Be Heard: Empower Yourself
Step Fully Into life
My co-host tonight, Erin Celise, who we have been doing certain things together. Very exciting, differentiating, getting variety. And this is one of the episodes that we've been doing on my spiritual guides that I have five of. Erin had right in the beginning said they give me messages for you. But as a life coach, she also has a plan called action. And I'm going to have her talk about that first, because I think I'm on the T in action. So, we're going to spill the tea.
Erin developed the actions and really it is related to the Akashic Records and how your soul realignment kind of goes because you can get your soul reading and kind of see what's in your past lives but what do you do with it. We are in the third dimension that is our reality but there's the fourth dimension which is basically our thoughts. It exists but it's not really tangible and then the fifth dimension is the Akashic Records.
Be Heard, Empower Yourself—the podcast where your voice matters, your story has power, and your journey is just beginning. I'm your host, and together we're diving into real conversations, bold insights, and transformative ideas that uplift, inspire, and ignite change. This is your space to rise, speak your truth, and step fully into the life you were meant to lead. So let’s break barriers, build confidence, and become unstoppable—because when you’re heard, you’re empowered.

Hi, everybody. It is Mimi of Be Heard Empower Yourself, along with my co-host tonight, Erin Celise, who we have been doing certain things together. Very exciting, differentiating, getting variety. And this is one of the episodes that we've been doing on my spiritual guides that I have five of, I believe, Erin. Okay. And Erin had right in the beginning, she said, yes, they give me messages for you. But as a life coach, she also has a plan called action. And I'm going to have her talk about that first, because I think I'm on the T in action. So we're going to spill the tea. All right. Tell us about the action.
Erin Celise:Yep. So yes, I developed the actions and really it is related to the Akashic Records and how your soul realignment kind of goes because you can get your soul reading and kind of see what's in your past lives but what do you do with it and you know every time I start out a session we talk about the different dimensions you live in so we are in the third dimension that is our reality but there's the fourth dimension which is basically our thoughts it exists but it's not really tangible and then the fifth dimension is the Akashic Records so when we're doing clearings and everything we set intentions up in the records but intentions are the easiest thing to clear because you can set an intention like I can say yes my intention is to eat healthier great I set an intention but that has to come down into the fourth dimension into your thoughts and you have to change your thoughts around that you know I'm going to have this instead of this or you know whatever if you want to use that analogy and then finally the only way to really make it change and stick is to make different choices. And the choices are in the third dimension. And that is the hardest because that is you doing something different in your reality. So that's why it's called actions because you have to remember it's actions that you take. So you can say, well, I did all my clearing and you did the clearing work for me. So my Akashic records are clean. Why hasn't anything changed? Well, if all you did is go, yes, I let you clear them. And then you go on doing the the thing you kept doing, nothing's going to change. So, yep. So the first thing is a, and it is a C T I O N S. So it's your seven step plan to alignment and, you know, your full soul abundance, I guess. But, um, you're, you start with awareness and that's really what the readings are, is your awareness in your past life. You got to be aware. And once you become aware of that, um, you kind of have to wake up to it. So it goes into C and the C can be clear because we do clear things in that but really the bigger part is the challenge you have to actually start challenging the way you have been doing things based on what you now know and that's hard so challenging your current thinking challenging and say wait a second I always you know go for this kind of guy or I always do this I got to challenge that I have to that's the part now it doesn't mean you're actually necessarily doing it different but you got to challenge those thoughts so T is where you are making the transformation in front from being aware and being in the fourth dimension really where you're the transformation into actually doing something so that's pretty great actually to see that and know it
Speaker 01:so I think I'm there but before I divulge anything I want to hear from my spirits Miriam has been very quiet she's one of the ones I never hear from her but have you heard some messages for
Speaker 00:me? I did. Yep. Yep. And I always start, I open the records and then I just say, is there any messages? And when it, when it's yes, there's messages I go, okay, let me see where we got. So the big one that came up today was go with the flow, that there is a new flow or a new rhythm and a new frequency to follow. And you must follow it. It came in as a white light. It's, it's white. Like The aura, it's white. But also... And then they just come into chunks. So it's almost... I don't know. It's like almost a dream, but not... So it's not really words that come to me, but it's just... things but anyway there's a box and it it was a pandora's box but not in a bad way that was just the image and you have to open it and what you were looking for is in there and it was a dark wooden box with hardware on it huh
Speaker 01:interesting
Speaker 00:um but it is there's radiating white light around you now and clear crystals so i don't know if you have clear crystals or you were getting some But we are, you know, like...
Speaker 01:We have a clear crystal or two. Yeah,
Speaker 00:it might have some in the house. The clear crystals came up. So this... Yes, last time there was some of that imagery of yellow flowers and stuff. And this time it was white and crystally. Yeah, it is still there for you to take. And there's somebody that's going to be insistent that you take a gift.
Unknown:Okay.
Speaker 00:And you won't need it for a while, but you need to take it anyway. Just ended with your field has changed, so.
Speaker 01:Yeah.
Speaker 00:Your whole field has changed.
Speaker 01:It is. It's amazing. Okay, so. We talked about this before. Then I do counseling. I mean, counseling. And, you know, I have drama like anyone else in their family. There's always drama with one family member or another. And my oldest daughter, which was totally out of character for her, asked if she could come to my session. Now, this is... Yeah.
Unknown:Yeah.
Speaker 01:Her name starts with T. So that's kind of interesting, isn't it? And she came, and I thought she'd only, like, come from the beginning. You know, she was there for the whole hour, all right? And she just was like my... Like an advocate, like she just vindicated me in a way of what some of the toxic people in the family, the way they treat me, you know, the way they make it look, that's not true. And she said, you know, this is what's going on. And I want you to know, because my mom will minimize it or say, well, you know, this or that. So we talked about boundaries. That's a big thing. And there's a person I have to set a strong boundary with that's going to be very hard, but I have committed to doing and going to do that. Meantime, I... Went into my own, I've been meditating every day since our last session. And I said, okay, I wrote the books and I have the podcasts and I feel like I'm stuck a little bit. Like I want to do more, you know? And I thought about what do I really want to do? And I know what I want to do. I want to speak. I want to be a speaker. Why? With people around me and an event. So this was my imagery. my dream that came to me, that I want to do that. And I talked to, a lot of people are starting to do this, the co-pilot, you know, the chat thing. And once you start like a conversation with them, they sort of keep you, like whenever you go on there, they pick up where you left off. sound like you're getting a new guy. You know what I mean? Like he'll say, oh, how's this thing going? Or how's your podcast going? Or did you work in that other thing? Which I think is amazing. But I talked to him about it. I don't have a name for him. I say him. And he was so good because he said, do you want me to help you with the plan to accomplish this? And I said, yes, please. And he wrote out this whole plan of action of what to do and how to find events to speak at
Speaker 00:and
Speaker 01:how to go about everything. And so I have a media kit made up already. And he gave me a list of places to contact. I'm like, oh, my gosh, it's happening. Yeah. Yeah. I've been the team,
Speaker 00:I think. Yeah. So. That precisely goes with the actions like you. You have a plan. You have it mapped out. It's not going to go anywhere unless you actually step into it. So, yeah, I'm actually speaking in a week at a women's leadership summit about women in leadership and using AI.
Speaker 01:Really?
Speaker 00:Yes, because women tend to give away their sovereignty. Is it going to be available online? Yes,
Speaker 01:it'll be online. Send me the link. Yeah. But there are, you know, he gave me a couple of places to reach out to. And he also, which is, you know, very reasonable, you know, look at my experiences. What did I write about? Number one, I wrote about trauma. I can speak about surviving trauma and domestic abuse. Absolutely. Then the second book I wrote about my father being adopted and growing up thinking that we were Italian and that he was part Irish and finding out that he was 100% Irish after he died. And I wrote that book. So I definitely can talk about genealogy and ancestry and even the theme that keeps coming through the generations because what I found out going back into my roots was there was a lot of alcoholism Okay. So that's definitely a topic. And then my last book, anatomy of an alien, which you know, is all the medical problems I've had 20 some operations of 20 years. It's crazy. In fact, after, after I published the book, I had two more things come up. I said, geez, I should have waited.
Speaker 00:You getting started already.
Speaker 01:Yeah. So, but I could talk about, I, can talk about so much about medical doctors that really don't know what they're doing and the fact that you can have a disorder or disease that just is not getting recognized because you're not going to the right doctor. There is so much I could talk about because I actually have not one but two autoimmune diseases, okay? And the Shogun's syndrome, of course, like a lot of people didn't know about it, they're starting to know about it. So I have that one. But then I also have it has to do with my spine. And it's called ankylosing spondylitis. Okay, and it basically is your spine over the years degenerates more than a normal person, like faster. So I know I have that. And they both cause pain. Well, I had an MRI because I have to go to a specialist because I can't even walk, the pain is so bad in my back, down into my leg. So I go and I get the MRI and I get the report. And the report said, it said about, you know, what disc was pressing on another disc causing the pain, you know, so we figured that out. But this is amazing, Erin. They said... When people have ankylosing spondylitis, they most likely will also have Sjogren's syndrome. What? What? I mean, I was like, this is crazy. So I think I meant to talk about that too. That is amazing. So I have at least three areas that I could like cold walk in and talk about, not even prepare. So he said, okay, so you don't think there's foundations and organizations that deal with those certain things. You reach out to them and say, you know, at your next event, if you would like a speaker, I'm available and I can talk about this, this, and this.
Speaker 00:Isn't
Speaker 01:that great?
Speaker 00:That's amazing.
Speaker 01:Yeah, it blows my mind. And the most amazing thing is the fact that for 20 years, doctors kept saying, oh, you don't have Sjogren's, you don't have Sjogren's, you have fibromyalgia, you have this, you have that, you know. And then when they finally, you know, realized that I had Sjogren's, then it starts showing up how it was affecting different parts of the body. And that's something I think people should learn. Like, that was something that I could speak about what I'm a lot of experience, you know? So I'm at my T. I think that's it. And what's the I?
Speaker 00:What's next? The I is the integrating. So once you do your transformation, you really have to look at how you're integrating that into your life and keeping those steps. Because it can be a bit like exercise. You don't really get credit for exercise you did last year.
Speaker 01:Right, you always
Speaker 00:save it. But the more you integrate into your life... of making these choices that are in alignment, the more that you just stay in alignment. Exactly.
Speaker 01:So my integrating will be taking my vision and the advice I got from my AI guy and putting it into action to do it, to actually do it. And so that's great. That's wonderful. And the other thing I want to tell you and our viewers is we also, Erin and I, have talking about how to publish, self-publish your book. Because everybody always says to me, oh, you wrote four books. Oh, I'd love to write a book. Could you show me how to write a book? I'm like, what? How much time do you think I have that I can show you how to write a book? You know what I mean? So I was on, I think it was Facebook, a group, and it was about publishing and writing. And this person said, oh, I really need help knowing how to do this stuff and I wrote in there and I said well our podcast Be Heard Empower Yourself is doing 10 sessions on how to self publish a book so I mean you want to know how come look so our first episode just got put out yeah and I'm excited about that too I think that's what really got help a lot of people, you know?
Speaker 00:Yeah. Yeah. That's a fun one.
Speaker 01:It's going to help you too, because you're still working on a book that really isn't published yet. So I think for me, doing these things, you accomplish more. So yeah. What I'm getting at is sometimes when you're teaching something, you learn more than the student.
Speaker 00:Yeah. You get really good at how to do it. Exactly. You have to be able to express it and teach other people.
Speaker 01:So it's good. It's great. And I explained that, you know. Be heard, empower yourself has always been about variety of topics. It's always a variety. So now we're making these varieties into little collections. Like we have the spirit guides and a cache of records. And now we have the writing and getting published. And in between, we're going to have all these other empowering guests. So I think I'm excited. Like excited. Yeah.
Speaker 00:It's going to be a very good fall.
Speaker 01:Yeah.
Speaker 00:Yeah. So I think my spirit guides
Speaker 01:will be proud of me.
Speaker 00:You have definitely stepped into the action. Yeah. Yeah, they just are, they're seeing less resistance. They're like, okay, finally. She
Speaker 01:knows she can do more than she's done because what I already did to a lot of people is a lot. Like they're like, you wrote four books and you have a podcast and a YouTube show. I mean, that's tremendous. But in my mind, I have so much, I have so much creative thoughts all the time. I don't think I should say to myself, oh, that's enough. You know what
Speaker 00:I mean?
Speaker 01:Done. Because I'm not done. You are not done. No. As long as I have breath in my body, I am not done. You know. And whatever happens with my spine doesn't matter. Because I said years ago when I was young, I said, as long as I don't lose my mind or my voice, I'm okay. I could be, and I'm not kidding about this, because I used to work with quadriplegics and paraplegics in my career. I could be in a wheelchair and be, you know, paraplegic, whatever. But as long as I can still talk and think, I'm going to keep going. You know, that's who I am. Yeah. So, yeah, that's what's been going on with
Speaker 00:me in the last week or so. So you had mentioned a couple of times, but we were saving it for this episode. That last time we talked about the guides, there was a there. One of the keys that came up was it was the image of a door that kept opening. Yeah. But in the image I got was you standing there and you're kind of chatting this way and it would start to open behind you and you would just like shut it without. But, you know, keep talking here. Just almost subconsciously just kept shutting the door. And they said, don't do that. Stop shutting the door. You got to let this one open. So, but you said something kind of literally happened. And then I don't know, something else happened around that too. Yeah. Did you say a door, there was a door that opened and you left it open or? Trying to think now,
Speaker 01:if it was just a metaphor. Well, I definitely did not shut the door because I think that door was the speaking, the ability that I was overlooking that I could be a very good speaker, you know, and I was like kind of like that shutting the door on that.
Unknown:Yeah.
Speaker 01:I can't think of anything else with a door. So I just think it's that. I think it was the vision that you had about the door that stuck with me, you know? And I'm also getting a lot of time to talk about the letter T because the program that my husband is in now, they just sent me his plan and he's going to be going four days a week. And he calls it daddy school, or daddy daycare, that's what he calls it. But he's okay with it. In fact, he's a little excited about it. Oh,
Speaker 00:good.
Speaker 01:Yeah, he's good. So four days a week, he's going to get picked up like at nine in the morning, and he's going to go for speech therapy and physical therapy, occupational therapy, all of his needs. socializing with other people that are older, might have Parkinson's, are doing their best to not go to a nursing home. Instead, they're doing this. That's what the program is for. And it is the state of Florida that is paying for it.
Speaker 00:Wonderful.
Speaker 01:It is. And they were already here and he got all his medicines put together for him in those little bags, which that's That's great. Because he would do it. He has Parkinson's. His hands shake. So he's trying to do his medicines. They're falling all over the floor. Oh, my heavens. That helps me. Because I don't have to pick pills up. You know. But the best thing, the gift. We talked about a gift.
Speaker 00:The gift of time. Maybe so. Yeah. Yeah. There's some other gift coming to you, too.
Speaker 01:Oh,
Speaker 00:I find that someone's going to insist it's going to be. They insist that you take this gift. Oh, maybe maybe it isn't a tangible thing and you're going to kind of go, no, I don't really need it. But you have to be like, hold on. I'll keep it around.
Speaker 01:Yeah. Well, I already got a gift because this gift of time allows me to now go and work on my new interest. And that's wonderful. I never expected it. And it is wonderful because anybody listening that has a caretaker situation, somebody with Parkinson's, they can be very tough and stubborn about doing things. So I'm really glad that he's going along with this. This really is great. Great. So how are all my spirits? Who's acting up? Who's being good? Who's being quiet? Who
Speaker 00:told you about the crystals? It was kind of a collective. I didn't really get a singular one, although it wasn't Darina.
Speaker 01:Okay.
Speaker 00:They're Syrian. Yeah. And the one that was tripping
Speaker 01:me. Was that Philip or Felix? One of them. Like I literally fell twice.
Speaker 00:Oh, well, we should probably stop that. Yeah. So you have to start listening or you're going to. I said, I told them that as you don't
Speaker 01:have to physically trip me. I know you're nudging me, but I don't need to be on the floor. We're good. So yeah, my mind is very clear about what I'm going to do. And I'm looking forward to doing the episodes with you on writing. I hope you are too. Yeah. And I'll keep you current on how the speaking career goes. comes and see what happens. How's that?
Speaker 00:I think there's a lot of opportunities for that. And especially going to those places that are more specific, you know, like the suggestions you got. But I think those are some good opportunities that people kind of overlook. They wouldn't think to go speak in front of those smaller groups because they're thinking, big stage, I'm Tony Robbins, you know. We don't have to start there.
Speaker 01:I will do my homework, but I could find like www.parkinsonscaretakers.org Florida or Palm Beach County well I have to take initiative I have to write the email and say if you would like a speaker I am available and tell them my you know experience not only with my husband but and this is the ironic part and we'll probably end with this when the home assessment the the woman came for and she saw all the things I had done already. And I said, do you want to know something? Before I retired, my career was to keep people out of nursing homes. That's
Speaker 00:my career.
Speaker 01:Teaching independent living skills. And there's also, in most states, they have an independent living center. And that's what they do. They send people out and advocate and get people that are one step away because of their families and their worries. And I used to go in and teach them to do things so they didn't have to go into the nursing homes. I got people out of nursing homes. Nice. Just by finding technology and stuff. So I think life is the path you're on. You never know why at the time that you're on it. But then, voila. Here I am with all my knowledge of helping people. And that's my own husband. So good. Stay in the flow. That's what you started with. Stay in the flow. So we are going to, in a couple of days, be back and we're going to talk about the writing. And meantime, I'll have a couple other speakers on to talk about empowerment and different things that we'd like to talk about on this show. Sound good?
Speaker 00:Yeah. Wonderful. You're right. Anything to add? No, I just, I'm very proud of you. I
Speaker 01:like hearing that. Thank you.
Speaker 00:You're no longer saying, well, I don't know. It's really this other person. Maybe this other person did this and that's why I did something. But now you're like, nope, this is mine.
Speaker 01:That is true because when I had my daughter together with the counselor, that was something that came up that my daughter said, she keeps making No,
Speaker 00:no,
Speaker 01:no. She said, you have to realize this person is all about herself and you need to see it, you know? So yeah, it's been a great couple of weeks. I mean, there's been some bad things, but there's been a lot of thoughts getting cleared up and rectified. So this works. This works. Good. Good to hear.
Speaker 00:All right. Thank you so much for sharing again.
Speaker 01:Oh, yeah. I love it. And thank you for being here. And thank you, Spirit Guides, for staying by me and nudging me and opening cupboard doors. Breaking glasses. No more breaking glasses, okay? All right. Have a great night, everybody. You too. We'll see you soon.
