Roy - Feeding Fatty (00:02):

Hello, and welcome to another episode of feeding fatty. I'm Roy Kerry. We're so glad y'all are with us. Uh, we are taping this just after the holiday Thanksgiving holiday, 2020. So we probably will be referencing a little bit of that. Of course, this is our journey. My journey Terry is my support system and helping me to, you know, try to get my weight, my health under control. So, um, we always want to have, um, other, you know, it's one thing for us to talk about our journeys, but we want to have other people on to more professionals to help us with that and help you with that. So today we have a great guest and Terry I'll let you introduce,

Terry - Feeding Fatty (00:44):

Yes, we're so excited to have Robin Claire, and she is a spiritual author and recovery and writing coach with a business career background. Um, she wanted to learn to live according to her authentic mission during a successful 25 year MBA career in public and private sectors. And she has a deep passion for spirituality and wellness traveled, traveling the globe to study with spiritual masters while developing her divine gifts. Robin welcome. So, so you are so welcome to the show. I'm very excited to talk to you.

Robin Clare (01:27):

Thank you, Terry. And thank you Roy, for having me on today.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (01:32):

Yeah. We're looking forward and not think maybe just kind of start out. I mean, I know you have a lot to talk about the spiritual NIS and, uh, you know, the addiction and how that affects us, our weight and everything, but let's talk about the, your journey for just a minute. I mean, you've made a big break kind of stepping away from your corporate career, uh, pursuing the spiritual illness and, uh, it it's big. So let's talk about how, you know, kind of what led up to that and then kind of your journey through that process.

Robin Clare (02:02):

Yes. Thank you. So, um, so as, as, uh, Terry pointed out, I spent, I spent like 25 years in corporate, but throughout that time I had two personalities. One was my corporate personality, you know, get ahead at any cost and then on the weekends. So I called myself a corporate warrior and then on the weekends I was a spiritual warrior and they could never meet, um, during the time that I was in corporate America. You did not talk about spirituality. I don't know if you do now, but I do it then. And, um, I just started to have this need to have, have become my own authentic self. Like I could, I couldn't be in business anymore without being my spiritual self. And so I was really driven outside for like a year. I stood on my deck almost every night asking how could I be a greater service to mankind?

Robin Clare (02:58):

What I didn't know the time is that I was actually dedicating my life to be of divine service, mean meaning that I would become a promoter of spiritual events. That's what I did first. And then I would also then become a spiritual teacher, a spiritual author. Um, I would be delivering messages from what many might call the non-physical realm. And, um, and so that's what I do. I help people to connect to their own inner divinity and then to what others might call spirit guides, angels, uh, deceased, loved ones and ascended beans. And I feel very blessed to have this role. Um, and sometimes I can't even believe it. I can't believe what I, that I went from this corporate life to this life. Although if you ask any of my good friends or my family, they would tell you that I was always like this.

Robin Clare (03:55):

There were always unique things that happened to me that didn't happen to other people. So I have this idea and then, you know, folks would always ask me how, how do you do what you do? And I always say, I, I didn't know that I couldn't, I didn't, I, I didn't really, I, if we're all energy, if the universe is all energy, then why can't I speak to anyone or connect in any way? And so this I, this knowing that everything is possible for me, allowed me to, um, have access, I guess, is the best way of saying it to, um, to ascended beings that have messages for humanity.

Terry - Feeding Fatty (04:38):

And is that what energy is like for somebody just lay person who doesn't really quite know what energy is? You know, it kind of scares people. Some they're like, Oh my gosh, it's kind of weird. It's like going back to the sixties and yeah,

Robin Clare (04:54):

Yeah, yeah. Well, the universe is made up of energy. You know, we are made up of energy. That's why the, the study of energy medicine is so important for our wellness because we, the way I always say with energy medicine is that we get, um, every, so if we're energy that my work is based on the premise that we are a soul being, having a human being experience, not the other way around. And so the body is the vessel for your soul to come here and learn. And then other members of your soul family show up in different roles in your life. You know, people from your, your, you in, in my teachings, we choose our parents, right? Because we say to them, Hey, you know, before we come here, I need to learn this. And I need to learn that. Can you come in here and set the stage so that I could reach my potential in this lifetime of learning what I need to in order for my soul to grow?

Robin Clare (05:54):

Because this lifetime is just tiny little step on the journey of our soul. It seems like a long time. And it seems like for some people, it feels like forever. And that's why I always say, look at it from your soul's perspective, what is, why is your soul here? What does it want to accomplish? And so when you're looking at what your soul wants to accomplish, you're living from the energy of the energy aspect of you, right? And then from a health perspective, which the three of us are very interested in. And if there our soul's energy, the energy, and we're connected to all the energy and all of the universe, most diseases typically start out as dis-ease in the energy field. And then if we don't heal it in our energy field, if we don't get to understand what's bothering us, our emotions, our thoughts, our energy, our emotions are energy. That's part of our energy field. If we don't heal those thoughts, those emotions, then typically they land in our body and become disease. So this is why energy medicine is so important because you want to be able to understand emote the impact of emotions and thoughts and behaviors on your health.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (07:14):

Yeah. And we discussed that a lot about being able to, you know, get stuff out. And I think what you're talking about in some respects is holding things in. We have to learn ourselves. I think it's interesting what you said, that you felt like your corporate self and your real spiritual self couldn't align. And it's important that we think about that because a lot of times, you're right. We have these dueling personalities, it's with friends at home, at church at wherever. And sometimes we need to do a lot of introspection to see who we are and be able to be that person in life it's across the board. It makes it a lot easier. I think that you, you know, we tend to hold, I do tend to hold a lot more stress when I can't feel like I can be myself. I have to be something different or act a special way.

Robin Clare (08:02):

Yeah. Yeah. And I, I, you know, as someone who's a recovery coach, I find that that ability to be your authentic self, your person in recovery is so critical for your, for your own self care for your relationships live. You're living your recovery at work and living your recovery in your community. So you have to live, live your recovery in all for all aspects of your self, which is the only thing that really guarantees that you'll stay in recovery, right? We're multifaceted beings doing a lot of different things. And when you're, when you declare that you're in recovery, you must follow that in all parts of you. There shouldn't people shouldn't get a different person at work than they get at home. We should have be able to be, we should be able, we should be our authentic and we should be able to feel, um, that we can be our authentic self. Yeah.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (09:00):

So once I think a thing that, uh, really interested, uh, you, uh, really got us interested in wanting to talk to you is that you pretty much call this out. Um, you know, and we'll talk about the food and the weight side. You pretty much call this out as an addiction. And it is, I mean, um, the, you know, I, I have to always admit and say this out loud that, you know, I am the fatty of the two and that's, you know, we talk about things on this show related to me and my struggles, but it's, um, sometimes it's, it, it is an addiction until I think we realize that then, uh, all the different things that we try, they're probably not going to work. We have to figure out how to, you know, what's driving that addiction, how to heal it. And so can we talk a little bit about that and, you know, either how you handle that with other people, or maybe if you want to talk a little bit about your journey there as well. Yeah. That'd be great.

Robin Clare (09:58):

Yeah. So first of all, I really want to say, um, uh, in, in my, in my book writing, which I work with, um, as ascended beings to write the book, I is a term called channeling the book. So I sit quietly and I received guidance on, on what to write. And the third book that I wrote feast and famine healing addiction with grace, this book was, I was getting information from, uh, Sophia, who is an ascended being. Most people know her as the Holy spirit. And the first thing she said to me as I was getting, preparing to write this book, which was very scaring because she wanted me to write this book, but she also wanted me to tell my story of addiction and recovery. But the problem was I was still in addiction. So I'm like, well, this is going to be fun.

Robin Clare (10:48):

I guess I'm just going to have to fake it until I make it in this book. Right? And so the first thing that she said to me in feast and famine healing addiction with grace is that there's only one addiction on this planet and that is to suffering. And then we choose our advice or our substance to perpetuate the suffering until we're ready to look at the suffering and we're ready to heal that heal our traumas and then get back into loving ourselves. So for food, I would say that the, what, what the real question is when someone has a food addiction is what are you really hungry for? Right. Not, not it's it's so you, you can't, yes. We have secondary addictions, right? Mine happened to be chocolate. You know, I realized that this year, and this year I became allergic to it. I can't even eat it anymore.

Robin Clare (11:48):

And it's made such a big difference in my life, I think. Or maybe I'm maybe I'm to it for a while until my body says, all right, we can trust her again to not go crazy, eating it. Like maybe there'll come a time where I can get back to eating it, but maybe I needed to, even though I was in recovery. So I was obsessive compulsive food disorder plus bulemia. And so I was definitely in recovery from the bulemia cause I didn't have any choice cause I almost died, um, through, I think I, I, last time I did it, I was bleeding and I had pain all over my body. And I realized that if I continued to do this, I would probably pop a gasket somewhere in my head or in my heart or something. And so I stopped, but I was still obsessively eating, you know, and then I realized I need that's. I need to figure out why I'm still obsessively eating. And so I worked on that. I worked on the traumas around that and then my body decided to help me by making me allergic to chocolate. And after that, after I was able to remove that, I was actually able to take off 25 pounds that I, I really didn't need. Um, it wasn't serving any purpose. I'm sure it was just causing inflammation in my system. So did I answer your question, Roy? Yes,

Roy - Feeding Fatty (13:14):

She did. And, and you know, I look at that and think, uh, so what are the steps to trying to identify that? Because you know, me and Terry, we we've had bouts of doing really good. And I, I, I say us, I'll say me, me, you know, I have bouts of doing really good and earlier what's been couple months ago, we were man, we were cooking. We were doing everything right. And unfortunately Terry's mother got very ill where she had to spend a few weeks, uh, you know, pretty much dealing with her being at her house every day. And so me left to my own devices, you know, I fall back into the, the ease of eating, whatever I can get my hands on or going up to the burger place or back in the bad habits. And now I find, you know, that I've put some of that weight back on.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (14:08):

So again, that's why I kind of understand this addiction because it's not, um, it's kind of weird. Actually. I was thinking, trying to, I've been thinking about it a little and it's like almost a feeling of comfort. There, there was a time where I felt like I had to eat right before bedtime to feel full and comforted and you know, logically I try to talk myself through that, you know, just because of my, my stomach might just, uh, growl or just make a rumble for a minute. I'm not starving to death. I'm not gonna fall out in the next five minutes or something. It was like, Oh my God, I got to get something quick, you know? But, uh, so anyway, just that you, you mentioned, you know, what are we missing? It's funny. It's just that comfort

Terry - Feeding Fatty (14:52):

And full feeling, but it's

Robin Clare (14:55):

Actually, it is, it is. And it's interesting when, when I was a kid, my mother and I really don't think this was to get us to stop eating. I think it was so that we didn't make a mess in the kitchen. Um, my mom used to say right after dinner was cleaned up that the kitchen is closed now for me as someone who was having to live this, um, journey that my soul wanted to be on, that was very a form of deprivation in a way, you know, that I was like, Oh, where am I going to eat again? What am I going to eat again? But at the same time, I've, that's something that I live by now. The kitchen is closed. Like I just don't go back into the kitchen after dinner. And I know I'm not going to starve before breakfast. Right.

Robin Clare (15:42):

That's just not possible. But one of the things that, um, that happened to me this Thanksgiving is I have been making all the same recipes, mostly, uh, with my daughter for years and years. And those recipes hold like, um, on a memory maybe perhaps of overeating, right. Of, of stuffing myself and then purging, right? Like stuffing and purging something and purging. Well, by the end of, I kind of ate like, not like someone who had just lost 25 pounds in shrunk, her stomach, I ate like the person from two, three years ago who was bingeing and purging by the end of the night, by the end of the dinner, I was so sick. Like I was, I thought like, I felt like I had, I don't know food poisoning, but not, not real food poisoning, but sort of like an like, uh, like I was drunk on food.

Robin Clare (16:45):

And then I just felt like I, and I've been dealing, I think with a food hangover, like I didn't have alcohol. It was all food that made me dizzy and sweating and you know, I had to go outside so that I could, you know, I could breathe. Like, I'm like, what did I just do? How, why did I do that? And I think it was associated with the idea that it's a holiday, so you can eat whatever you want. And I think for us who are being, you know, trying to honor our bodies, that's like not necessary if it's coming from an emotional place. And I do believe that I think I was living off the memories. Terry, what do you think about that? Because you're shaking your head there. I can see.

Terry - Feeding Fatty (17:30):

No, I, I totally agree. And I definitely believe in that food hangover after you just eat everything in sight or everything that you want to, especially with Thanksgiving. Cause you know, we try to give ourselves a pass and say, Oh, it's Thanksgiving, it's the holidays. We can do what we want to do. And then you eat and then you just feel like you're going to blow or you're just, you have pains everywhere. You just,

Robin Clare (17:54):

Yeah. It's painful. It's yes. It's like, it's like a hangover, I think. Yes. Yeah.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (18:01):

I notice it more with, excuse me, with carbs. And uh, like when we would go out maybe used to and go eat Mexican food and sat there and need a couple baskets of chips or tortillas or whatever it is. Like the next day I would be, uh, how I'd have the headache. My head would be full and congested and it, it may take me two or three hours after I woke up to get out from under that. So I mean, it is a real definite thing for sure.

Robin Clare (18:34):

And on the opposite of that, think about how amazing you feel when you eat something healthy, right? Yes. Right. When you've had a, when you've had a meal that you would consider healthy and then the food is energizing, your body and um, you know, giving it the fuel that it needs to be productive. Right. I mean, you could see the difference and you were talking about carbs, Roy and I'm thinking, well, yeah, at our Thanksgiving meal a week had Turkey. Right. But we had stuffing, we had mashed potatoes, we had sweet potato pie. We had Crescent rolls.

Terry - Feeding Fatty (19:11):

Oh my goodness. I'm getting hungry.

Robin Clare (19:14):

Yeah. But it was like all of those things, right? Like I'm like, you know, uh, yeah. So I think I had a carb Fest and my body just said, that's just not happening here. And you know, I was really upset with myself and I, I spoke to my mentor and you know, when she sent me, she sent me just like a red button that said reset. So that's what I've done

Roy - Feeding Fatty (19:40):

Important. We should all have the reset button because you know, my mind is always like, Oh, well I was like, so messed up yesterday. That is not going to hurt test some M and M's or chips or whatever today, you know? Or there's, you know, it's always like, well, we'll start tomorrow. Let's just, let's get this out of our system and start tomorrow. But when you start working your way through all the food groups, the chocolates, the chips, the bad, this and bad that that's, that's almost, uh, an indefinite start time. You can't put it off until you eat all the good stuff.

Terry - Feeding Fatty (20:13):

Yeah. I've already done it today. I mean, I might as well just keep on going, cause I'm going to have to eat celery sticks for the rest. You know, the rest of the time, it just seems like the healthy stuff is what you're, you know, wait what you need, but

Robin Clare (20:28):

Right. And it, it, it is like, I remember my husband and I would go away for a weekend and I would be so bad and he'd be like, let's go on a diet. It would be Sunday, right the weekend. And he'd be like, let's go on a diet now, like right this minute. And I'd be like, Whoa.

Terry - Feeding Fatty (20:43):

Yeah, I need some time. Like, what are you kidding me? I

Robin Clare (20:48):

Got one more meal. It's a weekend. Like, don't take that away from me. And he, he was so good. He'd be like, no, right now we're starting right now. And I'd be like, no, but the thing that's interesting is I also think, you know, you come off a holiday like Thanksgiving, sometimes you need to take it, you know, just give yourself two or three days to get back to what is healthy eating for you. Right. Right. Like today I had a half a cookie, well, big half, you know, it was a big, but I'm like, but I'm like, all right, I had the cookie, I just need to account for that. Right. And so going into dinner, I know, I know, um, I, I'm a big proponent of my fitness pal, which is an app where you count your calories, but I'm also watching my carbs, my fats and my protein.

Robin Clare (21:46):

And so I know that I am really at the top of my carbs already. Yep. So can I have for supper that, that is not going to push me way over on the carbs. And so that's that way, if I, because I did want the cookie and I wanted, um, um, some crew tons in my soup. Right. So coupons are really fattening. You look at them. Um, but I know what I ate. Right. And so I'm not depriving myself of anything today, cause I don't really believe in deprivation. Well though I do believe that if I didn't have carbs, I would feel better. Just like you said, Roy, like I think carbs make us feel like crap.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (22:29):

Yeah. They do. And just like getting, uh, you know, I noticed that, uh, through my life, like, um, getting up the next day, you know, Friday morning I was dragging slow, getting up, moving around, but you know, when I'm on my game and eating, like I should day in and day out, you know, uh, I'll pop up at five 30 or six. O'clock wake up, be ready to go. Uh, you know, kind of like my mind is already in motion where I feel like when I have that car hangover, it's like, my mind is about, you know, two hours behind and still trying to get caught up to get, you know, just get me on the right plane

Robin Clare (23:08):

Energy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is. It is, it makes a big difference. And I actually find, I have to be really careful if I have like oatmeal for breakfast. I mean not nothing wrong with oatmeal. Right. Awesome for you. But that is psychologically gives me like, Oh, carbs carbs, where we've started with the cars, where are we going with the carbs? Right. So it actually just makes my day harder because I have to remember that I had carbs in the morning and sometimes I just want hot oatmeal and it's so good for you. Right. But it does have that can have that psychological effect where it just starts the obsessive compulsive thought process in my mind. Yeah. And, um, that's why I'm better off with like a protein shake or something with spinach in it. And um, almond milk, you know, I'm better like that. I'm better with a very healthy shake in the morning. And I just feel like I've given my body something good to start.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (24:15):

And you mentioned something, I just want to reiterate that, uh, we feel very strongly about is number one, knowing what you're eating. Good, bad indifferent. No what's in it. So you can write it down and then use an app. There's a, you know, my fitness pal, Krono meter, lot of good ones out there use it to Mark it down because at the end of the day, either you can adjust to trying to be closer to where you want to be. Or if you're totally off the reservation, you understand why the next day or two you've gained weight, you can look back and say, well, you know, these are all the things that I ate during this time period. So I, I th I always say, it's good to use it, whether you're eating bad or whether you're eating good, because if you're not eating right, you'll be able to see how bad that really is.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (25:10):

Because a lot of times, you know, like us, when, until we sat down and really thought things through, then I'd be like, Oh my gosh, [inaudible] so, you know, I had this little thing, I'd sit down and make a crew Taane salad with just, it was a bowl of crude Toms with some Parmesan cheese and a little dressing on them. And so then you think, okay, well, 10, 10 crew Toms have 200, or, you know, I dunno how much they have a lot of carbs. So multiply that times, all those croutons I ate and all the bad things I've done during the day, then all of a sudden you start getting this realization of, I see. Now why I'm having trouble losing weight, because it's all these things that you really don't think about, but they add up over a day's time.

Robin Clare (25:55):

Yeah. And you know, there's the old fashioned that, you know, you, you're going to eat a lot of calories. You know, I, you have to exercise. Like, I really believe that true weight loss comes when you're eating healthy within a certain number of calories, certain, you know, level of carbs, proteins and fat and exercising and drinking your water and sleeping well. And did you hear that too?

Roy - Feeding Fatty (26:23):

As one thing I've really fallen off, but yeah, I used to have a note above my, uh, above my desk. I had those in, you know, water sleep because the other that's the thing is once one of my little, uh, once one of these components gets out of whack, it starts throwing the others out. Like when I'm eating, I won't sleep as much or as good. If I stopped sleeping as much, you know, we get busy and all of a sudden having lot of long days, then all of a sudden I need to eat to compensate for that. So, uh, I'm one of these that I have to be very balanced in all those categories to make it work. And, you know, I think that, I believe in the rule that a diet is 75 to 80% of the weight loss, but we can't discount the exercise because we need to move our bodies. And I said a lot and I get very S uh, you know, very stiff. I feel like my circulation is not as good. You know, it's your heart, there's so many other things that just take weight loss off the table. There's so many other reasons that we need to get out and move during the day.

Robin Clare (27:35):

Yeah. And I think of thinking of listening to what you were saying, Roy, and I'm thinking it's like, our body intuitively knows that we are giving it what it means. Right. We're hydrating it. We're giving it hell the food we're giving it sleep. Right. What was the other one? Water

Roy - Feeding Fatty (27:57):

Sleep, diet and exercise. Yes.

Robin Clare (28:00):

And exercise. Right. And it's like, Oh, we can relax here. We don't have to store food to be store calories because we know that the calories are gonna come naturally. Right? Like every day there's gonna be a good source of energy for this body hydration. We don't have to store water in the body. We know that this person is moving. They're going to be eliminating. Well, I mean that, all those add to eliminating well, it's right below one, number one, and number two, it all adds to that. Right. And so when your body sees that you are treating your body like a temple, right. That it is so home of your soul, then it says, Oh, well then let's take this weight off right now. Let's, you know, my husband just lost 45 pounds. Right? Like he, that's what he's doing. He's doing all of it at once. Right. We're doing all of it at once. And then your body just says, Oh, you know, we can be helped. We can shed this extra water weight. We can shed this extra pounds. Right. Because we don't need that for reserve storage because Robin and her husband are doing what they're supposed to be doing. Right. We can trust them now. And then you see the pound star coming off.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (29:26):

We have to think too, our bodies were, even though they may have evolved somewhat that they were designed for a very different time in life where, you know, probably even further back, you know, the caveman era, but let's just take about the aggregate in a society where, you know, the farmer got up at daylight, worked all day out in the fields, hot, came home at, you know, dark eight, went to bed and you know, like myself, I got a, um, uh, an iPhone wa an iWatch, whatever the thing's called that tracks your Apple watch tracks your steps. And so working from home, if I don't make myself get out and do something, I mean, I can be less than 500 steps a day. You know, I get, I walk 25 feet from the, you know, well, I walked 10 feet from the bed to the bathroom, 25 from bathroom to my desk.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (30:23):

And then that's it. I mean, and it sounds kind of weird, but that's the, the actual truth of a lot of, and some people get more walking from the car to the office and you do get that. But you know, our, our jobs now are more setting and not as much, you know, in activity. So I think we have to think about that when we're eating. Like, even as like me, I can't eat like I did when I was a teenager and playing sports and running around all day and all night, you know, we'd just, that's not who my body is anymore. So it's not who my life is. And my body, I have to adjust what I put in it to, uh, count for that.

Robin Clare (31:04):

Yeah. Yes. And I, you know, I know, like on the, my fitness pal app, it says I should be walking 10,000 steps. That's like what I would do on vacation. Right. Right. Like when I can walk the beach and I don't know, I just don't find that in my day, but I certainly still try to get like four to 5,000 steps in, by taking a nice walk on a 45 minute walk or something like that.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (31:31):

I used to beat myself up for that. I think that's a good point that, you know, while 10, 12,000 may be optimal, it's sometimes it's not feasible. And if we can get four to 6,000 in, you know, I think we have to be happy that we got that much in, because you know, we, when you get to a certain point of not doing things right, then all of a sudden you start beating yourself up for, I had an extra a hundred calories, or I didn't walk that extra thousand steps. But think about, if you hadn't been paying any attention at all, you might've had 5,000 extra calories or you might've had 4,000 less steps. So that just gets back to let's celebrate the positives that we do, of what we do achieve. And the, you know, maybe, uh, maybe my calories or my cars were a little bit over today, but if I hadn't been paying attention, they'd have been low over. So let's think how good that is. So, and the other thing I wanted to move to, cause I know Terry is chomping at the bit to talk about riding. So yeah.

Robin Clare (32:37):

Yes, because over the last,

Roy - Feeding Fatty (32:40):

Uh, well, while we were on vacation, I read a book by Matthew McConaughey. He, he just put, uh, a book out and his, what he did is he's, he was a prolific journaler from a young age and he took all of his notes and went and put this book together. And it was very good. And I've talked to some other guests on my business podcast that, uh, journaling big part of their day. And I don't, I'm not good about that, but let's just talk about, you know, journaling, writing, how that can be of help to us, because I think it's very important.

Robin Clare (33:14):

Yeah. When I I'm, so I'm an author, I'm an author of three books that are out now, one that's getting ready to be published. And then I have, uh, two more that are nipped that are nipping at my heels. Um, one, one is actually a book on writing Carrie, and then the other one is the next in my series of, of, um, uh, messages from the spiritual masters. Um, and I remember when I first was feeling and knowing this guidance that I needed to write, because what I know for sure is writing, writing it down, journaling or writing, you know, maybe writing a manuscript heals you because it takes everything that's inside of you, all of these experiences. And it puts them out on a piece of paper. It's almost like the same premise when you're so overwhelmed and you create a to-do list. Like even though every single thing that you have to do is still on that list.

Robin Clare (34:16):

You feel better. Yes. Right. That is on the list. Right. That's what happens when you're writing from your, from your inner self about the journey that you've been on. So I always say that writing your manuscript heals, you published DJing, it heals others. And so when I work with my writing clients, I always say to them first round is for you, tell your story, talk about your parents, talk about someone who may still be alive and you got to out them, just get it out there. And then we'll come back and say, do we want to keep, keep this right? Do we want to keep this? So when I first began getting the message that I needed to write, my, I would wake up at like one, one, one, two, two, two, three, three, three, four, four, four, the angel numbers in the more in the middle of the night.

Robin Clare (35:11):

And I would have to get up and write. And so I would write, I would actually write a letter to God. And that's how I began writing. I would be like, dear God. And then I would start writing to God and just telling God everything that was going on in my life and asking for guidance. And then finally, I was so tired after doing this for so long. I said to my guidance, do you do, why do you, why do you have to wake me up in the middle of the night? And the answer was because you're not writing during the day. So, so I started writing during the day, I started thinking about writing and, um, w you know, what I would be writing. And then I was able to sleep through the night. So if I, this is for your, for your listeners, if you're getting a pool to write, um, it's very exciting for your spiritual team, because they know that they can reach you through your writing and help you to have the best life that you can hear and to actually fulfill your soul's destiny.

Robin Clare (36:17):

So, Terry had seen that I have a course coming up called writing was spirit. And it's a course that I was guided to teach about how to channel content. Like I do. Like, what does that mean to, to download information and put it out on a page? Um, it's, it's a very profound experience. I'm actually, it's fun Terry, because I'm actually trying to figure out what is it that I actually do. Like I said, okay, to teaching the course before I started documenting, what is it about me that I can do this? And what is it about me that I, that I have the courage to do it, because I also believe anyone can do this. It's not, I'm not special in any way. It is. I, as I said earlier, believe that I am one with the universe and that if I want whomever, I need to connect to, I will be able to, to, to get this messaging that is so required to be out in the world. I mean, the whole idea on feast and famine, that what we're really addicting to dictate to his suffering. I had never heard that before.

Terry - Feeding Fatty (37:33):

That's that, excuse me, when I read that, um, on your website, I'm just like, that is so true. It's all about the suffering and yeah. And to put that, you know, to journal and put that down on paper to me, you know, if you put it down on ink, I guess, even in pencil, it's there forever. And then I've got to see it. And then I'm like, Oh my gosh, I got to deal with what is all this stuff? You know, I I'm judging myself because, you know, I brought up in the sixties and seventies and eighties, you know, I just, that's how I was raised just to, to,

Robin Clare (38:13):

We end trauma is so interesting to guys because trauma, I mean, if you have had serious trauma, like, yes, I'm not, I am not diminishing that. What I'm trying to say is we have trauma that we don't even know was traumatic to us. Like, for example, um, when I was like six years old, might my, I was with all my cousins and my dad had just washed his car and somebody put their little hand prints on there and he lined us all up and we all put our heads on there. And mine, mine were, the, my hand was the closest to the size of the thing. And he said, then you were the one that did this Robyn. And I was like, I did not. And then I, my mom said, I screamed from like noon until I fell asleep at night, that I did not do that.

Robin Clare (39:07):

I did not do that. I, I knew don't believe me. And so it set up this like, trauma pattern about, about, um, you know, can, can I trust people who are the closest to me to believe me. Right. Right. And we, we just don't know where those trauma patterns started. And I'm saying that it could be something, a pattern like that, that just begins where we don't know it, but if we don't go in and look for them, if we don't escalate them, these memories, and I would say to you, we all know what our memories are, because the, I always say, they're the memories that you'll be washing dishes or something. And then all of a sudden you'll think of like, something that happened when you were eight years old or 10. And you're like, what am I thinking of that trauma pattern? Like it's like coming up to be looked at.

Robin Clare (40:02):

And so if you have like someone you can trust to look at these, you know, a professional person, um, I, I do believe that if you can look at these trauma patterns, then you can actually heal your life and get back to self love so that you don't use addictive. Um, so look at the patterns, heal your life, move from suffering to self-love. And then you can get out of any kind of addictive behavior. But if you don't look at why you were suffering or what you're searching for, what you really need, then it's going to it's. I think it would be harder to stay in recovery if you don't do the work.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (40:44):

That's interesting you say that because, um, that happens quite a bit, you know, be like thinking about, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast yesterday morning, and all of a sudden I'm thinking about this baseball game or a football game that was, you know, when I was seven, eight, 10 years old or something like that. And, you know, it's just strange how those things kind of like, and then, because I think more lately as I've tried to get healthy, I think why is this popping up into my mind? All of a sudden right now, so,

Robin Clare (41:17):

Well, you know, my, my, my mentor says that, um, that we're made up of parts. Right. And so were all these little parts, like make us be one being, and we could, we have all these different parts that are different ages. Right. And so when those bat part's like waving at you, you know, hello, maybe there's something that could help you. He you'll what you're, if you look at me then, and maybe give me a new assignment. Um, like I had, I looked at a part a couple of weeks ago and it was really angry. It was really, it was a part of me that was very angry from my childhood. And so I said to this part, you know, as I was going inside, I go, can I give you a new job? Like, instead of making me feel angry at things, how about if you become my passion?

Robin Clare (42:12):

How about if you fueled my, my in my projects. Right? And instead of having me look for reasons why people might mess me up, right? Like being, not, not trusting people or getting mad at people, if they don't, if they don't live up to my expectations, how about being my passion for the project so that I can clearly state what my boundaries are and clearly state what my requirements are of other people, and then make it up to them to say, I can do that Robin, or I can't. And you know, maybe you, maybe we don't do this, but so I'm, I'm having that anger, fuel my projects with passion, and then we'll see, we'll see what happens, but we have to know the source of, of that. What, what was going on at that memory?

Terry - Feeding Fatty (43:05):

Uh, I would like to, I'm going back for a second. I would like to know if anybody ever any of your siblings ever fessed up to put in that hand print on the car, or if you actually did it and you were just denying?

Robin Clare (43:17):

No, I don't know. I mean, I, I think no one was going to fess up to that because my dad was so mad. Um, I guess I could ask them, it wouldn't be a good question. It would be, it would be a good question because I feel like I can actually, it's so real still that I can, I, I can see myself in line and I was a little one at the time. Right. So I was last in line and nobody's fit, you know, it's like the OJ glove. Yeah.

Terry - Feeding Fatty (43:47):

Right. Well, it must acquit

Roy - Feeding Fatty (43:50):

Funny how that works, because I remember when I wasn't there, but my, uh, my ex-wife and my grandmother had gone shopping with the kids. And so my son was probably three, four or five at the time. And this is how long ago it's been, there was actually department stores. You could go in and buy clothes. And other merchandise people of this day is like, was that on Amazon? Or where was it? It was actually a department store. You walked in. And so he had gotten in the, in the middle of one of these round closed rings and he was hiding and kind of having fun. Well then when they started looking for him and, um, he kind of panicked just a little bit, cause they, he could tell their voices were getting a little bit more stern and a little bit more scared. And so then he's like, well, I'm not saying anything. So then he just ended up staying there and it just totally made things worse as you go. So yeah, definitely. You know, you read that parent's anger and like, yeah. I'm not fessing up to it now, even if I might have wallet goat not doing it. Yeah,

Robin Clare (44:54):

Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, that, that could be something that moves into his, um, uh, um, you know, when, when he, when he's afraid that the people that love him the most are going to get angry with him, if he shares what he's most upset about in life. So maybe he might hold it in, right. Or, or, or, um, you know, drinking's dead. Right. You know, something like these, these just set up patterns. There's, you know, the people who love us, um, you know, we have to know that our parents were doing the very best that they knew, knew how to do with what they knew. Right. Right. Like, you know, what they were taught from their parents, it's like generational, but I will say this in the energy healing work, you know, and any of this trauma pattern work, when you actually go in and heal your own traumas, there's almost like an energetic, generational thing where it heals people generations back on the soul level and it heals people generations forward on the soul level. So everything that you do impacts your lineage when you are courageous to do your own work, I call living an examined life is, is the term that I use when you live an examined life. And you look at these trauma patterns, you're healing your whole family. Interesting. And they may not know that, but it's, it's done on an energetic level, on a soul level,

Roy - Feeding Fatty (46:36):

Robin. Uh, one more question for you before we wrap up is, um, yeah. So what is a tool that you use either, you know, the professional life riding, what or personal life, either a tool, a habit ritual that you do every day, you just couldn't do without

Robin Clare (46:56):

That I couldn't do without, um, I, I pray every morning when I get up and I pray the gratitude for, for being here. I pray with gratitude for being able to serve. I pray with gratitude, um, to be able to share wisdom. And, um, I pray with gratitude for my recovery, um, so that I can stay healthy. So, and I pray obviously for my loved ones for their health and wellness. And I believe that starting my days, the first thing I do, I don't even get out of bed when I just go into this prayer because I feel that it sets my energy to be in alignment with my divine source, which, um, which is kind of like a requirement for my job. Right. But I also think, I also think that it just sets me off, um, in the right direction. And, um, I'm a big proponent of, uh, the law of attraction, the teachings of Abraham Hicks. And, um, I believe that it's setting me, it's aligning me with all that I most is the higher in my life. And, and that hopefully by staying in that mindset of positivity, um, or starting my day off there being positive and grateful, that can only attract more things to me that, that I most desire on a daily basis. That's awesome.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (48:30):

I do believe in that so much that if we practice, uh, being gracious, thankful, it just attracts more positive. If we're, if we always walk around upset and mad, then it's just going to seem like it attracts more problems to our lives. So that's awesome. All right. Well, if you don't mind take a few minutes and just tell us, uh, you know, where people can go to, you know, find out more information about you, how you can help them, and also take a few minutes to tell us about, uh, the books that you have out there and what you have, if you, if you're close enough to talk about the one that's coming up next.

Robin Clare (49:07):

I, I am. Yes. Thank you. So my, my website is [inaudible] dot com, C L a R E dash I T y.com. It's a play on my last name. Thank you. Um, and then, um, and then my Instagram is clarity by Robin and my Facebook is clarity with Robin and yeah, so I have, um, so my books are, my first book is called Messiah with them. It's a guide to embracing your inner divinity. And it's a channel book with, um, Yeshua who most people called Jesus. And then my second book is called the divine keys. Um, it is a book on how to live a divinely guided life. Uh, Yeshua came back and told me I wasn't living the first book. So I had, I had to figure out what I was doing wrong, I guess. And so I figured that out and then I re I, I, this is a very, it's a simple book would be contemplative.

Robin Clare (50:07):

Oh, of course, the third book, which we talked about feast and famine healing addiction with grace is as, as a book to help people to move from out of the addiction of, um, of suffering to a light, a healed life and living in recovery and allowing grace into their lives. Um, my fourth book is a book that I wrote with King Solomon, and that's just about ready. It's called King Solomon speaks a meditation journey from, from spiritual to divine and it's seven meditate sessions, um, that will help people to really live their divine journey versus just, um, studying it or, you know, saying they're never healed. It's about being healed, being of service and allowing others to make the journey with you. And then, uh, my, my fifth book I'll start writing, um, is, well, I don't know, my fifth and sixth, maybe I have to write them at the same time since they came in at the same time. But one is about this writing, writing was spirit. Like, what does that look like or, and using writing to as a recovery tool, because that's what I did. I used writing to recover. And then the other one is another book, uh, with a female from the Bible. Her name is Martha and it's about becoming, um, a spiritual teacher.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (51:37):

Okay. Yeah. And it's, uh, you know, that's, uh, the writing, even when I journal, it's kinda like the to-do list. I, I just feel unburdened just to get stuff out and it doesn't have to be negative feelings or anything. It can be a positive, but it's just like, I just feel so much more relaxed after I get that out. Yeah,

Robin Clare (51:59):

It does. It, it really, it, it removes it from inside of you, even if it's just for the time that you put it out there, it's, it's excavating it. Right. And it's making room for more light and more peace and more joy in your life because those traumas, those concerns, those worries. Um, like, like you said, Roy, uh, one of my favorite Abraham Hicks, um, quotes is worrying is like praying for what you don't want.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (52:32):

Right.

Robin Clare (52:32):

Cause every time you worry about something, every time you talk about something in the form of lack, you're attracting more lack to do more things to worry about. So I would always recommend to people ask for what you want, not what you don't want. Right. So for example, well, if you're having a financial problem, don't, um, you know, don't ask for, um, don't say I don't have enough money to pay my bills, ask for enough abundance to, uh, pay your bills and then maybe to pay some forward, you know, to, to be able to be generous. So when we worry about what we don't have, we get more of that when we worry, when we, when we don't worry and we ask for what we do want, that comes to us as long as we hold that vibration.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (53:22):

Yeah. And you mentioned too about, uh, paying forward. I think it's important that we put stuff out there without any expectation of reciprocation. I think that's, that's the main thing that we have to, you know, what you put out in the universe, you get back 10 fold. And so I think that we have to be able to pay it forward without saying, okay, I'm going to give them this, but I'm getting this in return. Now we have to have that pure heart and say, this is, uh, you know, this is to help somebody and let it go for sure.

Robin Clare (53:54):

That just makes you feel so much better. Yeah. And so even like doing, you know, you guys, when you're doing this podcast is it's giving, right. It's, it's paying it forward. Right. You're sharing your wisdom. You're allowing others to come on and share their wisdom. And it's, it's a blessing. Yeah.

Roy - Feeding Fatty (54:12):

Well, Robin, thanks so much for taking time out of your day. And, uh, we look forward to having you back. We could have gone on for probably a couple more hours that we'll definitely have to schedule you again. And, uh, you get a little bit deeper. So, uh, we won't thank everybody for listening.
