So 56 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: it's been incredibly humbling, it's been incredibly beautiful. It's been 57 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: incredibly invigorating every time I get the chance to connect 58 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: with those that connect with this show out in the world. 59 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: I've also come to this understanding from some of the 60 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: absolutely powerful messages that I received from so many that 61 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: listen to this show on my social media, through email, 62 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 1: and even through the really incredibly written reviews that so 63 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: many of you have gone out of your way to 64 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: share to express within the Apple Podcasts ratings.

Something a lot of you may know about me. 68 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: I've shared it a few times on my show and 69 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: my social media and for those that connected with my work. 70 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: Prior to maybe twenty sixteen, my first container for using 71 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: my voice and for expressing was when I worked within 72 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: the entertainment industry and I was a journalist and I 73 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: was a broadcaster, and I did that for over a decade, 74 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: and many of you know. Part of my story was 75 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: I got burned out that the conversations I really wanted 76 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: to have with people the rest of the world did 77 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 1: not yet seem fully open to all of those conversations, 78 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: and certainly in the environments that I worked, it was 79 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: not really celebrated the kind of questions I wanted to 80 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: ask or the conversations I wanted to have. And so 81 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: I decided to do something entirely different and to trust myself, 82 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: to trust my calling, and to listen to the whispers 83 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: of God. And create new ways that I was intended 84 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: to share myself and share my thoughts, and so a 85 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: lot of that led to much of the work that 86 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: I do now through my company Debbie Brown Wellbeing, the 87 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: work that I did for many years with Chopra, and 88 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: this podcast dropping Gems with Iheartened Black Effect Network. So 89 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: as we're coming to the close of season two, and 90 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, I want to shout out some of the 91 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: awesome guests I've had this season, doctor Shafali, who I love, 92 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: such a big fan of her work.

I mean, 109 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: we talked about astrology, we talked about intimacy, we talked 110 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: about men's sacred healing, men's mental health, and a lot 111 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: of some of the more somatic work that is so 112 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: expansive for men in this space. We taught.

And 127 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: let me just give us a little let me let 128 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: me drop some bombs that like really plays into like 129 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: my old radio days. I have an announcement to make. 130 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: The show is changing, this show dropping gems. As we 131 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: move into season three of my podcast, we are going 132 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: through our own internal and external transformation. When I first 133 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: thought about how I was going to kind of release 134 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: this information, some of the amazing people on the iHeart 135 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: team you shared with me like, you really need a 136 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: position this because you may not be aware of how 137 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: much the show in the current form it's in means 138 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: to people, and it might actually be a little jarring 139 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: to just start season three and not kind of speak 140 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: to the journey of the changes that you want to make. 141 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: I was really deeply appreciative of that insight and that 142 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: reframing because this show was such a massive part of 143 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: my life in one of the most challenging periods of 144 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: time for all of our lives, a pandemic and I 145 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: know that so many of us were really inside of 146 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: our own homes and very often by ourselves, connecting through 147 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: the vibrational power of this shared experience, even if we 148 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: were listening at different times. I know that is certainly 149 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: true for me. So I want to share with you 150 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: that the show is changing. The name of the show 151 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: is changing. The framework of the show will be the same. 152 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: The framework of the show will still be rooted in 153 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: this being a soft place to land and having really expansive, 154 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: sometimes very granular, deeply detailed conversations about the mechanics of 155 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: healing and growth and transformation and wellness and mental health. 156 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: All of that is staying. What is changing is the 157 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: name of the show and where the show is being recorded. So, 158 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: kicking off with season three, the podcast that was known 159 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: as Dropping Gems will now be known as Deeply Well 160 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: with Debbie Brown, the Deeply Well Podcast with Debbie Brown. 161 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: Deeply Well is a name that I came to because 162 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: I found that over the last few years that has 163 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: been my natural response when people ask me how I'm doing, 164 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: and I really kind of go inside and do a 165 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: gut check, especially when people in my innermost personal life 166 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: will ask me how I am you know that question, 167 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: a lot of us moved through so quickly just oh, 168 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm fine. We don't know, how are you doing? 169 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: You know, we returned the question almost before we even 170 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: finished giving a response to the question. And then I 171 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: noticed that none of us were actually sitting into the 172 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: answer that either was giving. And so when people in 173 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: my life asked me as how I'm doing, I try 174 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: to take a few moments and seconds to do a 175 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: gut check. Doesn't mean that i'm necessarily you know. It's 176 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: the time, the place, or the person that i'd be 177 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: sharing my innermost thoughts with. But I do really look 178 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: to settle into my spirit and come up with something 179 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: that is more than just saying I'm fine, I'm okay, 180 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: or I'm good or I'm bad right, not just the 181 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: general terms that I found that over the last few years, 182 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: whenever I did that, the answer that would come up 183 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: for me is that I felt deeply well. Which is 184 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: not to say that life is always without its trials 185 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: or its challenges or discomforts, but there is a deeper 186 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: feeling that I feel in my body and in my 187 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: soul and in my heart that really supersedes any of 188 00:12:51,840 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: the day's current reflections, current processes. What is the deeper feeling, 189 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: even on the most challenging day and coming into a 190 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: place in my personal journey where I do realize in 191 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: all moments that I am fully equipped for whatever is 192 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: in front of me. And I love to lean into that. 193 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: I love to work my process in real time. I 194 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: love to summon forward tools in real time. The deeper 195 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: baseline feeling for me is that I am deeply well. 196 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: I'm well. I'm well in my spirit, I'm well in 197 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: my body, I'm well in my heart and my soul. 198 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: I am well in my mind in a very deep way, 199 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: in a way that has required years of personal excavation 200 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: from my foundational framework to be that. And I wanted 201 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: to have a show that kind of spoke to the 202 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: experience that I intend to convey. Every time we do 203 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: an episode. My intention for doing this show is always 204 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: so that whoever happens to resonate with it and the 205 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: unique way that I am meant to serve through this show. 206 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: My intention is always in building the deeper foundation. My 207 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: intention is never to sell you happiness when you listen 208 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: to this show. My intention is never to sell you trend. 209 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: My intention is never to influence you for an influencers 210 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: or influencers sake of being. My intention is always to 211 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: share tools and process so that each of us can 212 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: build a foundation for ourselves that feels sturdy and stable 213 00:14:40,920 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: and nourishing. So in that deeper intention of my own 214 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: life of having built and always looking to tend to 215 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: that foundation, of that deeper, more sacred self, that more 216 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: permanent foundation, that is what I want to be a 217 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: takeaway of every single episode, that there is something in 218 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: that episode that is made of the highest quality ingredients. 219 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: That is building your personal foundation based on your awareness 220 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: of self, your abilities, your gifts, and your unique individual 221 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: higher purpose. And none of that can really be conveyed 222 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: in general terms. None of that can be conveyed in 223 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: tips and tricks and hacks. And so I take a 224 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: lot of real series curiousness and that sacred responsibility of 225 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: being present on this show and being present with whoever 226 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: happens to be listening to this show. That's my viewpoint, 227 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: That's how I see it, that's how I move with it, 228 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: and my hope is that that is how it is 229 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: felt and received. And so when we were getting ready 230 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: to gear up for this next season, something was just 231 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: tugging at me when I thought about coming into this 232 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: new season of dropping gems, and I know that this 233 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: is very counterintuitive to the branding model of our society, 234 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: to the browning model of how we're taught to release podcasts, 235 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: how we're taught to have businesses at this time to 236 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: share on social you know, I knew that, And one 237 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: of the biggest things that everyone at the company was 238 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: telling me was, you have brand equity in the name 239 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: dropping gems, Like people know that name, people love that name, 240 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: people say that name. It's now top of mind. All 241 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: of that is so deeply true, and I'm so grateful 242 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: for about residence. But the title of the show for me, 243 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: no longer really fully conveyed what this show was. And 244 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: when I first came up with the title of the 245 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: show about four years ago, actually, yeah, maybe four or 246 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: five years ago, it was a little bit of a 247 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: play on words because that was a couple of years 248 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: after I released my first book, Crystal Bliss, and it 249 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: was after I kind of renounced and took an indefinite 250 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: sabbatical from my entertainment career and from my broadcasting career, 251 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: and you know, at that time, a lot of the 252 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: framework on social has come up with the elevator pitch 253 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: for yourself. What is your elevator pitch? What is your 254 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: branded statement? What is your memorable business name? And it 255 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: was really all about the marketability of things, which is necessary, 256 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. But so I was trying to 257 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: come up with a name that conveyed that moment in 258 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 1: time of my life, this moment where I was deeply 259 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: and more of the metaphysics and the esoteric, and I 260 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: also had a foot in a whole other world and 261 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: way of being. And so I remember my dear friend 262 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: DJ Head came up with me with this name of 263 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: like You're Dropping Gems. You know, that was very much 264 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: a hip hop staying at the time, and over the 265 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: last couple of years it's become a big pop cultural 266 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: reference where whenever we hear anything that feels moving or 267 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: important to us, you know, we love to share with 268 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: the person sharing it that they dropped gems or gave 269 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: free jewelry. And I love those names, and I felt 270 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: it felt really special when I came up with that 271 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: name for my show. It felt really like it was 272 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: a merging of worlds for me. But I do feel 273 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: that now as we embark on this new season and 274 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: my life has continued to evolve and change, and you know, 275 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: I'm speaking to the thing that I live and that 276 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: I love, and that I'm fascinated by a lot more freely, 277 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: a lot more deeply, a lot more intentionally. I wanted 278 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: a name that reflected what this show was. Also, I 279 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: felt that if you were not familiar with that terminology 280 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: of dropping gens and what that really implied, what you'd 281 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: be taking away from that, I didn't feel that the 282 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 1: show was as easy to be understood from someone that 283 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: is not already familiar with a statement like that, because ultimately, 284 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: this is a show that is rooted in mental health. 285 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: This is a show that is rooted in emotional health, 286 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: in spiritual health. This is a show that is about 287 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: advanced meditation, higher consciousness, self care, tools and practices that 288 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: help to heal and transform from a trauma informed lens. 289 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: And we explore all the things, the esoteric, the metaphysical, 290 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: the tangible, the Western, the Eastern. And I wanted a 291 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: name that really, for me held that differently. So I 292 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: decided to change the name to deeply well with Debbie Brown, 293 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: to the foundational intention that I have for everyone that 294 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: listens to this show. So moving forward, the show, as 295 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: we move into season three again is now called Deeply Well, 296 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 1: Deeply Well with Debbie Brown. We are now really blessed 297 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: to join forces with an awesome studio in the LA area, 298 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: and all episodes of the show are going to be 299 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: not just recorded, but we're taking it off Zoom. Finally, 300 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: Thank you God. As an audio file. Like someone that 301 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: came up in specifically the broadcast industry, and I worked 302 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: in radio for many, many years, the sonic quality of 303 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: an offering is monumentally important to me. So I have 304 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: been you know, I've been getting it done on Zoom. 305 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: I've been getting it done from my home studio with 306 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: my mic. But you know, I worked professionally in broadcasting 307 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: for a long time, and I've been craving more of 308 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: that studio experience. I've been craving that in person energy 309 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: that you get to feel with another body in the building, 310 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: another being, another spirit. And so we are now doing 311 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: all episodes from a gorgeously designed studio. Shout out to 312 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: my phenomenal teams, Samantha Timmins, Shout out to Carly, like 313 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: we shout out to color Theory.
