STRONG WOMEN SHARING HOPE With Mia Doucet

Howard Brown: 00:00:02

Hello, it's Howard Brown. It's the Shining Brightly

Howard Brown: 00:00:05

Show. Oh my goodness, I am learning so much. And I have an

Howard Brown: 00:00:10

amazing guest. And her name is Mia Doucet. Mia, welcome.

Mia Doucet: 00:00:15

I'm delighted to be here, Howard, called an amazing

Mia Doucet: 00:00:19

guest,

Howard Brown: 00:00:19

you are an amazing guest because you're an amazing

Howard Brown: 00:00:22

person. And so it's we got a great show in store, we're going

Howard Brown: 00:00:26

to learn lots with through media today. I'm so thrilled, let me

Howard Brown: 00:00:29

tell you a little bit about her, you just said is an award

Howard Brown: 00:00:32

winning author, and she's the founding member of the woman's

Howard Brown: 00:00:36

Global Alliance. Okay, we'll hear a little bit more about

Howard Brown: 00:00:39

that. She's a mentor to women who are successful, but

Howard Brown: 00:00:44

potentially unhappy. And you're an authority unresolved

Howard Brown: 00:00:47

emotional issues that might have rooted in their childhood. And

Howard Brown: 00:00:52

that's probably a lot of us, right? Not just women, but a lot

Howard Brown: 00:00:54

of us. You've trained in a lot of different disciplines. And

Howard Brown: 00:00:58

your gift is to identify and clear the subconscious codes and

Howard Brown: 00:01:02

patterns that keep us from living our best life. So that's

Howard Brown: 00:01:06

very helpful in your previous life, until some financial

Howard Brown: 00:01:11

failures of in 2008, you were working with automotive

Howard Brown: 00:01:16

engineers and technical people, and you helped secure lots of

Howard Brown: 00:01:20

millions of dollars with their contracts, especially in the

Howard Brown: 00:01:22

Asia Pacific markets. And you say that you loved being in the

Howard Brown: 00:01:27

boardroom with really smart people. The thrill today is

Howard Brown: 00:01:31

empowering really smart women to break free from hidden personal

Howard Brown: 00:01:35

barriers, so they can be happy and financially successful. It's

Howard Brown: 00:01:39

beautiful. You help lift people up. That's what this show is all

Howard Brown: 00:01:41

about. So I got a question before we dive in. All right.

Howard Brown: 00:01:46

How are you shining brightly today?

Mia Doucet: 00:01:49

I am shining brightly. Because I have decided

Mia Doucet: 00:01:54

that my big goal in life, my big mission is to bring hope and

Mia Doucet: 00:02:00

inspiration to 1 million children and their parents,

Mia Doucet: 00:02:04

through finding sponsors for my book, because the book is about

Mia Doucet: 00:02:08

81 stories of children who've gone through every type of

Mia Doucet: 00:02:11

trauma you can imagine. And work their way through and have a

Mia Doucet: 00:02:17

nice day now shine brightly, Howard.

Howard Brown: 00:02:20

Well, you're already starting the mission is

Howard Brown: 00:02:22

a beautiful one. It's a big, audacious goal. But you know

Howard Brown: 00:02:26

what, you got to take that first step and you have already and I

Howard Brown: 00:02:30

think it's it's one it's, it's very noble. It's a noble

Howard Brown: 00:02:33

mission, and I want to support you. So take us back a little

Howard Brown: 00:02:38

bit. Give us some background, how did you get here at this

Howard Brown: 00:02:41

point now of your life?

Mia Doucet: 00:02:44

I've always I'm going to talk about the book.

Mia Doucet: 00:02:48

And how did I get to that point? I've always loved kids, I've

Mia Doucet: 00:02:53

always been fascinated by them. I they see the world through a

Mia Doucet: 00:02:57

totally different lens. And when I started my work, working with

Mia Doucet: 00:03:04

women one on one it was it became evident very quickly that

Mia Doucet: 00:03:07

any issues we have typically go back to childhood. So what

Mia Doucet: 00:03:12

happened to the child? How did the child perceive it, you know,

Mia Doucet: 00:03:15

from a very limited context, what just signals that they make

Mia Doucet: 00:03:20

about the world that continue to operate today. And that operate

Mia Doucet: 00:03:24

in patterns. And not just in patterns of our behaviour, but

Mia Doucet: 00:03:29

things that happen to us in patterns. So that a woman who

Mia Doucet: 00:03:35

for example, who sexually traumatised will often attract

Mia Doucet: 00:03:40

sexual trauma until that clears, for example. And I just found

Mia Doucet: 00:03:45

that fascinating that all our patterns, go back to childhood.

Mia Doucet: 00:03:50

So that's how I got to making the decision to write the book.

Howard Brown: 00:03:54

Well, we're gonna dig in deeper. So I really liked

Howard Brown: 00:03:56

that. The, you know, as a two time stage four cancer survivor,

Howard Brown: 00:04:00

I actually do have a keynote talk that actually get up again,

Howard Brown: 00:04:05

because we all get knocked down in life, and in business, and in

Howard Brown: 00:04:09

relationships, and in health, in my case, and many others. And

Howard Brown: 00:04:14

the key which I love the fact that you call it clearing the

Howard Brown: 00:04:18

subconscious, and the patterns is the ability to actually and I

Howard Brown: 00:04:22

call it using your light to get back up again, to get yourself

Howard Brown: 00:04:26

back up and then using your light to help others. So I love

Howard Brown: 00:04:29

that people are sharing their stories with you. And, you know,

Howard Brown: 00:04:33

how did you go about to you know, Garner 81 stories. I mean,

Howard Brown: 00:04:37

that's, that's incredible. It's a lot of work and time to do

Howard Brown: 00:04:40

that and interview these people and, and let them tell their

Howard Brown: 00:04:42

story. I

Mia Doucet: 00:04:44

started from client stories, getting their

Mia Doucet: 00:04:49

permission and re interviewing and making sure that I was able

Mia Doucet: 00:04:53

to get to the heart of the story very quickly. Because I didn't

Mia Doucet: 00:04:57

want a chapter on each person you know, just A very, very

Mia Doucet: 00:05:00

short chapter. And then sometimes they would refer to

Mia Doucet: 00:05:04

me. But also, because I'm on LinkedIn, there was an instance

Mia Doucet: 00:05:12

where I read the story of a woman from the USSR. And I was

Mia Doucet: 00:05:17

captivated by what she said. So I contacted her connected with

Mia Doucet: 00:05:21

her and asked if I could interview her. And she had just,

Mia Doucet: 00:05:25

I'm gonna say, a delightful story, and, and painful, but

Mia Doucet: 00:05:30

delightful story. And then she referred me to five other women

Mia Doucet: 00:05:34

and that it just began to grow.

Howard Brown: 00:05:37

So you see your ad one woman or global? Yes, there

Howard Brown: 00:05:42

could be? Well, I'm saying

Mia Doucet: 00:05:43

22, exactly. 23 countries, different cultures,

Mia Doucet: 00:05:49

different religions. So there was no I had no set programme, I

Mia Doucet: 00:05:53

had no set agenda. It whoever wanted to be interviewed, I

Mia Doucet: 00:05:57

interviewed and, and there's no pattern in the book, you know, I

Mia Doucet: 00:06:02

might talk about a Jehovah's Witness in one in one story and,

Mia Doucet: 00:06:07

and Irish Catholic and another, you know,

Howard Brown: 00:06:12

so there's a lot of diversity. Yes,

Mia Doucet: 00:06:15

very much so. And also societal levels. People who

Mia Doucet: 00:06:21

had no money to people who, you know, like the daughter of an

Mia Doucet: 00:06:24

ambassador, you know, so.

Howard Brown: 00:06:27

So, I mean, this is a it's a really cool

Howard Brown: 00:06:31

collection, because, you know, you have different themes,

Howard Brown: 00:06:36

right? And different stories that people are sharing. Are

Howard Brown: 00:06:41

there any like things that just, I mean, there was a lot of pain,

Howard Brown: 00:06:45

what you're telling me, people started to share a lot of pain,

Howard Brown: 00:06:48

and, and there were people pass the pain or they're in the pain

Howard Brown: 00:06:53

still, or was part of the journeys.

Mia Doucet: 00:06:58

They had to have been past the pain, okay for me

Mia Doucet: 00:07:01

to interview them. So because these are strong women, these

Mia Doucet: 00:07:07

are women who lived through the pain. Most of them had years of

Mia Doucet: 00:07:11

therapy, but lived through the pain and made a success of their

Mia Doucet: 00:07:16

life. So to CEO, many are engineers, medical doctors, CFO

Mia Doucet: 00:07:24

is a woman owners of their own small business. various levels

Mia Doucet: 00:07:32

of success in different professions, but they had to

Mia Doucet: 00:07:35

have, they had to consider themselves successful, to find a

Mia Doucet: 00:07:39

place in my book.

Howard Brown: 00:07:41

Excellent. And the lessons were they're all unique

Howard Brown: 00:07:45

themes, or were their themes, abuse or alcoholic parents are

Howard Brown: 00:07:51

divorced and things like that. There must have been right.

Mia Doucet: 00:07:53

All of the above and more abandonment. The death of a

Mia Doucet: 00:07:58

parent, one stories about the death of a grandparent so all

Mia Doucet: 00:08:05

sorts of grief, abuse, betrayal, abandonment. Anything you can

Mia Doucet: 00:08:14

imagine sexual trauma, sexual abuse.

Howard Brown: 00:08:18

Yeah, I It's strong. And now some of some of

Howard Brown: 00:08:23

these women are now moms themselves, right? Yes. And say

Howard Brown: 00:08:29

most, most are moms themselves. Okay. Have they broken? That?

Howard Brown: 00:08:34

That that pass pattern? Hopefully? Or are they still

Howard Brown: 00:08:38

kind of dealing with that with their own children? Did you not

Howard Brown: 00:08:40

get into that?

Mia Doucet: 00:08:41

Yeah, that's, that's interesting. Some of them feel

Mia Doucet: 00:08:44

that they're still dealing with it. You probably know about

Mia Doucet: 00:08:47

intergenerational trauma, right? So so that can go deep and can

Mia Doucet: 00:08:53

show up again, and can affect the relationship with a child or

Mia Doucet: 00:08:58

can affect the child's perception of the parent.

Howard Brown: 00:09:04

No, I understand. And that I will tell you that

Howard Brown: 00:09:07

one of the things that being a dad with a daughter, and through

Howard Brown: 00:09:12

my cancer, you know, I'm on the firing lines, not knowing if I'm

Howard Brown: 00:09:15

going to live or die with stage four colon cancer. And quite

Howard Brown: 00:09:19

frankly, even though we're trying to do a really good job

Howard Brown: 00:09:21

at raising our daughter, she she told us when things got a little

Howard Brown: 00:09:25

better for us and cleared a little bit for me and we weren't

Howard Brown: 00:09:28

so under the gun that no one was asking about her and how she was

Howard Brown: 00:09:33

doing and she felt ignored even though we were trying not to but

Howard Brown: 00:09:38

she was like they always say How's your dad, How's your dad

Howard Brown: 00:09:41

doing? How's your dad doing? And they she did from that

Howard Brown: 00:09:46

standpoint, feel that and she revealed that to us and we're

Howard Brown: 00:09:49

now addressing and dealing with that and and have been in but

Howard Brown: 00:09:53

it's an important thing. When you feel the world's coming on

Howard Brown: 00:09:57

done, you know something falls through the cracks and it that

Howard Brown: 00:10:00

fell through the cracks. I mean, we were doing everything we

Howard Brown: 00:10:02

could, but yeah,

Mia Doucet: 00:10:03

very much. So I mean, it's just one story that

Mia Doucet: 00:10:06

highlights what a difficult job it is to be a parent.

Howard Brown: 00:10:12

It's probably the hardest job,

Mia Doucet: 00:10:13

I think, the hardest job. And you had one child,

Mia Doucet: 00:10:17

right? So person has three children. There are other

Mia Doucet: 00:10:21

stories in the book too, about bullying. I didn't mention that

Mia Doucet: 00:10:23

earlier. And also about the male child being treated differently,

Mia Doucet: 00:10:30

or at least, so the child perceives that her brother is

Mia Doucet: 00:10:34

being treated differently. And and child have very little

Mia Doucet: 00:10:39

context, we'll make a decision that affects the rest of his his

Mia Doucet: 00:10:43

or her life.

Howard Brown: 00:10:46

All of that is true, because I, I'm the I'm a

Howard Brown: 00:10:49

twin. I'm the younger twin by five minutes, but I was treated

Howard Brown: 00:10:54

differently. For sure. That

Mia Doucet: 00:10:56

is 100%. Interesting. And is it a twin

Mia Doucet: 00:10:59

brother or a twin?

Howard Brown: 00:10:59

I have a twin sister.

Mia Doucet: 00:11:02

I felt that she was treated better than you. No,

Howard Brown: 00:11:06

no, no, no, just differently, not better, not

Howard Brown: 00:11:08

better. differently. Yeah, definitely a little

Mia Doucet: 00:11:11

boys in blue. And our little girls in pink, don't

Mia Doucet: 00:11:15

we. And we know that mothers talk differently to their girl

Mia Doucet: 00:11:18

babies than to their boy babies,

Howard Brown: 00:11:20

also, and I had a little bit more leniency as

Howard Brown: 00:11:21

being the boy and the girl. And, you know, it just worked out

Howard Brown: 00:11:23

that way. And now I tell my big sister who is five minutes

Howard Brown: 00:11:25

older, she also saved my life through a bone marrow

Howard Brown: 00:11:29

transplant. So we are very close. But she, she doesn't want

Howard Brown: 00:11:39

to be the older one. Now. I have five minutes. And then I do I do

Howard Brown: 00:11:44

notice that especially if you're the My sister has three

Howard Brown: 00:11:47

children, she has an older one and two twins, my twin has

Howard Brown: 00:11:51

twins, girl boy twins, and the girl is older than the boy. But

Howard Brown: 00:11:55

I do notice that and people middle child, you know, also

Howard Brown: 00:11:59

youngest child, you know, the oldest child of a big family. So

Howard Brown: 00:12:04

I didn't you know, I never really thought about it that

Howard Brown: 00:12:06

deeply. But it definitely affects your, your growing up

Howard Brown: 00:12:10

and your decision making. Very important.

Mia Doucet: 00:12:12

And the patterns, you know, you I'm sure you'd

Mia Doucet: 00:12:15

agree with me we get a certain age. And we realise that our

Mia Doucet: 00:12:19

patterns in life are totally different from other people's.

Mia Doucet: 00:12:24

The things keep happening to us, you know, that don't happen to

Mia Doucet: 00:12:27

other people. And that they'll goes back to I think beliefs

Mia Doucet: 00:12:32

that we took on at a very early age when we had no context we

Mia Doucet: 00:12:38

had no life experience. No. Well,

Howard Brown: 00:12:43

I will tell you this that role models and

Howard Brown: 00:12:45

mentors matter. Because in the first chapter of my book and

Howard Brown: 00:12:50

shining brightly, my great grandmother, her name is Bobby

Howard Brown: 00:12:53

Bertha Buddha, she came to this country as an Orthodox Jewish

Howard Brown: 00:12:56

woman, she lived to 101 This woman lived but she didn't live

Howard Brown: 00:13:00

with telephones and television, she lived with, you know, the

Howard Brown: 00:13:03

hardship of life and then coming here as like a 17 year old. And

Howard Brown: 00:13:06

as an Orthodox Jewish woman, she drilled into us that we could

Howard Brown: 00:13:10

choose to be kind, choose to be giving, choose to be healing,

Howard Brown: 00:13:14

choose to be grateful, and choose not to hate. That's

Howard Brown: 00:13:17

Chapter One of my book. And that was a beautiful gift. Because I

Howard Brown: 00:13:23

carried that with me through my entire life and my twin sister

Howard Brown: 00:13:26

have and, and she also, she said a little thing in our family,

Howard Brown: 00:13:31

when we find money, you know, you find a penny, pick it up,

Howard Brown: 00:13:34

you find $1. She said to all of us, and this is our family wide,

Howard Brown: 00:13:39

we don't have a big family. That money goes is not your money.

Howard Brown: 00:13:43

It's God's money, it goes to charity. And so we still do it.

Howard Brown: 00:13:47

When we find money. It goes into what's called a Jewish piggy

Howard Brown: 00:13:50

bank or sadaqa box. And it is given to those lovely Hauer

Mia Doucet: 00:13:54

Yeah, it really is.

Howard Brown: 00:13:56

I know so you can carry what I'm trying to do is

Howard Brown: 00:13:58

also offset some of the pain is that there are some really big

Howard Brown: 00:14:02

legacy lessons that we carry forward that are very positive

Howard Brown: 00:14:06

that shape us, then we also get some of the bad stuff as well.

Mia Doucet: 00:14:11

Yes, I would say a lot of the women who were in my

Mia Doucet: 00:14:15

book did not have that kind of legacy.

Howard Brown: 00:14:19

Sure. Well, and that affects our decision making

Howard Brown: 00:14:23

and and who you put in your inner circle, right? I mean,

Howard Brown: 00:14:28

again, there's you know, if you grew up on the streets, and

Howard Brown: 00:14:31

didn't have any role modelling and didn't have a Bobby Bertha

Howard Brown: 00:14:34

bhootish you know, you're making decisions that you're trying to

Howard Brown: 00:14:37

just, you know, keep your head above water, and sometimes you

Howard Brown: 00:14:40

hang out with the wrong people. Now, I've done that too. We all

Howard Brown: 00:14:44

we all do it. We're human right. We are. I have to say we are all

Howard Brown: 00:14:47

just a work in progress. We have to give ourselves a little bit

Howard Brown: 00:14:50

of grace, but it can get you in trouble. And I call that trouble

Howard Brown: 00:14:55

walking in darkness. And there are big lessons from there. You

Howard Brown: 00:14:59

just can't stay there. too long. And I hope some of these women,

Howard Brown: 00:15:02

somebody, I mean, I've heard stories, you know, there are

Howard Brown: 00:15:04

women that have had sexual abuse, and they have carried it

Howard Brown: 00:15:08

with them for years and years and years of not telling their

Howard Brown: 00:15:11

story. And I've had a podcast guest that held it for 44 years.

Howard Brown: 00:15:15

And so I can't it just imaginable. And again, I have to

Howard Brown: 00:15:20

tell you having cancer twice that was 26 years apart. One was

Howard Brown: 00:15:24

analogue. There were no computers, cell phones, and now

Howard Brown: 00:15:27

you know, 2016 and on for colon cancer. I don't know how that

Howard Brown: 00:15:32

trauma is affecting me long term. But I still have to deal

Howard Brown: 00:15:37

with it. You know, I just came through a very difficult seven

Howard Brown: 00:15:41

years. Okay, and it's how I'm choosing to move forward.

Howard Brown: 00:15:45

Absolutely. And I have empowered myself, emotionally, physically,

Howard Brown: 00:15:50

financially, and in relationships to move forward.

Howard Brown: 00:15:53

And I gotta tell you, it's not super easy. It's not super easy,

Howard Brown: 00:15:57

some days, but most days, it's really a pleasure to get up and

Howard Brown: 00:16:00

try to use my light to help others. But

Mia Doucet: 00:16:03

it's a discipline, constant choosing, isn't it,

Mia Doucet: 00:16:05

Howard?

Howard Brown: 00:16:06

Yeah, it's all about that. It's

Mia Doucet: 00:16:08

really well, how I'm going to be

Howard Brown: 00:16:10

I know it. Any other themes or stories you'd

Howard Brown: 00:16:14

like to share that you kind of took you did this big research

Howard Brown: 00:16:17

project? It's amazing. It was

Mia Doucet: 00:16:19

a big research project. Yeah. Yeah. You want me

Mia Doucet: 00:16:23

to share a story, I mentioned that one of the first people I

Mia Doucet: 00:16:28

interviewed was a woman from the USSR. So I'll tell you her

Mia Doucet: 00:16:33

story. This is one of 81 stories. All right. She has a

Mia Doucet: 00:16:37

twin sister, identical twin, and their father leaves the mother

Mia Doucet: 00:16:46

and them when they are six months old. So she grows up

Mia Doucet: 00:16:50

without her father. And in the day in the USSR, if you were a

Mia Doucet: 00:16:55

single parent, you put your child into a school like, you

Mia Doucet: 00:16:59

know, even in early infancy, you had to go out and work. So your

Mia Doucet: 00:17:04

child had to be placed. And they were in that school setting for

Mia Doucet: 00:17:09

the entire week. So when the children pre K, the father

Mia Doucet: 00:17:14

contacts the school and says he really loves them, and he wants

Mia Doucet: 00:17:20

to come and see them. And so they sit at the end, I should

Mia Doucet: 00:17:25

tell you that one of the things I love about the book is that

Mia Doucet: 00:17:29

each story is illustrated with a drawing. So this is the episode

Mia Doucet: 00:17:33

as seen from the child's eyes. So you've got this scene. And in

Mia Doucet: 00:17:38

a really in a setting that is not child friendly. You've got

Mia Doucet: 00:17:47

these beds, you've got other kids sleeping, and these two

Mia Doucet: 00:17:49

little girls are three or four years old, sitting on the edge

Mia Doucet: 00:17:52

of the bed, waiting for their father. And in the story. They

Mia Doucet: 00:17:56

wait 13 years to see their father. And you know, without

Mia Doucet: 00:18:02

telling you a few of the other things that happened, they go to

Mia Doucet: 00:18:06

university. And then Canada has opened the country to educated

Mia Doucet: 00:18:12

women. And so they want to go to Canada. But you need the

Mia Doucet: 00:18:17

permission of both parents. So they get the permission from the

Mia Doucet: 00:18:23

mother and the father. Now that's going to be a more

Mia Doucet: 00:18:25

difficult thing. He shows up, they're 18 years old, he shows

Mia Doucet: 00:18:32

up, and he signs knowing that he's going to lose his job.

Mia Doucet: 00:18:41

Because he's with the KGB. Wow. And the last the last sentence

Mia Doucet: 00:18:48

in her story is, and that's the last time I saw my father, I

Mia Doucet: 00:18:54

titled the story. That is how you love me. Wow.

Howard Brown: 00:18:58

And I your illustrations are remarkable. So

Howard Brown: 00:19:01

I mean, it's really cool added that feature into this story. So

Howard Brown: 00:19:04

well. Thank you for sharing that. That's fascinating. It's a

Howard Brown: 00:19:07

good tease into the book. Let's now move a little bit into how

Howard Brown: 00:19:11

you're coaching and how you're helping women and then then

Howard Brown: 00:19:15

we'll talk about how to help, you know, reach 1 million

Howard Brown: 00:19:19

children and families. Yeah.

Mia Doucet: 00:19:22

I'm choosing to coach executive women and women

Mia Doucet: 00:19:26

who own their own business. I've had a lot of corporate

Mia Doucet: 00:19:30

experience prior to choosing this line of work. So it's kind

Mia Doucet: 00:19:35

of a natural market for me. And what I'm identifying and I saw

Mia Doucet: 00:19:41

this in myself too, is that when you're in business for yourself,

Mia Doucet: 00:19:44

you can feel isolated. You can feel like you're doing it all

Mia Doucet: 00:19:48

along. And and I also saw women who were very I have clients,

Mia Doucet: 00:19:55

very successful in their work financially successful but not

Mia Doucet: 00:20:01

happy, not joyful, not shining brightly. So and so when they

Mia Doucet: 00:20:08

come to me, they almost always say, they've tried everything

Mia Doucet: 00:20:13

and not had any results. And so that's what that's my market

Mia Doucet: 00:20:16

because that's, that's I like to work at what everybody else is

Mia Doucet: 00:20:19

considered impossible. Because once you get to the subconscious

Mia Doucet: 00:20:24

level, I shouldn't use the word magic, magical. But it feels

Mia Doucet: 00:20:30

almost magical, that you can change things because you got to

Mia Doucet: 00:20:33

the root. You know, the problem with most talk therapy, which

Mia Doucet: 00:20:38

come with most psychotherapy is you're talking about the problem

Mia Doucet: 00:20:41

and talking about the problem and talking. But you're not

Mia Doucet: 00:20:46

getting to the heart of it, you're not you're not resolving

Mia Doucet: 00:20:49

anything. And all that does is drive it deeper into the

Mia Doucet: 00:20:52

subconscious. Right. So, so that's my work.

Howard Brown: 00:20:57

I love it. I love it. Now, tell us, you know, you

Howard Brown: 00:21:01

stated that you shine brightly by your goal to help a million

Howard Brown: 00:21:04

children in their families. How do we help you do that?

Mia Doucet: 00:21:09

Well, I'm looking for sponsors, I'm looking for

Mia Doucet: 00:21:12

people in communities that deal with families, for example, that

Mia Doucet: 00:21:17

deal with disadvantaged children. And I will provide

Mia Doucet: 00:21:24

books in great number of it to to pass on to people who would

Mia Doucet: 00:21:31

get something out of it. So I think very often of when people

Mia Doucet: 00:21:34

are disadvantaged, you know, whether the parents or their

Mia Doucet: 00:21:37

children, they maybe don't realise that there's a way out.

Mia Doucet: 00:21:42

And I think it would be inspiring to read stories, about

Mia Doucet: 00:21:48

81 kids who made it, you know, is

Howard Brown: 00:21:52

and, you know, you hear about orphans, and you hear

Howard Brown: 00:21:55

about the hardship that they went through, and it's a great

Howard Brown: 00:21:58

learning experience. And I'll tell you what you're doing, by

Howard Brown: 00:22:02

helping these these children is one, you're giving them a path

Howard Brown: 00:22:06

forward. And there's these four very important letters, H O, P.

Howard Brown: 00:22:11

E, you're providing hope. And I, that's the last chapter of my

Howard Brown: 00:22:15

book is sharing hope you're sharing hope. And so sharing

Howard Brown: 00:22:19

hope, because I share hope with with everyone but also,

Howard Brown: 00:22:22

especially with cancer patients in treatment of cancer patients

Howard Brown: 00:22:26

in trying to rebuild their lives and survivorship. And that hope

Howard Brown: 00:22:29

is the fuel that is needed to be able to get out of bed some

Howard Brown: 00:22:34

days, and to forge forward. And so it's so important. So we are

Howard Brown: 00:22:39

super aligned in giving people that hope that can help them,

Howard Brown: 00:22:43

you know, take that next step forward. And I love that this

Howard Brown: 00:22:46

has been really cool. And it's just just a tease on you and

Howard Brown: 00:22:51

your work. So people will will definitely contact you for more,

Howard Brown: 00:22:54

but I want you to put on your sunglasses, you got some cool

Howard Brown: 00:22:56

shades. Glasses, or sunglasses. Oh man, this is This is

Howard Brown: 00:23:53

got. Okay,

Mia Doucet: 00:23:55

so this is this reflects a bit on what we what

Mia Doucet: 00:23:58

we talked about earlier, the quickest and least painful way

Mia Doucet: 00:24:04

to change conditioning at the subconscious level is to book is

Mia Doucet: 00:24:11

based on neuroscience, right? Doesn't take years of therapy to

Mia Doucet: 00:24:15

get happy. You just have to get into the root cause of what is

Mia Doucet: 00:24:19

causing the discontent. And you can do that through the theta

Mia Doucet: 00:24:27

level. If you know anything about brainwave technology. If

Mia Doucet: 00:24:31

you if you get in at a certain level of the brain and the

Mia Doucet: 00:24:36

brainwaves, you can reach right into the other person's

Mia Doucet: 00:24:41

subconscious. It's just a gift to have been able to discover

Mia Doucet: 00:24:45

that and then to have received some some training in it. So So

Mia Doucet: 00:24:50

that's mine.
