As a postural alignment specialist, you might expect Stanley Dietrich to be all about the body. This podcast proves he is anything but.
As a child he had a thirst for knowledge and as ADHD was discovered this was put to good use as he voraciously explored every avenue that was open to him. From diver, and gymnast to being a winning cheerleader in a woman's world, he knew how to research the best ways to do whatever he needed to do. In life, if he is given lemons he wants to make so much more than just lemonade - he will squeeze every last ounce of good from every part.
Join us to experience the effervescent energy that is contagious and see why he is such a welcome addition to the community at Collaboration Global.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi there. My name is Jiell Tiny.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm from Collaboration Global and this is our podcast, Being
Human Hidden Debts. I'm going to be interviewing some of
our members from Collaboration Global, and they're going.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
To be sharing with you their extraordinary lives. Although they
would probably believe we're just normal.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Everyday, average humans, but they are extraordinary Like you and me.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
We all have our story to tell. We've all been
through difficult.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Times and we've come out at the other end having
learned an extraordinary amount about ourselves that.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
We can share with others.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
So I think you'll find lots of things that will
resonate with where you've been in our.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Journey as world.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I look forward to seeing you on the other side.
Here we go, okay, and welcome to Human Being Hidden Depths,
the podcast by Collecboration Global, where we bring to you,
excuse me, we bring to you our members and special
guests to inspire and ignite you to look at things
(01:10):
from a slightly different way, to check the norm and
put it in a corner and come out with something
totally different.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
As usual.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Stanley and I have started before the Buttons Press record.
So I'm Jill Tiny, and I would like to very
much introduce you to one of Collaboration Global's members, Stanley Ditrick.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Stanley, welcome, and thank you. It's a privilege and an
honor to be here with you.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
She Cotton sucks. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I love listening to your talk and one of the
things that we first came across. Now, I'm going to
park that for a minute. I'll come back to that
in a minute because I know it's going to be
a long story. So I'm just going to ask you
a very short question, whether you can give me a
short answer or not, is anybody's guests.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You're now in Collaboration Global.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
What drew you to this community and why did you
become part of it?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, ultimately I became part of it because of you.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Now, that was the ultimate reason. Because your representation and
your passion is absolutely conveyed and communicated in such a clear,
concise and also attractive way. That was the number one reason.
But it's not just the leader of an organization that
attracts people to stay. It is other people and their mindset,
(02:30):
their attitude, their their willingness to share and to give
and to be transparent that's what makes an organization great.
And I want to say that that you don't have
just an organization. You have an organism. It's a living
it's a living thing that life is continually brought to
the meetings. And when when I come in as an
(02:51):
observer and I watch that, it just makes me want
to stay even longer, Like I don't end the call
at the two hour march you notice you have to
kick me out of the room.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I love it. Yeah, yeah, you want more. You're always
looking for more. I get. And that's this curiosity thing
that's going on with you.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You've got this this I think we were talking about
it earlier, this childlike curiosity.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Of like what else? What else is there?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And that is the beauty of collaboration global, because there
is always going to be more that you know, every
meeting that we have at every different level, whether it's
just the hangout session or whether it's a member's meeting or.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
A guest meeting.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
We could be there all day, this is the thing,
and we restrict it to two hours. And you have
no idea how difficult it is for me to push
that end of meeting button because I know that I
could let it go on all day, and I know
there'll be a lot of people that wouldn't want to leave.
But at the same time, if it went on daily,
probably quite cross with me. So the fact that you
acknowledge and seeing it as an organism, that's the first
(03:51):
word that time that word has been used for us.
I talk about it being organic, I talk about it
being self organizing, but as an organism. That really relates
for me back to to Dr Bruce Lipton who talks
about imaginal cells in a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly,
and then there are cells within that organism that are
(04:11):
different to the rest, that are striving for better, striving
for growth, striving to be that butterfly.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And that is exactly what we are about. So you
just nailed it on the head.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I'm just we are so in tune it scares me sometimes,
but that is just perfect. I have to show you
the video, Bruce Lipton. I'll put a link hopefully to
this podcast as well, so people can go look for
imaginal cells. Dr Bruce Lipton's story. But we're talking about you.
Let's talk about you, Stanley Dietrick. Where about cu based
(04:42):
Obviously the accent is different, so I'm guessing you're not
living in the UK.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Where about cu based?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Say that one more time because it was kind of
breaking up a little bit, and I think it's my internet.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, I said, you're not obviously from the accent, you're
not based in the UK.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Where are you from originally? And else?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I don't have an accent, you don't have.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
A British one.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You don't sound like Dick Van Dyking Marry Poppins, So
you're okay.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I'm located in Indiana in the USA, right middle middle
of the country. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Do you miss the coast?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Am I? Do I miss the coast?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Or yes? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I want to say that obviously, when I was conceived,
I stayed in water for nine months and I've been
trying to find my way back to water since. Yeah,
and I love the ocean. The ocean is that that
serene place. It is the root of who I am.
(05:54):
It is a powerful force that can't be tamed.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And the energy that it gives you.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I'm exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I've always said, if I ever have a problem, I
have to go to the coast, otherwise I can't think clearly,
and then I can get solved in a blink of
an eye. Yeah, So how often do you get to
the coast.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Not very often, honestly, and now probably less often. My
move to Florida a couple of years ago, and so
I had the excuse that I could go. Now he
moved to France and he's got some big waves. But
(06:35):
to go to France, and I will make it, I
will make it part of my normal in the very
near future that I will be frequenting. And because it's
eighteen hours away or sixteen hours away to go to
Myrtle Beach, eastern coast and western coastes or east is
(07:01):
eighteen hours away.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So yeah, so when you come to France, it's only
a hop, skip and a jump to come.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
To West Sussex in the UK most Stefinitely that's a
good plan.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I like that. So let's go back to you in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I always think of a song when I hear that
word in Indiana. Anyway, that's Hollywood. My my other favorite
thing is old Hollywood movies. So there's a I can't.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Remember the film now, Didianna Jones.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Thank you, No, not the Indiana Jones.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
When I'm going back to the fifties, maybe the forties.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
As a song anyway, I digress as usual, as is
my want.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's my podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
You know I can do these kinds of things. What
I was going to say, was before Indiana? Where were
you before them?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Where did you grow up? Was it Indiana?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Uh? No? I met a girl and moved to Indiana.
Long story.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Always the way we follow love everywhere around the world,
don't we.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, work, but I stayed. But I grew up in Ohio.
I was born in California. My mom remarried not wisely
and grew up in Ohio. And I grew up in
a tough way. And I left home when I was
eighteen years old and I was on my own, and
(08:19):
I moved to Wichita, Kansas, and I became an aircraft
mechanic for Boeing. I was a certified welder. My dad
was a deep sea diver underwater welder. He has six
underwater welding patents. And I met him when I was
eighteen years old. So I never knew my dad growing up,
(08:40):
And when I met him, I wanted to be just
like him. And I discovered that I'm more like him
than what I understood. And our proclivities, our attitudes are
the way that we walk across the room the way
that I would order my food. But I'd never been
around my dad. It's amazing. Yeah. So I moved to Wichital, Kansas,
(09:02):
and I worked for Boeing and they hired me as
a welder because I had certifications in all positions, but
they didn't have room, so they asked me to go
into sheet metal mechanic and then aircraft mechanic and I
worked on flight line and then I was part of
a pilot program with Boeing and I became an industrial
(09:22):
engineer without a degree.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Last in six months, I had six or fourteen college
educated people were under me because my experience as a mechanic.
And so this is kind of a little background about
the kind of person that I am, is that I
dive into things and I want to learn more than
(09:46):
what's necessary because I don't know what I'm going to
need in the future. So you know, it's as we
shared earlier, it's like a product that you see and
you go, that's a pretty cool product, but I don't
know when I need it. I just need to re
member and so then I can go back to that product.
And so that's kind of what I did and then
(10:06):
in nineteen ninety I left Boeing and I was going
to go work overseas in Saudi Arabia. And then when
my security clearance was going through, there was this little
thing called the war broke out, and so it eliminated
that position. So what it did was it allowed an
(10:27):
obstacle to become an opportunity part of my life story.
And so long story short. Then a couple of years later,
I met a girl from Indiana and I moved here.
Didn't work out, I stayed and then I got married,
(10:52):
had a couple of kids, got divorced, still have a
couple of kids, and now I got a couple of grandkids.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Well circle, Now that's interesting because I didn't know any
of that about you, about.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Your previous history. Funny enough, we both left home at eighteen.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's interesting how many comparisons you can make in somebody
who you've never met across the world. What I was
going to say, yes, so I didn't know that about
being an industrial engineer. I mean, that's a huge thing
to take on board. And the relationship that you had
with your dad, and how the similarities were so obviously
(11:31):
at the moment you are now on LinkedIn as a
postural alignment specialist, which sounds very fancy. And I've already
experienced the benefits of that when you helped me the
other day with a saw poorly neck. That's a bit
of a hop, skip and a jump from working on
aircraft and in Boeing and in that kind of space.
(11:55):
So tell us that that journey that you kind of
did you get disillusioned with where you were? Was it
just you went from job to job or was there
a point? And this is what I'm really interested in,
there's a point when you get to your purpose and
you realize what you're on this planet to do. Have
you reached that yet or was that part of the
(12:15):
journey to what you're doing today.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It's always been part of the journey. And the reason
that I say it that way is because from a
very very early age, I never called anybody dad growing up,
never called another man dad. I had one dad, and
I didn't know him, and I wasn't going to give
that privilege, which was an an earned privilege to another
(12:39):
human being. Yeah, And so I became a protector of
my mom at a very early age. And when I
say that, my mom did not marry wisely. I want
to say that I was seven years old and I
was taking a plastic baseball bat to a marine that
was beating the hell out of my mom. And now
(13:01):
I know that now he had a lot of issues.
He was in the Vietnam War, He had a lot
of issues, So there was a lot of psychological damage.
So I didn't understand the psychological damage. But what I
did know. What I did know is that that wasn't
the right way to respond. There was something wrong with
that picture. And so early on, I said there had
to be a better way. So whatever it is that
(13:23):
I've done in my life, I've always said there has
to be a better way. And whether it was working,
you know, in school, or whether it was working for Boeing,
I said, there was a better way, you know, there
was a better way to do things, a better way
to different think things. And so early on, my earliest remembrance,
(13:50):
I was eleven years old, going on twelve years old,
and I was doing porch counseling with my neighbor girl
every Friday night, after the lights the street lights came on.
We'd sit on the porch and she'd sit at one
end and I'd sit at the other end, and she'd
tell me about all the problems that she was having
(14:12):
with these guys. Now this is seventh grade and I'm
coming up with these strategies. Well, then a few other
girls start coming and telling me their problems, and I'm
giving them strategies. I'm like, you don't have to put
up with this crap. And this was in seventh grade.
Then when I got into high school, I did the
(14:36):
same thing. And I had more girlfriends than I had
guy friends, and I did things that were kind of
out of the norm. I was the first male cheerleader
in Ohio's high school in nineteen eighty and nineteen seventy
nine and eighty season, I was first male cheerleader. And
(14:57):
the reason why I was a male cheerleader is because
I had a coach because I was a gymnast and
a diver, and he said, if you get on a team,
I'll get your scholarship, but you have to perform. And
he saw me perform, but he said, you got to
be on a dedicated team. I found a coach who
is dating the women's coach, and guess what, he quit
(15:20):
dating her because they broke up and he left and
that changed so I kept saying, there has to be
a better way, and if I could give to somebody
else what had been given to me, then that's what
I wanted to do. And early on when I was
in the second grade, I'm kind of going all over
the place just so if you don't know, I have
(15:42):
add anyway. So in the second grade I had a
principle that saw my abundant energy. And thank god my
mom could not afford medication. I would have been on riddling.
I would have been just messed up. He saw my energy,
he said, get him a two year membership. It's on me,
(16:02):
and enroll him in everything. And in doing that, the
diving instructor was Debbie Thornton. Her husband was a gymnastics instructor,
and they took me under their wing. They couldn't have children,
and they took me under their wing, and they spent
hours after the normal sessions and worked with me individually
(16:26):
and all my life. That's the kind of person that
I wanted to emulate. I wanted to be a giver
back to people, so I will always give more than
I ask for. I come in like a sponge so
that I can ring it out on someone else. And
the good stuff, not the bad stuff. So that's been,
(16:47):
you know, the growth through my life. And I've always
been a defender because I was picked on, I was
beat up. Long story showed. I had a psychotic teacher
in the fourth grade and I'm a little kid, and
the first two days of school, she says, I want
to put a bell around your neck so that I
know where you're going. And I'm like, that's just a
(17:09):
mean thing to do. This woman was crazy, so she
put me in a refrigerator box. She isolated me and
all of these this whole year. My mom never knew
because I was I didn't want to share that with
my mom. Here again, that's the protecting of someone else,
innate in my body. So I became a protector of
(17:31):
other people. And as I have grown now I've watched
from early age pain in the lives of people, and
I go, there's got to be a better way. So
as a postural specialist, I bring that full circle to
you know, I do coaching. I consider myself a very
(17:53):
good coach. I read people, I understand, I read between
the lines, and I know I'm in a room with
a thousand other coaches, but I know that I'm in
the room with a less percentage of people who focus
on postural alignment. Now, when we can bring that together
(18:14):
and I go that your body is connected to your brain,
and as a brain health coach, now I understand, as
I understand a little bit of the anatomy of the body,
I know how to get people out of pain. And
there's just there's a systematic way to do that. When
you understand that your brain stem runs along your spine,
and if your brain stem is impinged in any way
(18:38):
because your spine is impinged, it's not in the proper position.
It's not in the S curve like it was designed. Now,
your brain can't operate. When your brain can't operate to
its full capacity, you can't become the ultimate person that
you were designed to be because there's something that's that's
restricting the flow. And so this is what I do.
(19:01):
And that's probably.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
A long.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
The block, but it gives you a kind of a
background of why I do this.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well. It's really interesting because a lot of people I
ask the question, share with me your happiest memory as
a child, and they will tell me something and I
can see the correlation between what they do now and
that memory. But you've just explained it all to me
that you're very aware of that whole journey that you've
been on to get to the place where you are
at the moment, and it's full understanding that you know
(19:32):
because you have this diagnosis of adhd add and you
know the same but different and having an awareness of
how that operates within you, and then you can see
how the mind and the body and the soul and
the spiritual side of life it's holistically part and parstl
(19:53):
of your health and how you are healthy. And if
you don't have your health, everything else just kind of
falls down. And then you add into that the protector.
You add into that the person that's curious. You add
into that the person that accepts a challenge. You add
into that the phrase that you've used about ten times
already that I love we need a T shirt this Stanley.
There has to be a better way. I love it,
(20:15):
absolutely love it. And put all of that in the mix.
And this person that you see before you is the
real deal, is the person that wants to help you
because you're in pain or you're suffering, and you can
find a way. And no matter who you are, there's
you're a challenge. Okay, I can get this sorted. I
will make your life easier and better. So I think
(20:36):
it's beautiful that your journey it sounds like it's been
pretty tough along the years. I mean everyone's had different
experiences of life, and everyone's got the tough times and
they're not so tough times. But you know, to experience
violence at such a young age, to experience not being
with the person that you want to be with a
certain age, and meeting your dad, as you were telling
(20:58):
me earlier when you were eighteen, all of these things
are like the jigsaw, aren't they. They're like this, this
woven tapestry of who you are and the person that
we see before us now as a grown up, knowing
what you know, Now, how do you feel about this
teacher who obviously had a few issues that wanted to
(21:20):
put a bell around your neck and put you in
a box. And I mean you could say what was
her teaching style? But I think it was just bully,
I think officially.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
But how do you feel about her now? If you
let that go?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oh, I've let it go, and I have to thank
her for the abuse that she instilled. Now, this same
crazy woman had six boys beat me up every single
day after school, I went to two years of therapy
grade and sixth grade. But okay, so you can look
(21:56):
at it as as as an abuse, but it was
actually became the catalyst for me to refine who I
would become and who I was becoming. And you know,
you say, I'm an adult now, and I have to
pause and think about that, am I? I don't you know?
(22:19):
When I was growing up and I'm continuing to grow up,
I never carried a sack lunch. And the reason that
I didn't carry a sack lunch is because I've watched
these old men hunched over with a paper bag, and
I said, I never wanted to be like that. So
that was my motivator. Yeah, it was my motivator because
(22:40):
I love why are they bent over? Why are they
crippled up? Why are they in pain? Why are they
that way? And you know they carry a sack lunch.
So this picture, this image, it was a fear. I
never carried a sack lunch. I didn't carry lunch in
because it bothered me because it was a stigma behind that.
(23:03):
And so when I when I when I talk about
missus Byerley and the abuse that she incured on me.
I said it would never happened on my watch. So
I became I didn't become a helicopter parent, but my
presence was known in the school. Yeah, I carry a
(23:28):
strong presence. And let me give you a quick story.
When my son went to the first grade, he had
a teacher and her name was Missus Perry, and she's
a Christian woman. She went to church and she knew,
she knew what she thought, she knew her Bible. And
my son's name is Thattius Cross. So Thattius is the
(23:51):
saint I was raised Catholic, the saint that watches over children.
Long story short. When we buried my first son, my
mom got us a medallion and it was saying Thaddeus.
So I wanted to correlate this the son that died,
and my my second son and so. But I always
called him Cross. Now, my middle name is Cross. I
(24:13):
was named after after a diver who took my dad
under his wing. Long story, but that's the name of it.
So I said his name he would be called Cross
because I didn't want it shortened. And I didn't want
him called tad or fat or whatever. Okay, Now, he
goes by Thattius. But anyway, the teacher calls his name
(24:33):
and says, Thatius Dietrich. And she said that's an unusual name.
Where did you get your name? And he said, well,
that was one of Jesus's disciples and she said, no,
it wasn't and he said, yes it was, and she said, no,
Jesus didn't have a disciple named Thaddeus. So my son
(24:56):
gets off the bus. Now he's gone through the whole day.
This is the first week of school. He's gone through
the whole day, and he's been told something different than
what his dad told him. And he gets off the
bus and he's got his arms crossed, and he's walking
off the bus and he's got his eyebrows froud and
and I said, what's the matter about it? He goes,
you lied to me?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Oh, oh wow.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
How did I lie to you? And he said Jesus
didn't have a disciple named Thaddeus. And I go, oh, really,
I said, and who told you that that? And he said,
Missus Perry. And I said, I'll tell you what. Here's
what we're going to do. We're going to go in
and get your little New Testament and we're going to
take a look at it, all right, because hey, you
(25:43):
know I might be wrong. Yeah, opened it up and
I said, I want you to look here. What does
this say about the sun? And I highlighted it in
yellow highlight and I said, now, I want you to
put the little mark here, and I want you to
take this to school tomorrow and I want you to
(26:03):
show missus Perry. Okay, And then all of a sudden
he changed. Now, this is what happens in people's lives.
So they've been told they've been diagnosed with something, they've
been told that they that they have a calamity. That
this is the only way that things that you thought
aren't real because I'm not the one telling you. And
(26:24):
I say, let's challenge the narrative. If I'm wrong, I'll
admit it. If I'm right, I don't want you to
eat crow. But okay, I'm that defender. So that was
the first week. So at the end of the week,
we have this parent teacher meet meet the teacher, right,
and I walked in. I got a big smile on
(26:45):
my face and I said, so. She says, oh, mister Dietrich,
and I said, yes, Missus Perry, I said, I don't
think we need to go over the disciple issue, do
we That's been resolved. And she got this like red
mile on our face. And I said, now that that's
behind us and then we can go on. And we
became really good friends. But I made my presence known.
(27:09):
And this is what I do with other people. I
become that defender when I have a client that comes
to me and says, you know, the doctor told me
that I've got this, And I said, well, do you
believe it?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
That's a really good question. That is a really good question.
The power of the mind is incredible.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Is absolutely powerful. So you know, if what we believe
is somebody else's lie, then we're missing the abundance of life.
And all I want to do is like be a
light in a dark room, because let's say this. We're
(27:48):
in a dark room and we start to sweep our
hands together and we try to collect all the darkness,
but we're in this dark room. We get nowhere. But
this is what people do constantly every single day, And
they do this in mindset and they do this in
their body, and they're constantly in this dark room and
they're trying to sweep up rather than turn the light
(28:10):
on and look at things a little bit different. I
want to be that light in the room that says, hey,
let's just shine a little bit of light on this.
Let's take a look at this from a different angle,
and let's see if your body moves a little bit differently.
But I can't do this, but if you could do it,
let's just let's give it an option. Okay. And I
don't put people in pain, but I help them get
(28:32):
out of it and physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, all of
these ways. And so.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I love the fact that you look at all the
different areas where the pain could be. One of my
old clients is a Mayo fashion release specialist. That was
the first time I learned about the skin and the
myofacia underneath it. But also the fact that you might
have a problem in one area and it manifests in
another area or vice versa. And it's how they kind
(29:04):
of start to work on you know, just by touch
touch alone. It's just incredible to go. So as an example,
I had was in an almost car crash. I was
asleep in the car, my husband was driving. Somebody cut
across us on a motorway. So going from seventy miles
an hour down to zero. We had that much between
the car in front of us as we stopped. So
(29:25):
as I'm sleeping with the seat reclined, I was like
pushed up to the nose to the windscreen that far away.
I didn't hit the windscreen, but the seat belt did
its job. So I'm walking around like this for like
two days, going, oh, this is awful. So she said,
come in and see me, and she started off there, Oh, no,
it's not there.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Then it was no, it's not there, then it.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Was no, it's not then oh, there we go just
by touching, no manipulation, nothing, just by touching. And then
one bit got better that she manipulated, not manipulated, but
she just sort of massaged it. Then the next bit
got better, and as she's doing it, she's can you
feel the different friends? Can you feel when it moves?
And you could, you could.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Just as it went.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I'm telling you, you know, I'm telling the listeners because
it's just that for me, it was an amazing thing
I hadn't experienced before. And then she got to the
whiplash in my neck and she said, oh, you might
need two or three sessions. I thought, well, that was expected,
I realized. But when I left her office, I was fine,
and I was fine forever. After I went back the
following week, she checked everything, sherid, no, you're good. Off
you go, and it was gone. And I never expected
(30:28):
it because the amount of pain that I had been in.
But what she was also checking for while she was
talking to me was how are you doing? You know,
how's life? What's going on? So it was also what's
going on up here? And had that created the tension
that was actually holding onto the pain, because sometimes we
have so much trauma in our lives that that gets
(30:49):
held in a little box somewhere tiny that you don't
always see. Day by day, you get over it, and
you get used to it, and you get used to
that feeling of this burden that you're carrying, and you
think that's normal. And to have someone like you to
be able to unpack that box and let it loose
and find that freedom and let you go.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Oh, it's off my shoulders.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
And then as a consequence, that pain that had been
there for days or weeks or months or years is
allowed to evaporate. I think it's a fascinating exploration, and
I think you were saying this earlier as well. You're
a deep diver of knowledge and that goes with the
(31:30):
people that you're talking to as well.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You want to find out about them.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
You're just constantly trying to pull this invisible cord to
find out if there's a connection, if there's upset in there,
or whatever it happens to be. Tell us the story
that you told me the other day about the lady
that had implants in her shoes and why she had that.
When she was a child, she'd been told by a
(31:58):
chiropractice she had one leg longer than that.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes. So I'm working with a lady
that is sixty years old and she and she is
a coach, so she helps people get out of these
these dilemmas. Right, So for forty seven years she's had
a wedge in her shoe and they told her that
one leg was longer than the other. So from the
time she was thirteen until sixty she's had a wedge
(32:23):
in her shoe. And when I met with her, I said,
you know, I've heard this before. Now I'm not I
haven't looked at X rays or anything like that, but
there's there's a very minimal percentage of people in the
world that are born that way, with one bone shorter
than the other. It happens, but it's not normal. And
(32:47):
I said, what if it was just a misalignment. And
I said, what I'm going to let you do is
I'm going to let you keep the wedge in your shoe,
but then I'm going to ask you to take it out.
And she was scared, and she was reluctant to do so,
and I asked her again our next session. I said,
have you taken the wedge out? No? No, I said,
(33:09):
I'm not going to hurt you. I said, let me
ask you a question. So now we go, we break away.
And this is not just my knowledge. I go, when
you go to the beach and you're walking on the sand,
do you have a wedge underneath your shoe, underneath your foot? Well? No,
I said, do you walk around the house barefoot? Do
you get in the shower? Do you walk around the
house barefoot all the time? I said, do you have
(33:29):
a wedge attached to your foot?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Are you having pain when you're doing that? No? But
one leg's longer than the other. I just know it.
And I said, let's take it out. Trust me, if
you get in pain, then you can send me in
a mad face and you can you know, Okay, I'm
a big boy, I can take that. So five days
(33:55):
later she tells me it's been five days, or two
days afterwards, she said, two days, so far, so good.
You know when people say so far, so good, that's
just we're setting ourself up for failure. You know, so
far so good. You know, how's your day going. It's
going okay, so far to drop, no pun intended. And
(34:18):
five days in she told me, I ran, I did
two sessions on my peloton. I did a five k
run and no pain. And now she goes to this
orthopedic specialist and he's more holistic, and she's been having
(34:40):
knee pain for quite a long time. He said, it's
not in your knee, it's in your hip. And so
she sent me a message she said, it's the same
thing that you said. It was in my hip. My
hip was elevated because that wedge was changing it and
I was enforcing the dysfunction. And if you enforce the dysfunction,
(35:00):
you're going to continue to have the dysfunction. And so
what happens with with with I'm going to say Western
medicine is that there's there's three protocols. First, you go in.
Let's say you have an emergency. You go in and
they do an overall view. If you're not in, you know,
(35:23):
on in an accident like yourself, they look you over.
They they take a look at the pain and what
did they do? Then they gave you a little bottle
to suppress the language of the body that says, hey,
something needs to be addressed, something needs to be adjusted.
(35:45):
But no, you get a little pill in a bottle
and it says, I'm going to put a mask. I'm
going to put tape over the pain so it can't
be vocal. And now what happens is you create more
dam image and long term, when you can't hear the
(36:05):
baby crying, you can't feed the baby crying. And then
if you don't feed the baby, something goes wrong. And
you know when you were talking about touch and how
my fascial touch, imagine this is the human desire to
be touched. You don't touch a baby when the baby
(36:26):
is born, yeah, the baby will die and it just
shuts down. And it's the same way with our body,
and our body is saying, hey, something's wrong. I need attention.
Don't shut me up. I'm trying to tell you something.
(36:47):
There's flow that's not being given. When our spine is
jacked up, our brain doesn't get the energy, doesn't get
the flow that it needs because there's two vertebrae that
have holes in them, and there's two art or is
it go through those two vertebrates and they feed the
brain the blood. Now, the brain is the CEO of
our body. So when you're talking about the way that
(37:09):
I do my postural therapy, is that I am asking,
Like my sessions last longer than the one hour, so
I always have like an hour and a half and
sometimes I have to say, hey, I got to go.
I got another one following this from.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Back to back.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
But I'm asking about how you're doing. I'm asking about
how is your water intake. I'm asking about what is
the temperature like? And tell me about something fun before
we get into our session. Tell me about something that
has inspired you or if something has been a challenge,
what is that. Because I know that if the body
(37:47):
is producing more cortisol, the pain is going to be
right up here. There's going to be a tightness that
takes place in the body because it's operating from the brain.
So my mind is not right, my body's not going
to be right. My body's not right. Then it can't
operate right, and then it gets punched up and crunched over,
and then it gets sedentary, and then one day turns
(38:10):
into one week, and that turns into a year, and
that turns into a decade very quickly. So I just
I'm eighteen years old with forty three years experience, and
I look at it like that, and I never want
to grow up. I always want to be agile. I
want to be young. I want to be vibrant. I
want to be able to do things with my granddaughters,
(38:32):
you know. I spin them around, I barrel, roll on
the floor with them, do these things. And that's why
everybody has the opportunity. And anyone listening right now, I
want to say this. If you think that your body
is in the condition that it is in and it's
not the way you want it, and you want to change,
(38:53):
then challenge the narrative that you've been telling, because when
you change your story, you change your life.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Well exactly, exactly again, another little T shirt to be
made there when you change your story you change your life.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
That is so true.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I give you an example of Western medicine not working properly.
My daughter recently had a baby and to have the baby,
because it was breached, she had to have an epidural
to have a cesarean. The epidural created a spinal leak,
which gave her massive, massive headaches. So it's quite scary
(39:30):
for one. The cure for a spinal leak, according to
the medical profession in the UK, is to have Oh.
One way is you can line you back for ten
days and hopefully it gets better. It might do probably,
or we could do it straight away, but it means
another epidural which could also cause another leak in order
(39:51):
to fix the league that's already there, which doesn't sound
very sound. So she went for the live flat on
your back for ten days. So they gave us some
painkillers to deal with pain of the headache whilst the
spine was healing. Knowing that the problem was created by
an epidural when she had a baby, so nobody told
her this, but she read the instructions on the leaflet
(40:14):
and it said do not take more breastfeeding. And it's like,
how many people wouldn't have had the foresight. They've been
given medication by a professional, you're just going to take it.
So she was brave enough to go, all right, I'm
going to lay down flat. I hope I don't get
the headache so much. I mean she still got it
for a few more days, but she didn't take those tablets.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Because there's this tiny baby, as you say, needs to
be touched, needs to be hugged, and needs to be fed.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
And we have been indoctrinated, conditioned, whatever word you want
to use into seeing the men in white coats as
being the experts. They know everything, but they only know
so much. They've only done so much study, and they've
only done so much studying in certain areas. They have
specialized in certain areas. But until you consider the whole
(41:02):
being in front of you, I mean, you know, they
don't consider many other alternative.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Therapists, do they?
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Why is it not allowed that we can talk about acupuncture,
which is a science. It's not wo wo Why can't
we talk about some of the other things that you
know can go on or even suggest that there are
other alternatives, Like the BBC in the UK, they say, oh,
you're talking about Tesco's supermarket. They'll then say other supermarkets
are available because they have to be seen as not
(41:32):
being favoring one supermarket. So this is a phrase that
we have in the UK, you know, so other remedies
are available. You do not have to take what your
doctor says as the be all and end all. Just
because they're wearing a white coat doesn't mean to say
they're God. And it's up to us as individuals to
take responsibility. So we had one lady on a podcast
(41:55):
you can look back and see the other issue episodes,
nic let Rishare, and she talks about not having just
one doctor to look after you. You've got a team
of health specialists.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Who are in your you know, who know.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
You, know your history, know what you're about. And a
postural alignment specialist would be part of that team, as
well as a nutritionist as well as somebody who's maybe
a herbalist or all of those different areas that can
complement your good health, providing you're looking after yourself. You
can't expect to use your body and eat process food
(42:31):
and all the other things and then get away with
not struggling, because your gut is part of your brain
and your mindset as well so it's fascinating what you're
doing and how you are automatically. Although you feature on
LinkedIn and in your marketing as this person that can
heal your posture, specialist in posture, but actually you are
(42:54):
the whole deal as well. You look at every single
area to help, not that you're a specialist in every
single area, but you know when something is out of alignment.
That's the whole point, isn't It's about alignment, being in
aligned with the mind, body and spirit.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
That's it, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
What are you going to be doing in five years time?
Speaker 2 (43:12):
Where do you see this business going or where do
you see your your purpose in the future.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
In five years time? Well, I have committed in the
next year to write a book with metally Okay, so
I have a year that I have to start and
it's I'm taking that time because I've made the commitment
to do so. But in five years time, I didn't
(43:41):
know that I'd be where I'm at five years ago. Yeah,
And it's a constant evolution. So being on stage is
more bringing this message of awareness more and bringing a
collaboration a team. I work well as an individual, but
(44:02):
as a team because I need a team. It takes
a village. And you've said this many times, and it is.
It is having that non scarcity mindset with other collaborators,
not being afraid that someone else knows more, because I
want to be, like I said, I want to be
the ignorant one in the room. I want to be
the idiot because I want to I want to know
(44:24):
that I don't know and I want to learn something
because just this much more information can enhance what I
have to make it one hundredfold bigger. I just need
that link and and maybe I'm the link for somebody else.
And as we look at the body as a unit
(44:44):
with many parts, this is this is what I see
collaboration global. It is a body of people with many
parts and organisms. Because this organism is bringing life to
this one, it cannot it cannot survive on its own.
It is dependent and codependent on the others. So it
(45:09):
has its unique and individual give, but it cannot complete
without other people. And that's that's the beauty of what
I see collaboration global. And you know your energy bringing
this forward in the beginning. You're the representative, and you
know you talk about this being the top down and
(45:30):
it shows and your organization has shown that it supports
what you your values are, and that's where the difference is.
So you can have all these fancy things on your wall,
all these vision statements and all these mission statements and
all these these these value statements, if you don't really
(45:52):
adhere to them, they're meaningless. They're just colloquials. So when
I look at the body, I look at it as
a unit and a body of people and the body
of the human body. So I can't separate your shoulder
from your hip because they're connected and there's a true correlation.
And one of my clients was a chiropractor for twenty years.
(46:16):
Her husband was a chiropractor for twenty years. She felt
she had a frozen shoulder for six months. This was
at the beginning of COVID. She calls me and she says, hey,
I just want to know what is it that you do,
because you know, I can't be in person with my
clients and this is all She's in New York. I'm
in Indiana, and so I'm on the phone with her
(46:36):
and I said, do you have anything that's going on?
She says, stand, I'm a chiropractor. Okay, my husband's a
chiropractor doing this for twenty years, there's probably not anything.
And I said, I didn't ask that. I asked, do
you have anything that's going on, because i'd like to
show you. She said, well, I fell on my but
(46:57):
and I got a frozen shoulder and I can't move.
It's painful to move the mouse. She said, I haven't
been able to reach in the refrigerator. I said, okay, perfect.
Now I'm on the phone with her not even looking
at her body, and normally I don't do anything without
looking at her body. But she's a chiropractor. She knows
muscle names that I don't. You know, I don't really
care to know all these names. So anyway, I have
(47:19):
her do a few exercises and I won't tell what
they are, but I had her do a few exercises. Now,
I said, I said, now, raise your arm up to
your side, because I had her do that before. She
couldn't raise it up. She was not even forty five
degrees and she was at a pain level eight. Now
(47:42):
raise your arm up. She brought her arm all the
way up to her ear, and she said, how the
hell did you do that?
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
Secret and this she sent me I got eight clients
out of that because one shared there. It's in another show,
The Experienced another all from that one, and I had
I had a lady that reached out to me, and
I'll be real short about this. She called me and
she wanted she wanted a reference, and I'm like, okay,
(48:13):
I'll give a reference. So I sent a reference and
she said, no, you said you worked with a chiropractor.
I want to. I want to that chiropractice reference and
I want it on her official.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Oh my goodness letter.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
Okay the letter head.
Speaker 1 (48:26):
Yeah, I called.
Speaker 3 (48:27):
I called this chiropractor up and I said, hey, Robin,
she wants a letter from you. And she says, stand,
you got a pH d in results. Do you really
want to work with this point? Yeah, I'll do it.
I'll send it, But do you really want to? She said,
(48:47):
your results speak for themselves. I'll send it. So she
sent it. And but that's the idea it is. It
is we get indoctrinated into believing that it's in a pill,
that it's in a night, that it's behind a white coat.
And the more holistic doctors that I find myself in
(49:09):
the proximity of they are coming out of the system,
and they're saying there has got to be a better way.
It's been what I've been saying since I was eight
years old. There's got to be a better way. And
if if with all the technology that we have, why
aren't more people getting better? Because we don't have a
healthcare system, we have a keep them sick care system.
(49:30):
Oh yeah, this is the thing, just like your daughter,
you know, And I am so thankful to hear that
she made the choices that she made and she wasn't pressured,
and she didn't feel guilty for making that decision, and
she had the support of a family around her. And
(49:53):
you know, the desire to want to go through that
tough time to hold that baby outweighed the desire to
get out of that pain that possibly could happen under
the knife. And you know, so our temporary inconvenience has
become our ultimate platforms and our ultimate opportunities. As you said,
(50:19):
you know, Collaboration Global was a dream in twenty twelve,
and it didn't really take root until twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen.
And now, through that hardship, the labor of love, you've
brought a group of people that says, how can I
help other people and that's the beauty of what we do.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
And exactly you've just nailed it, because it's not rocket science,
is it?
Speaker 1 (50:45):
This stuff?
Speaker 2 (50:46):
It's really just so easy. And that's why some people
think there's something wrong with it. It's like, well, what's
the catch, and there is no catch. It's just simply
about helping as many people as you can. Exactly the
same with you. You shouldn't have to prove what you do
when you've got so many people you've already helped. It's like, well, yeah,
these are some examples, but I can help you. So
people need to be able to trust. And that woman
that you were talking about that wanted to proof there
(51:09):
was possibly a tiny part of her that wasn't ready
to be well, right, she was putting obstacles in the way.
So that the mind is a powerful thing. When you're
ready to be well and you believe in what you
are going to choose to do.
Speaker 1 (51:22):
You will be well. It's a given.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
This is a fascinating subject and I'm so excited that
in September you're going to be one of our speakers
at the next guest meeting Collaboration Global. So if anybody
would like to see Stanley in action, then come along
to that next meeting. You can find book yourself a
place at Collaboration Global dot org the website and it
says book a seat on the very front page. Or
(51:45):
you can go to Eventwright and find Collaboration Global there
and come to any of them as our guests.
Speaker 1 (51:51):
You're more than welcome. But Stanley, if somebody is in
pain right.
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Now or it's just interested to meet you and see
how they might be able to collaborate, what's the easiest
way of getting in touch with you.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
They can go to my website which is www dot
three sixty Life Without Limits, and you know they can
book a virtual coffee. It is a complimentary call. There's
no credit card asked for, there's no obligation. I'm not
going to sell them something they don't need. I won't
take a client if I don't think that I can
(52:21):
help them. And there's very few people that I haven't
been able to help. I mean very few. I can
count them on one hand out of hundreds that I
haven't been able to help, and it is I wasn't
able to help them personally, but I was able to
guide them and direct them into and I do research.
This is this is where I do these deep dives.
(52:43):
Is that somebody tells me that they've got oslator good disease,
and I go, okay, what is oshlator good disease? I
find out it's just a calcification. This is what the
doctors call it, Oslator's good disease. Right, So some doctor
gets to name a disease after himself. Cation on the
knee because of the tightness in the thigh tightens the
muscles and keeps the knee from flexing and extending. But
(53:08):
we put these fancy names on it. I will help you,
and I will guide you to the right practitioner or
the right functional medicine guy or the therapist, whatever it is.
I will be your cheerleader and your teammate, even just
meeting you one time.
Speaker 2 (53:28):
Beautiful, And presumably they can also connect with you on
LinkedIn if they look out for Stanley Dietrick d I
C T ri c H.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
Yes, thank you so much, Stanley. It's been a joy.
Speaker 2 (53:40):
I've always enjoyed having our conversations, and they go in
so many different directions, but it's good to kind of
know that the trajectory of where you've come from and
what your passion is and what your purpose is and
it fits you to a t. I'm so glad that
we had this conversation today and looking forward to your
talk next month, and obviously if people can't come, it's
always on the YouTube channel as well. Just look for
(54:01):
Collaboration Global. Thank you so much for being our guest today.
Speaker 3 (54:05):
Thank you, thank you for having me. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (54:07):
Season
Hi there. My name is Jiell Tiny.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm from Collaboration Global and this is our podcast, Being
Human Hidden Debts. I'm going to be interviewing some of
our members from Collaboration Global, and they're going.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
To be sharing with you their extraordinary lives. Although they
would probably believe we're just normal.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Everyday, average humans, but they are extraordinary Like you and me.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
We all have our story to tell. We've all been
through difficult.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Times and we've come out at the other end having
learned an extraordinary amount about ourselves that.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
We can share with others.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
So I think you'll find lots of things that will
resonate with where you've been in our.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Journey as world.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I look forward to seeing you on the other side.
Here we go, okay, and welcome to Human Being Hidden Depths,
the podcast by Collecboration Global, where we bring to you,
excuse me, we bring to you our members and special
guests to inspire and ignite you to look at things
(01:10):
from a slightly different way, to check the norm and
put it in a corner and come out with something
totally different.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
As usual.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Stanley and I have started before the Buttons Press record.
So I'm Jill Tiny, and I would like to very
much introduce you to one of Collaboration Global's members, Stanley Ditrick.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Stanley, welcome, and thank you. It's a privilege and an
honor to be here with you.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
She Cotton sucks. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I love listening to your talk and one of the
things that we first came across. Now, I'm going to
park that for a minute. I'll come back to that
in a minute because I know it's going to be
a long story. So I'm just going to ask you
a very short question, whether you can give me a
short answer or not, is anybody's guests.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You're now in Collaboration Global.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
What drew you to this community and why did you
become part of it?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, ultimately I became part of it because of you.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Now, that was the ultimate reason. Because your representation and
your passion is absolutely conveyed and communicated in such a clear,
concise and also attractive way. That was the number one reason.
But it's not just the leader of an organization that
attracts people to stay. It is other people and their mindset,
(02:30):
their attitude, their their willingness to share and to give
and to be transparent that's what makes an organization great.
And I want to say that that you don't have
just an organization. You have an organism. It's a living
it's a living thing that life is continually brought to
the meetings. And when when I come in as an
(02:51):
observer and I watch that, it just makes me want
to stay even longer, Like I don't end the call
at the two hour march you notice you have to
kick me out of the room.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I love it. Yeah, yeah, you want more. You're always
looking for more. I get. And that's this curiosity thing
that's going on with you.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You've got this this I think we were talking about
it earlier, this childlike curiosity.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Of like what else? What else is there?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And that is the beauty of collaboration global, because there
is always going to be more that you know, every
meeting that we have at every different level, whether it's
just the hangout session or whether it's a member's meeting or.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
A guest meeting.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
We could be there all day, this is the thing,
and we restrict it to two hours. And you have
no idea how difficult it is for me to push
that end of meeting button because I know that I
could let it go on all day, and I know
there'll be a lot of people that wouldn't want to leave.
But at the same time, if it went on daily,
probably quite cross with me. So the fact that you
acknowledge and seeing it as an organism, that's the first
(03:51):
word that time that word has been used for us.
I talk about it being organic, I talk about it
being self organizing, but as an organism. That really relates
for me back to to Dr Bruce Lipton who talks
about imaginal cells in a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly,
and then there are cells within that organism that are
(04:11):
different to the rest, that are striving for better, striving
for growth, striving to be that butterfly.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And that is exactly what we are about. So you
just nailed it on the head.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I'm just we are so in tune it scares me sometimes,
but that is just perfect. I have to show you
the video, Bruce Lipton. I'll put a link hopefully to
this podcast as well, so people can go look for
imaginal cells. Dr Bruce Lipton's story. But we're talking about you.
Let's talk about you, Stanley Dietrick. Where about cu based
(04:42):
Obviously the accent is different, so I'm guessing you're not
living in the UK.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Where about cu based?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Say that one more time because it was kind of
breaking up a little bit, and I think it's my internet.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, I said, you're not obviously from the accent, you're
not based in the UK.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Where are you from originally? And else?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I don't have an accent, you don't have.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
A British one.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You don't sound like Dick Van Dyking Marry Poppins, So
you're okay.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I'm located in Indiana in the USA, right middle middle
of the country. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Do you miss the coast?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Am I? Do I miss the coast?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Or yes? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I want to say that obviously, when I was conceived,
I stayed in water for nine months and I've been
trying to find my way back to water since. Yeah,
and I love the ocean. The ocean is that that
serene place. It is the root of who I am.
(05:54):
It is a powerful force that can't be tamed.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And the energy that it gives you.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I'm exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I've always said, if I ever have a problem, I
have to go to the coast, otherwise I can't think clearly,
and then I can get solved in a blink of
an eye. Yeah, So how often do you get to
the coast.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Not very often, honestly, and now probably less often. My
move to Florida a couple of years ago, and so
I had the excuse that I could go. Now he
moved to France and he's got some big waves. But
(06:35):
to go to France, and I will make it, I
will make it part of my normal in the very
near future that I will be frequenting. And because it's
eighteen hours away or sixteen hours away to go to
Myrtle Beach, eastern coast and western coastes or east is
(07:01):
eighteen hours away.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So yeah, so when you come to France, it's only
a hop, skip and a jump to come.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
To West Sussex in the UK most Stefinitely that's a
good plan.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I like that. So let's go back to you in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I always think of a song when I hear that
word in Indiana. Anyway, that's Hollywood. My my other favorite
thing is old Hollywood movies. So there's a I can't.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Remember the film now, Didianna Jones.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Thank you, No, not the Indiana Jones.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
When I'm going back to the fifties, maybe the forties.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
As a song anyway, I digress as usual, as is
my want.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's my podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
You know I can do these kinds of things. What
I was going to say, was before Indiana? Where were
you before them?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Where did you grow up? Was it Indiana?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Uh? No? I met a girl and moved to Indiana.
Long story.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Always the way we follow love everywhere around the world,
don't we.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, work, but I stayed. But I grew up in Ohio.
I was born in California. My mom remarried not wisely
and grew up in Ohio. And I grew up in
a tough way. And I left home when I was
eighteen years old and I was on my own, and
(08:19):
I moved to Wichita, Kansas, and I became an aircraft
mechanic for Boeing. I was a certified welder. My dad
was a deep sea diver underwater welder. He has six
underwater welding patents. And I met him when I was
eighteen years old. So I never knew my dad growing up,
(08:40):
And when I met him, I wanted to be just
like him. And I discovered that I'm more like him
than what I understood. And our proclivities, our attitudes are
the way that we walk across the room the way
that I would order my food. But I'd never been
around my dad. It's amazing. Yeah. So I moved to Wichital, Kansas,
(09:02):
and I worked for Boeing and they hired me as
a welder because I had certifications in all positions, but
they didn't have room, so they asked me to go
into sheet metal mechanic and then aircraft mechanic and I
worked on flight line and then I was part of
a pilot program with Boeing and I became an industrial
(09:22):
engineer without a degree.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Last in six months, I had six or fourteen college
educated people were under me because my experience as a mechanic.
And so this is kind of a little background about
the kind of person that I am, is that I
dive into things and I want to learn more than
(09:46):
what's necessary because I don't know what I'm going to
need in the future. So you know, it's as we
shared earlier, it's like a product that you see and
you go, that's a pretty cool product, but I don't
know when I need it. I just need to re
member and so then I can go back to that product.
And so that's kind of what I did and then
(10:06):
in nineteen ninety I left Boeing and I was going
to go work overseas in Saudi Arabia. And then when
my security clearance was going through, there was this little
thing called the war broke out, and so it eliminated
that position. So what it did was it allowed an
(10:27):
obstacle to become an opportunity part of my life story.
And so long story short. Then a couple of years later,
I met a girl from Indiana and I moved here.
Didn't work out, I stayed and then I got married,
(10:52):
had a couple of kids, got divorced, still have a
couple of kids, and now I got a couple of grandkids.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Well circle, Now that's interesting because I didn't know any
of that about you, about.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Your previous history. Funny enough, we both left home at eighteen.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's interesting how many comparisons you can make in somebody
who you've never met across the world. What I was
going to say, yes, so I didn't know that about
being an industrial engineer. I mean, that's a huge thing
to take on board. And the relationship that you had
with your dad, and how the similarities were so obviously
(11:31):
at the moment you are now on LinkedIn as a
postural alignment specialist, which sounds very fancy. And I've already
experienced the benefits of that when you helped me the
other day with a saw poorly neck. That's a bit
of a hop, skip and a jump from working on
aircraft and in Boeing and in that kind of space.
(11:55):
So tell us that that journey that you kind of
did you get disillusioned with where you were? Was it
just you went from job to job or was there
a point? And this is what I'm really interested in,
there's a point when you get to your purpose and
you realize what you're on this planet to do. Have
you reached that yet or was that part of the
(12:15):
journey to what you're doing today.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It's always been part of the journey. And the reason
that I say it that way is because from a
very very early age, I never called anybody dad growing up,
never called another man dad. I had one dad, and
I didn't know him, and I wasn't going to give
that privilege, which was an an earned privilege to another
(12:39):
human being. Yeah, And so I became a protector of
my mom at a very early age. And when I
say that, my mom did not marry wisely. I want
to say that I was seven years old and I
was taking a plastic baseball bat to a marine that
was beating the hell out of my mom. And now
(13:01):
I know that now he had a lot of issues.
He was in the Vietnam War, He had a lot
of issues, So there was a lot of psychological damage.
So I didn't understand the psychological damage. But what I
did know. What I did know is that that wasn't
the right way to respond. There was something wrong with
that picture. And so early on, I said there had
to be a better way. So whatever it is that
(13:23):
I've done in my life, I've always said there has
to be a better way. And whether it was working,
you know, in school, or whether it was working for Boeing,
I said, there was a better way, you know, there
was a better way to do things, a better way
to different think things. And so early on, my earliest remembrance,
(13:50):
I was eleven years old, going on twelve years old,
and I was doing porch counseling with my neighbor girl
every Friday night, after the lights the street lights came on.
We'd sit on the porch and she'd sit at one
end and I'd sit at the other end, and she'd
tell me about all the problems that she was having
(14:12):
with these guys. Now this is seventh grade and I'm
coming up with these strategies. Well, then a few other
girls start coming and telling me their problems, and I'm
giving them strategies. I'm like, you don't have to put
up with this crap. And this was in seventh grade.
Then when I got into high school, I did the
(14:36):
same thing. And I had more girlfriends than I had
guy friends, and I did things that were kind of
out of the norm. I was the first male cheerleader
in Ohio's high school in nineteen eighty and nineteen seventy
nine and eighty season, I was first male cheerleader. And
(14:57):
the reason why I was a male cheerleader is because
I had a coach because I was a gymnast and
a diver, and he said, if you get on a team,
I'll get your scholarship, but you have to perform. And
he saw me perform, but he said, you got to
be on a dedicated team. I found a coach who
is dating the women's coach, and guess what, he quit
(15:20):
dating her because they broke up and he left and
that changed so I kept saying, there has to be
a better way, and if I could give to somebody
else what had been given to me, then that's what
I wanted to do. And early on when I was
in the second grade, I'm kind of going all over
the place just so if you don't know, I have
(15:42):
add anyway. So in the second grade I had a
principle that saw my abundant energy. And thank god my
mom could not afford medication. I would have been on riddling.
I would have been just messed up. He saw my energy,
he said, get him a two year membership. It's on me,
(16:02):
and enroll him in everything. And in doing that, the
diving instructor was Debbie Thornton. Her husband was a gymnastics instructor,
and they took me under their wing. They couldn't have children,
and they took me under their wing, and they spent
hours after the normal sessions and worked with me individually
(16:26):
and all my life. That's the kind of person that
I wanted to emulate. I wanted to be a giver
back to people, so I will always give more than
I ask for. I come in like a sponge so
that I can ring it out on someone else. And
the good stuff, not the bad stuff. So that's been,
(16:47):
you know, the growth through my life. And I've always
been a defender because I was picked on, I was
beat up. Long story showed. I had a psychotic teacher
in the fourth grade and I'm a little kid, and
the first two days of school, she says, I want
to put a bell around your neck so that I
know where you're going. And I'm like, that's just a
(17:09):
mean thing to do. This woman was crazy, so she
put me in a refrigerator box. She isolated me and
all of these this whole year. My mom never knew
because I was I didn't want to share that with
my mom. Here again, that's the protecting of someone else,
innate in my body. So I became a protector of
(17:31):
other people. And as I have grown now I've watched
from early age pain in the lives of people, and
I go, there's got to be a better way. So
as a postural specialist, I bring that full circle to
you know, I do coaching. I consider myself a very
(17:53):
good coach. I read people, I understand, I read between
the lines, and I know I'm in a room with
a thousand other coaches, but I know that I'm in
the room with a less percentage of people who focus
on postural alignment. Now, when we can bring that together
(18:14):
and I go that your body is connected to your brain,
and as a brain health coach, now I understand, as
I understand a little bit of the anatomy of the body,
I know how to get people out of pain. And
there's just there's a systematic way to do that. When
you understand that your brain stem runs along your spine,
and if your brain stem is impinged in any way
(18:38):
because your spine is impinged, it's not in the proper position.
It's not in the S curve like it was designed. Now,
your brain can't operate. When your brain can't operate to
its full capacity, you can't become the ultimate person that
you were designed to be because there's something that's that's
restricting the flow. And so this is what I do.
(19:01):
And that's probably.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
A long.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
The block, but it gives you a kind of a
background of why I do this.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well. It's really interesting because a lot of people I
ask the question, share with me your happiest memory as
a child, and they will tell me something and I
can see the correlation between what they do now and
that memory. But you've just explained it all to me
that you're very aware of that whole journey that you've
been on to get to the place where you are
at the moment, and it's full understanding that you know
(19:32):
because you have this diagnosis of adhd add and you
know the same but different and having an awareness of
how that operates within you, and then you can see
how the mind and the body and the soul and
the spiritual side of life it's holistically part and parstl
(19:53):
of your health and how you are healthy. And if
you don't have your health, everything else just kind of
falls down. And then you add into that the protector.
You add into that the person that's curious. You add
into that the person that accepts a challenge. You add
into that the phrase that you've used about ten times
already that I love we need a T shirt this Stanley.
There has to be a better way. I love it,
(20:15):
absolutely love it. And put all of that in the mix.
And this person that you see before you is the
real deal, is the person that wants to help you
because you're in pain or you're suffering, and you can
find a way. And no matter who you are, there's
you're a challenge. Okay, I can get this sorted. I
will make your life easier and better. So I think
(20:36):
it's beautiful that your journey it sounds like it's been
pretty tough along the years. I mean everyone's had different
experiences of life, and everyone's got the tough times and
they're not so tough times. But you know, to experience
violence at such a young age, to experience not being
with the person that you want to be with a
certain age, and meeting your dad, as you were telling
(20:58):
me earlier when you were eighteen, all of these things
are like the jigsaw, aren't they. They're like this, this
woven tapestry of who you are and the person that
we see before us now as a grown up, knowing
what you know, Now, how do you feel about this
teacher who obviously had a few issues that wanted to
(21:20):
put a bell around your neck and put you in
a box. And I mean you could say what was
her teaching style? But I think it was just bully,
I think officially.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
But how do you feel about her now? If you
let that go?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oh, I've let it go, and I have to thank
her for the abuse that she instilled. Now, this same
crazy woman had six boys beat me up every single
day after school, I went to two years of therapy
grade and sixth grade. But okay, so you can look
(21:56):
at it as as as an abuse, but it was
actually became the catalyst for me to refine who I
would become and who I was becoming. And you know,
you say, I'm an adult now, and I have to
pause and think about that, am I? I don't you know?
(22:19):
When I was growing up and I'm continuing to grow up,
I never carried a sack lunch. And the reason that
I didn't carry a sack lunch is because I've watched
these old men hunched over with a paper bag, and
I said, I never wanted to be like that. So
that was my motivator. Yeah, it was my motivator because
(22:40):
I love why are they bent over? Why are they
crippled up? Why are they in pain? Why are they
that way? And you know they carry a sack lunch.
So this picture, this image, it was a fear. I
never carried a sack lunch. I didn't carry lunch in
because it bothered me because it was a stigma behind that.
(23:03):
And so when I when I when I talk about
missus Byerley and the abuse that she incured on me.
I said it would never happened on my watch. So
I became I didn't become a helicopter parent, but my
presence was known in the school. Yeah, I carry a
(23:28):
strong presence. And let me give you a quick story.
When my son went to the first grade, he had
a teacher and her name was Missus Perry, and she's
a Christian woman. She went to church and she knew,
she knew what she thought, she knew her Bible. And
my son's name is Thattius Cross. So Thattius is the
(23:51):
saint I was raised Catholic, the saint that watches over children.
Long story short. When we buried my first son, my
mom got us a medallion and it was saying Thaddeus.
So I wanted to correlate this the son that died,
and my my second son and so. But I always
called him Cross. Now, my middle name is Cross. I
(24:13):
was named after after a diver who took my dad
under his wing. Long story, but that's the name of it.
So I said his name he would be called Cross
because I didn't want it shortened. And I didn't want
him called tad or fat or whatever. Okay, Now, he
goes by Thattius. But anyway, the teacher calls his name
(24:33):
and says, Thatius Dietrich. And she said that's an unusual name.
Where did you get your name? And he said, well,
that was one of Jesus's disciples and she said, no,
it wasn't and he said, yes it was, and she said, no,
Jesus didn't have a disciple named Thaddeus. So my son
(24:56):
gets off the bus. Now he's gone through the whole day.
This is the first week of school. He's gone through
the whole day, and he's been told something different than
what his dad told him. And he gets off the
bus and he's got his arms crossed, and he's walking
off the bus and he's got his eyebrows froud and
and I said, what's the matter about it? He goes,
you lied to me?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Oh, oh wow.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
How did I lie to you? And he said Jesus
didn't have a disciple named Thaddeus. And I go, oh, really,
I said, and who told you that that? And he said,
Missus Perry. And I said, I'll tell you what. Here's
what we're going to do. We're going to go in
and get your little New Testament and we're going to
take a look at it, all right, because hey, you
(25:43):
know I might be wrong. Yeah, opened it up and
I said, I want you to look here. What does
this say about the sun? And I highlighted it in
yellow highlight and I said, now, I want you to
put the little mark here, and I want you to
take this to school tomorrow and I want you to
(26:03):
show missus Perry. Okay, And then all of a sudden
he changed. Now, this is what happens in people's lives.
So they've been told they've been diagnosed with something, they've
been told that they that they have a calamity. That
this is the only way that things that you thought
aren't real because I'm not the one telling you. And
(26:24):
I say, let's challenge the narrative. If I'm wrong, I'll
admit it. If I'm right, I don't want you to
eat crow. But okay, I'm that defender. So that was
the first week. So at the end of the week,
we have this parent teacher meet meet the teacher, right,
and I walked in. I got a big smile on
(26:45):
my face and I said, so. She says, oh, mister Dietrich,
and I said, yes, Missus Perry, I said, I don't
think we need to go over the disciple issue, do
we That's been resolved. And she got this like red
mile on our face. And I said, now that that's
behind us and then we can go on. And we
became really good friends. But I made my presence known.
(27:09):
And this is what I do with other people. I
become that defender when I have a client that comes
to me and says, you know, the doctor told me
that I've got this, And I said, well, do you
believe it?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
That's a really good question. That is a really good question.
The power of the mind is incredible.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Is absolutely powerful. So you know, if what we believe
is somebody else's lie, then we're missing the abundance of life.
And all I want to do is like be a
light in a dark room, because let's say this. We're
(27:48):
in a dark room and we start to sweep our
hands together and we try to collect all the darkness,
but we're in this dark room. We get nowhere. But
this is what people do constantly every single day, And
they do this in mindset and they do this in
their body, and they're constantly in this dark room and
they're trying to sweep up rather than turn the light
(28:10):
on and look at things a little bit different. I
want to be that light in the room that says, hey,
let's just shine a little bit of light on this.
Let's take a look at this from a different angle,
and let's see if your body moves a little bit differently.
But I can't do this, but if you could do it,
let's just let's give it an option. Okay. And I
don't put people in pain, but I help them get
(28:32):
out of it and physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, all of
these ways. And so.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I love the fact that you look at all the
different areas where the pain could be. One of my
old clients is a Mayo fashion release specialist. That was
the first time I learned about the skin and the
myofacia underneath it. But also the fact that you might
have a problem in one area and it manifests in
another area or vice versa. And it's how they kind
(29:04):
of start to work on you know, just by touch
touch alone. It's just incredible to go. So as an example,
I had was in an almost car crash. I was
asleep in the car, my husband was driving. Somebody cut
across us on a motorway. So going from seventy miles
an hour down to zero. We had that much between
the car in front of us as we stopped. So
(29:25):
as I'm sleeping with the seat reclined, I was like
pushed up to the nose to the windscreen that far away.
I didn't hit the windscreen, but the seat belt did
its job. So I'm walking around like this for like
two days, going, oh, this is awful. So she said,
come in and see me, and she started off there, Oh, no,
it's not there.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Then it was no, it's not there, then it.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Was no, it's not then oh, there we go just
by touching, no manipulation, nothing, just by touching. And then
one bit got better that she manipulated, not manipulated, but
she just sort of massaged it. Then the next bit
got better, and as she's doing it, she's can you
feel the different friends? Can you feel when it moves?
And you could, you could.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Just as it went.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I'm telling you, you know, I'm telling the listeners because
it's just that for me, it was an amazing thing
I hadn't experienced before. And then she got to the
whiplash in my neck and she said, oh, you might
need two or three sessions. I thought, well, that was expected,
I realized. But when I left her office, I was fine,
and I was fine forever. After I went back the
following week, she checked everything, sherid, no, you're good. Off
you go, and it was gone. And I never expected
(30:28):
it because the amount of pain that I had been in.
But what she was also checking for while she was
talking to me was how are you doing? You know,
how's life? What's going on? So it was also what's
going on up here? And had that created the tension
that was actually holding onto the pain, because sometimes we
have so much trauma in our lives that that gets
(30:49):
held in a little box somewhere tiny that you don't
always see. Day by day, you get over it, and
you get used to it, and you get used to
that feeling of this burden that you're carrying, and you
think that's normal. And to have someone like you to
be able to unpack that box and let it loose
and find that freedom and let you go.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Oh, it's off my shoulders.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
And then as a consequence, that pain that had been
there for days or weeks or months or years is
allowed to evaporate. I think it's a fascinating exploration, and
I think you were saying this earlier as well. You're
a deep diver of knowledge and that goes with the
(31:30):
people that you're talking to as well.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You want to find out about them.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
You're just constantly trying to pull this invisible cord to
find out if there's a connection, if there's upset in there,
or whatever it happens to be. Tell us the story
that you told me the other day about the lady
that had implants in her shoes and why she had that.
When she was a child, she'd been told by a
(31:58):
chiropractice she had one leg longer than that.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes. So I'm working with a lady
that is sixty years old and she and she is
a coach, so she helps people get out of these
these dilemmas. Right, So for forty seven years she's had
a wedge in her shoe and they told her that
one leg was longer than the other. So from the
time she was thirteen until sixty she's had a wedge
(32:23):
in her shoe. And when I met with her, I said,
you know, I've heard this before. Now I'm not I
haven't looked at X rays or anything like that, but
there's there's a very minimal percentage of people in the
world that are born that way, with one bone shorter
than the other. It happens, but it's not normal. And
(32:47):
I said, what if it was just a misalignment. And
I said, what I'm going to let you do is
I'm going to let you keep the wedge in your shoe,
but then I'm going to ask you to take it out.
And she was scared, and she was reluctant to do so,
and I asked her again our next session. I said,
have you taken the wedge out? No? No, I said,
(33:09):
I'm not going to hurt you. I said, let me
ask you a question. So now we go, we break away.
And this is not just my knowledge. I go, when
you go to the beach and you're walking on the sand,
do you have a wedge underneath your shoe, underneath your foot? Well? No,
I said, do you walk around the house barefoot? Do
you get in the shower? Do you walk around the
house barefoot all the time? I said, do you have
(33:29):
a wedge attached to your foot?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Are you having pain when you're doing that? No? But
one leg's longer than the other. I just know it.
And I said, let's take it out. Trust me, if
you get in pain, then you can send me in
a mad face and you can you know, Okay, I'm
a big boy, I can take that. So five days
(33:55):
later she tells me it's been five days, or two
days afterwards, she said, two days, so far, so good.
You know when people say so far, so good, that's
just we're setting ourself up for failure. You know, so
far so good. You know, how's your day going. It's
going okay, so far to drop, no pun intended. And
(34:18):
five days in she told me, I ran, I did
two sessions on my peloton. I did a five k
run and no pain. And now she goes to this
orthopedic specialist and he's more holistic, and she's been having
(34:40):
knee pain for quite a long time. He said, it's
not in your knee, it's in your hip. And so
she sent me a message she said, it's the same
thing that you said. It was in my hip. My
hip was elevated because that wedge was changing it and
I was enforcing the dysfunction. And if you enforce the dysfunction,
(35:00):
you're going to continue to have the dysfunction. And so
what happens with with with I'm going to say Western
medicine is that there's there's three protocols. First, you go in.
Let's say you have an emergency. You go in and
they do an overall view. If you're not in, you know,
(35:23):
on in an accident like yourself, they look you over.
They they take a look at the pain and what
did they do? Then they gave you a little bottle
to suppress the language of the body that says, hey,
something needs to be addressed, something needs to be adjusted.
(35:45):
But no, you get a little pill in a bottle
and it says, I'm going to put a mask. I'm
going to put tape over the pain so it can't
be vocal. And now what happens is you create more
dam image and long term, when you can't hear the
(36:05):
baby crying, you can't feed the baby crying. And then
if you don't feed the baby, something goes wrong. And
you know when you were talking about touch and how
my fascial touch, imagine this is the human desire to
be touched. You don't touch a baby when the baby
(36:26):
is born, yeah, the baby will die and it just
shuts down. And it's the same way with our body,
and our body is saying, hey, something's wrong. I need attention.
Don't shut me up. I'm trying to tell you something.
(36:47):
There's flow that's not being given. When our spine is
jacked up, our brain doesn't get the energy, doesn't get
the flow that it needs because there's two vertebrae that
have holes in them, and there's two art or is
it go through those two vertebrates and they feed the
brain the blood. Now, the brain is the CEO of
our body. So when you're talking about the way that
(37:09):
I do my postural therapy, is that I am asking,
Like my sessions last longer than the one hour, so
I always have like an hour and a half and
sometimes I have to say, hey, I got to go.
I got another one following this from.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Back to back.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
But I'm asking about how you're doing. I'm asking about
how is your water intake. I'm asking about what is
the temperature like? And tell me about something fun before
we get into our session. Tell me about something that
has inspired you or if something has been a challenge,
what is that. Because I know that if the body
(37:47):
is producing more cortisol, the pain is going to be
right up here. There's going to be a tightness that
takes place in the body because it's operating from the brain.
So my mind is not right, my body's not going
to be right. My body's not right. Then it can't
operate right, and then it gets punched up and crunched over,
and then it gets sedentary, and then one day turns
(38:10):
into one week, and that turns into a year, and
that turns into a decade very quickly. So I just
I'm eighteen years old with forty three years experience, and
I look at it like that, and I never want
to grow up. I always want to be agile. I
want to be young. I want to be vibrant. I
want to be able to do things with my granddaughters,
(38:32):
you know. I spin them around, I barrel, roll on
the floor with them, do these things. And that's why
everybody has the opportunity. And anyone listening right now, I
want to say this. If you think that your body
is in the condition that it is in and it's
not the way you want it, and you want to change,
(38:53):
then challenge the narrative that you've been telling, because when
you change your story, you change your life.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Well exactly, exactly again, another little T shirt to be
made there when you change your story you change your life.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
That is so true.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I give you an example of Western medicine not working properly.
My daughter recently had a baby and to have the baby,
because it was breached, she had to have an epidural
to have a cesarean. The epidural created a spinal leak,
which gave her massive, massive headaches. So it's quite scary
(39:30):
for one. The cure for a spinal leak, according to
the medical profession in the UK, is to have Oh.
One way is you can line you back for ten
days and hopefully it gets better. It might do probably,
or we could do it straight away, but it means
another epidural which could also cause another leak in order
(39:51):
to fix the league that's already there, which doesn't sound
very sound. So she went for the live flat on
your back for ten days. So they gave us some
painkillers to deal with pain of the headache whilst the
spine was healing. Knowing that the problem was created by
an epidural when she had a baby, so nobody told
her this, but she read the instructions on the leaflet
(40:14):
and it said do not take more breastfeeding. And it's like,
how many people wouldn't have had the foresight. They've been
given medication by a professional, you're just going to take it.
So she was brave enough to go, all right, I'm
going to lay down flat. I hope I don't get
the headache so much. I mean she still got it
for a few more days, but she didn't take those tablets.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Because there's this tiny baby, as you say, needs to
be touched, needs to be hugged, and needs to be fed.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
And we have been indoctrinated, conditioned, whatever word you want
to use into seeing the men in white coats as
being the experts. They know everything, but they only know
so much. They've only done so much study, and they've
only done so much studying in certain areas. They have
specialized in certain areas. But until you consider the whole
(41:02):
being in front of you, I mean, you know, they
don't consider many other alternative.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Therapists, do they?
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Why is it not allowed that we can talk about acupuncture,
which is a science. It's not wo wo Why can't
we talk about some of the other things that you
know can go on or even suggest that there are
other alternatives, Like the BBC in the UK, they say, oh,
you're talking about Tesco's supermarket. They'll then say other supermarkets
are available because they have to be seen as not
(41:32):
being favoring one supermarket. So this is a phrase that
we have in the UK, you know, so other remedies
are available. You do not have to take what your
doctor says as the be all and end all. Just
because they're wearing a white coat doesn't mean to say
they're God. And it's up to us as individuals to
take responsibility. So we had one lady on a podcast
(41:55):
you can look back and see the other issue episodes,
nic let Rishare, and she talks about not having just
one doctor to look after you. You've got a team
of health specialists.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Who are in your you know, who know.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
You, know your history, know what you're about. And a
postural alignment specialist would be part of that team, as
well as a nutritionist as well as somebody who's maybe
a herbalist or all of those different areas that can
complement your good health, providing you're looking after yourself. You
can't expect to use your body and eat process food
(42:31):
and all the other things and then get away with
not struggling, because your gut is part of your brain
and your mindset as well so it's fascinating what you're
doing and how you are automatically. Although you feature on
LinkedIn and in your marketing as this person that can
heal your posture, specialist in posture, but actually you are
(42:54):
the whole deal as well. You look at every single
area to help, not that you're a specialist in every
single area, but you know when something is out of alignment.
That's the whole point, isn't It's about alignment, being in
aligned with the mind, body and spirit.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
That's it, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
What are you going to be doing in five years time?
Speaker 2 (43:12):
Where do you see this business going or where do
you see your your purpose in the future.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
In five years time? Well, I have committed in the
next year to write a book with metally Okay, so
I have a year that I have to start and
it's I'm taking that time because I've made the commitment
to do so. But in five years time, I didn't
(43:41):
know that I'd be where I'm at five years ago. Yeah,
And it's a constant evolution. So being on stage is
more bringing this message of awareness more and bringing a
collaboration a team. I work well as an individual, but
(44:02):
as a team because I need a team. It takes
a village. And you've said this many times, and it is.
It is having that non scarcity mindset with other collaborators,
not being afraid that someone else knows more, because I
want to be, like I said, I want to be
the ignorant one in the room. I want to be
the idiot because I want to I want to know
(44:24):
that I don't know and I want to learn something
because just this much more information can enhance what I
have to make it one hundredfold bigger. I just need
that link and and maybe I'm the link for somebody else.
And as we look at the body as a unit
(44:44):
with many parts, this is this is what I see
collaboration global. It is a body of people with many
parts and organisms. Because this organism is bringing life to
this one, it cannot it cannot survive on its own.
It is dependent and codependent on the others. So it
(45:09):
has its unique and individual give, but it cannot complete
without other people. And that's that's the beauty of what
I see collaboration global. And you know your energy bringing
this forward in the beginning. You're the representative, and you
know you talk about this being the top down and
(45:30):
it shows and your organization has shown that it supports
what you your values are, and that's where the difference is.
So you can have all these fancy things on your wall,
all these vision statements and all these mission statements and
all these these these value statements, if you don't really
(45:52):
adhere to them, they're meaningless. They're just colloquials. So when
I look at the body, I look at it as
a unit and a body of people and the body
of the human body. So I can't separate your shoulder
from your hip because they're connected and there's a true correlation.
And one of my clients was a chiropractor for twenty years.
(46:16):
Her husband was a chiropractor for twenty years. She felt
she had a frozen shoulder for six months. This was
at the beginning of COVID. She calls me and she says, hey,
I just want to know what is it that you do,
because you know, I can't be in person with my
clients and this is all She's in New York. I'm
in Indiana, and so I'm on the phone with her
(46:36):
and I said, do you have anything that's going on?
She says, stand, I'm a chiropractor. Okay, my husband's a
chiropractor doing this for twenty years, there's probably not anything.
And I said, I didn't ask that. I asked, do
you have anything that's going on, because i'd like to
show you. She said, well, I fell on my but
(46:57):
and I got a frozen shoulder and I can't move.
It's painful to move the mouse. She said, I haven't
been able to reach in the refrigerator. I said, okay, perfect.
Now I'm on the phone with her not even looking
at her body, and normally I don't do anything without
looking at her body. But she's a chiropractor. She knows
muscle names that I don't. You know, I don't really
care to know all these names. So anyway, I have
(47:19):
her do a few exercises and I won't tell what
they are, but I had her do a few exercises. Now,
I said, I said, now, raise your arm up to
your side, because I had her do that before. She
couldn't raise it up. She was not even forty five
degrees and she was at a pain level eight. Now
(47:42):
raise your arm up. She brought her arm all the
way up to her ear, and she said, how the
hell did you do that?
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
Secret and this she sent me I got eight clients
out of that because one shared there. It's in another show,
The Experienced another all from that one, and I had
I had a lady that reached out to me, and
I'll be real short about this. She called me and
she wanted she wanted a reference, and I'm like, okay,
(48:13):
I'll give a reference. So I sent a reference and
she said, no, you said you worked with a chiropractor.
I want to. I want to that chiropractice reference and
I want it on her official.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Oh my goodness letter.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
Okay the letter head.
Speaker 1 (48:26):
Yeah, I called.
Speaker 3 (48:27):
I called this chiropractor up and I said, hey, Robin,
she wants a letter from you. And she says, stand,
you got a pH d in results. Do you really
want to work with this point? Yeah, I'll do it.
I'll send it, But do you really want to? She said,
(48:47):
your results speak for themselves. I'll send it. So she
sent it. And but that's the idea it is. It
is we get indoctrinated into believing that it's in a pill,
that it's in a night, that it's behind a white coat.
And the more holistic doctors that I find myself in
(49:09):
the proximity of they are coming out of the system,
and they're saying there has got to be a better way.
It's been what I've been saying since I was eight
years old. There's got to be a better way. And
if if with all the technology that we have, why
aren't more people getting better? Because we don't have a
healthcare system, we have a keep them sick care system.
(49:30):
Oh yeah, this is the thing, just like your daughter,
you know, And I am so thankful to hear that
she made the choices that she made and she wasn't pressured,
and she didn't feel guilty for making that decision, and
she had the support of a family around her. And
(49:53):
you know, the desire to want to go through that
tough time to hold that baby outweighed the desire to
get out of that pain that possibly could happen under
the knife. And you know, so our temporary inconvenience has
become our ultimate platforms and our ultimate opportunities. As you said,
(50:19):
you know, Collaboration Global was a dream in twenty twelve,
and it didn't really take root until twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen.
And now, through that hardship, the labor of love, you've
brought a group of people that says, how can I
help other people and that's the beauty of what we do.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
And exactly you've just nailed it, because it's not rocket science,
is it?
Speaker 1 (50:45):
This stuff?
Speaker 2 (50:46):
It's really just so easy. And that's why some people
think there's something wrong with it. It's like, well, what's
the catch, and there is no catch. It's just simply
about helping as many people as you can. Exactly the
same with you. You shouldn't have to prove what you do
when you've got so many people you've already helped. It's like, well, yeah,
these are some examples, but I can help you. So
people need to be able to trust. And that woman
that you were talking about that wanted to proof there
(51:09):
was possibly a tiny part of her that wasn't ready
to be well, right, she was putting obstacles in the way.
So that the mind is a powerful thing. When you're
ready to be well and you believe in what you
are going to choose to do.
Speaker 1 (51:22):
You will be well. It's a given.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
This is a fascinating subject and I'm so excited that
in September you're going to be one of our speakers
at the next guest meeting Collaboration Global. So if anybody
would like to see Stanley in action, then come along
to that next meeting. You can find book yourself a
place at Collaboration Global dot org the website and it
says book a seat on the very front page. Or
(51:45):
you can go to Eventwright and find Collaboration Global there
and come to any of them as our guests.
Speaker 1 (51:51):
You're more than welcome. But Stanley, if somebody is in
pain right.
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Now or it's just interested to meet you and see
how they might be able to collaborate, what's the easiest
way of getting in touch with you.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
They can go to my website which is www dot
three sixty Life Without Limits, and you know they can
book a virtual coffee. It is a complimentary call. There's
no credit card asked for, there's no obligation. I'm not
going to sell them something they don't need. I won't
take a client if I don't think that I can
(52:21):
help them. And there's very few people that I haven't
been able to help. I mean very few. I can
count them on one hand out of hundreds that I
haven't been able to help, and it is I wasn't
able to help them personally, but I was able to
guide them and direct them into and I do research.
This is this is where I do these deep dives.
(52:43):
Is that somebody tells me that they've got oslator good disease,
and I go, okay, what is oshlator good disease? I
find out it's just a calcification. This is what the
doctors call it, Oslator's good disease. Right, So some doctor
gets to name a disease after himself. Cation on the
knee because of the tightness in the thigh tightens the
muscles and keeps the knee from flexing and extending. But
(53:08):
we put these fancy names on it. I will help you,
and I will guide you to the right practitioner or
the right functional medicine guy or the therapist, whatever it is.
I will be your cheerleader and your teammate, even just
meeting you one time.
Speaker 2 (53:28):
Beautiful, And presumably they can also connect with you on
LinkedIn if they look out for Stanley Dietrick d I
C T ri c H.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
Yes, thank you so much, Stanley. It's been a joy.
Speaker 2 (53:40):
I've always enjoyed having our conversations, and they go in
so many different directions, but it's good to kind of
know that the trajectory of where you've come from and
what your passion is and what your purpose is and
it fits you to a t. I'm so glad that
we had this conversation today and looking forward to your
talk next month, and obviously if people can't come, it's
always on the YouTube channel as well. Just look for
(54:01):
Collaboration Global. Thank you so much for being our guest today.
Speaker 3 (54:05):
Thank you, thank you for having me. I appreciate it.
