Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, guys, Welcome back to the show. I'm super excited
about this episode, you guys, because if you tuned in
last week, I shared why I've been away for a
year and what that journey has meant for me. Well, today,
Mark's a special moment not only in my back, but
I'm also sitting down with my very first guest on
(00:23):
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
We're diving into.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
A topic that's become a cornerstone for my own healing
self love. My guest today is someone whose perspective is
both soulful and grounded, and when I asked her how
she sees life, this is what she shared with me.
I see life as a multi dimensional puzzle, and each
(00:47):
of us is working on our own personal puzzle, made
up of experiences, challenges, insights, and gifts. Some pieces feel joyful,
others painful, but every piece matters, and the beautiful truth
is our individual puzzle fits into a greater human puzzle,
(01:09):
which fits into an even larger planetary and cosmic design.
When we begin placing the pieces of our own life,
understanding our purpose, healing our wounds, reclaiming our truth, we're
not just aligning with ourselves, We're contributing to a wholeness
(01:29):
of something much bigger. Her message simply put, you are
perfect for your purpose for being here now, and when
we begin to live from that truth, everything begins to
make sense. You guys, Before we dive in with our
episode today, I do want to take a moment to
extend an open invitation for you to come back again
(01:52):
and again. And I also want to invite you to
subscribe to the podcast. That way you won't miss an
episode once I uploaw to show. With that being said,
you guys, I'm excited to introduce today's guests. She is
a holistic inner piece alchemist, a speaker, author, and the
founder of heart Joy Transformation. Please welcome Kimberly Humphreys too
(02:18):
Authentic Talks.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Authentic Talks is all about authentic conversations. This show is
all about growth, love, respect, success, mind, body and spirit.
If you're looking to grow and become your authentic self,
then this is the podcast for you and I am
your host.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Chante. Welcome to the show. I'm really excited because I
attended an event that Kimberly created or brought together and
it was a very beautiful event. Her book is titled
The Ultimate Self Love Guide in journal, a journey to
embrace your true self. I just really and I'm so
(03:00):
honored to have you here with me today, Kimberly. Before
we dive in with our episode today, can I have
you to introduce yourself to our listeners.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
To Chanta, and I just want to say I am
honored to be your first guest after the break. Such
an honor to be here and to work with you
because you helped me to bring that dream of mind
to life, which is my passion. And we created a
(03:30):
nonprofit to be able to bring the education, the knowledge
of holistic health, what holistic actually means, and how people
can have an alternative option to what they're relegated to
as far as their health goes and their lifestyle. It's
(03:51):
so much as you said, my passion is self love,
because that's where it starts. Holistic is about the whole person,
and we cannot do anything until we know who we are.
I love it, know who we are, accept who we are,
and just really appreciate ourselves because all that we give
(04:15):
to ourselves.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I love that message. I love the message that you
share and I know that you have a signature message
where you say you are perfect for your purpose. For
being here now. And I absolutely love it because that's
actually a really powerful statement in itself. Can we talk
about that a little bit more?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Absolutely? It is so true something that has to be unpacked.
We're not going to unpack it here now because that's
a whole that's a whole book. But the truth is
everything that's created has a function, right, yes, And everything
that the creation is made for its purpose, for the
(05:03):
function of it. And we're no different. We have a creator,
and the creator created us for a purpose. And guess what,
My purpose is not the same as yours. No one's
purpose is exactly the same. And so we cannot compare
ourselves elves to anyone else.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Sometimes people actually do that, where they compare themselves to
someone else. I was having a conversation today with someone
and they were talking about It was a conversation about
needing to get a house because they needed to have that,
they needed a mortgage payment in order to feel like
they've fulfilled what they think society believes is successful. And
(05:46):
so when you talk about care, yes, yes, And so
we had got into a pretty deep conversation about that.
So I love what you're sharing. So someone else may
have had a dream about that, and that could have
been their purpose to get a home so that they
could raise the foster kids. But that doesn't have to
be your dream to adopt ten babies and you know,
(06:06):
have a six bedroom home so that you can raise
foster kids. So I was basically explaining.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
That everyone that's a death a special calling right there.
You have to get that call, you know, in order
to fulfill it. And that's the thing. We each have
our own unique calling and only our heart. That's where
those answers are.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And what I love in my practice is I help
people go there to get their answers. I don't have
their answers, They have their answers. I just help them
get to the place in themselves where they can hear
them receive them.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I know that you definitely talk a lot about self
love and your book, as everyone can see, it has
a title in there and you are the Heart of
Joy coach. The concept of self self love can mean
different things to different people. Can we talk about your
personal journey and how you got to this place where
(07:09):
you became the where you recognize or identified but self
love was You're a part of your purpose, And like,
how do we really yes.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah. I had an interesting childhood and
growing up I was always different. I certainly had no
love for myself or acceptance of myself because I wasn't
accepted at all, Like I wasn't accepted by my parents
(07:43):
or my grandparents, or like I just wasn't accepted. So
then I entered into marriages where I wasn't accepted for
who I was. I could never be good enough. And
it wasn't until after the second one that I realized, okay,
two marriages failed. I'm the common denominator here. It's me.
(08:07):
I don't have a healthy love for myself. And where
that came from has to be spirit because it just
came to me, I don't have a healthy love for myself,
and I'm attracting these men into my life who do
not have a healthy love for themselves or me. And
so I said at that point, I am willing to
be single if you get me out of this one.
(08:29):
I'm willing to be single for the rest of health.
And I said, but if I am healthy enough to
have a healthy marriage, I'm open to that. But I'm
willing to be single for the rest of my life
if that's what it takes, and then I began to
work on myself and through many different encounters experiences, I
(08:54):
learned and grew in that unconditional self acceptance. And actually
it was definitely a gradual process. It was any evolution
over time, and yes, that was that part of it.
Before that, when I was actually yet in the marriage,
(09:16):
the first one I asked myself. I was in my
mid twenties maybe thirties, and I asked myself, what is
that you would be willing to die for? You know,
you need to a backupone. What is your non negotiable?
And I came up with love. Love was the non negotiable. Now,
(09:39):
at that time, obviously I didn't completely understand what love was.
I just knew that I knew about the love of God,
a God a love, and that was the love I
was speaking about, not by love, which is unconditional acceptance,
even though I didn't even interpret it like that at
(10:00):
the time. Like I said in my thirties, I had
always wanted to be whatever God wanted me to be.
I said, Okay, whatever however you want to use me,
you created me, I'm open to that, and that's all
I want. I want to do what I'm here to do.
And so, like I said, I evolved into understanding what
(10:23):
that looks like, what it is. You know, I have
that metaphor about the puzzle. I love putting together puzzles,
and so through my life I am putting together thro
this puzzle, and I knew that it was not only
for myself, but that I would reach a point where
I would be able to share it to help them with.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Their When you say that you felt that you were
unaccepted by your parents and grandparents, can you clarify what?
What does that? What do you mean by that?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Absolutely? So, on my dad's side, there was a lot
of Caucasian, well it's not even Caucasian. They were actually Portuguese,
but they didn't know it. But their light skinned lot
us straight here, a lot of Native American maybe Indian,
well it was Portuguese. That there was a Native American too,
(11:16):
and Caucasian. Yes, I don't know, but you had that.
And then on the other side you had more African American. Well,
I wasn't black enough, I wasn't white enough, and I
was holistic minded, and nobody knew what that was. I
didn't even know what it was. I just knew it
made sense to me.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
As a child.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yes, Oh wow, I wanted to know. I don't First
of all, if I have a headache, I don't want
an asport. I want to know what's causing the headache.
So if you take me to the doctor, I want
them to tell me what's causing my headache. Well, they
didn't know, they didn't care. They were just trying to
give me some medicine. I didn't want any medicine. I
didn't want any medicine From as long as I can remember,
(12:00):
I'd never wanted medicine. I wanted to know what's causing
the problem. I remember thinking, give the medicine is just
like putting a band aid on a gushing move and
it's not healing, and it's not gonna help it to heal.
It's just gonna cover up, you know, or mask it. Yeah,
And so that was my thinking. And this one time
(12:22):
me seem like I'm balancing around. But all of these
are puzzle pieces that came together for my puzzle. When
I was, you know, ten years old, I'm gonna say
I was getting on my mother's ner rebiligent. We were
getting ready to go somewhere, and she just said go
out and sit in the car and tell everybody's till
I come, and everybody's ready. So I went and sat
(12:44):
in the car, and I buy myself sitting in the
back seat. And I was frustrated too. I said, what
is life all about? It just can't be. You're born,
you try to be happy, you have children and they
do the same, and then you die. Doesn't make any sense. This,
what's the purpose. I'm looking around the neighborhood and I'm
(13:07):
seeing all this order in the world, you know, And
I said, if we can create this, surely some higher
intelligence how to create us and have a purpose for us,
a purpose for creating us. And if they're that intelligent,
and I know they are, obviously they would know how
(13:29):
to communicate that to us. So now I'm not angry
or upset. I'm curious. So when my mom and my
grandmother they get in the car and my sister's I
don't know my words, but I remember asking the questions.
And I asked those questions about our purpose my mom.
It was at the risk of her backhanding me, slap,
(13:51):
you know, say shut up, but she didn't. But I
took that risk. She actually paused and thought about it,
and she said, yes, there is a god. His name
is Jesus, and he gave us the Bible. And the
gist of the Bible is to treat others the way
you want to be treated. And I my heart kind
(14:13):
of sank because that didn't answer my question. Really, I thought, well,
i'll get my hands on that Bible and i'll get
the answer. And I did get the hands on the Bible,
and I opened it up and I started to read it,
but it was an old English and I couldn't understand it.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
That's like the bowl exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, I couldn't get past the old English. And I
didn't think to you know, we didn't go to the
library or and obviously we didn't have the internet in
nineteen sixty or seventy what it was. Yeah, I was
born in sixty, so it was it around seventy nineteen
seventy something. Anyway, I just thought, okay, well I guess
(15:00):
I won't know. I just kind of probably game up.
But that curiosity never went away. It was their present
open for these answers to these questions. That was ten,
when I was eighteen, in my own apartment, people came
to my door and offered me a Bible study, and
I accepted, and I started studying the Bible. And I
(15:24):
studied that Bible for thirty years with different denominations, and
I got some answers. I didn't give them all. I
kept studying out. You know, I just had this journey.
And I actually tell the story of that journey in
my first book, What's Love Got to do with Anything?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
What's Love Got to do with Anything?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That's it?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I love that the title of it. And is that
book available where people could purchase that book as well?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Amazon? Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Okay, my Journey to Love? Yeah yeah, oh, I love it.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
So me as an author, you'll see all the books
that I am part of.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Nice. So, once you discovered what self love was like,
did you find that it was easy to show love
to your children or was that something that came about
in later years.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
It's interesting that being able to show love to my
children was in itself an evolution, because growing up I
definitely wanted to give my children more than I had.
Oh yeah, But I didn't have the tools or the
(16:41):
model to really know what that was. I did the
best I could with what I had. I was there
for them. I guess they came home and they brought
home a grade that was lower than what I believed
they could do. I would go meet with the teacher
and find find out what's going on why, you know what?
(17:03):
And usually it was the teacher. And but after I
had that meeting, they brought home straight a's I mean
you know with me. Yeah, class was so I felt
like I supported them there when it came to like,
for example, this is also let's going to be public
(17:24):
with anyway. My son he would say, when he was
about ten or eleven, Mom, would you come give me
a BackRub. I would give anything to be able to
have that opportunity again, sleep just trying to stay up later,
you know. Yeah, there were things little things like that
being there for his games. I was all about being
(17:46):
in church. We needed to be in church. And it
was just me. I mean I had a husband, but
he wasn't in church with me. They were about the baseball,
you know, and I was about, well, we need to
be in church. That was that was me though. I
just wanted to I want I wanted some structure for
(18:07):
a healthy family. That was my intention. Mm hmm. And
I believe this. I have no regrets only because I learned.
I learned that everything happens exactly the way it's supposed
to for the highest good of everyone involved.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I believe that too. And you can't go back and
change the past.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Not only can you all back back and change it,
you don't need to. Just like I said, we are
perfect for our purpose for being here. So our are
our experiences. Each of them has a gift for us,
(18:52):
especially if they cause us trouble or pain. And the
wonderful thing is that the deeper and more difficult the
heart of the pain, the greater the gift. In such
a way that once we realize that, once we have
(19:13):
that gift that that painful thing came to bring us,
we would do it over again in a heartbeat. We
wouldn't change anything. So if we are still feeling like
we want to change it, just know there is something
very valuable and powerful that that came to give us.
(19:34):
That'sent like a gold nugget, like mining for gold. In
those painful experiences.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Like you said, it's like your puzzle pieces. Yes, your
puzzle pieces.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Absolute Yes, the puzzle pieces.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yes, I believe that that is absolutely true for people
who are struggling right now with self love, and they
don't understand, like what that looks like, what it feels like?
Do you think that is? And what can they do?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
What it is is we're evolving as humanity, as people,
and I don't like to see people blame somebody or
something of this conditioning. The conditioning is just part of
(20:23):
our spiritual immaturity, and so we are here to grow
spiritually into the fullness of love. We may not get
to the fullness of love in this lifetime. We might
it depends. Everybody's different, everybody's on a different path, but
all to the same love, but at different levels, different stages.
(20:46):
And this is why we need to take judgment out
of our life. It has no It just not serving
us anymore. It may have served us one hundred years ago,
but it's not serving us now in this time of
humanity and our existence and evolution, in this time of
our evolution. So just know that wherever you are in
(21:08):
your level or ability to love and accept yourself, you're
right where you're supposed to be to do the growing
that you need to do. Now. The universe has brought
up a whole crop of coaches, and so there is
one for you we're both coaches. There's people for each
(21:30):
of us, for all of them. For every coach, there
is a person who needs that person to be their coach.
When you hear your coach speak, you will know that's
the coach for you because it will resonate in your heart.
You'll go, I need to see that person. I need
to work with her or him. Because there's male and
(21:51):
female coaches, all kinds, they're all ages, they're all flavors,
and there is one for everybody, and so you do
need a coach, you just do. That's why we're here.
That's why the universe brought us up, because people need
coaches to be able to be that. I want to
(22:13):
say mirror, but it is. It is. It's a mirror
because we reflect everything that we see, everything that we
interpret around us, that we see in the world is
our reflection. And this is how we learn how to
love of ourselves by recognizing that what we see is
(22:36):
our reflection. If we like it, it's something that we
can appreciate about ourselves. If we don't like it, it's
an opportunity to make peace with a part of ourselves
that we have not accepted. And that's a process it's
not going to happen overnight. The first thing, though, the
first step is to recognize, to realize that you truly
(23:01):
are perfect for your purpose for being here now. And
with that mindset, with that understanding, with that context, that
new context for your life, you can begin to interpret things,
your actions, your words, your behaviors in a more loving way,
(23:25):
a more self accepting way, a more forgiving way. Learning
to unconditionally accept ourselves is a process, and it happens
one moment at a time, one action at a time.
The reason we need to coach is because most of
our way of operating is unconscious. We're not aware of it.
(23:50):
So we need someone to be accountable to help us
become aware of the things that we do, think and say.
The way we are are not serving us that we're
not aware of. So that's why it's important to have
a partner in the process. I wrote the book The
(24:11):
Ultimate Guy, Self Love Guide and Journal to help people
who are not ready to go to get a coach
to The book is kind of that, you know, and
then I also created a community for people to communicate
to kind of share their journey or their truck struggles
and get support from each other puer support as well
(24:34):
as mine.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I love that. I love what you're doing because I
think that like self love is one of the it's
it's a hard one for people to sometimes embrace when
they don't have a coach or have the tools. I
find that people have a difficult time when you're speaking
with them and doing some of the exercises like you have.
(24:57):
This is a journal, you guys, and there's like questions
in here and it takes you on a little journey.
Sometimes they have a hard time with things like writing
a self love letter to themselves or looking at themselves
in the mirror and saying I love you. And you
said something Kimberly that I thought was really key when
you said you don't believe in you know, like others
(25:19):
just kind of like putting the blame in other places
and not taking the accountability for themselves to basically heal
and to get to the next level. That happens frequently.
I remember being there myself. Where you've heard those stories
where they say there's two people that grew up in
(25:42):
a household and the one guy says, hey, I am
an alcoholic because my dad was an alcoholic, and the
other ones like I'm not because my dad was an alcoholic.
It's kind of like that where at some point you
do take responsibility for doing better, you know, and just
kind of taking the steps to learn. I know that
you're you have a holistic health event. I attended the
(26:04):
very first one. It was called Ignite your Holistic Health.
That was the name of the very first one. It
was really nice. I enjoyed it. I met some amazing people.
And this is something that you're talking about or sharing
that you want to take on the road pretty much
from city to city. Can you make the connection with
self love and holistic health? And how did you get there?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Yeah? And I just want to say you were an
integral part of the wonderful energy of that event, and
I just want to acknowledge you and praise you for that.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yes, thank you, that was all you. It was you
I loved. I mean, you came up, you have vision.
It was just nice to see your vision come to
to light, you know. And I think it's definitely something
that's going to become one of those things where where
(27:00):
it's like the help fust you know. The holistic Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, So holistic simply means the whole person and the
whole person starts with the person. There's a whole universe
inside of us that we that we can explore, that
(27:27):
we want to explore, that we want to get to
know except appreciate an honor because as we do that,
the deeper we appreciate and go into ourselves. That's the
depth that we can actually appreciate what's outside of us. Because,
as I said before and now and it's worth saying again,
(27:51):
what we experience outside of us is merely a reflection
of what's inside of us. And when we understand that,
we operate in that, that's holistic living.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I love that. That's a hard one to swallow sometimes
when we have these different Yeah, it's pretty tough when
you have like different encounters. And you mentioned your mother,
and we love our parents, you know, I love my mom.
There's times where I see things in her that, you know,
it could drive you nuts a little bit, or it's
(28:28):
it just feels tough to have to accept. And one
day I was sharing it with a friend and I said,
you know, sometimes my mom is extremely negative and it's
just and then she was like, she said something like, well,
that's a reflection of you also. Basically what you see
in her. You see it because it's in you. Yeah,
(28:48):
I was like ooh, I was like, Oh, that's tough.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
That is I want to clarify that. Yes, there's two
ways to see it. Though we can see it and
the reason existive that's when we're not acknowledging it in
ourselves and we're not accepting it in ourselves. Is there
because at some point it served us And even if
we inherited it from our mother or whomever. When we
(29:17):
see it and we have that reaction, that's an opportunity
to make peace with it in ourselves. Then when we
see it and it was not going to change them
per se necessarily it could, but when we see it
in them, after we have accepted and resolved and reconciled
it in ourselves, we will see in them with compassion.
(29:40):
It will not be an irritant or it will be
something that we see in our heart just kind of
goes out to them because we were.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
There right on. And then I also love the fact
that you didn't give up on love. Normally you hear
people say, oh, said I gave up on all of that.
I went through a divorce and that was just it,
and I just decided to dive into you know, my
work or my love for something else. IM poorted in
(30:13):
there and just left the humans alone.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
So many people are there, So many people are there.
You know, this journey, my journey has been so rich.
I feel so blessed and honored to have had the experiences,
gain the knowledge and depth of understanding that I'm so
(30:38):
happy to be able to have these kinds of conversations
so that I can share that wisdom that I've learned
with others who are suffering. And you do not have
to You do not have to suffer. You do not
have to shut down your heart because of past relations
(31:03):
failed relationships, because those past failed relationships have a richness.
You know, if it weren't for that second one, I
would not have realized that I needed to love myself.
That was a rich gift. I have to say. I
(31:26):
was devastated when that second marriage didn't work. I was like, God,
how could you you know how sacred I feel about marriage?
How could you let me get into this marriage with
this man? But blah blah blah blah blah. You know
I was I do. It wasn't easy. Yeah, there was
a lot of rich and you know, painful times. But
(31:49):
then because of my relationship with my creator, I came
through it, because of my faith, because I I know,
after I you know, have my temper tantrum, I was
able to receive that message. Yes that you know, first time,
(32:14):
second time. These you know, the men that you know,
they were, they there's nothing wrong with them. Whatever is
going on with us, whatever is is a part of
our purpose for being here. It's our puzzle pieces, it's
the things that we have to work with. And the key,
the message that I really want people to understand is
(32:35):
we need the proper context to evaluate, to interpret our
life experiences, to put this puzzle together. Where if we
don't have the proper frame for it, you know, the
context of it, we're not going to be able to
put together a puzzle that makes any sense at all,
(32:56):
it fits together at all. We only within that framework
of our purpose for being here is we're perfect for
that purpose, and the purpose is for us to grow
into evolve into greater love, and that happens through our
(33:20):
own unconditional self acceptance in our evolution in that process,
one thing at a time, one incident at a time,
one thought, feeling, you know, whenever we put ourselves pay
attention to our self talk. When we hear ourselves put
(33:42):
ourselves down and call usselves stupid or you idiot, or
you look. You know, we do this and these are
the things that when we become aware of what we're
saying to ourselves and change that model, change that dialogue
with ourselves, we begin to change. We begin to grow.
(34:05):
And when I'm working with people, we get into the stuff,
painful stuff. And what I love about it is we
get to trans transform the pain into self love. That's
what we do, and it is I love it. I
(34:28):
love it. I love it because for years I pray,
just use me, use me for your good.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, that's good, said, is such a joy. Do you
think that there's a misconception about what self love is?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Absolutely? Absolutely people think self love is bubble baths.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
And go get your nails done.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Exactly, getting my nails done, getting my hair done, getting
my buying clothes, buying things for myself. No no, no, no
no no. I mean those things are nice, but that's
not self love, or maybe a self care. But self
love is unconditional self acceptance. That's what self love is,
(35:13):
and that happens as we react and respond to the
world around us and begin to accept it as a
reflection of us appreciating what we like and love reconciling
what we don't.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Self love. I love self love.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
You know, our spiritual growth.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Why it just feels like that's something that we just
didn't well for me. I feel like that was not
really a thing growing up. It's like I feel like
you nowadays, you have to teach kids. I feel like
we have to like teach them things that we didn't learn.
And I don't know that that is an automatic thing
where you're just like five years old and you're like,
(36:05):
I love myself. And it probably does have a lot
to do with the way we are treated by, you know,
at home as little ones. And it's like at first,
you know, you're cute and cuddly, and I think they
care and I think they do love. But it's just
everybody has a love language.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Everybody has a love language. And I was listening to
you about you know, we didn't grow up this way,
and yet we have to raise our children or teach
our children. And I think that why I am unique
(36:48):
in being this self love advocate. My parents didn't even
know what love was. I'm not just my parents. Their parents.
Nobody ever said I love you when I was a child.
Nobody ever said that. That just was not something anybody said.
(37:11):
And I like, I said, so my parents. My mother
was sixteen, she had just turned sixteen five days before
I was born. My dad turned eighteen after I was
born ten days or something like that, pul days. So
they were kids, and they were not just kids. They
were like rebellious kids. They were just wilding out on
(37:34):
the street doing whatever it anyway, you know best. That's
how they were. I love them. I chose them, and
this is this is something I want to just share
real quick, real quick. We chose our Everything about our
lives are soul.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Did Yeah I do believe that.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Yeah, yeah, because this is our movie. We chose every
character in the movie to play out our role.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
So that we could evolve.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Yes, yes, absolutely, that is the purpose of our life
to evolve, and it's a spiritual evolution. And so we're
not going I'm going to going to understand it from
a human perspective. It's just not going to make any sense.
So it makes sense from the context that we are
(38:30):
spirit beings come here to have a human experience to evolve,
our soul that's probably a whole lot to unpat and
we're not going to do that today. But just know
if that makes sense, that's why we're in the human realm.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
That's do you find that you had some commonalities when
you think about it now and you if you just
look back on your life and you go, oh, I
chose my mother to be my mother for this reason
I was able to. I didn't. Yeah, I had that.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
My mother is a free spirit, and so I know
I got that from her, and my dad is a
pragmatic and I kind of grew up by myself because
they weren't there. My mom was doing her thing, my
(39:20):
dad was doing his thing. My grandmother was doing her thing.
She was she was the custom she was pretty much.
I was left in her custody most of the time.
But she was busy. She was going. She belonged to
all these clubs, Masonic Messianic clubs and church and whatever.
She was always doing something. So I was at home.
(39:40):
I was the oldest, and probably from eight years old,
I was taking care of my younger siblings that were
almost two years younger, five years younger, eight years younger. Yeah,
my sister that's eight years younger. Than me. I that
was my baby. I changed her diapers, all the bottles,
(40:00):
made the bottles, made the formula, I did everything.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
So you were already like you were already like, you know,
putting out love at a young age without without realizing it.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Well, I don't know if it was it was, Yeah,
I guess I was.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah, it was a form of love that you didn't
let them die, you fatter change your diapers because you know,
that's a form of love, and it might not be
all the way up to like you're what you think
that it should be, you know, or should have been,
but it was love, you know. Yeah, it was a
(40:39):
form of love.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
So tell us about like the holistic event, how does
self love tie into the holistic event, the holistic approach
or I don't know if I'm asking the right question,
but I get it.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
I understand where the holistic expo comes from and from
and self love and how they go together, Yes, where
they meet. So self love is a part of holistic Okay,
it's a part.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
And you did say that earlier.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
Yeah, you know, because people need to know. I just
want people to know they really aren't that they aren't
connected in that there's ourselves. When we accept ourselves, when
we want the best for ourselves, we're gonna want what's holistic.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Mm hm. That definitely makes sense.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yeah, And so I want people to know that they
don't have to be subjugated to well, that's all we
can do for you, there's nothing more that can be done. Well,
that's not true. Just because they don't have a medicine
or a surgery for whatever's going on with you, or
they can't even find what's going on with you, doesn't
(41:58):
mean you're your destitute, you know, doesn't mean that that's
all there is. There's a whole new universe. There's a
whole new world of possibilities for you. And I want
to bring this to the community. And it's not just me.
There's the three of us, right, and there's more of
that are going to come to be a part of it.
(42:19):
Diversity was started by three people who had a passion
for people to not have to suffer. My husband is
an holistic practitioner and he's amazing. The thing I really
love about diversity is that each of us, the three
of us, from a child in our special area, in
(42:41):
our lane. We have been growing in this from a
child my husband used to read medical encyclopedias. His mother
was a nurse, and so they were in the home
and his sister was always sick with something and he
would just like to go in the encyclopedia, decide to
see what's wrong with her. And he would tell them,
this is what's going on with her. And they'd say, oh,
(43:03):
you don't know what you're talking about, and they take
her fu enough. What he said was what the diagnosis was.
And then Shelley our chef, she grew up with. Both
of her grandmothers were chefs and she was always helping
them and she loved helping them. That was her thing.
She had sisters and brothers, but she was the one
(43:24):
that always wanted to help do the cooking. And she's
just a chef and a chef in her own right,
and she's a soul food chef. And her soul food
evolved into seasonal, organic, unprocessed and local. Hmm, that's the soul.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Seasonal, organic, unprocessed and local. Oh I love it. Yeah, Oh,
that's awesome food.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
She has a food truck she makes healthy there. She
also got a master's in digestion through an Arabatic teacher,
so she understands it iravatically, which is bio energetically, so
she understands how what's going on with you, what foods
you really need for what's going on.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
With you to help your body.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
Yes, it's at a cellular level. So each of us
practices our craft holistically at the cellular level, each of us.
And that's what idversity is about. Ire means life to
the full. Diversity is learning. It's just learning, learning in
(44:37):
a way that changes you. University, life and longevity is
what we.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Yeah, so you are on a mission to educate.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
Yes, educate, bring awareness, expand the awareness of what's available
to you.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
I think there definitely is a huged, huge misconception. Some
people think that holistic is only about being a vegan.
They say, just take the meat out and there you go.
You know. Some people think that it's you know, like
going on a liquid diet. I've heard a lot of
people thinking that, hey, look I'm drinking. What is it?
(45:20):
It's juicing now is what they say, And that that's
a holistic approach. And I love how you define it
because I agree with you one thousand percent that it
is all of you, all parts, including your energy, your
your inner, your outer like how you just the whole everything,
and it takes time to get there.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
We have seven layers of being in this space. Our
physical body, our ethereal body, our mental body, our emotional body,
our energetic body, and our spirit body and our there's
(46:03):
more mental our mental body, and they're not in the
I didn't put them in the right order. But we
have all those though. All those are parts of layers
of who we are and what we are, and when
we are healing, we have to address all of them.
(46:25):
We're not going to be fully, you know, we have
to address all of them. I love it everything.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Yes, going back to your Holistic Health event, tell me
the name of it. It's because I was calling it
a night Year Holistic Health because that was the very
first event. And there's an event coming up on June
the seventh here in Chandler, Arizona, and it's called thank You.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
So the theme name is intraduct to Holistic Health. Ignite
your health holistically, Ignite your health holistically and if you
come for no other reason, come to learn what holistic is.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
What can I expect when they get there? Are there
going to be like guess.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
I'm so excited about our our our speakers and our vendors.
So we have a wonderful doctor. She's amazing. She's a
chiropractor and a neurologist. So she helps to connect the
mind and the body ahead and yeah, the brain and
the and the and the body and align them, which
(47:40):
covers a plethora of challenges that people are faced with.
And she'll talk about that, so you've got to hear her.
And then we have the Aiming Clinic. I don't know
if you ever heard of Daniel Amen. I started following
him in the nineties. He does these scans on the
brain to be able to let you know what you're doing.
(48:00):
And he's a specialist when it comes to ADHD, and
ADHD is so prevalent in the world, and so he
helps with that. He has protocols, he has a book,
he has a whole program, and he has clinics now
all over the world. He's originally from California. Well, his
primary clinic is in California. One of his doctors is
(48:21):
going to be speaking as well. And then we have
a wonderful doctor by the name of Sarah Becker. And
if I didn't mention the first doctor's name, her name
is doctor Jeanine Crafossi, and then doctor Mark Anderson is
from the aim In Clinic. Doctor Sarah Becker is a
physical therapist, but she's way more than that. She practices
(48:46):
a practice called releaseology and she helps the body release trauma.
She can see it, so she just knows how to
manipulate the body to help it to release it. And
then we have a crannial sacral release practitioner. We have
(49:06):
Rich Humphreys, who my husband and I'm not sure last
time he did the muscle testing and there was a
never ending line. I hope he does that. He wants
to talk about Voster Shastra, which is something to come
and learn, and you know whether he gets to talk
about it or not. Now, if you've heard this, you
(49:26):
can ask him what is foster Shastra. I'm not going
to get into it. You can look it up. Foster
Shastra is basically the science of architect which is the
original function way.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
It sounds like there's going to be lots of educational
definitely an educational event, which I absolutely love. There's sometimes
things that you cannot get in a podcast. It's good
to go face to face. We had COVID for a
while where everybody was separated, and this is a time
for people to come together under the same space, to learn,
(50:01):
to meet like minded people and to build community. That's
what I love. You're building community while educating and spreading
a positive, powerful message. So it's good stuff. Let's go
back to the event. What time is it?
Speaker 3 (50:17):
Saturday, June seventh, Downtown Channeler at the SOHO sixty three,
which is on sixty three East Boston. It's just east
of Arizona on Boston Street. Lots of free parking and
a parking garage. There's plenty of free parking right across
the street from it, and so there's that parking is
(50:38):
not going to be a problem, not going to be
a hassle. It will be wonderful, especially if you're parking
the garage. It'll be nice and cooling there out of
the heat. And then from ten am to two pm,
so be there by ten, no longer than ten, so
that you can get the full.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
Effect right on. That's good stuff. If someone wanted to
pick up your books, where can they find the books?
Speaker 3 (50:58):
Again, I will have my books available at the event.
I will have my own table. This time, I'll have books.
I'll have some wonderful bundles my affirmation cards. This is
a mug that has the affirmation of I am perfect
for my purpose for being here now. You are perfect
for your purpose for being here now, and you could
(51:21):
be reminded of that all day as you drink your water.
For warm water, what's some line?
Speaker 1 (51:29):
I love it. Thank you so much for coming on
and hanging out with me. And your message definitely is
a powerful message and a positive one and one that
people need to hear. And so I'm excited for you.
I'm grateful that you invited me to be a part
of your event. It was really beautiful and I know
this one's going to be amazing as well, and so
(51:51):
I definitely look forward. You guys have got to come
on out, bring your family, bring your friends. Do they
need to register?
Speaker 3 (51:58):
I recommend registering. So it's Expo dot Diversity dot org
and there's going to be activities for children. I encourage
you if you want your children to participate in the
yoga for the children. It's going to be capped off
at so many and so it's a limited number and
you need to register because we need to know how
(52:19):
many children they need to be preregistered, and there is
a waiverform that needs to be signed. So all that's
in the registration process.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
And I'm going to have all that in the show notes.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
It's and there's a QR code that makes it really
easy to register. So if you do happen to come
without registering, you'll have an opportunity to do it while
you're waiting on the line, or you'll do it when
you get to the table.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
Before we go and end our episode, I do want
to say thank you so much again for hanging out
with me, and I'll let you go ahead and take
these guys on out with your your ending message. Thank
you again Kimberly. You guys have got to follow her
on Instagram, Facebook. I will have all of the information
in the show note. Yes, Kimberly, the mic is yours.
(53:04):
Take it away.
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Thank you. Just remember that you are perfect for your
purpose for being here now. Don't let anyone and including yourself,
tell you otherwise.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
If there's one thing I hope that you take away
from today's episode, it is you are not behind, you
are not broken, and that you're exactly where you're meant
to be learning the pieces of your own puzzle and
as my conversation with Kimberly today reminded me and hopefully
reminded you, that self love isn't something that we earn,
(53:39):
it's something that we return to. And if this episode
resonated with you, please share with someone who needs to
hear it. And if you're on this path of self discovery,
know you're not walking alone. Until next time, be kind
to yourself, take care of yourself and each other. And
(53:59):
as a remark, all of the information for Kimberly is
located in the show notes. Please connect with her on
social media and if you are in the state of Arizona,
we hope to see you on June the seventh. Thank
you all so much for tuning in I'm chante with
authentic Talks.
Hi, guys, Welcome back to the show. I'm super excited
about this episode, you guys, because if you tuned in
last week, I shared why I've been away for a
year and what that journey has meant for me. Well, today,
Mark's a special moment not only in my back, but
I'm also sitting down with my very first guest on
(00:23):
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
We're diving into.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
A topic that's become a cornerstone for my own healing
self love. My guest today is someone whose perspective is
both soulful and grounded, and when I asked her how
she sees life, this is what she shared with me.
I see life as a multi dimensional puzzle, and each
(00:47):
of us is working on our own personal puzzle, made
up of experiences, challenges, insights, and gifts. Some pieces feel joyful,
others painful, but every piece matters, and the beautiful truth
is our individual puzzle fits into a greater human puzzle,
(01:09):
which fits into an even larger planetary and cosmic design.
When we begin placing the pieces of our own life,
understanding our purpose, healing our wounds, reclaiming our truth, we're
not just aligning with ourselves, We're contributing to a wholeness
(01:29):
of something much bigger. Her message simply put, you are
perfect for your purpose for being here now, and when
we begin to live from that truth, everything begins to
make sense. You guys, Before we dive in with our
episode today, I do want to take a moment to
extend an open invitation for you to come back again
(01:52):
and again. And I also want to invite you to
subscribe to the podcast. That way you won't miss an
episode once I uploaw to show. With that being said,
you guys, I'm excited to introduce today's guests. She is
a holistic inner piece alchemist, a speaker, author, and the
founder of heart Joy Transformation. Please welcome Kimberly Humphreys too
(02:18):
Authentic Talks.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Authentic Talks is all about authentic conversations. This show is
all about growth, love, respect, success, mind, body and spirit.
If you're looking to grow and become your authentic self,
then this is the podcast for you and I am
your host.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Chante. Welcome to the show. I'm really excited because I
attended an event that Kimberly created or brought together and
it was a very beautiful event. Her book is titled
The Ultimate Self Love Guide in journal, a journey to
embrace your true self. I just really and I'm so
(03:00):
honored to have you here with me today, Kimberly. Before
we dive in with our episode today, can I have
you to introduce yourself to our listeners.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
To Chanta, and I just want to say I am
honored to be your first guest after the break. Such
an honor to be here and to work with you
because you helped me to bring that dream of mind
to life, which is my passion. And we created a
(03:30):
nonprofit to be able to bring the education, the knowledge
of holistic health, what holistic actually means, and how people
can have an alternative option to what they're relegated to
as far as their health goes and their lifestyle. It's
(03:51):
so much as you said, my passion is self love,
because that's where it starts. Holistic is about the whole person,
and we cannot do anything until we know who we are.
I love it, know who we are, accept who we are,
and just really appreciate ourselves because all that we give
(04:15):
to ourselves.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I love that message. I love the message that you
share and I know that you have a signature message
where you say you are perfect for your purpose. For
being here now. And I absolutely love it because that's
actually a really powerful statement in itself. Can we talk
about that a little bit more?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Absolutely? It is so true something that has to be unpacked.
We're not going to unpack it here now because that's
a whole that's a whole book. But the truth is
everything that's created has a function, right, yes, And everything
that the creation is made for its purpose, for the
(05:03):
function of it. And we're no different. We have a creator,
and the creator created us for a purpose. And guess what,
My purpose is not the same as yours. No one's
purpose is exactly the same. And so we cannot compare
ourselves elves to anyone else.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Sometimes people actually do that, where they compare themselves to
someone else. I was having a conversation today with someone
and they were talking about It was a conversation about
needing to get a house because they needed to have that,
they needed a mortgage payment in order to feel like
they've fulfilled what they think society believes is successful. And
(05:46):
so when you talk about care, yes, yes, And so
we had got into a pretty deep conversation about that.
So I love what you're sharing. So someone else may
have had a dream about that, and that could have
been their purpose to get a home so that they
could raise the foster kids. But that doesn't have to
be your dream to adopt ten babies and you know,
(06:06):
have a six bedroom home so that you can raise
foster kids. So I was basically explaining.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
That everyone that's a death a special calling right there.
You have to get that call, you know, in order
to fulfill it. And that's the thing. We each have
our own unique calling and only our heart. That's where
those answers are.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And what I love in my practice is I help
people go there to get their answers. I don't have
their answers, They have their answers. I just help them
get to the place in themselves where they can hear
them receive them.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I know that you definitely talk a lot about self
love and your book, as everyone can see, it has
a title in there and you are the Heart of
Joy coach. The concept of self self love can mean
different things to different people. Can we talk about your
personal journey and how you got to this place where
(07:09):
you became the where you recognize or identified but self
love was You're a part of your purpose, And like,
how do we really yes.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah. I had an interesting childhood and
growing up I was always different. I certainly had no
love for myself or acceptance of myself because I wasn't
accepted at all, Like I wasn't accepted by my parents
(07:43):
or my grandparents, or like I just wasn't accepted. So
then I entered into marriages where I wasn't accepted for
who I was. I could never be good enough. And
it wasn't until after the second one that I realized, okay,
two marriages failed. I'm the common denominator here. It's me.
(08:07):
I don't have a healthy love for myself. And where
that came from has to be spirit because it just
came to me, I don't have a healthy love for myself,
and I'm attracting these men into my life who do
not have a healthy love for themselves or me. And
so I said at that point, I am willing to
be single if you get me out of this one.
(08:29):
I'm willing to be single for the rest of health.
And I said, but if I am healthy enough to
have a healthy marriage, I'm open to that. But I'm
willing to be single for the rest of my life
if that's what it takes, and then I began to
work on myself and through many different encounters experiences, I
(08:54):
learned and grew in that unconditional self acceptance. And actually
it was definitely a gradual process. It was any evolution
over time, and yes, that was that part of it.
Before that, when I was actually yet in the marriage,
(09:16):
the first one I asked myself. I was in my
mid twenties maybe thirties, and I asked myself, what is
that you would be willing to die for? You know,
you need to a backupone. What is your non negotiable?
And I came up with love. Love was the non negotiable. Now,
(09:39):
at that time, obviously I didn't completely understand what love was.
I just knew that I knew about the love of God,
a God a love, and that was the love I
was speaking about, not by love, which is unconditional acceptance,
even though I didn't even interpret it like that at
(10:00):
the time. Like I said in my thirties, I had
always wanted to be whatever God wanted me to be.
I said, Okay, whatever however you want to use me,
you created me, I'm open to that, and that's all
I want. I want to do what I'm here to do.
And so, like I said, I evolved into understanding what
(10:23):
that looks like, what it is. You know, I have
that metaphor about the puzzle. I love putting together puzzles,
and so through my life I am putting together thro
this puzzle, and I knew that it was not only
for myself, but that I would reach a point where
I would be able to share it to help them with.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Their When you say that you felt that you were
unaccepted by your parents and grandparents, can you clarify what?
What does that? What do you mean by that?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Absolutely? So, on my dad's side, there was a lot
of Caucasian, well it's not even Caucasian. They were actually Portuguese,
but they didn't know it. But their light skinned lot
us straight here, a lot of Native American maybe Indian,
well it was Portuguese. That there was a Native American too,
(11:16):
and Caucasian. Yes, I don't know, but you had that.
And then on the other side you had more African American. Well,
I wasn't black enough, I wasn't white enough, and I
was holistic minded, and nobody knew what that was. I
didn't even know what it was. I just knew it
made sense to me.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
As a child.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yes, Oh wow, I wanted to know. I don't First
of all, if I have a headache, I don't want
an asport. I want to know what's causing the headache.
So if you take me to the doctor, I want
them to tell me what's causing my headache. Well, they
didn't know, they didn't care. They were just trying to
give me some medicine. I didn't want any medicine. I
didn't want any medicine From as long as I can remember,
(12:00):
I'd never wanted medicine. I wanted to know what's causing
the problem. I remember thinking, give the medicine is just
like putting a band aid on a gushing move and
it's not healing, and it's not gonna help it to heal.
It's just gonna cover up, you know, or mask it. Yeah,
And so that was my thinking. And this one time
(12:22):
me seem like I'm balancing around. But all of these
are puzzle pieces that came together for my puzzle. When
I was, you know, ten years old, I'm gonna say
I was getting on my mother's ner rebiligent. We were
getting ready to go somewhere, and she just said go
out and sit in the car and tell everybody's till
I come, and everybody's ready. So I went and sat
(12:44):
in the car, and I buy myself sitting in the
back seat. And I was frustrated too. I said, what
is life all about? It just can't be. You're born,
you try to be happy, you have children and they
do the same, and then you die. Doesn't make any sense. This,
what's the purpose. I'm looking around the neighborhood and I'm
(13:07):
seeing all this order in the world, you know, And
I said, if we can create this, surely some higher
intelligence how to create us and have a purpose for us,
a purpose for creating us. And if they're that intelligent,
and I know they are, obviously they would know how
(13:29):
to communicate that to us. So now I'm not angry
or upset. I'm curious. So when my mom and my
grandmother they get in the car and my sister's I
don't know my words, but I remember asking the questions.
And I asked those questions about our purpose my mom.
It was at the risk of her backhanding me, slap,
(13:51):
you know, say shut up, but she didn't. But I
took that risk. She actually paused and thought about it,
and she said, yes, there is a god. His name
is Jesus, and he gave us the Bible. And the
gist of the Bible is to treat others the way
you want to be treated. And I my heart kind
(14:13):
of sank because that didn't answer my question. Really, I thought, well,
i'll get my hands on that Bible and i'll get
the answer. And I did get the hands on the Bible,
and I opened it up and I started to read it,
but it was an old English and I couldn't understand it.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
That's like the bowl exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, I couldn't get past the old English. And I
didn't think to you know, we didn't go to the
library or and obviously we didn't have the internet in
nineteen sixty or seventy what it was. Yeah, I was
born in sixty, so it was it around seventy nineteen
seventy something. Anyway, I just thought, okay, well I guess
(15:00):
I won't know. I just kind of probably game up.
But that curiosity never went away. It was their present
open for these answers to these questions. That was ten,
when I was eighteen, in my own apartment, people came
to my door and offered me a Bible study, and
I accepted, and I started studying the Bible. And I
(15:24):
studied that Bible for thirty years with different denominations, and
I got some answers. I didn't give them all. I
kept studying out. You know, I just had this journey.
And I actually tell the story of that journey in
my first book, What's Love Got to do with Anything?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
What's Love Got to do with Anything?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That's it?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I love that the title of it. And is that
book available where people could purchase that book as well?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Amazon? Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Okay, my Journey to Love? Yeah yeah, oh, I love it.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
So me as an author, you'll see all the books
that I am part of.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Nice. So, once you discovered what self love was like,
did you find that it was easy to show love
to your children or was that something that came about
in later years.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
It's interesting that being able to show love to my
children was in itself an evolution, because growing up I
definitely wanted to give my children more than I had.
Oh yeah, But I didn't have the tools or the
(16:41):
model to really know what that was. I did the
best I could with what I had. I was there
for them. I guess they came home and they brought
home a grade that was lower than what I believed
they could do. I would go meet with the teacher
and find find out what's going on why, you know what?
(17:03):
And usually it was the teacher. And but after I
had that meeting, they brought home straight a's I mean
you know with me. Yeah, class was so I felt
like I supported them there when it came to like,
for example, this is also let's going to be public
(17:24):
with anyway. My son he would say, when he was
about ten or eleven, Mom, would you come give me
a BackRub. I would give anything to be able to
have that opportunity again, sleep just trying to stay up later,
you know. Yeah, there were things little things like that
being there for his games. I was all about being
(17:46):
in church. We needed to be in church. And it
was just me. I mean I had a husband, but
he wasn't in church with me. They were about the baseball,
you know, and I was about, well, we need to
be in church. That was that was me though. I
just wanted to I want I wanted some structure for
(18:07):
a healthy family. That was my intention. Mm hmm. And
I believe this. I have no regrets only because I learned.
I learned that everything happens exactly the way it's supposed
to for the highest good of everyone involved.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I believe that too. And you can't go back and
change the past.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Not only can you all back back and change it,
you don't need to. Just like I said, we are
perfect for our purpose for being here. So our are
our experiences. Each of them has a gift for us,
(18:52):
especially if they cause us trouble or pain. And the
wonderful thing is that the deeper and more difficult the
heart of the pain, the greater the gift. In such
a way that once we realize that, once we have
(19:13):
that gift that that painful thing came to bring us,
we would do it over again in a heartbeat. We
wouldn't change anything. So if we are still feeling like
we want to change it, just know there is something
very valuable and powerful that that came to give us.
(19:34):
That'sent like a gold nugget, like mining for gold. In
those painful experiences.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Like you said, it's like your puzzle pieces. Yes, your
puzzle pieces.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Absolute Yes, the puzzle pieces.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yes, I believe that that is absolutely true for people
who are struggling right now with self love, and they
don't understand, like what that looks like, what it feels like?
Do you think that is? And what can they do?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
What it is is we're evolving as humanity, as people,
and I don't like to see people blame somebody or
something of this conditioning. The conditioning is just part of
(20:23):
our spiritual immaturity, and so we are here to grow
spiritually into the fullness of love. We may not get
to the fullness of love in this lifetime. We might
it depends. Everybody's different, everybody's on a different path, but
all to the same love, but at different levels, different stages.
(20:46):
And this is why we need to take judgment out
of our life. It has no It just not serving
us anymore. It may have served us one hundred years ago,
but it's not serving us now in this time of
humanity and our existence and evolution, in this time of
our evolution. So just know that wherever you are in
(21:08):
your level or ability to love and accept yourself, you're
right where you're supposed to be to do the growing
that you need to do. Now. The universe has brought
up a whole crop of coaches, and so there is
one for you we're both coaches. There's people for each
(21:30):
of us, for all of them. For every coach, there
is a person who needs that person to be their coach.
When you hear your coach speak, you will know that's
the coach for you because it will resonate in your heart.
You'll go, I need to see that person. I need
to work with her or him. Because there's male and
(21:51):
female coaches, all kinds, they're all ages, they're all flavors,
and there is one for everybody, and so you do
need a coach, you just do. That's why we're here.
That's why the universe brought us up, because people need
coaches to be able to be that. I want to
(22:13):
say mirror, but it is. It is. It's a mirror
because we reflect everything that we see, everything that we
interpret around us, that we see in the world is
our reflection. And this is how we learn how to
love of ourselves by recognizing that what we see is
(22:36):
our reflection. If we like it, it's something that we
can appreciate about ourselves. If we don't like it, it's
an opportunity to make peace with a part of ourselves
that we have not accepted. And that's a process it's
not going to happen overnight. The first thing, though, the
first step is to recognize, to realize that you truly
(23:01):
are perfect for your purpose for being here now. And
with that mindset, with that understanding, with that context, that
new context for your life, you can begin to interpret things,
your actions, your words, your behaviors in a more loving way,
(23:25):
a more self accepting way, a more forgiving way. Learning
to unconditionally accept ourselves is a process, and it happens
one moment at a time, one action at a time.
The reason we need to coach is because most of
our way of operating is unconscious. We're not aware of it.
(23:50):
So we need someone to be accountable to help us
become aware of the things that we do, think and say.
The way we are are not serving us that we're
not aware of. So that's why it's important to have
a partner in the process. I wrote the book The
(24:11):
Ultimate Guy, Self Love Guide and Journal to help people
who are not ready to go to get a coach
to The book is kind of that, you know, and
then I also created a community for people to communicate
to kind of share their journey or their truck struggles
and get support from each other puer support as well
(24:34):
as mine.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I love that. I love what you're doing because I
think that like self love is one of the it's
it's a hard one for people to sometimes embrace when
they don't have a coach or have the tools. I
find that people have a difficult time when you're speaking
with them and doing some of the exercises like you have.
(24:57):
This is a journal, you guys, and there's like questions
in here and it takes you on a little journey.
Sometimes they have a hard time with things like writing
a self love letter to themselves or looking at themselves
in the mirror and saying I love you. And you
said something Kimberly that I thought was really key when
you said you don't believe in you know, like others
(25:19):
just kind of like putting the blame in other places
and not taking the accountability for themselves to basically heal
and to get to the next level. That happens frequently.
I remember being there myself. Where you've heard those stories
where they say there's two people that grew up in
(25:42):
a household and the one guy says, hey, I am
an alcoholic because my dad was an alcoholic, and the
other ones like I'm not because my dad was an alcoholic.
It's kind of like that where at some point you
do take responsibility for doing better, you know, and just
kind of taking the steps to learn. I know that
you're you have a holistic health event. I attended the
(26:04):
very first one. It was called Ignite your Holistic Health.
That was the name of the very first one. It
was really nice. I enjoyed it. I met some amazing people.
And this is something that you're talking about or sharing
that you want to take on the road pretty much
from city to city. Can you make the connection with
self love and holistic health? And how did you get there?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Yeah? And I just want to say you were an
integral part of the wonderful energy of that event, and
I just want to acknowledge you and praise you for that.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yes, thank you, that was all you. It was you
I loved. I mean, you came up, you have vision.
It was just nice to see your vision come to
to light, you know. And I think it's definitely something
that's going to become one of those things where where
(27:00):
it's like the help fust you know. The holistic Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, So holistic simply means the whole person and the
whole person starts with the person. There's a whole universe
inside of us that we that we can explore, that
(27:27):
we want to explore, that we want to get to
know except appreciate an honor because as we do that,
the deeper we appreciate and go into ourselves. That's the
depth that we can actually appreciate what's outside of us. Because,
as I said before and now and it's worth saying again,
(27:51):
what we experience outside of us is merely a reflection
of what's inside of us. And when we understand that,
we operate in that, that's holistic living.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I love that. That's a hard one to swallow sometimes
when we have these different Yeah, it's pretty tough when
you have like different encounters. And you mentioned your mother,
and we love our parents, you know, I love my mom.
There's times where I see things in her that, you know,
it could drive you nuts a little bit, or it's
(28:28):
it just feels tough to have to accept. And one
day I was sharing it with a friend and I said,
you know, sometimes my mom is extremely negative and it's
just and then she was like, she said something like, well,
that's a reflection of you also. Basically what you see
in her. You see it because it's in you. Yeah,
(28:48):
I was like ooh, I was like, Oh, that's tough.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
That is I want to clarify that. Yes, there's two
ways to see it. Though we can see it and
the reason existive that's when we're not acknowledging it in
ourselves and we're not accepting it in ourselves. Is there
because at some point it served us And even if
we inherited it from our mother or whomever. When we
(29:17):
see it and we have that reaction, that's an opportunity
to make peace with it in ourselves. Then when we
see it and it was not going to change them
per se necessarily it could, but when we see it
in them, after we have accepted and resolved and reconciled
it in ourselves, we will see in them with compassion.
(29:40):
It will not be an irritant or it will be
something that we see in our heart just kind of
goes out to them because we were.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
There right on. And then I also love the fact
that you didn't give up on love. Normally you hear
people say, oh, said I gave up on all of that.
I went through a divorce and that was just it,
and I just decided to dive into you know, my
work or my love for something else. IM poorted in
(30:13):
there and just left the humans alone.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
So many people are there, So many people are there.
You know, this journey, my journey has been so rich.
I feel so blessed and honored to have had the experiences,
gain the knowledge and depth of understanding that I'm so
(30:38):
happy to be able to have these kinds of conversations
so that I can share that wisdom that I've learned
with others who are suffering. And you do not have
to You do not have to suffer. You do not
have to shut down your heart because of past relations
(31:03):
failed relationships, because those past failed relationships have a richness.
You know, if it weren't for that second one, I
would not have realized that I needed to love myself.
That was a rich gift. I have to say. I
(31:26):
was devastated when that second marriage didn't work. I was like, God,
how could you you know how sacred I feel about marriage?
How could you let me get into this marriage with
this man? But blah blah blah blah blah. You know
I was I do. It wasn't easy. Yeah, there was
a lot of rich and you know, painful times. But
(31:49):
then because of my relationship with my creator, I came
through it, because of my faith, because I I know,
after I you know, have my temper tantrum, I was
able to receive that message. Yes that you know, first time,
(32:14):
second time. These you know, the men that you know,
they were, they there's nothing wrong with them. Whatever is
going on with us, whatever is is a part of
our purpose for being here. It's our puzzle pieces, it's
the things that we have to work with. And the key,
the message that I really want people to understand is
(32:35):
we need the proper context to evaluate, to interpret our
life experiences, to put this puzzle together. Where if we
don't have the proper frame for it, you know, the
context of it, we're not going to be able to
put together a puzzle that makes any sense at all,
(32:56):
it fits together at all. We only within that framework
of our purpose for being here is we're perfect for
that purpose, and the purpose is for us to grow
into evolve into greater love, and that happens through our
(33:20):
own unconditional self acceptance in our evolution in that process,
one thing at a time, one incident at a time,
one thought, feeling, you know, whenever we put ourselves pay
attention to our self talk. When we hear ourselves put
(33:42):
ourselves down and call usselves stupid or you idiot, or
you look. You know, we do this and these are
the things that when we become aware of what we're
saying to ourselves and change that model, change that dialogue
with ourselves, we begin to change. We begin to grow.
(34:05):
And when I'm working with people, we get into the stuff,
painful stuff. And what I love about it is we
get to trans transform the pain into self love. That's
what we do, and it is I love it. I
(34:28):
love it. I love it because for years I pray,
just use me, use me for your good.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, that's good, said, is such a joy. Do you
think that there's a misconception about what self love is?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Absolutely? Absolutely people think self love is bubble baths.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
And go get your nails done.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Exactly, getting my nails done, getting my hair done, getting
my buying clothes, buying things for myself. No no, no, no
no no. I mean those things are nice, but that's
not self love, or maybe a self care. But self
love is unconditional self acceptance. That's what self love is,
(35:13):
and that happens as we react and respond to the
world around us and begin to accept it as a
reflection of us appreciating what we like and love reconciling
what we don't.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Self love. I love self love.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
You know, our spiritual growth.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Why it just feels like that's something that we just
didn't well for me. I feel like that was not
really a thing growing up. It's like I feel like
you nowadays, you have to teach kids. I feel like
we have to like teach them things that we didn't learn.
And I don't know that that is an automatic thing
where you're just like five years old and you're like,
(36:05):
I love myself. And it probably does have a lot
to do with the way we are treated by, you know,
at home as little ones. And it's like at first,
you know, you're cute and cuddly, and I think they
care and I think they do love. But it's just
everybody has a love language.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Everybody has a love language. And I was listening to
you about you know, we didn't grow up this way,
and yet we have to raise our children or teach
our children. And I think that why I am unique
(36:48):
in being this self love advocate. My parents didn't even
know what love was. I'm not just my parents. Their parents.
Nobody ever said I love you when I was a child.
Nobody ever said that. That just was not something anybody said.
(37:11):
And I like, I said, so my parents. My mother
was sixteen, she had just turned sixteen five days before
I was born. My dad turned eighteen after I was
born ten days or something like that, pul days. So
they were kids, and they were not just kids. They
were like rebellious kids. They were just wilding out on
(37:34):
the street doing whatever it anyway, you know best. That's
how they were. I love them. I chose them, and
this is this is something I want to just share
real quick, real quick. We chose our Everything about our
lives are soul.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Did Yeah I do believe that.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Yeah, yeah, because this is our movie. We chose every
character in the movie to play out our role.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
So that we could evolve.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Yes, yes, absolutely, that is the purpose of our life
to evolve, and it's a spiritual evolution. And so we're
not going I'm going to going to understand it from
a human perspective. It's just not going to make any sense.
So it makes sense from the context that we are
(38:30):
spirit beings come here to have a human experience to evolve,
our soul that's probably a whole lot to unpat and
we're not going to do that today. But just know
if that makes sense, that's why we're in the human realm.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
That's do you find that you had some commonalities when
you think about it now and you if you just
look back on your life and you go, oh, I
chose my mother to be my mother for this reason
I was able to. I didn't. Yeah, I had that.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
My mother is a free spirit, and so I know
I got that from her, and my dad is a
pragmatic and I kind of grew up by myself because
they weren't there. My mom was doing her thing, my
(39:20):
dad was doing his thing. My grandmother was doing her thing.
She was she was the custom she was pretty much.
I was left in her custody most of the time.
But she was busy. She was going. She belonged to
all these clubs, Masonic Messianic clubs and church and whatever.
She was always doing something. So I was at home.
(39:40):
I was the oldest, and probably from eight years old,
I was taking care of my younger siblings that were
almost two years younger, five years younger, eight years younger. Yeah,
my sister that's eight years younger. Than me. I that
was my baby. I changed her diapers, all the bottles,
(40:00):
made the bottles, made the formula, I did everything.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
So you were already like you were already like, you know,
putting out love at a young age without without realizing it.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Well, I don't know if it was it was, Yeah,
I guess I was.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah, it was a form of love that you didn't
let them die, you fatter change your diapers because you know,
that's a form of love, and it might not be
all the way up to like you're what you think
that it should be, you know, or should have been,
but it was love, you know. Yeah, it was a
(40:39):
form of love.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
So tell us about like the holistic event, how does
self love tie into the holistic event, the holistic approach
or I don't know if I'm asking the right question,
but I get it.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
I understand where the holistic expo comes from and from
and self love and how they go together, Yes, where
they meet. So self love is a part of holistic Okay,
it's a part.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
And you did say that earlier.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
Yeah, you know, because people need to know. I just
want people to know they really aren't that they aren't
connected in that there's ourselves. When we accept ourselves, when
we want the best for ourselves, we're gonna want what's holistic.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Mm hm. That definitely makes sense.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yeah, And so I want people to know that they
don't have to be subjugated to well, that's all we
can do for you, there's nothing more that can be done. Well,
that's not true. Just because they don't have a medicine
or a surgery for whatever's going on with you, or
they can't even find what's going on with you, doesn't
(41:58):
mean you're your destitute, you know, doesn't mean that that's
all there is. There's a whole new universe. There's a
whole new world of possibilities for you. And I want
to bring this to the community. And it's not just me.
There's the three of us, right, and there's more of
that are going to come to be a part of it.
(42:19):
Diversity was started by three people who had a passion
for people to not have to suffer. My husband is
an holistic practitioner and he's amazing. The thing I really
love about diversity is that each of us, the three
of us, from a child in our special area, in
(42:41):
our lane. We have been growing in this from a
child my husband used to read medical encyclopedias. His mother
was a nurse, and so they were in the home
and his sister was always sick with something and he
would just like to go in the encyclopedia, decide to
see what's wrong with her. And he would tell them,
this is what's going on with her. And they'd say, oh,
(43:03):
you don't know what you're talking about, and they take
her fu enough. What he said was what the diagnosis was.
And then Shelley our chef, she grew up with. Both
of her grandmothers were chefs and she was always helping
them and she loved helping them. That was her thing.
She had sisters and brothers, but she was the one
(43:24):
that always wanted to help do the cooking. And she's
just a chef and a chef in her own right,
and she's a soul food chef. And her soul food
evolved into seasonal, organic, unprocessed and local. Hmm, that's the soul.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Seasonal, organic, unprocessed and local. Oh I love it. Yeah, Oh,
that's awesome food.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
She has a food truck she makes healthy there. She
also got a master's in digestion through an Arabatic teacher,
so she understands it iravatically, which is bio energetically, so
she understands how what's going on with you, what foods
you really need for what's going on.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
With you to help your body.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
Yes, it's at a cellular level. So each of us
practices our craft holistically at the cellular level, each of us.
And that's what idversity is about. Ire means life to
the full. Diversity is learning. It's just learning, learning in
(44:37):
a way that changes you. University, life and longevity is
what we.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Yeah, so you are on a mission to educate.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
Yes, educate, bring awareness, expand the awareness of what's available
to you.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
I think there definitely is a huged, huge misconception. Some
people think that holistic is only about being a vegan.
They say, just take the meat out and there you go.
You know. Some people think that it's you know, like
going on a liquid diet. I've heard a lot of
people thinking that, hey, look I'm drinking. What is it?
(45:20):
It's juicing now is what they say, And that that's
a holistic approach. And I love how you define it
because I agree with you one thousand percent that it
is all of you, all parts, including your energy, your
your inner, your outer like how you just the whole everything,
and it takes time to get there.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
We have seven layers of being in this space. Our
physical body, our ethereal body, our mental body, our emotional body,
our energetic body, and our spirit body and our there's
(46:03):
more mental our mental body, and they're not in the
I didn't put them in the right order. But we
have all those though. All those are parts of layers
of who we are and what we are, and when
we are healing, we have to address all of them.
(46:25):
We're not going to be fully, you know, we have
to address all of them. I love it everything.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Yes, going back to your Holistic Health event, tell me
the name of it. It's because I was calling it
a night Year Holistic Health because that was the very
first event. And there's an event coming up on June
the seventh here in Chandler, Arizona, and it's called thank You.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
So the theme name is intraduct to Holistic Health. Ignite
your health holistically, Ignite your health holistically and if you
come for no other reason, come to learn what holistic is.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
What can I expect when they get there? Are there
going to be like guess.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
I'm so excited about our our our speakers and our vendors.
So we have a wonderful doctor. She's amazing. She's a
chiropractor and a neurologist. So she helps to connect the
mind and the body ahead and yeah, the brain and
the and the and the body and align them, which
(47:40):
covers a plethora of challenges that people are faced with.
And she'll talk about that, so you've got to hear her.
And then we have the Aiming Clinic. I don't know
if you ever heard of Daniel Amen. I started following
him in the nineties. He does these scans on the
brain to be able to let you know what you're doing.
(48:00):
And he's a specialist when it comes to ADHD, and
ADHD is so prevalent in the world, and so he
helps with that. He has protocols, he has a book,
he has a whole program, and he has clinics now
all over the world. He's originally from California. Well, his
primary clinic is in California. One of his doctors is
(48:21):
going to be speaking as well. And then we have
a wonderful doctor by the name of Sarah Becker. And
if I didn't mention the first doctor's name, her name
is doctor Jeanine Crafossi, and then doctor Mark Anderson is
from the aim In Clinic. Doctor Sarah Becker is a
physical therapist, but she's way more than that. She practices
(48:46):
a practice called releaseology and she helps the body release trauma.
She can see it, so she just knows how to
manipulate the body to help it to release it. And
then we have a crannial sacral release practitioner. We have
(49:06):
Rich Humphreys, who my husband and I'm not sure last
time he did the muscle testing and there was a
never ending line. I hope he does that. He wants
to talk about Voster Shastra, which is something to come
and learn, and you know whether he gets to talk
about it or not. Now, if you've heard this, you
(49:26):
can ask him what is foster Shastra. I'm not going
to get into it. You can look it up. Foster
Shastra is basically the science of architect which is the
original function way.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
It sounds like there's going to be lots of educational
definitely an educational event, which I absolutely love. There's sometimes
things that you cannot get in a podcast. It's good
to go face to face. We had COVID for a
while where everybody was separated, and this is a time
for people to come together under the same space, to learn,
(50:01):
to meet like minded people and to build community. That's
what I love. You're building community while educating and spreading
a positive, powerful message. So it's good stuff. Let's go
back to the event. What time is it?
Speaker 3 (50:17):
Saturday, June seventh, Downtown Channeler at the SOHO sixty three,
which is on sixty three East Boston. It's just east
of Arizona on Boston Street. Lots of free parking and
a parking garage. There's plenty of free parking right across
the street from it, and so there's that parking is
(50:38):
not going to be a problem, not going to be
a hassle. It will be wonderful, especially if you're parking
the garage. It'll be nice and cooling there out of
the heat. And then from ten am to two pm,
so be there by ten, no longer than ten, so
that you can get the full.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
Effect right on. That's good stuff. If someone wanted to
pick up your books, where can they find the books?
Speaker 3 (50:58):
Again, I will have my books available at the event.
I will have my own table. This time, I'll have books.
I'll have some wonderful bundles my affirmation cards. This is
a mug that has the affirmation of I am perfect
for my purpose for being here now. You are perfect
for your purpose for being here now, and you could
(51:21):
be reminded of that all day as you drink your water.
For warm water, what's some line?
Speaker 1 (51:29):
I love it. Thank you so much for coming on
and hanging out with me. And your message definitely is
a powerful message and a positive one and one that
people need to hear. And so I'm excited for you.
I'm grateful that you invited me to be a part
of your event. It was really beautiful and I know
this one's going to be amazing as well, and so
(51:51):
I definitely look forward. You guys have got to come
on out, bring your family, bring your friends. Do they
need to register?
Speaker 3 (51:58):
I recommend registering. So it's Expo dot Diversity dot org
and there's going to be activities for children. I encourage
you if you want your children to participate in the
yoga for the children. It's going to be capped off
at so many and so it's a limited number and
you need to register because we need to know how
(52:19):
many children they need to be preregistered, and there is
a waiverform that needs to be signed. So all that's
in the registration process.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
And I'm going to have all that in the show notes.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
It's and there's a QR code that makes it really
easy to register. So if you do happen to come
without registering, you'll have an opportunity to do it while
you're waiting on the line, or you'll do it when
you get to the table.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
Before we go and end our episode, I do want
to say thank you so much again for hanging out
with me, and I'll let you go ahead and take
these guys on out with your your ending message. Thank
you again Kimberly. You guys have got to follow her

Speaker 3 (53:05):
Thank you. Just remember that you are perfect for your
purpose for being here now. Don't let anyone and including yourself,
tell you otherwise.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
If there's one thing I hope that you take away
from today's episode, it is you are not behind, you
are not broken, and that you're exactly where you're meant
to be learning the pieces of your own puzzle and
as my conversation with Kimberly today reminded me and hopefully
reminded you, that self love isn't something that we earn,
(53:39):
it's something that we return to. And if this episode
resonated with you, please share with someone who needs to
hear it. And if you're on this path of self discovery,
know you're not walking alone. Until next time, be kind
to yourself, take care of yourself and each other. And
