Welcome 00:01:48.109 --> 00:01:51.250 to the show, Mitch. Sheila, thank you for having 00:01:51.250 --> 00:01:55.040 me. I appreciate the introduction. So let's start. 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.379 Yes. Your healing journey began with personal 00:01:59.379 --> 00:02:02.379 struggles and then evolved into helping others 00:02:02.379 --> 00:02:05.480 find their path to wellness. Can you tell me 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.259 a little bit about that defining moment when 00:02:08.259 --> 00:02:11.500 you realized that your personal experience could 00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:15.780 become a catalyst for transformation in others? 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.699 What did that look like? Oh, yeah, sure. I love 00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:24.199 that question. And it takes me back to. Part 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.240 of my journey that I haven't really talked about 00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.080 in a long time, you know, early on, some of the 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.240 things I dealt with, heavy metals, Lyme disease. 00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:36.560 I lived in a house with black mold. And when 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.319 I first was starting to realize that I was sick 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.500 and found myself, very thankfully, at a functional 00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:48.680 medicine doctor that's really going to be geared 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:52.389 around looking at root cause. Because the Western 00:02:52.389 --> 00:02:55.229 medical model had just failed me at that point. 00:02:55.610 --> 00:03:01.669 And I was obsessed with, I really dove into health 00:03:01.669 --> 00:03:05.830 and healing and trying to understand how do I 00:03:05.830 --> 00:03:09.569 eat? How do I move? What supplements to take? 00:03:09.590 --> 00:03:11.729 And what's going on with my body? And how do 00:03:11.729 --> 00:03:18.759 I manage all of this? I'm in this doctor's office. 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.979 It's like a lab. They dealt with patients who 00:03:20.979 --> 00:03:23.759 have Lyme disease. I saw some people that were 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.340 in some really, really tough situations. It was 00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:33.159 hard to watch. Even me at the time, with what 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.099 I was dealing with, I kind of didn't want to 00:03:36.099 --> 00:03:39.479 even understand a whole lot of what Lyme disease 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.300 was. I didn't want to accept a label. I just 00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:44.539 wanted to get better and understand what it was 00:03:44.539 --> 00:03:48.500 going to take to... um to get myself there and 00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:50.759 i'm trying everything that i'm learning on podcasts 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:55.139 um you know i was really into like buyer hacking 00:03:55.139 --> 00:03:58.099 at the time um that's definitely changed but 00:03:58.099 --> 00:04:01.199 it was what i needed in the beginning to just 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.659 start making changes and feel like feel like 00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:06.219 i was in control in a situation that fell out 00:04:06.219 --> 00:04:10.259 of control um but but kind of the way it happened 00:04:10.259 --> 00:04:13.819 is i'm trying all these things and i felt like 00:04:13.819 --> 00:04:16.569 i was the only patient in the office that was 00:04:16.569 --> 00:04:20.170 getting better. Um, and so while I was waiting 00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:23.250 in the, in the waiting room, you know, I just 00:04:23.250 --> 00:04:26.170 started doing what I do, talking to people and 00:04:26.170 --> 00:04:28.589 started asking like, what's going on? What are 00:04:28.589 --> 00:04:30.449 you dealing with? What symptoms? It wasn't, you 00:04:30.449 --> 00:04:34.089 know, what, uh, how you feeling? You know, what 00:04:34.089 --> 00:04:36.529 do you, what are you trying? Like, let's, let's 00:04:36.529 --> 00:04:40.209 chat. And, um, When people started opening up, 00:04:40.209 --> 00:04:41.709 you know, a lot of the things that we were dealing 00:04:41.709 --> 00:04:44.149 with, I'd say physically, mentally, emotionally, 00:04:44.329 --> 00:04:47.029 psychologically, they were all the same, you 00:04:47.029 --> 00:04:52.230 know, and it was cool to, you know, to have that 00:04:52.230 --> 00:04:55.269 connection with someone else. And then, you know, 00:04:55.290 --> 00:04:57.889 I started sharing information of stuff that I 00:04:57.889 --> 00:05:00.910 had found. I'm like, hey, I've had that symptom 00:05:00.910 --> 00:05:03.689 too, and this is what helped me. here's my number 00:05:03.689 --> 00:05:05.629 and like keeping, keeping tight. So let me know 00:05:05.629 --> 00:05:07.930 what's working. You know, I was trying to, as 00:05:07.930 --> 00:05:10.889 I still am, uh, learning what it means to heal. 00:05:10.970 --> 00:05:13.990 And, um, before long, I've got a couple of people 00:05:13.990 --> 00:05:16.149 I'm texting and communicating with and sharing 00:05:16.149 --> 00:05:20.149 information. And, um, I remember, I guess the 00:05:20.149 --> 00:05:22.670 turning point was, was that experience and then 00:05:22.670 --> 00:05:27.170 realizing how hard to find this information. 00:05:27.430 --> 00:05:32.029 Uh, you know, I felt like I'd. learn something 00:05:32.029 --> 00:05:34.629 and then I'd find out it's bad, you know, or 00:05:34.629 --> 00:05:36.870 find out it's not right for me. And there's a 00:05:36.870 --> 00:05:39.449 lot of fear mongering that goes on in the health 00:05:39.449 --> 00:05:42.949 industry and just trying to sift all through 00:05:42.949 --> 00:05:45.170 all of that and figure out what is right for 00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:48.110 me and then sharing that with other people. And 00:05:48.110 --> 00:05:50.529 at that time I was in the corporate world and, 00:05:50.550 --> 00:05:53.269 you know, it was a couple more years before I 00:05:53.269 --> 00:05:55.769 left, but I left because I wanted to start my 00:05:55.769 --> 00:05:57.920 own thing where I could. You know, give people 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.360 good information and help them like I help myself, 00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:04.160 you know, and save them time and energy doing 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.519 it. So just because I'm not very familiar with 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.379 Lyme disease, what are some of the symptoms? 00:06:10.459 --> 00:06:13.819 Did it affect the central nervous system? Oh, 00:06:15.019 --> 00:06:20.139 yeah. You know, it's a tick -borne illness. Typically, 00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:22.699 you're going to get a tick bite. There could 00:06:22.699 --> 00:06:26.839 or could not be a bullseye rash. forms on your 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.300 body, that's usually an indicator of you've gotten 00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:34.819 bit by a tick that has Lyme disease. Lyme was 00:06:34.819 --> 00:06:38.339 started in Lyme, Connecticut. There's even research 00:06:38.339 --> 00:06:41.600 that I've seen where it was engineered and it 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:48.139 was like a way to control a population. And I'm 00:06:48.139 --> 00:06:51.279 not real sure of the validity of that. But yeah, 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.350 whenever I got bit by one. You know, mine was 00:06:55.350 --> 00:06:59.769 different. I had, you know, growing up a country 00:06:59.769 --> 00:07:01.949 boy, you can probably hear my southern accent. 00:07:02.209 --> 00:07:05.069 I got bit by ticks all the time. And it wasn't 00:07:05.069 --> 00:07:07.430 until I moved into the house with black mold 00:07:07.430 --> 00:07:11.509 that it really affected me. So living in that 00:07:11.509 --> 00:07:15.189 toxic environment of the black mold suppressed 00:07:15.189 --> 00:07:19.259 my immune system. And so Lyme came out. Those 00:07:19.259 --> 00:07:21.300 symptoms are very similar to mold. They kind 00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:23.519 of mirror each other. It was a lot of brain fog, 00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:31.579 a lot of fatigue, anxiety as well. You know, 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.540 I didn't sleep really well. And I would get lost 00:07:34.540 --> 00:07:38.879 driving in my hometown. You know, really achy 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:45.100 joints. And, yeah, just feeling like crap. Well, 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.560 when you said country boy, in case you're just 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.220 listening, you're also a hunter because I'm seeing 00:07:50.220 --> 00:07:55.300 a lot of nature behind you, your heads and other 00:07:55.300 --> 00:07:58.100 species. So I was saying you were always out 00:07:58.100 --> 00:08:01.220 in the woods and the wild. But the fact is, even 00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:03.560 at home, your dog can pick up a tick, right? 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.899 So it's just insane to hear how such one little 00:08:07.899 --> 00:08:11.879 creature can create so much chaos. No. So you 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.139 were in corporate. This happened. You met with 00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:20.100 other people. You started a support kind of group. 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:27.600 And then? And then I got hit with more stuff. 00:08:27.860 --> 00:08:33.240 I met a really good doctor that helped me with 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.279 the Lyme, helped me with the mold toxicity, detoxing. 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:42.840 I had heavy metals. pre -diabetic or diabetic 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:44.440 that could be up for debate. So there were some 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.480 metabolic issues going on. It's really the perfect 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:53.799 storm of these different traumas, illnesses, 00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:57.980 accidents. I was in a really bad car accident 00:08:57.980 --> 00:09:01.259 right after that. So I started coaching people 00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:04.600 and moved to a larger city of Raleigh, North 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.139 Carolina to meet some more like -minded people. 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.340 And I was going to meet one of my first clients. 00:09:09.379 --> 00:09:12.679 I got hit by a dump truck that totaled my car 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.840 and left me with post -concussion syndrome for 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.039 about a year. As I recovered from that, I got 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.279 long -haul COVID three times. So for three years, 00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:27.220 I had long -haul COVID. It brought me to my knees. 00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:30.940 It destroyed my gut health, hormonal health. 00:09:31.659 --> 00:09:35.750 I could not exercise anymore. I had massive amounts 00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:40.509 of fatigue. I wasn't sleeping. And, you know, 00:09:40.529 --> 00:09:42.230 all the things that I had learned up until that 00:09:42.230 --> 00:09:45.570 point, they weren't working anymore. And that 00:09:45.570 --> 00:09:48.490 is when I learned, I read The Body Keeps the 00:09:48.490 --> 00:09:50.090 Score. Maybe a lot of people have heard of that 00:09:50.090 --> 00:09:52.990 book. It talks about how, you know, the body 00:09:52.990 --> 00:09:56.429 can, when we don't process different traumas, 00:09:56.429 --> 00:09:59.500 like I've been through with illness. Then there's 00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:01.799 early developmental stuff and our childhood stuff 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.799 that inevitably a lot of people deal with. I 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.820 was completely unaware, so reading that book 00:10:07.820 --> 00:10:12.399 really opened my eyes and had some really good 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:17.139 mentors and friends help me see that a dysregulated 00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:19.860 nervous system is at the root cause of a lot 00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:22.059 of these illnesses and things that I was dealing 00:10:22.059 --> 00:10:24.700 with. When your nervous system is dysfunctional, 00:10:24.970 --> 00:10:28.990 It's connected to your immune system, your hormonal 00:10:28.990 --> 00:10:34.509 system. It affects digestion and rest and safety. 00:10:36.730 --> 00:10:40.809 And when I started to really dive into that, 00:10:41.029 --> 00:10:44.830 to, you know, working with therapists and meeting 00:10:44.830 --> 00:10:48.470 my mentor, Irene Lyon, and learning, you know, 00:10:48.490 --> 00:10:51.389 her course and her way of building capacity and 00:10:51.389 --> 00:10:53.110 learning to regulate the nervous system, things 00:10:53.110 --> 00:10:56.190 just started really shifting quickly. So it was 00:10:56.190 --> 00:10:59.190 like a, you know, a 20 -year journey. This isn't 00:10:59.190 --> 00:11:03.899 a short time of looking for answers. And, um, 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.519 certainly the foundational stuff of eating healthy 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:12.919 and moving well. And, um, uh, we're, we're exactly 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.899 that foundational. The, uh, the nervous system 00:11:15.899 --> 00:11:18.159 is where I found the most healing. And within 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.320 a couple months of, of doing her, one of her 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.919 courses and going to therapy and doing those 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.279 things, um, you know, I started eating food again 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.639 where I could not, um, I started putting on weight. 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:31.720 I started exercising again, started getting my 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.789 energy back. And, you know, like I do there, 00:11:34.830 --> 00:11:39.269 I take that and I try to learn as much as I can 00:11:39.269 --> 00:11:45.669 and share that with other people. That's quite 00:11:45.669 --> 00:11:49.169 a transformation. So how do you help leaders, 00:11:49.409 --> 00:11:54.490 entrepreneurs, individuals effectively navigate 00:11:54.490 --> 00:11:58.169 the nervous system, you know, keep it regulated 00:11:58.169 --> 00:12:01.090 so that they can maintain personal well -being? 00:12:01.129 --> 00:12:05.480 What does that look like? You know, for me, I 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.820 think a big part of it is reconnecting with the 00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:12.200 body and learning to listen to, you know, interoception 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.360 is what you would call that. The body's communication 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.220 communicates through emotions, through sensations. 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.559 You know, it's little intuitions and things like 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:27.360 that. When we have trauma, we tend to quit listening. 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.779 A lot of people that I work with, we tend to 00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:34.179 intellectualize. Meaning we're going to squeeze 00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:38.860 our, it feels too much from the neck down. And 00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:42.059 so we disconnect from the body. We squeeze ourself 00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:44.700 up into our head and then we try to think our 00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:48.740 way to safety. That's what I was doing by, you 00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:50.840 know, trying to take the next supplement, do 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.279 the next detox, the next restricted diet, the 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.220 more punishing workout. You know, these things 00:12:58.220 --> 00:13:01.740 could be sold to us as hitting the peak of health. 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.139 But what I found is I got more controlling and 00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:07.480 more restrictive and I quit listening to my body 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.399 and I was relying on, you know, external resources. 00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:12.899 I'm looking for somebody to heal me. I was looking 00:13:12.899 --> 00:13:16.240 for the perfect diet, the perfect, you know, 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:19.240 all these things, supplement exercise. And that 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:24.240 pursuit of perfection is a losing game. You know, 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.519 I don't think. perfection exists. But it's a 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.899 response to trauma that says, I have to control 00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:34.279 these things and create this perfect reality 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.080 to get what I want. And I just wanted to feel 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:40.000 good. I just wanted to be the best version of 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.940 myself. And so I had to quit listening to all 00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:48.980 of this. And I started relying on media and listening 00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:52.500 to my voice. And that's what I do with my clients 00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:57.590 now. So I take decades of of the basics and health 00:13:57.590 --> 00:14:02.570 and wellness. And while I'm teaching, it's me, 00:14:02.629 --> 00:14:04.549 the person where they're at. It's not telling 00:14:04.549 --> 00:14:06.809 them what to do. I used to, you know, want to 00:14:06.809 --> 00:14:09.649 do it my way. And that's not how this works. 00:14:09.710 --> 00:14:12.110 It's really your way. And you can't do it your 00:14:12.110 --> 00:14:15.269 way unless you can listen to the body and respond 00:14:15.269 --> 00:14:19.730 instead of reacting to every new shiny object 00:14:19.730 --> 00:14:23.919 that you think is going to fix you. And so so 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:25.799 we start to build that relationship with the 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.899 body while making sure we're doing the basics 00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:34.940 of, you know, really into a nutritional approach 00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:37.779 that's going to be right for the client. That's 00:14:37.779 --> 00:14:41.080 very individual. Whether someone has people that 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:42.500 I work with, they're going to have gut issues, 00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:45.080 they're going to have fatigue and these different 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:49.350 systems, symptoms like autoimmune disease. The 00:14:49.350 --> 00:14:54.590 gut issues, the anxiety, and applying a good 00:14:54.590 --> 00:14:59.129 diet that's supportive, not restrictive, is going 00:14:59.129 --> 00:15:01.470 to make a huge difference in these scenarios. 00:15:01.669 --> 00:15:03.210 And so we're just kind of checking the boxes. 00:15:03.350 --> 00:15:05.710 Are we getting sunlight? Are we moving properly? 00:15:06.029 --> 00:15:08.509 Are we punishing ourselves through exercise? 00:15:08.929 --> 00:15:14.230 And then we go into the body. What's going on 00:15:14.230 --> 00:15:16.289 in our body? Maybe we've disconnected from that 00:15:16.289 --> 00:15:19.460 for so long, we start to listen. ultimately following 00:15:19.460 --> 00:15:25.000 our own impulse is what gets us out of the hellhole 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.419 that we've found ourselves in from suppressing 00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:33.000 our body's intuition and wisdom that's always 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.639 coming through. Society teaches us to disconnect 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.840 from that and to not listen to it. So it's a 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:44.840 coming home to the body. So if someone, a leader, 00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:47.179 an entrepreneur came to you and said, I'm suffering 00:15:47.179 --> 00:15:52.460 burnout, what would that initial session or perhaps 00:15:52.460 --> 00:15:56.440 an exercise that you would send them to practice 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:01.000 look like? Well, I mean, in the beginning, we're 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.240 just going to we're going to get real clear on 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.299 where you're at and what's going on and what 00:16:06.299 --> 00:16:09.240 you've tried up until now and just building a 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:11.980 relationship, understanding. Where are we trying 00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:14.240 to go? You know, starting with the end in mind 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:18.159 and getting realistic and clear on how we're 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.059 going to get there. And I used to really take 00:16:21.059 --> 00:16:24.399 like a shotgun approach and try to do everything 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.059 at once. And now I'm really listening to the 00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:28.740 person, trying to meet them where they're at 00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:31.860 and understand like what's the low hanging fruit. 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.379 So someone that's burnt out, you know, depends 00:16:37.379 --> 00:16:41.309 on if they're ready emotionally. or uh ray at 00:16:41.309 --> 00:16:45.610 all energy wise to to go into some of the it 00:16:45.610 --> 00:16:46.990 just depends on where they're at some people 00:16:46.990 --> 00:16:49.850 are going to need uh the foundational stuff with 00:16:49.850 --> 00:16:53.389 nutrition and exercise and um always conversation 00:16:53.389 --> 00:16:55.429 and working through you know what's coming out 00:16:55.429 --> 00:16:58.090 uh the different mental and emotional type of 00:16:58.090 --> 00:17:00.570 things that we deal with as humans on a day -to 00:17:00.570 --> 00:17:04.410 -day basis um but you know someone someone that's 00:17:04.410 --> 00:17:07.289 in burnout obviously needs to learn how to rest 00:17:08.129 --> 00:17:11.809 And for those of us that are perfection, people 00:17:11.809 --> 00:17:14.210 pleasers, all or nothing, sleep when our, you 00:17:14.210 --> 00:17:15.869 know, that's our society, sleep when you die, 00:17:16.089 --> 00:17:20.289 burn the cane on both ends. You know, that's 00:17:20.289 --> 00:17:23.289 hard. That's a different gear. And, you know, 00:17:23.329 --> 00:17:25.210 we're going to titrate is the word. We're going 00:17:25.210 --> 00:17:28.349 to go really slow. And maybe we're going to take 00:17:28.349 --> 00:17:32.569 a minute to feel our butt in the chair, notice 00:17:32.569 --> 00:17:35.250 our breath, you know, be in our environment, 00:17:35.390 --> 00:17:38.700 use our. different senses, whether that's auditory 00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:41.740 or visual, to be in the environment. A lot of 00:17:41.740 --> 00:17:46.359 times we're, I know if I'm burnt out, if I'm 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.039 feeling that, I'm usually projecting something 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.339 I'm afraid of into the future, thinking the worst 00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:55.019 possible thing, or I'm ruminating on something 00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:58.640 that's happened in the past. And so recognizing 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.779 those tendencies, that takes a lot of work to 00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:04.180 continuously be thinking their way to safety. 00:18:04.859 --> 00:18:08.680 And often, you know, the only way to get to safety 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.160 is trusting that we're going to be OK and being 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.660 here now, you know, being in the environment. 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.660 And that's a process. And what that is, is building 00:18:18.660 --> 00:18:21.700 capacity to be here now. You know, certainly 00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:25.519 those protective patterns of people pleasing 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.759 and thinking the worst possible black or white 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.799 type stuff that served us at some point that 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.250 made us feel safe. And so, you know, recognizing 00:18:34.250 --> 00:18:38.390 that as a protective mechanism from likely a 00:18:38.390 --> 00:18:40.849 stressful situation we didn't have the capacity 00:18:40.849 --> 00:18:43.789 to deal with. We want to build our capacity to 00:18:43.789 --> 00:18:47.190 be here now, to be with that and to, you know, 00:18:47.190 --> 00:18:51.710 as you say, it's getting the lessons from these 00:18:51.710 --> 00:18:55.450 experiences instead of repeating them over and 00:18:55.450 --> 00:18:56.970 over again, because that's really what's going 00:18:56.970 --> 00:18:59.980 on. We're holding. Trauma in the body is this 00:18:59.980 --> 00:19:02.920 unsafety that we feel comes from a past experience 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.859 that was overwhelming that our body feels like 00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:08.960 is happening all the time right now. And so it's 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.680 a process, you know, it's slow. It requires co 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.440 -regulation, like, you know, in a setting where 00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:20.259 client feels safe and supported. And yeah, we're 00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:23.799 building safety and meeting the person wherever 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:27.630 they're at one step at a time. So you do this 00:19:27.630 --> 00:19:29.990 through one -on -one coaching? Is that your service? 00:19:30.569 --> 00:19:35.029 Yes, yes, one -on -one. I've had people ask for 00:19:35.029 --> 00:19:37.849 group coaching. It's something I'm interested 00:19:37.849 --> 00:19:42.289 in in the future. I really enjoy getting in and 00:19:42.289 --> 00:19:45.630 building a relationship and working together 00:19:45.630 --> 00:19:50.710 on a really customized level. I think everybody 00:19:50.710 --> 00:19:53.390 is so different to make a blanket statement. 00:19:54.170 --> 00:19:58.309 is really hard for me. And, you know, I like 00:19:58.309 --> 00:20:01.609 getting in and doing the heavy lifting, if you 00:20:01.609 --> 00:20:05.470 will, and teaching the client to become their 00:20:05.470 --> 00:20:07.490 own medicine through the one -on -one journey. 00:20:08.730 --> 00:20:14.480 So what is your next milestone? My next milestone, 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.920 I mean, it's putting this together in an offering 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.779 and growing the business. I've been doing so 00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:25.500 much of my own personal work, and I think it's 00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:31.160 one thing to intellectualize and to have the 00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:33.220 knowledge and to understand it, and it's a different 00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:36.420 step to embody that. And that's what I've been 00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:41.240 working on and tend to attract clients that are... 00:20:41.529 --> 00:20:43.990 uh, in, in similar situation that I've been. 00:20:44.130 --> 00:20:47.069 And so now it's, how do we, uh, how do we take, 00:20:47.109 --> 00:20:51.190 you know, years of, of learning? Sometimes it's 00:20:51.190 --> 00:20:54.829 hard for me to, uh, to know where to start sharing 00:20:54.829 --> 00:20:56.690 because there's so much information and that's 00:20:56.690 --> 00:20:58.490 where I love to meet the client because it's 00:20:58.490 --> 00:21:00.690 about them. It's not about what I'm sharing. 00:21:00.990 --> 00:21:03.549 Um, but it, but it, my next step is learning 00:21:03.549 --> 00:21:06.289 how to put this information out there, attract 00:21:06.289 --> 00:21:09.950 the clients and, uh, help the people that, uh, 00:21:09.950 --> 00:21:13.599 that need my help. So if you could put a number 00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:16.059 on the amount of clients that you're looking 00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:21.059 to help, what would that number look like? You 00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:24.299 know, gosh, that's a great question. I feel like 00:21:24.299 --> 00:21:26.180 we're getting into business coaching now. Well, 00:21:26.180 --> 00:21:29.200 that's my two cents for you so that I can help 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.400 you make it more concrete and set a goal for 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.299 your month. I would love to, you know, just say 00:21:36.299 --> 00:21:38.680 I don't like working with more than 10 people 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:41.549 at a time. That's a little bit too much. The 00:21:41.549 --> 00:21:46.210 health coaching is very different than this nervous 00:21:46.210 --> 00:21:50.509 system coaching. You know, so if we're talking 00:21:50.509 --> 00:21:53.930 about like 12 months from now, I would love to 00:21:53.930 --> 00:21:57.369 see 50 clients. That would be awesome. Great. 00:21:57.430 --> 00:22:00.549 Well, now you vocalized it. So that'll help you 00:22:00.549 --> 00:22:02.829 visualize it and make it happen. You have 12 00:22:02.829 --> 00:22:07.250 months. In fact, 50 people. And you got this. 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.980 Yeah, yeah. No, I appreciate that. There's a 00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:12.619 lot of that. I don't know if you get into energy 00:22:12.619 --> 00:22:16.519 and in my mentorship, all these ladies are introducing 00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:20.400 me to like human design and horoscope type stuff. 00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:22.819 And if you're into that, there's a lot of this 00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:28.420 manifestation, creation, action, energy. And 00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:31.940 so it fits right into what I'm feeling. So I 00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:35.579 appreciate that little help there, a little tip. 00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:39.880 Well, I love it. And I always love learning. 00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:43.960 Like I'm all about continuous learning. And every 00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:47.240 time I meet a guest, I learn something new. With 00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:50.900 the energies I've had, one with my chakras, I 00:22:50.900 --> 00:22:53.420 was like, well, what do those colors look like? 00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:55.720 And she said, you're yellow right now. I'm like, 00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.160 yellow. I was afraid to ask her, what does yellow 00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:00.720 mean? But she started explaining and somewhere 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.259 there, she either used the word intellect or 00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:07.180 something. I was like, oh, just stop. Chill. 00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:10.980 It looks like you made my day. You're saying 00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:14.839 I'm in telly. So that's the only thing I heard. 00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:19.299 But I love learning. So anytime I can, I... Yeah, 00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:23.819 it's great to be seen, right? Yes. Thank you 00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:27.339 so much for joining me today. Absolutely. I appreciate 00:23:27.339 --> 00:23:32.519 the opportunity to share.

I've got a little free 00:23:46.410 --> 00:23:49.609 download for your audience to kind of start to 00:23:49.609 --> 00:23:53.769 unpack a little bit of this nervous system approach 00:23:53.769 --> 00:23:57.509 and how we can start taking some baby steps towards 00:23:57.509 --> 00:23:59.529 capacity and regulation. So if you don't mind, 00:23:59.650 --> 00:24:02.089 I'll shoot that to you if you want to share that 00:24:02.089 --> 00:24:04.390 in your show notes or something like that.

I may download it myself and learn more about 00:24:11.609 --> 00:24:15.650 self -regulation and the central nervous system. 00:24:16.069 --> 00:24:19.410 Yeah, I love it. I love it.
