Hello listeners.
2
:Welcome back to The Science of Self.
3
:Thanks for joining us today.
4
:I'm happy to introduce to you
our guest, Debbie Dobbins,
5
:author of Your Inner Billionaire.
6
:Debbie Dobbins: I'm calling
myself the barefoot thought leader
7
:because I love being barefoot.
8
:Like I've spent a lot of time in Dale,
Carmen, Mexico, on the Caribbean.
9
:Which is where I wrote my
book, your Inner Billionaire.
10
:And I've had people say to me
quite often that actually I don't
11
:really wanna be a billionaire.
12
:And I realize that I don't wanna
be a billionaire either in my bank
13
:account, but I wanna be a billionaire
inside so that I enjoy life from the
14
:same perspective that billionaires
do, which is the sense of freedom.
15
:So my primary, clients are women,
and I help women awaken their inner
16
:billionaire because it isn't a journey
of finding and discovering yourself.
17
:It's about revealing yourself.
18
:So my mission in life, is to have everyone
reveal their inner billionaire, it's
19
:just about uncovering who you truly are.
20
:Russell Newton: A real billionaire,
if we're talking in terms of dollars,
21
:obviously has none of those worries that
the rest of us have about day-to-day
22
:paying bills and keeping food on
the table or paying for the house
23
:keeping the roof fixed and so forth.
24
:the inner billionaire.
25
:If the roof is leaking, what do they do?
26
:Debbie Dobbins: Well, first of all,
I approached this from a holistic,
27
:place because when I wrote the
book, I was telling my story.
28
:I wrote this as a love letter to myself,
that I've been an abundance teacher for
29
:probably 30 years, and I did approach
it of how to make money and how to have
30
:a mindset, which is really fantastic.
31
:We need all of that.
32
:And yet, I was diagnosed with cancer
about six years ago, and what I
33
:found was I didn't have medical
insurance, even though that seems to
34
:be a popular thing to get these days.
35
:I didn't have it and I ended up being.
36
:Flat broke, so it was flat
on my back and flat broke.
37
:And I often say in this book, it's
about those moments when you have these
38
:critical problems show up in your life.
39
:Literally, I was on food stamps,
I know what that feeling is like.
40
:It's not as if I really understand
being an inner billionaire from the
41
:perspective that I've had all these
opportunities in my life, I actually
42
:have been where that person would be
without the ability to pay for the roof.
43
:And the fact is, is that you can focus
on the poverty of not being able to fix
44
:the roof, because the more you focus
on that, the more the roof won't be
45
:fixed, or you can begin to adopt some
of the principles I share in the book.
46
:Which begins with gratitude, which I
have two chapters on gratitude, because
47
:gratitude is the gateway to everything.
48
:I can't say that enough.
49
:So even if the roof is falling down and
you don't have the money, the first thing
50
:you have to do, and this is probably
51
:gonna, everybody's gonna go,
oh, that's impossible, is
52
:You have to be grateful.
53
:This is the situation that I'm in.
54
:What do I do next?
55
:here's the thing is that
we can always build a story
56
:however we wanna build a story.
57
:That's the thing about our brains, and
that's why I do love neuroplasticity
58
:so much, is because you can shift
and morph that you can create new
59
:grooves in your brain anytime you want.
60
:And yet you still have to start with
this body by feeling that emotionally
61
:because it's the frequency of our
emotions in our body that actually
62
:project what we're seeing on the outside.
63
:So just to use the roof example.
64
:If I'm sitting in the middle of my
living room and I have a leaky roof,
65
:and I see that I have no money,
and if I start to focus on all the
66
:negative, I'm gonna see more of that.
67
:So it really is so important for us
as a human species to stop blaming
68
:and pointing fingers and complaining,
and start really operating at a very
69
:high vibration, which is gratitude and
giving, and loving and communication and
70
:connection, and all these good, happy
qualities, but they truly do build a life
71
:around you that is absolutely sensational.
72
:Russell Newton: So to
cultivate the gratitude, do you
73
:recommend a gratitude journal?
74
:As you might read a lot of places,
75
:Debbie Dobbins: any type of
gratitude is good more you can
76
:resonate in your body with it.
77
:So everyone is.
78
:Well, a lot of people, I
wouldn't say everybody.
79
:I have a family member that
doesn't understand how to,
80
:tap into their feelings.
81
:But we do have these emotions and the
emotions are the things that cause
82
:the chemical reactions in our body
that then charge up the frequency.
83
:I call our brains our little now because
the AI is connected to the nervous system.
84
:So it really is about
slowing down, number one.
85
:So whether you're gonna do a
journal, you're gonna do it through
86
:meditation or you're gonna do it
just by being out in the world.
87
:I'll drive in my car and I
can bring myself to tears.
88
:Literally because I am so grateful.
89
:I've always appreciated my body
and I think I really began to
90
:appreciate it even more when
you're staring death in the face.
91
:You just have a different appreciation.
92
:And so just now moving through science,
and I've really loved understanding
93
:neuroscience and just put it in context
with this physical body that has all of
94
:these stored emotions and chemicals, and
then it's connected with a vagus nerve and
95
:it's just a big, beautiful, had a friend
that went to, Scientology years ago, and
96
:he calls, and I find myself saying this
every once in a while, this meat stick
97
:that we walk around in, I mean, it's
just a, it's an amazing vessel, right?
98
:It's got all these different looks
to it, but in the reality, we're a
99
:meat stick with an AI on top of it,
and we're just navigating the world.
100
:Everything is not matter, it's energy.
101
:So this has a frequency, this
piece of paper has a frequency.
102
:This book has a frequency.
103
:We have a frequency, and our frequency
is predicated on a couple of those
104
:factors that you just shared.
105
:And it is the brainwave
frequencies, the theta, the delta.
106
:And so I became a hypnotherapist.
107
:Oh gosh, I was telling this to
somebody else the other day.
108
:can't believe it's over 30 years
ago, like:
109
:And that's when I really began to
learn about the brain frequency.
110
:So like everything is now, you
can have an E, K, G, and they
111
:can measure those frequencies.
112
:And so the slower the frequency in
your brain, we'll just use that one for
113
:the first part of this conversation.
114
:Beta is where we're in beta,
most of our, waking life, beta
115
:is like very, it's like staccato.
116
:the higher your stress
level is, the more beta is.
117
:we wanna do is get into the
alpha, which is a slower brainwave
118
:pattern, if you've ever seen it.
119
:It's, you know, it's just
like looking at a sound graph.
120
:Once you get down to alpha and
then beta and theta, those are the
121
:receptivity brainwave patterns.
122
:So that's why hypnosis or meditation
allows you to begin to implant things
123
:that bypass your unconscious gateway,
because that's really what keeps us stuck.
124
:We're in beta, we're just repetitive.
125
:We're doing what the AI tells
us and we keep going forward.
126
:But the fact is, is that between
age one and seven, our brains
127
:are in that alpha pattern.
128
:Which is the receptive pattern.
129
:This is when we're taking all the,
imagine, I always call this our ai.
130
:So if we program AI and we give
it the right information, it's
131
:always gonna be able to share
back what questions we're asking.
132
:That's why I love AI so much and it's
just moving us in a different direction.
133
:But the fact is when we're one to eight,
we're downloading information we're
134
:making our judgements then and building
our stories about what life looks like.
135
:Then once you hit past day eight-ish,
you close the window, right?
136
:Then we go into that beta.
137
:So now what we do is we take all
the information and we begin to
138
:project, these are my beliefs.
139
:This is how the world operates.
140
:Now I'm going to create it
because we are the great creators.
141
:Easiest way to describe a binaural
beat is a frequency going in one ear.
142
:You have two headphones with it.
143
:One ear say it's at four, beats per
second, and this one's at three.
144
:What happens is your brain has to
reconcile it, and while it's doing that,
145
:it takes you, and the first time I ever
heard about binaural beats, it said
146
:it takes you immediately to that same
state of mind that Tibetan monks get in.
147
:And I went, well, I'm all on that program.
148
:Please sign me up.
149
:And what I discovered is that
it works and it is absolutely
150
:phenomenal how deeply you can get
into meditation if you use bin beats.
151
:But there's so much of it on the YouTube
and the internet now that sometimes
152
:I question whether or not they're
really truly, I've created my own.
153
:But it is so fascinating how we can
just allow the brain to more or less
154
:just center and link into what is
that true, receptive energy, which
155
:is Alpha Theta and Delta waves.
156
:I'll just say religion is dogmatic.
157
:spirituality is consciousness
the way I perceive spirituality.
158
:we're all conscious, my version of
spirituality is that we're all one.
159
:the end of the story.
160
:So if we're all one, then we're
all, you know, seeing each other as
161
:godliness, walking around the planet.
162
:And religion is very much, and I have some
amazing friends and I've studied religion,
163
:that there are some beautiful essences of,
most religions, probably all I should say.
164
:And they all have this common
golden thread that run through
165
:them, which is spirituality.
166
:It's the dogma that sandwiches
them together that sometimes
167
:can be off putting to people.
168
:But I know people in every religion
That are as spiritual as all get out.
169
:Because when you begin to
really dive into the essence of
170
:spirituality, it is consciousness.
171
:And that's what I believe
we're all headed for.
172
:Ultimately, wherever consciousness is,
173
:I believe that there needs
to be an owner's manual for
174
:how we as humans operate.
175
:That's given to us in the delivery room.
176
:Like we don't have any idea, we're
just trying to figure it out.
177
:And so now there's a lot of
information, but those stories,
178
:whether they're cognitive, the way
you describe them, or I call 'em a
179
:money story, they're just stories.
180
:That's all they are.
181
:And I use this example, there was a
gentleman on a documentary I was watching
182
:not too long ago, and it was about
people having traumatic experiences.
183
:Literally a lady was completely
burned from head to toe.
184
:And you know, we can all come
through these horrific experiences.
185
:But this one gentleman was hit by
a semi-truck, I think he might've
186
:been on a bike he was devastated.
187
:he almost did die.
188
:And he resented the person
that hit him for years.
189
:we get to the point in the story
where he's talking to a therapist
190
:and he says, got hit by a truck.
191
:and I almost died.
192
:And the therapist said,
you got hit by a truck.
193
:And he says, and I almost died.
194
:And he said, but you're
sitting right here.
195
:to say that cancer saved my life
sounds really incongruent on so
196
:many levels yet that really is
truly, I've never been happier.
197
:I've never been healthier, I've never
been wealthier than since that time.
198
:And it truly began with the
incubation of just being me.
199
:Like there wasn't any, I lived by myself.
200
:California when this was going on,
and I also was able to see how amazing
201
:manifestation, if that's the word
that we wanna use, so that people can
202
:understand it, is available to all of us.
203
:I had the best doctors,
I had the best surgeons.
204
:I had the best medical treatment
that just came out of nowhere.
205
:Literally, when I was diagnosed, I went.
206
:Okay, I don't have insurance.
207
:What am I gonna do?
208
:they just started coming.
209
:People were showing up to give me food.
210
:People were showing up to take
care of my, cat when I had to go
211
:into the hospital for surgeries.
212
:I had the most amazing nurses.
213
:And so it was just this blend of really
being, once again, going back to the
214
:whole gratitude thing, that I could be
so grateful for a time in my life that
215
:so many people would've said, wow, I
don't want to be in this experience.
216
:And yet I just blessed
it every step of the way.
217
:I've got a time vendor process that
helps you create more time for yourself.
218
:Because what we do is we live in this
world of stress and overwhelm and all
219
:of that is keeping us from our good.
220
:So now with all this AI help, we should
be having these lives that are much
221
:more expansive and I still, people still
see people working harder and longer.
222
:So to find out more about anything,
you can put the debbie dobbins.com,
223
:that's my website, and it'll
lead you to some of the programs.
224
:But I would say the best thing
you can do right now is opt in
225
:for the divine wealth activator.
226
:Just type in divine wealth activator.com.
227
:It'll and it's a great jumpstart
to begin to start building that
228
:consciousness for wealth building.
229
:Yeah, so one of the things I start
out in the course with the Ignite, I
230
:call it Ignite your Inner Billionaire.
231
:So we take the book and do it in
a course, and anybody can do this
232
:just by this simple instruction.
233
:I call it future journaling, but
there's not a journal involved.
234
:Imagine that you're talking
to a friend about your future.
235
:So I woke up today and you can't
believe the deal that I got.
236
:Oh my gosh, everybody is so
excited to be working with me.
237
:So future journaling is just about
being in the present moment as if it's
238
:happening right now, but letting that
energetic, feeling come up into your body.
239
:You can do it anywhere, anytime, and
even if people are listening to you,
240
:they don't know who you're talking to.
241
:So that's one little wonderful
trick and tip that I can share.
242
:Gratitude is the gateway.
243
:100%.
244
:We talked about that enough, but
gratitude just begin right now.
245
:Practicing gratitude and then giving.
246
:Giving is really an important
ingredient to building.
247
:Abundance, whatever you're giving.
248
:So when I talk about abundance,
it's a holistic approach.
249
:So it's abundance of relationships, it's
abundance of wealth, it's abundance of
250
:health, it's abundance of spirituality.
251
:So we do a wheel and we talk
about all areas of your life.
252
:If you want more of whatever you
say you want more of, give it away.
253
:So let's say you want more
love, give more love away.
254
:You want more money.
255
:And I'm not talking about it from
the perspective of obligation.
256
:'cause I have a lot of times people
share with me, oh, I give 20% and
257
:they're doing it out of obligation
because they've learned it.
258
:That's part of their money story.
259
:I like to give a new technique
of giving from the perspective
260
:of your right hand does not know
what your left hand is doing.
261
:Because when you give, you have to give
freely and without anybody knowing it.
262
:Stephen Covey, says, seek first to
understand, then to be understood.
263
:I think in the world that we live in
today, if we could just practice that
264
:then that would make a better world.
265
:And then one of the other things
that I often share with people And
266
:ask myself when I'm in a challenging
situation or somebody's pushing
267
:my buttons, is what would love do?
268
:And if you ask yourself when
you're in the middle of customer
269
:service, people are always the ones
that get me a little triggered.
270
:I have to stop and go, what would love do?
271
:Love wouldn't yell at them.
272
:So I think those two things seek first
to understand and then to be understood.
273
:And then what would love
do in this circumstance?
274
:And if you haven't read Stephen Covey's
book, then go read the story where
275
:he talks about that with the it makes
me cry every time I think about it.
276
:The guy on the train with the kids, right?
277
:We never know.
278
:We never know what someone else is going
through and we judge it as if we do.
279
:And so if we seek to understand,
if we just begin to practice that
280
:one thing, life will become better.
281
:And my book is available on Amazon if you
want to go check it out there as well.
