Self-Care for Soul-Driven Entrepreneurs - Dr. Tianna Conte

What does true self-care look like for soul-driven entrepreneurs, healing professionals, and transformational leaders? In this inspiring episode of Conversations That Make a Difference with Teresa Velardi, Teresa welcomes Dr. Tianna Conte, co-founder of the Awakening Awareness Academy, international best-selling author, naturopath, interfaith minister, initiated shaman, psycho-spiritual therapist, and creator of The GPS Code™ — God/Source Positioning System.

Dr. Tianna shares powerful wisdom on soul-aligned self-care, morning routines, divine guidance, intuition, burnout recovery, and the daily spiritual practices that help entrepreneurs escape the hamster wheel of stress and financial struggle.

She also opens up about her profound near-death experience in 1995, what she learned about birth, death, surrender, pain, ecstasy, and the soul’s journey — and how that experience changed the way she teaches healing, personal transformation, and spiritual entrepreneurship.

And it is by God's grace that we are fabulous, blessed, and highly favored, living in our greatness, using our gifts and talents, making a difference in the lives of others with passion and purpose, and all of God's great universe is conspiring in our favor together.

SPEAKER_03 4:21

Thank you, Teresa. I was never expecting you to read that whole bio. It's like, whoa.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

But I didn't know what to take out. I'm like, oh my goodness, there's this and there's this. And it was like a whole smorgasbord of stuff that we can talk about in there.

SPEAKER_03 4:35

And so um Teresa all, I just am so excited to be with you and with your beautiful listening audience to give as much value as we can in every area that we want to go to.

SPEAKER_00 4:47

That's awesome. And I'm grateful to have you here. So um

Why Self-Care Matters for Soul-Driven Entrepreneurs

SPEAKER_00 4:52

uh we were talking about uh talking about self-care for soul-driven entrepreneurs. I want, I think this is a really important topic because you know, when you go to a J O B, it's nine to five, or you have uh I have hours. But when you are an entrepreneur, I'm gonna speak for myself, and I know that this is true for you as well. I'm gonna speak for myself, but my day starts early in the morning and it doesn't end until late at night before I put my head down on the pillow because I've got so many things that are happening that so many things that I have to juggle as an entrepreneur. And although I have a team of people who support me in this journey, a lot of it at in the end, it falls on me as an entrepreneur. Yes? And so we work more than anyone that I know that works a nine to five.

SPEAKER_03 5:39

Absolutely. And we love every moment of it because it's our own soul's calling. I do believe at the core of every entrepreneur is someone who's destiny driven for their soul's fulfillment.

SPEAKER_00 5:56

I agree with you. I agree with you because I say this often on the show. I believe that we came here with gifts and talents for a purpose, on purpose, and it is our obligation to fulfill that while we're here on earth. The thing that gets lost a lot, I think, is the self-care part because we're so busy doing other things for other people, at least I am, that I tend to lose like my quiet time in the morning, my, you know, uh do this for myself, do that for myself. Are are you in the same predicament that I'm in, or have you found the way out of this roller coaster?

The Morning Routine That Sets Up a Miraculous Day

SPEAKER_03 6:31

I have been a forever entrepreneur at that. I mean, seriously, sacredly. So I'm here to give the secrets so you don't have to feel that way. It's the morning routine. That is such a secret to setting up your day. I cannot emphasize it enough. When you first open your eyes, connect with source before you get out of the bed. Take a few minutes just to kind of say, good morning, God, or even good God, it's morning, or whatever higher power. I'm not talking about a religious figure, I'm interface, so we include all religions and beyond religion, but it's that connection because you're in that hypnagogic state where the ego mind, the to-do mind is still kind of semi-sleeping. So when it's semi-sleeping and you connect with your super mind, your god mind, your superpowers, you ask for guidance, direction, and listen, listen, listen. You'll hear it. That's how I start my day. Away, empowered way, and then as soon as my hit my feet hit the floor, I do the poses that I'm going to give as a gift to everybody who wants to do it, because they're choreographed to literally set you aligned with lowering the cortisol hormone, that's the stress hormone, raising the competence hormone, just the superwoman power physician does that alone. Look at how simple, simple little things. I'm all about kiss. Keep it simple spiritually, for that's who we are. And we get caught up in being a human doing, not a human being. But when you're a human being, you start with hugging your human self, but connecting with your higher self, your God self, and you do it in five simple minutes, and you rewire your brain, balance your chakras, and you're ready for the day.

SPEAKER_00 8:37

Wow,

Why Discipline Is Essential for Entrepreneurs

SPEAKER_00 8:38

it's that simple?

SPEAKER_03 8:40

It's that simple, but it takes the word that entrepreneurs have a challenge called discipline.

SPEAKER_00 8:46

Yeah, yeah. I think you're absolutely right. So, how um, I mean, even if you start with the one minute, I don't know about you, but in at my time and a at my age, but I I when I get up, when I get up in the morning, the first thing I'm doing is praying that I make it to the bathroom on time.

unknown 9:08

Perfect.

SPEAKER_02 9:08

No, no, no, that's very natural. As a matter of fact, if you say as soon as your feet hit the floor, go to the bathroom first. And especially if you're gifted with being able to wake up when your body wants to wake up.

SPEAKER_03 9:25

That's another gift as an entrepreneur that we can give ourselves. Don't start prematurely in your morning except when you want to wake up, because the sound of an alarm clock, I mean, I'm not saying don't use one, but believe it or not, I rarely ever, and I'm always on time because I change myself through self-hypnosis and through educating the subconscious mind. The only time I rely on a which we'll call it alarm clock is if I have to take a flight and I gotta get up at like four o'clock in the morning.

SPEAKER_05 10:00

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:01

I don't want to miss the flight, so I don't want to miss the thing, but you don't want to jar yourself awake, you want to have the gift of being the entrepreneur, being your own boss, being one with yourself. So you wake up as the body wants to wake up.

SPEAKER_05 10:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:20

When you're on fire with your mission, you can't wait to wake up.

SPEAKER_00 10:24

Yeah. Well, that's yeah, it's true. It's true. And there are days when I jump out of bed and I'm ready to go, and then there are days when I pull the covers over my head and say, Oh, I don't know about this, you know.

SPEAKER_02 10:36

But I mean that's both both true, both true, and both give yourself

Good Morning God or Good God, It’s Morning?

SPEAKER_02 10:41

grace.

SPEAKER_00 10:46

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 10:49

And you can tell if you're having a good God, it's morning day instead of good morning day, you know that something is out of whack when you start your day. So, one of the poses I give in that five minutes, you thump your thymus, okay? And remember the old Tarzan thing where you go, ah, yeah. Try doing that without releasing an emotion. Try it. You cannot emotions overcloud the brain to not be able to stay on target and on fire with your priorities, right?

SPEAKER_00 11:30

Right. Interesting. So, how do you you said you don't use an alarm to get up yet, you're always on time. So, how do you train yourself um um to do that, to wake up in the morning? Like, what's the secret to that? And the question the question that goes with that is are you in asleep in bed the same time every night, or does this work for you regardless?

SPEAKER_03 11:54

Regardless, I have very strange um sleeping times. It's whenever my body wants to go to sleep and my work is done. So I do not have a routine, although I recommend a good routine for most people, but

Morning and Evening Routines for Soul Alignment

SPEAKER_03 12:08

I've been working between dimensions for so long that here's a secret your body sleeps, your consciousness doesn't necessarily sleep.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Wow, yeah, and that's when you go like in the dream states.

SPEAKER_03 12:21

You got it, you got it, and in the you train yourself in the evening with a night routine. See, the morning and the evenings are the two most important parts of your day, believe it or not. Because once you set your day in the habitual way, your body runs on autopilot. But here's the beauty your soul power autopilot, not your human power autopilot.

From Burnout to a Near-Death Experience

SPEAKER_03 12:47

Ask me how I know. How do you know? I was the queen of burnout. My burnout went so far that I it turned into a near-death experience.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

That's how burnt out I got. You put in the corrections after one of those experiences, and let me tell you.

SPEAKER_00 13:04

I'm so fascinated with near-death experiences. Do you want to talk about that at all? How do you how did that come about?

SPEAKER_03 13:12

Well, as I said, I I did not have the procedure I'm sharing with you, uh, your guests and you right now. So, Teresa, I was the workaholic doctor. I was up at six working with people in Europe and in Asia, and then until midnight for East Coast time. So partly, and I loved it. I didn't feel it was like work. That's how you said, you know, that's how entrepreneurs are. We're the only ones who work harder than if we had a nine to five job so that we can be free and fulfilled. It's almost like a joke. Yeah. But but in those days, I just was running on human autopilot, you know, more, more, more, more, more, more, more. So one day, with my dearest best friend, my soul sister, we went to a high-end New York spot for a body wrap to

The Spa Body Wrap That Changed Everything

SPEAKER_03 14:10

define, to relax, to have a massage, to have a little pampering. And I never expected, but I've had other plans. They forgot about me when I was in the body wrap. Oh no. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. And so what was supposed to be a 20-minute body wrap turned into an hour and a half. Oh good lord. But I didn't have a problem because I did not know I had died. I just knew that I had the most incredible, life-altering experience that I thought was an ultimate detox. Because as I said, I'm a shaman. And in the 80s, this happened in the 90s, I did plant medicine and all that in Peru. And so that expanded consciousness even more. So I thought, wow, it was just detoxing this. But when I came back and I was telling my beloved about it, he said, I just read Daniel Brinkley's book. Everything you described, the tunnel, the downloads, the wisdom, the love, the incredible love, the incredible feeling of vibration only beyond the body, beyond emotions, beyond anything that the limited brain can conceive of, because you had a near-death experience. And I said, absolutely not. I'm a doctor in energy medicine. Watch the ego. I would know if I had a near-death experience. You know how God in uh, you know how God had works in mysterious ways. You hear about that. What God said on a cruise, on a before our honeymoon cruise, uh, we had the honeymoon before the marriage. I I love to do things. I used to call them ass backwards, now I call them soul

Meeting Dr. Raymond Moody and Confirming the NDE

SPEAKER_03 16:10

forward. And I'm sitting next to wait for it, you can't make stuff like this up. Dr. Raymond Moody himself.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

Really?

SPEAKER_03 16:20

The doctor who coined the word near death experience. Wow. And William said, okay, Dr. Rudy, if there's anybody who's going to break this tie between the two of us, it's you. Get Tiana, tell the doctor your experience. So I did. He closed his eyes and listened and listened, opened his eyes, and in true Dr. Rudy fashion, I love Raymond to pieces, he said, My dear Tiana, I have to side with William on this one. You had a near-death experience. It's called heat-induced heart failure. Oh my lord. Yeah. And my lord is right because Teresa, I came back in on my own with the guidance of the powers that be. And so by the time they remembered me, I was already unraveling myself from all the heat layers. Um, it was ace bandages, 18 rolls soaked in herbs all around my body. Talk about Egyptian style.

SPEAKER_00 17:38

Yeah, I was yeah, I was thinking the mummy, you know, when you talked about that.

SPEAKER_03 17:44

I think now called myself not only a living bridge, that's the name that Raymond gave me, but uh embodiment of a living mummy. Seriously. So I was already unraveling myself. They came in with all these apologies. But here's what could have been a clue. What would most mortal people who just almost died having a body wrap, what are we calling? They're attorneys. What? I was filled with so much love, so much oneness, connection that didn't even dawn on me. It was like one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I couldn't pay for something like

What Dr. Tianna Experienced Beyond the Body

SPEAKER_03 18:26

that.

SPEAKER_00 18:26

So describe some of the cred describe some of the incredible things that you you happened to experience during this uh this time that you were, I'm gonna say, out of your body. Um you really want me to go there. Well, I I would I'm so fascinated with this too.

SPEAKER_02 18:45

I would love to, I would love to.

SPEAKER_03 18:48

Yeah. Okay. The very first thing that started happening when she left me, it was um the 18 rolls of ace bandages, a vinyl suit and blank balls, and about six or seven blankets in a room by myself. Okay, my heart started to beat so fast, and you know, it was like an arrhythmic like this, and then there was light. My heart became the tunnel of light. And the next thing I knew, I was in a place, there was no place. I was, but I didn't have a body, yeah, I didn't have anything, I was one with all, and so free. The feeling of freedom, the feeling of who am I, where am I, what am I? And then the voice started to speak to me. I didn't see deceased loved ones at the time, but I heard a voice. I didn't even know I had crossed over. Remember, I just thought I was having an adventure. And the first thing it said, and this is in the initiation chapter of the first book that you actually put up on the screen, it

Birth, Death & the Soul’s Journey

SPEAKER_03 20:12

said the words birth, wait till you hear this. Birth and death are the same. Wow, one is essence spirit coming into form and materializing, the other is the essence leaving the materialization and going out of form, but they are the same. One is feared because it is unknown, and one is celebrated because it is known. Now, of course, you know which one celebrated the birth, and which one celebrated the death. But imagine hearing, they're the same. Wow, and then it went on to say there's a portal where you can experience this when the ego lets go of control, and it's like because most of the time the ego is in control, so it doesn't know that it's just pure essence, having an experience, and that birth and death are the same, it's just the dash between them is our life with experiences. So I'm over there being like, not me, because I had no body and I had no brain and no head, just this vibrating pulsation of light. But I still had an ability that like telepath in a strange way, back to it, like what? What is how

Ecstasy, Agony & the Ego Letting Go

SPEAKER_03 21:47

and it went on to say the ego lets go of control under two circumstances that is moments of ecstasy and moments of Agony like ah and it asked me, Would you like to have an experience? What would you say, Teresa? Yeah.

unknown 22:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:14

I'm a Sagittarian, so sign me up.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

Well, you've heard of life reviews.

SPEAKER_03 22:24

Okay. This was a double life review. It wasn't single, meaning it wasn't one life review. First, they had me experience the life review of agony, what they called agony. But the translation of agony is anything that gives you emotional upset and everything from a minor nothing to a major something to a trauma. So it started at my birth, and it just showed me like a movie reel, like literally like a movie reel. Like imagine the old-fashioned projectures of light and it comes into a movie reel.

SPEAKER_05 23:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:07

And you see it. And then I heard everything, every event, every person is neutral and part of like your experience.

Pain Is Inevitable, Suffering Is Optional

SPEAKER_03 23:23

And if you take the moments of agony and just let the light guide you, everything is a blessing in disguise, or a blessing. We get to blame, shame ourselves, the others, we get to react, we get to make choices, we get dah da. And that's what causes the suffering. Because it said, yes, pain, problems, challenges all are, you know, part of the human experience. They're inevitable. Suffering is optional. Yeah. And so it took me through all of these pieces up until the present age that I was, which was in my 40s at the time, in the 1990s. And so it said, look at the most painful period, the darkest period.

Childhood Trauma, Faith & a Divine Encounter

SPEAKER_03 24:25

And it focused on that. And it focused on it in a way that I had never seen it before. My dad had passed away. And here goes, I was sexually violated during the grieving journey during the funeral by being consult. So I was going to be a 13-year-old statistic of suicide, but obviously God had different plans.

SPEAKER_00 24:50

Different plans, absolutely. Thank you, God. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:54

And and it showed me that how can I say that was the initiation to me becoming a transformational leader for the future. That trauma, that horrific mortal human wound, because I was going to commit suicide, but God's different plan was and wait for people, you're going to hear the opposite of what you're taught in a lot of churches and schools and everything. I let loose on God. Yes, 13-year-old me thinking God is in the clouds, started screaming at the clouds on a cloudy day, cursing out God. How could you do this to me? What is the joke here? I came to kill myself by jumping into the ocean and it's low tide. I can't even have my you know effect. I'm not gonna jump into dirt and mud and joke. No, no, that's not good enough. But what it what is I hear that you have a plan. What's your plan? As far as I'm concerned, you you take my father, you had this sexually happen to me. I heard that you're good. How could you be good? And I'm going on and on and on with that rant. The best being to rant to is God, true source of unconditional love and light. Because what happened next is I said, okay, my dad taught me that you're good. And my dad taught me to give everyone a second chance. Wait for it. God, I'm giving you a second chance. I got a second chance. Who think but you can tell I wasn't thinking, I was just in my emotional trauma screaming. And then a great gift that at the time I didn't realize how great a gift it was. The clouds parted, and a light, but not the sun, it wasn't orange, it was blue white light, came down from the beyond top of my head to every cell of my body with such a force that I was thrown to my knees. Talk about the adage when light forces you to your knees, start praying. Yeah, exactly. But it was it was love, it was pure compassion, it was cleansing

“Surrender Each Day, Step by Step. You'll Be Shown the Way”.

SPEAKER_03 27:41

of the pain. And then clear audience, beyond ears hearing, I heard the voice of God. I had never heard a voice outside myself speak to me, so I call it the voice of God, lack of a better word. But I heard these words, and I would almost urge everyone to write down these words because they became a life changer, a game changer, and soul guidance that has since morphed into the GPS code, which is easy access. But even before it came into a system, it transformed my life from tragedy to triumph without outside real support and just this uh invisible source of love and light. And these were the words surrender each day, step by step, you'll be shown the way. So I'll say that again, and I'll add, it didn't say submit, surrender, it said surrender, like accept what is as is each day. There's the discipline, all entrepreneurs listening, daily habit, step by step. It didn't say figure it out, it said take a step, action step by step, you'll be shown the way. Meaning get out of the way, you'll be shown the way.

SPEAKER_00 29:17

Yeah, that's so powerful, you know, because I think that um I'm writing this down. Um I think that a lot of times that we don't realize, people don't realize that a lot of the issues, problems, challenges, whatever you want to call them, that we experience are because we try and fix everything instead of surrendering them to a higher source that will in fact show us the way, you know. So um, you know, it's like it's like the uh this whole thing is is just it just fascinates me. But I do know the word I chose for this year is surrender. I know when you told me that to Risa, I was like, this is so aligned.

SPEAKER_03 30:06

You're so aligned, especially with the emerging awakening that many people are going through, and people brought to you are definitely going through. So I I embrace the warriors of light that are in this program listening.

SPEAKER_00 30:21

Yeah, amazing.

Why the Brain Is Not the Organ That Solves Your Problems

SPEAKER_00 30:23

I think that when we we do get in our own way, we challenge everything. And I don't know whether I don't know which language it is, but it's an Asian language that symbolic they use the symbols, right? So I know that whatever this symbol is, what it depends the interpretation is on the reader to find the the meaning of it. It either is an obstacle or an opportunity.

SPEAKER_02 30:49

So yeah, that's the Chinese symbol.

SPEAKER_03 30:51

Crisis, yeah, the Chinese symbol of either crisis or opportunity. Absolutely. Well, well put. And here's a secret, and to have compassion with ourselves because our educational system and everything has prepared us. I'm gonna do a myth bust here, really big one. Open ears. We think we're supposed to solve with our brain. It's the wrong organ, folks. It's the wrong organ to solve your problems. That's the illusion, that's the hypnosis. I love my brain, and we all love our brains. But what is the brain designed for? Survival. It doesn't like change. So, yes, the modern-day personal development and self-evolution focused on my neural beats and hypnosis. I'm trained in all of that, but I can tell you that that's the wrong organ.

The Heart as the Gateway to the Soul

SPEAKER_03 31:48

Would you like to guess the organ that can solve your problems?

SPEAKER_00 31:52

The heart.

SPEAKER_02 31:53

Bingo, round of applause.

SPEAKER_03 31:58

Because the heart holds the key, gateway to your soul. Yeah, what is more powerful? The brain or the infinite soul that is aligned with a higher source. Call it God, call it higher power, call it whatever you want. That is infinite. And here's another myth bust. Oh, I'm gonna be really naughty now. You want me to go really naughty, Teresa? Go right ahead. Okay, everybody knows the iceberg picture, right? You know, we're five percent the conscious mind and 95% the subconscious mind. I will tell you, Freud may have started it that way, and in his days he did the best he knew how. But yes, we are five percent the conscious mind. So look at how little say we really have. Okay, it's really there. But 95%, if you just think 95% is the submerged subconscious mind, you're gonna hit the Titanic. Yeah, here's the real secret 95% is the other than conscious mind, superconscious mind, God mind, whatever you want to call it, there's a higher mind that they're not factoring in that 95% if they're just calling it subconscious. The subconscious will just give you the files up to age seven and rewrite with the trauma that I've been through and been with countless thousands of clients over decades of practice. If I just worked on the brain solving those problems, they'd still have the problems rather than awaken their soul power,

How God and Higher Power Speak Through Intuition

SPEAKER_03 33:48

their God, listening to God's voice, the intuition. Because I've been teaching, God, higher power, speaks through intuition. Our ego often hits the override button. But if you hear it from two separate sources, it means you got two ears. Pay attention, listen, listen, listen.

SPEAKER_02 34:11

Yeah, that's this.

SPEAKER_00 34:13

Yeah, exactly. How many times have we done have uh how many times I can I can say how many times I have not listened to that? Uh to me, it comes in like a still whisper, a quiet voice, a something in my heart, my soul, that really um has guided me through a lot of different things. And when I have ignored it, I have been through trauma, pain, anything that you want to be because um I didn't pay attention. I didn't pay attention, or I thought I knew better, or I thought that people around me knew better and I would listen to them instead. But now I truly pay attention. When I hear something, when I when I get a little inkling in my soul, uh, it's like I I have to follow that because I've experienced life the other way. And it's not, it's not fun. It's not um, it's it's not most times it's not filled with the joy that you feel when you when you follow that lead. Uh, and I think that there's a lot of people who needed to hear this conversation because um if you pay attention, it's little things that happen that get you to pay attention, they're not coincidence. They're not

Radical Compassion and the Power of Choice

SPEAKER_00 35:32

coincidence.

SPEAKER_03 35:33

Even quantum physics tells us there's no accidents, coincidence, or mistakes. But Teresa, and always compassion, compassion for self, radical compassion. That's what the near death experience showed, and that's what the energy is about. There's only love, that's all there is, unless the ego rejects fear. Yeah, but there's a piece that I also heard in the near death experience that's worth listening to because it was a Zen Cohen that I could not decipher. I was like, what? What it took me over half a decade to get it and listen to what this Zen Cohen is. Okay, in every moment you have a choice, it doesn't matter whether you're aligned with spirit or reactive by the ego, the end result will be the same.

SPEAKER_00 36:28

Yeah, I agree, I agree, you know that's what happens when you have uh oh what happened. I hear you, I hear you.

SPEAKER_02 36:43

Okay, C C D or D C V C Okay, I don't see me anymore, I just see a blank screen, but I think that was an exclamation point from God. I swear to God, nowhere international caller came up. And because of the craziness we went through to get set up on my smartphone, I stopped it from ringing.

SPEAKER_03 37:04

Okay, it's a blank screen, but anyway, okay.

SPEAKER_00 37:07

So the result is the same. So I have to I have to just interject here. I think you're absolutely right. The path may be different, but the result is the same.

SPEAKER_03 37:21

You understand that right away. I couldn't get it. Okay, please you tell me because it took me half a decade to get that Zen poem right. Wow. Well, how do you interpret it, Teresa?

SPEAKER_00 37:34

Bravo, gold star, gold star, thank you. I interpret it as uh it goes back to the purpose that we have been given before we get here. And we have a we have a a job to do. We have a job to do, and you know, life is not life is not as easy as going from point A to point B in a straight line. It goes more like this, right? It goes around, takes your rounds in circles, it'll take you wherever. The choice is yours. Do you want to go the straight line or do you want to take the the the long way home? Exactly, bravo.

SPEAKER_03 38:12

Well, I what I misinterpreted it is I didn't realize that my my brain kicked in after the near-death experience to say, wait a second, if I marry the love of my life or I marry an abuser, the end result will be the same.

SPEAKER_02 38:30

The experiences will be different, but the end, what end result can be the same with with an abuser or with the love of my life? You know, it was like what what what?

SPEAKER_03 38:40

And then I thought, okay, the end result is you die, and that everything is released, and you you really get the cosmic joke that you made the whole thing up, that life was your canvas. You are the star, you are the writer, you are everything in your movie, in your life. So when I had gotten the answer, Teresa, that wasn't it. Do you want to know when the answer was really revealed?

Leaving with Grace, Gratitude & Dignity

SPEAKER_03 39:08

When a dear friend of mine, and one of my deans of the Academy of the Awakening Awareness Academy, was in a situation where somebody was catty in a job that she was at. And the lower mode is get catty back, be in third dimension, engage in the reactive mode. But she being trained with the GPS code and higher dimensions of fourth and fifth frequency, she came from the higher mode of okay, this one wants to be catty. She, it's her time for her to have the job, it's for me to move on, give thanks, always gratitude, Teresa. That's what I love about you. Focus on gratitude, adding value. And so she left with grace and dignity. But the purpose is what the end result is. The purpose of your evolution is the end result. She could have gone kicking and screaming to her destiny if that job was over, or like when people are fired, God is telling them that job is over and you haven't gotten the memo, but a new you is emerging. Now go through the loss of the pain and grow, but it's all yours. But she left with dignity and grace and went on to be start her own practice and be her own boss and become extremely successful and part of the she's the CFO of the uh academy.

No Blame, No Shame, No Fault of Self & Others

SPEAKER_03 40:38

Wow, you know it's not what it appears to be, but if we really take full responsibility with get this, everybody open your ears, open ears, no blame, no shame, no fault on self or others.

SPEAKER_00 40:58

Wow, that's huge, huge, huge. I think huge, then that's a trap. It's a trap. The what ifs are a trap. The uh and this the blame and the shame and the guilt. I it it's it keeps

Reframing the “What-Ifs”

SPEAKER_00 41:16

you so right on now.

SPEAKER_02 41:17

I flipped the switch, you're gonna love it on the what ifs.

SPEAKER_03 41:20

Okay, ready for this? Go ahead. Everything is perfect, except I'm seeing through my human eyes and not my spiritual eye. See how that switch switches flips the switch. Flip the switch, exactly. Instead of what if this had happened, what if that had happened? It didn't happen, it wasn't meant to happen. Remember quantum physics, go back to no no accidents, coincidences, or mistakes. You think that we come into this world without a blueprint? Uh-uh,

How to Velcro Joy and Release Pain

SPEAKER_03 41:55

we have a blueprint. So, but the dead death experience went on to say we focus on the pain and go over and over. So we make it like velcro to our bodies because it's a denser vibration. Well, what we need to do, wait for it, is feel the pain. Do not put a lot of story to it and let it move you through to the next level, yeah. As opposed to we attach to it and live it like groundhogs day every day, rather than the new perception. Now, just to flip back to the near-death experience to complete the other one about ecstasy, it showed me all the ecstasy pieces, and one of the ones that I love the most, aside from the love making with my beloved, which we won't go into delicious details here, but you could just suffice to mention, was my first puppy. My first puppy, of course. What do you think it was? A collie, and what do you think I named it at four years old? And and I was told I could feel how I touched her fur and nuzzled my body into her and held her, and and so they said we have it backwards. Ecstasy is a higher vibration of just vibration, everything is vibration, that's all there is. You know, Tesla gave us the secret. You want the secrets of the universe, look to energy, frequency, and vibration. Yeah, and so it was wild because the guidance was make that velcro, exaggerate your senses because it's a higher vibration. Imprint that into your cellular structure, yeah, and let go of the other. So we velcro the pain and teflon the ecstasy where we're supposed. The ecstasy uh Belcro Teflon the pain. Yeah. That's a huge secret. Anyone who starts flipping that switch and living that, I mean, you can imagine I was trained as a therapist to go, I was trained privately and everything else to go over and over. And I come out of this experience going, what decades of my life erased in a millisecond of awakening? Like, what? Never do things the same way again. Think about it.

SPEAKER_02 44:32

Yeah. Because then you want to do a disservice. And I do the secrets and the shortcuts now.

SPEAKER_00 44:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:39

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 44:40

So good. So good. So good. I have to cover a couple of things for uh right here for a minute. Um,

A Daily Gift of Inspiration Book Launch

SPEAKER_00 44:49

people are um are aware of the fact that we have the daily gift book series and that we are about to launch the book number six, a daily gift of inspiration, which is what uh we are having right here, a gift of inspiration from uh Dr. Tiana. So we had a daily gift of friendship, was one that we released previously. So we have friendship. We started with gratitude, then we went to hope, and then we went to a daily gift of uh kindness, a daily gift of peace, and now a daily gift of um then after peace was friendship, and then we have a daily gift of inspiration coming next week on um July the 7th. We are going to release that book, and then we'll be looking for stories for book number seven, which will be a daily gift of happiness and joy. Yes. So,

DJs Against Trafficking and Hunger Event

SPEAKER_00 45:48

and I want to remind everybody that on September 26th, we have DJs Against Trafficking and Hunger. Andy Berger and I will once again um uh host the event. It's gonna be a 24-hour event, and we're gonna start out with a um a uh panel of people talking about um uh it's just a lot of information, things that most people don't know. People think trafficking happens in other countries when really it's happening in their own backyard and they don't even know about it. Awareness is key with this. Um, lives are being stolen uh from people as they are stolen from their families and put into situations that they would never have ever chosen to be in. Um, and we are committed to bringing uh voices to the uh the horrific, horrific pandemic, I'm gonna call it, uh, and crime against humanity of human trafficking. So I hope you'll join us on the 26th of September. Put it on your calendar. We'll start at 10 a.m. Eastern time. There'll be music from around the world. It's a marathon, and we I think we're touching five continents this year, and we will do this every year to raise awareness and to raise money for the care of those who are rescued from this and to keep others from being ripped out of their God-given lives and be forcefully um abused in one way or another. And we want to stop this horrific, uh horrific practice. And when I always say, I got this from um the movie that Jim Caviezel was in. Um I can't I always let the movie go out of my my brain. Um, but he says, God's children are not for sale. And God's children, my friends, are not for sale. Let's stop this. Let's do what we can, how you can to stop this. Um, be a voice. If you can donate money, donate money. If you can donate your time, donate your time. If you can be a voice for those who can't be a voice for themselves, do what you can with what you have been given. And that's the responsibility each of us has, right, Tiana?

SPEAKER_03 48:01

I was gonna say, I'm praying for you with the highest good for all, because I applaud your compassionate heart, and it's so true. Every person deserves to have a life of love and compassion and support. So, yes, Teresa, I bless you and I'll be part of it. And you know, I understand sex trafficking on an intimate level, so mine was a much milder form, but anybody who can support anybody on any level is a mitzvah, and we're all one family, brothers and sisters together.

SPEAKER_00 48:38

Amen. And the movie is a sound of freedom, it always comes. Oh my god, I know the title. Yes, the sound of freedom. Yes, and that's that's what we need. And as we celebrate the 250th birthday, what better way, you know, freedom? Okay, so we're we're not gonna get into what's going on in the world. We're taking a break from the outside world, bringing the inside world to the table today for everybody to feast on. How about that,

Rising Above the Noise of the World

SPEAKER_00 49:04

Tiana?

SPEAKER_03 49:04

Not only that, I'm gonna give it a spin. Are you ready for the spin? Okay, okay, because the noise outside is so beyond what we could comprehend and understand or make sense of, it is actually forcing us to trust ourselves and not the government, the institutions to take care of us. We are our own sovereign soul beings. And wake up, it's a wake-up call for humanity's evolution. And everyone who's listening to your beautiful podcast and the wisdom that you impart on a regular basis are people who are like beings who are ready to awaken for themselves and all others so that ripple effect takes hold. And remember, everyone, one percent is all we need to tip from the noise of the chaos into higher order, and we are evolving to that place. Uh, this I have no doubt.

SPEAKER_00 50:11

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:13

And so we're blessed to be here. We signed on for this. So remember, become part of any solution. Do not become part of a problem. Exactly. Becoming a part of a problem is by getting involved with separatists, taking sides, lending lots of voices of harshness. Prayer is stronger. Become the highest version of you, and you will vibrate higher. And as David Hawkins says, the higher you vibrate, you affect countless millions under you that you don't even know of. Exactly, exactly. I believe that that's true.

SPEAKER_00 50:50

I believe it's true. Yeah, I believe it's true. You have given us so much, so much, and our hour is almost up. Do you believe this? I told you it goes fast. I told you.

Teresa’s Closing Reflection on Making a Difference

SPEAKER_00 52:39

Yeah, so awesome. Wow, this has been amazing. You know, um, every single day I get I have conversations with people that uh are just filled with, and this is what happens when you change from being a victim or watching the challenges instead and the obstacles instead of living in the solutions and um and the awareness that we are indeed all one, we are all connected. And I always think I always talk about the butterfly effect where the butterfly is his wings are flying flapping on the other side of the world. There could be a hurricane that happens because of it on the next side. So every conversation that you have is making a difference in your life and the life of other people. And I want to thank Dr. Tiana for coming here today. We have we are here at 5 p.m. Eastern every Tuesday on YouTube. Please go to YouTube, like our channel, subscribe, and you can go also, you can see us live on my Facebook page, Teresa Villardi, and on the Conversations That Make a Difference podcast page on uh Facebook as well. Until we meet again next time, I just want to say let every conversation that you're having with someone somehow, some way make a difference for them. Come from a loving place and have this, have a conversation that will make them remember who you are and make them recognize the difference in themselves because you've been there. And at the same time, when you look yourself in the mirror, have a good conversation with that person because most of the time we don't pay attention to ourselves, we pay attention to everything that's going on around us and we forget about what's most important. If we weren't here doing the work that we are to do, we wouldn't be making a difference. I challenge you, make a difference in the life of another until we meet again. See you next time. Thank you, Teresa.

SPEAKER_03 54:31
