Episode #47: Welcome to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria, thank you so much for joining me. I’m excited because I have Elizabeth Hoekstra on the show and we had a conversation that I think you’re going to really enjoy. A little bit about Elizabeth is that she started off in the entertainment industry and she was a model and she was in music, videos and movies and magazines. That’s so awesome. And she has now the director of operations for the worldwide brand and TV network for bidden knowledge, Inc. She’s also helping to organize and grow for Ben knowledge, Inc. Mainstream, all the hosting, her podcast, Biohack Your Best Life alongside president CEO of forbidden knowledge. Billy Carson, you should go check that out. It’s pretty awesome. And Elizabeth its most recent accomplishments have been writing her first book, The Recipe to Elevated Consciousness, which quickly became a bestseller.

Ready? Let’s go…

SHOWNOTES:

• You know, basically my life, it started out as a little bit traumatic, not consciously though, which is really what messed me up for the rest of my life. So I was adopted. And just that alone really created trauma and issues in my life, but I couldn’t consciously connect those memories with a feeling with an emotion within myself, because I didn’t consciously remember. As a baby, you got taken away, and then, you know, you were monitored. You weren’t really, you know, loved on for the first couple of months. So I had to figure all of this out through my shadow work that wow, I really started out this life in a traumatic way because I started out, you know, having these abandonment issues. (02:30)

• So I was still trying to self-soothe through drugs and alcohol throughout all of this, even though, you know, I was so successful on the outside, like winning awards and living this extravagant career life as a business person. You know, but I was still inwardly, I was hurting really. When I left the real estate industry and joined, I became a president to a mental health gym. That’s really when I dove into biohacking. I had already experimented along my journey with a little bit of biohacking here and there, but I was using it in a negative way. To try to bring my brain back from the parties. After, you know, a whole night of drinking and drugs, I would use bio-hacking tools to sharpen myself back up. (06:05)

• If you’re being chased by a lion, boom, your body will go into fight or flight, you’ll be able to pick up and run fast because the blood is going to your extremities. You know, your pupils dilate, so you can take in more and you’re basically just running away from a threat. The problem is these days is that people are stuck like that, their bodies are stuck in that response. So now it’s impossible to basically heal yourself because your gut completely shuts down when you’re in fight or flight. So if you’re eating and you’re in fight or flight, you’re not absorbing that nutrition, you’re not taking really anything from that meal that you’re eating. You’re not thinking consciously you lose 30% brain capacity when you’re in fight or flight. (13:27)

• You know, you can really tell the people that have done the work, done the deep shadow work. Because they’ll literally come from a place of no judgment. It’s very difficult for me now to really be angry at people because I understand where that comes from, you know, even the trolls and these people, these haters. I just, honestly, I feel kind of bad for them because their pain runs so deep that they have to express it outwardly to other people, and that’s deep pain within itself. Because if you’ve done the work and you’ve addressed your issues, you can’t really spit that negativity upon other things. It’s almost impossible because you don’t have it inside of you. Wayne Dyer says the best, What happens when you squeeze an orange, orange juice comes out, what happens when you squeeze a lemon? Lemon juice comes out. What happens when you squeeze yourself? (20:50)

Episode #46: Welcome to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria, thank you so much for joining me. Today I am so happy to welcome on the show Jody Colvard. Jody is the CEO of FMG Network and Podcast School. It is because of Jody that I have this podcast and I am excited to share her wisdom on the power of your voice.

Ready? Let’s go…

SHOWNOTES:

• First off, I’ve been in this business since… Well, I’ve been on the internet since 1994, and I’ve worked early on creating businesses, so in 2004, I started teaching podcasting, and prior to that, I helped people get into TV shows, radio, things like that, and there was so many people that had something that they desperately wanted to share. But there was such a limited amount of space. When you try to go into television or movies or anything like that, there are not a lot of spots available, it’s like everybody was clamoring to get there. But then when I saw the internet, it’s kind of opened up and there’s this opportunity for everybody to have a place to speak… To share the message. Their truth. So one of the things that I did was I created FMG Radio and Podcasting Network, and that was in 2004, the first time I created it, and started really bringing in people to really hone in what their message was and find that true power within themselves to be able to share that. (02:46)

•   When you think about when you’re speaking to people through your podcast, that’s what you’re doing is like the tonality of your voice, the resonance, how you’re speaking to people, when you have that confidence in your voice. That way when you’re talking to people, they actually are picking up your energy… We’re all intertwined energetically. Everybody in this universe is intertwined, we’re able to be fed information. When Einstein talked about relativity, and he would talk about black holes, a lot of it was a theory before, but now they know it’s true, and then they start looking at electro-magnetics. Electromagnetic waves is what causes that interconnection between all human beings and actually every object, everything in the universe. But what they found is around the edges of the black holes runs this electromagnetic waves, and so it’s interconnected. So, think about how every soul, every being, every plant, everything is connected, throughout the whole universe. (06:39)

• What you’re talking about is emotion, every cell of your body has vibrational energy within the cell, and so when you have things that have happened to you, like trauma, things that traps that emotion into each cell, the vibration of your voice will be different. So once you open up the trauma, that emotion, and release it, your voice will actually change. When I was younger, my oldest son, he passed away, and my voice changed automatic, it just got really deep, like a man. And I’d go to the doctor and they were like, I don’t know what’s wrong with you, my voice was just like a man’s voice. But my emotions, it triggered something in the vibration of my body because when you speak, it comes up your larynx, you have these vocal cords, they vibrate to be able to have the sound come out. So when the vibration of my body changed, the vibration and my vocal cords changed, which then changed my voice. Once I was able to kind of go through the emotions and clear a lot of that out, and my voice came back to normal. (11:17)

•  Because when you’re sitting there thinking, what does this person want to hear? It’s not what you’re saying, it’s the intention behind what you’re saying. So what’s your intention? I think that you need to look at that first. When you start putting your message out there and you have that intention in mind, and you think about these people that you want to connect with, and it’s like, what is it that you want to help transform for them? (16:01)

Episode #45: Welcome to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria, thank you so much for joining me. Today I’m excited because I want to share with you my five ways to shift that sh*t. I originally created this as a free gift for leaving me a five star review on Apple podcast, if you haven’t done that and you feel guided to do that, I would really appreciate it. I decided that I wanted to just share this with you because I think it’s an important message to help you, to maybe have some different ideas or guidance, on how to shift your negative thoughts or shift any kind of thoughts that you’re having that go against where you want your future, or where you want your present moment to be. I’m constantly have to work on shifting my thoughts that come in, because sometimes your thoughts are not your thoughts, although you may think they are, they’re not… They’re your subconscious programming, and we can rewrite that. So, if you’re ready, take a listen and start learning how to shift it and change your reality.

Let’s go…

SHOWNOTES:

•  Number One: You have to actually decide to shift the sh*t right? Enough is enough in the cycle, because if you don’t like where you’re at, then change it. Decide that you’re actually going to take the action to change it… Because if you don’t, then you’re not going to ever change, and that’s just the reality of it. If you can’t make the decision to actually change, then you’re not going to change, and that’s really not what you want. So, dig deep and realize that you want to change, to make the decision.  (02:07) 

•  Number Two: Tell me what you want, what you really, really want. So, you actually need to know at this point. Make a decision, know what you want, and focus on what you want.  That may take a little bit of time to work on yourself to figure out what you really want.  (02:54) 

•  Number Three: Pause, observe and redirect. So if you’re finding yourself trying to focus on what you want, and then you start to become aware like you’re having negative thoughts, or you’re saying you can’t do something, or having negative self-talk, you’re saying something that goes against what you want. To see what you’re wanting to focus on, then pause, stop yourself, observe it, become aware of what you’re saying and doing, and then redirect yourself. Because you know, it’s going to happen, especially in the beginning, you’re going to find yourself drifting to that old programming. But that’s what we’re learning to do, or learning to shift that sh*t, so it doesn’t keep happening.  So, you’re going to pause, observe and redirect. Then you’re going to commit. (03:22) 

•  Number Four:  Committing to daily discipline. To commit to daily discipline, to actually take that step to shift, and that’s where it becomes a habit. All of a sudden, it’s going to shift where you’re having more of what you’re focusing on.  I know you can do that daily discipline, commit to it, to becoming a disciple to yourself, becoming discipline. And form a new habit. (04:17)

•  Number Five:  Stay in the present moment. Be intentional on that. That’s what happens when you pause, you kind of stop yourself and you observe, you actually do take yourself back to the present moment. So just know that you have the power to choose that, and you have the power to choose that now. You can take your power back, and it’s something that you have to do every day.  So, every day, remember that you can do these. Number One – Decide. Number Two – Know. Number Three – Pause. Number Five: Stay Present. Know the direction that you want to take your life and know that you have the power to create your reality. You’ve got this, I believe in you. Now go believe in yourself.

Episode #44: Welcome to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria, thank you so much for joining me. Today I am so excited because I’m bringing back my bestie Richele Batt to talk about red flags in dating and relationships. We talk about addressing the issues that you know are there, and then when they come up, seeing what the response from the other person is, and if it gets addressed by them. If they care to change something, or maybe if you’re just not a match, and trusting your intuition, yourself and your gut feeling.

Ready? Listen in…

SHOWNOTES:

•  Yeah, and so it’s about loving yourself enough to know your value and to leave your situation when you know it’s not good for you, or not getting into a situation that you know is a huge red flag. There’s a couple of funny memes that I’ve seen that are hilarious one is perfect for Valentine’s day, because this guy is holding a dozen red flags and she goes, ‘Oh a dozen red flags, I love him so much’, and then there’s another one where he says ‘Good morning beautiful’. And she says, ‘Take me off rotation’.  (8:05)

•  When that happens, I think is a very important to know what to do. So I think a lot of times people don’t do anything because they don’t know what to do, they either cut bait and go or they don’t do anything. So I think the important thing is to tell people what do you do at that point. Well, that’s where communication skills come in, you have to know how to open your mouth and speak. And you know what? It may be a little scary to communicate with someone, especially someone you only just started knowing. I’m like, Listen, first of all, you have to have healthy boundaries. And you have to know what those are. If your boundary is, I need to be respected, like say someone stood you up on a date or something like that. That’s probably a boundary. You carve out your time for that person, they decide the last minute they’re not going or something, and they act like it’s no big deal, that’s a red flag. And it’s something that needs to be addressed now. (12:40)

•  There’s so much integrity in realizing, Okay, we’re not a match. I tell people, ‘You’re not dating to make it a match, you’re dating to see if it is one, and so even when you go through break ups and such, and I’ve had episodes about breakups, sometimes you complete a relationship and it’s about the two people realizing, Okay, this is not working, this is not going to be… We’re not compatible for whatever reason, and sometimes they’re very difficult. But as long as you do look and realize, Okay, there’s lessons to be learned from here in this relationship, and you take those to heart and you go on in the future and say, Okay, now I know what I need and what I want, and hopefully the other person does too, and you help each other grow… What is better than that? I mean, that’s what we all want to do. So you’re not forcing it to be a match… I think some people get in a relationship and think I have to make this work, I have to… I have to… And they’re just like, beating their head against the wall. What’s the point of that?  (19:33)

•   I was married for 20 years and you were married for a long time, we have an our story from it, right? We have our experience from it, so do our spouses are ex’s. They have their story and what they learned from it, neither is wrong or right to be honest. It’s what we both needed. But whenever I was married, my life felt like, my soul that like, I was like dead. So I felt like my life was being sucked out of me, and I don’t blame that on my ex, it’s just the relationship wasn’t meant to continue. He didn’t suck the life out of me, it was the relationship that was no longer serving me…or him. And so I had to make the decision, I had to be strong enough and listen to that gut feeling, listen to my inner voice saying, ‘You are not supposed to be here anymore, get out. (22:44)

Episode 43: Welcome back to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria. I’m so excited that you’re here with me today as I share part 2 of my series interviewing my long time friend Dustin Strong, talking about digestion and the food we eat. Dustin is a Chief Clinician and Owner of Strong on Health, a private holistic health and wellness center in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. Ready? Listen in…

SHOWNOTES:

•  Now, when we get into things like depression, it’s helpful to go and look at the biggest, most common things that are happening in our country and the way that people are struggling with digesting protein… I know that sounds weird to go, Wait a minute, you talk about the depression and you’re taking about digesting proteins, but why it’s important is all of those happy hormones that all the medications they’re trying to act upon? They’re trying to act upon serotonin, trying to act upon dopamine, they’re trying to act upon norepinephrine, and they’re trying to keep these happy hormones artificially high in the brain. Well, one of the questions for me, to them is, Why do we need to artificially keep them? Hey, why don’t you have an ample amount of those in the first place? And that’s why people need to understand that those are derived from essential amino acids. (03:07)

•  Okay, so how do you fix it is your question. There’s different tools out there to do that, a lot of it is lifestyle changes, eating smaller amounts, making sure, of course, you’re chewing your food, really chew your food, not drinking too much water with your meal, because that will dilute the stomach acid, making sure that you have enough zinc, because zinc is required for stomach acid production, so you can do a zinc test… In our clinic, we have a taste test, so you can take something zinc sulfate and you hold it in your mouth, and what you taste kind of helps determine whether you have appropriate levels of zinc in your body. Yeah, and fasting is actually a really good way to help heal your digestive system as well, because we’re constantly… We have this unconscious faith that anything we put into our mouth is just going to be magically turned into all the nutrients that we need to sustain life, and it doesn’t work that way. (09:04)

•  It’s a limiting belief, and that happens. And it happens in all kinds of situations, right? Like a kid tries to do something nice for their parent and the parent was in a bad mood that day, and when they made this great gift and they present it to the parent… The parent was like, Whatever, I don’t want that right now. That left an impression on that kid, that giving gifts to people is bad, right? So, now we’ve got to figure out, Wait a minute, that was just a one tiny little situation, but it impacted you because you were young and impressionable, now we’re going to balance it out. (18:57)

•  One of my healthcare heroes always says that justice and health includes access to and knowledge of all the options, and I don’t think number one, that people definitely have the knowledge of the options, and that’s my mission to get out there and then they access… Not just access and the means of they have McDonalds, but then there’s also a store right there next to it that has a healthy option, but access through their community. If their community is setting up mental barriers to keep them from having access to a belief that’s gonna get them healthier. We have a situation where we have more drive-through restaurants and fasted restaurants than we know what to do with. Exactly. So, I guess we just have to keep sharing our message and be bringing education and awareness.  (23:22)

Episode 42: Welcome back to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria. I’m so excited that you’re here with me today as I share part 1 of my 2 part series interviewing my long time friend Dustin Strong, a Chief Clinician and Owner of Strong on Health, a private holistic health and wellness center in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX.

Listen in…

SHOWNOTES:

•  You were talking about love before we jump on and recorded, and I was thinking about that, the fact that… What I love about it is when you love something or some person, you benefit from it because you get to feel the love, right? That’s sure. They might get it, they might be benefiting from it, but because you’re putting yourself in that position where you’re getting to feel it, you’re winning already. That’s the best thing about love…I agree, love is a very good thing to feel. (04:07)

•  When you start thinking about what you were and you see it from a fresh perspective, it’s so hard to look back because you want to help that person you know, because you  know what you know now, and you think, Oh man, they struggled through so many things and yes, it was a period of my life. I was transitioning, I think, between elementary school and middle school, and I gained a ton of weight over the course of a winter, eating a lot of sugar, and I didn’t even realize. I guess it hadn’t happened until I went back to school and we were in a bit of a gym class situation where we had to run down to the certain pole and run back and remember running and being passed by who I thought was the kid who was overweight in class, and he passed me like I was sitting still. And then it was just this big moment where I kind of looked down and realized that I was the big kid, I was the fat kid in school. (06:05)

•  The interesting thing about nutrition in general is it’s a young science, so we’re still kind of discovering and understanding as we go, all these pieces, and I’m always trying to distill things down to irrefutable facts, because it’s one thing to know it for yourself, to have that experience and know that sugar is no longer a part of my life because it doesn’t do anything for me. It may do a small thing for me, but the cost to me is so much greater than the benefit. But to help somebody else understand that’s the journey of that, that’s so hard sometimes because you have to understand where somebody’s coming from, you have to figure out why would they be interested in hearing this in the first place, what do they want to solve? How can I communicate this to them? And so I find this with all the different things, every new little pearl, every new little secret that I find I want to share with people. (10:50)

•  Here’s where I always want  to make a point about placebo, if you can get some placebo effect in line with something that’s truly healing, somebody will do it, right? Why wouldn’t you use that power… We don’t want to think, Oh, it’s just a placebo? Well, yeah, it is, but it works. So that’s what I love about nutrition and education, so when I found out that, there’s a Dr. Walsh, and in his books here behind me on the wall, because I give it to almost anybody who has depression. He looked at this for 35 years, he looked at 30,000 different individuals who suffered from depression and anxiety, and he looked at millions of labs, and by far, he said, the most common biochemical problem we found is a zinc deficiency, so who would think?  No one would think, Oh, I’m depressed, maybe I need more zinc.

Episode 41: Welcome back to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria. I’m so excited that you’re here with me today as I welcome back my dear friend Stasia Bliss to help us welcome in 2022 as our authentic selves.

Ready? Let’s go…

SHOWNOTES:

•  And I think it’s part of the process too. We have to learn to identify ourselves in our environment, but then as we grow up, we start to realize a lot of those programming, they aren’t what we were truly brought here to express, so we do this process of peeling a lot of that off to reveal who we really are. Yeah, and I think that that’s really cool because that is what we’re here to do is just to discover that truth. But some people never do. And I think that that’s why you and I are here to help people awaken to the truth.  (02:14)

•  If you did that in your career and in your relationship and in your personal growth, how does that feel? Yeah, I think that that is a lot to process because you can look at your last year and have a lot of regrets and hate yourself, and that’s not good. But maybe just look back at it and be like, What could I do now? That would make fulfillment better. But like you said, Love what you already did, love the whole last year, and just know that this year is going to be just another part of your development, opening up and flowering. Like you said, and discovering that authentic self.  (06:26)

•  And I guess for some people, maybe they just want to keep doing the same thing every day, all day, and maybe that’s what their mission is, to do in their experience. But then for the other people that are having a longing, they really seek more and desire more. Yeah, mix it up a little bit. I started doing that more last year, and it does really make a difference, you’re like, Oh, I didn’t even know I’d like to do that, and… Oh wow, I didn’t even know that existed. That reminds me of what you focus on, you really do see, it’s so cool because that can be with everything. Definitely, and some people really do love where they’re at, people are really living with the thing they have set up, and I have all the honor in the world for that, that’s a beautiful place to be in. And for some people, it lasts a really long time, and some people, that’s a fleeting experience. And so I think that’s a beautiful thing to cherish too, but yeah, if you are on a journey of, Hey, I want to do something different, or I need some change in my life or I have been in repeating patterns, there’s just a lot out there. Like I said, just bring the curiosity along and go on a journey of synchronicity.  (09:50)

•  If one thing’s going to go up, something else is going to go down. So to prepare for that, by being okay with those helpless moments for a minute and trying to reap their beauty too. Exactly, yeah, because when I say no pain, no gain, and you really do fall to your knees to rise back up, right? And so I totally agree with that. You got to kinda break that all down and get pushed, and then rise up again, and then maybe fall down again and rise up because your just learning to walk again, right? Well, my favorite thing that I feel that people don’t realize in this world, you and I have talked about this, is that the heart muscle is just like any muscle, if we want to grow it strong, we have to be willing to do the exercises of love and expansion, and also the pain of the heartbreak. That’s just like the pain of… If you’re doing weights every day, you actually rip those muscles in order to grow them, in order to make them stronger and longer, and by using our heart muscle in our life and really putting our hearts into what we do, whether it’s a person in a relationship or a job, or our workout. And if something fails, or we get hurt, that’s also part of the growth, we actually are sort of wanting to grow in that way, and I know that’s a tricky one for some people, like I don’t want a heartache, but in a way we do.  (13:34)

Episode 40: Welcome back to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria. Happy New Year to you! I hope you’re excited for all the great and wonderful things that are going to unfold into your life this year. Today I want to talk to you about finding the real you by tapping into your true heart’s desire and believing that you can actually get to that place you want to be. But first, you have to unlearn all of the things that you were taught, that’s why it’s so important to go down the path of self-discovery and not just accepting who you are, but who you think you are. The cool thing is that thoughts and beliefs matter because they create matter and that creates your reality.

Ready to go down the rabbit hole? Let’s go…

SHOWNOTES:

•  I mean, if you go around eating crap food and junk food and foods that aren’t very nourishing to your body, then you do gain weight. You become how you feel, you become what you’re eating… I say how you feel, because maybe you don’t feel that great about yourself, so you’re eating things that aren’t so great for you. Your choices that you make outwardly reflect how you feel about yourself inwardly. So mind yourself, be careful what you eat. Obviously, we all know that. Why don’t we make choices to feel like crap? Because we don’t feel good, right? So what do you need to do? You need to work on yourself, you need to start finding ways that you feel good about yourself, find ways that you can love yourself. And the more you love yourself, the more you’re going to become aware of taking care of yourself. (03:34) 

•   So we get to choose, you get to choose, I get to choose what we see, because guess what? The power is within you to decide, you can change it all, to have it all. And what I always like to talk about too is that ignorance is not bliss, and knowledge is power. Because whenever you are becoming aware, that’s key, that’s key to waking up to find that power within. But if you don’t decide to become disciplined to discover yourself, then you’re just going to stay in the same spot that you are in right now. And if you’re in a good spot, that’s awesome, but you can always rise higher, right? We’re here to just keep a ascending, to keep rising up, keep it coming, our best version. And everything that we go through each day that can ignite us, can shift us, can take us down that path to become that true, wonderful higher person. (06:00) 

•  We were not taught this, we were not taught this in school as children. And now a lot of people are discovering this truth, and I think that’s super cool that we’re living in this time where people are realizing that we’re creating all this stuff, we’re creating all this chaos too, because we have chaos within us. And also to push us to wake up, to awaken to the truth. So, the thing is that we can all change everything together, if we would just realize that it all comes from within and that what we imagine creates the images in our actual world that we’re in right now together. So if we can imagine what we truly want, know what’s in our heart, tap into what’s in your true hearts desire, connect to God, connect to source, feel that, know it, believe it, connect those two. Then we are going to project it into our reality together. (09:53) 

•  Let go of that old programming sh*t, because it’s just not who you’re meant to be. If you’re suffering, if you’re not living your true purpose, if you’re not enjoying the moment, if you’re not in the now, if you’re not doing any of that stuff and you don’t know what you’re capable of, please go down the path of self-discovery, Ask and you shall receive, right? Ask for guidance, ask for doors to be open, ask to show you the way. Okay, you will be guided. Believe and let go and ask and receive, and let’s change it all to have it all. (11:26)

Episode #39: Welcome to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria, thank you so much for joining me. Today I am so excited to share a different kind of episode. While visiting my family over Thanksgiving, I dropped by my bestie Richele Batt’s house to do a little impromptu episode direct from her amazing closet, the inspiration for her podcast the Coaching Closet. Join us as we share a little humor, coaching magic and soulful talk.

Ready? Listen in…

SHOWNOTES:

• I love so many things, I love being in this closet for one thing. So fashion is one of my things, and that’s what inspired me to create the Coaching Closet. When I was going through coaching certification because, well, for one thing, I shared an office with my love and he works out of our home too, and I was like, that’s not going to work when I’m doing one-on-one coaching with people and get into some pretty serious topics. And they don’t want to be talking about that in front of somebody else. Yeah and he just chimes in and says, can I offer you some advise? And there like, who’s that? And you say, I don’t know, some random dude that’s in my office. So I was like, Well, this is my favorite room in the whole house anyway.(3:05)

• That’s good that you recognize it. I do, it’s all about awareness and recognizing there’s a problem. Yeah, I had to do that when I had to get readers, accept that my eyes were no longer perfect and I had to get readers and that was really quite… It’s still challenging. You accept it, I had to get trifocals. So yeah. It’s alright, I got cute ones. As long as you get cute ones and you rock it, you accept that it’s going on and you just rock it out the best of your ability, then you’re good. Yeah, I can do without, but I obviously see so much better with them. Yeah, definitely, it’s like Christmas miracle. (10:22)

• Okay, so speaking of shopping, like who’s doing Black Friday? There was Black Friday all week, there’s today’s small business Saturday, and then Monday is Cyber Monday. Well, this is probably going to broadcast later, but that’s when we’re recording it. I mean people are going crazy with their sales. They are, it’s like… They have them all the time now. It was pre-Black Friday all week, and I got some really good deals before Thanksgiving. I was like, Wow, this is amazing, so I got a lot of Christmas shopping done. And if you want something, you can get a really good deals. (22:42)

• I was talking about how Victoria is one of those friends I ask for advice, and she doesn’t always tell me what I want to hear, she sometimes is like, Wow, what about the other person? Or what about when I ask relationship advice? And so that’s a good thing because it helps me self-reflect and see my part and then see that person’s perspective, and that’s what we all need to do in our relationships. See what is our part, and what I say in coaching is, What’s your 3%? And that’s really the only way we can change the world, a lot of times recently, I was just talking about this with my family, people like to point the finger and other people, and they’re really accusatory, and that just doesn’t get us anywhere. We want to change the world, we need to look at ourselves first, like what can we do to help community? To change our world? To change your communities? It starts with this and our little fear of influence and then rippling out, it’s a ripple effect, but it has to start with you. (29:08)

Episode 38: Welcome back to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria. On today’s episode today I wanted you to know that because Thanksgiving’s next week and we’re full of gratitude this month, we should be full of gratitude every day, every month. Right? And so I just wanted to make sure that I told you, thank you, especially in the month of November. Thank you for tuning in with me. My goal is to inspire you to go out and change the world, for you to be grateful and thankful for all life’s experiences. In this lifetime, this precious life that you have, this is it. This is your lifetime right now in this human form, whatever you chose to happen this time around, this is it. So, what are you going to do with your life?

SHOWNOTES:

• And I know that that can happen because when you don’t have the eyes to see the good and the bad, then you will not appreciate it. But honestly, when things happen to us that are not that great, it actually pushes us to become great, right? It pushes us to be our best. I don’t know about you, but when somebody comes into my life or an experience comes into my life, I might get like upset or depressed or something like that might happen. But then man, it just ignites me. Like it puts that flame inside of me. And sometimes you need to cry. Sometimes you need to have that emotion from inside of you, to push you. And it just fuels your fire, right? To appreciate that when you have those encounters of people that trigger you or people that push you, that’s good. I may not feel that great in the moment, but it’s a good thing. It’s a really good thing. Especially if you become aware that that’s what’s happening, that this person came into your life, or this experience came into your life in order for you to see the direction you need to go to get pushed into becoming your best version. (03:47)

• You know, I love Rumi and so I’m going to read it to you. It says gratitude is wine for the soul. Go ahead and get drunk. I just think that’s kind of cool because I think we should get so drunk that you see the good and everything that comes to you. You know what I mean? Like get so drunk with gratitude. Think about like you’re grateful for your home that you have, no matter what it is, you know, be grateful for the car that you drive, be grateful for your job. Be grateful for your family. Be grateful. If you have water to drink, be grateful for all the little things. Be grateful for the air that you breathe. Be grateful for the eyes that you can see with. If you have eyes to see with, if you have ears to hear with, be grateful for that, be grateful for your mind. Be grateful for your thoughts. Be grateful for everything that comes into your life. (04:36) 

• When you think about it, you’re like, why is this person in my life? All they do is cause me chaos, but they’re not. They’re bringing out the best in you. So be like, what am I learning from this? They’re just playing their role. They’re playing their role. They’re playing their part to push yourself, to get up and do what you came here to do, you know what I mean? And so just appreciate it. I’ll be like, man, you’re really pushing me. You are pushing me. You are pushing me to rise the up. Right? So my message today is to just be grateful and thankful. And the more that you become grateful and thankful, even though you think your life sucks, or you think that you don’t have everything that you should right now in this moment, shift that and you realize that you do have exactly what you need right now. (05:51) 

• I get to help people in my job. I get to provide for my daughters. I get to be out in the world, having experiences. I get to meet all kinds of people. And you know, for that, I’m grateful. Am I running around all the time with no time? Yes I am. But I’m still thankful for it. I’m thankful because I know that I’m in the place that I’m supposed to be because I followed my bliss. I followed what ignited me, although it’s not exactly the most perfect situation. I’m still finding gratitude in it. And I’m still finding joy in my heart for it. And I’m just so full of joy right now. I’m so full for all things that are coming into my life and it doesn’t always stay there. But, I feel like I could just explode sometimes because I get so joyful and I get so connected to that power. (08:54)
