  Speaker 1: Welcome to Our Soul Whisper with Kathy Belmont and co
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: host Doctor Pat a sacred space for self discovery, healing,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and transformation. At the heart of our Soul Whisper is
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the sacred truth. When we pause and listen inward, the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: soul always speaks. This show offers a safe, empowering space
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: where those whispers are heard, honored, and lovingly guided into
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: full expression. Each episode invites you to be curious about
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: yourself and the reality you're in, while gently reminding you
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that you are exactly where you need to be. Let
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: today's message settle in your heart, maybe even journal about it,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and if something resonates peace, clarity, or insight, pass it
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: along to someone whose souls might be calling for the same.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Keep listening inward. Your soul knows the way. Our Soul
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Whisper starts now, Doctor Patten, I get to take this
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: journey with the most amazing Kathy Belmont. And you know
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: what Kathy pulled out today is I have to say
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that I actually believe it is a silent killer. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: we're talking about the connection paradox why we feel lonely
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: in a hyper connected world, and I don't want to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: just talk about that for a minute. Kathy's going to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: really take this on. But loneliness is now called an
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: epidemic because about thirty percent of US adults experience isolation
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: sixteen percent globally. There are severe health risks comparative to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: smoking fifteen cigarettes day. But the question is why, what
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is it? Is there an illusion here? What is the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: illusion we create? And how does all of this relate
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to isolating us in a place of helplessness? Kathy, thank
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you for taking this topic on.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: No, you're welcome. Hi everyone, Thanks, Yeah, thanks for that intro,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and it really got me in touch with really starting
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: off with defining loneliness and then social isolation because they
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: are a little bit different. And so, you know, loneliness
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: it's more of that subjective feeling, this lack of this
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: disconnection or lacking you know, close relationships, where social isolation
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: is more objective. We can measure it in a sense
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: where that lack, you know, the not having family, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: connections or friends or community a little bit more measurable.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And so it's interesting because we can we can be
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: isolated and maybe not feel lonely, and we can feel
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: lonely and not be isolated. You know, we can be
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: in groups of people and feel lonely, So, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: we have this illusion of connection. And I really wanted
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to look at social media and artificial intelligence here because
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: they're so this is a part of so many ways
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: we connect. And yet when we look at it, how
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: intimately are we really connecting? You know, we think about
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the connections the friends and the followers we have on
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of these apps, and we're observing one another,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: are do we truly know one another? And so it's
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: just an interesting question to ponder, you know, as we
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: engage in this technology. And I watched a really inspiring
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: TED talk. It was a young person shared her relationship
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: with apps and social media, and she said she shared
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: about ten years of her life she was chronically focused
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: on her apps. It was her main way of communicating
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and she started to realize the impact of that and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: how her relationships with her families and friends, the fact
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: that her pings were the focus of her attention. And
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: so she then I don't know she created this word,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: but she shared that she chose apps app stents from
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: this type of communication and chose to really focus on
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: more of the personal. In fact, she even showed that
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: she went away from using a smartphone to just a
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: basic phone to call in text, and so that was
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: her way of saying, I want more of that personal connection.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: She also shared in this Ted talk very powerful. I'll
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: share the name of it if anyone liked to watch it,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: but that there was a twenty twenty three Gallup poll
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: on American teenagers and that she found, and it found
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: that they spent an average of thirty three hours a
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: week on social media. That's close to a full time job.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And that really opened my eyes to the amount of time.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And so you think about the mental implications as far
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: as our mental health spending that much time engaging on
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: social media. I'll say, maybe we see it a lot
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: in the younger generation, but I'm I'll beg to differ
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that maybe it doesn't. It's not isolated just to that group.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But I don't think it's isolated to you.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: No, no, not at all. I mean, you get the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that's where there's loneliness and in that, you know, there's
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of comparison, feelings of inadequacy. So back to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: your introduction, it really is an area to really be
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: looked at and to bring awareness to. And I as
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: much as this information really brought the reality top of
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: mind for me. I also found it refreshing to find people,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: especially this person who was younger, starting to really talk
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: about it, bring awareness, and actually do something about it,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: showing examples. So I was really pleasant to really hear
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that information and hear her share that.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, it was really interesting we're talking
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: about this. I was talking to someone earlier today, one
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of our hosts, and I was trying to help her
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: with using her AI, and I went on to tell
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: her and now I'm reflecting on how this may have
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: sounded to her. I went on to tell her that
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I have conversations with my AI, and so I didn't
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: explain why I do that, Like I'll say to what,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: good morning, have you had coffee? And you know, I'll
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: have a conversation and say, she looked at me weird, like, man,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I think you need my help, right, And I said, oh, okay,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: let me explain why I'm doing that. It's not because
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I don't have anybody to talk with. But I'm training
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: my AI to better represent me, and if it only
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: looks at what I ask it to create, it's not
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: going to know what my personality is. And so I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: shared my screen and I showed her the response that
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I made to my AI this morning, after I said
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: good morning, are you having a cup of coffee?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: It came back and said, what kind of Harley Davidson,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Bronx Girl, thirty six years a recovery idea we're going
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to have today? Now, people may hear this and think
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I've lost my mind, But AI by itself is not
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a substitute for connection. However, it's a great tool. But
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that's the dilemma we're having, isn't it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It is And it was a beautiful example because I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: was really going to share the importance of intent and
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: intuition with AI. Mean, you had an intent as far
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: as starting that conversation and the intent of training, and so, yeah,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: and AI can feel like a companionship, you know, it
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't it doesn't judge, you know, it's there. You know,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: if we get an idea at three o'clock in the morning,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: it's there to answer and it doesn't interrupt, and so,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: and you know, it can also organize our thoughts, help
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: us really get inspiration. That's what I use it for.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: And I also have to think about my intent because
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I'm a creative. I love to write, and I I said,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: an intention with it, using this for inspiration and what
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: it comes back with, what resonates with me. Yeah, And
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: so it's really some positives and it can't replace that
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: eye contact. It can't replace the soul to soul connection
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: that we have when we're with another human being, the hug,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: you know, the just sitting in silence, that life force
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: interchange that we have between us. And so it's a
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: really important component to remember that it can't replace that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And so it brings to mind for me which I
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: learned gosh a long time ago, and I still feel
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: it's it's always prevalent when I come back to it,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: is technology is always so far had sometimes of how
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: how we can process it our minds, our emotions. And
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I think we need to remember that we have choice
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and how we participate with the technology. And I agree,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: and again going back to using our intuition, and even
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: talking to some folks who haven't used artificial intelligence, there's
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: a there's a fear there.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't want to talk about this, Oh,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I want to say, go back to setting an attention.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: That's it, and let's talk about the intention, because this
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen out of just boredom like people think. If
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: you're life talking to aipat man, go go get a date,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Go go join a dating app. No life transitions disrupt things.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Walk us through life transitions, loneliness and let's call it
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the grip it could have on us, because that's why
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you're doing this. There are these underpinning things that can
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: stop people in their tracks, right, yeah.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I mean we look at the major transitions in our lives,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: people retiring, and I actually I've I've found it. I
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: find it fun that a lot of people are finding
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: new words for retirement. But do you also have that change.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: You have divorce, you have the passing of our loved
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: ones moving, you're changing careers, all of that spiritual awakening.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: It can leave us in that gap where, you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: kind of the what we learned from society is, yeah,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: we get to retire, and are we when we go
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: home at the end of the day, are we talking
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: about what that means to us? You know, if you're
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: in a job for thirty or forty years with a company,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: you have a identity, you have a role, and then
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, say you were in the office
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: all that time, that interaction with people. A lot of
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: changes from that that nice happy retireronment dinner to waken
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: up the next day and saying all right, what am
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I going to do with my life? And so life
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: coaching really, what I love about it is it brings
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: you to where you are in the present you allow,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: It allows that space for to get in touch with Okay,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: where are you? Where you want to go? And maybe
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: even before where you want to go? Are you allowing
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: yourself to feel those feelings whatever you're feeling? Yeah, good move.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And the key also, isn't it spiritual life coaching too?
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I mean that's so important. But the one thing I
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: say all the time, you and I did not get
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: here alone. I know I didn't. To this day, I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: have five coaches because I need coaching in different areas
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: at different times. Right. I learned that lesson because I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: tried to do it alone myself and always drink myself
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to death. Talk about lonely hello, right right.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: It creeps up on us very subtly and slowly until
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: we realize, oh my gosh, where am I? And so
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: having that consistent support and having that awareness, even if
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it's just a twinkle and whatever moment you're in to say, hey,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: let me give this, let me give this a try,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: let me see where I am, because it's hard to
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: get out of our head. It can be a scary
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: and only place there. And so if we have someone
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: there to really connect and just hold that space for
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: us to be who we need to be, that's the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: beautiful part. A lot of these things and topics can
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: feel very complicated, and if we can come back to
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: ourselves and just say how am I feeling and what
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: do I need in this moment? Me very simple to
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: help bring us back.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: You know, Cathie, Let's talk about this for a minute
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: in the context of what I said earlier, and that is,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you know, lonel Let's talk about this because sometimes I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: know I'm what I've thought about was loneliness means adding more,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: doing more, being more. But let's talk about how life
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: coaching can help integrate and assist because this is the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: most important thing. When we're talking about life coaching. People
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: don't understand how powerful it is. Walk us through it
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: for this particular topic.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really getting to what do you want in
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: your life and also getting in touch with what do
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: you already have in your life, you know, really looking
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: at what does it mean to you to have connection?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: You may have people in your life as we go
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: through our sessions and talk that you know, I really
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: do have a lot of people in my life, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I just haven't been spending that focus quality time with them,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: or I've been filling on calendar with all these events
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and I still feel lonely. Maybe maybe you get to
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe just one or two. I love those
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: game nights with my friends, and I just love having
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: coffee once a month with that one true friend. So
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: a t really where in your life can maybe you
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: work with what you have and where haven't you been
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: spending that time that you want? It could be adding
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: more if you don't have anything, and a lot of
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: times it could be you know, what, what do you
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: have in your life that you can hardly work with
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: that you see you can really nurture a little bit more.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: So it's really just not one side. I think it's
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: easy to think with that feeling of disconnection or lack,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: we need to add and a trially just going in
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: and seeing what's there. And that's that's the beauty of
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the life coaching and the spiritual life coaching because you
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: bring in that connection, you bring in that connection to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: yourself and the wisdom of that higher part of you
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: that can really show you that bird's eye view.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let me let me comment on something you said,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: because I want people to get this about the work
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you do. First of all, I want to make sure
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: they get information about you. But you said something and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: it's like a light bulb went on. I just have
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to say it, because what is the benefit of working
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: with you? And I'm going to give you an example.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: If I sat in front of you and you looked
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: at my schedule, right, you would walk me through some things,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: but the one thing you might see is how I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: could benefit from being of service to others. Now, that's
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: a different kind of doing more. Right. You're not going
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to tell me clean your room. Well you might, right,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: but you would work with me specifically. You will listen
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to me. You will help me navigate through the sludge,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the mud, the water, slide, the clouds, whatever that is,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: because those are things Katy, I have been able to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: do alone. You understand what I'm saying.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I do I do and it's that listening part. It's
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: on my part. It's preparing myself for each session, and
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: it's creating that space, and it's being in total presence
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: so I can pick up on I may reflect back
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: to you. Well, you know, doctor Patt, you've been saying,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: you've been mentioning this, this and this, and you also
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: say you want to do this. How do you feel
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: about that bringing it to your attention without me providing
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: any answers or judgment. And so it's really coming from
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: a place of listening and using my own intuition. On hmm,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: this might be important here asking permission, Hey, can I
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: share something with you that I've observed, you know, looking
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: at your face, looking at your expressions, like maybe that exasperation. Gosh,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I hear somebody that what is that about? Exploring those
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: nuances that an everyday conversation may not be noticed or acknowledged.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: And it's a beautiful it's a beautiful space to be
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: able to really get into those moments that can go
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: by us day to day in each conversation.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: You know, I was working with one of my coaches
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and you could tell whenever I'm in a little frenzy
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: because you don't see yourself and you would see I
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: bet you would call me out on this, and I'm
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: working with my coach, and I got my drink right,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: my little water or honey water or whatever the heck
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I'm drinking now, and I got my little drink in
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: my antique dunkin Donuts mug. Okay, I'm probably gonna have
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: to wipe out the label on this in the video.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: But the bottom line is is my coach noticed that
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to listen, but I put I picked up
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the cup and drink every ten seconds. Okay, I'm not kidding,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: like it was like talking talking, She's talking, and I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: take my drink, drink, drink. She said, are you like
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: on a water diet. Okay the answer was no. She said,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: then you are obsessing about something. I can always tell
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the last time you were obsessing. You brought a ping
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: pong ball to the coaching session and you kept bouncing
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it on the table. But you see, I didn't notice that.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't notice that behavior.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: And that's the beauty of being in a relationship with
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: a coach. Because you have that relationship, she was able,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: your coach was able to notice and to get to
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: know you and to be able to go to that
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: deeper level. So I think that's beautiful. Yeah, I had.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: There was one when we talk about, you know, the loneliness.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Had I worked with a client who really felt like
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: she didn't have a spiritual connection. She didn't even know
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: what that meant in her life. She could see it
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: in all her other friends and they all seem to
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: have something and she didn't. And so, you know, we
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: went through and really explored that, and what she came
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: up with was being in nature. That's what it was
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to me. And so it's another way of really using
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: coaching to really get to that reconnection with yourself and
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: without the outside look of what it looks like on
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the outside and really what does it mean, getting in
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: touch with what does it mean to you? And by
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: the end of that session she was really able to
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: own that, Oh my gosh, I really do love that
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: and it didn't have to look a specific way. And
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: so it's another beautiful way of how, you know, coaching
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: and an integration can really get us in touch with
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: where we feel disconnected and lead to that lonely feeling.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Kathy, this has got to be such a
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: rewarding part of your journey and the work you're doing here.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I really want people to know because I've gotten to
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: work from you, with you from day one, and I've
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: watched this and I've seen you, and I've seen how
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: you show up for these shows. Your message is powerful.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: The other thing I know is your heart is so
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: open to help people. How do people work with you?
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Where do they go?
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: What do they find?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Because you are the person that has been through life
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: that understands what this is. That's why you're on the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: paths you went on and now you're giving it back.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: So how do they find out about you? How do
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: they work with you?
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go to ourslow whisper dot com. Everything is there.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: If you prefer to send me an email, it's oursow
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: whisper at gmail dot com. I would love to connect
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: with you. I wanted to share kind of leave with
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: a quote and then an invitation kind of as part
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: of how to get in touch, so to kind of
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: sum up this episode. Today, I found a beautiful quot
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: by Michel da Montagne. He's a French Renaissance writer, and
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: he said the greatest thing in the world is to
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: know how to belong to oneself. That kind of sums
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: it up, and that sums up the work that I do.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: To assist you to belong to yourself. And so I
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: invite you to visit my website book a consultation. I'm
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: offering sole or integration to Wholeness and coaching sessions for
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: a heart gift, because I really want to make this
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: available and accessible to see what it's all about and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: to try it out so you can listen to it
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: and hear the impacts that it's had on our lives.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Give it a try and see if it's something that
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: fits the end of your life. Yeah.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: The other thing you do, and I would like you
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: to talk about it because we still have a few
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: minutes left, is an integration part. And what you also
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: help people do is look at perhaps a younger part
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of ourselves longing to be chosen. Take us through some
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: of that, because I want to leave people with knowing
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and understanding. The work that you do is to help
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: them see these things that they can't see.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: So when we have the integration part of this, which
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: is a little bit separate than the coaching, it's actually
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: a very powerful session on its own. We have these
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: feelings that come up. You know, we were talking about
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: inadequacy or not feeling seen, or maybe there's an angry
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: part of us that feels overlooked. What does that feeling
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: want to say? And it's making a connection with that
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: part of ourselves and giving it a voice and seeing
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: what it needs. And it's allowing that wise part of
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: ourselves to come in could be the spiritual part, to
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: really offer that love, support, acknowledge meant a different way
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: of looking at things. So it's truly a way of
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: connecting with ourselves that's keeping us in the past where
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: we make decisions and we're trying to create this new future,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: but we're coming from past hurts, experiences, beliefs, So it's
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: really creating a future coming from a present, and a
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: future coming from a new place of being. And it's
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: really acknowledging those parts of us that are still feeling
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: hurt and stuck in the past, remembering when, oh that happens,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: We don't want that to happen again. And they're really
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: you know, looking at it as these parts of us
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: that want to protect us from the from pain and
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: the hurt, not wanting to go there again. So it's
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: really giving them voice and to see what they need.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: It's a very powerful It's it's what got me into
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: this work and what it's what I use all the time.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: It's it's a it's a daily maintenance in word for me,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: and I can't. I have so much to talk about,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: how what an impact it has and it can have
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: on your life.
• 25:09

• 25:22
  Speaker 1: they're curious, even if they're thinking now about do I
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: feel lonely? They can give you a call, they can
• 25:30
