Latest / The Hannah Hammond Show / The Success Trap: Why Getting Everything You Want Still Might Not Make You Happy — Christy Whitman
Transcript
- 0:00I have had contrasting things that were very traumatic, like
- 0:03my sister committing suicide, like being, you know, $600,000
- 0:07in debt. But all of those contrasting
- 0:09things were not meant to break me.
- 0:11They were meant to build. Me, I am here with Christy
- 0:14Whitman who is a law of Attraction flow state expert.
- 0:20Been doing this long before even the secret came out.
- 0:23Graduated from college, I got a high paying job.
- 0:25I was doing really well. I met the guy, got engaged, and
- 0:30it was this feeling of I thought all these things were supposed
- 0:33to make me happy and I feel depressed.
- 0:36The secret is a pathway, or it's a map for people knowing about
- 0:40the seven essential laws, especially the law of
- 0:43sufficiency and abundance. It's like everything falls into
- 0:46place. CEOs and founders and leaders
- 0:48and experts in so many different fields.
- 0:50A lot of us have a deeply rooted imprint of I am Not Enough.
- 0:55How do we fix that? Welcome back to the Hannah
- 1:00Hammond show. I am here with Christy Whitman
- 1:03who is a law of attraction flow state expert.
- 1:07Been doing this long before even the secret came out.
- 1:11So all of you who follow my show and know me well know how much I
- 1:14preach about flow, not force, and the massive transformation
- 1:18that shifting from force to flow had on my life.
- 1:22And I just can't wait to really dive into the science behind it,
- 1:26the laws behind it and your universal truths in both the law
- 1:31of abundance and the law of attraction and flow state.
- 1:34How to get into it intentionally, how to get back
- 1:36into it when you get knocked out of it and how to literally
- 1:39design and create your life. And not just from like a, you
- 1:42know, people think it's woo woo. This is real stuff.
- 1:45And it has been had a bigger impact on me than anything else
- 1:48in the whole world. And pairing that with other
- 1:51principles and leadership and, and values and relationships and
- 1:54all of that, I think is the way and what's required for us to
- 1:58actually be able to realize our potential.
- 1:59So welcome to the show. Thank you so much.
- 2:01Well, when you think about it, just even the greatest minds of
- 2:04our time, they knew about energy and vibration.
- 2:07And when we really start there, I mean, it's not just a woo woo
- 2:10thing anymore. It's not just a quantum.
- 2:13We we know from quantum reality that vibration attracts
- 2:16vibration. You know, there is there is this
- 2:19formless substance, which is energy.
- 2:21And when given thought to this energy, it forms, it moves, it
- 2:25starts to become, it radiates at that same vibration.
- 2:28And so it's fascinating. But when you look, you look at
- 2:31Tesla and Einstein and you know, all these just amazing minds
- 2:35that were inventors and Ford and you know, top of of companies,
- 2:39they all knew the secret. You know, they all knew that
- 2:42it's about energy. And when you really coalesce it
- 2:45and make it into not such an esoteric woo woo type of thing,
- 2:49but a grounded thing is that energy is really about what
- 2:52words we speak, our words, our thoughts, our perceptions, our
- 2:57beliefs of things, our emotions, and then what actions we take.
- 3:02And that's our focus. And when we know that, it's
- 3:06like, I can't control what somebody else says or does.
- 3:09I can't speak for them. I can't change their behavior,
- 3:12but I can change mine. I can shift mine.
- 3:15And that's what's in my control. And I can either do it by
- 3:17default, which a lot of people do and most of us, you know,
- 3:22grew up that way doing until we have that awakening or read a
- 3:25book or, you know, listen to a podcast where you have this aha.
- 3:29And you awaken into something more and energy is everything.
- 3:34I mean it's. It's everything.
- 3:36It's creation. Energy cannot be created or
- 3:38destroyed. It just transfers into something
- 3:40else. And it's a law of physics, which
- 3:44I know I just butchered that, but pretty much a lot of things
- 3:46like that was beautiful. So.
- 3:48I think for me, I was in fight or flight for the 1st 25 years
- 3:53of my life and I was just trying to figure out how to survive
- 3:58like wake up another day, get through this next day, try not
- 4:02to jump off of a bridge today. And I keep going and get paid
- 4:05the bills and and take care of myself.
- 4:07And so where most people. Are.
- 4:09Yeah, yeah. And I think if someone at the
- 4:12time would have came to me and tried to, well, it would have
- 4:17been so nice because so the actual transformative part of my
- 4:21life, like the catalyst people say, how did you transform from
- 4:24suicidal, depressed, anxious, on antidepressants, on Xanax,
- 4:29chronic nightmares, horrible relationships, no self worth,
- 4:32bulimic, like all the issues. How did you transform from that
- 4:36to truly everyone in the meets was like, you're the happiest
- 4:39person I've ever met. You have this just aura around
- 4:42you. Like people tell me that and
- 4:45how'd you get from A to B, right.
- 4:46And it was, it was a pretty quick shift.
- 4:48And it was the coach that I hired that taught me about
- 4:51energetic intelligence and flow state.
- 4:53And it was that light bulb like you just mentioned, that thing
- 4:57that went off for me to realize that for the first time I had
- 5:01the awareness that I was living in what he called the red zone,
- 5:04fight or flight, force, scarcity, fear.
- 5:08And every my intention behind everything I was doing was
- 5:11coming from that place of lack and fear and not from abundance
- 5:15and love. And as long as he said the
- 5:17outcome can only be as great as the energetic state that you
- 5:21initiate the action, so it goes. Your priority shouldn't be let
- 5:26me make more calls, let me close this next deal, let me go talk
- 5:29to 10 more people to get clients.
- 5:31Your priority should be let me figure out how to maintain peak
- 5:35energetic state. And then everything that I want
- 5:38and everything that's actually meant for me will flow to me way
- 5:41easier instead of trying to push this massive block of ice up a
- 5:45hill for my entire life that is so exhausting and draining.
- 5:48Exactly. No, that's amazing thing.
- 5:50Is that what you're talking about?
- 5:52That's where I started to. I mean, I, you know, graduated
- 5:55from college, I got a high I paying job, I was doing really
- 5:58well. I met the guy, got engaged.
- 6:01And it was this feeling of I thought all these things were
- 6:04supposed to make me happy. And I feel depressed and I, I
- 6:09understand your stay. I had a sister who around the
- 6:12time that I was awakening, committed suicide.
- 6:15And so that was a big, huge thing for me.
- 6:17But there was an awakening on the other end of that because I
- 6:21realized and started getting more connected to energy and you
- 6:26know, what's what energy is and, and that and, and to be able to
- 6:31master my own emotions. Because when you go through
- 6:34something like that, when there's grief, you know, you
- 6:37need to process the energy of it.
- 6:39And that's where a lot of people now we're talking about energy
- 6:43and all that, but part of energy and for us to understand, like I
- 6:46mentioned some words that we say, it's the thoughts that we
- 6:49think, it's the perceptions, the beliefs, it's the emotions.
- 6:53So and also actions. So the emotions when we're
- 6:57feeling scared or, you know, anxious or those states we're
- 7:02in, like, I like to call it three different buckets.
- 7:05We're in the first bucket, which is all about lack drama,
- 7:08scarcity. It's it's where the flight fight
- 7:12and even fawn where you, you know, try to fawn all over
- 7:14someone just to be OK, just to survive, you know, and these
- 7:19states are they don't feel good. I mean, that's the first bucket
- 7:22just doesn't feel good. And in that first bucket, it's
- 7:24like all of the emotions of, you know, worry, fear, doubt, which
- 7:30go through most people's minds just automatically a lot all day
- 7:35long. And the key is to, yes, live in
- 7:38this other state that's abundance and love and the high
- 7:41vibrations. But most people don't know how
- 7:43to get out of that survival mode and get from lack to abundance.
- 7:48And that's really the work that I've been doing for the past 25
- 7:51years. And even plus for myself is I
- 7:54wanted, I was so fascinated by a lack mentality versus abundance
- 7:58mentality. And how do we know, how do we
- 8:01know we're in a lack mentality #1 we don't feel good.
- 8:05You know, whether we're bored, we're in lack, right?
- 8:09So if we do not feel good, we're in lack.
- 8:12And but how do we get to feeling good?
- 8:14Well, there's the second bucket, which is neutrality and is also
- 8:18one of the universal laws. The seven essential laws that
- 8:21I've been talking about is the law of sufficiency and
- 8:24abundance. So you have to find a state of
- 8:27this is sufficient. I'm OK, we're OK.
- 8:31I'm going to survive this. All is well.
- 8:33I've I've overcome worse. Like getting into that place
- 8:37where you feel compassion, not judgement, where you feel a
- 8:42sense of peace. Maybe you're not over the moon
- 8:45excited, but you're peaceful, right?
- 8:47Or you can just even what I love to do from a somatic
- 8:51perspective, because this is so therapeutic is to hug myself,
- 8:55just wrap my arms around myself and just even for 90 seconds
- 8:58because Jill, Jill Bolton Taylor made us all aware with the
- 9:02energy world that takes 90 seconds to actually process an
- 9:06emotion. So when you're holding yourself
- 9:08or even just putting your hand on your heart, doing a somatic
- 9:12touch like that, it calms our nervous system.
- 9:15And one thing I want to share just as a gift to you, and This
- 9:18is why I teach everybody is because this is just such a game
- 9:21changer. All of the energy when we're in
- 9:24fight flight or we're in lack is at the back of the head and
- 9:27neck. It's, it's where you're, you're
- 9:29talking about that survival. I got to drive.
- 9:31I've, I've got to, I've got to survive this, right?
- 9:34How am I going to get through this kind of thing?
- 9:37All that's coming from the back of the head and neck, the
- 9:40amygdala, all the, you know, different parts of the brain
- 9:42back there. And when the back of the brain
- 9:45is activated, there's no activation happening in the
- 9:49prefrontal cortex. There's no activation or energy
- 9:52going into a space where I'm utilizing.
- 9:55Because when you envision something, when you vision
- 9:58something, you're using the front part of your brain and you
- 10:00act that every time you do that. And the more you envision what
- 10:03you want it, it's like you're creating those channels.
- 10:07I mean, science with, you know, the neuro channels and all of
- 10:10that. I mean, there's far more people
- 10:12that can talk on the science of all that.
- 10:14But what I do know is the more you use it, you know, the more
- 10:18you have a connection with it and the more it's like a, a tool
- 10:21that is just so second nature. And so we got, we have to get
- 10:25the activity of our brain out the back of the head and neck
- 10:29and up into the front. And we do that because there's
- 10:32an energy chakra, right? Right where your head and your
- 10:36spine come together. And if you imagine like you're
- 10:38turning it on or just opening it up and just feel energy
- 10:43releasing out the back of the head and neck, this just calms
- 10:47your system and it gets that energy releasing.
- 10:50Some of it might be a gushing coming out, some of it might be
- 10:52a pulsation, Some of it you might not feel right away.
- 10:56But this release of energy back there really allows the brain to
- 11:01then, you know, recalibrate and then gives us more focus on, you
- 11:05know, what do I want? Why do I want it?
- 11:08How do I want to feel? What do I envision?
- 11:11You know, what would I love? And, and now we're focused in a
- 11:14totally different way when we're approaching life like, wow, what
- 11:17else is possible? What would I love?
- 11:19You know what? What would be fun to do or
- 11:21experience or be, you know, And we're in creative mode, not
- 11:26survival mode, right? I love this.
- 11:28I don't have you heard of William Lamb?
- 11:31He owns upgrade and I was in his training here a few weeks ago
- 11:36and he said, how much pleasure can I endure?
- 11:40And so many of us are wired to think like, how much pain can I
- 11:44endure? And and I always want to be
- 11:46cautious this because the grit and the pain.
- 11:48And Lauren and I were talking about this in our podcast like
- 11:50that relentlessness, that grit is so necessary to grow and
- 11:54thrive. But I think that it serves us
- 11:57for a season. And then through this work,
- 12:00learning energy, learning law of attract and law of abundance,
- 12:03law of sufficiency and flow state, we can take that pain and
- 12:09that suffering and that grit and that relentlessness and
- 12:12implement these tools. And like understanding the
- 12:14quantum physics and science behind it and the, and the
- 12:17energy behind it and the power behind it.
- 12:20And then actually learn, like literally learn to enjoy and
- 12:24embrace the storms. And so it's not that the storm
- 12:28went away, it's just you don't have the same level of pain and
- 12:30suffering when you're going through it because you actually
- 12:34like, what can I learn in this moment?
- 12:36And you can maintain, you have the skills to actually keep
- 12:38yourself calm, keep yourself grounded, keep yourself
- 12:40connected, keep yourself regulated and be able to be
- 12:43like, OK, I'm not going to avoid the storms as I sail further out
- 12:48to sea. The storms are going to get
- 12:49bigger. It's rough waters out there, but
- 12:51I'm going to become a better sailor.
- 12:52And I'm excited to learn how to continue to master the
- 12:55navigation and ultimately push my consciousness, my
- 12:59performance, my happiness, my connection and self mastery.
- 13:02And it's so many leaders that I see cuz I do these interviews
- 13:04all the time. So in particularly in the male
- 13:08space, I'm in a male driven world.
- 13:10So many of them are still in the belief system that they have to
- 13:14have the pain to continue to drive forward.
- 13:17And they're still building from a place of lack.
- 13:19And it breaks my heart to see because they're successful, but
- 13:23I can see that they're. Not enough fulfilled, right?
- 13:26It's not enough when it's going to be enough.
- 13:28No pain, no gain, right? They come from that generation.
- 13:30But it's interesting because the flow factor is about that.
- 13:33We cannot avoid contrast. Contrast is what we don't want
- 13:38and you can think of, I mean, I don't even want to list what it
- 13:41is. It could be a flat tire, could
- 13:42be someone insults you, you know, someone that you love
- 13:46passes. I mean, we have so many
- 13:48different varieties of what contrast could look like in any
- 13:52given day, but we can't avoid those things.
- 13:56We can't make them go away. I've tried, right?
- 13:59I've tried to change a person so that I could be better or I
- 14:03could feel better. That's just useless of my power.
- 14:06But most people are doing that. If they would change, if they
- 14:10would just put the toilet seat down, if they would just call me
- 14:12back, if they would be different, then I would be OK.
- 14:16And all of our powers outside of us at that point.
- 14:19And so, you know, to understand that we choose, right?
- 14:24We we can choose how we want to feel.
- 14:25We can choose what we want to focus on, but contrast, it will
- 14:30never go away. But we can look at what are the
- 14:33blessings in it? Where is that, you know, place
- 14:36of appreciation and gratitude. I was, I was just telling, I was
- 14:40just telling. Sorry, I forgot your name.
- 14:43Leah. Thank you.
- 14:44I was just telling Leah that this morning I came out at 5:15
- 14:47to go in the casita and there was a rattlesnake right at the
- 14:51strip of my door, right. And it's like, you know, that
- 14:55wasn't something I was planning on, right?
- 14:57But am I going to let the rattlesnake ruin my day, right?
- 15:01It's like, so I told my husband I would be quiet waking him up
- 15:05this morning. But the day shifted and we're
- 15:07flowing into, Hun, I need your help.
- 15:09There's the rattlesnake of running the door, you know, so
- 15:12the day flows and shifts. I mean, it could be something
- 15:15that's traumatic. But all of those contrasting
- 15:19experiences were opportunities to get clarity of what we do
- 15:23want. So like you're saying, you know,
- 15:25they, they strengthened us. They, they, they, those things
- 15:29we overcame made us aware that we can overcome things, right,
- 15:34right. And, and as, as I get up, get up
- 15:37there in age, you know, as I have, I mean, I have had
- 15:40contrasting things that were very traumatic, like my sister
- 15:44committing suicide, like, you know, being let go of a job when
- 15:47I was in one of the leaders in a company, like being, you know,
- 15:50$600,000 in debt, you know, many different things.
- 15:55My, I have two boys and my, my youngest, when he was two months
- 16:00of age, was rushed to the hospital and had to have open
- 16:04heart surgery when we almost lost him.
- 16:06And but he was in the hospital for a month.
- 16:10And now he's like the star of his soccer team.
- 16:12He's super into bodybuilding. He's super smart kid.
- 16:15But all of those contrasting things were not meant to break
- 16:19me. They were meant to build me.
- 16:20And they did. And, and I'm so grateful that
- 16:23I've had the foundation of kind of like we were giggling about
- 16:27before, is the rules of the game.
- 16:30It's like, you know, the secret is, is a pathway or it's a map,
- 16:35not for people. You know, for me, I feel like
- 16:37knowing about the seven essential laws, especially the
- 16:40law of sufficiency and abundance, it's like everything
- 16:43falls into place. And so I know where my part in
- 16:46the universe is. And my part is what it, what
- 16:49words am I saying? Am I saying words that are
- 16:52empowering and are focused on what I do want?
- 16:56Or am I saying words that are diminishing or constricting me
- 17:00because words, they spark creation.
- 17:02Words have power. I know you did a video on
- 17:04different words too too. I mean, words are absolutely so
- 17:09essential that we when we're saying something right?
- 17:12I did a whole and I can give it to you too.
- 17:14But the a whole 30 day free video program called Watch your
- 17:19words, Watch your words.com. And it's literally 2 to 3
- 17:23minutes in a video a day and it tells you what not to say why
- 17:28and what to say instead. And because we a lot of times
- 17:33knowing why that's not something we want to say, you know, helps
- 17:36people go, OK, yeah, I don't. And plus, awareness is the only
- 17:40way you can really change, right?
- 17:41So having this awareness of what words and then what do I change
- 17:45it to? Because as we're talking about
- 17:47energy, if we're releasing a thought that's negative, we have
- 17:52to bring in a positive thought to replace it.
- 17:54We can't just let go of energy. We have to, you know, bring it
- 17:57in. Yeah, so back to William Lam.
- 17:59He was talking about how we all follow these mind maps and I was
- 18:03telling Lauren about this too. Is when you have a like Pavlov's
- 18:08dog, a belief when you like anger?
- 18:11I use the same example. If you get what you want as a
- 18:16result of yelling at somebody, then you start to believe that
- 18:20anger gets you what you want. Or if you get attention from
- 18:23someone when you are sad and depressed, you start to believe
- 18:27I have to be sad or depressed to get attention and love, right?
- 18:30And so these end up guiding our lives because we just believe
- 18:34that because it happened this one time or two or three or 10
- 18:36or whatever in our childhoods or however that circumstance is.
- 18:40People believe these limiting beliefs and create these mind
- 18:43maps that run their lives forever.
- 18:46And they can't even fathom the concept that they can choose to
- 18:50believe a different thing. And like, for me, I witnessed my
- 18:54mother for all my life shaming her body and, you know, being
- 19:00like, I'm so fat and I'm so ugly and I'm not like all these
- 19:03things. And so I'm like, well, I'm so
- 19:06fat and I'm so like, that was what I believed and I adopted,
- 19:09right? And so when later in my life
- 19:11when I was trying to rewire those because I was deep in
- 19:14bulimia and binge eating and deep down food addiction, even
- 19:18though I was super successful on the outside, but people didn't
- 19:21know that I'm, you know, eating disgusting amounts of food and
- 19:24then making myself puke and then like, it's disgusting.
- 19:27It's horrible, horrible, shameful things.
- 19:30I've been there, done that. I, you're, we.
- 19:32Yeah, I relate with you. Yeah.
- 19:34I went through that period too, because my mom's the same way.
- 19:36And I always see my mom disgusted at her body.
- 19:39I'm starting a diet on Monday, you know, And, and just that
- 19:43whole, like, obsession about food and, and body and, and I'm
- 19:48so grateful I don't do that. And I'm in better shape at my
- 19:51age than she was at her age. Not to compare 'cause we're too,
- 19:54we're different. But I'm grateful that I saw her
- 19:57go through that 'cause that's the contrast that you saw, then
- 20:01adopted in yourself, but then made a choice and let that be
- 20:06the thing that gave you clarity. I don't want to be like that.
- 20:09So if I don't want to be like that, what do I want to be like?
- 20:12Right, Well, that was the first thing that my coach taught me
- 20:15was when you look first the awareness, right, We have to
- 20:19have the awareness. You don't have the awareness.
- 20:20You can't change. So it has to stem from
- 20:22awareness. And that's where meditation and
- 20:24stillness and sitting quiet with yourself is so important, even
- 20:28though it's the thing that we resist more than anything in the
- 20:30world. It's like actually being quiet
- 20:32with ourselves. That was the most difficult
- 20:34thing for me out of anything. I was like, I could build this,
- 20:37I could do that, I could run this, like whatever.
- 20:40But to sit there with no stimulation and just with my own
- 20:43thoughts like that was very painful when I first did this.
- 20:48But the first thing was the awareness of what my thoughts
- 20:51were when I even looked in the mirror.
- 20:53And then I was like, oh, wow, this is some pretty negative
- 20:56stuff. Like, you know, all the bad
- 20:58things, right? And then the choice to change
- 21:03those thoughts and replace them. And it was for me, I forget what
- 21:06that Hawaiian saying is, but I love you.
- 21:08I'm sorry that one. And so I had to rewire my own
- 21:13habit of OK, every time I look in the mirror, it's OK if I
- 21:17think the thoughts of the old thoughts that formed in my head,
- 21:20I don't need to react on them emotionally.
- 21:22I have the awareness and I stop it there and I re change the
- 21:26thought. I love you, I'm sorry, please
- 21:28forgive me, Thank you and and give myself that hug.
- 21:31And I did that same thing. And then slowly, like now when I
- 21:34look in the mirror, sometimes that old thought will come up.
- 21:36But it's now the habit is if that thought comes up, I
- 21:39immediately say the new thought. And it sounds silly to people,
- 21:42but it's like that is how we rewire, start to rewire our
- 21:46energy and when we start to create new behavior patterns in
- 21:51our life and it feels good. It does because it doesn't feel
- 21:55good when you're thinking and lack.
- 21:57It feels bad when you think I'm fat or I'm ugly or I'm lazy.
- 22:01By the way, I am. I mean, people talk about all
- 22:04the time, but the power of I am. And then what comes after that?
- 22:08If you say I am pretty, you're going to feel good.
- 22:11If I say I, I am ugly, I'm going to feel bad.
- 22:14So that I am and how you identify yourself, that is
- 22:18everything. It's like it's such a, a single
- 22:20point of focus. Excuse me, that where every,
- 22:24every moment we're with ourselves.
- 22:26And so how you identify yourself with yourself is I am empowered.
- 22:31I am powerless, right? It's, it literally drops your
- 22:34energy to like we're talking about with the simplicity of
- 22:37just even words, right? And so seeing those type of
- 22:40things that when you're in lack and you know, you're in lack
- 22:43because what I just said to myself, what I've been
- 22:45picturing, what I've been entertaining in my head as a, as
- 22:49an image, it hasn't felt good. Oh, I've been worrying, I'm in
- 22:53lack. So how do I get to abundance?
- 22:55Cause abundance feels good, right?
- 22:57So that's where the middle ground of, OK, I'm all right,
- 23:01I'm OK. You know, that's like that
- 23:03getting to that sufficiency ground, right?
- 23:07It's like I'm content. It's kind of like in the not to
- 23:11get too biblical and all that kind of stuff.
- 23:12But in the when you really break down the Lord's Prayer, you know
- 23:15when, when Jesus Yeshua was talking and it's amazing what he
- 23:19created, you know, thousands of years later when his ministry
- 23:23was only like 3 1/2 years, it like, and he only had like a
- 23:26couple of talks. It's it's mind blowing.
- 23:28That's what William talks about too, is like, what's your Jesus
- 23:33effect, your thousand year goal? But.
- 23:34Exactly. I love that.
- 23:36But he was saying, you know, they wanted to know how to pray
- 23:40and it in the prayer. And part of that is, you know,
- 23:44give us Our Daily Bread. And so it's it's talking about
- 23:47abundance. Let me have a sufficiency for
- 23:50today because and he even talked about don't worry about tomorrow
- 23:55because the father will take care of you.
- 23:57So it's but you have to come from a place of this is
- 24:00sufficient, right. And then looking forward to what
- 24:04else is next, because if you're coming from, and most people
- 24:08build businesses, I certainly did that in the beginning to,
- 24:11you know, I got to do and I got to go and I got faster and I got
- 24:13more and I got bigger. And you know that that's coming
- 24:16from and it's great fuel, right? It really is great fuel.
- 24:20But it gets to a point where like you were saying about the
- 24:23guys that you know, that, you know, you are in business with
- 24:26or know in business where it's like they're, they don't know
- 24:29how to turn it off. They, they come from that place
- 24:32because they haven't exercised, activated, practice the
- 24:37vibration of being content because they're driven by the
- 24:40bucket of lack, right? And so that's what drives them.
- 24:43They work hard, they strive, they strive, they're exhausted.
- 24:46You know, some of them might have health issues, other parts
- 24:49of their life might fall apart. We can have it all and meaning
- 24:53have our own version of, you know, my version of having it
- 24:57all. And your version of having it
- 24:59all might be different, but what my version of having it all is,
- 25:03I'm living it. I have it, you know, and it's
- 25:06like each aspect of my life that's important to me.
- 25:09Am I doing what I love? Am I hanging out with the people
- 25:12I enjoy? Am I joyful in those moments?
- 25:16Right. If the contrast happens, am I
- 25:18able to quickly get off of it and, you know, change my point
- 25:21of focus and focus more on what I want?
- 25:23I mean, all of this is just, you know, being sufficient, being
- 25:27grateful and, and not just I'm grateful, it's a I'm grateful,
- 25:31thank you, 'cause if I was going to give you a gift, right?
- 25:34And yeah, I handed you the gift, just I handed the book, right?
- 25:37And you go thank you. It means that you just received
- 25:40it. And so many people talk about
- 25:42gratitude. And you know, I have for years
- 25:44too, but and it's, it's not just to let me list all the things
- 25:48I'm grateful for because it becomes very heady.
- 25:51Right right checklist. Exactly.
- 25:53Instead, the practice like thinking of one person, one
- 25:57thing that you're grateful for, and then five reasons why,
- 26:01because that will drop you into the energy in the heart center.
- 26:04But then after all, all that, just say thank you because that
- 26:09thank you in gratitude to the universe that connects you.
- 26:13There's there's a harmony point that happens because who are you
- 26:18thinking, right? If you're like, oh, I'm grateful
- 26:20for this, I'm grateful for that. You're just kind of listing out
- 26:22stuff. But when you're thanking
- 26:24someone, right, it's like, who are you thinking?
- 26:27What, what what provided for you?
- 26:29What sourced you, you know what, what fuels you and it's that
- 26:34formless substance that is in everyone and everything that is
- 26:39energy. And when we can understand that
- 26:42all energy is positive, it's creative, it's moving, for it's
- 26:45in flow, right? So why the book is called The
- 26:49Flow Factor is because flow always exists.
- 26:52That state always exists. And for for those watching who
- 26:56don't dive deep in his work, what how would you explain what
- 26:59flow is? Flow is just things working out.
- 27:02You know, it is simple as you get in your car and all the
- 27:06green lights, right? It's like it just seems like you
- 27:09just drive somewhere and there's a parking spot, right?
- 27:11The person you thought about all of a sudden they call you.
- 27:14It's just things flow. I mean that, you know, it feels
- 27:17good. Flow feels good, you know, and
- 27:20when you're out of flow because it's always there, the potential
- 27:24for that is always there. We're the factor if we're in
- 27:27lack and we're looking at something that we don't have,
- 27:30instead of appreciating and really being in gratitude for
- 27:33what we do, right, our perspective, our vibration is
- 27:36going to be totally off. Someone that has $100,000 worth
- 27:40of debt has a very different vibration that someone has
- 27:43$100,000 in their bank account. It's a widely different
- 27:46vibration or millions or billions, right?
- 27:49And so there's a vibration that we need to resonate with because
- 27:53everything is energy. All energy carries A vibration.
- 27:57That vibration goes out into the universe and brings to attracts
- 28:01to magnetizes more of that same vibration.
- 28:04And that's how most people that don't know this and don't
- 28:07deliberately change their thoughts or their perspectives
- 28:10or their, you know, what they're visualizing.
- 28:13They stay stuck in the same kind of relationships and, you know,
- 28:16the same stuff keeps happening because they're not shifting
- 28:19their vibration. Yeah, they're just retracting
- 28:22exactly what they're resisting. And when you have that
- 28:24resistance, you literally are calling that in to your life.
- 28:28Like if you're saying it's the example of don't think of an
- 28:31elephant, right, You're think all you could think about is an
- 28:34elephant. So if you're thinking about what
- 28:35you don't want, I don't want to be poor, I don't want to have a
- 28:38bad relationship. I don't want another disloyal
- 28:41boyfriend. I don't want my kids to hate me.
- 28:43I don't want to be sick. Like all these things.
- 28:45Generally people who are speaking with that language and
- 28:47believing all of those things are just attracting more of
- 28:50exactly what they don't want. And that's what I had realized
- 28:53in my life was it was always, I don't want this.
- 28:58I'm afraid of this. This scares the hell out of me.
- 29:01This bad outcome could happen to me.
- 29:04This already did happen to me and I don't want it to happen to
- 29:06me again. Yes.
- 29:08And so I was thinking that I was being clear on what I didn't
- 29:11want, but I didn't even know what I did want.
- 29:14And I just continued to attract the things that I didn't want.
- 29:17And it wasn't, it wasn't until I had the awareness, I had the
- 29:21knowledge of what is energy, what is flow state?
- 29:26How do I shift my state after I'm aware of my state and reset
- 29:30when things in life happen and keep that as a top priority and
- 29:34then get super, super crystal clear on my true north.
- 29:37Like this is what I want. This is what my date, What if I
- 29:41could have anything in the whole world and anything is possible?
- 29:44This is what I want to create. This is what I want my day to
- 29:47look like. These are the conversations I
- 29:48want to be having. These are the types of people I
- 29:50want to be having at my company and in my world.
- 29:53This is the kind of environments I want to be in.
- 29:55This is the kind of travel I want to be doing.
- 29:57These are the kind of experiences and hobbies of that
- 30:00I want to have. This is the impact I want to
- 30:02make. Like I had to get so crystal
- 30:04clear on that and completely forget about what I don't want
- 30:07because I learned a lot of that, right?
- 30:09And they're done that right. Yeah.
- 30:10No thanks and be like this. Is my true north.
- 30:13This is my North star and I will relentlessly stick to this no
- 30:19matter what and I will never get give up on sticking to this and
- 30:22maintaining my energetic state. And it had to become this
- 30:26literal signed commitment that I did like, I am not going to live
- 30:32in this state of misery and hell anymore and I'm going to figure
- 30:37this out or I'm not going to be here anymore.
- 30:40And not it had to unfortunately get that bad for me before I
- 30:43took these things seriously, right.
- 30:45But when you when you actually have no other option but to take
- 30:49it seriously and then you. And like for me, I started to
- 30:52see the magic because I'm an all logic engineer, you know, didn't
- 30:56have a bunch of softness in my life.
- 30:58So I don't think I was ready to hear a message like this until
- 31:01it with my life was so bad that I'm like, OK, that's the last
- 31:04thing I can try. Thank God for the contrast.
- 31:06See the contrast? Sometimes, yeah, So.
- 31:10Like for those out there, maybe they're really struggling right
- 31:13now. Maybe they're having financial
- 31:15difficulties that don't seem to end.
- 31:17Maybe they're having a marriage that's really challenging.
- 31:20Maybe they're their kids and their family household is not
- 31:23going well. Maybe they just lost someone in
- 31:25their family or or struggling with health issues or sickness.
- 31:28What's the first step that they do well to?
- 31:32Yeah. What was the first thing they do
- 31:33to change their life? You.
- 31:35You first you need to give. Compassion to yourself for where
- 31:37you are because there are points and periods in life that are
- 31:41hard. There are parts, you know, it's
- 31:43not always easy. And those moments you just need
- 31:49to give yourself compassion and what most people misunderstand
- 31:52compassion. So I'm going to give like a
- 31:54little process so that you can just do this because this is
- 31:58what starts the connection to compassion.
- 32:01Think about compassion as a soothing energy.
- 32:04You're hot, right? You come inside and you're like,
- 32:06ah, the air conditioning in the middle of summer in Arizona,
- 32:10right? If you're in winter somewhere
- 32:12and you're cold, someone hands you a cup of coffee or tea or
- 32:15hot cocoa and you're like, ah, like that feeling of.
- 32:20I can breathe. I can let it go, right?
- 32:22You can feel that like you get into your comfy bed at night and
- 32:25you're just like. Like that's the.
- 32:28Energy we're going for, right? That's the it's going to be OK.
- 32:32That calming, soothing energy. And so if you just even imagine
- 32:36just as a guided little meditation, if just imagine that
- 32:40what's all around you is energy. It's your energy field.
- 32:44And if you were to imagine like a cocoon of light all around
- 32:48you, say 5 feet above you, all the way around your side, your
- 32:53left, your, you know, underneath you, behind you and within you.
- 32:58And you were allowing yourself to just feel that light and that
- 33:02support, that comfort. Like almost like an angel's
- 33:06behind you, just spreading their wings and, you know, wrapping
- 33:09you and just a big hug like. Like you can.
- 33:13Feel your nervous system start to release and even that's where
- 33:16the energy center at the back of the head.
- 33:18You can imagine opening that up any activity in the back of the
- 33:22head, just letting that release. And just taking a deep.
- 33:27Breath in and then that's where you can give yourself that hug.
- 33:30You could put your hand on your heart, cause somatic touch, you
- 33:34know, whether you want to, you know, hug your neck, whatever it
- 33:37is, but something to touch yourself where you're giving
- 33:40yourself the somatic touch for about 90 seconds and just
- 33:44feeling that. You know that sense of.
- 33:48Letting go. I'm OK, I'm supported 'cause
- 33:51that's when you want to then bring in the words of
- 33:53affirmation. I'm OK.
- 33:56This too shall pass. You've been through worse.
- 34:00You're going to get through this.
- 34:01I'm supported. Taking some breaths.
- 34:05In and then the all important thank you.
- 34:08Like thank you for hearing my, you know, intention.
- 34:11Thank you for hearing me. Thank you for answering my
- 34:13prayer. And then just feel how calm.
- 34:17You feel now you know that's a different state.
- 34:21You look so calm and beautiful, so calm.
- 34:24I feel like I'm in my. Warm little cocoon you are and
- 34:26I. Was in here.
- 34:27For a second, well, in that parasympathetic state at that
- 34:32breathing, I remember when I was taught 4 seconds inhale through
- 34:37the nose, 8 seconds exhale through the mouth.
- 34:41And it shifts your body from a sympathetic fight or flight
- 34:45state to a parasympathetic state of I am safe, I am calm.
- 34:49And it that's like a quick reset that I learned I could do.
- 34:52And I start to feel that I'm super tense and I get in my
- 34:55wiry, you know, CEO mode. I can breathe and just sit there
- 35:01and relax and breathe for a few breaths and you can literally
- 35:05feel your entire energy, everything to shift.
- 35:08Like. Before you go into an important
- 35:09meeting, right, one meeting. That's why now I actually
- 35:13schedule gaps. Little get, I know it's not the
- 35:16most efficient thing, but your outcome can only be as great as
- 35:20the energetic state that you initiate the action.
- 35:22And so scheduling those gaps to reset between meetings because
- 35:26you go from one person's energy right into the next person's
- 35:30energy to the next person's energy.
- 35:31And then you have yours that you still need to maintain too.
- 35:34And so those little resets like really helped me too as a high
- 35:37performance to get myself back. And I think I'm going to start
- 35:40doing that little meditation of like the white light and the
- 35:44warm cocoon and the energy coming out that's really, really
- 35:47cool as another layer of the the breath work to get back into
- 35:51that parasympathetic state to like, breathe.
- 35:54Yeah. And I love what?
- 35:55You're saying because meditation isn't just for and I I, you
- 35:59know, 30 years ago when I met someone that meditated, I had a
- 36:02vision that meditations from guru guys sitting on a
- 36:06mountaintop Oming right. It's for ladies like you that
- 36:10are kicking ass at work and you know, and just doing it.
- 36:14I mean, and just radiate success and you, you manage a lot and
- 36:19there's a lot going on. So to fill your day with just,
- 36:23you know, appointment after appointment after appointment
- 36:26and not care about you, right. Taking that space, it may not be
- 36:31the most efficient thing, but it's like taking that space is a
- 36:34reset. It's, it's giving you an
- 36:36opportunity to fill back up. Because what most people don't
- 36:40understand is that we're energy receivers, right?
- 36:44We're, we hear about law of attraction, what you send
- 36:46outcomes back, right? But there's a deeper story to
- 36:48that. We're energy receivers.
- 36:50We're receiving in energy all day, every day.
- 36:54You know, we exchange energy with the people we're sitting
- 36:56in, having conversation with, right?
- 36:58We're picking up on energy. And when we can fill ourselves
- 37:02up with that light, when we can deliberately say, OK, this is
- 37:07the energy I want to feel today, right?
- 37:09When we're, we're saying, OK, I want to feel success today.
- 37:13And we're letting our cup fill up, right?
- 37:16Nobody else's energy can get in and affect us when we're filled
- 37:20from within. But if we're drained, now we're
- 37:23going to be picking up on everybody else's energy as well.
- 37:26And so that's why energy mastery techniques and in what you're
- 37:29doing, like different breath work or you know, a
- 37:32visualization or things like that, there's like 16 different
- 37:35ones in the flow factor that are categorized for if you're kind
- 37:39of spinning in your mental body, what to do if you're spinning in
- 37:42your emotional body, what to do if something's going on in your
- 37:44physical body? Because the physical body,
- 37:47anything that is presenting as an acha pain, you know,
- 37:50something is a part of the consciousness that's out of
- 37:54alignment with who you really are.
- 37:56And that's whole, all complete and well.
- 37:58And just like if you're in alignment, right, you're
- 38:02abundant and you're in love and in support and you're having
- 38:07success. And it's amazing that through
- 38:11the years, through the decades, there's been people that would
- 38:13write books about it and talk about it.
- 38:15But now we're at an A place in time where it's like with
- 38:19podcasting and more of these conversations that more people
- 38:22get to have this information and get to then choose, Oh, that's
- 38:27you know who we or wait, really wait, I can change my reality.
- 38:31You know, I create my reality. So I want to.
- 38:34Dive into some of those techniques and maybe that'll
- 38:37come up in this conversation. But because I talk about this
- 38:40stuff all the time and I also have, and it's just so happens
- 38:44everything in my life is going wonderfully, right.
- 38:46It's like, sure, it's a really tough market.
- 38:48Sure, the real estate market's been brutal the past few years,
- 38:51but it's, I've been able, like I literally have not had a bad day
- 38:55in five years, not one. And it hasn't been an easy five
- 38:58years, but it's been a much, I mean, to me, it's been an easy
- 39:00five years because I live in this new state, but I also
- 39:03haven't gone through anything catastrophic, right?
- 39:06That's the, the, a real test too, is, and that's what I want
- 39:09to ask you is when you're going through those catastrophic
- 39:12things, because I know a lot of people, especially in real
- 39:16estate and there's lots going on in the economy.
- 39:17But in real estate in my world specifically, there's a lot of
- 39:20people losing a lot of money. There's a lot of people losing
- 39:22their assets. There's a lot of people who just
- 39:24worked the past 10 years and are going to lose everything that
- 39:26they built and all of that stripping of not only finances
- 39:30but of ego and of exhaustion and energy.
- 39:33And I trust identity, yeah. Like self identity if they are,
- 39:38yeah. And so for.
- 39:39You, when you went through, I mean, you, you had a death in
- 39:43your family, a tragic loss in your family and your son.
- 39:46When you're going through these catastrophic moments in your
- 39:51life, because we have things during our day like our, you
- 39:53know, one of our team members is angry at us or, you know, so and
- 39:57so flipped us off on the freeway.
- 39:59Those are minor and we have resets for that.
- 40:02But when you're going through deep, catastrophic, life
- 40:05altering situations, how do you use?
- 40:11Your laws and principles and flow to get through those
- 40:16moments. Well, here's the thing.
- 40:18Is that when someone's going through something and they're
- 40:22feeling scared or they're desperate or, you know, again,
- 40:25they're in the space of lack, right?
- 40:27They're they're going through no matter if it's real imagined,
- 40:32you know, if it's something that is their biggest tragic moment
- 40:35or it's something small it when you're feeling bad about
- 40:39something, you're coming from a place of lack.
- 40:42And if you're really trusting that there is this energy, there
- 40:46is this great substance that is pro each of us that wants us to.
- 40:53It's literally it's nature is to increase.
- 40:56You know, our, our nature is to grow.
- 40:58If you put a seed in the soil, that seed has the potential for
- 41:03100 more seeds or more. You know, it's like everything
- 41:05in nature is just meant to increase.
- 41:08So with that in mind, when someone's going through that,
- 41:12they have to feel the emotions, they have to feel the fear.
- 41:17And then once you process and feel the fear, that's when you
- 41:20then go into that second bucket of compassion doing.
- 41:24You know, one of the processes like feeling the compassion,
- 41:27right? Feel it, feeling the light,
- 41:29giving yourself the hug, doing words of wisdom or words of
- 41:33affirmation. But around that time is like,
- 41:35reach out to someone. Like you said, your life changed
- 41:38when you hired a coach. You know, my life changed when I
- 41:42happened to meet this woman who was doing my hair.
- 41:45I was living in California and she was just fabulous and had
- 41:51this light about her that, you know, you have that it just it
- 41:54this, but nobody I knew back then had this was in the 90s.
- 41:58So I was getting my hair cut and all of a sudden I'm like, all
- 42:01right, what do you do? You know, and she's like, I
- 42:04meditate and that's why I was like, meditate.
- 42:06Like I'm thinking, you know, we didn't have Internet like we do
- 42:09now, you know. And so she told me about her
- 42:12meditation teacher and our cell phones back then were big, huge,
- 42:16huge blocks, right? So I'm dialing her number at
- 42:19leaving this the salon and I just, I was like, I, I, I have
- 42:24to, it was like, I have to, I knew that I just had to meet
- 42:26this woman. And the minute I go to her house
- 42:30there, it was very strange, clinky, clinky new age music,
- 42:33candles everywhere. She invited me into her living
- 42:36room with no furniture but a little cushion.
- 42:39And I sat down and this huge fat cat named Steve comes out and I
- 42:44mean, just was, you know, rubbing up against me.
- 42:46So I'm loving on Steve and I happen to look up and Melanie
- 42:50looks at me deep into my soul, my soul that I've never like,
- 42:54I've never had that experience before.
- 42:55She like looked deep and she said you create your own
- 42:59reality. And when she said that, it was
- 43:01like, you know, just something in me opened up.
- 43:05And then I, I was like, yes, I do.
- 43:08I, yeah, I know. How do I, I've never heard this
- 43:11before, but I know this. There's something that resonates
- 43:14as awareness and truth and knowledge, right?
- 43:18And there's an understanding of this.
- 43:20And then all of a sudden I go, well, wait a minute.
- 43:22How, how do, how do I create my own reality?
- 43:25And she started with thoughts. You're either repelling things
- 43:29from you or attracting things to you based on the way you think.
- 43:33And that's where I went. I'm not my thoughts like what
- 43:36you know, like and she she could see that was like blown away,
- 43:40like I was having a just I'm not my thought.
- 43:42What a great my own reality. So she's like, come back in a
- 43:45week. I want you to pay attention to
- 43:46your thoughts. That's all I want you to do.
- 43:49And so I started paying attention to my thoughts.
- 43:51Like you were saying, I would look in the mirror and I was
- 43:54fat, I was too short. I was do this, you know, I,
- 43:58nothing I ever would do would ever be enough 'cause that
- 44:02internal voice was just based in lack.
- 44:05And so when you're in those places of despair, when you're
- 44:09going through a hard time, right, you got to check your
- 44:12internal voice, 'cause you're not going to get out of it and
- 44:15it's not going to feel good. You know when my when my sister
- 44:19took her life, I had a friend of mine that had a similar
- 44:23situation and he told me whatever you do, don't ask
- 44:27yourself why she did it because you're never going to know the
- 44:29answer to that. But focus on your own process of
- 44:33grieving. And so I took that.
- 44:35And every emotion I would feel, I don't care where it was, I
- 44:40would excuse myself, stop myself.
- 44:42It wasn't like an emotional wreck.
- 44:44But, you know, there'd be some Christmases where it would be
- 44:46like 8/10/20 years later. And I would think of her or I'd
- 44:50see an ornament and I'd just excuse myself and go into my
- 44:53closet and just cry, you know, and just let myself grieve her
- 44:57and, you know, feel that. And then I would bring in the
- 45:00compassion so that I'm not left with this grief and then
- 45:06processing the grief. And then I have to leave feeling
- 45:10not good, right? So it's like you bring in the
- 45:12compassion energy. And once you're in that neutral,
- 45:15kind of like, all right, I'm OK, let's do Christmas right now.
- 45:19You can find the higher vibrations.
- 45:21I, I like to think of it as like a piano keyboard, right?
- 45:25Every piano is a standard, the same keys, right?
- 45:29And each of us is the piano player.
- 45:31So I like to think of the formless substance, you know,
- 45:34energy as a piano, right? And every single key has a tone
- 45:39of vibration, right? So there are high vibrations
- 45:42such as abundance and love and joy.
- 45:45And we can choose where the factor, right?
- 45:47We can choose which key we play. That piano has the potential to
- 45:52play anything from Bach to Van Halen to I don't know who's
- 45:56popular today. You listen to?
- 45:58I listen mostly House. Music.
- 46:00OK, so you know beats. You can put beats.
- 46:03I guess, but you know, if you, if you made a synthesizer or a,
- 46:07you know, a, a whatever you call it, but the point is that you
- 46:11have all these different nodes, you have all these different
- 46:13frequencies and we're the ones that choose them because all of
- 46:16it's available. But the minute we get out of
- 46:20that compassion, I have a graph in the book.
- 46:22The minute you we, we go out of compassion into judgement.
- 46:27If we're observing something, the minute we judge it, Oh God,
- 46:30this is bad. Those things that are
- 46:32contrasting become worse and then we kick into our survival
- 46:37mode. That's when we get into can't
- 46:39see a way out of this. Oh my God, you know, it's like
- 46:42it, it's the worst thing ever. I'm going to die.
- 46:44How am I going to you know, and and you get into that just this
- 46:48is the this is it. This is the end.
- 46:50Like I don't see my way out of this right.
- 46:53Bringing in compassion for that, for being in those moments as a
- 46:58human being, they. Don't feel good, but.
- 47:01Anybody that has had any level of success has gone through them
- 47:04to overcome them to get to another level of success.
- 47:08And Tony Robbins. Talks about you can't be
- 47:10depressed and truly grateful at the same time.
- 47:13True. And so gratitude solves so many
- 47:16of those negative emotions because that depression that
- 47:20it's a it's like a victimhood, right Is I'm the victim.
- 47:24Nobody gets me, nobody loves me, Nobody's here for me.
- 47:28I'm not good enough Da da da da da da, like all these stories.
- 47:31But when we could go into full ownership and gratitude, then it
- 47:34allows us to start to create that abundance in our life.
- 47:37Like I I mean, I have a friend that has no arms or legs and is
- 47:40the happiest human you'll ever meet, right.
- 47:43And so like when you shift to wow, you really can choose and
- 47:47create whatever reality is. And it's our own story, our own
- 47:54beliefs that are limiting us to create what what we want in our
- 47:57life. But I I do feel from my personal
- 48:01journey and I'd love to hear your perspective on this because
- 48:04when I started to have the awareness of energy and flow and
- 48:07I'm like, OK, I want to maintain peak state.
- 48:09When I maintain peak state and flow state, all the things that
- 48:12are meant to me are going to come to me much easier.
- 48:14Still got to work hard, but I'm going to enjoy the the work
- 48:17right. So forcing a ice block.
- 48:19Up. A hill.
- 48:20As one of my coaches tells me, it's actually flowing to me like
- 48:24a wave coming into shore. And but I what I realized though
- 48:29is I was very frequently not in flow like I was, he says you
- 48:36want to live 90% in flow state. 10% is for grieving that lost
- 48:40that giving yourself that ability to feel your emotions
- 48:43and not just try to shove them down and lock them up and avoid
- 48:45them because that builds a soul tumor that creates all sorts of
- 48:48issues. Emotional intelligence.
- 48:50Yeah, yeah. But I.
- 48:52Couldn't at the time figure out how to keep myself in a state of
- 48:57flow because I just felt bad of remember when I said I sat in
- 49:00silence with myself and it was like the hardest thing for me to
- 49:03do. It was so painful.
- 49:04And then I had to go through a whole journey in order to
- 49:08support flow state of healing, of forgiveness, of therapy, of
- 49:12all of these things. And so I haven't read your books
- 49:15yet, but how you know this journey of once you understand
- 49:20the principles of energy and OK, we, we all understand and know
- 49:23that the way you think is important, the energy that you
- 49:26have, the, the frequency that you vibrate at is so important
- 49:30and really does dictate the quality of your life.
- 49:33But for people who feel stuck, like they can't figure out how
- 49:38to shift their state, how do you recommend, like through your
- 49:42process and your journey that people can start to actually
- 49:46shift their state from instead of 10% in flow and 90% in the
- 49:51red zone of scarcity and lack and fear to actually shift over
- 49:56here? Yeah.
- 49:57I mean, that's that's the. Work I do is, is through
- 50:01sessions, through group work, you know, through things that we
- 50:03teach. We take people out of lack and
- 50:05into abundance. And it is amazing because most
- 50:08people are living over there with maybe a moment of joy,
- 50:12right? And now clients are living over
- 50:14here with maybe a moment of frustration because something
- 50:17happened to them. Now they have the tools 'cause
- 50:20there's just so many tools, right?
- 50:22And that's, I mean, it's just a blessing that we have that right
- 50:25now because our, our mom's generation didn't have that nor
- 50:29probably would they have used it, you know, just they weren't
- 50:31open to it. Or maybe they just, you know,
- 50:34thought it was scary or whatever.
- 50:35But it's energy. And when we feel good, we're in
- 50:39the flow. When we feel good, we're in
- 50:42abundance. So keep feeling good.
- 50:44Keep focusing on the things that you love and the things that
- 50:47wow, what else would be possible and the things that would be fun
- 50:50to experience and, you know, the kind of conversations you want
- 50:54to have and all, all these different, you know, high
- 50:57vibing, feel good. You know, we cannot not think.
- 51:01Yeah, we cannot not think. So if I'm going to think a
- 51:04thought shouldn't I wouldn't, I don't.
- 51:07I want to think a thought that's going to be creative and
- 51:10expansive rather than a thought that's going to be destructive
- 51:13or worrisome or brings me into fear, lack or drama or, you
- 51:18know, so it's we're one thought away from any different state of
- 51:24being on the piano keyboard, right?
- 51:27We're one thought away from that thought of joy and then think of
- 51:31thinking that thought of joy. We picture, right?
- 51:34We picture joy. We, we then can start to feel it
- 51:36and resonate with it. So it's more of a practice of
- 51:39understanding what am I thinking about right now?
- 51:42Because if I'm feeling bad, am I thinking poor me?
- 51:46Am I thinking, oh, nothing's ever going to work out for me?
- 51:48Am I right that? Because that's because you're in
- 51:51a place of thinking that whatever condition, whatever
- 51:54circumstance, whatever's going on, it's bigger than you and you
- 51:58feel smaller than it because you feel like you've got to do this
- 52:02alone. There's no way out.
- 52:03There's no other support, you know?
- 52:05And so when you come in back into that compassion, awareness,
- 52:08and come back into the awareness of God as you know it, right?
- 52:13Whether you call it substance, infinite sores, what's breathing
- 52:18us is life, right? Our life force wants more
- 52:22through us. Our life force that's
- 52:24individually flowing through you and me has a unique experience
- 52:28through you than it will through me or anybody else.
- 52:31So that's the that's the fun of it.
- 52:33It's like when you get tuned in and your goal is to feel good
- 52:38and you do whatever you need to do, whether it's 15 minutes of
- 52:41meditation here or breath work here, some affirmations here,
- 52:44journaling work, or some deeper, you know, dive work into
- 52:49imprints 'cause we didn't even talk about that.
- 52:51But what are imprints? Imprints are those.
- 52:54Moments in life where you're going along and then it's like a
- 52:57bushwhack. You weren't expecting something
- 52:59and someone says something or does something, you know?
- 53:03And it's a moment in our lives where we made a decision and it
- 53:07may not have been the the best informative or empowering
- 53:10decision. So maybe someone ignored us and
- 53:13we went, oh, I guess I'm not important, right?
- 53:16We don't even realize those decisions that we make.
- 53:19I mean, dad could come home from work and you're like daddy,
- 53:22daddy. And he's like, you know, I'll
- 53:23flustered with something from work that had nothing to do with
- 53:26the kids. But now the little girl's like,
- 53:29damn, he just he's not paying attention to me.
- 53:31I'm not special, I'm not enough. He doesn't love me, right?
- 53:36I remember I have a quick story around 2020, I, my two boys
- 53:40were, you know, obviously in home school as most kids were.
- 53:44And my older son, Alex, I was tucking him into bed and he
- 53:49goes, Dad doesn't love me as much as you do.
- 53:52And I said, well, where do you get that from?
- 53:54That's a, that's an interesting thought, right?
- 53:57And he goes because he's hard on me when he's doing my school
- 54:00work. And I said, well, yeah, 'cause
- 54:02he wants the best for you and he wants you to focus.
- 54:04And, you know, he's not like yelling at him or anything, you
- 54:07know? And but he is like, come on,
- 54:08Alex, let's focus, Let's do this, right?
- 54:10You don't do that to me. And I said, yeah, 'cause I've
- 54:12been working with clients, right?
- 54:14Dad's the kind of school teacher.
- 54:15I'm working with clients. But I'm like, you can't tell
- 54:18yourself that Dad doesn't love you as much as mom because
- 54:22that's not true. You know?
- 54:24That's not true. He shows you his love this way
- 54:26and that way. And then he was like, yeah, you
- 54:28know what? You're right.
- 54:29So sometimes just challenging a thought that we've had before
- 54:34and asking ourselves, Byron Katie's work, is this true?
- 54:37Right. Is is this actually a fact?
- 54:40Because many times we have a very limited view of what
- 54:44happened. You know, you could, you could
- 54:46have the same experience and two people could tell a different
- 54:48story or how they landed or how they experienced it.
- 54:52So our imprints are it's like those moments in life where I'm
- 54:57going to get energetic and get woo wee, woo woo wish in a
- 55:00minute. We're going along.
- 55:03We're in a good state where heart is open.
- 55:05But like every other animal on the planet that has that ability
- 55:09to fight flight, freeze, right turtle, you scare it goes in
- 55:13right. The snake curls up right Us, we
- 55:17we close our heart down. We close our energy field down
- 55:20when we feel threatened, when we don't feel safe, when we're
- 55:23upset, you know, So whenever we go into lack, we're closing down
- 55:27around energy. And what we talked about in the
- 55:30beginning, it cannot be created or destroyed.
- 55:33It it doesn't just stop. So it creates an imprint, say
- 55:38that, you know, he doesn't love me and that creates an energetic
- 55:42imprint. Now that energy is swirling and
- 55:44swirling and it's creating a vortex.
- 55:46And what is it doing? It's drawing more evidence of
- 55:49Daddy doesn't love me or Daddy. You know, Daddy doesn't love me
- 55:52more as much as you do or men can't be trusted or women are
- 55:58backstabbers or, you know, money is hard to come by or, you know,
- 56:02all of the the limiting beliefs that most people run around
- 56:06with. And like you were saying, don't
- 56:09even question it. You know, it's like I'm living
- 56:12through this matrix, this, this blueprint, which most of I
- 56:16didn't choose. So it's like, you know, I got to
- 56:20a place where it's like my mom and dad believe that that's
- 56:23coming from lack. I have a choice.
- 56:26My one of my big aha moments. I'm Italian.
- 56:29I don't know if you could tell because I'm using my hands a
- 56:31lot, but what was always an excuse in my family when my dad
- 56:35would have these temperamental outbursts is, well, he's
- 56:38Italian, right? And so I also would get angry
- 56:43and have these like, you know, temperamental outbursts, like
- 56:45you say, when I was in college. And I would just always tell
- 56:48myself, like, I can't help him Italian.
- 56:51So there it, it's, I'm powerless to change it because I'm
- 56:54Italian. Well, as I was going through my,
- 56:57you know, awakening and, and growth and learning about
- 57:00meditation and doing energy work and deepening and all that, I
- 57:04had a realization. My best friend is 100% Italian.
- 57:08She's out of temper. My grandfather and my
- 57:11grandmother, they were Italian and they didn't have a temper.
- 57:14It was like, wait a minute, there are other Italian people
- 57:17that don't act like that. Yeah, you know, it's light.
- 57:21Bulb, right? It's like Ding, wait.
- 57:23That means. I have a.
- 57:24Choice then I can continue to act like that or I can process
- 57:28my anger and my emotions and become emotionally intelligent
- 57:32because emotional intelligence is about being aware you're
- 57:34having an emotion and then what the heck do I do with it right?
- 57:38How do I, how do I regulate this thing?
- 57:40Kind of like our, our, our nervous system.
- 57:43So back to imprints. So we got this, you know, this
- 57:46spiraling energy coming in and now it's attracting, right?
- 57:50But the good thing is that when you go to the imprint and you
- 57:54just dissolve the energy by working with energy, you can
- 57:57actually make a new decision, create a new belief, think a new
- 58:01thought right over and over and over again.
- 58:04And that dissolves that imprint and it releases the imprint.
- 58:07So that energy releases and it's no longer, you know, think of it
- 58:11of as like, you know, a pipe, you know, like and and stuff
- 58:14gets stuck in the pipe. It's like that's that
- 58:17roto-rooter, you know, that pipe, that pipe is now clear.
- 58:21So the clearer we are from our pain body and those imprints,
- 58:26the more energy we have to focus on the pleasures and what
- 58:31delights us and our connection and alignment and the momentum
- 58:35that we want to take. Yeah, and from all.
- 58:38Of the interviews that I do with amazingly incredible CE OS and
- 58:43founders and leaders and experts in so many different fields, a
- 58:46lot of us, myself definitely included, have a deeply rooted
- 58:50imprint of I am not enough. Most people do.
- 58:55How? Do we fix that?
- 58:57Imprint, you know, we can all make up like my stories, I
- 59:00wasn't wanted I was on the birth control baby.
- 59:02My dad didn't want me and my parents did like all these
- 59:05things, right? I've done a lot of work to
- 59:07reship that. But for people who maybe don't
- 59:09even know that they're still living on that imprint and
- 59:12recreating that story because I recreated that story in my life
- 59:16over and over and over again until I was able to finally
- 59:19understand, like my parents did the best they could.
- 59:22I would have been terrified too. And I don't need to find my love
- 59:26through somebody else's approval of me or desire to have me or
- 59:30whatever. Like it's from inside of me and
- 59:32from my creator. So what is like a an easy step
- 59:37because so many people that are incredible people are still have
- 59:42this deep rooted thing that's driving them of I am not enough.
- 59:47And I don't know if it's that the fact that they just it's
- 59:51just driving them or even that they are holding on to it
- 59:54because they like that it's driving them to continue.
- 59:57It's not only, it is that it's. All of that plus it's
- 1:00:01generational because let me ask you a question.
- 1:00:03How can parents that don't feel that they are enough teach a
- 1:00:08child to be enough, right? And how can those, you know,
- 1:00:11generations before them and you know, so it's ancestral.
- 1:00:15It's it's, it's, I mean, it's in our our whole entire media.
- 1:00:20You know, it's like if you don't have this, you're not enough,
- 1:00:23right? Advertising it.
- 1:00:24It's all in the culture of you're not enough, you're not
- 1:00:27enough, more you need to. Be more, look better, make more
- 1:00:30money. Yeah, all the things.
- 1:00:31All the things. Unless you have a Birkin bag.
- 1:00:33Unless. You, you know, it's like all the
- 1:00:35things that may, unless you would drive this kind of car,
- 1:00:37then you're not enough. And most people are and, and
- 1:00:41they've been around enough. And that's where I am so
- 1:00:43grateful that I got this in my early 20s when I had a lot of
- 1:00:47success. And I was like, wait, I thought
- 1:00:50all this was supposed to make me happy.
- 1:00:52And then again, when I strived and I I had my one book and I
- 1:00:56hit the New York Times, right. It was like such a such a day,
- 1:01:00such a moment. And then after that was like,
- 1:01:03oh, is it? I thought a parade was going to.
- 1:01:05Go through my house or something.
- 1:01:07I mean, I was like, life didn't change over, like what happened,
- 1:01:11right? So it's that feeling of this
- 1:01:13thing that I am thinking will make me enough once I do it,
- 1:01:18once I earn it, once I get it. If I am coming from not enough,
- 1:01:23that thing can't fill the hole. That's what goes wrong in most
- 1:01:27relationships. Oh, I finally found the one.
- 1:01:29And then there's a romantic period and all that.
- 1:01:32But then the person becomes human and doesn't fill fill them
- 1:01:36up all the time like they used to or, you know, has the
- 1:01:39attention because now they got to focus on work or something
- 1:01:41else. Right now.
- 1:01:42You're not the 100% object of their attention, Jlo, you know,
- 1:01:47So like that and a thing this, this person has other interests
- 1:01:50in in life, right? And so then the fantasy like
- 1:01:53drops and it's like, oh, 'cause I'm looking at this man, this
- 1:01:58person and it could be any relationship, any former
- 1:02:01relationship. I'm looking at this person to
- 1:02:03fill me up and to make me OK. And if they don't, then I'm
- 1:02:08again, they're it's their fault. They're they're not enough,
- 1:02:11right? Because it's, you cannot project
- 1:02:13a sense of satisfaction to another if you're feeling
- 1:02:18dissatisfied inside. And so the I'm not enough it
- 1:02:23let's just say it's for every human being has that.
- 1:02:25I mean, I've been coaching for over 25 years and every single
- 1:02:29person has that as a core thing. But when you start to not just
- 1:02:34go I'm enough, I'm enough, I'm enough, you know, like not just
- 1:02:37do a mental game of, of affirmations.
- 1:02:40When you start to actually contemplate what if I am enough?
- 1:02:46Just what if I? Am what if?
- 1:02:48I'm already 'cause that's our divine design.
- 1:02:51I I channel the Council of Light.
- 1:02:53Our divine design, as they came through, said is from a soul to
- 1:02:57a human perspective is wholeness, completeness and
- 1:03:00Wellness. That's why appearances of
- 1:03:03disease are or aches or pains are just appearances.
- 1:03:06The truth of who you are is well, the truth of who you are.
- 1:03:10In this whole experience of life, there's a wholeness.
- 1:03:14We're all pieces of the same whole puzzle, nothing missing.
- 1:03:18So we're whole, we're complete, we're well, abundance, success,
- 1:03:24every, every action, everything is about succeeding and it's
- 1:03:29about love and support. So if that's our natural divine
- 1:03:32design, our source within us, outside of us, the substance,
- 1:03:37you know, you call it God, goddess, all that is that source
- 1:03:41is infinite. So to that source, what if I'm
- 1:03:47enough? What would that feel like if I
- 1:03:51really felt like I was enough? How would I think differently?
- 1:03:56How would I behave different? How would I act differently if I
- 1:03:59really felt like I am fully enough in this moment as I am?
- 1:04:04Because you are. If you really let yourself feel
- 1:04:07that, like how, how does that feel in the body?
- 1:04:11How do you experience that? Because that's, that's a
- 1:04:15different state, right? That's getting into I, I am
- 1:04:18enough, But it's not just a, a mental thing.
- 1:04:21It's like what would I feel like if I really was enough?
- 1:04:25And the truth is that the divine I am more than enough.
- 1:04:31Sometimes I'm too much. Right.
- 1:04:32It's like. Right.
- 1:04:34It's like. I saw a T-shirt.
- 1:04:35The other. Day that said if I'm too much,
- 1:04:37go find less. I was like, yes, I love that.
- 1:04:40But that feeling of I, I'm OK because the I'm OK.
- 1:04:46That's the second bucket. The I'm not enough is in the
- 1:04:491st. And those thoughts, if I'm not
- 1:04:51enough, then create, you know, it's like we said the words, the
- 1:04:56thoughts, the pictures. If I'm saying I'm not enough,
- 1:04:59the images that I have in my mind, I'm going to stumble and
- 1:05:03fall and you know, whatever it is, I'm going to feel badly.
- 1:05:08But when I change that. Around say I.
- 1:05:10Am enough and feel my way into what if I'm I'm exactly the way
- 1:05:15I need to be? I am enough.
- 1:05:17What if I just let that state, that energetic state, you know,
- 1:05:21ground through me. Then it's like feel your way
- 1:05:25through that. Let that be your new starting
- 1:05:27point for what you think about and how you feel and how you
- 1:05:29actually relate to others. You know, because when someone
- 1:05:33doesn't feel that they're enough in that LAX state, that's where
- 1:05:36competition, you know, being sitting with a beautiful,
- 1:05:40another beautiful woman and being empowered and not feeling
- 1:05:44less than, not feeling like, oh, I'm better than her.
- 1:05:46I'm less than. But to not be in female
- 1:05:49competition, but to be in honor and of someone else's grace and
- 1:05:53beauty and success and be able to mirror that back and forth.
- 1:05:56That does not come from lack Competition comes from a
- 1:06:01competition, not from like a, hey, let's all play soccer and
- 1:06:04do a World Cup kind of competition, you know, like a
- 1:06:06sports competition. But a am I enough based on oh,
- 1:06:11her ring is bigger than mine. Oh, I guess I'm not enough.
- 1:06:14Oh, I'm thinner than she is. I guess I'm enough.
- 1:06:16Like that checklist of and competition of.
- 1:06:21What are we comparing, Right, right.
- 1:06:23Because the divine flows through me equally as it flows through
- 1:06:29you, and the divine is you giving you ideas and desires.
- 1:06:32That's my other book, The desire Factor, all the different steps
- 1:06:35to how energy sets up to manifest.
- 1:06:38But you have this energy that comes through you, and that
- 1:06:42substance that thinks that is conscious gives you desires that
- 1:06:47it does not give me, right? It knows its audience.
- 1:06:51Like, I always teased that when Marianne Williamson was running
- 1:06:54for president, it's like, you know, she accepted that desire
- 1:06:57and ran with it. If I would have gotten that
- 1:06:59implanted in me, I'd be a oh, hell no, right?
- 1:07:02It's like it knows its audience. It knows if you're going to be
- 1:07:07a, a cooperative component in it and say, yes, I love that,
- 1:07:11right. But if you're feeling like
- 1:07:13you're not enough, your mind is going to tell you all the
- 1:07:15reasons you are. Yeah.
- 1:07:19That's really. Really good, and I think about
- 1:07:20that too. Because I know, you know, now,
- 1:07:23now sometimes I get hard on myself because I'm so like, I'm
- 1:07:27so in the Green Zone in flow state, anything that doesn't
- 1:07:30align, I cut that out of my life so, so fast.
- 1:07:34And so now I worry, well, what if I can't actually hold a?
- 1:07:39Commitment to somebody long. Term like I'm currently single
- 1:07:42and this occupies a decent amount of my mind if I'm not
- 1:07:47working, which is very little but still enough to make me
- 1:07:50notice. But it occupies my mind of well,
- 1:07:54I say I want to experience all the things I can out of life.
- 1:07:56I want to squeeze all the juice, have all the experiences.
- 1:07:59It's such a miracle. It's such a gift.
- 1:08:00And I love life so much now. But then I'm like, Oh, no,
- 1:08:04marriage, kids, not for me, right?
- 1:08:07But it's also like, isn't that part of life?
- 1:08:09Isn't that part of life's experiences, creation and
- 1:08:12partnership and love and all these things?
- 1:08:14And so I want to also practice what I preach of flow state and
- 1:08:17abundance and connection and alignment.
- 1:08:20But then I don't want to be. So I want to have an open heart.
- 1:08:23And I, I feel like I do now I have an open heart and but I'm
- 1:08:27also aware that I still probably have some subconscious things
- 1:08:31because my parents didn't have a great marriage and my siblings,
- 1:08:34it was, it was not a fun thing. So I, I probably still relate
- 1:08:39that to something negative and, and probably recreating out of
- 1:08:42my life. And that's probably why I have
- 1:08:43this Moat of I built this and nobody can take it from me and
- 1:08:47I'm safe and I'm protected and I don't need no man and all these
- 1:08:50things. But.
- 1:08:53And now I'm going down a a rabbit hole here, but I I get
- 1:08:56where you're going. Yeah, so.
- 1:08:57How do you balance that with? Because I have pretty much
- 1:09:02mastered flow state. But with that I recognize a lot
- 1:09:08of people haven't. And I'm immediately like
- 1:09:12repulsed by not in a judgmental way, but just they're not in my
- 1:09:16circle. If they are a negative fancy,
- 1:09:19oh, I get it. And so I feel like.
- 1:09:21For. From a leadership perspective
- 1:09:24and in, in life, like whether you know, it's in a dating
- 1:09:28situation or leading A-Team at your company, what is the
- 1:09:32boundary and balance of this person is not in flow state
- 1:09:39frequently more, you know, more often than they are, but I've
- 1:09:44made a commitment to this person.
- 1:09:46Where is that boundary of when you know, to cut people out of
- 1:09:49your life, whether it's a family member, right, Because I like, I
- 1:09:52still have family members that are never going to be like me
- 1:09:56and they're never going to be this vibrant, bubbly, happy
- 1:10:00person. There's like there's this
- 1:10:01tension in them and it's going to be there and and I have to
- 1:10:04accept that or, or maybe somebody that's important in my
- 1:10:07company that has like a little bit of the just the energy is,
- 1:10:10is off. When do you make that decision
- 1:10:13of I'm going to actually remove this person from my life
- 1:10:16completely versus I'm going to allow this with boundaries like
- 1:10:22where is that healthy? And it's it's a progression.
- 1:10:25It's not a, just a. One and done kind of thing
- 1:10:26because boundaries are starting from you, like all relationships
- 1:10:30begin inside of you and how you feel and hold a relationship,
- 1:10:34what you expect will be. Yeah.
- 1:10:37So when you're expecting to have difficulty in a, you know,
- 1:10:41relationship with a man and that a man's going to fail before
- 1:10:44even before you even met him, right, then that's going to be
- 1:10:48what happens. You're going to end up being
- 1:10:49disappointed. And there is a teaching of
- 1:10:53boundaries, right. And teaching.
- 1:10:55We teach people how my my teacher, Karen Lamarck Wilson
- 1:10:58years ago said that the first rule of relationships is we
- 1:11:01teach people how to treat us by how we treat ourselves in their
- 1:11:05presence. And it's so true.
- 1:11:08And then the second rule of relationships is that everything
- 1:11:10is a reflection back to you, right?
- 1:11:13So in a relationship, whether it's a work relationship or
- 1:11:17personal relationships, we do teach people how to treat us.
- 1:11:21And we do teach like my husband when I first met him, he'll be
- 1:11:2420 years next month, we'll be together.
- 1:11:27Thanks. I mean, he had that I want to
- 1:11:29grow mentality, right? That was important to me.
- 1:11:32That was on my list. You know, I wanted him to at
- 1:11:34least have a growth mentality in law of attraction, at least
- 1:11:38being to working out. And, you know, there was a long
- 1:11:41thing, a lot of stuff on the scroll, the list that I had.
- 1:11:44But that was one thing for me is that he would be willing to
- 1:11:47continue to grow. And so he's not the same man he
- 1:11:51is today that he was 20 years ago.
- 1:11:53He had a lot of stuff that he thought he was taught that he
- 1:11:56was the king, he was the Prince. So he was like, I got nothing
- 1:12:00wrong with me. I'm perfect, you know, and I
- 1:12:03mean, like he told me one time, he goes, he goes, I'm so easy to
- 1:12:07love and I go, no, you're actually not, you know, and he
- 1:12:10was like, what? You know, but he's learned that
- 1:12:14he has his own limitations too, and that those limitations have
- 1:12:17affected me and our relationship.
- 1:12:19And yet he's willing to grow. But he learned that over time,
- 1:12:23right? So to focus on something that
- 1:12:26not, isn't here yet as a manifestation that you someday
- 1:12:29desire, but you have split energy on.
- 1:12:33That's what's going on. So you, you want to take the
- 1:12:35most out of life. That may or may not mean for you
- 1:12:39getting married and having kids, right?
- 1:12:41Like what I, the other book I brought you is the art of having
- 1:12:44it all. And it's like, what's your it
- 1:12:46and what's your all? Because we're so you know, like
- 1:12:49you have to get married to have kids.
- 1:12:50Do you really my my best friend that I've done since 7th grade.
- 1:12:53She's always known since we were a young kid.
- 1:12:56She never wanted to get married, never wanted to have kids.
- 1:12:58And she's been with the same man for 35 years.
- 1:13:01They have a beautiful relationship, they get to
- 1:13:03travel. She's a meaningful life.
- 1:13:05She's so content. She's loving life.
- 1:13:08It doesn't include kids and and the ring, you know, So it's,
- 1:13:12it's all what you feel guided right by how you feel in the
- 1:13:17moment. And that's the beautiful part,
- 1:13:18beautiful part of life. It's like in this moment, what
- 1:13:21lights me up, I get to follow that.
- 1:13:24I keep following the pleasures because most people are let me
- 1:13:27just keep avoiding the pains because they're in that survival
- 1:13:30consciousness. When you're in creator
- 1:13:32consciousness, when you understand, apply these laws,
- 1:13:36right? And it's in the application.
- 1:13:38It's not just, you know, I know, oh, yeah, I know of them.
- 1:13:41But are you applying them, right.
- 1:13:43It's in the application where change and transformation
- 1:13:45happens. And when it does, I know.
- 1:13:51Right. It's like there's.
- 1:13:52No, I just. There's no other way to live.
- 1:13:56I know. I I my.
- 1:13:58My, one of my best friends and clients, he, we send voice
- 1:14:04messages to each other on like WhatsApp, you know, just
- 1:14:06whatever throughout the day or whenever we, we think of each
- 1:14:09other. And so I remember when I first
- 1:14:12met him, he was a keynote speaker and I was launching a
- 1:14:14debt fund and I, that's how we became friends.
- 1:14:17But I sent him a voice note and I was like, I want it all.
- 1:14:20And he like sent one back. He's like, I want it all.
- 1:14:23I was like, I will not settle for mediocrity.
- 1:14:25Like we can have it all. And and then that's what William
- 1:14:29had taught me. He goes, but most people can't
- 1:14:31figure out what they even want. It's like, what is it and what
- 1:14:35is all right? And that looks different to
- 1:14:37everyone. So I love that you're talking
- 1:14:38about these things because some people, I had a a friend of mine
- 1:14:43tell me that he feels resistance, like he feels bad
- 1:14:47after every time we hang out. And yet we're good, we're good
- 1:14:52friends. Like this is purely, you know,
- 1:14:54friendship, No romantic thing going on.
- 1:14:57But we just know each other through Mastermind.
- 1:14:58So we see each other here and there.
- 1:15:00And he's like, yeah, I just have recognized that I feel this
- 1:15:03resistance or this like negativity after I hang out with
- 1:15:08you. And I'm trying to figure out
- 1:15:08what it is and where it comes from.
- 1:15:10Because usually that's something in ourselves, right?
- 1:15:13It's a reflection of something we either desire that we lack in
- 1:15:17ourselves or something that we have that we don't want in
- 1:15:19ourselves, ourselves. And so we were kind of diving
- 1:15:22into this and I was like, I kind of feel that too.
- 1:15:23Like I feel the same kind of resistant energy.
- 1:15:25I love you. I think you're amazing.
- 1:15:27And we have, we're good friends and we're aligned on a lot of
- 1:15:29values, But I also feel a little bit of resistance around you.
- 1:15:33And he was kind of talking about, well, you know, I, I
- 1:15:38think it comes from some of it comes from the fact that you are
- 1:15:43showing up in your life in ways that I don't give my permission
- 1:15:47myself permission to. It's that quote from Marianne
- 1:15:50Williamson. You know, it's like, who am I to
- 1:15:54be powerful and, you know, beautiful?
- 1:15:57It's, I wish I could get the first line of it, but it's a
- 1:16:02return to love. Like our deepest fear.
- 1:16:06Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
- 1:16:08Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
- 1:16:12It is our light that most frightens people, not our
- 1:16:16darkness. Who 'cause we think to
- 1:16:18ourselves, who am I to be beautiful, smart, intelligent,
- 1:16:22right? Who you?
- 1:16:23Who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
- 1:16:26You're playing small does not serve the world right?
- 1:16:30You, when you are shining your own light.
- 1:16:32I'm going off here but you and you're shining your own light.
- 1:16:35You're giving people unconsciously permission to
- 1:16:38shine theirs. So a lot of times when you're
- 1:16:40shining bright at my Lisa Nichols says this, you know I'm
- 1:16:44going to shine bright and if I'm shining too bright, here's some
- 1:16:47sunglasses. Yeah, right.
- 1:16:49It's like because we're sometimes too bright for others
- 1:16:53and, and sometimes we can in a negative space, we can trigger
- 1:16:58something in someone, you know, not because we're meaning to do
- 1:17:01that, but because you're you might be going for something and
- 1:17:04he's like, that's, that's higher than I'm willing to go.
- 1:17:07That triggers me where I'm not feeling safe.
- 1:17:10That goes, the triggers come from that fight flight, freeze,
- 1:17:13that survival consciousness. So once you know that, it's like
- 1:17:17I'm being triggered here. This is happening now you know
- 1:17:20yourself better. And it's like, OK, wait, now I
- 1:17:22can open up the back of the head and neck, let that energy
- 1:17:25release so that I can think about really what I do want,
- 1:17:28right? You, you asked the question
- 1:17:30earlier about how do you know? What do you do?
- 1:17:33And then how do you know when it's time?
- 1:17:34Well, I didn't get to answer the fullness of that, right?
- 1:17:37No, no, I'm, I just want to make sure I go back to it.
- 1:17:40You know, like when you're hanging out with someone and
- 1:17:42like you 2 identified, you know, I really like you, I love you,
- 1:17:45but there's something that's, you know, I'm I'm willing to do
- 1:17:48my work. I'm willing to do my work 'cause
- 1:17:50it's worth the relationship, right?
- 1:17:52If you have to work every time you see someone and it's like a
- 1:17:56lot of work you want might want to re evaluate because what
- 1:18:00happens to you. Like I, after my dad passed two
- 1:18:04years ago, I would call my mom every day and I was clear my
- 1:18:07mom's a very, she did her best but very negative person and can
- 1:18:12never see the side of abundance for anything.
- 1:18:14It's, it's just not enough everything.
- 1:18:16And she's the reason the, my, my first book that brought me into
- 1:18:20this whole thing is called perfect pictures.
- 1:18:22And if she would go into a room and look exactly at the thing
- 1:18:24that needs to be fixed and be like, that doesn't fit here, you
- 1:18:27know, And it's like that's her focus and she can't focus on
- 1:18:30anything else. She can't focus on anything else
- 1:18:32other than that needs to be fixed.
- 1:18:34And so that's the perspective that she comes from, right?
- 1:18:37And so with that perspective, it's critical.
- 1:18:39It's Judge Bentle. It's, you know, oh, your hair is
- 1:18:42real long, you know, and that kind of thing.
- 1:18:45So I was calling her every day after my dad passed because I
- 1:18:49want to make sure she was OK and connecting with her and
- 1:18:51everything. And my husband just one day was
- 1:18:54about about a month after he goes.
- 1:18:56I'm finding you're a bit negative.
- 1:18:58I was like, what me and he goes, did you just talk to your mom?
- 1:19:04And I said, yeah. And he goes, every time you talk
- 1:19:07to your mom, you become like you're happy before.
- 1:19:10So I started paying attention to it because our, you know, our
- 1:19:14friends, our husbands, our, you know, can be our reflection
- 1:19:18sometimes. And when we have blinders on.
- 1:19:21And so I started paying attention to it, and it was
- 1:19:23true. So I had to start limiting, not
- 1:19:26calling her every day because when I would talk to her, it was
- 1:19:29like my energy, right? Even though I would sit in
- 1:19:32compassion, I would do all the tools, I would do all the stuff.
- 1:19:36It was a lot of work to have to call her to be in that space and
- 1:19:40then to clear my energy afterwards.
- 1:19:43So it became just more infrequent.
- 1:19:46When I would call her, she's fine.
- 1:19:47She has what she needs, right? But I started binding my center
- 1:19:51more, right? Right.
- 1:19:53And so it's those moments when I love her.
- 1:19:55I will provide for her, I will do anything for her, but I
- 1:19:59cannot spend a lot of time with her if I want to continue to
- 1:20:03have my vibration high. Yeah, I love that you said that
- 1:20:07because I think that's the perfect.
- 1:20:08Happy medium because I when I don't know if you know the
- 1:20:11author, Doctor Ben Hardy, but he writes on entrepreneurship and
- 1:20:15scaling companies and he's a friend of mine.
- 1:20:17And I was talking to him and I was like, I'm going to build a
- 1:20:19billion dollar organization and I'm doing it from the right
- 1:20:22place now. Like I've healed all the trauma.
- 1:20:24I'm ready to go. Like it's all from love and
- 1:20:26abundance and passion. And if I don't, it's not about
- 1:20:28lack, like it's all upside and impact.
- 1:20:31And if I don't get there, that's fine.
- 1:20:33It's about who I become on the journey and all that.
- 1:20:35And he's like, well, that's great.
- 1:20:37I love that. So great to hear, you know,
- 1:20:38how's your relationship with your parents?
- 1:20:40And I was like, well, my mom and I are really good.
- 1:20:42We've done a lot of work together.
- 1:20:44And this was when I was going through a lot of transformation
- 1:20:46and energy work and flow and all, all of that.
- 1:20:50And he's like, well, what about your dad?
- 1:20:51And I was like, well, I've forgiven my dad.
- 1:20:53I haven't talked to him in 10 years though.
- 1:20:55He's like, well, if you feel because I told him I was like,
- 1:20:58he doesn't put me in flow state. I don't put him in flow state.
- 1:21:00So I love him, but we don't, you know, separate lives, separate
- 1:21:05people, separate things. I don't need to have a
- 1:21:07relationship with him. He's like, well, I want to
- 1:21:09challenge you on that. He goes if you feel ready and it
- 1:21:12seems like you do, you are from our conversation.
- 1:21:16I think you should call him and take him out to dinner and have
- 1:21:19like a real conversation with him because I had never done
- 1:21:22that. It was the last time I talked to
- 1:21:24him. It was a finger to his face and
- 1:21:27F you and I was it right And and so I it was interesting because
- 1:21:33he goes but you and this is what he said that stuck with me.
- 1:21:36He said just no. When you call him, he will not
- 1:21:40have changed, but you have, and I remember.
- 1:21:45When I would even. Think about my father, my tight,
- 1:21:49my blood would boy, I'd get tight.
- 1:21:50I shut down. Same thing, right?
- 1:21:52You talk to him and not that I like, I love him.
- 1:21:56I've done a lot of forgiveness work, but still, even the
- 1:21:58thought of him would make my body physically I'll react.
- 1:22:03And so this time when I when I called him and it was my
- 1:22:06birthday week of was it It was last year, my birthday week of
- 1:22:09last year, he picked up the phone and hello.
- 1:22:12And he has a flip phone, pay as you go type flip phone.
- 1:22:15So he doesn't even have contacts in it, I don't think.
- 1:22:17But and I smiled. It was the first time that I
- 1:22:19heard his voice and called him that my body did not physically
- 1:22:23react. And I heard Ben Hardy telling me
- 1:22:26just no, he will not have changed.
- 1:22:28But you have. And I was able to finally just
- 1:22:32fully accept who he is and understand and control my state,
- 1:22:37my energy and understand like nobody gets to choose how I
- 1:22:40feel. That's my power.
- 1:22:42And I was able to have an amazing meal with him.
- 1:22:45He nothing changed about him, same person, but I had was
- 1:22:49changed. And that's what I realized the
- 1:22:50power of we create our reality because there are certain
- 1:22:55circumstances that we can't change.
- 1:22:57We have no control over and we never will.
- 1:23:00But. We can choose how we show up in
- 1:23:02the world and how we feel. And that is everything.
- 1:23:05And now I have a relationship with my dad and they're still
- 1:23:07boundaries, right? Because it takes work.
- 1:23:09I love that you said that. Like, it takes work and
- 1:23:11awareness and consciousness for me to be around him.
- 1:23:14But I can maintain my peak state.
- 1:23:16I can enjoy it. But if I was doing it too long,
- 1:23:19like it would really be a lot of work and and I would take
- 1:23:22something home with it and it's not worth it, right?
- 1:23:24It's like, OK, at that point it's not.
- 1:23:25Worth it, but I'm not willing to lower who I am, limit who I am,
- 1:23:30you know, to be with someone, to have to, you know, conform to
- 1:23:34who they are or their vibration, right?
- 1:23:36I still get to be me, I guess, to live that life and have life
- 1:23:40live through me at the vibration I choose.
- 1:23:43And it's like we said your words, you choose your words,
- 1:23:46your thoughts, your perspectives, your emotions.
- 1:23:49When I got that one, wait a minute.
- 1:23:52I can choose to be happy. I could choose to feel joy
- 1:23:55instead. I could choose to look at this
- 1:23:57differently so that I'm not angry about it.
- 1:24:00Life is different. Yeah, it's.
- 1:24:02So powerful it is. That's where it comes down to
- 1:24:06embracing the storms and where you're at in life and and having
- 1:24:09that deep gratitude and the the reset protocols.
- 1:24:15I want to ask you because I have reset protocols for my life,
- 1:24:19things that put me in the Green Zone, certain music, certain
- 1:24:21food, sunshine, other earth scripture people, certain
- 1:24:25people, friends, activities. And so when I recognize I've
- 1:24:28been knocked out of flow, I can do my reset protocol brilliant
- 1:24:32and get back. That's so brilliant.
- 1:24:34I got to point. That out because most people
- 1:24:37they try to look for something and they don't have something
- 1:24:39ready and that's where we're all going to get out of state,
- 1:24:43right? We're all going to have some
- 1:24:45kind of contrast, but pulling on something that you know, will
- 1:24:48raise your vibration or get you out of it.
- 1:24:50That's brilliant, you know, and having a list of those things.
- 1:24:54I recommend that for everybody. And I, I do that too, right.
- 1:24:57I go to Pilates. That's like my, my clear
- 1:24:59everything kind of place I listen to.
- 1:25:02I have a playlist that I if it makes me shake my booty, that
- 1:25:06song goes on my playlist and I play the playlist a lot because
- 1:25:10it's just a beat and I, you know, it's my favorite songs and
- 1:25:13that sort of thing. And yes, reading good books or
- 1:25:15listening to audio books when I'm going between places of
- 1:25:19something that stimulates my mind or makes me think
- 1:25:22differently or, you know, putting on a meditation that the
- 1:25:25council's done through me, you know, that's in a library, one
- 1:25:28of my library somewhere. Or, you know, I'm all about body
- 1:25:32work and I'm all about massage. I get a massage every week.
- 1:25:36That is just something that absolutely is, you know, for me,
- 1:25:39for my body, for mental health, the whole thing.
- 1:25:42I mean, I do acupuncture, you know, these are things that I,
- 1:25:45I, I get Rolfing done every two weeks.
- 1:25:48I mean, these are things that are body work stuff just to
- 1:25:50maintain, you know, my body state, right?
- 1:25:54Like drinking water, right? It's like you do that because
- 1:25:57you don't want to get dehydrated.
- 1:25:58It's like it's a part of our natural, but so is our energy
- 1:26:01master. And what you're saying it's like
- 1:26:03have that breath work, whether it's like what you were talking
- 1:26:06about, there's box breath. You breathe in for you, hold for
- 1:26:09you, breathe out for you, hold for right.
- 1:26:11You breathe in and it's a box and in just a simple like
- 1:26:15following a box with your breath, it calms your state.
- 1:26:18I'm you. You could literally like pull on
- 1:26:21your ear and that releases energy from your, your nervous
- 1:26:27system just by pulling on your ear and let like there's so many
- 1:26:30different tapping, You know, there's so many different
- 1:26:32modalities that if you're having something, it's like, even
- 1:26:36though I'm upset right now, I deeply and completely love
- 1:26:39myself. You know, there's just so many
- 1:26:41different tools and experiences that we can do.
- 1:26:43But pick something so that when you have that phone call or you
- 1:26:47read that e-mail or you read that comment or someone tells
- 1:26:50you something you didn't want to hear, that's something's going
- 1:26:53to be delayed. Or, you know, you can, you can
- 1:26:56find your way back into that flow 'cause you are the factor.
- 1:26:59Flow's always there as you, as you are now living, right.
- 1:27:03We used to think flow was for like the professional athlete or
- 1:27:07the musician that was coming up with, you know, a new song or
- 1:27:11something like that. But it's for all of us, you
- 1:27:13know, it's every, every person in this on this planet before us
- 1:27:17or after us will experience contrast, and not just once.
- 1:27:22Right. So it's just.
- 1:27:23Good to know. How do I move around this so
- 1:27:26that I don't stay in that state? Yeah.
- 1:27:29So I can get back into flow. OK.
- 1:27:31And it feels so good, and it's the thing.
- 1:27:33That it's not the dopamine hit good where you crash after, it's
- 1:27:36where you actually feel so fueled.
- 1:27:39And it's that pull motivation every day and that calling of
- 1:27:43excitement of just going to the day and fighting the battle, you
- 1:27:47know, and, and embracing the highs and the lows in the
- 1:27:50heartbeat of life and choosing to not fight it anymore.
- 1:27:55And I think that's the biggest misconception is it's not just
- 1:27:57about sunshine and rainbows, right?
- 1:27:59But you create that feeling of sunshine and rainbows even
- 1:28:03through the highs and the lows because you've I think it's
- 1:28:05ultimate mastery. It is, that's what it is.
- 1:28:07It's energy mastery. Absolutely.
- 1:28:10And it's essential. It's essential for us to brush
- 1:28:13our teeth in the morning, right, and get up and we have to go to
- 1:28:15the bathroom. It's like that essential.
- 1:28:17Like we have to eat food, we have to drink water.
- 1:28:19It's a part when you make it part of your daily life as an
- 1:28:23essential piece, which it is because everything is energy,
- 1:28:27you know, then your life changes because you're opening up to so
- 1:28:31much more than you never even thought was possible.
- 1:28:34If if you were sitting here right now and you are your
- 1:28:37future self from say 10 years ago, would you even believe your
- 1:28:4110 year old self from years ago, you know, 10 year early
- 1:28:44yourself? Would she even believe where you
- 1:28:47are, where you're sitting, what you're doing?
- 1:28:49OK, so imagine now from where you are and your consciousness
- 1:28:52and your desire. I love like you're talking about
- 1:28:55James Hardy that Ben, Sorry, Ben, that that drive to
- 1:29:02contribute that drive to do that what you were saying your coach
- 1:29:06said about leaving the Jesus mark.
- 1:29:08You know, like it's it's like, what do I want my and this
- 1:29:12experience of life coming through me?
- 1:29:14What do I want to do? Contribute.
- 1:29:16Increase. Because then you're in the flow
- 1:29:19and living for something so much bigger than.
- 1:29:20Yourself it's. I think it's so necessary and
- 1:29:24required because I don't know, it's what's exciting.
- 1:29:27They're so I don't understand how people be like, oh, I'm
- 1:29:29bored, I'm bored. There's so much to learn,
- 1:29:32There's so much to do. There's so much to create.
- 1:29:34It's like, Oh my gosh, I just wish, I wish I could live
- 1:29:36forever. They're bored because they're in
- 1:29:38Lac. Yeah.
- 1:29:39And when you're in Lac. Even if you're bored, doesn't
- 1:29:42feel good. Yeah.
- 1:29:43So you know. Trying to tune in more people.
- 1:29:46That, you know, can feel that spark and you know, let the
- 1:29:50energy, the good energy flow through them and, you know,
- 1:29:53release the imprints because a lot of our adult life is going
- 1:29:57back and healing the child I know and really.
- 1:30:02You. Know.
- 1:30:03Creating a, a healing between the two aspects so that your
- 1:30:08future and what you live next can be fully embodied and you
- 1:30:11can leave your mark if that's what you're wanting to do or
- 1:30:14just enjoy and experience and, you know, live.
- 1:30:18I mean, that's what it's about, right?
- 1:30:20To have fun and be playful and, and create and experience,
- 1:30:24right? I always say we're just a bunch
- 1:30:26of. Traumatized 6 year olds running
- 1:30:28around, but we should heal the trauma and be the fun 6 year
- 1:30:31olds run around and and playing and have a good time.
- 1:30:34That's it. All right.
- 1:30:35Well, to wrap up, I always like to do rapid fire questions.
- 1:30:38This one will also be a little bit unique because generally
- 1:30:40we're all like all business tactics, sales, marketing,
- 1:30:43operations. But all right, what line of
- 1:30:46business are you in? I'm a healer.
- 1:30:47How would you explain flow in one?
- 1:30:49Sentence. Ease.
- 1:30:51What is the best piece? Of advice you've ever received.
- 1:30:54You create your own reality if you.
- 1:30:56Could recommend one book. That everyone needs to read?
- 1:30:59What would it be the flow factor?
- 1:31:02And one more book that you didn't.
- 1:31:03Write asking. It is given by Abraham Hicks.
- 1:31:05It's a. Great book on understanding
- 1:31:07energy and universal laws. Yeah.
- 1:31:10What do you think is one thing that's.
- 1:31:12Holding most people back their lack who is your hero and.
- 1:31:16Why? You know my mom.
- 1:31:17And dad because they. Played such a beautiful role in
- 1:31:21this lifetime for me of what not to do.
- 1:31:24And because of that and they played it so well.
- 1:31:27They both need Oscars actually, when they when they were married
- 1:31:3150 years, I gave both of them medals and I said you ought be
- 1:31:35both get a medal for putting up with each other, right.
- 1:31:37It was just like that level of just.
- 1:31:40But yeah, they, you know, they gave me what they could and they
- 1:31:44gave me a lot of what not to do. My sister can lump her in there,
- 1:31:48too. The three of them I like to
- 1:31:50teasingly call. The three crazies have shown me,
- 1:31:53you know, how I want to live my life.
- 1:31:55And it's just truly learning these laws and applying them
- 1:31:59first as a seeker, you know, and then because I just love it and
- 1:32:03I'm passionate about it, became a teacher of it through, you
- 1:32:06know, books and coaching and programs and things like that.
- 1:32:09But for me, it's like I became a conscious person because they
- 1:32:14were unconscious, and so I couldn't have become who I
- 1:32:16became if they weren't who they were.
- 1:32:19Yeah, like Tony Robbins says, if you're going to blame him for
- 1:32:21all. The bad you better blame him for
- 1:32:22all the good that you became too, because it all came from
- 1:32:25that same place. And that's when true forgiveness
- 1:32:28can. Happen.
- 1:32:29Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's such a it's.
- 1:32:31So there's nothing more freeing than that when you can start to
- 1:32:34take everything that you're blaming the people for in your
- 1:32:36life that had hurt you and start to actually be the most grateful
- 1:32:40for those people and those things.
- 1:32:42Because when you have that clique that that was the reason
- 1:32:46why and you took that as fuel to become the person that you
- 1:32:49became exactly Life's greatest blessing.
- 1:32:52What's one thing people can start doing today to maintain
- 1:32:55peak state energy? Watch your words.
- 1:32:58I mean those words. What we?
- 1:32:59Say are so important. You can go to watchyourwords.com
- 1:33:02literally like it's a program that is so life changing because
- 1:33:06it's interactive with me. I'm like, say this now say this
- 1:33:09and you're feeling it within your own state.
- 1:33:12Whoa, there's a difference. I can see the subtly subtlety.
- 1:33:15And so watching our words is just essential because I mean,
- 1:33:19it even says in the Bible in the beginning there was the word of
- 1:33:22creative power. And our words are, I mean, think
- 1:33:24about what thoughts are. We cannot not think things are
- 1:33:27thoughts are creative thoughts are a series of words and
- 1:33:31beliefs are a series of thoughts have been thought over and over
- 1:33:34again until we go see there's evidence of it is true.
- 1:33:38Then it becomes a belief. And all along that we have
- 1:33:41emotions that we feel about what we're thinking, what we're
- 1:33:43feeling, what we're imagining, right?
- 1:33:46And we take action from that place and then our results show
- 1:33:50because you can take action from a place of just do it.
- 1:33:55But when you're in the fullness, right, when you're in a space of
- 1:33:58increase, when you're going to take every, everything you got
- 1:34:01and give it to what you're doing, you're in alignment, your
- 1:34:05inflow. Yeah.
- 1:34:06And if you can, leave. One message to the younger
- 1:34:08generation. What would it be?
- 1:34:10You are so powerful. You're so much powerful.
- 1:34:13Then you. Know right, It's like know your
- 1:34:17power. Just even that conversation
- 1:34:19about I'm not enough, right? Feeling the fulfillment of being
- 1:34:23enough, that will change your life.
- 1:34:25If every single person were living in abundance and knew the
- 1:34:29power that they had to choose to live in abundance, this would be
- 1:34:33an entirely different world. Imagine you walk around and
- 1:34:36people smile at each other, right?
- 1:34:38Everybody imagine everybody's happy and you Bing bong, you
- 1:34:42know, half of each other, right? Like a conversation like this,
- 1:34:45it energizes you. Just walking through the grocery
- 1:34:48store smiling at someone, they're like, hey, you know,
- 1:34:51it's like everybody's in a good mood because they're in
- 1:34:53alignment with truth, which is abundance.
- 1:34:55And it's not that difficult. It takes work, but it's our
- 1:35:00natural state. Our abundance is our.
- 1:35:01Natural state? Well.
- 1:35:03Christy, you are awesome. Thank you so much.
- 1:35:05My favorite? Conversations is Flo and I can't
- 1:35:07wait to read your books too. So thanks for coming on the
- 1:35:10show. Thanks you for having me.
- 1:35:11I appreciate you having me.
