Hello and welcome to Keep Help Alive podcast.
00:00:05.533 --> 00:00:15.731
Today I have Allison Steinke with us and she's a health coach and we're going to be diving into her journey of what she does to help other people out in this world.
00:00:15.731 --> 00:00:18.545
So welcome, I'm so glad you came on.
00:00:18.545 --> 00:00:22.547
Thank you, oh, you are so welcome.
00:00:22.547 --> 00:00:24.469
Before we get started, allison, I have a question for you.
00:00:24.469 --> 00:00:24.913
Oh, you are so welcome.
00:00:24.913 --> 00:00:26.140
Before we get started, allison, I have a question for you.
00:00:27.181 --> 00:00:29.629
Say, a friend of ours was getting married.
00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:34.328
Okay, we were going to the wedding and reception and everything.
00:00:34.328 --> 00:00:44.845
And we're going to the ceremony part and we're walking in the door and to the right there was something there to sign to let them know that we actually showed up.
00:00:44.845 --> 00:00:46.787
What are we signing?
00:00:46.787 --> 00:00:49.030
A guest book?
00:00:49.030 --> 00:00:51.411
Yay, perfect, yes.
00:00:51.732 --> 00:00:56.216
So one of our biggest sponsors here is Life on Record and what they do.
00:00:56.216 --> 00:01:04.450
Instead of the guest book, they have a rotary phone that your guests can come pick up and leave a message for you.
00:01:04.450 --> 00:01:06.561
So it'd be like congratulations on your big day.
00:01:06.561 --> 00:01:10.352
Or maybe a groomsman gets it and says it's about time to put a ring on her finger.
00:01:10.352 --> 00:01:12.322
Right next to it.
00:01:12.322 --> 00:01:16.481
They have a QR code that you guess if they didn't want to pick up the phone and leave the message.
00:01:16.481 --> 00:01:21.802
That way they can scan that QR code, leave a message on their own mobile device.
00:01:21.802 --> 00:01:34.875
Now what's great is all these recordings get burned on a 10-inch vinyl record or you can put it on a keepsake speaker box and they're personalized and adorable.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.045
This goes good for any event.
00:01:37.045 --> 00:01:43.448
So I know I always bring it up for weddings, but corporate events, family reunions, proms, whatever it may be.
00:01:43.448 --> 00:01:49.706
I know I used it for when there was an accident on the football field and one of the kids broke his leg.
00:01:49.706 --> 00:01:55.867
All of the kids called in wishing him to get well, so he got those voice messages.
00:01:55.867 --> 00:01:57.790
So there's many different options.
00:01:57.790 --> 00:02:06.986
Their plans start at $99 for the phone number, so you've got to return the phone from the event, but the phone number you get to keep.
00:02:06.986 --> 00:02:10.289
And then it's just amazing.
00:02:10.289 --> 00:02:14.826
I love this concept because we never had this before and you keep hearing with events.
00:02:14.826 --> 00:02:21.832
There's different ways of doing things, but the phone is so classic and elegant and fun.
00:02:21.832 --> 00:02:24.943
I just wish I had one here with me right away to show it in my videos.
00:02:24.943 --> 00:02:32.533
And fun, I just wish I had one here with me right away to show it in my videos and everything, but you can visit Life on Record at wwwlifeonrecordcom.
00:02:32.533 --> 00:02:38.882
All right, so the biggest question of the show is who is Alison Steinke?
00:02:41.204 --> 00:02:42.243
Hi, yeah, I'm Allison.
00:02:42.243 --> 00:03:27.194
I live in Northern Canada and I'm a health coach and a holistic nutritionist, and my focus really stems from my story, which is one of coming out of long abusive marriage, grieving from that, changing my mindset, getting myself healthy, working on my unique like building routines that fit into my life according to my unique energy flow and personality and lifestyle and goals, and I feel like I'm thriving, I love life, I'm excited, even as a single mom with 11 kids, and so now I help other women to do, to do 11.
00:03:27.194 --> 00:03:39.867
Yeah, so now I help other other women to do the same thing, whether it's, you know, they've gone through divorce or they've just woken up after years of serving their family or pouring their lives into their careers.
00:03:39.867 --> 00:03:42.044
They're like, hey, I need to do something for myself.
00:03:42.044 --> 00:03:46.788
I need to, I need to get healthy, I need to change my mindset and really thrive instead of survive.
00:03:48.170 --> 00:03:51.549
Gotcha, yeah, it sounds like that journey that you went on.
00:03:51.549 --> 00:04:05.808
I've been married three times and I had to leave two of them for one reason or another, but when you find yourself again, that is the best.
00:04:05.808 --> 00:04:10.165
I mean that feeling of knowing who you are as a person.
00:04:10.165 --> 00:04:19.372
It helps you know, give you the structure of what your future is going to look like and, if you ever like, for me, I want to date again.
00:04:19.372 --> 00:04:25.172
But I have so many things I'm looking out for and I don't want to call them boundaries all the time.
00:04:25.172 --> 00:04:31.321
But there are stopping points Like I will not go past this, I will not be treated this way and stuff like that.
00:04:31.321 --> 00:04:42.726
So, but finding yourself and as a single mom, yes, making the time to sit down and really focus on what you want out of life is so important.
00:04:42.726 --> 00:04:50.350
It sounds like you are striving very much, so, so, but loving kids, girl, you got to tell me about that.
00:04:52.821 --> 00:04:59.086
Well, my oldest, well, my oldest two are adults, the youngest is three, so I have all ages.
00:04:59.086 --> 00:05:03.771
And at home school and it's always a party.
00:05:03.771 --> 00:05:04.814
Every day is a party.
00:05:04.814 --> 00:05:05.958
It's a lot of fun.
00:05:05.958 --> 00:05:06.639
It's a lot of fun.
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.266
It's a lot of work, but it is.
00:05:08.620 --> 00:05:12.891
And then, of course, with the weather in Canada, you probably are getting snow.
00:05:15.321 --> 00:05:17.709
Yeah, it's warm right now, but it's long winters.
00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:21.067
It feels like half the year is winter and it's ruling.
00:05:22.531 --> 00:05:26.348
Oh wow, you see, I couldn't do that, even though I'm from New Jersey.
00:05:26.348 --> 00:05:33.754
I mean, I've been in Texas for over 35 years and I mean it's very different.
00:05:33.754 --> 00:05:38.202
In Texas it was like 10 degrees last week and now 80 degrees.
00:05:38.202 --> 00:05:42.067
So it goes back and forth and people are always sick and coughing.
00:05:42.067 --> 00:05:45.170
And people are always sick and coughing, sneezing, we never know.
00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:50.776
I saw a bumblebee already and I was like I'm so confused here.
00:05:50.776 --> 00:05:56.913
What is it winter or spring?
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:59.521
I bet you, the bee was confused too.
00:05:59.521 --> 00:06:01.103
Yeah, has to be.
00:06:01.103 --> 00:06:01.944
What are they called?
00:06:01.944 --> 00:06:04.788
The little dandelion flowers?
00:06:04.788 --> 00:06:05.809
They like so much.
00:06:05.809 --> 00:06:09.593
I was like, okay, well, I got my son in spring football.
00:06:09.593 --> 00:06:14.641
So yeah, it's becoming spring, so all right.
00:06:14.641 --> 00:06:23.749
So helping other people, like when you were younger, is this something you knew you wanted to do and you just kind of followed those steps?
00:06:24.899 --> 00:06:27.009
No do, and you just kind of followed those steps.
00:06:27.009 --> 00:06:35.874
No um, I've always been interested in health, at least my entire adult life, and healthy you know nutrition and I've always liked helping people.
00:06:36.641 --> 00:06:37.603
Um, I went.
00:06:37.603 --> 00:06:42.841
I I was went to school for business, changed my mind, decided I wanted to go into psychology.
00:06:42.841 --> 00:06:48.750
So I went to university for a little bit, started to take psychology and then I met my husband and left school.
00:06:48.750 --> 00:06:55.649
But it wasn't until about five years ago or so that I really honed in on the health coaching.
00:06:55.649 --> 00:07:08.718
A friend of mine, who's a physician it was starting was going to start a holistic fertility clinic and she asked if I would work for her as a health coach and I said, absolutely, that's totally up my alley, I would love to do that.
00:07:08.718 --> 00:07:12.468
So at that point I got certified as a holistic nutritionist and a health coach.
00:07:12.468 --> 00:07:18.271
She did not end up starting her clinic after all she might in the future, I don't know.
00:07:18.271 --> 00:07:24.906
But it was okay because I just right before I got certified right after sorry I had my 11th child.
00:07:25.528 --> 00:07:33.300
Um, I was very busy so I wasn't something I really planned on building a business, marketing myself, all that.
00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:47.341
So I had some clients on and off over the years, but, um, it wasn't until after I left my husband and sort of finished grieving that I really decided this is what I want to do.
00:07:47.341 --> 00:07:48.744
I really want to help women.
00:07:48.744 --> 00:07:51.170
I really want to coach.
00:07:51.170 --> 00:07:56.591
I thought I wanted to get into writing, so I studied writing, but I only wanted to write for coaches.
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:04.305
And then one day I'm like you know it actually was funny is I ended up with a coaching client by accident and against my will.
00:08:04.305 --> 00:08:08.567
I was trying to sell her on copywriting and she's like no, I want coaching.
00:08:08.567 --> 00:08:15.279
So she's great, I love her, she's my ADHD coach and I'm her health coach.
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:29.271
We share trade services, but we've been together for months now and I said, oh yeah, this is what I'm supposed to be doing, this is what I'm made to do, this is what aligns with my strengths and my personality and how I was created.
00:08:29.271 --> 00:08:33.270
So I am so happy to be back in the space.
00:08:34.861 --> 00:08:36.609
See, I love hearing that from you.
00:08:36.609 --> 00:08:42.850
This is what my purpose is basically, and I was created to be here to help people.
00:08:42.850 --> 00:08:47.331
So now you mentioned ADHD, correct?
00:08:47.331 --> 00:08:58.913
So there's different things that you're coaching and I guess can you tell me about the range of different things you help people with?
00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:07.046
Well, I'm just a health coach because most of my kids have ADHD and I do and my ex-husband has it.
00:09:07.046 --> 00:09:14.530
I'm very familiar with ADHD and can help people who are neurodivergent.
00:09:14.530 --> 00:09:15.913
But that's not my expertise.
00:09:15.913 --> 00:09:36.625
I am a health coach and so within that is mindset's a big part of it, and nutrition and healthy habits, and you can't just make habits without addressing mindset, and sometimes the past comes up, sometimes emotional things come up, and so we work through those.
00:09:36.625 --> 00:09:37.020
That's all.
00:09:37.020 --> 00:09:38.145
That's all part of it.
00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:47.349
It's not just I don't tell people hey, this is what you're supposed to eat and this is how many times you have to exercise and this is what you have to do, because no one's going to stick to that.
00:09:47.349 --> 00:09:58.169
You know, it's really an individualized, personal thing for all of us and if we want to make changes that will last, it has to fit with who we are and fit our lifestyle.
00:09:58.169 --> 00:10:07.480
So I'm really really big on individuality and being judgment free and honoring people's differences and working with that instead of against it.
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:25.553
And I think I really feel that, especially because I do have ADHD and the neurotypical world has always said do that this way, clean your house this way, make habits this way, do this time of day, do this, do this, do this, and it's very hard for us to just cross off things on our to-do list.
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.730
It comes things have to come from a deeper motivation and fit our energy flow.
00:10:30.730 --> 00:10:46.831
So, like, certain time of day I have more mental energy, certain time of day I have more physical energy, and I've been able thankfully I'm in a career and a lifestyle where I can fit my schedule and my day into how my energy works so that I can be as productive as possible.
00:10:46.831 --> 00:10:55.746
So I think I was kind of forced into the space of really honoring and recognizing people's differences and making habits that work for them.
00:10:57.190 --> 00:10:59.253
That is amazing, I like that.
00:10:59.253 --> 00:11:19.750
Yeah, you got me thinking, you know, when you were just talking about that, like it's hard for me sometimes to like after a show is done, I had to go buy a whiteboard and I put, okay, I advertise the podcast here here here and do it in this routine because I've already timed it.
00:11:19.750 --> 00:11:29.475
That is about 50 minutes for me to process and get the podcast out and into the world of social media and stuff.
00:11:29.475 --> 00:11:34.532
So I was like if I go out of that or take a break, it ruins it.
00:11:34.532 --> 00:11:36.105
And that's just me.
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.095
The way I think is because I'm a perfectionist and I want it done.
00:11:40.095 --> 00:11:47.864
And I had my own photography company and the one thing people always ask well, when do I get to see the pictures?
00:11:47.864 --> 00:12:01.307
And it's like I'll give you a sneak peek and usually I would give them the link after I would edit each day at night it would be uploaded what's already done so they could see right away.
00:12:01.307 --> 00:12:08.462
And I was like when I start a podcast, they could see right away.
00:12:08.462 --> 00:12:11.292
And I was like, when I start a podcast, are they going to be wanting it very quick?
00:12:11.292 --> 00:12:12.576
And I was like, of course, I would want mine very quick.
00:12:12.596 --> 00:12:13.639
So I just put that in tune.
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:21.062
If I'm going to be a podcaster, I'm going to make sure they get it the same day or even the next day as a healthy habit.
00:12:21.062 --> 00:12:31.428
But I like the also what you said about you know you need to know this side of it before you can work on nutrition and stuff.
00:12:31.428 --> 00:12:32.451
Because that is so true.
00:12:32.451 --> 00:12:42.667
Because if this is not fixed, I mean we're already probably having a hard time eating to go with what's going on in our anxiety and our stress levels on a daily basis.
00:12:42.667 --> 00:12:56.379
So I guess my next question would be after you figure out what's happening, do you draw out like a map how to make it easier or what's the process?
00:12:56.620 --> 00:13:00.792
Well, I do have a program that clients can go through.
00:13:00.792 --> 00:13:02.326
It's step-by-step.
00:13:02.326 --> 00:13:03.826
This week we address your vision.
00:13:03.826 --> 00:13:09.533
This week we address, like these, different options, um, but there's an educational piece.
00:13:09.533 --> 00:13:15.311
But each session is client led, like what is burdening you, what's on your heart, what do you want to address today?
00:13:15.311 --> 00:13:21.753
And sometimes they'll start with one goal and pull things out like oh, there's actually.
00:13:21.932 --> 00:13:35.652
You know, I'm just trying to fit something into my routine, but I found that there's actually this very heavy like emotional reason why I have a block here, why I'm trying to do this, and so it's very individual.
00:13:35.652 --> 00:13:37.326
It's led by the client.
00:13:37.326 --> 00:13:44.589
I'm there to support them and to guide them, but I don't really dictate anything.
00:13:44.589 --> 00:13:50.345
Guide them, but I don't really dictate anything.
00:13:50.345 --> 00:13:54.260
I'm there to, yeah, just just to support and guide what they are trying to accomplish, what they are what's on their heart.
00:13:54.260 --> 00:14:04.851
Because if I tell them what they should be doing, it's not going to stick, it's not going to last If they're the ones who say this is what I want to do.
00:14:04.851 --> 00:14:05.936
This is a change, this is.
00:14:05.936 --> 00:14:07.279
They're the experts, everyone's.
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:14.253
I'm the expert of my life, I'm the expert of what's going on in my world and you're the expert of what's going on in your world Right, and so you're the best person.
00:14:14.852 --> 00:14:18.557
You're the best person to be able to say this is what's we'll make the biggest change.
00:14:18.557 --> 00:14:25.462
This is what I think I need to fix, what I need to work on, and then I would support you in that, in whatever your goals are.
00:14:26.604 --> 00:14:27.565
That is so good.
00:14:27.565 --> 00:14:36.962
Yeah, because sometimes we need to have that coaching to be the biggest cheerleader, I say, to push us along to meet those.
00:14:36.962 --> 00:14:47.664
And then, once we have the coaching, then we have to coach our brains that we're happy with ourself too because we accomplished it, you know.
00:14:47.664 --> 00:14:53.241
So are you doing like a certain number of weeks for a session?
00:14:53.241 --> 00:14:55.798
Is it like four to six weeks or?
00:14:57.250 --> 00:15:12.484
Well, people can buy packages of sessions, or they can buy one at a time, just paper, one at a time, or they can go through a program which is five or eight sessions, depending on which one they choose, and it's it's up to like.
00:15:12.484 --> 00:15:23.414
I really try and make it work for the clients and not just say, hey, you have to do six months with me and give me, you know, all these thousands dollars.
00:15:23.414 --> 00:15:25.077
I want to make it affordable.
00:15:25.077 --> 00:15:29.270
Everyone has a different budget and so I try and work with your person's needs.
00:15:30.614 --> 00:15:32.836
Gotcha, that's really good to know.
00:15:32.836 --> 00:15:34.880
So, all right.
00:15:34.880 --> 00:15:39.394
So, like you know, for me I'm going to use me as an example.
00:15:39.394 --> 00:15:56.254
If I came to you because I'm getting to know you on this podcast and I said well, ever since 2000, maybe even before 2000, I grew up with chronic pain and it's so bad, it goes throughout my body.
00:15:56.254 --> 00:16:07.792
I have my ups, my downs, but I want to get these goals done and finding where my energy lies, but it also throughout nutrition.
00:16:07.792 --> 00:16:09.836
I can't eat because it gets me sick.
00:16:09.836 --> 00:16:14.004
How can I, like, maintain this healthy level?
00:16:14.004 --> 00:16:24.879
And that's something that I would come to you for and just give that all to you, and if we would work out that plan together, that's correct.
00:16:27.511 --> 00:16:29.095
Well, here's where my limitations are.
00:16:29.095 --> 00:16:38.100
I am not a therapist or a personal trainer or a medical professional, so I could help you come up with a plan.
00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:44.149
If you said this is what my doctor suggested or these are my limitations, then I can help you figure out what works.
00:16:44.149 --> 00:16:45.030
I don't read labs.
00:16:45.030 --> 00:16:53.177
I know some health coaches have like functional medicine training on top of their coaching, which I would love to do but hasn't fit to my life yet.
00:16:53.177 --> 00:17:02.958
But no, for me it would be more about help, working alongside you and whatever health professionals you're working with to reach your goals.
00:17:04.580 --> 00:17:06.344
That's cool, okay, I like that.
00:17:06.344 --> 00:17:21.876
Okay, yeah, because even if I'm coming and saying my doctor says more exercise, and you know healthy habits of you know my biggest thing too back, well, I stopped it altogether.
00:17:21.876 --> 00:17:29.914
I had trouble sleeping and that's something I really needed coaching to get off of a medication.
00:17:29.914 --> 00:17:32.239
That's what I needed coaching for.
00:17:32.239 --> 00:17:38.433
But yeah, so they put me on Ambien and I was on that for like five years.
00:17:39.194 --> 00:17:43.942
The great thing about it you sleep, but the worst thing about it you sleepwalk.
00:17:43.942 --> 00:17:53.364
So it's something that, where it was getting my son was like Mom, I feel like I have to babysit you At night.
00:17:53.364 --> 00:17:59.451
You're trying to make food, you're making coffee, you're doing this, and I'll be the first one to admit it right here on here.
00:17:59.451 --> 00:18:05.223
It was terrible, but it was hard for me to say no to it too.
00:18:05.223 --> 00:18:18.018
So I had to talk about it with friends and then hear what my kiddos said about it and I was like enough is enough, I'm stronger than that medication.
00:18:18.018 --> 00:18:33.292
So I had to teach myself to sleep and I talked to another family doctor and I made the decision because once you hit delete on I didn't know this on Ambien and you start taking another sleeping aid to help.
00:18:33.292 --> 00:18:35.876
You can never go back to Ambien.
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.978
I didn't know that, and but I made that decision to get rid of it because of the sleepwalking part of it.
00:18:42.978 --> 00:18:46.112
So, yeah, you hear all those stories.
00:18:46.112 --> 00:18:48.597
I was like I'm going to make an Ambien podcast.
00:18:48.597 --> 00:18:57.415
But, yeah, definitely Now the empowerment that you give for your coaching.
00:18:57.415 --> 00:19:13.801
So can you kind of tell me what would I expect as a you know, client of yours, if I came to you and you know I was checking off, um the list that we created together, um the?
00:19:13.801 --> 00:19:20.576
Would there be like next steps, I guess, or accomplishments that I would need to reach?
00:19:22.817 --> 00:19:27.202
No, everyone is on their own journey.
00:19:28.084 --> 00:19:28.344
And.
00:19:28.924 --> 00:19:32.113
I celebrate every win and so with people.
00:19:32.113 --> 00:19:40.678
So you know, if someone is 250 pounds and they lose five pounds and they're excited, I will be so excited for them and I will.
00:19:40.678 --> 00:19:51.238
You know that requires that required some kind of real effort right on their part to lose that weight and so it's not the end goal.
00:19:51.238 --> 00:20:01.055
Like, sorry, I don't think about the end goal as much as I think about the journey, and that's one thing I really encourage my clients to is enjoy the process, enjoy the journey.
00:20:01.055 --> 00:20:07.773
Don't just look, oh well, I'm not 150 pounds yet so I can't really celebrate.
00:20:07.894 --> 00:20:08.675
No, no, no, no.
00:20:08.675 --> 00:20:11.261
Just take one goal one step at a time.
00:20:11.261 --> 00:20:15.561
Enjoy the process, and it's going to look so different for everybody, right.
00:20:15.561 --> 00:20:28.913
And so when I have my programs that people go through, it's more about the education piece and they can expand on the nutrition education if they want, or they can just keep that to one, one session.
00:20:28.913 --> 00:20:31.098
But it's really client-led.
00:20:31.098 --> 00:20:41.255
People can work with me for a short, as long as they want, on one tiny, tiny goal at a time, or maybe they want to accomplish everything and just crush it and that's their personality.
00:20:41.255 --> 00:20:44.402
Great, you know it's up to them what they want to do.
00:20:44.542 --> 00:20:53.295
I can make suggestions and I can encourage and I can educate, but it is really individualized and client-led oh, that is so cool.
00:20:53.515 --> 00:20:54.416
That is so cool.
00:20:54.416 --> 00:21:05.556
I love that part like I know I would want to, and you do, all across the world, or is it just the United States, or I'm.
00:21:05.957 --> 00:21:17.830
if we can, if we can hop on a conference call and get our time zones to match, then then I can work with someone, yeah definitely that's the fun part.
00:21:17.851 --> 00:21:18.031
There's a.
00:21:18.031 --> 00:21:21.681
I want to have a chart out here for when I'm scheduling podcast.
00:21:21.681 --> 00:21:26.201
You know what time is it in England, what time is it in Australia?
00:21:26.201 --> 00:21:31.839
You know because I don't have that and that's the one question I always get you know.
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:34.236
So trying to line those up.
00:21:34.236 --> 00:21:35.840
And thank God for Zoom.
00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:38.419
You know it's made technology great.
00:21:38.419 --> 00:21:42.821
We can talk to more people and help them out and everything.
00:21:42.821 --> 00:21:47.592
Before we jump on, I'm going to go into a mid little break.
00:21:47.853 --> 00:21:53.374
One of our other sponsors for Keep Hope Alive is called Snap Bands and I'm trying to pull mine up right now.
00:21:53.374 --> 00:21:59.393
You've probably seen these on Facebook, but each Snap Bands has a mantra word.
00:21:59.393 --> 00:22:01.596
Mine says hope right there, imagine that right.
00:22:01.596 --> 00:22:03.157
Mine says hope right there, imagine that right.
00:22:03.157 --> 00:22:06.622
They have different ones, like fearlessness, love.
00:22:06.622 --> 00:22:13.214
They just came out with the word faith and I will quickly add in there for the code description.
00:22:13.214 --> 00:22:16.843
You put K-H-A so you can get that word faith if you want it.
00:22:16.843 --> 00:22:21.241
But all different colors are made out of vegan leather which is nice and sturdy.
00:22:21.430 --> 00:22:31.443
But the science behind Snap V bands they have this elastic right here that you pull it out and let it thump right against here.
00:22:31.443 --> 00:22:41.567
It will help send a signal to the brain and it helps you to relieve any depression, anxiety, stresses, ptsd.
00:22:41.567 --> 00:22:44.579
I say PTSD for my own because it's helped me.
00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:53.615
I'm sure I have medical PTSD, but every time I have to go into the hospital and they're trying to find a vein, it's like eight sticks and then they find.
00:22:53.615 --> 00:22:56.423
So I'm praying for whoever has to find the vein.
00:22:56.423 --> 00:22:57.811
Please get it the first try.
00:22:57.811 --> 00:23:00.035
But I love it.
00:23:00.035 --> 00:23:06.345
I've had mine on for almost two years now and it has helped me even with sleeping too.
00:23:06.345 --> 00:23:14.750
So all proceeds for Snap Bands also will go to a foundation or charity that will help others with this.
00:23:14.750 --> 00:23:26.404
You can visit their website at wwwsnapbandscom and that's spelled S-N-A-P-P-B-A-N-D-Zcom.
00:23:26.404 --> 00:23:29.636
All right, have you seen those on Facebook?
00:23:29.636 --> 00:23:32.997
I love their advertising, they're everywhere.
00:23:34.681 --> 00:23:40.717
Yeah, so, but yeah, definitely, so do you have.
00:23:40.717 --> 00:23:42.961
I guess you know I've started writing a book.
00:23:42.961 --> 00:23:44.816
Do you have any books?
00:23:44.816 --> 00:23:46.121
Guess you know I've started writing a book.
00:23:46.121 --> 00:23:48.088
Do you have any books out or podcasts?
00:23:48.632 --> 00:23:50.838
I have a book that I am working on.
00:23:50.838 --> 00:24:01.480
I'm hoping to get it published this year, but I just started and I'm busy, so a little bit at a time right.
00:24:02.631 --> 00:24:07.122
I just started a Facebook group for um, just to support women.
00:24:07.122 --> 00:24:08.153
I, I, you know.
00:24:08.153 --> 00:24:11.848
What's funny is some people have suggested why you start a Facebook group.
