Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're in a good place now. You are listening to
Perspectives with Ashley Burgess.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Welcome back live to Literature Life Perspectives, and I'm your host,
Ashley Burgess.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
On today's show.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Are we talking about some really deep thoughts and some
things that are very important not only.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
As an adult but also as a child.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
A lot of times we don't think about mindfulness or
limiting beliefs or negative self image, and I know as
an adult many of us are dealing with it. We're
dealing with it on a constant basis, trying to overcome
some of these self sabotaging beliefs or these thoughts that
we have that are limiting our life and wouldn't have
been great if we could have had some of that
knowledge and education and help as a child. And I've
(00:47):
talked about that many times, you know, if we could
have had some of those intrinsic you know, values and
thoughts helping us out as a child, or even maybe
some meditation or some mindfulness. And so joining me today
it's a I have children's author and hypnotherapist Joe Galloway
on the show, and what she's doing I think is
(01:07):
amazing because it's helping children, but not only is it
helping children, it's also helping adults.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Joe, so glad to have you on the show. How
are you doing today?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I'm doing great, as she thank you so much for
having me.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Amazing work that you're doing. So tell me a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I mean, obviously you're a hypnotherapist, you're a children's author,
but what led you down that path to start this
and then obviously to be able to write all of
these meditational books.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Well, I would have to say my biggest passion is
I do not want children to grow up to live
the life that I had. And it's not to say
that I came from a dysfunctional, abausy childhood. I had
a fantastic childhood. I had a working class parents that
worked hard. I was a middle child of three girls.
We had private school education, we had overseas holidays, the
(02:00):
best childhood.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
But still I lived by beliefs that I.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Wasn't good enough, I wasn't lovable, I wasn't important. And
these beliefs that I formed, which I didn't figure out,
I didn't even know I had these beliefs. I were
just running in my subconscious mind. All I knew is
that I could not stay have a constant relationship, a
loving relationship. I moved from relationship to relationship, and then
(02:24):
I was in abusive relationships because I didn't know that
all I was doing was looking for love, because I
didn't feel loved. I was looking for love and I
didn't care if I was abused or mistreated. It's just somebody,
please love me. And then I worked physically, mentally, emotionally
really hard all my life, but I just seemed to
go from paycheck to paycheck. I just never seemed to.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Get a heading life. I was very shy, I was introverted.
I never mixed in groups. I never played team sports.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I was always on the outer. I was always just aloner.
And this was just how I was. I didn't understand
that it was because I had some sort of belief
that was in my subconscious that was running my whole show.
And it wasn't until that I started studying hypnotherapy and
seeing clients that I realized that all these feelings and
(03:16):
all these emotions that we have as adults now, and
all these behavior issues that we don't like, can be
traced back to their first few years of our childhood.
We were only being on the planet like for seven
short years, we've already come to the conclusion that we're
not good enough. We already believe that we're not lovable.
We already know that we're not worthy, we're not important.
(03:36):
What we want is not available to us. We have
so many beliefs that we formed in our childhood, and
then these beliefs get cemented into our subconscious and then
they become a reality, and then we look for validation
in these beliefs all our lives. I couldn't find love
because you know, no one could love me. If I
found a good, decent, loving man, I sabotage that relationship
(03:58):
because you know, I didn't love me, so how could
you possibly love me? And so this just went on
from relationship to relationship, and I just think, what is
wrong with me? You know, what is wrong with me?
And I ended up in a narsissistic relationship for ten years,
you know, just still trying to find love.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Love me, please love me.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
And then I realized one day, you know what, there's
something wrong with him. And that was quite obvious, there
was something wrong with him. But then I realized, oh
my god, there has to be something wrong with me.
How can I allow somebody to abuse me and treat
me so badly? And then with that realization, I just
thought to myself, you know I deserve better. I'm a
good person, I'm kind, I'm nice. I don't deserve to
(04:40):
be treated this way. And so I literally just grabbed
a plastic bag, I threw in some clothes, I threw
in my toall tries, and I left.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
And I left my business, I left my home. I left.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
I just rented a place and I just went into solitude.
I just went into time introspection and getting to know me,
meditation after meditation and listening to podcasts of Esther Hicks
and Wayne Dwyer Dyer and Louise Hay and I just
began reprogramming my mind, preparing my self belief, just loving myself,
(05:12):
you know, really self care. I haven't you know, there
was no this sing of self care in my life.
I just I put everybody's knees before my own.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I was not a.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
People pleaser, but I would always want everyone around me
to be happy before I was even happy. But then
I spent two years probably just thinking to me. For once,
I just started thinking about what I liked, what I
didn't like why I was like I was, and then
this attracted my dream husband, my perfect home. My whole
(05:42):
life did an absolute quantum shift. And my greatest gratitude
every day is I'm so grateful for where I'm at
compared to where I used to be. It's like I
am a totally different person, like even to speak on
this radio show. This is something that would never ever
cross my mind of doing. I was always in the
background and that's where I was happy staying. Because I
(06:04):
had a psychic reading once and the guy said to me,
I would love to hire you, Joe, because you would
work harder, you'd work faster, you work smarter than anybody else.
And I said, no, why is that And he said
because you don't believe you're good enough.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
And I thought, oh my god, you're right.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I don't believe I'm good enough, you know, and I
have to constantly prove it. And that's why I found
myself my whole life, doing everything myself.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I would never ask for help ever.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
I would, you know, be that one that was loved
and the big horse feedbags and I'll be one. And
I never ask anybody for help because that would that
would expose my belief that I wasn't good enough.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
You know, I got lost in the street.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
I would drive for miles before I think about pulling
somebody over and asking them for directions, because you know,
I'm good enough.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I had to constantly prove that I was good enough.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That is amazing. That's amazing, Joe.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I mean like the concept of being able to go
from that that extreme being able to identify the fact
that we were having, you know, issue and relationships, finding
the wrong types of people, finding people that aren't healthy,
and then you realizing kind of a weakening into that,
and then basically transforming. So you were basically walking through
this and you know, going through the meditations and reprogramming
(07:17):
your brain basically, can you tell me more about, you know,
the day to day on how that you went by
doing that?
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Well, I've really started then to stand up on myself,
like I was still in some way connected to that
abusive relationship and he, you know, that control I allowed
him to have. I stood up to it, and then
I started not accepting it, like you know, when he'd
asked me to do something, No, I can't do that,
(07:45):
like and I remember him saying to me one day,
and I was in the car and he grabbed me
by the shit and he asked me to do something.
I said, I can't. I'm already doing two jobs. I've
got this to do. I've got that to do. I physically, mentally,
physically cannot do what you're asking. And he said, I said,
I've got three two jobs he said. He just grabbed
me and said, well you got four now, and he
was and then I just said no. I virtually just
(08:07):
stood my ground and stood up for myself. And I
was like, WHOA where did that come from? You know,
I just do it up and said no. For the
first time in my whole entire life. I think I
said no and took the power back. And you know,
obviously he didn't know what to say because he never
experienced me in any sort of force before and stood up.
He was like, I think he was a bit dumbfounded,
(08:29):
like you know what happened. And so I gradually started
to get myself confidence and to realize I deserve better
and I am and I don't need to take that
shit from you. I don't need to take that I
am capable, I am and in control of who I am.
And so gradually I think that all happened by just
positive affirmations. I think, you know, I have this magic
(08:51):
script that I'm still to this day. If I'm in
the car or I'm in the shower, I just infused
myself with positive informations and I just had a roll about,
like you know, I'm the God's gift of the world,
you know, And it just alone when I say these words,
it brings up the most amazing feelings in me. It
(09:13):
empowers me. My shoulders go back, I stand up. I'm
in that power position, and it just it reflects, it
flecs on my outer world. It flexs on what I
bring into me then and people look at me and
they can see my energy. I'm not that little weak
girl sitting in the corner anymore. I'm somebody that they're
interested in conversing with because I'm giving out that energy
(09:34):
of confidence and giving out that energy they've you know,
strength and kindness and that I have got something to
say because I live by the belief that, you know,
what I wasn't important and what I had to say
wasn't important. And we can probably go on to where
I got those beliefs and how easily they've formed in
our childhood without our parents even realizing now our parents
(09:56):
are doing the best they can. I parented from the
way I could, and they learn from their parents, and
it's a generational parenting and I.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Think it needs to stop.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
It needs now that parents more than ever need to
connect with their children before correction. They need to feel
where the children are coming from, before they are allowed
to go off and find you know, I'm not good enough,
I'm not lovable.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
That's so true, and being able to see their own limitations.
And you're right, for the most part, most I would
say the majority of parents are trying their best. I
don't think that they're trying to sabotage. There are those
out there that are sabotaging, that are very narcissistic, that
are very malignant, But for the most part, I think
it's based on the limited knowledge base of what they
(10:42):
were taught, and then it's based on you know, and
then what their parents were taught.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And so you're right.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It has this generational issue as well, where if we
don't turn it around at some point and even realize
our own insecurities, like being able to identify as an adult,
our own insecurities, our own fears, are own traumas, our
own triggers. Those are the things that we can help
our children to not be able to go down that
same path.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Definitely.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
I think taking control of your own self care is
the children are watching you. You are the biggest role model,
you know, So they're watching you, they're listening to you,
they're learning from you, and they're forming beliefs. So you
working on yourself, you're giving such a great role model
for your children to show them that that it's okay,
(11:29):
it's okay to put me first and think that you
know that I need to work on my inner child
because I'm getting triggered by things.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
And I think.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
The children are our greatest mirrors. You know, they will
trigger back to us like what we need to be
more aware of. Like if you're getting triggered by something
when your children doesn't do what you ask them to do,
and you're getting really anxious about that and over you know, thinking.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Everything, you say, well, why where does this come from?
What can make me calm?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
And what can we look at this from a different perspective?
True out reacting without reacting, you know. So that's so
important to be working on yourself. As working working on
yourself is working helping your children more than you know.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
There it really is, And Joey, you're so right.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
It's like when we show children and others around us,
we become the example. And when you're learning more about
how to make yourself better, but how to also overcome
some of these limiting beliefs. And that's what we have
so much to talk about, because we're gonna be talking
about breaking these barriers down, helping kids to overcome limiting beliefs,
(12:34):
also dealing with anger and fear and chaos and stuff,
because you know, life is changing, it's constantly changing, and
I know that many of us deal with the fears
of that on our own as well. And later on
here during the show, we're gonna be talking more about
that and conquering some of these challenges, you know, as
well as how parents can really help their kids and
(12:55):
influence them. And that's why I find it so practical
and so amazing. Joe what you're doing is because you're
a living version of this. It's not just talking about it.
It's not just esoterically saying, oh, this is what we
could do. You know, this is actually work in progress,
doing it and being consistent. So when we're returning to
talking more about not only how to how to deal
(13:15):
with this, how to begin you know, how to understand meditation,
but also you know what the different books and the
different series are about, because they're separate, they're direct, they're
specific for each subject matter, and we're going to talk
about that as well. So I'm really looking forward to that.
So stay tuned, don't change the channel. We have more
coming up. Joe is going to be here for the
entire hour and we're going to be sharing some really information,
(13:37):
some really great information as well, not only for our children,
but also for ourselves.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
So stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Live your True Life Perspectives with your host me Asley Burgess.
We'll be back in I'll be back this time.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
You know it.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I'll be back this time in two shakes.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Wow, turn it up and jump in the deep end
on Perspectives. Now here's Ashley.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Welcome back live to liver Try Life Perspectives and I'm
your host, Ashley Burgess. Joining me today in the show
is children's author and hypnotherapist Joe Galloway. Joe, you know,
right before the break we were talking about, you know,
your journey into understanding yourself and really kind of overwrite, overwriting,
these these old limiting beliefs.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Can you tell us a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
About you know, hypnotherapy, not only how does it work
for adults, but how does that work for kids as well?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Well? The power of the mind is absolutely amazing.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
So before the age of seven, children are naturally in
a state if he knows this, they have I'm not
mature enough. They haven't developed their frontal cortex of their brain,
so that's the reasoning side of their mind. So no
matter what you tell them before the age of seven,
they're going to believe, and they're going to absorb it
into their subconscious mind and it's there to stay. So
(15:08):
that is what hypnosis is about, is quietening down your
conscious analytical side of your mind. So it's a matter
of just deep relaxation, quietening your ego or your conscious mind,
and being able to reprogram and listen is straight and
talk straight to your subconscious So when you are in
that state of hypnosis, as young children are, you can
(15:32):
easily reprogram your mind. You can tell yourself better thinking
thoughts instead of negative thoughts. You can reprogram them. So
the benefit of is hypnosis because we're going directly straight
into your subconscious. You can do it in the conscious
side as well, but you also have that critical factor
jumping in and that ego jumping in and counteracting your
(15:54):
words and your thoughts and trying to overanalyze them. So
but when you're in hypnosis, you don't have that. You
just have you're talking straight to your subconscious. So that's
a benefit of hypnosis. And that is the bit why
I start all my books with that mindfulness meditation. It's
to get their minds into that state of hypnosis where
(16:15):
we're just talking to their subconscious.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
We don't want them overthinking, we don't them overreacting. We
just want to.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Talk and empower them right for the core, right into
where it makes a difference. And our subconscious is our
memory bank, and what we program into our subconscious over
time becomes who we are. It becomes our reality. So
if you've been telling yourself something over and over again
all your life that you're not good enough and you
(16:43):
can't do that, and I can't do this, and you're
virtually talking yourself out of it, you're just you're programming
yourself to be the way you are. But you can
easily reprogram that. It's just in a state of Hyman.
It's all hypnosis is self hypnosis. So it's so easy
to just put yourself.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
In a relaxed state of mind to.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Just with deep breathing, visualization, just progressive relaxation, you can
easily put yourself in a state where you're talking directly
to your subconscious And then the more you talk to
the more you repeat the same thing over and over again,
the mind loves to hear it over and repetitive, and
it becomes the truth, It becomes who you are. The
(17:25):
more the mine hears it, it goes You know, I've
been hearing you say this over and over again, it
must be true. So then you've got a new set
of beliefs in so what you believe before is no
longer true. So now I believe I'm lovable, So I'm
going to attract more love into my life. Because what
we feel, we give out, and what we give out
we get back. So it all starts with training ourselves,
(17:48):
reprogramming out of our mind.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
And we all can do that so easily.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
By just by just shutting off that overthinking, critical factor
of our minds.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
That's very interesting saying.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
And you know, when we were returning to be talking
more about that, because I think it is about repetition,
it is about consistency, and obviously with children under a
certain age, it probably doesn't have to be that much
a repetition compared to us as adults, and so we'll
be sharing with that.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Don't change the channel. We have a lot of things
to talk about.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
We want to also discuss the bedtime Healing meditation series
that Joe has created, which is really profound and how
you know, hypnotherapy and mindfulness are so important and that's
something that I've talked about in many of these shows,
about mindfulness and being aware and be mindful and in
the moment and being able to feel and be part
of our lives. And a lot of times we're not
(18:38):
doing that. We're going through the motions, we're not paying attentions,
we're accepting old negative beliefs and patterns in our life.
And so this is going to be an awakening for
all of us to listen to this show.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
So stay tuned. We have a lot more coming up.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Live Your True Life Perspectives with your host me Astley
Burgers will be back in I'll be back this time
in two shakes.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Wow, this is Jake buseing and you're listening to Perspectives
with Ashley Burgess.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Welcome back live to Literature Life Perspectives and I'm your host.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Astley Burgess. Joe Galloway is here.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
She's a hypnotherapist and children's author, and we've been talking
about hypnotherapy and the value of that not.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Only for adults but for children. And now I really
want to deep dive.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So Joe has created a series and it's the Bedtime
Healing Meditation Series. Joe, let's talk about the various stories
within the series.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I mean just from the very beginning of the introduction
of why we have healing meditations is so empowering. So
let's start with the first, you know, the first series
of books, the story that you created, and we'll kind
of go from there.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Perfect Yep, Well, at this.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Realize that you know, I was working with adults, but
I really needed to be helping the children. This is
the most crucial time that we need to be instilling
self love, confidence, resilience into our children because it's going
to benefit their whole entire lives. So while their minds
are now are so young and impressionable and mouldible, we
want to be installing all the positivity into them. We
(20:23):
want them to have that positive mental attitude for life.
So I started with each book has a different theme,
whether it's you know, building confidence and self love, whether
it's Overcoming anxiety to bedweening, to Scare the Dark, to Two.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Homes and One Heart Unconditional Love.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
So each of the stories have a story within them,
but they all begin with the Mindfulness Meditation Guide of visualization.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
They're not picture books. They are meant for to be read.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
At bedtime and the children are in that relaxed state
so they're able to absorb all the positive messages story.
So I really wanted to make a story that the
children can relate to and also the parents. As the
parents read these stories, they're working on there in a
child as well, because you know, it's never too late,
(21:16):
it's never too late to become that loving parent to yourself.
So you know, all the praise that I'm putting into
your telling your child, you're actually telling your subconscious the same.
So they were working both ways with helping the parents
and helping the children. And so I started the books
with the Magical Worry Balloon. That was my first one
that was the one that I started with just helping
(21:39):
children to relieve their anxieties and their fears and their worries,
and to know how good they feel when they're not
worried about something, when they're not overthinking. So that story
is just a guide in meditation where they go on
a journey and they encounter a magical worry balloon and
they can put all their worries into the magical worry
balloon and step back and like handing them over to
(22:01):
the universe, and the worry balloon raises in the sky,
and the more worries they put into the balloon, the
higher and the faster the balloon can fly. And then
they can step back, and then they can feel how
good they feel. Oh my god, I feel amazing now
that I'm not worried about something. How I can change
my thoughts now to positive thoughts and better thinking thoughts,
and I don't need to worry about that anymore.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I've handed that over to the universe. It's gone, it's
gone away with the wind, and.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Just immbrace themselves and how good they feel and how
lovable they are, and just empower them with confidence. And
that led me to my next book, which was the
magical Treasure Hunt, and that was deep diving more into
self love and confidence. It's a story where the children
go on a journey with their best friend and along
(22:46):
the way they collect treasure stones, and on these stones
are inscribed with powerful messages like I am good enough,
and I'm amazing, I'm lovable, I'm beautiful, my body is
beautiful just as it is, I am confident, I like myself,
and all these messages. They get to collect them on
little rocks and carry these rocks with them everywhere they
go as a reminder always whenever they feel they can
(23:10):
remember that I am good enough, I am lovable, body
is beautiful just the way it is, and build confidence
in children and self love.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
So that led me to going on to I.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Am different, I am me, and that is to appreciate
your uniqueness.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
You know, like being different is good. We're all meant
to be different. There's none of us are like.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
The only thing we probably have in common that we
all strive a connection. Other than that, we all have
our own likes. We all have our own dislikes, and
that's okay. We can't be good at everything. We just cannot.
I might be good at math, but I'm a perfect
a reading, and it's to highlight your special talent. And
(23:57):
when you are happy with your special talent and you're
not trying to compete with everybody else, you appreciate your
uniqueness and who you are, and you you shine because
you know who you are. You're not trying to compare
yourself to others.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
And that's how we're meant to be. We're all meant
to be different, and that is how we're meant to be.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And it's so important when you're reading these stories. Also
when you're reading these meditational series to your children. As
an adult, I'm sure there's a lot of epiphanies as well.
You know, where you're realizing that you have you know,
you've been kind of looking at other people, you have
been comparing your life to other people. You know, there's
a lot of these things. I mean, that's very interesting.
(24:42):
I'm sure there's a lot of epiphanies that the adults
are Have you been told that that a.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Lot of yes, I'm like, wow, I've been doing this.
Oh my god, I've been doing this my whole life. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Like I said, they're not even an eye opening for children,
but the parents can really relate to them, especially my
generation who grew up in a generation where children were seen,
they weren't heard. Parents very rarely told them that they
loved you. You were left to make your own beliefs
about life. And you know, when children don't understand what's
(25:14):
going on the course, they're going to think, well, what
does that mean? And that's when we're going to form
beliefs like why does mummy look at me when I'm
talking to her?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Oh, I'm not important? And then it happens again, is
oh I'm not important? Why does daddy yell at me
when I you know, I don't come home with good grades? Well,
I'm not good enough. And when we get compared to
why don't you be as good as your sister? Why
do you have to?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
You know, we start and we start forming beliefs about
ourself that's totally untrue. Like I believed my father went
to his grave and never telling me he loved me.
But when I look back as an adult, now, oh
my god, he gave me so much, and he went
out of his way to get a second job to
feed my horses, and he did so.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Much for me.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
But as a child, I still felt I didn't I
wasn't lovable love me, and I went looking for my
father's love in every relationship.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
So left to our own.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Devices, we can form most craziest beliefs. But I think
my books open up that communication with between the parent
and children too.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
They get the parent.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Relating and then they can understand. The children can start
talking to them more about their feelings and their emotions,
and that strengthens their bond. And then the children are
left to make up forced beliefs that are going to
ruin not ruin their lives, but they're going to have
a you know.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
They could ruin.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I mean, they could get to the point, right, I mean,
we've seen it. But I also think the power of
your series also opens the door if parents are willing
to be honest as far as you know, you know,
being authentic in the spot of hey, I'm dealing with this,
or I've compared myself to others, or because even it
(26:54):
could be a very innocent comment that's made by a
parent growing up that you don't really you know, like,
but becomes a big deal and you start, you know,
but I agree, this could really open the door to
really honest communication where a child realizes, hey, I'm not.
I'm not the only one that feels this way. Mom
has gone through it, her dad has felt it. And
(27:15):
I think that could be really powerful and bring a
family dynamic closer together, because it's not like the parents
know everything and they're portraying themselves as this perfection or
the kids don't you know, are because I think when
we were growing up, and when I was growing up,
you know, you looked at your parents as like, you know,
these gods because they were big, huge comparatively, and he
(27:35):
didn't get to pick them. They were they were there,
they were already there. There was no picking of them
in this timeline, and you know it was interesting because
you know, you you looked up to them for everything,
and I think.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That they only knew what they knew.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I mean, my mom was like twenty seven, twenty eight,
I mean she wasn't you know, she wasn't that wise
and not that old, and you know my dad was,
you know, about the same age, and and it's just
like they knew all they knew, but we automatically took
that as gospel truth, everything that came out of their mouth,
you know. And I think that when you kind of
are able to communicate with your parents, and the parents
(28:10):
can communicate with kid go hey, son, I'm dealing with
that same issue or or you know, or I went
through that, or I got bullied as a kid or whatever.
I think that that takes away that that mysticism or
that fear factor you know, as a child, and it
goes oh wow, you know, I can really actually have
a conversation with my parents about being bullied or having
the situation that happened in school, or feeling bad about
(28:31):
getting that bad grade on that test and feeling really small,
or not having that friend in school, or somebody turning
their back on you or whatever. And I think that
can really open up the line of communication.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Actually, like children need to know that their parents are
not super human, you know, not sipper mom and SUPI dad.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
We're human. We're just like you. We've gone through it,
we've been there.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
And that open communication when the children realize, like you
understand me, you see me, you hear me, you know
that is like your children and parents are great and
fulfilling so many needs of children to be clothed and
fed and house but that connection that that children is
looking for is the biggest and to be seen and
to be heard and to be understood. This is where
(29:16):
my book's really come into play. They get the children
to understand and the parents to come on the same timeline,
you know, when I'm not your authority figure and I'm
here to help you in all the ways possible mentally, emotionally,
and physically, and I'm here with you, you know, so that.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
More of a guidance, not a little less of an authority.
And I often think too, it's almost like the same
as you know, like bringing up the concept of alcohol
or drugs, you know, with your kids. And I think
that most kids hide it when they think mom and
dad are perfect, or they're gonna yell at me, or
they're what But I mean, you know, you know, I
hate everybody's drank too much at some point in time.
Everybody's done this. And if you were able to open
(29:56):
that line of communication and say, hey, this is what
I've done, let's talk about it. I don't want you
going down the same path, or if you do, we
need to be honest here so we can have communication.
And I think it's the same thing. It's like the
big issues that normally create you know, havoc in someone's
life is the stuff that people feel like they can't
talk about. They feel like they're alone, like there's no
other option. I'm the only one dealing with this, Nobody
(30:18):
understands me. And those are the things that you really
take to heart. And those are the things that I
really do think mess up your life if you don't
have someone to communicate that you know you can trust
and then vice versa, that they might open up and
say this I mean, and being able to have an
open mind and being mindful in the moment that your
child is speaking up about something that maybe they're not
happy about, or maybe they're not thrilled about, or maybe
(30:40):
they're just insecure or they feel bad about themselves about,
but allowing that open communication to happen because you could
foster an amazing you know, child parent dynamic through this
type of stuff, but also maybe make changes to your
you know, your your issues as well, because a lot
of us have these patterns that were living in based
on these thoughts that we had that probably started when
(31:04):
we were five, six and seven. You know, your first
grade teacher makes a comment about you know, hey, you're
never going to do this or whatever, and.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
That goes with you all the way through high school.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
And I mean and that could ruin your life to
some degree, at least some part of your life is
hurt based on believing whatever was said and then and
then putting that into thought process, you know, every day
for how many years you're going to actually believe that
to be true?
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Yeah, yeap, And being able to look back and realize
in those beliefs that you formed, which just lies, there's
something that you believed because you didn't have the capacity
to understand what was going on with your parents, all
your teachers or you know, they might have been having
a bad day or then they you know, they've we've
been living such a stressful life at the moment. So
but their children don't know that unless we communicate with them,
(31:49):
you know, unless we tell them, oh, my god, mummy's
having a really bad day and it's okay, that's okay.
I'm allowed to just go out there and have a meltdown.
But when I come back, it's okay. You know, parents,
children can see that, oh, your mummy's just like me.
We're okay to express our emotions. We don't have to
hide our emotions from from others and you know, when
the more we hide our emotions, well, they become your
(32:11):
depression and they become like they cause organs to milk
down and health issues, and so expressing our emotions is
so important and we learn that from a young age
that it's okay to talk about how we're feeling, and
we know that our parents are there and got our backs,
you know.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
So I want to think, if you're having a bad day,
you're right, jo, If you're having a bad day and
you make the comment, you know, to your kiddo, instead
of them thinking, oh, it's something i've done, yes, you know,
it's like, no, no, actually, this is what happened with
you know at work today, or this is what was said,
or this is what I got from the you know,
whatever it is, this is why I'm not feeling, or
this is why I'm out in this way has nothing
(32:50):
to do with you, you know. And I think also
that could change every a lot of dynamic and a
family dynamic pretty quickly, you know. And then the child
begins to say, oh, wow, okay, it's feeling separate from me,
because as kids we think that we are you know,
the reason for their happiness is us, The reason for
their sadness is us. The reason for their anger is us,
you know, and that's how you know you feel that
way and sometimes right, it's not about us, and it's good.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
Yes, yeah, So my books that go on, they just
cover so many topics, from bedwedding to Scared of the
Dark to you know, I love school. It's just about
you know, that positive mental attitude. It's not so much
about school. I mean, even though I've said it, you've
said it. We've all heard our children say I hate school.
But when you say I hate something, you're putting a
(33:35):
negative tone to it. And if you just watched your
thoughts and watch your words, because you know, our words
have wings and our thoughts are things, and it's like
sayending them off. Like the book is about watching our words,
because when we say negative words, they go off into
the universe like a rocket and they came back and
they bring you that same experience.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
So we can change your words from.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
I hate school to our love school and then start
looking to all the positive things you love in even
if it's lunchtime, even it's the walk home. They find
that positive in everything, and and change your thoughts to
positive thoughts instead, and just being conscious of that. Just
be conscious of your well, the words you're speaking. And
it's also for the parents to be conscious of when
(34:16):
you say what you like and what you don't like,
because the universe is listening and you're reflecting back what
you think you know. So so all the books have
that underlying, you know, a belief system to give you
a better reality in life.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
So the children are adults, Yeah, and I love that,
and Joe, I love where we're going with this because
it really does impact the children.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
It impacts the adults.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
It impacts if you're reading this to your child, it
impacts them and it opens up the communication. So when
we when we return, Joe's going to give us her
nuggets of wisdom, which is what we do every time
on Liberatory Life Perspectives. So stay tuned, don't change the channel.
Literature Life Perspectives with your host Media Ashy Burdis will
be back in.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
I'll be back at this time. Two shakes.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Get in here. You're listening to Perspectives with Ashley Burgess.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Welcome back live to look at your life Perspectives and
I'm your host, Ashley Burgess. I've been talking to Joe
Galloway today children's author and hypnotherapist Joe. I like to
ask in this time of the show for all of
our authors golden nuggets of wisdom, and I know you
have at least three of those that you'd like to
share on today's show for our listeners.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
Well, I always say to my own daughter in laws,
the biggest thing that you can teach your child is
self love. You know, when they come out dressed and
they go, Mom, do I look good in this? You know,
ask them do you think you look good in this?
You know, it's what they think that madis.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
It's not what I think that medis.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
If they you know, just empower them with positivity, self love,
confidence and affirmations. Just power them and pump informations into them,
you know, on the car and the drive to school.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Constantly I am good enough, I am blah blah blah,
I've got this. I can do that. I'm amazing.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
And just build them up so when they get out
of the car, they're like superheroes, you know, like bullies
have not a chance to even come near them. They've
already got their shield around them, their energies raised, their
vibration is high, and they're coming to school with a
positive middle attitude. So self love, it all starts within
and that start. And a second one wisdom would be
(36:38):
your your self care. I mean, if your children are
triggering you, and you know that because they're not doing
what you'd want them to do when you're asking them
to do it, and you're getting triggered.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Because they're not listening to it to you. And when
you were a child that no one listened to you
and you didn't have a voice, Work on yourself. Work
on yourself. You're teaching your children, teach yourself.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
It's never too late to become that loving parent, never
too late to empower yourself. Put yourself first, build yourself up,
because helping yourself is helping your children. More than you know,
the children are reflecting off your energy, so you know,
don't overthink positivity.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
You know, if you think you can, you can. If
you think you can't, you can't. So you know, empower yourself.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
So that would be my second nugget, Work on yourself
because you're really working on your children. And my third
nugget would be I have to be the best one,
the connection before correction, you know, because we need to
connect the children with what they're happening, and when they're
having a meltdown and when they're reacting to things, they're
(37:46):
forming beliefs and they're only reacting because they're trying to
have a need fulfilled. And when we can connect to
what that need is, we can get down on the
child's level and we can say I know exactly how
you feel.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
I've been there, we've done that.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
But how about we just we take a few deep
breaths or you know, and understand well why these children
need these needs and the roles that they're playing to
get these needs fulfilled. You know, if children don't feel
that their needs fulfilled, they will even become the sick one.
They will find some way to get their needs to
be seen, heard and connection with you.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
They will be the good one.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
They will be brilliant and so that's how they'll get
their needs fulfilled. Or they'll be the caring one where
they just over people please and they just over we
do everything.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
And you never have to worry about them one, so
there's sort of caring gentle souls, or they're going to
be the rebel.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
They're going to be the one that's just disobedient and defiant.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
And when you see these behaviors in your child, know.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
That that underlying, there's an underlying need behind them is
to form connection, form connection and avoid rejection. So that's
all the mind to form connections. So understand your child's needs,
form that connection. Give yourself the self love that you deserve.
You know, you're never too late to become that loving parent,
(39:12):
and teach your children's self love.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Teach your children that.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
What they're good at and what they don't have to
be good at everything. What they're good at, that's what
they're meant to be good at. What they look like,
that's how they're meant to be, and accept everything about themselves.
To love every piece of themselves, to love the way
they speak, love the way they talk, love.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
The way they do everything.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
And then their confidence is going to grow and build,
and as they get into an adult old they're very
early going to be bullied. They're going to excel in anything.
They succeed in anything they choose. Their whole life is
not going to be restricted from limiting beliefs that are
going to hold them back and prevent them from being
the person they were meant and born to be. The
(39:55):
universe has put us here to shine and I want
to blemish that with limiting beliefs. We want to be
the human that we were meant to be.
