Meredith Oke:

Hi, Katelyn Simmons. Welcome to the QVC podcast.

Katelyn Simmons:

Hello. Thank you so much, Meredith. I'm so

Katelyn Simmons:

excited to be here.

Meredith Oke:

So am I. I've been following your story, you

Meredith Oke:

know, since you took the certification a couple

Meredith Oke:

years ago. You were, like, one of the OG early

Meredith Oke:

adopters on that, and I've always wanted to chat

Meredith Oke:

with you about. And it just kind of now, you

Meredith Oke:

know, and then you were like, oh, she's having a

Meredith Oke:

baby. I'll leave her alone. And now your baby's

Meredith Oke:

one year old, so time to do a podcast.

Katelyn Simmons:

I'm so excited. And you're the first podcast I've

Katelyn Simmons:

ever been on, so this is, like, ultra special for

Katelyn Simmons:

me.

Meredith Oke:

Oh, well, I am honored, and I'm excited to tell

Meredith Oke:

your story and hear your. Hear your journey and

Meredith Oke:

share it with everyone, because it's a good one.

Meredith Oke:

And I also just want to mention Caitlin's.

Meredith Oke:

Katelyn's baby turned 1 on May 15, and my

Meredith Oke:

youngest turned 11 on May 15. And Nico Kennedy,

Meredith Oke:

who, many of you know, had her fifth baby on May

Meredith Oke:

15th. So we're just gonna all celebrate the May

Meredith Oke:

15th quantum babies. Okay, so you started your

Meredith Oke:

career in wellness as a massage therapist, and

Meredith Oke:

that took you through some experiences that led

Meredith Oke:

you down other paths. So let's start there.

Katelyn Simmons:

Okay. Well, 18, fresh out of high school. I knew

Katelyn Simmons:

I wanted to be in the holistic health world, and

Katelyn Simmons:

I didn't exactly know where that was going to

Katelyn Simmons:

lead. I thought maybe acupuncture or maybe become

Katelyn Simmons:

a naturopath or something. But I started with

Katelyn Simmons:

massage therapy and the local holistic health

Katelyn Simmons:

practitioner program near me, and then ended up

Katelyn Simmons:

falling in love with massage and built my own

Katelyn Simmons:

practice. After working for other people, I kind

Katelyn Simmons:

of got that entrepreneurial itch and was like, I

Katelyn Simmons:

gotta work for myself, and just started working

Katelyn Simmons:

with people and loving, helping people, because

Katelyn Simmons:

it's like, it was so tangible getting to put your

Katelyn Simmons:

hands on someone and then they come in feeling

Katelyn Simmons:

terrible and get up, and then they feel great.

Katelyn Simmons:

But I started to see where it wasn't, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

lasting. It was like, I could help them

Katelyn Simmons:

temporarily. But so many people were coming to me

Katelyn Simmons:

because they had chronic pain or chronic illness

Katelyn Simmons:

or whatever was chronic. And I had. Had. I got

Katelyn Simmons:

diagnosed with Lyme disease back when I was 13.

Katelyn Simmons:

So that was also something in my story where I

Katelyn Simmons:

was, like, also trying to figure out what was

Katelyn Simmons:

going on with me and how I could get really

Katelyn Simmons:

better all the way. So that led me to the

Katelyn Simmons:

lymphatic system. Once I learned about how, you

Katelyn Simmons:

know, why were people so puffy and why would why

Katelyn Simmons:

would the inflammation go down when we would do

Katelyn Simmons:

massage? And so I got trained in lymphatic

Katelyn Simmons:

enhancement technology and bought this fancy

Katelyn Simmons:

equipment for my office and then started seeing

Katelyn Simmons:

better results with my clients. But still, it was

Katelyn Simmons:

like, okay, well, why is their lymphatic system

Katelyn Simmons:

not ever doing it on their own? Like, why is it

Katelyn Simmons:

still stuck? And why are people feeling great

Katelyn Simmons:

maybe for a week or two after they see me? And

Katelyn Simmons:

then having this downhill slump? I need to come

Katelyn Simmons:

back. Because it kind of felt like, wow, these

Katelyn Simmons:

are lifelong clients. That's not. That didn't sit

Katelyn Simmons:

right with me because that's what the Western

Katelyn Simmons:

model felt like.

Meredith Oke:

Right.

Katelyn Simmons:

And I had already been through that rabbit hole.

Meredith Oke:

You wanted to be part of something that was

Meredith Oke:

actually helping them stay better.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah.

Meredith Oke:

Not just have a temporary and.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah. Like, be empowered. So then that led me to

Katelyn Simmons:

becoming an integrative health practitioner and

Katelyn Simmons:

learning about supplements and getting trained in

Katelyn Simmons:

all these different things and just certification

Katelyn Simmons:

after certification searching. Meanwhile, I was

Katelyn Simmons:

still not feeling my best. And I would go into

Katelyn Simmons:

work and love my clients and help my clients and

Katelyn Simmons:

then basically go home feeling terrible after and

Katelyn Simmons:

picking up their energy, feeling drained, feeling

Katelyn Simmons:

exhausted, and just. Just knew something was

Katelyn Simmons:

missing. But I couldn't figure it out. Right.

Meredith Oke:

Because you've done all the things. You had the

Meredith Oke:

massage training, you had the lymphatic training,

Meredith Oke:

you had integrative holistic supplement training.

Meredith Oke:

And it.

Katelyn Simmons:

It's.

Meredith Oke:

That seems like all the things.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah. And it did.

Meredith Oke:

It feels like that should cover it.

Katelyn Simmons:

It did.

Meredith Oke:

When most people enter a holistic healing,

Meredith Oke:

they're like, yeah, that sounds good. That's all

Meredith Oke:

the things.

Katelyn Simmons:

Exactly.

Meredith Oke:

Right.

Katelyn Simmons:

And, you know, I really didn't know there was

Katelyn Simmons:

more. The only thing I knew I hadn't looked into

Katelyn Simmons:

was energy. Right. But as my belief system as a

Katelyn Simmons:

Christian growing up with this, you know, I guess

Katelyn Simmons:

the paradigm is you stay away from that stuff.

Katelyn Simmons:

Like, I remember feeling so uncomfortable in my

Katelyn Simmons:

massage class just because people were talking

Katelyn Simmons:

about crystals. Now I laugh, but it is something

Katelyn Simmons:

that's real. People are really actually afraid of

Katelyn Simmons:

a lot of this side of things that we're talking

Katelyn Simmons:

about because they don't understand.

Meredith Oke:

I would love to understand a little bit more

Meredith Oke:

about that because I actually did not know that

Meredith Oke:

until recently. Until, you know, we. I started

Meredith Oke:

getting involved in this world and, you know,

Meredith Oke:

switched from creating corporate consulting

Meredith Oke:

programs to helping create quantum biology

Meredith Oke:

programs. And this has come up several times with

Meredith Oke:

different people. And I was raised in the

Meredith Oke:

Anglican Church, which in the United States is

Meredith Oke:

the Episcopalian church. We didn't really have

Meredith Oke:

rules like that. It was a very kind of standard

Meredith Oke:

religion where you went and you, you know, they

Meredith Oke:

didn't really say much about what you did outside

Meredith Oke:

of church. And I just, I didn't know that there

Meredith Oke:

was this deep belief where. So if you could

Meredith Oke:

explain it to me. Is it. My understanding is that

Meredith Oke:

it's like seen as like a form of maybe witchcraft

Meredith Oke:

or.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yes.

Meredith Oke:

Evil. Evil manipulation of things that we

Meredith Oke:

shouldn't be messing around with.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah, it's.

Meredith Oke:

Or how is it framed?

Katelyn Simmons:

I think it's probably different each person and

Katelyn Simmons:

what they were taught and what the environment

Katelyn Simmons:

probably felt like as a child or what they were

Katelyn Simmons:

taught in church. For me it was looked at like

Katelyn Simmons:

it's New Age. New Age was just basically this far

Katelyn Simmons:

off thing that you didn't even want to learn

Katelyn Simmons:

about. Like it's evil, it's wrong, it's

Katelyn Simmons:

witchcraft. And that was a whole. That was where

Katelyn Simmons:

my paradigm started to shift was because I was

Katelyn Simmons:

thrown right into it. I went from like sheltered

Katelyn Simmons:

little Caitlyn Christian everything to massage

Katelyn Simmons:

school where then I. Everything in my life,

Katelyn Simmons:

everyone that came in was more New age than

Katelyn Simmons:

anything I had learned. So. And it was just

Katelyn Simmons:

something that you didn't know about or like

Katelyn Simmons:

crystals, those were evil. You see a crystal

Katelyn Simmons:

shop, you don't go in there. That's witchcraft.

Katelyn Simmons:

There's only witches in there. Like it's. And

Katelyn Simmons:

it's not really talked about a lot. It's just you

Katelyn Simmons:

just know you, you're not supposed to do it and

Katelyn Simmons:

you don't learn anything about it or. Does that

Katelyn Simmons:

make sense?

Meredith Oke:

Yes, it's just sort of like an off limits. Yeah,

Meredith Oke:

an off limits topic. And yeah, like I could, I

Meredith Oke:

can kind of understand because as with anything,

Meredith Oke:

if you take it to its extreme or you do it

Meredith Oke:

without ethics or, or grounding or, you know, you

Meredith Oke:

have an experienced mentor or guide, like the New

Meredith Oke:

Age movement could go way off the rails. So. Or

Meredith Oke:

the, the things that are involved in it. So I do

Meredith Oke:

understand from a certain perspective that you

Meredith Oke:

would want to protect people from that.

Katelyn Simmons:

And I think then as someone who is really like,

Katelyn Simmons:

I'm really strong in my belief. I'm not. I didn't

Katelyn Simmons:

like leave. I still love Jesus. I'm still a

Katelyn Simmons:

Christian. Like it's just hard for me to want to

Katelyn Simmons:

be connected to the religion side of it because

Katelyn Simmons:

then I feel like it's this weird in between of

Katelyn Simmons:

just trying to explain. Like this is just energy.

Katelyn Simmons:

This is just how, if you believe in God, this is

Katelyn Simmons:

how God made you. This is how you're Made like

Katelyn Simmons:

it's what you're made of. Yeah, just simplifying

Katelyn Simmons:

it and breaking it down. Like, I don't think

Katelyn Simmons:

anyone needs to be afraid of this stuff. And, you

Katelyn Simmons:

know, fear. We know fear is such a low frequency.

Katelyn Simmons:

Like, that's like the worst frequency to be

Katelyn Simmons:

vibrating at. And so helping people switch from

Katelyn Simmons:

fear to actual discernment, where you're really

Katelyn Simmons:

using critical thinking skills and actually

Katelyn Simmons:

looking at things. And, you know, if you read the

Katelyn Simmons:

Bible and you believe the Bible, the Bible just

Katelyn Simmons:

clearly says what to do. And the Bible doesn't

Katelyn Simmons:

say anything about, like, specifically New Age or

Katelyn Simmons:

energy or frequency. And actually, as I've

Katelyn Simmons:

learned more, it strengthened my faith, and it's

Katelyn Simmons:

made me look at the things I've grown up with and

Katelyn Simmons:

read in the Bible and made me realize, wow,

Katelyn Simmons:

laying on of hands, taking every thought captive,

Katelyn Simmons:

like distance walking on water. Like, all of the

Katelyn Simmons:

miracles, they make sense. It's like, whoa, we

Katelyn Simmons:

live in a quantum universe, and that's how we

Katelyn Simmons:

were created. So I think everybody, if you've

Katelyn Simmons:

struggled with that, you really just try to have

Katelyn Simmons:

an open mind and look at the science, look at

Katelyn Simmons:

the. Look at what everything on your podcast,

Katelyn Simmons:

like, everything points back to strengthening

Katelyn Simmons:

your faith. If that's where you come from, if.

Meredith Oke:

That makes sense, that makes perfect sense. And,

Meredith Oke:

Katelyn, you explain that really beautifully. So

Meredith Oke:

I'm really glad you're doing this podcast, and I

Meredith Oke:

hope you do a lot more because you have really

Meredith Oke:

connected, I think, made a connection that is

Meredith Oke:

going to be really profound and powerful for

Meredith Oke:

people.

Katelyn Simmons:

I hope so. I hope so, because I just see, you

Katelyn Simmons:

know, I don't believe that anyone was put on this

Katelyn Simmons:

Earth to have to live a painful life. I think

Katelyn Simmons:

that everyone is worthy and capable and, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

it's your birthright to be healthy and blessed

Katelyn Simmons:

and abundant. And for some reason, a lot of stuff

Katelyn Simmons:

in religion says otherwise. And I just want to

Katelyn Simmons:

shed light on that. Like, and this, all. This all

Katelyn Simmons:

points to that. That, like, we're energy, we can

Katelyn Simmons:

raise our vibration, we can raise our frequency.

Katelyn Simmons:

It's just. It's incredible.

Meredith Oke:

It really is. And I love the word that you used

Meredith Oke:

instead of fear. You didn't say faith, you didn't

Meredith Oke:

say trust. You said discernment. And I think that

Meredith Oke:

is a really good word choice and really profound

Meredith Oke:

because nobody's saying, like, oh, just believe

Meredith Oke:

everything we say. It's. Use your. Use your best

Meredith Oke:

judgment at what makes sense. As you explore

Meredith Oke:

these new paradigms, as you explore the available

Meredith Oke:

research, as you connect to your own inner

Meredith Oke:

wisdom, what feels true and what, what does the

Meredith Oke:

evidence point to? And that's not just fully

Meredith Oke:

rejecting something out of fear and not just

Meredith Oke:

fully embracing something out of. Out of faith,

Meredith Oke:

but moving toward it.

Katelyn Simmons:

I mean, then you'd be watching TV and say, oh,

Katelyn Simmons:

yeah, that's true, that's true. Everything. Like,

Katelyn Simmons:

that's terrible. I tell people that all the time.

Katelyn Simmons:

Like, don't take what I say for truth. Look it up

Katelyn Simmons:

yourself. I even got a message recently, someone

Katelyn Simmons:

saying, like, can you tell me? Like, she was

Katelyn Simmons:

really intense about one of the products I share.

Katelyn Simmons:

I shared about Sheilajit. And it was like, well,

Katelyn Simmons:

what's this? What's that? I'm like, I don't know

Katelyn Simmons:

all the specifics. You can look at all the brands

Katelyn Simmons:

and make a decision for yourself. You don't have

Katelyn Simmons:

to use what I use. So we have to use discernment

Katelyn Simmons:

in everything? Yes, everything we buy. When you

Katelyn Simmons:

go to the grocery store, use your critical

Katelyn Simmons:

thinking and pick what works for you.

Meredith Oke:

Yes, absolutely. And your discernment. When

Meredith Oke:

listening to podcasts, I feel like sometimes

Meredith Oke:

you'll have a favorite podcast host and they'll

Meredith Oke:

be talking about a thing and you're like, oh, I

Meredith Oke:

better take that or do it or order it. It's like,

Meredith Oke:

maybe, maybe not. Again, your inner discernment

Meredith Oke:

on it. Okay, so let's circle back to your

Meredith Oke:

journey. So you had become very well educated in

Meredith Oke:

the kind of baseline natural health modalities

Meredith Oke:

that a lot of us know. Massage therapy, lymphatic

Meredith Oke:

drainage, supplements. And it helped. But you

Meredith Oke:

still, even though you felt intellectually like,

Meredith Oke:

okay, these are all the things you felt inside.

Meredith Oke:

Like, there's something, there's something more.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah. And my, my body was screaming at me too.

Katelyn Simmons:

Like, it. There was clear signs, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

something's missing. Because I was still

Katelyn Simmons:

struggling, not healing from trauma I had been

Katelyn Simmons:

through. I'd been through a lot of trauma care.

Katelyn Simmons:

Like, I had chronic lower back pain from an

Katelyn Simmons:

accident I had been in. I had anxiety,

Katelyn Simmons:

depression, ptsd. I couldn't drive my car to my

Katelyn Simmons:

office without having to plan to literally be

Katelyn Simmons:

able to pull over and work through a panic

Katelyn Simmons:

attack. Like, I was holding it together with

Katelyn Simmons:

trying to help my clients and trying to help

Katelyn Simmons:

myself. And just literally by the end of the day,

Katelyn Simmons:

it was like there were days I would crawl up the

Katelyn Simmons:

stairs to my apartment. Like, it was just so

Katelyn Simmons:

intense. Like, I knew something was wrong, but I

Katelyn Simmons:

was like, how could something be wrong when I

Katelyn Simmons:

have a sauna? I had a full size sauna in my tiny

Katelyn Simmons:

apartment in Southern California. My poor husband

Katelyn Simmons:

was like, everything is well. Like, I had

Katelyn Simmons:

everything you could possibly imagine that you

Katelyn Simmons:

know, of in the root cause community. And I. So

Katelyn Simmons:

it got to a point where I just was like,

Katelyn Simmons:

something has to change. I. And I made a

Katelyn Simmons:

decision. I remember the day I was looking at my

Katelyn Simmons:

life, like, something has to change. I have to

Katelyn Simmons:

heal. I have to get better. I have to find what

Katelyn Simmons:

I'm missing. And so I prayed, and it was like

Katelyn Simmons:

this divine download that I can't even. I don't

Katelyn Simmons:

even know how. It just was like, Search Energy

Katelyn Simmons:

healing. Christian energy healing on Instagram.

Katelyn Simmons:

It was so clear. It was like. And I never had

Katelyn Simmons:

thought of that. I was like, christian energy.

Meredith Oke:

Christian energy healing. I love how specific

Meredith Oke:

these intuitive hits can be. Beautiful. Okay.

Katelyn Simmons:

It was crazy. And so I did. And it's still. It

Katelyn Simmons:

still just makes me laugh because it's like, wow.

Katelyn Simmons:

It. It. And it's been there, like, so many. After

Katelyn Simmons:

I, you know, told my parents about it and worked

Katelyn Simmons:

through the certifications and all these things,

Katelyn Simmons:

my mom was like, you know, how many people have

Katelyn Simmons:

told us about this, like, over the years, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

we've been.

Meredith Oke:

So anyways, told them about Christian energy.

Katelyn Simmons:

Healing, like, specifically the emotion code and,

Katelyn Simmons:

like, energy work, like, releasing trapped

Katelyn Simmons:

emotions. And, you know, none of us, like, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

what is that? Who cares? So it took, like, really

Katelyn Simmons:

getting to a breaking point and just being

Katelyn Simmons:

desperate and praying and making that decision.

Katelyn Simmons:

I'm gonna change. My life has to shift. And then

Katelyn Simmons:

I came across on Instagram from that search

Katelyn Simmons:

Christian, who did the emotion code. And so I

Katelyn Simmons:

clicked on it and she was fully booked. And so I

Katelyn Simmons:

thought, okay, I'm just gonna look up what is the

Katelyn Simmons:

emotion code. If she thinks it's okay, I better

Katelyn Simmons:

look into it because at this point, I have to

Katelyn Simmons:

have an open mind. And, you know, I. I had

Katelyn Simmons:

already been doing, like, bioresonance in my

Katelyn Simmons:

practice. I had some of the frequency stuff.

Katelyn Simmons:

Like, my lymphatic machine was frequency back

Katelyn Simmons:

when I was 13, that one of the things that really

Katelyn Simmons:

helped me from Lyme so that I could be well

Katelyn Simmons:

enough to go to high school was pulsed

Katelyn Simmons:

electromagnetic field therapy. And we knew about

Katelyn Simmons:

red light. Like, we knew a lot of the frequency

Katelyn Simmons:

stuff, but not to this extent. So anyways, I went

Katelyn Simmons:

to the emotion code website and signed up for the

Katelyn Simmons:

certification that day. I'm going to learn how to

Katelyn Simmons:

do this and teach myself. I love it. And that,

Katelyn Simmons:

that was the start because I started learning,

Katelyn Simmons:

like, Dr. Bradley Nelson puts it into really

Katelyn Simmons:

amazing. Like, just. He breaks it down so good.

Katelyn Simmons:

Like, your energy, you're made of 99.99999%

Katelyn Simmons:

energy. And you have emotions, and your organs

Katelyn Simmons:

create emotions, and if you don't let them go and

Katelyn Simmons:

they get trapped, they're going to block energy,

Katelyn Simmons:

and so you're going to be in pain, and they can

Katelyn Simmons:

affect everything in your life. So then I learned

Katelyn Simmons:

how to muscle test, which I had been wanting to

Katelyn Simmons:

learn muscle testing for so long because there

Katelyn Simmons:

were chiropractors I went to who did it, And I'd

Katelyn Simmons:

always ask them. I was like, how do you learn how

Katelyn Simmons:

to muscle test? I want to know, how do you do

Katelyn Simmons:

this? And they'd all tell me, oh, you have to go

Katelyn Simmons:

to chiropractor school. Like, okay. So that's why

Katelyn Simmons:

I made a muscle testing course.

Meredith Oke:

I learned it out of the back of the Power vs

Meredith Oke:

Force book, but.

Katelyn Simmons:

I wish I had that one, too. Like, you can learn

Katelyn Simmons:

it on YouTube. Like, it's so. Yeah, it's. It's

Katelyn Simmons:

how our bodies were made, right? We're like.

Katelyn Simmons:

We're drawn to truth, and we're repelled by

Katelyn Simmons:

false, like, lies. So anyways, that was the

Katelyn Simmons:

start, and so I got really obsessed with it. I

Katelyn Simmons:

started using it on all my clients, and that

Katelyn Simmons:

brought up the fear in my clients. And so from

Katelyn Simmons:

right then, as I was starting to explain it to

Katelyn Simmons:

these people in person, I realized I felt like I

Katelyn Simmons:

had this mission. I need to demystify this and

Katelyn Simmons:

help people see. Like, this is not evil. This is

Katelyn Simmons:

how your body was made. Emotions are real. And

Katelyn Simmons:

just talking about your emotions isn't always

Katelyn Simmons:

going to be what works for me. That didn't work.

Katelyn Simmons:

I went to therapy. It felt like it just made

Katelyn Simmons:

things worse. So this was such an incredible

Katelyn Simmons:

tool. And then I started seeing it transform my

Katelyn Simmons:

clients. Right there, we'd feel energy move like

Katelyn Simmons:

wind, and my client would look at me like, did

Katelyn Simmons:

you feel that? Or someone would turn bright red

Katelyn Simmons:

when an emotion left. And it was like, whoa, this

Katelyn Simmons:

is real. This is tangible. Like, this is. This is

Katelyn Simmons:

the next thing. Like, we have to do energy.

Katelyn Simmons:

That's the missing piece. So then I was, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

searching on YouTube and looking for things about

Katelyn Simmons:

the emotion code and came across the AO scan,

Katelyn Simmons:

which, if you're on my page, you know, I talk

Katelyn Simmons:

about that all the time, which is just a

Katelyn Simmons:

frequency. Another frequency tool.

Meredith Oke:

Okay.

Katelyn Simmons:

And that. That was the next thing. So between the

Katelyn Simmons:

emotion code and the AO scan, within a couple of

Katelyn Simmons:

months, I closed down my brick and mortar because

Katelyn Simmons:

I realized I need to go virtual. I need to get

Katelyn Simmons:

this word out to the masses. I need to go home

Katelyn Simmons:

and Heal and let my body heal. And it was just

Katelyn Simmons:

like I started having 180 after 180, after 180.

Katelyn Simmons:

And there's been no looking back. It's just been.

Katelyn Simmons:

And then I found you. And then I found the

Katelyn Simmons:

Quantum Biology collective. And I was like, whoa,

Katelyn Simmons:

this is also cool. So I've been geeking out ever

Katelyn Simmons:

since and just cannot get enough. It's just. It's

Katelyn Simmons:

like, it makes it all come together.

Meredith Oke:

Beautiful. What an incredible journey. Okay, so

Meredith Oke:

to walk us through a little bit, I mean, like, to

Meredith Oke:

get super specific but high level. The emotion

Meredith Oke:

code, how does that work?

Katelyn Simmons:

So the emotion code is basically just using your

Katelyn Simmons:

own body's subconscious and nervous system via

Katelyn Simmons:

muscle testing. So, like, you can press on your

Katelyn Simmons:

body and you'll hold strong if you get an answer

Katelyn Simmons:

from your nervous system. Yes. Or your body will

Katelyn Simmons:

go weak if it's a no. And so Dr. Bradley Nelson,

Katelyn Simmons:

you can look him up and look, read his book. It's

Katelyn Simmons:

like, I don't know, $15 book. And you can learn

Katelyn Simmons:

how to do it yourself, which I love. I'm like,

Katelyn Simmons:

anything you can give people. Like, that's what

Katelyn Simmons:

the whole quantum biology is. It's like so many

Katelyn Simmons:

free things people can do and totally transform

Katelyn Simmons:

their life so fast. It's like, yeah, everyone

Katelyn Simmons:

needs it anyway. So you identify a trapped

Katelyn Simmons:

emotion. So we could go like, do I have a trapped

Katelyn Simmons:

emotion? Yes. And then you can ask your body

Katelyn Simmons:

questions, where is that trapped emotion? Your

Katelyn Simmons:

liver? And then simply release it with, I guess

Katelyn Simmons:

you could say, similar to acupuncture, you swipe

Katelyn Simmons:

over your governing meridian three times and the

Katelyn Simmons:

emotional energy leaves. Did that kind of wrap up

Katelyn Simmons:

what it is?

Meredith Oke:

Yes.

Katelyn Simmons:

And so then he goes deeper into the body code and

Katelyn Simmons:

the belief code. And it's really cool, but it's

Katelyn Simmons:

like a tool I think everyone should know how to

Katelyn Simmons:

do.

Meredith Oke:

Yes. You know, there are so many, you know, as

Meredith Oke:

you were just saying, like, keeping our circadian

Meredith Oke:

rhythms regulated, like that is just. Should be

Meredith Oke:

sort of a basic thing that everyone understands

Meredith Oke:

coming out of the gate.

Katelyn Simmons:

Right.

Meredith Oke:

Like, you mostly, if you're at all health

Meredith Oke:

focused, you mostly know, like, to eat healthy

Meredith Oke:

food and, like, drink clean water. And there,

Meredith Oke:

there are so many things that could just be

Meredith Oke:

foundational pieces of information that we all

Meredith Oke:

have, that we all do ourselves, that we don't

Meredith Oke:

have to outsource to other people. We don't have

Meredith Oke:

to hire if you have, if you do have us. I'm big

Meredith Oke:

on working with practitioners for sure, but

Meredith Oke:

there, there are so many things we can do just in

Meredith Oke:

Our day to day lives that we're not, you know,

Meredith Oke:

that we've been told are really complicated. And

Meredith Oke:

I had a really good conversation with Eileen

Meredith Oke:

McKusick about that where she does the bio. Like

Meredith Oke:

her biofield tuning.

Katelyn Simmons:

She was one of the ones that, like, once I read

Katelyn Simmons:

her books, I was like, chakras, there's nothing

Katelyn Simmons:

wrong with chakras. It's part of our body.

Katelyn Simmons:

Because that was another big one in the Christian

Katelyn Simmons:

community. I was like, oh, I love her so much.

Katelyn Simmons:

Like, I've read her books so many times because

Katelyn Simmons:

she's so incredible.

Meredith Oke:

Oh, I love that. Yes. No, exactly. Well, I was

Meredith Oke:

just going to say it's like we had this

Meredith Oke:

conversation where we've sort of been led to

Meredith Oke:

believe that trauma is like really embedded and

Meredith Oke:

complex and you can't get rid of it. And

Meredith Oke:

unresolved trauma absolutely has cascading

Meredith Oke:

effects throughout our lives, but it doesn't have

Meredith Oke:

to be unresolved.

Katelyn Simmons:

Exactly, exactly. And I had been at. I was at

Katelyn Simmons:

that point where I thought, because I had had

Katelyn Simmons:

like a really scary thing happen to me and then

Katelyn Simmons:

got rear ended on the freeway a couple weeks

Katelyn Simmons:

later. And it felt like I was never gonna. It

Katelyn Simmons:

took me years to heal from it because it. And it

Katelyn Simmons:

felt like it was gonna live with me forever. But

Katelyn Simmons:

then as soon as I started releasing trapped

Katelyn Simmons:

emotions and I did biofield tuning eventually

Katelyn Simmons:

too, once I found her, I was like, I bought her

Katelyn Simmons:

tuning forks, I took her self course and like

Katelyn Simmons:

started doing it all. But it was like, oh, the

Katelyn Simmons:

memory is still there, but it's not creating this

Katelyn Simmons:

physical reaction in my body anymore. I can drive

Katelyn Simmons:

my car without shaking and having a panic attack.

Katelyn Simmons:

I can think about what happened and not be

Katelyn Simmons:

paranoid that someone's always chasing me or like

Katelyn Simmons:

there can be things that used to be triggers and

Katelyn Simmons:

it's not creating that physical response. And I

Katelyn Simmons:

think that was a big piece to why, you know,

Katelyn Simmons:

things weren't. Weren't healing. It was like

Katelyn Simmons:

affecting. It affects your cells and it blocks

Katelyn Simmons:

the meridians from flowing and like Eileen talks

Katelyn Simmons:

about, it stays in your biofield, but it's like

Katelyn Simmons:

you can just clear it out and have freedom and

Katelyn Simmons:

it's transformative. Yeah.

Meredith Oke:

And I feel like still to this day I feel a little

Meredith Oke:

bit bad saying that. I feel like, oh, no, like,

Meredith Oke:

don't make it sound so simple, Meredith. That's

Meredith Oke:

not fair. But like, why not?

Katelyn Simmons:

I mean, you know, it's a paradigm shift and

Katelyn Simmons:

people, you know, you have to make a choice. I

Katelyn Simmons:

had to make a choice to stop being in victim

Katelyn Simmons:

mode. I think I feel so confident talking about

Katelyn Simmons:

it, because I was there. I felt like, this is so

Katelyn Simmons:

hard. How could anyone say anything to me

Katelyn Simmons:

otherwise? How could you tell me to look at the

Katelyn Simmons:

bright? Bright side? How could you? I remember

Katelyn Simmons:

one of. I went. Used to go get colon

Katelyn Simmons:

hydrotherapy, and I remember she'd tell me, she'd

Katelyn Simmons:

be like, you know, sometimes we attract what we

Katelyn Simmons:

are. Maybe you need. Like, she actually tried

Katelyn Simmons:

saying that to me, and I was like, what? How

Katelyn Simmons:

could you say? Like, I was mad afterwards, So I

Katelyn Simmons:

get it. Like, but now, coming through it and

Katelyn Simmons:

being on the other side, it's like, wow, we do

Katelyn Simmons:

have to shift from victim to being triumphant.

Katelyn Simmons:

Like, I am going to heal. I am going to change. I

Katelyn Simmons:

am going to let this be in the past. Because

Katelyn Simmons:

that's something I saw with my clients, too. I

Katelyn Simmons:

built up my practice. I had all these people who

Katelyn Simmons:

would come to see me for. Well, I went virtual,

Katelyn Simmons:

but we do sessions, and a lot of people, not

Katelyn Simmons:

everybody, but a good chunk of people, there was

Katelyn Simmons:

a disconnect where they weren't really ready to

Katelyn Simmons:

let it go. Like it was part of their identity.

Katelyn Simmons:

And that's another thing I had to learn, too.

Katelyn Simmons:

Lyme is not me. Lyme is just a thing. And I'm

Katelyn Simmons:

gonna move forward from it. Like, so there's that

Katelyn Simmons:

whole piece of. Yeah. Not being victim anymore.

Meredith Oke:

Absolutely. And it's no small thing.

Katelyn Simmons:

It is.

Meredith Oke:

It is in the wider culture, I think, much safer

Meredith Oke:

to feel like a victim than to feel like a

Meredith Oke:

successful person and show up that way.

Katelyn Simmons:

And it feels like our society's, like, made to

Katelyn Simmons:

make that thrive. Like, it's. It's almost like

Katelyn Simmons:

we're going against 99% of everybody to show up

Katelyn Simmons:

as successful and healed and different.

Meredith Oke:

Yes. And there's. There is currency in being

Meredith Oke:

traumatized and damaged. And I'm gonna go. I'm

Meredith Oke:

just gonna go all the way with it. And I'm

Meredith Oke:

speaking of someone who has also healed a lot of

Meredith Oke:

things. I haven't got into it on. On this

Meredith Oke:

podcast, and I probably won't, but it was a lot.

Meredith Oke:

It was a lot of things. And I think that in order

Meredith Oke:

to fully let go of that victim mentality, in

Meredith Oke:

order to fully let go of, like, oh, well, I have

Meredith Oke:

this trauma, so I can't. It's. It's a way to have

Meredith Oke:

low standards and low expectations for ourselves

Meredith Oke:

and always give ourselves a way out.

Katelyn Simmons:

Chills, mic drop, like, whoa, that needs to be a

Katelyn Simmons:

quote. You need to put that in a quote and put it

Katelyn Simmons:

on your Instagram. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. It's. It's

Katelyn Simmons:

huge. That was really profound.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah. And I say that not just from. That's what I

Meredith Oke:

see as a coach and other people. That's what I

Meredith Oke:

saw in myself.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah.

Meredith Oke:

And then it's a continuous journey to move

Meredith Oke:

through it. Every time we do something new, we

Meredith Oke:

move through a version of it.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yes. That's what, that's what came to mind was I

Katelyn Simmons:

had to come to another version of it when I got

Katelyn Simmons:

pregnant. And when I read, you know, I went. I'm

Katelyn Simmons:

not going to go into all the birth stuff. That's

Katelyn Simmons:

a whole other topic. But I read Yolanda Norris

Katelyn Simmons:

Clark's book and I almost feel like that's a book

Katelyn Simmons:

that, that everyone should read. Whether you want

Katelyn Simmons:

to be a mom or not, or you've already had kids

Katelyn Simmons:

and you're, you know, she just dives into that,

Katelyn Simmons:

the whole victim mentality too, and she breaks it

Katelyn Simmons:

down. And it helped me. I ended up having a free

Katelyn Simmons:

birth, and that was my choice. And my husband and

Katelyn Simmons:

I did that together. And I know everyone has

Katelyn Simmons:

their opinions on that, but I felt so empowered.

Katelyn Simmons:

And it was like the last. Well, I'm sure there's

Katelyn Simmons:

more to work through, but another big chunk of

Katelyn Simmons:

that victim of the negativity of it just, it

Katelyn Simmons:

helped me shed that. Like, giving birth in that

Katelyn Simmons:

way was so empowering. It was like I gave birth

Katelyn Simmons:

to a new version of myself. And afterward, I

Katelyn Simmons:

remember I just felt like, wow, I'm stepping into

Katelyn Simmons:

my most authentic self now. And that's actually

Katelyn Simmons:

something that really helped in every area of my

Katelyn Simmons:

life. But it is a continual shedding. It's like

Katelyn Simmons:

the onion, you gotta peel back all these layers

Katelyn Simmons:

and it's kind of the never ending onion, but it.

Meredith Oke:

Yes. And some days you're like, where is the

Meredith Oke:

goddamn end of this onion?

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah. Yeah. 100%. Yeah.

Meredith Oke:

Sorry to swear. I just want everyone to know when

Meredith Oke:

I swear, I have calibrated the words to resonate

Meredith Oke:

at a very high frequency. It's not real swearing.

Meredith Oke:

So I, I was reading some of your experience and I

Meredith Oke:

wanted to talk about this a little bit more. You

Meredith Oke:

mentioned it briefly, but when you were doing in

Meredith Oke:

person work with people, you were seeing them in

Meredith Oke:

your clinic. You were, you know, putting your

Meredith Oke:

hands on them to do them, to do massage therapy.

Meredith Oke:

You talked about, like, the energetic effects of

Meredith Oke:

that and how you had to learn to shield yourself

Meredith Oke:

and ground yourself and protect yourself in that

Meredith Oke:

experience. So I know a lot of people who are

Meredith Oke:

still. There are a lot of people who are still in

Meredith Oke:

the. In person you ultimately chose to go

Meredith Oke:

virtual. But while you were still in that space,

Meredith Oke:

how did you come to understand how to stay

Meredith Oke:

protected while working with other people?

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah, I remember one. As I was learning, I talked

Katelyn Simmons:

to a few of my clients about it. I was like, man,

Katelyn Simmons:

sometimes clients come in and I feel like. Like I

Katelyn Simmons:

touch them, and if they're angry, I'm angry, and

Katelyn Simmons:

they leave happy. And if I remember specifically,

Katelyn Simmons:

like, there would be times when someone would

Katelyn Simmons:

come in with something really severe, like cancer

Katelyn Simmons:

or something, where they were just really down in

Katelyn Simmons:

the dumps, low and in pain. And I would almost

Katelyn Simmons:

feel. I would feel the pain in the exact same

Katelyn Simmons:

spot that they were saying. And so I remember

Katelyn Simmons:

just feeling like, what is this? This is so

Katelyn Simmons:

weird. I don't want this. This feels icky, and it

Katelyn Simmons:

just would feel heavy. Can you hear my baby

Katelyn Simmons:

really loud in the back?

Meredith Oke:

I can hear her very quietly, and.

Katelyn Simmons:

It'S beautiful, so don't worry about it. It's so

Katelyn Simmons:

weird to be away from her. Anyway, so I was

Katelyn Simmons:

talking to some clients about it, and they were

Katelyn Simmons:

like, well, just envision a white bubble around

Katelyn Simmons:

you. I think, okay, that's cool. And I started

Katelyn Simmons:

trying to do that, and I think it helped a

Katelyn Simmons:

little, but I didn't totally understand, so that

Katelyn Simmons:

was kind of the start. And then I started

Katelyn Simmons:

learning more about grounding, and I started just

Katelyn Simmons:

envisioning myself before I would go in to work

Katelyn Simmons:

with a client. I'd envisioned myself having my

Katelyn Simmons:

energy grounded deep into the earth. And that was

Katelyn Simmons:

something that really helped me a lot. But it was

Katelyn Simmons:

never really enough until that short period when

Katelyn Simmons:

I learned about the emotion code and the AO scan.

Katelyn Simmons:

And I was really seeing how, like, with muscle

Katelyn Simmons:

testing, you can swipe, see if you can see your

Katelyn Simmons:

governing meridian three times, the sweat, you

Katelyn Simmons:

know, and clear energy off of you. And so now I

Katelyn Simmons:

still do that to this day. If I walk past someone

Katelyn Simmons:

and I feel something, I'm just like, get off of

Katelyn Simmons:

me. And that really started helping. And then the

Katelyn Simmons:

AO scan, there's frequencies you can run for

Katelyn Simmons:

energetic clear and energetic shield. And those

Katelyn Simmons:

made such a difference. It was, you know, those

Katelyn Simmons:

last few months or couple months in my practice,

Katelyn Simmons:

I started doing that every day, and it was just a

Katelyn Simmons:

game changer. So.

Meredith Oke:

So tell me a little more about the AO scan. I

Meredith Oke:

don't know what that is.

Katelyn Simmons:

Oh, okay. So the AO scan is a subscription that

Katelyn Simmons:

you can have on your phone. You can log into it

Katelyn Simmons:

from basically any device like, that connects to

Katelyn Simmons:

the Internet, and it will transform your computer

Katelyn Simmons:

or your phone into A frequency generator. So

Katelyn Simmons:

you're familiar with bioresonance, Right. Where

Katelyn Simmons:

you can get a scan. Like, I used to have a really

Katelyn Simmons:

expensive one. You put your hand on it and it

Katelyn Simmons:

would scan your whole body. And I'd have to be

Katelyn Simmons:

with clients for like an hour and a half and to

Katelyn Simmons:

see everything that's out of balance in your body

Katelyn Simmons:

energetically. So it's not lab work. It's not.

Katelyn Simmons:

It's like taking a picture in time, like a

Katelyn Simmons:

snapshot in time to see where your body's

Katelyn Simmons:

resonating at. So this goes from, you know, all

Katelyn Simmons:

of your bones to your nerves, your mitochondria,

Katelyn Simmons:

which I started geeking out about that once I was

Katelyn Simmons:

in the course, the quantum course, because it was

Katelyn Simmons:

like, whoa. Like, I can optimize my mitochondria

Katelyn Simmons:

every day. So this is a little different from a

Katelyn Simmons:

lot of bioresonance on the market, because you

Katelyn Simmons:

can then optimize everything it scanned for that

Katelyn Simmons:

was out of balance. So it's like, I don't pay

Katelyn Simmons:

attention a whole lot to the reports. I just love

Katelyn Simmons:

to put my body back into homeostasis every day.

Katelyn Simmons:

And then on top of that, there's custom sound

Katelyn Simmons:

therapy. So, like voice analysis. You can record

Katelyn Simmons:

your voice and create sound therapy tailored to

Katelyn Simmons:

exactly what emotions you need to release and

Katelyn Simmons:

bring balance to which that was a huge piece.

Katelyn Simmons:

That was like emotion code with. That was. I

Katelyn Simmons:

mean, I felt like that's why I was clearing so

Katelyn Simmons:

much so fast, because it was like, whoa, I'm. I'm

Katelyn Simmons:

getting to the root of the emotions. And it's so

Katelyn Simmons:

cool because it shows the physical connections

Katelyn Simmons:

and the energetic connections to those emotions

Katelyn Simmons:

that it found out of balance within your voice.

Katelyn Simmons:

You know how people are so telling. Like you can

Katelyn Simmons:

hear them talk and they're happy, or you can hear

Katelyn Simmons:

them talk and you get depressed. You're like,

Katelyn Simmons:

whoa. Like, I feel that this technology actually

Katelyn Simmons:

picks up. It scans over 10,000 frequencies within

Katelyn Simmons:

your voice to like, spit out these frequencies

Katelyn Simmons:

for you every single day or however much you want

Katelyn Simmons:

to do. So then there's the whole. You know,

Katelyn Simmons:

there's so much. That's why I talk about it so

Katelyn Simmons:

much on my page. And I have like hour long

Katelyn Simmons:

YouTube videos on it. And, like, it's so in

Katelyn Simmons:

depth. It's. It used to be a $38,000 practitioner

Katelyn Simmons:

system. Like doctors and clinics have it.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah.

Katelyn Simmons:

But then I believe it was in 2021, Lauren

Katelyn Simmons:

Swenson, who developed all of this, he had the

Katelyn Simmons:

vision, and they had the vision to bring that

Katelyn Simmons:

sound therapy part to everybody. Because, you

Katelyn Simmons:

know, everyone was struggling in 2020.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah.

Katelyn Simmons:

And then they made it so now anyone can have

Katelyn Simmons:

access to it. So there's so much more cool

Katelyn Simmons:

subconscious reprogramming. There's a lot, but

Katelyn Simmons:

that's what the EOS scan is.

Meredith Oke:

That's really fun.

Katelyn Simmons:

It is fun.

Meredith Oke:

So that, yes, helped with your ability to stay

Meredith Oke:

within your own energy and not take. Take on

Meredith Oke:

whatever your clients were bringing in that day.

Katelyn Simmons:

And I think shedding those layers of emotions

Katelyn Simmons:

too, like just working on yourself, releasing

Katelyn Simmons:

trapped emotions gives you the space where you're

Katelyn Simmons:

actually, like, resilient. You're not, because,

Katelyn Simmons:

you know, everything acts like a magnet. So if

Katelyn Simmons:

you have, I don't know, 20 on the low side, 20

Katelyn Simmons:

trapped emotions of fear, those are always going

Katelyn Simmons:

to be attracting more emotions of fear or things

Katelyn Simmons:

that vibrate at that same level. So if you have

Katelyn Simmons:

all these trapped emotions of unworthiness,

Katelyn Simmons:

sadness, depression, anxiety, like I had all of

Katelyn Simmons:

these just bombarding me. And I remember working

Katelyn Simmons:

through, I felt like I was like releasing

Katelyn Simmons:

thousands of trapped emotions. It attracts more

Katelyn Simmons:

of that into your life because you're. That's

Katelyn Simmons:

where you're vibrating at. So as you raise your

Katelyn Simmons:

frequency and you heal and just, you know, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

we see people release parasites, right, when they

Katelyn Simmons:

just. They just start doing the circadian stuff.

Katelyn Simmons:

Like, just raising your frequency helps you shed

Katelyn Simmons:

the negativity and the sickness and the disease

Katelyn Simmons:

and the bad stuff, and you start to attract

Katelyn Simmons:

different. And you. The stuff doesn't stick to

Katelyn Simmons:

you.

Meredith Oke:

It's so cool. It's also amazing. And it's, you

Meredith Oke:

know, back to what we were saying earlier, right?

Meredith Oke:

Like, if we had just some baseline understanding

Meredith Oke:

of this, we could be clearing that stuff out as

Meredith Oke:

we go. You know, it's like being like, oh, you

Meredith Oke:

know, instead of like vacuuming once a year, it's

Meredith Oke:

like, oh, I'm supposed to vacuum once a week.

Meredith Oke:

Okay. Right. Like, you know, we, we allow these

Meredith Oke:

things to build up because we can't see them. And

Meredith Oke:

we, we've been left ignorant of. Of how to just

Meredith Oke:

do maintenance that way. But it's. When I got

Meredith Oke:

pregnant, it's not that complicated.

Katelyn Simmons:

It's really not. But when I got pregnant, I was

Katelyn Simmons:

like, I'm gonna start releasing all the inherited

Katelyn Simmons:

trapped emotions this way. Because when you

Katelyn Simmons:

release the inherited stuff, it releases in your

Katelyn Simmons:

kids too, and your whole generational line and

Katelyn Simmons:

started releasing them from my baby. I'm like,

Katelyn Simmons:

once a week I just check, and there's really

Katelyn Simmons:

nothing there. But it's just. It feels so cool to

Katelyn Simmons:

be able to Set up a little human from the

Katelyn Simmons:

beginning without coming in with all this baggage.

Meredith Oke:

That's really beautiful. That's so beautiful. I

Meredith Oke:

love that. So you brought up mitochondria. Talk

Meredith Oke:

to me about, you know, like, let's sort of bring

Meredith Oke:

it together with just daily habits and the

Meredith Oke:

lights, you know, the light and dark cycles and

Meredith Oke:

all of the circadian stuff. How have. How has it

Meredith Oke:

all sort of come together for you? Because you

Meredith Oke:

did. You did the deep dive. You studied, you got

Meredith Oke:

certified, so you went all the way.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah. So that was. That's. I think, what really

Katelyn Simmons:

helped get my hormones. It just, like, tied it

Katelyn Simmons:

all together. It was like, okay, these are the

Katelyn Simmons:

things that are so foundational. It's like. It

Katelyn Simmons:

brings you to the terrain theory. Like, if the

Katelyn Simmons:

terrain is good and our hormones are, you know,

Katelyn Simmons:

producing at the right times of the day, it just

Katelyn Simmons:

all makes it, like. It's just cohesive. Your body

Katelyn Simmons:

can now work. So. Learning about sun. The sun was

Katelyn Simmons:

my favorite because, you know, Heather's program

Katelyn Simmons:

on the sun. It was so. Because I've always loved

Katelyn Simmons:

the sun. I've wanted to go bake in the sun for

Katelyn Simmons:

hours on end, and I've, like, wanted to be out in

Katelyn Simmons:

the morning. Like, it's just something I think

Katelyn Simmons:

we're all born with intuitively. But then society

Katelyn Simmons:

comes in and just kind of crushes it. Like,

Katelyn Simmons:

you're. You get almost tuned into everything else

Katelyn Simmons:

feeling good. Like, it feels good to sleep in and

Katelyn Simmons:

feels good to look at your phone until it

Katelyn Simmons:

doesn't. Until it, like, actually is wreaking

Katelyn Simmons:

havoc on your health. So learning. I think the

Katelyn Simmons:

first day I listened to that about sunrise, I

Katelyn Simmons:

started going outside every morning, and it made

Katelyn Simmons:

such a difference. It was like, whoa, I can feel

Katelyn Simmons:

a difference. And I just craved to be outside

Katelyn Simmons:

even more. And that was probably the biggest game

Katelyn Simmons:

changer for me, was because I Learning about how

Katelyn Simmons:

just that sunrise light, whether it's cloudy or

Katelyn Simmons:

not or whatever the weather is, like, it sets you

Katelyn Simmons:

up for the rest of the day where you're not

Katelyn Simmons:

gonna. You know, you precondition your skin. You

Katelyn Simmons:

build that solar callus. You set up cord, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

cortisol. Like, I love talking about cortisol

Katelyn Simmons:

because it's. We have these free tools you can

Katelyn Simmons:

use to balance things. So I just started, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

being out. I remember cold mornings. I'd bundle

Katelyn Simmons:

up and sit outside with my coffee for, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

three hours. Like, I'm gonna heal. I'm gonna heal

Katelyn Simmons:

with sunlight even more. And that's just carried

Katelyn Simmons:

through, like, the first couple days after my

Katelyn Simmons:

baby was born, I would bring her outside, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

every day. Like, we're getting sunlight, we're

Katelyn Simmons:

getting. I still bring her out at sunrise. We go

Katelyn Simmons:

out, like, every couple hours to get all the

Katelyn Simmons:

white codes. And the only thing that's been hard

Katelyn Simmons:

with a baby is wearing my blue light blockers.

Katelyn Simmons:

That's been tough because she just wants them.

Meredith Oke:

She just pulls them off your face. Yeah, that's

Meredith Oke:

true.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah. I still wear them at night, but when she's

Katelyn Simmons:

asleep. Yeah, yeah. It's just. It's. It's. It's

Katelyn Simmons:

life. And once you build the habit, it's a part

Katelyn Simmons:

of your life. Like, it just. It's a part of your

Katelyn Simmons:

life now. Like, you can't go any other way. And

Katelyn Simmons:

grounding, like, every morning we go ground. It's

Katelyn Simmons:

just turned into such a nice routine. And I think

Katelyn Simmons:

that's actually really helpful for moms with

Katelyn Simmons:

young kids is if you have this routine where you

Katelyn Simmons:

get the sun, you ground, you go outside multiple

Katelyn Simmons:

times, no matter what the weather is, or you

Katelyn Simmons:

crack a window. Like, it really. I mean, maybe

Katelyn Simmons:

it's just my baby's temperament, but she is so

Katelyn Simmons:

happy all the time. And I can tell if we need

Katelyn Simmons:

more sun or need to get outside or need to ground

Katelyn Simmons:

if she starts to not be a little happy. And then

Katelyn Simmons:

it's like, instant. We get in the grass, we get

Katelyn Simmons:

in the sun, we go to the beach. Instantly, she's

Katelyn Simmons:

just perfect again.

Meredith Oke:

Wow, that's really interesting, because I know,

Meredith Oke:

you know, for a lot of parents, it's like, oh,

Meredith Oke:

I'll turn the TV on, or I'll give them a show.

Meredith Oke:

Oh, they're a bit grumpy. Like, I'll just give

Meredith Oke:

them a show to watch or.

Katelyn Simmons:

I think that makes sense.

Meredith Oke:

I definitely did that back in the day. But, yeah.

Meredith Oke:

Oh, going outside a couple shows.

Katelyn Simmons:

But the windows always open and the doors open in

Katelyn Simmons:

short amounts of time. But I can see. I can see

Katelyn Simmons:

that change her, too. So it's. I've almost, you

Katelyn Simmons:

know, I go back and forth, like, should we watch

Katelyn Simmons:

a little bit of something so I can drink my

Katelyn Simmons:

coffee or. No, it's always better when we just go

Katelyn Simmons:

outside. Yeah, but no judgment. It's there. It's

Katelyn Simmons:

just. You can do these little things, like open

Katelyn Simmons:

the window if it's on, or, you know, I want to

Katelyn Simmons:

get a projector at some point, because that'll be

Katelyn Simmons:

a little better, but.

Meredith Oke:

Oh, that's a fun idea. Yes. And truly, no

Meredith Oke:

judgment. My children all have screens, and, you

Meredith Oke:

know, we live. We don't homeschool. We live in

Meredith Oke:

the. In the prescribed prescription world of, you

Meredith Oke:

know, normal society. And, you know, that's just

Meredith Oke:

how we've chosen to do it.

Katelyn Simmons:

And, yeah, it just shows how powerful it still

Katelyn Simmons:

is, though. Like, you don't have to live some

Katelyn Simmons:

hippie woo woo life for this to change your life.

Katelyn Simmons:

And you don't have to, like, change your whole

Katelyn Simmons:

identity and be a totally different. Like, that's

Katelyn Simmons:

just who I am. I love being outside and I want to

Katelyn Simmons:

homeschool. That's just me because I was

Katelyn Simmons:

homeschooled when I was little. But no, not

Katelyn Simmons:

everyone has to do that. It's so, like, just work

Katelyn Simmons:

it into your schedule. Like, I loved when Carrie

Katelyn Simmons:

would talk about just cracking the windows on her

Katelyn Simmons:

way to school drop off or opening the sunroof

Katelyn Simmons:

and, you know, popping on your blue light

Katelyn Simmons:

blockers or wearing wired headsets instead of

Katelyn Simmons:

Bluetooth and just all the simple little things

Katelyn Simmons:

you can shift.

Meredith Oke:

Yes. And when, you know, I think that's an

Meredith Oke:

important message I always like to bring up is

Meredith Oke:

every little thing matters. You know, going

Meredith Oke:

outside in the morning for even five minutes,

Meredith Oke:

even two minutes before other light hits your

Meredith Oke:

eyes or, you know, not turning on those big

Meredith Oke:

overhead lights after sunset. Like, just little

Meredith Oke:

things. And one thing I hear a lot is people are

Meredith Oke:

like, oh, I listen to your podcast, but I'm just

Meredith Oke:

so overwhelmed at the thought of changing every

Meredith Oke:

light bulb in my house. I don't think. I don't

Meredith Oke:

think I can do this circadian thing. And I'm

Meredith Oke:

like, oh, my gosh, if I left you with that

Meredith Oke:

impression, the. My bad. Just don't turn them on.

Meredith Oke:

It's very simple. You don't have to change

Meredith Oke:

everything. Just have some lamps with

Meredith Oke:

incandescent bulbs and don't turn on the big

Meredith Oke:

lights. You don't have to because, you know,

Meredith Oke:

we're all. We all have ceilings filled with those

Meredith Oke:

LEDs that.

Katelyn Simmons:

And a lot of us have husbands who think it's

Katelyn Simmons:

really annoying for it to be dark. It's a fight

Katelyn Simmons:

over here. So, you know, it's. It is what it. Not

Katelyn Simmons:

all of our bulbs are changed. I've slowly changed

Katelyn Simmons:

them. And he's like, why are these so dim? Did I

Katelyn Simmons:

get any brighter? So it's. Just do what you can

Katelyn Simmons:

and it's gonna help no matter what. Like, it's

Katelyn Simmons:

not perfection. And that's like, it goes for

Katelyn Simmons:

everything with health. It's not perfection. And

Katelyn Simmons:

everything in your life, you cannot show up

Katelyn Simmons:

perfect for anything. And if you try, you're just

Katelyn Simmons:

gonna be depressed.

Meredith Oke:

Right. It's another one of those traps that we

Meredith Oke:

set for ourselves. Right. We're like, I am going

Meredith Oke:

to play an unwinnable game, and I'm not allowed

Meredith Oke:

to feel successful or happy until this unwinnable

Meredith Oke:

game is won. But it's unwinnable.

Katelyn Simmons:

And that's like. I don't know if you want to talk

Katelyn Simmons:

about abundance at all, but, like, that's one of

Katelyn Simmons:

the huge blocks to abundance. Like, we get so

Katelyn Simmons:

caught up in what's next and what. What can I do

Katelyn Simmons:

to, you know, if you're on social media, like, do

Katelyn Simmons:

more posts and, like, all this perfection instead

Katelyn Simmons:

of just enjoying where you're at now, doing what

Katelyn Simmons:

you can now, knowing that it's good enough and

Katelyn Simmons:

just, you know, everyone struggles with that. I

Katelyn Simmons:

still struggle with that, but it's. It's so much

Katelyn Simmons:

more enjoyable to go through life. And I think it

Katelyn Simmons:

frees up your healing when you don't try to

Katelyn Simmons:

control. Because it's like human nature is to

Katelyn Simmons:

control everything and grip onto everything

Katelyn Simmons:

really tightly. But as soon as you surrender,

Katelyn Simmons:

it's like, the river can flow, everything can

Katelyn Simmons:

work. And then, you know, I feel like the bad

Katelyn Simmons:

stuff doesn't affect you as much.

Meredith Oke:

Yes. And I find too, when you get in that flow,

Meredith Oke:

then ideas come and we feel called to do things

Meredith Oke:

that will require us to push ourselves a little

Meredith Oke:

bit.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yes.

Meredith Oke:

But it's coming from this place of abundance, not

Meredith Oke:

a place of, like, I have to do this.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yes. And it's fulfilling and it's like your

Katelyn Simmons:

passion. And it's like, it's so different. It's

Katelyn Simmons:

so different. Like, it's. It is hard work to do

Katelyn Simmons:

any of, you know, to change your life in any way.

Katelyn Simmons:

It's hard work, but it's harder to stay where

Katelyn Simmons:

you're at. In my opinion. It would have been a

Katelyn Simmons:

lot harder if I would have just stayed where I

Katelyn Simmons:

was at. I'd be. Yeah, it was hard work to get

Katelyn Simmons:

where I am now, but so worth it. And not as hard.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah, yeah.

Meredith Oke:

Not as painful.

Katelyn Simmons:

And so rewarding.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah, it's amazing. Life is really cool. And I

Meredith Oke:

love, you know. Yeah, I love this chat, like, and

Meredith Oke:

coming into the mitochondria, you know, and the

Meredith Oke:

idea of, like, clearing our emotions, clearing

Meredith Oke:

toxic light. Right. Like these. These are all the

Meredith Oke:

frequencies and these, these little.

Katelyn Simmons:

These, these.

Meredith Oke:

I don't even know. I saw Martin Picard, who does

Meredith Oke:

a lot of really interesting mitochondrial

Meredith Oke:

research and bioenergetics, and he was. He did a

Meredith Oke:

post recently. He's like, we gotta stop with the

Meredith Oke:

powerhouse of the cell. It's been 60 years. It's

Meredith Oke:

not accurate. And I thought, okay, so what are

Meredith Oke:

we? What's the new catchphrase? And so now I call

Meredith Oke:

on everyone if we're. If we're gonna upgrade from

Meredith Oke:

powerhouse of the cell, like what should we call

Meredith Oke:

it? Because it encompasses everything. Right. As

Meredith Oke:

you were saying. Right. Like strengthening our

Meredith Oke:

mitochondria from physical practices like

Meredith Oke:

grounding and reducing toxic light.

Katelyn Simmons:

Oh.

Meredith Oke:

Gives us energy for emotional healing which may

Meredith Oke:

come. Which may come next. And that. That idea of

Meredith Oke:

the nonlinear healing and people. You know, I've

Meredith Oke:

had people reach out to me lately who said they

Meredith Oke:

started with the circadian stuff and like their

Meredith Oke:

sleep is worse and they're like, yeah. And it

Meredith Oke:

turned out I had all this emotional work to do.

Meredith Oke:

So it's just so interesting how our bodies.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah, the whole layer thing. A layer cake. Yeah.

Katelyn Simmons:

It's just I feel like too. People need to

Katelyn Simmons:

remember as you heal, this is like a lifelong

Katelyn Simmons:

journey. It's not a three week cleanse. It's not

Katelyn Simmons:

a three month cleanse. This is lifelong. And we

Katelyn Simmons:

weren't. It's not just our lifetime. We have to

Katelyn Simmons:

look at everything that affected ourselves and

Katelyn Simmons:

our mitochondria and our muscles and everything.

Katelyn Simmons:

Our fascia, like the fascia is so complex. It's

Katelyn Simmons:

like generational. It's multi. Generational

Katelyn Simmons:

things that have affected us. And so we're

Katelyn Simmons:

peeling back these layers. And sometimes when

Katelyn Simmons:

your body gets that energy to actually be able to

Katelyn Simmons:

address what's been underlying or hiding deep in

Katelyn Simmons:

your tissues or in your organs, it's gonna be a

Katelyn Simmons:

little painful and be a little frustrating

Katelyn Simmons:

because now your body's like, oh, hey, I can

Katelyn Simmons:

target this. I can clear this out. I can. You can

Katelyn Simmons:

feel this emotion now, and it's just. It's just a

Katelyn Simmons:

part of it.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah. And I love what you just said. You can feel

Meredith Oke:

this emotion now. Because I think so much of our

Meredith Oke:

energy goes towards making sure we don't have to

Meredith Oke:

feel certain things. And I've been really digging

Meredith Oke:

in lately. I've been putting myself out there and

Meredith Oke:

pushing myself to do things. And I'm like, oh,

Meredith Oke:

but it's gonna make me feel. And I'm like, yep.

Meredith Oke:

And it did. And you know what? It passes. It just

Meredith Oke:

flows through. I think if I'm not trying to block

Meredith Oke:

it or six seconds.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah. For an emotion to pass. Yeah. But it can.

Katelyn Simmons:

You know, but then it can trigger. You know, the

Katelyn Simmons:

cool thing about trapped emotions is they talk

Katelyn Simmons:

about how they're really energetically the size

Katelyn Simmons:

of your fist, but when they get triggered, they

Katelyn Simmons:

can blow up to the size of a balloon or a beach

Katelyn Simmons:

ball energetically. And then that can kind of

Katelyn Simmons:

create this trigger effect through your whole

Katelyn Simmons:

body, triggering the rest of them. And so it can

Katelyn Simmons:

feel so overwhelming when you first start, but it

Katelyn Simmons:

does get easier and easier and easier the more

Katelyn Simmons:

you let yourself feel, because then you can

Katelyn Simmons:

actually feel in the moment when something's

Katelyn Simmons:

happening too. Because that's actually how

Katelyn Simmons:

emotions get trapped. We stuff it down and we

Katelyn Simmons:

don't feel it, and we, like, we want to avoid it.

Katelyn Simmons:

And that creates this cycle of just stuffing it

Katelyn Simmons:

down, stuffing and stuffing, and, you know.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah.

Katelyn Simmons:

Creates this whole problem.

Meredith Oke:

And then the problems begin or continue or get

Meredith Oke:

worse or whatever. Oh, my goodness, Caitlin, it's

Meredith Oke:

been so delightful to talk to you. I'm so glad we

Meredith Oke:

got to meet and have this conversation before I.

Meredith Oke:

You share sort of how people can find you. Is

Meredith Oke:

there anything that else that you'd like to say

Meredith Oke:

before we wrap up?

Katelyn Simmons:

I don't know. I just. It's just all so good. I

Katelyn Simmons:

feel like we could talk for hours. Like, there's

Katelyn Simmons:

just so many different rabbit holes you can go

Katelyn Simmons:

down and just. It's all so good. And quantum

Katelyn Simmons:

biology is just. It's life changing. And I didn't

Katelyn Simmons:

think that the emotional side of it really fit in

Katelyn Simmons:

to the quantum biology. You know, back when it

Katelyn Simmons:

was the two part course and then the second part

Katelyn Simmons:

came in and Carrie was talking about Eileen, I

Katelyn Simmons:

was like, oh, they know about Eileen McKusick. I

Katelyn Simmons:

was so excited. Like, it was like, this does fit

Katelyn Simmons:

in. It's all together. So I was like, am I

Katelyn Simmons:

talking about the same stuff? Does this fit in

Katelyn Simmons:

together? And then that kind of led me to looking

Katelyn Simmons:

for trapped emotions specifically affecting the

Katelyn Simmons:

mitochondria in my clients. And, like, looking at

Katelyn Simmons:

it from this whole new lens of, like, how are

Katelyn Simmons:

emotions affecting the circadian side of it, the

Katelyn Simmons:

quantum side of it? And it just kind of turned

Katelyn Simmons:

into this whole new, like, it is connected and

Katelyn Simmons:

it's all important and we need to focus on all of

Katelyn Simmons:

it.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah. Oh, I love that. Yeah, for sure. No, it is

Meredith Oke:

because it's. I mean, we. I think light's a great

Meredith Oke:

way in because it's so misunderstood and ignored.

Meredith Oke:

And it's just such an easy fix once you

Meredith Oke:

understand the basics of it. But at the end of

Meredith Oke:

the day, light is. Is frequency. Emotions are

Meredith Oke:

frequency. It's all frequency. And it's trapped

Meredith Oke:

in the. In the structured water in our bodies,

Meredith Oke:

and it's doing all the things. And there's sound

Meredith Oke:

and light and the motion code and all of it works

Meredith Oke:

with the energy of our body as you so beautifully

Meredith Oke:

laid out.

Katelyn Simmons:

Yeah, yeah. And so many ways to address all of

Katelyn Simmons:

that, too. Like, there's, you know, emotion

Katelyn Simmons:

code's not the only way. There's breath, there's

Katelyn Simmons:

sound bowls, there's somatic work. There's, like,

Katelyn Simmons:

so many different avenues people can go down to

Katelyn Simmons:

just start healing. And all of it's raising our

Katelyn Simmons:

vibration and raising our frequency. So it's all

Katelyn Simmons:

connected.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah, I love it. And so where can people find

Meredith Oke:

you, Katelyn?

Katelyn Simmons:

The best place is probably my Instagram.

Katelyn Simmons:

Aitlinsimmonsofficial, and that's where I'm most

Katelyn Simmons:

active, like, in my DMs. I am on my Facebook, but

Katelyn Simmons:

everything from Instagram just gets uploaded to

Katelyn Simmons:

Facebook, so I'm not super active over there. My

Katelyn Simmons:

YouTube's really not consistent yet, but I'm

Katelyn Simmons:

planning to do more YouTube, so probably

Katelyn Simmons:

Instagram.

Meredith Oke:

Okay, great. So that's at Caitlin Simmons,

Meredith Oke:

official on Instagram. And Kaitlyn is spelled K,

Meredith Oke:

A, T, E, L, Y, N Simmons. S, I, M. Thank you so

Meredith Oke:

much. This was delightful, and we'll have to do

Meredith Oke:

it again. Thank you, Meredith, and

Meredith Oke:

congratulations on one full year of being a mama.

Katelyn Simmons:

Thank you. It's been the best.
