The girl is mine youtube video by Michael Jackson featuring Paul Mac Cartney: one of his greatest hit.
I just wish he was here to see this. #1 again. I still to this day love Michael Jackson as much as I did at the age of 9 when I was given Thriller. My first album. My greatest memories as a kid come from Michael: Taking over the kitchen to put on shows after we practiced our "How to Moonwalk like Michael Jackson" video.
My dad surprising us with Victory and BAD tour tickets, after waiting in line for 20 hours each time, because he knew history was in the making…and because it would mean the world to me. Michael Jackson's music and dancing were the soundtrack of my childhood and to this day I still do the moonwalk at the clubs. I have every album from the Jackson 5 era to Thriller 25th Anniversary.
I still have my programs, my Michael Jackson glove, my Michael Jackson hat, every article clipping, tapes of every video, performance, or news special. Unless you were around in the 80's you really have no true grasp of how huge and larger than life he really was. It was impossible not to be in awe of his talent and the way he changed music forever.
I was never a "fair" weather fan. I just wish the world did not treat him so wrong while he was here. You have to think growing up 100% in a fishbowl has to take its toll. You have to wonder why more people did not protect him. I could see that he was so sheltered that he could not see when a situation could lead to others taking advantage of him. I believe that given everything, Those are the people who need to look up to heaven and ask God and Michael for forgiveness for the pain and end to his life. (Media, Lawyers, Accusers, Users, etc etc). They need to look at the Man in The Mirror.
It is so hard to think that he is really gone. Just a few months ago I was giddy with excitement at the chance to try and see him in London. I would have slept in a box in Piccadilly Circus to get a chance to see him dance on stage the way no other person ever could or ever will.
Even now as I type this review of my experience more than just this piongant song I keep having a hard time grasping that it is real. Michael Jackson is gone. I know he is going to be in heaven singing with the angels and teaching them the moon walk….and I hope to see him someday.


I'd like to test this proposition. Assume a corporate generalist six years out of law school. If hired as a full-time lawyer, that lawyer costs the company approximately $150-$170 per hour fully-loaded (See my post of Oct.18, 2005 on calculating a fully-loaded cost per lawyer hour.) The lawyer with the same amount of experience who is at a regional law firm, one of say 20 to 50 lawyers not on the coasts, would cost the company $180-$220 per hour.
Am I right? Quite a range of choices and costs!

Danica Patrick's Health Journey: Hormones, Detox, and Breast Explants
"The Universe Has Been Blessing Me With a Lot of Information and Resources"
This episode is all about how we, as women, can create an incredible customized path for our own healthcare.
Danica Patrick is admired by millions as a trailblazer and especially as a role model for young people, women and men alike, aiming to rise to challenges and pursue their own passions.
As a serial entrepreneur, she has launched successful ventures from apparel to wine, including her American and French labels, Somnium, a collection of fine wines grown in California's Napa Valley, and Danica Rosé, an elegant bottling from the heart of the Provence region. Recently she debuted her new lifestyle brand VOYANT by Danica, a home scent collection utilizing the functional power of fragrance through essential oils and other natural ingredients.
Danica Patrick continues to prove her multimedia appeal: as a television sports analyst and commentator, as the author of the self-help book Pretty Intense, and as host of her weekly Pretty Intense podcast, interviewing top athletes and celebrities. From her racing days to the present, she remains a popular personality who's appeared in music videos and commercials, including a record-setting 14 Super Bowl commercials, and has lent her voice to videogames and cartoons such as "The Simpsons" and "South Park." Equally recognized as a savvy businesswoman as well as a pop culture icon, Danica has landed on numerous "Favorite Female Athlete" and "Most Powerful Women" lists, including Time's "100 Most Influential People."
Danica Patrick began her singular journey at a young age. As an IndyCar then NASCAR driver, she broke barriers and set records as a fierce competitor in the traditionally male-dominated world of motorsports before retiring in 2018. Danica garnered international acclaim by finishing fourth in her very first Indianapolis 500, going on to achieve another first as a female racer with her victory in the IndyCar Series Indy Japan 300 race.
Her unique experience, perspective, and charisma make Danica Patrick a coveted speaker for a breadth of corporate, lifestyle, entertainment, and sports-related events, from motivational engagements to entrepreneur gatherings.
In this podcast, Danica Patrick's Health Journey: Hormones, Detox, and Breast Explants, we cover:
How Danica Patrick's health journey led to breast implant removal
Why Danica feels sexier after getting her breast implants removed
The reasons getting breast implant removal can change your life
The Mind-Body Connection: women's intuition is a real thing
Daily gratitude can train your brain to be happier
Danica went to the doctor at the beginning of 2021 because she had lost her menstrual cycle. After getting her labs done, Danica discovered she had an underactive thyroid. Eventually, Danica saw a functional medical doctor and took a heavy metal test. The results showed that her mercury levels were through the roof. The threshold is 5, and Danica's mercury levels were 170. So, Danica did gut rehab, took supplements, and cut certain foods from her diet; unfortunately, no health interventions worked. Down the road, Danica decided to take her breast implants out because of all the stories from women on YouTube about their breast implant illnesses. After her surgery, Danica felt terrific; she had tons of energy and finally recovered from her health symptoms.
Danica got breast implants because she was super fit and lean but didn't have boobs. So, she thought breast implants would make her a complete woman. However, the breast implants made her feel somewhat insecure at times. Danica didn't want people to notice them, but she wanted to feel feminine and sexy. Yet, Danica knew that her boobs were fake; if anyone touched them, they would know they were fake. Ironically, when Danica got her breast implants out, she felt sexier. There is no longer anything to hide! Eventually, there will be a commodity for people who look like normal human beings and like themselves.
Getting Breast Implant Removal Can Change Your Life
The minute Danica removed her breast implants, her energy levels rose; she naturally had more energy. Plus, she has more energy throughout the month than when she had the implants. Danica's face shrunk a little bit. Lymph nodes went down immediately, and her face was no longer puffy. The oil in her skin and her scalp improved. Also, blood markers, hormone markets, endocrine system, and her thyroid all improved. In general, biological suppression was happening because of her breast implants. Sometimes we have to make tough decisions about toxin loads; it's not always going to be convenient. Getting your breast implants removed can be worth getting your health back.
Too much emotion isn't applauded. However, this is who we are when we return to the female structure. One sex hormone makes us feel incredible and give us the gift of gab. Another sex hormone makes us go inner and not want to talk to anyone. When we move into the patriarchal world, we get disconnected from the feminine vibe crucial for our well-being. As women, we need to get back to our intuition. Attunement to the self and feeling the emotions help you know if you're in the wrong job or the wrong type of relationship. Once we tune into our bodies, we can have discernment in all aspects of our life. When we have that intuition, we will know exactly what types of food to eat and when we should be fasting.
We have been through two years of hearing so many complaints; it's time to start focusing on what we are grateful for this year. When Danica goes to bed, she prays and talks about everything she is thankful for. She is most grateful for the fantastic people in her life. Her relationships with friends and family are the most amazing humans. Plus, Danicia says the universe is blessing her with a lot of information and resources. Right now, manifestations are happening a lot quicker. People are showing up because you are magnetizing them to you. When you vibe at a higher frequency, you can start to change the world. Life is all about polarity and duality.
Dr. Mindy
Let me just say welcome to the resetter podcast.
I love it. I love all your content. I can only hope that this helps some people as that is the mission.
Yes, totally 1,000%. So okay, here's where I'm going to start with. So I did a little research on you. So I decided to Google you yesterday and learn a little bit about your upbringing. And so my first question, I'm sure everybody asked you this is how the heck do you get into car racing? As a teenage girl? Like, can we just start there? How did that come about?
Yeah. Well, so my dad. So all the way back. My mom and dad met on a blind date at a snowmobile race, when they were like, around 20. So my dad was racing snowmobiles. And my mom was going to the track because she had a friend who was who loved going to the races. And so actually, that's who set them up on a blind date. Her name is Sue, which is why my middle name is Sue. So they went on the blind date hit it off, and I came along about 10 minutes later, and, and they got married had me. And so my dad kept racing. And he raced all the way until my sister was born, which was only two years after me. And so we were looking for something to do together as a family to spend time together. My dad worked a ton and my mom stayed home. And so naturally racing was an option. But really, it was somebody in our neighborhood that race, go karts. And that kid went to school, went to our school, and one of them was in my sister's grade. And so she's two years younger. And so we went and looked at the Go Karts went to the racetrack, we broke broke, my sister was the one who really wanted to do it. And I've realized in my older age now, not old, but older, that I'm really up for anything. Like I'm just kind of a sure. Yeah, I've, I've learned through some DNA testing that I have high dopamine receptors. So like, everything is fine for me. Like, let's do it. Yeah. So I said, Let's do it. And, and it turned out to be something that I was really good at. And I liked doing and I kept doing it, my sister quit and in the first year, and so my mom did it for a little while. And then, you know, that's just a contentious situation. And so, trying to race with my dad, my dad's super intense. And so then I kept going. And then when I was 16, I moved away to England. So I started when I was 10. And it was really just a way to spend time together as a family.
Okay, and at 16, you moved to England to race.
I did. Yeah, I lived there for three years.
So and so you dropped out of like school, or you did school in England, like
I only did school in England, I only did school in England for so I went there, and it was junior year, and it was the first semester of junior year, so I couldn't drop out of school yet. Or I didn't drop out of school yet. It was I was gone half of that first semester, like I was there for the first one, gone for two months, and then there for the last month. And then then I decided to go live in England full time. And so so then I did drop out of school after Christmas that year. And then I got my GED, my goodness diploma,
oh, you know what some of the most intelligent people that I've met doing podcasting are people that did not have traditional school backgrounds. is so interesting. And you know, I think so much of school just create this very linear thought pattern. And the minds that I have fallen in love with are the ones that are like, just see learning and life in every aspect of their day, not in a book or in a structured program like that. So I think I think it's amazing that you didn't go to traditional school.
Well, thanks for saying that. I mean, of course, I want my my doctor who's cutting me open to have gone to school. I probably my lawyer, it'd be great if my lawyer, you know, had a good, you know, Law Education. But there's just not many professions that really I feel like are necessary to go to school. I think there's so much to learn in life. Not only do you learn about the craft that you're interested in, you get into it right away, you learn about it. But then on top of that, you get so many other life experiences too. In school, you're just there's still so few things that you're experiencing that you would get normally in the world. So I recommend if anyone's interested in anything, just get going and on top of that, the only other thing I'd say is travel like nothing. Oh yeah. Grow up faster than travel.
Amen. Amen to that. Okay, so then my I'm sure this is the second most popular question you get is what is it like to be a woman in a sport like that? Like what what was and we're going to take that in Talk about your hormones after that. But, you know, no offense, but hormonally were so different. I can't even imagine what your hormones were doing in that kind of male environment.
Well, I mean, shoot, I was on birth control for most of it. So I'm not sure my hormones really did do anything. Yeah. I don't know, I'd be curious if they really have much of a rhythm when you do when you're on when you're on birth control, control or not. But what was it? Like? My answer is, I don't know any different. So like, I've never been a guy out there. So I don't know what that's like. But, I mean, I think that it was just like all eyeballs, you know, meaning if it was a good day, and it didn't even need to be as good of a day as another guy to make the news. Right, if I finished third, it was news, if I finished third, it wasn't the news, you know. So that's a really good thing. You know, that's a positive, but also, if I, you know, had a bad day, or if, you know, I got mad, or, you know, had a little, little, little bit of a motion show, you know, that was also news too. And so, you know, there's both sides of it. And I truly chose to focus on all the good, and I liked being different. I loved being different, in fact, in like, I loved it. I, you know, I didn't, I really was capable of dealing with that stress and dealing with the pressure and dealing with the attention. Like it just didn't. I mean, I get nervous, but it didn't. It didn't derail me, it actually helps me like narrow in my focus,
you know, and has has many women come after you.
Um, you know, when I was in IndyCar one year, I think there was like, five of us out there in the Indy 500, which is a crazy amount. And, you know, last year there was none. So, or this past year, there was no, no, I can't remember if the year before, maybe there was one year before, but it's not like it's all of a sudden just been an onslaught of, you know, women that are out there. So I don't I don't think it I think it's one of those things. It's like the stock market. You know, it's kind of just steadily going up, usually. But there's dips, you know, so it's like, dips. So I don't know if there's not that many out there. Right.
I think it's really interesting because I think as women we're at a really interesting time in history. I read. I read a book. Earlier this summer, it was called the dark, the dark moon goddess. And it was all about the matriarchal society. And so this is BC that there was we lived in a matriarchal society, where women's intuitions were ceremony where connection was really highlighted. And then we moved into a patriarchal society that we've been in, which has been very focused on this is the way a man does something. This is the way a woman does something. And it's very, almost the opposite. We were suppressed our intuition, you know, we were hung for being ceremonial and thought of as being witches. And now I look at where we're going. And the the world I see is a blending of the two. How do we how do we blend those two. But when we blend those two, you have to say, you know, okay, well, are we going to see more women get into places like car racing? And are we going to see women on football fields and, you know, places where we typically haven't seen women, we're seeing women now, whether you agree with this or not in, you know, in hot, very high political places. And so I think what you did is a little bit the way I see it as this this meshing of the feminine and masculine coming together in a beautiful world.
That's thank you for sharing that. And I totally agree with you. And I'm going to share since I am such a hippie at heart, I was in Sedona this weekend, and I did a past life regression. And the thing that I saw was basically that I was this like, like, Native American Medicine Woman, and that I was doing it people didn't want to buy or I was they were not like selling i They weren't buying my medicine, my like herbs and tinctures and things. And then I just started doing ceremonies. And that lasted for like 10 years. And then I the men didn't like it because it was all women coming to ceremonies. And so in this regression, I this is me visualizing this, by the way, this is I've had regressions where people tell me things and then I this was a regression where I told the story. And and I stopped like I just stopped what I was doing because I was either going to be killed or I had to like go leave and I didn't know where to go. And so I couldn't keep doing it or outside be dead. But the message was and this is why I'm saying it is that what came through so strongly was that my like my vision of my life became so like, dark like gray like there wasn't really a lot of substance to it anymore. And I just kind of died like 40 years later, like 3040 years later old, like seven years old, just kind of like that. And so the point is, is that I died anyway. Because I wasn't doing what I was should have been doing and what was natural and what was like nourishing and feeding my soul, I died anyway, oh my gosh, so do what you love doing.
Oh my gosh, I got chills. So so this is, we're gonna get into health here in a moment. But I just want to say that this is like my vision for women in general. And just, you know, and I know, we have both men and women that listen to this podcast. But we we live in this society that has created these little labels for us and containers for us. And so many people have a passion and purpose in their heart, that they don't let flow out of them. Because of the way the society has taught them. Like, you're this color, you have this socio economic background, you're this sex. So these are the containers you go into. And what I want to see in the new world is that we have no labels, we have no containers, and everybody from the day that they're born is searching for what lights them up, and it doesn't matter, their sex, their sexual identity, their social and economic backgrounds. So I love that idea that you're gonna die anyway.
So if you're not doing what you should be doing, you're dead anyway, inside. So you might as well do it. And isn't it amazing? Like I you know, we've been working together for a little while. And, you know, even just from watching your videos and getting to know you that way, and then interviewing you, like the passion is so obvious. And isn't it amazing? And I know you work your butt off? Isn't it amazing how when you're doing what you love doing that there seems to be almost endless energy, it actually gives you energy. Yes. rob you of energy, it actually and I've done both, like I've done things that are, you know, take a bunch of energy, and I'm depleted. And I've done the things that take a bunch of energy, and I'm actually rejuvenated. And so, you know, like, I can do five, six hours of podcasting in a day where I'm doing the interviewing, which is always harder. And I can get done with it and be like buzzing like high from it. And so I think that's another important message is that no matter what the energy level it takes to do job, if you're in alignment with what's really true to you. And what lights you up, like you said, you have endless energy, pretty much.
Yeah, I mean, we were I was talking to a bunch of people, hormone experts that were saying that, you know, you can see people who are dopamine depleted, they don't have all the resources to make enough dopamine, but they are super energetic. They're super passionate. And it's almost like once you start to identify what lights you up, you just keep searching for that wherever that is. And if it comes in the form of work, it's Yeah, what a blessing. It's such a blessing. And then the other thing that I have to tell you, I was thinking as you were talking, so I was born in 1969. And I grew up in the in the seven in the seven days. And I was the total tomboy and the sport that I loved was baseball. So I was the only girl out on the baseball field. In fact, I have a picture because I grew up in Malibu I have a picture of, of Sonny and share watching a game because their daughter that I think has now transitioned right to a man was on my team. This is this was what it was like, in Malibu. Here's the funny thing is that when my hormones started to kick in around seven, I was such a tomboy that I was looking for a sport that had a female rep like figurehead, like somebody I could go and look up to. And at the time, the only feminine figure in an athletic world was Chrissy Everett. And so I saw her and was like, okay, she's athletic, she's a female, that's what I should do. And that I switched sports to tennis. But I always look back at on that. And I'm like, it took one female in a pic in a figure in a big public platform to help me see where I fit in. But in the end, maybe I would have done something different if I had had more more positive female mentors in sports. So
yeah, well, there's the same. You're leading the way in so many ways. But there's always going to be aspects of our life where we need some four minute mile people. Yeah, there you go. Or it in some ways, and other people are in other ways. Yeah. And somebody's just got to do it first. And then all of a sudden, as the four minute mile story, somebody runs it. It's never been done. And then all of a sudden that you're like 20 More people did it. Like they just needs to be put into the collective consciousness that it's possible. And then yeah, angels thanks. I remember my friend actually. It's ironically enough, my friend who I was in Sedona with she she told me when I first met her I First I had dinner with her and I was telling her about sort of what I did. And, you know, she, she didn't know a ton about it. And she, but she didn't know she was aware. And she was just informing me that she's like, You didn't only just change like, women but men to like the effect on the collective that that had seriously. And we talked about that this week when we were together. And I'm like, yeah, when you said that it really made a difference, because I didn't think about it like that. But, but it changes the narrative for the for not only someone like, you know, Chrissy for you, but also for men too, to be able to see what's possible. And it changes their consciousness to
Yeah, oh my god, that's so well said. So well said and that's part of my new, the new earth I want to create is where we just are seeing that anything's possible doesn't matter, your sex color, socio economic, whatever, that anything is possible. So, okay, so now, I really want to go into your health because I here's what I'm gonna tell you is that I watched you do your ex plan, surgery on social media. And I that was like, the first time I know how you came up on my newsfeed. And I was like, wow, like, not only getting an ax plant, not only you know, art, do you have a lot of eyeballs on you? But you're like, Fuck, yeah, I'm getting these things out. And this is why. So let's talk about like, where did you figure out that toxicity might be an issue for you? And where did you start to see your health change that it really needed more attention?
Yeah, I, I usually want to tell him the story, I can go back to the very beginning of when I think I noticed it. But I think it's more important, because that didn't, I thought some things, but I dismissed it. So I actually start the story with why I went to the doctor, which was I went to the doctor at the beginning of 2021. Spring of 2021, because I lost my cycle, it got delayed a couple of months, and then I skipped and it was just kind of like, this is probably a bad thing. I also felt like in the fall before that, that was sort of like March time of 20 those like January, February, March time of 2021. But, but like November of 2020. I was like, you know, my body changed a little bit. I felt like I had gained some weight. My, like, my hair is just not the set. Like there's just like things that I don't like you. I was well, at that point. I was 38. Okay. And so I was just like, you know, something's not right. I just don't like that what's going on? Now, weight loss completely was like not possible. It just was like, just not possible. It didn't matter what I did. I mean, I remember, even in 2021 Later on, after I'd been to the doctor, I was like, I went on a trip to Cabo with some girlfriends. And I was like, Okay, I think I need a siesta for the liver. Just like we took a boat trip one day and, and I just decided to not drink for like 30 days. And that would be enough to for sure, like change the body. And because whenever you do that, you're also more conscious of other things like the Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I was just like, you work out more like, it just tends to be a real waterfall effect. And nothing, nothing changed. Like nothing changed. I didn't look any different and feeling different. And, and so I, I, you know, I'd started to really kind of dive into what could be going on. I had my labs done. And the first thing that came through was that I had an underactive thyroid. And so I thought, Oh, my God, this it, I'll take a thyroid pill and everything will be fine. This is why my hair is not as good as it used to be. This is why I gained some weight. This is this will be everything. And and that didn't really that didn't do anything. So after a couple of phases of increasing the dosage and nothing happening. My this is just with my OB, I was like, and my hormones were low, we checked my hormones, and they were low. He was like, you needed a functional doctor. So I worked at the functional doctor for a while. But in the meantime of getting that functional doctor I had my boyfriend at the time gave me an awesome book by Ben Greenfield, boundless. And so I started like in getting interested in biohacking and all the things and so I was like, Oh, I'll interview Ben. And so I asked Ben at the end of the interview, when we were done, I was like, I just know like, what to eat, when to eat it, how to work out when to workout, all those kinds of things. Like just like dial me in. It was like, Alright, do these tests and then we'll talk about it after which we actually ended up doing for another podcast, we just talked about the review, which might have been boring for people. It's interesting in that the information you get, but it's not your body so but it's still interesting to see how deep the information can go. And so I had started getting all these tests like stool tests, Dutch test like stools for like, you know, parasites and GI and just like all kinds of your microbiome. Dutch test for hormones. I did a blood draw for checking for food sensitivities for leaky gut. I did a genetics test for certain genetic pathways. I did a couple others. There was like five or six different tests, and oh, yeah, environment sort of toxins like. And then, with my functional doctor, we added one more, which ended up being like a really interesting one, which was a provoked urine test for heavy metal toxicity. And so yeah, and um, I mean, that's how I got on to you was toxicity, like fasting and hormones all came later. Like there wasn't many people speaking about the process of detoxing from heavy metals. Yes. And so that's how I got interested in you last year. And, and so the heavy metal report came back and I had like, through the roof mercury, like the threshold is five and mine was 170. And I had heavy met, like thallium cells deciem and lead and one other one. And then Mercury was elevated.
There was one I'm trying to remember because I wondered it. Cadmium, I want to say I wondered if you got it from car racing, like from brake pads. You and I talked about that there was that I was like, wow, there you this came from an environmental a unique environmental source.
That's very likely. I mean, there were times in my career at the end, last couple of years, I was getting migraines, and it would be easy to like trigger the migraine. Like, let's say I could get it anyway, it was rare that I would just get a migraine just from the driving. But let's say I mean, I would but let's say I had like one drink on Sunday night after the race. I would one and I would have a two day migraine. So it was very easy to trigger like, trigger that. And so I had I thought maybe I'm getting carbon monoxide poisoning. And I for racers. I checked my I did it. But I checked my would it be my co2 level? Yeah, before I got in the car. And then I got out of the car and immediately got on the golf cart, and to go back to my bus, which is how it always goes, get out of the car, and you walk straight to golf currently. And someone was right there with the test to do it again. So I immediately did it after I get out of the car. And I think it went from like zero to three. And they were like, that's not a big deal. They're like smokers are a 10. So I realized that probably that's not the problem. But that could have been the initial phase of some of that heavy metal toxicity which when we loop in the breasts implants, which I got when I was 32. Like I had had them now for a few years and so that that could have been accumulating in my in my blood and in my body. And in my well I mean it goes into fat cells, right mercury and lead goes into light goes into the bone, or well, let is more that goes in the bone. And so you know, who knows, but But anyway, so I got that heavy metal report back and that was high. So I went through a phase of like doing gut rehab for 90 days cutting things out of my diet, taking certain pills. I had like a seven out of 10 dysbiosis. So like gut bacteria was not perfectly balanced. And so that I was doing that. That didn't help my gut BIOSIS at the end of the year in November, like these were tests done in the summer. So about four or five months later, my dysbiosis was 10 out of 10. Now I had another bad strain or another strain of bacteria that was unwanted. We never checked my leaky gut again, because at the time my doctor was like, that's not gonna be better. And I was like, why am I spending 90 days doing all this stupid shit. Like, that's news and that's motivated. Yeah, that's not motivating. And but she she and I know that it's hard on the body, but she was like you're running your training for the Boston Marathon. This isn't going to help you. We need things to calm down. So I provoked tests later in the year was better. It was better because I had done some chelation, but man doing like chelation and running the marathon like heat really gets me like as I've seen recently even like working out being back in Arizona, because I spent two months in Indiana getting out of the heat, like my body. And also on top of that now I'm doing so many other modalities. It just it's it's zaps me. But anyway, to get back on track. I did a whole bunch of tests in the summer really got going on, you know, many different protocols. I tried. Then Then at the end of the year, I got on to another doctor who was actually passed on to me by Ben Greenfield. And so then I did some NAD like loading phase of NAD like five out of 10 days. I tried. Yeah, that's a lot of NAD and I felt it was hard. I took like the I mean the the she came to my house to do the to do the drip. And I mean it took like three four hours each time just by the time she got here and got the IV and you know did The trip took a couple of hours. So you know, that was time consuming and I didn't feel good doing it. I mean, you have to take Zofran it's so rough. And then I mean,
you like one of the things that I love about you is you're like, Okay, let me do everything. And I'm not just going to do everything a little bit. I'm gonna just go all in, like, you definitely did everything. Yeah, I just
have tried to, I thought peptides would help peptides and do anything. And so basically, now you've heard me stumble along a whole bunch of tests on a whole bunch of protocols and a whole bunch of different things. And then finally, so now we're entering into early 2022. And it was like, February, January, February, and I just finally hit a wall. And I was like, nothing helps. Nothing makes me feel better. And I was like, I just I, for some reason, started watching more breast implant illness, illness stories and videos on YouTube and following like, Instagram Stories of people and watching their journey. And I just was like, I gotta get these out. Yeah, so I made a call in March, I remember I was on vacation and Telluride. And I was like, Hi, I'd like to make an appointment. They're like, okay, we're booking consultations for June and surgeries for October. And I was like, I mean, here we are in August. And it's been done for months. So I at first, I was like, Uh, I don't know what to say, you know, so I'm like, well, we better get the ball rolling. And so I said, if there's anything that comes up any sooner, please let me know. And so, so I was booked for like, June. And then an opportunity for surgery came up in in June. And so I, I put him down payment for that. And I hadn't even done the consultation yet. And then they said, I mean, I did get some little extra special service. And that's gonna
Unknown Speaker
say you didn't pull the data come, Patrick. I didn't
pull it. They allowed they gave me the and then they I remember I was in that it was May and I was on my 40th birthday. I mean, my goal for my 40th birthday, probably like anybody else in their 40s. Like, I'm gonna be in the best shape of my, I'm gonna be the worst fucking shape of my life like I was in the worse like, inside and out. And so. So I was on my birthday trip with nine girlfriends on a yacht and the Exumas. And it was having, and I'm like, busy on the phone, because they're telling me now that there's a May date, or sorry, an April date that I can get in for. Sorry, the trip was in April, my birthday is March 25. We went the first week of April. And there wasn't like an April 27 surgery date. And I was like, Oh my God. And so I told them, I have to leave eight days after the surgery, because I had to go work the Formula One race in Miami. And I was like, is that enough time? And so then I'm in the back bedroom with my I don't remember who took the pictures? Maybe my sister I don't remember. But I was like, hey, I need you to take some pictures of my boobs. I need to send them to the doctor. They need to check and see if I'm basically like, like eight days, or whatever. Yeah, they need to size them up. And so I have like a sunburn line because I had like a tube top on and it was like day one and I had gotten like a sunburn right away. And so I looked ridiculous, but I sent them and they're like, you should be fine. So. So the so then I booked it for the 27th got them out and immediately so the the thing was, is that if I had my surgery appointment, because again, I got in last second. It was at 230 in the afternoon. I was better at fasting, I would have felt better all day. Yeah.
I got home by like five. And that night, I'm like, by time I finally kind of came out of the drunken haze from the drugs. Like I remember, like touched my face. And I was like, Oh, wow. And like I had my own, like, oil was being produced on my skin for the first time. And I just forgot what it felt like I just, I just didn't even think about it. You know, I just my scalp had been dry for years. Like I didn't. I didn't notice I knew to notice my scalp. But I didn't notice that I didn't think about the whole body being in effect. And so when that happened, I was like, oh my god, like my body's saying thank you. And I woke up in the morning. And I mean, we're like 12 hours out from surgery. And I'm like, I've got drains because they saw it on Instagram. Yeah, you have to do drains and I'm like they're so small do I really, my worst scar is from the drain on one side. And so So I'm walking around the kitchen and I'm like pacing in the kitchen and my mom is here to take care of me. And I'm like Mom, I just have so much energy. I don't know what I mean. Like we should go grocery shopping and like so like it's like seven in the morning and 730 We're like at the grocery store and I've got a big sweatshirt on to like hide my giant drains on my body. And I felt amazing. Like I mean 48 hours the drains came out because the, the there was so little fluid coming out. I mean that night, 48 hours later, I probably shouldn't have. But my mom and I shared a bottle of wine, like, you know, we played Monopoly. And I was like, like, I was able to, like do yoga shit and pull my like, put my hands behind my back and stretch. And I did an interview with the doctor, because when i i And obviously 48 hours later, getting the drains out and feeling so amazing was the day that I also shared, you know, I shared that I had done the surgery, and I had no plans on on sharing it unless it did something. Like I had been kind of sharing my medical journey a little bit and I and my curiosities about the body, but I was like, I'm not going to share anything until it works. And trust me, like I thought the Gup protocol would work, I thought the thyroid medicine would have worked, I thought the peptides would have worked. I thought the NAD would have worked. I thought the, you know, I thought every protocol I tried would have worked every one of them. And they didn't. And so it wasn't like I just, I thought I saw of course here comes the breast implants getting removed. And I mean, I think hopefully this works. And it did. Like that's the thing is, is that finally did something. And so I shared that and I was like, Oh man, Mom, should I should I should I do this? And she's like, well, you're probably gonna tell everyone anyway. And I'm like, and so I just hit send, and I'm so glad I did. But I mean, I was doing an interview with the doctor for Good Morning America, like, you know, four days later, because it had just caught fire. And I'm so grateful, because there's so many people that have, you know, passed along their gratitude for it. And there's been really good stories since.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I, I know, you know, this, like, when you stand up and show, hey, I'm making drawing a line in the sand for my health. And my health is more important than the size of my breasts or what they look like, you know, it really like you just give all women permission to reevaluate how we look at brand our breasts and be what we do to toxify ourselves for beauty. And that, to me, is the biggest heartbreak that I have is that so many women in the name of beauty are destroying their mental and physical health without knowing it's not, it's innocent, they don't realize what they're doing. So I loved watching it all on Instagram.
And I guess I guess, like close the loop on the whole, like, my symptoms, I probably can go back to and it's also a good lesson to, I can track it back to probably 2018. It didn't seem to do anything, I got them, I think at the end of 14, so 15 1617, I didn't notice anything. But as soon as like the beginning of 18 hit, I felt like I had like an incremental like, like I weighed like 110 pounds, my whole like forett for so long. And then all of a sudden, I was like, you know, five pounds. And I was like, weird, wasn't super noticeable in my body, but I knew it was there. And as a number goes. And I was like, That's so weird. And I thought, well, I don't know, I was like, maybe my hormones are off. Because that was what I thought like I because I would work out a little bit more like change my diet, things that would totally make a difference. And they weren't doing anything. And I thought maybe my hormones are off. And then I just did the overpower things. thing that I would tell anyone as far as I told myself the same thing. And I was like, try harder, do better. Push harder, is just like getting older. This is just like you've got to do more. And I'm sure that I completely, you know, drove myself into the ground by you know, working out more stressing about it period, eating less at times, like all those things are not going to help. And so
if I was was was this was this after the implant, but this is yeah,
this is afterwards. So this is like 18 So I got them. So it's about three years after I got them. Yeah, and I can my hair too wasn't the same, like I had like the super long, dark hair forever. And it just kind of kept getting shorter because it just was kind of breaking off and not growing. And I thought that was age too. So now I'm of the stance that I'm not getting putting up with it. I'm not that old. It's not gonna go this way. I'm gonna live to 120 and if this is if this is a quarter if this is a third of the way, no way man this there's totally a way and I'm not putting up with the old age thing that's not It's not fun in my book so Amen
to that. Oh my god, I have so many things to say on that. So for starters, hormones, the hardest part about hormones is that you can't push through them and let me tell you as a type A overachiever woman like I have that same like mentality like push the pain away, keep going head down and but when we're trying to bring hormones back into balance, that doesn't work and it is so hard which is why I like looking had it more like gas pedal brake, like we need to know when to put the gas pedal on on all things with your lifestyle and when to put the brake on. And it's that brake, that's going to be the hardest. And it's an you know, especially for you, but for so many women, it's that we live in that if we go back to this idea that we live in a patriarchal society that rewards work ethic and reward success and pushing through. But when it comes to a woman's health, it's not a push on through moment. It's a investigative investigative note moment, which is really what I hear is that you were like, Okay, what stone have an eye unturned? Exactly. Now we've got to figure out the gas pedal and the brake for you, which will be maybe the hardest emotional piece of this for you, per how
great great just when I thought I had gone through the hardest stuff, huh?
Yeah, it's just, it's just, it's just a muscle, that parasympathetic nervous system and how to nurture that is just, yeah, hard muscle to nurture. And I think as women, there's a way for us to be strong and push in. And then there's a way for us to be strong in our vulnerability and strong in our ability to say no, and strong in the honoring of our hormones, when we need more progesterone, and we're supposed to sit on the couch and chill out. Like, there's strength in honoring the hormone of the day and what's needed. So well. So that's, that's where we're going.
I do however, need you to come and handcuffed me to couch though, okay, I handcuffed me to the couch.
I always say that one of the things I would love to do is just take people and lock them in a room and fast with them. And I'll just hang there and let them fast because I know the body will heal itself. But it would probably be pretty brutal. So the other thing I want to tell you that I think is really an interesting part of your journey that is so consistent for everybody is Have you heard of the toxic bucket theory. No. So we're all born with a different size bucket of toxins that we can handle. And this is the where genetics come in. So some humans have these huge genetically big buckets. And they can take so many toxins, and they'll never have a symptom. And some humans have a very, very small bucket and your genetics determines your size a bucket of your bucket, then you inherit a toxic load from mostly mom, it comes through the matriarchal line. So because in the womb, all of her toxins went into you. And when she was in your grandma's womb, all the toxins went into her. So we start to see a pattern of toxins that get dumped into the human that you are, then you come into the world and you accumulate your own. So the part of your story and where the breast implants really kicked in that I see is between that and some emotional stressors, your bucket tipped, and when your bucket got so high and it started tip, then nothing's going to work. I don't care what parasite cleanse you throw at it. I don't care what how many fasts you do, the goal is that we've got to empty the bucket, and you did a great job taking the breast implants out, because you you stopped the barrage of toxins coming in. Totally. Now the work is emptying the bucket.
Exactly. I kind of knew that would come to like, but at least my body will respond. And that's the thing is that he's been getting some blood work done like 13 days after surgery. Finally, like there was a changes within my blood work. And so like thyroid came up just into normal range for the first time. And so I was like, okay, cool, some stuffs gonna kind of heal itself. But there's gonna definitely be some stuff that I'm probably going to have to do some work for. And I might be doing the same work I did before. But at least it's gonna make a difference now
so smart. It's so smart. Yeah, that's exactly right. And, and then the other part of the breast X plant that I think you and I have talked about is that when you remove the source, now you gotta go, Okay, have I opened up the pathways to detox pathways to let all that out? I mean, I love like, the body's built, I love what you said about the body is built to, to live to 120. Like, we're not meant to be sick at 40. So when we are sick at 40, there's an evolutionary mismatch. We're living in the most toxic time in human history, physically, mentally, you know, chemically, so we've got to now go back to the true essence of your body. And then, you know, at 100 You'll be dancing on tables and remembering every story and
yeah, yeah, thanks to you, and thanks to you know, just science moving along and more information. I mean, look, there's there's, there's there's a lot of things that technology is like, you know, maybe not the best for that there are things that it's great for, and it's about having discernment of when to use technology and when to not
right. Now, one of I asked you this question and you definitely have a unique mindset. So So, but what does it feel like to just have your breasts taken off? Like, is there an emotional? Like, I can't even imagine I'm sure you already went through this when they went in. But there's feels something very vulnerable about that experience. Did you? Was it just? Are you just black and white, and you're like, I'm just going to do this and not think about it. But I think a lot of women struggle with that, you're going to take my now we're going to take the breasts off, and it's part of my identity.
Well, I mean, I got them in the first place, because I thought, well, I'm super fit, I'm lean, I look good, but I just don't have boobs. And I thought, you know, am I gonna wait till I'm done with my career, and however, whatever age that'll be, and maybe my body won't be the same. And then who, you know, like, I was like, Man, if I could just kind of complete the package right now. And I got them. And I, I'd say the only i Well, first off, I'll just say, I didn't necessarily I actually felt more in my body actually felt more, somewhat insecure at times. Like, I didn't really want people to notice them. Like, I wanted to have them to sort of, like complete this like image in my head. And to feel a little bit more feminine and sexy. So I'd say like, in a swimsuit, and in a dress, like where there's you know, curves and stuff. Like, you know, it was nice to fill that stuff out. And it did look a little bit better. But when it came to like, the actual, like, feminine, sexy part, like, I knew they were fake, and I knew if anyone touched them, they were fake. And it wasn't you couldn't forget, I never forgot. I never forgot ever. Yeah. And, um, and then when I got them out, I actually feel like sexier. Yeah, ironically, like I actually, I, there's nothing to hide, like, whether I'm No, I don't want to wear a bra, or whether and now I'm very small. Or whether I'm in a in a swimsuit, or anything. Like I'm like, I don't care. It's just literally how I look. And then if someone were to touch them, I wouldn't feel weird because it's just like, it's like, it's not like I'm there's something, there's no, there's no mental barrier there. It's just my body. So I don't I feel more sexy without them. And I actually felt less sexy some time to some degree with them in so I can't say it really like checked my boxes. It didn't. Because I'm, I'm so look, and I'm a girl. And there's a few things that I'll do to sort of like improve looks. And, you know, I'm not 100% natural, but, but I do like mostly natural. And I like you know, authenticity from the inside to the outside is important. And, and we just, you know, I think we're at a point in time, we're definitely on the outside having, you know, looking like yourself, I think there'll be a commodity on people that actually look like a normal human being and look like themselves and look different from each other. Someone that looks different, someone that has, you know, a different sort of expression or the way the shape of their faces, it's now it's like, you know, filler here to like, change these, this filler here, it's Botox in these places to like, move the face around. And, you know, I haven't said it, I do a little Botox, but like, maybe I'll end up quitting doing that, because I, you know, maybe I'll realize that's toxic too. And I'm like, but I really liked that one does not make me feel more insecure. And I just do a little bit just right here. But, you know, I think that we're definitely living in a time where we're, there's so much like you said, more toxicity and disconnection from the self and that does not create confidence, it lacks it and makes you lack more of it. Because, you know, being yourself and being able to rock that is really, you know, ultimately the goal.
You know, they I heard recently that there, there has been so much Botox and fillers that they actually with actresses and actors, they're having to bring in some CGI to like, make their faces move, because so they have to do post production, because their faces aren't moving. So they don't show like empathy. They can't show anger. I've even had some of my friends who have done Botox. I had a friend one time tell me, I don't think my kids know when I'm angry because I can't like make my head scrunched down. So I
trying I mean, you know, obviously it doesn't do a lot, right. But I have a scowl face quite a bit so it's probably a good thing that I look more approachable.
But I do but to your point I feel like we this is for women I'm going to go back to this new world for women because this is what I what I feel like conversations like this can create as I really want women to start to think about how we show up physically, mentally, emotionally, a lot different. And the you know, I believe that where is the naturally aging person were they what do they look like? I always tell my following like you can just watch me cuz I'm just going to keep going natural. And I'm just not going to do all but I'm also interested in stem cells and exosomes. And okay, I'm willing to go down that path. Yeah, but but when you put a toxin in me, I'm not. That's where my brain shuts down. My other question in this, you tell me if this is too personal, but I got to ask it, pretty much nothing is. Okay. So one of the things I've had conversations I've had ladies nights, is about the sensitivity of nipples and the size of a breast. So what I think a lot of men may not realize, a lot of women might not even realize, which is oftentimes smaller breasted women have very sensitive nipples. And larger breasted women tell me if this is real breasts, they say, Oh, my God, my nipples are like numb like they are not sensitive at all.
So did you notice sensitive? Yeah, did
you? Did you notice a difference when you had the implants in? Were you was there less sensitivity compared to now? I don't think it
changed too much. Mmm hmm. Yeah, I don't think had changed too much. But there's always been sensitivity. My implants are pretty small. But I would say I would say maybe. Yeah, I don't know. We'll see.
Yeah, yeah. You're gonna have to go like that. You have to go test it out for me. Let me know.
Yeah, it's it seems normal. Seems good. Yeah. But I mean, that's interesting, though, that bigger, bigger breasted women would have less sensitivity
and yeah, yeah. So it's and then you if you look at okay, well, let's go back to how women, the the womanly, beautiful feminine figure is typically that woman who's got big breasts, but Okay, now let's take, let's just say, you know, what is it that you're, if she's a sex, if she's sexy, with bigger breasts, that sort of alludes that she's going, you're going to be more sexy in bed, or is going to have more pleasure in bed, and it would be something to conquer. And the way I look at it is like, actually, smaller breasted women have so much more sensitivity that I have seen in research and in discussions than larger breasted women.
Oh, yes. Yes, go as I might just be a little bit
biased because I sit in this small breasted woman categories.
Okay, good. I love it. I love having small boobs, actually. I'm so like, so happy? Because, I mean, yeah, it's like, you can wear all kinds of clothes. When you have really big boobs, you have to be careful how revealing it is because it can look a little bit much. But the less boobs you have, the more options you have.
Yeah, and let's just talk about when you're working out, it's all got easier, or if you can just walk around without a bra. And like there's so many things that are so much easier when you're smaller chested. So, yeah, that's my plug for that. Okay, tell me what else do so people that are listening that are like, Okay, I'm hearing you, I'm thinking about doing this. What you had the immediate change, what else do you feel like as a symptom that did not come back, the minute you took it took those implants out, that symptom changed for the good.
I would say my energy levels came up like I naturally just had more energy. Like, and I mean, there's definitely a rhythm to your cycle and times where you're upper up and down a little bit, but I have more energy more of the time. My face kind of shrunk a little bit. So there was definitely like some we've been working with the lymphatic system. So I mean, like lymph nodes and all through my upper body especially. But um, but I mean, lymph nodes went down right away, and my face went down. Like the oil my skin and my scalp improved a lot. And you know, blood mark, like markers, hormone markers, endocrine system, and thyroid, those kinds of things all definitely started coming up. So like, there was definitely just generally like a biological suppression. Like, my body was just like, we're done. Yeah. And so that's come back.
Those are big. Yeah.
And really big. I and I think that this is what one of the reasons I wanted to bring you on was just to help women see that sometimes we have to make tough decisions about toxic loans. And we have to put a stake in the ground around our health and it's not always convenient, but it's but some of the things that we do are so big and so helpful to the body that it's worth it. And so would you say that it's been I'm pretty sure I don't you're gonna say work has it been worth it?
It's totally worth it. And here's the thing, like I went to a lot of different doctors and I would be Hang it up. I've brought it up for the last couple of years, like, Oh, do you think this could be it? Shoot, I was even like working with a body worker that I use here in town. And, and I was like, I always had a hard time getting this arm behind my back. And like it always did have a lot of shoulder pain. Like, even to the point where I couldn't even do it like this one problem, but then this one, I'd be like, and I was like, could it? Could it be weird, like, from my implants? And like, I've been asking questions about them for a while, and, and the implication of someone, especially a doctor saying, Yes, that's it is surgery. And that's a big burden, right? And you don't know their emotional connection to them. You don't you don't I mean, it's surgery is always a real thing. In health, it's going under the knife is a real thing. And so, you know, there's a, there's sort of like a responsibility for agreement saying that that's it. So I understand the discretion that doctors are using to, you know, not discouraged, but at least be in the in the middle. But definitely, there were a lot of doctors that said, you know, I don't think that's it. Let's try some other things first, you know, like, they were very much in the middle of not not believing. And so what I would say is, is that through my own research and effort to watch stories, here, we'll look at the symptoms. And really, there's like a, I'm really big on like the quantum field of information coming in and attunement to information. And I think it's coming in that quantum field where it's not just like the word set said, sometimes they trip a trigger, but also there's just like an energy with it. And so like, I just like, attuned and resonated so much with so many different stories that I watch, and I'd be like, Oh my God, that to me, and I would just feel it. And so like, intuitively, as we're tying the loop from the beginning of the conversation, I was getting back more into that matriarchal, like energetic, like the emotion of things, instead of that more masculine patriarchal sort of space we've been in, which is mental, you know, that's more mental and feminine, is more emotional. And I was tuning in to the, to the emotion and the physical reaction to the stories that I was having. And it resonated. And I just, like felt strongly within my body. So no matter what anyone says, and I mean, I wish I had a listen to myself back in 2018. And like with the, it's your hormones, maybe Danica, I would have listened. Listen to your intuition. And that's what I that's what I did. So this is not for everyone to not to say everyone's like you for sure got to go get your implants out. I think anything foreign should just not be a thing. But there's also people out there that have had double mastectomies. And they have like, literally like divots, and they want to have something. And so I understand with compassion that there are certainly situations that are much more serious than just wanting to look better. So, but to really trust that intuition, tune into it. And the more you, the more you practice tuning into that intuition, across the board with everything going on in your life, and following those, like looking at those things that happen. You're like, Oh, that's interesting. Like, pick up on those synchronicities, pick them up, pick up, like, you know, if you keep seeing a feather every time you take a step and walk somewhere, just take that as your little sign from the universe, that you're on the right track. start tuning into the energy of things, and then you'll get your answers. Yeah,
oh my god, boom, Mic drop. That was good. I, you know, I always say, if I hear something three times, when I hear it, the third time I go, doesn't matter what it is, my brain goes, Ooh, okay, that's a message from the universe saying you need to go study that you need to follow that. I also have a place in my body that I feel it when something hits me on a cellular level, and I'm supposed to do something. And it used to come in my gut. But now it's like, literally on the inside of my being when I'm wanting to make a big decision, or I'm trying to figure out how to move forward on something. If I feel the answer is right. I feel it literally in the core of who I am. Wow. And that's what I heard what you just
said when you just said three times, like one of the one of the responses, my body has two yeses when something is true, is my body will kind of get a wave of Goosebumps. And it's not real goosebumps. It's just like the cells going Yes. It's like it's kind of like goosebumps. But it's like Yeah, and actually my body's doing it right now. I'm not cold. I'm not I'm just like my body is having this yes system. Say yes. alert me. So that's one of my really big signs is when my body just gets like a wave of Goosebumps. Yeah.
And then I'm gonna go back to where we started this, that's what in the matriarchal world, I think that and I'm not again, leaving the men out. But I think that from a hormonal and cellular level as women, we, that intuitive sense, has been there and, and drives us. But when we're not aware of it, because we live in this patriarchal world, when we're not aware of it, we numb ourselves out to it. And you could even look at it with like drugs and alcohol, like when somebody's living in congruently in their life, and they're not following their purpose. And their cells are saying, This isn't right. It's very easy to say, Well, I'm gonna numb you out because it doesn't feel good to keep having these messages come through my through my mean.
Oh, man, it's it makes me fit. Remember this, that when people are disassociated and cold and unemotional, it's not actually that they don't have an emotion. It's that there's too much.
Yes. Oh, oh, my gosh, yes.
And they try. They can't go there. It's too much.
And can we just say that we live in a world where too much emotion isn't applauded. It's not like people are like, Oh, I love that person. They're so emotional. Like they cry, sometimes they're angry other times. But you know, if we come back to the female structure, this is who we are our hormones, if you just look at our sex hormones, you know, one sex hormone makes us incredible, have an incredible gift of gab, the other sex hormone makes us want to go inner and not talk to anybody, and gives us incredible intuition and might even make us a little teary. But we, when we moved into this patriarchal world, we have really gotten disconnected from that feminine vibe that is so crucial for our well being. And when I hear you say, I just had this sense, I'm like, Yes, that's it. And that's what we need to get back to as women. And that's where our health is going to start to move in a positive direction when we learn how to connect to that. But it's going to take some hanging around people like you and listening to stories like this, to be able to really retrain that part of ourselves, who
I'm still working on it, you know, I mean, and the thing is, is that that attunement to the self, and feeling the emotions and really letting it like feeling where it hits in the body and the intuition about it, that doesn't only just help like knowing, like, hormonally what to do that helps to know if you're in the wrong relationship, it helps to know that if you're in the wrong job, that helps to know that if a friend does not have the best intentions, like, like, all of that stuff, comes through the body. And so once you tune in everything, it's you can now you can have discernment when you watch TV, and here's something on the news, like, you know, all of that stuff, it's like, you'll now be the lie detector test.
So well said that is so well said that's exactly and you'll know what food to eat. You'll know how long to fast like everything becomes a really visceral understanding. So, oh my gosh, I love that. Okay, well, I could keep talking about this for hours. I have, there's two questions that I end every podcast or one question I end my podcast with, but I'm gonna throw an extra one special one in for you. Okay. Okay, so are there? Do we have extra terrestrial terrestrial life? And if so, what are they doing?
That one's special for me? Yes. Okay. You ask everyone that question? Oh, I
don't. But I'm asking you because I want to have the conversation with you.
So 100% I don't like I think anyone that thinks that we're the only game in town, I feel like it's kind of it's kind of a naive or narcissistic sort of thing to think, like to think that we're the only thing in the universe and we are just, we are such an average to small like situation in the universe. Our sun is not amazing. It's not a big sun. Like, it's just not amazing. Our planets beautiful. And I think that we're special and unique. But I don't think that we're the only game in town. So 100%. And I think that, you know, I mean, I remember I did did an interview with John Paul DeJoria, who started Paul Mitchell and patrol and all kinds of, and he was like, we'll know for sure that there are extraterrestrials within the next sort of five years. And that was a couple of years ago. So how are we going to know I mean, look, we've got the space program now and like, all kinds of things. How are we going to know I mean, one intuition, there's gotta be the women are gonna tell us I think our consciousness needs to reach to reach a certain point where we are accepting and not believing and all the propaganda that it's that there's negativity, because otherwise, if there is actually like, an interaction and meeting of reality that we see Just knowing or some transcendental experience with them. I think that we're gonna have to not think with hostility, we're gonna have to be like, Okay, there's benevolent extraterrestrials too. And I actually think that when I walk outside at night, and I go let the dogs out, and I look up to the stars, and I'm like, Okay, I'm ready. I'm like, What am I, to come down here right now? And so but I do think I have this belief that if there was some sort of meeting that I think that they would be able to make you feel so comfortable. Did you ever see the movie contact with Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey at the end of the movie, it's her dad dies early and young in her life, and the movie kind of is pivotal around this, this situation. And she sees him on a beach. And it's this spiritual sort of like, she's on this journey. And, like through this, I'm not going to bore you with that. She sees her dad, and she's so comfortable. And I think that they would be able to make you feel comfortable in whatever situation. So yes, yes, there's got to be extraterrestrials for sure. I mean, who the hell built the pyramids? Come on.
Right. So but then I wonder, are they are they walking around in human bodies? Like, are we interacting with them? And we don't even know it.
I think that there are some that are much more some other entity than human. Like, I don't know, I know some people like that, that you're just like, your eyes. Tell me a story right now. That is not that human. Like the way you look through me the way that? Yeah, the energy that I feel. So I definitely think there are some there's even more out there concepts of, you know, Reptilians, and things like that. But, but simply said, I think there probably are some some bodies that are very much some other kind of energy.
Yeah, okay. Well, you let me know when you meet one, and I'll do the same. Oh, I've
met many. I just I'm not for sure about it. When you're 100%? Sure. Okay, got
it. Oh, gosh, amazing. Okay, now a more severe and more, you know, tangible question. What do you have a gratitude practice? And if so, what is it? And in in this year, in 2022? What are you grateful for? We've been through two years of everybody complaining, and I feel like 2022 and really needs to be a time that we celebrate what are you grateful for this year.
Um, I mean, when I lay my head down at night, I mean, I mean, I would call myself spiritual and not necessarily religious. But I think there's just something. So sometimes I don't always know who to address. I'm like, God, source. I don't know, whatever is out there. Whoever's out there are dimensional frequencies. I, I always start off with all the things I'm thankful for always. And I'm not gonna say that every night, I put my head down at night, and I pray every night, but many times I do, and, and I and I'm grateful for I list all the things I'm grateful for. And I think that what I am most grateful for of recent time is, you know, there's a lot of things but what I've really realized is that I have amazing people in my life, just like the relationships that I have the friends, my family, and I just keep collecting, like amazing humans, like, you're one of them. And, and so many others that I've met along the way in the last year or two, like just really special human beings that are whether they're just like wonderful people, or whether they have superpowers of like, connecting with energies in the quantum world, whatever like, or whether they're brilliant doctors or just whatever, I just feel like I've like I've got so like, the universe has really been blessing me with a lot of information and a lot of resources. And, and I'm really grateful for that I if I if I'm curious about something or someone or some specific area of life, like people just start showing up to fill it in.
Yeah, usually, they actually say right now that the way the astrologically energetically the way things are lining up, that manifestations are happening a lot quicker. Oh, yeah, time and I because I feel the same thing. Like every day. I'm like, Oh my God. There's another interesting scenario here. There's another interesting person. And I don't know if we all were in hiding and now we're out and like, but and I feel like 100% aligned with what you just said that there are some special people showing up with huge hearts that are entering into my world as well. And I wonder sometimes if it's that magnetic effect, when you listen to everything that you talked about and who you are and the journey you're on. I feel like Yeah, of course, amazing people are showing up because you're magnetizing them to you, you know, you have an energy that is attracting them to you, the non, the non special people, the angry people wouldn't even gravitate to you because they look at you and be like, I don't know, your vibe is not my vibe. So I think this is where I go, let's all vibe at this higher frequency and we can start to change the world. Because it starts with changing ourselves. So
yeah, I You're totally right. I mean, I think that, you know, like attracts like. And the thing is, is that as I mean, timelines are really sped up right now. And I think that that's part of it is just like what would have taken 10 years to kind of meet and go through transitions as all these people, it's happening in 10 months now. And it's just I times this very interesting parameter of our reality. But it's speeding up and speak to anyone, it just speak to anyone on experience. Like you can't say timelines are not fast right now. Right. So as we're hurtling through the universe, we're somehow reaching this sort of point in the universe where time is not the same as it used to be. And so yeah, it's speeding up our growth and acceleration. And I think that there's something to be said, for the collective consciousness to the collective frequency, I look at like energy. And I look at like the world from an energy standpoint, and just, you know, momentum, and about momentum, wonderful Abraham Hicks, when I listen to Abraham Hicks, it's all about momentum, and we're going, we're going the right way. There's other stuff going the wrong way. But we're also going the right way. And life is all about polarity and duality. And so, you know, just as much as things are spiraling out of control, and crazy and dark and bad. There's also the other side of it.
Yeah. 1,000%. So, thank you so much. This is really delightful. And it's a couple of things I want to tell you. For starters, as a woman, thank you for breaking glass ceilings. Thank you for showing up as a badass racecar driver that showed what women could do. And then thank you for being so public about what you did with your breast X plant. So I know you know this in your mind. But I want you to know in your heart that you've really made a difference for women. So appreciate you so much.
Thank you. Thank you. I felt that I felt that hit. And you know, as I joked about afterwards, like, this is what famous for.
Yeah, there you go. Yeah, good
stuff, sharing the journey and being vulnerable.
I'd love it. I love it. And if people want to find you, your podcast is amazing. So I want to put a plug into there anything else that
our episode, people are loving it? Yeah, the pretty intense podcast. You can just search my name. It's anywhere you find podcasts. I also make wine somnium danach Rosae. Once from Napa Valley, and once French and I have a candle company called voient. That's very, like intentionally curated. There are four different ones after my trip to Egypt last year. Yeah, I mean, those are some of the big buckets. Yeah. And yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you so much. I know
thank you, Danica. This was amazing. Appreciate you. You're beautiful,
beautiful person. Thank you.

Heat dominate Thunder, win 116-107
With Goran Dragic and Dwyane Wade leading the charge, Miami was able to come back from a bad first quarter and take things over for a big win.
By Brandon Di Perno@Brandon_DiPerno Mar 18, 2019, 10:36pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Heat dominate Thunder, win 116-107
First Quarter:
Paul George and the Thunder really brought it to the Heat to start the game, going on a 13-0 run. The Heat were cold from the field to start the game, missing their first four attempts and not converting on a bucket until the 6:55 mark thanks to Dwyane Wade.
After a strong game yesterday afternoon, Miami's defense was horrid to start. Miami left many players open and were toasted because of it. Spo was forced to send Miami into a 2-3 zone, but even that was slow to stop the bleeding.
The Heat finally settled in leading to an electrifying Derrick Jones Jr. slam, and soon after a Goran three. With the Heat on their own 21-4 run, Miami managed to pull all the way back to take the lead. Goran was fantastic hitting all his shots and three threes, and driving to the hoop like the Goran of old.
Second Quarter:
Miami opened the second quarter with another Goran Dragic three which he was fouled on, leading to a four point play. Miami was rolling, with nearly everybody doing damage on the offensive end. James Johnson continued his effectiveness from yesterday afternoon, scoring seven points.
Derrick Jones Jr. slammed home another rim rocker of a dunk, as Miami built on their lead. The Thunder offense became anemic which was a testament to the Heat's strong defense. Miami's reserves were fantastic, outscoring the Thunder bench 39-2.
The Thunder would eventually recover with Paul George leading the charge, and Dennis Schroeder following him up.
Goran Dragic, Derrick Jones Jr, and Kelly Olynyk would return fire on the other end to keep Miami ahead. It was enough to keep the Heat up slightly (and Miami even found another 10 point lead), but as the quarter came to a close the Thunder was nipping at their heels. A James Johnson steal in the final seconds of the half would keep Miami ahead 3 headed into the second half.
Third Quarter:
Miami started off strong with a steal and Bam dunk, which they quickly followed up with a Waiters jumper to take a five point league. Where the Heat really succeeded tonight was off of steals. They were constantly jumping the lane to pick off passes which led to a lot of baskets for them on the other end.
The Heat hit a stride once again, and looked like they couldn't miss, this time with Kelly Olynyk leading the charge.
Often times this season, Miami has chucked jumpers, darted into the lane for fouls not buckets and turned over the ball with terrible passes. That wasn't the issue at all tonight as the Heat scored almost effortlessly and in rhythm. I haven't mentioned him much, but Dwyane Wade continued his excellence tonight, he had 15 points at the four minute mark and really picked up the slack of the slumping Josh Richardson. He was also a menace on defense continuing his block streak.
Waiters' ability to generate instant offense was on full display tonight, as he scored on some great plays. The Thunder found some life near the end of the quarter, but Miami would still take an eleven point lead into the fourth quarter.
Fourth Quarter:
The Thunder were hot to start scoring on two consecutive possessions, (one controversial bucket). Still Miami, didn't slow down their offensive assault, as Josh Richardson finally found his legs. Wade completely exploited Raymond Felton knocking down some beautiful turn arounds in his face. Even in his final season, he complete out classes defenders.
Miami continued to be vicious on the defensive end, and the Thunder just had no response. Miami opened the floodgates on the other end, going on a 15-3 run and taking a 19 point lead.
Around the 6 minute mark, the Thunder showed some signs of life in an attempt to make a comeback. Luckily, Dragic would continue to breathe fire and silence the crowd. Still, despite Miami showing some highlight level offense, the Thunder wouldn't stay down, coming back in the final two minutes led by Paul George.
With the crowd erupting, Miami would slow things down and that led to an amazing James Johnson put back dunk, and soon after another Bam dunk to silence things once again. The Thunder got desperate in the final seconds, chucking up threes, but it wasn't enough.
The Heat would keep their composure in the final seconds and take a huge road win.

Lights, Camera, Sound, from the start of the location shoot Robs job is to get everything setup while Elaine preps the guests. Once location shooting is complete it's time to take the footage and audio to the Let Em Laugh editing suite where it's time to colour grade, audio master and edit raw materials into the show the you get to watch every two weeks.
Robs approach to editing this show is to feed off Elaine's excitement and take note of her reaction to a guests answer or energy. By doing this the edit becomes easy, as you find "gold" from both Elaine and the Guest and build the show around them.
Shannon Multimedia is arranging to bring this show to a wider audience in the coming months, however you can watch the episodes right now simply by clicking the Simply Zen logo below. Simply Zen is created in partnership with Bell Community One.
