In this special episode, I’m sharing highlights from the Soul CPR Self-Love Retreat, where we explored the power of self-awareness and self-discipline in transforming our relationships—starting with the one we have with ourselves. Discover how letting go of the people, places, and things that no longer serve you creates space for healthy, reciprocal love to enter your life.
In today’s world, it’s easy to be weighed down by division, negativity, and fear. But don’t let the ugly in others kill the beauty in you. Just like a thriving ecosystem, we grow best when we embrace our uniqueness rather than compare ourselves to others. We are meant to share the same soil, stand under the same sun, and bloom in our own way. This episode is a reminder that self-love isn’t about competition—it’s about nurturing an environment where we all flourish together, even in difficult times.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Are you ready to untangle from your past, recover from heartbreak,
and revive your life. This is Soul CPR with your
host and Papa Yode. We've all had soul crushing experiences
and lost ourselves and our pain, but there is a
way out. On this podcast, Amazon best selling author, award
winning life coach and advice columnist and Papa Yode helps
(00:28):
us navigate the path from heartbreak to healing. So now
please welcome the host of Soul CPR and Papa Yode.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hello everyone, and thank you for tuning in today. If
you're a loyal listener, welcome back. And if you're new
to the show, we're delighted you found us and hope
you will join us often. Last week we ran a
rerun of episode number ten as I was away hosting
the Soul CPR Self Love Retreat in San Salvador. I'd
like to begin today's show by sharing some highlights from
(01:02):
the retreat that may benefit everyone now. Since my return,
I've been approached by many people in person and online
who have expressed regret in not being able to attend,
saying they're in a bit of a desperate need right
now of grounding and recentering their life, that the world
(01:23):
feels upside down and chaotic and dark for those who
had expected somewhat brighter days with the new year and
new promises and new leaders. Perhaps some even say they
feel betrayed, Many question their values and fear the future.
(01:43):
So in a later segment we'll talk about how in
today's world it's very easy to feel waged down by
the division, the negativity, and the fear, and we'll talk
about not allowing the ugly and others to kill or
destroy the beauty in you. But first, the retreat that
(02:06):
was a reset for the intimate group who attended. I
want to say, I'm just always amazed at how when
I vision something with pure intention, and when I'm guided
by my highest consciousness, when I trust my intuition and
trust that all will work out as it should be,
that things actually do come to pass as if it's
(02:29):
somehow divinely scripted. Have you ever experienced this or looked
back and realized that this is actually how something came
to pass for you. Almost everything I visioned for this
retreat happened exactly in that kind of timing and with
(02:50):
the weather and with the people, exactly as I had visioned.
And dreamt it would, but not quite and I'll get there,
but first, there's so much gratitude in my heart, starting
with our transportation and Ernesto, our private driver. He was
with us throughout the retreat and served as translator, tour
(03:13):
guide and the one we could count on if anything
went awry.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
But it didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And at the stunning home named Casa Alta, we enjoyed
sunrise meditations where we could be seated and held by
the earth while listening to the sounds of dawn with
the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. We enjoyed sunset dinners
on the terrace where we could share our thoughts from
the daily journal prompts and enjoy one of our three
(03:41):
holistic meals prepared in the kitchen by our phenomenal chef,
Christina Reyes. The coffee plantation tour at Caha Marca on
the Volcano with guides Carmen and Veronica, was informative and
fun and bonding and I think I speak for all
the ladies that we now have such a newfound appreciation
(04:03):
for what goes into just one cup of coffee. And
believe me, the process to grow the beans, select the
best for export everything in that process is a combination
of both love and skill. We shared this experience at
Caha Marca with a Salvadorn family whose son was home
(04:25):
from school in Toronto, Canada and had brought his girlfriend
to El Salvador for the first time. They were also
lovely and we enjoyed connecting. Now our city Highlights tour
with the Walking History Book. Literally Julio was fabulous and
memorable and I think created some new lovers and mind
steps for this part of Central America.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I was already in love with it.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Our Valentine's Day I Love Me Pajama party allowed a
playful side to come out, and also the casualness opened
up deeper conversations and our life. Local yoga instructor, the
truly phenomenal Sylvia, helped us contort in ways that some
of us did not know we were possibly capable of,
(05:13):
and we had workshops on self love that reveiled some
things I'll soon share. And one of my participants, Donna,
who happens to be a licensed professional counselor, led a
tapping session to anchor the new affirmations and beliefs that
the women had chosen to adopt for themselves. So I
really appreciated her participation and our wonderful home caretakers, Edwin
(05:38):
and Maritza, were available to assist us anytime we needed,
and Edwin even accompanied us to the surftown of Eltunco
for an afternoon of exploring and shopping. Something that I
almost forgot to share with you is that it was
wail season while we were there, and we knew that
it would be just we would be lucky if we
(05:59):
saw them. And Edwin used to laugh at us because
we grabbed the binoculars when we thought we might have
a glimpse of a whale, and he would laugh and
he would tell us it was a boat, a fishing
boat or something. But at last we had two donnas.
One of the Dnnas just kept believing we were going
to see whales, and sure enough we had the pleasure
of seeing whales and dolphins from our perch above the
(06:23):
Pacific Ocean, and what a treat that was. One of
the most powerful things that occurred during this retreat was
the release ritual, where I had the women take a
heavy stone and ride on it in a paint pen.
What they were ready to stop carrying in their lives,
(06:45):
but they were ready to let go of and then
I had them carry it down the two hundred and
I believe Maria counted them two hundred and seventy four
two hundred and seventy five stone steps to the edge
of the ocean and toss it in.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, it was very powerful.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Now. The night before we all headed home, we got
dressed up and we made photos by the beach and
had a farewell dinner at a famous local restaurant known
for its sunset views. Of course, we'd had the same
view all weekend from the home we rented, but it
was nice to go out in the town, if you will,
for this one occasion.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
It truly was.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Spectacular, as were the photos of all the women. One
other thing that occurred was, you know, at these homes
there's often stray animals that find a play they make
at their own home, and they learned to live off
the land and whatever the people who come and go
may give them. And the first morning there was a
(07:49):
beautiful I thought, a kitten that was at my door
and became my sidekick throughout the retreat. But it was
a full grum cat. And I came to find out
from Edwin and Maritz assured with me that she was
actually pregnant. I didn't realize she looked to be four
to six months old, but they said it was her
third litter, and one evening she curled up beside me
(08:14):
and actually went into labor. So sadly it was not
a good outcome. However, the fact was they said she
usually would go off and hide to give birth, but
she stayed by me and became my lap cat for
the rest of the retreat. We did have a vet
come see her and help her that It was also
(08:36):
our wonderful chef Christina that was able to help her
because there was a difficulty that was encountered that evening
that required human hands and help. But this cat is
going to have surgery so she will not have to
go through giving birth to more litters. She's simply too small.
But I adore her and she will be taking care.
(09:00):
And I'm very happy to report that now, well, all
of this occurred in my vision, other than falling in
love with this kitten that I almost brought home kitten cat.
While all of this occurred exactly my vision, even the
journals I had provided and selected without really thinking through
(09:20):
this had the stones on the cover that actually matched
the ones we found to paint on for the release ceremony,
and my friend Charlene had created soul CPR the retreat
logo bags for the participants to carry their journals and
pens and sunscreen in, and everything with the colors and
(09:41):
the and the and the needs for what they had
to carry just flowed through to so well together, even
though it was planned separately. Again, there was some kind
of divine connection that was happening. However, as I mentioned,
there were a couple of things that just were not
(10:04):
part of my intention that occurred that in the end
I know were meant to be. One. I had always
visioned a sixth participant. I'd always seen the number six
in my head. The house slept eight, but I knew
that meant too would have to be in the living
room on a sofa bed. So I didn't want to
(10:26):
sell for eight. I wanted six, and I kept visioning six.
But I sold only five, and I admit I was
somewhat disappointed because I felt someone was missing a great opportunity,
and I knew so many had said to me they
were interested but had some obstacle to going. The other thing,
(10:47):
I did not vision was alcohol. I had planned champagne
for the Valentine Pajama party as a celebration, and then
for our farewell dinner at the restaurant, I planned for
anyone to order whatever they chose for their beverages, and
that would be fine. But the sixth participant is a
(11:09):
very special story, and I'll come back to the alcohol now.
Earlier I mentioned our private chef, Christina Reyes. Her business
is named Yamaya and that's spelled ye lay a and
I found her last year when I was in the
planning stages. I found her working retreats online. Her food
(11:33):
was art and I knew she was the person for
my retreat where I visioned mind, body and spirit renewal.
And when I send her my information, she said, yes,
we worked out our agreement and what a blessing. And
by the way, you can all find her on Instagram
at Christina Underscore Yamaya and Christina is spelled the Spanish
(11:55):
way with no age. Now, what I want to share
is that one more And she told me that she
misread my proposal and thought my retreat had something to
do with cancer. It's why she said yes. You see,
she typically works surfing retreats or larger scale yoga retreats,
(12:17):
but she was drawn to my retreat. The name soul
CPR drew her in, she said, But when she went
back and read it, she realized cancer was not mentioned.
But she had already said yes and kept her word,
and she was curious to see what this retreat might
(12:39):
be about.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And so she came, and.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
In speaking with her, I learned that cancer was important
to her because her mother passed away when she was
a young teenager, and now she Christina, has a daughter
who will soon be a teenager. And the more I
got to know Christina, the more I came to understand
that she wasn't just there to be our amazing chef.
(13:05):
She belonged there. She was number six. And I will
not share more of her personal story is that is
hers to tell, but I do hope to have her
as a guest on the show in the future. Now,
the other thing that I did not vision, as I mentioned,
was alcohol being available, but I soon came to realize
(13:31):
it was important to a couple of the women. Christina
had been making us additive free, all natural, delicious, fruit
based beverages with every dinner. However, once I introduced the
champagne at the Valentine party on the second night. It
opened the door for wanting more. My mistake, However, it
(13:54):
needed to happen to create awareness not just for me
to communicate better, but also for those who may have
been in what I'll call states of contradictory behavioral patterns
without realizing that. Right, So let's talk about that contradictory
(14:18):
behavioral patterns without realizing that. We explored the power of
self awareness and self discipline in transforming our relationships, starting
with the one we have with ourselves. That was a
big point and purpose in the Self Love Retreat. So
what happened with the alcohol is that I observed participants
(14:43):
talking about not having deserts or saving calories so that
they could have wine in the evenings. And one particular
participant said, she is always trying to lose five pounds
and yet she does as everything right. Now. As a coach,
(15:04):
it is my job to call out blind spots, in
other words, what you may not see. So this was
the opportunity to do just that for this participant, for example,
by saying you're doing everything right, how might you be
deceiving yourself? So the first step was to bring into
(15:27):
awareness what do you consider everything right to be? And
so when we went through this participant's day, which included
eating well, exercising, and skipping some foods to be able
to have alcohol in the evenings most every evening, but
(15:52):
she wasn't losing the five pounds that her daughter in
law said she has heard her say everything since she
has known her. It might the disconnect be. We're going
to talk more about that specific scenario and more in
just a little bit, but it is time for our
first break, so don't go far and we'll be back
(16:14):
with marcoul Supr.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Are you struggling to care for elderly parents or a spouse?
Do you wonder if being a caregiver is making you sick?
Are you worried about taking time off work to care
for elderly parents and balance work, life and caregiving? Has
caregiving become exhausting and emotionally draining? Are you an aging
adult who wants to remain independent but you're not sure how.
(17:39):

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Welcome back everyone. I'm Anne Papaoti. This is so CPR
right here on Bold Brave TV. And we were just
talking about self awareness and self discipline right and that
then that becomes self love in action. So with the
scenario of one of the participants at the retreat, it
became a question of could this really be doing everything
(18:45):
right to meet her goal? So with awareness as the
first step, we had to look at the actions. Were
they self lover wasn't really self deceive? So we were
able to talk about the counting of the care calories
is more than just a number. It's the quality representation
(19:07):
first and foremost, because not all calories are created equal.
So for example, if you're on a twenty five hundred
calorie day diet and you counted your wine in that
and you're not losing weight, you may need to redistribute
the calorie content. So ladies specifically who are listening. Most
of us do not eat enough of the right calories
(19:31):
and ladies over fifty. Specifically, it's usually not enough protein. Anyway,
I'm happy to report that this particular retreater took the
awareness and has put into practice a new discipline to
support her goal of losing the five pounds, and has
made alcohol now celebratory beverage rather than a daily habit.
(19:58):
Now I know you join me in wishing her the
best in her new commitment to that decision. Consistent action
over time is how we attain our goals. Now I
have no doubt that she's gonna get this one. This
is self love and action. So how else might self
awareness and self discipline lead to self.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Love and action?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Well, for those whose relationship has recently ended, it may
mean something you stop doing as well. It may mean
stop stalking their social media. It may mean stop asking
mutual friends about them. It may mean something you start doing,
(20:46):
like starting new hobby, initiate meeting friends for coffee without
the need to discuss your ex. It might mean signing
up for something like a retreat, allowing yourself to go
to new places and meet new people, and in so
(21:06):
doing getting to know yourself again, Who are you without
the role in the relationship?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
You hear me right.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
One of the most common things I hear from people
is that they'd lose themselves in relationships and after retreat.
While some were fresh coming off of loss, others were
further along. But what was common was still the loss
of self esteem, self worth, and self confidence about decision
(21:40):
making and about what's next in life. It sounded differently
in the personal stories, however, what was real for all
were the seeds that had rooted deeply related to the
need for external validation, and some of that pertained to
(22:02):
external image body image. Now, while letting go is always
the lesson for healing, and that is what I was
there to help the participants do, whether it was of
people who hold them back, or things that clutter their lives,
or places that keep them stuck, or thoughts that perpetuate negativity.
(22:26):
I learned that one of the deepest rooted messages of
all that was behind so many other self love habits
had to do with their body images. Still at fifty
and sixty years of age, I really started thinking that
my next book is going to have to be on this.
(22:49):
So listeners, men and women who seated a negative or
positive thought in you about your body, shape and image.
Did it take root, how did it relate to food?
(23:10):
How has it affected or impacted you and your confidence,
your choices and relationships. Now, most likely this topic will
need to be its own show. But while I was
focused on self love on the inside at the retreat,
(23:32):
I realized this was one of my lessons that these
women are still struggling to love themselves on the outside.
The need for external validation can lead to toxic and
codependent relationships, to risky, optional figure altering cosmetic surgeries, and more. However,
(23:59):
I will continue to focus on the inside because if
you can truly get there to loving yourself on the inside,
the focus on the outside becomes.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Less of a thing.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Because what we focus on grows, it magnifies. Right, So
let's focus on the inside and let that grow and
magnify and overtake that need for the external. When you
can view your body as a vessel and care for
it and make it its best, not for acceptance, but
(24:35):
for wellness, for longevity, for performance, to carry you through
life with gratitude, to care for it, for its capabilities,
to appreciate it, that's a whole different perspective. Right. We
worked on this mantra at the retreat, and I encourage
(24:56):
you to do the same. Love your body as the
vessel that carries you through life. Appreciate it, care for it,
treat it well, exercise it, feed it, make decisions that
(25:17):
honor it. Now, let's talk about the inner beauty that
is threatened these days. I wrote an article for the
online media magazine Your Tango that was published in August
twenty twenty one titled Don't let the Ugli and Others
(25:40):
kill the beauty in you. Three steps to love yourself again.
So let's talk through the content of this article and
maybe expand.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
On it a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
There's a lot going on in the world today, and
sometimes we absorb it, and if we're not self aware
and we don't have a way to release it, we
might mimic it. So have you ever taken a look
in the proverbial mirror only to not recognize the person
(26:14):
looking back at you? Do you try to sleep at
night only to watch the video of your day replay
repeatedly on the movie screen of your mind? And in
so doing, do you find that that main character you
is someone you don't really like or enjoy. And as
(26:36):
those scenes play out and the dialogue echoes in your brain,
do you realize you've begun to look and sound more
like someone in your life who's a downer or sarcastic
or boollyish, or some other behavior you really do not
(26:57):
approve of but have become desensitized to. I know, I
just asks a lot about looking in that proverbial mirror,
because that can be extremely hurtful sometimes, especially when you
realize that what's being reflected back at you isn't pretty.
(27:22):
You may have begun to notice that what makes you
beautifully you, which is how you show up for yourself
into others, is fading. And if so, why if you're
feeling like you're changing from a warm, energizing ray of
(27:43):
sunshine to a cold, kind of dampening dark cloud, why
where's the exposure? Who's the influence? When you recognize awareness
that you're not showing up as the beautiful person you
(28:06):
truly are, you may start experiencing those negative thoughts, which
can turn into self loathing rather than self loving, And
then you might start ruminating the wood haves, could haves
and should have During those replays.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Of the day.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
And as you become aware that the script could have
been different, on how you showed up for people and
for yourself, for yourself and to.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Others, is how to prefer to say it?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
And then as you scrutinize that reflection, the negative thoughts
can really start taking over. It's time for our second
break in just a moment, So I want you to
take a moment before we go and start reflecting on
(28:58):
how do you show up for yourself, into others, for
yourself meaning true to you? Has that changed recently and
why do you think that is? Some people say it's
like groundhog Day from four years ago for them.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
What is it for you? If so, what's the connection
for you? And why?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Is it something new situationally? Is it a repeat occurrence?
Is it something chronic? Think about that. We're going to
take our second break and when we come back we'll
talk more about this and how to get out of it.
Don't go far, We'll be back with more cel CPR.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
And We're back.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
We are talking about really a mindset that can be
affected about how you show up in the world. So
if you're not showing up true to you in a
way that allows you to self love rather than and
self loath, let's talk about.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
The influences in your life.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
So, if you are looking in the proverbial mirror and
you don't like what's reflecting back to you, why or
why not scrutinizing those that your reflection and negative thoughts
take over. Some people may retreat to a mindset of
sadness and yield, or shame and blame because of how
(32:24):
they may be behaving, and these feelings can lead to
an array of self sabotaging behaviors. So like, what how
do you self sabotage? Do you end up drinking the
entire bottle of wine when you intend to have one
glass to relax from what you may have deemed as
a stressful day, Or do you eat the full box
of Girl Scout cookies that's one of my go tos.
(32:47):
Or perhaps you eventually consider who is affecting me and
that's when you realize you're negatively affected by someone in
your life, or someone's presence, or someone's choice and actions
and their behaviors. Now, surely it's someone you care about
(33:08):
or hold in high regard, or at the very least,
someone consumes much of your time and attention. And if
it's negatively impacting you in this way and affecting how
you show up in the world, then that someone is
like a dark cloud. Would you agree, someone who is
(33:28):
negative in some way, someone who brings you down, someone
whose values just might not be in alignment with yours,
even though perhaps at first you thought they were, and
now that person is rubbing off on you.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
So is it just that.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
They're negative by nature? Or are they typically critical, cynical, vengeful,
and maybe even calculating? Are they bitter, needy? Did they
need you in some way and you need to be needed?
(34:07):
I mentioned codependent relationships earlier. Meanwhile, are you positive by nature?
Are you typically kind and caring and lighthearted? Are you
happy and compassionate? Empathetic? Is this warrior authentic nature? What
other words might you use to describe yourself? Regardless, you
(34:32):
have to ask yourself. Has the force of their negativity
been stronger than the pull of your positivity if your
intent was to help them? Regardless, let's say it's a
time for a self love makeover so you can return
to the reflection of your true self, one that you
(34:56):
enjoy seeing, one that allows you to rest well and
not ruminate and go back to the would have, should
have could us the end of the day. There's a
theory and I by motivational guru Jim ron I hope
by saying his name right might be wrong, but he
(35:18):
has a theory about the five people that you spend
the time most time with, that you actually are the
sum of those five people. Think about that, That your attitudes,
your beliefs, your behaviors, your overall life trajectory and life
satisfaction is a sum of those five people. Here are
(35:39):
your five people that you spend the most time with
in real time, online, in video exposure to their thoughts
and beliefs. Think about that, all right? My three steps
that I put in the article, let's see if there's
still true four years later. Number one, identify the toxic
(36:01):
people and their influences on you. I would argue today
still that every one of us has someone in our
lives whom we love and admire, but has a way
about them that can bring us down every time we're
around them. You know the phone rings and you're like, oh,
do I want to take that call right now? Because
(36:22):
I know how I'm going to feel when I get
off the call.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Or someone that they are always in conflict with someone
else or someone, or victimized by someone or someone, something
or someone, always a victim to life. That can drain
us energy is contagious, and when someone sees everything in
life as a fight or a slight against them, it
(36:50):
leads them to a very dark place and can pull
us down. I would encourage a conversation with them about that,
and that's going to require what having boundaries about what
you allow in conversations. It requires open and honest communication,
(37:13):
which is what healthy relationships have. So if you're going
to stay in relationship with this type of person, it's
going to require boundaries. So if you've identified that they're
ugly is destroying your beauty, you have to identify what
it is about their personality or character and then take
(37:36):
the first step in your makeovers. So when you're aware,
you can prepare by creating these healthy boundaries between you
and this person, which is step two in the article.
And we'll have a link to this article in the
show notes. By the way, if you want to go
back and reread, take something.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Else from it.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
So implementing boundaries, I find in my coaching practice is
one of the most difficult things for people who are
highly empathetic, who are people pleasers and all of these
types of things who are kind to do because there's
a conflict of values. I call it a misunderstanding of
(38:19):
values that implementing boundaries somehow feels conflictuous to them. It
feels like they're being unkind. But you know what, kindness
extends to yourself as well, and open and honest communication
is kind and compassionate. Conflict does not need to be
(38:42):
rude or ugly.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Actually, Christina and I have talked about this in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
That's a retreat.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Boundaries protect your energy and your emotional wellbeing. So let's
be clear. Boundaries are for you. You may have heard
it said that good vents doesn't make good neighbors. Well,
that should be your daily beauty regime, if you will.
Your fence is to define your mental and emotional property
and it's your responsibility to maintain it. And the most
(39:11):
important boundary is to stay aware when their ugly appears.
Choose not to react, respond, or participate in any way
that's going to fuel more negativity. Use the power of
your beauty instead of letting it be turned into a weakness.
(39:33):
Use the power of your beauty instead. According to what
the situation calls for, perhaps you can acknowledge their experience,
express empathy, and then redirect them to something positive, shine
a light for them to follow. But if they don't
(39:53):
move on, that was their choice. You are responsible for
you and not the now. If this is someone on
TV or in the news, you have the choice of
your exposure. Limits are boundaries. Decide how much time that
(40:13):
you're going to allow yourself each day and from what
source to get the messages that matter. I have clients
creating their own suffering by overexposure.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
To the news.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Look, pain in life is inevitable, while suffering is optional,
Meaning there are things we have no control over that
hurts us. But when we prolong our viewing, our listening
and discussing a topic, we're now creating our own suffering.
(40:48):
So if you have the news on twenty four to seven,
I have no doubt that you're suffering, that you're stressed,
and that you're creating negativity in your mindset. If you
listen to opinion news rather than a summary daily report,
(41:08):
I have no doubt that you're also opinionated. I'll share
my boundary when it comes to this. I watch one
half hour of local news and one half hour of
national international combination news daily.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
That's it. I have a local news.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
App on my phone that if there were an emergency
in my area, I would receive a warning. My news
intake is early evening, not before bed, and not upon waking.
This works for me, So what works for you. I've
found the middle of the road source. It's not far
(41:55):
left and it's not far right.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
I feel like I get a middle of the road.
No opinion.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
It is what it is report and that's what I'm
looking for. And this leads to step number three. Learning
to love yourself or love yourself again means staying beautiful.
So one top beauty secret, if you will, is to
surround yourself with positive, upbeat people. Back to Jim Brown's
(42:29):
theory of the five people you spend your most time with.
This includes your television exposure, your news exposure. Who are
you surrounding yourself with? This is the best moodlifter and
frown filler.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
On the market.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Avoiding those who are negative, downbeat, highly conflictual, and perpetual
victims of life is a great prescription. But sometimes the
relationship is one that requires contact. Right, so remember this
(43:06):
stain beautiful does not mean you step aside and allow
someone to bulldoze through your life's fence. It means you
stay true to yourself fence posts firmly cemented. And when
(43:26):
we say the relationship means you may require contact, what
if it's a boss, a co worker, a relationship you
can't quite leave Because sometimes boundaries, even with family relationships,
mean we have to create an estrangement. Sometimes it's more
(43:48):
other relationships, even outside of family, so again, fence posts, firmly,
firmly cemented, keep to your side of the fence, keep
it beautiful.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
Whether they like.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
It and appreciate it or not, you don't need to
defend it. It's always better to show than to tell.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
Write that down.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
It's always better to show than to tell. And you
don't need to join them on their ugly side. That's
going to be the struggle. That's why the boundaries have
to be cemented. Don't fall into their commiserating, complaining, controlling,
or even judging them for doing so. Your true beauty
(44:31):
will strengthen and shine when you can stay on your
side of the fence. It's the beautiful people like you,
the empathetic, compassionate, sensitive, attentive, who are most in tune
with others' emotions and therefore are most vulnerable to being
pulled over to their side of the fence. So, whether
(44:53):
you have the need to please, or to rescue, or
simply don't want someone to feel alone in their misery,
your beauty can be used against you if you are
not strong and your self love and recognize that boundary
is to protect you. So learning to love yourself again
(45:15):
does take some work. So without that awareness and then preparedness,
you can easily become overpowered and weakened. At the end
of the day, it's about being responsible and accountable for
the energy you bring to every situation. Self awareness leads
(45:36):
to self mastery, and that's where self love resides. After all,
it's you who must be able to face the mirror
with confidence. And I have found that a clear conscience
is the softest pillow and there's no better remedy for
(45:56):
beauty inside and out.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
Good Night's sleep.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
It's time for our third and final break, so don't
go far. We'll be back with some closing thoughts and
even some photographs from the retreat.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (46:13):

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Have you ever heard it said that comparison is the
thief of joy. Whether it's about where you are in
your life's journey compared to someone else, or how much
you think you should weigh.
Speaker 3 (48:27):
Let that go. It's not a competition.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
I noticed at the retreat that the five women were
in very different places on a common path, and because
of that, we're able to help one another with their
collective wisdom. It was beautiful to see them nurture one another.
And on our last morning, I found myself really immersed
in the ecosystem around us, and I drew inspiration for
(48:52):
our final meditation from that. I reminded everyone that just
like the diverse flora that was surrounding us, we were
unique and literally rooted in the same soil, if you will,
and nourished by the same elements and standing under the
same sun, yet blooming in our own way, in our
(49:14):
own time and at our own pace. We had all
weathered storms and endured trials and carried the scars of
our journeys, just like the trees and the plants around us,
perfect in our imperfections. And just as those dirty branches
were sheltering wildlife, and sometimes we found some pretty amazing
(49:37):
things hiding under there, and the fallen leaves were enriching
the earth, we too have beauty and purpose to offer
the world. So if I had a key takeaway for today,
there are a few, actually, but one would be the
let go to grow, to retreat to review. You can
(49:57):
do this in your own space and change your internal
messaging about yourself. And I promise you there's something within
you that you've forgotten about that is so amazing that
it's carried you through your life storms. Remember it and
honor it and love yourself for it. So now I'd
(50:19):
like to share some pictures from their retreat, and Dan
has so graciously loaded them up for me today. So
there we are on the last night, all with it.
We had wraps to let them blow in the wind,
and there's surf cities. Little sign I love that down
at Eltunko and there's a sign of El Tinko or
(50:41):
hanging out one of the big surf competition beaches. Lovely,
thank you. There's the cat on the left so that
I named her Mia because she answered to miamore. And
this is one of the nights. She's just resting with
me after she had given birth. Two nights before her
kittens were still born. Sadly, but I give Christina Reya's credit.
(51:05):
She literally saved her life because one was breach and
needed a lot of help. And then we're in the
city and then we're in the back of a truck
going from one area of the plantation to another at
Caha Marca. We were having a good time. That was freedom,
letting go of inhibitions, having a good time.
Speaker 3 (51:27):
Thank you Dan.
Speaker 2 (51:27):
What else we got? Oh, we have more. That is
at Caha Marca, the coffee plantation. We're overlooking the city,
so the coffee plantations, there's several of them, and we're
on the the volcano of San Salvador, Saint Salvador. And
this is a coffee plant that you see in the
(51:48):
coffee cherries they're called as they grow and then the
bean is inside, and then we're out where they're drying
the beans out in the sun.
Speaker 3 (51:57):
So cool, and they.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
Hand go through those to find the ones that are
not right. And there's sunrise meditation on one area of
the property. Then we're going down those two hundred and
seventy some odd steps to the edge of the Pacific
Ocean carrying those rocks for the release ritual. All smiles.
(52:20):
People felt good after the release. There's we had two donnas.
There's one of the Daunas releasing her rock underhanded. There's
our little workshop scenario.
Speaker 3 (52:32):
Very cool.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
We we're seting. There's one of our dinners. There's our
beautiful chef, Christina on the left. She would always come
and give us, you know, the talk us through the
menu and tell us what she prepared for us. And
it was always amazing sunset on the other side of
the property. We'd have dinner there every evening and our
breakfast would be in the morning up under the veranda.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
Just beautiful. Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
Dan. Again, I want to thank all of our loyal listeners,
and again, if you're new to the show, we are

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hello everyone, and thank you for tuning in today. If
you're a loyal listener, welcome back. And if you're new
to the show, we're delighted you found us and hope
you will join us often. Last week we ran a
rerun of episode number ten as I was away hosting
the Soul CPR Self Love Retreat in San Salvador. I'd
like to begin today's show by sharing some highlights from
(01:02):
the retreat that may benefit everyone now. Since my return,
I've been approached by many people in person and online
who have expressed regret in not being able to attend,
saying they're in a bit of a desperate need right
now of grounding and recentering their life, that the world
(01:23):
feels upside down and chaotic and dark for those who
had expected somewhat brighter days with the new year and
new promises and new leaders. Perhaps some even say they
feel betrayed, Many question their values and fear the future.
(01:43):
So in a later segment we'll talk about how in
today's world it's very easy to feel waged down by
the division, the negativity, and the fear, and we'll talk
about not allowing the ugly and others to kill or
destroy the beauty in you. But first, the retreat that
(02:06):
was a reset for the intimate group who attended. I
want to say, I'm just always amazed at how when
I vision something with pure intention, and when I'm guided
by my highest consciousness, when I trust my intuition and
trust that all will work out as it should be,
that things actually do come to pass as if it's
(02:29):
somehow divinely scripted. Have you ever experienced this or looked
back and realized that this is actually how something came
to pass for you. Almost everything I visioned for this
retreat happened exactly in that kind of timing and with
(02:50):
the weather and with the people, exactly as I had visioned.
And dreamt it would, but not quite and I'll get there,
but first, there's so much gratitude in my heart, starting
with our transportation and Ernesto, our private driver. He was
with us throughout the retreat and served as translator, tour
(03:13):
guide and the one we could count on if anything
went awry.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
But it didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And at the stunning home named Casa Alta, we enjoyed
sunrise meditations where we could be seated and held by
the earth while listening to the sounds of dawn with
the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. We enjoyed sunset dinners
on the terrace where we could share our thoughts from
the daily journal prompts and enjoy one of our three
(03:41):
holistic meals prepared in the kitchen by our phenomenal chef,
Christina Reyes. The coffee plantation tour at Caha Marca on
the Volcano with guides Carmen and Veronica, was informative and
fun and bonding and I think I speak for all
the ladies that we now have such a newfound appreciation
(04:03):
for what goes into just one cup of coffee. And
believe me, the process to grow the beans, select the
best for export everything in that process is a combination
of both love and skill. We shared this experience at
Caha Marca with a Salvadorn family whose son was home
(04:25):
from school in Toronto, Canada and had brought his girlfriend
to El Salvador for the first time. They were also
lovely and we enjoyed connecting. Now our city Highlights tour
with the Walking History Book. Literally Julio was fabulous and
memorable and I think created some new lovers and mind
steps for this part of Central America.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I was already in love with it.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Our Valentine's Day I Love Me Pajama party allowed a
playful side to come out, and also the casualness opened
up deeper conversations and our life. Local yoga instructor, the
truly phenomenal Sylvia, helped us contort in ways that some
of us did not know we were possibly capable of,
(05:13):
and we had workshops on self love that reveiled some
things I'll soon share. And one of my participants, Donna,
who happens to be a licensed professional counselor, led a
tapping session to anchor the new affirmations and beliefs that
the women had chosen to adopt for themselves. So I
really appreciated her participation and our wonderful home caretakers, Edwin
(05:38):
and Maritza, were available to assist us anytime we needed,
and Edwin even accompanied us to the surftown of Eltunco
for an afternoon of exploring and shopping. Something that I
almost forgot to share with you is that it was
wail season while we were there, and we knew that
it would be just we would be lucky if we
(05:59):
saw them. And Edwin used to laugh at us because
we grabbed the binoculars when we thought we might have
a glimpse of a whale, and he would laugh and
he would tell us it was a boat, a fishing
boat or something. But at last we had two donnas.
One of the Dnnas just kept believing we were going
to see whales, and sure enough we had the pleasure
of seeing whales and dolphins from our perch above the
(06:23):
Pacific Ocean, and what a treat that was. One of
the most powerful things that occurred during this retreat was
the release ritual, where I had the women take a
heavy stone and ride on it in a paint pen.
What they were ready to stop carrying in their lives,
(06:45):
but they were ready to let go of and then
I had them carry it down the two hundred and
I believe Maria counted them two hundred and seventy four
two hundred and seventy five stone steps to the edge
of the ocean and toss it in.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, it was very powerful.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Now. The night before we all headed home, we got
dressed up and we made photos by the beach and
had a farewell dinner at a famous local restaurant known
for its sunset views. Of course, we'd had the same
view all weekend from the home we rented, but it
was nice to go out in the town, if you will,
for this one occasion.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
It truly was.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Spectacular, as were the photos of all the women. One
other thing that occurred was, you know, at these homes
there's often stray animals that find a play they make
at their own home, and they learned to live off
the land and whatever the people who come and go
may give them. And the first morning there was a
(07:49):
beautiful I thought, a kitten that was at my door
and became my sidekick throughout the retreat. But it was
a full grum cat. And I came to find out
from Edwin and Maritz assured with me that she was
actually pregnant. I didn't realize she looked to be four
to six months old, but they said it was her
third litter, and one evening she curled up beside me
(08:14):
and actually went into labor. So sadly it was not
a good outcome. However, the fact was they said she
usually would go off and hide to give birth, but
she stayed by me and became my lap cat for
the rest of the retreat. We did have a vet
come see her and help her that It was also
(08:36):
our wonderful chef Christina that was able to help her
because there was a difficulty that was encountered that evening
that required human hands and help. But this cat is
going to have surgery so she will not have to
go through giving birth to more litters. She's simply too small.
But I adore her and she will be taking care.
(09:00):
And I'm very happy to report that now, well, all
of this occurred in my vision, other than falling in
love with this kitten that I almost brought home kitten cat.
While all of this occurred exactly my vision, even the
journals I had provided and selected without really thinking through
(09:20):
this had the stones on the cover that actually matched
the ones we found to paint on for the release ceremony,
and my friend Charlene had created soul CPR the retreat
logo bags for the participants to carry their journals and
pens and sunscreen in, and everything with the colors and
(09:41):
the and the and the needs for what they had
to carry just flowed through to so well together, even
though it was planned separately. Again, there was some kind
of divine connection that was happening. However, as I mentioned,
there were a couple of things that just were not
(10:04):
part of my intention that occurred that in the end
I know were meant to be. One. I had always
visioned a sixth participant. I'd always seen the number six
in my head. The house slept eight, but I knew
that meant too would have to be in the living
room on a sofa bed. So I didn't want to
(10:26):
sell for eight. I wanted six, and I kept visioning six.
But I sold only five, and I admit I was
somewhat disappointed because I felt someone was missing a great opportunity,
and I knew so many had said to me they
were interested but had some obstacle to going. The other thing,
(10:47):
I did not vision was alcohol. I had planned champagne
for the Valentine Pajama party as a celebration, and then
for our farewell dinner at the restaurant, I planned for
anyone to order whatever they chose for their beverages, and
that would be fine. But the sixth participant is a
(11:09):
very special story, and I'll come back to the alcohol now.
Earlier I mentioned our private chef, Christina Reyes. Her business
is named Yamaya and that's spelled ye lay a and
I found her last year when I was in the
planning stages. I found her working retreats online. Her food
(11:33):
was art and I knew she was the person for
my retreat where I visioned mind, body and spirit renewal.
And when I send her my information, she said, yes,
we worked out our agreement and what a blessing. And
by the way, you can all find her on Instagram
at Christina Underscore Yamaya and Christina is spelled the Spanish
(11:55):
way with no age. Now, what I want to share
is that one more And she told me that she
misread my proposal and thought my retreat had something to
do with cancer. It's why she said yes. You see,
she typically works surfing retreats or larger scale yoga retreats,
(12:17):
but she was drawn to my retreat. The name soul
CPR drew her in, she said, But when she went
back and read it, she realized cancer was not mentioned.
But she had already said yes and kept her word,
and she was curious to see what this retreat might
(12:39):
be about.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And so she came, and.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
In speaking with her, I learned that cancer was important
to her because her mother passed away when she was
a young teenager, and now she Christina, has a daughter
who will soon be a teenager. And the more I
got to know Christina, the more I came to understand
that she wasn't just there to be our amazing chef.
(13:05):
She belonged there. She was number six. And I will
not share more of her personal story is that is
hers to tell, but I do hope to have her
as a guest on the show in the future. Now,
the other thing that I did not vision, as I mentioned,
was alcohol being available, but I soon came to realize
(13:31):
it was important to a couple of the women. Christina
had been making us additive free, all natural, delicious, fruit
based beverages with every dinner. However, once I introduced the
champagne at the Valentine party on the second night. It
opened the door for wanting more. My mistake, However, it
(13:54):
needed to happen to create awareness not just for me
to communicate better, but also for those who may have
been in what I'll call states of contradictory behavioral patterns
without realizing that. Right, So let's talk about that contradictory
(14:18):
behavioral patterns without realizing that. We explored the power of
self awareness and self discipline in transforming our relationships, starting
with the one we have with ourselves. That was a
big point and purpose in the Self Love Retreat. So
what happened with the alcohol is that I observed participants
(14:43):
talking about not having deserts or saving calories so that
they could have wine in the evenings. And one particular
participant said, she is always trying to lose five pounds
and yet she does as everything right. Now. As a coach,
(15:04):
it is my job to call out blind spots, in
other words, what you may not see. So this was
the opportunity to do just that for this participant, for example,
by saying you're doing everything right, how might you be
deceiving yourself? So the first step was to bring into
(15:27):
awareness what do you consider everything right to be? And
so when we went through this participant's day, which included
eating well, exercising, and skipping some foods to be able
to have alcohol in the evenings most every evening, but
(15:52):
she wasn't losing the five pounds that her daughter in
law said she has heard her say everything since she
has known her. It might the disconnect be. We're going
to talk more about that specific scenario and more in
just a little bit, but it is time for our
first break, so don't go far and we'll be back
(16:14):
with marcoul Supr.

Are you struggling to care for elderly parents or a spouse?
Do you wonder if being a caregiver is making you sick?
Are you worried about taking time off work to care
for elderly parents and balance work, life and caregiving? Has
caregiving become exhausting and emotionally draining? Are you an aging
adult who wants to remain independent but you're not sure how.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Welcome back everyone. I'm Anne Papaoti. This is so CPR
right here on Bold Brave TV. And we were just
talking about self awareness and self discipline right and that
then that becomes self love in action. So with the
scenario of one of the participants at the retreat, it
became a question of could this really be doing everything
(18:45):
right to meet her goal? So with awareness as the
first step, we had to look at the actions. Were
they self lover wasn't really self deceive? So we were
able to talk about the counting of the care calories
is more than just a number. It's the quality representation
(19:07):
first and foremost, because not all calories are created equal.
So for example, if you're on a twenty five hundred
calorie day diet and you counted your wine in that
and you're not losing weight, you may need to redistribute
the calorie content. So ladies specifically who are listening. Most
of us do not eat enough of the right calories
(19:31):
and ladies over fifty. Specifically, it's usually not enough protein. Anyway,
I'm happy to report that this particular retreater took the
awareness and has put into practice a new discipline to
support her goal of losing the five pounds, and has
made alcohol now celebratory beverage rather than a daily habit.
(19:58):
Now I know you join me in wishing her the
best in her new commitment to that decision. Consistent action
over time is how we attain our goals. Now I
have no doubt that she's gonna get this one. This
is self love and action. So how else might self
awareness and self discipline lead to self.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Love and action?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Well, for those whose relationship has recently ended, it may
mean something you stop doing as well. It may mean
stop stalking their social media. It may mean stop asking
mutual friends about them. It may mean something you start doing,
(20:46):
like starting new hobby, initiate meeting friends for coffee without
the need to discuss your ex. It might mean signing
up for something like a retreat, allowing yourself to go
to new places and meet new people, and in so
(21:06):
doing getting to know yourself again, Who are you without
the role in the relationship?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
You hear me right.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
One of the most common things I hear from people
is that they'd lose themselves in relationships and after retreat.
While some were fresh coming off of loss, others were
further along. But what was common was still the loss
of self esteem, self worth, and self confidence about decision
(21:40):
making and about what's next in life. It sounded differently
in the personal stories, however, what was real for all
were the seeds that had rooted deeply related to the
need for external validation, and some of that pertained to
(22:02):
external image body image. Now, while letting go is always
the lesson for healing, and that is what I was
there to help the participants do, whether it was of
people who hold them back, or things that clutter their lives,
or places that keep them stuck, or thoughts that perpetuate negativity.
(22:26):
I learned that one of the deepest rooted messages of
all that was behind so many other self love habits
had to do with their body images. Still at fifty
and sixty years of age, I really started thinking that
my next book is going to have to be on this.
(22:49):
So listeners, men and women who seated a negative or
positive thought in you about your body, shape and image.
Did it take root, how did it relate to food?
(23:10):
How has it affected or impacted you and your confidence,
your choices and relationships. Now, most likely this topic will
need to be its own show. But while I was
focused on self love on the inside at the retreat,
(23:32):
I realized this was one of my lessons that these
women are still struggling to love themselves on the outside.
The need for external validation can lead to toxic and
codependent relationships, to risky, optional figure altering cosmetic surgeries, and more. However,
(23:59):
I will continue to focus on the inside because if
you can truly get there to loving yourself on the inside,
the focus on the outside becomes.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Less of a thing.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Because what we focus on grows, it magnifies. Right, So
let's focus on the inside and let that grow and
magnify and overtake that need for the external. When you
can view your body as a vessel and care for
it and make it its best, not for acceptance, but
(24:35):
for wellness, for longevity, for performance, to carry you through
life with gratitude, to care for it, for its capabilities,
to appreciate it, that's a whole different perspective. Right. We
worked on this mantra at the retreat, and I encourage
(24:56):
you to do the same. Love your body as the
vessel that carries you through life. Appreciate it, care for it,
treat it well, exercise it, feed it, make decisions that
(25:17):
honor it. Now, let's talk about the inner beauty that
is threatened these days. I wrote an article for the
online media magazine Your Tango that was published in August
twenty twenty one titled Don't let the Ugli and Others
(25:40):
kill the beauty in you. Three steps to love yourself again.
So let's talk through the content of this article and
maybe expand.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
On it a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
There's a lot going on in the world today, and
sometimes we absorb it, and if we're not self aware
and we don't have a way to release it, we
might mimic it. So have you ever taken a look
in the proverbial mirror only to not recognize the person
(26:14):
looking back at you? Do you try to sleep at
night only to watch the video of your day replay
repeatedly on the movie screen of your mind? And in
so doing, do you find that that main character you
is someone you don't really like or enjoy. And as
(26:36):
those scenes play out and the dialogue echoes in your brain,
do you realize you've begun to look and sound more
like someone in your life who's a downer or sarcastic
or boollyish, or some other behavior you really do not
(26:57):
approve of but have become desensitized to. I know, I
just asks a lot about looking in that proverbial mirror,
because that can be extremely hurtful sometimes, especially when you
realize that what's being reflected back at you isn't pretty.
(27:22):
You may have begun to notice that what makes you
beautifully you, which is how you show up for yourself
into others, is fading. And if so, why if you're
feeling like you're changing from a warm, energizing ray of
(27:43):
sunshine to a cold, kind of dampening dark cloud, why
where's the exposure? Who's the influence? When you recognize awareness
that you're not showing up as the beautiful person you
(28:06):
truly are, you may start experiencing those negative thoughts, which
can turn into self loathing rather than self loving, And
then you might start ruminating the wood haves, could haves
and should have During those replays.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Of the day.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
And as you become aware that the script could have
been different, on how you showed up for people and
for yourself, for yourself and to.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Others, is how to prefer to say it?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
And then as you scrutinize that reflection, the negative thoughts
can really start taking over. It's time for our second
break in just a moment, So I want you to
take a moment before we go and start reflecting on
(28:58):
how do you show up for yourself, into others, for
yourself meaning true to you? Has that changed recently and
why do you think that is? Some people say it's
like groundhog Day from four years ago for them.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
What is it for you? If so, what's the connection
for you? And why?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Is it something new situationally? Is it a repeat occurrence?
Is it something chronic? Think about that. We're going to
take our second break and when we come back we'll
talk more about this and how to get out of it.
Don't go far, We'll be back with more cel CPR.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
And We're back.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
We are talking about really a mindset that can be
affected about how you show up in the world. So
if you're not showing up true to you in a
way that allows you to self love rather than and
self loath, let's talk about.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
The influences in your life.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
So, if you are looking in the proverbial mirror and
you don't like what's reflecting back to you, why or
why not scrutinizing those that your reflection and negative thoughts
take over. Some people may retreat to a mindset of
sadness and yield, or shame and blame because of how
(32:24):
they may be behaving, and these feelings can lead to
an array of self sabotaging behaviors. So like, what how
do you self sabotage? Do you end up drinking the
entire bottle of wine when you intend to have one
glass to relax from what you may have deemed as
a stressful day, Or do you eat the full box
of Girl Scout cookies that's one of my go tos.
(32:47):
Or perhaps you eventually consider who is affecting me and
that's when you realize you're negatively affected by someone in
your life, or someone's presence, or someone's choice and actions
and their behaviors. Now, surely it's someone you care about
(33:08):
or hold in high regard, or at the very least,
someone consumes much of your time and attention. And if
it's negatively impacting you in this way and affecting how
you show up in the world, then that someone is
like a dark cloud. Would you agree, someone who is
(33:28):
negative in some way, someone who brings you down, someone
whose values just might not be in alignment with yours,
even though perhaps at first you thought they were, and
now that person is rubbing off on you.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
So is it just that.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
They're negative by nature? Or are they typically critical, cynical, vengeful,
and maybe even calculating? Are they bitter, needy? Did they
need you in some way and you need to be needed?
(34:07):
I mentioned codependent relationships earlier. Meanwhile, are you positive by nature?
Are you typically kind and caring and lighthearted? Are you
happy and compassionate? Empathetic? Is this warrior authentic nature? What
other words might you use to describe yourself? Regardless, you
(34:32):
have to ask yourself. Has the force of their negativity
been stronger than the pull of your positivity if your
intent was to help them? Regardless, let's say it's a
time for a self love makeover so you can return
to the reflection of your true self, one that you
(34:56):
enjoy seeing, one that allows you to rest well and
not ruminate and go back to the would have, should
have could us the end of the day. There's a
theory and I by motivational guru Jim ron I hope
by saying his name right might be wrong, but he
(35:18):
has a theory about the five people that you spend
the time most time with, that you actually are the
sum of those five people. Think about that, That your attitudes,
your beliefs, your behaviors, your overall life trajectory and life
satisfaction is a sum of those five people. Here are
(35:39):
your five people that you spend the most time with
in real time, online, in video exposure to their thoughts
and beliefs. Think about that, all right? My three steps
that I put in the article, let's see if there's
still true four years later. Number one, identify the toxic
(36:01):
people and their influences on you. I would argue today
still that every one of us has someone in our
lives whom we love and admire, but has a way
about them that can bring us down every time we're
around them. You know the phone rings and you're like, oh,
do I want to take that call right now? Because
(36:22):
I know how I'm going to feel when I get
off the call.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Or someone that they are always in conflict with someone
else or someone, or victimized by someone or someone, something
or someone, always a victim to life. That can drain
us energy is contagious, and when someone sees everything in
life as a fight or a slight against them, it
(36:50):
leads them to a very dark place and can pull
us down. I would encourage a conversation with them about that,
and that's going to require what having boundaries about what
you allow in conversations. It requires open and honest communication,
(37:13):
which is what healthy relationships have. So if you're going
to stay in relationship with this type of person, it's
going to require boundaries. So if you've identified that they're
ugly is destroying your beauty, you have to identify what
it is about their personality or character and then take
(37:36):
the first step in your makeovers. So when you're aware,
you can prepare by creating these healthy boundaries between you
and this person, which is step two in the article.
And we'll have a link to this article in the
show notes. By the way, if you want to go
back and reread, take something.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Else from it.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
So implementing boundaries, I find in my coaching practice is
one of the most difficult things for people who are
highly empathetic, who are people pleasers and all of these
types of things who are kind to do because there's
a conflict of values. I call it a misunderstanding of
(38:19):
values that implementing boundaries somehow feels conflictuous to them. It
feels like they're being unkind. But you know what, kindness
extends to yourself as well, and open and honest communication
is kind and compassionate. Conflict does not need to be
(38:42):
rude or ugly.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Actually, Christina and I have talked about this in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
That's a retreat.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Boundaries protect your energy and your emotional wellbeing. So let's
be clear. Boundaries are for you. You may have heard
it said that good vents doesn't make good neighbors. Well,
that should be your daily beauty regime, if you will.
Your fence is to define your mental and emotional property
and it's your responsibility to maintain it. And the most
(39:11):
important boundary is to stay aware when their ugly appears.
Choose not to react, respond, or participate in any way
that's going to fuel more negativity. Use the power of
your beauty instead of letting it be turned into a weakness.
(39:33):
Use the power of your beauty instead. According to what
the situation calls for, perhaps you can acknowledge their experience,
express empathy, and then redirect them to something positive, shine
a light for them to follow. But if they don't
(39:53):
move on, that was their choice. You are responsible for
you and not the now. If this is someone on
TV or in the news, you have the choice of
your exposure. Limits are boundaries. Decide how much time that
(40:13):
you're going to allow yourself each day and from what
source to get the messages that matter. I have clients
creating their own suffering by overexposure.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
To the news.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Look, pain in life is inevitable, while suffering is optional,
Meaning there are things we have no control over that
hurts us. But when we prolong our viewing, our listening
and discussing a topic, we're now creating our own suffering.
(40:48):
So if you have the news on twenty four to seven,
I have no doubt that you're suffering, that you're stressed,
and that you're creating negativity in your mindset. If you
listen to opinion news rather than a summary daily report,
(41:08):
I have no doubt that you're also opinionated. I'll share
my boundary when it comes to this. I watch one
half hour of local news and one half hour of
national international combination news daily.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
That's it. I have a local news.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
App on my phone that if there were an emergency
in my area, I would receive a warning. My news
intake is early evening, not before bed, and not upon waking.
This works for me, So what works for you. I've
found the middle of the road source. It's not far
(41:55):
left and it's not far right.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
I feel like I get a middle of the road.
No opinion.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
It is what it is report and that's what I'm
looking for. And this leads to step number three. Learning
to love yourself or love yourself again means staying beautiful.
So one top beauty secret, if you will, is to
surround yourself with positive, upbeat people. Back to Jim Brown's
(42:29):
theory of the five people you spend your most time with.
This includes your television exposure, your news exposure. Who are
you surrounding yourself with? This is the best moodlifter and
frown filler.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
On the market.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Avoiding those who are negative, downbeat, highly conflictual, and perpetual
victims of life is a great prescription. But sometimes the
relationship is one that requires contact. Right, so remember this
(43:06):
stain beautiful does not mean you step aside and allow
someone to bulldoze through your life's fence. It means you
stay true to yourself fence posts firmly cemented. And when
(43:26):
we say the relationship means you may require contact, what
if it's a boss, a co worker, a relationship you
can't quite leave Because sometimes boundaries, even with family relationships,
mean we have to create an estrangement. Sometimes it's more
(43:48):
other relationships, even outside of family, so again, fence posts, firmly,
firmly cemented, keep to your side of the fence, keep
it beautiful.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
Whether they like.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
It and appreciate it or not, you don't need to
defend it. It's always better to show than to tell.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
Write that down.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
It's always better to show than to tell. And you
don't need to join them on their ugly side. That's
going to be the struggle. That's why the boundaries have
to be cemented. Don't fall into their commiserating, complaining, controlling,
or even judging them for doing so. Your true beauty
(44:31):
will strengthen and shine when you can stay on your
side of the fence. It's the beautiful people like you,
the empathetic, compassionate, sensitive, attentive, who are most in tune
with others' emotions and therefore are most vulnerable to being
pulled over to their side of the fence. So, whether
(44:53):
you have the need to please, or to rescue, or
simply don't want someone to feel alone in their misery,
your beauty can be used against you if you are
not strong and your self love and recognize that boundary
is to protect you. So learning to love yourself again
(45:15):
does take some work. So without that awareness and then preparedness,
you can easily become overpowered and weakened. At the end
of the day, it's about being responsible and accountable for
the energy you bring to every situation. Self awareness leads
(45:36):
to self mastery, and that's where self love resides. After all,
it's you who must be able to face the mirror
with confidence. And I have found that a clear conscience
is the softest pillow and there's no better remedy for
(45:56):
beauty inside and out.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
Good Night's sleep.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
It's time for our third and final break, so don't
go far. We'll be back with some closing thoughts and
even some photographs from the retreat.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
We'll be back.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Have you ever heard it said that comparison is the
thief of joy. Whether it's about where you are in
your life's journey compared to someone else, or how much
you think you should weigh.
Speaker 3 (48:27):
Let that go. It's not a competition.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
I noticed at the retreat that the five women were
in very different places on a common path, and because
of that, we're able to help one another with their
collective wisdom. It was beautiful to see them nurture one another.
And on our last morning, I found myself really immersed
in the ecosystem around us, and I drew inspiration for
(48:52):
our final meditation from that. I reminded everyone that just
like the diverse flora that was surrounding us, we were
unique and literally rooted in the same soil, if you will,
and nourished by the same elements and standing under the
same sun, yet blooming in our own way, in our
(49:14):
own time and at our own pace. We had all
weathered storms and endured trials and carried the scars of
our journeys, just like the trees and the plants around us,
perfect in our imperfections. And just as those dirty branches
were sheltering wildlife, and sometimes we found some pretty amazing
(49:37):
things hiding under there, and the fallen leaves were enriching
the earth, we too have beauty and purpose to offer
the world. So if I had a key takeaway for today,
there are a few, actually, but one would be the
let go to grow, to retreat to review. You can
(49:57):
do this in your own space and change your internal
messaging about yourself. And I promise you there's something within
you that you've forgotten about that is so amazing that
it's carried you through your life storms. Remember it and
honor it and love yourself for it. So now I'd
(50:19):
like to share some pictures from their retreat, and Dan
has so graciously loaded them up for me today. So
there we are on the last night, all with it.
We had wraps to let them blow in the wind,
and there's surf cities. Little sign I love that down
at Eltunko and there's a sign of El Tinko or
(50:41):
hanging out one of the big surf competition beaches. Lovely,
thank you. There's the cat on the left so that
I named her Mia because she answered to miamore. And
this is one of the nights. She's just resting with
me after she had given birth. Two nights before her
kittens were still born. Sadly, but I give Christina Reya's credit.
(51:05):
She literally saved her life because one was breach and
needed a lot of help. And then we're in the
city and then we're in the back of a truck
going from one area of the plantation to another at
Caha Marca. We were having a good time. That was freedom,
letting go of inhibitions, having a good time.
Speaker 3 (51:27):
Thank you Dan.
Speaker 2 (51:27):
What else we got? Oh, we have more. That is
at Caha Marca, the coffee plantation. We're overlooking the city,
so the coffee plantations, there's several of them, and we're
on the the volcano of San Salvador, Saint Salvador. And
this is a coffee plant that you see in the
(51:48):
coffee cherries they're called as they grow and then the
bean is inside, and then we're out where they're drying
the beans out in the sun.
Speaker 3 (51:57):
So cool, and they.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
Hand go through those to find the ones that are
not right. And there's sunrise meditation on one area of
the property. Then we're going down those two hundred and
seventy some odd steps to the edge of the Pacific
Ocean carrying those rocks for the release ritual. All smiles.
(52:20):
People felt good after the release. There's we had two donnas.
There's one of the Daunas releasing her rock underhanded. There's
our little workshop scenario.
Speaker 3 (52:32):
Very cool.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
We we're seting. There's one of our dinners. There's our
beautiful chef, Christina on the left. She would always come
and give us, you know, the talk us through the
menu and tell us what she prepared for us. And
it was always amazing sunset on the other side of
the property. We'd have dinner there every evening and our
breakfast would be in the morning up under the veranda.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
Just beautiful. Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
