Sam reads one of his blog posts titled “Commitments Are Here to Serve Us, Not Bind Us.” One of the points he makes is that we should look at commitments as joy in our life, not obligations or “prison sentences”. He talks about looking at them with a more positive mindset and understanding that we can attempt to reevaluate commitments and be flexible with how we go about it instead of treating it as something you have to live up to no matter what. Sam also introduces his guest, Jennifer Regular, an inspirational speaker, author, podcast host, and visionary leader. Jennifer speaks about her passion for wanting to inspire from a young age. She’s always wanted to be a guide of some sort and help people find their calling.
During her time in university, Jennifer studies psychology. She's always been intrigued by serial killers, the psychology behind human nature and the mind. Jennifer talks about how this relates to her current focus which are serial entrepreneurs of the world. The relation is the drive and focus as well as learning how dedication and obsession (in a healthy way) helps them share their message. Not seeing the vision, values and changes in the justice system made her shift away from her initial focus in her career. She talks about going through a tough time seeing how misaligned her values and passion were with the organizations and systems she worked with. Jennifer also talks about unfortunate deaths from those close to her and how that also relates to her calling. She mentions switching into working with leaders and entrepreneurs as a way of now working with “soul to soul” while on a journey to also healing herself.
Jennifer talks with Sam about some steps she has taken to transform and heal in her life professionally and personally. One example was someone she worked with who came to her feeling drained and had given up on a lot in their life. There was a lot of disturbance in their life and not a lot of support. She mentions working with people on integrated energy therapy and other forms of healing while also having conversations; simply talking to people and reflecting to then enter a new chapter in their lives. Jennifer says how she loves seeing the restoration that comes with this process.
00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:39.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Good afternoon, my conscious co-creators. Good morning. Good evening. Wherever you're tuning in from welcome to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity.
00:00:39.840 --> 00:01:06.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Very, very pleased that you are all here with me today. We've got another wonderful show in store for you with a fabulous guest. I hope you really like her, and we'll get to that in just a moment. But of course, 1st we have my blog post for this week from a couple of years ago. Of course, I'm just taking these in order one by one, and today we're up to the blog post that says it's entitled
00:01:07.210 --> 00:01:12.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Commitments are here to serve us, not bind us.
00:01:13.460 --> 00:01:16.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Commitments are important contracts.
00:01:16.310 --> 00:01:19.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They let people know what to expect.
00:01:19.630 --> 00:01:24.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The most important commitments are the ones we make to ourselves.
00:01:24.580 --> 00:01:27.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yet we can sometimes fall into a trap.
00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:32.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our commitments are meant to support us.
00:01:32.830 --> 00:01:37.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to give us direction, and let us know where to point our energy.
00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:43.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The danger lies in setting a commitment in stone.
00:01:44.510 --> 00:01:48.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Of course we should not let go of our commitments too easily.
00:01:48.910 --> 00:01:53.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we do, those around us will feel like they can't trust us.
00:01:54.010 --> 00:01:58.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: People will feel our words cannot be taken seriously.
00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:05.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so we might think more carefully before, in entering into any commitments.
00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:14.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we have, then we can be present to how the commitment feels to us.
00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:17.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for that might shift
00:02:17.430 --> 00:02:18.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: halfway through.
00:02:19.750 --> 00:02:23.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Perhaps we really were committed to the project when we started.
00:02:24.140 --> 00:02:27.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe we even worked hard at it for a period of time.
00:02:28.870 --> 00:02:32.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But a point can come when the commitment changes
00:02:33.030 --> 00:02:36.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from something to honor to a burden.
00:02:37.090 --> 00:02:42.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for when we lose the energy or drive to stay engaged in the commitment.
00:02:42.430 --> 00:02:46.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it can start to feel heavy and restrictive.
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:55.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that is, when we can look at the commitment again, and decide if we want to recommit to it
00:02:55.210 --> 00:02:56.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or release it.
00:02:57.340 --> 00:03:01.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: A commitment should not be a jail sentence
00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:06.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: commitment should should support us and allow us to flourish.
00:03:07.230 --> 00:03:14.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet the stories we tell ourselves about our commitments can turn them from something wonderful
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to a leash that we pull against.
00:03:18.570 --> 00:03:24.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: knowing when to leave a commitment and when to stay can be tricky.
00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:31.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for we have to look at all the implications of staying or going
00:03:31.150 --> 00:03:32.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: seriously.
00:03:33.660 --> 00:03:41.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Can we find a way to turn what now feels like a heavy load into something new and fresh.
00:03:42.970 --> 00:03:46.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Perhaps it doesn't have to be an either, or
00:03:47.140 --> 00:03:52.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: maybe we can find that delicate balance between staying and going.
00:03:54.460 --> 00:03:56.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: One thing is for certain.
00:03:56.270 --> 00:04:02.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If the commitment is no longer serve serving us, we need to reevaluate it
00:04:03.350 --> 00:04:08.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to at least consider letting it go for now.
00:04:08.950 --> 00:04:15.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for if we are open to the idea that we can drop a commitment that might no longer be serving us.
00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:21.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It might just give us the space to feel better about it.
00:04:22.130 --> 00:04:31.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just giving room for the possibility of letting it go might give us the necessary space to look at it in a new light
00:04:32.030 --> 00:04:34.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that no longer feels so heavy.
00:04:35.540 --> 00:04:41.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The end result should be that our commitments are joys in our life.
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not obligations or prison sentences.
00:04:46.140 --> 00:04:47.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that way
00:04:47.750 --> 00:04:51.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we will be more committed than ever.
00:04:52.550 --> 00:04:57.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So are there commitments in your life that you want to re-examine.
00:04:59.120 --> 00:04:59.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So
00:05:00.380 --> 00:05:03.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I wrote this blog post a couple of years ago
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:05.635 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was kind of at the
00:05:09.970 --> 00:05:12.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: beginning of a big phase
00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:16.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of learning to be okay with being flexible
00:05:17.320 --> 00:05:20.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of learning to be okay, that
00:05:21.760 --> 00:05:24.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: committing to doing something.
00:05:24.470 --> 00:05:26.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then not having enough
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: response to make it worthwhile to do
00:05:31.210 --> 00:05:33.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to to not make
00:05:33.410 --> 00:05:36.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the fact that we put a date on the calendar
00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:44.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be a prison sentence, that we have to do this, no matter what, just because we said we were going to do it.
00:05:47.750 --> 00:05:51.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and just this whole idea around
00:05:52.710 --> 00:05:56.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being able to look at a commitment in a way that
00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:01.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we don't have to feel it's so restrictive.
00:06:03.030 --> 00:06:06.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and seeing how that actually gives us more space
00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:08.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to examine it
00:06:09.610 --> 00:06:11.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and to look at it
00:06:11.510 --> 00:06:15.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in a more objective way, to be able to say, you know what
00:06:15.650 --> 00:06:21.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: this actually still feels good, even if it's not what we originally intended.
00:06:22.070 --> 00:06:24.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or to look at it and say, you know what
00:06:24.290 --> 00:06:33.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: this really isn't going the way we originally intended. This doesn't feel like it's serving us. It doesn't feel like it's serving the people.
00:06:33.090 --> 00:06:36.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The other people on the other side of the commitment.
00:06:36.730 --> 00:06:41.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So perhaps we need to have a conversation and talk about changing this commitment.
00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:46.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know. Sometimes I feel like this word commitment.
00:06:47.240 --> 00:07:03.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, kinds of reminds us of the 10 Commandments that that you know once it's written in stone. That's it, that it never changes that that there's no room for reevaluation, and and re examining those commitments.
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:11.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and what I found for myself was, and and I don't know if this will feel the same for you or not.
00:07:12.970 --> 00:07:18.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that when I at least give space to re-examine the commitment.
00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:23.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to so to at least give myself the possibility of.
00:07:23.530 --> 00:07:26.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe I don't have to live up to this commitment.
00:07:27.340 --> 00:07:32.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe there's a way of shifting it and changing it and postponing and doing whatever
00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:35.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that actually
00:07:35.810 --> 00:07:38.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: feels much better now
00:07:39.110 --> 00:07:40.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that just
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: having that possibility
00:07:44.150 --> 00:07:55.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: helped me to feel like, oh, okay, this commitment doesn't feel like such a heavy burden. I can actually renegotiate it or change it if I want to.
00:07:56.370 --> 00:07:59.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So now I'm much more likely to stay with it.
00:08:02.290 --> 00:08:06.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so it's it's kind of a paradox in a way
00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:07.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that
00:08:08.200 --> 00:08:11.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we make it okay to let go of a commitment.
00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:14.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we actually feel better about keeping it.
00:08:17.030 --> 00:08:19.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But it's also realizing that.
00:08:19.990 --> 00:08:25.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, when we're making a commitment, we're making it either to ourselves or to someone else.
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.999 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when we're making it to someone else.
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:38.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we might think that they want to keep it the same throughout the entire length of the commitment. And and sometimes they're just as okay with changing the commitment as we are.
00:08:39.880 --> 00:08:48.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so it's learning to sort of have this flexibility of thought around the thing around our concept of commitment.
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Them
00:08:51.610 --> 00:08:55.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: gives us a little more space, a little more room, a little more
00:08:56.430 --> 00:09:00.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: ability to navigate it, so we can feel
00:09:00.910 --> 00:09:02.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a bit better about it.
00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:09.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I don't know if this is resonating with you or not.
00:09:10.900 --> 00:09:20.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because I do know, like there are some people out there that it's like you make the commitment. You have to stick with it like it's black and white. It's in the square box, and that's it.
00:09:21.940 --> 00:09:24.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I've just found over my
00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:27.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the few decades that I've been on this planet
00:09:29.920 --> 00:09:32.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that in the end that doesn't really serve us.
00:09:33.700 --> 00:09:37.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that that very black and white attitude towards
00:09:38.110 --> 00:09:40.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: making a commitment.
00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:44.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It actually
00:09:44.750 --> 00:09:48.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: makes the energy around the commitment so heavy
00:09:51.560 --> 00:09:54.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that it actually takes away
00:09:55.640 --> 00:09:59.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from what it is we're trying to accomplish with the commitment.
00:10:00.610 --> 00:10:04.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and ultimately, right. That's really the whole
00:10:04.810 --> 00:10:14.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: purpose behind the commitment. It's the spirit of it. It's it's what are we trying to accomplish? And and it's how are we going to accomplish it in the best way possible.
00:10:18.030 --> 00:10:20.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So my invitation for this week.
00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:25.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I don't know if this will resonate with you or not
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is to take a look at all your commitments, or at least the big ones.
00:10:32.790 --> 00:10:40.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and just have a conversation with the person on the other side of the commitment. And if it's you, just take, have a conversation with you in the mirror
00:10:41.830 --> 00:10:43.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and say, like, Hey.
00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:47.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I know you really committed to this, and maybe the thing you committed to
00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:53.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was, you know, going to the gym every day.
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:59.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and maybe you'll find, after a couple of months, that every day is just a little bit too much.
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so maybe you look at yourself and say you know what I think.
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:09.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I think it would service better to commit to going to the gym every other day instead of every day. I just feel too worn out.
00:11:13.790 --> 00:11:14.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I
00:11:15.210 --> 00:11:18.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so for this week, let's just look at those commitments.
00:11:18.540 --> 00:11:21.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and if it's a commitment to another person.
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:30.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and maybe the commitment just doesn't feel as good as it did when you started the commitment. Maybe have a conversation with the person
00:11:31.270 --> 00:11:33.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and talk about the commitment
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:38.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and ask them, Hey, does this commitment still feel good to you?
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Are you open to? Maybe
00:11:40.630 --> 00:11:43.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: looking at this commitment again.
00:11:43.910 --> 00:11:47.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and maybe a tweaking it and adjusting it. That.
00:11:47.330 --> 00:11:51.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: given today's circumstances compared to
00:11:51.800 --> 00:11:59.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we made the commitment initially, maybe we need to adjust it slightly and see what the response is.
00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:07.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you never know. They might be just as open to modifying and adjusting that commitment as you are.
00:12:10.010 --> 00:12:12.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I guess this is a lesson in just
00:12:13.300 --> 00:12:15.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not assuming
00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:18.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that anything is written in stone.
00:12:19.190 --> 00:12:23.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not assuming that nothing is unchangeable.
00:12:24.970 --> 00:12:27.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And again, it, it doesn't mean that we
00:12:27.780 --> 00:12:34.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: treat our commitments so lightly that that we cast them aside so easily. It's not what I'm saying.
00:12:36.950 --> 00:12:40.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm just saying. Maybe there's some room
00:12:41.190 --> 00:12:42.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to reconsider.
00:12:43.130 --> 00:12:44.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to adjust
00:12:45.640 --> 00:12:47.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or to maybe end the commitment early.
00:12:48.390 --> 00:13:00.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe everything that the other person wanted out of the commitment has already been fulfilled, and they don't feel the need to continue with the commitment. And and maybe you're just feeling that energy.

00:15:53.470 --> 00:16:11.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I'm I'm curious. Did did you always envision yourself being such a inspirational figure and author and podcast. Host? When you were a little girl, I mean, was it like, Oh, mommy, when I grow up, I want to inspire, you know, visionary leaders in in all over the world.
00:16:12.498 --> 00:16:29.240 Jennifer Regular: You know what the all over the world thing started with the doll I had, and it was a beautiful doll. It was a multicultural doll, and each face there was a face and then an address to it, and then you flip the dress, and then it changes face to a different culture, different cultural.
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:29.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Wow!
00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:34.580 Jennifer Regular: Visual and look. And yeah, I traced it back to that. When I started
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:46.350 Jennifer Regular: feeling that world kinship, the global kinship of everyone and everything. And just had this wide eyed vision of really co-creating global harmony.
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:47.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Think it was in.
00:16:47.360 --> 00:17:00.150 Jennifer Regular: 7th grade. Well, a lot of things happened along the way, but just some of these pivotal times to answer your question. I wanted to be. I wanted to grow up and be a guidance. Counselor. Specialist is what I found out was the name of it.
00:17:00.370 --> 00:17:01.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Wow!
00:17:01.130 --> 00:17:15.340 Jennifer Regular: And yeah, just interesting thinking of that. I've always wanting to be a guide of sorts and really specializing and helping to direct people into what most lights them up into their calling.
00:17:15.890 --> 00:17:21.699 Jennifer Regular: However, in university, you know, it was like, now you're asking me how I made the switch from
00:17:22.390 --> 00:17:27.411 Jennifer Regular: studying serial killers into wanting to work with serial entrepreneurs. And that's
00:17:28.840 --> 00:17:30.539 Jennifer Regular: story on its own.
00:17:30.540 --> 00:17:33.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Let's let's hold that one till after the break. But.
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:35.020 Jennifer Regular: Yeah, sure.
00:17:35.690 --> 00:17:36.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Everyone. Okay.
00:17:37.520 --> 00:17:44.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I have to admit you were the 1st guest I've ever had who went from thinking about serial killers to serial entrepreneurs. That's a new one on me.
00:17:45.210 --> 00:17:59.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I want to give you a lot of kudos for that. Let's take a quick break. Cause we gotta take our breaks, and and when we come back, let let's dive into that. What did you study in in University.
00:17:59.210 --> 00:18:00.050 Jennifer Regular: Okay.
00:18:00.890 --> 00:18:06.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: With. And then how along the way, did that transform into what you're doing today? Okay, Jennifer.
00:18:06.810 --> 00:18:08.230 Jennifer Regular: Okay. Sounds. Great.
00:18:08.230 --> 00:18:30.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Wonderful. So everyone, please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity. We do this every Thursday 12 noon to one Pm, Eastern time right here on talk radio down Nyc and all over social media and Youtube and Facebook and Twitter and Linkedin and Twitch. And we will be right back with our guest, Jennifer regular in just a moment.
00:20:45.620 --> 00:21:03.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And welcome back to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity. We're speaking this hour with my guest, Jennifer regular. So, Jennifer, I think everyone's ears kind of perked up when you mentioned serial killers. So so what did you study in university? And and what did you sort of start off your career as.
00:21:04.560 --> 00:21:28.549 Jennifer Regular: Yeah. Well, I have a degree in psychology. It's just a, it's a well, not just, but it's it's a BA in honor psychology. My intention going into university was to become a clinical forensic psychologist. And so I started studying that. But it was actually between my 3rd and 4th year that my father passed, and was a very devastating event to my life, and shifted a whole trajectory of things.
00:21:28.550 --> 00:21:36.810 Jennifer Regular: although I did once I left University work with Federal offenders in a halfway house for a while, and then evolved into
00:21:37.100 --> 00:21:39.989 Jennifer Regular: many other jobs and roles. Beyond that
00:21:40.190 --> 00:21:51.720 Jennifer Regular: it was just this, I think. I grew up watching a lot of true crime and psychological thrillers and that sort of thing, and it just really intrigued me
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.509 Jennifer Regular: about the criminal mind and the drive
00:21:56.150 --> 00:22:08.370 Jennifer Regular: and the obsessive, compulsive behavior that came through that. So my BA thesis was on serial killing, doing a critical analysis of behavior and personality
00:22:08.460 --> 00:22:17.669 Jennifer Regular: and looking through that and just having this belief, this conviction, and the strive that it's almost like a tunnel vision, focus.
00:22:17.670 --> 00:22:18.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hmm.
00:22:18.340 --> 00:22:21.269 Jennifer Regular: That was fascinating to me, and
00:22:21.530 --> 00:22:23.140 Jennifer Regular: something that
00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:28.210 Jennifer Regular: I was really curious about, as far as human nature.
00:22:29.010 --> 00:22:31.110 Jennifer Regular: And how to transform that.
00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:48.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm I'm I'm really fascinated by this. I'm I'm curious in in studying about sort of the the mind of a serial killer. Did you learn anything that really really surprised you, that that in doing your research and your studies, you you came across and like
00:22:48.270 --> 00:22:50.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Oh, wow! I never would have thought of that.
00:22:51.750 --> 00:23:03.580 Jennifer Regular: Actually, yes, when I started studying and having different books it was interesting to learn that many of the serial killers from way back when were actually women
00:23:03.970 --> 00:23:11.570 Jennifer Regular: poisoning their their husbands and spouses, and so on. Yeah, and you don't really, ever hear about that.
00:23:11.570 --> 00:23:15.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: No, no, cause. You always think of the Jeffrey Dahmers of the world.
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:16.410 Jennifer Regular: Yeah, yeah.
00:23:16.410 --> 00:23:17.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, exactly.
00:23:17.010 --> 00:23:19.310 Jennifer Regular: Exactly. But it was like these quiet
00:23:19.710 --> 00:23:23.700 Jennifer Regular: moments through that. Yeah, so that was interesting. Find.
00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:37.000 Jennifer Regular: yeah. And how does that relate to serial entrepreneurs. What was many years after that I really started working with the entrepreneurs and the multi passionate. And again, it's that drive and that focus. And.
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:37.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And.
00:23:37.330 --> 00:23:38.850 Jennifer Regular: Learning how
00:23:40.330 --> 00:24:01.679 Jennifer Regular: obsessive, compulsive, not in a disordered way, but like really determined right, dedicated, committed, and feeling called to a certain path, and that comes from a belief and an outcome of. For instance, for the people I work with wanting to uplift humanity and wanting to share a message, a deep message.
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:02.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hmm.
00:24:02.310 --> 00:24:11.219 Jennifer Regular: So that's more of a lighter version of what a serial killer was trying to do through their acts is sharing some sort of message right and.
00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:12.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Right.
00:24:12.674 --> 00:24:24.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Was there some something? Was there some incident that kind of causes you to say like, I don't want to deal with criminals anymore. I wanted to deal with people who maybe contribute to society instead.
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.809 Jennifer Regular: It was actually the system that changed things for me. The Federal.
00:24:26.810 --> 00:24:28.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: System.
00:24:28.290 --> 00:24:32.049 Jennifer Regular: And not seeing the alignments
00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:39.080 Jennifer Regular: in vision and values, and the way that we were working to to transform.
00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:42.879 Jennifer Regular: The behavior and and the way things are.
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:45.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Right, that that it's actually more of a system.
00:24:45.730 --> 00:24:47.650 Jennifer Regular: Really fit into it? Yeah.
00:24:47.650 --> 00:24:52.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That it's more of a system of punishment as opposed to a rehabilitation system.
00:24:53.370 --> 00:25:02.600 Jennifer Regular: Yeah, there's that. And yeah, I guess there's that. And also the policies and legislation, and that that went through in every system. I worked with.
00:25:03.260 --> 00:25:07.649 Jennifer Regular: Into. I worked with in mental health for a number of years, and addiction.
00:25:07.650 --> 00:25:08.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Look out!
00:25:08.580 --> 00:25:10.754 Jennifer Regular: Homelessness, domestic violence,
00:25:11.560 --> 00:25:14.849 Jennifer Regular: working with people with severe
00:25:14.930 --> 00:25:20.309 Jennifer Regular: multiple diagnoses and anything that created barriers and
00:25:20.600 --> 00:25:24.210 Jennifer Regular: hindered our growth and well-being in any way
00:25:24.330 --> 00:25:30.900 Jennifer Regular: I found the systems that tried to support it actually didn't. And this is what led me into my work.
00:25:30.930 --> 00:25:36.549 Jennifer Regular: and what I found through that is very draining for me and tiring for me
00:25:36.620 --> 00:25:39.890 Jennifer Regular: to work within any of those systems and
00:25:39.980 --> 00:25:43.969 Jennifer Regular: discovering that really the system's not a system, it really doesn't work.
00:25:43.970 --> 00:25:44.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Like.
00:25:44.310 --> 00:25:49.620 Jennifer Regular: To have the kind of outcomes that I wanted to be able to
00:25:49.850 --> 00:26:05.819 Jennifer Regular: facilitate, right, to help facilitate that growth and wellbeing. So, no matter what for my work took. There was that commitment like you spoke about the dedication, the devotion to bringing up the best in people. I had it
00:26:05.840 --> 00:26:21.820 Jennifer Regular: very natural tendency to see everyone in their high slate to really see potential, that they're not necessarily aware of themselves, and it took many forms of realizing how I can guide the destiny of souls into their most empowered way of being.
00:26:21.890 --> 00:26:25.050 Jennifer Regular: Couple of things I discovered in that work was that
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:28.620 Jennifer Regular: all those organizations and agencies
00:26:28.630 --> 00:26:34.040 Jennifer Regular: weren't aligned in their vision and their mission, and the values that they had put forth.
00:26:34.230 --> 00:26:34.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hmm.
00:26:34.930 --> 00:26:35.750 Jennifer Regular: And I kept
00:26:36.330 --> 00:26:46.539 Jennifer Regular: this trial and error going through different organizations, I thought, were aligned in that and that were in line with my own, until I discovered my own personal mission and my own.
00:26:46.540 --> 00:26:47.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Own values and.
00:26:47.780 --> 00:26:57.110 Jennifer Regular: How I was being in alignment or not in that. And so I went through compassion, fatigue, adrenal fatigue, holding back my potential and not
00:26:57.310 --> 00:27:14.059 Jennifer Regular: becoming really disillusioned by any hope of helping humanity in any way cause. There's so many hindrances to that, you know, and in my own life, seeing how that came internally and became very misaligned, and it was like being in this fog
00:27:14.080 --> 00:27:18.800 Jennifer Regular: of fear, obligation, and guilt. If you look at Bog as an acronym.
00:27:18.800 --> 00:27:19.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Oh!
00:27:19.410 --> 00:27:24.479 Jennifer Regular: Picks it so well right. This heaviness, this obscurity of not being.
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Able to see.
00:27:25.170 --> 00:27:32.490 Jennifer Regular: Fully when you're caught up, and have that motivation of maybe not necessarily becoming aware of it till later.
00:27:32.510 --> 00:27:44.960 Jennifer Regular: that, motivated by fear, obligation, or guilt. And I didn't want to relate to people role to role anymore. That was the second learning from that. I wanted to connect soul to soul.
00:27:45.260 --> 00:28:06.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Gotcha. I I'm I'm curious when you kind of decided to switch. And and from working with with sort of this one population to now a different population. What was the hardest part of that transition for you like what? When you know? 1st you gotta make the decision, and then you gotta sort of jump ship. But then, like once you jump ship.
00:28:06.950 --> 00:28:09.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it ain't always so easy to like.
00:28:09.270 --> 00:28:23.170 Jennifer Regular: No, it wasn't no, it wasn't I started out working in the healing arts. I just felt, there was a lot of healing that I needed to do because of what came personally misaligned in my life.
00:28:23.210 --> 00:28:25.679 Jennifer Regular: and then started
00:28:25.940 --> 00:28:28.110 Jennifer Regular: noticing what worked for me and
00:28:28.430 --> 00:28:39.289 Jennifer Regular: what might be able to help others too. So I was facilitating a lot of healing and empowerment transformational workshops. In my early years, as my 1st entrepreneurial journey.
00:28:39.700 --> 00:28:40.700 Jennifer Regular: And
00:28:42.300 --> 00:28:51.060 Jennifer Regular: then wanting to build that up, you know, feeling the excitement in that. And then it became a challenge to how to sustain that vision, how to.
00:28:51.060 --> 00:28:51.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: System.
00:28:51.490 --> 00:29:11.240 Jennifer Regular: The momentum and my own energy in that, because I'm very much a giver and wanting to to give all the time, and then getting caught up as you were talking about in the blog in the commitment, right? Where was I placed in my loyalties? Was I over committing myself? Was I giving too much of myself that
00:29:11.610 --> 00:29:13.219 Jennifer Regular: again I wasn't
00:29:13.590 --> 00:29:20.590 Jennifer Regular: in balance because I wasn't living my truth. I was doing things more out of obligation rather than passion.
00:29:20.760 --> 00:29:24.540 Jennifer Regular: and when I discover the true meaning of passion.
00:29:24.570 --> 00:29:27.140 Jennifer Regular: that's when everything opened up for me.
00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:32.190 Jennifer Regular: The way I was shown what true passion is.
00:29:33.060 --> 00:29:40.289 Jennifer Regular: how I choose that over the obligation is that when you break up the word passion. It's pass eye on.
00:29:40.290 --> 00:29:41.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yes.
00:29:41.520 --> 00:29:47.990 Jennifer Regular: That I, being your soul's expression of what you're here to pass on in this lifetime.
00:29:49.190 --> 00:29:58.920 Jennifer Regular: And that really reinforced itself through while I mentioned my father's death. Well, he died when I was 21 so more than half a lifetime ago.
00:29:59.130 --> 00:30:03.559 Jennifer Regular: but up to that point there were 17 deaths that I had experienced.
00:30:03.900 --> 00:30:04.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Young's family.
00:30:04.470 --> 00:30:05.570 Jennifer Regular: And friends.
00:30:05.610 --> 00:30:06.700 Jennifer Regular: and when you've had that.
00:30:06.790 --> 00:30:07.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Much exposure.
00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:36.039 Jennifer Regular: To the loss of, you know life in that way. Then you hear a lot of what people talk about. 1st of all, of the person that left on their essence, their core essences, the impact, the influence that they had on the other people's lives that are left behind. You get down to what's really important, because you realize how precious life is. We recognize that time is not a renewable resource. We don't want to be living with regret, and
00:30:36.070 --> 00:30:37.570 Jennifer Regular: you know, wishing
00:30:37.990 --> 00:30:40.329 Jennifer Regular: we had all of this time
00:30:40.490 --> 00:30:45.030 Jennifer Regular: when we run out of it right? Or or things that happen.
00:30:45.140 --> 00:30:49.259 Jennifer Regular: and then later, experiencing loss in many other ways, and just
00:30:49.470 --> 00:30:51.640 Jennifer Regular: no like being so.
00:30:54.610 --> 00:31:02.020 Jennifer Regular: I guess, built up a natural capacity to have that non-attachment to recognize impermanence.
00:31:02.450 --> 00:31:07.530 Jennifer Regular: and so letting go of the obligation and the commitment.
00:31:07.690 --> 00:31:12.460 Jennifer Regular: but recognizing what I most stand for, and that's what I.
00:31:12.460 --> 00:31:13.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Bringing out.
00:31:13.250 --> 00:31:14.409 Jennifer Regular: 2 is
00:31:14.470 --> 00:31:18.330 Jennifer Regular: what are like to stand up for what you're most about right.
00:31:18.330 --> 00:31:18.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You are.
00:31:18.760 --> 00:31:21.300 Jennifer Regular: I that you're here to pass on.
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.910 Jennifer Regular: And that's that spiritual essence, your core
00:31:26.660 --> 00:31:27.840 Jennifer Regular: energy
00:31:27.870 --> 00:31:29.810 Jennifer Regular: of what you're here to do. Yeah.
00:31:29.810 --> 00:31:41.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So so it sounds like this was a transition that probably took several years, that 1st you you were on a path sort of of self healing. And then, as you, you kind of found
00:31:41.630 --> 00:31:43.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a better
00:31:44.010 --> 00:31:48.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: way to heal yourself, that that then you started to embrace
00:31:48.450 --> 00:31:55.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: those I don't know modalities, those methods, and then pass them on to the people you started working with.
00:31:57.190 --> 00:32:18.550 Jennifer Regular: Yes, that's right, that's right. And clearing away any of those misalignments. And what wasn't my truth allowed what was really in my heart to give and bring forth. And it was interesting because, just a few weeks ago, actually for ahead of another podcast so looked up the etymology of the word leader
00:32:19.320 --> 00:32:39.499 Jennifer Regular: lidare from old English, meaning to guide and bring forth. So going back to like my childhood dream of being a guidance counselor, specialist, right. When I'm kind of framing it in that way, it's to guide and bring forth, you know, guide, and bring forth that I that we're here to pass on like lifting
00:32:39.970 --> 00:32:43.500 Jennifer Regular: up and rising into what's yet
00:32:43.550 --> 00:32:45.369 Jennifer Regular: to still be born.
00:32:45.370 --> 00:32:46.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Right inside.
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:50.730 Jennifer Regular: Of you right? And then being able to lead with that passion
00:32:50.750 --> 00:32:54.480 Jennifer Regular: so that we can light the path of profound impact
00:32:54.780 --> 00:32:57.080 Jennifer Regular: and be able to
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:08.789 Jennifer Regular: engage together in collective transformation. Because I find it's not so much about our individual missions anymore. It's more about our collective mission.
00:33:08.800 --> 00:33:29.110 Jennifer Regular: And that's where we get to bring it all together. So, as I brought myself all together and became whole again, then that opened me up to further personal evolution and growth, both personally and professionally, and not having this separation of work and life, it became my life work to be able to
00:33:29.650 --> 00:33:45.219 Jennifer Regular: to lead with passion, right, and and help facilitate that collective transformation with others, too. And this is a chapter actually in a book that's coming out in a couple of weeks in the ultimate guide to leaving a legacy. My chapter is all about leading with passion
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:53.840 Jennifer Regular: and lighting the patch of profound impact and collective transformation. This is what I'm dedicated to now what I'm committed to what I'm passing on
00:33:53.870 --> 00:33:59.520 Jennifer Regular: through all that. But it took a lot of continuous improvement and evolution and
00:33:59.780 --> 00:34:04.449 Jennifer Regular: and Rec. And being committed to that path, right of personal evolution.
00:34:04.450 --> 00:34:13.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Wonderful wonderful. Okay, let's take a quick break. And when we come back let's talk about sort of what is lighting the path.
00:34:13.940 --> 00:34:31.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, how do you actually work with people today and like, how did your work sort of evolve out of your experiences, out of your own healing experiences and your own life experiences of how you find, how have you found your path to really supporting leaders in in the best way possible? Okay.
00:34:31.750 --> 00:34:33.059 Jennifer Regular: Okay. Sounds. Great.
00:34:33.060 --> 00:34:45.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Wonderful. So everyone, please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity. We're speaking with Jennifer regular this hour, and we'll be right back in just a moment.
00:36:50.210 --> 00:36:51.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And welcome back.
00:36:52.546 --> 00:36:58.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So so, Jennifer, you really went through a big transition through your own healing.
00:36:59.700 --> 00:37:04.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just starting to work with people to inspire them to
00:37:05.570 --> 00:37:07.023 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: uplift them.
00:37:08.550 --> 00:37:11.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How long has it been since you've made that transition.
00:37:13.729 --> 00:37:17.159 Jennifer Regular: That was in 2,007.
00:37:17.770 --> 00:37:18.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So many.
00:37:18.610 --> 00:37:19.330 Jennifer Regular: So
00:37:19.500 --> 00:37:21.470 Jennifer Regular: close to 20 years. Like, yeah.
00:37:21.470 --> 00:37:22.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Wow!
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:25.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and so, how did you take
00:37:26.409 --> 00:37:35.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: sort of your own personal heal, healing experiences, and use that to inform you your work in in working with entrepreneurs and and people.
00:37:36.180 --> 00:37:37.750 Jennifer Regular: Okay, yeah. So
00:37:38.530 --> 00:37:50.978 Jennifer Regular: it's really the cycle of transformation, right? And transformation being transcending form. So going beyond what you've known yourself to to do and be how you've been recognized in the past.
00:37:53.460 --> 00:37:57.229 Jennifer Regular: moving beyond that. And I find that
00:37:57.570 --> 00:38:05.950 Jennifer Regular: as we cycle through transformation, there's 3 key things that happen. One is that you go through an awareness phase right? Becoming aware
00:38:06.020 --> 00:38:11.439 Jennifer Regular: of what's true for you, what's meaningful, what's aligned and not aligned in your life.
00:38:12.210 --> 00:38:18.550 Jennifer Regular: and then you go through this rite of passage right? Almost like an initiation initiatory
00:38:19.610 --> 00:38:32.109 Jennifer Regular: healing experience, almost like a spiritual emergency or a crisis that we go through to recognize your capacity to heal and be an integrity of our true values. And
00:38:32.510 --> 00:38:41.530 Jennifer Regular: what we feel is our core essence, or that balance comes from living our truth. And then there's this rebirth right? We reemerge out of that.
00:38:41.560 --> 00:38:53.269 Jennifer Regular: and our path is lit right, then we're moving beyond. And so this is the cycle of transformation. That's essentially what happened with me. And so I was teaching about that.
00:38:54.060 --> 00:38:57.710 Jennifer Regular: What I learned more recently in
00:38:58.150 --> 00:39:15.289 Jennifer Regular: reflecting on my struggles and so on is that there's there's 3 main steps to really becoming an aligned and empowered leader right to really be able to guide and bring that forward. And the 1st thing for me is attunement, a deep connection.
00:39:15.290 --> 00:39:16.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Action.
00:39:16.870 --> 00:39:28.660 Jennifer Regular: A deep connection and a deep connection within a deep connection with your higher power, a deep connection to your life work, the eye that you're here to pass on.
00:39:28.910 --> 00:39:29.920 Jennifer Regular: This
00:39:30.630 --> 00:39:43.170 Jennifer Regular: is also an alignment with your values right and your mission, your vision, and what keeps you resonant with that? What orients you to stay focused on that
00:39:43.610 --> 00:39:59.709 Jennifer Regular: so that you're not veering off the path like there's going to be many pivots along the way, because, of course, we know the path is not linear, right? There is that continuous evolution, but it doesn't take you so far off that you neglect
00:40:01.130 --> 00:40:21.759 Jennifer Regular: and become insecure about things that you fall back into patterns of that fear, obligation, and guilt that you're able to actually follow your calling and stay true to what's most meaningful and important for you. So the second thing is to follow your passion, right your true calling, the eye that you're here to pass on.
00:40:21.890 --> 00:40:43.629 Jennifer Regular: and to stay still with that step number one, right? We're just building on to that. That connection comes from. For example, every morning I read my guiding principles. My guiding principles are like a combination of an affirmation and intention, and I have several of those that are based on my theme for the year, and who I want to show up as
00:40:43.630 --> 00:40:52.420 Jennifer Regular: in my life and in my work, and that verifies my resonance, it sets my proper orientation. And then, as I go through the guiding principles. Then
00:40:52.740 --> 00:41:08.400 Jennifer Regular: it's like a stabilizing force. It connects me and helps me to stay true to what's in front of me, so that I don't get lost right in the mix. And that passion is that energy that souls calling, that I, that we're here to pass on, that we can
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:21.210 Jennifer Regular: really elevate with that. That is our potency. So it's not so much our skills and abilities that we've gathered over time. It's actually our potency. What are we
00:41:21.520 --> 00:41:25.679 Jennifer Regular: most here to influence and
00:41:26.310 --> 00:41:28.800 Jennifer Regular: provide the message out, because.
00:41:30.150 --> 00:41:39.179 Jennifer Regular: One thing that's really interesting that I noticed among visionaries. In particular, it's their energy and their passion that has the greatest impact.
00:41:40.160 --> 00:42:02.790 Jennifer Regular: Right? So yeah. So when you feel that passion, when you feel the energy right it, you're just vibrating at a whole level. You don't have to even do anything. People just feel that they resonate. With that they're attracted to that. So being able to follow your calling, you're staying true and being in balance with who you truly are, and magnetizing.
00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:03.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That you.
00:42:03.790 --> 00:42:05.589 Jennifer Regular: Towards you as well.
00:42:05.700 --> 00:42:09.949 Jennifer Regular: and then the 3rd step is to harmonize that energy and flow
00:42:10.290 --> 00:42:19.790 Jennifer Regular: right to really be in that, to find what sustains you and your momentum to make sure that you're supporting your full well-being.
00:42:20.260 --> 00:42:26.549 Jennifer Regular: The process so that you don't drain yourself out. You don't become stagnant that your
00:42:26.570 --> 00:42:37.749 Jennifer Regular: not moving in automatic or in habitual energy, that you're keeping your fire alive and harmonizing that flow. Because, Sam, what is flow without the F.
00:42:38.530 --> 00:42:39.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Right.
00:42:39.720 --> 00:43:04.321 Jennifer Regular: Low, right low. So okay, we can use that as a kind of a simple example of what strategy you might need to get back on track. If you're not in harmony with your energy and with your passion right? And it could be fun. It could be family friends, fulfillment, fortitude, flexibility. You know. What's the F that you need the freedom right.
00:43:04.700 --> 00:43:05.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Gotcha.
00:43:05.220 --> 00:43:29.289 Jennifer Regular: So looking at that F, that you know we'll bring that back in, and then you can be back in your flow. So you don't. You're not just low energy in that fog of fear, obligation, and guilt that you're actually sustaining your passion, sustaining your momentum and well being bringing those things into it. So that really helps, I think leaders achieve that aligned and empowered way of conscious leadership. You know.
00:43:29.290 --> 00:43:30.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I'm wondering.
00:43:30.430 --> 00:43:31.850 Jennifer Regular: To sustain that.
00:43:31.850 --> 00:43:46.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, I'm I'm wondering if maybe you can give us a an example of maybe somebody who who came to work with you and sort of where they were before they worked with you. And then, after you've taken them through your your process like, how were they after.
00:43:46.670 --> 00:43:47.969 Jennifer Regular: Yeah, sure.
00:43:48.590 --> 00:43:53.790 Jennifer Regular: So I can think of someone that came in just completely, not
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:55.610 Jennifer Regular: inspired, not.
00:43:56.080 --> 00:44:01.790 Jennifer Regular: Feeling any vision anymore. They've kind of given up on things they were feeling drained. I felt like
00:44:02.070 --> 00:44:03.330 Jennifer Regular: they were
00:44:04.080 --> 00:44:31.539 Jennifer Regular: not necessarily self sabotaging their own patterns, but anytime they would try to make progress. That they would something would interfere with that. There was a lot of interference, a lot of disturbance, not really a lot of support. They were doing all the things, you know, doing their meditation every day they were doing their affirmations. They were thinking that they were doing all the right things, but there was still this block from them, being able to
00:44:31.870 --> 00:44:37.580 Jennifer Regular: to really live out their passion, to be able to follow that calling. So
00:44:38.150 --> 00:44:42.620 Jennifer Regular: look coming in when they come in with me. Then I really connect
00:44:42.700 --> 00:44:47.360 Jennifer Regular: soul to soul like I was mentioning earlier. I'm very empathic. And so
00:44:47.430 --> 00:44:54.930 Jennifer Regular: when I'm invited to really connect with someone, then I very deeply connect with them at a soul level
00:44:54.980 --> 00:45:02.020 Jennifer Regular: and provide insight and perspective, and then you see that sparkle come back in their eye right.
00:45:02.020 --> 00:45:02.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because it's.
00:45:02.500 --> 00:45:16.720 Jennifer Regular: Resonate with them because it's within them. It's nothing that's coming from me, right? I am just reflecting that back to them and what they need, and that unconventional wisdom right not sharing a strategy or method per se, but just
00:45:16.790 --> 00:45:20.450 Jennifer Regular: having them look at what might be in their blind spot.
00:45:21.260 --> 00:45:24.405 Jennifer Regular: Having them look at the part part that they're overlooking.
00:45:24.720 --> 00:45:25.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Right.
00:45:25.210 --> 00:45:25.849 Jennifer Regular: May not be.
00:45:25.850 --> 00:45:26.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What's a.
00:45:26.210 --> 00:45:32.630 Jennifer Regular: See? So there's that insight that really opens up the path. That's what lights the path. Okay.
00:45:32.630 --> 00:45:33.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And.
00:45:33.310 --> 00:45:52.019 Jennifer Regular: And then and then we go through some of the healing practices. So I have integrated energy therapy that I might work with. I might work with some drumming. I might work with shamanic work. I might just work in the intuitive guidance, whatever might be comfortable and supportive in that time.
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:59.229 Jennifer Regular: So I draw on my 2 bucks that have, you know, accumulated over the years my little medicine bundle, so to speak.
00:45:59.780 --> 00:46:01.200 Jennifer Regular: and then
00:46:01.230 --> 00:46:22.219 Jennifer Regular: and then we talk. We go through that sort of rebirth that happens right, because now they've come through that rite of passage, they're aware that something wasn't quite right, that was misaligned. They've gone through the rite of passage, that healing crisis that brought them to me in the 1st place, or just not having the clarity, that obscurity that comes when you're
00:46:23.220 --> 00:46:52.790 Jennifer Regular: moving and acting more out of fear, obligation, and guilt rather than inspired action. And when there's that rebirth, there's this like new energy, new life potential. And you enter into this new life room where there's new possibilities for your life that you're willing to entertain, or new ideas that come through. Now you're inspired again. Now you're feeling alive again. Now you're feeling like, okay, yeah, let's try this. Now, I'm feeling that energy.
00:46:52.840 --> 00:47:07.950 Jennifer Regular: you know. So it's it's really about that energy and the passion. And again, for visionaries, that's what it takes to have the greatest impact. So I really help people to restore that. And I love seeing when that restoration happens. Right? Yeah.
00:47:07.950 --> 00:47:12.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Beautiful, beautiful. Okay, we got to take our last break of the show.
00:47:12.090 --> 00:47:12.590 Jennifer Regular: So.
00:47:12.590 --> 00:47:28.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Time really flies when you have great guests. When we come back. Let's talk a little bit about your your book, embrace your power. You know how it supports people in the process. And and maybe let's let's just touch upon what your podcast is all about okay.
00:47:28.340 --> 00:47:29.110 Jennifer Regular: Okay.
00:47:29.190 --> 00:47:41.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Alright. So everyone, please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity, and we'll be right back with our guest, Jennifer, regular to tie it all up in just a moment.
00:49:49.340 --> 00:49:55.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So, Jennifer, I'm curious. What was the inspiration for you, creating your embrace, your power book.
00:49:56.780 --> 00:50:00.549 Jennifer Regular: You know what, believe it or not, actually started. When I was 10 years old, Sam.
00:50:00.550 --> 00:50:03.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Really, that's a long time to write a book.
00:50:03.190 --> 00:50:10.703 Jennifer Regular: We're going tracking back to what the true source of it was. Yeah. When I was 10 years old I was looking around
00:50:11.160 --> 00:50:19.386 Jennifer Regular: in the hustling city of Toronto, just a wide eyed child, just trying to understand the world and people's behavior. It was
00:50:20.030 --> 00:50:30.700 Jennifer Regular: I was sort of writing down my observations, my notes, my thoughts, my inspired ideas, and at that time I was writing this book that was going to be called when society determines your destiny.
00:50:31.600 --> 00:50:32.300 Jennifer Regular: And then
00:50:32.940 --> 00:50:38.330 Jennifer Regular: 30 years of journeying that we touched upon a little bit
00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:46.599 Jennifer Regular: I decided. That's not the message that I wanted to give to the world as working with the marketing coach at the time
00:50:46.610 --> 00:50:53.710 Jennifer Regular: and on different aspects of my business. And she said, you gotta write this book that you were thinking of.
00:50:55.450 --> 00:51:01.499 Jennifer Regular: and what I thought the real message was through that not when society determines your destiny. That was the underlying.
00:51:01.620 --> 00:51:02.989 Jennifer Regular: you know problem.
00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:05.539 Jennifer Regular: It was about embracing your power.
00:51:06.670 --> 00:51:22.960 Jennifer Regular: Healing our relationship with ourselves, because, as we touched upon a little bit, you know, we go outside of ourselves, you know, to please others to perfect things, to live out obligations, expectations, roles, societal expectations, cultural expectations, whatever it might be.
00:51:23.430 --> 00:51:30.230 Jennifer Regular: that we neglect our needs, our desires, who we truly are what we're here to do
00:51:30.470 --> 00:51:33.380 Jennifer Regular: for our impact out in the world.
00:51:33.730 --> 00:51:35.120 Jennifer Regular: And so
00:51:35.510 --> 00:51:51.810 Jennifer Regular: that's what he started writing. And I actually got it published when I was asked by people that were attending my workshops at the time, that they wanted something like a workbook, something tangible, that they can take home and work through and continue with on their own.
00:51:51.900 --> 00:51:55.280 Jennifer Regular: Okay, it's time to bring this book out now. So
00:51:55.310 --> 00:52:01.999 Jennifer Regular: it's a journaling style book, and it's really a pilgrimage into our heart's true desires.
00:52:02.850 --> 00:52:16.869 Jennifer Regular: It's a great practice when, especially for people who may be going through that spiritual emergency or times of crisis, or the darker times, right where you kind of lose sight of what's meaningful and important, or given up hope in some way.
00:52:17.150 --> 00:52:27.579 Jennifer Regular: And you're kind of intimidated to talk to someone like a coach or a therapist or a counselor. You just kind of want. You want the help, but you kind of want to keep quiet and hidden about it for the 1st little while.
00:52:27.580 --> 00:52:28.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah.
00:52:28.170 --> 00:52:35.670 Jennifer Regular: You know. So you grab, you know, a self-help book or something, a journal of some sort, and I find it really useful to write things down.
00:52:36.100 --> 00:52:42.340 Jennifer Regular: And you know some people are good at just automatically writing things or having the prompts for this book.
00:52:42.520 --> 00:52:43.970 Jennifer Regular: There's some
00:52:44.180 --> 00:53:10.719 Jennifer Regular: parts of my story that's in there. Some of the things that I went through and learned along the way, and the insights I gained. And then there's reflective questions like you were sharing in a bit bit about your blog. We go into this action action. Do do all the time. We don't take so much time to actually sit down and reflect and reassess, and and see if we're still headed in the direction that we want to be going, or if we need to pivot into something different.
00:53:10.720 --> 00:53:23.509 Jennifer Regular: and this gives a chance for that, a chance for reflection to reassist, reassess, and reevaluate. And there's so there's journaling prompts in there. There's some questions. There's some themes to look at.
00:53:23.740 --> 00:53:27.900 Jennifer Regular: and there's some quotes, too, to feel inspired and just kind of
00:53:28.010 --> 00:53:35.139 Jennifer Regular: be resonant with, or some affirmations that may support as well. It's not a long book. It's it's quite thin, like a hundred.
