Transcript
- 0:00Anybody that has an eating disorder is constantly thinking about food. It
- 0:03literally consumes your mind. We think they're secretive eating
- 0:07disorders. They're actually an energetic frequency and vibration that
- 0:10we're portraying to the world that we're not even aware of. Planning out
- 0:13your meals is essential. Regular meals is really important and
- 0:17they don't have to be when society tells you they need to be. I feel
- 0:20yuck about this. A binge eater would understand. You're literally just
- 0:24sitting in front of the fridge just eating everything out of it. And then you throw
- 0:27all the food away because you're like, I've got to stop. And then you'll go to the bin and be like,
- 0:31I'm going to eat out of the bin. I can't believe I've gotten to this level. It gets that
- 0:35bad. Welcome Wisdom Keepers,
- 0:38Soul Tribe and New Earth Leaders to Soul Temple, your
- 0:42haven for self-discovery and growth. I'm Blythe Langford
- 0:46and I am your guide to finding yourself and your true,
- 0:49true, true, true, true purpose. Together, let's shift
- 0:53from feeling stuck and misaligned to living a life of
- 0:56purpose and prosperity. I
- 1:00suffered with binge eating for probably about 30 years. It was...
- 1:06one of the most challenging things that I've ever, I
- 1:09don't know if you ever overcome something, but something that I've integrated into
- 1:13my life. And that's why I'm really passionate about sharing more
- 1:17on this topic with so many people. For me, I
- 1:20remember like my binge eating started from
- 1:25being in a family where we were not allowed to leave the table unless
- 1:28we ate all of our food. And I was the eldest of four kids, and
- 1:33in order to protect them so they didn't get hurt or hit, I
- 1:37would eat not only my food, but I would eat their food as well,
- 1:40just so that we could get out
- 1:43of the war zone because it was literally a war zone in our household every single
- 1:47night with this eating thing. It was awful. I don't know
- 1:51if my siblings remember it, but I remember being tortured with food as a kid and
- 1:55it was just awful. My relationship with food really
- 1:58young was just not good. It was
- 2:02really weird because mum being quite narcissistic,
- 2:06she'd always try and you
- 2:09know, reward us with food and then want us to eat so much food. And
- 2:12it was just, oh, it was awful. It was just like a spiral out of control. And
- 2:16that's what really led to it being a spiral out of control my
- 2:19whole life. And I look back at moments in time, like
- 2:22in my teenage years when I was really needing support and help. and
- 2:26I didn't have anybody and that was a time where I put on a lot of weight and I turned
- 2:30to my eating disorder to help me because I didn't know how
- 2:33to self-soothe. And my eating disorder helped me
- 2:37soothe myself in some way, shape or form. It helped me
- 2:40numb out the feelings and the pain that I was suffering with. Then
- 2:44when I got into my 20s and 30s, like at different times,
- 2:48it did come back. And it did pop
- 2:52up when I felt really stuck or overwhelmed or
- 2:57wasn't getting the nutritional content or value that I actually needed
- 3:00from my food. And so now as an older
- 3:03woman and somebody that studied many different diets,
- 3:07modalities, naturopathic nutrition, raw vegan chef
- 3:11and holistic coaching and health coaching
- 3:15and all of the things, really finding so
- 3:20many stable tools that have helped me, that also
- 3:23help my clients with this interesting
- 3:28eating disorder. Because it's not like you're starving yourself
- 3:32constantly, but you do like to starve yourself at times because,
- 3:36yeah, well, let's go into it, what binge eating actually
- 3:40is. Because binge eating, unlike anorexia,
- 3:44is a style of eating where you eat so
- 3:48much in one sitting, like literally just non-stop, non-stop,
- 3:51non-stop, non-stop, to the point where you could vomit. And
- 3:55then you become so full that you might not be able to eat for a
- 3:59day. So, it's not like you have anorexia, but
- 4:03there's anorexic tendencies in there as well, and of course, body
- 4:06dysmorphia comes along with it too. So,
- 4:10that's how I would be. I would eat so much food,
- 4:14and then literally the next day when I woke up, still
- 4:18feel ill with the thought of even eating, and
- 4:21I couldn't eat any more food. I also mentioned in
- 4:24a previous episode about our nervous system responses because
- 4:27there is four main basic ones that everybody knows about, fight, fright,
- 4:31freeze or fawn, but they don't know about the additional two, which
- 4:35is fucking and feasting. And
- 4:38that's what binge eating is. It's just a nervous system
- 4:42response because we don't know how to be in the world. We
- 4:45don't know what is going on. And we fall back into this old
- 4:49part of ourselves that just comforts ourself with food or is
- 4:53dying for external love or validation that from a caregiver that
- 4:57was feeding us love, like our mother or our caregiver, just
- 5:01instead of loving on us, would just feed us and feed us and
- 5:04feed us. So that's a little bit about that. It's
- 5:08about consuming large quantities of food
- 5:12in short periods of time. And then it's often felt
- 5:16with a feeling of extreme loss of control as
- 5:20well. Yet it's what gives us our control too.
- 5:24Now people can be like, oh yeah, but I eat lots of food in
- 5:27one period of time. It's like, okay, I'm talking
- 5:30about potentially eating a week's worth of food in one
- 5:34sitting. That's what binge eating is. People are like, Oh,
- 5:38radio, yeah, no, I eat big meals. Yes, it's completely
- 5:42different. People often do this in secret as well because
- 5:46they're so ashamed of feeling so
- 5:49out of control that they try and grasp for any sense
- 5:53of control in this overeating behaviour. It
- 5:57can even get to the point where Oh,
- 6:00this is so vulnerable. And it's like, bleh, I feel yuck about
- 6:03this. But generally, a binge eater would
- 6:06understand. So it can even be to the point where you're literally
- 6:10just sitting in front of the fridge, just eating everything out of it. And then
- 6:13you throw all the food away because you're like, I've got to stop. And I don't know
- 6:16how to stop myself. And then you'll go and have a shower to help yourself feel
- 6:20better. And then you'll go to the bin and be like, I'm going to eat out of the
- 6:23bin. I can't believe I've gotten to this level. It gets that
- 6:26bad. It's horrendous. So
- 6:31yeah, anybody that's suffering with binge eating,
- 6:35I understand. And hopefully this episode
- 6:38will give you like quite a few tools and tips that
- 6:42will really help with your binge eating as well. So binge eating
- 6:45is a really common one for women that are in business, that
- 6:48are busy, that are leaders and entrepreneurs. It's extremely
- 6:52common because we can't be anorexic because We
- 6:57need to eat so that we can have our business thrive. And we
- 7:00generally are so controlling in our business, especially women
- 7:03that are in hustle mentality. Binge eating is so huge
- 7:07for women that are in hustle, right? So it's still we're
- 7:11really strong and confident in our business, yet there's this
- 7:14underlying uncontrollable urge within us that we're not
- 7:18really present with or understand completely. And binge
- 7:21eating is a way for us to gain control or to have greatest
- 7:25rapport with this younger part of ourselves that
- 7:28is unhealed and unintegrated. Because I know within myself
- 7:32and with a lot of my clients, it's when we have greatest rapport with our
- 7:35mom, we have the binge eating. Because
- 7:39when we're in our businesses, we actually have greatest rapport with our
- 7:42father and our father figure. So it's a
- 7:45way for us to create balance in our lives because we don't want
- 7:49to be seen as too masculine in our business, being this amazing
- 7:53leader who's so courageous. And people, I know they've said
- 7:56this to you as well, you're like, you're really masculine, you know, it's
- 7:59like, um, and you believe it at times and then
- 8:02you balance it out with this overrating because
- 8:06you can control that and you can balance out the masculine
- 8:10and the feminine wounding, which is, Shit, right?
- 8:13Like, it feels shit to do this. But it's an unconscious program
- 8:17that we do to help ourselves become back in touch with the feminine
- 8:20because it's awful when people tell you that you're
- 8:24a masculine woman. When you're not, you're a fucking fierce woman leader.
- 8:28Like, that's all it is. But there's this younger part of us that
- 8:31has been put down and suppressed when we were children, generally
- 8:35by other women. That makes us feel like
- 8:38we are masculine and different when we're not. We're just courageous leaders.
- 8:42And when people have said these things to us in our business, it does make
- 8:45us feel out of control. So that's why we go back home as well and
- 8:49we fall back into our binge eating because we feel out of control
- 8:52in some way. We're not completely in control of our emotions and
- 8:56somebody's words have literally just triggered this younger part of us
- 9:00that puts us into a nervous system response spiral and
- 9:03drops us back into binge eating. So it's really important to
- 9:07be aware of when we are coming into this
- 9:10binge eating response and realizing that it's
- 9:13just a younger part of ourselves that feels really unsafe and
- 9:17really unseen and we're acting out of our
- 9:20nervous system. So self-regulation can be a beautiful one for
- 9:23this, but we'll go into that in a little bit. Rapid eating continuously without
- 9:27pausing. You don't even notice yourself chewing a lot of
- 9:31time and you don't even notice yourself tasting the food or
- 9:34enjoying your food. That's another sign that
- 9:37you're binge eating. emotional eating as well.
- 9:41So rather than dealing with
- 9:45what's gone on in our day, we just come home and we're using food as
- 9:48a coping mechanism. So to manage and alleviate
- 9:54our emotions. It might be stress, it might be sadness, it
- 9:57might be boredom. Sometimes it's even happiness and joy, like
- 10:00we've just got nobody to experience it with. So we
- 10:04fall back into our comfort spot and we go to our eating
- 10:07disorder because it's actually easier to be with our
- 10:12eating disorder than it is to celebrate ourself with others. So
- 10:15it depends on your emotional past
- 10:19and your emotional suppression to how your binge
- 10:22eating will actually come out and be exposed
- 10:26to yourself. It's also eating beyond fullness. So
- 10:30what I mean by that is, you know that you're already full,
- 10:34but your brain is telling you that you're not full. so you continually
- 10:38eat, tricking yourself. I know that my mind used to do this as
- 10:41well. It would trick me. It's like, no, no, no, I'm not full. I can still eat more. I can still eat more. Yet
- 10:44my stomach is extended so far, I can feel
- 10:48that the food is up to my throat. I literally can't get
- 10:51anything else in, but I'll keep on going because it's actually alleviating
- 10:55the suffering that I'm feeling inside or the pain or the discomfort that
- 10:59I'm feeling inside. It's almost like,
- 11:03I'm sure you get this too if you do have binge eating, it's like
- 11:06there's this entity that just takes you over, that
- 11:09you just are not in control of. And it's like you're
- 11:13in there witnessing yourself just eating and eating and eating, and
- 11:16yet you still can't gain control of it. So it becomes like
- 11:19this point where it gets to the point of discomfort and pain. And
- 11:22then once you've finished eating and you literally cannot
- 11:26eat anymore, then the secrecy and shame of it
- 11:29as well. We shame ourselves so bad with it, like
- 11:33literally beat ourselves up so bad that we can't even eat the next
- 11:37day. Sometimes it might even be two days and people are like, wow, how
- 11:40could you not eat for two days? It's like, I am so full of food, I
- 11:43literally cannot eat anymore. And then the embarrassment about
- 11:47eating, the eating behavior and leading to the hiding food
- 11:51or eating alone to avoid judgment. These are all common
- 11:54threads of binge eating. And
- 11:57then the frequent dieting because you're always extending yourself
- 12:01and then shrinking, extending yourself and then shrinking. So it
- 12:05just like you're yo-yoing all the time. So engaging in
- 12:08repeating cycles and restricting dieting, followed by
- 12:11episodes of binge eating, often feeling trapped in a cycle of
- 12:15depreviation and then overeating. So it's just
- 12:19painful a lot of the time, isn't it? And
- 12:23the physical signs that you can often notice is fluctuations
- 12:27in weight. So you'll often
- 12:31need different clothes sizes at home because there'll be periods where you're
- 12:35a lot leaner because you've managed your eating disorder, or
- 12:38there'll be periods where you've really binged out because you've been
- 12:41through a really stressful period, and then there'll be clothes
- 12:44that you need to have at home that are bigger, that you hate yourself
- 12:48when you have to wear them. because it means you're out of control again
- 12:52and you've lost yourself. And then also gastrointestinal
- 12:56issues can often be a problem, so stomach bloating, stomach cramps
- 13:00and IBS is a very common one. Fatigue and
- 13:03lethargy are also really common as well. And
- 13:08of course, the psychological impacts. So experiencing distress,
- 13:12low self-esteem, negative emotions, always
- 13:16relating to the eating disorder that you probably aren't
- 13:19even telling people about. And it really impacts the quality of
- 13:22your life and how you function on a day-to-day basis.
- 13:26Because dealing not only with the eating disorder, but the shame of
- 13:30the eating disorder, and then they're not wanting to go out with people and then the nervousness
- 13:33of wanting to go out for dinner with your friends but then like, am I going to eat too
- 13:37much? Am I going to like binge? It's so tiring,
- 13:40isn't it? And it literally creates this preoccupation with
- 13:44food. So constantly thinking about food, like I know
- 13:48anybody that has an eating disorder is constantly thinking about
- 13:51food, like it literally consumes your mind. When
- 13:55am I going to be eating next? How am I going to be eating next? You'll literally be talking to somebody and
- 13:58all you can think about is your next meal, is your next meal, how much you're going to eat, what do
- 14:01you want to eat? And then every mirror that you see, you're constantly
- 14:05checking your body every day or wherever there's a scale.
- 14:08You want to weigh yourself so that you can literally compare
- 14:12yourself to yourself and how you
- 14:16are at your smallest and your leanest and to those around you.
- 14:19Am I better or worse than them? Am I right or wrong? Am I good or bad? Whatever
- 14:23your core wound is, it'll come up constantly as
- 14:27you go through and grow through your eating disorder.
- 14:32So triggers and patterns of binge eating are emotional eating
- 14:36caused by anxiety and stress, restricted
- 14:39eating during the day, so when
- 14:43you're really busy of course, like you're in this hustle mode, you're all about work
- 14:46and over and about business and overachieving that
- 14:49you literally like can't even get food in in that time
- 14:53because it's all about the work. So of course then what's going
- 14:56to happen later on at night when you're dehydrated and starving
- 15:00is you're going to fall back into overeating habits. And
- 15:04then this food can be used as a coping mechanism as
- 15:07well. I'm really excited to share some supportive strategies to
- 15:10help overcome this eating disorder, but then also some
- 15:14dietary tips that are also really supportive that
- 15:17have changed my life completely and
- 15:21nourish and support me so that I'm always the weight that I want to be,
- 15:25but from a place of health and vitality rather than from scarcity,
- 15:29shaming, and myself and lack. So mindful eating
- 15:33practices are so helpful and what I
- 15:36mean by this is slowing down. when
- 15:41you eat, chewing slower and really slowing down, watching
- 15:45what you're eating. If you're in a period or
- 15:48if you've come through a period when you've had extreme binge eating, then
- 15:53really try practicing this at home as well. Start off really
- 15:56doing this at home. You're going to prepare your food out, really
- 15:59know what you want to eat, and eating really slowly, watching the
- 16:03food as it's going in, cutting up your food really nice and
- 16:06small, chewing it a lot. Swallowing it completely before
- 16:10you take in the next meal, the next mouthful. So really
- 16:13trying that. And the thing that has helped me most
- 16:17in my life, I always thought it was because I was a Capricorn and Capricorns are amazing at
- 16:20planning, but it's really amazing for other business owners
- 16:24and women who are in hustle mentality, who are great planners. So
- 16:28planning out your meals is essential. So,
- 16:32knowing what you're going to eat for the next day, planning it out, like as a business
- 16:35owner, I used to prep my meals twice a week. Even as a raw vegan, I
- 16:39would prep my meals twice a week. So, I'd make meals for four
- 16:42days one day and then three days another day. I'd make my meals that I
- 16:45was going to have for the day so that I'd know exactly what I was going to have. Everything was
- 16:49organized. I didn't get into stress and overwhelm and chaos and
- 16:52everything was super controlled, but meant that I
- 16:56could relax, because with my organisation I
- 16:59could relax and my nervous system would not go into a fight, fright, freeze,
- 17:03fawn, fuck response and try and heal me with food.
- 17:07So I can't express enough how important
- 17:11preparation is. stress management techniques.
- 17:15Now for myself and my clients, I recommend any
- 17:19type of exercise, all types of exercise, and meditation
- 17:23and breath work. So in the morning I start off with meditation
- 17:27and breath work because they allow me to get out of my unconscious
- 17:31programming and back into my heart space and
- 17:34back into what it is that I'm here to do. And I know for myself that
- 17:38being in a space of organization
- 17:42and putting me back on my mission and my vision and my purpose is
- 17:45really important. So if you're in a heightened moment, just
- 17:49slow exhales. And if you're an anxious person, you
- 17:53can be like, I can't even breathe when I'm anxious. Totally. Hold
- 17:56your breath. Just hold your breath, sweetheart. Hold
- 17:59your breath for as long as you can and then slow long exhale. And
- 18:03then quick breath in, hold your breath, slow long exhale. Do
- 18:07that three times, it'll help you get back into your conscious brain. And then it will allow your
- 18:10nervous system to come back into its parasympathetic state, which
- 18:14is its rest and digest state, and you're not in your fight, fright, feasting
- 18:18stage. So you'll feel so much better. So slow, slow
- 18:22exhales is really, really important. and incorporating
- 18:26self-care routines as well into your daily structures. So
- 18:30really allocating those times to know that your
- 18:34meditation, your breath work. For me also running, like I
- 18:37run every day because I can't do yoga anymore due to a disability, but
- 18:41I run every day and I do breath work when I run. My whole run,
- 18:44yes for a complete hour, I am doing quick breaths in
- 18:48and slow long exhales. so that I am really
- 18:52realigning my nervous system and not overusing
- 18:56cortisol and just realigning with grace and with gratitude and
- 18:59with self-regulation. Now regular meals. Regular
- 19:04meals is really important and they don't have to be when society tells
- 19:07you they need to be because everybody are different. Some people like
- 19:11to eat in the morning so then I would say have like morning and
- 19:15have lunches be your biggest meal. or if you're like an afternoon
- 19:18eater. And this is a really good practice for binge eaters because we like to have periods
- 19:22where we don't eat generally. So if
- 19:25you were to do that, then you'd have your, like I said, your breakfast and
- 19:28then your lunch and then potentially maybe, you know, a smoothie or
- 19:31a drink for dinner. For myself, I love having no
- 19:35breakfast because sunshine is my breakfast. Listen to the previous episode
- 19:39about that. I love having my practices for my breakfast and
- 19:42then I'll have lunch and a big dinner. like a big lunch and
- 19:46a big dinner. And always throughout the
- 19:49day when I'm ready, I'll have anywhere from two to four litres of water. So
- 19:53depending on what I need, how much I've done in the day.
- 19:56But generally, I run for an hour every single day.
- 20:00I also run a farm. And for
- 20:03me, anywhere from two to four litres is perfect. And two huge
- 20:07meals are great for me. So, yeah,
- 20:10see what's going to work best for you. It might be the morning meals and
- 20:14then some period of fasting because I do believe that some
- 20:18period of fasting is really beneficial, especially for a binge eater. It
- 20:21allows you to still feel in control, but it also allows your body to
- 20:24detox anything that's coming up for you. Now
- 20:29with the practicing mindful eating, focusing on eating mindfully
- 20:33by paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, chewing
- 20:36thoroughly and savoring the taste and the texture in every single bite
- 20:41is great, like I mentioned, but avoiding distractions. So
- 20:46not eating whilst you're watching TV or using your
- 20:49devices is so amazing because when
- 20:52we're watching our device or watching TV or a program, we're
- 20:56not actually fully aware of us eating and
- 21:00as a binge eater you don't even know that you've actually eaten and because
- 21:03you're not aware of it your your body doesn't switch on
- 21:07to the fact that you have actually eaten and you'll need to eat way more. So
- 21:10really taking the time to turn your device off and and eating
- 21:14that way. For me, I make my evening meal like a
- 21:17ritual. I'll eat outside on the balcony, like yes,
- 21:21even in the middle of winter when it is freezing cold in the bush, it
- 21:24can get down to zero and I have got like ten jumpers
- 21:28on, two like thermal jackets, blankets
- 21:32and I'm outside with my candle and my dog and
- 21:36the beautiful fairy lights that you might see on my balcony and
- 21:39that's when I have my food and I listen to nature as well and
- 21:43just calm my nervous system. I say a prayer before I eat, do
- 21:48my gratitudes as well and then I eat my food. And
- 21:52because I'm away from the kitchen as well, I'm outside, it really
- 21:56allows me to tune in and slow down and
- 22:00then I don't overeat as well and I really enjoy and savour
- 22:03every mouthful and I love, love eating with nature like
- 22:07that. What can also help when you're deeply in this is
- 22:11seeking professional help. Now, it's
- 22:15a really tricky one because a lot of people will be like,
- 22:18yep, I'm going to go to a nutritionist. And it's like, yep, you can go to a nutritionist and
- 22:22then it's actually not
- 22:26just a physical issue that you're dealing with. There is
- 22:29a lot of psychological issues that you're dealing with here. Or you
- 22:33can go to a psychologist, but then there's the nutritional issues that
- 22:36you're also going through as well. So that's
- 22:39why it's really important to find somebody that can deal with
- 22:43all of it. Now myself being a
- 22:46naturopathic nutritionist, being a raw vegan chef, being a
- 22:50health coach, a business coach, a life coach, a
- 22:54rebirthing birthwork facilitator, trauma facilitator, all of these things
- 22:58means that the programs that I pop people through are specifically
- 23:03designed and personalized support and guidance to
- 23:07help people with where they're at and where they want to be and
- 23:10understanding the underlying triggers that are
- 23:13there and the underlying behaviors that are there and
- 23:17how we can incorporate them into your day and
- 23:21have them be your allies for success rather
- 23:24than suppressing them or avoiding them or pushing
- 23:29them away or trying to have them be something else
- 23:32because they're parts of you that aren't integrated now. You don't need
- 23:36to suppress them. And when we can incorporate them into our day,
- 23:39it's just these younger parts of us that we don't yet know how to love. And
- 23:43so we can learn to reparent ourselves because we weren't parented as
- 23:47effectively as needed as kids. And gosh,
- 23:50this will change your life forever. Gosh, this will change your business forever.
- 23:54Because we don't understand that when we are
- 23:59having these secretive, we think they're secretive eating
- 24:02disorders, that they are actually secretive. But they're
- 24:06actually an energetic frequency and vibration that we're portraying
- 24:09to the world that we're not even aware of. Everybody's aware that
- 24:13there's something incongruent within us And so
- 24:16it's allowing ourselves to be in congruence and in
- 24:19integrity within ourselves, which changes not
- 24:23only our eating disorder, but our business, our relationships, our
- 24:26relationship to self, our relationship to our worth, to
- 24:29nature. And a tailorized plan for
- 24:32you and your specific needs will literally change
- 24:36everything and will literally help the trajectory of your life because
- 24:40I know that when I was in eating disorder and
- 24:44when my clients come to me with eating disorders, you're
- 24:49like, far out. Am I still in this place? Am I
- 24:52a 30, 40, 50, 60 year old man or woman that
- 24:55still has an eating disorder? Haven't I, haven't
- 24:59I resolved this yet? And
- 25:02it's really tricky because we've tried help in the past, but it
- 25:05hasn't been a program or a product or a
- 25:09retreat or an event that's been able to amalgamate
- 25:13all of what's necessary for you to grow through
- 25:17and actually understand yourself at the deepest possible
- 25:20layers so that you can help heal this and
- 25:24be the best version of yourself for the rest of your life. So I'd love you to stay really
- 25:27aware of your behaviors and your patterns and notice is
- 25:31it in times of stress or is it in
- 25:34times of anxiety or where you feel completely out of control or
- 25:38where people have disempowered you that you fall back into these
- 25:41patterns of binge eating or eating disorder. remembering
- 25:48that you're not alone. You don't have to do this alone. I know that I've
- 25:52had people, like I said, that come to me in their 50s and 60s and
- 25:55they can't believe that they still have eating disorder. Or
- 26:00even in their 20s and 30s. And this is something that, because I'm
- 26:03so passionate about it, a lot of people of my clients that come to me, they're generally,
- 26:06this is something they're not yet mastered in as well. So this
- 26:10is why we really love to have This is why it's
- 26:13a really important part of everything that I do, whether it be the books
- 26:16that I put out there or the retreats that I have or the work that
- 26:20I do in the programs. It's vital that everybody understands
- 26:24what nutrition is and how it can really be a profound
- 26:28benefit to your life. And if it is something that you
- 26:31are struggling with and you want help with, please don't hesitate to reach out. You
- 26:35don't need to do this alone. It's really important that you reach out
- 26:38because Your body is vital. It's like
- 26:41your soul temple. It's the only one you get, you
- 26:45know, like you don't want to keep on hurting it or
- 26:48harming it. I know that. I know you know that. So
- 26:51this is just an invitation to find a new way.
- 26:55And I'm not saying that I've got all the answers, but I'm saying that I've got some answers
- 26:58that have helped me and helped a lot of other people. Um,
- 27:03yeah, I just, yeah, don't want people to suffer. It's
- 27:06so unnecessary in this world and in this time, you know, there's already
- 27:09so much suffering that we're going through as individuals and
- 27:13as a species. And it's, you know, if you can gain your
- 27:16power back in from this place, then you'd
- 27:19be unstoppable. And I know you know that. So I'm here for you
- 27:23when you're ready. Thank you for
