So as we dive into the episode, you might want to get some pen and paper. You want to really, really be present for this episode because the things that Bernadette shares with clearing your blocks and imprinting energy, I feel like it helped every person on this podcast who's listening wherever you are. So Bernadette Gold, welcome to the Reinvent You Podcast. I am— I know people are going to be like, you say that a lot, but I really, really mean it today. I'm so stoked for this conversation because meeting someone else that I consider high performance, you know, I feel like you've mastered a lot of things. You've mastered not settling for the ordinary. How about that? So Bernadette, welcome to the Reinvent You Podcast. I'm excited for this conversation.

Thank you. Thanks for having me. I'm excited too.

Absolutely. So tell you what, to give our— my listeners some context as to who Bernadette is, can you give us a quick Cliff Notes version of your journey to actually becoming that badass that I read about you as today?

Wow, it's been a lifelong journey, and I'll just preface it by saying I don't know anyone who's a badass who hasn't been through hell, right? Like, life just has a way of molding us, and we get to choose, and I chose to be better than— better than the trauma, better than any kind of obstacle, better than any challenge. I rose to the occasion and just shows. Like, this isn't going to kill me.

I'm going to rise up.

And it's worked out for me. Thank God.

Wow. You know, you say it so simply. And I know as coaches, we think, you know, you can choose. But many people don't realize that it's that simple. How were you able to make it so simple that you could just choose to not be a victim?

I had— I mean, I had something in me. Obviously, I think it says in your show notes, I'm a clairvoyant, you know. And so I had a whole team on the other side helping me along that nobody else could see. And while that was— it created its own challenges, it also gave me the feeling that I was never alone, right? Yeah. So I was able to kind of keep going, although there were times when I was like, You're letting me down. Like, what is this showing up now? You know, when my, my daughter was molested when she was 3, which put me in a spin. Yeah, well, she's 29 now, so we got through it. But, you know, I, I'm not gonna lie, there was a moment that I wanted to kill him first, and that wasn't gonna work. Then I wanted to kill myself because I couldn't face it, and I had so much guilt and shame, and Ah, and then I was like, well, she only got one parent left. Yeah, so I guess I'm gonna have to rise to the occasion, and I did.

Wow, so that is incredible. Oh my goodness. So as a clairvoyant, when did you realize you had that gift? Like, at what age?

Um, the first memory I have of it is around 4 years old because that's about as far back as I can remember.

Right. And then, oh my goodness, what does that look like as a 4-year-old? I mean, like, when I think of clairvoyant, I mean, I'm not clairvoyant, so I go, oh, she can see into the future, and if someone says something, she knows if they're lying or not.

So I have— I'm, I'm what they call multi-gifted. Like, I'm a clairvoyant, a clairaudient, meaning I can see and sense, I can hear, um, and yes, I'm I'm claircognizant. I know things without knowing how I know things, right? Um, and I'm a medium, so I can see spirits on the other side, spirits who've crossed over. I can see, you know, yeah, guides, stuff like that. So I got in trouble for it, a lot of trouble. Yes, my mother was very, very afraid of my gifts because my— and I didn't find out this until I was in my 30s— my My dad's mom was a psychic. She was a healer in Hawaii. Well, she warned my dad not to marry my mom. So of course my mom didn't like her and she was terrified of all those things. And I guess I was saying things I shouldn't have been saying. And so she brought the priest when I was 5 and she's, you know, they were trying to do some weird like exorcism thing or something while I was watching cartoons. And my guides were like, just watch the 'Watch the TV, just watch the TV,' you know. And, and I just sat there, and from then on, I, I started to bury it. I realized that not everybody could see what I was seeing, not everybody could hear it, and that you can get in a lot of trouble if you keep it up.

So, oh my goodness, like, this is so— like, I'm just so intrigued by this whole topic. And, you know, so Oh goodness, I got 80 more questions for you, Bernadette. Just so— the fact that you are a clairvoyant, does that help you increase your level of certainty because you can see the future and how the thing is going to work out if you do that action?

I wish that I could say yes, but honestly, it works better when I'm using it for other people. Than it does for me if I'm emotionally attached to something. So, you know, if I'm emotionally attached to something or if I have a lesson I have to learn with someone, it's like the blinders go on and I don't know anything. I'm just a mere mortal, right?

Okay.

Every— everyone else, um, and people ask me that, like, couldn't you see that that relationship was going to fall apart? No, that would take the joy right out of life. My gifts work really well when I'm in danger. It's saved my life many a times. My gifts work really well when I'm not in an emotional place at all. You know, if— you know how we want something, you meet someone and your, your hormones kick in, and no amount of intuition or gifts are gonna override that. You're like, I gotta have that, that's the worst thing for me, but I have to have that. Yeah, it doesn't work for that. So I wish I could say it did, but it doesn't.

Okay, wow. So, oh my goodness, so I'm just so intrigued by this. You know, I am a person who believes that everything happens for a reason. And so my mother— today is my mother's birthday, and well, and she's in heaven, and there was something— okay, okay, okay, okay.

She's like, no, I'm not. I'm right here. You just can't see me. Yeah, she was a tough one too, eh? Tough, like tough lady. Yeah, yeah, she's coming through and she's like, I'm right here. Not in heaven. She's not somewhere out in the clouds. She's literally right there, right behind you.

What is she doing?

She's tapping her foot and laughing. She's funny though. Like, she's a tough— she was a tough lady. Her energy comes through as just, you do not mess with that woman.

It's so—

not mess with her.

It's so true. Oh my goodness. Yeah.

And she loves you.

Really?

She does.

Yeah.

I get— I— so all, all transparency, she, she does this thing like she's showing me, you know, I, I have great love and respect for you. That didn't always translate. Like, there's a shame that's like a drop the head. It didn't always translate when I was alive. But here's the thing, when people pass, pass over, cross over, they remember who they are. They get the life review and get to see where they didn't live up to their own divinity, where they didn't express unconditional love. They're always much nicer when they're on the other side. Literally, I prefer dead people over living because they're they're awake, you know, they're aware. So there is this like almost an apology, like, and she wants to— she wanted me to see she was a tough lady, meaning tough to please, right? Tough to live up to the expectations. And I think one of, one of the reasons she's bringing that through is so you know she wasn't easy. Yeah, yeah.

You know, one of the things— oh my goodness, this is such a different direction here. One of the things that I appreciate you saying that so much, thank you for that, because one of the things I always wanted to know is, is if she was proud of me. And so by you saying that, it just gives me so much more peace.

She's around you a lot. She peeks in on you a lot. Yeah. So happy birthday, Mom.

Happy birthday, Mom.

But you know, she is saying she did pass that don't mess with me thing on to you.

She did.

So, well, it was hard to live with, but I gave it to you.

Yes, you did. Wow, perfect. So, so how does this gift— because it's an amazing gift that you have— how do you use this gift to work with your clients, your clients, in the work that you do today?

Ah, so because I've been through so much, um, I studied theology, I studied theosophy, I studied philosophy, I studied psychology. Um, I have studied energy work and obviously all the spiritual stuff that I could get my hands on. Yeah, but I grew up, you know, I'm 54, so I grew up in the days where, A, being a psychic wasn't exactly embraced. It's only been the last maybe decade, two decades, you know, 20 years. I've been in this job now professionally as a psychic and a coach for over 21 years, but prior to that It was tough, but because I've been through things like the molest of my child, my own traumas, you know, being abused and being in codependent relationships with abusers and narcissists and, and everyone under the sun, I'm able to really tune into people's trauma, the deepest parts that's hidden even sometimes from them. And without a lot of conversation, I'm not your normal coach or spiritual counselor, right? Like, you come and see me and you've been to therapy for 10 or 20 years, and this is the story of a lot of my clients. And we sit down and immediately I can start to tell you where you're blocked. And now bring it back up, and now we can walk through it. But the adult you walks through it, not the, you know, helpless victim child. And then we can put it back together. So it's just fast. It's like, I don't know, counseling on steroids.

Wow. You know, and as a coach myself, and I do— I deal a lot with subconscious reprogramming and going back in that time, a little timeline therapy. But I know that you have ways that you— like you're saying, you can do it much faster, like almost instantly, because of these gifts. So what would you say are the top 3 things that help you release those, those blocks that people have, you know, that are actually— that create the blocks first? For them and how do you help them release it?

So being able to, to really like be present for someone and see them is— and validate that you went through this, you know. Yeah, like see them. So many people are— have gone through trauma, nobody's acknowledged them, you know. And a lot of times it's so suppressed or repressed when someone like me comes in and looks at them and says, you have this thing. And there's a reason you have it, and this is strategy that you've developed, right? We can begin to talk about it, and then I use NLP and I use EFT, and I'm an amazing energy worker when it comes to actually flowing healing that they can feel no matter where they are in the world. They can feel it, and it just begins to release everything super fast.

Oh wow. Ah, wow. So can I be really, really practical and selfish right now?

Absolutely.

So I know I've been working really, really hard. I know I have a financial block. Part of it is, you know, I've been doing a little work, you know, like my mom's going, don't tell that, right? Because he's standing right here. But there are things, there are patterns that I repeated that I saw her do, like, you know, just payday loans, those types of things, check to check, robbing Peter to pay Paul, you know. And they're great lessons that I learned, but I did fall into that for a lot of my life, for many, many years. And now as a coach and trying to reach a different threshold, I— what is that, right, that Is something that I could do right now in my thought process or just something that goes, Travia, if you were to do this, release that financial thing, because for some reason I feel like it's easier to do it on other people. But for myself, I'm just having such a difficult time with it.

The number one thing for you personally is really look at the shame, the shame that you got stuck in that pattern. And that pattern actually has to do with punishment. Like shame and punishment play out. There's a pattern of punishment every time, you know, you start to get moving and get going. That memory is pulling on you. Those, those behaviors are pulling on you. And so the shame's like, don't make too much because then you're gonna have to relive that again. So release the shame. Really go into it and release the shame. But, you know, I mean We inherit not only our parents' money beliefs, our ancestral, and historical trauma is a thing, right? So your ancestors have into your DNA implanted without, you know, it's just the way it works. Like they didn't do it on purpose. They literally have implanted their money beliefs. So there's a lot of that in your energy field too. And there's a thing I keep hearing, like, who am I to think that I should be able to have massive money and success? Then doesn't that just make me greedy?

Your ancestors. So now, because you're saying all of that, I go, oh my God. Now, instead of just untethering from my mom, I now have to look at my grandmother, my great-grandmother.

And so you don't have to— okay, you don't have to look at it. Okay, no, you just need to understand that it's all of their beliefs coming in. So part of it is a little relieving, right, when we understand, like, okay, so this isn't just me that made these decisions. I took on the patterning and I took on the energy of the suffering with having money and being successful with my ancestors. Um, and I've punished myself, you know. Yeah, I repeated my mom's pattern and I punished myself. Yeah, because I didn't want to be like that. So I can acknowledge and accept I did that, but I can also forgive it.

Okay.

And I can figure her— and I can send love and blessings to my ancestors and vow that I will not carry this forward.

Wow.

It stops with me. That's it. That's all you have to do is claim your own power of choice. It stops here, right?

And how do you make sure you do that? Like, do you do it in relief writing? Do you write it down?

I do do a lot of writing with my clients. Absolutely. You know, you tell a new story. Sometimes it helps though, like, to take the time to meditate. And really ask, because you're— all the wisdom that you ever need, it's within you. You just have to access it, you know. And we all know somewhat our family history and our ancestors' history. I mean, I know my family, what they went through, both sides, like Filipino-Portuguese. Both of them were hit with colonization, you know, right?

Both of—

both sides of my family. And then my family in Hawaii were taken over and everything they had was removed. So I had to bring that into this life too. I get to deal with that, really? You know, which brings this fear of like— and it's an unconscious energy fear of the more I have, the more someone could come in and just take it. So why bother? Yeah, don't get on the radar, be invisible. Which, how do you be successful if you're not being visible? Right, all these self-sabotaging things. And so I went into meditation and I did a lot of journaling on that. I also do things like write letters to money to create partnership with money. Oh yes, and ask money to forgive me for, for projecting all my BS onto it.

Yeah, right. Oh, okay, because that's what—

money's neutral. Yeah, but money is a great reflector of what's going on internally. So literally, we project all of our stuff right onto money, you know, and then we're angry with money and we chase after money and we hate money, but we love money, we need money, you know, all of these conflicting things.

So I will—

I literally will write a letter to money and I'll apologize for not being a good steward, for projecting all my shame, blame, and guilt. For not feeling like we can have a relationship. Well, of course we can have a relationship. Money's here to supply me, support me, love me, wine me, dine me, take me on vacation. Different way to look at it.

Yes, it is. I love that. So someone's listening to this podcast right now and they've been in therapy for the last 12 years of their life, and they're— and they hear you say, you know, I can create breakthroughs in your life in a matter of sessions. Instead of taking 12 years, right? You do that, Bernadette.

It's an amazing thing. I, you know, tapping does a lot of good, but I, I'm not like your normal EFT tapper because I do have healing gifts. I have the ability to add all kinds of energy with tapping that just makes it super potent. I had a client, um, that came to me 4, 5 years ago. He'd been in therapy for 10 years, PTSD, you know. And I don't want to reveal much about his story, but he had a bad childhood, really traumatic childhood, and he was stuck in this PTSD event that just wouldn't end. For months he was crying and his relationship was falling apart. His girlfriend actually referred him to me, and he came to me and he said, I don't know why you're any different. I've been in therapy 10 years. I don't see how it's going to help. One session and we got his crying to stop. And all of a sudden, the next event didn't happen for 3 weeks. This is after suffering for a year. And then the second session, now we've gone a month and a half. Right. No event. You know, and it isn't just clearing this stuff. It is educating someone and giving them the tools Look, this is what you do when it starts to come apart, and this is how you shift. You know, I give, I give people tools, practical, applicable tools to their daily lives so that they can handle it and manage it. And before long, it's just a— it flips really quick. Yeah.

Wow. So that, I mean, and that is so good. So just the tools you're able to provide, these breakthroughs in a matter of sessions, you know. Like, I wish I had some of your gifts, you know. I wish I was a clairvoyant, all those things. And it's like, oh my goodness, I'm just so intrigued by it and how everybody has the ability.

So let me just tell you and all of your listeners this, you know. Everyone thinks because they weren't born with their gifts wide open that they're not able to tap their intuition. We are all intuitive. In fact, that's our natural state. What gets in the way is our analytical mind. The intuition resides in the same place the imagination resides. Yeah, which gets knocked out with what? Thinking, right?

Yeah, yeah.

So you remove that and you remove the, the programs of the ego, or the ego jumping in and chattering, suddenly you can access it. I bet you if you tried, really practiced, and just tried and went with the first thing you got it would grow and develop.

I've had a lot—

I work with a lot of PhD psychologists and counselors, and they want me to train, you know, teach me how to do what you do, right? Because they're my clients. I'm like, I can teach you, but you're gonna have to get out of your head. Forget what you know.

Yeah.

And most of them can't. Most of them can't. I mean, that's the problem, is that I've been taught to do it this way, and I love it because I'm not a licensed psychotherapist. I am not bound by the rules of the psychiatric board and all the— I don't have that. I can do whatever I want. And it really kind of, it has ticked a few people off. You can't do that. Can't I though?

Can't I though? I love that. You see, that's what I'm talking about. This is about confidence. That's what makes it easy for you, right? To earn money. That whole confidence, just everything about it is just coming. It's oozing from your pores.

I'm a Sag. Yeah, I'm a fire sign, and I am, I am someone who if you tell me I can't, not only am I going to, but I'm going to do it super fast just to prove you wrong. Always been like that.

So it's the reverse, it's the reverse motivation because now you want to prove people wrong. So would you say that is—

it's not so much about prove people wrong that I do that, it's to show people that your limitations are not mine. You go ahead and keep those, but keep them over there because I don't— I'm not going to own that, right?

So it's that the deciding factor that it's never been hard for you to earn money?

It's never been hard. Money is an easy thing for me to make. I'm not going to say it was always an easy thing to keep because I had my own income ceiling and patterning where I would make a ton of money and then something major, some major crisis would happen, and I'd lose it, have to start again. Yeah, right. Major as in like cancer, you know, things like that. Like I'd have to reboot it again. In fact, when my daughter was molested, I was just gifted from a total stranger— not total stranger, I guess. I was waitressing, I was in my 20s, and I helped his dad who was, uh, Alzheimer's patient. He got lost and came to sit in our restaurant, and I called his sister and said, hey, your dad's here, I'll keep an eye on him for you. And she was in a meeting, so the brother came from Saudi Arabia, and he just happened to be a very wealthy pilot for some Saudi Arabian sheikh. And he said— handed me the book Celestian Prophecy, and he said, thanks for taking care of my dad. Here, give this a read. I'll be back tomorrow for lunch. Let's talk about it. And we did, and he said, "What'd you think?" I said, "It's amazing." He goes, "If you could do anything just to do it, just to have fun, what would it be?" And back then I was writing songs and singing. Said I'd put a couple of my songs down and demo. He goes, "Give me your phone number, your address. I'm gonna wire you $10,000, and I want you to go into the studio and do that." just for fun, nothing has to come out of it. Well, I did all that, and the night I was in the studio, my daughter got molested. That was the first time that that pattern came out, right? And I had some stuff from my mom because she robbed Peter to pay Paul all the time. She claimed bankruptcy, I think, 5 times now, you know. She was constantly living beyond her means. So to have that kind of money flow into my life, at first it was shocking. And then I felt like I'm being a bad mom. And, you know, all that stuff happened. But within a couple years, I rebounded and began to really learn, okay, you don't have to live these patterns. And I cleared them. And then one thing after another, just kept making money. So now I can hold— now I can hold on to it. It's not— I have to wash it out because, oh my God, get rid of it, it's not good.

Right, right. Because it's not attached to something negative or something that you're not proud kind of thing.

I had to work through a lot of my beliefs. I mean, I really didn't like or have a good attitude about very wealthy people because, you know, my mom was well off, although it was— a lot of it was superficial, like status stuff. Yeah, you know, so how do I look, what do I drive, where do we live, blah blah blah. And I hated that, you know.

Wow. So In your, your bio, you talk about imprinting and activating a new energetic paradigm.

Yes.

What does that mean? Can you layman term that for me and my audience?

So obviously reprogramming, right, just happens normally, naturally, the work, the processes that I do. But I have— how do I put this? I have the ability to channel energy straight from the divine, right? And there are actual creation codes, there are abundance codes within the quantum field, the field of infinite possibilities. And when I flow those through to my clients, it imprints right into their energetic field. We each have our own energetic field, but when that field is clogged up with negative stuff We can't attract things to us. Our energy is too low. So we clear that first, and then I go and imprint the things that should have been there to begin with, because we're born fully resourced.

Absolutely.

Those things, it's just as time goes on, they leave. So I just put them back in, reignite them.

Wow, like a code. Everybody has a special—

everybody has a code. Yeah, I mean, we each have our own DNA, right?

Yeah.

And literally what I see when I'm doing it I see these energetic codes being layered into the person's DNA, like you are, at reactivated within their DNA.

It's like you have a personal line, a personal telephone line direct.

If only I could use it always for me, right? It just doesn't work that way. I actually have someone that I go to that can do the same thing that helps me with my stuff.

Right. Oh my goodness. So you help people with financial blocks.

Yes.

Emotional blocks.

Yes.

Right. So what does it take so that those blocks that are cleared actually end up like staying cleared, remaining clear? Like, how does that help that client to be healed from that and they don't have to come back to Bernadette in 2023 for that same thing?

So I have a process I take people through, literally a process that to work through the things. And I mean, you're a coach, you know this, it takes a month of consistent repetition to put some new stuff in. So once we clear out the old and stop telling that story, now we start to put the new beliefs in. And they're chosen beliefs. I'm not saying, hey, you need to believe this. They're telling me what they want to believe instead. And then we're creating a map and something that they will repeat over and over and over again for no less than a month.

Yeah. Oh, I love that because, yeah, that's a way that I actually work with my clients because I'm such a huge proponent for visualization. And yeah, so when you're talking about release writing, writing it down, I see the vision board, I see all of that, and I know that my modality I'm audio first. I used to think, oh, I'm kinesthetic, baby. I gotta do it. And I feel it, but something has to trigger me to do those things. And so doing that work, I was like, oh my goodness, I need to hear it first. Then I can feel it.

Mm-hmm.

And I recognize that sometimes when, like, sometimes I have, sometimes I jump from, I've gotta learn more information. I need this next course. I need this next thing. And so when people are like pitching me something, if they just email me, I will never buy. But my goodness, Bernadette, if they, if we got on the phone and said, Travia Steward, girl, this is the next best thing. You need this. And I go, okay, it's my credit card because I'm audible, you know? And so, oh my goodness, I love that. And I love, it's like having the codes. Right, and helping them heal on all levels. I love it.

It's writing too, though. You talk about being kinesthetic, and the one thing that Spirit Soul has told me, um, and taught me— like, I take people through the process I went through after my daughter was molested to rebuild my life. Yeah, this was the process, right? And I wrote a book, and then my clients were like, can you just teach us a class? It's too much, I can't get through it. So I, I teach workshops on it now too and teach people how to do it. But the one thing that Spirit always told me was, you have to write down, write it down, crystallize it. Think about the Bible. It has lasted for how many years?

Why?

It is written.

I'm like, it is written.

It is. And there's something about the minute we put it onto paper, now it's not just in our mind. We've now brought it into form in the third dimension. At least partially, and at least 2D. So now it just needs to manifest in our behaviors. But when we write, our egos get out of the way because we're physically doing something. But once it's on paper and you keep writing it— yeah, you're writing, you're reading, right? And you're doing a physical thing all at the same time, and you're declaring, this is my new story. And then eventually it just becomes like things start happening around you magically, and it's your message out to the universe, hey, I'm ready for this now. I'm done with the old story. I'm done with all of that trauma and drama. Yeah. Yeah.

So right now someone's listening and they're going, I got all these blocks. I got finance, I got emotional, I got physical blocks. I can't lose weight, I can't do these. What is a hack or a mindset that you could give them right now, like a quick win?

You are your own creator. You are the creator of your life. Stop telling yourself that you can't. Get rid of that word. Get rid of it. Honestly, our thoughts— and science is finally catching up with what we've known in the spiritual communities for years, right? Right. What you think and what your self-talk is going directly into your cells, into your— into your organs, into your bloodstream. You keep saying that you're sick and you're broke and I got all these— guess what? The universe always says yes.

Yes, always.

So you say it, the universe goes, ma'am, okay, here's some more evidence of that. Everybody has the ability. So let me just tell you and all of your listeners this. You know, everyone thinks because they weren't born with their gifts wide open that they're not able to tap their intuition. We are all intuitive. In fact, that's our natural state. What gets in the way is our analytical mind. The intuition resides in the same place the imagination resides.

Yeah.

Which gets knocked out with what? Thinking, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

So you remove that and you remove the, the programs of the ego or the ego jumping in and chattering. Suddenly you can access it, you know. Yeah, you get your reticular— reticular activating system running, right? It's kind of like when you buy a new car. A few years ago, I bought a new Lexus, and I drove a Toyota 4Runner before, so everywhere I went, I'd see Toyota 4Runners. I'm like, yeah, my car. Then I got my Lexus, and within weeks, all I ever saw— to this day, all I see— Lexus, just like mine.

Yeah.

Why? Because what's familiar to us, we will attract and we will notice. The same thing's true when you're creating something new, creating a new life, creating a new reality. So the more you start to say it, the more you're going to notice the evidence in your life that, oh, okay, I am fully supported. Oh, I am in control, right? Yeah, you start to take notice, but you got to speak those things first, like, I'm in control. I'm creating what shows up in my life.

Yeah. On that page with you. That's a lot of the work. You know, my motivation for diving deeper into that work was last year when I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. And I was like, I feel like I've done all the things to not get it. But you know what, Bernadette? I was always afraid of getting it. I used to be a high school teacher, and on the 60— I live in Arizona— on my way to work, there was an MD Anderson building on the right side, and I would go, don't look over there, you'll turn to stone, don't look over there, you'll turn to stone, don't look. And I would not look that way because if I look that way, I'm gonna get cancer. How silly is that, right? Yeah. And I felt like— when— and when I tell people that, I was like, I really think it was my This was before I started diving in and diving in, and people are like, it's asking me about your genetics. And although nobody in my family, you know, no, no history of cancer, our greatest fears will always be made manifest if we keep focusing on them.

We energize those things, and then they have— the universe goes yes, like, and then you're like, what? And it's not like everything you're afraid of or everything you think that's negative shows up. But if it's something that's repetitive, it's going to show up.

Yeah, I love that. Oh, that's a great quote. Greatest fears will always be. Love that. So I—

well, people tell me, well, you know, I worry about this and I worry about that. I'm like, and you're worrying yourself into it happening. Stop it. Stop it. And you keep worrying about it, you're actually creating it. It's birthing this into being. Yeah, everything on this planet was imagined first. Everything. The cell phone, electricity, right? Everything. The house you live in, the clothes you, you are wearing was birthed from imagination and then brought into physical form. Our fears, the things we don't want to have happen, same thing. So why not focus on something good instead?

Absolutely.

Birth something beautiful, not something gross.

Yeah, something grows. I love that. What would you say has been your most successful client story?

I've got so many. There was a fun one I did. I did a talk, um, a session, one session with a client from YouTube. Actually, she just watched my YouTube videos and she came for one reason. She said— and what did she come for? She said, I I've been watching your videos and having problems with my relationship with my daughter. Like, she doesn't respect me, and she's an intuitive, you know, but she's been in the closet, really. She's like, I have this book to write, and I don't know what to do. And I, I talked to her for a minute, and I said, okay, well, are you willing to let all that go? And, and, you know, I noticed a comment you left on, on a talk I gave on money that you have this this income ceiling that actually washed out because you broke your back after you hit $1 million. I said, how quick was that break your back car accident? She said, that was— it was fairly, fairly fast after. Um, she said, but you know, the doctors have said— I've several surgeries while Conestoga— the doctors have said there's nothing left they can do. I've just been in pain for 10 years. And I was like, can we work on that? She said yeah. So I did my little energy mojo thing to her, and because she's also an energy healer, she was very open and receptive. Yeah, she stood up a foot taller. No more back pain. Yeah, yeah, I was shocked.

I'm like, oh my God.

Checked on her the next day and I said, how you doing? And she said, still standing tall. And it's been 2 months now. She's actually been remodeling her house on her own.

It's doing the work.

Yeah. And the beauty of it is, you know, Spirit kept telling me work on her body. Her daughter didn't believe a lot of the stuff that she believes, right? But you really can't deny when someone's standing a foot taller. So we didn't need to work on anything with the daughter. I think we just needed to get her moving back back to health, optimal health. And, and it's— that one just blew my mind. Yeah, it always blows my mind because I can't, I can't guarantee people this is what's going to happen or that's what's gonna happen. I never know. But she was willing to try and I was willing to try, and I just put my faith in the energy and still holding.

Wow, that is incredible. That's Incredible story, incredible testimony. It really is. So what's next for you? Like, what is like the next program? How are you working with your clients? What is the next big thing for you?

Well, my signature program that, um, is always kind of open for— but I handpick people to come in— is called Charm Life. But I, I'm launching on the 16th. We, we begin an iteration of that, the foundational work called Charm Life Money Mastery. So that's on August 16th we start. Um, I'm all about, you know, I'm just— I, I take everything sort of a day at a time, a moment at a time. I have my plans and then the universe has their plans, you know, and I'm pretty fluid and flexible about what, what are we doing, you know. My, my goal is to change as many lives as I possibly can, to activate people into their their own power so they don't need me, so that they can go shine their light and their love and show people possibility, because the world needs it now. I'm all about igniting and, and helping people integrate true feminine energy, which is missing on this planet, you know. And I don't mean like feminine as a female gender, I mean nurturing, love, right?

Yeah.

Caring about what happens to others, we need to bring that in now. And those are the leaders that I like activating because I know they're going to make it work and turn things around for this planet.

Yeah. So if someone's interested in that, can they go to your website?

Yeah, um, actually it's not— I don't know that it's on my website. All they have to do is email me or hit me up on Facebook. Bernadette at BernadetteGold.com and just say, hey, I heard you on the show, kind of interested, and I will give them the next steps.

Perfect. Perfect. So I have all of your contact information that I will leave in the show notes.

Cool.

So just one final question, Bernadette. In standing all the great things that you've done with all of these gifts and talents that you have that are extra special, I know you say we all have it. Now I want to tap into mine. What is that legacy? What is it? You kind of started with it a couple of minutes ago, but what is that one big thing that seems impossible today? I don't know if anything seems impossible to you, but when I look at things like 40 years, 30, sometimes 10 years ago, that's old, but I know I can do it. So nothing seems impossible, but what seems big to you that you will like tackle and accomplish before you close your eyes?

Gosh, you know, I would say if I can reach— really, if I can reach and change another 40,000 people's lives before I go. Yeah, I've hit 40,000 already. If I can do another 40,000 before I'm done, because for every person there's at least a dozen in their circle of influence that's affected by the work that we've done together.

Yeah.

So it just, it, it's, yeah, that lights me up.

I can tell. I see it. I totally see it. Wow. Bernadette, thank you so much. This has been such an extraordinary conversation. It really has. I mean, I, I feel comforted.

Good.

Just a lot of the things that you've said, I feel like she's standing behind me, not judging, but she's supporting because of you saying that. Yeah. Yeah.

Good.

So, oh my goodness, thank you for everything that you shared today in this episode. And I know, I mean, I have a feeling that people are going to be reaching out to you because, you know, and hell, I might be reaching out to you. That would be fun, especially with that money block. My goodness. Yeah. So, so cool. So thank you so much. Is there any last thing that you want people to know before we end this conversation today?

Claim your, claim your value and your power. We are all sovereign beings, and the minute every individual claims their sovereignty and stops listening to what the world is saying and pushing and fearmongering, nothing can touch you unless you allow it. So claim it.
