00:00:14.070 --> 00:00:24.309
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Welcome to the Living the Dream with Curveball podcast, a show where I interview guests that teach, motivate and inspire.
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:58.000
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Today we're going to be talking about living the best life or living the life that you want, as I am joined by author and speaker Lise Janell. Lise has 22 years of experience of being a peak performance and results expert and she helps people who are determined to live their best lives. So we're going to be talking to her about her method, her book, everything that she's up to and going to be up to. So Dr. Janelle, thank you so much for joining me.
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:05.200
> Lise Janell>Thank you so much for having me. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to share with people. I love doing this.
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.280
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Why don't you start off by telling everybody a little bit about yourself?
00:01:11.659 --> 00:01:17.500
> Lise Janell>I can tell you so many stories, but I will start with my background. I was a holistic chiropractor.
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:47.060
> Lise Janell>And very early on I discovered I could have 10 patients with similar low back condition. For example, eight of them would get better, but two of them would be stuck. I went on a quest to find different methods and I discovered some mind body work that allowed me to find very quickly in 5, 10 minutes where emotions, beliefs could be stuck in the body, preventing my patients from, from living their best lives.
00:01:48.260 --> 00:02:25.930
> Lise Janell>And in 1988 I was, you know, I was a successful chiropractor, I was a, ah, Canadian rowing champion with Canada and all that stuff. But still I was feeling empty inside. But all of a sudden, three weeks before my sister's wedding, my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer and he was given nine months to live. A, week after my sister's wedding, my 21 year old brother died in a car accident.
00:02:26.169 --> 00:02:37.439
> Lise Janell>And within a month of all this, my eight year relationship to the man I thought I was going to marry ended. And it was like, ow, ow, ow.
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:56.199
> Lise Janell>So it sent me on the quest to understand what does it take to live a great life? Because it's not if these things are going to happen when they happen, how do you use them to your advantage? How do you keep learning, growing, expanding.
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:05.960
> Lise Janell>So it led me to do a lot more mind body work and also discover the power of gratitude.
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.789
> Lise Janell>So I ended up creating a mind body method called the heart freedom method.
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:21.419
> Lise Janell>And in 2003 I was standing behind my patients and I started crying.
00:03:22.939 --> 00:03:34.030
> Lise Janell>Not because I was not successful, I was top 10% earner chiropractors in Canada. my patients love me. I work 25 hours a week. I took 10, 12 weeks off a year.
00:03:34.669 --> 00:04:26.889
> Lise Janell>But in my heart I knew that I had, you know, something else calling me to do this because in 1989 I had taken a seminar and I wrote a statement of purpose for my life. And the career part said I was going to help transform the life of a million people through maximizing their life potential. So every day of my life since 1989, I was focused on that. And in 2003 I realized if I kept being a chiropractor, I was not going to be able to do that. So I pinched my nose and became a full time coach. Through the law of attractions. I challenged myself and attracted Jack Can Feel, the co author, the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. And he's asked me to write a book about my work because he says it's the missing link he'd been looking for in 50 years of doing transformational work.
00:04:27.850 --> 00:04:29.689
> Lise Janell>This is my story in a nutshell.
00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:32.259
> Lise Janell>Stories.
00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:35.019
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Absolutely.
00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:46.310
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Well, you know, kind of, talk more about your mind body program that, that you have created and what it does, to help your clients.
00:04:47.670 --> 00:05:28.240
> Lise Janell>Yeah, you know, most people, and I'm so passionate about this, that's why I'm grateful that you asked me to, to speak with you, to your audience, is that a lot of people have no idea. Like they might have read the book, you know, a classic, Think and Grow Rich or the Secret or the Millionaire Mine and all these things. So they understand that it's important to have clarity around what they want to create. So consciously they know that. But most people don't understand there's a missing piece to that. And the missing piece is the subconscious mind. And relatively speaking, your conscious mind that wants something is the size of a football.
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.839
> Lise Janell>And your subconscious mind that's there to keep you alive, the football field.
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:52.379
> Lise Janell>So if your subconscious mind has associated more pain than pleasure, more danger than safety to something you want, it's going to hold you back. It's going to quote, quote, you know, sabotage you. It's not there to sabotage you, it's just there to keep you safe.
00:05:53.019 --> 00:06:35.120
> Lise Janell>So, okay, now you know that your subconscious mind could be working for you or against you, but what do you do with it? So you need to have a method that you can learn, that you can master, that then becomes, you know, an ace in your back pocket. So for those of you who are driven to live an amazing life, I can guarantee you that unless you start paying attention to this part of your being, you won't be able to win the game of life, it's, it's so powerful. Like, I'll give you an example. It's an extreme example, but it fits. Like, whether you're an athlete, an entrepreneur, or just someone really driven.
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.920
> Lise Janell>Like, I had this Olympic level skier.
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.800
> Lise Janell>She came to see me because she had not placed in two years.
00:06:43.649 --> 00:06:48.610
> Lise Janell>So doing the mind, body work, I tested her and I'm ready, willing and able to win, to go on the podium.
00:06:49.730 --> 00:07:21.860
> Lise Janell>And lo and behold, we found, like it takes literally 10, 5, 10 minutes. We went back to when she was 7 years old. At 7 years old, she was already winning more than her brothers. And her mother, not to make her brothers feel poorly, was hiding her medals and her trophy. So now she had started to associate. Oh, when I win, I make people feel poorly. And worse, you end up alone. People dislike you.
00:07:23.379 --> 00:07:46.139
> Lise Janell>And now, you know, at the competitive level, your teammates and your competitors, even they can feel like siblings. And when the Pavlovian bell rings, all the sudden you're not consciously understanding that subconsciously you are scared of winning because you don't want to make other people feel poorly.
00:07:46.459 --> 00:08:37.639
> Lise Janell>Anyway, we had two sessions. We found different stories, but that was one of the stories. And she ended up on the podium right after. And she said, her coach took note that after seeing me, she got a lot luckier. She went from being ranked 31st in the world to being to retiring third in the world a few years later. So it's, it's super important because if you are working, you know, the, in a business, you're an entrepreneur and you consciously, you're dedicated, just like an Olympic level skier, you know, obviously consciously she wanted to win. Otherwise you don't, you don't do all this work, do all this training and have no social life or nothing. So consciously, for sure, she wanted to win, but her subconscious mind was not in line with what she wanted. Consciously.
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:55.299
> Lise Janell>And so as an entrepreneur, it's the same thing. You may have a great business idea, you may have good ideas and a, big work ethic, but all of a sudden it's just not working. And there are three clues that you have a subconscious belief working against you.
00:08:56.350 --> 00:09:27.860
> Lise Janell>The first one is, you know what needs to be done, but you're not doing it. The famous procrastination. And that one is challenging on, on driven people, because you're driven. You've taken the courses, you listen to Tony Robbins, all those things, and you're not doing the stuff that you know should, you should be doing. So now you start getting upset with yourself. On, stop. On. On top of not doing what needs to be done, now you're upset with yourself, which is makes it even worse.
00:09:28.419 --> 00:09:51.379
> Lise Janell>So I'm here to tell you that it's not because you lack discipline. It's not because you lack willpower. It's because you subconscious believe that it's going to be too dangerous for you to get that goal that you're after. The second one is you do what needs to be done, but it takes you so much more energy. Why?
00:09:51.379 --> 00:10:20.289
> Lise Janell>Because you know, the size of a football, the conscious part, I want something. Versus the subconscious part, that is the football field. You fighting against that. So a report, instead of taking you an hour, takes three hours. And if you want to create a business, instead of taking you three years, it takes you five years. Why? Because you constantly working against this force that's holding you back. And you won't know it's so interesting.
00:10:20.289 --> 00:10:22.840
> Lise Janell>Like, I'll share a personal story.
00:10:23.559 --> 00:11:40.129
> Lise Janell>Like, you know, my book's gonna come out with Jack Canfield pretty soon. And at the beginning of the year, for some reason, I couldn't sleep well anymore. I couldn't fall asleep. I couldn't stay asleep. I was sleeping like four and a half hours a night. It was like, ugh. I'm thinking, what's going on is that my food is my hormone. What's going on? So finally, like, bulb moment came out and I did, the heart freedom method, the method that I created. And lo and behold, we went back to when I was born, because I don't know why they did this to my mom and me, but they put my mom asleep and I got stuck in there. And I remember, like, you can actually feel and remember what it feels like. I'm stuck in there and I think I'm going to die. So my subconscious mind had associated going from one state of being to another state of being with death. So even though consciously I, really wanted this book to be published, my subconscious mind believed that I was going to die because I was going from my regular life to having a book in the world, hopefully touching at least 1 million people.
00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:46.899
> Lise Janell>And so I did the heart failure method on it took me 15 minutes. And now I'm sleeping like a baby.
00:11:46.899 --> 00:11:56.558
> Lise Janell>So I'm taking the time, to share this story because you have no idea. There's no connection. Like, how would I in a million years discover this without having a tool?
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:31.899
> Lise Janell>The third clue that you have a subconscious belief working against you is you do everything right, but you get the opposite result. You know, you buy this course, you get a coach, you do read these books, you listen to all the recordings, you do everything right, but instead you get the opposite results. A bit like my Olympic level skier. So those are three clues that you absolutely need to learn about your subconscious mind. But also get a tool so that you can win, you can win the game of your life.
00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:45.490
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Well, talk about who, who your mind body program that you created is for. You know, what kind of individuals will your program help?
00:12:46.590 --> 00:13:23.009
> Lise Janell>people who are driven, people who want to live a great life. Like, I love working with entrepreneurs, I love working with athletes. I have different programs. Like I have one on one coaching, I call it. I have an elite coaching program with me. People can coach with me, but I also have trained, coaches so people can work with a coach. I have online programs with, where people can learn how to do the heart freedom method for themselves or with a coach. So I have different program that people can explore. But the people who benefit from this, these are the people who are driven to live a great life.
00:13:24.149 --> 00:13:29.840
> Lise Janell>people with responsibilities. People, when they're going get stuff, they feel it's on their shoulders.
00:13:30.639 --> 00:14:08.490
> Lise Janell>So I really love working with driven people because usually driven people have self awareness so I can come along and tweak things and then voila. there's a huge, you know, benefits to getting to, to the root of the subconscious belief that had been working against you. I also love, love, love working with couples, getting them to find like people who are single again. The reason people are single, even though they profess that they want a relationship, it's usually because they're afraid of, you know, of love, losing their freedom of being hurt again. Or.
00:14:08.809 --> 00:14:20.570
> Lise Janell>I love helping couples who want to avoid a divorce, very costly divorce. It's amazing what you can do in one hour and help a client, you know, reconnect with their partner.
00:14:23.850 --> 00:14:38.629
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Well, talk to the listeners about your book. You know, I know it's coming out here pretty soon. Tell us where we can get it and what we can expect when we read it and what it was like to co author a book with Jack Canfield.
00:14:40.789 --> 00:14:53.750
> Lise Janell>Well, I have actually two books, like one that is already out. It's called Conversation with the Heart, which is a great book, but it's about what it takes to consciously create a successful life.
00:14:55.250 --> 00:14:58.220
> Lise Janell>So the book I'm, writing finished.
00:14:58.620 --> 00:15:01.500
> Lise Janell>I'm going to have a meeting with Jack on Wednesday next week.
00:15:02.679 --> 00:18:40.430
> Lise Janell>it's a, it's called Unstuck and it's for people who want to learn the method. So there's a book and you'll be able to learn the 10, it's just 10 step that you do and you free yourself each time that you feel the inner resistance. Like most people who are driven have an awareness of when it feels all in alignment and when it feels like something is holding you back. So the book will give you access to learning the method. Some people, you know, they can read the book and they'll be able to do the method on themselves. But if you want to go deeper, I highly recommend the online program because I teach people how to use the method like for their career so that you know you want an advancement, you want to do sales, you want to break through your quota, your business if you want. Like with finances, it's so amazing how often we just hold ourselves back because of beliefs of self worth or that money is evil or whatever. And when it comes to weight and cravings and health, like pain, if you have headaches all the time or low back pain, those type of things, often they connect to, to store the emotion in the body. Today I was, did a session for a ah, cricket coach and he had pain in his jaw, joined his TMJ and we just spent half an hour together and we were able to find the stories that were holding him back and he felt like it was healing. So you, you can learn how to do it for each area of life. And you get two monthly coaching calls with me so you can ask me question and I put people through the method and each time you show up on the call, I do it with you so that you can really become confident and comfortable in doing the method. you can also do it with one of my coaches. So you prefer, you can have six session with one of my coaches that will make you feel okay. I got training wheels you can learn with the coach, one on one with the coach and then you know, become really confident. It's a, I'm really happy. Like I have people that I train, coaches that have been trained in my method. And one of them, she has little kids and when she was four years old she told her mom, mom, when we were in the car, I I was, had car sickness. So I did the heart feeder method and it went back to when I was a little kid and I was eating in my, in my high chair, you know. So four years old is able to do it. So I know adults can do it also. So it's a lot of fun. I mean I'M inspired because when people are driven and they want to live a great life and they try once and it's not getting them what they want twice, three times, four times, people get depressed. After a while they start feeling that they are unlucky and that they're just m not meant to have what they want. And I, I can guarantee you if you have a real deep desire from your heart, not your ego, not your emotions, but from your heart and you're willing to do the work, you're courageous, you take actions. And when you see one of those three clues popping up, you know, procrastination, being too hard or getting the opposite results, you just sit down, do the method for yourself and now you're on luck some more of your potential. That's how, that's how you can move forward and you know, get ahead with the the ultimate game of life, which I call Creating Heaven on Earth.
00:18:43.230 --> 00:18:49.150
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Well, tell us about any upcoming projects that you're working on that listeners need to be aware of.
00:18:50.309 --> 00:19:05.849
> Lise Janell>right now the book is for sure, my biggest focus. Jack was masterful with stories, editing the stories. The book is written mainly and we need to find a, you know, a.
00:19:07.289 --> 00:19:13.130
> Lise Janell>Because of him we can find a book agent. It's going to be fairly easy. We just have to decide how we want to publish it.
00:19:13.690 --> 00:19:22.029
> Lise Janell>I'm also I have on September 21st and 22nd for anybody who's interested in having a huge transformation.
00:19:22.029 --> 00:19:36.170
> Lise Janell>It's an intense two days where you transform your life and I give you tools that empowers you and you can write a statement of purpose for your life that becomes your guiding light. It's called extreme freedom.
00:19:36.650 --> 00:20:04.269
> Lise Janell>So anybody who wants to be really certain about creating something from their heart, not from their head, not their emotions, not their ego, but something that really matters to them. It's a. In two days you do two years worth of growth. It's powerful. It's, you know, if you want to gain time and not waste your time and tangents that are not giving you this fulfillment that you want. I can highly recommend this one.
00:20:06.829 --> 00:20:13.549
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Well, so listeners can keep up with everything that you're up to and get that book when it comes out. Throw out your contact info.
00:20:15.170 --> 00:20:58.740

So if you go bestfriendjournal.com it's a 30 day challenge that would allow you to create an inner voice that will be solid for you and, and help you to, you know, gain confidence in any situation you feel.
00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:08.980
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>All right, we'll close this out with some final thoughts. Maybe if that was something I forgot to talk about that you would like to touch on or any final thoughts you have for the listeners.
00:21:10.420 --> 00:21:18.190
> Lise Janell>Yes, when you face a challenge, it's not because something is wrong with you, because everybody faces challenge.
00:21:19.539 --> 00:21:55.380
> Lise Janell>So when you face a challenge, it's okay to feel sorry for yourself. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, suck your thumb, feel sorry for yourself, and then take a deep breath in and ask yourself, since I'm worthy of love, am I going to use this challenge to my advantage? Because the only difference between someone who lives an ordinary life and an extraordinary life is the ability they have to use everything that comes their way to their advantage to grow stronger, more competent and more successful.
