Dolores Hirschmann, an internationally recognized strategist & coach who helps clients clarify their “idea worth sharing”, design their communication strategies, and implement business growth systems, joins Sydney to chat about a lesson she's learned in shifting our mindset from I CANT to I CAN.  We dive into why shifting our mindset often starts with clarifying our message, how we can begin to shift our mindset around our belief in ourselves and what we're capable of, and why bridging the gap between I CANT and I CAN means starting small and finding the fun. Dolores reflections, honesty, and vulnerability will leave you feeling inspired, and remind you that when we give ourselves permission to believe in what's possible, we can shape our mindset, thoughts and beliefs and ultimately attract the solutions, situations, resources you are seeking to achieve your goals.

Just because I'm ultimately right, doesn't mean I CANT be wrong from time to time. I miss spoke and in a 30 second window separately claimed both Orange Crush and then Rootbeer the winner and we gotta clear this up for the semi finals...Did I mentioned we are announcing the winner of the free stuff??

When you mean meditation, do you mean, go into a coma? What about yoga? I CANT bend my body?? And what do you mean it can heal me from cold depression, anxiety, addiction?? Some of the common questions I get every day from women like you on the healing journey and on this episode of the podcast we dive deeper into why Meditation is not about going into a comma and how it specifically heals from Cold Depression which so many are experiencing right now.

Hi Kati, how can we open up more in therapy when the therapist isn't sharing much about herself?

When you completely transformed the way your audience view the world, you’re giving them a paradigm shift. You’re changing their world from I CAN’T to I CAN and I WILL... then you can expect them to adopt your new MLM opportunity.

International speaker, certified pilot, scuba diver, black belt in Tae Kwon Do and casual piano player, Jessica Cox eliminated “I CAN’T” from her vocabulary years ago. But what may impress you more is watching Jessica, who happened to be born without arms, put in her contacts or open a can of soda. She discusses utilizing challenges as opportunities of growth while living in a world that does not cater to the “disadvantaged.” Initially afraid of flying, Jessica has a good sense of humor when piloting a plane, and wearing her favorite shirt that reads, “Look mom…no hands!” Like many young children, Jessica struggled with fitting in, but brings a new perspective to the idea of conformity. Learn her mindset on avoiding pity, victimization and overcoming any obstacle life puts in front of you.

"I walk into diamond bourses around the world. I’m the only black person. I’m the only black woman. People expect me to fail. Yes I’m a small fish in this big pond full of sharks but I don't care. Things have to change. We will try to fix it because it’s our own people." Vania Leles, founder VANLELES DIAMONDS Vania Leles is the first African woman to own a fine jewellery store on London’s Bond Street. That’s pretty remarkable in itself but her journey to this point is even more so. Vania Leles is shortlisted for Veuve Clicquot BOLD woman award 2020 CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO SHOW ME THE WAY WITH VANIA LELES Vania was born in Guinea-Bissau - a small country on West Africa’s Atlantic coast and moved to Lisbon to be educated when she was six.  She saved all her money to do an English course at SOAS, working in restaurants to pay her bills and eventually took a job as a social worker in Camden but then got scouted by Select Models and landed a massive Diesel campaign. That campaign would pay her four times what she would have made in a year so she decided to become a model full-time and moved to New York. She came up with the idea for her business Vanleles Diamonds when on a photo shoot in New York. It was whilst on a photo shoot on New York that she started to release that although 75-80% of the gems that exist in fine jewellery comes from the continent but as she says "it’s absurd that we don't have representation on this side of the industry - more African fine jewellery brands, more African diamond dealers across the bourses of this world." Because as she says, "how come countries do not produce an ounce of diamonds and they trade all the diamonds in the world....We have to be human enough to realise that is unfair."

Oh man, this is such a cool idea. I’m blown right now. On some ol time capsule shit. So check it. I know that you all have turned out great. Your mommas and daddys are some of the best people I’ve ever known and they take the raising of y’all so serious. So much so, in fact, that I’m sure they started off with some real down and depressing shit about what’s going on right now. It’s not their fault. They aren’t like, negative people or anything. But they also got their hands full with y’all and they want to make sure that you know the real and blah blah blah, but yo! I’d be remiss if I didn’t share with you a couple of important things about the ‘Rona. One. I miss the shit out of y’all. It’s not like I would’ve necessarily been there right now anyway. My next trip to Dallas wasn’t planned until the summer. But the fact that I CAN’T get to y’all, and that the summer trip is now highly questionable, definitely has me feeling a kind a way. I love you all so much. Not having kids myself, I get to spoil y’all, and then leave your parents to deal with you. But truth is you’ve all always been such incredible kids. I don’t believe half the stories your parents tell me about y’all fucking up shit. I can say fucking up shit to you now cuz you grown. This is Incredible. Trippy shit man. So. Two. Gas prices are down. I don’t gotta drag my black ass into work. I’m collecting a check (allegedly, I aint seen no money yet), I’ve got all my bills and mortgage deferred, I’ve been catching up on all my Hulu and Netflix and Disney + like a champ. Rick and Morty is on hiatus. But watching the old episodes in my drawers in the middle of a weekday with some brown is a fucking great way to ease the time. Taking meetings in my drawers. Not having to change out of my drawers. All things drawers related have upticked. Three. Ya boy DJ Nice been killing the gram with his sets. I can now say I’ve sweated my ass off in the club with Michele Obama! What a world! My only emergencies have been running out of liquor. But I’ve got a fresh set of masks that I ordered from this joint in Philly so I’m always prepared to make my next run cuz that home delivery situation is cool and all but sometimes you run out and what am I gonna do, wait til tomorrow, when I still got daylight? That’s a no. Four. I ain’t got no kids! Five. Well. Huh. I will say that I miss sex. I wasn’t dating anybody serious when the apocalypse landed so when they shut this shit down I was solo. But honestly it’s not just the sex. It’s the contact. Like, I haven’t hugged anyone in weeks. Y’all know how I do. I bring it in. That part is tough, I can’t lie. But this flattening the curve shit is real. It’s showing results. Dumbasses are still out here dumbassing but it feels like if we can keep our heads this will be over and we might get basketball back! I’m not gonna spend a lot of time talking about it here cuz I wanna keep this positive but if the Rona robs my boy Bron of a chip, YO! Salty doesn’t begin to cover it. Anyway. I’ll leave you with this, my beautiful kings and queens. The world has thrown our people every sort of raggedy hand it could despite our royal lineage, and at every turn we rise. If your not up on your Maya Angelou, shame on you. Do that shit. So if you are ever down or not feeling at your best, remember who you are and where you come from. Your parents are Empresses and Emperors, fuck how much money they make. And they love y’all. I’ve known them, and you, since before any of you were born, know that. Your Uncle Frank won’t never lie to you. The next time I see you it’ll be all Star Wars and Sesame Street, but I’ll know that one day you’ll read this, and it’ll be like our own inside joke. I’m a say drawers, just out the blue, and someday you’ll know, that in that moment, I was talking to you then and now, at the same time. Cuz that’s what love is. And best believe, I love you.#covid39 #covid19 #coronavirus #quarantine #rona #quarantinechronicles #covidchronicles #coronachronicles #quibi

4:45 is too early but the baby is awake and he is hungry, just like most mornings. I think he grows at night and uses up all his stores. He’s kissing my face and my arm and poking his brother with his toes.“Don’t wake him up. Baby, let Mommy sleep, please. Mommy is so tired. Please don’t lay on my face. Please don’t kick me. Stop touching your brother, he’s trying to sleep. Look, the moon is up and the sun is not. It’s sleeping time. Sshhh.”It’s no use. We do this every day and it never works.I tell my self again that I’m going to install the baby gate today, the new one that maybe he can’t climb, on his bedroom door today. Tomorrow, I tell myself, he is going to learn to play in his room and I am going to sleep till 6. I say this knowing it will not happen because I don’t know how to use a drill, I have to work all day, and there will be no time to complete any tasks beyond the obligations of the day. I say this because it helps me not cry like yesterday morning, and I say it even though I know I have too much anxiety to sleep if this fearless boy is awake. I have a vision of him using his bed as a trampoline to catapult himself out of his second-story bedroom window that I feel in my stomach and take a full minute to fade away.“Ok, baby. Let’s go downstairs.”I put him in his high chair and turn on a show but not THAT show or THAT show, he wants THE OTHER SHOW but not THAT other one, THIS one.Peel the banana. Pour the water. Get the raisins, realizing I’ll be scraping them up with a butter knife on Saturday.Pour the coffee. Add the sugar. Add the cream. Clink the spoon.Sit.Scroll.Breathe.Footsteps. Deep breath. Wild card child is awake.“Please be in a good mood, please be in a good mood,” I whisper as a half prayer, half demand.“My stomach hurts. I can’t go to school today, I CAN’T.”“You should go back to bed. It’s early. Still dark. You’ll feel better in a while.” I hold my breath again.“I CAN’T GO TO SCHOOL!”Oh, this is the kind of morning we are having today. I see. Sigh.Ignore the child. Drink the coffee. The child goes back upstairs.Sip. Work on a freelance writing task. Breathe.It’s 6:30. Already late.I go upstairs to wake the big kids. They move slow and I get mad. They move faster.“Wild child, put your school clothes on.”“I’M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL!”I call his dad. Dad doesn’t answer.I cuss under my breath and start breakfast.“Are ya’ll dressed up there? Come down and pack your stuff. Take the dog out.”Fighting upstairs. Yelling. Crying.I yell, loud and mean. I hate it.They come down, big kids dressed. Wild one, not.“I’M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL!”Oh, boy.I call his dad, who answers. Dad talks him into getting dressed. Everyone is crying, everyone is tired, everyone is hungry, and if we don’t get in the car in 10 minutes, everyone will also be late.“You feed the dog. You dress the baby. YOU PUT ON YOUR SHOES BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO SCHOOL.”More yelling. Another call to dad.We are in the car. It feels like it’s already been a whole day. Four of us are wearing shoes, three of us are crying. One of us is still hungry. It’s a regular day in the neighborhood.Wave to the crossing guard, pull up to the door with one minute to spare. Salute the teacher on door duty with his keys in his hand, ready to lock the door in 30 seconds. We made it but just barely.“Good-bye, love you, have a good day.”SLAM. STOMP.Turn left, heading to the next school where I am a teacher and the baby goes to his class.Late, late, late. Always late.I cry a little. Moms can cry without making a sound, did you know? I try to answer the baby’s questions happily but really, I want to put on my noise-canceling headphones.Drop him off. He’s happy to see his friends and teachers and that’s a gift that is never lost on me. If he didn’t release me happily, I couldn’t do my job. I couldn’t take that.Unlock my classroom, take a breath, turn on the lights and the heat and it’s time to go.Sit in a circle. Ask the eighth-graders about their weekends, even the ones who always pass. Look them in their eyes, listen to their stories. Hope my kids’ teachers get a second to look at my kids’ eyes, too. Wonder if they will.Grammar. Literature. “No, you cannot go get your pop tart out of your bag. You know why. Yes, you can go to the bathroom.”Next class. Juniors and Seniors. None of us are sure if they are children or adults. None of us are exactly sure how to behave. Read a short story, try to lead a meaningful discussion. Explain (again) why we won’t read the story with the accent of the Chinese immigrant we are reading about. Send someone to the office for violating the cell phone policy (again). Feel immediately conflicted about that, wonder if I should have let it go. I wonder if he had a stomachache like my own wild child this morning. I wonder if it was less his stomach and more his heart, like my child.Bring my lunch to my classroom to sit with a student who needed to talk about the things kids need to talk about sometimes.I wonder about my own kids. Are they ok? Are they getting Influenza Type A at this very moment? Are they included? Are they being good friends? Are they understanding the material? Did my kids resist the delicious looking pizza lunch and eat the healthy, gluten-free lunch I packed? Are they feeling anxious? Left out? Are their teachers as tired as me? I hope they are kind anyway.Two more class periods. Kids, kids, kids everywhere. All of them brimming with hope and possibility and life and nonsense and excuses and contradictions.Talk to a parent in the hallway, recognizing this means I will be late and my kids will come home to an empty house. Pick up Shep from his classroom and grit my teeth and try to be cheerful while he stops at the water fountain and then to hug every teacher and student he sees on the way out.I realize it’s raining and very cold and neither of us have a coat today.Buckle him in. Buckle myself in. Breathe.Pick up dance carpool friend #1. Drive home, arriving 15 after my kids are dropped off but thankfully, this time, no one is fighting.“Get ready for dance and get in the car! We are going to be late.”Pick up dance friend #2.Drop four kids off at dance.Pull back in the driveway at 4:20. Sit in the driveway and breathe until Shep starts yelling.Send Shep upstairs with Dad and Eli.Breathe. Put on the headphones and listen to a novel on 1.75 speed because the library will take it back in a few hours.Start dinner. Do breakfast dishes. Pick up the banana peel from under the high chair. Leave the raisins.Send big boy out the door to walk to his youth leader’s house for youth group. Feel anxious about that.Put Shep back in the high chair, dance kids come back through the door.Dinner is on the table and the LAST thing I want to do is sit and eat with my family but I do it anyway, even though I’d rather be hiding or doing the dishes. I just want the day to end. I want to be alone.Listen to their stories. Look them in the eyes. Don’t fight with anyone about what they will or won’t eat. Yes, you can have an apple and peanut butter. Argue with Kyle about the apple. Give the kid the apple even though Kyle thinks kids should eat what is served or nothing. Decide to fight about that on Saturday.Take the two little ones from the table to the tub. Cross my fingers that the kitchen is really being cleaned by the assigned child while her dad folds a load of laundry and starts another.From the tub to the rocking chair. Read the books, sing the songs. Lay the baby in his bed, knowing he won’t stay. Think about that baby gate. Wonder how hard it could be to use a drill.Send the big girl to bed. “Don’t forget to put your retainer in. Did you brush your teeth? Is the kitchen clean? You can read but you need to be in your bed, not moving knick-knacks around in your room this time.”I wonder if she is getting what she needs from me. I wonder if she did her homework. We are so busy and she is such a good kid. Does she feel loved? Do any of them? Are we too busy? What would we cut out if we were?Rock the wild one, looking at the big moon outside the window. Think about the morning, about the way I yelled at him, the way I looked at him. I think about how he cried when the anger was all used up and it was clear he was going to school no matter what. I wonder if it’s all my fault that he doesn’t like school. Have I made all the wrong choices? Is he in the wrong school? Wonder if I should burn my whole life down and rock him forever. Wonder if I should quit my job and move to a little shack in the woods and grind my own grain and can vegetables. I wonder if he would be happy then. I wonder if he will ever be happy. I wonder if I am happy. Is anyone happy? Am I allowed to ask that?The front door opens. The big one is home. I tell him he can’t play his game and he has to shower and go to bed. We argue about that. Walk away. I hope he does what I said, knowing I am too tired to stick around and make sure. Go downstairs. Sigh at the halfway job someone did in the kitchen. Feel like that is somehow my fault, too.I take my vitamins. Drink some water. Eat some chocolate.Sit.Breathe.Look at Kyle, eyes half-closed already but trying to read his book about God. His days are wild, too.Think about all the things that aren’t done.I didn’t check to be sure everyone has a uniform for tomorrow.I didn’t write anything meaningful. Probably won’t ever get an agent or a publishing contract.Didn’t make the dentist appointment.Didn’t prepare for the Bible study I’m supposed to lead in 12 hours.The oil in the van still needs to be changed.The dog needs to go to the vet.Did I text my friend back? I didn’t, did I?I was going to go for a walk today.I haven’t talked to my cousin in a month.I should fold that load of clothes that just buzzed. I should tell Kyle to.Should we have gone to church tonight? Are we making the wrong call to opt out of the mid-week small group gathering this year? There’s no way we could do it, I know. How did we ever make it before? How does anyone?Did anyone take out the trash? Waking up to a full trash can is almost as demoralizing as waking up to a full sink.So much grading to do. Am I a good teacher? Am I giving them what they need for the ACT in April? Will they be prepared for their next step?What am I going to pack for lunch tomorrow?Remember we are out of bread.Decide to worry about that tomorrow.Think about my kids. Think about my mom.I think about Ameerah, the one who lived under my roof for most of seven years. I wonder if she is taking her allergy medicine. I wonder if she knows how much she is loved. I wonder what she will do after she graduates next year. I wonder if she is happy.I wonder if I’m doing anything right. Part of me always feels like the hammer is just about to fall and I’m about to realize that everything I thought was ok isn’t. I recognize that’s not normal.Think about being 36. Think about having another baby. Imagine adding first-trimester exhaustion on top of 13-year-old impulsivity. Decide that’s insane but cry a little anyway. Imagine having a kindergartener and a college freshman in 5 years. Cry some more. Put that thought away. Again. For now. It always comes back.I pull open my laptop and work on a freelance project for a few minutes. My eyes won’t stay open.It’s 10.I get in bed a few minutes before Kyle and try to breathe like my therapist taught me, deep and slow.“There is no dinosaur chasing me. I am not in danger. My kids are safe and well. The bills are high, but they are paid, or at least they will be. I am not a cavewoman and there is no dinosaur.”Deep breath. Again.Resist the temptation to look at my phone, knowing that it’s bad for my sleep. I wonder how many hours will pass before a footie-pajama wearing toddler will come looking for comfort. I wonder if anyone will have a nightmare or sleepwalk down the stairs tonight.Kyle comes in, turns the light off, falls asleep easily because he is exhausted, his breath getting steady and slow. I match mine to his. I pray in that twilight way, the same way I’ve been praying my whole life. I fall asleep, but lightly. I’m waiting.Next, footie-pajama feet are padding down the hall toward me.“Mama, I want you.”“Come here, baby. It’s all right.”Finally, we sleep deeply for a few hours, almost to sunrise. It’s enough.

Last week, in a longer than usual episode, I spoke about the lessons I’ve learned from several successful crowdfunding campaigns. If that’s a topic that interests you then please go back and have a listen and if you are on a podcasting app right now then please remember to hit subscribe so that you won’t miss any of the new shows I have coming up.   Today I’m releasing release two shorter more on point episodes. This episode SWIM FOR YOUR LIFE is the first show where I’ve talked about fitness… it’s a very limited immersion (pun very much intended) in a topic that I feel may make a big difference to your life if you can go with it. There’s plenty of other stuff in here too if you are a non-swimmer so stay tuned! Now not only is STAYING ACTIVE one of the ESSENTIAL 5 A DAY FOR GOOD MENTAL HEALTH elements, but it’s also vital if you are to be as productive as you possibly can be. Maya Angelou says If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Before I’ll be talking about why going for a swim is something you may want to consider every now and again – but if you’re already thinking that you can’t fit anything new into your schedule then stop right there. I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy for everyone but it’s possible and I absolutely know that listeners that work in the film industry are often working crazy hours in unrelenting schedules, BUT THE MINDSET of I CAN’T can easily be changed into one of I CAN.   To change your mindset, you need to have a clear picture of what it is that you want – so - you’ll need to have a vision of what it would be like for you. When you visualise things that you want, it will act as a powerful motivating force, particularly when you’re struggling to find time to do something new or stay focused on something you are already committed to.   Simply put, if you can visualise what you want it makes it easier to achieve that GOAL. With a plan or strategy in place, you can work towards achieving it.   So in June there I tackled my first social media fast, which I later did an episode on – give it a listen if you haven’t done so already, and right now as I put together this third season I’m on another social media fast to write and record it. During the first fast, I decided to do something which I had recommended we all do in an earlier show. To exchange a bad habit for a good one. I exchanged social media for swimming.   And here we are with sound effects to spice up this episode, recorded by my own fair hand this morning – actually that’s not true – I had to download it in the end, because a swim class of about 40 old women came in and started doing water aerobics but I’ll gloss over that - don’t worry I’ll fade it out sooner rather than later and you can relax again.   At a glance exchanging social networking time for swimming is probably somewhat strange, but when I say exchange a bad habit for a good one, there’s really no rules to it. We are the MASTERS OF OUR OWN DESTINY after all. I simply wanted to use the time which I had freed up for something productive and SWIMMING had been on my mind for some time.   In an earlier show, I can’t recall where, I talked about taking something you used to enjoy, whatever that may be, reading, making model aeroplanes, playing netball, skiing, drawing, painting, coding, going to the theatre, playing tabletop games, horse riding anything at all, and then finding time to fit it back into your life.   The concept of doing this is to me very attractive, but the time I once had seems to have slipped through my fingers somewhere along the road and now I need to exchange time I am kinda wasting in order to indulge myself in those hobbies that I once did, or indeed in completely new ones.   As a kid I swam every week, my mum or dad would run me and my brother to Coatbridge baths and we’d spend, I think it was 45 minutes a session, swimming and playing in the water… we’d even been part of a sub-aqua club and it had been a major part of my life growing up - but somewhere along the line, my priorities changed - I went off to college - and I just… stopped swimming. Getting into a pool suddenly seemed to me to be just too much bother.   Over the years, I have occasionally ended up in a pool but usually for fights which take place in water. I certainly never, until recently that is, got back into the swing of going there for fun or for fitness… and I avoided it for a number of reasons, I think primarily because I became quite self-conscious for a while, which as I’ve prepped this episode and spoken to a few people, seems to be the reason that most to stopped going. Others stopped because it no longer seemed fun because it was better to spend their time with friends. I looked into this and several studies say that 70 percent of kids will quit sports, including swimming, by age 13.   I feel myself to be very lucky to be trialling and testing the techniques tips and tricks which I bring to you here. Swimming has not only worked for me, but it’s one that I feel I should bring to you today as I continue to swim as often as I can. If you can get back into the habit of swimming your life and your fitness will improve in many ways.   Lesson   Perhaps when you read the title of today’s episode, you said to yourself. That’s an episode about why you should go swimming as it’s good for you. Well, yes - you are correct, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be swimming. I know several people that don’t actually like the water, but perhaps what I’m doing is somewhat interchangeable for running or cycling if that’s the case. I know at least one non-swimmer that goes to the swimming baths and walks breadths of the shallow end, and it’s never of course, too late to learn.   I’ve been rolling about the ground and staging fights for 24 years and swimming for me is a really great option for fitness as my body, especially my knees, is not particularly happy about me doing impact sports anymore. Running is OUT for me. I just can’t do it. I also have a gym membership which due to injury I’ve not been doing lately but swimming, on the other hand, is ideal.   An article in HEALTH DOT COM lists a number of a number of reasons you should be swimming. It says:   1. It's a total-body workout. Swimming tackles everything from sculpting your back to toning your arms—all without having to pick up a weight. 2. It's joint-friendly. If you're recovering from an injury and are eager to build strength, then look into starting a swimming routine to stay fit. 3. It puts your body through a range of movements, helping your muscles stay long and flexible. 4. It doesn't require fancy equipment. That's right; you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to swim. All you need is a swimsuit. 5. It's a great way to burn calories. One hour of moderate swimming can burn around 500 calories. If I were to add to that I’d say you should go swimming because 1. You don't need to be a professional swimmer to benefit from going for a swim. Have fun with it, and enjoy being in the water. It can be an awesome way to wake yourself up and get refreshed! 2. It gives you time to think. It slows you down for a period of considered time, which can allow you to plan things out that are troubling you and just unwind. And the benefits of swimming also include: · being a relaxing and peaceful form of exercise · alleviating stress · improving coordination, balance and posture · providing good low-impact therapy for some injuries and conditions · providing a pleasant way to cool down on a hot day   Summing Up   I don’t want to preach to you about all this - my aim here is simply to get you swimming, not go on and on about WHY it’s a good idea. I think you probably already know that. I do want to add a few things though which might make the prospect more appealing. · Going for a swim doesn’t necessarily take an hour. I never go swimming each day in fact for more than 30 minutes. I am in the changing rooms and changed in 5, showered in 1 minute more and then I’ve dived in and am swimming for the next 10-15 minutes – then I’m out dried and ready 10 minutes after that. And even If I only have 20 minutes I’ll still go for a swim, so that I keep myself in the habit. Taking that a little further I’d point out that a five-minute swim is enough for me to get something out of it. I can get swimming in btw even if I’m shooting on location. I simply identify the nearest pool to the filming locations and plan it in. I was shooting a feature this summer and it was hot hot hot and I made sure found time every day to get to the swimming and it felt great. I came back and saw the others sweating away and I thought. This is awesome. One thing to consider too is that sometimes in the morning I’ll go for a swim, then shower, wash my hair and get ready there - before heading in to work. At other times I’ll fit it into a lunch or shooting break. I also try and find hotels if I’m shooting away from home that have their own pools. And even if you are in one of those crazy shooting schedules, you can still plan for a swim on a day off. It’s entirely possible to get a swim in, even with crazy long shooting days, if you put your mind to it.   And it is available in many places – although I appreciate it may not be easily available to all of you wherever you are on the planet.   Let me just add that many local councils or governing bodies do deals for regular swimmers. Glasgow charges a hefty £4.50 per swim but only £15 a month to swim in any one of their many facilities.   Call To Action   So have I convinced you? I hope so. Your call to action this week is to put a swim bag together of your swimsuit or shorts, a towel, goggles, shampoo or whatever you need to go for a swim and put it in your car or leave it by your front door.   At a point of your choosing within the next 7 days I ask you to take the plunge – literally – and go for a swim. When you get back home, I want you to hang your stuff up to dry and the next morning I want you to put it back in your bag and leave it once more by the door or in your car.   Build the habit of swimming as often as you can, and reap the benefits that it will bring you. Then check back in on me via social networking and let me know how you are getting on.   Ending   In the next episode, I’ll be talking in detail about habit-forming technique called Elephant Habits but I’ll finish today's show with the words of Aldous Huxley There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. Now - take control of your own destiny, keep on swimmin’, and join me next time on Film Pro Productivity. • The music you can hear right now is Adventures by A Himitsu • You can view the show notes for this episode on the official website filmproproductivity.com • You can follow my personal account on Twitter and Instagram @fight_director or follow the show on Twitter @filmproprodpod or on Facebook @Filmproproductivity • Please support the show by subscribing, spreading the word and leaving an AWESOME review.   References: http://www.hamiltonhealthandfitness.com/17-major-health-and-mental-benefits-of-swimming-daily/ https://www.trifind.com/blog/swim-every-day-top-5-reasons/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdJEqtm1FHs https://www.swimming.org/justswim/8-benefits-of-swimming/ https://www.elitedaily.com/wellness/swimming-challenges-body-results/1546014   Thanks: A Himitsu Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsuCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Lisa Thal is an Author, Speaker, and Life Coach.  She wrote the book, "Three Word Meetings" for you.  A Simple Strategy to Engage, Inspire, and Empower Your Team.  Lisa helps provide fun and interesting 3-word topics to get your sales team motivated and inspired. It is guaranteed to save you time and have your team more engaged during the sales meeting. Make an impact on those you lead by using 3 words! This episode helps you shift "I Can't" to " I Can and I Will"! Has anyone told you that you cant do something? How did you respond to those words: You Can't?   Well, I experienced those words many times throughout my life. Sometimes these words can tend to stay with us. I had to ask myself, was what that person was saying to me right?  Was it possible, I couldn't do?  Should I believe the words of others?   What I learned from that experience you can apply to everything you want to achieve.   3 Key takeaways:   Motivation-  Use those words to inspire yourself to do it.  Your mindset must shift to I can and watch me.  Remember,  you limit yourself not others.   Strategy - Develop a plan and timeline to achieving what you have envisioned for yourself.   Action -  This is so critical and most people have the motivation and a strategy and fall short because they didn't apply the action necessary to achieve their goal.  Step outside your comfort zone and focus on the growth you will experience for staying rising above your fear and keep reiterating, I Can and I will!   Stay in pursuit of your happiness and dreams.  Remember, You Can and You Will!    I invite you to share this podcast with others so they too can realize their dreams and visions.

Emily Harman, the host of Onward Podcast, interviews Rodney Flowers, Founder and President of Inspirational Endeavors, LLC. Rodney shares how he worked hard to move onward after a high school football injury left him completely paralyzed, incapacitated, and confined to a wheelchair at age 15. Rodney is the author of the life-affirming and highly-inspiring Amazon bestselling book, Get Up! I Can’t. I Will. I Did…Here’s How!  Rodney’s mission is to serve as an example to inspire, motivate, and encourage others to never give up and reach for their hopes and dreams with earnest expectations, regardless of challenges. Rodney is also a keynote speaker, resilience trainer, and host of The Game Changer Mentality podcast.    Episode Highlights:  Emily Harman introduces Rodney Flowers.  Rodney explains what motivates him to keep charging ahead in his life. How did Rodney Flowers get injured?  How long was Rodney hospitalized?   Who were his caregivers at that time?  What helped Rodney develop a mindset of possibility?  How long did it take Rodney to get out of the wheelchair and how did he do it? Rodney talks about his commitment to fitness and the books he has authored. Rodney starts his day the day before by writing the 6 critical things he wants to accomplish the next day. How did it feel when Rodney took his first step?  What is the best way to not offend a person with disabilities when you want to help?  Rodney explains how his mother and family motivated him to become more independent using tough love. Who are other game changers that have motivated Rodney?    3 Key Points: Rodney’s work revolves around finding answers to this question: How can we live better, more fulfilled lives regardless of the scars of our past and the setbacks of our present? The majority Rodney’s battle was mental not physical. Think about what you can do and focus on that. Don’t fixate on what you can’t do. Practice what you can do over and over again. Your past is part of you story, but it doesn’t define who you are. An extraordinary life is waiting for you just over the horizon of your self-defeating beliefs, your doubts, and your excuses. You can develop a Game Changer mentality! Tweetable Quotes: “Showing up makes a difference. What I do every day makes a difference. Giving of myself. Being that example of what is possible. It makes a difference for someone. It drives me forward.” – Rodney Flowers “A team of neurologists visited my bedside to pass along my diagnosis. My diagnosis was quadriplegic. I was completely paralyzed. I had no movement or sensation in any of my extremities. And the doctor said I had a 92% chance of remaining that way for the rest of my life.” – Rodney Flowers “I developed a strong belief in God. I started looking at what is possible. That was really the game-changing element of all of this: what is possible? Because you want to recover. You want to walk again. You want to live the life that you had.” – Rodney Flowers Resources Mentioned: Linkedin: Rodney Flowers Rodney’s website  Order Rodney’s books!  Book: “Get Up!: I Can't. I Will. I Did...

“Your biggest regrets are the things you never try .” - Sure, we all can think of things we want to achieve, but how many of us are intentionally setting & taking action on goals? On this week’s episode of the #ThriveDailyPodcast, Ed Byler, a recurring guest on the show, walks us through how to practically set, execute, and achieve our goals. - Listen all the way through… and as always, make sure to subscribe to the #ThriveDailyPodcast too! - Make sure to show Ed some major love! Here’s how you can connect with us: - *Ed Byler* Instagram: @hairfails101 Podcast: The Climb (all platforms) *Jaben Starnes* Instagram: @jabenstarnes YouTube: @jabenstarnes Facebook: @jabenstarnes - This week’s *”Make It Happen” Challenge* is to eliminate the “I CAN’T afford it” mentality

I’ll TRY. I CAN’T. MAYBE I can do this. These are all feared-based words that people use when they truly don’t believe they will ever get good at something (and lack the skills to make it work). Today, join my good friend Greg and myself as we go over the main block to people’s success: the word I’ll “try” and the lack of actions that come with it.

We all have fears… Things that could happen, might happen again, probably won’t happen. Most of which are things that we can’t really do anything about. We don’t know the future but for whatever reasons our minds have to go there anyway. And, when we do… our usual response to fear is: I MUST or I CAN’T. Fight or flight. But, good news! There’s another choice… Fear doesn’t have to control us or paralyze us. Listen or watch as we launch into our Becoming series with our first episode, diving right in: FAITH.

CLICK HERE to join the Bad Bitches Losing Weight Facebook Group   I always say, "I wouldn't run from the COPS"...     I kind of hate running, but on occasion, I do run. I run for my mind, not my body.   Running is a mind-game anyways. If you can master your thoughts, even the most out of shape person can run for a shockingly long time.   Running is not unlike a weight loss journey in that way....if you can manage your thoughts, you can stay the course.   That seems to be the hardest part, right? Managing your thoughts aka "mindset".   I'm sure you are having thoughts in your head that are telling you, "This is hard. I can't do this. I don't deserve this. I suck everything. Why can't this work for me?"   This is so extremely important that you get this....   The thoughts that you have make you feel a certain way and then those feelings make you act a certain way. The problem is, you've got so many damn thoughts running through your head you don't even notice they are there. They are just stories you tell yourself that you assume them to be reality.   "I CAN'T lose weight"   "I CAN'T get motivated"   "I CAN'T be consistent"   "I DON'T deserve more than this"     Those thoughts, ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ are what is making your weight loss journey hard.   So how do you change your thoughts when you aren't even entirely sure what's running in the background of your brain?       The answer is SHOCKINGLY simple.... don't use your brain to think -------> USE YOUR GUT         I seriously could not think of metaphor......   While I was running today, I approached the T in the road where I had to make a decision.   If I turned right, I would be just two blocks from my home.   If I turned left, I would have been on the path to run at least another mile which would have pushed me to run further than I had in over two years.     While running up to that T in the path my mind is coming up with all sorts of reasons I should turn right (the easy route).     "If I go home now, I'll have more time to shower and get ready."   "You've already ran this far. That's enough, right?"   "It's hot out and you don't have water. Aren't you thirsty?"     But then there was another thought, but this one didn't come from my head, it came from my gut. My gut fucking screaming to me and telling me to go left each.   Yes, it is true that our thoughts create the way we feel which creates the way we behave and thus gives us the results that it does. That's all 100% true...   BUT, we don't just think with our brains. We can also think with our guts.     Think about it, how many times have you said, "Damn it! I wish I trusted my gut!".     This is your animal instinct inside each and every one of us.   You are reading this right now because you know, from your gut, that you are meant for more, and you are not showing up in that way.... but your gut is telling you that you know that there is a fucking queen inside you. You're going to have to listen to your gut and the queen is going to reward you. You're going to become the woman that you are meant to be.       But the last piece of advice I want to leave you with today is...   when you trust you gut and tune in, 99.9% of the time the answer is going to "feel harder" because it's the scarier of the two options, it's the path least taken.   So when you're choosing to listen to the queen in your gut, she's going to push you.   This is going to be new.   But you must trust the queen. She will reward you.   XO, Melissa Subscribe to the Bad Bitches Losing Weight Podcast: thehonestweigh.com/podcast Join the Facebook Group: thehonestweigh.com/facebook Current Program: thehonestweigh.com/macros

At times we all reach the point of "I Can't" in our lives. But when we feel broken and like saying we're done, remember: God is not done with us – because whatever we can't do, God still can! He always has more for us when we choose to follow Him fully. In the second teaching of our four-part January series, "I'm Done... My Anti-Resolution," Pastor Jason Berry draws parallels between what God changed in Moses in the desert and what God can change in us in our own wildness moments.  Where is your wilderness? In your marriage? Your career? Your finances? Your health? Embrace the weakness of "I Can't" so that you can embrace the strength of "God Can."

-The Evolution of Healing- In this episode, I take you through the evolution in my belief system around healing. I explain how I went from relying on western medication, discovering food as medicine, to unlocking my innate healing ability and understanding the mind-body connection. I also explain how and why we project this ability to heal onto others- like doctors + medication. ALL the passion comes out in this one and I CAN'T wait for you to listen. This episode is the biggest reminder that- Everything you need is WITHIN you, xx Chlo Find me here: Facebook: www.facebook.com/thebohoboujeegoddess Free Community: www.facebook.com/groups/thebohoboujeegoddess Instagram: www.instagram.com/chloeelizabeth.co YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCj4Pnuew8DkVrmFLW3d44CQ 

“Don’t confuse I CAN’T and I WON’T.” — Rob Gilbert

Regulative Principle of Worship:“The acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by Himself and so limited by His own revealed will that He may not be worshipped according to the imaginations and devices of men or the suggestions of Satan under any visible representation or any other way not prescribed in Holy Scripture.”Cumulative Principle of Worship:”Any way we see worship expressed through Scripture is available to us in our private and public demonstrations of worship.”Examples of Each:- These are the things I CAN’T do because I don’t see them in the Bible (Regulative Principle)- These are the things I CAN do, because I see them in the Bible. (Cumulative Principle)The Cumulative Principle allows us to look through the Bible and examples of worship, and get an idea of what God sees as pleasing acceptable worship.It’s less about what we CANNOT do in worship, and more about what is good, true, pleasing, pure, lovely, and acceptable unto God. (Philippians 4:8)

Some psychics don’t believe spirit guides even have names. But in hundreds of readings, I've received names, and given them out to clients. Sometimes the names themselves are messages. Because of the feedback, signs, and synchronicities that occur, I choose to continue sharing this information. In this episode, I share ways in which you can experience these phenomena for yourself. MENTIONED ON THE SHOW Wattpad.com Contacting Your Spirit Guides 101 Free Talking to Your Spirit Guides Tutorial Messages from Your Guides Guided Meditation HOST LINKS - SLADE ROBERSON Slade's Books & Courses Get an intuitive reading with Slade Automatic Intuition FACEBOOK GROUP Shift Your Spirits Community BECOME A PATRON https://www.patreon.com/shiftyourspirits Edit your pledge on Patreon TRANSCRIPT I name everything. Names are the way that I interact mentally, intellectually, psychically, emotionally, with things that even might not ordinarily have names. For instance, computers, my cars, certain trees that I see on a regular basis that I have an affinity for. With something like computers, for example, someone posted about this in the group the other day, asking a question about why their relationship with technology was so terrible. There was a lot of cursing and a lot of hatred towards the computer. And it made me really aware of my own relationships with computers. I adore my computers. I think of them as artificial intelligence versions of guides. Computers are the way that I live my life. It enables me to have the career that I do, to interact with people, to maintain my friendships. A lot of my life is lived abstractly in a digital realm, as I'm sure yours is too. To me, especially with it being such a huge part of my work, my computers are like trusty steeds must have been to people 200 years ago. Your horse was everything. Maybe that's more getting into the realm of what your car is. But for me, my computers, they're not living things. They're not pets. They're not pet rocks. I don't think of them as being spirit entities or alive in any way. I do think that they're the first glimmer of an emerging artificial intelligence that we will probably interact with in our lifetimes. So I've already got a lot of practice interacting with them. But I give different computers names, partly so that I can keep track of them in my file system. Especially on my back-up drives. I can tell where certain documents would have been in time, based on which computer I was using for those few years. So there'll be almost a theme within my life and the computers' names sometimes represents that, from that time period. I give my computers powerful names. The current computer that I'm working on right here as we speak has a very powerful guardian angel protector's name. And for some reason, I feel like I shouldn't say what that is. It's really personal and private and for psychic security reasons and physical security reasons, I'm not gonna tell you what my computers' names are. But they do have names. You know, they're comparable to people's names or superhero names or angelic entities' names. I always imbue them with this powerful, wonderful personality, as if they're genies in bottles, or guardian angels. That type of vibe. That's how I see them. So maybe that's one of the reasons why I have a good relationship with technology or maybe it's the other way around. My relationship with technology comes first, and then that allows me to have the warm fuzzies about technology. I can't really tell you. So the idea of your spirit guides having individual names, it's something that's been around in my consciousness for about 15 years, as far as it being something out there that was talked about. I remember years ago, as many of you may, watching Sylvia Browne on Montel Williams and answering questions from the audience. People would often stand up and ask her, 'What's my guide's name?' And she would just throw these names out there. Also, when I first started blogging, it was one of the things that I blogged about most. Was this experience that I had of retrieving these names for these entities that were around me and how I kind of named them and interacted with them, the same way that I'm talking about my computers. And I can remember at the time that there was a lot of argument in the blog comments of my blog and my peers. There's some people that are respected peers and colleagues of mine who do not believe in spirit guides having names. Part of the philosophy is that they may exist in a realm in which the concept of human language is just completely not even there. Therefore their name might be some unintelligible, ungraspable concept that we don't even have the sensory ability to process. And I think that's true. So I do think that the idea of spirit guide names down here in this realm is very much an imposed concept. The same way that we impose the concept of time on something that is really kind of impossible to understand fully, but we have a system of dividing up and naming time, and the passing of time, and our brains can wrap around that. So there is something similar that's happening with spirit guide names I believe. So let me just take that for the record. It's something that we use down here in the physical world as people, specific to our language and culture and personality. Out there, in the wider, multiple dimensions of the Universe, the concept may fall apart or become more complex or multi-faceted, in some way. It doesn't really impact our use of it here and now. So that's the reason why I'm good with it. I also always simply got names. If anybody asks me, 'Hey, you pick up a name from my spirit guide?' I pretty much always have something. Something comes through. I've just always gotten names. And I've always been hyperfocused on names and name origins and name meanings. I think it has something to do with the fact that I have an unusual name. A not-common name. My name is more common in the UK as a last name. Growing up, the little license plates that you get for your bicycle, they never had Slade on them. Even baby name dictionaries. When I was a kid, I would go and look to see if they had my name and wanting to know what it meant. And my name was never in those dictionaries. I was 20 years old before I ever found a baby name dictionary with my name in it. And I was in the UK at the time that I ran across it. I bought it and I still have it. It is one of the only print books that I still use almost on a daily basis. And if you've ever been on camera with me on Skype or Zoom or something like that, you have probably seen me twist around and reach for it and pull it out when we start talking about names. Names are always a component of the assessment that we do in the Automatic Intuition program. So I started out doing readings really by doing spirit name readings. I was talking about my guides and who was who, and how I kind of interacted with them and writing about that. People started writing to me and asking me if I could pick up on a name for their spirit guide. And this was an uncanny amount of emails that I got that were ALL the same question. So I remembered Sylvia Browne passing out her spirit guide names and I thought, Well, if it's good enough for Sylvia, it's good enough for me. And so I started doing the spirit guide name readings. That was really the first kind of psychic reading that I ever did for other people, if you don't count interpreting someone's chart, which, even though it was astrology, sometimes I think my intuition would play a part in how I would explain someone's chart to them. Back to the spirit guide name readings. They were email readings. They were really simple. And I remember thinking, Well, Sylvia, how do we really know that you're not just randomly pulling names out of a hat? Not that I necessarily thought that about her, but I can see how other people might think that. And I thought, I've gotta put something else in these readings so that people understand that I'm really tuned in to them individually. So that it helps them to accept like, yeah, this is a name that I got for YOU. I didn't just flip a book open and cover my eyes and pick a name at random and email it to you. I actually really tuned in and listened. In finding out what your spirit guide's name was, I would also pick up on impressions about you in your personality, and what you were like. I started to include this little personal identification section in all those readings to let people know, kind of like, 'Hey, this is you.' And if you resonate with this as being true, then that helps you to accept the other pieces of information going along with this. So that's really how my psychic readings grew. Because as I started to get feedback from the readings, the feedback started to be more and more about the other things that I was picking up about people and those details tended to grow. Over time, some of the spirit guide name information took a backseat to much more pressing questions. If people are gonna spend the time and the money to talk to me, there are often things that they care about here in the real world that they want to talk about a lot more than something that's kind of ethereal and unable to be proven. And maybe neither here nor there. So I saw that drop off a little bit over time. It still surprises me though, that it's always kind of there for the asking if anybody wants to know. I don't make a big point of forcing that on anyone unless they express an interest in it. Long story short, I get names. And I give them. And I continue to give them out because of the feedback that goes along with them. There's a LOT of different ways that specific names and words pop up for me. As a clairaudient, as a claircognizant, intuitive, it often comes tumbling out in normal conversation. I'll try to give you some examples of different ways that this manifests for me. But more than anything, I would give people names and they would have some kind of association with them. And weirdly, my names never produced associations with people who've passed away. I very rarely have experiences doing mediumship. But I have had some very interesting experiences with doing mediumship. So I'm trying not to say I don't do that. Because there is some indication that I can. It's just not something I'm presented with as often. Here's a story I've never told anyone before. So my nephew who is 18 months old at the time of this recording, his name is Hayden. And that name is a name that exists in my journals as far back as being a teenager. And you know how you have that kind of list of names, Oh, if I ever have a kid, I want to name him this, or I really like this name for a girl. You probably had that thought at some point. Some of you may have pretty elaborate lists around that. I wonder how many of those names that you want to name your kid when you're 10 actually end up being the names that you name your kid. Or if you veer off in a completely different direction when there's another person involved in getting to choose a name. So that name, I didn't really know that it was necessarily like, Ooo, if I have a son, I'm gonna name him this. Because I didn't really ever have a conception that I would have children. I just really like that name and for me. I had names for characters in fiction. That was something that I was always kind of brainstorming, is cool ideas for names for characters. Sometimes the names would come first and I'd be like, That's a really cool name for a female ninja or whatever. Then I would elaborate and grow the character from the name. So this name Hayden was really significant to me throughout my teen years. And when I was 19, I actually wrote a story about a real experience that I had with a spirit in my freshman dorm room. And for the purposes of the story, I needed to disguise what the real name was. So I wanted to give him another name. So in that piece of fiction, I used the name Hayden for that spirit. And I worked on that story for many years. It grew and over time, it was something that I came back to maybe five or six years ago. I pulled it out and started looking at it again and thought, You know, there's something there. There's some bones of a good story. One of the things though that I decided after working on it, and this was about five years ago. It's in the Cloud Busting universe, if you've read the novel Cloud Busting, it actually would be sort of a prequel to that story. It's a story leading up to that summer for that character. The spirit, Hayden, was very much a spirit that was waiting to be born into flesh again. And was actively probably pursuing and trying to manipulate people in some way in order to inhabit flesh again and to come in. So there was a little bit of darkness around it. And I shelved that project even after working on it again, decades later. I was like, Okay, I like the story but that name is not creepy enough for me. It's not dark enough. I need to come up with another name for that spirit character. In the meantime, set it aside and thought, you know, I'll come back to it if it wants to be come back to. Then a couple of years ago, my brother and sister-in-law got pregnant. And they started talking about the names that they were going to choose for their child. And the first thing that they said, 'If it's a boy, his name's going to be Hayden.' And I was like, Oh crap! That's a weird synchronicity. I actually told her and my brother a little bit about it without getting too deep into what that character represented in my story. Because my brother's pretty sensitive and I think he's more psychic than I am. But he does not like to talk about these things and is a little bit more creeped out by it, whereas I'm like super into it. It makes him uncomfortable and I was worried that if I told him, like, 'Yeah, that was the name of an evil spirit in a story that I wrote,' that it would creep them out and make them not want to use the name. Because I really loved the name and I thought, Yeah that's a really cool name for him! So I did tell her, my sister-in-law, 'You know what? It's really crazy. I have journal entries going back to my teen years where I talk about my love for that name.' And she said, 'That's really cool. Okay. That's enough of a confirmation for me.' And they did end up naming him that. So that's just an example of one of these really charged scenarios that I've had with names that stretches out over years and years and years. I also get really difficult bizarre names that I don't even really think I've ever heard before. And you would think, it's one thing to tell someone that they have a spirit guide named John, right? And tell them, 'Oh, yes, you're gonna see signs everywhere that that's your spirit guide's name.' That's a pretty easy one. Actually, I don't think I've had a lot of Johns. I actually have had a lot of Marys though, as spirit guide names, and connection to Mother Marys. That's another issue. Usually there are extra signs that go along with Mary that let us know it's her. But just to give you an example of one of these really bizarre ones that happened recently. Seth and I were texting and I sent him this silly picture. It's a meme of a cat that tried to turn into a peacock and it's sort of half cat, half peacock. It said something about a shapeshifting fail or something like, when you're shapeshifting fails but you still look fabulous. And it's this picture of this cat/peacock. I sent it to him because we have an ongoing magical practice of creating this menagerie of fairy animals. It's something that we play with and talk about. So I sent him this picture and he said something about, 'Oh, I think that's my spirit animal!' And was asking me, 'What do you think the guide's name is?' I said, 'Clytemnestra.' Which he then began to explain to me that he was (and Seth if I get this wrong, sorry) something to the effect of, he was standing outside in a parking lot trying to photograph a rainbow or storm or something, and was having a conversation with someone about Greek goddesses. Clytemnestra is either the daughter of a goddess or god or something. But anyway, that name is part of classical literature. I think she may be in the Midea, or one of those old plays or something. So it's definitely a name that I've heard before. It's buried in my psyche somewhere. But there was this really weird synchronicity where I pulled this Greek goddess' name out of thin air at the moment that he's kind of having this interaction with another person about that. So that's just an example of an every day occurrence that will happen with these names that come to me. One of the best confirmations that I ever got for a client reading... When I give a client a spirit guide name in the context of a reading, whether that's the focus of the reading or just an incidental piece of information, I always ask for them to have clarification. And together we call in or invoke synchronicities and signs of affirmation from that spirit that we do have their name right. That can take very mundane forms. Just, okay, for the next few days you have this surge of seeing that name everywhere. Or you interact with somebody at Starbucks and the name's on their name tag. Or you look up at the television and there's a name on the screen and someone's talking and that's their name. You see these little winks and synchronicities in your daily life where that name is being highlighted. And that's the kind of expectation that I have without giving them too much detail about what to look for. But just letting them know, you know what? You'll get some confirmations around the name. So this particular client was an ex-pat living in Italy at the time of her reading. We pulled through this name. I don't even remember if it was an Italian name. It could have been a polish name. It was a surname. It was very complex and unusual. I can't even remember what it is right now but it was... I imagine some kind of Czech or Polish or Italian name that's not Smith. Something really unique. A name that I never specifically heard before. I kind of tried to spell it for her. I remember joking with her and saying, telling her the thing about getting the feedback on the name and I was like, 'This is probably not gonna happen for you. I CAN'T imagine how it could.' This is a tall order, but we'll see what happens. She was laughing about it too. Like, 'Yeah, that's never gonna happen.' I got an email from her half an hour later. After getting off the phone from the reading with me, she went downstairs and went to a cafe. She grabbed a couple of newspapers and got her coffee. She sat down at a little table outside and she flipped the newspaper over. On the front page was a story about this Italian porn film director who had just been busted for money laundering or child porn or whatever. It was like this big scandal that was in the newspaper. And that was his name. And she was like, Okay it's kinda weird that it's a porn director. But the synchronicity of that is too amazing. So that was one of the ones that I was just like, Okay, I am forever going to give out whatever name that I get, because obviously there's something to it. And actually that's kind of my attitude at this point. I don't KNOW how it works. I just know that it DOES work, so I'm just going to continue doing it until I decide otherwise. You kind of have to go with the name that you're given. At least until you investigate. Because I remember telling her, 'Oh, you might want to shorten that or turn it into a nickname or something if it makes it easier for you to work with that name.' To willfully change it is definitely something that can be an option, but wait and see what comes up for the name that you DO get. People are often disappointed by the names of their guides. It's not always me giving them out. For instance, in the attunement meditation that we do in the beginning of the Automatic Intuition program, you retrieve your own guide's name during the meditation. So even still, people come to me with like, 'Okay, this is kind of a dorky name but this is what I got.' I kind of call it George the Asian immigrant phenomenon. It's like, you know how you can be in one culture, say in America where we speak English and someone will immigrate to our country from a very different language system, like Chinese or Japanese or something that is not even as close as a European name. Something really from a different part of the world. They will often adopt English names for a variety of reasons: to make it easier for people to say their name, or to represent symbolically their new American identity. Whatever it might be that that is a common practice that they will take on a name that they feel is Americanized in some way. And the names that they choose are always kind of funny, right? They don't go with them. We sort of giggle when we see this man from East Asia whose name is George or Eugene or something kind of off and it doesn't seem to go with what he looks like or whatever. So I think sometimes the guides are doing something similar. I don't think they 100% have the ability to grasp the nuances of our language and experience in the dimension we're in. So they choose these things kind of like they're trying to assimilate a little bit. So they end up choosing things that sound a little funny to us. So that could be one component of it. Something that I found, especially during readings is that the names can often be a message in themselves. Like the names can be conveying something conceptual or thematic to the client. And so I always like to look up names in the moment. Like I said, I turn around and I reach for my little dictionary. I pull it out and I say, 'You know what? Let's look that name up.' You can also google 'Name meaning: (whatever the name is)' and you'll get information about the name origin and what it means, whether or not it's a boy's name, all that kind of stuff. With reading clients, sometimes they already have a significant association with the name. Like, maybe the name I pull through for the spirit guide IS that name that they're like, 'Ohmygod, I always wrote in my diary that I was gonna have a son named that.' Or whatever. It's kind of fun to play with, okay, what is the message that is buried in the etymology, in the complexity of this name's history? You don't always know that at first blush. So there is an intellectual, academic component to doing a little bit of research around the names to get some additional meaning. And there's often significance and synchronicity within that. So to give you an example, sometimes my clients really hate the names that I pull through for them. I had a hair stylist one time who got a reading with me. She was so pissed that her spirit guide's name was Oliver that she berated me about it, like, went off on this tirade about the name and how ridiculous it was. I remember being a little offended in the moment because weirdly enough, my hair stylist had a baby infant son named Oliver. So I felt this weird kind of offense on behalf of her, that this other woman was making fun of the name. I tried to just be like, 'Well, it's what I got. You don't have to like it. You can certainly give him another one if you want to. But I have to stick by and trust that there's a reason why I am picking up on that name. Because if often proves true.' I told her a little bit about the history of what I'm telling you about doing these readings. So she got off the call in a huff, and I really even thought for a moment, I almost want to give her a refund. Just to disconnect from her energy and I just like, if you're THAT unhappy with the reading, then forget it! Let's just call the whole thing off. I can't remember if I did give her a refund or not. But it was like a really bad interaction. Like it went down really bad. Have only ever had two or three of that kind of episode ever happen with anyone. So I have to tell you, I get an email from her months and months and months later, apologizing to me. And she told me that, again, she's a hair stylist, and she has, up on her station, a little collection of framed images around hair styling stuff or whatever. One of the images is her framed license that she has to display. And then she had some other cool old barbershop pictures or something like that. And so she told me, she said, 'One of the pictures is signed, has someone's autograph at the bottom of it or it has a name in ink indicating that that's the person in the picture.' And it was like, Little Happy Barber from 1910, or whatever. And she wrote to tell me that his name was Oliver. And that that name was written in ink, on a photograph that had hung at her station for years, before I ever even did the reading for her and since. So I was like, Wow. Okay. Glad I stuck to it and didn't back down from it. One of my favourite stories about guide names actually happened with one of my mentoring clients named Kristina. Kristina has had a long history of doing energy work. She's a healer. She's very successful at it and has had a practice for a long time. But when she came to start working with me, one of the things that she really wanted to develop was her ability to do readings, meaning, read the client, communicate to them the phenomenon that she was observing. Because as she explained it to me, she could move the energy and she could heal energy and release it and clear it and do all kinds of things. But she could not explain it to someone, have a conversation around it, put into words. It just.. It confounded her. So that was one of the things she wanted to work on. So as we are doing her assessment, her attunement session, which is the first session that we do in Automatic Intuition, I have everyone tell me their experience with the attunement. They walk me through it like it's a dream that they had. I take notes and there are neurolinguistic clues in the word choice that they use in addition to the symbolism that they bring through that tells me things about their abilities and how their abilities are wanting to manifest, where their blocks are and all that kind of stuff. So during that session, she told me that the name that she retrieved for her Akashic Record guide was Rhonda. And she kind of giggled about it and I giggled about it too because Rhonda is the name of my dental hygienist since I'm 14 years old. I've had the same hygienist and her name's Rhonda. So when you say the name Rhonda to me, I picture this sweet little blonde lady in scrubs. Krstina was joking about the fact that Rhonda doesn't really sound like a guide's name. It's not something exotic or profound or biblical or anything like that. And so we were kind of giggling about it and we went on with the session. We were continuing to discuss other things and then I remembered, Ooo, Rhonda. Let's look her up in the name dictionary! I'm just curious what that might mean. Oh! The one other thing I forgot to tell you about this whole issue that she was having with being able to vocalize the stuff that she sees, throughout the entire process of her telling me her attunement experience, she was clearing her throat and coughing. And I said, 'You definitely are blocked in the throat chakra.' Your ability to speak and to access your voice is an issue for you. Like you're actually struggling to have a conversation with ME about it.' So we got out the baby name dictionary and I said, 'Let's just see what Rhonda means.' And Rhonda means Voice. We both just died, screaming on the phone, like chills up and down our body, like, NO WAY, right? So that kind of thing does happen a lot around these names. So I think of names as being significant. Partly for the message and the symbolism and the theme that they might bring through that represents something about your lessons and your Purpose. Does it help you to focus or invoke spirit by calling on these helpers? If having that name helps you interact in a ritualistic way or, like I said, sort of wrap your mind around something that's harder to wrap the mind around, then by all means, I think the name can be sort of a shorthand. It's like a magic spell or mantra. A lot of people will go down this rabbit hole of wanting to do, kind of like a full spirit guide and guardian panel, and bios on every single entity and what they do and what their name is, where they come from and all that kind of stuff. And I think this is something that we all go through as we start to uncover this and explore it. It may be kind of like a phase that you go through, where you're like, Okay, I want to know who EVERYONE is, and you can definitely work on that. You can find that out. You can investigate. You can get the guides to talk to you more to communicate about the others through meditations and automatic writing sessions. All kinds of things. I would've thought, because I went through that phase early on in doing these readings and everything, that THAT would have become more complex and complicated over time. Like, the further I go in this process, the more I'm going to delve in and learn about all these different people. And I'm just going to be populating this dimension full of entities and who they are and what they do. The weird thing is, just the opposite has happened for me. Over time, it's all kind of collapsed together and become more vague and more rolled all up into a little bubble, and I just think about the bubble. I don't break the bubble apart and go into all the little molecules that are inside there. I just go, Yup, there's my bubble. I think of my guides as kind of a single group entity, not unlike the way that I'm speaking to you right now. I can sense there are thousands of you listening and it's like a crowd that morphs between being an individual person and then being this multi-soul thing at the same time. So there's a similar feeling to me with the concept of audience with the guides. I kind of have this guardian angel spirit that I've been aware of longest in my lifetime. She goes all the way back to childhood for me and I guess she's technically what we would call an Asher or the personal guardian angel spirit that we tell little kids that they have. I just like her. I just like talking to her and I have been addressing her as an individual among my guides for so long that whenever I want to talk to my guides, I kind of have a tendency just to talk to her with the understanding that the others are listening, that she has the ability to pass on and delegate, and that they can figure it out amongst themselves. So I either talk to her or I talk to them as a group. That's usually the way that I interact with them, at this point. So you may be wondering how to get your guides names and I think the easiest thing to do is just ask. Especially if you feel a presence, or you're meditating or trying to communicate with your guides and calling them in. Ask for a name. See what pops in your head. And also ask for, like I did with my clients, a confirmation in the real world about that name. And then you'll start to see those synchronicities letting you know, Hey, that's the name. Automatic writing is another way that you might retrieve that kind of detail. You can also just speak. Do dialoguing, if you set a voice recorder on your phone and just start channeling and speaking to your guides and asking them questions. Another exercise I like to do with people is, write a scene in which you are creating a "fictional" version of yourself who is a master psychic. Write a character for yourself as if it's in a novel or film and this psychic has a spirit guide that she communicates with and the guide's name is what? Pick a really cool name for that guide. It's another way to use the imagination to get at the intuition. Sometimes the things that you think you're imagining ARE intuitive impulses and again, there are feedback and signs from other people and external sources that will let you know when that's something intuitive. You can also get a reading! From anybody who does readings that might pick up a name for you and work with that. Again, ask for signs in the real world of affirmation. One thing that a lot of people ask me about this topic is why psychics might get a different name from you. For instance, you may have this name you retrieved on your own and then you go get a reading with someone. They come back to you and say, 'I talked to a guide and it was a different name.' I think one of the best ways to explain what could be happening there, because I don't want to tear down anybody's abilities. Somebody may have just talked to a different guide. You have lots of guides around you and the guide that I just said that I have a preference for communicating with is not a guide that's going to speak with someone who is a stranger. Who is external to me. Like, those guardian angel guides, those are LOCKED UP. They really present an imposing fortress of energy to anybody outside of you that's approaching them. Whereas you have this relationship with them. They're like a secret service agent that's following you around and you know them and you're comfortable with them. So they don't have the same impact. Psychics can't necessarily get at certain parts of your guide team, or your chart, or information about you. There could be reasons why you are keeping that close, or it's a security issue or a safety issue. So one of the ways to describe how this goes down is to think of the metaphor of a party. Let's say that there is a big surprise party for you. It's a birthday party and there are people there from your family. There are friends of yours from school. There are people there that you work with. They're all from these different kind of environments. Maybe I'm invited to this party and I go to this party. The person who's your best friend in the whole world may not be the person that I click with, or that I end up encountering. Or I might run into somebody really neat and end up in the corner having a great conversation with them and come away and be like, yeah, telling you about who I met at your party. The person that I interacted with the most and really clicked with and liked was somebody that you work with that you're not even really that close to. So it's a personality thing. That can be part of it. Another thing too is, if you send me into that party with a specific investigation around your job and career, then I'm going to move through the party and be like, Okay, who here works with my client? And I'm gonna get a small amount of people raising their hands. So I'm going to focus on communicating just with those people. Again, I may be talking to somebody that you work with, who knows things about you in that environment. Meanwhile, your best friend in the whole world that you've known since you were five, is on the other side of the room doing the macarena and wearing a lampshade on their head. Who knows. So just keep in mind that you do have multiple guides and different guides can connect to different psychics, depending on the time frame, what's going on with you. You could have something going on in your life that's making one of your guides more active. Like they're more at the forefront, driving a major issue that's going on. And so that might be the guide that presents forward when you get a reading. You know, at the end of the day, I want you to always defer to your own information. So if you retrieve information on your own and it's comfortable for you, and you have an emotional attachment to a particular guide, a particular name, then you go with that, you know? Somebody comes along and says you've got a guide that's got a different name, that's fine. Throw that person into the mix as a secondary guide and move on. Continue to practice and work with the name and the entity that you feel most connected with. If it doesn't empower you or make you feel more magical to talk to guides at all, then don't force it. I know there are a lot of people here who are smart people who think of these concepts in more symbolic, archetypal terms. More of a psychological, analytical, dream symbolism place. You can be both intellectual and a little bit woo-woo at the same time. That might allow you to access some of this information that you might otherwise dismiss as being ridiculous or far-fetched or something like that. So if it feels silly to you to have these imaginary friends, then what I suggest to you is that you begin to think of the concept of guides as archetypal programs. We all have tons of human archetypes that we work with and that we embody in different contexts, in different times in our life and in different sort of relationship scenarios. So think of these archetypal programs as being like apps you can download. Some apps you use more than others. You have apps that are downloaded on your phone that you've never opened up. Just because you don't care to check the stock market, or whatever it might be. But it is available to you should something change and you want to access that. So think about spirit guides, if it helps you, as these kind of archetypal programs that you can access and run. And that the guides are representing some facet of your experience as a human being. Maybe you, as the mother archetype. Maybe you, as the wounded child, the magician, the artist. All these different facets and components of human experience that we have to choose from. You can think of those as spirit guides that exist within the psyche. You technically have free will to do whatever you want with this concept, including change the names of your guides. Or give them names, if they aren't forthcoming. Maybe they just look at you with a blank stare like, I don't have a human name. Give them a nickname if you want. Go back through that list of what you wanted to name your kids when you grew up and pick a name for them. You know what's interesting? People rarely ask me their spirit guide names anymore. Even when I have them on the phone for an hour. So I kind of feel like now, having talked about this, I'm going to get that question a little bit more. And that's fine. It's something that we can always throw in and I always think, why doesn't anybody ever ask that? I could tell them, if they wanted to know. So if you want to know, go to sladeroberson.com.
