3

:: 00:32

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: So.

4

:: 00:34

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's really great to have you here, and I know your story is so inspirational because I was checking you out over on your website, and

5

:: 00:44

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I've been stalking you for a while now. So why don't you tell the audience all about you how you got into what you're doing, and and your journey.

6

:: 00:53

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Awesome. Thank you for having me. I'm I love sharing my story and and hope to inspire others to keep dreaming.

7

:: 01:03

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: It's funny because my the name of my business now has really evolved to the art of living joyfully. But it's been you know, evolving over 36 years. I've been an entrepreneur. I was raised by entrepreneur parents, and I always knew that I just couldn't work for anybody else. When I was pregnant with my son, my 1st child. He's 35 now, and I knew that I couldn't go back to work. I wanted to raise him, so

8

:: 01:28

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: I was always looking for something to do while I could be at home. And I, you know, dabbled in some different things, like we all do when we're young. And then my husband and I, after some I could go on and on about that, but I don't wanna take away from the other. But we

9

:: 01:44

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: through a really beautiful process.

10

:: 01:47

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: We ended up buying a hundred year old farm in Central California, and I knew that I wanted to

11

:: 01:53

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: be at home and teach my children where their food came from, because I grew up in Beverly Hills, and I grew up in the seventies and the era where food was starting to be fast food, you know, TV dinners wrapped in plastic and.

12

:: 02:08

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So I know.

13

:: 02:09

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Right, and the seed oils were coming out, and all that stuff, and I thought my food came from the market.

14

:: 02:16

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and so I wanted to raise my kids and have them understand the process and so and grow our food, and then it quickly evolved. I wanted to have a lavender farm. I had visited one in Los Olivos, California, and I'd seen some in Europe, and I. We felt inspired to do that. So we ended up my husband and I, who was a builder.

15

:: 02:37

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: he retired from building and became a farmer. And farmers, by the way, are my favorite people because they're so optimistic because, despite what happens, year after year, they still go out and plant their seeds. So I love farmers, shout out to them, and we became one, and we had a farm stand, and we would sell our tomatoes and $300 in cash that day in our farm box, and we could leave the box out. Nobody would take it.

16

:: 03:00

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And my kids really learned, you know, what it was like to live off of the land and to be part of a community of people. We started with the wine tasting agritourism. Movement was just getting started, and I loved it. So we became the largest tourist draw in our town people loved coming there year after year we would cast the vision of what we were going to do, and then they'd come back and see it, and then I would round them into the store, and they'd buy all our wonderful products that we made there, and I would teach them about

17

:: 03:29

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: lavender, and you know, plant wellness, I've always been into alternative plant wellness growing up also in La. I think we were a little ahead of the time.

18

:: 03:38

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: so I've always loved it, and I really learned a lot about farming and growing, and so we would do everything from propagating to planting, harvesting, or tenders tending.

19

:: 03:53

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: then harvesting, then distilling, then bottling or packaging, labeling, marketing.

20

:: 03:58

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and I was a Chamber of Commerce Ambassador. So we were welcoming to the community, and I absolutely loved it. It was my dream life. People would roll out of the car to have some lavender lemonade and tell me I was living their dream, and I would be able to talk to them for 30 min to an hour and share these wonderful stories I have that I was growing up with really incredibly interesting people in my life that I wanted to share, that they could live their dreams, and they didn't need to ever give up. And we were. We were living Testament.

21

:: 04:26

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: So then we got a loan. I spent some time with the small business administration to hone my business skills, and we got a loan from the Usda to take it to the next level.

22

:: 04:37

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and we went on our 1st vacation in 3 and a half years, and I stepped in a hole on my husband's 60th birthday at 12 noon, and life completely changed

23

:: 04:45

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: instead of vacation. It was 5 days in the hospital. Really difficult surgery almost lost my leg and had 4 surgeries after that, just just to keep it so

24

:: 04:57

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: life changes like having a stroke you have to relearn to walk. And my beautiful concert hall at my farm where we lived became the hospital hall, and life just changed overnight, and I

25

:: 05:11

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: the previous year. I had one business person of the year for bringing an industry to the area that was needed, and we had helped other people start lavender farms. I was the Lavender Lady. I loved it. It was my legacy for my family. I had birthed it. We planted all 14,000 plants, we built the house with our hands. It was ours, and so quickly, within a year we realized that we were going to have to sell, and we ended up selling it short and walking away and bankrupted by the medical emergency.

26

:: 05:40

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: not prepared nowhere in the business plan.

27

:: 05:43

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: nowhere did it say how to be prepared for something like that.

28

:: 05:47

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: What's your plan? B. What are you going to do? And I felt very upset, and I was also teaching Pilates at the farm for years, and I was teaching women how to have a tight transversus abdominis, so if they, they'd be less likely to break a hip.

29

:: 06:02

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: you know it would save their life. And so when I stepped in a hole and went down so hard and lost everything, I got very resentful.

30

:: 06:09

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and when I look back on that person I'm I'm shocked. But I was also under the duress of heavy medication and a lot of pain, and I don't do well with medication, so I had to quickly get off of that, and then cannabis was my only savior

31

:: 06:25

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: because I don't do well with pharmaceuticals. I do well with plants, plant medicine. I'm an advocate. So for healing, especially for trauma, we're finding it to be such a benefit. So I had a lot of trauma to work through which I've been doing for.

32

:: 06:39

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And please interrupt me because I could talk on and on. If you need to ask me anything, just go, hey?

33

:: 06:45

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Cause I can keep going.

34

:: 06:47

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Keep going.

35

:: 06:48

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Okay. So

36

:: 06:51

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: I felt like I lost my venue and my legacy, and who I was. I was the Lavender Lady.

37

:: 06:57

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and there were a lot of disappointments and a sense of failure. And what happened? And I soon realized that I heard my voice in my head. I had been saying, I need a break.

38

:: 07:09

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: probably for about 6 months prior to the accident. It was my mantra.

39

:: 07:13

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and I heard my voice in my head saying, I need a break. I need a break. I need a break.

40

:: 07:17

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, you just don't wanna tell your brain things like that.

41

:: 07:22

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And I.

42

:: 07:22

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It will, it will deliver.

43

:: 07:25

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And I think.

44

:: 07:26

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: As well.

45

:: 07:27

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: That

46

:: 07:27

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: that was the lesson is, watch what you're saying, right, because you will manifest it, and it may not be what you want, but you will get what you need. And I did need to take that shift because my mom, I discovered she had Alzheimer's, and so I took her off all the meds they put her on, got her on cannabis, and changed her situation, moved her in with me. When we moved out of the farm into an apartment close to her, and I was able to care for her for 7 years, and we were able to move up to. I was able to get

47

:: 07:55

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: work in network marketing which I love. I'm comfortable in direct sales, and we were able to move up to band Oregon and grow for patients again with my whole family, my son, my daughter, my mom, my husband. And it was this beautiful healing time for my mom and for me. I'm grateful for it.

48

:: 08:11

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and I just kept healing. But I wasn't releasing the 100 pounds I had put on. It just was I would try everything from gluten free sugar, free, wheat free, and there was just so much other resistance from the

49

:: 08:27

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: the self criticism

50

:: 08:31

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and the shame, and all the other things I had to work for. So when I say address deficiencies, I also mean mental and emotional deficiencies as well as physical. They go together as well as financial, and they all go together for that holistic wellness. And why I love what I do because it is really a whole package. But

51

:: 08:51

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: so I had a partner. I was working with, we decided my husband and I, after a lot of things that happened that would be another call. We ended up being Rv. Full time, Rvers, for 3 and a half years, and we had so much fun waking up and enjoying our days and healing, and I swear really built my business, my, my team, my group of people, my customers, my peeps and I loved it.

52

:: 09:14

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And when I started I started having some skin issues that really were

53

:: 09:20

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: like I'd never had anything like that. And so it was a rash, and then it turned into Mrsa, and then I had to go on many rounds of antibiotics, and then finally, when I was healed, supposedly, the doctor said, you've got to get on a good probiotic lose at least 50 pounds and boost your immune system immediately, or you're going to be on a lifetime of medications. And then she turned and left the room.

54

:: 09:42

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: So they don't give you solutions, but unless you want to take drugs and she already knew I was not interested in that.

55

:: 09:48

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: so that really woke me up. And it just at that same time the right person and I that I'd been working with said that he had been brought on to the company I'm with Isagenix to open Korea. And did I know it? And I said, Heck, yeah, I was in their in their 1st company. I know the owners well.

56

:: 10:06

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And I'd love to try it. And within 3 days I knew it just shifted, and I was able to release that weight and benefit from that Korea and all of that wonderful stuff, and have a whole new life that I could build.

57

:: 10:18

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And I've since in these 7 years later been released a hundred pounds and helped countless other people.

58

:: 10:25

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: you know, achieve their goals, whether it's up their weight or down their weight. It's really about a rebalancing and a resetting. And the way we do that is addressing the deficiencies which always are first, st the mental and emotional. Because I watched my dad, I cared for him and my mom die of very bad diseases, and they got very skinny, and I had had some subconscious blocks to release weight, because I felt that

59

:: 10:49

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: that meant death.

60

:: 10:51

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And so I had to work through that just to get really going right, because we can lose a little bit here and there. But when you need to release a hundred. It's it's a serious deal and so I really.

61

:: 11:01

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And most of it is mental starts there for sure.

62

:: 11:05

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: really realize that it starts in your head first, st and you got to figure out what it is that your brain is doing to you

63

:: 11:13

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: to keep you from.

64

:: 11:16

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's holding you back.

65

:: 11:17

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It does hold you back.

66

:: 11:18

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And it wants to protect you, though. So for me, it's been trying to protect me as well. And so it's really working through that. But here's the deal. When you're that toxic.

67

:: 11:30

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: The toxins are stored in your fat, and when you have visceral fat around your gut, it's like a constant Iv drip into your organs and your body, and it does not enable your cells to be happy cells to do what they need to do. So you have to address

68

:: 11:45

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: the toxins and the protein deficiency, which is, most people are protein deficient. So I've learned through this system that we have, and with this beautiful doctor, our human research scientist, with many, many clinically validated peer, reviewed published documents on humans

69

:: 12:03

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: that show that when we paste that protein throughout the day quality protein. And so we're giving our body that nutrition that we need because we don't really make it. We need all the amino acids. We need the things to give us what we need then.

70

:: 12:19

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And we're hydrating.

71

:: 12:20

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And I like the idea of biohacking. So I'm doing all the you know the Nad, and we need collagen. I'm always adding in all the stuff

72

:: 12:28

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: when we do that. And then also we detox. And I. Really, I know a lot of people are intermittent fasting, but there's a real difference when you support it with this botanical drink that we have cleanse for life. That has been around since 23 years since day one and has a lot of studies. I've seen the videos of how blood just looks better and works better after consuming it. I've been doing cleanse days

73

:: 12:52

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: now for 7 years, and it's just life changing because it helps your body release the toxins.

74

:: 12:58

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: So then your cells can be happier. So you know, with 96 billion cells, I believe it is. And one trillion cells recreated every 60 seconds, we are constantly recreating our bodies. So if we're upping our mindset and we're feeding our body and nourishing it well, things that happen. The side effects are no rashes on your skin, healthy, beautiful, glowing skin, healthy hair, healthy nails, healthy vision.

75

:: 13:25

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: healthy gut, boy, I have no gut issues when you address and heal that gut and reset. So I just love people to understand that you're not the problem.

76

:: 13:34

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: You know you, you're not the problem, but you can be the solution by giving yourself what it needs. And that starts by loving yourself enough to pay attention to what you're putting in your mind. Are you saying things like, I'm so stupid throughout the day, or I am so overwhelmed throughout the day. Those kind of messages are going to just keep increasing that or you're living my dream. I wish I could live my dream. Well, you'll just stay in wish land right? So I always tell people if you spot it. You got it

77

:: 14:04

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: so when people would say, oh, you're living my dream, and I'm going. You can spot my dream. That means you've got one, and you've got it. You've got it. You can do it, too. We're all here to do it, too, and I know in my work that I'm here to inspire others to heal and remember who they are, so they can be their best version, and to clean it up and to do it with

78

:: 14:27

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: things that are going to get results, because there is a lot out there, and I love to talk to people to kind of help them clear away. Why, I love what I do. Why, I've chosen it. I'm very picky

79

:: 14:40

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And that's another thing that growing up in La, I know I sent sending so much love to my friends and family in La right now but the City of Angels.

80

:: 14:49

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: There's a lot people are saying. Oh, you know, it's they're cleaning up the bad. But you know there's a lot of beautiful there, and they were always very ahead in La of everything, leading the way. And we can. We can hold that thought for them, and that they're going to show us the way to Unity and to caring for each other and to getting back on track. So I'm holding great thought for that as well, in la! Right now, too.

81

:: 15:19

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, I that's kind of a big deal over there. But

82

:: 15:26

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I I'm inspired by your your thoughts about people

83

:: 15:33

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: using using natural resources to regulate their bodies

84

:: 15:42

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: instead of trying to use. Like, yeah, there's there's a

85

:: 15:47

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: there's a weight loss product on the market right now that I am, I'm not going to say.

86

:: 15:54

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: but you've probably heard of it, which involves injecting yourself once a week.

87

:: 16:02

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: which totally messes up your your body.

88

:: 16:07

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and you don't really ever recover from it.

89

:: 16:11

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and when you complain to your doctor that it's making you feel worse.

90

:: 16:16

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: are really disrupting your ability to absorb any nutrients at all they double the dose.

91

:: 16:25

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Yes, when and when also they lose the muscles, they lose their muscles and their bone density.

92

:: 16:30

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And your ability to digest food at all, and not to mention pancreatic problems

93

:: 16:38

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: that are a known side effect of this. And you get pancreatic cancer. And you're not coming back, baby. That's that's it. So we need to take care of our organs and work with them, not against them.

94

:: 16:53

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: I actually have a pack for that, too, to help support with the protein. And it's our muscle essentials. But, you know, people would say to me, oh, you know you're taking those supplements. How long do I have to do that? I don't want to be addicted, or have to be beholden to taking collagen every day, and I said, but your body needs collagen every day. I would rather take a shot

95

:: 17:14

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: of my beautiful collagen elixir than a shot in my arm or leg, or wherever it is, so I don't want to be judgmental for them, because sometimes people have tried everything, and I know what that feels like, and I'm grateful. I found my system before I was. I'm just not a medical person, so that would never have been an issue for me.

96

:: 17:32

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: but it's something that they end up having to do for a long time, and I would rather choose something natural. And I've always, I mean plants are here to help us

97

:: 17:42

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: guide us.

98

:: 17:44

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They're so effective.

99

:: 17:46

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And adaptogens. My adaptogen elixir is really my favorite elixir, and because lavender is an adaptogen, and it helps us adapt to stress. And so these are plants that have grown in very stressful situations around the world for centuries and centuries that have adapted to these climates. And so I would explain to people when they would come and learn about how we extracted the oil, and why? Why would we do that?

100

:: 18:12

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Well? The oil is in the hair and fiber of the plant, and it's there to protect the plant from viruses, fungus, bacteria bugs. It's the plant's immunity.

101

:: 18:23

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: So when we are extracting that immunity, and we're ingesting it or putting it on our skin or our hair, or wherever in the air. We're giving the same energy, the disinfecting energy, the antiviral, antibacterial, antiseptic, inspiring energy from the plant.

102

:: 18:41

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And there are so many beautiful energies for all these plants. In fact, I would always tell the story at the lavender farm of my great grandfather, who was a famous artist, and he painted with Matisse and Chagalle and Picasso. And there's stories of how they painted with lavender

103

:: 18:54

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: because one. It helped with the glide, and also it was inspiring. And he was one of the 1st artists. He's kind of the father of the plane air movement, my great grandfather, William Posey Silva, and they painted outside

104

:: 19:08

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: in the plants, in the flowers in the gardens, because that's what inspired them to be creative.

105

:: 19:17

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I have a story about lavender oil

106

:: 19:19

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and a friend of mine. Lavender is my favorite, my favorite plant and essential oil. Just just so you know.

107

:: 19:27

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you know the movie? My big, fat Greek wedding and the father with the windex? Yeah, I'm like that with lavender oil. Do you got something wrong with you. We're putting lavender oil on it. You'll be better soon. So this friend of mine, who has a she actually has an essential oils business. It's global and it's big. But she years ago, was maybe 20 years ago. Now her husband. He's a farmer.

108

:: 19:57

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I live in the country. I totally get all of the farmer stuff we raised our own animals.

109

:: 20:03

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: There's there's nothing like raising your own food to really give you an appreciation for

110

:: 20:10

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: food in general, but he was working on a tractor and welding the the gas tank that he thought was empty, and it blew up on him.

111

:: 20:21

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: burned his entire face and chest. So

112

:: 20:27

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: because they're farmers and because we live in the country, the medical

113

:: 20:32

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: route was out of the question. They just didn't have the money. It wasn't happening, so she nursed him back to health with lavender oil.

114

:: 20:42

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Like to put lavender oil because it also has some when you put lavender oil on a wound. It it has some anesthetic properties to it.

115

:: 20:53

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And it was actually in the medic bags for the medics, the doctors in World War One. It is antiseptic.

116

:: 21:01

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, and it and it numbs it numbs the pain also. So she put that on him. And to this day you cannot tell

117

:: 21:10

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: that he has ever been burned. I mean it blew up, it burned his entire face.

118

:: 21:15

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Had he gone through the medical system, you would have known that his face was burned, but you cannot tell.

119

:: 21:22

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: His face was burnt.

120

:: 21:24

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That's how powerful lavender oil is.

121

:: 21:29

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So.

122

:: 21:30

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: You know.

123

:: 21:31

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: I heard lots, so many stories of people would come to the farm and share their stories, or how they grew up with their grandmother, or how they learned this. What I loved to tell people sometimes it was mind blowing is that it's a cousin. Lavender is a cousin to Rosemary in the Mint family. It's delicious to eat with anything that those are really good with. So it's sweet. It's good, sweet, or savory.

124

:: 21:50

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So.

125

:: 21:52

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: So good, and so it's great to see. When I 1st started with the farm you didn't see a lot, and then all of a sudden they started coming out with the lavender. Everything.

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and it's just so great to see that people are more open and receptive, and I've kept my hand in it. I have a lot of farmers in California and Oregon I work with, so I've been doing private labeling, so like I'll have a massage therapist or a customer of mine that has a business, and they want to use an oil. Put their label on it, and I've been doing that, too, to keep my hand in it, because I love it so much

127

:: 22:23

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: just anything to inspire people to do what they need to do before they leave here because we came in to do something, and and if you don't feel good, it sucks.

128

:: 22:34

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, and there are so many plants out there that can help you. Comfrey is another one for healing bones and arnica. And I just like

129

:: 22:44

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: a little

130

:: 22:45

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: little research, and you can find what you need to help get you beyond the thing that you're experiencing, because there's

131

:: 22:55

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: we live in an amazing world. And the truth is, pharmaceuticals almost always go back

132

:: 23:02

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: to something in nature. They're trying to mimic something in nature. So I mean, why don't you just go.

133

:: 23:11

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Absolutely. I mean, aspirin came from willow bark.

134

:: 23:15

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and people have been using willow bark for a long time, and then, of course, we know that back in the day when women would try to heal people with natural remedies, they could be burned at the stake. So there's been a lot of issue around this that we're having to break free from. But I have to say I don't take pharmaceuticals.

135

:: 23:36

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: but when I broke my leg when I broke my leg, you know, and I'm allergic to morphine. I was really grateful that there were options, and for about 2 weeks I did have to take whatever it is they gave me because I thought I was dying.

136

:: 23:48

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and then I managed to titrate down, and I really utilized cannabis, and then Tylenol and advil, and then I was able to get rid of that, and then it was just cannabis. So. But some people get on that oxy whatever, and it's now like part of their life forever.

137

:: 24:05

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, that's so sad.

138

:: 24:07

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And and it doesn't even have to be like a pain medication. It can be

139

:: 24:13

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: other things that you take to change your body. When your body chemistry.

140

:: 24:21

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: we're self-regulating beings. Your body is doing what it needs to do in order to keep you alive. When you artificially lower something or raise something or change something. It's

141

:: 24:34

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: affecting something else. Something else has to give

142

:: 24:38

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: in order for that to work even with pain, medication, and though I, too, you know I've broken bones, and I've been very grateful for the medical community, they do great triage work. But don't don't think that if you go to your doctor and say, Hey, I'm gonna I need. You know this is my experience I'm having right now, or let them tell you that something that's going on with your body can be fixed

143

:: 25:07

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: without you having to do anything, make any changes. You didn't get to that state by living a very natural holistic life. Something that you were doing caused you to be in dysregulation. So.

144

:: 25:22

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: allowing them to give you something to fix that without taking responsibility for

145

:: 25:30

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: what got you? There is a recipe for disaster.

146

:: 25:34

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Yeah, that's what they do with statins. They just throw statins at people.

147

:: 25:38

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And blood pressure, medicine and all kinds of other things.

148

:: 25:40

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And I have alternatives for that that are natural and plant-based that I'm so grateful for. So I know I have a resource, and that's what I like. Helping people have their own resource, because we are our own healers, if we can, you know. And but if we are toxic, I have to say can cloud

149

:: 25:58

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: the view, and you might need some support. So that's where I like to come in.

150

:: 26:03

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah. And I love that. So do you help people like in a in a coaching capacity, like in groups, or just one on one or you. Just

151

:: 26:13

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: how does all of that look? Let's I know you do retreats. So let's talk about that, too.

152

:: 26:18

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Yeah, I'm just coming off a wonderful retreat here in Maui, and we hope to take it to other places. And it's just really about helping people remember who they are and celebrate that. It was just awesome. And I have information on my website. People can if they're interested in that.

153

:: 26:34

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: But I work with people that just come to me, and they want to feel better like, you know, and I coach them one on one. I don't have an offer or a high ticket offer, or anything like that, because I like, I'm a very product driven person. I like to make product recommendations, and I want them to buy those.

154

:: 26:50

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: So they put their money into themselves, invest in themselves, and start to feel better. They'll want to work with me, and my goal is to have a lifelong customer because I get paid recurring income on my network of customers. So I'm looking always to help more people. And I do coach.

155

:: 27:06

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: especially people that want it, or people that also want to do earn income with it. I love coaching those people, but it's a 1-on-one more customized experience. I've done a lot of webinars, and I have a workshop. And now and then I'll put one out. And so my Facebook group and my Youtube channel, and all those kind of things will have all that information. And I feel like the people who need to need me or want to talk to me, or would benefit from what I have to share.

156

:: 27:31

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: will find me. I do a lot of that kind of you know, waking up, and who can I help today, and who resonates with what I have to say, and and wants a little guidance, and I'm kind of straightforward, and sometimes can come off as I'm holding them. Accountable is a little tough, but I went to a lot through a lot. I know every excuse in the book.

157

:: 27:54

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: I've been there done that to myself, and I have a like low tolerance to contribute to that for other people.

158

:: 28:03

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah. And sometimes we all just need a firm boot in the butt.

159

:: 28:09

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So I know you also are the host of the art of joyfully living podcast you wanna talk about that for a second.

160

:: 28:15

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Yeah, it's the. It's the same as my thing, the art of living. Joyfully it goes that way.

161

:: 28:19

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Into it later.

162

:: 28:19

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: I get it backwards all the time, too, but I have found that.

163

:: 28:24

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: So I grew up in Beverly Hills. I told you that, and I worked out with Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda. When.

164

:: 28:29

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Richard Simmons was.

165

:: 28:30

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Starting, and I know what it's like to be on the grapefruit diet to starve myself and lose 10 pounds in a week for that hot dress and date. It was so different when you're older.

166

:: 28:40

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I remember the grapefruit diet.

167

:: 28:45

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: And the hard boiled egg diet. And the thing is, it was all about restriction and deprivation, and.

168

:: 28:51

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Bio.

169

:: 28:51

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Bad, and so not good for me. So, and also I've worked out hard and working out hard for me isn't work anymore. Neither does deep tissue massage because anything that throws my body into stress. I'm autoimmune. I became autoimmune after the accident from the stress.

170

:: 29:08

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Primarily, the financial stress and the physical stress.

171

:: 29:12

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: of losing everything and having to start over but I was saying that,

172

:: 29:20

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: something. What was I saying?

173

:: 29:23

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: You're talking about your podcast and

174

:: 29:25

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: so I find that when I can, when I can share in my podcast

175

:: 29:30

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: I feel better, like, I have a venue again and it helps me release and help others, and I hope to inspire people there. I interview people there. I have a lot of people that have been my customers or my clients, or I've worked with that have helped me that we interview, and we get into how they cope and deal with stress. And you know all that. So I do love interviewing people. I love being interviewed. But what I found this weekend at the Retreat is, I want to do more in person.

176

:: 29:56

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: So I'm really looking for people that are interested and I travel. I'm a traveler that would like me to come in and speak and share. I used to do a lot of it at my farm for large groups. I really feel like it lights me up. I have some great stories. I can make people laugh and talk for a long time.

177

:: 30:15

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: So that's something I'd like to do is is inspire more people in in community, in lot, in person.

178

:: 30:24

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I I'm sure that you're gonna be very successful with that

179

:: 30:29

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and I have some ideas for you that I'll talk to you about after we're done here. Just it. Just something just hit me. You also have biohack, your life guide and

180

:: 30:41

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: free the art of living joyfully, workshop.

181

:: 30:45

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: Yes, this is something I can. It's a little thing that people can opt in and and receive, and just talks about my story, and why I wanted to round up asked about joy. What I realized was I needed to have more fun lighten up and relax

182

:: 31:00

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: and in not work so hard. Never do I deprive myself. I'm very mindful about what I put in my mind and my mouth. It's intentional and so

183

:: 31:12

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: in helping others. It keeps me in that space right? And I found by being of service I'm really healing myself, which is backwards. But I think anybody who's of service understands that.

184

:: 31:24

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: But this is something that they can get, and like. I said, I do some workshops now and then, and I will post them and talk about them. Right now I'm in the middle of a 90 day reset. I like to work with people 90 days the most, because we get the best results. But 30 days is good too

185

:: 31:39

Janice Silva, The Art Of Living Joyfully: often they'll do 30 s. And want to continue. And again, that's just working with me to help support them on my system.

186
