JJ: Welcome, Scout.

Scout: Thank you so much for having me.

JJ: You’re welcome. Can you tell everybody why you decided to join this program and a little bit about you?

Scout: So, a little bit about me is that I am 27 years old. I’m a mother to four kids and a business owner. I live in Northeast Pennsylvania. And for a really long time, I just had this overwhelming feeling that life should feel better, that we were here for more than what I was putting forth. And I had had a lot modeled to me throughout my lifetime of people just putting their heads down, doing what they were supposed to do, but not a lot of witnessing of people doing things because it made them happy or fulfilled. And so, I didn’t know that’s what I was looking for, but I found JJ just through typing “spirituality” into the podcast search bar. And I hadn’t looked back since. I started with one episode, and then I binge listened as many as I could. Then through the pandemic, I listened to “How to Feel Better Right Now” and I reached out to her for more one-on-one help. I dabbled around with that, but I ended up going through a home buying purchase and a lot of unexpected costs, so again, I had to pull back. Then she ran the beta course, and I really wanted to do that, but I was about to have my fourth baby, so the timing wasn’t really right. And I’m so glad that I ended up in this group because I’ve made so many wonderful connections with these women, and the community that we’ve created has just been life-changing.

JJ: Thank you, honey. And more from Scout. I ask them a bunch of questions that I’m going to share on this show today. Let me bring Carol on. Carol, you had joined what was the Inner Circle Membership, and it is now Empower U. And then I did meet you, we did have a short Zoom call last year, and then you joined this year’s group. Welcome to the show.

Carol: Thank you very much, JJ. It’s such a pleasure to be here. Yes, I always listened to your shows for a few years, I think since 2017. And like Scout, I typed into the podcast search “energy” and “spirituality,” and I found you, and I was like, “Yay! This is somebody I can relate to.” And after that, I would listen to you while I was in the car and long journeys. I would listen to you when I was doing the housework. It just really made tedious tasks a lot more interesting. And at the time, so I’m a mom of three, so I was mostly a stay-at-home mom. But I own a therapeutic practice as well, so I worked with clients as an energy healer and a counselor. So, I joined the Empowerment Strategist group to kind of get more tools to work with people, because I kind of felt like there was a bit of a gap between the energy work and the counseling work and I just wanted to have more tools. And I definitely got more tools. Thank you very much.

JJ: You are very welcome. June, welcome to the show for the very first time.

June: Yay! Yes. Thanks for having me. I was introduced to JJ’s podcast just like a year ago, year and a half maybe now. And I was listening to it in the car on the way to work. I have about a half-hour commute. I’m a special educator. I’ve been teaching for 25 years, and I’m looking at my future retirement plan, because I definitely am a doer. I have a couple of side businesses in addition to my full time job and career as a special educator. And I am a mom of a five-year-old daughter, who I want to just be my best for. And so, I started listening to JJ and I couldn’t get enough. Just everything that you represent, the words that you speak, the information that you share was all resonating with me. So, when she was talking about this Empowerment Strategist Certification, I felt like it really matched me. That title, “Empowerment Strategist,” I feel like this is what I do with kids when I teach. I’m trying to help them be their best and think their best about themselves so that they can be the best learners they can be. And then, in my business, I coach women to be successful in their business, and I see so much growth in women. So, it just was a match. And then all of the background that you have, JJ, with your marriage and that process, I was like, “Geez. She’s speaking my life. I need more of this.” And I needed direction. So, yeah, I’m not looking back. I’ll keep moving forward with JJ, for sure.

JJ: So, if you haven’t figured out by now, we are recording this on video. So, for those of you that would like to meet these ladies, these wonderful ladies, come to jjflizanes.tv so you can watch the video. And if you’re not on my newsletter or email list, you want to get on that, so that way, you can also have the video in your inbox and you can go straight to the link. But it’s jjflizanes.tv. Thank you, June. I appreciate you also, and I’m so happy to share you with everybody. Vesta, you are next. And she has been back. You’ve heard her before.

Vesta: Yeah. So, I found JJ in January through another podcast, and she was offering a free seminar/webinar about why talk therapy doesn’t work. And I just was giving it a listen because I was feeling extremely lost in my life. I’ve been an empty nester for six months. I travel for my job, which is fun, but I’m alone a lot, so I was feeling kind of a mess. And then I listened to that webinar and I binged a lot of episodes of Spirit, Purpose, and Energy. I signed up for this group because I love to empower people. I feel like that is one of the things I was put on this earth to do. So, after listening, I finally had the guts to sign up, and I talked to JJ, and then here I am.

JJ: Thanks, Vesta. Appreciate you. And you’re going to hear more from everybody. Nancy, you were almost the last person to sign up, I thought. So, tell everybody a little bit about you. And welcome, Nancy. This is Nancy’s first time on the show.

Nancy: Hi. Thank you, JJ. Okay. Wow. After two failed marriages, I was going through a relationship ending, and I needed to change my ways. I needed to find out what I was doing wrong. So, I went into therapy and it didn’t seem to be doing very well for me. For two months, I saw a therapist. And then I started listening to podcasts, and I started going down the spiritual path. And I heard about Ainslie MacLeod and so I wanted to hear some more interviews of him. So, I put him in the search engine on the podcast shows, and JJ’s podcast comes up, and I listened to that. And then I kept listening to her podcasts and looking through all the different things she was talking about. And then she started advertising her three reasons why therapy doesn’t work, and I went, “Okay, well, I got to listen to that because it’s not working for me.” And it hit on all the exact things that I thought about talk therapy. So then, from there, I went to the Roadmap to Emotional Healing, and that was making so much sense, more than the therapist could do for me. And then, when she started talking about her Empowerment Strategist group, and I thought, “Oh my gosh. I’ve only got, like, two days to get into this, and it’s going to start.” And there’s only a couple of places left, and it’s like, “Oh, no.” So, I applied for it, and I talked with her, and she said, “Sleep on it. Think about it.” And so, the next day, I asked for signs, and I got the signs, so I told her I was in. And here I am, learning more and more every day about myself, which is why I got onto this path for myself.

JJ: And what I love about your decision to do it, as well as Scout’s decision to do it, is it wasn’t about necessarily coaching anybody else. It was to do the work for yourself. And I have to say that when I started the second round, I mean, Scout was the first person to apply, and I was at a little retreat, and I said to her, “Honey, you’ve got so much going on. Do you want to be a trainer?” And she’s like, “No, I just want to be able to help people in my chair. I’m a hairdresser, I have a salon, and I hear people’s stories, and I want to have more tools to be able to help them.” And then with you, Nancy, it was “I want to do a deep dive into myself.” And that’s how I always approached what I think… First, we have to experience the work on ourselves. We have to have a deep, profound experience before we can talk to anybody about what the work is, in my opinion. And that’s the kind of person I want to work with in terms of I’m referring a client or you’re working under my wing, you have to represent living this, not just talking about it or know that it exists. And what I love is, even more so, if you’re not going to help anybody else, just going in so deep, like saying, “I’m ready to take the deepest dive possible because I’m frustrated enough, nothing has been working, and I feel strongly about that there is hope here.” So, we’ll hear more about, of course, your experience. And I’ve heard you say. So, thank you, Nancy. Yeah, you got it right before we started. And then, of course, not late to the party, but on perfect time, referred by June is Sonya. So, Sonya came in about a month after we started, and I said, “Are you ready to kind of catch up?” And so, she’s currently driving, so you won’t see her yet. But welcome, Sonya, to the show. Please introduce yourself and tell people why you joined this program, what were your goals, and who you are, and what you do, and all that.

Sonya: Hi. Thank you, JJ. I am a salon owner, I am a wife, I’m a mother, and I have a very full schedule. And I found this program through June. She mentioned JJ. I honestly feel like I was hitting burnout for the last three years after starting my business at home. I was working too much. I was saying yes to everything. I was really just in a tailspin. And the more that I’m in a tailspin, the more that everything else around me was starting to feel out of control. And so, when I got into this program, everything started to make sense, and I felt like I could learn how to deal with my emotions. I could handle my stress better. I thought this appealed to me mostly because I was looking for another way to grow my business, some other way to express myself that wasn’t from standing behind a salon chair. And I’m 23 years doing hair, and I just don’t see myself doing this into my 50’s. So, for me, I feel like working on myself, I knew I needed to do it, but it wasn’t until I got into this course that I was able to kind of elevate myself to the next level and I discovered more about myself than I even thought was possible.

JJ: Thank you. I love that. I can’t wait to hear more as we do more details, and for us to see your lovely face when we can. So, I’m going to go to question number two. I did prepare these ladies with some questions, since we have a lot of strong character 1’s here and they wanted to know what they were going to go into. And for those of you that don’t know what I’m talking about, sorry, you missed the event. But those of you that were there have an inside joke now and know what that means. So, let’s move back to question number two: What has made the biggest impact on your life, and how? How did it? What is it? I’m going to back to Scout.

JJ: Thank you, Scout. That’s awesome. And I want to just clarify Marco. So, we’re towards the end of the year here, 2022, and I’ve already sort of, at the event, made offers for people to continue working with me in different capacities, whether it be in a group like this or in the mastermind. And one of the things, because I’m not currently doing any more one-on-ones past this point, because it’s really about honoring my own next phase, what’s going on for me. And so, Marco Polo is an app that we use, and they are video messages. And one of the value points… And thank you, Alejandro, if you’re still listening to the show, for introducing me to Marco so many years ago in the first mastermind. At that year, I did not understand its value, to give it a value in terms of my own time and monetary price. But I learned with the Empowerment Strategist last year, how very valuable it was, and with the mastermind. I think it’s one of the key points of our group, because we have the lessons that we do during our group meetings, but it’s the integration of those lessons in your real life. So, I call it in real time. It’s almost like having access to me or to a coach 24/7, if something goes wrong, that you can bring the thing immediately and apply the tools you’re learning immediately to what’s going on, so that you could actually start to embody what is being taught and what you’re learning and how that feels versus intellectualizing it, putting it away, and hoping that you’re going to use it when you’re triggered. So, it now has a dollar value. I’ve now given it a value. And it’s one of the main magical things that happen into creating this community, because you get to see people, you see their faces, you feel their energy.

And so, the Marco Polo part is a really important part of all the groups that I do, because, again, it’s in that real time, in real life, application of things that we’re learning. So, I encourage people to use it when we’re together. Of course, there can be an abuse of it. Nobody here has abused Marco’s, but it has the option of taking too much, which is why I now give it a dollar value. I was coaching for free in 2020. Every time someone would come on and do… And I didn’t give it an extra value because I didn’t know it existed. And then I realized that “Whoa. This is it.” This is where the real value is being integrated, and it needs to have a dollar amount because I’m literally on it for hours a week, answering questions and coaching, and so is everybody else. So, I appreciate that answer, Scout. And if you guys need to combine question two and three, that’s fine, which is “What has made the biggest impact on your life?” the how and the what, and “What was the best, most unexpected result or experience?” Scout, would you say that you covered question three also in your answer?

JJ: Thank you. Yeah, I agree that it’s very impactful. Okay. Let’s go back to Carol for question number two.

Carol: Well, I find it hard to pick out which has impacted me the most because all of the modules have impacted me in a great way. I feel like I have a lot more awareness of myself. It’s like you know how we have all this unconscious part of ourselves? I think this shone a light on a lot of unconscious parts of me. So, it’s great. It’s like, okay, the core wounds has been amazing. It’s taught me a lot about myself. The love languages has been great as well. And I know you discuss these on the show, but there’s nothing that could compare to the actual course because we actually work through the stuff and we process together. So, that’s been a huge learning, like really big. So, I am really glad. And all the modules are fantastic. I can’t pick one.

JJ: Thank you. No, that’s beautiful. And I appreciate that you find value in all of them. I find value in all of them, which is why they’re all included, right? So, I take through the best of the best, and that’s what we work on. And again, to your point about you can understand it and you can learn it by listening, there’s a concept, but then there’s the using of it. It’s that integration piece of looking at it from 10 different angles, being with it, applying it. “How do I see things differently? How do I interpret differently by doing it this way?” versus just understanding conceptually about core wounds or about love languages or about astrology or whatever. But then there’s the actual application, which is why the course exists, why this group exists, and why I will do it again next year. In fact, we do have four out of six slots already filled for the next Empowerment Strategy coaching, deep dive program. Because this group format, this period of time of six months has just, over and over again, shown me the power of, again, the group dynamic and the group learning and the connection and the community, which has to be a part of that experience and that expression. And then, of course, learning from each other, seeing it in somebody else, and all the wonderful things you all say to each other on Marco, and coach each other. Carol, you always have great insights, everybody does, into another way to look at something. And so, I appreciate that. Yes, they’re all important. I don’t feel like that was a… You didn’t skim over that by saying they all are. I agree.

Carol: Thank you. And the course is experiential. So, even though you’re a very academic person, I think a lot of us in this are academic and we’re pretty much in our head, it’s an experiential learning, so we have to experience it and become vulnerable with each other. And that’s amazing learning and amazing connection. And I think it’s a top rate course. I really recommend it to people. And I’m really glad I’ve taken it. And we’ve got all the recordings, so I feel like I’m going to go over them all again and go deeper even further still, because we’ve got them all in a library, which is amazing. Thank you.

JJ: You’re welcome. And as I said in the beginning, I got better doing it again. Even though I’ve been kind of teaching core wounds since 2018, I mean, the mapping came out during the roadmap and then even more so with you guys, and then the self-reflection of how we core wound ourselves and how we keep that active. I went back and used that with someone from last year and really could outline a big difference. So, again, I get better and better the more that I teach it. I don’t know if I can get better than this. I mean, I feel like I’ve hit the stride of the point of this, so anyone moving forward, I can make it super streamlined and applicable and easy to use and understand. So, June, let’s move to you. What’s made the biggest impact on your life?

June: Yeah. I don’t know really where to start, but I agree with Carol. I am so happy that I’m going to be able to go back and dig in deeper, because there’s so much content in what you’ve provided us. My favorite, to begin with, that Roadmap to Emotional Healing, and focusing on feelings and needs, and figuring out “What is it that’s triggering me?” and “What are the feelings that I’m having?” and then “What needs can I get met here?” That process has definitely been life-changing. I’ve always seen myself, and people see me in my jobs and my careers and all the things I do, I’m a very happy, joyful person. And for the last several years, I’ve been coming home and that person gets shut off when I walk through the door. And that has been the biggest change of like, “Why?” like figuring out, “Why was I doing that? Why was I shutting down or coming down from this high level of functioning, of this really happy-feeling person to walking through my door and being a different person?” And I found my way home. I found me. I wondered why I didn’t bring tissue when I came here, because I’m going to need it, I think.

But I wrote something down that I wanted to share that I felt was like my biggest wake-up call. My happiness cannot be about anyone else’s, I wrote, behavior. Or how somebody else is feeling shouldn’t be impacting how I’m feeling. My happiness is about my own alignment and my behavior. And stand in awareness, and be who you are. And that, for me, I mean, it sounds so simple, but by digging deep with all of this work that you’ve provided us, JJ, that I will continue to dig deep in, I found my way home. I keep saying, “I’m staying in my lane. I’m going to be who I am, who I’m meant to be.” And by doing that, the people around me in my home are in a better alignment, just by me changing my behavior. Not me asking to change anyone else’s behavior, but by me changing who I am showing up to be in my home, it’s helping everybody else.

JJ: Yes, I’m wiping a tear away here, because I think I’ve said that to you, because you and I started with, like, two one-on-one sessions, and you were like, “Oh, I’m going to be one of your empowerment strategists in the future.” I’m like, “No, you’re going to be one now. You’re not going to wait. Because of what you’re going through, you need to do this right now.” Because two sessions will not be enough to help and get you through and, again, really take this material to where it needs to be. Like Carol was saying, experiential. In fact, I was talking to a client. I had a VIP day over the weekend. And she is doing the mastermind next year, but she hasn’t done all this work, but we did. Literally, the VIP day was 100% core wounds, with a little bit at the end of upper limits. And I said, “You can shift your relationship by yourself.” You do not need buy-in. You do not need to threaten somebody to necessarily come in and say, “You have to change for me to be happy.” Now, that person may need to grow also, but there’s so much work that can be done. And whether you stay together or not, this is the space, when you have a willing partner, to let yourself grow and see how your energy and frequency shifts them automatically without them doing anything, and just you changing. I mean, it’s been happening over the years. I see it. I work with one person and their whole relationship changes, just by one person. So, please, if you’re out there and you’re someone who thinks, “I have to have buy-in from my person, my partner in order for us to have a better relationship,” maybe later you do, but you can always start with you, and you can always make you better, and you can always shift how you show up, you can always shift how you react, and you can always shift what your expectation is in order to bring out the best of the people around you. Because that is something you do have control over. The story you tell, the frequency you’re on, the expectations that you have allow that person to meet you where that is. And if you always expect the worst, you’re going to always get the worst. But when you elevate to the place of understanding that you pull from them what your picture in your mind is, and if we can’t change that, then you’re not setting yourself up to win.

So, I appreciate that, June, because I did say that to someone recently. And I’m going to say that to everybody who’s listening and/or watching. Please stop blaming your partner for the marriage, the relationship, the situation that you’re in. Because until you’re clear about you, and you’re the happiest, cleanest, clearest, most positive version of you, we still have room to make change just by how we emanate who we are and what we see and how we see and what we expect. And we can pivot quickly and ask for more. Now, Nancy, I see you over there too. I can’t tell if you’re next. No, Vesta is next, but I can’t tell. I’ll come back to you whenever, if you’re just sort of having an allergic reaction or if you’re tearing up also, because I’d like to hear that. So, Vesta, what has made the biggest impact on your life? What and how?

Vesta: There’s a couple, but they’re tied in together. The core wound work was very vital for me to be able to move forward. But by doing all the rampaging of appreciation, I think it made the core wound work a lot easier, because every time something negative happened, still to this day, I try to rampage and pivot in any way I could possibly do that. But I didn’t know my core wounds. I mean, I had ideas, but I didn’t really know. And once they were solidified, it’s easier for me to change my behavior to make it more positive and more appreciative. And I think the more positive that I put out, the more I get in. And it took me this whole year to learn just that alone. And I love that. And also, the biggest impact is the tribe and the people. I feel truly blessed to have every one of you in my life. And then the live event was just like the icing on the cake for people. It was not just you all, but you all and then also more people, just more of the tribe in the flesh was so amazing. It was like the tipping point for happiness for me.

JJ: Thank you. Scout is making a little heart. I was actually editing that podcast, which was out last week, as you guys are hearing this. And it was a really great way to start today with you guys, just to sort of hear everybody’s appreciation about… And I just kept saying over and over again, being in person, you can’t beat it. There are no words for this feeling. There’s no words for the weekend that will translate into the experience that you have when you’re all together in person. And there won’t be a big live event next year in 2023, but there will be both the retreats for the mastermind, so there will be two in-person events there, and the retreat for the Empowerment Strategy coaching program. So, the six people who do next year like this will also have their own little retreat. But we’ll be back in 2024, hopefully, with a big live event. But again, these relationships were created over Marco and over Zoom, and then the meeting in person was, like you said, the icing on the cake. The relationships were already there. But Marco does have a way of bridging that gap a little bit from Zoom and phone calls and text messages until you meet in person. So, thank you so much for that. And we’ve all seen each other’s growth. And you know what? I’m going to put in another question. I would love at the end, before we close out our final meeting that’s here live and being recorded and shared with the world, I would love for each of you to just acknowledge the growth you see in each other. And I think that would be really important because, again, there’s what our awareness is of what we see, and then there’s someone else’s reflection. So, I think that would be really important. So, all of you character 1’s, go ahead and start writing down all the things you think you want to say to each person while you’re not talking. All right. Nancy?

Nancy: Okay. Well, listening to everybody’s testimonies has been bringing me back to the beginning. And the reason I came on here, or to the group, was to find out why I was attracting the wrong type of people and my relationships, patterns, and how to change them, and where they were coming from. So, core wounds was my biggest learning curve. And I’m still learning. You just have to keep digging deeper and deeper, and keep showing up and showing up. And then I have siblings that haven’t quite got there yet, some of them. So, you see their core wounds, and they’re different than mine because we’ve experienced our family differently, and we’re different ages. And so, even the law of attraction thing, just this morning, I thought, “Wow, that’s my new law of attraction. I need words of affirmation more than quality time.” Things are just changing. They’re always changing. And I was thinking about that, and I thought, “Well, that makes more sense. And the quality time…” Everything just changes. And then it all goes back to core wounds. You start investigating one thing that you have an aha moment about, and then you go, “Oh, wow. So, where did that come from?” And you go back into your core wounds and your feelings and needs, and oh my gosh, it’s just an endless search for yourself really. And then, when you have to incorporate it with somebody else, it’s like, “Oh my god. How am I going to do this?” So, it’s just amazing. And then your live event with the new ways of Whole Brain Living, that opened up a whole new can of worms for me, a good can of worms. So, I can shift from my thinking brain into something more fun that I used to be like until I got into this black hole that I’m digging myself out of. And that has just been a game-changer for me. So, if I had to pick the top two, I’d say core wounds and Whole Brain Living. But everything is a part of all of it.

JJ: Thank you. Yeah, I was actually thinking about teaching a course, and I’m like, “I can’t call it Whole Brain Living because that’s not mine.” I was like, “Maybe I can do a course in the future or do Awaken Your Dream Life 2.0 in 2024,” where we invite people who haven’t done the work to do what you did this year, and those of you that have done it to take it deeper, because I actually have ideas about how to take that character work a little bit deeper, because it’s very rich. There’s a lot to do with it. So, I feel, and I’m sure you guys would probably agree, but you can say this if you want to at some point, there are people that search information, and they keep searching, and they keep searching, and they keep searching, and the reason is because I don’t think they actually apply it. They know it, and if knowing it doesn’t change them, then they keep looking for more. And for me, I have noticed that there’s a stopping point for me. Most of you have heard on the podcast, I haven’t done enneagram, and I don’t know that I will, because every time I’d examine it, I’m not interested because astrology tells me the same thing. Human design might be something I move to next, but I’m still slowly moving towards it, because I don’t necessarily feel it’s told me anything that astrology can’t. So, why add five more tools when I don’t need to, when I could just go deeper with what I already have?

And what I’ve told people in the past is I think I’ve given you the best of the best. And if you’re just stuck with these five or six tools for the rest of your life… I even said that for the feelings and needs list. I’m like, “If you could just master this, the feelings and the needs list, if you understand, every time you feel negative emotion, you just take responsibility and figure out and uncover what your real need is.” Not the need of the conditions or circumstances or people. But if you figure out what your real need is, that one exercise alone, I think, can change someone’s life completely. And I feel like that about all these exercises. Not that I’m saying that we don’t need to grow, and you won’t outgrow, or some other thing, whether it be energy medicine or whatever, like meditation, hypnotherapy. I mean, there are other things. But when it comes to understanding, I’ve had someone who is considering doing the three-month beta, and when I talked with her, she said, “Oh, I don’t think three months is enough.” And I said, “It’s not for you,” because she spent $200,000 on Joe Dispenza and this and this workshop, but she still says, “But I still don’t know why I do this or I do this, or why I react this way or I do this.” I said, “Oh, you will not have those questions at the end of working with me.” These six months, if nothing else, you will know the reason why you do everything you do, how you upper limit, why you upper limit, what your core wounds are, why you see the world this way. You will know all of that by the end, and you’ll never again be confused about why you are where you are. I mean, I see you guys shaking your heads. I mean, I feel that’s pretty strong. But the answers are all here. Here are all the answers. It is not a mystery. We can explain it right here with all the tools in this course, of why you are where you are and why you can’t get more than what you have.

So, thank you for that, Nancy. I appreciate the thoroughness of your… And at one point, it sounded like you were like, “It’s so overwhelming,” but I also know and I’ve seen your growth, and you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t impactful and started to help change you, and the way you feel about you, and the growth that you’ve had. Yeah, you have to be willing to do the work. And that’s for anybody who’s interested. But I think if you’re listening to my show and you’re still here, and if you just found this show and you’re still listening right now, you’re interested. And it’s about the courage and bravery to love yourself enough, to respect yourself enough, to invest in yourself in a big way. We buy houses, we go to school for education and degrees, we spend money on travel and food and clothes and probably a lot of things, but people get triggered when it comes to investing in yourself to be happier, and they’re like, “Whoa. That’s expensive.” “Really? I got to do that?” Well, no, you don’t. But if you do, it takes you up a couple of notches in terms of your own self-respect for saying, “I love myself enough to figure this out once and for all.” At least the whys of it. And then the embodiment of it and the expansion of it, well, that goes on forever. So, Sonya, darling, what has made the biggest impact on your life? The how and the what.

Sonya: Well, everything you just said. Honestly, all of it. I mean, like you said, if we just took the time to master everything in this course, we’d have everything we need. And I don’t feel like I’m anywhere close to mastering any one thing, but I would say the two things that have made the biggest impact in my life right now was the law of attraction course and the upper limiting with Gay Hendricks. I just feel like, for me, exactly what you just said, there’s a difference between knowing it and applying it. And a lot of information that we got exposed to through this course, I knew some of it, I’ve heard of some of it, but I wasn’t applying it in a way that was effectively making change. I knew I wasn’t living my best life. I knew I had a good life. I was thankful for the things I had, but I’m thankful for things in such a different way that it’s like my feet don’t touch the floor anymore. And when the contrast or the bumps in the road happen, it’s so amazing to go into your little tool basket that you have now and figure out, “How can I get over this?” Or if I don’t know how, I have a tribe of people to call. And I can go back to a video, or I can go back and find the information I need.

But law of attraction. So, I feel like when I was looking in the mirror or doing self-reflection, I wasn’t really happy with the person I was seeing. And I knew that I needed to be the one to change it, but it wasn’t until I really started to be the change that I wanted to be. And that was literally practicing it every single day, so taking the things that you were saying to do every single day and doing them. And that, for me, one of the hardest things was consistency. And it didn’t happen overnight. I had to keep doing it. But then, once I started really practicing and applying it, then I found that I got the rewards. And then, once I started getting the rewards, whether it’s weight loss or whether it’s happiness, it’s like then you want to do more of it. And so, for me, the law of attraction course really immediately got results with my children, with my husband, with the clients behind the chair, for my friends and family that were… And now it’s like this feeling of just like I’m open. I’m, I guess, turned on. All the different words that you could use. My frequency is higher. And I feel like now those upper limits that I was having before look totally different. And yeah, I really liked that part of the course.

JJ: You are tuned in, tapped in, and turned on. Yes? Awesome. Thanks, Sonya. All right. Back to Scout. So, we’re going to go with “What’s the best, most unexpected result and experience?” Something you did not know you wanted coming in that you got.

Scout: So, I would have to say that the most unexpected thing is seeing the shifts in my relationships. And I felt like I kept running into the same issue over and over in my relationships, where I would leave my interactions with disappointment and I wasn’t really sure why that was happening. But I realized, through doing all of the work that we have done, that I wanted somebody to see me, to hear me, to understand me. And I didn’t feel like anyone in my life was really aware of themselves, so how are they going to be aware of what I needed and really show up for me? And the community that we’ve created here has been life-changing. I know I can feel every single one of you just like feel me, see me, hear me. And that has been like… I hadn’t really been deeply rooted in faith or in anything, and so that’s been another thing to learn through JJ all of the different beliefs that she has. And I’ve never resonated so much with what someone believes, and so that has also been life-changing. And I think that not being deeply rooted in understanding why we’re here, that we have whatever it is that someone believes with the sacred contracts, that we’ve planned our life before we even got here. That has been one of the most empowering things for me also: that life isn’t just happening to me, that we’re here for lessons and to learn. And so, understanding that, combined with all of the relationships that I’ve built with each and every one of you, that has been, I think, the most unexpected experience. Because I definitely get nervous around people, and so I wasn’t really sure, coming into this, how I was going to be interacting with everyone. And it’s just been instantly comfortable, so that has been really great.

JJ: Awesome. Thanks, Scout. Carol? Sorry, I’m going to talk less because it’s about you guys. So, the question is “What was the best, most unexpected result or experience that you’ve had that you didn’t have any idea you’d get?”

Carol: It has to be similar to Scout. The deep, honest, authentic friendships that I’ve built in this community. This has gone way more than I expected. I have new BFFs, and I wasn’t expecting that.

Carol: Yes. And sometimes when you do this work, and it’s difficult process work, you need a lot of support. And sometimes people, like in courses I’d done before, you get the support, both see outside and a little bit inside the group. But this is all inside the group. I think with the tools of Marco’s, we can relate to each other in real time, as things happen. We don’t have to wait for the next call. Yes, it’s amazing, the friendships that I’ve built up, and I’m very grateful for them. Thank you.

JJ: Thank you. And just to anyone who’s listening, it’s not just for women in the next group. The four people that have signed up already, two are men. And I just wanted to make that encouragement that it’s not just for women. In fact, I will maybe eventually do a men’s only group. But when I asked both men who are doing the group if they prefer a men’s only group, they both said no. There’s value in having women there. So, FYI, in case you’re a man listening to this, or a woman listening to this for their husband, son, father, brother, especially when it’s not someone you know, there’s definitely value in it. And both the women in it wanted men in it too. So, everybody was excited to have both men and women in it. So, June, what was your most unexpected result or experience?

June: Well, I think it’s really unexpected that this mama would get up way earlier than I did in the past. Sleep was always so important to me. This seems silly, but it’s so powerful. So, I’m now getting up an hour early every day just to have some me time, to have some time for myself. I listen to Abraham to start my morning every morning. It’s like 15 minutes of just gold. And I’m starting to practice meditation for the first time in my life. And I’m telling you what, I feel so good every day when I start my day that way. And the next unexpected thing that happened is I see hearts everywhere, like “Oh, there’s a heart rock” or “Oh my god. That leaf, just randomly in my path, is a heart.” It’s kind of nuts how much it’s wonderful. And I internally feel so much love, and then it continues. Like, I’m driving down the road to work and I see the sun rising over the mountains, and I have this overwhelming, full body love experience. It’s that kind of stuff that is a shift, that we have a gift every day to notice the beauty in this world, and it’s just pouring in and out of my body. And then I know I’m walking around with that, shining my love on others. And then the unexpected thing that happens is I come home and I sit at dinner, and my husband says, “You know what I think we should do? I think we should, every night at dinner, share something we appreciate about the day.” Now, that was unexpected and beautiful, but it wasn’t me initiating that. But by just spreading joy and love every day where I’m feeling it, it impacts people around you. So, me deciding to feel good, no matter what is happening around me, is helping others. I can see it. It’s helping others feel good no matter what.

JJ: Absolutely. I mean, you’re already a bright light, but now the power you have to even shine brighter and to affect others. And that’s what I was saying in the beginning. We don’t have power over how someone else shows up or reacts or interprets, but we have complete control over how we show up, how we see people, to elevate them and to extract out of them the best of them by being the best of us. So, that’s beautiful. Vesta, what was the best, most unexpected result or experience?

Vesta: Mine is self-love, appreciation for myself, and inner happiness. I knew coming into the course that that’s kind of what I’ve been looking for for a long, long time. And I knew it would take work, and it still takes a lot of work all the time. I feel like we’re on this journey forever, not just one year of our lives. But I feel like the amount of self-love I’ve gotten in the last year just by taking this course is astounding. That’s for sure. And that’s the hardest thing for me to have, and it’s the hardest work to do, but it’s the most impacted in my world.

JJ: And we all see it, and we love you. Thank you. Nancy, what’s the most unexpected result or experience you’ve had?

Nancy: Well, learning about myself, the truths about myself that I didn’t know, and what they meant, that I was a people-pleaser and what I did to do that was give up myself. And I needed to listen to my intuition and trust myself. And that’s where I’m at.

JJ: Thank you. Well, you know, when we are aware of something, then we can start to do something about it, right? And the awareness is an important piece. Thank you for that. Sonya, what is the best, most unexpected result or experience that you have had?

Sonya: I think that my most unexpected result was that I found a way to be more vulnerable. I just felt like a really hard shell. And that was one of the goals coming into this was that I have put layers and layers and layers of coating around the stuff that was hurting on the inside. And I really think I did crack that shell a little bit, and I have found more ways to be vulnerable and let some of it out. And then doing that, I have found ways to have harder conversations. I can now do that with more confidence and set boundaries. I think those are my three top things.

JJ: Thank you. Looking forward to more cracking open and more allowing of that as we move forward into 2023. So, question number four: What would you tell others about doing this work? Scout?

Scout: I would say, just do it, because you’re not going to get it anywhere else. I was in therapy for six years, trying to figure this out. I have really, in my opinion, kind of upended as much as I could in order to figure it out, and it wasn’t until I joined this program. And you get bits and pieces of it from the podcast and from working with JJ one on one. You get some of it, but you don’t get all of it. And I think this is really the best thing that I have done for myself, for my children, for my parents, for my husband. It’s really impacted every person that I come into relationship with, and myself, and understanding my relationship with myself. And I wanted to kind of tie that up at the last question, but I forgot to add this. The other most unexpected thing for me was that, because I have this group, I’ve been able to release that expectation from everyone else in my life. They’re not on the hook anymore for showing up for me. And for that, I would say that’s another giant reason to do this. You will see so much change in your relationships with everyone and with yourself.

JJ: Thank you. Can you share the story about your client that you only see twice a year that you saw recently?

Scout: Sure. So, I’m a hairdresser, and generally, I can see people anywhere from every four weeks to twice a year. This client was a twice-a-year person. And she didn’t know what I was doing. She is friends with me on Facebook, so she sees some of my posts, but we don’t interact very often outside of the salon. And so, she came to her appointment and we talked, and I actually had just gotten back from the live event in California. And we were wrapping up the appointment, I was checking her out, and she just said, “I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep doing it.” And she said that she could just see. And she couldn’t put a word for it. She didn’t have a word for it, but she’s like, “You’re just so different.” And I think that if I had to fill in the blank, I would say I’ve found peace. I’m not so wrapped up in every little thing that goes wrong, every speed bump that comes up in my life. And I definitely just feel more peaceful. And I think that is what she was seeing. That’s what she was trying to articulate to me.

JJ: Thank you for sharing that. I just think it’s… While I don’t want to delegate that other people need to reflect you back to you, because most people won’t be able to, because if they’re not on the conscious path and their frequency is lower than yours, they can’t see you. As you grow into a different frequency, they literally can’t see you. So, they have no idea what you’re doing. They don’t know how to articulate it. And some people get threatened by when people grow because they’re afraid that it means they’re going to leave you. They can’t put words to that, though. But when you can have someone reflect without that attachment, without that fear, or without having it land in them in a negative way, I love when people randomly just say something and could reflect back to you that you’ve grown and changed. I think that that’s a great unexpected gift. So, thank you, Scout, for that. Carol, what would you tell others about doing this work? And I know a lot of you have already said some of this, and by now, there are no reasons to. But if there’s anything you haven’t said yet, what would you say?

Carol: I would say that if you have a goal or a dream and it feels very distant and very far away, and maybe down the road, five years away, four years away, whatever, if you have that, I think do the course, because it would make your dreams a little closer and easier to get to. It just gives you the community of support to reach for what you want to reach for. It helps your relationships. It helps you get less triggered. It would give you the tools that when you get triggered, you can detach and pivot much quicker. So, it’s an all-rounder. If you want to improve your life, if you want to get to your dreams quicker, I would say, join up. It’s about committing to yourself. It’s about taking the time, taking the energy, investing in yourself, getting vulnerable, paying what you need to pay, and doing the work. So, yeah, go for it, everyone. If you’re thinking about it, I would say, go for it.

JJ: Thanks, Carol. Beautiful. Yes, it is an investment. I’m not going to lie. This isn’t an inexpensive course. But it’s there for a reason, because the more we value ourselves… I mean, these ladies have valued themselves at a level that says, “I’m worth doing this. I’m worth getting to the next level in my life.” And they’ve had the experience from that. When you give somebody for something that’s cheaper, you know what it does? It stretches you. When you have to stretch into something new, it literally says, it’s a big sign to the universe that says, “I’m nervous about this. I don’t know.” I remember last year, it wasn’t until we did this that I heard Libby say she didn’t know every month where the money was going to come from. She dove in and said, “I don’t know where it’s going to come from every month, but I’m doing it.” And of course, it worked out, and then it worked out, and now she’s good. It worked out in all ways, exactly the way, maybe more so than what she wanted. But it was literally saying, “I’ll find a way, because this is so important, I can’t not do it.” So, I want to say congratulations for all of you guys for stretching yourself into this too. I mean, even when you have the money, it still doesn’t mean it’s not a lot of money that you’re investing in yourself. But it is six months of self-growth in a way that if you go back and think about, “How much have I spent on therapy?” or “How much have I spent on books?” or whatever, and you add that all up over the years, this is a fast track. And like Carol said, you do get the recordings forever and ever, and you can go back and revisit this every year as a refresher if you’d like to, or whatever that you need to. So, thanks, Carol. June, what would you say?

June: I would say, absolutely, invest in you. We all deserve to be the best version of ourselves. We all came in to grow in this lifetime, and we chose our paths to grow. And by doing this work, you can really dig deep and figure out, “Why is it that I chose to put myself in the place to be triggered by that person? And what is my growth here? What am I going to do? And how I am going to be the best version of myself?” So, if you don’t stop thinking about this… This is what happened to me. I would listen to JJ in the car, and I couldn’t wait to listen to it on the way home at the end of the day. And the next day, “I’m going to listen to JJ again.” If you don’t stop thinking about, “Maybe I should do that, like JJ said. Down the road, I’m going to do that, because I’m teaching, and when I retire, I think that would be a really great thing for me to do.” No. If you’re thinking about it, do it now. Invest in you, in your growth, in your personal growth, to be the best version of yourself.

JJ: Thank you, June. And thank you for listening to me when I said, “No, you’re doing it now.”

June: I was like, “Okay.” If JJ says, “Do it now,” I say, “Okay.”

JJ: Well, I had reasons. I said, “Look, you could wait, but it doesn’t make any sense. Do it now.” So, thank you, June. Vesta, what would you say?

Vesta: I would tell people that you are worth it. You are worth the money.

JJ: You meaning the person, not me? You, the person. Right.

Vesta: I would have paid double to be as happy as I am right now. So, I mean, if it’s the investment you’re looking for. But I also think maybe be ready and open for all the things that come too, because in the beginning, I don’t know, maybe not for everyone, but for me, it was a little rocky. I’ve never questioned the work or why I’m doing the work, but I have been pushing things out for so long that it hits the core so hard when you’re doing the work, that it really affected me for a month or two to the point where I cried a lot and I slept a lot until it all started to come out and flourish. So, be ready. And really, it makes you super ripe, so be ready for that.

JJ: Thank you. The next show next week will be “You Have to Feel It to Heal It” with Dr. Sharon Stills. She interviewed me on her podcast and has allowed me to repurpose it for you guys, and we talk about that. But you have to feel it to heal it. So, thank you, Vesta. Nancy, what would you say?

Nancy: So, I’ve talked to a lot of friends about different things that I’ve learned, and they just sit there and listen in awe, I think. Some can relate. Some not so much, but it’s all right. Eventually, I think that they’ll probably get there. But I’ve heard people say that they’d never change a thing in their life to get where they are, and I just didn’t quite understand that. And they’re enlightened. They’re happy. So, right now I’m thinking, “Okay, all of these lessons that I’m learning, the tools that I’m learning, are the ways, or they’re the answers to the life that I chose, the lessons that I chose to learn, being a human.” And this is where they’re coming from when they say, “I wouldn’t change a thing,” because I have to go through these steps. The things that I used to call mistakes, they’re not mistakes. They’re lessons. And I had to learn them, even if it’s tough. But I’m glad I’m doing it. And I did ask myself, “Am I worth it?” Of course I’m worth it. And I’m the crier of the group.

JJ: You’re not the only one. Vesta would be next in there. Don’t worry, we all cry. And yes, you’re worth it. And you’re all worth it. We’re all worth it. And thank you for that because that was beautiful. Yes. Doesn’t it feel better to say “This is a lesson, not a mistake”? I mean, just that alone, just boom. That right there, right? It’s very forgiving to say, “This is a lesson, not a mistake.” And there’s nothing wrong with it. Obviously, I still need to learn it if I’m still having the same lesson. It takes the pressure off. It gives you choice. It gives you power. So, thank you, Nancy. That was beautiful. Sonya, what would you say to someone?

Sonya: I mean, I feel like everyone has already said everything I wanted to say, so I guess I could cap off with: Are you curious about what your life could be? Because I think for the person who’s curious about maybe something that they haven’t experienced yet or something that hasn’t yet happened, I feel like this is the course that even if you didn’t know why you needed this program specifically, what specific thing you needed to exactly work on, you’re going to find it and you’re going to figure it out. And I think this is going to bring out things, as we just said, like unexpected. There’s so much value to it. I definitely had sticker shock. For me, I’m glad that I did not let that hold me back. And now that I’ve completed the course, I agree with Vesta, this is worth way more than what we paid, and I’ve gotten so much out of it in really a very short period of time for how much struggle I’ve had in my life, my 40 years of my life. And to be feeling this good in such a short period of time is just phenomenal. And lastly, since I’m the last to answer this question, I mean, who doesn’t want to work with JJ? Honestly, this woman, people. This woman, she’s amazing. And if you get the opportunity to work with someone this closely who has the amount of knowledge she has, you’re not going to find that. And we’re all sitting here in this tribe really happy and content with the experiences we’ve had, and it’s because of her. Yes, the material is great, but she makes this course.

JJ: Well, if I wasn’t crying before, I’m welling up now, and I’m going to try to subdue that just a little bit so I can get this through. Thank you. I love you all. Thank you, Sonya. That was beautiful. And thank you for rounding that out. I want you guys to reflect back to each other. You don’t have to go through each person if you don’t want to, but you can, if you can make it short and sweet. We don’t have to tell big stories about the growth that you’ve seen in each other because I want you to hear that. And since this is our last meeting together of this group like this, and you all get to hear and be a fly on the wall for our last group meeting, so it’s going to go a little longer than a normal show, and I don’t care. I’m going to be the new Joe Rogan. I’m going to make a three-hour show next, okay? And I don’t care, because it’s not about what you think on the other side of the microphone necessarily. It’s about what I want to present, and I want to have this wonderful engagement with these ladies who have added value. Without an audience, obviously, and without you guys, I don’t get to do this. And so, I appreciate all of you for participating, for being interested, for heeding the call, for investing in yourself and, yes, in me. But you’re not really investing in me. You’re always investing in yourself. Yes, you want to trust the person you’re investing in the program, but ultimately, it’s your job to get the most out of whatever it is that you’re doing. And that first initial step is really not about… You can trust me, and you should trust me, before doing something like this. If you’re someone who doesn’t…

I’ll say this now because I feel like this is sort of appropriate too. I know I could have put more people in “Awaken Your Dream Life.” But what I don’t want to do is sell people on activities or on expectations of things, like “Oh, we’re going to do the work on this, and we’re going to do the work on this.” Because I’m selling you an idea about the content, and what works best for me, and always has, is for you to trust me is to show up. Just show up and trust me that I’m going to guide you through. Because it’s going to change. It changes every time I have an event. I can come in with a structure, but based on who’s in the room, where we are, what’s happening, I adjust, which is awesome for me because it’s not like a cookie cutter “Boom, boom, boom. Here’s what we’re doing every single time.” Every event changes. As I grow, so does the material. And as you grow and I grow, we find new things to do together, or we go back and revisit a simple thing that we’ve done in the past. But it’s a constant living embodiment of this work and what we all need. So, I did not purposely tell all of you in the audience what we were going to at “Awaken Your Dream Life,” because I didn’t want you coming in expecting something, and then if I had to change it, you’ll be like, “Well, why did we do that thing?” Just trust me, or don’t trust me. And if you trust me, I want to work with you. And if you don’t trust me, I’m happy to educate you to the degree that you’re willing to listen and put it into your life. And maybe one day I’ll get to meet you or work with you. And if not, that’s cool too. Plenty of people find value in my show without ever showing up to something, paying me, or being a part of a group. But if you’re ready to make quantum leap change into your life, this is the place to do it. So, let’s start with Scout. What do you want to tell everybody, each individual person about any kind of growth that you’ve seen from them? And please don’t make this pressure. We’ve all seen growth in each other. But you can say whatever is comfortable.

Scout: Okay. I’ll make it short and sweet. And I’m just going to go in the order of the people on my screen. Vesta, I think that your self-worth has skyrocketed. Every time that we have a meeting and you say, “Sorry… Wait. No, I’m not sorry,” it makes me laugh, and it makes me so proud of you for how far you have come. Nancy, your vulnerability in the first call, I think, really helped propel everyone else opening up. And you’ve apologized for it since for being the crier of the group, but we need you because you’ve cracked everybody else open too, I think. And it was almost like I felt like you were mad in the beginning, and I feel like you have become so calm and peaceful, and that’s really beautiful to see. Carol, you are like the cheerleader of the group, and you are the wise woman. In the beginning, I was kind of like, “She’s already got this.” But you’ve only become wiser. So, that’s the growth I see in you. June, you are definitely a light. I think everyone could say that about you. I think you had a little of lamp shade over your light in the beginning. But the lamp shade is gone, and you are just shining and doing great. And Sonya, you definitely were kind of closed up, and I didn’t feel in the beginning like I understood you or I knew you. But seeing, especially on that one Zoom call that we had, where you opened up and really let it out, it’s amazing to watch you progress also and feel comfortable opening up. I think that’s a really beautiful thing.

JJ: Thanks, Scout. Well done. Carol?

Carol: It’s going to be hard to follow that one. Can you hear me?

JJ: Yes, you’re good.

Carol: Okay. It’s going to be hard to follow Scout. So, Scout, I’ve seen you open up immensely, and being so honest and so vulnerable with us has helped all of us be honest and vulnerable and authentic. And I really thank you for that. Vesta, you’re definitely less apologetic for your existence. And I just see you shining. You’re just glowing. And it’s wonderful to witness that too. June, I think you’ve taken responsibility for yourself in many ways. And I think that what you said earlier about not changing the other person, but the changes within you, I think you’ve really applied that, and it’s been amazing to watch that, but it’s been enlightening as well. Thank you. Nancy, I thought you were really quiet, and I think you really… Especially at the live event, it was so lovely to see you be so whole in yourself and fun and engaging. And you really engaged so much with all of us. It was lovely to see that, because I think you were quite an introvert before. Well, I thought you were an introvert. I could have been wrong. But I just see you become more comfortable in your skin and fun as well. Sonya, I think I’ve seen your growth too. You’ve really dived into this work. You didn’t hold back with doing the exercises at all. You just went 100% into it. And to see your growth instantaneously happen was also very inspiring, so thank you very much.

JJ: Thank you. June, your turn.

June: I feel bad for the person that has to go last. You all did… That was wonderful. So, I’m going to do quick descriptors. So, I’m going to start with you, Scout. You blew me away, girl. If I had only been 20 years ago, I’m 47, you’re 27. I just think it’s remarkable that you’re doing this work now at your age, and you’re like a little fireball, and I can’t wait to just see you keep growing. I’m going to have these little descriptors for each of you, and fireball was the first one that came out of my head for Scout. Vesta, everybody’s rampage partner, just willing to devote all that time to everybody and hold us all accountable for rampage of appreciations every day. I thanked you over and over for that. You’re just remarkable. Let’s see. Nancy, I love your tears. I love the vulnerability. And I love how Scout said that you did, you helped us get right into it with the vulnerability, and I think we all thank you so much for that. Carol, I could listen to your voice all day long. You’re like this calm, peaceful. Really, I would pay for your counseling any day. I love listening to your voice. And it is, it’s like very wise. When you speak, I want to just listen to every ounce. So, thank you. I feel like this is more like a “thank you” thing, but I can’t help it. This is where I’m going. And Sonya, you talked about this hard shell, and at the Awaken Your Dream Life event, when you broke down, it was beautiful. And I was sitting right next to you, and I could feel it, and I’m just really very proud of you for letting it go in a room of a lot of people that you just met 24 hours earlier. So, it wasn’t just us. It was like opening up to these strangers. And so, I’m really proud of the growth that I’ve seen in everybody, and thank you for this experience.

JJ: Thanks, June. Okay, Vesta, you’re up.

Vesta: Scout, I tell you almost every meeting how amazing I think you are, because you are so young, and I feel like you are so brave and you just got braver. You’ve become vulnerable, all the things, and more confident in what you say. I think that’s amazing. And June, I don’t think you let anybody dim your light anymore. That’s what I see. That’s what Scout said, and that’s what I see. And I hope you’re enjoying your food as much as you used to. Carol, same, more confident. I think especially when we have one-on-ones, well, whatever, me and Carol rampage and talk a lot. And I was lucky enough to be led a meditation by her yesterday, and that was amazing. And I also love to hear you talk. Nancy, another brave. I feel like you’ve been more vulnerable. You used to message me on the side to put your point in for the whole group. Not for me to say it, but I would hear it, and I was like, “No, you’re brave enough,” and you put it out there for everyone to hear, and I think that’s amazing. And Sonya, I think your confidence has gone up too, to be more open and more confident to start the next chapter of the dream life that you really, really want.

JJ: Beautiful. Thanks, Vesta. Nancy?

Nancy: Oh my gosh. Okay, Scout. You’re always the first. We were partners at the very beginning. And so, she’s the youngest, I’m the oldest in the group, and it’s like on our first one-on-one together, trying to figure out what this is. And so, it was really hard to… I don’t know. I felt like maybe you thought I was like your mom. You couldn’t relate to me or something. I don’t know. It was a hard start because we were the first pair-up. And as the Marco Polo’s came through and everything, I’m thinking, “Wow, Scout has got it together.” For her age, I wish I was that smart at my age. But you’re amazing. Carol, I love your spirituality and your intuitiveness and your wiseness, and I can’t imagine how much more you’re going to grow out of this. It’s just amazing. June, you were a star, and your star is shining brighter, and I just wish it could flow over to me, 3000 miles away, maybe so. And I enjoyed our one-on-ones, and we had a lot in common. Vesta, oh my gosh. You’re a rampage queen. You are a bright light, and it’s gotten so much brighter, just in your face. You don’t even have to talk. You just glow. And Sonya, it was really great to meet you in person. You got onto the group later and you felt closed a lot, but you’re so smart and so open now, and you’ve grown so much and discovered so much about yourself. And I think, well, we’re all smart, but just we’ve all grown so much. And I appreciate every one of you for all of the stuff that we’ve gone through, and I look forward to staying in touch.

JJ: Yes, ma’am. Thank you, Nancy. Sonya? And by the way, you’re not last. I am. Sonya?

Sonya: Scout, I think that I’m kind of going to tag off of what June said. I wrote down “firecracker.” But I do agree. I think that you have been your very authentic self this whole time, and I think that the growth that you’ve had is amazing for somebody as young as you with as much on your plate. We’re very proud of you. Vesta, you are a woman who doesn’t need to apologize anymore, and you’re going to go do some really great things with, I think, all these tools that you have. But I feel like you have cheerleaded and showed up for every other person in this group so much, and not in a way that brings you down. You just have that strength inside you to hold that space for everyone else. Carol, I feel like you are our old soul. I too questioned why you were here, but then I did see you get so vulnerable in so many different ways, and you shared so much really great advice. I know that’s not always easy to share your personal stuff. As you’ve all said, it’s not always easy. I really am curious to see where you’re going to be at another 10 years, because you’re so wise. Nancy, you know there was a lot of tears, but there’s that smile, and you’re kind of doing it right now. And I just feel like, even though maybe there were the tears, it’s like you were holding space for all of us. And I just feel like the growth that you’ve had maybe is different than everyone else, because I think that you really are figuring out who you are, and it’s really cool to see. And I hope that that person is coming for you that’s going to really complete you, because you are enough and good enough and great. And Miss June, I was lucky enough to kind of see your sunshine before we started this program. But I really feel like you changed your mindset, and I think that mindset change is really going to be able to effectively help other people, and I think that was your goal. You’ll do it.

JJ: All right. Before I do it and close up the show, is there anything anyone else would like to say that I’ve missed? Vesta?

Vesta: It’s my character 1, but we never went over question number five.

JJ: Right. I wrote in the chat that we were going to skip it.

Vesta: Oh, sorry. Okay.

JJ: Would you like to answer question number five?

Vesta: No, no, no. It’s fine.

JJ: Okay. All right. Anyone else want to say anything before I go through my analysis, if you will, and then close the show? Okay, no one is shaking their head. All right. So, Scout, you already know how much everyone thinks you’re amazing and talk about your age. For some people, when age comes up, whether it be old or younger, people don’t want to be attached to that. And I hope you feel the strength in the compliment that comes from why we all talk about it, because it comes from a place of not necessarily regret, but, boy, we wish we would have done what you are doing. And so, it’s a true testament to that. And through this, though, you’ve had a lot of pain in your life and you have held at that, and you’ve sort of allowed to kind of keep you down. And I have seen you take it off your shoulders and emerge and allow yourself to put it down, let it go, forget about it, give it less meaning, and really embrace who you are, where you’re going, such to the point of making big decisions about yourself and what you need, and putting your needs first, and being so solid in knowing that, and making decisions based on that, that it’s affected the people around you, and they see that you’re different and you feel different. You are brighter. I would encourage you to go back and watch one of your first Polo’s. Your energy is out of you now. It was inside of you and pushed down, and now your energy is emanating all around you when you walk around. People can see it because you’ve allowed it out, because you’re not holding back, thinking that you’re going to get hurt. You have more resilience. You have allowed it to shine. And you carry it in a much… You all carry it in a more confident, grounded, peaceful way, the confidence. But the difference is instead of protecting your hearts of feeling vulnerable, you allow them out, knowing and trusting that no matter what comes your way, you can handle it and that you deserve to let your light shine. So, that is what I see from you.

Carol, I thank you for being on this journey, because as everyone has mentioned, you do a lot of some of these things in your life, and coming in to get the tools, you’ve allowed yourself to be vulnerable also. And I really appreciate your curiosity and learning, and I’ve seen that’s such a beautiful… People want to work with people… I mean, at least I do anyway. You’re all here, so you see it in me. And as you’ve experienced at my event, I always ask, “How many of you have seen me grow in the last year?” and everybody’s hand goes up. And people want to work with people who are on the path, who are on the journey, who don’t just say, “This is the one thing and then you’re done, and then you stop growing.” And so, you’ve been able to amplify and really illustrate for people what that looks like to keep going and to keep allowing. And also, even just in how you treat yourself and your own business and your own self-worth. I’ve definitely seen you grow into more value of who you are and what you do and what you offer without anybody, an external validation or money or opportunities. Just deciding. So, I’ve seen your self-confidence go up.

June, I have seen you take your power back, because even though you did have a light, you did also have a leak. And I’ve seen that leak be patched, and for you now to channel all of that light and energy into… Your love bubble is bigger. Your essence, your aura, your confidence, your brightness, your trust, your faith, and your knowingness, and your consciousness has also grown. Because before, while you were conscious about all their situations, it didn’t necessarily always apply to your circumstances. Because we’re all taught to look at that other people can hurt our feelings, other people can make us unhappy, other people can affect our circumstances. And you’ve just blown that out of the water and done a 180 on that. And so, I see you as even more powerful in a focused way, not in a “have to be the cheerleader for everybody else,” but “No, I’m the cheerleader for myself now.” You have owned being the cheerleader for yourself.

Vesta, you’ve made a 180, and I hope you will go back and watch some of the Polo’s from the beginning also. And I know you said that there was some crying and maybe some resistance in the first bit, but whatever that sunk in… And I’m going to give you credit for changing my viewpoint of Virgo moons, because Virgo moons have not necessarily been the easiest to shift in an emotional way, in my experience prior to this. People are open, but generally, I don’t see a huge amount of shifts happening. And you have made a huge shift. You have allowed yourself to grow and allowed yourself to love yourself at a new level. And we all see it, and you emanate it. You glow. Like Carol was saying and Nancy was saying, you don’t have to say anything. Your just essence. I mean, the way your face is, the way you hold yourself looks different. Showing up on a Marco, on a Zoom call right now, you glow. And I feel you just accepting and loving who you are, as you are right now, with no reason, no performing for love, no validation. You have taken your power back in your own self-love.

Nancy, definitely I’m going to agree with, I think it was Scout that said or maybe Carol, somebody said that you might have come in, and you had a reason to be here. It was “I want to figure this out.” And the intensity about that, and the personification of maybe beating yourself up a little bit for it was a lot higher in the beginning. And now I do see you sort of softening into loving yourself and accepting and forgiving yourself for all the things that you just didn’t know, because who does? Unless you’re learning this stuff, who teaches this? Nobody. You’re not going to learn this in school. You’re not going to learn it in college. You’re not going to learn it. And this is experiential. So, I just really honor and see your self-love in very new ways, and a softening, and a forgiveness, and also an allowing of the journey in a less triggered way. Not in terms of you’re not crying, but less triggered meaning you’re not fighting it. It’s a flow. And it’s interesting because you’re a Taurus, right? So, I’m seeing you allow the flow. And it’s okay if it comes out of eyes a lot. You have some emotions. Okay. That’s cool. That’s what flow is about. But I see the ease of it now. You have ease versus before you had intensity of, like, “I got to figure this out. If I don’t figure this out, I don’t know what I’m going to do.” And now you’re like, “Oh, it’s okay. I am figuring it out, and this is the journey, and I’m on it, and I love myself for that.”

Sonya, your transformation with the law of attraction course and with your vulnerability. And you’re a very fast processor also, I’m going to say like me. And so, I see you like you take it on and you’re like, “Okay, I’m doing this.” You’re very focused, and then you know what that means. And I’ve just seen this immense amount of trust, definitely more joy, more self-confidence, and also the taking your power back instead of giving it away to circumstances and to other people. And you’ve been able to embody all of those lessons to show others. And you’re such an amazing example. I can’t wait to see what happens for you too in 2024, all of you, 2023 (sorry, I’m already jumping to 2024), to see what’s going to happen with you, which everybody will. And the strength of the vulnerability. Sometimes people can hear that “Oh, we want to be more vulnerable.” And they go, “What does that mean?” “Oh, I’m supposed to share more.” But you dove right into “No, I need to open my heart. This is what it’s going to look like.” And you’ve been very brave, as you all have been.

So, everyone’s confidence has grown. Everyone’s peace has increased. Everyone’s groundedness in who they are has grown, and again, added some flow, deeper trust, more light, more love, more happiness, and a confidence that if you’re ever in a situation, you know how to find your way back to who you really are. So, I appreciate all of you on this journey. If any of you who are listening would like to be on a similar journey, as of the recording of this, there are two slots left for 2023 in the six-month program. I did the three-month beta. It was lovely, wonderful. Everybody in that group is moving on to something else. But I will not do the three-month again because it isn’t enough time to learn information in your character 1 and then embody it in your character 3 and 4. So, we need time to do that, and this is how I would like to proceed working with people in the future. I thank all of you who are listening and are watching. And know that there’s help for you. Know that there’s a different life for you. You just have to decide you want it, and you have to believe that you’re worth it. So, with that in mind, everybody… Did you want to say something else, Vesta? No. Okay. So, thank you all. I love you. You guys can stay. And I’m going to stop the recording and say, until next time, everybody. And hope you enjoyed today’s episode.
