  SPEAKER_00: I I love that you've put so much of your history and what you're about and your values in there.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: So people are automatically going to get from you that you've you've been living a life of service and service to some populations that were probably really desperately in need.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: So welcome.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks, Kelly.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: I really appreciate you inviting me on the show and uh getting to talk about Rise.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: So I want to start.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: This is so exciting.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: And I I was telling you, I've been dabbling a little bit on your website, which is fantastic and so user-friendly.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I want to make sure in the show notes there's going to be a link to head over to the website so you can kind of play with some of the things that Mary already has there.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: But let's start with RISE Hypnotic Meditation.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: What does RISE stand for?
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: I love an acronym.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_02: It is an acronym.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: It stands for the four stages of the process of the hypnotic meditation.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: It is R is for relax, I is Imagine, S is suggest, and E is for empower.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_02: So when I learned self-hypnosis during my hypnosis training, I found it kind of convoluted and confusing.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: And when I would lie down to do it, I wasn't really sure what I was doing or if I was doing it correctly or if I was doing it in the right order.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: So when the pandemic happened and my one-on-one business closed, the cranial sacral work and my table closed, I uh started thinking because I did still have service left in me.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: I still have things to teach, I have work to do, but I knew it was going to shift and change.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: So I started thinking about how I could teach self-hypnosis in group.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: So I've been doing it one-on-one with my clients for a long time because sometimes I wouldn't see a client but once a month or once every two months, and they wanted to continue the work between sessions.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: So I was teaching this therapy for some time, although it wasn't called Rise.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_02: And then when the pandemic happened and I sat quietly at home alone and thinking about what was next, Rise came to me and it really came to me.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_02: And it was like, oh, this makes it so simple.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_02: This is anyone can grab Rise and learn the four steps and do the work and shift their mindset, think more positively, but also increase more of what they'd like to have more of in their life, whether it's more patience or to run a little faster or to uh knock off the negative self-talk, uh, whatever people needed, that there were it was a tool that they could use.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: And so my clients were telling me they were using it for other things on their own, besides what we had been working with.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: So I started realizing the depth of what it really could do.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so for the last year, I've been traveling a little bit as I can and teaching it to different people, and I've just really been encouraged, and um I love the work, and I loved seeing people awaken and see some answers and see some things dissolved that they're ready to let go of in their life.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_02: So it's been a very rewarding um next step for me.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_02: So it's nice to know there's some life after, you know, in the time of all this change.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_02: And so yeah.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I I feel so much the same way you do when it was like, okay, now you're gonna be home.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: And like the two weeks that they told us initially, I was like, well, this is gonna be great.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I've got projects, I'm gonna relax, I'm gonna do all these things.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then it was like, and it's gonna keep going.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: And then we realized it was a marathon, not a race.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: And so it was how do we pivot?
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: How do we continuously reinvent ourselves based on what's happening now?
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: So we talked a little bit about you know, rise and how it's used.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: So, what can it be used for?
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: How can people take this as a practical tool?
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, the way I do it is I do it every night at the end of the day.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: And so as I'm going to sleep at night, I'll just take a few breaths and relax my body and I'll feel the blank and I'll think about the colors of the sheets and of the dark, cool room, and of my dog next to me in her crate.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_02: And then I will just think about the day and process the day.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_02: And the good things I will make a little bit louder and I will think about a little bit and really enjoy them again one more time, you know, at the end of the day.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_02: And the things that didn't go so well, or the hiccups of the day, um, would give me time to reframe them, you know.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe I acted that way today because fill in the blank, you know.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe maybe I wasn't my most patient or my most present today because I was frustrated about this or that.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_02: And it it kind of gave me a way to look at the day and to shift the energy.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_02: So I wasn't necessarily going to bed with a heaviness about me or a regret or guilt or shame, um, things like that.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_02: And then also I've used it also to bolster things.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not a speaker, I've been in my dark little room doing cranial sacral therapy and hypnotherapy with people for 20 years.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: So I have not been a teacher, I have not been an author, I have not been a public speaker.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_02: So, but I am now.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you are now.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: I am now.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: So um RISE has really helped me with that as well, to um to kind of, you know, pull that part of me up and let that part of me shine a little bit more than it had in the past.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I I like this.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: And I I like that you've broken it down into steps and kind of given it more of a framework because, you know, I'm sure for so many people, meditation is a fairly new experience, like in the past two years.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: I had I had already been meditating myself, but then kind of went into more of a practice.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: But I had used meditation kind of as like as part of my day, part of my self-care.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: But then it became this is a tool that can drift me out of being in these states of anxiety and fight or flight and kind of dealing with all of the emotions of the day and things shifting back and forth.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I I can kind of relate to people who sit down in stillness and they're like, Well, now what?
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: So I think this is such a beautiful way to look at it that you're you're kind of identifying each of the little steps.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe you can take us through like what that looks like to go through each of those little steps.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: Cause I loved that the first one was relax.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, if somebody had led with, okay, you're gonna do this thing, it's called meditation, but don't worry about that.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: You're gonna start with relax.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'd be like, Well, that sounds amazing.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: Sign me up.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: Well, relax is the first step.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_02: It is um a body scan.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: You can do a progressive relaxation scan.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but also going inward.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, when I first started learning meditation, I had the false impression that you want to go out of body.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_02: You want to go up into the ethos in the heavens, and that's where your answers were.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_02: And you grab that information and you bring it down.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: But body work and doing cranial sacral therapy taught me that that's not how it is, that it's really inside of us, our our DNA, our training, our imprints, our fears, our habits, and that's really what is fueling us.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_02: So R is you relax and so go deeply into your body, even if it's thinking about your spine or your core, and you want to take deep breaths, and the breaths really help to shift the nervous system and bring everything down.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_02: So that usually takes two or three minutes, and then imagine is the step where you really want to bring your senses into the process.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_02: You want to use smell, taste, sights, sounds, colors, textures.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_02: So you want to create a really happy, safe place for you to do your work.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: I find nature very helpful in that for me.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: That's where I go to rejuvenate.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_02: So it's very easy for me to imagine a forest or a beautiful beach.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_02: And when I go to those places, create them in as much detail as possible.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_02: So you're really feeling the sand between your toes and the temperature of the sand as you wiggle them down into the wiggle your toes down into the sand.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_02: And you want to bring this place alive, and it really has a way of bringing you deeper inside of yourself.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_02: And then suggest is where you're moving the energy, you're shifting something.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_02: You're either shifting the way you feel about something, you're shifting a burden or a block that you have.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and there's many different ways to do this.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: I teach a three-hour workshop, Rise is a workshop, and so we go through these steps, and one is affirmation.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_02: So a lot of times we don't have the people around us to tell us what we need in the moment, and sometimes we need to just rely on ourselves and tell ourselves that we're doing the best we can, and that's good enough, and many other things.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_02: So, affirmation is one way you can move the energy, another way to use the energy to move the energy is using a metaphor.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_02: So you can imagine your block as an as a thing.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_02: So maybe your anger is a red heart hot ball of fire fire and flame, or maybe your fear is a crystal bowl that's very fragile and that can break very easily.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, this is all very uh individualized to what works best for the person.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_02: But metaphor works well, visualizations work well, where you can imagine what you want to move and then move it that way.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, there's one scenario where you imagine a file cabinet and you open the drawer that is your files, the file of your life and your existence now.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_02: And all the red files, you don't need to name what they are or know what they are.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_02: All the red files represent that which you are done with.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_02: You don't need that energy anymore.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_02: It's not productive for you anymore.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_02: Possibly it was an imprint that you had picked up a long time ago that longer serves you.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_02: And you just pull those red files out of the filing cabinet and shred them.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_02: You go back and you look at the files that are the truly who you are and your more most productive self.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_02: And uh so there's a lot of different ways, a lot of different ways to play with it.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_02: I really encourage people to find which one works the best for them.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_02: There's also contingent suggestion.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_02: So if I used to work, I used to be this way in a certain now I'm gonna be that way.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_02: If I used to get very nervous when a certain person would walk in the room, now that I've shifted that energy, how am I gonna be when they walk in the room?
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: What's gonna be different?
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_02: How am I gonna light up differently?
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_02: How's my energy gonna be different?
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: How when I shift an energy, are people gonna react differently to me?
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and then the last one is regression, where you kind of go back to the original time of the imprint and shift it.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_02: And sometimes it's kind of like um pulling the root out of something, you know.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_02: So you're kind of going back to the original and seeing how it it happened, how you pick up that imprint, why you had that fear or that particular habit, and then that gives you the ability to shift it.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe I pick that up because I was told that a very at a very vulnerable time.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe I always eat everything on my plate, even if it's way too much food, because at that moment in time when I was a child, I was told to clean up everything on my plate.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_02: And I kept my life, and I feel guilty if I don't.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_02: Or whatever the scenario is.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: So it's kind of shifting the energy and giving yourself another way of looking at a situation or a challenge that you have in your life.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: And then the last step is E, which is empowered, which is feeling the results of the work.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: So now you've just shifted something.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: What's going to replace that?
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: I don't want to say whole, but what whatever you've replaced, you want to replace it with something very productive and positive in your life.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: And then there's also the superhero pose, which you know, putting your hands, your fists on your hips and standing very tall and straight.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_02: There have been studies done by that by Harvard and Columbia University about how that really changes you physically.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_02: By standing in that pose for two minutes or 120 seconds, it does physically change your chemical balance in your body.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_02: It increases your testosterone and it decreases your cortisol.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry, other way around.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_02: Increases your cortical.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_02: No, you're right.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_02: Increases testosterone.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_02: You had it.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_02: Increases your okay, I'm questioning myself.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so by doing these things, then you're really um amplifying the shift that you've made.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, that's gorgeous.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_00: That's such a great process, you know.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm thinking this makes it so much different than like the traditional idea or concept we might have of meditation where, you know, we're just kind of sitting in stillness and what happens, happens.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: But this process is seems so much more you're engaging in a process that you're you're actively shifting things.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: So what may have looked like a very passive activity now becomes one that's very active and helpful in progressing in the areas that you want to progress.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_02: Well, what I noticed with my clients, you know, our clients teach us, but my clients would come in and they would say, I've got this anger towards my sister that is ruining everything.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_02: I've got to get rid of it.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_02: I I my kids are walking all over me.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: I need to learn how to have boundaries.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_02: You know, they would come in the door knowing what the energy was that they wanted to shift.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_02: Cranial sacral therapy didn't always address it, but when I put it back on them, you know, how do you want to change this energy?
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_02: What would you rather do than be angry at your sister?
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_02: How would you like to resolve that, to have more peace in your heart and have a better relationship?
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_02: You know, how that reflects all in your life.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: So I found that that putting this tool in other people's hands really gave them the ability to shift things for themselves.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_02: And I think now with the pandemic, we really need to find ways to help ourselves and to work with ourselves because we can't get to people as easily.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, it's so many businesses have closed, so many people have had to shift, you know, lives and you know, be stay-at-home mothers and and teaching mothers, you know, instead of going out and working, and you know, a lot of different things have changed.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I think that's such a great segue to um your contributing author to volume five of the ultimate guide to self-healing.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: She's there behind you, love it.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I'm I'm with you that what I heard and and that Laura DeFranco and connected with her, um, that she was doing these projects to bring, you know, the tools to people to have people be able to invest in their own healing and change that paradigm, that thought, like I have to go to somebody for this.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: Physically, I need to go versus I can become informed and educated and I can learn and I can become my own healer.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: And this has been such, I mean, we're almost at the two-year mark of, you know, that that day that she was inspired with this idea and you know, yours is volume five.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I was in volume four, and um, it's really very exciting to me.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: And this idea that we can become so empowered and capable of our own healing, and these tools don't have to be held in the hands of gurus and only sort of dribbled out to people as we can, but they're just they're there and they're so easily accessed.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_00: So I think you know, for people like yourself who have taken, you know, a topic and created a framework that's approachable and effective, um, you know, we're we're really revolutionizing how people heal and you know, increasing or decreasing the amount of time that it takes.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_02: I think so too.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: And and ultimately it is in people's hands, you know.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_02: There's there's hypnosis, but all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_02: You know, we I have to allow, we have to be ready.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_02: It can't be, you know, someone saying we need to change or you need to quit doing that, or you know, that doesn't the shame and the guilt doesn't really change patterns and change habit or make us happy.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_02: And um, and I the other thing is our brain really wants us to be safe, not necessarily happy.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_02: So the decisions that our brain makes and our active way of responding to things is to keep us safe, not to keep us happy.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_02: So sometimes we have to override what our brain is telling us and say, No, I'm gonna get up the courage and I'm gonna do that.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_02: Because if I could do that, that would make me really happy.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_02: And that's important to me.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_02: And our brain will say, Oh, no, no, no, just stay where you are, just just sit down, have another cup of coffee, stay right where you are.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_00: You're just it's so true.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_00: There is, there is the that little voice, yeah.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: She for me, she shows up and she's like, No, no, no, we're not doing that.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like, oh, oh yes, but we are.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm like, you are not driving, it's me.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm in charge here.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_02: And our mind will try to imprison us that way, it will try to control us and and tell us, no, no, because it wants to keep us safe.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_02: It doesn't necessarily want us to live our best lives.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, you know, we need both.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_02: We need to be safe too, but there are times where our mind just needs to sit in the corner and be quiet, let us have an adventure.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I I think that too that piece of becoming more embodied and more existing within our bodies and less in that mind space that tends to spin and be repetitive and hold all of that conditioning that we've picked up over this lifetime, potentially others, you know, um getting into our bodies, using our senses, like you said, I think that's that's also such a huge, you know, piece to it that getting down into our bodies, the breathing, the calming, you know, uh so many of us in these past couple of years have been just existing so much in that state of fight or flight.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and like you, one of my priorities has been to support people in, you know, no longer staying in that space of heightened anxiety all the time because it just does such a number on our bodies.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_00: So I love how you included the Superman pose and you know, kind of reducing cortisol and having these means by which we can take control of that, you know.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I think that's fantastic.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_00: Would you like to tell us a little bit about your book that's coming out mid-February?
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_02: Please, yes, I'm very excited about it.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_02: It is the Rise book.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_02: So it is uh the class, but then on the back, it also has um Rise for Different Things.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_02: There's suggestions for doing a session.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_02: So there's Rise for Sleep, Rise for Patience, Rise for Athletic Performance.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and I think there's about 25 or 30 different suggestions where I suggest an R, an I, an S, and an E on how to do that.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_02: And these are just um A place to get started.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_02: Again, I would really like this to be an individualized practice for people to bring in their own habit and their own tradition with this.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_02: So they pick their favorite place to do it.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_02: They pick their music.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_02: They pick um, you know, all the conditions that they want around them to help support the work.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's beautiful.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_00: And you said sleep, so my ears perked up.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_02: That's a big one.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's one of my favorite topics.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and then so people who are struggling with sleep, so many times it's that busy brain that hits the pillow, and it's it's either the repetitive thoughts or it's creative people who have never had this kind of time at home to explore the things that they're excited about.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_00: And they just keep going a mile a minute and you know, try to stop and lay down and sleep, and it doesn't work.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: So this sounds like such a fantastic tool for that window time before trying to fall asleep.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_00: So I love that.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_02: That's that's when I use it the most, but I've also used it honestly in the bathroom stall of a restaurant before.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_02: I have sat down and had had something come up in me during that dinner and went and just you know calmed myself and went through the process and shifted that energy as well.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_02: So it also is a great um emergency tool as well.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, fantastic!
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's things surprise us sometimes.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_02: You know, we do have these imprints and these habits, and sometimes we get, you know, nudge.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_02: And um, you know, it's it's nice to really uh nip that in the bud.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_02: And so this is something that you can also do uh once you really train your mind and your body to do it in a very short amount of time.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_00: So I I'm guessing that with this book coming out, that there's going to be so many more ways that people can connect with you, participate in your work.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_00: So, what are some of the things you have coming up and what are the best ways for people to get linked up with you?
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_02: Well, probably the best way is through the website.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's www.riashypnoticmeditation.com.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_02: There are videos there that support the work that say why it works, how it works, and then also some videos for different things.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_02: Um, we're just getting started on that.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_02: There'll be new videos added weekly or bi-weekly.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so we're gonna keep building that library, and but that's really to get people started in the process.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_02: There's also a list of the classes that I'm doing, and we're gonna start doing more virtual classes as well.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_02: So um, if you have any questions about it, and then also the book will be out next month on Amazon, or we'll also advertise that on the website as well.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_02: So oh my gosh, just reach out, please.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_02: I'm here if anybody would like any help if they're feeling stuck with Rise at all, or you just like to know more about it, please reach out.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_02: Love to talk to anybody about it.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_00: Awesome.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_00: All right, I'm gonna ask you one more question.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_00: This is my new favorite question to ask guests because I I love visioning, I love this idea of kind of forecasting for ourselves into the future.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_00: So, what do you think you yourself in December of 2022 is going to have accomplished and learned in this year?
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_02: I think I am gonna learn to be a better public speaker.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_02: I'm getting more opportunity.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna start presenting RISE at a few conferences, so I'm gonna get um the opportunity to speak more publicly about it.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm really hoping to improve my public speaking ability and then also just to get RISE into people's hands.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_02: I I feel like it is a very usable, adaptable, direct technique, and I hope that I can spread it to as many people as possible between now and December of 2022.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I love it.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_00: I love it, and I agree with you.
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_00: I hope, I hope we can get lots of people just learning these skills to be able to improve their lives and their interactions with other people.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so thrilled for you, Mary, and I really can't wait for this book to come out.
• 28:23
