Welcome to destined for success. I'm your
Jennifer Takagi:host Jennifer Takagi and it's PATA Palooza Day. I'd love
Jennifer Takagi:Potter Palooza Day because I get to meet, interact and visit with
Jennifer Takagi:people, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet
Jennifer Takagi:before. Our next guest is Kathy Baldwin. I'm so excited to hear
Jennifer Takagi:what she has to say. Kathy, welcome to the show. Jennifer,
Kathy Baldwin:I'm so excited to be here with you.
Jennifer Takagi:I that just thrills me to death. So how do
Jennifer Takagi:you show up in the world and tell us a little bit about
Jennifer Takagi:yourself, what you do and how you can help me be more
Jennifer Takagi:successful?
Kathy Baldwin:Absolutely. I am the founder and coach at Riseup
Kathy Baldwin:coaching, I have a program called drive your destiny, which
Kathy Baldwin:is based on the fact that we have been taught how to drive a
Kathy Baldwin:car, but we have not been taught how to access our own bodies
Kathy Baldwin:communication, let alone all of the universal laws, not just the
Kathy Baldwin:law of attraction. And I did write a book called unlearning
Kathy Baldwin:the crap about personal success and empowerment. And I love that
Kathy Baldwin:I
Jennifer Takagi:think I saw that on your bio. And I was
Jennifer Takagi:like, unlearn the crap. I love that a lot. And you know, they
Jennifer Takagi:say we had to learn to drive a car, but I just want to say some
Jennifer Takagi:people didn't do so well.
Kathy Baldwin:They're doing better than they are with their
Kathy Baldwin:bodies. I can tell you that.
Jennifer Takagi:Yeah, I like to say when people don't turn their
Jennifer Takagi:turn signal on, I know, it's called a turn signal. But I'll
Jennifer Takagi:go Oh, my God, they're out of blinker fluid. And somebody
Jennifer Takagi:knows, you know, it's a light bulb. And I went, well,
Jennifer Takagi:obviously they don't, or they would have had it changed,
Jennifer Takagi:because I might as well tell them they're out a blinker fluid
Jennifer Takagi:because they're too stupid to blinker. Yes. So that's my thing
Jennifer Takagi:on on driving. So I do want to learn more about the universal
Jennifer Takagi:laws I have. I'm addicted to learning and getting more
Jennifer Takagi:certifications. I just got a new one today's very excitable. And
Jennifer Takagi:a friend sent me a deal and said, Jennifer, I hate that you
Jennifer Takagi:sign up for everything. But oh my gosh, this is like seven
Jennifer Takagi:levels of law of attraction. Are you in? And I was like, where's
Jennifer Takagi:the link? Yes, I'm in. So I'm really excited to hear about
Jennifer Takagi:this. I'll be serious. Tell me more.
Kathy Baldwin:Well, you know, I'm one of those people that
Kathy Baldwin:loves to learn as well. I've been like 40 years, I've studied
Kathy Baldwin:under over 100 Different teachers, everything from
Kathy Baldwin:psychology, neurology. You name it, quantum physics. I mean,
Kathy Baldwin:I've studied it all. And what I realized is, especially after
Kathy Baldwin:the secret is people talked about the law of attraction, but
Kathy Baldwin:they didn't talk about the other 11 laws, and you cannot not just
Kathy Baldwin:pay attention to the one and think it's all going to work. It
Kathy Baldwin:is a complete package. And so actually, I think the law of
Kathy Baldwin:attraction is more of a result. It's not a cause. And so my
Kathy Baldwin:favorite laws of attraction are my favorite universal laws are
Kathy Baldwin:the ones that I can actually have real effect on. So law of
Kathy Baldwin:relativity, law of polarity law of gestation, you know, law of
Kathy Baldwin:compensation, these are, these are laws that really change how
Kathy Baldwin:you show up and be successful in the world.
Jennifer Takagi:All right, so what's the first one I need to
Jennifer Takagi:do and implement? And how do I do it? And can I do it before my
Jennifer Takagi:next interview? Absolutely. You don't know this about me, but I
Jennifer Takagi:deemed myself that 12 minute success coach, because I can
Jennifer Takagi:help you break your goals into small increments so that you can
Jennifer Takagi:do them in 12 minutes or less and get momentum. Also, I do
Jennifer Takagi:energy healing. And it's very fast. So it's like 12 minutes or
Jennifer Takagi:less. So yeah, go for it. What's the first thing I really need to
Jennifer Takagi:incorporate? Because I'm ready. I have a my pen and paper at
Jennifer Takagi:hand. Okay,
Kathy Baldwin:well, the first one is love relativity. Einstein
Kathy Baldwin:talked about it as far as the time space continuum, the way I
Kathy Baldwin:talk about it is, everything is true when it's relative to
Kathy Baldwin:something else. So if you've ever heard of married couples at
Kathy Baldwin:an event, and they will describe it totally different. Nobody's
Kathy Baldwin:wrong. Everybody is right. It is all perspective. So when we have
Kathy Baldwin:beliefs and stories that are disempowering to us, we have the
Kathy Baldwin:ability to look at it from 360 degrees and find a story that
Kathy Baldwin:works for us because they're all true. So why are we carrying
Kathy Baldwin:around disempowering beliefs and thoughts when We can pick which
Kathy Baldwin:one we want. And now it's just a question of, is it empowering or
Kathy Baldwin:disempowering? And, and so that's one of them. Same with
Kathy Baldwin:expectations. We, so many times people quit, you know that
Kathy Baldwin:saying Three Feet From Gold that Napoleon Hill came up with?
Kathy Baldwin:Yeah, well, so many people think it's supposed to be like this,
Kathy Baldwin:or it should have happened by now. And they don't understand
Kathy Baldwin:that the law of compensation says that it doesn't matter how
Kathy Baldwin:much we put in, we will get back equally or more what we've put
Kathy Baldwin:in to the value of in our world. So you can think that it was
Kathy Baldwin:supposed to have happened by now. But that's like saying a
Kathy Baldwin:baby should only take six months.
Jennifer Takagi:Okay, so let's be real, how much time did you
Jennifer Takagi:spend watching the Netflix when you could have been working on
Jennifer Takagi:your business? I mean, impacts it somewhere.
Kathy Baldwin:It happens. Absolutely, absolutely. We make
Kathy Baldwin:choices. And we go in and out of alignment. And when we
Kathy Baldwin:understand that, we can take our own perspective and figure out
Kathy Baldwin:what's working for us, like you've got the goal set and
Kathy Baldwin:minor, all about how you understand the mechanics of your
Kathy Baldwin:body when it says you're out of alignment, or you know, you're
Kathy Baldwin:going in the wrong way. He just got to listen. But we've never
Kathy Baldwin:been taught.
Jennifer Takagi:You did when you when you mentioned gold,
Jennifer Takagi:like all I can think about is a Olympics and like gold medals.
Jennifer Takagi:And it's very interesting that somebody will think that they
Jennifer Takagi:lost because they didn't get gold. But like how many of us
Jennifer Takagi:even make it to the Olympic trials, much less a team does
Jennifer Takagi:even the trials. They're so hyper focused, they're hyper
Jennifer Takagi:focused on what they're doing every bite they take, they did
Jennifer Takagi:not have potato chips at the break. Like they've not had a
Jennifer Takagi:potato chip in 20 years, probably. But right like, so
Jennifer Takagi:what do we do? What are our choices, and Kimberly Crowe, who
Jennifer Takagi:was one of the the CO creators of PATA Palooza that brought us
Jennifer Takagi:together so fun. She has a book out called shift your narrative.
Jennifer Takagi:And it's like, yes, that is true. But what else is true
Jennifer Takagi:also. And one of her examples is I'm the oldest child, I'm
Jennifer Takagi:personally not because this is an example. I'm the eldest
Jennifer Takagi:child, I was responsible for all my siblings, I had to do
Jennifer Takagi:everything. My mom just dumped it all on me. Okay, that can be
Jennifer Takagi:true. But what also is true. What also is true is you learned
Jennifer Takagi:organizational skills, you learn management, you learn how to
Jennifer Takagi:delegate, you learn how to round people up, and it served you
Jennifer Takagi:really well in your career
Kathy Baldwin:that you want to focus on. Yeah, that's a
Kathy Baldwin:universal law of relativity. I was a child of a teenager
Kathy Baldwin:teenage pregnancy in the 60s, I carry this crap in my head that
Kathy Baldwin:said, because I wasn't planned. I wasn't wanted. And it wasn't
Kathy Baldwin:until I use this on myself and went well, I was just surprised.
Kathy Baldwin:Nobody knew what was coming. But I did. And you know, what, it
Kathy Baldwin:sure makes you happier to be a surprise party than it does to
Kathy Baldwin:feel like you're a
Jennifer Takagi:burden. Well, I'm, I'm the youngest of four.
Jennifer Takagi:And my my brother was the oldest. And then there are three
Jennifer Takagi:of us girls, and my oldest sister, the second child, oldest
Jennifer Takagi:girl has said my whole life, she's eight years older than me.
Jennifer Takagi:And she's always said, you were born 100. Well, now that I've
Jennifer Takagi:done like, a lot of spiritual work, and a lot of, you know,
Jennifer Takagi:what does all this mean? And how am I going to show up in the
Jennifer Takagi:world. And for myself, it was I was born 100 Because I have been
Jennifer Takagi:in charge of the family pretty much my whole life. Like even
Jennifer Takagi:though I was the youngest, and my parents were there and I
Jennifer Takagi:adored them. And when they died, it was catastrophic. It was just
Jennifer Takagi:heart wrenching. But if they were in the hospital, I was the
Jennifer Takagi:one signing the papers, if they if they had to be if something
Jennifer Takagi:had to be done, I had to tell him like I really was in charge.
Jennifer Takagi:And I'm pretty comfortable with that role. Like don't take it
Jennifer Takagi:away from me. I'm not I'm not gonna pitch about it. Like it's
Jennifer Takagi:mine. I own it. And that's fine. But it's, I kind of looked at it
Jennifer Takagi:as the biggest burden ever. It is my it is some of my nieces
Jennifer Takagi:because they're like, I'm the favorite. I'm the favorite. I'm
Jennifer Takagi:like girls, there's a lot of responsibility because of being
Jennifer Takagi:the favorite.
Kathy Baldwin:But it is all perspective and how we interpret
Kathy Baldwin:the story. So why are we carrying around crap that's
Kathy Baldwin:taken us down a path that we don't want to go
Jennifer Takagi:Well, the question is, like, I love Dr.
Jennifer Takagi:Phil, I think he's so funny on how he says things sometimes
Jennifer Takagi:that it's like, how's that working for you?
Kathy Baldwin:It's not work. Yeah. And so many people look at
Kathy Baldwin:it as but I have no choice. I don't have any. This is the way
Kathy Baldwin:I have borne this is you don't understand where I came from,
Kathy Baldwin:and that the whole thing is out, especially right now. This is my
Kathy Baldwin:soapbox, okay. We are in the middle of a huge transition, AI
Kathy Baldwin:automation, our systems are failing, the world is changing.
Kathy Baldwin:I believe right now is so important that we all step into
Kathy Baldwin:our Personal Genius, because we're not going to be needing
Kathy Baldwin:the repetitive tasks. We're not going to be needing manual
Kathy Baldwin:labor, we're going to need what makes us human innovation,
Kathy Baldwin:creation, and being able to step into what your personal gifts
Kathy Baldwin:are and bring that to the world. I now think that's a
Kathy Baldwin:responsibility, not just a, wouldn't that be nice.
Jennifer Takagi:I just, I just saw a cute video on Facebook.
Jennifer Takagi:And it was all about, we have to be stoic today, like in the
Jennifer Takagi:olden days, because the snarky brags on the internet are just
Jennifer Takagi:ruining it for the rest of us. So we had to just like pull
Jennifer Takagi:ourselves up. Oh, is it written for Sharjah vet the first of
Jennifer Takagi:March. I've got to change your calendar, the first of March.
Jennifer Takagi:And he was like, Man, there are a lot of snarky brats on the
Jennifer Takagi:internet. And I was like, there are a lot of snarky brats on the
Jennifer Takagi:internet. I just scrolled past that. I freaked somebody out
Jennifer Takagi:today when I said I didn't watch the news. And like literally
Jennifer Takagi:show Muscat whiplash. What? And I was like, Oh, I don't need to
Jennifer Takagi:watch the news and somebody else. Well, that's true. She
Jennifer Takagi:does not. And I said, Why do I need to watch the news? You're
Jennifer Takagi:gonna tell me what's happening? Like, I don't like it. I was
Jennifer Takagi:like,
Kathy Baldwin:I have not missed any important things that have
Kathy Baldwin:gone on in the world. Somehow. It's all come
Jennifer Takagi:out, nobody tells me.
Kathy Baldwin:Absolutely.
Jennifer Takagi:Okay, so relatively you so I'm gonna, I'm
Jennifer Takagi:gonna say this very poorly. And then I want you to fix it and
Jennifer Takagi:say it right? So let's pretend I'm not happy in my life. It's
Jennifer Takagi:not true at all. But let's pretend I'm not happy. And I'm,
Jennifer Takagi:I'm in a victim mindset. But I heard this podcast destined for
Jennifer Takagi:success. And I thought, well, maybe I am destined for more.
Jennifer Takagi:But I really am a victim. And it really happened and my life
Jennifer Takagi:really does suck. Now what?
Kathy Baldwin:Yeah, you're right. That's exactly the way it
Kathy Baldwin:is. Do you want us to keep it that way? Because there are so
Kathy Baldwin:many other choices, and for you to die, with the regret of
Kathy Baldwin:carrying that story around when I can help you figure out how to
Kathy Baldwin:do it the other way? Where it becomes empowering. Yes, we've
Kathy Baldwin:been let we've been told a lot of disempowering stuff. That's
Kathy Baldwin:why my book is unlearned the crap it's all about the stuff
Kathy Baldwin:that we've been told, we've been purposely disempowered it is so
Kathy Baldwin:that we stay in conformity so that we stay as consumers and
Kathy Baldwin:workers, you have been programmed. Do you want to
Kathy Baldwin:unprogrammed?
Jennifer Takagi:I love the way you said that and put that
Jennifer Takagi:together. And we have a choice. Is that story serving me? If I
Jennifer Takagi:am the victim, what do I win? What do I get out of that. And
Jennifer Takagi:then if I want to get a whole bunch more, I can, as one of my
Jennifer Takagi:mentors says, I can step out of that story. That's another one
Jennifer Takagi:that I've heard that is helpful to me. Sometimes stepping out of
Jennifer Takagi:the story is too big. For me, having a different perspective
Jennifer Takagi:is like a little too big, a little too much a little too
Jennifer Takagi:scary. And you throw the word willing in there. And now it's a
Jennifer Takagi:whole new reasonable game. I'm willing to look at other
Jennifer Takagi:possibilities. I'm willing to consider that I learned lessons
Jennifer Takagi:from that horror, whatever it was. And now it's making me a
Jennifer Takagi:better person. Like now I can step into something else.
Jennifer Takagi:Absolutely.
Kathy Baldwin:And when people understand how the brain is
Kathy Baldwin:wired, how it creates these programs and these stories and
Kathy Baldwin:attaches it to strong emotion, so that it is the most
Kathy Baldwin:efficiency expert out there, because it wants everything The
Kathy Baldwin:autopilot, and autopilot is only for survival. Are you still
Kathy Baldwin:breathing? That's all your brain wants to know, are you still
Kathy Baldwin:alive. And if we you can now understand that that's the way
Kathy Baldwin:your brain is wired. And fear only means you're in the
Kathy Baldwin:driver's seat, not the passenger seat. Well, if you want to
Kathy Baldwin:drive, then you kind of want to be in the driver's seat. You
Kathy Baldwin:don't want to be on automatic pilot, right? And so fear we've
Kathy Baldwin:been taught means danger. Well, fear just means look out, pay
Kathy Baldwin:attention. You're not on autopilot anymore. Just pay
Kathy Baldwin:attention. I'm not driving.
Jennifer Takagi:I love that so much. And I have some friends
Jennifer Takagi:who claim to have terrible memories. And I say you don't
Jennifer Takagi:have a terrible memory, you just aren't paying attention to what
Jennifer Takagi:you're doing. So there's no way to remember because you're not
Jennifer Takagi:paying attention. And so tell me, as we're, you know, Wigan fr
Jennifer Takagi:time I recently heard in the last few years, multiple times.
Jennifer Takagi:If you keep sharing your story, with all the emotion that comes
Jennifer Takagi:with it, and as speakers and trainers and coaches, we have to
Jennifer Takagi:share our stories in the bad things that happen. And I tried
Jennifer Takagi:to do that as little as possible, just enough for you to
Jennifer Takagi:want to come play with me. But I don't need to give you all the
Jennifer Takagi:gory details. But there is a belief system out there, it
Jennifer Takagi:seems to me that if you repeat the horror stories in, in all
Jennifer Takagi:the emotional impact with it, that you just create more of
Jennifer Takagi:that in your life, can you do that? Absolutely.
Kathy Baldwin:There's parts of our brain that are determined to
Kathy Baldwin:make sure that we're right, we've got an amygdala and are
Kathy Baldwin:attacking reticular activating system, we've got all these
Kathy Baldwin:things that are made for us to be right, you got to be really
Kathy Baldwin:careful what you want to be right about. So I have a lot of
Kathy Baldwin:trauma stories. I've been through more things and most
Kathy Baldwin:people would ever think of, but I make sure I tell my story from
Kathy Baldwin:the positive and say, Yes, I dealt with it. Now this is where
Kathy Baldwin:I am. Because you will just keep marinating and ruminating and
Kathy Baldwin:digging it deeper and harder.
Jennifer Takagi:And keeping it there. And, you know, like you I
Jennifer Takagi:do have those horror stories. And I now can share them without
Jennifer Takagi:me falling apart emotionally. And without overly triggering
Jennifer Takagi:the audience. Because some speakers do that too. I mean,
Jennifer Takagi:you're going to be triggered because I have some big stories,
Jennifer Takagi:but I don't have to put you there and leave you there, you
Jennifer Takagi:can just tip toe across the meadow and get a picture of it.
Jennifer Takagi:So I love that. So first, that is is the law of relativity, the
Jennifer Takagi:first universal law are they in any special order? I didn't ask
Jennifer Takagi:that.
Kathy Baldwin:Well, I put the first three as being the
Kathy Baldwin:universal law of oneness, the love energy and the law of
Kathy Baldwin:vibration, because everything is vibration, and everything is
Kathy Baldwin:energy. So it's what are we aligning with. And so if you
Kathy Baldwin:want to align with the law of attraction, you got to figure
Kathy Baldwin:out what you are emanating out because that's what you're going
Kathy Baldwin:to attract back in. So when we know because this is the one
Kathy Baldwin:that really really got to me, right, we've been told that
Kathy Baldwin:we're small, and we're insignificant, and we don't
Kathy Baldwin:matter. But we're a part of everything that ever was and
Kathy Baldwin:ever is you cannot create energy, you cannot destroy it.
Kathy Baldwin:You can only transfer it or transmute it. So if you are made
Kathy Baldwin:of that, how can you be so special that you're you're
Kathy Baldwin:different than everything else?
Jennifer Takagi:It's crazy. All right, I don't think I got this.
Jennifer Takagi:Number one is oneness. Number two is
Kathy Baldwin:oneness energy about blah by Bration.
Jennifer Takagi:Okay, oneness energy, vibration. And then we
Jennifer Takagi:spent most of our time on relativity, because that's
Jennifer Takagi:something we can consciously decide. Yes, I mean, all of
Jennifer Takagi:them. We can to varying degrees, whatever, but relativity, you'd
Jennifer Takagi:like that, really? That can really change how you show up in
Jennifer Takagi:the world. Oh, my gosh, has been so good. So I do believe you
Jennifer Takagi:have a free gift for our audience. What is that
Kathy Baldwin:I can do for anyone who's trying to figure
Kathy Baldwin:out how many universal laws are they aligned with or misaligned
Kathy Baldwin:with? I do have an assessment that they can go on and get a
Kathy Baldwin:really clear idea. And then afterward, I offer a clarity
Kathy Baldwin:call where I can help you identify the universal laws that
Kathy Baldwin:you're out of alignment with And like you, I'm an energy healer.
Kathy Baldwin:We don't need to dig up bones, we do not need to be re
Kathy Baldwin:traumatized. We can cut the cord.
Jennifer Takagi:Let's do that. Okay, so do you have an easy way
Jennifer Takagi:for us to get the assessment or do we need to just drop them in
Jennifer Takagi:the show notes? Well,
Kathy Baldwin:it's under unlearn the crap.com, which is
Kathy Baldwin:the name of my book, backslash, breaking hyphen burnout, but
Kathy Baldwin:I'll give it in the show notes as well.
Jennifer Takagi:Breaking life in burnout. I love that. I love
Jennifer Takagi:that. Gosh, I'm loved our time together today. Kathy.
Kathy Baldwin:Me too. It was worth the wait.
Jennifer Takagi:Great said you have any last words for our
Jennifer Takagi:audience as we close out this episode.
Kathy Baldwin:One I always say is the Wizard of Oz when Glenda
Kathy Baldwin:said, Dorothy, you've always had it within you. There is nothing
Kathy Baldwin:that we are lacking. We have everything we need. The only
Kathy Baldwin:thing is information and knowledge. So if you're if your
Kathy Baldwin:life isn't turning out the way you want, then get the
Kathy Baldwin:information get the knowledge because that's the only thing
Kathy Baldwin:you're missing.
Jennifer Takagi:I love that. Thank you for your time.
Kathy Baldwin:Thank you.
Jennifer Takagi:I'm Jennifer Takagi with destined for success
Jennifer Takagi:and I look forward to connecting with you soon.
