Fear and doubt have a way of moving in quietly until they run the whole show.
We sit down with author and coach Jackie Elliott to unpack “abusive brain chatter” — the subtle yet relentless inner voice that convinces us we are not enough—and how to replace it with a kinder, truer narrative grounded in self-love and purpose.
Jackie shares how early conditioning and family pain shaped her beliefs about beauty, worth, and success, and how those beliefs fueled years of self-sabotage. Her turning point came at 42 with a moment of surrender that sparked a spiritual path, a toolbox of daily practices, and a refusal to bully herself anymore.
We explore her three-part method—awareness, spirituality, and belief work—and show how each piece fits together in real life: confronting imposter syndrome when releasing a book, reframing aging through inner light, and challenging old money stories that keep us small. You’ll hear practical strategies like writing an apology letter to yourself, using baby steps to slip past fear, and building meditation and habit stacking routines that literally rewire the brain.
Jackie’s workbook, “The Silent Bully: A Journey from Abusive Brain Chatter to Self-Love,” turns insight into action with chapter-by-chapter worksheets for thought tracking, reframing, and gentle accountability. If you’re ready to stop normalizing self-criticism and start living from your light, this conversation offers both hope and a plan.
If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review—your words help more listeners find the tools to quiet their inner bully and step into purpose.

Transcript:
If you’ve ever struggled with fear, doubt, or worry and wondering what your true purpose was all about, then this podcast is for you. In this show, your host, Sylvia Warsham, will interview elite experts and ordinary people that have created extraordinary lives. So here’s your host, Sylvia Warsham.
Hey Lightbringers, it’s Sylvia Warsham. Welcome to Released Out Reveal Purpose. And today is Jackie Elliott. Her story is powerful and it really needs to be heard. She is an author, she has released a book on this. Uh, abusive brain chatter is something she mentioned a lot in what I was reading on her biography, because our brains can sometimes speak to us in a very negative voice, and sometimes we don’t know where that negative critic comes from until we start diving deeper into our minds, into that chatter, and discover that at the core is a child, a child that wasn’t seen, a child that developed these negative chatter as a young kid, not through a fault of her own, but and not even to the fault of her parents, they did the best they knew um consciously to do. But as we all know, and as my listeners know, the subconscious mind is extremely powerful, and as kids, it takes everything in it, it has no filter to it. And as I read Jackie’s story, I could see myself in her. So without further ado, Jackie Elliott, thank you so much for joining us on Released Out Reveal Purpose.
Well, thank you. And Boy, that is probably the best introduction I’ve ever had to many podcasts. That was beautifully said, Sylvia. Thank you for that.
Well, the boss upstairs was the one that shared that with you. Um, I’m simply a vehicle of his voice, and he wanted you to know just how much he cares about you and hears you. And so I know your purpose, your divine purpose is to be this author, to share this story, to be on these podcast interviews. So please share with us your powerful story of transformation.
Well, um, I think as you laid it out, my my story, I loved what you said. In fact, in my book, I talk about the fact that the um abusive brain chatter uh you know comes at it as a child. We start getting conditioned, uh, maybe not through, you know, my uh mother or father or whatever. No one, my mother would cut off her hand rather than hurt me. But it was her abusive brain chatter that uh I started to integrate into my life. She was depressed, suicidal, and attempted suicide uh when I was a young child. With we had I had three sisters, and so I started getting those uh-oh, I better be good messages or a mom will die, or you know, I started getting shame messages, I started getting messages that kind of shape me. And as a third child, of course, I had to kind of find my way among my sisters, and I think this is something that’s very common from everybody. I mean, um, my next book is gonna be about is it’s actually gonna be fiction about how you know if we reprogram our brain and have a wonderful family, you know, and non-dysfunctional family, that probably still things are gonna happen. We’re gonna be raised by a perfectionist, you know, who wants us to be perfect and who’s always there. And, you know, so so we get shaped in many different ways. And that was my story. Um, my mother wanted to fix me. I was her project, and that came out of again, her abusive brain chatter. And I call abusive brain chatter what it is, is it’s we all have chatter, as you said, but this is chatter on steroids. This is chatter that holds you back. Um, and so as my mother kept trying to fix me, taking me to plastic surgeons as a teenager, um, taking me to charm school, you know, doing all of these things for me, the message that kept getting internalized is I’m not good enough, I’m not pretty enough, I’m not enough. And as a result of that, I started uh to um act out, started to hurt myself, started to back away from taking chances. Um, I was the invisible child, I was the third, and I was invisible. And so I never learned to shine. You know, I had one sister who was the one who got in trouble, one sister who was the A student, but I was the invisible child. So I stayed invisible, and in fact, I had asthma for most of my life because I couldn’t breathe. I just I just held myself in. And um it caused me a lot of pain. You know, it caused me this horrible, horrible chatter that um made me do self-destructive things uh just to quiet it. You know, I was sexually promiscuous, I I I was a binge eater for all my life, even though my mother took me to Weight Watchers and gyms and all of that. I was a binge and diet eater. So when I hit, as you said, when I hit the age of 42 after having a very failed marriage with somebody who uh was um kind of emotionally abusive, was gaslighting me a lot, cheating on me. Um and I was so addicted to him that I I I we divorced and I remarried him. I I got him back. And uh it wasn’t until you know I say I I left my abusive uh my my emotionally abusive husband, but I took my emotional abuser with me, and I discovered that at age 42. That’s when I laid in bed watching the TV, because I binge watch TV obviously, eating a box of cereal. I talk about this in my book, uh, the asthma inhaler in one hand, and um and I just I hit bottom. You know, I just hit bottom and I said, and I got down on my knees. It was like I just knew there was no there was no one in me. You know, I knew the only one who could fix me was me, but I didn’t have it in me, so I couldn’t fix me. So that day, it was a summer day, June, I don’t know, maybe 19th or something. I was home from work and I got down on my knees, and I just it’s like I surrendered. I said, I can’t do this. I I don’t even know the first thing about how to do this. I need help, but I don’t even know where to get the help. And so whoever you are at that point, you know, I was I was spiritual, but I you know, it was I didn’t lean on it a lot. But whoever you are, wherever you are, you need to guide me now. You need to guide me back to myself, and that started my spiritual journey, of course. You know, that day I got up, I got called a counselor, I went to a spiritual program. Um, and I it was like, you know, this this is gonna change. I’m no longer gonna live like this, I’m no longer gonna beat myself up like this. So that started me on this journey of spiritualism, of self-love. And um, you know, I want to tell your listeners, it it’s not easy. It didn’t take, it wasn’t like I got down on my knees and and it was over. I had to do the work, I had to face those demons. I had to relearn how to talk to myself. And the first thing I did was to understand that I had been abusing myself. And I had to, I had to uh write a letter to myself and tell me I was sorry. You know, I I just I just said, you know, I am so sorry for not taking care of you, for not treating you well, for um shutting you out, shutting you down. Um I’m a light spirit. I you know, I keep my picture, my picture of me when I was three or four before my light went out up on my wall so I can see it, and you could see, you know, bright eyes, wonderful cheeks, I was kind, I was loving, I was creative, and all of that got shut down. And so now it’s become my mission. I mean, it’s it’s 30 years later. And through all of that, I have just grown so immensely. And I felt, and as a life coach, you probably understand this. One of the processes I do is I allow my clients to uh let their abusive brain chatter, you know, talk. Let’s hear what it’s saying, okay? Don’t stuff it down. Let’s let’s hear what this guy or girl, this gal is saying to you. And I’ve heard so much negative, horrible chatter. It sometimes it just broke my heart. And I thought I had bad abusive brain chatter, you know. And so I decided it was time to write a book and uh show people the way I the the path that I took and the path that I helped my clients take and offer them some hope. And I called it the silent bully, a journey from abusive brain chatter to self-love, because that’s what it is. And I’ve had some feedback or pushback on the term abusive brain chatter, which I trademarked. And people say, Oh, ooh, I don’t like that. And I say, Good, you’re not supposed to like that. Yeah, so so often we normalize our talk. Oh, I’m never gonna get a good job. I’m so so bad at my job, I’m so stupid, I’ll never get a good job. Yeah, and we say that out loud to our friends, right? It’s normal. Oh, let’s normalize talk. And my book is saying that isn’t normalized talk, and there’s three things that I offer. Well, I offer more than three things, but the three key components of my book feed into what you were saying about spirituality, it’s awareness. The first thing is you have to be aware that you have an inner bully, uh abusive brain chatter. You have to be aware that what it is, when it’s talking to you, and when it shows up. And you know, that just I always say, be like Jane Goodall, just kind of get neutral and go, ooh, that wasn’t very nice. Where’d that come from? Right? So that’s the first step. And the second step that I talk about is spiritual. I know through the work I’ve done and through my own work, and this may not be everybody’s experience, but I couldn’t fix my mind with my mind. I had to re rely on a power that was more loving, was more kind, and would show me my light. One of the things I do with my clients when I take them on this journey is I take them on a journey to find where they lost their soul. Where did their what where where was your soul when you lost it? What do you what happened? When did that light go out? And then we bring it back to the present and we work on work with our higher power, our spiritual guide, our mother earth, whatever we want to call it, and we work together on nurturing it so that when we start saying horrible things to ourselves, we go, no, that I’m not gonna beat my soul up anymore. That doesn’t that doesn’t fit my narrative. So, you know, show me that soul again, that loving soul. Oh, she’s a happy, joyful person. She didn’t mean to hurt anybody with what she said. She doesn’t need to feel shame, she doesn’t need to beat herself up. And I rely on that to change the chatter. And then the third thing, as you mentioned, also is the challenging your core beliefs. Wait, where did that come from that I’m not pretty? Well, that came from a belief that my mother told me I wasn’t pretty enough and I had to be fixed. Is that true? No, I have an inner light. You know, most of my life I felt ugly. It was really sad. I mean, people when they hear that, they say, That’s that’s really sad. But I as I’m aging, I’m relying more on my inner light because you know, our body ages, our skin changes, and and all of that stuff happens, and it’s and and the abusive brain chatter can get worse as we age and we look at our face in the mirror. And I’ve made a conscious decision to love the person I am aging. I am not gonna do to myself now what I did to myself during my abusive brain chatter years. So I always look in the mirror, and I if I catch myself saying, Oh my god, look at those jowls, or look at those bags, I look deeper into the mirror and I say to myself, Oh wow, there’s my mother. Look at them, I’ve got my mother’s eyes. Oh, wow, that’s my father’s smile. He had a smirk, and I’ve got that smile. And look at that nose. It’s not the most perfect nose, but that that’s my dad, that’s my grandma, this is my heritage, this is how I’m aging, this is who I am, and this light inside of me is what I want to shine because that’s what people judge me on. Now, some people may judge me on the fact that I haven’t had plastic surgery and I’m not, you know, and all of that, but I judge me on how I look in people’s eyes, when I talk to people, and they smile and they nod, knowing, and they love me and they hug me. I know that I’m a beautiful person, and no way am I going back to that abusive brain shattered. That was a thing of the past. That’s a sad thing I find when women do that to themselves, when they bring that, they only have a few years left. Maybe I have 10, 15 years left. Is this the way I want to spend my 10, 15 years emotionally abusing myself? No. Uh-uh. I’m I’m I’m gonna I’m gonna say no, and I’m gonna say say no to my emotional abuser very kindly. Thank you. Keeping me down, not wanting me to shine. But nope, I got this. You can go, you can go now. I can relate.
I can relate on so many levels. You you mentioned quite a few things, so let’s try to unpack them. Uh, one of the things I heard you say was you didn’t believe yourself to be beautiful enough. And we know that that programming comes from the way your mom took you to Weight Watchers and took you, you know, to charm school and took you here and took it. So that’s the mind receiving that message, maybe not through the words of you’re ugly, but rather the action of taking you to these things. And then your the mind is very powerful, it’s very smart, and it bridges the gap with what it knows, right? It closes get the gap. As a life coach, I know this to be true. So it forms some belief systems before the age of seven that kind of stay with us throughout our life, right? And and they they promote these thoughts in our heads, and then thoughts promote feelings, and then feelings we react to them, and that’s why we live in the circumstances that we live in. I could relate because growing up, I didn’t believe myself to be beautiful enough because I was bullied in high school, and by boys and girls alike. I had a boy that invited me to the homecoming dance only to tell me two days before the dance that he couldn’t take me because his grandmother had gotten sick. When the truth was, he decided to ask another girl to the dance. And so I had been his second choice, right? And that belief got formed early on, and that actually projected and impacted my relationships in my marriages and relationships with men throughout my life. Um, I was I didn’t feel beautiful enough so that in freshman year after the year, because I started getting bullied in in front in freshman year. Um, my sophomore year, when I came back, I had had rhinoplasty done because I didn’t like how my nose looked because people had made fun of me. And I thought that that would solve the problem. And my my parents thought that that would solve that anger inside of me. Well, the anger had begun had begun from years before, but you know, that was uncovered in therapy when I was 21. I’m 51 now. So you guys can do the math. Look how look how long it takes us to uncover these things, but how much time goes by and how we the choices we make are impacted by the belief systems we carry at our core and their lies because it’s just the mind had no filter and it had to bridge the gap based on the limited knowledge it had, and it bridged it with very negative information. Our negative critic is always in us because we hear we start hearing that negative critic when we start being told that we can’t do stuff. Because when we’re born, we are born fearless, right? We we start learning how to crawl and walk, and until we get at the first, oh my gosh, it’s gonna evolve kind of fear. We don’t understand fear until that point. So I want you guys to understand that it’s very natural, it’s very normal for this to happen. What’s not okay to continue happening is to continue in these cycles of negative chatter because this is very toxic to you mentally, very toxic to you spiritually, very toxic to you physically, emotionally. It drains you completely. It drained me completely. I fucked this for years, for years and years and years, and my moment came just like you on your knees. My moment came when I faced six doctors in a medical room, and they basically told my family I had an 80% chance of dying, and that’s when I knew the code to surrender, and I begged God to give me a second chance, and if I received my second chance, I was gonna devote my life to him, and it didn’t happen linearly, just like you. It it those moments are you know when we when we finally surrender and we say, I’ve had enough. We start the process, but sometimes our mind wants to take us back. Now tell us a little bit how you broke past that mind chatter, because I bet your mind tried to bring you back to your old identity, right, Jackie?
Oh, yeah. Um, well, I wrote a book, and do you can you imagine how much chatter I had? I mean, it doesn’t go away. I will tell you that. I wish I could say, yeah, you know, do my read my book, ABCs, it goes away. My book has tools because you have to use tools, and I use tools. So, for example, imposter syndrome. And I think like 82% of people suffer from imposter syndrome, especially if you’re more successful, you’re more prone to because you’re taking risks. And so I had to work at I I had to uh face it, and but but understanding that it was abusive was as I said the first key, you know, awareness. And so sometimes, like, uh, oh, this is funny. I just ordered my books from Amazon, and and as soon as I ordered my book, because it’s gonna be it’s uh releasing in November 19th, and as soon as I saw that, this feeling of, oh my god, your books are gonna come and there’s gonna be all kinds of typos in it, and it nobody’s gonna like it. And now people are gonna review it and it’s gonna be horrible. And I literally laughed, you know. I literally said, I’m writing this book about abusive rain shadow, and you’re showing up now, you know, and so that’s the way. I treat my abusive brain chatter. Listen, I had my you know, I was aware, okay, I know you’re trying to protect me, you don’t want me to fail, and you don’t want people to laugh at me, but I had my book edited three times, and I think there’s you know, there may be one or two typos, but but my book is good. I I’ve put in the work, and two, this is based on my life and the stories of my clients, and I’m offering tools, so there’s no imposter here. And three, this is my time, this is what I was made to do. You my higher power showed me that this is why my light is shining, this is why I overcame this, so that I could help other people. So I just leaned in on my spirituality and I said, Okay, I’m leaving it up to you if I sell one book or I sell a hundred books. It doesn’t matter. If that one book reaches that one person who suffered like I did, and they suddenly realize that they don’t have abusive brain chatter, then it’s all for the good. But I will tell you that it again, that’s why you we have to continue to work, we have to continue to be aware because it pops up, and as you said, it’s there to protect me. I learned that when I when I started dialoguing with it and and all of that, it’s like you know, it it protected me from um any pain from putting myself out there. I mean, I I never had a I never got thought I had a great job. I never, you know, I used to work 60 hours to feel like I was worthy of 40 hours. My sisters were all very successful. I always said, Well, I’m the weak one, I don’t like money. I had a very bad money mindset. And suddenly, after I started doing this work, I started looking at my abusive brain chatter in every part of my life. My money mindset. What is my abusive brain chatter telling me? That I’m not good enough, that I don’t deserve money, and that money’s bad. And I had to say, and that and that was because it I didn’t think I could succeed. That was my fear, it was keeping me afraid. Don’t go out there and try to open your own business, don’t do that. So I started challenging it a little bit. Okay, you know, maybe, and I tell people, you know, if you’re stuck at a dead end job and you just are afraid, and you have that voice telling you, well, I better not quit because I’ll never find anything as good. Just go through indeed, go through the one ads, go through and just start circling things you like that maybe you never even thought you had skills for. No one says you have to leave that job, but start challenging that. Start challenging that belief. I challenged the belief that I was weak and vulnerable because of my asthma by joining a uh 5k uh a uh what are those? The th the marathons where you go in the water, you swim, you run. Um the triathlon, right? Yeah, the so I I challenged that belief by by going be joining a triathlon. And here’s the thing, folks. I came in last. Dead last. They were waiting for me at the gate as I came through the gate. The gates collapsed and they moved it off the street, let the traffic go through. And you know what? It didn’t matter because I challenged that belief, and I knew that any belief I wanted to challenge, I just had to take baby steps and I could challenge it. So that’s you know, that’s a thing with with uh abusive brain chatter, baby steps, so it doesn’t catch you.
Yes, I’m in complete and total agreement with that. Because, like anything in life, from the life coaching perspective, when you’re when you’re starting something new, you gotta do baby steps because the mind will deceive you. Halfway, like two weeks into the change, it’s going to the negative chatter will begin. It’ll try to get you off course, right? And the spiritual realm, like I’m faith-based, so I do believe in God and I’m a Christ follower. I do know that spiritual warfare occurs a great deal in that spiritual realm of things. That negative brain chatter, that’s the evil one trying to deceive you, saying, Oh, you can’t do that. You can’t do that. He’s the great deceiver, right? He’s the one that that lies to you constantly. And what you have is I’m a new person, and I don’t need to listen to this negative chatter anymore. I’m totally new, and that is a lie, and I’m not gonna believe you. And that’s what you need to do, and you need to take baby steps. So, one of the tips that I always share, two tips I want to share, is if you’re to really be self-aware, and and talk about this piece that that Jackie’s talked about for one day, just for a day, observe your thoughts. I just want you to observe them. Take a notebook with you, jot them down. No judgment, you don’t want to judge yourself, you just want to observe everything that’s happening to you and what thoughts come to you, and you’ll see when you write them down, and there’s a connection that happens in your brain when you write things down, okay? You’ll look at it and you’ll say, Oh my goodness, look at all this negative chatter. Where is all this coming from? And that’s where you can start that journey, that self-awareness journey. You can tap into your intuition, you can tap to God, He will share with you, reveal to you where that’s coming from. Because here’s here’s the concept that most people miss about uh the God concept. He sees everything, he has seen every single wound you have been through, things that you may not remember as a child, as a two-year-old or three-year-old, but it’s inside of you. He’s seen your parents’ wounds and their parents’ wounds, and when all this generational cycle is coming from. And he can reveal to you what you need to know about yourself in a way that’s loving for you to understand and that will empower you to move in the direction of your light. Because you’ll see the difference between the two identities. You’ll see the e this is what I talk about in my book, In Faith I Thrive, Finding Joy Through God’s Master Plan. I talk about the ego identity and the soul identity, and they’re always in conflict with each other, they are constantly battling each other out when you are faced with change constantly. You’re gonna feel this pull to do all this negative thing for yourself because it’s so such a big part of your programming, and then your soul is trying to pull you into your light, and you’re just like, I don’t even know where to go. And that’s where some of these tools help is to surround yourself with community that love you, that see your light. You want people around you because we’re not supposed to do this alone, guys. Alone sucks. Talk to people, talk to people that can help you. People like Jackie, people like myself. You know, you gotta find your tribe, you gotta find the people that are going to journey with you through this, right? Because it will take intentionality every single day, and do not, do not. This is one thing that I want to just emphasize over and over again. Give yourself grace. Changes require grace. This is not an easy thing to do to get up and to change your entire life around. It requires grace. And just stand back up. You if you miss a day that you were supposed to do X, Y, or Z, don’t beat yourself up. Beating yourself up is gonna keep you down. Whereas, empower yourself, look at your journey, look how far you’ve come. Look at your journey, and you’d be surprised what you see, and reward yourself with little things. It doesn’t have to be big rewards, you know. As women, we like our nails to get down or a pedicure or something. Something that says, I’m proud of you, you’ve come so far. You wrote a book, congratulations! You know, pat yourself on the back. We are our own worst critics. And I gotta tell you, I’ve spent a lot of time observing my family members, and I know where that lack of self-love comes from, just from observing. And I have tried to talk to my mom about it, but she doesn’t believe me when I tell her mom, when you talk to yourself like that, when you call yourself stupid or pendeja, like in Mexico, they have all these bad words, right? And she’ll she’ll make a small mistake, Jackie, and she’ll call herself the most ugly things. And she’s like, Oh, it doesn’t matter. I’m like, it doesn’t matter. Why would you call yourself that? I remember one time she was here at the house and she was coming to get some water for dad, and she dropped the the glass. It wasn’t even glass, it was a plastic cup, and it spilled everywhere. And I was just like, Oh mama got it, it’s no big deal. And she went on this tire, she called herself such ugly names because she made a mistake. But that comes from generations of like just watching people, you know, the parents. So self-awareness is key, grace is key, and habit stack is key. When you are making changes in your life, stack these habits, these new habits that you’re wanting to create in your life with something that brings you joy. Let me give you an example. So in 2020, I was super anxious, and it started to spill into my kids and to the parenting of my children. I didn’t want that because anxiety never helped me as a child, and it didn’t help me as an adult. It was really, really horrible. And I begged God to help me, and he said, You need to start doing some meditation. Directed me towards meditation, directed me towards a book called Finding Quiet by JP Moreland, who had come to the church to give a talk on journalized anxiety disorder. His book is phenomenal for those that are suffering from that. So I started to meditate five minutes because I have ADHD, and then I would like once I mastered five minutes, then I went on to 10 because I work better in fives, five, ten, fifteen, like that. But not everybody’s the same, right? So if you work better in three, so then just start, you know, zero to three, you know, whatever. You build it. I would stack it every morning with my habit of drinking one cup of coffee a day. Every time I drank coffee, I meditate. Once I was done with the meditation and I got better with my anxiety, I switched over from meditation to prayer. And it’s been that way for years. And it’s easier to do it because it brings you such joy to do it. It’s not a drag anymore, right? You’re you’re just wanting to stack it and and build baby steps at a time, one baby stat at a time. So these are the tools that you can use, and you can get Jackie’s book. And I’m sure there’s you said there were multiple tools there that people could use, right?
Yeah, yes. In fact, almost each chapter has a worksheet. Okay. So just as you said, I I swear you could have written this book. Everything you said, I have worksheets for. You know, be aware of what you’re saying, change that mindset, reward yourself, meditation. How can you listen to that power within if you don’t quiet your mind? If you’re showing food, alcohol, Netflix, all of those things, how can you quiet the mind? So I love your five minutes. My my my start is three, three minutes. I usually start with, but now it’s it’s much easier to go 30 minutes.
But I by the end of 2020, I was at an hour. I had up to an hour, and it felt so awesome. And my anxiety completely, nearly, because you with 20 to 25 minutes a day of meditation for those listening, you create new neural pathways in your brain. So these are new grooves that you’re creating, new new ways of thinking that you’re creating and behaving, because the thought is directly connected to the feeling that’s connected to the habit and pattern of behavior, right? All of these are all connected at the subconscious level. Now, the thought is a conscious ability of your mind, so that’s something that you do have control over. That’s why that technique of like observing your thoughts for a day is really important because you’re noticing quietly where those thoughts are coming from, why you get triggered. You stay curious with why did I get triggered by that? Like that doesn’t make sense. And then when you recruit other higher sources of power, in my case, God, he will reveal to you through people. Like I’ve only people on podcasts, and all of a sudden the answer comes through something they say. Okay, there it is. There’s the answer. Thank you. So, you know, if I wanted to get a copy of your book, Jackie, how do I do that? How do I get in contact with you?
Okay, so the book is going to launch. Uh, I don’t know when this is coming out, November 19th is the launch date. It’s gonna be on all platforms, uh, Amazon, Goodreads, uh Barnes and Noble. Um, and it is a workbook. Uh, so there are pages that you can fill out. I it will be on, in fact, I think it’s even on uh as an audio book now, but I always recommend the workbook because just like you said, it says today I’m gonna write down everything. Uh today I’m gonna change that thought and I’m gonna replace it with this thought. So it guides you through exactly what you were saying. So again, it’s called the silent bully, a journey from abusive brain chatter to self-love. And uh I hope that it really helps guide you back to that self-love because you know what I can say is it’s it’s not okay. It’s not okay to beat yourself up. You are, as you said, a child of God. You have a higher purpose. And when you shut yourself down like that, you’re not living your purpose. You know, in coaching we have that famous thing, what would you do if you could not fail? Right? The question we ask, what would you do if you could not fail? Well, this book helps you explore that because it opens you up to who you are. Yes, you can find me also on um Jackie Elliott’s. Well, my website is healing ABC. Healing A B C. And on there, my link tree, and I and I’m on um I’m also on uh not TikTok, but the other one, Twitter. Twitter. No, no, no, Instagram. I’m on Instagram and I have videos of me talking to my abusive brain chatter. So you can go see how I how I dialogue with it.
That’s wonderful. I’ll definitely be linking up with you on Instagram and uh purchasing your book when it does come out because I do like to support my guests on the podcast and uh and maybe gift the book to someone that needs it, uh, and that way I spread your message across, you know, across the country uh and across the world. This is how we can help each other when we co-collaborate, guys. For those listening, we can make light happen. We can make the you know, the impossible happen together. We all have gifts inside of us. We have this big bright light. Be a bright light, like like Jackie is. Get out there, do one baby step at a time. And for those listening, remember Matthew 5 14 to always be the light? You are unique, you are his child, you have his power inside of you. You are unstoppable. Don’t be afraid, don’t listen to that abusive negative chatter. Thank you so much, Jackie, for joining us on Release Doubt, Revealed Purpose.
