Simply...Woman!

Crystal Andrus Morissette: Have
you ever swallowed your

frustration for so long that one
day you just snap, maybe you

yell, you shut down, you run out
of the room, you storm off, you

slam the door, you say just that
one last thing, you gotta get

the last word, and you just
gotta get the last word in, and

then you leave only to be filled
with guilt, and you literally

feel exhausted afterward? Well,
you're not alone. You're not

alone. This is happening so much
all over the world right now to

women in particular, and you're
not crazy, that's the best part.

Guess what? I haven't quite
given it a term, a model, like

we did. Janet said, Oh, I love
this. I accept model. And I was

like, Oh, I think I have a new
model that's going to go in a

chapter in one of my books. But
this one I call the over

accommodating dash rage, rage.
Rage, I'm because I, I literally

was like, do I want to use the
word rage? Women are so

uncomfortable with that word.
Yes, I should use that word,

simmering rage just under the
surface. Let's go back to it.

This is what I call the over
accommodating simmering rage

regret cycle, and it's all still
in that pride shame loop. Now

listen, I'll be honest with you,
when I started talking about the

pride shame loop openly and not
inside one of my classrooms with

my empowerment coach students, I
thought, I don't know if

anyone's going to get this, but
I tell you, we are so many of us

just looping around, getting
ourselves just up to the point

that we feel kind of a bit of
pride and like I don't, I don't

deserve this, to standing up for
ourselves, just going a little

bit further than we want to go,
and then crashing. I see it in

women everywhere. We stay quiet.
We just want to keep the peace.

We actually call it peace, not
realizing it's passive. We over

give until one day again. We
just can't anymore, and then the

shame kicks in. And that's how
it works, ladies, and there's no

one that's talking about this,
that moment of snapping it's not

the problem, it's the symptom.
Today we're breaking it down.

We're diving into what's really
happening beneath the surface.

When you're having your breaking
point. We all have them. And

listen, I've heard women that
say I never get angry, and yet

they're also not living the life
they want to be living. They're

not doing what they want to be
doing. So to that woman, I think

you're not even getting yourself
up to the pride loop. You're

probably stuck down in the grief
loop. You're thinking about the

life you want. You think about
it, it lights up the pleasure

part of your brain, and then
you're so sad that you're never

going to have it. That's another
conversation I could have a I

could do a model on that one.
But today we're going to talk

about how to stop the cycle
before it ever gets to that

point again, or at least
practice. We're going to keep

practicing. This isn't about
suppressing emotions. Oh my

gosh, ladies, this is like, so
big again. I've taught this for

30 years. Yes, I had a little
blip where I kind of forgot to

because I'm human, just like
you. This is not about being

nice. I think I'm really kind, I
think I'm polite, but that's not

what this is about. This is
about learning to hold your

energy. I'm going to use that
word, hold your flow, hold your

power in a way that's grounded
strong and unapologetically you.

Today, we've got a powerful
conversation, and we're bringing

back Angela from last week for a
follow up, because real change

always happens in what comes
next, and we will have a brand

new guest stepping into the love
seat, ready to uncover the truth

behind buried years of maybe
people pleasing or self

silencing and exhaustion. So if
you're ready for that shift,

stay with me, because this is
simply woman, and it starts

right now.

Alrighty, welcome back. You
know,Simply...Woman isn't just

about having a powerful
conversation in the moment. I

say this every week. I say it
every time I have a coaching

call with someone, it's what
happens after. That's energy.

Sometimes energy is like a shift
instantaneously, and you you can

feel it. Sometimes it's in the
days that follow, and the

moments when you're all alone
with your thoughts and you

realize, Wait, something has
shifted, and that's why we're

doing something new. Before we
dive into today's guest, we're

checking back in with Angela
from last week to see what's

landed since our last session.
Because empowerment isn't just a

one time thing or a one time
breakthrough, it's a process

I've always. Said this, you
can't just like recite positive

affirmations and say, I'm up in
love, and I do it like that,

because it is an energetic flow.
It's an expansion of energy. The

light gets brighter, and you
have to be able to build the

capacity in your body, in your
nervous system, even in your

thoughts and your beliefs, to be
able to hold that kind of power,

it takes courage. It takes
courage to keep showing up for

yourself. Holy, damn, doesn't it
ever but listen, we're going to

Angela right now. We're going to
have a really quick conversation

and just check in and see where
Angela is at. Hey, Angela, I'm

so glad you're back this week,
how are you? How you feeling?

Angela: I'm feeling okay today.
I was feeling a little angry.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: Okay,
okay, and let's talk about that.

So bring me into that energy
that you were saying. I was

feeling a little energy. I was
feeling a little angry.

Angela: Well, the last week we
we talked about me moving more,

and so I did move more, and I
got to go in the pool, and I got

to move some energy in a way
that I haven't been able to move

in a very long time, over a year
and a half, and it felt so good.

But I think as I'm moving the
energy, more things are coming

up. And I was angry. I was angry
because that was, you know, the

things that I could do before
out of the pool, I couldn't, and

I was doing them in the pool,
and that felt wonderful. And it

so it was kind of a, I don't
know, a layer of, this is really

good, this is wonderful. And
then a layer of, you know, I'm

really, I'm really pissed off
right now because it's so hard.

And so I had to focus on, Well,
which one do you really want to

do? And I didn't really want to.
I did look at the anger, but I

didn't want to stay there. But I
was

Crystal Andrus Morissette: so
Angela, I want to stay with

this. I want to stay with this.
Because I think one of the

things that we, especially those
of us that are studying energy,

understanding energy, you're a
master empowerment coach. You

graduated many years ago, you're
still a human being. So you

understand the emotions. You
understand how emotions are

connected to the level of energy
you're going to feel. However,

something that I teach now in
our new master empowerment coach

certification is, yes, we do
generally, roughly, stay within

like a book end that's that's
how I almost imagine it, like

the book end shift. You know, if
you've been carrying a lot of

shame, you you really might get
up to fear or and then that

starts to shift. But what we
also know in psychology and

something called Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy different

than cognitive behavioral
therapy, but it's that you can

be two things at once. You can
be this and that. So I love that

you were saying I'm angry and
I'm grateful. You can love your

child and be frustrated with
your child. You can be more than

one thing. But what I love is
that I just heard you say and

then I made a choice.
Empowerment equals choice.

Angela understands and embraces
that, even though she feels

angry and we need to actually
here's the here's the gift of

the anger is the anger is the
action that if you channel it in

a healthy, empowered way, it
will become gasoline and fuel

for all the changes that are
coming that will sustain you.

You won't stay in anger, but it
becomes like putting gasoline

into the spaceship and then the
pain and the desire, like you

were saying last week, I want to
live desire. Now we moved into

anger. How healthy, how good.
Yeah, I you know what? I do want

to live. And now I'm going to
the pool, and I'm pissed off

that I'm realizing there are
things that I couldn't do, but

that anger is actually got. You
have two things you could do

with it. You can either let it
implode on you internally, and

you're going to suppress it down
because I don't want to be

angry, or you're going to honor
and say, I accept that I feel

rage, anger for what I don't
even know, what I'm angry at

right now. I just feel it, I
accept that I feel it. I accept

that I don't want to feel it. I
accept that I don't want to feel

angry, but I do feel angry, and
I accept that, and in that level

of just realizing I am angry,
that awareness allows you to

make a decision, and you did,
you said, but I don't want to

stay there. So here's what we do
know, it would be energetically

almost impossible to go from
anger to gratitude, because if

you just looked at it almost
like if you just looked at it as

a number, like if we just said,
energy builds. So let's just say

it starts at one, and then as
you start feeling. Better, it

climbs to two, and as you start
feeling better, it climbs to

three. So let's say it could
climb all the way up to 1000

like, see, let's say you had the
energy to just keep climbing and

climbing and climbing and
surrendering and surrendering

and surrendering and letting go
and accepting yourself more and

accepting your frustrations and
accepting that you can't what

just you just kept staying in a
state of like and channeling

that anger into pride. Like
Angela, I remember who I used to

be, and she's still me, and I
have a lot of pride and dignity,

and that woman matters. Tell me
about her. Tell me about Angela,

when she has just she feels
proud of herself. She feels

really proud of herself. Tell me
about her,

Angela: well, she makes me smile
because I was smiling when you

were saying that. So that's the
first thing, and here's what's

great.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: And
so I just want to tell you

something, she's only one level
higher than anger, and that's

just how much better it feels.
There's a jump. So I accept that

I felt angry, and I accept that
it makes me smile to actually

have pride and dignity that
feels good. Tell me about her,

Angela. Tell me about it. Tell
me how it feels.

Angela: It feel makes me feel
good in my heart. It makes me

smile. And then I also realize I
can do action like I can move

into something forward that'll
continue that feeling, yeah,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: like
when you said you went to the

pool, and you used to go to the
pool, and it felt really good to

get in the pool again, because
that's been a while. Just also

be aware that you are titrating
in the right direction, because

six months ago, a year ago, you
couldn't move. You're titrating,

my darling, the energy is
building. And I know we want to

do that and go like a big
balloon, just blows up like a

helium balloon. And sometimes,
wow, something just happens that

feels so joyful that we do blow
up like a helium balloon, but

it's hard to hold that when we
our balloon is tight and

stretched and it just really
wants to. It takes practice to

expand the rubber the the
balloon. Try to think of your

your energy container, your
body, as being you're blowing up

energy and you're creating more
space. So now you're rising up

into pride. So let's just now
know that, like, Yeah, and you

know what, Angela, every time
you do five minutes in the pool,

that pride is going to grow, and
guess where it's going to grow?

It's going to grow out of pride
and into courage, just

naturally, and then you're going
to have more courage, because

then you're going to start
feeling like, what Angela, what

would courage have you do? As
you do just five minutes in the

pool. It doesn't have to be half
an hour. Who cares if that's

what you used to do? You were
younger, you weren't injured,

you haven't been through the
stress that you've been through.

All that stuff took its toll on
your body. Stress is the number

one problem for why the body
starts shutting down so but

here's what's so beautiful, is
your immune system completely

responds quickly when you decide
to start changing your

behaviors, walking five minutes,
all of a sudden, the stress

levels, your immune system
starts going, we're coming back.

It's not static. It's not like
age. You know. Just know that

it's not like people go, Well,
once you get old, it is what it

is. It's just not true. You can
feel better at 70, then you felt

at 40. Now you might have more
wrinkles, because there's some

things that are just it is what
it is, but you could truly feel

better in your body and in your
heart and in your mind and in

your soul and in your spirit
than you ever have in your life.

Well, would courage have you do?

Angela: Well, I just to do more
in that direction, like I

actually am walking more as a
result of being in the pool and

having my weight not have a
factor in it. I haven't had that

so now I've been walking more,
you know, in the house.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: So
just do the pool. Just do the

pool. Like, do the pool, the
pool. That pool is the number

one Angela. I rehabilitated
myself with like the pool and

Tai Chi and gentle yoga, and
even when the yoga got to be too

much, because it was too much
downward dog and I was truly

athletic enough to be able to do
those poses, but I didn't need

to. It was pushing myself and I
was injuring it was kind of like

you don't need to do that. You
don't need to run, you don't

even need to walk fast. You just
need to walk. And you actually

can just walk in the pool, and
then you can walk for half a.

Hour in the pool, then you're
going to do little things in the

pool, and you're going to feel
the water, you're going to push

your legs out, you're going to
stand on one leg and push one

leg out, and then you're going
to stand and then you're going

to do that 10 times. And then
your checklist for the next

month is I go to the pool every
day, I go and I walk for 10

minutes, and then I do 10 kicks
on one leg, and I do 10 kicks on

the other leg. Whoa, I did it.
And that's all you gotta do. And

then you do that for a while,
and that the courage that that

takes. And guess what that's
going to do? We're going to say

it's increasing your pride and
dignity, but it's not Angela,

that anger that you had to have
pride and dignity in yourself is

actually expanding your
consciousness in such a big,

beautiful way that just having
the courage to do yes for

yourself every day, even if
you're not consciously aware

that this is self loving, that
this is such a state of

willingness to work with
yourself, that there's such a

level of acceptance at where you
are, that you're doing it in the

pool and you're not pushing
yourself to try to walk around

the house. Why would you do
that? You don't need to do the

pool. Feel good about yourself.
I see you shaking your head, and

I just realized we forgot to put
you side by side with me. I just

forgot that I'm not going to do
that for the next interview. But

Angela, if everyone could see
the whole time I was talking,

because crystal talks too much.
Put the whole thought crystal

sees Angela's head going like,
yeah, why do I need to make it

hard for myself? Why would I do
that to myself? Would I take my

little two year old is learning
how to walk and say, You gotta

go run a marathon. Come on. You
would say, Oh, my God, 10 steps.

And then your little two year
old would be a three year old,

maybe like they climbed the
monkey bars. You would not ever

expect anyone else in your life
to titrate into perfection.

Everything is done in steps,
every single thing, including

empowerment, and you can't get
to 10 without getting a nine

without getting eight with a
that's how you build businesses.

That's how you build bank
accounts. That's how you build

followers. That's how you build
fans. That's how you build love.

So, Angela, I know that I don't
have you side by side. We're

going to do that with our next
guest, Angelica, who's in her

car, and I said, Angelika, I
know you're in your car, but

girl, it's your turn today.
Angela, any last thoughts, and

we're going to head over to our
next guest for some more

empowerment coaching. Just tell
me how you feel. Two feet on the

ground didn't make you bad,
woman didn't make you bad,

mother didn't make you bad
anything, Angela, just tell me

how you feel right now.

Angela: I feel really good about
myself, and I also think that I

was glad that I stepped up last
week to be on your seat, because

I think that also did this whole
process a lot smoother and

faster. And even as a follow up,
it was great. So I would

encourage that. It was
wonderful. I feel much better.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: Thank
you. And you know what? You come

on back. Like we can do follow
ups. Like, I really want to do a

call where I touch base with
Dorothy, I touch base with

Janet, we touch base with you.
Like we need to do follow up

shows, probably, like, once
every two months, we'll do a

follow up with all the guests,
and everybody will have Kumbaya.

Thank you, Angela. Thank you so
so much for being with us today.

It's incredible. And this is why
I always say the real work

happens in between the moments.
It's always in the moments in

between. Sometimes we are so
busy being busy in life that we

don't create any space for
healing. We don't create any

space for the you know that,
like, like, before my podcast, I

was listening to audio books,
and then right before I came on,

I put on some music and but I
create a lot of quiet space just

walking. And Angela's talking
about doing in the water. I'm

just walking around my house. I
listen people that go, I don't

have a treadmill. You don't
really need a treadmill. You

just walk around your house,
walk up the stairs, walk around

your bedroom, walk back down the
stairs, put in an audio book,

walk around your coffee table. I
do labyrinths. I go around the

couch. I look down and I go, Oh,
look at let's see what we've

done today. 80 660 steps, and I
haven't exercised yet today. I

cleaned up, I did some
vacuuming. I washed the floor.

Why not do that? It's gotta be
done. Someone's gotta clean up

after you. Anyways, you could
pay a cleaning lady. You could

get some exercise. And I'm doing
my Tai Chi. I'm doing this. This

what I do when I say Tai Chi.
I'm doing my infinity sign. And

I'm just like, just getting
myself, and all of a sudden, in

that moment, I am firing off
voice message. Your voice

message to Sasha, the Dean of
our School, going, this is what

we should do, and this is what
we should do. But if I was so

busy being busy thinking,
there's no space for the answer

to become obviously apparent,
and Angela just proved that. Now

let's shift into today's
conversation. Our next guest is

Angelika. She is stepping
forward with something that so

many women struggle with, and
I'm going to let her dive in,

and we're going to talk, and
we're going to do some coaching

today. Angelika doesn't even
know what's going on, and I

don't even really know what's
going on, but I know that

whatever is going to unfold
today, you're in the right

place. So stay with us and let's
dive in. Hey, Angelica, I'm so

glad you're here today. I know
you're sitting in your car and

you're in the right place. Talk
to me, sister, what's going on

for you? Uh,

Angelika: yeah, hi, Crystal. I'm
just so grateful to connect with

you. I just wanted to what I
wanted to ask. I wanted to ask

because I'm kind of like,
between, between jobs right now.

Okay, so when I'm when I'm
working, I just feel like in the

flow, and then like, I feel
like, like I feel like I connect

to other women, and I'm like,
like, I'm okay. It just like,

kind of like, fills me in. But
then when I'm not working, I

already have another job line
up, and I actually connected

with another woman that I know
from like, 12 years ago. And

like, she's amazing. I love her
energy. And you know what it is

I was just so grateful to write
to her, and then I send her

resume, and she's like, Oh my
gosh. Like, come in. We would

love to have you,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: right?
So you were, you're not really

out of a job, you're just in
between the actual work.

Angelika: No, no, no, I'm
between you. I'm actually, I

actually applied for
unemployment because it's, it's

already, like, a second week.
Okay, I'm unemployed.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: Okay,
so I'm going to cut through,

Angelica, just for the sake of
time. Okay, we're going to, I'm

just going to cut through this.
So, Angelika, this is what I'm

hearing that right now, you left
the job that you were at for

whatever reason. You can share
that if you would like to,

you're now applying for
unemployment, and in between

that you've reached out to
another woman and you think

there's another job on its way.
That's correct. Great. How are

you feeling?

Angelika: It's just, you know
what, when I'm not working, when

I'm not in that, like in that,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: like
working when I'm not racing,

working when

Angelika: I'm not racing, I just
feel I just feel very

disconnected. I just feel
lonely. I think I'm addicted to

that feeling of just like going
like a rat, okay,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: yes,
and let's just breathe and

breathe into that I accept that
I have been going at such a

hyper vigilant pace my whole
life that I don't know what to

do with myself when things start
to slow down. Does that feel

accurate? Yes, okay, I accept
that when things slow down, I

feel what do you feel? Just go
into your body, get out of your

busy brain. Let's drop down out
of your brain. Feel yourself

dropping. Angelica, I can see
your eyes moving around, which

tells me you're up in your head.
Let's just let yourself drop

down, down, down into your body.
Come on, down into your body.

Feel yourself in your body. I'm
going to feel it with you. This

is what I love about what I do.
I just connect with you. So it

doesn't matter where I'm at. I'm
going to meet you where you're

at. Let's take a big deep
breath, and as you feel yourself

dropping down into this busy
little brain, a little elevator

out of your brain. You're going
to slide that elevator button.

We're going to drop down, down,
down, down, down. You can feel

yourself dropping down through
your throat. Your shoulders are

going to start to drop down from
your ears. You're going to come

down into your body. You're
going to feel yourself somewhere

inside there, you feel this
loneliness. That's correct,

somewhere inside there, you feel
this disconnect. Stay with that.

Let's go into that place. That
place has been in there for how

long? If you could just ask it
like body mind connection.

You're talking to your body, and
your body is going to talk back

to you, and you're not going to
question anything that pops into

your head. So you're asking your
body right now as you go into

that place, what, where is it?
First of all, where is it in

your body? Where do you feel the
disconnect, the darkness, the

emptiness, the loneliness? Where
do you feel it?

Angelika: I feel like it's in my
legs. I feel like it's the is a

root chakra, and it's beautiful
for the long

Crystal Andrus Morissette: time.
Stay with it. Don't get up in

your head. Let's stay down in
your body. Let's let yourself

just enter the place where you
feel like it begins it. Does it

begin at your hips? Does it
begin at the top of your legs?

Does it begin in the mid thigh?
Does it begin in your inner

thigh? Where do you feel the
beginning of the darkness?

Angelika: I would say, from my
from my feet to

Crystal Andrus Morissette: your
feet, all the way up to where,

all the way up to all

Angelika: the way up to the all
the way up to the belly. Okay,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: so
from belly down. So let's stay

in it. Let's not run from it.
It's been there. It's part of

you. It's part of your energy.
It's part of your story. It's

been there probably a very long
time. Let's ask that heaviness,

the darkness, the place that
feels lonely from your waist

down. Let's just like, let's not
be angry at it. Let's know it's

part of you. It's been there. It
needs your attention. Pretending

it's not there working all the
time. Isn't going to ever remove

it. It's never going to leave
it's always going to be there

until we shine light on it and
we give it some attention and we

just move to that place. And
where do we want to go first,

right now, belly button, uterus,
perineum, hips, where do you

feel like your body is really
saying there's if I could just

keep like, almost like, using a
microscope, and just keep like

zoning in. Where does it
originate? Where does it start?

Inside of you.

Angelika: I would say, like, how
it's I would say, like a, like a

belly area. Okay,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: let's
stay there. Let's stay there,

and let's stay in that area. And
it's interesting, because at

first you said legs, and you're
so quick up in your brain to go,

I think it's root chakra that's
all thinking, let's stay with

feeling. Let's just feel it.
Let's not over analyze it,

because it could be legs, but
right now your your belly is

saying, please me, please me.
Please come to me. I need your

attention. You can't ignore me.
I need you. Please don't be

angry at me. I need you ask that
place inside of you, if you

could be an emotion, we could
just give you a name, and it

didn't mean anything bad. What
is the emotion that's connected

to this place inside your body?
Maybe you know the emotion.

Maybe you don't, Does anything
come up right away for you?

Angelika: I just, I just, you
know what I it just comes, you

know what it just comes
loneliness. I mean, it's just,

you know what it is. Because I
get stimulated by, like, when I

talk to older women, I get
stimulated and like, I get

inspired. But when I when I'm by
myself, like I shut down.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: Yeah,
I know. I know you're normal.

You know you're human. It's okay
to say I feel sad, but you're

it's okay to feel sad. It's what
you feel, and it's in there,

Angelika: even though that is my
son, but it's just always like

responsibility, always just
running, always what I can do

better. It's just like I'm just
exhausted.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: Yeah,
I know, yeah, if I were there,

I'd give you a big hug. So let's
pretend I am and everyone that's

on the podcast right now, we can
energetically just like a big

sisterhood, just like wrap our
arms around Angelica. We're all

just sending you some love right
now. We're going to be with you

in this place. We're not going
to try to rush you out of this

and take you somewhere else is
that would be inauthentic. So

we're going to breathe into it,
all of us, and say, I accept

that. Angelika feels so
exhausted and Angelika, maybe

you can say to yourself, I
accept that I feel exhausted. I

accept that I feel exhausted. I
accept that it's a lot on me.

Accept the self taught me. I
accept that being a single

mother in a country that's not
my homeland and I don't have any

family to help me is a lot on
me. I accept that. I

Unknown: accept that. But you
know what? Crystal, this is not

true, because I do have a
family. But you know that family

is not the family that my spirit
needs,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: even
me say, stay there. I love. You

know what I love? I love that
you said, That's not true. And

what I love is that when I say
something, not only can I feel

it, you can feel truth. We all
feel truth. We just don't listen

to ourselves. But so something
in your body said, let's stay

with it. I feel my family
doesn't nourish my spirit. Is

that true?

Angelika: That is true, but I
feel like that's my

responsibility to

Crystal Andrus Morissette: we
cannot do that like that, and

here's why, because you are not
giving yourself permission to.

Just love the part of you that's
like the single mom that's

exhausted and needs way more
than she's getting and she it's

true and it's real and it's
required, and if you can't love

and protect her, you're never
going to have enough energy

ever, ever for the world. So we
gotta first start with you, not

my responsibility, and that's
why people get messed up.

Because, you know, what we all
want to do is spiritually bypass

and be love. That all sounds
great, like Angela going, but I

just really want to be grateful.
I know you can be that and this.

So you are love. That's the
truth. That's why, that's why

Angela's like but I see the
light. I know because you

actually are the light. And
Angelica, you are such a bright

light. Stay in this breathing.
You are such a beautiful,

bright, angelic, Angelika,
that's the truth. And the truth

is, it's very painful at the
same time to be this beautiful,

bright light who only loves
people, and is around women, and

she feels great. They feel
great. That's where she feels

great, and she knows her
purpose. Isn't that a good news.

You know, contrast.

Angelika: You know, when it just
feels amazing. Because you know

what it is. I don't have to feel
my overwhelming when I talk to

them like I feel them, and when
they feel like that, I feel

better and I forget, well, like
what's really behind my stuff?

Crystal Andrus Morissette: There's a laugh of truth. I love that there's truth. So here's the great news in this. You know what lights you up? You know that you could have a career doing what's going to make you feel amazing? Do you know how many women don't even know that you already know that you already know that when I'm empowering women, Angelika is also going through to become an empowerment coach. When I'm working with women and I'm empowering women, I feel amazing. I glow. They feel better. I feel better. That's love. That's a loving exchange, that's very empowering. So it's real, Angelica, none of that's fake. But what also is real is that when you leave that you have to come back to the reality of how you feel. And none of us, unless we were taught how, know how to or want to feel anything but that, why would we? Why would any of us want to feel anything except all that love and that joy and that happiness? So now you walk out of there, and you have this reality. And if you stay busy enough, the cortisol, this is what happens, ladies, it's a biological thing too. It's not just spirit. That's why you just can't sit in the lotus position and hum Angela, because we gotta move. And here's the thing, when you're busy all the time. This is the stages. And I know other doctors or or or people that are pure fitness or pure physical would talk about the stages as the different stages of the nervous system, but let's just talk about it energetically. The first stage, when all of a sudden you start getting busy, is really empowering. That's why Angela's like, in this last week, I started getting busy, and that gave me energy. That's action. That's good. It's good that you have that job. It's good that you have those women like, I don't agree that everybody should just be like a monk and meditating. It's like, well, how are you helping anyone in the world? What do you what's How are you in service? They're needed. Don't get me wrong. The monks are needed. The monks are needed. The monks are needed because they're praying all day to lift consciousness for everybody. And I get that. They got to forget the monk. Comment, so first, Angelica, it feels really good. You had courage, you got the new job. You're talking to the women. It feels good where there's a will, there's a way you're moving your body. You're getting now, you're getting feedback. All of that energy exchange is real. But also, when we start to get a little bit too busy, just that little bit too busy, then the body starts firing off a hormone called cortisol. Guess what cortisol will do at first, numb all the pain. Cortisol will just like, numb out pain. And that's why we stay so busy. It's like, oh my God, when I'm really busy. That's why, when people go on vacation, do you matter? How many people say I just want to go on vacation, I can't wait to go on vacation. And then when they go on vacation, by the end of the vacation, they cannot wait to get back to work, and they'll actually say, I got sick. I went on vacation and got sick. You know why? Because your cortisol, cortisol levels finally dropped enough that you weren't numb anymore, and now you felt all the aches and pains, and you felt everything, because your body was finally and so you actually think you're going to. Through withdrawal of cortisol right now, Angelica, your body is going through withdrawal of stress. And so what does the body do? The body wants to maintain homeostasis. So this is a body, mind, spirit thing. I teach this all the time. It's not just one part of you. So the body that guess the next level, you keep going, you keep going, you keep going. You keep going. You love the women. You love the women. It feels good because you feel this and this. I feel love, and I feel love, and I feel love and I feel good. But then I leave the women and I feel this, the cortisol, the cortisol. And then guess what starts happening with cortisol, Angelica, after a while, cortisol becomes the pillars of aging, obesity and illness. So when you're under stress for too long, and then at a certain point, you say, I don't understand, I eat broccoli, not you Angelica, because you're actually doing the work of the women and the love and all the other stuff that's balancing it out. But it's not enough, because once, cortisol, now has gone longer than 28 days. Ladies hear this. 28 days of prolonged stress, your body is now going into the third phase, which is exhaustion. And in that state of exhaustion, we start to become almost apathetic. So what's happening to Angelica right now? And I'm only I'm not a doctor, but I'm guessing that Angelica now has had a state where it's slowing down enough that cortisol is dropping. And guess what? This is a really amazing thing, but your body is addicted now to those stress hormones, and your body will now start sending out the signal. Get more drama. Go find some drama. Get some stress in your life that'll make you feel normal. That'll be like getting a hit of a cigarette if you were a smoker, going through withdrawal, you quit drinking. Guess what? After a week, you're in such craving mode, you need another drink, even though it's poison, and you know it's killing you, but your body needs that homeostasis. Your body right now is actually resetting my darling, and it feels uncomfortable, and you got to be alone now with all of those feelings that you didn't have to feel when the cortisol was pumping through your body, or we're eating sugar because that's cortisol too, or we're drinking wine that's gonna fuck up our did I just say fuck up that's gonna fuck up our cortisol too? Yeah, the shit that just comes out of my mouth pops out just like that. Or we're under stress, or we're like, there's a multitude of things that we do, and there's these little dopamine hits we get. The dopamine, dopamine dopamine is quick. Dopamine is quick, dopamine is work, dopamine is food. Dopamine is and then after a while, you've had all these hits that are not natural, and your body can no longer sustain that. And this is when women hit the wall and their body is failing them, and they have no choice now. Angela, Angelica, you're you're still young and vibrant and beautiful. You keep this pace up for 20 more years. I don't want to say it like that, because I used to have people say shit like that to me. You keep this pace up, you're going to be well, guess what? By the time I turned 50, I was two five pounds. My blood pressure was 160, over 110 it happened to me because too much stress is going to do that to any human being. So, Angelika, you're going through withdrawal, stress. How does that
feel?

Unknown: Um, I mean, it feels
good to know that the truth.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: Ah,
look at how this energy just

changed. It feels good to know
the truth. I'm going through

withdrawal of stress, and it's
like my body is going through a

withdrawal of stress hormones,
like quitting smoking, like

quitting drinking, like quitting
sugar, and I'm craving, craving

busyness. I So let's sit with
that for a minute. I accept.

Let's try this. Angelika, take a
deep breath and tell me now I

accept. What are you accepting
at this conversation? What is

this conversation leading you to
feel now inside your body,

Angelika: I accepted my body,
that my body,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: I
accept that I have this

knowledge what my body is going
through, and I accept that my

body is going through withdrawal
right now, and it's painful and

it's painful, and I accept that
this is painful, and I accept

that this is painful, and I
accept that sometimes it sounds

crazy, but getting healthy is
painful at first.

Unknown: I accept that this is
crazy, but I.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: You
don't have to say that part,

Angelika, because, like, I
accept that this is crazy. It is

crazy. You know what's so crazy?
It's like leaving a bad

relationship, and then your body
is incomplete. At first, you're

like, courage, Oh, I feel so
good. I'm so proud of myself.

And then all of a sudden you
start going through withdrawal,

and your body actually starts
saying you should go back to

him. But actually your body is
like going through withdrawal

from stress, and it's craving
stress, drama and dysfunction,

so it can have that same set
point it used to be at, but

you're rising up now. So in this
calm time in between, this is an

opportunity for you to make you
not your son, because you're

already an amazing mother. That
one's done, check that one off.

Check good done. Bucha. Now,
this is an opportunity for

Angelika to put all of her focus
on her dreams, feeling good,

walking every morning, going to
the spa if she has the extra

money, or giving herself a spa
day at home, because she knows

how, calling up some of her
friends that are also massage

therapists and all of those
people and saying we should

create a little group where we
exchange massages, where we

exchange facials. All of a
sudden now you're realizing

what's up to me is I have a
family that doesn't nurture me.

They never have, they never are
going to that would be a miracle

if that happened. Or I can
choose in this time off to make

the end, take the time and make
the effort, and it's gonna be

uncomfortable at first, to start
reaching out to people and ask

them if they'd like to go for a
walk sometime in the next week.

Hey, would you like to meet for
a coffee?

Unknown: So actually, I did.
You're reading my mind Crystal.

Because, actually I did
yesterday, while I was, you

know, in like, a better minute
head space, body space. So I

kind of, like, connected with
the co workers. It's like, why

don't we, like, wax each other,
at least, like, if I level some

head, I'm gonna wax

Crystal Andrus Morissette: you,
and you wax me. She's like, you

really she's laughing. Just, I
just want to point out that 10

minutes ago, she was crying, and
now she's laughing. Because you

know what real emotions are?
Just like a child, we attach

drama to our emotions, and then
we start to cry in the wheel.

It's true. I think you know
what's really true? My family

suck. My family. I should go get
a bottle of wine. I don't even

have to work today. I'm
unemployed. I'm a loser. Let's

get more wine. We should get
some bag of chips. We'll drink

wine. We'll eat chips, we'll
write long letters to them and

tell them how much we hate them.
We'll play sad songs, and I will

feel even shittier tomorrow. And
then I will say, It's my

responsibility. And I would say,
why don't you just say them,

Angelika: that's true. That is
true. This, I have to say,

actually, you know what? It is

Crystal Andrus Morissette: true.
Look at the freedom this woman

gives me. I thought
enlightenment, man, no,

Angelika: you're giving me a
freedom. Because Crystal, I'll

tell you something like, I think
I would love to have a family

members like you, like with your
consciousness, but I know that

will, I guess, never happen. It

Crystal Andrus Morissette: will
then stop. I didn't have it when

I was your age. I had two little
girls, and that was it, and I

was lonely and I was sad, and I
had dark nights of the soul, and

there were nights that I wanted
to take my own life because I

was so desperate that I couldn't
understand why the people who

are supposed to love me didn't
love me, and all these other

women in the world love me, and
my own freaking parents and my

own freaking brother and sister
and cousin and aunties don't

Love Me, but maybe they do, but
they didn't know how to show it.

Maybe it's too much. Maybe they
didn't know how to vibe with me.

Maybe when they were around me,
they felt insecure. There's a

whole bunch of things in my
enlightened state that I have,

the compassion of understanding.
Maybe I was too much for them.

Maybe when they were around me,
they left feeling like losers

and bad about themselves, even
though all I was saying is,

you're amazing and you could do
this and you could do that, and

they didn't want that. So I had
to accept that, and then I had

to decide, courage is going to
have me reach out to that

student that I vibe with, and
I'm going to say, Hey, we should

go for dinner, or I'm going to.
Reach out to that woman that I

met, and every time I see her in
the coffee shop, we always say

we should exchange numbers, and
I'm going to this time, and I'm

going to text her this time and
say, Hey, do you want to go for

a coffee next Saturday morning?
And all of that takes courage to

build a new family, and it it
takes effort and titrating and

turning the Titanic feels hard
at the beginning, just like

Angela walking and feeling
angry. What do I have to do

this? Because I deserve to be
loved, and I deserve to be seen,

and I deserve to make the effort
and take the effort to get

myself out there, because no
one's coming to save me, god

damn it, and I can save myself.
And if I lived 20 minutes from

Crystal, we would walk every
single day, because crystal

loves me. And if I lived by
Angela, we'd go for walks. I'd

go to the pool. We do pool
aerobics together, like we

would, though, ladies. And you
know how many women say I don't

have anyone in my life, and I
say you're not alone, like you

need to know that we are finding
each other from all over the

world. Sometimes, when you're a
special little soul, it you just

you're we, you know what they
used to call it, and I didn't

like it, the black sheep of the
family. I'm the black sheep of

the family. You better believe
it. I am the black sheep of the

family. Nobody could figure out
why was this when I was younger.

Why do you want to do that when
you're younger? Why do you want

to do public speaking? Why do
you like that? I don't even

know. I didn't even know not to.
Why do you do that? Why do you

do that? And why do you do why
would you want to open your own

business? And why would you
write a book? What if nobody

buys it? Why would you spend
your money on that? Who are you?

Who are you to do that? Well, do
you think you're better than us?

She thinks she's better than us.
Now, do you know she thinks

she's better than us? She's
never said that, but I just know

it. We're never going to bring
up her books. I know she's on

her seventh but when we get
together at family dinners, no

one will ever bring up the fact
that Crystal's ever written a

book. They're writing books now,
but they won't bring up the fact

that you've written a book. They
won't talk about it. Angelika,

so when you say, I want that
level of consciousness with my

children, it took daily
spiritual practice to get there,

and it still does, because my
little Julia is extraordinary

and amazing, but she still
frustrates me and my little

Madelaine, who is the salt of
the earth and the kindest little

soul that has ever probably
lived, still frustrates me and

my husband. I

like, because I feel this and
that, and in that moment, I stop

and I breathe, and I put two
feet on the floor, just like I

asked you to do. Take a deep
breath, get back in your body

and ask yourself, how you feel?

Angelika: I feel much better.
It's just, you know what it is,

I'm just looking for that like a
line aligned person, like

aligned people. I just don't
want to

Crystal Andrus Morissette: great. I'm not saying we've just moved. We've just moved in this short period of time from shame and guilt and apathy and grief and fear and we're in desire. Now I want to find my person, Holy Hannah. So do I you're going to find your person. You're going to find lots of your people. In fact, I'm going to actually tell you all something. It's gonna shock everybody. I hope my husband never listens to this. You probably have a million soul mates. Okay, this idea that there's one soul mate That's stupid. Like, do you know how many people on this world, in this earth would love you? Like, if you put yourself out there you went to China, you don't think you'd find someone in China that would scoop you up and love you. If you went to England, you don't think if you lived there for a year, you'd find someone that loves you. There are your sole supporters all over the world, then they might not be your family. In fact, it probably isn't going to be your family. Your family are probably your greatest life lessons. They're going to teach you the most, they're going to trigger you the most, and they're going to give you the greatest opportunities for personal growth. They're going to teach you about boundary setting. They're going to teach about self love. They're going to teach you how to accept yourself even when they don't. They're going to teach you what true love is, because if your parents love you so much and let's, I'm going to tell you something. First of all, I hate to say this, but I'm always like, Well, those are the people who are just like, anyways, it doesn't matter. Care. I personally didn't get that, so I can't speak to that, but what I can tell you is this, when you learn how to love yourself, take care of yourself, nurture yourself, make the time for self care. Make the time to put the same Pellegrino in a wine glass. Grow Your Own basil and put it in your glass and take the time to drink it, yeah. Terry, something in your body goes, she loves us. I'm loved even in spite of being a bratty teenager, she loves us, even in spite of the fact that you left your first husband and your children had to have to go through things, and you felt guilt, and you I still deserve love. You still deserve love, and you still deserve your own love, and I get the loneliness because you're human, and the truth is, the more that you allow yourself to have quiet times by yourself, that's when you're going to accomplish your greatest things you'll ever accomplish, because you won't get the shit done you really Want to get done if you're constantly doing facials, you you gotta get your pictures up on social media. Girl, you got a business to run, you got things to do. You got reels to make. You should be walking in the park going. Look at my skin. It's glowing. You want to have skin like me. We can take a walk every morning on social media. Angelika, there's so much for you to do. What would courage have you do, my darling, what would courage have you do just today? One thing, one thing you could do for yourself
today.

Angelika: So I just felt great
that I went to that the dry

sauna, and I just feel grateful
to be in your presence today.

But really, from the morning, I
had an intention to open the

coaching, but I had, like, other
stuff that I had to upload on

unemployment. So it's just like
the other stuff always that,

like my mind is now,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: now
you have space to stop yourself,

breathe. I got my unemployment
done. I got that done. I went to

the spa. I've had a dry Sonic.
Oh god, I'm blessed. I've got

gorgeous red nails. I'm
stunning, I'm beautiful, I'm

smart, I'm driven my little guy,
he's getting older. He's going

to be in school full time soon.
I'm going to have so much more

freedom, more and more time for
myself. I'm so young. Holy shit.

You know what? You know where
I'm going to be when I'm

Crystal's age when I'm 54 Wow.
This is exciting times for me.

I'm in the presence of somebody
who not only can do it, she's

going to show me how to do it.
And if I should, I just say

something. If I just show up on
my Tuesday calls for Mac, I

probably would be a glowing
goddess making a lot of money if

I followed the lessons and did
the formula. Ladies, you know

what everybody tells me all the
time? I know I signed up for

$20,000 in coaching, not with
me, but I have one client like

I've signed up for $20,000 in
coaching. But guess what? You

bought 40 coaching calls, and
you only use six. So you spent

the money. You bought Mac, but
you didn't complete it. You

bought that course, and that
course and that course, in that

course, but none of that has
anything to do with actually,

you're applying any formula. You
can buy all the courses if you

don't do them and apply the
formulas, every one of them are

going to work, you know, like,
if you do them, if you buy the

course for walking every day in
the pool, and you follow it, and

every day you walk in the pool
with the course, you're going to

feel better if you do the thing
and you say, I'm going to do the

thing, and then I'm going to
start my mentorship coaching,

and I follow the thing, and I do
the thing, and then I finish the

thing and I hand in the
assignment. It's going to work.

And if crystal says, get on
social media and start a podcast

and show up every week and get
my thing and start doing it. And

you know, I told Julia when she
first started her business, and

she just launched her own
skincare. And she she just

launched her own line, 411,
cosmetics. Her event on the

weekend was so spectacular. I
laugh because she I know this

kid's whole journey, and I know
the first time she did her very

first video, and she said, But
nobody's it's on YouTube, and

nobody's watching it. I said, Do
it every single week. Eventually

they'll come and then once it
clicks, they'll watch back all

those videos. But you've got to
show up every week, every week,

every week, no matter what,
every week, every week, every

week. And then you'll get more
comfortable, and then you'll

talk faster and better and
smoother, and then you'll edit

better. And this will get
better, and that will get

better, and that. Get better,
even if nobody ever watches

those then find the time you
were like, Oh my God, I've

nailed it. I know what to do.
Delete, delete, delete, delete.

Here I go. Whoo. After the
races, that was all practice,

but practice makes better. So
what's Angelika going to do this

week for her dreams?

Angelika: Um, in the morning, I
just want to get into, like,

finish the PECC. I just want to
finish that.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: Okay,
so that's a lot to just say I

want to finish PECC. What are
you going to do this week? Break

it down. I'm a Bossy Pants.
Break it down for me. Tell me

what you're going to get done this

Angelika: week. Um, in the
morning, that's what I'm

planning. Like, to get into the
lessons. Okay,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: so
how many lessons are going to

do? One lesson, two lessons. How
many are going to get

accomplished this week?

Angelika: I would say I would
put like an hour a day. I mean,

an hour in the morning. Okay,
why don't you pick

Crystal Andrus Morissette: a
number of lessons? Do it like

that. I'm going to finish up
until week eight today, Friday,

and then you have a decision to
make, are you going to do it or

you're not? And then you're
going to get as much done as you

can. And if you only get up to
week seven, then you're going

to, damn I got a lot done, and I
put a little deadline on myself.

A little pressure makes us
perform. Too much. Pressure

exhausts us and kills us. A
little bit of pressure, a little

bit of play, a little bit of
pleasure. I am simply woman. I'm

sexy, I'm spiritual, I'm
sensual, I'm smart, you're

everything, my darling. You're
not just a workaholic. Thank

you. You're welcome anything you
want to share, Angelica, before

we say goodbye, it was great
conversation today. I

Angelika: just, I just wanted to
say, like, I'm just so grateful

to have you in my life, which is
like, I mean, I just, it just

feels so good to have somebody
like, so conscious with this

type of brain. I love you. It's
just so, you know, it's just so

amazing to have somebody that to
see you, to understand you. I

mean, it's just, it's just,
like, priceless. Thank you.

Thank you. No, thank you. Thank
you. Thank you. That's

Crystal Andrus Morissette: it
though, like, what you just said

to me, that's what it does.
That's, that's increasing

emotional capacity right there.
That feels good. Hold it,

receive it, ladies, when
somebody compliments you, we

just go, Yeah, thanks. You just
accomplish something, and we go,

yeah, moving on to the next
thing. Got the lesson done?

Good. Receive it. Oh, that feels
so good. Thank you so much. I'm

gonna hold on to that. I'm gonna
really let that really juice it

up in my body, like everyone
imagine right now, just milk it.

When somebody gives you a
compliment, milk it, hold it,

repeat it. Remind yourself of
it. Those are the little

glimmers that start building
post traumatic growth. There's

not just post traumatic stress
disorder. Everybody's been

talking about trauma now it's
like we're all traumatized.

Everybody's traumatized. So
guess what? There's not just the

ability to get unstuck. There's
actually, what's been proven now

scientifically, is we can
actually take trauma and not

just use it to not just get
unstuck. We can actually use it

to grow. We can actually use it
to, like I said to Angela, Use

that anger as jet fuel for the
best life you could ever create

for yourself and you deserve it.
Use your anger at your family,

at your ex, at every mofo that's
let you down and hurt you. You

channel that all up, and you
say, you'll see, you'll see,

I'll show you. And now listen,
some of you are so high

resonating, I already see
Angelika face. She's like, that

doesn't work for me. You know
why that doesn't work for you?

Angelika, because you're already
up here. Like, I don't want

anyone to see. I don't want
revenge. I just want to be

happy. But guess what you'll see
just does enough to get you to

the next point, and then the
courage gets you to the next

point, and then the willingness
gets you to the next point, and

then the acceptance. All of a
sudden, you're like, you know

what? I have to accept my family
for what they are. I can't

control them, though. Angelica,
you've tried. You have spent a

lot of time trying to control
how they see you, how they feel

about you, what they say about
you. It hurts you. You have to

stay very busy cuz letting all
of those feelings that's really

hard. I accept that my family
just doesn't see me for who I

am, and I accept that I maybe
don't see them for who they

really are either.

Angelika: So you just have to
say, Fuck it.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: Sometimes
we all just need a fuck it

bucket. You just throw it in the
fuck it bucket and listen. And

every so often you just go, Fuck
that shit. Oh well, fuck that

like, that's how I sometimes
just joke around and be like, Oh

well, fuck you. And the truth
is, I'm so high vibing with so

much love, even as I'm saying,
fuck you, I'm really, actually

saying I already forgive you. I
can't be bothered whatever I see

the bigger picture, you're a
wounded little soul. I'm a

little wounded soul, our two
little Wounded Little parts,

we're not wounded souls. Cancel,
delete. Soul is never wounded.

Mind and Body get wounded. Soul.
Mind gets in the way and puts

all kinds of blocks around it,
and then the little soul just

gets put in a little wooden
cabinet somewhere inside your

heart, and you got a big layers
of protection to keep you safe,

and what you're doing now is
stripping away all the

protection so that you can just
get back to being the shiny

light that you are, and then
eventually, whether they see you

or not, and whether they love
you or not, and whether they

show up for you or not, you will
attract your new soul family.

It, it's just how it works. I

Angelika: experienced that
Crystal like the days that I

just feel like, oh my gosh, like
I'm just it just feels so good,

because I also listen a lot of
Abraham Hicks videos and that

like the vibrations that like,
like I'm vibrating and I feel

like I'm attracting, like, the
same level of energy.

Crystal Andrus Morissette: Of
course, that's why you track

them. New job with the new
woman, it's on its way. So now

you have time to reset your
nervous system, reset your

spiritual practices. Start your
day the right way, the way you

start, the way you the way you
start your day is how you live

your day. How you live your day
is how you live your life. How

you start your day sets your
entire life in motion so you

decide whether it's five minutes
of meditating, five minutes of

walking and five minutes of
beautiful music, journaling.

That's a spiritual practice,

Angelika: meditation. I actually
do it. I'm sorry for interrupt

you. Meditation. Actually do it
like every night, but then,

like, do it

Crystal Andrus Morissette: in
the morning too. Part your day

the right way. Every day it has
to start the right way. And

whatever that means for you
ladies, it might be a hot

shower. It might be lighting a
candle and saying invoking your

Archangel. It might be pulling a
goddess card or a rose Oracle

Card. It might be putting
writing some incense. It's

already burnt out. It might be
walking around in a state of,

I'm so grateful. I'm so
grateful. I'm so grateful. Fuck

those motherfuckers. I'm so
grateful. Fuck those

motherfuckers. I'm so grateful.
Until finally, something in you

goes I am so grateful, even in
spite of those mofos, I know, I

just love throwing the F words
in there, just every so often,

it shocks everybody. And they
always go, well, you're such an

angel. Did that word just pop
out of your mouth? I know, but

somehow when I say it's still
high resonating, I do shit like

that to jolt people, and then
they pay attention. I remember

the first time I heard Debbie
Ford swear I thought she was

like, I have her books. Have
read me. She just became one of

my best. There's an example. Do
you know that all of my friends

in my life now all came after my
success, because most of them

could not vibe with me anymore.

Angelika: This is so true.
Actually, Crystal, I just as

you're saying about the day
before, I just seen the picture

on Instagram because I follow
her sister with her mom. Oh my

gosh, her mom. And no, I

Crystal Andrus Morissette: know
them all. I'm just cutting you

off. Arielle Ford, and I do you
know that she just got her book.

It just got grabbed. It's going
to be turned into a movie. She's

going to be the next Eat, Pray,
Love and you want to know

something. I helped her with
that manuscript. It the first

time I went to Carlsbad. I had
lunch with Arielle. We had a

four hour lunch sitting in La
Jolla. She told a six hour

lunch. She told me the whole
book. I said, Send me and I want

to read it. It came in its first
version. She said, nobody else

has even read this yet. As I was
reading it, I did give her

suggestions, because, like, I
think of myself as a leader. I

could have just said, This is
great. I love it. I said, this

is going to be great. I would do
it in first person. I would take

us into the experiences when
you're walking in the Ganges in

the India. Tell us what the
water feels like on your leg.

Take me into the feelings. Tell
me more. I need to know more.

Tell me the experiences. Let me
feel it. I def Kurt to write

that all back. She also shared
the book with Sherry salata,

who's Oprah's, who was Oprah's
executive producer for 25 years.

Then I became friends with
Sherry Salata, like it's the

circle. Angelika, you're in my
circle. Now that's your circle.

So then I had with lunch with
Arielle, and then Arielle sent

me more versions of the
manuscript, and then the

manuscript got picked up, and
then it got published. And then

she asked me if I would write a
review for the manuscript for

the book, and the book is on the
thing. And then she was like, Oh

my God, you're not going to
believe this. And then all of a

sudden, for a year, it went so.
Feel it. Nobody was buying the

book. Nobody wanted the book.
Nobody was doing anything with

the book. It would take courage
to show up every day, and people

still keep going after your
dreams. You just put a book out

there, and you thought, this is
going to be the book, and the

book didn't become the book. But
life is not a sprint, it's a

marathon, and it's showing up
every day for yourself, in spite

of the I feel love and I also
feel so frustrated. And every

day, you just keep showing up
for yourself. And she just got

the call that her friend, who
knows this friend, just got it

connected with this place that
because that's energy. And then

she got the call, guess what
they're going to do, like an

Eat, Pray, Love with my book,
and if that can happen to you,

that can happen to me and that
can happen to you, that's

beautiful. I love you, Goddess.
I love everyone. Thank you for

the great, amazing conversation
today. Do you see that it gives

me energy?

Angelika: Thank you, and I have
the energy too. Of course,

Crystal Andrus Morissette: you
do, what a powerful session.

Honestly, I want you to take a
deep breath right now, all of us

just anchor it in Angelika.
Anchor it in anchor in that you

feel good. You feel better. Who
I feel better? Guess what that

means, I'm more empowered,
because whether you are in the

love seat today or not, this is
how energy works. You might have

just been listening watching,
and I still know that something

in this conversation landed
exactly where it needed for you

today. So here's my question for
you. You right now, sitting

wherever you are, what is the
one thing you're going to take

away from today? Ask yourself,
what spoke to you, what shifted

inside of you? Because
empowerment isn't just hearing

the truth. It's not buying the
course. It's not buying the

book. It's about what you do
with it. Take a moment to feel

it, to own it, and to decide
what comes next for you. And if

today's conversation moves
something inside of you, please

don't keep this to yourself.
