  Wendy Peterson: Right.
• 0:00
  Lori Walpole: And so, I mean, that was kind of a survival strategy for me.
• 0:04
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, exactly. That's what I was gonna say, is mine came from a very early age, and I felt like,
• 0:12
  Wendy Peterson: that I had to earn being around, or being loved, so if I…
• 0:18
  Wendy Peterson: watched the kids and did the dishes or whatever. I was a good girl, and I didn't cause any…
• 0:24
  Wendy Peterson: static, then… then that's where the people-pleasing came from. I would earn the love, I would… I would be okay, you know.
• 0:37
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Hello, hello, hello! Welcome, everybody, to episode 17 of the United States of Us!
• 0:47
  Tammy Green Mitchell: We are so fortunate today to have another guest with us, and Lori, I'm gonna let you do the honors of introducing our amazing guest today.
• 0:58
  Lori Walpole: Okay, great. Thank you, Tammy. Oh, we are so pleased to have Wendy Peterson with us here today. Hi, Wendy, thank you for being here. Wendy is an author
• 1:10
  Lori Walpole: A metaphysical teacher, an intuitive energy healer. She's the founder of Radiance Restoration, and the creator of the Empower Method.
• 1:21
  Lori Walpole: A little bit about her. Wendy helps empaths and soul-led women heal self-worth wounds.
• 1:30
  Lori Walpole: Stop abandoning themselves to keep others happy, and embody authentic confidence rooted in inner safety, truth, and sovereignty.
• 1:41
  Lori Walpole: Her Empower Method brings together neuroscience-informed principles, somatic awareness, emotional healing, energetic practices, and spiritual wisdom.
• 1:55
  Lori Walpole: And what she likes to say, what if confidence was never something you had to build, but something you had to remember?
• 2:02
  Lori Walpole: I love that, Wendy. So, Wendy, tell us… tell us a little bit about yourself, tell us,
• 2:10
  Lori Walpole: how you found yourself here. I mean, we would just love to learn more about you, and absolutely about what you're offering to humanity.
• 2:20
  Wendy Peterson: Well, thank you for that great introduction, and, so…
• 2:25
  Wendy Peterson: I spent 20 years in IT, and, what I found was that, alongside I was doing all this personal development, and
• 2:35
  Wendy Peterson: there were parallels. Like, I intuitively was building systems and frameworks, testing what worked and what didn't work, and then building steps and systems around that. So, that's what kind of led me into the Empower method, is just that trial and error and seeing what works, and then sharing that.
• 3:00
  Lori Walpole: That's wonderful. I just, you know, we went through leadership training together, and I got to meet you through that beautiful process, and all the growth you and I have experienced.
• 3:11
  Lori Walpole: And the fact that your program is helping people, you know, uncover why they've got this low self-confidence, and how
• 3:20
  Lori Walpole: how they can move forward in their lives, and bring more confidence in… into their awareness, and just project that out. And so, it's beautiful. So, tell us a little bit about,
• 3:35
  Lori Walpole: about the Empower Method, I would really like to know about that.
• 3:41
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, so, I like to say we remember, reclaim, embody, and radiate.
• 3:47
  Wendy Peterson: So, first you have to go back. I mean, we all started out with confidence from nowhere, like, you can be a little 3-year-old in a Superman cape, ready to conquer the world before the world gets ahold of you and programs you how you should act, or what you should be, or expectations, and this and that, that…
• 4:07
  Wendy Peterson: Programs us into…
• 4:09
  Wendy Peterson: tamping down our confidence and our radiance. And so, I just help reignite that spark and help you find the authentic
• 4:18
  Wendy Peterson: true you, because we're all individual and multidimensional, and so my method goes into us being multidimensional beings. And so it's not just an approach
• 4:29
  Wendy Peterson: in one area. It's a more holistic approach. And, so that's… that's what the basis of it is, is getting you back to radiate your confident self.
• 4:43
  Lori Walpole: Well, you exude radiance to me. I see it just… it just comes off of you, and I mean, it's just like your aura around you, I can just see it. It's so beautiful. Yeah.
• 4:55
  Wendy Peterson: It's… it was a long journey, of course, you know, as we all have had, right? And a lot of us, have been through multiple, healings and trainings and awakenings and different aspects, and… and,
• 5:09
  Wendy Peterson: The thing is, we aren't often taught how to embody that, and then take what you've learned and
• 5:16
  Wendy Peterson: Not just go on to the next thing, but actually, incorporated into who you are.
• 5:24
  Lori Walpole: Yeah, and just start moving forward from that place.
• 5:27
  Wendy Peterson: Mm-hmm.
• 5:28
  Lori Walpole: releasing, because as you and I both know, and Tammy too, we all know that, I mean, that trauma is layered deep, it's in various layers. I mean, you peel back one little slice of that, and then all of a sudden, you're feeling great, you're moving forward, and then…
• 5:45
  Wendy Peterson: Mm-hmm.
• 5:46
  Lori Walpole: There's another one. I just looked at this! What's happening? And it's like, no, it's buried a little deeper.
• 5:54
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, and that's the great thing about this method, is that when you find yourself in that space, then you know that there's a process, and there's a system, and a framework you can go back to, and you've done it before, and it got you through that part, so you can do it again and get through the next part as well.
• 6:11
  Lori Walpole: Yeah, that's wonderful, so…
• 6:13
  Wendy Peterson: Go ahead.
• 6:14
  Lori Walpole: Tammy.
• 6:15
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I was just… I wanted to ask, you know, tell us a little bit about what you went through that helped you, sort of, arrive at developing the framework that you built. Tell us about your specific journey.
• 6:28
  Wendy Peterson: Well, as Lori mentioned, there are many things that… many trials that we get to, uncover and go through, and some of that was, like, you know, leaving a 28-year marriage, and…
• 6:42
  Wendy Peterson: Rediscovering yourself from that, because you have an identity wrapped in that, and just…
• 6:49
  Wendy Peterson: Your, your, boundaries and learning that you're people-pleasing.
• 6:56
  Wendy Peterson: It's really not serving anybody, because you're serving from an empty cup, and it starts to come from an exhausted place, rather than a place of giving and love that it originally started as, you know.
• 7:12
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Yeah, I can totally relate to that. And I think that we as women, are really sort of groomed to that. We are groomed to give and give and give and give without ever taking back for ourselves, or really caring for ourselves as deeply as we need to.
• 7:29
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I know that's been part of my story and Lori's story, so…
• 7:34
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, exactly. So, it's, learning to recharge and remember who you are, and then celebrate that as you, then that gives you that place to, serve from a higher, higher place. You're giving better, because you're better.
• 7:53
  Lori Walpole: Yeah, and just…
• 7:54
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I'm sure framework different, Wendy, than… I'm sorry, Lori.
• 7:58
  Lori Walpole: That's okay, go ahead.
• 7:59
  Tammy Green Mitchell: go right after this. I want to interrupt you again.
• 8:02
  Lori Walpole: Go ahead!
• 8:05
  Tammy Green Mitchell: What makes your framework, unique in… in this arena?
• 8:11
  Wendy Peterson: So, I… what makes it unique is that, you get to… get to the root of who you are, and it… it doesn't teach you to mask, and it doesn't teach you to, just kind of put a band-aid on it and move on. It lets you actually
• 8:30
  Wendy Peterson: Go through these traumas that we've been through, and come back to yourself and realize that it's okay, and that it's safe to shine now. Whereas before, maybe you've been conditioned to not be able to shine, or maybe you have to dim yourself because of somebody else's expectations.
• 8:48
  Wendy Peterson: And now we're learning it's okay. Just be you, you know? And, then it also is multidimensional, so it's not just this little tool or this little tool.
• 9:00
  Wendy Peterson: It's, multiple modalities blended together in a specific, trauma-aware
• 9:07
  Wendy Peterson: Formula to get you through it.
• 9:10
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Nice.
• 9:13
  Lori Walpole: I love that, Wendy. I mean, we've got… there's so many different healing modalities and people who are stepping into service today to help others.
• 9:23
  Lori Walpole: And the three of us, we're doing that. I mean, we're… we've all got different things that we're doing, but all… we just want to help people, you know, kind of find their way through the muck.
• 9:36
  Lori Walpole: find their way of letting go of what's holding onto them from the past, and… which is creating a fear of this future that's not even arrived. And in order to be able to do that.
• 9:49
  Lori Walpole: I mean, they have… we have to uncover and find who we are. Who are we underneath all of that?
• 9:57
  Lori Walpole: And I love that you've got a program to help people. How long does the program take? Is it something self-guided? Is it something you work with people? Okay, so it's a self-guided program.
• 10:08
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, so I have, a container, and it drips out, module by module, but, because I don't want you necessarily to just…
• 10:18
  Wendy Peterson: To gobble it up and not actually do the work that is embodied in that module, you know?
• 10:26
  Wendy Peterson: So, but then, if you… it's dripped out, and if you aren't ready for the next one, just let it sit there and do your thing, and get through it, you know? And you can always come back and redo it as well, so…
• 10:39
  Wendy Peterson: It's, it's just intentionally a little paced, but not enough to make you, like, come on already, I've got this, you know?
• 10:50
  Lori Walpole: Yeah, but it gives people tools to be able to come back and center themselves and work through what's ever is happening or coming up, so…
• 11:00
  Wendy Peterson: Yes.
• 11:00
  Lori Walpole: That's wonderful. Yes. Wonderful.
• 11:04
  Wendy Peterson: Thank you.
• 11:06
  Lori Walpole: Well, tell us a little bit…
• 11:08
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Can I interrupt here?
• 11:09
  Lori Walpole: Yes, of course, Tammy. That's okay.
• 11:11
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I just had… I'm so excited! I can't just stop talking over you, Lori. I'm so excited, I'm sorry. You know that, our theme is unity, Wendy, and that's the whole reason that we do this podcast, is to bring people together instead of further dividing people.
• 11:29
  Wendy Peterson: Yes, I love that.
• 11:31
  Tammy Green Mitchell: say, I do too! It's one of my favorite things.
• 11:35
  Tammy Green Mitchell: How would you say that your methodology, your framework, actually increases unity among others, like, and brings community together?
• 11:48
  Wendy Peterson: Well, so I have a school community designed to host the, discussions around these things so that people can come together and know that they're not the only ones going through this, and, and…
• 12:01
  Wendy Peterson: help and see others go through this process together, and that's where the community comes in, so… And I'm the founder of Radiance Restoration, which is all about that, so…
• 12:14
  Wendy Peterson: And that's what this, this group is.
• 12:17
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Oh.
• 12:22
  Lori Walpole: Okay, I'm making sure Tammy's not gonna talk over me.
• 12:27
  Lori Walpole: All right, so how does Radiance Restoration, how does that tie into the Empower Method? Did you start with Radiance Restoration and then develop Empower?
• 12:37
  Wendy Peterson: Great question. Yeah. Yeah. So, the radiance restoration came after, when I kind of realized that's what was going on with the Empower method, is I was, revealing the radiance underneath, and so…
• 12:54
  Wendy Peterson: The Empower Method is based on my second book, The Quantum Leap Into Authentic Confidence for Empaths and Lightworkers.
• 13:04
  Wendy Peterson: And from that, I took the… I… that book included the whole 7-step, Empower Method, and, as I went through, you know, you remember, reclaim, embody, and then radiate.
• 13:18
  Wendy Peterson: And so, there's, a kind of pivotal point in that structure of the seven. There's, like, the… the first three, you know, the first three, you embrace, and then you master your emotional sovereignty, and you protect your energy, and you get your boundaries up, and, you know, just the foundations that we've probably been through, some… maybe have been through before.
• 13:42
  Wendy Peterson: But this teaches you how to embody it, and how practically to apply that in your everyday life, rather than just it being a concept, okay, I understand it, yes, you might understand it, but have you been… have you been embodying it? Have you been…
• 13:56
  Wendy Peterson: Accountable. And at the beginning and end of each of the modules, there's a, a scale.
• 14:03
  Wendy Peterson: So, it's a self-rated scale that you get to decide, you know, where you are, and then at the end of the module, you wrap up with the same thing, and then you get to see for yourself how much the needle has moved in that area for you.
• 14:17
  Wendy Peterson: So…
• 14:18
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Wow.
• 14:21
  Lori Walpole: Well, I'm curious, Wendy, how do you use this in your life? Do you go back and use your own method to work through things that come into your awareness?
• 14:32
  Wendy Peterson: Yes, actually, until you… until you asked that question, I hadn't realized that's kind of what I do.
• 14:40
  Wendy Peterson: But yes, so it's now kind of a natural flow for me, you know? Just, like, I just…
• 14:49
  Wendy Peterson: And I do start at the beginning, too. It's not like, you know, oh, I know this all now, so I'll jump to this. It's like, okay, take a minute, re-center yourself, you know, you've been triggered, or you've had this happen, or that happen, you know, then let's get to the bottom of it so we don't have to keep revisiting it.
• 15:10
  Lori Walpole: Would you mind sharing an example?
• 15:13
  Wendy Peterson: Okay, yeah, so, I was saying that, you know, after that 28-year
• 15:21
  Wendy Peterson: divorce, then I thought, okay, I recognize this pattern, I know it, and I'll never fall into that pattern again.
• 15:31
  Lori Walpole: No.
• 15:32
  Wendy Peterson: It's fantastic.
• 15:32
  Lori Walpole: Nice last words.
• 15:34
  Wendy Peterson: Oh, yes. I could see this coming a mile away, yeah, but you didn't, so… So then I had to go back to the Empower Method, and then I went back into, even just starting with the first step of embrace the self-awareness, and that self-awareness allows you to.
• 15:51
  Wendy Peterson: recognize that that was a pattern, and, you know… and then have the grace and the forgiveness that you give others for yourself. Because if your best friend
• 16:01
  Wendy Peterson: fell into that trap again, but caught it, you would say, okay, well, at least you recognized it, and now this or that, you know? Give yourself that same grace. And, it's sometimes the inner voice can be our worst enemy, and so I always…
• 16:16
  Wendy Peterson: Promote, you know, don't say anything to yourself that you wouldn't want said to your own child, you know?
• 16:22
  Wendy Peterson: just be kinder, gentler. And then go through to protect the energy, because if I'm being honest, I wouldn't have found myself in that situation if I would have held my standards and my boundaries and all that. So, it's kind of…
• 16:38
  Wendy Peterson: Kind of a kick in the knee for not holding those boundaries, but also reinforces why you have them to begin with, so…
• 16:46
  Wendy Peterson: That's one way.
• 16:48
  Lori Walpole: Yeah, it's kind of easy to fall back into our own pa- our old patterns if we're not just, present and conscious. I like to say conscious, you know, moving forward, you know, looking at us. I have an example, so yesterday, just…
• 17:05
  Lori Walpole: you know how I talk about stuff to me. So yesterday, I went and volunteered at the food bank, and after I went and volunteered, I was like, I really want to go get this salad from this grocery store, they have them on sale, buy one, get one free, and I'm like, I really want these salads, I want to eat that tonight. So I go to this one store, and they were out.
• 17:22
  Lori Walpole: And I'm like, well, okay, well, there's another one on my way home. Okay, I think I'll go by there. And so I go in, and they have two of the salads. Two. Remember, they're buy one, get one free.
• 17:34
  Lori Walpole: And I grab them, and I always… I don't really like taking the last one.
• 17:40
  Lori Walpole: I just don't like that. But I did, I had them both in my hand, and I turned around, and there was this man standing there with his grocery basket with his three boys. They were all so well-behaved, they… but I could just see the exhaustion on him. I could just see it.
• 17:57
  Lori Walpole: And I looked at him, and I said, are you wanting one of these salads?
• 18:02
  Lori Walpole: And he goes, yeah. And I said, this particular type?
• 18:07
  Lori Walpole: And he goes, yes. And I handed it to him. I said, here, take one.
• 18:12
  Lori Walpole: And he goes, thank you so much, I'm just trying to make it through the day.
• 18:17
  Lori Walpole: And I went, whoa. Well, I picked up another salad. I mean, they had other kinds, I just grabbed another one, and so I did get my buy one, get one free.
• 18:25
  Lori Walpole: But in the past, Wendy, I would not have been present to see him. I would have put those in my little… my little handheld carry, and I would have marched out, I've been so happy I found my two salads. But instead, I saw this man who was just…
• 18:41
  Lori Walpole: he looked like he was about to have a breakdown. And I have no… I've never met him, I'll never see him again.
• 18:48
  Wendy Peterson: Right.
• 18:48
  Lori Walpole: But the only way that I was able to see that was because I was present in the moment, and not wrapped up in just all of my own thoughts of, oh my god, I've got to go do this, I've got to go do this, I've got to get this done, I've got to do this, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
• 19:02
  Lori Walpole: And I was really proud of myself in that moment for being present.
• 19:06
  Lori Walpole: And seeing another human being, because Tammy and I talk about this often.
• 19:11
  Lori Walpole: It's all about us just coming back to love and kindness, and seeing each other and being here for each other. Yeah. And it all stems back for us to be able to find ourselves underneath it all in order to be able to do that, and not just running on subconscious programming.
• 19:30
  Wendy Peterson: And that allowed you to be a blessing for him, so you were put there to be a blessing.
• 19:34
  Lori Walpole: I know, and I ended up going to the second store. I could have just gone home and had me another piece of avocado toast or something, but I wanted that salad. And so, I feel like, you know, Spirit, God, Source, however people identify, put me in that spot for me to see that man, and just to hand him that salad.
• 19:53
  Wendy Peterson: I think so too.
• 19:54
  Lori Walpole: Just to give him a little break, you know? He… I could just see it. I could feel it.
• 20:01
  Lori Walpole: And I'm like, God, I mean, I don't know anything about his story, but he needed that salad.
• 20:07
  Lori Walpole: Anyway, I know that's off on a tangent, I tend to do that, Tammy and I do… we tend to go on our real tangents. But I just felt like the only way I could have noticed that man was the fact that I was present. And it's because I have done so much work, and really…
• 20:25
  Lori Walpole: I focused on allowing myself to be in that space.
• 20:30
  Lori Walpole: we can all get there. And there's so many healing modalities out there that are available, and I would just tell people, go with what resonates with you. You know, and it may be more than one.
• 20:43
  Lori Walpole: You know, you've got your Empower Method. I do QHHT, which is quantum healing hypnosis, I know you're familiar with that, with Dolores. I know, I'm now Level… I'm a level 2 practitioner, and it's got
• 20:55
  Lori Walpole: Thank you, thank you.
• 20:57
  Lori Walpole: So, we're all just kind of doing our little piece here, helping humanity move forward and become…
• 21:03
  Lori Walpole: united and in a place of love, and just acceptance. You know, we're all different, we're all a little different, but we come from the same place.
• 21:17
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I'm not gonna interrupt.
• 21:19
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I'm just gonna raise my hand then.
• 21:22
  Tammy Green Mitchell: You know, I love that, Lori, and I also think you don't have to be a healer to be a helper, you know? You don't have to necessarily have training and certifications and everything to notice that someone next to you is suffering when you can do something about it.
• 21:42
  Tammy Green Mitchell: you know, when we were still in the U.S,
• 21:47
  Tammy Green Mitchell: in the wintertime, it used to break my heart to see people on the side of the road asking for food or money, and especially in the wintertime. Like, I… I can't even imagine what that must feel like, and so I just started carrying, like.
• 22:03
  Tammy Green Mitchell: pairs of wool socks, and gloves, and granola bars in my
• 22:09
  Tammy Green Mitchell: car, and so I didn't have a lot of money to give, but I would always offer a packet to them, and I never once got turned down.
• 22:19
  Tammy Green Mitchell: And, it just…
• 22:21
  Tammy Green Mitchell: wanted to point that out, that the fact that you are open and that you notice that someone nearby is suffering, there's so much suffering right now. We all have problems. We all are experiencing the pain, you know? We all are experiencing the division, we all are experiencing
• 22:40
  Tammy Green Mitchell: That costs are rising everywhere, and it's harder to beat and to…
• 22:46
  Tammy Green Mitchell: live. It's just harder to live right now.
• 22:49
  Tammy Green Mitchell: And anything that we can do for our brothers and sisters, our fellow man, just to make life a little bit easier, is its own form of healing. So…
• 23:03
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Anyway, just wanted.
• 23:04
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah.
• 23:05
  Tammy Green Mitchell: acknowledge that.
• 23:07
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, it's… it's always… for me, always more of a blessing for me if I'm able to bless somebody else, you know, and it typically doesn't even take much. It's the small things that are… that are helpful, that kind of warm your own heart when you're helping somebody else.
• 23:26
  Lori Walpole: Absolutely. It really does. I mean, we get what we give. So, I mean, I always feel so good when I'm coming from a place of giving, and I don't mean giving myself away. I don't mean…
• 23:39
  Lori Walpole: You know, enabling… I don't mean any of that. I'm talking about truly just giving from the heart, when somebody really needs something.
• 23:47
  Wendy Peterson: Yes, and we're better able to do that after we've done our healing like this, as you mentioned. So, it's, it's from a full cup instead of that exhausted, and I'm already depleted, but I just said yes to something I didn't really want to say yes to.
• 24:04
  Wendy Peterson: That's where you're helping your… Boundaries and setting your… your… Self-care routine will help.
• 24:14
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Yes.
• 24:15
  Lori Walpole: like that. Tell us more about the self-care.
• 24:18
  Wendy Peterson: So I… I'll reference my first book, Gratitude is Your Magic Key.
• 24:25
  Wendy Peterson: that self-care, for me, includes gratitude, because it's heartwarming, and it puts you in a higher vibration, in a higher state. And one of the practices from the book that I like to do is, in the evening.
• 24:41
  Wendy Peterson: Before you go to bed, I prefer to write them down, but even just getting your mindset around and saying them,
• 24:50
  Wendy Peterson: is good as well. The side note for writing it down, what I like to do is have a blessing jar, and if you write it down and you put the pieces of paper in a jar… I mean, it doesn't have to be big, you know, just put it in a jar, and then when you're having a hard day, if you look over at that jar and you see it's half full, you'll realize that, hey, I've had all of these blessings from the blessing jar that…
• 25:13
  Wendy Peterson: maybe this too shall pass, and maybe this isn't that bad, you know? So, the other purpose of, writing these down before you go to sleep is that puts your mindset in a positive state for where you're going into sleep, so…
• 25:29
  Wendy Peterson: It's just shifting your physiology into that, a more gratitude space for sleep.
• 25:40
  Lori Walpole: I love that. I love that, Wendy. It just…
• 25:44
  Lori Walpole: I think that's probably, you know, doing that process, people feel a little calmer. It's like, oh, I had this… this amazing blessing that happened today, or it's just…
• 25:54
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah.
• 25:54
  Lori Walpole: Something that's always in my life, and they took a moment just to recognize it, be present, and see it, and give gratitude for it.
• 26:02
  Wendy Peterson: Exactly, it could be somebody gave me a salad.
• 26:06
  Lori Walpole: Yes! I mean, as simple as just handing someone a bag salad, you know, which I know there's chemicals and stuff all in that, it's a whole other story, but I still enjoyed it last night for dinner.
• 26:18
  Lori Walpole: And I hope
• 26:19
  Lori Walpole: too, because I just… my heart just went out for him, and I just, you know, I just let him go on. I didn't have a conversation with him or anything, but…
• 26:28
  Lori Walpole: It was good, it was good.
• 26:30
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah.
• 26:32
  Lori Walpole: What about you, Tammy? What are some of the things.
• 26:35
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Well…
• 26:36
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I was just thinking the whole gratitude thing, and what a great idea, especially before sleep, because it opens up your whole subliminal mind, in that space before you drift off, and it opens you to…
• 26:50
  Tammy Green Mitchell: expansion of consciousness and things that you may not have been open to before, and allows you to see things that you might not have been able to see if
• 27:03
  Tammy Green Mitchell: If you aren't in that state, in that high vibration state before you go to bed.
• 27:10
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Gratitude is a big, a big vibration riser for me, as well.
• 27:17
  Wendy Peterson: Exactly, yes.
• 27:18
  Tammy Green Mitchell: And it's hard to stay…
• 27:21
  Tammy Green Mitchell: It really is hard to stay down on yourself and depressed when you stop to consciously track the things that you feel very, very grateful for. It's really hard to stay low.
• 27:35
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, and that's a great point, because if you're doing this, as you're going to sleep, maybe you've had a rough day, but then if you take the time to realize, okay, hey, this day really did stink, but here are the things I can still be grateful in the moment, even though I'm challenged in this way, so…
• 27:54
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Absolutely.
• 27:54
  Lori Walpole: Yeah, and even when, you know, there's challenging days, there's still lessons for us in there.
• 28:01
  Lori Walpole: So we can kind of look and look at it and discover, oh!
• 28:06
  Lori Walpole: if we sit with it long enough and just kind of look at it, like, oh, I was falling into my own pat… old pattern, and that's why that was happening.
• 28:16
  Lori Walpole: oh, that was coming forward, so I could…
• 28:19
  Lori Walpole: the universe brought that to me so I could look at it and be like, are you gonna respond the same, or are you gonna respond different? You're telling me. You've been saying in your mind, you've been praying, or you've been talking out, hey, I've changed, I'm doing this now, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, and then…
• 28:35
  Wendy Peterson: Mm-hmm.
• 28:36
  Lori Walpole: Boom! How are you gonna react?
• 28:38
  Wendy Peterson: Right.
• 28:39
  Lori Walpole: gonna do? What are you gonna do? I love that. What are you gonna do? And so, it's just kind of a reminder to help keep us on our path.
• 28:48
  Wendy Peterson: Yes.
• 28:49
  Lori Walpole: And then once, you know, we step through and we respond differently, because that's the thing, we just need to respond differently. We can, we get to choose.
• 28:58
  Wendy Peterson: Yes.
• 28:59
  Lori Walpole: Absolutely get to choose.
• 29:02
  Lori Walpole: So yeah, I got to choose giving that man that salad instead of just dumping it in my thing and walking off.
• 29:07
  Lori Walpole: Because I was proud there was two there, even though, like I said, I don't like taking the last one, because…
• 29:13
  Lori Walpole: You know, somebody else is gonna come behind me and want that, too.
• 29:19
  Wendy Peterson: Were you getting ready to say something, Tammy?
• 29:22
  Tammy Green Mitchell: No.
• 29:23
  Wendy Peterson: Okay, sorry.
• 29:24
  Tammy Green Mitchell: No. Sorry. I'm gonna raise my hand now.
• 29:29
  Lori Walpole: Well, I love… okay, so gratitude. My father, was very… he was a very angry man when I was growing up, and even when I was probably in my 20s and my 30s.
• 29:41
  Lori Walpole: And I noticed in my 40s, he began to mellow out, and he talked a lot about gratitude.
• 29:48
  Lori Walpole: And I didn't understand it.
• 29:50
  Lori Walpole: you know, at the time, I didn't really understand, but he was going through his own healing process, and obviously, you know, this information was opening up to him. I mean, he was, an alcoholic when I was growing up. He went into recovery when I was in seventh grade. He got sober then, he never drank again.
• 30:10
  Lori Walpole: I think he was… 5 days… 4 or 5 days shy from his 35th anniversary.
• 30:17
  Wendy Peterson: Hmm.
• 30:18
  Lori Walpole: his birthday, whatever they call it. And Tammy knows, because, yeah.
• 30:23
  Lori Walpole: So… but gratitude, he would come in, and I remember feeling his presence, and I'm going, he feels so much calmer. Even though he still yelled at people when he was driving, that's… that was his thing. It was a big trigger for him.
• 30:38
  Lori Walpole: But he was in such a state of calm, and he would talk about gratitude with me, and those were seeds He planted within me.
• 30:47
  Lori Walpole: And I am so grateful.
• 30:50
  Wendy Peterson: That's awesome.
• 30:51
  Lori Walpole: Yeah.
• 30:52
  Lori Walpole: It's just, you know, we never know how we're touching someone else with our presence, with holding space, and, you know, when we've got someone in front of us who just needs to speak something out, and we allow them
• 31:08
  Lori Walpole: just beautiful, unconditional, loving, accepting space for them to release whatever it is. I mean, that makes them feel heard.
• 31:18
  Lori Walpole: And loved, and valued, and… and that they matter.
• 31:23
  Lori Walpole: That they matter.
• 31:24
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, and that's also an exercise in there, is actually to tell somebody what they have done that you're grateful for, because it's like,
• 31:34
  Wendy Peterson: we are so busy in doing 20 different things, but if somebody is showing up for you in some way that is actually helping you, then to actually acknowledge them, we might say, oh, thank you, and kind of go about our business, and not let them actually know that, hey, that really did help, and I really did appreciate it, you know?
• 31:51
  Wendy Peterson: And as Tammy mentioned, that brings up your, your vibration, and so that's high on the scale of the, of the vortex for the vibration, which opens up, like she said, many, many possibilities for you, so…
• 32:07
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah.
• 32:09
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Wendy, tell us about the client that you've had that most resonates with you.
• 32:15
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Obviously, we don't want any identifiable details, but just tell us about the experience.
• 32:21
  Wendy Peterson: Sure, so… She actually had the same, pattern that I did, which is why it…
• 32:29
  Wendy Peterson: why it was particularly interesting to me, to see her benefit from all that. So the,
• 32:40
  Wendy Peterson: the pattern was, basically at the root of the pattern is, not keeping your standards, not keeping your healthy boundaries up, and your self-worth, and letting people-pleasing, be a way that you shrink, and you don't hold your boundaries, because you think that you're doing something for somebody, and self-sacrificing. Well.
• 33:05
  Wendy Peterson: should be a giving from not self-sacrificing, and letting them know that you matter too, and yes, I'll help you when I'm able to help you, you know? And so…
• 33:16
  Wendy Peterson: getting past that and given the recognition that… that you can come from a place of love, but not chase everybody and do… be everything for everybody, because they put you in a little box, and they begin to expect it, and then, oh, I'll just keep on more, because there's no pushback, you know?
• 33:36
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Right.
• 33:37
  Tammy Green Mitchell: How was… The experience of her breakthrough for you?
• 33:42
  Wendy Peterson: Great question.
• 33:45
  Wendy Peterson: It was a recognition, you know? It was, a celebration, because I was… I was so excited that she got to that recognition, and, she got to the…
• 33:58
  Wendy Peterson: place where she felt more, allowed, and I…
• 34:02
  Wendy Peterson: She said, I give her permission to do that, you know, so…
• 34:07
  Wendy Peterson: I'm like, well, here's your little permission slip. If you need to blame me, blame me, or what, you know, but it's… it's, self-empowering, really. It's…
• 34:15
  Wendy Peterson: It's taking, accountability for your own… well-being.
• 34:23
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Yeah.
• 34:24
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Yeah, it's just powerful, powerful work.
• 34:27
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I know, one of the clients that I had in my womb reclamation therapy
• 34:34
  Tammy Green Mitchell: was, struggling with a job that was really, really taking a toll on her. It was taking a toll on her self-esteem.
• 34:43
  Tammy Green Mitchell: And… and really her identity, and who she knew herself to be. And she felt very trapped,
• 34:53
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Because she needed the job, she needed the money, and she felt like she didn't really have any other options.
• 35:00
  Tammy Green Mitchell: And by the time she got to me, she was just crying all the time. She was, you know, the thought… she was to the point of having medical issues around it, and had actually…
• 35:14
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Just gone on medical leave.
• 35:17
  Tammy Green Mitchell: And so,
• 35:19
  Tammy Green Mitchell: to see her after the sessions that we did, and to see the ways in which her life changed. She found the courage to leave the job.
• 35:31
  Tammy Green Mitchell: She found the courage to leave the city. She started over in a whole new city.
• 35:37
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Her relationships with her boys and her ex-husband can just dramatically improved.
• 35:47
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Things that were very traumatic for her, her entire life, that she experienced annually her entire life, became…
• 35:55
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Things that she could… Accept… And… honor?
• 36:02
  Tammy Green Mitchell: and feel the… the sacredness in instead of mourning around. So, I know as a practitioner, that was pretty powerful for me to witness, and just to acknowledge that I… I got to be the channel for something like that.
• 36:22
  Tammy Green Mitchell: really amazing.
• 36:24
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, it is.
• 36:29
  Lori Walpole: I love that. You know, Wendy, we talk a lot about people-pleasing,
• 36:38
  Lori Walpole: And I know I was probably one of the…
• 36:41
  Lori Walpole: you know, you would pull up people-pleasing. I was probably the one that showed up on the, you know, in the definition. It was me just giving, giving, giving, giving, because I felt like that's the only way that…
• 36:51
  Lori Walpole: I was allowed to show up in the world. That was the only way that I felt like I had any value, was when I was giving that… all of that away to others. Now, I still love to give, I'm not saying I don't still do that.
• 37:03
  Wendy Peterson: Right.
• 37:04
  Lori Walpole: I'm not in a people-pleasing place.
• 37:07
  Lori Walpole: And I taught the world how to treat me being in that place. So, it's a process to retrain everyone around me, and guess what? Some people started falling away because of that.
• 37:20
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah.
• 37:21
  Lori Walpole: And I'm like, whoa, you know, I…
• 37:23
  Lori Walpole: I don't get to be who I really am under here.
• 37:26
  Lori Walpole: Or you don't accept me for that? Well, okay, well, if you need to move on, then okay, I accept that. I don't love it.
• 37:34
  Lori Walpole: You know, it may not be what I want, but it just is.
• 37:39
  Wendy Peterson: Right.
• 37:39
  Lori Walpole: And so, I mean, that was kind of a survival strategy for me.
• 37:44
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, exactly. That's what I was gonna say, is mine came from a very early age, and I felt like,
• 37:51
  Wendy Peterson: that I had to earn being around, or being loved, so if I…
• 37:57
  Wendy Peterson: watched the kids and did the dishes or whatever. I was a good girl, and I didn't cause any…
• 38:03
  Wendy Peterson: static, then… then that's where the people-pleasing came from. I would earn the love, I would… I would be okay, you know.
• 38:11
  Lori Walpole: Yeah, same for me, growing up in, like I said, chaotic alcoholic home, and just wanting peace, and just, you know, please, y'all, stop fighting. It's like, what can I do to make everybody happy?
• 38:25
  Wendy Peterson: Yes.
• 38:26
  Lori Walpole: So, I just made myself as small as possible. I kind of hid, I just kind of would go off and just stay out of the way as much as possible. I mean, my twin sister, she processed it differently than I did, but we're totally different people, so…
• 38:41
  Lori Walpole: I mean, that's to be expected, but who knows if the comments were made to her, why can't you be more like your sister, you know? Just go and… you know, she's so much easier than you are. I don't know if those comments were said to her, I don't know, because…
• 38:54
  Lori Walpole: They weren't said to me.
• 38:56
  Wendy Peterson: Right.
• 38:57
  Lori Walpole: But it's followed me through my whole life. I remember being in corporate America when I first started going into meetings. My self-esteem was so low, it was all I could do to even say my name in a meeting and tell people what department I was in.
• 39:14
  Lori Walpole: Because I had such low self-esteem, my heart would start hammering.
• 39:18
  Lori Walpole: And I'm going, why? I'm just saying my name! I belong here! You know, but I couldn't… it was just this subconscious, or this fight or flight state, and I just wanted to run. And I just wanted to hide, because it was… I felt exposed.
• 39:35
  Lori Walpole: And I felt vulnerable.
• 39:37
  Lori Walpole: And, but everything was always fine, and, you know, I went along, and my confidence grew a little bit, but my confidence really didn't grow until going through our life and leadership transformational program, is when…
• 39:54
  Wendy Peterson: Awesome, yeah.
• 39:55
  Lori Walpole: I really left so much… and I had been sitting for 2 years doing work, clearing, healing, all the things, and that program, thank you, Tammy, showed up exactly when I asked for it. The day after I told the universe I was ready to move forward, I get a phone call from Tammy Mitchell.
• 40:14
  Lori Walpole: And… I signed up.
• 40:17
  Lori Walpole: I signed up, and I'm so grateful I did, and I got to meet you through that process.
• 40:21
  Wendy Peterson: Yes! Yes.
• 40:23
  Lori Walpole: Wonderful.
• 40:23
  Wendy Peterson: So thank you, Tammy!
• 40:26
  Tammy Green Mitchell: You're welcome.
• 40:27
  Lori Walpole: Yeah… And I know Tammy's been a coach through that process, too, and.
• 40:33
  Wendy Peterson: Wow.
• 40:34
  Lori Walpole: Yeah, she actually got to coach one of those sessions,
• 40:38
  Wendy Peterson: Impressive.
• 40:39
  Lori Walpole: Was a great process for her, too.
• 40:42
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I don't know if I would call it impressive. It was, you know, everything we went through as students felt like it intensified about 100 times. So, all the layers that got peeled from me as a student.
• 40:55
  Tammy Green Mitchell: went about 100 times deeper as a coach, and it was… it was powerful, and it was exactly where I needed to be as well at the time. I'm grateful for that experience.
• 41:11
  Tammy Green Mitchell: And,
• 41:15
  Tammy Green Mitchell: yeah, I'm just super grateful for that experience. And I love the way that it folded into what we all do naturally, which is the healing part, you know? You… as you said earlier, Wendy, you can't pour from an empty cup, and
• 41:35
  Tammy Green Mitchell: learning more about what needed to be healed in me.
• 41:43
  Tammy Green Mitchell: really, I think, is the impetus for me being able to offer myself as a complete open channel for the healing that needs to come through me.
• 41:53
  Tammy Green Mitchell: So, super, super powerful. That makes sense.
• 41:56
  Wendy Peterson: Perfect sense, yeah.
• 41:59
  Wendy Peterson: That's awesome.
• 42:01
  Lori Walpole: that's the same for me, Tammy. You know, going through the process, I know I didn't do the coaching, but being a student through that.
• 42:07
  Lori Walpole: And finding my way through, because I mentioned I spent, like, 2 years just sitting, Wendy, and healing, and I had started down my process of becoming a QHHT practitioner. I had made it through my Level 1, and then…
• 42:21
  Lori Walpole: started Level 2, because I needed the same number of sessions for either, so I thought, oh my gosh, this additional training will give me more confidence.
• 42:29
  Lori Walpole: I'll be able to, you know, hold better space for people. I just… I'm so excited about doing the Level 2, and then something early on was said that just made me…
• 42:39
  Lori Walpole: And pause.
• 42:40
  Lori Walpole: And it… it was something to the effect.
• 42:44
  Lori Walpole: of, you know, this person, this might be their last hope.
• 42:49
  Lori Walpole: And I was like, oh my god, I don't know if I'm ready for that.
• 42:52
  Wendy Peterson: Right.
• 42:53
  Lori Walpole: oh my gosh, I don't know, I don't know!
• 42:55
  Wendy Peterson: That's a lot of pressure.
• 42:56
  Lori Walpole: And it felt that way, but it was so appropriate for me to hear it when I did, so I did pause.
• 43:02
  Lori Walpole: And I did… I did work on myself, and I did allow the time and the space, and then through the leadership training, you know, I ended up finishing my Level 2, I started on all my sessions, and now, you know.
• 43:16
  Lori Walpole: I'm a fully certified Level 2 practitioner, but I would not have been able to hold the space, because I was not in a place as an empath
• 43:27
  Lori Walpole: Of not fully absorbing what somebody else was putting off.
• 43:31
  Wendy Peterson: Yes.
• 43:32
  Lori Walpole: So… That's great.
• 43:33
  Wendy Peterson: That's key.
• 43:33
  Lori Walpole: It is key. I had to learn to observe and not absorb. Exactly.
• 43:39
  Lori Walpole: it wasn't mine to carry. And I have carried stuff my entire life for other people, and I've got a… we've got a girlfriend staying with us a couple nights here, and we had a conversation a while back.
• 43:53
  Lori Walpole: And she mentioned, we were talking about another girlfriend, and something happened, and anyway, she was upset about what happened.
• 44:02
  Lori Walpole: like, months after we had talked about it, and I said, oh, I said, honey, you don't have to hold that for me.
• 44:09
  Lori Walpole: I said, I'm not holding that anymore. You don't have to hold that. You don't need to resent it. It was just something that happened. I was just, you know, telling you about what happened.
• 44:19
  Lori Walpole: But you don't have to hold it.
• 44:22
  Wendy Peterson: It's a beautiful realization. That was so kind of you.
• 44:26
  Lori Walpole: Yeah, and so I'm hoping, you know, just through that conversation, maybe she'll understand, hey, I don't have to hold that either.
• 44:34
  Lori Walpole: And I don't have to hold that either!
• 44:36
  Wendy Peterson: Exactly.
• 44:37
  Lori Walpole: I can let that go. You know, just one little thing, but yes, observe, don't absorb, because let me tell you, it was hard to walk out of this house and go places, and I'm just feeling everything.
• 44:50
  Lori Walpole: And people… people are probably thinking, well, why didn't you feel it before? Well…
• 44:54
  Lori Walpole: I was numbed out. I drank alcohol a lot, quite a bit. I mean, I wouldn't call myself an alcoholic. I mean, I was able to quit, cold turkey, no big deal.
• 45:06
  Lori Walpole: But it was still a habit, and I was still using it to numb.
• 45:10
  Lori Walpole: And I was on prescription medicine, and I was eating bad foods that, you know, weren't working with my body. My poor body was having to try to deal with all this foreign chemical crap that it didn't know what to do with, and it's just…
• 45:25
  Lori Walpole: It wasn't a good situation, so I was… I wasn't feeling anything, honestly. I wasn't feeling even myself.
• 45:35
  Lori Walpole: And so, I know you're an empath too, so what are your experiences around that?
• 45:40
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah, you nailed it. You have to learn to, observe, not absorb, and that's why the,
• 45:49
  Wendy Peterson: the emotional sovereignty and protect your energy is one of the first things, or… well, it's the, third step, but it's very vital, because people…
• 46:03
  Wendy Peterson: And you affect people around you. There's, like, our aura carries up to a 6-foot radius around you, and so…
• 46:13
  Wendy Peterson: You're in people's energy bubble.
• 46:15
  Wendy Peterson: Quite often, and not even realize, you know, and so… and to recognize what is yours and what is not, like you were saying, you don't have to carry that for me, you know? To even notice that that's not even mine is a very good self-awareness, observation.
• 46:35
  Lori Walpole: Yeah. What about you, Tammy?
• 46:37
  Tammy Green Mitchell: It's not always easy to do that, either, you know? First-hand experience. It's just not always easy to recognize that it's someone else's energy, and, you know.
• 46:49
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I haven't been doing this as long as you, Wendy, but I've been doing this for 6 years now, and
• 46:56
  Tammy Green Mitchell: even as recent as last week, I was like, what is going on? What is wrong with me? And it took a couple of days to work itself through, and finally it clicked, and I was like, this is not even mine.
• 47:10
  Lori Walpole: Yes.
• 47:10
  Tammy Green Mitchell: So, I'm just, you know, having the awareness is great, and sometimes you still forget, and you're like, oh, wait a minute, oh no, no, this is… I can lay this down, this is not me.
• 47:24
  Wendy Peterson: Right?
• 47:25
  Tammy Green Mitchell: So, learning how to practice energy hygiene is a very valuable skill.
• 47:33
  Wendy Peterson: Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 47:36
  Wendy Peterson: And there's, thankfully, you know, surprisingly easy ways to do that. It isn't something that takes, you know, an hour a day or anything. If you can just go through, you know, a scan of your energy, and
• 47:51
  Wendy Peterson: remove what isn't yours, and then fill that with love and light. So, I don't know, I'll just toss in this, you guys are probably aware of cord cutting,
• 48:02
  Wendy Peterson: ceremonies and different things. So, what I've learned is that instead of cutting, I now do, I pull it out at the source, because I don't want to leave any debris in. And so then, I turn my hands into, like, a sweep, like a broom, and then I sweep clean the energy, and then I call in to fill with love and light from the…
• 48:26
  Wendy Peterson: Divine Source Golden Light.
• 48:28
  Wendy Peterson: to fill my body and fill any places that, has been emptied from the removing of those things. And I think that's a key part, is to fill what we have released, because nature abhors a vacuum, so…
• 48:46
  Lori Walpole: I love that.
• 48:47
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Thank you for that tip.
• 48:49
  Lori Walpole: I do too. Thank you, Wendy. And I think it's so important for us today, especially with what's going on collectively out in the world, all of the, you know, turmoil, what people are seeing and feeling, and, you know.
• 49:03
  Lori Walpole: The feeling of having scarcity, and not enough, and…
• 49:07
  Lori Walpole: It's tough. It's really tough. I do believe, though, honestly, that we all have the capacity to have enough. I believe this world
• 49:18
  Lori Walpole: Is a universe that will give us enough.
• 49:22
  Lori Walpole: I believe that we have to ask for it. We have to move that way with our actions. Our thoughts. Our thoughts are so important. Where is your headspace? Because that's what you're pulling in. That's what.
• 49:37
  Lori Walpole: frequency you're on.
• 49:39
  Lori Walpole: Are you thinking bad about others, or about yourself?
• 49:44
  Lori Walpole: Or are you just sending people love, and kindness, and also sending that to yourself?
• 49:51
  Wendy Peterson: Yes.
• 49:53
  Wendy Peterson: And that's the thing, if you're busy doing that, and you're busy being in gratitude, that leaves less time for the worry, that leaves less time for the negative to come in.
• 50:03
  Lori Walpole: Yeah, and we know it's there. I mean.
• 50:06
  Wendy Peterson: Oh, yeah. It's there. It's natural, yeah.
• 50:08
  Lori Walpole: But we don't have to engage with it, and the more we pull our energy from that…
• 50:14
  Lori Walpole: the… I'll call it the beast system, more… pulling it away from the matrix, however.
• 50:19
  Lori Walpole: call it.
• 50:20
  Lori Walpole: Yeah. The more we do that, the more it fractures.
• 50:25
  Wendy Peterson: Yes, and the more of…
• 50:27
  Wendy Peterson: Yeah.
• 50:30
  Wendy Peterson: And it takes,
• 50:32
  Wendy Peterson: less, less of the dark to be overpowered by the light. And an example I once heard about this, which I thought was brilliant, is, you could be in a big concert hall, and, you know, somebody will light a lighter from across the stadium, and it's just that one light
• 50:51
  Wendy Peterson: is recognized, you know, so it takes far less light to overpower the darkness, and the scales are tipping in our favor. There's more light coming in now.
• 51:03
  Tammy Green Mitchell: I love that.

• 51:11
  Lori Walpole: We all do, and like you said, our 6-foot aura window that we interact with everyone with, I want people to feel that love, and that happiness, and that joy, and I'll admit, yesterday after, you know, the food bank, and I had been in a warehouse working for a few, and I'm hot, and I'm tired, and…
• 51:27
  Lori Walpole: you know, finding my salad that I wanted, but I still was present enough to see that sweet man there with his boys, and I was just like, you know, I was really proud of myself in that moment.
• 51:39
  Lori Walpole: I'm allowed to be proud of myself.
• 51:40
  Wendy Peterson: Yes! Yes. Yes.
• 51:43

• 51:56
  Tammy Green Mitchell: Yeah, and you know, Lori, the most powerful thing is, you had an interaction with him, between you and him, but you really don't know who around you overheard you.

• 52:16
  Tammy Green Mitchell: And I think that's beautiful. That's exactly what we are here to do. We are here to be with each other. We are here to walk each other home. And yes, there is enough when we remember that we belong to each other. There's always enough.

• 52:53
  Lori Walpole: Collectively moving from that space, all of… The madness will fall away.
• 52:59

• 53:36
  Wendy Peterson: not only the learning of the lesson, but also practical exercises. So, it's not just this concept that you're trying to wrap your head around, but it's how you can use it in your daily life, or practical ways that you can implement. And I give more than one exercise so that, you know, if this one doesn't resonate with you, or it didn't
• 53:55
  Wendy Peterson: Do what you wanted it to do. Well, then you have another option just to kind of start you thinking along those lines of different ways you can implement it.
• 54:05
  Lori Walpole: So, is the only place they can find your method in the book, or are there other avenues for that?
• 54:10
  Wendy Peterson: Great question. So, there's, it's on… both the books are on Amazon under, Wendy Martin Eck Peterson, and the,
• 54:20
  Wendy Peterson: the Empower Method is gonna… is coming… I have a course, and that's gonna be in my school community to get the link for it, and to get even just a touch, get a freebie to go to the school community and get a freebie that will lead you into the path to find out more about that.

  Wendy Peterson: the reason I brought Radiance Restoration is because I want to share joy and love and compassion and healing, because we're all… we all have, the ability to be healers and self-healers. We can heal ourselves.

  Wendy Peterson: You've probably done other things that worked, and then you kind of tossed it aside or forgot about it. Well…
• 55:29
  Wendy Peterson: Revisit the things that are working for you, and find your joy, and that's gonna naturally
• 55:34
  Wendy Peterson: do things that excite you. I mean, it could be buy yourself flowers if you have to.
