Well, I kind of, I have like a really kind of odd beginning.
Speaker AI had a past life memory when I was two and a half years old.
Speaker AI started asking my parents about my other parents and this other life that I had in Spain.
Speaker AAnd they were like.
Speaker AAnd my father was raised Roman Catholic, my mother Jewish.
Speaker ASo they weren't like, you know, they didn't know what I was talking about, but they were curious, they didn't shut me down.
Speaker AAnd they were like, you know, and they.
Speaker ASo they asked me questions about it.
Speaker AAnd shortly thereafter that I sort of was hearing like, you know, I could like I was having clairvoyant, clairaudient experiences where I could like hear beings from the other side.
Speaker AAnd so my parents didn't exactly know what to do, so they would take me to like astrologers and psychics and stuff.
Speaker AAnd they'd be like, oh, she's a psychic, she's a healer, this, that and the other.
Speaker AAnd so around nine years old, I read this book called Many Lives, Many masters by a Dr.
Speaker ABrian Weiss, who researched for many, many years talking with children under the age of five and doing past life regression therapy.
Speaker AAnd they would remember their previous lives and then he would take them to like the place they were telling the story about and like names and people.
Speaker AThere's like no way these children would have known of like, you know, Robert, such and such in some island off of Scotland.
Speaker ADo you know what I mean?
Speaker ASo like connecting all these dots and basically saying how before the age of five, the veil is really thin and you can remember.
Speaker ASo that sent me on this sort of very long, deep path of thinking for some answers and skill building around all of that.
Speaker ASo that's just been like a lifelong path for me.
Speaker AAnd when you go on a path like that, I've been on a priestess path and a shamanic path and all different energy healing modalities.
Speaker AOn those paths, you first go through your own self healing process so that you could then support others in their process.
Speaker AAnd so that's just sort of been like something that's just like an intuitive part of my life because I've been just trying to make sense of it all for the majority of my life.
Speaker AAnd then I'd say alongside that, in my work with Alicia and any other artists that I've worked with again, and myself being an artist, I had to push through tremendous fear to write songs and to sing songs and to do all that stuff.
Speaker AAnd so, and really understanding where that fear came from, where those blocks came from.
Speaker AAnd so I felt really Called.
Speaker ABecause in the music business, it's like you've got artists and then you've got business.
Speaker AAnd I found myself kind of wedged in this place of, like, I was good at both.
Speaker AI was an artist and I was good at business.
Speaker ABut I felt like a sense of responsibility to support artists in their own.
Speaker AIn their own kind of personal growth work.
Speaker ABecause, you know, you see, you see, you know, I remember once, like, meeting with Barbra Streisand, and she talks about this publicly, but you know how, like, she gets so nervous before she goes on stage.
Speaker ALike, sometimes she throws up.
Speaker ASo sometimes you see somebody who looks like the most confident badass in the whole world, and they're up on stage in an arena, but this person is struggling.
Speaker AAs we know, we've lost so many artists early.
Speaker ASo there is this interesting, like, dichotomy where artists are working with the most profound gift, that universal love.
Speaker ALanguage, in a way.
Speaker ABut at the same time, there's also darkness and pain and trauma there.
Speaker AAnd a lot of the industry kind of fuels that because there's this idea that you have to be in pain to write a good song or you have to be at.
Speaker ASo there's not really a support mechanism around how to heal through that.
Speaker ASo I found myself at the intersection of that and a lot of my relationships, and I felt like.
Speaker AI just felt a sense of responsibility there.
Speaker BThat reminds me of when Selena Gomez canceled her massive tour because of anxiety.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BAnd that seemed to have come as a big surprise to everyone.
Speaker BBut it's.
Speaker BIt can be terrifying even if you do it every day going out and there's 10, 20, 30,000 people there watching.
Speaker BYou should just have to cancel the whole thing.
Speaker BSo Barbra Streisand has that.
Speaker BTrue.
Speaker AShe's just immense pressure.
Speaker AYes, she's got performance anxiety in a big way, but it's just.
Speaker AIt's like even beyond that.
Speaker AI remember we came out, we worked really, really hard on Alicia's first album for many, many years before she came out.
Speaker AAnd then all of a sudden, it was like 10 million records and five Grammys or whatever the case.
Speaker AAnd all of a sudden, you're on this.
Speaker AYou go from nobody knowing you to everybody knowing you and being.
Speaker AWe put these artists on pedestals like they're gods and goddesses and they're just human.
Speaker AThey shit like everybody else.
Speaker APeople, they put on their pants like everybody else.
Speaker AThey had them.
Speaker AIt's a lot of pressure.
Speaker AAnd then after that, then you've got the industry pressure of like, well, are you going to do it again.
Speaker ADo can you sell another 10 million records?
Speaker AAre you gonna come out with another hit?
Speaker ASo it's like there's so much psychic pressure coming from your fans, from the business, from everything.
Speaker AAnd you're like, you know, you become trapped pretty quickly.
Speaker AYou're in this like goldfish bowl, you know, I remember like going and doing like after party gigs and it's like you're sitting there at a club and everyone's just like looking at you, you know, so it's very.
Speaker AIt's not real life.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker BAnd now with phones, it must be even weirder too.
Speaker BPeople just taking pictures of you and stuff.
Speaker AIt's.
Speaker AIt's the weirdest.
Speaker AParties, planet Earth.
Speaker AIt's just bizarre.
Speaker ALike we, you know, we have a cultural issue, I believe, with.
Speaker AWith what.
Speaker AWith what we.
Speaker AWith what we project onto celebrity.
Speaker AAnd I think it creates a lot of mental health issues for people.
Speaker AAnd there's no support around that for sure.
Speaker CAnd you had firsthand knowledge with Alicia being so close to watching that go on.
Speaker CSomeone I think of when we speak of the pressure is like Justin Bieber, for example.
Speaker CThat poor gentleman was going through all of that in one of the hardest times to live as a man, just as a male.
Speaker CAnd for him, I could only imagine what that would have done to someone's.
Speaker AYou know, mental and a baby.
Speaker CSo I know a lot of people like to dump on that kid.
Speaker AYeah, he's not developed.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker AHow old was he when he came on the scene?
Speaker AHe was a child.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BA baby that for some reason grown men hated with a passion.
Speaker BI've never seen anything like that.
Speaker CIt was weird.
Speaker BEvery discussion anytime if, if a man is like over 35, they would hate him for like he killed their dog or something.
Speaker BIt was so weird.
Speaker BJust cause it's a dog and because.
Speaker AIt'S just again because that, those, those men are wounded and insecure in their own shit.
Speaker AAnd he's holding up a mirror and triggering that.
Speaker AAnd that's why I'm like, everybody needs to heal their shit.
Speaker ABecause we're all out here projectile vomiting our unhealed wounds on each other.
Speaker AActing self righteous, period.
Speaker CYou're absolutely right.
Speaker BI'm gonna send this video.
Speaker ASend it?
Speaker AYeah, yeah, it should send it along with a number of.
Speaker ASomebody who can help their asses.
Speaker AIt's okay, we can all do it together.
Speaker AJust face your shit.
Speaker AYou go through it.
Speaker AI promise.
Speaker BI have a question.
Speaker BI'm going to raise my hand just for the delays and stuff.
Speaker BYou don't have to answer this.
Speaker BQuestion.
Speaker BSo I'm still trying to understand the scope of everything that you do.
Speaker BBut from what I understand, part of it has to do with.
Speaker BWith you seeing things other people can't see and helping them connect with their past.
Speaker BMaybe.
Speaker BNow, here's my question.
Speaker BAt least I believe that some people are just dicks, right?
Speaker BDo you ever get somebody and you just feel.
Speaker AThe dick energy?
Speaker BYeah, you just get a client who's like, I have these issues.
Speaker BAnd you just feel them and you're like, oh, he's just an asshole.
Speaker BLike, does that ever happen?
Speaker BOr you're like, I can't help you.
Speaker BThat's just who you are.
Speaker AThankfully, like, I don't get that type of.
Speaker AI don't like because, you know, I'm not an energetic match for that type of energy.
Speaker ASo people aren't trying to come to me.
Speaker ABut what I won't do is I won't.
Speaker AI won't spin around in a sort of circle with somebody who's really committed to their victim story.
Speaker AThis.
Speaker AThis keeps happening to me and these people kind of like it's a mindset game.
Speaker AAnd if you don't have the capacity to like.
Speaker AAnd I don't feel like you're really bout it with like getting up out of a situation you're in and you just are.
Speaker AYou're just committed to your story that life is happening to you.
Speaker AAnd like, I can't help you.
Speaker AI can't change your mindset.
Speaker AYou have to want it.
Speaker ASo, like, that's the only thing I'm not.
Speaker AI don't.
Speaker AI don't.
Speaker AI can't.
Speaker AI can't really get with people who don't have, like, the energy to.
Speaker AWho really want to break through whatever it is they're dealing with.
Speaker AAnd I don't believe people are just dicks because they're just innately dicks.
Speaker AYou're a dick because, you know, some shit happened to you when you were a kid and you disassociated out of your body and you weren't given the love you needed and you're projecting that on everybody else.
Speaker ABut if you want to heal.
Speaker BHear that, Anthony.
Speaker AI've got resources for you.
Speaker BOkay?
Speaker CSo how do you begin that?
Speaker CHow does someone begin that healing process?
Speaker CIs it just accepting that they are broken?
Speaker AAnd it's not even broken, it's just wounded, Right?
Speaker ABecause it's like, at the end of the day, the truth of who we are is that we are.
Speaker AWe already are whole.
Speaker AIt's just that these things have happened and we've Forgotten the truth of who we are.
Speaker ASo first, it's just like, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker AYou have to just get to that point.
Speaker AYou're like, I'm done with this.
Speaker AI want something different for myself.
Speaker AAnd that's usually when somebody finds me, you know what I mean?
Speaker CRight.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker CSo they wouldn't be an asshole, because they're definitely trying to come to you to help because they've submitted to the idea that they need help, but they.
Speaker AWanted it and they want to change.
Speaker AYeah, exactly.
Speaker AI can't help people who don't want to change, and I have no interest in that.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker COne thing you had talked about was how so many artists, so many great artists write from a place of pain.
Speaker CWhy do you think it's so much easier for artists to be able to write from darkness as opposed to.
Speaker CAs opposed to when they're happy and feeling great?
Speaker AWell, I think that in general, we could all agree that the most kind of, like, growth in our lives come out of those challenging situations, Right?
Speaker ALike, the people that were the hardest for me to deal with that, like, I'm like, you know, or like, maybe I have, like, you were, like, an enemy or whatever.
Speaker ALike, at the end of the day, like, I had, like, a quantum level of growth behind my experience with that person.
Speaker ASo there's, like, a lot to pull from in any type of storytelling.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AWhereas if it's like.
Speaker AIf it's, like, good all the time, you're kind of like just happy love songs or whatever, you know?
Speaker AAnd I think that we are all carrying around varying degrees of pain.
Speaker AAnd when you can hear through a song that someone understands and sees and relates to your pain, you know, I think part of the issue is we're just used to connecting to each other through pain.
Speaker AAnd that goes across the board where, like, we recognize pain bodies in each other.
Speaker AAnd so most of our culture and music and everything is built around a lot of that.
Speaker AAnd I think it's just.
Speaker AI think it's part of our sort of collective, like, maturing process.
Speaker AIt's just where we are collectively.
Speaker AAnd I think.
Speaker AAnd I also think that, though, that with some artists, it's like, I've talked to certain.
Speaker ALike, when I sort of.
Speaker AI sort of kind of approached certain people in the industry, and I was like, hey, I want to do this thing, and I want to help.
Speaker AI want to help artists heal and stuff.
Speaker AAnd they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker AYou know, you might steal the magic.
Speaker AYou know what I mean, so there's this notion that penis comes from that place, and so it's a little.
