Speaker 1:

What's up, my good people, welcome to the CJ Money Way show Today. Welcome to the show a woman who has a doctorate in chiropractor, bachelor's degree in nutrition and published author, dr Lynn Carey. How you doing today, lynn?

Speaker 2:

I'm doing great CJ. How are you?

Speaker 1:

I'm fine. Thank you for joining the show today.

Speaker 2:

Thank you for having me. It's an honor to be here.

Speaker 2:

I appreciate it. So before we get started, can you just explain to us and tell us what inspired you to become a chiropractor? Yeah, I really believe it was a divine calling, because when I was a teenager I ended up having spinal surgery for scoliosis and it left me sick and in pain for years that the medical world didn't know how to help me. You know, every time I went to a doctor I kept asking why do I keep getting sick, why do I keep having pain? And they just kept writing me another prescription and it didn't help. Nothing helped. So I just thought I was going to have to live like that. And while I was in college, just trying to find myself because I was programmed to go to college to be successful, I was in there, not knowing what to do with my life, and someone told me to look into chiropractic as a profession. I didn't know what it was. I just read the pamphlet and it's part of the philosophy of chiropractic healing was acknowledging that the power that made the body heals the body.

Speaker 1:

And.

Speaker 2:

I thought how come no one has ever said that to me all this time? So I looked into it and it just sounded amazing and something told me to just go. I just went to chiropractic school. I didn't even get adjusted until I got there, but the rest is history. It completely changed my life.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, so how long have you been doing it?

Speaker 2:

Well, I graduated in 1997.

Speaker 1:

Oh, long time, long time we all want to know your age. So tell us what is the homeschooling process like?

Speaker 2:

the homeschooling process, like From homeschooling my son. Yes, you know it was something that in the chiropractic world everything is natural and I heard a lot of. I had other students that were there that were raised by chiropractors right, their parents were already chiropractors. So they went, they were in a natural world and they just didn't like our school system and they were homeschooled. I was like, oh my gosh, that sounds amazing because I hated school and you know.

Speaker 2:

And then when I got out I knew there was a lot of things that they didn't teach me about becoming financially free, just a lot of life skills, things like that, that were missing from our system. So I just knew I wanted something different for my son. So I just decided to figure it out as I went along and he'll be 18 in June and it really is not that complicated. You know you can kind of do anything that you want. People think you have to have all these things to grow up, but you know you don't. You know you can kind of learn what you want and I always wanted to teach him things that were practical for the world, number one being coming financially free.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so you homeschooled him from you know kindergarten on up.

Speaker 2:

I did and you know it was cool. I always gave him the choice because I said if you want to go to regular school, because he would see his friends from the neighborhood go to school, you can go. You know, I always just wanted that's the thing I think about. What truly is parenting, homeschooling, in my opinion, is to let the person know they have a voice, their opinion matters, their perspective matters, make them think for themselves, you know. So I always gave him choices and I said if you want to go to school, you can. And so he shadowed.

Speaker 2:

I remember in third grade he went to school just for the day to see how it was. And he came out and I love it. And I was like, oh my God, I didn't expect him to love it, because I didn't like being in there all day and I was a good student, honor roll A's, like I worked my butt off, I worried all the time. So he ended up going to school. Uh, for third grade he had an amazing experience and I but he wasn't up to par on reading like I wouldn't push him to be on certain levels when we would do our work, because I just thought let things come naturally, he doesn't have to follow what they consider normal. You know, I didn't want him to hate reading, so that was one thing.

Speaker 2:

Like he didn't know how to read and he was going into um third grade. So I thought for the teacher conference I'm going to hear it like I was waiting for. You know the reprimand that you're look, look what you're doing to your kid. Instead I got what are you doing with your son? Because we wish other students were like him. He loves to learn, he thinks has the bigger picture, he asks all these questions and the reading part's no big deal. We can catch him up to speed, no problem. I was like, oh, amazing. So it kind of gave me confirmation that, yeah, I think we're on the right track.

Speaker 1:

Okay, that's cool, that's cool. So do we have a major or anything that he's going off to school to do?

Speaker 2:

No, he's not in school now. He only went for like a year and a half. Then we went back to homeschool. He is learning trading right now on an online course, so that's what he's doing right now okay, that's cool.

Speaker 1:

So, um, can you tell us a little bit about your book? Uh, my journey to grace yeah.

Speaker 2:

So I always thought that maybe I would share my story because I've done a lot of things.

Speaker 2:

After learning to heal myself and becoming a chiropractor, I questioned a lot of the mainstream systems with money, with education, with relationships, just everything and I found a lot of answers to other things.

Speaker 2:

So I always I was figuring out business and doing my entrepreneurial adventures and I always thought maybe down the road I would write a book about my story. But four years ago, when we had lockdowns, I knew something wasn't right. I knew how health works and I knew it just didn't all add up what they were telling us and I was really upset with the fear that people were living in at the time. That wasn't doing them any good to live in that kind of fear and I thought, well, maybe this is the time to share my healing story, because I thought if people felt empowered about their health the way I do, it would help change things. So I just decided to write my story about healing. That's what it is. It's just my own personal healing story and finding grace. I had an awakening experience of really tapping into higher vibrations that I believe are here for us, but society keeps us in such a fear frequency, you know, but the healing frequency really is in the higher love, happiness, inspiration, vibration. And I, and I share that experience in my book.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you said something about you know what you give where the things that you went through with your personal health. It helped you and it gave you insight to help others. Can you explain that a little bit to us?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know, I think I became a really good chiropractor because of my own pain and struggle that I went through. I really believe I saw a difference in my perception and understanding and knowing versus maybe other colleagues or people who went to school with me. You know I saw we both got the same degree but what was our level of experience and skill and knowing right when we got out? And I really believe, because of all the struggle I went through with my back and my immune system, because I walked the walk, I had the confidence. You know, when someone came into me with pain, I wasn't, I didn't feel fear for them, like I understood what they were going through. I had more compassion and I had the confidence to tell them that you're going to get through this. You know that the pain is okay, you can walk through this. It's, it's part of the healing. So it I lost a lot of the fear that comes from dis-ease and all the health stuff because of my own journey.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay. So I see what you said now, that because you can be in touch with how somebody feels and the compassion that you have, it makes you even want to go even harder to help them, because you knew the things that you went through yourself. So I mean I guess it's just like you know education and things of that nature too. You have to really care you do Absolutely.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean I think everything. People should be in it for the right reasons. You know I always want to make a difference for people. I've always wanted to find a better way. It's my natural instinct. You know. If I know something, it's like how can you not share with somebody else that there's a better way?

Speaker 1:

can you not share with somebody else that there's a better way? Yeah, yeah, and like you say, because a lot of times when we figure out stuff and we get things of our own, we like to keep it to ourselves without sharing. So I appreciate that. So, on top of that, you have a mentorship program entitled Healthy Habits. Can you explain a little bit about that to us?

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So I think one of the ways that you really can take control of your health and your healing you know I can adjust you all day long, but it's really, I believe, the inner work that you need to do on yourself and on your life to take control of your health and your well-being. So I just help people create healthy habits with the products they use, the nutrition that they put in their body, and really get in touch with their mental stress level and their mindset and how they're thinking about what they're doing with their health, with their life, with different things, Because it's all interconnected. I really believe the stress level that you live in your life is really what dictates how you feel and the wellness that you're going to experience. So I just help people you know connect some dots in their own life to become more in tune, to become their own best doctor, to kind of play detective on what's causing the stress in their life and creating maybe the symptoms or things that they don't want in their body and change it to what they do want.

Speaker 1:

Okay. So, like in the program, you speak of things, certain things that you should eat, certain things that you should drink. Okay, so let me ask you a question because I'm an energy drinker person. I love Rippets me. Ask you a question because I'm an energy drinker person I love rippets. Should I take that out of my equation? What do you love, rippets?

Speaker 2:

the energy drink rippets okay, I never heard of that one. My my whole thing is that you really should be aware of how chemicalized is the product. You know. Are you drinking chemicals all day long? Are you just drinking things that are natural? And that's that's you? Your body is going to respond better to the natural thing. It's not that you have to do it all the time, but it should be more frequent than not, where you put more natural things in your body so do that go with also the food?

Speaker 1:

so should we be eating more organic? Your opinion, your opinion? Organic foods or is fried foods okay, or should we take that out of our diets?

Speaker 2:

I think you should detox until you get really in tune with what you want. If you feel good, if you're in perfect health I don't know how you're judging what your health is. You know, how are you judging what your health is? You feel good every day? If you don't, then it's one aspect is to look at what are you putting in your body, you know? Do I think you should be strict all the time? No, because I think that's just as harmful, because I think that causes just as much stress. You should enjoy what you're eating, but you also should be get to the place where you can feel your natural rhythm.

Speaker 2:

For instance, I know I feel like I'm guided moment to moment to what my body needs. Sometimes it's a heavier meal, sometimes I'm craving more vegetables, sometimes I'm craving more water or fluid. Do you know what I'm saying? Because I'm pretty detox. I don't feel like I'm. I don't have a lot of toxic buildup, so I'm pretty detoxed. I don't feel like I don't have a lot of toxic buildup, so I'm pretty clear and I'm in tune with my body's natural cravings. Well, I have dessert, yeah, but I don't overeat. I eat when I'm full. I mean, I eat till I'm full, like I stop. You know there's a lot of factors. It's not just what you're putting in, because I see people trying to cut things out and and then they go, even like they're. They're drinking diet drinks and I'm like they're full of chemicals.

Speaker 2:

They're not even healthy so I think people are very misguided on what is considered health. I like to bring people back to more of a natural way of doing things okay, so so I just my last question this.

Speaker 1:

So it's like being overweight sometimes. Does that cause a problem with your back, with back issues? Because I know I have back issues at times and it's been said that I, you know you go get on the scale and everything and say obese. And so I just want to know is that, is that part of, probably part of my problem, the lingering problem that I have? Because with back pain they come and go and so you go to the chiropractor, you get it, get it popped, get it cracked, go three, four times and then you feel it fine and then later on down the line that issue reoccurs itself. So could it be overweight at times that causes certain issues?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean, for some people it could be and others it may not be. More likely, yeah, if you have more weight on your body than is probably healthy for your structure, it's going to cause stress. But also there's going to be factors in your physical motion, how you move your body, the stress level that you feel, because you can store emotions in your back. I know low back sometimes when it goes out, it can be related to money issues, it can be related to relationship issues. So you know, you could take two people who are obese. They're both obese. One may have back pain, one may not. Why is it different for each person? It depends on also the obesity may be causing something, but there's also, I'm sure, emotional connections there from stressful situations that manifest as pain. That's why it comes and goes.

Speaker 1:

You know, that's one I never heard of before. I guess that's why we got the good doctor on the day. Back issues can actually be caused from stress about money issues or relationship issues. I guess I do know why my back hurts a lot.

Speaker 2:

That was a good one, I like that and that's why you see that a lot of times. That's why does it come and go? Why is sometimes it's worse than others. So that's why I have people journal pay attention to when you feel things, when you're symptomatic, when you're not, because you start connecting the dots in your life, your body's speaking to you for a reason. It could be that you're overweight, it could be you have too many toxins in your diet, it could be money, it could be relationships. So that's why you have to kind of pay attention to the whole picture of your life. It's hard to compartmentalize because everything affects everything.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 1:

That's one to grow on right there, so I'm going to put that one in my memory bank. So, speaking of that now, this is a subject that a lot of people we kind of miss and that you know we don't like to touch on. So tell us a little bit about your spiritual growth journey.

Speaker 2:

Well, I guess the more I got in tune with my body, when you get adjusted, for instance, we're working with energy. I mean, when I first got adjusted, it was very physical. You know, I just wanted to hear the bone crack. I just wanted to feel the adjustment. I wanted to be better right after I felt it. Even though that wasn't my experience, I still. I actually had more pain.

Speaker 2:

It was a process this whole thing, because the healing isn't usually a quick fix. It's usually a journey of untangling energetic patterns in the body. The more I worked on people, I realized we're all energy. So the more you get in tune with your body, the more sometimes you have to feel, and a lot of times we don't want to feel things. We're afraid of certain emotions, we're afraid of maybe stuck trauma from childhood stuff, things that we don't want to touch on. But actually if we let all that come up, it can release and your vibration is higher.

Speaker 2:

So you know, I would say what actually is doing the healing in the body, it's the life force. There's a life force running your body. All our organs are working right now as we sit here and talk. We're not consciously controlling. Can you imagine if we had to like make sure our heart was beating and our lungs were breathing as we're having this conversation. We couldn't do it, so and when we take that for granted. So it's like your body is always making itself new.

Speaker 2:

So it's really an energetic experience and the clearer you are, I believe your vibration goes into a higher frequency and I believe that's connected to we, get connected to our spirituality. You know who we are as a person, our source we are, we are a higher being. You know we're, we're a spiritual being having a human experience. So you start to feel more and the more stuff you clear, the more stress that you clear, the layers of stuff that are suppressed, or trauma whatever. When that clears, you just feel happier, lighter, right, more energized.

Speaker 2:

That, to me, is that's what happened to me. I just had my awakening. It was I had a spiritual experience and I realized we can have life from this higher place of really being blissed out. That's normal. I think that's why people drink, that's why people take drugs, because you feel a lift in your, in your spirit, right. But it's not natural because then you crash and a lot of times you get you're dependent on the drug or the alcohol. It creates a depression after, because really we have that natural state within us. So the clearer you are, you can really start living your life from those higher vibrations and life starts to get really good and you can start to create whatever you want in your life with your intention, with a clearer focus, with a clear intention, a new perspective. I really believe that is our natural state.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I agree. I totally agree with you, especially when you talk about the habits that people begin to take as far as drinking and drugs, because, at the end of the day, once you get done with appreciate, that too, is that being in touch with your spiritual side, your spiritual being, and know that it's something greater than we are. Because, as you say, you know, if it wasn't me and you wouldn't be able to be sitting here talking to one another, and we know that one day, that you know one day you won't be able to talk to somebody and it won't be because of your own will. So I agree with you on that note. So what was it that was eye opening to you, that first happened to you when you first opened up your practice?

Speaker 2:

I realized that no one had taught me anything about money or business. You know, I just opened. I was kind of ignorance on fire. You know, I just want to open up my practice because I wanted to practice on principle. I didn't want to put more fear into people that they had to come see me all the time. I didn't want to do insurance because I didn't like what they wanted. They wanted to dictate how I practiced. They wanted me to fix people. They wanted to turn me into a medical model.

Speaker 2:

It was. It was about wellness. I knew how I healed. It wasn't a quick fix. I wasn't trying I'm not trying to cure anybody or fix symptoms. So I really wanted to practice on principle. And so I just realized I'm like, oh, now I have to get people here in my practice and I'm like, now they're going to think I'm telling them to come to me because I have to make money, like that just didn't feel good, you know. And then I thought about well, how many people do I have to adjust to just pay the rent in my office or, you know, all my other life expenses? And I thought this is crazy. No wonder people do things for money that aren't right, even compromising their principles. So I started reading. I figured I had to start to teach myself about money, and I read Rich Dad, poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Are you familiar with that?

Speaker 1:

book. That's one of the most popular books out right now, you know you see, that everywhere the programs, the books and a lot of people say it changed their lives.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean, the way chiropractic changed the way I viewed health is the way that book I forever changed the way I looked at money and I realized that we have to not just be trading time for money.

Speaker 2:

We have to start to learn to build multiple streams of income and asset wealth and understand economics. And understand that Because for me it was important, because I realized money was kind of dictating all the choices I made in life and I often realized that's what was happening to people, that I was seeing what was one of the stress, most stressful things that they dealt with money. You know, they went to a job every day, whether they liked it or not, to pay their bills. It dictated how they took care of their health. It dictated how the choices of food they ate, whether they could afford organic or not, whether they could afford holistic treatments or not if insurance didn't pay. It dictated how much time they had to spend with their kids. It's important, but yet a lot of people never took the time to learn or to get themselves out of what he calls the rat race. But I realized that was part of a big part of our well-being.

Speaker 1:

That makes a lot of sense, especially because money it does. It dictates a lot of things that you do, like you say, sometimes you wake up and go to a job that you really don't want to go to, but because you got to pay the bill, because you got to put food on the table, it dictates what you have to do. I never forget, when I was younger, my father I never forget him telling me. He said, man, he said, go to school and get you an education so you can have a career. You know, like yourself, have a career that you wake up every day and enjoy going to do, instead of having to have a job that you still got to wake up every day and go to that you don't want to. So that always stuck with me when he told me that, when you said that it's kind of reminiscent.

Speaker 2:

I really think our spirit is to be happy If you can find something that you like to do. Even better yet, if you can create up multiple streams of income where you can do what you want every day because you're free to do it. That's, I think, true living. I really believe that because people don't want to connect the dots. But I'm like, if you're going to a job that you hate every day and you don't have a plan B to get out, guess what? Eventually your body's probably going to break down because you're not listening. You know like you're all that stress energy, all that suppressed energy of all that dread every day. Your body stores it, so eventually it can come out as disease in the body.

Speaker 1:

And you know, I agree with you too on that note, because, like, one thing that I always say is that we always talk about how we want to make a million dollars. That was, that was the big thing then, and we talk I want a million dollars, but what are you actually doing to try to get a million dollars? That's the big question. We all wish that we was wealthy and had all the money that we could have and, like you say, live accordingly to the way that we want to and this and that, but what are you doing to get to that point? If I'm not doing nothing to try to get that extra, that stream of income that I'm dreaming about, then it's just mute conversation.

Speaker 2:

And can you know the other part that I've learned and this is for my own journey of trying to get myself straight financially? What happens is the journey towards the million dollars is actually just as important or more important than having a million dollars, because you have to uncover all those limiting beliefs of lack, poverty, consciousness, all those things that you hold yourself back, that we were probably raised in the culture or your family or whatever. That is really dis-eased energy in the body. We are abundant beings but you have to. You know, somebody can just throw a million dollars in your lap, but if you haven't done the work in order to hold that million dollars do you know what I'm saying? To hold the energy space of that million dollars, it can cause just as much stress. So I believe the journey of creating the financial freedom is working to become financially free in the mind, you know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know, boy, I guess we probably go on this forever and ever, because I understand what you're saying on that, because a lot of times when things are given to you and you haven't worked for it, you don't understand the trials and tribulations of certain things and like, like, like you say, the journey, there's some things when you striving for that, for that pride, uh, for that chiropractic doctor, and then you're going to school. It's going to be some ups and downs, it's going to be some some trials that you go through some days that you want to give up, but it's that inner, like you said, that inner being, that inner, that inner energy that keeps you moving forward and it makes you appreciate things better when you go through the journey.

Speaker 2:

It's who you become in the journey.

Speaker 1:

It's everything Mm-hmm, and I believe that, and so let's get off of that, because we can stay on that one all day. So tell me, what do you recommend that a person start off from to start their healing journey?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think one of the easiest things you can do is become aware of what you want. So I think putting pen to paper is really important. I believe that is something very healing that happens for your brain when you actually put pen to paper. I know we're so technology focused today. We put stuff on our phone, but if you actually get pen and paper and write, the writing is stirs up a creative process also. It's very healing.

Speaker 2:

And just start asking yourself am I living my desired life, like? Is everything in my life the way I want it to be? And if it's not, what's? What would you change? Or what do you want your life to look? Like, like. And if that's too big for some people to answer, I think the only reason it may be too big for somebody to answer is because a lot of people don't believe that they can actually have what they want right. What they dream is their ideal life. They think it's too good to be true. But you have to acknowledge what you want because eventually, I believe what happens is you start getting signs to how to get there. Little pieces show up. You can write down inspiration If you don't know what you want your life to look like, yet you can start.

Speaker 2:

Another great place to start is just making a gratitude list. What are the blessings in your life to look like? Yet you can start. Another great place to start is just making a gratitude list. What are the blessings in your life now, things that you're grateful for each day? Start with a list of five.

Speaker 2:

I used to do like start with five things and my list grew to like 25 things a day and I realized it shifted my focus from looking at what was wrong with my life to what was right. And the more you start looking at what is right, the more you start attracting pieces into your life that make it more right. You know more opportunities, the best people, things show up that you need, information that you need shows up. The book, the podcast, the person, whatever the message you need will find you and you start getting answers. You start creating a picture and one thing leads to to another and that's really how you start creating your best life. So the journaling is everything. It's just writing down ideas, writing down gratitude, things that you appreciate, um, things that you think were remarkable. That happens in the day. They become more, more common.

Speaker 1:

That becomes your norm and I think that's how we build a desired life and, and I believe I believe that too, because we say with the spiritual being, I know somewhere it says that write the vision down plain so that they who see it you know. So you have to write that vision down, write that thing down. I remember I was told once before to start writing things down, as you said, like things that I may wish for and hoping for, that that wasn't going to come at that moment, but put it in my wallet, you know, and then once things start checking out, like wow, it was four years later but I got that car that I wanted, or I got, I never forget, um, me and my wife, we were staying in a, a town, a condo, and so I had wrote on the wall on, I wrote on the you know like little sticky notes or whatever. So I wrote on the sticky note, um, the vision and what we, when I was, was, you know, lord, open, expand, you know, expand our territory, and I think that it stayed on there for like seven, eight years and eventually he expanded our territory.

Speaker 1:

So it's, it's the things that you, you put out there in the atmosphere and these are the things that you striving for. And then, once it happens, like you say, it's like. These are the things that I'm grateful for, because I know that he would answer your prayer. It don't come when you may want it, because it's a journey and you have to a lot of things is a test of fortitude to see how far you will go, because if I, if I, can't be faithful over a little things, how can I be faithful over a lot? And so so I you know you need to become.

Speaker 2:

We don't always understand the end result yet, right, but it's who we need to become. We don't see the things holding us back. Otherwise, obviously, there would be no nothing to, there'd be no journey. I mean, that's why we're here in life. I really we're here to learn, to be create our heaven on earth. I really believe that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, I believe you too, and so my last question I'm gonna ask you on this. So what are the biggest obstacles? That we just talked about the beginning of your healing journey, so what are the biggest obstacles on starting your self-healing journey?

Speaker 2:

I think it's our fear, our belief system. What are our beliefs? Do we have more belief in something outside of us that's hurting us, or do we have faith in the healing power within the body? You know, I mean, we're tested. You're tested when you have any kind of health crisis disease. It's an opportunity for awakening Financial crisis, relationship crisis, disease. It's an opportunity for awakening financial crisis, relationship crisis, any kind of challenge that comes in our life. It really can be your biggest blessing. I mean, that's what I look at how my health journey was. It's my biggest blessing because I'm so free now health-wise. There's not anything that can scare me. But I went. I went through it, you know, I went through it and it was years. So anything that you're challenged by today, it's overcoming the fear, turning it into faith, turning it into something better, turning it into an awakening to become better, to become a better person, to become empowered. It that it comes down to all of that. That's what I believe. It comes down to your faith and your fears and your beliefs.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I agree with you on that. You said something where you said the relationships and when you go through sickness and health, that fear just creep in, and so you let that be your obstacle that you can't get past because of the fear. So I totally agree with you on that. So are there any projects that you're working on right now that we can look forward to in the near future?
