Really, at 52 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: any age, you know, especially back to school is the 53 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: time that that starts. You get to reinvent a little. 54 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: You're having, um, the potential and possibility for new friendships 55 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: and learnings. So it's such an exciting, expansive time and 56 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: it's a marker of another year forward. Uh. Depending on 57 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: their age group, it could also be a little scary 58 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: for them, and this morning kept saying, I'm nervous. I'm nervous. 59 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: I just want to hope to so yeah, shout out, 60 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: shout out to all the parents. Um in this moment. 61 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: Another thing that I wanted to share was this week 62 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: I sat down, Um, end of summer, little backstory at 63 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: my house. I love to have kickbacks and gatherings and 64 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: cook offs and grill and pool. So we're always having 65 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: like summer adventures at my house, especially on the weekends. 66 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: And a couple of my friends were over and we 67 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: had a big, you know, big sprawling meal out and 68 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: we're just enjoying the warm summer nights. And we started 69 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: watching this movie. And I want to tell everyone about 70 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: this movie. It's amazing. Um. I saw it on Oh, 71 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: I don't remember Netflix. I saw it somewhere. I think 72 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: it's on Apple Plus. Maybe it's somewhere you'll find it. 73 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 1: It's called Good Luck to You Leo Grand good Luck 74 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: to you Rio Grand Leo Grant. And you may have 75 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: seen the cover of the film, and it makes it 76 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: look like it might be a comedy. Definitely a lot 77 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: of humor and heart to it. But it is a 78 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: really deep, poignant, important film. I think it's important from 79 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: a multitude of reasons. Um. I think this moment in time, 80 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: the greater collective the world, we're really exploring how we 81 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: relate to age. I I think we're in the dawn 82 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: of that Um, that's what my intuition is picking up on, 83 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: and what I'm noticing. We are in the dawn of 84 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: kind of re examining the way we have always related 85 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: to age and this idea that, um, you know, as 86 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: you get older, you become less important or less relevant 87 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: because capitalism drives youth culture um and Soto's creativity in 88 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: a lot of ways. But so on one end, it's 89 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: kind of exploring that dynamic of age, to the soul 90 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: of age, to beauty of Just because you're getting older, 91 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: you know, doesn't mean that you're not also like really 92 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: intensely experiencing your own life, um, and in evolving your 93 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: connections to your own life and noticing areas um that 94 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: maybe you made choices you want to investigate. So the 95 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: actress starring in the film Emma Thompson. There we go, 96 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: Emma Thompson. I love her. I've been watching her in 97 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: films since I was a little girl. So she is 98 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: the star of the film. And then there is another 99 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: young actor named Darryl McCormick. He stars as Leo Grand 100 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: and basically Leo is a sexology worker and Emma is 101 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: someone that is coming to him UM as an older woman. 102 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: Who wants to explore herself for the first time, and 103 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: the conversations that happened in this film are really important, 104 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: really important, matter how old you are, no matter um, 105 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: how you identify, how you connect to yourself and your journey. 106 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: The conversations in this film around sex, around intimacy, around age, 107 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: around parenting, around choice making. It's really powerful. It's really powerful, 108 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: and these might be a lot of new concepts uh 109 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: for some. So if any part of this film feels 110 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: squeamish or giggly or uncomfortable, just notice it. But if 111 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: you can, and if you feel uh able, really sit 112 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: through it and just notice it. I would definitely recommend 113 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: having a journal nearby and just seeing what it brings 114 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: up in you as you watch this woman Um explore 115 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: herself and her path in this way, and how he 116 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: finds himself as a member. I think she's probably a 117 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: boomer and he is a member of Generation Z. So 118 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: there it just speaks to so much. It speaks to 119 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: communication and challenges between generations. How we see things so 120 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: specifically the way that we do and why exactly it's 121 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: hard to shift those perceptions Um the older you get. 122 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: It investigates age and in that investigates how boomers related 123 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: to sex versus how gen Z relates to sex. It 124 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: investigates um intimacy again, parenthood. It's it was. It was 125 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: a really really important movie. So I think you'll dig it. 126 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: Check it out here. It's called good Luck to You 127 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: Leo Grand and I believe it is streaming in all 128 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: the places Hulu. That's where it is, Thank you Google. 129 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: It's on Hulu. So if you have Hulu, enjoy. All right, 130 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: let's get going. Uh, let's start talking about these questions. 131 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: So a couple of weeks ago, I hit Instagram and 132 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: I went on my video at Debbie Brown and I said, um, 133 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: does anyone have any questions for the spiritual journey, questions 134 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: about meditation, questions about higher consciousness, send them my way. 135 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: And I ended up getting hundreds and they were amazing. 136 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: I got really powerful questions. And so I'll randomly be 137 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: diving in this bag and I'll probably regularly share that 138 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: prompt on my Instagram. UM. And also, if you haven't yet, 139 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: I have a newsletter. If you go to Debbie Brown 140 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: dot com, um, I send a newsletter out once a month. 141 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: So I think I want to be doing that there 142 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: as well. And I wanted to touch on these and 143 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: the questions that I'm going to choose are the ones 144 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: that I feel most connected to in this moment to 145 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: share about and also and or UM questions that represent 146 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: UM an area where a lot of people have asked 147 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: something similar. So here's the first question that we're going 148 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: to dive into. After being on a self cared journey, 149 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: I find myself analyzing others more. How do I stop 150 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: analyzing others? I thought this question was so amazing because 151 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: it's something that we all experience for very many reasons. 152 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: UM the term analyzing that we're using, I actually find 153 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: nothing to be wrong about the idea of analyzing. Where 154 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: you may get into some trickiness is if you're judging. 155 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: So a lot of people kind of can turn into 156 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,239 Speaker 1: that dynamic. When you start healing yourself, you start observing 157 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: what is unhealed in others, and it could feel easy 158 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: to slip into a pattern of then judging others and 159 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: coming into a space where you're saying, well, if I'm 160 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: recognizing this about myself, or if I'm changing this, then 161 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: why aren't you It's because you don't want to, or 162 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: it's because you're weak, or it's because you're purposely trying 163 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: not to. And that's where it gets really tricky and 164 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,479 Speaker 1: unhealthy for the person who is trying to heal themselves. 165 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: That's an area that we all really need to work 166 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: to stay away from. When you're on the journey. Um, 167 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: as you're coming into this higher consciousness, as you're coming 168 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: into these new awarenesses, you're discovering these things about yourself. 169 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: You're making these deep observations that you're shifting inside of yourself. 170 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: And now that understanding is turned on in the way 171 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: that you're able to have perception of others. Your intuition 172 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: is also now turned on, so you're noticing things about 173 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: yourself that you love and things about yourself that you 174 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: don't like, and other people. You're noticing patterns that are 175 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: taking place. Whereas, especially if you have a particular spiritual 176 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: curriculum you're working through, you may now start seeing that 177 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: in others paths, and where you need to be careful 178 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: is you might be projecting the understandings you're making about 179 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: yourself onto other people and they may or may not 180 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: fit their unique experiences and their journey. So on the journey, 181 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: as we start to really expand and heighten our ability 182 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: and capability to observe and witness others. The work then 183 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: evolves for us into working to come into a place 184 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: of neutrality about it, working to come into a place 185 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: of non judgment about it. And eventually, um, and I 186 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: quote this quite a bit, one of my teachers, Dr 187 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: Ron Holnik, said, you come into a space eventually of 188 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: unbearable compassion where you are noticing the deeper pain in 189 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: wounds and barriers that exists inside other people as you 190 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: hear them talk, as you see them, as you experience 191 00:12:53,840 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: them and witness them. Um. Yeah, that's where that's where ideally, Uh, 192 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: we are all looking to land. So I love that question. 193 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: I think that that question is so natural and it's 194 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: so valid, uh, and it's something that happens to absolutely 195 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: all of us, and it just lets you know that 196 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: it's now time to evolve into more work. If you 197 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: feel yourself coming into more of a space of anger 198 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: with others because of what you're perceiving as them not 199 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: doing or changing about themselves, then that just lets us 200 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: know that there's more love that we can give us 201 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: for our journey, and more opportunities for us to come 202 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: into a space of neutrality and non judgment. There's a 203 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: new layer you have now access that you get to 204 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: go down so that you can deepen your own healing 205 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: and now deepen your understanding and compassion for others. So 206 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: I hope that was helpful, and thank you so much 207 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: for that question. That was so so, so so so relevant, 208 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people that were sending 209 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: in questions. All right, next question, in what ways do 210 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: you intentionally create ease in your life? I really love 211 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: this question because ease. Ease is really the marker of 212 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: knowing that you are on the right path. Where there 213 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: is ease, UM, there's purpose. And I think in a 214 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: lot of ways, we've all been conditioned to think that 215 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: things have to be earned and things have to be hard, 216 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: especially to be worth it. You know, if it's easy, 217 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't want it. And I rebuke that um or 218 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: people say, you know, um, you know, you think you 219 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: think you have to always go the arduous path, the 220 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: path with all the dragons to slay um, And yeah, 221 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: but that takes a lot longer, and you might be 222 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: putting yourself through some unnecessary challenge When it can be 223 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: about surrender and it can be about ease. I believe 224 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: that when it is connected to purpose, there's always ease 225 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: and grace attached. And that's how you know. And ease 226 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: is different than the way we define and connect to 227 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: the word something being easy, something being easy. We've created 228 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: a judgment around that word in the way it's been 229 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: used in our society to think that that means less 230 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: than or like something you wouldn't really want um. And 231 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: that's not the same as connecting to the root word. 232 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: In the spiritual meaning of ease itself, ease is more 233 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: connected to what we have heard of as like the 234 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: flow state, a space where there is synchronicity, where there 235 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: is potential and stability um where you're noticing that things 236 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: are unfolding in divine right order and divine right time. 237 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: So ease is one of my favorite things that I 238 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: call into my life in and around my life. I 239 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: want it, I live it, I need it grace as well. 240 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: And So to answer that question of in what ways 241 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: do you intentionally create ease in your life, I really 242 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: just try not to be um at war with any 243 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: aspect of anything. I try not to fight my life 244 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: for myself. I try not to argue with God. So 245 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: the path of surrender is also you know, even when 246 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: things are not going your way, coming into an acceptance 247 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: that this ultimately serves purpose. And I trust that even 248 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: if I don't know what purpose it's serving. You know, 249 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: even if I don't know why it's going this way, 250 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: I am trusting in the alignment and I'm checking my 251 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: body to make sure that I'm feeling that alignment as well. 252 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: Um So, I try to intentionally create e is by 253 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: always following it. And when things are feeling more challenging 254 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: or more difficult in real time, I like to be 255 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: in choice and investigated and say, well, why is it 256 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: happening this way? And what does that mean? And what's 257 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: another choice I can make about it? Or am I 258 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: being called to just be patient and be still? Um So? 259 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: I hope that helps to answer the question. But even 260 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: if it if that didn't fully answer the question. Um 261 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: what I recommend for everyone to do is and I've 262 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: I've written a lot of these affirmations for myself over 263 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: the years, but ask for ease, asked to be shown ease. 264 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: You know, you can even say, with your eyes closed 265 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: and your hand over your heart, God's spirit, universe, please 266 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: align me with a path of ease throughout my day 267 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: and then just slowly start to take notice of where 268 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: are things feeling easier, even if it's just hey, I 269 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: didn't hit traffic today, or happen to find that park 270 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: in spot, or oh, that conversation actually went so much 271 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: better than I was expecting. UM, notice ease and all 272 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: the moments, especially the tiny ones, and acknowledge it, and 273 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: then that helps to build your capacity for experiencing it 274 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: in bigger ways, for noticing it, for honoring it in 275 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: bigger ways. So I hope that helps. Okay, here's another 276 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: good question. And I actually get this question every day 277 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: in some capacity, so this is so perfect I get 278 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: to really expand on it. Here. The question I got 279 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: was have you ever thought about mentoring other spiritualists, facilitators, practitioners, teachers. 280 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: And to answer that question, yes, I have, Yes I 281 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: currently do UM and no no in the sense of 282 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: I don't yet know how to scale it. Because I 283 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: get this question so often, there are groups of people 284 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: that want to be able to have the experience with me, 285 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: which kind of changes what I'm able to do. UM. 286 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: I will say that even in my past career, in 287 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: my past life, when I worked in media, mentorship was 288 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: extremely important to me, and at different times in my 289 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: career path in trajectory, I would have cohorts of mentees, 290 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: or I'd bring in different mentees two different opportunities. UM. 291 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes I would even hold you know, zooms and answer questions. 292 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: So that is something that's important to me. It's something 293 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: that has been a part of my professional life, um 294 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: for at least fifteen years. In this moment of my 295 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: personal journey as a mother, a single mother, as a 296 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: working mother, as someone that is currently building UM, some 297 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: things that are requiring quite a bit of me, it's 298 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: not possible to do in a way that's not organic. 299 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: So I think I naturally, just based on my work, 300 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: I've come into friendship and relationships and connections with different people. 301 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: And so there are some people that I do have 302 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 1: connection with that you know, I am available with occasionally 303 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: to answer questions and to kind of dive deeper to 304 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: point in the right direction. But those relationships kind of 305 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: happened really organically, and they're already a part of my 306 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: natural flow. And so I want to be I kind 307 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: of a being this detailed about my answer for a 308 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: reason because something that I'd also like to share with 309 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: people to bring to their awareness. I've gotten asked this 310 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: question in a multitude of ways. I've gotten asked this 311 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: question in a way that really honors UM, my experience 312 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: and my time and recognizes that this requires something of 313 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: the person you're asking this of. And then I've also 314 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: gotten a lot of people asking me for this in 315 00:20:52,840 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: ways that they may not realize are not going to 316 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: connect to this need getting met for them, UM, with myself, 317 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: for others. And so I've got to asked this question 318 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: also in kind of a way of just like, hey, 319 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: can you let me know when you can get on 320 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: the phone with me for about an hour so I 321 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: can pick your brain and you can tell me what 322 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: to do. You know from a stranger UM. So uh, 323 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: I would share that I do think it's important for people, 324 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: and I follow this advice as well because I'm someone 325 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: that is blessed right now to learn from various UM 326 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: elders in this community and awakened beings that have been 327 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: on this path for decades that have given so much. 328 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: And so I want to share that you know, if 329 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: you are looking to someone for mentorship of some kind, 330 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: it is important that you know that the relationship has 331 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: to be mutually supportive. Any and all relationships should be 332 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: mutually supportive, especially if you're asking something of someone that 333 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: you don't know or don't already have relationship, ship or 334 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: connection to. And so energy exchange is really important. Even 335 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: if that energy exchange if you consider yourself as having 336 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: nothing to offer, which is never true. But if you 337 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: consider yourself that way, even you arriving with really good, open, humble, 338 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: UM grateful energy could be what is mutually supportive. But 339 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: watch your energy and then also know that if this 340 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: requires something of someone, then taking an interest in you, UM, 341 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: in your work, guiding you, connecting you with other people, 342 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: connecting you with higher more refined thoughts about your processes. 343 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: Really consider what am I bringing to the table. And 344 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be money, it doesn't have to 345 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: be physical items or things. But everyone has something to offer. 346 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,479 Speaker 1: So if you are looking to receive something from someone, 347 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: consider how can I also make this meaningful for UM? 348 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: How can I make this impactful for them? How can 349 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: I make this easy for them UM to allow them 350 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: to help me, So that that is one response to 351 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: that just for maybe a small group of people that 352 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: may be needed to connect with it UM, but I 353 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: will say, moving forward, I am looking for opportunities to 354 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: not take on one on one mentees. I don't think 355 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: that's really possible with my schedule. I get about an 356 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: hour day to myself and I need that our foe myself. UM, 357 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: but I do want to find opportunities even like the 358 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: retreat Queen of Fu and I are doing that Omega Institute. 359 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: I want to have the opportunities to be in community 360 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: with facilitators, with healers UM practitioners who are at all 361 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: different junctures of the journey UM, all of us on 362 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: our path in different capacities. I am looking moving forward 363 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: to create more opportunities for that where we then can 364 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: have UM organic expanse of conversations in that way. UM. 365 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: So stay tuned for ideally more of that coming forward, 366 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: and then we are doing that retreat Women who Heal 367 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: Queen of Fool and myself at the Omega Institute, and 368 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: that retreat is happening the last week of September. So 369 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: you would just go to eat Omega dot org to 370 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: be a part of that if you feel called okay. 371 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: In our last question, how to keep your energy pulled 372 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: in and aligned while also being connected and open with others. 373 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: So this question is really great because what you'll notice 374 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: as you are on your journey and as you are 375 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: making advancements in your consciousness and your understanding and your healing, 376 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: is you're still triggered by the world, and you're triggered 377 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: very often the most by the people that are currently 378 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: in your life. And so the best way to keep 379 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: your energy in alignment, you have to keep yourself in 380 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: really pristine condition. You have to pay a lot of 381 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: attention to your personal spiritual hygiene, and you have to 382 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: work on your boundaries, and that's where the fund comes in. 383 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: But that's also where more of the challenge happens. So 384 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: our boundaries are really are our protective force in our lives, 385 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: for protecting ourselves, for protecting others from themselves. Our boundaries 386 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: are so important to get familiar with what your needs 387 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: are and what you will and will not interact with 388 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: in your life. So as we have boundaries, that gets 389 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: easier because people will never stop trying necessarily to disregard 390 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,239 Speaker 1: them or fight them, but the way you relate to 391 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: their lack of emotional regular lation will change. And so 392 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: to stay in alignment, stay in your spiritual practice, your 393 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: daily practice, is your mainstay. Your daily practice is what 394 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: supports your healing. It's what supports your ability to be 395 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: energetically aligned. You know, I speak so much to the 396 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: importance of a self care practice, of a daily practice, 397 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: of a spiritual practice, not because it's just there to 398 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: you know, feel good about UM. It's there to support 399 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: your healing. It's what makes your healing your lived experience 400 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: and not just the breakthrough thought that you had. Healing 401 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: is not just having the breakthrough understanding. You are able 402 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: to support and grow yourself when you connect to a 403 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: daily practice that includes something that honors UM all the 404 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: four pillars of wholeness of holistic health mental, physical, emotional, 405 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: and spiritual. And so I have a couple of episodes 406 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: on that you can check out. UM I talked about 407 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: out on my Instagram a lot too. But your practice 408 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: every day, if you are taking time whatever works for you, 409 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: to meditate, if you're taking time to connect with yourself, 410 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: with your body, to honor and release and write down 411 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: and explore your thoughts too, pausing before you react, that's 412 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: what keeps your energy at a really high level and 413 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: really maintained and over time, that's what really keeps you 414 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: able to function as this new well oiled machine, as 415 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: this new higher version of self that is making higher 416 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: choices irregardless of what may greet you on your path 417 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: from here to there. So I hope that was helpful. 418 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing this. I'm gonna explore more questions 419 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: UM also in coming episodes in the next few weeks. 420 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm really excited to share I have some special guests. 421 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: Lee Harris, a dear friend, is going to joining me. 422 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: Another dear friend, Young Pueblo, who has a new book out, 423 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: will be joining me.

And check out some of 426 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: our previous episodes. At the top of this episode, I 427 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: was sharing about that movie that I think everyone should watch, 428 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: which is Good Luck to you Leo Grand on Hulu, 429 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: and I have an episode that will kind of expand 430 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: you a little bit after you watch that called UM 431 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: Sexual Healing that I did with my friend Simone Farshi 432 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: who is a sexologist and intimacy coach. So a little 433 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: supplemental listening. After you check out that movie on Hulu, 434 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: you can check out that podcast episode Sexual Healing, which 435 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: I think was in season two, so that will be 436 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: there for you. And a little homework today, a little 437 00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: so work to take with you. Take a few deep 438 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: breaths with your body, really notice yourself, notice how you're feeling, 439 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: and then maybe sit with the journal. And you know, 440 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: we're moving into fall, so the seasons are going to 441 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: be changing soon. We're going to get into um. All 442 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: that all brings, all of the turning over, the changes 443 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: that we're able to see physically, we're able to smell 444 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: some of those changes. Earth is shifting. I love that 445 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: time of year fall. There's like a crispness in the air. 446 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: We're also going to be seeing people a lot more 447 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: um then maybe normal. Right, there's more family opportunities. We 448 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: have Halloween, we have Thanksgiving, we have Christmas, we have Hanukkah, 449 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: we have all all the things are coming. So I 450 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: just want you to start thinking now, as we're in 451 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: the end of August, what are some ways you can 452 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: really support your healing and your mental and emotional and 453 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: spiritual health this fall. Think about what practice you have now, 454 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: and if you don't feel like you have a super 455 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: consistent sustainable practice, give some thought to something you might 456 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: want to start, even for the first time. Wherever you're 457 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: at with it, it's enough. You are enough right now. 458 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: What you're doing is enough. Everything is just an opportunity 459 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: to go deeper if we wish to go higher, if 460 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: we wish. So think about that as we're easing in 461 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: the next few weeks into a changed season, into a 462 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: whole new field, as we're even you know, honestly inching 463 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: towards a new year, what are some things you can 464 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: kick off right now that can really start to help 465 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: serve you and keep your energy very nourished, very high, 466 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: very loved, very nurtured right now as we walk into 467 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: this next season, and you don't have to overthink it, 468 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: jot down a couple of bullet points, but what would 469 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: feel good to you? Do you want to focus on 470 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: one category a little more? Do you want to build 471 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: it out? Maybe have a longer meditation practice, Maybe connect 472 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: to guided meditations, Maybe commit to taking three times a 473 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: week and ep some salt bath to just kind of 474 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: clear your body and your toxins. Stretch practice at the 475 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: end of the night, fifteen minutes before bed, just being 476 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: present with your body and stretching whatever it is, make 477 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: sure it's a good fit for you, doesn't have to 478 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: mean anything to anyone else, doesn't have to be Instagram morble. 479 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: But what would really feel good to you and what 480 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: would feel supportive to you? So take just a few 481 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: minutes to think about that, write it down, put it 482 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: into practice, and I will catch you next week.
