So I wanted to just share that with everybody and to know that there's going to be some golden nuggets in simply your journey.
00:02:12.472 --> 00:02:14.132

00:02:14.262 --> 00:02:24.012
And so speaking of your journey, can you share your, that personal journey that led you to become what would be considered a breakthrough coach and author?
00:02:24.012 --> 00:02:26.891
Of
00:02:27.042 --> 00:02:27.521
that.
00:02:27.581 --> 00:02:30.632
I absolutely can do that, Jon it would be my joy.
00:02:30.641 --> 00:02:31.021
So.
00:02:31.451 --> 00:02:36.632
Yes, I have been an entrepreneur for over 10 years over a decade.
00:02:36.812 --> 00:02:49.122
I was also at one point full time Employment like day job up until about two and a half years ago um, and So my initial my first business is a photography business.
00:02:49.132 --> 00:02:54.312
So i'm a professional photographer And then my day job was a teacher.
00:02:54.442 --> 00:03:02.502
So i'm a certified teacher and then I A couple years ago, I stepped into becoming a breakthrough coach.
00:03:02.822 --> 00:03:04.722
Um, and it was for a couple reasons.
00:03:05.141 --> 00:03:07.722
And one of them was like a practical reason.
00:03:07.722 --> 00:03:10.081
I did lose my job due to discrimination.
00:03:10.092 --> 00:03:15.951
And I said, well, I need more than one way to provide for myself.
00:03:16.481 --> 00:03:17.921
And yeah, right.
00:03:18.132 --> 00:03:39.046
But the other thing is, is that I personally went through some things that actually We're terrible for my business and, uh, because our personal life and the things that are we go through, uh, does affect how everything else goes in our lives.
00:03:39.616 --> 00:03:45.576
And I in particular had an issue with unforgiveness towards someone.
00:03:45.637 --> 00:04:00.336
And as it turned out, when I started going through my whole healing process and healing journey, which was like about three years, like of real like Um, intense work, um, in which I was like kicking and screaming, going like, God, no, I don't want to do this.
00:04:00.546 --> 00:04:01.157
I don't want to forgive.
00:04:01.157 --> 00:04:03.296
I know I was being like a little two year old brat.
00:04:03.296 --> 00:04:03.646
Right?
00:04:03.977 --> 00:04:11.657
But, but, uh, it really directly impacted how my life was going.
00:04:12.567 --> 00:04:16.076
And then I saw also starting to come out.
00:04:16.451 --> 00:04:38.351
As a result of all the things that were going on in 2020 how people's mental health was not really Going in a positive direction and people were really falling apart and things were just like kind of exploding out of everywhere and so I said well I Happen to have gone through some things that I know I can help other people Um and support them in their wellness and being a teacher.
00:04:38.351 --> 00:04:41.221
I teach I coach I teach tools.
00:04:41.221 --> 00:04:49.161
I'm not a therapist Um, I've been told one of my journals, one of my books is better than five years of therapy, but, by someone, but I am not a therapist.
00:04:49.161 --> 00:04:53.211
I literally teach strategies and tools in order to get breakthroughs.
00:04:53.531 --> 00:05:02.591
Um, and by breakthroughs, I mean like in our mindset, I mean spiritual breakthroughs, and I mean physical breakthroughs, because we're mind, body, and spirit.
00:05:02.971 --> 00:05:03.552
I like it.
00:05:03.562 --> 00:05:04.771
address all parts of ourselves.
00:05:05.052 --> 00:05:05.552
Oh.
00:05:05.661 --> 00:05:06.341
in a nutshell.
00:05:06.382 --> 00:05:06.822
Yeah.
00:05:07.351 --> 00:05:14.641
So I think out of those three, the spiritual breakthrough is an interesting one to dive into.
00:05:14.651 --> 00:05:24.701
Are you down to dive into what that looks like as far as someone that, uh, maybe an example of someone that needs a spiritual breakthrough and what that process looks like.
00:05:24.701 --> 00:05:25.461
I'm very curious.
00:05:25.901 --> 00:05:26.391
Yeah.
00:05:26.391 --> 00:05:27.021
Yeah.
00:05:27.021 --> 00:05:32.482
So, uh, So we could talk about fear, for example.
00:05:33.112 --> 00:05:36.502
Um, fear is a good thing.
00:05:36.622 --> 00:05:38.331
It's like an emotional thing.
00:05:38.812 --> 00:05:43.041
Uh, it is something that keeps us safe, right?
00:05:43.072 --> 00:05:53.692
I should be very afraid to, I use this, this all the time'cause it's just such a simple like, duh example, but, well, I should be very afraid to stand in front of moving traffic.
00:05:53.752 --> 00:05:56.992
Like I should be afraid to like cross the street in front of a moving truck,
00:05:57.187 --> 00:05:57.547
That's like.
00:05:57.607 --> 00:05:58.637
survival stuff.
00:05:58.776 --> 00:05:59.836
It's survival stuff
00:05:59.976 --> 00:06:00.586
built in.
00:06:01.257 --> 00:06:11.427
is built in and even there's other things like a lot of times, um, like riding on a motorcycle or skydiving or roller coasters, different things.
00:06:11.427 --> 00:06:13.387
Those are, those are fear, right?
00:06:13.416 --> 00:06:15.127
And they're fun also.
00:06:15.137 --> 00:06:16.257
Well, maybe not fun for me.
00:06:16.257 --> 00:06:46.346
I don't see myself jumping out of a plane, I don't know that I'm really ready to evict that fear more, but you know, like, Fear can be good and it can be fun but there is a spiritual component and so We know when we've gone out of an emotion of fear And we've gone more into like a spiritual fear like where it's oppressing us and when we start seeing patterns in our life repeat over and over and over again like I was afraid to do that interview.
00:06:46.346 --> 00:06:48.437
I, um, to go on that job interview.
00:06:48.437 --> 00:06:57.156
I was afraid to, uh, get asked for a promotion at work, even though I deserved it, I was afraid to speak up in the meeting.
00:06:57.177 --> 00:07:03.362
I was afraid to call my friends up, um, and have a hard conversation with him or her.
00:07:03.661 --> 00:07:07.151
I'm afraid of letting people get close to me in dating relationships.
00:07:07.192 --> 00:07:23.112
I'm afraid to start that business I'm afraid like of doing lives on social media when you start noticing that there's patterns repeating in your life You know that you're actually in a spiritual battle with fear Versus it's just like an emotional battle.
00:07:23.271 --> 00:07:43.137
We all have something that we might be a little afraid of Um, and it's like when it's just kind of isolated and it's like a one thing here or one thing over there It's just we're like in our emotions and we might be overthinking But when the patterns when there's patterns and it keeps happening over and over and over again And it could be fear and finances.
00:07:43.137 --> 00:07:49.651
We could like be like we could be and i'm talking about fear of success Like it could be like self sabotaging.
00:07:49.651 --> 00:08:00.182
You might be able to save a thousand dollars and then all of a sudden you end up spending all that thousand dollars and now you're back to zero savings and you cannot ever get over that thousand dollar savings mark.
00:08:00.687 --> 00:08:01.257
hmm.
00:08:01.276 --> 00:08:02.007
That's like an example.
00:08:02.206 --> 00:08:12.677
You're actually afraid without possibly without, um, and there may be other things going on, um, as well, but there's like a spiritual component to that.
00:08:12.677 --> 00:08:18.456
And fear is just like one example, but I feel like almost everything is rooted in fear one way or another, good or bad.
00:08:18.997 --> 00:08:20.887
You should be afraid to cheat on your spouse.
00:08:20.896 --> 00:08:21.146
Yeah.
00:08:21.307 --> 00:08:23.807
you should be afraid of their wrath and hurting them, right?
00:08:23.807 --> 00:08:26.276
There's some things that should be checking us, right?
00:08:26.437 --> 00:08:26.627
The
00:08:26.786 --> 00:08:27.507
not always bad.
00:08:27.966 --> 00:08:28.257
Yeah.
00:08:29.697 --> 00:08:32.576
Yeah, there's, there's a lot of, there's definitely a lot of fear out there.
00:08:32.917 --> 00:08:50.402
Um, and, um, Uh, what triggered, not triggered, but what came up to me was I identified with the self sabotage side of fear where you have all this opportunity around you, but for some reason you miss out on it due to certain patterns.
00:08:50.402 --> 00:08:55.221
You may have spiritual unawareness of, there's a lot of stuff going on.
00:08:55.581 --> 00:08:57.932
And you mentioned patterns a couple of times.
00:08:59.091 --> 00:09:04.312
Is there anything that you can say as far as for someone to identify these patterns or what, what, what.
00:09:04.922 --> 00:09:05.211
Yeah.
00:09:05.422 --> 00:09:07.631
What kind of tools do we have to identify them?
00:09:07.652 --> 00:09:12.011
Because I feel like that's a huge component of identifying it and becoming more aware of it.
00:09:12.642 --> 00:09:16.442
I mean, it's, it can be generational, or it can be within your own life.
00:09:16.826 --> 00:09:22.006
Um, but look for things that are constantly repeating.
00:09:22.017 --> 00:09:26.126
Look back and, like, the things that are frustrating you the most, right?
00:09:26.197 --> 00:09:31.897
Is it something that has also been a problem for your siblings if you have them?
00:09:31.917 --> 00:09:34.567
I'm an only child, so I don't have siblings to compare myself to.
00:09:34.976 --> 00:09:42.547
But like your parents, your grandparents, your aunts, your uncles, um, and it could be like anything beyond like fear.
00:09:42.557 --> 00:09:47.787
Fear is, I'm just giving as an example, but it could be, um, patterns of sickness, like cancer.
00:09:47.996 --> 00:09:53.937
They, they go to, you go to the doctor and you check off all of these things, like do you have heart disease?
00:09:53.986 --> 00:09:54.626
Do you have this?
00:09:54.636 --> 00:09:55.197
Do you have that?
00:09:55.417 --> 00:09:57.177
But what's causing these things?
00:09:57.177 --> 00:10:00.037
Like why is everyone in the family dying from a heart attack?
00:10:00.626 --> 00:10:05.826
At that point, you, I personally feel there's like a spiritual component to it.
00:10:06.366 --> 00:10:12.456
Um, why is everyone getting divorced in your family or not married?
00:10:12.466 --> 00:10:15.616
There's like, why, why is this?
00:10:15.626 --> 00:10:19.116
That's a problem when you see that like over and over and over again.
00:10:19.116 --> 00:10:22.456
And you have to wonder about what's going on spiritually.
00:10:22.466 --> 00:10:23.116
Cause we aren't, we're not.
00:10:23.557 --> 00:10:24.886
We came from somewhere.
00:10:24.927 --> 00:10:32.297
We all have maybe different ideas of how we got here, but we came from somewhere and we're going to go somewhere.
00:10:32.567 --> 00:10:38.386
And so in between, there's still that spiritual realm that we're, we're spiritual beings.
00:10:38.386 --> 00:10:48.917
We have us, you know, so, um, so that being said, you look over and over at the patterns and you can look over and over at the patterns even in your life.
00:10:49.267 --> 00:10:52.496
Um, and personally, like.
00:10:53.817 --> 00:10:58.767
I ended up having some patterns that were not really pretty to me.
00:10:58.767 --> 00:11:04.917
I realized, um, in terms of forgiveness or unforgiveness, I thought I was just mad as someone who hurt me.
00:11:05.197 --> 00:11:10.287
And what I realized when I started going through things, I hadn't, it wasn't just him.
00:11:10.596 --> 00:11:13.216
I had a whole pattern of unforgiveness to myself.
00:11:13.236 --> 00:11:21.616
And so the pattern of how I was talking to him and how I was reacting to him, how I was talking to God about him was also how I would talk about myself.
00:11:21.961 --> 00:11:25.772
I had like a really hard harsh way of self talk, right?
00:11:25.881 --> 00:11:30.491
So my mindset was very critical I am a recovering perfectionist.
00:11:30.741 --> 00:11:37.331
And so if I was not doing things perfectly in my photography work That stemmed over into my relationships.
00:11:37.331 --> 00:11:38.932
Like my photos have to be perfect.
00:11:39.152 --> 00:11:40.341
They have to look like everyone else's.
00:11:40.341 --> 00:11:42.162
Wait, they should not look like everyone else's.
00:11:42.192 --> 00:11:46.272
Sometimes as artists, we get, you know, um, a little carried away.
00:11:46.302 --> 00:11:49.892
But, um, I was like, I have to be the perfect woman.
00:11:49.892 --> 00:11:51.572
I have to have like the perfect past.
00:11:51.572 --> 00:11:53.461
Like, so now my perfectionism, right.
00:11:53.481 --> 00:11:54.131
So my unforgiveness.
00:11:54.836 --> 00:12:13.297
I had issues with my father's mother, you know, like I realized that there was a lot of unforgiveness there There was so I saw that there were patterns coming up over and over again in my life and so that's how I knew it was a spiritual issue and not like just a mindset issue
00:12:13.721 --> 00:12:14.562
Interesting.
00:12:15.042 --> 00:12:17.532
Would you say that journaling was a big part of that?
00:12:17.532 --> 00:12:20.522
Because I know that you have a 20 day forgiveness journal.
00:12:21.886 --> 00:12:28.052
Yes, I did, um, so I've done all sorts of different types of journaling.
00:12:28.052 --> 00:12:29.251
I was looking around for it.
00:12:29.511 --> 00:12:39.221
Um, I used to journal, I've done it like dreams, dreams is a really great way, um, because it is also goes with spiritual and you can see patterns come out.
00:12:39.631 --> 00:12:43.782
Um, so I've done journaling in different ways over the course of my life.
00:12:44.052 --> 00:12:52.402
Like when I first started journaling in fifth grade, it was like, dear diary, I have this crush on so and so he's so cute.
00:12:54.116 --> 00:12:56.116
Yeah, that's how I started in fifth grade.
00:12:56.126 --> 00:13:13.491
But then, um, one of the things that I came into journaling like later on in my life and during like the three year, Um, I was journaling my dreams and what I realized there was like a lot of, um, like demonic type things that were happening and different things in my dreams.
00:13:13.491 --> 00:13:18.312
And so that you, when you, when you write it down, you might, Oh, I just had a bad dream last night.
00:13:18.491 --> 00:13:25.792
But when you write it down and you start chronologically and you're like, wait, there's a problem here, like a big problem.
00:13:26.361 --> 00:13:29.522
Um, that was one way I've journaled.
00:13:29.542 --> 00:13:32.481
I've, I've done journaling, um, in my business.
00:13:33.461 --> 00:13:42.822
Uh, where it's not like so much like fluid, it's like, let me just jot down at least three things I did today to like help my business.
00:13:42.912 --> 00:13:44.932
So I've done journaling in different ways.
00:13:45.282 --> 00:13:46.011
interesting.
00:13:46.312 --> 00:13:52.601
I would like, so one, I identify and I connect with you on journaling for dreams.
00:13:52.631 --> 00:14:02.652
I think I have like four episodes on like literally that having what type of dream and journaling for that and trying to understand what's going on because.
00:14:03.091 --> 00:14:12.501
Whether it be growing up in front of a TV practically and watching a lot of 80s and 90s movies about sci fi that that mind of yours will go places.
00:14:13.111 --> 00:14:28.721
And I did see a lot of reflection in that, but I'm very curious how What made you think that you had, uh, feel free to share anything specific, but what made you think that you had demonic type influences in your dreams?
00:14:29.131 --> 00:14:31.351
Because sometimes it could just be a bad dream.
00:14:31.351 --> 00:14:32.772
Someone just shrugs it off.
00:14:33.091 --> 00:14:36.081
I'm curious about that connection and feel free to share an example.
00:14:36.601 --> 00:15:27.831
Oh gosh, um, yeah, well I'm gonna i'm gonna get so this is something that a lot of people struggle with and so I While i've gone through things I feel like and i've studied things for myself There i'm gonna give your you and your audience someone that I recommend Who has like tons and tons and tons of resources specifically around dreams Um, his name is pastor kevin la ewing and if you go to his youtube channel Um, he's like how I started to realize that it wasn't just like all in my head Um, because I I was starting to search I was like what in the world beth is going On with you like what this is not normal Um And I had a friend who was like, uh, she, she was like, I'm not going to talk to you.
00:15:27.841 --> 00:15:30.351
She's like, you need professional help.
00:15:30.682 --> 00:15:31.572
I knew I did.
00:15:31.642 --> 00:15:32.282
I was like, yeah,
00:15:32.392 --> 00:15:33.121
need help,
00:15:33.517 --> 00:15:36.142
but I knew it wasn't like a psychological thing.
00:15:36.142 --> 00:15:40.741
I knew that there was like really something that was really, really, really going on with me.
00:15:41.211 --> 00:15:50.052
Um, And when I started listening to, um, his channel and he started, so yeah, Pastor Kevin L.
00:15:50.081 --> 00:15:53.292
Ewing, he has like things on like dream meetings.
00:15:53.292 --> 00:15:55.841
He's, he's just got like tons and tons of resources.
00:15:56.231 --> 00:15:58.081
So he's like a wealth of information.
00:15:58.501 --> 00:16:07.111
Um, so there can be different things, um, from my research and my understanding, um, that offends God.
00:16:08.172 --> 00:16:14.231
And so I guess I'm going to speak from a Christian perspective because that is, I know things from the biblical perspective.
00:16:14.251 --> 00:16:17.471
I can't speak from, you know, Judeo perspective.
00:16:17.481 --> 00:16:20.381
Well, I could, I guess maybe a little bit because there's the old Testament, right?
00:16:20.381 --> 00:16:25.392
We share that Christians and Jews, but like, I can't speak on it from other perspectives.
00:16:25.451 --> 00:16:28.721
Like I've studied other religions just in general, but not like in depth.
00:16:28.731 --> 00:16:35.471
So, um, the whole premise of salvation for Christians is forgiveness.
00:16:36.261 --> 00:16:37.532
I want God to forgive me.
00:16:39.527 --> 00:16:48.667
But I am not I am too good I am better than God to forgive myself or to forgive someone else and There are different things and fear is another thing.
00:16:49.096 --> 00:17:16.146
We are told we have to Without faith it is impossible to please God and Also, love is very important and I feel like love is what heals fear but When I, it says, and I'm going to get the quote a little bit wrong, but he who does not understand love fears or something, oh gosh, I just messed that Bible verse way up.
00:17:16.797 --> 00:17:17.586
Um,
00:17:17.652 --> 00:17:19.021
we're getting the gist of it.
00:17:19.021 --> 00:17:22.602
Is it like, if without love there is fear?
00:17:22.862 --> 00:17:22.991
You
00:17:23.057 --> 00:17:24.106
Yeah, it's pretty much.
00:17:24.106 --> 00:17:24.487
Yeah.
00:17:24.797 --> 00:17:30.356
Um, yeah, I should have written it down in advance, but anyway, I didn't know where this conversation was going to go.
00:17:30.426 --> 00:17:34.007
So I didn't, I like, yeah.
00:17:34.257 --> 00:17:37.946
So anyway, um, and I have a, I have a specific workshop.
00:17:37.946 --> 00:17:41.386
I'm teaching very shortly and I have that verse.
00:17:41.436 --> 00:17:55.727
Um, but yeah, um, um, So it so unforgiveness and fear, it opens us up to attacks like there's a story of Job and I will tell you about the dreams in a second in the bio, but I'm just trying to like back it up.
00:17:55.727 --> 00:18:05.807
There's a story in Job and Job was like this great guy and he was always sacrificing and doing all these things to make God happy.
00:18:06.037 --> 00:18:14.936
And one day Satan shows up in heaven because apparently it's like he got kicked out of heaven, but he can still come back and have a good old conversation with God.
00:18:15.007 --> 00:18:19.307
It seems so interesting when you really start reading things.
00:18:19.817 --> 00:18:21.406
Um, what is going on?
00:18:21.757 --> 00:18:23.886
And God's like, well, where'd you come from?
00:18:23.946 --> 00:18:28.096
And he's like, Oh, I was just, you know, walking around seeing what there was to see.
00:18:28.096 --> 00:18:30.997
And God's like, Oh, did you see my boy Job down there?
00:18:31.217 --> 00:18:32.257
He's like, really great.
00:18:32.267 --> 00:18:32.717
Isn't he?
00:18:32.717 --> 00:18:36.707
And Job's like, yeah, that's only cause you, or Satan's like, that's only cause you have a hedge of protection.
00:18:36.707 --> 00:18:37.636
You're protecting him.
00:18:38.926 --> 00:18:39.926
And his life is good.
00:18:39.987 --> 00:18:43.777
But if you took away your protection, his life would not be so good.
00:18:43.777 --> 00:18:57.777
And God's like, all right, well, let's, Let's see what happens is kind of to me and my perspective, like almost like a bet where they're like God's betting on Job to not curse him and die and Satan's like, he's gonna turn on you.
00:18:58.287 --> 00:19:04.426
Um, but there's a point where Job is like everything that I was afraid of happened.
00:19:05.477 --> 00:19:11.767
There had to be like, God can't, God is not going to go back on his word.
00:19:11.777 --> 00:19:13.067
He always keeps his word.
00:19:13.396 --> 00:19:28.507
So, When we step away from his protection, we open ourselves up to problems like when we're willfully like going opposite of his commands, like so in for my case, I was willfully going against God by refusing to forgive someone.
00:19:28.547 --> 00:19:36.957
And as I realized also myself, um, And there was a lot of fear at the base of that too, of like, what would happen if I forgave someone?
00:19:36.957 --> 00:19:38.797
Like, I might get hurt again and this and that.
00:19:38.797 --> 00:19:42.676
And like, my fear of perfectionism, like, well, then I won't be perfect.
00:19:43.136 --> 00:19:47.017
Um, if you know, you know, like that whole fear of not being perfect.
00:19:47.717 --> 00:19:54.027
So I kind of, Open myself up to problems, um, and being able to be attacked.
00:19:54.037 --> 00:19:59.906
Just like Job had this fear that then led to his sons, everyone dying.
00:19:59.916 --> 00:20:01.057
He got sick,
00:20:01.311 --> 00:20:01.951
Yeah, that was a
00:20:02.047 --> 00:20:02.416
life,
00:20:02.547 --> 00:20:03.757
Rough story.
00:20:03.826 --> 00:20:04.307
Yeah.
00:20:04.497 --> 00:20:05.987
It is a rough story.
00:20:06.027 --> 00:20:08.876
Um, but he, he ended up getting it all back and more.
00:20:09.166 --> 00:20:10.406
Um, so.
00:20:10.961 --> 00:20:15.221
It does have a happy ending, I guess, but it's really messy in the middle.
00:20:15.662 --> 00:20:18.301
Um, so I think it gives hope for all of us.
00:20:18.332 --> 00:20:24.132
So what happened with me is I went through personally, um, a sexual trauma.
00:20:24.132 --> 00:20:30.317
I was raped by someone and then I decided to not deal with it.
00:20:30.346 --> 00:20:31.696
I wanted to pretend it away.
00:20:31.717 --> 00:20:35.247
And I decided I would try to build a relationship with someone new.
00:20:35.257 --> 00:20:40.517
Like, just let's let's like, get this show on the road and forget that thing ever happened.
