Thanks for tuning into this episode of The Daily Helping podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Richard. And our guest today is a rock star, literally a rock star. Her name is Michelle Blood.

This is going to be awesome. 

 

Michelle, welcome to The Daily Helping. It is fantastic to have you with us today. 

 

Michele Blood: 

Thank you, Dr. Richard. Lovely to be here. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

I'm excited. So I want to just jump right in, because there's so many things we can talk about. We talked a little bit before. We both kind of had this kinship of shared near death car accidents. So I want you to take us through that journey. It certainly -- mine certainly changed my life. I know yours changed yours as well. So I'd love for you to share with the audience what happened and then take us through the transformation that came next. 

 

Michele Blood: 

Well, I had worked as a professional singer since the age of five. I was on TV singing on a kid's program since the age of five. And after many, many years of being in a lot of -- getting a lot of different bands together, and I finally got a brilliant, lineup and we were together for years and we got great record label, did rock videos and toured at one stage for seven years nonstop, and worked with touring with the Pretenders and all these great bands from America, Georgia Satellites. And we had our own big events, rock concerts as well. And we were doing a gig in Brisbane and Brisbane is a long way from Sydney. We had to go back to Sydney and do a gig there. 

 

And someone always drove with the truck driver because in those days we didn't have Google. You couldn't check out reviews or anything. So we wanted to make sure all our expensive, huge equipment, speakers and everything got there. 

 

So this time, it was my turn. It shouldn't have been my turn because I'm the singer and I really needed to rest my voice. But anyway, it was my turn. I got the short straw, and he got all the way from -- we just finished a gig, we had to get the truck put -- and he fell asleep just as we reached Sydney at the wheel. 

 

And as a passenger, all the instruments and everything went into me. It just -- there's like a truck, -- the way this particular truck was, it didn't have the barrier that a normal big truck has. I don't know why. So, but anyway, went into me. So the injuries were extensive. I mean, unbelievable amount of broken bones and shattered bones in all my organs. 

 

And it's amazing, I survived it. And it's just so fascinating that that took me on a whole new trajectory to be doing what I do now. And I still write songs and sing and all that sort of thing. But now, instead of writing about -- one of my songs was called Mere Dust Without You, Baby. Instead of writing any sort of negative stuff, everything I do now is positive because music has an amazing effect on people's psychic. As you would know, psyche, I mean, being a psychiatrist yourself, a psychologist. So that's the beginning of my journey was being in that truck accident.

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

And I don't want to make light of it, crushed by musical instruments is pretty unusual. So talk to us about the recovery, right? You could -- like, how bad were you? Like, were you -- we're on the edge there for where it could have gone either way for a little bit. Like, talk to us about what that looked like. 

 

Michele Blood: 

Many, many times because long operations, one of them was nearly 19 hours. Thank God, those doctors, how did they do it? Being in the operating theater for that long and then having to be in traction to get ready for the next operation and then the next operation. So it was horrific. And I would just pass out every few minutes from the pain. So people say, well, you’re depressed. And I cannot remember being depressed. All I can remember when you're in that much physical pain, as you will relate to, you don't actually feel anything except the pain and want that to go away.

 

But what happened to me was after all the operations, and I'd been in the hospital for a few months by this stage, I was then able to actually feel depressed, but I couldn't move. So people were putting on audio books from a cassette. And kids listening, if you don't know what that is, Google it.

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

Cassettes are a real thing for sure. So what kind of things that they were we were listening to? What were the audio? 

 

Michele Blood: 

they were giving me books from, I don't know. Some of them were I would just say turn it off, turn it off, turn it off because it wasn't anything I related to, motivational stuff and some sort of positive thinking people who I'd never heard of, until somebody put on Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. 

 

Now, I don't know why they thought that would be good. My aunt, my auntie Jan actually is a psychologist, psychiatrist. She thought it would be good for me to listen to this type of transformational authors. And but I didn't want to, and I didn't want to be rude. So I'd always wait till she left and I'd say to a nurse, turn it off. But this one, I didn't care about the book Thinking Grow Rich because it's about male entrepreneurs in America in the 1920s. Why would I care about them being a young female Australian rock singer? 

 

But the one chapter, Dr. Richard that got to me was when he said he would go into his little infant son's room every night. He was born completely deaf and do this auto suggestion, these affirmations, and he would speak to him as the little boy was sleeping. And he would say, you hear perfectly, you grow up to be a masterful, beautiful person and wealthy and healthy. And in three and a half years, the little boy had 30 percent of his hearing. 

 

He went on to become a multimillionaire in the hearing aid industry, Napoleon Hill's son. But when you hear something you've never heard before and you just know in the marrow of your bones that what you've just heard is true, you just know. So I just knew that what he just said was true. And so I was going to create my own affirmations and I did. I am healed. I know I am. I love myself. I am my friend. I said it over and over and over again, couldn't write it because I still couldn't move. 

 

But it didn't work because my doubting mind, and you know that this is true and they've proven it now, your short-term memory, your doubting mind, if your doubting mind is seeing and feeling the opposite of what you're saying, it will just be spat out. It won't go into the treasury of your subconscious mind. And so I just stopped doing it. But then a month later, I had an epiphany. Hey, you've even written jingles for advertising agencies. You can't get a song out of your head. So I had people go out and look for affirmation music but there wasn't any such thing, just people speaking affirmations. Back in the eighties, this was. 

 

And so I got my little cassette, my blank cassette, and I asked someone to put, press on record. And I said, look, I'm just going to sing it. I am healed, I know I am, I love myself, I am my friend. I added a few more affirmation lyrics and I would sing it over and over again. And that was the beginning. I listened to that nonstop and my attitude changed. I started feeling more hopeful. I started realizing, look, even if I can't walk again, properly, I can still sing. I can still write songs. Maybe as I get older, I can write and produce songs for younger kids. And yeah, that's how it started. Amazing. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

So I love this for so many reasons because I've read Think and Grow Rich. I've read Napoleon Hill, but I don't remember that story, which is interesting. And it's funny what resonates with one person that they need to hear a message at a particular point in time in their life. And that was the thing that clicked for you.

 

So really quickly, because I don't want to spend the whole time talking about the hospital stuff. But once you started listening to that repeatedly and singing those messages, or rather hearing yourself seeing those messages on tape, how quickly did your physical healing accelerate? 

 

Michele Blood: 

Well, it accelerated much faster because I was determined. I had -- I sort of looked back at my life and realized I'd used my willpower to get the drummer I wanted, to get the guitarist, to manage the band, to get the record label, all the things I'd done through sheer determination. That's going to happen. I was always like that. This is going to happen for me. And I always managed to do whatever I said I would set out to do. 

 

So I knew I'd been doing it at an unconscious level, my entire life, never saying I can't do something, always saying I can, I can, which is one of my favorite songs I've written called You Can Do It. But anyway, after I got out of the hospital, so we'll miss all that bit. I was told to do all this therapy and all this stuff, and I just went, nope, I don't need it. I'm not going to -- I was offered an insurance, pretty big insurance claim that -- but I had to go to doctors and for them to really think I was really bad and I said, no, I'd rather not have the money. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to go to doctors to get a lot of money say I'm really bad and I've got a bad lymph, or whatever it was. 

 

So, because of my healing, not promoters to start with, but the media started interviewing me about my miraculous healing. And at this time, I was in the studio, just in a little eight track studio, not like our normal 48 track studios that the band were in, writing all these affirmations songs with different themes about being a magnet to money, being successful, healed, being I am love, all those different things. 

 

And so then promoters started coming and they said, we want you to sing in between, get it, Michelle, listen to this, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Bob Proctor. And I went, I don't know who they are. So I started touring with them. Just to get extra money, I just thought it would be fun. And they got me to make CDs of my affirmation music, which just kept selling out. And I had no intention originally, Dr. Richard of selling because it's just an eight track little pop songs.

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

I'm putting a timetable to this now because we've gone from cassettes to CDs now. So we're in the nineties now, right? 

 

Michele Blood: 

Yeah. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

Okay. 

 

Michele Blood: 

No, I sold cassettes. It wasn't CDs, but we turned them into CDs in 1990. Yeah. But they were actually cassettes. Yeah. I just forgot for a minute. But anyway, so then when I worked with Bob Proctor, him and his wife in Sydney, said he didn't want me to be there. And they said, no, she was really great with the crowd and people know who she is. And he said, okay, because you're paying me to do it, I guess I'll have to. And he said to me, after the first half in the green room, he said I did not want you singing at my event. And I went good on you, mate. Nice to meet you too, Bob. And he said, but I love it. I want you to work with me all over the world. 

 

And I want -- and I did for seven years straight. I ran his business from Asia. I got his book to be a bestseller. Um, so many things that we create books and events. And I still was doing rock songs but positive this time and without my band anymore because I was living in Asia. And I ended up working all over the world and my biggest audience was 50,000 people. So I was very successful. 

 

But I went off that success train to the next section of my story to millions upon millions of people have been buying my stuff by then. It was insane. And then I just decided I want to find this heart glow that I have. I want to find out what it is, because as I was doing it, having all this success and singing and speaking to people from big gigs all over, big seminars and gigs, my oscillation, my frequency was going so fast that I was in this vibratory state all the time of high energy and love for everyone. And it was just incredible. 

 

And Bob said to me one day, he said -- I said, I've got to do something else. I've got this heart glow, and I've got to find out what it is. And he said, you need to find an enlightened teacher. That's what you need to do. You want to find God within yourself. He said, I had an enlightened teacher for three years and then he left the body. But he said -- and I said, do you know any? He said, no. He said, if I knew any, he said, I'd be going to them myself. He said, but they're very hard to find. And so I searched for 14 years and finally found an American Enlightened teacher. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

Imagine that. Imagine that. 

 

Michele Blood: 

Yeah. And because I've been going -- I've went to Japan 23 times looking whenever I heard word on the street that this Zen guy is, I went everywhere looking. And maybe a couple of them were, but they didn't speak English. And the Asian men just say, oh, it looks like you do have a lot of love for God, but you're a woman, so sorry. You won't be able to study for men, really enlightenment. 

 

So I started with this woman for 10 years. I went off the grid. I went off all social media. And it was just incredible, absolutely incredible for all those years. And until I finally came awake in myself, I'd meditate seven, eight hours a day, travel to wherever she said we were going to go next. It was just -- it's the most incredible journey. 

 

And then when she stopped teaching, I took over and started teaching. And now, I've been teaching for 15 years. And I have students from all over the world, teaching them meditation practice, visualization, got apps. We've got all the most modern equipment and tools for everybody to learn anything that they would like to learn. And so my journey has been absolutely ridiculously amazing. 

 

But one thing that I did do before I met her, I'd moved to America. And I wanted to move to America. Bob said, why? No one knows you there. And I'm in Canada. I said, I want to start from scratch. I want to prove to myself, I want to do it, not for ego, not for money, not for anything else, because I was doing pretty well. I want to do it just to prove to myself that I can start from scratch and handle people not knowing who I am. 

 

And that's what I did, I travelled, I did the Learning Annex, I did little gigs here and there at different metaphysical churches. And Michael Beckwith, I got to work with him. And then Jack Canfield, worked with him. And Ogmandino, I worked with him. I met all these amazing people through Bob though. Bob introduced me to all these people, not Michael Beckwith. I did that on my own. 

 

But it was just incredible. It was like the eternal light, whatever you choose to call God or your highest self. I was just in that oscillation where I would just attract the most amazing people and work with them, do gigs with them at their events and everything. And that's how it all happened. It's just incredible because I know you know what I'm talking about, because when you feel that heart glow, you want to search for what's already in here and you don't realize that. And meeting someone who actually knew God, who was awake was the most incredible blessing of my life. Her name is Kundalini. I always say, thank you God for Kundalini. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

It's a remarkable story. And one of the things I was thinking about as you were telling me all the people you worked with is most people don't get to pick the brains of people like that. We're privileged to be able to do so. But what are some of the things -- let me ask that differently, when comparing all of these people that you've been on stage with and have spent time with, what are some of the common threads that you see among them that they all do, that they all practice, that they all believe in, which has helped them achieve success across the board in their lives?

 

Michele Blood: 

I think they're all different. Like when I work in a rock band, we've all got one main goal, have number one hits, get huge audiences, just entertain the best we can, be the best we can. And I guess with all these different people I work with, I always, I still prefer entertainers to motivational speakers, because we all understand each other no matter what country I go to. 

 

And like Chrissy Hines from The Pretenders, I just adored her, and we would talk for hours about the different things we've been through and done. I love entertainers because we have to, especially female entertainers, we have to go through so much crap to put up with in the male entertainment industry to become successful and to do what you do when you manage your own band. It's incredible. They're totally different types of people. 

 

I never really had any big synergy. The only two people I had synergy with, as far as motivational speakers, I loved all of them. I loved all of them, but I think my favorites were definitely Bob Proctor because we worked together, but also Stuart Wilde. He's left the body now, but he’s a British guy and he's so irreverent and so funny. And I was friends with him until he died a few years ago. He was one of my favorites as well. Because I like people that were irreverent and there's some people on stage, I've noticed over the years with the people I've met aren't congruent with who they are on stage in real life. 

 

So I didn't get along that better. I thought guys in rock bands are much more gentleman than some of the motivational blokes. So you would think I would just pick their brains and blow up. Jack Canfield, I do adore Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hanson's a really nice bloke too. The biggest ones are the nicest ones. That's what I've noticed. I'm sorry if that disappoints you. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

No, it doesn't. And Jack and Mark Victor Hanson, these are guys that I've had on my show as well. And I just enjoyed those conversations so much because they were down to earth. There are some names, very well-known people that I have opted not to have on the show because they have a reputation for being demeaning and really not caring about helping people unless you buy thousands of dollars’ worth of their stuff, right?

 

Michele Blood: 

I know. And I just say to people, it's like, if you're thinking about selling your car and mortgaging your house to go to an event, you don't want that person to teach you, trust me, because I don't care about you. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

Let's shift gears a little bit because now you're, as you said, you're helping people all over the world and really you found your sweet spot. So somebody is listening to this today. Life's not going the way they want. Their job isn't working out. Their finances aren't where they are. Maybe they're wanting to be in a relationship, or the relationship is, they don't see it as a long-term thing. Let's do Michelle Blood 101 here. Let's talk about what are the starting points? What are some things people can do to reclaim not authenticity, but authority in their lives? 

 

Michele Blood: 

Oh, very good question. And it's quite interesting because I say this a lot and people until they do it, they don't realize how -- I can talk about my affirmation power songs. Listen to them. I've got plenty of apps, the magnet to money app notifications, affirmations on it, free apps, I've got all this stuff you can have for free. 

 

But one of the things you can do for yourself straight away is clear out the clutter in your environment. I mean, seriously, make sure that your -- because what you look at makes a huge difference to the way you feel about yourself. So declutter your wardrobe, the trunk of your car. As you say, in America, we call it the boot. I don't know why, the trunk of your car. I mean, just Kaizen at all, make sure it's all neat and tidy. Get rid of cobwebs. Maybe you need a few new cushions or pillowcases. Don't leave dishes in the sink. Always make your bed. I mean, your environment makes a difference to the way you feel. You know those drawers you've got. You know, guys, the drawers, you've got to clean them out too. It is incredible how big a difference it makes. 

 

And stop complaining. Stop complaining. Go for 28 days with no complaining. And if you find yourself complaining, as long as you can be mindful enough to stop that complaint halfway through, it's incredibly difficult, But if you can do it for 28 days straight, your life will change because the only reason you're complaining is because you don't want to look at what you're afraid of. You've got to stop and say, what am I afraid of? Am I afraid of losing something that I've got? Am I afraid of not getting something that I want? 

 

And if you can start looking within and release those fears and the shadow side, people never want to look at the shadow side of circumstances. They'd rather blame the government, their neighbors, the relationship, because if you can start doing things like that, you'll find you're less judgmental of others. You'll find you're more compassionate and you'll have more love in your heart, and you'll attract really wonderful people in situations that have always been there, but you couldn't see them. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

It's interesting. The making of the bed is something I read about in a book, maybe 10 years ago, and the author is alluding me, but it was really done under the context of habit formation, right? Like if you make a bed every day second you get out of bed, it's a habit and you're starting the day with a foundation of a regimented thing. 

 

But you're really talking about it in a different way. You're talking about more kind of energetically, right? The decluttering of your space. Don't be looking at things you don't want to look at that are negative. Just be clearly focused on what you want to do. That's a different spin completely. 

 

Michele Blood: 

Well, it really does change your consciousness. It's super important. With my students, I always say to them once a month, do a spring cleaning, not once a year, and you'll feel great. You'll feel really, really good and don't put off. Oh, I can do that later. Do it now. You've only got this moment. Do it now. You don't want things to build up. You've got to get all this done and that done. That just stresses you out. 

 

Once you can begin to live in the moment, not even in the now, because there is no time, but if you can get rid of even thinking about time and you live in a continuous moment, you're never stressed, but meditation does that for you. Meditation will release time from your consciousness. And time is what stresses people out. And it's an illusion. It's manmade so that we could work out when to bring the sheep to market. I'll swap this sheep for some of your corn, all these things that we've, gosh, you don't even need -- 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

Well, we're dangerously on the edge of a precipice of going into quantum science here, because quantum science has proven that time is non-linear, which is a concept that blows most people's mind, right? So it is the 8-hour workday, these are things that we've kind of invented but these are great starting points. 

 

So. All right. So the audience is committing now to doing their monthly spring cleanings, getting rid of cobwebs, putting new couch cushions on the couch or whatever we're doing to declutter space, make it good, make it feel good. Meditation is something that you mentioned is important. And a lot of people talk about meditation as kind of a founding focal point in their wellness.

 

So now let's talk about the next steps, what then if we've graduated, we've cleaned our space. And you really want to help person find that magic inside of them. You called it a heart glow. But I think that's an important thing because if we find out what makes us special, we find that thing that lights up our soul, then every day is fun because and if we can turn that into something we make money at now, it's, you've really kind of crack the code because every day will be rewarding and fulfilling. 

 

But I think let's start with that heart glow as you put it. So what are some steps people can take to really dial into what it is that they're uniquely able to do on this planet? 

 

Michele Blood: 

Well, it's challenging for anyone to -- people think their purpose in life is to do something that makes them happy. No, do something that makes other people happy. And then you'll be happy. Make other people happy, you'll be happy. You'll be successful. But my heart glow was -- my heart chakra had been partially activated. And that's why I felt that heart glow. Because once you're enlightened, everything's activated. And you feel waves of bliss all the time. 

 

And time literally is removed from your consciousness. And that is the most incredible thing because then you have no fear at all. It's incredible. Meditation practice. Find yourself an enlightened teacher, myself or someone who can transmit light to you so that you don't have to find it challenging to meditate on your own. They're meditating you at the beginning.  

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

Tell me what that means. Talk to us about that. 

 

Michele Blood: 

Okay. Shakti Kundalini energy at the bottom of the spine, when a teacher is fully awakened, they have this -- they're like a -- but it's on all the time, and they're a conduit for that divine energy, which is what creates everything, which is what is oscillating in this universe, which is creating all these different world planes and everything that we see created our images of our body, what we see, what we feel, and It's like tiny little bubbles of energy, like scrubbing things clean. It's incredible. 

 

And we have this beautiful kundalini at the base of the spine and along it, there's an ethereal tube called the shishumna. And along that shishumna where the chakras are, but nobody's chakras are activated until you begin to meditate, unless you've been enlightened or meditated a lot in a past life, and you bring that back into your life this time. 

 

And so when the teacher transmits light, it's just going straight into that person's, what I call their diamond, their higher self, and most people can't feel their intuition or see what's going to happen or attract what they want because it's coated with emotions and past habits. And they can't seem to get out of that rabbit hole of a certain habit or feeling depressed or having the same boyfriend or girlfriend, but they're all terrible at all, but different names, same job, different city, same effect, because this is coated. 

 

And so when that light is being transmitted, it starts dissolving or popping all those negative emotions that are tying you into the past. You think of something, and it reminds you of something. Now, that can be a positive thing if it's a positive thing that it reminds you of, but mainly it's not. When it's an emotional, you almost feel inflicted with that particular repeating. 

 

So when that light is transmitted, people start to feel, all my students, I've got students that are doctors, celebrities, lots of different people, but some of them don't even speak English, but they feel it. So as I transmit that light, they feel the tingling and the waves coming through their brain and through their head and their eyes start tearing up and they don't know what it is because it's a such a high frequency that it is doing it for them, helping recalibrate their consciousness. And it takes away layers upon layers that would take many multiple years to do on your own. 

 

Now, I meditated and did positive affirmations and all these things for years before I met my teacher. But the minute I met her, I could feel my eyes tear up. I could feel tingling at the top of my head. I felt like I was high. And I didn't take drugs, that's for sure, Audrey. And so I was like, what is this? 

 

And I remember she said to me, and she just met me, you're a little out of it. So I'm just going to give you some advice. And I said, yeah, what is it? She said get in your car before you start driving. So I would say you can just get some free stuff from me today, michelleblood.com\dailyhelping, michelleblood.com\dailyhelping. You're going to get the magic of affirmation, power, audio books, songs, affirmations, tons of stuff. Six weeks mysticism course on video or whatever you call it. You don't really call it a video when it's on blind, but whatever. Streaming. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

We'll call it streaming. And we'll link to all that in the show notes. And thank you for providing that for everybody listening to this. So a couple of things, one, I've met the only rock star who doesn't and didn't do drugs. He said that that's cool. Good for you. But in all seriousness, I love this kind of discussions, because the left part of my brain, the clinical psychologist is now going and saying, okay, where are their empirical comparisons? Right? Because you dropped a lot of things that people might have said, although that's woo woo, or that's weird. 

 

So, the concept of chakras, which I don't know if we've ever discussed on the show thousands and thousands of years old. There's ancient Ayurvedic texts that talk about them, and the transferring of light. So we actually have studied, not me and my friends, but we as science have studied energy, healing, vibrational frequencies and the effect that it has on a lot of different things. Things like water all the way up to the human brain and plants and other things. 

 

So these things you're talking about transference of energy, energy centers within the body. These are things that while they sound to those that aren't really in the space kind of out there. We actually have pretty good data now that suggests that a lot of these ancient concepts actually have root in science, which is really, really cool. 

 

And I love that you've taken a lot of them and have been able to translate them into songs and apps and things that people can use, because I also think to a lot of the challenges that people have it overcoming obstacles just has to do with simply their perception. So somebody may hearing about transferring of light or meditation may not resonate with them. But prayer might, and we know that prayer physiologically has the same effect on the brain and the body as meditation, right? It's the same parts of us that are lighting up. 

 

So what you've done is taken something that's very complex, that science is just really beginning to understand. Although the ancients understood it pretty well, thousands of years ago, and you've translated it into something that's accessible for everybody and I love that. I think that is fantastic. You've done it with humility, which I love even more. 

 

So kudos to you, Michelle. My goodness. Our time together has just absolutely flown by. And I knew it would be fun. And I knew it would be this way. But as you know, I wrap up every episode by asking my guest a single question. That is what is your biggest helping, that one most important takeaway you'd like somebody to walk away with after hearing our conversation today?

 

Michele Blood: 

Please know that you are so loved, and you are not just a human being. You are a powerful spirit. You are immortal consciousness and God, whatever you choose to call God, literally wants you to have everything that will give you happiness. Because once you have that happiness, you start to have more compassion for others. And you don't want to see suffering. You don't have to suffer. You're never alone. You've come to Dr. Richard because he is a soul who cares and knows that about you. So know that you may, if you ever feel alone, know that you are not. You are never ever alone and you are loved. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

Beautifully said. Beautifully said, Michelle. Give us that URL one more time where people can jump into some of your fun stuff.

 

Michele Blood: 

Well, for the freebies, @MicheleBlood, no blood isn't a punk rock name, it's my father's, it's Irish, michelleblood.com\dailyhelping, and you can get lots of things there for free. The audio book Affirmation Power, I think the reason I wanted your audience to have that is because it covers, like me, simple, KISS, keep it simple and spiritual. It covers what affirmations are in visualization and meditation and some of my experiences way back when that you can relate to, so that you don't have to think it's too woo woo. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

Outstanding. And for those of you in the car or at the gym, we got you covered. Everything Michele Blood, including that link she talked about is going to be in the show notes at DrRichardShuster.com. Michelle, as I said, I loved our time together. I knew that I would. Thank you so much for spending time with us. 

 

Michele Blood:

Thank you. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster:

It was really awesome. 

 

Michele Blood: 

Thank you, Richard. 

 

Dr. Richard Shuster: 

Absolutely. And to each and every one of you who took time out of your day to listen to this, if you're inspired, if you're going to go hop on that link, download some affirmations and dig in to make your life better, go give us a follow and a five-star review on your podcast app of choice, because that is what helps other people find this show.

 

But most importantly, go out there today and do something nice for somebody else, even if you don't know who they are and post in your social feeds using the hashtag #MyDailyHelping because the happiest people are those that help others.
