YOUR INNER STATE CREATES YOUR OUTER RESULTS - Shauna VanBogart
What if you could change your results by changing your state first? That’s the premise Shauna VanBogart brings to the table, blending personal branding roots with a deeper craft: shaping presence so your inner world and outer impact finally match. We dive into Resonance House, her immersive platform that uses cinematic, hypnosis-informed audio journeys to help you step into qualities like calm confidence, creative flow, intuitive clarity, and real capacity to receive support and money without flinching.
Shauna walks us through the “room” metaphor that makes growth feel tangible. The Receiving Parlor addresses a common high-performer blind spot: accepting help and praise without deflecting. The Velvet Library trains intuition as a practical skill you can strengthen. The Treasury reframes money as neutral energy and invites abundance without shame. Instead of information overload, each room delivers a felt experience that your mind and body can recall when it counts—on stage, in a negotiation, or during tough conversations at home.
We also get tactical about styling energy for the different roles we play in a day. The boardroom self doesn’t belong in bedtime routines, and creativity suffers when you attack it with a manager’s mindset. Shauna’s approach turns transitions into moments of agency: "decide who you need to be, then step into that identity with intention." For highly sensitive people, she offers a reframe: sensitivity is a precision instrument when you set boundaries and build recovery. Her photo energy reads show how naming emotional undercurrents can unlock momentum fast.
If you’re tired of pushing and ready to resonate, this conversation offers a refreshing path: train your state, and watch your decisions, relationships, and outcomes fall into place. Listen now, then share the room you’d walk into first. If the show resonates, follow, rate, and send this to someone who needs a state reset today.

Real estate market as a whole sometimes will affect it. Right. Okay. In real life, we all learn it. If you think about it, Wayne Dyer might not attract everybody and everything in between. The Brad Wiseman show. And now your host, Brad Wiseman.
SPEAKER_05:All right. We have a great show lined up for you tonight. I gotta tell you. I'm excited. Hugo, I'm excited.
SPEAKER_00:You're excited?
SPEAKER_05:I'm really excited, yeah. You know, it's it's cool. We're starting, you know, we've always had great guests, always had great guests, but we're we're getting, we're just kind of like really getting a lot of uh traction on some just fantastic guests that are coming in, telling their stories, and it's really exciting. So, you know, um this this lady here was actually introduced to us through Sylvie DeJusto, which I didn't realize until we were just talking. Um, but yeah, she was brought to us from from uh Sylvie, and her it's it's she's from Charleston, South Carolina. It says this is one of the things that's that I just caught me. It says, meet any moment from your power, not your patterns. Uh, I saw that, and then I saw not only is energy your currency, but how you spend it is your power. When you read those kind of quotes and when you see that kind of stuff, it just it sets it sets you off and goes, man, I want to know more about this. Let's hear it. Yeah. So Shauna Van Bogart is our guest tonight, and I'm super excited. She's coming from Charleston, South Carolina. What's the weather like down there?
SPEAKER_01:80s.
SPEAKER_05:Still. It's still. Was that it? Was that a dig on the north? I think that was a dig on the north.
SPEAKER_01:I'm a Minnesota net heart.
SPEAKER_05:So I thought you were digging on us.
SPEAKER_01:August around here is not my thing.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, yeah. It's really hot down there in August, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Right. So then when September hits, I'm like, let's let's go. Let's go.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. That's awesome. Well, I it's it's a place that most people say, you know, when I'm done working, when I retire, I'm going to South Carolina or North Carolina or Georgia. You know, people just want to get away from, they want to get away from up here because the the winters are a little rough. Right.
SPEAKER_02:They're a little rough.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. So yeah. So it's so funny how we figured out how we know each other. Well, you figured it out. You knew right away. It's through Sylvie, and we, and you know, we we have a great uh common friend, uh, it's Sylvie DeJusto, who we who we love. So uh that's cool.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, she's easy to love.
SPEAKER_05:She's easy to love. She definitely is. So yeah, so I've been watching your your stuff on Instagram. I've been I've been looking at everything you're doing, I've watched the websites, and recently you you started this new thing called Resonance House, or at least new that I could see, and maybe you've been working on it for a while. It is really, really cool what I'm seeing on there. A lot of it has to do with like energy and stuff like that, it has to do with image, it has to do with you know, um, all those things. So I just wanted to say before we get started, some of the other things that you've done is that you were top, you were world's top personal branding expert by Huffington Post. They named you that. Tell us a little bit about that, the personal branding that you've done.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so I came into image consulting in 2008, 2009. And that meant something very different to me when I launched it in Charleston than how it was received.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:So I took that word and I said, you know, it needs a different label. And at that time, the internet was a very different place.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Social media was very different. It was just taking off in big ways, like professionally. And I really entered the market of working with people's presence at that time as an image consultant in a really interesting time period because everything was moving to online presence and cultivating your online persona. And so at that time, I switched it over to personal branding as I kind of burrowed deeper into my craft. And initially, what was working with appearance, body language, communication became working with people's presence online.
SPEAKER_03:Wow.
SPEAKER_01:Um, and so I kind of lingered in that world uh for several years. And then with Sylvie, we launched a training hub uh that was international for a while. We had that for several years, and I just kept going deeper and deeper into people's presence.
SPEAKER_05:Wow. And so that's how it started. So you just kind of you you kind of used to scratch the surface a little bit, and now you're you're going in. You're going in. You're taking it deeper.
SPEAKER_03:I'm not, I'm going there.
SPEAKER_05:Right, great. What's what she's gonna say about me, Hugo? Um, but no, but it you're going in. You're actually just because it's it's so true. What we see out here is completely different than what's going on in here, you know, and I think that's a big thing today. It's almost it's such a common thing I'm hearing with our guests today that come in on the show is about being you gotta be good to yourself or with yourself before you can do anything else. You have to have the right energy inside, or you're gonna give off bad thing vibes and things on the outside. Right, right. So, so let's go into this whole thing of what is what is resonance? You have this site called Resonance House. What is resonance? What does that mean to you?
SPEAKER_01:It's a deep alignment with an inner world and your outer world. Uh, in the shortest way, it's a vibe and you know it. You know it when you walk into a house. You resonate with it or not, you can feel it has an energy to it or not. Um, we resonate with certain people. So it's really a deep, inherent connection that we have to something.
SPEAKER_05:That's cool. So it resonates. I mean, that's the the word resonates. It resonates with you. Uh and you know, and and we just had somebody on here recently talking about the the energy in a house that we that we uh talked to as Adam, right? Yeah. Yeah, and he was talking about, I mean, he sages homes. He actually goes in and does saging, staging in uh instead of staging or both, he does. Um and he does it because he says if there's a divorce in the house, there's energy in there that needs to needs to be maybe changed. You know, and and it's it's interesting. So what do you what do you offer then to people that come to you? What do you what are you doing? Like, how do you do this?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so um I've been in professional development, obviously, since 2009. And over the years, I had a very traditional coaching platform. Uh, my offer stack was what you'd see from a lot of coaches, one-to-one coaching, signature programs. And a few years ago, I just kind of was looking around at the industry and I noticed there was a shift happening. And I'm constantly asking myself the question, how can I get even better results? And for me, it was how can I create more of an experience and give people the direct result, not so much a lot of lecturing or intellectual theories that I'm giving them in programs and then they have to take home and implement. Like, how can I just give them the result? So as I sat back for years, I also went on my own personal journey, as we do in our reinventions. And what I learned now looking back is that the way that I got here to Resonance House was that I had to access more of me. And it's kind of the old adage. Um, perhaps even previous guests have talked about it when you talk about being versus doing, it's like when you're gonna go to a different place or a different level, whether that's in a relationship or your success, career, whatever, you oftentimes have to be or shift identity to get there. Like it's not gonna take the same things to get to the next level. And so as I stepped back, I realized I really needed to tap into my intuition and own those skills. I really had to tap into my sense of creativity and go even deeper and like push boundaries in that department. And so I started unlocking these different spaces inside of myself, of course, with the help of mentors and all of that. And then as I look at my audience and I just kind of sat back and listened for almost two years to what was happening, what was going on to my audience, uh, what were their direct needs. And this idea of energy started to become a bigger topic I was seeing online. And innately, that's always been something as a highly sensitive person that I pick up on since I was a child. You know, I can walk into a room and I can know exactly what the pulse is between that group of people and this group of people. And there's been some other services I've done with working with people's energy and being able to express back to them what's going on inside of them before they could really see it. And so I'm taking all this experience and I'm going, how can I deliver this? And along my journey, I had uh gone and gotten my um hypnotherapy certification as well, and had a mentor that I worked with for about a year and a half in that department. So I was doing hypnotherapy to create changes on a really subconscious level with people. And most of what I was doing was self-hypnosis tracks. And so as I took all of these things together, I thought, you know what, wouldn't it be cool if there was a house, a metaphorical house, that women could step into as this online platform and unlock these same rooms, oftentimes spaces within themselves that they don't really access on a regular basis for a lot of reasons. And so that's kind of where the idea started. And inside of these rooms, the core of it are these audio immersive journeys. But that again, I also wanted to take to a whole different level. I didn't just want a typical self-hypnosis track. I don't know if you've ever listened to one. It's like a guided meditation.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. So when you say, yeah, is it the audio track? I mean, we use actually we use it sometimes with my son and my daughter. We've used these, these the calming ones to to go to sleep. You're you're there's no danger, everything's okay, you know, that kind of stuff. So is it that kind of it it's it's it it's uh hypnotic. Yeah, it kind of just calms you down and puts you to sleep. Puts me, it puts me out right away.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, totally. Yeah, people are much more um you know susceptible to being hypnotized than others. You know, I really wanted to take it one step further and and make it more of an energy. Especially, I think women especially pick up on that. When we go into certain environments, it's either ah, like an exhale, or we're like, this environment's not it. Like vibes are off. Um, and so as I understood my audience really well, I knew there were some basic desires they weren't getting enough of that if they had in their life, like deepening their intuition or their creativity, that they could go do the things they needed to do and have the outcomes they were looking for across the board. So then the goal became how do I bottle up these energies into a 15-minute audio track that is like a hypnosis, but much more of a scene that they're a main character of that I'm putting them in that's really cinematic in tone and music, and it's much more like a journey. So I started playing with that. It was really well received, and then that's the rest of the thing.
SPEAKER_05:That's that's really different. I I don't know if I've ever heard of that, something like that. I haven't either. And it's you, it's your voice doing it?
SPEAKER_01:It's my voice. So uh did not know that I had a knack for um audio tracks and narration, but here I do. So this is not my this is not my hypnosis voice, but if you can you give us can you give us a little bit of your hypnosis voice?
SPEAKER_05:We'd love to hear it. Man, come on, come on, we want to hear this.
SPEAKER_01:All right, Brad.
SPEAKER_05:Go ahead.
SPEAKER_01:Take a deep breath. Inhale and exhale. And then imagine you're stepping into a room filled with swirling lavender light.
SPEAKER_05:That's good. That was good. You sound like the are you the lady that's on on the track we give that my son listens to?
SPEAKER_01:Maybe. I made a little journeys collection uh and there's a kid's sleep track in there. That's killing it.
SPEAKER_05:Wait, that'd be like shocked. Wait, I wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Is it possible that's the one we're using?
SPEAKER_01:No, I don't think so. Oh no, she's side resident house.
SPEAKER_05:I'm like, that's kind of creepy.
SPEAKER_01:But it's it's yeah, it's taking that is so cool. I'm like, maybe I need to pivot into kids' bedtime.
SPEAKER_05:Well, I think you know what it is. Kid kids, they have a lot of input, a lot of input coming into them. They have a lot coming in. I can't shut up. It's hard to and and and so do we. It's just that I think we somehow we're able to, or maybe we're not either, but somehow we're we're able to maybe deal with it better. But they get so much, just so much coming in. And I think it's just nice to hear that calming voice saying it's all gonna be okay. Everything's gonna be okay, it's all good. You know, close your eyes. Tomorrow's another day. You know, it's kind of that's kind of the stuff that that that I hear on there. And it's and it's stuff, listen us. I mean, we're talking about the same stuff, we're adults, and we need we need the same things they need. We desperately need it. Yeah, I mean, we do. We need we need all of that. And and I think it's it's what is really cool though is that I'm the the common denominator I keep hearing is this energy and and um and you know, figuring out the different rooms. Now let's go back to the rooms thing.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:What give me an example of a room like that that you've discovered or that you've uncovered inside yourself?
SPEAKER_01:I'm gonna take it one step further. I'm gonna give you a common one just among women. So this was a threshold I crossed myself, but I see it all the time with my clients. One of the rooms I created is the receiving parlor because women are notoriously bad at receiving, whether that's support, gifts, compliments without deflecting or feeling the need to immediately reciprocate. Um, and a lot of the women that I work with, we're talking high performers, insane drive and determination. They're oftentimes hyper-independent and doing everything themselves. And they do it pretty well.
SPEAKER_05:And controlling, probably too.
SPEAKER_01:And controlling.
SPEAKER_05:Not good at delegating.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, controlling, managing, right? Um, and so one of the areas that a lot of women have even said, like, I need to work on expanding my capacity to receive. Oh wow and that is either again, love support, more money, uh uh stable money, uh, whatever. So that particular room is a really important one because that opens the door to so much other stuff.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, a lot of times too, I think people will invest in themselves, but they do kind of have a block on receiving what's being given to them because it's triggering. It's it's a it's a vulnerable position to be in. A state of giving is a power position.
SPEAKER_05:Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01:Um, it's a control position. And so rip being in a receiving position is it's vulnerable.
SPEAKER_05:Well, and a lot of times that begins with asking for help. Absolutely. And then what comes back from when when you ask for help, which is a very brave thing to do sometimes, or feels like you're weak when you ask for help. Right. Um, because we're kind of taught that, I guess, through society. And then all of a sudden you receive the help. Right. Now you feel even more like you're, you know, it's hard that to receive. And I don't even and it's funny, I don't, and I guess it's more it what you're saying is it's more common with women. You you you feel that that that's the way it is. Or is it just because you are a woman and you're feeling that, okay, this is how I feel.
SPEAKER_01:I think I I mean it goes both ways, of course. But I think, you know, I was raised, I'm 41, and I was raised in a generation where I saw, you know, my parents saying, like, you be independent.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Like you go off and make your own. And most of my colleagues and friends in the same kind of age, demographic, same way. And so there was this fierce independence. We like, you know, left high school and it was like, I'm doing it all myself.
SPEAKER_05:And so um you want to know a statistic that'll follow that that you're gonna be amazed by. There, the statistic of single women buying homes far exceeds single men buying homes.
SPEAKER_01:Interesting.
SPEAKER_05:Is that cool or what?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, for you to know.
SPEAKER_05:No, it's a good point for you to know because it's a good and it's a fact. I mean, that is it's a statistic that if you look at it, uh, because what's weird is a lot of times the men will, the boys will stay at home for a longer time. And the girls are more independent, women are more independent and ready to make that jump out of the nest.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_05:And they end up buying homes by themselves. We see it. I'm telling you, it's unbelievable how many more times we see it. Yeah, I just thought you would want to know that from the real estate angle. I mean, yeah. I happen to know something about real estate every once in a while.
unknown:I would hope so.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, me too. But no, so keep going with that. So basically, the um the receiving is a big what the receiving parlor, is that what you said? I love that. I love that.
SPEAKER_01:And the thing for me, um, you know, I worked with people on really deep levels for a long time. And therapeutic presence, I don't know if you've heard that term, but in it's a therapy term, of course. Therapeutic presence is basically when the provider has a certain depth of connection with their client. And that leading to better results, it's been studied and verified. And so as I deepen my own presence when I'm with someone in connection and conversation, one of the things that I know is really important is treating all of these things as incredibly affirming and not that they're problems to solve, but again, uh more like projects to step into or spaces to unlock within yourself. So even all of these rooms, like the receiving parlor, they're all created in a way where when you walk in, this is not, oh, you have a wound and we need to close that gap. Like this is not the space for that. That's not that's not the energy, that's not what's resonant for me and my audience. It wants to feel like it's confirmation of yes, there's more inside of me. We're unlocking potential, not fixing wounds.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. And the fact that there is a receiving parlor tells me that I'm not the only one that needs this, or I'm not the only one that needs to be open to this, because there wouldn't be the receiving parlor if it wasn't necessary or uh something that we need to work on.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, this has been a long-standing, I think women are okay admitting that they need to stretch their capacity to receive. Because I had a program many, many years ago that I ran twice a year, and that was the basis of the entire program was helping you stretch into your, and every single woman came in like, yeah, I have a problem receiving support. I block it, I punt it, I resist it, I, you know, all of it. So um, I think that area is one that for my world has been quite mainstream. I think more recently, one of the other rooms is the Velvet Library, and that's where you go into increase your intuition.
SPEAKER_05:And that seems to be the called the what library? What was it?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, the Velvet Library? Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_05:Very cool.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, you go into that room to really hear that inner knowing, that inner wisdom. And that's a that to me is a topic right now that's emerging pretty widely, and there's a heavy, heavy interest, both both with men and women on increasing intuitive skills. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:And I think there's a certain part of that that's natural, and there's a certain part you can work on. You know what I'm saying? I I think there's people that definitely have more intuition than others. Do you think or no?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I do for sure. And I think that's where um the sensitivity comes in. I think I think people that are highly sensitive tend to also be incredibly empathic. And in being empathic, there's a sense of being able to pick up on information that is unseen. So, yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_05:I love this. This is so fun. Is there a basement room?
SPEAKER_01:No. Actually, I'm I'm working on it. I'm working on something that is like a basement. And it's it's it's the room that you go to when you really gotta face some stuff.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, and that's an interesting yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And you need to, it's down in the unconscious or the subconscious, and you really gotta go in there and you gotta work some stuff out.
SPEAKER_05:So it's and the basements are usually cluttered, so there's a lot of stuff there that you have to weed through to get to what you're trying to find, you know, that kind of thing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. I was thinking, I was wondering if there were some rooms, and you create more rooms where the there's certain rooms where only men can go or will exist as opposed to for women.
SPEAKER_01:You know, that was another idea in my mind of creating a wing. So the existing platform could be the wing for women, and then maybe down the road I open up a wing for men and I create the rooms based around kind of the desires or the spaces inside of men that they're looking to access. Because some of them may overlap, but I would have to talk differently to that audience. Yeah, and I would certainly have to create the tracks differently. So it's also an idea that's floating.
SPEAKER_05:Well, if you need any help on those rooms, let us know.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:I've got a I've got a mansion of rooms that you could probably tell you about.
SPEAKER_02:Love, love.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, so let's let's just keep going with this. Do you want to talk about any other rooms or no? I mean, this is just great stuff. I think people are gonna love this.
SPEAKER_01:You know, if you go to resonance-house.com, there's a one-minute preview of each room as well as a deep dive of each room on there. So everyone can go see the 12 rooms that are there and kind of experience a taste of it.
SPEAKER_05:What room is do you think is the most popular? Is it the receiving one? Is that the one that you think is the most important thing?
SPEAKER_01:No, there's a room called the Treasury, which is all about material abundance and money. I think that's one of the most popular ones. Um, I love that room. That audio track is awesome. It just, you just there's a there's like a uh treasury bath experience in that where you're essentially like floating in the in the energy of money.
SPEAKER_05:And it's it's just a really cool so it's money and a positive thing, not a negative thing.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, money in a positive thing.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, opening and opening up to it. Yeah, I love it. I love it. That's it that I don't think I've ever heard of this explained this way with the rooms. Uh, I think it really, really you know what it does, it makes it so visual for one. Yeah, and it compartmentalizes things too a little bit, so that you don't so that you're not working on all of yourself at one time, you're working on pieces of yourself. Like imagine if I said I was gonna redo my house and I want to paint all 12 rooms. You people be like, You're crazy. Why don't you just take one room at a time, right? Right, right. That's what you're doing. You're painting one room at a time.
SPEAKER_01:And they ripple, you know, when you work on one aspect, it can't not touch the other spaces. So it really doesn't matter where you go, it's gonna ripple out into every space, but then also almost every external outcome, you take you with you wherever you go. So if you work on your, you know, there's a heart chamber for relationship development, you know, if you go in there and work on your marriage, it's gonna ripple through to relationship development in your career. So it's the nice thing about professional development, is it's it's pretty hard to compartmentalize.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. But okay, so when you were coming up with this stuff, yeah, what were what were the things that you went that you realized about yourself or you really got deep on going, holy mackerel, I really needed to do this. I really needed to do what I'm doing here. Was there a time where you're like, this is groundbreaking? You know, it's it's definitely something different and groundbreaking. It's very unique the way you're doing it. Did you sit there and go, oh man, this is this is good for me? Like I'm I'm really getting something out of this too.
SPEAKER_01:I did. Yeah. I mean, accessing my creativity was really important because I was always a creative person. Um, are you familiar with 4-H?
SPEAKER_05:Uh yeah, for some reason I do know 4-H. I don't know.
SPEAKER_01:It's kind of the equivalent of like Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts.
SPEAKER_05:Yes, I knew for that's what I thought it was.
SPEAKER_01:You do projects, you submit them at the end.
SPEAKER_05:Yes, yes, I know what it is.
SPEAKER_01:So I did that my entire childhood. And the thing is you can pick project areas that you're innately interested in. So since I was seven, every summer I would do projects and then you submit them for the fair. And they were always creative. I was always doing creative stuff. And um, and I was always very musical and musically inclined. And so audio was a big part of my life and or just, you know, music in in general and professional development. I mean, ever since I was little, I was in 4-H doing demonstrations on accessorizing your wardrobe or acing the interview. Like I was always very interested in how we have built-in tools to get things.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And so for me, I did find a career where I was doing that, helping people use built-in tools to get things. But as the years went on, I kind of whittled away that creative side to me. Um, I think you just fall into a groove of this is how it's done in the coaching industry, and this is these are best practices. And so when I stepped back and had some space to really deep dive with the support of people and mentors, I really, really was like, I'm bored. Like I'm I'm gonna, you know, reinvent, but I cannot do it the same way I am bored. And I'm the kind of person I have to feel passionate about what I'm doing. I lead with myself and my personal brand. So if I'm not fully behind it with all of my energy, I know it's gonna make my marketing and sales a lot harder.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, because it's not authentic.
SPEAKER_01:It's right, right. And so when I when I came up with this, I mean, of course I was totally over the moon. Um, and it just it just it felt like all facets of me just locked into place. Like all of my favorite things, everything I love to do, it just all kind of clicked into place. So it's it's been like a homecoming for me, really, in a lot of ways.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, that's really cool. And you're only 41. My goodness. I'm only 41. You got so much to do yet. I mean, that's unbelievable. That's great, that's awesome. I I love the the power of styling your energy and transitioning states. I the vacation mode to work mode, work mode to mom mode. Like, can we talk about that a little bit?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, for sure. Um, so I have a four-year-old and a one-year-old. Oh, good for you. I know how that goes when I'm in drive mode all day getting stuff done, and then they come home at 3:30. And if I don't transition, I'm gonna take that into mom mode. And we do it, right? Like it happens. It's not great.
SPEAKER_05:It's not great to be in the there's usually some, some, some things in between that blend, I'm sure. When it goes from there to mom mode.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. It's um, you know, I bring a certain energy that is meant for maybe the boardroom that is not meant for being a mom, right? And and it doesn't work. And so having transitions or even just, you know, knowing I'm gonna leave for the weekend on a staycation with my husband, let's get out of that mode and let me shut my brain down and go into this space. It has been so helpful for for me to intentionally decide who I'm gonna be in the circumstance that I'm about to step into. Not only does it allow me to have a tremendous amount of self-agency, but when you approach it in a way that's not rigid, you also are much more adaptable to going with the flow because it's not gonna go the way that you probably want all the time, right? So if I at least intend like, hey, I'm about to move into a space, and who I need to be is in fun mode and relaxation mode, and I need to turn that controlling manager part of me off, and I just want to be in like fun, you know? Um, it has been so helpful.
SPEAKER_05:And it allows me to be more present. Well, yeah, and that's that's our biggest thing as entrepreneurs, as as driven people, is we tend to blend blend the spaces, the blend the people that we are. So we we end up doing personal stuff when we're at work, doing work stuff when we're doing personal stuff. You know what I mean? So, you know, a lot of times it's really hard. It's hard. It's and it to me, it's a work in progress. It is constant. I mean, I don't care who you are, we're human. You we know what we're supposed to do, but it doesn't mean that it always goes perfectly like that. But part of the whole thing is being aware of it, right? If you're aware of it, you can at least do a better job at it.
SPEAKER_01:You know, well, you know, I think there's only one thing you really need to be aware of that then you go, I need to take a pause and really listen for the deeper self-awareness is friction. It's like the goal is flow. And if it's not flowing, there's friction. And if there's if I'm feeling any kind of friction, it's because something's not in alignment. And most of the time I have control over that. Sometimes it's just no. And maybe you do have to push through, but I really don't like to be in any kind of like push-through energy. Um, and so even just styling your energy when it comes to like the workday, there are certain things that require the creative part of me to lead. But if I don't know that when I sit down, let's say to write content for marketing, that needs to come from the creative part of me, not the manager part of me. If you don't set that intention, you will go in there managing it, and then you end up having content or creating something that's really not that magnetic. It's it could be great, but it's it's not gonna be as magnetic when I come from the creative part of me.
SPEAKER_05:Totally understand. I I used to write music. I was a musician too. I should say, I'm still a musician, yeah. I sang for many years. Still sing here and there. Um, but yeah, I agree with you. When I used to write music, you you you can't go into writing music of I'm gonna write music. It's gotta be, it has to come through you. It has to come through you and and be a very um uh hard to say, like a rat relaxed thing. It shouldn't be forced. And when you're forcing creativity, it's not creativity.
SPEAKER_01:No, it's production.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, exactly. Yeah, absolutely. Very good term for that. So let's go into before we wrap this up, let's go into highly sensitive people. I've never really heard of that term or really, I mean, I might have, but and you're saying 20% of the population set uh and sensory significance is highly sensitive person. So HSP is someone who processes sensory information, emotions, social cues more deeply than most people. And you said that you are a highly sensitive person, is that right?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:So tell me what does that mean? What does that do for you? What is it? What are the setbacks of that? Or tell me what that all is.
SPEAKER_01:So it's a superpower and it's annoying because you you feel everything. And as my husband would say, not everything's 10 layers deep. Um this sounds familiar. You you I I feel it more than I'm picking up on words. And that term was not coined until like the past 20 years. It's a relatively new body of research and it is a biological, neurobiological like difference in that part of the population, evenly split between men and women, so it's not more women than men, it's even split. What does it look like?
SPEAKER_05:Like, what do you what how do you feel? What do you see? What is different than like somebody that doesn't have that?
SPEAKER_01:It's like I can tell by my husband's footsteps, let's say, when he's walking around the house, that like something's off, or he just had a confrontational conversation. And then if you know, if I listen, which is for me, it's a felt sense. I pick up very deeply on emotional patterns that are happening within someone, even when they're masking it through their presence. And so I can feel the emotional undercurrents of what's going on with someone. Makes me a very fast read and fast study of people. It's been great for coaching. Um, and actually, I think when we first connected, we I didn't have resonance house, actually.
SPEAKER_05:No, you didn't, you did not. It was not, it was something it was like your Instagram page.
SPEAKER_01:I was doing photo readings. That's what you were doing.
SPEAKER_05:I totally forgot about that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's what you're doing.
SPEAKER_05:Photo readings, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So people were. Did you read my photo? I did not. No, you never submitted photos.
SPEAKER_05:Ah, son of a gun. And you know what's funny? We were I was supposed to do that. I totally forgot that that's what that was what you were doing.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:So that's actually what attracted me was that. And then and then also well, what's good about this is then when you came, when you reached out again, or I reached out to you, I saw you all of a sudden I saw this different thing, and it was the residence house. I'm like, oh, that must be what I really thought was cool. But it was I remember the picture readings, yes.
SPEAKER_01:Well, the energy reads are on residence house, so people can find those there. But it's it's me picking up on your so you send me five photos. I'm we're not live, I pull them up on my screen, and I'm able to I turn my camera on like this, and I just flow for about 25 minutes based on what I'm feeling, what I'm seeing, untapped potential, some challenges that might be going on. So some people might liken it to intuitive reads, but frankly, it's just me leveraging my sensitivity. I just I pick up on everything. Um I've done hundreds of them. I've had a lot of them, and it's been really great for people to just feel seen. You know, just like a lot of times the power of just feeling seen and having someone articulate your emotions back to you when you can't put words to them. And that's kind of the sweet spot that I've landed in. So again, with sensitivity, you know, for a long time, as most sensitive people, they think it's a bad thing because it's just it's so much. You I mean, like a day like today, we're recording on September 11th. There were a lot of things that happened yesterday. You know, it's it's a it's a heavy day. Yeah, it's a really heavy day. And um collectively, you know, sensitive people tend to absorb a lot. And so and the nice thing about something like Resonance House is you start to come into control of your energy instead of letting it get hijacked by everything that's going on around you. And that's a really big um challenge for highly sensitive people is not letting their moods and their emotions hijack them.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, wow, interesting. That's very, very cool. No, I it's it's uh really interesting stuff. And and so next time, are you gonna have something else that I'm gonna have to like uh learn or do? Or I mean you're constantly changing things.
SPEAKER_01:No, I mean, I hope not. This is it. This was a two and a half year hiatus to reinvent. Now I'm I'm digging my heels in on resmond's house.
SPEAKER_05:Well, and thank goodness I'm not looking out on Instagram trying to find the girl that was reading pictures. I mean it's so funny because I totally remember going, oh, this will be kind of cool. I'll send her my picture before the show and she'll uh read it, and then I'll be like yelling at her, telling her she's wrong, and yeah. No, I would never do that. But no, I I really appreciate you coming on the show today. Um what what a great time. You are easy. You're not only you're eat you're good at reading people, you're but you're also easy to talk to. Very easy to talk to. And I can see why Sylvie and you were uh in partners together in a business because you're you both are wonderful people. Really cool people. Is there anything else that you want to say? Um how do we find you?
