Felicia Sheppard, a skilled massage therapist, thought she had her life together, until she found herself trapped in a toxic, controlling relationship that left her feeling lost, drained, and broken.

00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:01.390 Jacinta Yang: Puts an effect on the relationship.
00:12:02.190 --> 00:12:04.740 Jacinta Yang: And then, sometimes, relationship.
00:12:05.010 --> 00:12:09.799 Jacinta Yang: Deteriorate just because of the fact that we're not really speaking.
00:12:09.990 --> 00:12:11.580 Jacinta Yang: What's in our heart?

00:02:16.790 --> 00:02:25.850 Jacinta Yang: to take the journey that they can take, that you are taking. Can you, please tell… tell us a little bit about yourself, your work.
00:02:26.100 --> 00:02:32.910 Jacinta Yang: And what inspired you to go on this healing journey with me. I know you mentioned that
00:02:33.230 --> 00:02:46.530 Jacinta Yang: A while ago, your co-worker said to you, you lost your glow or your spark, and then just after 2 sessions, and she said, you got your spark back, please tell us
00:02:46.590 --> 00:02:54.939 Jacinta Yang: your journey before you started your healing journey with me, and a little bit about yourself, what you do, where people can reach you. Thank you.
00:02:55.300 --> 00:03:00.830 Felicia: Aw, thank you so much, Jacinta, for having me on… on set with you. It's definitely…
00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:13.799 Felicia: exciting to be here with you today. My background is in massage therapy, and what brought me to you was, I was in a relationship that ended up being really.
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.950 Jacinta Yang: abusive and controlling, and I noticed that.
00:03:18.190 --> 00:03:22.250 Felicia: With interacting with this person, it allowed me to…
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.910 Felicia: I felt really dull, like, I felt like… Can you hear me?
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:28.940 Jacinta Yang: Lovely.
00:03:28.940 --> 00:03:30.229 Felicia: Beautiful. Okay.
00:03:30.340 --> 00:03:35.060 Felicia: Interacting with this person, it…
00:03:38.930 --> 00:03:40.980 Felicia: Pretty much, like, crushed my spirit.
00:03:41.160 --> 00:03:43.080 Felicia: To say that… to say the least.
00:03:43.220 --> 00:03:47.819 Felicia: Where… You don't think the same way, you don't operate the same way.
00:03:47.930 --> 00:03:51.489 Felicia: And I noticed it, and it wasn't that it just…
00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:58.189 Felicia: I wasn't the only one that noticed it. My coworkers noticed it, some of my patients noticed it, family, friends, and…
00:03:59.470 --> 00:04:03.570 Felicia: I felt inside myself that something wasn't right, right? Something was wrong.
00:04:03.750 --> 00:04:09.440 Felicia: And even coming from a healing background myself, there was…
00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:20.259 Felicia: there's some times where the healer also needs to be healed, right? And really deciphering for myself what area I need to…
00:04:20.440 --> 00:04:27.119 Felicia: To focus, and… Through a colleague of mine, she did recommend, you know, coming to see you.
00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:31.159 Felicia: And I'm very happy that I did. Very, very, very happy that I did.
00:04:31.390 --> 00:04:32.180 Felicia: Wallet.
00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:46.129 Jacinta Yang: I'm glad she did, and interestingly, I don't even know her, I have not even met her, and I'm amazed that she actually heard about me and recommended me to you, even though she has a friend who does Reiki.
00:04:46.420 --> 00:05:03.599 Jacinta Yang: Yeah. And, you mentioned that you didn't imagine the process of getting your spark back was, so fast. I mean, I think in just 2 weeks. So can you tell me why do you think that is? Is it because I'm hard on you with the homework?
00:05:04.530 --> 00:05:18.379 Felicia: No, I think you definitely come from a perspective of, experience, and then come from a perspective of love, and it's tough love, because you're pushing through uncomfortable, I guess.
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.429 Felicia: Feelings, uncomfortable emotions, uncomfortable,
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:37.189 Felicia: You're like that guide that guides you through the uncomfortable trail and path, but as you go through, like, you're providing that light, that clarity, that understanding that everybody needs to better, you know, give them the tools to…
00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:46.780 Felicia: To stand firm in their situation, standing up for themselves, building their strength back, building their confidence, and being able to heal and navigate the situation that
00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:51.509 Felicia: Most people don't have the education to do, like, even coming from a healing background, like.
00:05:51.620 --> 00:05:58.669 Felicia: You could also… you could heal somebody, but even though you know the situation, it's like you're trying to navigate a situation in the dark yourself.
00:05:58.780 --> 00:06:04.440 Felicia: Right? So having another guiding light through the situation is… Definitely a gift.
00:06:05.380 --> 00:06:07.480 Felicia: Something to definitely be appreciated.
00:06:08.660 --> 00:06:14.329 Jacinta Yang: Thank you, I'm glad that, you found it helpful. Actually, I am… I am, like,
00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:21.420 Jacinta Yang: I do give tough love to my clients. I say, you know, I'll take you on as a client as long as you're willing to do the homework.
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:35.140 Jacinta Yang: else it's not gonna work, and you're one of the really good students who really implement all the tools that was given to you right away, and I'm so glad that, you know, you found that
00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:45.570 Jacinta Yang: It really worked almost immediately. And, can you tell me a little bit about how you're implementing it every day in your life right now?
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.770 Felicia: Everything in my life, there's so many skills that you taught me so far that…
00:06:52.380 --> 00:06:56.419 Felicia: are invaluable, and I don't think I would have learned them anywhere else.
00:06:56.590 --> 00:07:06.189 Felicia: But one of the greatest ones is, like, the scans, the daily scans, to know, okay, what's your energy from somebody else's energy?
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:15.570 Felicia: How to block yourself from receiving negative energy, and especially with all that's going on right now in the world. Like, you know, really being able to decipher that.
00:07:15.940 --> 00:07:20.520 Felicia: And just really being attentive to yourself.
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:29.759 Felicia: And… giving yourself that self-confidence, that… the I am affirmations, and… Being attentive to…
00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:39.520 Felicia: those little things where you may have felt they may have been a backwards voice, but bringing that… that subconscious voice now to the forefront is like, okay, hey, listen, there's…
00:07:39.650 --> 00:07:45.039 Felicia: These things that you need to be attentive to, they're being said, they're being felt for a reason, right?
00:07:45.260 --> 00:07:46.390 Jacinta Yang: And…
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:47.840 Felicia: Yeah.
00:07:48.140 --> 00:07:51.219 Felicia: The body scan, the attentiveness, and…
00:07:51.880 --> 00:07:57.959 Felicia: Giving that small voice, that voice inside your heart, a louder… a louder microphone.
00:07:58.860 --> 00:08:05.849 Jacinta Yang: as you know, from my YouTube, content, the different little, little bits and bits of,
00:08:06.070 --> 00:08:14.910 Jacinta Yang: tools there. Now, you've been, listening to them and using them in your… can you tell me how that has been helpful for you?
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:22.370 Felicia: It's… you do definitely give the homework to, like, you know, listen to your YouTube videos,
00:08:22.610 --> 00:08:25.790 Felicia: One of the ones that I was really…
00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:33.120 Felicia: I guess, inspired by, or, like, really had to play over and over is the self-love, the self-care.
00:08:33.330 --> 00:08:38.729 Felicia: And, again, like I said, it just brings back that awareness to self, like, you know, we are…
00:08:39.179 --> 00:08:51.360 Felicia: you're deserving of love, you're deserving of this, all the things that you did not get in… from other people, you're now starting to feed it to yourself, right? And recognizing that
00:08:51.540 --> 00:09:00.199 Felicia: you're worthy of all these things, right? And you don't have to depend on other people to get it for you, that you can get it and build that… those things inside self.
00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:01.700 Jacinta Yang: Right? And…
00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:05.400 Felicia: The more consistency with applying them.
00:09:05.870 --> 00:09:12.600 Felicia: The more you realize, okay, it works, you're creating that consciousness and that mindset in order to do it.
00:09:12.970 --> 00:09:13.770 Felicia: And…
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:30.800 Felicia: you feel the difference sooner. Like, if you, again, don't do your homework, you're not going to get the education that comes from being attentive and doing your homework, so doing your homework on that regular basis creates that constant programming in your mind to say, okay, this is…
00:09:31.060 --> 00:09:38.330 Felicia: This is what needs to be done, this is how you need to be thinking, this is how you need to be operating, and this is how you need to have a perspective going forward in life.
00:09:39.650 --> 00:09:49.070 Jacinta Yang: So, tell me, you're a massage therapist. What actually drew you to the energy healing? What made you feel that you needed the energy healing?
00:09:49.810 --> 00:09:51.369 Jacinta Yang: And to find me.
00:09:52.020 --> 00:09:57.460 Felicia: Well, being a massage therapist, you work with people's physical bodies, right? You're constantly in contact, so…
00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:07.509 Felicia: You have your own energy that you dispense, but then you also have the energy of people that you do tend to pick up at times, especially if, like, you know, people aren't well, or they're in pain, or something to that effect.
00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:27.249 Felicia: it's hard to help people if you're not in a good space, right? I do like my job… love my job, but, like, I love helping people. Likewise, like, you need, there is definitely a glow and a benefit of being able to reach out and help somebody through their journey of whatever they're going through.
00:10:27.390 --> 00:10:34.530 Felicia: But… It's hard to do your job effectively if you're… the physician themselves are not in the greatest space.
00:10:34.650 --> 00:10:35.610 Felicia: So…
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.719 Felicia: I realize it's not a physical ailment, it's not like, okay, I hurt my shoulder, it's not like, you know.
00:10:42.410 --> 00:10:55.140 Felicia: something's wrong with my brain. It's… you look for the right practitioner to help you with the issue that you need, and I've been introduced, or heard about, I guess, being in the holistic field.
00:10:55.440 --> 00:11:05.310 Felicia: of Reiki therapy, and when… I started to literally feel, after, you know, interacting with the
00:11:05.810 --> 00:11:08.799 Felicia: the ex that I was with, and all the…
00:11:08.910 --> 00:11:25.469 Felicia: the negativity and all that stuff, I'm like, it does… it created a whirlwind of environment of negativity, and that stuff, it kind of, like, sticks to you, right? And even when you're no longer around that person, or you're no longer in that direct space, it still kind of trickles off.
00:11:25.510 --> 00:11:28.609 Jacinta Yang: And rubs off, I guess you could say, and…
00:11:30.050 --> 00:11:38.490 Felicia: I'm like, okay, well, I need to get it off. How do you get it off? How do you get this energy cleared? How do you get this energy out of your space, out of your bubble, and…
00:11:38.650 --> 00:11:40.950 Felicia: I'm like… Reiki.
00:11:41.070 --> 00:11:43.250 Felicia: Right? Reiki is a place where…
00:11:43.770 --> 00:11:51.639 Felicia: It's a pr- like a practitioner, it's like, it's focused on your body, but as an energetic body rather than a physical body.
00:11:51.640 --> 00:11:52.730 Jacinta Yang: Emotional.
00:11:52.730 --> 00:11:54.150 Felicia: Emotional, yes.
00:11:54.500 --> 00:12:03.939 Jacinta Yang: So, I know right, after a couple of your sessions, you encountered a very scary situation with your ex stalking you.
00:12:03.990 --> 00:12:15.129 Jacinta Yang: And, you mentioned you were able to handle it differently. Can you tell me how was it different, and what if you didn't start your journey.
00:12:15.310 --> 00:12:17.719 Jacinta Yang: How do you think you would have reacted?
00:12:19.010 --> 00:12:26.380 Felicia: Yeah, it was actually quite a scary situation, and I'm actually very grateful that I started the program with you, because
00:12:26.490 --> 00:12:33.440 Felicia: It would have definitely gone a lot differently, but… when he… so…
00:12:33.970 --> 00:12:38.689 Felicia: like you said, like, we separated everything, and then he did try to, I guess.
00:12:39.010 --> 00:12:52.239 Felicia: in the process of me building myself back up, and like, you know, like you said, a lot of people in your past are gonna start to come back, because now you're no longer attached to them, and you're starting to build back up, like you said, get my spark back.
00:12:52.400 --> 00:12:56.150 Felicia: And he then tried to approach,
00:12:57.100 --> 00:13:11.100 Felicia: And I was able to, with strength, mitigate the situation, do what needed to be done, like, you know, contact the proper authorities, reach out to family, friends, village, people around me for support and protection to make sure that
00:13:11.390 --> 00:13:14.969 Felicia: My safety was definitely the number one priority.
00:13:15.070 --> 00:13:17.130 Felicia: And… I think…
00:13:17.210 --> 00:13:30.079 Felicia: on the flip side, if I didn't have that confidence and I wasn't starting the healing journey and putting myself as priority by my safety, you know, that I'm deserving of love and not deserving of the harsh treatment, I probably would have
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:42.460 Felicia: allowed him to come back and, like, you know, state his peace, or whatever he wanted to say, and would have put myself, again, back in that whirlwind of danger and chaos, right? But…
00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:51.689 Felicia: building… starting to build myself up, realizing that, okay, there is a difference when I'm separated from you, and I don't have to be a part of that chaos, and creating that peace for myself.
00:13:51.970 --> 00:14:00.460 Felicia: that I don't want to invite that back in, creating those borders, like, not only emotionally, physically, like, in everything else, to make sure that
00:14:00.670 --> 00:14:03.350 Felicia: That type of mentality stays away.
00:14:04.630 --> 00:14:18.410 Jacinta Yang: So would you say that having done the journey, even though it was only a too short session, but it gave you that confidence to recognize that you are important, and then have the confidence to,
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.109 Jacinta Yang: To, contact the authorities.
00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:24.000 Jacinta Yang: Dude.
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:24.700 Felicia: I would…
00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:33.060 Jacinta Yang: you know, make your police report. I think we'll be going into a minute break, maybe. After that, we can, pick up that, story from there.
00:14:33.180 --> 00:14:36.400 Jacinta Yang: So, we should be going to break shortly.
00:16:45.660 --> 00:17:01.180 Jacinta Yang: Welcome back to Beneath the Calm. Thank you, Felicia, for joining us today. Just before you came on, I was talking about encouraging people to take that first step, come out of their comfort zone.
00:17:01.250 --> 00:17:05.690 Jacinta Yang: To, take the step to heal, and,
00:17:05.950 --> 00:17:10.090 Jacinta Yang: Get them to where they need to be in a happier place.
00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:24.649 Jacinta Yang: Now, we were just before the break, we were just talking about how, having gone through the journey, it helped, build your confidence, and also become more self-aware, and knowing, you're important.
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:34.730 Jacinta Yang: And your health and wellness matters, your happiness matters. And so, in order to do that, you have to build boundaries.
00:17:34.970 --> 00:17:45.719 Jacinta Yang: And also, it took the courage to actually report the stalking to proper authority. Now, can you, paint us the picture of what that was like?
00:17:47.740 --> 00:17:56.749 Felicia: Of course, it's indefinitely, like, a very scary process, like, a very scary experience to go through, but…
00:17:57.650 --> 00:18:02.939 Felicia: With the building blocks that you gave me regarding, like, you know, boundaries.
00:18:03.410 --> 00:18:09.660 Felicia: Why they should be there, and how to put them up emotionally and mentally.
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:15.629 Felicia: It gave me… the confidence I needed to do what needed to be done.
00:18:15.760 --> 00:18:26.670 Felicia: Right? And that clarity without being swept up into the chaos of the emotions of the person that I was dealing with, put up those emotional boundaries to say, okay, hey, no.
00:18:27.650 --> 00:18:37.620 Felicia: I'm worthy of safety, I'm worthy to feel safe, I'm worthy to be loved, and these things are not reflective of love, right? And they are harmful.
00:18:38.030 --> 00:18:38.920 Felicia: So…
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:51.860 Felicia: With that confidence you have in yourself, even though in such a situation where you feel scared, you feel alone, like, you feel like at any point in time, this person could pop out of the bushes and attack you, or something to that effect.
00:18:52.120 --> 00:18:57.580 Felicia: like… You don't feel like, okay, a victim mentality. You feel empowered to do
00:18:58.450 --> 00:19:03.799 Felicia: whatever needs to be done, so when I was able to reach out to the police officers, I was able to
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:11.939 Felicia: have a level mentality or level mind to say, okay, hey, this is what I've seen, this is what I reported, and…
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:26.189 Felicia: able to, like, you know, document everything clearly, and not just be, I guess, in a tailspin of emotion, of anxiety, to say, okay, hey, this might happen, that might happen, but, like, no, I was able to be calm, you know, breathe, relax, and…
00:19:27.210 --> 00:19:27.980 Felicia: confidently.
00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:29.959 Jacinta Yang: Take the steps that you need to take.
00:19:30.150 --> 00:19:31.170 Felicia: Exactly.
00:19:31.330 --> 00:19:49.529 Jacinta Yang: Now, you know, I want to thank you for having the courage to come on here with me today, because, you know, Felicia, there are a lot of people that goes through the similar situation, being in a toxic relationship, being stalked, or being abused, and
00:19:49.580 --> 00:19:52.329 Jacinta Yang: A lot of times, people blame themselves
00:19:52.630 --> 00:19:55.209 Jacinta Yang: for what they're going through. So they…
00:19:55.360 --> 00:20:10.429 Jacinta Yang: they don't actually seek out help. And with you sharing your story of how you came out of it, and how you're handling it now, it, it will inspire people to know that, you know what, it's not my fault.
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:15.790 Jacinta Yang: And I need… I need to protect myself and seek help.
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:29.690 Jacinta Yang: And so I really want to thank you for that, and especially taking time off from your work right now, and taking a break, and I really appreciate that. I'm sure a lot of people out there
00:20:29.690 --> 00:20:39.320 Jacinta Yang: will appreciate this, time that you're giving to them for sharing your story. Now, what would you say to women
00:20:39.950 --> 00:20:43.449 Jacinta Yang: That are going through something similar.
00:20:46.550 --> 00:20:47.370 Felicia: Amen.
00:20:47.370 --> 00:20:47.840 Jacinta Yang: Amen.
00:20:48.760 --> 00:20:56.139 Felicia: or men, because it could… honestly, it could happen both ways. But especially to women.
00:20:56.590 --> 00:21:12.420 Felicia: I know in this world, like, it doesn't seem like we should have much of a voice regarding, like, you know, standing up for ourselves. We're, I guess, trained from a very young age to be very attentive to family, to friends, to our partner, to, you know, I guess, submit and give them what
00:21:12.510 --> 00:21:18.329 Felicia: they require, right? And sometimes at a cost of our own strength and our own, like, you know.
00:21:18.850 --> 00:21:22.619 Felicia: I guess, confidence, ability, and just a cost to ourselves, but…
00:21:23.150 --> 00:21:39.549 Felicia: One thing I would just empower every woman is that, like you said, like, you're valuable, your voice matters, your health matters, you as a person matter, right? Irrespective of, you know, the person that you're with in a relationship, or your kids, or in any environment that you're in.
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:41.959 Felicia: It is important that you are well.
00:21:42.080 --> 00:21:55.769 Felicia: to even be able to help anybody around you. So, making that… making sure that you're in a safe environment, that you're in a loving environment, and there's people around you that love and care about you to make sure to see that you're doing well.
00:21:55.930 --> 00:21:56.720 Felicia: Right?
00:21:57.460 --> 00:22:03.759 Felicia: Don't be shy, or don't feel any shame when you're in a situation that doesn't suit you, right?
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:09.519 Felicia: Be bold enough to say, okay, hey, this is not good for me, this is not well.
00:22:10.170 --> 00:22:22.999 Felicia: You know, endeavor on taking that healing journey, or whatever journey that you need to take to make sure that you're in the best place that you need to be for not only yourself, but your future, and the people around you, and the people that love you.
00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:34.219 Jacinta Yang: So, Felicia, we've gone into a month of your healing journey. In this month, would you say you felt supported?
00:22:34.370 --> 00:22:36.200 Jacinta Yang: Throughout your journey.
00:22:37.110 --> 00:22:41.050 Felicia: I definitely would say so, like, I have… It's…
00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:53.999 Felicia: It's very empowering to know, like, you feel like in the midst of the situation that you're all alone, and nobody cares about you, nobody loves you, all the things, all the negative things come swirl into your head, but as soon as you start to reach out for help.
00:22:54.110 --> 00:22:57.689 Felicia: Like, you'd be surprised how many people love and care
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:08.759 Felicia: to make sure that you're okay, you feel supported, and definitely with you, Jacinta, like, just, you know, coming to you and explaining my story and the situation, like.
00:23:08.950 --> 00:23:19.449 Felicia: constantly messaging me and checking up on me, or sending me videos and homework that shows that, you know, that you care and you want to make sure that I'm well.
00:23:19.450 --> 00:23:30.599 Felicia: Or even, like, family members, like, you know, now hearing the situation, or friends, it's like, okay, hey, like, they'll check in a little bit more than they normally would to say, okay, hey, how are you doing? How are you feeling today? Like, you know, did…
00:23:30.800 --> 00:23:46.719 Felicia: are you… did you eat today? Like, little stuff like that, but just eat the little stuff to show that, you know, they care about you, they care about your well-being. And that's the type of environment that anybody should want to be in, or should endeavor to be in, especially when you're going through a journey like this.
00:23:48.050 --> 00:24:07.040 Jacinta Yang: Yeah, I guess as an empath, it's both a gift and a curse, when you can sense people, what they're feeling, and when people are doing their healing journey with me, I can't help but be able to feel what's going on with them. So, I have to reach out and check up on you guys, as I said.
00:24:07.090 --> 00:24:12.630 Jacinta Yang: The healing journey is not only about the, the session…
00:24:12.780 --> 00:24:17.510 Jacinta Yang: time. It's outside of the session time. You have access to me.
00:24:18.060 --> 00:24:22.380 Jacinta Yang: And anytime you just feel like you need a… a support.
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:25.949 Felicia: I'll always be there, and I am there.
00:24:25.950 --> 00:24:35.820 Jacinta Yang: And this is what I offer to my clients, so they don't feel alone going through this journey. Now, you've also mentioned that,
00:24:36.190 --> 00:24:41.529 Jacinta Yang: you get more than your money's worth. Can you tell me a little bit about that, please?
00:24:43.020 --> 00:24:58.600 Felicia: Because it's not just, okay, you come in for a Reiki session, and then you leave, it's like, oh, I feel better, right? But having that access to you outside of that, and, you know, your plethora of amazing videos, like, you get a full-rounded education.
00:24:58.600 --> 00:25:00.339 Felicia: A full round of support.
00:25:00.340 --> 00:25:20.269 Felicia: Like, not just while you're there, but it's like you have, like, now another person in your life, in your village, that helps you navigate through this process, right? Which is more than you'd say for any much practitioners that are in daily juris. Like, if you go to your family doctor, you only interact with them while you're there, and then you leave. You have to do it all by yourself.
00:25:20.380 --> 00:25:28.950 Felicia: But having that additional support outside of just that session is a game changer in terms of
00:25:29.100 --> 00:25:40.519 Felicia: Getting more than your money's worth, because essentially your money's worth just pays for the time session, but the additional access to the information and the support that you get outside of that is just…
00:25:40.800 --> 00:25:44.739 Felicia: Nothing but a bonus, nothing but a blessing, to be honest.
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.240 Jacinta Yang: Thank you. We are going to go into a break right now.
00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:50.170 Jacinta Yang: And then we'll come back.
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:51.190 Felicia: Okay.
00:26:06.750 --> 00:26:07.430 Jacinta Yang: Huh?
00:26:26.460 --> 00:26:30.230 Jacinta Yang: So, I just want to say that anyone who
00:26:30.550 --> 00:26:39.759 Jacinta Yang: Feel that they need some help, and don't know how to, go about… Finding their way.
00:26:39.910 --> 00:26:42.260 Jacinta Yang: To get out of the situation.
00:26:42.600 --> 00:26:52.409 Jacinta Yang: Please… know that… There's many, many resources out there that you can search, or you can always
00:26:52.540 --> 00:27:00.819 Jacinta Yang: tune in or, connect with me, I'll be more than happy to help and guide you at any time.
00:27:01.110 --> 00:27:05.220 Jacinta Yang: And just so you know that you're not alone.
00:27:05.470 --> 00:27:09.889 Jacinta Yang: You have… So many support out there.
00:27:10.040 --> 00:27:14.589 Jacinta Yang: When you seek the support, you definitely will find them.
00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:21.319 Jacinta Yang: There are different resources, even for women, there's Women Support Network.
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:25.970 Jacinta Yang: Or you can always even go to YWCA,
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.710 Jacinta Yang: And for men, I think there's also YMCA. I have a…
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:38.870 Jacinta Yang: I have a contact, actually one of the contractors, who says he was also abused?
00:27:39.130 --> 00:27:44.050 Jacinta Yang: And, he was able to join in some of the programs.
00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:48.549 Jacinta Yang: So, just so you know that you're not alone.
00:27:48.750 --> 00:27:53.109 Jacinta Yang: There's so much out there, if you look for them.
00:27:58.040 --> 00:27:58.700 Jacinta Yang: Oh.
00:28:02.620 --> 00:28:03.300 Jacinta Yang: Oh.
00:28:08.970 --> 00:28:10.829 Jacinta Yang: I guess we still have a…
00:28:11.040 --> 00:28:16.309 Jacinta Yang: I was looking, I think we still have time, so maybe we can,
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:22.850 Jacinta Yang: Talk about how we can, you know, encourage people to take the,
00:28:22.990 --> 00:28:26.229 Jacinta Yang: Initiative to start the healing journey.
00:28:27.780 --> 00:28:28.960 Felicia: Definitely.
00:28:29.280 --> 00:28:33.789 Felicia: Honestly, I think everybody deserves…
00:28:34.190 --> 00:28:37.230 Felicia: To feel healed, to feel well.
00:28:37.430 --> 00:28:40.580 Felicia: To feel healthy, to feel safe.
00:28:40.990 --> 00:28:41.800 Felicia: Right?
00:28:41.890 --> 00:28:42.940 Felicia: And…
00:28:43.030 --> 00:29:00.350 Felicia: If anybody is ever in a situation where you don't feel like you're smiling, you don't feel happy, you don't feel like you're glowing, you don't feel like your usual self, whether it be from, again, in a relationship, from a job, or being in an environment, or just the stresses of everyday life, right?
00:29:00.380 --> 00:29:07.179 Felicia: I think everybody should be encouraged to, you know, seek out the proper help that you need to
00:29:07.420 --> 00:29:09.510 Felicia: To heal. To recover.
00:29:09.630 --> 00:29:12.550 Felicia: And, like you were saying before, just said that there's so many…
00:29:13.450 --> 00:29:28.549 Felicia: I guess, different avenues that you could reach out for help to support you in the healing journey. But definitely, you know, reaching out to you personally, Jacintha, as a reflexologist, as, like, you know, a Reiki healer.
00:29:28.910 --> 00:29:39.109 Felicia: for that support and that guidance all the way through, it makes a difference, like I said before, to go through a dark path or be in a dark space mentally, emotionally, physically, in any space.
00:29:39.210 --> 00:29:46.739 Felicia: And have that guiding light beside you to help guide you with every step, right? Whether it be, you know, the…
00:29:47.210 --> 00:29:51.039 Felicia: Block the boundaries that you now need to put up that weren't there before.
00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:59.919 Felicia: Whether it be, like, you know, doing the scans of your emotions, of your energy, to see, okay, hey, this is me, this is not me.
00:30:00.080 --> 00:30:10.589 Felicia: this is… or, you know, giving yourself, building yourself all those building blocks of, I am affirmations, like, you know, I am safe, I am enough, whatever it may be, but…
00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:15.809 Felicia: Everybody deserves to feel happy, to feel safe, to feel valued, to feel loved.
00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:16.910 Felicia: and…
00:30:17.220 --> 00:30:23.729 Felicia: endeavoring on that journey, and you won't regret a single day of it. As soon as you start, you're gonna feel…
00:30:24.370 --> 00:30:30.560 Felicia: That this is where I'm supposed to be, this is how I'm supposed to feel, and everybody deserves to feel that way.
00:30:30.810 --> 00:30:32.090 Felicia: indefinitely.
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:37.120 Jacinta Yang: I guess now we are going into a break. Okay.
00:32:24.450 --> 00:32:37.569 Jacinta Yang: Welcome back to Beneath the Calm. Thank you for joining us today. We're so grateful to have Felicia sharing her story. This space, Beneath the Calm.
00:32:37.780 --> 00:32:42.579 Jacinta Yang: a conversation about Life Matters is a place where
00:32:42.780 --> 00:32:46.889 Jacinta Yang: We share our story, share insights.
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:58.510 Jacinta Yang: and be able to navigate through life's challenges. And, you know, Felicia, a lot of times, people…
00:32:58.930 --> 00:33:00.439 Jacinta Yang: They say I need help.
00:33:00.810 --> 00:33:07.730 Jacinta Yang: But they don't actually do anything… to actually… Help themselves.
00:33:08.050 --> 00:33:12.929 Jacinta Yang: I guess when I first started this healing journey, I was…
00:33:13.580 --> 00:33:24.280 Jacinta Yang: softer, I would say. A little kinder, and was easier. So, I was not so, strict with them getting the homework.
00:33:24.710 --> 00:33:26.900 Jacinta Yang: But the result was kind of slow.
00:33:27.520 --> 00:33:31.359 Jacinta Yang: But, since I decided to…
00:33:31.660 --> 00:33:38.399 Jacinta Yang: Change my technique on making sure that people are accountable for their growth.
00:33:38.950 --> 00:33:42.739 Jacinta Yang: And in their journey, if they want to really
00:33:43.510 --> 00:33:48.590 Jacinta Yang: get better, they need to work on themselves, because I don't have a magic wand.
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:55.550 Jacinta Yang: All I can do is give the tools, and insights… For you to… work?
00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:00.439 Jacinta Yang: And guide you, and… Show you how to use the tools.
00:34:00.950 --> 00:34:04.009 Jacinta Yang: So, I'd like you to please share…
00:34:05.060 --> 00:34:13.390 Jacinta Yang: Your story as to why it is so important that, you know.
00:34:13.730 --> 00:34:21.380 Jacinta Yang: Using the tools, and actually start using the tool, rather than, you know, going on with your own merry way, and…
00:34:21.889 --> 00:34:23.260 Jacinta Yang: not improving.
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:34.070 Felicia: Like you said, it's all in accountability. It's one thing to say you need help.
00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:36.229 Felicia: And actually receive help.
00:34:36.449 --> 00:34:39.109 Felicia: Right? Like, it's like that classic wolf saying…
00:34:39.110 --> 00:34:40.770 Jacinta Yang: Put the speaker close to you.
00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:42.800 Jacinta Yang: Hello? Yeah, we'll dead.
00:34:44.909 --> 00:34:46.619 Felicia: Okay, there we go.
00:34:46.860 --> 00:34:48.330 Jacinta Yang: That's better.
00:34:48.850 --> 00:35:01.050 Felicia: Good. Like I was saying, it's the classic old saying, it's one thing to say you need help, but it's another thing to receive help. Like, that classic saying where it's like, you could bring a horse to the water, but you can't make them drink.
00:35:02.610 --> 00:35:12.619 Felicia: it's all about accountability. If you realize you're in a situation where it is beyond your level of control, it's beyond your level of, you know, knowledge or comprehension.
00:35:13.040 --> 00:35:21.989 Felicia: and you realize, okay, I raise up my hand, I need help, right? And you seek the proper help, and you have the proper help in front of you.
00:35:22.210 --> 00:35:25.860 Felicia: But now, it's, like you said, you don't have a magic wand.
00:35:26.090 --> 00:35:29.010 Felicia: And that person can't be there
00:35:29.540 --> 00:35:39.429 Felicia: every single time you have a thought, every single time something happens, right? But they work with you, like you said, they're a guiding light to help a person through, and like you said.
00:35:39.750 --> 00:35:59.199 Felicia: you provide not just during the session, but outside when a person needs help, you're, you know, a message away, you get to help assist, but again, it's an assistance. You have to actually want to get better, you have to take accountability, and with accountability, it means you have to count, you have to…
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:13.739 Felicia: think about what you're doing, you have to think about your actions, you have to think about the tools, you have to apply the tools, you have to know what tools to apply in what situation. Like, there's a process of working through the healing process. It's not like, okay.
00:36:13.740 --> 00:36:22.780 Felicia: you come to a healer, and all of a sudden you're now gonna be healed. No, you have to endeavor to go through the steps, go through the process, go through the journey.
00:36:23.030 --> 00:36:27.909 Felicia: to get from one place to another, right? Putting one foot in front of the other.
00:36:28.010 --> 00:36:43.350 Felicia: And if, you know, you want help, and you desperately realize that you're in a space that you don't want to be in, you have to want that for yourself, and understand that you're deserving of it. There is, like you said, there's a lot of people that come
00:36:43.670 --> 00:36:46.739 Felicia: And they have a softer approach, and…
00:36:47.140 --> 00:36:50.040 Felicia: It is loving, it's coddling, but…
00:36:50.950 --> 00:37:04.979 Felicia: there's… you have to come outside of your comfort zone, right? Because where you were comfortable was in a place of discomfort, but now to go into a place where you've never been before, you have to do something you've never done before.
00:37:05.250 --> 00:37:10.709 Felicia: So, if you're doing something you haven't done before, it's gonna be uncomfortable, but…
00:37:11.390 --> 00:37:23.539 Felicia: Your support is there, all the tools you need is there is to actually account to yourself and to the people around you that you're doing your work you need to do to get to where you said you need help with.
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:32.480 Jacinta Yang: So, when I got you started on your journaling, now, can you tell me how that journaling has been helpful for you?
00:37:33.670 --> 00:37:51.439 Felicia: Oh, the journaling has been immensely helpful. Because, especially to go through a dark situation, there's a lot of thoughts that you realize that come and kind of go and swirl, but being able to write them down systematically in a regular way, you're able to
00:37:51.440 --> 00:38:06.569 Felicia: also go back and review certain patterns. Is this thought from you, or is it from an interaction you had with somebody, or was it, like, you know, the feeling you had of the day, oh, it's Monday's the start of the week, or maybe it was just a weekend thought, or…
00:38:06.580 --> 00:38:19.010 Felicia: You're able to not only, you know, get those thoughts out of your brain so they don't continue to circle, but you also are able to go back and review and assess yourself to say, okay, hey,
00:38:19.730 --> 00:38:25.830 Felicia: I could see why I was feeling that way that time, or I could see why, you know.
00:38:26.170 --> 00:38:41.510 Felicia: this happened, or whatever, but you're able to see the full picture, rather than just only focusing on the present feeling, or the present thought, or the present emotion of it all, right? Really being able to review yourself, look at yourself in the mirror.
00:38:41.910 --> 00:38:47.740 Felicia: As a slideshow movie, to really see the full picture of what you're going through.
00:38:48.640 --> 00:38:58.379 Jacinta Yang: So, actually, the purpose of me getting the clients to do the journaling is actually show them where they were and where they are,
00:38:58.560 --> 00:39:03.970 Jacinta Yang: there today, which reminds me your self-assessment is coming up? Your homework?
00:39:03.970 --> 00:39:04.510 Felicia: I appreciate it.
00:39:04.990 --> 00:39:13.979 Jacinta Yang: And I've had a client who was referred to me. I had a call from somebody who said to me, of all the things that he was going through.
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:17.579 Jacinta Yang: And he said, but I have no intention to change.
00:39:17.890 --> 00:39:21.890 Jacinta Yang: So I said, okay, I said, I'm sorry to say you're not qualified.
00:39:22.140 --> 00:39:28.199 Jacinta Yang: to be my client. Then he suddenly says, oh, I think I… that I need you to help me. I said.
00:39:28.300 --> 00:39:30.809 Jacinta Yang: Now, I need you to actually…
00:39:31.140 --> 00:39:37.440 Jacinta Yang: have to convince me to take you on as a client, because I really don't…
00:39:37.830 --> 00:39:48.650 Jacinta Yang: don't want to be wasting time when they're not ready, because the time is so valuable that I can give to so many people who are really willing to help themselves
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:51.299 Jacinta Yang: To find themselves in a happier place.
00:39:51.490 --> 00:39:55.929 Jacinta Yang: And, I want to thank you once again for sharing your story, because
00:39:56.230 --> 00:40:00.309 Jacinta Yang: Your story is going to help many people going through a similar situation.
00:40:00.570 --> 00:40:03.740 Jacinta Yang: Now, I want to say that,
00:40:03.850 --> 00:40:13.859 Jacinta Yang: Felicia is an excellent massage therapist. I even had a session with her, it was amazing. And Felicia, could you please share
00:40:14.080 --> 00:40:19.689 Jacinta Yang: A little bit about your, business, and how they can reach you.
00:40:20.670 --> 00:40:27.440 Felicia: Okay, so my business, I'm a registered massage therapist, I've been a registered massage therapist for about…
00:40:27.580 --> 00:40:29.840 Felicia: 8, 9 years now.
00:40:29.950 --> 00:40:35.980 Felicia: I work with a clinic, and I also do mobile visits. I treat everything from
00:40:36.460 --> 00:40:43.449 Felicia: sports injuries to workplace injuries, motor vehicle accidents, my… I guess my niche is really…
00:40:43.970 --> 00:40:49.030 Felicia: Fixing… finding a problem, and really fixing it, and that's definitely one of my passions.
00:40:49.230 --> 00:40:52.679 Felicia: It could be found at…
00:40:52.820 --> 00:41:04.850 Felicia: www.divinezoaytherapy.com, where I do, mobile visits, and again, on Instagram, divine.zoe… Z-O-E dot therapy.
