I hope that you're all well.

As you know by now, my name is Mart Tweedy, I'm your host, and today I'm chatting with spiritual mindset, manifestation, and abundance self-proclaimed queen Jack Scott Lee.

Jack, how are you? Hi, Queen with a K.

Yes, Queen with a K indeed.

How are you? I'm really good, thank you. I remember we talked about scheduling this in and I was like, yeah, we'll do it today. It's going to be a full moon on my zone. You can either go two ways, but I'm looking into it, you know, you were talking about, um, the Lionsgate portal and being in Aquarius and all this sort of stuff. So this is about connections, about friendships, about community. So I thought actually it would be a great day to do it, you know.

So yeah, yeah, I'm just glad to have you here as well. So Jack, do you want to start by kind of introducing yourself to the listeners. Just tell us a bit about your spiritual journey and how you are where you are today.

Yes, so, uh, my spiritual journey, I guess, like, a bit like yours, you know. There's been, like, all throughout my life moments of contrast which have kind of, like, reaffirmed and strengthened my spiritual belief. So, like, growing up, you know, I was always really different to my peers, my community, you know. Growing up as a British Asian guy, a gay guy as well, you know, and I was always really different, into alternative music, how I look, how I dress. And I was very much into like tarot and astrology because my grandparents and their parents were very much spiritual too. And I really got into it through that really, just really exploring it through there and wanting to like not fit in so much, but just be me and do me. And alongside that, just being really spiritual too, you know. So I was really much into tarot and astrology growing up and obviously from coming from an Asian background, it wasn't really the done thing, you know, especially as a British Asian. And my parents were like, not strict, strict, but they wanted me to, you know, either be a solicitor or a doctor. I was like, well, I don't want to be that. I want to dance, I want to create, I want to be spiritual, I want to be tattooed. And because I was really vibrant as a child, my light was so bright, I didn't want to dim that for anybody, really, you know. And I had a lot of contrast growing up. I left home very early. And I just went about living my life and I became a hairdresser first, being of service still in a different kind of way and becoming really successful with that as well. I had my own business, made a ton of money. And with that, I was living this whole, like, what I thought I should be doing. Because we should be doing, we should be settling down, we should be buying a house, we should be all these ticklists. I was doing all the things and I was just not happy. I was like, I'm doing all this stuff, but I'm not happy actually. I'm making a ton of money. I've got a gorgeous car, house, boyfriend, all this sort of stuff. And actually deep inside I was unfulfilled. I wanted to dance, I wanted to do something which is more than. And I was meeting these really incredibly rich people who I was doing their hair and stuff. And I was like, well, I just don't feel fulfilled. I was being of service, giving so much of myself to people and yet not feeling nourished myself. You know what I mean? And all throughout that I was reading like The Secret and Law of Attraction, printing off my check and writing how much I wanted. Not like getting too deep with it because I wasn't really savvy with it yet, you know what I mean? And then I'd met some really cool people who I'd become friends with and I was like, every weekend I was partying, meeting loads of people and living this lifestyle which I thought was gonna, you know, which I was supposed to be doing. Actually, I was surrounded by people that, you know, were not on my level, not my wavelength, all yes people. And I was just like, you know, just living each day today. And then one of my dearest friends, really close friend of mine, suddenly passed away of cancer. And it kind of hit home to me that she was someone who I really looked up to and really, you know, one of my close friends. And she was very much about, you know, be true to yourself, live true to you, don't give a shit about what anyone thinks, and you're only here once. And, you know, she died really young. And after that, I was like, you know what, you know, we're not untouchable. Bad things happen to everybody, it doesn't matter if you're good or bad, we're all human. And we're not exempt from life, you know. And after that I was like, you know what, we're here for a short time, but I want to do what lights me up. So I was like, you know, I want to be a dancer, but look at how old I am. People tell me, no, you can't do this, you can't do that. People tell me no, no, no, all throughout my life, you know. And I was like, well, I don't hear no. I don't want to hear no. I want to hear how I can do it. How can I make this happen through, you know. And without subconsciously realizing, I was visualizing all the time, manifesting through my thoughts and the yes, I can do it, you know, 'cause no one could tell me no. No is only your limitation of how you want to visualize it. You know what I mean?

Yeah.

So I jacked in this perfect lifestyle of like, you know, stunning house, car, money, partner, jacked it all in, moved to Ibiza to find myself, you know, took all my crystals, all that stuff. And so I'd say like, I'd spoken to someone about a dance audition and people saying to me, "At your age, you can't do that. You know, you're crazy. You know, you're having a breakdown." Well, maybe I am actually. And so anyway, I'd messaged someone I'd met at a dance class and she was like, yeah, I'm here already. I'm having a great time. You can stay at my sofa. It's not as glamorous as your house, but you know. I'd arrived and within like a week I'd gotten all the auditions I wanted to go to. I'd confirmed my dance jobs and I'd met some amazing people. And before you knew it, a month later I was living like in this stunning penthouse overlooking the ocean. And this is not to say that there was loads of moments of breakdown. You know, there's a lot of tears, a lot of, you know, because people think, oh yeah, I want to manifest all this great stuff, which of course you can. But as you know, with that comes shadow work and releasing parts of you that are no longer serving you anymore. And when you reach for your goals and your dreams and your desires, it's about letting go of your old story and being uncomfortable. And with that comes this uncertainty, this doubt. There's like, shit, where am I going to go next? Because we don't know the answer all the time. We have to just trust the universe and go forwards. You know what I mean?

I was going to say, so it sounds like you've had quite a lot of limiting beliefs there, like, placed on you from other people as well. Yeah, telling you, you know, you're not able to do that, you can't be a dancer, you can't do this, you can't do that. So how do you overcome those limiting beliefs? What is it that you do? Because you said that you kind of just released it and let it, like, go, basically. But have you overcome those limiting beliefs?

I think looking back now, all the things I've done, I wish I'd done them sooner. But of course, everything happens in divine timing, right?

Yeah.

But now I'm like, okay, so that's your story. And for me, when I was listening to other people, there are people's opinions, you know, of course they want to keep you safe, your friends, your family, you know, they just want you to be okay and be safe because they don't want you to be hurt, of course, you know. And people have their own interests, you know, your partner, for example, and your friends, whatever. And actually, ultimately, no one knows what's right for you apart from you. And deep down, you know that too. But we're so conditioned to be like, okay, well, I want to I don't want to upset my partner. I don't want to piss off my friends. I don't want to earn more money than my parents. You know, and we learn all these stories about money, confidence, what you deserve from people who didn't know any better because their parents didn't tell them any better. You know what I mean?

Yeah, 100%.

And it's like, actually, you get to write your own story and you can change your own story anytime. You know, I've rewritten my story by chapter, whatever, like all the time. And sometimes I look back and think, oh, do you really want that? I can change my story. You know what I mean? That's fine. Like, you don't need to be I always say I want to make these t-shirts say I'm a recovering perfectionist, you know, because we're— everything has to be perfect. Well, that's so boring.

Yeah.

I want to look back at my life and, oh yeah, everything was perfect to the end. Yeah. Imagine that. Because actually, right, people are here to learn, make mistakes, and through that we become who we're supposed to be, you know. And there's plot twists all the time. So when you ask me about your spiritual journey, I feel like whenever there's been contrast and darker moments, or, you know, despair or whatever, it's kind of really dramatic. That's when my spirituality has been even more affirmed, because that's when you get to practice it, you know. It's that, you know, when everything's going great, oh yeah, law of attraction, amazing, 111, 1111, actually that's great, of course. But you know, your faith really is when, um, the chips are down, and that's when it really counts, I think, you know. When you actually really— when you surrender, but you need to surrender some more.

Yeah, I always say that. Yeah, have you let go?

I don't think you've let go enough yet.

So Jack, are we okay talking about what happened to you some years ago because I know you had a near-death experience, didn't you?

That's right, yeah. And, um, it wasn't until years later that I realized how significant it was. But yeah, so, um, oh, it was. And then I remember the day I, um, I was like, oh God, I really don't want to go into that. I don't want to do— I just had something inside me thinking I still want to go into it. I don't want to do what I'm doing. Then I felt really guilty because, you know what, I'm doing all these things. I'm leaving my purpose, leaving my dream. I've given up my, um, my old business. I've put that to bed. My new story, I'm living my best life. I've manifested a dance studio, manifested a dream career. And yeah, I'm like, I thought, you know what, even when you're living your dream, you're allowed to be tired. You're allowed to have days where you need to rest. But at the time I was like, go, go, go, make loads of money, do all the things, you should be so grateful, which I obviously am. But you know, we have to honor that just because you're living your purpose, you're allowed to actually not want to do it 24/7 as well. So anyway, that day I had like a show rehearsal for a show and If you don't know, I'm a professional pole dancer and circus aerialist. I get paid to fly around in the air on hoops, silks, flying poles, trapeze, all these things, poles, what have you. And I was doing a rehearsal on the hoop and I just— the act of doing it millions and millions of times with my eyes closed, you know, the thing, and I just landed really funny and I literally landed on my neck and broke my neck. And I think when it happened, I didn't think that I'd broken it at all. I was like, oh yeah, I'm going to be fine. My friend was like, you have to get this checked out. I was like, And this is about, again, hustle culture. I'm a Capricorn moon. We're all about money, money, making money, being of service, you know, going after your goals and very much about, you know, getting down to business, more Cap moon. And then we got into the hospital and I was like, look, this has happened, you know, it's not a big deal. I'm really busy. I've got a show to do. They were like, just stunned. Like I just fell off a hoop backwards doing a backflip and all this stuff, you know, landed on my neck. And I said, it's a bit sore on my arms, neck feels all right, as you can see. They're like, look, if you're actually okay, we'll let you go. So and they'd scanned me and all this stuff, and they'd come back with that serious— I was like, what can I go? Because I've got loads to do this week. I'm so busy, I've got shows, comps, all this sort of stuff, costumes, everything. I haven't got time for this, it's a major inconvenience being here. It's a Friday night, you know. And they're like, hi, Mr. Scully, so you've actually broken your neck, we'll have to put you flat out, you're allowed to move and get someone to put a neck brace on you. This is really serious. And I was like, shit, this just sounds really serious. Everyone around me is really serious, you know. My family just turned up and they closed all the curtains, they were talking about me. I was like, why are you talking about me? I'm not even here, I'm not dead, I'm still here. And they were like, they couldn't figure out as to the damage that happened to me because they're saying, you should be dead, but you're not. I was like, well, that's fine. Well, I need to be not here and alive very much so and still go about my business, you know what I mean? And I had to wait for ages to get specialist in, and I basically, I was not allowed to move. I've gone from being so independent, so busy, doing all the things, you know, to literally lying here on the bed. I wasn't allowed to move, I was staring at the ceiling tile, and there was a moment of, oh my God, what's gonna happen? And my sister, who is also one of my best friends, she said to me, all this, all that, she said to me, I remember she grabbed my, so strong, she grabbed my arm, she went, all that shit that we believe in, this is your time to practice it. And she had to go because it was like, you know, visiting hours, what have you. And I thought, yeah, she's right, you know. And that was it. I thought, well, yeah, we preach about, you know, I am this, I am that affirmations and gratitude and, you know, visualizing and healing. And, you know, well, this is the time to do it, you know. I have all the time in the world now, so, you know what I mean? And yeah, so that night I was laying in bed and I had my Archangel Michael meditation music on and I was just like sat there, laid down, machines going off. All of a sudden, someone came into the room and he's like, "Oh, are you, are you, how are you? You all right? Do you want to go for a walk?" Because I'm not really supposed to move, but I'm an Aquarius, I'm a rebel, of course I'm going to move. So I walked, I got out of bed and I looked back at the bed and I could see myself, you know, and I was like, "Hold on a minute, what's going on?" You know, and he's like, "I'm Archangel Michael and I'm just coming to just let you know that everything's going to be fine. You know, like, you've got so much work to do. This is not the end for you. This is just the beginning. Like, he held me. He was like, you know, you're going to be absolutely fine. You know, you've got so much to give to the world that actually this is not even the end for you. This is so the beginning, you know. And we went for a walk and stuff and came back into the room again. And I just— I get back in my body, I suppose, you know. And when I started to tell people, oh, you was really high on drugs, you know, they're giving you all this sort of stuff. I have not had anything at this point. I've literally just got into hospital. So, and that's when the work began. I thought I started to listen to Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life, you know, I love that book, but listen to those ones. And, and then she mentioned about citrine, how she used citrine to heal herself from cancer, you know, citrine. So I didn't realize it's a really powerful healing stone as well as, you know, self-love, self-confidence, all that sort of stuff. I always used it for money and abundance. And so I was in my surgery meditating, visualizing healing health, you know, visualizing myself back to health again, walking again, being able to move, being able to wash myself. And every morning I'd set a routine for myself to, okay, I'm going to set my alarm and do my I Am affirmations. I am healthy, I am well. Do you practice gratitude? All the things I'm grateful for, be thankful. And I was laughing, joking, made so many friends on the ward. In the end, they were like, 'You're so positive that we're gonna have to move you because you're in intensive care at the moment and there's so many people— your injury is very serious, you know, you're not allowed to move.' But there were people around me who were not on that vibe, you know.

Yeah.

And they moved me in the end just because I was having people visiting me, I was laughing a lot, shaking a lot. I said, 'Look, I'm lying here being miserable and being angry and being upset isn't gonna get me any better, actually, you know, it really isn't.' What I was going to do, so I was just focused on, okay, I'm— this is not my story, I'm gonna get well because I'm not going to be able to dance again, I'm not going to be able to walk again, this and the other, you know. And they moved me and I didn't focus on that, I focused on, well, I'm going to get out of this bed, I'm going to walk, I'm going to be able to get back to my life and do even better things, you know. And within weeks they'd moved me to the specialist hospital, they'd found an amazing surgeon, and yeah, I'd had my surgery and literally within 48 hours I was walking back home again and doing that, back to my normal life, you know what I mean. They said to me, you are amazing, you've literally defied everything, you know. You're, you're literally miracle, you know what I mean. And, uh, yeah, but to me it was like, well, this is, you know, this is me doing me, living my life by the principles that I've always did, but just practicing them and showing other people to do, you know.

That's absolutely mad that you had an out-of-body experience though as well and saw yourself just lying there.

I talk about it so casually, like, yeah, I left my body, came back.

That's amazing. I didn't know it was so serious in terms of like actually breaking your neck. Yeah.

But you know what, when that happened, when I had that experience, I felt so at peace. Yeah. And so it is. And once he'd said that to me, you know, and he appeared to me as a he, as a, you know, as I envisioned it on my— I've got like these Arcangel Michael cards and he appeared to me in those images because I was doing cards all the time in hospital. I do my daily card of the day, every day in hospital, you know, every morning for my friends who are around me and stuff. And, you know, just keeping my vibe positive. You know what I mean? So when he appeared to me, I had no doubt. You know, everything's going to be okay. You know, I really didn't. And then I was doing my meditation stuff. And I remember one night I'd had like, I'd woken up to my sleep and I was surrounded by like loads of little, like it looked like loads of little lights. And actually it was all loads of angels. And there was a Mother Mary figure at the end of the bed. At first it was kind of frightening. And then I said to my sister, can you order me some like Mother Mary cards? I've seen some actually. Because I had a vision on, you know, I was lying here and I feel like I want to do work with that, you know what I mean? So we got the cards and stuff for me and I started to do a lot of healing work through that Archangel Raphael, do all that sort of stuff. And actually, it's not until recently that I got back to working with angels again. I was reading, it was one of Emma Mumford's books, and she was talking about, I think it's Positive Wealth, actually. She had a day about angel work. I'm like, I haven't done that for such a long time. And, uh, we talk about spiritual practice and daily practice, you know, it can change all the time. You know what, I'm gonna go back into that again. In the last few weeks, I've been really getting back into working with angel energy, and I've used my selenite, uh, you know, connect to the angel energy again because it's been such a long time. And it's been really cool.

Yeah, it is definitely something that I need to like get into more detail about because I don't really know much about angels and archangels, but it is definitely something that I'm really interested in.

That's kind of how it started really, I suppose. And then, um, that really me through that whole chapter of my life, you know what I mean? And when he said to me about, you know, this is the start for you, I was like, you know, when I look back now, I'm like, you know what, since that, since that, when that actually happened, spirituality became a massive part of my life. I had created a whole morning practice which included like, you know, EFT, affirmations, visualizing my day, all this sort of stuff, and then manifesting like, you know, not only a new business and you have a partner, all this sort of stuff. And actually, you know what it was? A lot of people, this would have been the end. And people are, oh yeah, this has happened to you, this is the end for you, what are you going to do now? And actually I thought, well, this is not the end for me, this is the beginning actually. Yeah. And yeah, it's been like, I guess it's been only 10 years now since that happened.

Yeah, it's good that you've turned it all around though. I noticed on your website as well, Jack, that you obviously work with astrology as well. So I just wanted to know like how you incorporate astrology kind of into your daily life practices and how would my listeners go about like doing that kind of thing as well?

I love astrology. It's one of my huge passions. I have— I do a lot of astrology readings for my clients to help them navigate their lives. Your birth chart is so personal just to you and it gives you so much information.

You know, I'm Aries in every single house.

Oh really?

Do you know your big 3?

Triple Aries.

Oh my God. So you are in my 7th house. So this would be like relationships and like really like 7th house— people always think your 7th house is always going to be your partner, but actually your 7th house rules things like all your relationships, whether that be through work, business, friendship, family, you know. Yeah. So for me, I'm a Libra rising, I'm an Aquarius Sun and a Capricorn Moon, so I'm very much air. But yeah, um, I love reading people's charts and giving them advice because you have all these amazing tools within you that unlock, you know, so much— some of your hidden talent you're born with, you know. There's all sorts of about your, your love, your love language, your love style, your abundance activation. And I love working with people's charts. I did. I worked with someone recently and they were— they came to me because they were like at a crossroads in their life. They're going through what we call a Saturn return, you know, and if you don't know, your Saturn return is really a time for you, you know, where it can like really put you on the right path or the, you know, you go through a lot in Saturn return, you know, to put you on the path you're meant to be. And I said to my client, I said, looking at your chart, you know, I feel like you should be doing this career, you know, not the one that you're in, because you have an amazing fifth house, which is all to do with entrepreneurship. And have you ever thought about doing, you know, working in this particular industry? And he's like, I would love to do it, I haven't got the guts to do it. I said, well, if you were to do it, you know, I feel like you would really be abundant. You know, you're working in the call center at the moment, that's great because you've got a really good third house of communication. However, You've got this amazing 5th house. If you set up your own business doing— and I said to him, something to do with working with your hands because there's Mars involved, there's Chiron, there's, you know, some do electricity and DIY. He's like, yes, I want to start my electrical company. Anyway, fast forward 2 years, he's now working with celebrities on tour with people like, you know, Florence and the Machine. He's on tour with loads of famous people now. Making so much money, his life's completely changed, you know what I mean? And this is just from having like a birth chart reading, you know. And I love using astrology. For me personally, I love doing what we call a lunar return, so you can look at your month every month and check out what's going to happen for you. And if you don't know how to do that, it's so simple. You can go on to a free website like astro.com or AstroSeek and put in your birth details. It'll give you your chart, you know. Obviously, if you want more information, you want to contact some astrologer like myself or somebody else to delve deep and give you your, what we call, a lunar return or a solar return, your solar return will let you know so much information about your year ahead. I was working with a client recently and they'd actually gone away for their birthday. I thought, this will change your entire birth year, your solar return. And it worked out that even though they traveled across the world for their birthday, that they'd managed to almost manifest a similar chart. So I said, like, you know, you're going to have like a really pivotal year because you've traveled all that across the world for your birthday and your, your solar return can be exactly the same as when you were in, you know, your home time, which is very, very rare. So she's like, they're having like a really pivotal year where, you know, they're going to be meeting like their life partner and changing careers and, you know, having some really pivotal years. It's a great tool to have. I use astrology to plan my wedding date. We call it electional astrology, to get the best day you can. If you want to be really superficial, I say to people, if you want to get your hair done, the best time to have your hair done when the moon is in like Pisces or Libra or Taurus, don't go in. It's like, you know, something like that goes okay, I guess, you know, or Capricorn or something like that, because you can do, you know, it's a great time to beautify, you know. At the moment we've got Venus retrograde, so we tell people don't change your hair, don't get your boat up, wait till September, because, you know, nothing new, you know, wait till September if you can, you know.

Yeah, I love it. So in terms of the law of attraction, because I know you mentioned that at the start and you're a big manifestor and things like that, what's one of the best What's one of the best things that you've kind of manifested and what kind of tips do you have for all the listeners of using the law of attraction?

So with law of attraction, there's so many different ways you can do this, and I think it's like never-ending or ongoing. So I say it's like something that you want to— you want to incorporate into your life. You know, people say, yeah, I want to manifest £1 million, and then they'll put it to the back burner. Oh, it hasn't worked. I want to manifest my dream partner. You know, I was working with someone on a coaching client, you know, and they were like, "What am I doing?" I said, "Oh, what are you doing? You know, are you practicing self-love? Are you going out? Are you leaving the house? You know, are you hoping they're gonna break into your apartment? You know, what are you doing?" They were like, "Well, I'm not leaving the house." And we joked about it. Okay, so for me, for example, you know, before I met my partner and stuff, I went to go on this huge self-love journey where I was like loving myself and, you know, nourishing myself and being there for myself, you know. So I was like take myself on dates, beautify myself, cooking nice meals for me, you know, because, you know, love starts from within, you know. And I was saying to my clients, you're not leaving the house, you're going to bed in your Harry Potter pajamas, you're not doing your makeup, you know. What are you telling the universe, that you're not good enough? For what? What are you waiting— what are you waiting for? You know, wear your dress, buy the shoes, you know, do the things that fill you up too. Because ultimately, you know, you want to love yourself before you expect that from anybody else, because your partner's not gonna nourish you or fill you up. It's not their job to do that, you know. It's your to do that today. You know, it's a never-ending task otherwise, you know what I mean? But as far as manifestation goes, I love to use every morning and tell people, oh, that's, you know, that's so boring. But be thankful and grateful every morning. I love to wake up, I turn on my voice recording on my app on my phone and I'm not— sometimes I write it, but I prefer to speak. I love to talk and I will talk about all the things I'm grateful for. I'll record into my phone, into my voice notes, and then I'll talk about my day like it's already happened in past tense. So like today, for example, I said I had a gorgeous breakfast, I did my spiritual practice, I had an amazing interview with Mart Tweedy from Crank Your Skills. Everything went really, really well, we connected really cool, everything went swimmingly well. I kept myself open to joy and abundance. And then I'll talk about manifestation that's already happened. So I'm saying my absolute certain future is that I have a stunning villa, I have gorgeous cars, I have a great family, millions of followers, my bank balance is absolutely, you know, popping off. And yeah, talking about it, getting excited about it, because actually it's about the vibration of being in joy, of happiness, and being excited about your life and all the things in it already. Because then when you— once you're in that vibration of feeling good, you're allowing the universe to actually co-create with you to allow more abundance in. Because no matter— there's not going to be any amount of money in your bank account, or any partner, or any, uh, specific clothing label, or perfume, or food, whatever it is, it's gonna make you happy if you're not happy where you are now, you know what I mean? You get you get to choose that joy now. And I was talking about when I was in hospital, I was choosing to be joyous and grateful in that moment because there's going to be things happening to you every single day, whether you believe in gratitude, law of attraction, what have you. Shit's gonna happen all the time, and it's up to you how you navigate that, how you respond to it. And I think that when you're, you know, like yourself, preaching about positivity, gratitude, law of attraction, and feeling good, we have the absolute right to do that. And that's not to say you're exempt from feeling like, you know, feeling like rubbish. Like for me, you know, especially with the lunar cycles, when we have a full moon, I do feel low vibe, I do feel tired, I don't want to talk to anybody, you know, I just want to, you know, just switch off. But then I do have the tools to be okay, that's how I feel right now, what can I do to make me feel better? So this morning, for example, I knew I was a bit tired and stuff, so I had my favorite playlist. I think I was talking about in the community about how I feel good. So I was playing my Immaculate Collection Madonna, dancing around the house, doing my makeup, getting in a vibe, get my pink lighting on, I've got my crystal, my moldavite, what have you, to get myself feeling good. Because we have the tools to do that, you know. And so often, I don't know what people do every morning. They just wake up and think, right, shit, what's my to-do list for today? I've got a great job that I hate, I hate my boss, you know, all this, whatever, my to-do list. And they just go through life like that. Actually, you get to carve out 30 minutes in your day, whatever, 10 minutes or whatever it is, to focus on better thinking thoughts, because just because you think it doesn't mean it's going to be true, you know. So you get to— you have the power to choose.

I love that, you know.

So on—

when we first spoke as well, you mentioned about counseling therapy, I think it was. So what is counseling therapy? Because I've never heard of that. So how can that kind of help us call in our manifestations?

Yeah, so part of— part of my spiritual journey, I'm trying to be a counselor as well, and I'd love to learn with that. I'd love to use EFT with this too. Because part of me, one of the things that I learned through my course and stuff was actually that we get to choose, you know, our thoughts. And actually with counseling, and I've had therapy myself too, and it's such a great tool that you, we can honor the negativity, we can honor, you know, like I said to you before, we don't have to be perfect. And we can honor— and this is why I love tapping as well. I tap every single morning and all throughout the day if I need to on specific things, on manifestation, or, you know, if I'm not feeling too great, and I like, and I like, I I love, should I say, the fact that with EFT, unlike other practices within manifestation or attraction, is that we get to say, you know what, yeah, I do feel, I do feel like I don't deserve this, or, you know, even though I feel I'm not ready, even though I feel less than, even though I don't feel gorgeous right now, I accept myself, I love myself, and I forgive myself. And that's like hands-on therapy, right? Like, actually, yeah, you know what, I don't, this is how I feel, but I have the power to change that. But I'm acknowledging it too, because sometimes I feel like when I first when I started out with Law of Attraction, I don't know if you can agree with this, that was like, oh yeah, I need to be positive all the time. I can't think anything bad because bad things are going to happen. Dumbag, I get it, my mind's delicate.

You just want to keep your vibe as high as possible, don't you?

Yeah, actually, no, we're human. I think that I read this really cool quote, I say all the time, that I think it's something like, pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? It's like, actually, yeah, what things are going to happen to you, and we can acknowledge that and be like, hey, you know what, This is how I feel. Where is that coming from? Wherever I learned that, you know, when I was going back and dating again, I was like scared to put myself out there. Well, why is that? Because of situations in the past. But actually I get to decide who I am now and who I am is beautiful. I love myself who I am now and I'm going to attract loving partners and loving relationships. You know, I was speaking to a friend of mine, I always attract, you know, this sort of person. I said, well, you're saying that, you're manifesting it. You know, actually you have attracted that because that was who you were in the past and you're doing the work, honey. So you get to decide again who you want to attract, you know what I mean? And then also taking inspired action. Yeah, 100%.

So if I said to you, you could go back in time and tell your younger self one bit of information— it could be advice, could be information— what would you tell them?

I would say to them, because I do— okay, so emotional today, I think it's the full moon energy— that I love— I did like a really this, um, inner child meditation where I visualize my inner child and I go up to them and like hug them and I tell them what they need to hear. And it's been so life-changing, it really has. I don't give a shit, it's so good. I do all the time, especially when I, I need it. Um, you know, because I would, I'd say to them, you know what, you are enough and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, basically. You know what I mean? You can do and be and achieve anything you want to, you know. You get to write your own story, you get to be unique, fabulous, colorful, whatever you want to be, you know, because you're to be different, and that's okay. You don't need to be anybody else. We all, we all have it within us, you know. And we spend so often trying to fit in and play small and all this bullshit stuff. Actually, it really doesn't matter. Be you, do you, inspire others to do that too. Because when you do that, you attract people on your vibe, on your wavelength. And yeah, but that is it.
