00:00:02.786 --> 00:00:05.413
Hello and welcome to Keep Hope Alive podcast.
00:00:05.413 --> 00:00:06.645
My name is Nadine.
00:00:06.645 --> 00:00:08.367
I'm so excited.
00:00:08.367 --> 00:00:10.285
Today we have a wonderful guest.
00:00:10.285 --> 00:00:17.586
Her name is Stacey Johnson and she's a women empowerment coach and we're going to dive into her story today.
00:00:17.586 --> 00:00:19.806
Welcome to Keep Hope Alive.
00:00:19.806 --> 00:00:21.385
I'm so excited to have you on.
00:00:21.385 --> 00:00:23.925
Thank you, I'm glad to be here today.
00:00:23.925 --> 00:00:29.704
Yay, Well, before we get started, I have a question for you.
00:00:29.704 --> 00:00:33.652
Sure, Out of the past year, how many weddings have you been to?
00:00:33.652 --> 00:00:36.786
One One, Okay.
00:00:36.786 --> 00:00:48.604
Well, say, you got invited to a wedding and you're going into like the ceremony part and you're walking in and there's a little table there with something for you to sign to let the couple know you were there.
00:00:48.604 --> 00:00:50.228
What are you signing?
00:00:50.228 --> 00:00:51.990
Guest book?
00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:55.944
Yes, yes, so you'd be signing that guest book.
00:00:56.024 --> 00:01:17.567
Now, one of our biggest sponsors that keep up alive is Life on Record, and instead of that guest book, what they do is they have a vintage rotary phone that your guests can come up to, and it's usually placed on a beautiful wooden desk or something with the greenery, and they pick up the phone and can leave a message Congratulations on your big day.
00:01:17.567 --> 00:01:19.346
We're so excited for you.
00:01:19.346 --> 00:01:21.346
Many years of happiness.
00:01:21.346 --> 00:01:23.786
Now, right next to the phone.
00:01:23.786 --> 00:01:26.373
They have a little sign with a QR code.
00:01:26.373 --> 00:01:35.974
In case the line gets too busy, you can take out your mobile device and scan that QR code and leave a message by your phone.
00:01:35.974 --> 00:01:48.763
Now, after all these messages are brought into the system, they will burn it on a 10-inch vinyl record or they'll put it on a keepsake little speaker box for you.
00:01:48.763 --> 00:01:50.066
I call it the boom box.
00:01:50.066 --> 00:02:00.632
So years from now you can listen to all these messages and be like oh, I remember that it's so good to hear them again.
00:02:00.632 --> 00:02:02.180
So I call it the gift of voice.
00:02:02.662 --> 00:02:03.724
Not only weddings.
00:02:03.724 --> 00:02:09.414
You can use this for special events like birthdays or corporate gatherings, family reunions.
00:02:09.414 --> 00:02:16.094
I know I used it when there was an accident on the field for my son playing football.
00:02:16.094 --> 00:02:20.891
One of his friends got knocked down and, you know, the whole leg got broke.
00:02:20.891 --> 00:02:27.961
So the kids were calling in wishing him to get well and that got sent over to him as well.
00:02:27.961 --> 00:02:30.366
So there's many uses for them.
00:02:30.366 --> 00:02:32.670
Check out their website.
00:02:32.670 --> 00:02:34.655
Their plans start at $99.
00:02:34.655 --> 00:02:39.111
You get to keep the phone number not the phone, but the phone number for one year.
00:02:39.111 --> 00:02:42.664
There's a wwwlifeonrecordcom.
00:02:42.664 --> 00:02:47.290
All right, let's get this party started.
00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:50.776
So who is Stacey Johnson?
00:02:52.979 --> 00:02:54.181
I am.
00:02:54.181 --> 00:03:11.956
I well, I've been a clinical therapist for 25 years and now, about a year and a half ago, I decided that I did not want to be a therapist in a special educational school anymore.
00:03:11.956 --> 00:03:17.044
I wanted to get away from the.
00:03:17.044 --> 00:03:30.776
I just wanted to get away from the requirements of the time that I had to be in an office and I wanted to branch off.
00:03:30.776 --> 00:03:33.443
So I started working for myself.
00:03:33.884 --> 00:03:52.366
I do some private practice as a clinical therapist, but then I'm also a woman empowerment coach, and I decided to do that because when I started the private practice of therapy, everybody that was coming to me were these women that were overwhelmed and burned out, and I could totally relate to them.
00:03:52.366 --> 00:03:54.826
And so I wanted to be into women.
00:03:54.826 --> 00:04:09.741
I wanted to go into women empowerment coaching to help women like that because of what you know I had experienced you know being burnt out and just help more women than I could in clinical therapy.
00:04:09.741 --> 00:04:16.040
Because clinical therapy I am forced to stay within the state limits that I live in.
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:22.454
I live in Ohio and so I was forced to kind of stay in these limits of Ohio when I do therapy.
00:04:22.454 --> 00:04:27.740
So that's why, you know, so that I branched off to being a woman empowerment coach.
00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:29.584
I'm a mom.
00:04:29.584 --> 00:04:35.273
I have two beautiful daughters that are ages 23 and 20.
00:04:35.273 --> 00:04:38.122
They still live with me because they're going into.
00:04:38.122 --> 00:04:43.148
You know, they're both in college and so I guess that's who I am.
00:04:44.230 --> 00:04:47.574
Gotcha, I understand about the 23-year-old daughter.
00:04:47.574 --> 00:04:56.653
I have one, but yeah, she made me a grandma this year.
00:04:59.466 --> 00:05:09.024
So, I'm spending time with my granddaughter, making her laugh and smile, and I'll put on my makeup and I was like, alice, do you want some makeup?
00:05:09.024 --> 00:05:18.745
She just giggles at me and I'm like, oh, I love it Every moment of it, but definitely so well, that is so cool.
00:05:18.745 --> 00:05:30.076
So, um, tell us back back like when you were younger, and I guess the structure of like getting to where you got to today.
00:05:30.076 --> 00:05:31.786
What was that journey like?
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.887
Interesting question really.
00:05:35.887 --> 00:05:45.369
When I was growing up, you know my parents both my parents, my parents divorced when I was like nine.
00:05:45.369 --> 00:06:13.141
But we had a very loving, close relationship, even though there was two homes that I was going back and forth to and my dad owned his own business, my mom owned her own business and pretty much from a young age they were always like you're going to college, like that's just what you're expected to do, and so and I was a good student and I liked school.
00:06:13.141 --> 00:06:17.557
But when I graduated from high school I really didn't know what I wanted to do.
00:06:17.557 --> 00:06:22.870
I thought I wanted to be a teacher, because most young girls want to be a teacher, you know.
00:06:22.870 --> 00:06:24.482
So teaching kind of thought.
00:06:24.482 --> 00:06:26.127
I thought that's kind of what I wanted to do.
00:06:26.127 --> 00:06:42.613
And when I went to college, so I went in as undecided and I thought I was going to go into teaching and the school that I went to was a teaching college, like they had an elementary school on the campus.
00:06:42.613 --> 00:06:53.574
So everybody that I met was in some form of education and I thought I'm never going to find a job if I'm graduating with this many education majors.
00:06:53.574 --> 00:07:06.733
So I started researching how else I could help people and that's when I decided I would get a, I would go into psychology and I would minor in special ed.
00:07:06.733 --> 00:07:17.000
And so you know, my parents were like whatever, I'm not sure what you're doing with that degree, but whatever suits you and makes you happy.
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:35.673
So graduated and got a job in a psych hospital as like a therapist that was not like they called me a milieu therapist and it was a kind of like an assistant or you know, I kind of ran the adolescent unit.
00:07:35.673 --> 00:07:43.702
So I was in charge of like coming up with activities for the adolescents, just being in a part of their unit, just being in a part of their unit.
00:07:43.702 --> 00:07:59.728
And as I was working there I started talking to, you know more of the professionals because I was like you know the social worker, counseling, and then maybe all I like I like being again that educational field.
00:07:59.728 --> 00:08:07.872
So I was like maybe school, school psychologist, someone's like all you're going to do is test kids.
00:08:07.872 --> 00:08:14.913
You're never going to really work with them as a school psychologist, you're just going to kind of test them and then you really don't work with them.
00:08:14.913 --> 00:08:18.795
You know, maybe you should look into counseling.
00:08:19.875 --> 00:08:48.142
So I did and I got accepted to a local college not too far from my house so I could commute, and I got into their master's program and I started my master's program there and started working for a different agency and that was more for drug and alcohol as, like you know, just an under you know, under the therapist there, kind of again helping with activities.
00:08:48.142 --> 00:08:59.604
And I got my master's and started working for a agency that was for children and adolescents.
00:08:59.604 --> 00:09:10.812
So I was a children and adolescents therapist and I was there for about a year and they asked me to start working.
00:09:10.812 --> 00:09:41.917
I was still working for them but they placed me in a local elementary school because that local elementary school had a special ed unit that was struggling and so that school district wanted to bring in extra resources to try to see if they could, you know, help the children in that unit because their mental health needs were getting in the way of them even accessing the curriculum the best way.
00:09:41.917 --> 00:09:53.653
And this was going to be a pilot program where they were going to put a counselor and like a case manager attached to a classroom and I.
00:09:53.653 --> 00:10:08.724
So that's, I did that and I was there and one it was like in May I did a full year and then in the following year I did a full year and then in the following year I was working there.
00:10:08.744 --> 00:10:20.413
So I started the second year there and then I was in the lunchroom one morning or one day and another, like a supervisor of another program, asked me, like they were all talking about summer breaks.
00:10:20.413 --> 00:10:21.761
I'm like, yeah, I don't get one.
00:10:21.761 --> 00:10:27.910
Like I'm counselor, I I'm actually hired by, you know, this agency, so I don't get summers off.
00:10:27.910 --> 00:10:29.158
And they're like, would you want to?
00:10:29.158 --> 00:10:30.764
I'm like, well, that's a dumb question.
00:10:30.764 --> 00:10:33.231
I have a one-year-old baby.
00:10:33.231 --> 00:10:36.461
Of course I would love to be able to have the summers off.
00:10:37.142 --> 00:10:46.355
So she's like, well, I know somebody that's opening up an alternative school and they might want to, you know, hire a therapist as well.
00:10:46.355 --> 00:10:57.576
So I applied there and he accepted my application and I started with him and he was fairly new.
00:10:57.576 --> 00:11:03.251
So I took that faith that you know we would grow.
00:11:03.251 --> 00:11:04.052
And it grew.
00:11:04.052 --> 00:11:08.284
You know, we start off with four students and by the end of the year we were full.
00:11:08.284 --> 00:11:16.025
And you know, two years later we had to open up a bigger building and then a separate building.
00:11:16.025 --> 00:11:19.913
So we, we continued to grow and I was there for 20 years.
00:11:22.403 --> 00:11:32.548
And yeah, I mean so it was kind of a combination with my special ed because it was a special educational school, so I had the background of my minor, but I was able to.
00:11:33.208 --> 00:11:39.272
I wasn't necessarily doing as much therapy as, like my license would say.
00:11:39.272 --> 00:11:56.952
I was more like helping teachers understand the mental health aspect that comes with special ed children and then the trauma that children face and helping kids when they were in crisis and then managing the structure of just the building.
00:11:56.952 --> 00:11:59.542
So I was considered the building supervisor as well.
00:11:59.542 --> 00:12:06.234
So like calling off staff calling off and after COVID that seemed to get higher.
00:12:06.234 --> 00:12:39.761
You know, staffing seemed to be more of an issue and my husband passed away in 2021 suddenly, and that's when my eyes opened up that I did not want to be trapped in a building from 7.30 to 3.30 or have to sub on a van because we were short staff and I would have to sub on a van so my days would be longer or and just the stress of that.
00:12:39.761 --> 00:12:48.455
And that's when I decided that I wanted to go into more of a private practice and be my own boss and start my own business.
00:12:51.722 --> 00:12:53.389
You answered that so good.
00:12:53.389 --> 00:12:55.808
That was a clear journey.
00:12:55.808 --> 00:12:57.626
That was amazing.
00:12:57.626 --> 00:13:05.274
So I guess you had a few challenges through those hurdles too and everything.
00:13:05.274 --> 00:13:18.423
So what would you tell the listeners when you get you know challenges and how did you learn to handle each challenge and get through that?
00:13:21.145 --> 00:13:26.028
Yeah, I think with my therapy background, it does definitely help.
00:13:26.028 --> 00:13:40.157
And every time I would listen to a podcast or see other inspiring posts on Facebook, I'm like I know this stuff.
00:13:40.157 --> 00:13:53.009
This is the stuff that I know because as a therapist, you have to attend so many continuing educational courses a year to keep your license, and so all of these things.
00:13:53.009 --> 00:13:57.759
I'm like I've learned these things and I just need to put them in practice for myself.
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:13.690
And so you know that's when I was younger and working in the school and having kids in their own sporting events and just running.
00:14:13.690 --> 00:14:15.312
I was like, basically, you know, I called myself the CEO of the household.
00:14:15.312 --> 00:14:35.908
You know like everything landed on my plate to like make sure is organized, and that was when I was probably burnout the most and I started to really you know that's when I was like one day someone's like I think I came home and there was dishes in the sink.
00:14:35.908 --> 00:14:42.207
Or someone asked me like Mom, I need something at the store, I have a project due tomorrow and I need.
00:14:42.207 --> 00:14:46.817
And I'm like, and my husband's like why are you always angry?
00:14:46.817 --> 00:14:50.566
And I'm like I'm not angry, like I'm not an angry person.
00:14:50.566 --> 00:14:52.129
It was my.
00:14:52.129 --> 00:14:57.679
My responses were coming out as anger, but I was just overwhelmed and burnout.
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:12.953
And that's when I first started to like, tune into, like, okay, you've attended workshops on, you know, overwhelmed, burnout, start developing your own system to help yourself.
00:15:13.595 --> 00:15:21.839
And that's when I first started looking, you know, digging into that stuff Self-care you know, really looking at my own self-care.
00:15:21.839 --> 00:16:18.488
You know, really looking at my own self-care, really looking at my thoughts and not overth could manage that stress so that I could make sure that my girls were managing stress as well too, because they were one was in high school when he passed and one was had just finished one program and was starting to work full time and was thinking about getting back into college for LP, you know, to be a nurse.
00:16:18.488 --> 00:16:34.662
And so I knew that I had to make sure that I was managing my stress well so that I could help them with the grief and the stress of this new life that we are living.
00:16:34.662 --> 00:16:55.630
So I knew I had to dig deep into the skills that I knew, the skills that I knew Self-care was the huge one, but then just the thoughts, you know, making sure that I didn't get consumed with these what-if thoughts, or I should have done this thought.
00:16:55.671 --> 00:16:58.296
That's kind of where I'm standing right now in my life.
00:16:58.296 --> 00:17:03.052
So you're hitting a point like it's good to hear it from you talking about this.
00:17:03.052 --> 00:17:06.398
So yeah, self-care is very important.
00:17:06.398 --> 00:17:21.826
And I had another guest what you manifest out there and I know a year ago, before I took my last job, I was like I really wanted to move to Oklahoma because, a I have my dad and the family out there.
00:17:21.826 --> 00:17:27.949
B I know my son plays football, he loves it out there, he eventually wants to go to OU.
00:17:27.949 --> 00:17:33.269
And then I was like, okay, it's cheaper to live out there, but I do have to take a pay cut.
00:17:33.269 --> 00:17:35.556
Will that be okay or is it going to be a shock?
00:17:35.556 --> 00:17:43.972
And then, being such a city girl, coming to country world, it's going to be really entertaining.
00:17:44.212 --> 00:17:46.315
And I was analyzing that part.
00:17:46.315 --> 00:17:50.219
You know Somebody asked me well, why are you moving?
00:17:50.219 --> 00:17:57.684
Because we love you, we don't want you to move and I go.
00:17:57.684 --> 00:17:58.627
Well, I'm going to find myself all over again.
00:17:58.627 --> 00:18:04.441
And you know, what I started to notice is you know the people who are so concerned about me moving.
00:18:05.564 --> 00:18:07.126
I've been here the whole time.
00:18:07.126 --> 00:18:20.826
You haven't reached out, like, why does it matter now is what I'm like, but I had to explain it's me taking care of me and my kiddo, and that comes first, and then being happy all the time.
00:18:20.826 --> 00:18:22.150
That's another thing.
00:18:22.150 --> 00:18:23.934
Yes, well, will I have to make changes?
00:18:23.934 --> 00:18:24.737
I sure will.
00:18:24.737 --> 00:18:41.893
But you know, other than that, I think I had a really hard pull because I love the church I go to and I just joined their choir and I made friends and I'm just I'm having the hardest time and I was like stay focused, nadine, because that's like every other week.
00:18:41.893 --> 00:18:44.592
You know, things do change.
00:18:44.592 --> 00:18:47.990
There is a brighter future on the other end.
00:18:47.990 --> 00:19:05.945
So, taking a look at that, but being there for the kids, yes, and you put your kids' needs there, because it is very much a grief area of that time of yours that you had to focus on that too, but you had to heal from it to move forward.
00:19:05.945 --> 00:19:08.431
So, yeah, right.
00:19:09.532 --> 00:19:17.156
So many people I've talked to and I say self-care, they're like, you know, they think, oh, I don't have time for self-care, or they think I don't have the money.
00:19:17.665 --> 00:19:33.865
Because there's this vision that, like, self-care is like, maybe, massages or, you know, getting our hair done, and I'm like, no, you know, self-care, you know, is I can do within a couple minutes of my day and it cost me nothing.
00:19:33.865 --> 00:19:46.565
You know, one was just literally, you know, taking some deep breath, making sure that I'm using my deep breath to, like, you know, release some of that stress that I was carrying, you know, in my shoulders.
00:19:46.565 --> 00:19:48.729
But then again, it had a lot for me.
00:19:48.729 --> 00:20:22.191
It had a lot to do with just my thoughts, you know, and not thinking all the worst case scenarios, you know, and the should have or could have, and you know, and there's different parts of self-care too, you know, in regards to that social piece and making sure that I was still, you know, connecting with friends or other people outside of my two girls, and then also my physical exercise, you know, making sure that I was still involved in things that made me feel happy.
00:20:22.832 --> 00:20:26.599
Yeah, yeah, definitely, and that's really important.
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:28.647
And you know it's weird.
00:20:28.647 --> 00:20:33.896
I live with my mom again and I just turned 47.
00:20:33.896 --> 00:20:38.170
My mom was like, why do you go out and do things?
00:20:38.170 --> 00:20:45.114
I go, well, I'm working all the time, I'm staying focused, but I'm not taking care of what I love to do.
00:20:45.114 --> 00:20:52.896
And so I would go out and sing karaoke, and this is before church, you know, joining their worship team and stuff.
00:20:52.896 --> 00:21:02.537
But now I've come to realize the karaoke has taken a step back because it is more powerful to sing at church and I love it.
00:21:02.537 --> 00:21:04.960
There is more powerful to sing at church and I love it there.
00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:13.728
You know, I was like, if it's a Sunday, I got to be there from like 7.30 in the morning to about noon.
00:21:13.728 --> 00:21:14.971
You know, I'm just like I need to save my voice.
00:21:14.971 --> 00:21:22.131
You know I'm starting to like pay attention to those little things and you know it's just, it's taken that me time for me.
00:21:22.131 --> 00:21:28.760
And my son told me yesterday he goes, well, grandma went to church.
00:21:28.760 --> 00:21:29.909
And I go, oh, she did.
00:21:29.909 --> 00:21:30.772
I didn't even see her.
00:21:30.772 --> 00:21:37.173
Well, she sat in a different row and she told me something in the car and I was like, oh really, what did she say?
00:21:37.173 --> 00:21:42.498
And she says you're the most happy while up on that stage singing.
00:21:42.498 --> 00:21:44.692
And I go, you got that right.
00:21:44.692 --> 00:22:06.385
And she got that right because I'm in my own world, I'm connected with, actually, god, you know, and I don't think everybody's just looking at one person in the choir, it's a bunch of us, there's like 45 members in the choir, so, but if we could touch one soul out there, that's amazing.
00:22:06.385 --> 00:22:12.179
So that's why me time lately, right, that's very nice.
00:22:12.179 --> 00:22:15.625
Yeah, you know, you're absolutely right.
00:22:16.007 --> 00:22:21.719
People do think self-care is like oh, I'm going to go shop for myself and buy a new outfit.
00:22:21.719 --> 00:22:23.770
I'm going to go, like you said, a massage.
00:22:23.770 --> 00:22:24.577
I'm going to go get my myself and buy a new outfit.
00:22:24.577 --> 00:22:26.198
I'm going to go, like you said, a massage, I'm going to go get my nails done.
00:22:26.198 --> 00:22:30.828
Yeah, I can see where they do think that is self-care and it is a little.
00:22:30.828 --> 00:22:39.096
I call it taking care of yourself, but not the self part, because that has to come from your inner soul and understanding who you are.
00:22:39.096 --> 00:22:42.034
So, and that's something you teach, right?
00:22:43.025 --> 00:22:57.678
Yes, yes yes, yeah, I mean yeah, those little things of buying yourself something or nails, that is something right there in that moment, it doesn't last, you know, for the long time.
00:22:57.678 --> 00:23:12.049
Like you singing, you know that, again, you feel connected to other people and God, and so you know that feeling is lasting longer into the week than you know going and buying a new shirt.
00:23:12.049 --> 00:23:20.173
You know that buying that new shirt might make me feel good right then, or maybe every once in a while when I put it on, but it doesn't last.
00:23:20.173 --> 00:23:30.894
The longer period of time and that's the idea with self-care is that, again, it's it is it's about finding our joy and what makes us feel good.
00:23:30.894 --> 00:23:52.576
And so and those are the things that I can tap into, you know, when I'm, you know, on those moments when I am feeling overwhelmed, I can, you know, take my deep breath and tap into the things of self-care for me, and then that, can you know, it lasts longer than just going and buying a new shirt or something.
00:23:53.499 --> 00:23:54.180
Exactly.
00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:58.457
It's not like you're going to buy this shirt and be like every day, oh look what I got.
00:23:58.457 --> 00:24:01.813
Or even like I never get my nails done.
00:24:01.813 --> 00:24:11.871
But I did it recently and because it was my birthday and that was a little bit of myself treating myself, but I was like man.
00:24:11.871 --> 00:24:13.777
I think it's after week three.
00:24:13.777 --> 00:24:15.250
I'm like I want them off.
00:24:15.250 --> 00:24:20.474
They're not the happy moment that I expected it to be.
00:24:20.474 --> 00:24:21.176
They look good.
00:24:21.176 --> 00:24:24.086
Then I was like do I just tear them off?
00:24:24.086 --> 00:24:25.227
No, that's going to hurt.
00:24:25.227 --> 00:24:27.587
You know, it's just those little things.
00:24:27.587 --> 00:24:30.130
But, yeah, definitely.
00:24:30.269 --> 00:25:02.691
So, being connected, I'm awake and I don't know if a lot of people know what that term means, but I remember when I truly found myself and I was more in tuned with what my purpose in life was and stuff, and it's just building that foundation around it and just seeing the world as a light, and I choose to stay away from any darkness.
00:25:02.691 --> 00:25:03.213
Does darkness happen?
00:25:03.213 --> 00:25:05.184
Yes, it does, but it's up to you and your strength to make what this world is for you.
00:25:05.184 --> 00:25:15.334
Now some people will sit there and like, oh, I'm going to just tune in to the news station all day and they let that drain them throughout the day.
00:25:15.334 --> 00:25:16.529
Oh, did you hear this?
00:25:16.630 --> 00:25:19.386
And that my mom and dad.
00:25:19.386 --> 00:25:26.945
I love them to death, but I choose not to watch the news because it seems more harmful to the soul.
00:25:26.945 --> 00:25:41.527
To take in that energy than actually going for a walk is a wonderful way Seeing the ducks out there and enjoying the sky and what God has given us is right there and it's like take advantage of it.
00:25:41.527 --> 00:25:43.672
You know, I want to do a test.
00:25:43.672 --> 00:25:51.650
Can you take a month off from watching the news and enjoy life, you know, and see how many people do that and what changes there is?
00:25:51.650 --> 00:25:52.172
You know?
00:25:52.172 --> 00:25:58.654
So Right, yeah, yeah, so yeah, I want to know a little bit more.
00:25:58.654 --> 00:26:05.412
So, with the coaching that you do from your home, I guess that's Zoom related, is that correct?
00:26:05.412 --> 00:26:09.791
Yeah, okay, yeah, yep, go ahead.
00:26:10.046 --> 00:26:29.076
I do group coaching through, yeah, through Zoom, and so the women that are involved in my program we meet group once a week, twice a week if need be, and they, you know, bring their concerns.
00:26:29.076 --> 00:26:37.551
They get when they join my program they get 12 weeks of educational materials and so they work on those.
00:26:37.551 --> 00:26:59.586
In between the group calls and they can bring those questions too, if they had questions about the material, or they can just bring a question that you know, a lot of my clients bring questions of something that happened during the week that they want to like work through and um, and I will give them exercises to do in between.
00:26:59.586 --> 00:27:05.685
And then they also get three, uh, one-on-one Zoom calls with me during the 12 weeks that they're involved.
00:27:06.647 --> 00:27:07.711
That is so good.
00:27:07.711 --> 00:27:09.734
I like that layout and stuff.
00:27:09.734 --> 00:27:26.612
I mean that is something I would definitely sign up for and I think that selling point the three one-on-ones is like oh yes, I definitely need that, because it's one thing to join a group and then you feel a part of the group and it's great because it's open discussion too and you're really connecting.
00:27:26.612 --> 00:27:31.152
But the one-on-ones can be those times for their questions.
00:27:31.152 --> 00:27:37.141
They have to redirect their focus on how to, you know, push forward and everything.
00:27:37.141 --> 00:27:40.314
So you're bringing so much good into the world.
00:27:40.314 --> 00:27:42.788
I love that, but really really quick.
00:27:42.890 --> 00:27:48.031
I got to take a small little break with you and talk about my next sponsor for Keep Hope Alive.
00:27:48.031 --> 00:27:52.165
So have you ever seen snap bands on Facebook?
00:27:52.165 --> 00:27:55.152
They're always advertising my Pandora.
00:27:55.152 --> 00:28:02.791
I couldn't get it over the Pandora, but mine says hope on it and that's considered a mantra word for Snapvans.
00:28:02.791 --> 00:28:08.681
So they have different mantra words like peace, love, hope, fearlessness.
00:28:08.681 --> 00:28:11.093
They have a new one called faith.
00:28:11.093 --> 00:28:19.238
Now I'm going to quickly say in their code the only way you can get faith is put in K-H-A for keep hope alive.
00:28:19.238 --> 00:28:22.134
Now they come in all different colors.
00:28:22.134 --> 00:28:27.109
They have some that go with your corporate clothes, you know on a daily basis.
00:28:27.109 --> 00:28:29.117
Then they have those bright, fun colors.
00:28:29.117 --> 00:28:31.586
But what makes these very special?
00:28:31.586 --> 00:28:40.250
On the back of them they have this elastic band that you will pull out and with each mantra word like mine is hope.
00:28:40.830 --> 00:28:47.106
You will say like a little saying, or I call them prayers for me, for example.
00:28:47.106 --> 00:28:54.180
Let me use this Because this helps with depression, anxiety, ptsd.
00:28:54.180 --> 00:29:05.037
It is a scientific phenomenon, I call it the phenomenon that goes through and sends that signal to the brain to help you relieve those stresses.
00:29:05.037 --> 00:29:13.069
So when I'm at the hospital, I'm the hardest person to find a vein and I'm always like, okay, I'm going to pray over this nurse.
00:29:13.069 --> 00:29:19.113
She's not going to know what I'm doing, but like, please, not eat sticks, because that happens all the times.
00:00:02.786 --> 00:00:05.413
00:00:05.413 --> 00:00:06.645
00:00:06.645 --> 00:00:08.367
00:00:08.367 --> 00:00:10.285
00:00:10.285 --> 00:00:17.586
00:00:17.586 --> 00:00:19.806
00:00:19.806 --> 00:00:21.385
00:00:21.385 --> 00:00:23.925
00:00:23.925 --> 00:00:29.704
00:00:29.704 --> 00:00:33.652
00:00:33.652 --> 00:00:36.786
00:00:36.786 --> 00:00:48.604
00:00:48.604 --> 00:00:50.228
00:00:50.228 --> 00:00:51.990
00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:55.944
00:00:56.024 --> 00:01:17.567
00:01:17.567 --> 00:01:19.346
00:01:19.346 --> 00:01:21.346
00:01:21.346 --> 00:01:23.786
00:01:23.786 --> 00:01:26.373
00:01:26.373 --> 00:01:35.974
00:01:35.974 --> 00:01:48.763
00:01:48.763 --> 00:01:50.066
00:01:50.066 --> 00:02:00.632
00:02:00.632 --> 00:02:02.180
00:02:02.662 --> 00:02:03.724
00:02:03.724 --> 00:02:09.414
00:02:09.414 --> 00:02:16.094
00:02:16.094 --> 00:02:20.891
00:02:20.891 --> 00:02:27.961
00:02:27.961 --> 00:02:30.366
00:02:30.366 --> 00:02:32.670
00:02:32.670 --> 00:02:34.655
00:02:34.655 --> 00:02:39.111
00:02:39.111 --> 00:02:42.664
00:02:42.664 --> 00:02:47.290
00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:50.776
00:02:52.979 --> 00:02:54.181
00:02:54.181 --> 00:03:11.956
00:03:11.956 --> 00:03:17.044
00:03:17.044 --> 00:03:30.776
00:03:30.776 --> 00:03:33.443
00:03:33.884 --> 00:03:52.366
00:03:52.366 --> 00:03:54.826
00:03:54.826 --> 00:04:09.741
00:04:09.741 --> 00:04:16.040
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:22.454
00:04:22.454 --> 00:04:27.740
00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:29.584
00:04:29.584 --> 00:04:35.273
00:04:35.273 --> 00:04:38.122
00:04:38.122 --> 00:04:43.148
00:04:44.230 --> 00:04:47.574
00:04:47.574 --> 00:04:56.653
00:04:59.466 --> 00:05:09.024
00:05:09.024 --> 00:05:18.745
00:05:18.745 --> 00:05:30.076
00:05:30.076 --> 00:05:31.786
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.887
00:05:35.887 --> 00:05:45.369
00:05:45.369 --> 00:06:13.141
00:06:13.141 --> 00:06:17.557
00:06:17.557 --> 00:06:22.870
00:06:22.870 --> 00:06:24.482
00:06:24.482 --> 00:06:26.127
00:06:26.127 --> 00:06:42.613
00:06:42.613 --> 00:06:53.574
00:06:53.574 --> 00:07:06.733
00:07:06.733 --> 00:07:17.000
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:35.673
