00:00:10.875 --> 00:00:37.250
Welcome to Transacting Value, where we talk about practical applications for instigating self-worth when dealing with each other and even within ourselves, where we foster a podcast listening experience that lets you hear the power of a value system for managing burnout, establishing boundaries, fostering community and finding identity.

00:00:37.250 --> 00:00:42.731
My name is Josh Porthouse, I'm your host and we are redefining sovereignty of character.

00:00:42.731 --> 00:00:45.027
This is why values still hold value.

00:00:45.027 --> 00:00:47.466
This is Transacting Value.

00:00:49.322 --> 00:00:53.128
Find your gratitude for today, and it doesn't have to be like catastrophic.

00:00:53.128 --> 00:00:57.430
It could just be oh my gosh, I found my favorite pencil right.

00:00:57.430 --> 00:00:59.868
Or oh, this apple tastes so good.

00:00:59.868 --> 00:01:04.331
And when you can bring these positive things into your mind, they stick.

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:07.840
Today on Transacting Value.

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:24.477
Everybody has a guardian angel that looks after them, that takes care of them, that sometimes they assume they can talk to and figure out how to build any degree of identity, mitigate any amount of stress or anxiety or manage chaos.

00:01:24.477 --> 00:01:29.387
But can you actually communicate with guardian angels?

00:01:29.387 --> 00:01:34.341
Spiritual advisor and clairvoyant who helps people heal without medication?

00:01:34.341 --> 00:01:39.680
She's a holistic healer named Sally Ann Martinez and we're talking to her today on the show.

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.225
I'm Josh Porthouse, I'm your host and from SDYT Media.

00:01:43.225 --> 00:01:44.808
This is Transacting Value.

00:01:44.808 --> 00:01:48.314
Sally Ann, how you doing?

00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.147
Hey, hey, hey, better and better.

00:01:51.147 --> 00:01:51.629
How are you?

00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:53.141
I'm doing well.

00:01:53.141 --> 00:01:55.085
Thank you, I appreciate your personality.

00:01:55.085 --> 00:01:57.832
You seem really happy.

00:01:57.832 --> 00:02:01.569
Is this normal, or is this a cup of coffee in the evening?

00:02:01.569 --> 00:02:01.969
What's your?

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.004
Yeah, no, yeah, this is normal.

00:02:05.004 --> 00:02:06.626
This is normal, me Matter of fact.

00:02:06.626 --> 00:02:12.213
I was just talking to some friends and they were talking about you know, we were talking about alcohol.

00:02:12.213 --> 00:02:23.284
We're old, we talk about alcohol and they just laugh because they're like, really, you don't drink and I'm like, no, not really, and that's what I say.

00:02:23.284 --> 00:02:29.168
Can you imagine this, like on alcohol or like we don't need?

00:02:29.187 --> 00:02:29.508
that.

00:02:29.549 --> 00:02:42.784
No, oh you, you don't really drink coffee either you know, okay, it's more of the ritual, like I love the coffee or tea and sitting and communicating with people.

00:02:42.784 --> 00:02:46.073
So I will say I'm not addicted to coffee.

00:02:46.073 --> 00:02:47.423
You know I have some.

00:02:47.423 --> 00:02:53.307
You know I'll have a cup of coffee, maybe in the morning or some tea, but yeah, no, not really.

00:02:53.307 --> 00:02:58.729
It also gets in the way of the work, so I don't drink a lot of caffeine.

00:02:59.881 --> 00:03:02.909
You do these advising sessions full-time.

00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:09.441
Yes, yes, Well, private sessions, workshops.

00:03:09.441 --> 00:03:12.467
I'm a guest speaker, so I'll go out to events.

00:03:12.467 --> 00:03:19.531
But yeah, I retired from the corporate world about eight years ago and this is what I do full-time now.

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:31.855
So let's start there, then, because I have to believe it takes a pretty special perspective to do what you're doing.

00:03:31.855 --> 00:03:46.602
I mean just to manage a commission-oriented job, an entrepreneur in a practical sense, on top of however many other I don't know voices or influences you're sorting through on a daily basis.

00:03:46.602 --> 00:03:49.669
So let's start here for a second In the next couple minutes.

00:03:49.669 --> 00:03:50.472
Who are you?

00:03:50.472 --> 00:03:51.302
Where are you from?

00:03:51.302 --> 00:03:53.050
Right, let's get some resonance.

00:03:53.050 --> 00:03:57.823
But what sort of things are shaping your perspective on life as it applies to these things?

00:03:59.185 --> 00:04:04.191
I have been gifted this perspective.

00:04:04.191 --> 00:04:07.274
I've been using it for over 40 years.

00:04:07.274 --> 00:04:12.165
When I was in my 20s, I actually had like this moment.

00:04:12.165 --> 00:04:27.266
I was in college, right Hanging out with my friends, and really looked across the room and felt another person's I'm going to call it pain, right, because pain comes in different ways and I kind of like freaked out.

00:04:27.266 --> 00:04:31.675
I didn't know what was happening and you know I tell the story.

00:04:31.675 --> 00:04:45.848
I ran home to my dorm room because it was before cell phones, and called my mother and I was like okay, I know, because you know I'm 19 years old, I know all I'm, I know that I'm having a nervous breakdown.

00:04:45.848 --> 00:04:48.790
You need to get up here and pick me up from college.

00:04:48.790 --> 00:04:50.197
And I don't know what's happening.

00:04:50.237 --> 00:04:58.952
Blah, blah, blah, blah and uh, this was serious uh, serious, like I hate to say serious as a heart attack.

00:04:58.952 --> 00:05:06.752
But yes, I did not understand what was happening to me and I I knew authentically I'm a happy person.

00:05:06.752 --> 00:05:07.413
You said it.

00:05:07.413 --> 00:05:09.107
That's exactly who I am.

00:05:09.107 --> 00:05:12.586
I'm happy, I see the good part of life.

00:05:12.586 --> 00:05:16.326
But you know, I mean stuff happens, life happens, but it's how I look at things.

00:05:16.326 --> 00:05:24.983
I'm just really upbeat and I looked across the room and there was a man who was standing in a very strange position, like a position I wouldn't stand in.

00:05:24.983 --> 00:05:27.670
I think his arm was up, I don't really remember.

00:05:28.250 --> 00:05:39.463
But I remember how I felt and it was sad and despondent and things that I knew I didn't feel and so that's what kind of like, you know, kind of wigged me out.

00:05:39.463 --> 00:05:49.675
It was a surprise to what I knew I was feeling, but that I also knew that somehow it didn't belong to me.

00:05:49.675 --> 00:05:52.223
But I didn't understand that at the time.

00:05:52.223 --> 00:05:58.843
And you know, my mom, take a chill pill, calm down, tell me what's going on.

00:05:58.843 --> 00:06:00.629
We're New Yorkers, right?

00:06:00.629 --> 00:06:05.043
So we're Brooklyn New Yorkers, italian Brooklyn, new Yorkers.

00:06:05.043 --> 00:06:09.266
So we kind of get to the point and my mother's like all right, what's the deal?

00:06:09.266 --> 00:06:16.850
So I told her what I was feeling, told her that little story and she was like you're fine, I'm like what?

00:06:16.850 --> 00:06:18.480
So she said you're just psychic.

00:06:19.002 --> 00:06:21.766
And honestly, josh, I didn't know that word.

00:06:21.766 --> 00:06:24.550
I wasn't brought up with that word.

00:06:24.550 --> 00:06:27.682
I didn't understand that it was different.

00:06:27.682 --> 00:06:34.482
Yes, my grandmother would say I had a dream about you and this is going to happen, and don't do that.

00:06:34.482 --> 00:06:41.158
And you know, you're 18 years old, you go out, it happened.

00:06:41.158 --> 00:06:42.764
You did what grandma told you not to do.

00:06:42.764 --> 00:06:47.305
You go home or you see her again, she smacks you on the top of the head, says don't do it again.

00:06:47.305 --> 00:06:51.625
And you know, three days later she tells you something else and then it happens.

00:06:51.625 --> 00:06:55.100
I didn't know that other people didn't have that life right.

00:06:55.100 --> 00:06:56.684
You only know what you know.

00:06:58.788 --> 00:07:06.240
And at 20 years old, my mother, telling me I'm psychic, didn't under.

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:07.141
I didn't understand that word.

00:07:07.141 --> 00:07:08.985
Um, and you know now, really I'm an empath.

00:07:08.985 --> 00:07:10.329
I started as an empath.

00:07:10.329 --> 00:07:13.274
I'm still an empath, my kids are empaths.

00:07:13.274 --> 00:07:17.507
Um, it's become a little more mainstream, like we've kind of caught up.

00:07:17.507 --> 00:07:20.163
And then I got right into training.

00:07:20.163 --> 00:07:22.512
Like literally within a month of this happened.

00:07:22.512 --> 00:07:27.610
I went into this amazing training program that you know the universe is always working in your favor.

00:07:27.610 --> 00:07:38.208
So it kind of showed up and I walked through that door and haven't looked back since because everything really resonated with me and it's just like how I live my life.

00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:45.151
So this kind of magnetism, natural attraction, I guess, to these kinds of things.

00:07:45.151 --> 00:07:55.593
I mean, these are like folk stories, you know, these are like superstitions, this sort of uh fringe science, I guess.

00:07:55.593 --> 00:08:00.822
In some circles, empathy is not, though, right.

00:08:00.822 --> 00:08:14.913
So where's why is the line, seems, so blurry between a practical application of empathy, for example, and a practical application of then acting on some sort of intuition or this sort of empath qualifier?

00:08:14.913 --> 00:08:15.973
You're?

00:08:16.012 --> 00:08:18.475
describing.

00:08:18.475 --> 00:08:24.319
Put electrodes on my head and you tested my brainwave patterns.

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:44.631
I can change my brainwave patterns because my brainwave patterns is what the science of it is that I changed my brainwave patterns so I can talk to spirit, so I can talk to your guardian angels, and I can, for me, right, different clairvoyants have different gifts.

00:08:44.631 --> 00:08:46.999
See it, feel it, smell it, hear it.

00:08:46.999 --> 00:08:49.224
Right, my guardian angels, talk to me.

00:08:49.224 --> 00:08:54.581
Your guardian angels, if you give me permission, talk to me, show me pictures.

00:08:54.581 --> 00:08:58.008
I describe what I see, and it's a scientific thing.

00:08:58.008 --> 00:09:02.640
But the world is afraid of what they don't know.

00:09:03.222 --> 00:09:05.990
Right, old wives, old wives, tales on healing.

00:09:05.990 --> 00:09:09.168
Right, put honey on a wound so it doesn't get infected.

00:09:09.168 --> 00:09:15.149
No one would ever do that these days, but you can do that and it won't get infected.

00:09:15.149 --> 00:09:16.566
Look, I'm not a medical doctor.

00:09:16.566 --> 00:09:18.648
Don't take this as medical advice, right?

00:09:18.648 --> 00:09:23.051
But there are lots of things that we know work.

00:09:23.051 --> 00:09:30.469
But because, for some reason, the world has turned into this, give me a pill and make a better world.

00:09:30.469 --> 00:09:32.416
Um, because that's what I believe in.

00:09:32.416 --> 00:09:41.302
I believe in this pill instead of believing in putting chopped onions on the bottom of your feet to bring down a fever.

00:09:41.302 --> 00:09:44.410
Right, it's okay.

00:09:44.951 --> 00:09:52.668
It's just how the world works, but scientifically, I am changing my brainwave patterns and we do it.

00:09:52.668 --> 00:09:54.111
All of us do it as humans.

00:09:54.111 --> 00:09:56.961
I've just learned how to do it on command.

00:09:56.961 --> 00:09:57.341
Cool, so is that?

00:09:58.663 --> 00:10:04.408
more what you're, I guess, is that more what you're, I guess, describing?

00:10:04.408 --> 00:10:19.605
When I'm saying, for example, empathy is not sympathy, right, I understand how you're feeling because I've been there, not because I've seen or heard it secondhand, I think is the delineation there.

00:10:19.605 --> 00:10:22.392
So when I'm saying empathy, is this what you're describing?

00:10:22.392 --> 00:10:26.730
But to me it's by chance, to you it's a conscious sort of effort.

00:10:30.341 --> 00:10:44.753
Have you ever had a moment when you didn't want to get on a plane or you didn't want to go into a room, or you knew you should call someone, okay, okay.

00:10:44.753 --> 00:10:56.768
So I call those angel whispers that's what I believe like your guardian angels are telling you don't get up or be present and be conscious of what's happening around you.

00:10:56.768 --> 00:11:04.182
So I'm not sure if I'd call that empathy, but I'd call it more awareness, more about being present For me.

00:11:04.182 --> 00:11:06.369
Yeah, I see my guardian angel.

00:11:06.369 --> 00:11:07.140
He says do that.

00:11:07.140 --> 00:11:09.485
And I go, okay, and it always works out right.

00:11:09.544 --> 00:11:37.477
Like I have evolved in my life to be more, I'm going to say faithful, right, and not religious faithful, but faithful in source and universe and universe and things that I just know, because every single day, every single day, I get proof and so that's part of it.

00:11:37.477 --> 00:11:40.404
Maybe I'm more empathetic to myself, right, because that's part of it.

00:11:40.404 --> 00:11:42.870
You may get that angel message.

00:11:42.870 --> 00:11:46.541
You may get part of it.

00:11:46.541 --> 00:11:51.451
You may get that angel message you may get don't go to the right, don't go into that door right now, and you go no, no, I'm being ridiculous, that's crazy.

00:11:51.451 --> 00:11:53.884
And you go in and something not great happens, right.

00:11:53.884 --> 00:12:05.974
That's just not having faith in yourself, not believing in what you hear or what you feel and that's part of the world too, that a lot of the world does that.

00:12:05.974 --> 00:12:10.287
But we have free choice, we have free will, so we get to decide.

00:12:12.260 --> 00:12:14.726
All right, folks sit tight and we'll be right back on Transacting Value.

Where values start in the home.

00:13:03.841 --> 00:13:14.533
That's just not having faith in yourself, not believing in what you hear or what you feel, and that's part of the world too, that a lot of the world does that.

00:13:14.533 --> 00:13:18.806
But we have free choice, we have free will, so we get to decide.

Okay.

00:13:20.110 --> 00:13:26.187
So let me ask you that then, Not having faith in you, not trusting in yourself?

00:13:26.187 --> 00:13:32.993
Right, the intuition, the instinct, the whatever we want to call it right?

00:13:32.993 --> 00:13:38.412
You are identifying all of these other inputs.

00:13:38.412 --> 00:13:46.208
You're identifying all of these other experiences that it sounds like necessarily aren't even all yours, let alone understand where they came from.

00:13:46.208 --> 00:13:50.447
And so how does that help you trust you?

00:13:50.447 --> 00:13:52.592
And what you're hearing may not even apply to you.

00:13:53.561 --> 00:13:55.067
So I'm very purposeful.

00:13:55.067 --> 00:14:01.412
Have you ever heard of the Long Island Medium, teresa Caputo?

00:14:01.412 --> 00:14:12.129
There are other I'm going to call them psychics I don't prefer that word, but there's other psychics or people that will walk by and they've done it to me all the time.

00:14:12.129 --> 00:14:13.960
They'll be like I need to talk to you.

00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:14.821
I'm like, okay, what's up?

00:14:14.821 --> 00:14:23.609
Right, when I first got the gift, and actually actually I'll tell you the reason why I changed the gift.

00:14:23.609 --> 00:14:24.528
Right, cause I can.

00:14:24.528 --> 00:14:27.892
I chose the life I have.

00:14:28.932 --> 00:14:36.748
I was an advertising girl in New York city, um, and you can manage the noise in New York city, right, the spiritual noise.

00:14:36.748 --> 00:14:50.488
And I used to travel all the time and I remember I was looking back, flying in, just got into JFK and I'm walking home, I'm walking to baggage claim, I'm going to leave, and I can hear it.

00:14:50.488 --> 00:14:58.048
I hear it in airports, I hear it in hospitals, I hear it in big spaces, but I hear he knows we're here.

00:14:58.048 --> 00:14:58.649
I can hear.

00:14:58.649 --> 00:15:07.125
So imagine that that there's 5,000 people around you, that you can hear them saying she knows we're here.

00:15:07.125 --> 00:15:19.067
Right, because I can feel energy anywhere I go and one spirit kept coming next to me and I remember I stopped in the middle right, we're all 300 people are getting off the plane.

00:15:19.067 --> 00:15:22.490
Well, I'm two gates away from getting off the plane, there's hordes of people.

00:15:22.490 --> 00:15:26.586
And I remember I stopped and I just looked at him and I said what, what do you want?

00:15:26.586 --> 00:15:29.652
And he said second gate.

00:15:29.652 --> 00:15:31.861
Second gate, right-hand side.

00:15:31.861 --> 00:15:35.551
Now, in the olden days, jfk, they actually had gates in airports.

00:15:35.551 --> 00:15:37.360
It wasn't one big room, you actually.

00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.365
You know, it was like a U-shaped room and that was your gate.

00:15:40.365 --> 00:15:44.570
Second gate he goes yellow book, yellow sweater, yellow book, yellow sweater.

00:15:44.570 --> 00:15:46.272
I'm like fine, yellow book, yellow sweater.

00:15:46.793 --> 00:15:54.168
I go to the second gate and there is a woman in a yellow sweater reading a book with a yellow cover.

00:15:54.168 --> 00:15:55.309
I said okay.

00:15:55.309 --> 00:16:04.092
I walked up to her, I said I know this is weird, but did your uncle Fred just die like within two months ago?

00:16:04.092 --> 00:16:10.421
And she looked at me, said yeah.

00:16:10.421 --> 00:16:11.865
I said okay, he wants you to know.

00:16:11.865 --> 00:16:15.097
Whatever the message is, I don't remember, it's not for me to know and I said does that make sense to you?

00:16:15.097 --> 00:16:15.418
She said yeah.

00:16:15.418 --> 00:16:17.243
I said okay, thank you very much, and I took off.

00:16:17.243 --> 00:16:26.111
Right, that was my moment, josh, when I said I am not serving the dead, I am serving the living.

00:16:26.111 --> 00:16:30.751
Now, that was my moment when I said what if she was on her way to a business meeting?

00:16:30.751 --> 00:16:32.025
I just messed with her head.

00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:38.653
You know all those things that feel like responsibility, because what I do is a huge responsibility.

00:16:38.653 --> 00:16:42.067
And so I said I'm not doing that anymore.

00:16:42.067 --> 00:16:53.763
So I people have to come to me and say, sally Ann, I want you to work with me, I want you to help me figure out where I'm going with life, if I'm on the right path.

00:16:53.763 --> 00:16:56.672
You know what's my health situation.

00:16:56.672 --> 00:17:00.140
So people come to me and then I will work with them.

00:17:00.140 --> 00:17:06.173
Um, because I feel like that's what I'm supposed to do, is help people have their best life.

00:17:06.173 --> 00:17:09.309
Because, look, your guardian angels are here not to mess with you.

00:17:09.309 --> 00:17:12.108
Your guardian angels are here to live through that life.

00:17:12.108 --> 00:17:16.912
And so with that, I turn it off and I turn it on.

00:17:18.461 --> 00:17:24.387
I don't live every single moment in this space, right In theta it's brainwaves theta.

00:17:24.881 --> 00:17:29.525
I don't live there all the time because that's how I can lose myself.

00:17:30.006 --> 00:17:30.247
Right.

00:17:31.208 --> 00:17:35.875
Being in heaven all the time is a fantastic thing.

00:17:35.875 --> 00:17:43.659
I can work six, eight hours and the only thing like I'll come out of the office.

00:17:43.659 --> 00:17:51.450
I have a healing space after working six or eight clients in a day and the only thing is is like I'll come out of the office I have a healing space after working six or eight clients in a day and the only thing is is like I'll be like, oh, my throat's a little sore, that's right.

00:17:51.450 --> 00:17:53.146
I've been talking for eight hours, right.

00:17:53.146 --> 00:18:03.307
But it fills me with love and joy and there is no pain because I around my love and joy.

00:18:03.667 --> 00:18:10.540
So I um can't really lose myself because I keep checking in with myself.

00:18:10.540 --> 00:18:15.673
I mean, every day I check in and the people that I talk with I don't remember.

00:18:15.673 --> 00:18:16.781
It's not for me to remember.

00:18:16.781 --> 00:18:26.781
I always tell all of my clients record the session, write the notes you know, bring someone if you need to, because this is about them, and I won't remember.

00:18:26.781 --> 00:18:33.903
I am just your telephone to your connection to help you translate what's happening in your life and to get the messages you need.

00:18:33.903 --> 00:18:35.988
Does that make sense?

00:18:37.351 --> 00:18:38.272
I mean, yeah, sort of.

00:18:38.272 --> 00:18:54.837
But what I'm picturing is like is like walking into the perfume aisle in the department store and there's all these scents everywhere and I'm like I walk out of there and I'm just overstimulated and I need coffee, beans, the ground, and then I can go about my shopping experience.

00:18:54.837 --> 00:18:55.259
You know what I mean.

00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:56.323
Am I close?

00:18:56.323 --> 00:18:59.050
I mean, is that even remotely accurate?

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.405
I get a lot of it for a lot of people.

00:19:04.207 --> 00:19:04.366
And.

00:19:04.548 --> 00:19:11.946
I I tell you that I'll sit with a client and they may have 20 people with 20 spirit around them.

00:19:11.946 --> 00:19:15.875
Right, I can divide.

00:19:15.875 --> 00:19:19.788
I guess I can divide and conquer kind of thing I can commute.

00:19:19.788 --> 00:19:21.614
It's like when you're in a party, right?

00:19:21.835 --> 00:19:35.711
yeah if you're at a party and one person catches your attention and you're sitting and you're at a party, right yeah, if you're at a party and one person catches your attention and you're sitting and you're having a conversation with that one person, there might be other people that add in a little bit, but you're really focused on that one person.

00:19:35.711 --> 00:19:37.540
So that's how it works for me.

00:19:37.540 --> 00:19:49.442
Other spirit may choose to come in and give me a little bit, but I am focused on the overall message of what I'm hearing, the person in front of me.

00:19:49.442 --> 00:19:52.548
There everyone has about three guardian angels.

00:19:52.588 --> 00:20:18.761
So, yeah, typically it all kind of flows together, so it's not typically overwhelming because they take their turns Well that's convenient, yeah, and there's all sorts of, I think, instances where people throughout life have a call it, a misalignment between whatever their roles are in society and then how they view themselves and their identity.

00:20:18.761 --> 00:20:19.724
Right, it happens all the time.

00:20:19.724 --> 00:20:28.728
You get fired from your job You're like, well, I don't know what I'm going to do next, and then maybe you get into this depression or whatever, because that is out of alignment, roles and identities.

00:20:28.728 --> 00:20:31.872
You go to a new school You're like, well, this is uncomfortable.

00:20:31.872 --> 00:20:32.973
Why is it uncomfortable?

00:20:32.973 --> 00:20:48.140
It's still just kids, it's all still your, you know whatever, but it's new, it's unfamiliar Roles and identities, right, mis.

00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.272
So there was a time when I was a kid, remember we were at a place, uh, in florida, uh, nature park, nature preserve, basically, and I don't remember why.

00:20:52.272 --> 00:20:53.758
I just remember the adults.

00:20:53.758 --> 00:20:58.397
I was little, I mean, like in size and young in age, right, and so I'm running super fast.

00:20:58.397 --> 00:21:12.779
In hindsight probably wasn't going that far or that fast, but I I remember the adults were behind us and I remember thinking that our like the grill, you know the metal grill on like a pole at some picnic spaces or whatever.

00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:14.242
Okay, so I could see it.

00:21:14.242 --> 00:21:25.229
Um, but between me and that grill was this concrete retaining wall corner of the lake and it was covered in grass.

00:21:25.229 --> 00:21:28.500
At the bottom of the retaining wall it was all covered in grass.

00:21:28.500 --> 00:21:39.981
And I consciously remember thinking I can totally beat everybody back to the grill if I just cut across the corner and I'll run right across the grass and they're all going to walk around the corner.

00:21:41.405 --> 00:21:42.347
And I took I couldn't.

00:21:42.347 --> 00:21:47.445
I wish I had a way to take the image that's in my head from what I remember and show it to you right now.

00:21:47.445 --> 00:21:54.971
But I took one step towards the edge of the retaining wall and I saw two eyes and two nostrils.

00:21:54.971 --> 00:21:57.096
It was a gator head sunk down.

00:21:57.096 --> 00:21:59.682
It wasn't grass, it was algae, oh my god.

00:21:59.682 --> 00:22:20.673
And it was water, not solid, and I turned, I took one step and right before I saw that move, I said and the only thing I heard was my dad who at some point prior to that moment in my life happened to just say or at least it was his voice that happened to say don't cut corners.

00:22:21.266 --> 00:22:27.430
And I'm sure it was not at all meant to be literal, but in that moment I took one step, I heard don't cut corners.

00:22:27.430 --> 00:22:31.594
And then this gator dropped under the water and I was like Whoa, what just happened?

00:22:31.594 --> 00:22:40.159
And everything, just like you know, reset in my perspective and I walked the rest of the way back to the grill.

00:22:40.159 --> 00:22:42.465
Do you have moments like that?

00:22:42.465 --> 00:22:46.191
I mean, helping other people is one thing, but you in your own life?

00:22:47.632 --> 00:23:06.152
You know, when I first realized that I could do that or have this gift, I doubted it because I kept hearing my own mind, I kept hearing my own voice and I would ask for a sign Okay, prove it to me, prove it to me.

00:23:06.152 --> 00:23:10.650
Prove it to me, I'm a big feather girl, right, prove that I'm right.

00:23:10.650 --> 00:23:20.513
And one day I heard something in my mind, right, and I said, huh, still my voice.

00:23:20.513 --> 00:23:23.050
I still recognized it, like you recognized your dad's right.

00:23:23.050 --> 00:23:25.873
And I said but I don't know that.

00:23:25.873 --> 00:23:35.718
I know, I don't know that information and that kind of like this pivot to say I need to listen.

00:23:35.718 --> 00:23:44.378
It proved to me that there's something else here that is helping guide me or keeping me safe.

00:23:44.378 --> 00:23:47.310
So I get it.

00:23:47.310 --> 00:23:49.517
It happens often.

00:23:51.165 --> 00:23:53.554
Well, especially in your case, I'm not that surprised.

00:23:53.554 --> 00:23:55.590
Let me get your opinion on this.

00:23:55.590 --> 00:24:10.940
Actually, do you think that if it's common for everybody which I think is I'm paraphrasing from the beginning of this conversation but if it's common for everybody, there's just a lack of, or a degree of a lack of awareness?

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:11.359
Let's call it.

00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:17.416
Is it circumstantial to the pace of our life?

00:24:17.416 --> 00:24:30.941
We're not as present to pay attention to these cues, to these triggers, to these I don't know intuitions, because we're so focused on the future or the past, not the present, that we miss some of these things.

00:24:32.204 --> 00:24:34.753
I think that's an excellent question.

00:24:34.753 --> 00:24:37.933
I think it is circumstantial and I'll tell you why.

00:24:37.933 --> 00:24:42.345
I don't read small children.

00:24:42.345 --> 00:24:44.753
I don't need to talk to their guardian angels.

00:24:44.753 --> 00:24:48.186
If parents come in and say, tell me about little Tommy, don't need to talk to their guardian angels.

00:24:48.186 --> 00:25:00.777
If parents come in say, tell me about little tommy, typically I don't need to talk to them about anyone over under like 12 or 13, unless there's you know something that, like humans are getting in the way and there's you know there's harm.

00:25:00.777 --> 00:25:04.549
Um, but do you have children by any chance?

00:25:04.549 --> 00:25:07.055
I do, yeah, okay, how old are they?

00:25:07.856 --> 00:25:09.219
Ten Okay.

00:25:10.644 --> 00:25:19.270
So and it's funny because Irish people believe this the Catholic Church changed some things, but they call it the age of reason.

00:25:19.270 --> 00:25:22.489
Until they're about seven we get into the age of reason.

00:25:22.489 --> 00:25:26.137
I've heard that, right, you've heard that, okay.

00:25:26.137 --> 00:25:36.165
So the really interesting thing is, I don't know if your children have ever had imaginary friends or have had like these conversations and these tea parties and nobody's there.

00:25:36.165 --> 00:25:47.150
The reality is is that when you're young, you see your guardian angels, you know they're present, they're right there, you it.

00:25:47.150 --> 00:26:00.038
I actually have photos of like some really interesting and amazing photos that um, of people that I trust there, where you can see like spirit with denim on and some other.

00:26:00.038 --> 00:26:04.976
But, um, basically what happens is when you're young, you don't know any different, right?

00:26:04.976 --> 00:26:06.828
You know that they're there, you know they're present.

00:26:06.828 --> 00:26:17.525
About five or six that's when kids, like, start to bite or get aggressive because they go through massive anxiety because all of a sudden, their invisible friends or guardian angels they can't see anymore.

00:26:17.525 --> 00:26:29.798
So, um, and then by nine, you typically become too human and you forget your guardian angels or you don't see them as present, right, because it's not something we talk about with our kids.

00:26:29.798 --> 00:26:36.296
We don't say are your angels with you, are you feeling comfortable and protected and know that they're there?

00:26:36.296 --> 00:26:47.689
Or you know even some kids, when they have invisible friends, parents or guardians say, no, you don't really see that because they're trying to protect us from the world, right?

00:26:47.689 --> 00:26:51.797
Not because they're trying to be mean, but the reality is our children see them.

00:26:51.797 --> 00:27:00.644
I will trust a four-year-old's point of view on someone over anything else because they can see who they really are.

00:27:00.644 --> 00:27:13.832
So a lot of times you'll hear that people become into their psychic gift more, like in that 20, 21 year old, and I think it becomes a time where you get to feel safe.

00:27:13.832 --> 00:27:23.586
So for me, right, I went into training, I went after it, I wanted to understand what was happening to me because it was part of my family, my heritage.

00:27:23.586 --> 00:27:25.872
But everyone has the gift.

00:27:25.872 --> 00:27:28.699
It just depends if you listen.

00:27:28.699 --> 00:27:31.585
And, um, have you heard that?

00:27:31.585 --> 00:27:33.288
Your stomach is your second brain?

00:27:33.288 --> 00:27:35.373
Have you heard that, right?

00:27:35.373 --> 00:27:39.489
So I always say are you paying attention?

00:27:39.489 --> 00:27:48.095
You can't see me, but I'm touching, like right above my belly button, which is a chakra center about, um, it's solar plexus.

00:27:48.095 --> 00:27:49.897
So, do I love myself?

00:27:49.897 --> 00:27:50.700
Do I trust myself?

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:51.567
Do I believe myself?

00:27:51.567 --> 00:27:53.290
That's where that center is.

00:27:53.290 --> 00:28:02.077
So I say your message, your guardian angel whisper, comes from your third eye, right, your brain and your other brain helps us trust it.

00:28:02.077 --> 00:28:06.691
So sometimes, yeah, it's definitely like circumstantial.

00:28:06.691 --> 00:28:14.852
Like you hear, stop before you walk into a street and, oh my gosh, the bus just went by past the red light, right?

00:28:14.852 --> 00:28:15.855
Yeah?

00:28:15.855 --> 00:28:23.555
Yeah, you're not supposed to leave that and and sometimes the messages just come.

00:28:23.555 --> 00:28:25.329
So this way they're comforting.

00:28:25.329 --> 00:28:26.433
It's so funny.

00:28:26.505 --> 00:28:28.112
I have a really good friend and I.

00:28:28.112 --> 00:28:31.612
She got a puppy and I saw this black and white dog.

00:28:31.612 --> 00:28:32.976
I knew her puppy was Charlie.

00:28:32.976 --> 00:28:36.453
It was a black and white dog, black and white dog, black and white dog, black and white dog.

00:28:36.453 --> 00:28:41.977
When she was in this house I do work in that house because there's lots of spirit hanging out there.

00:28:41.977 --> 00:28:43.627
She moved to Atlanta.

00:28:43.627 --> 00:28:47.517
I go to visit her in Atlanta and this dog comes running up to me.

00:28:49.305 --> 00:28:51.510
Moved to Atlanta, I go to visit her in Atlanta and this dog comes running up to me.

00:28:51.510 --> 00:28:51.932
It's a white poodle.

00:28:51.932 --> 00:28:53.836
I looked at her and I was like who's this?

00:28:53.836 --> 00:28:54.859
She goes, it's Charlie.

00:28:54.859 --> 00:28:55.622
She's like.

00:28:55.622 --> 00:28:57.910
You've known Charlie since he's eight weeks old.

00:28:57.910 --> 00:29:00.836
Charlie's black and white.

00:29:00.836 --> 00:29:01.357
She looked at me.

00:29:01.357 --> 00:29:04.971
She's like no, I'm like holy guacamoles.

00:29:04.971 --> 00:29:08.698
Okay, I knew there was a dog spirit in the other house.

00:29:08.698 --> 00:29:09.559
He was black and white.

00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:12.749
I saw black and white all the time when I was talking to Charlie.

00:29:12.749 --> 00:29:14.013
I thought it was a black and white dog.

00:29:14.013 --> 00:29:17.692
He is not a black and white dog, he is a white, fluffy poodle.

00:29:17.692 --> 00:29:25.118
So you know, being aware of certain things or listening in a different way can help you connect.

00:29:27.705 --> 00:29:30.132
Alrighty, folks, sit tight and we'll be right back on Transacting Value.

00:29:30.132 --> 00:29:41.775
Join us for Transacting Value, where we discuss practical applications of personal values, every Monday at 9 am on our website, transactingvaluepodcastcom.

00:29:41.775 --> 00:29:51.269
Wednesdays at 5 pm and Sundays at noon on reedsacrossamericaorg slash radio at 5 pm and Sundays at noon on wreathsacrossamericaorg slash radio.

00:29:51.288 --> 00:29:56.815
You know, being aware of certain things or listening in a different way can help you connect.

00:29:57.816 --> 00:29:58.957
Interesting, okay.

00:29:58.957 --> 00:30:15.210
Well, what impact do you think talking about helping you connect, let's just say, with corporeal people or on any sort of spiritual relation?

00:30:15.210 --> 00:30:16.974
Either case, what impact does a high stress environment have on that?

00:30:16.974 --> 00:30:31.667
I would say occupationally, because stress throws everything out of whack and misaligns everything you know know, chemically, hormonally, whatever, and obviously in I think, two different circumstances.

00:30:31.667 --> 00:30:41.193
One, you become super hyper aware and present, which I think is just as much a tunnel vision as it is when you're totally oblivious.

00:30:41.193 --> 00:30:48.131
So what impact does high stress have on this kind of awareness or ability to connect with people, in your opinion?

00:30:49.634 --> 00:30:57.910
I think that you know when we're stressed we go into fight or flight, right, um?

00:30:57.910 --> 00:30:59.756
And you really have a choice.

00:30:59.756 --> 00:31:00.397
Where are you going?

00:31:00.397 --> 00:31:01.821
Am I gonna fight?

00:31:01.821 --> 00:31:03.165
Because I don't understand this.

00:31:03.165 --> 00:31:04.007
So I'm going to be.

00:31:04.007 --> 00:31:05.990
I'm going to fight everything that comes at me.

00:31:05.990 --> 00:31:08.994
Or I'm going to be I'm going to fight everything that comes at me, or I'm going to need to understand it.

00:31:08.994 --> 00:31:18.230
I need to understand it before I can accept it, or I hide away and and choose not to understand it.

00:31:19.311 --> 00:31:23.779
I think that when you have high stress, it's really hard to connect.

00:31:23.779 --> 00:31:24.906
I think it's hard.

00:31:24.906 --> 00:31:41.176
That's why the world says do yoga, have meditation, go to your spiritual center, find a friend, right, it's all these ways of reconnecting, changing your brainwave patterns and reconnecting because stress is so prevalent.

00:31:41.176 --> 00:31:44.148
So how do you pull those moments down?

00:31:44.148 --> 00:31:54.394
You know, personally I had, like this health scare November 1st, wound up in the hospital for a day, and I was like what am I doing here?

00:31:54.394 --> 00:31:56.910
And the doctor's, like you're too stressed.

00:31:56.910 --> 00:31:59.155
I'm like I think I take care of myself.

00:31:59.155 --> 00:32:11.209
I know, okay, maybe I haven't been meditating as much and I haven't been giving myself enough Reiki, but I'm getting massages and I'm really busy and I'm very scheduled.

00:32:11.209 --> 00:32:13.894
And he looked at me and he's like pull up your calendar.

00:32:13.894 --> 00:32:18.851
So I showed him a week and he was like okay, this is your stress.

00:32:19.792 --> 00:32:24.266
You are bouncing from Scottsdale to Phoenix, to Anthem.

00:32:24.266 --> 00:32:25.630
You're scheduled by the hour.

00:32:25.630 --> 00:32:27.153
Where do you eat in here?

00:32:27.153 --> 00:32:29.027
Where do you go to the bathroom in here?

00:32:29.027 --> 00:32:31.833
And I'm like, um, where I can squeeze it?

00:32:31.833 --> 00:32:33.817
He's like, no, that's it.

00:32:33.817 --> 00:32:36.832
So him and my husband ganged up on me.

00:32:36.832 --> 00:32:38.636
They're like no more than three things in a day.

00:32:38.636 --> 00:32:43.269
I'm like, okay, I'll try, right.

00:32:43.269 --> 00:32:56.615
But the reason is that while I was getting very, very good with my clients and having like, felt like I was even more connected, um, my humanness was suffering from stress.

00:32:56.615 --> 00:33:06.893
So for me, because this is what I do for a living, this is how I connect, this is how I fill my bucket, um, the gift got better, I think.

00:33:06.893 --> 00:33:12.618
Um, but the humanist did not like.

00:33:12.618 --> 00:33:18.912
So I needed to I'm going to say, be more present.

00:33:18.912 --> 00:33:22.481
I needed to be more of yin and yang.

00:33:22.781 --> 00:33:47.491
I needed to accept the beach instead of just being in the spiritual world it's pretty interesting too, because, I don't know, it's also kind of refreshing to think that boundaries are such a a physical or mental, you know corporeal type construct, but it's all still got to be in harmony, no matter what sort of dimension or plane your thoughts are on that day.

00:33:47.491 --> 00:33:55.895
Um, so that's that's refreshing, I guess, to know that it's sort of a cosmic constant that you may as well figure it out.

00:33:55.895 --> 00:34:06.272
Now, you know, I feel like there's so many different lessons that I don't know just fly through the cosmos and impact us in any certain dimension.

00:34:06.272 --> 00:34:07.773
Right, qualify that how you want.

00:34:07.773 --> 00:34:27.527
But that the more aware we become in 80 to 100 years for most of us on the earth, we all seem to grasp the importance, the relevance, the resonance of basically all the same fundamental type lessons, boundaries, for example, being one of them.

00:34:27.527 --> 00:34:29.791
So I'm curious, all of these experiences, boundaries, for example, being one of them.

00:34:29.791 --> 00:34:43.806
So I'm curious, all of these experiences, though in my opinion, for anybody, whoever that person is, have to come from somewhere.

00:34:43.806 --> 00:34:48.436
I mean, it took you almost 20 years to actually sort of tap in and feel present and comfortable and confident enough to accept and interpret.

00:34:48.436 --> 00:34:58.032
Well, right, so maybe expressly explicitly, it came from your mom at that point in time, but there's got to be something before that.

00:34:58.032 --> 00:35:05.590
I mean, you mentioned genetics at one point, so this is a segment of the show called Developing Character D-D-D-Developing Character.

00:35:07.054 --> 00:35:07.817
It's two questions.

00:35:07.817 --> 00:35:12.311
The answers are entirely as vulnerable as you want to be, but here's why I'm asking.

00:35:12.311 --> 00:35:13.213
Here's what it's about.

00:35:13.213 --> 00:35:24.349
My theory is that values are a shortcut to identity and they are a grounding mechanism for our identities whenever we're out of misalignment or what's the word?

00:35:24.349 --> 00:35:44.704
Misharmony, unharmonious and so in those moments, in those opportunities to at least be able to focus on some grounding mechanism, like a value system, to go from a whatever catalyst cognitively into a more progressive or proactive behavior for ourselves.

00:35:44.704 --> 00:35:47.431
We can then work through wherever we're stuck.

00:35:47.431 --> 00:35:50.989
But I don't think you can teach all of that.

00:35:50.989 --> 00:35:56.106
Some of it we pick up on innately until we're able to interpret it.

00:35:56.106 --> 00:36:00.557
And so my two questions are about values and they're separated by time.

00:36:00.557 --> 00:36:08.268
My first question is what were some of the values that you remember being raised on or actually taught when you were growing up?

00:36:08.268 --> 00:36:14.347
And my second question is, assuming they've changed because of your experiences, what are some of your values now?

00:36:16.050 --> 00:36:18.876
I'm an Italian from New York City right I am.

00:36:18.876 --> 00:36:20.039
My parents.

00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.628
My grandparents came over on the boat.

00:36:22.628 --> 00:36:24.010
Right we are.

00:36:24.010 --> 00:36:27.396
My mother is a first generation.

00:36:27.396 --> 00:36:34.996
I was the first one in my family to go to college, and so family has always been my value.

00:36:34.996 --> 00:36:36.641
I was brought up that way.

00:36:36.641 --> 00:36:39.309
We went to my grandparents every Sunday.

00:36:39.309 --> 00:36:44.887
We always sat down for dinner together, even if my dad didn't come home till 7 pm at night.

00:36:44.887 --> 00:36:51.907
So that's a value that actually I still keep Sunday and Monday night.

00:36:51.907 --> 00:37:05.594
My two adult children, 24 and 29, we have dinner together, and when they were growing up and my husband was traveling a lot, the three of us would sit down and have dinner together.

00:37:05.594 --> 00:37:12.844
Didn't matter if Alex was coming home from football or Grace was coming home from lacrosse or it was seven 30 at night.

00:37:12.844 --> 00:37:17.045
We're sitting down, we're having dinner, then you can take showers and do your homework and go to sleep, right.

00:37:17.045 --> 00:37:22.838
So family is still a big value for me and the closeness of family.

00:37:23.699 --> 00:37:33.110
Um, I was also brought up in a very I won't say very religious, but in a religious environment, like my mother would argue with the priest like why is this?

00:37:33.110 --> 00:37:33.891
Why is that right?

00:37:33.891 --> 00:37:38.188
So I kind of love that he's like a bigger thinker.

00:37:38.188 --> 00:37:55.585
And so, while I will say I'm not as religious sometimes I joke and say I'm cath light or recovering Roman Catholic I still believe in and I believe in God.

00:37:55.585 --> 00:37:57.547
I use that word People like source.

00:37:57.547 --> 00:38:01.010
Universe still all means the same thing to me.

00:38:01.010 --> 00:38:05.753
Right, it's a higher power that helps us go forth.

00:38:05.753 --> 00:38:23.228
And so I still believe in being good to your neighbor, even if it's maybe monetarily doesn't work out for me, maybe monetarily doesn't work out for me.

00:38:23.250 --> 00:38:24.034
Um, I still believe in volunteering.

00:38:24.034 --> 00:38:24.516
I am very philanthropic.

00:38:24.516 --> 00:38:25.239
It's important to me, it's important.

00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:28.369
I make sure it's important to my children, it's important to the people I hang out with.

00:38:28.369 --> 00:38:32.577
Um, I don't, I don't fear God.

00:38:32.577 --> 00:38:33.666
Matter of fact, I was.

00:38:33.666 --> 00:38:43.460
I was fired by the Catholic church because of what I did and they I was working for a church bringing in a theater program right after COVID.

00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:49.311
And I don't really tell people what I do, unless someone asked me very pointedly specifically.

00:38:49.311 --> 00:38:55.094
Otherwise I'm like oh yeah, I'm just like an advisor and I just don't tell people what I do.

00:38:55.094 --> 00:38:58.246
I am who, I am like me for me, not for what I do.

00:38:58.246 --> 00:39:15.858
And I used to be in the corporate world, was a big marketer, huge events, things like that, and so I must have sent an email from my phone and had my footer on it and I got a call and they were very upset that what I did was against like Catholic doctrine or something.

00:39:15.945 --> 00:39:17.809
And they wrote me this whole big thing.

00:39:17.809 --> 00:39:21.217
And if I want you to hang out with the priest, not hang out, but you know they want to convert me.

00:39:24.644 --> 00:39:26.128
So I started laughing and I was like I'll meet with your priest.

00:39:26.128 --> 00:39:27.510
But yeah, you're right, I don't fear God.

00:39:27.510 --> 00:39:28.893
Sorry, I don't.

00:39:28.893 --> 00:39:30.717
He talks to me almost every day.

00:39:30.717 --> 00:39:34.291
I know that what I get is for me to be a good person.

00:39:34.291 --> 00:39:49.445
I still authentically believe be kind, because if you can be anything in the world, be kind, be good person next to you and, you know, try and live a good life Like so.

00:39:49.445 --> 00:39:50.989
I still believe in those things.

00:39:50.989 --> 00:39:57.630
I just I don't fear the man upstairs where, um, I guess that's a big thing in the Catholic church.

00:39:57.630 --> 00:40:01.608
I never really realized that, but it is, you know fire and brimstone.

00:40:02.050 --> 00:40:09.130
But I used to say, and um, I don't think that that person, I don't think that source is that way.

00:40:09.130 --> 00:40:11.496
I think source gives us a lot of choices.

00:40:11.496 --> 00:40:16.371
Um, but when you fear something, you don't question it.

00:40:16.371 --> 00:40:30.434
You also don't get close to it, right, like if someone feared you wouldn't want to have coffee with you, but you, you know what's the old adage you get more you get you get more vinegar or something Right.

00:40:30.496 --> 00:40:34.246
Yeah, sure, yep, yeah, yeah, that that is a good point.

00:40:34.246 --> 00:40:37.373
Um, there's, there's a lot of things, I think, that get rooted in fear.

00:40:37.373 --> 00:40:43.516
You know, religiously or otherwise, but I mean, we talked about kids earlier, even yours, right, 29 years old.

00:40:43.516 --> 00:40:47.454
Now, 24 years old now there's still things they're learning and don't know right.

00:40:47.454 --> 00:40:59.900
And so when you tell them, don't do fill in the blank, whatever it is or I wouldn't do that if I were you or however you phrase it right A lot of that probably is coupled with think about the repercussions, think Right.

00:40:59.853 --> 00:41:02.391
A lot of that probably is coupled with think about the repercussions, think about what it's going to do to your future.

00:41:02.391 --> 00:41:02.748
I'm not going to tell you, don't?

00:41:02.748 --> 00:41:03.672
You're an adult, but you know.

00:41:03.672 --> 00:41:13.755
And a lot of that, I think, is rooted in some degree of fear because it's still unknown and it it gives a sort of an easy scapegoat for discernment.

00:41:13.755 --> 00:41:17.925
I think it's an easy scapegoat for discernment to stand on fear because it is a pretty powerful motivator.

00:41:17.925 --> 00:41:19.505
But I think it's an easy scapegoat for discernment to stand on fear, because it is a pretty powerful motivator.

00:41:19.525 --> 00:41:23.757
But I think to your point so is free will, so is hope.

00:41:23.757 --> 00:41:29.351
I mean, the entire Green Lantern Corps is founded on it in the Marvel universe.

00:41:29.351 --> 00:41:43.447
You know so or I don't know, whatever, maybe it's DC, I mix them all up, but the point is still the same, right, like there's so much science fiction, even rooted in that, over generations, that hope can overcome fear.

00:41:43.447 --> 00:41:51.172
Understanding, competency, confidence, helping your neighbor, philanthropic endeavors Every superhero is a philanthropist, right.

00:41:51.172 --> 00:42:04.885
So, like we said, all of these sort of cosmic lessons, generationally, intergenerationally, cross-generationally that people tend to figure out without ever having talked to each other, there's got to be some truth to it absolutely.

00:42:06.186 --> 00:42:12.393
Gratitude is a scientifically proven emotion.

00:42:12.393 --> 00:42:41.708
Um and uh, I actually wrote a gratitude journal that's based on different centers of your system, but scientifically there are 50, 100 studies more than that out there about how your brains and how we look at life differently right, how we understand the gratitude that we have in our life can change our life Like it really can.

00:42:41.708 --> 00:42:49.795
I mean, and it's you know, what I would really encourage everybody to do is find your gratitude for today, and it doesn't have to be like catastrophic.

00:42:49.795 --> 00:42:54.070
It could just be oh my gosh, I found my favorite pencil right.

00:42:54.070 --> 00:42:56.572
Or, oh, this apple tastes so good.

00:42:56.572 --> 00:43:08.199
And when you can bring these positive things into your mind, they stick All of a sudden you have more good things in there than dang another red light.

00:43:09.646 --> 00:43:11.713
Absolutely, and that's something that's strange too.

00:43:11.713 --> 00:43:15.452
In the last couple of minutes we've got, I guess that's something that's strange.

00:43:15.452 --> 00:43:22.534
Strange too, because negativity and pessimism drive ratings in broadcast media and that's what gets attention right.

00:43:22.534 --> 00:43:31.677
Not everybody is turned on by those topics and so you have a million, 2 million people watching any given news station a month.

00:43:31.677 --> 00:43:35.351
Let's say Okay, at least in the United States.

00:43:35.351 --> 00:43:39.632
What happens to the 330 million other people then if they're not watching it?

00:43:39.632 --> 00:43:40.135
You know what I mean.

00:43:40.135 --> 00:43:53.021
There's still way more people that find appeal consciously, wittingly, unwittingly or subconsciously in these types of positive interactions and see a benefit at least individually.

00:43:53.021 --> 00:44:08.795
And so I think it's interesting that if everybody call it 330 million, people find resonance and positivity that it still doesn't have a larger footprint, let's say at least in broadcast media or public discourse or open conversation at a coffee shop.

00:44:08.795 --> 00:44:11.411
It's strange, I think.

00:44:12.806 --> 00:44:13.067
It is.

00:44:13.067 --> 00:44:18.010
But I'm also going to tell you that there's been the earth has gone through this big shift.

00:44:18.010 --> 00:44:29.637
To tell you that there's been the earth has gone through this big shift, and so I'm going to tell you that in a year and a half from this conversation, I want you to revisit what you just said, because by in two years, the world's going to change.

00:44:29.637 --> 00:44:31.503
It will get kinder and gentler.

00:44:31.844 --> 00:44:37.217
I thought it would happen within six months, but some of the recent events have pushed it back a little.

00:44:37.217 --> 00:44:44.853
Um, some of the recent events have pushed it back a little, but, um, when there's things that we don't understand, we go into fear.

00:44:44.853 --> 00:44:46.637
Um, the world will settle.

00:44:46.637 --> 00:44:51.309
The energy in the world will calm us all down.

00:44:51.309 --> 00:45:07.757
We'll be able to get better grounded, to find ourselves to um, to understand the world around us a little more and stop being in that fight or flight space of, of hiding and and understanding, and the world will change.

00:45:07.757 --> 00:45:11.445
I see it over and over and over again.

00:45:11.445 --> 00:45:13.391
Every time I go to focus it shows up.

00:45:13.391 --> 00:45:19.434
So I'm having the faith and the hope, like the green lantern, um, that the world would change.

00:45:21.387 --> 00:45:22.831
Yeah, well, that is powerful.

00:45:22.831 --> 00:45:42.438
And so let me ask you this then, one more time, I guess in the last couple of minutes, to go from macro to micro, talking about the world changing what have all of these influences actually done for you and your sense of self and instigating your self-worth, having lived through all of these things the last you know, four or five decades?

00:45:43.885 --> 00:45:46.592
I think for me how it's helped me.

00:45:46.592 --> 00:45:52.550
I'm definitely more independent, I'm stronger.

00:45:52.550 --> 00:45:55.713
I think I have more of a voice.

00:45:55.713 --> 00:46:15.657
I think a lot of my naivety from when I was younger and trying to make other people happy because that's where I filled my bucket I think it has changed so that I understand that it's really up to other people.

00:46:15.945 --> 00:46:19.875
I'm such a big believer in free will that I will.

00:46:19.875 --> 00:46:29.447
I'll do just about anything for you, um, to help you see what door you have to walk through to understand that that will give you a better life.

00:46:29.447 --> 00:46:41.813
But what I do understand for me is that I can't push you through that door and make that happen and as a mother and as a person growing up in my generation, that's a really hard pill to swallow.

00:46:41.813 --> 00:46:55.956
So that was my shift and understand that you can be all you can be and you can encourage people to be all that they can be and you can stand next to them, but you can't make them change.

00:46:55.956 --> 00:47:03.713
It has to be their choice, and so I have gotten more understanding about that for myself and who I am.

00:47:03.713 --> 00:47:06.161
Yeah, you know it's interesting.

00:47:06.161 --> 00:47:07.726
You'll see people react differently.

00:47:07.726 --> 00:47:10.893
Do you have time for this quick little story?

00:47:11.675 --> 00:47:12.115
Yeah, sure.

00:47:12.757 --> 00:47:15.568
And my brother a couple of months ago.

00:47:15.568 --> 00:47:20.057
My brother's like you've changed, you need to go to therapy or something.

00:47:20.057 --> 00:47:21.168
And I laughed at him.

00:47:21.168 --> 00:47:21.972
I said, oh, babe.

00:47:21.972 --> 00:47:35.378
I said no, no, just because I'm choosing to act differently than the way that you think I should act, or that you've trained me for all these years to react as your sibling.

00:47:35.378 --> 00:47:46.346
And now that I've changed and come into myself and decided to do things differently cause I need to see things differently, that's, uh, there's nothing wrong with me.

00:47:46.346 --> 00:47:49.532
I have no therapy.

00:47:49.552 --> 00:47:52.717
I think it's a strong tool that we can do to help ourselves.

00:47:52.717 --> 00:47:59.157
Um, I said, but you better look at yourself to see where this is really coming from.

00:47:59.157 --> 00:48:18.911
And he was like huh, and sure enough, you know, all of a sudden, like the argumentation about certain things dwindled and because a lot of times when people say things to us, we also have to take note, Is this about them and I just happen to be in this place, right?

00:48:18.911 --> 00:48:21.577
Or they feel to me in this way?

00:48:21.577 --> 00:48:24.791
Is it really mine, like, is it mine to hold?

00:48:24.791 --> 00:48:29.628
I'm going to say like, 90% of the time, it doesn't belong to you, it belongs to them.

00:48:30.170 --> 00:48:34.088
So in kindness or in love, we can say wow, that doesn't belong to me.

00:48:34.088 --> 00:48:39.425
I'm not going to take it right, I'm not just going to swallow it or store it in my legs or whatever.

00:48:39.425 --> 00:48:43.597
I'm going to look at it and realize, wow, this doesn't really belong to me.

00:48:43.597 --> 00:48:45.789
And then it's easier to have empathy for other people.

00:48:45.789 --> 00:48:53.851
It's like, wow, it's really, I'm going to give you a lot of love that you think that way, cause I just think differently and it's okay that I think differently.

00:48:53.851 --> 00:49:08.106
Um, so I'm just going to give you the bandwidth to do what you have to do, but I expect you to give me the bandwidth to believe what I believe as well that's a difficult sort of balance, isn't it?

00:49:08.146 --> 00:49:27.159
having the discernment and honesty and awareness to identify that, but then between being maybe dismissive and courteous, I think is sort of the I don't know where the fulcrum is, but that's the balancing act in those types of moments, isn't it?

00:49:28.204 --> 00:49:28.927
It really is.

00:49:28.927 --> 00:49:34.599
I found a lot of people become dismissive or again go into fight or flight.

00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:36.246
I'm telling you something you don't want to hear.

00:49:36.246 --> 00:49:45.626
So you know as a normal conversation, not with my gift, um, and go into fight or flight, cause I'm not comfortable with that.

00:49:45.626 --> 00:50:03.393
I'm not comfortable with what you're saying and it's going to take me some time to process that and hopefully they process it for themselves and be kind and gentler to the person that is communicating it, especially if you're not doing it in a big or angry way, I mean even if you are.

00:50:03.695 --> 00:50:09.956
I one time I had this, this president of the company that was like so explosive in this meeting, and I looked at him.

00:50:09.956 --> 00:50:12.871
I'm like that must've been a really bad phone call.

00:50:12.871 --> 00:50:14.235
You got off on that.

00:50:14.235 --> 00:50:15.306
He just hung up the phone.

00:50:15.306 --> 00:50:16.911
He was like starting to get crazy at me.

00:50:16.911 --> 00:50:18.918
I'm like this has nothing to do with me.

00:50:18.918 --> 00:50:20.965
Call me when you want to talk about marketing.

00:50:20.965 --> 00:50:22.166
But I left.

00:50:22.166 --> 00:50:24.851
He was like and I'm like calm down this.

00:50:24.851 --> 00:50:33.817
Whatever's happening here has nothing to do with me, Um, and it's hard to see, right, it's hard to cause.

00:50:33.817 --> 00:50:37.509
The world doesn't always give us permission to see our greatness.

00:50:37.509 --> 00:50:44.443
The world doesn't give us permission to understand what works for us or to back ourselves.

00:50:44.443 --> 00:50:50.375
We have to give ourselves permission or I want to give all your guys permission to understand.

00:50:50.375 --> 00:51:04.373
It's not being selfish, it's just understanding your own grounding, what you need, and to be aware of what you authentically need so you can continue to be healthy mentally and physically.

00:51:04.373 --> 00:51:07.039
It's not a big trick.

00:51:08.324 --> 00:51:08.525
Yeah.

00:51:08.525 --> 00:51:19.376
Yeah, it's also not that much of a luxury item as it might seem to be, and I think economically it's a relatively inelastic good.

00:51:19.376 --> 00:51:21.791
So I agree with you.

00:51:21.791 --> 00:51:33.333
But let me ask you this real quick before we get out of here Sally, If people want to get in touch with you or follow along with anything you're putting out online maybe become a client, get in touch with you, anything when do people go?

00:51:33.333 --> 00:51:34.577
How do they reach out?

00:51:35.525 --> 00:51:36.510
Well, thanks for asking, josh.

00:51:36.510 --> 00:51:42.414

Click on the website and make an appointment and find space for yourself, right?

I have clients all over the world.

00:51:57.248 --> 00:51:57.621
We have appointments.

00:51:57.621 --> 00:51:57.382
Majority of my clients are virtual.

00:51:57.382 --> 00:52:01.036
I have clients all over the world.

00:52:01.036 --> 00:52:01.697
So, yeah, so it's the.

00:52:01.697 --> 00:52:08.693
I used to say all the English speaking countries, and now I have clients in Mexico and Taiwan, so it made myself a liar.

00:52:08.693 --> 00:52:17.072
But, yeah, we can do a lot of this work on the phone because there's no time and space when you talk to source or heaven.

00:52:17.072 --> 00:52:19.492
So, yeah, book an appointment.

00:52:19.492 --> 00:52:20.346

For right now, though, I love this conversation.

00:52:59.775 --> 00:53:02.880
It was super lighthearted, but we covered some deep topics.

00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:10.574
It flowed really well and, like I brought up in the beginning, I think it's got a lot to do with your peppy attitude and your awesome perspective.

00:53:10.574 --> 00:53:18.440
So I appreciate you bringing it with you into the conversation and the inspiration that you put out and, obviously, your ability to clearly communicate it well.

00:53:18.440 --> 00:53:22.349
So I guess the only thing I have left to say is thanks for your time.

00:53:23.530 --> 00:53:24.594
Oh, thank you.

00:53:24.594 --> 00:53:28.389
I'm honored to be part of this and share some space with you, Josh.

00:53:29.231 --> 00:53:30.514
Yeah, yeah, no problem.

00:53:30.514 --> 00:53:33.547
I have a feeling we'll be in touch 18 to 24 months.

00:53:33.547 --> 00:53:43.353
We'll see where this goes, but to everybody else who tuned into this conversation and listened to it, I hope you guys had an awesome time listening to everything that Sally Ann brought up.

00:53:43.353 --> 00:53:45.146
I'm going to leave you with one piece real quick.

00:53:45.146 --> 00:53:48.936
Go over to our website, transactingvaluepodcastcom.

00:53:48.936 --> 00:53:54.097

00:53:57.713 --> 00:53:59.097
I will not ask you any questions.

00:53:59.097 --> 00:54:00.146
I will not interrupt you.

00:54:00.146 --> 00:54:03.514
What you can do there, though, my recommendation is two things.

00:54:03.514 --> 00:54:05.809
One, send us some feedback.

00:54:05.809 --> 00:54:07.338
Let us know what you think about the show.

00:54:07.338 --> 00:54:10.827

00:54:10.827 --> 00:54:12.751
Tell us about it, let us know.

00:54:12.751 --> 00:54:14.574
That's what keeps the world going round, guys.

00:54:14.614 --> 00:54:16.175
Feedback's the key Now.

00:54:16.175 --> 00:54:20.146
Two, use it to tell Sally Ann what you think about her message.

00:54:20.146 --> 00:54:24.224
Let her know thoughts ideally constructive criticism, but I'm sure she's tough enough to take it.

00:54:24.224 --> 00:54:25.447
Just give her some feedback, guys.

00:54:25.447 --> 00:54:37.070
Let her know and insights, experiences, examples, stories, anything you want and we'll forward that audio file onto Sally Ann as well or try to get you guys in touch if you want to get in touch more personally.

00:54:37.070 --> 00:54:41.472
Until that happens, and for right now, we're out of time.

00:54:41.472 --> 00:54:52.327
So, sally Ann, again I appreciate your opportunity, the opportunity to have you on the show so we could sit here and talk, and for everybody else, thank you guys for tuning in and listening, but until next time.
