It was muted. So how do we say your name? It's Javanca. Javanca. Okay. Yes. Yes. And you go by Nat Nat. Yes, I do. Nice. So how's your morning been going? Oh, we're in a heatwave. And my AC just went so I got to find a technician to see what's going on because it's running but there's no cool air coming in the house so no way. Yeah, and we're in because I'm in Canada. So we go by cell
seas so it's like 30 already. So probably with the humidity it's close to 40 so close to the hundreds in humidity. So yeah, yeah, we're in and it's not easy note till probably maybe tomorrow they're saying or Friday, but it's been here since Monday. Yeah. And that just sounds like our everyday
thing here. I'm in San Antonio, Texas. Okay, it hasn't been less than 98. Okay. Yes, yes. 98 plus humidity and a drizzle of rain and I don't think the AC goes off in any anyplace at all. It's just been extremely hot and this isn't our hottest month our hottest month is in August, which is usually 102 to 105 for at least two weeks straight. So it's, it's, it's getting
there. It's bearable but we'll we'll deal with it. Yeah. Climate change is real. And I think, you know, the narrative where I'm just going intuitively and internally. Humans like to control things and think things will stay the same, where we don't know Earth's patterns. And so when it doesn't coincide with what will be sustainable for humans, we have to put this narrative towards it and then start working towards
trying to make a change and try to do this and try not saying that yes, humans pollute humans are doing a real thing with the earth. Yet in the part of the you know, the heat and the ozone layer and stuff. I don't know that possibly the earth isn't changing in a way that it needs to go through its dimensions and its seasons and its layers. Because if you know, we have the narrative of the dinosaurs and the ice age, why
couldn't we have the heat age also? Exactly. So never thought about it like that. So recognizing like, are we creating habitats that will be sustainable? Like, if we're trying to go to Mars, that doesn't have any air or any water or anything and trying to build a whole new civilization there. Why are we not creating habitats that would be able to sustain whatever heat or extreme cold that we like, you know, there's people that live in the arts
and they're sick and we've created habitats to be able to survive there. Why are we not doing the same for the population here? Yes, that's a great question. Because at the end of the day, we're going to have to do what we need to do in order to survive here. And some of these things that we're experiencing in different areas and I'm originally from Denver, Colorado. So this is like, yeah, two different ends of the spectrum. So I'm, I'm, I'm definitely realizing that when it's really hot here and I call back home, it's
hot there. And I'm like, this has never happened before. This is different. And, or they're actually higher in, in the, in the degrees than we are. And I'm like, are you kidding me? I also realize that whatever tends to happen there sometimes we follow. So it's, it's just one of those things where I don't even think we were walking. Let me just say this. We were walking not too, not too long ago, my husband, my dog and I, and we were looking on the weather app because the clouds look like it's going to rain.
Weather app said no rain, no rain. Now, now probably maybe less than 10 minutes later, we're just blinking. Like what in the world? We actually have no control over anything nowadays. And I think that that's one, one thing that I can accept is that the fact that because the world is changing and nothing is consistent, it's consistently inconsistent. I think that's the way the world is right now. Until, like you said, until they realize that we need more
help here than they do on Mars and us trying to figure out how to live there. I think that they have a lot of work to do, but from speaking in the words of, of, of knowing that I have no control over it. I'm just like, okay, I'll just live in it. And I'll run in the house and immediately.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. And it's, you know, it's intuitively coming back to being connected in nature and you, we can feel when we're seeing certain clouds or seeing certain winds or it's like, something feels a little off and we've been conditioned not to be in that guidance.
We've been conditioned that something other than us knows better and all that and not saying that technology can't forecast, can't see certain air patterns yet us with our naked eye and our vibrations and the way our body can tune into things.
Yes, that we can be that tuning fork that we've learned not to listen to that. Like when our elderly's our ancestors and our elderly's used to talk about, oh, I got eggs, there's rain coming or this is coming or that. And we'd be like, ah, where it's like, oh, you had some sense, but we were just taught that that was woo woo. And there's no way that you could understand that where it's like we're a part of nature. That's where our body and our physiology all came from. Like, that's why we need electrolytes and minerals to support us.
We need electrolytes and minerals to sustain ourselves. But it's the simplicity that we have been indoctrinated to look at complicated. Like we're complex, but we're not complicated. But if you complicate things and people can never find out what the solution is, and they don't think it can come that easily.
Yeah, it's simple. It doesn't mean it's not complex. Like it will take some understanding. Like, you know, I think, especially in Texas, you've had enough hurricanes or floodings that have been going on that. Listen, why are we not constructing better homes to be able to, you know, withstand these kind of elements so we're not displaced?
And, you know, insurance companies aren't, you know, charging us an arm and a leg and then not even providing the necessary help to rebuild of what we're creating and stuff like that. And does that mean possibly some houses have to downsize and be able to be sustainable?
And I'm like, if people had to make a choice, you have a home that's going to be able to withstand hurricanes and flooding compared to, oh, well, you'll have this big home that will give you the lavish life or empty space or whatever there is, but there's no guarantee with it.
I think a lot of people would be like, give me the home that will be able to withstand these things because more and more it's coming. It's not like it's not like dissipating. These things are coming and it's becoming more, people are becoming more displaced.
So it's like, the first thing is where are we speaking about housing and habitats where we'll be able to withstand the elements of nature?
Absolutely. And I agree with that because I have some understanding in that, which is a great segue to lift oneself.
So we are doing a pre-show and this pre-show will use some of these clips to elevate or put your business out there. You will be able to have some of these to actually put them out there.
This is just pretty much us getting to know you, me getting to know you, getting to know me and then moving forward. So we definitely have some questions and some things going on. May I ask, where are you?
I'm in Ottawa, Canada. So that's the capital of Canada.
Nice, nice. Is that home for you?
Yeah, that's where I live. Well, yet I was born in Sudbury. So that's, it's still Canada, just up north from Ottawa.
Okay. And then lift oneself came from?
Meditation. Yeah. And in my own lived experience, because I almost died 10 years ago, I had lesions in my brainstem and my cerebellum.
And thankfully to meditation, I was able to better understand the nervous system and regulate it.
So lift oneself came in the meditation where lift the ego, which is our defense mechanisms that tries to protect our vulnerability.
And then you, once you remove those defense mechanisms, you're in the oneself.
You can really understand, you know, the void or the oneness or God, whatever name you call that space where connects all the energies together.
So, wow, wow. Well, I'm super stoked to even see you here because I'm sure there was some some statements that was made that probably may not have had you here.
But I'm happy to be sitting here with you and hearing that testimony, because at the end of the day, some people will turn to the other side and not actually lift oneself up and really just take on that diagnosis or the things that are there and live within that.
And you actually changed that and made it something completely different. And I applaud you for that.
As far as everything else goes, as I see that you have you have one hour sessions as well on your site.
Okay. And then you have a book out. Not yet. I'm in the process of writing the book. Okay.
And then June 23rd, you have something coming out. What's that? It's a in person event here in Ottawa. So it's creating a space for people that the title is called Give Yourself Space, where a lot of people are always saying they don't have time yet.
They know that they need to regulate their nervous system. So it's a space of an hour and a half where we go into some mindful practices.
And then I help people to down regulate their vagus nerve so that they can go into a meditation and be able to really regulate and semantically release some emotions that may be lodged into their body so that they can have a better way of coming back into the body, because a lot of us are stuck in our head rather than being in our body.
So that's what the spaces that I'm providing. Yes. Okay, so it sort of reminds me of like, sitting in a room and everybody is sitting on either blocks or a yoga mat. So is that what the how will you have there.
It's a very intimate boutique. So there's 14 people for the space, we can push it to 17. Yet, I wanted it small for right now, so that we can really create a community and be together and be vulnerable so that there's some space between the mat.
So if somebody needs to release their cry, they can do that without feeling that they're, you know, inconveniencing somebody next to them or they feel uncomfortable to do that. So one of the feedbacks that I got from some of the clients the last month session was like, can you have tissue boxes right beside our mats because I really had a release and I needed something just to clean myself up with, because I think the deep vulnerability of tears can affect the way that we're
feeling. So, you know, when you feel very harmful to people feel feel very threatening. Yet when you can allow yourself to be tender and to let those tears release. It's without words to explain what happens internally for a person and having 14 people there it seems like, like you said more intimate and more of a safe space, you know, so
I'm not going to cry I've done meditation before and bald at the same time. Good thing I was by myself so you know whatever came out was just there. But I totally understand and I, I can honestly say I see and I hear your vision but I'm going to put this question on here, just to get a clear understanding
of what you're saying. Tell me more about your vision for lift oneself. So my vision is exactly the word that she said is to create safety and sacred spaces, and it's also change. And so what I know about changes changes within.
If we can hold the space for people to go within their body, then they can begin to change and then that starts to ignite all around us. And that's where we see a different world. Everybody wants to say they want to change in the world, yet they're not willing to do their own work,
and that's where we see the change. And that's exactly it's that what is that one finger pointing at someone else and the rest pointing back at you and knowing that we have to do the work on our own and that that definitely aligns with what you've been saying is just creating a safe space to be vulnerable and to have understanding that it's okay to
cry and, but it's also a good time to reflect and understand that it starts with you before you can actually change the world we really can't change unless we do change ourselves.
And another one too is I know we talked about sadness, and, you know, peace. There's also be friend in anger, anger is a very healthy emotion also and to be able to let go of the race rage. You know when you're feeling helpless, and there's a lot of things that are going on in the world that
are there to help you get out of that makes us feel helpless so it ignites the anger and rage, and your body needs some expression. And so, working with it rather than, you know, repressing it or suppressing it or actually taking some actions that you don't want to because
you don't want to show up that you want to show up. So it's actually working with the energy and changing the narrative of, well, what is this actual emotion, what are the underpinning so that I can stay within myself and not tell myself I should be something
else or feel something other than what my experiences makes makes all the sense in the world I remember hearing the boiling pot. And I believe that that's us taking our anger and suppressing it and pushing it down and down and down or, and then topping it with so many
other things until that one day comes where you can't control anything in that pot and it's just boiling and it's just like boom and now you put yourself in a situation to where there's, there's nothing else you can do but show the anger that you've pressed down so much so I
really, I really do love that I love that you said that because so many people say it's horrible to be angry, it's, it's, it's, it's then coming out and it's more rage. I think there is a healthy angry, you know there is a healthy anger and the rage is the part that
where you end up suppressing and now it's just coming out on everyone and everything so I definitely, I can see that and I and I love that. I totally love that. When it comes to all of this and you starting this how long have you been, how long has this been going on for you,
this business. I created lift oneself in 2019 the summer of it, and then bang COVID happened. I was about to ask. Go ahead, talk about it.
Yes, COVID happened. So that first year, I was in a lot of empathy and seeing that a lot of people were in pain so I offered a lot of freeness and offering my space and actually also as a parent of two, navigating through those waters.
I had already pulled my children out of the school system to do some homeschooling so I wasn't forced into it. So it was a different transition. Yet we did a lot of outdoor things. And so being told that you can't go outdoors and not able to do this and that we had to pivot.
And I had to, you know, take better care of myself with the stress and, you know, being isolated and me seeing it a different way than anybody else. So I had already went through death and had a better relationship with it.
So it gave me more of a curriculum to better have the verbiage and the simplicity in my language to serve others. So that's why this year now I've been on so many podcasts and offering, you know, my presence of there's a different way of being able to better understand your
biology and better understand what regulating your nervous system and what your authentic emotions are. So this is where you know at times you have to get planted again and go down and make sure that those roots are more stronger so that when the winds come you're not getting
pulled out. So that's what COVID did for me and the business to better understand it and what I can offer to others.
Absolutely. Because at that point in time, you had to lift oneself up and everybody else in the home. I had often said during that time, it either make you or break you.
Yeah, you know, just the isolation was just something so different, you know, that never experienced. It was a make or break. And that's in business, that's in oneself, that's in parenting, that's in relationships overall.
I mean, that was a time. So to create this in 2019, it seems like that was something that was divine. You know, it's like, oh, I'm going to put this in your head, but let me take it even further. I'm about to shut the world down. Now what can you do?
Exactly. And it showed me that times, you know, something will be planted in you and we want momentum right away. Yet you have to remember what slow momentum is and see that do you have the patience for the endurance of the long term?
Yes.
Because when you don't have the attention or the momentum, it's like you want to give up because what's the point where it's like, actually, you might be in a cocoon somewhere to better understand yourself and, you know, like everybody talks about the
caterpillar, the cocoon and the butterfly. What they don't talk about is where the cocoon, the caterpillar is eating itself and turning into goo. So that doesn't feel good. Yet, you aren't seeing that there's transformation going on. So it allowed me to really understand more of a business perspective, where also understanding my ego of needing that validation and recognizing this is much more profound than that.
Absolutely. I love that. I love that. It is so crazy how, you know, our journey is not necessarily set by ourselves, but if we are okay with who we are and within ourselves, the journey can be easily set out for you rather than us taking the wrong road and doing the wrong thing.
So when it comes to being, now you said you've been on several podcasts. When it comes for us, what's your goal for being on the show? What would you like and where, where would you like that to go?
I would love to create collaboration and understand that the listeners that are listening in, you're here for a reason. And I just want to direct you back within yourself even more and to know that there's community out there. So like minded of what you guys are creating out into the podcast world and YouTube world of showing people that you can have a vision for your life, no matter how small or big it may look like. It's your vision and it matters.
So I just want to amplify that to remind people that there's so much more potential in themselves yet they just have to regulate their nervous system. And once they do, that's where the magic begins.
Absolutely. I love that. I love that. So with you doing this and you actually, I believe, I guess I would say that this had taken flight really 2021-22 for you.
Yeah, about that. Another thing that happened is in 2022, my friend was diagnosed with breast cancer and then pancreatic cancer all in a span of three months. So I was assisting her and she was only given three months to live. Yet here she is about, in March it was a year. So we're in July now.
And like she says, if it wasn't for me, she wouldn't be here. So that took, you know, that also showed what I'm able to do with the regulation in, you know, regulating the nervous system and helping to bring back homeostasis and stuff like that.
So I would say 2023 is where I've been now really supporting Lift OneSelf and bringing it out to the masses so that they can see what's possible within their own biology.
Absolutely. So everything that you pretty much do is pretty much online, right? And over the telephone and is that Zoom as well?
It's Zoom. I do my sessions through Zoom so that I can see the body image because I can hear it in a tone also because I can feel it energetically. Yet I want to create safety also so that when somebody sees an expression that they can see that I can reveal my vulnerability and somebody's not going to turn away.
So that brings more safety into the world. And when I see people, I can see when they're blocking certain emotions. So I'll be like, bring that out. Like what's that right there? Let's let it come out so it can have the light of your awareness and it can see that it's safe to feel that expression and go through the arc of the charge.
So your position in this, is it energy healer? Or what is your title, may I ask?
I title it energy healing, yet I think I'm going to go more into regulating the nervous system because that's what I'm doing because I really understand the nervous system.
Because like I said, those lesions in my brainstem and my cerebellum gave me a front seat window with the nervous system and seeing these chemical dumps and I had to relearn how to walk and formulate thoughts together and take actions and bring back energy into my body to be able to function and everything else.
It's going to be probably that's where I'm going to pivot where it's going to be nervous system regulation by anchoring in your breath.
Got it. Got it. So as a leader in this and everywhere that you're wanting to go, where do you see the challenges? And this is a question that we ask everyone.
When it comes to funding your vision, why do you believe that leaders hide from funding their vision?
So although you're on Zoom, and I'm sure you're at a place right now where your Zoom is not the free Zoom, right?
You're now trying to fund your vision and where you're going to go, where are you going to go? Where are you headed to?
And what does that look like? And how do you feel about leaders funding their vision?
You know, with anything that you believe in, you're going to have to use the currency to spend. So you're going to have to spend. You're going to have to fund.
I think at the beginning when 2020 happened, I got to see that I had a relationship with currency, which is money funding, yet there was still a part where it was blocking me.
And so this year, that's why I'm putting myself out, because I understand that I'm deserving of receiving. And that's the work that leaders have to do.
It's very good to give, give, give all the time. Yet you also have to learn to receive and understand that if you believe in a higher power, then that funding will be supported.
And you'll be in alignment of finding those doors and those opportunities. And it's going to take some action that is needed for yourself.
Yet it really takes a different relationship with currency to understand where can we go and take some risks.
Like any business, you're going to have to go into the unknown and uncertainty. You're going to have to take some risks and some gambles.
Yet be intentional with it so that if there is a loss, that you will see it as a learning loss. It's not like a loss.
There's still something to be taught and learned in so that you can still pivot and still keep momentum.
So I think with the vision that I have, I'm doing these small, intimate ways, yet I'm envisioning bigger retreats and bigger stages, bringing myself in different places of the world
so that when they're in my frequency of my nervous system, they can feel that safety so that they can regulate their own nervous system and see what's possible.
Because like you said, I'm living testimony of something that you don't see as much, yet I'm living proof that there is things that are possible.
I love this. I so love this because it fits. It all fits with lifting, lift oneself, you know, and everything that I've read on your website.
And then I also went and I saw some of your podcast on Facebook and I was like, OK, this.
And then for you to come on and it all to marry, I think that's one of the things that we have come to see.
So transparency. This is actually my first co-hosting free show.
And then the cool part about it is when we read and I've done things differently and I've been, you know, lifting oneself to say in my past,
but to see and read and then go to the patterns of what you have or what you submitted, it actually marries when you talk while speaking.
So I really, really see that this is this is something that you're very strong, strongly feel about and that you're going to you're going to you're you have a great vision and you're so there.
You know, it's not wavering because of the simple fact this was your own testimony.
And I think that's where a lot of good, good leaders come in at is having their own testimony and being able to take that testimony to actually help somebody else.
So I don't really have any other questions. Do you have anything for me?
What is your vision? What's your vision for you personally and your vision of how you service other people?
My vision is very interesting.
And so when as I'm working on myself right now, I say daily that I want to make a living eulogy and often, you know, seeing so many funerals happen, covid happen and so much death going around.
You see the joy and the love of people when others are gone.
And that's not when we necessarily need to hear it. Right. Because that's that's the spirit talking.
So daily, I want to love unconditionally.
I want to work hard and be kind, which is the shirt that I have on.
And I want to make sure that I realize that no one is disposable.
You know, so we tend to pick and choose.
And for myself, if I can spiritually say, I do believe in God.
And so I think the biggest the biggest thing for us is to love one another.
And that's the true. But sometimes the biggest and the hardest thing is to love people that are hard to love.
So in my daily eulogy and to create that eulogy is to say, I'm going to love you regardless of who you are.
And I'm going to want to be able to connect with you on a level.
And we may not be that connection where we stay together forever, but I can accept you for who you are, because for everyone, there's a story.
Yeah. And so because I may not know that story or nor do I have the opportunity or they don't become that vulnerable to tell me that story.
I know without a shadow of a doubt, everyone has a story and that story can can affect the present.
And that might not be towards me, but it could be just towards the story and that that opportunity to not meeting someone like yourself,
to give them that that space and that safe place to say, I can change, I just have to deal with the gut and everything that's in there that I don't necessarily have control over, nor do I know how to say.
So for me, that's that's that's my vision. Those are the things that I see.
And at the end of the day, I just really believe that that we we don't have control over a lot. Right. And it's OK.
And when you don't have control and you let go and you you try to focus on the day and the present, then I think all is well.
All is. Yes, I love it. I love the synergy.
And I am very honored that I'm the first one to allow you to enter this new space and that we can connect in such a profound way that we can see that there can be ease and softness in life.
It doesn't have to be hard and difficult. Absolutely. So I'm going to work through this magic here because there are some things that I need to send you that I'm going to send you right now.
And I am going to approve the forwardness and going to with Jackson and moving forward in this this this show, because I think that you have a clear vision.
It's not necessarily always about my thought. However, I would love to move forward, be able to provide him with this with the pre show information.
And then but I am now going to work on figuring that out. So give me one moment and I will figure this out. OK.
So.
So I am going to go ahead and end the recording because there are things that I'm going to send you. I have your email. So there are a few things that I'm going to send you. One of those would be how to go ahead and schedule that.
However, I need I need to make sure that you get that. And I want to make sure that you get that. Now I just.
I am so sorry. OK. You don't have to apologize.
The kings of doing things and learning. Yeah, but I'm like, I have this down pat. That is so funny because now I am breaking a sweat sweat.
It's OK. Let's take a moment. Take a pause and technology shifts and changes things and.
Yes, it does. And if we do not create a space for having some patience with these things, then are we really creating change in the world? Absolutely.
I thank you so much. This is so interesting.
Yeah, I'm changing everything. That's so funny. I cannot wait to share this with them like this is interesting.
Sorry.
I just wonder, let's see. Play us some buttons. It's all right. Yes, I'm definitely doing that. And I'm I'm I'm going in on these buttons here.
So where I think that I'm going to do is I'm going to definitely utilize my my manager, my my the host and be able to provide you with what you need that's necessary.
So I am going to go ahead and in the show, I will give you a call. I will make sure that you get everything that you that you need and I will stay on the phone to make sure that you receive it.
And I will, like I said, I have your contact number and I will go ahead and do that for you.
So I want to thank you for your patience. I thank you for sharing your vision. I really see something in you and the vision. So, again, thank you so much.
And just remember to be kind to yourself. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Have a good one. You too. Bye bye. Bye.
