Howard, hello. It's Howard brown. It's the

Howard Brown: 00:00:06

shining brightly show. Oh, my God, thank you. Thank you. Thank

Howard Brown: 00:00:09

Howard Brown: 00:00:15

Howard Brown: 00:00:21

every week, don't I? Alicia Cramer, welcome. How are you?

Alicia Cramer: 00:00:25

I'm great. Thank you, Howard.

Howard Brown: 00:00:28

I'm so glad you're here because I'm going to learn

Howard Brown: 00:00:30

from you, because there's things we're going to talk about that

Howard Brown: 00:00:32

we just I don't, you know, I need to get more educated. I'm

Howard Brown: 00:00:35

learning about energy healing, and I'm learning this, and I'm

Howard Brown: 00:00:38

going to learn about hypnotherapy today, here for

Howard Brown: 00:00:40

healing and for business and all that, and I'm just so excited

Howard Brown: 00:00:43

about that, but first I have to just tell me, how do you shine

Howard Brown: 00:00:46

brightly every day?

Alicia Cramer: 00:00:48

Well, I don't usually talk about this because

Alicia Cramer: 00:00:51

it's very much an internal process, but as someone who is a

Alicia Cramer: 00:00:55

student of energy work, I make a conscious intention to raise my

Alicia Cramer: 00:01:03

vibration and just radiate love. So whether that is with my

Alicia Cramer: 00:01:08

family, it is when I'm on sessions with my clients, it is

Alicia Cramer: 00:01:12

when I'm talking to colleagues, amazing individuals like you, I

Alicia Cramer: 00:01:17

have a practice of going within, being mindful, even in the midst

Alicia Cramer: 00:01:24

of conversation, and making sure that I am in my heart more than

Alicia Cramer: 00:01:30

in my head.

Howard Brown: 00:01:32

Oh, my God, radiate love. Oh, I love it. I

Howard Brown: 00:01:35

love it. It's just, it's a beautiful and it's personal and

Howard Brown: 00:01:38

and it's a discipline. I absolutely love it. Let me tell

Howard Brown: 00:01:41

you a little bit more about Alicia. She is impressive.

Howard Brown: 00:02:19

people and and she does it through coaching and through

Howard Brown: 00:02:22

hypnotherapy, and we're going to learn a little more about her

Howard Brown: 00:02:24

right now, because I'd love for you to share part of your

Howard Brown: 00:02:27

background. Who are you?

Alicia Cramer: 00:02:30

So we talked a little bit about this. Well,

Alicia Cramer: 00:02:34

we'll try to keep the keep it to the short version. I actually

Alicia Cramer: 00:02:38

grew up on a dairy farm in central Wisconsin. And so there

Alicia Cramer: 00:02:44

were the positives and the not so positives. As dairy farmers,

Alicia Cramer: 00:02:50

my parents were stressed a lot. Worked really hard, and they

Alicia Cramer: 00:02:55

self medicated in unhealthy ways. So I developed some self

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:01

esteem challenges along the way. And it was, it was a challenging

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:06

childhood that being said that became part of my journey and

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:12

part of my story. Fast Forward in 2005 I was assaulted, and

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:19

when I came to I had post traumatic stress disorder. It

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:23

was one of those catalyzing experiences where you have a

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:26

couple of different options, and one of the options was not so

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:30

good, and so I chose the better option, and that was to go on a

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:35

very, very deep healing journey myself, mentally, emotionally

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:40

and spiritually, and that allowed me to heal a lot of that

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:45

deep hurt from the past. And in so doing, not only did I

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:50

transform, but I was able to then take this work into the

Alicia Cramer: 00:03:55

world and help my clients through their challenges as

Howard Brown: 00:03:59

I you know, I hear that that, you know, basically

Howard Brown: 00:03:59

well.

Howard Brown: 00:03:59

people's pain is their purpose now, and I love it. And in my

Howard Brown: 00:04:01

book and in my coaching as well, we talk about that walk in

Howard Brown: 00:04:08

darkness. And you just, you shouldn't do it alone. You did

Howard Brown: 00:04:14

it looks like but there's hopefully people that there were

Howard Brown: 00:04:17

there to support you, and you can't stay there too long. You

Howard Brown: 00:04:20

got to take the lessons and learn from them and and

Howard Brown: 00:04:23

basically take the light of others and be able to then, you

Howard Brown: 00:04:27

know, kind of move forward and, and you do that, and then this

Howard Brown: 00:04:30

is, this is the impressive part of what you're doing. So a

Howard Brown: 00:04:34

couple things I'd like to actually get into, actually, is

Howard Brown: 00:04:38

hypnotherapy. Give me the basics, so that the audience can

Howard Brown: 00:04:42

understand kind of what it is. It's not voodoo. This is real

Howard Brown: 00:04:45

and okay, and it helps people get unstuck. So I'd love to

Howard Brown: 00:04:49

start there.

Alicia Cramer: 00:04:50

yeah, so many misconceptions about hypnosis.

Alicia Cramer: 00:04:54

And yeah, there are those who focus on using hypnosis for a.

Alicia Cramer: 00:04:59

Entertainment, what a lot of people don't realize because

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:03

sometimes they think it's fabricated, and other times, you

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:06

know, they they diminish the potential because of that. Well,

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:13

what a lot of people don't realize is only a small

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:16

percentage of people are suggestible to that type of

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:20

silly, outlandish behavior, but in a clinical sense, hypnosis is

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:26

used to create deep, lasting transformation at the

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:29

subconscious level of the mind, and we know from all the

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:33

research that's been done on it that it has so many health

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:37

implications, in addition to changing our beliefs and

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:42

overcoming negative behaviors. One of the things that I'll just

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:47

share real briefly, when I was on my healing journey and I went

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:52

to a lot of different holistic practitioners, all different

Alicia Cramer: 00:05:57

types of energy workers, which is why I'm so passionate about

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:00

different modalities. One of the services that really helped me

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:06

was hypnosis. I went to a hypnotherapist, and I briefly

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:11

mentioned, had kind of a rocky childhood. I had insomnia since

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:15

I was a very, very young girl. After that session, not only was

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:22

I more calm and empowered on, you know, kind of coming onto

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:28

the out on the other side of the post traumatic stress disorder

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:32

from the assault, but for the first time ever, Howard, I was

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:35

able to sleep through the night peacefully, and I've been able

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:38

to ever since, and that was obviously quite a few years ago.

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:41

Now, the reason that I share this is because there's so much

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:47

that hypnosis can help with. It's not magic. It's scientific.

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:53

It doesn't I don't have super mind control powers or anything.

Alicia Cramer: 00:06:58

It's a very natural phenomenon, but it also needs, it needs to

Alicia Cramer: 00:07:07

be taken more seriously, because it really can help in so many

Alicia Cramer: 00:07:11

different areas of our life.

Howard Brown: 00:07:14

Yeah, I think, I think you mentioned it, but the

Howard Brown: 00:07:17

entertainment value of making someone cook like a chicken or

Howard Brown: 00:07:20

something like that really is a big disservice to it. And I tell

Howard Brown: 00:07:25

you, listen, people get knocked down. Life is not easy

Howard Brown: 00:07:28

sometimes, and many of the times people are struggling and in

Howard Brown: 00:07:31

life and in business and in health and in finance and

Howard Brown: 00:07:35

especially in relationships and any way that we can actually

Howard Brown: 00:07:40

lift them up, which I call bringing their light, you know,

Howard Brown: 00:07:42

relighting, rekindling their light. I think that hypnosis

Howard Brown: 00:07:46

could help, and I know for a fact that it helps a bunch of

Howard Brown: 00:07:48

people in the cancer world, okay, it helps caregivers

Howard Brown: 00:07:51

dealing with the stress, and it helps the cancer folks like me,

Howard Brown: 00:07:54

okay, that are in treatment, that your whole world gets

Howard Brown: 00:07:57

turned upside down. And so I'm new to this, and I'm open to it,

Howard Brown: 00:08:01

and I will tell you that I had misconceptions about it until

Howard Brown: 00:08:04

after meeting you. So now I'm kind of, you know, setting the

Howard Brown: 00:08:08

record straight. Tell me about a little bit about, like,

Howard Brown: 00:08:10

visualization and goal achievement for these

Howard Brown: 00:08:13

entrepreneurs that you help and and even setting boundaries, and

Howard Brown: 00:08:16

a little bit about self sabotage. And because this, the

Howard Brown: 00:08:19

whole package comes at you, and people have to be, you know,

Howard Brown: 00:08:22

it's really complex of what people are going through at

Howard Brown: 00:08:24

different times. It's

Alicia Cramer: 00:08:25

true, we're very complex. We're programmed from

Alicia Cramer: 00:08:29

childhood with other people's beliefs and other people's

Alicia Cramer: 00:08:33

fears, and then we have our own experiences, and that creates

Alicia Cramer: 00:08:37

all sorts of inner conflict. And what a lot of people don't

Alicia Cramer: 00:08:44

realize is we have the ability to reprogram our mind. Lot of

Alicia Cramer: 00:08:50

people don't realize how powerful the imagination

Alicia Cramer: 00:08:53

actually is. Now if you look at it in a very objective way, you

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:00

can see not nothing was invented without it being an idea in the

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:05

mind. First, everything is an idea in the mind. First. Now

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:11

most people are defaulting to fear, worry, and what are you

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:18

doing? Then, with the power of your mind, you're projecting

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:22

negative imagery negative visualization, so you're

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:27

reinforcing these negative patterns by consistently

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:33

defaulting to those types of thoughts and feelings. Now, when

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:40

we become more intentional, we can use the power of our mind to

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:45

visualize a healthier body. Look at the studies that they've done

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:50

on people who visualize playing the piano or playing basketball

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:55

and just shooting shooting hoops, right? I know you love

Alicia Cramer: 00:09:58

basketball and. And so we know that the mind is incredible,

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:03

because they've done these studies, all well documented,

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:08

where control groups are either physically doing the you know,

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:14

they're practicing whatever it is, the piano or or shooting the

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:18

hoops or whatever. Then they have some people who are

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:20

visualizing it, then you have some people who do both, and

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:23

then you have some people who don't do anything. And what is

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:26

so fascinating is when you're visualizing something, you're

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:30

literally creating that neurological wiring. And so then

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:35

when you go out and you actually do the thing, whatever it is,

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:40

making beautiful music, or, you know, shooting shooting hoops,

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:44

and actually, like you know, you you know, so you're visualizing

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:47

and you're hearing it, you're feeling it, and when you

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:51

actually then go to do it, you've embodied not only a new

Alicia Cramer: 00:10:57

level of belief in yourself, but your muscles and your

Alicia Cramer: 00:11:01

subconscious, reflexes and everything start to now align

Alicia Cramer: 00:11:07

with that behavior. That's the power of our mind, and we have

Alicia Cramer: 00:11:13

to, then, of course, be mindful of what are you programming each

Alicia Cramer: 00:11:18

and every day? Right? How much are you defaulting to that

Alicia Cramer: 00:11:22

worrying versus being intentional about your thoughts?

Alicia Cramer: 00:11:27

Thanks

Howard Brown: 00:11:27

for mentioning basketball, because I tell

Howard Brown: 00:11:29

everyone, find your happy place. Schedule it in, go there,

Howard Brown: 00:11:32

hiking, biking, artwork, cooking, travel, minds the

Howard Brown: 00:11:35

basketball court. And quite frankly, I've been playing

Howard Brown: 00:11:39

basketball since I'm six, I have developed muscle memory on how I

Howard Brown: 00:11:43

shoot because I can't feel the ball. I have, you know, chemo

Howard Brown: 00:11:46

induced peripheral neuropathy. I can't even feel it in my hands,

Howard Brown: 00:11:49

but I've done it so many times, in the head and in the emotion

Howard Brown: 00:11:53

of it, I know what to do. And actually, if I miss, I know why

Howard Brown: 00:11:56

I missed. Went right, went left, didn't go high enough. So I know

Howard Brown: 00:12:00

that's a very small, simplistic example, but I totally get it.

Howard Brown: 00:12:04

And I also want to mention that, you know, a lot of people are

Howard Brown: 00:12:08

dealing with past childhood traumas, and actually, what I

Howard Brown: 00:12:13

found is that that makes some of the best executives that I've

Howard Brown: 00:12:16

ever met, because they know how to actually get a mental

Howard Brown: 00:12:20

toughness and ability to pivot and ability to make decisions

Howard Brown: 00:12:23

and take risks to move forward. And so I love the fact that you

Howard Brown: 00:12:28

help unlock that. It's impressive to do that. And so I

Howard Brown: 00:12:33

read something in some of your work, in your books, about the

Howard Brown: 00:12:36

subconscious holding you back, and that's the blocker that you

Howard Brown: 00:12:40

remove, right?

Alicia Cramer: 00:12:42

It is so we all have had varying degrees of

Alicia Cramer: 00:12:47

trauma, even as a child, where a parent may say, What are you so

Alicia Cramer: 00:12:55

upset about? You're overreacting in the moment of that intense

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:00

emotion that that child is experienced that can register

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:05

just like a trauma. And so here we are adults, and we have all

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:11

these great intentions, the executive who wants to be a

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:16

great leader, the husband who wants to be a loving, attentive

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:22

partner, the parent who wants to be able to shut off the work day

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:28

and play with their children, and you just can't, and you

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:32

don't understand why, and that is because we have these deep

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:36

rooted programs at the subconscious level of the mind.

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:40

So when we can access that part of ourself and we can heal that

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:46

part of ourself, now the behavior changes where once we

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:51

couldn't relax, which is super common for executives and high

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:55

achievers and entrepreneurs, because many of us have been

Alicia Cramer: 00:13:58

wired to be driven for survival. What a lot of people don't

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:04

recognize is you don't have to give up the positive qualities.

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:09

We just want to take the edge off the negative side of it so

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:13

that it's not destructive, and then we channel that energy in a

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:17

much more productive way. So you still are in love with your

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:21

business, but you have the ability to take a day off, take

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:28

a weekend off, enjoy time with your family when you have that

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:32

vacation to Disney, because now you're not being subconsciously

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:37

triggered with feelings of, I need to be doing this, And I

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:41

need to escape that, and I'm not working and oh my goodness, I

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:44

don't feel comfortable in my own skin. We're able to resolve that

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:50

at the subconscious level. You set yourself free, and we all

Alicia Cramer: 00:14:55

have a lot of conditioning. So it'd be lovely if I could say.

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:00

We find that one thing you fix that you live happily ever

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:02

after. It really is. It's inner work. It's, you know, it's a

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:09

journey of inner growth.

Howard Brown: 00:15:12

I appreciate that set yourself free. That's again,

Howard Brown: 00:15:18

that's so important to get unstuck. Tell me about your

Howard Brown: 00:15:21

academy and your programs, because I'm sure people and the

Howard Brown: 00:15:25

audience and listeners and viewers are going to be very

Howard Brown: 00:15:27

curious. Tell me about that

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:30

the academy is something that I developed a

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:33

couple of years ago. It's a pretty substantial on demand

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:37

resource with guided hypnosis audios and releasing processes,

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:43

because we do need to take the negative, emotional charge off

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:46

of old, painful memories and negative habits In order to

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:50

effectively reprogram and release that trigger. There's a

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:54

lot of mindset training, and then I've got other experts,

Alicia Cramer: 00:15:57

amazing, talented business professionals who contribute

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:03

sales training and marketing training and how to do profit,

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:07

first in every other different area of business. And then, of

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:11

course, I'm there as well to work with individuals in a group

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:17

setting to identify what are those challenges that you're

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:21

bumping up against? And even though it is predominantly

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:25

geared towards business owners, it's not just about business.

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:29

It's about everything. It's about healing your

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:31

relationships. It's about your own spiritual growth. It is

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:35

healing your body. There's meditations that help to get

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:40

into a more healing state. So it's really a holistic process

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:48

for overcoming challenges, achieving goals. You know, we've

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:53

all got them, lot of stuff around money, mindset and the

Alicia Cramer: 00:16:57

more common challenges that business owners have, but really

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:02

a level of support that I don't think I've ever seen in any

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:07

other program that I've personally been a part of,

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:09

because there really is a sincere intention to help our

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:14

clients. Yeah,

Howard Brown: 00:17:17

I checked it out. I think one 800 call Alicia

Howard Brown: 00:17:21

today would be a good thing. We're going to give your

Howard Brown: 00:17:23

information out, but share with me a little bit highlight a

Howard Brown: 00:17:27

couple of your books.

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:29

Well, I have my very, very first book was called

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:33

hypnosis for success. It's been, I've done a reboot now it is

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:38

hypnosis for success, the definitive guide to unlocking

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:41

your mind for business mastery, and it's really just a short

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:45

read that provides practical techniques, little little,

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:53

little exercises you can do that's essentially a form of

Alicia Cramer: 00:17:56

Self Hypnosis. So aligning with your goals overcoming stress,

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:02

it's a don't read it once, type of book, and then I have

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:11

energetic alignment, which is my newer book, and that's where I

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:17

get a little bit more into the metaphysical side of things,

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:22

because we're talking about how you do need to identify those

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:25

limiting beliefs so that you can shift the energy and you can

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:29

align with your goals. And it's very much about not just

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:32

achieving success, but doing it in a way that is really aligned

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:38

with your true core values, not not one of the books where it's

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:42

like, make a million dollars and, you know, it's all about

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:46

glorifying the material. It's about all of you, and what real

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:51

success is feeling good about yourself and about your life and

Alicia Cramer: 00:18:56

creating a life that you don't regret.

Howard Brown: 00:19:01

Powerful. All right, so our show is such a

Howard Brown: 00:19:03

tease because there's so much more we got to get into. And

Howard Brown: 00:19:06

people are going to reach out to you to get take a deeper dive

Howard Brown: 00:19:08

and get to know you, and get to know your programs and your

Howard Brown: 00:19:11

coaching. Put on your sunglasses. We're going to do

Howard Brown: 00:19:13

something called the shining brightly spotlight right now.

Howard Brown: 00:19:16

All right, and we're going to share and shine. I'm going to

Howard Brown: 00:19:19

give you three things that to do, and then we're going to hand

Howard Brown: 00:19:23

back the show and we'll close it out with me. So the first thing

Howard Brown: 00:19:27

I want is to tell people how they can get in touch with you.

Howard Brown: 00:19:32

Well, that one first. Okay,

Alicia Cramer: 00:19:34

that's super easy. I'll send you one place.

Alicia Cramer: 00:19:37

You'll find everything. Alicia kramer.com, spell it, a, l, i,

Alicia Cramer: 00:19:43

c, I, A, C, R, A, M, E, r.com,

Howard Brown: 00:19:48

those are for the people that are just listening.

Howard Brown: 00:19:50

Second question is one, take home tip, immediate tip that

Howard Brown: 00:19:55

someone could probably implement right now. So you know, real,

Howard Brown: 00:19:58

real subject matter. Expert like you, who's really authentic and

Howard Brown: 00:20:02

lifts up people with someone someone can take away from the

Howard Brown: 00:20:05

show and go, go, try and help themselves.

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:08

It sounds cliche, but being more mindful about

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:11

what you're feeling, but a lot of people don't realize is we're

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:17

identifying we're we're bumping up against those triggers all

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:21

the time, those limiting beliefs all the time. We have a tendency

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:26

to we default to this. Okay, no fault, no fault, no guilt. But

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:31

we default to this the moment we feel that uncomfortable feeling.

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:35

We want to push it away. We want to talk ourself out of it. We

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:39

want to avoid it, we distract ourselves from it, or then you

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:44

have the over indulgence in it. None of those releases it in a

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:51

proper, healthy way, which means we're storing it. We're we're

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:56

keeping that pattern active within us at the subconscious

Alicia Cramer: 00:20:59

level of the mind, if you can acknowledge not feeling so great

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:04

right now, and you can say to yourself, I'm going to own this.

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:10

It is what it is I feel, the way that I feel, and I'm going to

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:13

allow myself to actually experience and process out this

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:16

emotion. What happens is we're able to take some of that

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:22

negative emotional charge off of the old pattern, off of the old

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:28

negative behavior, and each and every time we do that, instead

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:32

of repressing and pushing down and compartmentalizing and

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:35

building up all of that negativity, little by little,

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:38

we're setting ourselves free. That is a very simple exercise.

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:43

It seems overly simplistic, and it is so powerful that if you

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:48

could incorporate that into your life, it would make an

Alicia Cramer: 00:21:52

incredible difference.

Howard Brown: 00:21:53

What a great tip. Thank you. And the last one is

Howard Brown: 00:21:56

to share a little inspiration, a quote, a very short, impactful

Howard Brown: 00:21:59

story or something that we can share and shine brightly to the

Howard Brown: 00:22:03

world together.

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:05

One of the things that I just feel inspired to to

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:09

share, maybe because of what you're going through right now.

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:12

Howard, but I know that a lot of my friends and colleagues,

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:16

they're going through some some rough stuff. There are seasons

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:20

in life, and sometimes we get blindsided, and sometimes it

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:23

feels like we get kicked straight in the teeth, and it's

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:30

okay to process those emotions, and it's also okay to be

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:37

vulnerable and to lean in for love and support, we're still

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:44

strong. It doesn't mean we're not strong. It does not to the

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:48

contrary, I would be willing to say we're stronger one we're

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:53

willing to be vulnerable, knowing that this is just

Alicia Cramer: 00:22:59

temporary. This too shall pass, and in this moment, me being

Alicia Cramer: 00:23:05

vulnerable and allowing someone to give me love and support is

Alicia Cramer: 00:23:09

not just a gift for me, it's a gift for them.

Howard Brown: 00:23:13

That's wow, I have to tell you, it's I always say

Howard Brown: 00:23:16

that. It's not actually, you know what you get in life, it's

Howard Brown: 00:23:19

what you give in your time of need, and in my time of need,

Howard Brown: 00:23:23

1000s of raving fans are reaching out with prayers and

Howard Brown: 00:23:26

help and support and love. So I hear you, and it's so powerful.

Howard Brown: 00:23:30

Thank you for sharing that. Wow. This is incredible. What a great

Howard Brown: 00:23:35

show. You can reach me at shiny, brightly, calm, and obviously

Howard Brown: 00:23:39

Howard Brown: 00:23:42

Howard Brown: 00:23:47

Howard Brown: 00:23:55

Howard Brown: 00:24:04

interfaith world, which needs a lot of healing right now as

Howard Brown: 00:24:07

well. So I want to give thanks out to a few people that make me

Howard Brown: 00:24:10

look good. Front edge publishing, my book publisher.

Howard Brown: 00:24:12

Howard Brown: 00:24:24

multiple places. And then also speak inspire prosper, a great

Howard Brown: 00:24:29

speaking program from my friend Sharon love, who just became a

Howard Brown: 00:24:33

sponsor as well. So just remember, if you choose to shine

Howard Brown: 00:24:37

brightly just a little bit each day, for yourself, I'm going to

Howard Brown: 00:24:40

say that for yourself, you have the ability to then go lift up

Howard Brown: 00:24:43

others in your neighborhoods, in your communities, and we become

Howard Brown: 00:24:47

a force multiplier for good and positive change and make the

Howard Brown: 00:24:50

world a better place. Alicia, this was tremendous. You are

Howard Brown: 00:24:54

tremendous. And thank you for coming on the shining brightly

Howard Brown: 00:24:57

show.

Alicia Cramer: 00:24:57

Thank you. Howard,
