you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what
10
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.000
you've done with those accomplishments. It's about who you've lifted up,
11
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.600
who you've made better. It's about what you've given back.

Nudjem Welcome to the show.
16
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.880
Thank you doctor, it's a pleasure to be here.
17
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.119
Well, that's going to be exciting topic and I've got
18
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.959
a lot of questions for you on this, so hopefully
19
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:06.959
that'll be fun. What I'd love for you to do, though,
20
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.280
is to share with the audience your journey, what brought
21
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:11.959
you to this point in your life where you're doing
22
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.760
what you're doing and be happy to you know, share
23
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.359
who you are are, what you've done in your life,
24
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:19.519
and why you're here now.
25
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.159
Yeah. So it started kind of unconventional. I was actually
26
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.439
a pharmacist for just over a decade, and because I
27
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.719
had struggled myself in my personal life with a lot
28
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:36.120
of people pleasing, I had developed generalized sonciety disorder because
29
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.560
I was just kind of always nervous about oh did
30
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.200
I say the right thing? Not the right thing? And
31
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.719
social situations. I just wanted to be accepted and pleased.
32
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.040
And I have kind of like the shield, and I
33
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:52.000
was always assessing, coming from stuff from childhood and then
34
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.480
through the journey of becoming a pharmacist. I actually I'm
35
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.640
from Canada and I moved to the US. I had
36
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.200
to transfer my license. There was a lot of studying involved.
37
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.959
I started to like really amp up the anxiety and
38
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.560
I realized, gosh, this cannot continue, this cannot continue, And
39
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.919
and my doctor wanted to prescribe me an entire anxiety.
40
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.400
And because I'm a pharmacist, I was just like, Oh,
41
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.360
this is not the route. Yeah, this is not the
42
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.199
route I want to take. I felt. I was young
43
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.120
and I felt. I knew that there were non, non
44
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.800
pharmacological ways to go about these things. So that got
45
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:32.199
me into a rabbit hole of self development, self growth.
46
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.360
I went into YouTube, I I gobbled up everything I
47
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.000
could find. I took trainings, I went overseas even to
48
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.840
get certifications on coaching, initially for me, initially to heal
49
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.800
myself and actually feel better and be happier, to have
50
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:49.960
more joy, be able to be with others without that anxiety,
51
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.120
without feeling like I needed to fit in or say
52
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.479
the right thing or just laugh at the joke. So
53
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.400
but what happened is that as I was accumulating these
54
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.560
certifications and these trainings, and I realized this was good,
55
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:11.719
This was actually changing my life and my appreciation and
56
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:16.599
freedom in living the fullness of life. And so my
57
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.520
interest with pharmacy started to dwindle a little bit. And
58
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.479
then I really wanted to start helping people and really
59
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.879
be immersed in this world in what I'm learning and
60
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.000
what I'm giving. And so when the opportunity came to
61
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.800
leave my career. At that point, I was working the
62
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.080
farmer industry. I was a medical information specialist, and I
63
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.280
was up for promotion, and I got the opportunity to
64
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.319
apply and then be invited to become a Tony Robbins
65
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:49.120
coach full time. Wow. So I made a decision to
66
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.520
burn my boat and John I was like okay, and
67
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.759
I left my career my buff winner surprise because obviously
68
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.919
you know, this was not planned, and that I joined
69
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.479
the team and just for for almost two years, I
70
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.479
was a full time coach with Tony Robbins. I had
71
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.080
done a little bit on my on the side before,
72
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.240
but it was nothing like going full time. And as
73
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.600
much as I love Tony's mission, it felt like I
74
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.639
had this calling to serve women because what I'm what
75
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.079
I am now is a women empowerment mentor coach, and
76
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.319
I'm really my passion is to help women stop themming
77
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:27.920
their lights.
78
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:35.040
Okay, so I actually okay, yeah, just so they can
79
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.480
learn to really be themselves, because that's that's a desire,
80
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.800
like how can I only can I be myself and
81
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.079
also have deeply connected relationships because oftentimes.
82
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.720
It feels like we can have one or the other.
83
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.240
Oh why women? You know, my son asked me that
84
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:56.600
he ate he's like, my what to help women? And
85
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:01.000
really simply I think men. I love men too, obviously,
86
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.079
I'm married, I my son, there's nothing just really that's
87
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.000
my own experience. It's important for me, and that's why
88
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.360
I'm calling myself a mentor coach as a coach, and
89
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.839
I've done that with Tony Robbins. You can coach anyone
90
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.360
anywhere on anything, that's not a problem, but when you
91
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:22.600
bring mentorship, it comes from a lived experience. This is
92
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.800
my journey, So I'm bridging the two, and I know
93
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.680
how to be a feminine energy. I know what it's
94
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.279
like to be a woman stuck in her masculine and
95
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.680
that's kind of part of the journey and learning to
96
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.199
develop the feminine and be herself. So that's why I'm
97
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.439
focusing on women because I don't have a first person
98
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.279
experience of what it's like to be a man and
99
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.480
come into being your full masculine.
100
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.120
Okay, so you were a coach with Tony Robbins for
101
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:52.920
two years. I assume you use as the ISCA test
102
00:05:53.040 --> 00:06:00.720
to analyze personalities, right disc Yes, absolutely, So here's my question. Yeah,
103
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.399
I don't know if you use the advanced one or
104
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.199
just the standard one, because you know, I went online
105
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:08.519
and took a standard one and I found that it
106
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.360
was not totally accurate. Uh, And so the one that
107
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.879
I use, he may have used, purchased it and then
108
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.959
put his name on it. I know some other people have.
109
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:23.879
But yeah, here's my question. Have you found that number one,
110
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:29.560
this experience of you know, wanting to empower women because
111
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.360
they feel overwhelmed, they don't feel good enough, all those
112
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.879
types of things. Have you found that it's more women
113
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.279
than men? And I'm going to get to the y.
114
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.120
I think it may be, but go ahead.
115
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.079
Do you mean more women than men that are overwhelmed?
116
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.800
Is that what you're saying? Yes, hmmm, Well, that's a
117
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:49.920
good question.
118
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.920
I'm asking because I know when you get into the
119
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.879
disk test and the personality evaluations and so forth, you've
120
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.040
got your right brain, you've got your left brain. And
121
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:04.360
and I know from studies and research that that the
122
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:09.839
majority of women women are more right brain. They're more emotional,
123
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.920
they're you know, they're wonderful, that's really where they need
124
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.800
to be. And men tend to be more left brain,
125
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.480
which makes them pain in the neck once in a while.
126
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.879
But here's a question. You know, women being more right brain,
127
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.040
you find that they tend to experience this a little
128
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:29.920
bit more than men.
129
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.600
You know, I think they get overwhelmed for different reasons.
130
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.079
If I'm just thinking back when I was coaching, both
131
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.759
men would get more overwhelmed because they want to be
132
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.720
the breadwinner. They want to provide, right, So it's like
133
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.160
they want to take on they have a lot, or
134
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.560
maybe at ORC it could be sometimes with the amount
135
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.480
of work because they just this that desire of the
136
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.439
masculine in my opinion, that wants to provide, wants to
137
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.240
be a leader, wants to take take care of the team.
138
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.560
Not that women don't, but it just feels a little different.
139
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.600
Women feel overwhelmed oftentimes, and those are generalizations. Of course,
140
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.839
this cross is over, but women would be more caring
141
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.759
for their family, wanting to do everything, wanting to wear
142
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.000
all the hats, wanting to be everything for everybody. So
143
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.920
it's a more like in a caring way. Not that
144
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.680
men don't care, they do, right, But that's the distinction
145
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.959
that I feel might be where the overwhelm shows up differently.
146
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.600
Okay, And do you find that they fit into piking
147
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.399
a personality or profile.
148
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.279
When I use the DISC every day with all my clients,
149
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.639
like I delivered over two thousand and one on one
150
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:42.759
sessions and most of them was with using the DISC.
151
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:49.120
I definitely see patterns and I've definitely seen that this
152
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.320
assessment is accurate. It might not be accurate to the number,
153
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.399
or there might be some you know, how you're taking
154
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.360
the test. There's always human error, but in general, if
155
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.120
you look at general like what DSc is general energies, Yes,
156
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.120
I've definitely seen that when I see the profile and
157
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.000
then I speak to the person for the first time,
158
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.720
I would say ninety percent of the time plus it
159
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:15.519
would make sense.
160
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:17.720
Well. And the reason I asked that, and what I
161
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:20.559
find is because I've used that a lot too as
162
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.960
I've worked with people, is that I talk about the
163
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.639
fact that where we look at the strengths. You know,
164
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.559
when you look at any behavioral analysis, whether it's DISC
165
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.759
or whatever, you look at those strains and then you
166
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.639
realize that if they allow it to go too far,
167
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:43.200
it becomes a weakness totally. And in my mind a
168
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:45.960
lot of times, whoever it is, and particularly here where
169
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:49.320
we're talking about women, you know, they're such great strength
170
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.600
in who they are and their personalities and so forth,
171
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.320
but when it goes a little bit too far, all
172
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.600
of a sudden, it becomes that weakness, and in your case,
173
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:03.120
people please us is the type of individual that you're
174
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.440
working with. So what do you find causes this sense
175
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.120
of people pleasing? Because I know that you're using NLP,
176
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.600
I know you're using all sorts of things to figure
177
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.840
this out. What have you found in general are the
178
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.519
main causes for women to become people pleasers.
179
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.240
So in my experience, in what I've seen, people pleasing
180
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.639
comes from childhood. It's really is a learned Habit is
181
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.440
a way we're coping with the world because we learn
182
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.840
as kids like we feel safe when people accept us,
183
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.000
we feel safe when people approve of us, and we
184
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.480
want to be love, we want to belong. And so
185
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.360
there's things along the way that we picked up that
186
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.360
if we just do like mommy and Daddy want me
187
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.679
to be, then I get praise, then I get more love,
188
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.480
and then when I don't, then I get punished. And
189
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:56.639
so even on even a very well intentioned parent just
190
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.200
doing their best might actually cause this child to understand this.
191
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.639
So it doesn't necessarily need to come from trauma or
192
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:07.679
anything like that, is just picking up along the way,
193
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.639
like oh, listen to your teacher, like I'm I'm you know,
194
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.879
bring an apple, I get an AA. So there's just
195
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:18.559
this this learning along the way. And then oftentimes women
196
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.799
who struggle with people pleasing them most is that there
197
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.480
has been a little bit of that shame of who
198
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.919
I am is not good enough, who I am is
199
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.799
not desirable, and so just the way I am is
200
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.919
not lovable enough. So I need to tweak myself to
201
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:38.759
please because me as I am is not enough or
202
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:40.080
is not good well.
203
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.799
And I think it's interesting. You know, I have four kids,
204
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.279
and I really worked hard. Believe me, I've gone through
205
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.399
this for a number of years. I really worked hard
206
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.840
to make sure that they had a healthy childhood, growing
207
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.639
up and so forth. And still, you know, there's times
208
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.120
that it's like, oh, Dad, you expect so much of us,
209
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.720
and you know, and I realized that to some degree, y,
210
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.600
it's my fault to some degree, but also it's their perception.
211
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.480
And I think it's so interesting that we cannot ever
212
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.000
determine what the perception of one of our children is
213
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.519
going to have based on anything we do. We may
214
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.440
come in from our heart and with love and wanting
215
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.519
to help them, and their perception may be entirely opposite.
216
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.720
One hundred percent. You can have two kids living the
217
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:29.000
same stuff and then interpreting it completely differently or developing
218
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:33.360
different coping mechanisms from it. So there's I'm not an
219
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.279
expert of you know, the personality and how that that
220
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.919
might play a role, but it definitely does. Some people
221
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.840
will become the golden child and some people will become,
222
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.879
you know, the rebel with the same situation.
223
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.720
And that's so true. And it's interesting. As I was
224
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.279
reading your bio, I recognize that I saw that you
225
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.399
use three at least you mentioned three major areas that
226
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:02.799
you do it. Maybe four, but three NLP, which is
227
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.919
neural linguistic programming, and I'll have you explain to the
228
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:10.279
audience what that is. Then you have hypnotherapy and I
229
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.840
think a specific type of hypnotherapy, and then also you
230
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.279
can buy an Eastern philosophy. So I would love for
231
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.399
you to share how you use all of those three
232
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:23.000
areas in helping people and why it's important to touch
233
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:23.919
on each one of those.
234
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:30.200
Yes, well, because I'm coming from a very intuitive and
235
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.759
and feminine approach. It's not like I'm like, Okay, here's
236
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:34.440
the technique I'm going to use. That's from an LP,
237
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:38.519
that's from hypnosis, right, I'm this complex person who has
238
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:43.080
all this knowledge neural linguistic programming. There's different teachers. I
239
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:47.039
learned with one of the co founders, John Grinder, in Portugal,
