Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello everybody, and welcome to the sixteenth season of The
Best Ever You Show. We're three shows in now, and
I'm so glad that you are here with us all today.
The show is going to be hosted by me, Elizabeth
Hamilton Garino, and doctor Katie Eastman. Katie, how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I am so excited to be here today to talk
about one of my absolute favorite topics, empowering women.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I love it. Yeah, mine too. So today we want
to begin with something that's been on our hearts, our minds,
just about every fiber of our being, the incredible power
of women owning their stories, stepping into their strength, and really, Katie,
rewriting those rules of success right, redefining success for ourselves. So,
if you look around right now, we're living through a
(00:44):
moment many moments actually, where women are reclaiming their voices,
reshaping what leadership, creativity, courage, you know, just all of it.
Looks like one of the clearest cultural examples of this
is our our lovely Taylor Swift. She has shown in
the world what happens when a woman takes control of
her narrative, reclaiming her art, her business, her identity, everything
(01:06):
or value and doing so unapologetically. She has taught millions,
millions maybe and made billions that we get to evolve, reimagine,
and rise even in the face of criticism.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yes, and it's so exciting because it's not just about music.
It's about empowering with courage, the courage to say, I
define my own life. That's what every woman listening today
needs to think about. One of my favorite sayings about
my own of my own is don't even think about
telling me I can't. I'm going to figure out how
(01:42):
I can. One of the things we love about what
Taylor Swift and other artists are representing in the women's
voice right now is they're telling us to be fully ourselves,
to be emboldened. Today's conversation of the author that we
are going to be talking to about coming back to
life really is such a powerful example of this. It's
(02:04):
not just a memoir, it's a declaration. It's about identity, resilience, power,
It's about building a life on your own terms, even
when the world tries to tell you you need to
write a different story, write your own story, because at
the heart is that your past does not define you.
Your critics, they can't control you and your dreams. They're
(02:28):
yours for you to claim at any age, in any season,
and in any way you choose.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I love that, Katie, I love that. I'm gonna find
a way. How huh, there you go? How can I
do that? So today we're going to celebrate. We're gonna
take up space. We're gonna have the courage to rewrite
your story, like Katie saying, and we're gonna have that
unshakeable get it Taylor swift right, shake it off, shake
it off belief that your life, your work, and your
voice matter. So wherever you are listening from, we invite
(02:56):
you to pause and ask yourself, where might I be shrinking?
Where can I stand taller, speak with more courage and
claim my own narrative more fully? This is about empowering women.
One of our favorite topics, finding your voice, because when
one of us steps forward and Katie chime in here
with me, shame and we make it safer and easier
for everybody else to do the same. That ripple effect
(03:18):
that we talk about of strength, creativity, and self definition,
it's unstoppable, didn't you say, Katie, We like all have
our own anthem generation.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm sixty five. Our anthem was
I Am Woman, which I've been singing all morning long
in anticipation of this, because it says we're invincible, you know,
we can do what we choose to make our minds
to do. And I am so excited about this conversation
because I'm sure there are women out there who are
(03:49):
needing to hear that they have a voice, that they
can lift themselves up, that they need to take one step.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Forward, yeah, become unstoppable. We were teetering earlier about using
the term compassionate badass, which is kind of what I know.
Katie calls herself that a lot, and I'm more and
I'm learning to more and more. What's a compassionate badass? Katie?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You know, I was asked one time what am I
the most passionate about? And I'm most passionate about compassion,
And I'm a compassionate badass because it's like, don't even
tell me that I can't use that language. Don't even
tell me that I can't stand up in a corporation
and say compassion is important.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Don't even tell me.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
What I can't do.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I don't listen to that anymore. At sixty five, man,
my spiritual muscles are a hell of a lot stronger
than they used to be. And nobody tells me what
I can't do.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Love it. So we are we can't wait to share
this conversation with you. We have Rebecca Silence coming on.
That's Rebecca with an H. It's R E B E
C c Ahsilence dot com. Go to her website while
she's while she's talking, if you want, she's got a
cool retreat she's going to tell us about. But this
is powerful, this is real, and we know for sure
that this will inspire you to rise fully into who
(05:02):
you are meant to be. It's all about authenticity, being unstoppable, empowerment,
finding your voice, whatever you want to call it. It's
just amazing. So our guest is Rebecca Silence. She's going
to be joining us here in a minute. And in
the meantime, before Rebecca gets here, Katie, I wanted to
ask you about your Broadway show and then we'll break
(05:25):
for commercials. So tell us all about this Broadway show
that you went to.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So I went to this show called Suffs and SUPs.
Is what it represents the Suffragette movement. But one of
the messages is that they don't want to be called
suffragetts because that was a pejorative. They're suffragists. And the
message at the end of the show is what today's
show is all about. They said, keep on marching. That
(05:51):
every generation has its issues that need to be resolved
for women to feel empowered. And you know, for them
it was the vote. While we have something something else
in our generation, and we always have our anthems. But
the important thing is we keep on marching. We keep
on marching together, We keep on marching regardless. We keep
(06:12):
on marching for our own dreams, for the dreams of others,
and we keep doing it together, which is one of
the things this treat that Rebecca is trying to pull
together is all about. It's come together and as women
keep on marching, march for what you believe in and
what you have passion for.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, and you know, as far as the Taylor Swift
phenomenon goes here, you know, the life of a showgirl.
I am just absolutely loving seeing this all unfold like today.
If you google Taylor Swift, there's a flame a heart
in flames that appears in the lower right hand corner
of Google. You click click, click, click, click, on that
(06:53):
and you get to solve puzzles to figure out twelve
cities with twelve orange doors and all this stuff. So
she has released this new album in just pure geniusness,
several variations of the CDs, the albums on YouTube, there's
music video teasers, and today at seven o'clock PM Eastern,
(07:14):
the Life of Ophelia gets released. And what I'm loving
about this Katie is not just all the music and everything,
but her messaging, her lyrics, her you know, her heart's
right there. You can just feel everything. Everything she's gone
through shows in everything she does in her music, in
the interviews, but also what I'm seeing as she released
this Life of a Showgirl out into the movie theaters
(07:38):
is families, you know, generations or you know moms, dad's
kids together and they're rock in the movie theater like
it's a concert. They're jumping around and trading bracelets and everything,
and it's just it's just so lovely how she's bringing
all of us men, women, generations of people together for
(08:00):
a common topic and bond and that is just love, love, love,
instead of fight fight, fight and hate hate hate and
all these things.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Right, She's raising the vibration the energy in the world
so much to a loving energy, and that is the
most powerful way to make any social change. And when
I was in at the end of Sucks, when they
sing keep on Marching, there was, you know, hot, five
hundred thousand or five hundred people in this room, and
(08:30):
oh my god, every single person stood up immediately and
just clapped and roared, and it was so energizing. And
that's what we all need. We need to be energized
right now. We all need to be lifted up, and
we need to raise our voices, which is what our
author is about to talk about.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, and if you don't feel like you know you're
in that space right now, you know it's a it's
a great moment to implement what we call is like
a pause for peace. And I want to before we
before we break for commercial I just want to you
guys all know that doctor Katie and I I'm going
to give her full name, actually, doctor Katie Eastman and
I Elizabeth Hamilton Greno have written a new book. We
(09:09):
spent this year writing a book. It is coming out
April twenty first, twenty twenty six. It is called The
Piece Guidebook and it is available for pre order and Katie,
you know what fun that was to write that book
with you, like wrote itself, didn't it? It did?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It did. We would each take turns, we'd have ideas
that would come to us in our dreams.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
We'd share it with the other one the next morning.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And say, of course, yes, that's it. Yep, let's let's
go with it. And the whole book just gives practical
tools about how we can lift each other up, we
can support one another, we can promote peace in our
own lives. Inner piece, outer piece, global piece. I just
loved being a part of it. And yes, it wrote itself.
(09:52):
We were just so synchronistically connected in this yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, And I love the fact that it so it
stays true to the guidebooks here and Katie has uplifting
her amazing book. Together we wrote Percolate. We've got other books,
a changed guidebook, the Success Guidebook, and you're following now
the Peace Guidebook. And what I love also about the
book is that there are other people who join us
(10:16):
in the book, including our guests that we're about to have.
So Rebecca's story is in our book, so that ties
all together. But also a couple of the Savannah bananas
are in the book. We've got Christopher Radco, so many people, wright,
Katie Michael, actor, Michael McLoone. It's just like a powerful
group of people who kind of just showed magically showed up,
(10:37):
didn't they. It was like, yes, it's so cool.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Some people that are our teachers and ministers, and they're
all peacemakers in their own daily lives. They're not all famous.
Some are, some aren't, and it's just a diverse walk
of life. And we're so proud of the fact that
our forward is written by Desmond Tutu's daughter and Mofo
(11:05):
did not even hesitate. She, Reverend Mofo, said yes, I'd
love to be a part of this. So it's got
a global part of the experience and we just think it's.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Meant to be.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, all right, so everybody, We will be right back
after this message with our guest, Rebecca Silence. She is
the author of Coming Back to Life, and she will
talk to us about her book, her life, and all
about her new retreat.
Speaker 4 (11:29):

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Thank you for being with us here on the Best
Ever You Show. I'm your host, Elizabeth Hamilton Garrito here
with doctor Katie Eastman and our guest Rebecca Silence, Rebecca,
how are you today?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Well, let's change some lives, make some magic, and own
our voices. I'm so grateful to be here with both
of you.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
It is so nice to have you, Rebecca, and we
want to start by asking you because a lot of
people don't understand what the word voice means and what
is an empowered voice? What does a woman's empowered voice
mean to you? What are you trying to say?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I love this question, so I wrote Coming Back to
Life because I wanted there to be a book out
there about what's right with us that gives us access
to the truth of who we are. And when I'm
talking about owning your voice and breaking the silence, I'm
talking about being able to access your truth so you
(13:16):
can express it from a place of power. And you know,
power is relaxed. It isn't about force. So when we
speak in our relaxed power and own it, we are
living and we are able to be related too. So
often we avoid telling our truth because we don't want
(13:38):
to upset anyone or anything. And I want us owning
our voice so that people can meet the reals and experience.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
The real ess.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That's so great, Rebecca, that you're helping people find their voice.
What inner transformation do you hope that women experience through
your work.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
I created what I call the practice of emotional because
we all have a survival self and a healed self,
and that survival self is who we learned it's okay
to be. And when it comes to our voice, we
learned what's acceptable and what's not. And so often as
women to make sure everybody else is happy and comfortable,
(14:18):
even at our own expense. Then we have this healed
self which most women never meet. That healed self is
your highest, wisest you. It's the truth of who we are.
And in my work, I want people to know the
difference between their survival self and to have experienced designing
their healed self, so that healed version of you can
(14:41):
be in charge of the mission called your life unapologetically,
fully expressed, and fully authentic.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So, Rebecca, we have us saying that we follow all
the time. It's like we are a no fluff zone.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
One of the things we love about you and your
work and your book is that it's practical. Can you
name some of the practical tools that you teach women.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yes. So with the practice of emotional healing, I teach
that we have five emotions.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Everything else is related to how we're feeling about the
external world.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Right.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
We weren't born knowing guilt or shame or rejection or
embarrassment or jealousy, for example. We learned how to experience
those things and be those things underneath it all, there
are just five emotions anger, fear, grief, joy, and excitement.
(15:39):
And when we can get to the real human emotion
that isn't right or wrong.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Or good or bad, just our beautiful.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Humanity and feel it and release it powerfully and fully.
What's underneath is.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
The truth, our deepest truth, our deepest desire.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
And I want us fulfilled and free and emotionally clear
so we can experience our highest self and hear our
own voice and divine guidance as well.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
So, Rebecca, I love that, and I love the fact
that you're teaching women and helping women reach their highest potential.
Who are the women that you want most to reach
and what challenges do you think that they're facing.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Oh my gosh, So here's the thing. The women that
care so much every day about giving their best and
being their best for humanity, those are my.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
People, right, just like the two of you.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
And it's such an honor to have contributed to the
Peace guide Book, you know, and to be a woman
using our voice to make a healed difference. The women
that want that, I say, the world needs you healed
so you can make your difference. And my definition of
healing is freedom. I want us free. I don't want
(16:55):
us believing falsely that anything needs to change for us
to be okay or for us to be able to
be fully honest. So my clients are government officials. They
are entrepreneurs with multiple businesses. They are authors, they are moms,
they are wives, they are philanthropists, they are pillars of
(17:16):
their community. But the biggest thing is they care about
their impact on each other. And I always say, be
careful with each other's hearts. And the women that care
about being careful with people's hearts, those are my people,
just like the two of you.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
So, Rebecca, we are visionaries. And when we wrote our book,
we envision at least a million people practicing peace on
a daily basis. What's your vision of the collective change?
If women do what you're asking them to do, what's your.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Vision we're breaking generational trauma cycles quite frankly, right, we
inherited carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.
We inherit pressure and overwhelm that isn't even ours. And
I love Taylor Swift's movement. And I watched the video.
I was in the theater with my ten year old
and her best friend just the night it came out
(18:13):
the message that there really is nothing to lose when
we're authentic and you know, not walking on eggshells or
editing ourselves in an effort to keep the peace at
our own expense. I want us peaceful because we said
the hard truth. We stood for what's right and correct.
(18:34):
We were our best for each other. And when we're
emotionally healed, we're actually the age that we are, which
makes it a lot easier to tell our truth without
a fear of fallout. So we're breaking cycles and modeling
and being an example of full self expression in a
way I think the world needs now more than ever before.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Rebecca, You've got this amazing retreat coming up. Tell us
all about it.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
In your voice.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
A retreat. It's my birthday week. I'll be turning forty five.
I've done dozens of retreats over the years, hundreds upon
hundreds of graduates, and I teach my practice of emotional healing,
which is seven steps, seven breakthroughs, and seven transformation.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Over three days with me.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
So the women that care so much and give their
all and serve every single day get to come to
me for three days, just outside of Denver, Colorado, and
they get to be held. And if you've ever wondered
if your truth could make things worse, and if you've
ever wondered, is there more you could be doing to
make a more healed difference. If you've answered yes to
(19:37):
either one of those questions, I want you with me,
and you get to exhale, you get to put it
all down, and you.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Get to be held.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
You're the glue, You're the one that keeps it together
and gives so much every single day. And then if
you are held and fulfilled and fully expressed, you get
to enjoy the experience of service. I think so many women.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
In leadership are stressed out.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
By having so much to do and having so much
that they want to be able to give. And I
want you fulfilled and free and powerfully relaxed, so that
your voice can serve you as much as it serves
every life you touch.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
When is your retreat and where is it again?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
It is November fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth. This fall fall
in Colorado is gorgeous just outside of Denver, Colorado, So
you fly into Denver, take a shuttle into the mountains.
All accommodations are included, The views are spectacular, the experience
of personalized breakthrough support with me. I was named the
(20:39):
world's leading love coach and the top emotional health and
relationship coach in the world by Business Insider in twenty
twenty two, you get the best of me personally and
guaranteed life changing breakthrough and the practice of emotional healing,
along with a sisterhood of women like me, doctor Katie
and Elizabeth that will support you and your work and
(21:02):
reflect back to you the best of you.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I think what we're saying in general today is take
the first step. What do you need to do to
be a better you? That's what best over you is
all about. What is stirring inside of you, that is
wanting to be stronger, wiser, out there, freer. That's what
(21:27):
your voice is and take the first step, whether it
be pick up the book, go to the retreat, whatever
it is, take a step, love it.

Hello everybody, and welcome to the sixteenth season of The

I'm so glad that you are here with us all today.
The show is going to be hosted by me, Elizabeth
Hamilton Garino, and doctor Katie Eastman. Katie, how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I am so excited to be here today to talk
about one of my absolute favorite topics, empowering women.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I love it. Yeah, mine too. So today we want
to begin with something that's been on our hearts, our minds,
just about every fiber of our being, the incredible power
of women owning their stories, stepping into their strength, and really, Katie,
rewriting those rules of success right, redefining success for ourselves. So,
if you look around right now, we're living through a
(00:44):
moment many moments actually, where women are reclaiming their voices,
reshaping what leadership, creativity, courage, you know, just all of it.
Looks like one of the clearest cultural examples of this
is our our lovely Taylor Swift. She has shown in
the world what happens when a woman takes control of
her narrative, reclaiming her art, her business, her identity, everything
(01:06):
or value and doing so unapologetically. She has taught millions,
millions maybe and made billions that we get to evolve, reimagine,
and rise even in the face of criticism.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yes, and it's so exciting because it's not just about music.
It's about empowering with courage, the courage to say, I
define my own life. That's what every woman listening today
needs to think about. One of my favorite sayings about
my own of my own is don't even think about
telling me I can't. I'm going to figure out how
(01:42):
I can. One of the things we love about what
Taylor Swift and other artists are representing in the women's
voice right now is they're telling us to be fully ourselves,
to be emboldened. Today's conversation of the author that we
are going to be talking to about coming back to
life really is such a powerful example of this. It's
(02:04):
not just a memoir, it's a declaration. It's about identity, resilience, power,
It's about building a life on your own terms, even
when the world tries to tell you you need to
write a different story, write your own story, because at
the heart is that your past does not define you.
Your critics, they can't control you and your dreams. They're
(02:28):
yours for you to claim at any age, in any season,
and in any way you choose.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I love that, Katie, I love that. I'm gonna find
a way. How huh, there you go? How can I
do that? So today we're going to celebrate. We're gonna
take up space. We're gonna have the courage to rewrite
your story, like Katie saying, and we're gonna have that
unshakeable get it Taylor swift right, shake it off, shake
it off belief that your life, your work, and your
voice matter. So wherever you are listening from, we invite
(02:56):
you to pause and ask yourself, where might I be shrinking?
Where can I stand taller, speak with more courage and
claim my own narrative more fully? This is about empowering women.
One of our favorite topics, finding your voice, because when
one of us steps forward and Katie chime in here
with me, shame and we make it safer and easier
for everybody else to do the same. That ripple effect
(03:18):
that we talk about of strength, creativity, and self definition,
it's unstoppable, didn't you say, Katie, We like all have
our own anthem generation.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm sixty five. Our anthem was
I Am Woman, which I've been singing all morning long
in anticipation of this, because it says we're invincible, you know,
we can do what we choose to make our minds
to do. And I am so excited about this conversation
because I'm sure there are women out there who are
(03:49):
needing to hear that they have a voice, that they
can lift themselves up, that they need to take one step.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Forward, yeah, become unstoppable. We were teetering earlier about using
the term compassionate badass, which is kind of what I know.
Katie calls herself that a lot, and I'm more and
I'm learning to more and more. What's a compassionate badass? Katie?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You know, I was asked one time what am I
the most passionate about? And I'm most passionate about compassion,
And I'm a compassionate badass because it's like, don't even
tell me that I can't use that language. Don't even
tell me that I can't stand up in a corporation
and say compassion is important.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Don't even tell me.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
What I can't do.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I don't listen to that anymore. At sixty five, man,
my spiritual muscles are a hell of a lot stronger
than they used to be. And nobody tells me what
I can't do.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Love it. So we are we can't wait to share
this conversation with you. We have Rebecca Silence coming on.
That's Rebecca with an H. It's R E B E
C c Ahsilence dot com. Go to her website while
she's while she's talking, if you want, she's got a
cool retreat she's going to tell us about. But this
is powerful, this is real, and we know for sure
that this will inspire you to rise fully into who
(05:02):
you are meant to be. It's all about authenticity, being unstoppable, empowerment,
finding your voice, whatever you want to call it. It's
just amazing. So our guest is Rebecca Silence. She's going
to be joining us here in a minute. And in
the meantime, before Rebecca gets here, Katie, I wanted to
ask you about your Broadway show and then we'll break
(05:25):
for commercials. So tell us all about this Broadway show
that you went to.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So I went to this show called Suffs and SUPs.
Is what it represents the Suffragette movement. But one of
the messages is that they don't want to be called
suffragetts because that was a pejorative. They're suffragists. And the
message at the end of the show is what today's
show is all about. They said, keep on marching. That
(05:51):
every generation has its issues that need to be resolved
for women to feel empowered. And you know, for them
it was the vote. While we have something something else
in our generation, and we always have our anthems. But
the important thing is we keep on marching. We keep
on marching together, We keep on marching regardless. We keep
(06:12):
on marching for our own dreams, for the dreams of others,
and we keep doing it together, which is one of
the things this treat that Rebecca is trying to pull
together is all about. It's come together and as women
keep on marching, march for what you believe in and
what you have passion for.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, and you know, as far as the Taylor Swift
phenomenon goes here, you know, the life of a showgirl.
I am just absolutely loving seeing this all unfold like today.
If you google Taylor Swift, there's a flame a heart
in flames that appears in the lower right hand corner
of Google. You click click, click, click, click, on that
(06:53):
and you get to solve puzzles to figure out twelve
cities with twelve orange doors and all this stuff. So
she has released this new album in just pure geniusness,
several variations of the CDs, the albums on YouTube, there's
music video teasers, and today at seven o'clock PM Eastern,
(07:14):
the Life of Ophelia gets released. And what I'm loving
about this Katie is not just all the music and everything,
but her messaging, her lyrics, her you know, her heart's
right there. You can just feel everything. Everything she's gone
through shows in everything she does in her music, in
the interviews, but also what I'm seeing as she released
this Life of a Showgirl out into the movie theaters
(07:38):
is families, you know, generations or you know moms, dad's
kids together and they're rock in the movie theater like
it's a concert. They're jumping around and trading bracelets and everything,
and it's just it's just so lovely how she's bringing
all of us men, women, generations of people together for
(08:00):
a common topic and bond and that is just love, love, love,
instead of fight fight, fight and hate hate hate and
all these things.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Right, She's raising the vibration the energy in the world
so much to a loving energy, and that is the
most powerful way to make any social change. And when
I was in at the end of Sucks, when they
sing keep on Marching, there was, you know, hot, five
hundred thousand or five hundred people in this room, and
(08:30):
oh my god, every single person stood up immediately and
just clapped and roared, and it was so energizing. And
that's what we all need. We need to be energized
right now. We all need to be lifted up, and
we need to raise our voices, which is what our
author is about to talk about.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, and if you don't feel like you know you're
in that space right now, you know it's a it's
a great moment to implement what we call is like
a pause for peace. And I want to before we
before we break for commercial I just want to you
guys all know that doctor Katie and I I'm going
to give her full name, actually, doctor Katie Eastman and
I Elizabeth Hamilton Greno have written a new book. We
(09:09):
spent this year writing a book. It is coming out
April twenty first, twenty twenty six. It is called The
Piece Guidebook and it is available for pre order and Katie,
you know what fun that was to write that book
with you, like wrote itself, didn't it? It did?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It did. We would each take turns, we'd have ideas
that would come to us in our dreams.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
We'd share it with the other one the next morning.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And say, of course, yes, that's it. Yep, let's let's
go with it. And the whole book just gives practical
tools about how we can lift each other up, we
can support one another, we can promote peace in our
own lives. Inner piece, outer piece, global piece. I just
loved being a part of it. And yes, it wrote itself.
(09:52):
We were just so synchronistically connected in this yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, And I love the fact that it so it
stays true to the guidebooks here and Katie has uplifting
her amazing book. Together we wrote Percolate. We've got other books,
a changed guidebook, the Success Guidebook, and you're following now
the Peace Guidebook. And what I love also about the
book is that there are other people who join us
(10:16):
in the book, including our guests that we're about to have.
So Rebecca's story is in our book, so that ties
all together. But also a couple of the Savannah bananas
are in the book. We've got Christopher Radco, so many people, wright,
Katie Michael, actor, Michael McLoone. It's just like a powerful
group of people who kind of just showed magically showed up,
(10:37):
didn't they. It was like, yes, it's so cool.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Some people that are our teachers and ministers, and they're
all peacemakers in their own daily lives. They're not all famous.
Some are, some aren't, and it's just a diverse walk
of life. And we're so proud of the fact that
our forward is written by Desmond Tutu's daughter and Mofo
(11:05):
did not even hesitate. She, Reverend Mofo, said yes, I'd
love to be a part of this. So it's got
a global part of the experience and we just think it's.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Meant to be.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, all right, so everybody, We will be right back
after this message with our guest, Rebecca Silence. She is
the author of Coming Back to Life, and she will
talk to us about her book, her life, and all
about her new retreat.
Speaker 4 (11:29):

and doctor Katie Eastman bring decades of wisdom and resilience,
leadership and compassionate change. Together, they created The Peace Guidebook,

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Thank you for being with us here on the Best
Ever You Show. I'm your host, Elizabeth Hamilton Garrito here
with doctor Katie Eastman and our guest Rebecca Silence, Rebecca,
how are you today?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Well, let's change some lives, make some magic, and own
our voices. I'm so grateful to be here with both
of you.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
It is so nice to have you, Rebecca, and we
want to start by asking you because a lot of
people don't understand what the word voice means and what
is an empowered voice? What does a woman's empowered voice
mean to you? What are you trying to say?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I love this question, so I wrote Coming Back to
Life because I wanted there to be a book out
there about what's right with us that gives us access
to the truth of who we are. And when I'm
talking about owning your voice and breaking the silence, I'm
talking about being able to access your truth so you
(13:16):
can express it from a place of power. And you know,
power is relaxed. It isn't about force. So when we
speak in our relaxed power and own it, we are
living and we are able to be related too. So
often we avoid telling our truth because we don't want
(13:38):
to upset anyone or anything. And I want us owning
our voice so that people can meet the reals and experience.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
The real ess.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That's so great, Rebecca, that you're helping people find their voice.
What inner transformation do you hope that women experience through
your work.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
I created what I call the practice of emotional because
we all have a survival self and a healed self,
and that survival self is who we learned it's okay
to be. And when it comes to our voice, we
learned what's acceptable and what's not. And so often as
women to make sure everybody else is happy and comfortable,
(14:18):
even at our own expense. Then we have this healed
self which most women never meet. That healed self is
your highest, wisest you. It's the truth of who we are.
And in my work, I want people to know the
difference between their survival self and to have experienced designing
their healed self, so that healed version of you can
(14:41):
be in charge of the mission called your life unapologetically,
fully expressed, and fully authentic.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So, Rebecca, we have us saying that we follow all
the time. It's like we are a no fluff zone.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
One of the things we love about you and your
work and your book is that it's practical. Can you
name some of the practical tools that you teach women.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yes. So with the practice of emotional healing, I teach
that we have five emotions.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Everything else is related to how we're feeling about the
external world.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Right.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
We weren't born knowing guilt or shame or rejection or
embarrassment or jealousy, for example. We learned how to experience
those things and be those things underneath it all, there
are just five emotions anger, fear, grief, joy, and excitement.
(15:39):
And when we can get to the real human emotion
that isn't right or wrong.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Or good or bad, just our beautiful.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Humanity and feel it and release it powerfully and fully.
What's underneath is.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
The truth, our deepest truth, our deepest desire.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
And I want us fulfilled and free and emotionally clear
so we can experience our highest self and hear our
own voice and divine guidance as well.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
So, Rebecca, I love that, and I love the fact
that you're teaching women and helping women reach their highest potential.
Who are the women that you want most to reach
and what challenges do you think that they're facing.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Oh my gosh, So here's the thing. The women that
care so much every day about giving their best and
being their best for humanity, those are my.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
People, right, just like the two of you.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
And it's such an honor to have contributed to the
Peace guide Book, you know, and to be a woman
using our voice to make a healed difference. The women
that want that, I say, the world needs you healed
so you can make your difference. And my definition of
healing is freedom. I want us free. I don't want
(16:55):
us believing falsely that anything needs to change for us
to be okay or for us to be able to
be fully honest. So my clients are government officials. They
are entrepreneurs with multiple businesses. They are authors, they are moms,
they are wives, they are philanthropists, they are pillars of
(17:16):
their community. But the biggest thing is they care about
their impact on each other. And I always say, be
careful with each other's hearts. And the women that care
about being careful with people's hearts, those are my people,
just like the two of you.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
So, Rebecca, we are visionaries. And when we wrote our book,
we envision at least a million people practicing peace on
a daily basis. What's your vision of the collective change?
If women do what you're asking them to do, what's your.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Vision we're breaking generational trauma cycles quite frankly, right, we
inherited carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.
We inherit pressure and overwhelm that isn't even ours. And
I love Taylor Swift's movement. And I watched the video.
I was in the theater with my ten year old
and her best friend just the night it came out
(18:13):
the message that there really is nothing to lose when
we're authentic and you know, not walking on eggshells or
editing ourselves in an effort to keep the peace at
our own expense. I want us peaceful because we said
the hard truth. We stood for what's right and correct.
(18:34):
We were our best for each other. And when we're
emotionally healed, we're actually the age that we are, which
makes it a lot easier to tell our truth without
a fear of fallout. So we're breaking cycles and modeling
and being an example of full self expression in a
way I think the world needs now more than ever before.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Rebecca, You've got this amazing retreat coming up. Tell us
all about it.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
In your voice.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
A retreat. It's my birthday week. I'll be turning forty five.
I've done dozens of retreats over the years, hundreds upon
hundreds of graduates, and I teach my practice of emotional healing,
which is seven steps, seven breakthroughs, and seven transformation.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Over three days with me.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
So the women that care so much and give their
all and serve every single day get to come to
me for three days, just outside of Denver, Colorado, and
they get to be held. And if you've ever wondered
if your truth could make things worse, and if you've
ever wondered, is there more you could be doing to
make a more healed difference. If you've answered yes to
(19:37):
either one of those questions, I want you with me,
and you get to exhale, you get to put it
all down, and you.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Get to be held.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
You're the glue, You're the one that keeps it together
and gives so much every single day. And then if
you are held and fulfilled and fully expressed, you get
to enjoy the experience of service. I think so many women.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
In leadership are stressed out.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
By having so much to do and having so much
that they want to be able to give. And I
want you fulfilled and free and powerfully relaxed, so that
your voice can serve you as much as it serves
every life you touch.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
When is your retreat and where is it again?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
It is November fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth. This fall fall
in Colorado is gorgeous just outside of Denver, Colorado, So
you fly into Denver, take a shuttle into the mountains.
All accommodations are included, The views are spectacular, the experience
of personalized breakthrough support with me. I was named the
(20:39):
world's leading love coach and the top emotional health and
relationship coach in the world by Business Insider in twenty
twenty two, you get the best of me personally and
guaranteed life changing breakthrough and the practice of emotional healing,
along with a sisterhood of women like me, doctor Katie
and Elizabeth that will support you and your work and
(21:02):
reflect back to you the best of you.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I think what we're saying in general today is take
the first step. What do you need to do to
be a better you? That's what best over you is
all about. What is stirring inside of you, that is
wanting to be stronger, wiser, out there, freer. That's what
(21:27):
your voice is and take the first step, whether it
be pick up the book, go to the retreat, whatever
it is, take a step, love it.
