put your dream catherine we'd love for you to share your dream for your life with us my dream i had a dream i followed it for a few years i stopped for about five years and have a renewed sense of purpose so my dream is to be the most well known well respected in demand female stage hypnotist on the east coast so i did it several years ago i stopped and i've just gone through a huge transformation in my life the past couple years just yesterday i was able to come to a very firm decision about the pot time to take from no one i've not  for eighteen months so so yesterday became clear i'm changing where i live and again i'm changing the direction focus and purpose of the hypnosis work that i do i'm i mean i have a private practice in central mess i'm moving back to the so sure which means rebuilding all over again and so i thought why not just rebuild in a way that i had targeted a few years ago put my energy there so stage hypnosis so can you share with us how you gain that clarity well it's been a process it's been a process of as a hypnotist doing a lot of inner inner self work inner searching for inner guidance culminating today with this incredible xo where we are with women and i understand it's the we said a celebration of the moon in scorpio and i don't know enough about it but it's a powerful day it made so much sense to me it's like all this stuff is happening right now of course it's happening so to not have had clarity of purpose for the past eighteen months has been a real challenge and to now have that clarity of purpose to know the steps to take in the direction in which i wish to go it's just very freeing and very i'm very happy so what's your next step i need to find a place to live in the social first but again this is only been in the past twenty four thirty hours that this this decision has come so find a place to live  then make all the contacts again with different venues different organizations different corporations who

kathy burke at the love light and laughter again and kathy's going to share with us how she's dared to dream and her life welcome kathy thank you for instance yes so tell us about how you have dared to change your life and live your dreams well for many years i just felt you know compelled to work with spirit and actually in one nine hundred ninety five i started my dream  and kind of happened in an odd way it was the after the passing of my father and he brought me the gift of in jealous channeling as i saw him carried up by two angels the night he died and that's when my book came from america michael surrounded by and after that i just i was felt compelled i had to work with spirit and i kept building building the report with spirit they kept coming to me i'm a medium i've written a book i've got a cd and i just keep listening and the dream keeps growing and i just feel very blessed to be able to do this work and spread it out into the world with and help people so happy what were you doing before i was administrative assistant secretary a whip she no i don't put that down in any way but i always knew there was something more and i felt very empty until now i mean i feel totally fulfilled with one i'm joyous in what i'm doing you know wonderful all that so wonderful and tell us about  doubts or fears that you had as you made that transition and how you overcame them well a big part of it is security you know when you have a job job you get a paycheck you get insurance you know you you feel if you're out of work sick you get paid  in the work that i do you know i carry it all pretty much the angels help me spirit helps me but you know you have to forge through those fears about what if what if i get sick what if you know i don't have enough money to cover my health insurance what if so those are the things the fear is that i've had a breakthrough and how are you able to to break through them without trust and faith i mean you know you have to believe in you have to think about how you want to create things i'm a big believer in creating what you that you can create what you want thinking positive attitude and faith yeah call the truth so what if i see you have for other women who may be struggling to figure out what they want to do with their lives where they may feel stuck in their current situation what it feisty you have to help them move forward well and one of the things i do is i counsel people with the angels and a lot of women do come with those kind questions and what i say is sit down write out a scenario is if you are ready have it what you want the type of work maybe you want to do the outcome what is going to look like what kind of you know pay is going to come to and you doing this and what happens is you can create it i believe in that i believe that you can create what you put out there and if you cook good things so they're going to come back so i i tell people lulu to time to start to look at what you want write it up as if you already have it say it every day and it'll start to flow towards you that's wonderful advice so i have to ask you so you can put it out there what your next dream well i just i'm going to have my own radio show that's  start in may it'll be once a month but it's going to be a show all in angels and so that and one of my dreams is to be a talk show host so that's one of my dreams and i'm writing another book and that's another dream  i'm starting to me an officious so how can people find your radio show i'm going to be on w a t d it's ninety five point nine every third sunday starting in may at seven thirty one called the crystal clear angel connection oh i love that i love that see what happens best block when the radio show in the talk show host you know that you can do whatever you put your mind today to yeah and like to be on oprah someday when we are absolutely open are you if you're listening to this we're ready to be your next guest really like to meet her yes i think she's a powerful and magnificent woman i agree i agree with everybody yeah yeah well thank you thank you for s so we're here with nancy campbell at the love light and laughter advantage and would love to find out what nancy's dream as nancy do you have a dream for your life i do have a dream for my life and i have a dream for the lives of lots of women and lots of people and so part of my personal dream is to really move my energy work practice into a place of letting the guiding principle be all about love i'm a psychotherapist and  reiki practitioners well and i do energy work but my prayer was always on my affirmation is that everything is guided by love and i have a vision and i hope that there be in mental health can really merge more with spiritual health that they're not separate from one another anymore with you know spiritual issues being over here or mental health issues being over because they're really one of the same and for me i really think it's about love and about honoring our self part of my vision of my dream is to come together and just have circles to do with love and owning up how are part of my dream is about having sounding circles another part is about to just have places where people can go when they're sad it doesn't have to be with an appointment it doesn't have to be with something specific like just little healing centers that people can just go sit and cry i was at a women's workshop in new york a few years back put on by omega and they had the red tent and that was that vision they recreated the red tent so you walked inside this massive beautiful red tent with exquisite music and candles and boulders and kuan yin and they would just be women there who would tend to people so people could lay down and someone would brush their here people could lay on beautiful red velvet pillows and if somebody started to cry women would just come over to them and suv them and rock foam and sometimes that's what we need only we don't have a place to go right and we have very little outlets often to get that for ourselves because we give that out so much to others right right exactly exactly so if we had little places of healing and maybe they were just attached to offices maybe there was an extra room where you know you could just go sit without an appointment and you could hear tony maybe your hair singing i just have an experience to see what ricky feels like  little a little energy work a place where everything it doesn't have to be so differentiated where everything merges together a little bit more and if we can do that i think they'll be more peace more love and we can really help shift into those other dimension are more about love and light so what do you think what are some next steps that you or anyone could take to help make that dream come true well i guess i'm beginning to think no saying to help make it come true i'm thinking oh can i begin to do something more in my own office to just say instead of holding it as a vision that might happen somewhere what can i do you know how could i begin to make that more real  or i would have to check with my office mates but maybe you know have a specific time where maybe something like that could happen or maybe just more workshops that are introductory about toning and loving and how to merge things together so people don't feel like they know go see this therapist and do all these different appointments just kind of come in open nights maybe open nights i love that idea i think that's a wonderful next step yeah i have one other thing that came to mind that i think would be really healing to do my daughter had an eating disorder and she has come through it quite lovely she's on the other side and she's a healer herself now she's a massage therapist and a yoga teacher and she's quite wise she's a lot wiser in many ways than i am and she and i've been talking about writing a book and so whether we would call right or perhaps she would write a book from her perspective and i would write one from my perspective and part of what i found the most beneficial when she was going through that is for me to really embrace healing modalities myself because when i was at my most confused her darkest time where read about her the traditional things didn't help they they didn't really help her and they didn't help me as her mother and i felt i wanted to bump out to another level of openness and when this because i really needed to increase my healing to create a space so she could heal so rather than trying to fix her i was trying to learn how to fix myself so i guess i owe part of my vision is also to do some spiritual days for moms of kids with eating disorders oh i love that i'd that's definitely needed so what advice do you have for women who may feel stuck in their lives  may feel like they have a dream but it's just impossible and they couldn't possibly make it come true what it feisty you have to help them move forward if we could spend ten minutes a day just in a little bit of silence it could be at the kitchen table it could be in the living room just with some silence and it may not be an actual meditation practice but just looking out the window like we did when we were little and not just allowing allowing the shoulders to relax and just being in their body and thinking about it thinking about maybe that's really possible and not even having to have a plan but just really begin to feel it and then to begin to breathe it into divine guidance and to ask the angels to help them and then to maybe water it a little bit by getting a notebook and doing some writing and just whenever a little thought and it's just for them you know it's not for their kids it's not for others it's not a diary it's sort of the vision book and then to come to workshops like this because things really get wadded and feel like they see it and they just resonate and to believe it's true and to believe it's true that such wonderful advice and i know it's going to inspire anyone who's watching thank you so much for sharing with us nancy thank you we're here with courtney walsh author of lipstick and thongs in the loony bin and courtney's new book was published recently and she's going to tell us about how she has dared to dream and is now living her dreams hi courtney thanks for joining us susie it's great to be here thank you yes i have dared to dream i have to say about a year ago when i came to the first of lovelight laughter event sponsored by aspire magazine i was in a group and i was dreaming about writing a book i had written most of it and it's basically it goes kind of back to four years ago when i tried to go home meaning i tried to check out of planet earth and it wasn't my time yet and it isn't my time yet so i think a lot of people can relate to a feeling of absolute rock bottom yeah and now i say i've gone from rock bottom to rock on and part of that was writing the book and part of the journey and the catharsis and the healing with humor so in my recovery phase i looked all around for books that had hope healing and humor about a subject that matter or frankly that has a lot of taboo in stigma around people don't even like to say the word suicide there  so and so it's been guided every step of the way and it's been a wonderful process and i'm now getting out there and talking to high schools colleges treatment centers psychotherapists like a psychologist and i really believe that this message is it's a box is opened and people are talking about it and i'm getting a lot of me to write me to i really have to talk or my cousin or my uncle and my brother it's very healing process for people to just open their hearts and their miles and open their minds to the pa civilities that can come after rock bottom and that you can get back on your feet and get your wings going right and start to fly so so for anyone watching who might be dealing with a similar situation and feeling like they're  rock bottom right what it vice do you have for them read the book well and put a little plug in for the web at their website is w w w dot lipstick and following book dot com or you can just google lipstick and bones and it comes up with all the time that it's great i would say that you have to get a good talk therapist that's that's crucial you have to attend to mind body and spirit you know some people do a little bit of each and they don't realize the formula and the tool kit has to include bits and pieces of all of the above exercises incredible meds for some people is a good route for me it wasn't but i have no judgement about that and i think it's compassion for self and others getting outside of your own you know i'm open now to the guidance i receive and the messages and i'm hoping to just give that back and how did you get to that point i mean what helped to open up and receive guidance well i had a wonderful therapist he was like a river guide and i like to say that he was not just sort of standing on the shores he was in the boat with me and we were navigating the same rapids but from different perspectives so he was very helpful in getting me to think in new ways and then all those other things i just mentioned were helpful in turning the corner but i will say there was one turning point for me and it was my friend mara who was diagnosed with terminal cancer stage four at age thirty three which does not happen they don't even do colonoscopies for people under fifty she'd been a teacher and she had her summers off and she went down somewhere in south america somewhere exotic and thought she could pick up a parasite so for a long time it went undetected and missed and she was starting to waste away in front of me so as she's losing her life i'm regaining my will to live and it was this beautiful symbiosis was like a sister to me at the time and very inspiring in her she fought to the last breath and you can't then not see the beauty of life in being here until your last breath and you can't shorten it you can't fundraising piece and getting the word out to big organizations have done some things for the samaritans and some you know big big mental illness organizations i do say mental wellness not mental illness it's time for that to change to where we languag g and i believe just getting a big pink bus and going through all the states of mind and having t shirts to think safe on task and going to the colleges and making it like a rock star tour for mental illness with all of the tools and tricks and talks and just pulling all the pieces together to bring it on the road and bring it out in a big because i've already got people from all over the country and all over the world writing me saying thank you for the story thank you for sharing it thank you for being brave and to me it's not about thank you it's about i got tapped on the shoulder i'm showing up yeah your story and i look forward to hearing all about the looney tunes yeah that's true that's true thank you so much and best of luck to you
