If making money was as simple as "doing all the things", most of us would have made it by now. We are all learning, applying, growing, and changing... but that's not the only piece to the puzzle of success.
There's a much deeper conversation that needs to be had about BEING in energetic alignment with what we truly want. How come it might feel like you can do the "right" things and not see progress... while others are doing the SAME things, and are growing immensely?
You might not even realize it, but your energy is the invisible force that's pushing you towards your dreams... or keeping you stuck.
And today, Lindsay Jani will share with us the secret to stepping into the energy of who we need to be, to get the results we truly want.
Lindsay Jani intuitively helps creatives & creators transform by helping them energetically & spiritually align with themselves by living into their inner-truth and what their soul knows. After nearly 20-years of deepening her own energetic and spiritual practices, she helps others learn how to heal and unblock their own energy and find the clarity, inspiration, and inner-knowing they need so they can thrive and fully enjoy living into their deeper purpose and life they were meant to live.

[00:03:03] I am so excited to have you here today to talk all about spirituality and energetics and all of the fond wbu stuff that goes with it. I'm so
[00:03:12] Lindsay Jani: excited and thank you so much for having me here. Uh, I love this stuff so .
[00:03:16] Monica Little: Oh my gosh, me too. So I'm gonna jazz about this conversation. We were already just talking about so many good things.
[00:03:21] I'm like, we have to hit record cause this is the goal that people need to hear. So before we really dive into spirituality, energetics, all of that fun stuff, I would love for you to just introduce yourself to the listener. Who are you? What do you do? What is your passion behind what you do? All that fun stuff.
[00:03:38] Wow.
[00:03:38] Lindsay Jani: So I. Am an energy healer. I am a spiritual teacher, and I'm a hypnotherapist. I work with a subconscious mind, so I work with a lot of different modalities to help people really move forward with their creativity to help move the, to help them really understand. Stand, how they can work with themselves and what they know inside, [00:04:00] what their soul knows to really help differentiate them in the marketplace, but also how to move them forward in ways that are just unthinkable at this point, right?
[00:04:09] Like what is now possible. So I help people step into the possibility with their create, with their creativity, and it just really lights my soul on fire. So it is, uh, You know, I, I am a creative at heart too. Um, I've been a musician for most of my life. Um, I enjoy doing things in the background. Uh, you know, like I have a lot of hobbies.
[00:04:30] I probably own all of Michael's in my house. , . Um, but what I absolutely love when I work. Creatives and people who have a creative mind. So that can be, uh, you know, a creative, a maker. It could be a creator, like an online creator, right, or an entrepreneur. These are the people. It's that creative mind that I truly believe is going to change this world.
[00:04:58] And so there is this bigger, [00:05:00] much broader thing. So if I can help somebody tap into their true creativity, their true gifts, and what. know to be true. I know that it will help change this world. One person, one creative mind at a time.
[00:05:15] Monica Little: Oh my gosh, that is so beautiful. And I love what you said about create the creative mind is what's gonna change the world.
[00:05:22] And what you were saying before we hit record is how a lot of people are doing the conventional thing and it's the creative person, right? The creative mind that's gonna bring about that change. Can you elaborate that on that a little bit?
[00:05:33] Lindsay Jani: So if you think about it, it's, you know, everybody like logic has been running this world for so long and it's really where the heart comes into the things that you do.
[00:05:46] The heart, the soul, like everything that you're able to really bring in is what lights people, you know, there souls on fire. It's that, um, it's that vibrancy, it's that energy that. [00:06:00] Moves things forward because what's been done will continue to be done in the same way, in the same patterns. You can't break a pattern without a creative outlet or without a creative way to express something.
[00:06:12] Right? And so, I believe that every single person, every single person who's a creative has something that they are willing to give to somebody else. And that is a piece of their heart. And when their heart touches somebody else's heart, that's when the world starts to shift. And it's not gonna be just one person.
[00:06:30] It is a collective of creatives that will move people to. I believe like really great heights into like really a, a, a new beautiful world, right? In that we get to live. And I think that there is, um, a really beautiful thing with what we're experiencing right now because there is so much contrast right now, right?
[00:06:51] Like you can see where the logic hasn't been working, but you can see where the creativity, the love, and the people who are just like, let's band together and do something great. Like where it's really making [00:07:00] a change. So let's just do more of it. Right? .
[00:07:02] Monica Little: Oh my gosh. I love it. I love it so much. Okay, I wanna just ha ask a couple fun questions before we get Yes into this conversation.
[00:07:08] But number one, you said you're, you've been a musician your whole life. So tell me more. Like what, what do you do in your musician? Like, is this a specific instrument? Tell me more.
[00:07:17] Lindsay Jani: Sure. So I played the violin, uh, starting from when I was five. Um, and it's something that really, uh, You know, it's, it's something that I grew up with all throughout, you know, elementary school, high school.
[00:07:29] And I did stop playing pretty seriously around college because college, uh, , and I wanted to explore other things. So music has always been a very big part of my life, and I dabble with my violin still, and I have it. Do I play it as seriously? Like, am I in a symphonic orchestra? No . Am I touring? No . But what I do love is that it's a really beautiful outlet for you to just express yourself.
[00:07:54] If you're having, like, there's such a beautiful energy in [00:08:00] sound in music. That's why there's sound healing. That's why there, that's why you resonate with certain things. That's why your brain actually lights up in certain areas when music is played or when a sound is played. And so it's always really brought me into this really.
[00:08:13] Space and a really beautiful place of calm. And, uh, that's that. So yeah, that's, that's the violin. I, oh my gosh. I love, I lo I love, I love it. I love the instrument. Now my six year-old's like, mommy, I wanna play . Oh my God. How sweet.
[00:08:27] Monica Little: Yeah, she's a sweetheart. How so, so sweet. And oh my gosh, I relate to you so much of what you said, of just having some sort of creative outlet that's not like your work, right?
[00:08:37] Because our work mm-hmm. , no matter what we do as a small business owner, as an entrepreneur, what we're doing is creative. Right? If it's a social media, That is creativity. If it's an email, that is creativity. But how do we do creative things just to create, like playing the violin? Or Tell me more about your Michael's obsession.
[00:08:54] Do you have a favorite? A from like your crafting, Michael, tell me more what you like [00:09:00] to do.
[00:09:00] Lindsay Jani: So I fully understand that I am not, I am a master of not much when it comes to like, like I have a whole calligraphy set. Am I good? No , but do I enjoy it? Yes. Um, I, uh, took some pottery classes. I loved it and I loved that it brought me into this really big state of presence.
[00:09:22] Do I own a pottery wheel? Not yet. . , my, might I, I don't know. , you ask my husband if we have room for it. Um, but it's, uh, . Um, I really enjoy jewelry making. So, um, I, I believe you've probably, I, I don't know if you have Kristen Von from Yes. So I have her course right. And I think it's so cool. That's awesome.
[00:09:45] Monica Little: Um, and so polymer clay like making
[00:09:48] Lindsay Jani: clay.
[00:09:48] Yeah. That's amazing. I, I bought it to do with my daughter. I'm like, oh, this is really cool. Um, You know, it's just like, like what? Like my daughter's really creative too, and she's a wonderful artist at six. I'm like amazed at what she can [00:10:00] draw. But you know, it's, it's really, oh gosh, I can't, I have so many things.
[00:10:04] I make candles, um, . I am, I'm asking for a metalsmithing and jewelry smithing course and all the supplies, so I will have worn my arsenal. So it's, um, a lot of.
[00:10:18] Monica Little: Oh my gosh, I love it. And that Just finishing furniture . Ooh.
[00:10:22] Lindsay Jani: Oh my gosh. Yeah, we built this. I know, I know that nobody can see it on your podcast, but I have a big cri like.
[00:10:27] Console thing behind me that, uh, my husband and I made, so, wow. It's, um, yeah, just a lot of things. . Oh my gosh, I love
[00:10:34] Monica Little: it. But it's that, I know we're gonna talk about energy and, but creative energy is such a big part of it. And just having these hobbies, like you said, are you going to become a professional calligrapher and a cell?
[00:10:45] Greeting cards? Maybe not, but just having fun with it and just having these hobbies. Love, love, love to hear it. Okay, cool. So that was just a little side tangent. You mentioned being a musician and Michael, so I'm like, I have to ask what this is , but let's dive into [00:11:00] spirituality and energetics a little bit more.
[00:11:02] I would love to start right at the basics on, for someone maybe who's not super familiar with it, but what is energy at a very basic level, what is energy? How does it work? How would you explain that to someone who's maybe new to.
[00:11:16] Lindsay Jani: Yeah, so energy, well first let's start off with science. Energy is science.
[00:11:24] Everything is energy, period, right? We've learned about this. You can't create it, nor can you destroy it, but you can transfer. You can transmute and transform. And so if you start to think about it, we are all energetic beings. Trees are energy. Crystals are energy. We are all like, everything that is around us is energy.
[00:11:48] And so if you really start to think about this concept of energy, everything is alive. Even your wooden desk is alive and everything that is alive also gets to carry a [00:12:00] story. And so if you start to think about this, like how energy works and how you can start to really work with it, um, you know, sometimes people will say like, oh, your energy is so great.
[00:12:11] Like, it's this unspoken language that we all carry. It's this, uh, Invisible language, if you wanna call it that. So, you know, if somebody's not do, like, if somebody's just like angry, like you can tell that they're angry and you don't even really have to look at them. You can like walk into a room and be like, Ooh, I think a fight was here.
[00:12:30] It's because the energy is being held in that space. Or if somebody is just like, like magnetic or just like super happy. I love to say like, you know, Kate Hudson and like Matthew McConaughey are like, I think they just had like their whole like, uh, they just had an anniversary with one of their movies and I was.
[00:12:46] I watched it on Instagram anyways, , it was, uh, they just have this like vibrancy to them and it's just like, wow. I would love to be around them. So if you guys are listening to this, please, like, I, like you can find me like Matthew [00:13:00] McConaughey and like Kate Hudson and all of you like. Come find me. We'll be friends,
[00:13:03] Um, but it's just one of those things, like even Oprah, right? Like she carries this really calm and like present energy, right? And you can always tell what that is, but so if you can tell other people, you also carry a signature. Energy too. So I guess that's the best way to describe it in a way. Like what is it?
[00:13:24] Monica Little: Oh my gosh, I love it. And for someone who's maybe new to energy and they're like, oh my gosh, I have an energy. What is my energy? How would you explain to them on how they can get a cue of where their energy is? Cuz you gave a couple examples of vibrancy of, of Oprah being very calm, like all these different situations.
[00:13:43] But how can someone check in with their own energy if they're like, what am I giving? Right now. Yeah.
[00:13:48] Lindsay Jani: So a lot of people who are even aware of energy tend to be empaths. So , these are people who can, uh, feel energy in a room or just pick up like, oh, I know that [00:14:00] somebody's happy, or I know that somebody's sad.
[00:14:01] Right? So, um, a really great way to like, if you're feeling really happy, , ride with it. Please. Like, let that be your energy. Right? Like, but so we all have like this, I, I don't wanna say a default energy, but I think it's the best way to describe it. It's like your cur, your, your constant state. Mm-hmm. . So wherever that is, that's your frequency.
[00:14:21] Right? And so I'll talk about energy is frequency, so I'll talk about frequency in this, uh, here too. So, um, when we are vibrating at a certain frequency, we can either go. Or we can go down like scales on a piano, right? Like you can go up and you can go down, but you have like your middle, is it like a middle C?
[00:14:40] Right? Um, so if you think about that, you can go up and you can go down, but it always comes back to the middle. And so sometimes like if you have triggers or if you haven't worked on certain parts of yourself, the shadow parts, the lower frequencies, um, you'll sometimes go down into the lower frequency.
[00:14:58] Hmm. Be. When [00:15:00] you are so used to not, like, once you've healed those parts, you can go much higher. And so that middle C then starts to go up higher and higher and higher, and so you start to default and love and calm and happiness and joy and enlightenment. All of these really beautiful things. And so if you're like, wow, that person is like e, everybody has the ability to move up the scale, which is a beautiful thing, but, and so you don't, no one ever needs to judge.
[00:15:29] Like if they have a lower vibration that's or lower frequency, that's okay. You just get to notice where that is. No judgements. It's just the opportunity that you have if you're feeling foggy or angry or triggered or sad or guilty or shameful, any of these things, those are, those are lower vibrational frequencies and you can say, wow, if I'm stuck there for a really long time, or just feeling like, nah.
[00:15:58] Then that's a really good opportunity for you [00:16:00] to be like, wow, what else can I do to bring in more joy, more flow, more, all of that, right? Because that's all higher vibration, so, oh my
[00:16:07] Monica Little: gosh, I love it. And a couple things that you said. I heard you say the word a couple times, how you're feeling. Yeah. So is your energy basically how you're feeling, your emotions?
[00:16:17] I know you just mentioned, you know, if there's some of those lower frequencies of maybe scarcity or doubt or nervous or scared or anxious or, or whatever it may be, is, is your energy truly how you
[00:16:31] Lindsay Jani: feel at this moment? Well, so if we start to go into like, what is our truth? , our truth are our emotions.
[00:16:39] Mm-hmm. . So our emotions talk about what is true to me right now. Right. But your energy is not just based on that. You have physical energy, you have mental, you have emotional, and you have spiritual. So you have a lot of different types of energy that are all working inside of you or inside of you and outside of you, way outside of you.
[00:16:58] that becomes your [00:17:00] energetic field. Right. Um, but when you start. Looking at like feelings are really good place to start. How am I feeling right now? Right. Really great place to start because you're starting from a truth. And the great thing is, is that you can ask yourself in your mind and you don't have to share it with anybody.
[00:17:18] Right. It becomes, but sometimes facing that truth with ourselves, it's just. You know, like we'd rather ignore it because we know that, we know. It's like, how can you hide from yourself? Like you can't, because you, you're always with yourself. So if you're feeling a certain way, you, that's a really great place to start.
[00:17:35] Oh, how am I feeling right now? And then you can ask, is that my energy? Or is that somebody else's? Hmm. Because if you are somebody who picks up on other people's stuff, you can carry it very easily as your own. And when you start to notice a difference being like, that's not mine. Everything changes.
[00:17:55] Monica Little: Yes. I love that.
[00:17:56] And I have this story just to yeah, bring what you just [00:18:00] said into an example. I remember my husband and I, we were going, I think we were going back to Michigan to see our family. And for me, I don't really get too anxious with like packing and getting ready, but all of a sudden I had this anxiety and I'm like, okay, packing, we're going home for a weekend.
[00:18:16] Um, why am I feeling anxious? But my husband will get anxious before, cuz he had a long day at work. He's got. To do. He is maybe not as good as as reducing some of the anxiety. So I just paused for a second and I'm like, is this my anxiety or am I literally picking up on my husband's? And I'm like, that's not, that's not my feeling at all.
[00:18:34] I'm just picking up on his little energy. So it's so interesting what you said. When you truly get aware of, okay, how am I feeling right now? What emotions are coming up? What is my energy versus what is maybe around me that I'm picking up? You start to notice how you can be impacted, but then you can also let it go and be like, oh, that's not mine.
[00:18:51] I'm just gonna release it and let it flow through and, and keep going with my own states of where I was at.
[00:18:57] Lindsay Jani: Yeah, and sometimes it takes just moving, like out [00:19:00] of your home or your office or your studio, right? If you're just like, gosh, I'm feeling so like, I'm, I, I, I'm feeling. Inspired or not motivated today?
[00:19:08] Literally go outside for a walk. Leave your phone or like if you have to have your phone, put it in your pocket so you don't touch it and just go for a walk. Mm-hmm. and get really present with yourself and just let your mind go and walk until you're like, okay, I am good. But that's only that halfway back.
[00:19:25] And then you walk as the good on all the way back. So you walk until you feel better. Ooh. And then you continue it on the way back and being able to get more present with where you're at, because at that point you've grounded out likely what's not yours.
[00:19:39] Monica Little: I love that. I love that so much. And that brings up a good question.
[00:19:44] So when we talk about energy and you know, frequency and the scale that you mentioned of low vibration versus high vibration, do we personally have the ability to move up and down based on our own will?
[00:19:57] Lindsay Jani: Yeah, absolutely [00:20:00] nothing can shake your will. Not a not higher spiritual, spiritual realm, not another person.
[00:20:07] Your, your will is it, it, it is literally your key to unlocking everything. And so you can make a choice. You can either, and, and I know that this sounds so much more simple, but you can make things as simple or as hard as you want. And so when you decide to choose, and that's not meaning that you're not going to be breaking old patterns and habits and things that you've done for so long, but as soon as you notice, you can then start to move in a different way.
[00:20:38] Being like, oh, I notice I'm here. Okay, what choice can I make? I can either stay in it or I can move myself out of it. But it's that constant coming back and as you start to practice it, it starts to really. , you, you become better at it, right? Any, like, anything, like any creative thing that we do, anything in business that we do, the more we do it, the [00:21:00] better we become.
[00:21:00] It's a practice, right? It's a journey. It's not like you just do it once and you're done, right? Like energy healing. People are like, oh, well I got, I, I had my energy healed. I'm like, great. And like, they're like, oh, I'm feeling bad again in a month. It's because they've had some things they. Flow restored, but they haven't actually healed the things that have brought them to that space in the first place.
[00:21:19] And so gra granted it can help and it can alleviate, it's like a pill, but it won't actually solve anything until you actually work on the energy and what's causing the energy drainage, or leaks or, you know, or like these, like, uh, you can have sparks of energy too until you can actually really learn how to control it and manage it.
[00:21:39] Um, you'll, it'll, it'll go every which way, right? Like somebody can say something to you, you can get that email and you'll be like, oh, man. You know, and then like all of a sudden there's an energy leak, you're down into a lower vibration. But like, let's say you go and like have a great chat with a friend, you're back up.
[00:21:56] But when you stop letting the external impact your energy, that's when you [00:22:00] have all of your. Oh my
[00:22:02] Monica Little: gosh, that's so beautiful. Cause I know a lot of people, and I think back to my own experience too, I used to think that I didn't have any control of that, right? If someone pissed me off, it pissed me off and my whole day is ruined.
[00:22:14] But I love what you said, and that's something that I really started to embrace a couple years ago too, is like I get to choose how I react. I get to choose how I look at every single situation. I get to choose how the bad things affect me or Don. To me or what I learned from them, or how I view them or how I grow from it.
[00:22:30] And it truly is your choice, right? Like it's, it's so beautiful. Yeah. And I think a lot of people, at least what I used to do is you don't wanna have that choice cuz it forces you to take accountability, right. It forces you to be like, something's gotta change. I have the power, but maybe people don't want things to change.
[00:22:49] Right. So do you have any, um, do you notice that that happens or do you have any words of advice or, or anything that may come up in that type of situation?
[00:22:57] Lindsay Jani: Like when you just don't want to do it because you don't [00:23:00] wanna face it, or,
[00:23:01] Monica Little: yeah. But maybe you are real. For example, what if someone is realizing like, okay, I wake up every single day and I'm just annoyed and I'm just annoyed at my partner, or I'm annoyed at my work, but now I'm hearing that I don't have to be annoyed.
[00:23:13] I can choose a better vibration, but what if someone doesn't want to? Right. Well, if they're like, I'm so used to being annoyed and I just wanna be annoyed. Is there any any advice or guidance that we can give someone in that situ. Well,
[00:23:25] Lindsay Jani: I think that, you know, being letting yourself be annoyed is a pattern, right?
[00:23:29] And we all get to choose. So I say let yourself so you can have somebody who has nothing and they are letting themselves still be happy and they can still let themselves give and they can still let themselves receive. But then you have people who have everyth. and they let themselves be negative, pick up on the bad vibes, not vibes, not let like themselves go on vacation because they don't think that they deserve it.
[00:23:56] But if they just start to realize, and this is a, these are [00:24:00] patterns, these are not easy to always break by yourself, right? And I understand this, but it's it, I wasn't always like this either. So like there's been a lot of healing in my journey as well. And so I used to let myself. Angry. I used to let myself be sad.
[00:24:16] And you know what? Let yourself understand why you're angry, why you're sad. What is making you be this way? And when you start asking yourself better questions like, what is causing this? What can I now do about this? That's when you start bringing your power back. And power, energy is really where it's all at.
[00:24:40] So once you start bringing that power back to yourself versus letting everybody else have that power over you. God, what? Like once you get a taste of it, there's no, once you get a taste of the good stuff, there's no going. You will, you won't want to be there anymore. It's no longer [00:25:00] comfortable because you've taken yourself out of that comfort of being angry or sad or lonely or angry, whatever, and you've put yourself into a different vibration.
[00:25:09] It's like, Having a piece of candy or like having like a really beautiful fruit. Like if you go to like a tropical island or something, you're like, God, I need more of that . I need another mango . I was just gonna say, best mango I ever had. Yes. Seriously. Right? Oh my gosh. And you want more of it. You want that taste of it and you just, you crave it.
[00:25:28] And so what you crave, you wind up moving towards. And that's healing.
[00:25:34] Monica Little: Oh my gosh, I love it. I think that's, that's so beautiful of how you talk about like your personal power and I'm, I'm probably willing to guess, have you read the book, the Four Agreements? Yes. Yes. Such a good one of how he talks about, you know, don't take anything personally, like, don't let anyone.
[00:25:50] Change or alter your energy. Like have your energy be your energy, and obviously stuff is gonna happen and external circumstances are gonna happen, but you literally get to choose if this [00:26:00] catapults you into a spiral and then you're down for a week. Or if you literally choose to acknowledge it, process any emotions, but not let anything really affect you or take it personally.
[00:26:13] Right.
[00:26:14] Lindsay Jani: Yeah. And you know from that book, there's also another wonderful take. , always do your best. Hmm. Nothing more, nothing less. And your best will change from day to day. Sometimes you are. What is your best? Maybe it might just be like brushing your hair. . Mm-hmm. brushing your teeth and like maybe a shower, right?
[00:26:36] Like if you're really sick. Right. Or sometimes your best is like, I'm going on like a 10 mile run and then I'm doing this, and then I'm doing that. Then I'm gonna go create. Great. Let your best be whatever it can be that day, because our energy ebbs and flows right. and that's okay, but as long as you're doing your best, your, your frequency stays up because you know that you've done what you can.
[00:26:59] And it's [00:27:00] not about trying, because trying means that you're actually not doing. Hmm. I am doing my best. I'm not trying my best, I am doing my best. Right. Such a big difference between those two words, but such a beautiful way to shift. Right. Put yourself into action. I. And things will always change.
[00:27:22] Monica Little: So Beautiful.
[00:27:23] So I wanna take this energetic conversation and pivot a little bit on how does your energy play a vital role in business? What is your take on how energy frequency, your feelings, your emotions, how does that impact business?
[00:27:37] Lindsay Jani: Oh, it's everything. So, you know, it's one of those things like you need skill.
[00:27:41] Skill is very important. So I'm never going to say, don't get the skills right And there's going to be learning that you need, like how to market yourself, especially if you don't know how to market yourself or like how to frame certain things so that it resonates. Better with somebody. Right? But it's like how, [00:28:00] like when you've done all of those things and you've done them likely many times and that I've done this too, like I've taken so many courses, so many, and I mean like I'm a course hoarder and I love my courses because I like to learn and there's something about always being a student that I absolutely love, but when being a student is taking you out of your knowing, And you're actually not doing, that's the chance that you get to start working inside with your energy.
[00:28:31] If you, if what was once working no longer works, something needs to be fixed, right? And it's like, well, what is that? Do you need another skill? I was collecting so many different skills for so long where I was just like, Um, why is this not working anymore? Yeah. And I'm like, oh, it's my energy because I'm so down.
[00:28:52] Like, I was like in this like super serious mode and like, you know, like there I was literally closing off my energy to everything else [00:29:00] because I like needed to be in this bubble to think and to learn and to do all the things. And you know, it's one of those things like if you feel like you're on the precipice of something and you still don't have it, although you've done all the things.
[00:29:14] all the things. Um, that's what really, when it's time to start looking inside, where is my energy? Hmm. Where is my attention? How can I shift this? What do I need to shift and what do I need to let go of? Because in order to get from one place to another, you can't keep doing the same things because if the, if you don't change something, you won't have what else you want.
[00:29:45] Right? You can keep doing the same things to keep. Up the pattern in where you are. Like if you want to maintain a weight, you just keep eating the same stuff. You keep doing the same things. But if you want to, you know, work on your health, you're going to have to [00:30:00] change something. Right? Or if you don't, and if you slide, then you like that changes something and you get another effect, right?
[00:30:08] And so it's the same thing with your energy. Sometimes it can. Stagnant when we start to feel unfulfilled, when we start to feel like there's something more and I can't get there. And it's all these things, but that's really about where the shedding of these lower energies and the things that trigger them, and it's, some people might call it shadow work as well.
[00:30:28] Um, there's some of that where you just focus on like, what's causing all of all of this wa like what's causing you to be held back and how can you begin to unlock it? How can you tap into that energy? But. Yes, move you forward. It's not about just going into it and being like, oh, I can create and then go back.
[00:30:47] It's how can I stay in it? Right.
[00:30:51] Monica Little: Yes. And I have a specific example I wanna run by you. Yeah. So, for a lot of people who have product businesses, January, February, March [00:31:00] even, is usually a pretty slow season for sales. Obviously after Christmas and the holidays, everyone was buying stuff. So a lot of small business owners in Q1 are a little frazzled because their sales aren't there.
[00:31:11] So I know you mentioned a lot about where you place your attention. Mm-hmm. . So if there's an example of someone. Doing all the right things, putting in all the work, building their business, but the sales aren't just there yet and that's what they're focusing on, the sales that aren't there. What would be your recommendation on how to change where your attention is?
[00:31:33] What would be a better place to focus that attention in this example?
[00:31:38] Lindsay Jani: What a great question. So where you place your attention is where your energy goes. So if you are. Feeling like you're lacking something, you're going to start getting into this. It's a spiraling energy of like, oh my God. I'm not good enough.
[00:31:56] I'm not gonna be able to have this money, or I don't have this money. When [00:32:00] in reality you're probably doing all right. So what I always like to say is like, after you come off of a really big high, like I had the best sales season ever, give yourself a break and celebrate and find the energy you want to stay in.
[00:32:14] Then take that energy and say, what else? Now I know that this is a slower season. This is my creating season. This is my inspiration season. This is the season where I get to do something amazing. Right? Give yourself the permission to have fun, and that doesn't mean go spend millions of dollars on like fancy schmancy vacations if you don't.
[00:32:39] Go ahead and do it. If you can like, great, and take me with you , uh, , I'll, I'll hang, um, . But it's about really, um, tapping into that frequency in celebration, knowing like I did something really phenomenal and I'm really proud of myself. And [00:33:00] using that as evidence of being like, I can do this. I just know that this is when other people are buying things because it is a big holiday season.
[00:33:10] It's not always going to be that busy, but you know this, right? And say this is a quote unquote truth. Great. But then what else can you do to make these sales? What energy can you be in to attract these different sales? Because if you are stinking excited and in the celebratory mood and like. Janu end of January, March.
[00:33:33] All these times that are quote unquote slow, if you are like, God, I just came up with the best thing and I have, you know, I only have so much cuz I've made these myself, but I am so excited about these and people are raving about them already. You don't think that those things are gonna fly off the shelf because that energy is contagious.
[00:33:52] Get into the celebratory energy and carry that on through in your slow seasons. Get amped, get excited, but not faked. [00:34:00] Get like really passionate about what you do and if your heart isn't in it, ask yourself, where can I put my heart? Where is it that, like where is that heart energy? The one that I know can elevate me up and like really push the stuff to.
[00:34:13] Like get going. Like, because it's that energy that makes it fun, that makes it exciting, puts you into flow and wouldn't you know all of that energy that you put into what you create your artwork. Cuz everything a creator does is art. That is one healing for somebody else. It's something that somebody else can enjoy and that energy can be felt.
[00:34:35] I have, um, uh, a painting that was done of my dog, and I can, I know, I know the artist. She's wonderful. It's lifelike. It's like I can't even, and I can tell she poured so much heart and the tension into it and. Maybe it's just because I can read energy, but I mean, you can tell when somebody's give, taken a lot of care and like pride in [00:35:00] something and like I did something really cool.
[00:35:04] You can tell and when you receive it, you're like, gosh, that's so good. I love this.
[00:35:10] Monica Little: I love this entire conversation that you said. What if someone is feeling like they are faking it? Like what would you recommend for them? How do they create this type of fun? Is it as simple, like you said, go for a walk, do something else creative, find a way to increase this energy, or what if someone's like truly struggling and they feel like they can even fake?
[00:35:31] Lindsay Jani: Yeah. You know, it's like sometimes there is something to say, like, fake it till you make it. Right? Like, I am working on my health right now, and so I am eating as a healthy person does, right? I'm like, I'm looking at myself in the future. What do I like, who, like, who am I in the future? Who is a healthier version of me?
[00:35:48] What am I doing? Okay, great. I'm eating more salads. I'm eating more protein, I'm eating more clean food, right? I'm, I'm taking vitamins, so I'm like, okay, well I'm just gonna do that. Right. And [00:36:00] so like what does the other version that, the version that you are going towards, what are they doing and how can you start embodying that now, and that's not tomorrow and that's not in an hour.
[00:36:09] What can you do now? What is that person doing? Are they getting up and having a solo dance party in their studio? Probably , right? Like are they belting out? Like, I don't know, like. I don't know. I had the Eagles on, like, I'm not that old. Um, . . But I love, I love, like, I love like hardier music. I'm like singing Hotel California.
[00:36:30] Like, I don't know, like I'm jamming to this stuff as, I'm like creating like a free resource , like, yeah, like creating a free resource. Can be boring. But for me, I get really excited and I'm like jamming. You know, like sometimes I'll go to a coffee shop, sometimes I'll move my, where I work just to get reinspired because like sometimes it's like overhearing a conversation.
[00:36:52] Like, not that I'm eavesdropping, but I'm eavesdropping . And it's just like, but like you hear somebody talk about something like, oh, I get them and be like, oh, [00:37:00] that's actually a really great idea, and it sparks something else. Again, the creative mind can pick up on something and be so inspired by like the smallest thing.
[00:37:08] And sometimes it just takes like moving into another room in your space. Mm-hmm. . Or sometimes it just means like going out, like go to Target, , go to the decor aisle, like, I don't know, like go
[00:37:20] Monica Little: to Michael's and we just talked about all these great hobbies. .
[00:37:23] Lindsay Jani: I mean, I love going into anthropology. Anthropology is one of my favorite stores, and I'm not quite sure if you know this, but if you do, like, I'll just tell everybody they wind up having, um, different scents in different areas.
[00:37:35] Oh. Because they wanna transport the, the people throughout the store. And so they have different themes to different places, to different things too. So notice the next time you go in, like how the smell might start to change. But they do this as a sensory experience. I always leave feeling so inspired.
[00:37:49] I'm like, Wow. And like also like a few hundred dollars for , or maybe what you could say is a few hundred dollars richer because I now get to like, [00:38:00] you know, like be excited about like, because like, you know, you bought it in a certain energy. I'm pretty sure like if you walk into an anthropology or any space that like really inspires you, if you're going in and kind of a funk, you're leaving feeling a little bit better.
[00:38:14] Let yourself do that. I love it. Let yourself go into a new space and feel better. I've been working down in my dining room because I love the light down there right now, and I love just sitting in like the light coming in from one of the windows. It feels so good and it's such a different perspective.
[00:38:28] So I'm like, oh, great. I wanna sit down there for when I do this type of work now, and it changes a lot.
[00:38:33] Monica Little: Yeah. And a couple main things that you said, I think. What you said, it's like find inspiration. If, if you are feeling this, maybe energy low or maybe noticing some of the scarcity or, or things aren't where you want them to be right now, find a way to shake things up.
[00:38:47] Find a way to make it fun. Find a way to, to bring the energy up, find some inspiration, do something different. But I also love what you said is what is the future version of you? Like, how are they acting? So if you think about a [00:39:00] small business owner who is making six figures, multiple six figures, are they worried about a slow January or February?
[00:39:07] Or are they working on their business having a great time and knowing that it's. Gonna be slow, but also knowing that it's gonna take off knowing that, like you said, they have time for creativity. Come up with new ideas, test some new stuff, like they're not phased by a potential slow period. They're not over here worrying and second guessing themselves.
[00:39:24] They're just like, all right, I'll take it and I'll be creative. I'll be ingenuitive. I'll find a way, or I'll just overcome it and not let it affect me, and take me down this spiral.
[00:39:34] Lindsay Jani: Totally. And it's, you know, and allowing yourself that rest. Right. But like, not taking yourself out of motion.
[00:39:42] Monica Little: Ooh. Okay. Tell me the
[00:39:43] Lindsay Jani: difference between those two.
[00:39:43] And so, like, you know how like, um, uh, body at rest stays at rest, but a body in motion stays in motion. Mm-hmm. so you can allow your mind to rest, but maybe it's about having fun doing something else, right? Like, You, you can do so many other things. [00:40:00] That doesn't mean like you have, like, you can, you can put down whatever you're working on for a day and you can come back to it.
[00:40:08] Do something else that keeps your mind in motion, keeps your energy in motion, because it's one of those things where, you know, like our minds, the way that they work are different than somebody who like just works with numbers all the time. Then you can be really creative with numbers if you're like a computer programmer, right?
[00:40:28] Like, so like maybe I'm, it shouldn't be ding numbers, right? But if you're sitting there like whatever is like, we're not logical people. Mm-hmm. . And when we try to perfect something that's logic, what is perfect? Perfect. Doesn't exist. We're artists, we're creative. We'll always think of something different to do later.
[00:40:54] Be like, oh, this is so much better. Right? But like, let that be part of your journey and your growth. [00:41:00] Like I'm so much better at almost 40 than I was, uh, in my twenties. Like, I let myself grow, right? Like, let yourself expand. I'm so glad it's not per I was not perfect at 20, cuz 40 would be boring. . I love it.
[00:41:14] Monica Little: Yes. Like what a good perspective shift. Seriously, that's so perfectly said.
[00:41:20] Lindsay Jani: It's just like, what is perfect enough? Mm-hmm. for what? Or, but what? And maybe even just take perfect out of it. What is making me happy right now? Let that be your perfect. What is happy? What is making me happy, and don't let it be anything outside of you.
[00:41:41] Let it be something that comes from you, because when you start bringing back that happiness, that control of your happiness, regardless of what's going on outside a slow month, you're still a creator. You're still in your groove, right? And it's okay to have slow months. Maybe that is the rest that [00:42:00] you need.
[00:42:00] So when you have a busy month, you are amped up. But then like sometimes you gotta take the, like, you don't have to go full, you don't have to go like 90 miles an hour. Every single, every single time you go into the car. You can go like 20. It's okay. It's also a speed limit somewhere. . , you know. Yeah, I can't always be on.
[00:42:22] Can't always be fully on. Yeah, stay on, but not fully pedal to the metal. Right?
[00:42:27] Monica Little: Yes. I love it. I love what you said, like stay in motion, do something else. Creative. Yeah. Find a way. So beautifully said. So I wanna switch gears a little bit and ask you this question. We talked about energy. Mm-hmm. , what does it mean to be an energetic match in what you want to bring in?
[00:42:45] Lindsay Jani: Oh, I love this question so much. If you were to take the piano again, right that middle C and I hope that everybody understands. It's just like in the middle of the, it's like where you kind of like, it's like on a [00:43:00] keyboard, like on your, on your, like for those who aren't musicians, uh, if you were to have like, uh, like your.
[00:43:07] Keyboard that you're typing on, like the F and the J have like those like little tiny like nubby things, that's kind of like your center, right? And so that's where kind of like the middle C is, so you know where to play anyway, so . So where, when you start to what like, so what we want or what we desire is typically a higher vibrational f.
[00:43:31] So love if you don't have love. Right? Higher vi vibrational frequency. Um, a a lot of things are wrapped up in love and the energy of love, right? Or higher. Um, we want things that are abundant. Abundance is a really high vibrational energy. We're like, oh, we want abundance. So let's say you find a penny on the street, you pick it up and you're like, oh, it's just a penny.
[00:43:58] I love on that [00:44:00] penny. More than I had. It's the energy of receiving. And so when we start to look at being a, an energetic match for something, it's really about making sure that you are consistently and constantly in the state of that energy that you want to be receiving. And so that doesn't mean baking it until you make it.
[00:44:19] It means sometimes you have to take little steps to get to that frequency. Do that. That's okay. Fake that part right until it becomes part of who you. do it right? E like I don't like going running at the gym all the time, but am I somebody who is working on their health? Yes. So I go, but I always feel good afterwards.
[00:44:39] I'm like, no, I'm just gonna go. It can be for five minutes. I will still go. Right? So I'm still in that energy of like, gosh, if I like health, like good health is in a really high vibrational state. In order for me to get there, I need to put my mind there, and even just going and letting that be the thing that I do.
[00:44:58] A higher state of energy. I'm [00:45:00] working my way up there. So you can be in a lot of different energetic states too, right? Like you can have your default, you know, like kinda like your, your, your normal state that you kind of come back to all the time. And you can then like, and that's the state that you kind of want to always be in if you want to receive the things that you want.
[00:45:16] So that's what the energetic matches, right? So, uh, so. Talk like, so let's think about being an energetic match as being like a radio frequency, right? So we start to look at a radio frequency as like, let's say we have like 1 0 1 0.5 and that's like an oldie station here. So when we start to do that, it's one of those things where it, um, like if you are at like.
[00:45:37] 1 0 1 or like a hundred, like you're going to get static or a different station. Right? But if you're tuning into 1 0 1 0.5 and the, and the frequency in the sound frequency waves are also at 1 0 1 0.5, you're gonna have the match and it's going to play really crystal clear. But if you start going out of range, or if like you start to go up, sometimes you'll get, you'll get into different radio stations that are [00:46:00] that energetic match.
[00:46:01] So if you start to think about like, what is the energy of money? Right? Or what is the energy of like love or whatever it is that you desire. You must tune into that frequency and you need to stay there because once you start moving away from it, you get the static or you just don't get that station so very much.
[00:46:21] It is the same thing with your energy. If you want love, you need to be in the energy of love, and that is also a giving and a receiving. Yes. And it is not just giving, giving, giving because you think you're going to get, get, get. It's giving with your heart. It is giving, knowing that from somewhere you have to release expectation of where it's going to come from.
[00:46:46] It will come to you. So it's also about releasing expectation. The how is not, it's not your business. The how is none of your business because you can't control other. [00:47:00] You just know that it will be where you are because that is a state that you are in. So, um, that that's really what the energetic match is.
[00:47:08] So if you want more business, You need to pour that heart in. You need to pour that soul in. You need to pour that energy of love and support in all the things that are beautiful, and then at some point somewhere that will be returned to you in likeness. It's the law of reciprocity. It is a universal law.
[00:47:29] Mm-hmm. .
[00:47:30] Monica Little: And I love what you said of just releasing expectation of when that will come back. Yeah. Because we live in such an instant world where we wanna see results tomorrow for what we did today. But you're building, you're, you're creating, you're building an empire, building a foundation, you're taking a step by step, you're working on your energy and, and when it all comes back to you,
[00:47:52] That's something that we can't have a stronghold on and expect it. Yeah. Or be anxious or anticipate and just [00:48:00] know. Right. What's meant for me will come, I'm working on myself, I'm working on my energy. Mm-hmm. , I'm working on my creativity. I'm working on making sure that I'm being the best person that I can be.
[00:48:09] Yeah. Whatever is meant for me, yeah. Is an energetic match to where I am. Will.
[00:48:16] Lindsay Jani: Yep. And it's, yeah, it's also that energy that stays in motion. You can be quiet sometimes, you know, like sometimes there's that self-reflective. Time where we all need to get quiet. Right? And like we need to go inside and be like, gosh, what do I need?
[00:48:34] Right? Asking yourself what do I need right now is a really beautiful thing. And it's not like a need, like you're lacking, but it's just like, it's a good checking in with yourself. Right. And it's just like when you can, when you give yourself the permission to check in, I'm like, sometimes I'm like, well, what do I need right now?
[00:48:50] I'm like, I need a break. Yeah. I need a glass of. Or what? I need it, or I need coffee. . [00:49:00] Right. But like, or like I, like if you find yourself saying, I need a vacation, something's off. Mm. You shouldn't need a vacation. You should just want to go on one. I love it. When you need something because you're like, I need relief.
[00:49:18] That is a really good time to check in with yourself and like where you're at and what you're doing, where that energy is. And it might not be in alignment anymore cuz it might have been created by a past version of you and that's okay too. Beautiful. I've had two businesses so far. I'm on my third, so
[00:49:34] Yeah. I mean, but this is where I'm supposed to be, right? Everything leads to something else and let that happen. You are a creative, you can get this done. .
[00:49:42] Monica Little: I love it. Yeah. So beautifully said. So, so, so beautifully said. Well, oh my gosh. I feel like we could just talk for hours. You have given us so much amazing information on energy and vibration.
[00:49:55] Mm-hmm. and becoming the version of you releasing expectations. So, so, so many [00:50:00] amazing things and I know people will have a great time hearing and will re-listen and pick up on all the nuggets that you dropped. Um, I would love for you to share where people can find you, stay in touch with you. Tell us more about your program or whatever you wanna share with the listeners as we wrap up
[00:50:16] Lindsay Jani: today.

[00:51:14] It's one of my favorite creations, and it is, it's so beautiful to see how people come in and how they leave and they leave.
