A Sacred Journey to Living a Life You Love
This is an interview from AllAuthor book promotions. Enjoy!
How did your personal journey of growth and transformation influence your professional approach to supporting others to live a life they love?
The more compassionate I became with myself, the more I was able to heal my own sabotaging patterns. This allowed me to better assist my clients to release what binds them to their past using my Mind/Body Repatterning method.
What exactly is Mind/Body Repatterning?
Mind/Body Repatterning is designed to clear limiting beliefs, undermining behaviors, and negative emotions that prevent you from having what you want in life. Much of what holds you back emanates from the subconscious beliefs that resulted from unmet needs experienced in childhood incidents that now interfere with your ability to create the happiness, abundance, fulfillment, self-expression, love, relationships, and health that you desire.
Using resonance kinesiology (muscle checking), I assist clients in identifying subconscious unmet needs from childhood so that they can consciously address and shift the patterns. The shift allows them to effortlessly and naturally free themselves from something they have and don’t want in their life OR attract something they want and don’t have.
Your first book, What Would Love Do Right Now?, focuses on living an extraordinary life. What are some key principles or practices from the book that you find most transformative?
First, in order to live an extraordinary life, one must release shame, blame, guilt, anger, envy, frustration, resentment, and regret. I created a process called, Inquiry to Resolution™, that has the reader identify and resolve past unhealed pain, trauma, and grief in all areas of life, so they can then live an extraordinary life.
The second important principle is asking the question, “what would LOVE do right now?,” in the midst of an argument. “LOVE” would take a “time out” so any reactionary cruel words don’t hurt the other person’s feelings, giving the person triggered time to identify the cause of the upset. After this intentional pause they can take responsibility for their reaction and calmly share what triggered them.
The third principle is for the reader to take one or more positive actions to heal and release the trigger that binds them to their past, restoring their relationship to wholeness.
Three Magical Words for a Magical Life is your second book. Could you tell us more about these three words and their significance?
The three magical words are not, “I love you”, they are, “I am sorry.”
The book reveals a four-step process to release the pain of past experiences, clean the slate, and gain a greater capacity to enjoy more love and freedom in your relationships. Applying the process of forgiveness and amends to all areas of your life brings these three magical words to life. Watch the workplace productivity soar—feel friendships and intimate relationships deepen and expand.
It takes courage, empathy, and personal responsibility to offer a sincere apology. For most of us, protecting and defending our actions, with reasons and excuses, happens long before we consider saying, “I am sorry.” Through visualization, the reader receives the apology they’ve always wanted and makes amends to those whom they’ve harmed. The reader is then free to live a magical life.
Your latest book, No Weeping Widow Here–My True Story, shares your personal journey. What compelled you to share your story in this format, and what do you hope readers will take away from it?
The book is meant to inspire terminally ill people to say everything that needs to be said, so only love is present by the time they pass. After my late husband, Bernie, liberated his soul from his physical body, this is how I was able to move on so quickly. I had already done a lot of pre-grieving, so I wasn’t devastated, I was actually happy for him. I also sponsored a “Celebrate Life with Bernie” event before he passed so he could experience the positive difference he made in the lives of others.
This book started as a love story, and I had no idea it would end with another. With Bernie’s approval, I’m now engaged to his best friend, Robert. How’s that for a great ending!
Reflecting on your journey so far, what are some key lessons you’ve learned about resilience, growth, and living authentically?
Realizing that everything happens for a reason, I learned not to give up even in the face of hopelessness. I seek growth rather than resisting it. Believe me, it’s not always easy or comfortable, yet I find it is necessary for living an authentic life.
Can you share any upcoming projects or goals you’re excited about?
Yes, I am excited to continue writing my third book in the Extraordinary Outcomes Series called, Relationship—A Sacred Journey into Your Greatness. This book takes the principles and processes of my first two books and blends them together with how to speak our truth in a way others can hear us. The reader will embrace the opportunity to take responsibility—with no blame or fault—for their part in all their relationships. This vulnerability can be the opening needed for authentic communication, which is essential for the flourishing of every relationship. In this way, we become the greatest version of ourselves.
