Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the Friday feels and we're back with your first sip of the weekend. You're now tuned in to this week's episode of your happy hour. I'm your host Nicole Carmine and it's amazing to have you here joining me this week as we uncover the truths about being a human and a working professional. What are you up to this Friday? Well whatever it is, this moment is just for you. We're into week two of our theme naturally nourished and this month is all about exploring the ways in which we take care of ourselves. Maybe even more deeply how we define being nourished and practically how do we do all of that in the most natural way.
Starting point is 00:01:03 So this week I have a very, very special guest joining me. Well usually from the USA, but this week coincidentally we are both in France and a very welcome back to your home country. I'm on Dean Le Roux Hancock. It must be so nice to be with family and to be spending a bit of time here. And we're just really grateful to have you join us for some great chats today while you are here. So first of all, a very, very big welcome to the Friday Field Space and to the Your Happy Hour podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Thank you so, so much for having me, Nicole. It's a pleasure to be on your podcast and to be spending, yeah, this quality time with you. It is very nice and refreshing to be back in France. Haven't been, we're here for two months. I haven't been here for such a long time in over 10 years. So it's kind of nice, you know, talking about being nourished to think we're gonna have a beautiful conversation on the theme, but there's so many ways to feel nourished, I think we're going to have a beautiful conversation on the theme, but
Starting point is 00:02:11 there are so many ways to feel nourished and I'm definitely feeling that my soul and my heart are getting a big dose of nutrition right now. That's amazing to hear. Yeah, somehow family always has a way to do that, right? And as much as they annoy us at times, I think they're wonderful in that in that sense but that's really great thank you for taking some time out to chat to us and I want to take a quick moment to kind of celebrate how you and I met because I was thinking about this beforehand and we connected via a mutual friend Erica Madison who I randomly made fire a home exchange in Washington DC that I had to go to because I had to sort out my visa for France when I before
Starting point is 00:02:52 I was coming here and when I was thinking back to the story the truth is that I actually had to stay in DC a little longer than I'd expected because I missed my first appointment for my visa because the check that I was waiting for for the money to pay for the visa I had sold my camera was delayed because of an American holiday which I didn't know about so kind of one thing led to another and yeah me ended up having to stay longer, meet Erica, meet you and here we are having this conversation. Very grateful for the universe figuring all of that out.
Starting point is 00:03:28 And so I've had the privilege of being on your podcast and having that conversation. You've got the podcast soundscapes and mindful meditations, which is beautiful. And we're doing a little bit of a podcast exchange, I guess. But I feel like every time I chat to you, I get to know you a little bit of a podcast exchange, I guess. But I feel like every time I chat to you, I get to know you a little bit more. And there's just so much in your world. There's so much that you're doing. And I really love your passion for how you are using music,
Starting point is 00:03:56 specifically sound, in a very powerful and transformative way in order to help people. I guess, first of of all to kind of Teach them about their energy body and the fact that we have this human vessel That responds to sound and then to help heal and unstuck ourselves in some ways so I guess you're using sound as a therapy, which is beautiful and Talks to to this theme of this month And so it's something I feel very passionate about as well.
Starting point is 00:04:25 And so when we chatted about what we were going to uncover a little bit today, we spoke about our topic title being living in a state of sound. What does this mean to kind of explore life through sound, being energy, and empowering ourselves through music within us, moving us forward. Yeah, so maybe you can just tell us a little bit about how you got to this. What is your journey? Yeah, well thank you for that, Cori. It is a beautiful thing and I just want to pause for a second to say we are fortunate that we live in a world that is the way it is. And so we can use frequencies as a way to heal. We can use music as a way to heal. Of course, I did not, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:12 I was not born with that knowledge. It took me quite a while to figure that out. But I mean, from a very early age, I was very connected with music. You could ask my grandparents' neighbors. I was singing all the time in their yard, in the backyard of my grandparents, and I would hear me constantly. Always connected with music. But also another thing that really connected with me as early as I was probably six years old,
Starting point is 00:05:36 I think. My brother had been struggling since the beginning of his life and he was one year old with a disease and nobody knew what it was. My mom brought him to hospitals. Her best friend was a doctor. We saw a lot of doctors. Nobody knew what was going on. And after a year she heard about that energy healer and so she took both of us across the country and brought us to that healer. We step in his little home slash office and we did not even speak that he was like, oh my god that poor baby has the worms give him to me put him on a table put his hands above him say a little you know prayer and and then you know after five minutes he was like okay he's gonna be much better now what were you coming here for?" We're like, wow, we just drove seven hours to see you and it's like, where that was too fast almost.
Starting point is 00:06:34 And I remember in my head I was like, wait, you can do this? You can put your hand on someone and if you're trained right, you can heal them. And it was a no brainer. I knew that, you know, that was a path that resonated with me deeply. And through life, I continue to evolve around those two worlds of energy healing and music, never thinking that they could collide. And I guess thanks to the pandemic, it had a lot of heartache, but it also provided a lot of humans with new opportunities for shift. And that was definitely
Starting point is 00:07:12 my case. The boredom of COVID opened new paths for me. And as I started to learn yoga, meditation, I studied Reiki, I started to discover also sound healing and discovered that you could blend vocals and there were instruments like the crystal bowls and the tuning forks that were bringing basically the world of energy healing and if you brought some intention of mixing energy healing with music, you could provide deep healing to people. And not only it was revolutionary, it was like my aha moment that gradually came to be, but on top of it, it felt like it was a much more easy way to bring people onto the path of healing.
Starting point is 00:07:58 What I mean by that is when I studied meditation and for two years I did an hour of meditation a day, it was transformative, very therapeutic, but not everyone wants and is capable of sitting for 30 minutes or an hour. And, you know, it's not the most easy thing to access. That when you bring music, there is, you know, that element that we all create, that we all connect with, that allows us to go in much more easily. And so for me, it was a new world that was more open, more inviting than, you know, like a silent meditation. And the fact that, you know, working with a lot of people in a group setting
Starting point is 00:08:47 or one-on-one and seeing actually my clients, my patients transform through sessions, you know it just solidified you know week after week, practice after practice like this, this is what it is, this is it. And then again, like I'm just so grateful that we live in a world where everything is energy and that we are energetic being. We are like a little bit like an instrument, you know, and like a piano, we're in tune, but because of stress, because of our environment,
Starting point is 00:09:26 we can get out of tune. And so we need sometimes something to bring us back to our tune. And so sound healing is the most amazing. I keep looking there because my crystal balls are right next to me. Sound healing is just, you know, that beautiful way to help our body, help our energy to understand what is a healthy vibration and come back to that state. I mean, we press the button, I can go on and on and on and on. I love it. You know, so much while you're talking every now and then I just get these goosebumps as you were saying specific things.
Starting point is 00:10:06 And you know, I think one of the things that a lot of people don't realize and which is why I wanted to have you come and speak about this around this topic of naturally nourished is that we're very quick to kind of run to a doctor, like you say, and try solve our human, our body things through other people who don't necessarily know what's really going on in your body. And I think it's really, really important to remember at the heart of all of it, we are vibration. We're just energy and motion. We're just these little particles that are, like you say, looking for the tuning
Starting point is 00:10:45 fork, looking for that resonance. And if we can find what is our sound, what is our unique sound that we vibrate best at, I guess, in the world, then that's really a magical thing. And I've also been on a bit of a quest for that. And sometimes you feel that magic moment, right? You feel like, okay, I'm in line and yeah. So how has that happened for you? What has your journey been in terms of kind of healing
Starting point is 00:11:13 for yourself or is it, do you feel like it's mostly through others that you're experiencing it? That's a very good question. I think for me, what was one of the biggest steps was when I really did my 500 hour meditation training. When you sit for that long with yourself and nothing else than with yourself and with your breath, eventually you face a lot of demons, you face a lot of emotions that you've been trying to put aside. And I don't know who, I don't remember who said that, but an emotion buried alive never
Starting point is 00:11:49 dies. It is an energy that needs, like anything in this world needs to be expressed, whether it's pleasant or unpleasant. And so when we finally allow ourselves to go through that journey, what I know is that it brought me, for every difficult experience that I had for that practice, I felt so lighter, so taller, so much more confident and aligned with myself. And so that's also why I really wanted to dedicate my life to teaching some principles of meditations. We really rediscover what it means to be free
Starting point is 00:12:31 once we've fully let go of our trauma. So for me, it was just like that revelation of realizing how much baggage I was still carrying, even as an adult from childhood, from my teenage years. And so it was beautiful to come back the other way. and as an adult from childhood, from my teenage years. And so it was beautiful to come back the other way. And I just knew that I wanted to offer that to everyone who was ready to finally let go of their own burdens, that their own attachment.
Starting point is 00:12:58 And when I started to work with music, I realized that it was still helping me to continuously grow. You know, I was starting to play the balls and really start to craft things using all the Reiki meditation, breath work and you know and the frequencies and then I realized wait you're a musician. You've been a musician, you have an album that is out, you know. Use your voice. And, you know, and then I finally started to break through that still, you know, little residue of lack of confidence,
Starting point is 00:13:31 I guess. And it was, I was just amused at how I would feel about doing something like that and how everybody would respond to it. Like, thank you. You know, it was just always so positive responses that it was just amusing at that point. It was like, you need to stop and continue to push. You know this. You went through it for 500 hours and it's just now, you know, but I just
Starting point is 00:13:59 love that journey. And it's so rewarding that you're like, everyone join because it's so worth it. You know what I mean? Yeah, I do. I do. And I also understand that feeling of, I don't know if imposter syndrome is the right word, but it's kind of like, how do you bring your worlds together and then share that with the world? And you kind of always feel a little bit nervous about how people will perceive that and to
Starting point is 00:14:25 merge these things. But I think that's wonderful that that's the feedback that you've been getting and you've been preparing for this moment, I guess, through things in your life. And then, you know, these things are never lost. And so, yeah, I guess 10 years ago, you didn't think you'd be doing what you're doing today. No, there is no way and I mean I knew from an early age that I wanted to be a healer. I also knew from an early age that I was too young and too immature to be a good
Starting point is 00:14:57 healer. For me a healer is some you know it's someone who has a lot of power and ergo a lot of responsibility and you cannot come with your issues to heal someone. I always felt like, no, you need to have mastered at least a big chunk of your issues before you can help others. So I knew that I needed that time of growth, which thankfully happened a few years ago. And then when you know you're ready, you know. Yeah, I know. That's really great. I love that. And I'm really appreciative that you bring your
Starting point is 00:15:37 music into this. And I'm very curious about the album you mentioned. I did not know about that. about the album you mentioned, I did not know about that. So please do share with us. And so I'm curious, what have you felt have been people's... I feel like when we talk about these things, people always kind of come with, oh, but the scientific way or, you know, this kind of resistance to the less and less and less so, there's resistance to this natural way of being, which we actually are. But what have you found have been the interesting conversations where people have challenged you in the things that you do? The first thing that I would say is that a lot of people that are skeptical about spirituality,
Starting point is 00:16:20 let's say, are not necessarily as skeptical about sound healing. The beauty is that there is science that is starting to come out. There are hospitals that are starting to use frequency healing. They have obviously not crystal balls, but sometimes they do have people with crystal balls that will all tuning for it, that will come
Starting point is 00:16:40 in the cancer department to help people release their stress. So we're getting somewhere. But like there are machines, for instance, I learned that if you put 7 Hz frequency on a kidney stone, it makes the kidney stone explode, which basically turns the kidney stone into fragments. And therefore, when you release it, it's no longer painful because it already dissolved through the frequency. So there is, technology is coming to meet us. So it's been fascinating to be in a world that I always felt was right in my heart,
Starting point is 00:17:20 just like a lot of spiritual other things. But for once, we have science being like yes you're right. And so the skeptical people, I have a friend who is very skeptical, very Cartesian. He is looking forward for me to bring him on the sound bath. I have an event on the, at the end of the month here in France and he's already booked his ticket and I was like really? So it's, I don't know, there's something comforting and it's just like bringing everyone together, you know? It's like might be the the missing link to bring Cartesian people and spiritual people together, at least in you know in my humble opinion. Yeah, yeah, I know that makes sense and when you were explaining
Starting point is 00:18:04 about the the kidney stone I just had all these goosebumps in, yeah, I know that makes sense. And when you were explaining about the kidney stone, I just had all these goosebumps in my tummy. I can just feel it. But I've never really thought about why there hasn't been sound and music in hospitals when that actually makes so much sense from a healing perspective. So whoever's listening out there, make it happen.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Or maybe we will, but I love that. And I think more and more people are appreciating that we're natural beings, we're humans, but we are more than that, we are really spirits in a human experience. And we have to embrace that part of ourselves. So the problem with Cartesian mindset, and I mean, it brought some really good things,
Starting point is 00:18:46 you know, a rather a world like we had in the 20th century than, you know, the medieval ages. No questions asked. But the problem is that it brought like the concept that the world is basically dead and mechanic and our bodies are like that, which is not true. So when we go to see a doctor, you know, they're going to give us a pill to numb the expression of a dis-ease and we're never really looking at the roots. Like I know in the US they're not trained for nutrition.
Starting point is 00:19:22 They're not trained, you know, on much. I had to go see a doctor for my son who is about to be two. So obviously there is not a lot of medication you can give the kid and the doctor was basically saying there is not much you can do. I was like seriously? And I was so thankful that, you know, I do Reiki and I have sound healing and I was able to do a lot of healing on him. And I also used some essential oils that I knew were adapted to his age. And we did a lot of holistic health things. But I was like, I always tell people, let's blend. Don't just come to see me.
Starting point is 00:20:03 If you have something important, continue to take your medication. It's important. I work combinedly, east and west. But I would love for the western doctors to also be like, I have nothing from my toolkit to provide you. Go get homeopathic treatments. Go see a sound healer. go see holistic approaches, you know? It's just like, let's both bridge the gap because, yes, there is something. There is a healing and we're not mechanic. We're not dead, not just a pill. You know, when we have a disease, there is an expression of something. And 75% of the time, it's emotionally induced.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Yeah, yeah, 100%. You know the time it's emotionally induced. Yeah, yeah, 100%. And it's so interesting to me, I found that I threw in, this is not as much in the sound world of things, but I discovered Louisa Hay and the idea of body talk and the fact that sometimes when you have pains in your body, it's very much from a specific emotional expression. I remember having back pain, for example, and like really bad, I felt like a granny.
Starting point is 00:21:09 And I was going through a tough financial time and I resolved that in myself and it went away. And that's kind of what she was also saying. So I think hopefully more and more people are acknowledging that we are holistic humans, we are holistic beings, and I love that you are acknowledging that we are holistic humans, we are holistic beings and I love that you are doing that. And so I'm curious, where are you in your journey now, a year from now, where do you kind of see yourself being? Well, so I set an intention at the end of last year that I wanted to do more retreats. I really think that it's important to allow people
Starting point is 00:21:48 retreats. I really think that it's important to allow people to take a couple of hours or an afternoon on our weekend off and really work deep because for the past two years I've been working live on Insight Timer and Aura every Tuesday. So you know there is a work that we do and that is really exciting but I want to go to you know the next step and do deeper work with people. And so it was interesting because in January I started to see all of these people that were coming into my world. They were like, I'm looking for somebody to do retreats. And so, you know, basically organically, I have like three or four retreats scheduled this year. I'm so thankful. So that's something that I really want to continue to build. So, basically organically, I have like 304 retreats, you know, scheduled this year. So thankful.
Starting point is 00:22:26 So that's something that I really want to continue to build, continue to be here, provide, you know, tools that are not, there is the retreats, yes, for deep work, but also I recently came out with a 10 minute challenge because I think that it's also important to meet people where they're at. A lot of people are, I mean, I'm a new mom, so I understand having very limited time. And you know, there is, we have a lot of work, we have to juggle a lot of hats and sometimes being like, yeah, it's great, I don't have two or three hours to allocate to this or that. Feel we all have 10 minutes. We all waste 10 minutes on Instagram or on TikTok
Starting point is 00:23:11 or on all of those things. And so it's just like meeting people where they're out like, come on, take 10 minutes and do this and you're gonna feel the shift inside of you. And hoping that by the end of the free weeks basically people keep that kind of positive habits but that's what I'm trying to do continuing to bring solutions for people that can and Be added into their schedule easily but also providing longer periods of time for people to really reset and
Starting point is 00:23:45 but also providing longer periods of time for people to really reset and hopefully continue to heal through music, for workshops. I'm working with my husband, he just finished his music studio. I'm very excited about it because he blended, I don't know if you're familiar as a musician, maybe Atmos technology, so the 3D technology of sound, but also with cassette recorders. So we're gonna have the richness of the old-school recording with the... I mean and so we're going to work on an album. We're gonna bring 3D binaural beats with the crystal balls and hopefully bring a lot of
Starting point is 00:24:22 musicians on board with that project. So a lot of things are coming. Oh man, I love that. I've just got goosey all over my body. I would be honored to come and be in your studio, come and experience it. I love old school vibes. I love that you're bringing the modern and the old together. And also how beautiful that you're working together on this as a team. I don't think a lot of people can say that out in the world.
Starting point is 00:24:51 And what I'm also curious about is you've I know you weren't always in the space and you've obviously kind of merged into it, like you said, through COVID and all of that. And perhaps you've hit moments where you felt like this isn't easy. Maybe now you're feeling that as you are a new mom. And I know that comes with its own challenges. But what have you felt has kind of been like that motivation for you? What has been that thing that someone has maybe said or like has stuck with you that's carried you through?
Starting point is 00:25:31 There was for a long time I was being called the peaceful force You know, I think that a part of me always kind of trusted. I was born in an anti religious and atheist household and I wanted to be a nun at the age of three. So I, you know, somehow it was connected with something higher than myself. And, and I always trusted even in dark times that the universe was working with me and not against me. And I think that was key to help me get out of difficult passage and always sort of falling on my feet basically one way or another and until one day I started to I think grow. Coming to the US was definitely a big one where I felt like okay if I put an intention and I'm really open in my heart more often than not, the universe responds and will feed
Starting point is 00:26:26 me with what not necessarily I want exactly, but what I need. That makes sense. I was well in Paris, a city that you now know a little bit. And I unfortunately, I lost my company that I had built with my best friend. So they'd severed also my relationship with my best friend. Was the end of the chapter. Yeah, completely a little bit of depression and you know, just I knew that there was something new that needed to happen.
Starting point is 00:27:00 And through life and I was doing Airbnb, that was the only people basically that I was interacting with. One of them one day was like wait you have a green card and you live in this shithole? Excuse my French. It was like thank you for the hospitality but come on dude use your green card and you know having those people like being like wait what? The moment I decided okay I'm going to use my green card and just you know started to take a map of the U.S. and look where I wanted to go the next day I hosted someone from Oregon from Portland and was a revelation you know has we just connected you know soul to soul and I was like I like this city, I'm coming. And everything became very easy.
Starting point is 00:27:46 My passport arrived quickly. I discovered I had miles on a credit card so I didn't have to pay for the ticket. I sold everything I owned easily, effortlessly, and a month later I was in Oregon. Quickly I got a job in the field that had been trying to get in France since I got out of my masters and actually even better than that.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Not only I got a job in marketing which was what I was seeking since I got my diploma but on top of it I reached out for a job. They called me and they were like, your resume is great so we don't want you for this job. We sent your resume to the department. They're looking for a marketing director. That would never happen in France. You know, send a resume for manager and they're like, no, we want you for this. So, you know, the kind of, you know, where you're like, okay, the universe is here and
Starting point is 00:28:42 that just builds your confidence, you know, nurtures you to, okay, I've given, you know, where you're like, okay, the universe is here. And that just builds your confidence, you know, nurtures you to, okay, I've given, you know, somebody's giving me a chance. And so you're happy, you feel, filled with a lot of beautiful energies. And so it's been, yeah, a beautiful journey of learning that there is hardship in life and they build you up and when you continue to fight then after the storm comes you know the Sun and you can enjoy all the
Starting point is 00:29:13 growth that you know you've been pushing through. Yeah, yeah I can so understand what you're saying and I feel like I'm hopefully at the precipice now of the sun. I can hear that song, here comes the sun, little darling. What a journey. Crazy. And just amazing how you followed the flow. And I found that's really interesting. The universe sends you these people and just little things.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I kind of imagine the beings out there and then they listening and they're going like oh she took the bed you know it's like it's great she's listening she's listening now we can we can reward her which is amazing and look how it's all turned out and you make your husband in America and yeah oh yeah we yeah we met in that was another one 2016 you, in the US was very difficult, like every other week very difficult or dramatic, new news coming and having a hard time to swallow everything. And you know, at the end of 2016, not to get too political, but I worked on climate, you know, I was not very excited about the guy that got into office in 2016
Starting point is 00:30:27 and I was like, well, this is the greatest end of the worst year. And in two weeks later, I met my husband and I was like, okay, at least he brought me that. Amazing. And look at what you guys are building together. It's wonderful. brought me that. Amazing and look at what you guys are building together. It's wonderful. Yeah, I really love that and we love what you're doing. We love your feels. Thank you for doing what you're doing out there in the world. And I also want to take a quick moment to say thank you to the
Starting point is 00:31:02 people who make this happen. We wouldn't be able to be talking to everyone out there if it wasn't for our sound capturers, our enablers of sound sharing in the world, which is RiversideFM and RSS.com. So if you are a content creator, maybe you're a musician or a podcaster or a live streamer of sorts, do check out Riverside FM and maybe you just want to capture some of your meetings, audio, video and words in an efficient way. There's also that.
Starting point is 00:31:33 And yeah, every day I feel like I'm discovering new features that they have on the platform. So they've also offered our audience very kindly a discount. So as well as rss.com. Do let us know in the DMs if you're interested. We'll send you the code. Thank you for your feels out there for helping us put out sound and having these conversations. And then I just want to do a quick shout out as well to someone I think that might resonate a lot with you, Amandina's
Starting point is 00:32:05 lady that I met this week. So we do this thing every week where we talk about the people, places and spaces that we've met and that we feel have the feels. And so this week I met this lady, I saw her workshop randomly on Facebook and she does what she calls the Badass Bootcamp workshop and it's all about Igniting Your Fire and she's a dancer. She's had a really interesting life and has worked for built-up NGOs out there. Her name is Anna Laurence and she's from France as well. And it was really interesting timing because I just released my song Ignite Your Fire
Starting point is 00:32:44 which was a really important song to me in my life. And just released my song Ignite Your Fire, which was a really important song to me in my life. And then I saw this Ignite Your Fire workshop and I had the pleasure of attending it this week. And I just want to say thank you to her for giving a vulnerable space to voice, to help empower people to feel their sensuality and to speak out and take space. So thanks, Anna. We love your feels and for being who you are in the world. And then our almost second last segment for today is something we call the Gems. So the Gems are a space to share how your week's been, if there's something that you've learned,
Starting point is 00:33:23 something that's maybe been tough or interesting, something you have gratitude for. So I'll share and then you're welcome to share if you want, Amandine. I was really, really grateful. I had a really interesting event on last Thursday and I'm still feeling the gems and feels from it, so I'd like to mention it. But it was our very first Friday Feels Mixer. And we did a joint event with the Founders Runners Club in Paris. The FRC is quite a global community,
Starting point is 00:33:52 but the Paris chapter, we were able to come together and host the event at South African Bar, La Pomme Dev, and close to the Panthillon. And it was just a great, great event where we got to connect and be silly together and have chats about our thing to community and I just really, really appreciated everyone and so I'm still feeling the feels from that. I still have a lot of gratitude for being able to share that space and we've got another event coming up on Sunday in celebration of Women's Day called Divine
Starting point is 00:34:25 Woman and Wine. It's quite a combo, woman and wine, so I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. And yeah, I'm just really, really grateful for sharing local community while building this global community online. It's quite nice to be able to have that in-person feel. So yeah, that was mine. What has been your gem for the week? Oh, my gem for the week. It's not going to be as inspiring of what you just shared,
Starting point is 00:34:53 a little more humble. But I think my true moment of the week was when I brought my best friend to join one of my live sessions. and it was just nice to bring someone who does not necessarily speak very well English, who is not used to those moments, but was still able to appreciate the energy of the people that were there and what we were all trying to accomplish. So I would say, yeah, that was my little humble nuggets
Starting point is 00:35:24 in the week. I really love that. I really love it. And I think that's a, it's so beautiful when you don't necessarily understand because you actually so much more in touch with what is happening around you. Our other sensations become alive. So I really love that you had that moment and thank you for sharing that. And then I do have one more question for you
Starting point is 00:35:46 before we do end off. And this is one we also have been asking people and it's something we're calling the stack. So it's a reading list. It's maybe you have some recommended books, books that have touched your life or maybe some that you'd like to read that have been on the pile.
Starting point is 00:36:04 If you have a recommendation. that have been on the pile. If you have a recommendation. This is literally on my pile. Something about, you know, it was written by Barbara Bowers, Dr. and she writes about the aura. So that's literally on my pile right now. And one thing that I would love to share with you, let me try to find, I have my
Starting point is 00:36:26 little app with all these audio books that I'm always listening to, Eileen De Micacic. If you're interested in sound healing, she is definitely the person you want to listen, you know, read from. Her book, Body Electric Health, is the one that I've been listening to lately. She shares a lot about science. She, she's a doctor as well. And so she explained, you know, her, her journey through sound healing, how she went from medical doctor to more into that world. And yeah, if you're, if you're curious about sound healing and the science behind it's definitely
Starting point is 00:37:01 good read. I love that. Yeah. I'm definitely adding that one to my stack. Thank you. Appreciate that recommendation. And for whoever is keen, we'll put it up on the website and you can head over there and we'll put the Amazon link if you want to buy it or get access to it. So that's awesome.
Starting point is 00:37:20 And then a really important one, I want to know how can the community connect with you? Where can they find you? Sure. Well, I have a website. It's very difficult, so I hope that we can put it in the description. But it's my name, amandineLRH.com. You can also get to that website by typing Harmonic Odyssey.
Starting point is 00:37:42 And I'm also available on TikTok, Instagram, BlueSky, under the same handle, Amandine LRH. So yeah, and I'm there, you know, if you DM me on one of those, I will be the one to respond and yeah, I'm always there to answer questions and talk about, you know, what people are struggling with and see how I can help them. So do not hesitate. Amazing, we love that. We'll definitely share all of that in the social. So for whoever didn't catch that,
Starting point is 00:38:13 it will be there to click on. And yeah, thank you so much for sharing all of your beautiful light and energy that you're giving to the world. I'm grateful you did not become a nun and I'm grateful that you are doing what you are doing. No offense to them about this. But the fact that you are sharing your voice
Starting point is 00:38:33 in such a beautiful way is just inspiring. And for me as an artist, as someone who's also creating in music, and yeah, it just helps to be able to hear these stories and to know that there's a space to share and together and yeah, I really, really appreciate that. So for whoever's listening out there, I wonder what everyone's wondering and thinking about natural living, about harmonizing energy and about sound healing and whether it's something you want to a try. And we want to hear all the feels.
Starting point is 00:39:05 So thank you, Amandine. And I hope that we do get to give hugs very soon in person as well. Here or at our studio.
