When the glow of the screen becomes the night’s lullaby, our energy can quietly fray. In this episode, Spiritual Life Coach and Shaman Tammy Adams joins me to explore how TV binges ripple through the chakra system—from feeling ungrounded at the root to foggy at the crown—and why what we watch can either drain our light or help it burn brighter. With over 35 years of guiding seekers, Tammy offers a compassionate, practical path back to balance.


We unpack how certain content stirs anxiety, numbs the heart, and scrambles intuition, then move into gentle, doable shifts: mindful media habits, screen-free wind-downs that invite deeper sleep, and simple practices to realign the heart, solar plexus, and third eye. Tammy shares moving client stories that feel like a breath of fresh air—proof that small choices can open big doors to creativity, confidence, and genuine connection with ourselves and the people we love.

Episode 151: The Chakra Connection: How TV Binges Influence Our Energy with Tammy

[00:00:00] Introduction to Wellness In Every Season

[00:00:00] Autumn Carter: This is episode 1 51.

[00:00:05] Welcome to Wellness In Every Season, the podcast where we explore the rich tapestry of wellness in all of its forms. I'm your host, autumn Carter, a certified life coach, turn wellness coach, as well as a certified parenting coach dedicated to empowering others to rediscover their identity in their current season of life.

[00:00:24] My goal is to help you thrive, both as an individual and as a parent.

[00:00:28] Meet Tammy Adams: Life Purpose Coach and Shaman

[00:00:28] Autumn Carter: Today I have with me Tammy Adams. She is a life purpose coach and a shaman, and she is with, life Purpose shaman. . Today she is going to be talking to us about how TV binging, messes up our chakras.

[00:00:44] And I'm excited for this one. I was presented different topics that she'd love to talk about, and this one really resonated with me. Hopefully it resonates with you guys too. Tammy, can you tell us a little bit more about you introduce yourself better than I did? I also [00:01:00] wanna weave in your journey, what led you here and what is Shamanism, because not everybody knows. 

[00:01:06] Tammy Adams: Wonderful. So my name is Tammy Adams. I go by life purpose shaman. I have been an intuitive life coach for over 30 years, helping people connect to their purpose and connect to their soulmate.

[00:01:19] But how the story began is ever since I was very young, I've always been extremely intuitive where a lot of holy people, because I was gonna be a nun. So I spent a lot of time in holy places like Yugoslavia, Mego, where the visionaries are, they communicate with the visionary, the Virgin Mary. I lived in Vatican City.

[00:01:42] I lived in Israel. I lived in many different holy places trying to understand what's wrong with me, like why am I seeing things? 'cause my family was very religious and very strict, so they assumed I belonged to the church when I [00:02:00] decided I wasn't gonna do that. That's not my calling. I didn't want to be consumed by a certain religion.

[00:02:07] I went out and spent my life learning different beliefs, understanding Buddhism, Sikh, Muslim, everything. So I spent time all over the world studying, like literally with these people understanding about spirituality. 

[00:02:23] Understanding Chakras and Their Importance

[00:02:23] Tammy Adams: And one of the subjects we're talking about today is chakras, right? So when I spent time in Tibet, when I spent time in India and these amazing spiritual places, one of the things that I realized is old tradition.

[00:02:40] That's thousands of years old. Cannot be broken. It is just something that has continuously worked. So no matter how much we try to say, ah, chakras aren't significant, or energy's not real, it has been proven for thousands of years and this kind of [00:03:00] hooked me even more and more to fulfill my purpose in helping to open doors for others and becoming who I am so that I can teach others and help give this opportunity to others to not just balance themselves and cleanse themselves, but then to also have the opportunity to open doors in the direction of where they're supposed to be intuitively by giving them that information or that insight that I have.

[00:03:25] When I think of the blockages we hold in our heart chakra, that's one of the things that affects us most when it comes to chakras, energy disconnection, unhappiness lack of confidence, whatever may be the heart chakra, which is what we're gonna talk about a lot today. And the third eye are the two most affected chakras as you point levels in a person's body that create the disruption and the lack of [00:04:00] function and the emotional and physical world.

[00:04:04] Does that make sense or does that explain it better? 

[00:04:04] Autumn Carter: It just, what is so funny to me is I had this conversation with somebody yesterday. 

[00:04:09] Tammy Adams: Oh, beautiful. 

[00:04:10] Autumn Carter: Just about how her daughter has been seeing a cranial sacral therapist. 

[00:04:16] Tammy Adams: Cranial sacral is cool. 

[00:04:17] Autumn Carter: And how she was saying that her daughter has a lot of the tension and buildup right here.

[00:04:23] Oh, fantastic. But that's also where her daughter doesn't want to be touched. And the therapist was saying, that's normal. Anyway, I'm totally taken away from this conversation talking about it, but that's what I was thinking is it's just funny when things align like this 

[00:04:35] Tammy Adams: and, one of the things that I actually am preparing a TED talk for is how we do not allow ourselves to realize the blockages we have then been, I don't mean to say this, but it just, it's the truth by medication.

[00:04:57] So if we don't wanna deal with our emotions, then it's oh, [00:05:00] here, take this pill. You don't wanna deal with this. Oh here, take this pill. And those are my clients. And those are the people that are looking to finally allow themselves to say, you know what? I can't be desensitized anymore.

[00:05:17] I'm done. I have love, I want happiness, I want joy, and I feel nothing. There was a lady I worked with probably about eight, nine months ago, and her father passed away and she couldn't cry at her father's funeral because she was on so much medication. She was so desensitized because of the heart chakra being so blocked.

[00:05:39] And we do these things because we have to function and we think if we allow ourselves to continue desensitizing ourselves and become detached, then we can allow ourselves to function,

[00:05:53] I love them. And you think of why are they becoming so [00:06:00] desensitized? What is going on with our children in the world today? It's because they're told they have to do this much work in order to be able to. Function and be a part of the crowd and be in that social society. Not only are they dealing with work, not only are they dealing with puberty, not only are they dealing with studies and getting great grades or sports or whatever it may be.

[00:06:25] Impact of TV and Media on Chakras

[00:06:25] Tammy Adams: Now they're also dealing with the drama and the chaos of the TV of what they're being told. You have to look good. You have to have a nose job. You have to be skinny. You have to look this way. You have to figure out what gender you're gonna be. There's so many different subjects. These are the children I deal with.

[00:06:43] I volunteer 'cause I have a nonprofit and I volunteer and talk at schools, and these are the questions that children ask me. But Tammy, why do I have to choose? I'm like, don't need to do anything. Forget about tv. Don't even watch tv. These are the things I tell parents all the [00:07:00] time. We need to control the phones and we need to control television.

[00:07:06] Why? Because the messages that we're being told. I'll give a silly example. 

[00:07:12] Autumn Carter: Yes. 

[00:07:13] Tammy Adams: Yes. If you notice, I'm very outspoken. There was this commercial and I was laughing about, I have a 12-year-old, God bless my princess, and I also have much older children.

[00:07:24] The 12-year-old is a gift that came many years later in life. And we were, gosh, I don't remember. I think at my son's house, he's 29 and I was at my son's house and he has real tv like I think that's, I don't know what you call it, cable.

[00:07:40] Yeah. So there was a commercial on and it was, there was this little girl and this little boy that was in this car and they're like, oh mom, you gotta drop us off three blocks away because this isn't cool for our friends. And I'm like, watching this commercial. And then they come up with this new car and they're, [00:08:00] like weeks later, they're driving up with this new car and they're just like, oh, we're so cool getting off the car. They're like the coolest kids in school. And I'm thinking in my mind, I'm like, oh my father, God. I'm like, what are we doing in the world? I said, son, you need to disconnect cable. My grandchildren cannot watch this.

[00:08:17] You need to disconnect cable. So I'm talking to my son and my daughter-in-law. Do not have TV in your house if you're gonna watch meditation, music or Netflix every once in a while. Okay, I get it. There's certain programs in Disney, certain things that kids wanna watch. I get it, like my daughter.

[00:08:32] But allowing ourselves to be consumed by the mixed messages emotionally and energetically creates this feeling of anxiety. 

[00:08:42] Real-Life Examples and Client Stories

[00:08:42] Tammy Adams: And children tell me this, adults tell me this. As a matter of fact, I have another client who is a huge person for a hospital, and she said that she. Go home and watch TV because when she turns it on, whether it's the news, whether it's whatever it may be, she immediately feels anxious and she can't sleep.

[00:09:04] I have another client who works for the government, can't watch TV because he feels like he can't deal with the anxiety. The messages we're receiving are not like the messages we receive when we were kids, right? It was more about, here's nature. It's like we watch a lot of discovery and it's like nature, real life stories or something more simple, but the messages that we're receiving and the information we're receiving through the social media and the TV is creating such an emotional anxiety, feeling that it's affecting the chakras inside of our heart.

[00:09:43] All the chakras that we have get affected once. It goes here into your heart chakra, then it immediately starts allowing itself to go into your solar plexus, which is making the right decisions. And then you start making the wrong decisions because your heart's blocked.

[00:09:58] So then you don't make your right decisions [00:10:00] because your core, your own intuition, that own feeling of this is the right decision, this is the wrong decision, it's just, it misguides you. And then how many kids, I was just talking about this two weeks ago at a school, how is, I hate to say this, but anime, there's some anime, I don't remember the name of it, so better off, I don't wanna mention it anyways, some anime cartoon that a lot of fifth and sixth graders watch that is very like good and evil.

[00:10:33] It's a lot of movies and cartoons and children's programs that are giving these wrong messages like. Don't be friends or we got to harm this person, or what does this person look like? It's just not about family, not about friends, not about gathering. So it creates this anxious feeling.

[00:10:52] And this little girl was telling me, she said she was adopted, poor princess. And she told me, she said, I feel [00:11:00] like the only thing that I can do to get recognized is to be more loose by allowing herself to be more, she didn't say sexual, but just be more seen, but I forget the word she used and wearing crop tops or just showing herself more often.

[00:11:27] And I was like, princess, I said, you're just 11 years old. I'm like, you're just a baby girl. I said, you don't need to worry about what people think about you. I said, you're supposed to make mistakes. You're supposed to be doing cartwheels. You're supposed to be. Figuring out how to make mistakes, not figuring out what people think, and she said, how am I supposed to do that when I'm the one who you know is being looked at?

[00:11:49] I'm the one who has this responsibility. They want me to make a decision. In the messages we receive from tv, again, back to the core subject, [00:12:00] we are being told that children have all the power. We are being told adults have to live a certain way inside the messages of the shows and the programs, because we're supposed to be doing this and this, all this is called entertainment, and people are misreading the message.

[00:12:20] This is entertainment, it's not real world. Are you following me? So what people are doing instead of allowing themselves to see the drama of the TV show, right? 'cause there's so many drama TV shows out there, or series or whatever you call them. And you have these drama shows. You have these competition movies.

[00:12:42] You have these other movies about or programs that are about relationships, whatever it may be, depending on the subject. They're called entertainment. But people allow themselves to act as though that's supposed to be their life. And this is where I believe the confusion [00:13:00] gets all entangled and creates a mess.

[00:13:03] And then it starts creating all these different knots in people's lives. And that's where the heart chakra once again starts going and digging itself in and creating this hole of confusion. It also affects the third eye. Third eye means allowing ourselves, again, the solar plexus, which is right below the heart, right down here.

[00:13:23] And then it goes like this, and it creates this beautiful line. A jump going from here to here into your third eye, and when it connects to your third eye, it's, that's your decisions as well as this being your decisions. It's connected. So your solar plexus and your third eye is connected. And when you allow yourself to live in this space with your heart shock or being closed, you can't make proper decisions.

[00:13:48] And this is where people make wrong decisions, mainly adults. Children are still young. They can fix certain situations, but mainly adults make wrong decisions [00:14:00] because we're thinking that if we allow ourselves to try to be accepted, try to allow ourselves to live in this certain type of lifestyle or this type of way.

[00:14:13] Right then we can allow ourselves to become popular. We could be fun, we could be cool, we could be recognized. It might help our job, it might help our career. Some of our morals or things that we believed in before are now lacking because it's showing on TV that, hey, you can get away with this and look, you get rewarded.

[00:14:31] There's so many programs that show being bad and doing the wrong things gives you a reward, and it's message after message giving us that information. So it's creating confusion in people's lives. So remembering that it's entertainment, it's not real, it's not people's real life stories.

[00:14:57] I did a, was it a [00:15:00] podcast? Or I wrote something about the Kardashians and we were talking, I think it was a podcast. I don't remember. Point is their life story. Everything that they're going through, everything that they've been dealing with since they were little children has been a TV show, and it's made them extremely popular.

[00:15:20] Extremely popular, but they've only become popular from doing negative acts. They haven't become popular because of them doing good deeds and good things. So every single time they do something, not to mention I'm sure they're good people, but they're in the money business, right? They're trying to focus on careers and business.

[00:15:41] So it's not like you can blame them, right? Because they're trying to. Get ahead in life by using this to their advantage. Understandable. Many people have done it. 

[00:15:52] Autumn Carter: However, look at their family life though. But look, actually, look at their family life. I'm just trying to be a good person.

[00:15:58] But their family life sucks. You really [00:16:00] wanna exchange money for your family and values and the, I would never trauma going through generation, no. Anyway. Yes. Keep going people. I'm just trying not to judge and 

[00:16:12] Tammy Adams: trying to be good and holy. 

[00:16:14] Autumn Carter: Discern versus judge for sure. 

[00:16:17] Tammy Adams: Yes. 

[00:16:17] Autumn Carter: And looking at, so my, background's in Applied Health, that's my degree in what?

[00:16:24] In Applied Health, Uhhuh. And we studied screen time and all of that. And I have my own story from, I grew up mostly with my grandparents and they were watching news all the time and, oh, news Dateline and anyway, unsolved mysteries. I'm a, I was a young child. That's not good. Do you imagine the trauma?

[00:16:50] Yeah. 

[00:16:51] Tammy Adams: Uhuh, no. See and that's why, and my grandson, he is five years old and my son, like I said, is 29. And [00:17:00] he told me something very negative, as a matter of fact, because my son watches news. And he said, he calls me Yaya. He goes, Yaya. He goes so if somebody's bad, you're supposed to shoot him. And I said, what did you just say?

[00:17:16] I'm like, excuse me. So again, a very serious conversation with my son to never have the TV on in front of my children my grandchildren or negative video games or anything like that. And yes, everything lost. Now it does create trauma. So analytically, like if you wanna talk about facts. Besides just the chakras and levels in the body.

[00:17:39] 'cause I wanted to be a doctor, so I have that other side of me that's very factual. I studied and I focused on what creates the complications. And this is very interesting when it comes to tv, if you wanna even go deeper besides just the chakras, the energy itself, the frequency. This is [00:18:00] silly story, but actually a great example.

[00:18:03] Have you ever watched Poltergeist? It's a horrible, scary show. 

[00:18:07] Autumn Carter: Nope. I've only seen part of it 'cause I really pay attention to how is it making me feeling? I'm very careful about what I watch and I 

[00:18:13] Tammy Adams: Horrible show. My mother put it on when I was probably five, six years old.

[00:18:17] Yeah, I know. God bless her. So point is one of the things that I learned from that movie. And I think about it as an adult, I can't believe my mother let me watch that. Why would she put us in front of that movie? I said, that's insanity.

[00:18:31] And the movie is describing that there is a frequency of energy that actually comes through the tv. It is a horrific movie, very scary show. 

[00:18:46] The Power of Energy and Manifestation

[00:18:46] Tammy Adams: I believe everything is energy. This tissue is energy. My water is energy. Our communication is energy.

[00:18:55] Everything is energy. My dress is energy. Everything carries energy. And when you're [00:19:00] allowing yourself to be in that frequency and that vibration of listening or following or turning on the energy of negative information is gonna create disruption in your space because that frequency. Then goes inside of the frequency of your blood cells, goes and allows itself to connect to the neurons in your brain.

[00:19:22] And if you were to do this scientifically, do an MRI or do a scan to see what's going on, this is what it would look like. It would look like it's all rattled and it would look very chaotic. So when you allow yourself to sit there and say, ah, Tammy's just talking about that, it's okay.

[00:19:41] It's actually been a proven fact besides me just talking about this being the heart chakra and the connecting to the amazing third eye, which is like your decisions, your direction, your creativity. You're seeing right you're, completely creating sabotage and disruption in [00:20:00] this whole space.

[00:20:01] You're also affecting the energy. And the energy goes inside of all the blood cells that run through your body. It affects the neurons that are allowing themselves to function inside of your brain, and it creates chaos. There's so many things we can talk about on this subject. Those are just within, I don't know how long we've been on the phone, very short time.

[00:20:25] Within just a couple moments. I can mention facts of how it affects you. And people want to allow themselves, unfortunately, sometimes to be manipulated, where I was talking to another client and I said, why do you allow yourself to do this? And this one lady I was working with,

[00:20:46] god bless her. She had a horrible situation in a relationship. She's been abused, she's been manipulated. She had a stalker. She's just had a really not good life. And she has two kids, [00:21:00] but she has so much anxiety, that she's on. I don't even know how many medications. And she doesn't walk more than three, four blocks from her home and her apartment where she lives in is I think two blocks from one of my offices that I have.

[00:21:19] So she ends up coming and we talk about these emotions and the things that are creating disruption in her space. And she told me all she watches is murder mysteries. I'm like, this is your drama. Being beat up, being assaulted, all these negative things, and you're watching murder mysteries all the time, like you're actually creating.

[00:21:48] That vibration, that energy to be a part of your life. So that's another thing is the power of manifestation. You're actually allowing, by putting on that [00:22:00] program, by putting on that energy, you're allowing that to be a part of your life. So you're calling it to you, you are like, come on, drama, come on. And people don't allow themselves to understand that.

[00:22:14] So one of the things that I had her do was actually just have her TV thrown in the garbage and get rid of her TV and no longer have a television because she couldn't control herself. So I said, just get rid of the tv. You have one tv, you have a small apartment, not necessary. So tell us what 

[00:22:31] Autumn Carter: happened.

[00:22:31] Give, us more of this case then. Oh, so yes. In quotes, because she's a real person. 

[00:22:36] Tammy Adams: Yeah. So, then I start working with her. She got rid of her television and then she was like, she didn't believe in love. She felt as if she was never gonna find love again because she too, much anxiety, too much stress.

[00:22:49] And the person who abused her, assaulted her and stalked her and all this other stuff was a relationship. So she believed every person's gonna be like this. Three months [00:23:00] into after she got rid of her tv. We went on a small private retreat and worked with her to work on her heart chakra to create healing, self-love, self-worth, self-confidence.

[00:23:10] She actually got on a flight. With me. She got off her medication and she was just, I don't even know how to describe to you. So proud of her. She was just, yeah, amazing. Transformed. Like she didn't believe in God. She didn't believe in anything. I don't even know how to describe it to you.

[00:23:23] She was just closed off, shut down. She was so shut down. And we ended up going to this private retreat that I did just for her, worked with her for four days. She came home, worked with her again for another probably three, four months. Showed her how to allow herself to work on having confidence, self-love, self-worth.

[00:23:49] So then she start going to the restaurants, start allowing herself to eat out, starting to go out with friends, starting to build relationships with friends. And now is an amazing [00:24:00] relationship. She's not married, but she has this amazing, beautiful person. She's so beautiful, she's so gorgeous. But now that her light is shiny, she just, you could see her beauty, and so many people think. That doing all these things to themselves or clothes or whatever it may be, makes them beautiful. It's not. It's the energy. People forget that everything about your light is your energy that you share. 

[00:24:24] Practical Advice for Reducing Media Consumption

[00:24:24] Tammy Adams: And when you're allowing yourself to X out, get rid of, take these things out of the equation that are creating a negative effect, including tv, including social media, including all this other stuff that creates drama and stress in your life.

[00:24:38] You take that out, all of a sudden you have room for everything else, like reading a book, going through a journey in a different way, using your imagination. Maybe you wanna start focusing on writing, maybe now you wanna focus on art. So she end up starting to write and now she found a different passion.

[00:24:54] So not only is she focusing on allowing herself to have this amazing, beautiful, intimate [00:25:00] relationship, but also an intimate relationship with herself. She's starting to focus on writing. I don't know what she's gonna do with the writing. Like we haven't got that far. But it's just a new thing that's just starting to come out.

[00:25:03] And she's starting to journal her story and what we talked about is she wants to be an inspiration for people who have been sexually assaulted and stalked. 

[00:25:16] Autumn Carter: I think her even just writing about her journey with you and throwing out the TV and changing the frequency of her manifestation would be, I'll read it.

[00:25:26] Sign me up. 

[00:25:27] Tammy Adams: Yeah, exactly. No, she's, a very, she used to own a company and she used to be a really strong woman before, so she has that gift inside of her until this person took it all down and sabotaged her. So she has that ability to really work super hard and to really get herself out there.

[00:25:46] So even though it was hard work for me to get her there, now that we are reaching that level of confidence and awakening and transformation. It's not gonna be hard for her to help the world because [00:26:00] she, already had it way before. All I did was reignite it yeah. So it's a pretty awesome story.

[00:26:07] I really love her. 

[00:26:08] Autumn Carter: You were lighting up the way you're talking about her and, oh, 

[00:26:10] Tammy Adams: it's so true. 

[00:26:11] Autumn Carter: And we can hear about, throw away the TVs all day long, but if we don't, and you started to talk about the why, but having this client as an example, just was that cherry on top of really understanding the why?

[00:26:25] Yeah, and like I said, with my background and applied health and studying screen time and knowing from my own experiences, absolutely. We, the kids turned on the tv. They were going to open Netflix. We don't have cable. I refuse. No, you can't have cable. There's so I can go over so many reasons why.

[00:26:46] Oh, I agree with you on that Now they will allow they'll have a scary movie around Halloween where they have that scary picture up there in the corner that still traumatizes children. [00:27:00] Seriously. So anyway, I went to the bathroom and it's just around the corner. It was just in there for a minute come out and a show was auto plane, like a trailer that was for adults and I'm, no, I freaked out.

[00:27:16] So we started locking everything down. So it's all password protected. And we have, I have a 10-year-old, he's my oldest of Oh, I see. You understand? Yeah. And we very much have had that conversation of internet security. We had to have it again because he likes to play with chat GPT in the morning. So we had to have that conversation.

[00:27:35] This is a computer, not a person talking to you. My echo, the wake up word is computer. It's okay. And apparently while the kids unmuted it, I have it in here for a timer for playing piano. How cute. So we had to have that conversation and then he was uploading pictures into chatbot the other day of our dogs.

[00:27:57] So we were like, okay, [00:28:00] our dogs, but you don't give any personal information, any of that stuff. So I had that conversation with him, my husband did, and I made sure that chat, GPT, had that conversation with him. Oh, good. It's really, I don't know how to do that Yeah. It's just put in the prompts and it does it.

[00:28:15] And I know so many people, it's really, popular. I think it's the number one podcast. It's the True Crimes podcast. My husband and I have even had that conversation 'cause he started listening to it. I'm like, be careful. Pay attention to how you're feeling. Absolutely. And we have our own guides and it's so true.

[00:28:15] Trauma. I never thought of it with medications, but that totally makes sense that we have these ways of deadening our intuition and our inner knowing and that connection with ourself. So sad. But it's, not just tv, but this is a great place to start. And then what else in your life is distracting you from your real purpose?

[00:28:39] Tammy Adams: And yes, a hundred percent your real purpose. That's a beautiful subject, but tv. So let's go back. 75 years, something like that. I don't know. 

[00:28:50] Autumn Carter: Sounds right, 

[00:28:50] Tammy Adams: but no. Bottom line. Talk to radio 

[00:28:51] Autumn Carter: times 

[00:28:52] Tammy Adams: When my father was alive, right.

[00:28:55] So when he was first born, I guess that's when the TV started coming out. Bottom line is that before that it was newspapers, right? [00:29:00] Any type of newsfeed, any type of radio, tv, social media, I have to include all of it. Magazines is a way to prompt us into allowing ourselves to create a negative frequency inside of our vibration.

[00:29:19] It closes off the shockers endpoint levels in our being. The only thing that matters is you. And we forget that we are the most important person on the planet, not the person next to us, not the teacher, not this person, not that person. I'm the most important person. You're the most important person.

[00:29:37] We forget how powerful and how significant and how amazing we are. And when we are constantly hearing this repetitive message, you're not good enough, you're not good enough and you're not good enough. You're hearing that time and time again through these messages, right? And they're these sub liminal little secret messages.

[00:29:57] Even with cartoons. My son even [00:30:00] told me the 29-year-old, and he said, mom, he said there's a certain cartoon, I won't mention the name of it, that actually has a certain frequency so that it can manipulate and have this certain, gosh, I forgot what the word he said it was, but basically manipulate and want kids to keep watching it and watching it and I said the only thing. That our grandchildren should be watching is some type of educational, like Miss Rachel or that whatever, any of the learning things, 1, 2, 3, ABCs. They're all my grandchildren are below five. And literally he goes, yes, mom. He goes, I'm sorry. Long story short, when we allow ourselves to look at the stuff that's out there, it's not just trying to attack adults, which is very sad.

[00:30:47] Very, sad. Because if we allow ourselves to get wrapped in that by allowing ourselves to look at the crime or look at how we need to change ourselves or look at how we need to diet there's always, that was another thing I [00:31:00] just had a conversation with my husband. I said, please don't look up, had a diet.

[00:31:06] I don't wanna hear what needs to be done because no one knows but us. I said, literally, when you think of dieting, I said, eat correctly. Eat what you want in moderation at the end. Don't eat cheeseburgers and french fries and milkshakes. Obviously rare. Okay, fine, no big deal. But if you try to figure out how to make yourself have another diet or make yourself have a better meal or creating, like now I'm taking out all starch, you're destroying your body.

[00:31:35] So another thing he tries to, because you know your body. Every human being has a different metabolism in the way we're set up. So no one can sit there and say, you're just supposed to never ever, have sugar. Okay, then what if you need sugar because you have this imbalance and you have to have sugar.

[00:31:55] There's someone I know that had that, and she actually had to add sugar. [00:32:00] My father was diabetic. He couldn't have sugar. So certain people, and it was in moderation, it was like, yes, he can have an orange, but just one a day. He couldn't even have fruit. You know how bad it was. Point is. Every human being's body is very different.

[00:32:16] And starch turns into sugar. So it could only have very little starch, but some people need starch, right? Like potatoes, rice, whatever it may be. We all are allowing ourselves to be manipulated, in my opinion, huge manipulation by social media, by tv, by whatever it is that we allow ourselves to download inside of our brains.

[00:32:39] And I don't know how to say it anymore. And when I talk about it wherever I may go, every single person's oh, that's right. Why does it affect us? Because in order for them to get more ratings, I had this conversation with somebody that I know that's in that industry. In order to get more ratings, they must [00:33:00] put drama.

[00:33:00] 'cause drama. Unfortunately, sales, why does it sell? Is because when you allow yourself to look at your life and you look at the life that's on tv, it makes you feel better about yourself or it puts you in another fantasy.

[00:33:22] So then that way you can avoid your own problems. So these are the main manipulations that TV's trying to do, or movies or whatever it may be, because it's trying to give you a fantasy or it's trying to make you feel better because, look, this is so much worse and this is what you could have if you do A, B, C.

[00:33:43] When we were created, God and our guardian angels and our spirit guides sit there and they're like. Knocking at our doors, where are you? I'm trying to get in there. And they're knocking and knocking at us. In our heads, in our hearts, in our solar plexus, in our root chakra. [00:34:00] Like knocking, trying to say, wake up.

[00:34:02] Why are you being manipulated? And they get so frustrated because when we were created, every single human being on this planet has their own journey. Like I said, you're the most important person on the planet. I'm the most important person on the planet. But we forget that we're all individuals.

[00:34:18] No one's the same. And when you have that frequency and that energy that's creating chaos in your body, it makes you have not just wrong decisions, not just leading the incorrect life. It makes you go like a zigzag, that there's so much chaos in your life. You can't create this peace, you can't create this happiness and this joy.

[00:34:40] So then your relationship gets messed up. Your children's life gets messed up. You become distracted. Your lack of confidence, your self-worth gets messed up. Everything starts falling apart until you feel like you're drowning in all of that because you're just binging, binging, binging. Let me just get to the end unfortunately, [00:35:00] I'll admit one thing that I definitely love to watch if I watch TV and if I'm on besides my meditation music that I listen to, literally food channel.

[00:35:13] It's horrible. And that's the reason I just love to cook. I wanna binge watch something, maybe watch a food show or something, learn something, discover something that's gonna give you education, because that's what I teach my kids and I teach my grandchildren if they wanna watch a program and they're like yeah, I wanna watch something before I go to bed after their homework or whatever maybe.

[00:35:33] 'cause my grandson goes to kindergarten and I'm like I said we can put on a discovery show. So we watch and we're learning about sharks and we're learning about dinosaurs and that's what we watch at nighttime. Or if it's my 12-year-old, we watch Food Channel because she wants to be a chef. So we watch Food Channel or those culinary wars and all that kind of stuff of how to learn how to cook.

[00:35:54] And one of the things that we allow ourselves to stay away from a hundred percent is [00:36:00] anything that has to do with drama not allowed in the house. News. News makes me feel like I'm gonna, as soon as I even hear it and it gets in my space, I immediately feel nauseated. 

[00:36:10] Autumn Carter: Oh, I get the tightening like I do too.

[00:36:11] This, 

[00:36:11] Tammy Adams: no, I had to go to this client's house. Gosh, it was in October, and I had to go. A lady called me over there. 

[00:36:15] Client's Heart Problems and Anxiety

[00:36:15] Tammy Adams: I was dealing with a client and he is dealing with heart problems. And she goes, please, shaman, please come. I really need your help. He just had a heart attack. He's dealing with anxiety. I need you to help my husband, blah, blah, blah.

[00:36:33] And I'm like, okay, I'll come, but I'm probably gonna end up having to stay for a week so I can be able to work with him. So I can see, but I'll stay in the downstairs now. 

[00:36:39] Observing Client's Habits

[00:36:39] Tammy Adams: I never stay in client's houses ever, It's one of my rules I never do. But in order for me to see this man's habits.

[00:36:48] In order to see what he's creating. I had to stay in a part of their house, which was very difficult. But they were very sweet. They're older couple, every single [00:37:00] morning, like clockwork. 5:30 AM I'm downstairs. There's a two story house. I'm downstairs, like the whole downstairs. 

[00:37:08] Impact of News Consumption

[00:37:16] Tammy Adams: I have, they're upstairs every single morning, five 30 I hear very loud the news and I'm like, oh, he did it again.

[00:37:16] Oh, he did it again. And they just have one little tiny TV in the whole house. It's like one of those old fashioned TVs that it's I don't like tiny, a little bigger than a book. A magazine. And I'm like, no. I'm like, you have done an amazing job. I'm talking to the wife of not having other televisions in this house.

[00:37:38] I said, but literally all I see him doing is reading the news and watching the news all day long. And as he's watching it, by 6 15, 6 30, he's cursing at the tv. This is like before I had coffee and I'm hearing him curse the tv and I'm like, okay, [00:38:00] let's talk about this. Why are you watching the news if it's making you so angry?

[00:38:04] I need to know what's going. And he is screaming and I'm like, calm down. Like, why are you screaming? It's six 30 in the morning. Let's talk about why you need to watch the news. And he goes I just take that son of a gun and I just wanted blah, blah. He's just mad about politics.

[00:38:21] I'm like, but that's not your life. I said, he's not you. You're not him. You have a beautiful home. You have an amazing wife. Look at your yard. Why are you not going for a walk? Why are you letting yourself get upset about somebody that has nothing to do with you? I said, if your next door neighbor did a, b, c, what would you do?

[00:38:38] I probably go cuss him and I do this and I do, and I'm like, wrong answer. I'm like, it's none of your business what he does. I said, we forget that our life is ours. I said, and by you allowing yourself to let that negative in your space, how are you not gonna have a heart attack? I said, you literally just came outta the hospital and you're putting negativity, darkness, and carrying this negative frequency.

[00:38:56] Positive Changes and Volunteering

[00:38:56] Tammy Adams: So that was in October. I just talked to her last week. Long story short, he throws out the [00:39:00] tv. That was in October. Gosh, I can't believe it's May. Oh my gosh. It's May. How'd that even happen? And I just talked to her last week.

[00:39:03] She said, I was like, Hey, how's he feeling? Do you need me to come over? What's going on? And she goes, oh my gosh. She goes, all he is been doing is going out hiking, spending time, volunteering over at the museum now. I'm like, that's what he wanted. One of his dreams, he helped support this huge museum and did God knows how many projects helping it.

[00:39:27] And one of his things since he's retired is now he wants to volunteer at the museum. So we talked about that in October. Why are you not volunteering? You did everything for this museum. Why are you not doing this? Now he is volunteering at the museum and he's living life and he's outta the house.

[00:39:42] And I'm like, why are we allowing ourselves to be locked inside? Instead of allowing ourselves to enjoy the world that God gave us, we take advantage of the gifts we have, and then we wonder, where did life go? What happened? Why are we not happy? 

[00:39:57] The Cost of TV and Social Media

[00:39:57] Tammy Adams: Because we're wasting how many hours a day get wasted on binge watching or spending time on social media?

[00:40:06] If we were to add up how many humans have wasted a part of their day, there would be so many hours wasted. Instead of them allowing themselves to be productive and doing something they're actually passionate about. If they become passionate, it's only because they finally gave up these two things, social media and tv.

[00:40:30] Autumn Carter: Hold on, I'm Googling. On average, a person will spend about seven to 10 years of their life watching television. 

[00:40:35] Tammy Adams: That's disgusting. 

[00:40:36] Autumn Carter: Sorry. Two to three hours of TV per day across an average lifespan of 80 years. That adds up to roughly 60. Hold on. 60, yeah. 60,000 to 90,000 hours of TV watching.

[00:40:51] Tammy Adams: That's so nauseating. 

[00:40:52] Autumn Carter: You could have another career. Yes. What are the things that you wanna do with your life? You have the time and space to do it. Don't tell me you don't have time and space. That's, 

[00:40:58] Tammy Adams: and this is my point. When I talk with people and I work with [00:41:00] people, and this is such a very powerful subject, even for children.

[00:41:04] I

[00:41:04] Children and Screen Time

[00:41:04] Tammy Adams: had this con, I actually had this, we talk 

[00:41:07] Autumn Carter: about the obesity epidemic. How much are they on screens? And let's talk about how they don't have the social skills and everything or what about those new things? 

[00:41:14] Tammy Adams: Oh yeah. I don't know what they're called.

[00:41:16] They are, yeah. And 'cause I talk to the kids at the school and they tell me about that. And they're like, oh I try to do my homework and then I do this. And I'm like how many hours? And I talk to the parents how many hours a day is your kid on that vr?

[00:41:31] And I'm like, oh, I can't get him off of it. I'm like, can I ask you a question? I talk to the parents, I'm like, who's the parent? I'm like he just throws a temper tantrum. Or she just throws a temper tantrum or she won't listen. And I said, but who bought it? 

[00:41:42] Autumn Carter: It's like potty training. Yes, it's gonna suck.

[00:41:44] But only for this amount of time and then it gets better. 

[00:41:47] Tammy Adams: Absolutely. And then unfortunately talking about a very negative, subject. One of the things that does stress me in regards towards this, and it's because of something that I work on with my nonprofit helping children is inappropriate things that pop up, [00:42:00] unfortunately.

[00:42:00] So it's hard for every single adult to sit there and say, gimme your phone. Let me put the lemme put it on the codes, gimme the tv, lemme put it in all the codes. It is. And 

[00:42:09] Parental Control and Responsibilities

[00:42:09] Tammy Adams: if you do have a TV and you keep your TV, like we do, control the situation and put on proper programs and make for sure you only have one where it could be seen, observed and, monitored.

[00:42:24] Kids don't need TVs in their room. I think that's very interesting that a lot of people say my kid has their tv. There's a little girl who was dealing with improper things at nine years old. And I was like, oh, okay, first of all, why does she have an iPad with no restrictions and why does she have YouTube and all that inside her room with a tv?

[00:42:46] So I dealt with that parent and her sister was abused and there was a lot of that in their family. So unfortunately, this little girl felt like it was [00:43:00] necessary to investigate. And then we end up discovering that something happened to the little girl and she's only nine years old. So in order to be able to deal with her issues, she felt like it was more important to research it and keep watching it, and then pay it forward to her friends or whoever it may be.

[00:43:16] We forget that indecency that's also on the tv. And these are babies. Not just the violence, but the nudity, the improper sexual content that's on television. Even a gum commercial or a burger commercial, it's just not proper you don't need to see a skinny person eating a cheeseburger and it dripping down her.

[00:43:30] I've seen that a few years ago and I was like, okay, we know she spit that burger out. So why did she just even advertise that? And it was looked like a improper, not child friendly commercial. And we forget our children, It's not about trying to figure out how to bring violence in their life or how to sexually introduce them to the world so young.

[00:43:48] These are babies, right? 

[00:43:50] Autumn Carter: I just had with my husband of. This is the time where we need to be allowing them to explore all their different interests. Yes. This should be happening while they're young. Absolutely. So when they're [00:44:00] older, they have more of an idea, they're more well-rounded.

[00:44:03] Because if we look back on anyone's lifetime, like even talking to you at the beginning of this, you start on a totally different career path. You see how it all lines up in the end? Absolutely. But that happens to everybody. What if you had a chance in your childhood to explore your different interests?

[00:44:18] Absolutely. And when you're ready to fall back on something else, you already know something about it. That's what this should be about. 

[00:44:25] Encouraging Outdoor Activities

[00:44:25] Autumn Carter: Summer's coming up. Yeah. And I plan on every Friday. We're spending hours at the library. So beautiful. Explore, your interests. What else can we do? We do a lot of YouTube videos and we are right there with our kids.

[00:44:40] My youngest, my 4-year-old, he loves Lamborghinis. He thinks every sports car is a Lamborghini. This is my grandson and he wants to be a Lamborghini driver. Oh God bless him. Tall, but, okay. So I talked to him about different things. Like you can be the designer. Yeah, you can be the mechanic. You could be the driver.

[00:44:58] There's so many different things there. So we're gonna [00:45:00] explore those. So what do we do? We go to YouTube. How is the Lamborghini made? 

[00:45:05] Tammy Adams: Oh, so beautiful 

[00:45:06] Autumn Carter: doing those things. And if they're not child appropriate like it's not like in the YouTube kids, then we'll preview it ahead of time. My oldest loves anything robotics, so we're spending a lot of time there.

[00:45:11] Nice. 

[00:45:12] Tammy Adams: So good. 

[00:45:12] Autumn Carter: Him a stack when I was at the library last Saturday and. We do a lot of Mark Roper videos. So he is somebody who used to work for NASA and he does a lot of, oh, so fun videos. So those type of things. And my daughter's really interested in animals, so we're exploring everything animals right now.

[00:45:30] Now a lot of that's so beautiful. Animal type planet. We don't have cable tv. So you know, Netflix, animal Planet, 

[00:45:35] Tammy Adams: that's what we do. 

[00:45:36] Autumn Carter: Uhhuh. And then my third kid is into construction, so we're spending time on construction. So it's really, what are you interested in? Let's go all in. Absolutely. It should be that way.

[00:45:36] Allow them the flexibility to choose. They don't need to be stuck in one sport for all their life. 'cause they're going into Olympics. Let them be well, well-rounded people 

[00:45:43] Tammy Adams: and that is so wonderful that you just said that just now because there's this other little girl that we just recently worked with and she was in, gymnastics, and she's been in gymnastics forever. And this little girl is, again, 11 [00:46:00] years old, and she has had, I don't know how many injuries that her body just hurt. She's 11 because she's being pushed, towards this subject until she finally was like, what do I do? Talk to the family.

[00:46:14] I worked with the family and I said, let's ask her. And I said, do you want to be in gymnastics so that you can make it to Olympics? Because her mother was almost an Olympic star and then she had an accident. Sometimes they So you moved 

[00:46:30] Autumn Carter: onto the trials? Yes. 

[00:46:30] Tammy Adams: Yeah. So you know how that is.

[00:46:30] And I was like, do you wanna be in the Olympics? Do you want this to be your dream or do you wanna stop gymnastics? What is your passion? And she goes, no, I don't. And then her mom's what, why didn't you tell me 

[00:46:45] Autumn Carter: if we're too busy watching tv, we miss these conversations. 

[00:46:49] Tammy Adams: Exactly. And the mom and dad. A lot of us, unfortunately, because we have busy lives, because we have busy careers sometimes wanna [00:47:00] unwind by going into that fantasy, like I mentioned earlier in the show, it's you wanna avoid, so you wanna go into a fantasy.

[00:47:07] Oh, let me just see what it's like to take a vacation. Let me see what it's like to get involved in this. Murder misery. Let me see what it's like to go, I don't know, I can't think of the, 'cause I don't watch very much. I can't think, but just different genre. Yeah. So you go into this fantasy so that you can escape instead of spending time with your children, helping them with their homework, even understanding what's happening in school.

[00:47:28] One of rules that I believe is so powerful and I don't understand why it's so hard is, and I see it and I observe it. And whenever we do go out to dinner as a family. Which is mainly my 12-year-old, 'cause my other kids are older and have their own homes. We always say look, around and do you see how many people are communicating or how many people are on their phones

[00:47:47] in a restaurant? Or how many kids are having a tablet in the screen as they're eating, and my daughter's oh yeah mom, I see that she doesn't have a cell phone. We won't let any of that right now until she's probably [00:48:00] 20. Have enough stress as it is. 

[00:48:02] Autumn Carter: Oh, mine has the, my oldest and then my daughter just got the Apple watches because I know where they are and when they're at friend's houses, they can text me.

[00:48:08] Tammy Adams: That's different. 

[00:48:09] Autumn Carter: Yes. And that's it. And it goes on school mode. Like it, they can only text us. Yes. Because then they're like, I'm ready for you to pick me up. But I am afraid to tell the parent have you ever Yeah, I unders, I know the parent's busy working or whatever. So that's exactly why we did and 'cause I can track exactly where they're.

[00:48:27] Oh, it's so important to talk. They're not getting a phone. I think they can call, they have a phone. 

[00:48:30] Tammy Adams: Absolutely. 

[00:48:31] Autumn Carter: Nope. 

[00:48:31] Tammy Adams: That's, it's a conversation we had also. But who was my point? Oh, so we, when we're at the dinner table and when we eat and when we spend time together as a family, our phones are never near us.

[00:48:44] It's just, it's not okay because we allow ourselves to spend so much time, as a matter of fact, more science proof. How many times has it been talked about that due to watching tv? 'cause a lot of people will do TV or social media on their phones that people's neck and their whole curvature and their posture is becoming destroyed due to this [00:49:00] movement 

[00:49:00] Autumn Carter: driving down the road.

[00:49:00] The other, we live in an area with tons of kids. We moved here on purpose. For my oldest, who's crazy social, they're walking down the neighborhood like this. And they're crossing streets like that. Everything else, they're passing other children, not even saying hi.

[00:49:15] Tammy Adams: Exactly. 

[00:49:16] Autumn Carter: No lack of social connection. Not gonna be my children. 

[00:49:17] Tammy Adams: No. And it is just, we have so much life to live. And they were talking, we did this study a few years ago back I spent time, I don't know if you've ever heard of Burning Man, and we spent time doing some studies of how basically how to pay it forward and how to allow yourselves to be a part of a world the way it used to be back in the day, right?

[00:49:43] Where it was just, let's trade, let's be family, let's be connected. No money involved, no technology, no civilization, just a group of people living. And it's hard. And there's good groups and there's bad groups. You gotta know where you're gonna stay in this area. I was with science people with neurology, and we were studying [00:50:00] manifestation and brainwaves and the power of minute meditation.

[00:50:06] And anyways, it was a really cool experience. I seen celebrities, I seen normal people. I've seen all different kind of people there. It was very interesting. And so many people talked to us as though they've never had this type of freedom and experience before. This is what I like, this is what I don't like.

[00:50:25] This is who I am, this is what I'm about. And why can't the world just be like this? Man? Life would be so great if we just allowed ourselves to be free and just to be together. And you wonder how do the people those blue zones where they live to be so much older why are they living to be so much older?

[00:50:40] Autumn Carter: Social connection is a huge one. A hundred million percent. 

[00:50:42] Tammy Adams: So one of the things that I have done with my children, since they were very young, is spent time with them and taking 'em to these very rural areas and these rural places, showing them, look, I'm not just saying it. Look at how these people live.[00:51:00] 

[00:51:00] Look at how they communicate. Look how this 90-year-old just walked up this steep hill that's this big without a cane, and she's carrying groceries. People have so much potential. We all have potential, but when you waste your life like you said, obesity in America. Oh, father God, we have beautiful mountains, oceans, lakes, streams, everything all over America.

[00:51:20] And we don't take advantage of the beauty that's around us. How many times I've heard this in my lifetime. I live over here, but I've never been there. But why haven't you been there? Why don't you know where, what hike to take? Why don't you know what river's near you? Why don't you know what ocean's near you?

[00:51:38] Like why haven't, if people are traveling across the world to go there, why can't you go there? It's in your backyard. And so many people, I don't have time, but they have time for tv and I get so confused how we prioritize things. We need to get our control back into our lives by allowing ourselves to set limits.

[00:51:58] And it starts off [00:52:00] slow. So if you really do have an addiction, 'cause some people are really truly addicted, if you truly have an addiction, start keeping like a log. So we used to gosh, when my kids were younger, we used to have a whiteboard where Monday through Friday or Monday through Sunday.

[00:52:20] And we used to be like, okay, this is your duties today. This is for my son, this is for my other daughter the, younger kid or the older kids. And we used to have their responsibilities and all their duties and all their things that they were supposed to do that day. And of course their programs of okay, Angelo has to go to wrestling.

[00:52:40] My other daughter had to go to ballet. We had them in so many things so that we didn't go near television. It's like we lived outdoors. And then on the weekends we were never home. We always were hiking or doing something or at some type of a game Point is, if you looked at that score that by the end of the week we'd look at the score.

[00:52:59] Okay? How [00:53:00] many hours were spent on TV this week? Just so you're able to be aware. 'cause my son was very Video games. 

[00:53:07] Autumn Carter: Oh, they have to earn it. And the max they get is 30 minutes on a weekend. 

[00:53:11] Tammy Adams: He would like, please, mom just beg me I'll clean the yard, I'll wash the car.

[00:53:16] But it's like 

[00:53:16] Autumn Carter: total of the screen time. Like here it is. And they have their tablets, but they are only, they're the Kindle kids. Yes. Yes. My husband locked them down further and then we put limits on the screen so we're not yelling at them. The screen automatically goes, your time's up and then is up. Yeah.

[00:53:31] See I don't, you don't have 

[00:53:31] Tammy Adams: to be the bad parent. No, you, there's so many ways, and like I mentioned earlier, and you even said it, the putting in those parental codes is a necessity for children. But if we can create our own code for ourself. By limiting ourselves and learn how to have more responsibility of keeping our lives in the direction where we want them.

[00:53:56] See, we have great [00:54:00] excuses. This is what I tell people. We have many excuses, but that's what they are. They're excuses. People wanna say I have this problem, I have this problem, I have this problem. I can't do this, I can't do that. And I said, all of those are excuses. There is no reason one human being on this planet should not be successful.

[00:54:22] I have seen people who have been through hell and back and have been the most prosperous person. I have seen people who have had everything and every opportunity be the most troubled, complicated, disconnected person, stuck inside their house with God knows how much medication. So it really doesn't matter what family or what scene you come from.

[00:54:48] Or what your circumstances are, it matters of what you do today. So those who have been manipulated, those who have been traumatized, your life's not over any human being on this [00:55:00] planet can change today. 

[00:55:01] Autumn Carter: And that goes 

[00:55:01] Tammy Adams: through 

[00:55:01] Autumn Carter: age too. 

[00:55:03] Tammy Adams: Absolutely. People forget that we have the power. And I keep saying that because I wanna remind every human being that's listening to this.

[00:55:11] We have the power, not tv, not this program, not social media, not anything that's out there, doesn't control us. We allow it to control us. We allow it to manipulate us. We allow it to harm us, we allow it to traumatize us. We allow it to shake up the nerves and the vibration, the energy inside of us.

[00:55:30] But if you want your heart chakra and you want your third eye to be able to allow itself to be in balance, you have to stop. Trauma, you have to stop the manipulation that we do to ourselves. And the more we change that frequency and we're like, I'm done. And limit it. 

[00:55:50] Addiction and Recovery

[00:55:51] Tammy Adams: Like I said, there's a person I'm working with, God bless him, and he is addicted to lots of [00:56:00] drugs and he's been on drugs since he was 14 and he's 59.

[00:56:07] Phew. So it's just been a, he's a new client. I've been working with him for three weeks. He is off of two medications, but he's still on some serious drugs. But he is off Xanax and he's off of another gosh, what was it, Xanax, Prozac, I think it was Prozac. Anyways, off these two drugs that are prescription and he's actually.

[00:56:26] In a very high profile business position, which I am like, I don't even know how you function because of who he is. And he goes that's why I take so much because I need to stay sharp. And I'm like, oh my God. I'm like, okay. You have that ability within you without this. So on the weekends, in order for him to rejuvenate, he said he just sits at home.

[00:56:51] He doesn't leave his house. 'cause he works so hard and he just watches TV all weekend. He just sits there all day long, watches tv And [00:57:00] unfortunately he hardly eats. He forgets to eat. Like I have to call to remind him to eat. That's, like what I have to do to help this particular client.

[00:57:11] And I'm like texting through a private thing, 'cause I don't like people having my phone number and I'm like. Make for sure you eat today and this is what you need to eat in order to detox from whatever it is that you have created inside your body This weekend that just passed his homework was to get out and to actually be seen and not worry about judgment, not worry about anxiety, not worry about what's gonna happen, not worry about if there's gonna be too many cars on the street 'cause he can't deal with too much stuff going on at the same time.

[00:57:36] And he did amazing. Unfortunately, he not saying that Chick-fil-A is a bad restaurant, but I didn't want a meeting French fries because I'm trying to detox him, right? So I was like, I wish you just ate. Chicken and a kale salad. Not french fries, because it's good, but whatever. It starts, you need it, it's fine.

[00:57:56] And he was laughing. I got a milk shake. Progress, not perfection. Progress. [00:58:00] Progress, yes. And he goes, and I got a milkshake. I said, you need the fat. Good. Perfect. You needed that. Because very thin, long story short, being outside and allowing ourselves to have that opportunity for taking advantage of life.

[00:58:24] That's what I would say, like really just taking advantage of life, going out there, enjoying the walk spending time with people. Being social community, it's something that we all don't take advantage of and we don't take advantage of it because we feel the worry, the stress, the anxiety of judgment.

[00:58:43] We feel the worry, the stress, the anxiety of performance. And the truth is. Unfortunately, everyone's feeling the same way. So as long as you remember, you know how comedians say, or if you're up on stage, they say, imagine everyone naked. And that's one of the jokes that people say, right? So that way you can allow yourself to do a good job and not feel shy or have an issue with speaking out loud.

[00:58:58] Unfortunately, I've never had that issue. [00:59:00] I love talking, so I'm like, no, I'm good. But I explain to people how every single human being feels exactly the same way. And the truth is, it is. If I didn't work with so many people and didn't teach and talk in crowds and, have this profession that I have, being able to share stories and hear their feedback, I wouldn't have the facts in my being, in my knowing, in their charts that I have at the office. It is a fact that people feel. This exact feeling, anxiety, anxious, I'm not good enough. And if you allow yourself to realize, wait a second, even the most confident looking, the more confident they look, the more beautified and perfect a person looks, the more that person sometimes, not all the time, is lacking even more confidence, because that is called false confidence, right?

[00:59:57] They're trying to make themselves look confident [01:00:00] so that they can fit that scene, right? And so that they can be able to raise their vibration because it teaches you that look this way, and you're gonna get the job. There's this one program that a client told me about, and I'm thinking of this one lady that I'm working with and the program was about looks.

[01:00:22] She's in the movie business and she was in this program, I don't remember the name of the program, I'm sorry, but it was teaching about looks and she said that how many people get judged legally? I don't remember the name of the program. I keep trying to think of it for you, but bottom line, they get judged legally.

[01:00:39] So let's say you did something wrong, right? And if you go into a courthouse and you don't look good, then the judge is gonna be more harsh on you. But if you look good, the judge is more lenient on you. And she was sharing this information with me and I was like, I don't understand your point. I don't understand [01:01:00] what this has to do with anything.

[01:01:01] And she said it's the same way in the movie business, if you look a certain way. They'll be easy on you, but if you don't perform and look a certain way, you won't get this part and all this other stuff. And I said, but listen, one of the things we talk about is how you can change the world and how you're acting can actually make a difference for other people on big screen, right?

[01:01:24] We're talking about you being an influence to change the vibration frequency of children and people helping them to show that's not your burden, that's not your worry. You're confident, you're showing that you can do all of it at the same time. And that's what we work on with this one particular client.

[01:01:41] And she said, I know this is my fear. This is my worry. So we've been working on that. But the point is that we allow ourselves to not see as in individuals, as we go out in the public, that these [01:02:00] people, every human being out there as sharing the same story. We have inside ourself, fear, burden, worry, anxiety.

[01:02:04] Am I good enough? Do I look right? How am I gonna start the conversation? What am I gonna say? I may be too shy. The only thing negative a person can do is to not live for themselves.
