My guest today is Brandon T. Adams. Investor, Media Expert, TV Host, and Producer. Since his early beginning, Brandon has always been a businessman and entrepreneur: from selling ice in his family's business to selling moonshine in college (with a twist), to becoming a 2x Emmy-Award Winner.  His life suddenly changed at 20 years old when he read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. A key piece he learned was that “you can achieve anything that you set your mind to, if you put action towards something; you have a good plan and also, you have the right people around you.”  He's had major success and major lows: from conquering his dreams to almost going bankrupt.  He shares his stories to help inspire others around him. This has become his passion: to inspire and motivate others, and, most importantly, to push people beyond what they think they can do. One major thing Brandon has noticed amongst the population is that people don't think big enough. And most people don't believe that they have what it takes. When they actually do! “Whatever you think about the most is what you become.” — Brandon T. Adams Brandon's Life Tips: Limit the thoughts in your head. Limit the energy that comes into your atmosphere. Reconsider the people in your life. Reprioritize your habits: put yourself in positions that give you the confidence to believe in yourself.  You must have consistent daily action.  You don't have to be the smartest person… the game changer is to be surrounded by the other smart people. Then you delegate. Do not waste your brain power. Be efficient.  To get inspired, tune into my interview with Brandon T. Adams!

I was putting my groceries away when I realized all of the labels on my kitchen counter. As a collective, we put so much value, so much merit— even trust— into what a label says.  Once we label something, then we categorize it. We put them in a box.  Think about your pantry! Everything has its place.  Just like the grocery store. In the store, the boxed/artificial foods are in the center of the store. Whereas the fresh produce is on the OUTSIDE of the store.  The healthier the food, the further out it is… They are the “outsiders”. Just like the “good” people are on the outside whereas the ‘easily influenced' are on the inside. Just like Mean Girls, the movie. Every ‘group' has their assigned seating section in the cafeteria.  And… this all turns into one analogy.  I realized, people feel safe when they can see a label. Because they're able to see it and therefore make a quick decision— when in reality, the decision has already been made FOR them. For both people and food purchases.  “The real ones don't need labels. The real ones don't need an explanation... their fruit speaks for itself!!” -- Saleena JustineFor example: if you go into a thorn bush, you cannot expect to get something good out of that bush. We know the places to go to find the quality we seek. Once I allowed myself to GET OVER the labels that others have given me or shown me, I have opened up to an entirely new world. I feel liberated and untouchable. I hope you'll do the same after listening to this episode! XX. REMEMBER:  EVEN IF you have a solid group of friends/family, it isn't about what other people say. Even if they have merit and they're trustworthy people. One friend may love spaghetti while the other friend loves fettuccine Alfredo. Does that make one of these bad? NO! They're just different flavors for different people.  They are not wrong or right. They just are.  You must be confident in what you know for yourself and what you like for yourself.

I have a wonderful discussion with Peggy Sealfon. Peggy is a Personal Development Coach and Productivity Strategist... and... SO much more!! Discussed in Episode: How can we pay attention on purpose? Asking ourselves: “What energy are my thoughts carrying?”  How often should we intentionally tune into our 5 senses?  What is the “Straw Breathing” Technique? How often should we take a “time out?” What is the “Sharpen the Saw” story?  Connect With Us: CollectivelyReal.com @Saleena.Justine Ask Anonymously  Peggy Sealfon

My 4 takeaways from this episode:  1. You are exactly where you are supposed to be; doing exactly what you should be doing. 2. Just go for it! Every moment is the right moment. 3. Be intentional and slow down. Enjoy the moment you've been given.  4. Surrender ~ don't try to control -- just be! Connect With Me: @Saleena.Justine Ask Anonymously 

In every purse of mine, I keep tucked away in a pocket a teeny tiny little fortune (like those fortune cookie ones!) so I can have a sweet little pick-me-up whenever I rotate bags. Todays read: "Let the opportunities come to you." I touch base on this approach versus not waiting for the opportunity, rather, creating the opportunity. I share this with the perspective of the divine feminine and masculine energy.  What are your thoughts? Want to hear further about this? Message me!

WELCOME TO SEASON 3 OF COLLECTIVELY REAL!

I share what brought me to move to Florida from California! I am finally authentically sharing my story of my move with you :) I break this episode up into a few chapters so that I can really give the story to true attention it deserves... Chapter 1: The Back Story… Leading Up to the Move Chapter 2: Preparing for My YES Chapter 3: Closing Out of California Chapter 4: Arriving to Florida Remember... Things don't make sense looking ahead. It isn't until we've taken our path and then glance back and smile because it all makes sense.  God is a God of details and He knew His plans for you and for me. And when the time is right, we get to connect those dots and gush over the beauty of it all. Leading up to my move, I was sowing the entire time without even realizing it. NOW, I am in my harvest season. 2020 was the start of my new goals and I am living out those manifestations in the year of 2022 and beyond. What I Did to Help Prepare For My Move:  Active prayer life (ask + discern what it is that He wants you to do + where) Pre-praise (give Him praise + thanks before your answered prayer! Act as if it's already been fulfilled— because it has been!) Detailed affirmations (get specific on what you want + declare it) Write down your vision + make it plain (Habakkuk 2:2-3) My hope is to inspire you to live out your vision. Trust God with your story

She shares with us her journey and her realization to understanding the science + soul aspect to trauma support.  “The body is a whole unit. You cannot just focus on nutrition.

Janie Charlot has a unique view on healing, that combines a scientific background with a holistic approach. Through her book, Capacity to Love, she invites you to awaken the universal feeling of love and experience the healing power that can be found in connecting with your higher purpose.  We challenge the traditional relationship vs co-existing with your partner. “Tradition” is rooted in programming. And, that should be challenged… We ask: is that truly for me? Ponder that. It's about the divine masculine and the divine feminine.  Feminine energy is being. Masculine energy is doing.  We talk about how we are leaving the Piscean Age and are now entering into the Aquarian Age (you'll find an understanding of this in the episode)!  "Energy is changing because thoughts are manifesting at a very high rate. But you have to understand it and then use it for good." -- Janie CharlotRealizations:  We have to make love the bottom line in everything; keep love at the center Truth can no longer be hidden ~ Allow energy to flow through you Observation is important; awareness is important  Go within and break down your own personal programs Words are spells.

Eric Twiggs is a Procrastination Prevention Expert.  Many years ago, Eric noticed an interesting pattern in people: we don't procrastinate on EVERYTHING. No one does. In some areas, yes, but, everything? No. He recognized that this underlining pattern is actually the theme of the bigger picture! The Big Q's: What is it that you do where you feel like you're making an impact? When you notice yourself procrastinating, is it something that you're afraid of? Is it aspirational? What's your pattern? Eric's Realizations:  Anyone can acquire discipline— it's just a matter of being aware of it Don't be over-critical yourself— extend grace to yourself  Your feelings are just suggestions Clarity is the starting point of success! The clearer you are on what you want, the easier it will be to ignore those emotional suggestions Keep yourself accountable. It is one of the grandest ways of showing yourself love and respect. And if you need a coach, friend, therapist…anyone to help keep you accountable, do that.  Set realistic goals for yourself — they add up :-) “I know people who get good results and I know people who get great results; and surprisingly, they know a lot of the same things. They have a similar intelligence level, but, the difference between the good and the great is that the great can get themselves to do certain things whether they feel like it or not.” — Eric Twiggs Connect With Us:  the30minutehour.net/  www.ericmtwiggs.com/ Collectively Real Podcast @Saleena.Jusitne Ask Anonymously

It gets me emotional bc He is SO intimate and He's speaking MY language so I can understand Him.

I discuss my recent struggle/spiritual battle. This story stems from my mentioning in my previous episode (Focusing on the Ideal Version of Health + Wellness for YOU).  “I can't rely on people. I have to go to my source.” — Saleena J. Connect With Me: @Saleena.Justine CollectivelyReal.com Ask Anonymously

She specializes in helping overwhelmed and over-busy professionals to run their days without running themselves into the ground.

Hazel is a Healing and Transformation Coach. She helps people to live freely, get back to their inner child, and just PLAY.  Main Focus: Breaking through mental blockages. Hazel was feeling this need to follow what others around her were doing, and so much to a point where she didn't even recognize her own voice. I think a lot of us can certainly relate to a feeling like this, or similar. She even draws back to the parenting you may have had (or not had) when you were young. Perhaps your parents worked really pressing jobs and therefore they weren't around as much.  Hazel provided an example: On a surface level, you could have known that ‘mom and dad are just working' but on a subconscious level, your thoughts could be ‘oh, they are not here often, I must not be lovable.' We then repeat these patterns into adulthood. Crazy how this all works out, huh?  We then move to other relationships, such as romantic partners.  Your relationships are not by accident. Remember your ex(es)? Yeah, they also mean more than you can imagine. We tackle this in the episode ;) “The inner child is the pure version of you who's just so filled with light, knowledge and has faith in everything and just wants to play . You feel so safe around the world to express yourself. But, as you grow older, you start to heed to other people's voices…” — Hazel A.; 4:45 “Partners are not just for intimate experience, they're also a mirror reflection of what we are going through and need to heal.” — Hazel A.; 12:00 Connect With Us: Hazel's Links: For a free inner child hypnosis, go to: Projectantiporta.com  @projectAnitporta + Saleena's Links: @Saleena.Justine CollectivelyReal.com Collectively Real Podcast  Ask Anonymously  ARE YOU A FAN OF THE SHOW?  PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND REVIEW :)

Neither one of us had to say anything or do anything, like one hundred percent that was God in that moment. And that was me surrendering all of my pride and my fear, and everything to Him; and just letting Him do the work of restoration because it's something that had been needed for so long but it couldn't happen until I made that decision to let it go.” -- Morgan Atkins Connect With Us: iChurch  Redemption Church  @MissMorganAtkins + @Saleena.Justine CollectivelyReal.com

Today my guest is Krisstina Wise. Krisstina is a Real Estate Mogul, Millionaire Coach and Creator of several multi-million dollar business, including WealthyWellthy and Sovereignty Academy. She is also the Podcast Host of Wealthy Wellthy.  For many years, Krisstina was striving for wealth and success by following the conventional rules for earning money, thinking it would lead to wealth + therefore happiness. This was working for her until it wasn't. It wasn't until she was on her deathbed that she realized things had to change for the better. Okay— so I have to share! This episode is really special to me because the day Krisstina + I recorded this, we got to talking beyond the episode. Once that record button was off, she asked me about my path in life, career, etc., which doesn't happened very often. Fast forward to 3 months later, I am now producing KRISSTINA'S podcast and working for her team over at Wealthy Wellthy. She has totally taken me under her wing and I could not be more proud to be releasing this episode today. Let me just tell you, Krisstina really has a gift in her teachings, and right now I am taking her Wise Money course and it is absolutely blowing me away. Oh, and since this recording, which was back in February, I have successfully transitioned into waking up at 5:15am every morning (you will understand when I go over The Gold + They Grey ;). You will not want to miss this episode!  Join me in my wonderful conversation with Krisstina Wise.
