Hello, it's Howard brown. It's the shining brightly
podcast show. Oh my god. I have such an amazing, amazing person.
Laura Ballet. How are you?
Laura Brennan Ballet: I am fabulous. How are you?
What good. I'm great. And I should say Laura
Brennan Ballet. So we could give reference to your family name,
of course, as well. I want to tell you, I met Laura, I don't
know, maybe six months ago, and we are part of this little club.
Okay. Called the diamond moments and SONET we're gonna shout out
SONET van Beretta with beautiful, our beautiful mwah.
Right. And then also, we are part of the soul authors
journey. And we actually had a weekly show, where we talked
about what it is to be an author before, during and after, and
shout out to buddy Thorton and Randy Blake, and Christa rose,
right. And these are our peeps. And we are having such a blast
doing that. So it's been incredible. We've gotten to know
each other, and we spotlight our books and other author books,
and we become a panel and we comment on the what is behind
the book, what is the message? How you know, and it's really
cool. I'm enjoying that. I know you are, too.
Laura Brennan Ballet: Yeah, I love it. We get to see the
inside of the mind of an author and the process of sharing our
writing. So it's been quite a journey. I can't wait to
restart.
Yeah, I think we're starting up back up in
June. So I'm excited about that. And, and we're both part of the
year part of the diamond beauties. And I'm part of the
Tanzanite heroes. And it's just been a fabulous, you know, this
is collaboration at its best. It's so fun. We're having a
great day. And let me tell you a little bit more about Laura
Brennan Ballet. She's a global ambassador for life,
transformational empowerment and human awareness. Laura's skill
set gathered is gathered wills, wisdom and personal discipline
to advance human potential. And it's evident in her creative
work. The care consideration and genuine thoughtfulness of
supporting exploring empowered life, both personal and
professional, is really impactful for individuals. It's
life advancing. It helps their clients, attendees, listeners
around the globe, actually strive to get better bring joy
to their life. It's amazing. I love it. She loves co creating
with individuals who are willing to grow their past their present
mindsets, and repeat, not repeat negative patterns, and outdated
habits, and are in for a 360 view on how to create and
sustain happiness and well being. It's incredible. It's
great. So now that we shared a little bit about you and your
bio, tell us something that we may not know about you that you
want to share.
Laura Brennan Ballet: Yeah, I love this question. Because
something just recently happened to me that no one knows really
yet except for my husband and myself and maybe my family, my
close family. We were recently in Costa Rica, I was speaking at
an event and we decided to go hang out in the jungle and do
some ziplining experience. Wow, we did the Superman zipline,
which if anyone has ever experienced this, they bring you
to the highest point that you humanly have ever experienced.
They lay you on a table and you are strapped in like the
Superman position, pretty much with like a like a toggle here
and a toggle there. And they pull you back and off you go.
Now 1500 feet up in the air that's 80 stories high. You are
floating like a bug. No problem. I've got it right, super
empowered, I'm strong. All of a sudden, I see my husband fly by.
And I notice I'm slowing down. And they even put weights on me.
I'm kind of a little petite thing. I actually stopped in the
middle of the air. And I was swaying like a bug. I had no
idea how they were going to get me and Howard for the first
time. Probably in my entire adult awareness. I had a brief
moment of I think I'm scared. And I don't ever get scared. I
just don't because I don't have anything around my life that
would cause that emotion. And as I was blowing in the breeze
hanging on by just these two metal mechanisms, I was like
wow, this is what a lot of people really feel sometimes on
a daily basis. And now that I'm up here experiencing this very
real sensation in my body and this emotion and the thought
energy attached to it. I started really working this particular j
b equals a formula to get myself calm, so that I could bring back
a fresh new perspective of what it is to empower oneself when we
are in a bit of a challenging predicament. And long story
short, eventually, they figured out how to throw this magnetic
rope. And it caught on to part of the mechanism. And they had
to physically roped me into the platform.
So your husband's whizzing by because he weighs
more, but you're thinking of super. But that's what it was.
But your stop there. And it gave you a moment of deep
introspection and contemplation. But they did the rescue. But
they rescued you. They rescued you. They pulled you through and
all that. Oh my god. Thank you for sharing that. Yes. Wow. Oh,
my God. Alright, let's regroup. So tell me Give me a little more
background. So how do we had it Laura get, you know, to this
space now. So share a little background more.
Laura Brennan Ballet: Yeah. So I think I came into this world
with some knowledge and wisdom and really a high level of
energy that was already locked into my personality or my
consciousness, my spirit. And it's just always been knocking
at my door. And when I was 14, I went to my mom and told her one
day I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to change the
world. Alright, great. So many of us have that that statement,
right? We share all of this excitement in this desire in
these big dreams. But of course, my mom was like, beautiful,
great, why are you waiting till somewhere down the road? life
got in the way. And recently, I kept getting all of these
universal messages, just synchronicities that were coming
out of nowhere, right, which is what a synchronicity does. The
book the book, the book everywhere I would go as I
started travelling a lot more with my husband, I would start
talking and someone would say, you need to write a book, Why
aren't you coaching? Are you speaking anywhere, all of this
reflection. So finally, I just said, You know what, I need to
sit down and write a book. And very cool backstory also is my
brother, Chris Brennan. And I always give a heartfelt shout
out to him. He is the creator of the J three equals e formula.
This really was the spark that created the science of
empowerment. So there's this beautiful sibling, Cole
collaborative, creative experience that we went through.
And I started writing the book. And five years later, it came
out. And here we are. I
know. And you're now you motivate, educate,
inspire. We do this together, you lift up others. You
mentioned the formula, the J three e formula. People are
going to be curious, I know they can get the book, but give them
a teeny bit of what the formula is.
Laura Brennan Ballet: Yeah, I love this. I talk about this
everywhere. It's really now it's I firmly believe we have this
knowledge and information in our DNA we all do. It's just how do
we awaken to it? Or how do we come upon it, or certainly
someone like you that went through such a challenge, that
resilience, that beauty, that empowerment that came out of you
through this challenge, and what you have gifted out into the
world. So part of the J three equals a, it's five principles,
it's awareness to three fields of quantum energies. And when
you apply these principles, when you move yourself into the power
seat of choice, you now begin to create an empowered life. So the
j stands for jackal that is an the beginning of an acronym that
really represents four of the people closest to my brother, je
KL I'm the L in there, the three is negative, positive, neutral,
which energy are you? Which energy are you contributing to
each and every interaction and experience. And when you
position yourself in that power seat of choice, and you choose
neutrality, you now are able to empower a more positive
experience for you and others. And this begins to really create
and cultivate and sustain an empowered life.
It's thank you for explaining that for those that
are listening or watching. But you'll get the book and it dies
into a deeply so we'll talk about that. So I you know, you
referenced me Listen, I had an incredible life journey. But
twice in my life. I've been stopped dead in my tracks by
stage four cancer diagnosis where the outcomes were not
known. Nothing was guaranteed. And I call that my walk in
darkness. And I've had other walks in darkness too, but those
are pretty deep and I've had to learn from that. And I also use
the metaphor of light of using my light to help me understand
and learn from it, and also be able to then lift up others. So
you speak in your book and on your, on your talks in your
coaching about healing past patterns in order to create the
Empire powered life touch on that for us. Yeah, I think this
is
Laura Brennan Ballet: such a key to really cracking the code to
living an empowered life, we have become so accustomed to be
friending these patterns, these outdated and unnecessary ways of
being in our life, whether they're habits, behaviours,
patterns, stories, thought processes. And what they do is
they hold us in this vibration of an energy that does not
really expand, what could be the possibilities, the natural
organic expansion of filling out are human potential abilities.
So outdated patterns are something I address on the
upfront of most conversations. And I really challenge my
clients and the people who are listening in the readership
around the world, to suspend those outdated patterns and
begin to become self actualized. And think, as if you already are
connected to an empowered life. Now, look at those patterns, and
how are they serving you in your present and future growth. And
most people immediately realise they're not serving me at all.
They serve me to stay connected to the past, not be present, and
certainly not tune into my potential and the ability of
what's in my future.
I a part of this empowerment is that you call you
can become an architect or a builder of higher thinking,
right? Is that? Is that how we go through it? And that's the
discipline. Yeah,
Laura Brennan Ballet: use the ability of this brilliant mind
to connect to that part. And however you want to word it, it
could be soul connection, spiritual connection, certainly,
God energy, right, when we connect with God in our faith,
we all have different ways of arriving to this. But if you
think about an architect, and they have these beautiful
tables, and they have all of these measurements, right, these
tools of measuring and engineering and creating these
visuals in the process of designing something new, and so
I challenge again, people who listen become the architect, the
designer, the engineer, of what an empowered life can be for
you, and everyone you come in contact with.
As you heard me say before it can be done right.
We all get knocked down in life and in business and in health me
specifically and in relationships, but we can get
back up again. And I have to tell you, so you call it an
architect, I call myself Humpty Dumpty, right? I need to put
myself back together again, emotionally, physically,
financially, meaning career or finance or money. And then the
hardest ones always relationships. always the
hardest one?
Laura Brennan Ballet: Well, there's the biggest, reflective
mechanism we have that's built into the human condition. No
matter if it's your partner, it's your children. It's people
that we worship with. It's the people you deal with at school,
you know, your work environment. other human beings carry
frequency that either matches, resonates, aligns, or disrupts
our own vibration or our own thought process, ie our
personalities. And how can we use that reflection, to grow,
right to evolve and again, to inspire and create a level of
empowerment. So when we leave one another, we feel better, we
feel transformed? And yes, we can live like this all day long.
So I have to tell you, I'm fairly new to energy
and vibrations, and some of our audience listening and watching
might be as well. So maybe you can share why is energy, you
know, an important aspect of this self growth and self
evolution.
Laura Brennan Ballet: Yeah, we seem to forget that we are
energy in motion. Energy is in everything, even the desk that
we're sitting on, or the chair, the studio, the microphone,
everything is energy. It's either free flowing and
expressive and expansive, or it's condensed. We are energy
beings. Our thought has energy. Our biology has energy, our
heart Oh my god, the energy that's in our heart centre,
right that consciousness spirit, that God connection, all of this
is energy. So when we tap in to knowing that there's negative
and positive energies, atoms, ions, etc. And what we did with
the formula is we positioned neutrality right in there,
because many of us can't go from negative energy on happiness or
disempowerment or unhealthy patterns, bad behaviour, we
cannot recalibrate that right into positive behaviour and
patterns immediately. This is the beauty and the power of
neutrality, it's really become my superpower. Now, it's what I
rely on all the time, is to give us the resting ridge of
understanding. We are energy in motion, we can choose to be
negative or positive. And we do this through the awareness of
neutralising negative energy. And having fun and getting
excited about creating more positive experiences.
Don't like Dr. Lord to me? That's incredible.
You also referenced something there. I heard thought energy
but written energy. Yeah, what is written energy?
Laura Brennan Ballet: Oh, I love this. And I've talked to a few
people that are much more advanced and beautiful and
powered than I am. And when they've read the book, they have
referenced that when they're reading the words, they actually
have physical sensation, or internal movement, something
they quite can't put their finger on, which is just energy
being sparked. It's something in us that maybe was lying dormant,
or we haven't quite awakened to or we've never even thought
about. So written energy. So when someone reads shining
brightly when someone reads the science of empowerment, and you
read it with the mindset of energy, structured around the
words, the sentences, the verses, now, how does that come
across to you? How was it leaping off the page and
settling into your very being. And when we look at written
energy from that perspective, it now elevates thought energy, so
we actually aren't just taking in information, we're learning
how to apply new knowledge to create a better life.
I agree with you, because if you read something,
and then it makes you laugh, or it makes you cry, or makes you
take a call to action. It's powerful. It's really powerful.
And thank you for sharing that. It's really amazing. And so,
transformation. It's not easy. Sometimes it's also a longer
term process. Like I always say, if you're trying to lose, you
know, 75 pounds, you're not doing that in two days. Right?
You have to have a plan. And so how do people transform the you
know, and get get unstuck? How do they transform, you know,
every day, experiences and accelerate, you know, their
advancement?
Laura Brennan Ballet: Yeah, this is the beauty and the power of
why I love this formula. When you run through, move through an
Ask yourself the five principles, every time you're up
against a challenge. First, people may say, Oh, my God, if I
have to think about, you know, awareness, or willingness or
critical thinking all the time, how am I going to transform?
However, what I challenge them is to realise you think about
something anyways. But it's a pattern. It's a set way of
being, it's in relation to a stagnated mindset, or just an
outlay of an algorithm that's already been implanted right
inside the brain. We become what we see what we hear what we eat
what we feel. So now when you move through the formula, you
wake up and you wake up in a bad mood had a bad dream, or you had
a fight or there's some challenge. What am I aware of in
the moment? I'm not happy? What am I willing to do? neutralise
it? What am I accountable to my feelings only critical thinking
fourth principle very strong supportive principle here, we
remove the emotionality at the moment of awareness. This
doesn't mean we don't feel it means we are less reactive to
the pattern, because we're now as the architect redesigning a
new thought process around a life we would rather strive for,
then settle for fifth principle, energy, negative, positive
neutral. I've just neutralised right there within 12 seconds
how I woke up, because I am aware that I do not want to be
in a bad mood today, I am willing to be accountable to how
I'm thinking about the energy that I am experiencing,
therefore contributing to the world. So I think when we move
through this formula on a daily basis, consistent basis, the
mind starts to align with had the potential rather than the
pattern. And this is how transformation shows up.
And we are so aligned because I break break it
down. Are you being authentic, your authentic self? Are you
being intentional? Are you being held accountable, which we all
do to each other? I love our group for that. Do you have the
discipline? Do you have the resistance, and don't lose hope,
because sometimes it's two steps back before you go two steps
forward. It's a really, really beautiful thing. And I just
think that you're, as I even said in one of my comments, when
we actually spotlight to your book that you're actually you're
not leaving a legacy. You're living your legacy, every day.
And it's beautiful. And it's just I love it. So we're at the
time of the show where we get to put on our glasses. And the
reason we do that please put your glasses on is that I want
to shine this shining brightly spotlight on you, Laura Brennan
belay, so I want you to tell people how to get in touch with
you, I want you to you have some potential giveaways of your book
