EP 55: What Your Gut Is Telling Your Brain About Your Faith

Your gut is trying to tell you something!

I’m Melissa Sue Methven, author of The Gut God Connection, and I share how stress, grief, and everyday life affect digestion, inflammation, and clarity and how listening to your body can guide real healing.

We explore simple, practical ways to calm the nervous system through breathwork, meditation, journaling, and affirmations so change can take hold. Gut health is a whole-system issue, from oral care and mental health to toxins, mold, and heavy metals. I also share prayers, grounding exercises, and the story behind the zebra on the cover, showing why balance matters more than rigid rules.

At the end, follow a guided moment to soften grief, shame, and tension with hand-on-heart breaths and “I am” statements.

Subscribe, share with someone who needs steadiness, and leave a review to help more people reconnect with their bodies and vitality.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.600
Welcome back to Not Alone with Melissa Sue Methfin.

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:07.919
First of all, I just want to thank you for listening in today.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:19.359
I have so much gratitude for the support because I know by using my voice, this has been a calling ever since my husband died by suicide.

00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:26.239
I was told to use my voice and also write these books.

00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:32.719
Oftentimes these books come with me in prayer.

00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:37.359
So I'll sit in prayer and ask what needs to be written.

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.439
Which stories are important.

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:47.439
And I am often woken up at 2 a.m., at 3 a.m.

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.240
and it just flows.

00:00:50.719 --> 00:01:05.359
And that is why I have been able to write both my books, The Truth Behind the Smiles and The Gut God Connection, in five days, the major draft in five days.

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.400
Because it I don't get stuck.

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:26.319
It just flows as much, but I have to be so connected within and connected in prayer without the noise and be able to listen and hear the quiet whispers that is told that I need to share with the world.

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.079
So now today I'm here to share what is the get-god connection.

00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:35.599
What is this book about?

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.120
Well, when I knew I'd write a second book, I asked for the title.

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:42.560
What am I gonna write about?

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.760
Because I truly live my books.

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:52.000
I I each story through store personal stories of me and my family.

00:01:53.120 --> 00:02:07.760
It really brings along this awareness of how the body truly truly of how the body truly is your biggest messenger.

00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:22.159
After my husband died by suicide, I really had to go within and do some deep inner soul searching and work.

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:37.759
And what I came to realize is that years, decades prior, my body was sending me signals, like these little alarms along the way, but I wasn't listening.

00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.479
I wasn't my mind wasn't connecting it.

00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:59.120
And what I realized is how important to integrate what your body is trying to say, to put it in motion, your nervous system has to be in the parasympathetic.

00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:08.159
It has to be peaceful, it has to be calm to receive that message, but to integrate it.

00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:24.719
So the gut-gog connection is a lot of information about our health, our gut health, about our oral health, about our thoughts, our mental health through my own personal stories with my children.

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:57.199
Now I can go back back in time and really piece it together with all the wisdom and knowledge that I've researched till now and piecing it together, how I truly feel that if I could teach you to start listening to ever, if I could teach you how to listen to every every cue of your body from hmm, a new rash, why is that there?

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.960
To a new sore throat.

00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:23.920
These are all little signals, and I want you to become so attuned because it's your body trying to bring you back to connect to you, to your truth, to your soul purpose.

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.439
And it's not another protocol.

00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:36.480
I'm not guiding you through another protocol because I truly feel we are all created different, our genetics are all different.

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:52.560
But what I'm doing is making you observe your patterns, what your body is saying, and how to connect with your nervous system and learn how to really calm.

00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.079
I know when we're in fight and flight, this can active, this activates me sometimes.

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:06.399
I'm like, oh yes, you know, it gets me going, but I know long-term effects of staying in the fight and flight.

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:07.439
Think about it.

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.959
What happens when you're in fight and flight?

00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:18.480
Your blood vessel constricts, your oxygen to all your tissues decreases.

00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:29.839
You also, as far as your gut, you it puts on hold, taking on all the important nutrients to all your brain, to all your tissues.

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.000
That's what happens over time.

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.279
And so in that state long term causes inflammation in the brain.

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:54.959
Now, these are all things that I've come to realize with my own family living in fight and flight for too long, seeing those effects in my husband, in my children, and of course myself.

00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.920
So this is just from lived experience.

00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.800
I'm not coming at it as a doctor.

00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:13.839
I'm coming at it as a friend, a friend sharing my wisdom, my wisdom in my inner remembrance of the information that have been given.

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:25.600
I have been blessed by all this information that comes just flowing through me about health and the interconnection of the spirit, of the higher power.

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:33.040
How truly all of our lives are being driven by a higher power.

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.360
And and this higher power is always there guiding you.

00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.639
It's like you have this whole team always surrounding you.

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.639
You're never truly alone.

00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:57.279
And how important that is to truly believe that, integrate that, and how your life, once you integrate that and let it be your guide and completely surrender.

00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:08.639
When I completely surrender to what is being asked of me, to that next step, when I ask the questions, what is my next step?

00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.319
What is the next chapter in my book?

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.879
Show me the truth.

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:26.160
I am very clear with my asks and my prayers that I will be shown if I'm willing and open enough in my heart to listen.

00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:42.240
And so this ultimately for me would be such a gift to gift you the power to listen, to learn to listen to your body, to understand how your body is communicating with you.

00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.439
So this is the gut-god connection.

00:07:46.079 --> 00:08:16.160
Because I talk about your environment, the toxic load, heavy metals, mold, and your parasites and gut health, not out of fear, not out of fear, because I know fear as the whole in the emotion could also create this imbalance in your body and a disharmony, but more of a empowering you with this information to truly integrate it.

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:30.079
But after I was finished my book, I almost had to uh reward some of these uh chapters because I want to remove any fear because it's a lot of information.

00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.360
So after each chapter, I've put in a prayer that you can say.

00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:41.919
And I will also have, I'm creating a gut god blueprint.

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:52.000
And this one will be a 12-week program, and it's all about nervous system and finding safety in your body so you can integrate.

00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:58.399
You will feel ready to integrate the knowledge, the wisdom that I've put in my book.

00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.039
I love that I have a dear friend that she is calling it her health bible.

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:12.399
And so I just want to say thank you, and I'm deeply honored that she feels that way because it's it's my passion.

00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:16.399
Anyone who knows me, I get very passionate to talk about health.

00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.759
And I ultimately want that for everyone.

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.240
I never want you guys to normalize, oh, I'm just getting old.

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.559
This is why I feel so fatigued.

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.600
This is why uh I'm like this, and and it's just the way I need to live.

00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:32.159
No.

00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:36.639
I have a 97-year-old grandfather that I just visited last week.

00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.759
And no, that's not how you age.

00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.360
He was dancing, you know, three, four days a week.

00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.320
He has a bowling league, he has a girlfriend.

00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:54.399
I mean, he's and he's lived a life of balance, never no, you know, off black or white.

00:09:54.720 --> 00:10:03.840
And that's why in my book, here I'll show you for everyone that is watching, and my book cover, so the Get God Connection.

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:18.399
I really felt if you look at the cover, I am in front of the cover, and there is an Amazon, a forest in the background, an Amazon, because I believe an Amazon has a perfect amount of flora.

00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:24.320
There's fungi, there's bacteria, there's viruses, but it they're all in harmony.

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:30.879
And when there is a disharmony in an Amazon, things start to die.

00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:40.000
Things start to be uh a virus take over and infections, and so we are the same.

00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:45.919
We're constantly being asked to come back into harmony when we're off balance.

00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:53.200
Think of balance as blending in family time, career time, your me time.

00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:59.519
You're constantly, it's trust me, I understand it is very hard to always be in balance.

00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:18.240
But God is always asking you to come back into harmony and also let the higher power, God, Jesus, whatever word you connect with, because it's not something outside of you.

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.600
I'm calling you back in to connect with you, within you, the light within you.

00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:29.679
Always ask, let it be that guide, not your best friend, not your mother.

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:39.120
Let God be your guide for your life in how fulfilling and vitality for each step.

00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:44.320
So the book cover, I also have there is very faint.

00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:45.840
Have a zebra.

00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:51.039
And a lot of people ask, well, why do you have a zebra on your book cover?

00:11:51.600 --> 00:12:03.279
Because as I was praying for what I'm gonna write for this book, and I was uh about to go write it on this beautiful island in the BVI at Ariel Island.

00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:21.440
And I was gonna be part of a documentary TV series that'll be out soon called Writer's Island, because we are showcasing how we pray these words, how we write these, we divinely write these books in five days.

00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:25.759
So I'm so excited to share this documentary with you all.

00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:32.720
Leading up for me to go there, I have this vision, this great big head of a zebra.

00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:36.480
And I was like, oh, oh, I've never dreamt of a zebra before.

00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:38.480
And what's what's the meaning?

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.120
Why am I being sent this vision?

00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:53.519
And when I looked up the meaning of a zebra, their black and white stripes, is that life is not ever black and white.

00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.879
It's all about finding harmony.

00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.159
There's never, oh, this is bad and this is good.

00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:04.480
This is the perfect diet, and uh not that one.

00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:09.840
Uh and this, so uh parasites are bad.

00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.039
It no, we need a balance of it all.

00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:26.960
And that's why it really the zebras signifying constantly coming back to myself, finding harmony throughout my life, letting be that Jesus is my higher power.

00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.679
That's truly what I I believe.

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:45.200
And so I do feel that if our nervous system is in fight and flight, and I feel like our society has built us to normalize that, just the go, go, go.

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:51.200
And if we're very productive, this is where our identity is.

00:13:51.360 --> 00:14:03.279
So for us to slow down is a practice, and it's very hard to teach, to reteach ourselves old patterns, old things that we've been taught from a very young age.

00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:18.000
So I find that the more we come to self-realization, to really learn ourselves, like think of it like go to university to learn who you are, all of you, your patterns.

00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.000
Start journaling.

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.840
Start observing your thoughts.

00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.559
Because here's what I've also learned.

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:34.720
A lot of people are like, well, which one, how do you know which one is your intuition and which one is the, I call it the ego talking.

00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:39.279
Well, when God is speaking to you, they're actually quiet whispers.

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.480
It's not loud, they're little nudges.

00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:44.799
You know what's louder?

00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.320
Is the ego.

00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:52.240
And I know Wayne Dyer in one of his books, he said, ego is edging God out.

00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:58.240
And that always stuck with me, stuck with me because I'm like, oh my gosh, that's so true.

00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.919
And I still deal with this and I will deal with it forever.

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:02.720
But guess what?

00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:24.080
Now I'm able to recognize it when those thoughts are so loud, so loud to where I'm like, oh, about I'm not good enough, I can't do this, or or I can't trust this person, and and whatever old patterns that we have to really work hard to shift.

00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:29.919
It takes mind practices, daily mind practices.

00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:52.480
So this is where the gut God blueprint will have daily practices of breath work, affirmations where I truly believe that affirmations are so, so powerful because the words hold power and the way we speak speak to each cells of our bodies.

00:15:53.039 --> 00:16:03.919
And so if we practice these affirmations on a daily basis, we can help calm our nervous system where we feel safe.

00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:11.039
And for us, this will take it could be years of practice where you finally feel at peace.

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:21.440
And because when you're in fight and flight, when it's been like that for so long, I remember for me, it hits the gut, and you really can't digest any food.

00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:32.720
You start having all these new allergies where I can't eat gluten, I can only eat, uh, drink bone broth and crackers and all the basics.

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:38.720
Now, that was the extreme of a nervous system that is in fight and flight.

00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:49.759
So I'm not wanting you to get to that point where your body is speaking really loud, where it's gonna be a lot of work and repair.

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:59.440
And there are tools for repair, some longevity, some peptides, and I love the hyperbaric oxygen chambers.

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:04.160
Yeah, there's all these tools, but the ones that I'm giving you are are free.

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:33.759
Once you learn them, your breath is free, your words, speaking affirmations, this light stillness and meditation and gratitude, those are the foundational tools that could really help integrate these health habits and these awareness of these toxins that could really sway you from listening to your body and your intuition.

00:17:34.000 --> 00:18:06.000
So this is kind of the core as to what is the gut-god connection and what I'm trying to put out into the world, because I think more than ever we need to really come back to connecting with our soul, connecting with the light, connecting with the higher power to lead us and become aware of the truths out there, our own personal truth, and learn how to heal.

00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.680
Your body will start to speak what it needs.

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:11.039
It literally does.

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:16.160
I've had, I'll wake up some mornings like, oh, this is the supplement you need.

00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:21.279
And I find that so fascinating that my body speaks, it will tell me.

00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:46.799
So these this is what I'd want to teach even young kids to start young, to start noticing how their body feels after they eat tons of sugar, uh, tons of dyes and certain oils that may make them feel like they can't control their emotions, or they can't sleep, or they're feeling wired, or they're feeling off.

00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:56.240
And so this is so important, even from a young age, but it all starts with you as the parent to integrate this for your family.

00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.880
And sometimes you might feel like you're the only one doing this.

00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:11.440
But if you're the only one in the family and they start seeing you feeling vibrant and glowing and happy, they're gonna want that too.

00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:13.279
They'll be like, what are you doing?

00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:14.880
What are you doing differently?

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:23.440
And you're gonna inspire somebody else in the family, or you're gonna inspire another friend, and it will have a ripple effect.

00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:28.319
So this is what I'm so passionate in sharing.

00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:33.920
And now I'd love to share a few passages from my book.

00:19:34.079 --> 00:20:02.799
Uh, just some glimpse of like what I go deep into, but also each chapter, I make sure your nervous system is not getting overwhelmed while you're reading this with prayers and affirmation and the gut-guck blueprint will also help you with some journal prompts and daily just kind of check-ins with yourself and start to doc to observe self-reflections and learn who you are.

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:15.599
Because I think that is truly the biggest gift is to learn who we are to the core and with love, with grace, with compassion, and most of all, patience.

00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:21.920
Because we're gonna have ebbs and flows of going back into our old patterns.

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.960
And sometimes we're like, oh, why did I do that?

00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:36.160
Why did I uh eat that whole bowl of chips or ice cream or whatever, went out for a big night of drinking, and then you feel so much shame.

00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:41.279
So I want to remove all that because that's all part of the human experience.

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:48.559
We're gonna have ebbs and flows, but I want to teach you to always come back to center in how to do that.

00:20:48.799 --> 00:21:02.400
And it'll become easier and easier as you integrate it, as you implement these tools that we were really never taught from boundaries to us being parents.

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:12.319
So you're thrown into it the first day you bring your baby, and you're like, okay, uh, I was never really taught how to be a mom or a dad, and you're doing your best along the way.

00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:16.559
And give yourself grace for what you didn't know then.

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:18.559
I think that's really important.

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:19.920
What we do.

00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:22.319
So I'm gonna read a few things here.

00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:26.960
I want to read you a portion of my book.

00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.480
There are certain dates your body never forgets.

00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:40.480
You will always remember the day you were born, and you will always remember the day your loved ones take their last breath.

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.480
Our bodies remember.

00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:48.400
Every cell holds memory, every emotion leaves an imprint.

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:53.599
Grief is not just something we think about, it lives in the body.

00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.839
It moves through the nervous system, it rises in waves.

00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:59.519
I remember these waves.

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:07.200
Of emotions that I would go through, my kids would go through, and it could just come at any time.

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:13.519
Especially when the time circles back to those sacred moments.

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.039
Healing does not come from suppressing grief.

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:22.319
Healing comes from allowing it to move through you, to feel it, to honor it.

00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.880
Because in that space, you're not broken.

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:28.559
You are becoming.

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.640
Now take a deep breath with me.

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.599
Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly.

00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.240
I want you to close your eyes if you can.

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:47.680
We're gonna do a slow inhale through the nose.

00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.799
And a slow exhale through the nose.

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.119
We're gonna do that again.

00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.799
A slow inhale through the nose.

00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.559
And a longer exhale through the nose.

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:16.960
Just in those few breaths, we change the physiology of our body.

00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:22.079
We connect to our vagus nerve and tell it it is safe.

00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.880
Now with me say I am safe.

00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:29.680
I am safe.

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:32.720
I am loved.

00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:35.759
I am loved.

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:38.319
I am enough.

00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:40.880
I am enough.

00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:45.680
I am guided.

00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:48.480
I am protected.

00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:55.759
Now just those I am hold so much power.

00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:02.720
And integrating these can and believing them.

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:07.519
Because it might take a little while when you're looking yourself in the mirror and say, I am beautiful.

00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.200
It might seem a little strange, or I am loved.

00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:17.839
But the more you do it, the more you're gonna feel comfort in it, and the more you're gonna believe it.

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:33.519
And the more I teach you just how to breathe, just how to really pause and really fill each cavity and connect with the heart and the belly, because I do feel the gut is your second brain.

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:42.880
There's plenty of books out there now explaining the gut brain connection, but is also where your messengers are.

00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:47.119
You're often, this is where you want it to be so clear.

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:56.559
And more than you remove some toxins and it allows you to hear these quiet whispers and truly connect.

00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:06.960
So when you place a hand on your heart and a hand on your belly, you're kind of really connecting there and speaking to your body and showing that it's safe.

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.319
It's safe to be loved, it's safe to be heard.

00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:21.440
And then it'll be much easier to integrate all this information with about health, about health, and then you can implement them.

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:30.000
Because I know sometimes I can overwhelm people with information and wisdom that I've learned over the years.

00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:37.119
So I found how it is most important that I work on nervous system regulation.

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:43.759
And I know for me, breath work has been the easiest tool that I can bring everywhere with me.

00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:57.279
So incorporating that affirmations and meditations, this could be vital for longevity and to rewire your nervous system to feel safe.

00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:18.640
And uh so this is where I truly feel that if you're you're ready to truly learn what is your body speaking to you, because I'm pretty sure there's there are things that it's trying to explain to you, and you are seeking outside yourselves for an answer.

00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:45.200
I'm I'm going to ask you to actually come more inwards in silence and learn yourself what these messages are coming back within you, because God is within you and He's speaking, and He's telling you to look deeper and closer.

00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.880
So I just want to honor you for listening today.

00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:56.079
If that really resonated with you, I'd love for you to share, write me a message.

00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:03.039
Uh you can buy my book, The Gut Gog Connection or The Truth Behind the Smiles on Amazon.

00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:05.440
And I'll have the links in the show notes.

00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:09.119
I also have it on my Instagram in the bio.

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:13.119
My Instagram is at Melissa underscore gratitude.

00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:16.880
My website is melissamethfin.com.

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.359
Or you I also have the get God.com.

00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:22.799
And stay tuned.

00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.319
You can join the wait list as well for the GutGod blueprint.

00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:28.720
This is something God has shown me.

00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:38.559
I've kept on asking what is his blueprint to help people come back to his guidance instead of giving power to everybody else around.

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.599
And I'm just really excited and to share.

00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:47.039
And I always love to hear how this resonated with you, how my book spoke to you.

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:53.839
Because I know with just the truth behind the smiles, I've noticed it it really ignites something in people.

00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:58.960
It's like they allow them to start seeing a truth that they were just kind of suppressing.

00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.640
And suppress suppression is the silent killer.

00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.559
And I love what these books are doing.

00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:18.000
It's just allowing you to remove the veil and start living in alignment of connection and vitality and love.

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:22.799
So I just want to say thank you once again for joining me today.

00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.240
And stay tuned for more excellent guests.

00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.160
Every guest is almost like God plants for me.

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:34.079
I people often ask, how do I find guests?

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.359
And it's just they come to me.

00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.599
God sends them to me because their stories matter.

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:43.680
Their stories need to be heard.

00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:58.000
And I also have the top experts in their field to really blend faith, science, and how powerful our thoughts can be and overall health.

00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:59.680
So thank you very much.

00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:02.880
And remember, you're never truly alone.
