This is going to be a very uncurated I don't have my mic. I needed to record. I wanted to record. I I'm in my house which is completely upside down right now because it was, ⁓ you know, collapsed and ⁓ we had a flood and If you don't know that whole thing, it's over on my Instagram and my highlights. But a year later, we're moved out again because of fiberglass contamination. So ⁓ am coming off of 12, 13 months of just immense stress and trauma, ⁓ addition to 20 years. And so my here to Bird a Branch, Federal Treasure's Bird a Branch podcast, is to be a soft landing. A place where you'll feel understood, a place where I can share stories that are pretty unbelievable, but also I am clear intuitively ⁓ many of you have similar stories and have been through ⁓ hard things. And it feels really lonely. ⁓ And it feels, know, we create stories in our head that like nobody really understands what we've been through. ⁓ And so really want to if I'm if I'm looking away, it's because I'm That's how I I'm looking at the trees. The trees and I trees are my allies. You're hear ⁓ stories of that that will trigger you, so I'm just putting that out there. there are ⁓ I have through some really hard things. Assault, abuse, sexual shootings, fires, crashes ⁓ I'm just putting it out there. But the only reason I want to share some of the things that I've been through is because through personal experience and then professional experience, because I went back to school my holistic health practitioner ⁓ ⁓ be trauma-informed coach. And so ⁓ my personal experience and in my professional experiences coaching people one on one and understanding the world better and why people function the way that they do, I have So many tools that have literally saved me. And so I want to be able to share that with you because I feel like just this in in many of my experiences where I was very close to dying, ⁓ I ⁓ my in deepest faith in my relationship with God, I negotiated that I would be of service in any way. And ⁓ my to show up here on a different platform ⁓ to some of the things that I've been through in the name of helping you guys. Whoever feels called to stay feel more understood, more heard, more seen, less alone ⁓ validated ⁓ all the beliefs and ⁓ emotions maybe just ⁓ confusion ⁓ lostness, that word? ⁓ That you feel ⁓ in this or today. if this video is finding me finding you, I really I I take that as a sign. ⁓ I don't think anything is random. I think everything is is divinely orchestrated. I do think we have free will. Just want to put that out there. I'm sweating right now because I was just this house. But I to invite you to just new ⁓ to listen and talk with me. cause will be communicating you guys ⁓ and ⁓ I want this be place where I can ⁓ This isn't a place for me to come trauma dump, but it is a place for me to share some of the deeper, harder things that I've been through while offering to navigate really hard, deep, dark times, ⁓ maybe just a really hard chapter in your life. The reality is they are all the product some really shitty ⁓ that bad people, ⁓ but some hard things that you've been through as a child and ⁓ some traumatic experiences that you've you've endured. And most of us, like humans do, ⁓ belief systems ⁓ ⁓ then reflect the that we make. around us, whether it's platonic or romantic, and can be brutal. ⁓ so I want to highlight the good, but I also want to validate the hard and feel this is the to do it. So if you feel called stay, what you get here ⁓ is ⁓ a trained professional because am certified in informed coaching. I'm a holistic health practitioner, so anything from alternative sorts of I my family and my clients alternatively. So, like I use ⁓ pharma, I don't medication unless I absolutely have to, which we haven't yet. ⁓ So I can offer for viruses and chronic health issues because I've walked that walk and also I'm certified in that area. I want to offer you guys ⁓ different lens ⁓ ⁓ and father wounds ⁓ how those develop and how we all have them, ⁓ those further and how those end ⁓ drawing ⁓ certain of interactions and relationships in the world, ⁓ how forms the lens in which we see and take in the world, ⁓ how ⁓ because of those wounds ⁓ we ⁓ hear. the messaging from our partners accurately because it's running through the filter of the wounded inner child what happened to you. ⁓ it's not your fault. Whatever have been through, it is not your fault. ⁓ And I feel like that's really important to say because ⁓ While I do believe life happens for us for the greater evolution of our soul, do believe all of us came here with soul contracts. I do believe all of us came here signed up for certain soul lessons. ⁓ yes, that includes some suffering, ⁓ it is not your fault ⁓ happened to you. And that can small T trauma, big T trauma, and everything in between. That means, ⁓ you know. Trauma is not defined by what happened to you, it's defined by the experiencer, which is you or me or all of us. I want to offer tools ⁓ heal. ⁓ one of the main ⁓ important things that I want to teach you guys is to regulate your nervous system. Because in the end, I've noticed over 15 years of being in practice, everyone ⁓ has some level of trauma. Has a dysregulated nervous system, which then out into how our our reaction, our reactivity nah hello, ⁓ our in the world to our relationships, to what we hear, our moods, our mental our physical health, ⁓ it is nervous system because everything that you have been through, your body. listens to your thoughts. It stores everything. The book, The Body Keeps the Score is excellent, highly recommend. it's the cells that keep the memory of everything. And so ⁓ really want to teach you guys the tools that have actually saved me ⁓ all of my years of trauma ⁓ I know have saved many, many clients ⁓ are simple, ⁓ accessible, and I don't feel like you should have to pay for them. So trying to make a space where you can come and and learn some things. guys, my eyes hurt so bad from this fiberglass. learn some things that will be helpful to you where you can just come listen, ⁓ watch, also if you're if you're wanting to do that. I have so n knowledge and I mean from like a ⁓ I'm a guru, I am a guru. I am very much a student. ⁓ I am also a teacher. But I forever will be a student and every single day I learn more about myself ⁓ we humans function in the world and why and how each soul's journey is so different, but how seriously connected we are. And know that can be annoying to hear, especially depending on like what state you're in, ⁓ but promise you I have been in the darkest ⁓ of many times. And I have come through. I have been on the other side. I have died and come back. So I feel like I some things to offer you, and I hope that you stay. I to just speak to really quick the title. if you're familiar with Vital Treasures, which is my brand, it is Vital a Nod to Traditional Chinese medicine, Three Treasures, which is mind body and spirit. That's the most simplistic, Translation of the three treasures in TCM. ⁓ on a branch came to me in a plants plant medicine ceremony because human design I am a projector and projectors ⁓ are to see. ⁓ So, for my if I'm in session with a client coaching, I have given the ability to see with my mind's of of ⁓ a vision of someone's childhood that's applicable to why they're coming to me for help. I can see ⁓ a bird on a branch. I can see further down the path than a lot of people ⁓ I everyone's given abilities and ⁓ and I think ⁓ a lot of us spend time very overstimulated overwhelmed and knowing what to do with them. So I ⁓ I want to you guys ⁓ To hone in on your spiritual gifts as well, because God has given all of us, or source, or a creator, or whatever you believe in, has given us all the ability to see, hear, and understand and know if we just learn to listen. on a Branch came to me in a plant medicine ceremony because, I'm a projector ⁓ and was shown to but also. ⁓ That is how I see ⁓ need to tell you. That is that when I'm channeling ⁓ I'm getting messages through crown chakra, like in a session or even ⁓ on podcast, it will happen. and it ha has happened. I see it I'm a bird on a branch. The other thing about bird on a branch is that ⁓ the bird doesn't flying, feeding. Building, going, doesn't stop ⁓ on the conditions around it. It when to protect itself, it knows when to build, but when it lands on a branch, it trusts that it has chosen the right branch that will hold it up. ⁓ And to that is metaphoric metaphor for trusting process of life. And ⁓ that is so what I wanna try to try to teach you guys as well, because it is hard. It is hard to life when life keeps throwing things at you and if you have faith that will help you if you have faith in something that will help significantly but that bird on that branch even on the windiest of days and it's super windy here still chooses that branch and it trusts that branch and think it's a beautiful ⁓ metaphor ⁓ what do ⁓ for my life has been which I share ⁓ throughout these I'm I'm I'm nervous. I'm not gonna tell you I'm not I'm not feeling very vulnerable. I am. It's a vulnerable, deep, hard shares that I'm planning on sharing here, but it's in the name of of serving the collective so that people don't have to feel alone and suffer alone. that's a little explanation on the name of of my my the episode the show. And not a show. It's just like a community ⁓ that just putting out there in a different forum and platform.

I'm I'm just try here trying to help. And I want you to have some some idea what you're coming here for. So without going too far, you know, spending thirty minutes talking about it, ⁓ you're gonna ⁓ emotional, spiritual, ⁓ lifestyle support. Deep dives on mother father wounds, relationships, emotions, teaching about emotions because surprisingly most of my clients had no idea what their true emotions were when they came to me after years of being in cognitive behavioral therapy. They're still not healed because C B T C B T doesn't into trauma the way that I do. your with your s your family, your parents, your friends, ⁓ yourself. How to heal that, how to hear your inner child heal it. I to talk about ⁓ astrology. It's that I believe God gave us as a map. I will reference it often. I might aliens. ⁓ I might I might and ⁓ hello? Is in It's not. I might mention things are considered woo ⁓ those things have saved my Every day I pray at my altar, I meditate, I clear our house and each family member with certain smoke like Palo Santo and dragon's blood and I wear crystals programmed to do certain things and I have my rituals that keep me protected spiritually and energetically. I am a huge believer in energy. We are all energy and we are all impacted by what happens around us and what happens to us slash for us. And so I am here to try and help you.
