today’s podcast. May feel a little different to you. And what this podcast is today is a story of hope and transformation that’s going to blow your mind. And I am so excited about sharing my friend, Jennifer, Love with you because I remember it was, Just like a year and a half ago when this whole thing went down [00:01:00] and she was bucked off a horse and literally, I remember getting the information, I’m trying to think that night or the next morning that she’d been bucked off the horse, crushed her spine.
Doctors were saying she was never gonna walk again. She was in surgery and. We all, we, the community that she’s in with me is a, a female founder’s community. We all just leaned in, like, What? How can we support you? What do we need to do? And what was interesting about that community is no one was like, Oh no, poor you.
We were like, All right, you’re gonna be stronger than before. You’ve got this. How can we support you best? And everyone just leaned in and everyone leaned in with their expertise. and More importantly, Jennifer took this as the opportunity to, you know, really look at what, how did this happen for me and what can I do here?
And you’re gonna hear a story of someone who has so much tenacity and resilience [00:02:00] and took this and you’re gonna be blown away. At what has happened in 18 months because it’s, it’s like nothing you’ve ever heard before. I, I’m, it’s, it’s literally like a complete miracle. And these are things, the things that she did to get, there are things that we can all do, and that’s what’s most exciting about it.
So, I’m gonna tell you just a little bit about my friend Jennifer Love, and then I’m gonna let the story tell itself from her mouth. She’s the CEO of the Living Well Wealthy Institute, and she’s on a mission to help world leaders become emotionally and financially liberated by upgrading their human mastery.
She reveres. Nature is all about rituals. She’s an alchemist who makes lots of tinctures and natural perfumes. She also loves dark chocolate and a good cup of tea. I will tell you, she has she made us dark chocolate martinis that were out of this world and she makes the most beautiful perfume blends like she’s.
Quite special. And she lives in Santa Barbara, California with her sweetheart John, her fur baby Maggie, and an adored [00:03:00] garden of plants. And I am so excited to introduce the amazing, super special Jennifer, love to you. So I will be right back with her in this like super inspiring story.
Jennifer Love. I cannot wait to share your story. . Yeah.
Jennifer Love: Yeah. It’s, it’s quite, it’s quite, it’s, it’s quite the
JJ Virgin: story. All I have to tell you listening is if you’re out running or anything, like you might just wanna sit down and this is such a crazy story and I still remember, and I was just asking you the date before we started, cause I was like, it was like a year and a half ago and all of a sudden we get this, this text, I think it was in the WhatsApp group that you’d been in this horrible accent, got thrown off a horse.
And you were in surgery and we were like, What [00:04:00] are you talking about? So take us back to that day and then . , we will walk through the miracle upon miracle upon miracles that have happened since what you’ve made happen all along the way.
Jennifer Love: . . Yeah. It was Friday, May 7th, 2021. It was around 5:00 PM and I was bucked off the horse and the impact of that crushed my spine.
At the L two, L three L four range and ushered in Kata Aquinas syndrome, which is an interruption of the bladder and bow and sexual functioning and sensations. So I was rushed into emergency. And rushed in for emergency surgery the next morning at 11:30 AM and during that time I was told that I had a 10% chance of ever walking again.
And I was told that the best chance for walking was to have an emergency surgery and a spinal fusion [00:05:00] that was all rearranging, you know, my spinal nerves coming off the spinal cord. and that was all locked into place. JJ, as you know, with , two titanium rods and eight screws. And so I went, I was in the hospital for about five days and then went into rehab hospital for nine days.
And I was told during that time that if I did ever walk again, it was gonna take me a year to two years. To be able to get some level of leg
JJ Virgin: use. I’m really glad you’re not a good listener, .
Jennifer Love: And I just said, Just is not how that’s not going down for me guys, and I, and I said no. I said no. 13 days later I walked out of that rehab hospital off of narcotics and at a pain threshold of less than.
JJ Virgin: Which was an absolute miracle. And, And what did the, what did your doctor say at that point? Cause I mean, that already, you know, at the first part of like, there’s a 10% chance that you’ll ever walk again. I’m like, Okay, well that’s not [00:06:00] zero, you know? And, and so you already had proven that first one and then this whole thing of like, well maybe if you’re lucky in two, two years and then you’re up and out.
What did that first doctor say at that
Jennifer Love: point? So Dr. Derek Moore, incredible surgeon, one of the top, I’m certainly here in Santa Barbara. You know, he. He just kept encouraging me. He kept pushing me and saying, You can do this. You can do, you can do this. You know, I, I really took on the energy JJ, that my mother had.
It was like she cast a spell upon me when I was really young. She said, You can do whatever you put your mind to. And I really, I really stepped into that. Belief system. Now, Dr. Lee, who was the doctor in the rehab hospital, he’s like, I don’t know how you’re doing this. He would walk in because I was weaning myself off of the narcotics.
He’s like, I don’t know how you’re, Jennifer, I don’t know how you’re doing this. Took myself off of the ketamine. And then I took myself off of the Oxycontin. He’s like, How are you? How are you doing this? And I. I decided, I decided, and I’m [00:07:00] holding the belief and I’m choosing my reality, and I’m gathering the support system, and I’m setting clear intentions and I’m giving my, in my intentions, a hundred percent of my attention.
JJ Virgin: And did, did that make sense to him? No. , like I called, you didn’t share the science. Woo. Like, you know, it’s, But there’s so much science now to back all this up. . Yes. Yes. And then living proof like you. All right. So you told him all that and he kind of probably thought, Okay, well she’s crazy, but keep going.
Yeah.
Jennifer Love: Yeah. And you know, the, I remember the, the first day that I had been transferred from the hospital to the rehab hospital, it’s day six. The nurse is gonna like roll me in to have my first shower. And I can’t lift my arms up. I can’t put ’em out in front of me to hug anyone. I can barely stand and they’re asking me like what I wanna wear.
And I’m sitting there in that moment [00:08:00] and I’m like, I have a decision to make. I can either be like, You know, this totally sucks. I wish this didn’t happen. That’s one choice. And everyone in my life would’ve been like, Yeah, this totally sucks jennifer, we we’re so sorry. Or I could be like, you know, I always wondered what it’d be like to have like Lady maids like in Downton Abby that dress me,
JJ Virgin: let’s do that.
Jennifer Love: And I’m like, I choose option B. And so I just sat back and began to let myself receive. I, I let myself, you know, in the, what I mean by I gave myself 100% attention. I mean that like I allowed myself to. I allowed myself to feel all of it, all the sensations, all the pain, all the emotions.
I had some epic cries. You know, I, by a 100% attention, I mean, I listened. I listened to what those sensations and emotions were telling me. I listened to my, what my body was communicating. I listened to all that [00:09:00] fear, and then I said, Wait a minute. I just said, it’s happening for me, not to me. I took myself out of being in victim and put myself into the creation of what I wanted to live into, and that meant that I had to let go.
I had to let go of everything that was holding onto a belief of this is not possible. And, and absolutely 100% stand in the power of I’m creating and I’m taking 100% responsibility for the creation of this happening for me in my life. And that’s what I did. I gave it everything I had every day for four plus hours.
I would be going into rehab to do all the things right, and I set the intentions. I’m going to be walking out of this rehab hospital off of narcotics, at of pain threshold of four or less. And I did it and then I kept,
JJ Virgin: That’s so specific, setting the intention. That’s so important thing right to underline is that you can say, This is what I’m gonna do, this amount of time, this, [00:10:00] or something better.
This like very specific, and then you put yourself there. Right. And then I put
Jennifer Love: myself there, and then I, I went all in. And then, you know, I, I mean, you witnessed me do it. . You, you know, the, the whole group got to witness me. And I think that was a really important part of this too for me, jj, is that I gathered a group, I gathered actually a couple of groups of people to witness and hold.
And support me through it. And it was just even like claiming, it was the claiming of this is what I’m gonna do, this is what’s happening to me, this is my experience. And everyone just being like, Oh, holy shit. Go Jennifer,
JJ Virgin: do this. It was none of it. By the way, I’m thinking of our group specifically, cuz we were all like, There was no pity party whatsoever in that group.
And like when we were texting, it was always like, You got this, you can, this will make you better. You’re gonna push. There was no one was like, Oh gosh, you know, ? . , you know, you can totally just sit back now, you know. Nope. Uhuh, it was, and, and I remember looking [00:11:00] this going. This, this, and I’m watching you do it.
This is just gonna make you so much better in every aspect of your life. Yes. Like it just will. Because when you go through something like this, you realize that, that most of the things that people let get them tripped up, aren’t even gonna register on your screen. , right? Nope. They’re not. They’re a blip.
Like they don’t, like when you’re faced with, you’ll never walk again and you’re gonna lose all sexual function. You’re not gonna be able to go to the bathroom without a tube. You know? It’s, it’s a, it’s a big thing to look at and then just go, No, that’s not gonna be the way, That’s not what’s happening here.
It’s not what’s happening here, and I’m not gonna see myself there. Correct. And I’m gonna see myself in and, and the important thing is getting such a clear vision and such clear intentions, but then also , you know? Cause I see, I see this. I think one of the challenges with like a lot of this is that people have a very clear intention and then sit down.
Yes. .
Jennifer Love: Yes. Yeah. That’s off. That’s, [00:12:00] that’s the, Well, and that’s what I mean. It’s like, yeah, set that intention, but then, but then give it a hundred percent of your attention. You’ve gotta go all in on that intention. And that means, you know, I was in rehab four plus hours a day giving it all of my. Attention. I was, you know, flooding myself, feel all of it.
And what did, what was the what? I, I went into the emotional aspect of it too. What was this trying to communicate to me? What, what was I ignoring in my, in my life, in myself that was like, Hello. . , now that we have your attention, can we do some work on this, please? And I was like, Oh, yes, we can. And, and did and, and so really, really going all in.
On the intention with a hundred percent of my attention is exactly what you’re talking about. You’ve gotta activate those rituals. You’ve gotta step into them and really do them or it will not work.
JJ Virgin: So couple things that came up when you were saying that. Number one, I had a great mentor early on. First of all, my mom said the same [00:13:00] thing to me that your mom said.
I, She did. Listened to that going well. That’s really funny. That used to have me when I had to go do things I thought were too hard to do. She goes, You’re gonna be like the little engine that could, I think I can. I know I can. I think I can. I was like, Oh mom. , but I had another mentor who would always ask this question, and I’m like, It’s such a great, provocative question.
And, and it is the what are you pretending not to know? Mm. That once you kind of looked at this and went, Okay, this is happening for me, not to me, and then what, what am I missing? What did I need to see that this is allowing me to see? And was there some big aha that you got out of all of this that you’ve taken forward a hundred
Jennifer Love: freaking.
Percent , that I am a human being, not a human doing. And, and that the power that I have to create the life that I. Wanna step into is absolutely in my responsibility and control. And I knew that [00:14:00] I was living that ish, jj, you know, I, I was living atish and practicing ITish and, and I fully stepped into the ownership of my life and in all of the ways, you know, I had, I had, you know, I know you have your own story, I have my own, you know, growing up childhood stories and I had to do some shedding of what I called the three-headed drama lama.
That I was still, still kind of on the stage playing out in my life in some ways. And so through this, through this initiation, I call. That three had of drama llama had to retire the show and and, and pick up creating the life that I actually really wanna be living what’s true for me. And get rid of the bullshit.
Get rid of the bullshit.
JJ Virgin: So in order to heal, like, walk me through the things that you did. I know. I was like, Here, take these things , you know, but . , like, walk me through. , what it looked like to come back from, from that and then [00:15:00] where you are now in terms of, Cuz you mentioned rituals, like how has this impacted how you live your life now?
So let’s go back to what did you do to heal and then what is carried into like how you now are?
Jennifer Love: Well, first I decided, so there’s a decision that we have to. I decided that this was gonna happen and I rooted myself deeply in the belief that I can do anything I put my mind to. And thanks mom for in installing that.
And then I gathered, I gathered a circle of people to witness, hold and support me, and then I set the intention. And I went and gave those intentions a hundred percent of my intentions. But what that really meant is I felt I had to feel, I had to go feel all of it. I had to welcome the pain rather than resist it.
It’s so easy in our life whether whatever aspect it is in ourself, whether it’s pain, you know, emotional or physical pain, like to wanna like put up a resistance to put up a [00:16:00] wall to it, and I’m like, I welcome it all in. I welcome it all here and, and through that it was amazing because I would go, welcome the pain in my body.
I would go meet it, literally go to the spot in my spine where I was like literally radiating that sensation of pain. And I would welcome it. And to welcome it. I had to relax it to relax it. It would just slide. It literally would slide. It moved and then it, Guess what? JJ was no longer pain and I would, I would practice that hundreds of times and I’d pass out.
Cause I would be exhausted after. So there’s lots of visualizing. And then I was letting go of it. I was putting down all the things that, all the stories, all the things. That I had held onto that I was afraid of for so long. You know, I had a bunch of people in my life, including my brother, who’s attorney, gone judge.
He was like, Oh, you need to go Sue. You need to go sue these people, you know? And I’m like, Sue a horse. What do you tell? Thank you. Thank you for your, thank you for your, you know, lovely litigious intention. [00:17:00] I’m not taking that on. And, and that was really it. It was like I’m listening to everyone. The doctors, the rehab folks, you know the people in my life.
And I’m like, Yes, thank you. And that’s going right over me. Like of being a witness to other people’s limitations and not taking that on for myself. And taking full 100% responsibility that this is my work to do. I will do it. It’s not anyone else’s, but I can be held and, and contained in it. This is happening for me.
So I went digging for. Like the gold every day. I was digging for the gold of like, how is this a gift for me? What is this doing for me? Jj, there’s a whole documentary coming from this of a whole restorative justice process, a self justice process, like what I’ve done for myself, but also the ripple effect of what this is doing.
Now I’m in conversation with the ranch and the owners. Now I’m in conversation with the rehab system for how we’re putting limitations on people. Oh my gosh, during, gosh, this rehab system and that we don’t need to do that. Right.
JJ Virgin: And how that we got yelled at during the [00:18:00] rehab. So when my son was in the second hospital, well the first hospital, as you know, I just was sneaking everything in and doing stuff.
And they were like, What are you doing? And you know, I, I brought in like popsicles so he could start to taste. Ball so he could say all sorts of stuff to get him waking up. But at the second hospital, I, I, they had a gym there and I was like, you know, in between, I would pull him out into that gym and I had him doing pushups and then they’re like, You cannot do this.
And I’m like, But he needs to be challenged. Yes. Like he needs, You’re sitting here telling him all the things he can’t do. Yes, that’s right. Let’s, let’s, let’s push him. Stop it. He needs to be pushed. Exactly. . Yeah. Like we’re never better than We’re more challenged. Come on. Exactly. Exactly, exactly. They told us he would never, like, don’t put him in the pool.
So we took him out and took him to an Olympic size pool and put him in the pool. There he is swimming across the pool and we’re like taking videos, going see, you know? Yeah. So, you know, I had a great mentor who was like, the [00:19:00] only limitations are the limitations in your mind. And I think that you know, I called Grant walking Hope.
you have to have hope and you, you just, and you just need the 1%. You know, you don’t, They gave you 10%, you just needed one. As long as it wasn’t zero. Right. You just needed some percentage that you could do it, that you could grab onto that. And then yes. The bigger thing that you really talk about is like then surrounding yourself with people who see that way too.
Because as you probably noticed, there are a lot of people who have so much fear that you’ll fail. Yeah. That they don’t wanna support it. And I think that’s where the medical system. They have to give you, prepare you for the worst so that they don’t get sued. That’s the only reason I can think of that they’ve removed the hope, and
Jennifer Love: this is what I’m, This is what I’m talking about, jj.
This is the restorative justice piece that I’m stepping into with it because. If we’re coming from that kind of a framework with so many people that need support and belief system where they can step into and out of limitation, [00:20:00] we can’t be holding onto an old framework of, I’m afraid of being sued. And so they’re my brother’s a judge, right?
So we’re having conversations about this.
JJ Virgin: I, I’d love to be a fly in the wall in those conversations. Yeah.
Jennifer Love: And, and so and so. You know, this is, this is for me as a money therapist, where it gets into interesting conversation about how we’re in a relationship with money. This is a whole nother conversation outside of today, but you know, it, it’s, it, we have to come from a different framework inside the system, and I think I can do something to bring and shed some light on that.
And so that’s what I’m up to right now with this.
JJ Virgin: All right, so back up. We’re gonna actually get into some brass tacks. Because the important thing, and I, and as you’re listening and if you’ve heard my story with Grant, you know, it all starts, everything’s created twice. You’ve heard Mary Morrisey talk about this first in your mind’s eye and then in, in, in, you know, in the 3D world.
And you’ve got to [00:21:00] start with that belief. You know, that belief that this would be the best thing that ever happened to you. The belief that you can be 110%, you know those. And I know when you and I were pinging, I’m like, This is gonna be great. You know, it’s like, you’re gonna be amazing. You’re gonna hike up the hill with me.
I know it. And so the mindset thing, clearly, like you have it in spades, like you’ve got that piece, but then you did a lot of, of stuff through rehab. But what else did you do? Cause I know you were doing nutrition stuff. What else? Like, tell me, walk us through all the different things you did. Cuz people wanna know, They’re like, What’d you take, what’d you eat?
Jennifer Love: Yeah. I was waking up every morning in that rehab bed and I was, I was visualizing, so I was taking what I like. I would imagine a whole white light, like a laser, like in like Star Wars. Like I had my own you know, little Star Wars thing, and I was like literally taking it and I was sewing up every little thread of my spine and so I was visualizing this white light was literally sewing up my spine.
So I was meditating, I was visualizing, I was breathing. Lots and lots of ritual supplements. You were super generous [00:22:00] and sent me a ton of stuff that even the doctors and they were like, We’re not supposed to have this stuff. I’m like, I’m taking it . I’m taking it. And he’s like, Well, he was like, Hide it.
And I was like, Fine. I was journaling, you know, I was having conversations, I was documenting my progress. I was setting an intention, you know, in, while in the rehab, I, we, we all knew what I was doing. I was gonna walk out and I walked out. You know, with the rollator, and then I set another intention. It was like, okay, by the end of June I’m gonna be able to do a 90 minute nature walk.
Okay, By the end of August I’m gonna be able to dance. Okay. By the end of October I’m going hiking with you and some of our other gal pals . Right?
JJ Virgin: That wasn’t like, Hi, by the way, this was. Hiking. This is, I’m talking uphill. This was not like we’re going for a walk. Oh, moly. Moly.
Jennifer Love: Like kind of walk uphill.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it took me a little longer than everyone else, but I did it. And then I was flying on a trapeze, you know, the week before Thanksgiving. And so I just kept setting all of these intentions and living into them and I was allowing myself to also be [00:23:00] witnessed in it. And I think that’s a really big key in it, is being the wi with the witnessing of it, at least for me.
But all the while I was also deeply listening, so I would practice of listening. My morning ritual had had gone from one hour a day. It’s now four hours a day, jj. I’m up at four, 4, 4 30 to 5:00 AM and yeah, I’m in Ritual for four hours a day now, and I take it really serious.
JJ Virgin: So what do you do? Walk us through that four hours.
Jennifer Love: Well, it’s a little bit different every day. You know, depending upon what I need. I’m doing a self empathy practice. I’m setting my energy fields. I’m meditating, I’m journaling, I’m doing my gratitudes, you know, I’m doing my breathing. I’m doing lots of journaling. I’m any energy leaks. I’m searching for any, any energy leak, and then I clear them.
I do whatever I need to do to clear those energy leaks. Maybe it’s a clearing letter of some sort. Maybe it’s a conversation that needs to happen. And I’m also ac I’m also getting myself into a state of. And so how, how can I get into, you know, energy and play? One of the things I love to do, and this comes from me since I was a [00:24:00] little girl, I love to make sounds and, and like accents.
And so I’ll get on and have a good morning conversation with my sweetheart and we’ll just play and I’ll make making all these weird like, you know, little country bumpkin or like ghetto valley girl or, you know, whatever it is, and I’m getting into a play mode. So, so it’s lots of things. Sometimes maybe I’m having a, a challenging time accessing.
What’s happening for me? So I’ll go into a self empathy practice, self empathy, like, okay, what’s the situation? What are, what are the sensations in my body? What are those? What’s the emotions that are going along with those sensations? And what are they communicating to me? What are the thought pro? What’s my thought process?
And what are the needs that I have underneath that? And what can I do right now in this moment to either fulfill those needs for myself or make a request of someone else to help me get those needs met? Not. Requests, . So those are the kinds of things that I’m doing in my morning ritual. Now I’m also going to bed and I have ritual.
You know, some of that includes reading myths, you know, doing more meditation and breath [00:25:00] work, but also asking. Literally asking a question. Maybe I wanna know something. Maybe I’m trying to process through something. And so I invite my, my subconscious, my dream world to do the work for me. My mom also used to say, in addition to, you can do whatever you put your mind to, and that I came out running and I never met a stranger.
She also said, she also said that I used to work on all my problems out in my. And so, so now I literally take questions into my sleep state, into that sleep realm, and I’ll ask a sim a simple question and I’ll, I’ll invite the universe to help me work it out so that when I wake up in that liminal state in the morning, which is my favorite time, that’s when all the downloads happen.
I receive all the information and intelligence that I need with these. That’s what I do.
JJ Virgin: So a couple weeks ago, God, it wasn’t even a couple weeks ago, wasn’t it last week? Was it last week? Two weeks ago, maybe you posted something in our group . , which [00:26:00] I wonder what the percentage of people this ever even happens to are.
Is it like 0.1? So tell us what the surgery you just went through. Yeah. Which I call, I was, I said at first, you’re a bionic woman. I go No, you’re an, an un
Jennifer Love: bionic woman. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, I, Dr. Moore is like, you’re in blocking medical anomaly. So, you know, I had the two titanium rod eight spurs put in.
My spine in May of 2021 and the healing process has gone so fast and so well that, and Dr. Moore is awesome. Serious props to this man for, for not only being educated and doing his work on himself, but for also really listening to me and trusting me as his patients in this process. And, and I give him, I give him a serious vow for that.
So we’ve been in communication this whole last year and I said, I said, Early spring, Dr. Moore, my body is telling me that this, this, this medal is ready to come out. And [00:27:00] he’s like, All right. So, you know, we went in and. We took a look, did a few CT scans. We were like, we, he is like, we need to wait a couple more months.
I was like, Okay. Came back. He’s like, Yeah, what are he looking
JJ Virgin: for? He is looking
Jennifer Love: for the fusion to be set enough. That taking out the equipment, my spine would not collapse
JJ Virgin: cause I’ve never heard of this happening ever. Like I never heard of someone getting un fused. Yeah, you know usually when you get fused, it starts a whole process of bad because now you destabilize, you know, the joints above and below the fusion, and then you tend to blow those out and it just becomes like, you know, a, a mess.
So I’d never heard this before. So, Yeah,
Jennifer Love: well, his assistant who I also became close to during this, this whole last year, he said, Jennifer, I’ve never seen Dr. Derek Moore do this removal surgery in the five years that I’ve been working for him. [00:28:00] And I was like, Oh, okay. Well, you know, I’m not gonna take on any fear of that.
But cool. , you know, that’s like, I get, this is a rare situation of what we’re doing here and you know, Derek and I, we made a, we made a, we made a pact, you know, he was like, Listen, I’m gonna pull this stuff. And, you know, I’m gonna keep you for several hours and we’re gonna see how it, how it all just starts to settle.
And if I, if there’s any movement, he, he took me downstairs to do a bunch of x-rays and he is like, if I see any movement, I’m gonna have to go back in and put a couple screws. And I was like, deal. So we did, That’s what we did. And you know what? Don’t need the screws.
JJ Virgin: I’m good to go. I’m good to go. He did the surgery and he said if there’s any movement.
But you were under at that time, right? Or not? Like, Well, I
Jennifer Love: went under during the surgery, but they kept me, I didn’t stay overnight for, you know, post the second surgery. But he kept me for several hours in the hospital post-surgery. So it was about a three and a half hour for sur four hour surgery. The second time, the first one was like almost nine hours.[00:29:00]
The second one was like three and a half, four hours. And so he kept me and, you know, waited until I, you know, came back from, from postop and, and then a few hours later took me down for the x-rays to see if things were moving or not. They weren’t, we were good together,
JJ Virgin: but then he put me in a back brace…Going down to the X-rays.
Yeah. What was going through your mind? Well,
Jennifer Love: You know, I did a lot even going into the surgery, jj, cuz I, I invited in a healing circle that, that morning. And I wrote out some intentions that the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and one of the nurses, like, read out loud. So they each took a turn and like read these affirmations and
JJ Virgin: I made a playlist.
I’m, I’m so, I’m so Thrilled that this group did this. Oh
Jennifer Love: yeah, they did. They were all in, They were absolutely all in. I, I made a four hour playlist. Look, get this. I made a four hour playlist for, for the team. They’re listening to it in the af after Dr. Moore, you know, after post-op. And Dr. Moore comes into my [00:30:00] room while before he’s rolling me down to, you know, do the x-rays.
He comes in, he sneaks in, everyone’s gone. And he is like, I know you’re gonna get. He’s like in the middle of the surgery, I’m listening to your playlist. All of a sudden I have this memory of my best friend who died and he’s like, I start grieving. My best friend. And so he is like, so I switched over to my best friend’s music and I just let myself grieve as I’m doing the surgery and I’m like, Holy shit, that’s amazing.
Like, so I’m so happy for you
JJ Virgin: Wow. Well, I have been really excited about, like, you know, this, this past year, as you know, with Grant. And for those of you who don’t know, I have a son who at 16 was told that he was going to, that we had to let him die because he’d been a victim of a hit and run and literally left for dead in the street.
And we. Did not listen. The doctor told us there was a [00:31:00] 0.0125% chance and we’re like, not zero . So it’s been quite a healing journey back, but it has started of course, with just that mindset of, you know, this is gonna be the best thing that happened to you and for all of us, you know, for you and us. And you’re gonna be 110%.
And what do we need to do? You know, . And now once you’ve made that decision, what actions do you need to take? And what’s been really interesting is starting to do a lot of the Dr. Joe DiSpenza work and really seeing how much of this is in our hands and that, you know, for the medical profession and those of you listening in the medical profession, you have your protocols.
You know, the things you do think about if the patient is doing their work. Too, like, you know, perfect proof of quantum healing that happens when Exactly. Seeing themselves there. Yes. And then the doctor’s doing their piece and all of a sudden you’re like, What the heck just happened here?
And you hear it all the time, you know, where it’s like, Okay, well just [00:32:00] keep doing what you’re doing, . You know, it’s like, well, you know, my, my dream is that what will start to happen is that doctors will guide their patients into this piece of it. Because if the, if the patient can see themselves Healed and they see where they’re gonna be, and then the doctor’s giving them what they need to do on their end.
It’s like, you know, it becomes like, It becomes an exponential effect. So that’s my dream You, that’s my dream example of it. Because yes, you’re exactly what happens when you do this. Right. And That’s right. You know, the fact that you had a doctor crew around that, that went all in with you just is so cool.
It’s so cool. Yeah. Yeah. So it’s fantastic. And that’s, you know, that’s really my wish for everybody listening cuz I think yes. The last couple years we’ve just lost hope and. Without hope we got nothing. Nothing. And, you know, it’s, it’s like you just, but if you look around, there’s miracles everywhere.
There just are. Yes. And the thing, when [00:33:00] you start to look at all this stuff, you realize how much of that can come from within. So that’s, I love your story so much and I love you and it just makes me so thrilled. Like, just, just to see how you’ve taken this and, and what I’m really excited about is where you’re gonna go with.
Hmm. Cause we all know this happened for a big reason and a big purpose. Yeah.
