On today's episode, I get the pleasure of talking with Michelle Robin, who recently celebrated her 20 fifth anniversary of a process. Michelle has been steep in healing work and wellness for decades. She owns an integrative healing center in Kansas city. She's a dedicated chiropractor actor, author, speaker, podcast host, truly dedicating her life to healing others. Her overarching belief in her work and her practices, doctor is that you will never heal your
body until you heal your heart. She speaks to the power of being honest with ourselves and once we reveal the womb we can heal them. Hope you enjoy today's episode in hearing how the process continues to unfold in her life, all these years later. Welcome to Loves everyday radius. A podcast brought to you by the Hoffman Institute. My name is Liz Sever and on this podcast. We engage in conversation and learn from Hoffman Graduates.
Will dive deep into their journeys of self discovery and explore how the process transformed their internal and external worlds. They share how their spirit and light now burn brighter in all directions of their lives. Their loves, everyday radius. I am very excited to be talking with Michelle Robin today. Hi Liz. Excited to be joining you on your show today and sharing about hope and healing.
Yeah. So Michelle, I'm... You are very near and dear to the Hoffman community and world for more reasons than than I can even name here, but I'd love if you would introduce yourself to the listeners and and tell us a little bit about what you do in the world and who you are. Well, liz, I'm I'm a chiropractor by training. I'm a human being. I'm a I'm a dog mom, I'm a partner. I'm a community advocate, but my biggest thing that I love sharing is is well being.
And for me, well being is based on the quadrant of well being, my teacher, doctor. Yen help bring to America. And so I like to think about it from whole person health. 4 different areas mechanical, chemical, energetic and psycho spiritual. So it's a perfect fit for the reasons and the why I love the Hoffman Institute. From what I know, you are celebrating a very big anniversary in the Hoffman world. Is that correct? Yeah. 25 years. Where did the time go? I that makes me so excited. I cannot
up believe that. So 25 years since you did the process. Yeah. You know, I did a process in October of 19 97. I was 6 years into practice. Had a phenomenal practice to be totally transparent from outside world, everything was rocking. You know, had the started to build a a reputation around Kansas community. I moved a lot as a kid, so calling Kansas city Home has been a big deal and staying put in 1 area for as long as I have been has been a huge deal.
And, all of a sudden, I found myself successful on the outside and thinking gosh now that I have some money and I have some, I'm an air quote, prestige that I was walking around debt. And I started to realize that I was also serving a lot of people that were walking around debt And lucky for me, I called my minister. I been on in August of 19 97 driving home. Her name was Mary Wake. And, Mary said, I totally get it. You have no joy. You give your joy to everyone else. I was like, whoa,
that's big. And she said, you, I'd highly recommend you go to the Hoffman process. And that was in August. I made my way there in October to continue to try to sabotage my life. Much as I could in those 8 weeks. So I'm glad that we, have a process that happens about every week? Because sometimes it's like, holy moly. How much damage can you do it 8 weeks of your life as So, yeah. October of 19 97 will forever be embedded in my heart as a very special moment of of awakening.
And so that was... Back in, Were you... Were you at the Napa site, the white silver spring site? I was at the white silver spring site. U. Yeah. People do try to cram in some some big life events in the weeks coming to Hoffman. But what do you think as you reflect on 25 years, what's been 1 of 1 of the things that sticks with you the most about your time. Well, 1 thing, I would say, probably that I had an aha just that
I wasn't broken. And I believe that that moment, when you realize you're not broken, you just have bumps in the road, you're able to really... Heal at another level. Sometimes when you feel like you are a kind of hopeless and that there's no way out. And despite the the trauma and drama of my life up into that time, and I've had drama trauma than too, by the way. But, at that point, I think the biggest aha is that I I was not
broken. I also had an an aha really afterwards, I think you're so much into this healing time that the all come and keep coming days, weeks, years later when you can reflect on that beautiful experience. But I think for me probably that there was hope that I was gonna be able to heal and not be living with the dark cloud that I was never gonna be enough in my life. Was there a particular time in the process that this insight came to due? Oh, and Liz you really tap my 25 your memory here?
I say sitting in the silence and and Writing to yourself and and really connecting to your your guides, part of it. I would also say that just sitting in that room, having a cath experience in observation mode. Like, I can go into an observation mode and you're probably not supposed to do that as a participant. But, you know, when you slip in and out of your patterns and realizing... Sometimes that despite how I thought had seen my life.
There's people that have it better, and there's people that have it worse. And so I think sitting sitting in the big circle Was it all aha for me as I reflect back and pull into the memories of my time actually on sight. You know, I still have a little bit of connection of 1 of my fellow students. That's meaningful. Well, and I just appreciate the...
Be honest, that I'm not broken. There is a a poster in the room, and I'm sure it was there back then to or at least the sentiment of I am not my patterns. And I have found over the years just how freeing that reframe is. Right? That we are not an endless. Fix it project. There's nothing broken, but it is this journey inward, and we all took on patterns to survive. And so I... I just appreciate you
you'd being honest about that. Well, you know, the 1 thing that hoffman process does is helps you get a little bit more honest with yourself about what's tripping you up and keeping you from being your best self. And, you know, 1 of the things I love is there's a there's a gap from self love, where you're at and self love and its self care, and the hoffman is 1 of the greatest gifts I've ever given myself. Yeah. Absolutely.
Well, and I... You were very near and dear as I was saying earlier to the Hoffman world because your partner is also is a Hoffman teacher. Yeah. You know, Crystal is is a hoffman, teacher educator and when I
send her out, I'm like, okay. Go say some souls because I feel like that that the process it really not like, reconnect me to my soul, but it also just really innocent save me, You know, I believe as you as you get wiser and you have more years behind you and more moments behind you, there's a lot of defining moments in our life and hoffman processes. Is 1 of those. So I feel very fortunate that I live with somebody who gets a chance to go and serve at that level. And I really do believe
that that's part of her path. And if I'm to get play a part of that by introducing her to the process, then Me but yay, the holy spirit for the guidance that we get. We've sent so many people. Not... We've sent tons of people. We tell everybody we can't about the hoffman process. I I give out the pathway to personal love in freedom, probably every day in my life, my professional life, and I... I have it pulled up in 1 of my browsers. I send it to people. I said it The video to somebody. She
said, I'm not a really a good. I'm like wait a minute They have a video. And so I sent the video. So, yeah, Hoffman is in our life every day. And so way, you you introduced Crystal to the process. Is that what I heard? I did. I did. We met years ago when I first moved to Kansas City to go to Chiropractic school and when she was AAA coach, and I was referee to help pay for my expenses when I was in
school. And we met then and really didn't, you know, just had a friendly exchange in in years later, after I done the process, and I did like I did 97, we reconnected in 98 at a at gathering, and we both had gone through some shifts in our life and Voila, I was I always say it's been hard to shake her sense. But as we started to go into a relationship I said the only way that I will even consider staying in this is if you
agree to go the behalf process. When you're newly seeing somebody, it's kind of like I'll play your Reindeer games. And so, you know, being a school counselor at the time, It was like, oh, why? I'll go to nap for a week and drinks some line and I sure they can learn something that will help me in my in my own professional journey, and she had a little bit of surprise. There was no wine, maybe before and after, but non daring, And so, yeah, she did the process in 99
actually. So... Yes. I always say... You know, I I always rest my friend Sonia. Too. I said Tony, I even did the process before you. And so we just kinda all laugh about it. I hear this question a lot. How do I tell people about the process? And I know in your practice it is something that you said you're handing out the booklet you're talking about. Is it
something you openly talk about to people? Or is there sort of a and in that you see with people and you think, I need to tell them about the process. Gosh is such a beautiful question. You know, I believe that if you're paying attention and and a lot of us, you know, are have a lot of noise in our head, especially we are dealing with our patterns, you'll start to see that opening, 1 of the things I'll stated because I actually get a see people in pain. Right?
They're come to me, and yes, I'm a chiropractor, but I was saying in the top 5 things I see is anxiety. And I see depression and I see that loss look in their eyes of no hope or a very little hope. There hanging hanging on by a string. And I I write people wellness plans. They come to me and
they say, okay. You know what? I I'm watching you, you know, pushing closer to 60 than 50, and I watch how you are, you know, play pickle ball, and you're living your best life and you're you're managing your weight and and you're managing your skin and and you don't take any drugs and tell me what you're doing in I really believe that because I did the process and started really healing my heart, 1 of my favorite sayings is is you will never heal your
body until you heal your heart. Based on our model, the quad of well being, it it really lays it open for me I'm pretty darn lucky that it's easy for me to share. So I I do wanna talk about people out that that that don't have it quite as easy as I do. So when I write them a wellness plan, it
give them mechanical tips. Of course, you know, quit sleeping on your stomach or do this neck exercise or do the small angels, so you don't get the old lady hunch and chemistry wise hydrate before you because half, eat more real food than than processed food. And 1 of my favorites right now is, you know, eating some veggies before you eat anything to kinda help stabilize your blood sugar, half And and then I talk about the energy.
And like I said, my early and when we introduced me, my come mentor doctor Richard Denny, he, helped bring. To America to all of all places in Kansas City. And, I really remember sitting in class with him list. So just when I look back on this journey, you just can't make it up. Right? I'm in glass with him in the in the late eighties and, learning ac, and he holds up manila folder that has mechanical chemical energetic psycho spiritual.
My undergrad and business. I saw operations marketing finance and leadership, I do wanna commend the hoffman process. It is, I I also... As I was observing, I 1 of my key takeaways is how beautiful it is. That you guys open people
up a little bit like a flower. And then you close them a little bit, the open, you close and open you close and open you close And as you walk out you're just a beautiful rose, that's fully bloom, but you'll also know you can kinda constrict if you need to because you have to when you walk out of there, it back into the air quote real world. So going back to the window for me is pretty easy because then I we talk about some things they could do energetically, and
then we talk about psycho spiritual. I'll say, know I'm gonna tell you all these. And the thing is health and well being is not rocket science. It's not this big gap for people except they don't really value themselves. And when you don't have self love or self... Care, you can't live the life that you're designed to live. And so the table is set for me to offer it pretty easily, But for people out in the community, I'd love to hear what they're doing. But I think when you're a bright light,
people want what you got. And I just try to walk out of my house. And I miss the mark every single day. But I don't miss it all anymore. I have more of my takeaways after the process than during. That's this the that's just opening up this beautiful package and the gifts keep on coming. And probably 1 of my biggest gifts is just realizing.
That I've got to pour into myself. And I wanna walk out of my home, like I said, being that light, and, I used to have bad days where I would I would chew on something for days and almost weeks at a time. And then I'll send us like Michelle, that's a moment in time. It's not the whole day. It's not even the whole hour. It is a moment in time. So my table is set pretty easy for me to share it liz. We are grateful for for you being that bright light out in the world.
But I'm interested what got you into Chiropractic? It seems to be a large, you know, part of your life. Yes. It's it's a big part of my life, and, you know, people always say, to me Michelle, you're 1 of those new age chiropractors, and I would tell you that I'm kind of more old style. So I'll give you... I'm gonna give you just a little bit of chiropractic history before I tell you what got being chiropractic because
it it'll make much more sense. And, you know, back in the late eighties when, like, late 18 hunters when Chiropractic started, It was really an inside out job. And and we talk about people are sick for 3 reasons as we call the 3 t's, thoughts traumas and toxins. And so that's kind of embedded into my soul, but at the age of 15, I got hurt playing basketball. And my mother took me to the hospital from a small town, about 10000 people, nothing was broken in this chicken me the chiropractor.
And Always say thank God the shaking the chiropractor. Liz, I remember 0 about the chiropractic part of that experience about the... This final adjustment. But I remember how they started pouring hope to me. And at that time, you know I was I was 15, my mother had just gone through her third divorce, and, you know, had had suffered, like, a lot of people some sexual violence, poverty and, really didn't think I mattered. And, when I look back, I think I was just
kinda going through the motions. But the chiropractor, they knew my family story because I thought their kids bowling lessons. And so they really just... They're wrapped their soul around me, and they wrapped their heart around me. And I was actually became 1 of their kids, and I ended up working for them, And I fell in love with watching people walk out. They walk in barely and they walk out feeling better. And and at that time, I really thought it was about the the chiropractic.
Experience. But as I have evolved through this journey, it really was about the heart, and I matter to them, p Yeah. So I I just became part of their family and they just started pouring so much love to me, and it's emotional now to talk about it. To be this young 15, 16 year old, and they started making me believe I matter, and I have a a sign on my desk as you matter
because everybody matters in chiropractic school. I got a chance to go to a seminar and 1 of my mentors through that seminar, doctor. Jack Si, said everybody has on their forehead 4 letters. M mfa, make me feel important. And the problem is is people can't make you feel important on the outside unless you start to feel important to yourself. Even though they started pouring that into me it took me It took the process really to help
me go to the next level. So I said there's been moments in my life that have been life changing in life giving. 1 of the many moments was meeting doctor John and Carroll Lake and them kind of wrapping their arms around me. And then, of course, Doctor. Yan, who talked about the Quadrant. And then big deal with Mary Way, who led me to the hoffman process. When I wanna back up a little bit, is that was so many things right there that I I think
are so powerful and important. And going back in time to 15 year old you, and finally, feeling like someone was loving you and making you feel like you mattered. What do you think it was that made you start to feel that. Wasn't their love. Like, what were the aspects of that time? They started coming on my basketball games. And my mother never came to my basketball games, and I believe 2 fold 1. She probably thought I didn't want her to come because My was probably angry with her and told
her not to come. So I'm gonna own that. She also had her own full life of what she was doing. Their kids were everything to them and sometimes maybe even so much that... You know, I can go to the other side. I was swinging the other side of parent that was more and being out, you know, playing bridge and Bullying and doing their their life and being apparent, and then these guys were all
in. And so I've definitely learned a lot about all or nothing, time at that moment, showing up, 1 of my big lessons, I I kind of have coined the thing about Lt r's. If you're in my life, most likely, you'll be in my life, some level forever, as long as it's at relatively a life giving relationship, and I call it Lt lifetime relationship. And they taught me about showing up. I believe that's 1 thing that the process
does for you 1... You start to unpack and open this beautiful flower that you are, you start to show up for yourself. You've got to do that before you could do that for other people really fish at in my opinion. And then you get a chance to be a go give. They were go givers of my life. I remember when I graduated high school they gave me, They've been in Japan at and they brought me back this beautiful Nikon camera. Now that I know the cost
of things on my Holy Moly. They invested a time, money, love, they would feed me, all kinds of things like that. And so they were really go givers in my life. And they really taught me a lot about that, and then they celebrated. They celebrated who I was and and how I showed up, and then they they spent that 1 on 1 time. So for me, that's probably what made a life giving moment. I love thinking about life giving
relationships and life giving moments because it's... It can be hard to even understand What is that? How do I foster those relationships? What in your words the... Across your forehead MMI? Like, what does make me feel important. And so being able to whittle that down to time and love and just these moments make it, seems so achievable. Right? To share in that with other people but also recognize the simplicity of connection and love. You know, I'm glad
you use the word simple. 1 of my other favorite quotes is life is really simple. We just stop making it complicated. That's my confucius. And that's what the process does. It helps you kind of, realize that it's really pretty darn simple. You know, when you catch yourself in a in a moment that you're not being your best self look at it. Okay. Why am I not being my best self? Why am I being jealous or or judgmental or obsessive compulsive, and go... Is that truly how I wanna
show up. I remember at moment when I got home from the process. Probably in the summer. So it would have been spring summertime. So I went in October. So it gives you 6 or 8 months. Live in the country. And I was blowing off the leaves off my driveway, being a little Ocd about it, liz, going back and getting that 1 that would fall down, you know? And I started chuck. I And I thought, oh my gosh, this is a perfect pattern or example of a pattern right now. It doesn't have to be perfect. You live
in the country. So that was 1 of those life giving moments that you're able to shift pretty quick because of the simplicity of the the words and the and the moments that you have at the process that opens up that beautiful flower. I'm laughing because I just sent hours yesterday, raking leave. It was struck by a very simple luck that and of why won't these leaves go
away. Like, every time the wind blows more just kept falling, and I had to do a very similar thing, just walk away and say, I did the best I could with getting all these leaves in this time for I'm done. And is it really gonna change my life that there's 2 or 3 leaves that are gonna be on the driveway? No. Right. There's more than 2 or 3 left online, but it is... It's not. I'm just hoping for a bigger storm to go take them away.
But 1 thing that I I'm always fascinated by, with body workers and just in this wellness. World is the the saying what the mind rep the body expresses. And I'm curious to hear what correlation over the years you've noticed between, you know, body, emotions, trauma, you name it, but what you've noticed with your own with your own work. As a chiropractor, we're taught to use our hands and sen digitize our hands. 1 way we learn how to pal paint, is we pal hairs through foam pages. And that helps
sen our fingertips. And so we've always say to me, how do you go right to the spot? It's almost like there's a laser. And you feel the shift in energy. And so I remember this young person that came in to see me 28 years old at the time taking about 30 pills a day for Crohn's disease. They came for low back pain by the way. That's when people at that time we're were coming to see me mostly for pain. And I touched her low back and I was like, holy moly. There was so much rage
And I said, wow. You get some anger going on in your life? They said yes, and they almost never came back by the way. So do you know what? Let let me think about what I would recommend for you and and comes to me tomorrow and I'll write it it's my ideas. And they said, oh, my gosh. What a quack and, left. And almost never came back. In the next day, they came back. I'm not quite sure possibly the spirit, possibly you couldn't get into another chiropractor, whatever
the reason. And so they came in, and, I said, you know, here's what your body was telling me, told me that your your body's toxic. I think you're probably eating some foods that aren't supporting you. When I touch your, your low back, I just feel all this rage, and I'm not sure. What's going on in your life that you have a lot of rage about. Yes and the x rays show that you have some, what we treat are called sub,
as well as some posture issues... I'm seeing all that, plus, you know, you're about 75 pounds You've forgot some extra weight you're carrying. And I said a lot of times for me that extra weight on the outside is all the weight you're carrying on the inside. And for whatever reason, They said, yes, and they stuck around. And they were not living their dream. They were working for some family members, and they weren't happy doing it because they had so smart
but they kept... They could go to college to... Being in healthcare than they would quit and kind of fall back on some old patterns for whatever reason, Like I said, they just... There was just the the trust and time and they were ready. They started listening. And they also did the process in in October. Have celebrated doing the process. A dozen years, I believe and just actually did the refresh.
They are now no medications living their health care dream in a relationship that they feel valued and seen and still bumping up. You here's a deal tonight about. You're not 1 and done. The hoffman process will help you clear out a lot of clog in the drain. So you're gonna still get some minor clog in there because of maybe all the hair or not being cleared out. They have just shifted their life and they will say it to me every time I see them
that changed my life. And that was within day 1 and August to 60 days later that they signed up to go to the process. And I believe it's because I just cared about them, I witnessed them. I lived the life, You know, I'm not the 5 letter f for. Do you know the 5 letter left f is? Prod. I don't wanna be that person, and I wanna be honest with my struggles. I wanna be honest. I'm gonna eat french fries, I'm gonna have chocolate, and I'm gonna have alcohol.
I'm not gonna do it very often because I know what it does to my body because I'm listening in the Hoffman process teaches you how to listen, but to the noise or the inner voice, that's also your cheerleader and not just the critic. So would you say the the first step to starting to heal your heart, But also, when it when it comes down to what the mind is refreshing the body is gonna express is to just make yourself feel heard and seen. You matter?
Yeah. You matter. I think I reveal it to heal it. And so you've gotta be able to start to open up that can and start to pull out some of the worms in that can that are... Keeping you from being the person that that we were designed to be. So, yeah, I I totally agree with what you're saying. I have like said, the words I use, but you gotta you gotta reveal it to heal it, and the body does keep a score. We know that. And so part of listening to your body is going
gosh. You know what I am feeling that. Why am I feeling in that there? Typically, In my business, pain doesn't typically start the moment you have it it's been creeping up unless you had... Be unless you have a significant trauma like an action or something like that. It's been kind of building up, and we kinda just close our eyes and close our ears and don't listen to it, thinking it's gonna go away, and it just kinda
gets louder and louder and louder. And next thing you know you're on your knees. And so, yes, you gotta reveal it to healing it. And are there any small ways that you recommend to move some of this energy through our body. Well, you know, we have a whole teaching platform podcast and books and everything on the Cub called small change is big shifts I don't think you can dive right in. People have got to build some trust because there's such a lack of trust amongst humanity
right now. I think the first thing you do is just sit with people and witness them and give them tiny ideas. You know what? Have you thought about hydrating have you thought about, you do maybe a minute of exercise every hour because motion will help move it through, but you just can't go right in for the heart. Because people have got it chained up. You guys know that from doing the work you
do. So I just... It's just the slow steps, do the little things the small changes that will make huge shifts, and we I approach that from the quadrant. So even approach so much that we've created a 52 well being snack deck. So it's snacks for your well being based on the quadrant. So there's 13 per mechanical, 13 for chemical, 13 for identical 13 through cy spiritual. And we just teach people little things. You know, for cycle spirits, we talk about gratitude.
We talk about making a morning routine. Or an evening routine or maybe energy taken a hot bath or doing some breath work and chemistry the chemical we've talked about you know, hydrate before you decaf, more real food than processed food? Gosh, you need some vitamin D? Do you need to quit eating 3 hours before bed? And, of course, mechanical as motion is lotion, whether it's seeing your chiropractor or your massage therapist. I believe that most people don't value their self care.
Financially or time wise. I say, list, my number once spend, every month is my is my well being. Every month. So the floor quadrant chemical, mechanical, energetic and spiritual. Is there any correlation that you see between those and the floor with the quad that we learn often. You know, I've not studied enough. I'm I'm sure there's some connection. I would really... That's a great thing to for me to sit in process with Crystal.
We've not... We've never done that by the way, how they all sit with the quadrant... There's some crossover for sure and just like everything overlaps without a doubt it's it's not just an mechanics or not just the mind. It's already to the hard and you got the body listening in and you got the soul. So I'm sure there's some way it connects. Yeah. Absolutely. And for energetic, what are some tips for or how would we access that Quadrant? Well, from a Chinese medicine perspective, you
can look at your chi? If you wanted to have an outside practice... To sure, I think in my life is is a must to try to keep that energy flowing. We all... You know, we get our achieve from 3 sources. We get it originally, we get our lifestyle chi, that we get our soul she, and then we also get q from our parents. And the 1 that we could really affect is our lifestyle. And so that would
be how are you managing your devices? Like, I really don't like to sleep with a a device on my body or any earrings? Anything that has any type of polarity like, could be, you know, tapping into your breath. It could be a way to do it. It could be also maybe doing some chi gong or setting the fe shu your office or fe shu your desk.
Those are some examples. I love this idea of the quadrant because as I'm listening to this, it makes it really helps divide up these different aspects of our wellness. And so I I love that. And I appreciate those examples and little snippets or a reminder. The snacks. Yeah. That, you know, let me just tag on that just a little bit longer is when you think about anything in life is like a car, car has 4 wheels. You know? If you only have 3, it's it's it may drive, but it's not gonna drive
down the road very efficiently. And if we focus on the 4 different areas, whether it's the quad or the quadrant of well being. All of sudden we flow through life a little bit. You doesn't mean we're not gonna hit some bumps in the road, but it makes it a little bit more enjoyable. And I'm in this season in my life.
I just... I want to make the journey more enjoyable and by trying to continue to eliminate some of the noise in my head or my heart or in my body as it's as as it's aging, all said I'm able to enjoy the moments. So I have a sign that a friend gave me. Who's also done the process by the way. I just realized it makes me emotional How many people around me. Have done the process, and the community is really important, and that's what you guys are great about. And I thank God for this
moment. And I'm enjoying this moment. Reliving my experience and and then the gratitude of the gifts that I've received, not only from the process, but around the process in the community that, I've built around the process of people that are like minded and we're here trying to be better stewards of the energy and of the limited time that we've been given.
That makes me think of your original coming full circle, your original reason to go into the process was feeling like you had no joy and that you had given... You've give it away to other people how have you reclaimed your joy and brought that back into your life for you? I think honoring myself, honoring my spirit? I work at it every day. You know, I have a little kind of morning prayer ritual. I don't get it done every day. I give myself 8 days, b
days and cda days. And, unfortunately, I run a little bit too fast, like the average human being because I forget that I'm a spiritual being sometimes. But in those moments, when I'm able to just take a breath too and be grateful for, like, my pickle all friends that, you know, started turning Covid. What a get from Covid to have something that I actually love doing, it's a building community and it's to help me stay healthy.
From the moments of just take a breath and sometimes, I don't know, Liz, I'll be driving to my office, and I'll just kinda do a little check in. And I'll be like, you know what? You're really clear and you are really focused. Because... I don't know about you, but the day. You're not clear and focused or the moment you're not clear and focused. You really appreciate the ones you're clear and focused. I have so much clarity in majority of the time, probably 90 percent the time,
I feel dialed in. And there's the 10 of time that I'm not that just wreak havoc on my life that I'm continuing to try to, you know, minimize that, but I think that's part of this whole thing called life. I think once I... Get that down to a hundred percent. I will be, as I say, dancing in Heaven with the Holy spirit. Well, it reminds you just how important it is we spend a lot of time focusing perhaps on that 10 percent. How can I've done that better. How can I've done that differently.
But at time then, we skate over the 90 percent that we were dialed and that life was beautiful that we were experiencing joy. And so it is just this reminder to me to call that out more to spend time acknowledging the good. Yeah. 1 of my favorite questions and my clients will even actually come in. Sometimes you don't realize the impact you have. I'm extremely humbled when I say this, do not take it for granted 1 minute that God has put me in a position to give people wisdom. And
I don't take that lightly at all. But they'll say, I I was thinking, asked me the question. Asked me the question I was thinking. And I'll start giggling. I'm like, what question, tell me something that's working in your life. And so... Or they'll say, you know, remember when you told me that 20 years ago, like, I really don't remember. And so words really matter... And so 1 of my favorite questions is tell me what's something good that's happened today? Instead of saying, how are you? You know,
I just say, tell me something good. And they'll ask shall. I can't think of anything. And I'm like, you know, I'm gonna tell you what I observed with you coming in today. 1, I saw you walking on your own 2 feet. 2, I saw that your eyes are still working and that you're able to hear me and your hands are working. We take for granted this beautiful gift of life and this physical and chemical and energetic and psycho spirits body and as you said it, we focus on the 10 percent. And and I'm I'm
guilty. Guilty is charged in some moments. But their moments. They're not hours. They're not days. They're not weeks. And so for those of you that just have done the process, celebrate that. I can actually almost let go back to the moment now where I feel the dissonance. You know when you're rocking and rolling through life and and you're like, wow, this is really great And then all of a sudden and you hit a speed bump. And then you're stuck your thumb and you're
like, what happened. But I can go back, you know what at? 10:00 you were fine. Something changed at 10:20. What happened between 10:00 and 10:20 that flipped your switch into a pattern? Or into this negative Nancy. And so that's 1 of the gifts of the process. That's 1 of the many gifts has being able to say Michelle a moment. It's not your entire day. It's not your entire hour. I love that too. But once again, on,
right. I'm looking over it. You can't see my eyes, but I'm looking at it and thank God for this moment. And I'm grateful for this moment with you. I'm grateful for all the moments that I've had in my life because I said yes to myself and did the process. Thank you so much, And for today, Michelle. You are wise beyond the belief, and I have learned so much talking with you today and interested to just even continue to explore. Some of these aspects for myself on a deeper level.
And I just wanna say thank you. And I wanna give a shout out to the teacher's and all the workers that graciously take my phone calls or emails from I'm like, I got somebody that's they are just... They gotta get to the process sooner than later. I wanna give a shout out to your team. I know what it's like to give every single inch of your moment to somebody else, and I want you to know you matter. You're changing lives. You're you truly are saving souls. Literally when I send Crystal out the
door. I'm, like, Honey go safe some souls. Yes, It's a long 10 days. But I know that there's people out there that are going to get reconnected with their divine essence, and that ripple is gonna continue to ripple out to the world. And that's the work your team's doing at the Hoffman process. And I do not take it for granted and do not take it lightly. I hope that, you feel the love and you feel the
big hugs that I'm sending your way. For all the listeners who are saying gosh Michelle, how do I take my experience to the next level. It's all around you. Just open your eyes, continue to open your heart. You'll see some wisdom. Here's some wisdom that came to me, over the last couple years. If you want this to be your year, don't sit on the couch and wait for it, go out, make a change, smile more. Be excited. Do new things, throw away clutter.
That includes the clutter that you put in your body, the foods that don't serve you and you... Most of you know it what I know you do because I talked to you, people like you every day that say. I know that doesn't serve me. Un follow negative people on social media, go to bed early. Wake up early. Don't gossip. Show more gratitude.
Do things that challenge you and be brave, so to all my hoffman, fellow Hoffman at people, you're brave, you're brave than you know, take the next step, and you will not be disappointed. Beautiful.
