This is the Good Neighbor Podcast, the place where local businesses and neighbors come together. Here's your host, Jeremy Wolf.
Speaker 2:Hello, hello everyone, and welcome back to the Good Neighbor Podcast. I am, of course, your host, jeremy Wolf, and today I'm joined by Michelle Barone, and Michelle joins us from Moksha Grace Consulting, moksha Grace Coaching, and Michelle is actually the mother of a previous guest that we had on recently, krista Barone, and I'm super excited to get into this because what you do, michelle, it really resonates deeply with me in where I'm at currently with my life. I always say, on the north side of 40, coming into a lot of life realizations and things like that. So get into this and learn about what you do, because I think it's incredibly valuable for people. So, with that said, first of all, thank you for joining us. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3:Thank you, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2:Of course, and thanks as always to our listeners for tuning in. Start off, tell us a little bit about Moksha Grace Coaching, Tell us about what you do, and then we'll get into the kind of the backstory behind it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely. Moksha Grace Coaching is something I put together after a few tumultuous years and, you know, had to have my tower moment and kind of you know break down and then you rebuild. That's what happens and you pick up the stones that people throw at you and you build your own castle. And so that's what I chose to do. And I created Moksha Grace Coaching because when I was in corporate, everybody stressed emotional intelligence. You know you always went to the classes, the courses. You know you got to learn emotional intelligence. You have to be aware about what other people are feeling and thinking and doing. But they never talked about how we could regulate our own emotions and be emotionally intelligent about ourself. And so I saw this gap and I wanted to fill it and help people control their own emotions, because that is the only thing we are in control over. That's it. We're not in control of anything else.
Speaker 2:I always tell I sorry to cut you off there. I always tell my children that same thing is that we truly only have control over internal what's going on right. All the external factors and externalities, these things that happen, we just react to them and often we tend to go down rabbit holes and we ruminate over external factors that we have absolutely no control over and it makes us suffer needlessly.
Speaker 3:Absolutely. And then we have these knee-jerk reactions that can ruin relationships, ruin jobs, ruin your relationship with yourself. You have all of these things that can come up for you because you're allowing your emotions to control you, versus you having a relationship and accepting everything that you're feeling and then moving on from there. So I love what I get to do. I love being able to bring people into that strength that they have inside and get to know that and so that they can live a more fulfilling and life full of harmony.
Speaker 2:I love it Now. Are you working exclusively with women, or do you work with women and men? What's your ideal demographic?
Speaker 3:My ideal demographic is anywhere from 30 to 80, going through life transitions. Your kids are going away to school and going away to college, and now you're going to be an empty nester. You're changing a job, losing your identity because something happened to your job, Been there, done that, got the souvenir, and so all of these things of rebuilding and being an advocate for other people is what I've brought in and how I coach, and so the things that I've been through are what I help other people go through. So my daughter's been through a health care journey. She beat the heck out of cancer.
Speaker 3:I have been that mom that never thought that childhood cancer ever existed. I never thought that I would have to be sitting in a hospital room praying that my daughter would survive, praying that my daughter would survive, and then dealing with the after effects of healthcare and long-term effects that no one ever told us about because we were just happy she survived. And so there's that aspect being a caregiver for our parents mine and my husband's and having to deal with that right and seeing our parents passing and transitioning. That was really hard. And so there's a lot of us that are now in that group that we have to take care of our parents. Maybe they didn't plan, maybe they did. We had a little bit of both, and so how do we get through that and still hold our identity and still hold our emotional center?
Speaker 2:I wanted to dig into that a little bit deeper because oftentimes what I've found throughout my journey is that the more challenging and trying experiences where at the time going through it it seems like the world is ending often help shape our worldview and we help draw a lot of positive inspiration on that. So your daughter's cancer or battle with cancer I'm interested to learn how that experience and dealing with that personally for your daughter, helped to shape your approach to coaching today.
Speaker 3:Wow, um, krista and I talk about this all the time because you know there's a lot of people that would be like, oh, cancer, cancer sucks. And you know, and I know I wish I never went through that and you ask Krista, you ask our whole family we would not be who we are today if we had not gone through that. And you know I'm a big believer in law of attraction and universal laws. You know, no, needed a pause. That life was feeling out of control. And at that time I was a stay at home mom. She was three, my son was in kindergarten.
Speaker 3:I was, you know, having that transition where your kids are now getting older and I'm like who am I? What am I supposed to do? And all of a sudden, everything came to a stop, everything shut down. And I say this all the time, it was like someone put a burlap sack over my head. All the lights went out. I couldn't breathe, couldn't walk, didn't know what to do. I had no idea. And my husband was the one that stood up and said you know, what we never give up that's what this family is about is we never give up. I still wear my bracelet. We had these printed back in the day and I still wear my bracelet and he told everybody he had tons of family at the hospital and he was like no crying, go home, get it out. When you're here, you're positive and you're upbeat. We are going to this is our new normal and we are going to fight this, or we are going to help Krista fight this, because she ultimately had to be the one doing the work, even at three.
Speaker 2:And she's going to draw off the energy and the emotions. And then when, what you're giving off, if you're sitting there in constant concern and worry and crying and all that that that is going to bleed over to her? Oh, I truly believe that. Yeah, I'm sorry to cut you off. Finish up. And then I want to share something.
Speaker 3:I just I literally just got goosebumps because that's what would happen. And so when I would lose it because I'm not perfect, of course I'm going to going to lose it. I'm scared to death. I'm away from my husband. We ended up having to go to St Pete for stem cell rescues for a month at a time.
Speaker 3:I was away from my five-year-old and how does a mom leave her son and you're with your daughter and you're feeling pulled in two different directions.
Speaker 3:It was so challenging and I just kept remembering like we will get through this, like and and there and I've spoken on other podcasts about this, just real quick.
Speaker 3:There was a moment where I know and it was in St Pete that some there there was a man that came to my room. He was dressed as a preacher, some kind of religious being preacher with a collar, walked into the room because I wouldn't have let him in otherwise and said I hear you need to speak to me, where I knew I could feel this heaviness in the room and it was like death at the door and I was like no, you are not taking her. We have too much to do. We will be the lighthouse, we will shine hope for others, but you will not take her and I don't know what the heck happened. But then this guy shows up. I write a thank you letter afterwards because he totally made me feel so much better, allowed me to vent, and I went to take it down to the chaplain's office. And what do you think? No one knew who he was.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 3:No one knew who he was. There was no log of anyone being there.
Speaker 2:Fascinating.
Speaker 3:Fascinating, so just had to get that out because that is faith, and I lost it. After that I was really angry and going through the journey that I've been on in the last six years, I realized I stopped talking, I stopped having that communication in my faith, and so I had to come back to faith on my terms in my way. So it's it's been, it's been a journey, and coaching has massively changed my life. I've had a lot. Good coaches, have good coaches and I have gone, put myself through it, and I never asked my clients to do anything that I have not done myself.
Speaker 2:Very important. It's good stuff. It's like the mindset is just so powerful, whether it's faith driven or whether it's just your own mindset driving you. It's like makes me think of Joe Dispenza. I'm sure you know Joe Dispenza and how, what you?
Speaker 2:It's funny how, when you start thinking positively and you start thinking confidently and you start putting that out into your external universe, you, you start to notice. I think he calls them little like serendipities, little coincidences, little breadcrumbs from the divine. He calls them where, like, things just magically start showing up and it's not like these things weren't there before. It's just like you're shining a light on the positive and you're choosing not to look at the negative. So, like when things are going wrong, I have Murphy's law right. You're just like one after the other just keeps hitting you and it's because you're focusing on the negative. There's plenty of positive out there. It's all about where you train your attention. Yeah, and it goes back to we control our emotions. We control so if you get triggered by something that comes up, one of the things that's helped me a lot as of late, is that I actually just take a step back because you feel it right. My kids do something to trigger me, my wife, I get an argument.
Speaker 2:I feel it.
Speaker 1:My jellies.
Speaker 2:It comes up, it bubbles up, and I take a step back and I take a deep breath and I just have a dialogue with myself and I say oh that's interesting, oh, I love it.
Speaker 2:Why are you coming up now, like, what are you trying to? And what happens is, with that conversation you realize how ridiculous it is and the negative emotion just disappears away and I'm like, oh, that's, that's, and like I'm able to, like, just diffuse these high intensity situations in a matter of seconds mostly. Sometimes it takes a little longer, like the deeper the trauma from from my past, the longer it takes to diffuse. If it's something that goes back to childhood that takes me some time, I'd have to put my shoes on and go running or do something serious.
Speaker 3:But a lot of the stuff. Now it's like I brush it off and I'm like, oh, I'm good, very, very terrible, jeremy, you're, you're, you're speaking my language. You're speaking my language, it's perfect.
Speaker 2:I told you, this stuff resonates with me.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's. I mean, there are people out there that will ruminate over something and I was talking to a client a couple of weeks ago and she was like, well, I've gotten myself now down to 36 hours. And I was like, what do you mean? And she's like, well, you know, when we first started, I would, you know, something would trigger me and it would be like, you know, two weeks.
Speaker 3:I would be off and I would just be in anger and just upset and I've gotten myself down to 36 and I'm like, yeah, we still have some work to do. I'm like 36 hours is still too long to be ruminating.
Speaker 2:That's 35 hours and 59 minutes of too much unintentional suffering, or what's the word I'm looking for? Uncontrolled suffering. I always say that now it's that I want to choose what I suffer over, meaning I don't want to be triggered and suffer uncontrollably or involuntarily, if you will Like. If I'm going to suffer, I want it to be like if I need to learn a new skill. You can either make that a horrible experience where you're overwhelmed and you're feeling flustered, or you could lead into it with a curiosity and just frame the experience differently and you're still going through mental anguish. That's what growth is right. You have to go through the pain to get there, but if you frame that pain as growth and as progress as opposed to just typical suffering, it's super powerful.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it's not. You know, I don't even like to say suffering, because we're growing, and if we don't fail, if we don't fall down, we can't get back up. If we don't fail, we don't know what we actually want. You know, if we don't lose something, we can't be grateful for what we have, and so it's just what side of the stick do you want to be on? And that's what you get to control, that's what you get to choose and that's what's so powerful.
Speaker 3:And so when people come into me, especially the clients that are overwhelmed and they're feeling out of control and they're spiraling and they're just, they don't know how to get out of it, or they're in this pattern. You know that just keeps replaying. I'm like we got to break the pattern, and the only way to do that is to shift your perspective. How do you want to feel? And so we go through all of that, and you know, and I have, I have different offerings that fit everybody at all levels, and that's so important to me, because I want to be able to help as many people as I can come to this realization, because it's so important.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it could be incredibly difficult for somebody to shift that perspective that you mentioned, and I think a lot of it goes back. I mean, there's no shortcuts. It just requires hard work, and I learned that every day, and there's plenty of work to be done. It's a lifelong process. What would you say? What's some advice you can give to somebody out there that is feeling stuck Because it can feel like there's no way out? From my perspective, one of the things I've learned is just it's all about creating very, very small changes, micro habits, and doing things one step at a time, and in doing that consistently over time, you start to see huge results. Speak to that a little bit. What can you offer somebody out there that might be listening, that is struggling right now? What can you say to get them starting to think about getting out of that place?
Speaker 3:Yeah, first of all, there's going to be people around you that are going to want to try and help you and do it for you. Don't do that because you have to do this yourself. You can reach out for support and have people sit with you right, like the whole Eeyore and Piglet. You know they just sit, they be, they're in it. But if you feel those warning lights and I like to call those emotions that like the warning lights on our car and we've been ignoring them for so long and then our engine blows up and we're like how did that happen? And it's like, well, duh, you know. So it's like, well, if your engine light is on and you have been ignoring it for years, it's going to bubble up. So are you going to address it now? And and when is the right time? And so I would say, get curious.
Speaker 3:But you have to. You have to take your emotions and you have to. What I, you know, and and I I'm a big believer in Abraham Hicks you got to climb the emotional guidance scale. However, you can't go from depression to fricking bliss. You have to go slow, and so if you can just get up one or two notches, and I have a whole emotional scale that I follow and I help my clients follow, and it's like if we can just get you from like depression and unworthiness up to boredom or complacency, because then right, it's a step in the right direction. No-transcript see a squirrel run up a tree, who knows? But there's going to be some little nudge from the universe that's going to help you shift and the same thing will happen as you're trying to move up that scale. Doing it alone can be challenging. I do podcasts, I do two a week Jump on the shows. I'm always talking about this stuff because if I can help again, if I can help more people, we're all going to be better for it, all of us.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. Running is a big one for me. It's interesting. I get some of the greatest ideas that I have when I go. So I used to listen to podcasts or music when I ran. Now I don't listen to anything.
Speaker 2:I find that what happens is things just come to me. I get ideas for work, to write songs, poetry. I'm very musically inclined. All this stuff just comes to me and there's never been a time where I've been feeling unwell and I strapped my shoes on and went for a few mile run and I didn't come back and say, man, I feel amazing. Sometimes I don't want to go do it because my body you know I'm getting older so it's taxing on the body, which is a little bit upsetting to me that I got into it so late. I'm grateful that I found it. Don't get me wrong, but I go for a relatively long run Saturday mornings. We do like six miles, it's like a 10 K, and I often find that my body is feeling rough for a few days afterwards and it's tough to get back out there. But it's such a powerful experience and exercise in general, whether it's running, whatever it is, but something about that continuous exercise when it comes to running.
Speaker 3:I'm not sure if you ever run. I'm not a runner. I I'm a walker. I'll walk.
Speaker 2:And I do.
Speaker 3:I do walk in Cooper city, um, I haven't, uh, in a few months and my neighbors are like, come on, let's get back out there. So I do need to get back out there, um, but I do have a path that we follow and we we walk around, um, where do you live in Cooper and Cooper city? Well, I'm actually in Davie, so, but across across on a hundred, so I'm off of 106. So on one side of the street is Davie, down two streets, and then everything else is Cooper city. So I'm on the two streets that are private and Davie, um, and then everything else is Cooper city around us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I often go to that neighbor. I live in Cooper city, right down the road from where you're at. There's a place in right in that area you're talking about that you live.
Speaker 3:it's called or botanica organica oh yeah, they're right around the corner, like literally. I can hear the chickens, and I have chickens too, so our roosters communicate, yeah so they have.
Speaker 2:They do a full moon gathering every month there, the group soul fire, alchemy where we do breath work, we do meditation. We do ice bath, all this type of stuff. We're talking all this holistic space. I'm really, really into this kind of stuff. You should definitely check that out. You've been to the Full Moon Gathering?
Speaker 3:I haven't been to the Full Moon Gathering. I actually do my own. I have my own Shaman Drum and we have a very special property and that might be for a different show or maybe you'll have to come on my podcast and we'll talk about it, but we have a very special property here. There's some amazing energy here and I actually had always wanted to do that and I had been looking for a full moon something and then I was like wait a minute. And I had been looking for a full moon something and then I was like wait a minute, where is this place? And I was like it's on literally right behind me. And so I've been over there. I did some juicing with oh my gosh, I can't remember his name at the moment, but he makes some amazing juices, fruits and Cahoot yeah, but the guy's name and I can't think of his name right now.
Speaker 2:You mean the guy that owns the property, not Ricky, yeah. No, yeah, I think I know who you're talking about, but I can't remember his name either.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but they're wonderful and you know it's just. But this property is full of light, is full of magic and is full of history of this area. I don't know if Krista mentioned we were on the dead files, but there's a lot, of a lot of things that we've learned about this area, so it was. That was pretty cool too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a buddy, a good friend of mine, my best friend, brian Schwartz. He owns a business called he's in Orlando. It's called manhood transformation and we do we. It's basically a brotherhood we work with. It's very similar to what you're doing coaching but we do a lot of holistic. We delve into the plant medicine space. Often we do retreats. We're planning one coming up soon in Orlando. We've been up to the mountains before. It's something about getting together. It's usually about eight brothers, eight men getting together for two or three days, having an intense psychedelic experience thrown into the mix with also other things, other bonding experiences. It's such a profound experience. It's been some of the best experiences of my life. It's a type of thing where I'll go there and meet somebody for the first time and sure I might not see them again for a year or two, until another retreat. But when I see them it's like I saw a long lost brother. There's a special connection and bond that forms.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, really powerful work that we're-.
Speaker 3:We're all connected. We are all connected on all levels, absolutely. Yeah, amazing no-transcript freedom from your emotions by radical he didn't say this, but I've added it radical self-acceptance and radical self-responsibility. And so when I heard Moksha and I heard the, um, the, the definition of it, and of course there's much deeper. You know there's soul liberation, um, that's the deeper definition. Uh, but you gotta have emotional liberation before you can get to your soul. You know there's, there's levels, it's an onion, and so I love that.
Speaker 3:I love Moksha, and I held onto that for quite a while and I had a really cool meditation where a dragonfly came to me and then it turned into a phoenix and I was like, oh, you're Moksha, that's cool, and so my logo is a dragonfly. And then, as I was getting coached, I have this amazing coach and she was taking me through some, some work and grace. You do it with grace, it's emotional liberation with grace, and it just made sense to me and I fell in love with it. And I fell in love with it. And then Odonata Community, which is a community I have where I do monthly or weekly coaching. It's a monthly subscription, it's $111 for the month, and every week we meet and I coach for a full hour on whoever subscribes, whoever comes and shows up that night.
Speaker 3:And what Odonata is is the species name of the dragonfly. And dragonflies start as water bugs underwater and one day they climb up. They just get the inclination. They climb up on something a piece of wood, a stick, something and they dry out, they pull their energy. So you're talking about alchemy. I'm an alchemy student. They pull their energy up and they unfurl these wings that they never knew existed, and then all of a sudden they can fly and I was like that's perfect, that's perfect, and so that's why I have Odonata community.
Speaker 2:I love the intention behind everything. So important to approach everything with intention and clearly, this journey of yours is so well thought out and you can see it just speaking to you, right? You, you exude this positive aura. So before you wrap up, I wanted to ask you some advice for somebody like myself who is just now starting. I mean, really, just the past few years has been when I've started working on all this stuff and I have a long way to go, but I feel called to help others with this process. So I guess you can call me an aspiring coach, if you will.
Speaker 2:I got a long way to go, but it's a learning process. What guidance could you offer to folks like me out there that want to make a difference, that want to help other people that are still going through? Well, we all are still going through their own process, but I guess I kind of feel like, because I just started this and I haven't and I've been struggling with a lot of this stuff I feel like I'm not in a position to help others yet. But I don't think that's true. I think that I am in the process. We're all in the process of getting better, like, speak to me on that because, from where I sit, this is something that I've been thinking a lot about.
Speaker 3:You got to start somewhere right, and so the decision to start, the decision of wanting the other side of the stick, is the first step, right, knowing what you want, knowing what you don't want, knowing what you want and then figuring out what is your process, because everyone's going to have a different process. You like to run. I, last night, was a little uh, had some pent up energy, a little nervousness. I do karaoke, like right here in my little she shed, I have my karaoke machine and I grabbed my microphone and I was God help the neighbors. That's what I do and what's so interesting.
Speaker 3:And someone can start with something this simple, start with the music that's resonating with you at that moment. Right, it might be like, like, for me it's like angry rock, like scream, like just go full in. You know Metallica and just hard rock, and then all of a sudden, yeah, right, yeah, falling in reverse. Their new album. Oh, but wait a second, I can listen to like fly leaf or I don't know, lighter music, if you will.
Speaker 3:And so, all of a sudden, I'm now moving myself up the emotional guidance scale through music, and so you can choose how you do your process, but it's finding what works for you it might be art, right? I remember when Krista was or actually my mom was in the hospital and I was coloring because I love just coloring, right? I'm a kid at heart and never going to grow up, and I would notice that when I was really stressed out, the colors would be like I was really pushing hard on those crayons. It's like you know dark colors and and then all of a sudden you would see that I'd start to go lighter.
Speaker 2:You're getting out of your system. You're getting all the anger out through the art.
Speaker 3:And that is finding your process. And so once you find your process now, you can turn it into parts of it, into a routine so that you're getting ahead of it. So, for instance, I know that to start my day, I have to premeditate, and that means that as soon as I wake up, I brush my teeth, I get my cup of coffee and then I sit down and I do my meditation. I'm premeditating my day. I'm getting myself up to this level. So no matter what happens to, because stuff is going to happen and you get knocked down, but if I start down here, I'm going to end up in the trenches. If I start up up here, I'm going to be midway. So I know my process and the days that I don't meditate are challenging, are much more challenging. And so know what works for you, what feels right, start getting curious about that, even if you're tracking it, you're journaling it, you're writing it down when are you feeling good, when are you not feeling good, what is happening around you, and then start observing yourself Taking notice of it.
Speaker 3:Yes, Without judgment, without shame, without you know any like. Just be the observer, that's it. That's it. That is the first step. And don't ever think you're done. That is always everyone's thing is. They come back and they're like but I already did this, I already went through this trauma. Why do I have to do it again? And I'm like? Because you're now at a deeper level and now you're seeing and feeling things that you didn't feel before, and so now we got to go deeper, but we're never done. We're never done. It's a journey. We are here for a journey. We're not here to just be here and then be gone. We're here for the experience. How we choose to experience life is up to us.
Speaker 2:I often have to remind myself to give myself credit where it's due, because on any given day, it's easy to fall back to old habits and old programs and then tell yourself the story that you're not making any progress and this is not working. And why is this not working? For? And the more you start talking to yourself like that, you get more of the same. So I have to take a step back from that when I start telling myself these old programs and stories and I just say wait a minute, you are way better off than you were before and you're making progress. Yeah, and you're doing good things.
Speaker 2:Absolutely Always, always give yourself credit for the work you do, and just one piece of advice I've given to people out there that are struggling is just start with one thing, right, don't try too much. Whether it's again waking up in the morning maybe the first thing you do when you go to go for a walk, right. Or maybe it's sit down and do five minutes of meditation, or maybe it's just pick up your journal before you go to sleep and just get your thoughts on paper, and then the next morning wake up and write, write a little bit more, just small little pieces, and do that for a week or two yeah, write three things down that you're grateful for, right?
Speaker 3:So I, I, so I, so I have a Facebook group and you can go to mokshagracecom slash group. And what I did is every morning I'm start eight o'clock, I'm putting a prompt every morning and it's a prompt of what are you grateful for, because sometimes you sit down and you're like what am I grateful for? Okay, I'm going to write the same three things. So I'm doing a prompt because you have to feel it. If you're not feeling the gratefulness in your heart, then you're just doing it as a chore.
Speaker 2:You're just going through the motions, yeah.
Speaker 3:And that's not going to work, so I'm trying to make it fun.
Speaker 2:No, and one of the things that I like doing when I journal is once you start writing down your wins for the day. That's something where, when you first start doing it, it's like grasping at straws. You can't find the wins and you're like, oh my God, why can't I find things that I've done well today? But then, after several days or a week of doing it, what happens is, throughout the day you start to subconsciously notice positive things because you know in your mind that you're going to have to sit there and write those things down. And then all of a sudden, it's like the floodgates open and you're like, oh my God, I'm running out of paper here. I've had so many good things happen today. It's all about where you train your attention and what you choose to focus on.
Speaker 3:What you focus on, grows, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2:Well, let's end there. That was great. We definitely need to continue this conversation. I love what you're doing in the community. I'm definitely going to check out your stuff on Facebook. I'll join the group and we're definitely going to connect again after this For our listeners out there. I know you mentioned the Facebook group. You mentioned Odonata. I hope I got the pronunciation right. Let everybody know what's the best way to reach you If somebody's struggling and they want to speak to you maybe your phone number, your website?
Speaker 3:how can we connect with you guys? Everything is at moksha gracecom. It's very easy. Just go to moksha gracecom. You'll find all the different things on there. Um, the, I can send out links, but even on social media it's all under moksha grace. I have a LinkedIn page, I have a YouTube, I have a YouTube, I have Facebook. So I'm like everywhere under Moksha Grace. But go to mokshagracecom. You can join my email list.
Speaker 3:I send out a newsletter every Sunday that has lots of helpful tips in it, free stuff on how to you know free ways to do things. You know different exercises to try to do things, different exercises to try. So I'm really trying to provide value for everyone, because not everyone can afford coaching, but yet everyone needs some accountability and someone to hold your hand and walk the journey with you not for you, but with you and just keep you on the path. That's it. Just focus on moving forward. That's all we're doing is we're just taking baby steps forward, and that's so important and that's what coaching is. Coaching is in therapy You're not going backwards, you're just moving forward. You're starting where you are moving forward.
Speaker 2:Excellent, I expect to be on your newsletter soon, so sign me up for that or get that to me somehow, absolutely For our listeners. We will, of course, put a link in the description to all of your contact information so people could learn more. Michelle, thanks so much for joining us today.
