17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,900
Thank you so much Jennifer for
having me.
18
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:01,400
I'm excited.
I was speaking with your
19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,100
audience and learning what it is
that they need to get unstuck.
20
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:10,200
Oh yes, I am excited to.
So let us start from the
21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,100
beginning because you have quite
a story you said that death sent
22
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:17,800
you an invitation on a couple of
occasions, but you overcame, can
23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,300
you tell us what happens?
Absolutely, you know, there are
24
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:24,700
lots of invitations that we get
in life and we have to decide.
25
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:27,000
Do I want this one?
Am I going to accept this one?
26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,600
You know, today is not a good
day for this one and every time
27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,500
death sent me an invitation
tried to take my life.
28
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:36,500
I said today's not a good day
for this one and just totally
29
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:38,800
said, no, thank you.
And there were several
30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,100
occasions.
One I was on the freeway on my
31
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:47,000
way to do real estate and a car
came on the freeway out of
32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,600
control literally ended up going
the wrong direction.
33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,000
On the freeway hittin me head-on
knocking my car off the freeway
34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,400
causing it flip over several
times.
35
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,100
You would think I would be dead?
But I told death not today, I
36
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:05,800
got plans one occasion, there's
been several occasion as I
37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,600
shared when I was a child, I
believe this or not, I was
38
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,000
bitten by a dog, and when I
arrived at the hospital, they
39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,400
saw me right away and they said,
one more inch and I would have
40
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,900
been dead.
But once again.
41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,200
No, thank you.
I have plans plans for a future
42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,700
and a hope.
And as we say, am I got time for
43
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:30,900
that?
There was one more time and this
44
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:34,000
time it's actually recorded in
my latest book which will
45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,500
probably talk about later a
reposition Journey.
46
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,700
I'm still standing where I share
my story of being involved in a
47
00:02:40,708 --> 00:02:44,500
life-threatening car accident,
where in the blink of an eye, my
48
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:48,000
life changed and Jennifer.
I can't really tell you the
49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,500
story because I don't know it.
I can only tell you what people
50
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:55,200
told me because I was literally
knocked out.
51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,600
I Unconscious for several hours.
I suffered a brain injury ended
52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,900
up in a wheelchair.
Unable to talk unable to walk
53
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:08,000
and having to be invent myself
in terms of getting back up and
54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,800
you know it doesn't matter how
many times you get knocked down.
55
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,800
It really is about how many
times you decide to get back up
56
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,100
and that was one more time where
I said?
57
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:18,100
Nope, sorry, that's, I'm getting
back up.
58
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,700
You can't have me this time
either.
59
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:24,200
Well, RJ, you obviously are
meant to be here and not only
60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,200
that, you also I have Lupus.
Is that right?
61
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,400
Well, I'm going to say I was
diagnosed with lupus.
62
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:33,300
There's a difference.
Yes, I went through all the
63
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:37,200
procedures, the biopsies,
everything I had all the
64
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,800
symptoms, and I just decided I
didn't have time for that
65
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,100
either.
It was like, no fun waking up.
66
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,900
Not realizing where you were,
like, and you were in your own
67
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,600
house.
I didn't like the feeling and I
68
00:03:49,608 --> 00:03:52,000
was like, no, something has to
give and I think it's going to
69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,400
be you lip lupus.
So just decided.
70
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,900
No, that's not for me.
Either.
71
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:59,300
So went back to the doctor after
all, the testing and the
72
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:03,400
biopsies, and they're like, well
we can't find anything I'm like
73
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,500
I know because I don't have time
for that and so now I don't
74
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:09,200
suffer with any of these
symptoms.
75
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:12,000
Wow.
So obviously your life is a
76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,300
testament to resiliency and
getting up after you've been
77
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:21,100
knocked down quite a lot of
times and quite severe occasions
78
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:25,000
that you have experienced.
And so from that perspective and
79
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,600
from All that you have gone
through.
80
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,900
Now, you help others to gain
their own resiliency and to help
81
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,200
them get past.
Perhaps not death-defying
82
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,300
situations perhaps.
So, but in some cases, it could
83
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:40,100
be some sort of a trauma, some
sort of a negativity, some sort
84
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,700
of limiting belief.
And so I'd like to first start
85
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,500
by asking you, how do you define
a limiting belief?
86
00:04:45,508 --> 00:04:49,600
And what can people do to truly
get over a limiting belief?
87
00:04:49,608 --> 00:04:53,400
Well, my definition of limiting
beliefs and I believe that's a
88
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,200
great question.
So, first of all, thank you for
89
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,600
Asking my definition of limiting
belief is believing anything
90
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,300
about yourself.
That is not the truth of who you
91
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:04,700
were created to be.
You know, they say, if you
92
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:07,100
believe you can, it's true.
You can, if you believe you
93
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:08,800
can't.
Well, that's true too.
94
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:12,100
You can't.
And so, you risk a 50-50 chance
95
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:15,500
of succeeding when you believe
you can, if only you believe you
96
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:17,300
can't.
So having that Foundation of
97
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:22,100
that belief, that knows that you
were created to prosper, you
98
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:25,300
were created to win and not
deterring.
99
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:28,800
Matt not going to the left or to
the right, but keeping your eyes
100
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,300
on the prize is what we say.
When we believe, when we look to
101
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:35,500
the left, the limiting belief
comes in, when we look to the,
102
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:39,400
right, the limiting belief comes
in and that comes in the form of
103
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:43,300
Shame.
Guilt doubt, rejection beer, it
104
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:47,100
shows up and it doesn't look
good on us as women.
105
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,900
I don't think it looks good on
anybody.
106
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:55,600
That's it, you're right, yeah.
Now sometimes these Ting
107
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,700
beliefs.
A lot of people will convince
108
00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:00,900
themselves that they're not
limiting their actual
109
00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:03,900
limitations.
They might say I have evidence
110
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:07,200
All Around Me from even when I
was a young person that I
111
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,300
couldn't do this or I couldn't
do that or I wasn't made for
112
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:12,000
this.
I wasn't made for that.
113
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,700
What would you say to those
people who have been trained and
114
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:18,600
ingrained to have these limiting
belief?
115
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:22,900
You can retrain your brain.
Because in our subconscious was
116
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:25,300
with what we live by, that's
what we go.
117
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:28,900
I so if we experienced a
traumatic event, which in
118
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:32,400
reality, we all have in some
form or fashion, our brain will
119
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,400
remember that.
And we go into survival mode
120
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:39,000
where we won't try to get out of
that because we believe that's
121
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,100
where we supposed to be.
And the first thing I would say
122
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,000
to this amazing question, you
can believe it if you want.
123
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,800
But remember this, you get out
of life, what you put into life.
124
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,200
So if that's the conversation
you want to have with yourself,
125
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,700
then you're right, that's
exactly what you're Going to
126
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:00,800
get, but you can change your
conversation and you can rewire
127
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,600
your brain.
It's a matter of positioning
128
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,800
yourself in the winner seat
because it's empty because
129
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,300
you're not sitting there and
that's where you belong now.
130
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:13,600
Are there specific tools or
techniques that you employ to
131
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,900
help people get into a more
positive and more resilient
132
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:20,600
mindset and there are different
tools.
133
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,400
And so what I want to First say
to everyone who's listening,
134
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:27,700
find the tool, Works for you.
You may try one thing and it may
135
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:29,500
not work.
That's not in all.
136
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:35,100
Be find the tool and the coach
that works for you with you and
137
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:37,200
on your behalf.
So that's the first thing you
138
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,100
want to do.
Just because the tool is
139
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:42,100
available it doesn't mean it's a
tool that you use, right?
140
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:44,500
So if you want to unscrew
something, there's a hammer
141
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:49,100
there, you don't use the hammer,
you use the tool prepared for
142
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:53,200
and measured before that event.
So the tools I use first and
143
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,000
foremost is we work Jennifer
from Um, the inside out and most
144
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,800
people live from the outside in.
So we do the reverse, we shift
145
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,100
your mindset to live your life,
from the inside out because I
146
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:09,700
believe everything we need in
order to succeed.
147
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:12,700
It's already inside of us.
I don't believe women are
148
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:15,000
broken.
I don't believe men are broken.
149
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,900
I don't believe people are
broken.
150
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,700
I believe we've had some broken
experiences but they come to
151
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:26,600
make us better and not bitter
mode us and Shape us, there are
152
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,300
opportunities to learn from.
So we start from the inside out
153
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:35,200
with the tools that each
individual already has, hmm.
154
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,100
And what it takes is for us to
recognize that there is this
155
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:41,400
potential.
And sometimes it just takes a
156
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,500
quick unlocking, sometimes not
so quick.
157
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,400
Let's face it.
Sometimes you have to practice
158
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,600
at these things.
Sometimes it's lifelong practice
159
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,400
and journeying.
And that's okay.
160
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:53,100
It's all about what you're in
state of improvement is going to
161
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:57,500
be, but it takes that courage.
I was curious to you, is there a
162
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,800
difference between courage and
bravery?
163
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:01,800
Beautiful question, I love that
question.
164
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,500
Thank you for asking.
I believe they go hand-in-hand
165
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,600
and I believe when we look up
the definition of courage, we
166
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,100
will find that.
It says courage is being afraid,
167
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:14,500
we're going, anyhow.
So sometimes we say courage is
168
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:16,600
just running into the face of
fear.
169
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:18,600
No, fear.
I don't believe that's true.
170
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,400
I believe courage is running
into the face of fear afraid,
171
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,300
and you have to be brave and And
to do that.
172
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:30,100
So they complement one another.
It's like an ice cream sundae.
173
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,400
You have to ice cream and then
you may want some nuts on top or
174
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,600
a cherry on top.
What courage is the ice cream
175
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:40,100
and bravery?
Is that cherry on top?
176
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,400
It's like that actionable step
that you're going to take
177
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,600
because you do have the courage.
That's nice.
178
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,100
So you've written a few books,
one of which is a repositioning
179
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:52,800
Journey.
I'm still standing, can you tell
180
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,200
us about that book?
I can.
181
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,800
It is my name.
Moire of the resiliency.
182
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:02,800
I'm still standing a story of
greatness and I believe we all
183
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,600
have a story of greatness.
And I also believe that
184
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,200
everything we've gone through is
to create who we are really
185
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,500
meant to be, and we each have a
story to tell and that's what I
186
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,000
did.
I, but my life story into a book
187
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
to remind other people and
particularly women, I say women
188
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,700
because that's who I'm gifted to
work with, but to remind you,
189
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,400
you don't have to live.
Where you're dying and you don't
190
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,900
have to die, where you're living
earlier.
191
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:33,300
You said, well, what if they
believe this is how it is, it
192
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:37,000
doesn't have to stay that way.
It might be that way, but think
193
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,500
of life in terms of your future
self, not how it is.
194
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:44,200
Because I tell you Jennifer.
What I was in that wheelchair, I
195
00:10:44,208 --> 00:10:45,900
could have given up all kind of
hope.
196
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:50,600
I had been used to running
marathons bowling having fun,
197
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,100
traveling the world as a,
renowned speaker.
198
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:57,000
And now, I couldn't even walk
Look, I could have said, this is
199
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,100
how it is, but instead I said
this is not how it's going to be
200
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:04,900
forever, and I took the steps
and let me help you.
201
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:07,900
Those of you who are thinking,
I've been taking the steps and
202
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:11,200
it just seemed like I've gotten
nowhere, get it.
203
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,600
I took the steps of what it
would take to get back on my
204
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,300
feet, six years in physical
therapy so that I could learn to
205
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:22,600
walk again.
But here's the key quitters
206
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,200
never win and winners.
Never quit.
207
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:28,800
Not believe we were born to win.
So I made up in my mind I don't
208
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,600
care how long is long take, it
is going to happen and I am not
209
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,500
going to quit and that's what my
story is about reminding.
210
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:39,200
People that quitters never win
and winners.
211
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,700
Never quit.
There's greatness inside of you.
212
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:44,000
Get out.
Let's go and do it again,
213
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,400
amazing.
You've also written another book
214
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,100
called decisions women face and
make, can you tell us a little
215
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:52,400
bit about that book?
So it would be my pleasure.
216
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,200
Thank you for asking so
decisions with I'm facing make
217
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,600
is probably one of 12 books that
I actually have out.
218
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,400
And many of those books are
called anthologies where I
219
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,500
encourage people to share their
story.
220
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:09,300
And so we work together.
There were three of us in this
221
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:12,200
particular Anthology.
We work together to tell our
222
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,000
stories of a decision.
A life decision that we had to
223
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,100
make that was challenging.
It wasn't difficult, it was
224
00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:23,600
scary, but we Preston and we
made the decision with courage,
225
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,200
we tell our story of May.
In that decision, one woman made
226
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,800
a decision to donate a kidney.
And she shares, her Story.
227
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:34,900
Another Woman made a decision to
forgive her parents and she
228
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:39,000
shares her story as well.
Everyone has a story and our
229
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,700
story is created to share to
remind someone else.
230
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:45,800
As I said earlier, you don't
have to die where you living
231
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,500
beautiful.
Now you also host a community,
232
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:51,100
that's called The Cure Circle.
What's that about?
233
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:55,300
I love my community because I
believe we are created for Our
234
00:12:55,300 --> 00:13:00,300
community we are created for
connection and unfortunately we
235
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:03,700
have sometimes this attitude,
like I don't need anyone, I
236
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:07,400
could do this by myself and that
is so far from the truth.
237
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,600
We need each other to survive.
In the Cure circle is a safe
238
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,600
space for women to come together
and know that they're not alone.
239
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:21,800
It's an opportunity for them to
turn in their shame, their
240
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,100
guilt, Their Fear, their doubts,
for a designer label.
241
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:29,100
Love and acceptance and
gratitude, it's an opportunity
242
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:32,400
for them to remember that they
matter and we encourage one
243
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,600
another, we get underneath each
other and lift each other up and
244
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,300
remind each other.
We're rooting for you because
245
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:41,200
you're a winner and so we wanted
to just say if you want to hang
246
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,600
out in the Winner's Circle
that's the Cure circle.
247
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,300
Is it an online community or a
do you have gatherings in person
248
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:49,600
as well?
What a great question, it is an
249
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,100
online community and we actually
do have gatherings in person as
250
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:56,300
well monthly.
And we have Gatherings
251
00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:59,200
virtually.
So we have opportunities to
252
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,800
gather on a consistent basis
virtually and in person because
253
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,600
again, that connection is
important and that self-care
254
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,200
women taken time out from being
the role that they play to being
255
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,000
who they are, is key for their
survival, for their thriving and
256
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,600
for their success.
Beautiful.
257
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,300
Now, I have some statements that
I would love for you to finish
258
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:31,400
the sentences on Tell me RJ
beauty is beauty is From the
259
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,200
Inside Out.
Amen, on that you are speaking
260
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,100
my language.
Girl, it's great to be human
261
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:44,100
because we have feelings and
emotions that animals do not to
262
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:50,100
share and give to one another.
The thing I love most about me
263
00:14:50,100 --> 00:15:00,100
is I am authentically me.
No apology needed, most fun.
264
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:03,500
When I am serving other people
beautiful.
265
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:06,900
The world needs more of
Jennifer's in the world.
266
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:11,000
Oh gosh ones enough of that.
But thank you.
267
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:19,200
And we we are at our best when
we a true to who we are.

Thank you so much Jennifer for
having me.
18
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:01,400
I'm excited.
I was speaking with your
19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,100
audience and learning what it is
that they need to get unstuck.
20
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:10,200
Oh yes, I am excited to.
So let us start from the
21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,100
beginning because you have quite
a story you said that death sent
22
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:17,800
you an invitation on a couple of
occasions, but you overcame, can
23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,300
you tell us what happens?
Absolutely, you know, there are
24
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:24,700
lots of invitations that we get
in life and we have to decide.
25
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:27,000
Do I want this one?
Am I going to accept this one?
26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,600
You know, today is not a good
day for this one and every time
27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,500
death sent me an invitation
tried to take my life.
28
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:36,500
I said today's not a good day
for this one and just totally
29
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:38,800
said, no, thank you.
And there were several
30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,100
occasions.
One I was on the freeway on my
31
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:47,000
way to do real estate and a car
came on the freeway out of
32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,600
control literally ended up going
the wrong direction.
33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,000
On the freeway hittin me head-on
knocking my car off the freeway
34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,400
causing it flip over several
times.
35
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,100
You would think I would be dead?
But I told death not today, I
36
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:05,800
got plans one occasion, there's
been several occasion as I
37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,600
shared when I was a child, I
believe this or not, I was
38
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,000
bitten by a dog, and when I
arrived at the hospital, they
39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,400
saw me right away and they said,
one more inch and I would have
40
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,900
been dead.
But once again.
41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,200
No, thank you.
I have plans plans for a future
42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,700
and a hope.
And as we say, am I got time for
43
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:30,900
that?
There was one more time and this
44
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:34,000
time it's actually recorded in
my latest book which will
45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,500
probably talk about later a
reposition Journey.
46
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,700
I'm still standing where I share
my story of being involved in a
47
00:02:40,708 --> 00:02:44,500
life-threatening car accident,
where in the blink of an eye, my
48
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:48,000
life changed and Jennifer.
I can't really tell you the
49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,500
story because I don't know it.
I can only tell you what people
50
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:55,200
told me because I was literally
knocked out.
51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,600
I Unconscious for several hours.
I suffered a brain injury ended
52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,900
up in a wheelchair.
Unable to talk unable to walk
53
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:08,000
and having to be invent myself
in terms of getting back up and
54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,800
you know it doesn't matter how
many times you get knocked down.
55
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,800
It really is about how many
times you decide to get back up
56
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,100
and that was one more time where
I said?
57
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:18,100
Nope, sorry, that's, I'm getting
back up.
58
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,700
You can't have me this time
either.
59
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:24,200
Well, RJ, you obviously are
meant to be here and not only
60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,200
that, you also I have Lupus.
Is that right?
61
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,400
Well, I'm going to say I was
diagnosed with lupus.
62
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:33,300
There's a difference.
Yes, I went through all the
63
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:37,200
procedures, the biopsies,
everything I had all the
64
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,800
symptoms, and I just decided I
didn't have time for that
65
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,100
either.
It was like, no fun waking up.
66
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,900
Not realizing where you were,
like, and you were in your own
67
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,600
house.
I didn't like the feeling and I
68
00:03:49,608 --> 00:03:52,000
was like, no, something has to
give and I think it's going to
69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,400
be you lip lupus.
So just decided.
70
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,900
No, that's not for me.
Either.
71
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:59,300
So went back to the doctor after
all, the testing and the
72
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:03,400
biopsies, and they're like, well
we can't find anything I'm like
73
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,500
I know because I don't have time
for that and so now I don't
74
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:09,200
suffer with any of these
symptoms.
75
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:12,000
Wow.
So obviously your life is a
76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,300
testament to resiliency and
getting up after you've been
77
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:21,100
knocked down quite a lot of
times and quite severe occasions
78
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:25,000
that you have experienced.
And so from that perspective and
79
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,600
from All that you have gone
through.
80
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,900
Now, you help others to gain
their own resiliency and to help
81
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,200
them get past.
Perhaps not death-defying
82
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,300
situations perhaps.
So, but in some cases, it could
83
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:40,100
be some sort of a trauma, some
sort of a negativity, some sort
84
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,700
of limiting belief.
And so I'd like to first start
85
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,500
by asking you, how do you define
a limiting belief?
86
00:04:45,508 --> 00:04:49,600
And what can people do to truly
get over a limiting belief?
87
00:04:49,608 --> 00:04:53,400
Well, my definition of limiting
beliefs and I believe that's a
88
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,200
great question.
So, first of all, thank you for
89
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,600
Asking my definition of limiting
belief is believing anything
90
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,300
about yourself.
That is not the truth of who you
91
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:04,700
were created to be.
You know, they say, if you
92
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:07,100
believe you can, it's true.
You can, if you believe you
93
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:08,800
can't.
Well, that's true too.
94
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:12,100
You can't.
And so, you risk a 50-50 chance
95
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:15,500
of succeeding when you believe
you can, if only you believe you
96
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:17,300
can't.
So having that Foundation of
97
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:22,100
that belief, that knows that you
were created to prosper, you
98
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:25,300
were created to win and not
deterring.
99
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:28,800
Matt not going to the left or to
the right, but keeping your eyes
100
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,300
on the prize is what we say.
When we believe, when we look to
101
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:35,500
the left, the limiting belief
comes in, when we look to the,
102
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:39,400
right, the limiting belief comes
in and that comes in the form of
103
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:43,300
Shame.
Guilt doubt, rejection beer, it
104
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:47,100
shows up and it doesn't look
good on us as women.
105
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,900
I don't think it looks good on
anybody.
106
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:55,600
That's it, you're right, yeah.
Now sometimes these Ting
107
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,700
beliefs.
A lot of people will convince
108
00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:00,900
themselves that they're not
limiting their actual
109
00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:03,900
limitations.
They might say I have evidence
110
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:07,200
All Around Me from even when I
was a young person that I
111
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,300
couldn't do this or I couldn't
do that or I wasn't made for
112
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:12,000
this.
I wasn't made for that.
113
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,700
What would you say to those
people who have been trained and
114
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:18,600
ingrained to have these limiting
belief?
115
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:22,900
You can retrain your brain.
Because in our subconscious was
116
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:25,300
with what we live by, that's
what we go.
117
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:28,900
I so if we experienced a
traumatic event, which in
118
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:32,400
reality, we all have in some
form or fashion, our brain will
119
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,400
remember that.
And we go into survival mode
120
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:39,000
where we won't try to get out of
that because we believe that's
121
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,100
where we supposed to be.
And the first thing I would say
122
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,000
to this amazing question, you
can believe it if you want.
123
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,800
But remember this, you get out
of life, what you put into life.
124
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,200
So if that's the conversation
you want to have with yourself,
125
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,700
then you're right, that's
exactly what you're Going to
126
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:00,800
get, but you can change your
conversation and you can rewire
127
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,600
your brain.
It's a matter of positioning
128
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,800
yourself in the winner seat
because it's empty because
129
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,300
you're not sitting there and
that's where you belong now.
130
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:13,600
Are there specific tools or
techniques that you employ to
131
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,900
help people get into a more
positive and more resilient
132
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:20,600
mindset and there are different
tools.
133
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,400
And so what I want to First say
to everyone who's listening,
134
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:27,700
find the tool, Works for you.
You may try one thing and it may
135
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:29,500
not work.
That's not in all.
136
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:35,100
Be find the tool and the coach
that works for you with you and
137
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:37,200
on your behalf.
So that's the first thing you
138
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,100
want to do.
Just because the tool is
139
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:42,100
available it doesn't mean it's a
tool that you use, right?
140
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:44,500
So if you want to unscrew
something, there's a hammer
141
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:49,100
there, you don't use the hammer,
you use the tool prepared for
142
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:53,200
and measured before that event.
So the tools I use first and
143
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,000
foremost is we work Jennifer
from Um, the inside out and most
144
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,800
people live from the outside in.
So we do the reverse, we shift
145
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,100
your mindset to live your life,
from the inside out because I
146
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:09,700
believe everything we need in
order to succeed.
147
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:12,700
It's already inside of us.
I don't believe women are
148
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:15,000
broken.
I don't believe men are broken.
149
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,900
I don't believe people are
broken.
150
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,700
I believe we've had some broken
experiences but they come to
151
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:26,600
make us better and not bitter
mode us and Shape us, there are
152
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,300
opportunities to learn from.
So we start from the inside out
153
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:35,200
with the tools that each
individual already has, hmm.
154
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,100
And what it takes is for us to
recognize that there is this
155
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:41,400
potential.
And sometimes it just takes a
156
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,500
quick unlocking, sometimes not
so quick.
157
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,400
Let's face it.
Sometimes you have to practice
158
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,600
at these things.
Sometimes it's lifelong practice
159
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,400
and journeying.
And that's okay.
160
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:53,100
It's all about what you're in
state of improvement is going to
161
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:57,500
be, but it takes that courage.
I was curious to you, is there a
162
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,800
difference between courage and
bravery?
163
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:01,800
Beautiful question, I love that
question.
164
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,500
Thank you for asking.
I believe they go hand-in-hand
165
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,600
and I believe when we look up
the definition of courage, we
166
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,100
will find that.
It says courage is being afraid,
167
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:14,500
we're going, anyhow.
So sometimes we say courage is
168
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:16,600
just running into the face of
fear.
169
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:18,600
No, fear.
I don't believe that's true.
170
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,400
I believe courage is running
into the face of fear afraid,
171
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,300
and you have to be brave and And
to do that.
172
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:30,100
So they complement one another.
It's like an ice cream sundae.
173
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,400
You have to ice cream and then
you may want some nuts on top or
174
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,600
a cherry on top.
What courage is the ice cream
175
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:40,100
and bravery?
Is that cherry on top?
176
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,400
It's like that actionable step
that you're going to take
177
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,600
because you do have the courage.
That's nice.
178
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,100
So you've written a few books,
one of which is a repositioning
179
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:52,800
Journey.
I'm still standing, can you tell
180
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,200
us about that book?
I can.
181
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,800
It is my name.
Moire of the resiliency.
182
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:02,800
I'm still standing a story of
greatness and I believe we all
183
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,600
have a story of greatness.
And I also believe that
184
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,200
everything we've gone through is
to create who we are really
185
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,500
meant to be, and we each have a
story to tell and that's what I
186
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,000
did.
I, but my life story into a book
187
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
to remind other people and
particularly women, I say women
188
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,700
because that's who I'm gifted to
work with, but to remind you,
189
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,400
you don't have to live.
Where you're dying and you don't
190
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,900
have to die, where you're living
earlier.
191
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:33,300
You said, well, what if they
believe this is how it is, it
192
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:37,000
doesn't have to stay that way.
It might be that way, but think
193
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,500
of life in terms of your future
self, not how it is.
194
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:44,200
Because I tell you Jennifer.
What I was in that wheelchair, I
195
00:10:44,208 --> 00:10:45,900
could have given up all kind of
hope.
196
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:50,600
I had been used to running
marathons bowling having fun,
197
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,100
traveling the world as a,
renowned speaker.
198
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:57,000
And now, I couldn't even walk
Look, I could have said, this is
199
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,100
how it is, but instead I said
this is not how it's going to be
200
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:04,900
forever, and I took the steps
and let me help you.
201
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:07,900
Those of you who are thinking,
I've been taking the steps and
202
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:11,200
it just seemed like I've gotten
nowhere, get it.
203
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,600
I took the steps of what it
would take to get back on my
204
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,300
feet, six years in physical
therapy so that I could learn to
205
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:22,600
walk again.
But here's the key quitters
206
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,200
never win and winners.
Never quit.
207
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:28,800
Not believe we were born to win.
So I made up in my mind I don't
208
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,600
care how long is long take, it
is going to happen and I am not
209
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,500
going to quit and that's what my
story is about reminding.
210
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:39,200
People that quitters never win
and winners.
211
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,700
Never quit.
There's greatness inside of you.
212
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:44,000
Get out.
Let's go and do it again,
213
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,400
amazing.
You've also written another book
214
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,100
called decisions women face and
make, can you tell us a little
215
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:52,400
bit about that book?
So it would be my pleasure.
216
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,200
Thank you for asking so
decisions with I'm facing make
217
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,600
is probably one of 12 books that
I actually have out.
218
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,400
And many of those books are
called anthologies where I
219
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,500
encourage people to share their
story.
220
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:09,300
And so we work together.
There were three of us in this
221
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:12,200
particular Anthology.
We work together to tell our
222
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,000
stories of a decision.
A life decision that we had to
223
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,100
make that was challenging.
It wasn't difficult, it was
224
00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:23,600
scary, but we Preston and we
made the decision with courage,
225
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,200
we tell our story of May.
In that decision, one woman made
226
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,800
a decision to donate a kidney.
And she shares, her Story.
227
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:34,900
Another Woman made a decision to
forgive her parents and she
228
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:39,000
shares her story as well.
Everyone has a story and our
229
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,700
story is created to share to
remind someone else.
230
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:45,800
As I said earlier, you don't
have to die where you living
231
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,500
beautiful.
Now you also host a community,
232
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:51,100
that's called The Cure Circle.
What's that about?
233
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:55,300
I love my community because I
believe we are created for Our
234
00:12:55,300 --> 00:13:00,300
community we are created for
connection and unfortunately we
235
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:03,700
have sometimes this attitude,
like I don't need anyone, I
236
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:07,400
could do this by myself and that
is so far from the truth.
237
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,600
We need each other to survive.
In the Cure circle is a safe
238
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,600
space for women to come together
and know that they're not alone.
239
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:21,800
It's an opportunity for them to
turn in their shame, their
240
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,100
guilt, Their Fear, their doubts,
for a designer label.
241
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:29,100
Love and acceptance and
gratitude, it's an opportunity
242
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:32,400
for them to remember that they
matter and we encourage one
243
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,600
another, we get underneath each
other and lift each other up and
244
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,300
remind each other.
We're rooting for you because
245
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:41,200
you're a winner and so we wanted
to just say if you want to hang
246
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,600
out in the Winner's Circle
that's the Cure circle.
247
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,300
Is it an online community or a
do you have gatherings in person
248
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:49,600
as well?
What a great question, it is an
249
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,100
online community and we actually
do have gatherings in person as
250
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:56,300
well monthly.
And we have Gatherings
251
00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:59,200
virtually.
So we have opportunities to
252
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,800
gather on a consistent basis
virtually and in person because
253
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,600
again, that connection is
important and that self-care
254
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,200
women taken time out from being
the role that they play to being
255
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,000
who they are, is key for their
survival, for their thriving and
256
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,600
for their success.
Beautiful.
257
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,300
Now, I have some statements that
I would love for you to finish
258
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:31,400
the sentences on Tell me RJ
beauty is beauty is From the
259
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,200
Inside Out.
Amen, on that you are speaking
260
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,100
my language.
Girl, it's great to be human
261
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:44,100
because we have feelings and
emotions that animals do not to
262
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:50,100
share and give to one another.
The thing I love most about me
263
00:14:50,100 --> 00:15:00,100
is I am authentically me.
No apology needed, most fun.
264
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:03,500
When I am serving other people
beautiful.
265
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:06,900
The world needs more of
Jennifer's in the world.
266
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:11,000
Oh gosh ones enough of that.
But thank you.
267
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:19,200
And we we are at our best when
we a true to who we are.
268
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:22,100
That is so true.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is
269
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:24,900
r.j.
Jackson the Courage Giver.
270
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:27,900
I'll put all of her information
in the show notes so that you
271
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:30,400
can find her definitely pick up
her books.
272
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:34,000
Definitely take a look at the
Cure Circle so that you can see
273
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,900
if this is a community.
That's right for you to build
274
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:40,400
support and connection gets
together with like-minded women
275
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,000
and see about dating some more
courage in your life to get to
276
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,500
that next level of your
potential RJ.
277
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:48,600
Thank you so much for being a
role model.
278
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:51,400
It's been a pleasure.
Thank you for Paving the way.
