Yeah. Yeah. So if I could give people a takeaway to start with, that's really simple, but it doesn't mean there isn't a lot of hard work at the other end of it. It would be, be very clear on what it is that you want. So you've mentioned a few things. Spend five minutes sitting down and visualizing those things being true and then give gratitude for that. That would be my first step.

Those things being true. Just five minutes. I'm a great partner. I'm not messy. My podcast is super successful. Like see it, feel it in your body, taste it in your mouth, hear it in your ears. Completely immerse yourself in that five minutes, longer if you can. And then just be so grateful for all of that. Essentially, what you're doing is moving your brain from a fear state to a trust state.

And that is the gateway to making these changes.

Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the place you choose to become happier, healthier, and more healed. Today's guest is someone that I've wanted to talk to for such a long time, and I'm so excited because we finally have her in the studio. Actually, we're all the way in London because we didn't know when she was coming to LA, and I'm so glad we made it happen.

No, no, this is something I was looking forward to all week. I can promise you it's a Thursday for anyone who's listening. And I've been recording all week and I was really excited to sit down with you. I think the work that you're doing is so similar in value to the work I'm trying to do in the world.

I really believe that for so long, ancient wisdom and the wisdom of the East especially has been seen through two lenses. I think there's been a lot of enthusiasm towards it and a lot of value and reverence. And at the same time, I think there's been, as you say, skepticism and cynicism around it. And so to have someone of your caliber, your research, your insight,
