Well, it is a real delight to be live with Rani Curtis.
How are you doing, Rani?
Yes, I'm doing great.
Another day in paradise here.
Yes, okay, well, where is your paradise?
Our slice of paradise is Ruakaka in Northland, New Zealand.
So we're by the beach.
Oh, nice.
It's nice, it's by the beach.
I see loads of photos of you
and your family out surfing and adventuring.
Yeah, that's us, we love it here.
The band's gone surfing now.
Oh, your crew's gone surfing now?
Yeah.
Oh, so you're left at home with me?
Oh, that's great, I'm excited.
That's all right.
Actually, it's kind of interesting
because right after Matt finished his live
with us here yesterday in my office,
he drove straight up to you guys in the far north.
Yeah, that's right, beaching together, it's great.
Yeah, fantastic.
Now, I'm going to ask you a question
and then I'm just going to check the tech
and make sure it's doing its thing
and be cool to hear from you this.
I like to ask people as we kind of get started
in these sessions, how their morning has started,
you know, how their day has started
because so much of what we're talking about is rhythm.
And so just be cool,
what's the start to your morning been like today?
Yeah, nice.
I love rhythm too
and love talking about how we flow in the day.
And so my favorite way to start the day
is just with movement and meditation and some breath work.
So-
Oh, cool.
That was me today.
I just love to create space for Holy Spirit
to just speak and simmer and, you know, marinate.
And yeah, the breath work just to really
just be in my body and calm my nervous system,
all that kind of good stuff.
Yeah, breathing in essential oils.
That's really my prayer practice.
And then movement, you know,
because I do surf and we've been a bit surfed out.
So I need to stretch and move my body and yeah.
So-
Sweet.
Like I said, we have some friends here,
so connected with them and made a green smoothie today,
grabbed some greens from my garden
and yummy green smoothie.
What did you put in your smoothie?
Oh, it's my favorite.
So simple, a banana, mango, some hemp seeds,
some alkaline water,
coconut yogurt, and the greens from the garden.
Oh, nice.
That does sound very, very good.
Cool.
Well, our tech is all working.
Everything's streaming the way that it should be,
which is fantastic.
Now, breath work as well.
That's something, that's an opportunity of growth for me.
But every time that I do practice that,
I'm amazed by how good it is
and also how good it is to incorporate in my prayer life.
Yes.
Yeah.
100% agree.
So good.
Sweet.
Well, I actually started the day earlier than I thought.
I was up pretty early,
but I got a bunch of work done
and my treat was if I get it done,
I get to go to the spin class on the bikes at the gym.
So yes, I got it done,
which I was actually quite amazed by.
I've just kind of,
this classic for me is smoothie action.
So I'll do smoothies, usually breakfast and lunch,
loads of good stuff in there.
I didn't have a garden right now,
so I've been chucking, you know,
powdered greens and things like that in there.
So lots of good stuff.
So great start to the day for me this morning as well.
And how about we get you to pray for us
as we kick off the adventure.
And then I'm really excited to hear the story
that we're gonna hear from you
about how nasty cyst disappeared,
the story around there.
And then we've actually got a whole bunch
of amazing conversation really to have today,
which is just gonna be beautiful.
So why don't you pray for us and we'll light it up.
Yeah, thank you, Holy Spirit.
I just invite you to speak through me
and just inspire and empower those listening today
that they can take ownership of their health,
their wellbeing and live abundantly and thriving.
Yeah, we just invite you to just point out things
that are ready for upgrade,
that are ready for shift,
that are ready for transformation
and just bring so much light into the space right now.
Amen.
Beautiful.

you're joining us from today and want to say thanks for jumping on board it's a real honor
to have you with us on this beautiful adventure so say hi and let us know where you're from and
feel free to drop in the comments as well oh i see renee lansdowne has liked us i'm dropping
the comments as well uh how your day started you know tell us something in the comments about your
rhythm it's really cool to hear that from you guys so rani uh we came to hear about this uh
story that you've got for us but how do you want to introduce it like how did it start
where do you think is a good point to start telling your story yeah well the major starting
point for me was in november 2016 so i'll never forget because it was the weekend of the kaikoura
earthquakes in new zealand so it was a very significant shifting event in the earth and my
body was going through this shifting and pain and trembling at the same time so um i didn't realize
it at the time but i'd had like a few months prior i'd had some pain um at different times and i just
didn't know what it was and um just didn't think anything of it but this particular weekend in
november 2016 i was just constantly doubled over in pain so i was shopping with the kids i just
needed to sit down i got home you know we're just doing all the stuff and praying and have to call
my husband to come home and um just the pain just kept ramping up so it was pain in my ovaries
or in that area i didn't know it was my ovary um thankfully on my left side so i'm like it's not my
appendix because that would be on the other side um and yeah it was so intense so by this stage i'd
had three children so i know what it is to labor and birth children and this pain felt very scary
i would say it was nine out of ten sharp intense um pain so eventually in the night my husband took
me into er and um you know they give you all the pretty basic meds which don't work until they give
you morphine i could finally just relax a little bit and they did that's when i discovered i had
an ovarian cyst so a fluid filled one on my left ovary and um it was nine centimeters so what can
happen sometimes with people who don't do um centimeters very often nine centimeters is about
that big it's pretty big pretty big i'd say that's about nine centimeters there so
look that's a oh yeah that's not that's a little rock my kids painted me so we're not not kind of
too far off uh yeah it's just like this that's yeah and probably even that same color pretty sure
i can't affirm that one hold on your camera's gone oh there we go um yeah so that's what they
discovered and then like you guys were talking yesterday um they're not sorry i won't jump there
um that was the weekend like i said that we had the earthquake so i got home in the middle of the
night and just was you know recovering and a little bit of pain but feeling a lot better
so because what can happen is the cyst can like twist a little bit and so the tube is like you
know the flow is cut off and that's why the body probably is screaming in pain um yeah so then the
next night it was the earthquake and um we had the tsunami sirens going off here in ruakaka in the
middle of the night we had to make that call to like pile our family in the car and go up a hill
and um it was really insane crazy weekend yeah yeah so it was really significant awakening moment
for me because holy spirit pointed out like your body was quaking and shaking and so was the earth
and so it was really um significant time yeah and me understanding that that connection okay so
what are you going to do now like what happened next do you have to go and see specialists or
where did where did the journey take you yeah yeah so i had to have a proper scan and then
after that you know following up with the professionals
His option, he's like, oh, you've had three kids, so, you know, you don't need your ovary anymore.
There's pretty low risk of, you know, cutting the cyst out. The ovary still should work.
So my option is cut it out or go on the pill, the birth control pill to manage hormones. And,
you know, at this point, I hadn't, when did I start studying? I had done one year of my studies.
Oh, to become a naturopath? I'm a naturopath. Okay. So I was like, pretty well informed about
the pill and things like that. And I've never been on the pill in my life. So it wasn't something I
thought was gonna produce any good results. Okay, so what would be a concern that you'd
have around the pill? Why would you be like, not that keen on taking it? Yeah, so, you know,
it's synthetically, externally, really trying to control my hormones. As someone who is
choosing the natural approach, it's like, why would I want to do that? And my body's created the cyst
for a reason, because whether there's some toxins or some imbalance, my body created it. Usually,
our body creates cysts to keep toxins away from flowing in our system. So it's like a safe place
to store them until it's ready to be released. So I'm like, if my body created this cyst, then
if I bring it back into balance, it can heal it. And then if I just got it cut out, for example,
it might just create another one if I haven't solved the imbalance that's going on. Yeah,
that's genius. And actually, that's something that Dr. Robin was talking about yesterday,
is that we were just talking about this whole dynamic of how the medical mindset in general is,
you know, treat the symptom. And, you know, like, put a drug on it. And if the drug
doesn't work, then let's see if we can cut it out. Yeah, which, like you're saying there,
it's not actually going to address the root cause. It's not going to touch on the real issue
of what's going on. So yeah, how did it feel like when you like, just when you realize,
oh, man, I've got this cyst? What was that like for you when you just kind of realized,
oh, man, I've got a massive cyst inside me? Yeah, there was this element of real disappointment,
because I'd really been cleaning up my lifestyle for the past, like, two years. So it was just
like, why is this come up now? Like, I'm way healthier now than I've ever been in my life.
Like, I'm eating really good. I'd already got rid of toxins from our home, replaced them with
natural ones, essential oils. So there was this, yeah, there was that real sense of disappointment.
And it was like a time bomb, really, because I didn't know, like, I told you, I had some
bouts of pain that never got as bad as it put me in hospital. And it was just this fear of like,
it could do that again. Like, that was like crippling pain. And like, what am I going to
do about this kind of thing? Did you have that relapse? Did you have that again, where it hit
you that hard? Yeah. How long before it hit you again like that? Yeah, so I'll share that.
So when I got that, you know, diagnosis, and I got my options, and I, you know, a year and a
half into my studies, I was like, no, I'm going to do a natural approach. So before I had another
time in hospital, I had a good go at managing it with natural health. So can I share about that?
Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Tell us what you did. What were your moves?
So I felt really guided at the time to switch to eating ketogenic, cutting out all sugars,
because sugars can really, you know, not help with the estrogen spikes and all that kind of thing,
and carbs. So I ate ketogenic for like eight months, cutting out the sugars, and I was feeling
pretty good. And what I've, well, eating ketogenic's great in some ways, but also for me,
like I was eating more dairy than I'm used to, just to get those fats in there, and I'm a plant
based eater. So I eat fish, I was having salmon and like that kind of stuff. So it was pretty
good. But in some ways, it also wasn't fantastic for me. Yeah. So when you say dairy, are you
talking like cow dairy or goat dairy? I mean, I guess dairy is just cow, right?
In general, I didn't have a lot of dairy before that, but I did eat some, because I couldn't
have like so much sugary treat things. I'd have some more cream, butter, you know, cream and
butter are like keto. Yeah. I mean, the quality, actually, this was another thing that was really
amazing about the last session that Dr. Robyn did yesterday afternoon,
just actually taking on a really amazing journey from basically from the garden
all the way through all the different technological advances
and the changes and, you know, just kind of going from hunter
gatherer through to living in cities through to all of a sudden
there's an industrial revolution and then a chemical revolution
and then a technical revolution and a communication revolution.
All these things that have been shifting us
all this way to, you know, like being really intrinsically connected
with the land to now, even when we get milk,
which you would think is something because it's a fresh product.
You know, you can get a milk product, a dairy product that can last for weeks.
And so we've gone from so connected to the soil, so connected to the land,
so connected to the earth and nature to now, like even what we think is connected
has we've actually shifted our whole mindset and like we've re
in a sense that we've relabeled.
And I think this is something that's happening often.
We've what's the word when you name something redefine.
We've redefined what natural is.
We've redefined what, you know, healthy is.
And now it's like nearly everything that we get that's dairy
that looks healthy is actually just so processed and kind of ends up for us.
It's like, oh, wow, this is a total mess by the time we get it.
And it looks, you know, it has all the like the look of something fresh,
but it still ends up being like not great.
And like you said, the process of all that, like the life force
of actually the natural product is just so far removed.
Just like we've learned about the water to like, you know, you think water's
healthy, but there's no life force in this water
when it's going through all these pipes, being treated with all these chemicals
and all that kind of stuff.
And same same with the milk, you know.
So, yeah, so that's that's what I was eating for a little while.
Yeah. So you're keto'd hard.
And then I had a follow up scan and the cyst had shrunk a little bit.
And so for me, cutting out all sugars for like that period of time
and it just shrinking a little bit, I was like, OK, this isn't like
it's not targeted enough, you know.
But to be honest, in that time, I had only had really small niggles of pain
and it hadn't shouted and screamed at me loud enough to to really give me
a motivation to go, I need to do something serious about this.
So I was keeping it, I was managing it.
Yeah. Yeah. OK.
That's a total different mindset, isn't it?
And I think this is a huge part of the health journey for everyone.
You you can choose the carrot or the stick.
Yeah. In a sense of like you can choose
what's going to motivate us in this process to actually make
the mindset shift because you have to come to that point.
We go, OK, enough is enough.
You have to draw the line in the sand because it always feels
like a drastic moment wherever you are in your journey.
But to make change in a sense, you have to kind of come to this level
of motivation where it's like, OK, this is the lie.
You're going to have to have that big moment of like, oh, you're going to go,
OK, I'm going to take massive action right now.
Yeah. Before you actually will shift, because so often,
you know, our mindsets that got us to where we are,
they're a whole lifetime and maybe they're a whole culture
and maybe these generations behind them that have been embedded to that point.
And we finally wake up one day and realize everything I built my life
on is dysfunctional or all my thinking in this area of my life is not working.
And I'm going to change it.
So it's like this big kind of cataclysmic moment.
So yeah, so you'd kind of been managing it, doing something.
But when did your cataclysmic moment like the penny just like,
oh, I'm going to take massive, crazy.
It was very dynamic.
So I was on this beautiful
trip to the US.
I went to do some extra study and in the healing arts.
So conscious language, body language, translations,
reading erudology.
I was having this amazing time at a retreat
and meeting up with my young living essential oil family as well.
And so I was in the midst of this epic time.
It's the day I'm meant to fly home and my ovarian cyst decides to scream.
I'm meant to be flying home
and I'm trembling and pain like the pain just keep escalating, escalating.
Like it was so intense and I was so afraid because I was so far.
I hadn't seen my family for two and a half weeks at this point.
Had so much fun.
But now I'm like ready to go home.
So a beautiful new.
that I made, she kindly took me to ER and yeah, it was my most painful, lowest, scary moment of my
life. Went in for scans and like I'm literally just shaking from the pain. I don't, the medical
system, I don't know how they don't notice people in pain and give them real pain medication when
they need it, but the protocol is like the lowest, you know, stuff. When I got my finger cut off,
it didn't feel great. I go, you know, we rushed in, you know, kind of an emergency, like grab
the finger, jump in the car, all covered in blood, bleeding out everywhere, get to the medical
center. They put the needle into my finger, but then they put it all the way through to the other
side, so they put it right, a needle right through my finger, then they're squeezing the
painkiller and I'm like watching all the painkiller just dribbling on the floor. They put a
needle through my entire, they're going whack the needle through my entire finger. I don't know how
they didn't notice, like oh, we've just made it in, like we just got in there a little bit.
So they put the needle through my entire finger out the other side of my finger and then
squeezed most of the painkiller on the floor and I was like, I'm not, I was most upset not about the
fact that they just like jabbed a needle through my completely munted finger. I was like, you're
squeezing all the good stuff that I need all over the floor. I'm like, get that in my blood, you
know, like get that in my system. So I hear you, I hear you about, you know, like when you're in pain
and you just like something and then it's, yeah, it's not happening. So there you are shaking.
Trembling, having my scan and then I'm walking back just and then I have like a massive panic
attack because I'm just, I mean, I'm meant to be catching my flight. I need to go home. What if I'm
stuck in America in the hospitals? What if I have to have this ovarian cyst like taken out here and
now and like, yeah, so my friend, I stumbled in there, they like put the panic, you know, alarms
on and kind of all swamped around me. And my friend just held me in that moment and I was
hyperventilating and she just, she's a beautiful Christian, beautiful, loving soul. And she just
held me and held me until like my calm, my breathing down. And then I felt a real shift
after that. And then I got some narcotics and, you know, they had to do more scans and stuff.
Not from the street though, from the hospital?
Yeah, no, from the hospital.
Good, good, good, good.
They gave me some narcotics and yeah, things started to settle down enough. And I'm like,
I need to get on this flight. I want to go home. And so I was able to be discharged after a couple
of hours in there. And I literally was crying through the airport. I can't remember a lot of
it, but I was just like on narcotics and just so relieved I'm going to go home. But so, you know,
just been in pain.
Yeah, I'm sure that customs would be asking a few interesting questions.
I don't know. I don't remember. No, I think my friend helped me check in maybe first and said,
look, she's just had this. And so I remember when I had to transfer flights, there was a wheelchair
for me. And so I was like, this is so weird. I'm such a healthy person. I'm in a wheelchair
in between the flights. But yeah, I think narcotics helped me sleep. It was like 14
hours or something. So I was fine. I slept most of the flight home. That was my big turning point.
I'm like, right, I can't. I need to do something about this. That is like I see the ticking time
bomb. Like that was so scary. And you're in a place where this thing could flare up at any
moment and just take you out. So vulnerable. Yeah. Yeah. And so it's like, I've got to go
the medical model if I'm not going to do something drastic in a natural way, because, you know,
my husband's medical option is either get drugged or chop it out. But it's still not going to
resolve whatever imbalance in your body is actually creating this system, taking you out in the first
place. And then I was told if I have it removed because it's quite a significant size, it will
be quite a significant recovery, too. So we're talking weeks of recovery. I'm like, OK, what I
can what can I do naturally that, you know, might take a few weeks? And I'd meet a guy when I was on
my retreat and training over there who was specialized in detox. And he'd worked with some
brilliant world minds with detox. And he said, you just need to do a 21 day juice cleanse,
Rani, and you're going to be like, it'll clear those toxins, like it'll give your body the
thing it needs to. Not 21. He said 30 days. Sorry. I coach people through some 21 day.
He said do a 30 day juice cleanse. And and that was just really resonating.
for me. He said this before when I was telling him about the agreements, before lunch. Yeah,
before the big clear-up. So in a sense, God set you up. He gave you the piece of
the puzzle that you needed. Yeah, totally. So that was it. I mean, within a week when I came back
in New Zealand, I set myself up, did my research and that was it. So that was almost two years from
my first clear-up was the second one. Then I did the juice cleanse for 30 days. Okay,
so you did the juice cleanse for 30 days. What type of juice did you have? Yeah, so I made all
my own juices. Favorite morning juice was like celery, apple, lemon, ginger and greens. Oh,
powerful. Yeah. So really, really powerful cleansing, really nice morning juice.
And I was drinking three to four liters of juice a day. So that one, I'd try and make like a liter
of that. Then I had like a roots juice. So that would be like carrot and beetroot and lemon or
apple with ginger. Yeah. Was not my favorite one, but apparently ovaries and beetroot are really
good friends. Oh, there you go. If you've got ovaries, get some beetroot. I didn't like choose
beetroot, but I like it otherwise. Yeah. Yeah. Cucumber, pineapple, mint, that kind of like lime.
Yeah. Now for people who are watching us live, or if you're watching the replay,
why don't you drop in the comments as well? What are your favorite juices? What are your favorite
things to juice or your worst? You're like most like, I do not like this. I tried this and it
was terrible. So if you've got a favorite thing to juice or to smoothie, then drop that in the
comments. If you've got like, just like never this, I tried this and I hated it,
then drop those for us as well. Let us know if you've got some secret goodies there. So there
you were, this was 30 days. So you're not having any other, you're not doing your keto anymore.
You are the juice lady now. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, only juice. Only juice that I made for 30 days.
And the other thing is my husband was away for two of those weeks as well.
Okay. So you're making juice for yourself and food for the family.
Food for the kids. Yeah. Yeah. I know. It's like, but you know, like I said,
I was going to have a serious recovery if I had surgery. So I'm like, I'm committed.
And this is the thing, right? Where you have to,
in a sense, there comes a moment where you've got to get mad dog ruthless about stuff,
you know, like wherever you're going to draw the line, you go, okay, I want change.
You're going to have to find your line of where you go, okay, this is something that I'm going
to make a commitment on this. Cause so much of the process and the journey to actually make changes
psychological, you know, so often we want to do that right thing, but we just don't have the level
of motivation to do it. But when you do do it, it's like, you're going to have to take on a bit
of an attitude where you get a little bit mad dog ruthless and go, okay, right. I'm not going to do
that. And so you're all in 30 days, juice cleansing, everyone else is doing their thing,
but this is what I want to point out. Like everyone else can be doing their thing,
but when it comes to you getting your transformation that you're personally after,
you're going to have to leave behind the pack. You're going to have to leave behind what
everyone else is doing. And you're going to have to find the thing that your body needs right now.
And you're going to have to get mad dog ruthless, cut everything else out and just go all in and
take that massive action, whatever it is that you need right now. Yes. Yes. And I love that. And
that's like, you see, God set me up. Like I had someone tell me already, this is what you need to
do. And then my body screamed and then I'm like, I hear you. I hear you. I'm doing this. And so
this may not be for everyone. You know, some people think, oh, if I've got to experience this,
I need to do this. That might not be exactly what you're called to do. Like you don't know because
Holy Spirit is so good at setting us up and giving us the clues and bringing these
synchronicities in place. So you feel like you're divinely guided. And that was powerful because I
had that faith to just fuse with my juice cleanse because I felt so set up. I was like, yeah,
it's a no brainer. I'm going to be healed because I just got given this assignment really to do.
And was there a low point for you, even though you're like, I'm going to do this? But was there
still a low point for you in the juicing process? You're like, I've had enough juice.
Yeah, definitely. There would have been those days. That's in the evenings when I was like
over like sweet juices. I figured out how to make a really nice savory juice with tomato and.
like put a little bit of curry powder and salt and pepper
and like just very gently warm it
because it's got to keep like to be raw.
It's got to not go over temperature.
And it was like my saving grace
because I just really wanted something savoury.
Funny story for you on this
is I grew up on an organic market garden
and we grew tonnes of different crops there.
But one of the classics was beetroot.
That was one of our main crops my whole life.
In fact, I've got like multiple scars
from like cutting vegetables.
I don't know if you can see this through this hand here.
Like that scar, let me just see if I can zoom in.
That scar there, it's just a weird angle for my finger.
Come on finger, you can do this somehow.
That scar there, that's from cutting leeks.
That scar there, it's a little bit gangly on the computer.
That's from cutting beetroot.
That scar there, that's from cutting,
oh, that one, where are you?
Come on hand, I'm making a mess of this.
That one there, there you can kind of see,
that's from cutting beetroot.
But so a lot of beetroot, a lot of vegetables,
a lot of organics growing up,
but we also had a cow that we milked.
And every now and then we would give the cow,
like, you know, like what are the scraps are,
and the cow, we would give it beetroot every now and then.
And then the milk would turn pink from the beetroot.
And I'm just thinking right now,
because I'm a bit of a practical joker,
like Alana's about to have baby number four,
and you know, like six to eight weeks,
and I might have to get a whole bunch
of beetroot smoothies going on,
just to, you know, like, just to see what happens.
Oh, that's so funny.
Well, that was the weirdest thing with beetroot,
it makes your pee turn pink.
Yeah, it's such a good,
like, it stains your hands, it's good stuff,
but beware the beetroot.
Anyway, I'll have to get back to you on whether or not,
you know, how it influences Alana when she's breastfeeding,
but I'll probably have to sneak her some beetroot smoothies.
So that's just me being a little bit of a character.
What happened?
What was the end result from this juice adventure?
What happened?
Yeah, so I was able to go and get a scan after that.
Well, actually during the juice cleans,
because when I was lying in bed in the morning,
when my bladder's full, I could feel the cysts,
like I could, you know, palpate it myself.
And so as I was doing the juice cleans,
it was melting under my hands.
Like, I couldn't feel it after maybe a week and a half,
two weeks, I was like, I can't feel it anymore.
Oh, serious?
Yeah.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, my face was really, you know, soaring.
So that's why I felt really motivated to keep doing this.
Oh, that gets me buzzing on multiple levels.
One, because I actually remember a cool moment in Indonesia.
I was praying for a lady who had a tumor
and we could feel it just, you know,
going down under our hands while we're praying.
So that was a cool, so it just reminded me of that.
But this is the thing is like, I'm noticing it, right?
Because I'm on this Isagenix journey doing Isagenix,
which I'm loving, but you get synergy once in results.
There's nothing that's better to motivate you
than actually getting results.
I'll show you guys tomorrow, actually,
I'll show you a before and after of the last 60 days
on my journey of like, just weight loss,
body transformation,
but you just start getting momentum from it, you know,
because that's disappearing.
I've noticed for my journey, you know,
okay, I've got more energy now.
I am seeing results and it's like lighting up my motivation.
So the things that seemed really difficult before,
now your heart burns for them.
It's like in the kingdom,
you start to hunger what you feed on.
And when you start making positive change
and you start seeing the results, it's like,
oh, like it just feeds this momentum, feeds this hunger.
And all of a sudden things that you're like,
oh, that's really hard.
You're like, you're so lit up about them now.
You're like, oh no, this is the way.
Yes.
You become like a juice evangelist
or an Isagenix evangelist,
because you're like, this is freaking awesome.
Look what it's doing to my life.
Totally.
Yeah. And you just get such clarity.
Like I, you know, I just felt so switched on my brain,
my thinking, like, and my spirituality,
it was just so much more connected, you know,
like it's such a light diet, like just loaded with light.
You know, you're just feasting on the plants, goodness.
Like, and my face was glowing.
Like I literally just was beaming light, like physically,
because it was just freaking liquid light.
And it's really high vibrational food.
Yeah.
I usually, I've coached people to reduce cleanses from it.
And I usually do one myself.
I'm due to do one soon.
I'm one every year, at least once or twice a year.
Just like, not as long, five, seven days, um, just to clean.
So I could feel it shrinking and then I got to get a scan, um, on the same
week where I graduated as a naturopath.
So it was just sweet kisses from heaven.
I graduate next day, do a scan and the lady's looking, looking, looking.
And she's like, it's here as your leftover.
I'm like, yeah.
And she's like, you have a perfect left ovary.
There's not even any scar tissue.
Like perfect ovary.
And, um, again, it was one of those just synchronicities.
It just, you know, graduated as a naturopath, I've gone on this healing
journey myself, and I just was so, so encouraged.
That's amazing.
Now, uh, question.
How many kids have you guys got?
Three.
You got three?
Three kids.
And a dog and three cats and two alpacas and two goats.
Okay, sweet.
So you're like, you're not in that space where you want to test out
how functional that ovary is right now.
You're like, you're done at three.
You don't want to, you didn't want to just, you know, just test it out,
test out the functionality of it.
I'm very in tune with my body.
So I know my body works.
I know when I'm fertile, all that kind of stuff.
So that's all right.
We were, we were actually in the conversation of whether or not we
should or shouldn't have number four.
And, uh, while we were kind of, and we're probably leaning towards no, but maybe,
but, and then Alana was pregnant.
So I was like, oh, okay.
Easy.
Sorted.
No more decision-making.
Yeah.
That took that, uh, sort of that out.
So massive transformation.
I mean, you went from your life as a ticking time bomb to you're free.
What was the lift?
What, how did it feel like the weight off your shoulders?
What, what did it do to you?
So it was a really empowering journey.
So empowering.
Like we, you guys were talking about yesterday, medical model.
So in, in no judgment, I will say there's so many, like you did so many
beautiful people with beautiful hearts, but that system and what I was offered
was so damning, so disempowering.
So you don't know how to do anything right.
We just need to micromanage your dysfunction in your body.
And so this journey, like, I, we should get into that.
How did they, you know, did you talk to your doctor about the fact that, hang on,
I'm not going to do surgery.
I think I'm just going to do a juice cleanse.
What did you say to the doctor or what was the process that you went through
there? Because, you know, when we're talking with Yana yesterday and for so
many other people, they've had a really, um, really hard experience in that
process when they've been in the medical model, medical model saying, Hey, we've
got to medicate.
We've got to like cut it out.
These are your only two options.
If you don't do that, you're insane.
Yeah.
But what was, what was your journey?
I didn't really communicate with them too much, but after the scan, because I
knew what they would say.
I had two kids.
I'd go when they're sick.
Oh, it's just a virus.
Give them Pamela.
You know, it's just like, yeah.
So in a sense, you're like, oh, and I have this sometimes as well.
When I know what a conversation is going to look like, I'll be like, well, never
mind. I'm not going to have that.
I'm just going to do my own thing.
Yeah. Yeah.
So, but then when she got my scan results, you know, when they, cause the lady told
me, so I didn't have the official scan results, but it was gone.
But the lady looking told me, then when it get forward to my doctor and she's, we
had an appointment, she's like, oh, I wonder if it like just burst or something.
I was like, no, I did this.
Like I could feel it going.
She's like, you know, she didn't really believe me.
That's crazy.
Right.
So she didn't believe you that you'd done a deuce fast and it worked.
Yeah.
And I do want to say it wasn't just the juicing I mentioned to you privately.
Like there was so many holistic things I was doing as well to just work with my
body to release toxins.
So I was using castor oil packs as well.
That's like a hot water bottle and castor oil on my abdomen just to help facilitate
that detoxification.
I was doing the breath work, the meditation, and also was really guided by Holy
Spirit to do inner work around your ovaries are two with creativity, right?
They create life.
And the left side of our body represents the feminine side.
So this cyst was a collection of toxins around my femininity around.
I had shame.
I had so much shame around being a female, how to carry myself and the
religious thinking that it just heaped a lot of burdens on me as a female.
As we know, that's a big deal.
Yeah.
So I had grace to process and release a lot of that.
So I used essential oils and just a lot of.
forgiveness, therapy, and emotional release techniques to
really heal this on every level.
Can I get personal with you, maybe a little bit vulnerable?
Yeah.
For you. I mean, this is huge. And this is actually fantastic,
because the session coming up with Professor Robin is about
the fact that we are triune beings, you know, triune God,
triune beings, body, soul and spirit made in the image of a
triune God. And that, you know, which we're primarily talking
about the health side of things, but body, soul and spirit all
dance together. And it's why I loved yesterday having Matt on
board and praying for people for healing and so many people
responding to the words of knowledge and seeing healing
happening on on there. And it's exciting when we do these as
well, because we get people healed on the replays for just
such a long time to come as people watching the replays,
God just touching them. So that supernatural element, but for
you and the shame factor. Now, this is quite a vulnerable
question. But if there was a particular experience in your
life that caused you to carry shame, because often we can, you
know, often there's this process of trace, face and replace, you
trace a lie that is the origin of your shame back to an
experience where it's like, that's like the first time that
you learned shame. What would you say for you was one of those
big moments where you just, where shame was birthed, and you
just learned to live and carry shame?
Yeah. I don't know if it's one particular moment, but just
being Indian, you know, having my mom and family being Indian,
my dad's Kiwi, they're very modest, conservative, cover your
body. And there's a lot of body shame in terms of females should
cover up and then you marry that with Christian thinking, you
know, like women should never cause a man to stumble. So so
much as like, this weight of your body is actually, you know,
a bit bad and wrong, and you should cover it. And it's like,
there was there, that was a major part of what I was letting
go. So that was a major part of the toxic thinking of my that my
body is actually a little bit bad and wrong. And it makes
people do bad and wrong things. Yeah. Totally, actually, the
whole psychology around sexuality in the church is
really quite, it's quite messed up. If you actually look at some
of the history of it, some of the history of it of when all
the way back to Augustine, and another guy, St. Jerome, and
they actually said that people who were married or priests who
were married were a lower class citizen. Now, they actually
started bringing this, this psychology and that the celibate
priests were a higher class, you know, like a high class human,
because anyone who was married, like and had a sex life, you're
a lower class human, which is like what you're a lower class
human. And it's kind of crazy. This is, you know, these saints
who've been heralded as like, you know, heroes of the faith,
but bringing this, yeah, so much shame around sexuality, male or
female, but definitely, I think the ladies get the, I would say
ladies in general get the worst part of the deal, in terms of
that shame or causing a man to sin was probably like, that's
probably his responsibility, right?
It's just, it's both, right? It's just, it's just the whole
concept or the framework of it is really, really flawed. So I
did a lot of that inner work. And of course, in my marriage,
and our sexuality and relationship was like, it was a
very empowering time for me to ask myself questions and to be
more in my body and to feel and, yeah, make decisions from my
heart, rather than just doing being the good wife thing. And
you and Alana have talked about it. And I love what you do.
Really, if anyone wants to, if anyone wants to have some really
hilarious conversations around sex, or go deep into that topic,
we, Alana and I wrote a book last year called The Seven Sacred
Pathways to Intimacy. And we talk really vulnerably about how
terrible our sex life was. And, and how God got in there and
changed that. And yeah, and same for Alana in terms of the really
strongly religious background that she had that put so much
shame on like just how bad
anything to do with sex is like bad and evil.
And that really got in her psychology a lot.
So, yeah, shame there.
Yeah. Messed up our marriage for years.
So it's definitely stuff that's worth going deep on.
And I know that for so many people right now and that
I mean, if you look at the average, you know, it's like statistics
in New Zealand, over 50 percent of girls are sexually abused
by the time they hit 16.
I mean, so the statistics around that are carrying shame
from sexual abuse or shame from
any time we come to the conclusion that we are less than perfect.
Yeah. Yeah. And it's
this is another huge part of the journey, which is our theology
and our psychology should meet like healthy theology and healthy psychology
are very good friends.
But when there's an imbalance, which there is in most places,
you know, it causes chaos.
And one of the big factors of that is shame.
But when you really discover sonship and identity,
you discover that you were made perfectly in the image of God.
And when you really get that shame melts off and everything that goes with it,
because humans like shame is toxic for humans.
Totally.
That is the low vibration right there.
Just keeps you disempowered.
And anyone who's walking in that shame and then they meet the medical model
and then they're like, this is all that we have for you.
They receive that because they're like, oh, I'm only worthy of this.
This is like I earned that, you know.
And that's why I love this health summit, because it's so empowering.
We're just saying you're so worthy.
And like what's going on in your body is it's a gift.
Actually, I really saw this whole thing as a gift to be empowered.
I would have kept going with my toxic thinking if I didn't have this thing.
Wake me up and go.
There's something about your feminine femininity
and your creative potential that you're holding back that is toxic thinking.
This is my gift to go, OK, what can I let go?
How can I change these mindsets and these thought patterns
and do that work at the same time?
And I am so much more empowered because of it.
And I and I trust God in me because of it.
Because, yeah, wonderful result that we journeyed
and so many more things in our family and our health that we did it
the way that nature's way, the way that God gifted us to do.
And we've seen wonderful results and not just results,
but long term just goodness.
Yeah, absolutely. Cool.
Hey, so for the people who are watching us live or on the replay,
why don't you just drop down in the comments as well?
Some of the areas where you've seen breakthrough from shame.
You know, this is the power.
This is Jesus.
You know, this is John 832.
Jesus said, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
And what that free looks like is actually the divine life,
which includes divine health.
So if you have had an experience, it'd be cool just to drop that
in the comments as well.
Like, what have you experienced that has set you free from shame?
Be cool to hear those stories from you guys.
Now, we've got a few moments
left and we're keen to go one for an adventure with you
and keen to cover a couple of other things.
So what's on your hit list right now?
I know we've definitely got an adventure plan for everyone.
It's going to be fun. But yeah,
what would be great to cover for you right now?
I just just landing like the holistic approach.
Like, I just want to just land. Yeah, go for it.
So like I said, I was training in America, the power of our words.
Obviously, scripture talks about the power of all words,
but affirmations were huge for me.
So because I was holding back my creativity, my feminine,
you know, all that stuff.
These were my affirmations through my juice cleans, too.
So I was like, you know, on all angles, I was
focusing light in every area for this.
These toxins to be removed and self love.
Like juice cleansing is actually not cheap.
If you're buying, you know, organic or spray free produce to juice,
it uses a lot.
So there was this real step up for me of I am worthy
to spend this money on my body just for myself.
As a mom, we have so many mom matters out there that give everything,
all the finances, all the time energy goes to their children
and not nourishing the mother themselves.
And so I want to speak to moms that you are so worthy.
And as your children see you nourishing yourself, looking after yourself,
having boundaries to go, this is mom's time and space to just be.
You're actually gifting your children so much more than if you just
give them everything from an empty cup.
So self love is massive.
I, I believe that all healing takes place between.
sandwich routine, love and peace.
So peace and that calming the nervous system,
just fully receiving that just as a naturopath,
you know, they were part of my framework
of how I prescribed things for my clients.
Yeah, beautiful.
I love that as well.
It's part of the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge
that we do in Raising Royalty is daily declarations.
And I've got like,
this is the printed out version of my daily declarations.
They're on my desk all the time,
but most of the time they're on my,
like I use my phone most of the time,
got them written on my phone,
got my audio version of it as well,
recorded on my phone.
And I think that there's nothing more powerful in my life.
That's actually framed my future
and constructed the reality that I live in.
I don't think anything's more powerful
than my daily declarations.
And if I look at,
if I track the last two years of my life,
well, especially the last 18 months,
which I've been doing these declarations
pretty much every day for nearly 18 months,
it has redesigned my world in ways
that are beyond what I could have imagined possible.
It's kind of crazy as well,
because I often start that process of a declaration,
declaring things that I don't even believe.
I start declaring things
that are like even beyond what I believe,
and the purpose of that is Ephesians 3.20,
which is beyond what you can ask, dream, pray, think,
believe for, or even imagine.
So I try and like have these courageous,
outrageous moments where I go like,
what's beyond my belief?
And then capture that in a declaration and write it down,
and then start declaring.
And I see like,
well, it's the same as when you make that move,
you start seeing momentum on,
you start seeing divine appointments happening,
you start seeing reality shifting around this declaration.
And all of a sudden, it's like,
oh my gosh, my world is being redesigned,
and it's coming out.
And I have that same declaration around my health as well.
And I have been secretly declaring over Alana's life,
right, as well, around her health.
I'm like fitter, faster, and stronger than ever before.
And she's maybe between six to eight weeks
before she's due,
she's at the gym three times a week,
still working out and doing great.
I'm like, come on, baby,
you're like fitter, faster, and stronger,
just like the declaration.
But when I started making that declaration,
never went to the gym,
like never worked out, never did exercise.
And I'm like, yes,
it's like it's totally reshaping our family, everything.
So affirmations are wild and beautiful.
So powerful.
So cool.
Now, I know you've got a secret weapon as well.
When you make your smoothies, your juices, et cetera,
you don't just use tap water.
You've got something going on with your water.
What is it?
Tell us a bit about your water.
Yeah, so almost two years ago,
I think we upgraded our water.
I've always been really sensitive to water,
so we filtered it, you know.
But we bought an agit-kanga machine,
which is like alkalines the water,
as well as like, what's the special word?
I always forget.
It hydrogenates it?
Electro-
Ionizes it.
That's the word.
So it just creates it living again.
And my favorite way to describe it is like,
when water's like running down a waterfall
and it's like running on the rocks,
it's like bumping on the rocks.
It's getting energized by the earth.
If you've studied grounding in negative and positive ions,
you can see how that's at play.
So it's being invigorated and energized
and having a life force just coming through it.
And so that's what the special plates in the machine do.
They just bring the life force back into the water.
So yeah, that water's been so powerful.
Put that in my smoothie.
Every morning I wake up, have my drink water next to my bed.
So I'll drink-
I'll do a big cheers to you on that as well, Boom,
because that's one of my secrets too,
is I have an agit-kanga water.
It's in my smoothies.
It's in my drink.
And it's a game changer.
It was one of the reasons why it's so easy
for me to drink, you know, two liters is like,
that's almost like dehydration level for me.
Like I've barely drunk anything,
but if I'm really working out or whatever,
like three to five liters is actually like-
Wow.
Three liters is pretty normal.
Like that's just kind of stock standard.
If I'm really working out, if it's really hot,
you know, then you might drink, you know,
like four liters is not a big deal.
It just goes down so well.
So drinking water and increasing my level of water intake
has been huge as well.
So, hey, why don't we get you to get your jandals on
and let's go for a little adventure.
Rani has an amazing garden that you definitely need.
definitely want to check out. So she's going to log in on her phone now.
Yes, I'm going. And the style.
Yeah. You log in on your phone.
Oh, I will.
In all this video for you, but you can go and log in your phone,
jump, get your jandals on and take us for an adventure to the garden.
Who's excited about seeing Ronnie's garden?
Cool. Let's.
Yeah. If you're excited about seeing Ronnie's garden, say yes.
Show me the garden.
We should see her pop up in here in a second.
Fantastic. OK, she is jumping in.
I'm going to remove this one.
OK. All right.
All right. Here we are.
Ronnie on the move. Show us your farm.
You live on a little bit of land.
Oh, yeah. He's just walking down.
We can see the beach there.
Oh, right on the beach. So good.
Yeah. It just doesn't stay.
Yep. It's a little bit of a
half pipe there. Yeah.
Let's get some fruit trees.
We're growing here. Nice.
Yeah, I think that gardening more and more is
going to become part of this health revolution.
Reconnecting with the land.
Oh, what have we got here?
So this is my watermelon flower and corn.
So you need to check out these cute little babies.
Oh, hello. Oh, hello.
Watermelon. Yeah.
And giant sunflowers are taller than me.
Yeah. Yeah.
And we planted these, the goats.
OK. How are you guys doing?
And we planted 100 corn because we're.
You like corn? We're just ambitious.
Great. And the thing is, and you would know about this.
We've been planting like heritage or organic
seed varieties so that,
you know, we can.
Yeah, I hear it.
Yeah, we're struggling a little bit with reception there with Rani out in the garden.
But for those who are watching, why don't you drop in the comments as well?
Are you a gardener? Yes or no.
And if you're a gardener, what are you growing?
Wow. Look at this. Rani's garden is amazing.
No, I should. Can I turn the camera around?
I'll just do it. Yeah.
So that's Kumara. Nice.
Some pumpkins. Look at these big guys in there.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, look at that good stuff.
There's another pumpkin plant that grew way over in the paddock here.
It's huge. That's one plant.
Wow. It's for 10 meters or something.
Nice. Corjic, cucumber.
Tomatoes, cheeky white butterflies.
Yes. Plenty of white butterflies there.
I think I just saw a bit of cavolo nero.
Some leeks, cabbage.
Yep. Leeks.
I've never grown bustle shrouts before, and they've been incredible.
So, yeah, my husband used to hate them,
but he says they're actually really, really nice from my garden.
So that's a win.
Cool. Beans, greens,
smoothies, celery, some
some walnuts, broccoli here.
Oh, look at this good stuff.
Yeah. Amazing.
So, yeah, it's been very dry.
We haven't had rain here properly for like three weeks or something.
So it's been lots of watering required.
But it's going good.
Tomatoes should be booming soon and we'll get the corn coming soon.
That is fantastic.
Well, hey, thank you so much for your time today.
We've been so blessed by your story.
And I want to say as well, so blessed by your rhythm.
And I love that we get to finish this chat in your garden
because it catches the rhythm, the fact that you're right there by the.
beach. And I'm sure you're going to head to the beach shortly
after you sign off. Is that right?
Sounds like it.
Yeah, yeah. All the crews down there. Well, that's just
beautiful. So thank you so much for everything that you've
shared with us. We're so honoured to just get to share a
life journey with you. We're excited to share this divine
health revolution with you. So I'm just excited about where we
get to go in the future as we journey together and maybe
lasting. If you've got some tips for people on juice
cleansers, you're like, where would you recommend they go? Or
can they connect with you if they want coaching? What would
you suggest around cleansers?
Yep. Yeah, it's really, it's really great to have someone to
coach you through a cleanse because it's just lots of other
additional things you can do to support your body and releasing
and just that emotional support. I have made like a full
kind of workshop on doing a juice cleanse that I recorded
and uploaded on YouTube. So people can reach out to me and I
can send them that link if they want to watch my full story and
all the details including like bowel motions and all those
wonderful details. And also, I offer coaching as well for juice
cleansing. So if people watch the thing and they still want my
one on one support and coaching, then I offer that too.
So yeah, it's a real joy and honor to empower people that
they can do these things that when you give your body what it
needs, what God designed us to have that your body will
balance, it will heal. And, and we can do this.
Yeah, fantastic. Cool, guys. Well, I love that. And yeah, I'm
excited just around all that you have brought today, all that
you are bringing to people's lives. It's been an absolute
delight. So thank you. As we wrap up today, on you and your
garden, your family and all of our crew who's out there. If
you've appreciated Rani, whether you're live or you're watching
the replay, just say love you, Rani. Give us some love there.
Now let me give you some tips. If you want to get the link to
Rani's YouTube, or if you want to connect with her for
coaching, a couple of things that you can do if you're on
Facebook, and you're watching this, then just like tag her or
reach her Rani Curtis, you can see I'll tag her in the in the
description of this video when I jump off so that you can see how
to get in touch with it. But also, if you're watching this in
the replay, and you're like, Oh, I'd really love to get coaching
from her or something, just email support at raising
royalty.com and say, Can you please connect me with Rani
Curtis, so that I can get some coaching and we will hook you up
with a contact for Rani. Have you got an email or website or
anything like that that people could visit? Or is YouTube going
to be a good?
Yeah, um, my website has some links there as well. Just
harmonichealth.nz. So I could harmonichealth.nz.
Beautiful. Fantastic. I'll put that in.
And I'm so honoured Benji to be on this and love what you guys
are doing and what we are creating, just empowering people
and taking ownership for our health, that radical
responsibility. It just lights me up to see people really
bringing heaven to earth through all aspects of our lives. So
thank you so much.
Oh, such a delight. And let's wrap it up with a prayer. Yes.
Papa, Jesus, Holy Spirit. I thank you so much for Rani. I
thank you for her amazing story. I thank you for the wisdom that
you've given her and I thank you for the life that's been
released today. I thank you for a blessing over her life, over
her marriage, over her family, over her garden, over her dreams
and her creativity. I thank you that you unleash the divine life
on her and in her and through her in exceptional ways that go
beyond what she could have asked, dreamed or imagined. And
Papa, what she's shared with us today, I ask that it would be as
a seed that bears a fruit in all of our lives. Papa, I ask that
you cause explosions of life just to take place. Papa, I thank
you for shame melting away. I thank you for wisdom and
revelation and insight for people on the next best step for
their health. Papa, I thank you for explosions of creativity. I
thank you for divine alignment in Jesus' name. And Lord, I
thank you for that massive release of toxicity, body, soul
and spirit and bringing people into a place of divine alignment
that produces
the divine life in divine health in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Have a great day. Thank you.
Thank you, everybody. Bye. Bye.
