Take a deep breath in through your nose.
Hold it.
Now, release slowly again deep in helle hold release, repeating internally to yourself as you connect to my voice. I am deeply, deeply well. I I am deeply well. I am deeply well.
I'm Debbie Brown and this is the Deeply Well Podcast. Welcome to Deeply Well, a soft place to land on your journey. A podcast for those that are curious, creative, and ready to expand in higher consciousness and self care. This is where we heal, this is where we transcend. Welcome back to season four of the Deeply Well Podcast. I'm Debbie Brown, and Hi, welcome, so excited to be back with you. We've had a nice, little chunky two month rest hiatus, and now I am so excited to be back for you for season four of the Deeply Well Podcast on the Black Effect Network. As with every season of the show, for those listening, especially for my longtime listeners, I like to lean into my personal creativity and my passions for the way that I experience wellness, higher consciousness and well being, and I want to tinker just a little bit. So even as we roll out this fourth season, going into a few episodes, in you are going to be having some new changes coming that you'll be noticing as the season continues to unfold in each episode. My intention this season for season four is to really lean into some of the really expansive ways we can process some of the themes that we explore on this show together. So as we get into this season, I always think of a quote that my friend Tiffany Howell of Night Palm Interior Design said to me, where, you know, we were kind of working on a project together and we were going through, you know, all the changes and everything changes so fast, and I remember she said to me, well, Debbie, this is a living breathing thing. Everything you create, no matter what it is, is a living breathing thing, which means it's evolving in every second. And her saying that gave me so much freedom in the way I approach creativity or change and everything that I do. And so though we are in a day and time where consistency is so important and it's king and it's very it's one of the things that keeps the ball rolling, I also want to lean into things that I'm exploring on this show and how you are receiving them and interacting with the content on this show, we tend to go a little bit deeper, and we tend to let ourselves savor certain themes and explore them in a few different ways and through a few different lenses. And I have found as a trauma informed wellness and well being educator and advisor, that that's how we actually change, and that's how things go from being intellectualized by us and just living right there at the tippy top of our heads to actually being able to roll down beautifully into the center of our hearts and the core of our beings, so that the things that we are learning and understanding about ourselves in the world are able to actually be the things that we are living and that our behavior is able to bloom out of. Because that's how the way we feel about ourselves and our lives change, and that's my style of teaching and I want to explore that a little bit more on this show. And so I'm going to go through with you some of the changes that you're going to notice, and then I have a story that you were just going to swoon over to share with you a little bit later in this episode. So as we walk into season four, I'm really excited about some of the new things that we are bringing to deeply well. So one, we're going to have a new style that we explore this show, and this is a weekly show, episodic. Every week tends to be in the vein of all the things that we discuss here, but sometimes we can really vary from week to week. So one of the things that's changing about this show is that we're going to use an entire month to explore a theme in a few different ways. So for this month, one of the themes that we're going to be exploring is integrity, and we're going to be exploring integrity through the lens of personal integrity, spiritual integrity, and greater integrity in the world. All the different kinds of ways that we explore this in our human and spiritual experience and what we've found, which I'm just pretty excited about. I love y'all. We got a ton of feedback back that many of you listening we're actually looking to hear more one on one episodes of Just Me to You and I heard you loud and clear. So the majority of the episodes we explore in the month now, I'm really excited to share, are going to be based around our conversations me to you, and then also some of the questions that you may be having, and maybe some deeper stories that we can dive into for those that are willing to share them, and we can process some stuff together in real time that'll go within all the themes of the month. And then I also, as always, have some incredible guests to share with you this season really excited for I feel that every season I have been blessed to just have some incredibly special, brilliant people on this show, and this season will be no different. We're going to have to just really something I'm excited about is that through exploring some of these themes, we're really going to be able to tie it together each month with an extra special guest that can continue to stretch out these deeper understandings that we can spend time with. So that's one of the things that's changing. Another thing that is changing is we're going to have more integration and practice time around the themes that we're exploring. So every single episode. Something that I featured on this show is what I like to call soul work. It is the process of you being able to to integrate and explore through your own personal lived experience what we may be exploring in more general or greater context on the show. Now, one of the biggest reasons that at the end of every episode I or the guests on the show offer forward soul work is because this is what helps us to bring it back into the body. My deepest intention, as I share quite often, I know, is that we have got to stop thinking about all of the things that we've gone through, thinking about all of the changes, thinking about all that we've learned, and we have to build our courage and our capacity and our tolerance to put it all into action and to really let it permeate our new lived experience. And so the way to do that is to actively be in practice with something. And so so often we hear inspiring things. Sometimes we might write down a couple quotes, but then we leave it there. If we give ourselves a chance to say, you know, before this day is up or before this week is up, I'm going to think about all of this again, and I'm going to sit with it, and maybe I'm going to write out a few things with it. And so I'm a deep believer in the power of journaling and the power of doing soul work processing. I have found it to just be invaluable one hundred percent of the time in my own personal work and in the work that I do with clients. So now that we're going to be exploring themes every month, another thing that we're going to be exploring is a broaden way that we can do soul work. So when you sign up to my newsletter, go to Debbie Brown dot com or if you're on Instagram, you can go to my social links and you'll just be able to click a tab that says sign up for newsletter.

It's going to be a PDF that consists of several pages where there is going to be prompts and there's going to be opportunity to really write out your thoughts and see how you're connecting to the themes that we're exploring. Now, this is one hundred percent exclusive to those that are signed up for the news letter, So again, go to my website Dewi Brown dot com or Instagram social links. Click sign up for a newsletter and you'll be able to get a workbook that you can really sink your teeth into for the soul work of all of the episodes. Really excited to share that for you. Another change that's happening with Deeply while this season is we officially are going to be having some merge. Yes, next episode will be the drop, and I'm so excited to share with you all of the designs that oh my gosh, I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed. It's all I wear right now. So we've got some cute stuff to share for those that are, you know, really repping that deeply well lifestyle, you know, that feeling of being deep inside oneself and really in pursuit of a well lived life.
So that is to come.
So those are all the things that we can look forward to for season four. Again, starting next episode, we're going to be exploring themes of integrity. And make sure you check below in the show notes for all the links that I discussed so far in the show. All right, now, let me catch you up the last couple of months, and again I have a really delicious story about joy to share with you before we part ways. But first I just want to I want to catch everybody up on some stuff that's been going on in my world, the way that life is kind of unfolding. And as you're listening to this episode, go ahead and hit me on the gram too. Let me know what's going on with the way that you've experienced this summer. You know, we left off with a beautiful summer series that was brought to us by expert astrologer Darryl Gaines, and I'm so curious for those that really locked into those episodes and kind of did some of the soul work that he provided. I am so deeply, deeply curious how you experienced your summer through that astrological lens. So if anyone listening right now had any experiences, whether they were challenging or miraculous or joyful or healing, that had to do with the way that you utilize Darryl's summer readings for us, please hit me up dm me. You can also email us and all that infos on my website Deffie Brown dot com. But I'm so interested because I had a very ooh, a very charged yet auspicious summer with all of the amazing astrology that was kind of going on, and I found for myself as somebody that got a lot going on in their chart listen, we got twenty five thousand lifetimes happening in this one lifetime. I found that this is one of the best eclipse seasons I've ever had. A clip season is based on my placements, usually kind of tough for me. It's very charged. I find myself getting sick every year around that time, or just having a lot of very intent, sometimes bizarre experiences, so I've come to expect that. But this past eclipse season, and Daryl had done some speaking to about this, it was lit like this was this was the eclipse season of my dreams. A lot of amazing stuff happened, and a lot of expansive experiences and new ways. There was a joyfulness to it, a gentleness to it. So I've been talking with a few other friends that are also all about that transit life and that moon life, and a lot of us were having similar experiences where this seemed to be a time of year that we were just coming into new clarity, but receiving that clarity in more joyful ways than normal. So that's been kind of sweet and fun. So if you've been having some experiences like that, I definitely want to hear about it. Let me know some other things that have been going on. Yeah, I had a very I had a very like romantic summer. I would say it was very like. The weather was great, there was flowers, a lot of little small work trips that you turned to be really fun and very like what's the word delightful savory. One of the things that I did for the very first time this summer was I went to the US Open, which huge, huge, huge thank you to my friend's phenomenal partners at Chase and JP Morgan for the incredible experience that they gifted me. At the US Open. It was amazing. We were at Arthur Ashe Stadium. I got to see a women's match and a men's.
Match, and.
Wow, it was just like take my breath away. It was such a powerful experience. And I took up tennis this past January. My girlfriend and Yvonne actually reignited my desire to learn it. I think I shared this on an earlier episode, but we played we were traveling together in Mexico and we went and played around to tennis and she's just an amazing natural teacher, like such a supportive, kind teacher, and she started teaching me and we like played all afternoon. And it had been like my lifelong childhood dream to play tennis. I had never picked up a racket before, but since I was a little girl, I always wanted to. And so from there I started taking lessons every so often, and it's just become something that has been really fun and really special and nourishing to my heart. And so going to the US Open was so so full circle. It was so fun. It was also like like that, that's the kind of sports I want to be down with. I used to go to a lot of football games, and when you go to football games, people are cussing you out. There is a lot of drunkenness. There's a lot of beers. There is a lot of yelling and booing and heckling and screaming and cheering and excitement. But it's a lot of energy and a lot of cussing and sometimes pushing. Going to the US Open was the most refined, sophisticated sporting experience I've ever had in my life. Everyone was like like the people in front of me were sitting in the wrong seats and when the right you know, the people with the tickets came to see me. They were like, hey, I could be wrong. Now, I could be wrong, but I think these may in fact be my seats. And then the people looked up. Oh my goodness, could I have got this wrong? So sorry, give me a moment, I'll get this straightened out. Oh my goodness, it looks like you're right. Please forgive me. And then they're like, well, let me help you. Oh it looks like you're just right here. Oh, thank you so much, and then they all just like got up with a smile and went on to have a wonderful day. I have been at games before it, for other sporting events where I have just seen people get knocked out for being in someone else's seat. So it was special and my life is forever changed, and my desire is to be at the US Open every year. It was so inspiring, Like words can just not even describe how inspiring it was seeing these just phenomenal, phenomenal athletes that close and that and those kind of games with that kind of risk and you know, all the things that are at stake, and even just the energy of how the crowds cheered you know, it's like we cheered each time I'm either one of the players did well. I was wonderful. This is the kind of way I like to support people. So I just felt like, this is my future, my life. But that was a really special trip, and I found myself in New York just so so much. This summer. I was in New York for really what seemed like twenty four and forty eight hour trips like every two weeks, which was kind of intense on my body. But it was really delightful because New York in the summer and even now in the beginning of fall, it's just such a special time to be in the city and I always feel so full and fueled when I'm there. So I'll get back to New York because I have a couple other things to say about that. But something else fun I did. I just saw the New Usher concerts. I was pretty bummed out that I never made it to Usher in Vegas and I had a chance to see him in LA and oh my god, huge shout out to my dear friend Bombay and also to Chelsea. The tickets, the seats were amazing. Usher is just one of I mean, I know, we know this, but just one of the greatest artists and performers in the history of music, and I felt so lucky to bear witness to it. It was just like, you think of this scope of his career, you think about the amount of hits, the way that he has crossed genres, and it's just like and the fact that he's been in it since he was like twelve. He just has one of those once in a lifetime careers that's just really special to see and to see how far he's come. And it was incredible. It was an incredible show, so inspiring, so fun to sing along. Dear God. But there was one part of the show where he like, okay on his new tour, he does this thing with the audience and cherries, and I was like clutching my pearls. I was like, absolutely, I cannot watch this. Those that have been to a show know what I'm talking about. I know it's been on the blogs too, but yeah, that was something that take in so I could have done without that. But the show is just mind blowingly good and just like inspired me at the core of my beans. So big, huge thank you to ursher Baby for his craft and his mastery.
Deeply well.
Some other fun things. So we are still kind of the in the forward motion for my book. It is so interesting, And I was talking to a girlfriend, one of my girlfriends, who is an actress, and she was laughing at my impatience because when you write a book, the space between when you finish it and when it gets released is like being in bizarro world, Like it is this awkward kind of void of time where you're you can only work towards promoting your book so much because you haven't announced the cover and the dates yet. And so that's where I'm at right now. The book is done, and I'm so excited and anxious, but I am so grateful for where it's landed. And I just feel like it is going to be so deeply supportive to everyone that gets their hands on it, and it is my honor to have written it and to be sharing it. And also I gotta wait. It's this interesting space of having birth something that was so emotional and so deeply tied to the core of my identity and being and everything I've ever learned. I feel like it's like my wrapper debut album, where it's like all my life experiences up until this.
Exact moment and all the gold of it, but it's.
Not time to release yet. So you're kind of like, Okay, I had this huge creation and now I'm like waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting to tell you more about it. So that has been the space that I've been in, which is a new interesting layer of kind of learning patience and learning to be in trust and in deep presence with your creations. I'm very, very confused and grateful for this time and what I'm learning. I had a really awesome opportunity unity to support my dear friend, my Leak Teal at this incredible event that she did in Scottsdale, Arizona with her mom's community. Huge shout out to my leak MoMA mingle that went down. It was a hundred amazing just like special women from all over the country. Such a mix of moms of different ages, of women that would like to be moms or have mothering roles in the lives of others, of single moms, of co parenting, moms of two parent household moms, moms of only children, moms of multiple kids. It was just so many different mom experiences that were so expansive, all at this one beautiful hotel and it was just it was my pleasure. When my league first told me about this idea, it was like, of course, I will come. So it was just it was special to fly down and be able to lead a workshop for an entire evening. We had a workshop in our Jammy's all about self care and it was very deep. It was very deep. There were a lot of tears, there was a lot of laughs, there was a lot of specialness, and it was just such a pleasure to be with every woman in that room. So if you're listening to this show and you were there, I love you, I thank you, and I hope that the last few weeks have been really expansive for you as you've explored some of the things that we've talked about. So big ups to all the mamas. Also got to shout out the Wellness Oasis at Vcon, which was an incredible experience. Big shout out to four B Advisory, to the amazing partners at Chase, to the One Hotel, and also to Gary Vee and Vcon for this incredible experience. They took over all of La Live in downtown LA which are massive venues, massive massive It's you know, it's where the play, it's where all the concerts are. Multiple venues, took them all over, and I hosted the Wellness Oasis, which was bringing together some incredible minds in the athlete world, in the mental health world, and having We had an entire, huge, huge afternoon of conversations. So that was really special and I have some posts about it on my Instagram if you can check that out. Big shout out to my friend DeAndre Jordan from the Denver Nuggets, and also shout out to God. We had so many amazing people. Liz Beekroft, who's the sports psychologist got them, Chopra from Religion of Sports, Megan Twiddler who's an incredible nutritionist. There were just so, so so many powerful speakers that I had the chance to moderate panels with, so you can check out some of that. And then the evening of that event, I hosted the Wellness Oasis Dinner at the One Hotel in West Hollywood and it was an incredibly special night celebrating my dear friend Big Sean and his upcoming book which is so fire. It's filled with practices like true true Deep practices for spiritual growth and personal transformation. Big Sean is not only just an incredible artist, you know, just one of those once in a lifetime artist, those those kind of those artists that have so many songs that sit with you for really significant moments of your life. You know, I listen to some of his records and I'm like, what, Like, it's connected to so many important things of that moment in time. But not only is he, you know, a huge star and an amazing musician and an awesome philanthropist in person, but he's also someone that has a very vast and expansive personal practice wellness practice while being mindfulness practice. He has been meditating since he was a child and knows so much, and he wrote a book about all of that, which is just so inspiring to me. And so I know, I hope everyone gets it, and I hope you check out his new album. So we did a dinner that there's some picks and VIDs up on the Instagram too, at Debbie Brown and that dinner was really special. So we had a conversation with Sean about his you know, just like wildly miraculous and synchronistic life and his success and the things that he's learned. And the dinner was filled with so many from the wealness oasis, but so many also just deeply knowledgeable healers, advocates advisors in the really deeply authentic wellness space. Like we curated such a powerful room with a mix of people who are healers in breath work and energy work and mindfulness and somatic healing in nervous system regulation in meditation, and mindfulness in nutrition in ayr Veda doctors experts.
It was.
It was an amazing room Sports figures. Huge shout out to my friend also Derek Fisher of course NBA champion. He celebrated his huge fiftieth birthday with us that night, and it was just in my girlfriend Laila Dahalia who was there, and Lauren London who came and evon Orgy. It was. It was wonderful. So we had a great time. So you can check out pictures of that too. But it really got me inspired just more opportunities to be in community and to especially be in community without the photo ops, being in community for real conversation and not just to now facilitate like an ig back and forth friendship, but like real connection and real in person you know, opportunity to grow that connection, and I want to say huge shout out to NBC Universal. I just did a keynote with them here in LA last week where I was teaching one of my workshops on self care but specifically nervous system regulation for busy corporate life, and I was just so inspired by everyone in the room and had some really awesome conversations and ran into so many listeners of the Deeply Well podcast while I was there, So huge shout out to everyone that I talked to at that event. All Right, so here's the juicy story as we conclude this first episode back for season four. That happened to me a couple of weeks ago when I was on a I think thirty hour trip to New York to host another Wildness Oasis dinner at the One Hotel Central Park. Huge shout out to FORB Advisory once again to Old to Beauty. This was the official kickoff for their Joy Dinner series and also to our wonderful partners at Chase, Jared Schoenfeld and nave Just. We had an amazing time, but at the event, we had this really beautiful conversation about joy. The dinner was centered on Joy. Deepak Chopra was there also Lori Hernandez Olympic gold medalist. Also we had Jillian Tareki, who is a relationship expert. You know, it's so interesting to me as someone that has really been working with joy as a modality of healing and my teaching for so long and to see Joy become so popular in the last year. We don't always get to have conversations that get us as deep as we may need to go exploring joy and truly the power of what it is. And I felt like at this dinner we were really able to do that and I.
Was so moved.
I also have to say just a huge shadout and thank you to the visionary cmo at Alta Beauty who was the visionary behind this Joy series and initiative that the company is leading with Michelle crosan Matos. The things that she was saying about why she was bringing joy to the forefront and the power of joy like blew me away. And at the end of the dinner, everyone shared something powerful about how they experienced joy, and I was able to share this story that I'm going to share with you now that I thought was really special. So I was in New York for I don't know if you heard that, snap, but snap that long right, And coming from LA, the flight, depending on the flow of wind, is either four and a half hours or it's six hours, right, but you're going to have anywhere between, you know, like nine to twelve hours of travel get to New York from LA round trip. And so I was going to be in and out. I was flying in on a Thursday night, and I'm you know, I'm all settled. I didn't have any work to catch up on. I usually either get into a bubble of like being able to really zone in and focus on work, or I like to like just stare out of the windows mostly and meditate on flights. It is kind of like I find that when I travel, and I'm someone that travels a lot for a lot of years, that always feels to me like the most pure, precious time because no one can get to you if you don't want them to. Even if you want them to, no one can get to you, and so it's really this kind of mini masterclass in surrendering to the present moment. And so I love meditating typically, but on this flight, I said I'm going to watch something, so none of the things I wanted to watch. Were working, and so I had about four hours left on this flight and I decide to watch a show I wouldn't necessarily typically watch. It was a show about sports gambling, not typically like what I'd be into, but I was like, all right, So I started watching a whole season of this show. And as I was watching the show, I really started to enjoy it, Like it was just a nice little fun laugh it was silly, it was ridiculous, and I really appreciated the lead actor, like I was just like, wow, like thanks for existing, Like I like what you brought to this. And I just really appreciated his face, like he had like some interesting like forehead wrinkles, and you know, I was just like, I dig it, thanks for this moment. So I watched the whole season and then I land in New York, hop in my car. I get to the beautiful one hotel right by Central Park, and I ended up taking a walk with friends. My favorite thing to do in New York is walk, especially if I'm buy the park, should walk in for hours and I go to sleep, I wake up, I wake up in the morning. I decide to like not I know I have I'm hosting this event that night. I know I'm going to be with Deepak, who many of you know one of my greatest teachers in life. He's a dear friend. Also worked with him for many years at Choper Global. So I was excited to just be with someone I find to be so special and fascinating. And I was like, you know what, put your phone away and go take a walk in the park and just let your heart lead you. So that's what I did. I went outside. I started walking down Central Park and the second I get to the mouth of the park where I'm going to enter, I just immediately have a smile on my face because some of the things I'm noticing is it is a perfect day in New York. The weather is incredible, the smells are there is like food in the air, there's flowers in the air. The sound of children laughing is coming from everywhere. I see bubbles out of the corner of my eye. I notice the sunshine. The leaves are swaying like it's just a remarkably beautiful day. So I walk in the park and I have a smile.
On my face.
And the second I get on like the first paved path, I look in front of me, and I see this face walking towards me, and I just go and walking towards me is the actor who I watched on television the night before on the plane, the lead actor of a show based in LA The very next morning, the first time I had ever seen him in anything, would never typically watch this show. I see him walking towards me, holding his kid's hands, and his wife was walking behind him, and he is looked up at the sun and his eye, his like forehead is furrowed, his eyebrows are furrowed, and I'm seeing this exact face that I saw and was watching on TV, like, I'm seeing the wrinkles in real time, directly in front of me. And he's looked up. He's looking up and he's just thinking, and he seems to be enjoying his wife and his children. And I stood there and he walked right by me. We almost brushed shoulders. I decided not to stop him because it didn't really feel necessary. You know, there was nothing really to say, Hi, I liked your show. It more so felt like a wink from God. You know, one of those moments where you're just like, wow, life is so aligned that I am manifesting and magnetizing experiences in real time that are feeding my curios and my life experience. And so I just stood there and I smiled at him. He never noticed me, he never looked down. And I just stood there and I smiled at him, and I appreciated it. And he walked by, and I took a deep breath, and I continued walking alone, and I just started laughing, like, honestly, probably like it might have looked very wild to someone that saw me out there. I was just like, Wow, God, what how silly? How special? And I contitued my walk. And as I contitying my walk up the path, I was struck with the sound of this really beautiful saxophone. And my favorite genre of music is Yat rock soft rock from the eighties and nineties. It's my jam, like it's all I listened to in the car Yeat Rock three eleven on Sirius XM. It is my jam. And I hear this song that reminds me of my childhood. I remember hearing this song play in the car over and over when I was a kid, when my mom and I would be commuting through crazy La traffic to go to school. We used to commute like an hour each way, and so I'm remembering, I'm hearing that song. It was George Michael Careless Whisper. It's like careless whisper.
Oh oh oh oh da na na.
No no, right for those that know the song. So the musician is playing this on his saxophone, and I just start walking towards it, and I'm probably, like, you know, like maybe five hundred feet away from him. And I noticed that as I'm in busy Central Park and it's a beautiful, perfect day and the wind is blowing, the sun is shiny. Even people that are walking directly in front of him don't see him, Like no one is stopping and registering this as special, even the ones that are next to him, like they're not even and glancing over at the sound of a saxophone right, like no one notices. And so I just stop, and I stop directly kind of adjacent from him, and I just put my hand on my heart and I close my eyes and I start dancing alone in Central Park and swaying my body and I'm standing there for what feels like forever, and He's like playing over and over and over again, and I'm just sitting there and it's like I have like missed filling my eyes and I started doing like breath work, and I just have like this palpable joy fill the depth of my heart and soul. It is just one of the most special things. I was just taking it in. It was just so special. And when he finished playing, I'm just like, I have the hugest smile on my face and I'm like laughing and I open my eyes and I look at him and he is staring directly at me with so much motion in his face, and he just starts pointing at me, and he kind of like the point you give, like you did it, like that kind of a point, and I point at him and then I start walking towards him, and I just like put my mama stay hands up and touched my forehead and I took a bow and I just looked at him and I was like, thank you so much, thank you so much for that, Thank you so much. That was so special, that made my day, Thank you so much. And we just looked at each other with such a deep appreciation for having both really seen one another in that special moment. And again, it didn't have to become anything. I didn't have to now take a selfie with him, and I didn't have to, like, you know, I didn't have to walk over all the way. It just it was like you shared your work with me and I received it deeply and thank you. And for him it was thank you for receiving it, you know. And so I continued walking and I'm still walking alone through the park. Now I'm like really laughing, and I remember the feeling that I had with these two back to back experiences on this perfect day in Central Park. As I'm getting ready to lead this beautiful dinner, I kept saying to myself, like, all of that for me, God, for me, all of that specialness, you gave that to me today. God, Like it makes me want to cry thinking about it now, because it was just like I just felt like I was the only person in the world who saw any of it or who any of it meant something to and that felt amazing tiny joy bit joy. So at the end of this amazing old beauty wellness oasis for the Advisory Chase dinner, I just got to shout all of those people out, not because I'm not getting to do that on this episode, but every person, every representative from each of those places that I shared. I had such a special night with like it was just everyone was. It was one of those nights where you're just like, oh, I'm surrounded by magic and everyone has a special heart and wow, this is lovely. But so after doing that dinner and everyone shared their story of joy, I decided to share that story with the audience, and I remember Deepak looked over to me. He said, wait, wait, wait, when were you in Central Park? What time you know? And I was like this afternoon and he was like I was walking alone in the park too, and I heard the saxophone player too and stopped to listen, and it was just like, oh God, that made the story even better, That made the day even like oh, we were both tapped into that frequent see and like you're you like swoon. And so when everyone started walking away, I said, I told Deebak, I said, you know, I didn't share the full story with you. Let me tell you a couple more details. I ended up filling them in on more about seeing the actor and all those things, and I remember he looked at me and he just.
Said, it's a sign. That's a sign.
And I was so swept up. Never stop to say a sign for what? But I didn't need to. It doesn't matter what it's a sign for, it is a sign. It did feel like this portal opened or I was reunited with this lens of joy that God gives me sometimes, and I'm just excited to be with it and to be noticing it so deeply, and my heart is so open to noticing it and seeing it so much more as we go into this next year and as I get ready to release, you know, work that just means so much to my heart and soul and my incarnation. So there we go, all right. I told myself I would keep this episode at thirty minutes. I did not, And here we are. So I love you. I'm so excited to be here in season four with you, so excited to really dive into conversations about integrity over this next few episodes with some special guests coming. And your soul work for today is take a moment and reflect on a tiny joy that you may have experienced, big, small, whatever. Don't read too much into you know, the macro or the micro of it, but something that stopped you in your tracks a little bit like I described, And I also want you to notice did you let yourself sink into it? Or did you notice it and move quickly through it? No right or wrong, but there is an invitation now that I kind of let you know how much you can savor those little special moments by noticing if you are pushing yourself too quickly through joy, there can be an opportunity and an invitation for next time you feel it, which you will soon to let yourself sink your teeth into it too. So I hope that story resonated. I hope you have a beautiful rest of your day and week. Are you able to lock into some of this soul homework and we will be back together next episode season four.
