Speaker 3: Have you Ben, I've been great, absolutely wonderful. My oldest
Speaker 3: daughter just graduated college, so leave a lot to celebrate
Speaker 3: here and now I'm talking to you.
Speaker 2: Well, that's great. What did she major English? Really? She's
Speaker 2: going to be a teacher writer?
Speaker 3: No, yeah, she's going to be a writer. She got
Speaker 3: a great job as a tech writer. So I'm super
Speaker 3: proud of her.
Speaker 2: Taking after Mama.
Speaker 3: Yes, I hope so.
Speaker 2: Well, that's great, And the congratulations on the new book,
Speaker 2: Heavenly Alliance.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I'm so excited for it to come out
Speaker 3: and to share it with everyone.
Speaker 2: I want to talk with you about that. And also
Speaker 2: we'll talk about dreams later on in the program, and
Speaker 2: then we'll take calls next hour. People are calling already
Speaker 2: ready to talk to you.
Speaker 3: Oh. I love to talk about dreams and all of it,
Speaker 3: So I can't wait.
Speaker 2: Tell me about the title Heavenly Alliance.
Speaker 3: Well, I wrote the book because I feel like life
Speaker 3: is this beautiful divine dance between fate and free will,
Speaker 3: and I think the key to thriving in life is
Speaker 3: to recognize those moments in our life that are faded
Speaker 3: or dustined, and those moments in our life where we
Speaker 3: have free will and choice. And in those moments where
Speaker 3: we do have free will, we really do have a
Speaker 3: lot of health out there. We can call on our
Speaker 3: guides and our angels and our loved ones who have
Speaker 3: gone before us. And so I hope that the book
Speaker 3: instructs people on how to recognize those pivotal moments in
Speaker 3: our life. You know, there are times in our life
Speaker 3: where stuff is just going to happen and there's not
Speaker 3: a whole lot you can do about it. You just
Speaker 3: have to lean on your faith and your friends and
Speaker 3: get through it. And then there's other times in our
Speaker 3: life where we have a lot of opportunity in terms
Speaker 3: of the choices we make. So it's all about how
Speaker 3: to really call on your invisible helpers, but also rely
Speaker 3: on the beautiful strength that's inside of you as well.
Speaker 2: Do you look at the soul as in journalist, as
Speaker 2: an author, or as something else.
Speaker 3: I think I look at it as just an eternal
Speaker 3: part of ourselves. There is a journalist of me that
Speaker 3: likes to kind of study how people and cultures throughout
Speaker 3: history have looked at the soul. But I think in
Speaker 3: terms of the soul, it's really it's really who we are.
Speaker 3: You know, we walk around and in this body and
Speaker 3: we wear these masks, but in the essence, at the
Speaker 3: truth of who we are is our soul. And I
Speaker 3: think it's really important to get in touch with that
Speaker 3: through silence, through stillness, through meditation, through listening to shows
Speaker 3: like yours, so that we can really stay on the path.
Speaker 2: In the book heavenly Alliance. You talk about a soul plan,
Speaker 2: what is that?
Speaker 3: Well, I believe that before we're born, we kind of
Speaker 3: have like a conference meeting with our guides and we
Speaker 3: sit around and we talk about, Okay, George, in your
Speaker 3: last lifetime, you did this, this and this, and maybe
Speaker 3: you didn't do so well on this, this and that.
Speaker 3: So this go around, we're going to have you with
Speaker 3: these parents and these siblings, and we're going to put
Speaker 3: you in this job where you can really inspire millions
Speaker 3: and millions and millions of people. And yes, you're going
Speaker 3: to have this challenge and that challenge, and I think
Speaker 3: that we orchestrate all of it. But the point I
Speaker 3: make in the book is that it's a blueprint. And
Speaker 3: just like if you're building a house and you have
Speaker 3: a blueprint and you're like, oh, this is going to
Speaker 3: go here, and the kitchen's going to go here, and
Speaker 3: then the contractor comes in and says, well, this is
Speaker 3: going to cause this. So we're going to mix that.
Speaker 3: Things change once we get to Earth, right, but we
Speaker 3: still have this blueprint, this soul plan for why we
Speaker 3: are here, what we're supposed to teach, what we're supposed
Speaker 3: to learn, and how we're supposed to grow our soul.
Speaker 2: Once we get that plan etched, can you change it?
Speaker 3: Yes, I totally believe that you can't.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Like I said before, I do believe that this world
Speaker 3: is a divine dance of fate and free will. So
Speaker 3: I think there are some things that we really can't change.
Speaker 3: And I think that's where people get stuck in their
Speaker 3: lives because they think, well, I want to change that.
Speaker 3: I want this to be different. I don't want to
Speaker 3: be going through this challenging time. And I think it's
Speaker 3: really crucial for people to recognize those moments where maybe
Speaker 3: you can't change it, but you can change how you
Speaker 3: respond to it.
Speaker 2: Are they things I'd love using this quote? Are these
Speaker 2: things that can be or will be?
Speaker 3: I think that some things can be, and I think
Speaker 3: many things will be. And I think we really have
Speaker 3: to get in touch with our soul, with our authentic
Speaker 3: truth to recognize when we are in those can moments
Speaker 3: and those will moments.
Speaker 2: Our guides and our angels two separate entities.
Speaker 3: Yes, I believe. So. I believe that angels were created
Speaker 3: before us. I believe that they are messengers, as many
Speaker 3: religions have taught and I think that they are in
Speaker 3: my book. You know, I started out as a traditional
Speaker 3: teacher Georgia, as you know, so I kind of compare
Speaker 3: a lot of things to school. So I look at
Speaker 3: angels like the principle. They oversee the bigger picture of
Speaker 3: our soul plan. But our spirit guides are like our
Speaker 3: classroom teachers. They are human. They've lived before. They know
Speaker 3: what it's like to have to pay bills and do
Speaker 3: laundry and deal with the cranky boss. They understand the
Speaker 3: ins and outs of being human, and so they are
Speaker 3: like our classroom teacher. They are with us every day.
Speaker 2: So, Mattha, some people seem soulss, what's wrong with them?
Speaker 3: Well, I do believe that there are some people who
Speaker 3: maybe don't. I don't want to say they don't have souls,
Speaker 3: but I definitely believe that there are some people who
Speaker 3: are negative. And I wonder, I wonder, I don't know.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, I don't know, But
Speaker 3: I wonder if part of their reason of being here
Speaker 3: is to challenge us, because without the dark, there can
Speaker 3: be no light, and so I think it's I think
Speaker 3: they are serving a purpose too. But I also believe
Speaker 3: that they have guides and angels as well, they just
Speaker 3: don't listen to them.
Speaker 2: Tell us about the overall theme of Heavenly Alliance.
Speaker 3: The overall theme is about really learning to get in
Speaker 3: touch with these invisible helpers. I wish that I wish
Speaker 3: that our guides and angels could sit down with us
Speaker 3: and say, Okay, here's what you're supposed to do this year,
Speaker 3: here's what you're supposed to learn, here's what you're supposed
Speaker 3: to teach. But it's not like that. We are kind
Speaker 3: of plopped here on our own, right. There's no manual
Speaker 3: for being a human on this earth. And yet, and
Speaker 3: yet if you look within, there really is all the
Speaker 3: answers are there. And so the overall the team of
Speaker 3: the book is learning to recognize how to listen to yourself,
Speaker 3: how to trust yourself. And I give a lot of
Speaker 3: exercises and homework assignments and skills and tools to help
Speaker 3: people really get in touch with that authentic self.
Speaker 2: What is the easiest way or the best way to
Speaker 2: get in touch with yourself?
Speaker 3: I do think it's through silence, and something that worries
Speaker 3: me about what's happening in society today. We have so
Speaker 3: many beautiful distractions that we no longer really force ourselves
Speaker 3: or invite ourselves to be alone with our own thoughts.
Speaker 3: And it really is only in those moments of silence
Speaker 3: that we can hear that still small voice within, that
Speaker 3: we can listen and recognize the little subtle nudges that
Speaker 3: our angels and guys are giving us. And I think
Speaker 3: that's really really important.
Speaker 2: How important is developing a soul?
Speaker 3: I think it's the whole reason why we're here. I
Speaker 3: think the whole reason why we're here and we come
Speaker 3: back is to grow our soul and to grow closer
Speaker 3: to the light and to the truth.
Speaker 2: Once we do that, does it change our lives? Does
Speaker 2: it change who we are?
Speaker 3: I think so. I think it expands our light, and
Speaker 3: not only does it change us, but I think what's
Speaker 3: so exciting is when you truly embrace your spiritual path,
Speaker 3: you light the way for others. And isn't that what
Speaker 3: it's all about? What did ram Das say? We're all
Speaker 3: just walking each other home? And I think that when
Speaker 3: we can really get in touch with growing our soul
Speaker 3: and brightening up our light, we help so many other people.
Speaker 3: And that's what it's all about. And I think we
Speaker 3: can do that in small ways and big ways. Like
Speaker 3: one thing I always love about you, George and your show,
Speaker 3: you made a commitment to your audience to always be
Speaker 3: there for them on the holidays. Yes, that's a really
Speaker 3: big thing.
Speaker 2: I looked at the calendar this year as a matter
Speaker 2: of fact, and I want Christmas is in the middle
Speaker 2: of the week, New Years, Thanksgivings always on that Thursday,
Speaker 2: we're going to be here.
Speaker 3: And everybody knows you're going to be there. And you know,
Speaker 3: on my little podcast, which is tiny compared to yours,
Speaker 3: we always do a live show over the holidays too,
Speaker 3: and that's because you inspired me. I can't tell you
Speaker 3: how many listeners have emailed us over the years saying
Speaker 3: the holidays are some of the hardest days and knowing
Speaker 3: that I have a new show from you guys to
Speaker 3: listen to. This really helped me get through this week.
Speaker 3: And so even though those little things that you might
Speaker 3: think is not the biggest deal in the world, huge deal.
Speaker 3: And I think that's that's what we need to recognize.
Speaker 3: Growing our soul isn't about becoming the next Elon Mu.
Speaker 3: It's not about winning the lottery or building a big,
Speaker 3: beautiful house. It's just the small things about helping someone
Speaker 3: feel a little bit better, about encouraging yourself, patting yourself
Speaker 3: on the back and sharing that and extending a hand
Speaker 3: to someone else.
Speaker 2: I was always very fortunate to have family around during holidays.
Speaker 2: I was never alone as a kid and as an adult,
Speaker 2: and I when I got this program, Samantha, I said
Speaker 2: to myself, there are a lot of people who aren't
Speaker 2: that fortunate, who don't have family around, who might not
Speaker 2: have friends around, and we're not going to leave them alone.
Speaker 2: We're going to give them the opportunity to become part
Speaker 2: of this family, and so they have that ability to
Speaker 2: call in and on a holiday, or call in any
Speaker 2: time they would listen. Actually, but it works.
Speaker 3: It does work, and that's really really important. I always
Speaker 3: say one of the expressions I love is the magic
Speaker 3: of ordinary day is because sometimes those holidays highlight what's
Speaker 3: beautiful about your life, and sometimes they highlight what's missing
Speaker 3: in your life, so they can be really difficult times
Speaker 3: for people.
Speaker 2: I've talked about manifestation before, and you touch on it
Speaker 2: a little bit, don't you.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm so passionate about manifesting, and I think it's
Speaker 3: really important that we recognize that we have the ability
Speaker 3: to manifest. And I'm not even talking about the secret
Speaker 3: or manifesting a parking space. I'm just talking about helping
Speaker 3: people recognize that we have a lot more control over
Speaker 3: the things that do happen in our life in so
Speaker 3: many ways. And I'll give you a really quick example
Speaker 3: that just happened a couple of weeks ago. I was
Speaker 3: talking to my daughters about how, you know, you can
Speaker 3: just wake up and say I want my day to
Speaker 3: look like this, and just play with that and see
Speaker 3: what happens. But I'm trying to teach my children to
Speaker 3: go through life with intention instead of well, you know
Speaker 3: I have teenagers, George, So instead of whining right there, yes,
Speaker 3: so I said, just just pretend that life is a
Speaker 3: video game and you can make your day however you
Speaker 3: want it to be. So they started playing with that,
Speaker 3: and they started having some really cool things happen. So
Speaker 3: my little daughter is taking a statistics class at college,
Speaker 3: and you know, we're English history people in my family,
Speaker 3: so she's really struggling with the stack class and she's
Speaker 3: got her big final exam. She studied for weeks, she
Speaker 3: went to her TA. She's created a study group, panicking
Speaker 3: memorized formulas, takes the exam and she's walking back to
Speaker 3: her dorm and she's thinking, I know I got at
Speaker 3: least four wrong, and that's bad. And she remembered what
Speaker 3: I said about manifesting and just having fun with it,
Speaker 3: and she said, you know what, if this, if this
Speaker 3: is a video game and I could make anything what
Speaker 3: it is, I'm just gonna I'm just going to say
Speaker 3: I magically get a one hundred on this exam. Well,
Speaker 3: she gets home and there's an email from her instructor
Speaker 3: the computer that they took the test on glitched and
Speaker 3: she had to give everybody automatic one hundreds.
Speaker 2: I love it. That's magical.
Speaker 3: That's magical, and that's manifesting. And I think it's really
Speaker 3: important for people to recognize that everyone can do that.
Speaker 3: We just have to do it with an attitude of
Speaker 3: fun and not an attitude of this has to happen.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't just her. She brought everybody along with her.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 2: I've always said, when you get to the top of
Speaker 2: the mountain, if you're alone, it's not any fun.
Speaker 3: No, it's not that that is a great, great thing.
Speaker 3: You always want to help people go along with you.
Speaker 3: And I think when we manifest from that intention of
Speaker 3: sharing it with other people, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 3: And that's something I always teach my students. When you
Speaker 3: are creating a goal, always think about how can you
Speaker 3: share that goal with other people once you accomplish it,
Speaker 3: And that's really going to boost your manifesting.
Speaker 2: If you can do that, how can we in our
Speaker 2: living life tap into our soul life.
Speaker 3: Well, I think we can do that through not only,
Speaker 3: as I said before, silence and stillness and meditation and prayer,
Speaker 3: but I think we can also do that through any
Speaker 3: way that we can give back to others. And again
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about big things like donating money or volunteering,
Speaker 3: you know, ten hours of your of your week. I
Speaker 3: just meet in small gestures anytime we can think of someone.
Speaker 3: I have a really good friend who is just she
Speaker 3: has such a beautiful heart, and she writes in her
Speaker 3: calendar every month birthdays, friends who have doctor's appointments, she
Speaker 3: writes the anniversary of any any of her friends who
Speaker 3: have lost parents, and she will send them apart or
Speaker 3: call them or text them on those days. And I
Speaker 3: think those those little gestures are really what It's all about.
Speaker 2: Why is it important to create a deep connection with
Speaker 2: our guides and angels.
Speaker 3: Because that's what's going to keep us on the path.
Speaker 3: Have you ever been so busy and so consumed with
Speaker 3: everything going on in your life that you ignored that
Speaker 3: little voice inside of your head that was saying don't
Speaker 3: do that, don't go there, or ooh, heads up about
Speaker 3: that person. A lot of times we just pushed that
Speaker 3: down and think, oh, no, everything's fine. But when we
Speaker 3: are able to really tune in and listen to our
Speaker 3: guides and angels and listen to the direction that they're
Speaker 3: nudging us, it opens up whole new pathways for us,
Speaker 3: even if at the moment it can seem a little scary.
Speaker 3: Can I give you a quick example, please, So when
Speaker 3: I was fourteen, my father admitted that he had a
Speaker 3: problem with drinking, and he checked himself into a rehab facility,
Speaker 3: and my mom and I went to visit him, and
Speaker 3: I was so shocked because they were teenagers there as well,
Speaker 3: Like the whole left side of the building were adults,
Speaker 3: but on the right side of the building were all
Speaker 3: these teenagers. And I was fourteen and they were kids
Speaker 3: like seventeen eighteen, you know, sitting outside and talking with
Speaker 3: their sponsors, and I thought, wow, and I heard this
Speaker 3: little voice in my head that said, pay attention. One
Speaker 3: day this place will be important to you. And I thought,
Speaker 3: oh no, like I'm not according to drink like my
Speaker 3: father did. I'm not gonna this is not ever going
Speaker 3: to be important to me. So I kind of just
Speaker 3: ignored it and pushed it away. Well flash forward, I'm
Speaker 3: graduating college and I had a pretty good job offer
Speaker 3: in the city, and also I was thinking about moving
Speaker 3: to New York with my friends, and I kept getting
Speaker 3: this little nudge to just apply to grad school to
Speaker 3: see and I was like, well, I don't know. So
Speaker 3: I applied to one graduate school where the state of Connecticut,
Speaker 3: where I was living at the time, would pay for
Speaker 3: my grad school if I was a substitute teacher during
Speaker 3: the day. So I would go to school at night
Speaker 3: and substitute for free during the day and the state
Speaker 3: would pay for my education. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: do I want to do that? So I went in
Speaker 3: for one innered with one of the schools and it
Speaker 3: was a little alternative high school, and the principal was
Speaker 3: interviewing me and she said these kids that you're going
Speaker 3: to be teaching have just come out of a rehab facility.
Speaker 3: And she mentioned my father's rehab facility, arms Acres, and
Speaker 3: she said, have you ever heard of it? And I said, yeah,
Speaker 3: I have. And she said, do you have experience with alcoholism?
Speaker 3: And I said yeah, my dad's been in AA for
Speaker 3: nine years and I've gone to Alanaut and she hired
Speaker 3: me on the spot. If I had not listened to
Speaker 3: that little voice, I might have turned down that job
Speaker 3: and it would have changed my entire life path. But
Speaker 3: because I wasn't totally afraid of that voice, and I
Speaker 3: did listen to it, and I remembered it, it opened
Speaker 3: up a beautiful career for me.
