00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:57.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: good Good afternoon! Good morning! Good evening. Wherever you're listening from, and tuning into welcome to the conscious consult now awakening humanity. I am very, very pleased that you are all here with me today. We've got a wonderful show in store for you. Our next to last show live show for the New Year.

00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:16.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I'm, I have a dear friend coming on. I I think you'll really like her. But of course. First, we have, as always, our little section from my book, Everyday Awakening, which you can always get it. Everyday Awakening Bookcom, and this section is entitled

00:01:16.370 --> 00:01:21.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our wounds are our excuse to hide in plain sight

00:01:22.170 --> 00:01:25.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we have a tendency to hold on to our pain.

00:01:25.490 --> 00:01:30.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Often we have had a pain for so long that we don't remember

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:35.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what it is like not to have it, and it feels scary to let it go.

00:01:35.490 --> 00:01:39.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There is a benefit to holding on to pain that

00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:41.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Isn't discussed too often.

00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:46.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That benefit is how pain gives us the perfect excuse.

00:01:46.380 --> 00:01:49.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the perfect excuse not to do something.

00:01:49.830 --> 00:01:52.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the perfect excuse not to show up

00:01:53.170 --> 00:01:56.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the perfect excuse not to try.

00:01:57.030 --> 00:02:00.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can use our pain in so many ways.

00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can use it as the reason why not to be vulnerable.

00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.869 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or we can use it as the reason to be vulnerable.

00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To transform and change.

00:02:12.140 --> 00:02:17.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We use our pain all the time. Usually we're not even aware of it.

00:02:17.740 --> 00:02:24.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It is something that just sits there in the back of our consciousness, and we think we are showing up for others.

00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:27.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet we are just hiding in plain sight.

00:02:28.970 --> 00:02:30.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We are present.

00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:33.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yet we are not really present.

00:02:33.430 --> 00:02:34.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We are showing up

00:02:35.710 --> 00:02:38.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yet. We are not really showing up.

00:02:39.190 --> 00:02:41.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We show up in our wound.

00:02:41.790 --> 00:02:44.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We may even talk about our wound.

00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:48.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: In fact, we may wallow in our wound.

00:02:48.970 --> 00:02:55.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yet we are not moving past our wound, because to move past. Our wound is scaring.

00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:02.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It has been our companion for so many years, and has comfort us when we fail.

00:03:02.550 --> 00:03:08.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sometimes old pain keeps us so safe. So we don't have to be heard again.

00:03:10.330 --> 00:03:19.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The trouble is that when we just live in our wound we are not being true to ourselves. We are not being who we really are.

00:03:20.170 --> 00:03:22.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We are not living authentically

00:03:23.770 --> 00:03:25.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and freshly.

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or in the moment

00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:30.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we are not showing up as our best selves.

00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:37.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We use the identity related to old Pain to hide from being who we can truly be.

00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and who we truly are, is a gift to the world.

00:03:44.320 --> 00:03:51.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It is our presence that lights the way for others to see that they can get past their wounds. As well

00:03:51.620 --> 00:03:57.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: drop their excuses from being, drop their excuses, and stop

00:03:57.070 --> 00:03:59.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: hiding in plain sight, too.

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:06.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Can you see where in your life you are hiding in plain sight because of your pain.

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:08.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So

00:04:08.850 --> 00:04:12.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I wrote this section of my book a while ago.

00:04:12.810 --> 00:04:14.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I remember what the

00:04:15.090 --> 00:04:22.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what, what? What? The inspiration for it was I I was at a

00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:26.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a group with with my teacher and mentor.

00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:32.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I went up to him to to discuss something with him.

00:04:32.290 --> 00:04:35.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that wasn't sitting very well with me.

00:04:37.830 --> 00:04:39.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and you make some

00:04:39.790 --> 00:04:42.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: comment about Well.

00:04:42.590 --> 00:04:45.789 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: why are you not showing up? And i'm like, what do you mean?

00:04:46.850 --> 00:04:48.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And he said to me.

00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You use your pain as an excuse not to show up.

00:04:55.230 --> 00:05:04.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it struck me like going right here in the middle of my board, and it it. Really.

00:05:07.370 --> 00:05:09.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't want to say it's done.

00:05:10.210 --> 00:05:15.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but it really affected me on a deep level, like I had never felt

00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:19.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so naked in front of another human being

00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:25.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: like he could see right past all of my masks, all of my

00:05:25.710 --> 00:05:29.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: my persona, and and could really see the heart of me.

00:05:31.550 --> 00:05:35.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it was really difficult to

00:05:36.140 --> 00:05:37.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: sit with it.

00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:40.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It was really difficult to

00:05:41.010 --> 00:05:42.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: acknowledged it.

00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:48.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and realized that he was absolutely

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:49.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: correct.

00:05:51.610 --> 00:05:53.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so

00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I I I

00:05:56.530 --> 00:05:58.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I shared it with someone.

00:05:59.330 --> 00:06:04.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Later on that night, and he was like, oh, my God, that's true of me, too.

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:09.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then, as I kind of discussed it with some people.

00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:15.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I found out that actually it's true for almost all of us.

00:06:17.340 --> 00:06:18.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so

00:06:19.180 --> 00:06:28.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I I kind of wrote this section because I realized I had been hiding in plain sight for so many years.

00:06:28.710 --> 00:06:32.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I had been using my pain, my wound, my

00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:38.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: my trauma, is my excuse not to show up not to

00:06:38.380 --> 00:06:44.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: be the best that I am. That's a truly be authentic and vulnerable and present.

00:06:45.220 --> 00:07:03.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's still a challenge to today. I mean, I, this is such a core thing for me. I'll probably be working with this for the rest of my life. I mean. I'd like to imagine that i'm much better than I used to be. It might be just an illusion. It could be just me fooling myself, but I like to think of.

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm much better with it, and that I

00:07:06.940 --> 00:07:08.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: i'm hiding less

00:07:08.610 --> 00:07:12.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: shall we say in plain sight then then I used to.

00:07:12.270 --> 00:07:15.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I know I I probably still do.

00:07:16.900 --> 00:07:20.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so to me this is one of the most

00:07:20.890 --> 00:07:23.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: vulnerable pieces in my book.

00:07:24.780 --> 00:07:27.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that this is something that

00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:33.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know. At the time I just had to write about it, because it was the only way for me to

00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:35.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: process it. So

00:07:36.320 --> 00:07:38.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I I that with you

00:07:39.080 --> 00:07:41.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to learn from me.

00:07:43.170 --> 00:07:47.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is there some wound? Is there some pain? Is there some trauma

00:07:47.610 --> 00:07:53.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that's keeping you from showing up truly, authentically, deeply in your life?

00:07:55.620 --> 00:07:57.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And if there is.

00:07:58.070 --> 00:08:00.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, maybe seek help.

00:08:00.760 --> 00:08:09.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: work with a professional, a therapist or a guide, or someone a shaman who can help you to

00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:21.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not to completely let it go, although that would be nice not to you know. I I I really don't believe in like we don't go from 0 to 100 overnight.

00:08:22.060 --> 00:08:23.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but to work through it

00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:28.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to take some time, and just to move through it

00:08:28.210 --> 00:08:30.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and understand it and accept it.

00:08:32.190 --> 00:08:34.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and still show up, anyway.

00:08:34.880 --> 00:08:36.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and still say.

00:08:36.669 --> 00:08:37.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yes.

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:39.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: this is me.

00:08:42.520 --> 00:08:51.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So that's this section from my book. It entitled Our Wounds, or Our Excuse to Hide in Plain Site.

00:08:51.690 --> 00:09:08.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that's from my book Everyday Awakening, which of course, you can find the listing on Amazon at Www. Dot Everyday awakening book.com but if you're like myself and you like to support local independent bookstores.

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:46.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I also want to mention I haven't really mentioned this before. But you know my book was best selling book in 3 different categories on Amazon. But I was just in a new book called the Game Changes Volume 7, and here's my picture all the way in the bottom, and this book became an international bestseller as well as the bestsell. So now i'm a 2 time best selling author and an international bestselling offer, and actually my little section in this book. I've talked about it on the show in the past.

00:09:46.990 --> 00:09:52.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but it's kind of me telling my story, and why,

00:09:52.300 --> 00:09:56.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: why, what I do today is so important.

00:09:57.130 --> 00:10:26.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's kind of a pretty vulnerable piece, you know. I talk about my childhood a little bit, and and my challenges through life. And so it it there's 17 other office here. It's a really great book. You you can find it again on Amazon, the Game changer Volume 7, so please. And there, there, obviously the 6 volumes before this and a lot of my friends and colleagues are in this book who who wrote and told their story. so if you're looking for some inspiration, if you're looking for

She's not new to this long, long before most people even knew what an echo entrepreneur was, and she's a certified health coach for over a decade.

00:12:00.290 --> 00:12:12.220 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Oh, so great! Thank you for the warm introduction. I'm so excited to talk to you today about what you read that was so awesome. Besides living, eating, and working like the future matters.

00:12:12.700 --> 00:12:22.699 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: but I am just so excited to be here. It's been almost a year since we talked about this, and to be here airing in my almost hometown. I was born and raised

00:12:22.810 --> 00:12:41.259 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: in New Jersey right across the bridge, so I got all on the Jersey, the New York thing, you know, and it! It's so awesome now, living here on the big island, like you say, where Monica and Mona Lola are both going off at the same time. Oh, both of them are going off. Yes.

00:12:41.270 --> 00:12:43.499 so rare. And last night

00:12:43.510 --> 00:13:03.349 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I went with a friend, and we drove up on the saddle road, and I took some epic photos which will be on my ego-pired site, but just seeing the Lava coming down almost hitting the road, we're on. It's just a mile away, and they're anticipating it might, you know, cut off the road, but you know

00:13:03.450 --> 00:13:14.909 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: It's cut off the same road before, and they just open it up again. It's just like amazing. Yes, I I tell you I I was in Hawaii for a couple of weeks back in

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: 2,000 and

00:13:17.900 --> 00:13:28.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: 6, 7 or 8. I forget something like that. So it was a while ago, and we stayed mainly in Maui, but we went to the big island for a weekend, and we went to see the lava flows.

00:13:28.540 --> 00:13:58.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, right around, you know. It was still light out, but you know, went into dusk in the evening time. It was such a site I had never seen anything like it, it was so beautiful, and and I I know they say you have to be careful when you're walking across the lava fields, because it can be sharp. But it was just so fascinating to me personally to look at like this, this black rock, which is lava that like this, is how the earth was formed. I mean it's really something to be so

00:13:58.520 --> 00:13:59.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in touch with that.

00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:07.870 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Well, you know what I want to take this back to what you wrote about pain right and like the earth right now, is experiencing

00:14:08.870 --> 00:14:11.700 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: a pain in the most unproportionate way.

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:19.489 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: seeing these storms in the climate crisis, and we're seeing volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, typhoons.

00:14:19.620 --> 00:14:23.290 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and and it's his mother earth's way of responding

00:14:23.460 --> 00:14:26.530 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: to the pain of humanity. Right? So

00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.380 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: feature matters, comes in.

00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:45.490 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and at the same time what you see when this volcano is happening, when you're spiritually awakened, which I like to consider, having lived on the most spiritual island almost in the world, right here, that I have absorbed some of Pachamama and Pele's wisdom.

00:14:46.130 --> 00:14:55.550 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: The thing that we're experiencing right now when she is having this flow. It's like when a woman has her period when we're detoxing.

00:14:55.910 --> 00:14:57.020 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and that's

00:14:57.190 --> 00:15:17.080 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: that that that gets us down to pain right now. I'm in the middle of not in the middle of kind of the beginning of a of another. detox right? And what happens when we detox our bodies? The physical thing happens.

00:15:17.090 --> 00:15:19.799 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: have You know

00:15:19.850 --> 00:15:26.039 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: these the physical rashes things that are right, but what they call a healing crisis.

00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:41.030 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: the healing crisis. But it doesn't have to be a crisis when you at it differently it becomes an awakening. But then you get to that layer where you and your you met with that colleague, and he addressed you, and the pain of not that the emotional

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:59.469 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: stuff that comes out right right emotional stuff that is spewing out of Mother Earth right now as well. Right right. It's a sense of like revealing who we are, and when I work with my clients, the first thing that we address is that like, Where do we need to purge? What do we need to compost

00:16:00.090 --> 00:16:02.760 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: that doesn't serve us, and what do we need?

00:16:02.780 --> 00:16:16.510 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: What does, because pain is just an indication of like, we need more balancing. We need to shift. Absolutely. Okay. Let's hold it there. We got to take our first break. and when we come back let's talk about

We're speaking this out with Donna Malt, author of the book, living like the future matters as long as as well as many other books. I just want to give a quick shout out. I see on the the Youtube live

00:19:35.570 --> 00:19:53.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: loyal listeners. Patti and Sonia are joining us today. Thank you for joining us, and I appreciate your sharing the video out. Let us know if you have any questions during the show. All right, Donna. So how did a girl from Jersey end up in Alaska for 37 years, and and then from there into Hawaii?

00:19:53.430 --> 00:20:09.910 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I love this question. I'm going to try and keep it short, because we got so much to talk about, and you can read it, and living like the future matters. But here here's what happened. you know I went to Europe when I was 16. My parents we were. I was kind of an upper middle class Jewish American princess

00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:19.530 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: living right outside of Manhattan, and, you know, going to the Malls and eating fast food. And this is in the 70 S.

00:20:19.870 --> 00:20:25.159 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: And so when I was 16 I I was going to camp before that.

00:20:25.410 --> 00:20:34.640 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Parents like to ship y'all for the summer back. Then, if they could afford it right. Get rid of the kids. And I decided I didn't want to go back to camp. I was, you know.

00:20:34.930 --> 00:20:36.030 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and

00:20:36.410 --> 00:20:46.999 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I. They They found the a hostile like, you know, a a bike riding thing to Europe, and I was really into bike writing. Didn't want to ride my a a card to

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:49.189 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: school because it was

00:20:49.210 --> 00:21:08.400 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: polluting. You know. I was already hip to all this when I was young, and so I refused to get my driver's license and the whole 9 yards. But then the next thing is, I go to Europe, where there wasn't a fast food joint or a mall, and and we were camping, and I was with a bunch of other upper middle class or middle class, upper middle class

00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:16.309 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: kids from like Scarsdale, New York, and Manhattan, and they're all going on this trip, and we're camping every night

00:21:16.810 --> 00:21:28.279 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: First spiritual awakening, realizing that the unattainable and sustainable American dream was a. Bunch of B s, and that I was changing my ways, and that was it.

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:30.420 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I I wanted to.

00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:34.689 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: You know. I know there's a lot of great things about America. Don't get me wrong.

00:21:35.120 --> 00:21:52.159 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: but I really felt the earth's move when I was there Literally, Carol King. Thank you so much. but she made it. the earth's movement every year around, meaning like the earth. And I felt very violated. By the way, my upbringing was Country Club, you know.

00:21:52.170 --> 00:22:04.009 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Fancy cars, the fingernails, the beauty parlor, all of these things that I thought that's what I was supposed to do when I and I didn't want any of it. I wanted to tamp outside. So actually that's what I did.

00:22:04.420 --> 00:22:16.250 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I camped outside when I I told my parents I wouldn't get out of my room. I was wearing an alkal trash shirt in my bedroom for 3 days before I came out that I came out of my room. They had to slide food to me, and I said to them, Look

00:22:16.260 --> 00:22:33.240 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: until I can move outside in camp under the stars, so i'm not come back in the house. That was number One condition. Number 2 is. I wanted to plant a garden, Remember, i'm 16 years old, so we need to listen to our youth. They're very smart. I'm. I'm very, very in tune with the youth, because they they know what they want.

00:22:33.250 --> 00:22:47.469 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: So, anyway, I broke out. I got both of those things accomplished, I went to very alternative progressive colleges, and I basically My degree was in social ecology. It took me 6 years to get it. I was

00:22:47.480 --> 00:23:00.419 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: organic farming along the way and back in the late seventys early Eightys organic farming was just coming into its own, and basically they gave me the grains in in social ecology, but I was learning how to be

00:23:00.850 --> 00:23:06.679 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: assault us all entrepreneur. At the same time I was learning how to be an organic farmer, a steward of the land.

00:23:06.770 --> 00:23:25.350 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I was studying ecology and the relationship between the the food we eat, and how it affects the earth, and a lot of the study was me digging in because I had all these independent things looking at what was going on in our watershed, looking what was going in in the atmosphere. Look what was happening to our bodies.

00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:33.300 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I mean people weren't even taking into consideration that it the agricultural industry that goes into making packaging materials.

00:23:33.460 --> 00:24:00.740 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Boxes. They're the fossil fuels They're pumping it out of these oil fields right. They make this plastic packaging so it wasn't just the food we were eating was this processed food that we're eating the packaging food, the amount of chemicals that we're going into the ecosystems, You know what you're talking about reminds me a a a long time ago. I can't remember when I remember someone shared a link with me of this animation

00:24:00.930 --> 00:24:04.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of this video online called the Story of Stuff.

00:24:05.010 --> 00:24:33.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and they kind of showed how like, you know, we have this very tiny perspective of this thing we buy in a store. And there's such this wider thing of the packaging, what happens, what gets done to create it? What happens when we throw it out, and how it impacts the environment. And I just remember it was such an impactful video. I love it. I don't know if it's still there or not. Oh, yeah, the story of stuff is bigger and better than other ever. Annie Lampard, I think, was the woman who started at first animation.

00:24:33.390 --> 00:24:54.439 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: And she that really kick my butt to get into gear even in. I think it was 2,007, maybe that first came out. It's in my book actually, and it's one of the resources in my book, the story of stuff. I'm: so glad you brought that up, because that in in like 20 min that just pretty much sums it up. So people watch that video. It's it's fantastic.

00:24:54.450 --> 00:24:55.960 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: So

00:24:56.100 --> 00:25:00.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yeah, I I I so how did you get to Alaska? Why, Alaska?

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:17.639 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Well, when I got I finally graduated college, and when I was 25 at the time I had an organic farm with my pseudo husband. We got married in the barn under with no no religious or no, you know minister meeting shiny papers. But we had a big barn wedding.

00:25:17.650 --> 00:25:26.959 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and with goats in the barn, and about 100 people. And then we decided before we went back to Maine, the east coast. We were thinking we were going to move to Maine.

00:25:27.060 --> 00:25:42.010 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and start a like Ellen and Helen and Scott nearing the Good life. Who are another people that I write about in my book but Helen Scott nearing they they just were incredible role models for me and my my first love

00:25:42.060 --> 00:25:43.720 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and

00:25:43.740 --> 00:25:50.509 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: But we but before we went and did that. We wanted to go and see Alaska because we were farming in Olympia, Washington. I graduated

00:25:50.520 --> 00:26:04.019 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: evergreen State College, so we went to from Evergreen State College, with a degree in social ecology, a 1,972 laundry truck that we converted into a bakery on wheels and a camper.

00:26:04.030 --> 00:26:27.659 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and we drove to Alaska, and this is 1982, and I was 24. I arrived in Alaska, one on my 20 fifth birthday. We bought a business license with our last, like $50 we had, and we filled the tank of gas with the other 25 for the business license 25 to get the tank of gas. We literally baked our way to Alaska. We didn't have enough fast money to get where we're going, and

00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:37.630 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: So we got to Homer, Alaska, and it's one of the most beautiful places in the world. Put it on your bucket list, people, but unfortunately too many people have found it.

00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:48.400 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and I I had to leave because it was too crazy busy there. But it's a beautiful place, and that's where I got really in touch with my wilderness. But i'm 25 years old, leaving

00:26:48.450 --> 00:26:49.890 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: leaving Jersey

00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:59.440 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: even even in the United States. Basically that's what I wanted to get as far away from this unattainable, unsustainable American journey, where I could still speak

00:26:59.600 --> 00:27:03.289 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: English because i'm dyslexic, and I have a hard time learning

00:27:03.320 --> 00:27:14.759 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: new languages, which I'm very proud of, being dyslexic and writing written 6 books now. So i'm pretty. You can all we can all overcome those painful things right? Detoxing odds

00:27:14.820 --> 00:27:18.529 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Your story in your book, which I loved

00:27:18.550 --> 00:27:22.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so so. What wasn't about Alaska that got you to stay there for so long?

00:27:23.040 --> 00:27:32.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because I mean you. You seem to love to camping and do stuff outdoors, Alaska. You can't do that most of the year, right? It's pretty cold there, very, very cold.

00:27:32.820 --> 00:27:48.590 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: But there there were in Homer there were less than 2,000 people downtown wasn't, even a paved road. There were bald eagles greeting us as soon as we came over the ridge, and then I found out it because there was a landfill there, and the eagles love our P. They like to.

00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:49.610 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: you know

00:27:50.870 --> 00:27:52.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: they love that stuff.

00:27:52.590 --> 00:28:12.010 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: so anyway we it it was. It's just I was so just took my breath away. But one of the main reasons besides the beauty and the wildlife and the clean air and the clean water was the amount of the like population. Density was so

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:25.609 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: nothing like i'd never experienced. There were more moose that people on the State there were only at the time maybe 300,000 people in the whole State, and most of them were in anchorage, and

00:28:25.790 --> 00:28:36.689 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: politically. I thought I could make a change here. I wanted to protect the last frontier and heightened people's awareness to wilderness, and do anything I could

00:28:36.930 --> 00:28:49.339 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: as a citizen, and then maybe get in even into politics. Then I found out how Republican the State was, and and in jive there. But I, you know sometimes, you know we're in your a big pitch

00:28:49.420 --> 00:28:56.389 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: in a in a small pond. You know it kind of felt like that. You You could be seen right and in.

00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:01.910 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I know a lot of people can relate to this. You know. It's just like you know. How are you seeing?

00:29:02.420 --> 00:29:04.300 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: How does it feel to be seen.

00:29:04.580 --> 00:29:06.899 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: And what what do you want to show?

00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:09.300 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: And I really

00:29:09.710 --> 00:29:15.330 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I was a voice for nature, and I was living in the heart of nature and

00:29:15.810 --> 00:29:16.960 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: people

00:29:17.310 --> 00:29:34.489 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: we're, you know, heating with wood and hauling water a lot. we was really the last frontier 1,982 in New York City was a whole different place, and I like to tell people, because I grew up in New Jersey, the extreme of being

00:29:34.620 --> 00:29:43.939 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: in Manhattan and and just Jersey and all of that intensity. Yeah, and very industrial, very built up, very, very.

00:29:44.060 --> 00:30:01.859 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: but very, very polluted. But but but but the reason why I, someone like me to thrive, or other people who came from these big metropolitan areas is because it's just as intense in a different way. I mean it's dark all day in the winter light, all night in the in the summer you know the city that never sleeps.

00:30:02.210 --> 00:30:16.869 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: the the different kinds of the Northern Lights instead of the city lights. There were a lot of interesting parallels. You'd be really surprised. Interesting. It was the extreme that I yeah extreme opposite.

00:30:17.010 --> 00:30:28.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Got it. Got it all right. We gotta take our next break when we come back. I want to find out. How did you end up in Hawaii from Alaska. Talk about extremes going from one extreme to another, and then let's talk about, you know.

00:30:28.590 --> 00:30:49.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Soil to soul principles, and what does it mean to really understand and live with the soil and how important it is.

00:33:06.420 --> 00:33:25.589 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: you know a lot of people's careers right are 1720 years. But I was coming back and forth to Hawaii because it's kind of like the Florida, of New York, right in New York and Florida, everybody but Chick Copa plan. So that was the closest warm place, and also the most beautiful place next to Homer, Alaska.

00:33:25.610 --> 00:33:33.769 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and so I was coming here, and in 2,004 we we actually bought a a home, a small house here, and I was doing the

00:33:33.780 --> 00:33:46.039 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: snow bird thing, our son. And so I was building a tribe and a family here on the so it wasn't an an abrupt change. It was something that had been building for a while.

00:33:46.230 --> 00:33:54.290 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Yeah, which i'd like to think of as a good way to detox, too, right.

00:33:54.350 --> 00:33:58.630 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: you know. And and so, yeah, we we I

00:33:58.740 --> 00:34:00.439 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I had a

00:34:00.910 --> 00:34:13.899 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: fallen in and had a miscarriage before my first son was born 30 years ago, and it affected my spine, and you know I was cold all the time.

00:34:14.170 --> 00:34:25.230 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and even in my bakery in my cafe, which was the first natural foods bakery, and we were serving organic local food in the 19 eighties. Believe it or not.

00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:52.449 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: we, you know it was very, really hard on me. The winters especially, and even the summers. You know, you guys, summer here is like, you know, hot days 70 degrees, and here I I i'm so much healthier. So every time we go to. Why, that pain like you speak about that physical payment. Go away, and when the physical pain goes away, you know mentally you lose that fog brain you you feel so much better. You you're able to be more present, more focused.

00:34:52.460 --> 00:35:00.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Was Was it difficult to let go of Alaska after so many years? Or were you ready for the change to to completely move to? Why.

00:35:00.640 --> 00:35:04.139 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I was ready to completely move. And here's why.

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:05.370 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Because

00:35:05.600 --> 00:35:16.190 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: just like you and I were talking earlier, like about death and dying, and all that. You never let go of something that you love. And so that part of me is so alive, so alive that it's.

00:35:16.430 --> 00:35:26.919 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: You know I wrote I. My book is a lot about my journey, but anytime I want to transport, or to bring any of those feelings or emotions.

00:35:27.090 --> 00:35:44.509 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: You know we still have friends who come visit us. it's a beautiful thing to keep beautiful things alive, and to be able to bury like I said earlier, compost what doesn't serve us and nourish? What does, and the cold weather and the politics in Alaska. We're getting

00:35:44.520 --> 00:35:48.959 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: very disjointed. you know.

00:35:49.140 --> 00:36:01.130 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I like diversity in the environment, in the ecosystem in the population. It's one of the things I loved about New York. Yes, and you know it was it. It was being

00:36:01.350 --> 00:36:05.710 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: very homogenized, like a lot of like the division that we're seeing.

00:36:05.860 --> 00:36:16.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And here in Hawaii. I'm. A minority, and I love it. Yeah, I often say to people, you know, when I go to a meeting or something.

00:36:16.660 --> 00:36:30.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: if everybody is is all Caucasian. I don't feel comfortable because I grew up in the Bronx, and i'm used to having all different shapes and colors and size and ethnic backgrounds all around me ever since.

00:36:30.290 --> 00:36:42.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know High School Early High School, Junior High School, you know I was just used to it, and so when I go to a place, and there's not diversity. It actually feels uncomfortable to me.

00:36:42.630 --> 00:37:01.409 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and that's what's happening to the earth like coming back to, not living like the future matters when you have that the only time you have a healthy ecosystem is when there is diversity, when there is that biodiversity, and otherwise you you have constant ravaging happening and conflict, and

00:37:01.450 --> 00:37:10.260 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: people competing rather than co-creating and collaborating and so you know when you you kind of asked earlier, you know, like

00:37:10.300 --> 00:37:25.659 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: what what I do or why I do. This is because i'm a voice for nature. I learn this everything that we're talking about, all we have to do like Buddha did is sit under a tree, and you'll see, and you'll feel if you take the time to observe and to watch around you.

00:37:25.740 --> 00:37:36.800 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: E, even in a tree. It has a whole ecosystem. You can be walking, I I mean. I still love Central Park, and why we go to Manhattan, and I I I can tell you how many times I walk through that park when I was.

00:37:36.810 --> 00:37:50.780 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: you know, as a teenager, and felt safe back then right, and you know they did. I mean I I know most people listening to that know that that's a man-made park that whole thing was created. and it has one of the most

00:37:51.130 --> 00:37:59.920 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: prolific bird migration in the world right through Central Park. And so many people don't even know that. How amazing, how genius

00:38:00.120 --> 00:38:08.150 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and how different the world would be if we put parks like that everywhere now, and we cleaned up the parking lots, and we

00:38:08.190 --> 00:38:37.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: stopped paving Paradise. Yes, yes, absolutely. Stop putting up those malls and let's create more natural spaces. And so that's a lot of what your work is right. It's helping people to reconnect to the soil, to reconnect to nature. I mean, things have changed a lot over the last 30 40 years. Do you find people are truly ready to reconnect to nature? Or are people much more open to

00:38:37.120 --> 00:38:40.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: these kinds of conversations compared to 30 years ago?

00:38:41.780 --> 00:38:49.160 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: This is a like a gigantic question, because we're going on almost 8 billion people in the world. So I would say, there's a very, very

00:38:49.560 --> 00:39:07.890 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: beautiful growing trend, just like the background behind you and even mine. You know they're rating at radiating out and doing a show like what you're doing, helping people find their consciousness. My show a dose of positivity had the we are having an impact, and we it's. It's really in my world

00:39:08.310 --> 00:39:27.389 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: the world that I live in. We're all doing it because does it? It's it's kind of like this ecosystem. And so what I do is that I inspire people like a pebble, and is still pond to radiate that out. And so there's this energy. There's this wave of consciousness, and miracles are happening every day.

00:39:27.600 --> 00:39:44.960 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and I see, even in the inner cities people putting in vertical gardens, rooftop gardens. Their people are, you know, Banning Star phones about freaking time, you know, whatever it is, but there's we don't. We we each day, taking it

00:39:45.160 --> 00:39:59.459 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: off the super like official level, and bringing it to a more spiritual, more balanced, and more awakened level. Like I always give the example. My living like the future matters when I eat it, drink out of my my tea cup or my coffee cup, has my name on it even

00:39:59.470 --> 00:40:09.469 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: was made by one of my customers in Alaska almost 40 years ago, 36 years ago. He made this cup one for me. And My husband has a little chip on it even

00:40:09.730 --> 00:40:26.189 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: am I? And i'm drinking organic fair trade coffee right now out of it, or am I going to Starbucks, or some other place, and drinking non-organic coffee in a paper cup with a plastic lid. What? How, my it? Which way of my living like just

00:40:27.170 --> 00:40:31.379 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: every step of the way is this a soil to soul relationship?

00:40:31.520 --> 00:40:35.890 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: So so when you go into the store

00:40:35.940 --> 00:40:49.260 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and you buying groceries and you're not shopping on just the 4 corners like Michael Pollen recommends us to right, and you're going through the aisles, and there's boxes and plastic, and all this stuff. So next time you pick it up everybody

00:40:49.660 --> 00:40:55.809 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: ask the question. Just one question: is this living like the future matters? That's all you have to do.

00:40:55.870 --> 00:40:58.229 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It is living like the future matters

00:40:58.420 --> 00:41:08.290 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: when I do anything, am I eating like the future matters? Am I working like in future matters like you said earlier, when you're not being your true self your authentic self.

00:41:09.580 --> 00:41:10.930 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Who are you being?

00:41:11.020 --> 00:41:13.619 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Is this the kind of work you want to do?

00:41:14.900 --> 00:41:17.330 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Is your work contributing

00:41:18.190 --> 00:41:19.089 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: 2,

00:41:19.300 --> 00:41:23.659 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: living like the future matters future generations, making people feel

00:41:24.050 --> 00:41:28.649 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: their their best selves in your presence. And this is

00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:33.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: probably more important now than it's ever been before.

00:41:33.230 --> 00:41:52.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and I I I've had an a couple of shows, and I recently had on a an author, Daniel Pinch back, who talks a lot about the ecological crisis that we're facing, and how you know it's kind of insane in some ways that we're not responding to

00:41:52.690 --> 00:41:58.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: climate change. We're not responding to the pollution in the world as as

00:41:59.270 --> 00:42:08.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: as necessarily as as we we really could be, because this is an existential threat. This is something that you know

00:42:09.410 --> 00:42:22.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the whole future of civilization really depends on. Yet we're treating it like something we don't really have to deal with. And we do don't, we?

00:42:22.810 --> 00:42:34.040 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Yeah, okay. The same thing with with your spirit, you know, when when you're soulless, you gutless right now we are gutting the soil. We have 60 years, Max, of formable soil left.

00:42:34.610 --> 00:42:46.029 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: because here's the thing that I think is so important about. That is the we you just said, we're doing this. We're doing that, and how we gonna make a difference. It's because

00:42:47.070 --> 00:42:48.660 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: i'm not doing that.

00:42:49.040 --> 00:43:05.909 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I'm not living like that. I'm not a a a CEO of the corporation, or working in a company that's greenwashing. I'm not doing that. I'm educating. So i'm not part of that. We and I urge everybody who, listening to this, if they really want to have an impact in the world. Don't, be part of the way.

00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:11.090 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Find a way out of the we and and become a collective

00:43:11.170 --> 00:43:13.540 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: of consciousness versus

00:43:13.620 --> 00:43:17.929 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: feeling like you're part of the problem be part of what I say, and I coined this word

00:43:18.110 --> 00:43:27.529 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: solution. So ul be a solutionist. A solution is putting duct tape on the kid's mouth, throw them in the closet. They're quiet.

00:43:27.630 --> 00:43:49.669 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: We want soulful solutions that have long term effects that's gonna have an impact for your children's children's children, and like the Iroquois Indians 7 generations, we got to think beyond 7 generations, putting yourself in that we category. Well, I like to use we because I like to take responsibility

00:43:49.690 --> 00:44:01.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because I feel like, if I take responsibility. For my part, then I can change my impact. I can change my part, and by changing my part, i'm affecting the whole.

00:44:01.600 --> 00:44:11.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so I don't look at it as a as a oh, i'm part of the problem. No, i'm responsible so that I can make a change in the change I make

00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:30.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: has an impact. So let's hold it there for the moment. We got to take our last break of the show. So when we come back, let's talk about a little bit more. Of what can people do today? People living in cities, living in suburbs, or even living in rural areas. What can we do today to make more of an impact? Okay.

00:44:30.180 --> 00:44:39.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I love it.

00:46:47.230 --> 00:46:52.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and welcome back to the conscious, consulting our awakening humanity. So, Donna.

00:46:53.050 --> 00:46:55.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we've identified the challenge.

00:46:56.280 --> 00:47:22.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What do we do about it? I mean it. This is the thing that I feel like. I really want to empower people, because sometimes, especially, you live in a big city like New York in the middle of Manhattan. Or maybe you're in La or Chicago or Miami, you know. What can you do? And and even if you're not living in a big city, maybe you're living in a suburb, or maybe even a rural area. There's still things that we can all do

00:47:22.340 --> 00:47:26.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to live more closely to the soil that aren't there.

00:47:26.500 --> 00:47:28.510 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Oh, my goodness, yes.

00:47:28.980 --> 00:47:38.210 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: so I'm really glad we're we're closing with this question. This is so important, and I want to go over 3 things that I can, that that people can easily

00:47:38.240 --> 00:47:45.640 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: digest. And and the first is personal responsibility in taking care of your health.

00:47:46.600 --> 00:47:50.010 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I can't emphasize this enough, because

00:47:50.350 --> 00:47:52.859 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: first of all we know, health is our greatest wealth.

00:47:53.030 --> 00:47:57.859 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and the healthier we are, the clearer our minds are, and then we have the ability

00:47:58.780 --> 00:48:11.710 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and can take the responsibility to get to do everything we're doing. So it starts kind of like at the beginning of our conversation, detoxing, we're all like this is explosion happening in each and every one of us. Nobody here

00:48:11.860 --> 00:48:19.309 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: listening to this program or any of the great shows that you have on on your show. Sam want

00:48:19.350 --> 00:48:24.160 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: the world to collapse. Nobody wants an Omega right? Right?

00:48:24.330 --> 00:48:29.440 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: So the healthier we are, the more resilient we are just like everything in Nature teaches us.

00:48:29.460 --> 00:48:35.819 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: And what does we need in nature? We need clean air, clean water. We need the nutrients. 80% of what

00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:42.760 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: keeps this world healthy as the soil, and we don't see it's beneath our feet.

00:48:43.270 --> 00:49:01.710 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Sequesters Carbon is full of microorganisms that absorb and and and take care of nasty bacteria and viruses when it's healthy. My book Conscious cures You guys got to read that book, anyway. so health detox. Get get clear. Take care of yourself Take time for self love self

00:49:01.720 --> 00:49:04.410 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: self-

00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:07.080 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: because you care

00:49:07.220 --> 00:49:08.270 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: because

00:49:08.690 --> 00:49:10.040 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: you are worthy.

00:49:11.230 --> 00:49:13.189 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: So that's number one.

00:49:13.500 --> 00:49:19.630 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: and that could take a couple of weeks. You can change your whole microbiome in 2 or 3 weeks.

00:49:19.820 --> 00:49:21.960 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: It's that simple.

00:49:22.130 --> 00:49:25.749 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: It can seem really hard because of the addiction

00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:30.659 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: that we have to process foods, alcohol, cooking, sex. Whatever your addiction is.

00:49:31.020 --> 00:49:33.190 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: we all got one

00:49:33.250 --> 00:49:34.500 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: because we're empty.

00:49:35.130 --> 00:49:40.229 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: because society has told us we're empty, and that we need these things that make us unhealthy.

00:49:41.350 --> 00:49:44.419 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: So it's very, very important for all of us

00:49:44.470 --> 00:50:01.139 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: to come to terms with that that that our self-worth to come to terms, that we are not society just getting back to your beautiful words earlier, Sam, that we that pain we're feeling is not getting in touch with us. Who we are.

00:50:01.930 --> 00:50:02.859 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: So

00:50:02.910 --> 00:50:11.800 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: taking care of. Our health is number one. Number 2 is nature, because the closer we get to nature, the closer we get to our true nature.

00:50:12.740 --> 00:50:40.400 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: spending time in nature every day. I don't care if there's a blizzard outside. That's why you bought that $200, Patagonia coat, or those boots that you never wear, because it's too frick and cold out, even though they're good for below 0. But you don't want to put them on. So many people have a closet full of clothes that they could weatherize themselves to get out in nature and catch a snowflake on their tongue, or get out and take a show. A shower in in in a, in a rainstorm. If you're in a tropical place like I love to do.

00:50:40.410 --> 00:50:41.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hmm.

00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:53.230 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: I really encourage people not to be afraid of the elements, I mean Don't go out in a hurricane, or, you know, cyclone, but experience nature not. Occasionally. Every

00:50:53.730 --> 00:50:55.230 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: they hugg a tree.

00:50:55.410 --> 00:51:10.589 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: open the window in your house, even if it's cold and let the air come in, and if it's too polluted, then get on a group and a a task force that's cleaning up there in your city, and and and tell them why you're there. Because you want to be all over the Open your window, participate.

00:51:10.600 --> 00:51:23.930 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: which brings me to the next thing, because nature is the ultimate healer. Nature is the ultimate teacher, because it's here long before humans. So it's some one up on us. We think we have one up on nature. But guess what

00:51:24.390 --> 00:51:27.610 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: the last is community because unity

00:51:28.010 --> 00:51:29.469 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: in community

00:51:30.100 --> 00:51:31.109 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: builds

00:51:31.380 --> 00:51:32.520 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: immunity.

00:51:32.680 --> 00:51:33.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hmm.

00:51:33.600 --> 00:51:46.329 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: And that brings us back to diversity, into biodiversity, to healthy soil, to soul quality. The interconnection, like you said: When you go into a meeting you don't feel comfortable when you're in the only white dude in the room.

00:51:47.120 --> 00:52:01.809 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Nobody does. If they do, they're sterile and shouldn't be running the meeting, or be it's that's the scary thing. so we won't. Get in the politics of that.

00:52:01.820 --> 00:52:11.250 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: But unity and community builds our immunity, and when you are part of the help, the microbiome in that community because you've taken the time to take care of your health.

00:52:11.830 --> 00:52:13.510 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: You've taken your time, too.

00:52:13.950 --> 00:52:16.800 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: Get back to nature because the closer we get to nature.

00:52:17.540 --> 00:52:20.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So we get to our true nature, and then we

00:52:20.840 --> 00:52:22.690 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: was without nature, without

00:52:22.940 --> 00:52:25.919 Donna Maltz - Soil To Soul Solutions: a healthy earth. We don't have pandemics.
