00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:18.000
Hello there and welcome back to the next episode of Overcome Yourself the Podcast.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.239
As you know, my name is Nicole, and I'm so excited to be here today with Kathy.
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:30.079
And Kathy is someone that was uh introduced to me from a fellow entrepreneur that we work together.
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:34.880
Um we're actually in a coaching group together, and she introduced me to the fabulous Kathy.
00:00:35.199 --> 00:00:37.519
So I'm so excited to have you here today.
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.960
Take it away, Kathy.
00:00:39.199 --> 00:00:43.439
Tell us a little bit about who you are and who you help.
00:00:43.519 --> 00:00:45.599
I'm so excited for this episode.
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:47.199
Absolutely.
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.199
Um, Nicole, thanks for having me here.
00:00:49.279 --> 00:00:52.239
I'm so excited to have this conversation.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:53.119
You're right.
00:00:53.279 --> 00:00:57.919
It is amazing when you meet people and they say you have to meet so-and-so.
00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:02.879
So I'm so glad for collaborations in this community that's being created.
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:09.840
I am a Gen X original, born in 1965.
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:26.320
I uh have gone through the transition of what we have seen in the last 60 years, going from very analog, um, everything uh being in your head to extremely digital.
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:40.480
And in that process, I had a complete breakdown that led to my breakthrough, probably along the lines of so many people this day, because the systems that were in are breaking.
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:50.079
So that led to me becoming a three-time best-selling author, uh, unlearn the crap, which led to me becoming a successful podcaster.
00:01:50.320 --> 00:02:05.840
And now I have a uh system for podcasters called Finally, which is the that sense of relief when finally everything can be taken care of, so you can just live in your zone of genius.
00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:08.479
I love that so much.
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.520
Um, so tell us tell us that story.
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.159
Um, we want to know how you overcame yourself.
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.960
So tell us the story of Kathy and how you got here.
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.640
Because I know when I graduated from high school, the world had changed completely.
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.800
Like everything I had trained for was out the window, and we've experienced another revolution just like that.
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:34.960
So, can you tell us a little bit about what led to you ending up writing your best-selling books?
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:36.319
Yeah.
00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:39.759
Um I I told you I was an original Gen X.
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.240
So uh I was in corporate in the 80s and 90s and the early 2000s.
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:50.800
So I predated computers, cell phones, and Google.
00:02:51.280 --> 00:03:01.520
I actually was coming into the ranks when women were finally being able to give in the rights to have their own bank accounts and credit cards and autonomy.
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:17.200
And so we were in that time of the Helen Reddy song of um I am woman, hear me roar, but yet we still had ourselves chained to the old expectations of what women were supposed to do.
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.640
And I believed all of it.
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.120
That's where Unlearn the Crap comes from.
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.680
It was ingrained in my system that service above self and all of these things.
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.120
You can sleep when you're dead, and you know, put on your big girl panties and soldier on.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:16.639
But I am now discovering that in order to be fully healthy, we must be aligned and authentic.
00:04:17.039 --> 00:04:37.120
And so that's where my breakthrough came is I had to unlearn all the condition responses and automatic programming that went into taking me out of alignment, putting others before me, not knowing what boundaries were, not knowing how to uh say no.
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:44.800
All of this was something that I think we should be learning from birth.
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.240
And because I believe that we really all have something special to give.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:51.920
So I had to unlearn that.
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.120
You call it overcoming, I call it unlearning.
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:03.759
Yes, well, I did have to unlearn a lot of stuff, but I did have to overcome myself.
00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:18.560
I felt like there was just something about me where I really had to um, I don't even know how to explain it, but it was really like like you know, get over the lump in the road that you are right now.
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.040
Um, but yeah, I can totally relate to that.
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:29.759
Um, and really just having to set new values, like just literally starting from scratch.
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.759
Like, what are my beliefs?
00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:33.120
Like, what do I believe?
00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:36.959
What is right, what is wrong, like how am I gonna react in these situations?
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:45.040
And it really is a process of of just creating a blank slate and just starting from scratch.
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.639
Just because I used to decide things like this doesn't mean I have to do it anymore.
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.920
Just because I thought this before doesn't mean I have to stay there.
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.519
Um, and so yeah, there is a lot of unlearning of crap.
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:56.959
So yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:58.319
Of course you're right.
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:00.800
Yes.
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:12.879
Um it's funny that you say that because that what you just described is exactly how I unlearned my crap because I was taught how to create a business.
00:06:13.040

--> 00:06:21.840
I was taught, you know, you create your mission statement and your value statement, um, you create um your boundaries and all of that.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:31.920
And I thought, okay, well, if I can create a business and who I am got me to my breakdown, maybe I can create myself.
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.759
And so I sat down and thought, well, what do I believe in?
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.079
What do I want to believe in?
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:44.000
What do I want to let go of that I had been ingrained in me?
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.639
What do I want to choose?
00:06:46.959 --> 00:07:08.720
And and so I started to choose my beliefs, I started to choose my values, and that right there is something I think everyone needs to know is you don't have to just evolve as we were uh raised in whatever family or society or whatever.
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.160
We can choose, and that's where our power is.
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:17.840
Yeah, like the this is reminding me of the lady with the pot roast.
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.480
Have you heard the story of the pot roast?
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:31.040
And so this lady, every every time she would make a pot roast on Sunday, she would cut off the end and toss it, and then she would make the pot roast.
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.360
And then one day her daughter's like, Mom, why do you do that?
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.840
She's like, I don't know, because that's how your grandma did it.
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.120
And so the daughter went to the grandma, Grandma, why do you do that?
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.040
I don't know, because that's how my mom did it.
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.319
So she went to her great-grandma and she's like, Grandma, why did you do that?
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:51.199
She's like, Oh, because my pot wasn't big enough, and so I had to cut off the end so it would fit, and then I could put it in the oven and it would cook.
00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:53.040
And so I just threw away the part that didn't.
00:07:53.280 --> 00:08:01.600
And so these three generations of women had been cutting off the end of the pot rows, wasting a piece of the pot roast, even though theirs fit into the pot.
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.560
And it was the granddaughter who's like, Why do we do this?
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:12.399
Um, and so it's your, it's our, you know, it's our job to stop and be like, why do we do it like this?
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.680
Like, why do I do this this way?
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:16.319
Why?
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.840
Where do we learn that from?
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.600
Um, yeah, and then choose.
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.280
Maybe you don't have to do that.
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:33.360
Do you know that there was a science experiment that um taught monkeys how to wash the sand off of their food in the river?
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.519
And by the time they gone through, they call it the hundred monkeys.
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:49.840
By
the time they had gone through a hundred monkeys, it was ingrained in the monkey DNA energy, regardless of where they were around the world.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.000
And now monkeys were who were afraid of water were doing that.
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:57.919
That's how it gets ingrained in us.
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.039
That once something is taught, it just becomes part of who we are.
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.000
All right, let's talk about this because this is really important.
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:15.440
Um, because now what you made me think of was a study that I read about that they did about generational trauma.
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:25.039
And it was these little rats, and they put them on this little electric, they put them inside a little cage, and then they electrified their little feet.
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.120
And then they took, you know, they took the rats away, they brought them back, the same rats.
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:37.279
The next generation of rats who had never been in this cave, in this cage before, the moment they were put in, they got nervous.
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:38.560
Yeah.
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:40.639
That space made them nervous.
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:49.279
And down like three, I think it was down to like seven generations that these mice were still nervous of this room, even though they had never been shocked in the room before.
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.360
They carried it in their genes.
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.720
This room is bad, bad things happen.
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:59.600
And we have to unpack those generational traumas, right?
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.440
It we have to be the little rat that looks up and we're like, why are we scared of this room?
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.840
What happened here that made my family so scared?
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.879
Why do I feel this in this space?
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:17.519
And I think those are really important questions to ask because down to our, it's it's in our cells sometimes.
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.240
We carry this with us, and it's subconscious.
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:21.200
We don't know.
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:25.200
And so just bring a light to it and be like, why is this happening?
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.639
Why do I feel this?
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.919
And sometimes that requires talking to your doctor.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.039
Um, that led me to be like, why do I feel like this?
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.879
I told my doctor, and they're like, Oh, you have a vitamin deficiency, let's fix it.
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.639
And then I felt better.
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.600
So, yeah, it's just shining a light to those areas and be like, why?
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:44.799
Why does this happen?
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:45.840
Why am I feeling this?
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.120
Why am I seeing this?
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:49.039
That's such a big deal.
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.960
Yeah, and sometimes it doesn't matter why.
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.560
It just doesn't, it's not working, it's disempowering.
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.519
There's something that is happening there.
00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:08.879
Um, you know, biologists have proven that, first of all, the egg that created us what existed in our grandmother.
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:20.240
Yes, we are uh biological chemical beings, and that chemistry within our body changes our DNA, and so it gets replicated over and over again.
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:25.919
And this is one of the things that made me you just brought up for me as I was thinking.
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:44.320
Um, I'm not a religious person, I'm not a Bible scholar, but there is a line in the Bible that was written thousands of years ago that the sins of the father will be seen for seven generations.
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:46.720
That's what you just talked about.
00:11:47.679 --> 00:12:04.720
They knew what we go through is going to affect seven generations, it's built right into our DNA, and so if we can unlearn our crap, we can put the line in the sand right here, right now, and says this ends with me.
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:13.600
Yeah, I know I'm gonna pass some stuff on, but I'm not gonna carry the previous seven generations anymore, and it ends here.
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:25.600
Interesting, yes, but the New Testament it says the child will not be judged for the sins of the father, and so that we can break it, it can be broken.
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:30.639
It doesn't have to be seven generations, it can be broken right here, right now.
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.240
So, yeah, oh, I love that.
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.759
I love how it comes around full circle, and I hadn't put those two together, so thank you.
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:37.519
Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.360
Um, but yeah, seven generations.
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.879
So it's it's so scary how it matches, right?
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.080
And the science is like, yeah, that's exactly how long it stays.
00:12:46.320 --> 00:13:01.759
Um, but yeah, so some of this stuff that we have to unlearn, that the I think that the important thing to bring up here is that some of the stuff that you have to unlearn, and tell me if this is true in your case, you is stuff that you didn't even learn.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.840
It was already in you, like it was it was already brought.
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.759
So you didn't choose this.
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:08.879
And I think you're right.
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.000
The question is not why, is where is this coming from?
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:14.639
That was the question that really helped me.
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:16.560
Where is this coming from?
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:30.240
Because we have to take responsibility, even though it wasn't our fault, it wasn't caused by us, it wasn't something that we decided to learn, but it's still our choice to to stop it
here, to unlearn it here and there.
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.080
Yes, yeah.
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:42.159
One of the very first um retreat for personal development I went on uh was with James Arthur Ray from The Secret.
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:48.720
And he did this exercise where we had to identify a core belief.
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.399
That's I mean, this was like 20 some odd year, maybe even more.
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:59.519
Anyways, um at the end of it, uh, someone said the belief was I'm not good enough.
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:08.879
And what James Arthur Ray said was 99% of his audience, no matter how many times he does this, has the same answer.
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.279
And I started to think about that.
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:23.919
My grandmother um was in the war, she lived in uh Estonia, where the Russians and the Germans were trying to constantly take over that land.
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:31.039
She carried all of this trauma also from her parents who were, you know, very poor.
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:37.440
So as a childhood, then my my mother was a um teenage bride.
00:14:37.759 --> 00:15:16.080
I came along carrying all of this baggage, and I grew up thinking, not not thinking, because it was it wasn't cognizant, I wasn't cognitively aware of the thought, but it was I need to earn my place, I need to be of service and value to prove that I am worthy, and so I was always overgiving, self-sacrificing, and it wasn't until I started to challenge those thoughts and identify where did this come from?
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:30.080
It's not mine, you know, and it was once I was able to identify that this had come on from generations of trauma, it became crystal clear that I could choose to let it go.
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:52.000
And you know, what's really cool is watching the next generation and your family, the the little cousins and the all these little kids who are growing up on the other side of all of those things, right?
00:15:52.159 --> 00:16:04.960
Because I see my little cousins and they're so not traumatized, and I'm like, oh my god, like they're so healthy and and they're just so like you know, moody, but in a good way, like they're just like, oh, like, you know, the mango store's not open and it's so annoying.
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.000
But that's such a good thing for them to be mad about, right?
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.960
Because they don't have to worry about any other thing.
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.679
So they're just you know worried about like the the little things in life, and they're like, oh, right.
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:22.720
And to just to see that generation coming up, and you're like, wow, I could have done so many things if I hadn't had so much drama.
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:35.440
But watching the next generation come up and and they are building on the work that we did, it's beautiful to see them because you're like, oh, this is this is this is the goal, right?
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:41.679
Like this is what we were working so hard towards, is that it's not it's not the same for them.
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.039
Um, and they don't have to carry those things so that they can they can do greater things, right?
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:54.159
They can um, yeah, what we didn't get the chance to do because we were dealing with all that junk.
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.399
Um, you know, and so that's the reward.
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:07.919
Well, uh Nicole, we're in a massive, massive societal um paradigm shift that's happening all around the world.
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:18.159
The systems that were built from the industrial revolution, from the dark ages, all of those things that were carried on are breaking.
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:19.599
And they're breaking.
00:17:19.919 --> 00:17:29.279
One futurist says that we have uh we'll see in the next 10 years the equivalent of the uh hundred years that we've just gone through.
00:17:29.439 --> 00:17:44.479
That's the rate of change is happening so fast, and so in when things are moving that fast, anything that is not working is going to crumble below us, and it's going to fall apart.
00:17:44.719 --> 00:17:55.199
And so that is happening in real time, and we're living in a shift where we are seeing everything crumble.
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:02.639
Our education, our government, our financial, it doesn't matter what system, it's breaking.
00:18:02.959 --> 00:18:14.799
And so that is calling each and every one of us to realize we're the change makers, we're the line in the sand right now, and we are being called to level up.
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:17.839
Yes, absolutely.
00:18:18.479 --> 00:18:25.119
Um, yeah, to speak out, to spread hope, to to lead the way, right?
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:31.359
Because, you know, just like when I said when I graduated from high school, everything had changed, everything was different.
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:35.439
I walked into a world that I had trained for that no longer existed.
00:18:35.679 --> 00:18:37.599
It was all poof, it was gone.
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:46.079
Um, you know, like going to going to work and working there for 50 years and then getting like a big pension, like we watch pensions disappear.
00:18:46.239 --> 00:18:47.439
They're like, oops, sorry.
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.279
Um, it's gone now.
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:50.079
So good luck.
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:51.519
Like go back to work.
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:52.719
Congratulations.
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:58.000
Um, and so, you know, we we didn't we didn't have that luxury of just hanging out.
00:18:58.159 --> 00:19:01.039
Um, and so we got to see those changes in real time.
00:19:01.199 --> 00:19:12.399
And it's funny, Gen Xers, millennials, like we've seen so many things that they were like, oh, this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and we've gone through like three times already.
00:19:13.679 --> 00:19:21.759
And we're in one right now, yes, we're in one right now with AI
and technology and automation.
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:30.000
There is no way that we can go back to an abacus or a calculator.
00:19:30.239 --> 00:19:33.839
Uh uh, we just can't slow this one down.
00:19:34.399 --> 00:19:46.719
Oh my gosh, I remember when I was working in a restaurant and the power went out, and they still had a carbon copy machine.
00:19:46.879 --> 00:19:48.159
Do you remember those?
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:59.119
So we had to put the credit card and then we had to put the little paper and we had to go so we could copy the numbers, and then when the power came back on, we had to type them all in.
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:04.159
Yeah, and it was like I don't know how people used to do this, but that's how credit cards started, right?
00:20:04.239 --> 00:20:07.599
Like you would go to Birdines, they take out the oh, the big clunker.
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.719
Birdines, look at me.
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:09.679
Oh my god.
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:13.759
That was a big uh that was the big department store in Miami back in the day, right?
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:16.399
So you go to Macy's and they take out this big clunker.
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.319
Can you imagine us doing that now?
00:20:18.479 --> 00:20:22.159
Like, even the TVs, remember how big the TVs were?
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:29.759
Yeah, you don't want to know what I remember about TVs, about how there was a box.
00:20:30.239 --> 00:20:30.879
No remotes.
00:20:30.959 --> 00:20:38.000
Yeah, no, no, we had a brown box with these buttons, and then it would have a top and a button, a bottom switch.
00:20:38.159 --> 00:20:48.079
And so you hit these manual buttons to change the channel, which was such an amazing thing because we didn't have to walk to the TV and go click, click, click.
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:57.039
Right, but like it's exponential how fast the next the next thing is, right?
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:12.719
Like it went from like oh TV, and then it was like, oh, now it's in color, and then it was like, oh well, now it's small, now it's bigger, and now you TVs take up over the whole wall, and it's it's amazing, but it's exponential the way that it's growing, yeah.
00:21:12.879 --> 00:21:26.879
Um, I think it always did, um, but now that we're understanding quantum physics and quantum mechanics, uh, that we don't we don't have to do things in time in a linear fashion.
00:21:27.199 --> 00:21:31.919
We understand that everything changes in a moment.
00:21:32.879 --> 00:21:35.359
And my do you know my favorite example of this?
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:36.479
Tell me.
00:21:37.199 --> 00:21:58.159
My favorite example is when someone gets married, when they walk up the aisle or wherever, they say I do, they go from single to married, their identity changes in that instant, and nothing really happened other than a decision that says I do.
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:06.239
And everything, their world changes, their identity, their future, everything.
00:22:06.399 --> 00:22:09.759
That's how powerful decisions are.
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:10.879
That's how powerful.
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:24.479
And so when we're understanding that we have this power in this moment and that we don't need to wait for slow evolution of catching up, we can do it right here, right now.
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:27.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:39.279
Um I'm thinking like of Malcolm Gladwell and like starting small pandemics, um, you know, small things.
00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:42.399
I have to read his new book, though, Revenge of the Tipping Point.
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:44.079
So I'm looking forward to that one.
00:22:44.239 --> 00:22:46.719
Um, but yeah, it's exactly what you're talking about.
00:22:46.879 --> 00:22:49.919
And the other thing I was thinking of is we're so connected.
00:22:50.159 --> 00:22:55.039
Because like back in the day, you would have to wait to hear the news in the newspaper.
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:58.959
You know, the newspaper would come and you would read it and you'd be like, oh, there's a new invention.
00:22:59.199 --> 00:23:03.759
But now someone invents something and they get on their phone and they're like, oh my God, look, a new invention.
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.119
And within seconds, everyone around the world can see that.
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:16.159
Um, and so I think what you were saying that is not not necessarily that it's well, I think it is going faster, but then we can also see it faster.
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:18.719
And so it's just it's just exponential.
00:23:18.879 --> 00:23:28.159
Um awareness of it is what's changing because physics happened the way physics have always happened.
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:31.759
Physics didn't change, yeah, just our knowledge of it.
00:23:31.919 --> 00:23:45.279
And so when we understand that there's so much more that we don't know, and we we need to walk in faith, and we need to walk in hope, and we need we need to bring forward that which we want to receive.
00:23:45.679 --> 00:23:48.079
Yes, I love that.
00:23:48.719 --> 00:23:55.919
Oh, yeah, and then excited, yeah, it just reminds me of of gratitude, right?
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:09.599
Because one of the most powerful things I learned about practicing gratitude is that you can actually redirect that gratitude towards the future and be grateful for that thing now, like that's a huge part of manifestation.
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:15.279
You know, I'm grateful for this thing that maybe hasn't even happened yet, but it will happen.
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:17.359
Like it's just it clicks into place.
00:24:17.679 --> 00:24:20.959
Um, because you know, gratitude is a very strong emotion.
00:24:21.199 --> 00:24:32.159
What you know, before we we sign off here, what part in this journey of yours in in your books and everything, what part does gratitude play in all of that?
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:40.559
Gratitude is a perfect example of universal laws at work in so many ways.
00:24:40.879 -->
00:24:47.119
Because if you think about the universal law of gestation, there's a gestation period for everything.
00:24:47.279 --> 00:25:02.719
If you think about um how everything is created within energy before it comes into the physical, if you think about the law of compensation, that you will be equally compensated for that which you put out into the world.
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:13.359
If you think about any of the universal laws, gratitude is an expression of those laws at work.
00:25:15.199 --> 00:25:18.799
It's not airy fairy, it's physics.
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:19.919
Yes.
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:30.959
It's it's physical because like there's been studies that show and it's it's worked for me, like even reducing blood pressure.
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:37.599
Like I've taken my blood pressure and then I practiced gratitude, and you know, and then I took my blood pressure again, and it those numbers went down.
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:42.399
So I know that's not like an official study, but I was like, damn, this does work.
00:25:42.639 --> 00:25:51.599
And there's actually studies that show that people feel less pain, they heal faster, their numbers get better, not just with blood pressure, with cholesterol, with with everything.
00:25:51.679 --> 00:25:54.319
And I mean, these are measurable things that we're talking about here.
00:25:54.399 --> 00:25:56.639
So yeah, you're absolutely right that it's not woo.
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:03.199
Do you have you ever thought about what the placebo effect actually means?
00:26:04.239 --> 00:26:08.079
They measure our belief against their drug.
00:26:09.439 --> 00:26:10.879
Oh, interesting.
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:24.399
The placebo effect is our thought that we are having something come and work, and they measure our thoughts against their drugs, and they call it the placebo effect.
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:31.359
It's not a placebo effect, it is the biology of belief, as um uh Dr.
00:26:31.439 --> 00:26:33.119
Bruce Lipton talks about.
00:26:33.439 --> 00:26:37.199
It is the energetic science.
00:26:38.399 --> 00:26:39.039
Hmm.
00:26:39.679 --> 00:26:40.719
Yes, yes, yes.
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:46.719
You're absolutely right, and the placebo can have changes as well, right?
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:56.159
And that's why we have to have it so we can see what the changes are, and then they compare the placebo to the results of that, you know.
00:26:56.239 --> 00:26:58.319
So, yeah, you're a hundred percent correct.
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:00.079
That is so interesting.
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:00.959
I love it.
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:06.399
But the placebo is our natural thoughts and beliefs, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:18.799
But just without any like direction, any instruction, it's just kind of like yeah, we we we we live in a world of polarity, we need um that contradiction in order to see.
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:26.399
So if we're comparing our thoughts to a drug, have we ever thought about without the drug?
00:27:26.639 --> 00:27:28.000
What are our thoughts?
00:27:28.399 --> 00:27:31.199
Where how much more powerful can our thoughts?
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:40.479
Because the they talk about these medical miracles that they can't explain, but it all comes down to our thoughts and our beliefs.
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:43.199
Yeah, yeah, because thoughts are energy, right?
00:27:43.439 --> 00:27:45.199
Um, yeah, that's so interesting.
00:27:46.159 --> 00:27:47.199
You got me thinking.
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:48.799
I love it when people get me thinking.
00:27:48.879 --> 00:27:50.239
That's a that's a good thing.
00:27:50.719 --> 00:27:53.199
That's what unlearning the crap is all about.
00:27:53.359 --> 00:28:04.079
It's about reducing the complacency and coming into the moment and critical thinking and really figuring out what works and what doesn't work.
00:28:04.399 --> 00:28:05.039
Yes.
00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:11.599
And speaking of which, you have a gift for the audience, if I'm not mistaken, to help them do that.
00:28:11.679 --> 00:28:13.759
So can you tell us a little bit about that?
00:28:14.399 --> 00:28:15.359
Absolutely.
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:37.519
Um, when I developed my podcast and I found the power of my voice and coming into alignment with myself, I realized that I could connect this whole thing that we were talking about, the speed of change with AI and automation, and totally automate the back end of my podcast and reduce the manual work.
00:28:37.679 --> 00:28:49.599
I believe so strongly that what is happening in this time of change is that humans are no longer having to do the manual labor, the repetitive tasks.
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:52.399
We have technology and automation to do that.
00:28:52.559 --> 00:29:11.039
So if anyone is thinking about or has a podcast and they're wondering how they can remove 10 plus hours of back-end work that nobody sees that's required in order to have a successful podcast, I've got uh quite a few resources at my finally podcastautomation.com.
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:20.639
And other than that, I'd love for them to uh check out people like you on my podcast where we talk about things like this.
00:29:21.439 --> 00:29:22.399
I love that.
00:29:22.639 --> 00:29:28.399
And all of those links are going to be available down in the show notes so you guys can grab those free resources.
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:31.599
And um, how do we connect with you on social media?
00:29:32.879 --> 00:29:38.159
Kathy Baldwin with the K, Unlearn the Crap, you'll find me everywhere.
00:29:38.479 --> 00:29:39.039
Awesome.
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:40.319
Perfect, perfect.
00:29:40.479 --> 00:29:44.079
Now, before we sign off, um, give us your biggest tip.
00:29:44.239 --> 00:29:48.479
Like, what's the biggest, best, juiciest tip that you give your clients?
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.000
The, you know, that gives them the biggest transformation.
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:53.839
Can I give two?
00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:55.759
Yes, of course.
00:29:56.159 --> 00:29:58.079
Okay, so you brought up authors.
00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:02.959
Uh, one of the quotes that I live by is James Clare from Atomic Habits.
00:30:03.439 --> 00:30:07.599
We don't rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems.
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:14.559
Get your systems uh organized so that your dreams and goals can just thrive.
00:30:14.719 --> 00:30:21.759
Yes, and personally, this is gonna age me, but uh the Wizard of Oz.
00:30:22.399 --> 00:30:32.639
When Dorothy was there with her Ruby slippers, and Glinda the Good Witch says, My dear, you've always had it within you.
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.839
We have everything we need already.
00:30:38.159 --> 00:30:41.679
We just need to unlearn our crap so that we can level up.
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:45.439
Yes, yeah, um, I love that.
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:52.079
There's a new, there's a new wicket coming out, so it's not that out of place.
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:54.879
The the for good is coming out.
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:57.359
It'll I don't know if this will be out before that one.
00:30:57.439 --> 00:30:59.519
I think it's coming out in December 2025.
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:04.719
I don't remember when this episode comes out, but yeah, it's very relevant, and um, I love that.
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:15.359
But I want to know why she didn't tell her that in the beginning of the movie, but anyway, that's why we're here to go on a journey, yes.
00:31:15.439 --> 00:31:23.839
But that's why we're here to tell you in the beginning of the movie before you try to go down the yellow brick road and go meet the wizard, you don't gotta do all that, it's already in you.
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:37.439
I love that absolutely, and that that's actually my um driving force right now is to tell people they don't have to have the breakdown to have the breakthrough at any moment and any time.
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:39.759
You can stop and choose.
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:42.639
Yeah, yeah.
00:31:42.959 --> 00:31:43.919
I love it.
00:31:45.919 --> 00:31:56.559
Some of us have to get there to the you know, some of us are are bad listeners, so we had to learn the hard way, but don't be like us, like just listen to us because we already did it the hard way.
00:31:58.639 --> 00:32:03.679
You can just step into your Ruby slippers and and just soar right over the yeah.
00:32:04.959 --> 00:32:06.879
We're just trying to save you some time.
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:07.519
