4. She made a majordecision to leave college and moved
to New York City.

5. So, by thetimesheleft, it didn't fully maketo her but it
definitely didn't makesenseto just about anybody around her.
In looking at it aperspectiveof, "She'sdoing so well, how
could shepossibly leave?" or, "Why would sheleave?"

6. So, when shetakestheserisksand, certainly after leaving
collegeher lifehasessentially taking further and further risks
for that purpose, of really creating value, helping other people
and attaining emotional connection and joy for herself.

8. She'slucky to livein afamily wherecertainly in recent years
herself and also her mom, her sister and peoplevery close
loved ones, they'veall kind of collectively together become
risk takersso they'relucky to haveeach other that way but
definitely working with people, other family membersand
friends.

9. Energy sensitivepeopleand thepeoplethat sheworkswith,
becauseof thefact that you'reenergy sensitive;
you'rehardwired to really taketheserisksin your life, that's
what you'rebuilt for.

10. Energy sensitivepeople, theeasiest way to pinpoint an energy
sensitiveperson today, certainly in themainstream world
would beto identify somebody who has"incurable" anxiety,
ADD/ADHD panic disorder, any of thesehigh-level mental
health issuesthat
certainly exist in theworld, therearedefinitely peoplewho
haveall threeof thosethings: anxiety ADDand panic
disorder.

11. Thedifferencebetween thosepeopleand energy
sensitivepeoplewho perhapsidentify ashaving incurable
versionsof thosethings, isthat anybody with amental health
disorder often findsrelief, often findsthat it goes
away, certainly in somecapacity, if they'retaking medication,
if they arechanging their diets, their form of exercise, you
know something in lifethat they'rechanging with the
help of let'ssay atherapist, apsychologist, acoach, they're
seeing positiveresultsthat way.

12. How does she brush off the other people's energy
off of her?
Createthat senseof calm, comfort and easein her body. She
didn't want something that wasgoing to takeher an hour to
do or aday to do or that required that shegoesand
disconnect from theworld and unplug and sit in meditation
or yoga. Shedoeshavearegular practicein alot that stuff
but it wasvery important to her that shefindsaway to live
in themainstream world and apply somesort of tools,
techniqueswhatever it wasthat wasgoing to get her through
her day and allowsher to do it successfully and feel calm
and comfortable.

13. Sheuses"Yours, not Mine"tool that worksgreat too. It's
something that shecallsaffectionately the"Hang Out In-Between
your Eyes" tool.

14. In understanding energy sensitivity it'sreally just aparadigm
shift of looking at it in away that goesno, there'snothing
wrong here. You don't need to pop apill you don't even need
amodality per seto fix thisbecauseit'snot aproblem to be
fixed, it'sjust agift that, when you understand it and you can
harnessit.

15. It'sagreat conversation to havefor anybody whether
you areenergy sensitiveor not, you know how to deal with it
on adaily basisbecauseshe
think conversation and storytelling truly areso important, it's
what connectsusall,
whether you areenergy sensitiveor not, it'ssuch an important
point of relation and how
webuild relationships, and how webuild businesses, and how
webuild ideasand so on
and so forth.
