Candy Motzek:

Hey welcome to sheet coaches coaches, I'm your

Candy Motzek:

host, Kandi motsek. And I'm going to help you find the

Candy Motzek:

clarity, confidence and courage to become the coach that you are

Candy Motzek:

meant to be. If you're a new coach, or if you've always

Candy Motzek:

wanted to be a life coach, then this is the place for you. We're

Candy Motzek:

going to talk all about mindset and strategies and how to

Candy Motzek:

because step by step only works when you have the clarity,

Candy Motzek:

courage and confidence to take action. Let's get started.

Candy Motzek:

Hi, everyone, and welcome to this episode of she coaches

Candy Motzek:

coaches. Today, I have got a special guest episode, I'm using

Candy Motzek:

these Ask the Expert episodes to bring all kinds of different

Candy Motzek:

perspectives to you, and windows into different types of

Candy Motzek:

coaching. And really just from this, this place of if you could

Candy Motzek:

see what some of the other people are doing in the coaching

Candy Motzek:

and more integrated areas, it might open possibilities up for

Candy Motzek:

you. So let me introduce you to my guest. Her name is Melissa.

Candy Motzek:

And she worked in corporate. You guys know this thing, right?

Candy Motzek:

This corporate world shows up in a lot of these episodes. She was

Candy Motzek:

in corporate for 24 years, until as she says, One day a big fish

Candy Motzek:

bought the little fish. And here's the more important part.

Candy Motzek:

And then she was given one hour to clear out her desk, and no

Candy Motzek:

word of thanks, like big clunk there. So this led Melissa on a

Candy Motzek:

journey to reinvent herself. And seven years later, she is an

Candy Motzek:

integrative health practitioner, and registered health coach.

Candy Motzek:

She's dedicated to helping her clients discover the root cause

Candy Motzek:

of their health issues, and truly heal. But it wasn't always

Candy Motzek:

that way. Now Melissa's business is 100%, virtual, she works with

Candy Motzek:

the entire English speaking world. And she uses a two prong

Candy Motzek:

approach. Let me just read this to you because it's fascinating.

Candy Motzek:

And then I'm going to let her dive in and tell us more about

Candy Motzek:

it. She helps you to discover your toxic load and lower it.

Candy Motzek:

And also to discover your body's imbalances and support it with

Candy Motzek:

natural supplements and herbs. So the body can come back into

Candy Motzek:

balance, at which point it will heal itself. And this is done

Candy Motzek:

through the use of functional medicine lab tests that are

Candy Motzek:

mailed to your home. She's a very, very interesting

Candy Motzek:

professional. And I really wanted you to hear her message.

Candy Motzek:

Melissa, welcome. Glad you're here today.

Melissa Deally:

Thank you so much for having me candy. I'm

Melissa Deally:

excited to be here and have this conversation with you. So tell

Melissa Deally:

me,

Candy Motzek:

it's such a fascinating bio. Tell me a

Candy Motzek:

little bit more about the journey. I would love to hear

Candy Motzek:

more about it.

Melissa Deally:

Thank you candy. And when I go back to that

Melissa Deally:

moment in time, which was such a momentous shift in my life of

Melissa Deally:

being let go after 24 years. I knew three things in that moment

Melissa Deally:

as I was clearing out my desk, that I wasn't ever going to work

Melissa Deally:

for someone else again, that whatever I did next had to be of

Melissa Deally:

more benefit to humanity and the planet. And that three, I had no

Melissa Deally:

idea what I was going to do next. But I was open to being

Melissa Deally:

guided and guided I was later that year, I stumbled upon a

Melissa Deally:

company that specialized in brain health supplementation.

Melissa Deally:

And I thought, well, that's interesting, because I use my

Melissa Deally:

brain 24/7 And no one's ever told me that I could be doing

Melissa Deally:

more for my brain. And I knew there was near epidemic rates of

Melissa Deally:

Alzheimer's and dementia over here. But I also knew that I had

Melissa Deally:

a grandmother, who was 99 at the time, still living at home by

Melissa Deally:

herself fully caring for herself fully cognitively functioning.

Melissa Deally:

So I thought, well, I want to be on her path. And I wondered

Melissa Deally:

though, okay, I have good genes, but is that enough in today's

Melissa Deally:

world, and it got me thinking about her life. She was born in

Melissa Deally:

little Christchurch, New Zealand in 1916, before World War Two in

Melissa Deally:

the advent of all our toxins we have today and growing all their

Melissa Deally:

own food on the property. And I was actually raised in Tokyo,

Melissa Deally:

Japan, in the 1970s during the height of manufacturing plants

Melissa Deally:

spilling out toxins. We've all seen those photos of

Melissa Deally:

manufacturing plants spewing toxins out into the atmosphere.

Melissa Deally:

So I realized right there that I was behind the eight ball

Melissa Deally:

relative to my grandmother because I was going to be way

Melissa Deally:

more toxic. And so I thought well, I want to do more for my

Melissa Deally:

brain is the starting point and I jumped in started learning

Melissa Deally:

about the brain and learning about toxicity toxic load on our

Melissa Deally:

body and how that it was impacting our health and for

Melissa Deally:

about four months later, my oldest daughter got a concussion

Melissa Deally:

in her first grade 12 soccer game of the season. And she had

Melissa Deally:

just started using this brain supplement and was on the way to

Melissa Deally:

soccer game saying it was really helping her focus during class

Melissa Deally:

in the afternoon, I started going to all of her appointments

Melissa Deally:

with her, because a I had started building relationships

Melissa Deally:

with a physiotherapist because of this nutrition for the brain.

Melissa Deally:

But also because she didn't have the cognitive ability to go and

Melissa Deally:

then come home and tell me what they'd said she should be doing

Melissa Deally:

so I could, you know, help support her during the week

Melissa Deally:

between her appointments. And so I continued my learning about

Melissa Deally:

the brain. Two months after that, my second daughter got a

Melissa Deally:

concussion, I was driving to Vancouver, and I got a phone

Melissa Deally:

call from the high schools asking me to go pick her up

Melissa Deally:

because she had a suspected concussion from grade eight gym

Melissa Deally:

class. In that moment, I literally looked out my

Melissa Deally:

windshield across the ocean up at the heavens, and when really,

Melissa Deally:

this is how you show me my path. Stop taking out my children. So

Melissa Deally:

now I have two very different concussions in the household,

Melissa Deally:

great nutrition for the brain and started going to both sets

Melissa Deally:

of appointments. And that was kind of the birth of your guided

Melissa Deally:

health journey, because I realized what other people do

Melissa Deally:

that don't have a mom that is conveniently not working right

Melissa Deally:

now. Everything happens for us, right? Yes, yeah. to guide their

Melissa Deally:

healing journey.

Candy Motzek:

And it just means me think about it makes me think

Candy Motzek:

about concussion management, and how that is such an ongoing

Candy Motzek:

issue. So many developments in that area. I'm really interested

Candy Motzek:

in how you had the supplementation, along with the

Candy Motzek:

management. And then thankfully, of course, that you are able to

Candy Motzek:

put the time and the energy into supporting your daughter's

Candy Motzek:

recovery. So yeah, continue. Just I just wanted to kind of

Candy Motzek:

chime in there. I'm like the voice of the listener in your

Candy Motzek:

ears.

Melissa Deally:

No problem at all. And so yes, I continued

Melissa Deally:

learning as I continued guiding my daughters and supporting

Melissa Deally:

them. And we live in a small town. So people knew our story

Melissa Deally:

and started calling me and saying, Oh, my husband has got a

Melissa Deally:

concussion. What do I do I have an employee with a concussion.

Melissa Deally:

What do I do? My child has a concussion, what do I do? And I

Melissa Deally:

was invited around that same time to work at a holistic

Melissa Deally:

clinic that was opening to support to the many people with

Melissa Deally:

concussions. I live in Whistler, BC downhill ski resort in the

Melissa Deally:

winter, a downhill biking resort in the summer, right, lots of

Melissa Deally:

concussions, and lots of experts. But nobody was bringing

Melissa Deally:

the nutritional piece to it that I had, as well as, luckily for

Melissa Deally:

all of the other practitioners, they hadn't actually had

Melissa Deally:

concussions. And so what I was hearing from people is they

Melissa Deally:

really loved working with me, because I truly knew what they

Melissa Deally:

were going through. And I had that empathy. And I wasn't just

Melissa Deally:

telling them go do this. I was explaining why they needed to be

Melissa Deally:

doing things and how it might feel and how they needed to be

Melissa Deally:

listening to their bodies, et cetera, et cetera. They just

Melissa Deally:

felt more supported. And so the next thing that kind of threw a

Melissa Deally:

spanner in my works and got me onto the right path was it I

Melissa Deally:

couldn't actually work at that clinic until I had insurance,

Melissa Deally:

liability insurance, which I couldn't get because no

Melissa Deally:

insurance company would touch me because I had no education. I

Melissa Deally:

simply had experience and my own research and knowledge, which is

Melissa Deally:

education, but it wasn't a certified education. Oh, yeah,

Melissa Deally:

yeah. Right. So at this point, I decided, okay, I should become a

Melissa Deally:

life coach, which had been floating around in the back of

Melissa Deally:

my head ever since I've been let go. But it hadn't landed. But I

Melissa Deally:

thought, okay, now's the time, I need to do this. And I contact a

Melissa Deally:

friend who is a life coach and a very successful life coach, I

Melissa Deally:

said, Where did you do your training? I'd like to do a life

Melissa Deally:

coaching course where you did yours. And he just said to me,

Melissa Deally:

you don't want to be a life coach. You need to be a health

Melissa Deally:

coach. And I went, Wow, what's that? Like? I never heard the

Melissa Deally:

term before. But again, it was just another like complete

Melissa Deally:

download gift from the universe, right? It landed immediately,

Melissa Deally:

which is why the life coaching had never landed since I've been

Melissa Deally:

let go, because in this time, a good 18 months is fast. And so I

Melissa Deally:

started Googling health coaching courses, found one that I

Melissa Deally:

absolutely loved. And literally within 10 days, I'd started with

Melissa Deally:

their next cohort. And from there, I never looked back like

Melissa Deally:

I knew I'd landed I knew I'd found my purpose, my passion,

Melissa Deally:

and I couldn't get enough of it. And again, over the course of

Melissa Deally:

two years, because I did several levels of it. I did my life

Melissa Deally:

coaching but I just didn't have the same passion for it, but it

Melissa Deally:

was included as an add on course so I went ahead and did it. They

Melissa Deally:

then introduced me to the integrative health practitioner

Melissa Deally:

organization. And when I saw the work of Dr. Steven Cooper, all

Melissa Deally:

and The ability to run functional medicine lab test to

Melissa Deally:

see what is going on inside the body, and where those imbalances

Melissa Deally:

are, and how we can support the body and coming back into

Melissa Deally:

balance. And it will heal itself because that's what it's

Melissa Deally:

designed to do. That's when I knew that's the path I want to

Melissa Deally:

go down. Because people need to see that, right, we don't see

Melissa Deally:

what's going on inside our body, we don't see the toxins inside.

Melissa Deally:

We don't realize when we're living in a state of chronic

Melissa Deally:

stress, we're burning through our vitamins and minerals and

Melissa Deally:

becoming depleted. We don't realize when our gut is in

Melissa Deally:

dysbiosis, or, you know, that's another word of saying out of

Melissa Deally:

balance, or you might have bacterial overgrowth, yeast

Melissa Deally:

overgrowth, all of these things that can happen for so many

Melissa Deally:

reasons in today's world, when we get in that state, our body

Melissa Deally:

can't heal. When we create the environment for it to heal, when

Melissa Deally:

we know what's going on, it will heal very, very quickly. And

Melissa Deally:

that's what I love about our body. And so that was my

Melissa Deally:

journey,

Candy Motzek:

just a sec, there's so there's a couple of

Candy Motzek:

things here that I want people to really notice is that along

Candy Motzek:

the way, and it's not that it always has to be this way. But

Candy Motzek:

your experience, and especially how you described it so

Candy Motzek:

eloquently is that there were sort of milestones or critical

Candy Motzek:

events that happened, critical questions that were answered.

Candy Motzek:

And but so often, in your case, it was along with something that

Candy Motzek:

was difficult, you know, a daughter that was injured,

Candy Motzek:

another daughter that was injured, a loss of a job. And so

Candy Motzek:

I really want the you know, the listeners to know that, to be

Candy Motzek:

able to take that step back and get that perspective. Sometimes

Candy Motzek:

you're not going to get that perspective, looking forward. Or

Candy Motzek:

in the moment, you've had lots of water under the bridge, and

Candy Motzek:

you've taken those those events. And you could have left them as

Candy Motzek:

very difficult events, but you took them and you change them.

Candy Motzek:

You took them and you use a new perspective, you use them as a

Candy Motzek:

springboard to the next thing. And so I really want the

Candy Motzek:

listeners to think about that. What has happened in your life,

Candy Motzek:

that maybe if you had a fresh perspective, you could look at

Candy Motzek:

this as a guided place, like Melissa's website is your guided

Candy Motzek:

health journey. Where are you being guided to become the coach

Candy Motzek:

that you are meant to be? Where is your life giving you signs?

Candy Motzek:

So just wanted to interject and sort of layer that on there,

Candy Motzek:

because I think it's like, you've got such a great story.

Candy Motzek:

But we forget that it didn't happen in the five minutes that

Candy Motzek:

you explained it to us every single time you had to turn

Candy Motzek:

around and look for meaning every single time you had to

Candy Motzek:

learn around it and reframe it and get a new perspective and

Candy Motzek:

then still keep moving forward. And so I just really wanted to

Candy Motzek:

honor that.

Melissa Deally:

Well, thank you very much. And you're so right.

Melissa Deally:

And still today. I am reminded of this yesterday, I was doing a

Melissa Deally:

podcast interview and we were talking about the fact that

Melissa Deally:

things happen for us, not to us. So exactly as you say, when it's

Melissa Deally:

happening for us when we can put ourselves in that mindset and

Melissa Deally:

step back and say, What am I supposed to learn from this, we

Melissa Deally:

can give ourselves that space to move forward instead of feeling

Melissa Deally:

all upset that it's not working out the way we want beating

Melissa Deally:

ourselves up and kind of getting stuck in that place. Right. And

Melissa Deally:

so there was a lot of personal growth through this time, for me

Melissa Deally:

a lot of reading a lot of, you know, digging into a number of

Melissa Deally:

different books, et cetera. And right now I'm reading atomic

Melissa Deally:

habits with my book club group. And we just started it we

Melissa Deally:

literally to chapter one yesterday. And in that book,

Melissa Deally:

he's talking about how nobody is an overnight success. We think

Melissa Deally:

they are because we don't know the story of the 10 years of

Melissa Deally:

hard work that it took them before they suddenly shot to

Melissa Deally:

being famous, right? But overnight success isn't a thing.

Melissa Deally:

It's hitting, you know, atomic habits he's talking about. It's

Melissa Deally:

the it's the success comes from the habits that you build upon,

Melissa Deally:

build upon build upon and the consistency that you take with

Melissa Deally:

those habits over time. And so I totally agree with what you're

Melissa Deally:

saying that it is a journey. And a lot some of our greatest wins

Melissa Deally:

come from the difficulties that we encounter along the way,

Melissa Deally:

because they're there to teach us something. They're there to

Melissa Deally:

change my path. Health and wellness was never ever on my

Melissa Deally:

radar. In my conscious world, I should say. I went to

Melissa Deally:

university, I did a commerce degree. I went into accounting.

Melissa Deally:

I flipped out of that into sales because I spoke Japanese and it

Melissa Deally:

was the heyday of Japanese coming here and I loved it. And

Melissa Deally:

then from there Still, when I was let go health and wellness

Melissa Deally:

was not on my radar. But it was I was pointed in this direction.

Melissa Deally:

And when I got here, as I said, I couldn't believe how much I

Melissa Deally:

loved it. I knew I'd landed, I couldn't stop studying, I wanted

Melissa Deally:

to learn more and more and more. Because I finally found my path

Melissa Deally:

and purpose. And what's super interesting is I had my Akashic

Melissa Deally:

Records read at the end of December 30, December 2020. And

Melissa Deally:

those are the that's the library of your your souls library,

Melissa Deally:

right. And I learned that I'd been a healer. In all my past

Melissa Deally:

lives, I'd been a white, which I had been a wizard, I come from

Melissa Deally:

the Mary Magdalene alliances, that was super fascinating to

Melissa Deally:

me, but gave me even more clarity, because I wondered how

Melissa Deally:

can I absorb all of this information so quickly?

Candy Motzek:

Well, and the perfect answer to the question,

Candy Motzek:

but you would never have even asked the question. If you

Candy Motzek:

hadn't been at that part. Right? Exactly. weren't ready, you

Candy Motzek:

weren't ready for the answer? Because you don't even know the

Candy Motzek:

question exists. Exactly. Fascinating. Yeah. And it just

Candy Motzek:

makes me Well, sorry, you can see my little brain here. If

Candy Motzek:

anybody is looking at the video, you'll see my brain, I've got

Candy Motzek:

five different questions happening at one time. Let's

Candy Motzek:

just focus down a little bit more on how you work with

Candy Motzek:

people. And the purpose of this is to give that window for other

Candy Motzek:

coaches who are listening thinking, like maybe they know

Candy Motzek:

coaching is for them, but maybe they feel like they're, I don't

Candy Motzek:

know, it's kind of like when you have your your cross country

Candy Motzek:

skis and the grooves and one ski is not quite in that groove,

Candy Motzek:

like, you know, you're kind of almost there, but not quite. So

Candy Motzek:

talk more about how you work with people, because maybe

Candy Motzek:

somebody else can hear that and find that groove for themselves.

Melissa Deally:

I love that analogy, being a cross country

Melissa Deally:

skier. So I know exactly what you're talking about. My entry

Melissa Deally:

program with every single person I work with, is my detox

Melissa Deally:

program, which I offer as a group program or a one to one

Melissa Deally:

program, but they must do a detox. And the reason for that

Melissa Deally:

is that if we're going to be running labs, and we're going to

Melissa Deally:

be discovering those deficiencies, and we're going to

Melissa Deally:

be putting in healing protocols, et cetera, et cetera, I want

Melissa Deally:

those healing protocols to be effective, I want them to get to

Melissa Deally:

the cells that need them. And if we've got a whole bunch of toxic

Melissa Deally:

mush inside our body that we do have, we just don't see it. The

Melissa Deally:

effectiveness of the healing protocol is much, much less, I

Melissa Deally:

liken it to the image of an overflowing garbage bin in a

Melissa Deally:

city park, we've all seen that it's overflowing, you come along

Melissa Deally:

and you put a healthy apple on top. Where does that Apple land

Melissa Deally:

on the ground next to the garbage bin, it does not go down

Melissa Deally:

inside where we want it to go. And that's the same even if we

Melissa Deally:

start putting healthy stuff into our body, it's not getting to

Melissa Deally:

the cells that need it. But when we clear our detox pathways,

Melissa Deally:

then everything can get to the cells that need it, and people

Melissa Deally:

get results. And even in my detox, which is a 21 day detox,

Melissa Deally:

people get results inside those three weeks. And here's the

Melissa Deally:

thing that I found really powerful that other coaches can

Melissa Deally:

figure out for their own business. The detox price point

Melissa Deally:

is a pretty low range price point, when you look at the

Melissa Deally:

value people get out of it. But what it does is many people come

Melissa Deally:

to me and they're hesitant about detoxes, they've maybe got

Melissa Deally:

health issues going on and they're struggling to get

Melissa Deally:

answers. You don't know if I can really help them because so many

Melissa Deally:

other people haven't. But in three weeks, their

Melissa Deally:

transformation begins. And they start to believe that they're on

Melissa Deally:

the right track. And when they believe they're on the right

Melissa Deally:

track. And they then that's when their healing can truly start

Melissa Deally:

happening. Right. So in three weeks, people will notice their

Melissa Deally:

inflammation goes down. So aches and pains go away, they might

Melissa Deally:

start sleeping better, they might have less brain fog, more

Melissa Deally:

mental clarity, there's so many benefits to a detox and each

Melissa Deally:

person has their own results that you know, kind of all

Melissa Deally:

overlap into about 10 different common benefits, right? Even

Melissa Deally:

just one benefit. And they're like, Oh wow, there's something

Melissa Deally:

to this, I've finally found the person that can help me. And so

Melissa Deally:

that's powerful for building that relationship, and then

Melissa Deally:

building them into further work with me, whether that be lab

Melissa Deally:

tests, you know, one to one coaching, etc. Another group

Melissa Deally:

program, whatever that is, because they now know that their

Melissa Deally:

body truly can heal itself. It is what it was designed to do.

Melissa Deally:

We're just not taught that through our education system. We

Melissa Deally:

think you know, many of us think that I get sick, I go to the

Melissa Deally:

doctor, they give me a pill they make me better. But the reality

Melissa Deally:

is, that's a lot of pressure to put on our doctors. They don't

Melissa Deally:

make you better They're trying to help them do the best they

Melissa Deally:

can, the system is pretty broken, you know, seven minute

Melissa Deally:

appointments, 15 minute appointments, they don't get to

Melissa Deally:

know your whole health history at cetera, et cetera. But it

Melissa Deally:

ultimately it's you that's responsible for your health. And

Melissa Deally:

when you find a doctor or somebody that you can work in

Melissa Deally:

partnership with, that's when you can get the results that you

Melissa Deally:

want. And so that's what I offer somebody to work in partnership

Melissa Deally:

with me, and I guide them, because the other piece that's

Melissa Deally:

really important is the body doesn't heal in a stress state.

Melissa Deally:

So if you're trying to figure it all out on your own, you're

Melissa Deally:

still in that stress state. And you're not sure if you're doing

Melissa Deally:

it right, then you might be going to Dr. Google. And that's

Melissa Deally:

not the best place either, because anybody can self

Melissa Deally:

diagnose themselves.

Candy Motzek:

be sick with anything. I actually vice your

Candy Motzek:

med student problems.

Melissa Deally:

Yeah, exactly. So I ask people to stay away

Melissa Deally:

from Dr. Google. But that's what happens when you don't have

Melissa Deally:

support. When you have support, when you have someone that can

Melissa Deally:

show you what's going on inside your body. And this is what we

Melissa Deally:

need to do about it. You just need to trust in the process,

Melissa Deally:

you start getting the results, your trust builds your belief

Melissa Deally:

builds, and guess what you heal. And it's incredibly powerful,

Melissa Deally:

our bodies designed to heal, and our body imbalanced, doesn't get

Melissa Deally:

sick, doesn't harbor illness, and doesn't hold on to excess

Melissa Deally:

weight. The problem is, is that our lifestyle today has uh, so

Melissa Deally:

far out of balance, the body's to deplete to come back. And

Melissa Deally:

we're out of balance because of high stress, poor sleep, poor

Melissa Deally:

nutrition.

Candy Motzek:

So there's a number of parallels here, and

Candy Motzek:

the parts that I have heard and, you know, so from a, an

Candy Motzek:

educational standpoint, for the listeners to understand this way

Candy Motzek:

of looking at their body and creating a partnership to own

Candy Motzek:

their health and their recovery is very important. And at the

Candy Motzek:

same time for new coaches thinking about can I become a

Candy Motzek:

coach, is this something that I can do, whether it's a health

Candy Motzek:

coach, or a relationship coach, or a life coach of any type,

Candy Motzek:

some of the key points that you've said are, people are a

Candy Motzek:

little bit nervous coming in, the easiest way for them to gain

Candy Motzek:

trust in both themselves and in their coach is to help them get

Candy Motzek:

results quickly. And not just results that the coach shows

Candy Motzek:

them, but results that they feel themselves the change in their

Candy Motzek:

life, the benefit in their life. And then one of the other things

Candy Motzek:

that I work strongly with is belief. You know, when you

Candy Motzek:

believe that it's working, and you start to trust, the past is

Candy Motzek:

so much easier, because you're not dealing with all that

Candy Motzek:

resistance. So what you've described is partnership, which

Candy Motzek:

is massive, not trying to do it all on your own, again, massive,

Candy Motzek:

who wants to do everything on their own, it's a lonely, hard

Candy Motzek:

journey, not just for your body's health in your life, but

Candy Motzek:

for your emotional health and for your spiritual health as

Candy Motzek:

well. So a quick result, helping your client to know they're

Candy Motzek:

getting that result, building that trust, allowing that trust

Candy Motzek:

to build organically because of the expertise that you bring to

Candy Motzek:

them. That is the secret for having an impact on your clients

Candy Motzek:

lives. And when we help our clients, we can't help but be

Candy Motzek:

successful in all that outer and all the other ways as well. But

Candy Motzek:

it starts with trust, and belief, and partnership and

Candy Motzek:

connection. Right? What do you think

Melissa Deally:

you've said that so beautifully, I couldn't have

Melissa Deally:

said it better myself?

Candy Motzek:

Well, I just said what you said, but in different

Candy Motzek:

words,

Melissa Deally:

more succinctly. So I love that. And then the

Melissa Deally:

piece that I like to add to that, too, is that we're always

Melissa Deally:

working on ourselves. So in order for us to hold that space

Melissa Deally:

for our clients, we need to make sure we are supported as well.

Melissa Deally:

And so I have a couple of different coaches. I have a

Melissa Deally:

mentor and I have a business coach. And I've built a tribe of

Melissa Deally:

people around me that believe in me, which further helps me

Melissa Deally:

believe in myself because we all have good days and bad days,

Melissa Deally:

right? And when our belief dips, I've got those people to go back

Melissa Deally:

to to remind me that I too need to trust in the process. And I

Melissa Deally:

recently did another whole week of training, which was

Melissa Deally:

absolutely phenomenal. It was super intense. And my Word of

Melissa Deally:

the Week was surrender. That just came through to me loud and

Melissa Deally:

clear and stop trying to make it hard. It doesn't have to be

Melissa Deally:

hard. You can let it be easy. So you In letting it be easy that

Melissa Deally:

is surrendering for me. Right. And this training was NLP and

Melissa Deally:

then timeline therapy and hypnotherapy. So more modalities

Melissa Deally:

to be working with clients on their emotional and their mental

Melissa Deally:

beings, as in addition to the work that I do on their physical

Melissa Deally:

being in order to give them that really well rounded support and

Melissa Deally:

their healing journey. But in order for me to do that, I still

Melissa Deally:

have to look after me, I have to walk my talk. I, you know, I

Melissa Deally:

make sure I get my physical exercise in every single day, I

Melissa Deally:

recently bought a mirror, which I totally love so that I can do

Melissa Deally:

it anytime at home. I have changed the way I eat over the

Melissa Deally:

last seven years, because I have so many AHA eyes when I came out

Melissa Deally:

of the corporate world and into health coaching going, how come?

Melissa Deally:

I didn't know that? Why didn't someone tell me that? How is it

Melissa Deally:

that I'm 40 plus years old, and I don't even know this. And then

Melissa Deally:

I realized, because I was so busy being a mom and a wife and

Melissa Deally:

and working in the corporate world, I just didn't have time

Melissa Deally:

to learn it. And oh, wow, that probably means there's millions

Melissa Deally:

of other people out there that don't know, that I could share

Melissa Deally:

this with in bite sized pieces. And through the programs that I

Melissa Deally:

create, which is why I come back to education. Because I'm so

Melissa Deally:

passionate about all that I learned and sharing that with

Melissa Deally:

others that don't have time to go back to school for three plus

Melissa Deally:

years that I did

Candy Motzek:

a great resource you are for other people, right?

Candy Motzek:

Like, it's like they can you can be there Google?

Melissa Deally:

Yes. Integrity.

Candy Motzek:

I'm thinking about that. And the other end, that's

Candy Motzek:

kind of interesting to

Melissa Deally:

add in there very quickly. I'm the first to

Melissa Deally:

say, I don't know everything, it's impossible for anybody to

Melissa Deally:

know everything.

Candy Motzek:

Everything either.

Melissa Deally:

I now have this amazing network of other healers

Melissa Deally:

and doctors that I can tap into. So when people ask me questions,

Melissa Deally:

and I don't know the answer, I'll say, You know what? I don't

Melissa Deally:

know the answer to that. But let me find out and get back to you.

Melissa Deally:

And then I learned in the process as well.

Candy Motzek:

Wonderful. Yeah. There's, when you were talking

Candy Motzek:

about your network of people that are around you, it makes me

Candy Motzek:

It reminds me of the difference between this kind of business

Candy Motzek:

and what draws a lot of my clients to this kind of

Candy Motzek:

businesses that corporate often is stuck with a lot of

Candy Motzek:

dashboards and KPIs and measurements and

Candy Motzek:

competitiveness, and doing more with less, which is such a

Candy Motzek:

different approach than these types of businesses. The

Candy Motzek:

businesses have coaching, and integrative health, and this

Candy Motzek:

where we have collaboration, and we get the synchronicity, and we

Candy Motzek:

get the the, the result that is exponentially so much bigger,

Candy Motzek:

from what each person could do on their own. And that is

Candy Motzek:

something that I notice, not everywhere, of course, but has

Candy Motzek:

been slowly lacking and much of corporate. And I think that's

Candy Motzek:

one of the reasons there are so many people who want to do

Candy Motzek:

something different. Because they have that they know there's

Candy Motzek:

something more maybe they can't put their finger on it. And I'm

Candy Motzek:

hoping that you know, hearing your story, they can get that

Candy Motzek:

thought of, oh, there is something more here for me it is

Candy Motzek:

possible. And it can be even more than just me. It can be

Candy Motzek:

myself, my contribution, my clients and all the people that

Candy Motzek:

I gather around, who are resources and supportive. What

Candy Motzek:

do you think?

Melissa Deally:

And the ripple effect of that is powerful. And

Melissa Deally:

you may never know it. But you know what's happening, right? I

Melissa Deally:

just had an email from a woman in Australia yesterday who said,

Melissa Deally:

I just discovered your podcast, and oh my god, I love it. I

Melissa Deally:

can't wait for more episodes. Like how random is that? Right?

Melissa Deally:

I had no idea there were people listening in Australia. And

Melissa Deally:

maybe I don't know, very much. I really appreciate that. And

Melissa Deally:

would you mind writing a review so that more Australians can

Melissa Deally:

find it because your review will show up in Australia? It doesn't

Melissa Deally:

show up in Canada, right? So there is this massive ripple

Melissa Deally:

effect. And it's interesting because again, I was having a

Melissa Deally:

it's actually my LinkedIn post today I was talking about the

Melissa Deally:

movie dark waters, which I just watched this weekend after a

Melissa Deally:

client who had done my detox, told me about it and said, Now I

Melissa Deally:

understand why you're so passionate about helping people

Melissa Deally:

detox. It's about corporate knowingly poisoning water supply

Melissa Deally:

in West Virginia. And choosing to keep doing that because

Melissa Deally:

dollars talk. Right? Yeah, similar to the Erin Brockovich

Melissa Deally:

movie, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, and that unfortunately, as

Melissa Deally:

I was thinking about it, corporate is so driven by making

Melissa Deally:

more money. It's all about making more money doing more

Melissa Deally:

with less you. We're gonna pay you a salary for 40 hours but we

Melissa Deally:

expect you to work 60 hours data Gotta right. And we get caught

Melissa Deally:

in this hamster wheel. And honestly, it's not fulfilling

Melissa Deally:

right now, how can you live in a place of joy, when you're just

Melissa Deally:

on this hamster wheel trying to survive still look after your

Melissa Deally:

family still put dinner on the table. And it's not even

Melissa Deally:

fulfilling. And I loved my job. But I am so much more fulfilled

Melissa Deally:

now in what I do, because just seeing the transformation in my

Melissa Deally:

clients and seeing them regain their health gives me so much

Melissa Deally:

joy,

Candy Motzek:

so much more to life. Right. And it's not and

Candy Motzek:

this isn't to disk corporate, it just has to, it has to sort of

Candy Motzek:

shine a light on an element that is present in some areas. And

Candy Motzek:

the more that we kind of shine that light on it, the more we

Candy Motzek:

realize the parts that don't work for us. And it doesn't mean

Candy Motzek:

that everybody who looks at something like that and goes,

Candy Motzek:

Oh, I don't like that doesn't mean they have to leave

Candy Motzek:

corporate, it means that maybe their maybe their path is in the

Candy Motzek:

changing

Melissa Deally:

of that status quo. Absolutely. And there are

Melissa Deally:

absolutely companies that are changing. I do sense a big shift

Melissa Deally:

in the world today a shift in the way people want their health

Melissa Deally:

care, but also a shift in the way people want their corporate

Melissa Deally:

work experience to be. And there are some amazing companies that

Melissa Deally:

are absolutely putting employees first and figuring out how can

Melissa Deally:

we make this better for people, you know, and realizing that if

Melissa Deally:

people work, you know, a three day work week and get four days

Melissa Deally:

off that ultimately, they're more productive in those three

Melissa Deally:

days, knowing that they're gonna get it all done in those three

Melissa Deally:

days, and they're not wasting time talking at the watercooler

Melissa Deally:

or looking at their phone or whatever, because they're just

Melissa Deally:

gonna get it done in three days, and then they get their four

Melissa Deally:

days off. There's amazing results from that. So there's

Melissa Deally:

definitely a shift that is happening. And like you said, if

Melissa Deally:

you're in it, you can be the driver of that change for your

Melissa Deally:

company.

Candy Motzek:

Right. Wow. Well, we covered a lot. We did. Yeah.

Candy Motzek:

Absolutely great having you. People find out more about you.

Candy Motzek:

What, what do you suggest Share, share the ways they can find out

Candy Motzek:

more about you?

Melissa Deally:

Well, the best way is my website, your guided

Melissa Deally:

health journey.com. I'm also on LinkedIn as Melissa daily and I

Melissa Deally:

post regularly there I do one minute little health hack videos

Melissa Deally:

three times a week, people can check out. I am on Facebook as

Melissa Deally:

Melissa, Delia as well. And the other thing that I'll do is I'll

Melissa Deally:

send you a link to my discover your toxic load quiz, which

Melissa Deally:

people can do to just take the quiz, find out how toxic EMI

Melissa Deally:

it's a bit of an aha for people where they might go, Yeah, I

Melissa Deally:

have that symptom. And I have that. And I have that. And I

Melissa Deally:

have that. And I just thought those were all aging, or I just

Melissa Deally:

thought they were seasonal allergies, or I just thought

Melissa Deally:

they were my genetics, not really realizing they could do

Melissa Deally:

something about it. And so you do the quiz, you get your

Melissa Deally:

answer. And if your score is high, guess what? nearly

Melissa Deally:

everyone's scores are high. But the great news is, is we can

Melissa Deally:

bring it down, and better to bring it down now, then wait

Melissa Deally:

another 10 years until that high score has started to trigger

Melissa Deally:

health issues. So that's a free gift I'll send to you for your

Melissa Deally:

clients. And once they do that quiz, they actually get invited

Melissa Deally:

into a complimentary call with me to discuss their results and

Melissa Deally:

what their health goals might be.

Candy Motzek:

Oh, that's wonderful. And I'll put all

Candy Motzek:

these links in the show notes. So anybody who's listening, I

Candy Motzek:

would highly encourage you to reach out to Melissa, go and get

Candy Motzek:
