00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:12,360

Hello everyone and welcome, welcome to The Love Your Vibe Show. We are here on Skyward TV and

2

00:00:12,360 –> 00:00:18,200

Hopeful Radio and my name is Elvira V. Hopper and I am your host along with Eleanor Hayward and

3

00:00:18,200 –> 00:00:24,760

Jennifer Hawkins today is our guest. So just gonna give you a quick rundown of this show. This show

4

00:00:24,760 –> 00:00:31,000

is all about you. It’s about helping you to do your inner work of healing and growth. We’ve all

5

00:00:31,000 –> 00:00:35,640

been hurt on this planet because of COVID. There’s a lot of people struggling with mental health and

6

00:00:35,640 –> 00:00:41,440

our take on improving our mental health is through personal development. So this is a spiritual path

7

00:00:41,440 –> 00:00:47,920

to taking care of yourself at the highest level and it is not to put down Western medicine but

8

00:00:47,920 –> 00:00:54,460

there’s a lot of other modalities out there that we really care about and we are very, very big

9

00:00:54,460 –> 00:00:59,260

believers in the Miracle Magnet Movement which states that all modalities matter. It’s not just

10

00:00:59,260 –> 00:01:04,880

Western medicine, it’s all the pieces. There’s so many amazing things on the planet and we’re gonna

11

00:01:04,880 –> 00:01:10,520

bring you as many as we can and today we’ll be speaking with our beautiful guest Jennifer Hawkins

12

00:01:10,520 –> 00:01:16,320

who is the co-developer of The Love Your Vibe Transformation, Personal Development SOULution for

13

00:01:16,320 –> 00:01:21,480

Heart Centered Humans along with Eleanor Hayward. The two of them came together when COVID hit and

14

00:01:21,480 –> 00:01:27,960

they created a beautiful six-month program that virtually every graduate wishes to facilitate as

15

00:01:27,960 –> 00:01:33,960

well. So our team is growing on the planet because the more we can get this work out into the right

16

00:01:33,960 –> 00:01:40,740

hearts and minds and souls, the more we can raise the vibration of humanity and we believe that when

17

00:01:40,740 –> 00:01:47,720

that happens we can have Heaven on Earth. So that’s what we believe in, right ladies? Yay! Awesome!

18

00:01:47,720 –> 00:01:53,080

So let’s get started. We’re gonna ask Jennifer some questions about her journey because your

19

00:01:53,080 –> 00:02:00,320

modality Jennifer, you did a lot of personal development and the Miracle Mindset definitely

20

00:02:00,320 –> 00:02:04,680

helped you to go from Crap Magnet to Miracle Magnet where you started attracting better things

21

00:02:04,680 –> 00:02:11,480

and then you found that there was more healing that needed to be done which was not part of

22

00:02:11,480 –> 00:02:18,280

The Love Your Vibe Transformation. You needed more, right? So tell us a little bit about the

23

00:02:18,280 –> 00:02:26,240

more that you discovered and what it did for you. Well I think and it became a buzzword

24

00:02:26,240 –> 00:02:37,760

I think for a while through COVID is trauma and I knew I had experienced trauma as a young teenager

25

00:02:37,760 –> 00:02:45,080

in the form of being raped and that was I cognitively knew that but what I didn’t recognize is the

26

00:02:45,080 –> 00:02:52,160

effects of trauma on the body and how the nervous system is affected because of the trauma that I

27

00:02:52,160 –> 00:02:57,280

experienced as a child and from a young childhood I mean trauma comes in a lot of different forms.

28

00:02:57,280 –> 00:03:05,040

It’s too much, too fast, too soon of anything. Too much, too fast, too soon. Keep that in mind.

29

00:03:05,040 –> 00:03:09,880

And that’s really important because it could even be a good thing if it’s too much, too fast,

30

00:03:09,880 –> 00:03:14,440

too soon that causes the body to become dysregulated. The nervous system becomes dysregulated.

31

00:03:14,440 –> 00:03:21,120

So as I was on my journey of doing the mindset work I found myself getting really triggered or

32

00:03:21,120 –> 00:03:30,120

activated by again the too much, too fast, too soon and the mind trying to overwrite a belief

33

00:03:30,120 –> 00:03:36,000

that was in my body. So the nervous system responds with memory and it’s not necessarily

34

00:03:36,000 –> 00:03:40,240

in the mind but the body retains these memories. In the unconscious. In the unconscious. Right,

35

00:03:40,240 –> 00:03:45,440

right. The body is the unconscious, right? The body is the unconscious. The trigger is the

36

00:03:45,440 –> 00:03:51,120

unconscious mind reaching for help. It’s speaking to us. I got chills over. Yeah, that’s amazing.

37

00:03:51,120 –> 00:03:58,880

It’s speaking to us and I spent the majority of my life in my head. When I look back I’m like I was

38

00:03:58,880 –> 00:04:04,080

like this big floating head. The over thinker. Oh yeah. Right? And we all have different links.

39

00:04:04,080 –> 00:04:10,080

Which is a coping mechanism to trauma. Yeah. Totally. Totally. I went into deep alcohol addiction,

40

00:04:12,080 –> 00:04:17,440

over sexed, anything that would take me away from feeling what I was feeling because it didn’t make

41

00:04:17,440 –> 00:04:23,760

sense. I had no one to talk to. We moved around a lot as a child. My father was in the military.

42

00:04:23,760 –> 00:04:30,800

So I never had a safe place. There’s never a safe place and you think your parents would be that

43

00:04:30,800 –> 00:04:35,920

safe place but that isn’t always the case because our parents are also traumatized and we’re shown

44

00:04:35,920 –> 00:04:42,320

how to parent by their parents. So they never mean ill but they just don’t have the capacity

45

00:04:42,320 –> 00:04:47,920

to create those really secure bonds as children and that’s what creates our coping mechanisms

46

00:04:47,920 –> 00:04:53,200

and how we show up in relationships, codependency, you know all of these pieces. Juicy stuff.

47

00:04:53,200 –> 00:05:01,040

So for me finding a somatic healer and doing this therapy called felt sense which was

48

00:05:01,040 –> 00:05:10,800

Eugene Gendlin. Okay. And it’s a beautiful. Sorry we’re outside on my back and there’s a lot of

49

00:05:10,800 –> 00:05:21,600

mosquitos. Real, not perfect! Okay. It’s allowing the body to express and the body actually has a

50

00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:27,360

different language. Our mind wants to automatically come up with the answer, right? The mind wants to

51

00:05:27,360 –> 00:05:32,720

figure this out. What is it? Fast, quick, get it over and done with and the body speaks very,

52

00:05:32,720 –> 00:05:40,320

very slowly. So as I began healing that disconnection and listening to the promps of the body,

53

00:05:41,280 –> 00:05:46,560

it just opened up this whole other level of healing that I would never have been aware of.

54

00:05:46,560 –> 00:05:52,160

I just was not, for me it had to be logical. It was going to be logical. Give me the magic pill

55

00:05:52,160 –> 00:05:59,120

and I’ll be fixed. Yeah. Can anyone relate to that? Yeah. Right. And it was great. I’m like,

56

00:05:59,120 –> 00:06:05,040

why am I not better? Because what you said, something you had said was that like your brain

57

00:06:05,040 –> 00:06:09,600

can hear one thing but your body says something else. So for example, part of the culture that

58

00:06:09,600 –> 00:06:14,080

we create with The Love Your Vibe Transformation is that everybody is safe, seen, celebrated,

59

00:06:14,080 –> 00:06:18,640

and supported. And in your head, you can be in a safe space but your body is still saying,

60

00:06:18,640 –> 00:06:24,160

I don’t feel safe. So tell us more about that because safety is big for you. Safety is big

61

00:06:24,160 –> 00:06:31,200

because I never felt safe. So it’s interesting that even in a safe space with close friends,

62

00:06:31,200 –> 00:06:37,760

my body has a memory of different stories, different events, and I don’t necessarily

63

00:06:37,760 –> 00:06:43,200

remember them cognitively, but the body’s saying this isn’t safe. As soon as questions get asked,

64

00:06:43,200 –> 00:06:50,000

I react. Because in my past, people asking questions were building ammunition against

65

00:06:50,960 –> 00:06:57,680

me. Wow. And so this had happened, but it replayed over and over and over. So the fact that I’ve now

66

00:06:57,680 –> 00:07:03,680

reconnected to that part, when I’m in a situation, I have more awareness that I can hold myself and

67

00:07:03,680 –> 00:07:10,640

build capacity to be in that discomfort. What does it mean to hold yourself? It’s seeing the

68

00:07:10,640 –> 00:07:16,240

activation and not suppressing it. Or is it seeing or feeling it? You’re holding it in your body.

69

00:07:16,240 –> 00:07:21,040

Okay. So the body’s holding it. Here it is, the emotion’s coming up. I don’t know what it is.

70

00:07:21,040 –> 00:07:28,080

It’s butterflies in my stomach. It’s my hands tingling. It’s any number of things. And I can

71

00:07:28,080 –> 00:07:33,360

sit with it instead of being like, you know, running off to something else, going to grab a bottle of wine

72

00:07:33,360 –> 00:07:39,840

or, you know, just ignoring it. Okay. So holding yourself is feeling the feelings. Is that right,

73

00:07:39,840 –> 00:07:46,000

Jennifer? Yeah. And being in the discomfort of it. And that takes titration. They call it titration,

74

00:07:46,000 –> 00:07:50,400

where you eat a little bit at a time. Because trauma doesn’t, you don’t have to have a memory

75

00:07:50,400 –> 00:08:00,960

to hold yourself in trauma in a somatic healing. You don’t need to have a memory. It’s just holding

76

00:08:01,600 –> 00:08:08,480

space in the body for what’s here. What’s here now. I love you. I’m listening. I love you. I’m

77

00:08:08,480 –> 00:08:14,080

listening. And allow the body to start communicating. That comes in. And all of a sudden your knees will

78

00:08:14,080 –> 00:08:19,120

start to tingle. Oh, wow. And it’ll travel up to your head. My body’s tingling now, just talking about it.

79

00:08:19,120 –> 00:08:23,040

So the body communicates and this is what it’s designed to do. You’re designed to be able to

80

00:08:23,040 –> 00:08:30,640

heal ourselves. But because we’ve suppressed and bypassed those emotional responses that we were

81

00:08:30,640 –> 00:08:36,000

never able to complete. So the fight and the flight, in most cases as children, we couldn’t have ran

82

00:08:36,000 –> 00:08:44,880

away and we couldn’t have fought. So we bury it. So that’s held, that’s from infancy.

83

00:08:45,920 –> 00:08:51,200

But it’s stored in the body and it gets brought out again to protect us. So it’s not, again,

84

00:08:51,200 –> 00:08:55,600

not shaming that part because it was designed to protect us. And thank God our nervous systems

85

00:08:55,600 –> 00:09:01,520

are designed the way they are because they got us to where we are today. But to become aware of how

86

00:09:01,520 –> 00:09:08,640

the body speaks to you, it’s very slow. It’s very languid. And it’s scared because it hasn’t been

87

00:09:08,640 –> 00:09:15,760

heard for 30 or 40 years. It hasn’t been witnessed. It hasn’t been allowed to share what it’s going

88

00:09:15,760 –> 00:09:22,640

through. And I don’t have all the language in all the bits. Iโ€™m actually beginning a study

89

00:09:23,280 –> 00:09:30,880

in integrative somatic trauma therapy the end of next month, September 1st.

90

00:09:30,880 –> 00:09:35,440

And I’m really excited to delve into this more because what I found, I just recently finished

91

00:09:36,160 –> 00:09:40,080

mentoring with The Love Your Vibe, a six-month program at a local woman’s shelter.

92

00:09:41,520 –> 00:09:46,400

And it was just so beautiful. And if I could just share, one of the ladies said that, you know,

93

00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:52,000

they have a lot of people coming in to provide facilitation and different modalities. I’m not

94

00:09:52,000 –> 00:09:58,000

sure exactly, different programs. And what she’d said was that people come in and they talk at them.

95

00:09:58,000 –> 00:10:02,800

And these women are highly traumatized. They’re highly traumatized. So all of a sudden,

96

00:10:02,800 –> 00:10:09,120

this person’s coming in. Physical, verbal, and also this person can say, no, that’s not right.

97

00:10:09,120 –> 00:10:15,040

Do it this way. That is going to actually re-traumatize them. So what this woman communicated

98

00:10:15,040 –> 00:10:19,920

with means that how I held space, and that’s because of my trauma awareness, that I was able

99

00:10:19,920 –> 00:10:25,360

to just listen and not make them wrong, not correct them, just they were safe, seen, celebrated,

100

00:10:25,360 –> 00:10:30,400

and supported. And that for them was the transformation that they needed to be able to see themselves.

101

00:10:30,400 –> 00:10:37,600

Wow. Yeah. And they walked through the other side after six months. So that, it just really anchored

102

00:10:37,600 –> 00:10:42,720

for me how important the somatic work is, where it really, I was like, I need to learn more about

103

00:10:42,720 –> 00:10:48,880

this so I can take, because the somatic practice doesn’t take, it doesn’t take long. It can be

104

00:10:48,880 –> 00:10:54,160

really, really quick. You can shift it quickly. But to have those tools that I can share those,

105

00:10:54,160 –> 00:10:58,960

so that would be like my little magic in our six-month program. That little magic that I can say,

106

00:10:58,960 –> 00:11:05,280

here’s it here, hold this. Magic and modality is the same thing. We talk about all modalities matter,

107

00:11:05,280 –> 00:11:10,080

and people can serve with their story, their message, and their magic. And each of these ladies

108

00:11:10,080 –> 00:11:15,120

has amazing stories. I have my story, and our message is, you know, you don’t have to be here,

109

00:11:15,120 –> 00:11:19,680

you can be over here, and your magic or modality is how did you get there, right? So thank you. I

110

00:11:19,680 –> 00:11:25,200

just wanted to explain that. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, so it’s been really wonderful. And

111

00:11:28,480 –> 00:11:34,400

I want to remind people, like, you know, starting this journey, it’s an ebb and the flow. You know,

112

00:11:35,280 –> 00:11:39,440

you’ll go through times where you’re like, oh yeah, I see the growth, I see the healing, I see it,

113

00:11:39,440 –> 00:11:44,080

and then all of a sudden it feels like it’s declining. But what we forget is that we need

114

00:11:44,080 –> 00:11:48,880

that integration time. We need that time where this new thing that I’ve learned, this thing that

115

00:11:48,880 –> 00:11:54,400

I’ve healed needs time to now be incorporated into ourselves. And then you’ll find maybe a time

116

00:11:54,400 –> 00:11:59,360

where it’s just like this plateau, where there’s just, it’s not up or down. It’s just kind of like

117

00:11:59,360 –> 00:12:04,560

I’m just coasting along. And I, you know, I’ve been there, what’s wrong with me? Why is this not, why

118

00:12:04,560 –> 00:12:10,000

am I not better? Why am I not moving forward? And it’s the time where that integration piece

119

00:12:10,000 –> 00:12:14,560

is really, really important. And it’s having that compassion and patience with yourself,

120

00:12:14,560 –> 00:12:21,040

that it’s all part of the journey. You didn’t get to where you were in one year. I mean, it

121

00:12:21,040 –> 00:12:27,200

took me 35 years, 40 years to get here. So do you, do I actually think that it’s going to be, I’m

122

00:12:27,200 –> 00:12:31,120

going to, I’m going to heal this in six months? No, no, no, no. There’s layers. It takes what it

123

00:12:31,120 –> 00:12:35,440

takes. It takes what it takes. So that is one thing for me in the lesson of healing

124

00:12:36,320 –> 00:12:41,440

was that there’s no timeline. There’s ebbs and flows, highs and lows,

125

00:12:41,440 –> 00:12:50,800

breakdowns and breakthroughs. And as long as there’s a movement and you don’t give up on yourself,

126

00:12:51,520 –> 00:12:57,440

you’re going to have low, slow days and just holding and the capacity is like holding yourself

127

00:12:57,440 –> 00:13:02,400

in that I’m not bad and wrong. There’s nothing wrong with me. This is just what it is right now.

128

00:13:03,600 –> 00:13:08,560

Right. And not letting the monkey mind saying, Oh, you’re not good enough. You’re not capable.

129

00:13:08,560 –> 00:13:14,560

Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that’s so beautiful. And I love the idea that, you know, people don’t

130

00:13:14,560 –> 00:13:20,720

necessarily have to go to meds to numb out because they’re so uncomfortable. They can do this work.

131

00:13:20,720 –> 00:13:25,600

They can get, you know, comfortable in the end and the discomfort and, and just ride it through.

132

00:13:25,600 –> 00:13:31,680

Because on the other side there’s peace, right? And it’s vulnerable courage. Yeah. Vulnerability

133

00:13:31,680 –> 00:13:35,920

creates connection. Yeah. I love that. And we can share. And you’re the queen of vulnerability.

134

00:13:35,920 –> 00:13:41,200

Yeah. And that’s what our story is. Yeah. My story happened to me and I can be a victim from it. And

135

00:13:41,200 –> 00:13:46,960

I have been happy to know you, but I can now use it as a message to encourage people that if she can

136

00:13:46,960 –> 00:13:52,800

do it, I can too. Yeah, exactly. Right. And that’s what several of the ladies in my group said, if you

137

00:13:52,800 –> 00:14:00,080

can do this, I can too. And I’m like, yes, you can. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Snaps for the dark, you know,

138

00:14:00,080 –> 00:14:07,360

the dark, you know, mushrooms grow in the dark. They grow in shit. Right. Yes. Yeah. And our shit,

139

00:14:07,360 –> 00:14:11,680

while it happens, because Forrest Gump tells us.. shit happens.. oh, you stole my punchline.

140

00:14:14,960 –> 00:14:20,960

I just love that. I’m sorry. That’s good. As Forrest Gump says, yes. Yeah. Shit happens. Yeah. Okay.

141

00:14:20,960 –> 00:14:24,320

Thank you Skyward TV. If that offends anybody, then maybe this isn’t the right show for you.

142

00:14:25,040 –> 00:14:30,000

We are about being real, not perfect. Yeah. Yeah. As you can see with all the bugs flying around.

143

00:14:30,000 –> 00:14:34,960

Shit’s really fertilizer. Like it is. It’s our best fertilizer. So, which means that we’ve got to go

144

00:14:34,960 –> 00:14:40,720

through it to learn.. some of the language is: We process it, we integrate it, we metabolize it,

145

00:14:40,720 –> 00:14:47,040

we alchemize it, so that we can learn from it. Because I think one of the misnomers about

146

00:14:47,040 –> 00:14:51,840

healing through your path is like, just forget about it. You’ll get over it. But as you’re saying,

147

00:14:51,840 –> 00:14:55,600

your body doesn’t forget. Your unconsciousness doesnโ€™t forget. There’s actually a book called

148

00:14:55,600 –> 00:15:03,680

The Body Keeps Score. By Bessel van der Kolk. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And how can you remember it,

149

00:15:03,680 –> 00:15:09,440

but remove the emotional charge from it? How can you start to flip the script on that? Like what

150

00:15:09,440 –> 00:15:14,240

were the lessons that were learned there? How can you, like was there a silver lining to the storm

151

00:15:14,240 –> 00:15:20,320

cloud? Because sometimes the storm cloud is just so up close and you’re in the thick of the storm

152

00:15:20,320 –> 00:15:27,520

where there’s deep emotions like shame, grief, guilt, resentment, anger, jealousy, anger, fear.

153

00:15:28,160 –> 00:15:31,280

That when we’re stuck, and this is what we refer to as the Crap Magnet Zone.

154

00:15:34,640 –> 00:15:39,120

Because if that’s inside of you, then that’s usually what comes out at you in terms of

155

00:15:40,080 –> 00:15:46,640

your behavior, your actions, your coping, and then your relationships, your job, everything else

156

00:15:46,640 –> 00:15:53,360

kind of cascades from there. And so how do you shift that cycle? It’s increasing awareness.

157

00:15:54,400 –> 00:16:05,840

And can you fill in the blank? Can you build resilience and capacity to be able to,

158

00:16:05,840 –> 00:16:14,080

and I think I’ve said along, this journey is all about self-awareness. It’s not about looking

159

00:16:14,080 –> 00:16:20,480

outside of you and finding the reason why this happened. It’s not about that. There’s all these

160

00:16:20,480 –> 00:16:26,080

fingers pointing back at you, everything. And if I could just share a quick story, I’m going through

161

00:16:26,080 –> 00:16:33,280

a breakdown right now in the form of my son has gone incommunicado with me. I’ve not seen him

162

00:16:33,280 –> 00:16:41,920

all summer and I had a breakdown, but I was able to shift in a matter of a week, like from the deep

163

00:16:41,920 –> 00:16:48,400

dark depths where I was feeling like I didn’t want to be on this planet anymore. Been there.

164

00:16:48,400 –> 00:16:54,240

Holding myself through that with some support. I got a little bit of support, but I had to,

165

00:16:54,240 –> 00:16:58,320

I had to go through that again because that was another trauma that was coming up for me,

166

00:16:58,320 –> 00:17:07,040

abandonment and rejection. And here my son, my blood, my heart. Right. And, and my beautiful

167

00:17:07,040 –> 00:17:14,000

colleague, Elvira helped, helped held me through. I have to take radical responsibility for the part

168

00:17:14,000 –> 00:17:22,560

I played. I have to be able to apologize from the deepest parts of me because I raised my son the

169

00:17:22,560 –> 00:17:28,320

best I could with the knowledge and the wisdom that I had, but I was a traumatized, basically,

170

00:17:28,320 –> 00:17:33,840

I was the emotional equivalent of a 14 year old, which is when I got raped. So I was raising my

171

00:17:33,840 –> 00:17:41,840

child as best as I could, but all of my coping, all of my codependency, I put a lot on him

172

00:17:41,840 –> 00:17:48,400

emotionally and he’s just finally, just couldn’t take it anymore. So I’ve not done it yet, but

173

00:17:48,400 –> 00:17:54,000

invitation to have these clearing conversations if they’re right, but I, I’m far enough in my

174

00:17:54,000 –> 00:18:00,000

journey that after some really good clearing tears, I’m like, Elvira, you’re right. I got to

175

00:18:00,000 –> 00:18:05,200

write this letter. I have to be able to send him a voice message or cause he won’t answer the phone,

176

00:18:05,200 –> 00:18:10,320

but I’ll send him a voice message and I can clear my shit up because it’s my shit. Yeah. And even if

177

00:18:10,320 –> 00:18:17,200

he doesn’t respond, he’s a byproduct of the shit, the shit that I was in. So I have to own that,

178

00:18:17,200 –> 00:18:22,080

the radical responsibility and the awareness that it took. And it took the breakdown. I reached out

179

00:18:22,080 –> 00:18:28,160

for a life vest and because of the, you know, the people that I’ve surrounded myself with now,

180

00:18:28,160 –> 00:18:35,040

because of doing this inner work, I got the help that I needed and I’ve now shifted, you know,

181

00:18:35,040 –> 00:18:41,120

I’ve, I’m still going through it, but I’m not in that dark, dark place. So it’s having that person

182

00:18:41,840 –> 00:18:46,640

and having the community around you, which I think that has been integral. I’ve been an independent

183

00:18:46,640 –> 00:18:53,120

hairstylist for 34 years and to be in a community now with the Love Your Vibe and with other, other

184

00:18:53,120 –> 00:18:58,240

mentors that I’ve been working with over the last four years. It’s like, how did I, how did I make it

185

00:18:58,240 –> 00:19:04,000

this far? How did I make it this far? Well, you did, but it was basically survival. Now you’re,

186

00:19:04,000 –> 00:19:09,840

you’ve gone through thrival, right? You’re driving from survival to thrival. And that’s what the Inner

187

00:19:09,840 –> 00:19:15,440

Work can do, right? You don’t have to just survive. You can thrive. And, and so here’s an example of

188

00:19:15,440 –> 00:19:20,720

someone that’s in the midst of the crap still, like she hasn’t resolved this thing with her child,

189

00:19:20,720 –> 00:19:25,040

but you know that it’s going to be okay. And however he responds, he’s going to respond.

190

00:19:25,040 –> 00:19:30,000

He’s not ready for you. He’s not going to be ready, but you’ve at least shared your heart.

191

00:19:30,000 –> 00:19:34,560

You’ve at least taken accountability. You’ve taken responsibility. This Inner Work takes a lot of

192

00:19:34,560 –> 00:19:40,560

courage because you have to have a lot of radical self-awareness and a lot of radical responsibility.

193

00:19:40,560 –> 00:19:46,720

And then you’re able to shift things because when we get something like, oh my God, I’ve been showing

194

00:19:46,720 –> 00:19:52,000

up like this my whole life. I don’t want to do this anymore. I want to be this. That’s transformation.

195

00:19:52,000 –> 00:19:58,320

And that is what can save, you know, that can save relationships. It can save, you know, like jobs

196

00:19:58,320 –> 00:20:02,960

that aren’t going well. Like it could save your mental health, you know, your physical health,

197

00:20:02,960 –> 00:20:09,200

because you’re able to get real. That is what Dr. Phil talks about getting real, like being who you

198

00:20:09,200 –> 00:20:15,520

are and stating your truth and, and, and embracing your light and your dark and your light in your

199

00:20:15,520 –> 00:20:21,520

shadow, because we’re all light beings, but we also have a shadow. And unless we love the shadow piece

200

00:20:21,520 –> 00:20:26,720

of ourselves, we can’t live in the light. So that’s what this Inner Work is about. It’s yes. Thank you.

201

00:20:26,720 –> 00:20:32,480

And, and so we’re blessed to wrap up. Yeah. Yeah. That’s amazing. So, so we invite you to follow us

202

00:20:32,480 –> 00:20:39,040
