And I think part of the reason I had that ADHD is because from 7 to 17, I wasn't allowed to have friends at all. My brother and I didn't really have much of a personality because we weren't allowed to. So after that, there was anxiety that came with the freedom, but also I'm allowed to have friends. I'm allowed to be social. So I was very extroverted.
And people would say, why do you have so much energy? Because I've always had a lot of energy. And I'd feel like, I don't know, I just have a lot of energy. And then I'd go to a doctor and they're like, oh, you have ADHD. So I took Adderall. which the side effects were really harsh for me. It was hard to sleep, hard to eat. So then I would smoke cannabis to make that work.

So I had this almost, now that I think about it, it was like a codependent cycle that I had with these things that was getting me by. But then I learned meditation and started to observe my thoughts, observe even the identity of having ADHD, and I started to let these go. and forgiving my ex-stepmom within, you know, I had that spiritual awakening that shifted everything.

So in the moment of the gratitude for everything I'd been through, I realized that I had a spiritual awakening. So in a way, I was grateful for what I went through, even though it was like, didn't make much sense and it didn't make it right that all this stuff happened. I genuinely was grateful because I don't know if I would have had a spiritual awakening if it weren't for all that pain.

So what ended up happening is within two weeks of recognizing this and forgiving my ex-stepmom, that manager that we literally tried to get fired for like literally two years, but she was so protected by upper management, she'd get away with so much crazy stuff and what she would say to people. What ended up happening, though, is within two weeks, she got fired. And it shifted when I shifted.

So that was a huge shift for me is understanding I had to take responsibility of that story. And I had to forgive her and take responsibility for my interpretation of her, which was a huge insight.

Now, what you're referring to is the process that I shared at a friend's live event, which is this process of ho'oponopono, which I found out about through a book that I read that was called Zero Limits, I believe. one of the powerful concepts in it came from the story of this man whose name was Dr. Hugh Len.

And he's known for modernizing this process of Ho'oponopono, which is a process that's been around in Hawaii for a very long period of time and has traditionally been used for families to get along because there's such a community-focused group of people. And what they would use is this process to heal grievances between different family members, but also different families in general.
