This is the first bring back podcast that we had such a great interview before bring back podcast that we had such a great interview before.

00:00:30.403 --> 00:00:33.850
So I'm gonna give the ball to her and she can interview me too, if she wants.

00:00:33.850 --> 00:00:35.732
So hey, well, welcome, welcome.

00:00:35.732 --> 00:00:39.442
Thank you, nadine same here.

00:00:39.682 --> 00:00:41.185
Welcome back.

00:00:41.185 --> 00:00:42.026
No, I don't know.

00:00:42.026 --> 00:00:44.249
I'm the last one come back.

00:00:44.308 --> 00:00:46.012
No, I don't know, I'm the last one.

00:00:46.012 --> 00:00:47.694
How's it been since the last time?

00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:55.042
New business coming through.

00:00:55.042 --> 00:00:55.844
Yeah, lots of good things are happening.

00:00:55.844 --> 00:00:56.527
Lots of good things have happened.

00:00:56.527 --> 00:01:03.167
More to come and I think that's why we're here to talk about some of those things that feel so insurmountable that you can.

00:01:03.167 --> 00:01:07.034
I want to make sure people know that they can do it.

00:01:07.034 --> 00:01:12.751
You know like you're going to keep your own hope alive for a while and you're gonna.

00:01:12.751 --> 00:01:24.888
You can do it like really, um, you know, manifest what you want, or even if we don't want to talk in woo-woo words like just say this is what I want and it will happen.

00:01:24.888 --> 00:01:33.174
So I'm, I'm living proof multiple times, but specifically for this conversation with you.

00:01:35.081 --> 00:01:37.424
Oh wow, I'm losing my voice guys.

00:01:37.424 --> 00:01:39.969
Oh wow, that means so much to me.

00:01:39.969 --> 00:01:40.572
I love it.

00:01:40.572 --> 00:01:41.980
I love it, I love it.

00:01:41.980 --> 00:01:48.072
But you are right, in many ways, manifested it will come.

00:01:48.072 --> 00:01:51.906
You can say that in the same as relationships too.

00:01:51.906 --> 00:01:54.311
I have to close my eyes.

00:01:54.311 --> 00:01:57.024
I hear Nadine, you got to take care of yourself.

00:01:57.024 --> 00:02:02.787
And I was like, well, I'm ready to try to date again and I've been trying, but I call it, scored out like three or four times now.

00:02:02.787 --> 00:02:05.816
And I've been trying, but I've scored out like three or four times now.

00:02:05.816 --> 00:02:12.591
And I'm not trying to let it beat me down, but there is a part of me is like I absolutely give up now.

00:02:12.591 --> 00:02:15.647
But you know what happened.

00:02:15.647 --> 00:02:17.646
This is a fun little secret.

00:02:17.646 --> 00:02:29.923
All those bad things that were happening has led me to a new group, because there's groups that will go on in Facebook for relationships.

00:02:29.923 --> 00:02:35.394
But it's so funny, as a relationship coach, I'll have people ping in.

00:02:35.394 --> 00:02:37.604
Hey, look at this comment, what do you think of it?

00:02:38.165 --> 00:02:40.290
And I'm just like I don't know.

00:02:40.290 --> 00:02:42.201
I was like I don't want to weigh in.

00:02:42.201 --> 00:02:44.525
I'm not going to be a life coach here.

00:02:44.525 --> 00:02:49.271
I'm not going to jump on to every post, but something got me to thinking.

00:02:49.271 --> 00:02:51.534
I wanted to do this for a long time.

00:02:51.534 --> 00:03:01.884
But I'm going to bring dating group for the North Texas area and do it a little bit differently and it's going to be called perfectly paired.

00:03:01.884 --> 00:03:12.348
But, yes, it's going to be a little bit of coaching, like five to 10 minutes, you know, in networking events, my goodness.

00:03:12.949 --> 00:03:14.592
Hi, my name is Nadine.

00:03:14.592 --> 00:03:15.641
I'm a photographer.

00:03:15.641 --> 00:03:25.187
For over 25 years I've been going through the Dallas-Fort Worth working on weddings, children, family photography.

00:03:25.187 --> 00:03:27.513
I do shoot product and da-da-da-da.

00:03:27.513 --> 00:03:32.712
My website is this and my phone number is that and you can find me on social media here.

00:03:32.712 --> 00:03:38.289
But if you ever need a good photographer, come find me.

00:03:38.289 --> 00:03:40.334
That was my pitch, right?

00:03:40.334 --> 00:03:44.206
Yeah, well, why can we not do that?

00:03:44.206 --> 00:03:52.171
Okay, instead of those sit down speed dating oh, you got like three minutes, hi, I'm, and that's all you get to find out about me.

00:03:52.171 --> 00:03:58.393
But I want everybody to hear those pitches, so we're going to sit as a group.

00:03:58.393 --> 00:04:00.805
Hi, I'm Nadine.

00:04:00.844 --> 00:04:01.989
I'm a single mom.

00:04:01.989 --> 00:04:03.272
I grew up in New Jersey.

00:04:03.272 --> 00:04:04.717
They call me Jersey girl.

00:04:04.717 --> 00:04:06.020
I'm an Eagles fan.

00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:08.284
I know, boo me later blah, blah, blah.

00:04:08.284 --> 00:04:15.467
And I'm looking for a long-term relationship and I have two kids.

00:04:15.467 --> 00:04:16.591
I'm a grandma now.

00:04:16.591 --> 00:04:17.754
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:04:17.754 --> 00:04:19.199
And this is what I want.

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.285
I want a man who could throw a football.

00:04:21.285 --> 00:04:29.110
So I'm going to write down that name and if the dude or women can do it, oh, I might have interest.

00:04:29.110 --> 00:04:31.720
Now it's going to go into the bachelorette girl.

00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.983
Okay, so you get five minutes.

00:04:33.983 --> 00:04:36.309
Hey, I liked your pitch.

00:04:36.309 --> 00:04:38.874
Can I talk to you Five minutes?

00:04:38.874 --> 00:04:45.733
If somebody else comes up to the girl and the guy, hey, I want to be next.

00:04:45.733 --> 00:04:47.646
I want some time to talk to you.

00:04:47.646 --> 00:05:11.464
Now the thing is hoping, with those date pitches it's going to turn in to a date that weekend, okay, but here's the thing I'm going to make a Monday night, because if you're serious on finding love and Monday night, football's on, hmm, let's see which one weighs more.

00:05:11.485 --> 00:05:21.430
Maybe have a Monday night football date no, it could definitely be a football date that's awesome.

00:05:21.711 --> 00:05:22.733
Oh, good for you.

00:05:22.733 --> 00:05:26.761
Well, I'm have my fingers crossed, but I know the universe will bring you what you need.

00:05:26.922 --> 00:05:34.473
So yeah so, but for you, new changes for you.

00:05:34.574 --> 00:05:44.312
I want to hear them all yeah, um, so I actually um, there's, you know, a couple of people I've always wanted to align with.

00:05:44.312 --> 00:05:49.387
I respect it, I've seen around and I've always wanted to write books.

00:05:49.387 --> 00:05:53.487
Like that's really, since I was young, I always wanted to write books.

00:05:53.487 --> 00:05:56.120
I always think that that's just a great way to communicate with people.

00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:03.661
Because it's written, you get to take what you're going through at that moment and read those words and see what it feels like to you.

00:06:03.661 --> 00:06:19.737
And so both of these wonderful things presented themselves about a year ago and I worked with Jim Britt, who wrote a book or published a book.

00:06:19.737 --> 00:06:24.271
I'm a co-author in Cracking the Rich Code and it's endorsed by Tony Robbins.

00:06:24.271 --> 00:06:27.545
Nice, a coauthor in cracking the rich code and it's endorsed by Tony Robbins.

00:06:27.545 --> 00:06:35.891
Yeah, jim's like really good friends with Tony, gave him his first job, was able to like have this wonderful conversation.

00:06:35.891 --> 00:06:49.329
So I wound up talking to Jim for, like I don't know, two and a half hours and at the end of the day and he's like 25 years older than me, at the end of the day I was like we need to be best friends, like our lives just kept intersecting.

00:06:49.329 --> 00:06:54.740
It was so amazing, right, that just his story and my story.

00:06:54.740 --> 00:07:13.733
So, yeah, really resonated beautifully and he was putting together this book and so it launched a couple of weeks ago ago, went number one in the US and Canada, so super exciting to be part of that.

00:07:13.733 --> 00:07:18.322
So it was just like you know, I guess manifestation just sometimes takes some time.

00:07:19.105 --> 00:07:30.250
Um, so Cracking the Rich Code chapter four, volume 14, is actually, I thought, how am I going to maybe start for myself, right?

00:07:30.250 --> 00:07:47.788
Because if you ever listen to Liz Gilbert, like I love her book Big Magic, and it really talks about like living this creative lifestyle and as a photographer, you know, or an artist, or a book writer, or you know someone who's starting their own business, I always think it's good to look at different points of view.

00:07:47.788 --> 00:08:13.673
And so I was listening to Big Magic again and I was laughing because she's just like, just commit, just do it, just write every day, even if you don't want to, just like start a new perspective on things which you know I am huge in this sliding scale of perspective and priority Like I think it changes, it has the ability to change everything.

00:08:13.673 --> 00:08:17.389
Like your perspective on something can change everything.

00:08:17.389 --> 00:08:21.043
It can make you happy, it can make you sad, hopefully more happy and grateful.

00:08:21.043 --> 00:08:26.572
And so I said what am I going to do for Jim's book?

00:08:26.572 --> 00:08:34.107
And sat back and said I'm going to write a letter to myself from 10 years ago.

00:08:35.629 --> 00:08:46.212
So 10 years ago is when I left the corporate world, I retired from the corporate world and just decided to do my hard work.

00:08:46.212 --> 00:08:50.605
You know, I call all my um clairvoyance and my energy healing.

00:08:50.605 --> 00:08:58.265
That I've been doing for 40 years, but I call it hard work, um, and so I?

00:08:58.265 --> 00:08:59.568
That's what I did.

00:08:59.568 --> 00:09:03.523
I sat down and kind of took an inventory of my life and said who am I, right?

00:09:03.523 --> 00:09:06.147
So don't you love especially look at dating apps and stuff.

00:09:06.167 --> 00:09:13.166
When people say who are you and people say like in my case, I'd say like, oh, I'm a.

00:09:13.166 --> 00:09:16.993
In the olden days, I'd say, oh, I'm a corporate marketer, right?

00:09:16.993 --> 00:09:20.505
That's not who I am, that's what I do, right?

00:09:20.505 --> 00:09:42.052
So I started taking an inventory about who I was, what I have accomplished, and then it kind of like tells the story of almost 10 years ago, when, you know, I say God kicked my butt and he said I was tired of waiting for me and to start going on my path and doing what I do now, which is, you know, I'm an angel communicator.

00:09:42.052 --> 00:09:43.504
I help people get on their paths.

00:09:43.504 --> 00:09:46.100
Um, and I'm lucky to do it.

00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:54.485
I'm a gratitude expert, um, and a guest speaker, and I had always wanted to be a number one bestseller, and so I said you know what?

00:09:54.485 --> 00:09:55.489
I'm just going to take an inventory.

00:09:55.489 --> 00:10:09.125
So I wrote this letter to myself as if I was starting eight years ago and I said look, this is what's going to happen, this is why it's good for it to happen, and this is what the goal will ultimately be.

00:10:09.125 --> 00:10:13.095
And it was very healing.

00:10:13.095 --> 00:10:29.908
It was really amazing to do that and to look back, and so I was really grateful I did that, and then what it led to is really what the next book is going to be, which hopefully, will be out in November and December.

00:10:29.969 --> 00:10:35.592
You know editors and all that kind of stuff or editing, cause you know you read your same work.

00:10:35.592 --> 00:10:37.961
It's again part of being like that creative process.

00:10:37.961 --> 00:10:40.405
It's never perfect, right?

00:10:40.405 --> 00:10:51.767
You're like, ah, it's not perfect, um so, but yeah, the next book is called the empowerment approach and it is what has been coming to me.

00:10:51.767 --> 00:10:53.770
I say they're little angel whispers.

00:10:53.770 --> 00:11:00.186
Um, that's this five techniques that keep coming forward.

00:11:00.186 --> 00:11:03.270
So this way, then, people can help themselves.

00:11:04.211 --> 00:11:04.732
Yeah.

00:11:05.573 --> 00:11:06.514
It's amazing.

00:11:06.514 --> 00:11:13.928
So, yeah, it's this little story of these five wonderful techniques that you can learn for yourself.

00:11:13.928 --> 00:11:28.265
So it's interesting getting it all down because you know when you just do it, you know how to do it, but all of a sudden, now you have to be really cognizant of every single step so you can tell somebody how to do it and not leave anything out.

00:11:28.265 --> 00:11:34.258
Right, yeah, definitely, yeah, so, yeah.

00:11:34.258 --> 00:11:35.681
So that's super exciting.

00:11:35.681 --> 00:11:42.990
So the empowerment approach will come out and hopefully it'll help a lot of people get some answers that they can help themselves.

00:11:43.090 --> 00:11:46.081
And you know, nadine, I am totally open.

00:11:46.081 --> 00:11:48.144
I want to help as many people as possible.

00:11:48.144 --> 00:11:51.471
Come, please, call me, let's get together.

00:11:51.471 --> 00:11:57.349
You know, 90% of my business is online and international.

00:11:57.349 --> 00:12:04.030
It doesn't have to be in person, um, but you can't reach 10 million people all by myself.

00:12:04.030 --> 00:12:18.344
But if I can reach 10 million people all by myself, but if I can reach 10 million people, you know, to help them help themselves with some words from from source God, universe, whatever your term is to look at yourself differently or look at the situation differently.

00:12:18.344 --> 00:12:25.707
I'm like, wow, that's, that's a plus, right, that's in the plus, like hitting a home run.

00:12:25.888 --> 00:12:28.052
So yeah, that is so cool.

00:12:28.052 --> 00:12:37.740
Yeah, some days I'm like I just wish I could clone myself a couple of times, you know, because I have the emails.

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:40.649
I have the Facebook messenger emails coming in.

00:12:40.649 --> 00:12:47.942
I have social media TikTok and Instagram which I kind of like, and I don't really need to read those emails.

00:12:47.942 --> 00:12:54.801
But when I'm working now full time, I'm like, okay, I get a break.

00:12:54.801 --> 00:12:59.892
If there's something urgent, urgent that I can answer, then I can do it that way.

00:12:59.892 --> 00:13:08.543
But I've gotten to a point where I used to you used to have an email and it was apply, you're writing something.

00:13:08.543 --> 00:13:14.889
But now I think I'm going to just reply with my voice hey, thank you, because it goes so much faster.

00:13:14.889 --> 00:13:18.206
This is what you need to do and then I can get it done.

00:13:18.206 --> 00:13:23.812
So it's just how to get it done faster and do these things.

00:13:24.763 --> 00:13:26.269
I have little goals for me.

00:13:26.269 --> 00:13:32.208
I noticed and I sit back and go but really, nadine, what are you doing?

00:13:32.208 --> 00:13:37.820
Are you going to take a weekend out to do a course and get certified on this too, like.

00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:40.809
But it's on my bucket list, right?

00:13:40.809 --> 00:13:50.866
And then I started really thinking as with going on to this networking thing, the dating perfectly paired.

00:13:50.866 --> 00:13:57.312
I want to write a book Because you know when you're getting married, you're going to church.

00:13:57.312 --> 00:14:02.456
Oh, you need to come to our class before I say I do class and work book.

00:14:02.456 --> 00:14:05.504
Where's the book?

00:14:05.504 --> 00:14:09.080
It says before I say I'll go on a date with you.

00:14:12.044 --> 00:14:15.951
I mean, I've started to go through this journey.

00:14:15.951 --> 00:14:19.121
Do I want to talk to somebody for one week and then meet them?

00:14:19.121 --> 00:14:25.231
Or do I like the fact that I can talk to them for a month and meet them?

00:14:25.231 --> 00:14:39.129
And I already know the answer, because I tried both and it's the month I liked it because I felt like I already knew them, I knew what I was walking into and it made me feel more secure.

00:14:39.129 --> 00:14:49.413
But it's like whenever book writers, you know, you're kind of testing the waters out too and you want to make sure that what you're writing is good and perfect.

00:14:49.413 --> 00:14:55.452
But you know, with so many different personalities out there and learning people, it's fun.

00:14:55.639 --> 00:15:15.660
Sometimes I'll just go to the karaoke, sit there at the bar and I can hear all these stories about relationships, love, divorce, running away and I'm like this is my comedy hour, like I'm eavesdropping on these stories, you know, and it's.

00:15:15.660 --> 00:15:19.071
It's funny because it builds these new topics.

00:15:19.071 --> 00:15:22.861
You know, what is the world really facing?

00:15:22.861 --> 00:15:28.870
I mean, I think we live in the world now that we're working so much.

00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:35.009
And somebody was like, don't you use one of your weekdays to get caught up on laundry and food shopping?

00:15:35.009 --> 00:15:45.589
And I'm like, yeah, and then I go and I do podcasts, and then I may want to do one thing for me, but it's weird because it's all about time management.

00:15:45.589 --> 00:15:50.451
And I was like I know I need my hair done, but that takes like two hours.

00:15:50.451 --> 00:15:52.302
Where am I going to find two hours?

00:15:52.302 --> 00:15:56.693
And it was just the craziest thing, girl.

00:15:56.693 --> 00:16:00.322
I was like I'm seeing how people will manage the time.

00:16:00.322 --> 00:16:09.546
You know, it was at my niece's birthday and this I walked away to sit on the comfy couch and it was another mother with her laptop.

00:16:09.605 --> 00:16:17.225
She goes, my kid plays out there for six hours and you would be amazed how much work I get done.

00:16:17.225 --> 00:16:20.692
And I was like, oh yeah, I believe it.

00:16:20.692 --> 00:16:23.826
Like I could have so much done if I had my laptop too.

00:16:23.826 --> 00:16:33.381
But you know, it's just those weird ways of finding how to be with your kid too and try to be out there in the world and try it like karaoke.

00:16:33.381 --> 00:16:35.908
I love singing, so I have to balance so much.

00:16:37.232 --> 00:17:23.214
You know it's so funny because I totally agree and I call that like a sliding scale of priority, right, so you've brought your child to practice and, yes, of course you're going to interact a little bit because you want to make sure that they know that you're being present, right, and to, like I say, I don't know what I would do without my phone, because it's a little computer, so my emails are on there and my scheduling is on there, and even if every 15 minutes I spend 10 minutes watching my kids right, because I want to be those 15 minutes, I can get a ton done, where forcing myself to go into the office to sit down doesn't always happen.

00:17:23.214 --> 00:17:26.823
And so that's what I call this, the sliding scale of priority.

00:17:26.823 --> 00:17:38.769
So, for the priority is to be there for my kids, so I'm going to go and I'm going to drop them off and then I'm going to sit with them because I want them to know that, and then for 15 minutes that scale probably changes a little.

00:17:38.769 --> 00:17:41.441
It's more about work than it is about mommy.

00:17:41.441 --> 00:18:01.266
But there's still mommy in there, right, cause I'm still there, and then after 15 minutes I kind of shut it down for me, and then I'm present for 15 minutes and my scale for being mommy is really high and my work's fairly low and then I'll be like, okay, it's been 15 minutes, I'm going to go check and do the next thing on my list.

00:18:01.346 --> 00:18:12.784
And sometimes, like I am a paper and pen kind of girl, I love paper and pen or pencil and so then I cross it off and then I'm like okay, next thing, cause you know, it's the little things that drive you crazy.

00:18:12.784 --> 00:18:17.740
It's the little like fill your brain and make all this noise.

00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:22.887
And so that's another one of the steps is how do you quiet the noise?

00:18:22.887 --> 00:18:26.352
How do you be a good parent?

00:18:26.813 --> 00:18:29.036
I have the answer, but you're not going to like it.

00:18:29.036 --> 00:18:32.484
I have to take an.

00:18:33.068 --> 00:18:34.376
Ambien to quiet the noise.

00:18:34.376 --> 00:18:34.759
That's it.

00:18:36.202 --> 00:18:37.767
I'm talking about during the day.

00:18:37.767 --> 00:18:40.012
Yeah, not during the day, but at night.

00:18:40.012 --> 00:18:47.050
You know, yeah, you have to block yourself out and like even working is so quiet in there.

00:18:47.050 --> 00:18:51.791
We can't have our phones there, which was like a music source too.

00:18:51.791 --> 00:18:58.028
But you know, when you're doing 400 aisles a day, it'd be nice to have like background music.

00:18:58.028 --> 00:19:10.432
If not, you're going to just start singing by yourself, whether you're a good singer or a bad singer, but yeah, Right, Do it Because you're happy.

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:14.426
So it's like I don't know, Can you put one in one ear?

00:19:14.426 --> 00:19:18.191
You know, can you put an iPad AirPod in one ear?

00:19:20.661 --> 00:19:23.130
Yeah, I would say you probably could.

00:19:23.130 --> 00:19:38.650
The funniest thing for me when I get on the phone with somebody, there's a different culture I have to use am music might be a little bit of distraction, take the air pot out just for that call.

00:19:38.650 --> 00:19:55.223
And then you know, there's funny things that always happen when, and they go.

00:19:55.223 --> 00:19:57.306
Well, I need to order a pizza.

00:19:57.306 --> 00:20:13.940
I need a large, thick crust, pepperoni and sausage.

00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:17.190
I go, can you deliver some to me too?

00:20:17.190 --> 00:20:19.205
Wait, is this not the pizza place?

00:20:19.205 --> 00:20:20.744
No, no, no, no.

00:20:20.744 --> 00:20:23.710
I do A, b, c, d, E, but I'm hungry too.

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:36.448
You know, it's just the funniest thing, and I think you know I would love to do a show on customer service, because I don't think people realize this.

00:20:36.448 --> 00:20:45.814
You know, if somebody's calling you and they don't pick up and talk to you, you're a call the next couple hours or even day.

00:20:45.814 --> 00:20:49.309
Oh my gosh, it's harassment, right, whatever.

00:20:49.309 --> 00:20:53.586
But you pick up and tell us no, not interested.

00:20:53.586 --> 00:20:54.785
Thank you for reaching out.

00:20:54.785 --> 00:20:57.728
You're like six months pushed.

00:20:57.728 --> 00:20:59.453
Wow, imagine that.

00:20:59.453 --> 00:21:12.653
Like it's nice just to hear somebody pick up the phone and can be like oh, thank you for calling, but no, so, but you know, it's those little things we learn in life, right?

00:21:14.280 --> 00:21:14.823
It's true.

00:21:14.823 --> 00:21:16.347
Yeah, that's so true.

00:21:16.347 --> 00:21:18.935
I know my line is you typically?

00:21:18.935 --> 00:21:26.884
Well, I always listen to someone when they call, right, and usually it's like oh, like, oh, thanks for the opportunity, but that doesn't work for me right now, you know.

00:21:26.884 --> 00:21:29.973
So it's just be authentic, be who you.

00:21:30.134 --> 00:21:53.684
Yeah, because there's still another human on the other end of the phone right yeah, yeah, like to give grace or give someone some attention or give someone a positive thing, because if you're kind to that person on the phone, in front of the cash register, whatever it is, that's what you're surrounding your life with.

00:21:53.684 --> 00:21:55.431
You know that's what you're.

00:21:55.431 --> 00:21:56.575
So it's funny.

00:21:56.575 --> 00:22:09.886
I just read something recently about um, like if you're having a bad day and you're filling your cup up with things and you run into somebody and your cup spills, what is it spill?

00:22:09.886 --> 00:22:10.996
Like what's in your cup?

00:22:10.996 --> 00:22:15.128
And it's not about like tea or coffee or scotch, right?

00:22:15.128 --> 00:22:17.396
It's more about how do you fill your life.

00:22:17.416 --> 00:22:19.625
So, do you fill your life with positive affirmation and giving people the benefit of the doubt or grace, right?

00:22:19.625 --> 00:22:20.367
Is that what you fill your cup with?

00:22:20.367 --> 00:22:23.859
Or do you fill your life with positive affirmation and giving people the benefit of the doubt or grace, right?

00:22:23.859 --> 00:22:25.163
Is that what you fill your cup with?

00:22:25.163 --> 00:22:26.286
Or do you fill your cup with?

00:22:26.286 --> 00:22:32.846
You know, crankiness and despondency and not kindness.

00:22:32.846 --> 00:22:34.710
So it's like I think about that.

00:22:34.710 --> 00:22:39.481
When my cup spills, I want goodness to spill out of that.

00:22:39.481 --> 00:22:45.576
I want love and appreciation and gratitude to spill from that cup.

00:22:45.576 --> 00:22:50.146
So this one, maybe someone will have that for me one day, right, because it's really not hard.

00:22:50.146 --> 00:22:59.183
You just have to choose, like you have to choose to be happy, you have to choose to be kind, and I really do believe it's a choice.

00:22:59.203 --> 00:23:03.023
It is a choice, I really do believe it's a choice it is a choice.

00:23:09.321 --> 00:23:14.974
When my kids were small, my husband traveled 100% of the time Because we moved here and then his job stayed back east, so he only came in on the weekends.

00:23:14.974 --> 00:23:24.117
And I remember some of the girls you know, two small kids, like two under five and they were like, oh my God, how do you do it?

00:23:24.117 --> 00:23:25.041
How do you do it?

00:23:25.041 --> 00:23:28.294
And I was like, well, what's what's my choice?

00:23:28.294 --> 00:23:29.356
I don't understand.

00:23:29.356 --> 00:23:32.705
You do it every day, step by step.

00:23:32.705 --> 00:23:37.798
You do it the best you can Not that it's an excuse, right, but you do it.

00:23:37.798 --> 00:23:41.182
You just pull your big curl panties on.

00:23:41.182 --> 00:23:44.005
Maybe they're sexy under there.

00:23:44.005 --> 00:23:47.269
So you feel good about yourself and you do it.

00:23:47.269 --> 00:23:48.490
You take the next step.

00:23:48.490 --> 00:23:58.154
You just decide not to make the world pay for whatever the decisions are or the things that have happened to you or for you, yeah, so yeah.

00:23:58.255 --> 00:24:02.835
And even that, like sometimes I say, oh, the universe was working for me, even though my husband wasn't with me.

00:24:02.835 --> 00:24:03.798
My kids and I are like sometimes I say, oh, the universe was working for me even though my husband wasn't with me.

00:24:03.798 --> 00:24:23.769
My kids and I are like this oh my God, we're glue, like because I just proved time after time that it's what was right for me, like dad's not around, loves you, but I'm here and I, you know, I was grateful for the situation.

00:24:23.769 --> 00:24:35.036
So, cause I got to um, like, stay with them and be present, I was very blessed that I didn't have to work a full-time job too.

00:24:35.036 --> 00:24:36.238
You know, that's it's.

00:24:36.238 --> 00:24:40.343
It makes life hard sometimes, but if you go.

00:24:40.983 --> 00:24:44.248
you know not that we don't have sad moments.

00:24:44.248 --> 00:24:45.490
We all do, yeah.

00:24:47.214 --> 00:24:49.002
I mean, I'm grateful for my mom.

00:24:49.002 --> 00:24:54.807
I have to live with her now, but you know she helps me.

00:24:54.807 --> 00:25:06.779
I'm starting to get back on my feet, so I'm starting to pay for the room that I'm renting out for me and my son, but she'll help me watch Liam at times.

00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:11.689
So I call it my mommy breaks, which are really karaoke days.

00:25:11.689 --> 00:25:23.816
But when you are working full time, your kiddo is going to school, but the kid comes home and has sports, or they're on the computer playing video games.

00:25:23.816 --> 00:25:25.298
That's their away time.

00:25:25.298 --> 00:25:36.500
Or I'm going fishing Okay, there's nothing to do with me, and I'm going to just sit here and I'm going to twiddle my thumbs like, okay, you're still being a good parent, he's still having fun.

00:25:36.882 --> 00:25:43.361
But when I decide to have a mommy time, when I decide to have a mommy time, where are you going?

00:25:43.361 --> 00:25:45.646
Well, you got to do ABCDE.

00:25:45.646 --> 00:25:53.461
Mommy just wants like three hours, please.

00:25:53.461 --> 00:25:56.585
But I just, you know, I'm just grateful.

00:25:56.585 --> 00:26:04.842
You know, as a single mom and his he never met his father I have to wear both hats and I've learned a lot.

00:26:04.842 --> 00:26:08.734
You know, as a single mom and he never met his father, I have to wear both hats and I've learned a lot.

00:26:08.755 --> 00:26:09.395
You know is very hard.

00:26:09.395 --> 00:26:31.026
I think one of the things that opened up was the football and we had a really good coach, but he was also a father figure to my son, figure to my son and then my best well, my best friend, her son it's Liam's friend, basically, but the father has taught him hunting and fishing and paintball, and I look at that going.

00:26:31.026 --> 00:26:36.228
He's learning another side of what's out there besides football and baseball and basketball.

00:26:36.228 --> 00:26:44.832
And so I'm starting this new thing where it's going to be a family tradition, and I'm going to rent a cabin.

00:26:44.832 --> 00:26:54.773
Now here's the thing as a fishing pond, right, so I'm catering to my son's needs, but there's a hot tub inside the cabin, so I'm catering to my needs too.

00:26:55.615 --> 00:26:57.440
Exactly, there is a win-win.

00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:59.425
There can always be a win-win.

00:27:00.394 --> 00:27:05.336
Yes, as long as there's coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night, I am fine.

00:27:05.336 --> 00:27:15.557
But yeah, it's just go hike in, enjoy nature and come back with the sense of I can do anything.

00:27:15.557 --> 00:27:20.946
I took time out for myself, I'm grateful for these things, and that's how I look at it.

00:27:21.106 --> 00:27:24.019
So that beautiful, it's so great.

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:38.782
I love when you do that and you know, I think you know they say self-care and everyone's like, oh, I have to be like at a spa and pay like a thousand dollars a day or something crazy and that's not really self-care.

00:27:38.782 --> 00:27:59.343
So I mean it can be, don't get me wrong but then people put these limits on it and self-care is really, you know, like going fishing with your son or having a camp you guys can be together in, or having breakfast with your mom and your son, right, like self-care are moments.

00:27:59.343 --> 00:28:06.765
They don't have to be like these extravagant adventures self-care day, you can self-care whatever.

00:28:06.765 --> 00:28:09.250
That is like I am.

00:28:09.671 --> 00:28:29.872
I love to read, but I have no time to read, right, you can tell like I'm a book nerd but, exactly to listen to books, um, or I like to read books, but I wasn't having any time, so I am, um, I listened to books now, um, you can get them on Libby and do audible books for free and like that's my self-care.

00:28:29.872 --> 00:28:41.700
I could be chopping vegetables or driving somewhere or getting a haircut, um, but I can listen and that's like this beautiful self-care.

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:46.057
Again, yeah, perception right, scale a priority.

00:28:46.057 --> 00:28:50.315
When you're having a glass of wine at the end of the day, it's because you're caring.

00:28:50.315 --> 00:28:51.557
I know people.

00:28:51.557 --> 00:29:00.443
Some people say, oh, you know you're not having a bottle of wine at the end of the day, it doesn't matter, you can be having a glass of wine, you could be having club soda, whatever you want.

00:29:00.443 --> 00:29:03.528
But the point is, is that it's a moment for you?

00:29:03.528 --> 00:29:06.059
It's a moment, it's reflective, right?

00:29:06.059 --> 00:29:09.384
It's so beautiful that you get to do that for yourself.

00:29:09.384 --> 00:29:11.381
I'm so proud of you, nadine.

00:29:11.381 --> 00:29:12.064
It's not easy.

00:29:15.215 --> 00:29:17.805
Just taking that moment out just to breathe.

00:29:17.805 --> 00:29:22.025
It's like, man, it could be a glass of milk with one cookie here.

00:29:22.025 --> 00:29:25.519
You know what Today's self-help is going to be.

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:32.785
Because of my throat being sore, I was like Bahama books Sounds pretty good, get ice in my throat.

00:29:32.785 --> 00:29:36.736
And it's so bad because I think my mom is making steaks.

00:29:36.736 --> 00:29:47.787
They look good, but when you feel sick you're like you know, and I was like I'm going to try, but I'm probably going to do the dishes and run out and go get that Bahama.

00:29:50.116 --> 00:29:52.821
But then she makes that'll be sweet.

00:29:52.821 --> 00:29:55.788
Eat the mashed potatoes she makes with the steaks.

00:29:57.415 --> 00:30:00.080
Oh yes, and I definitely need to do that.

00:30:00.080 --> 00:30:13.497
So, but yesterday maybe that's how I got sick I was at a kid's party and they had a cafe place, but I was surprised they had coffee cappuccino.

00:30:13.497 --> 00:30:16.041
I'm like it's a kid's place.

00:30:16.041 --> 00:30:21.943
And then I saw strawberry banana smoothie and I'm like let me go for that.

00:30:21.943 --> 00:30:27.422
And it's funny because ever since my surgeries, I guess I was a snacker all the time.

00:30:27.422 --> 00:30:32.019
If people see me with a healthy drink, they are like are you okay?

00:30:32.019 --> 00:30:35.627
I'm like, yes, are you okay?

00:30:35.627 --> 00:30:42.626
I've never had a cappuccino until like five months ago.

00:30:42.626 --> 00:30:49.414
And I'm like I really don't know what it's called, but I know there's like little cinnamon sprinkles and I like hazelnut.

00:30:49.414 --> 00:30:55.967
And I'm not trying to be a Karen about my drink or anything, but it's just I don't know.

00:30:55.967 --> 00:31:04.228
Surprise me, put something foam and cinnamon and maybe vanilla or hazelnut and I'll try this.

00:31:04.228 --> 00:31:11.646
And I was like, oh wow, I'm in heaven just opened a new coffee house.

00:31:11.787 --> 00:31:15.176
Yesterday we went to their grand opening and I had this drink I'd never had.

00:31:15.176 --> 00:31:18.602
It was um chata.

00:31:18.602 --> 00:31:24.236
It was like a mushroom coffee but it had shots of espresso in it and I did the same thing.

00:31:24.236 --> 00:31:31.882
I'm like they were like it's cinnamon and chocolate and coffee and foam and I was like I'll try it.

00:31:31.882 --> 00:31:33.105
Yeah, it was delicious.

00:31:36.455 --> 00:31:38.038
Just get out there and try new things.

00:31:38.038 --> 00:31:48.530
They're opening a tea house right next to the house here and I was like tea when I was younger I'd be saying, oh, that's for old people.

00:31:48.530 --> 00:31:55.808
But now I guess I am old and I heard tea, but I don't know what kind.

00:31:55.808 --> 00:31:57.117
I think it has honey in it.

00:31:57.117 --> 00:32:09.455
But to keep from laryngitis, yeah, because now doing a podcast and work, my voice is my job and I'm like, if I don't have that, where am I so?

00:32:09.455 --> 00:32:13.339
You know, I don't know Even singing karaoke.

00:32:13.339 --> 00:32:14.635
I'm like, where am I so?

00:32:14.635 --> 00:32:18.086
But I always try to hold that mic far away when I sing.

00:32:18.086 --> 00:32:20.201
I don't want to have other people's germs on there.

00:32:21.525 --> 00:32:24.002
Right, go buy your own mic so you can click it in.

00:32:24.002 --> 00:32:40.088
And my son's a singer, and so there's this stuff that's called throat coat and it's a tea Doesn't taste great, I'm not going to lie to you, but some people really like it.

00:32:40.088 --> 00:32:46.763
But, yeah, you can have tea and have throat coat and it'll help you with your voice when you're singing, when you're talking.

00:32:46.763 --> 00:32:47.727
You know that's your.

00:32:47.727 --> 00:32:50.824
If that's your life instrument, you have to take care of it, right.

00:32:51.835 --> 00:32:59.509
Yeah, you definitely do, and it's just that's another thing, guys, of self-help, you know.

00:32:59.509 --> 00:33:04.481
And the other thing you mentioned about self-care people going out doing things.

00:33:04.481 --> 00:33:06.823
I have changed that.

00:33:06.823 --> 00:33:12.603
As much as I want to go get my hair done, they charge me $200.

00:33:12.603 --> 00:33:19.705
I don't have an extra $200 to get it fully dyed, so I decided to embrace the gray hair coming in.

00:33:19.705 --> 00:33:25.467
Don't be that person who is like I got to go.

00:33:25.467 --> 00:33:27.922
Yeah, I miss getting my nails done.

00:33:28.275 --> 00:33:36.221
But then I saw something on a reel and it's a dipping powder and it's like you put your own coats and it comes up and I tried it and I liked it.

00:33:36.221 --> 00:33:39.961
But my biggest problem is when I have nail polish on.

00:33:39.961 --> 00:33:40.983
I think it's a game.

00:33:40.983 --> 00:33:42.520
How quickly can I get it off?

00:33:42.520 --> 00:33:48.761
Yeah, it doesn't last.

00:33:48.761 --> 00:33:50.567
I'm not one of those girly girls.

00:33:50.567 --> 00:34:01.127
Yeah, so, but oh my gosh, but we got to keep the laughter in life going too right.

00:34:01.127 --> 00:34:04.357
Oh my gosh, but we got to keep the laughter in life going too right.

00:34:04.357 --> 00:34:05.118
We got to laugh at our own fumbles.

00:34:05.118 --> 00:34:07.683
I've been told before I can talk about something.

00:34:07.683 --> 00:34:08.686
Change subject.

00:34:08.686 --> 00:34:13.809
And one of my friend goes you have a squirrel moment, so now I call it the squirrel moment.

00:34:13.809 --> 00:34:19.985
And then yesterday somebody is like I really don't understand, what are we talking about now?

00:34:19.985 --> 00:34:22.009
And I'm like, oh my gosh.

00:34:22.009 --> 00:34:24.541
Another one thinks I'm having a squirrel moment.

00:34:24.541 --> 00:34:25.425
Who cares?

00:34:27.655 --> 00:34:28.599
That's part of fun.

00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:30.081
You know it's all about the journey.

00:34:30.081 --> 00:34:31.420
I say it all the time.

00:34:31.420 --> 00:34:32.980
It's about the journey.

00:34:32.980 --> 00:34:33.737
Where are we going?

00:34:33.737 --> 00:34:38.342
In the conversation and life it's all about like, where are we going, when are things taking us?

00:34:38.342 --> 00:34:43.242
Because you can find some amazing things when the road just meets us.

00:34:43.403 --> 00:34:48.565
So I think yeah, I think yeah, exactly.

00:34:48.565 --> 00:34:56.239
So I know the weekend's already up, but do you have future plans going into the fall Christmas?

00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:57.641
Have you start Christmas shopping?

00:34:58.664 --> 00:34:59.224
I have.

00:34:59.224 --> 00:35:04.405
I am that girl when I see something special, I'll pick it up for someone.

00:35:04.405 --> 00:35:05.757
So yeah, it's so funny.

00:35:05.757 --> 00:35:09.467
I actually have, like my shopping, my Christmas list.

00:35:09.467 --> 00:35:10.516
Look, it's right here, I swear.

00:35:11.016 --> 00:35:16.987
Oh my goodness, what'd you say?

00:35:16.987 --> 00:35:21.340
Where's my name, my name on there, yet yes, of course it is.

00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:22.384
Let me put that down right now.

00:35:26.896 --> 00:35:30.061
I'm just kidding, oh my gosh.

00:35:30.061 --> 00:35:34.400
So if you could have anything for Christmas, what are you going to ask for?

00:35:38.755 --> 00:35:39.719
If I could have anything for Christmas really.

00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:50.128
Um, if I get anything for Christmas really, I you know, you get to a point in your life when you're like, oh my gosh, I have so much.

00:35:50.128 --> 00:35:54.420
So I think I'm really more about experiences.

00:35:54.420 --> 00:36:16.521
So I'd love to go on on like a small vacation with my family, like my extended family, my parents, my brothers, my kids, and just spend like I don't know, five or six days away, just with us, like all on the same page, which is hard to get everybody on the same page.

00:36:16.521 --> 00:36:19.007
I just want to be on the same page.

00:36:19.007 --> 00:36:28.650
And I'm a beach girl Like love the ocean, I love the I am so it's like let's just run to mexico for like four or five days.

00:36:28.710 --> 00:36:38.072
The whole family play games until we're sick of it and you know, drink and coconut milk and have a great time.

00:36:38.072 --> 00:36:43.487
Coconut juice and have a great water, coconut water oh, that's awesome that's all.

00:36:43.487 --> 00:36:45.800
That's what I think I really want.

00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:53.144
So I'm not sure what I'll get, but that's what I want it's just like watch this episode, kids.

00:36:53.846 --> 00:36:54.748
You know where to get me.

00:36:54.748 --> 00:37:00.045
I already know what I really want, but I will never it.

00:37:00.045 --> 00:37:10.748
And now I have to be like if there is a potential person, I do like I will bring it up, but I've always wanted a pet tortoise.

00:37:12.275 --> 00:37:14.762
Oh gosh, I have a girlfriend that has two.

00:37:14.762 --> 00:37:17.007
You know you have to will them to people.

00:37:17.335 --> 00:37:21.318
Yes, I do, and I tried to talk to my brother about it.

00:37:21.318 --> 00:37:31.525
He's like, uh no, okay so, but yeah, they're so cute.

00:37:31.525 --> 00:37:44.563
I've been doing some studying at night, before falling asleep, of how to take care of them and I want to train my tortoise to walk down the aisle to be the ring bearer and they make a little tuxedo.

00:37:44.563 --> 00:37:52.521
Yes, I was like I want to be that person, but I was watching.

00:37:54.275 --> 00:37:58.847
I was going to say if there's not a business out there, you can at least do it with starting a business.

00:37:58.847 --> 00:38:00.360
They could be ring bearers for you.

00:38:01.916 --> 00:38:07.960
You may have to start them the day before To get to the end.

00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:09.440
That's what they want to do.

00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:14.023
Yeah, there was a couple outdoor weddings.

00:38:14.023 --> 00:38:14.605
I did.

00:38:14.605 --> 00:38:20.210
I was like how cute, but people are hiring penguins because they're already in tux.

00:38:21.012 --> 00:38:21.675
How cute is that.

00:38:21.835 --> 00:38:22.958
So there's different things.

00:38:22.958 --> 00:38:25.226
I mean, the dub can't be the only thing.

00:38:25.226 --> 00:38:55.704
I mean here I'm going to open a cage and let the bird fly away, and I would want the dub back, exactly so, but definitely, yeah, there's just so many different things that I'm starting to see like when I'm dry-hopping down here, the leaves are already changing and I'm like, ooh pretty, but I've never been a fan of when they're all gone and it's just stick trees and I'm like, eh, come on spring.

00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:05.376
Well, maybe when they have their jewelry on, you know, when it's like ice, I love like it feels like jewelry.

00:39:05.376 --> 00:39:07.380
Right, think of it that way.

00:39:07.380 --> 00:39:22.547
When they, when it snows or you have an ice storm and the trees what is that?

00:39:22.626 --> 00:39:23.768
I'm kidding, I'm like what is?

00:39:23.927 --> 00:39:34.251
that I love fall and yeah, that's how I get past the sticks is thinking of the jewelry with ice and ice rainfall that is so cool.

00:39:34.371 --> 00:39:49.103
I remember in jersey seeing the icicles coming down and when my grandfather was alive he's like Nadine, you can always take an icicle off at the house and suck it, it's not going to hurt you.

00:39:49.103 --> 00:39:52.076
And I was like, okay, but he was so funny.

00:39:52.076 --> 00:39:55.065
As a kid I remember everything he taught me.

00:39:55.065 --> 00:40:02.405
You always want to dust your room, it will make your mom happy, but the most funny.

00:40:02.405 --> 00:40:06.318
Or the pine needle in the mouth, it's okay, these are like toothpicks.

00:40:06.318 --> 00:40:07.061
And then he goes.

00:40:07.061 --> 00:40:10.467
You never want to eat the yellow snow.

00:40:12.115 --> 00:40:13.641
That's perfect advice.

00:40:14.735 --> 00:40:19.623
Yes, so yeah, I miss him.

00:40:19.623 --> 00:40:23.869
I wish I could have a one-on-one interview, even though he's passed.

00:40:23.869 --> 00:40:32.664
I guess he talked about time travel or something before he left and I was like how much did he know?

00:40:32.664 --> 00:40:37.047
Am I my grandfather's real granddaughter here?

00:40:37.047 --> 00:40:45.889
I wish I could just talk to him and interview him again and see what he was learning and everything.

00:40:47.699 --> 00:40:50.599
So but oh, that's kind of what I do, right.

00:40:51.159 --> 00:41:00.208
Yeah, I know, I know yeah never, so like you're still taking on clients for that right.

00:41:01.112 --> 00:41:02.135

00:41:31.507 --> 00:41:33.681
How do I go about doing something?

00:41:33.681 --> 00:41:34.900
Am I on the path?

00:41:34.900 --> 00:41:40.748
It's all those beautiful ways of giving you the opportunity to have your best life.

00:41:40.748 --> 00:41:41.661
You know it's a.

00:41:41.661 --> 00:41:50.016
It's this amazing gift that I am so honored to have, and you know I take really seriously as much fun as I like to have.

00:41:50.016 --> 00:41:57.079
You know, the message part, the angel talk, the angel communication, is something I take really seriously.

00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:00.286
It's so important because it's special.

00:42:00.286 --> 00:42:04.855
You know it's so important because it's special you know it's just special.

00:42:05.215 --> 00:42:07.923
So yeah, it is and I love it.

00:42:07.923 --> 00:42:15.478
Like, if you're not, everybody gets in danger.

00:42:15.478 --> 00:42:18.574
But I went through something that I really don't talk about, where knives were put in my face.

00:42:18.574 --> 00:42:20.661
I thought somebody was going to hurt me.

00:42:20.661 --> 00:42:30.590
They said it was because God gave me the gift to have a podcast and help people, so I had to get out of there.

00:42:30.590 --> 00:42:33.760
I said one thing wrong, like let's talk about this.

00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:39.719
But then I changed my words and if you were going to do this, you would have done it by now.

00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:43.347
I'm getting out and that's the only way I saved myself.

00:42:43.494 --> 00:42:54.467
But I felt like my angels were with me in that situation and I always say, why am I seeing beautiful like North Stars by me?

00:42:54.467 --> 00:42:57.704
And I just so, I just called my angels.

00:42:57.704 --> 00:43:02.923
I had to, and I was like, oh my gosh, thank God for them too.

00:43:02.923 --> 00:43:09.021
But when I got out of this situation, I called the cops and it's not a misdemeanor.

00:43:09.021 --> 00:43:10.523
She has no bruises.

00:43:10.523 --> 00:43:16.652
Oh, really, seriously, okay, so the next person.

00:43:16.652 --> 00:43:20.980
I feel bad for that, but you know it's just.

00:43:20.980 --> 00:43:30.307
You know, having your angels by you, knowing and going through services, you know, I know I want to have one.

00:43:30.307 --> 00:43:32.811
I will pay you right now.

00:43:32.811 --> 00:43:35.416
Girl, where are you going?

00:43:35.416 --> 00:43:37.860
Oh, you're like shrinking all down.

00:43:37.860 --> 00:43:47.179
I was like she's shrinking as I talk.

00:43:47.179 --> 00:43:48.179
Where's she going?

00:43:48.179 --> 00:43:53.478
Okay, there she is, she's doing some aerobics.

00:43:53.478 --> 00:43:58.556
But yeah, I was saying I would pay you.

00:43:58.556 --> 00:44:06.070
I want to know, because you know, I'm at a point, like I told you, this whole dating thing I'm starting to really believe it's not for me.

00:44:06.070 --> 00:44:13.068
And you know, if somebody had advice for me, I would pay them to hear it.

00:44:13.931 --> 00:44:15.934
So I hear you.

00:44:15.934 --> 00:44:19.626
Well, let's do that when I can key in and spend some time with you.

00:44:19.746 --> 00:44:22.090
Yay, yeah, I'm definitely.

00:44:22.090 --> 00:44:27.206
Yeah, I'm game now because my life and my journey is going and going.

00:44:27.206 --> 00:44:33.619
But here I am trying to work on me, you know, and find love, but then it turns in new.

00:44:33.619 --> 00:44:36.715
Let's help everybody else find love.

00:44:36.715 --> 00:44:39.253
They were like Nadine, you're doing it again.

00:44:39.253 --> 00:44:49.373
I was like sorry, you know, and I think it's because I watched one movie called Perfectly Matched and I was like they call me hitch already.

00:44:49.373 --> 00:44:50.449
This is what I do.

00:44:50.449 --> 00:44:52.110
Let's see if I got this.

00:44:52.110 --> 00:45:01.929
But maybe, I don't know, maybe if there's a man out there in the world who understands that you photography podcast, football mom.

00:45:01.929 --> 00:45:04.034
My daughter just had a baby.

00:45:04.034 --> 00:45:04.775
Blah blah blah.

00:45:04.775 --> 00:45:06.159
School work.

00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:10.934
Yeah, do I have a little bit of time to date?

00:45:10.974 --> 00:45:30.585
Yes, that there is, you know, uh, there, there are humans out there that understand that and can be compassionate and have you know, offer partnership and and love matches and um absolutely don't give up.

00:45:31.086 --> 00:45:34.353
Don't give up I know don't give up, just help.

00:45:34.353 --> 00:45:36.338
Everybody else don't give up.

00:45:36.338 --> 00:45:38.264
I know, don't give up, just help everybody else.

00:45:38.304 --> 00:45:43.682
Don't give up, Don't focus on you for sure.

00:45:45.565 --> 00:45:47.916
Yeah, we'll have to have a follow-up conversation and we can talk about it.

00:45:47.916 --> 00:45:49.565
Of course we're going to do this and I'm going to remember it.

00:45:50.286 --> 00:45:51.675
If not, you can record it.

00:45:51.675 --> 00:45:53.425
So this way you remember all the words.

00:45:53.425 --> 00:45:55.670
I always encourage people to record it.

00:45:55.670 --> 00:45:59.992
I'm like let's record the session, so this way you can go back and listen if you have to.

00:45:59.992 --> 00:46:10.014
I have a couple of clients and they give themselves a reading for their birthdays, so this, and then they write all the lists down and they check them off as they happen.

00:46:10.014 --> 00:46:15.405
Or someone who's like okay, it's been three months, Okay, it's been six months.

00:46:15.405 --> 00:46:23.590
So we just keep checking in, making sure that they're listening to their angel whispers and they're on their path.

00:46:23.590 --> 00:46:30.775
So you know, it's a beautiful process to be able to do that and then have faith is the most important part.

00:46:31.746 --> 00:46:38.652
Have faith is very important, so list out your website again so people can jump onto that.

00:46:39.505 --> 00:46:51.032
Yeah, it's heavenslightwellnesscom, so it's Heavens Light Wellness on Facebook, instagram, youtube, heavens Light Wellness on the website.

00:46:51.032 --> 00:46:56.447
So, yeah, we're just about everywhere TikTok.

00:46:56.447 --> 00:47:13.878
I do angel card pulls so I have a mix of angel cards that, um are positive affirmation cards, so I pull those once a week so this way people can get a positive message on what the angels are trying to help them with that week.

00:47:15.425 --> 00:47:17.289
Oh my gosh, that is so good.

00:47:17.289 --> 00:47:20.699
Yeah, I'm ready, I'm going on TikTok.

00:47:20.699 --> 00:47:21.668
I'm going to go find you.

00:47:21.668 --> 00:47:27.436
I think it's so cool.

00:47:27.436 --> 00:47:32.952
My son is really trying to teach me TikTok, like I'm old, right?

00:47:32.952 --> 00:47:35.112
Yeah, obviously I am.

00:47:35.112 --> 00:47:37.793
And he's like mom, you hit over a thousand.

00:47:37.793 --> 00:47:39.528
He's like this means.

00:47:39.528 --> 00:47:41.092
And I'm like what does it mean?

00:47:41.092 --> 00:47:44.007
And he's like you can go live, live.

00:47:44.007 --> 00:47:51.222
Okay, so I did one of my shows and did the live, but I didn't have a holder.

00:47:51.222 --> 00:47:56.496
So I'm holding the whole live and it's funny, I always take my glasses off.

00:47:56.496 --> 00:48:01.914
I'm getting new ones in a month or two, but like, even if somebody wrote in, I wouldn't be able to read it.

00:48:01.914 --> 00:48:06.454
And then I made it even more stupider because I didn't know how to turn it off.

00:48:06.454 --> 00:48:10.826
It was like these simple things.

00:48:10.826 --> 00:48:14.231
I'm like, yeah, the life is gonna keep on going.

00:48:14.251 --> 00:48:17.998
I always think our kids are our tech.

00:48:17.998 --> 00:48:21.054
I'm like, okay, teach me what I'm supposed to know here.

00:48:21.054 --> 00:48:24.112
They always know more than we do than.

00:48:24.193 --> 00:48:24.755
I do anyway.

00:48:24.755 --> 00:48:35.144
Yes, that's how it always works, yeah, well, my goodness, it was so fun talking to you again and everything.

00:48:35.144 --> 00:48:39.871
I'm trying to think if we're missing anything, because this is just girls talk.

00:48:39.871 --> 00:48:44.797
You see, this is what I love making friends with my guests.

00:48:44.797 --> 00:48:45.788
You want to come back?

00:48:45.788 --> 00:48:46.751
You can come back.

00:48:46.751 --> 00:49:04.208
We're going to talk differently, of course, but it's all about that energy and the positive light and going towards it, because we can go through so many rough times in life and whatever those are.

00:49:04.208 --> 00:49:13.360
Honestly, you got to see that there's a bigger picture at the end and there is light at the end.

00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:20.367
Don't go backwards and backtrack or don't take a bottle to your mouth and try to wash it away.

00:49:20.367 --> 00:49:23.134
That's not what the challenge is there for.

00:49:23.134 --> 00:49:28.050
It's to find out who you are and maybe you're calling.

00:49:28.050 --> 00:49:31.498
It's calling you to find out how to help the world too.

00:49:33.925 --> 00:49:43.896
Exactly, exactly, remember sometimes for you, or I always say, the universe is working in your favor, so sometimes things don't happen to you, but they happen for you.

00:49:43.896 --> 00:49:46.793
That's an interesting way to look at stuff.

00:49:47.945 --> 00:49:49.853
Yeah, I'm waiting for that day right now.

00:49:49.853 --> 00:49:54.315
I did a couple of years ago, but I'm ready for it to do it again.

00:49:54.315 --> 00:49:56.672
You hear that universe.

00:49:58.224 --> 00:49:59.489
Manifest for Nadine.

00:49:59.489 --> 00:50:00.012
Here we go.

00:50:02.806 --> 00:50:07.134
Yeah, definitely so, but my goodness, I just.

00:50:07.134 --> 00:50:21.831
Our time is up, unfortunately, but I want to say thank you for coming back on the show, and I know I'll probably see you in another three to four months, so let's have some really awesome stories, Okay.

00:50:22.010 --> 00:50:22.713
Let's do it.

00:50:22.713 --> 00:50:32.266
Yeah, Hopefully the second book goes number one international bestseller and we have some and maybe I'll be dating this awesome partner by then.

00:50:32.266 --> 00:50:33.088
You never know.

00:50:33.668 --> 00:50:41.032
Who knows, or maybe I'm'm just gonna help the world find all these dates and I, oh, I paired them up and them and them.

00:50:41.032 --> 00:50:43.036
Oh, what about me?

00:50:43.036 --> 00:50:43.978
I see it now.

00:50:43.978 --> 00:50:52.134
So, yeah, I'll figure it out oh, I'm sure you'll do fabulous.

00:50:53.574 --> 00:50:55.297
Thank you, I'm trying.

00:50:55.297 --> 00:51:03.251
I had one word for you, since you're the karaoke queen oh my gosh, I am losing my voice.

00:51:03.331 --> 00:51:06.376
At karaoke or just where I'm doing karaoke.

00:51:06.376 --> 00:51:10.675
It's like it feels like a cul-de-sac, but you know, it's funny.

00:51:10.675 --> 00:51:15.467
I was singing the other day and I thought I was getting congestion, and now here I'm, I'm sick it.

00:51:15.467 --> 00:51:21.858
And now here I'm sick, it's like hey, and I'm like, and that air is like something's off.

00:51:21.858 --> 00:51:28.769
And here, yeah, it's like my little warning sign before this cold Right.

00:51:28.809 --> 00:51:31.056
Well, I hope you feel better, better and better.

Thank you, actually, and have some yummy old lady tea to feel better.

00:51:40.025 --> 00:51:48.275
Well, it's going to be the icy and then maybe the tea, but definitely, well, it's so nice talking to you.

00:51:48.275 --> 00:51:58.219
Um, definitely, let's get back when the book is coming out and get the book on to thefront of Keep Hope Alive and listen.

00:52:23.452 --> 00:52:39.170
I was like I feel like I'm really helping with great, great guest speakers and stuff and when people come back and they can quote something from one of my shows, I'm like whoa, I'm blown away.

00:52:42.126 --> 00:52:42.989
