I'm so glad I'm here and yes, I know. And even the same shade of pink. That's amazing. yeah, no, pretty, pretty cool. Pretty cool. Yeah, it is cool. Well, you know what? I, I think it's perfect because in, in reading through your bio, we're, we're very. Aligned in what I think, what we're up to in the world. And, and which is one of the reasons why I was delighted to have you on the show. I’ve, I’ve been familiar with you for a while. Been in your been sort of circling you a bit. And now I have a chance to be able to, you know, talk with you. So I'm, I'm excited. I'm very excited to be able to speak with you. Yeah. Well, let me, it's nice to know. Oh, thank you. And let me share with our listeners and those of you who are watching as well on YouTube, just, who this lovely woman is. She is referred to by many as a soul curator and Alena works her magic by wisely integrating the wisdom of various religions, spiritual modalities, and scientific research to bring clarity, ease, and flow along. Greater understanding to all, and she's on a quest to help people everywhere, heal and connect to their soul's purpose and experience abundance while on the journey. And she works with clients around the world to help them to heal themselves so they can identify what they're really here to achieve in life from a space of compassion, non-judgment and love. And she's been, she's been on a guest on all sorts of different networks, the major networks and she's. Cured on stages with amazing people like Les Brown and the late Bob Proctor. And she's also certified counselor in her own Right as well. So I am. I'm really delighted to have you here. Oh, not to mention the fact she's also a bestselling author, which she didn't mention in her bio, but I happen to know for a fact because again, this is one of the reasons why I, I connected with her. We, I saw her at a, an event and she had written this book called, the prison effect, discover how you were blocking your own happiness and break free to abundance and joy in life. And it's a really, really good book. Got some really great, Insights and, and exercises to help you to break free of, you know, the things that are keeping you in your own prison. And I know you've also got a new book that you've got out as well. I do, I have a book called hello soul. Oh. Which is written in a little bit of a different way. It’s you know, I've decided that people don't always enjoy being told what to do, you know? So I decided. This one is more talking about how I found my way back to living by my soul, but just like the prison effect and my other book, you can't escape from a prison if you don't know you're in one. At the end of each chapter, of course, when I'm looking for it, I can't find it. I have isn't that the way? Yeah. I have a little skills for your own journey, so it's all, it's like the time to focus and I give you other ways that you can try for your own journey on, on starting to not only hear your soul, but start to be guided by it and live by it. Which I think is the key to the ultimate hap, happiness, you know, and contentment and peace and, just really feeling good in this life and, and understanding from a higher perspective, everything that's going on, even in times like these. You know? Yep, absolutely. And, and I love that you're telling it from your perspective, cuz when I wrote my book, live, love, engage. I intended it to be more of a “how to,” but as I started writing it, it turned out to be much more of a memoir that I had intended, but I also think it's better that way. And so I'm okay with it. So I think so too. I think people like to hear how you did it. Mm-hmm they like to, and they learn from you. I always say laugh when I, you know, cause there's definitely places to laugh and, and cry. If you feel like you wanna cry, it, it it's a story. And a story is much more unassuming and accepted in your subconscious mind. You know, it stays there. And then it's easier for you to change those old beliefs with story than I, you must do kind of thing. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So I wondered if you could share with our viewers and, and listeners to a little bit about your story. How did you come to, you know, be this soul curator and, and an author? What, what, tell us a little bit about your journey. Oh, gosh, shoot. We've gotta have a cup of coffee with this one. I, I actually, didn't know I was even going into this business. I just started out in the mindset business, which is those, those two books you just talked about. And those just came about because I had been going through a really bad divorce and I, so I was doing things to create my own happiness, even be that's what caused it. Trying to be happy. And, the happier I got, the worse the marriage became. And so, once I was, you know, just trying to get through things and I would make, I would choose to do something fun every day, I would get up and say, okay, what sounds fun? And whatever it was, I would do it because it spurs your, it gets your creativity and your imagination going. And one morning I woke up and said I wanted to journal and before I know it every morning, I drop the kids off and go to the coffee shop and journal. And before I know it, I had a very thick journal and I loved it so much. And then be, and then I met that's when I met Bob Proctor and he said, you've got a book. And I said, I do? And he said, you do. And I, and I was whisked off stopped to meet somebody. And all of a sudden, I have you don't, you can't escape from a prison. If you don't know you're in one. And that led the mindset trail. And I did that. I have always had, I have always been extremely spiritual in so many ways from the time I was very young, to the time, I mean really young, we're talking like three and, and I, I put my little cradle up on edge and I would talk to all my stuffed animals talking about all the wonderful things about God and the spirit, you know? And, my mom didn't know what to do with me. So then when I, and I, and I learned to keep my mouth shut, cuz you know, my mom thought I was strange, you know, I wasn't getting along with we, I was raised Catholic. I wasn't getting along with the nuns and I just decided to just be quiet and it wasn't until I was doing a program out in New York called the inevitable you with, with Elizabeth Gilbert of Eat Pray Love. She, she was telling them about this, her creative spirit, this little elf in the corner and, and how it would come. And she had to catch the ideas before it ran away. And I thought, oh, she's telling them about that. She's not telling them how she accesses that. And I was telling my friends over Italian dinner. I'm Italian. So I love Italian food, even though it's not good for me, a pasta, but I love it anyway. We sit there and,...
