This powerful conversation demonstrates the profound healing possible when we choose truth over fear and trust our body's wisdom.

ย ๐ŸŽฏ What You'll Discover:
โ€ข The reality of living with Breast Implant Illness symptoms for 23 years

โ€ข The connection between adoption trauma, rejection, and body image choices
ย โ€ข Why trusting your intuitive knowing is crucial for healing
โ€ข Immediate and life-changing benefits of explant surgery
ย โ€ข The spiritual awakening that accompanies authentic self-love
๐Ÿ’ซ Layci's Transformation Story: Born biracial in 1981 and adopted into a loving family, Layci's early experiences with rejection shaped her relationship with her body. At 19, after becoming pregnant as a high school senior, she entered the dancing industry where societal pressures led her to get implants without understanding long-term health implications.
โšก The Health Crisis (2023): After 5 years of intuitive knowing something was wrong, everything "went south" after her daughter's graduation party:
  • Chronic fatigue so severe she couldn't reach the kitchen
  • Shooting pains from neck down left arm with tingling and numbness
  • Electric shocks behind eyes, chest, and thighs during sleep
  • Blood pressure spikes triggered by refined sugar
  • Muscle fasciculations throughout entire body
  • Severe brain fog affecting work performance as a manager

  • Libido increased significantly after years of hormonal disruption
  • Physical sensation returned - ability to feel family's heartbeats during hugs
  • Dark under-eye circles disappeared the day of surgery
  • Shortness of breath completely resolved
๐Ÿ™ The Spiritual Component: Layci describes her explant as "prophetic" - a new chapter in her calling to minister to women and young girls. She experienced divine guidance throughout her decision-making process and views her story as testimony meant to set others free from shame and fear.
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Family Impact: With four children (ages 26, 19, 14, and 10), Layci used her explant journey as a powerful teaching tool for her three daughters about self-acceptance and not conforming to societal beauty standards. Her supportive husband reinforced that love isn't based on physical modifications. ๐Ÿ’Ž Key Insights & Quotes:
  • "I feel sexier than I have in probably 15-20 years - I'm genuinely me"
  • "I'm going to be able to hold that grandbaby to my chest and feel their heartbeat"
  • "This opened up connection, not isolation"
  • "Our story and testimony is what's going to set somebody else free"
  • "My truth is God's truth - He made us beautifully and perfect"
๐ŸŽฏ Perfect For:
  • Women experiencing unexplained health symptoms
  • Those considering explant surgery
  • People dealing with body image issues rooted in early trauma
  • Anyone learning to trust their intuitive knowing
  • Those seeking spiritual perspective on healing journeys

amazing things with anxiety and it's getting us prepared for
this well, I have a very special guest today that we.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Want to kind of get deeply and just really so let.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Me say this because we have been trying to get
this beautiful young lady in for the whole month. She
was one of the first ones to volunteer to share
her voice in this journey. And one thing is I'm
deeply honor to just share this space with all of
these women, but this one right here.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Is because I see something.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I see a likeness of me and what I mean
a likeness to see I see another beautiful brown woman
as well as myself, and it is and when I
say this, listeners, and I hope y'all hear me clear,
it's uncommon to see a lot of women of color
that are being honest about their surgery and the expect

(02:08):
journey and having a courage to share their stories with others.
And so just knowing that this incredible woman is a
warrior who I feel that story will inspire and empower
you on Miss Lacy Aguire, she is a be a
breast implant ill, this survivor who has transferred her pain
into purpose and her struggle and the strength. You know,

(02:30):
Lazy's journey is a beautiful reminder that sometimes our greatest
challenge become our greatest teachers, and the healing often acts
us to become the woman we never knew we needed
to be. Her story demonstrates the incredible power of trusting
our bodies, advocating for ourselves, and choosing love over fear
even when the path forward seems uncertain. But before we

(02:51):
bring Lazie to the days, let's take a quick break
of right, it's a gurty goddess, not me Banks here
on this season and stuff Love Podcast, and we'll be
right back.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
And once into two focuses on healing. Always for me,
if I look good, then I feel good. If I
feel good, then I share the good. If I share
the good, then I celebrate the good. If I celebrate
the good, then I live the good. So I can
be paid to be my greatest. But I have to
learn the good to be the good.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
So what does it take to be the greatest?

Speaker 3 (03:22):
It's as simple as a free fifteen minute consultation. Be
kind to yourself, and He'll always.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Hey, it's your gourd.

Speaker 2 (03:32):

much more by bridging the gap between them all.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
All right, beautiful people will welcome back now. As I
sit here preparing for my own expert journey. You know,
I am continue amazed.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
By the courage and the resilience of the women who
have walked this path before me.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
You know, each story that I hear as another layer
of strength to my own journey and reminds me that
we are a part of a journey that is so
much bigger than ourselves, a community of women choosing truth
over comfort and healing over hiding. As I mentioned before,
Lacey's story is particularly powerful because it shows us that

(04:41):
healing is not a destination, but a continuous journey of
self discovery, self advocacy, and self love. Her experience demonstrates
that sometimes the most difficult chapters of our lives become
the foundation for our most authentic living well.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Today we explore Lacey's.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Beginning story, the awakening that changed everything, the courage it
took to choose herself over societal expectations, and the beautiful
transformation that has emerged from her commitment to healing. Lacy, beautiful,
thank you for being here with us today, and I
know it takes tremendous courage just to share your most
vulnerable story.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
How are you.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
I'm good. I am good. Thank you for asking how
are you?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I'm good as I'm two weeks out and so I
am ready. I am ready to join this amazing club.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
I am excited for you. I am five weeks out
and I can all I can say is wow, what
a difference.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Beautiful, beautiful, Well, before we get into it, let's hold
that for a moment, and I want to do we
do a nice grounding meditation before we get into the topic.
And here, all right, my listeners, right here, you know
how we do. If you could just get into a
nice comfortable position, all right.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Place both hands Jills on your heart, and take three
deep breath, three deep loving breaths, and now feel your
heart beating steadily, reliably, keeping you alive and vibrant. In
this moment, announcind waves of gratitude to your body for

(06:22):
everything that it has carried, everything that it has endured,
and everything that it continues to do for you each
and every day. Thank your body for its wisdom, for
the messages it sends to you, for its incredible capacity

(06:43):
to heal, to regenerate, and to transform. Now acts your
body now with genuine curiosity, What do you need need
to know today? What wisdom do you have for me?

(07:04):
And I want you to listen with your whole being
to whatever arises, maybe a sense, a feeling, words, or
just simply a knowing, perhaps as guidance about rest, or
movement or nourishment. Maybe it's encouragement about a decision that

(07:28):
you're facing. Maybe it's a simple reminder of how deeply
loved and supported that you are in this moment. But
whatever you receive, holded with reference ingratitude. Your body is
your greatest ally, your wisest teacher, and your most faithful

(07:51):
companion on this journey of life. So say to your body, now,
I trust you, I honor you, I choose to listen
to your wisdom with love, respect, and deep appreciation. Now
take one more deeper, thin and carry this sacred commitment

(08:13):
into your week. All right, my beautiful people, will welcome
back again. If you're new here to the Season and
Self Love podcast, It's something we do every day Monday
through Friday. It's just to help ground us before we
get into the top of your hand. All right, Lacy,
So let's start with just.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Getting to know who you are today. Tell us about yourself.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
What brings the most joy in your life right now?

Speaker 4 (08:38):
My family? Yeah, they I have four children and my
family is my first ministry, So definitely my family. I
wouldn't be who I am today without my family. So
that and of course the health journey, the discovery that
I am on, but first and foremost my children, my husband,

(09:01):
and my family.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Now, if it's comfortable just to go back,
can you share about when you first got your implants,
what season of your life, what were you in, and
what was happening for you then to make you choose
to get implants.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Then this is a literal a little bit vulnerable for me,
but I'm just going to be honest because this is
where I was at in life. So I was a
senior in high school and I got pregnant with my son,
who's now twenty six years old. So I graduated high school,
carried a lot of guilt, a lot of shame, can't

(09:42):
really get into all of that, but had him in
February of nineteen ninety nine and then went on did
some college. It wasn't working out for me, and I
was really young and really silly, and so at that
time I got into the dancing industry and that was
pushed because of the way my body changed so drastically.

(10:06):
Whenever I had my son, I thought, well, if I
just go and you know, everyone's like, why don't you
just get some inmplans, it'll you know, it'll fix it
and you'll make more money. And literally I said, oh, yeah,
you know, that's smart. And at that time it didn't
cost I don't think as much as it did now.
But I found a way. I made it happen. And

(10:29):
I didn't even think at that point in my life,
I was so young and so almost ignorant. I didn't
even think about the health implications. I just thought, I'm
gonna look better, make more money, I'm not gonna because
I was literally went from maybe like a small bee
to a double D with my son. And when I

(10:49):
was you know, after I breastfed and did everything else,
it was like I had I felt like I had nothing.
I know better now I did have something, but I
kind of just that's where I was at. I wanted
to be shaped like society thought was acceptable, and I
also had the intentions of making more money at that
point in my life. You know, I just thought, oh,

(11:10):
this is this is easy, this is going to be great.
And I definitely didn't think about the health implications down
the road, so that's why I got them originally, didn't
think twice about what was the ingredients or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
So yeah, well you know what, first of all, thank
you for sharing that. Thank you for sharing that. But
that's that's what most of us women do, especially because
we are insecure about our bodies.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
You know.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
For me, I used to always think I used to
be in the eady BDTD committee is what I used
to say when I was in high school, you know,
and even part of college. And I as well got
pregnant when I was nineteen years old, and so they
kind of changed the form of my body or what
I thought, what I thought of woman's body is supposed
to look like, you know, fullness. So once you know,
you lose all that baby weight, you know, then everything goes,

(11:58):
you know, everything else thatt back. But then those booths
they came after that baby was like wow.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
But then as time goes, you know, they do go away.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
I didn't get mine until after my second baby, at
thirty one years old. I was thirty one years old
when I got the implants, and I'm a little older
than you, so I knew about the consequences well with
the silicon that they were banned and then they brought
into saline.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
So when I was told that the saline was safe.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
I said, okay, that's great, I can go ahead and
get those you know as well. And I did it
for it not only for my insecurities, but also for business.
I was a model back then. I wasn't yet in
the adult industry. I was a model then, and being
a model especially you know, doing swimshuitt, lingerie, you know
all of those things. You need some breast that's gonna

(12:50):
hold that up and look good in pictures and stuff
like that. And did it helped me and help me.
Oh my god, I guess it.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Did you know? That's something that I do thank my
brain for.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
And so when you said that about being you know,
young and stupid, that's one thing I want to take
away from us is to shame. I want us to
take away the shame in it because that is where
we was at at that time. You know, that was
a season that we were in at that moment. And
so when I when I think about even going through
this whole month and even deciding to do it a

(13:23):
few months ago, like really putting the money down, putting
my you know down, I said, you know what, I
don't regret anything. And why I don't regret anything because
this is what brought me to this platform today. Because
if I wouldn't get the implants, I wouldn't have had
the courage to get into the adult industry. I wouldn't
begin to create a big name. I wouldn't have had

(13:45):
these platforms to be able to speak about self love,
about sex, relationship. You know what I'm saying, I wouldn't
be here speaking with you women, and we be in
loud and proud about choosing our bodies, even though then
we chose our bodies for something else. But I believe
if we really would have known, if we really would
have known what we was putting in our bodies.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
We would be like, oh no, hell no, sorry, yes,
but you understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, And so that's and you know, I don't want
to take that away from you, but I do want
to just really speak into my sisters and say, look, y'all,
ain't no shame in none of this that we have
done because we were doing something that we thought that
was best for us at that time, especially.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Being teen mothers.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
You know what I'm saying, And you're trying to make
money to survive, to make just survive, and you were
just doing what you knew that was around you.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Period. There is no shame in any of that.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
The good thing is that fast forward now twenty six
plus years later, you're like, Okay, hold on, hmm, let
me go back, let me go ahead and take these out.
But also, and this is what because I hear and
it's so funny, and I'm sorry, I know this.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Is supposed to be about to but it's gonna be
about us today.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
It's gonna be about all of us today, you know,
because because when I when I be in the groups,
and I love that the women share their stories, but
I want to take the I want to take And
it's so hard when I say I want to take
the anger away because the anger is there, but I
want to take the hate away because that anger could
turn into hate that a lot of the women that
I see in there, and it's like, let's do something

(15:30):
powerful with that anger. Let's do something more beneficial that's
truly going to help push the needle even more. You
understand what I'm saying, because we have to think about
where we were when we made that decision to get
those implants, you know what I'm saying. So the thing
is just let's be loud about what they are and
what they do, but let's not live in shame of it.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
If that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Oh absolutely, yeah, yeah, absolutely. I can definitely say I've
done work on myself throughout all of this. Shame off
of the women, shame off of me, guilt off of me,
guilt off of all women who do this because society
pushes a norm for us and we think we have
to conform or we think we have to meet those standards,

(16:15):
and in all reality, there's no you know the amount
of love that you have for yourself. I've taught my
daughters a great lesson throughout this, each one of them.
I have a son that's twenty six, and I have
three girls. They ranged nineteen, fourteen, and ten. And I
had those implants. I think I got those implants when
my son was two or three. So I had those

(16:36):
implants for twenty three years. And for all of those years,
I and granted I was adopted, I started out with rejection. Naomi, Okay,
I was I'm bi racial and eighty one. Let me
just give you this, back in eighty one, by racial children.
Me and my sister didn't have the same biological parents,
but we were by racial, so we were considered hard

(16:57):
to place back in eighty one option, But I have
a loving family. They had three boys. They adopted my
sister and I, and so they that that family was Caucasian,
and they and I and I never understood. You know,
growing up there was different things. I dealt with a
lot of rejection. So whenever I decided, and I know,

(17:19):
I'm kind of going everywhere, but whenever I decided I
was going to get these implants out, I literally thought
to myself, well, what if I go back? My husband
was my biggest thing. I said, what do you you know,
what do you They're not going to be like this
because I think I was a triple D by the
time it was all said and done, you know, gained

(17:40):
a little bit of weight. And he was like, I
don't I don't care because that was that little piece
of rejection coming back. But I've done a lot of
work on myself. I say all that to say this,
I've done a lot of work on myself. I've gone
through counseling, I've done different things to deal with that
shame and that guilt. And I think that God brought
this about at the right time, because there's no really
a good time to do it, you know. But the

(18:03):
nudging and the it was almost like it was a
new chapter in my life. So my daughters all three
and my daughters have seen what I went through when
I got the X plant, which was not bad. It
wasn't a bad recovery, but you know, it can be
a little painful. You're getting something cut out of your
chest that's not supposed to be in there. And I
told them, I said, let this just be a really

(18:24):
good reminder to you that you are wonderfully made, You
were perfect just the way that you are, and you
do not have to get anything put into your body
that is not meant to be there, not the way
you originally made to be accepted by society. To be
accepted by anybody in your life, they've got to love
you for you, love you for you. So it was
a big lesson for my daughters to see me go

(18:45):
through it, But it was a blessing, you know. And
it wasn't that it was a bad recovery, but it
was a really big teaching moment to just love you
for you, you know, not for what others want to
see in you.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, yeah, you know. I love that.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Thank you for even saying that, I myself have three daughters.
I have three daughters, they ten years apart, and I
mirror you in saying that this is a beautiful lesson
for them to knowing that to love yourself more than
anything but love just what God has made you.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
In giving you know, given to you.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
I think even with your unique voice of your story
in speaking and telling is that you do you do
come from a sense of abandonment, which kind of you know,
go for them, So just you moving forward, even with
your healing, could touch so many amazing people that has
just that same thing that you have and that wanted

(19:48):
to be validated or wanted to be approved enough to
be able to be loved in their life. The one
thing that I do love is that most of the
women that I talk too that their husbands have been
right there by their signs.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
You know. I read on.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
In the groups a lot that a lot of the
women don't have either they're single or they don't have
a supportive husband with that. And I can say, my
husband has been very supportive, like he was ready to do.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
It a year ago, you know. And it's good to
have that that you're able to do that. But I'm
so glad that he And it's like I can hear
him say, maybe you good just the way you are,
it doesn't matter. That's not what I fell in love
with you for. I did not fall in love with
you for the you know. And it's so funny, but

(20:40):
we as women, even the big I'm be fifty three
this year, you know what I'm saying, You.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Still think about that, You still think about, you know,
how we gonna feel sexually, how we're gonna feel, you know, sensral.
Are we still gonna have be sexy or even be
pleasing to you know, our husband eyes. That's one thing
that I want want to talk about too going forward.
Now that I know that you're that you're married, how

(21:05):
do you feel sensual wise? Do you still feel like
that that woman you know with the femininity? How was
that for you now that you remove the implants?

Speaker 4 (21:19):
I think it's even better than it was previously, because
I think, honestly, previously, the farther along I got, the
longer I had them. If I'm just being honest and
I can be real and raw, my libido was nonexistent.
My hormones were like everywhere, my sex drive was horrible.
And now that I have them out, and now that

(21:41):
I'm actually back to my natural state, I fell that
my libido levels are increasing. I feel I just feel better.
So that makes the sexuality and the side of it
that I've been missing for so many years, My poor husband,
it's just that much better. I honestly feel sexier than

(22:04):
I have in probably fifteen to twenty years.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
And I don't know how to explain that, but I
feel good and I know my husband loves that as well.
So this right here for me, did not take away
any of my feeling of feeling sexy in myself. If anything,
it made me feel more sexy, like I'm genuinely me
and I love that. I love that, so it has

(22:30):
improved the way that I feel versus the opposite, you know.
I unfortunately I have heard some women say opposite for me,
I am in love with my body.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
I am in love.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
I did get an explant with a master. I'm probably
not gonna say that, right MASTAPEXTI with a lift. I
didn't want to hear it separate, and I knew I
had some a really big test because I had gained
a little bit of weight through all of this. But
I will say very happy that I got the lift.
My scarring is minimal, and I genuinely feel like the

(23:05):
best version of me that I have felt. And I
don't know how long. When you get them removed, I
can hug my children. My little ten year old can
hug me, and you can just you know, you can
feel them on the chest. It's amazing. I remember I
got my drains out probably five or six days after

(23:26):
I had my ex plant, and it was just my
husband and I and I remember He looked at me.
He said, oh, I didn't he told me. He said,
I didn't know those drains were that long. They served
their purpose. They were really good, right, they did what
they were So afterwards, I said, yeah, they were. I
started laughing because they say little things, you know that
you laugh like, yeah, we're really enduring things. But it's
all in the healing process. So we go to eat afterwards,

(23:49):
and I said, you know what, he said what I said,
I'm going to be able. I'm having a grand baby
in December. I'm like, I'm going to be able to
hold that grand baby to my chest and they're gonna
feel my heart beat like they're gonna feel me. I'm
gonna feel them. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about when
I hug my my church family, when I hug my kids,

(24:09):
my mother.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
That's beautiful. That is so beautiful, lady.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
You know that's been I feel like, not taken from
me because I made those choices, but something that's been
blocked in my life, and it opened up more than
just I don't even know how to explain it. Not
healing because I'm healing. It just opened up connection. Yes, no,

(24:42):
we're people of connection. Not isolation, and that right there
blocks this whole upper half of your body and your
heart and your ability to have the skin to skin
and to feel your family. And I remember just crying
after I got my drains out and we were eating
and he's like your cas said, yeah, for the first

(25:04):
time in twenty something years, I'm going to be able
to feel, Yeah, my family, and they're gonna be able
to feel me and those around me and those that
I love. And it's the genuine me. And there's definitely
no shame in any of it and no guilt. It's
just all happy tears because never is a good time

(25:26):
to do it with work and you know, life, but
it is so worth it on every level. It's it's
worth it.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, so well beautiful because I got some teacher over
here myself. But that that I didn't think about that
until I had Shelley on last week.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
I believe that was last week when she said when
she was able to feel her son's heartbeat or her
daughter's heartbeat when.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
She was chest to chest now And I didn't think
about that. And then I go go back and talk
about one episode that I was talking I always talk
about taking off the mask and taking off that mask
that you carry that you have to be something for someone,
as somebody or something. And I have.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Been very honest about I had taken my mask off,
but I was still holding my mask in my hand,
you know what I mean, just to put you know, convenience,
but also in that convenience, as I was holding my mask,
I still had on my costume, and my costume was
my implant. Yeah yeah, And it was like, how can

(26:35):
I talk about self love if I'm still wearing this costume. Yes,
I've taken my mask off and still hold it in
my hand, but when can I truly be hold and
be myself without my a You understand what I'm saying,
And so I know I know that this was the
right time to do this, because, as I told my husband,

(26:55):
if I would have did this five years ago, I
don't even know if I would have had the mental
or the emotional capacity to even be able to go
through this and be so sure of myself. You understand
what I'm saying, Just so sure of myself, And.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Even hearing you speak right now, it's like, Yeah, this
was the right time to do it. It truly was
the right time to do it, and the gift is
is that I'm assuming this is your first grand baby,
that you able to hold that very first grand baby,
and it's hard to heart with that grand baby. Oh
and I'm i'm I'm, I'm, I'm a yah yah, I'm

(27:33):
a ya ya. So so I know what that will
feel like. So I can only imagine. I can imagine.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah, you know, I have been to let me if
you don't mind, I'll tell you a little bit about
where something intuitively, I guess about five years ago said
you gotta get those out. I remember going to my
ob gyn and I asked them. This is probably seven

(28:03):
years ago, I asked her. I said, well, you know,
what about these implants. You're supposed to get them replaced.
They said, every ten to fifteen years. What about these implants.
I'm sorry, I keep I having my tears still coming running.
I'm sorry, that's right. So I said, what about these implants?
And she said, if they're not bothering you, don't worry

(28:24):
about it. And I thought, okay, I'm good. You know,
the doctor said, if they're not bothering me, don't worry
about it. So I just kept going. And then about
five years ago, I kept telling my husband, I got
to get these out, and he's like, we'll do it.
We'll get them out, you know, I know you want
to get them out. We'll get them out. And I'm like, yeah,
I know. Is the time went on, I said, I've
really got to get these out. Something's just a miss,

(28:45):
you know. And it wasn't that I was at that point.
It wasn't that I had a lot of health issues.
I just knew in my mind something wasn't right, something
was about to fire off. So twenty twenty three. Fast
forward to twenty twenty three, my nineteen year old graduated
a year early and we had a graduation party. And
the day after her graduation party, everything went down south

(29:12):
and I started I started to have I don't even
know how to explain it. I started to have pain
in the back of my cows and chronic fatigue, and
I thought, I can't even make it to my kitchen, Like,
what is going on? Something is dire wrong. And I
thought at that point I didn't know because my legs

(29:34):
hurt so bad, I was tired. By the time I
got to the kitchen, I had pain from on this
left side of my body, from the back of my
neck down my arm. My arm was in so much pain,
it was tingling and going numb. These are just a
few of the symptoms that started to really really hit me.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
All right, Lacy, you.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Know what that was very beautiful and powerful that you
just that you just gave us. Act you what symptoms
or what was it that was changing your experience during
that time. I know you said that the fatigue. I
got that in the in the legs, you know, all
of that pain. But how was your body trying to
communicate to you more? What was you hearing your body

(30:15):
telling you.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
So instinctively, my body was just saying, get them out.
So what I kept here? Get them out. But aside
from the pain that I was getting in my legs,
all of a sudden, I woke up one night and
I had this shooting pain from the back of my
neck down my left arm. Couldn't lift my left arm.

(30:37):
There was tingling, there was burning sensations. I was getting
weakness in my left arm, and I thought to myself, Oh,
this is bad, this is gonna this is something. Literally
at first, I wasn't thinking, oh this is a symptom
of BII, like this is something that this is contributing
to this that went on for a while. I went
to all kinds of pain management doctors. I had electric shocks.

(31:00):
I would wake up in the middle of the night
and I would have electric shocks behind my eyes, in
the back of my chest, in my thighs, and I
remember telling my husband, Oh, my gosh, run my back,
run my back, like I'm having a heart attack. This
is horrible. And it was electric shocks. I went for
a little while where my blood pressure was shooting up
and coming back down. There was a season where I

(31:23):
couldn't take a little bit of a sip of something
that had refined sugar and my blood pressure would shoot
through the roof, and I just thought, what is this?

Speaker 1 (31:31):
You know.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
I even went back to my counselor and said, I
really want to see my kids grow up. What is
going on, you know? And she's like, don't believe that, lie,
You're going to see your kids grow up. And I
did not attribute anything to BI So a little bit
further down, I started seeing a natural path further down
the road, and I thought because I had gotten an
MRI on my brain, thinking maybe there was something neurological

(31:54):
that was going on, that came back clear. I had
COVID a few times. So I did do a spike
protein detox which how much that helped, but I know
that it got rid of some of that spike protein
through blood tests. And then I started seeing this naturopath
and I said, these are the symptoms I'm having. Let

(32:15):
me tell you one other symptom I was having. I
started having muscle fascillations from the top of my head
to the bottom of my feet and they would fire
off all throughout my body. And I thought to myself,
what is going on with my nervous system. Okay, so
the natural path he gave me some different supplements and

(32:35):
things that would bring down inflammation, and I went as
far as I had two rounds of stem cell therapy,
and I will say the autoimmune response that helped, but
it didn't take it all away. I was still having
chronic fatigue, brain fog, the memory loss. And I am
a manager at my position with the team of nine.

(32:58):
But the memory loss. If someone would say something, I'd say,
I'm sorry, wait hold on, would you just say because
I couldn't recall it. There was a disconnect in all
of that. So I say all that to say this.
When I got these out five weeks ago, aside from
that initial recovery of the two to three weeks where
you're tired, you know, and you want to sleep a lot.
As soon as I as soon as I got up

(33:20):
and I got moving around and things start going, I said, Man,
my chronic fatigue is lifted. My muscle fa fascillations have
slowed down, Like my brain fog is not there. This
is really crazy. And one other thing, I am a
computer coordinator at my church, and so I run computer
with the lyrics and the worship and everything like that.

(33:41):
And I remember my director she used to have to
say scroll up, scroll up, you know, and it wasn't
connecting and click here, click here. And the other day
I was I was running computer at my daughter's kids
camp and they went into something else and my brain
just automatically caught it. And I jumped up and she said,
oh no, no, no, She said, oh.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
That was quick.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
And I was like, eh, it's just gonna get that
much better because I feel so much better after this explant,
Like my connection in my brain has improved, and that memory,
that function has improved. So that's just a few few
things that I have seen since my explant and I
know it's gonna get that much better. It's been such

(34:21):
a blessing, such a blessing.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Just hearing your story.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
I have tears in my eyes because I am y'all,
I am so excited. And why I'm so excited because
everything that you said that you went through, those were
the things that I was going through. It was times
that I was so disabled. I could not get out
of bed for days, yes, save for days, and it
was like, what the hell is happening?

Speaker 1 (34:48):
It's like, goah.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
So when you when you said about the shooting pains
in the back of your head and it went through
your body to your left, I really felt that it
was something wrong with me. I thought I that I
had in mass you know, I was just going through
every scenario possible that it could be and me too, Yeah,
and I remember going and I had to think, even

(35:11):
though he was an idiot my neurologists, I have to
thank him because him giving me the wrong testing for what,
giving me the wrong testing and not truly paying attention
to everything that I said, and also with my my
parent primary doctor had put in the paperwork. He wasn't listening.
He just wanted to give me medication. For my migraines,

(35:33):
and he was just thinking about my migraines. I'm telling
him about shooting pains through my body, the numbness on
my like I'm thinking I'm having a stroke, you know,
like it's so.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
It is so disabling.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
And when I tell them, I can actually understand how
some people, the ones that I paralyzed from the neck
down because your brain is steady moving and going and you.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Can't move sometimes.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
Yes, it I literally I remember telling my because I
have a primary care physician, but they're not they're not
tied to insurance, so they don't do things the normal way.
And I just remember saying, like, is there because they
at first were going to send me to an EMG
or send me for an EMG, which is the neurologist

(36:23):
that does the muscle testing. And I thought to myself,
I mean at that point, God was like, no, that's
not it. But I will say I was telling my
natural path and even my aunt, I like, am I
stroking out? You know there's bad words like there's cancer
and als and there's MS, there's all these things, and

(36:43):
I thought to myself, that's it, Like I'm I'm going
down because at five o'clock. I worked from home, but
at five o'clock I was in the bed, and my
poor husband and my poor kids were so scared because
I couldn't function. I couldn't get up and go to
the kitchen, and I thought, I in so much pain
and I'm so tired. I was even having shortness of breath. Yes,
that's going away, Naomi, that has gone away.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
It is.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
You think you're going crazy. And for those that are
around you, you look normal on the outside, right, but
on the inside you feel like you're dying, and you
feel like you're a prisoner inside of your own body.
And that's how I felt. And I have a picture
where the dark circle I had my eyes underneath heir

(37:29):
looked so sunken in and so dark. I remember taking
a picture in Houston. I had some training before I
went out on PTO for my surgery, and the darkness
under my eyes was like they were sunk in and
so dark. And literally the day of my ex plant,
they lightened up and they have gotten so much better.
I remember my mom going, gosh, you have dark circles

(37:49):
under your eyes. I mean, these bags were sucking the
life out of me. I feel like a new person.
I am so excited for you to have this done
and get through those initial recovery weeks and see how
much healing is going to come to you. I feel
like it's a new chapter prophetically for me. I feel

(38:09):
like it's a new chapter in my life. This is
something that God is doing to propel me forward. I've
always had a calling to women and to young girls
because of the situation of me growing up. So that's
where God's put it, you know, on my heart. But
I feel like it's more not just a physical healing
for me, this is something spiritual because the dark side

(38:32):
that it held me to, why I got them in
the first place, it's gone.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
You know.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
There is no more shame, there is no more guilt,
and I did it for that reason and that reason only.
So this is a new chapter. This is a new me,
and it feels wonderful. I just feel like a new woman.
So I'm praying for Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Thank you, first of all, thank you for the prayer.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Thank you for just sharing it, because it is truly
this is truly have been a testimony, but also it's
been divinely aligned it truly, it truly has. It's something
that I shared with my listeners a lot, as I
always wanted to.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Know.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
My prayer was always how can I be a service
to women? You know, my fan base is most mostly men,
and I've always wanted to know how can I be
a service to women that I'm not intimidating, that they
don't look at you know, my past career and you know,
and they can really I can really resonate with them
where they can look at me as a woman to
woman and nothing else but that. And I just remember

(39:40):
probably a month ago, I came home from vacation and
I was ready to you know, work. I had some
you know, some shows to do and some other things
to do, fashion shows, everything to do, and my body
shut down on me, like literally shut down.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Totally on me.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
And I'm I'm i am, I'm very spiritual and I'm
to stand my connection with God. I'm at my altar
every morning praying and meditating. So I'm so very much
aware of when I am being set down because I've
missed something, I've missed the message, I missed something that
he told me to do. And sometimes I could be disobedient,
so he's like, no.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
You need to do this because you're doing a little
bit too much. I understand you're trying to do stuff
to move things out the way because you're preparing for something.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
But let me realign that for you right now. And
when I say I could not talk, my voice is
what you know.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
This is my possess. You know. I was already having brainfall.
This was really horrible brainfall. But then I couldn't walk.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
My legs were swollen so bad that I couldn't even
walk to the computer.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Now this is how I set my stuff. I got
my office downstairs. I have an office in my bedroom,
and then my husband had an office outside of my bedroom.
And it's like, okay, no, because you will find a
computer to work. Shut me all the way down. When
I had no choice to be still and so I
remember one particular morning I got out of bed. I

(41:08):
crawled my littleself over to my altar and it was
a blessing because my grandbaby is hearing. So my meditation room,
what I call the Golden Rose Room, that is what
my grandbaby is sleeping at now. Because my daughter was like, no,
we ain't sharing rooms now, she.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
God be in her own. So I was like okay.
So I was able to put my altar in my
room and I just went and I crawled over to
my altar and I was.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Like, what am I supposed to?

Speaker 2 (41:32):
So I said and I prayed, and you know, I thought,
and then all of a sudden, it was like, you.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Need to use your explained journey. That needs to be
your July series. And you need to ask Laura if
she can come on the show, and ask if any
other women could come to show. And I was like, no,
No'm women and I want to share.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
And this is like a battle that and I was like,
I got you. I hear everything you said. And I
was a week out of January, I mean July already
I had my whole July.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Serious. God, I had a few guess that, you know,
I was just like, are you kidding? Like no, I'm serious.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
And when I really sit and I think about it,
it's so funny. I don't know if you do this,
it's like you see you see the picture of your
or your life and every choice that you made that
it brought you to this point now that it was
supposed it was meant to be, even though we don't
understand it, but it was meant to happen.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
It was meant to happen. And I laughed all the
time because anybody on the outside of me whatever, they
were like, girl, you're tripping. No'm I understand.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
I understand where My connection with God has always been
in my car, praying on my way to set, praying
on my way to a party.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
That I had the hopes.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
I prayed in my car all the time, you know,
And I had to have that connection with God in
that sense because and I'm sorry, but the Church wouldn't
allow me to be there and be able to praise
God in that sense. You understand what I'm saying, because
how can you do that? And you be on you know,
doing this and that. And I was like, okay, I'm
not about to let them show me from God. I

(43:12):
know where I can speak for God, so you know.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
And that would kelp me.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
And even after I retired from the industry, and I
remember even going through that whole healing and that transmission
creating my prayer closet and in that I had my
forgiveness letter and all of those things. And this was
almost thirteen years ago, and at that time it was
a miracle because that I was pregnant with my last

(43:38):
one of my last baby, and it was told to
me that I couldn't have any children. So my second baby,
I actually had to have help to have her. But
I was told that I was no longer to be
able to have another child. And here I go, here,
I'm pregnant. I'm thinking I'm about to blow really do
some things in the industry. And I was like, okay,
y'all keep on playing.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Right there, I got something for you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Four years though pregnant at the top of my career,
set me down bed rest the hall in time, Lazie,
when I tell you, I could not walk, I could
not do anything.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Like I won't just it. Yes, yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
Absolutely love that. You know you say you were, you know,
praying a lot. I got to a point in my
journey before I you know, absolutely, when I was going
through all of my BII symptoms, I found myself with
my Bible on my kitchen floor, on my knees, and
I was like, God, I'll do anything. Just heal me,
Like take that, like heal me, Show me what I

(44:46):
need to do for healing. Because I believe that there's
you know, God is the ultimate physician. That's my belief.
But there are also things on this earth where we
play a part as well in that healing journey. So
I was like, what do I have to do. I've
been two years now without having a sip of alcohol,
which has been amazing too, and I think that even
that in and of itself has helped through my ex

(45:09):
plant recovery process with the inflammation being down in my body.
But I was at a dire, dire point, like praying, thinking,
you know, I just I have never experienced anything like
this before in my life, and it was as the
later years with these implants being in But God directed
my steps and we are in. Our story is our testimony.

(45:31):
So when you say no shame, no guilt, I absolutely
agree with you because our story and our testimony is
what's going to set somebody else free. And it's not
for us to hold on to, you know, because society
can say what they want, family members can say what
they want. But this is our story, this is our testimony,
and there's other women that need it. So we go

(45:52):
through what we go through for a purpose. It's about
the perspective of getting women to understand the perspective of
it didn't happen to them, it actually happened for them.
It's a purpose. They have a purpose and a calling
you know, on their life, and their story and testimony
are for someone else to be set free as well.
So it's so much bigger than just ourselves. But I

(46:16):
thank you so much for doing this and bringing your
platform to be able to talk with each other, with
women who are going through the same thing that feel
like they're alone. Because while I didn't feel like I
was alone because of the groups right that we're in
and you having this and I did have my husband

(46:38):
that was supportive, I'm sure there's some women that feel
like they are completely alone and they need to hear
these stories and be involved and know they're not so
that they can courageously. It's a brave thing to do.
It's a courageous thing to do. It's not you know,
it's not for the week. It's knowing you're doing this
for a purpose and you're doing it for your health.

(47:00):
It's just one step and the healing process, but it's
it's one of the best steps I've taken. So yeah,
it is.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
And you know what, again, thank you, thank you so
much for just sharing, for having the courageous and let
me say.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
This, being obedient, being omedient. You know what I'm saying,
because we can't. We can't we allow our pride.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Oh yeah, realize got pride to get in a way
and everything. And it's like, no, this is what I
created you for your strength. Let me say this to you.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
You were born with strength. You understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
So everything that is happening in your life now moving
forward is going to be so amazing. You are going
to write a book. You are going to write a book.

Speaker 4 (47:51):
You know, you're the second person that has said that
to me. You just gave me chills. You're the second
person said that to me in the past probably three years,
and the first time I foo fooded off. But you
just gave me confirmation. So thank you for beingdient and

(48:11):
boldly stating that because that means a lot to me.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Yeah, and let me say this, and why say this
is because this is what was told.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
To me the other day. You know how we sit
and I know you thought about writing your story. Just
where will I start at? My story is not good
enough to be writing. How do I There is no
successful ending for I can write it because I went
through that same thing. This is it right now? When
you took out those explants and you became whole again.

(48:41):
This is where it is, where you became whole again.
This is your spiritual connecting. Those two I call them
ten percent. Ten that's twenty percent. You were eighty percent there,
you went through it all. Now you remove that ten
Now you fully hole with the boss, with the spirituality,
with the obe you understand saying what the love.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Now you can write that book.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
This has been.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
So good, so good, So thank you for doing this,
and thank you for having me on here. Because if
I can help just one person, you know, he says,
we did, just do it for the one. Yeah, like
person you you are, you are doing wonderful things. So

(49:32):
thank you for your obedience. Thank you for speaking boldly
into my life. I receive it, and just thank you
for what you do. I am looking forward to hearing
everyone else's story and listening to the podcast that you've
done so far. And I appreciate you very very very much.
I know we just met, but I appreciate all that
you're doing. And I'm praying for a smooth recovery. To

(49:57):
guide You're going to doctor Sude, yes, okay, to guide
doctor Suit's hands I hear he is wonderful and that
your recovery is quicker than you think. That is just
like wow, and you're back up and on your feet
and running.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Thank you, thank you. But you know what, I want
to give you an invite too.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
And this is this is the first time I'm gonna
say this to my listeners. I now have a name
for my new podcast. I have a name for my
new podcast. It won't drop until January, so I will
start recording the end of October of it. And I
would love for you to come on because I would
love to hear where your story's at. Then, you know,
and just you know, I would love to have you
on there. The name of the podcast is Body, Choice

(50:43):
and Voice. It's healing from the inside out.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
That's yes, yes, And so it's not only going to
be a podcast, it's a movement.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
I love you. Yes, I would to be a part
of it if you would have me.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
And I'm excited. I'm truly excited. I'm excited for the
new connections that I've made. I've made another group of sisters,
a sisterhood with yourself. I'm just gonna claim it. Yes,
I met another.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Beautiful young lady Mischelle Jean.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
She is just so loud and proud and I love
her spirit. You know, it's just so many different of
the women Aloma. You know, Laura, Laura is our patient advacant.
I've known of Laura for quite some time, for years.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
I saw her on the Oprah Renfree Show.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
I remember we're both from Chicago, so I seen it all,
but just to have it for a circle, come back
around and this is the woman who I'm what I
tell you Lace.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
This ain't nothing for gone, nothing but God really.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
And it was like wow, like oh, and I'm like, okay,
I got you all right.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Let me let me move backway, hey, let me sit
over here and just walk. And that is.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
That is all that I am doing now, and just
being able to just really see your beautiful faces and
how they're glowing, how you know it's shining, just to
hear the stories, and a lot of the stories mirror mind,
you know, we mirror the same of some of the things.
But some women have had some very horrible times, and
I think I've been very blessed that I haven't been

(52:25):
that I might be crying about the being disabling and stuff,
but some women have been on their death hands, you
know what I'm saying, And it's like, this is where
we need to come together and really.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
Be loud, absolutely, really be loud.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
And really be there for one another as much as
we can. You know, the good thing is that we
do have husbands that are very supportive of us.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
But then we have other sisters.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
That don't have that, you know that some are by themselves,
and wanted to show Missalonma she shared that she wasn't
with anybody, and actually she said that she had to
do a go fund me and she had to add.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
To her friends to help her fund this. You know.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
So it's more than just us just talking on a podcast. Now,
I want to do where it's a foundation that we
truly are helping women that don't have that, that don't
have the funding of the money to be able to
do this because insurance is not paying for this.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
This is coming out of pocket.

Speaker 4 (53:18):
Yes, absolutely, yeah it's not. And I've heard of women
that are completely by themselves, single moms, you know, trying
to have done with toddlers, and I honestly my heart
does go out to them. I do think that it
is more than just you know, the podcast truly assisting
those who can't do this or don't know how they're

(53:40):
going to do this, because I can't imagine being a
single mom with two or three children. That there's no
way I could do it and be successful because you can't,
you know, during recovery you need specific help and so
and even the finances, the finances is hard. You know,
there's never really a right time and it's never really
that you want to spend it. But if we can

(54:01):
find a way to help these women who are struggling
and need to get this done, I think that's going
to be something that is amazing. So yeah, yeah, thank
you for having this. Thank you for just even inviting
me to this. It's been so good for my heart.

(54:23):
I just I'm honored.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Thank you, Oh thank you.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
This was definitely worth the way this really was. It
was just, you know how you just feel like everything
was happening. I said, no, I need to get Lacey
in here, like I really need to get her in here,
and I'm so glad. He was like, no, I want
to do it now. I'm not waiting to act to her.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
I felt so bad that first go around because we
had all that flooding in Texas and I'm like, here,
I am in the car.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
You know I want to do this.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
But it was I'm glad that you invited me back,
and yeah, we're patient with me. Thank you for being
gracious with me and a allowing me to share my
story on your platform. So I say, yeah, here's to
a strong sisterhood and more to come.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
So beautiful, beautiful, all right, my beautiful people.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Again, I want to just thank you and everyone else
who has joined me on this month's series. I'm saying
I'm two weeks out. I am two weeks out, and
I'm truly excited for this journey.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
I know I said that I'm at a hunted. I
don't know if everybody go they gonna like me at
a hunted, but I don't give it. But you know,
I remember that girl at a hundred. But I believe
it's going is.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
I know that it's going to be such an amazing journey,
such an amazing connection with all of us women that
are a part of this journey. I think it's just
moving the needle, pushing it really forward here, really forward here,
and just speaking my voices. If you can tell any
woman right now who are on the fence with X

(56:01):
plant or even thinking about getting implants.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
What would that be.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
I would say, love yourself, love the season that you're in,
love what God has given you. If you're on the
fence about getting an explant, I would say, go for it.
You are courageous, you are beautiful, you were brave, and you.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
Can do this.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
It's not, you know, the end all be all, but
the healing that comes from it is something like I
have not experienced in twenty three years since I had
them put in. If you're considering getting implants, I would say,
read the black box label, get all of the warnings,
give yourself all of the knowledge that you need to

(56:45):
make an informed decision because getting those implants in is
something your body is going to fight for years to
come once you do get them in. But if you're
on the fence about an explant, I say jump, go
for it because it is the best thing I have
done for my health on my health journey in the
past four to five years. And I'm here for you.

(57:08):
So if you want to do it, I am here
for you. Reach out to me. I'm on the Facebook
support pages for a lot of the BI groups, and
do it. I don't you won't regret.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
It you want, Beautiful, Beautiful, I have one more last
question for you. This episode is all about reclaiming your truth,
is reclaiming my truth?

Speaker 1 (57:34):
What is your truth today?

Speaker 4 (57:38):
So I struggle with my truth and I just say
that because of my faith. So I'll revert back to
my faith because that's something that I feel like I
have to be obedient with. What is God's truth is?
Does what you're believing? Does what you're thinking align with
what God says, with what his word says. If it doesn't,

(58:00):
it's not truth. He made us beautifully, he made us
perfect and the way that He wanted to make us.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
And so.

Speaker 4 (58:12):
My truth is God's truth. And if it doesn't align
with what his word says, then it's not good. And
if it's not good, He's not finished yet. So your
story's not finished yet. Keep pushing and just keep looking up.
He'll guide your steps.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
Beautiful, Beautiful, Thank you for that, Lacey and my beautiful solves.
I hope that lazy story that is reminding you of
the incredible power, wisdom, and resilience that lives within you.
You know, her journey shows us that sometimes the most
challenging experience become our greatest teachers, and just choosing ourselves,
our health, our truth, and our authentic expression is always

(58:53):
an act of love. So whether you're considering expert surgery,
or facing a major health decision, or just simply learning
to trust your body wisdom. More deeply, I want you
to remember that you have the access to profound inner
guidance that will.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Never steer you wrong. Your body is constantly communicating with you. Your
intuition is always available to guide you toward our highest good,
and your courage, the beautiful, fierce courage that Lacey has
demonstrated so powerful, it's always within a reach when you
need it the most. Again, thank you all, my amazing people.

(59:29):
Will just allowing me to just share this journey with
you and you just being in here with the comments
and everything like that, that is so amazing.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
So I guess we got.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
One more show that has already been recorded on Wednesday,
and I will see y'all in October.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
