KEY WORDS:
Tune in for this enlightening conversation at TalkRadio.nyc
Sam introduces a captivating excerpt titled "Harnessing the Potential of Intuition" from his work, Everyday Awakening, which can be found at www.everydayawakeningbook.com. The attention then turns to Heidi Smith, acclaimed as a Bestselling Author, Transformation Guide, Speaker, as well as a Master Coach and Trainer at the Accelerated Evolution Academy. She begins by telling us a little bit more about her background.
After grappling with addiction, Heidi eventually opted to reach out for assistance. Amid the challenges, there emerged numerous serendipitous moments of beauty. She discovered a sense of belonging within a 12-step program, where she found a supportive community. Sam and Heidi delve into the curative influence of intimacy. In the past, drinking and substance use served as tools for Heidi to evade her emotions, but she has since embraced them wholeheartedly. Heidi also addresses the process of readjusting to a society where alcohol remains prominently ingrained.
Heidi shares the pivotal moment when she resolved to leverage the skills she acquired on her path to sobriety to assist others who shared similar stories. She took several years before fully embracing coaching. It wasn't until she reached the age of 50 that she truly discovered her vocation, especially following an experience of accelerated healing. This encounter solidified her desire to extend the same transformative journey to others. She briefly touches upon her book titled "Making Friends with the Boogeyman."
Heidi recommends her book along with a project named "A Year of Joy" as valuable tools for individuals in search of assistance. Concluding her discourse, she encourages the audience to place their trust in their bodies and utilize the power of breath to remain in the present moment. She goes on to illustrate the technique of alternate nostril breathing. For additional details regarding her coaching sessions and workshops, you can visit Heidi's website at heidicoach.com.
00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:49.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: good afternoon. Good evening. Good morning. Wherever you're tuning in from. Welcome to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity. I am very, very pleased that you are all here with me today. We've got a wonderful guest in store for you today, and just to let you know I' you don't see my big microphone today because I'm
00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:57.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: on location out in Colorado. So I'm out of New York City for a couple of weeks. So you're gonna see me out here.
00:00:57.290 --> 00:01:03.899 so I'm glad you're all with me. I hope you had a chance to catch last week's show. Oh, my God, what a wonderful guest
00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:25.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: she, the sony was I really, if you if you missed last week, show that definitely, go check it out all right. Let's get started. Of course, as always, we start off with our little section from my book, Everyday Awakening. And today the section is entitled.
00:01:25.820 --> 00:01:30.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we use our intuition. Amazing things happen.
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:41.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our intuitive hunches may not work out all the time. Sometimes we follow them, and in hindsight make obvious mistakes.
00:01:41.580 --> 00:01:48.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: get our imperfect intuition guides us more accurately than our logic.
00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:49.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Why?
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:55.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because, following our intuition, once we've practiced following, it
00:01:55.700 --> 00:01:57.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just feels better.
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:09.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yes, it is sometimes means ignoring the facts. Yes, it sometimes means not being able to explain ourselves. Yes, it's sometimes
00:02:09.419 --> 00:02:15.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even feels foolish in the face of other people's logical arguments.
00:02:16.010 --> 00:02:24.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet when we follow the feeling we we receive from our intuition. it just feels right.
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:30.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It feels right in our body because we are learning to trust our body's intelligence.
00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:35.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We were taught to value the minds intelligence above all else.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: This makes trusting the body more difficult.
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.699 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet when we do amazing things happen.
00:02:46.430 --> 00:02:58.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that person we felt wasn't quite trustworthy. Turns out actually not to be trustworthy. That opportunity we took a chance on because it felt right.
00:02:58.250 --> 00:03:02.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: eventually pays off big time.
00:03:02.690 --> 00:03:10.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That relationship we were stuck in that didn't feel right finally ends. So we can meet our life partner.
00:03:11.230 --> 00:03:19.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our intuition is right far more than it is wrong. We just have to learn to trust it
00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:26.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and use it more like we would a muscle. It gets stronger with use.
00:03:27.070 --> 00:03:36.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Start paying attention to your own intuition. recognize it. test it. see where it leads you.
00:03:37.150 --> 00:03:44.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So this is the this section of the book I wrote a long, long time ago. This is probably one of the older
00:03:44.890 --> 00:03:46.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: pieces that I wrote in the book.
00:03:48.310 --> 00:03:57.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I kind of wrote it. I guess it. It. It was more to help me feel better about learning to trust my intuition, even though it wasn't always right.
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:05.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And the interesting thing was that when I really worked on developing my intuition
00:04:05.410 --> 00:04:13.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: on, on just doing little things not not like in big ways, but in little ways starting to work with my intuition.
00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:27.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It was so interesting how many times it would turn out much more accurate than my logical thinking brain. And I and I just I I always remember this incident so clearly.
00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:37.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I I remember I was going to meet somebody on the east side of Manhattan at a place you know a cafe I'd never been to before.
00:04:37.430 --> 00:04:41.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I have the address, and I and I take the subway across town.
00:04:43.270 --> 00:04:48.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then I had to walk down like 5 6 blocks, and so I'm walking down
00:04:50.230 --> 00:04:58.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and like, when I first got out of the train station I stopped for a minute, and I was just like, without looking at the numbers without looking at anything. Okay.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:04.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I asked myself. Is this place on the left side of the avenue or the right side of the avenue?
00:05:05.260 --> 00:05:07.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then instantly I got left, like.
00:05:07.650 --> 00:05:16.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: okay. So I start walking down the left side of the avenue. The numbers seem right. It seemed like it would lead me there eventually.
00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:21.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then, when I got to the block where it seemed like the place should be.
00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:39.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the whole block was under construction. They were like building some giant skyscraper, and everything was, and I was like, Oh, my God! My intuition was wrong. I guess it's on the other side of the street. So I cross over to the other side of the street, and I'm looking for the cafe. It's not there. I'm kind of confused.
00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:53.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I'm walking up and down a couple of blocks, and I'm like, Okay, let me look at the other side again. I go across the street. It turned out it was just further down on the left side than where I thought it was past the construction.
00:05:54.410 --> 00:05:57.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So my intuition was actually right.
00:05:58.340 --> 00:06:12.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But then, when I started to second, guess it with my logical mind, like, Oh, the numbers! It's like like just one or 2 numbers down. It should be right here on this next block, but it can't be on this next block, because it's construction. So it's got to be on the other side of the street. No.
00:06:13.450 --> 00:06:22.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: my my intuition was right, and if I trusted it, I just said, Okay, I'm just not there yet, and kept going on that side. I would have found it probably 5 min sooner.
00:06:23.580 --> 00:06:33.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So like that little thing, it just that that little incident always stuck with me that my intuition was right. But I didn't.
00:06:34.170 --> 00:06:42.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: 100% trusted. So then I second guessed myself. But then, when I found out really what's going on, I found out my intuition was actually right.
00:06:44.370 --> 00:06:53.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so that really started me on this path, and, as I, you know, started to do more energy healing started working with people more, and just started trusting
00:06:54.270 --> 00:06:59.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what would come out of my mouth without me knowing
00:06:59.110 --> 00:07:11.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how or why. I found it started over time, becoming more and more accurate. and it was quite, quite interesting like. With this energy, healing, modality I had learned.
00:07:12.030 --> 00:07:18.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That was a form of instant. That's a form of instant, energetic healing. And
00:07:18.570 --> 00:07:23.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I would say things while I'm doing the method with people.
00:07:24.170 --> 00:07:31.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I would try and say them, and I still do it this way. I say them very, very quickly. What? What are the corrections? What are the changes?
00:07:32.950 --> 00:07:39.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I like? Things would come out of my mouth. That would be, make no sense. I was like, where did that come from?
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:50.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I would say very quickly, so my conscious mind didn't have a chance to edit. and inevitably even the most ridiculous things that came out of my mouth
00:07:50.850 --> 00:08:02.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: after I finished, and I was like, Well, how do you feel? And the person would be like, oh, my God! I can't believe it when you said this, that and that. It's so resonated with me, and I could feel so much lighter because of it. And I was like, Oh, my God!
00:08:02.970 --> 00:08:10.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so things like that just over time helped me to really trust my intuition more and more.
00:08:11.150 --> 00:08:27.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There are many times when people ask me questions about things that I know about, but I don't necessarily know everything. and then something would come up. and I don't know where it's coming up from, and I just say what comes up.
00:08:27.870 --> 00:08:31.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and I would say it confidently.
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:40.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but I had no idea where it came from, and then, later on. It turned out I was actually right when I looked it up. So that kind of
00:08:41.260 --> 00:08:48.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't know whether it's a talent or a skill, or just an innate quality.
00:08:48.160 --> 00:08:53.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is normally called Claire cognizance. You know there there are different Clares, which are like
00:08:53.620 --> 00:09:08.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: extra sensory is perceptions where some people are are clear audience. That means they hear things. Other people clairvoyant. They see things other clear, clear, sentient. They feel things, and clear. Cognizant is just
00:09:09.070 --> 00:09:22.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we know things. I just know things that I don't know how I know them, and it drives my wife nuts like she's like, what do you mean like, how do you know that? And I'm like, I don't know how I know it. I just know it.
00:09:23.690 --> 00:09:28.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And look, am I always right? No, I'm not always right. It's not a hundred percent.
00:09:30.690 --> 00:09:43.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But what I've learned over time is that by following my intuition it it's an act of self-, and the more I trust myself.
00:09:44.270 --> 00:09:52.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the better it feels, the more I can access this whole vehicle that's below my neck. As well trust my body
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:59.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and receive information and receive answers that I had no logical way of knowing.
00:10:01.540 --> 00:10:10.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and so this section that I wrote about using our intuition. It really comes from my own personal experience.
00:10:10.830 --> 00:10:14.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I guess I just wanted to share it with people
00:10:15.680 --> 00:10:18.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that it does take practice
00:10:19.280 --> 00:10:23.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that. But we don't have to practice on like big decisions.
00:10:23.750 --> 00:10:27.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: practice on the little decisions, practice on little decisions that
00:10:27.970 --> 00:10:35.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: don't make a big difference. Like, yeah, do I make a right turn or a left turn is on the right side or the left side.
00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:50.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know. Is it is this person I'm going to meet, who I've never met before. They toll or short, like just asking ourselves those questions and and feeling for what the answer is, and then, seeing what the real answer is.
00:10:52.510 --> 00:11:00.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it actually can give us confidence in our intuition. because over time, you know, in the beginning.
00:11:00.310 --> 00:11:03.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: maybe we're wrong. 50 of the time.
00:11:04.300 --> 00:11:08.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That means we're right. 50% of the time, and that's a pretty good batting average.
00:11:08.890 --> 00:11:17.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then the more we use that muscle the more we use our intuition. It goes from 50 to maybe 60 to maybe 70 to maybe 80.
00:11:19.810 --> 00:11:23.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And those are pretty good averages.
00:11:24.150 --> 00:11:29.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Those are pretty good. you know, probabilities to follow.
00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:37.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So that's my section of the book. It's entitled, When we use our intuition, amazing things happen.

I I really would love to dive into your background a little bit and give our audience a little bit of a sense, because sometimes I feel like when people come on the show and they've
00:13:53.960 --> 00:14:11.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: already achieved a certain amount of self realization, success. And it's easy to like, put people up on a pedestal and say, Oh, my God, they're so amazing! I can never be like that. So I always like to make people human and real, and and to show people that, like we all have struggles, right.
00:14:11.660 --> 00:14:32.689 Heidi Smith: absolutely, absolutely. And and that was An important part of my book was to share that. Where? Where did I start? You know what was the starting point for my my spiritual journey, and I feel like all of us are on our unique journey, and mine began very young.
00:14:32.880 --> 00:14:42.139 Heidi Smith: I had some intense experiences in my childhood, and so that propelled me to seek out
00:14:42.310 --> 00:14:47.379 Heidi Smith: you know, different ways to feel better. I just wanted to feel better because I was
00:14:47.630 --> 00:14:58.119 Heidi Smith: at that time, you know. So my first workshop I ever went to. I was 15 years old. It was a Gestalt workshop. Yeah. And so
00:14:58.350 --> 00:15:15.489 Heidi Smith: you know I my story is that I struggled with anxiety, and that led me into addiction at an early age. I was addicted to alcohol for a large part of my life, and then got into drugs.
00:15:18.370 --> 00:15:30.549 Heidi Smith: well, I was struggling with alcohol and drugs. I was still on this spiritual quest. However, nothing would stick because I was poisoning myself with drugs and alcohol, and so.
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:40.210 Heidi Smith: you know, I was learning all these different things, and then, you know, I get blackout drunk, or you know I I'd get wasted on drugs. And so
00:15:40.290 --> 00:15:47.109 Heidi Smith: and during that time I just was there was so many self destructive behaviors that were happening.
00:15:47.230 --> 00:16:00.419 Heidi Smith: And you know then that would create all kinds of shame and self hatred, and so that it it it turned into this vicious cycle right? And and then eventually.
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:05.160 Heidi Smith: I got to a place. It was actually in a workshop, because I love
00:16:05.190 --> 00:16:20.719 Heidi Smith: working in groups like I do really well with groups. And so I went to this 5 day workshop, and she, the the facilitator. asked me if I had if I had trouble with drugs and alcohol. So.
00:16:20.990 --> 00:16:22.740 Heidi Smith: and of course I did.
00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:32.890 Heidi Smith: and then she asked me to stop drinking for the rest of my life, and I was like, no way. I can't do that right.
00:16:33.010 --> 00:16:49.080 Heidi Smith: But then there was this voice that came to me, and it it didn't feel like it was my voice. It felt like it was a spiritual awakening where the voice was like, what if she's right? And so, instead of fighting.
00:16:49.110 --> 00:16:56.590 Heidi Smith: I surrendered, and I I did quit drinking. and I'm I'm curious. Was there
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:27.079 Heidi Smith: any like? Did she just kind of say this to you out of the blue? Or was there? It was part of her program. Yeah, she actually So this was part of the workshop. Is that was because addiction is such a a huge challenge in society. Every workshop they there was a portion of it where they would say, You know, alcoholics anonymous has a booklet, and it's got a list of things that if you've ever done this because of drugs or alcohol, if you've ever done this. And so they read that out
00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:29.039 Heidi Smith: and asked everyone who
00:17:29.090 --> 00:17:52.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: answer yes to stand up. So I wasn't alone. There was a whole group of us standing up that day. Gotcha, gotcha. Okay, let's hold it there. I do want to talk about your transformation and how you managed to switch it, because I'm sure that was not an easy transition. so let's hold that till after the we come back from the break. Okay.

00:21:01.310 --> 00:21:07.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and welcome back to the conscious, consulting hour awakening humanity. So, Heidi.
00:21:08.450 --> 00:21:15.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: here you are at this workshop. You've had all kinds of addiction issues. I'm sure many other challenges because of that.
00:21:16.270 --> 00:21:20.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The facility this says, you know, can you stop drinking the rest of your life.
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You hear that voice in the back of your head. What if she's right?
00:21:28.810 --> 00:21:32.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What happens next? I'm sure it was not easy.
00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:39.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm sure there's a lot of challenges and and a lot of difficulty dealing with
00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:49.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: kind of the past behavior and trying to change, especially with friends and family members who are used to you being one way. And now you're trying to be a different way.
00:21:50.910 --> 00:21:55.249 Heidi Smith: Yes, well, I mean, it is a journey, and
00:21:56.360 --> 00:22:00.250 Heidi Smith: I mean honestly
00:22:00.430 --> 00:22:12.729 Heidi Smith: there. There certainly were challenges, but there were so many beautiful synchronicities like When I agree, one of the things I did is I agreed to go to 3 12 step meetings a week.
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:26.349 Heidi Smith: and when I got home I found out that there was a meeting like a block and a half away from my house, and I don't drive. So I was like, Thank you. Thank you. Universe, thank you. God, I'll take it! I'll take it.
00:22:26.550 --> 00:22:30.420 Heidi Smith: And you know. the twelve-step program
00:22:30.580 --> 00:22:43.099 Heidi Smith: just resonated for me so powerfully. Because again, I do really well, in groups, like connection is so important for me. And that's actually one of the things
00:22:43.370 --> 00:22:45.270 Heidi Smith: that
00:22:46.230 --> 00:22:59.509 Heidi Smith: we like we when we're in addiction. I you know I was shutting myself down. I was. I was separating myself from people that cared about me. I was isolating big time, which is what happens like.
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:10.169 Heidi Smith: you know. My addiction wanted to keep me alone, so that I would keep using. And just the loneliness that happens in that
00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:22.410 Heidi Smith: So going into these meetings where people were talking about their feelings, and you know how they stopped drinking, how they stopped doing drugs.
00:23:22.490 --> 00:23:29.519 Heidi Smith: You know, it's a very solution oriented program. And that's what I needed. And people were kind enough
00:23:29.700 --> 00:23:52.409 Heidi Smith: to, you know, sit with me and tell me their story, and share what they did, and just knowing it was possible. Right. This is the thing in in my life is, you know, when we believe it, we can achieve it. That's that is a core core belief that I I've seen happen like I've seen come true over and over again as soon as I believe I can do something.
00:23:52.560 --> 00:23:53.960 Heidi Smith: I do it.
00:23:54.210 --> 00:23:58.790 Heidi Smith: and You know I was very fortunate in that
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:07.920 Heidi Smith: a lot of a lot of people were very supportive of my decision. There was. It was only a few things like in my work situation.
00:24:08.040 --> 00:24:22.250 Heidi Smith: You know there was a lot of socializing right? And so that that was a a bit of a challenge. But it I mean, I had to learn how to be now who I was in a world where there's drinking everywhere, like.
00:24:22.410 --> 00:24:25.680 Heidi Smith: you know, that's a big part of society, and
00:24:26.070 --> 00:24:30.250 Heidi Smith: I just felt so much better, you know, not drinking.
00:24:30.560 --> 00:24:41.390 Heidi Smith: that just kept me going. You know it's interesting how you talked about how the connection and how helpful. That was. One of my teachers, he says.
00:24:42.010 --> 00:24:48.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: intimate connection, and he doesn't mean. you know, physical intimacy, but emotional it missing
00:24:48.320 --> 00:24:52.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: intimate connection in and of itself is healing
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:55.840 Heidi Smith: absolutely.
00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:06.869 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and so I can see how like just being able to connect with a supportive group and being honest and open and authentic, and not feeling like you're being judged
00:25:07.260 --> 00:25:09.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that in and of itself
00:25:09.540 --> 00:25:14.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: like it, it just lightens our soul so much, doesn't it?
00:25:15.070 --> 00:25:25.790 Heidi Smith: Absolutely? And I love I can't remember where I read it, but it's intimacy is broken down in to me, see?
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.249 Heidi Smith: And so this is what you're talking about is like.
00:25:29.390 --> 00:25:35.139 Heidi Smith: you know, when I was drinking and doing drugs. I was hiding from everyone.
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:42.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then, when I let go of the drugs and alcohol and opened up to let people see who I was.
00:25:42.190 --> 00:25:45.550 Heidi Smith: and then for me to see who I was to
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:47.840 Heidi Smith: right this is this is the thing.
00:25:48.290 --> 00:26:01.609 Heidi Smith: And then, as soon as I start sharing about what's happening, what's real for me then other people start sharing what's real for them. And it's I'm not alone like, I'm not alone. We are not alone.
00:26:01.930 --> 00:26:23.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Right. It's so interesting, isn't it, that that we all think our problems are so unique and so special. But once we actually open up about them, it's like everybody, has the same problem. Everyone experiences that same disconnection, that alienation that desire to just, you know.
00:26:23.660 --> 00:26:31.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: be be accepted for who we are. And I mean, it's so universal. Yet so often we think it's so unique.
00:26:33.220 --> 00:26:41.980 Heidi Smith: absolutely absolutely. Yeah. And that goes on today, like, whenever you know, whenever I'm trying something new.
00:26:42.710 --> 00:26:51.539 Heidi Smith: there's fear that comes up. There's anxiety that comes up, and it's like, okay and no, no, I know now not to shrink from that. But
00:26:51.550 --> 00:27:09.030 Heidi Smith: the fear and anxiety has something to tell me that these emotions have a message for me. They are my allies. This is, you know something that I've learned before in addiction. I was terrified of all of my emotions, and drinking and drugs was a way to
00:27:09.540 --> 00:27:19.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: hide from the emotions to distract, to not feel, to numb, right? To know my cell phone? Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely.
00:27:19.830 --> 00:27:27.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How long would you say the transition was of once you made the decision to stop
00:27:27.760 --> 00:27:35.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: using substances in that way. like, how long was it until you felt like
00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:55.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you? You really felt good about yourself, and you really felt like those same desires that were pulling you to use, you were able to not necessarily release, but to mitigate and to, you know, like to be able to feel good about being in a group, and P. Other people were drinking, and you not taking a drink?
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:01.029 Heidi Smith: Hmm! Well, I mean, honestly, I
00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:09.650 Heidi Smith: it it was a progression. So I started feeling better right away. that's that was, you know, my, I was very fortunate in that
00:28:09.820 --> 00:28:16.350 Heidi Smith: because I had been on a spiritual quest for so many years
00:28:16.550 --> 00:28:29.160 Heidi Smith: prior to that I had gathered all these tools that I wasn't really using. So I like meditation. I'd all of these things to prop me up. And in this 12 step program, I mean.
00:28:30.110 --> 00:28:35.370 Heidi Smith: step 11 is all about prayer and meditation, because these are things that really
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:42.390 Heidi Smith: help you feel supported right? Because again, it's it's not. You're not doing it alone.
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:46.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And they they say it. So we program. And
00:28:46.700 --> 00:29:06.470 Heidi Smith: you know, whenever I'm having struggles today, I just ask for help, and someone shows up like it could be that I run into somebody on the street that I haven't seen in years, somebody that I feel close to and loved by. And you know there's that connection, and that just helps for to find me against
00:29:06.650 --> 00:29:10.020 Heidi Smith: anything that I'm struggling with, so that I feel stronger.
00:29:10.080 --> 00:29:18.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: wonderful, wonderful, very cool, very cool. All right. It's time for us to take another break when we come back. I really want to get into
00:29:18.620 --> 00:29:32.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how did you decide to become a coach? And and and you know, what point. Did you say? You know what I I I've done enough my own healing. I want to start helping other people to heal, and and what that was like jumping into that. Okay.
00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:53.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: absolutely. Thank you.
00:31:57.550 --> 00:32:10.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and welcome back. so, heidi it. It's something that I've seen many times where people who have had extreme challenges in their life. Once they've overcome the challenges.
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:12.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: they just have a desire to help others.
00:32:13.210 --> 00:32:29.789 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What was it. What was the inspiration, or what was the the moment where you said? Like all this stuff I'm learning. It's not just for my own healing, but I want to use this to help other people, and and you designing to like, go out and and use what you learn to help others.
00:32:31.390 --> 00:32:33.830 Heidi Smith: Well, it'd be. It happened
00:32:34.450 --> 00:32:52.690 Heidi Smith: the first time it happened was with this workshop that I where I told you that I became made the decision to become sober part of their format was that all of the graduates from this 5 day program
00:32:52.890 --> 00:33:08.760 Heidi Smith: we're invited to come and volunteer to help others. Actually, it was 5 days, and then 2 weekends, and so, after you completed that you were invited to come and be like an assistant in the group, to help others. And so I did that.
00:33:08.950 --> 00:33:24.569 Heidi Smith: I did that a couple of times. because, you know, it's it's not just learning for ourselves, but teaching what we know is so powerful to integrate the concepts to, you know, make them so.
00:33:24.700 --> 00:33:29.090 Heidi Smith: part of us, because it's like, see one do and teach one right.
00:33:29.230 --> 00:33:39.960 Heidi Smith: And so that happened. And I remember sitting in my my apartment this 3 bedroom walk up and thinking about. What did I want to do with my life now.
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:57.239 Heidi Smith: and the idea of coaching came to me, and I right away. I pushed it away because I was like, Oh, my God! I can't do that, that I I can't do that. And because I wasn't ready at that point, and you know, this is the thing I want to share with everyone is.
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:08.580 Heidi Smith: I'm sure, a lot of our your audience. You know. They're on their own spiritual quest. And they there is no destination, right? We never graduate.
00:34:08.790 --> 00:34:21.249 Heidi Smith: it's a constant learning. And so for myself. So that happened, I was. I was 35 when I was in that workshop, and I didn't make the the decision to become a coach until I was 50.
00:34:21.699 --> 00:34:25.709 Heidi Smith: So there was a lot that happened along the way.
00:34:25.780 --> 00:34:27.699 Heidi Smith: And,
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:46.950 Heidi Smith: you know we, my experience is that we do things to the best of our ability, and you know I was always involved in personal development and working through different challenges that I had always reaching for a better iteration of myself, like opening to what I was capable of. And
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:50.740 Heidi Smith: when I was 50 I
00:34:50.770 --> 00:35:07.740 Heidi Smith: felt this just painful. You were talking about your bot, our bodies, and and trusting what's going on in our body. And I had this terrible pain in my chest anytime. I tried to think about what's my purpose, what's my purpose? And eventually I recognize that
00:35:08.190 --> 00:35:12.900 Heidi Smith: I was doing some work with a coach around my
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:32.950 Heidi Smith: my sexuality and my sensual life. And so we. We did some exploration into that into the past, and recognize that there was an intense experience from my child, but that was still causing me, you know, suffering, and this is when I was introduced to accelerated evolution.
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:42.389 Heidi Smith: And so she led me through this practice where we addressed this intense experience from my childhood.
00:35:42.810 --> 00:35:49.609 Heidi Smith: and it was a transformative experience. Like all of a sudden, I went from
00:35:50.260 --> 00:36:01.910 Heidi Smith: feeling all of this shame and and anger and fury and hatred around the perpetrator of this situation.
00:36:02.130 --> 00:36:11.420 Heidi Smith: and I just had such an opening of compassion and understanding for everyone involved for myself. And
00:36:11.610 --> 00:36:17.670 Heidi Smith: and so that was like, I'm getting goose months just talking about it. So that was like, you know, it was a mind.
00:36:17.950 --> 00:36:35.070 Heidi Smith: It was a mind-body, energetic experience. And so that's when I knew, oh, my God, this this is extraordinary, and this is what I want to learn and teach people. And so that was the beginning of my coaching.
00:36:35.680 --> 00:36:45.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Help people to understand this, that there are experiences in our life that are traumatic, to whatever degree
00:36:45.730 --> 00:36:57.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that we may not, and when they're very extreme we block out the memory. We may have it. It may not be that extreme, and we may still have. The memory may do some work on it, and we think we've healed it.
00:36:57.220 --> 00:37:00.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But if we're still holding on to the energy of it.
00:37:01.100 --> 00:37:28.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's still controlling us in some way. It's still controlling our behavior. And it's not until we release the energy. And and sometimes that means having to feel the pain of the experience, not not always, but sometimes having to, you know, not relive it, but but just let you know the body has to feel in order to release what it's holding on to sometimes. But it's that energetic release that really gives us freedom from it to, isn't it?
00:37:28.740 --> 00:37:41.620 Heidi Smith: Oh, it is, and I had no idea I had no idea. We don't know what we don't know. This is another one of my favorite things. and so, when I recognize what was possible.
00:37:42.110 --> 00:38:02.739 Heidi Smith: and absolutely it's it it. I did need to go into the experience again to feel everything, and it was done with a a coach and facilitator. So it was a safe environment. You know. I was guided in and guided out so that I didn't get stuck in any of the intense emotions.
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:14.519 Heidi Smith: And this is the thing, and that's why. That's why the title of my book is making friends with the Bookie Man. Because when I had the courage
00:38:14.610 --> 00:38:33.259 Heidi Smith: to explore all of these parts of myself that I was terrified of like, I was terrified to go into that kind of fury. And what if I never came out? You know that was a fear, and this is something that people talked to me about as well, and so
00:38:33.370 --> 00:38:50.709 Heidi Smith: that fear is. it needs our attention, and we need to look after ourselves while we're addressing that. So it's not something to do alone. It's always, you know, whenever we're going into these things, we need support, we need
00:38:50.910 --> 00:39:14.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: guidance right? And whatever it is that calls to you because it's different for everybody, right. Exactly exactly it. It is such a huge difference working with a mentor, a facilitator, a guy to coach than than trying to do it on her own, because just having that other person present to hold space is so important.
00:39:14.670 --> 00:39:23.599 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: really can't emphasize that enough. And I'm glad you brought up your book because I was going to be. My next question is, okay. So you made this decision, you become a coach.
00:39:23.600 --> 00:39:30.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What got you? What kind of bubbled up inside of you to say, Oh, I I really need to write a book. Now, I need to share this with people
00:39:31.230 --> 00:39:32.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in that way.
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:53.280 Heidi Smith: Yeah. Well, you know, part of recovery is sharing your story. So like you, you know, as humans, we, we have the natural inclination. When we find a solution we want to share with people. When we have a great experience, we want to share it with people. And I had always wanted to write a book.
00:39:53.530 --> 00:39:54.660 Heidi Smith: And
00:39:54.870 --> 00:40:06.319 Heidi Smith: because I love writing. It's such a a satisfying experience. you know you you're a talented writer as well, and that was one of my gifts. And
00:40:06.340 --> 00:40:10.410 Heidi Smith: so it's like, Well, how can I use
00:40:10.660 --> 00:40:25.380 Heidi Smith: this experience to help other people? And so that's when the book that's when I knew I wanted to write a book about my story, and it took a coach because I I you know.
00:40:25.510 --> 00:40:39.510 Heidi Smith: coaches a bit of part of my life for decades. And so a coach said, you know you have this story, and it's so powerful you need to write a book, and I just having that one person.
00:40:39.960 --> 00:41:04.539 Heidi Smith: a professional, say, you can do this. I'm like, Okay, I can do it. And then we work together and started. I started writing the book, and you know, and again, it was not a quick process. It takes what it takes, and it's different for every person. For me. It took over 3 years, for from the idea to, you know, having it on Amazon.
00:41:05.150 --> 00:41:17.139 Heidi Smith: okay. So it's relatively new. I was just curious what kind of reactions you've been getting from people so far about it like, how have they responded to you sharing your story?
00:41:17.850 --> 00:41:31.670 Heidi Smith: people can resonate with it. They are the Lots of people are shocked at how raw it is. and that I would put myself out there so vulnerably.
00:41:31.790 --> 00:41:42.420 Heidi Smith: and that just felt really necessary to me like I remember reading Julia Cameron, Who wrote the artist's way. I remember reading her
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:47.560 Heidi Smith: autobiography, and and I was shocked at how raw was.
00:41:47.710 --> 00:42:06.029 Heidi Smith: but that made me trust her that made me understand her in a whole new way. And so I really wanted to offer something to people that have struggled with anxiety, addiction, painful experiences, and also the people that love those people
00:42:06.080 --> 00:42:18.150 Heidi Smith: that they they just don't necessarily understand. And so I just put it all out in the book of what was happening for me. in the hopes that others would know that they were not alone.
00:42:18.570 --> 00:42:23.139 Heidi Smith: and that there's hope, and that there is a way out of these things like
00:42:23.170 --> 00:42:29.549 Heidi Smith: that's the that's the other important point about working with the guide is that they
00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:47.489 Heidi Smith: know what's on the other side of what you're going through right like. There is an exit to whatever the suffering is, whatever the struggle is. And as guides, we see people go through the journey over and over, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. And so that's
00:42:47.490 --> 00:43:10.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: part of what I hold for people when I'm coaching them is that I know that they will find their way out of it, because it is their wisdom that is leading them through, and I'm just holding them while they find that exit.
00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:29.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I I I'm curious, like the people who have seen you through like your darkest days to today, like your family. I don't know if you have any, any close friends that you've kept? I'm I'm curious. What is their reaction? Been over the years as as you've morphed and changed and become who you are today.
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:37.670 Heidi Smith: Oh, wow! That's a great question. Well, You know, my sister in law has been through me.
00:43:37.950 --> 00:43:42.540 Heidi Smith: Been been through, been with me through it all. And so she
00:43:42.570 --> 00:43:52.339 Heidi Smith: that's the thing. When you have dear friends that you've known for decades is that you get to reflect back to each other how far you've come, because it can be
00:43:52.370 --> 00:44:02.310 Heidi Smith: easy to minimize your accomplishments. And this is something that I I talk a lot about with my clients is how important it is
00:44:02.550 --> 00:44:32.439 Heidi Smith: to celebrate what we've done, and to acknowledge ourselves for every piece that we do. And you know what we focus on expands. This is a universal law. And when we're focusing on what's going well in our lives, what we're doing well, what we want, you know, instead of what's not working. What's what we suck at? You know we we we aren't like seeing where we're not. All of these things
00:44:32.610 --> 00:44:36.910 Heidi Smith: focusing on the bright side of the street, as it were.
00:44:37.070 --> 00:44:43.949 Heidi Smith: The light just gets brighter.
00:44:44.290 --> 00:44:51.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: challenging for people who have seen us through our worst times to
00:44:51.530 --> 00:45:02.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: accept and recognize the change in us like there's always that skepticism in the beginning, until it really become so obvious they can't deny it anymore. Because is that
00:45:02.180 --> 00:45:08.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: part of us that doesn't like change. So we kind of keep people in these similar projections
00:45:09.110 --> 00:45:12.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: until we just can't hold it any longer.
00:45:13.600 --> 00:45:38.810 Heidi Smith: Gotcha, I that really hasn't been my experience. I find that the universe, like people that don't resonate with you like when you start raising your vibration energetically. People can raise it momentarily to stay with you, but if they're not actually at that same vibration, they will just naturally fall away.
00:45:39.030 --> 00:45:51.459 Heidi Smith: And you know I've had the great experience of people that I love dearly while I was in the middle of my addiction, and then we lost touch with each other.
00:45:51.520 --> 00:46:01.730 Heidi Smith: They showed up later in my life. And then we were able to reconnect again. And I mean, it's just been such a beautiful gift, you know, just keeping open.
00:46:01.740 --> 00:46:13.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, beautiful, beautiful. Yeah, that's always something when you can reconnect with somebody from years ago, and and be able to
00:46:13.370 --> 00:46:20.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to learn about each other's journey and and and be able to see the difference between where we are and where we were.
00:46:21.630 --> 00:46:24.050 Heidi Smith: Absolutely
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:41.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: believe it or not, it's time for us to take our last break of the show. So when we come back I would love, if we could, to maybe give people something that they can use in their day to day life to help them with whatever struggles they have at the moment, because there, there's so much in this
00:46:41.720 --> 00:46:55.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: post-pandemic world that we live in. People I feel are more stressed than ever before. so maybe there's some tools or something that we can do to help to give our audience something to to serve them. Okay.
00:46:56.370 --> 00:47:17.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: thank you. Awesome, awesome. So you don't want to miss this. So stay tuned. We'll be right back with our guest, Heidi Smith, master coach and trainer, transformational guide and author of the book, making friends with the Boogeyman. I highly recommend you. Go out and get it, and we will be right back to wrap it all up in just a moment.
00:49:23.310 --> 00:49:40.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and welcome back to the conscious consult now awakening humanity. So, Heidi I'm wondering if there's something a resource or something that we can give our audience to help them to get feel like they have a little support when whatever challenges they're dealing with at the moment.
00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:52.260 Heidi Smith: Absolutely. so there's many things One thing is my book. Making friends with the Boogey man, transforming tragedy into triumph.
00:49:52.280 --> 00:50:02.369 Heidi Smith: And I've got resources at the end of the book. So I take you on a journey, and there's lots of different tips in there that I use through my life to help myself.
00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:12.350 Heidi Smith: And another wonderful resource is I'm involved with a project called A Year of Joy.
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:21.140 Heidi Smith: And so 2 2 partners that I'm working with Debbie Slinger, Helman and Andrew Cannon.
00:50:21.390 --> 00:50:26.840 Heidi Smith: they noticed, you know, the mayhem that's going out on in the world, and they want it.
00:50:27.120 --> 00:50:36.020 Heidi Smith: People to feel more happiness. So they went, and they did some extensive studies on. You know what makes people happy?
00:50:36.040 --> 00:51:01.230 Heidi Smith: How do people experience joy? What can we do like, what are the steps that we can take like, what's the recipe? And so they created a website called The Art and Science of Joy. And all of this is on my website. So if you go to Heidi coach.com, you'll see this on the website. And so they created a free membership site. So it doesn't cost anything
00:51:01.730 --> 00:51:16.300 Heidi Smith: to to join. This site is called a year of joy, and every week they invite on a new expert in all these different areas of joy. And so I, my joy superpower is transforming tragedy.
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:39.479 Heidi Smith: And so I've got on, there, there's a podcast from With me. There is a beautiful recording of a live event that we did where I actually do a guided the visualization with the audience. So that's there. And there's all these different exercises that I offer on the website. And there's
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:51.590 Heidi Smith: so many other experts on there. There's experts on connection and belonging. And your physical health. So all of these things are are offered on there.
00:51:52.050 --> 00:51:58.159 Heidi Smith: And so what I can say right now here is
00:51:59.070 --> 00:52:02.629 Heidi Smith: believing that you're okay.
00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:14.629 Heidi Smith: and and going with that mantra like, bless Louise! Louise! Oh, hey! I loved her for so many decades, and you know she had all these beautiful affirmations.
00:52:14.770 --> 00:52:19.850 Heidi Smith: and, you know, like you were talking at the beginning of of the show.
00:52:19.870 --> 00:52:24.060 Heidi Smith: trusting our bodies and using our breath
00:52:24.250 --> 00:52:29.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to come into our bodies and relax and
00:52:29.550 --> 00:52:33.950 Heidi Smith: enjoy this beautiful vessel that we have.
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:37.050 Heidi Smith: and a simple breathing technique
00:52:37.150 --> 00:53:06.220 Heidi Smith: a Yoga breathing technique is called all alternate nostril breathing. And should we give it a try here today, all right. And so alternate nostril breathing all it is is you plug one nostril. So let's say, if you want to do with me. So you're using your thumb and say your index finger, so plug your right nostril with your right thumb and breathe in through your left nostril
00:53:08.110 --> 00:53:12.759 Heidi Smith: and then plug both nostrils for a brief second, and then
00:53:12.830 --> 00:53:17.869 Heidi Smith: you're planning the left nostril and exhaling out the right
00:53:20.100 --> 00:53:22.390 Heidi Smith: and then inhaling through the right.
00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:27.550 Heidi Smith: but both exhale through the left
00:53:30.230 --> 00:53:33.650 Heidi Smith: and in through the right and through the left for me.
00:53:35.090 --> 00:53:40.590 Heidi Smith: and sometimes it makes weird noises close to your dollar and out through the right
00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:45.379 Heidi Smith: and through the right.
00:53:48.040 --> 00:53:49.470 Heidi Smith: how? Through the that.
00:53:52.080 --> 00:53:53.649 Heidi Smith: and through the left.
00:53:55.710 --> 00:53:57.609 Heidi Smith: hold it out through the right.
00:54:00.780 --> 00:54:04.549 Heidi Smith: and so just doing that breathing
00:54:04.650 --> 00:54:11.159 Heidi Smith: it actually. balances both. Hemispheres of your brain and just noticing the difference in your body
00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:13.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yeah.
00:54:15.170 --> 00:54:16.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so import
