(00:06):
Hey guys.
Welcome to Heart to Talk thepodcast.
I am the host and creator TeresaCaesar.
My intention for this podcast isto deliver to you wisdom,
inspiration, and consciousness.
Through solo episodes andconversations amongst insightful
people.
It is my greatest honor to bringto you talks that come from the.

(00:33):
Hey, beautiful souls.
I'm so excited to drop a shortand sweet episode about the
topic I'm super excited aboutand that is Daily Rituals, and I
just felt called to share withyou something I started to
implement.
One thing that is so importantto know is the things that you
do every day, especially firstthing, are gonna really not only

(00:53):
set the tone for your day, setthe tone for your week, your
month, your years, your life.
The micro things, the choices,the habits make up the future,
and so that's why I'm so huge onritual the daily practices and
habits.
That really helped me.

(01:14):
I like to say, be the creator ofmy destiny.
I'm not on autopilot.
I'm taking control of the wheel.
A lot of people ask like, whatdo you do?
What's your like?
Rituals?
You know, a lot of people arevery curious my gosh, how do you
do it?
And it's really about beingstructured, right?
So I'm very structured onSundays, I, I've talked about it
on previous episodes, I call'emSacred Sundays.

(01:34):
I literally write out the mustget done things the bills to be
paid, the appointments to bemade.
But then I also write the goalsI have in health in my business
and with my children.
Your day and your weeks shouldhave all the things that are the
most important to you that makeyour life feel fulfilled,
purposeful, and connected.

(01:55):
And that's so important becauseif we get really focused on the
productivity and the must dos,that's when we feel burnt out.
Disconnected and unmotivated, sothat's really important.
That's the key to this.
So, but each morning when I wakeup, I light my candle and I
literally write like, what arethe needle movers for the day?
Like I gotta work, today, get,sports physical appointment

(02:17):
made.
And then I started to implementfor the mindfulness section,
because I get bored sometimes ofmy same old routines.
I used to write like threeaffirmations, you know, five to
10 gratitudes.
And of course I always pull.
From my affirmation deck,sometimes one, two affirm, two
affirmations, sometimes three.
But what I started to implementis the Power Nine, which was

(02:39):
created by Lori Harder.
So if you don't know who LoriHarder is, she's literally like
my favorite podcast.
She also has created thisincredible skincare you could
drink called Glowy.
She's just freaking amazing,authentic, and I just resonate
with her so much.
She talks about her dailypractice and ritual is the power

(02:59):
nine.
Within the power nine.
It's three things you'regrateful for.
It is three things you'reexcited for and three things
you're manifesting.
So I started to do this withmyself'cause I was kind of
getting bored of my otherritual, so I was like, I'm gonna
try this new ritual.
But it's so powerful because itforces you to really focus on
gratitude.

(03:20):
The things that you're excitedabout because we're always so
focused on what hasn't got doneyet.
What I'm still missing, the lackin our lives.
And then the manifesting forcesyou to get clarity.
And for myself, even though Ifeel like I'm, I'm a powerful
manifester, I'm constantlymanifesting, it force me to get
really clear and solidify.
But it's even more powerful whenyou do it with a partner.

(03:44):
So I invite you to do it with apartner or a very close friend,
and you wanna make sure it's atrusted inner circle.
Person, that's not gonna benegative.
'cause when you start to talkabout the things you're excited
about and what you'remanifesting, you definitely
wanna protect that, high vibeand that energy anything that's

(04:04):
gonna be negative and lower thatvibration or vision so I did
this with an incredible friendof mine, someone I'm super close
with, and it was easy for themto be the things they're
grateful for, the things they'reexcited about.
But when it came to themanifestation piece.
This person was like, that's,it's interesting.

(04:24):
I'm not really manifestinganything.
So this is why I felt called todo this episode because I think
a lot of times we are not evenclear or even know what we want
or we do, but we haven't reallyput it into a sentence.
We haven't shared it with oneperson that we trust that can
maybe hold us accountable.
And so the point of this is, ifyou don't know.

(04:48):
What you're working towards orwhat you want to bring to
fruition to manifest, thenyou're not living consciously.
You're on autopilot, right?
Unless you're like, okay, andyou're like, I've manifested
everything.
But there's always stillsomething because we are
growing.
And growing is life.
To grow and to evolve meansyou're living the people that

(05:09):
stop growing.
I do believe inside you, youjust start to wither you.
You just die.
When you stay stuck in allyou've ever done.
You know the system set up toI'm gonna retire and do nothing
unless you have a hobby orsomething you're creative at.
We are meant to grow.
So I just challenge you to thinkabout what are the things that

(05:31):
you want.
Start there.
You've gotta start with desire,is it a relationship?
Is it health?
Is it prosperity?
And then just make that clearstatement for yourself.
Write it down, and then findthat person to share it with.
It's just such a game changerwhen you commit to one daily

(05:53):
practice by yourself or withsomeone else.
That allows you to connect withyourself, your life with those
around you in the world aroundyou.
I'm just so excited for you allto share the power of nine with
those you love and those thatare closest to you, to just see
how your connection deepens tojust see transformation when

(06:16):
you're going on a walk.
You can talk about A, B, C, D,but when you're on a walk with
your partner and you start.
To bring these things up, such agame changer.
You start to learn about thethings that they deeply want.
And you might think, althoughyou're close with someone, you
realize, wow, I didn't realizethat they really want this.
Or they're creating this intheir life.

(06:37):
And then same thing with yourkids.
As a matter of fact, I am gonnastart doing this with my kids as
well.
So as we wrap up, I'm gonnashare with you my Power Nine for
today, what I wrote in myjournal.
And so the first thing, thethree things I'm grateful for is
I'm honestly grateful that I hadan incredible night's sleep.
I am so grateful.

(06:58):
For the love I have in my life.
I was thinking about it thisweek, like how different my
relationships are and who's inmy life and the closeness like
my kids.
I just felt just gratitude forthe love.
Love is just amazing in my liferight now and I'm honestly
grateful for never giving up,for always showing up for myself

(07:19):
when I'm tired, when it's hard,when it's scary.
And then the next is.
The three things I'm excitedabout.
I'm excited that my kids will becoming back.
It's my weekend with the kids.
I am excited that I have a fewfun trips, in October.
I'm super excited about that andI'm actually really excited.

(07:39):
I am gonna be hosting thisincredible event called Booed Up
with a Boo.
I feel just so honored to beasked by Pastor Donald Walker,
who is leading this incollaboration with Dr.
Monisha Porter.
And as a matter of fact, I'mgonna be doing an episode with
them coming up.
So stay tuned for that aboutthis event.
Boot up with the boo.

(08:00):
Anyways, more to come on that.
So I'm excited to be their host,an mc of the event.
This event's gonna be October25th from 9:00 AM to two.
And then what I'm manifesting,because my manifestations are
just so.
Deeply in the works and verydeeply personal.

(08:21):
I won't share them yet becauseI'm waiting for them to come to
fruition.
It's kind of like saying silentmoves loud results.
That is my Power nine, excludingmy three manifestations, because
they're just in this sacredprocess right now.
The other ritual I wanna shareis the card pulling from my.

(08:41):
Powerful signature affirmationdeck.
All, all these affirmations I'vecreated for myself over time.
'cause I needed to think a newthought believe in a
possibility, and that belief hasallowed me to become.
Who I am and, and I'm stillbecoming.
And so then when I turned itinto a reality and that tangible
product that people can buy,talk about a manifestation.

(09:02):
This was one of the things I'vemanifested.
I remember just being like oneday, three years ago, I dream of
having a card deck and.
What came true in the right timeand all that.
So anyways, so what I'm gonna dowith you, although I'm going to,
sorry, if you hear thisshuffling, I, ask you to just
think about a question you havein your heart, if you want

(09:22):
clarity or direction or what doyou feel called you must believe
in today or for the week.
I'm gonna be drawing two cardsfrom this deck.
Okay.
And I want you to just hold anintention.
All right, so I have card A, andthen I also have card B.

(09:45):
Now I do this on Instagramstories and it's always easier
'cause it's like a visualvisualize that.
I pull two cards from myaffirmation deck.
So I have card A and B.
So now in your mind, what's thefirst card that you feel called
to choose?
Is it A or B?
So pick a card.
B, and now I'm gonna read to youwhat affirmation A is.

(10:08):
I'm turning every situation inmy favor.
If you chose card A, youraffirmation is, I'm turning
every situation in my favor.
So how you do that is you say itto yourself.
Write it down and remember itbecause you might be called to
lean into this.
Sometime during your day, ormaybe there's a situation in

(10:31):
your life and you maybe areupset about, you feel
victimized, but how can you turnit in your favor?
Turning every situation in yourfavor is making it for your
benefit.
So if there's a job loss or arelationship loss you're like,
wow, it's for me to apply forthat job.
That's gonna be better for me.
More money.
Take me to a new level.

(10:52):
The relationship ending, this isan opportunity for me to love
myself even more.
So I love this affirmation.
I actually created a podcast onthis.
So if this is your card, pull,look back through my episodes
and look up how to turn everysituation in your favor.
Now, if you chose card B.
That is I honor myself for whereI am now and bless where I'm

(11:15):
going.
So if you chose card B, youraffirmation is, I honor myself
for where I am now and blesswhere I'm going.
I love this affirmation.
So that you're being called tojust celebrate yourself like
where you are now.
Think about how many times, andI think I talked about it
earlier in this episode, we'realways striving, but feeling

(11:36):
like we're never arriving,right?
We're so focused on the future,on an outcome.
I'm gonna be happier when thishappens.
I'll feel better.
But it's like honor where youare.
Look at the steps and thethings.
That you had to, go through toget to where you are.
So sit in that was gonna forceyou to lean into gratitude, I
honor myself for the resilience.
I've done so many things, butthat doesn't mean I can't be

(11:59):
excited about a future.
Simultaneously, you're beingcalled with this affirmation to
be simultaneously in bothenergies, to be like, I love
where I'm, I've, I've succeeded.
I am success now.
Right?
But I bless where I'm goingbecause I know the seeds that I
have planted are going toblossom.
They're going to flourish.
So I bless where I'm going.

(12:19):
'cause you might not know allthe hows and.
The full picture of the path toget to that where you are going.
But if you are consciouslychoosing your days.
Your choices, your habits andbeing really clear about what
you're manifesting, you're gonnaknow where you wanna go.

(12:40):
It gives you direction.
It's your North star.
Circling back to knowing what itis that you want.
And knowing what it is that youwant to bring to fruition.
So powerful.
A, I am turning every situationin my favor and B, I honor
myself for where I am now andbless where I'm going.

I don't tune into my fears.
I tune into my future self.
I tune into my empowered selfwith the rituals.

affirmation, pulling out thethree gratitudes, the three
things you're excited about, andthe three things you're

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
