Episode #52 Part 1 - Finding Our Universal Team: An Interview With Brianne DiDino

Intro: 00:00:00

Welcome to the podcast where relationships, confidence, and

Intro: 00:00:03

determination, all converge into an amazing, heartfelt experience.

Intro: 00:00:08

This is Speaking From The Heart.

Joshua: 00:00:11

Welcome back to episode number 52 of Speaking From the Heart, and

Joshua: 00:00:15

this is going to be another two part episode, which I was really excited and

Joshua: 00:00:21

just an emotional mess even before we even started recording this episode,

Joshua: 00:00:26

and I think that you were going to see probably the most riveting interviews

Joshua: 00:00:30

that I have ever done when it comes to just digging into the soul of a person.

Joshua: 00:00:36

Now for this episode, I must put a warning in that we do talk about suicidal

Joshua: 00:00:40

tendencies and about how those things have been triggers for a lot of what

Joshua: 00:00:45

our guest has been through, and I even mentioned some of the things that I've

Joshua: 00:00:48

been through as well, so if those are things that do trigger you, please stop

Joshua: 00:00:53

listening to this episode, although, for those that are struggling, I really

Joshua: 00:00:57

encourage you to listen to this because maybe that is the threshold that allows

Joshua: 00:01:01

you to get over what you're going through.

Joshua: 00:01:04

Let's introduce Brianne DiDino, who was my guest, and she is the owner

Joshua: 00:01:09

and founder of Beyond Grounded.

Joshua: 00:01:12

Her years as a medical laboratory scientist enhanced her troubleshooting

Joshua: 00:01:16

abilities, however, adversities throughout her life propelled her

Joshua: 00:01:21

forward learning more about compassion, connectedness and powerful purpose.

Joshua: 00:01:26

She embraces being highly intuitive and loves highlighting this gift

Joshua: 00:01:30

for others, which we talk a lot about in over these two parts.

Joshua: 00:01:35

Her passion of being an intuitive life coach, author, and speaker came alive

Joshua: 00:01:40

after those many years of hardships and during these times she learned the

Joshua: 00:01:45

importance of how your painful moments become your best friend and guiding light.

Joshua: 00:01:50

She firmly believes that understanding the influences and value in life give

Joshua: 00:01:54

the power to create the future that you dream about, and by using her coaching,

Joshua: 00:01:59

along with other methods, it helps empower individuals explore and transform

Joshua: 00:02:04

experience-based benefits and beliefs to create a more authentic, fulfilling life.

Joshua: 00:02:12

Now I have to say, there have been many people over these last several months

Joshua: 00:02:16

since I started this podcast that I have even mentioned have been some of the

Joshua: 00:02:21

most authentic creatures of this world.

Joshua: 00:02:24

Brianne saw through everything that I have been through, a very broken person,

Joshua: 00:02:29

mind you, before I even became a coach myself, and was able to unlock some of

Joshua: 00:02:33

the things that, even for myself, I'm still sitting here in awe and wonder even

Joshua: 00:02:39

after it's been a long time, even after all these experiences have happened in

Joshua: 00:02:43

my life, and still thinking about what I could potentially do to become some

Joshua: 00:02:48

of the best versions of even myself, and I think that this riveting interview

Joshua: 00:02:54

takes shape of what is really necessary.

Joshua: 00:02:57

Not only the people that we have around us, but also how we overcome some of

Joshua: 00:03:02

the most biggest frustrations that we ever have, and in part one, we dig into

Joshua: 00:03:07

a little bit of that and so much more.

Joshua: 00:03:09

But with that, let's go to the episode.

Joshua: 00:03:12

All right.

Joshua: 00:03:13

We're here with Brian DiDino.

Joshua: 00:03:15

Brianne, thanks for sharing your heart with us today.

Brianne: 00:03:18

Hi, Josh.

Brianne: 00:03:19

Thanks for having me.

Joshua: 00:03:20

Yes, thank you, and I have to say to my audience before I even hit

Joshua: 00:03:25

the record button, I had a out of body experience with Brianne and just opening

Joshua: 00:03:30

up with her and, Brianne, I let the audience know a lot about you before we

Joshua: 00:03:36

even started with your bio, which has been really impressive, because I don't think

Joshua: 00:03:41

I've ever had anybody on the show yet that has turned from a medical laboratory

Joshua: 00:03:48

scientist into what you do now as a spiritual life coach, so I'm just really

Joshua: 00:03:55

fascinated by how you even got to being a medical scientist to start out with.

Joshua: 00:04:03

Can you start with that?

Brianne: 00:04:04

Okay.

Brianne: 00:04:04

Well, as most people, we all have experiences that kind of guide us, and

Brianne: 00:04:10

when I was 18, I was diagnosed with ITP, which is an autoimmune disorder

Brianne: 00:04:16

where my spleen killed my own platelets.

Brianne: 00:04:19

When I was younger, I always thought that I would be a lawyer or pretty much

Brianne: 00:04:22

I thought I'd be a lawyer, a highly analytical, very much about digging

Brianne: 00:04:27

for the facts and truth, but when I had this experience at 18, I had to have

Brianne: 00:04:32

blood work done three to four times a week to monitor my platelets and I

Brianne: 00:04:36

also was seeing a specialist at Hershey Medical Center who was such a godsend.

Brianne: 00:04:41

They gave me a month to live if they couldn't control the fact that I was

Brianne: 00:04:44

having like, a self-induced hemophilia, okay, so they didn't know I could just

Brianne: 00:04:48

spontaneously start bleeding and they couldn't stop it and it's just interesting

Brianne: 00:04:52

when you're 18 and you don't really think much about exiting, although I

Brianne: 00:04:55

must tell you that I was pretty much had suicidal tendencies my whole life

Brianne: 00:04:59

because I never felt like I fit in, and the only thing that really kept me

Brianne: 00:05:03

here was the fact that I really loved my brother very much and every time I

Brianne: 00:05:07

would have that thought process of I was better off, like exiting, he always

Brianne: 00:05:14

popped close to me and it was like, "Wow."

Brianne: 00:05:16

I never wanted him to feel any type of pain like that.

Brianne: 00:05:18

That was always what kind of kept me grounded, but then fast forward

Brianne: 00:05:22

and I had my own spleen killing my own platelets and I had my blood

Brianne: 00:05:26

work done and I had bone marrow biopsies and was constantly monitored.

Brianne: 00:05:30

I had high doses of Prednisone and other medicines and was very much monitored.

Brianne: 00:05:35

I kind of wondered, "Well, where does that go?

Brianne: 00:05:37

Once they take it and put it in a tube, where does it go?", and that's when

Brianne: 00:05:41

that whole process opened up to being a laboratory scientist, figuring out where

Brianne: 00:05:47

that went and what did they do with it?

Brianne: 00:05:48

How did they know my number?

Joshua: 00:05:51

Wow, and it makes me really think about some of my guests that

Joshua: 00:05:55

I've had getting to this point where I have talked about even their

Joshua: 00:06:00

traumatic injuries that they've had.

Joshua: 00:06:02

I've had somebody that had undergone brain surgery to be able to then function

Joshua: 00:06:08

in society and I've also had people that have overcome some terrible accident

Joshua: 00:06:14

that they've had in their lives in which then they've had to rediscover

Joshua: 00:06:18

themselves and transform into what they are, and you talked about suicide, so

Joshua: 00:06:25

just for my listeners, again, I always preach this in any episode which we

Joshua: 00:06:30

talk about this sort of subject matter.

Joshua: 00:06:31

I'll put in the episode notes.

Joshua: 00:06:33

If you ever know somebody that is experiencing any sort of crisis, I

Joshua: 00:06:37

really encourage you to call 988.

Joshua: 00:06:39

It's the National Hotline in the United States to help get resources available.

Joshua: 00:06:45

Have somebody that's clinically trained to help with that situation, and even the

Joshua: 00:06:50

website that helps support this, which is the National Institutes of Mental

Joshua: 00:06:54

Health, which I've usually have referenced in past episodes, has a lot of great

Joshua: 00:06:58

information that you should read through.

Joshua: 00:07:01

Brianne, is the suicide that you were talking about happened because of just

Joshua: 00:07:06

not only this autoimmune disease that you explained about, or is it something that

Joshua: 00:07:12

was really happening deep inside of you?

Joshua: 00:07:14

What was really putting you in that-

Brianne: 00:07:15

It was deep inside.

Brianne: 00:07:16

We're pretty open in our society today talking about like empaths and people

Brianne: 00:07:20

who are spiritually sensitive, and a lot of times when you're little, you

Brianne: 00:07:25

don't realize how connected you really are, and the fact that I interacted

Brianne: 00:07:31

with the other side since I was little.

Brianne: 00:07:34

I saw them, I felt them.

Brianne: 00:07:36

I saw them, I heard them, and it was very difficult because, growing up, it was

Brianne: 00:07:41

almost like parents in society teach you that, "Oh, that's your imaginary friends",

Brianne: 00:07:46

or that because you're so little, it's almost like they invalidate the reality

Brianne: 00:07:51

of which you actually are seeing is real, so growing up in that, it made me feel

Brianne: 00:07:56

like there was something wrong with me.

Brianne: 00:07:57

It made me feel like no one understood me.

Brianne: 00:08:00

Other kids were out playing, and I was more isolating.

Brianne: 00:08:03

I pretty much stuck to myself.

Brianne: 00:08:05

I played once I warmed up and felt it okay and accepted, but for the most

Brianne: 00:08:10

part, there wasn't a single kid around me that was talking to me about the

Brianne: 00:08:14

angels that they saw last night, or someone else on the other side, or even,

Brianne: 00:08:18

I'm going to be honest with you, I saw a lot of darkness on the other side.

Brianne: 00:08:21

I grew up in a home that was extremely unstable.

Brianne: 00:08:24

I had a father who was an alcoholic who brought other people into the

Brianne: 00:08:27

home, so as much as there's light, there's also dark, and it is kind of

Brianne: 00:08:32

a difficult thing for a little one to talk about, and it wasn't until I was

Brianne: 00:08:36

about 28 when I even like finally grew.

Brianne: 00:08:39

Everyone thought that I had such fire and courage that I could just be so open and

Brianne: 00:08:44

I just told people how it was and I was so factual and to the point, but honestly

Brianne: 00:08:48

if I truly was, I wasn't living a hundred percent authentic during that time.

Brianne: 00:08:52

I was, at that age, I probably was living only about 65% authentic because

Brianne: 00:08:57

of the fact that I wasn't willing to discuss and talk about and feel

Brianne: 00:09:00

like I was being judged or crazy for talking about the fact that I've always

Brianne: 00:09:05

talked to the other side, and a lot of that sensitivity is really what made

Brianne: 00:09:09

me feel like I didn't belong here.

Joshua: 00:09:13

As where you are now, do you feel that you are still out of place,

Joshua: 00:09:18

or you don't feel comfortable with maybe the surroundings or maybe the people

Joshua: 00:09:23

that are surrounding you from the other side, because I know that for me, and

Joshua: 00:09:29

we were even having this conversation before we started this recording,

Joshua: 00:09:33

in that I have had a lot of those experiences in my life where those past

Joshua: 00:09:39

versions of myself were always talking to me saying, "Yeah, you can't do it.

Joshua: 00:09:45

You're never going to be able to do it", and what I didn't share

Joshua: 00:09:48

with you is that I actually have had people literally say, "Yeah.

Joshua: 00:09:53

I don't know if you really are who you say you are, Josh, because it seems like

Joshua: 00:09:59

you're protecting yourself from those other entities or those other people."

Joshua: 00:10:04

I guess what I'm asking is, do you feel that you live in the shadows with that

Joshua: 00:10:09

even today as you practice, or do you feel like you have overcome that and the

Joshua: 00:10:14

person that I'm seeing today is truly free from all that pain or that persecution?

Brianne: 00:10:21

I feel like every step that we take forward in, in speaking

Brianne: 00:10:26

our truth, gives us a much more.

Brianne: 00:10:31

More loving per perspective of ourself.

Brianne: 00:10:34

Okay?

Brianne: 00:10:35

It gives us a much more loving perspective of ourself.

Brianne: 00:10:38

I feel a million percent more comfortable discussing and letting

Brianne: 00:10:42

the world know that yes, I do.

Brianne: 00:10:44

I used to get really uptight about people wanting to label me as like

Brianne: 00:10:47

a medium or a psychic, and yet we all are like, if you even remotely

Brianne: 00:10:51

believe that you might, then you have to understand the energy talks energy

Brianne: 00:10:54

and tangible talks to avatar tangible.

Brianne: 00:10:56

I'm a million percent.

Brianne: 00:10:57

However, due to my nature, I also have a like a perfectionist nature,

Brianne: 00:11:03

which is a self preserved kind of not good enough inside ourself.

Brianne: 00:11:08

However, this is where I found the sweet spot with that, is that I've

Brianne: 00:11:12

learned that my perfectionist is actually there to protect me, and it

Brianne: 00:11:18

was there so that I could survive things when I was little, that I could not

Brianne: 00:11:22

understand, but now that I'm older in a different setting, I don't need it to

Brianne: 00:11:28

the intensity that it has always been, so now I feel like I'm getting to that

Brianne: 00:11:34

point like I'm writing my book now, and I actually have a working journal

Brianne: 00:11:38

that I'm getting ready to publish soon.

Brianne: 00:11:41

The inner critic starts kicking in.

Brianne: 00:11:42

The perfectionist starts kicking in of how not good of a writer I

Brianne: 00:11:46

am, or do I even sound clearly?

Brianne: 00:11:48

Is this sound wishy-washy?

Brianne: 00:11:50

What's going on, but I have to stop and I have to take a deep breath, and I have

Brianne: 00:11:53

to acknowledge the fact that that inner critic, that perfectionist, served me

Brianne: 00:11:58

well by keeping me safe and loving me, but then I understand and let her know that

Brianne: 00:12:05

I need her to join me in this, that we're not being hurt, that we're not living

Brianne: 00:12:11

that life, and I love her for stepping up for me, and that has made such a huge

Brianne: 00:12:17

difference where we become more of an ally as opposed to it being such a protecting

Brianne: 00:12:21

mechanism in me, if that makes sense.

Joshua: 00:12:24

It does, because I have felt, even in my own life, and I have worked

Joshua: 00:12:29

with even people through my own business, where I feel like they are their own

Joshua: 00:12:33

worst critic, so it's almost as if they're pitting themselves against each

Joshua: 00:12:38

other, and what you're saying to me, if I would paraphrase, and you can correct

Joshua: 00:12:42

me if I'm wrong, but I feel that it's not about pinning one side against the other.

Joshua: 00:12:48

It's about finding that forgiveness, which one of my guests recently

Joshua: 00:12:52

had talked about when she was going through two divorces about, yeah,

Joshua: 00:12:56

I could hate that other person, but necessarily, I'm not hating that.

Joshua: 00:13:01

I want to forgive them because if I hate them, I'm giving them

Joshua: 00:13:04

power, so now if we're able to join forces, is what I'm hearing,

Joshua: 00:13:08

we are we able to do so much more.

Joshua: 00:13:10

Am I understanding that right?

Brianne: 00:13:12

Right, and even just a kind of a spin on that take, we all

Brianne: 00:13:15

have our demons where we can judge ourself about bad decisions, right?

Brianne: 00:13:19

This is my wheelhouse, this is where I love to sit, okay; in the abyss with

Brianne: 00:13:22

people, is that we can easily sit and judge ourself and get nowhere, but

Brianne: 00:13:28

what I love and what I have done with my life is I've been able to sit in

Brianne: 00:13:32

that dark space and I've been able to find out why that was important.

Brianne: 00:13:37

If I was not, if I did not understand what it feels like to be suicidal and

Brianne: 00:13:40

want to leave, then I also wouldn't know what it was like to really appreciate

Brianne: 00:13:44

and be present and love life and see how valuable it is to be present.

Brianne: 00:13:49

If I wouldn't have made bad decisions, you know, being so guarded, I was

Brianne: 00:13:52

extremely guarded, that I literally would hurt people with facts to keep

Brianne: 00:13:55

them away, thinking I was protecting me from getting hurt, when I actually, and

Brianne: 00:13:59

the whole time, I was hurting myself by keeping myself away from everyone, but

Brianne: 00:14:04

yet, had I not done that, I wouldn't value what closeness and love feels like.

Brianne: 00:14:07

I wouldn't value what it feels like to allow someone to love

Brianne: 00:14:10

and accept me and receive that.

Brianne: 00:14:14

There's such power behind our challenging moments in our relationships

Brianne: 00:14:17

and the things that we do, it's also intertwined and connected

Brianne: 00:14:21

into our understanding so that we understand what compassion feels like.

Brianne: 00:14:25

We understand what love feels like.

Brianne: 00:14:26

We understand what genuineness feels like.

Brianne: 00:14:29

We understand where someone who is just down and out and you could just go

Brianne: 00:14:32

in that space and you just know where they're at because you've been there.

Brianne: 00:14:34

You see it, you feel it, and you just know the right thing that you could

Brianne: 00:14:39

tell them that kind of puts the fire back in their eyes a little bit where

Brianne: 00:14:43

they believe and not so hopeless and downtrodden, and you're going, "Listen.

Brianne: 00:14:48

Are all of my clients, and even myself, have become a force to reckon with

Brianne: 00:14:53

because of fact of the time that you take to sit in that dark space and

Brianne: 00:14:56

actually fall in love with it?", because without that, you would not be you.

Joshua: 00:15:00

I feel like that is something that a friend of mine, even one of my guests

Joshua: 00:15:05

on episode number six, talked about, which is just about being human-centered, and

Joshua: 00:15:10

he shared a story of one of his clients since he operates a gym, coming up to

Joshua: 00:15:14

him and he can sense that something was wrong, so it was sort of the energies

Joshua: 00:15:20

and getting used to those energies being around us, which, this ties into a

Joshua: 00:15:24

question that I had because I feel like you have surrounded yourself with that

Joshua: 00:15:29

team, and I love the term that you use on your website, if you don't mind me

Joshua: 00:15:33

stealing it is, you call it your universal team, so you talk about God, or the

Joshua: 00:15:38

source, angels, guides, and loved ones.

Joshua: 00:15:42

Can you tell me a little bit about how those interplay in your life and

Joshua: 00:15:46

if you can, can you tie it back into how that ties for maybe somebody that

Joshua: 00:15:51

you're working with or how it relates to even my listeners, because I'm sure

Joshua: 00:15:55

that, even for me, I have that team and I had to think about that even

Joshua: 00:15:59

with the exercise that we were doing before we even started this episode.

Brianne: 00:16:04

When we hit the record.

Joshua: 00:16:05

Yeah.

Joshua: 00:16:06

Yeah, exactly.

Joshua: 00:16:07

Can you describe that a little bit?

Brianne: 00:16:09

Yeah.

Brianne: 00:16:09

I think pretty much the way that I describe it is the fact that

Brianne: 00:16:13

even when we feel absolutely alone, you have an entourage.

Brianne: 00:16:16

You have your universal team that your body can't physically see, but your

Brianne: 00:16:21

body can actually physically feel, okay?

Brianne: 00:16:24

It's very much an energy thing and the fact that we're all connected.

Brianne: 00:16:28

We're all connected to our source.

Brianne: 00:16:30

We're all connected, therefore, energetically to the angels.

Brianne: 00:16:32

We're all connected to the guides that we've had in our lifetimes, as well

Brianne: 00:16:37

as our loved ones in this lifetime that have transitioned, because the

Brianne: 00:16:40

fact that we leave this tangible body and we become energy, we become one

Brianne: 00:16:43

back into the energy of all, right?

Brianne: 00:16:47

It's one of those things where we have such a web and network at

Brianne: 00:16:51

our call, and they're guiding us.

Brianne: 00:16:54

They're helping us, but a lot of times people don't realize it's them because

Brianne: 00:16:57

they hear their own work, their own voice inside our head, like, how many

Brianne: 00:17:00

people can honestly go, "Gosh, why am I talking to myself?', and with the ideas

Brianne: 00:17:05

just start scrolling, you're like, "I don't even know why I'm thinking about

Brianne: 00:17:07

that", and all you hear is your own voice, and that's because a lot of times,

Brianne: 00:17:11

that's what your body is interpreting, because it's hard for your body to go,

Brianne: 00:17:15

"Oh my gosh, that's my grandmother or my parent, or a body", once it doesn't

Brianne: 00:17:20

have that tangibility, it's almost like your body disconnects from it, and just

Brianne: 00:17:24

misses and longs for that person who is not physically there, but energetically

Brianne: 00:17:28

on a soul level, they're part of your universal team to help guide you.

Brianne: 00:17:32

I'll give you an example of how I tangibly have a universal team.

Brianne: 00:17:39

There was two times when I was little that I heard a woman's voice.

Brianne: 00:17:44

The first one was when I was really, really little and my brother and I

Brianne: 00:17:47

was going on a walk with a friend of the family's, and, this is a little

Brianne: 00:17:52

graphic and a little emotional.

Brianne: 00:17:53

It could be triggering; so heads up on this.

Brianne: 00:17:56

We were going on a walk and he took my brother and I up into the woods and he

Brianne: 00:18:01

decided that he was going to like, expose himself, and he would want that of me

Brianne: 00:18:07

and my brother, and I kept hearing a woman's voice in my ear going, "Get him

Brianne: 00:18:13

to play hide and seek", and when you're little and you're thinking, "Oh my gosh."

Brianne: 00:18:17

You feel like you're so far from home, even though it was in the trailer court,

Brianne: 00:18:20

but thinking, "Play hide and seek.

Brianne: 00:18:21

He's going to cheat."

Brianne: 00:18:22

When you're little, you start thinking all these little things, and I kept

Brianne: 00:18:25

hearing her going, "Honey, honey, honey.

Brianne: 00:18:27

Get him to play, hide and seek", and luckily, nothing intense happened, thank

Brianne: 00:18:32

goodness, but being a little one and being exposed in that, it is intense.

Brianne: 00:18:36

I'm not taking away from that experience of myself or anyone else who has

Brianne: 00:18:38

experienced anything of that nature of being intimately compromised in

Brianne: 00:18:42

situations, so I got into the hide and seek and I grabbed my brother's hand and I

Brianne: 00:18:47

said, "Run", and we ran clear back to our trailer, to our mom and the rest of the

Brianne: 00:18:54

story, you know, obviously played out, but that was one instance where I heard a very

Brianne: 00:19:01

distinctive woman's voice telling me what to do, and I did it and we stayed safe.

Brianne: 00:19:06

Another one was when I was about seven.

Brianne: 00:19:10

I was in a car accident and the driver hit a telephone pool and I wasn't buckled in.

Brianne: 00:19:16

I was in the front seat and I almost went through the windshield.

Joshua: 00:19:20

Wow.

Brianne: 00:19:21

And when I was flying towards the windshield, I heard the woman's voice say,

Brianne: 00:19:25

"Baby, you're going to hit three times.

Brianne: 00:19:28

Just hang in there."

Brianne: 00:19:30

I hit once and I went back and she goes, "Okay, one more", and I hit the second.

Brianne: 00:19:34

She goes, "Last one, I promise.

Brianne: 00:19:36

Hang in there baby", and I hit the third time, and she said, "Trust

Brianne: 00:19:40

me, you're going to be okay", and so when you're little like that, and I

Brianne: 00:19:48

distinctively had like I said, I can recount it like it's yesterday and I can

Brianne: 00:19:51

hear her voice even today, but she was definitely part of my universal team.

Brianne: 00:19:56

I never really asked her if she was connected to me

Brianne: 00:19:59

physically in this lifetime.

Brianne: 00:20:01

It really hasn't been a significant question for me to ask her.

Brianne: 00:20:05

All that's important to me was she was there when I needed

Brianne: 00:20:07

her and she kept me safe.

Joshua: 00:20:13

Wow.

Joshua: 00:20:14

First off, I feel like I've been saying wow a lot for my audience, especially

Joshua: 00:20:18

with some of these testimonies, and these are authentic, because I have to

Joshua: 00:20:22

take a step back and process all this.

Joshua: 00:20:25

For those that have never done a podcast, I have to take a step

Joshua: 00:20:28

back and kind of think about, "Well, what do the guests say?

Joshua: 00:20:31

What can I say in response to that?", and I say, "Wow", because of, holy moly,

Joshua: 00:20:37

first off, there's essentially sexual abuse that you've been through with your

Joshua: 00:20:41

brother, with that figure essentially in your life that you're thinking that

Joshua: 00:20:46

they're going to take care of you.

Joshua: 00:20:47

They essentially took advantage of that privilege, and then, with you

Joshua: 00:20:52

being in an accident and hearing this voice saying, "Don't worry.

Joshua: 00:20:55

It's only going to hit three times and it's going to be okay afterwards."

Joshua: 00:21:00

For some people, I've heard of these incredible stories of just going

Joshua: 00:21:04

through something like that, finding this inherent strength, especially if

Joshua: 00:21:08

you're a mother or father, you know your kid's trapped in it, you find this

Joshua: 00:21:12

sense of superhuman strength and being able to pull them out of a wreckage.

Joshua: 00:21:16

I've heard of stories just like yours of "Don't worry, everything's going to be

Joshua: 00:21:20

okay", kind of almost divine intervention, although you take the divine out of it,

Joshua: 00:21:25

because it is some sort of intervention, no matter what it is, whatever you want to

Joshua: 00:21:28

call it, you could call it whatever it is.

Joshua: 00:21:31

It makes me feel like, "My gosh.

Joshua: 00:21:34

How can you sit here and tell me this and be so open about it, Brianne",

Joshua: 00:21:39

because I would be devastated.

Joshua: 00:21:41

I mean, yeah, some people can't carry through with life after

Joshua: 00:21:45

having all these things and going through what you've gone through.

Joshua: 00:21:49

Where do you find this energy, is really my question, because I'm just

Joshua: 00:21:54

mesmerized by the fact that you're sitting here, you're very transparent

Joshua: 00:21:58

about it and I don't think that I have heard of people that have been

Joshua: 00:22:03

willing to really tackle those things, so where does this energy come from?

Joshua: 00:22:08

I feel like I already know the answer.

Joshua: 00:22:10

You're going to tell me that it's somebody else, right?

Brianne: 00:22:13

Well, no, it's me.

Joshua: 00:22:16

Ah.

Brianne: 00:22:18

This is what I love about working with my clients, and this is

Brianne: 00:22:22

how I've really stepped in from being a scientist into my passion and my

Brianne: 00:22:26

purpose of being this intuitive life coach is I've had people go," How is

Brianne: 00:22:32

it, why are you remaining so calm?"

Brianne: 00:22:34

I had a brain tumor in April of 2021 and had brain surgery.

Brianne: 00:22:38

What really set us off is I kept hearing, and then this finally

Brianne: 00:22:41

was when I finally listened.

Brianne: 00:22:43

One of my good friends who I got close with really fast and furious and we

Brianne: 00:22:48

knew each other this much time in comparison to other people who knew

Brianne: 00:22:50

me even longer, but she was like, "Why am I the one crying, and you're

Brianne: 00:22:55

hugging me when you had brain surgery?

Brianne: 00:22:57

Do you not feel this?

Brianne: 00:23:00

Why are you the one not crying?", and I said to her, " Honey, this isn't my

Brianne: 00:23:04

first rodeo", and then I had to think and I'm like, "Well, how the heck am I doing

Brianne: 00:23:09

this?", you know, because it's a pretty valid question, but what we really forget

Brianne: 00:23:15

and really don't take credit for is all the answers are with inside ourselves,

Brianne: 00:23:20

and if you are willing to actually sit in that space and allow yourself to feel

Brianne: 00:23:25

and understand that your feelings are what bring you to the present time, even

Brianne: 00:23:29

when it's reflecting on your past, it brings it to the present time to the table

Brianne: 00:23:34

for you to acknowledge and go through.

Brianne: 00:23:36

I had to do a lot of work.

Brianne: 00:23:38

It wasn't like a flash in a pan, an overnight thing of

Brianne: 00:23:41

"everything's all right."

Brianne: 00:23:42

It caused a tremendous amount of distrust, hence the fact that, like I said, I

Brianne: 00:23:46

literally would verbally, factually hurt people to keep them far away from

Brianne: 00:23:50

me because I didn't trust anyone., and

Joshua: 00:23:53

Wait, wait, wait.

Joshua: 00:23:53

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Joshua: 00:23:54

Wait, wait, wait.

Joshua: 00:23:55

You're telling me that you have purposely pushed people away because of

Joshua: 00:24:00

just what those experiences have been?

Brianne: 00:24:03

Yes.

Joshua: 00:24:03

Is that what you're telling me?

Brianne: 00:24:04

Yes.

Brianne: 00:24:05

All the things in my lifetime.

Joshua: 00:24:07

Where have you been all my life, because-

Brianne: 00:24:08

I literally put up, I literally put up a barricade

Brianne: 00:24:13

of concrete, brick, titanium.

Brianne: 00:24:17

I always would say I was pretty much untouchable.

Brianne: 00:24:19

My brother used to get really, really upset.

Brianne: 00:24:20

He goes, "Why don't you let people see the sweet heart that you have?

Brianne: 00:24:23

Why?", and I literally would just phase out and look at him and go, "Why?

Brianne: 00:24:27

All that matters is you.

Brianne: 00:24:28

The rest of them can go fuck their self.", like I literally had that mindset.

Joshua: 00:24:33

Wow.

Brianne: 00:24:34

Honest to goodness.

Brianne: 00:24:35

I literally had that mindset and then I used to be called a bitch

Brianne: 00:24:37

alert, and it was because I literally did not want anyone near me because

Brianne: 00:24:42

I was terrified of being hurt.

Brianne: 00:24:44

I was terrified of being judged, hurt, and when people would say, "Oh,

Brianne: 00:24:50

you're such a bitch", I'd go, " You're welcome", and I'd walk away, so this

Brianne: 00:24:55

is not like just an overnight success.

Brianne: 00:24:57

This was a lot of the universal team playing chess with me, where they would

Brianne: 00:25:03

go, "You know, you need to stop asking.

Brianne: 00:25:06

Stop asking our source.

Brianne: 00:25:07

Stop asking God to send meters and start over."

Brianne: 00:25:09

I said, "Yeah, but I said I'm not taking myself out of the equation.

Brianne: 00:25:12

Take me out too."

Brianne: 00:25:13

I'm not going, "Everyone but me", I'm like," Why are you judging

Brianne: 00:25:16

me like that?", and the universal team, they never let me down.

Brianne: 00:25:19

We always ended up kind of fighting and laughing about it, but they're

Brianne: 00:25:22

like," No, you're not built for that."

Brianne: 00:25:23

I'm thinking, "Oh really?", well, fact is, we do get caught up a lot in what

Brianne: 00:25:27

our reality is, and our reality is our experience, and what I've learned is

Brianne: 00:25:31

that my experiences can change like this and my reality and what I thought

Brianne: 00:25:36

I knew, it can change like this, okay?

Brianne: 00:25:40

With a snap of a finger, I can experience something that completely blows what

Brianne: 00:25:45

I thought was reality all of my life out of the water, but I'm grateful.

Brianne: 00:25:50

I'm grateful for the people.

Brianne: 00:25:52

I'm grateful for the souls and their avatar bodies that took the heat from me;

Brianne: 00:25:56

that planted the seed of coming and touch me and not cautiously touching me, hoping

Brianne: 00:26:00

I didn't throw a spine at him, you know?

Brianne: 00:26:03

I'm grateful for when I was engaged, when I was younger for six years, and I knew

Brianne: 00:26:08

it just wasn't a hundred percent, but when I cried for probably three hard days

Brianne: 00:26:15

because I didn't understand, and I was tired of always feeling like I was failing

Brianne: 00:26:18

in relationships, I was just always tired of attracting the wrong people, but one

Brianne: 00:26:23

of my coworkers, she ended up, when I told her, she knows that my ring wasn't

Brianne: 00:26:27

on my hand and she got all emotional.

Brianne: 00:26:28

She wrapped her arms around me and I was honestly, at that time in my life,

Brianne: 00:26:32

very untouchable, but I had been around her enough that she was so sweet and

Brianne: 00:26:37

sensitive that she had really worn down the fact that I wasn't really forthcoming

Brianne: 00:26:41

emotionally where I would cry and be vulnerable, but I knew that there wasn't

Brianne: 00:26:45

a malice cell in her body, but as soon as she saw that I wasn't engaged anymore,

Brianne: 00:26:51

and I told her, I said, "We broke up.", she started crying and wrapped her

Brianne: 00:26:56

arms around me and was squeezing me.

Brianne: 00:26:58

I felt so uncomfortable.

Brianne: 00:26:59

I felt like a cat in a basin in the water.

Brianne: 00:27:01

I thought, I was like, I was freaking out.

Brianne: 00:27:03

I was freaking out.

Brianne: 00:27:03

I was like, "Ugh, Ugh."

Brianne: 00:27:05

I thought my skin was burning.

Brianne: 00:27:06

I had all kinds of things that if somebody ever tried to lovingly touch

Brianne: 00:27:09

me, that it just was just bad, but I'm grateful that she had the courage

Brianne: 00:27:16

to do that to me, knowing how much of a beast I could have been then.

Brianne: 00:27:21

She was a huge impact for later on in my life of healing.

Joshua: 00:27:25

Was your husband, Joe, which I also read on your website, somebody

Joshua: 00:27:29

there to help you out, to kind of get you to that other side too, because I

Joshua: 00:27:34

always find it weird at unique times, which, like you, coming in and I had

Joshua: 00:27:41

know nothing about you, mind you, and we had this open as if we've been talking

Joshua: 00:27:47

for 20, 30 years about our lives, and you were able to read that energy.

Joshua: 00:27:51

Was Joe somebody like that for you, or how did that come about, because

Joshua: 00:27:56

I feel like the, he has a big role in this story as well for you.

Brianne: 00:27:59

He does.

Brianne: 00:28:00

I'll tell you, he does, and I always tell people whenever I had a great quarter

Brianne: 00:28:05

life crisis moment in 2005 where I was tired of being told whose daughter I

Brianne: 00:28:10

was, whose granddaughter I was, and that's why I say when we get tired and

Brianne: 00:28:14

we're just done and we're just, we just go, "I don't love this job anymore.",

Brianne: 00:28:18

and when we finally get that point that we no longer want to clock in there.

Brianne: 00:28:23

It was purposeful, okay?

Brianne: 00:28:25

These pokes and prods and painful moments are great catalysts to get

Brianne: 00:28:28

you out of your comfort zone into stepping into your actual lane, and

Brianne: 00:28:33

that's pretty much what happened where I just was feeling there was something

Brianne: 00:28:37

more to life and I didn't know what it was, and I would actually was least

Brianne: 00:28:41

likely to ever leave my neighborhood.

Brianne: 00:28:43

I wasn't even one to go to the grocery store by myself because

Brianne: 00:28:45

I didn't like stranger danger.

Brianne: 00:28:47

Everything was stranger danger and suspect to me, so I just happened to be at work

Brianne: 00:28:52

one night and I was working third shift and when I walked past our bulletin

Brianne: 00:28:56

board, there was a piece of paper with a red number and a business name on it,

Brianne: 00:29:01

and that was all that was on there, and I just was drawn to it, like a bug to a

Brianne: 00:29:05

light, and I wrote it down because I was all like, "I don't need people knowing

Brianne: 00:29:10

that I'm looking at what the heck this is.

Brianne: 00:29:11

I don't even know what it is."

Brianne: 00:29:13

I took it home.

Brianne: 00:29:13

I sleep in and I dialed a number and here it was a travel agency to

Brianne: 00:29:19

go become a laboratory scientist, at hospitals that need temporary

Brianne: 00:29:24

staffing, and I was like, oh my gosh.

Brianne: 00:29:27

That was so foreign to me to think that I was going to ever pack up and leave

Brianne: 00:29:30

everything I knew because the comfort of being in my hometown at least.

Brianne: 00:29:33

It was messed up and not, not fulfilling, but yet we all

Brianne: 00:29:37

get caught up in that comfort.

Brianne: 00:29:39

I end up calling.

Brianne: 00:29:40

I end up applying right away.

Brianne: 00:29:42

I end up giving my two week notice, packing my car up and headed towards the

Brianne: 00:29:46

Poconos, and my role during that time was; I didn't know a blessed soul there.

Brianne: 00:29:52

I didn't know anything about there.

Brianne: 00:29:53

They didn't know anything about me.

Brianne: 00:29:55

I wasn't looking for anybody.

Brianne: 00:29:57

I was all about trying to fall in love with myself.

Brianne: 00:29:59

I was all very tomboy.

Brianne: 00:30:00

I never knew how to walk in heels.

Brianne: 00:30:01

I taught myself how to walk in stiletto heels.

Brianne: 00:30:04

I didn't know anything about makeup because I was too busy climbing

Brianne: 00:30:05

trees and arm wrestling my brother.

Brianne: 00:30:08

I was the oldest girl for 10 years on one side, eight years on the other,

Brianne: 00:30:11

so I knew nothing about being a girl, but I taught myself how to do makeup.

Brianne: 00:30:15

I taught myself what to do with my hair, and off I went, and honest to goodness,

Brianne: 00:30:19

the first night that my temporary coworkers asked me if I wanted to go out

Brianne: 00:30:23

with them, and I'm thinking, "Okay, well, I'm having a quarter life crisis moment.

Brianne: 00:30:27

Why not?", so I did, and the first night, and Joe's friend was actually buying me

Brianne: 00:30:33

drinks, and Joe went past and he went, "Joey, this is Bree.", and Joe pushed his

Brianne: 00:30:40

friend off the chair and said, "Tell me about yourself, Bree", and I, I was like,

Brianne: 00:30:45

"Wow, this guy's pretty aggressive.", and most of the guys in my life were

Brianne: 00:30:49

extremely passive, non go-getter, but he like locked in, and we picked up,

Brianne: 00:30:55

much like you and I talking, it was like Joe and I just knew each other.

Brianne: 00:30:59

It's almost like I just understood him on a level that no one else ever did,

Brianne: 00:31:03

and he knew all about me, even though he didn't realize he did, and when I first

Brianne: 00:31:08

met him, I told him, I said, "Listen.

Brianne: 00:31:09

Don't fall in love with me.

Brianne: 00:31:10

I'm here temporarily.

Brianne: 00:31:11

I'm here to have fun.

Brianne: 00:31:12

I'm here to find myself.

Brianne: 00:31:14

I'm not here to be with the whole town, but you're a good looking guy, so if

Brianne: 00:31:17

it happens, it's going to be with you."

Joshua: 00:31:19

Here.

Joshua: 00:31:19

Here's some stipulations.

Joshua: 00:31:20

Let's just make sure we're on the same page here.

Brianne: 00:31:22

Let's get on the same page.

Brianne: 00:31:23

Do not fall in love with me and sure enough, here I am,

Brianne: 00:31:27

I'll be with this man 18 years.

Joshua: 00:31:29

Wow.

Brianne: 00:31:30

And it's, honestly, it's because he had the tenacity.

Brianne: 00:31:34

I tell everybody and they look at me like I'm crazy.

Brianne: 00:31:36

I said, "I knew this man could take a punch", I knew this man.

Brianne: 00:31:38

If I ever got fiery and I needed to grapple about it, this man would wrestle

Brianne: 00:31:43

me until I, I was tired and all of the fight was out of me, and then I'm

Brianne: 00:31:48

like, "All right, let's have dinner."

Brianne: 00:31:50

He was the first and only male in my life who was such a solid man, a

Brianne: 00:31:55

very genuine protective man, because he is retired army and he's been

Brianne: 00:31:59

through his own interesting journeys.

Brianne: 00:32:01

He's very fearless, but he looked at me one time and he went, "Sweetheart,

Brianne: 00:32:05

contrary to popular belief, the world doesn't revolve around you.",

Brianne: 00:32:08

and I said," Fuck it doesn't."

Brianne: 00:32:11

I was like, "I don't know who you are, but you know who you're talking to?",

Brianne: 00:32:14

but in the same token, I was like, "Whoa.

Joshua: 00:32:16

Yeah.

Brianne: 00:32:17

"Guy.", but it was what I needed.

Brianne: 00:32:19

He's very calm.

Brianne: 00:32:20

He doesn't get worked up about anything, I mean, he's had to take incoming fire, so

Brianne: 00:32:25

he's actually extremely grounded and he's very thoughtful with guiding, but yeah,

Brianne: 00:32:32

I needed a man who could handle my fire.

Joshua: 00:32:37

Do you think that your fire is something that is really

Joshua: 00:32:41

important in the line of work that you do, let alone your life and why?

Brianne: 00:32:46

Absolutely, because it's how we use it.

Brianne: 00:32:50

I always say we have four elements.

Brianne: 00:32:51

We have fire, earth, air, and water, and you got to figure out which

Brianne: 00:32:55

ones you're dominant in to find out where you need to really start

Brianne: 00:32:58

working on to bring yourself balance.

Brianne: 00:33:01

Mine is very analytical, which is an earth trait, and then fire's my second

Brianne: 00:33:05

dominance, where I'm either the greatest cheerleader you could ever have.

Brianne: 00:33:09

I could spritz some gas and I could start a fire inside you; to douse

Brianne: 00:33:14

it with gas, and then we start evaporating all the emotion of water

Brianne: 00:33:18

to get the earth underneath your feet.

Brianne: 00:33:20

Knowing what you're dominant in can also tell you: how do you use it?

Brianne: 00:33:24

What's your intent with it, because as much as I have earth and fire, I

Brianne: 00:33:27

also can use it negatively, right?

Brianne: 00:33:29

I can either be your biggest cheerleader or I can be Mount Vesuvius

Brianne: 00:33:31

and burn this shit down, right?

Joshua: 00:33:33

Yeah.

Brianne: 00:33:34

So more than have to battle when I work with myself and anyone else, is

Brianne: 00:33:39

that we distinguish what your dominant traits are and how have you been using it,

Brianne: 00:33:46

and that really gives someone a tangible understanding about what it is that they

Brianne: 00:33:51

feel that they've been missing and they've been hiding from and fearful that they

Brianne: 00:33:55

couldn't do, and how to use what they're dominant to really give life to the other

Brianne: 00:34:00

elements that they're really kind of like putting on the back burner, but yes,

Brianne: 00:34:04

fire is very important to me because I love to get that shine in someone's eye

Brianne: 00:34:08

where especially when, like you and I had our moment together before we even hit

Brianne: 00:34:11

the record and there was that shine of fire in you and I was like, "Oh, Josh.

Brianne: 00:34:17

Go boy.", you know, but that's really what makes it addicting.

Brianne: 00:34:22

I could take people into their abyss, because most people, they won't go in

Brianne: 00:34:24

there, or if they do, they're kicking and screaming to go into that really

Brianne: 00:34:28

painful space, but the moment that I can show you where your fire is and

Brianne: 00:34:32

what you could do with that, it kind of brings you that glow and that light

Brianne: 00:34:36

into what you thought was a dark space.

Joshua: 00:34:38

Wow.

Joshua: 00:34:39

This part one was something that even after I hit the pause button to talk to

Joshua: 00:34:43

my guest some more about what they had even said, I even mentioned the fact

Joshua: 00:34:48

to her that this was something that we certainly need to continue talking about,

Joshua: 00:34:53

and even with all the things that we had mentioned, even when it comes to falling

Joshua: 00:34:58

in love all over again, that really displayed for me the true nature of what

Joshua: 00:35:03

this guest was all about, so let's recap what we learned about in part one so

Joshua: 00:35:08

that we have a foundation for what we are talking about even later for that matter.

Joshua: 00:35:13

I want to say that for anyone that is ever looking for something to help them

Joshua: 00:35:17

get to that next level, it's really about figuring out what are the facts and I've

Joshua: 00:35:23

mentioned even in previous episodes about the importance of understanding what we

Joshua: 00:35:27

observe, what we can measure, because there are the things that we tell as

Joshua: 00:35:31

facts, and those are the things that we can also tell as stories if we are not

Joshua: 00:35:35

identifying it correctly, and now I have to give credit to where credit's due.

Joshua: 00:35:40

This is because of the author Joseph Grenny and his co-authors, which

Joshua: 00:35:45

they wrote Crucial Conversations for Mastering Dialogue, so if you're ever

Joshua: 00:35:49

interested in reading that book, I would encourage you to check it out.

Joshua: 00:35:52

I'm a certified trainer in that and have been really enjoying just learning

Joshua: 00:35:57

a lot more about that experience, especially when it comes to identifying

Joshua: 00:36:01

those two things and teaching others, but we have to see people for what

Joshua: 00:36:06

they really are, and yes, that is a very controversial statement in itself

Joshua: 00:36:12

because we can easily make judgements.

Joshua: 00:36:14

We make biases, we make prosecutions before even having a jury to figure out

Joshua: 00:36:20

what is the truth and what is not the truth, and we even have a society that

Joshua: 00:36:25

builds upon those sort of foundations and sometimes those foundations get

Joshua: 00:36:29

shaken to the core, but I think that we need to be able to view it from all

Joshua: 00:36:34

angles, which comes into the fact or the conversation about self preservation.

Joshua: 00:36:40

Now I have to tell you that even as a coach myself, we have to figure out

Joshua: 00:36:44

what are the things in which we're just setting up ourselves as barriers with, as

Joshua: 00:36:49

opposed to other things that might be just protecting ourself from an uncomfortable

Joshua: 00:36:53

truth, but we still need to hear that truth as well, and it's really about

Joshua: 00:36:58

speaking to ourselves, and I love the fact that Brianne really mentioned a lot

Joshua: 00:37:02

about that, especially with her field in which before even being a scientist

Joshua: 00:37:06

for that matter, she moved into these different types of conversations with

Joshua: 00:37:10

other people to eventually get to where she is now, which is doing this sort

Joshua: 00:37:15

of hard work with other people, but there was also a trial and error in her

Joshua: 00:37:20

life in which she was trying to figure that out, not only with the people that

Joshua: 00:37:24

she was with, but who she ultimately got the support from: her husband Joe,

Joshua: 00:37:29

which I have to immensely thank Joe for being somebody that encourages Brianne

Joshua: 00:37:34

through the different types of things that are happening, but we have to sit

Joshua: 00:37:39

in that damn space sometimes of what is really needed to be worked through,

Joshua: 00:37:44

and I say that "damn space" because sometimes we have to struggle through it.

Joshua: 00:37:49

It's so difficult to outpace and outweigh those different things that are happening

Joshua: 00:37:55

in our life that might be setting us onto the other side that might not make

Joshua: 00:37:59

us feel so good about ourselves either.

Joshua: 00:38:02

I think that we need to see it from all angles, and that means,

Joshua: 00:38:06

simply put, that we are not just looking at it by ourselves.

Joshua: 00:38:11

We need to have that retrospection from somebody else.

Joshua: 00:38:16

We need to have that conversation with someone else so that we're able to find

Joshua: 00:38:20

the signs, that maybe the signs that we have been looking at are not necessarily

Joshua: 00:38:25

the true signs of where we need to go.

Joshua: 00:38:28

In other words, those are the false signs that are creating some of the

Joshua: 00:38:32

things that are happening in our lives.

Joshua: 00:38:35

The people that we find oftentimes are those false signs.

Joshua: 00:38:40

They might not have the best intentions in mind, and I have worked with people

Joshua: 00:38:44

that have thought for so long that those people that they were helping were not

Joshua: 00:38:49

really helping them either, and those are the people that sometimes we need

Joshua: 00:38:53

to take a step back and ask, "What is the relationship that I'm truly having?

Joshua: 00:38:59

Am I really getting confidence from that relationship?

Joshua: 00:39:02

Is it making me determined to keep doing my very best?", and that's when

Joshua: 00:39:07

we start to erect those barriers.

Joshua: 00:39:11

Those barriers can be very powerful.

Joshua: 00:39:14

Those can be barriers in which we are setting ourselves up to never be able

Joshua: 00:39:18

to cross, and I know for myself, as your podcast host, have done several of those

Joshua: 00:39:23

barriers, which even to me, sitting here and listening to Brianne talk about

Joshua: 00:39:28

those during part one, made me really think about what I have to do to continue

Joshua: 00:39:33

breaking down those big barriers that I had set up even when I was a kid, because

Joshua: 00:39:40

you see, it isn't just about what people do and what people have been able to do

Joshua: 00:39:46

in my life to get me outside of them to look at what I have created, but it's

Joshua: 00:39:51

also been facing the hard truth, when the truth isn't necessarily clear cut.

Joshua: 00:39:57

I love the fact that she talked about the four elements:

Joshua: 00:40:01

fire, earth, wind, and water.

Joshua: 00:40:06

No, this isn't a Captain Planet episode for all my Gen Xers

Joshua: 00:40:10

and millennials that are older.

Joshua: 00:40:12

We probably watched that wonderful cartoon series growing up, and yes, it

Joshua: 00:40:17

had a lot of suggestions about taking care of the environment, making sure that

Joshua: 00:40:22

we are good stewards of the resources that we have on this earth, but don't

Joshua: 00:40:28

you think that Captain Planet actually had some of the bigger aspects in mind

Joshua: 00:40:33

when it came to the different things that he was influencing the children on?

Joshua: 00:40:38

No, he wasn't brainwashing, as I've read so many different types of articles about

Joshua: 00:40:43

that growing up, even as a adult, about how that cartoon series really probably

Joshua: 00:40:48

defined a generation of environmentalist.

Joshua: 00:40:52

I'm not saying that the environment isn't important either, don't get me wrong,

Joshua: 00:40:57

but I think that for Brianne, using those four elements essentially creates

Joshua: 00:41:02

some of the definitions of the humanity and how we interact with this world.

Joshua: 00:41:08

She mentioned to me even afterwards that the concept of earth is analytical,

Joshua: 00:41:14

and she identified that in me too when it comes to processing different types

Joshua: 00:41:18

of situations, and I think that's where we need to be respectful of

Joshua: 00:41:22

the fact that those four elements in itself can have a domineering factor

Joshua: 00:41:27

and they should be rated as important, because those create some of the

Joshua: 00:41:31

basic tenets of who we are inside.

Joshua: 00:41:34

Now I'm not going to be like Brianne, and I've even mentioned an even a

Joshua: 00:41:38

previous interview episode in which I talked about the fact that we all bring

Joshua: 00:41:42

your unique perspectives, particularly when it comes to even coaching for that

Joshua: 00:41:46

matter, even public speaking, but we need to get involved with what's needed

Joshua: 00:41:51

to have ourselves step into the life that we really want to have, and having

Joshua: 00:41:56

the friends, or even the husbands and wives for that matter, that creates some

Joshua: 00:42:00

of those things, can drag us from those stories that we're telling ourselves, and

Joshua: 00:42:05

create some of the best stories that we ever thought possible, and I think that

Joshua: 00:42:10

we should be concerned with not only the self preservation that we try to have,

Joshua: 00:42:15

which I'm not saying that we should take down all the barriers, but we should be

Joshua: 00:42:19

open to the fact that if we change our mindset with being interconnected with the

Joshua: 00:42:24

signs, even if they're very few and far in between, we might even find people that

Joshua: 00:42:30

are willing to work through us to help us understand what is truly important,

Joshua: 00:42:35

and I think that is something worth considering, especially in this world that

Joshua: 00:42:40

needs those different types of people.

Joshua: 00:42:42

I think that as long as we are keeping ourselves open-minded to those vast

Joshua: 00:42:47

possibilities, especially with the different types of elements that work

Joshua: 00:42:51

in our favor, we can get people involved in order to help us, and maybe, just

Joshua: 00:42:58

maybe erect those barriers that we've had for 20, 30 or even 40 years.

Joshua: 00:43:05

Now I have to say in part two, this will be something that allows me to continue

Joshua: 00:43:10

building upon not only we have talked about today, but also what we'll talk

Joshua: 00:43:15

about tomorrow in our next episode in which covers part two of episode 52, but

Joshua: 00:43:21

for now, thanks for listening to Speaking From The Heart, and I look forward to

Joshua: 00:43:25
