04:08Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome on in to another episode of the form one podcast.

04:15We are on episode 38.

04:18And the question that I have to ask you all is, what are you feeding your spirit?

04:24So we have a very special guest, Linda Brand coming in very shortly.

04:57So we are kicking this off with Spiritual Sunday.

05:01So again, thank you all so much for supporting the form one podcast.

05:05And of course, I have to give a very special thank you to my executive producer, my Lord and Savior,

05:11Jesus Christ.

05:12Without him, none of this would be possible.

05:14And without each and every one of you out there supporting the show, this would not be possible as well.

05:19So please continue to like, comment, share, subscribe, tag a friend, text a friend, do whatever you need to do

05:26to bring people into the form one podcast.

05:30So now that we have that out the way, we're getting ready to get right on into the song of

05:36the day.

05:36I am so excited.

05:38This is an amazing week.

05:40I am here broadcasting live from Las Vegas.

05:44You know, I'm ready for the Mary J. Blige residency.

05:48Number one fan right here.

05:50And of course, I had to kick this series off with, you know, a song from my girl, Mary.

05:56So let's just get right into it.

06:00Song of the day.

06:13Love Yourself.

06:14Mary J. Blige featuring Kanye West.

06:17And this is off of her strength of a woman album.

06:20And I know I have, you know, featured this song on the show plenty of times, but that's just how

06:26powerful it is.

06:28That is just how powerful it is when it comes to loving yourself and someone prior to 2020 who didn't

06:36know how to love himself.

06:38I have to make sure that I reaffirm and I go through and make sure that I'm in a good

06:43spot.

06:44You know, I'm here to rest.

06:46I'm here to relax and I'm here to recharge.

06:49And I'm here to step away from everybody else's plan and to make sure that I reevaluate my plan and

06:55make sure that I'm on God's plan.

06:57And a lot of times we are not able to do that.

07:00We're not able to do that because we get so wrapped up and we get so trapped up into somebody

07:05else's situation.

07:05When I talked about the episode title, what are you feeding your spirit?

07:12It's true.

07:12And I want you to think about that.

07:15Think about this rhetorical question.

07:16What are you feeding your spirit?

07:19Is it something that you signed up for or is it something that somebody else signed up for?

07:24Is it something that somebody spoke over your life and you're just going along with the plan?

07:27What are you feeding your spirit?

07:29A lot of times we feed our spirit with things that are unhealthy.

07:32We sign up for things that are no good for us.

07:35We go along with plans that were never designed for us.

07:39And that comes from the lack of love, the lack of self-love.

07:43Everything starts with self.

07:45And you need to learn.

07:46And again, I don't know who I'm speaking to.

07:48I'm only speaking from real life experiences.

07:51Some of us, we need to learn how to love ourselves a little bit more than we love signing up

07:56for something that doesn't work for us.

07:58And we love going along to get along.

08:00And we love getting in where we can fit in.

08:04We have to love ourselves.

08:06The 411 Podcast did not get here six years later without this journey.

08:11And it started with self-love, awareness, realizing that this no longer serves me.

08:18This situation, this relationship, this job, this friendship, I don't care what it is.

08:24At that moment in 2020 when I was crying out, it didn't serve me.

08:29And it started with self-love.

08:31And it has been a long journey and it's been a long ride, just like the song says.

08:34But I made it here with love.

08:38I made it here with love.

08:40Been through it all, ups and downs.

08:42We've all been through some things.

08:44But it's when we can take that time.

08:46We can re-center and get back to square one.

08:51Get back to root one.

08:53And figure out, this is what got me here.

08:57This is what's going to keep me here.

08:59And I have to stay focused and I have to stay grounded.

09:02And I am so thankful that I've made that change in 2020.

09:05And I'm here now along this journey and it continues.

09:11But I have to remind myself, how did we get here?

09:14How did we get here?

09:15And what do we have to do to make sure that we stay on the right track?

09:19We maintain.

09:20We sustain.

09:22And we do anything and everything that we can do to make sure that we never go back to the

09:27person who we were before.

09:29Song of the day, Love Yourself, Mary J. Blige featuring Kanye West off of the Strength of a Woman album.

09:35Also, shout out to Mary J. Blige for the Las Vegas residency.

09:39Thank you all so much for joining in.

09:50I was just having a brief conversation before coming on air.

09:55And I realized that a lot of the music, you know, I love music and this is, you know, a

10:00staple on a podcast along with the financial aspect.

10:03But the music came first and a lot of Mary's music definitely is the soundtrack of my life.

10:09And I'm going to speak more about that as we go throughout the week for this theme.

10:14But, you know, I don't want to continue to ramble and I can talk about my girl all day long.

10:19So without further ado, we're going to go ahead and call up my friend, Miss Linda, and bring her in

10:25and see what she has to bring to the table.

10:28So here we go.

10:43Hello, hello, hello. Welcome on in.

10:45Hello, thank you for having me.

10:49Absolutely, absolutely.

10:51Love yourself.

10:52How do you feel about loving yourself?

10:56Well, I feel it's the essential.

10:59It's like the main ingredient to everything.

11:03And ultimately, we are someone or some of the one we are masterpieces, a piece of the master.

11:09And if you don't care for yourself, it's like you're not caring for God.

11:15And I feel like, yeah, and that's like been a real pivotal thing for me because ultimately people are programmed

11:27from a young age that loving yourself is selfish and all of these different things about prioritizing your well-being.

11:35And I know it's kind of cliche to say, but when you fill your own cup first and give from

11:41the overflow.

11:42Absolutely.

11:43Then everybody wins.

11:45And, you know, so I just feel like self-love is a deep foundation.

11:49And that's why I published a journal on self-love.

11:53Oh, absolutely.

11:54We're going to definitely get into that.

11:56Definitely.

11:57Yes.

12:00What a great way to pick everything off.

12:05So let's rewind a little bit.

12:07So I always ask everybody, where are you calling from?

12:10So if you can let everyone know who's watching, where are you calling from?

12:15Where are you from?

12:15I am currently in the Sarasota area of Florida, and I have not always been here my whole life.

12:23I was in Michigan until about four years ago when I changed my life and sold my home of 25

12:29years and moved across the country to get out of debt and to start a new chapter.

12:34And so it's been a journey and I changed careers and all the things.

12:40But, yeah, I'm in Florida, Southwest Florida.

12:42Okay.

12:43So we share a similar story.

12:46I did the same thing.

12:47I had to liquidate everything and get away from it.

12:50Just you can have it and reset.

12:53Yeah.

12:55So what I'm going to.

12:59Did you know that those things were a change was coming?

13:05Well, yeah, I mean, I started hiring coaches in 2017.

13:09I have I have overcome a lot of challenges from, you know, getting in trouble when I was young and

13:15just a health condition.

13:17I mean, multiple things.

13:19I was a single mom, fell into a career that wasn't really aligned for who I am.

13:26And ultimately, in 2017, I started hiring coaches and they were all spiritual.

13:32And I was not aware of so many things because I didn't really grow up that way.

13:37I am Jewish, but I didn't grow up with faith or religion or holidays.

13:42We had a Christmas tree.

13:44My dad was kind of an atheist because of the Holocaust and I don't blame him.

13:48But so we didn't have that foundation.

13:51And ultimately, in 2017, I started hiring these coaches.

13:55I was in real estate and I was trying to fix, you know, for 30 years, I was driving around

14:02listening to Tony Robbins and Brian Tracy because I knew I grew up in kind of a negative fear based

14:08home.

14:08And, you know, critical, judgmental, you know, they were trying to protect me.

14:13But, you know, it wasn't exactly the foundation to grow into some, you know, it wasn't ideal.

14:18So anyway, these coaches I hired, they were all spiritual.

14:24And then in 2021, I was at an event in Miami, Florida, and I got epiphany, epiphany, epiphany.

14:29And the final night I was there, I was washing my hands and I got a divine message.

14:34I belonged in Florida.

14:35I belonged here.

14:36So I changed my whole life.

14:38It was a lot of fear because I didn't have the faith I have today, but I went back and

14:46I, everything lined up for me, the universe, God, everything lined up for me to move.

14:51And I listed and sold my home.

14:53Um, it's enclosed on 2222 and arrived here in April and of 2022.

15:01And it's just been an incredible journey of peeling layers, healing more, you know, self-worth is one of my

15:10to-coon, you know, I study Kabbalah and we talk a lot about soul corrections.

15:15And so, you know, this is why I teach what I teach.

15:19My podcast is worthy and abundant.

15:22So I'm teaching abundance and I'm teaching worthiness because we're all inherently worthy just for breathing.

15:29And we're all carrying these like programs and, you know, from the past or, you know, carrying shame, the lowest

15:37vibration, right?

15:38We live in this vibrational universe.

15:39So it's been an incredible journey.

15:42And, um, yeah, I was in debt and I had no other choice but to sell my home and I

15:47didn't want to stay in the cold Michigan.

15:51So I was all for jumping and then that appeared.

15:56So that is so amazing and so mystical that you said you started hiring coaches in 2017 and it didn't

16:05really all come together until correct me if I'm wrong.

16:09You said 2022.

16:11Yeah, well, 2021, I was at another coaching event and everybody was a coach and I was in real estate

16:17and miserable and struggling.

16:19And I'm like, she's a coach.

16:20She's a coach.

16:21Why am I not a coach?

16:22I've been, you know, helping all my friends for free.

16:25But yeah, I was I made the move in 2022.

16:28You are correct.

16:30Because, um, when I look at my life, it was a complete disaster and I was miserable.

16:36I was in retail, but miserable.

16:38And, um, 2017, um, God introduced someone into my life and she started to help me.

16:46She was a coach.

16:47She was a life coach.

16:48She didn't know she was because, you know, sometimes we look for the certificate.

16:52Sometimes we look for, you know, the professionals.

16:54But this was someone that I met at a festival and, um, she practiced Buddhism.

17:02And, um, 2017, she started to speak beautiful, positive, wonderful things into my life.

17:08I didn't even believe it about myself and started to help encourage and uplift me to give me the strength

17:14to make the move that I needed to make several years later in 2020.

17:18I had no idea, but I needed that strength.

17:21I needed that reassurance.

17:22I needed that encouragement.

17:24I needed that empowerment.

17:25And it started in 2017 and I had no idea the tiny little minute layering of spiritual talk, layering of

17:36positivity, tiny little baby steps.

17:39And I don't have the scripture properly.

17:41And excuse me for that.

17:43I'm still a work in progress, but as small as a mustard seed, it's tiny, tiny, tiny little baby steps.

17:51And I became this mighty warrior suited up, ready to go and was able to stand up for myself in

17:582020 and made the most prolific decision that I could have made in my life at that time.

18:04And, and that's why I'm here today.

18:06That's amazing.

18:08So, so I think that that is so mystical that you were speaking about how at 2017, and then of

18:16course, you may, you know, moved up to where you are here today.

18:19I think 2020 was just about spiritual awakening for, for a lot of people.

18:25Yeah.

18:25I actually think a lot of good came from 2020 and, you know, people love to, I just went to

18:30visit a friend in Atlanta, an old childhood friend, and she had all these things to say about 2020.

18:36And honestly, I feel like 2020 was helpful to a lot of people in reality.

18:41Like you were spending time with your children and you were riding bikes and you'd go to the store and

18:46all the bikes were sold and, and, you know, people were playing games and with their kids and, and, you

18:51know, and then more people were working from home and that changed everything.

18:55Now more people can work from home.

18:57So, I mean, there's been little blessings that have come from 2020 and, and I've had guests on my show

19:02who changed their whole life in 2020 and looked in the mirror.

19:05They were forced to look in the mirror and like fix what needed to be fixed.

19:08And they wrote a book and they started healing and therapy and all the things, you know?

19:13Yeah.

19:14That's amazing.

19:15Yeah.

19:16Mirror.

19:16I love to speak through music as well, but that is another Mary J Blige song mirror.

19:23And it's basically, you know, when you stop blaming other people and you look in the mirror and you realize

19:28that you were the person who was hurting yourself.

19:31And in reality, you were the person who was hurting yourself, but you really didn't figure it out until you

19:36stood over the sink and you had to finally take a look in the mirror.

19:40So.

19:41Oh yeah.

19:42So many people.

19:44Yeah.

19:45So now you have this book, you, um, have a journal.

19:49Yes.

19:50You want to speak to us about that?

19:52Sure.

19:53So, um, ultimately I've been journaling for many years, gratitude mostly because I had a debilitating illness in 2011 and

20:012012 and was misdiagnosed by multiple doctors.

20:03And I intuitively knew it wasn't what they were saying, fibromyalgia, it's a whole story.

20:09I won't get all into that to use up all the time, but, um, I started practicing gratitude and I

20:15do it continually to this day.

20:16And so, um, a few months ago I decided to create a journal with intention setting, gratitude, an evening routine,

20:27and it doesn't take very long.

20:29And it has also quotes.

20:31It has affirmations in there.

20:32Um, just reminders.

20:35We all, you know, when you wake up in the morning, you have a new day and it's a gift

20:41because.

20:42You know, not everyone gets that.

20:44Right.

20:44So you woke up.

20:46So thank you, God, for a new day.

20:47And then you have the journal to write your intentions and your gratitude.

20:51And how do you want to feel today?

20:53And who do you want to be today?

20:55Right.

20:55Because we can intention setting is super powerful.

20:58I mean, Wayne Dyer wrote an entire book on it called the power of intention.

21:02And ultimately I published this journal and it's been a beautiful, um, thing.

21:10And I'm just happy to serve the planet this way.

21:14It's, it's, it's just what I personally use every morning and every evening.

21:18And it's in the evening, you're reflecting on the day.

21:20What went well today?

21:21It's self love because it's like, how did I honor myself today?

21:25Um, you know, all what you were saying earlier about like all your little just micro things

21:31or decisions, like every decision you make is towards the person you're becoming or the,

21:36the old version.

21:37Right.

21:37It's like every single decision we make throughout the day is, is this for my future self?

21:44Or is this an old version?

21:46Right.

21:46Hmm.

21:48Jacob and Esau.

21:49Yeah.

21:50That's what I think of.

21:51And when you were writing this book, when you were putting this book out, um, you have

21:59a podcast worthy and abundant.

22:03Did you feel that you were worthy to produce this book or release this book at that moment?

22:09Or did you have to become that person?

22:13Um, I've become over the last four years, I have done a lot of becoming.

22:19And today I actually love myself more than I have ever.

22:24And I have more grace, give myself more compassion than ever.

22:29And I'll give an example.

22:30And yes, I did feel a hundred percent worthy of, of creating that journal.

22:34It's not a book.

22:35I am writing my inspiring memoir.

22:37And, um, but it is a journal for everyone to use.

22:43Um, and I think journaling is just super powerful.

22:47Um, to, to answer your question worthy.

22:51Um, I feel more worthy today than I've ever felt in my life.

22:56And I am just, you know, just going on that trip that I said, I went to a, on a

23:02trip to

23:02visit a childhood friend.

23:04Like I used to think she was like better than me.

23:07Like I used to think I used to have these feelings.

23:10Like I was less than, and that's from my programming.

23:14And that is from so many different things.

23:17But cause she has this great college degree and great, all these things, married a house

23:22or whatever.

23:23And ultimately, um, when we were together, there was none, there was no, none of that.

23:29Cause everything's energy.

23:31And I was very confident and calm.

23:33And like, you know, you can have, you know, comparing yourself to others, which we do as

23:38the human condition, we do it, but it's really a disservice to yourself because everyone's

23:44on their own journey.

23:45Right.

23:46So I've learned, you know, that abundance is more than physical things.

23:52Right.

23:53Yeah.

23:54I think that is, um, so profound.

23:57The words that you were just speaking, um, you know, comparison, you know, we, we all

24:03fall into that trap.

24:06And I, I learned, you know, that in 2020 that, you know, you don't compare yourself to anybody.

24:12The more that you compare yourself, the more you start looking at Instagram, the more you

24:16start looking at this person's profile.

24:17And how come I don't look like this?

24:19And how come I, I spent majority of my life like that.

24:23And I realized that the only competition that you truly really have in life is with yourself,

24:31defeating yourself, defeating those bad habits, defeating the, the, the Esau, you know, you

24:37know, you know, to not pour into that life that you've had before, but to nurture and embrace and uplift

24:46Jacob.

24:46So, um, I think that that is so profound.

24:52So can you help us?

24:53Can you help anybody out there that's listening?

24:56What are the steps, small, little, tiny baby steps, any roadmap that you can help someone

25:01who doesn't feel worthy of themselves?

25:03They are still in the competition mode and they are still seeking validation outside.

25:10Well, I would invite them to know that they are powerful and that they are,

25:16um, a masterpiece, a piece of the master.

25:20They are, they are here on purpose and for a purpose and that they have gifts and talents

25:26and everyone's unique.

25:29Like it's, it's like a butterfly, like your fingerprint.

25:33We're all different and we have all different gifts, but to focus on yourself and looking at

25:39that, that you are here on purpose and you're worthy just for breathing.

25:46Like I started going to the rabbi, literally like the ortho, like, cause I live, God planted me here

25:52and I can walk to Habad.

25:54There's a shul right here.

25:55And I started plugging into every class cause I study Kabbalah and that's energy and Kabbalah.

26:01Everyone, you don't have to be Jewish to learn this.

26:04This is like universal laws.

26:05I mean, Deepak Chopra, all these books, you talked about Buddhism earlier there.

26:09I feel like they're all rooted in Judaism, to be honest with you.

26:13And Kabbalah, um, specifically is like, you're worthy because you're alive.

26:19God would not have woke you up today if he didn't have faith in you.

26:24And that is the truth.

26:26That is the truth.

26:28So it's really just caring for yourself.

26:31When you want to be hard on yourself, when you have that mean inner critic, that's when

26:37you have to, it's, it's your inner child.

26:39Like whose voice is that?

26:41And give it love.

26:43I remember walking with my dog behind my apartment and I remember the meanest.

26:48I, I mean, I've had a mean inner critic for a long time because of all the programming

26:53conditioning, but, and I sent it love and it was gone within seconds.

27:00I sent it love.

27:02So, and I had a psychotherapist on my podcast.

27:05She's a high level coach.

27:06She charges 150 K for a second, for, you know, to work with her.

27:11And she wrote a little tiny book called, um, how to love yourself in less than a week

27:15and for the rest of your life.

27:16And it's this tiny little book and I bought it of course, but it was actually her name's

27:21Rachel Madorski.

27:22But my point is it's these little steps that you take every day.

27:28Like maybe you buy flowers at the store at the grocery or, and you put it by your bed,

27:35or you ask yourself, what is the next most loving action I can take for myself today?

27:40Because we have programs, not just from our caregivers and parents, but like society that

27:46says, do, do, do, and check off the boxes.

27:48And then you're worth something.

27:50Like it's all these external things that make us feel something.

27:54And so I interviewed multiple people on my show that were like, well, I did what they

28:00said.

28:00I went to college.

28:01I got married.

28:02I had, now I'm freaking unhappy.

28:04Like what?

28:05I did everything they said, but it's just autopilot.

28:08It's not like I'm a spiritual energetic being having a human experience.

28:13That's the truth.

28:14We are energy.

28:15We are spirits and energy inside these physical bodies.

28:19I've been studying this for a decade.

28:21Like I know this information and the reality is like, it's all energy and you can create

28:28anything you want.

28:30Like you are so powerful and you are so beautiful inside and out.

28:34And like, it's just knowing this truth because we have literally been taught lies and fear.

28:40And if you wake up in the morning and you turn on the news, like that is to me, I

28:45don't,

28:45I don't watch the news.

28:46I live in a little bubble.

28:48My friend that I visited in Georgia, you know, she is one of those, you know, intelligent,

28:53you know, she watches the news, you know, she lives.

28:55It's a fear program.

28:57I'm not going to do it.

28:58Absolutely.

28:59I don't wake up and engage in things that aren't going to serve me.

29:02Cause I want to know that, you know, thank you God for a new day and I'm blessed.

29:07And look what I have.

29:09I have my dog.

29:10I have my health.

29:11I'm alive.

29:12You know, there's a million blessings that all of us have.

29:15Yeah.

29:16I have people who get angry at me because I don't, you know, watch the news.

29:21So I'm like, I'll find out if it's something that is super dramatic and something that I

29:27really absolutely need to know about.

29:29So I will find out there's no reason for me to sit there and program myself.

29:33And it's a program.

29:34Um, and you're programming all of the negativity to fear.

29:39And speaking, speaking of which, when it comes to programming, um, we were speaking about

29:46worthiness and what can people do.

29:50And I want to, we just segwayed into this with the programming neuroplasticity.

29:56That's how I changed my life because I basically cut off all of those things.

30:00If I knew that you were going to make me angry, if I knew that you were going to take

30:04me to

30:04somewhere where I have a mental flashback of something terrible to happen to me as a, as a kid,

30:09I removed those things away, but replaced them with positive, beautiful, wonderful things.

30:15Started to speak affirmations over my life.

30:18Um, whatever somebody said about me that was negative, I turned it around and I changed it.

30:23And then I said, you are, you know, the head and not the tail.

30:26And I just started to speak all of these wonderful things.

30:29So, um, what are some, some methods or some steps or some nuggets that you can give us when

30:36it comes to reprogramming?

30:39Absolutely.

30:40Yeah.

30:40Affirmations are great.

30:42Um, so rewiring the subconscious.

30:47So basically, as you said, from zero to seven, I mean, just to repeat, like under let people

30:52understand our brain is in theta and we're, we're sponges and recorders and we're taking on the

30:58beliefs, the energies and all of the things from our caregivers, all the people around us, society,

31:04all the things.

31:05And we don't know how to discern that this is, or isn't accurate information.

31:09So, um, little things that you can do to rewire is, well, I use EFT, emotional freedom

31:16technique.

31:16I don't know if you're familiar with this, but I actually use EFT.

31:20Um, it's helped me immensely.

31:23Meditation helps people sitting still quieting the mind.

31:28Um, and I love affirmations, but this is something you have to repeat.

31:35There's hypnotherapy.

31:36I mean, there's so many things, there's so many tools and in most of it doesn't cost money

31:41like meditation or EFT, um, tapping.

31:45Um, there's apps and stuff.

31:47Yeah.

31:48Go ahead.

31:48So, so what is EFT?

31:49Because I don't know what that is.

31:51Okay.

31:51So it's emotional freedom technique.

31:53And it's like where you use, um, you start on the side of the hand and you could say something

31:59that's going on.

32:00Like I'm comparing my, like, even though I'm comparing myself to others, I choose to deeply

32:06and completely love and accept myself.

32:09And you tap whatever's going on.

32:12And it's like, even though this person makes me feel this way, or I'm feeling jealous, whatever

32:18it is that's negative, you tap on this.

32:21And then you start with your use.

32:24So then there's some, there's pressure points like acupuncture and you tap on the meridian

32:31points.

32:32So the eye, the side of the eye under the eye, under the nose, the chin here, and then under

32:40the arm and then the top of the head.

32:41So it's, it looks funny, but I'm going to tell you it's powerful.

32:46I mean, there's a coach out there who says she healed her eating disorder with EFT tapping.

32:52Um, there's there it's, it's, I love it.

32:56It's helped me when I had imposter syndrome show up or I felt like I wasn't good enough.

33:02I would just tap and it goes.

33:03Okay.

33:04So for everybody that knows me, so we'll just, I don't know the full step.

33:08So you just tap.

33:10So for instance, if I'm saying, you know what, this person really reminded me of who I was.

33:15And even though I have these thoughts of going upside their head, I choose not to think that

33:20way today.

33:21I choose to think positive and better about the situation.

33:25This person is a loving person instead of all of the names that I just called them five

33:29seconds ago.

33:31Yeah.

33:31Exactly.

33:33Yeah.

33:33Choose love over fear.

33:35These are, so every morning I say a couple of things and one is from Wayne Dyer.

33:40Do you know who that is?

33:41The book is written.

33:42Okay.

33:42Absolutely.

33:42So there's several that I say.

33:45So it's, I am enough.

33:47I choose love over fear in every situation today.

33:51Everything I need is already within me.

33:54I attract what I am, not what I want.

33:58Hmm.

33:58I'm grateful for this day and all its possibilities.

34:04I'm no longer, I, I release the need to control outcomes and trust in the process of

34:08life.

34:09And I'm here to share my gifts with the world.

34:11So seven affirmations.

34:13I say every single day, those they're from his book, Wayne Dyer's book.

34:19Um, I have a morning practice.

34:21I use that journal.

34:22There's so many things I do, but yeah, EFT is part of what I use.

34:26And sometimes, you know, you could tap every day.

34:30You could tap, you know, and moving your body, just going in nature.

34:34I mean, there's a million different things that we can do to calm the nervous system.

34:37Cause we already know that the nervous system stores all the things.

34:41And, you know, um, it's getting, bringing your power back to yourself.

34:48And I love what you said, like you were being real.

34:50Like sometimes somebody reminds you of something, or maybe they say something that's offensive,

34:54but like, you know, you get rooted in your truth and you get rooted in knowing you're worthy

35:00and you're enough and that you're, you just keep doing it.

35:03And over time you are so much more confident and you just know you can do anything.

35:08And I just love, yeah.

35:10That's when I know it's time for me to leave and escape.

35:14That's why I like to vacation and to just remove myself from the environment.

35:17Because sometimes we, okay, so a lot of us, we have to go to work.

35:21We have to deal with, you know, the people on our jobs.

35:25Sometimes we are, you know, stuck with family members that don't think the same way that we think.

35:32Um, because we've done our work, maybe they haven't.

35:35But if you stay long enough and if you don't stay focused on self and get yourself on a routine

35:42to where you can center yourself, you can fall into some traps.

35:47And like you said, the jealousy, the whatever the case may be.

35:52There are some times where I'm like, you know what?

35:54I know that this is a test and I know that the enemy is trying to, you know, play games

36:00in this situation, but I'm bigger than that.

36:02There's no reason why I should be feeling this way after all that I've been through.

36:06No way that I should feel anything about, you know, someone from the outside after all that, you know, I've

36:10been through.

36:11And I'll be honest, there's been some tests and there's been some trials just this year alone.

36:17And, you know, there's there's more tests that are that are going to come.

36:21Right. Well, I would invite you to a couple of things.

36:24One is it's you're a human.

36:29You're still a human.

36:30So you will have human emotions like, you know, and jealousy, like things like that.

36:35But I would invite you to just get really curious.

36:39And there's something called IFS2, which is internal family systems.

36:43Are you familiar?

36:45No.

36:46So it's basically it's a therapy that this Dick Schwartz came up with.

36:50And it's ultimately a part of you feels this way.

36:54Like a part of me is jealous of this person or a part of me feels the way I felt

36:59when I was that old version of Laren.

37:03You know what I mean?

37:03And that's when you just get curious and you're like, OK, maybe it's your 12 year old self that dot

37:12dot dot dot dot.

37:12And you're like reparenting yourself.

37:15So you're like giving your giving yourself.

37:18What do I need right now?

37:19What do I need that's going to call me?

37:21That's going to make me feel better?

37:24This is the interesting situation.

37:26I find more so often that people are jealous of me, but me knowing better.

37:31I try to educate them and let them know how unique and special they are.

37:36But everybody is not on the same page and it's not my responsibility to regulate somebody else's nervous system.

37:43I find it going in a wrong situation.

37:46And I that's when I got to back up because here I am trying to uplift and empower and let

37:50you know that you have your own beautiful things going on.

37:53But it's the evilness.

37:55It's the negativity that that comes my way that if I don't stay spiritually grounded, it could become a problem.

38:04Right. Well, that's it.

38:06And it's just bringing your power back to you and paying attention to your energy and energy management, emotional mastery.

38:14You know, like you're allowed to feel your feelings like that's OK.

38:17Like that's how we heal.

38:19You know, crying is is powerful.

38:21It's how we release what's in there, like moves the energy.

38:23But feel your feelings, but then let it go and come back to, you know, your higher self, your you

38:30know, like you said, you choose.

38:31You always choose.

38:33You have a choice.

38:33Even when you said these people have to go to work.

38:35Yeah, they do. But they don't have to do a job that they hate.

38:38Mm hmm. Yes, that is so true.

38:41And they don't have and they don't have to engage either.

38:45All right. Yeah. Yeah.

38:47I mean, there's so much.

38:49But yeah.

38:52All right.

38:52So I know you got a lot going on.

38:56I think we touched a lot of the spiritual aspect of it.

39:00And I want you to let us know again where you are.

39:06Yeah.

39:07Where you're from, where we can go and, you know, purchase your journal, your podcast.

39:12I want to spend time on that before we move to the next segment.

39:16Sure.

39:17Absolutely.

39:17And I just want to remind your listeners that you asked multiple times how to feel worthy, how to decide

39:24all these things.

39:26You've always been worthy.

39:27It's just remembering.

39:30So I do have a program called Worthy the Remembering Method, and it's only $47 right now.

39:35It's six pillars to feeling more worthy.

39:42And the ultimate, it's remembering.

39:44You're already, you were born worthy.

39:46We were just taught that we weren't worthy.

39:49So like a baby's here, like a baby is a receiver.

39:53All they do is cry and get things.

39:56And a dog, what do they do?

39:57They're just sitting there cute and they get fed and they get taken care of.

40:00It's like we're receivers.

40:02We're all receivers and we are here.

40:05We just have to remember that we're worthy.

40:07So that's really what it is.

40:09Thank you for asking.

40:10So Worthy and Abundant, the podcast is on everywhere, Spotify, Apple, everywhere you listen to podcasts.

40:15There's also some YouTube.

40:17And then Amazon, you can get the journal.

40:21Just Google Linda Brand self-love journal.

40:23There's two different covers.

40:25And you can find me on social media, Linda Brand Coach on Instagram and Worthy and Abundant.

40:34And yeah, so, but if someone listening today is doubting themselves, it's, it's really, you're not behind and you're not

40:42broken.

40:43Everyone's on their own journey.

40:45You don't need to become worthy.

40:46You just need to remember that you are worthy.

40:50You're a child of God.

40:51I know they're spiritual.

40:53You're, you're, you're a child of God.

40:54So God doesn't make junk.

40:58Ain't that the truth.

40:59And you have to remember.

41:02Yeah.

41:03Remember.

41:04That's beautiful.

41:07I'm going to move into a segment that I call burning questions for reflections.

41:12So I'll ask the question and then you can go ahead and let us know.

41:16And for those of you out there who are listening, take some time to reflect as well.

41:22So the burning question that I have is how does your spiritual values influence the financial decisions you make each

41:29day?

41:39Burning question.

41:41So for me, faith influences my financial decisions because it reminds me that money is a tool and it's really

41:51just energy.

41:52And I try to make decisions from peace.

41:56And I try to ask myself if this purchase is aligned with who I'm becoming.

42:04And I basically learned learning to trust yourself is so powerful.

42:13And I just, I'm, I'm rooted in faith and I choose, I make decisions based on, will this purchase, is

42:24it in alignment with who I'm becoming?

42:27Is it the right decision?

42:29And I love to currency.

42:31Money is currency.

42:32It flows.

42:32It comes.

42:32It goes.

42:33Right.

42:34So I love to circulate it.

42:38Right.

42:39And have the belief that when I spend, it comes back.

42:42Absolutely.

42:43So it's circulating and I love to use it to make people smile, like giving a big tip and knowing

42:51it's going to come back and trusting it.

42:54And I've, I've had to work on my money relationship for years and I, it's still, it's, you know.

42:59I know that's right.

43:00I know exactly where you're coming from.

43:02It's because, you know, how we were brought up, what we were, you know, programmed to think and feel about

43:08money.

43:08So absolutely.

43:10But I love when you say that and make sure I, you know, repeat this properly, but you said something

43:17about coming from a place of peace.

43:19That is so powerful and so amazing when it comes to spending money because, you know, thinking back about my

43:27life, a lot of times I was coming from a place of fear.

43:31You're making that purchase, but it's out of fear.

43:34But why were you making it?

43:36Because you wanted to feel a certain way, like, oh, let me buy this to feel like I'm worthy.

43:41Like I'll buy this Louis Vuitton bag so I can feel a certain way, which I don't own any, by

43:47the way, someday I will.

43:48But the point is, like, when we don't feel we're worthy, we are overspending to fill some kind of void.

43:56And we are undercharging for our gifts because, yes, undercharging because we don't feel worthy.

44:04So self-worth grows when we make healthier decisions with money.

44:11And, you know, everybody has I'm not a financial coach.

44:14I know you are. But like everybody has different priorities and what they spend on.

44:19But it's like my health.

44:20I'm always going to spend money on my health because that's so important to me.

44:24And it's a big value that I have.

44:27And, you know, a lot of people are it's all connected.

44:30You know, the worthiness and the money, it's all connected.

44:34All interconnected. Yes.

44:36That's amazing.

44:38Well, I definitely do appreciate you spending time with us today.

44:42Thank you so much for your insight on the burning question.

44:44Thank you so much on just the conversation in general.

44:47You definitely taught me some things and I'm sure people out there are going to pick up, you know, some

44:52nuggets and tips that they can use.

44:54So I'll most certainly start to think about the tapping.

44:57Say it again so I can make sure I have it.

45:00EFT, emotional freedom technique.

45:02Yes.

45:03It's very, yes.

45:05I definitely will definitely use that because I'm going to need that and I need to be suited up as

45:10I go into the next chapter.

45:12So thank you so much for that.

45:14And any last comments or, you know, things that you want to go ahead and leave for everybody out there?

45:21I just want to invite everybody to, like, look in the mirror and say to themselves that they are worthy

45:27and that they are enough.

45:28And that, you know, and if, like, Louise Hay was the original self-love guru person.

45:37And basically, whatever story you're telling, like, tell a better story, right?

45:44You can choose your thoughts.

45:46We are not our thoughts.

45:47We are not our bodies.

45:48We are not our minds.

45:48We are spiritual, energetic beings having this human experience.

45:51And I just invite you to notice the thoughts.

45:55Become the observer of your life.

45:57That's what I tell all my clients.

45:59Like, become the observer of your life.

46:01Like, choose a better feeling thought when the negative thought shows up because we're default is negative.

46:08Like, that's why you and I don't watch the news because the default is already negative.

46:13I don't need extra negative.

46:15Right.

46:16So, yeah.

46:17And, you know, it's just, just know that you can have a better life experience.

46:24You are worthy of it.

46:25And that's what I want to say.

46:28I love that.

46:29I'm definitely going to use that.

46:30Choose a better story.

46:31You have to choose a better story.

46:33I'm going to use that.

46:34So, if you hear me saying that, I got it from Linda, everybody.

46:38Choose a better story.

46:39You got to choose a better story.

46:40Yeah.

46:41And a better thought.

46:42And notice your thoughts and become the observer.

46:44And just realize that you can, you know, these people that had different foundations than you and I.

46:51And were, like, told that they were amazing their whole life.

46:54And they can do anything and have anything.

46:56I mean, there's so many, like, examples of, you know, even how you treat a dog.

47:01I mean, how you treat a child.

47:02Like, it changes everything.

47:05So, that's why I talk about reparenting yourself.

47:07Because if you didn't have that, but you, you know what I mean?

47:11You can do that.

47:12You can be that for yourself.

47:14You did that for yourself, Lauren.

47:16You said you would feed yourself positivity.

47:19And you would keep yourself away from negative, you know what I mean?

47:23So, I did the same thing.

47:26And I'm still doing it.

47:27I'm still on the journey.

47:28I'm not saying come look at me.

47:30I'm saying come with me.

47:31Because we're all on the journey.

47:33I like that.

47:34Yes.

47:34I'm not saying come look at me.

47:35I'm saying come with me.

47:37Because this is a journey.

47:38And it's never ending.

47:39And we're always going to have to overcome something.

47:42Yeah.

47:43I love it.

47:44Yeah.

47:44Don't compare yourself to someone five years ahead of you or five, you know.

47:48And you can help anybody that's two steps or two years behind you.

47:52But, like, don't compare.

47:53You open social.

47:55It's like, oh, look at her and look at me.

47:58It's like, no.

47:59We don't even, none of it's real.

48:01It's whatever they want them to show you.

48:03It's not even real.

48:05Right.

48:05And I say all the time, be very careful.

48:08Because somebody else's journey, you know, please, I hope that nobody wants to, you know,

48:13go through what I went through to get here today.

48:15Because it ain't nice.

48:16It ain't pretty.

48:17You wouldn't want to trust and believe.

48:19I'll let you know what I want you to know.

48:20But there's so much more behind closed doors that you have no idea.

48:24So you don't want this.

48:25So, yeah.

48:27Right.

48:28Amazing.

48:29For sure.

48:30Thank you so much.

48:31I appreciate it.

48:32And this was amazing.

48:34And hopefully we'll, you know, do this thing again.

48:37Sounds great.

48:38Thank you so much.

48:39Take care.

48:40You have a wonderful day.

48:41You too.

49:26And, you know, we'll see what happens in the future.

49:29I'll go on to the Worthy and Abundant Podcast.

49:31Most certainly I could use some positive reinforcement here.

49:38So now we have a great week.

49:40We have a great week broadcasting live from Las Vegas.

49:46I'm here for the Mary J. Blige residency and I'm going to continuously bring up the Mary J. Blige songs

49:55because they are a good positive, you know, soundtrack to my life.

50:00And I'm going to take the positive aspect of it because, you know, in life there can be some negative.

50:08But I'm going to take the positive side and show you these records, these songs, how they help shape and

50:15how they help change and move my life in a different direction.

50:19So we have more guests, more special guests coming on.

50:23So stick around all week.

50:24We'll be here broadcasting live at 5 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.

50:31So go ahead and set your alarms, set your reminders, new episodes, new guests all week.

50:40Now, I do want to say if there is anything that you heard today that sparked some sort of interest

50:47in you, gave you a little aha moment, anything that you want to learn when it comes to financial wellness.

50:56I am a financial coach.

50:57I focus on debt free living from spiritual, mental, physical and financial wellness.

51:05So today we focus more on a spiritual side.

51:08I believe that it is all interconnected.

51:11If you focus on getting your spiritual, if you focus on getting your spiritual lens together.

51:19I believe this is just my journey and how I focused on it.

51:22Then from there, I went to the mental aspect.

51:25I needed to understand and learn who I was first.

51:27I had to connect with who I am.

51:30So I focused on a spiritual aspect first.

51:33From there, you know, see how it's all interconnected.

51:37From there, I went into the mental aspect.

51:38A lot of things that Linda and I spoke about today that, you know, helped me shape my mental aspect.

51:46Reprogramming myself, thinking back, realizing the mistakes that I was making when it comes to how I thought and how

51:54I felt about money.

51:55Deleting those and replacing them with positive.

51:59After I did that, layering on the spiritual, the mental, then the physical aspect.

52:06How I showed up in the world.

52:08How I started to spend my money.

52:10Linda spoke about that.

52:11How I started to feel as I was spending the money.

52:15Was it from a place of peace?

52:17That's a beautiful, powerful situation right there.

52:20Did it come from a place of fear?

52:23When I started to spend and show up and make decisions about money in a physical realm, it just became

52:29that much easier because I did the work spiritually.

52:32I did the work mentally.

52:34And then in the physical realm, I was showing up more powerful than ever when it comes to money.

52:41I started to look around and say, oh, my goodness, I have money.

52:44Now I don't need to fear about this.

52:46And I'm doing the right things with my money in a physical realm.

52:49So I don't need to fear.

52:50Fear has been deleted.

52:52And I started to think in a better place.

52:55And then it all started to come back.

52:59Now, after you go through the spiritual, after you go through the mental, after you go through the physical.

53:05There is no coincidence that when you open up your bank account.

53:10You are not coming from a place of fear.

53:13You're coming from a place of abundance.

53:15You're not coming from a place of scarcity.

53:17The financial aspects just get so much better.

53:21It gets so much better and it's so much easier for you to maneuver and make financial decisions.

53:28I could go on and on and on and on.

53:30Linda brought up so many great tips.

53:33Is this purchase aligning with the person who I am becoming?

53:37That is amazing right there.

53:40Amazing.

53:41If you heard anything that sparked an interest in you, a light bulb went off.

53:46You had that aha moment.

53:48I want to learn more.

53:50Again, I can help when it comes to people who are ready for it.

53:55If you're ready.

53:56If you've hit your financial rock bottom.

53:57Maybe you have not hit your financial rock bottom.

53:59Maybe you just want to maneuver and do things a little bit different with money.
