00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:01.360
Midlife.
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.599
And get real about what it means to try it in our second act.
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.559
It's weird and do a test to walk in their own potential midlife public.
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.679
We're talking men of divorce, reinvention, and everything in between.
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:37.679
Hello and welcome back, everybody, to season two of Midlife Unplugged the Fuck It Is.
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:51.119
I'm your host, Lara Portelli, and I have with me today the lovely Christine Genovese from all the way from Florida, uh USA, but originally from New York City.
00:00:51.439 --> 00:01:00.880
And Christine has a little bit of an exciting and brief uh explanation from for us about her family lineage that some of you might know.
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:08.319
So uh without further ado, Christine, we've got lots to unpack with Christine today, uh, and I'm really excited to do that.
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:13.200
Uh um, but she has a really exciting family heritage too that we'd just like to touch on briefly.
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:14.799
So welcome, Christine.
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:16.159
Welcome to the show.
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.079
Uh and over to you.
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:19.680
Over to you uh to tell you.
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.760
Oh my gosh, you well, first of all, I love it.
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:29.120
Yes, I love it, because it's uh your last name reminds me of, you know, we could be related, you know.
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.640
We're very close anyway.
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:45.439
Um yes, I'm originally from New York City, and um I do come by the nickname the spiritual gangster, honestly, because my great great grandfather was uh Vito Genovese, as in the Vito Genovese, one of the head of the five crime families in New York City.
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.040
Now, I didn't actually meet him, I know, right?
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:58.879
Um, I was uh a year old when he passed away in prison, um, but he was the veto that you've seen um in all the uh you know mobsters inc movies, etc.
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:07.040
But um I remember my mom told me a story that she and her sister were at their great-grandmother Vita, his sister's funeral.
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.240
And uh he showed up with the fedora and the trench coats and the henchmen, and they were teenagers at the time.
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.400
So it's pretty wild when you think about it.
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:15.199
Wow.
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:16.800
Wow, how exciting.
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:18.319
Um, how exciting.
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.319
Just the history, the family history.
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:27.759
So did that form tell me then, Christine, did that form part of the name this obviously the spiritual gangster?
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.120
Is that your actual name of your business?
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:43.280
And did it did the family heritage have I know there is a I know there are other uh other uh situations in life that led you to uh um to where you are now?
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.120
And and what what I don't really like to call what we do a business.
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:53.680
I like to call it more a calling and a vocation and a heart calling or a soul spiritual calling.
00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:00.400
Did the family lineage have something to do with that as well as the um the life circumstances?
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.479
Well, I think it was probably me just wanting to bring a little light to the name.
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.120
Now I will tell you that when I'm in New York City, membership does have its privileges.
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.039
Um I've been able to leverage that last name at a couple of restaurants and get nice tables and have my pick of the room.
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.080
So, you know, it can come in handy if we hang out together.
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:28.319
Um, I had a book signing in New York City, um, and I had my, you know, I had a Times Square billboard, which was just, you know, an absolute amazing, you know, dream come true for me.
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:34.719
And uh I went to an Italian restaurant and I said, Look, I know I'm a little early, but could I, you know, could would you have a table?
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:35.759
And he said, Well, I don't know.
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:36.479
What's your name?
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.639
And and I said, Well, Christine Genovese.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.759
He goes, uh why yes, you can have a table right now.
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:45.199
So I called him right now.
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:46.719
Come on, see her right now.
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.439
So, you know, I'm gonna leverage that wherever possible.
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:56.639
But in terms of like me and doing this work, um, you know, it's just kind of fun to be known as the spiritual gangster, I think.
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.080
Um love it.
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:12.879
So for our audience back home uh that is listening to this all around the world, that is listening, that are listening to uh us two women from opposite ends of the world, Australia and America, listen to this lovely lady.
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:27.439
You know, she's using her lineage, she's using her power power, like you know, she's leveraging it, leveraging to the woman there that's washing the dishes, listening to this episode at the moment with baby in the background, thinking, oh, you know, is this all there is to life?
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:28.319
No, there's not.
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.360
Using your power, using what's available to you.
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:40.079
That billboard moment, and I can share that experience with Christine because last year I co-authored a best-selling international best-selling author, uh author book.
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.560
I I co-authored a best international best-selling book.
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:53.120
And a group of us went to New York

City and to see yourself up on that billboard in Times Square is something phenomenal.
00:04:53.360 --> 00:05:01.120
So if you're thinking out there to whoever's listening to this, man, woman, child, that uh look here I am doing this today that's mundane.
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:02.240
I don't know if this is ever fair.
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:03.120
It's possible.
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.199
Everything's possible for everybody.
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:23.199
So, Christine, to move on from that a little bit, I'm interested to hear uh some of the rest of your story about you were sitting in an oncology office and in during the pandemic that changed lives for a lot of people for lots of reasons.
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:37.279
But what really brought it home for me, what you you were talking about is something um you know horrific happened to you while you were sitting in an oncology office, which made my mind think, well, were you there getting bad news?
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.639
Were you already getting treatment?
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.600
And then to receive more bad news while you were sitting in that office.
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.000
And you told us that that was your fuck it moment.
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:45.439
Can you tell us a bit more about that?
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.319
Well, you know what, being from New York, we kind of have a lot of those fuck it moments, right?
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.000
That's probably one of our favorite words uh in the vocabulary.
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:55.279
In Australia.
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:56.639
Yeah, is it right?
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.399
Okay, so over here too.
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:04.639
So um, yeah, I was actually in an oncology office with my now husband, is how I call him.
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.959
Um, and oh yes.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.279
Have you ever heard that before?
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:12.240
Wasband?
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.480
So yes, it's a good one.
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.360
And um, you know, uh he was actually getting a biopsy on his prostate.
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:28.560
And I got the call from the head of HR letting me know that my services were no longer needed while I was in that office.
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.600
And I was in complete shock because I had been an overachiever my entire life, right?
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.000
I always met, exceeded expectations.
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:46.000
And in this, you know, corporate turnaround role, which I had been a corporate turnaround specialist, revenue and um, you know, turnarounds and operations, most of my career.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.560
And so I had just gotten a performance bonus.
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.120
So you want to talk about that being the shock of my life.
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.680
It was, you know, March 12th of 2020.
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.240
I'm in the office, I'm the breadwinner.
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:04.079
Um, I now know that my medical benefits may be going away, or I'm gonna have to figure out what to do with my husband.
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:10.160
And so I I sent a text to my boss, who is the COO, and I said, I just got fired.
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:11.199
He goes, Me too.
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:12.160
I'm like, what?
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:13.839
Oh yeah.
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:21.279
So um I believe it was WTF, is what we texted to each other, since I'm on the appropriate chair to say that.
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:21.600
Yeah.
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:22.959
And um, right?
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:24.560
What the actual fuck?
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:26.560
Yes, exactly.
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:34.399
So basically, what had happened was we were told we weren't allowed to hire anyone in the fourth quarter of the year.
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.120
And um, the CEO kept telling us to hold the line on expenses.
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.040
Well, we had prepared a board deck.
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.639
This was a Thursday, and we were supposed to go to a board meeting on Monday.
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:55.759
And we had prepared the board deck that had showed had we been allowed to hire the number of people we had asked based on the current conversion rates, not only would we have met the Q1 projections, we would have exceeded it.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:06.560
So, what the CEO did is he fired the two of us, walked in the boardroom on Monday morning with our board deck and said we didn't hire enough people, and he went on a hiring spree.
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:08.800
And so, oh yeah.
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.439
Well, karma has a way of working things out, right?
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.519
Or boomerang, whatever you want to talk about.
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:29.360
But basically, what happened is um the board conducted an investigation, the CEO was removed from office, and then of course he hired a crony and put him in his place, you know, um somebody a buddy, and they summarily ran the company into the ground.
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.840
And unfortunately, it no longer exists today because they undid everything we did.
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:34.879
I know, right?
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:36.080
But what happened to me?
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:36.960
This is all about me.
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:38.559
So now we're gonna talk about me.
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:39.840
Let's move on.
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.840
So tell us a bit what happened after the day at the oncology office and the bit in between and where you are now.
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:46.399
I want to know.
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:47.440
I want to know more.
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:48.320
Absolutely.
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:56.799
Okay, so what happened was I basically, because of you know being wrongfully terminated in essence, I was given a nine-month runway, a nice exit package.
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.679
And so I had nine months, which I find interesting from the divine, to birth something new.
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:09.600
And I
really feel, yeah, I really feel the divine plucked me out of corporate America for that purpose because I'd probably still be there.
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.519
And um, I spent a lot of time in prayer and meditation.
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:21.600
Um, and so prayer for me is, you know, asking the questions, you know, um, and sending out the signals, sending out your intention.
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.080
And meditation is really listening for the answers.
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:25.840
So I really think they work hand in hand.
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:35.759
And I remember I had this one really powerful meditation where I had tears streaming down my face, and I just knew it would be soul crushing if I went back into corporate America.
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:41.840
I knew what I know now is that that was my soul intelligence really screaming at me.
00:09:42.399 --> 00:10:02.639
And um that's when the method, my healing method called the soul intelligence method, came through me, which is a neuroenergetic way of releasing stuck trauma, um, you know, challenging emotions, um, self-learning beliefs, um, old archetypes and patterns, all of those things up and out of the body.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:07.919
And so my method is um, and my book is called Healing Through Soul Intelligence.
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.200
And what it is, is it's founded in science.
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.840
It's based on bioenergetics, which was founded in the 1950s by Dr.
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:17.120
Alexander Lowen.
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.759
And essentially, to me, it's like common sense, okay?
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:27.200
It basically says if something's going wrong in the physical body, then you're gonna have discomfort in the mental and emotional bodies too.
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:33.600
So basically, if you're not feeling great physically, mentally, emotionally, you're probably not doing so hot either, and right and vice versa.
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:51.600
And that's because um emotions are supposed to be energy in motion, and when emotions pool or they get stuck and trapped in the body, that's when they start to cause dis-ease or dysfunction or dissonance in your frequency, and that's when the trouble starts.
00:10:52.080 --> 00:11:01.440
So essentially what my method does is it gets to the root cause of all illness, which is an underlying emotional uh root cause.
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.279
So um that's kind of it in a nutshell.
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:13.279
Yeah, so it could be a variety of things that um lingering in the body, uh fear abandonment.
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.639
Um I mean the list could go on, right?
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.879
Which as you say causes dis-ease in the body.
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:28.399
So yeah, and so I look at your physical body as really like the barometer to your subconscious mind, what's really going on.
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:35.600
And the subconscious mind is what's running the show 95% of the time, which is good because we would stop breathing in the middle of the night, right?
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.679
If we didn't have a subconscious mind.
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:44.720
But we that means we have to use 5% of our mind to change what's going on in the 95% of the mind.
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.440
And so there are ways that you can do that.
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:53.840
And my method is one of them is to bring that stuff up from the subconscious to the conscious so it can be actually released.
00:11:54.080 --> 00:12:00.639
And when I work with people, I talk, I talk about how everybody and everything is energy, right?
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:06.559
And I think back in primary school, we all learned we're protons, neutrons, electrons, this electromagnetic field, right?
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:07.679
Vibrating.
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:21.759
And that means we attract things and repel things, like we have this electromagnetic field around us, and that means that energy can get trapped in people, places, or things, just like it can get trapped in your mental, emotional, or physical body.
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.840
And people are like, Well, I don't get it.
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.159
How how is this, you know, how can that happen?
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:37.200
And I said, Well, if you think about how we just naturally, like right now, we're streaming, like people are checking us out on YouTube or they're on social media, things pop on our phone and we have that's perfectly normal.
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.200
It's all energy, it's all frequency, even music, right?
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:48.399
It's coming in on an energy and a frequency, and our ear is able to receive it, just like the computer is able to receive it.
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:53.120
Um, and so I think we just forget it, you know, because we're physical, we're corporal.
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:59.120
We forget we're energetic beings because we see ourselves as solid and we don't see the vibration.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.159
So that's that's kind of the basic tenet, you know, to get people to understand.
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:10.720
I talk about quantum physics and neuroplasticity and how to change those things and how I can shift this stuff for them.
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.399
Yeah, exactly.
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:13.840
So I love that.
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:18.799
So was a lot of this through your own experience, Christine?
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.480
Did you do some study, a combination of both?
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.559
Uh how did you come about all this learning?
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.720
And I know you said you learned some in primary school, but obviously that's a while ago.
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:32.960
Did you do a combination of everything?
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:46.159
So, you know, for our listener out there that hello to you out there again, uh, you know, everything's possible if you uh, you know, you can combine life experience, work experience, and some
study.
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.600
How did you go about uh getting to where you are today, Christine?
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:50.879
Oh, for sure.
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:56.720
Well, you know, obviously I couldn't walk into a boardroom with a book of charts and a pendulum, which is what I use today, right?
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.120
They would look at me like I had horns.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:05.600
Um, but basically, I learned a method a long time ago of how to use a book of charts and a pendulum.
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:08.399
And it was a method that was developed by a Baptist minister.
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:10.559
So it was very strict and it was very religious.
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.799
It didn't feel right to me.
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.559
But I had the concept of using a book of charts and a pendulum.
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:25.440
And that's when um during COVID I really um took the divine guidance, you know, where it almost felt like I was remembering I knew how to do something.
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.320
And that's the best way for me to describe it to you.
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:34.159
And I put together this book of charts that I use today that's about 30 charts.
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:41.679
Um, you know, the method I learned a long time ago was maybe 15 or something like that, but it's about 30 charts plus, you know, definitions of things.
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:48.080
So it's really a reference text for people to be able to do the neuroenergetic health care that I provide.
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:54.799
And like my mission is to take this method and see it in wellness centers and treatment centers across the country.
00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:05.360
Um, so I get to work in the field of functional medicine today, which is really cool, where you know, we're talking about integrative or functional medicine, where those practitioners treat the entire person.
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.879
They want to look at you physically, mentally, and emotionally.
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:23.360
And so once I remove the stuff that's been holding a chronic illness in place, because most of the doctor's visits today are for chronic conditions, things that just won't heal, um, then they're able to give the body what it needs to help it heal in the physical.
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:32.559
And um, you know, I have the opportunity also to be um the chief growth officer for Nutritional Frontiers, which is a nutraceutical company.
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:43.279
So that provides high grade um supplements, like med medicinal grade supplements to and vitamins and healthy shakes and things like that to healthcare providers.
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:53.039
So I'm actually able to partner um, you know, with Nutritional Frontiers so that we're helping to make the world healthy physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, energetically in always.
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.840
So it's a truly innovative company.
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:03.679
It's um functional medicine and looking at the body and the person holistically is what it needs to be about.
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:04.720
Mm-hmm.
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:17.039
You know, like as you say, by the time some people get to the doctor's office, it's beyond or nearly you know, it's it's often um in crisis situation.
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:24.879
And um, you know, if we can treat the body as the whole body, as you say, that is just so important, so important.
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:29.120
And so many people put off going to the doctor, I think, through fear.
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:35.120
You know, that something might be already happening, and then oh, I don't want to go, what will I find?
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:53.440
And um but you know, I think if we can as you're saying, uh functional medicine and treating everybody as a whole person, if we can keep moving in that direction, that would be really helpful to people, you know, to uh take away some of that fear and oh I'm or or toughing it out.
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:58.240
I don't know what it's like over there, but here it's I'm all right, I'm all right, I'm all right, uh I'm okay.
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:00.559
And when people say, How are you?
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.960
we all say good, even when we're not.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:04.079
Right.
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:06.559
Yeah, I think I think that's human condition.
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:08.640
We do that over here too, you know.
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.119
It's a it's a great effort to go to the doctor.
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.440
But you know, one of the things I share with people is look, self-care is sacred, okay?
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:17.279
It's not selfish, you know.
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:24.799
And if you you're trying to take care of your family and you know, you know, work and children and whatever, we have multiple responsibilities.
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:28.640
We if we don't take care of ourselves first, we're gonna be drained, right?
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:35.440
And so whether you're healing, you know, a physical condition, a mental or emotional state, they're all connected.
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:42.000
Um, and in order to thrive and live the best life, you know, you're gonna want all of those things to be in balance.
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:57.599
So I often tell people, you know, working with me and doing a you know, a neuroenergetic session or a soul intelligence session is basically like you come to a chiropractor for a biomechanical adjustment and you come to me for a bioenergetic adjustment.
00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.799
They go hand in hand.
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:04.079
If I get the energy out, then you'll be able to get an adjustment, you'll be straight, and you'll be in alignment, right?
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.000
And you're gonna feel much better.
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:07.119
Absolutely.
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.480
And I was just thinking back to when I was a child.
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:18.240
Like some of our my nunnas, you know, remedies and maybe your non-nas remedies too, they they play a part too.
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:23.200
It mightn't have been as medical as it is today, but I think they knew what they were on about a bit as well.
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:32.240
You know, we have a saying in Australia, they knew what they were on about, they knew what they were talking about, they knew um I think we've shifted away from a lot of that.
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:39.759
They knew how to heal themselves because you know the field we get it we've moved so far away from that.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:52.160
But I remember my nana knew what to do when something went wrong, and you know, she also had that spiritual side, albeit maybe a bit too strict and you know.
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:53.599
That's okay, I get it.
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.680
Yeah, I'm sure you know where I'm going with that.
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.200
But um Yeah, I mean home remedies, right?
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:07.279
You know, you would use like a little bit of warm oil to put in a baby's ear for an ear infection, you wouldn't necessarily put them on antibiotics, right?
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:09.920
Or you know, yeah, you remember?
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:20.640
Um, or you would, you know, have an aloe plant for a burn and put the the you know fluid, you know, the the sticky fluid from the aloe plant on the burn after you burned your hand, right?
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:35.039
There are certain things that we knew, you know, when you look back, basically if you trace the the money path, um, when the petroleum companies, you know, decided they wanted to control um health care, they started to come up with drugs.
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:44.319
And so in those very large wealthy families, um at several actually in the United States, wound up funding our medical schools.
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.680
And then they discredited natural pathic medicine.
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:50.880
So they discredited all home retimies, all homeopathy.
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:52.079
Oh, yeah.
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.799
If you start following, like the, you know, you pretty much figure out anything if you follow the money trail, right?
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.119
Um, and that's what happened back in the 30s.
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:11.759
Yeah, you know, well, it's also the same same thing as when we eliminated, you know, or minimized um the companies that were producing cigarettes, um, right?
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:25.119
Uh the cigarette companies then purchase food companies and they use the same types of methods to get people addicted to process food that they were doing with nicotine um and cigarettes.
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:25.680
Oh, yeah.
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:29.039
If you start following the money, it's absolutely fascinating.
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:35.599
And that's when they came up with the fructose corn syrup and all the dyes and all the stuff that we now know is not good
for you.
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:37.920
Um probably like that.
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:39.039
We've got sugar.
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.200
Sugar's a big deal here in Australia.
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:49.519
Yeah, because you know, they've done all these experiments where they show that rats were more addicted to sugar than they were cocaine.
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:54.559
That's how crazy addictive sugar actually is.
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:58.960
So anyway, um, there's lots of stuff like that that you can follow.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.000
But I'm not strict.
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:01.839
I'm like, you know, look, there's a spectrum.
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:07.920
You know, sometimes the body has held that energy in place so long it needs help, right?
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.359
From maybe a pharmaceu a pharmacological way, right?
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:18.079
Maybe the the the drugs um before you can move to the path of doing something naturopathically.
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:20.480
Sometimes naturopathic medicine will do it.
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:39.759
Like I um I actually was working with someone and um I I was doing a session, and when he came on, he had an oxygen like nose cannula in and he had um labored breathing and he was kind of restricted to um a recliner.
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.559
And I was like their last ditch effort, right?
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:49.440
They're like, We've tried everything, I've gone through the medical system, you know, um traditional, naturopathic, nothing's working.
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:50.559
I still have this pain.
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:52.000
They call it a phantom pain.
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:55.359
And it was kind of in the middle of his chest, between his chest and his stomach.
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.160
And um, I could tell he was in pain.
00:21:58.319 --> 00:21:59.759
Okay by the end of the session.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:06.880
I could see that he had taken the nose cannula out so he wasn't on his oxygen and he was breathing more normally.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:20.799
But during the session, I looked to see, I said to him, I said, Wow, you've been holding something like in the top of your stomach for um not only yourself, but about 80 other souls, 80 other people.
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:22.000
Yeah.
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.359
And it's been in there for 50 years.
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:27.039
50, 5-0.
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.400
And I and I'm like, it looks like it's a group.
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:32.400
It looks, you know, and I'm giving him details.
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:41.920
And he said, Well, I was in the Vietnam War and there was an incident with my company, you know, the group of men, he was together, and he was holding that energy in place.
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.279
And it's one of the reasons why no one can help solve his problem.
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:56.319
So once I got that energy out, I asked him to partner with a naturopathic doctor and um traditionally trained
pharmacist so he could get them on the spectrum, right?
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.319
Traditional or or what we call allopathic or naturopathic.
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:14.799
And he started working with him and he found that the antidepressant medication that the traditional doctors had given him, um, they in our country, you know, if something is not working, we just give you more, right?
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:16.079
Titrate up.
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:23.039
And they had given him so much of this antidepressant medication that his stomach was producing too much serotonin.
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:25.200
Now, serotonin is the happy hormone.
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.359
He was not giggling his ass off, okay?
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:29.359
He was in a lot of pain.
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:32.799
Um, and so too much of a good thing is not good.
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:44.480
Anyway, so we were able to give him something, GABA, which is an ingredient in one of our products that helps with, you know, stress and things like that, to take the serotonin level down and counteract that.
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:50.160
And um, you know, I got I saw him pop on my calendar not too long ago.
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.720
And so I was like, wow, what are you doing back here?
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:54.000
He goes, I'm feeling great.
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:55.039
I go, that's awesome.
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:56.160
Why are you on my schedule?
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:58.160
He goes, I want to keep feeling great.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.680
I'm like, that's amazing.
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:02.240
And his wife goes, Tell her what you did today.
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.480
I go, tell me, Greg, what did you do today?
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:10.319
And he says, he said he actually went out and used the snowplow.
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:18.079
And they live in like a very snowy part of our country, and he and he used the um sorry, snowblower um in the driveway.
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:25.920
Now rem this is a miracle because this man was stuck in a recliner with oxygen, not able to breathe.
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:29.759
And now he is and he's in his 70s and now he's out, you know, snowblowing.
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:34.160
She's thrilled, he's thrilled, but he got his health back, his life back.
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:40.240
But that's how I partner with functional medicine to really help heal somebody and help them shift.
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:44.240
And he was so depressed, he was contemplating, you know, suicide and other things.
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.039
Like when I say end of the rope, right?
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:52.319
So I'm just so grateful that the divine put this in my path.
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:53.920
Yeah, absolutely.
00:24:54.240 --> 00:25:00.240
So for people at home against thinking, you know, you're sitting there in your recliner, there's no hope.
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:01.119
There's always hope.
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:03.039
There's always hope for that person out there.
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:08.720
Um, as Christine's saying, it may not be this modality, it may be a couple of modalities that you need.
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:13.599
Uh, a couple of types of you know, functional medicine, other medicine.
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:16.319
And sometimes you need to try a few things.
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:18.000
Try a few things, you know.
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.440
Uh, it may not be always on the first go or the first visit.
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:29.680
So and as you were saying before, um, Christine, what's important to remember too, you didn't get we don't get where we are in a week.
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.119
That man was five-oh, five-o people at home.
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.119
Fifty years, not five weeks or five years.
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:39.440
He was holding all that in for 50.
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:41.599
Was that one visit, did you say?
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.799
So after the first visit, he was breathing normally.
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:49.920
Now I worked with him probably about four additional sessions, right?
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.559
Because there were other things, and we're, you know, complex beings, there's layers to us, right?
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:58.319
Um, and then I also had him working with the functional medicine doctor.
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:03.599
So I think I did a total of five sessions in particular for him, but because it's been in there that long.
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.279
But some people just have like, for example, like relief overnight.
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:17.039
So I had this um woman and she has a coaching practice, she's a health coach, and she said to me, Oh, I don't know what's going on.
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:20.000
I haven't had my period in three months, my mencies.
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:21.839
I haven't had my mencies in three months.
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.319
Um, I don't want my husband to touch me.
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.400
I just don't feel attractive.
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:31.519
And um, I my my business is starting to like slow down.
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:32.400
I don't know what's going on.
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:33.359
I said, Well, I do.
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:34.559
And she goes, What?
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:37.359
I said, That's all in your sacral chakra.
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:39.759
So you have seven major energy centers in the body.
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:46.240
So the sacral is where our sexual organs are, and that's like for women, the seed of womanhood, okay?
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:49.279
And we birth babies in the uterus and we also birth businesses.
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:53.920
So I'm like, well, let's check to see how blocked your your sacral chakra is.
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:58.319
It was like 95% blocked, like no energy moving around in there at all.
00:26:58.480 --> 00:26:59.759
I said, Well, no wonder.
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:02.079
So I did a session for her, okay?
00:27:02.240 -->
00:27:03.279
I cleared it all out.
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:08.480
I got a text from her the next morning, and she said to me, Girl, you got everything flowing.
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:09.920
I got my period last night.
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:14.160
I let my husband hold me, and I had three emails in my inbox from new clients.
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.359
And I was like, Yes, trifecta of goodness.
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:19.920
So it can happen that quickly, right?
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:22.079
It can happen after one session.
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:30.480
So do you believe, Christine, that like the lady with the sacral blockage, for want of a better word, because I can't think of anything else right now.
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:32.079
No, it's perfect.
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:40.079
The emotion wherever without you know, breaching confidentiality, her emotion went there because of something that happened.
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:41.759
How does it know where to go in the body?
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:43.359
I'm curious about that.
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:47.119
Whatever happened in her life, it knew to go there because of past trauma.
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:54.880
Because I I notice you talk too about as women, we look to sometimes we're overachieving to hide trauma, but it's there.
00:27:55.440 --> 00:28:01.119
So I'm curious and to tell our viewers and our listeners, how does it know where to go in the body?
00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:04.960
Is it related to say, say I've got um planophasciitis?
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:06.000
Does it go in my foot?
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:07.519
Like, how does it work?
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:15.759
Yeah, so I mean, our body, um, every body part, okay, and every illness has an underlying emotional root cause.
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:23.839
Like, even something that seems very like innocent or innocuous, like, say you wake up and you've got a pain on the right side of your neck.
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.640
Okay, the right side of the body is male.
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:28.960
Necks are about flexibility.
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:33.680
So are you being inflexible with your, your, your mate?
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:38.559
Your, you know, or is he being a pain in your neck and inflexible with you?
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:40.720
It's not just I slept wrong.
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:42.960
There's probably something underneath that.
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:45.839
And I think it's just unpacking what is underneath that.
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.640
And you mentioned the foot, like plantar fasciitis.
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:55.359
Well, I had a doctor, like an MD, come to me, and she was like, Christine, I haven't been able to walk on my foot in four months.
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:56.319
I'm like, You're a doctor.
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:57.200
What are you talking about?
00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:58.880
And she's like, I've tried everything.
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:00.079
Why do you think I'm calling you?
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:01.119
And I
said, Okay.
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:09.839
So we did a session and I'm doing it, and I go, What is with all of these men not supporting you, not allowing you to move forward?
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:10.799
It was her right foot.
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:12.640
She's not, you know, male side of the body.
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:15.279
I'm looking it up, and I'm like, this is insane.
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.480
And she, and I said, and this has been going on, you know.
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:20.480
I think it started about six months ago.
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:22.240
You said you can't walk for the last four months.
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:24.240
She goes, Oh my gosh.
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:31.039
I am in a lawsuit with a bunch of contractors that did a poor, poor work on my house.
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:32.960
They didn't hold up their end of the contract.
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.640
I now have a lawsuit, and my attorney won't even call me back.
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.240
And um, and I said, All right, well, let's clear this out.
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.319
And I, you know, so I told her we did it.
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:48.480
And she also had um a sinus infection, which is an irritation with someone who's particularly close to you.
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:51.920
And um, so I said to her, Yeah, I know, right?
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:54.720
And and she goes, Well, yeah, I can't get my attorney to call me back.
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:57.599
I go, well, that's probably your sinus infection, so let's work on that too.
00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:58.480
And so I did it.
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:04.240
And the next morning she said, Oh my God, Christine, I am so embarrassed to tell you that I had to crawl to the bathroom.
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:06.240
Like I couldn't put weight on my foot at all.
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:07.759
She goes, I got out of bed.
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:10.240
I walked right into the bathroom, no problem.
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:12.960
She goes, My sinus infection feels like a cold.
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:13.599
I go, good.
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:19.759
I said, now that you can walk on that foot, you're gonna use it to put it up your attorney's backside and call him next.
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:21.279
That's your next phone call after me.
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:22.799
And she said, Okay, I promise.
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:25.440
So things can happen that quickly.
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:29.359
So to answer your question, how does the energy go know where to go?
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:31.680
It depends on what you're holding and what's going on.
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.000
You know, I mentioned the sacral chakra.
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:37.200
We hold a lot of trauma there as women, you know.
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:47.119
Um, also, you know, if you look at how come so many men who retire get prostate cancer, again, that's the sacral area.
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:52.640
There's not a lot of energy going on, they're not producing, they're not out hunting and gathering anymore.
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.559
So they've lost their sense of purpose.
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:56.400
So that's where the energy goes.
00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:58.480
So it really depends on what's going on.
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:02.079
We talk about diabetes, like so many people are afflicted with that.
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:06.240
That's not embracing the sweetness of life or not feeling loved, right?
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:07.759
Depending on what type.
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.680
So the everything correlates back to the physical body.
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:13.279
Oh my lord.
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:16.480
I know I got going about so much.
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:17.359
I know.
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:18.720
Wow.
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:19.680
Wow.
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:21.839
So much, so interesting.
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:23.440
It really blows my mind.
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.200
All of that, all that knowledge.
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:25.680
Yeah.
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:35.039
Well, if people are interested in learning a little bit more about me, um, you know, the best place for them to go is to my website at soulintelligencemethod.com.
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:39.200
And that's soul, like S-O-U-L, soulintelligence method.com.
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:40.559
Or you can go on Amazon.
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:41.839
My book's available there.
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:43.519
I'm on Audible and Kindle.
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:45.920
And I actually went out to LA and recorded it myself.
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:49.839
I've had several people tell me that they feel like they're getting a healing because it's my voice.
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:53.839
So um, that could be kind of cool if people want to get to know me a little bit more.
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:59.039
Is LA for us people that aren't in your country, is LA somewhere good to do that?
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:00.160
Oh, I'm sorry.
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.880
Uh Los Angeles, California, Hollywood.
00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:06.960
Um so I went out, yeah, I went out there to record it in a studio.
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.400
So that was pretty fun.
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:14.880
I thought it might have been a healing place, like people go to certain places over there to do yoga and things, don't they?
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:21.119
Oh, one of my favorite spots on earth is Sedona, Arizona, because Sedona and the vortexes.
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:23.039
Yeah, it was somewhere over there.
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:23.680
Yeah.
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:25.440
Alrighty.
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:27.440
Wow, my mind's blown.
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:28.559
I love you.
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:29.920
I love it too.
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:30.559
Wow.
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:32.799
Um, my mind's blown in a good way.
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:33.279
I love it.
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:38.640
I can feel your energy coming across the, as you say, the beams across the world.
00:32:38.799 -->
00:32:39.119
All right.
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:44.240
So as we wrap up today, is there anything else that you'd like to leave our viewers with, Christine?
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:46.160
Um, you know what?
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:55.279
A message, you know, I mentioned earlier, probably what I'm most famous for, is saying, you know, self-care isn't selfish, it's sacred.
00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:01.359
And the reason why I say that is um in quantum physics, there's something called the butterfly effect.
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:14.880
And the butterfly effect is if a butterfly just dramatically changes its trajectory, um, it can cause on one side of the world, it can cause a tsunami on the other side of the world.
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:18.160
And that's because everyone and everything is connected.
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:21.039
We're all connected in this electromagnetic field.
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:38.880
And so that means when you choose to heal yourself, you're not just helping your family, your friends, um, or your, you know, your co-workers, but you actually can be helping to raise the consciousness level of the planet because you're shifting your energy, you're healing, and we're all connected.
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:41.920
So I just encourage everybody to take that with them.
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:48.559
And, you know, um, if you're having a fuck it moment, just know there is hope, there is help out there.
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:51.119
Um, and I hope people would take me up on that.
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:51.920
Absolutely.
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.000
I didn't know that about butterflies.
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:59.279
Yeah, it's called the butterfly effect in c in quantum physics.
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:01.599
So yeah, it's pretty cool.
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:07.519
I can feel your great energy.
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:08.239
It's amazing.
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:08.880
Awesome.
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:11.039
Well, maybe we'll have to do a session sometime.
00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:14.239
We'll do it, we'll do it live and we'll like share with the world.
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:16.960
Yeah, maybe I can come over or you can come over.
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:26.400
Oh, wouldn't that be you know, on my list of on my to-do list, I definitely I'm a big tennis player and I definitely want to come to the Australian Open.
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:29.599
Watching that recently, I was like, really, I want to go.
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:30.960
So hopefully that would be a good one.
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.360
Oh, well, you're more than welcome to come to Florida.
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:36.960
We always have a guest room open.
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.639
That's how we that's how we hear it's and here too for you.
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:41.920
That's amazing.
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:43.519
All right, everybody.
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:47.760
That's it on another episode of Midlife Unplugged the Fucker Ears.
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:52.320
