Speaker 1: human that I have in front of me. His name
Speaker 1: is Quasi Millington and he's a former RCMP police officer
Speaker 1: who has overcome some struggles professionally as well as personally,
Speaker 1: dealing with mental challenges such as PDSD and depression. He
Speaker 1: is now traveling internationally. Yes, I've been following him as
Speaker 1: a professional speaker and a coach, and he's teaching young
Speaker 1: people and high stress organizations how to avoid burnout and
Speaker 1: also build mental health and cultivate, cultivate resilience and in
Speaker 1: their lives. So welcome, and I'm so excited to have
Speaker 1: you here.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me, really appreciate it, honored,
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Now, you have a very interesting story, and I know
Speaker 1: that you've been sharing.
Speaker 3: Your story all over the globe.
Speaker 1: Mostly in the US. I've noticed California was the most recent.
Speaker 1: And if you wouldn't mind just like diving in right away,
Speaker 1: how your life just basically took a turn while being
Speaker 1: an RCMP officer.
Speaker 3: Do you do you want to start there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, we'll start. We'll start right into it. That
Speaker 2: that sounds good to.
Speaker 1: Me, like before all this happened, right, do you want
Speaker 1: to walk us through the moment that your life changed forever?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I can do that. I can definitely do that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, first of all, as you mentioned, my background
Speaker 2: is in policing. I never thought I was going to
Speaker 2: be a police officer. It wasn't one of those things
Speaker 2: that I dreamed, this is what I'm gonna do for
Speaker 2: the rest of my life. You know of those stories
Speaker 2: of the five year old kid that's like, I'm going
Speaker 2: to be a police officer. That wasn't me. It was
Speaker 2: on a way and I became an office at twenty
Speaker 2: eight years old, and I thought after starting that that
Speaker 2: is what I'm going to do for the rest of
Speaker 2: my professional life. Twenty five years. I had to plan down.
Speaker 2: I knew where I was going to go. About two
Speaker 2: years in I was transferred from Richmond, British Columbia, so
Speaker 2: I started with the RCMP across the country. I live
Speaker 2: in Toronto, but I was transferred to Richmond, just outside Vancouver,
Speaker 2: and a couple of years in I was transferred to
Speaker 2: Vancouver Airport and one night on a shift, I get
Speaker 2: a call and the call comes in. It's about one
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning. There's a man who's breaking airport property,
Speaker 2: destroying computers and needs to be apprehended. Basically, so myself
Speaker 2: and three other officers we head up to the international
Speaker 2: arrivals area and we see him standing there and as
Speaker 2: I approach him, a couple of things I noticed. Number one,
Speaker 2: I noticed that there was stuff thrown around, so definitely
Speaker 2: he's the guy that they had called Aim. And as
Speaker 2: I approached him, I hear someone say, I don't know
Speaker 2: who it was. He doesn't speak English, and for some
Speaker 2: reason I heard that, and we've all met people that
Speaker 2: don't speak our language before. So I try to communicate
Speaker 2: with him basically using universal hand signals, you know, like
Speaker 2: opening a book and mime passport, all things that I
Speaker 2: think anybody, no matter if they understand English or not,
Speaker 2: are going to understand. And I think, Okay, he's gonna
Speaker 2: grab his paperwork, we're going to figure this out and
Speaker 2: that'll be the end of it. But he instead turns
Speaker 2: around and he grabs what we call him policing weapon
Speaker 2: of opportunity. He just picked up a stapler, fist in
Speaker 2: one hand, fist in the other, and we're going to
Speaker 2: fight to get him under arrest, and physical altercations or
Speaker 2: fighting is nothing new to police officers, so we unfortunately
Speaker 2: had to get him under arrest. Part of that was
Speaker 2: I used a taser on him. We got him down,
Speaker 2: got handcuffs on him, got him under control. So far,
Speaker 2: it's like other calls. I've dealt with you. You get
Speaker 2: physical with someone and you get under arrest and you
Speaker 2: figure things out. Unfortunately, everything changed. A couple minutes after
Speaker 2: we got him under arrest. I hear my partner on
Speaker 2: the radio say, he's turning blue. We need MS, we
Speaker 2: need ambulance, we need people to attend to him right away.
Speaker 2: Ambulance arrives, EHS paramedics fire and they start working on him.
Speaker 2: And when I say working on him, they are checking
Speaker 2: for vitals. See the defibrillator come out. And a few
Speaker 2: minutes later, I hear the three words no officer ever
Speaker 2: wants to hear time of death in that moment. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: he died of heart failure after arrest. Now, there were
Speaker 2: things that were going on that I didn't understand before
Speaker 2: dealing with him. I didn't know that he was exhibiting
Speaker 2: what's called excited delirium. It's a condition where your heart
Speaker 2: rate is elevated and there's things going on inside of
Speaker 2: you that can compromise your heart when someone arrests you.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that he had a weekend heart. I
Speaker 2: didn't know he had some other conditions going on, and
Speaker 2: unfortunately he died. Now there was a guy recording the
Speaker 2: incident the whole time. He was on the public side
Speaker 2: of the airpork. He recorded the whole incident. He eventually
Speaker 2: sold his footage to every new station he could get
Speaker 2: paid by, and it ended up blasted all over the country.
Speaker 2: And at the time it didn't matter to me because
Speaker 2: I gave statements. I was told internally, hey, listen, you
Speaker 2: did what you were trained to do. And you know,
Speaker 2: sometimes you do the right thing and things go wrong.
Speaker 2: That's what happens. I was cleared of any wrongdoing by
Speaker 2: not only our police force, but other police force looked
Speaker 2: at it. Lawyers in British Columbia looked at it. So
Speaker 2: I figured, you know what, I'm going back to work.
Speaker 2: So I do. I go back to work. And a
Speaker 2: couple of years later, two years.
Speaker 3: Now, after two years, after two.
Speaker 2: Years after, I have to testify as to what I
Speaker 2: did that night. And Helen, I always say this, if
Speaker 2: someone asked you for all the details of something you
Speaker 2: did two years ago, would you forget some things?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now you wouldn't forget the major details.
Speaker 2: I didn't forget that I went in there. I didn't
Speaker 2: forget that I tasted them but little things that I made,
Speaker 2: mistakes on, little discrepancies that were accidental that I made
Speaker 2: in my statements when I testified. Those were called deliberate lies. Right,
Speaker 2: So I was accused of lying deliberately to cover up
Speaker 2: what happened. There's no reason that I would have done that.
Speaker 2: Like I said before, I was cleared of doing anything wrong.
Speaker 2: I was told that I did everything right. I was
Speaker 2: back to work. I just figured I'm going to go
Speaker 2: testify at this inquiry, do the best. I can't go
Speaker 2: back to work. I figure it's done. I go home
Speaker 2: from testifying after three days, and I'm at home a
Speaker 2: few months later and I go check the mailbox. There's
Speaker 2: a letter waiting for me, and the letter says, Quacy Millington,
Speaker 2: You've been charged with perjury. So I was charged criminally,
Speaker 2: not for anything I did at the airportsury, but for
Speaker 2: lying about what I said I did at the airport,
Speaker 2: even though those were accidental mistakes. So I hope we're
Speaker 2: following the timeline here, because it can get a little confusing.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you go to the incident, you testify about it,
Speaker 2: you're charged with lying about what you say happened. I've
Speaker 2: never lied, but I was still charged with perjury. A
Speaker 2: judge saw it differently. He convicted me and sentenced me
Speaker 2: to two and a half years in prison.
Speaker 3: Two and a half and a.
Speaker 2: Half years in prison in Canada, you have to serve
Speaker 2: a third of your sentence, no matter if your good
Speaker 2: behavior or not, so two and a half years equates
Speaker 2: to thirty months. I eventually spent ten months in the
Speaker 2: Canadian correctional system and I lost my career. So my
Speaker 2: career ended. I still remember the date, December twelfth, twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: That was the day that I got my paperwork saying
Speaker 2: that I was discharged aka fired from the RCMP. So
Speaker 2: that was twenty seventeen, and since then I've been kind
Speaker 2: of figuring out what's next in life. And yeah, that's
Speaker 2: my background, that's what I used to do. Now I
Speaker 2: have trying to use that going forward to make more
Speaker 2: of a positive impact with what I've learned, what I've
Speaker 2: gone through to help other people.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I haven't heard This is
Speaker 1: the first time i've heard your full story about that,
Speaker 1: So thank you again for sharing that. Yeah, but and
Speaker 1: how was it for you like when everything was stripped away,
Speaker 1: Like that's your career, that's your identity. Like what was
Speaker 1: what was your hardest part through that whole process? Like,
Speaker 1: once you've served your sentence, where did you move?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: How did you move forward from that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I mean there's how did I move forward?
Speaker 2: What was the hardest part? Like if I think of
Speaker 2: those questions kind of separately, that I guess the hardest
Speaker 2: part You mentioned identity. Yeah, as in policing, it's I
Speaker 2: think a little bit different than a lot of other careers.
Speaker 2: You do wrap your identity up in what you do
Speaker 2: as a first responder, right, police, fire, certain other careers
Speaker 2: as well, And so I was a police officer, right,
Speaker 2: So it was almost like there was Quacy the police officer.
Speaker 2: I kind of wrapped myself up into that. So the
Speaker 2: hardest part was trying to figure out who am I
Speaker 2: outside of that, And that was a challenge for me.
Speaker 2: And I remember I was in when I was inside.
Speaker 2: If you will, everybody has to get a job, and
Speaker 2: my job ended up being as a prison tutor. So
Speaker 2: I went to the school and I was an English tutor.
Speaker 2: I helped some So I worked in the school and
Speaker 2: some of the inmates in there you can get your
Speaker 2: high school diploma when you're in prison. So a lot
Speaker 2: of guys, they say about seventy to eighty percent of
Speaker 2: prison inmates in Canada don't have a high school diploma.
Speaker 2: I do. So I ended up tutoring a lot of
Speaker 2: the guys that helped some of them write their pro
Speaker 2: board letters. And by the time I walked out of
Speaker 2: those prison doors, that helped about thirty inmates, over thirty
Speaker 2: in mates to get their high school diplomas, and that
Speaker 2: was something that was enriching to me. But what I
Speaker 2: learned from that is the teacher that was inside. He
Speaker 2: had a master's degree. He was always well dressed, and
Speaker 2: he used to tell me that he loved being in there,
Speaker 2: even though I know he could have taught anywhere, because
Speaker 2: he wanted to help some of those guys get out
Speaker 2: so they never came back. And he always told me,
Speaker 2: this is why I do what I do. This is
Speaker 2: why I do what I do, and that why stuck
Speaker 2: with me. And so when I think of my identity,
Speaker 2: and the hardest part of kind of getting through everything
Speaker 2: was figuring out, Okay, why did I become a police officer?
Speaker 2: And can I hold onto that going forward? So I
Speaker 2: became a police officer to help other people, right, And
Speaker 2: it sounds very cliche, but that's why I did it.
Speaker 2: I did it because I did it also because I
Speaker 2: didn't want to work a nine to five under a
Speaker 2: cubicle in lights. I wanted to work outside and help
Speaker 2: people and do different things every day. And I figure, Okay,
Speaker 2: how can I do that? How can I help people
Speaker 2: in a different environment. And by sticking to that as
Speaker 2: opposed to the police and career, I was able to
Speaker 2: forge a new identity because I know, Okay, I can't
Speaker 2: be a police officer anymore, but I can still help
Speaker 2: people in other ways. So I got back into personal
Speaker 2: try and then eventually now what I do is I'm
Speaker 2: a speaker and I'm a coach.
Speaker 3: And where do you Where do you do most of
Speaker 3: your speaking?
Speaker 2: Yes? So what Yeah? Most of my speaking is with
Speaker 2: either two main markets, first responders or frontline workers, anyone
Speaker 2: who deals with you know, first responder, law enforcement, health
Speaker 2: and safety, those types of people, or with young people.
Speaker 2: I end up in the education space. I work with
Speaker 2: CADA twelve and college and university students. The topic is
Speaker 2: the same mental health, resilience, overcoming challenges and those are
Speaker 2: Those are the people that I speak to.
Speaker 1: And there's one thing that you had mentioned to me,
Speaker 1: this is it's like your your mission and I put
Speaker 1: that in the title of the show. It's not your reality,
Speaker 1: it's your response that matters. Can you expand on that.
Speaker 2: Yes, And I'd love to say that brilliant line is.
Speaker 3: Most I love it. I actually love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I use it now And I kind of altered
Speaker 2: a little bit of what my mother used to say.
Speaker 2: But it's my mother is lying. I come from a
Speaker 2: single parent home. My dad left when I was My
Speaker 2: dad left when I was five, And Helen, we've known
Speaker 2: each other for a while, but now you're like getting
Speaker 2: to know me me right, Yes, I am so. My
Speaker 2: dad left when I was five, and my mom was
Speaker 2: never bitter about it. She never took them to court.
Speaker 2: She never did some of the things you might expect
Speaker 2: someone to do, like he cheated on her, he had
Speaker 2: a child with another woman. There's a cool Young and
Speaker 2: Restless story behind that. But I'm aging myself with Young
Speaker 2: and the Restless. Say I used to watch it, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: fair enough for.
Speaker 3: Back in high school.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, we al used to watch it. That
Speaker 2: in days of our Lives was my other one I
Speaker 2: used to watch. But anyways, and so she never did
Speaker 2: any of those things that you might think someone that
Speaker 2: has been you know, hurt like that might do. And
Speaker 2: years later I sat down with her and I'm like, Mom,
Speaker 2: you were never bitter. You encouraged me that relationship with dad.
Speaker 2: How did you do it? And she said, you know,
Speaker 2: I chose not to be bitter and that was her choice.
Speaker 2: She's always reminded me of that, even when I went
Speaker 2: through what I went through. You can choose to be
Speaker 2: better at the RCP. You can choose to be bitter
Speaker 2: at everything that happens, or you can move on. And
Speaker 2: she said, you're going to be facing things that are unfair, unpredictable,
Speaker 2: and uncontrollable in your life.
Speaker 4: But she said, it's not your reality that matters, it's
Speaker 4: your response exactly. He said that years before any of
Speaker 4: this policing stuff happened, years before I even became a
Speaker 4: police officer.
Speaker 2: So I stuck. I held onto that, and now I
Speaker 2: share that. It's kind of my mission to remind the
Speaker 2: people that I speak to that no matter what you're
Speaker 2: going to and it applies to everybody. For police officers,
Speaker 2: it's not your reality. It's not the reality of the
Speaker 2: fact that maybe you didn't get the promotion, or something
Speaker 2: happened that you wish didn't happen, or personal relationship didn't
Speaker 2: go the way you wanted it to. With students, it's
Speaker 2: not the test that you failed. It's not you know,
Speaker 2: the girl that dumped you. It's not the reality of
Speaker 2: the fact that maybe your parents don't support the dream
Speaker 2: you will have in your life. It's how you respond
Speaker 2: to it that matters. So the tagline really applies no
Speaker 2: matter what age I'm.
Speaker 1: Speaking to, no matter what age. Oh, I like that
Speaker 1: because I did see some videos of you, mostly like
Speaker 1: with students. How did they respond to you when you're
Speaker 1: when you're up there doing your thing, like you must
Speaker 1: feel so supercharged just knowing that you get to share
Speaker 1: your story. How did the students actually respond to that?
Speaker 3: For you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and you know, my story that I share
Speaker 2: with students is a little bit different. I mean what
Speaker 2: I just told you forms the bulk of what I
Speaker 2: share with first responders. With students, I like to kind
Speaker 2: of go back to their world. So I actually share
Speaker 2: about a small, very small percentage of my whole story
Speaker 2: with the students in my life. Okay, you know that
Speaker 2: I do with them, but I talk more about the
Speaker 2: things I've gone through when I was their age, Failing
Speaker 2: in school, having a crush on a curl, you know,
Speaker 2: not university, trying to get in like all the things
Speaker 2: that I went through when I was their age. To
Speaker 2: make it, you know, even more applicable to them, I
Speaker 2: do share parts of my story, but to ask answer
Speaker 2: your question, there's no there's nothing like standing in front of,
Speaker 2: you know, hundreds or even thousands sometimes of you know,
Speaker 2: young people that you know they're not sure about you
Speaker 2: at first, but then you know, you share with them,
Speaker 2: and then they share with you. Sometimes they cry, Yeah,
Speaker 2: sometimes they share things they haven't shared with a lot
Speaker 2: of people, and it creates some some special moments.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 1: I love the fact that you're planning seeds, right, You're
Speaker 1: planning seeds with them, and then it's up to them
Speaker 1: what they're going to do with your story, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever it is that you share to help them move
Speaker 1: forward on their journey. Because I'm a firm believer like
Speaker 1: what you think becomes your reality, I'm huge on that.
Speaker 1: So it's again, it's playing the seeds very much so,
Speaker 1: you know, you create your own reality just by your
Speaker 1: thoughts alone and the things that you choose. But it's
Speaker 1: also understanding that you know, everything happens for a reason obviously,
Speaker 1: and you know you wanted to be of service, you
Speaker 1: wanted to help others. It just kind of went it
Speaker 1: came about it in a different way. And you know,
Speaker 1: you did help others inside an actual prison, Like how
Speaker 1: amazing is that to make a difference for those who
Speaker 1: did something wrong, if they were charged wrong or committed something.
Speaker 1: But the fact that you also help them to get,
Speaker 1: you know, high school diploma, even that alone.
Speaker 2: Is rewarding. And especially a lot of them, a lot
Speaker 2: of them were kind of guarded at first. When you know,
Speaker 2: they pretend they don't want it, right, they come into
Speaker 2: whatever I got to do this education disagree, But then
Speaker 2: you know, when it's time to graduate, they're like, yo,
Speaker 2: when am I getting that diploma? You know, so you
Speaker 2: can you can see the pride when they absolutely come
Speaker 2: back and know they've gotten it and they've earned it.
Speaker 2: It's a special it's a special thing there too.
Speaker 1: So going back to to you, okay, because I want
Speaker 1: to come back to you. Did forgiveness become part of
Speaker 1: your healing journey or it's forgiveness. Would you say overrated?
Speaker 2: I don't think forgive this is overrated because I think some.
Speaker 1: People might think, oh, just forgive, just forgive, But I
Speaker 1: believe it's who you are, and that's a huge part
Speaker 1: of our human existence. I believe is forget well, forgiving
Speaker 1: ourselves first, even forgiving the judge, how about that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, definitely, there's there's a lot of elements there
Speaker 2: like forgiving. I mean there's you know, people that were
Speaker 2: within the RCMP that could have done things differently that
Speaker 2: I need to forgive. And you're right for forgiving the
Speaker 2: judge and say that, you know, I always assume people
Speaker 2: act with knowledge that I don't have any access to. Right,
Speaker 2: So even if I was bitter against the judge and
Speaker 2: I feel like he was out to get me, at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, he's making a decision based
Speaker 2: on factors in his mind that he sees that I
Speaker 2: don't know about things in his past that have happened
Speaker 2: that led him to being in front of me in
Speaker 2: that courtroom. All the years that he's gone through, all
Speaker 2: the things that he's gone through, led him to the
Speaker 2: mindset that he has the decisions that he's made. I
Speaker 2: don't know any of that. So forgiveness for me is
Speaker 2: not saying I forgive you, but it's about saying there
Speaker 2: are things I don't know, so because I'm ignorant to
Speaker 2: the whole story, yeah, I won't pass judgment on it.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of what forgiveness means and allows me
Speaker 2: to say authentically, I forgive because I don't know everything.
Speaker 2: So that's that's the same thing I use. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know all the things that went on in
Speaker 2: his life that led him to say, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be an ABSENTIFA. I don't know everything. It hurts,
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I don't know everything that
Speaker 2: he went through in his life to lead him to
Speaker 2: that making that decision. So forgiveness for me is just
Speaker 2: pleading ignorance as opposed to saying, give you you know.
Speaker 1: And what would you say to someone listening right now
Speaker 1: who may say feel stuck or broken or believes that
Speaker 1: life has been unfair to them, What would you say
Speaker 1: to them, M.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're there, if you're out there and you're
Speaker 2: you believe that life has broken you, I will say
Speaker 2: that there are probably things that are in your future
Speaker 2: that you can't even imagine that could only happen if
Speaker 2: you're going through what you're going through right now. And
Speaker 2: this is where faith comes into play. You have to
Speaker 2: say to yourself, there must be something that will happen
Speaker 2: because of this that needs to happen. I could have
Speaker 2: never foreseen what I'm doing now as part of my life.
Speaker 2: I didn't even want it. I wanted to be a
Speaker 2: police officer, but because none of what I've I'm doing
Speaker 2: now could have happened without that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally believe story.
Speaker 2: That's been written beforehand had to have been written for
Speaker 2: me to write the story I'm writing now, and the
Speaker 2: single's true for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I look at that too.
Speaker 1: I call myself a woman of many hats, right, I've
Speaker 1: done many many jobs you name it.
Speaker 3: I've practically done it. Okay except for being a stripper, but.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm just saying, everything has led up to where
Speaker 1: I'm at today.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of an audience because I was in
Speaker 1: the film industry acting on stage, so I have that right.
Speaker 1: I've always been of service and things like that, So
Speaker 1: I just but if you ask me, you know, fifteen
Speaker 1: twenty twenty years of age.
Speaker 3: Would I be would I be talking to dead people? No,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't never it just I fell into it, basically.
Speaker 1: But I had to live my life's experience to help
Speaker 1: me be the person that I am today, and I've
Speaker 1: got I've had lots of highs and I've had some
Speaker 1: lots of lows and lots of experiences. And so I'm
Speaker 1: a firm believer that your past can give you the
Speaker 1: ingredients of where you are meant to be. But again,
Speaker 1: if you choose that right and you've I am going
Speaker 1: to share with the honest because, like I said, I've
Speaker 1: been following you a lot lately and you you you
Speaker 1: mentioned faith. You mentioned you have a friend that you
Speaker 1: now talked to that you pray to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, friend friend named Jesus is who you know?
Speaker 2: You know, I've had an up and down relationship with
Speaker 2: my faith.
Speaker 3: I have no doubt.
Speaker 2: My mother hasn't. My mother has been even keeled. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know who she is, you know her beliefs. She
Speaker 2: sends me Bible versus regularly ever since I was a kid. Honestly,
Speaker 2: she's yeah, straight through. But I've had my ups and
Speaker 2: downs but what I've known and what I've where I've
Speaker 2: come to now is that my life is better. I
Speaker 2: have more peace, I have no joy when I rely
Speaker 2: on the things I know, the example that Jesus led,
Speaker 2: reading things in the Bible and applying those concepts to
Speaker 2: my life and talking to God daily and not let
Speaker 2: I kneel down and I say official prayers like I
Speaker 2: talked to him like.
Speaker 3: I'm talking to you as a friend, as a friend, Hey.
Speaker 2: God, how you doing? Like that? Those types of things,
Speaker 2: and I try to surrender. I'm still working on what
Speaker 2: that means exactly to me, Like surrendering you kind of
Speaker 2: take control of this is what I'm meant to do. Fine,
Speaker 2: and let's go with it. So it's it's helped me
Speaker 2: so much.
Speaker 3: I like that. Yeah, you know who you should follow.
Speaker 1: I've been following her for years actually since COVID, and
Speaker 1: she's she had a huge audience, but it's now shifted,
Speaker 1: very well connected. She is now all about Jesus and
Speaker 1: she is trying to get the message out there. She's
Speaker 1: always she's teaching it. She's actually writing a.
Speaker 3: Book with him with him. Okay, so there you go, Lori, lad,
Speaker 3: I'll spell it for l O R I E l
Speaker 3: A D.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she is just so raw and so authentic.
Speaker 1: And I just love that my audience is hearing this
Speaker 1: right now because I want to help spread the mission
Speaker 1: as well on her behalf, because she she did lose
Speaker 1: a lot of followers. She just all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: her life is just completely changed. And I've just noticed
Speaker 1: that you've integrated him more in your posts, and I
Speaker 1: was just like, oh, I just I just I love that,
Speaker 1: you know, because you're you're you're being so real, you're
Speaker 1: being so raw, and you know that's authenticity to me
Speaker 1: is the highest frequency that you can walk through in life.
Speaker 2: So authenticity is the highest frequency. Yeah, that's amaking that one.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll be honored. Okay, So question for you.
Speaker 1: If you could sit across from your younger self, the
Speaker 1: version before all of this happened, would you tell them.
Speaker 2: Mmm, I would tell that younger version of me along
Speaker 2: the same lines, Pray more, surrender more. That's it, because
Speaker 2: I think that I've tried to walk my own path
Speaker 2: for too long and this is where it's you know this,
Speaker 2: it led me down the wrong way, and my life
Speaker 2: is still blessed now because I'm being led as opposed
Speaker 2: to just leading my own way, walking my own way.
Speaker 3: You're such a beautiful human. You know that you are.
Speaker 2: I try to try to.
Speaker 1: Try.
Speaker 2: I know, you know what. I'm going to share this
Speaker 2: as well. I don't know, maybe someone needs to hear this.
Speaker 2: There's been times in my life when I haven't treated
Speaker 2: people well, done good things in life. There's probably people
Speaker 2: still out there that I haven't treated well that probably
Speaker 2: still despised me. And we might look at me and say,
Speaker 2: who is this guy? You know? Yeah, I know who
Speaker 2: you are or who you were. Some people can only
Speaker 2: see yesterday's version of you. And doesn't mean you can't change.
Speaker 2: They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks,
Speaker 2: or people don't change. That's not true at all. I
Speaker 2: don't believe that change. And you don't have to feel
Speaker 2: guilty about who you were. That's kind of a lessoning. Yeah,
Speaker 2: start to learn.
Speaker 3: I call it.
Speaker 1: It's part of the being. It's part of the human experience.
Speaker 1: That's why we're here to have these experiences. And then
Speaker 1: it's what you do with all those experiences. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, to me, it's all about love, right,
Speaker 1: and it's loving ourselves, and it's loving those that have
Speaker 1: hurt us knowingly or unknowingly, and but most of all,
Speaker 1: loving ourselves and forgiving ourselves. And yeah, I just want
Speaker 1: to say thank you so much for being here and
Speaker 1: just sharing.
