1:46
amazing coach and mentor for people that

want to write which is one of the things
1:50
and one of one of the reasons that I'm
1:52
so attracted and actually Laurie
1:54
resonates so well with me is because of
1:57
what she does and how she helps other
1:59
people and so we're going to be talking
2:01
a little bit about what she does I think
2:03
we even have another special guest that
2:04
we're going to bring in as well
2:06
and we're going to be talking about what
2:08
Lori does and what things are coming up
2:10
on the horizon so that maybe you can
2:13
even share in the look we have a couple
2:15
people that are on if you're here on
2:16

2:18

2:20

2:28

2:32
Lori back in the show Lori welcome back
2:36
hello hello I'm so happy to be here
2:39
we're delighted you're here too so what
2:42
is your definition of passion well I'm
2:46
gonna borrow from Oprah and that her
2:49
answer and it's my answer is that
2:51
passion is energy and you feel the power
2:54
that comes from focusing on what excites
2:57
you and what excites me that's helping
3:00
everyone but especially women rediscover
3:03
or discover the pattern
3:06
translating their opera ending or
3:09
creative projects and the question I
3:13
have for people is to think the word
3:14
passion has two syllables right right
3:17
two syllables I want you to break it
3:21
into the three syllables again I am a
3:22
writer so that if you break these
3:25
syllables to this pass on question then
3:29
is is what do I want to test life it's
3:34
an i it's about sharing ideas about how
3:41
we
3:45
is here hopefully this is going to
3:47
straighten out right now that I never
3:50
heard passion actually explained that
3:52
way I'm going to go ahead and we're
3:55
going to move on into the show right now
3:57
we're going to tell you I would like you
3:59
to tell me a little bit about your
4:00
journey
4:00
what's your journey how did you get to
4:02
where you are today oh my I think that
4:09
I'm a forever student teacher that
4:12
started as an elementary school teacher
4:15
in Selma Alabama bartenders because of
4:27
the digital age it's that teaching and
4:30
that learning what I am passionate about
4:32
which goes back which is about people
4:36
discovering their passions but
4:37
translating that authentic voice through
4:40
writing and creative projects and my
4:43
writing career goes back to when I was
4:45
seven years old and I really have a I
4:48
wrote something like two dozen people
4:51
every Saturday family and friends for
4:54
years and that's really where my writing
4:56
career began that's wonderful and so
4:59
let's fast-forward to today and what
5:02
you're doing today with the women as
5:04
visionaries and and the things that
5:06
you're doing and especially something
5:08
that's coming up in the future
5:11
yes well right now it's really exciting
5:14
that I'm birthing if you would 3d cream
5:18
up monthly right thing gathering and we
5:24
just love it here it at the historic
5:27
Peninsula in amazing writing region of
5:32
October and event they'll listen online
5:37
course is starting this fall so you can
5:40
see it's writing writing and more and
5:42
more writing so what would you say needs
5:45
to recharge their creativity and why is
5:48
it such a need I mean why do why do you
5:50
talk about stuff like that I think right
5:54
now if you just are aware of what's
5:56
going on in the world we just been
5:58
Steff full thunder moon it has a lot of
6:00
other names we've got a name he's your
6:03

6:06
not the last time it's the it's the last
6:11
time it'll happen for three hundred
6:12
years we also have something called
6:15
Mercury retrograde happening and then
6:17
we've got dog days of summer so nobody
6:20
knows anything about in astrology you're
6:24
feeling what a friend of mine Carey
6:26
Price called summer brain just don't
6:31
have energy but how do you get that
6:32
energy for these final months with your
6:35
business and your personal projects so
6:37
that you can finish the you can finish
6:40
strong for 2017 and have the energy to
6:43
plan for 2,000 so everyone is very busy
6:48
and today showing the jet stream some
6:52
cool ideas that you can align with these
6:55
energies and shift and not let the
6:57
swirling tsunami of busy I mean I heard
7:01
somebody say today oh I'm so busy and
7:04
I'm like who isn't busy I think we
7:06
should just have busy our foreheads I so
7:10
we're gonna ask our viewers so you know
7:12
what as this conversation is going on if
7:14
you're busy if you think you're busy
7:17
tell us what you're busy with and listen
7:19
to some of the suggestions that we're
7:21
gonna hear right now from Lori as to how
7:23
to better align right with August energy
7:26
tell us some ideas well I want everybody
7:31
to grab their paper and their pen
7:33
because we are gonna give you some cool
7:35
ideas and how you'll walk away with at
7:38
least one really cool idea that you can
7:40
implement tonight and then another one
7:42
tomorrow so I wanted to tell you a story
7:45
and that is is that this very
7:47
interesting I guess you can see it this
7:50
very interesting called life and light
7:52
flash light showed up yesterday yeah it
7:56
is
7:56
so what I discovered is is that that
7:59
became a metaphor for what I wanted to
8:02
share with people tonight to recharge
8:05
their creativity mm-hmm idea is just to
8:09
look around for the orange metaphor
8:11
those analogies that will recharge your
8:14
creativity and what a cool idea is them
8:20
that secures the characteristics of this
8:24
ordinate or this metaphor and I'm gonna
8:27
give you some examples
8:29
so the second cool idea after just using
8:34
ordinary metaphors that she didn't know
8:37
that this was going to happen and it was
8:39
just so cool is that some of the cool
8:43
features of this flashlight it's called
8:47
a seat belt cutter blade it's right here
8:51
so if you're in a car you can cut the
8:53
strap and it can release you so you
8:56
definitely want one of these in your car
8:57
or home Oh interesting
9:01
yeah the cool it yeah just goes right in
9:04
here I'm not gonna demonstrate them my
9:05
finger and my image mister folks is the
9:11
answer what's holding you back what seat
9:15
belt do you have strapped on that's got
9:17
you stuck and you know once you define
9:20
where where you're stuck or who's then
9:23
you can cut that seatbelt and you can
9:26
move on so what a cool cool feature very
9:30
cool cool idea number yeah well like
9:33
other cool idea is that here on the tip
9:38
of it there are four high-powered
9:41
magnets that you can then mount this to
9:44
the trunk of your car so my invitation
9:47
is for you the cool idea is to find four
9:51
friends five would be better that you
9:54
part of a creative mastermind an editing
9:59
team a full or just a creative brain
10:03
trust I'm finding that as I reach out
10:05
and I'm vulnerable and I say so what do
10:08
you think about I'm getting amazing
10:11
ideas so again fine
10:13
for that other cool idea and if anybody
10:16
has a mastermind group or a creative
10:20
group like that that would be great to
10:21
hear I think that the idea is awesome
10:25
yeah that's the fifth idea that this was
10:29
the magnet and now we're going to look
10:31
at I hope you can see it can you see it
10:36
you got to rave it a little higher okay
10:40
is that there is a there's a compass and
10:45
so my cool idea for recharging your
10:49
creativity is to stay true to your ideas
10:52
and your messages and your branding
10:55
shift do you think that the masses want
10:58
or you went on a call like this and you
11:00
change everything and I'm reminded Karen
11:03
of Stephen Covey who wrote the mega
11:06
bestseller seven Habits of Highly
11:08
Effective People what at my favorite
11:10
book talked about yeah he talks about
11:13
staying true to your North Star and so
11:16
why he says that is that changes its
11:20
position in the night sky so that is
11:23
your mood thing to your writing and your
11:26
creative projects and you've got your
11:28
stay true like the North Star and let
11:31
your inner compass of intuition those
11:34
whispers that come to you guide you if
11:37
you and then the final cool idea is that
11:41
this guy this I can see yet not yet
11:48
raise it a little higher there you go
11:50
okay I'm I'm not ready for cutie so what
11:57
is that exactly what what this is what
12:01
the crate there are three batteries in
12:03
this this is called a batter of a power
12:07
generated crank dynamo no adapter needed
12:12
so once you in here you can recharge
12:15
your battery so for me I live in Florida
12:18
I've got hurricanes and storms I don't
12:21
have to worry out worry about it and it
12:22
is something like 10,000 hours just on
12:26
the battery but I can wreak rank it is
12:32
for you to think about you've got this
12:34
these inner batteries they're always
12:37
there
12:38
and you can do what I just did which is
12:42
to reach your charge them and it will
12:48
call like this but what I love the
12:50
message about this this hand-crank
12:55
generator is for you to do this
12:58
so yes trust as you said your your inner
13:00
battery
13:01
oh don't sticks cool ideas that I hope
13:05
people they really thought wow this is a
13:08
cool idea
13:09
not to mention buying this battery
13:13
called again live and light something I
13:16
went ahead and bought two I bought one
13:19
I've got one in my bedroom and one in my
13:21
car I'm gonna go get one as soon as
13:23
we're done off the show I'm gonna go get
13:25
one that is way cool so Lori I'm gonna
13:29
ask our viewers to you know listen you
13:31
just gave us six really great ways and
13:35
ideas and tips on on what we can do if
13:37
we have I'm saying it's not the video is
13:43
not playing for will there be a replay
13:45
hmm Carol you might want to refresh your
13:47
screen because I appeared that we're

13:51
I'm not sure what that is so go ahead
13:53
and refresh your screen and if you're
13:55
listening right now or even on replay
13:57
how was which one of those ideas
13:59
resonate with you and put them in the
14:02

14:04
what the community is thinking right now
14:06

14:59

15:03
our writing it sounds inmate what can so
15:06
what can our creative listeners expect
15:09
if they come to this event what can they
15:11
expect I'm just a retreat and lots of
15:16
times okay Laurie you're cutting out
15:24
right now don't you were we are getting
15:27
some really bad interference right now
15:28
so I'm gonna ask you to refresh yourself
15:30
and I'm going to actually introduce one
15:33
of your special speakers that is going

15:38

15:40

15:44
you out and I'm gonna drink Karen in and
15:48
she's coming in right now
15:50
Karen true Han is a thetahealing and how
15:55
you doing Karen she's a same healing
15:57
instructor and we'll be doing a two hour
16:00
workshop up your creative soul learn to
16:03
ride the wave of possibilities with
16:06
thetahealing and you live also on the
16:08
east coast of Florida so I have a
16:09
question for you right off the bat what
16:11
the heck has stayed a healing well thank
16:14
you thank you for having me I'm excited
16:16
to be here and share in this forum
16:20
static healing is a killing meditative
16:24
technique that accesses a theta
16:27
brainwave so if as we're having our
16:31
daily thoughts in our brains that the
16:34
constant chatter is a beta brainwave
16:37
alpha is usually in yoga or Reiki energy
16:43
a meditative state theta brainwave is
16:48
normally in a deep sleep in your dream
16:50
state or in hypnosis and so what it what
16:58
attracted you to becoming a practitioner
17:02
in this particular kind of healing what
17:04
attract
17:04
you well with my background as a
17:07
registered nurse and then went into the
17:08
holistic do Reiki and other modalities
17:13
and meditation the thing about
17:14
thetahealing is they have first premises
17:19
to have an a belief in a higher source
17:22
so whether you call it Buddha universe
17:24
but for me the attraction was this has
17:27
to do with your limiting subconscious
17:30
beliefs so every experience that we've
17:34
had in our life and even when we were
17:37
before we were born and gestating is
17:40
held in our DNA so what are like one or
17:45
two key benefits that someone's going to
17:48
expect when they come to this particular
17:49
session that you're going to lead so for
17:54
the creative they may have some blocks
17:57
that why am I not writing why I do not
18:01
have time to put my thoughts down am i
18:04
too concerned about what other people
18:07
think about what I'm writing that able
18:10
to with data healing in that session we
18:15
can muscle test if you really believe I
18:19
can be successful in writing people want
18:23
to hear my voice or might read my words
18:25
I know for me personally when years ago
18:28
and I was recording a video I mean a
18:34
meditation that there was always a block
18:36
when it was time to record it and so in
18:40
thetahealing you go up to the creator
18:42
and ask what is that about for that
18:44
person what's that block that they have
18:46
and I had a belief that no one wanted to
18:49
hear my voice oh right and so there's a
18:55
way to show the writer the creative soul
18:59
muscle test them to see that they have
19:03
this belief because someone might say oh
19:05
I don't really have that right it's
19:07
really only 10% of what's going on with
19:10
us it's conscious 90% is subconscious
19:12
right but below below the surface yes so
19:16
yeah I actually
19:17
I asked or as a practitioner witness the
19:21
belief of no one wants to hear my voice
19:26
leaving my cells of my body and you have
19:29
to witness it however that is and then
19:31
have almost like a download that I know
19:34
that people want to hear my voice right
19:38
my voice so I feel what the writers
19:42
different people have different blocks
19:44
and that we can clear those you know and
19:48
have them feel you know in their entire
19:51
being and that's right you know that has
19:54
a writer
19:55
people you know they should trust their
19:57
inner intuition they're a true person
20:00
they're true authentic self so I'm
20:02
hoping to share that and inspire and
20:05
increase their creativity and be able to
20:08
do that successfully and also easily
20:11
sometimes people think that whether it's
20:15
writing that it has to be difficult and
20:17
hard it has to take a long time and
20:19
that's not really the truth right so I'm
20:23
just going to make the assumption that
20:24
if you're a writer or a blogger or an
20:28
author or a poet this might be
20:30
beneficial right yes
20:33
so how will that the poet and I'm sure
20:35
Laurie wants to chime in in this how how
20:37
does how do all of these things support
20:39
us as writers as creators how does how
20:43
does that help well I had a running
20:46
retreat in April wonderful state a
20:49
healer there and we've been on Monday
20:52
the very first day of the full day of
20:55
writing because I thought we need to do
20:57
this at the beginning and have people
20:59
get in touch with what's blocking them
21:02
in these these beliefs so that the rest
21:05
of the week that they've spent time and
21:06
they're gonna spend treasure and you
21:09
know they move more freely on the
21:11
two-hour session which Karen was at the
21:15
Gulfport writing retreat was just one of
21:18
the favorite parts of everybody for
21:21
whole week so I'm just thrilled to bring
21:25
someone of her level and caliber of 38
21:28
years blend
21:30
you know traditional and non all the
21:33
wonderful things we just do a whole show
21:35
but with with Karen and and to add that
21:40
conference that special kind of workshop
21:43
right was a guest expert she's an expert
21:46
at this it's just you know this just
21:49
didn't happen yesterday so I'm hoping
21:51
that just fries and recharges the
