Well, hello, and welcome to the Successful

4:02 Women's Show. Oh thank you, actor Madeline. I am thrilled to be here. Well, I tell you what I always start off by giving the standard bio all my guests, but then I like to ask the question, or really just ask them to tell us what you want us to know about JJ D Geronimo. Jj D Geronimo is a woman in business that had come up against many many obstacles when striving for her goals and was certain that there was another way to get it done. And I have spent the last fifteen years really gathering strategies, best practices and insights not only for my career, but to share them with other women across the world so they too can make their goals a reality. Wow, that is always a good thing. I love it. I love it. I love it because that is my mission too, to just make sure these ladies have to U can get around some of the obstacles that you know they may have to face when trying to get where they're they're wanting to go. So tell us what should people do when they start asking questions like what is this all for? Or now what?

5:25 Or is there more? And I asked that because you're you know you your book on Seeking, I know it deals with a lot of this, So tell us about that. Yes, yes, and so Seeking is my third book, and it's something that has sort of come to me later in life in the sense that I achieved many of the goals I had strived for because of the other books and research and things I've done prior to this. But I did get to a point in my life where I was striving and driving so hard, but I really didn't feel the joy and success is that I thought I would feel. And it kind of came to a point in my own life where I had to sort of turn around my navigation system that was so outwardly pointed all the time to do some inside work. Wow, So you literally asked yourself those questions then, like what is this all for?

6:23 I mean, how did you get past that? Or how did you know exactly what you were seeking? Or were you seeking anything? I didn't know what I was seeking, but I kind of thought by this point in my life that I would have a lot more joy, that I would feel like I could take my foot off the pedal a little bit. But I felt just as anxious and driven as I did in my late twenties and early thirties, and I just realized that no matter what I conquered, what parrot I went after, what title I ran for, that I was not going to satisfy that. That just tenacious energy to get there all the time, And honestly, I couldn't even tell you where there is, but I was so busy working to get there. Wow. And that's I think that's the way a lot of us are. You know, we as you say that you know that the topic seeking, we're all probably seeking something and in a lot of cases we just don't know what that something is. So I know you also refer to something you say about working on releasing stories within tell us about that. What do you mean by that? Yeah, I'm just kind of going to the book now. So interesting because I ended up in a therapist's office and I remember sitting there thinking, this is ridiculous. I can figure

7:56 this out for myself. But the reality was I couldn't. And when I talked to her about where I was in my life, what was happening in the personal sides of my life, I was really struggling. And it wasn't the struggle that most people would think, like, oh, she's you know some people I made me say I'm going through mid life crisis, or you know, maybe I should have more wine, or I should go on more trips. But I knew it was more than that. I knew like I needed a real shift, but I didn't know how to start. And thankfully the therapist that I went to was really guided me towards mindfulness training, which at the time when she told me, I mean I think, I started crying. I was like, no, I really am lost in my own choices. Even though from the outside I looked like I've got everything going in the right direction, I feel lost. And she said, you must go to mindfulness training. They have a class. It's starting in a couple of weeks. Blah blah blah, And of course I went home and did not sign up for it. And then I went back to her again and she said, JJ, do not come back here unless you sign up for that mindfulness training. And I just was annoyed. I was like, I feel like I was going through like my own reckoning that how could this mindfulness thing help me? But fast forward, it really was the cornerstone for the work that I the inside work that I did for years to follow. And I think a lot of women struggle because the voices in their head, the stories

9:28 they're telling themselves, the things they've collected from second grade, you know, junior year of high school and even beyond often impacts our decisions and the way we feel about ourselves. And for me, mindfulness was really the key that helped me unlock that energy so that I could have more joy in that current moment. Wow, Wow mindfulness. So why do you think so many people may have a hard time with mindfulness? Do you have a lot of clients that you work with on, you know, getting through that or figuring that out. Well, I'm a one to many person and so I do a lot of keynote speaking and I do talk about this quite a bit because I often start I used to start years ago with real strategies to get a get to that next level, give that, you know, invitation to that board seat, get aligned with that next strategic position. What I realized is that if we don't stop and think about how we talk to ourselves, what we say when we're eagerly thinking about what we want to do next, if we don't really do that inside work, oftentimes the outside is not going to change.

10:46 Okay, now that kind of brings me to something interesting that I actually got in my email just probably this week, and it was about the law of attraction. Do you think that that has anything you know, is there any type of correlation between the law of attraction and you know, mindfulness? Do you think that that's related in any way? Yeah? I think if you ask most people, they would say that they were positive and they had gratitude. I think most people would say that in general. But if the reality is when you talk to women about what they want to do next, what seat they want to get in, what title they want to achieve, and you say, okay, great, what is that? What is that for you? And they'll tell you generally within minutes, they'll either tell me or you why it's not going to work, why now is not the time, why they're not ready, why they need another certification. If we're lucky, we'll hear all those things. If we're not lucky to hear them, they'll be saying many of those things to themselves. And when they're saying those things to themselves, they're talking themselves out of leaning in. And what I tell a lot of women is like that, research shows women wait and to be one hundred percent prepared before they do anything. And the reality is, if you are waiting to be one hundred percent prepared once, you're never going to go anywhere because there's no way you can be prepared for something you've never done. And two, you're not going to build your self efficacy. And self efficacy is having a vision for where you want to go and believing you

12:18 can achieve it. It's something that's learned and it's essentially bucket you carry around and every time you wait to be one hundred percent ready, you have no coins to put into your self plicacy bucket, which is the bucket that you use when you're unsure about your choices or you're not sure if you're ready. Wow, now you hit the nail on the head about women waiting until they are prepared one hundred percent. That's one of the things I say in my TED talk when I'd say, you know, men will apply for a position when they have only sixty percent of the requirements, but women, like you said, they won't apply unless they feel they have one hundred of the requirements.

13:01 And I mean, you wonder why that is, because you know, what's the difference in the mindset. You know what's the difference in the thinking that the man can say, oh, well, i have number one, number four, number five, so I'm gonna apply for this, but the woman to look at it, and she may even have more qualifications, but she still won't go for it if she can't check all the boxes. That's amazing because we're trained. We're trained from a young age. The way we trained the little girls and little boys is very different. Right. Little girls are often aligned to very domestic things to do them right. Men our boys are often aligned to outdoor things. It's just like we And those are the stories I'm talking about that you have to unwind, and you can only unwind them if you know that they're there, and the only way to know that they're there is you have to be mindful of your thoughts, which I had to be trained to do because society makes us believe that everything we need is outside of us, and they're going to tell us through the television and ads and social media what we need when, and so we have to pause that stream of information to really sit with ourselves in a way that we haven't done before or haven't done often, to say, you know what, when I say I'm going to go for this position, what am I saying to myself?

14:20 What are the first few things I say? I need to write those down, I need to look at those? Are those supportive? Where did those stem from? When did I hear those for the first time? And how do I underwind that conversation? Wow? So when you finally listen to your therapist and went through through the mindfulness training, what did that entail? I mean, what did you literally have to do? You know? How did you do? I mean, did you just sit in a room and just say block out everything and say I'm going to sit here until I get it, or what exact did you do? That's a great question, because I showed up with my notebooks, my coffee, my favorite pen, some colored markers, some sicky notes, because I was going to get stuff done while I was there. You know, it's a three hour class for eight Sundays, and I was going to get stuff done. And after the first class, my teacher asked me what all that stuff was for and if I could kindly leave it in the car, and I was like, no way, because I'm going to get stuff done. And it took me a couple of classes to be quite honest, I mean it really did, and the whole idea. She does several exercises based on John Cabotsin's training. One of them is eating a dried cherry, So you know, she talks you through how to be in the moment when you're eating, how to really conduct mindful eating because most of us watch something, read something, talk on the phone,

15:54 drive while we're eating, and so really teaching yourself how to be in the moment in such a simple task was really challenging, and she continued to build on from that each week. But I will tell you the most beautiful thing of mindfulness is that I am a viewer, a front row viewer of my thoughts, which you cannot stop. They're there all the time, but you get to decide which ones you want to hold on to and which ones you want to let go. And I could never have done that by myself, Like I had to get formal training to learn how to create that space and awareness for what I talk about in my head all the time and how that drives my decisions. So you do feel that the mindfulness trainee actually did change your life. Oh my gosh, it changed. It was really the cornerstone or the launching pad, because then I started getting interested in all different types of modalities, energy practices, healers, ancient wisdom, and I really did a six year journey of seeking of what is out there? What can I learn about myself and how will that help me create more self satisfaction in the sense that I'm just comfortable in my own skin and potential joy. And that's what I talk about in my third book, Seeking is their key strategies to raise your energy, sidestep your self, dout, and align with your life's work. Because that's really what came out of all of this seeking.

17:25 That was an inside job. Wow. So how can we shift from seeking outward to seeking inward? That's a great question. That's a great question. So the first thing is your thoughts. I mean, you really have to mine your thoughts. I think the second thing is you have to pay attention to what you pay attention to. So what shows are you watching, what things are you eating, What conversations do you find yourself in, what friends are in your inner circle? You know, what interests you. I think for so many of us, we're all over the board like a ping pong ball with the energy that we hold. And for many of us, if we want to really leap into that next level of influencer impact, we often often have to hone our energy. We have to create a launching pad for ourselves. And oftentimes you really got to get yourself in the right space because many of us will say that we're positive, we have gratitude, but we're the first ones in our head or out loud to yell at somebody in the parking lot, be mad about the coffee machine, you know, take it out on somebody and our family, you know. And I feel like I really had to hone in my energy and really manage how I was showing up in the world. Wow, Now, what don't you mean by energy or even frequency. When you're referring to your life's path, what do you mean by that? Because you've mentioned so Yeah, as I mentioned before, I

18:55 came from the tech space, the computer space, and you know when a long time ago I worked on radio and television and telephone, so that type of technologies and offend radio, AM radio, off M radio is frequency modulation. And so I really think about energy like a radio station. You know, are you at eighty five point seven ninety two point one? Okay, you know ninety five point four ninety nine, you know one oh two? Where are you most of the time? And if you want to create more opportunities for yourself or more levels of engagement, how do you is the energy you're at working or do you have to raise your energy to get into different rooms and different conversations? And so how do you do that? And that really goes back to what are you watching? What are you reading? What are you talking about? What are you saying to yourself? Because what I had to do is I had to move from being more of a practicing polluter of oh gosh, the coffee machine is empty, or can you believe that person didn't call me back? Or can you believe I was on hold for an hour or I was supposed to fly home yesterday and get home today, and all those people are idiots, like where are you on the spectrum?

20:04 And like how do you not let the outside world impact your energy? And that's been a real journey for me, is to not let the outside world impact what radio station I am resonating at. And that's been a really interesting experience and beneficial experience because I prefer to be at a higher frequency because I get some really cool opportunities and conversations like this, and I get to do some really awesome work, but I was not getting access to when I was at a lower radio station, right right, Wow, So can you also, you know, help yourself, Like you were saying, what are you looking at? What? You know? What are some of the things that I would imagine, the people that you're surrounding yourself with in different things like that. So I guess it would help too sometimes when you just kind of get away from it all and just you know, say hey, I'm just gonna shut down for the day, no cell phone, no computer, no people, no anything. I mean, doesn't that doing something like that wouldn't that help? Maybe the kind of it re energize you, Like you said, bring that frequency back up or yeah, if you have things that like I yes, so, yes you could. I don't have that luxury as much as I'd like to be quite honest, you know, I have a thriving business that I don't. You know, I have to do every day

21:37 right, so I can't just shut down, And if I did, I don't know if I'd have the mental peace. But what I can do is, you know, before nine am, or really before eight thirty, I have to do something outside or I have to go to a class, or I have to do something because I know that I will be a better worker if I break a sweat. I just know that about myself. So like that is part of my day most days. And I definitely when I go to bed at night, I'm listening to motivational things. I'm watching YouTube videos, I'm listening to books on Audible. So I have bookends in my day that I really feel like help me start and end the day on a really high energy. Absolutely, and you and I seems like we have basically the same routine because that's the way I am. The first thing in the morning, my beginning my day. I have an exercise class that I go to and like you said, it's like that's my me time, you know, where I can go and let off that energy and you know, release and different things like that. And again, like you said, before I go to bed, I don't put any negative energy in me, Like I don't watch anything on TV that I know that's gonna have me. You know, sometimes you watch this stuff or you listen to this stuff, and you lay down and go to bed and your mind is churning with all that stuff in there. And so I'm like you, I don't like to have that kind of stuff, you know, in my head. When I get ready to go to bed, I like something that's soothing, you know. I listen

23:11 to different types of music or and if I do watch something, it's gonna be something maybe that makes me laugh or you know that's that's funny and something that I can enjoy because it gives you a piece in your you know, like you said, in your mind before you actually go to bed or what have you. Because I, yeah, that, wow, that is so interesting how our I guess our brains can adjust to different things and how it soaks in different things too, because when you say about the mindfulness, when you think about it, it's really making sure that your mind is well and that you're feeding at the right things. That that's what it sounds like almost that you you you really want to make sure that it's you know, you're getting the right stuff in there that will keep you balanced, keep you at peace, keep you like you said, you can't you know, for you, shutting down a whole day is just not in the cards. So you have to do other things to make sure that you're getting through the day without all that stuff in your head. Wow, that's true. And a lot of people say, well, a lot of this significant other and he or she does this to me. I just want to say, like, nobody really does anything to you. The reality is is that is the energy that you're attracting right now, and if you work to raise your energy. Yeah, those people often just float away, as sad as it may be.

24:42 You know, when I moved from where I was to where I am now, like some relationships, yes, it just kind of disappeared. Some had abrupt endings unexpectedly, but I know now that they weren't for my highest good. And when I was writing, yeah, when I was writing this third book, Seeking, I had a conversation with my close friends and I said, you know, I'm writing this book and it's a really high frequency book, and I have to stay in a zone. So when we chat or whatever, I'm not going to be able to like dissect the neighborhood whatever, or talk about whatever that might not be high frequency. I'll be like, you know, on the weekends or whatever, I'll call you, gonna have twenty minutes or talk about whatever. But like if we talked her in the week, I'm just going to have to keep it really high because I'm writing every day and I just don't want to spend another hour trying to get back to a different energy frequency. So I just told my friends and family and they were pretty cool about it. They think it's funny. They're like, what frequency are you in now? You know, They kind of make a joke of it. But the reality is is like I had to almost verbalize it when I was writing this third book because it was such a beautiful process in a lot of ways, it was an intense process of just information that was just coming out on these pages, and I just really had to be mindful of my energy, especially towards the end when it was all really coming together, like I could not get myself caught up in nonsense. Absolutely,

26:17 And I remember thinking as you were talking and when I was younger, and like you were saying about relationships, they just kind of fade away. But I remember thinking one day, after a relationship I had been in, I thought to myself, you know, something has got to change, because if there's an idiot within a fifty mile radius, they will attach themselves to me. And it has to be something that I'm attracting that's causing this. So I had, Yeah, you know, so I understand what you mean about having the change the way you kind of do things too, so that you can attract something different. And you know, some of those things that, like you say, you just kind of start fading away. They don't you know, I don't get that. I don't have that problem anymore, you know, So just I fout that so funny, And I actually, like I said, I literally sat down and thought that and I had to, you know, I had to laugh at it because I thought, yeah, you're gonna have to change something. Yeah. Wow, And it's probably so helpful for the work you do now because you can really empathize with people when they're different parts of their life and what they're going through because you know, I and all the work that I'm doing, like so many things that come your way, are to learn something, to expand your sphere of knowing.

27:41 You know, and even sometimes we don't even realize it, it really might give us like the stepping stone to the next thing. And So if you're in a situation right now where you're like, I don't know why this is happening to me, I can't believe this, maybe just say what am I supposed to learn from this? What am I supposed to learn from this situation? Because you want to move through that lesson, especially if it's a yucky one as fast as possible. Yeah, Yeah, it's a learn it's actually a learning experience it. You know, you can learn something from it if you let yourself, you can learn something from it. Wow. So how do you handle self doubt? Now? You know with this new insight and awareness that you have, especially about the mindfulness part. Well, I have self doubt just like the rest of us all the time, like it's always there, But now I sort of follow what Jensen Sarah says in her book.

28:37 You're a badass, she says, let me just see what I can do. Let me see, because if I'm just seeing, I'm not putting all these expectations on how it has to look or what it needs to be. But I'm just checking it out. And I really love that advice because it gives me permission to lean into things. I have no idea what I'm doing. You know, I'm going to start helping more women get published. And even though I publish through my own books, I'm putting all the pieces together. And the self doubt around that is obviously high, but you know what I've done it. I have all the connections, I have all the back office, Like, yes, I'm going to learn, but you know what, I'm going to help more women get published. And to me, that's a bigger why than anything that could possibly go wrong. Absolutely. Wow.

29:22 So besides being a successful business woman and award winning book writer, you're also a light worker. So ullus, what does that mean? Oh gosh, Well, I've been on this healing journey essentially, and we all can heal a story, an experience, a situation. Most of us have something they have to work through, and I would say, through that I've learned a lot about myself, about my connection, about my ability to channel information and even just create a path for myself that often inspires others on their path. And I think for many of us, when we work through digging those stories, when we work from digging out at the darkness, it illuminates us and illuminates others. Now, your book Seeking that you wrote, this is about your journey. Tell us a little bit more about your books seeking.

30:21 Yeah, so Sinking Seeking is very much about my journey, and it's a lot of stuff that I did off the side of my desk. So you'll see a stack of books off the side of my desk. It's things that I did because I felt inspired to learn more about myself. And when I was writing the book, I really talked about the relationship with my mother, my challenges with perfectionism, how money had driven so many of my decisions, and the energy I've been giving money for decades, and how I had it to shift that. So the appendance of the book is quite dense because I share not only all the books I read, the webinars I've attended, but all the energy healers I've gone too, and I've extended that into a community so that people can really work through things that are no longer serving them.

31:07 And I feel like Seeking for many people has been that book that has helped them lean into what is calling them. So tell us what's next on the horizon, anything coming up that you want to share with us and let us know about. Well, definitely helping more healers, energy practitioners, like really great energy people getting their work published because I think we need more of that in the world. So that's definitely on the horizon. But also I'm working on I've been doing retreats for about fourteen retreats I've already done, and I've been gifted this beautiful retreat place on Lake Erie, and so I'm going to be starting to put more programming together for people to come to the water, work with energy practitioners, put their feet in Mother Natures, maybe sit in a drumming circle, or sit through a bio hacking circle. Just really giving people access to more things to help them shift the energy that's no longer serving them. And isn't that great. I did a retreat earlier in the year where we went we were on a lake, rented a house on a lake, and some the ladies went and it was just amazing, you know, the energy that was there in that group. And you know how some of the ladies that they really really needed that, you know, just to be able to get away for a little while and kind of rejuvenate themselves, you know, replenished, like they filled their own cups first, you know,

32:40 before they can take on the world and take and help anybody else, kind of help themselves first to get back into the swing of things. So that's retreats. I just love them. I think they're fantastic thing to do. Yeah, So tell us if you had one piece of advice that you would lead with our viewers and our listeners, what would that advice be. Now, there are very few accidents, very few, you know, most things that cross your path are here to serve you in some way. And I feel like you just have to be in the present moment to see, be aware, listen to what is coming to you. Most of my messages come through other people. If I hear things two or three times, I'm like, oh, okay, I probably should lean into that. So I think that, you know, my whole goal in my life is to be in the present moment. As often as possible. Mindfulness has definitely helped me do that, but it has given me the joy that I was seeking, and also the just the experience that we're having here every moment. And if you're still listening to us, there's more in life for you. It's really about you just kind of away the stuff that is no longer serving you so that you can really be in a place to shine. Absolutely. Now, you mentioned wanting also wanting to help others to get their work published, you know,

34:15 so do you are you? Do you have your own publishing company now? Or is this just coaching that you will do to help them to get you know, get through that some people have takes a really long time, or they don't know where to start or you know, how to get started even to to start to write and to publish anything. So is it you, uh, literally publishing for them? Are you coaching them through how to get through that process? Either or honestly I have options for both and whatever they seem to need. I think people that have quite a bit of stuff written already is probably where I'm going to start. Is people that I have sitting on manuscripts or close to finished manuscripts that are looking not only how to get published, but how to get noticed, because unfortunately, writing a book is a ton of work, but marketing it is often harder. And not knowing where to start or what to do and things that you need to do six months before you publish, six weeks, six days, and then six months after is so critical and I wish I had that when I published my first book, and now that I have all the people and the resources, I'm looking forward to sharing these with more people so that they can really use their book as a launching pad for where they want to have more influence and impact. Absolutely, that's fantastic. Well, tell us how can our viewers and listeners get in touch with you if they want more information about what you do, also about the publishing getting their book published. How can they reach

35:45 out to you? I think the best way. I mean, obviously, I have a website in social media under my name JJD Geronimo, but I'm a back to the LinkedIn user, as you will see if you check out my profile, so that's a great way. I'm on there multiple times a day, but you can access me just about every which way. So using Google to find me, you can find your best favorite platform. Wow. Well, JJ, thank you so much for coming on the show and sharing the great nuggets that you shared with us. We really appreciate having you. And if there's anything else that you would like to let our audience know before we go to any the upcoming events that I have coming up, you feel free to do so. If not, then we'll just thank you again for being here. So if there's anything else that you want to share with us, feel free to do so. Well. I just want to thank you for your work and what you do for so many women, because I feel like women really have a struggle doing it alone and they often need people that are going to push them along, help understand their obstacles and even connect them with more women. And I think you do that fabulously.
