people welcome to the dr joy show your prescription for total wellness and i'm your host dr joy but you already knew that because you've been watching me forever right today we have a special guest she's going to rock it out on  joy show but before we get started you know what we do we always take three deep breaths are you ready inhale exhale christine miss keenness i will like to welcome you to the dr joy show and you are going to rock it out but a little bit about you so for the viewers so you are a fan in the power approach who focuses on teaching women how to tune into their inner voice to express their authentic voice in their lives so all you all need to take notes here she is also the owner and founder of a rock it out  welcome to the dr joy show so tell me about your story how did you come to this point thank you dr joy it started when i was in my twenty's and i was looking to define myself as a woman so i was looking to check off all the boxes make sure i had the education and you know i was looking at you know making sure that you can date and see who was out there and get married have children it's like i had this idea of all these things i needed to do and when we did that idea come from well that's a great question that comes from your upbringing it comes from societal pressures you know and especially when you have the university and getting your degrees and working and being fit and and all of these other things and so i was really running myself trying to fit into a box trying to climb the ladder of success where i don't even know the ladder when to go and get there right and you know when i was born i had a lot of  issues so that's why when you invited me to be here speak about health that was the gateway into everything in my life so i was a colic a baby and then i always had trouble digesting i had irritable bowel syndrome when acid refl so i didn't really know how to deal with that because i was this type a go getter rocking it out kind of personality and then i found myself in the doctor's office at twenty four and he literally told me that i had a disease that was pre cancerous called barrett's esophagus disease right in the throat and at that time people that had that were eighty and above and here i was in my twenty's life expectancy much different and they didn't know what to do mean i have that too and they prescribe o'meara's all for you don't take that anymore i just figured out what my triggers were and i was like ok i'm going to stop doing this and this and that was the end of that so but your physician said to you keep taking your medicine until it becomes cancer i'm leaning in here well he said well i've been i know exactly there wasn't anything at the time over fifteen years fifteen sixteen years ago they just didn't know what to do other than there was no precursor you know like what do you do before something becomes cancerous it was take your prescribed medication and then wait to help yourself  so that was the thing and honestly in that moment i was teaching in public schools at the time and i saw women who had breast cancer and they weren't surviving this is like fifteen years ago so when he gave me that diagnos literally everything went quiet it with this was like my do or die moment i felt my soul from inside of me like a hand filling out a glove and i heard my inner voice say go off and allow your body to heal all is well and it was my voice sounding like a voice of god speaking to me so profoundly and i just felt this calm come over me and i said ok i can do this but you know the body heals itself right well at the time i did not because a twenty something year old in my time i didn't know when i heard that i i trusted that you know my body is going to heal everything's going to be ok and shortly thereafter i was introduced to a holistic nutritionist yeah and in a matter of months which just you know probiotics cleaning up my diet really you know drinking a lot of water getting rid of all of the triggers you said and all the processed foods eating organic she was seeing at the time everybody thought i was crazy right now we've come a long way and everybody seems to be doing this for their health right and so healing i went back to the doctor he's like is amazing your body is healing their scar tissue there's no more growth and i said great let me tell you what i've been doing and he's like have you been taking the medicine and uses no cells it wasn't working and so he said i can't treat you christine i mean this is why we go to medical school we learned how to give these prescriptions and yet it wasn't helping me and we bumped up against that and so i had respect for the doctor at that time because he was doing what he knew to do right it wasn't working for me and i found my own way you said  is good for you good for you you have a quote i am responsible for my life mind you know you said body mind and spirit so tell me a little bit about your healing journey i mean so you figured it out and then what well it's why i take a stand for the voice ok because i see the voice is this bridge of your inner connection and your outer expression and so my healing came seriously when i being your own inner authority when you have this inner guidance because the world is very noisy right we're always inundated with these messages do this take this this pill that thing and i was seriously help me fix me save me something something and consuming and consuming and consuming so the message was go off allow your body to heal like get out of this thing that you're on the hamster wheel so how long were you a teacher i was teaching for probably six years at the time and what grade are all different grades so yeah second grade third grade fourth grade fifth grade sixth grade mainly fifth and sixth ok so you walked away from teaching to do rock you know woman good question yeah right like good cause th transition so we grew you know i grew up thinking that i needed to have stability and for me that look like having the stable job you know it's all the question a thing that all of this but when i was ignited in this way and i was able to heal myself i started looking at our children because they were right in front of me every day right and i saw him on more and more coming in with disorders and a lot of issues that i could then support them with because i went back to school i studied nutrition myself just for you and i wanted to continue my i was so ignited in the truth that i have the power right to seriously take care of this vessel right and my mind like nutrition was the gateway because suddenly all that like i thought i was italian and spicy  that cleared out of my body and my disposition changed and i was no longer this fiery hot tempered being you know who was so feisty all the time i still have it y but it doesn't rule me anymore you know and so that was a big piece of that was this calm sitting and then looking around at the children and then looking at the mothers and saying hey do you know about the dyes and the food and the pesticides and this and did they listen to you need listen to me so you started a movement girlfriend with and with you with your children and their parents right so what's the number one boy do you think we have in our world today well it's exactly that you know growing up in a society living in this meaning always knew the voices voices that tell you what you're supposed to do and how you supposed to think and how you're supposed to spend your money and when you supposed to go on vacation where he is supposed to go is like shut up already i don't want to hear it i'm going to stay in my own lane and i'm going to do what i want to do right from god and you say the you've been rocking it out it's not going it's like being in the car putting that music on and just owe so tell me about no well i had to say no to everything i was participating in i had to step outside of the institutions and everything that was ready systemized and the void that i saw i kept saying as i had my own children i went on you know i got married i had been these and i was like we have it wrong like what's going on here way way wait wait so twenty for you you were diagnosed with something and then you fixed yourself then you got married and you told your husband that what you were doing was wrong no well what i did was i took a stand oh yeah so i said no to things like vaccines i said oh do things like the educational system i said no to working myself there and stepping out so it was a natural evolution of listening to my own inner voice right when i felt that i'm no longer called to be here now i meant to share something in this way and with the internet it was so easy i was literally breastfeeding my babies and coaching my clients making money running a business hello tell us about the woman rocking it out so simplistically with the reach of international clients and then like this is fun i like that we could do this so you your focus is on powering empowering women why women and men so it's probably my own upbringing and being around such strong powerful women but i will say this in every space i found myself in and i looked out it was like where is the women's voices where are the voices of women and mothers and grandmothers and sisters we wouldn't do things this way and if you're in working within those structures and dynamics you know because you're saying this doesn't work oh it's great on paper but it doesn't work great running the course doing the shots here not women where is the woman's voice that's the void that i'm looking to fill by assisting women and speaking up and getting their voices out into our communities and into transforming our world so my viewers all watching this men and women and some a lot of what you're saying is probably resonating with at least one or two people maybe more than that probably more than that what advice do you for a woman that wants to find her voice and iraq it out yes absolutely it's knowing yourself and becoming your own authority and it's looking around at your life and if it doesn't work for you then saying no to that well i mean no to that no actually no to that i mean no to that and it sounds like foundries it sounds like self love and self worth because you know i believe the woman is the spiritual leader of her household so she is like the whole unit and then everything branches out because the man they want to support they want to assist they want to protect and the woman is there like orchestrating everything the traditions the custom the foods that hildreth everything everything stickily we do we have the most purchasing power whether that we're the ones making the money or not right when we make the decision we make the decisions and the men love and they also support us in that space right not this whole feminist me against you women against men no it's actually a unity that has been missing it's been the men out there doing the things in the women kind of trying to figure out our place right what's a good woman what's a good wife what is a good daughter you know and the good stuff is gone and it's just what is who are you starting your home look around and start creating your own unique life well why now christina why now i don't have that has been on my heart for five years i don't like everyone's catching up so we look at politics we look out at our world we look at our children we look at all the statistics of suicide and obesity and cancers and we have to as mothers scratching our heads and saying how is this happening in my home right right i don't get on with this this is not how it worked right and so now we're looking out at a greatly dissatisfied world yet we're living in but we are the women we are the ones to start igniting the compassion the love the healing though is that how we make a world a better place absolute but i by women finding their voice and using their voice to communicate authentic because if we have to make sure that we have ourselves straight before we can help everybody else and you cannot give to others what you don't give to yourself first that mama's yeah yeah so rock it our woman coaching  i mean i've been on her i don't know if i want you to talk about that well you know having your voice in a really powerful place means also having your body which is your vessels now with a new mission comes in the wellness taking care of yourself and tuning in which i love that you start your show it's like yeah oh yeah we're all tune in because we're all so disconnected and that's not a woman rocking it out in order to hear your voice and hear your inner guidance system you need to go quiet you need to tune in you need to sit and so we crash so we need to be quiet you mean meditation like quiet or no reason quiet what do you how do you define quiet all of that works i like to ask questions of my guidance system and i like  muscle being flexed ok that means i need to close my eyes and sit in silence for three to five minutes every day and say how can i best serve my people today and i might get something you know call this one look at the paper whatever it is that's our intuition that's our inner voice in our connection the cry from the divine god right and then we express it out ok which is the action that needs to happen so if a woman's once they've seen this broadcast they checked you out which we'll talk about how we can get in touch with you and they want to start what kinds of things could they expect from your coaching session years because all the other distractions are like covering things up things have to fall away and when that happens it's really a wake up call as well as confronting those things so this is why coaching is such an amazing dynamic you know you're working privately you're sharing all of these things happening in your world in your life because there is not one size fits all kind of a thing no you can read the book and try to implement it people would come up to me and say oh i want to be just like you and i would say to them how about being the best you can for you because it's only it's only one you like there's only one dr joy is only one christine rock it out so everybody has their own and they need to they need to own their own space embrace it be us centric and share right isn't that katie that's the key so you do group culturing or individual coaching both oh you do both ok so i i was privy to one other thing about you too about the rock it out new york city event and you head of fabulous fabulous i literally picked up the phone got on the phone called her called her people and shared my experiences shared my mission and she could get on board with that i shared my voice so authentically that she was like what you have women that want to get out their voices out into the world into our world right now i'm going to stand there i will have these women ignited i mean she was so excited so it's bringing people into your world which again is not easy because it's  vulnerable and you have to be want to be visible and vocal right because then comes the negotiations of all of this as a feel good where can we meet in the middle right and so a woman's greatest power is sharing her voice the men are the ones doing all the physical stuff we get to just sit back and speak our truth and make magic hats how many people were at that event so there were one hundred participants and i think there were like ten or twelve speakers wow wow special in christine's going to do but let's talk about your message first i would tell the viewers really get honest with yourself and get quiet unplug from at all these distractions sit with yourself and start speaking or journaling start getting connected to your voice and your truth what matters to you what do you take a stand for if it was your last day on earth and you came out onto a balcony to tell everybody to impart your wisdom on the people of the world ok because you're not going to be here anymore what is it that you would want us to know who that deep question you have me thinking i'll think about then i'll get back to you yeah i know it's a go it's it's profound and so that's what women can get behind now you take that message and you share it and you step on stage is where you come on t v shows right and everyone's like yes yes yes and this is how we ignite the movement of women rocking look at her mike guys everybody should have a mike like that oh wow wants one right yeah lovely voice lovely message in the song how can a viewer is contact you so go over to rock it out woman w o m a
