How to Self Comfort Using Your Inner Masculine Energy w/ Amy Lee Westervelt EP 44

Are you ready to reignite the tingly energy of your inner masculine lover? 

That's precisely what this episode is all about, with our guest, Amy Lee Westervelt. Together, we address the habit of seeking external validation instead of harnessing internal energy and how to navigate the feelings of jealousy and insecurity that can arise in relationships.

We also venture into the empowering realm of changing our inner voice. Get ready to tap into your inner masculine and create a protective and devoted voice within. 

In this episode, we also discuss:

  • the concept of self-sourcing, teaching you how to appreciate and receive compliments from your partner without relying on them for validation. 

 

  • how our expectations from our partners can set us up for failure and strategize ways to manage these situations better.

 

  • handling situations when your partner doesn't meet your expectations

 

  • the sometimes tumultuous seas of gender roles and communication


Our conversation will leave you brimming with tips on how to embark on this transformative journey to connect with your higher self.  So, buckle up for an enlightening ride on inner growth and self-empowerment.

[00:01:00] Shanenn Bryant: Welcome back to another episode of Top Self. I have the magnetic goddess with me, Amy Lee Westervelt. Thank you so much for joining. How are you?

[00:01:12] Amy Westervelt: Oh my gosh, I am so good and I'm so excited to hang out with you today.

[00:01:16] Shanenn Bryant: Uh, me too. And I was talking to you and telling you, like, I'm going to be totally curious today. We spoke a little bit, a couple times now, before jumping on here. And I'm just totally... curious and loving what you have to talk about. And so, one of them, the masculine lover within, right?

[00:01:36] Shanenn Bryant: You talk about that. So tell us what you do and tell us about the masculine lover.

[00:01:42] Amy Westervelt: Oh my goodness. You guys are in for something so delicious. So hi, I'm Amy Lee. I call myself a mystic, a mentor, mother, goddess, all the things. I have five little kids, live outside of Savannah, have a husband, all those fun things. but, what I specialize in is helping women to reconnect to their inner masculine lover.

[00:02:04] Amy Westervelt: And the way we do this is through a process that I created, called Aerogetics. And so Aeros is a root word. It's one of the words that means love. You've heard love, agape, all these other words. Aeros is like the sexier version of love. It's more of that like impulse of like, Ooh, it's that feeling you feel when the quarterback looks at you in high school and you're the cheerleader, it's the feeling you feel that first date when he texts you and he's like, I'd love to see you again.

[00:02:31] Amy Westervelt: Right? That's the erudite impulse. And so what I find is that most women tend to, especially as we get older, right? Like full disclosure, I'm 40. Um, so as we get older, we tend to lose that connection to that, tingly energy, right? Like we're married, we have kids, or maybe we're just like, uh, you know, I've already been divorced twice.

[00:02:59] Amy Westervelt: And we kind of just assume that that part of us is just. You know, we're going to live vicariously through movies or when our kids grow up and all these things. And this is like a total lie. Um,

[00:03:11] Shanenn Bryant: Like we're never going to have that first kiss feeling again?

[00:03:15] Amy Westervelt: Yeah. We're never going to have that. We're never going to have that.

[00:03:18] Amy Westervelt: Like I could stay up all night and just talk to you. We could walk on the beach until the sun rises. Like all of a sudden, we're like, well, I'm going about, it's nine 30, you know, like, of wine. And the reason for that is because we become disconnected from this aerogenic impulse. And so when we become disconnected.

[00:03:35] Amy Westervelt: This is where the aging starts. This is where we start, to look older than we are. This is where the disease happens, and you hear about women having hysterectomies and all because we're no longer cycling energy through the system. We're just getting energy from wherever we can get it. So now instead of making the energy internally, Like we were and we were like lit up from the inside out.

[00:03:58] Amy Westervelt: We are looking for it in our partner. We're looking for it in our clients. We're looking for it at work. We're looking for this external validation when we used to make it from the inside. You'll notice I mean Teenagers aren't like, I just wish I had more friends, you know, like, I just, like, they don't have that, that need, that pulling that we have as grownups where we're all of a sudden, like, I don't measure up.

[00:04:24] Amy Westervelt: Teenagers, by and large, in, in their own societal constructs, they still have those, those disconnects, but it's not, it's not a lack. It's not the same. 

[00:04:34] Shanenn Bryant: Well, and what you're saying I love because it's going to these outside sources and a big part of sometimes when we're jealous and we're insecure is we're looking for our partner to make us feel better and then we start going down that that track, especially if we've been with somebody for a long time of, well, you used to do this and we used to do this and I would feel this way.

[00:04:56] Shanenn Bryant: Right. All coming from like, you have to provide that to me. And you're saying no, that's out the way we always did it. And we're falling into that trap.

[00:05:06] Amy Westervelt: exactly, like, case in point, when you first started dating someone and you went to his bachelor pad and it was disgusting and there was nasty pizza, what did you want to do? You wanted to put on your cute little apron and clean it up for the guys and order them food for the football game and it was like, you guys are just so cute playing house, right?

[00:05:27] Amy Westervelt: Fast forward to now you're married to this guy and you're like, what the heck? And your shoes are on the floor and your socks are in the, you know, whatever you leave the toilet seat up. And so suddenly what used to be mysterious, and I don't really care because it's not my space. Now, all of a sudden it's like, Oh my God.

[00:05:44] Amy Westervelt: Like, We're constantly clawing at the energy of our partner at the end of the day. Like, Oh my gosh, I had the worst day and I just need you to rub my feet.

[00:05:53] Amy Westervelt: And I just, that's their version of that. It's like, what happened to that sexy woman who walked into my room with high heels on and was just like, Oh my gosh, like guys, check, I gotta go, like I'm going, I'm getting laid, you know, like raw energy was there. So where did it go?

[00:06:11] Shanenn Bryant: Well, I, so to stop you, I am, you said, okay, you're 40. I am turning 50 in two months from now. And what I have found myself doing recently that I just had to check myself and go. Okay, Shanenn, stop doing that is telling my husband all my ailments and everything going on with me like he's my girlfriend.

[00:06:33] Shanenn Bryant: You know what I mean? Cause he's just always there. And so it's like, oh, you know, this is happening and oh, I noticed this today. And so those, those things, I feel like. It's, it is one of those where I didn't do that before. I mean, now granted, I'm noticing more things and there's more to talk about than when I was in my thirties, that's for sure.

[00:06:54] Shanenn Bryant: But I wasn't doing that before. And so now I think that we've settled in and we've been together for so long, and he's just there every day. I'm, I'm doing that, and I had to catch myself and go, oh, stop doing that. But my question too is, Where's the balance, though? Because they're supposed to be our friends and the people that we lean on, so how much of that is not good?

[00:07:18] Shanenn Bryant: How, like, how do we stay balanced in

[00:07:20] Amy Westervelt: Let's be careful calling it good or bad because it just is and, and how it impacts us or how it makes our lives better or easier, you know, harder or easier is really what we're looking at here. So we never want to make ourselves wrong for any decision or any way that we're looking at something. That's a really big part of this.

[00:07:36] Amy Westervelt: but I think what it comes down to, and we talked about the inner masculine. So inside of all of us. We have an inner voice, yours might be your mother. Mine was my mother for a very long time. Like, oh, you haven't done this yet. How come you haven't done this? Look at all the stuff in the closet that you said you were going to put on Poshmark that you didn't.

[00:07:53] Amy Westervelt: You know, like you have a stain on your tooth. Like, all of those things become our inner voice. And that's kind of like the inner voice that we lead with. So, what if you take that inner voice, and you change it. Like if you're reading a book, let's say you're reading Harry Potter and you saw the movies before you're reading Harry Potter.

[00:08:11] Amy Westervelt: You can read Harry Potter's voice in Daniel Radcliffe's voice. You can hear their voices in your head, so you know how to take a voice and transmute it. So, what I've created is a way for us to tap into that masculine core of us. Give him a voice and have him be the one that we lean on, him be the one that protects us, that is devoted to us.

[00:08:36] Amy Westervelt: So, by the time we get to our partner... We've already dealt with that. So, we'll give you an example. I went to a party the other day at my neighbor's house. And as soon as we got there, my husband found his buddies and he was hanging out with them. And I know my neighbor, but I don't, I'm not in her girlfriend group and my kids went all over the place.

[00:08:52] Amy Westervelt: And so here I am by myself and I'm like, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh. And like, I just sat there, and I was like, okay. And I let my inner voice, which I've now trained to be the masculine voice that I need to be like, it's okay. I've got you. I'm here with you. We're going to take a deep breath. We're going to get into our body.

[00:09:12] Amy Westervelt: Okay, you're fine. You're not, there's nothing to panic about. Your husband's having fun. Let him have fun. He never gets to see the guys. What can you do right now to make yourself feel better? Which is very different than what the hell's wrong with you. How come you can't just let you know? And it's like, and that would be the old voice.

[00:09:28] Amy Westervelt: So allowing that intermasculine to support me now, instead of me being chip on my shoulder at my husband, like we got there and the first thing you did was leave me and go with your friends. And, you know, because that's, that is in response to how I feel, but I've recognized that I can change how I feel without even having to involve him.

[00:09:48] Amy Westervelt: And that. 

[00:09:49] Shanenn Bryant: have the conversation.

[00:09:52] Amy Westervelt: You don't even know how I felt the other day. I didn't go climb into his arm or try to get between him and his friend, which are all things that I used to do. I used to do that. I used to be like, and you never do, and you never watch TV with me and blah, blah, blah. And it was just like, now it's like, he's like, hey babe, can I do anything for you?

[00:10:11] Amy Westervelt: Do you need anything? And also because I've gotten to the point where I appreciate what he does for me.

[00:10:20] Amy Westervelt: And like that, you know, like the things that he wants to do, he wants to do more. So instead of having that resentment of like, and you didn't ever, I'm like, Oh my gosh, like he did this one thing. Cause I don't need it anymore. I'm so self self sourced that everything else is a bonus. Does that make sense?

[00:10:38] Shanenn Bryant: Yeah. So the self-sourced piece, we're not saying, I don't need my partner anymore. I don't need this person anymore. It is just, let me tap into this piece of me let me think of things differently and think differently. You know, what else might I be able to calm myself down or how else can I look at this situation?

[00:11:02] Shanenn Bryant: I don't always have to go straight to what I think or who I think should be giving me back whatever it is that I feel like I'm lacking. Is that?

[00:11:12] Amy Westervelt: Exactly. Yeah. So it's like completing on the inside and letting your partner be the compliment

[00:11:18] Shanenn Bryant: Mm hmm.

[00:11:19] Amy Westervelt: of the completed person. Yes.

[00:11:21] Shanenn Bryant: Yeah. Yeah. So how can we tap into this? Like, especially if we're just starting because, you know, the, the, the inner voice is very ingrained in us, especially if we haven't, you know, we're just kind of on autopilot. We're not even some of us paying attention to our inner voice or realizing, Hey, that's where that's coming from.

[00:11:43] Shanenn Bryant: So, what are some ways that we can begin to change that?

[00:11:50] Amy Westervelt: So we have an inner voice. We have a higher self and that higher self is always ready to give us guidance. The problem is we hear it in our own voice. And so we think it's just us. We think it's an agenda. We think it's, Oh, I'm just saying that. 

[00:12:06] Amy Westervelt: So, when you first start doing this, it's going to feel like a lie.

[00:12:09] Amy Westervelt: You're going to say something and be like, was that just me that said that? And no, it wasn't. It was your subconscious mind. It was that part of you. So if I was to say to you, Shanenn, What if you, if you were to know what is one message that your higher self has for you right now, if you were to know pressures off, if you were to know what might it be,

[00:12:30] Shanenn Bryant: Um, that, uh, to put my energy into serving, 

[00:12:35] Amy Westervelt: okay, 

[00:12:35] Shanenn Bryant: can do that,

[00:12:37] Amy Westervelt: okay. That you can put your energy 

[00:12:39] Amy Westervelt: into 

[00:12:39] Amy Westervelt: serving. 

[00:12:39] Shanenn Bryant: do it. Mm hmm.

[00:12:40] Amy Westervelt: Okay. So if you think that voice that, that just was probably, was ethereal voice and you turn it into someone that, does it for you. So like Jason Mamoa or, uh,

[00:12:50] Shanenn Bryant: Right.

[00:12:51] Amy Westervelt: Jamie Dornan or somebody like that. Right. Uh, what's the one that everybody likes Henry Cavill.

[00:12:56] Shanenn Bryant: 

[00:12:56] Amy Westervelt: And now imagine that same thing that you just said in your mind, but say it in his voice.

[00:13:01] Shanenn Bryant: Oh, interesting. Yeah. I can already hear that difference. 

[00:13:06] Amy Westervelt: And you may also notice that you feel a resonance in your body because you're connecting to that polarity, that masculinity. And so you're like, I just felt that in my spine. I just felt that, you know, in, in a part of you, not necessarily, it's really not sexual. It's so beyond sexual. It's like full body.

[00:13:25] Amy Westervelt: So you'll feel that kind of like in those tingly parts, like, I don't even know. You ever watch a movie and you're just. I feel like a lot of women have this with what's that show Highland Outlander Outlander is the show that all the women watch.

[00:13:39] Shanenn Bryant: I don't know. I'm not familiar.

[00:13:40] Amy Westervelt: I don't know. They just, they're like head over heels in love with whoever this guy is,

[00:13:43] Amy Westervelt: but they just, you get obsessed with it and you're just like, Oh my gosh, I can't stop thinking about this character and how he is.

[00:13:49] Amy Westervelt: And that's why we all read Snot, right? Because we're just like, this character is just like, Oh, like he's my book boyfriend. And it's because it's actually affecting your body. So the first step of this is just to get in devotion, just to sit there and listen and ask and say, Hey, are you in there? 

[00:14:06] Amy Westervelt: And it'll be like, yeah, I'm in here.

[00:14:08] Amy Westervelt: I've been in here the whole time or whatever it says. And then you'd be like, what do I need to know right now? I don't know.

[00:14:16] Shanenn Bryant: So out of curiosity, because I think it's great and I could hear it and I could feel the difference. So a hundred percent, I feel like that's a really good exercise that you just walked me through, like just a really quick one, but so, but my question is, especially if we're saying women are powerful, women are, you know, we can be powerful, those types of things.

[00:14:38] Shanenn Bryant: Why is it the man's voice? Instead of female. I 

[00:14:42] Amy Westervelt: Good question. 

[00:14:43] Shanenn Bryant: think that's important. Yeah.

[00:14:44] Amy Westervelt: It is. It's a beautiful question. And thank you for asking. So we're not looking at this as better than we're looking at this from the perspective of feminine energy and masculine energy. Feminine energy says this is what I want. Go out and get it. 

[00:14:59] Amy Westervelt: Masculine energy says, tell me what you want and I'll go out and get it.

[00:15:03] Amy Westervelt: So what we're doing is we're tapping into the energy that is here to provide. So if you think of it, like we are an iceberg, And the top half of us. is the feminine energy and the part below the surface is the masculine energy. So, we're not all or we're not one or the other. We're just this one in the 3d and this one in the 5d, like there's another aspect of us, the consciousness, right?

[00:15:28] Amy Westervelt: So not that we're asking him like, please, can I have it's more like we're tapping into Like, we're asking the right department for the right thing, 

[00:15:39] Amy Westervelt: right? And so for a woman, I mean, like, you know, if you're a heterosexual woman, why not a female that you want to sleep with? That's the same question, right?

[00:15:49] Amy Westervelt: Like, because that's the activation energy. It's not about feminism or whatever the man version of that is. Uh, it's, it's not about that. It's about recognizing that a woman wants to feel supported. She wants to feel safe to surrender. She wants to feel. So, okay, let's look at this. If you go back to like caveman days.

[00:16:14] Amy Westervelt: females, Like their role in society was to make as many more people as they could. It wasn't to have good conversation. It wasn't to, you know, break glass ceilings. It was to ogamoga until they made enough people. So from a biological perspective, a female at that time is going to look for the masculine specimen.

[00:16:38] Amy Westervelt: That's going to be the best, the one that's going to survive. And so ecologically, they're going to look for the one that can, what can provide. So they're going to say, Hey, I want this. I want, you know, uh, this tiger pelt in our cave. And I want this, you know, I want you to move this rock. And the one that is able to do that is going to be the one that wins the girl.

[00:16:58] Amy Westervelt: So there is that sense of competition and she's going to do everything she can to test him to see if he's worthy of that dominance, right? So at our core, we want a man to lead us. We do. I don't care what society says. Society can stuff it, right? They have their agendas for why they don't want women to believe this.

[00:17:18] Amy Westervelt: But if you ask like a hundred women, like, who do you want to lead in the bedroom? And by the way, I've done this. 99 percent of them are like, I wish my husband would take more lead. I wish my husband would tell me what we're doing. I wish my partner, I want a partner who's going to, you don't know how many women are looking for a dominant partner and there just aren't that many of them because men have become so emasculated by society.

[00:17:42] Amy Westervelt: So this inner core person that's going to protect you, that you're going to feel like you can relax into safety to tell him your desires to give him. You know, the, the, the power to provide what you desire, you're going to bet that you're going to want it to be someone that you feel comfortable being led by.

[00:18:01] Amy Westervelt: And if it's like someone with Tweety Bird's voice, that's not going to fly.

[00:18:04] Shanenn Bryant: you touched on something really important because part of the reason we're feeling like at times where we are making all the plans, we are crossing all the T's, dotting all the I's, we're into all the details of everything when it comes to our family and household.

[00:18:22] Shanenn Bryant: And that's how most of us run. So I, I hear you when you say, Okay. We do want a lot of times a man to go, Hey, here's the plan for this weekend. Like, here's the plan. This is what we're doing tonight for dinner. This is what I, you know, this is what we're doing.

[00:18:38] Amy Westervelt: Right. Like when I get home, I want you in bed with no, you know, with no underwear on and the kids are a babysitter and like that's it. Yes, sir. Whatever you say, like 99 percent of women are like, yes, please.  but that's biological. We want to feel that if I'm going to bring my seed into the world, you're going to make sure it doesn't get eaten by a mountain lion.

[00:19:01] Shanenn Bryant: Right. Yeah. Yeah, we want that safety. We want that protection and we're looking to see who can do that Yeah,

[00:19:07] Amy Westervelt: 100%.

[00:19:09] Shanenn Bryant: love it. Well, thank you for that explanation because I didn't want I didn't want anyone to think like well Why does it have to be? You know the man's voice and why are we saying like in a way of women can't be that and be powerful and do it But I think that's a good Way of us doing it for ourselves, right?

[00:19:26] Shanenn Bryant: In the 

[00:19:26] Amy Westervelt: Oh yeah. 

[00:19:27] Shanenn Bryant: like the example that you explained, let me handle this on my own because it's just a conversation and that, that inner voice change that I need to have,

[00:19:37] Amy Westervelt: Absolutely. And it gives you so much clarity. I mean, clients will come to me. I had one the other day who was like, I had to go see my parents. I can't stand my parents, but my inner masculine was like, babe, I'll be there with you. Like, you're not going to be alone. She's like, I'm never alone. He's always there.

[00:19:54] Amy Westervelt: And again, it's, yes, it's us. Yes. It's totally our inner voice, but I got to tell you, like having that inner dialogue instead of the other. It's a whole different ballgame. Imagine being followed around by Christian Grey versus some tiny little version of your mother that is on one of her, you know, rants.

[00:20:14] Shanenn Bryant: right? Right, right. Yeah. I was just talking to my husband and he has a really bad habit you know, the, the, the clothes next to the hamper or my favorite where he'll set, set trash on the counter instead of like, Okay.

[00:20:29] Shanenn Bryant: His arm could probably reach to the trash can. So you were giving the example before, like when we were first dating and if that happened, we wouldn't really say anything and like, Oh, we would almost take it as this, like, Oh, let me clean up the love that I cleaned up his kitchen for him but then.

[00:20:46] Shanenn Bryant: Where does it come into play? Like, okay, be my partner and help out in this situation. So again, trying to balance, someone just going, well, I'm just going to leave this all, they're going to do it without any complaint because I've trained my inner voice now to be like, that's okay, it's this, and kind of go back to the giddy part.

[00:21:07] Shanenn Bryant: So how do we balance that?

[00:21:08] Amy Westervelt: That's a great question. So I've got a couple of things to say on that. First of all, if you've ever read the book, The Queen's Code by Alison Armstrong, she talks about this specifically. And she says that if you think about all the things that make your husband or your partner not measure up, it's like, well, he doesn't pick up after himself and he doesn't have attention to detail and he doesn't all these things.

[00:21:29] Amy Westervelt: And then you look at those against like, what would the ideal husband look like? if he was the perfect partner, you quickly realize that you're looking for your partner to be a woman. You're looking for someone who's going to pay attention to detail, who's going to be like, I care about the sock on the floor.

[00:21:48] Amy Westervelt: You're looking for that. And that's the opposite of what attracted you to your partner in the first place. Now, the second piece I want to say to that is Byron Katie talks about this. She was on a podcast. I'm sure she has it in her stuff. I've tried to look it up separately, but I found it's the best explained in a Marie Forleo podcast where she talks about, someone who leaves the toilet seat up and she says, who really cares if the toilet seats up you or your partner?

[00:22:15] Amy Westervelt: And it's like, well, I do. Okay. Well, when you go to your partner and tell them, you left the toilet seat down, like all of that extra angst and all of that energy. But like at the end of the day, who really cares you do. So if what you really want is the toilet seat to be down. Put the damn toilet seat down, right?

[00:22:33] Amy Westervelt: Like, like all the angst you're causing yourself and getting upset and getting angry and all these things. It's like you, it doesn't even take you a second to do it, it's when you read into it. And then it's like, you know, Oh, well he left his trash on the counter. Okay. Well, what about that time that the car had a flat tire?

[00:22:51] Amy Westervelt: Did he come to you and say, Hey, you left the car with no air in that? No, he just fricking changed it. Right? For the time that he ran the gas, he ran the car. Like there's so many things men aren't good at pointing them out. They just do them because that lights them up to reciprocate that way. But women, we've got like a notebook and then yesterday I did this and you left a dish on the counter and it's just, we're different creatures.

[00:23:16] Amy Westervelt: And to insinuate that we're supposed to behave the same is setting everybody up for failure.

[00:23:22] Shanenn Bryant: Love your response to that because this is one thing especially in a situation like you talked about earlier you and your husband you go to a party or you go to an event and then off they are talking to people and the woman feels ignored or they're sitting together at a a bar or restaurant and there are other people around and their spouse has turned and talking to other people and they feel like, Oh, they're not connecting with me.

[00:23:49] Shanenn Bryant: They're not talking. Put your hand on their knee. Like if you want that contact, put your hand on their leg or their knee and see what happened. Like, so just as you were saying, like, if you want that, it's okay, you can go ahead and do it. And it doesn't mean anything about. Oh, they love you less because they didn't think to do it or they didn't do it themselves.

[00:24:12] Shanenn Bryant: Like if that's something you want, go fulfill that. Just do it.

[00:24:16] Amy Westervelt: Right. And, you know, to think of this from a hypothetical perspective, and I want to be very clear, this is hypothetical. This is one of those analogies that Amy Lee makes to prove a point, but it wouldn't work in real life. Let's just say that you had several husbands, okay? And you've got all these husbands, and one of them is not paying attention to you.

[00:24:33] Amy Westervelt: What do you do? You go give attention to one of the other ones. So you don't necessarily have the attachment to the attention of one because you've got these other ones. Well, that's how Energetics works because you can go internally and get attention internally that then validates you to the point where your husband's going to turn around and go, babe, you okay?

[00:24:55] Amy Westervelt: And you're like, yeah, I'm great. I'm having a great time. You know, like you're, you're glowing, you're magnetizing. He's the one who's going to be like, excuse me, guys. I haven't really given my wife any attention, babe. How are you doing? Like, that's what we see with this work. And I know it's like, Oh, you know, like, so what you're telling me, I need to talk to myself.

[00:25:12] Amy Westervelt: Well, yes. And no, what I'm telling you is that when you can create the climate of wholeness Everything you desire will magnetize to you. The money, the partner, the, the, the sex, the affection, all of those things. And I know this because I've been doing this with clients for a while now. I've done it in my own life and it

[00:25:34] Amy Westervelt: works 

[00:25:35] Shanenn Bryant: you've given us a little bit. Anything else that we need to know or think about or exercise that we can do to start to put this into practice?

[00:25:44] Amy Westervelt: I think the first thing is going to be devotion. We're talking about women, myself included, maybe yourself included. Who have literally come from a place of utter resentment. We live in the identity of, I need to do it myself. I'll figure it out. Don't worry about it. Like we're so afraid to even make our desires known because there's a vulnerability in that.

[00:26:05] Amy Westervelt: So the first step of this is we've got to come to the table ready to be vulnerable. We've got to be able to sit down and say, okay, I'm ready. I'm ready to tell you what I desire. Again, it's the internal masculine. It's that part of us. I'm ready to listen. 

[00:26:22] Amy Westervelt: And so. Really getting serious about that devotion is the first piece, and I would argue that once you start doing that, you're going to start to see those shifts pretty quickly, and if you're not getting the guidance of what to do next, you know, you can certainly reach out, and I can, I can support you in that way, but I would say that's going to be your first step.

[00:26:44] Shanenn Bryant: Okay. if somebody did want to reach out to you, Amy, where would they go? How can they connect with you?

[00:26:50] Amy Westervelt: Yeah, so they can go to aerogenics. com to learn more about this particular thing, um, or they can go to amyleewestervelt.com and all my programs and stuff will be listed there.

[00:27:00] Shanenn Bryant: Yes, and you have a beautiful IG. Uh, your grid is amazing,

[00:27:05] Amy Westervelt: Oh my god, I had to be walked through that, literally. She's like, okay, this one here, put this one here.

[00:27:11] Shanenn Bryant: I mean, yeah, talk about giving the essence of a goddess. It is, it is, you've nailed it, so.

[00:27:19] Amy Westervelt: Shanenn, you're so sweet. And I look forward to having you in my show speaking of Magnetic Goddess. I am so excited to have you on there too.

[00:27:26] Shanenn Bryant: Yes, I can't wait. And thank you so much for being on Top Self I know that people are going to be, really wanting to, to look you up and get connected with you. So, thank you so much for sharing all your wisdom today.

[00:27:39] Shanenn Bryant: Absolutely. Thanks so much for having me Thanks.
