It's a whole bag kind of night. It's a whole bag kind of night. How is the mask feeling?

It cuts off universal intelligence because you're then telling the universe you're going to come up with the hat. So great. You go ahead and hustle and work your ass off and think that your best thinking is your best asset.

I'm so excited for you to meet my guest today. She is Gina DeVee, who went from being a broke psychologist, sounds terrible, to a multi-million dollar

Gina, thank you so much for being here. Oh, Heather, it's so great to see you again, and I'm excited to be on your show. Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to have you here. Okay, so selfishly, I wanted to have you here today for me, of course, for my peeps listening as well, but you know, this is something that I think you'll totally understand. First of all, my whole background in corporate America, I've always been very male energy

like move fast, break things, hit the deadline, and bust through everybody, right? That's sort of been my MO strategically. That's just how I was in business. I still am. Anyhow, as I've been out on my own the last couple of years and meeting people like you, women who show up in powerful ways differently. This is how I've seen it, right? It seems a little different and I don't really understand. And then over the last few months, I went through this whole thing where my friend was saying, you need to start forgiving people in your life. It's going to allow you to start releasing some of this

masculine energy that you have in tapping into feminine. And I was like, okay, that's weird, but I'll try. I don't know. So I'm down this whole weird new path. It's all new to me. So it seems weird, right? And again, I don't really understand any of it, but I'm okay, can't harm me. I'll try, you know, that kind of attitude that I'm trying to figure it out and move forward. But you came to mind, thank you, number one, for having me on your show. And as I've gotten to know you and follow you on social, and I started thinking, and I mean this the nicest way, and I hope it comes across that way. But when I first met you, you have a way about you that's very easy or flowing.

I'm not like that, right? So I appreciate that you're different than me that you show up in a different way that I feel like is something maybe it's something missing for me, maybe that's never even possible for me and maybe anyone listening right now thinks that I've lost my mind, but I'm super interested to hear from you if any of that does make sense or connect around your wheelhouse. Totally, totally. I love it so much, Heather. And what we're talking about here is the difference between masculine and feminine energy. And masculine and feminine energy is in both male and female. The issue is Western culture, not only worships, but is literally addicted to all things masculine energy. And we've made anything feminine wrong for so long. So let's discuss what these

are. And it'll clear up everything that you're talking about. And then we'll get you, like, trusting the feminine way is, well, I'll take it. I'll take it to the light side, darling. So masculine energy is about everything logical, linear, practical, predictable, tangible, concrete, it's action oriented, it's initiating, it's thinking, it's doing, and ultimately masculinity is about giving. Femininity is about all things playful, intuitive, spiritual, seeing things not as they are, but as they could be, passionate, joyful, feeling, being, ultimately, femininity is about receiving. So when we take a look at most known models for success, hustle, initiate, take the bull

by the horns, I'll believe it when I see it. The problem will practical predictable. You need to say for a down payment and you're 401k and all of that. So women also sit there and look time, not being. I need to trust my thinking, not what I how I'm feeling. I need to take action and initiate regardless of my intuition is saying it's time to take a nap. And I need to be in control. I need to be the one basically giving. And also moms, particularly single moms, mothers of small children, the world thinks that they're in their feminine energy because they're a mother. They're constantly protecting and providing, which means they're constantly in and must be in masculine energy.

So on top of this, the world has, like, you only play, if there's enough time and money left over, passion has basically been deemed illegal for women or only for the scandalous types. So it's like, we're not allowed to be these passionate beings. I mean, as a woman on the panel, the last thing you are allowed to do is be, right? Because everyone's revering the hustle and question and you know, you're some sort of second

class citizen if you actually enjoy just spending time doing nothing that that's not productive and that you know so we get all these mixed messages. So we've basically been taught to sum it up that it is only safe and powerful to be taking action and to be in the giving position. And it's weak to be feminine and it is unsafe to receive. Like when you think about receiving a compliment, receiving a birthday present, right? Like giving it is so exciting because you're in control, you're in power, you've picked up the present for your best friend and you're giving it some, when someone goes to give you something like you can just like comfortable feel that and you're gut right? You're like, no, no, no, it's just easier to give. And it's what's just created

such an imbalance in women's lives and women's bodies in this world in general because we have not everybody, but mainstream society has lost the feminine arts of actually a spiritual connection, which is what I believe your friend was talking to you about. And actually, believing in something bigger than yourself, most of us women entrepreneurs wouldn't probably say that we're not spiritual, except for what do you put your trust in, your funnel, your statistics, your ability to hustle or to receive from the divine guidance, inspired at right, like there's just like knots

and everyone's stuff like listening right now, because all of a sudden, what is meant to be source has been taught to be unsafe and frivolous and you can't count on it. So literally the feminine slash spiritual way of doing life or business is a 180 degrees opposite from what we've been taught. Thank you so much for explaining it that way.

I still can't even wrap my head around it. However, two things that you said that are spot on to me were the giving versus receiving. And I didn't know that the male side, the male energy is all about giving. However, it makes sense, because I feel very comfortable doing the things that you're saying, give a compliment, give a gift.

I'm very good at that, take action, I'm good at that. However, for me, my whole life, receiving compliments felt very uncomfortable for me, receiving a present, you know, oh, you shouldn't have done that, you compliments felt very uncomfortable for me, receiving a present, you know, oh, you shouldn't have done that, you didn't have to do that, right? Everything you just described. And I'm super interested to hear what you think, it's very clear how you laid it out that feminine in our society is not attractive, you know, for men or women. But do you think men also are struggling so much to embrace the receiving side. Cause a lot of guys are happy to take things

for a lot of women to wait on them hand in foot. So what I've read about my book is all in chapter three, everyone, just FYI, I have charts about what's masculine, feminine. The issue is more with women than men, is what I call the injured feminine instinct. And so because in women, the dominantly the way we are wired is to

receive. Now, what we see with men who have an intact feminine side to them, they have no problem receiving their value, their worth, the Rolex, the Maserati, right? Because it's been trained, that is okay for men to receive. And actually men should have received those things in our, you know, to pay what world or social circle you live in. Where the injured feminine instinct comes from is that so often, and this goes back to like ancient days when like people were upset when they had a daughter

and they celebrated when they had a son. Like it just it has not been safe revered celebrated to be a woman to be a girl on this planet. And so most of us were raised by mothers that weren't taught to receive. And their mothers weren't taught to receive. Or it weren't taught to receive or it wasn't safe to literally be the gender that you were born. So there's been all this hiding in this camouflage for women different than men. Men have throughout the ages gotten very comfortable receiving authority, receiving money, receiving power unlike what has been trained and dominated in oppressed women? So how do you teach people, how do you teach me, how to receive then after 47 years, what you said rang true to me.

It doesn't feel safe to me to receive. So how do you teach people to change that? Not to make a shameless promotion for my book, but read my book. I take us back to the beginning. And it starts out that the epic life is meant for us. The epic life is meant for all of us. And the epic life isn't just the accomplishment. It's not just the business success. It also includes how you get there. And so to me, the epic life, you know, when I was, you know, I started as a broke struggling

cycle therapist and at first the goal was just to pay the bills. Then it was to get to six figures and seven, then multiple seven and all that. And like, I wasn't just interested in making five million dollars. I was interested in divine living also. So for me, that didn't mean working all the time. I wasn't trying to like, I was like, I'm gonna outwork all my competitors. Like that, that is not the epic life for me personally. And so what I realized is I could push my way to the top like any other quote unquote successful human or I could let and I'm a God-spirit I could let, and I mean,

Dodd's spirit universe, higher power, whatever. National security experts are warning. Our aging power grid is more vulnerable than ever.

It's like step one is just getting that the epic life

is meant for you. And then step two is really understanding its spirituality that's your superpower. You know, you want the quantum leaks. You know, you want miracles to show up. You want that phone call, that that media outlet, that whatever wants to feature you, right? And not because you went and submitted 1,000 pitches

for three years. You know, so like this is the difference. Like you can get those things and you can force it and make it happen, or you can literally call it in. Now calling it in, and this is where I think people really mess it up because women will do it, does massive pendulum swing, they'll be like, oh massive action, crush it, do it, we're like, get in the, and Tony Robbins, or they're gonna be like, I'm gonna go to the Yoga retreat in Costa Rica and I'm just

going to, you know, attract in my wealth and abundance. Well, the scriptures say faith without works is dead. So please don't sit your ass on a couch and have faith that you're going to lose weight. That is not spiritual principle. So please don't anyone listening, misuse the power of spirit. Spirit will guide you. Spirit will direct you and spirit will,

if you're open to it, let the miracles come into your life. Now, there's one in the course of miracles that says miracles occur naturally as an expression of love. And when they are not occurring, something has gone drastically wrong. We tend to think that if a, like, we've all had some kind of miracle happen in our life.

When we know like that was a God job, whatever you want to call it, and we think that that's supposed to happen once every bull moon, or we're lucky when it happens. That's not spiritual way. There's meant to be miracles are like every day. Every day. Now, step three is getting great at being feminine, which all that actually means is getting great at being feminine, which all that actually means

is getting great at receiving. Healing those injured feminine instincts so that you actually have the ability to receive your value, receive money, receive visibility, receive bigger opportunities, greater media, more clients, whatever it is. And then really getting that there's only one you. And it's the combination of all of this. The reason why I love the archetype of Queen, which I so get can be such an eye role and like, you know, whatever the crown and the whole like whatever, but the power, the archetype is that the queen is not just feminine. She is the masterful blend of feminine and masculine.

She's not a priestess, she's not a goddess, she is a ruler. She has her royal robes and her castle, but she is a benevolent queen, so she also leads and takes initiation and takes risks and is giving on behalf of who it is she's meant to serve. So that's all the mass fill inside of the queen. But the way that she functions is first by getting divine guidance and then taking inspired action, not massive action.

And so confusing to me because all I've ever done is the massive action and the harder you work, the better results you're going to have. I mean, this goes against everything that I've been taught my whole life. So, okay, so let me give you a fun example. I think probably of some people that we even know. So, I had been following Jamie Kernlema on Instagram, like for the past couple of years, and I didn't know her story. All I knew is like, I saw her in a mastermind with a bunch of friends of mine,

and that's like, it first got turned on to her, and she just seemed like this bright light. And I didn't know, she was like the makeup lady to me. Like, I didn't know her story, I didn't know the deal. I would follow her and follow her, and then I was like, there's some special about her. Like, and then her book was coming out. And then I saw her sending her book to a bunch of my friends, and was getting on their podcast

and stuff, and I was like, I want that book. And I want to have her on my podcast. And I want to share her story. The only thing I knew about her is that she had to make a company and she sold it for $1.2 billion. Kind of a big thing to know about her. Kind of. Kind of.

So when I worked at the White House, one of the things I learned was anything you want is five phone calls away. So I was like, no problem. So I call the first friend who's super close with, who's always been super generous with me and vice versa. And I was like, hang, we'll call her Jane. Hey, Jane, I saw you, you know, you know, Jamie, her books coming out, I'd really love to support her,

message you now into the world, would you make an introduction? And I got the, exactly, there was that pause that beat that like yeah you know I could make that introduction which you knew was like that happening at all but we were like really good for and I was like if she wasn't to do one shouldn't that side don't so I was like okay let's maybe should have in a day a moment PMSS, whatever. So, I saw another friend who like had Jamie on her podcast and this and that. I picked up a phone, I texted her and I was like,

hey, we'll call it Betty. Hey, Betty, saw Jamie's on her podcast. We'd love to feature her in a book. You know, you think you can make it, you know, I told him to you, but he felt comfortable making an introduction. Betty was more straight up with me. She was kind of, Jamie's really busy right now. And I'm like, yeah. And so I went back to the first friend because, you know, I am

Sicilian. So I got a little bit of hustle in me. And so I was like, hey, remember that intro? And you said you're going to make two, she's like, yeah, yeah. Let me do that. So this was December 2020, like mid-December. I think it was like December like 17. I think I can remember it because I was leaving on playing the next day. And I was like, you know what? And this is how feminine energy works out.

So I could have gone and called a thousand other people and pushed doors open and somehow some way maybe elbowed my way into the woman who's having a book launch that like everyone wants to have her on their podcast, right? Or I had an in-home manicure scheduled for the holidays. I poured myself a glass of shabley. I just set an intention. I said, for me, it's a prayer. And I just said, dear God, I am interested in interviewing Jamie. I know that you know Jamie because you created her. So please bring Jamie to me. Straight up. What's the sense of being having a relationship with God

if God has access to infinite and not ask for what you want? So because I believe from a place of like, I knew that I knew that I knew God would bring Jamie to me, like I had done what I knew to do. And from a feminine perspective, that's enough. There's a line of the Bible that says, when you've done all you can do to stand and stand. So I was sitting, my shift late, and my manicure.

So I created, I set my intention, totally new, is going to have Jamie on the podcast, didn't know the house. So this is the other really important piece of the feminine. You don't need to know the how. If you have a desire, I want to interview Jamie on the podcast someone else wants to make a million dollars, whatever it is. You want to be on the today show and everything. And you jump too quickly into the how the how is the masculine. It cuts off universal intelligence because you're then telling the universe you're going to come up with the half. So great, you go ahead and hustle and work your ass off and think that your best thinking is your best asset or you can hold the desire, acknowledge I have no idea how this could happen,

but I know that the universe does. I know that infinite intelligence does. I know that God has the solution. So that's why I did with Jamie. So Shabli and Han, Manak here and the other, Praet and As, bring Jamie to me, went and flipped on a podcast, just picked one, it was like randomly, happened to be a Joel Olstein thing. I don't know if anyone listens to Joel Olstein, but he basically his message in a nutshell

is believe, have faith, good things are coming to you. Like that's Joel. So I'm sitting there listening and he's got all these cool stories of miracles, medical miracles and financial miracles and all he tells always tell a miracle story, which is why it's fun to listen to him. So I'm saying that he's telling his miracle star the day. And he was like, so then there was this young TV broadcaster who had really bad skin issues and couldn't cover it up with enough makeup. So she decided to go and leave her broadcasting career and start a makeup line.

And he's going on and on. I don't remember, I don't know the story. So I just think it's another one of Joel's stories. And I just know that that was as Joel's scene podcast because by the way, so this just happened to be a random one. So he's going on on, and then he says, and then what happened to my friend Jamie Kern

is that blah, blah, blah, and then he goes and tells the rest of the story. So I'm like, ha, la, la, la, la, la, la, so then I picked up the phone, had finished the Shabbily, and I go and I DM Jamie. Cause I hadn't done that. And I was like, hey Jamie, looks like we've got some friends in common. I've asked a couple of people to introduce me to you.

And normally I think they really would have, but I think that God wanted to be the and producer this time around. Was listening to the Joel's team podcast, prayed that I would be connected with you. Not sure if you'll ever see this DM, but if you'd like to come in the divine living podcast, would love to have you as a guest.

So that was December 17th. I got on a plane December 18th to St. Varks for Christmas holidays, went to St. Kits for New Year's, was sitting at the pool on January 2nd, and an email comes in from Jamie's team. Jamie would love to be on the divine living podcast. Wow. So that is one of infinite examples of trusting the feminine, trusting the divine, trusting that it can be brought to you. I don't have to go send a thousand emails and bang down doors. I took certain actions. I made my request now. I made my request expecting to receive. And I did.

That is unbelievable. Do you know who Bob Berg is the author of the Go giver? No. Okay. You need to have him on your podcast. But the reason why I want to share this, I just had him on my show and his book is sold millions and millions of copies. And at the end of the interview, I asked him, I said, Bob, he goes through different steps that everyone should employ to be successful in their lives. And I said, what's the most important step? And he said, you have to do the model, Heather. There's not one that's most important. And I said, well, then what's the one people struggle with the most? Guess what he said? Receiving. Receiving.

And it's so interesting. It's the last chapter in his book. And his book is not about feminine masculine energy, but however, addressing the exact same things that you're telling me here, you know, I don't know Bob personally. I just interviewed him for the show. And when I hung up with him that day, I sat for a minute and thinking about this whole thing that is just, it keeps coming up in my life, this idea of receiving.

And you've really articulated in a way that I understand it. I don't know how the hell I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna be completely honest with you because it goes completely against who I've been my whole life. Regina, this is so crazy about a month ago. I had so much stressful things going on with my kid and with work and whatever you know series of events. And I my dentist says you're going to need a two-strild my teeth are perfect. I'm like, this everything is going wrong. This is horrible. What am I going to do? And I'm sitting in their way in his office waiting for him and he comes out for him and it's a scene he says you look so stressed out what's wrong I said everything seems to be going wrong these days

he said do you trust me he's been my dentist 15 years I said of course I trust you he said then just trust everything is going to be okay all right and I said okay I sit down in his chair Gina and I'm freaking out sweating he said Heather do you trust me I said I trust and he said okay open your mouth I said you're not giving me Novakine you're not giving me laughing gas nothing he said, had there do you trust me? I said, I trust. And he said, okay, open your mouth. I said, you're not giving me no vacay. You're not giving me, laughing gas. Nothing said, you don't need it. And he said, you trust me, right? And I said, yes.

And I laid back, he drilled my tooth. I didn't feel one bit of pain. Nothing, it's true stories. It was just last month. And when he was done, he sat and gave me this great talk, you know, about trusting things and about, you know, that things are gonna be okay and just to have faith and whatnot.

And I left there that day and I remember walking to my car and thinking, what if things were just always supposed to be easier and I'm then the one making them hard? You should know what that means already. That's the best kind of notification. That's the sound of another sale on Shopify, and the moment another business dream

Yes. Well, I wouldn't say that you're the one making them hard. You were trained like we all were. Life is hard. You have to work hard, making money is hard, like all of that. And yes, we all create our reality. So to the, it doesn't matter if it's conditioning, it doesn't matter if it's in our subconscious, we create our reality. So if we have a belief or an MO of this is how I'm going to get success, like God's not going to like interfere with that.

Like we have to invite the divine because we have free will. And so to the degree that any of us are resistant to our next level, to our good, to it being easy, to having love in our life, to having in a bunch of money, to having support stuff, whatever it is, health, then we, it's our degree of resistance. So to the degree that we release our resistance and just allow the well-being to come in is really the way it works.

It's kind of like, if you're in a room and you have like the way it works. It's kind of like if you're in a room and you have the blackout shades. Because your blackout shades doesn't mean the sun's not out there. It just means we've created a resistance to letting the sunlight in. And then when we start to raise the shade, we release the resistance, then the light

can come in, which is there all the time. Well being is there for us all the time. It's just that we've got to be a vibrational match to what we say we are consciously calling it. But if we are saying, that's whatever, I want to feel a group program. I want to make extra number money. Like I want to, I want to, I want to, but the real vibrational energy is, I'm terrified, nobody else sign up.

I'm terrified, nobody's gonna come and terrified. I'm gonna go into, dad, I'm terrified. I'm not gonna make the money, all of that. Like the words and the dots are, don't matter. It's the vibration that we're at. So we're vibrating fear. We attract that like match. We attract the empty group.

We attract the cancellations and the refunds and the thanks, but maybe later. Or if we're functioning at the vibration of allowing the sold out program, the manifestation, the phone calls coming in, then that's what we end up attracting. How did you figure this out for your own life? I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian home,

which does a number of things in both directions. Want to give you a great relationship with God right out of the womb. So you grow up believing in God miracles on a certain level that you are loved. And then you also, at least where I taught that there's like this good, bad, right, or wrong lots of punishment and to listen to what other people say. So I had, you know, my own, a hot mess express of like releasing codependency, releasing the people pleasing that came with that, releasing lots of this stuff that just be happy with what you have.

It's not good to focus on the money if you do have money, give it away. I had a, you know, tons of that, afraid of getting in trouble, like just all that good girl BS. And I've cited course of miracles, I've studied law of attraction, I've studied Buddhism, I've studied Kabbalah. For me, it was actually getting into some of the more mystical elements of the Bible, because the Bible resonated as true. The way it had been interpreted to me by other people is what does not necessarily ring true to me at this point in my life. It's like, when Jesus said, I came so that you would live life abundantly. It's like, where is it wrong to live in abundance?

You know, but yet so many Christians would say the opposite. It's been a process of deepening my faith. A lot of reading, like I read a lot of the Esther Hicks work, you know, the Askin is given. I love men. I love my husband. I love the empowered masculine. I love the masculine that's inside of me. And think and grow rich was a very prominent part of me transforming my money story. When you read things like the science of getting rich, you'll get that that's really the more feminine side of money transformation and calling it. If you haven't read the science of getting rich,

he's not telling you to go do a bunch of stuff. He actually tells you to I haven't read the science of getting rich. He's not telling you to go do a bunch of stuff. He actually tells you to visualize it and feel it and be it, even though it was like, you know, from this like old, dead white guy from the 20s. When I got into my 20s, 30s, $75,000 in debt, totally ruined my credit, was like the struggling life coach who,

like I equipped me in a psychotherapist and Detroit, moved to LA, was like begging people to do $25 sessions basically. And it looked around my social circle and I had a bunch of really wealthy friends and they were like investment bankers and stock brokers and commercial real estate and they were the ones that had the money for the clothes and the trips and the lifestyle that I so craved. And then I had my feminine energy friends but they're like flowy dresses and their new moon circles and like really smart and substantive in different ways, but like we're broke as a joke as I was.

And I was like, and don't want to be broke. And I don't want to like be like my super masculine female friends that are just like crushing it all the time. So for me, it was very much a Gandhi be the change moment. Where are the women who are wealthy and feminine? And so this time, this is like 2004, I didn't see many examples of that. And so it was Gandhi be the change. It's like, then Gina, why don't you discover? Why don't you discover what it looks like? How does it work? Can you really trust it? Like, can you really still make money if you're firmly rooted in femininity or if you start with feminine, just back it

up with a little bit of masculine? So that's really been my work for the past 20 years of discovering it for myself and getting over my own condition about, I can rely on me, but can I really rely on the divine? So I give lots of fun examples and stories in my book as well. So it's been a process that's a journey. It still is. For me, going to the next one, I still come up with like the, do I go dial for dollars or do I, you know, and what is the right amount of action and what is the right amount of intuition

and intending and visualizing. But what I have learned over the course of time, when you develop a relationship with spirit, it will be clear and it will be guided. And my experience is when I feel like I'm working, I'm off track. When I'm having a blast, I'm on track. So for example, one of my favorite ways

to work is live events. Live events, I'm up at five o'clock in the morning. I work out and getting hair and makeup done. I'm preparing. I go into the event. I work all day at the event. I do a team dinner at night. And if I'm lucky,

fall into bed at 10. So that's like a 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. day and I'm filled with bliss. If I have to go architect a funnel, I can go work on that for 90 minutes and feel like the life was sucked out of me. Right? So it's like, it's not even about the time, it's about how you're feeling in the process. And if I'm like feeling drained, exhausted, that's an indicator. It's like moving your hand towards a hot stove, like going a different direction, girl, friend, like you keep going, you're gonna get burned. And yet we've been talking, no pain, no gain,

back until you make it, just keep going. It doesn't matter how you feel. It's like we've been taught the opposite. But now I've learned when I feel like, hmm, I'm not opposed to working. I'm opposed to drudgery. And when it feels heavy, I'm like, that's when I've trained my brain. What's the most pleasurable way I can make money? What's the most pleasurable way I can make money? What's the most pleasurable way I can make money? We're quick to tell you where this came from. So, earlier on in my career, you have to, like, you're going to have a

multi-million dollar business, you've got to get graded sales. And so, I didn't necessarily love sales, but I did love impact and I love lifestyle unapologetically on both. So, I had to get graded sales. And my clients were asking me, Gina, you've got to teach us how you do sales. I just signed up for a 15,000-dollar you and I don't even feel like I got sold to. How did you do that with me and blah blah. So long story short, I came out with how to be a sales superstar class, six week class, 500 bucks, whatever. 125 people signed up for it.

This was back in the day. That was a lot of people for me. And I was having a blast. It was fun. I made some money and people were loving it. And I was like, well, this was easy. Like, mom didn't raise no full. Like, they can't learn everything.

They need to know about sales in six weeks. Like, let's do a sales superstar too. I got a 5,000 person list. I got 125 happy campers in this course. Like, boom, let's do it. Gina comes out with sales superstar too. You wanna know how many people signed up for it? Fine.

And a 5,000 person list and 125 happy campers, five people enrolled in sales superstar two at 497. So here's what I learned from that Heather. One, did I ask was I meant to do sales superstar two? Like did I pray? Was I divinely guided? No, Gina thought she had a great idea to make money. On a practical level, on a masculine level, absolutely that would make sense. God was like, I didn't know, Gina thought she had a great idea to make money on a practical level on the masculine level.

Absolutely, that would make sense. God was like, uh-uh. So you know what I did? I didn't cancel class. I taught it. I taught it at the frequency. Like there were 5,000 people in that class because I wanted to train myself. But if I'm going to go run ahead of divine guidance, I'm going to follow through with it. So like train me to go and ask for a better way. So I taught the class and I had certain financial goals at the time. And so I was like, how can I make that money? And that's why I learned, like, what's the most pleasurable way I could make this money?

And I sat in meditation and it came in really quickly. And it said posting a one day private intensive at the Ritz and Paris. I had never been there at that time. And I was like, yeah, baby. And I was like, I like the Lanesboro in London too. So I was like, yes. And I was like, what about a villa in Provance? Boom. Riyadh and Marrakesh, never been there. Yes, thank you. And like, whatever, let's throw in a Greek Isle situation just for fun. So I, in the matter of like an hour, picked out seven destinations. And this is where I like coined like the destination intensive,

one day intensive, a Gina DeVie, $15,000 per day, nothing else comes with it except lunch. And I went and put it out there. And I sent an email within the first 24 hours a woman from Canada called to do not sell the Paris one. That one's for me. I'm getting my money together. And Heather, in five days, all seven intensive sold out at 15 grand a piece, where I get to work in the way that is like my superpower, which is transformational coaching in a luxurious environment. So I can go and teach us six week sales superstar class at 4.97 or I can do what I'm destined to do in the way that I am and everyone else has their own destiny as well. But it doesn't have to be that hard, hard work.

It gets to be playful and pleasurable and passionate. And the biggest difference that you can point to is that you ask the divine for guidance when it worked out the correctly. And that's the meditation. For me at this point, a lot, you know, meditation was very hard for me at the beginning because my mind would race. So I meditated in a journal. I pray and that's my conversation to God. That's where I put my request in. I started out journaling and so I would ask God then, I want to hear from you. And for me to just sit there with my eyes closed, I was like a pinball machine. So I grounded with journaling.

And we were like, okay, dear God, like at this point, I can now ask. But at the beginning, I would have said, what's the most pleasurable way for me to make that money? I'd write out, well, it would be really fun to go to Paris or the Ritz has been on my vision border. And so I would journal it out. At this point, I mean, I still journal extensively, but at this point, I can meditate and close my eyes

and ask and get the guidance that way as well. Wow. That is so powerful and total goal. So I am definitely trying it. I mean, I'm definitely doing it because what I'm doing currently is not working, so it's time to go a different direction. Yes, yes. And you don't have to be alone with it. There's all kinds of journal prompts, exercises, prayers,

written out in my book. And if you liked these stories, there's like dozens more of like literally, like it's reigning diamonds stories by doing it the feminine way. And where can everyone find the book? Come on over to divineliving.com forward slash book
