EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

Freddie Kimmel (00:02.284)
Welcome to the Beautifully Broken Podcast brought to you by AmpCoil. I'm your host, Freddie Kimmel, and on this show, we discuss the common thread survivors share after walking through the fire, the practitioners making a difference, and the treatment modalities that deliver healing back into the hands of the people who need it most. Witness the inspiration we gain by navigating the human experience with grace, humility, and a healthy dose of mistakes. Because part of being human is being beautifully broken.

Freddie Kimmel (00:35.995)
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the beautifully broken podcast. This is the last one of 2020. I was going to skip this week because it's been so busy and there's so much going on and there's a swirling vortex of energies. I feel this in everyone. We're going into this new decade. It's so exciting. And I was hit with this self-examination. I'm doing this assignment for me.

and I'm going through this list of questions and I thought this would be an amazing podcast because I think it's timely, I think it's relevant, and I think it would be a great tool to launch you into 2020. So I'm gonna go through these questions. We're gonna go through them in real time for, this'll be my answer. And then you can apply these, I'll put these questions in the show notes and I think they're really, really great. You know, New Year's resolutions.

Let's face it, at the end of next year, you are going to be heavier or lighter than you are right now. That I can guarantee. So without any further ado, number one, am I using my time wisely? Well, I'm definitely dedicating a majority of my energy towards something bigger than myself. My goals aren't so driven towards

being well or achieving some optimal level of health because I feel pretty good with what I have and I'm very thankful for my cognition, my energy. They're the best they've been in my life, period. I'm 41 years old. I can say that now after going through all the chronic illness, Lyme, cancer, mold, all those shenanigans. So I'm celebrating that. Am I using my time wisely? That's the question. You know what? I dedicate and drive

too much towards work and not enough time towards joy. And that's real for me. I know that. I say that every day. I'm working too hard. The balance isn't there. So there'll be a time where the tank runs dry and that either means that I get sick or it means that my output starts to suffer. Maybe the creative quality control meter drops.

Freddie Kimmel (02:56.677)
That's a real thing that could happen. So I need to be wise about how I use my time and I need to balance towards joy and fun. Self-care, I'm good there. I've got enough. think I could be a little more targeted on what I'm spending my time on, but I need to focus on joy and fun and laughing and planning vacations. And I've started that in a notebook. So I'm sketching out my vacations for

2020, my friends who are worried about me, Freddie, we never see you, you're always working. I'm going to try to change that. So our next question on here, number two, am I taking anything for granted? I probably don't hold enough gratitude again for the health and wellness that I have right now. I'm pretty much able to eat most foods. I could go out and get Chipotle and not have a severe food reaction.

I can work all day long and energy is not an issue. I could travel anywhere in the country. I can walk without tremendous pain. I think those things are everything for a person who wants to change the world. If you have that, if you have your faculty, your facility, your thoughts, what more is there? I have a beautiful family and while I don't have a partner or a relationship,

that would be considered that quote unquote coupling at the moment. I have a beautiful community and a beautiful family and my nieces and nephews, if you're on my Instagram or my Facebook feed, I'm sorry, because they own that. And they're just very, very grateful for them and their unique playfulness and joy and beauty. My brothers and sisters, they got some beautiful kids. That's all I have to say. So I could take more gratitude for that.

Number three, am I employing healthy perspective? Perspective, I gotta think about that one for a minute. I think I probably tried to drive or achieve the unachievable. I could probably set more realistic goals. Everything doesn't have to be a moonshot. And I don't have to succeed at everything.

Freddie Kimmel (05:17.892)
I could, I could set down that a little bit. There's a degree of that. That's not healthy for myself that I push and push and push and don't take no for an answer. And when I push past that line, I feel that state of depletion. can, it's like a slight depression. You know, you've worked all day long and you're fasting and you're, you're doing your red lights and I'm working on a podcast and I'm on the phone running a business and I haven't, I haven't

taken the time to just sit back and wait a second, the clock should stop at the end of the day. I should set all this stuff down and I should pick it up tomorrow. And I should be realistic about what I can achieve and just breathe. Part of that comes from being chronically ill for a while. I just don't like sitting still. I was forced into stillness, into the couch, into a hospital room for a long time. And I'm very reactive to that.

So I push away from it. But that's something I could take a healthy perspective on and I could shift that. So I'm gonna write that out for myself. My next one, number four, am I living true to myself? Am I living true to myself? I think so, again. Work-life balance, joy, and investing in some of those deeper connections with people in my community.

I'd say that's where I could pick up. But I do feel like I'm pretty true to myself. Where do I fall off? I'll fall off when somebody attacks me with a little bit of negativity, especially in social media. That'll make me fall off. I can become untrue to myself and those thoughts. And in a podcast episode I mentioned about forgiveness, I can loop that negativity and have those feelings of, you know.

Vengeance or rage So I could see where that could that could be improved a little bit Next one. this is big for me. Am I waking up in the morning ready to take on the day? so That's gonna resonate with some people Do you wake up ready to take on the day for myself? I'll tell you what the buffer is. I'll tell you what the process it's getting up I gotta I gotta get in a hot shower

Freddie Kimmel (07:40.35)
hot cold, hot cold, and jump start the motor a little bit, because I worked till one in the morning. I was up till two in the morning. I was up till midnight. I didn't close my computer till 1130. That does not set me up with success to take on the next day. I need to go to bed earlier. I need to plan and I need to schedule these tasks. And if they're not done by eight o'clock, it should be 630 PM. I should shut the computer.

set them down and move on. I could set myself up better for success. Here's another one, very practical health tip. I could eat chocolate earlier in the day. If I'm gonna have a piece or two of dark chocolate, for me, even a couple pieces of paleo, it's called Evolve Dark Chocolate. If you haven't tried it, get yourself, get you to Whole Foods and indulge because it's absolutely magical. But I'll bust open that chocolate bar late.

10 p.m. and it really does it reacts in my body like a cup of coffee so it's stimulating I could that could help my processes before bed the other thing I could do before bed to set my morning up for success is to carve out that time for dedicated download of the daily thoughts for me what really works when I do it is to open up a clean piece of paper in a journal and to write out everything that's running through my brain

everything that's running through the noggin and just do a a dumping if you will of ideas a dumping if you will of thoughts that would be profound for me i think that that's going to set me up for sleep very well you know the other thing i'll say is i've got a pair here's a very practical tip about going to bed and being ready for the next day would be to wear a pair of blue blocker glasses blocking the blue light from computers

television screen my phone that is suppressing melatonin production in my own body and Making it difficult to fall asleep now. I do supplement with DaVinci liposomal melatonin, which is excellent very affordable online and Another interesting fact. I don't want to get too much into health and wellness here. I want to say more in the mindset work, but

Freddie Kimmel (09:58.281)
you know, high dose melatonin up to eight, 10 grams for short periods or bursts of time can help the brain detoxify. Melatonin is a supplement that helps actually the brain's inflammation drain. I got that tip from a couple of practitioners in Jersey and then my friend Caitlin also practices, she uses the DaVinci Liposomal Melatonin. Also Chris Shade from Quicksilver Scientific makes an excellent, excellent liposomal melatonin.

Above and beyond putting you to sleep. It will help the brain detoxify lower inflammation and make you more prepared for the next morning Pro tip the first few weeks you do that. You're gonna wake up feeling like you got hit by a sledgehammer So be aware. It's more the brain detoxifying than it is the lasting effects of the melatonin But that was a change for me and it really worked and those benefits stuck from the time I tried it Here's it. Here's another one. Am I thinking negative thoughts before I fall asleep?

Well, again, I work too late and that's a thing.

I've got to be able to change that. That's an easy fix. I should be able to alter that and change the amount of time I front load before bed. Right now it's work, work, work, work, work, lay down, do all my health hacks and try to force myself into sleep. Whether it's running a program on the amp coil, deep sleep, know, pulse electromagnetic frequency with some very, very soothing.

sign waves running into my body which will take me to that Delta sleep state right on the verge and I drop in. Because I'm going from work mode daily life right into sleep there's not a bridge to clear that negativity if there is any. My go-to for that when I have time and I do it like I should I do some emotional freedom tapping and again I talk through all those negative scenarios that are running through my brain or my body and I'm still feeling them in my tissue

Freddie Kimmel (11:57.055)
and I dump those through some emotional freedom tapping, as I mentioned before, the free thought journaling and letting those things ooze out onto the page. My next question, am I putting enough effort into my relationships? Absolutely not. I'm not. And that's what I would do if I were to have a little magic wand to change the structure of my day, and I've got to write down what I want so then I can know how to make it happen.

I would be done working at 5.30 or six and I would take the end of that day for joy. And for me, joy is being with friends, with family, with lovers, with community and spending it that way. Moving on, easy answer. I know what I need to do there. Am I letting, am I letting matters that are out of my control stress me out? Yes.

definitively yes. You know the last two weeks this has been a big shift for me. I've set down my attachment to result. I show up how I'm gonna show up. The outcome it's out of my control. And I've really had to let that go because November was a bad month for me. I was literally making myself sick. My gut was twisting, my scar tissue, my abdominal adhesions, which are

post-surgical scar tissue were growing and twisting and every two weeks I was again, I was experiencing these laying on the floor puking for a day or not able to get out of bed because I was stressing myself out, worried about things that are beyond my control. That worry, that heartache, that doesn't play into a positive outcome. It's just, for lack of a better word, it's bullshit you carry into process. It's your bullshit and you don't need it to get things across the finish line.

worry about it, don't worry about it. The world's still turning. It's still gonna turn out the way it's gonna turn out. You show up how you need to show up and embrace the outcome, accept what's coming. It's gonna happen either way. So why make pain for yourself? The last question I have for you and myself, am I achieving the goals that I set out for myself? Okay, so just a quick scan of 2019. I wanted to start a podcast.

Freddie Kimmel (14:24.407)
Well, you're listening to it. So if you're hearing this, you're hearing the materialization of my dream. That was big. I love podcasting. I love it. I wish I had a million listeners each week. I don't yet. might. But I love contributing because I always listen to shows and I think of what I would have said or where I would have...

Contributed to the conversation or that's a nice way to put it But what if he opened up the statement so there's more possibility to go to the next question That's what I try to do when I interview people I try to not shut it down with what my my opinion in my view is and this is the way I think about it It's yes, and that's a tip I got from Larry King when I when I looked at making a podcast I listened to all these the biggest game changers in the industry Tim Ferriss Larry King Luke story

You know, and I listened to how they approach interviews. Another gentleman, I can't remember his name from, he writes for GQ a lot, but his articles are great. And it's always yes and what else could it be? What else can we come up with? Trust me, life is interesting and to sit down and speak with someone and be able to pick their brain for an hour, it's such a treat for me. You know, the other goal was for it to be successful.

And I think with, you know, the show's an hour, we've had 30,000 downloads in over, it's like 29 countries. It's pretty cool. It's a lot of time that we've spent together. Maybe we haven't met face to face, but a lot of people reach out to social media, Instagram, Facebook, message me directly through Freddy Seco. I love it. I love it. Especially when it's someone who's had this incredible up level because information they got connected through, through Beautifully Broken.

I don't need to worry about the numbers. It's like the one, right? Like Spock said, it's the one. Actually, Spock said the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. And then he passes away in Star Trek IV, although he does come back. So I'm going to leave that sidestep. I'm going to go back into this train of thought. I wanted to sell my home in the city. I wanted to leave New York City just for a little bit, not forever. But I wanted to feel like what the country felt in my body. And now I'm in the woods in Connecticut. Success.

Freddie Kimmel (16:46.849)
I wanted to buy a car with all wheel drive. So when I wanted to go home and see family, I wasn't worried about snow or bad weather. Success. You're the first to hear about that by the way. I wanted to give 2019 full focus on health and wellness, working with AmpCoil, doing the podcast, coaching, being incorporated in some other startups that are bringing some awesome tech.

to the field of health and wellness. It's all happening. Even picked up an amazing connection last week, which you will hear about. This exciting team putting together a resource for children of chronic illness that is not backed by affiliates. It's all invested in what do you do when you have a child of chronic illness? How do you avoid spending $15,000 in your first three months searching around for what will make them feel better?

So that's thing happening. And I'm gonna be a part of that and I'm gonna interview that creator and I'm gonna support it however I can. yeah, 2019, a lot of work stuff, a lot of content, a lot of deliverables, a word that I despise. A lot of stuff happened, which is great. But I think 2020 is gonna be about balance for me and about joy.

about reaping some of these rewards. Where can I go work from in the country? In the world. I got the computer, I got the microphone, pretty much anywhere. So that's really exciting for me. I want you to ask yourself this. If 2020, if this was the best year of your life, what would have to happen? If 2020 was the best year of your life, what would have to happen? Think about it, write it down.

If you want to achieve it, I promise you you can. There is no greater guarantee of a long, happy, healthy, and prosperous life than for you to continue and commit to working on and being and having and achieving more of what lights you up inside.

Freddie Kimmel (19:03.163)
