Brenda (00:01:15) - Let's explore the possibilities together and make your dreams a reality. Ready? Let's do this. Let's get you to your yes filled life. So you're here for your next chapter. And I would love to know, are you in a chapter where you're creating a change, or are you in a chapter where you're navigating a change, what's true for you? And yes, it is still Mercury retrograde. It's Mercury retrograde until the 25th. We don't enter the shadow of Mercury retrograde until the 26th of April. So yep yep yep indeed. So I can't wait. Creating and navigating. Yeah. So in this webinar I'm going to show you a seven step framework for navigating or creating change. And by the end of our time together, you'll be confident and excited knowing you can either navigate the change that you're experiencing, maybe a change that you did not choose as well as you can create a change that you are consciously choosing. You are here because you feel ready to remember who you really are, and you want to help other people do the same because you have a calling, even if you're not sure what that is.
Brenda (00:02:26) - Does that sound like you? Thumbs up if that sounds like you. Yeah, I'm seeing lots of thumbs up. You're here because you're willing to let go of feeling bad or self-conscious for wanting what you want, even if you're not sure how to do that. Give me a thumbs up if that's you. Awesome. Awesome. And you're here because you feel ready for your turn. You've spent the last chapter or maybe multiple chapters caring for others that your family, your career, your friends. And now you get to create this next chapter for you. Give me a thumbs up if that's you. So many thumbs up. Amazing. So if we haven't met. And I know that the people that are here with me now, I've met you all and love you all. but if we haven't met and you're watching the replay. My name is Brenda Winkle. I'm an advanced trauma informed breathwork facilitator and somatic coach. I'm a Reiki master teacher, advanced theta healing practitioner. Advanced Glendenning practitioner. I have a master's degree in Educational Leadership I.
Brenda (00:03:29) - My work has been featured in Metro, Telegraph, Top Santé Platinum, Brand New Magazine, Authority Magazine, Medium.com and I've been on more than 40 podcasts, so I. All that's to say. I'm doing work that people seem to like, and so I'm excited to share it with you. I've been in business since 2015, but I've been full time since 2022. So before we even dive in today, I want you to imagine yourself. It's one year from today. It's April 12th, 2025. How are you feeling? What are you doing? Where are you? Who are you with? Allow yourself just a future. Skip a minute. Does that feel good? Awesome. Yeah, I love it. So you've been taught and socialized to believe that having desires and needs of your own is selfish, maybe even distasteful. I'm going to show you in this webinar why it's not selfish, but it's actually the most generous thing you can do to prioritize yourself in your next chapter. So here's where we're going.
Brenda (00:04:46) - We're going to start with your energy. First we're going to start with breathwork. Then we're going to talk about how to find peace in the chaos. Why taking care of you is actually generous. We'll talk about how to reclaim your power. I'll share the seven step framework to navigate or create change. I'll share how to work with me, and then we'll have questions sound okay? All right. So when we talk about breathwork, we're talking about your energy first. The things that are happening around you may not be your fault. They probably aren't your fault, but how you respond is your responsibility, and one of the ways that you can take responsibility for your energy is through breathwork. Have you ever heard the phrase don't touch the baby before you wash your hands? Okay. So that's what this is. When we tend to our energy first we're making sure that our energy is squeaky clean. And then everything else unfolds around us in a really beautiful way because people feel the energetic birthplace. So it doesn't matter whether you're sending a text or an email, or you're writing an article, or you're doing a blog post, or you're writing a podcast, or you're writing an article, or you're just going to go call your friend.
Brenda (00:06:08) - People feel the energetic birthplace of where you are. So when you tend to your energy first, that birthplace feels a lot better to everyone around you. So before we dig into our breathwork experience, I would love to know. Go ahead and put it in the chat. On a scale of 1 to 10, how are you feeling today? One being like, I feel like a bag of balls. Ten feeling like I feel amazing. Where are you on a scale of 1 to 10? I see a nine, a six. A three. Yeah, there's so much love for all of these numbers and for all of the variations. I see a seven, a four. Yeah. So just know that no matter where you are, you're in the right place for you and there's no judgment. And it would be shocking to me if you didn't start feeling better as soon as breathwork was complete. So I'm going to invite you to get comfortable. And that might mean that you just, you know, put a blanket beside you or on top of you so that you can just rest and be happy.
Brenda (00:07:21) - So breathwork gets you out of your structured mind. Meaning? You can't think your way out of feeling badly. We have to get into the body and release it in the body, and that's how we can start to feel better. Mindset work makes up about 20% or less of any transformation. I mean, yeah, it's 20%. So if we forget it, we're only getting a B minus if we forget the mindset work. But the bulk of the work comes from releasing the stored emotions and trauma in the body. Which is why when we release with tears through breathwork or, you know, we're experiencing those emotions, we're actually doing really deep, really important work. Breathwork supports you to do the inner work and provides lasting healing and transformation because it's a body based healing modality. And I just posted today on my stories. A podcast episode on the School of greatness with Louis, how he was interviewing, a somatic trauma therapist. And it's a great interview that explains why we can't, why we can't do the healing we want with mindset work or talk therapy alone.
Brenda (00:08:35) - So Caroline McGrath is a master Jungian therapist and a breathwork facilitator. And she said my breathwork session with Brenda was such an incredible experience, a mix of releasing and receiving and allowing myself to unhook from my mind and tap into my body. Brenda brings her gifts of energy work to her sessions and I had such a beautiful experience. I highly recommend breathing with Brenda. She's a gift so I'd love to know in the chat. How do you feel now on a scale of 1 to 10? Go ahead and put that number in the chat. How are you feeling since you breathed? Did the number move? Did it not move? There's no right or wrong answer. Okay, I'm seeing a ten moving from a nine to a ten. I'm seeing moving from a seven to a nine. Someone's came in as a ten and still a ten. That's amazing. Same but tired now. Okay. And now we move from a three to a six. Okay. Yeah. So if you're tired now what that means is, is that your, your body has just finally come into rest and digest.
Brenda (00:09:41) - And when we come into that rest and digest, if we've been in a constant stress state, the first thing we feel is tired because the stress state kept us moving. We had all that cortisol and adrenaline moving in the body, and so it's actually a good sign that healing is happening, even though the tiredness may not be comfortable. Does that make sense? Okay. All right. So let's move on to pillar number two finding peace in the chaos. You actually have two nervous systems. You have your sympathetic nervous system which is your stress response. This is where your body decides if you need to go into fight flight, freeze or fawn. And. You also have the parasympathetic nervous system, which is where your body decides to go into rest and digest. And I can't see my notes right now because I'm screen sharing my whole screen. So I might repeat a couple of things in some slides. But here's the thing you really want to know. Your vagus nerve is the longest nerve in your body, but it's not just like linear.
Brenda (00:10:47) - It doesn't go from point A to point B, it's like a tree, and it goes from the base of your skull down to the base of your spine, and it impacts every single major organ system all the way down. When you're in the sympathetic nervous system and you're in a stress response, that vagus nerve is off line. Meaning you're going to have difficulty with maintaining your heart rate or your blood pressure. Breathing might feel difficult, like you might actually be breathing shallowly, and it might not be something you can help because of the stress response, meaning the vagus nerve isn't helping your lungs. It can also, cause digestive upset or stomach issues because the. the vagus nerve isn't helping our digestive system, so we want to bring our vagus nerve online. And one of the ways to do that is with breathwork. That's one of the ways we bring our breath our biggest nerve, back online. You can also start to bring it online with a couple other things. Have you heard of the square breath or the box breath where you breathe in for four, hold for four, out for four, and hold for four.
Brenda (00:11:56) - If you breathe that for a series of maybe 3 to 5 minutes, you can start to bring that vagus nerve online. And then for a supercharge boost, you can put yourself into a heart hug, which is two thumbs up. Two thumbs down. Open your hands. Cross your hands. Hold your hands and then bring them up. When you combine mindful breathing and this heart hug. And you stay there for 2 to 5 minutes, you'll bring your vagus nerve back online. And so that can be a really nice thing. So then the key is to maintaining that feeling. And you might have to do it multiple times in a day. It's not like you can bring your vagus nerve on line one time and then it's there to stay. That's not how it works. It's like brushing your teeth. You're going to have to do it more than once. And if you eat something with a lot of onions, you're going to have to do it even more than twice a day. You might have to do it right after you eat the onions.
Brenda (00:12:54) - The same is true in your life. If you have a really, really stressful event, you might need to do the vagus nerve activities more than once, meaning you need to do breathwork or play with your fur baby, or go outside and take a walk or dance it out. All of those things are ways that we know we can bring the vagus nerve back online. So my mentor, Samantha Skelly, the founder of breathwork, says how you're breathing is how you're living. So how are you breathing? Are you breathing? Shallowly. Where are you taking full, deep, expansive breaths. Because how you're breathing on a day to day basis is how you're living. So when we talk about breathwork, breathwork is under is in the umbrella of meditation. It's a form of meditation, but for many people it's easier to access because it gives you something to think about. Known benefits of breathwork include reduce stress. Lower blood pressure. Manage pain, feeling more connected, being more resilient, having less anxiety, and the list goes on.
Brenda (00:14:04) - I have a Google alert set for breathwork on my like, Google whatever. And I'm telling you, every single day there's 2 to 5 new articles being published about the benefits of breathwork. So can you imagine how you might be able to add more breathwork to your life right now? Could you do a square breath in the bathroom? Could you attend more breathwork sessions? Could you set timers so that you're just taking a few minutes to mindfully breathe? Can you download a breathwork app? I have a free month trial. If you want one, just message me privately and I can give you a free month trial, so I'd love to know how could you add more breathwork in your life so that you can bring that vagus nerve on more and more and more regularly? Tell us in the chat what you think you might do. And we can kind of crowdsource this. Because when you start to to be really intentional about having a regular breathwork practice in your life, you're going to be amazed at the benefits because you're retraining your nervous system to process emotions.
Brenda (00:15:12) - Okay, do it sometimes when you're driving. Yeah, that that's an option. Be careful about, the, the three part breath, the track to breath. Don't breathe with that because that takes you into an altered consciousness state. And we don't want you to altered consciousness when you're driving. All right. So just do the two part breath. Great. Yeah. Accessing Tuesday live breathwork on Instagram. Excellent. Yes, that's an option. I offer free breathwork every Tuesday unless I'm out of town or something. that's a great way to do it. you can access recordings, you can go to YouTube. There's there's all kinds of things. So pillar number three is taking care of your needs and desires is generous. Here's why. You can only offer as much love to others. As you're willing to give yourself. So if you're holding back on yourself. Unintentionally. You're holding back on everyone else in your life. Because you can't show up more loving to someone else in your life than you're showing up for you.
Brenda (00:16:26) - Which means that the more loving you are to yourself, the more loving you are to everyone. So you can muscle through and give stuff you don't have in a lot of arenas in life except for love. You can't give more love than you're showing to yourself. So it's really important to turn the lens of friendship onto you. Are you being a good friend to you? When you're under-resourced, you're tired, you're hungry, you're dehydrated, you're exhausted, depleted, stressed. You're not showing up as your best self. Right. You know this. I'm not telling you anything you don't know. But if energy is everything and it is. What's the impact when you feel under-resourced and you muscle through things? Do you think other people can feel that? Yeah, I think so too. The same way that, you know, when someone doesn't want to do something. People feel that from you. So sometimes we kid ourselves and we think I'm the only one that's sensitive. I'm the only one that's going to pick up on this.
Brenda (00:17:46) - But the truth is, even people who wouldn't identify as sensitive can feel when you don't want to do something. I had a principal once, and she was the least sensitive person that I'd ever met. Like the least tuned in to anything other than what she was doing. And she could tell when I didn't want to do something. And it was a real eye opener for me because I thought, I mean, I'm a little embarrassed to tell you this, but I thought I was the sensitive one. I thought I could pick up on what other people wanted to do or not wanted to do. And when this woman, who was the least sensitive person I'd ever met, could tell that I didn't want to do the things she was asking me to do and called me on it. It was a real wake up call. Because. If we're showing up in our lives doing things we don't want to do. It's impacting not only us, but everyone in our circle. And so if we have team members, they're seeing us doing that and they'll model it.
Brenda (00:18:44) - If we have children, they see us do that and they'll model it. So how do you want people to feel around you? And how do you want to feel? Tell us in the comments. How do you want people to feel around you? And how do you want to feel? I want people to feel loved and seen. I want people to feel that I'm present with them. That I'm noticing them and paying attention. And so I'm seeing in the chat there's a 30 day heart coherence collaborative challenge that started this week. And then to answer this question, I'm seeing open and calm. Want people to feel open and calm. Yeah, I can see that. And I'm seeing lots of typing. Relaxed. You want people to feel relaxed and you want to feel relaxed. Engaged on both sides. Yeah. Seen and heard. A sense of belonging. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I love that. I love that. If you're not finished, there's still time. but we're going to move on to pillar number four.
Brenda (00:20:07) - Okay. True. Yeah. I love that. And so I'm, I'm sort of feeling into that, that you're speaking truth, that there's an honesty and integrity. Is that what you meant? Yeah. Okay. So pillar number four is reclaiming your power. Now, here's the thing. Reclaiming your power is actually not about power. That might be shocking, but it's true. Reclaiming your power is actually taking responsibility for your energy and how you're responding to things. So we don't claim power by power grabbing. Because that's power over. We see that dynamic modeled all the time. We see it in politics, we see it in medicine. We see it in traditional education where someone has power over and someone has power under. But that's not actually the power dynamic I'm talking about. I'm talking about the shared power where I can have power with you. We can share the power. And in order for that to happen. You have to be able to trust that I've got me. And I have to be able to trust that you've got you.
Brenda (00:21:24) - That's shared power. I've got me. You've got you. And that means we all have to take responsibility for our energy and our responses, the way that we're showing up. Kendra said. I love this picture of you, Kendra. She said you've helped me identify. Name and heal things that were constantly holding me back, but that was that I was somewhat or totally unconscious of. You're helping me heal those things that have made it unsafe to fully live out my purpose. You've also helped redefine what safety and safety and trauma can look like and feel like. I only ever thought of safety as a physical safety, and I have thankfully not been in many situations where I feel physically unsafe, and I never really felt I had the right to have trauma since the big T traumas never happened to me. How many of you relate to that? Yeah for sure. Absolutely. And Jill said you have a way of getting right to the root of flow or lack of flow. And it always feels so much better.
Brenda (00:22:24) - The most surprising thing is how much more in tune I am with my body and my mind. Also how much more connected I am to the others in the group. I feel like we all have so much in common and it's really strong. I started to gain confidence and empowerment of what I know to be true about me. I was in a hamster wheel of a career and I needed a change. Retiring and starting my sound healing business is just the start of something big. I can feel it, I can feel it do. And I got to meet her husband, Dan last week. That was so much fun. I love it and I'm seeing in the chat. I want people to feel that I'm present with them and I'm a safe place to be themselves. I want to feel accepted for who I really am and not the smaller version that I've been being, so as not to make others uncomfortable. Oh yeah, that's that's awesome. So I want to know something. I want to know what lights you up.
Brenda (00:23:15) - When do you feel like, oh my gosh, this is so exciting. This feels so, so good. What lights you up? And I also want to know what depletes you. What is it that just like as soon as you think about it, you need a nap. Like you just you're like, oh, I don't want to do that thing. What lights you up? What depletes you? Tell us in the comments. okay. Light up time in the mountains and meaningful conversations. Light up. travel, being outside, singing, being with my family. Oh, I love those, I love those. For me, it would be at the ocean music videos of Dax, a grandson sitting by the pond. Music. Yeah. Podcast conversations. Light me up. Working. Sitting for hours makes me tired. Oh, I love that, Amy. Amy has a great podcast. It is. about like being sustainable, sustainable living. I can't remember the title of it. Amy, can you drop it in the the chat? I was a guest on the podcast about a year ago and it was such an amazing.
Brenda (00:24:44) - She's a great podcast host. You should give it a listen. Grounded in Maine. Thank you. Yeah. Grounded in Maine. So give, give that podcast a listen. She talks a lot about sustainability with tips and things that you can do to keep things eco friendly. oh thank you, thank you. All right. So when we talk about we had one example of things that deplete meaning like sitting and working for hours makes me tired. so for me, like, dancing really lights me up. That is super energizing. If I go dancing, then I can come back and get lots of different things. Gossip? Absolutely. Gossip is exhausting. I feel that way too. Let's see. Lights me up. Collaborating with others on their health, being in my garden, being with those I love. What takes energy away. Think on how I ask people what's owed to me, especially money. Yeah, that that can be that can definitely be depleting. so as we think about this, there's a reason.
Brenda (00:25:49) - Okay. What feels energy rich. Here's why I'm pointing to this. And we had one more drop in another depleting small talk. Big, loud, noisy environments. Oh for sure, for sure. So when we think about energy richness, reclaiming your power is done step by step, day by day, by following energy richness. Do more of what lights you up and do less of what is not lighting you up. That's energy richness. If you can do that one thing, you're going to be amazed at how everything else in your life just starts, like like a domino row to fall into place. But we don't give ourselves space or grace to follow joy or energy, richness. And that's a mistake. We want to follow the energy richness. Another thing dropped in the chat being around energy vampires, for sure. That's a hard pass for me. Yeah. All right so let's dig into the seven step framework for navigating change. There are seven steps to navigate or create change. They are habits embodiment priorities connection and boundaries.
Brenda (00:27:02) - Communication intuition and personal empowerment. Those are the seven steps. And you'll notice these also align with the chakras. Because they do align with the chakras. So the habits that got you here are not the habits that will take you there, whether you have chosen the change or not, the habits that got you here are not going to take you there. Why? Because they're not energetically congruent. In order for you to become the next version of yourself, we're going to have to address the habits. Maybe those habits are thinking negatively or being around people who deplete you, or maybe it is just that you are prioritizing your health, but you're not doing the things you know you need to do. The habits that got you here are not the habits that are going to take you there. So you can kind of think about where in my life, in my showing up as an old version of myself, with my habits. And where in my life can I show up as a new version? Sometimes we have to behave our way into success with the habits that we are willing to live.
Brenda (00:28:13) - MJ Larocque is a breathwork facilitator and somatic coach and she said, I feel I'm free to be me and my true self can shine through. I can use my voice and speak my truth, full of joy for what lies ahead. Brenda's feelings are so accurate and she sends us messages throughout the journey if it is good for us, while leaving a space for our own revelations which allowed me to feel better. What I had need to feel to see and to hear. She really knows how to set the right dance, the right rhythm for us so that we can receive what needs to be seen to be received and what needs to receive our love, so that we can move forward more fairly and true with ourselves. So the second pillar of the framework for change is embodiment. Audio is embodiment is putting the change into the body. Are you moving and living as the person you want to become? Are you healing in the body? Do you have a regular somatic practice? Are you doing breathwork? Are you getting somatic coaching? Are you feeling into the body or are you pretending your body is not there? Are you, like, not even feeling the body.
Brenda (00:29:21) - And unless it's, like, really screaming at you. That's pretty common for most of us. We ignore the body until it's like, hey, over here, here's a big health crisis for you. Most of that happens for so many of us, but when we get into the body and we lead and live from the body by embodying the change we want, then things start to line up for us. If we don't embody the change we want to make, we can't make the change. And this reason, this embodiment, this is the reason why we self-sabotage. Literally. This is related to embodiment. When we can embody the version of ourselves that we want to be. We stop self-sabotaging, but we have to feel it in the body. If I want to be the CEO of a $100 million company. I have to embody that first before it can ever become reality. That means my old sweatpants that I wear when I walk the dog first thing in the morning probably don't belong in $100 million CEO's closet.
Brenda (00:30:26) - So those sweatpants have got to go. Now, it's not about the money. It's not about like, how much the sweatpants cost. It's. How do I feel when I'm in them? Do I feel like $100 million to you when I wear those sweatpants? If the answer is anything other than yes, then they have to go. And that's the same way with everything you put on your body, everything you put in your body, the ways that you spend your time, the ways you spend your money, your energy, and who you're spending time with. Is it in the body? Which leads us to our next our next pillar, which is priorities. One of the main reasons that people get really discouraged about trying to implement a change is that their priorities don't match up with their values. So your priorities, how you spend your time, your energy, your money are really, really important to get clear on. Because when you can align those priorities with how you're spending your time, your money, your energy.
Brenda (00:31:28) - Everything lines up. It's essential to navigate change this way. We can't do it if we don't look at our priorities. Do your priorities match your values? We want them to. And sometimes it takes tweaking and adjusting. And then we have to go back to step one, which is the habits and say, oh guess what. The way that I'm spending my time doesn't actually reflect what is important to me. So I'm going to have to look at some habits. And then we go back up through the embodiment process. When you get this piece, it's like rocket fuel for your goal. It's really, really important. Connection and boundaries is the next pillar. So humans need other humans. I mean, we learn and are fueled by relationships, right? But if we don't feel safe in those relationships, then we tend to sabotage them or not have them, or were avoidant in them or were detached detached from our relationships. So the way to get deeper into the relationship is through healthy connection. And healthy connection starts with healthy boundaries.
Brenda (00:32:39) - Boundaries are not a way to keep people out there, a way to keep people in safely and for you to maintain your own sovereign identity. In relationship with others and Azure navigating change, you're becoming a new version of yourself. You're becoming a new person. And so communicating those changes become really important because the boundaries that were in your last chapter are probably not the boundaries that are going to work in your new chapter. Does that make sense? Okay. Awesome. And that brings us to communication. How you speak to yourself and others really matters. When you can view yourself from through a loving lens, it becomes so much easier to view other people through a loving lens. If you're not viewing yourself from a loving lens. What happens accidentally for most of us is that we view other people as the enemy. So we project outward and we think, oh, I'm feeling these negative thoughts about myself, and then we don't even it's not a conscious thing. It's not like a I bet they're negative about me.
Brenda (00:33:46) - We just like, oh, that guy, he said this and this and this, and then we take it personally, but it's actually just a projection because we're not thinking loving thoughts to ourselves. So every time I get triggered by somebody or someone. I know it's an opportunity for me to go do some deep inner work. When I feel upset at someone, it is never about the someone, it is always about something inside me. And when I'm clear on that and I go and do the deep inner work, and then I come back to communicate. All of a sudden I'm feeling seen and heard and the person I'm communicating with is feeling seen and heard. And relationships get so much better. And as we create these new chapters for ourself, this communication piece is really, really important because we want to be seen and heard. And now let's talk about intuition. Everyone has it. But there are more than 26 paths to it. And so the way that you get an intuitive hit is not necessarily going to be the way that I get an intuitive hit.
Brenda (00:34:56) - So when we know that there's so many different paths to intuition, we can know that however it's coming in for me is okay. You know what? Oh, I can't talk to you know what one of the biggest blocks to your intuition is? It's your phone. You know why. If you're on it all the time. You're either scrolling social media on email, sending a text, listening to a podcast, listening to music. You're not creating any space for the intuitive hits to drop in. One of the biggest keys to accessing your intuition is creating space for the intuitive hits to come in. Your intuition is talking to you all the time, but if you don't have a space for it. It's not landing. So creating white space is a beautiful way to start to notice how intuition is coming in for you. And then once you can learn to trust what's coming in, everything else just gets simpler and you'll really know what to do next. Which brings us to the last piece of this framework. When you line up your habits, embodiment, priorities, connections, boundaries, communication, intuition, personal empowerment is just a byproduct of all that work, and it starts to happen almost by itself.
Brenda (00:36:17) - It becomes a simple choice, but in this empowerment, we can begin to look at our power dynamics to create power with others so that we're not in power over or power under. But we can't really address that power dynamic until we're in our own personal empowerment. All right. So and I saw someone say I get intuitive hits in the shower. Yeah. That's because it's a time that you're quiet. You're not consuming other content. That's what makes it so important to create this white space. Because most of us, our shower is our quiet time in the day. What have you had another five minutes somewhere? Be amazing. So the obvious question is, do you want to continue to try to do this work on your own, or do you want to follow a proven roadmap so you can go further, faster? So you're invited to a brand new offering called Second Chapter. This one's about you. In this program, you're going to develop your intuition and learn to read energy so you can stop overthinking and make confident decisions about what's right for you without needing to make decisions by committee.
Brenda (00:37:26) - You'll gain the confidence to create and navigate the next chapter of your life by letting go of people pleasing. How good does that sound? Through somatic coaching and breathwork, it's going to finally feel safe to not be a people pleaser. You'll learn to protect your energy with energetic hygiene. You can keep your energy squeaky clean so you can expand into the life you know you deserve by not taking on so much from other people. You'll identify and clear the blocks that have been holding you back, elevating you to your next level. With consistent breathwork and somatic coaching, you'll become a better communicator. You'll set healthy boundaries, learn ways to say the things that you've been too scared to say. You'll learn to listen and you'll learn to be heard. You'll find your most authentic empowerment. You can start the business, write the book, start the degree. Go for the new career. Go on the date, make the move and you'll learn to let go of the shame of wanting to be on your own list. And probably most important for the people that are part of second chapter, you'll become part of a community of intuitive, sensitive and successful women just like you.
Brenda (00:38:29) - Now, I'm not special. I just did the work. I healed cinematically. I've spent more than $80,000 in the past three years on personal development and healing, because I knew that I could not take anyone where I was not willing to go. I invested in myself. I invested in healers and coaches, and I did the work. And so I feel very confident in saying, I can take you to the next level. So inside second chapter, you're going to get six months with us with three calls per month and three breathwork sessions per month. Plus you'll get free access to any moon cycle breathwork. Usually it's once per quarter, but sometimes it's more. Sometimes it's once a month. You also get access to one bonus workshop per quarter, and they're coming up there on all different kinds of topics. I have one on emotional eating that's coming up in a couple of months. I have one on stress free parenting coming up, and then you also get a voxer group so that you can stay connected to the community, which is really important.
Brenda (00:39:33) - So you get six months inside second chapter, and the enrollment is limited to 40, which means that it's not so many people that you'll feel invisible. You'll always feel like you're seen. You'll get three second chapter exclusive breathwork sessions per month, three content calls with hot seats per month, six months access to replays while you're a member, a voxer voice chat for quick answers and community support. Exclusive access to a member's portal with recorded modules, PDF guides, additional breathwork sessions and meditations that are fast that you can put into your daily life. Access to additional one on one support and an exclusive price available only to second chapter members. A free bonus workshop per quarter, free breathwork session or moon ceremony per quarter, and a Re enrollment discount of 30% when you're enroll. So that's a total value of just about $10,000. But that's that's not the price. The price is 5800. So with second chapter we're going to be diving into all these pillars habits, embodiment, priorities, connection and boundaries, communication, intuition and personal empowerment.
Brenda (00:40:41) - Stephanie said second chapter is more than I expected. I really appreciated the action steps presented to help get in touch with myself a little bit better, and I'm starting my journey with boundaries. I had no idea how powerful breathwork could be. I want a lovely and meaningful surprise, so I know that not everybody wants to pay a full price offer, and that's why I have payment plans. So there's a three pay of $2,100, a six pay of $1,100, or a single payment of $5,800. And I'll drop that link in the show notes. In the show notes. You're not in a podcast. I'll drop the link here. That's what I meant to say. so if you enroll by May 5th or April 15th, you're also going to get four private, one on one bonus sessions with me for free when you enroll. By Monday, and I'm going to stop the share for just a second because I wanted to make. Oh no, never mind. I apologize for not being able to see my notes is confusing me just a tiny bit.
Brenda (00:41:46) - Well, more than a tiny bit, but we're doing it. So when you get to the checkout page, this is what it looks like. If you decide to do the full pay version, you get an additional bonus one on one with me. And when you purchase, this is what it'll look like. You'll get a welcome page that says you're in. Welcome to second chapter, and then your email is going to look like this. It's going to say thank you for purchasing second Chapter or whatever it says. You'll also get a personal one for me, but that takes like sometimes up to ten minutes in the system. And then you'll be taken to your login and you'll have a special login that you now can use to access the community. And when you log in to your members area, this is what you'll see. So if you only have one thing from me, then you would just see second chapter. But if you on other things then you'll see those other offers there as well. And then when you click there you can click this blue button that says Start Course.
Brenda (00:42:42) - And then you can get access to all the things each module will start dropping beginning in May. April 30th to be specific. Module one will drop. And so we'll have one module drop about every two weeks until all seven modules are dropped. And then we'll be going through them in our calls. So you can access this with three payments of $2,100, six payments of 150, or a single payment of $5,800 for savings and an additional bonus. So you're here because you're ready to remember who you are and help others do the same because you know you have a calling. Even if you're not sure exactly what that looks like, you're here because you feel willing to let go of feeling bad and self-conscious for wanting what you want, even if you're not sure how to let that go. And you're here because you feel ready for your turn, you have spent the last chapter, or maybe all the chapters caring for others, family, career, friends and you know that. Now it's time for you to create your next chapter.
Brenda (00:43:47) - So you might be thinking, I don't know if I have the time for this. And you know what? Only you know. I mean, you know what your time is. But let me ask you this if you don't prioritize putting yourself on your list now, when will you? There's not ever going to be a good time for you to prioritize yourself. Because the system is set up for you not to prioritize yourself. The system is working against you. And so even if you're thinking, I'm not sure this is the right time, if you've ever gone to school, had a baby, bought a house, adopted a pet. If you've done any of those things, you know that there's no such thing as right time. The right time is when you are so ready, even if nothing else makes sense. That's the right time. And maybe you're thinking, I'm not sure I have the money to invest and maybe you don't. I don't know your situation, but I just am wondering how much it's costing you to not be on your own list.
Brenda (00:44:52) - How much is it costing you for you to delay your dreams? How much is it costing you to feel the way you're feeling now? So second chapter, This One's About You, is really designed to help you feel into your most empowered self. That's the goal. So tiara said, I have experienced successes and transformations. I show up more positive and with more energy for the things that matter most to me. And Stephanie said, I feel like now I'm seeing myself better as a stakeholder in all the decisions our family makes or that I make about how I use my time, how our family spends our time, what I say yes or no to, and I wasn't acknowledging my presence or the effect of my presence in that in those decisions. So I'm going to stop the share here, and I'd love to hear if you have any questions or if you're in second chapter if you're currently enrolled. Invitation to come off a mute and just share what you think. Share how it's gone for you.
(00:46:05) - Jill. So I have to say that my life has changed.
(00:46:13) - a ton. Last year, I decided to retire as a music teacher of 25 years. And it's true. I felt like I was on a hamster wheel. I was not moving forward and I felt this calling that I need to. And so I started things up with Brenda. We've known each other for a really long time, but and it was so great to really make that connection with her again. And I have to say that I, I don't feel. The heaviness that I felt a year ago. I'm looking back like a year ago today. I was not in a good place and now I feel much lighter, happier. I am choosing me and that's important because I wasn't I. Everybody else came first. I was on the back burner. I took care of everything and I never asked for myself. And so now it's it's incredible. And I'm, I hate to say addicted, but I'm kind of addicted to taking care of me. So, Yeah. So it's been fantastic.
Brenda (00:47:27) - Thank you, Jill, and I'm glad you're addicted to taking care of you.
Brenda (00:47:31) - That's a beautiful thing. Yeah. And that's what that's what happens once you see the other side and you start to see what it's like to take care of yourself, you become completely unwilling to go back. It's just. It feels the best thing ever. And we teach you how to do this. How to maintain your relationships and and take care of yourself. Is it always smooth sailing when you're dealing with relationships as you start to put yourself on the front burner? Honestly, no it's not, but we have a lot of structure in place to be supportive as you navigate those conversations with your loved ones, as you retrain them for, for the things that that perhaps, you accidentally train them to do over the years of living in a particular way. Are there any questions? All right. So. Yes. Second chapter. Is the new version of what used to be called yes Academy, but it's a completely new curriculum. It's all new, all different. And so I'm so excited about it because we're following that, the chakra chart of the habits, the embodiment, the priorities, the connection and communication, the boundaries.
Brenda (00:49:04) - We're talking about all those things, and we're just cycling through it over and over and over again. If you think it's for you and you're ready to make a decision, you can get the access to the for free one on one sessions as a bonus through Monday. And if you're a re enrolling second chapter person, like you know that you're going to re enroll. If you let me know that that's going to happen now and you put a deposit down, you can access those for free one on ones as well. You just message me, box me whatever and and we'll get you started. If you know you're coming back when you're enrollment ends. And so that that bonus disappears on Monday the 15th. But enrollment is ongoing. Up until we hit that 40 person cap. And when we hit the 40% cap, then it's a waiting list. And I do know we're going to hit the cap this spring. We're going to hit it. so if you think it might be for you. We'd love to see you in there.
Brenda (00:50:01) - And if you think it might be for you, but you want to have more conversation about it, let me know. Let's talk in an email or a DM, and we'll jump on a zoom call together, and we can talk about any questions that you might have. I am so grateful to you for showing up for yourself. I'm so grateful because every single time you show up for yourself like you did today. Everybody in your ecosystem can feel it. They feel it from you because you're more nourished, you're more resourced, and the more you position yourself to show up for you, the more everybody around you is also looking at you thinking, hey, maybe I could show up for myself today. Maybe I could show up in a way that really lights my soul up. And so whether you decide to to continue inside second chapter or not, thank you for showing up and I hope that you have something in place. If it's not with me, I hope it's something that is really meaningful to you that can keep you moving forward, putting yourself as a priority.
Brenda (00:51:09) - Okay. If there's no more questions, I'll give you back your time. But I'm here if you have questions. Okay. Bye for now. Love you all.
