If you’ve followed me for any amount of time you know my own personal sales and business transformation and going from stuck at the same level for over a decade to 10X’ing my income within 6 weeks did not come from working harder. It came from diving deep into my subconscious programs that were hindering me and keeping me stuck, and developing a new belief system that empowered me to quantum leap.Â
As I now teach and believe – your results will never supersede your identity.Â
So today we get to go deep with an expert in reprogramming the subconscious mind and removing limiting beliefs that may have persisted for most of our lives. My guest today is Joel Bein, the founder of Human Liberation, where he shares a revolutionary approach to removing negative beliefs from the subconscious mind, freeing people from their unwanted thoughts and emotions.Â

[3:17] – Joel’s personal development story started early, at only age 18. He was drawn to learning more about creating a healthy world.
[5:19] – As children, we create stories to make sense of these. But they become baggage and get in the way as we become adults.
[7:23] – Amazing things are unlocked when we learn how to be our authentic selves again.
[9:02] – You have needs that money simply cannot meet.
[11:00] – We tend to hold back and sit on our needs.
[12:09] – What is the belief that is holding you back?
[15:19] – Affirmations are valuable, but it is the hardest thing for people to find value in.
[17:02] – Until we deal with the part of us that truly believes something limiting, affirmations will not be as impactful.
[19:33] – Money is a common taboo topic and an area of contention for a lot of people who don’t feel worthy of having it.
[21:33] – Joel explains how to do a gut check on a limiting belief.
[25:34] – Integrate the body and the mind. Your body will feel the limiting belief.
[29:27] – The hustle mindset is something that needs to be dismantled. Joel is a fan of something called High Performing Loafing.
[31:10] – Rest and relaxation is key to your brain’s performance.
[32:49] – It is hard to let go of the instilled belief that we are not doing enough.
[34:21] – Self care can be interpreted in a lot of different ways. For some people, this can swing the pendulum in the other direction.
[36:45] – The methods Joel teaches eliminates the limiting beliefs.
[40:18] – The emotional impact of this work can be very fast if you are open to it.

Welcome to She Sells Radio I am personally very excited for today’s
0:07
conversation because if you have followed me for any amount of time you know I love talking about Quantum leaps
0:13
and any time in my sales in my life in my business when I have Quantum leaped
0:20
and there have been many times when I’ve been stuck too so that’s definitely part of the story but anytime I’ve Quantum
0:25
leaped it has not been from working harder it has not been from just out
0:31
hustling in fact those were the activities and the ways of being where I stayed stuck um when I have truly
0:38
Quantum leave it has been from going inside and learning how to rewire and
0:44
shift the subconscious programming that was keeping me stuck at a certain level
0:49
to start actually seeing and believing that what I wanted was possible and so
0:55
what I really now teach and believe is that your results will never supersede your identity and so today we get to go
1:02
in depth with an expert in reprogramming the subconscious mind and how you remove
1:08
limiting beliefs that could have persisted for most of your life so my guest today is Joel Bine he’s the
1:14
founder of human Liberation and he shares a revolutionary approach to removing negative beliefs from the
1:20
subconscious mind which I’m very excited to hear about freeing people from their unwanted thoughts and emotions so Joel
1:26
welcome so much to the podcast I am very excited to dive in with you today and I’m ready to take notes because I know
1:33
that I’m going to learn so much too so thank you for being here my pleasure I’m excited to be here amazing so you know
1:40
we get we get a lot of uh reach outs for the show and when I and and most of them
1:46
I’m like nah you know it’s just it’s not a fit or we don’t have bandwidth when I saw what you were doing and more about
1:52
your work I was like yes we need to have you on because this is the one thing that if people can learn how to do it
1:59
will will transform not just their results but their I I want to hear your
2:05
thoughts on this too but their peace and their happiness and their enjoyment of the process so um so I’m so excited to
2:11
to hear more from you and I know that anyone who has something that they teach and their passionate about they usually
2:16
have some sort of a backstory where they had to learn it for themselves or they had to overcome challenges in order to
2:22
um in order to create this methodology so would you share just a little bit more about your personal growth story
2:29
and what even LED you down this path of wanting to learn how to overcome limiting beliefs and then teaching so
2:35
many other people how to do so yeah absolutely I mean it’s funny my
2:40
personal development story started early I think age 1819 I just found myself
2:47
starting to gravitate towards podcasts about parenting philosophy and
2:52
psychology and thinking about how it is how is it that children are raised in
3:00
this culture right and thinking about how how can we create a healthy world
3:05
for adults by focusing on the fundamentals the fundamentals are how children are raised
3:11
right we we build these habits that that start in childhood I’ve always been interested in fundamentals I’m a I’m a
3:18
classically trained musician very passionate about that as well and so you need to know your your scales you need
3:23
to know your fundamentals you need to know the basics so I’m I’ve always been interested in in the fundamentals and
3:29
getting to the root of things to actually solve the problem and actually build healthy habits and healthy ways of
3:36
being so that’s one place that really started for me you know coming and coming out of a you know less than ideal
3:42
childhood for sure and having you know some chaos and dysfunction and just not
3:47
really being my authentic self not really being nurtured you know of course because of my parents own limitations
3:54
and their own beliefs and their own unprocessed childhoods and so I started gravitating getting towards that that
4:00
deep stuff from a young age and then doing a lot of different personal development throughout my 20s and and
4:06
getting to know who I actually am and then in my 30s really beginning to apply
4:12
that knowledge and and and sharing that authentic self with the world and that’s really when I came across in my early
4:18
30s the this method that I’m now sharing with the world which has been the most powerful tool I’ve come across to
4:25
actually to actually let go at the root of these these conditioned beliefs that
4:34
we’re you know as kids were trying to navigate our environments we’re trying to get connection and love and safety
4:40
and so forth and so we create stories to to make sense of things and and get those needs met but then they become
4:48
baggage um they become they get in the way they become clutter as we as we move
4:54
into adulthood so it’s it’s actually getting to that route and and and then
4:59
you can free yourself fully so that’s that’s kind of the high level uh backstory wow yeah well there’s there’s
5:05
a lot of places we could go with that and um something that we’ll talk today a fair amount about money uh if you’re
5:12
game for it our listeners are here and they’re you know they’re either in sales or they’re entrepreneurs so they they
5:18
want to learn how to grow their money and um well you know we’ll talk money blocks too but one of the things that
5:24
really transformed my life was when I I understood that the reason why I was
5:29
wanting more money wasn’t so much to have this like stack of paper sitting
5:34
there because money on its own without any sort of emotional impact doesn’t really do anything for us it was it was
5:41
the freedom that I thought it would create and it and to me surface level it’s like well yes it creates time and
5:47
money freedom and that’s powerful but at a deeper level what I’ve really come to understand and I’d love to hear your
5:53
your perspective on this we’ll go more into your story and your methodology too but the deepest Freedom that I I
5:59
personally feel like we’re seeking is is the freedom to be fully ourselves like when we’re there when we feel that that
6:06
to me is when everything unlocks so you spoke about being your authentic self
6:13
and I think that that phrase I know for many years I would hear it thr I was like you know it’s it’s sounded like a
6:20
t-shirt something nice to say but I didn’t really think it had a lot of value I was like how’s that going to make me help more help me make more
6:25
money I don’t really see a lot of value in it and being someone who’s who’s been
6:30
on this path and continues to be on this path there’s amazing things that unlock when
6:36
we actually tap back into like who were we in childhood and and um who is our
6:42
authentic self versus the the false self right and and start to close that Gap so
6:48
um share a little bit more about this concept of the authentic self and if someone’s listening how do they know if
6:55
they are showing up as their authentic self or if they’re not and and what why
7:01
do we want to why do we care right for someone who’s listening they’re like I care about the bottom line they’re at least 5 10 years ago how do they why do
7:08
why do they care to start really showing up as their authentic self and what would change or transform in their
7:13
business and their sales I hope that question makes sense it’s a lot of questions yeah well I like that you said
7:18
what’s the purpose of money basically it’s the endgame I mean it’s not money for money’s sake it’s to create a
7:27
flourishing life it’s to create freedom is to have certain needs met so that you can be happy like what’s life for it’s
7:34
to be happy right and I see happiness as how many of our needs can we get met at the highest level right so we have a
7:40
need for security and freedom and we also have needs for for connection and
7:48
we have a need to be seen right so it’s funny I I was listening to this podcast
7:53
and there’s this this guy who works with he’s worked with billionaires throughout
7:58
his career and he was giving this he was relaying the fact that there are many
8:05
many billionaires people who have1 billion dollar who wish they had two billion do and the reason that that is
8:13
is because they have inner inner things that they haven’t solved right it’s the
8:19
inner game and at the end of the day you could have all the money in the world but what’s what’s the point of
8:24
life right so if you’re if you’re lonely if you’re not being seen for who you are if you’re not expressing who you are
8:30
then you’re not going to be flourishing right so if you zoom out and say how do I create a true you know Michael
8:37
ellsburg and Brian Franklin their book The Last safe investment they talk about true wealth true wealth it’s not just
8:43
Financial wealth it’s all the wealth it’s social wealth it’s it’s feeling like you can express yourself it’s
8:51
having experiences that are meaningful all these things that that create a flourishing Abundant Life so yeah I mean
8:58
authentic self I think if you tune in in terms of how to know if you’re being your
9:04
false self or a true self one thing that comes to mind is just when you’re in
9:10
you’re having you know conversations with a a close friend or a romantic
9:15
partner like do you notice anything in your body that’s feeling guarded right you want to
9:22
maybe this part you want to express yourself you want to say what you actually think but then
9:28
you back yeah right because there could be some you sit on your needs you sit on
9:33
your needs for self-expression and self assertiveness right and you you hide and
9:39
this is I I know this very well because much of my life I’ve done this but uh
9:44
you hide that actual self- assertiveness so that you can at least
9:50
ostensibly create that illusion of I’m going to I’m going to stay safe and connected if I don’t actually disagree
9:56
here or I don’t actually show up as my full self right so that’s kind of the
10:02
one way to think about it so you said you sit on your needs right did I hear that correctly yeah that speak more I
10:10
think this is so powerful and so important there’s there’s some follow-up questions I want to ask but I know I’ve
10:16
had that experience many times and like I like I’ve I’ve made a I’ve grown a lot in this area and I’m still like every
10:23
day I’m noticing ways in which I’m like oh I held back there and I wanted to say something or so I I don’t know that this
10:29
work ever ends um but that sitting on your needs really spoke to me the way
10:34
that you put it because that feels very clear so what does someone if they notice they’re doing
10:41
this what do we start to do I know you’ve got a methodology and so I don’t like obviously people would want to hire
10:47
you to go deeper in this if they want to have the full experience but can you speak a little bit to how do we start to
10:53
unravel that way of being and and what is the the way that you approach this with clients when when they’ve maybe had
11:00
this pattern for most of their life how do we start to feel safe to actually show up and be visible and be seen as
11:06
our most authentic selves yeah the the discovery process of
11:12
figuring out what beliefs the subconscious mind has is the most
11:18
important part because I can connect with someone and we can clear any belief
11:23
for them very rapidly the question is what’s the belief that’s causing you the
11:29
most issues in your life in your patterns so if that’s a fear of let’s just take that same example of of
11:36
self-expression fear fear of self assertiveness again I start with the body like okay we we have this pattern
11:44
when you’re talk let’s just say you’re talking to your husband and you notice that you feel guarded in that moment
11:52
okay let’s start with that now let’s connect to the body the body is feeling this guardedness
11:59
this fear okay often I’ll ask clients if that fear or guardedness could speak
12:06
what would it say and that gives us the chance to see this fear this feeling as a separate
12:13
part of you so understanding that the the psyche
12:19
is sort of a family of parts of ourselves part of me thinks this part of me feels
12:24
this and seeing okay it’s not that I’m fearful it’s there’s this part of me
12:30
that’s fearful and so then we can kind of have that
12:36
perspective oh this is this part oh and that part is coming from my past
12:41
experience right so then we begin to dialogue with the part to to understand
12:47
what the actual beliefs are the actual root Concepts that are filtering reality so
12:53
there could be a belief that I’m not assertive or it’s not safe
12:59
to express myself or I’m not good enough I’m not good enough in my experience
13:07
working with with dozens and dozens of people is the most common belief I think
13:14
people have in the in the world so if we can actually identify the
13:21
conceptual you know the the language that that spotlights the actual Concepts the part of you is believing then we can
13:29
then we can work this process and and clear the belief out um but it’s it’s really starting with the body often
13:35
times and starting what is the pattern I have now connect to that part of you and figure out what that part of you is
13:42
believing that makes a ton of sense once you so once we connect to that part of
13:47
us and we’re like okay I’ve got some clarity on what that part of me is believing how do we start to shift it
13:53
because I think you speak to and I know a lot of people will teach affirmations
13:59
visualization and um and I have a an approach that I use in my own life but I’m curious to hear from you like is
14:05
that is that how you shift it with your clients or have you found something that’s a more powerful approach because
14:11
there’s a lot of people listening who probably say oh I tried affirmations and it didn’t work for me I tried a vision
14:16
board I tried manifesting and it didn’t work so what’s the what’s the Gap and is there a different or better way to clear
14:24
those beliefs and then create because we’ve got to replace it with a different belief right so what does that look like for you when you’re working with
14:31
clients yeah I love I love this topic uh affirmations I believe are very valuable
14:37
but it is the case that many people struggle to gain value from them and it’s because the subconscious part is
14:46
believing the opposite perhaps so I mean I did affirmations for years like I’m
14:52
enough I’m enough I’m enough and I I remember doing that and it would give me this shortterm value but then I also
14:59
remember thinking deep down that it was it was nonsense it was BS what I was
15:05
saying because deep down I believed I’m not enough so it’s like trying to spray the
15:13
dog dooo on the carpet with air freshener it’s like we need to actually clear out the problem and then if you
15:19
want to add air freshener to enhance things if you want to add the affirmation to enhance things
15:26
I think that’s great but but what I do is is is really just about the
15:32
unlearning process it’s deprogramming it’s not focused at all on
15:38
learning new things on New on new affirmations on reprogramming on shifting this and changing and adding
15:44
it’s subtracting it’s unlearning it’s pulling out the weeds it’s pulling out the weeds of the
15:52
mental Garden you pull out the weeds and then if you want to plant some new seeds that are wonderful affirmations for man
15:58
man estation all the good things like well now we’ve cleared all this stuff that’s getting in the way so this is why
16:06
people have the uh you know there’s like this caricature of affirmations and like
16:12
people are turned off sometimes by affirmations and visualization because it doesn’t work
16:18
for a lot of people because we have all these beliefs from parts of us that that are holding on and until we actually
16:25
dialogue with the part of us that believes I’m not good enough or I’m not enough or money is evil whatever it is
16:33
then we’re just going to keep having this oppositional energy to the
16:40
affirmation that’s something I’ve been really thinking about in my own life lately too and and for my clients too
16:45
it’s just this experience of like split energy which I think so many people listening if if you’re conscious and if
16:51
you’re paying attention you may notice in your life where it’s like I want this thing and I feel this pulled towards
16:56
this thing and I feel bad for wanting it I tell I make myself wrong I feel like I
17:03
always have to work so hard to get there um you know I beat myself up Etc so I I
17:09
this is not an at leas original I don’t know who said this originally but I think this is where people get it messed
17:14
up with Law of Attraction manifestation is they think well you just sit there and you look at the vision board all day
17:20
or you affirm all day and and it happens and and no because in life we don’t get what we want we get what we are right so
17:28
to your point of you got to clear out the weeds first before you can plant the
17:33
new seeds if there’s a if there’s a weed in there like you’re going to attract based on that belief based on that
17:40
negative belief even if it’s not what you want so I I think it’s a I love the
17:45
approach let’s talk specifically to money and money blocks um so I don’t
17:52
know if you see this with your clients a lot of the work I do with mine and what we see with a lot of the members of the
17:57
community is around worthiness so you know we’ve got we got all genders in the community
18:04
obviously more women the men here but um but what’s you
18:09
know I see this so commonly with the women who come into our group programs where they they want another level of
18:15
success they want another level of abundance and yet they either they don’t
18:21
feel worthy of it they feel bad for wanting it there can be old religious wounding about you’re going to be
18:27
punished if you go for what you H or you should feel shameful for more how do we can you speak to those a little bit like
18:34
how do you approach those with clients how do we start to break those I know it’s probably the same process but let’s let’s make it specific to money right
18:40
now because I know this is a hot button for the community absolutely I mean money I love
18:47
talking about this partially because it’s the most taboo Topic in the culture
18:52
I think yeah and so getting curious about that taboo to start with can be an
18:58
entry point into our money beliefs again all a subconscious mind you might know that you’re worthy of success and
19:05
abundance and prosperity and being rich and you want those things and that’s so
19:10
amazing and then these deep childhood parts are are attached I mean I mean for
19:16
me I I grew up in a family where there was no exposure to business there was I
19:21
didn’t even know anything about entrepreneurship business until my like early 20s there was no exposure to that
19:28
it was a world of my parents were both in the public sector and even
19:33
implicitly I learned that you know making money is is greedy or rich people are selfish or money is evil even uh and
19:42
also we just didn’t have that much money and there was that atmosphere in the home and so beginning to reflect on the
19:50
atmosphere you had in your home growing up is is a great entry point but yeah I
19:56
mean I I work with many many of my my clients we we’ll work on usually three to five patterns over the course of our
20:02
sessions together but oftentimes one of those patterns is money blocks um
20:08
there’s many people I’ve worked with that they’re making tons of money even but they still have insecurities about money they still have fear about the
20:15
future so yeah getting conscious and just inviting awareness to beliefs like
20:23
I don’t have enough money like I’ll invite people to listening right now just if you just sit on that belief does it
20:32
resonate in your body I don’t have enough money if it feels if there’s a weight
20:38
there that means the part of you has a belief that’s filtering your reality um
20:44
if it sounds empty it sounds ridiculous like 2 plus 2 equals 5 that means the belief’s not there but that’s kind of
20:51
the sense test I’ll help people recognize is let’s just say this belief what’s Your Gut check about it another
20:58
common one is making money as hard you know when you actually think
21:05
about it and this is this is the dialogue I’ll have sometime with people in their parts their parts of their subconscious
21:12
mind it’s like making money is hard is there any actual proof of that in terms
21:20
of our sense data excuse me so yeah I
21:25
mean and I break this down more in in in the guide that I have um it’s actually
21:32
atth human liberation. I created this guide that that talks more about the specifics
21:37
about this uh people want to kind of get really into it but basically
21:44
it’s recognizing that in these events growing up you you you saw your parents struggling with with the bills well it’s
21:53
recognizing that you didn’t actually see the belief I don’t have enough money you just
22:00
saw things objects people you saw things with your eyes you saw your your mom or
22:06
dad having a certain facial expression you saw this bill and then maybe you felt feelings in your body you felt this
22:14
tension or this insecurity okay you had sense data coming in you’re experiencing
22:21
but the actual story I don’t have enough money is not one of the pieces of sense
22:26
data we just create meaning that’s what we do and it’s totally understandable as a kid
22:32
especially we are trying to understand our environments we’re trying to stay
22:38
safe we’re trying to stay connected we’re trying to fit in we’re trying to maintain attachment to our parents all
22:44
the different like reasons that are so we make meaning we’re meaning making machines as
22:50
humans so the the thing is we we are unconsciously making meaning when we’re
22:56
having some of these challenges ing events growing up and so when you actually recognize
23:04
that the the stories aren’t in objective reality it’s something you created in
23:09
your mind and we can be free of it forever yeah and the clients I’ve worked with is just like enormous shift
23:17
over like not even usually I work with people for 12 weeks um sometimes I’ll work with people
23:24
I had a client who his money blocks were he he rated as a 10 10 out of 10 on week
23:30
one and by week eight he was Zero he was like yeah I’m good like I I still blows
23:35
my mind even sharing that like I know it might sound like I’m trying to Hype it up or something but I’m just sharing the
23:41
real like we just keep shaving down beliefs and then is totally different
23:46
totally different yeah oh my gosh that’s so good and and I love everything you’re saying because it it’s very aligned with
23:54
the teaching that has changed my life and the work I do now my own life and with with clients too and I want to just
24:00
come back to something and make sure that I’m hearing this the way that you’re you’re meaning it too so for
24:06
everyone listening the way what I’m hearing you say is how do we know if we
24:11
have a limiting belief how do we know if we have a subconscious pattern that’s holding us back right we we check in with our body and if it feels you use
24:18
the word I think heavy like it’s weighing you down that’s an instant awareness that this is I’m thinking this
24:25
is the way I think like I’m thinking something that’s not actually true for me in this moment or that doesn’t have
24:30
to be my highest and best truth it’s it’s in conflict with what I think like my best or highest self knows and think
24:36
so that’s the trigger is that feeling state in the body is that and you’re giving different language to it which I
24:41
appreciate so is that am I hearing that right is there anything you would add on to that from what I said yeah I love
24:48
integrating the the body and the mind it’s like let’s just start with the present moment what is the experience you’re having now that that feeling in
24:56
the body that guarden this that you know maybe you’re for me I had fear about
25:02
sales specifically and being on a sales call and and being
25:09
in that moment where you’re making the pitch you’re saying okay would you like to become my client would you like to do this partnership
25:16
whatever and feeling that like little twinge of anxiety right and then that’s
25:21
the clue that’s the clue okay what do I have to believe in order for this anxiety to be occurring what is intern
25:28
the actual cause because the the the the experience the the sales call is just
25:34
the it’s just the external circumstance it’s not the cause the cause of your
25:39
anxiety is from is from deeper is from your past yeah so I had a belief again I
25:45
that I just have sort of absorbed through osmosis in this culture and in my family as well that sales is
25:53
dishonest this is a big one I think because we don’t hear about sales in
25:59
school it’s just that imply that sales is sleazy or whatever it is could be
26:06
sales is sleazy sales is manipulative sales is dishonest sales is
26:11
greedy so there’s a lot of that there’s a lot of that in our culture and so again we might consciously know people
26:18
listening you’re experienced in in entrepreneurship or sales and you you know sales is about being authentic and
26:24
being honest and if you actually want to have results you need to build that but the question is is there any part of you
26:31
that’s holding on to something from the past because you absorbed it yeah through the culture so that was a big
26:37
one for me the sales is dishonest that’s huge that’s I would
26:43
imagine everyone listening has heard that I mean what’s the most common analogy I use car sales but like no
26:48
disrespect to anyone who’s listening who sells cars right but that’s it’s just that conditioning and then um I I know
26:55
so many of our listeners can relate and you go into we got a lot of listeners who are entrepreneurs or sales professionals you go into it because any
27:03
number of reasons you you usually you want to help people you like what you’re selling and you like the idea of the
27:08
abundance right and the opportunity for freedom and and all of that and and so it’s a beautiful way to live and yet if
27:15
we’re held down by that belief or that you you talked about perception right it’s like this Veil that’s kind of
27:22
clouding our perception when we’re on the sales calls it’s it’s kind of like you’re you’ve got this ankle we you’re
27:27
just like dragging along right and you’re always moving slower than you could that’s that’s how I um that’s
27:33
sometimes how I think about it speak a little bit more Joel like I’d love to go a little bit deeper into the the hustle
27:40
culture and the conditioning that to be successful we need to be working
27:46
247 um and this is I I man I remember when I was coming up in sales I I
27:53
followed a sales leader who talked about like if you have any white space on your calendar it’s the devil and and so I got
28:00
into this cycle where I would get up at 2:00 in the morning I’d go to bed at like 11 I was burning the candle at both
28:07
ends I was working all the time and that was actually the season of my life where no matter what I did I couldn’t break
28:13
past the low six figure Mark so I was working so hard all the time feeling
28:19
like it was just like moving through quicksand but there was this like this weight and this this should of you
28:25
should be working or else you’re not being productive you’re going to fall behind there’s the competition is going
28:31
to get your de and this is this is pervasive in the business culture so you spoke a little bit to this before but
28:37
I’d love to just go deeper into this if someone is realizing that yeah I’ve got this condition like I feel like I need
28:42
to be working all the time and I feel guilty if I take a break or I like feel guilty if I go outside and feel the sun
28:48
on my face during the day or we’ve got moms and and dad’s listening if I stop and play with my babies how do we start
28:55
to dismantle this and and get passes and what’s what’s your take on this approach to work yeah this is one of my favorite
29:03
topics uh because I’m a big fan of what I call high performance
29:09
loafing uh there’s a great performance loafing yeah okay there there’s an
29:14
author named Daniel coil who wrote the book The Talent Code and he he talks about how skill is
29:23
grown and he went around the world studying High performers such as Elite tennis players
29:31
and soccer players and musicians and he was trying to figure out how to these places build Talent anyway he had a blog
29:39
post some 10 years ago talking about the importance of rest in all his research um the the the top
29:49
performers in any area of life actually work very
29:55
focused for a finite number of of hours and then they’re resting and they’re getting tons of downtime I mean
30:01
historically someone like Charles Darwin was like working I don’t know he would work 9 to 12 in the morning and then he
30:10
was he was playing back gamon with his family he was taking long walks he’s taking a naps like in this restoration
30:17
time is essential for having for your brain to be let’s take sleep and napping
30:25
this is a huge opportunity for your brain to process information and to have insights and have to be refreshed and to
30:31
be restoring and taking long walks with no technology having you know great
30:38
ideas and from these long walks and and refreshing your mind and getting the endorphins and and we know these things
30:44
like people listening to podcasts like we’re hearing about the self-help and make sure you take time for yourself and self-care and all that stuff but then we
30:51
have these subconscious beliefs because we’ve been conditioned we’re just a product of our conditioning and like
30:58
I’ll just zoom out for a second like I just want to invite compassion right now for everybody like we’re growing up in this
31:07
when it comes to work specifically this work hard for this for the sake of working hard this like puritanical like
31:13
it’s baked into us and like just just forgive yourself first at a metal level
31:21
for this this wheel that you’re on because it’s very hard I’ve done a lot of belief work on myself
31:28
with this and there’s still beliefs that I haven’t found yet I think because there’s so many different ways that we
31:34
we are so many different spellings if you will different beliefs about work ethic um that we want to uncover but
31:42
like what makes me Worthy is working hard the way to be successful is to work
31:47
hard um making money is hard I’m not doing enough I should be doing
31:53
more this stuff we it gets instilled in installed into us through through this
32:00
culture and so that first step is to just invite some self-acceptance I think
32:06
for that wheel that this sort of cycle that we inherited from our parents they inherited from their parents and like
32:12
but we we actually know that what matters for creating value and creating results is just that creating value and
32:19
creating results it’s not about how much your body is straining itself like is there isn’t there a distinction between
32:26
doing valuable work being productive and straining your body like
32:34
is it really necessary to have this physiological experience of
32:41
distress in order to create value in the
32:46
marketplace that’s sort of like a high level rhetorical question for people and
32:52
then when we actually investigate you know at this level of spef specificity
32:57
we again we connected these subconscious parts and see what beliefs they have but yeah I’m I’m I’m pretty passionate about
33:02
this one because I want people to enjoy life and have that time that
33:09
downtime and and take care of ourselves but I also don’t want to people often will try to swing the
33:16
pendulum the other way and and focus on self-care and then not do the the the hard work hard
33:25
work meaning like concrete work tangible um results producing work um
33:33
which is also a form of self-care like doing the thing that you want to do that’s going to move your
33:39
business forward the most and create the flourishing life you want is a form of
33:45
self-care so yeah I could Riff on that for a long time but oh my gosh yeah man
33:50
it’s funny it’s like even as you talk I had a visceral physical reaction and likeing up in my eyes because I know
33:56
this conditioning is yeah so deep right it’s so deep and I I see this even with
34:03
we’ve got a three and a halfy old and even over the past couple of weeks he
34:08
started to bring home art from school and say look I worked so hard on
34:14
this do he’ll he’ll um be playing with a toy and he’s like he made me a necklace
34:20
the other day was so sweet and he’s like look Mommy I worked so hard on this and it’s been interesting
34:28
yeah I feel like emotionally even talking about it because I I I don’t think we we’re pretty conscious in our
34:34
household about our we’re very conscious and our household about our language I don’t think we’re really talking a lot about working hard necessarily in the
34:41
old way because that’s it’s just something that both my my partner and I are conscious to now um in our lives but
34:49
you know maybe he heard it from us if we like said something off-handed or maybe he heard it from school but uh and to
34:55
your point there’s nothing wrong with with working hard when it’s in the energy of to me creation like what am I
35:00
creating I want to bring forth and that’s but I don’t know to me it doesn’t feel like hard work it feels like Joy it
35:06
feels like fun it feels exciting um but just to see him start to say that like man this is interesting
35:13
how early this shows up and all of us had it so yeah it’s it’s it’s wild and
35:20
it’s it’s a game Cher let me let me ask you this Joel and I know you put together um you put
35:26
together a great guide for our listeners which I appreciate so we’ll we’ll have you share that again at the end but is
35:31
there anything that I haven’t asked you that I love this topic is there anything I haven’t asked you that you think is
35:37
important for our listeners to know or is is part of um your approach to
35:44
freedom and I love I I love what you do here I love the focus so is there anything that they should know or that I haven’t asked you that you want me to
35:49
ask you what comes to mind is just
35:55
emphasizing that this approach that I that I guide people
36:00
with it actually permanently eliminates the subconscious
36:05
limiting belief in 99% of the time
36:11
plus it takes about 20 minutes sometimes it takes shorter and when we actually have this
36:18
dialogue with the part of you that believes the thing then the belief’s just gone like
36:24
Santa Claus isn’t real anymore and you might have meta beliefs like
36:31
hearing that that that’s not possible and I invite awareness about
36:38
any beliefs about change that change can’t be fast change has to be hard I usually start with clients the first
36:44
session we we start with change blocks if there’s any blocks that nothing I do
36:51
Works uh it’s not going to work or I can’t change then we Free People of that and
37:00
then there’s all this excitement oh I see that those beliefs just evaporated now what now what else can I
37:07
let go of so and again just Tak the Santa Claus
37:12
example uh almost everybody growing up we just have the story going the Santa
37:19
Claus is real and it’s like a whole thing it’s a big deal and we believe it
37:24
and then when we actually realize it’s not true true it evaporates it’s not like a year later the next Christmas
37:31
time you’re re-evaluating your stance on stup it’s just gone forever so yeah I just want to emphasize
37:40
that it’s that it’s not what I’m doing is it’s just guiding people to to
37:46
unlearn to eliminate to let go to declutter whatever word you want to use
37:52
and it’s pretty simple we don’t need to we don’t need to like have these okay now I’m going to have this whole
37:58
plan for what I’m going to do um to change my life and muscle through this
38:04
comfort zone issue and make these changes in my life and here’s my new routines that I’m going to set up in
38:10
order to transform and here I just work with people we just people just show up
38:15
for an hour and we clear several beliefs each session and their whole life’s
38:21
different and then they come back the next week and it’s just everything gets better automatically
38:27
because the beliefs are gone so again I I mean I’m trying to come across as
38:34
genuine as possible with this because I know I understand that there could be skepticism about that and I was
38:40
skeptical the first time and like by all means like I’m a huge proponent of critical thinking and think for
38:47
yourself um but like it’s just my experience like it my whole life’s changed the past three years since
38:53
learning this and it’s like my like my deeper purpose is to share this with as
38:59
many people on the planet as possible and like de like help people decondition
39:05
um this is this is about this is about more than business for me this is like how do we how do we really really heal
39:11
the planet type stuff so yeah I’m with you no I’m so with you I
39:17
the thing I I say about our brand and our podcast even is like sales as the Trojan Horse because I think that what
39:24
what happens when you learn these Concepts and go deeper is like your whole life transforms and opens up and I
39:31
I I believe you about it can happen quickly because that’s the power of emotional impact it can happen just like
39:36
that if we’re open so um and I’ve had that experience myself this is this is
39:41
amazing thank you so much I know our listeners my listeners love this type of
39:48
conversation and I think you’ve added a new and a fresh perspective that we’ve never talked about before on the show
39:55
when it comes to this so so thank you so much um share a little bit more I know you put together a great guide which I
40:01
so appreciate um for our listeners so you want to share a little bit more about that and how people can connect
40:06
with you yeah absolutely this has been an energizing conversation and I just really appreciate what you’re doing
40:13
and the the guide is at thehuman liberation. El and the guide is called
40:21
get to the root the keys to permanently end negative selft talk
40:27
and yeah that guide is it expounds upon what I’ve said today in terms of
40:33
understanding how our subconscious stories play out in our adult lives and
40:39
and recognizing that we made meaning in childhood events and so one of the one of the cool things about the guide is I
40:46
I tuck in these little vignettes about my own childhood and I share specific
40:51
scenes specific memories that are attached to specific limiting beliefs that I used to
40:57
have and hopefully that can be you know um instructive or valuable for
41:05
people to just see that I you know I’ve gone through this and and I’ve had I’ve had uh less than
41:13
ideal childhood and and things like that and so much has changed for me so yeah
41:19
you can download that guide and then also like once you download the guide uh you’ll also have the chance to to book a
41:25
session with me and I’m I’m just being as abundant as possible as I build this business and the way I’m doing it at
41:32
least for now is that I’m just giving people a gift session where I’m
41:38
gonna I I’ll give you we’ll kind of do an inventory of what beliefs are causing
41:43
patterns in your life and then we’ll actually do this process we I’ll clear one belief for you so that’s totally a gift for you um so you so once you go to

42:29
visualization affirmation conscious abundance creating Law of Attraction type stuff combined with letting go of
42:37
the negative stuff is just an absolute superpower like I love I love doing the the visualization I’m like I’m I’m I’m
42:45
I’ve read several of these live attraction books and like I love teaming that up with with the belief work and so
42:51

entrepreneur and she did it the feminine way now regardless of your gender as you’re listening when I say the feminine
0:56
way what I mean is that it was not about about hustling or efforting or
1:02
struggling her way there it was about allowing receiving
1:10
expansion um abundance and I know that if you’re a listener of this show that
1:16
you want all of those things for yourself and that you are Desiring them I’m guessing at a greater and greater

3:13
in one more time I love that right you can play that as your morning
3:18
PumpUp but it’s you and it’s true and you did all of it and we want to know how oh my God tell us tell us your story
3:27
tell us how like how did how did you go from from te mom in Haiti to where you
3:32
are today yes um so I came here from Haiti when I was 16 pregnant and my
3:40
mother sent me here to have the baby because it was such shame and guilt and
3:46
you know I went to an all girl Catholic school and you you get that already and
3:52
I felt so horrible they kept it a secret no one knew I was pregnant so right
3:58
there you know I’m caring this guilt this shame I’m hiding right so I come to
4:05
the US I speak no English I give birth to my son
4:10
and of course he now has autism and epilepsy so I have to deal with all of
4:16
that on top of it I don’t understand what’s happening with him I don’t understand the diagnosis because I don’t
4:22
speak English so I am learning by watching TV uh a little side note All My
4:28
Children so I and throw back fun fact all my
4:36
children thank you and um and then I got on welfare because I needed support I
4:43
was 16 years old and um and and I always say I’m so grateful for the for for
4:50
welfare the welfare system here because there are people like me we truly needed that right so I was so beyond grateful I
4:58
felt so blessed I’m like oh my God this country is amazing they give help they
5:04
give help to people who need it and here lies my gratitude for the United States
5:09
of America I love this country so so much um because there’s so much to look at um you know that on the good side
5:17
right so um then what did I do Dan I went to adult school because I couldn’t
5:24
go to school in the daytime since I was a teenager with a mom I was watching my son in the daytime so I went to adult
5:31
school at night and got my GED and uh and then from there I got my
5:38
first job I believe when I was 19 so I went to the welfare office and told my
5:45
um my casew worker if you will that today is the day I I no longer need the
5:51
welfare I am standing on my own I got my first job she was so excited she cried
5:56
we both cried and um and I was just so proud and I remember my first job I was making
6:04
$113,000 a year and I was so excited I’m like oh my God I just I’m so happy I’m
6:11
making more than a thousand dollars a month and yeah I could barely survive on
6:17
it by the way but I was so grateful and
6:22
the life started to change you know I started to feel a little bit more confident because now I could take care
6:30
of myself right on my own and then of course I went to sleeping in the car
6:36
because I got evicted from where I was living because I could not afford the rent remember $113,000 a year I was
6:43
trying to make and meet and um you know and you know and I always had this sense
6:50
of dignity through it all like I carry myself well you would never know that I
6:55
was struggling financially because on the outside I look so well put together
7:00
which I think it’s one of the thing that helped me too because my energy was always one of I want to radiate what’s
7:08
inside of me because inside I really do feel radiant it’s just my
7:14
senses are not changing yet but I know that they will right yes how do I want
7:19
to pause you just really quick on that because I think that is something that regardless of where somebody is in their
7:26
life Mar CLA if they’re not where they want to be yet knowing how to radiate
7:32
that confidence that energy like even for you while you were sleeping in your car was that something did you just know
7:38
how or had you been taught my parents like how did how did you do that even when you’re in this what most people
7:44
would say is incredibly tough situation totally I attribute that to my faith um
7:51
and my mother it’s a gift from my mom I grew up my mom was always a Praying Woman she would pray I grew up Catholic
7:58
they were doing no we went to church every Sunday my mom always whenever something was going wrong or going right
8:05
my mother would pray so I was like oh okay so it was ingrained in me so
8:11
sleeping in the car very tough by the way tears depression and I always said
8:17
why why me why am I going through this right so and then when you look back when I look back
8:25
and see that wow I don’t know where I got the strength from but can tell you it’s from my Fai from my faith I always
8:33
rely on prayer till this day I am prayer is my number one source of strength and
8:39
guidance it still is and um and my mother always said that it’s like you
8:45
know it’s like you have to carry yourself well like my mom always instilled that in me she said no matter
8:51
what wear the lipstick wear the high heels I started to wear heels at 14 oh
8:56
my goodness I love but was it’s a gift that she gave me people used to be like
9:02
God you’re just so tough on her and whatever but she was preparing me for the world so when I show up in the room
9:08
I radiate I’m not afraid to shine I’m not afraid of my beauty I I welcome it I
9:16
know that I’m beautiful no matter what society says like I am my own standard of beauty so it’s something that comes
9:23
from my mom it really is a gift that she gave me and I believed it and I really do I did believe it and it’s working
9:31
well for me right so caring myself um the way I feel inside just showing up as
9:37
that so um yeah so that was part of the journey too and then eventually I ended
9:43
up in Corporate America and I was in human resources and thought that I was
9:50
just gonna throw parties I’m like human resources that’s what I want to do it’s just a big party
9:57
it’s a big party uh because people would see me as like you’re the atal manager I’m like yes and
10:04
they’re like you just don’t look like an atal manager I’m like I know I know
10:09
because I was just too happy I was too happy red lipstick bold like who does
10:15
that where’s your turtleneck right where’s your turtleneck no shame the
10:21
managers okay no sh but I was you know the one I was just very vibrant and then
10:28
I realized oh my God you do fire people in Human Resources uh oh that’s not what
10:34
I want to do right so throughout my career in Human Resources my son just
10:42
got worse like his epilepsy he liter he probably would have a seizur TW 12
10:47
seizures a month oh and that was unbearable I I got tired of calling in
10:53
sick right so because in Corporate America as you know you get sick sick
10:59
days a year in in in the US um I would run through that like water literally
11:06
like January boom it’s gone and the fear of one day I’m going to crawl in sick
11:15
and I’m just gonna get fired like they’re gonna tell me not to come back I I carried that fear with me and then at
11:22
the same time too my soul started to say what’s next
11:28
what’s next what’s next and I didn’t know what was next I’m like what is next
11:33
what what is that calling and I would drive to work I remember being in the
11:39
car um thinking God I just don’t want to do this anymore but what am I meant to
11:44
do and it was one morning it was one of Dominic’s doctor’s appointment and his
11:50
doctor was in Beverly Hills and I remember it was it was lunchtime maybe
11:56
121 and he had to get get an EEG and all that so it’s probably two or three by
12:02
then and I’m walking to my car and all these women just eating having lunch
12:07
just ease just ease and Grace is just flowing through them I can feel it iten
12:16
how come you’re not rushing back to the office so I’m like oh my God ladies you
12:21
look so beautiful what do you do oh we own our own business and I said oh
12:26
walking to the car I said I have to own my own business that’s
12:32
what it is wow I need to just I need to feel the way these women felt like I
12:40
could see it being demonstrated in front of me so now what is it that I’m going
12:46
to do right so this is this is the the question that came all what is it that
12:52
I’m meant to do what it is that I meant to do so I was Al always interested in Beauty I was the girl you would find at
12:59
Sephora all the time I was buying everything cream moisturizers I also use
13:06
I still I am I’m acne prone here’s one I’m not lying I’m acne prone and I was always
13:15
breaking out and could not figure out why am I breaking out breaking out so
13:20
often right so I would buy things return them buy more things still breaking out
13:27
love lipstick love um doing my makeup and I said oh you know what I’m going to
13:33
just jump and do makeup so I’m going to side hustle so I started I took out a
13:40
little ad in um in Craigslist if you guys remember oh my gosh that’s a
13:46
throwback I love the throwback references today yes yes way back then
13:52
wow I took it I put a little ad makeup artist I do weddings and and whatnot
13:57
didn’t have any training but I’m like I can do this I can do this and was pretty
14:02
good at it right how did you get I want to pause you really quick how did you get because I think one of the things
14:07
that is most I’m just I love love love in your story is this confidence like so
14:13
many women that I work with think well I’ve got to get a license before I can do this or I’ve got to get another certification before I can start
14:19
promoting myself and sometimes you do like depending on what it is that you’re doing but oftentimes it’s a mask for
14:27
fear it’s a coverup for fear so how did what would you like for a woman who’s
14:32
who’s feeling like oh I just I feel scared to put myself out there I feel like maybe I need another certification
14:38
another license what would you say to her how can she borrow some of your confidence oh my God you just gotta say
14:43
yes and it’s sounds so easy but there’s some work that’s that
14:50
required right so like hiring a Coach reading self-improvement books doing
14:56
affirmation incantation and seeing yourself as the person that you see in
15:02
your head right it sounds so easy but it’s practice practice practice so I
15:08
always say so what’s the next step right what is the next step what is the next
15:13
step what is the next step so my first step was to take a little ad on craist
15:19
and I’m just you know I’m not doing something major I’m not saying I’m going to take out an ad on TV it’s Craiglist I
15:26
can do that right and and then also to the nagging feeling
15:32
I know women we feel this because we’re so intuitive you get that God but if I
15:37
don’t do this I’m just going to regret it it’s like yes you have like every day
15:43
it nags at you it just it’s here every day every day it’s like I can’t leave like that I don’t know about you I
15:50
cannot leave like that it’s like I have to do it right so when I was there that
15:55
girl there 12 years ago who took and add on Craigslist I just was so tired I was
16:03
tired of feeling unfulfilled in my line to five that’s what it was I was tired
16:10
and I knew my heart you know what always trust your heart yes my heart knew it
16:18
was going to be okay my head said oh my God you’re leaving your corporate job to
16:24
side hustle where I wasn’t leaving like you have Marie you have a good paycheck you have 41k oh my God stop it already
16:31
just be grateful and my heart is saying there is
16:37
more there is more there is more so and I couldn’t deny it I just could not deny
16:44
it I’m very I’m a curious person too I just have to see what’s on the other side of that right so
16:51
that I started to side hustle and I was getting clients I was charging back then
16:58
and I was charging like 125 for brides right but I worked so hard for that 125
17:07
I tell you I worked so hard because I had to go to their reception do their
17:12
touchup and um I was like okay this is not enough maybe I need to now just work
17:18
for MAC Cosmetics so I ended up working for MAC Cosmetics just to make the story
17:24
short okay that wasn’t that either because I got to meet quotas like I’m not very saly in my head I what is the
17:32
word here I don’t see numbers I just want to just feel fulfilled that’s innately that’s how I am so doesn’t
17:40
matter how much I make if it’s not fulfilling I’m not gonna stay right so
17:46
if I’m I’m like I gotta count how many lipsticks did I sell today it just took out the fun it just it just didn’t make
17:52
it fun anymore so quit Mac went back to corporate
17:58
America o turtleneck land I so much love I know we have a lot of corporate women
18:04
who listen too and I’ve been in corporate and so no because I was not making enough money
18:10
and I said I just gotta go back to Corporate America so how did you handle that did it feel like defeat at that
18:17
moment as hell yeah was I and I said well you know
18:23
what I’m just going to go back I have a plan until I figure out what it is that I need to be but I know that the money
18:31
will actually just settle my it will just bring in some more ease right
18:36
because I was looking for the E but this is not what I wanted today so to do so back to HR so back to HR got a SCU the
18:44
resume iando job in Beverly Hills um at a very fancy sports club like just
18:52
celebrities and oh my God I mean the membership is like 2,200 a mon can I
18:59
tell you like that’s a very it was very high Vibe I loved it there I loved the
19:05
vibe but still did not enjoy being a human resources manager
19:12
so one day I am at I’m at Sephora with
19:17
my cousin and a girlfriend and um they’re like you know Marie CLA you’re so good at skin care and you’re always
19:24
telling us you’re always reading ingredients and and stuff like that you think you know what you you could be
19:30
a great aesthetician in the light Bob just
19:36
went I said that’s what I meant to be doing that’s what yes skin care
19:43
aesthetician mind you my mother had told me that before and I never I was like no
19:49
I’m not gonna be an aesthetician she’s like oh my God because you’re doing makeup and you can teach people um how
19:56
to take care of their skin like no that’s not what I meant to do no I think it’s because it was coming
20:03
from my mother right often times right and we’ve got a hear something at the right time too yes you know yeah totally
20:10
and I think my soul was ready to hear it when I tell you two weeks later I was in
20:15
skin care school two weeks later and it was so easy went appli fill at the
20:21
paperwork paid the fees got on my monthly plan to play the student loan
20:27
and w I was in skin care school and I was so happy I was the best student in
20:36
the classroom okay my teacher knew she looked at she’s like something special
20:43
like I I couldn’t wait to get to to school every morning like I was so happy
20:50
I’m like I found my passion so from there life started to change I when I
20:57
got into skin care school I knew that I was going to work for myself because remember those ladies right that I saw
21:03
having L yes they own their own business so the whole time I’m like I’m gonna own my own business I’m gonna be my boss My
21:11
Own Boss so finish skin scare school and I started to open a studio in um where I
21:21
was living so I was renting a house in Glendale and it had a back house and I was like I I’m going to turn that into a
21:28
skincare Studio you have to apply for license and and and everything like the state has to um give your approval so I
21:35
took all the steps and when you’re meant to do something I really believe that
21:42
there is a lot of ease that comes with it because you’re meant to do it and
21:48
even when you’re faced with challenges you’re you’re so happy you’re
21:53
so in the moment they don’t even feel like challenges right like there are people people would have been like oh my
21:59
God they said no the first time I’m GNA quit because I have to make the hallway like it has to be this wide this length
22:06
and you gotta have water here and there I gotta hire a plumber some people would be like I’m gonna quit I don’t want to
22:12
do all that to me I was like oh it’s gonna be perfect right because I was just so happy I felt so at home so those
22:20
challenges just felt like okay I’m just their stepping stone what else am I meant to do so open my first Studio no
22:27
one came for how long for how long the first
22:33
month I fell I think I made $20 and it was from my friend oh my god
22:41
of course to can add on Craig remember Facebook back then was not a thing we didn’t have ads we didn’t have in
22:49
Instagram was not even a thing when I started yeah and I said well I have to
22:55
supplement this income so I I went to work for a dermatologist and best thing I’ve ever
23:02
done because it you know the universe is kind I got what I needed working for
23:09
this dermatologist who was also a plastic surgeon he only worked with um
23:15
acne patients yeah and I took classes at UCLA
23:22
about ingredients and how they affect the skin I learned so much from him I became a medical aesthetician that would
23:29
have never happened had I not you know if I was just successful on the Geto or
23:36
you know that I was booked the universe was guiding me there and so I I want to
23:41
pause you really quick on that Mar Clair because how did you stay committed to
23:47
your vision in that moment because some people would take that as a sign like oh it’s just not meant to be or this is too
23:53
hard how but how did you no doubt you probably dealt with feelings of
23:59
disappointment and maybe fear you know all of that but how did you know to stay
24:04
committed to the vision and to just pivot rather than throwing in the
24:11
towel this is where you know you’re gonna hear me say that a lot I really
24:16
follow my heart I really I am I don’t function from a here I do sometimes
24:22
usually what gets us in trouble right when I have to look at my p&l and de
24:28
centers now because I’m running a seven figure business but there’s always balance there
24:35
so again my faith big thing here this is this is my story this is how I got
24:42
through it right so I started right around that time I started to discover
24:48
authors like Wayne Dyer um Wayne Dyer Lis hay Esther Hicks
24:56
Michael Becket Michael Singer like all these all my favorites yeah oh my God and um I read
25:05
the book The Power of intentions and it changed my life and from reading that
25:11
book it’s by Wayne diai um by the way I met him person like that’s a fun Side
25:17
Story I manifested that but I just knew that I was just going to
25:25
follow where my heart was leading me it’s very hard to do when you listen to society that says
25:35
You must do this you must do that you must follow your head you must be practical and all of that it’s
25:44
hard to do but I promise you it’s like you’ve been doing that for so long and it’s not
25:49
working why not give yeah why not try it this way right so end up working working
25:58
for this dermatologist plastic surgeon became a medical
26:04
esthetician of course my confident grew with that because now I have more
26:10
practice under my belt and I said I’m going to Pivot and I’m gonna focus on
26:17
only seeing customers who have acne in the meantime I’m working on at home on
26:23
the weekend uh they don’t even know that like I don’t tell them like I have a side Hustle but I’m putting into
26:29
practice everything that I’m learning right so from there um when at that time
26:35
then this is where the story comes and I I met my first coach Gina De Gina we
26:43
gotta give a shout out gotta give a shout out is how we met yes because she
26:48
changed my life she was one of the women that really changed my life and I think
26:54
I was ready right so when di Louis say then I hear this woman talking about your worth
26:59
and I’m like I gotta go I gotta learn more about this woman she was on a call
27:05
and talking about living in a feminine way I’m like oh this is this this is my tribe right I’m like yes tell me more so
27:13
went to an event she was doing in Santa Monica and I was able to be in the
27:18
hotset if you will where she was she did like a laser session on my business and I remember telling her oh I’m charging
27:24
$45 and she screamed she’s like what are you insane look at you everyone please
27:30
look at Marie CLA she charges $45 for a treatment then you got a scalp massage
27:35
put oh my goodness and she made me look
27:41
at my worth and she’s like you’re worth so much more why AR you aren’t you charging
27:48
your worth and I said but who’s gonna pay that much for a facial she said you
27:54
are a medical aesthetician what your bringing to table if you believe you work Charing more
28:00
than you should right and I started to work on that I’m like so little by little I started to increase my prices
28:07
and then I moved the office to Beverly Hills um and I mean it’s such a long
28:13
story I want to cut it short but moved to Beverly Hills and then I decided that
28:20
when I switched to nishing and only seeing people with acne
28:26
my business exploded like I could my book I was booked all the time I was
28:34
booked all the time because I was known as now I’m now the acne expert so people
28:41
came to me just for acne I didn’t wax I didn’t do lash painting I didn’t do any
28:46
which I did not enjoy doing by the way so stick to what you enjoy doing and
28:52
because in the beginning I would offer everything I would work my tail to the Bone I’m like I got a wax I got to do
28:57
this I got to do that but I my love really I had I had a love for acne because I was in acne suffer as well so
29:06
booked and then I realized one day and I didn’t realize it came to me you should
29:11
have your own skincare line what I’m like you gotta be kidding me
29:18
how where with what money how do you do that yeah no kidding and I started to
29:25
look at the ingredients of the skincare I was selling other brands to my
29:31
customers right so you you know like when you go to a spot they like oh you need this Moisturizer in this sunscreen
29:37
that’s what I was doing and um and then I would look at the list of ingredients from what I I was like oh my God I’m
29:43
selling them the wrong products how how do I start and that was a two years
29:50
journey and found a manufacturer and let me tell you little
29:57
by by little I started with three products and now I have 42 products and
30:03
you know sales are at 167,000 and let me tell you when I say
30:11
this I keep pinching myself because this is the girl who you know was on welfare lived on
30:19
cabbage and rice for a long long time and who now just living with ease and
30:26
Grace in prosperity and I am just I’m so fulfilled I feel so blessed I have a
30:34
great husband my son is doing great I take care of him financially 100% and
30:41
I’m able to give back to him now in fact one of my biggest
30:48
accomplishments I always get a little emotional when
30:55
that when when I started the business I’m crying too I don’t even
31:01
know what it is and I’m crying too I Dominique was is epileptic and I had to
31:07
put him in a group home because I couldn’t take care of him 247 because he
31:12
needs 24hour care so I put him in a group home and I felt horrible but I had
31:19
to do that in order to build a business and I said one day I’m just going to
31:25
take him back and and it took me seven years you know
31:31
and he started to put on weight and he had high blood pressure like he put on
31:37
60 pounds and the doctors wanted to put him on more meds and I remember last year I saw I saw him and I
31:45
said this is it I’m taking my son back and that was on a
31:50
Thursday by the next Tuesday I was signing list a list for his own two-bedroom two bath in Beverly Hills
31:58
and I hired full-time care for him so I’m just so grateful to be able to give
32:04
back to Dominic because we’ve been through so much together and when I tell
32:10
you Le like he lost 60 pounds in three months because he’s eating well um he’s eating
32:18
organic and he exercises with my husband and he is
32:25
thriving and if I were leave Earth today this is I will leave very happy and
32:31
peaceful because I get to give back to Dominique because
32:37
Dominique is my big wife so oh my God I’m just so
32:45
grateful I forgot every other question I was gonna ask you because that just made me cry really hard too oh my gosh
32:54
wow wow from one from a new mom mama’s heart to um to another mama’s heart that
32:59
is I know every woman listening gets that wow totally one thing I want to ask
33:05
you and your I’ve just learned so much listening to your story I know everyone everyone listening has as
33:11
well and you and I were even talking about this in the pre-chat is
33:17
about on your journey from like six to seven figures and our listeners are all different places some are wanting to
33:22
break their first six figure some are wanting to scale to seven and Beyond but
33:27
you mentioned it was the more you allow the more you surrender the more you stay
33:33
in your feminine the more the money came and I’m really curious to hear about how
33:39
you did that even as you’re scaling and there’s more team and there’s more to pay attention to and there’s more to
33:44
manage like how how did you do that and how do you stay in that receptive mode
33:51
in the midst of everything bigger that you’re managing now there is and author Esther Hicks yes
34:00
and she is big on feeling good is work I’ve been listening to her for years and
34:07
she’s one of the authors that changed my life as well and living in the receptive mode is
34:16
what she talks about all the time and even Gina um who was my coach in she
34:23
always talk about doing business the feminine way and it’s some that I had to learn it’s already in you
34:30
but I had to like bring it forward forward and um and truly believe that I
34:37
deserve it and truly believe that I deserve it and truly believe that it
34:43
didn’t have to be hard I had to do a lot of deprogramming a lot of it gotta work
34:50
hard it’s gonna be tough sweat tears you got to make your goals and it’s gota it’s got to scare you to death and and
34:57
all of that you got and I work so hard I burn my adrenals yeah and um you know and then
35:06
learning to just say I remember when I got to six figures and I wanted to get
35:12
to Seven figures and I had a conversation with Gina and she
35:18
said are you ready to allow it are you ready
35:24
to let go of the fear around your son Dominique because I had so much fear
35:31
around Dominique like always worri about him and she said when you start to do to
35:37
do this and you start to allow more she said it’s GNA get easier and easier and
35:45
I just have these practices I wake up I read a gratitude um I have my gratitude
35:50
Journal I meditate and it’s a practice it’s not like one day boom it happens
35:57
it’s a practice um and then you know I learned from all the everyone I’m like
36:02
everybody’s successful is saying the same thing it must be true when you listen to all these do you need to
36:09
listen to one other podcast that the person is saying I have a gratitude practice I meditate in the morning I
36:16
find something that bring me joy I mean they’re doing the other things too you know like of course you got to look at
36:23
your p&l you got to come up with your marketing strategy but they’re telling you oh I’m living gratitude so I started
36:31
Co was such a blessing for me because I discover my love for nature
36:38
and I would go on these long long walks and I’m obsessed with trees and I would
36:44
look at the trees I would just feel so much peace I would thank God for my life so I just started to thank God for my
36:51
life I just kept doing that and do you know like my life changed drastically I
36:57
didn’t do anything different I didn’t change my Facebook ads I didn’t I didn’t do anything different I just started to
37:06
feel grateful yes by walking and then there are these um I do these thing
37:12
called this thing called incantation I learned that from Tony Robin so this is where it’s not affirmation this is like
37:20
embodying embodying the energy that you want to be so I wanted to be a seven
37:27
figure entrepreneur right so how does it feel to be a seven figure entrepreneur
37:33
it feels like ease it feels like fun it feels like Freedom it feels like choices choices choices lots of choices it feels
37:40
like traveling first class it feels like tipping well it feels like the
37:46
impression of increase so you know what I started to do I started to tip people I tip 25% everywhere I
37:54
go I leave everyone with the impression and bring peace I wherever I go I bring
38:00
joy abundance Prosperity I treat my friends well I TI the valley guy five
38:05

38:15
and more and the universe started to show me like when you open your hands it
38:21

38:28

41:16
my husband was very extremely extreme masculine like he’s a grinder
41:22
247 my husband one day said to me hm I want to know what you’re doing I want
41:28
to do what you’re doing so now my husband went from waking up at 5:00 A.M working out the day he doesn’t go to bed
41:35
until 12 oh he meditates he journals he plays golf he’s learning I’m like enjoy
41:44
life oh my God enjoy the process because it’s never done as soon as I reach I
41:51

42:06
to six figures than it is to get to Seven figures because you’re working so hard yeah oh my gosh you’re working so
42:14
hard and then the minute when I tell you I work less I work less because I have to team to support me and this is a
42:22
decision I made for myself I said my business is going to help me with my
42:29
lifestyle I want to have I want to call my day I want to call my own schedule and this is what I do I have self-care
42:35
Mondays where I don’t answer the phone it’s all about me I get massages I get my nails done and I go on my walks and I
42:44
hired a chef I haven’t cooked since last September and listen I struggled with
42:51
that when I first I was like but I don’t enjoy cooking I could spend this four
42:57
hours doing something else and I tell you it’s so good to have a
43:02
sh for me and we don’t have to think my husband even was like what’s the big deal we don’t need it now it’s like we
43:09
have a chef who comes every week and make these laish meals for us and every week we’re just getting something
43:15
different it’s like oh my God there’s so much more good on the other side when we say thank you when we’re not trying to
43:23
just hold on to it and be like let me save another dollar let me let me let me save $200 to do this rather than say my
43:32
