Once the subconscious mind accepts an idea, it begins to execute it. My name is Andrea and this is adult child.

Welcome back to adult child, where we take a deep dive into the impact of growing up in a dysfunctional family.

How's it going? My shit show pirate peeps. So today we are diving deep with Brenda Johnston. So let me read to you how she describes herself on her website.

So she says that she is a subconscious strategist, an intuitive energetics architect, and a professional f-bomb dropper. So she's going to fit in perfectly here.

Now also to any new listeners, I tend to say fuck more than the average gel, so just letting you know. So what the hell is a subconscious strategist? So basically she works with people to reprogram their subconscious mind in order for them to live their very, very best lives.

I got connected to Brenda through Tiffany Carter, friend of the pod, Tiffany Carter, and she has been Tiffany's been working with Brenda. She's been doing these energy clearing sessions, and Tiffany has just was raving about how powerful the experience has been. So I was like, let me talk to this chick.

And it's good timing. It's relevant for me. You know, over the past couple weeks, I've been aware of feeling the effects of some subconscious beliefs that I still need to work through, specifically around success, abundance, money.

And the limiting belief is not that I'm not capable of great success, but essentially that I will self sabotage. This podcast is another vessel for me to work through my stuff too.

So thank you for coming along the ride with this shit show here. I don't have this shit figured out, you guys. I hope you, I think you guys know that, but make sure that I don't. Okay, let's get a move on. But first, how might you damn the join Patreon? Okay, this is where I host three weekly Zoom support groups.

And this is the hottest club in town. Okay, do you guys know that, remember that SNL skit with a billhater? He, he would do Stefan where he would talk about like the hottest clubs in, in New York. I think I need to do like a Stefan about the hottest club in Tomping, the Patreon.

But yes, hottest place in town, three groups a week, everyone is so fucking cool guys. Okay, there is a group of really cool people that you could be friends with. So how about you, you do the damn thing and you go to patreon.com slash adult child, you won't regret it.

Next, go give me a little follow on the Instagram on the TikTok at adult child pod. Last but not least, how about you give me a damn five star rating on Apple on Spotify? This is a non-negotiable. Okay, let's get on with it.

Well, first things first, I just want to apologize to anyone whose mom may be named Brenda, because I know Nicole, I have one, one listener at least that I know that she says and Brenda. So I just wanted to put that out of the way. Apologies for anybody who might find that triggering. So welcome Brenda. Thank you.

I had to bring that up. Is that like the Karen? It's kind of like it's kind of like, you know, isn't it? Like, you know, it's like a little bit different. It's like, yeah, but I think that Brenda's funner to say than like Karen. Like you can't really like Karen. That's like Brenda is way better.

Brenda's way funner to say. Yeah, I dig it. Well, welcome to this ship show.

Um, really excited to talk to you. I've been today this morning. I was just benzene a bunch of your episodes, which a lot of listeners should go and check out because they would relate deeply.

Okay, so I made you hold the phone. You said that you've had some a haze about your own upbringing as a result of listening. Yeah.

Also, like as a result of like your TikToks and the things I had and like I mentioned this to you earlier, I hadn't really been exposed to the adult child terminology.

I'm a Gen X person. So like our generation, I kind of feel like we were all kind of disconnected. Oh, shout out to all the Canadians. Then we got an old Canada. She's a, she's a.

Like how we do. Yeah. Yeah. So do you sometimes you just take maple syrup baths and just watch hockey? You know what? I fucking hate hockey. I do like maple syrup.

What about like maple syrup baths and eating poutine maple syrup and eating bacon. If you've never had bacon and poured maple syrup and I'm not talking about like shitty process maple syrup. I'm talking about the good quality actual real.

Like $20 for a tiny little thing and maple syrup and you pour it all over your bacon.
