Diane Johnston: The exciting thing about this podcast is we did 0 prep work.
Madineyah Isaacs: I like saying yes, It clears up the energy and puts you in a higher vibration.
Diane Johnston: Dig in to the spark and the intuition.
Madineyah Isaacs: Be the change you want to see.
Diane Johnston: Hello and welcome back to Winged and Ready.
Diane Johnston: I’m Diane Johnston.
Diane Johnston: financial advisor, UBS.
Diane Johnston: I work in our Jericho office and I'm sitting in our New York City podcast studio with my friend and fellow luminary, Madanea Isaacs, who is an intuitive leadership and life coach.
Diane Johnston: The exciting thing about this podcast is we did zero prep work.
Diane Johnston: because I really wanted to dig in to the spark and the intuition of what we might talk about.
Diane Johnston: So Madanea, if you don't mind taking a few minutes to introduce yourself to our listeners, I'd be appreciative.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yes, thank you.
Madineyah Isaacs: I'm winged and I'm ready.
Madineyah Isaacs: We're winging it.
Diane Johnston: I love it.
Madineyah Isaacs: I'm Madanea Isaacs.
Madineyah Isaacs: As you said, I'm an intuitive life and leadership coach, and I have this fun ability that I'm able to read the energy field of people.
Madineyah Isaacs: and spaces and energetically see where blocks are stopping them from moving forward.
Diane Johnston: Amazing.
Diane Johnston: Can you do that now?
Madineyah Isaacs: To you, the LUB is building.
Diane Johnston: Well, I know we're freezing in the studio.
Diane Johnston: We both have our coats on our laps, like little ladies sitting in our rocking chairs on a porch.
Diane Johnston: Hopefully that's not freezing our energy levels though.
Madineyah Isaacs: No, Yeah.
Madineyah Isaacs: We warmed and thought internally.
Madineyah Isaacs: So the work is very practical, right?
Madineyah Isaacs: It can appear very esoteric, but the goal is to locate those blockages, clear them out, you know, with this ability that I have, and then see a practical shift, whether that's in your finances, your money, your career, your relationships.
Madineyah Isaacs: It pretty much works across the gamut.
Madineyah Isaacs: As long as you come with an open mind, open heart, we can go really, really far.
Madineyah Isaacs: There's so many things impacting us that we have no idea.
Diane Johnston: That's incredible.
Diane Johnston: Is it possible to do a mini energy clearing?
Diane Johnston: Should people do them throughout the day?
Madineyah Isaacs: Absolutely.
Madineyah Isaacs: I recommend people do a two-minute energy.
Madineyah Isaacs: energy clearing midday, and they can do it again, at the end of the day as they're getting ready for dinner, being with their family, or if they're solo, just, going into a nice spacious evening, absolutely 2 minutes just of...
Madineyah Isaacs: bringing all your energy of the day, all conversations, lingering, loose ends back into your body and kind of just like closing the doors, cutting the cords, if you would, just really be present for the rest of your afternoon or your evening.
Diane Johnston: Big yes to that.
Diane Johnston: I love that.
Diane Johnston: Yeah.
Diane Johnston: Is it meditation adjacent?
Madineyah Isaacs: It is meditations, super conscious, crazy, fabulous,
Madineyah Isaacs: big head, leopard printed aunt.
Diane Johnston: Oh, I love that.
Diane Johnston: I want to go put some hairspray in my hair.
Madineyah Isaacs: And you actually have like a leopard coat.
Madineyah Isaacs: I complimented you.
Madineyah Isaacs: So yeah, So maybe you're the aunt.
Madineyah Isaacs: Maybe that's why we're having this conversation.
Diane Johnston: Oh, I love this.
Diane Johnston: So can we give our listeners like a little mini taste of it?
Diane Johnston: Can we do something?
Madineyah Isaacs: Absolutely.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah.
Madineyah Isaacs: I say midday, end of the day, but technically anytime you just don't feel like yourself.
Madineyah Isaacs: You can't put your finger on it, but it's just like, there's something.
Madineyah Isaacs: Sure.
Madineyah Isaacs: Okay.
Madineyah Isaacs: So 2 minutes.
Diane Johnston: Sure.
Madineyah Isaacs: Okay, great.
Madineyah Isaacs: I'm going to close my eyes.
Madineyah Isaacs: That's just how I do it.
Madineyah Isaacs: But you could do this also at your desk, you know, make it part of your day-to-day as much as possible.
Madineyah Isaacs: You don't need to necessarily
Madineyah Isaacs: put time aside, make it part of your day.
Madineyah Isaacs: So right now my eyes are closed and what I do is, so right now it is 4.20.
Madineyah Isaacs: So thinking of my day and everything, think about all the conversations that you've had so far.
Madineyah Isaacs: And just kind of call all your energy back from conversations, meetings, transportation.
Madineyah Isaacs: And you can actually take your hands
Madineyah Isaacs: Or you could imagine taking your hands and pulling it into your body.
Madineyah Isaacs: Wherever you feel you've left your energy, a part of you, bring it back into your eyes, your ears, your heart, your thighs, just naturally where you feel it needs to go.
Madineyah Isaacs: There we go.
Madineyah Isaacs: And now the second part of it is just to kind of cut the cords.
Madineyah Isaacs: You can imagine a scissor, you know, cutting the cords to any loose ends.
Madineyah Isaacs: Or you could physically do it as well.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yes, I like saying yes, It clears up the energy and puts you in a higher vibration.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yes, So just cut the cords.
Madineyah Isaacs: Maybe there is an interaction, you know, at the grocery store or when you were getting your coffee, like, you know, it was just you felt wobbly or the barista, you know, just had a weird attitude.
Madineyah Isaacs: Just cut the cord or any, maybe you had a little fight with your partner.
Madineyah Isaacs: early in the morning or the night before and that's still like a round in your head.
Madineyah Isaacs: So just cut the cord.
Madineyah Isaacs: Cut, cut, cut.
Madineyah Isaacs: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.
Madineyah Isaacs: You can even literally just like touch your body, hands on your elbows, thighs, wherever.
Madineyah Isaacs: Just I'm here.
Madineyah Isaacs: I'm in my energy and that's everything else.
Madineyah Isaacs: And I'm choosing to focus on me and the next part of my day in clarity,
Madineyah Isaacs: in expansion and in possibility.
Madineyah Isaacs: So there we go.
Madineyah Isaacs: That's the two-minute energy clearing that I do every day.
Madineyah Isaacs: And it's so short and it just really brings you a jolt of clarity because all of you is with you now.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah.
Diane Johnston: You know what I particularly liked about that two-minute clearing was
Diane Johnston: the pulling something back inside of you with your hands where you needed it.
Diane Johnston: Today was a very cerebrally focused day for me.
Diane Johnston: Lots of technical thoughts and explaining things to clients and working with coworkers.
Diane Johnston: And I like to have more of a creative energy around me.
Diane Johnston: And today was a very much a, say almost an academic rigor type of day.
Diane Johnston: So I was literally like pulling it back into my brain.
Diane Johnston: That felt great.
Madineyah Isaacs: Great.
Madineyah Isaacs: So you can feel the difference.
Diane Johnston: Yes, absolutely.
Diane Johnston: Yeah.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's kind of like a jolt, like a, oh yeah, I am.
Madineyah Isaacs: Oh, I was there at this, at that.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's so visual.
Diane Johnston: When I first asked you if it was meditation adjacent, I was thinking, oh, your eyes are closed, you're breathing, you're relaxing, you're trying not to think.
Diane Johnston: But this, you're actually thinking and you're pulling it back in.
Diane Johnston: So it's very interactive.
Diane Johnston: At least it was for me.
Diane Johnston: I loved it.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, it's like an activation.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah.
Madineyah Isaacs: So it's very different to a meditation.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like in longer clearings, in a one-on-one session, my sessions are 75 minutes.
Madineyah Isaacs: I talk in the beginning with a client, maybe 15 minutes, and then the rest of the session, it's a close-eyed process and we
Madineyah Isaacs: go in.
Madineyah Isaacs: That was just two minutes.
Madineyah Isaacs: We dive in and I'm like an intuitive investigator.
Madineyah Isaacs: I'm like, what's happening?
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, why do you have this block with your finances?
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, oh, is it a five-year-old version of you crying in the corner because you witnessed mom and dad fighting?
Madineyah Isaacs: Okay, like, let's go back and, you know, clear and do some wonderful expansion work with your five-year-old to bring them back, you know, into this present moment and saying that,
Madineyah Isaacs: hey, it's okay, it's safe, to make money, to expand what's possible.
Madineyah Isaacs: And so it's really amazing when someone gives you permission, you know, to go in, like you can really, really fly.
Madineyah Isaacs: And I know you've had a taster in two group sessions you were part of.
Diane Johnston: I was just about to say that for the listeners, I went to one of Madnaia's sessions that she did for Luminary.
Diane Johnston: And I was so intrigued, and you just referenced money blockages.
Diane Johnston: So I immediately reached out
Diane Johnston: to her and I was like, we must talk.
Diane Johnston: And then we were fortunate enough to do a session with a group of professional females, the wing women, which was amazing as well.
Diane Johnston: But I love that you go right into those blockages.
Diane Johnston: I love telling people that I try to help them navigate around their money blockages.
Diane Johnston: Do you ever find that a blockage
Diane Johnston: might not necessarily be removed, but at least it can be utilized or someone can understand that it's there, navigate with it.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, so the first step is understanding, as you said, awareness.
Madineyah Isaacs: And with that alone, it is huge, and with that, it requires bravery.
Madineyah Isaacs: It requires courage.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, okay, this is here.
Madineyah Isaacs: Okay, I know this fear is here.
Madineyah Isaacs: I know my childhood stuff is here, but I'm still going forward, still going forward.
Madineyah Isaacs: And then with that awareness, it is important to kind of chop it down.
Madineyah Isaacs: And you totally can.
Madineyah Isaacs: You know, it may take a little while, but not years.
Madineyah Isaacs: You know, I'm thankful there's a lot of awareness around energy work now.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's not just about practical talk therapy that for years and years, which we're thankful for, the
Madineyah Isaacs: Awareness, but it's actually like to clear the root blocks, and you can clear it very quickly.
Madineyah Isaacs: So, yes, you totally can make progress for sure, but it's going to be harder.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, once you clear it, you get to the root cause that five-year-old is not there, or that traumatic event is not there.
Madineyah Isaacs: Maybe your first...
Madineyah Isaacs: boss, I don't know, like they didn't pay you for five months, and now there's this fear that with any new job, like there's this weird thing about getting paid, are you worthy?
Madineyah Isaacs: Once we like clear that traumatic event of your first work experience and that's not there anymore, that's way better than navigating the block.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, so I work in blowing it up.
Diane Johnston: It is interesting that from my experience,
Diane Johnston: no matter how much somebody has, there does tend to be an emotion rooted in scarcity or fear or inadequacy around money.
Diane Johnston: Do you have that a lot with the people who come to you or any other
Diane Johnston: emotions that you find that are common and trying to get people to have a better energy and relationship around money.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, absolutely.
Madineyah Isaacs: And it doesn't matter how much money you have, right?
Madineyah Isaacs: Like you can have $5 million in the bank account and feel that scarcity and lack and really focus on, okay, getting 6, getting 7.
Madineyah Isaacs: And when you get 6, 7, you're going to feel exactly the same way because no amount of money will ever make you feel safe.
Madineyah Isaacs: if you don't feel safe inside.
Madineyah Isaacs: No, even, and that's why you see it with like, really, really, really high net worth individuals, billionaires, like they still like chasing their tail and they still like causing a lot of unnecessary drama, a lot of self-sabotage.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like when we're looking at their life, we're like, whoa, what's happening?
Madineyah Isaacs: It's actually that.
Madineyah Isaacs: There's not a safety.
Madineyah Isaacs: Am I worthy of this?
Madineyah Isaacs: Am I deserving of this?
Madineyah Isaacs: So doesn't mean the more money you have,
Madineyah Isaacs: have that eradicates those feelings of lack and scarcity.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's amazing you were able to tap into that frequency of incredible wealth and draw it to you.
Madineyah Isaacs: But then there's also another component of holding that frequency, feeling safe, you know, with that amount of money.
Madineyah Isaacs: And that's why we see that with a lot of
Madineyah Isaacs: lottery winners, NFL players, NBA players who comes into large amounts of money very quickly and it dissipates in a short amount of time because they don't have the frequency of holding, holding, safe, allowing, receiving in their body.
Madineyah Isaacs: So, and a lot of people do daydream, they do fantasize, so they are able to like bring it in.
Madineyah Isaacs: But then the other component is what we just spoke about now, holding it.
Diane Johnston: That's so interesting.
Diane Johnston: For 2 things that I'm
Diane Johnston: thinking about.
Diane Johnston: One is going back to that root emotion and how we're wired as human beings and trying to get things out of our amygdala and into our frontal cortex.
Diane Johnston: I would think that those early emotions that get anchored into you as a very young person around money still sits back in that amygdala.
Diane Johnston: And so it causes a lot of those emotions that you were just talking about.
Diane Johnston: So
Diane Johnston: Man, if we could all do a two-minute energy clearing every day, we would move it in our brains too, wouldn't we?
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, absolutely.
Madineyah Isaacs: In your brain, your body, the body keeps cool, you know, so it's not only in your mind.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like if you have a recurring, you know, knee ache and you don't know what that is, like,
Madineyah Isaacs: It's probably like all the stress and all those like thoughts you're thinking that you're storing in that part of your body.
Madineyah Isaacs: So.
Diane Johnston: That's so funny you just said that.
Madineyah Isaacs: Is your knee hurting?
Madineyah Isaacs: It is.
Madineyah Isaacs: Oh no, what's happening?
Madineyah Isaacs: Let's do some like magic.
Diane Johnston: Oh yeah, honed right in on that knee.
Madineyah Isaacs: Interesting.
Diane Johnston: The other thing that I was thinking about is not only how we're wired in the amygdala and the frontal cortex, but I'm mildly obsessed with financial behavioral analysis
Diane Johnston: And when you brought up the athletes as a reference, it's a group that is lottery winners, you win or you achieve a lot of money very quickly.
Diane Johnston: But if you don't feel like you deserve it, you spend it like it's water and then it's gone.
Diane Johnston: And I think, to your point, I always think of people who don't feel like they deserve the success or they don't hold onto it, to use your terminology, we'll let it go.
Diane Johnston: And they don't understand that they're letting it go.
Diane Johnston: They'll blame the world or the circumstances around them.
Diane Johnston: But if they could somehow or another close their eyes and spend 75 minutes with you, I think they might be able to hold on to it.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, and you know what?
Madineyah Isaacs: It shows up in such bizarre ways.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's not just...
Madineyah Isaacs: the overspending, but suddenly, all these families coming out of the woodwork and asking you for money, or there's unexpected bills, you blow your tire of your car and you're like, but it's all of that.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like money is going to go to where it can be held, you know, the frequency of it.
Diane Johnston: This is just really freaking me out.
Diane Johnston: Oh my God.
Diane Johnston: I have to really say she's into this because what's happening?
Diane Johnston: As we were going into the studio and I was waiting for you to walk down the hall, meet me in the studio, I was texting my
Diane Johnston: son who just dropped the car off at the garage because it was having issues.
Madineyah Isaacs: Wow.
Diane Johnston: So blow the tire, the knee, you mean you're hitting them all on the head?
Madineyah Isaacs: Okay, we need to do some private zapping.
Madineyah Isaacs: But no, honestly, it is that.
Madineyah Isaacs: And when someone...
Madineyah Isaacs: I've seen this so much when they get a raise at work or promotion or bonus.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's like, oh wow, I didn't expect this.
Madineyah Isaacs: I can't believe this.
Madineyah Isaacs: is so amazing.
Madineyah Isaacs: And it seems like an innocent phrase, I can't believe it, but it's like you believe it.
Madineyah Isaacs: it out of your field, out of your reality.
Madineyah Isaacs: So guess what?
Madineyah Isaacs: Oh, you can't believe that you got this extra 10, $20,000.
Madineyah Isaacs: Okay, so here's the unexpected like builds.
Madineyah Isaacs: Here is suddenly, you know, a home repair that needs to be done urgently, you know.
Madineyah Isaacs: So it's...
Madineyah Isaacs: It's all related.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, it's just, it's pretty, pretty wild.
Madineyah Isaacs: And then I see people fight.
Madineyah Isaacs: I'm thankful not the people drawn to me.
Madineyah Isaacs: They are intuitives.
Madineyah Isaacs: They're the seekers.
Madineyah Isaacs: They're self-aware.
Madineyah Isaacs: They do a lot of personal development work.
Madineyah Isaacs: But I see like people that don't do work like that, they fight tooth and nail that no, it's not that.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's not that.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's like not related.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, you know, that bull had nothing to do with the rays.
Madineyah Isaacs: And, you know, it's just like they can't
Madineyah Isaacs: even see how it's related.
Madineyah Isaacs: And it's very hard for those people to make a change if they're not open, to these other dynamics at play.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's not, we don't live in a black and white world and our money is also not black and white.
Madineyah Isaacs: I mean, you know that in your role as a financial advisor, like it's, there's so much at play.
Diane Johnston: So much at play.
Diane Johnston: A statistic I probably have shared on the podcast before, but
Diane Johnston: One I love to share with people when we're talking about financial behavioral biases is, and this is a dated statistic, I think it's from 2011.
Diane Johnston: Footnote, I'm not too sure, but in the UK, over 95% and in the United States, over 90% of money does not physically exist.
Diane Johnston: Wow.
Diane Johnston: It's it is not a hard currency.
Diane Johnston: It's not there.
Diane Johnston: It's what we see on our screens.
Diane Johnston: It's what we see on our phones.
Diane Johnston: It's to your point, if you feel like it's something you don't believe can happen to you, you're just constantly going to be looking at limitations all around you because we're all on our screens every single day.
Diane Johnston: It's inevitable.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah.
Madineyah Isaacs: Wow.
Madineyah Isaacs: What else is possible?
Diane Johnston: What else is possible?
Madineyah Isaacs: That's one of my favorite questions.
Madineyah Isaacs: What else is possible?
Diane Johnston: What else is possible?
Diane Johnston: The new one for me two weeks ago that I put into my morning thoughts is I refute the lies of limitations.
Madineyah Isaacs: I like that.
Madineyah Isaacs: I refute the lies of limitations.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yes, And then open up to what else is possible.
Madineyah Isaacs: And your brain, as you know, it's always going to search for that answer to whatever question you feed it.
Madineyah Isaacs: So what else is possible?
Diane Johnston: What else is possible?
Diane Johnston: It's amazing.
Diane Johnston: All right, everybody, sit with that for a few minutes.
Diane Johnston: Let's talk a little bit about, you know, we've been talking about energy, kind of laws of attraction by default.
Diane Johnston: Can we talk about what types of people tend to come to you as clients?
Diane Johnston: Are you seeing a pattern or are you seeing a certain need that's repetitive or is it just a rainbow of things?
Madineyah Isaacs: It used to be a rainbow of things, So it's people who've done a lot of seeking, a lot of inner work, a lot of personal growth.
Madineyah Isaacs: What else is possible?
Madineyah Isaacs: Like I know this is not the end.
Madineyah Isaacs: Great.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like I've healed a lot of my like parents stuff and like I'm successful, but there's something else like, and I don't know what it is.
Madineyah Isaacs: So a lot of times they can't pinpoint what's actually the block.
Madineyah Isaacs: And then that's, you know, an intuitive diagnostic, okay, like what's happening?
Madineyah Isaacs: Oh, it's that, it's this, like let's
Madineyah Isaacs: clear and shake it up.
Madineyah Isaacs: So it's just this very interesting.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah.
Madineyah Isaacs: So people who have already achieved success, but they know that there's more and they can't necessarily pinpoint it, but they know there's a block.
Madineyah Isaacs: And yeah.
Diane Johnston: that's interesting.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah.
Diane Johnston: You know, years ago, I probably 15 years ago, I remember speaking of presidential, listening to somebody who ran a presidential campaign.
Diane Johnston: And she was saying that for that particular campaign, they were trying to weave in leading with feminine energy, because that's becoming increasingly more important to be team oriented and not to be the stereotypical of the leader of the past, where it was more like an army general making commands and wanting answers.
Diane Johnston: But do you think that
Diane Johnston: Perhaps this is a more mature version of that.
Diane Johnston: I don't mean mature in human behavior, but that it's been out in the world and it's been simmering and aging and its own maturation is coming to the fore.
Madineyah Isaacs: Definitely, doing all this work like in secrecy, a lot of shame around it, confusion around it, feeling our power like as women and knowing that this intuition is a real thing, but can we bring it into the workplace?
Madineyah Isaacs: could we even have had a conversation like this 10 years ago, on this type of platform?
Madineyah Isaacs: I don't think so without you maybe getting fired.
Madineyah Isaacs: I was like, Diane, no.
Madineyah Isaacs: So
Madineyah Isaacs: So I like the word that you used, maturation.
Madineyah Isaacs: Absolutely, yeah.
Madineyah Isaacs: I was for sure like 15 years ago, like meditating behind closed doors.
Madineyah Isaacs: No one knew, you know, I felt so like I'd be ostracized or like so weird, like what are you doing?
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, exactly.
Madineyah Isaacs: So now it's interesting that
Madineyah Isaacs: I think more to the masculine, it's like, what is this?
Madineyah Isaacs: But actually it's always been there, but women trusting themselves now, they're trusting their voices, they're feeling safe to share, they're feeling empowered.
Madineyah Isaacs: And not all women, of course, just to also put that out there, but there is such an incredible rising consciousness that
Madineyah Isaacs: that I think a lot of men are scared.
Diane Johnston: I think some of them are joining it.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Madineyah Isaacs: But it's definitely like a reckoning and a recognizing like, oh wow, like the landscape has changed and I somehow missed that.
Diane Johnston: Maybe too, like, I wonder if that's where
Diane Johnston: I'm assuming that your client base is all kinds of people, but maybe it's that pinpointing, like the awareness that I do need to pinpoint something that's lingering and I'm not quite sure how to put my finger on it.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, because I can see energetically that there has been and continues to be a shift in.
Madineyah Isaacs: in consciousness.
Madineyah Isaacs: And it is rapidly expanding because so many of us have awoken, if you would, are lit up.
Madineyah Isaacs: We've cleared a lot of stuff as a collective.
Madineyah Isaacs: And I'm so thankful, you know, for people doing this truly in the dark ages, in the 60s, in the 70s, in the 80s, you know, they were like already spreading this message and people were like, you are crazy.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, you know, there was only like a handful of people really
Madineyah Isaacs: following like their messages.
Madineyah Isaacs: And I'm so thankful because they kept like breaking it down, breaking it down that boom, there has been this awakening and the secret did a lot for that in 2007.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, that's really wow.
Madineyah Isaacs: And the culture that just opened up in the zeitgeist, oh, this thing, law of attraction, oh, your thoughts create your reality.
Madineyah Isaacs: And that's just the beginning.
Madineyah Isaacs: It wasn't the whole picture, but that was definitely the shift.
Madineyah Isaacs: And now it's so much richer.
Madineyah Isaacs: There's so many
Madineyah Isaacs: Women especially, like they recognizing their power, their potency, their dynamism, their magnetism, their radiance to create change.
Madineyah Isaacs: They're realizing, oh, I'm part of creation.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's not a, oh, I hope I get a raise.
Madineyah Isaacs: I hope, I hope, I hope.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's like, oh, like I actually can bend reality.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, and it's a pretty, pretty amazing time.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah.
Diane Johnston: That's powerful, bending reality.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah.
Diane Johnston: That's very powerful.
Diane Johnston: What would you recommend to people who are listening to this that might be having a difficult time digesting it?
Diane Johnston: Because I feel like you and I are locked in right now.
Diane Johnston: For people that this is a new concept, like let's take a couple of steps back.
Diane Johnston: Like what's, what are the ABCs here?
Madineyah Isaacs: I was feeling that also, so I'm happy you shared that.
Madineyah Isaacs: I'm like, the ABCs is we all,
Madineyah Isaacs: intrinsically know.
Madineyah Isaacs: We all intrinsically know.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, we know that it's not just us here on planet Earth, you know, like working, working, working, hamster on a wheel for retirement, saving for retirement, and then, you know, then we live our life.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, we know that there is something more, and we all know intrinsically that we are
Madineyah Isaacs: the light.
Madineyah Isaacs: And that's why in every single culture, in every single religion, there is a fascination with the light.
Madineyah Isaacs: There's an immense fascination.
Madineyah Isaacs: Holiday lights, you know, Diwali, like the, you know, just like lamps, like just everyone, there's something about fireworks.
Madineyah Isaacs: Everyone loves it, everyone.
Madineyah Isaacs: And we know we're right here on 6th Avenue, you know, the holiday lights, it's going to be soon.
Madineyah Isaacs: So
Madineyah Isaacs: First, intrinsically knowing that we are the light.
Madineyah Isaacs: Light lights us up.
Madineyah Isaacs: And it's to do the daily work where you connect to the light, you know, just to the source, to light.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like it's not a religious thing.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's just connecting to yourself.
Madineyah Isaacs: There's A fascination with light for a reason because you know deep down that you are the light and you know that you can create change.
Madineyah Isaacs: And the anger, the frustration, the irritation,
Madineyah Isaacs: It's all because you're actually not honing into that, recognizing that, or you forgot about it.
Madineyah Isaacs: Oftentimes, it's just a forgetting.
Madineyah Isaacs: What I'm doing is actually helping people to remember.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, you are the light.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's in every culture, every religion, they talk about the light.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, so, yeah.
Diane Johnston: It is interesting.
Diane Johnston: For me, it's as simple as
Diane Johnston: when someone's in a bad mood and you feel that bad mood just kind of permeate and how it can have a ripple effect, we can do the opposite.
Madineyah Isaacs: Exactly.
Madineyah Isaacs: And that's why, and even that, like, be the light.
Madineyah Isaacs: I don't even know where that comes from, but be the light.
Madineyah Isaacs: We've all heard that saying, you know, like, be the light, like, be the change you want to see.
Madineyah Isaacs: And
Madineyah Isaacs: Imagine that, us all walking around feeling more expanded, connected to the light.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, we light each other up.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, and it all seems so foofy and woohoo, but it is so powerful and it's about creating practical change.
Madineyah Isaacs: So it's not just, oh, so what does that mean?
Madineyah Isaacs: No, you are the light.
Madineyah Isaacs: You're feeling great.
Madineyah Isaacs: You're feeling expanded.
Madineyah Isaacs: You're sending emails now, you know, in that energy.
Madineyah Isaacs: And when people open up your emails, they receive that.
Madineyah Isaacs: they open it up, they're like, wow, it's so nice to hear from Diane.
Madineyah Isaacs: Oh, like, what's happening here?
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, let me reply.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, you know, you don't know what it is, you know, kind of the X factor, but it's, and people feel it.
Madineyah Isaacs: There's not necessarily words, but people feel it.
Madineyah Isaacs: They'll be like, oh, there's something about her.
Madineyah Isaacs: I don't know what it is.
Madineyah Isaacs: When she walks in the room, like, well, when I talk to her, I just feel better.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like, you know, and so a lot of people are also,
Madineyah Isaacs: being the light, connected to the light, and they don't realize it's just naturally who they are.
Madineyah Isaacs: And for others, it's a, they need some work to remember because it's there.
Madineyah Isaacs: We all are the light.
Madineyah Isaacs: If we were not connected to the light, we wouldn't be alive, right?
Madineyah Isaacs: Like our light would be out.
Madineyah Isaacs: So it's there.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's just a remembering, like to hone it, to peel back the layers and let that shine through.
Diane Johnston: Yeah, remember how nice it feels to have your...
Diane Johnston: Face pointed towards the sunshine.
Madineyah Isaacs: Exactly, exactly.
Madineyah Isaacs: Light, light, light, light, light, light.
Diane Johnston: Yeah.
Diane Johnston: I do try to get sunlight first thing every day within the first 30 minutes of being away, just five or 10 minutes.
Diane Johnston: No sunglasses, no screens until I can get that natural daylight hitting my eyes.
Diane Johnston: And that's, we had a neurologist, I believe,
Diane Johnston: was their background who told us that really also sets our melatonin cycle for that night.
Diane Johnston: So I started doing that so I would have a better night's sleep the following night.
Diane Johnston: And it just had so many other benefits attached to it.
Madineyah Isaacs: Love that.
Madineyah Isaacs: Like it sits the circadian rhythm.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah.
Diane Johnston: Love that.
Diane Johnston: So we are light.
Diane Johnston: That's what our rhythm is attached to.
Madineyah Isaacs: As you're describing it, feels so nice.
Madineyah Isaacs: It's like your body smiling, like I'm just seeing your body smiling, and your knee.
Madineyah Isaacs: Yeah, it feels so nice, yeah, light in the eyes.
Diane Johnston: So as we wrap up, if there was one point you wanted listeners to take away that you concretely think they need to know, do you have any wisdom to impart?
Madineyah Isaacs: That they are more powerful.
Madineyah Isaacs: than they think to create change in their life.
Madineyah Isaacs: If they believe that nothing, this is it, like this is my life, this is my partner, this is my money situation, this is my body size, like they are so powerful to create the change and it starts as simple as
Madineyah Isaacs: choosing a new thought, choosing a new action.
Madineyah Isaacs: People forget that choice is their superpower.
Madineyah Isaacs: We have unlimited free will choice.
Madineyah Isaacs: And when people are stuck, they believe that there's no other choice.
Madineyah Isaacs: And it's as simple as I choose to feel better, so I'm going to take a walk in the morning.
Madineyah Isaacs: You know, then that's a snowball effect.
Madineyah Isaacs: So if I can leave your listeners with one thing is to remember that they're always
Madineyah Isaacs: I have choice, and choice is your superpower.
Diane Johnston: I love that.
Diane Johnston: Choice is your superpower.
Diane Johnston: That is powerful.
Diane Johnston: Now, if someone is listening and they wish to reach out to you, I'm sure you would welcome that.
Diane Johnston: How would they get a hold of you?
