Be Your Own Genie! How to Turn Wishes Into Reality | Alexa Fischer, Ep. 203

In this episode of The Human Beauty Movement, Jennifer Norman sits down with entrepreneur, author, and Wishbeads founder Alexa Fischer to explore what it truly means to be your own genie — and how to turn wishes into reality through intentional creation, self-trust, and courageous action.
A Yale-trained actress turned confidence coach who has taught more than 300,000 students worldwide, Alexa shares how belief lives in the body, why rituals anchor alignment, and how small, decisive steps build real momentum. Together, they unpack the difference between wishful thinking and embodied authorship, the power of collective intention, and how to recognize when life is calling you forward.

Thank you for being a Beautiful Human.
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,520
You know there's a moment in
every life when waiting fun time
2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,800
starts to get old.
Waiting for permission.
3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,400
Waiting to feel ready.
Waiting for someone or something
4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,600
to grant us the confidence to
begin.
5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,760
But what if the power we've been
looking for was never outside of
6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,320
us?
Today's guest believes you don't
7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,560
need a fairy godmother.
You don't need better timing.
8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,360
You don't need to be chosen.
You just need to remember that
9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,840
you are the genie.
Alexa Fisher is an entrepreneur,
10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,560
author, speaker, and the founder
of Wish Feeds and Wish Club.
11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,160
A Yale trained actress turned
confidence coach, she has taught
12
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:45,000
more than 300,000 students
worldwide how to communicate
13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,960
with clarity and step fully into
their potential.

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,160

As a member of the Association
of Transformational Leaders,
19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,280
Alexa's work bridges belief,
embodiment, and bold action.
20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,600
So in our conversation, we are
going to explore what it truly
21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,480
means to be your own genie, to
move beyond wishful thinking and
22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,040
into intentional creation.
We are going to talk about
23
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,280
building self trust, recognizing
when life is calling you
24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,280
forward, and having the courage
to answer.
25
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,480
Alexa shares how belief lives in
the body, how rituals anchor
26
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,320
alignment, and how big ideas
become meaningful experiences
27
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:43,080
when they're rooted in
community.
28
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:47,320
So if you've been sensing that
it's time to stop circling your
29
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:51,400
potential and start claiming it,
this episode will feel like a
30
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,160
loving nudge from the universe.
So now let's welcome Alexa
31
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:07,920
Fisher to the stage.
Hi there, Alexa, it's so good to
32
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,360
see you.
Hello.
33
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,720
Hello.
I'm truly delighted to be here.
34
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,480
Thank you so much for having me.
You are most welcome to be here
35
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,520
as my guest and I had recently
been your guest.
36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,160
I had the honor of meeting you a
short while ago in your
37
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,360
beautiful studio office in Santa
Monica, Los Angeles, as well as
38
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,880
attending one of your beautiful
workshops.
39
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,560
And so I just knew that I had to
have you on because your work is
40
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,080
so meaningful.
And I love the phrase you are
41
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,600
the genie.
It's so playful and it's
42
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,840
radical.
I think that a lot of us have
43
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,160
been conditioned to wade and to
hope and to defer.
44
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,720
So at the Foundation, I would
love to talk about what you mean
45
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,480
by saying, hey, you are your own
genie.
46
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,040
What are we actually stepping
into?
47
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,760
Well, actually, I love how you
began this conversation because
48
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,520
I think it's a very human thing
to want to hedge our bets,
49
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,760
right?
We don't want to necessarily
50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,480
take this big risk and risk
failing or wasting time or
51
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,480
wasting money.
And so I have found in my own
52
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,080
journey that when we truly
connect with our hearts and when
53
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,240
we really ask ourselves what are
we truly wanting, there is an
54
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,720
energy line, a power line, if
you will, a magical connection
55
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,840
and, and strength that comes
with that decision.
56
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,360
But we're all wrestling with
belief.
57
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,040
And so when I and we'll talk
about how I came up with the
58
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,600
idea for wish beads because like
I, I say, Alexa did not come up
59
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,000
with it.
It was given to me.
60
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,120
But when I really understood
that wishing is this powerful
61
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,080
thing that we all do
collectively, not everybody, but
62
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,240
so many people do to celebrate
the day of your birth.
63
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,080
There is something to that.
And yet society teaches us not
64
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,560
to believe it with so many of
the concepts that we have around
65
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,840
wishful thinking and watch what
you wish for and so wishy washy
66
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,840
whatever.
And yet when we really step back
67
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,240
and recognize that if we can
connect with that wish, this
68
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,920
wish contains so much power and
magic and nobody else can
69
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,959
activate that but us.
So you are the genie.
70
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:22,240
You are the one who can take
back your own power, where you
71
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,760
don't have to hope that you bump
into some magic lamp and then
72
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,680
you have to rub it and some.
Creature pops out, we're
73
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,960
actually completely.
We're completely reinventing
74
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,560
this idea to recognize our own
power within.
75
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,040
That's the genie.
Gorgeous.
76
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,400
Now do you relate to this as
manifestation or is this
77
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,440
something else?
Is this something deeper?
78
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,480
It's a great question.
And a lot of times people ask me
79
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,880
about manifestation, and there
is a part of me that recognizes
80
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,040
that manifestation is an
extension of the law of
81
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,040
attraction.
And if you think of the law of
82
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,320
attraction, you're really
talking about energy meeting
83
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,000
like energy.
I'll give a very sort of
84
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,800
rudimentary example of this.
We feel people's energy.
85
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,120
It's not a conscious thing.
Our bodies feel it.
86
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,440
So if someone were to walk into
your home right now and they
87
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,200
were going to be very aggressive
or very upset, your body would
88
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,120
have a reaction because your
energy is affected by their
89
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,400
energy.
In a way.
90
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,760
The thoughts that we have in our
head, if you are rooted in a
91
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,560
thought where you feel that the
world is against you, that
92
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,120
everything is bad, your mind is
literally scanning your
93
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,880
environment to recognize that
story and reinforce it.
94
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,280
So I used to say like, oh, the
traffic in LA is horrible.
95
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,160
What I was doing was actually
sitting in my car, assuming that
96
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,640
the traffic or the drivers or
whatever going to be very
97
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,560
aggressive, very obnoxious, very
whatever, but I would be looking
98
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,920
for it.
And so when something would
99
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,240
happen, I'd say there you go,
I'd reinforce my belief.
100
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,680
Now, when you recognize that
what you are setting your mind
101
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,040
to, you are attracting, you are
seeing, you are reinforcing,
102
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,280
then you recognize that you can
actually train your thoughts.
103
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,280
So when we train our thoughts
and we anchor them in the belief
104
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,160
of I see my wish, I feel this.
I can't wait to see the
105
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,160
manifestation or somebody
recognizing the light in me.
106
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,840
I see the light in them.
It's a vibe, it's an energy,
107
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,880
it's a perception shift.
And so when I think of
108
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,560
manifestation, I think of the
conscious choice to elevate my
109
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,000
energy and tune my mind to that
which I am desiring and I will
110
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,080
recognize it when I see it.
So this is really out of the
111
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,360
realm of woo woo, where you sit
back and you just think it and
112
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,320
and you just do nothing and it
just comes to you.
113
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,440
Sometimes I think that that's
the belief that people have
114
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,960
about manifestation.
Rather, I like to activate my
115
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,120
own willpower.
I like to activate my own genie
116
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,040
muscles.
I'd like to take my genie to the
117
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,000
gym and train my mind to see the
world where things are coming
118
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,240
toward me.
And then it's my job to build my
119
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,040
intuition to recognize and take
action toward them.
120
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,720
OK.
And so when you meet somebody,
121
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,240
for example, when we met, I felt
your energy, I asked questions,
122
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,560
I learned about your story, I
felt the synergies.
123
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,120
And so there is a manifestation
that's happening, but it really
124
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,000
is about attunement, recognition
and action.
125
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:24,160
It's a way of retraining your
mind so that you are building up
126
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,400
these new muscles of awareness,
of perception, of intuition.
127
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,840
And that's how things happen
because it builds upon itself.
128
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,720
And then suddenly that's just
who you are.
129
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,080
That's just who you are.
But we do have the power to
130
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,920
shift our thoughts and that's
exciting because it puts the
131
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,360
accountability on ourselves.
And again, we're not waiting for
132
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,680
somebody to grant us our wishes.
We are in collaboration and Co
133
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,440
creation with our wishes.
Listeners, you can tell what a
134
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,680
master Alexa is about this.
It's essentially like turning
135
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,960
wish and that waffling feeling,
that sentiment that you have
136
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,760
like, oh, it's escaping.
It's not really there, it's
137
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,840
fleeting.
It may or may not happen, but I
138
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,000
wish, I hope.
And there's a little bit of a
139
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,160
desperation there.
And Alexa teaches us how to turn
140
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,320
that wish into will, into actual
tangible life that you are
141
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,360
absolutely living.
And so this is interesting to
142
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,400
you.
Then do stay with us because we
143
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,120
are going to talk about the
difference between fantasy and
144
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,080
then aligned action.
And that's where it gets real.
145
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,760
OK, so let's talk about this
part because there is a big
146
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,600
difference between wishing and
creating.
147
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,919
So, Alexa, how do you help
people across that bridge?
148
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:42,679
Oh, well, first of all, I just
want to call out, I love the
149
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,280
translation of turning some A
wish into Will.
150
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,200
I love that.
And I will tell you, I have
151
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,720
really differentiated the
difference between a wish and a
152
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,400
goal because we've all become
very goal oriented and we're
153
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,280
very comfortable with naming our
goals and mapping out our goals
154
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,800
and working with coaches to find
our one year, five year, 10 year
155
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,960
goals, all those things.
And I am a very goal oriented
156
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,360
person, but where I find the
secret sauce lies is a wish
157
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,600
comes from your heart and a goal
typically comes from your mind,
158
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,560
your brain.
That is the difference.
159
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:24,280
And we have built a cultural
acceptance towards goals and
160
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,240
that becomes the norm.
And we use that language in our
161
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,840
businesses.
We even use it in our personal
162
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,120
lives.
But a wish has some tenderness
163
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,520
because it is of the heart.
Now, when we are young, I
164
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,080
believe that we come into this
world with our hearts wide open
165
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,480
like I'm here and we're very
vulnerable.
166
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,360
We have to be cared for.
And then along the way, the
167
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,200
Earth school is actually pretty
rough and things happen.
168
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,640
And it's a scary, scary
situation down here at times.
169
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,680
And so we slowly, slowly begin
to build up walls around our
170
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,680
heart to protect our heart.
And some of that protection
171
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,440
makes sense.
It's certainly not ill advised.
172
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,520
You don't be wide open all the
time.
173
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,560
But what we don't realize is
that it happens so much that
174
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,720
people confess to me now that
I've been in the wish business,
175
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,480
that really the scary thing is
they don't even know what to
176
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,720
wish for.
And what that says to me is that
177
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,000
they have blocked their
connection to their heart for so
178
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,320
long that they don't know what
they desire.
179
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,360
And part of the learning, the
new learning process with
180
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,960
wishing, the way that I reinvent
the way we wish is to slowly,
181
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,280
slowly welcome people back to
their hearts, back to that
182
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,640
connection.
Because the way that I, I
183
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,520
understand wishing is that a
wish is like a seed that your
184
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,000
soul planted inside your heart
before you were born.
185
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,640
And inside this seed, it's
almost, you can imagine like a
186
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,760
tiny little map that you said,
you know what?
187
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,000
And you said in your soul form,
I'm going to come to the earth
188
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,920
and I'm going to play out these
things because this is my
189
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,840
intention.
In Buddhism, they call it the
190
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,640
Dharma.
This is what my mission is.
191
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,280
This is my work.
This is what it came here to
192
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,200
experience.
And it's all contained in your
193
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,800
wish.
But if we block our wishes, we
194
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,640
move that awareness into our
minds and we detach from our
195
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,960
hearts.
So wishing contains this
196
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:19,200
invitation to just gently come
back to your heart to build a
197
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,160
sense of childlike wonder.
Back to the question, if you
198
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,880
were living your wish as if it
already came true, what would
199
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,880
that look like?
What would it feel like?
200
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,560
So you have to begin by giving
yourself permission to do just
201
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:34,720
that.
I'm going to share a very
202
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,640
personal story which harpens
back to like inner child healing
203
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,800
and I've moved past it.
A lot of times we say tell the
204
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,320
story from our scars, not our
wounds.
205
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,120
And I assure you all that this
is a scar and not a wound.
206
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,840
But there is this real situation
when I was younger and I was
207
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,200
doing some homework and a family
member looked at it and said,
208
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,640
what the heck, You got almost
everything wrong.
209
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,440
And then somebody said, God, she
is so stupid.
210
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,120
And that stuck with and I
remember it was almost like that
211
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,080
moment when I felt like
everything moving to my head,
212
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:14,680
like I had to like armor up and
like and forget about the I had
213
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:18,880
to show I had to perform.
And I became hyper vigilant, did
214
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,320
the whole MBA Business School
thing every just like I felt
215
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,920
like I was overcompensating in
that direction because I was
216
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,600
trying to avoid feeling stupid.
And it stayed with me for a long
217
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,120
time until I realized that that
a voice from long ago and I
218
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,600
forgave the voice and all of
those things that you do when
219
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,440
you unravel all these things in
therapy.
220
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,200
But that is the interesting
thing, how the world can shift
221
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,080
us from our hearts and even our
guts, our intuition to the head.
222
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,960
And we get so focused on head
because we feel that we have to
223
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,720
perform.
We feel that we have to have
224
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,440
goals.
If we don't, then we're not
225
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,640
intelligent and we won't make it
in our careers.
226
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:04,560
And so there is this sense that
there is an imbalance towards
227
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:07,240
potentially that there's the
three brains that had the heart
228
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,800
and the gut.
And sometimes we dismiss in
229
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:15,400
society the heart and the gut
and we over emphasize the brain,
230
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,880
you know, the head.
And so here we are divinely
231
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:24,200
saying that it's OK to recognize
that it is not weakness to
232
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:29,120
think, I say think, but to feel
with your heart, to listen to
233
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,960
the gut, to really utilize all
of these beautiful aspects of
234
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,000
you that may have been
suppressed or ignored through
235
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,120
conditioning in your life.
And So what Alexa is sharing now
236
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,960
with wishing and dreaming and
hoping and becoming and allowing
237
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,400
and having will and having that
true belief in you that you are
238
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,960
enough, that's where the magic
happens.
239
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,520
So I just wanted to take that
slight detour and share that
240
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,600
story because it really landed
for me.
241
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,360
MMM.
Absolutely.
242
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,560
And I thank you for the for
sharing that.
243
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:06,440
And I also love the scar and not
the wound because it's a
244
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,320
beautiful remembrance of what so
many people and even if a parent
245
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,600
or a family member thinks that
they're doing some kind of favor
246
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,120
by saying.
Something.
247
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,120
Those imprints in our mind and
our heart can really shape us.
248
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,720
And it's true.
And it's never too late to
249
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,200
rewrite your story, to go back
and use techniques and therapies
250
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,280
and methodologies, to be free
from that and recognize that
251
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,320
story that was given to you,
that you took as your own, that
252
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,960
you took as the truth that can
be changed.
253
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,040
And I often think about the
film, I don't know if you
254
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,200
remember this film.
Life is beautiful and.
255
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,440
It was one of my favorites.
A powerful, powerful film, but
256
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,000
essentially, if you've to anyone
watching and listening who has
257
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,040
never seen it before, the
premise is a father for the sake
258
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,000
of his son.
They're in a concentration camp
259
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,480
and he convinces his young son
that it's all a game.
260
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,960
He creates this illusion to
carry this child's spirit
261
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,280
through this horrific
experience.
262
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,160
And I go back to it because
again, it is a conscious choice
263
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,840
to navigate whatever is going
on, to hard fire your spirit, to
264
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,880
optimism.
Because that again, we're going
265
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,080
to go back to quantum physics.
We're going to go back to energy
266
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,880
meeting like energy.
Something in that divine
267
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,920
benevolence carries this soul
through this experience, even
268
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,160
though it's not the truth, the
truth as we see it, because so
269
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,240
many things happen below our
level of awareness, so much
270
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,800
magic.
And our society has convinced
271
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,840
everybody that the truth is what
we can see, what we can measure,
272
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,280
what is right in front of our
noses.
273
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,800
And it's nonsense.
Like I'm looking at these
274
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,960
beautiful trees outside and the
magic that's happening with the
275
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,440
rain falling on them and the
photosynthesis and the growth
276
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,240
and the.
I don't know how any of it's
277
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,600
happening.
I can't see it.
278
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,640
I can't see all of the trillions
of things that are keeping me
279
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,080
alive and breathing and the
mitochondria and all the, I
280
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,360
can't see the, does it mean
they're not real?
281
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,840
So I mean, I could go on and on
about this, but my point is that
282
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,920
I think we could all use a
beautiful dose of humility to
283
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,120
recognize that when we are
putting ourselves in a more
284
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,480
positive mindset, even when we
are facing difficult things, it
285
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,600
is a gift not only to ourselves,
but our energy is contributing
286
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,960
to the energy around us, to the
people, to the planet, to the
287
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,560
consciousness.
And so wishing is not a selfish
288
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,160
act, not at all.
Wishing is our birthright.
289
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,960
Our happiness is our birthright.
And when we wish, we change the
290
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,000
energy of ourselves, which
changes everybody around us.
291
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,800
So that's another topic, but.
Yeah, and it's beautiful.
292
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,320
And I think about how energy and
that the way that we might react
293
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,600
to some sort of causality may in
fact be the blockage.
294
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,079
But I love how you mentioned you
have an active choice.
295
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:07,680
I am a firm believer of radical
responsibility and agency.
296
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,200
You're not the victim here.
We do victimize ourselves and we
297
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,200
project some sort of persecutor
in.
298
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,480
At the case of my example, I
might say, oh, it was that
299
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,280
family member and how dare that
whole thing.
300
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,040
I could live my life in that
way, and perhaps I did for a
301
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,680
period of time until we wake up
and say, no, I actually have the
302
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,440
power to choose.
You know what, I'm going to be
303
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,160
happy.
I want to live joy forward.
304
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,200
I want to live heart forward.
I am going to live my life
305
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,680
deterministically based upon my
wish, not other people's wishes,
306
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,400
not what other people should
think of me or how I should be.
307
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,000
And I will love.
My choice is truly to be one
308
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,840
that understands and recognizes
and has compassion for those
309
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,840
voices, has self compassion for
if I might have fallen for it
310
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,840
and learns, OK, here is a moment
in time.
311
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,120
There is only my future to
create.
312
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:04,120
I can design the life that I
want to live from this moment
313
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,560
forward.
All fresh, All fresh.
314
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,360
Yes, and I think that's one of
the things that I really so
315
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:14,440
admire about you.
I see in the brief time that
316
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,640
we've known each other, how you
live your life through the lens
317
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,960
of love.
And so by all rights, you have
318
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,040
taken your life journey and
you've created beauty from it
319
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,720
and to have the courage to
create the books and the just
320
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,760
the work that you do in the
world and the person that you
321
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,880
are in the world.
And I think that that is a
322
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,320
shining example that by making
the choice to lean in with love
323
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,280
and look at whatever situation
that you're presented with and
324
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,640
ask yourself, what am I meant to
learn?
325
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,560
And it's not to say that we all
want life to be easy and to have
326
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,000
right.
You know, it's sometimes our
327
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,640
biggest life lessons come from
our hardest challenges.
328
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,520
And I stood in awe as certainly
one of my friends, Glodine
329
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,760
Champion, she was diagnosed with
stage 4 lung cancer with the
330
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,680
appearance of brain lesions like
it.
331
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,440
If you Google that for all of 20
seconds, you would realize that
332
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,080
this is a very serious
diagnosis.
333
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,360
And yet after the initial kind
of shock of the diagnosis
334
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:17,680
itself, she navigated through
her healing journey with that
335
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,480
one question, what am I meant to
learn?
336
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:24,880
And she that openness.
This is the same energy of
337
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,520
wishing this just divine
curiosity.
338
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,440
The presence of the fragility of
life was so part of her process
339
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,320
that in her healing, in her
treatments that you did and the
340
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,640
way she showed up with energy
into her her treatments and the
341
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,160
way that she dialogued with the
nurses and the doctors and all
342
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,280
this stuff.
I don't know how this happened,
343
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:52,840
but she's in full remission and
she, I think of her and her,
344
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,440
that question whenever I'm
confronted with all of the
345
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,160
decisions of life, of all the
challenges in life, because
346
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,640
everybody has challenges, even
if it looks like on Instagram
347
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,320
that they don't.
Right.
348
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,000
They do, but what am I meant to
learn?
349
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,880
Is really the playground that we
want to live in?
350
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,960
And what am I meant to discover
and how good is it going to get?
351
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:22,160
What is the best case scenario?
And it goes back to where is the
352
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,080
lens of your life?
Most of us have been programmed
353
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,080
to think and we say all the
time, I mean, what's the worst
354
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,840
that could happen?
That's the default, what's the
355
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,200
worst that could happen?
But imagine if we were society
356
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,520
to present ideas and say, well,
what's the best that could
357
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,920
happen?
And that feels weird because we
358
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,960
don't say it.
Now it's time for us to say it
359
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,240
because we are the dreamers.
And if we want to dream and wish
360
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,680
into a new world, it is time for
us to recognize what is truly
361
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,800
meaningful, what success really
is.
362
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,760
Because if there's one thing
that these Epstein files have
363
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,960
revealed is that what we thought
was successful, right?
364
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,120
Not successful.
Not successful power.
365
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,360
Reckoning.
Big reckoning, people.
366
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,760
Big reckoning.
Some of the biggest minds in
367
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,040
mindfulness.
I'm looking at you, Deepak
368
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,760
Chopra.
Sorry, I just got to say it.
369
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,160
It is time for people to not
just sit in anger and rage and
370
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,760
sort of disbelief rather, what
are we meant to learn?
371
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,120
What are we meant to learn?
Because there is what I know
372
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:29,400
that we can do today is take
ownership of ourselves.
373
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,880
And so when we take that
ownership and we look around our
374
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,280
homes and our families and our
businesses and our and say, how
375
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,200
can I pour a little more love
into myself, into my family,
376
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,400
into my bit?
How can we create the best case
377
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,560
scenario?
But yes, the reckoning is the
378
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,320
beginning of the revolution.
That is really remarkable and
379
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,800
beautiful.
I want to talk about the
380
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,640
embodiment or the act of wishing
and what that does and what that
381
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,480
feels like because I think that
there may be a feeling that
382
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,880
wishing is like anticipation and
like I want to hear you describe
383
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,960
it in your words.
What, I hate to say the word
384
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,320
optimal or like what is a great
wish versus one that is not
385
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,920
necessarily what you're thinking
of in terms of the energy that
386
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,640
you want to embody when you are
wishing.
387
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,800
Could you take us through a
little bit of that?
388
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,920
Yes, well, that's sort of a
multi pronged question.
389
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,200
It is.
It is.
390
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,200
Yeah, no, we'll break it down
like this.
391
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,160
I will tell you the ways in
which I teach wishing and we'll
392
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,280
start there.
And so when we think about
393
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,760
wishing, it's like in society
now and sort of of how we've
394
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,080
thought about it, we've got a
couple of different ways that we
395
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,680
wish right now.
And that is around the birth,
396
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,760
your birthday candle.
But you're given a very brief
397
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,680
moment and it kind of feels a
little performative, right?
398
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,600
So on your birthday, someone
presents you with a cake and you
399
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,120
see those little candles.
And maybe there's a moment where
400
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,000
in a performative kind of way,
you're like, oh, what's my wish?
401
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,440
But you haven't really thought
about it.
402
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,960
It's just sort of something that
happens.
403
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,000
Very quickly.
You.
404
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,400
Maybe you close your eyes, but
the intention is that you're
405
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,280
closing your eyes, which is an
invitation to go inward.
406
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:12,120
Perhaps you're checking with
your heart.
407
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:13,960
Maybe it goes to your mind, What
do I want?
408
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,400
And then you're taking action.
You're blowing out a candle in
409
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,760
other ways.
Maybe you pass by a fountain,
410
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,160
you see a bunch of pennies on
the bottom and you think I'm
411
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,880
going to make a wish.
Maybe you give yourself a little
412
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,400
more time.
If you're the kind of person
413
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,760
who's going to throw away your
money into a thing, a public
414
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,000
thing of water, maybe you give
yourself a little more time and
415
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,080
then you toss it.
Maybe you're having a
416
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,880
contemplative moment looking up
at the stars and you see a
417
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,840
falling star and you feel like,
OK, I'm going to make a wish.
418
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,920
All of these are pretty
fleeting.
419
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,520
When I share the resources or I
lead experiences in my wish
420
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,120
circles, I guide people through
a visualization.
421
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,040
So if you've meditated before,
meditation is simply an
422
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,240
intentional time to quiet your
mind.
423
00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:00,840
Maybe connect with your breath,
connect with your heart, connect
424
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,800
with something outside yourself,
like a flame or a dot on the
425
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,120
wall.
But the idea is to quiet your
426
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,000
chatter, chatter, chatterbox
mind, and come back to the
427
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,280
presence of you, the energy of
you.
428
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,160
And this is a practice.
You can't just start meditating
429
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,640
once and think, well, I did that
or I'm not a meditator.
430
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,160
It actually takes practice to
allow to have that moment where
431
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,120
you're quieting your mind,
coming back into your body and
432
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:27,480
awakening presence.
For those of you who might be
433
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,840
new to this, I would recommend
listening to Eckhart Tolles, The
434
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,480
Power of Now just as a way to
come in.
435
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,920
I think he does a beautiful job
as a teacher and as a person.
436
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,240
But wishing, when I teach
wishing and I guide people
437
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,320
through the experience, it's a
guided visualization.
438
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,680
And that usually when I do them,
I do offer them as monthly
439
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,560
virtual wish circles.
But essentially you're imagining
440
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,680
sort of de stressing your body,
so sort of relaxing any tension
441
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,640
you might be holding in your
body and your mind and releasing
442
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,640
that so you can kind of bring
your awareness back inward.
443
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,680
Then I invite people to imagine
and connect with the light
444
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,280
around their hearts, and this
light grows so much that it
445
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,120
actually forms, almost like a
little movie projector.
446
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:12,600
Your light is shining onto a
screen and you're imagining a
447
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,480
moment.
Now, here's what I always
448
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,920
preface before we begin never to
judge the experience because we
449
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,200
all have conscious wishes.
Maybe there are things that
450
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,960
we're wanting to change in our
personal life or our financial
451
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,160
life or our business life.
But when we are doing a guided
452
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,560
visualization, in a way you're
trusting yourself to have an
453
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,200
experience.
So if something is shown to you,
454
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,840
and I'll get to the clause, the
asterisk, which is some people
455
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,600
are not visual.
And so I'll talk about that in a
456
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,560
moment.
But in the experience, perhaps
457
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,760
you're seeing a moment that you
didn't anticipate.
458
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,960
And it's not like this is
fortune telling.
459
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,920
So if you see something that
you're like, wait a minute, I
460
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,840
don't want that.
And I'll tell you a story about
461
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,160
when that happened to somebody
who kind of freaked out.
462
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,720
All it is, is with curiosity,
not criticism.
463
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,400
You just have the experience and
that as I got guide you, I
464
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,400
invite you to awaken your senses
in your minds eye and to see
465
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,360
something, to feel something, to
touch something, to recognize
466
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:11,040
what are you wearing.
And all of these are like little
467
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,080
clues that can show you the
essence of what you're ready to
468
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,120
bring into your life right now.
So it works in a number of
469
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,640
different ways.
They can give you a very
470
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,920
specific insight into what
you're ready to call in, whether
471
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,720
it's a beautiful Hawaiian
vacation or a new home or the
472
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,760
energy or the presence of a new
partner in your life, whatever
473
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,040
the case may be.
But there's also other details
474
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,760
that tell a story.
But let's say, for example,
475
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,520
you're wearing, I'll just get
this one just popped into my
476
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,240
head.
But many years ago, I in a wish
477
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,160
circle, I saw myself wearing a
toe ring.
478
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,800
I was like, I don't wear a toe
ring.
479
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,560
It didn't even occur me to wear
a toe ring.
480
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,480
This worked in a couple of
different ways.
481
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,400
These are like symbols.
So I thought, I thought to
482
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,960
myself afterward as I with
curiosity, contemplated what
483
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,360
these aspect meant.
I was barefoot.
484
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,360
It was somewhere super in
nature.
485
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:04,240
It was like it felt like camp.
I'll talk about that in a
486
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,200
minute.
And the toe ring made me feel
487
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,600
like I was like super goddess
grounded, earthy, like it had a
488
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,360
vibe and an energy to it.
Yeah.
489
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,200
Now about a year later, So on
one hand, so one, I got a toe
490
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,440
ring 2 because that that's not
hard to make your wish come
491
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:20,960
true.
I just.
492
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,760
Was like it is.
What does it feel like if it's
493
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,240
just a toe ring on my on my toe,
which is kind of cool.
494
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,400
But the other thing was year
about a year later, I had an
495
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,440
opportunity to Co lead as a
facilitator at another event.
496
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,040
And as I was getting to know
this individual and we were
497
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,920
talking one morning and it was
casual and it was out in the
498
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,120
earth.
It was very earthy.
499
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:46,600
It was sort of a camp setting.
I looked down and she's wearing
500
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,800
a toe ring.
So these are these little clues
501
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:56,240
and coincidences, coincidences
that I think allow you to see
502
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,400
that you are supported, that
when you open up your
503
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,560
perception, you are going to
recognize these little clues
504
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,880
that you're in alignment.
So going back to your wish, it
505
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,120
does offer sort of a pin in the
map of your destiny, meaning
506
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,320
this is this thing that your
heart is ready to call in, these
507
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,400
clues, this energy, this
feeling.
508
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,920
And you can use it in two ways.
One, you can consciously,
509
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,120
actively work towards making
that experience happen for
510
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:26,840
yourself and then see how you
feel, even if it takes time.
511
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,200
And you can also bring elements
of it into your life right now
512
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,880
as a visual reminder to connect
you to the energy of your wish.
513
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,880
So for one, I mean, if I've LED
literally thousands of people
514
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,600
through this, but I had one
woman who did a wish circle with
515
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,440
me and she saw herself on this
big Ferris wheel, Yes, exactly.
516
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,560
Anyway, And it had a whole story
around it.
517
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,760
She was telling me this story,
her whole face softened and she
518
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,880
had this like just this glow
about her.
519
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,880
And I said one of the things
that you can do is find an image
520
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,880
of what you're seeing.
This Ferris wheel that was at
521
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,800
night and it was all lit up.
Just find an image, any image
522
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,640
online and then take that image
and put it on your phone.
523
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,800
And then every time you pick up
your phone, you have a visual
524
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,440
clue that is going to connect
you to your heart and that
525
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,760
energy of your wish.
Now, on a tangible level, she
526
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,800
can go create that vacation or
destiny for her, for her family
527
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,880
to actually experience that.
And that's very powerful in and
528
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,760
of itself.
But it's the energy that you can
529
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,480
bring into your life right now,
which means you can in a way
530
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,520
make those wishes come true.
And you're setting yourself up
531
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,720
vibrationally to connect with
that energy throughout the day
532
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,640
by those visual clues.
And that's actually what Wish
533
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,440
Beads is all about.
It's a visual clue because your
534
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,880
wishes connected or tucked
inside these cylinders or
535
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,360
written on the paper that
connects you back to that story.
536
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,080
So that that in life as you are
woo and life as you are
537
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,200
navigating all of the stresses,
which is part of being human,
538
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,400
you can go back to those visual
clues to just remind yourself,
539
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,640
yes, this is what I am about.
This is what I am anchoring my
540
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,440
mind, my heart towards, and this
is what I am quote UN quote
541
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,800
attracting.
Hmm, excellent, excellent.
542
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,880
So the vision board or a visual
cue helps to activate and get
543
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,120
you into the energy of making
your wish come true.
544
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,800
Do you think that it happens
faster or slow?
545
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,560
Or do you think that just let
the quantum of the universe
546
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,960
works in mysterious ways and.
Yeah, I.
547
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,320
Think versus just like the
fleeting thought like, oh, I
548
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,480
wish.
I mean, is it further off if you
549
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,960
don't, you know, kind of get
that energy and bring it towards
550
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,200
you as you've described?
Well, I think that there's
551
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,440
energy, but then there's action.
And in 2019, I published a book
552
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,440
called the wish Work.
And in addition to wishing,
553
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,680
because I like action, I'm an
entrepreneur by nature.
554
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,080
I'm a teacher by nature.
And so I think there's always
555
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,480
homework to do and why?
Because I want to make sure that
556
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,520
I'm giving everything I've got
to, to make those wishes come
557
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,480
true.
Because I, I believe that we're,
558
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,880
you know, your, your, your
energy goes.
559
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,400
What's that phrase?
Where your, where your
560
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,800
attention, where your, where
your energy flows energy.
561
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:13,920
Flows, boom.
Yeah.
562
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,120
OK.
So the idea is that on one hand,
563
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,240
yes, you can, you can visualize
it, you can claim it, you can
564
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,120
name it, you can write about it.
All of these are very important
565
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,600
things.
And when you do a little work,
566
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,760
hence the wish work, you are
going to see for yourself,
567
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,600
you're going to build those
genie muscles.
568
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,960
You are going to see that there
are there is momentum that is
569
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,760
built, there is energy flowing.
So I believe that you will you
570
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,600
will achieve those wishes much
faster and you will also
571
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,760
recognize that you are more
capable.
572
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,160
So if you can do it with this
one wish, well, then you can do
573
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,920
it with your home remodel.
Then you can do it with
574
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,560
revamping your your resume,
which is going to help you get
575
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,760
those job interviews, which is
going to help you get a new job.
576
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,200
It's help you go to a networking
event.
577
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,440
So these are this is how you
build the momentum wish work
578
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:02,120
itself is a 21 day experience
where each day you are given a
579
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,360
very simple game to play with
life.
580
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,320
The first day is literally
called time to smile.
581
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,840
And the invitation for this wish
work prompt is to notice 3
582
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,280
smiles and consciously decide.
Because many of us walk around
583
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,480
in life just sort of with either
a default or maybe a scowl or
584
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,240
maybe we're worried.
But when you consciously decide
585
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,040
to connect with another human
and offer a smile, energy
586
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,760
shifts.
Now I'll tell you a story
587
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,440
because I think this is the one
that that, well, this was shared
588
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,160
with me by but one of my
customers.
589
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,080
And as I said, swipe left on
profiles without a smile.
590
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,080
Boom.
Anyway, and you were saying?
591
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:43,840
It's true.
It's an energy.
592
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,200
Just throw that in there, yeah?
Smile is a reflection of your
593
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,600
spirit.
It is your like billboard that
594
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,080
says yes, here I am universe,
let's go.
595
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,600
It's soothy smile.
Just let it out, love it, let
596
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,360
the joy flow.
Oh.
597
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,360
Baby, exactly.
That's who I want to hang out
598
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,200
with.
But there was a woman who wrote
599
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,560
to me and her girlfriend.
They were taking a girls weekend
600
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,600
and her girl had decided to get
Everybody Wish beads in advance.
601
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,400
And she got my recording of the
guided visualization.
602
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,040
She got Everybody wish
workbooks.
603
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,520
And the whole idea was to create
this sort of culmination
604
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,800
celebration of each other's
wishes at the end of the
605
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,280
weekend.
So they did that.
606
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,800
But the woman who wrote me was
like, look, I loved my bracelet.
607
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,240
I was a little skeptical of the
wish work thing.
608
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,360
But the next day in the airport,
I was sitting there and I had
609
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,240
plenty of time before my flight.
So she told me that she opened
610
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,040
up the book and started reading,
you know, reading, reading the
611
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,320
book and then got to day one,
which was called time to smile.
612
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,160
And she thought to herself, she
almost double dared the
613
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,120
universe.
She was like, uh huh, I don't
614
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,560
know about any of this.
So she's like, fine, I'll do it.
615
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,120
I've got time.
I'm sitting here at the airport.
616
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,880
So she looks up and she scans
the the terminal and everybody
617
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,640
has their head down.
I'm talking everybody.
618
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,600
They've got their head buried in
their phone.
619
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,680
There's nobody is looking at
anybody else.
620
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,840
So she's first noticed this is
crazy.
621
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,640
Nobody is looking.
Everybody is like drowning in
622
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,960
their own story.
OK, But she finally scans and
623
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,360
she spies like a four, four year
old boy, 5 year old little boy
624
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,840
and they lock eyes and she
decides to smile at him.
625
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,840
That's the prompt, you know,
just smile at somebody.
626
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,960
This little boy marches right
over to her, stands right in
627
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,400
front of her and says you are
the best person ever.
628
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,080
She was like, what witchcraft is
this?
629
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,960
No, I don't know why that little
boy did that.
630
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:43,360
However, something unlocked in
her that was like, whoa, this is
631
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,480
wild.
And that's just that blast that
632
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,920
you need to have the courage to
keep going.
633
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,199
And we've all had those moments
when someone says to us, like, I
634
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,040
just had the craziest thing
happened.
635
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,120
Like I was just thinking about
you and you called her.
636
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,160
And that's when you start to
become a believer.
637
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,880
That's when you start to say
this stuff is something is
638
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,560
happening here that I am not
aware of that like this is wild.
639
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,440
I am more supported than I
realize.
640
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,520
And that gives you that blast of
encouragement to keep going,
641
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,320
keep going.
So that's what the wish work
642
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,640
does for you.
It takes your genie to the gym.
643
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,400
It makes you go, OK, well, let's
do this, let's go.
644
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,480
And then when you walk into
events, let's say for example,
645
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,320
you are already in alignment to
be like, come on universe, show
646
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,680
me who I'm meant to meet.
You are just ready.
647
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,800
And that's when this is comes
back to the manifestation law of
648
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,480
attraction.
You are tuning your energy to
649
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,680
look for the magic.
The magic is going to find you.
650
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,880
The coincidences, the
opportunities, the alignments,
651
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,240
the things that you're supposed
to notice.
652
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:46,720
But it takes practice, and
that's what the wish work does.
653
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:52,200
And the wish work is grounded in
almost like these rituals.
654
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,440
It's like you create these
beautiful symbols, these
655
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,000
talismans of your wish so that
your attention is going to them.
656
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,560
You're wearing them, ladies and
gents, beautiful humans.
657
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,760
I've got my paper beads on that
I made in Alexa's workshop where
658
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,040
we actually wrote wishes down
and we created these gorgeous.
659
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,400
I don't know if you can see
them.
660
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,040
I'm going to get closer, but
there's a handwriting on each of
661
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,760
these paper beads so that I can
wear it and remember what my
662
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,680
wish is.
Inside these wish bracelets is a
663
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:26,240
cute little secret compartment
where you can actually, yes,
664
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:30,080
there you go, There you go.
I have a scroll where I have
665
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,080
written A wish inside and I've
tucked it in here and I keep it
666
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,040
close to my body so that I can
touch it.
667
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,920
I can feel it.
I can remember the wish.
668
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,320
And you told us a beautiful
story when we were together
669
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,800
about this gorgeous Insignia,
which is.
670
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,480
On yes.
Which is the wish feed logo?
671
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,440
Can you share that?
Yes, absolutely.
672
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,000
I had the pleasure of working
with a phenomenal designer when
673
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,440
I was first launching the
business.
674
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:03,240
Her name is Satoko Ferruta, and
she asked me when I was, you
675
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:06,760
know, starting my company.
So what is Wish Beads all about?
676
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,640
Like what was the inspiration?
And I had shared with her, she
677
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,440
happens to be Japanese American,
but I was sharing her sharing
678
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,240
with her that that my philosophy
around wishing was anchored in a
679
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:20,000
few ironically Japanese
principles. 1 is wabi sabi,
680
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,160
which is the art of
imperfection.
681
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,800
So there are there's this idea
that we think we're all striving
682
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,760
for something that's perfect,
but actually we're beautifully
683
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,880
unique and imperfect and that's
what makes us beautiful.
684
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,680
So there's no such thing as the
perfect wish.
685
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:39,560
It's this beautiful, bumpy, wild
Rd. of life and we are to
686
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,920
celebrate the art of that.
The next was I shared with her
687
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,360
the principle of Kaizen.
Kaizen is about the art of
688
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,960
continual improvement and the
idea that when you are wishing
689
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,720
you are improving yourself, you
are saying yes to this journey
690
00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:57,960
of self discovery, which has
always been a huge part of the
691
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,240
work that I do both personally
and professionally.
692
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,080
And then the third thing was at
the time I was practicing
693
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,040
Ishinru karate, which is a
Japanese form of karate.
694
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,760
I also practice Aikido.
And so anyway, I was sharing
695
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,200
with her that these are the
energies behind Wish Beads and
696
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,240
the work that I'm doing.
And she said, so she came back
697
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:19,240
and she showed me the wish Beads
logo.
698
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:22,160
I don't happen to have a box
with me to show you what it is,
699
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,120
but essentially it looks like it
looks like the sign of the woman
700
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:32,640
but on its side, and it's the
stylized Japanese kanji for wish
701
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:35,600
granted like it's a done deal.
Thank you.
702
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:40,720
It's also indicative of the
Egyptian ank, which is the sign
703
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,560
of life.
So there's a lot of probably
704
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,240
more sacred energy that I'm
aware of.
705
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,920
But that was the that was the
evolution or the the birth of
706
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,000
our our logo.
Oh, I love that and I love how
707
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,040
you're so respectful to the
elements and just the beauty of
708
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,800
nature and just the the fact
that we are so entwined and in
709
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,640
unity with nature.
I see the beautiful wood that
710
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,840
you have behind you.
You make wish wands out of these
711
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,000
beautiful wooden rods and wrap
them with crystals and feathers
712
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,800
and, and, and have a beautiful
workshop and rituals around that
713
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,800
as well.
And yeah, there is a sacredness
714
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,600
that and a beauty and a
reverence for the work.
715
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,040
And that's how I love that
you're creating these magical
716
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,680
rituals, if you will, and making
them special so that they light
717
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,000
us.
There's something that does
718
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,440
spark the inner child in us when
we're, you know, kind of playing
719
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,000
in the woods or feeling like
we've got crystals and things
720
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,360
that are magical and whimsical
around.
721
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,560
And that energy, I think, is
also part of the the joy of the
722
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,360
experience as well.
Yes, I thank you.
723
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,600
I, you know, I think you when
you recognize that you are
724
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,720
creating what you are desiring.
I think that wish club, which is
725
00:39:56,720 --> 00:39:59,480
my new space in Santa Monica
where I host events and
726
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,200
workshops and wish circles was
really this playground for
727
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:07,160
possibility.
And I I think especially since
728
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,200
this post COVID world when we
all were squirreled away in
729
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,640
home.
That the craving for human
730
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,720
connection was so real and I was
hungry for it.
731
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:21,920
And I think that it's a healthy
way for humans to recognize how
732
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,240
powerful we are.
You know, we we are now living
733
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:27,920
in the birth of AI.
And so I believe there will be a
734
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:32,200
returning to the preciousness
and reverence of the earth and
735
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,200
being a earthling of being
together to be creative, to
736
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:40,200
recognize that we are so strong
in community.
737
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,600
And so when I was presented with
the opportunity to get this new
738
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,160
space in Santa Monica, I
immediately jumped in and I
739
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,800
thought, let's create Wish Club.
Let's create a space where these
740
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,160
kinds of activities can come
together.
741
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,720
Not just in the rituals that we
do with, with found objects and
742
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:02,640
crystals and paper bead wish
beads and all of that, but also
743
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,280
in those activities that, you
know, that bring joy, that bring
744
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,080
connection.
And so we just did, we're doing
745
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,280
Mahjong Monday and we had a huge
group on Monday.
746
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:19,160
And it's so fun to listen to the
laughter and the music and the
747
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:21,760
camaraderie.
And it's like Monday night, you
748
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,000
know, from 7:00 to 9:00.
It's the perfect way to start
749
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,480
your week.
I just, I just signed, I just
750
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,560
hired a line dancer to come.
Why?
751
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,480
Because that's fun.
But I also have, you know,
752
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,640
energy healers come a beautiful
sound practitioner named Christy
753
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,960
Christensen does regular
workshops.
754
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,360
So the idea that we come
together to really build that
755
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,080
support so that we are not just
hoping that our wish comes true
756
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,760
or doing it secretly and not
telling anybody that forget it
757
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,600
because it doesn't it doesn't
even make sense when we do
758
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,840
things in community and you have
those opportunities to ask
759
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,200
questions.
We have an event that I host for
760
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,000
Wish Club members called Wish
Work Wednesday where you're
761
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,320
literally coming in and we talk
about how's it going towards
762
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,520
your wish, what action are you
taking, where are you stuck, How
763
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,840
can we help and that's where.
Like an accountability buddy.
764
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,600
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
Because I know that my biggest
765
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,120
wishes, they come, they happen
because other people help me.
766
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:26,400
It's not all up to me.
Nothing happens without another
767
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,120
human being to support you.
Nothing in life.
768
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,080
Nothing.
And yet because of that
769
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,880
tenderness, going back to the
the tender way that we protect
770
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,400
our heart, we don't want to
share that wish because how is
771
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,000
it going to feel if it doesn't
come true?
772
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,920
But how's it going to feel if
you never try?
773
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,960
You're going to leave the planet
with regrets.
774
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,720
And that's that's not OK.
It's courageous work.
775
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:49,080
And I love that you are a
building community.
776
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,720
And you have talked about the
power of communal wishing.
777
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,280
And, you know, people coming
together as a collective to, you
778
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,480
know, do this work to support
each other, to cheer each other
779
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,040
on and for people to be bold
enough to stand up and say, this
780
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,240
is my wish.
And you never know who in the
781
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:10,520
group is like I know somebody or
I can do that or I can help you
782
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,440
with that.
And the networking is there.
783
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,560
The universe brings together
your collection of angels, you
784
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,720
know, in in human form and non
human form.
785
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,800
And they they beckon to your
genie call.
786
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,240
They really.
They do I mean that's the magic
787
00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:27,880
and you're you're the lamp,
you're the one rubbing the lamp
788
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,080
you're the genie that's popping
out It's all you, right?
789
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,600
It's you in concert with the
world.
790
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,800
And the more that people do
that, we can have these quantum,
791
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,360
you know, shifts and solutions
and creativity and all of it
792
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,400
that we are wanting, that we are
hungry for.
793
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,560
And now is our time.
Now is our time.
794
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,600
And I think for those who are
listening, this is probably a
795
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,080
sign from the universe because
there's usually this moment when
796
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,960
in our lives we feel summoned or
we feel like there's something
797
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,480
goading us on or something
calling to us.
798
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,720
It might not be loud, it might
be persistent, we might not have
799
00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:05,880
been listening deeply enough.
But maybe this is a sign that
800
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,320
you are able to to hear it a
little bit more clearly.
801
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,040
So I wanted to ask you, Alexa,
how do you think that we know
802
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,520
when life is inviting us into a
bigger version of ourselves?
803
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,720
I mean, I don't really know that
there's ever a moment where
804
00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:25,480
that's not happening.
I I think that there's a
805
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,360
readiness and you can recognize
the readiness.
806
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,880
There are seasons in our lives
where maybe we're taking more of
807
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,560
a listening mode instead of an
action mode.
808
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,360
I know that we've just moved
into the Chinese New Year of the
809
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,960
Fire Horse, so there's a lot of
conversation around like
810
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:47,040
actually, Benjamin, go, go, go.
And yet I think that developing
811
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,680
a relationship with your own
intuition is honoring your own
812
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:57,480
rhythm and recognizing that
taking care of this body is your
813
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,040
best.
Your body, mind, spirit, heart,
814
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,400
all of them, not just your
physical body is your best
815
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,600
friend.
And when you are getting that
816
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,240
excitement in your gut, in your
heart, my friend Alex Franzic
817
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:14,320
calls it your Hut.
The combination of the two, that
818
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,560
is a great indication of
readiness.
819
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,520
So that's that spark.
So if you train yourself to
820
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,520
listen to the spark, to listen
to that Rev of energy, just
821
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,600
become a witness to these
patterns.
822
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,800
So if you get this excitement,
I'll give you a real example.
823
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,960
This is a real example.
Just happened to be the last 24
824
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,600
hours, please.
So yesterday I got a message and
825
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,560
I happened to see it on my
phone.
826
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,200
My it was an e-mail, but I got
it on my phone where for many
827
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,640
years I was a media trainer.
I would train people how to
828
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,120
speak with confidence on camera
on stage.
829
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:46,520
And it's with a terrific
company.
830
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,200
I love this this guy that who
has APR firm.
831
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,120
So he asked, he introduced me to
a client.
832
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,600
She wants some media training.
She's going on a national TV
833
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,240
show and I'm in a place in my
life where I'm building quite a
834
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,680
few things and part of my brain
says, Alexa, focus.
835
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,520
I have a lot going on.
Every time I take a client,
836
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,360
there's, there's a process.
It takes time.
837
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,640
So be focused, say with
graciousness, no.
838
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,320
So I wrote back the client, my
friend, and I said, thank you so
839
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:15,880
much.
Here's where I am and this is,
840
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,080
you know, new update.
I have a new space, etcetera.
841
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,240
I gave us it, but I wish you
luck and I and good luck.
842
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:22,520
And like I basically graciously
said, no, thank you.
843
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,280
Then I, you know, end of story.
OK, boundaries, haha.
844
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,520
Then I, I got it wonderful
e-mail back from the, the client
845
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,880
and she was like, because I
explained I was doing Wish Club.
846
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,240
I'd launched this space and this
is where my energy and focus
847
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:36,760
was.
And she was like, totally
848
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,280
understand, super intrigued
about Wish Club.
849
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,760
Now, because I was at my desk at
this point, I decided to click
850
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,760
on her.
I decided to do a little
851
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,480
research.
If you just check somebody's
852
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,760
e-mail address, usually if they
have a company, you'll see the
853
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,880
end of the I said, let me just
see what she's about because I
854
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,400
like the, I like your spirit.
She was sort of curious about
855
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:54,960
Wish Club, but she was very
friendly.
856
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,240
It was nice.
So I looked at the work that she
857
00:46:57,240 --> 00:47:00,120
does.
Well, this woman is a survivor
858
00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:04,800
of colorectal cancer, stage 4,
maybe mother of three boys.
859
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,440
She's going on.
She is a she has a nonprofit.
860
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,840
And I was like, oh, absolutely,
I am going to help this woman
861
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,360
because I she's got an important
message to share.
862
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:19,160
Now here's where I want to say
my brain yesterday said, Alexa,
863
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,040
focus boundaries, say no, be
true to yourself.
864
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,040
The next day, when I got a
little more information, had a
865
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:30,040
little more spaciousness, I
could learn about, I felt the
866
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:34,120
excitement of and the and the
and the the enthusiasm that I
867
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,400
had for this woman's work in the
world that it felt I could
868
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,960
imagine, I could project in my
mind, me helping her just a
869
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,120
little bit share this important
work with the world on national
870
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,600
television.
And I thought, make time.
871
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,680
This woman is doing important
things.
872
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,920
Make time.
It made me feel enthusiastic.
873
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,840
That's my body that telling me
yes, pivot and say yes.
874
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,040
And so I wrote her back back
immediately.
875
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,560
I said, hold on.
I now, I now know what you're up
876
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,360
to.
Let's, let's, you know, call me
877
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,680
later and, and let's, let's,
let's make time and, and let's
878
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,360
do this.
It would be my honor to help
879
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:09,760
you.
And I think that when you're
880
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,600
working towards your wish
wishes, your readiness, you're
881
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,840
going to have to figure out
who's in charge.
882
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,160
I've worked out, I've worked a
long hard while on my inner
883
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,680
critic.
And now we are in relationship,
884
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:25,320
we're in conversation.
I am not a I'm not a victim to
885
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,040
that voice that is telling me,
no, you can't.
886
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,800
No, it's not possible.
Sometimes that voice has more
887
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,760
power than you realize.
But I've worked over the years
888
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,760
to really work with my inner
critic because sometimes there's
889
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,440
constructive criticism.
That's cool, but this critic
890
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,280
isn't going to stop me.
So I, I, I give myself
891
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,720
permission to really do that
dance between is, am I being
892
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:47,880
stopped?
Am I thinking small?
893
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,360
Am I being stuck and scared?
That's when the inner critic is,
894
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,800
has got too much.
It's like the, the, the, the
895
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,680
wizard in the Wizard of Oz.
He's got too much power.
896
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,080
She whatever that that power in
you, but you have to be in
897
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,840
dialogue recognizing that you
always have plenty of power,
898
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,400
that you always have choices.
And when you can connect with
899
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,560
your inner intuition, your body
language, your feelings, then
900
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,480
you can make a decision that
really is moving you in the
901
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,440
direction of your highest and
best self.
902
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,960
Oh, I love that so much because
I think that there are so many
903
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,320
times where people are like, I'm
not ready yet.
904
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,840
I feel like maybe I need to take
another certification class
905
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,120
until I'm ready or I need to get
more under, You know, I need to
906
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,760
do this before, before, before,
before, before.
907
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:35,960
And then they're waiting to be
so ready for that leap that the
908
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,800
energy doesn't necessarily
invite itself in.
909
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,720
There is some blockage in that
nervousness or in that feeling
910
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:46,720
of, I would say perhaps a lack
of self-confidence.
911
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,080
And yeah.
And so that might get in the way
912
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:54,120
of the curiosity and that
openness to say, OK, what, you
913
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,880
know, what could I invite in
that might move me towards a
914
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:02,000
little closer to my dream that
isn't necessarily the same kind
915
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,960
of action that I've already been
taking because that hasn't
916
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:09,520
necessarily gotten me there yet.
Maybe there's some curiosity
917
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,800
about something new that you can
try.
918
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,000
If it's something where you feel
like it might be out of your
919
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,920
comfort zone, that is, you know,
a good sign that, oh, maybe we
920
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,440
can start stretching boundaries
a little bit.
921
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,040
But then also boundaries are
important to your point, you
922
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,080
know, And so it is a very
personal choice.
923
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,440
It is a very personal thing
about whether or not you feel
924
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,640
that you're ready for
activation.
925
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,320
But I love that you have a 21
day, you know, service for
926
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,600
people that they can actually
follow along.
927
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,800
And as simple as noticing
smiles, as simple as like, you
928
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,640
know, writing your wishes down,
things like that.
929
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,960
And you're getting into the
energy so that it doesn't feel
930
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,200
like it's so daunting that it's
impossible that your wishes
931
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,240
can't come true.
They actually can.
932
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,520
And there are some things that
you can do to continue moving,
933
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,320
actively taking action towards
that that feel comfortable and
934
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:02,400
right for you.
It's.
935
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,040
So yeah, one of the things that
I'm working on and I'm going to
936
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,200
be launching in the next month
or so is an is a community
937
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,400
called Wish Class.
Because I think that what you
938
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,960
are speaking to, a lot of people
have confessed to me that their
939
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:20,320
wishes seem so big or it just
seems so daunting that it
940
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,680
actually is easier to sit on the
couch and watch Netflix or say,
941
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,600
I'm not, I'll take another
certification or do all the
942
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,120
things and I do it too.
That's good solution.
943
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:29,760
Do it too, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
944
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:34,600
But I think that there are so
many ways that step by step that
945
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,840
there are ways that we can flex
those muscles.
946
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,760
And for anyone listening who
this might resonate with them in
947
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,480
terms of the dauntingness or you
don't know where to begin, we
948
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,280
can start with the tiniest
action steps.
949
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,280
And I tell people that, you
know, when you're deciding what
950
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,040
you want to wear in the morning,
changing the language of what do
951
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,680
I wish to wear today, Just raise
it up a little bit so it doesn't
952
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,680
just become a function of like,
I have to dress my body, but
953
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,360
make it a little delicious.
You know what's going to feel
954
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,760
amazing?
That act of asking yourself
955
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,000
something as simple as choose
the clothing.
956
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,240
What do I wish to wear is is
flexing that same muscle?
957
00:52:13,240 --> 00:52:14,400
Yeah.
But it's easy.
958
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,520
It's just one decision.
There's no ramifications.
959
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,800
It's a baby.
It's a little low stakes, you
960
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,360
know, low stakes wish.
Yeah.
961
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,400
The same with you Go to a
restaurant, you know, maybe if
962
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,240
you're somebody who is so used
to accommodating, like, oh, do
963
00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:28,160
you want to split?
Whatever you want, I'll eat it.
964
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:30,600
Maybe you always deflect to
somebody else's what they
965
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,600
design.
Oh, really?
966
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,720
Someone's yeah.
If somebody is sitting and
967
00:52:34,720 --> 00:52:37,800
giving you a menu or you're
deciding where you want to eat,
968
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,840
you're looking at all those
choices and what do I wish to
969
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,200
eat right now?
What is going to be so
970
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:48,960
satisfying to me right now?
And this is the way you start to
971
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,920
Orient yourself and work those
muscles, but you just start them
972
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,920
with baby weights.
Then it becomes you start to up,
973
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,040
what do I wish to do this
weekend?
974
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:00,840
What do I wish to do this
weekend?
975
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,520
What would be my dream weekend?
Or what do I wish to do with
976
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,720
this free half hour in my day?
What do I wish to do?
977
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:09,960
And then you start to again,
it's just you're building up
978
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,840
muscles, which class is an
extension of that where we go a
979
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,000
little bit deeper, where we're
looking at the things where
980
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,920
we're draining our genie juice,
where we're building up, taking
981
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,680
our genie in the gym.
So it's, it's really meant to be
982
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,480
easy, fun work, but it's
powerful work.
983
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,320
It's deceptively easy, but it's
powerful work.
984
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:30,040
I love that because there are so
many times it's like, what do
985
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,920
you want for dinner?
I didn't stress.
986
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,320
It's like, why do I have to
decide again, what do you want
987
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:38,600
to have?
Where do you want to go?
988
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,960
Don't turn it into stress.
That's what.
989
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,240
Yeah, that's what we don't want
to do.
990
00:53:43,240 --> 00:53:45,480
This should be fun.
The energy should be light and
991
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,360
juicy.
I love that energy.
992
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,440
Oh, my goodness.
Amazing.
993
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,760
Oh, gosh.
I want to ask everybody.
994
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:59,520
OK, So if you were to start this
work, if you were to be granted
995
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,640
A wish that you want to have
just by the end of the day, what
996
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,440
would that be?
We can start small.
997
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,400
What would that wish be?
How many smiles can we notice
998
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,200
today?
How many smiles can we give
999
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,240
today?
How many compliments?
1000
00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:15,600
How many people can we tell they
are the most amazing people in
1001
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,280
the world?
How great would that be?
1002
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,320
Yeah, to help each other smile.
And that energy is also one that
1003
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,960
welcomes in and invites wishes
granted.
1004
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,480
Oh my gosh, Alexa, I can talk to
you forever.
1005
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,680
I can absolutely talk to you
forever.
1006
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:34,840
But I wanted to to let you know
that in my podcast towards the
1007
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,880
end, I always ask my guests 3
common questions.
1008
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,000
They're simple on the surface,
but I think that they reveal a
1009
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,320
lot because there are reminders
of connects of what connects us,
1010
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,960
our beauty, our humanity, and
the truth that we live by.
1011
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,280
So this first question is what
Makes You Beautiful?
1012
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,600
That's such a beautiful
question.
1013
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:56,680
Your light.
That's what Makes You Beautiful.
1014
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,240
And your light is that energy
inside your heart.
1015
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,960
It's the light that you share
when you allow yourself to let
1016
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,560
go of all that judgment and you
step into your joy and you step
1017
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:12,480
into your laughter and your love
and your silliness and your
1018
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,680
presence.
And so it's light.
1019
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:17,120
And that's actually the energy
that when people say, you know,
1020
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,720
that person lights up a room,
they're just living in their
1021
00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:21,840
light.
And that is irresistibly
1022
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:22,400
beautiful.
The.
1023
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,520
Year of the fire, Year of horse.
Love that answer my second
1024
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,160
question.
What does it mean to be human?
1025
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:36,920
Who to be human is to?
The first word that came to mind
1026
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:41,560
is humility.
I think that we are bodies
1027
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:46,760
having a spiritual experience
here on Earth, and I think to be
1028
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:51,760
human is to recognize the gift
of being alive, to recognize
1029
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:56,240
that this was our choice to come
here and to recognize that it's
1030
00:55:56,240 --> 00:56:01,760
a privilege to bring our energy,
our our soul energy to the
1031
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:05,240
planet.
And when you recognize that and
1032
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:09,040
connect with the intentions that
you made before you were born,
1033
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:10,680
whether you're aware of it or
not, consciously or
1034
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,800
unconsciously, living that
legacy is how you will leave the
1035
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,000
planet with grace, knowing that
it was a life well lived.
1036
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,720
It seems like that is how
wishing and humanity intersect
1037
00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:23,840
for you.
That's really.
1038
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,880
Yeah, they do answer.
They do, yeah.
1039
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,680
Beautiful, beautiful.
And the last question is what is
1040
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:34,680
1 truth that you live by?
The only truth there is the
1041
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:40,000
Golden Rule, which is to do unto
others as you would have them do
1042
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,880
unto you.
The golden rule that if you
1043
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:44,920
really stick it is golden for a
reason.
1044
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,120
In life, with all the
complexities of human behavior
1045
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,720
and the state of the world and
everything, if you go back to
1046
00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:55,480
just to do unto others as you
would have them do to you, you
1047
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:56,960
are golden.
That is it.
1048
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,360
And sometimes we need to catch
ourselves in the heat of the
1049
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:05,520
moment and pause, the magic
pause to really remember that
1050
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:09,600
truth and instead of feeling
entitled to spew a little bit
1051
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:14,040
more negativity in the world.
And I do 2 at times we have to
1052
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,720
recognize to go back to the
golden rule.
1053
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,640
I love that golden rule.
I wish.
1054
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:24,040
Yeah, I wish that it was
something that was top of mind
1055
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,400
for everyone at all times.
Oh, my gosh.
1056
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,440
Well, Alexa, I think I mean,
listening to you, I always do
1057
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,200
come back to this feeling of
remembering.
1058
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:36,160
It is like remembering our
soulfulness, our divineness, our
1059
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,960
joy, our light, our ability to
love ourselves and love each
1060
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,800
other, doing unto others as
we're doing ourselves.
1061
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,720
And I feel like, you know, doing
the whole genie work, being our
1062
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,800
own genie isn't about getting
everything that you want.
1063
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,360
I really think that it is about
being choiceful, being
1064
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:58,880
intentional, being mindful about
what aligns with you and how
1065
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,400
grand that energy can be for
yourself.
1066
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:06,600
Trusting our own voices,
trusting our own inner beliefs,
1067
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:11,040
our body, our not only our
brains, but our Hut, our heart
1068
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:15,400
and our guts, and then having
that vision to move towards what
1069
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:19,000
we're truly desiring.
I love how you answered those
1070
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,560
three questions.
I think that, you know, it just
1071
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,840
seems like, you know, beauty is
light.
1072
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:29,320
Being human is being a soul
Incarnate and having humility
1073
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:33,800
and, and serving other people.
And the truth is just living a
1074
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:38,400
life of love, living a life of
just authentic, unfettered,
1075
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,640
beautiful love.
So my heart is full right now.
1076
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,560
I thank you so much.
I think for our listeners, if
1077
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,760
something stirred in you from
our conversation today, let it
1078
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,040
stay with you.
Choose one wish.
1079
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,400
Choose a courageous step.
Choose a truth that you're ready
1080
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,760
to embody.
Do not be passive because
1081
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,920
wishing is action oriented.
It's a declaration.
1082
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,880
You are so much more powerful
than you've ever been taught to
1083
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:07,200
believe.
We know it.
1084
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,920
You know it deep down inside.
You are such a beautiful human.
1085
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:14,440
