Hello to all. Welcome to Diva Za Care Network. I am Joyce Binning and I will be your host for this absolutely invigorating robust lifestyle show. I just want to thank each one of our listeners that have tuned in live today and the ones that will be listening to the podcast. I am just so very thankful for each and every one of you. And you are all in for a very, very special show today. As I have with me a Diva that is a host on DivaZec Care. She has also submitted her story in our mother's, our daughter's book with Diva Zec Care that is soon to be released here in the first part of May. So I am just so overly excited to have with me Julie Anna Mello today. And I am going to let her introduce herself to our listeners and tell tell us a little bit about who she is. So, Julie Anna, I will let you introduce yourself to our listeners today.
SPEAKER_02I like you said, my name is Juliana Mello. I live in Calgary, Alberta, and in my pre-cancer life, I worked for Alberta Health Services and after cancer decided that my life was meant to live in color and not just black and white. And so I left the corporate world to pursue my love of all things divine. And it is my great honor to be in the divas that care. I consider myself a spiritual wellness coach because after the cancer, I realized that life is a journey to heal and grow and learn and expand. And what I recognized early on is that the pathway to joy is through healing the heart, mind, body, spirit, soul. And I started my journey with a self-love focus, and it turned into many different facets. So I consider myself a spiritual wellness coach, angel advisor, speaker, and author. And so I'm so happy to be here with you today.
SPEAKER_01Oh, oh my. Am I ever excited to? Oh goodness, your intro was just absolutely beautiful. I love how you said you are living in color rather than just in black and white. Because that just I mean, how many of us are just going about our daily daily life, just living it like you said, in black and white. And just going through the motions, right? Right. That's exactly how it is. So many of us are just going through the motions and not even seeing the vibrant colors and living in 'em that are all around us. Oh, that was absolutely beautiful. And to pursue all things divine. Oh, Julie, I am I'm so excited to read your story already in the book and you haven't even shared anything from the book. You just shared to me about what you who you are and oh, I just love it. That you touched my heart already, girl. Thank you. Thank you, sister. I appreciate that. You are so very welcome. Well, on with that, what what inspired you to submit your story to our mothers, our daughters book with Diva Zet Care?
SPEAKER_02Well, this is where some magic happened. Through another uh community here in Calgary, I met a beautiful woman at the Women Talk Convention and her name was Nadine McGill. And in February 22, she sent me the anthology submission in Facebook and the Divas at Care Anthology Submission Guide. And so I said to her, Oh, um, what do I do? And she said, just email them. So when I decide I'm gonna do something, I do it. There is no waiting. I'm I'm that type that if I see something and I get that nudge yes, you're supposed to do this, I ooh, I'm getting all goosies. Um, I do it. And so I reached out to Candace and I had my piece to her within a few days because my story is on m um my mother, my friend, and as I was telling you in my intro, I walked through stage three peritoneal cancer in 2011-2012, and I realized I needed to heal my life. And pre-cancer, I'd always had a dream to go to Oprah. And, you know, I I prayed to God, God, why haven't I been able to get a ticket to Oprah? I live in Calgary, and you know, back in the days when she was doing oh her show in Chicago, it was really hard to get tickets. Well, lo and behold, she was coming to Toronto, and my mom said, I will come with you. And so that was the first time my mom and I went on a trip together, and the whole um I guess theme of Oprah's show was forgiveness. Now, my mother's been this beacon of forgiveness my entire life, and I learned through this healing process that forgiveness is such a vital part of us healing our hearts and moving forward with ease and grace and letting go. And we forgive for us, not for the not for the other person, right? Because we deserve it. And so my mother has been this lighthouse in my life, and to be able to share in this anthology a little bit about that story was truly i it it was something for posterity to honor my mum for the amazing light that she is in my life.
SPEAKER_01Oh, that is just absolutely beautiful. Oh, I love that. To just to let the world know what a shining light your mother has been for you and her her shining light of forgiveness. And like you said, it's not about forgiving for the other person, it's forgiving for our own self.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. And I think we get so hung up on you know, not forgiving because we're angry, and that's okay, we're humans. However, our spirit, our soul wants us to forgive so that we have peace to be able to move forward.
SPEAKER_01Yes. Peace to move forward and see all the color in the world and live in that color rather than in the black and white. Oh, oh, what a beautiful inspiration. And when you said magic happens at the very beginning, when you said you were just kind of getting chilled all over, I just had a chill run through me when you said that magic happens. I'm like, oh my goodness, magic I got it again. Magic is happening right now. Right.
SPEAKER_02It's such a beautiful when women share their stories, they empower other women to recognize, hey, you know what, if she did it, I can do it too.
SPEAKER_01Mm-hmm. That is so true. Oh, how beautiful. Oh, I just love that. And that you listened to me, you listened to your intuition that this is something I need to share with the world and Oh, wow, that is so beautiful, Juliana. I just love that. You are so welcome. Well, you have shared so much already. I'm gonna ask you, is there a golden nugget in your story that you would just like to put out there that's even going to spark more interest to our listeners that say, I want to read her story along with all the other women's and daughters' stories in our mothers, our daughters book?
SPEAKER_02I would say forgiveness is the most powerful thing you can do for yourself. If you can't learn to forgive, you can forget about achieving true success in your life. And I think that divine feminine in all of us, whether you are a f a female or whether you are a male, we all have that divine feminine, divine masculine, and in order to achieve success we must forgive. Because we deserve a beautiful life.
SPEAKER_01Yes, we do. We deserve to live in that color. Oh, how beautiful. Uh that was a beautiful golden nugget. I I am so excited to read your story in the book. Oh my goodness, that is that is just incredible. And I must ask you, uh as we have talked and the magic has seemed to run, I would like to ask you, after the book is released, would you please come back and be a guest on my show and just share a little more about what you do in the world to make it a better place with your coaches and the people who are in the world?
SPEAKER_02Oh, I would be I would be honored. Thank you so much for your time and your kindness and your love today and allowing me to share because I think that the mother-daughter relationship is one of the most formative in a in a human's life, and so I hope that people will run to purchase this book because it is a great gift out into the world.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yes. Oh, I so agree. And oh, I'm so excited that you accepted and we'll be back on my show and oh, this has just been incredible. I just want to thank you so much for sharing. I could tell you we're sharing from the heart, and that's that's when the true beauty comes through and the true magic starts to happen when you share from the heart. So thank you. Thank you so much.
SPEAKER_02Thank you very much. Have a pleasant day.
