Hi everyone, welcome to SandyKay Nutrition, health and
Lifestyle Queen.
Today, my guest is BrendaFaruggia of so Brilliant.
Brenda has already been on mypodcast.
She was on episode 260, quantumJourneys.
We talked about energy healingbeam therapy, and this week we

(01:52):
are talking about how to protectour energy in a world where our
energy is so vulnerable.
I think this is just such animportant conversation, and I
think it's even more importantnow because we don't even
realize where we are actuallyhaving an energy exchange,

(02:18):
because we live in this virtualworld a lot of the time, and so
Brenda and I are going toactually break this down and
provide you with some tangibleinformation where you can learn
discernment and learn a littlebit about oh my gosh, like I'm

(02:40):
giving my energy away here.
Is this why I feel depleted?
Because you may not evenrealize it?
I'm going to ask you to sharethis episode.
Share it on Facebook, share iton Instagram, share it with a
friend through message orwhatever works for you, but I

(03:01):
ask you to share it because thisis how I've been getting
amazing guests and topics everysingle week, because this is how
people learn a lot of the time.
Yes, I post on social media.
By the way, follow me onInstagram, sandy K Nutrition,

(03:22):
facebook, tiktok anywhere you dosocial media.
I'm on YouTube, I'm on Rumble.
It's Sandy K Nutritioneverywhere.
So, yes, I do post on thosesocial media platforms just to
create awareness.
However, when you share with afriend, I think it's just more

(03:43):
powerful.
However, when you share with afriend, I think it's just more
powerful, and when you engagewith my content, it's also very
powerful, because I don't knowif a lot of people realize that
when you like or comment orshare my post on social media,
you are actually helping thealgorithm to show my post to

(04:05):
other people.
And, yes, it's an energyexchange, which is everything
that we are talking about today.
My friends, if you like mycontent, tell me you like it,
because that actually creates apositive energy exchange and it
is a form of reciprocity.

(04:27):
I consider it as a thank you.
So if you go to somebody'shouse for dinner and they make a
wonderful dinner for you, doyou say thank you?
Yes, you do so.
When you do these kinds ofthings for me, of things for me,

(04:51):
it's a thank you.
That's what it is, andeverything that I do is passion
over profit.
So when you do this for me, itjust it helps me to keep going.
And it's over five years and Iam just about to hit 1.4 million
downloads.
You guys, I'm not a celebrity,I'm not anybody, you know, in

(05:12):
this giant world of podcasters,but what I'm doing is I'm trying
to put good out there and I'mtrying to put information out
there, not to dictate what ishealth, but to help you decipher
your best health.
Something that I also do is Iwrite.

(05:34):
I am an English literaturegraduate as well as a registered
holistic nutritionist, as wellas a certified metabolic balance
coach nutritionist as well as acertified metabolic balance
coach.
And I'm some chick who's goingthrough menopause without a
thyroid gland because I hadthyroid cancer at 41.
So my entire passion andpremise in this world is to

(06:00):
share that there are differentways that we can do things
outside of what mainstream mediaor what one doctor tells us or
what one influencer tells us.
So if you resonate with whatI'm doing, please follow me on

(06:22):
the socials Sandy K Nutritioneverywhere and follow my short
essays that I write.
I am starting to go a littlebit more on to mediumcom.
I'm on Substacksandycruisesubstackcom.
Follow me there.

(06:42):
These are not articles to tellyou what is healthy and what is
not.
It's just there to help you, toexplore what makes sense for
you in your health and to helpyou age better.
Now another endeavor is that Iam working with a company called

(07:05):
TKG Partners and RippleDistribution, where they
strategically build brands.
So I have been brought on asthe Director of Business
Operations and Brand Manager forthe Health and Beauty Channel.

(07:26):
This is my husband's companyand we have partnered because
it's such an amazing synergy.
He already does this.
He's been doing this for many,many, many years, bringing
brands to market on a B2B levelto large retailers.

(07:48):
So I've joined because I'm likeman.
I know a lot of smaller brandsthat can scale up and that are
doing incredible things, butpeople don't know about it.
So my role is to help bringbetter brands on the shelves in

(08:12):
the health and beauty channel.

And now let's cut on through tothis amazing episode with Brenda
Faruja of so Brilliant.
Hi everyone, welcome to Sandy KNutrition, health and Lifestyle

(08:57):
Queen.
Today I have a return guest.
Her name is Brenda Faruja of soBrilliant.
Brenda is a transformationalquantum energy healer with a
natural ability to removenegative energy and spiritual

themselves from negativeinfluences and elevate their
consciousness from negativeinfluences and elevate their
consciousness.
She offers practical, intuitive, relatable spiritual approaches
to help you raise yourvibration and unlock your full
potential.

(09:48):
Now, we did have a recordingprior to this about beam therapy
and that one will be coming outbefore this one.
But today we're going to talkabout how to protect our energy
in our world, where energy isjust so vulnerable, and I feel
like, more than ever, aconversation like this is really
, really important.
Only because we're giving ourenergy away everywhere on social

(10:09):
media, through technology Thinkabout chat, gpt, like AI, like
we're giving ourselves away inways that we're not even
thinking about.
And Brenda and I had aconversation the other day it
was last week and I was like, ohmy God, we need to record about

(10:33):
this because it's just such animportant topic that people
don't think about.
So I'm so, so happy to know youand I'm so happy that you're
here again, brenda.
So, with that, welcome, thankyou for coming back.

Brenda Farrugia (10:49):
Thanks for having me again.
It's always a pleasure chattingwith you, Sandy.
These conversations just kindof flow and it's a lot of fun.

Yeah, they do.
They do.
So for those of you who haven'tlistened to the first episode
with you, I think it's importantthat you just kind of give us a
brief introduction of yourstory.
Maybe let us know how you justgot into this reading of energy.

Okay, well, you know, sometimes we're just born
with it and that's really mystory.
I was born with it.
I could see angels when I washappy, because I was in a higher
vibration.
When I was sad, I would seedark beings let's call them the
devil things like that.
But you just assume thateveryone can see that like it's
just like breathing, so it's nodifference.

(11:37):
It's just something that'salways been with me.
It wasn't until I started totell my mom oh, mom, careful,
there's that thing in the room.
Or mom, the energy of the houseis shifting, this is not good,
the dark things.
And she'd be like, what are youtalking about?
Stop talking like that.
People are going to thinkyou're weird.
And it wasn't until like a veryyoung age where I really

(12:01):
started to notice.
I can't talk to the averageperson about this, because I
could see dark things jumpinginto, say, my father, and then
he would act not so nice, hiseyes would glaze over, and I'm
just like I told my dad thatwasn't you.
That thing just jumped intoyour field.
You did that and now you'reback.
So, as I got older, when Iwould ask my friends hey guys,

(12:22):
do you see that, do you sensethat.
Do you hear things They'd belike no.
It then became very apparent.
I was to hide it because it wasnot something that was common
and it was different.
And then my mom's voice wouldalways say stop telling people
they're going to throw you intolike a loony bin or something
like that.
So it scared me.
I didn't want to be different,I didn't want to be weird.

You know, I think the energy of this whole world
is changing where and I get it,I mean I so obviously I'm.
I never was attuned to anythinglike that when I was younger,
but what I was attuned to isthat the way that I thought

(13:05):
about things was different.
Yes, so, and I'm an Englishliterature graduate, and it was
so funny, brenda, when I was inuniversity I would have
interpretations.
You know, you would interpretShakespeare and you would
interpret all of these texts,and I always had a different

(13:26):
interpretation.
I was never like everyone elseand so I was almost embarrassed
about it and I was like why am Idifferent?
And I wrote a lot of poetryback in those days because I
felt like that helped me to beokay with me when I was
different from everyone else.

Yeah, yeah, you find your outlet.
My outlet was running into theforest and we had a forest close
by and I would sit there withall the animals and I used to
have these little birds runningaround bunnies, and I would talk
to the trees and animalsbecause they understood me.
And you know, that's where Ifelt the closest to being home
was in nature.
And you know, as I started torealize this, I could hear

(14:11):
people's entire self speaking.
So now I'm having aconversation with a 3D person,
but I'm getting so muchinformation from them, I said,
well, I'm not supposed to knowthis much information of them.
That's not appropriate, so Iwould shut it down and not
listen to it.
So I've learned how to live inthis 3D world, although there's
so much information beyond it,and now I only tap in when I

(14:35):
choose to tap in.
It's easier now, but before itwas like all coming at me all
the time and I'm just like, likewhy did you just say that to me
?
I didn't say anything.
Yeah, you did.
But then I realized no, no, I'mhearing something else speak,
because people have entities intheir field dark, darkness and

(14:55):
that I can hear it very well andpeople's darkness does not like
me.
So it says some very choicewords to me now and then.
But now I realize it's a veryindependent from the person
itself and I can distinguish allthat, so just adapt yeah.

Like here's the thing I started to be interested
and really to understand energyabout.
This would be about 2011, 2012.
And you know my story that Istarted to get into feng shui
because I'm like, okay, energy,and I kind of started to play

(15:34):
around with how the energy in myhome felt and how I can move
energy and how energy can bestagnant, and so that's how it
began with me.
And now, whatever 12, 14 yearslater, however long it is now I
feel like in almost everysituation, brenda, I can look at

(16:02):
somebody, a complete stranger,and I could feel something, that
I know something about them,even though I might not know
them.
So maybe, and you know, like alot of us have this, just like
you said, like we're all kind ofborn with this inherent ability

(16:23):
, and I guess you could call itintuition and energy, and you
know all these things mixedtogether.
How would you explain that?

Well, you know, we all are connected, for sure.
And sometimes the simplestthing would be when you think of
someone and they call you orthey text you, how did that
happen, right?
That's a very simpleexplanation.
Or when you're somewhere, youcan feel someone staring at you,
or you just know their presence, is there.
Well, if you didn't, if weweren't energy, then how can we

(16:55):
sense that?
Or you walk in a room you cansense if a room is happy or if
it's tense or if it's sad.
Why?
Why can we do that?
Because we're energetic beingsand we're tapping into energy
all the time.
And until we all can do it,it's just as you start to
realize that you can do it orfeel it.
Or you know a very quick thingthat I do with some clients who

(17:17):
don't understand energy I go,just imagine you have an
energetic ball in your hand andjust sit quietly and just feel
it and like, some people arelike, oh my, I can feel it.
And some people say, well, Ican't do it.
Well, if you're going to sayyou can't do it, you're going to
shut it off in your brain andyou can't do it.
So just be open-minded and sayI'm going to try, be open and

(17:38):
that innate ability will come inand you'll feel that ball and
people will feel it growing.
We're energetic beings.
It's like.
It's so real to me that I don'tyou know, even question it.
But if someone were to questionit I just say you know what?
Try it, think of someone.
They'll call you.
Send love to your kid, positivethoughts to your kid.

(17:59):
Your kid might call you, say Ifelt your love.
We were very connected to ourchildren, right?

Yeah, I think that depends on your kid, of course,
and you know how much partyingthey're doing, which is, I think
.
I think that's an importantthing to mention, because don't
you think that, brenda, like inthis modern day, there's all
these numbing agents, like evenespecially during COVID I don't

(18:28):
know if you remembered like whenyou were looking at any social
media, it was all these midlifemoms getting drunk, talking
about wine o'clock right, and soit's numbing that inherent
ability, whether it's drinking,scrolling on social media,
whatever it is, you're numbingit right.

Yeah, yeah, I know, and I deal with so many
teenagers that are numbing in somany different ways.
But it's that a lot of thesechildren, they're so sensitive
and they feel the heartache ofthe world and they don't know
how to deal with it.
But when you give them thatpower to know that you can use
this in your favor and you canprotect yourself in other ways,

(19:11):
they can slowly learn how tocope with that extra energy
they're getting and slowly stopthe numbing agent.
But you know, I never tellsomeone to go cold turkey
because that would be unfair.
It's something that they willlearn and grow and start to and
they'll say hey, brenda you knowwhat?
My social media is gone down tolike 20%.

(19:31):
I'm out and about having funwith my kids.
Thank you so much.
But some people will go into aroom and they'll get so
overwhelmed by the anxiety outthere, the confusion, the anger,
that they go home so drainedand they just like they're like
I can't be out in public becauseof it.
But when you learn you'resensitive, you can put up that
protection barrier, go out, havea great time, come back not

(19:54):
tired, fulfilled because youwent out, had a great time, and
instead of absorbing negativeenergy, you can actually send
out positive energy.
And that's what I do.
I just send out love and lighteverywhere I go.
So I don't get tired because Idon't pick up anybody's negative
energy.
I just send out positive energy.
But it's a practice.

I was going to say that's.
That's that.
I think that's a skill.
Like we're going to talk aboutthat and give some actual ways
in which you can start to learnyour own ways, because obviously
, in this podcast, we're nottelling you how to be.

(20:35):
We're not like you're going tohave to.
We're giving you some things tothink about.
That's the name of my newpodcast coming, but this one is
separate because this is longform, but you know what I mean.
Like we're just talking aboutways and then you have to
decipher resonance and go ohyeah, this actually makes a lot

(20:55):
of sense to me.
I'm going to try this, andyou're definitely great at
giving different tools indifferent situations for
individuals to try.
So today we're talking morespecifically about how to
protect your energy, especiallyin a situation where you might

(21:17):
be vulnerable, and I think thisis really key, because when
we're vulnerable and we're inthat vulnerable space, we may
let our guard down, we may notknow that we are open, right,

(21:39):
and then when we're open I'm notsure if I'm describing it right
, but when we're open like thatthen we kind of make ourselves a
little bit more vulnerable.
Do you want to get into that alittle bit?

Yeah, first, I'd like to say that there are
some people that are naturallyopen all the time and they don't
even know it, and I was one ofthose people, extremely open.
Anyone could read my energy,that had the ability to do it,
and I didn't even know how toclose myself and protect myself,
and because of that I was takenadvantage of energetically by

(22:12):
many different people.
But I always think all thoseexperiences were my challenges
to learn more about how toprotect myself so that I can
teach it.
Oh, you know, I tried this.
It didn't work.
And I tried that it didn't work, but I tried that In this
circumstance this worked.
And then I just give all thisinformation so people can try
what works for them.

(22:32):
But those people who areempathic, sensitive to energy,
we do have a tendency to be moreopen, which is a blessing and a
curse, because when you go foran energy healing with a good
person, you will get atremendous healing because
you're so open.
But on the other side of thatis you can also pick up negative

(22:52):
energy or be bombarded withnegative energy easier.
So it's kind of got that.
You know that good and badthing to it, right?

Yeah, and you know, I'm planning a weekend away
with some of my best friendsfrom childhood and they're still
my best friends and there's aspa there and you, unless I know
them and unless, like, okay,maybe I'm a little overly

(23:31):
cautious Because, just like whatyou said, if you're protective
enough with your energy, it'snot going to impact you.
But I feel like over the lastfew months I'm in a little bit
more of a vulnerable state, soI'd rather just kind of harness
and and almost like hold andtake care of my energy yeah, in

(23:54):
a situation does that make senselike it does, and and what
you're doing is you're followingyour intuition.

At this stage, you know what.
No one's coming into my energyfield, and that is your right.
I believe the protection of ourenergy field comes with
self-love and discernment, whichis something we build over time
.
So I believe it's a-okay to say, no, that person is not coming
close to me, no, I'm not going,I don't feel comfortable in this

(24:23):
situation, I'm leaving.
But when we're pleasers and wedon't have that self-love or
boundaries, even though we knowour body's telling us it's not
good for us, we'll still walkinto it because I want to hurt
that person's feeling or I wantto do what all my friends are
doing, and if they think this isa good thing, I'm going to go
jump in.
And then the more sensitiveones can actually have the most

(24:44):
detriment from the experience,whereas your friends were fine,
but you weren't.
So the fact that you'relistening to yourself is
beautiful.
It's all about empowerment anddoing what feels good to you.

Even in a social situation.
So this is just an interestingobservation that probably a lot
of people don't think about.
I've always been more reservedwith my energy, meaning I'm not
touchy-feely with people I don'toverly, you know, and I don't

(25:25):
like people to overly touch meeither.

And like I don't know.
I'm laughing because I can seeyou in a room where people want
to touch you and you're like no,but it's because you have a
light, you have an energy andthere are people that are just
attracted to that in a veryinnocent way.
But there also are those energyvampires that will spot you out
and say I need to touch thisgirl and they're going to drain

(25:52):
you and you'll be like I'm sotired, what happened, and you're
very smart that you're justlike hands off.
You know, hands off everyone.

But there is that people pleaser that you
mentioned.
So that aspect it's like a lotof times I struggle with that.
I'm like but I want to be nice,I don't want to be mean, I
don't want to tell that persondon't touch me or kind of pull
away.
So like I don't like peopletouching my hair, I don't like
it.
And for some reason a lot ofpeople want to touch my hair and

(26:26):
I don't know if I'm like Idon't know, but I'm like don't
touch my hair, like I don't likeit.
And I can almost feel this,whether it's intentional or not.
Intentional because I actuallyIntentional or not intentional
because I actually I don't.
I try not to go there Becausesometimes you know you can

(26:48):
misread.
But intentional or notintentional, there and you and I
have talked about this thereare people who will take Right,
you know how you see people in aroom who need to touch everyone
.
Oh yes, yes, right.
You know how you see people ina room who need to touch
everyone.
Oh, yes, yes, right, andthey're very, very flirty and I

(27:08):
got to touch you here and I gotto touch you here.
It's like they're taking alittle tiny piece of every
person to gain that energy forthemselves, whether it's their
intent or not.
And so I'm I'm trying to getbetter at that, brenda.

But I recently told someone who loves to hug me
and my daughter.
I said no more because I canfeel like and you know, I put up
my protection.
It's like I'm not here, I dothe work, I have my light.
I'm not here to just give itaway at will for someone to take
it.
It's mine right Now.
If I'm in a state where I'msending it out, love, yeah, take

(27:48):
it everyone.
That's what I'm doing right now.
But when I'm unsuspecting andyou come at me, for that I've
actually said no.
And now the person doesn't wantto be around me at all.
Well, of course, because I'mnot feeding what they wanted,
unconsciously perhaps, maybeit's not intentional, but that's
what was happening and I justlike okay, enough's, enough,
right, but it's all aboutself-love.

(28:09):
This is, you know, I matter.
But in the past, like you said,I would let anyone do anything
to me.
Yeah, yeah, take whatever.
I'll go home exhausted.
And I you know, brenda, comeout with us.
Yeah, I'll go out again, do itagain, come home exhausted and
I'm like why am I doing this?
Like, what is it in me that'sjust allowing this to happen
over and over?
And it wasn't until I startedto work on myself and really

(28:30):
work on my self, love and say Imatter.
Now I'm very you know veryadamant of where I'm going, who
I'm going with and who taps intomy energy.

Yeah, and I think for anybody who's listening, if
somebody comes into yourenergetic field and either
they're close talking or they'retouching you or touching your
hair, the best way is just to belike how does that make you
feel?
It's kind of like what you'resaying.

(29:03):
There are some times whereyou're like open and you're
accepting and you're like howdoes that make you feel?
It's kind of like what you'resaying.
There are some times whereyou're like open and you're
accepting and you're like I'mokay with this and I'm, I'm
giving the love and I'm feelingthe love.
But then there's sometimeswhere you go and you kind of.
So I guess a good way is justto tap into how you're feeling.

Yeah, exactly it you're.
It comes down to the awarenessof your body how it's feeling,
your intuition, observing andthen being discerning about is
this good or not good for me?
And over time it takes practice.
I used to fail, I'm going to doreally good when I go out, and
then I'm like, oh, I feel somiserably, I couldn't stand up

(29:43):
for myself.
But it's just practice andlearning your boundaries, and
you know, it's just, it's justbeing human.
So you know, we can just be,start to be observing like, oh
my gosh, you know what thisconversation is?
Just making me realize how muchI give and how drained I get
from some of these situations.
You know, and sometimes itdoesn't even have to be physical

(30:04):
contact, it could be somebody's.
Just you know our energy fieldsgo very far, right, so it's
about being aware of where I'mgoing, who I'm going with, and
not everything is can be thatpredictable, obviously, right.

I would love for you to tell the story that you
told me about um one time.

It was a reiki healer oh, I know exactly what
you're going to.
Please tell me that story tellus all the story well, this is.
I was talking to clients andletting them know that when you
are choosing someone to work inyour field, to be discerning, to
be prudent, to do your duediligence, meet the person first

(30:49):
.
And, as I was explaining that,because this is very this is
your temple and you can't justlet anyone tap into it.
So I had a coworker of minebecause I used to do energy work
at work and she's like oh,brenda, I'm scared of Reiki.
I can never do energy work atwork.
And she's like oh, brenda, I'mscared of Reiki.
I can never do Reiki with you,ever, like, because of my
experience.
I go, what was your experience?
And she, she's like I, Ithought I tried Reiki.

(31:13):
I found this girl online.
I went into her house and thehouse felt very dark and gloomy
and I wanted to run but I didn'twant to be rude.
She then took me into herbasement, into a room, and there
was this it was a scary roomwith a scary table and she told
me to lay down and I looked ather like I, what are you going

(31:34):
to do?
She goes I'm going to give youa Reiki session.
And she's like but what are yougoing to do with me.
She says I'm going to give youmy energy.
Well, first all you never wantto practice your energy.
It should never be my energy.
You're getting the flow ofenergy right.
And this girl was terrified.
But she laid down and allowedthis woman, who did not look

(31:57):
healthy, to steal her energy.
When this girl left, she saidshe was sick and felt drained
for days after.
So energy work or Reiki,elicits a lot of stress and fear
.
So she had a session with meand I said this is the way it's
really done.
A, you have to feel comfortable.
Are you comfortable?
Yes, all right, you're notgetting my energy.

(32:19):
You're getting divine energythat flows through me.
I am not the healer, I'm notdoing the work, it's divinity
that's doing the work.
So number one I would say and Itold her this and a lot of
people is a practitioner shouldnever say I'm healing you,
you're getting my energy.
That is not it.
We're acting as a conduit.

(32:39):
We have a gift to do that.
We're creating a healing spacefor you to take the opportunity
to heal.
The healing is you're doing thehealing through the space
provided right.
So, yeah, I've had a lot ofmiraculous healing for people,
but I didn't do it.
I created the same space I didfor the other people, but that
person had allowed it right.

(33:02):
So when you have EGBGBs, thaticky feeling, have the courage
to say I'm leaving.
I always ask my clients before,even when they come.
I say are you comfortable, doyou want to continue?
Because maybe they're not.
I usually do a discovery callfirst, just to ensure the

(33:22):
energy's max.
They can ask me any questions.
So when you're going into apractitioner's office, make sure
they have reviews.
Do they have a website?
Are they showing their picture?
If you ask them, can I speak tosome of your clients directly?
The answer should be absolutely.
How many do you want to speakto?

(33:43):
Nothing should be hidden, youknow, and the space that they
show on their website should bethe space you're going to, not a
secret room in the back oftheir place.
Because a lot of us including mein the past and I have a little
bit still of it are pleasers,and when I would walk into a
dangerous situation, I didn'twant to hurt the person's

(34:04):
feelings, so I would just carrythrough.
I've been to some pretty badhealers that have actually done
more damage than good and Ididn't want to hurt their
feelings.
But that was the old version ofBrenda.
But now through that, throughmy experience and through other
people's experience, I canexplain what to look for.

(34:24):
Another thing we spoke aboutwas the packages.
I don't know if I, but packagesare nice.
I'm not saying, you know, don'tgive people packages because you
can give them a deal on pricing.
But a package should never beforced, never, never be forced.
I mean, have a session if youliked it and you want to inquire

(34:45):
about it, fine.
But if someone says you need tobuy a package or they become
pushy, that's a tale of theinside.
No, no, no, no one should everpush you into an agreement to
have a set amount.
I always tell people, you knowwhat, if you're coming, have a
session once, see how you feeland you know what, if you love

(35:06):
the session, if you would let meknow, then try at least five,
because five can give you hugechanges.
But some people only need onebecause they just allowed so
much healing.
That's all they need.
But I would never force anyone.
So it's that you know thatenergy of that, that desperation
that I I need to keep you as aclient.
You know what A lot of myclients go and come and come and

(35:29):
go.
And I always say you know what?
Now you've tried energy work,you know, go, try different
modalities, but you know what tolook for right.

Okay, that's important to note.
Just be careful of that pushysalesperson feeling when you
feel like you're being pushedinto something.
And another thing that wetouched on was how a lot of
times what can happen and thisis obviously not we're not

(35:59):
putting a blanket statement onall energy healers or even
massage therapists or anybodywho kind of gets into your field
but if you're not gettingbetter and if you're getting
worse, do you want to talk aboutthat?

(36:21):
That be them, yeah kind of kindof keeping you there yeah, this
is.

This is unfortunate and this is what I
see a lot in my practice is.
A lot of times I'm dealing withpeople who have been working
with a practitioner for a verylong time now.
It can be and I just likeanyone in your energy field an
acupuncturist, an energy healer,a Reiki therapist, whatever it
is right and they're saying I'mnot getting better.

(36:46):
And when I said to mypractitioner that I'm leaving
suddenly I even got worse.
I'm feeling sicker.
And when they come to mebecause I have the ability to
tell what I'm seeing and it'snot in every case, but a lot of
cases is that energypractitioner?
I'm going to say they're nothealers, they pretend to be so.

(37:07):
With any, with any career, withany profession there can be,
you know, people in there usingit for the wrong reasons and
sometimes they will use it forthe wrong reason, get clients
and do an energetic core,because they know how I work
with only the family of light,light beings, with love and

(37:27):
light, and everyone has freewill to come see me or not.
But there are otherpractitioners that work with the
other energy, which is more I.
You're my client.
You can't see anyone else andif you go to someone else, I'm
going to hurt you, and they willdo something to their field and
kind of an attach a cord, anenergetic cord, and if they feel
that client's not coming enough, they'll tug on the cord so

(37:50):
they'll make them feel sick.
And then, oh, I need to go seethe person.
And then, if they get fed up,there's their inner being saying
you know, this isn't good foryou.
They start to wake up and sayyou know, this isn't good for
you.
They start to wake up and sayyou know what I'm leaving you.
They can actually get evenworse and that's because that
practitioner may be doingsomething to hurt the person.
So what happens when they comesee me is I actually have to cut

(38:12):
all those energetic cords,repair their field and say if
that practitioner calls you,texts you, no contact done,
you're clear from them, butdon't go back to them.
Right?
They don't have to necessarilysee me, but at least now do your
due diligence and go withsomeone who feels better to you,
right?
A lot of people meet the wrongpractitioners because they're in

(38:36):
a bad space at that time, sothey're lower energy, they're
attracting lower energy andthat's what happened to me.
My practitioner that I used wasactually harming me.
She told me once this is when Iwas like I didn't even know I
had a gift.
Like she said to me, you'llnever get as more powerful than
me.
What did that mean?

(38:57):
It went over my head, you know,didn't even make sense.
But somebody heard her say thatshe goes.
You better watch out.
Look what she said to you.
I said no, no, no, she reallycares for me, she's helping me.
But then, years later, I foundout how much damage she did to
my energetic field that I had tohave repaired by someone much
kinder and much more loving.
So there's a little thing inthe background that people

(39:21):
aren't aware of, so thing in thebackground that people aren't
aware of.
So the best advice I can giveis do your due diligence and,
let's say, you start workingwith a practitioner or you're
telling your friends, hey, I'mgoing to go work with this
person, and they all go.
Are you sure you want to workwith that?
They might be seeing somethingthat you don't see and they're
trying to protect you.
So be open-minded.
You know, say you know what.

(39:42):
Or if you missed an appointment, did they get angry that you
missed the appointment?
Do they want you to pay for theappointment.
Oh yeah, feel their tone right.
I went to a beautifulpractitioner, an osteopath, and
I honestly missed herappointment.
I did, you know?
And she says you know what,brenda, this is your first
appointment, big deal, justreschedule.

(40:03):
I said, well, I'll pay if youdon't even worry about it.
It would be fine if she saidpay like a missed fee.
But there was a kindness there.
I could feel it and I trustedher with my energy.
But sometimes I hear the horrorstories.
One lady was going to thispractitioner actually was being
done remotely some girl in thestates she was seeing and she

(40:24):
told her I need to stop coming.
And you know what she said.
She said, no, you have to keepcoming, but now your price is
going higher.
I mean, who does that?
So warning signs, warning signs, warning signs.

Yes.

Yes, and when you.

I think a very important point to just kind of
stand on for a second is whenyou are in a lower vibrational
state.
Right, you may be attractinglower vibrational help.
So I just think it's soimportant to just kind of pause

(41:05):
for a second and think aboutthat so often.
And when you vibrate low okay,we're not always a lot of times
it relates to our physicalillness that we may be having.
I have a sore back, I need togo see a massage therapist, but
how am I vibrating?
How am I feeling?

(41:27):
Am I feeling low overall?
So the reason I say that is Iremember after I had my thyroid
out, brenda, I got with apractitioner and it was like I
could never get better.
And then it was like you need todo this test now, and this test

(41:51):
is $500.
And now you need to do thistest and let's do a little bit
more investigation with thistest.
And meanwhile, bit moreinvestigation with this test,
and meanwhile, thousands andthousands of dollars later, I'm
like this doesn't feel right,like I'm not getting better.
And so during that time Iactually started to work with a

(42:11):
shaman because vibrationally Iwas very low and I was in that
victim state.
You know, my daughter had justhad cancer.
Now I have cancer and I can'tfeel like who I used to be.
So I worked with a practitionerand honestly, you know how you
say there was people who justkind of saved you.

(42:34):
In situations that saved you, Istill look back at her and go.
I feel like she almost, like,picked me up and pulled me out
of that situation and set medown gently and said no, we're
going to go from here, I'm goingto help you, and she did.
So I think that these littleimportant notes are important to

(43:01):
take note of, especially now,because people can do damage,
even virtually, and we shouldtalk about that one thing that

(43:22):
blows my mind.

I'm more of a content creator.
I'm not one that pulls inbecause there's so many things
on here.
There's a lot of good stuff andthere's a lot of not so.
But sometimes if I'm justtaking a peek, I get really like
blown away.
And this.
I may not be popular for sayingthis, but there's some energy
healers out there that will sayI'm going to give you this
energy, say yes to it right now,say yes.

(43:44):
And then people say they'refeeling and they'll make
comments.
I say yes, I'm feeling theenergy.
Yeah, you're feeling the energy, but where is that energy
coming from people?
Why?
I'm not saying they're all withmalintent, but you really need
to be careful who you're sayingyes to, and you know people can

(44:05):
send you energy just by sendingit without your intent.
Now they're saying say yes tothis energy and then watch their
words.
They might say my energy.
They're not.
You know creating a safe spaceto allow divine to come through.
And they're saying you knowcreating a safe space to allow
divine to come through andthey're saying say yes.
So I would Cautious, cautionpeople to be careful what

(44:27):
they're saying yes to and beingso open to a meditation like
that or energy healing.
A lot of clients come in and say, brenda, I did this thing
online, I got this like I was, Ifelt good, and since then I'm
having nightmares and I don'tknow what's going on.
I'm not the same person andthey have interference in their
field, which we have to clear.
And a learned lesson be careful.

(44:49):
What you say yes to this isyour field, protect it.
And it's great that story yousaid about that person that was
taking advantage.
Your inner being woke you up andsay this isn't right and you
listened.
So a lot of us will get thatthis isn't right and we'll
ignore, and that's the self-lovething.

(45:10):
But as you start to really tapinto your intuition and listen
what I do, I wake up everymorning and I ask for
discernment and wisdom and thatmy higher mind, divine mind,
lead my day, because I I used tokind of live life through my
emotional response, my, I don'tknow my need to help everyone

(45:34):
and it always got me in trouble.
So I now I I'm asking for youknow that connection to like
show me the wisdom, show me that, show me what's really going on
here.
That's another powerful ask.
Show me what's really going onhere, you know, reveal the truth
about this person and they willslip up and say something evil

(45:54):
and you'll be like I knew itright, yes, and it you know.

one thing I will say, and maybe you've heard this
if you dull your innate abilityto be able to sense these
things, then it's going to beharder.
It's kind of going back alittle bit to what we talked

(46:22):
about, but I want to ask youthis have you ever heard okay,
you know, back in the day theyused to call alcohol spirits.
I don't know, because, like I'mnot either way, I'm always
about the balance.
I'll have a few drinks here andthere in certain situations.
I don't drink very often but Ihave heard that there's a reason

(46:45):
why alcohol is called spiritsbecause you kind of open
yourself up energetically topotential issues.
What are your thoughts on that?

You can give me a whole different track here.

Still, still, I had to bring it up because we're
talking about being able to tapinto that energy, so it's
important to say certain thingscan numb that for you.

Yeah, yeah, I was a big drinker back in the
day and those were my darkestdays.
I constantly got into troublebecause my interference was so
high.
I no longer drink, I am muchmore clear and I live a
healthier, more positive lifeand make positive choices.
Is there a correlation there?
Absolutely, from my perspective.

(47:35):
But am I going to tell peoplethey shouldn't drink or not to
drink?
Not my business, but it's niceto know that.
You know it might havesomething.
One thing that I would totally,very firmly say do not get
passed out in a bar, like, donot drink excessively that you
pass out because you are so open.

(47:55):
Entities will walk into yourfield and I do a lot of
clearings of those cases andthey'll say oh, you know, my
40th birthday, I got soplastered I got passed out.
Since then I haven't been thesame.
Yeah, so kind of your point.
We need to be careful wherewe're at, what we're doing and
keeping our field clear, yeah.

(48:17):
So, yeah, good, goodconversation.
There'm not going to take youoff on a wild run here, because
that's kind of my specialty, butyeah, we'll keep this to what
this is today.

Okay, no, that's fair.
I just think it's important tobring it up, yeah.
People don't realize thatcertain things can numb and dull
these natural senses.

Well, think about I don't know if this is
too controversial to say.

You say whatever you want, girlfriend, all right.

Let's just say this During lockdown, why were
some things able to stay openand some things were not?
Some things were not, somepromote more negative energy and
some don't.
So it was very interesting tosee that perspective of what
could stay open and what couldnot stay open.

(49:10):
And if you're attuned to yourenergy, I mean you can keep it
strong and no matter what.
But there's that temptation perse to go down.
The other route was easilyaccessible and it's it's.
It is what it is Right andunfortunately, during that time,
a lot of people becamealcoholics to numb, which was,

(49:33):
you know, benefit for some, something perhaps right.
I am about helping people.
You know I create the space sothey can release the
interference that comes throughand they can make the right
decisions for themselves, tobecome more who they truly are.
And that's really what we'redoing at this point for people

(49:54):
who are working on themselves,finding out who we truly are, by
releasing that interferencethat shouldn't be there and
bringing in more light.
And you want to do that with asafe practitioner, someone you
trust, and not just with anybodyyou see on the internet saying
let me give you your energy.
I've had people say why don'tyou do those calls.

(50:16):
Or you're saying, give me asenior, and I'm like people say,
why don't you do those calls?
Or you say, give me a senior?
And I'm like I could never dothat.
Yeah, my ratings would go up.
But that's not me.
I was offering for four years,group healing calls every week
in a very safe container.
They started on zoom and thenthey went to YouTube live.
I actually stopped them onYouTube live because what was

(50:39):
happening is with it.
With the zoom calls, I hadpeople register, I knew who was
be there, but when I startedopening on YouTube live, what I
noticed is we had a really nicegroup that we just shifted over.
But then I started feelingenergies of Perhaps people that
were there for the wrong intentand then I have to use extra

(51:00):
energy to keep them at bay whilekeeping everyone else safe and
like I'm expending way too muchenergy to keep everyone safe.
So we stop that.
We're back into the nice safecontainer again.
So be careful what you jumpinto.
Go with that gut feeling, askyour higher self, ask your soul,
ask your spirit guides.

(51:22):
Is this really beneficial forme?
And if you're a very confusedperson because you don't know
what's right or wrong, becausewe can be numb because of all
the trauma and things we've beenthrough, that you might not
know the right answer.
Perhaps ask a wise friend.
I once had a very wise friendthat said stay away from that
woman, I don't like her.
And I said you're out of yourmind.

(51:43):
She's so nice to me.
She's like she's nice to youfor a reason.
Brenda, they can be verycharismatic.
They can be the nicest person.
It doesn't always mean that theintent is the right intent.

The other thing I think it's important to note.
So this is going back from whenFacebook first started.
This is a long time ago.
I got some years on me, but mykids were little and my
husband's like don't ever putour kids' faces on Facebook,

(52:22):
don't ever put our kids faces onFacebook.
And I remember saying to himbut you know, like it's only
friends on Facebook, like it'snot open, and he's like please
don't do that, please don't.
They're my kids too, pleasedon't do that, and I think it's
important to note so.
So for me, unfortunately, myface is kind of everywhere and a

(52:42):
lot of times I can't controlwhat somebody thinks about me
and they may not like what I'msaying, they may not like what

(53:06):
I'm putting out there.
Or if you're not in a publicspace and you have your children
who are on your social mediaand this was what and since then
this is a long time ago I'mlike, oh my God, like I'm so
glad I didn't do that.
Now they're adults, it's theirchoice, they have free will,
they can do whatever they wantin that sense in terms of
putting their faces on socialmedia.
But you know, I know that noteverybody has good intent, even

(53:31):
if you're in a private space youmay have somebody from high
school who might resent you andsay, oh my God, like Sandy
bragging about her kids again,like you almost have to, you
have to.
It's like that discernment.
But for me I'm in that publicspace, like, what about?

(53:52):
Like you hear about psychicattacks and poison arrows and
all these different things thatcan come at you from just your
picture.

Yeah, actually what you're speaking about has
truth and I actually specializein this and I went to training
for it and I was dealing withclients for many years and they
would ask me do you believe inblack magic?
Do you believe in the nocola?
Do you believe in black magic?
Do you believe in the nokla?
Do you believe in the evil eye?
And I said I know about it butI don't work with that, I only

(54:24):
work with love.
So I don't understand it.
But it became such a requestthat I fell into.
I asked the universe who can Ilearn that's safe to learn from?
And I fell into the arms of aphd in Ohio and her husband and
I worked with them for eightdays and learned about all the

(54:45):
different ways.
Someone like me works with thelight, but there are
practitioners that work withdark energy, that learn how to
manipulate dark energy to doexactly what you're saying To
cause turmoil in someone's lifethat they don't even know.
A lot of the work I do isbreaking black magic and I put

(55:08):
out videos about it and I getcomments about from witches
saying this is like.
This is like crazy talk, buttelling me you want to go, let's
see how powerful you are.
I'm just like I'm not engagingin fight.
I don't fight.
You know, there's nothing, Ijust let it simmer down.

(55:29):
That's what I'm wanting to getin.
But there are two sides.
There is a battle between lightand dark, but it's just
contrast and what side youchoose on.
But there are people, more thanever before, that are choosing
the side of dark practitioners,dark magic, because when they

(55:50):
hurt someone like you, someonewho's shining the light, you
know the.
Your light is needed on theplanet, your information is
needed on the planet so peoplecan make choices that are
helping themselves be better.
But the dark energy of thisplanet and practitioners don't
want that to happen, so they'llkind of do things.

(56:11):
So there are psychic attacks,there are those things, but the
best thing to do really is, asyou start to really work on
yourself and create this hugefield of light.
They can't even come through.
But we all have subconsciousbeliefs.
But what are subconsciousbeliefs?

(56:32):
Some of us, like myself in thepast, were more, we're more open
to dark attacks.
If I can say that I've had myshare amount to the point where
actually I had cults attackingme because I was helping someone
release from one.
Psychic attacks from all overthe world.
They almost took my life, butwhat they also taught me is how

(56:55):
powerful the light on thisplanet is and how powerful I can
bring in that light to dissolveit.
I'm still here, I'm wiser.
I love to teach people how toprotect themselves.
And if you are in the publiceye, there are things and I
think I agree with your husbandnot putting your children on

(57:16):
those streams where they're justso open, because if someone has
something against you, what isour biggest weakness?
Our children, right, so theycan attack that way.
So it's not to scare peoplelike my.
The last thing I want to do isscare people, but it is to make
them aware and I just gettingthis.

(57:36):
So sometimes when I'm dealingwith black magic where, like,
family is being attacked byblack magic, but there's usually
one person in the household,sometimes two, that have no
effects of the black magic atall, nothing, and they're like
how can this be happening?
I'm not being bothered at all.
Well, his belief systems aredifferent.

(57:58):
His themes he came in to dealwith on this planet are
different.
So it can.
People are susceptible due totheir belief systems that are
hiding in the background.
Even when I said back in the day, I'm not bothered by black
magic, I was still beingattacked.
I'm like how is that possible?

(58:18):
So I deeply had to go to theroots of my belief systems, say
what is it in me that's allowingthis to come through, it's lack
of self love?
It has to do with past lives,although it's not really past
lives.
That's gonna be a wholedifferent topic.
It could be the themes I cameto experience.
It's multi dimensional beings.
So I, when someone comes to sitin front of multi dimensional

(58:39):
beings, so I, when someone comesto sit in front of me, says
Brenda, I gotta tell yousomething.
You won't believe what's goingon in my life and you're gonna
think I'm insane.
I stay very open minded BecauseI was once in that person's
situation saying no one's gonnabelieve what I'm going through
because I'm being attackedenergetically.
I can feel it, I'm drained.

(58:59):
No one understands it.
So it is a thing, but it's nota thing for everyone.
So you do what you can toprotect yourself and your
children.

So, okay, one of the things that I do regularly
is I try and get as close as Ican to nature every day, every
single day.
If I don't do that, I feel off,I feel like you know, and

(59:34):
speaking of you know, we weretalking about the pandemic.
At one point they were tellingus that we weren't even allowed
to go outside, right, and I'mlike, screw that, I'm going for
my walks because this is theonly thing that's keeping me
sane right now.
So I was a rule breaker for myown mental sanity.

(59:58):
But there are a number ofthings and you know, it's
interesting because there's alot of people online who label
themselves as this or as that,like very specific labels, like
I am the witch of the north, Iam like I'm just kidding, but

(01:00:25):
you see that and they actuallygive you all these spells and
then they tell you to it.
You go oh my gosh, like it'severywhere, and then you have

(01:00:46):
that connection as soon as youdo that.

Brenda Farrugia (01:00:50):
You know what it's.
This is a totally a very, avery touchy point, like for me,
because I've been attacked byblack magic and it destroyed my
life so many times.
But I've overcome it and itbothers me or it doesn't bother

(01:01:11):
me, but just I just like toeducate people because sometimes
I see families falling apartand that's what's happening.
And there's people blatantlydoing it and proud of it.
This is like I don't know.
I don't understand that mindset.
I don't want to judge itbecause obviously that person
must be really hurting and gonethrough so much trauma to think

(01:01:32):
that they have to hurt people tofeel better.
Like that's sad, it's sad, so Idon't want to judge them.
And another thing is when Ibreak back black magic, well,
when I say it's me, it's not me.
I have a team that I work withand when black magic is broken,
we never send back negativeenergy to the one that's doing

(01:01:54):
it.
Instead we send love becausethe reason they're misguided is
they're hurting as well.
We're all divine beings, so ifthat person needs love, we'll
put a cord from them to divinityso they'll get the love they
need.
But we never send, like somepeople say oh you want to go,
let's see what you have.
All I'm going to send you islove, and you can't fight love.

(01:02:16):
You can heal from it, but youcan't fight love.
You can heal from it, but youcan't fight it.
So I kind of got a little bitoff track there.
But the key is people are doingit and there's actually sign
ups.
I've actually had invitationsto join the dark side.
Oh, you can become this andfade.

(01:02:37):
I don't care about fame, I careabout the love within me,
whoever.
If I can change one person'slife, then that changes another
person's life.
But they try to tempt you with,you know, money, this fame, all
that stuff.
But some people like that andthey'll start dabbling into it
and then they'll get stronger,because the more damage they do

(01:02:59):
on a subject, they get strongerand more powerful.
So what people will notice ifthey've had a black magic attack
?
It starts off little things,then gets to much bigger things
and then much bigger things,then spreads to the kids and the
house and the whole family andthen at that point they're like

(01:03:19):
what the heck is going on?
That's when they call me, butit's better to call when it's
just starting.
Things are going off.
I don't feel myself.
I spoke with this woman.
She gave me the and I don'tlike it, and then we can kind of
get it before it gets toodeeply rooted.
It's like a seed that grows andit's not not everyone's

(01:03:42):
susceptible to this kind ofstuff.
Like I said, it has to do withthe themes we came here to learn
.
But what I would say, ageneralality, is empathic people
, ones that had the pleasers,the ones that lack self love,
are a little more susceptible toit.
And then that strong, balancedperson in the house they're like

(01:04:04):
they don't have thatprogramming so it just kind of
like it can't touch them, but itcan be real for some people who
are suffering from it.
So if someone's telling you inyour household and you might be
listening to this and saying, oh, this makes no sense.
But maybe you have someone, afriend or someone in your
household that's saying like I'mnot feeling right, but I don't

(01:04:24):
know what it is, give them thebenefit of the doubt.
Give them the benefit of thedoubt because they might be
experiencing something that youcan't understand.

Sandy Kruse (01:04:35):
I mean in health and wellness.
There are some really, reallygood examples of exactly what
you're talking about.
So there's the you know, theenergetic that you can't you
can't do a diagnostic test for,but it's kind of like you have
mold in the house.
We talked about this, brenda.
There's mold in the house andwe have four family members and

(01:05:02):
only two of them actually gotsick from the mold and the other
two are fine.
It's because there's somethingwithin them that's more
resilient.
It's just like epigenetics.
Well, what causes certaingenetic expressions to happen in

(01:05:23):
some family members but not inothers?
Like autoimmune conditions?
You're in some sort of aweakened and maybe weakened
state is not the right term butthere's something that's keeping
you down that makes you moresusceptible to the things that
you maybe don't really want.

(01:05:43):
Does that?

make sense.
It makes sense because we'reall unique.
We all came here with our ownmissions, our own soul missions,
our own things to learn andexplore and experience.
So what I came with, I'm goingto be bothered and triggered by
the things I came to explore.
Whereas someone may have comein, you know, some people have

(01:06:06):
just come in on planet earth tobe human and enjoy life and
those are the people that I knowand see thriving and having fun
and nothing bothers them and Iused to be jealous, but now I
understand what it is.
They came in to be human andenjoy this beautiful planet.
Some of us came in to learnthings, hold the light as we go

(01:06:29):
through these changes on earth,and because of that we have to
learn our lessons, which kind ofhit us down, down, down down so
we catapult up to hold thelight really bright for those
who are following.
So it's a very uniqueindividual circumstance.
So I never discount somebody'scertain.

(01:06:51):
You know the situations they'rein, what they're feeling, what
they're hearing.
No one's crazy, even whenpeople say brend, there's an
entity in my field and it'stalking to me and telling me to
kill myself.
I've had one of those too.
I understand.
So let's let it go, and we doit through love and if the
person's ready, they'll let itgo and they'll continue their

(01:07:13):
journey on health and gettingbetter and better.
But there's no judgment inanything.
But there are some people thatdon't want to heal the victim.
Mentality will just say you isfunny, you always.
You always have people who wantto prove that what I do or what
someone does doesn't work.
And they'll come in saying I'mcoming to see you to prove that

(01:07:35):
this is not going to work for me.
I always say it's not going towork for you.
So why waste your time?
Why waste your money?
Why waste my time and money?
Because I need to prove it'snot going to work?
All right, that's really.
That makes no sense to me, butsure.
But I always say to them whynot just change your perspective
, at least to a point of I'mopen to try it and whatever

(01:07:58):
happens happens, and if they canget to that neutral level, they
usually benefit.
But if they say that negativeis not going to work and you can
just feel them tense during allthe clothes, it's like why
waste their time?
But maybe that's the experiencethey needed from me to realize
that it's not going to work forthem, and so be it.

(01:08:18):
So I don't take thingspersonally.
When they come at me that way,I was like, okay, you know what
this might be part of thehealing they need.
So it is what it is right.

So let's wrap up, let's, if you're kind of just
starting to understand energyand this conversation really
resonates where can someonebegin to maybe strengthen their
energetic field, raise theirvibration?

(01:08:50):
How do you even start?
Where do you start?

I would say 15 minutes a day just connecting to
yourself, and it can be assimple as shut off everything
and sit quietly and just breathe.
You don't have to meditate,just breathe in some type of
awareness, feeling your body andtalking to yourself.
And it doesn't matter what youbelieve in, you can call it God,

(01:09:17):
angels, the universe, whatever,whatever resonates with you.
And sometimes, just simplysitting quiet and saying are you
really there?
You'll probably feel thisbeautiful sensation saying, yeah
, we're here.
We all have spirit guys, we allhave a support team that's so

(01:09:38):
large.
They're speaking to us, butit's not.
We're just not listening.
So, quiet time just.
And some people say, well, I'ma mom.
This is how I started when I,you know, I shut off my gifts.
I shut, I took a break from allthat and I just became an
automatic person living a lifeuntil my body was going to fail.
And that's why I had to wake uponce again.

(01:10:00):
And when I did, I sat quietlyand said what am I here for?
And then it just opened upbecause I gave permission Show
me what I need to know.
So it's simply asking whenyou're ready, just simply ask
why am I here?
Who am I?
Show me.
You're here, open the gates ofcommunication and you'll start

(01:10:25):
to feel it in your body and youmight have a good cry because
you're remembering who you are.
And 15 minutes a day.
And if you can't do 15 minutesbecause you're busy, like I said
, I was with a when I had kids.
I was doing it for two minutesa day and I would go hide in a
walk-in closet and then it feltso good those two minutes that I

(01:10:45):
extended to four minutes andthen I became selfish and said I
need 15 minutes to myself.
Go play Right.
So you'll start to build thatlove, that connection.

Yeah, I think that is an absolutely beautiful way
to start and end ourconversation.
So, for those of you listening,a great way to start and a
great way for us to end, and Ireally have to say I appreciate
you so much, brenda, and I lovedthis conversation so so much.

(01:11:19):
