Speaker 2: 0:36

Welcome to the Lift One Self podcast. I'm Nat Nat, and today I have a lovely guest and her name is JJ. And JJ, would you be so gracious to let our listeners know who you are and a little bit about you, know what you provide and what you?

Speaker 3: 0:56

do and what you play in. Oh Nanana, I'm so glad to be here and my journey has been that a journey. It's been a lot of self-discovery, what I thought was going to make me happy and really where I was going to sit in life, you know, really started shifting decade to decade and I'm starting my fifth decade on the planet and I finally feel like I'm at a place that I can share some really deep gifts that have emerged through the various years and activities and relationships and jobs that I've taken and been part of and it's been really great. I've published three books, I have two podcasts and I really feel like even after all of that, I'm still honing into the real message hook and ability to help more people unlock what is possible and why they're on the planet.

Speaker 2: 1:50

I just entered the fifth floor life last year. I'm going to go into the first year of that fifth floor in November. So it is a beautiful view on the fifth floor. So it's very expansive, very abundant, and you know, you get to self-reflect on a lot of things and then be very intentional with the time, because time is a tool, not a toy. So on that fifth floor you're like I can give myself permission, no longer needing that validation or waiting for others. It's like that's supposed to be within myself. So let me use it to the best of my ability and really allow joy to come back, to be in your life, to allow yourself to receive it and feel it, which can feel apprehensive for some people.

Speaker 3: 2:36

That's true, and I love the visual of the fifth floor. I was just on a high floor the other day and I was like, look at this view and if you really think of your life as levels and views, of what you pay attention to and catches your eye, that's just such a beautiful way of thinking about our time here on the planet.

Speaker 2: 2:56

Will you join me in a meditation so we can meet each other in the breath and ground ourselves before opening up and getting into the dialogue? I would be honored. And for the listeners, as you always hear me say, safety first. Most listen to a podcast while driving. So when I asked JJ and myself to close our eyes, please keep your eyes open. Yet you're able to listen to the other prompts with whatever you're doing. So, jj, I'll ask you to get comfortable and you're going to gently close your eyes and you're going to begin breathing in and out through your nose. You're not going to try and control your breath. You're just going to bring the awareness to watching the rhythm, allowing the breath to bring you in the body. By now, there may be some sensations or feelings that are coming up. Allow them to come up. You're safe to feel. You're safe to let go. Surrender the need to control, release the need to resist and just be.

Speaker 2: 4:10

Be with your breath, drop deeper into your body. There may be some thoughts or to-do lists that have popped up, and it's okay. Gently, bring your awareness back to your breath, creating space between the awareness and the thoughts and going deeper into your body. Keeping that awareness and watching the breath go into your nostrils and inflate your lungs and the exhale.

Speaker 2: 4:49

Again, more thoughts or memories may have popped up. Gently bring your awareness back to your breath, creating more space between the awareness and thoughts and going deeper into your body, into the breath Now, while still staying with your breath, at your own time and at your own pace. You're going to gently open your eyes while staying with your breath.

Speaker 3: 5:30

How's your heart doing? It's pattering, it's busy.

Speaker 2: 5:35

It is busy. So in your description you mentioned that you're a light worker. Can you let the listeners know what that is, Because some may be like a light worker. What is that? We're all light worker.

Speaker 3: 5:47

Can you let the listeners know what that is, because some may be like a light worker. What is that? We're all a light worker, but sometimes the way we move through life and how we've emerged in different situations, we cover that light up. I really believe that we are a teardrop of the infinite. Some people call it God, some people call it higher being one source. I believe that we all are teardrops of this higher, beautiful, delicious light that turns our eyes on and really gives us this human experience, and I've spent a lot of time really uncovering that light, so much so that not only have I illuminated the path for myself, but also the path for others.

Speaker 2: 6:30

You see, I know a lot of people.

Speaker 2: 6:31

When they use the definition of healing, they think it's becoming a new person.

Speaker 2: 6:36

Yet how I explain it to them, it's actually removing the layers of pain to come to the greatness that you already are. A lot of people believe that they have to transform themselves into something other than what they are, not knowing that the journey is about accepting the fullness of who you are, not, listening to the narrations from the outside saying that you're not good enough or this needs to be fixed, or that it's actually, you know, looking at yourself with sensitive eyes and having accountability. Also, because in this it doesn't mean it's just being passive and allowing yourself to give excuses for certain behaviors or how you treat yourself or others. It's really being in that space of accepting and valuing your worth, and I think some of the work that I've done within my own life is I knew I wasn't in my worth, yet I didn't realize how far out I was from my worth. I don't know if that's something that resonates with you or if that you've always been connected to your worth. That's a great question.

Speaker 3: 7:44

You know I've had slivers of worth, slivers of worth. I think my worth and many people's worth is determined by their parents early on what they value, how you exchange love and recognition. And so there were some pieces of myself that were overdeveloped and some pieces that were non-existent, and it's taken a lot of work, shadow work and past life work and just a lot of work to really kind of bring all of that together so that I can work in harmony with what I'm doing as a human right now on the planet.

Speaker 2: 8:18

What are some of the tools that you've had to use when you're doing shadow work for yourself?

Speaker 3: 8:24

Well, I definitely work with a lot of different practitioners. I talk about in my third book all the different practitioners I use to really start to peel those layers off that you previously mentioned. So I don't do it alone for sure. I am an active listener on YouTube, I do a lot of meditations, all different aspects. I work with different practitioners, I participate in healing circles, and so I really make it part of my weekly regimen of really just nurturing myself in ways that I very much overlooked. The first, you know, three to four years of my three to four decades of my life three to four years of my three to four decades of my life.

Speaker 2: 9:08

For some listeners, you know they're not familiar with the language of light work or shadow work. Can you explain in your own words what shadow work means for you?

Speaker 3: 9:16

Yeah, I'd be happy to.

Speaker 3: 9:17

I'd be happy to.

Speaker 3: 9:18

So I think of shadow work as things that you kind of push into closets that you don't want to revisit.

Speaker 3: 9:23

Yeah, you know, and so our soul, our soul journey, you know, whether you believe that this is our first time here, our first lifetime, or you believe that you've been reincarnated many times, some believe that you have stuff shoved in closets from your last life, and so really finding the space and time to kind of clean out those closets so that you do have room for light and you know, these are a lot of experiences, stories that we go through as humans as part of our learning regimen, and going back and revisiting and identifying the lessons and letting go of the pain or the stories that we've attached to it has been a really helpful process for me and many people to just be able to let it go, because we all know, you know, it's great to forgive and forgiveness is more about the work that you're doing within than the people that you're forgiving and I feel like shadow work is a great way to clean out those closets like shadow work is a great way to clean out those closets.

Speaker 2: 10:25

Yeah, as I say to people, you know, nervous systems recreate other nervous systems. So you know that past lives that you're not really comprehending, it's all that information from all those ancestors that come in A lot of people, sometimes when they were young. They're like I have these dense emotions or these experiences that don't I've not really experienced it in this lifetime, but it feels so heavy and that's that generational curse or generational wealth or what. It's the charges in the nervous system that gives us information that gets put into other nervous systems that we haven't really given a language about. That Cause, when we, if you really you know, take a moment to think about, okay, yeah, like there's two liquids that get supercharged in energy that create a body and it's nervous systems that charge that you know electric currency or frequency or energy, whatever you want to call it for the creation of life, and so that gets transm, transmitted into another one. So all these recordings that are in there.

Speaker 2: 11:30

A lot of times people think that shadow work is all about evilness and it's like, no, you're probably also not recognizing the greatness that's in you. You've shoved it down Like there's glimmers in the shadow and you're not realizing that the shadow. You've just forgotten that you're the light of awareness. You're not the shadow. It's that there's parts of you that you have not been able to connect in, and the whole journey is to come back into self, to no longer separate from self, which is warrior work when you've had emotional pain, from self, which is warrior work when you've had emotional pain, when you have grief, when you've had experiences that have caused violence or separation or rejection. Yet it's really creating those tools to, you know, surf those inner tsunami waves that we go through. Yet I think the language sometimes intimidates a lot of people and that's why they don't even want to engage in it, because they don't know how to relate to themselves.

Speaker 3: 12:28

Yeah, and I can't say that I really kind of went down the path being like I'm going to tackle my shadow work or I'm going to like tackle those closets that I pushed down and closed up and double bolted. I think what I realized in my life is that I wanted to vibrate at a higher frequency, that I wanted to vibrate at a higher frequency. I wanted to do a little bit more manifestation, a little less like muscle work and grunt work on having to touch everything that crossed my desk. And I realized, in my desire to really make my life easier, really trying to create the synchronicities and the manifestations, that I am working in conjunction with a bigger why and a bigger light. I realized the only way to really raise my frequency is to take the lower frequencies out.

Speaker 2: 13:13

How have you been more gentle and kind with yourself?

Speaker 3: 13:17

Well, I would say that the thing that has really come forward for me is a life of observation, and so I would really say that a lot of the moments in a day is I'm more of an observer than a decider, or than a fixer or a assessor. So I've spent a lot of my life really living in my masculine energy and getting a lot done and I pride myself on getting a lot done based on my sort of origin stories of this lifetime, and I have really had to sort of decouple that with a lot of energy, work and like inside work, and it's given me permission to be more of an observer. So it's like I'm watching things happen around me with really good intentions not to label it or put a story around it or answer it or solve it.

Speaker 1: 14:18

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3: 14:21

Or having judgment on it, and so that's created a lot of inner peace for me, because I'm much more excited now about, like the intersection points of things happening, like oh my goodness, that person called or that happened or this happened, and instead of making a list of 12 things to do in a day which I am notorious for my old self I would say that I make the list of three things and then anything else that gets done as a total benefit. So that's also given me the freedom not to judge myself as I go to sleep like, oh my gosh, I didn't get those three things done when in reality I got nine things done. Right, but I focus on the three I didn't get done. So I'm really kind of gearing down on the expectation so that I create more space for observation.

Speaker 2: 15:10

So I know many listeners are probably like, oh, good for you that you can get your list down to three and not have all these lists. Can you give a little bit of what that looked like going through that process and what you had to access and if it still appears for you?

Speaker 3: 15:28

Oh yeah, I mean I'm doing big things. You know what I mean. Like I'm having the next week. I'm having a big event for 45 farms where I'm bringing the schools, the farms, the chefs together. So my three things are not like let's get the mail out of the mailbox right. It's like let's host this event to bring the circle of life for food together so I can create this wellness resort of farm to table food.

Speaker 3: 15:50

So it's not like I'm dumbing down or diluting what I'm working on, but I'm also not. I break those down into steps of what I'm going to do each day rather than, you know, just adding a gazillion things to my list that I absolutely have to get done. And so I'm still calling the airlines to cancel a ticket, I'm still picking up the kids for this, I'm still catching a workout, you know whatever that looks like for me that day. But the three things I need to work on are what I write down. Everything else is is like a nicety, like I like doing those things and I make time for it, but I'm not putting it on this list where it's like have to get this done.

Speaker 2: 16:31

Yeah, thanks for explaining that, because you know, everybody's perception is different and we all go by our own narration and try to compare it. So it's good when we can get context of what that means for a person, because everybody's definition of things is always different until we ask like oh well, what does that mean for you or what does that look like for you?

Speaker 3: 16:57

look like for you so well. And I'd like to just add this in there, because I feel like one of the things I really had to do is I had to really pay attention to what I was saying yes to. So most people say yes not because it aligns to what's important to them or what they want to impact. They say yes because they feel guilty, they feel like they should. Their mother taught them or their father told them to be nice, and that's the thing to do. And so about gosh in 2010, 15 years ago, I created a chart called the power of no, and I really look at every single commitment I say yes to and I say you know not only what is the commitment, but who's asking me to do it. Does it align to where I am or where I want to go, and does it give me the right energy? Is it raising my frequency or taking my frequency down? And do I want to keep it on the list or do I want to take it down?

Speaker 3: 17:41

And so when people ask me to do things, I don't quickly say yes like I used to, especially if it's more than three hours. Right, if it's more than three hours, I say well, give me 24 hours to think about it, because I just don't quickly say yes to things anymore, and I realized that things start to evaporate. I don't have to do as much stuff, and there was an uncomfortable period of time where people who depended on me most of the time to do things gave me a lot of backlash. I'm like what do you mean? Why? And that was uncomfortable. But I was at a point where I was at really low point and I needed to raise my frequency and I realized the only way I could really do it is what I focused on and what I put my energy at, and so that's the process for me. But now I am very particular on what I do and what I don't do.

Speaker 2: 18:28

Yeah, that's in the language that I use for that kind of people. Pleasing and giving yeses to everybody else's the fawn state of the nervous system. So feeling that you have to conform and please the people for your safety, Reverse that to give yourself a yes. People feel really uncomfortable because they feel like they're selfish or they're not helping other people and that's what their identity has been anchored in that I always have to be in servitude of other people, not realizing that I'm a person also that has needs and I'm allowed to have choice. But doing that work internally it's not like it sounds very easy and people are like, just do it. Internally it's not like it sounds very easy and people are like just do it. Yet viscerally inside, you're having to rewire your nervous system to start being able to receive and not be a giver. To be a giver puts you in a very elevated state to receive.

Speaker 3: 19:27

That's where you have to really access your vulnerability yes, and I'm going to give you a link so that people have a free course to just a chart chapter how to do it and questions. You need to ask you a link so that people have a free course to just a chart chapter how to do it and questions. You need to ask when people are asking you for that time, and I feel like that's a lot about self-love too. It's like, do I need to do this? Or what I love even better is I love giving, getting a request and giving an opportunity for someone else to take it. So I'm a big like I would love to do it, but a better be.

Speaker 3: 19:55

You know this person or even shuffling around. They ask. So you know, if I got asked to do something, for something that was like a 15 hour, ask how, if I want to help them, how can I get a three hour activity rather than a 15 hour activity? And so I think, really thinking about what is being asked of you, can you shuffle it around and or can you give it to someone else that could benefit from it?

Speaker 2: 20:19

I'm going to ask you something that's going to be more reflective for you. What is a question you wish people would ask?

Speaker 3: 20:25

you, I think are you lonely? I think are you lonely Because I do spend a ton of time by myself and I spend a lot of time in the office. I'm writing, I'm creating and I think entrepreneurship and the work that we do we definitely have to find our tribe and whether it's other healers or friends in our neighborhood or things in our community, I feel like a lot of times, people that are helping and guiding other light workers on their path can really kind of get in a situation where they spend too much time by themselves and I think for some of us, finding our new tribe sometimes is a little bit of work and I think it's really important that you prioritize that, because you don't want to get into a place where you're looking around being like I don't recognize any of these people and I don't know where I fit in.

Speaker 2: 21:23

Yeah, it's the worst feeling ever. What about the part that you know? Unfortunately, with entrepreneur, there becomes strength and courage and you have to get things done. Yet that also puts on a mask that people perceive that you have all this strength, so that there isn't any loneliness, that it's not revealed. A person to allow that vulnerability to be there, or to also create communication with those to let them know, like, if I'm building this intimate relationship, I need you to. You know, question me about these things. I may not want to reveal it, yet I need you to be able to provide that safe space that I can, you know, start showing it to people and that they're not going to push me away from it.

Speaker 3: 22:22

Yeah, I mean I really hire a lot of energy practitioners, healers, mystics, because that's their job is to like dig deep and help you create a safe space to kind of work through what you're working through. I don't really rely on my friends or family to do my inside work, because your friends and family are really just a reflection of where I am on my journey, and so that wouldn't really be, I think, productive in a sense. And so I really think investing in yourself, whether you just start going to circles or you go to I go to all kinds of classes. I'm a Sagittarius moon, so I love going to classes, but classes aren't your thing.

Speaker 3: 22:54

Maybe you listen to meditations, maybe you, you know, do healthy eating, like whatever is really calling you is what I encourage people to lean into and you will find your way. But you have to really lean into that first nugget or that first whisper or that first like inclination, like, ooh, I would like to go to that, well, then go to it. Like, I think we get whispers and, um, kind of would like to go to that, well, then go to it. I think we get whispers and kind of nudges to go in certain directions, but then we're like, well, I can't afford it, or I don't know anyone who's going to be there, or I can't go by myself. The universe is constantly nudging us along to lean into what is calling us, but our ego mind oftentimes convinces us that we're not ready.

Speaker 2: 23:35

Yeah, it's really going beyond what your comfort zone is and really start going into this unknown uncertainty, because that's the only place that changes. Yet if you always can, you know, predict what's going to happen, then that means you're not allowing yourself to go beyond. It's almost like the allegory cave. You're just staying in that cave because you know it, yet you're not allowing yourself to go beyond. It's almost like the allegory cave. You're just staying in that cave because you know it, yet you're not aware that there's something much more vast and open.

Speaker 2: 24:01

Yeah, it's going to activate fear. You know a lot of people are talking about they want change, and it's like well then, that means you're going to have to feel fear, and they're like no, I'm like yeah, because change means unknown uncertainty. You and like yeah, because change means unknown uncertainty, You're going to learn things about yourself that you didn't know before. So of course, it's going to activate fear and it's having a different relationship with fear, not evilizing fear. This is part of your humanness, it's part of your nervous system. Yet if you do not engage with it, you're always shutting it down. So then you don't know how to work with it.

Speaker 3: 24:36

But I think that's really a tool, yeah.

Speaker 2: 24:40

And I think that's you know, that's the work that I do with people is letting them see that their body is always protecting them, even though it might be an inconvenience and not might not be a proper method of protection. It's always asking okay, you're protecting me from what? And a lot of times it's ourselves and our belief systems and our constructs that we made, and also our authentic emotions. Most of us run off of our secondary emotions that we had to access to protect ourselves when we were younger. The authentic emotions we don't even know how to feel or engage or process. So when they're trying to come, service systems like, oh, let's push it back down because you're telling me you don't have the ability to feel these things.

Speaker 2: 25:25

And I think it's important, like you said, like if you can hire people not everybody's in that position that they can hire others to hold that space for them. Yet there's other ways. Like you said, there's communities or there's circles that people are willing to witness and listen and not push you away, because I think that the biggest bomb of healing that you can have is when somebody can witness you and your messiness and they don't turn away and they don't disconnect from you. That allows you to actually see like, oh, I can love myself in this messiness. Yet, like you said, when you have your friends or family, it's very difficult to witness pain in others. When it's subjective, and when we see that they don't have the ability, we shut ourselves off.

Speaker 3: 26:14

Go ahead, yeah, and I think, paying attention to what you invest in, you know, I do think at first. You know I host a lot of retreats and people are always like, well, that's too expensive. You know, and there's many people I've worked with based on where they were in their process and what they could afford. So don't be ashamed to ask people like I'd like to attend or like be part of your circle. Ask people like I'd like to attend or like be part of your circle, but I can only afford this. Could I still come? Maybe you could write them a reference, maybe you could put a post up for them. There's a lot of ways to exchange energy. That's not always the dollar, and so I would say like, if you're in a situation like, don't discount your ability to add value to someone else's journey.

Speaker 2: 26:56

Even if you can't pay them the price that's listed. Yeah, exactly that asking for help and, again, being vulnerable, opening up of what your reality is and asking. I think it's a thing that we forget to access sometimes.

Speaker 3: 27:05

Yeah, it's really amazing and I feel like a lot of people have never been taught to invest in themselves, really invested in themselves, and so a lot of us have to learn step-by-step on how to do that. And you know, I started out with $10 classes, you know, and then I've moved up to thousand dollar experiences. So I feel like, because I'm at that point now where I have done all these little things and like, if I want to get that next level, you know, I follow the practitioners or the teachers, or I even go to places that have multiple experiences that I can have in one three day period. So, you know, we all start at zero or $10, you know, let's me just see how this goes. And you know, the universe brings you your next teacher. It always does.

Speaker 2: 27:49

It does, it does and wants to raise the vibration and the dimensions that you are to go in that spiral. The view is like the view is always the same, but it's a different angle. And, like I said that fifth, the more you go up, the more you grow, and I also use the visual of the Donkey Kong. We all had levels in this one dimension but we don't know what the next one is. It's blocked off and it's like, oh, can we access it? And then, once you do, it's like, oh, you might get hit with the wheelbarrow and you're like, what the heck? But it's all learning, going through the levels and going up of relating and honing new skills for new experiences and new growths of you know, relating to yourself in this journey. I want to bring you into a reflective question. I want to ask you to go back to your 18-year-old self, and you have three words to tell your 18-year-old self to bring you to the journey to right now. What would those three words be?

Speaker 3: 29:00

Yes, you can, is what comes to mind. So that came as soon as you started asking me. That's what came to mind.

Speaker 2: 29:06

Okay, and I love when people are just in their intuitions and they're not just over analyzing and just yep, that's what it is and that message is for you. I know the listeners are like okay enough, I've heard what she was saying. I want to know more about JJ and where I can find her, find these podcasts that she's on, because you are sharing a wealth of experience and knowledge, so where can the listeners find you?

Speaker 3: 29:36

well with the name JJ Dijeronimo. You can pretty much find me with my name on any platform. But I would say that this particular conversation is very much the backbone of my third book Seeking, and I talk about all the shit I had to dig into to really get to where I am. So, whether it's relationship with my mother, the guides I've experienced, my love for perfectionism, which I've since released, and all the steps in between that really include a lot of steps to meditation and identifying the difference between our ego and our soul, I had to work through all of that step-by-step, and I share the practitioners. I use the books, I read the lessons I've learned so that I can help you kind of decide where do you want to leap into your next level of learning that with the goal to raise your frequency, the goal to live at a higher energy level than you're living today, so that you can be part of the process of life rather than grinding out every step and all her contact information will be in the show notes.

Speaker 2: 30:45

You didn't mention the titles of your podcast.

Speaker 3: 30:48

Oh, the title of my podcast, the one that is associated to spiritual enlightenment, is Together we Seek.

Speaker 2: 30:56

Okay, so all of those links will be in the show notes. I know some people might have been scrambling, trying to write or trying to decipher how to spell your last name. So I'm all about networking and at any time, if there was any inclination or a nudge, don't second guess it, just reach out to JJ. There's a reason why something activated in you, there's something in her frequency that is able to open up something within yourself. So don't second guess, just click those links and get connected with JJ right away. I want to really, you know, thank you for the work that you're doing. You know the alchemy of taking those impurities and turning them into gold and not just keeping it for yourself. You're sharing it with others and showing them where you know they can have the light within themselves and have, you know, expansion and abundance. And you know having more of a soft life, not having to make it so hard and difficult and seeing that there's a different way to relate to yourself. Is there something that you would like to impart with the listeners?

Speaker 3: 32:09

Well, the beauty of life is, you're exactly where you're meant to be right now. And if you're kind of scratching your head like what does this all mean, or why is this? Why am I listening to this right now, I guarantee that you your journey will bring you to some of these lessons on your own, and sometimes we hear things five or 10 years before they really manifest in our life, and I think that the best thing you can do for yourself is give you grace where you are today, but being open to where you can raise your frequency, where you can let go of some no's that are no longer serving you and find some things locally or online that really just kind of help you sit into yourself and really just kind of get present to where you are and give you time to sort of assess where you are and where you want to go with your energy and your yeses in the future.
