00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:09.839
Welcome back to Not Alone with Melissa Sue Methon, where we share stories that inspire hope, bring light, and most of all, resilience.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:31.600
Today I'm welcoming a guest that is a powerful woman that is guided by God, that finds the courage to step in God's light that is within her, to do anything that's asked of him, even though it takes everything from her to move in that path.
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.479
This woman is Kira Brenton.
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:46.079
She is the founder of Joan of Art Publishing House, the host of Riders of the Island TV show, a documentary series that will launch in January 2026.
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:55.119
She is also a global spiritual guide with her podcast called Sacred Wandering.
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:06.159
She is most importantly, though, a wonderful, brave, and loving mother, a single mom of five beautiful children.
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:15.439
And today, I'm deeply moved because this woman has completely changed the trajectory of my life.
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:24.079
Because she helped me write, divinely write, the truth behind the smiles and the gut-god connection.
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:40.400
She is my writing coach, a friend, and someone that just ignites that fire within me where I'm always a holy hell yes when she asks me to do anything, because I know where it's coming from.
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.560
Yes, it's coming from her light, but it's coming from God.
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:54.560
It's coming from God, and she's pushing me to step forward with courage to do what God is asking me to do.
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.799
She's that messenger for me, and that's why I keep saying yes.
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:07.760
So today I'm honored she's visiting here in Arizona, and I have her here live, which I know you're a busy woman.
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:08.560
So thank you.
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.759
Oh my gosh, I'm so damn proud of you.
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:22.719
Like I'm just crying over here, looking at all that you've done, who you've become since you said yes to writing this book, and and everything that has happened and all the lives have changed.
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.840
And I just, I'm so honored to know you.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:26.560
Thank you.
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:27.039
Thank you.
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:43.759
And honestly, it's if you've taught me, you've taught me that spirit, the importance of that spiritual practice to truly bless our body, to protect my body, to be so strong in listening and finding that clarity and stepping into it.
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:52.319
So that's and I saw the miracles that happen because I'm following kind of how you're doing your life as well.
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:52.800
Yeah.
00:02:52.960 --> 00:03:03.439
And there's gonna be failures, there's gonna be path, and and I hope everyone listening, because I know there's a lot of women, especially listening, yeah, that are overwhelmed.
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.400
Yeah, they're uh they they're scared.
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:15.360
Yeah, they're having a lot of fear, and they're they're they've gone through a lot of abuse, yeah, uh, suicidal thoughts.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:33.199
And to hear your story today will give them the courage to step forward of how their life can be in the future and and find that clarity, just because right now I know a lot of them are hurting and they're lost and they don't know how.
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:34.560
I mean, and look at you.
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:41.280
Look, look over the empire that you have created now, the Joan of Art publishing house.
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:51.520
I've met most of the authors, and every story will save a life, is bringing light to this world.
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:57.280
And but you're helping ignite that in and birth these stories to the world.
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:58.719
So that's that's you.
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.759
That's that's you, that's what you're doing.
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:09.039
In 2017, I was still married, and I had all my trauma memories had arrived.
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:22.319
There was something that happened in in my life that actually woke up all my trauma memories of being abused as a child, and it was too much, it was so much like being in this really intense marriage, and then having all these memories arrive.
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.720
And I almost committed suicide.
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:30.959
And the moment that I almost took my life, I felt God appear.
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:39.839
Didn't see God with my eyes, but I knew it was God, and I heard words clear as day that said, You have work to do, you need to stay.
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:49.519
And I remember, I mean, I had taken Sharpie all over my arms and had written, like, I choose to live, surrender fear, face Christ.
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:56.720
Like I was trying so hard to outweigh the voices that wanted me dead.
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:06.000
But in that moment, I heard God say those words, like my truest self rose, even though I was a mess.
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:10.079
Like Kira, the body, she was on the ground crying.
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:11.759
A mess.
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.759
My truest self made a covenant that I would do whatever God asked me to do.
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.319
And that was the beginning of everything.
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.759
So my marriage didn't end until 2022, but in 2017, I became new.
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.800
And it was a slow process, but I just started to do whatever God asked me to do.
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.199
So God asked me to write a book, and I wrote my first book.
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:32.240
Yes, I think I have to do that.
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:33.680
No, that's not even the first book.
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:34.639
No, that's not the one.
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:35.680
That's like fourth book.
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.519
My first book, God told me to write a book called The Hidden Gifts Within the Trauma of Sexual Abuse.
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.519
And I was like, why would I write that?
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.680
There's no gifts in trauma of sexual abuse, but I had just made this covenant.
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:48.959
So I wrote that book.
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.439
It was the first time I'd ever channeled written.
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.879
And while I was writing it, God said, You need to start a publishing house.
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.480
I was like, what are you even talking about?
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.639
I am a massage therapist.
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.959
Like, what are you saying?
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.959
I haven't gone to a day of college.
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.439
Like, I am for sure not starting a publishing house, but I had made this covenant.
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:12.240
And so I like bought a book on Amazon on how to start a publishing house.
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:13.600
I love you.
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:16.399
And so I did.
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:28.160
And like I remember the day I went to the lawyer's office to trademark, which which the publishing house was called Freedom House, because I think my soul wanted a house of freedom.
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.399
And so it was Freedom House Publishing.
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.160
I'm there like signing papers.
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.199
I have no idea what I'm doing.
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:34.800
I'm just following the rules in the book.
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.399
And my children are like ninja karate chopping each other.
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:39.839
I've got a baby in my arm.
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.959
And I'm just like, what am I doing?
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.120
And that and that began what I would call a hobby.
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.439
Like publishing books became a hobby.
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:54.240
And I hired my sister, who's way more organized than me, to write uh to publish.
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.879
Like I was like, okay, you're gonna manage the publishing part, and I'm gonna start helping people write books.
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.560
And we just did it for fun.
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.600
And it was like five a year, I think I published, and it was horrible.
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.680
We were like duct taping publishing.
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:16.560
And um, and then in 2022, January of 2022, this like thing came alive where I was like, I think I'm really good at business.
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.720
I think I'm actually like really gifted in helping people write books.
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.560
And so then actually I started to charge a lot of money for a mastermind.
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:30.560
And in that moment, I had somebody come to me and said, You're in abuse.
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.279
And so it was the combination of both.
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:43.040
It was the combination of I had stacked aside this money, and somebody finally witnessed the truth that I had always known.
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:48.959
And I had had since 2017 so much personal development.
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.720
I had been going to masterminds.
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:55.759
I I took like five credit cards out to go to Casey Baker's nine-month mastermind.
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.439
Like we had no money.
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:03.040
I was literally like scrap mealing everything I could to become a better person.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:21.680
And so I feel like it was it was this long process of investing in myself and being trained by brilliant masters, awakening the master inside of me, and then me finally seeing this is not, this is not where I need to be in life.
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:27.199
And and that, and God told me take no child support, no alimony.
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:37.679
And so I literally was like, I have this amount of money, which hopefully can help me care for my children for a year, and I'm gonna pray to God I know how to make money.
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:39.840
This is so important.
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:46.480
Everything you said, just to go back, like for women listening, yeah, is that you said no to alimony.
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.320
You said no, because sometimes they'll find, you know, it that's a long drown out thing.
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.000
It takes so much of their energy.
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:58.960
Plus, you invested in yourself, which women have such, especially mothers, have a hard time doing.
00:08:59.039 --> 00:08:59.600
Yeah, right.
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.519
They'll be the last one they want to invest.
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:02.000
Yep.
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:03.440
And with your faith.
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.399
So you stepped into all those things.
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:13.600
So to fill your cup and to I love that you said it, awaken who you were always meant to be.
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:14.320
Yeah, right.
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.440
But to get there, you had to invest in you.
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:18.879
Yeah, that was the first step.
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:19.279
Yeah.
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:19.679
Really?
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:24.720
And do you find sometimes I go back as you said you had a friend, you had somebody say, You are in abuse.
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.639
Sometimes I'm like, I wish the same thing.
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.759
Well, I didn't nobody just come in.
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.840
So now I feel like I almost prefer to be like that for people.
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:34.639
Yeah, I am.
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:36.240
You know, where I can feel that clear.
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:37.200
Yeah, straight.
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:37.519
Yeah.
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.840
I'm like, what the hell are you doing?
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.320
Yes, you're in abuse, and let's go.
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.600
And nine times out of ten, they will not listen to me.
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:51.039
Yes, I I actually, yeah, I would say nine times out of ten, but I have some.
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:52.799
That's what they needed to do.
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:58.080
And I find they found their own clarity by writing to me and going, Oh, you're right.
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.879
And it's slowly they start seeing it, you know.
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.200
But the the questions often arise, well, how do I leave?
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:06.080
How do I do this?
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.360
And a lot of times I say, Well, you gotta go, we gotta pray.
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:15.279
We gotta pray, and God will open doors that we never thought we we would, you know, would never think those doors.
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.720
I can never tell her this is what's gonna happen, money's gonna pour in.
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.159
Yeah, but we just gotta keep faith that we're going in the right direction.
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:31.200
So I just wanted to just capture all because you said a lot there that I think is so important for the listener to know what you had to do.
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:39.759
I can't believe, like in the three years, yeah, what you have created now, and and and I see you.
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.279
I I I've seen the depth, the struggles to do it all.
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.879
Yeah, you know, it's it's a lot.
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.320
It's a lot, it's a lot, you know, and it's overwhelming.
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:58.399
Yeah, but also the practices that you do for yourself, and you know that you have to take care of you as well and your children and balancing it all.
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:02.000
I mean, it can't be easy to balance everything that you do.
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:06.799
And um, I think your faith is probably number one.
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:22.559
I mean, I know you started Sacred wondering in the blessing of the body, and because I know that's probably been a huge one, huge proponent for you to be able to be at this high energy and this light for us all, you know, to ignite that fire.
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.080
But does it it probably you you need to replenish all the time?
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.759
If I don't, I mean, I don't go a day without blessing my body ever.
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.200
Some days are long.
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:38.960
So if people don't know what blessing of the body is, it's it's a practice that God showed me where I bless water and then I take the water and I bless every chakra of my body.
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.320
And I bless that chakra to match the frequency of miracles.
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:53.120
So by the time I've gotten to my feet, I have moved through every energetic center and activation with my intention, with blessings, with prayer, that it matches the frequency of miracles.
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:59.440
And there are some days that that prayer is an hour and a half, and I sit in deep healing with God.
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:06.320
And like today, I had eight minutes, and so in those eight minutes, I blessed each chakra and then it was on.
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.399
Like it's not the same every day, and it's the same every day, right?
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:20.559
Like I'm always blessing, but some days it's deep, and some days, God, I need God to sit with me, and some days it's just like, all right, just God lift my energy.
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:26.159
And and for a while I was doing it three times a day, and I've got to get back into that.
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:33.840
But it it always happens in the morning, and that has been my ground through these three years.
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:41.039
It actually was shown to me a year before my marriage ended, and you know, my practice is very different.
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.200
I wear a prayer shawl, I have a white pitcher, I pour it into a bowl.
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:58.799
Um, and it's strange, and it was really awkward in my marriage that I was doing these practices, and I didn't like feeling awkward around how I met with God.
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:08.639
So I ended up buying a tent and placed it on my land, and it was there that I feel like sovereignty was born.
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:15.679
It was in this green army tent that I had turned into a temple, really.
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:28.000
And I would go and I would meet God, and it'd be 16 degrees outside in the winter, and I'd still be out there blessing my body because it was the place where I found safety in such chaos.
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.200
And I do believe that gave me the strength that year to leave.
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:40.159
Absolutely, that light that even a cellular level, because that's what prayer does, you know.
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:45.679
Yeah, provides that light, that strength, you know, to over that darkness, you know.
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.159
I mean, you there was just so much going on.
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:55.039
So I think that's important because that's why I love you as a writing coach, because we pray over these books.
00:13:55.200 --> 00:14:04.320
And what happened to me when we were in Mill Valley, California, I had Kira all to myself for five days to channel my book.
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.320
And it's hard to put into words what happened as we prayed.
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:15.679
And when I always say, Yeah, I uh we wrote I wrote the book, yeah, but I feel no, God gave me the words.
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:17.279
I would wake up in the middle of the night.
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:21.840
You know, I remember having three ladybugs in a bedroom that was downstairs in the winter.
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.960
In the winter, you're like, where are these ladybugs coming from?
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.519
And I was completely protected by all the trees around us.
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.200
And and that's what you do.
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:58.480
You bring where my nervous system is feeling safe to write these words that uh is hard because it moves through my body as I'm writing them, and that's so important as a writing coach that you understand when people are writing past traumas and their own stories, it's energetically moves through their body again every time you speak it and you write it.
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:06.480
So you are so good at making sure that we are our nervous system can handle all of that and we don't burn out.
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.240
And uh, and you truly believe in our message.
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:15.360
I do you do, you do, and and there's a lot of us, and so I just have to thank you.
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:27.840
And you're kind of I always say, well, you know, like the hay house and what they had for all the authors, that's truly what you're birthing with the JOA publishing, and and now with Rider's Island.
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:34.399
At Rider's Island, I cannot wait for that to launch because me too.
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:47.440
It is like, I can't tell you, this show has been stuck in my body, and it's it just I move at the speed of light, but that doesn't mean everybody I employ moves at the speed of light.
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.679
I can feel that sometimes I my mom's always like, you always want things to move fast.
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.840
So that show is gonna change the world.
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.759
And there has been a ridiculous amount of resistance, one that I don't tell all of you guys about because, well, that's not your part.
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:12.720
And I know that it has resistance because on Rider's Island, we have women of all shapes, all sizes, all ethnicities, all religious backgrounds.
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:19.039
On season two, we have a Muslim, we have a Jewish woman, we have a Catholic woman, and we're all sitting in prayer together.
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.000
Like this will heal nations.
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:24.000
Yeah, like bridge.
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:25.360
I was there for season two.
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.240
And I felt that.
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:32.240
I felt like there's a bridge.
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:32.639
I know.
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:44.159
There was a bridge between a unity between all the different cultures, all the different religions, because I felt the resistance that was on there for you know, some of the authors, because it's all so new.
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:51.600
And what was taught by man to be afraid of certain differences, I felt that resistance, and I felt I could be that bridge there.
00:16:51.679 --> 00:17:11.759
Just because I feel for me, traveling the world, learning different religions, even though I identify as the Christian, yeah, you know, it's still I see the importance of sound healing, frequencies, yoga, like all these things that sometimes people can resist.
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.559
So I love the bridge that you were that we saw.
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:14.960
Yeah.
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:15.920
That unity.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:17.359
That was so beautiful.
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:17.839
I know.
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:18.559
It really was.
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:23.440
And I still talk to them all the time and so connected, it is a bond that will be forever.
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.720
And I think it'll be there's nothing like that on TV.
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:27.519
Oh, no.
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:32.240
And that's why there's been resistance because we're gonna go change the whole world.
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:39.200
Oh, yeah, and and it's like, and this isn't a birth that you know just happened.
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:45.839
Like it is a birth that I am laboring, and I feel it, and it is a birth that I will labor for.
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:59.839
Because the world has forgotten that God speaks, and that is the work that I am here to do.
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.079
I feel that I feel that that is so true.
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:06.640
I feel that deeply that the world has forgotten.
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.200
And what we show on that show is what you and I do.
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:24.400
What we've done on every author adventure is we sit at the foot of God and we ask what are the words that need to be written for time now, for humanity now.
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:26.480
And we documented that.
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:33.200
We documented us in prayer, sitting at the foot of God, asking what holy books need to be written.
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.039
And this has been what has been done from the beginning of time.
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:43.599
Is that prophets and prophetesses have sat with God and said what needs to be written, and then they write it.
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:47.039
And that is what this show documents.
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:52.720
It is the path of the prophet, it is the path of the one who will sit, ask, listen, and write.
00:18:54.240 --> 00:19:00.000
I I feel that, and I feel that's why we had a diversity, because I'm not gonna reach everybody globally.
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:06.880
I'm gonna need this community that was there, all the authors, because they can reach others that I can't.
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:13.920
But in unity, we're all gonna speak the same thing that we are one, we're a love, and to speak to God.
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:18.400
Yes, to make more time for God, find that clarity.
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:34.079
And that's why with the my book, The Guide God Connection I wrote on season one, it is I'm guiding people to find that clarity where they can decipher am I listening, my intuition, God, or is it coming from fear?
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:40.559
And how we find that clarity, we really have a toxic load that is so high now.
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:49.759
So a lot of it is the nervousness is uh calming so we can hear, but also getting rid of some of the toxins that's causing this fog.
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.640
Yes you know, and the busyness, like slowing down.
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.920
You can't hear 'em if you keep busy nonstop.
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.160
Yeah.
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:56.720
Right?
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:03.119
So it's it's I know I re It's actually keeping it simple or going back to simplicity.
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:03.759
It is.
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:12.240
You know, in and less busyness, simplicity, simple foods, like real foods, you know, that give you light to yourselves, you know.
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:20.000
So I I've such an honor to be part of this, this, uh, this shift that the world needs.
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:20.640
It is.
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.279
And uh, I'm just so very proud of you.
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:43.920
And if uh you always ignite I've seen you, you know, when we had our event here last January, yeah, the room of people that were there in the fire that we felt and the energy, and there's a power to that when we're all together, but you have the power to do that to the entire room of hundreds of people.
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:45.599
That's incredible, Kira.
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.519
But that's because of the work, the internal work that you do.
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.319
It is, it is, it's not me.
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:58.400
It is I per I do the practice of sacred submission every day.
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:09.519
And sacred submission for me is where I pick up whatever's in the way, whatever's in the way of my highest light, whatever's heavy, whatever's too much, and I put it into God.
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:14.640
And that act of sacred submission is then me saying, I will be a vessel.
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.119
Whatever I need to do, I will do.
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:20.640
And that's the light that activates everyone.
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:28.559
It's not me, it's just that I'm willing to surrender to the higher light and then use it as fuel.
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:36.559
And you know, I'm so excited because in February, we're gonna have our red carpet event here where all of our authors in season one get to come here.
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:42.079
And then I'm so just excited because you co-led with me on season two.
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:47.440
It was such an honor to, you know, no one comes up to my secret room on the island.
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:49.839
You don't know where it is, it's hidden behind these secret doors.
00:21:50.160 --> 00:22:03.279
I loved it, and so I was able to bring you up to the secret room, the queen's room, which has this balcony at the top where I always meet with God, and I've gotten my greatest messages on the top of that island.
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:17.519
And I was so honored to bring you there, to pray with you there in leading these women, in leading a show that we know is gonna find people, people in their homes, like God is gonna be in their homes because of this show.
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:28.240
Like, what where else do you find this that's not tied to a religion, that's not tied to rules, that's not tied to you have to be perfect to know God.
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:33.039
I have made more mistakes in the last three years than I've ever made in my life.
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.359
And and God consistently shows up and meets with me.
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:44.559
And so it totally dissolved this idea that I had to be perfect, follow all the rules, be a saint for God to sit with me.
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:49.759
Instead, it showed me that God will sit with me if I will just ask.
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:52.160
There's no other precursor.
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:53.039
That's powerful.
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.960
I love that you say that because some people like our perfectionism, right?
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:02.160
And they do feel like almost that shame and guilt of like, oh, I've done wrong.
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.599
And then they sit in that shame and it brings them down.
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.319
And then the more that it brings you down, your energy down, then you get sick, your immune system.
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.279
So it's important that God forgives.
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:16.400
Yes, and to just rise up and say it's okay.
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:20.000
We don't have to like just turn the page, you know, start over.
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:24.640
And I'm definitely not perfect, and I don't claim to be, I've made many mistakes, still do.
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:36.880
But I'm learning and I'm seeing that God keeps okay, trusting in me, and I I know how to get back into that light, you know, and and trusting that I'm in the right direction.
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:39.920
Yeah, so where do you see for you?
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:43.440
What's I mean, you've done so much the past three years.
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:47.680
So, where where do you see for 2026, 2027 now?
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.240
So, 2026, I just got booked.
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.559
I don't know if I'm allowed to legally say it yet.
00:23:52.720 --> 00:24:12.799
I just got booked for a massive stage in Nashville in February, which I'm very excited about because it feels like it's time for me to go out to the masses and to share this message and awaken as many leaders as I can to this inner light of knowing that we need more leaders to write these types of books.
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.039
Books are the only thing that live beyond us.
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:17.839
Our YouTube channels, who knows what's gonna happen in a hundred years?
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.160
Like cassette tapes used to be popular.
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:22.079
You can't even buy a cassette tape.
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:27.519
So, like all the things that we do now, we don't know if technology will be there in a hundred years.
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:31.839
But books, books last forever, and books bring truth.
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:38.079
And so many people are writing books with their chat GPT or a ghostwriter, and that completely cuts God out.
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.599
Which writing is always God-given, always.
00:24:41.839 --> 00:25:00.240
And so, what my hope is is to get on big stages, to go get on podcasts, to go share this message so that more leaders will hear it, that they, even if they never work with me, if they will just continue to ask, to continue to listen and to write books that are gonna change the world, that's my work.
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.480
And so my hope is, you know, I'm going to Nashville, and then I'm gonna go speak in Paris.
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:06.880
Then we've got our TV shows hitting this year.
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:08.960
And the hope is to just reach more.
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:11.279
Like, may we bring light to more.
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:21.039
May my story of dealing with suicide ideation for 22 years of my existence and to now have a multi-million dollar company and a TV show.
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:25.519
And I just wrote my seventh book, and I am alive.
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.000
And I am alive because I don't play small.
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.359
Playing small is what has made me want to die.
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.039
When I no longer play small, I choose to live.
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.640
And I hope that that message finds everybody everywhere.
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:41.359
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:44.000
Well, yeah, I mean, exactly, because you chose to live.
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:45.680
Look what you've done in three years.
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:46.079
I know.
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:48.640
So this could happen to our listeners.
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:56.160
Like, imagine the life you can have if you just step into your truth, believe in yourself, and do ask God.
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:59.039
Yeah, you know, and just really connect with him.
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:00.319
He will guide you.
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:05.599
You've got it, you lessen, and when he tells you something, you know, go through that resistance.
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:06.319
Because I felt that.
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:11.279
Even starting this podcast, I remember having that whisper last September.
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.200
Yeah, and I didn't start it till January because I was like, oh, yeah, I don't know.
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:16.559
I don't know how to do this, blah, blah, blah.
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:20.960
But you were, you had your women's business, yeah, you know, the Mosai Network.
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.359
And so you were guiding us, you know, steps.
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:24.079
This is how you do it.
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.079
And I was like, okay, you know, we'll get started.
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:27.279
And and you know what?
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:29.279
People are like, tell me, oh, you're getting better.
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:30.720
And actually, I never re-listened.
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:32.240
No, because I never re-listen.
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:33.200
I'm the worst.
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:34.000
I probably should.
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:35.279
I probably would learn a lot.
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:40.480
But I said, I actually I'm more of a kinetic learner where I just gotta dive right in and only get better.
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:41.279
Exactly.
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:46.720
So from the first episode to now, I only become more comfortable and more just real.
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:53.920
And I uh for me, I just learn along the way too from each person that I have on, each story.
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:57.519
That's why you're saying more books need to go out in the world.
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:03.200
Yes, because I do feel that's how after I lost my husband, I actually that's what I lean towards books.
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:09.359
Yeah, books and podcasts, but primarily books of not the New York bestsellers.
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:24.000
Actually, it I looked for the actually it was through podcasts that I would meet these people that share their story of resilience because I got really curious as to why I didn't fall, but my husband did, and why I couldn't reach him.
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:25.119
Like I just remember that.
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:27.680
That darkness was like this brick wall.
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:37.039
Yeah, and and so I got curious as to okay, now that I have to take care of two children, and what if this happens to them, I better be better prepared.
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:50.160
So I got curious, so I read so many books that really inspired me, and I started seeing a common once you read so many books of personal stories, like you just look at all our authors.
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:54.720
Yes, if you read all of their books, yeah, you're gonna there's a common thread.
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:59.440
There's gonna be a common thread along all of them that people all do.
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:01.039
And one of them is pray.
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.359
And pray in their own way.
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:08.400
You know, like you said, there you know, no one religion, just pray.
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:27.440
Yeah, and the self-realization, purification, like forgiveness, uh just the time and self-reflection and self-care, that's the common thread that I see between all of us, all the authors.
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:36.640
A lot of us now we seem to have a similar purpose, but in an own different way, yeah, that we're shining that because we do need to get global, yeah, right, and reach the masses.
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:39.359
And that's why I've translated now my book in French.
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:44.079
And now actually I found one, she's in Mexico and she will translate it.
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:48.240
She said she loved my book, and she was she's a dear friend.
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:53.599
She was living here, moved to Mexico, and she said she will translate it in Spanish.
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:54.480
I love this.
00:28:54.880 --> 00:29:12.559
And I just feel all the languages because I I know just by reading this book, I will plant this seed in so many of you that I truly feel suppressing your truth, suppressing emotions is number one for disease.
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:14.000
Yes, for your health.
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:14.559
It is.
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:21.680
And without your health, you can't be there for your kids, for your loved ones, and for your purpose.
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:23.359
If you don't have children, that's okay.
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:25.119
You still have purpose.
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:30.960
Yes, you have so much work to do here, but what are we suppressing?
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:36.480
If you're constantly getting sick, there's something you're not addressing or wanting to see.
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.279
So the truth behind the smiles, suppression is the silent killer.
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:41.920
It is.
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:50.240
You know, we we so many uh the authors that I met, and I just could talk and talk forever because they host retreats for cancer healing.
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:54.559
And they told me that a lot of it is emotional.
00:29:54.799 --> 00:30:07.200
Of course, emotional, and how they treat these patients is actually moving those trapped emotions bring back a light to their cell on the cellular level with nutrition.
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:07.920
Yeah.
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:14.079
And uh, and there's so many modalities, you know, that we can go into, but that would be a whole other show.
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:27.200
But but uh it's it's I just want people to understand how important to live through your truth that not you're not willing to see, because that could be your silent killer.
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:38.960
Oh, and I feel, I mean, this is it's tender to my heart this week because there's been something really important in my life, as much healing work I do every day.
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:41.839
Every day I'm asking God to rewire my DNA code.
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:46.240
Every damn day, you know, like I'm just like I am in it every day.
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:55.839
And there was a blind spot in my life, and so last week I felt the blind spot start to like tap my shoulder.
00:30:56.079 --> 00:31:41.680
Like, hey, you should look at this part of your life, and I was like, No, it's fine, like that part of my life is fine, it's amazing, but like that tap led me to start praying, and so I started to ask God for five days, show me the truth around this part of my life, and two nights ago, I was awakened by God for two hours, and in those two hours, God showed me truth, and it wasn't the truth I wanted to see, and it was very painful, and I understood why people want to not look, why we want to live in the illusions of our lives, because if we actually looked and we asked God to see truth, when you see you can't unsee.
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:49.200
And so when I saw big decisions have to be made now, but that's the life I'm up for living.
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:52.480
I refuse to live ever again with blinders on.
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:53.839
I did that for 20 years.
00:31:54.000 --> 00:32:07.599
I refuse to live ever again suppressing my voice, suppressing my gifts, suppressing my purpose at the expense of making life better for somebody else.
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:17.599
And that creates an amount of courage and bravery that most of us don't think we have, but we do.
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:18.720
We do.
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.279
We all have this courage inside of us.
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:22.720
We all have this bravery.
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:28.960
And if we would just be willing to ask God to show us truth, we will become the person God needs us to become.
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:31.839
Oh, that was powerful words.
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.160
Yeah.
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:34.880
You are so gifted with your words.
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:38.079
That was, and it's funny that you said within the last couple weeks.
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:48.400
Yeah, there's something, there must have been something going on because I had I had something similar come up, uh, old patterns showing up for me, and it was shown to me that truth.
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:50.400
So I've been processing that actually.
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:53.200
I've been sitting in it, and I think that's why I lost my voice.
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:54.319
Of course, of course.
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:56.799
My gift right now is to use my voice.
00:32:56.880 --> 00:33:02.720
And the last time God took away my voice, I literally had um they had found a cyst on my vocal cord.
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:04.640
I had a surgery, couldn't speak.
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:06.240
I was using a whiteboard.
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:11.119
Anyways, for three weeks, and I was doing the same over the weekend, typing on my phone to my children.
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:14.880
The last time that happened to me is because I wasn't using my voice.
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:18.880
I wasn't, I was in my marriage, uh, suppressing all the emotions.
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.519
And so now there was something else I was moving.
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:30.240
I wasn't willing to see another truth in me, and I was repeating these old patterns that even like you said, I do a lot of work on myself too.
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:31.119
I still do.
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:36.160
And I will never stop doing work on me, but there was another truth, another layer.
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:38.400
It's like God's okay, you're ready for this layer now.
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:43.200
Yeah, yes, he won't show you all of them all at once because that'd be a little overwhelming, I think.
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:44.640
And I think we would combust.
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:44.960
Yeah.
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:46.079
One at a time.
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:46.880
Yeah, please.
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:48.160
One at a time.
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:48.720
Okay.
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:52.880
Because when you process that truth, there's almost this grief.
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.759
I felt like this immense sadness.
00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:01.839
Like I just I just cried and I just had to sit in it, and that was okay.
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:04.799
You know, but that's how I call it purification.
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:11.280
You you purify these old patterns by acknowledging it, seeing it, finally seeing it.
00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:11.840
Yeah.
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:14.719
And then you you you can let it go and give it to God.
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:23.679
So it's interesting is when you say your throat, so mine started out physically, and that's what led to this was a month ago, maybe actually 38 days ago.
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:27.760
I know this because I started a healing practice the exact same time.
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:35.440
I broke out in an acne, acne that was at a level that I didn't I've never seen or experienced ever.
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:43.440
It was cystic, and I had every day 10 new zits, and it was like they actually were like boils on my face.
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:44.000
Wow.
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:49.519
It was so gnarly, and it's really gnarly for me because I'm on camera every damn day.
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:51.679
I am running a mastermind every day.
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:54.079
I am, I am always on camera.
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:59.599
And I was like, I have like I'd never been more grateful for makeup ever.
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:05.039
I mean, I was just plastering on makeup because it was so intense and it hurt so bad.
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:08.079
And I was like, what is happening?
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:09.519
Like, what is happening?
00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:12.320
So, of course, the first two weeks, I don't ask God.
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:14.079
Two weeks, Kira?
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.800
Like, how embarrassing, right?
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:17.599
Two weeks.
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:22.239
I'm just like doing all this weird stuff to make my zits go away, and they just keep getting worse and worse and worse.
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:28.239
And finally, one of my mornings, I go into prayer and I'm like, God, what is going on with my zits?
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:30.559
And then God was like, It's your liver.
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:31.760
Like, what?
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:41.519
So then I like, of course, do all this research on how to heal the liver, and I'm going into my liver and I'm like, oh my gosh, there is so much suppressed rage.
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:43.440
And I'm like, but why?
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:44.880
I've done so much work.
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:46.719
Why is there so much rage?
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:50.559
And then that rage led, like all this healing.
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:52.800
I've been healing my liver for three weeks now.
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:58.800
My acne is gone, and that's what opened up this blind spot.
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.840
Like, hey, you actually have rage over here.
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:03.199
And I was like, No, I don't.
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:05.199
No, I don't.
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:08.960
And then it was like, oh my gosh.
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:32.800
And it's gonna require some very hard decisions to be made this week that will have intense ramifications, and I'm willing to do it because I watched what happens when I left 20 years of suppression, who I've become, and so now I will deal with whatever ramifications come because I will never suppress again.
00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:35.280
Suppress again, because you see, yeah, you see that.
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:39.039
So I'm I'm interested now in the liver because you said the rage, you know.
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:43.360
So many people deal with that rage and they can't pinpoint what well, why is that show up?
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:44.400
Keep showing up.
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:57.599
Now, do you find your your rage was was generational or just from just over time or something new, or it was just I well, I mean, I'm sure the rage is generational.
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:10.000
I have lots of abuse in my generational lines, but I think it's been my protector, it's been my friend.
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:18.239
Like being angry and rageful gets shit done in my world, you know, like and and it's actually a barometer.
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:20.800
My rage will show up when things aren't right in my life.
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:26.559
When alignment is off, I have rage, and then I go, Oh, what's not an alignment anymore?
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:32.320
So it's like a partner and a friend, but I mean, I've never drank it a drop of alcohol.
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:38.400
So I I'm like, people are like, Well, you've been drinking, like, no, I've never drank and my poor liver.
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:43.199
Like, when I started to heal her, I lost two inches on my waist.
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:43.599
Wow.
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:47.440
Which tells me how inflamed my liver had been.
00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:49.679
And what have you been doing to heal it?
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:54.320
Like, are you doing like I was doing the lemon and water as soon as I wake up in the morning.
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:55.280
That's what I do, yeah.
00:37:55.519 --> 00:38:08.079
And before I move out of my bed, I place my hand on her and I tell her it's safe to soften, and I tell her how much I love her and how grateful I am for her, and that she's safe to be soft.
00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:09.599
And that's all.
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:12.320
That well, I did cut out caffeine satisfactory.
00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:13.679
That's a hard one.
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:16.239
That was very sad.
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:19.519
My Starbucks people are like, Where is Kieran?
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:24.880
I think this is probably speaking to me that I have to do the same thing.
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:25.840
Oh my gosh.
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:28.079
And I don't even drink coffee, it's chai.
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:32.079
But oh my gosh, that chai was my favorite part of my day.
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:34.960
And I had to give it up for her.
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:37.519
And I have felt, gosh.
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:41.280
So it's just like, but the rage led me to find the blind spot.
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:43.360
The blind spot led me to ask God.
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:47.599
God then showed me truth, and now I have to be radically responsible with the truth.
00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:48.800
Okay, I love that.
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:57.599
I I I, you know, I'm connecting because it just it resonates so much in my body, and I I do feel your body speaks right constantly.
00:38:57.840 --> 00:38:59.519
And you said those emotions, those rage.
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:01.119
Well, what's triggering these rage?
00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:03.920
Because that's not, we're pretty even kill fun people.
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:08.239
So when that shows up, when I shows up for me, it's like you are you you nailed it.
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:09.920
It was like we're out of alignment.
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:11.519
Something's out, something's out.
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:13.679
And so it's the barometer.
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:17.679
And so, like Mona, who's my head project manager who is everything.
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:20.400
I love runs the whole damn house.
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:23.599
She, we've named rage Taz.
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:26.079
That's the name of like when I feel this rage.
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:30.559
And it's not like I rage at people, it's like, it's like a rage, like something's not working.
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:32.320
She's like, No, I love Taz.
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:36.480
Because Taz tells us where there are holes.
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:39.920
Taz shows us who's not a good person.
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:49.280
Taz, and so like there's like, it's not that rage is bad, but it's been suppressed in this certain area of my life that I just had my blinders on.
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:52.320
And so it's like, oh, thank you, rage.
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.360
Thank you for bringing zitz out because I wouldn't have gone to my liver.
00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:59.760
Right, I would have never done what I'm doing.
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:04.320
And so sometimes the body will bring it to your face, literal.
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:06.960
So you cannot ignore the signs anymore.
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:07.119
Right.
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:08.320
Like you losing your voice.
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:08.639
Yeah.
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:09.039
All right.
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:09.599
What's going on?
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:10.159
Exactly.
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:13.119
I have a friend that keeps been getting a lot of migraines lately.
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:17.280
I'm like, God's telling you something to look at something with it deeper.
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:17.920
Yeah.
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:19.519
You know, look at the root cause.
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:20.719
I'm always saying that.
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:21.840
Like, ask questions.
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:22.639
Get curious.
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:23.119
Yes.
00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:23.599
You know?
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:26.880
Curious is the word that I live by.
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:28.400
Be curious.
00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:40.880
My, you know, one of my adult children was recently telling me that they don't believe in God, which actually doesn't affect me because I'm like, no, you'll find your way today or in a month or seven years.
00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:42.960
Like you will find your way to God.
00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:49.440
But what I found was I just said, just seek.
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:51.119
Just seek.
00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:56.719
Start listening to podcasts and reading books that invite curious energy.00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.880
That's all it starts with is just be curious.00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:02.239
Be a seeker.00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:05.280
And you will end up finding the way of the light.00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:07.199
And for me, it is God.00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:09.280
That is the name I give this divine presence.00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:12.800
But I was working with someone recently who's been through a lot of really hard loss.00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:16.159
And of course, she right now does not believe in God.00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:18.880
And this is, I mean, I was like, how do I help her?00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:20.719
Because I this is my language and this is my work.00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:22.320
And so I just went into prayer.00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:31.760
And God said to me, Have her lay her heart on the earth and to breathe with the frequency of the earth, and answers will come to her.00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:34.000
And so I said, What do you think about this idea?00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:36.159
Like, take God out of this.00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:38.880
Do you believe in the energy of the earth?00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:40.000
She was like, Yes.00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:41.599
I'm like, then this is what we do.00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:43.039
We're going to put our hearts on the earth.00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:48.400
We're going to breathe with the frequency and the the like the heartbeat of the earth.00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:53.679
And you're going to breathe that energy up and you're going to breathe all your trauma into the earth.00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:55.840
And then you're going to ask for answers.00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:58.079
And then you're going to start writing after you do this.00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:03.760
And she was like, This is the first time someone has shown me a path other than God.00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.760
Because I do believe, and I have had my years that I hated God.00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:10.000
I've had my years that I didn't like God.00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:17.440
And so I have full compassion and understanding that when you've been through something hard, you're like, where the hell were you?00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:18.159
Oh, yes.00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:19.280
My daughter went through that.00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:20.320
So she lost her father.00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:23.199
She's like, okay, well, why would God take my dad away?00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:24.400
I'm eight years old.00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:24.960
Yes.00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:25.280
Yes.00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:26.480
It's a natural thing.00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:28.800
And we shun it and we shame it on the outside.00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:31.199
People are like, you can't be angry at God.00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:34.639
Yes, my anger at God helped me find God.00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:42.320
My yelling at God helped me actually shut, like break the walls that I had between me and God.00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:48.880
And so, anyone listening, if God, the word, hurts your system, you have anger, like you're not alone.00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:50.400
This isn't bad.00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:54.719
But just stop, stop making it bad and start seeking.00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:57.679
And if that means connecting to the earth, connect to the earth.00:42:57.840 --> 00:42:58.079
Yes.00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:01.440
If it means connecting to your own breath, connect to your own breath.00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:04.559
But for the love, maybe not walk alone.00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:05.280
Yes.00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:05.840
Yes.00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:09.440
That's so beautifully said because that's so true.00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:11.760
Whatever you want to call it, I'm comfortable.00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:14.719
But I recognize that a lot of people are not.00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:15.119
Yeah.00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:18.559
But I'm gonna call it the light, the divine light, what source.00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:24.239
You know, there's so it doesn't matter, you know, whatever you resonate to, but know that you're not alone ever.00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:27.039
And ultimately you have to go uh within.00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:30.800
And yeah, I feel like we we can share so much.00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:33.760
There's so much depth to you and your story.00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:39.679
And I I truly hope, I know, no, I know you will inspire a lot of the listeners here.00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:50.320
They're feeling overwhelmed and don't see how they can make it out on their own right now, taking care of five, seven kids on their own.00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:57.039
But your story, yeah, again, those books will inspire so many.00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:07.840
So don't ever stop being that incredible uh writing coach, the JOA publishing, and you know, your speaking, just the global movement that you're on.00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:14.079
I am gonna be your, you know, you have many number one fans, but well, I am your number one fan.00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:16.079
I talk about you all the time.00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:22.719
You are the example I share to so many new authors that come in who feel like, who am I to write a book?00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:24.639
I don't have a following, all these things.00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:26.320
And I always tell them your story.00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:35.599
I tell them Melissa, Melissa went from a grieving widow who was a dental hygienist to now she's been on my TV show twice.00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:38.239
She has her own podcast, she's speaking on stages.00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:45.599
Like we become, we it's not that we were ready, it's not that we had everything dialed in.00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:46.880
We just were it.00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:49.840
And as you become it, all the doors arrive.00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:50.239
Yeah.00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:52.000
Oh, there's been so many miracles.00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:53.360
And I it's not comfortable.00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:56.239
I'm not stepping into all this stuff like, oh, this is a breeze.00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:56.880
This is so easy.00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:08.800
I'm about to go on a stage in front of a big conference, and I'm like, no, I'm nervous, yeah, but I'm doing the work, I'm finding, you know, preparing for it and just stepping that God will give me the words.00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:24.960
I mean, I truly feel my story is kind of my gift because I can reach the hearts of people, yeah, yeah, because of the pain and the darkness that we have been in, and to shine to where we are here now today with my family, it gives hope.00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:28.320
So you are a hope giver, and I adore you.00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:29.199
Oh, thank you.00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:31.039
And how now people can reach you?00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:40.000
I know we'll have it all on the uh show notes and whatnot, but if people want to work with you, they want to write, they have a book in their hearts, they want to share, how can they work with you?00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:40.719
Amazing.00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:44.159
So the Kira Brinton, my Instagram, just send me a DM.00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:45.360
That's super fast.00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:48.079
And we have three links in my bio.00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:50.800
One is the author readiness quiz, which is super helpful.00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:56.400
People can understand which archetype of an author they are, which helps them understand their author language.00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:58.239
We have an application in there as well.00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:02.960
People want to apply to become a JOA author, and I have weekly webinars.00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:06.559
So there will always be a link in my bio for people to come to webinars.00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:12.000
And in these webinars, I'm activating authors, and that's probably the best place to begin.00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:13.280
I love that.00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:14.480
Well, I love you.00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:19.280
And uh thank you for listening today on Not Alone with Melissa Sue Methfin.00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:31.519
I hope this story is inspiring you to see your truth with grace, with kindness, with forgiveness, and live the life that you always have dreamt to be.
