2:01

this week's SoulShare episode. I'm very excited

to have Tammy Mastroberti here with me

2:05

on the show. Tammy is

2:07

an award-winning author of

2:10

The Universe is Talking to You and

2:12

her latest book, The Higher Help Method.

2:15

Super excited to talk about both these topics.

2:17

They're near and dear to me. Hello, Tammy.

2:19

Welcome to the show, my friend. Hello.

2:21

Thank you so much for having me here. Thanks

2:25

for being here. It is timely. I mean,

2:27

you know, The Universe is Talking is all

2:29

about synchronicities, I know, and

2:31

that sort of thing, which, you know, is my

2:34

favorite topic. And

2:36

then The Higher Help Method is about

2:38

communicating back to the universe, which I

2:40

literally not even knowing going

2:42

into this call today. I had a whole

2:45

thing happen this morning where I did that

2:47

more proactively than I have in years,

2:50

probably. And it just

2:54

all is tying together in such a synchronous way. I

2:56

look forward to sharing, but before I

2:58

do, let's start at

3:00

my cliche opening question,

3:02

which is this. You're

3:05

in an elevator. The woman next to you looks over,

3:07

says, what's your passion? You got 10 floors to answer.

3:09

What do you say? I would

3:11

say, I love this question, by the

3:13

way, I would say I

3:15

am passionate about helping people tap

3:18

into the higher helpline of the

3:21

universe so that they can create a

3:23

life they love waking up to every

3:25

day. And I teach spiritual tools to

3:27

help them do that. Amazing.

3:31

I like the sound of that. If you

3:33

would, before we

3:35

dive too deep, share whatever feels relevant

3:37

to share about your backstory, just to

3:40

give us a little context for your

3:42

journey. Sure. Yes, yes. So I grew

3:44

up in the Catholic faith. My mother,

3:47

we went to church every weekend and

3:49

she was very devoted to the blessed

3:51

mother and I went to Catholic school

3:53

through eighth grade. And so

3:56

that was my background and my belief

3:58

system that still... Colors what I do

4:00

today. However, it was actually the death

4:02

the sudden death of my mother when

4:04

I was 22 years old She

4:07

died of a brain aneurysm three

4:09

days after Christmas and And

4:13

that is what truly Opens

4:15

me up to what I call the

4:17

more spiritual non-religious realm

4:20

of belief and it was actually 10

4:22

months after she died through synchronistic events

4:25

that my sister and I wound up

4:27

going to a medium and This

4:30

was over 20 years ago. So we're talking

4:32

about there wasn't I always say that there

4:34

wasn't mediums on television It wasn't a normal

4:36

conversation back then right and I thought that

4:38

this guy that we went to was the

4:41

only person who had this unique gift and

4:43

so we wound up going to him and

4:45

that one-hour session that I still have the

4:47

recording of Blew

4:50

my mind. I was very skeptical,

4:52

you know in the beginning We

4:55

lied on all the information that we had to send in,

4:57

you know there was nothing online so everything had to be

4:59

mailed and we lied on everything and because

5:02

we were like, oh no, you know, we're gonna make sure

5:04

he can't research us and within like Two

5:06

minutes of the meeting with him we were

5:08

we were gone like you hear us crying

5:11

and it was so obvious that this man

5:13

Was you know speaking to my mother and

5:15

her parents were the first ones in and

5:17

so that really? Opens

5:20

me up to wait a minute. There's

5:22

so much more Going

5:24

on in this universe in this world that I

5:27

realized and now I want to know more I

5:29

want to understand more and I always say my

5:31

mother taught me the truth about life after her

5:33

death because I It

5:35

just sent me on the path that I'm on today

5:37

And had she not died at that age and had

5:39

I not had that experience with the medium Would I

5:42

be doing the work that I'm doing today? Possibly

5:44

but definitely not in the way that I'm

5:46

doing it. And so that's that's really what

5:48

sparked me Wow, you know

5:51

you said three days after Christmas. I'm assuming the 28th Correct.

5:55

Yeah. So yeah, it's interesting because my

5:57

birthday is July 28th and my dad

6:00

It's birthdays July 28th and my grandmother is

6:02

July 28th. Her mother died on July 28th.

6:05

Wow. And yeah, I'm

6:07

ex-business partner, Bill, and I write about my book,

6:09

His Baby Mama, grandmother, July 28th. Met

6:12

my girlfriend on July 28th, 2012. Her

6:15

boyfriend committed suicide on July 28th. And

6:18

his name was Anton. All my relatives are from

6:20

Anton, North Carolina with that

6:22

birthday, July 28th. And that's like half of it.

6:25

It just keeps going. Oh, wow. Yeah.

6:28

And on July 28th, actually, I just saw a numerologist the other

6:30

day. Bill Gates is a 28. Elon Musk is

6:32

a 28. It's supposed to be like the most

6:34

powerful they claim. I don't know

6:36

who knows such things, but I

6:38

like the sound of it when this numerologist

6:41

was saying the 28 that's like Putin's kids

6:43

and Apple was formed on the 28th. So

6:47

the fact you're saying that day became this

6:49

portal of power for you really jumps

6:53

out as sort of a synchronistic

6:55

thing that I just wanted to point

6:57

out there. Yeah.

7:00

So I know the universe is

7:02

talking to you,

7:05

learning to tap into the signs and

7:07

synchronicities. And anyone

7:10

listening to this podcast knows that's

7:12

like my favorite topic and go-to question always.

7:15

So I'm so excited to hear about that

7:17

and even share the ones that I've had

7:19

today prior to

7:21

this. It

7:24

really is once you understand the universe is reflecting you

7:26

back to you. It's

7:29

everywhere you go, you're there waiting for yourself. And

7:32

so how did you go

7:35

from, okay, your mother's death catalyze

7:38

your own spiritual awakening and then

7:41

this particular book, the first one, the universe is

7:43

talking to you. What

7:46

was there particular things that prompted you like, oh

7:49

my gosh, this is something that needs to be

7:51

put into, you know, having talked about

7:53

it so much on this show. And I have a

7:55

friend every time he sees me, he goes, Mr. Synchronicity,

7:57

you know, and he's like, you should write a book on

7:59

synchronicity. And you did. I did it. So I

8:02

just, what prompted you to go? There's

8:04

so many things to talk about, spiritually

8:06

speaking, to go and talk about that.

8:09

So it was actually signs from

8:11

my mother that started my journey

8:13

just shortly after she died. Actually,

8:16

to be quite honest with you,

8:18

moments after she died and we

8:20

had to decide to pull the

8:22

plug on her respirator. I

8:25

was in the bathroom and, because

8:27

I couldn't go into the room and I was just

8:29

breaking down in the bathroom, and

8:32

all of the sudden, I

8:34

always say it was like someone dumped a

8:36

bucket of peace over me, but everything just

8:38

went dead. Like

8:41

I was just like, I wasn't upset anymore and

8:43

I was in a totally peaceful place and I

8:45

knew my mother was in that bathroom with me

8:47

and I just kept saying to myself, everything's gonna

8:49

be okay. And that's

8:52

where it started with her. And then

8:54

I just was getting signs, her birth

8:56

date, her name, songs on the radio,

8:59

things that just, even

9:01

how we wound up going to George

9:04

Anderson. I mean, he started showing up

9:06

everywhere and six months before my mother

9:08

died, someone had brought his

9:10

book into our house and we had

9:12

a discussion with my mother about him.

9:14

And we had never heard that. Wow,

9:17

so you're already connected to him, like

9:19

energetically. It was insane. So it started

9:21

with my mother and me telling people

9:23

about these amazing signs. And I kept hearing

9:26

from people, oh, my loved one's been gone

9:28

10 years, I've never had a

9:30

sign from them. And oh, you're so lucky,

9:32

your mother must be this powerful spirit. And

9:34

I used to think like, wow, maybe I

9:36

am lucky. And then I started realizing, well,

9:39

no, if I'm getting them, other people have

9:41

to be missing them for some reason. And

9:44

so as I kept going, I started

9:46

realizing it's not just my mother, the

9:48

whole universe, our angels, our guides, everybody

9:50

is sending us these signs, not

9:52

just our loved ones who want us to know

9:54

they are still with us. So I

9:57

just started breaking down like, okay, what am

9:59

I doing? differently that I'm getting all of

10:01

these signs, that I'm noticing these synchronicities, and

10:04

how can I help other people do it

10:06

because it can't be just me. That's

10:09

where I got so passionate about it because

10:11

it is so magical. It is so miraculous.

10:14

It is just living in a whole magical

10:16

Harry Potter world, right? When you start tapping

10:18

into it. I just got so passionate about

10:20

it and I started teaching it. Then after

10:22

I started teaching it, I'm like, I have

10:24

to put this into a book. That's

10:26

really where it came. It started with signs just from

10:28

my mother. Wow. I

10:31

love that. Yeah. We both

10:33

grew up in a similar way. I was a very

10:35

conservative Christian, not Catholic. Mine

10:38

was so conservative. Catholics are all going

10:40

to hell too. Everyone

10:42

but us and even half the people in this show,

10:44

it was really insanely hell and brimstone

10:47

kind of conservative perspective. Having

10:54

that experience and then waking up

10:56

to something so great beyond. I

11:03

will reflect on certainly

11:06

some wisdom in the Bible. One of the

11:08

things that I always reference is

11:11

unless you become like a child, you can't enter the kingdom

11:13

of heaven. I think to me,

11:15

what causes my ability

11:18

to have such

11:20

powerful synchronicities consistently

11:23

and communicating

11:25

with my own grandmother across the veil

11:27

recently that led to real world events

11:29

for me and my grandfather and grandmother.

11:32

It's like that childlike wonder around it.

11:35

The fact I'm so excited to share,

11:37

oh, the 28th. Let

11:41

me tell you about our synchronicity this morning. I

11:43

haven't shared yet. I'm like a little boy with

11:45

it. I think that, unless you become

11:47

like a child, you can enter the kingdom of

11:49

heaven. For me, that is one of

11:51

the first things that I tap into is what is

11:53

the consistency? I'm always excited about

11:56

it. It's never gotten dull. It's never

11:58

gotten boring. It's that magic. Harry Potter

12:00

world, like you said, and

12:02

our inner child does backflips.

12:04

So that's the first thing I kind of say

12:06

to people is like, get into

12:08

that childlike wonder of anticipation and believing

12:11

that magic is real or like Wayne

12:14

Dyer said, you know, I'm realistic. I

12:16

expect miracles and you

12:18

know, buckle up. Definitely. Definitely. A

12:21

hundred percent. And really

12:23

just the thing is nobody teaches us,

12:25

right, how the universe communicates with us.

12:27

Nobody teaches us about

12:29

how it works. And then once

12:31

once you once that door is

12:33

opened, right, once you have an

12:35

experience for yourself, you you

12:38

can more easily get into that state of,

12:40

oh, wow, this is, you know, this is

12:42

so cool. This is so amazing.

12:45

And that's why I try to teach people

12:47

how to have those experiences because you and

12:49

I can sit here and tell stories all

12:51

day and they're amazing. And I love hearing

12:54

other I never tire of people coming to

12:56

me saying you're never going to believe what

12:58

happened. Right. Yeah. Because it's fascinating to me.

13:00

But until you have that experience yourself, it

13:03

doesn't hit home the same way. And then like

13:05

you said, it's easier to get that. Oh my

13:07

gosh, this is so cool. Excitement. Yeah.

13:10

Yeah. So I

13:12

want to dive into some of the

13:14

suggested, you know, for

13:16

those who aren't out

13:18

there listening, I often ask, hey, give me

13:20

any suggested topics that would make sense for

13:22

us to talk to. And sometimes I hit

13:24

on some of them and

13:26

sometimes we go completely off, you know, but it's always

13:29

good to know with people and obviously who am I

13:31

talking to and what are their their wisdom that they

13:33

have to share. So I actually we

13:35

have a new person booking the

13:38

podcast and I didn't even long

13:41

story short, I didn't have a lot of awareness

13:43

that this one was happening today. I thought

13:46

I was on someone else's podcast until an hour, you

13:48

know, literally an hour before we're going to record. And

13:50

so I'm like, oh my gosh, OK, what do what

13:52

let me let me get the download here of what

13:54

are we going to talk about? What is what is

13:56

Tammy's thing? And and I got

13:58

complete chills because. First,

14:01

first is your book, The Universe is Talking to

14:03

You, right? About Synchronicity. And then your new book,

14:05

The Higher Help Method, which we'll talk about, is

14:07

about how to listen, you

14:09

know, to the, you know, I

14:12

mean, I'm sorry to, how to speak to the universe,

14:14

right? The other way. And then

14:17

I look at your list of suggested things. Why feeling

14:19

stuck is a good thing. It's the first one on

14:21

the list. Now, this morning,

14:23

before our conversation, I've been feeling more

14:25

stuck than I have my whole life

14:27

in the last year. I've

14:30

had more, yeah,

14:33

just maybe just challenges, you know,

14:35

more negative thoughts than typical

14:37

or, you know, feeling like I've misstepped

14:39

a bunch of ways that have led me to

14:42

not be where I'd like to be. And, you

14:44

know, just having that stuck feeling, right? And

14:47

so this morning I got up and I was feeling

14:50

some of that, you know, and I was like, you

14:52

know what, Brandon, instead of diving into work, you need

14:54

to make the time to, you

14:56

know, communicate,

14:59

pray more, meditate more. I'm, my initials are

15:01

BBB and I think it's my greatest lesson

15:03

because I do, do, do. And,

15:06

and so I think that's

15:09

a synchronicity for me, a sign like this is,

15:11

you know, so I take the time, I'm feeling

15:13

stuck. I'm going to like the higher health

15:15

method, you know, I'm sure it talks about like communicate

15:18

outward. And I

15:21

started just like spraying out loud to

15:23

God on my balcony and something I

15:25

don't do much, honestly. And very

15:27

rarely a prayer like this. It was, it was particularly

15:29

unique. And, and then it got me into, I want

15:32

to start a mantra. I want to drum up the

15:34

vibration of, and what came to me is,

15:36

uh, uh,

15:39

you know, I am Brandon Beechem. I am the son

15:41

of the son and I have come. And

15:44

I just started saying this over and over.

15:46

It's just what came to me and I

15:48

guess was feeling so much connection to source

15:50

and the sun. And it was just like, Oh my gosh, how

15:52

am I not doing this every day? You

15:54

know, and so, so then

15:56

I come in from that, uh,

15:59

you know, 30 minutes. that I'm really buzzing

16:01

and I open notes

16:03

from the universe and

16:06

it's you know Mike I'm sure you're probably

16:08

familiar with Mike Dooley and yeah I recommend

16:11

people signing up if you haven't he's been a guest on the

16:13

show in the past and he said first

16:15

thing I read I see his note and I'm like

16:17

on this high and he goes how do you know

16:19

when you're illuminated enlightened and spiritually

16:21

speaking totally on fire Brandon now keep

16:24

in mind I am the Sun that's

16:26

like that I'm saying you're totally on

16:28

spiritually on fire Brandon when you're choosing

16:30

to be happy the universe and then

16:32

he's like PS yeah I deliberately sent

16:34

this one today Brandon oh you

16:36

know so like coming off of talking

16:39

about you know tapping into the Sun energy

16:41

and it's it's like literally a direct communication

16:43

then I see oh my gosh I have

16:45

an interview what is it about the universe

16:47

is talking to you is your book why

16:50

feeling stuck is a good thing and I'm

16:52

like oh my gosh this is just you

16:54

can't make this stuff up right yeah

16:57

let wait I have one better for you

16:59

so when I booked this I booked it

17:01

on Monday and they gave me four dates

17:03

to choose from and I went to my

17:05

my publicist and I said well I said

17:08

there's one for this Wednesday I'm like if

17:10

they happen to be free that day so

17:12

do you want to just book it but

17:14

I could have chosen another date right so

17:16

something made me choose this date yeah yeah

17:18

I mean notes from the universe then the

17:20

universe is talking to you yeah why feeling

17:22

stuck is a good thing so let's go

17:25

there why have me been feeling stuck why

17:27

is that a good thing okay

17:29

so first of all you were doing part

17:31

of the higher health method this morning just

17:33

by asking the universe for help right that's

17:35

step two but why

17:37

is feeling stuck a good thing if

17:41

you don't ever get stuck how are

17:43

you gonna where is your motivation

17:47

to do something differently to change

17:49

to grow right if you're just

17:51

happy and content in your life

17:54

you're not gonna do you're not gonna look

17:56

for a way to do things differently and

17:58

the only way to change things in your

18:00

life is to start doing things differently. So

18:02

being stuck is the

18:05

universe's way of saying, hey,

18:07

something's not working, let's grow,

18:10

let's look for something different. What do you want?

18:12

What are you not happy about now? And

18:14

what would you like to create? And then

18:17

I tell people, so I actually tell people

18:19

get excited when you're stuck. There was a

18:21

time in my life where I was stuck

18:23

in almost every area in my life.

18:26

Money wise, work wise, no

18:28

relationship, my health was tanking,

18:30

I mean everything, right? And

18:32

so even if you're stuck in more than one

18:34

area, reframe it

18:36

and be like, this is awesome

18:39

because that means something incredible is

18:41

waiting for me when

18:43

I can figure out how to

18:45

move forward. And I teach people

18:47

to use the higher health method

18:49

to create that positive change, not

18:51

by themselves, but in conjunction with

18:53

the universe, with the source, with

18:55

a higher power to make that

18:57

process easier because when

18:59

you ask the universe for help, it

19:01

starts dropping those breadcrumbs, it starts dropping

19:03

those signs to help guide you forward

19:05

once you learn how it talks to

19:07

you. Right, right, yeah, I

19:09

think it's such a powerful, powerful

19:13

thing to look at

19:15

the idea of being stuck. And we

19:17

know this idea of what we resist persists,

19:20

right? And what we accept,

19:22

we move through. And so if

19:24

you're looking at it and saying, ah, okay,

19:26

why is this happening for me? This is

19:28

a good thing. And understanding something,

19:31

I always say, smooth seas never made for a skilled

19:33

sailor and you came to be a skilled sailor. So

19:36

understanding like this is part of

19:38

the journey. It's like, you can't

19:40

have the breakthrough, the

19:42

breakdowns often, right, before the big breakthrough.

19:44

Right? Yes. And really what it comes

19:47

to, it's easy staying

19:49

stuck and being stuck. And so I

19:51

think getting and doing like this morning,

19:54

okay, I'm gonna do something different. I've

19:56

been just diving into work and not

19:58

feeling my full power. lately and, you

20:00

know, having that stuck feeling and it's

20:02

sort of, it's tricky

20:05

territory for me because most of my life

20:07

I have felt inspirate in spirit inspired, you

20:09

know, and losing

20:11

that or that waning in some way

20:13

and confusion is like, Oh my

20:15

gosh, this is, this

20:18

is a little scary. And so, but if

20:20

you can send love to

20:22

that experience too, right there, you've

20:24

done something and then you combine

20:26

it with taking different actions. You

20:29

know, that's something like Porsche, Joe,

20:32

just spins a, you know, talks

20:34

about how much just changing what

20:36

you're doing, you know, doing,

20:38

you know, if you want different results, do

20:40

something differently. And that's exactly kind of what

20:42

I did this morning. And it just opened

20:45

up all the synergy and then synchronicity, of

20:47

course, as I'm stepping into a

20:49

higher vibrational pool, right? Yes. Oh,

20:51

absolutely. I mean, one of the

20:53

things I tell people, if you want to start

20:56

opening up to signs and synchronicities is you have

20:58

to raise your vibration. You have to get yourself

21:00

into a state where you can receive them and

21:03

you have to get yourself out of

21:05

the chaos of your everyday life, internal

21:07

and external chaos. And back to the

21:09

present moment where those signs and synchronicities

21:11

are happening. So that's a

21:14

huge piece. The more you can sort

21:16

of shift your energy, raise your vibration,

21:19

feel better, the more apt you

21:21

are to tap into that

21:23

because we're always connected to the universe. It's

21:26

not like we can disconnect, right? Some people

21:28

say they feel disconnected. You can't really disconnect.

21:30

I always say it's like the

21:32

iPhone or your app, you know, whatever phone you

21:34

have, you plug that cord in, but you know

21:36

how like after a while it starts to like

21:39

break open and little wires pop

21:41

out, right? And it's kind of like, is it

21:43

going to charge today? That's sort of what happens

21:45

to our connection is it gets kind of frayed,

21:47

it gets a little muddied and it's not as

21:50

strong, but it's always there and we

21:52

can use simple tools to sort of

21:54

polish it up. Yeah. Yeah.

21:56

Before we continue on with today's episode, for

21:58

those of you who have you interested in

22:00

getting more fantastic fungi in your life, I

22:02

want to take a quick moment to tell

22:05

you about a friend of mine's brand new

22:07

company, The Great Mother. Recently

22:09

I have been drinking The Great

22:12

Mother's superfood mushroom coffee alternative called

22:14

a ritual as well as regularly

22:16

taking their awesome ally micro doses

22:19

and I am truly loving both.

22:22

As you probably know, these days, many

22:24

of the world's highest achievers and performers

22:26

where by microdosing, the problem is it

22:28

can still be difficult to get a

22:30

hold of magic mushrooms. That's why when

22:32

my friend reached out who lives in

22:34

an area and country where legalization is

22:36

not a problem like it was in

22:38

the past and said he'd be

22:40

willing to offer micro doses to

22:42

my listeners, I wanted to pass

22:44

the word along. Ally micro doses

22:46

are 100% organic and in addition

22:49

to a small amount of the

22:51

magic active ingredient, they also contain

22:53

functional mushrooms like lion's mane, cordyceps,

22:56

chaga, and other brain boosters like

22:58

bacopa. Ally is essentially

23:00

a full spectrum nootropic and

23:03

of course the coffee alternative ritual doesn't

23:05

contain magic mushrooms but it has an

23:07

array of the best organic functional

23:10

mushrooms in the world and you know

23:12

with functional mushrooms it's really important to

23:14

get them from the highest integrity sources

23:17

and whereas some other highly popular mushroom

23:20

coffee alternatives on the market only contain

23:22

a few varieties of functional mushrooms in

23:24

their actual ingredients, ritual has seven. Not

23:26

only does it contain more types, it

23:29

also contains three to four times the

23:31

amount that the big brands have in

23:33

each serving and it tastes

23:35

amazing. I actually like to have it

23:37

on its own as well as mixing

23:40

it into my coffee sometimes as well.

23:42

However since this is definitely a unique

23:44

offering, there are a few steps. First

23:47

just reach out and request to

23:49

follow the private page thegreat.mother on

23:51

instagram. Once you've been accepted to

23:53

follow, just message what you're interested

23:56

in getting and someone will get

23:58

back to you. I'd

24:05

love to hear you talk about, you know, I know

24:07

you've got some, some, some

24:09

steps that you recommend to

24:12

overcome roadblocks. And

24:15

I'd love to just hear, you know, okay, we've

24:17

taught, we're obviously talking about some of those, but,

24:20

you know, are there other things? I mean, is there any

24:23

like, like list of

24:25

actionable steps that people

24:27

can, can use to, you know, we've

24:30

talked about, okay, do something different. Do

24:32

a, do a meditation, do a mantra,

24:34

do, you know, what, what other things

24:36

do you recommend for people to remove

24:38

roadblocks and get back on the road?

24:41

Yeah. So, so are you mean like, what,

24:43

if something unexpected happens and you're like, Oh, wait, that, you

24:45

know, what do I do now? Type of a deal. Yeah.

24:49

Yeah. Yeah. And

24:51

is, do you have any sort of formula

24:53

or, or process

24:56

to the overcoming roadblocks? Yes.

24:59

So, so first of all, I always look

25:01

at a, at a roadblock as a redirection

25:04

from the universe. Right. I

25:06

look at it as, Oh, wait, I'm maybe I'm headed

25:08

the wrong way. And you know, when, whether you get

25:10

fired from that job, the relationship ends, you know, you

25:12

hit a wall and you're like, wait a minute. I

25:14

thought this opportunity was going to work out and it

25:16

doesn't, you know, they say rejection is

25:19

God's protection. Right. And I think

25:21

that piece of it first and foremost, second

25:24

of all, when I, when I come

25:26

across something that, you know, is unexpected,

25:28

that I thought was going to work

25:30

out, you know, we

25:32

tend to complain

25:35

about it, fight against it,

25:37

say it shouldn't be happening. And

25:40

that's really not helping you move forward. Right. So

25:43

the first thing you have to do is accept

25:46

I've hit the roadblock, right? I don't know why

25:48

I've hit the roadblock, but I'm going to choose

25:50

to believe that the universe has my back and

25:52

that there I'm not supposed to go this way.

25:54

So right away, you have to accept where you

25:56

are. Stop fighting against it. Stop complaining about it.

25:58

Stop saying it shouldn't have happened. because that's not

26:00

helping you move forward, right? So

26:03

accepting it is the first thing. Shifting

26:05

your perception, there are no

26:08

challenges, they are opportunities, right? So

26:10

this is an opportunity for me

26:12

to, you know, if one

26:14

door closes, another one's gonna open. So I'm

26:16

not gonna complain about the closed door, I'm

26:18

gonna say, okay, what's next? If the universe

26:21

is redirecting me, that means there's something better.

26:24

So sort of reframing it. In

26:26

the higher help method, the third step of

26:29

that is actually, so the third step of

26:31

that is shifting your energy. And so once

26:33

you've redirected it, you really need to shift

26:35

your energy into a better place.

26:37

And there's easy, you know, spiritual tools we

26:39

can do to shift our energy. I talk

26:41

about mini meditations a lot, even for people

26:43

who struggle with longer meditations, I teach them

26:45

to do one to three minutes at a

26:47

time to shift their energy in the moment,

26:49

you can do it throughout the day. And

26:53

then step two of the higher help method is asking

26:55

the universe for help. And so I

26:57

tell people, okay, so you're accepting this is

27:00

what it is, you've reframed it, you've shifted

27:02

your energy. Now you wanna ask the universe,

27:05

direct me, help me

27:07

to see which way to go. Send me

27:09

the signs, the synchronicities, the people, the resources,

27:11

the opportunities that can help me head in

27:14

the right direction. And you know what, while

27:16

you're at it, help me shift my

27:18

mindset around this, right? Asking for help through

27:20

a prayer. And then really

27:22

just focusing on joy, focusing

27:26

on something that makes you happy. Again, which

27:28

is sort of shifting your energy. That's

27:31

the best way that I have found

27:33

to deal with roadblocks. And what I

27:35

have come to understand and what I

27:37

teach people is there really are no

27:39

accidents or coincidences in this

27:41

universe, right? There's often experiences that

27:44

maybe we don't understand in the

27:46

moment, but usually as time progresses,

27:48

and if we look back, we

27:50

can start finding those synchronicities to

27:53

realize, you know what, everything actually

27:55

is leading me somewhere. Everything actually is happening

27:57

for a reason. And if you can- to

28:00

remind yourself of that when something happens

28:02

that you think should not have happened,

28:05

it can help you shift out of it

28:07

faster. A hundred percent, yeah. Like, you

28:09

know, posing the question, why

28:11

is this happening for me instead of

28:14

to me? And, you know, I

28:16

often say we're playing checkers.

28:19

Our human is playing checkers. Our higher self

28:21

is playing chess. So, you know,

28:23

one of the keys in my book, The Golden

28:25

Key is trust the mystery. I

28:28

wouldn't have chosen this from my human level understanding,

28:30

but I trust it. I know there's

28:32

something bigger at play here. And so

28:34

I'm looking for, you know,

28:36

why is this going to make me stronger? Where is

28:39

the silver lining? What is this trying

28:41

to show me about myself? Why is there

28:43

a tool here that I need for the

28:45

next step in my journey? What could that

28:47

be? What could the hidden benefit be? And

28:51

once you start looking through that lens,

28:55

you know, it's a game changer, right? So,

28:59

you know, I'm curious with, you

29:02

know, of course, synchronicities and signs, we're listening

29:04

to the universe. And then, you know, I

29:07

told you how this morning, it's like,

29:09

OK, this is my

29:11

reach out back the other way.

29:13

So I guess I'd love to just hear from you, you

29:16

know, sort of what

29:19

feels relevant to share from the higher help

29:22

method, your new book. Yes.

29:25

So really, the higher help method is

29:27

a method that I created without realizing

29:29

I was creating it for myself because

29:31

I was stuck. And

29:33

so over time, I started doing

29:35

different things and putting different

29:38

tools together to help myself move forward.

29:41

And I found that they were working. And

29:43

so what I say the method

29:45

is for is whether you feel stuck and

29:48

you really want to create

29:50

positive change, whether you are

29:52

trying to make a decision and are asking

29:54

the universe for guidance, whether you are looking

29:56

for a solution to a challenge, you can

29:59

go back to the end. this method. And

30:01

so it's a four step method that

30:04

starts with getting clarity on

30:06

what it is you actually want. And I have a

30:08

clarity formula for that. The

30:11

second step is asking the universe for help.

30:13

And there's a variety of spiritual tools. We

30:15

talked about prayer as one of those tools.

30:18

I talk about something called focused gratitude,

30:20

which is gratitude focused on the area

30:22

you're stuck because hello, that's where you

30:24

need to shift the most. Right? Crystals,

30:28

I use rituals and

30:31

what I call higher helpers. And

30:34

higher helpers are really just like in

30:36

this physical world, we have people that

30:38

specialize in different areas, right? So I

30:40

always say you're not going to call

30:42

your car mechanic to cook

30:44

you a meal or to fix your

30:47

air conditioning unit. Right? So there

30:50

are specialized higher helpers on the

30:52

other side, whether that's arch angels,

30:54

whether that's gods, goddesses, ascended masters,

30:56

you know, it runs across

30:59

all belief systems. We all have

31:01

these higher helpers. So I believe

31:03

on actually asking those who

31:05

specialize in money and abundance, like the higher

31:07

help method, the second half of the book

31:09

is broken down by life area and it

31:11

gives you these higher helpers and these tools.

31:14

So calling in this specialized higher help.

31:16

And that's really the second, the second

31:18

step, the third step we've already been

31:20

talking about, which is shifting your energy,

31:22

right? You have to shift your energy

31:24

in order to, in order to notice

31:26

the signs that are coming because once

31:28

you ask for help, the universe starts

31:30

moving the pieces of the puzzle around

31:32

to point you in the right direction

31:34

to send you the signs and it

31:36

will repeat things over and over until

31:38

you get them. The name of a

31:40

book, the name of a doctor, the

31:42

name of a healing modality, whatever it

31:44

might be. So shifting your

31:47

energy so that you can be in alignment

31:49

with these. And then the last step, which

31:51

we actually, you were talking about taking action,

31:53

the last step of the process is receiving

31:55

those signs and then taking action on them

31:58

because. Because if you don't take action and

32:00

you just say, well, I don't know, I'm

32:02

just going to stay here and wait for

32:04

something else, the universe can't continue

32:07

to guide you forward. It can't continue to light

32:09

the path up because you're just sticking, you know,

32:11

staying here and not doing anything. And

32:13

so I talk about action and

32:15

why, you know, there really is no

32:17

wrong action because the universe will redirect

32:19

you. It will throw up that roadblock,

32:22

right? So better to take some action

32:24

than no action. And that's really the

32:26

process. It's a simple process and

32:29

I've used it over and over

32:31

again to fix all those areas

32:33

of my life that I was stuck in. Beautiful.

32:35

Yeah, I love that. Yeah,

32:38

it really is, you know,

32:41

this, this, it's such, I

32:43

can't stress enough that the

32:45

power of understanding, you know,

32:47

roadblocks or redirection, you

32:49

know, it's like, or, you know, Abraham

32:51

kind of talks about, about it in

32:54

this way. It says it's this or

32:56

something better. So imagine if every

32:58

time you're reaching for something, it's like, Oh, I

33:01

really wanted this and Oh,

33:03

it didn't come because it didn't manifest

33:05

because there's actually something even better. Well,

33:08

that was awesome. So

33:10

I'm now real excited that it didn't

33:12

work out. And what a

33:14

difference than disappointment and letdown

33:16

and, you know, all those

33:18

emotions and energies that we

33:21

tap into, which only feeds

33:23

experiences that continue to reflect them. Right.

33:27

Yeah. Yeah. And

33:29

actually in the book, I tell people, even

33:31

when you're creating like an intention of here's

33:34

what I'd like to create, you always have

33:36

to be open to some, I say, say

33:38

this or something better because we think we

33:40

want something and that this is the perfect

33:42

thing for us. And the universe

33:44

is like your conscious brain can't even understand

33:47

or understand what's possible for you. So

33:49

you always throw it back to the

33:51

universe and say, I would like this

33:53

or something better because who is ever

33:55

going to say no to something better?

33:57

No, I think that's yeah. Right. And

33:59

I think that's the key is you

34:01

can set that expectation. Like I said,

34:04

you're playing checkers. Your higher self is

34:06

playing chess. So this is from my

34:08

little human perspective, what I think I

34:10

want and is good would be best

34:12

for me. And I release all

34:14

attachment and expectation around that because I know

34:17

if I get it, it's because it's best

34:19

for me. If I don't get it because

34:21

it's best for me, you know?

34:23

And once you that's playing

34:25

at the pro level, because it didn't over

34:28

if you haven't won. And

34:30

so, you know, if you can relax

34:32

into that, now you take all the

34:35

stress and all the weird stories that

34:37

really hold you back out of the

34:39

equation. Right? Yes. Yes. And a

34:41

lot of people get stressed out when trying

34:43

to manifest because they're so

34:46

concerned about, you know, what am I doing? Am I

34:48

doing it right? I'm supposed to be doing this. I'm

34:50

supposed to be doing that. Wait, this isn't working fast

34:52

enough. Now I must be doing something wrong. And

34:56

you can't manifest positivity or

34:58

create positivity from that stressed

35:00

out place. And when you

35:02

bring in, when you stop

35:04

trying to manifest and stop

35:06

trying to do it alone,

35:08

it does take that burden. Like you said,

35:10

it takes that burden off your shoulders of like, I'm

35:12

not in this alone. I can

35:14

ask the universe for help to guide me

35:17

forward because it knows way more than I

35:19

do. And now it can become

35:21

a more magical

35:23

process than when you're just trying so

35:25

hard to do all the right things

35:28

and stressing yourself out. Yeah.

35:30

Right. Telling the story that you, you

35:32

know best, you know,

35:35

and you know, you simply,

35:37

you know what you know, and you're

35:39

only seeing a part of the, of

35:42

a grander puzzle. And I think that

35:44

takes a lot of pressure off of us too. It's like,

35:46

okay, I don't have to have all the. I

35:49

just have to follow my highest excitement and

35:51

trust that that intention and

35:53

that energy will yield the best results that

35:56

could look any a myriad

35:58

of ways. You

36:00

know, it's I

36:03

get to and it's not necessarily always

36:05

that I'm going to be happy. You

36:08

know, you didn't come to always be happy, you know,

36:10

you you you but

36:13

you can be at peace with what is and trusting

36:16

in the mystery as you

36:18

know, the key I have in my I

36:20

outline in my book and you know, or

36:22

Eckhart Tolle said it really well. He's like,

36:24

you know, most people think that this life

36:26

is here to make

36:28

them happy. That's the goal. That's the aim.

36:30

And for some reason, they're being shortchanged. Right.

36:34

And the

36:36

problem with that is it's that premises is

36:39

flawed. Life is

36:42

not here to make you happy. Life is

36:44

here to make you conscious. And

36:47

so when you understand that's the

36:49

soul's aim is to become more

36:51

conscious and happiness. Yeah, it's

36:54

great when that's a part of the journey. But,

36:56

you know, the sweets never quite as sweet without

36:58

the sour. You never you can't make an omelet

37:01

without breaking a few eggs. And you understand that's

37:03

going to be a part of the the formula.

37:06

And you can relax, relax about it. Yes,

37:09

yes, totally. And and when it comes

37:11

to happiness, also, it's sort of like

37:14

we are more in control of that than we

37:16

think, because we can choose how we react. And

37:18

we can we can consciously choose what we're focused

37:20

on and the things that we're thinking about to

37:23

shift our own mood and to shift our own

37:25

energy. And it doesn't have to take a lot

37:27

of time so that when

37:29

we notice, you know, we're feeling less than

37:32

happy. There are things we can do about

37:34

that. And there are things that

37:36

we can we can have conscious control of

37:39

to tap into that energy. Yeah.

37:41

Yeah. So I'm curious,

37:43

having written a book all on synchronicity

37:46

and serendipity and positive

37:48

paranormal sort of things, I'd love

37:50

to hear any, you

37:53

know, good story that

37:56

you might have to share or stories. our

38:00

mutual favorite topic, though, you know.

38:02

Yes, yes. Well,

38:04

so I shared one earlier of the

38:07

synchronistic fact that somebody brought this, you

38:09

know, George Anderson book into my house,

38:11

right? And that, again, I didn't realize

38:13

at the time until I started

38:15

looking back and I teach people an exercise

38:18

called Follow the Footsteps so that they actually

38:20

in the universe is talking to you where

38:22

they can find these connections by tracing back

38:24

their own journey, right? And so that was

38:26

just an amazing one, the

38:31

universe basically set me up six months before my

38:33

mother's death to go to this man. So,

38:35

but another really, really cool one that

38:37

was a big impact on my journey

38:40

is I had gone,

38:42

so Dr. Wayne Dyer was the first sort

38:44

of person that

38:47

I started studying shortly

38:49

after my mother's death. And it was actually after saying

38:51

a prayer and asking for guidance, I woke up in

38:53

the middle of the night, turned on PBS, and there

38:55

he was talking about the power of intention. And

38:58

so, so Wayne Dyer led me to Deepak Chopra

39:00

and I was working in New York City at

39:02

the time as a magazine editor. And

39:05

I found out that the Chopra Center had a

39:08

place in New York and was doing a perfect

39:10

health conference. So I went to the perfect health

39:12

conference and I

39:15

wasn't gonna go, but then I randomly got a coupon

39:17

in my email, not even from the Chopra Center. I

39:19

don't know where it even came from, but I got

39:21

a coupon for $400 off. And

39:24

I remember saying at the time to a friend, I feel

39:26

like I'm supposed to go to this, like

39:29

how weird that I just got this coupon. Exactly.

39:31

So I said, I'm going. So I used

39:33

a $400 coupon, I signed up for it.

39:35

It was like an extended weekend event. And

39:38

they had a whole spa there and

39:40

it was like seven or eight of

39:42

us. And we all became friendly. I

39:44

became friendly with the spa director there.

39:46

Okay, fast forward a year later, because

39:48

by the way, synchronicity doesn't have to

39:50

happen one after another, you can trace

39:52

it back by years. But fast forward

39:54

a year later, I'm unhappy in my

39:56

job complaining to a friend, telling her

39:58

I'm into all these spiritual. topics because

40:00

that retreat made me realize like I

40:02

just want to immerse myself in this

40:04

world and I was

40:07

telling her I was unhappy and she and I said

40:09

I really want to work for a spiritual magazine But

40:11

there's nothing in the area and this

40:13

was years ago There weren't even that many magazines

40:15

out there and so she was like,

40:17

why don't you just start one online yourself? Like you're you've

40:19

been in the magazine industry for like 10 years at this

40:21

point. What are you doing? And so I was like You're

40:25

crazy But then within three months there

40:27

I was starting this magazine and I

40:29

knew I needed somebody amazing on the

40:31

cover in order for people to pay

40:33

attention to this online magazine and Synchronistically

40:37

I I made the LLC. I

40:40

think it was March of 2008 and I discovered

40:42

that in April of 2008

40:47

Deepak Chopra and the Chopra Center were

40:49

holding this huge Weekend renewal

40:51

retreat in New York and Deepak Chopra

40:53

was gonna be speaking and I

40:55

said to my friend I'm going to this event I'm

40:57

gonna cover it I'm gonna cover you know everything that

40:59

Deepak Chopra says I'm gonna write the article and I'm

41:02

gonna ask if I can put him On the cover.

41:05

So I went to the event. I talked to people

41:07

there They probably thought I was crazy because who is

41:09

this chick saying she's starting a magazine and we don't

41:11

even know you but I Said

41:14

to myself I'm I'm determined to do this

41:17

I'm determined to get him on the to

41:19

get him on the cover and

41:21

I remembered the

41:23

spa director at the Chopra Center that

41:26

I had been to a year before and I

41:28

said I'm going on my lunch hour my New

41:30

letterhead in my hand down to that Chopra

41:32

Center and I walked in and I asked for

41:34

the spa director. They said she was in a

41:36

meeting I wrote I scribbled a note on the

41:39

paper handed it over and said, you know, can

41:41

you please have her contact me? Walked

41:43

out went to the Starbucks next door by the

41:45

time I walked out of the Starbucks The spa

41:47

director had called me and said, of course, I

41:49

remember you There's no reason we can't get you

41:51

a photo and by the time I got back

41:53

to my office Several options were in my inbox.

41:56

And so I launched the magazine.

41:58

I don't publish it anymore because this is going back

42:00

to 2008. But I

42:03

launched the magazine, had Deepak Chopra on the

42:05

cover. It was amazing.

42:07

It was incredible. And that whole entire thing

42:10

was literally set up for me. And I

42:12

had no idea prior to

42:14

that, that all of this lined up perfectly

42:16

because I was supposed to do this. And

42:18

that magazine led me to start teaching myself,

42:20

led me to eventually write books and

42:23

into where I am now. So that's kind of a

42:25

longer, synchronistic story. I love it. But there were so

42:27

many pieces of that puzzle that I had to fit

42:29

together. Yeah. Oh, I love

42:31

that. It reminds me a little bit

42:33

of, I don't know if you're familiar with

42:35

Sahara Rose. But

42:37

her whole journey began by

42:41

going up to Deepak

42:43

at an event. And we've been

42:46

on each other's podcasts and things. And she

42:48

shared her whole synchronicity story around Deepak and

42:50

how it led to all the success that

42:55

she has today. So that's cool. It

42:58

reminds me of that. And he's been

43:00

an instrumental character

43:02

for a lot of powerful people,

43:04

it seems. Yes. So what,

43:07

as we start to kind

43:09

of wind down a little

43:11

bit here, what is, we've covered

43:14

a good amount in this time. What

43:16

is the one thing,

43:18

if you could share one thing with

43:22

the audience that we haven't shared, what

43:25

would that be? I

43:28

would think the most important thing

43:31

for people to remember, no

43:34

matter what your background or belief system, is that

43:36

you are not alone. We are

43:38

never alone, right? We are not in this world

43:40

alone. We are not walking through this world alone.

43:43

Even if you are physically alone, you are not

43:45

alone. And that you

43:47

have access to help. I

43:50

believe we knew this before we came here. And

43:55

I'm here to remind you that you have access

43:57

to this help no matter who you are, no

43:59

matter who you want. to call on

44:01

and whatever you are facing,

44:03

I want you

44:05

to remember that the universe is guiding

44:07

you, is directing you, does not make

44:09

mistakes. Everything is happening for

44:11

a reason. And to please

44:14

utilize that help that's available to

44:16

make everything in your life a

44:18

little easier. Yeah,

44:22

I love that. I love that. Yeah, it really

44:24

is when you start to think, because how many

44:26

people out there feel alone and

44:28

are telling the story of I'm alone. And

44:30

it's like, source God,

44:33

the universe, higher self,

44:35

however you want to refer to it, the

44:38

consciousness, it's so

44:40

close, people are missing it. It

44:43

is literally there.

44:46

I saw

44:48

a near death experience recently and story,

44:51

I love watching those accounts and seeing

44:53

the parallels. And they're just so fascinating.

44:55

But this person said they showed

44:57

up on the other side and it was like, it

45:00

was them and God, it was like, in

45:05

God, it was like, I was the only, it

45:07

was only us. And the love for me was

45:09

so unique.

45:15

And it was like, just

45:18

the two of us. Or I don't know if

45:20

you're familiar with the short story, the egg, but

45:23

it's kind of a similar, I highly

45:25

recommend it. They can read by a

45:27

guy named Andy Weir and they made

45:29

it into a short on YouTube. I

45:31

always recommend it. There's a few versions

45:33

even 10 minutes to

45:35

watch, but it's a similar

45:37

premise. I recommend the version on YouTube with the,

45:40

where God is a cute English woman.

45:43

But it

45:46

really is like this idea that it's

45:48

you and God and you're taking this

45:50

journey together and there's no one else.

45:52

And it's like, and

45:56

always sources with you, no

45:59

matter in your. moment and your

46:01

lowest moment. It couldn't be

46:03

extracted or separate. It's impossible because you

46:05

are it and it is you. And

46:08

that is a comforting

46:10

idea to know that

46:13

eternity is intimidating. And

46:15

with Source right

46:17

there in our hearts and

46:19

minds, as long as we

46:21

don't even if we forget or cut it

46:24

out, it's still there. But if we

46:26

can be open to the knowing, you

46:28

can always start tapping in

46:30

like my story this morning. It's like,

46:32

oh, my gosh, I'm I'm consciously connecting

46:34

with Source in this way.

46:36

And oh, my gosh, I feel so

46:38

lit up from it. You know, why

46:40

wouldn't I do this every day? I'm

46:43

crazy not to, you know, how I'm

46:45

selling myself so short. What an easy

46:47

way to get lit up and filled

46:49

up. And so I think

46:52

that is certainly a good

46:54

lesson and reminder for me today. And I

46:56

think this conversation is as well. Perfect.

47:00

Well, with that

47:02

being said, is what is the best way for

47:04

people who want to connect with you and follow

47:06

your work and get your books? And what's the

47:08

best way for them to do that? Sure.

47:11

They can find me on my

47:13

47:34

I call weekly spirit boost, where sometimes

47:36

I have guests, but most of the

47:38

time it's just me sort of teaching

47:40

and sharing things for about a half

47:42

an hour. And I'm

47:44

live on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram

47:47

every Thursday. Cool. Amazing.

47:50

Amazing. Well, I do have one

47:52

final, my cliche closing question for

47:55

you today. And it is this.

48:01

48:56

just come to us for a savings account or

mortgage. They come for the advice that goes with

49:00

them. She sat down with one of our bankers

49:02

and learned there's a whole lot more to buying

49:05

a home than a mortgage. There's budgeting for moving,

49:07

maintenance, and all the things that come up along

49:09

the way. And now she's better prepared. Yay, Jen!
