I'm I'm really excited because you have, I've met you here practicing yoga. You're currently up in Vermont, but I'm really excited for an event that you're holding that I was able to be a part of, called the magnetize your match? Can you tell me, how did this event come to be, and what is your intention and goal for holding this event?

Barbara Magro Berg: 2:30

Right? So the summit is called, magnetize your match. Top secrets every ambitious woman, 40 plus needs to know to attract her soul mate, because that was me. And you know, I really struggled in my soulmate journey in between my divorce from my Australian husband at the age of 35 until I met my soulmate at the age of 57 so dated a lot, but honestly, was very lost and bewildered as to why love was so elusive for me. Considering I was raised in a family where my parents were married for 61 years, my grandparents were both married for over 50 years, there was no divorce in my family.

Todd McLaughlin: 3:21

Yeah, it's a high, high bar to try to live up to, yeah,

Unknown: 3:26

I suppose, yeah, yeah. And just being from a different mindset than than their generation. You know, looking back, they probably compromised a lot more than ever I would, than I would ever be willing to but did have good marriages, you know, all of them, all three of them, my grandparents and my parents anyway. So over the 20 years in between my divorce, like, you know, I did a lot of workshops. There was no life coaches, though, there was no relationship coaches during those days, there was weekend workshops. I did yoga a lot. You know, I've studied yoga since I'm 17. I even became a certified yoga instructor, um Iyengar, the Center for yoga in LA, Oh, wow. And so always met interesting people, always, you know, had a boyfriend. But in my work that I do. My subtitle, I say, you know, I teach you how to not compromise, compromise yourself in order to be loved. And when I finally had that awareness on how much I compromised myself in order to be loved, it was such an awakening. And wow, and so I finally did work with a relationship coach, and we did tapping EFT to remove subconscious limiting beliefs. And I worked with her for 18 months. And during that during that time, Kevin came into my life, and within three months, we were engaged, and within a year, we were. Married, and from the outside, people thought, Oh, that was so quick. But like you with your podcast for years, you know, maybe on the seventh year, all of a sudden, huge success, but it didn't happen quick. It's just that when it becomes public quickly, it looks quick, but what you don't realize is so much work that goes on behind the scenes. There's so much work that comes to the mat, right? We bring ourselves to the mat, and that's where the work really begins. When

Todd McLaughlin: 5:34

did you first hear the word soulmate?

Unknown: 5:37

When did that sort of understand years and years and years ago, and yeah, I guess I was, I've been, always been the kind of person, even though I had a very successful career, traveled a lot, very independent, I always had this imaginary desire that there was a soul mate for me, that there was going to be that, you know, fairy tale, love story, and how it was going to look, but more importantly, how it was going to feel. I mean, I remember when I was a little girl imagining that my soulmate was coming and asking me to marry him, like real fantasy stuff. And my first marriage, I think I tried to fit a square peg into a round hole with that fantasy. And it was a nightmare of a relationship, and I left it after nine months, luckily, um, but it took me 20 years to shift, and obviously that was my path. Yeah, I was supposed to have that time on my own, working on me and and and growing me, you know, yeah, developing all the things that were, you know, I that I was supposed to learn and that I wanted to learn.

Todd McLaughlin: 6:53

How would you define a soul mate in relationship to a great partner.

Unknown: 7:01

So I would say, first of all, I do think that people can have more than one soul mate.

Todd McLaughlin: 7:07

That's I wanted to ask you that question, yeah, yeah, because I Yeah. Maybe, in some cases, someone saying I really want to meet my soul mate. Maybe someone would have an alternate problem. I have so many soul mates. How do I pick which one, right? But I know that's not usually the problem. And the

Unknown: 7:25

thing is, you know, like, maybe people have multiple soul mates, hopefully not at the same time, but throughout their lifetime. And I know that they do, yeah, so I do believe that a soul mate is truly someone that is a fantastic vibrational match with you. It can be a woman, a girlfriend, it could be a sister, it could be a brother, and it could be a lover. So for me, I was looking for that intimate loving relationship with my soulmate. And when I do a comparison of husband number one and husband number two, I could see how I would think that number one initially was my soulmate, because on paper, on the outside, it looked like we had so much in common, but what I discovered was that on the inside we were diametrically opposed, whereas my husband Kevin, on the outside, we have, you know, a Great compatibility, but on the inside, we are just so in alignment in so many ways. I mean, I forget what we were just talking about this morning, and he goes, You know, I really don't like that. I said, Neither do I. And it was something I can't remember what it was, but it was just, you know, sometimes the smallest things. So I just think you're really in sync. Yeah, so, yeah, good answer.

Todd McLaughlin: 8:46

Well, that's cool. And then, what is your intention with holding this online Summit? What like, if you, you know the big dream, what is your you know, if you have a vision for the outcome of this event. What are you envisioning? I mean,

Unknown: 9:02

I really want to have big impact and show women, single women, maybe even single men. But my target really is single women, because that's who I was, ambitious, single women over 40 who have struggled to meet the right partner, but they're successful in their career and they're successful in other areas of their life. I just want to teach them what I learned like no one taught me, and so I made so many mistakes, and there is a science to it, and there is also spiritual principles and and There's also practical exercises that one needs to do to create the space to receive the right partner and be at that vibration. And I was never taught that. You know, I was raised Catholic. Don't have sex before you get married. That's all I learned. They didn't tell me why. Well, guess what? In my Summit, I'm going to tell you why not to not have sex before marriage. But why? Why sex? You need to be very careful with who you bring into your bedroom, and the reason why. So we know we weren't taught we were taught how to drive cars. We were taught how to do geometry and trigonometry, and I don't know about you, but the only thing between those three things that I was taught that has really helped me is driving a car, the trigonometry and the geometry has I've never used it since I took the regions in high school. Yeah.

Todd McLaughlin: 10:29

Good point. Good point. No, me neither. Absolutely not. Well, that's true. I think if I look back on my own life, and I think about like, where did the lessons come in to teach me how to create and or practice healthy relationship. I feel like I have a similar experience to what you mentioned of having long term married parents. You know, I met a lot of people along the way that were, like, shocked that my parents were still together for a long period of time. A lot of people had have grown up in either, you know, broken families or divorced homes or whatever. The terminology would like to use separation for the better or whatever, but I'm

Unknown: 11:09

raised in blended families. That's a whole other new term, right? So the parent remarries, and now they got to get used to new siblings who are half siblings or something, right? Yeah, good

Todd McLaughlin: 11:17

point, yeah. And that's about it. Like I just feel like, okay, here's an example. So I do, I do feel like I learned a lot from watching example, but at the same time, I don't know that it's that simple.

Unknown: 11:32

No, what would you say? Oh, well, you know to thy own self be true, right? That as night shall follow day, according to Shakespeare, you know you need to know who you are, and that's why yoga is such a fabulous practice and way of life, right? I mean, I'm not religious, I'm spiritual, I'm a yogi, right? Because it's like you have to know who you are and what really matters to you and what values you hold to be precious, and just like you're inside, you know your soul, and by having a practice like yoga, just as part of your lifestyle, truly enables you to grow so much so that you can embrace new information around relationships that may have an impact on you, like, what are your patterns? You know? Why do you keep attracting the same people? And you know, some of those things that would not be so evident in your relationship as you witness your parents relationship, but yet it's what you manifest into your relationship. And you know, one of the things that I did learn along the way, I don't know if you remember, Gerald jamposki wrote the book making peace with your parents. That was one of the first books that I read. And I also read loving relationships by Sandra Ray. And Sandra actually is a lifetime friend of mine. And both of those just was like, whoa. So what I started again, all self coaching, is that this relationship, oh, I have difficulty with my mother, and guess what? This person has a lot of the same qualities of my as my mother, or I have this kind of difficulty with my father. My father was a great man. He was a great provider, but he never was verbally expressive of His love and affection towards me. And so guess what? I find men. I attract men who, yeah, I know they like me, but they're not expressive. And as a woman, that dries me out, you know, you gotta water the plant with you. Know I love you. I'm glad I'm with you. Whatever verbal for me. Then I discovered the five languages of love that book so you know to know yourself and like what is so important to you is, I think 75% of it. And then getting to a place where you know you deserve, your worthiness and your deservingness to have that relationship that is quality and supportive. And I always used to put when I would write my list that he always has my back, like no matter what, my partner always has my back. And these are all things that you just learn through life. So my, my, my Summit is really about expediting that process, because I've gathered 22 experts on various topics of love and healing. And, you know, offering so much great wisdom and maybe new ideas for people to embark on in terms of practices that they could do. So that's all I wish I had it when I was I feel like if I had had this information, I would not have had 20 years in between relationships.

Todd McLaughlin: 14:58

Yeah, yeah. Can you remind me the name of your book that you just published?

Unknown: 15:02

It's called The Science of attracting your soulmate. Very cool, four steps to love and happiness with ease. So yeah, so it just came out on Amazon, and I thought doing a summit would be a great way to bring these thought leaders together within this field and utilize it as a book launch for my book, because part of my VIP package is that you would get a digital copy of the first step in my book. So my book is all about what I did over the years to attract my soulmate all the different things, from the inner work to the healing work to the writing and the journaling, as well as the woo, woo stuff, like vision boards, Feng Shui, Moon rituals, all of that. So on the summit, I have somebody who talks about Feng Shui, five things to not put in your bedroom. I was blown away, blown away by what she said. I

Todd McLaughlin: 16:01

know you can't share that here. We'll need to sign up to get the information, but that's pretty classic. What normal things that you would just have in your bedroom? So did you have to clean some stuff

Unknown: 16:11

up corner? Of course, you know, and you know, I would always put two of everything to crystals. I put my my actual vision board that I made for my relationship in the corner, I wrote a soulmate prayer that I would say every night. I put a picture of two lovebirds and all of that. And that's all fine, but what she tells you is, would blow, will blow your mind of what not to put in there. So very cool. My point is that that's kind of like the outside stuff that you could do, yeah, while you're doing your inner work. So my book actually, is actually fun. That's why I said four steps to attracting love and happiness with ease. I should have put and fun exclamation point, because it doesn't have to be hard. The path of self discovery can be really fun, interesting and like, Wow, I love that. Yeah, that's what I want. I want someone who's also into art or, you know, going to nice museums or doing yoga or whatever. So,

Todd McLaughlin: 17:12

yeah, very cool. Well, when you met your husband, did you right away have a thought, could this be? Was it a couple weeks later that it became apparent what was the timeline? Weird

Unknown: 17:30

situation of how it all happened. But yeah, we met online, and he was living his profile said, Florida. So when we when we connected, I was like, Oh, good, Florida, because I had made a rule no more long distance relationships. I want to meet someone in the neighborhood. So his profile said Florida. But when I got on the phone with him, he said he was living in Utah. I'm like, what? I was like, no Utah, Florida anyway, chat, chat, chat. There was definitely a connection. Um, we talked a lot, we wrote a lot of emails, and before I even met him, like it was in January that we met online. And I know this sounds weird, but by February, he was like, professing his love for me on the phone. We hadn't even met yet, which can be a little creepy when you're doing online dating. But I definitely, yeah, like there was so many things, you know. Anyway, we wound up meeting in person in May, and spent a week at Sundance Resort in Utah, you know, Robert Redford's place. And my mother had just passed away April 1. So I was on my way back from a trade show in Vancouver, and I thought, You know what? I think I'm going to go book a cabin in the woods. It would be a good way for him to come and visit me, because I was setting it up. So it wasn't like, oh, I had to go and stay at his house. No, no. Anyway, he did. He picked you up at the airport. We went grocery shopping right away, something we still do together a lot. Was pretty funny, because I had a cabin in the kitchen. We made dinner, and every night he would come up and visit us, visit me, talking, great connection. But as the week went on, I could feel him pulling away all this closeness on the phone, which is very common. I don't know if anyone ever read the book Johnny gray. Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. Yeah. Men are like, rubber bands. They get close, and then they pull away. Well, I could see the rubber band pulling away, and thank God I read the book. I knew what was going on in my past. I would have chased but I didn't. I was like, You know what? I'm just going to do my thing and go my separate way. I wound up believing was nice, meeting you, that was it. Didn't talk for three years. Oh, wow. I was so disappointed. My mother had just died, and I had definitely had strong feelings, but, you know, it just wasn't happening. So I went away sad. I'm never going back to you. Utah ever again. Went back to Florida. He healed myself, got on with my life. Three years later, I'm in Vermont with girlfriends at a reunion from high school. There's like 10 of us, and I get these emails from Kevin Berg, three different email addresses. I've never stopped thinking about you. I've been through a personal transformation in my life. Can we talk? Wow. And I was in a really good place in my life, really good. And I was like, what? Anyway, we wound up talking. And he told me that he had had lashes in front of his eye that week, and he thought he had a brain tumor, and he didn't want to drag me into his health problems. Wow. It turned out he had a carotid artery and he had to have emergency surgery, and they told him, if you live past two maybe three years, you'll be doing good. After three years, great health records. He contacted me,

Todd McLaughlin: 20:57

Wow, that's cool. What a cool story. I didn't realize there was that three year period of getting to know so when you said, initially, we didn't

Unknown: 21:05

talk those three years, but when he did come back, at this point, I was working with my tapping coach, removing my limiting beliefs and and at first I was like, with her. I was like, There's no way. Man, he freaking heard me. There's no way. And she said to me, and this is why coaches, oh, they, I'm serious, can make all the difference. She said to me, I think you should give him a chance. Life is not a straight line. He had to go through his own personal transformation to be ready for you. Your mother had just died. You had to go through your own grieving period. It was the time to meet, but not the time to come together. She said, give him a chance. He had everything that you were looking for. So I did, and here we are celebrating eight years this October of being married, and it's been the best decision I ever made in my

Todd McLaughlin: 21:54

life. Oh, that's amazing. Barbara, congratulations. I mean, I I really love hearing the aspect to that he consciously did what he did because he wanted to be kind to you, and then in your mind, building up all the stuff that we all build up about I was hurt, how dare he or she, or whatever the situation is, and

Unknown: 22:16

old self, old mindset, yeah, that's really fixed mindset. She forced me to go into a growth mindset. Yeah, yeah, very and also, I want to point out to women listening to this is that, you know, that whole dating experience can be really bewildering, but I think that there are still nice men out there. They are gentlemen. I mean, if you ever saw Kevin walked down the street. He's very low key. You know, he doesn't have 20 million friends. He's not the life of the party, but he is. He is a good guy. You know, he's respectful. He was raised really well. He respects women, versus the first husband Australian. You think they respect women. I know we got our shared Australia story, but like he the antithesis of that, compared to my first husband. My first husband hated his mother. Kevin had a respectful, loving relationship with his mother, you know, only spoke highly of her, but he you know, it's not like she had two older brothers. So he was a manly man. Grew up on a farm in Michigan, and he's somebody that truly 2030, years ago, when I was younger, I never would have even imagined being interested in a man like Kevin, way too quiet, not cool. He's cool. He's very cool, actually, but he's like, he's a Midwesterner, yeah,

Todd McLaughlin: 23:44

yeah, I'm from New York. Yeah, understood. And I

Unknown: 23:47

lived in California 11 years, you know, like, beautiful people. So, yeah,

Todd McLaughlin: 23:53

what do you think is the top one or two things you hear from people that you're coaching, that is what they're bumping up with the biggest challenge. Is it that the majority of men that they meet aren't gentlemen? Is it that people aren't wanting to commit to long term happiness? Is it what are the main pain points that you keep hearing the

Unknown: 24:24

Yeah, the number one thing is that finding the quality men, the quality of the men that they want. Like there are a lot of single men out there, but you know, I have one woman who went through my program, and I'm really proud of her, because although she hasn't met her soul mate, she has dated, and after two or three dates, has said, No, thank you. You're not for me. Whereas, in the past, she would have stayed because she didn't want to be alone. But like her, I would say, like she's like the quality of people that she is attracting at the vibration that she is at, right? So that's another thing that you have to get really close. Here on if you're attracting people that you say are not high quality, then you need to up your quality, because it's all about the law of attraction. Mirror, mirror on the wall. There's nobody out there, but you so whatever you complain about that you're not getting, you must become right. And so that's number one. The other thing is, a lot of people will say, Oh, men just want to have sex. And, you know, look, I think women want to have sex too. So it's asking the right questions and siphoning people out. And it's not that you don't want to have sex. You just don't want to have sex right away. You want to just make sure that this is somebody that you are safe with, emotionally and physically, and that they're on the same page as you. So there's always that. And then the other thing is, you'll find a lot of times that, oh, men just don't want to commit. They just don't want to commit and that was one of my big things. But again, I had to ask myself, Where am I not committed to myself? Where am I not committed to my own truth, like I should be saying within a first couple of dates with these people, that I am looking for a long term committed relationship, rather than being so afraid of rejection that I say nothing and then I've I'm wind up being with someone who doesn't want a long term commitment. Yeah, good point. I have to be able to stand up for myself and really ask for what I want or not from you, but to share, in general, I am looking for someone to share my life with a long term committed relationship, and not have any embarrassment about that. And I used to be so embarrassed to say that, like, awful

Todd McLaughlin: 26:51

do, yeah, that's, that's a really good point. I hear you. Do you feel like you need to just practice saying this out loud in front of the mirror. What was your What was your stumble? What was your growth? Point to being able to come out to Kevin and say, I'm gonna vocalize this, you know, you didn't have to. So that was something that you kind of wear, that you need to work on, but it wasn't a major Yeah.

Unknown: 27:16

Okay, so here's another thing. You know, I lived in California for 11 years, like people are single, people are not married for 20 years, right, for the most part. And there's a lot of women who are beautiful and so, you know, there's a lot of men who want to experience the banquet of life. But I never dated anyone, and I this was an interesting thing. Kevin's the first person that I dated my whole entire life whose parents were married for over 50 years. Everybody else parents were divorced. Amazing, right? Yeah, so, uh, right. There he was coming from that stable background, and he was married for 20 years. So I immediately attracted somebody who was used to being married, whereas in California they're used to being single.

Todd McLaughlin: 28:12

But I shifted. I shifted, yeah, I hear ya do you obviously both of us, you and I, remember the time before the internet, before online dating? Where do you stand currently in relationship to coaching your clients on the use of online dating versus you just got to get out there and meet somebody. What are your thoughts? Oh,

Unknown: 28:35

no, my whole program is all about igniting the law of attraction and applying the two most important spiritual principles of the universe. So I really started core. This is my book. Is not a dating book. My book is about personal transformation and to really understand the law of attraction and how it works. So one of the biggest turning points was understanding, did you ever read the book Science of Getting Rich? By Wallace D wattles, well, my book is named after of getting attracting your soulmate, because there's two scientific principles that rule life, and then these are the law of attraction, but they're just set in a different way, and they come from his book. There's one divine intelligence, Formless Substance or thinking stuff from which all things are made. This invisible one divine intelligence, also called Higher Power, invisible energy, or whatever word feels, right, is the ultimate stuff on which all things are creating. Everything starts from Divine invisible energy. This is a scientific principle. Okay, let's just start with that. The reason why this is important a thought in this Formless Substance Produces the thing that is imagined by the thought. In other words, your thought is. The invisible energy becomes physical form. Thoughts become things. There are no good men out there. You're right. We're going to send you some shitty men just to prove you're right. Men just want to have sex. You're right. We're going to send you men who just want to have sex. So the thing is, this is where the work begins. Yes, great point this. We are taught geometry trigonometry, but we are not taught the basic laws of the universe when we're in grade school, and that's where it begins. So by doing that, it doesn't matter if you like online dating or you don't like online dating, if you don't, I have clients who do not want to do online dating, and then I have others who are totally into it. It is the law of attraction. It is a spiritual principle that if you want to attract your soulmate and you do this inner work, and the things that I say because you do have to do daily stuff like daily gratitude, the more grateful we are for what we have, the more grateful things that we want, that we can be grateful for, will come to us. So again, complaining that there is no one in your life just creates more no one in your life.

Todd McLaughlin: 31:17

It's so basic. It's amazing, isn't it? Yeah,

Unknown: 31:20

you know what, if you don't want to do online dating, no problem. I have a friend in New Zealand who wanted to meet her soulmate, and this was before internet dating, but it's a great example. And she, you know, Paramahansa, Yogananda. Yeah, he wrote Autobiography of a Yogi. She was a big devotee of his. And you know, he has a whole area where you can actually join and become a nun with them. Yeah, so she filled out her application and put it on her altar, and she said, Okay, I really want to meet my soulmate and I want to have a family, but if that is not what's right for me, I will go and join the nun. Hurry of this sect, but I'm going to give it two weeks. During that two week period, she was walking down a street in Auckland, and a man comes running up to her, ma'am, ma'am, you dropped your scarf. She turns around. There's this cute guy. Chat, chat, chat, around the same age. Turns out he's a musician. So is she? He invites you to go have coffee. Turns out he's a Paramahansa Yogananda devotee also. And this was 2025, years ago. Um, anyway, he asks her out, yes. So like Sunday, he comes to her house to pick her up. Where were they going to go? And she had just been to a flea market and had bought the top of a sweatpant outfit that was Ty died. So, you know, this was a long time ago, yeah, well, he comes knocking on her door to pick her up wearing the bottom

Todd McLaughlin: 32:48

of the same outfit. Oh, my gosh, that's holding. They got married. They

two kids. They live in Auckland. Oh, that's cool. So the point is that the law of attraction is immutable. It doesn't matter whether it's through match.com or walking down the street. Agree. And thing that I always want to share over and over, especially my evidence of my story, is that your soulmate cannot pass you by. Your soulmate will find you. Steven found Kristen. Kevin found me. Great point. Yeah, yeah. Trust that. You have to have a lot of faith. Yeah, it's interesting

Todd McLaughlin: 33:24

too, because right, when you said, she says, I'm giving it two weeks, I had this thought of, like, Oh, that's not a very long time. Like, like, all right, two weeks, I'm laying it down. But only takes a minute. Girl, that clarity, yeah, that clarity of intent, like, Oh no, I'm I'm saying two weeks. Like, clear, yeah, she had been

Unknown: 33:42

doing her inner work. She was in that place, ready to receive, and she was really clear and what, and she was very committed to

Todd McLaughlin: 34:33

that's cool. Barbara, how would you relate your experience with yoga practice in relation to the work that you're speaking of, and that you coach on how, how important is yoga to your journey and or, do you believe yoga would be a good way or something that somebody could engage with to help the relationship building process or the Soulmate Attraction process? Yeah,

Unknown: 34:58

well, you know, the yoga journey is a journey from inside out and so often in our society, we think, Oh, if I was prettier, or my hair was done, or I, you know, had, you know, Botox, or the right nails or eyelashes, or maybe I had fuller lips. It has nothing to do with that real quality, deep, connected relationships. So yoga is really working who you are from that inside soul level, and it is a great way to manage your stress, because, let's face it, there is a lot of anxiety that goes on when you're dating, and so by having a strong yoga practice, you know, and continuously bringing. It, your problem, your situation, your angst, to the mat and working through it in your by the end of your class, you can actually feel a somatic shift in terms of being bothered by it. You know that guy that you liked didn't call you or just letting it go. So I think it helps in so many ways. It's an inner journey. It's also a great stress reliever, and it's a great way to deeply relax. You know, at the end of shavasana, that's so many times I've had visions of things that I want to manifest. I mean, I remember I was in your class, and I was doing shavasana, and he came to me so casually and easily, ask Todd to be on your podcast. So when you're Yes, after you've done an hour, you know, a good yoga class, hour and a half, and you're in that deep relaxation, you could say, so, you know, show me where, where is my soulmate? Or how do I be my show me the way. Or one of the things that my one of my prayers was, send me my soulmate and make it so obvious that I don't miss the clues, because I would be one for like, missing clues. Yeah, I hear, yeah, that's a good so, I mean, yoga is a life long path every stage of life. I've been doing yoga since I was 17, and it totally has changed my life. I hear

Todd McLaughlin: 37:05

ya got me on my spiritual path? Yeah, I agree. It's so amazing. Well, Barbara, I love being a Yogini. There we go. I know it's funny, I recently heard the pronunciation of a yogini, and I was like, yogini, yeah, I like both Yogini and Yogini. Barbara, I'm curious, can you tell me the details of this free online event that thank you for inviting me and to be a part of. And I'm excited. I This podcast is coming out on Friday 13th, and the whole magnetize your mats match Summit is running from June 9 through the 19th, so at the time, so right in the middle. So that's good, right in the middle. And people can still sign up. I have a link in the description where they just click and it'll take you, take them right to it, and it is free. All you have to do. I signed in there as well and put my email in so I could get all your promotional material to just to see, because I am really impressed with how you've put this together. It's a lot of work what you're doing.

Unknown: 38:06

So you're like producing a Broadway play,

Todd McLaughlin: 38:09

yeah, and you have a background, what remind me what your career back I was in

Unknown: 38:13

media for 40 years. I sold advertising for travel magazines, websites, digital programs. Even created e learning programs for clients. So, yeah, I've always been on the media sales side, whoa, but it was print up until, you know, 1015, years ago, and then got into the digital and within the travel industry, though. So I'm a big traveler.

Todd McLaughlin: 38:33

Very cool. Well, you're doing an amazing job. It's definitely coming together. Can you talk a little about how it all goes down and explain the details. Yeah.

Unknown: 38:42

So it's really, really easy. I mean, first of all, it starts the morning of June 9, so at 9am two interviews will be delivered to your inbox. If you sign up, it is free. Each interview is 30 minutes, so we know that everyone's busy and we're bombarded with so many different distractions. It's available for 24 hours, so you can listen to it while you're driving. You can listen to it while you're going for your daily walk. And then the next morning, the next set of interviews will be delivered into your inbox, so there will be different topics each day, from the law of attraction, like we were just talking about, to, you know, conquering self doubt, the magic of getting aligned and decluttering your life, getting into soul alignment, using EFT and tapping to release grief and to, you know, heal any kind of loss in your life. Because one of the things that we really have discovered, and as the example of the story that I gave you when I first met Kevin and my mother had passed, is that grief can really be a blockage to receiving love, right? And so how to walk through the grief and release it so that you still are open to attracting love, whether it's the loss of a partner or the loss of a child, the loss of a job, right? You know, grief shows up in different ways. So I also have a woman who is a shamanic Soul Retrieval coach, and so she talks about shamanic soul retrieval and extraction, which I didn't know much about at all. And as a yogini, I found it extremely fascinating, cool. And I also have my last two speakers. Well, the first one is on the last day, is a couple who just got married, and they're in. Their 60s, and they're both coaches, transformational coaches, authors, speakers. And met two years ago, three years ago, during COVID. Yeah, end of 20 they met, and he's Australian from Victoria, so a real good variety. And it's just great to hear from men. So I'm glad Todd, that you've joined us. You're speaking about secrets from a man's point of view, which I'm sure a lot of women are going to want to hear. And then my very last speaker is also Australian, and she's an astrologer, tarot card reader, feminine power, intuitive, and she's 20 the 22nd speaker. And I kept saying, I have 21 speakers, but when she came on, she said, Guess what? 20 222, that's the numerology, numerology number for soul mates. Nice.

Todd McLaughlin: 41:31

Yeah, fit together. So you're like, Well, clearly, I'm adding you to the roster.

Unknown: 41:37

So she I said, you're in, you're in. But no, she didn't realize it until the end of our interview. Oh, that's cool. That's quite I was just like, talk about being in alignment. And here's the other thing that's pretty crazy about all this, is that we're going into a new moon pretty soon, which is a Gemini New Moon, and the summit is during the Gemini time period. And then our full moon in June is going to be in Sagittarius. Well, I am a Sagittarius sun sign, Gemini rising, and I'm doing the summit during this new moon of Gemini, which is all about communication and reaching out, and, you know, global impact and all of that. Like, she's telling me all this during our interview, and I'm like, I'm so in alignment. Like, I just picked these dates.

Todd McLaughlin: 42:20

That's amazing. I noticed June. I think it's June 11. Is the full moon? Are we on the same day? I'm pretty sure. I don't know exactly. The reason I bring it up is because my mom, it's my mom's birthday, so I was really excited to see, oh, it's full moon. And okay, anytime a full moon lands, my

Unknown: 42:38

birthday, New Moon stepped out. I mean, the new moon that we're in right now is it Gemini, new moon, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, so pretty exciting. And

Todd McLaughlin: 42:46

then if people are like, Well, I just know there's no way I'm gonna have time to watch 230 minute videos every day. Isn't there, like, a relatively inexpensive way for them,

Unknown: 42:58

VIP package that I'm offering? So if you want to upgrade, you have lifetime access to all 22 interviews, and you can really take your time and listen. I do tell people, you know when you do listen, if you can have a notebook with you and take notes, because there's a lot of valuable information. But if you do want lifetime access, it's $47 for the VIP upgrade. And you also get a two hour attract your soulmate vision board workshop that I'll be leading probably two weeks after the summit, you'll also get a copy of step one, a digital copy of step one of my book, The Science of attracting your soulmate. And I will also send you a attract your soulmate quiz to fill out, and once you fill it out, then we can have a complimentary call to discuss what we have noticed about where you may be stuck in your love life, and how we can help you shift that, and

Todd McLaughlin: 43:47

maybe $47 and if I've already found my soulmate, maybe I want to listen to all the interviews, because I have friends that are seeking, and I'll actually have some good advice for them, versus just me telling them, Come on, just get out there. Right? Meet some people. I mean, as you were explaining some of the details, I was I kind of had that thought, like, I want to hear all this. I want to hear what everyone has to say. I

Unknown: 44:11

mean, it doesn't matter if you're married, you should listen to it too. Because, you know what, in the last few like the ones I did with the couple Nancy and Barry, we talk about how to keep your happily ever after. And I have, in my book and in that interview, through these this communication exercises, the three things to ask your partner every night. So there are ways, like, attracting your soulmate is one thing, but keeping a happy, flourishing marriage is another, yes. But I can assure you, Todd, and I know that you would vouch for this if you do your inner work and you truly marry a partner who is so aligned with you and compliments you, values, long term goals, lifestyle that is 90% of the work, so that the communication and the years together are actually easier, and maybe you just need to learn some good communication skills and exercises and then practice this one exercise that I tell you to stay connected. Because even if you did this communication exercise, like with my first husband, like, first of all, he'd be like, I don't want to do stuff like that. It's ridiculous as an example. But even if you did do it, it wouldn't really repair the in the the the underlining incompatibilities that you cannot change. Yes, that are core core we're talking core level stuff, impossible to change

Todd McLaughlin: 45:49

or shift. I hear you well said,

Unknown: 45:51

but you just gotta Yeah, that's why, oh, I want I. One of my taglines is, I save you years of unhappiness and struggling. I save you years. A little

Todd McLaughlin: 46:04

bit of coaching goes a long way. You know, getting some ideas and having some insight from outside our own little perspective, it can help big time, right?

Unknown: 46:12

Like my coach, if she hadn't told me what she did, I I probably would have told Kevin. Now you heard me,

Todd McLaughlin: 46:21

good point, and you and I would not be here now, rather

Unknown: 46:26

than me taking responsibility and saying, You know what? I guess if he's telling me, it's this isn't the right time for him, maybe it's not the right time for me either. You know? Yeah, so which is what happened. So I'm grateful I had that coach.

Todd McLaughlin: 46:39
