Friends, without further ado, please join me in welcoming Sue Elliot. Welcome, Sue. Thank you, Jim. It's a joy to be with you. You know, I am so happy that we were able to get this done and so quickly. I shouldn't say done, scheduled so quickly and I really do appreciate that. Could you do everyone a favor and maybe tell us a little bit about. about yourself? Sure. Well, I used to be a pretty normal person, like you said, I used to. You think you can create car rights, right? Very much in air quotes, right? As if there's such a thing as normal. Right, right. But I didn't always talk to angels, right. So I was a car magazine editor for much of my career. Before that, I'd actually been a business magazine editor and I was a spokesperson for the automotive after market. You know. I was covering drag racing. and you know, right, crawling around in garages telling people how to do different things to their vintage cars. So I was about as, you know, in the real world as you could get and I was also on a parallel journey of personal development, personal growth, spiritual. Not exactly awakening because I never forgot. Like I came into this life knowing that we each had what I thought of as like a spark of the divine inside of us. And fortunately for me, nobody talked me out of that when I was a kid. So I was able to make it true life still believing I was connected to the divine. But I was very much in cause and effect reality, right? You do, I need to make things happen. And I was good at doing the magazine thing, right? Like I, I did it long enough. You'd think that you had to be pretty good. But the last magazine I launched, the personal transformation magazine, really began the part of my training of doing work a different way. Like I was always following my heart. I wasn't interested in business magazines. I was really into cars, so I started working on car magazines. And then I moved to the Napa Valley and I was really into restaurants and chefs, and that's when Food Network was kind of new and chefs were the new rock stars. So I started creating Chef Recipe Food Magazines, because I loved that. personal transformation journey so to be able to create a personal transformation magazine was like a dream come true and the funny thing is the company that I worked with changed owners and changed names many times over the years as so many corporations do it was Peterson publishing in the beginning they launched they launched the car magazine publishing world they launched hot rod and then motor trend okay that company and then they were named e-map and then they were prime media and by the time I launched the personal transformation magazine they were called source for short. So source was publishing the Transformation magazine. That's pretty cool. But it really demanded that I walk my talk all day. Like I could get stressed out with deadlines and all that stuff that you have in magazines doing the other magazines. But I knew if I got stressed out doing this personal transformation magazine that energy was going into the magazine and these readers would feel it. And so, So I had to start managing my energy more as I was doing the work and being more mindful of and I also was working with a different kind of contributor. So these were coaches, healers, you know experts of various forms of personal transformation who weren't writers. And so it was also like coaxing out the really good stuff from them. So going back and forth a lot of time. So it was a more collaborative part of the journey too. at home, I felt really connected with people and connected with source. That's very cool. That's very cool. And I can, I hear what you're saying, especially from the working from home. I've been doing that for a number of years myself, so I get it. And then when you have the opportunity to collaborate with somebody, it's exciting and it's fresh. It's, I know that may be hard for some people to understand because you know, oh, you're, oh, you're doing doing the same thing every day but you're not because each person has a different insight or a different perspective on things and going down those paths with people is is really neat I bet you learned a lot during that time about yourself and others for sure yes always I mean that's always said that's just how I'm built as and and angels are saying like forever that's the way I've always been as a soul that's how I am I am about understanding interpersonal dynamics and the way things influence and affect people and so that's it's a big part of who I am which is why I was chosen to write this book with the angels that's very cool and speaking of the book In your book you had mentioned that the work is subtraction not addition you know spiritual growth isn't acquiring new skills or practices it's removing What was layered on top of the real you and the reason that resonates with me? Because I had I think from the last time we spoke my book actually released. Did I just have a spiritual? or is it something I ate. It's right behind me, the picture of the book cover. And I make a very similar reference to that, but yours is probably, well yours isn't probably, it is different because I view it from this perspective where, for example, somebody says, well, I don't know that I like the new you. And I just said, well, here's the thing. I can appreciate your perspective or your feelings on that however I don't think that it is a new me I think it's the old me that is being the rediscovered not built up so that's that's interesting can you can you let's I want to hear you talk about your perspective on that place I love this so we do the angels and I we of a remembering and less of a learning. Right. And it's because it's reconnecting you with the truth of who you are. And when we say that, we mean as a higher self or a soul or the essence of who you are lifetime after lifetime. And so the subtractive part, right, the getting rid of part, is what we call gunk. Yes. Like technical terms. And that is just limiting beliefs, rules you made for yourself when you were three years old. that made perfect sense to a three-year-old. You know, subconscious programming, which is rampant on the planet. So each of us come in for this amazing little being and even before we're born while we're in utero, we start picking up the rules to live by. Dr Bruce Lifton talks about how, you know, we come in and for the first seven years we have no filter. We just take it all in X truth and rules and it becomes the subconscious programming that helps run the show behind the We're habit-making machines because there's so much information coming in every second. I think it's something like two billion bits of information come in just through our eyes every second. So now, like the news are picking stuff and your nose is picking up. What filters? Yeah, so the brain has to discern, right, our brains have to discern like what's important and what's not important so that we can make it through life without being distracted by every shiny thing. to my brain old. Yeah, and one of the pros and cons of that is we only see what we believe. So our subconscious programming becomes the filters through which we see reality. So all of that stuff becomes, Bruce Lipton likes to say, kind of locked in at seven, eight years old. And then we're not aware of it. It just is how the world is from our perspective and we assume everybody else has the same perspective. Nobody has. the same perspective by the way but that's a different thing. But what the angels and I do and what the book actually does for you unlike most self-help books the angels actually do a lot of the work through this book for you dissolving limiting beliefs, subconscious programming, the rules that we made for ourselves as kids that became programming, or all of those belief systems that are getting in the way. So if you believe it's a cold cruel world it's very hard, it's very hard to see somebody an act of kindness right in front of you. And if they you do see it you probably attribute some other motive to it, right? Like somebody holds. Scepicism associated with it, right? Yeah, somebody holds the door for you because your hands are full and they're like, look at that guy checking out my ass. What I don't know. You know? That happens to me all the time by the way. Oh my gosh. Sorry to side-trich you with that one. That was awesome. So you mentioned dissolving those limiting beliefs and in the book you talk about the angels being able to dissolve those limiting beliefs and in the book you talk about the angels being able to dissolve those things through attunements. The attunments that are said to dissolve those limiting beliefs on contact, which is really a lot different than what I think the popular point of view is where it's a it's your work. All the work is on you you better get started and what you're saying is that. they're going to take care of that for you. Is that, how does that come about? Let me, let me start with that. How does that come about? That's a great question. So most of the time it is the heavy lifting is on you, right? And most people will tell you that it's really hard to get rid of that stuff. The angels are here, the angels that I work with are here to help humanity rise up into a higher level of consciousness. And this is the work. So we're still on a free will planet. They are not going to impose even divine intent upon you. You get to choose every moment of every day. However, the minute you say angels, you know, dissolve this stuff for me, or you open up the book to a page. And so these are what we mean by angel attunements. They look kind of like angel cards. Right. Somebody was teasing me that this looks like a magazine. And I was like, well, of course it does. I did magazines for 30 years. But each of these combinations of words and pictures have been energetically attuned by the angels to dissolve the related programming for that. There are 63 short chapters and each one has an angel attuned to start and so they are going to meet you where you are. So they're going to dissolve whatever is in your space that you're ready to let go of. So we're not going to say it's one and done for all of these because in most cases that would leave too big of a gap in who I am and how I am and how I am and how I am and how I am and how I am and how I have I don't like to leave a vacuum without anybody. You're not trying to debilitate you. They're very gentle. So sometimes it's something that you don't have a lot of gun around and you look at at once and it really does. It is one and it is one and then. And sometimes it's a big thing that you've chosen to come into this lifetime to experience and so maybe there are a lot more layers of that onion. But every time you go there, it's going to pull away everything that you're ready to let go off. will planet and angels are very loving and kind and gentle so they're not going to rip things out of you that you're not ready to like them. And we say that because sometimes we have some identity wrapped up in things, you know, people belong to like support groups of different flavors or and so they don't want to strip you of your support system in the world if pulling everything related to that would do it. And they also don't want to strip you of your support system in the world. the world in terms of changing you so much all in one go that all of your relationships have to fall away. Right? There are you mentioned before there are people who are like I'm not sure I like the new you. Yeah. And that you know everybody on a spiritual transformation experience in this lifetime gets that. There's a time where we are no longer willing to contort ourselves or pretend to be or try to be who we had been trying to be before. That's exactly right and I think that that's Let's put it this way I know from first hand experience that it's I mentioned the heavy lifting that's heavy and for me it became quite literally a weight where trying to do all of these things. I mentioned the heavy lifting That's heavy and for me it became quite literally a weight where trying to do all of these things that was not who my authentic self is or was just added layers of weight. I mean literally got to almost 400 pounds. So I understand exactly what you're saying because that wasn't that wasn't a metaphor for me. That was lived. So I completely buy into that was wholeheartedly. two is you described your shift publicly as coming out of the spiritual closet and that phrase implies years of knowing something privately before saying it out loud so what was that like carrying you that weight or that awareness through boardrooms through editorial meetings? nesting closets. So, you know, he has. He has. He has. He has. There's another one. So, you know, the last magazine I did, it was pretty clear to everybody in the publishing company what I was about and who I was. I mean, I didn't walk around saying to everybody, hi, the angels want you to know. But by then. And the funny thing, funny, not funny, right? That was the most beloved magazine within the publishing company that I had done. Like, people were so sad. that magazine stopped. Like people I had never met would stop me in the hallway and say I'm really sorry about the magazine. Because it brought light and it brought joy and it brought more ease into people's lives because everybody in the company could get
