Perhaps you’ve heard of spirituality but aren’t sure what it means. Spirituality is a broad concept that provides meaning, purpose and connection to something greater than ourselves. It cultivates a deeper sense of self-awareness and can serve as guiding light during the storms. But have you ever wondered how spirituality shapes our relationship and perception of the world?
In this episode, I have Wendy Watson, CEO and Founder of TBR Spiritual Health. We discuss how spiritual therapy works that helps clients tap into their spirituality. Wendy discusses several self-care practices, meditation, energy communication and how peoples’ spiritual practices can change over the course of time. Tune in and connect with your spirituality today!

Connecting with Your Spirituality with Wendy Watson
Welcome to Action’s Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. In the last episode, we briefly touched a bit on spirituality and on how we’re at a time period where things may be changing, may be evolving, we may be changing the way we’re even thinking about spirituality and how it relates to everything else that we’re doing in life. Today, I would like to bring on Wendy Watson, who is the CEO and founder of TBR Spiritual Health, to talk a little bit more specifically spiritual therapy.

Wendy, welcome to the program.
Hi. Thank you so much for having me, I really appreciate it.
Beginning with what you do with your spiritual therapy, I know you have a few different offerings with your business and a few different manners in which you work with your clients, but tell us about what it means to go into spiritual therapy and how it relates to any of the endeavors that we all have in our minds.
Yeah, so I really focus on getting the individual person in touch with their spirit, their higher self, their intuition, and whatever is above and beyond that for them
And so your clients, when they come to you, are most of them in a place where they already have some sort of a spiritual tradition or do you commonly get people who come with absolutely no, purely like everything’s just logic, science, and how atoms come together, blah, blah, blah?
No, I get more — I get people that already have some sort of relationship already established, whether they grew up Catholic or Christian or very much into the spiritual world, more on what people call the woo-woo side. I get all walks of life. Really, all I do is I try and build on what they’ve already cultivated for themselves and get them to look at that more on their own, helping them to define it for themselves. Like, okay, what does that mean to you versus what has somebody else told you that it means and how can you use that in alignment with yourself and how can we set up a self-care routine in order to keep your spirit clean, in order to keep you in connection with spirit, with God, with whatever you want to call it?
We can get really caught up in our day-to-day lives and get really busy so most people that come to you, are they people who just generally have the time, are they generally too distracted, are they generally constantly busy? I’m from New York where everyone’s constantly busy all the time and that’s a code of honor, what state is that relationship with the spiritual usually in when people come to you?
So, I get a lot of people with high anxiety, depression, suicidal tendencies or suicidal thoughts. They’re so focused on the right here and the right now that they’re in fear of the future or they just feel like the future is not coming to them, something along those lines. I deal with a lot of entrepreneurs which are busy, busy, busy, they’re very task oriented and so it’s like, okay, being task oriented is great in business but once you’re done with it, you have to have the life-business balance, so when you’re done with business, what does that look like so that we can do the self-care. And most people are used to the nutritional self-care, like eating healthy, getting their exercise in. Some people are familiar with mindfulness or meditation or at least going for a relaxing walk, something along those lines.
But just as it feels good to take your car to go get a carwash after a storm, it feels even better when you can clear the spirit. Share on XAs entrepreneurs or as people that are very task oriented, you deal with a lot of people on a daily basis. It only takes seven seconds to make 11 judgments about somebody. That’s a lot of energy in a very short amount of time, would you not agree?
Yeah, I said woke for a reason.
Yeah, right? But you don’t just spend 11 seconds with somebody. You spend 30 minutes or an hour talking with somebody. And then think about how many people you deal with on a weekly basis. So clearing your spirit of their energy, of the grime of the different energies that you’ve taken on throughout the week and being able to do a spiritual bath or do whatever works for you, whatever we can create for you to just clear that energy off and refresh the spirit.
And so people oftentimes phrase self-care in the categories of mind, body, and spirit. And so you know, there’s a body, mind, and spirit expo here in Colorado, I think it’s twice a year. So you talked about the body stuff obviously being what you eat, how much you move, and then the mindfulness. Is the mind and the spirit, is that a separation that people oftentimes kind of forget to consider when they think about self-care?
So, to me, I don’t know if you can tell, on the bottom corner of my screen, I have like these six points of energy. So you have your physical and your nutritional that we’ve already talked about. But then you have your mindset, your emotion, your spirit, and the overall importance of love for energy, and they all work with each other and affect each other in some way, shape, or form. You go through a breakup, you’re going to emotionally eat, you’re going to eat that pint of ice cream or binge drink. If you ate something that you weren’t supposed to eat or it didn’t sit well with you, you’re not going to feel energized to go exercise.
Yeah.
Or it may impact your mental capabilities and your problem solving skills. To me, all six points interact with and affect each other so that’s what I focus on is all six points of energy and how can we get you into at least 70 percent of alignment with that.
Seventy percent of alignment. Now, is that something you can measure? Is it easy for me to look at, say, what I do with my day and write down a list of activities and actually come up with a percentage like I am this many percent in alignment with who I am or is that something more of a general estimate?
I think that’s up to the individual person and how their brain works. I’m able to do that, but then again, I’ve been working on it for a few years. And I’ve been able to teach other people how to do it but other people struggle with that and we need to use a different method. So, I think it all depends on how their brain is wired.
And I was just thinking that specifically because you mentioned really task-oriented people and I just envisioned a task-oriented person also being the one that’s going to say, “Well, how do you know I’m 72 percent? How do you know I’m not still 69 percent?” and really kind of zone in on that number.
Right. Well, and that’s up to them. In that case, I would just say it’s more of a generalization. It’s not like we’re going to know whether it’s 70.5 percent or it’s 71 percent.
Exactly, but I guess the point where you’re talking about not expecting perfection is really kind of what you’re getting at, right? Like you’re not going to be perfectly aligned and you’re not going to avoid ever having that one day that just feels so out of alignment and you end up so drained, it’s just about what happens more often than not,
Yeah, like where are you at the majority of the time? Because somebody is going to say something that’s going to catch you off guard or you’re going to get frustrated because you had to drive in traffic on the way home.
Yeah.
Right? You’re always going to have something that’s going to try and throw you out of balance. It’s learning the tools or how to pull energy from different sources or set up the self-care or any of that stuff to help you keep in alignment and not allow outside sources to pull you out of it.
So, I think we’re all aware at this point of what like your standard offering self-care routines are, a lot of meditation, napping, baths, sometimes hikes in nature and stuff like that. In the world of people’s thoughts about self-care, is there anything you feel like we generally get wrong or need to rethink or kind of overlook as potential versions of self-care?
I think there’s an infinite number of ways that you can develop your self-care routine. I just had a client create a self-definition board. So kind of like how some people are making affirmation boards?
Yeah.
She did not know how to define herself so instead of doing an affirmation board, we did a self-definition board. And so she came up with adjectives of how she would define herself and she wrote down definitions for them on a piece of paper, but then she made this collage of a board with all the different adjectives on it and put it up on her wall.
So there’s all kinds of different tools like drums and pendulums and herbs that you can use. Some people are very aware that sage is a cleansing herb, right? So is Palo Santo. So if you don’t have a half an hour to do a meditation, you could just sage yourself for 30 seconds and you’ll feel an energy shift, you’ll feel the change, and then you can go on and go about your business. So it all depends on what works for you, what your timeline looks like, how much time do you have for self-care, that kind of stuff.
Now, I know that different people have different amounts of time and some people don’t have that hour to take a bath or do like even a 10-minute meditation practice. Do you ever challenge people though on prioritizing their time use? Because I know for a fact that people waste a lot of time, for example, scrolling through social media, one of my business interests there. Do you ever try to get people to remove things from their lives that are either a waste of time or both a waste of time and really bad for their self-care?
A hundred percent.
We need to figure out what’s not working for you so that we can create the space to bring in those things that do work for you. Share on XTo me, it’s just as important to know what’s not working as it is to know what is working, because if it’s not working, let’s get rid of it, let’s take it out of the closet, donate it, do whatever, be generous in reciprocity, but also creating the space to bring in something new that might work better for you.
Obviously, if something’s not working, you still want to replace it with something. Otherwise, you’re just going to go back to it based on whatever habits you got mapped into your brain. Now, you’re saying that all things are individual, are there any general things that you try to steer people toward or away from? Is there any general guidelines, kind of like people say the meditation, the bathing, all that stuff, or do you come at it with a completely unbiased, like I’m going to look at it solely on what the individual I’m talking to is working with?
So if it’s an environment like this where we’re on a podcast, there are things that I love to generalize. I always encourage and challenge people to at least find five to ten minutes to just focus on your breath and they just take a moment to ground, center yourself, whatever it is, especially depending on how your kids are acting that day or if your kids are very rambunctious and you’re about to go in the grocery store, please take the five minutes before you get out of the car to just focus on your breath and calm the whole energy down inside the car before you get out and go into the grocery store because it’s going to make your experience and everybody else’s experience a little more pleasant. But when I’m working one on one with somebody, then I will come in completely unbiased and hear from them first on what they’ve already tried and what’s worked and what they’ve already tried that doesn’t work and then I’ll present some tools and they tell me what resonates with them and what doesn’t resonate with them and then we’ll go on from there.
Are there any general trends or general common practices today that you generally would advise kind of a broader audience against doing anything that you’re seeing is just missing the mark?
That’s a great question, I’ve never been asked that question. I would just be cautious of anything that is medicinal and just make sure that you have done your due diligence to find the proper provider with the right ethics and morals for anything that’s medicinal.
I think I know broadly what you’re saying. Yeah, that makes sense. I know you want to be cautious about it because different things are going to work for different people. I know, I do try to do some of the standard meditation, mindfulness stuff, but also as a pretty solidly extroverted person, I know that I need some practices that, quote-unquote, as I put it, “fill my extrovert cup,” which is often very different from what most mindfulness talks about.
Well, you need to find all of those things that fill your cup. If you’re an extrovert and you need that large amount of energy transition and be dealing with people and have that very enthusiastic conversation, then you need to go out to a comedy club or go to a concert or whatever it is in order to fill that cup. If you’re an introvert, you need to find your quiet time. So I’m an extroverted introvert so I love dealing with people and communicating and all of those things but then, at the end of the day, I need my quiet time where I can just either tune in to the boob tube or tune in to music or whatever it is to where I need to just shut down.
That makes sense. And then you also said that you work with a lot of people who are dealing with some really, really heavy things, like we talked about the depression, anxiety, and suicide. Is there anything going on in the world today that you feel like is leading to this being so prevalent right now?
And I’m going to say this cautiously because of the conversation that we had prior to the recording is just the polarity that’s going on in the world right now is causing a lot of anxiety, a sense of overwhelm in a lot of people. And I’m not saying one side or the other, I’m just the pure energy of how diverse the polarity is.
Yeah, that makes sense. And then when you start working with a person who has that type of anxiety, depression, is there a base level where you have to, before starting with anything really deep, you need to just kind of get them out of this like almost suicidal tendency? Is there almost like a standard therapy component like listening, letting them vent to it that needs to start with the program?
Yeah, so my first session with anybody, any of those particular clients, is always just listening and having them explain to me as much as they can about what they’re experiencing, what they’re going through, how long it’s been going on. Number one, it’s information gathering for me, and number two, it’s allowing them the opportunity to feel safe in sharing their experiences.
Yeah.
So one of the clients that I’m working with right now, she’s had nightmares every day for years, and after one session with me, she went a whole week with no nightmares and ended up having her first full night’s sleep where she didn’t wake up at all.
Oh, wow.
And after a month, she’s only had two in 30 days, two nightmares in 30 days.
So, oftentimes, you have to like kind of get someone dig them out of like whatever emotional hole they’re in before you start working on building that spiritual connection and having that connected to whatever life results they’re trying to get.
So, I don’t try and dig them out. What I try and do is get them in touch with their energy. With this particular client, I had her start doing body scans, just energetic body scans, so that she can get in tune with her body, get in tune with her energy, find out where it’s muddy, where it’s really slow, where it’s blocked, or where it’s flowing really well, and teach her how to move that energy down and out to her feet. And the more she does that, the more she’s regulating her own energy and teaching her how to set intentions with that energy so if there’s a mood or an adjective or something that she wants to apply to that energy and having that move through her body, permeate her cells, go through all the tissues, everything else, get to all the creases and crevices of the body, and let that energy, have her dictate her own energy. And the more she does that, the happier she is, the more she’s figuring out who she is, the less she’s binge eating, the fewer nightmares she’s having and she hasn’t had any suicidal thoughts since January.
And that’s wonderful because one of the things that I do personally find really sad right now is the prevalence of these suicidal thoughts, because it represents a mindset of not having any hope, really, because if you have hope, you’re probably like, “Oh, well, then I can get through this, get to the next phase of life,” or whatever. I know a lot of people listening, I know a lot of entrepreneurs tend to be really focused also on results, what I want to get, and I’m guessing you try to focus less on those specific, tangible, like, “I want to earn $250,000 in my business next year,” or something and it’s more about building that energy flow that will get you whatever results you eventually want.
Right, so let’s focus on the energy and the communication for — I mean, everybody wants tangible results. The challenge is how do you quantify spirituality?
I know some religious organizations that like to try but, yes.
Right? So I just said it was a challenge, I didn’t say it was impossible. So, what I would like to do with entrepreneurs is get the energy right, heal the emotional aspects that are keeping you blocked from making that quarter million dollars this year, and then work on manifesting it. Because we can only truly manifest when we are clean. Otherwise, all of these other emotions and triggers and sense of overwhelming and anxiety, if you go into a sales meeting all hyper anxious or depressed because you haven’t paid your rent yet this month or whatever the situation, nobody wants to buy from that energy.
So if you go into a sales meeting with an unhealthy energy for that particular person or even for yourself and you’re not in your authenticity, people aren’t going to buy from you.
And it’s kind of weird because I think most people sense it, they just don’t really kind of state it in those words. When people will say like, “Something about that person was just a little off,” or, “This person kind of rubbed me the wrong way,” or, “Oh, man, I love being around that person,” that’s all this energy communication that people just aren’t in general not aware that it is an energy communication.
I hear that from people all the time, they’re like, “I met this person but there was something a little off and I don’t know what it was so I’m just gonna keep my space.”
Feelings are right too.
Yeah.
At least I’ve noticed whenever I’ve had something come into my life and I’d be like, “Ugh, something’s off about this person,” and then they do something really sus and you’re like, “Oh, wow. I guess that was the right instinct.”
Right. You ever walk into a room and you’re looking for the ambiance of the room or the restaurant? It’s all the same thing. You’re feeding off the energy.
Yeah, it presents an energy, kind of like how Applebee’s intentionally presents this really busy, too many decorations energy as you walk in.
Right, or romantic relationships or restaurants have dim lights, they have darker colors, they have bigger booths.
And way to bring it to, since you mentioned all the different forms of energy, including your nutrition, way to bring it to a somewhat healthier destination than Applebee’s.
I mean, there’s nothing wrong with Applebee’s. I love going to Applebee’s for a good football game and —
Yeah.
Right?
Definitely. And now, in your business, you’re exposed to a lot of people who have different types of energies and their energy problems. What do you do personally to keep your energy in the balance where you want it to be?
Right, so I have my self-care routine, clearly. The most important thing that I was taught as a massage therapist in regards to energy, which I love teaching people, especially other healers and other empaths, you remember in the movie ID4, Independence Day, they go to attack the mothership and then all of it — when they fire the lasers or the bombs or whatever, you see this green field. Like you don’t see it at first but once it hits, then you see the green force field around it?
Yeah.
So, for me, it’s really important to have a strong force field. I think the Bible talks about it as keeping your circle or something like that. You don’t allow anybody inside your circle that isn’t trusted or that isn’t a clean energy or whatever. So when I’m working on somebody, I have energetic boundaries and I don’t let their energy penetrate my force field, if you will, so that I don’t take it in. It’s already hard enough to deal with our own stuff, it’s ten times harder to get rid of something that you took in from somebody else that you don’t even know what it is.
So you found a technique to have that armor, that force field, to avoid taking in the energy of every single person you come in and see. Now, is this something you also teach your clients how to do, because, eventually, you’re going to start doing things and that feels like the next level, like once you’ll be able to control the stuff around you then you can build that armor?
Right. So once you get in tune with yourself and you figure out what your energy is, that is the next important stage to be able to set those energetic boundaries so that you don’t start then taking in more stuff from other people. So it’s kind of like quieting the noise so that you can focus on your energy, because if you’re still taking in energy from other people, you’re never going to be able to tune in and focus on yours.
Are there stages in this journey where people need to do certain different things, I think I see a lot of people talk about spiritual awakenings and having to distance themselves from certain groups of people or even going on a retreat from the world for like a period of time during that journey?
Absolutely. People are energies so if it’s an energy that’s in conflict with yours, that’s not complementary to yours, then, obviously, distancing yourself from that energy, from that person would be ideal. And I’m a firm believer, back a thousand years ago or even a few hundred years ago, as a young adult, people would take their journeys in order to become an adult, whether it was a male and they went camping and they had to go kill a bear to prove his manhood or whatever it is.
When I was going on this journey for myself, I really had to distance myself from my family. My family is very much Orthodox Christian, God bless them, I love them, but I needed to figure out what my relationship with God looked like without their influence because what mine looks like is far different from what theirs looks like.
Now, did this look like a retreat, I guess that’s the other self-care stereotype right now, or did it just look like a period of time where you just like distanced yourself from your family or from the specific people who were, as you said at the beginning of this podcast, telling you what your relationship with God was as opposed to you figuring it out based on how you feel?
it’s not like guy went to the Maldives for a year, anything like that, but it was more of a personal energy retreat, just like space, didn’t talk to them as often, didn’t talk to them about any of the personal or the deep stuff, it was mostly more superficial conversation when we did talk. And the more I am grounded and the more confident I am in my relationship, then I can start letting a little bit more out and out with them as far as little tasters to kind of see what their limitations are as far as what they want to hear from me, what they’re comfortable with, because I don’t want to make them uncomfortable either. So now it’s like finding that new balance and finding that new relationship.
Now, did this period of time, was this when you decided to start your business?
No, this was after my second divorce and loss of a child and I needed to go on my spiritual journey and figure out what the heck I was doing and why I was making the decisions I was making and why I was picking the people that I was picking. And a lot of those habits that I was making at the time stemmed from my family.
Hmm, interesting.
So I needed to distance myself from that to figure out what habits I wanted to get rid of and what new habits I wanted to bring in.
If you spend time around the habits that you don’t want, it’s harder to get rid of. Share on XIt’s like an alcoholic that’s trying to get clean but if you spend time with alcoholics, it’s going to be really hard for you to stay clean or to get clean. So if you’re around emotionally immature people but you want to emotionally mature, one doesn’t feed the other.
Makes sense, that whole “Show me your friends, I’ll show you your future” phrase, I think that’s the quickest, most generic way people put it.
Yeah.
Also like the average of the five people you spend the most time around, that one’s probably heard a little bit more often. But, yeah, that idea that you want to surround yourself with that energy, the ones that match. So what did prompt you to start your spiritual health business?
So I was a massage therapist in Phoenix for 12 years and I slowly was adding it into my business there and then, in October of ’21, through my communications with God, was called to move to Denver and rebrand and close up shop in Phoenix. So I did just that on pure faith, closed my business, sold my house. My dog also ended up with a brain tumor and put her down so it was literally like a clean slate, start fresh, and moved up here and settled in and be like, okay, now what? And so January of ’23, started rebranding and getting away from the massage and getting more into the spiritual world and the spiritual therapy. And so I’ve been rebranding it since January last year.
What does that TBR stand for?
To Be Revealed.
To Be Revealed. So one of the interesting things about this is that it’s like the process that brought you to the business is exactly the process that you teach in your business, that connection with the spiritual and quieting all the noise and then you came in, moved, rebranded all on faith. Did you get any strange reactions to it from your family or from anyone else? Did you have any self-doubt that you had to overcome?
I was in full faith so there was no self-doubt. I didn’t know what lied ahead so there was a lot of uncertainty but I have learned to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I did get some flak from my family. I spent 25 years in San Diego and 19 years in Phoenix and they’re like, “You realize it’s cold up there?” Not good with snow. I’m like, “Yes, I’m aware of that,” and they’re like, “Are you gonna be able to handle it?” They were testing me and asking me all the questions, which I was great. I’m okay with being tested because I’m strong in my decisions and I’m strong in my faith and all that stuff so I was okay with it. It was also getting them to be okay with it. I did move out of the house. When I turned 18, I moved to Indiana for like three months and I thought I was moving for the rest of my life, because you’re 18, you’re finally getting out of the house, and I lasted three months. I was like this is not the right fit for me. And so they were like, “Remember when?” I was like, “I was also 18, I am now 40 something years old, it’s different. I’m a grown woman now.” So changing their mindsets a little bit too.
I know, generationally, there is kind of this like traditional vision for people, a lot of younger people, particularly the millennials and Gen Zs, are trying to break away from that kind of traditional path and try something new, and I know there’s a lot of people where it’s just very, very unfamiliar to them. It’s very much like why would you go for this weird, starting a business thing where you have to endure all the uncertainty, you have to do all this extra work, doesn’t it just makes so much more sense just to get a job or do what’s considered traditionally normal.
No matter what your theology and ideology is, I believe that people are here to help test you to figure out what you really want. Share on XIf you have an idea of what you want to do and then somebody comes out and they start asking you questions or start questioning your motives or whether or not you’ll be successful or anything like that, I think that’s just there to test you and be like, “Is this what you really want? Because if you really want it, then just go get it.” Because, otherwise, you’re going to be sitting there questioning the rest of your life whether or not you should have, you could have, you would have, and, I’m sorry, but that doesn’t sound like a very fun way to live to me.
No, no, and it’s something that seriously does get a little bit scary, for sure.
For sure. Humans don’t like change and humans don’t like uncertainty, so it is a little bit scary but you won’t know the true power of what you are capable of doing or what you are capable of becoming unless you’re willing to take that leap and you’re willing to be scared for a minute.
And what happens is if you never take that leap, if you never try anything, just kind of like you’re just going through the motions, to me, it never felt like you’re really fully alive, to be honest.
I call it meandering. You’re just kind of meandering, you’re just kind of floating around, figuring out what to do next instead of being fulfilled, like spiritually, emotionally, mentally fulfilled on whatever your path is supposed to do. You’re not learning new perspectives, you’re not learning new skill sets, you’re not learning new mindsets, you’re not — you’re just kind of there.
You’re just kind of there. Now, you said humans don’t like change yet there’s, I don’t know, somewhat of a consensus or somewhat where a lot of people thinking that we’re kind of going through a time of a lot of change. Obviously, we’ve seen a lot of change with traditional religions as well as with technology and spiritual type of stuff. What do you see is happening with regards to any of these practices and where do you see kind of our spiritual lives going over the course of the next decade?
I feel like humans are moving more towards being more individualistic, like figuring out how to define themselves, what their relationships look like, all that stuff, but also it’s so much more of a global economy now than it ever has been so I feel like people are going to start just broadening their horizons. How many podcasts are out there now? There is literally like a podcast on anything and everything, from cats to dogs to fishing to cooking to any theology and ideology you want to name, they’re all out there and I believe that people are just, in general, starting to broaden their horizons and look at new perspectives and learn new things and just figuring out what works for them instead of what has been working in the past, which I think is going to take us on a new trajectory.
Even when we think about like what people consume, like there is this saying that the 2000s — you know, so I believe in this idea of a quarter-century nostalgia cycle and what that means is that at any given time in the recent past, you can always look at nostalgia and the nostalgia always looks to the period of time 25 years before that. So it goes from like Happy Days to The Wonder Years to That ’70s Show to anything now. But that the 2000s is actually going to be the last decade that actually subject itself to this 25-year nostalgia cycle, because the monoculture is going away. So, in any of those categories, That ‘70s Show, in the 70s, everyone was generally listening to the same music, watching the same things and so there’s a 70s culture, there’s an 80s culture and 90s culture, a 2000s culture, but then starting somewhere around there, you end up with not one specific culture. You think of Spotify or Netflix, it’s presenting you the stuff that you want to see as opposed to the top 40 or whatever it is. Do you see anyone having some challenges with these changes?
Yeah, all the people that don’t want to change or that aren’t ready for change are the ones that are dealing with the challenges. I think the ones that are stuck energetically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, those are the people that are not embracing the change. I don’t even know anybody these days that really listens or wants to listen to the news. Everybody screams anymore in order to get away from the news, right? And almost everybody, almost every single person that I’ve spoken to at least over the last year and a half since I’ve been in Denver, and I’ve spoken to people in the Netherlands, in Jamaica, all over the world, and every time I talk to somebody, they’re like, “Have you heard of this person or have you heard of this book?” No, I haven’t heard that person, I haven’t heard of that — like people are broadening, such a global economy now, you got Amazon and KDP and the books and everything that are global and the streaming services that are global and e360tv that’s global, you can get information from anywhere at any time and with, I don’t know, how many people on this planet? Over a trillion?
Seven trillion I think.
There’s no —
Oh, billions, sorry.
Okay, a billion people on this planet, what are the odds that you’re actually going to know at this point, that you’re actually going to know who they’re referring to or, you know, I love the fact that people are constantly giving me new books and giving me new names of people to follow. I can’t keep up with it all but I love the fact that everybody’s got something new and following somebody different and following a different book and just getting out there.
Yeah, I guess the challenge now is like figuring out a way to process through, like exposure to like everyone and everything.
Back to your question earlier, that would be the challenge, is that you have over information. You go to a restaurant and there’s 200 items on the menu, human brains get overstimulated and they can’t make a decision. So with all of this information at hand and so much information at hand, it’s like, okay, now how do you dial it down and get through all the static and disperse and figure out what works for you?
The actual TMI, or what I refer to as this is the real issue with TMI, not what people usually refer to when they say that.
Yes, you can have too much information.
Yeah, and our human capacity to absorb it all. Finally, before we go, if anyone listening wants to get a hold of you, anyone is interested in your services, joining one of your groups or anything like that, what would be the best way?
So my website is tbrspiritualhealth.com or you can reach me on email at wendy@tbrspiritualhealth.com, or you can text or call me at 720-782-6090.
You even got a Colorado area code so you kind of went full in when you moved, which is really good for you. Well, Wendy, thank you so much for joining us today on Action’s Antidotes, telling us all about what we’re observing, how we can all get in better touch and how we can all protect our energy and how our energy relates to all the different components, the physical, the mental, the emotional, I mean, the six that you have on your diagram.
Yes. Well, thank you for having the platform. Thank you for having me as a guest. It was a very interesting and thoughtful conversation.
Well, thank you very much. And I also want to thank everyone out there listening for tuning in to Action’s Antidotes. Hopefully, you’re getting inspiration as well as the ideas on how to enact your vision for life, or if you don’t know what your vision is, how to develop the practices to start figuring out what you were meant to do.
