Hello, dear friends and welcome to Life of Love, where we gather in curiosity and joy to experience what life is giving us and how we can show up in our highest self. However it looks that day, whether it’s a glossy, wonderful magazine cover day or if it’s a, gotta just get myself out of bed and do my best. And all of them are being held with the most grace and understanding and just

you know, just support because it’s not easy and you have to appreciate the days where you’re resting and you’re recouping as much as the days as you feel like you’re being the rock star that you always want to show up as, but all are needed and all the down days lead to the higher days. And well, I want to recognize that I haven’t done an episode in like three weeks. So I apologize if people missed me. I definitely missed being on here, but I also, in that vein, I was taking a little

a little break and following like this, this urge to just chill. And I started drawing and doing more, more right brain activities, getting out of my language center so much and being a speech pathologist, I’m always using words and trying to, to communicate well. And sometimes I just want to shut it down. And that’s what I did.

Beth Mielbrecht (01:03)
Thank

Julie Hilsen (01:25)
So thank you for being here. I appreciate your ears and coming back even though I took a break. You guys are always in my heart and this community is so important to me. So thank you for being here first and foremost. This is about the community. And so I’m just really excited to introduce our guest this week. And her name is Beth Mealbrecht and she’s coming here from Northern, well, Buffalo, New York.

I’d like to just start by saying hello and welcome to the show.

Beth Mielbrecht (01:56)
Thanks, Julie. I’m so happy to be here. This is a wonderful space that you’ve created.

Julie Hilsen (02:01)
Thank you, thank you. So what I’m gonna do is also create a more dynamic space and set our intention and then we’ll get started. So everyone hang in there. what I do is I sort of get in my feet and sort of get in my heart and try to quiet all the noise. And if the listeners wanna do this, you’re welcome to. If you’re driving, please stay aware of your surroundings or do this with discernment.

and just getting into my body and my breath. And I’m gonna set this in tension.

Dear God, goddess, creator, thank you for bringing us to this moment. Thank you for each set of ears listening and hearts tuning in to bring forth their highest good, to show up with a curious mind. I thank you for the resources that brought us together. I request the Holy Spirit to be here with us to help us in clarity and understanding.

and compassion for ourselves and for our environment and for all the things we’re navigating. Dear God and Holy Spirit and Mother Gaia, as we plant ourselves in this dear earth and use your resources, we’re all collaborating here and we’re all supporting each other in ways that we have no idea how it’s happening.

We are tuning into this frequency of love and compassion and divine mother. And so I invite my team to collaborate with Beth’s team as they see fit and easy. And I ask our teams to help us create this episode for the highest good and for the light of all.

And it’s sparkly and wonderful. I see the colors coming together and I thank you, thank you, thank you as I always adore this time and this creation and I thank you for this container. And I honor Beth’s journey as she openly shares with her heart and her energy such beautiful things and so it is. Thank you.

This is so fun, Beth. Thank you for saying yes to Life of Love and reaching out. I’m really excited to share your story and your journey and what you’re doing. So again, I appreciate you.

Beth Mielbrecht (04:26)
my pleasure. This is perfect. This is the best introduction. I feel so great. I feel wonderful. We should meet every day, Julie, so we can start our day this way.

Julie Hilsen (04:33)
Sure. I

love it. Hey, why not? know, like set your life up for the highest good and just see how the stars fall. know, it’s, do miss, you know, I’ve reminded myself that my angels were close today and I haven’t done that in a little while. I’ve been concentrating more on God’s light.

I don’t know if you know the phrase anor. It’s Arabic for God’s light, anor. And I’ve been saying that a lot. I’ve been asking for God’s light. But in the same respect, I haven’t really been saying angels I invite you in too. And I think they missed me acknowledging them directly. And I know that they’re part of God’s team and they all work together, but.

There’s something about the angel guides that they want to have recognition and they want to be invited in because that gives them more authority to, or liberty, I guess, to help and give us messages. I don’t know about you if you get messages, but mine aren’t like loud in my ear. It’s like the subtle, it’s a subtle feeling that I’m like, yeah, the angels, that’s the angels. And I can tell, cause it’s like,

It’s very lovely. And it’s also like when Jesus reaches out, it’s very lovely. And Mother Mary, it’s just a lovely sentiment. So I don’t know. I guess I want to remind everyone to ask your angels to be a part of your life. It’s really not a big deal, but it’s not a big deal to do, but it’s a big deal to them and to your life. Because what does it even hurt?

It doesn’t hurt anybody to say, angels help me have a better day. Like what? I guess, I guess it’s a weird thing to say out loud, but hey, it’s your life. You can claim it.

Beth Mielbrecht (06:24)
say it in your head because

Yes, yes, because they need permission. They need us to they need us to to acknowledge.

Julie Hilsen (06:30)
They need permission. Oh my gosh. Well, Beth,

I cannot glaze over your path and how you started with engineering. you’ve pretty, I’ve had a couple engineers on my show. I don’t know if you realize this, but Scientific Minds can make this 360 where it’s like, oh, there’s other things besides what I can touch, feel, and measure. And,

I think that it’d be a really great intro to you for you to explain, you know, what was tugging on your soul to say, I’m going to look for something more. Was it motherhood? Was it your connection to Mother Gaia? Or how did you reach this other dimension of your existence? And when did it happen? I’m always curious about the transformation or the enlightenment or whatever. People say ascension symptoms. How did you experience it?

Beth Mielbrecht (07:28)
Well, I actually would say it’s, I experienced it as all the same thing. It’s not, it’s not a shift. It’s not a leaving one and going to something else, a rising up or 180 degree. I understand energy from the mundane world-based electrical wiring in your house, all the way through your aura and your energy field. They’re actually the same thing. And

I came to the more subtle energies through the birth of my son. So you’re right, motherhood. is always a portal. There is something that says, hello, there’s more. And I experienced that as there’s more than what I can see and measure right now. I don’t look at it as

As a change, just look at like people say how I get that question all the time. How did you change from one thing to the other? I’m like, no, I am still fully a mechanical engineer. I have an engineering brain and I am also someone who is very proficient and understanding with the energies of the world. So that story is I’ve been a mechanical engineer for 35 years. My dad’s an engineer. That’s how I became acquainted with like the cool things. So you’re, if you don’t know a mechanical engineer,

are we are the ones who do the hands on tangible things. We build the cars, we put, make sure that the heating in your building works, your air conditioning. We’re going to find a problem and build something tangible with our hands. No like invisible things, no, no thought processes. We like just thought experiments. We need to do something that way. I am a problem solver. When I see a problem,

I build something and solve it. And there’s a real something there. So from mechanical engineering, super grounded, very practical, always aware of my body. And I did not know that most other people are not really aware of their bodies. And I was super aware of like what movement practices I liked, what foods were.

beneficial for me and not beneficial for me. Like, gosh, after one bite, I would say, that is not for me. Whereas other people might eat a whole plate. And then the next day, I feel terrible. I got sick. I don’t know why. No idea. Well, because they have no concept of like what they put in. You know, I’m very sensitive to noises and things that I see.

And that’s all consumption. It’s not just food. It’s everything in our awareness. So motherhood, it does for most women, cracks them open. And mine was in this experience. So imagine you are a new mother and I have my infant who’s, my son is a few weeks old and he’s finally asleep. And so I have him in my hands and I put him down in his crib.

Julie Hilsen (10:07)
Hmm.

.

Beth Mielbrecht (10:29)
and he’s sleeping and I think I am brilliant. He’s sleeping, he’s still sleeping. I can walk away now. So I walk away down the hallway with my hands up like this and my hands are raised and I’m a few steps away out of the room and there are steel cables in between my palms and his little body. Okay, what is going on? What’s going on?

Julie Hilsen (10:55)
Just got chills.

Beth Mielbrecht (10:58)
And wouldn’t you know it when it is time to learn something, the universe brings it. And before I knew it, the little massage studio down the road hung up a sign that says, now offering Reiki. My husband’s watching television and there’s a show about energy healing, hands-on energy healing. And somebody else mentions it like, all right, I’m going to go to a class. I’m going to learn this. And my son, like all of our children are here to help us grow. And he was basically saying,

Julie Hilsen (11:04)
Mm.

Beth Mielbrecht (11:25)
Mom, you need to up level. You need to learn how to take care of me. And so I took care of my son with hands on healing and I became an Araiki master teacher. I only did a little bit of teaching because I really felt that the calling was to take care of my immediate family. It was not really to go forth and share this with the larger world. Of course I did, but that wasn’t the primary goal. And

Julie Hilsen (11:44)
Mmm.

Beth Mielbrecht (11:51)
That was beautiful. And what I say is, as an engineer, I really love the structure of Reiki. It was downloaded, channeled by a Japanese man in the 1930s. And there’s structure, and there’s Japanese characters, and there’s a format and a framework. And that was so easy for me to get into and understand that. Now, if I do Reiki…

Julie Hilsen (12:03)
you

Beth Mielbrecht (12:18)
There is no format. There is whatever my intuition tells me to do but in the beginning it was really helpful So for everyone listening who says that sounds interesting Everyone can do hands-on healing every culture in the world has it you do it naturally to yourself to your children You hold your stomach you put your hand on your forehead You put your hand on your heart you you already do it and if you would like a framework, there’s many schools

Julie Hilsen (12:25)
you

Beth Mielbrecht (12:47)
and you can pick a framework that will get you there, but then you’ll leave it behind because it’s just the first rung of the ladder. And so that’s what Reiki was for me. And then after that was homeopathy. And then that was a brilliant way of balancing out, seeing the electricity and energy in the physical world with feeling it and knowing it and seeing the results of working with it.

in the subtle realms. And it’s all electromagneticism. And once you start, you’ll see it everywhere.

Julie Hilsen (13:19)
Hmm.

there’s so many gems there. I’m just like, but I want to, I want to reel it in a little because what’s your interpretation of the steel beams with that meta or that visual? Yeah. The cables that you saw when you’re walking away and I’ve been in it. It’s like, finally they’re asleep and I’m just going to go, I’m sneaking away. Like I can, I can picture myself and that they finally, you know, they’re, they’re fed, they’re dry, they’re, they’re sleeping. You’re like,

Beth Mielbrecht (13:33)
the steel like cables.

Julie Hilsen (13:50)
can just go shut my eyes or you’re just like stay, no don’t wake up. Everybody’s been a mom has done this, but you saw a visual connection of what’s your interpretation of what that was.

Beth Mielbrecht (13:54)
us.

That’s so interesting. No one’s ever asked me that before. And it is always clearly been steel cables. Like it has never wavered. It has always been steel cables. Like if you see a suspension bridge and you see all those many strands of coil, like, so that means the bond between mother and child is really strong. Strong as a steel cable, holds up a bridge. And also it…

Julie Hilsen (14:11)
Mm-hmm.

They’re woven. Yeah.

Beth Mielbrecht (14:29)
was strong enough to get my attention that I wasn’t just imagining things. It was so strong that I couldn’t ignore it. even in that moment, it was the imagery and words of steel cables that

I know what a steel cable is. I can calculate the tensile strength of a steel cable. I know what that represents. So that was a phrase and an image that connected with something I knew so that maybe if it was, if this happened to somebody else, there would be a different image and a different phrase. But steel cable meant this is powerful. It’s incredibly strong.

you need to use it and know it and you have it with your son and also that there was something that it was also that it’s it’s a part of my son and it’s a part of me and so it’s not like there’s only a connection that I have this here as well so that’s what I would say steel cables means

Julie Hilsen (15:35)
I love it. And the other thing that just really sparked in me, I have total chills. telling me your story and I’m just like, oh, but the way you’re honoring the parts of your life, I mean, you worked really hard to be an engineer. It’s part of who you are. And you’re like, I’m using my engineering skills to be the best mom.

And as you go through these paths, or these check marks, or these benchmarks, I want to say, you realize what in the past supports you to be in this moment. I keep my son’s 22, he just graduated from college, and I was like, you have no idea how these things are all going to fit together. It’s so exciting. It’s so exciting for me to watch.

from the moment he’s first started playing with toys and how he played with toys and his choices that he’s made and choices I’m like, what is he thinking? But you just love him and like you said, you have this bond and it is, can’t break that bond. So just giving other mothers that visual, that’s a gift. So I hope any other moms that are listening,

realize that they’re bridges of love for their children. And even if it’s hard to love that child, sometimes it’s hard to love them when they do things or they take you for granted or things aren’t perfect. And they’re never perfect, but there’s moments where you might feel like you’re not there for them the way you could be when you were giving them baths or reading them books and holding them. You wish you could be there for them like that again.

but there’s beauty and wisdom in each step. that’s what really, Beth, really tugged my heart about your work is the deep listening that you’ve shown people how to do and that you’re a part of, and it’s listening to yourself. So can you share some of the breakthroughs that you’ve helped people gain by, you you have that quiz on your website.

that guides people through different situations. what have you seen when people start to just really listen to what their bodies are saying and how they’re responding to the environment or different things? What have you seen people, like the biggest changes or maybe just like tweaks that are life impacting? Like what’s coming to your mind when you think about people really tuning into themselves?

Beth Mielbrecht (18:12)
So people make and have the capacity to make amazing, enormous changes when they get back into alignment, both physically and emotionally. So the clients who have had these transformations that I’ll mention, they didn’t just take a supplement. They didn’t just have a green smoothie or cut out some carbs and all this happened.

They shifted internally, got back into alignment. And once they were into alignment, everything was easier. The bad things fell away and the good things dropped in. I am not kidding. This is how it works. So when we work together, I use all of my skills. I use my skills from Reiki. I use my skills as a homeopath. I use my skills in bio-energetic testing and in health coaching and in listening.

And what happens is that we work on making sure there’s good nutrition. Sometimes people are eating healthy, but there still can be some deficiencies because our bodies can sometimes not process things the way they want to. There can be blockages. So we work on nutrients, work on environmental toxins. The world is not as lovely as it used to be. And so there’s…

pollutants in the air and the water on our foods. And so those create blockages in the body and our body stores them up to protect us from them. And so those need to be helped as well. And then the last is elimination. Like, we getting the waste out? It’s good to put the nutrition in, but we have to get the waste out. And then finally, there’s emotion. So it’s support for your emotions where you are right now, the stress that you’re aware about.

the grief that you’re aware about, whatever, you we have this certain level of things that we are aware about, but then there’s trapped emotions that we’re holding onto deep in our heart and life moves so, so fast. We never have enough time to process. So among those four areas, when those are supported and your body starts rebalancing,

unblocking those things start moving things happen. So what are some of the things that have happened? Two clients left got new jobs. They’re old jobs like we’re like, I can’t do this anymore. New jobs like without really even trying fell into place. One moment it was in a very toxic relationship didn’t know how she was going to get out because that’s all she had known.

There was a lot of attachment, even though she knew it wasn’t good for her. That fell apart. He left. And she ended up going on a trip and was the most magnetic person. Everywhere she went, on the airplane, in the restaurant, at the event, people coming up to her telling her, I’m so glad we met. You are beautiful. What? Like all the compliments that she never got.

Julie Hilsen (20:56)
Mm-hmm.

Beth Mielbrecht (21:17)
just were flooding into her from this new work trip from the new job. It was just amazing. So other things that happen is when your nutrients are balanced, the toxins aren’t clogging up the works and every the lymph and the liver, the elimination system is working. I have a client who was able to do start dancing again. She was a nurse and a lot of stress being a nurse in a hospital and

She did professional ballroom dancing. Well, amateur, but really the whole sequin dress, the spinning around, being lifted up in the air, the whole works. And she had to stop because her body was being crippled by pain. We worked together. When the body opens up, things are in alignment. She was able to dance again. So simple things like that, plus many other.

Julie Hilsen (21:59)
Mm.

Beth Mielbrecht (22:08)
stories of normal aches and pains or lightnesses, but just whatever happens to people are unique to you. And I love sharing those stories, but everyone has their own story of healing.

Julie Hilsen (22:17)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and we were talking in a pre-interview about this innate sense of, know, you know what needs to change, but like you addressed, things happen so fast and you priorities and distractions and it might be just like this little, your stomach just doesn’t feel right when certain things are talked about or you notice your palms are sweating. Your body is sending these micro messages.

your headaches. Headaches don’t just come out of nowhere. mean, you could be dehydrated, could be the basic of that, what led you to be dehydrated? You weren’t listening to your signs, you weren’t feeling your mouth, or by the time you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated. But I mean, if these headaches are coming up, it’s a block stress and you’re good at

finding out the areas that the blockages happen and you help people tune into these things. I’ll develop itching. And we were going to talk about this because hormone changes, perimenopause, I’m going through that. It’s just like, what is going on? Things that I’ve had the same hairdresser for 10 years and she’s used the same color line.

for 10 years. And the last time she colored my hair, was, I’d always have a little itching around my scalp, but I had to get up in the middle of the night and take a shower. And my, it was just, oh my gosh, I was just, and the thing is, I felt like I needed to change what I was doing, but I didn’t, there’s levels to this, because I really explored it. I’ve known my hairdresser for over 10 years.

we have a special bond and I don’t want to disappoint her or not show up. And she’s explained to me several times, if everyone stops coloring their hair, I’m going to be, my business is going to be in trouble. So I know she relies on that process for her livelihood. And so I want to take care of her because I love her, but I was, and I knew that the hair color was affecting me a little, but this last time it was, I couldn’t ignore it. Like my body’s like Julie.

And then the other thing is when I go there, it’s like four hours and I’m feeling like I need to spend my time differently. Like I don’t have that four hours anymore. I used to need it when the boys were little and I just needed like a good block of time just to like get away. Like that was sort of my time, but now I get blocks of time by myself all the time because I’m an empty nester. so, you know, so was, it’s my energy level.

I can’t sit there for four hours. I’m working out now more. I’m lifting weights. I need to get my protein in. There’s all these things that are happening that this four hours sitting in the chair, my scalp just caught on fire. And it was like, this has got to change and you’ve got to just tell her that you’re a cut and style girl now, not a color. It’s not the full package anymore. But I was anxious about doing that because I knew she relied on me.

And I don’t want to, you know, I don’t like to let people down and I don’t have a lot of people in my life that I’ve known for that long that I’m that close with. Because as my life transitions, I have friendships that sort of like aren’t as fulfilling for each person. So we sort of just see each other, but we’re not that close. And so you value that that one on one time with somebody, but

I just want to explore that with you, because you said you had a thing with your hair color. And it seems like a simple thing, like it’s your hair color, but there’s so many layers when you get down to it, at least for me. And maybe I’m just crazy. But what are your thoughts on that whole transition and in your body and when it tells you things that you might not be ready to hear?

Beth Mielbrecht (26:06)
You

There is

a whole thing and I’m glad you’re listening to your body. And part of this change is finding out what we want and letting go of the things that don’t. And so needing to support someone, well, our hair is going to keep growing. So you’ll always need a haircut, but it might look different and she could learn new techniques. She could become proficient in henna or, know, like there’s…

Julie Hilsen (26:26)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Beth Mielbrecht (26:51)
She can grow as well. It’s not just totally up to you to support her. Yeah. You could say, you know, I need, I, if I want to continue this, it needs to be in a different way. Can you go and maybe she’ll seek out different training or certification or a different product line. But you’re right. I do have a story about my hair. I actually decided to write a newsletter and it’s as a blog post on my, on my website, but it’s about the coverup.

Julie Hilsen (26:51)
Hmm.

I love that. I love that.

Beth Mielbrecht (27:20)
And it was about, you know, hey, you know, I felt like I had been covering up a part of my life and I literally had, and it was about my hair color because I started going gray in my early to mid twenties. And as a 23, 24, 25 year old, 26, 27, gray hair is not that cool. It is, it is not. And especially when there’s just lots of gray. And this wasn’t one or two strands. This was

Just a lot. So I really enjoyed the whole salon process as a young person. I have always enjoyed the different colors. My natural color was a brunette with red. So in the fall I would have more red. In the spring it would take some of the red out. Like I would have blonde streaks. I never really had blonde.

Julie Hilsen (27:52)
Mm-hmm.

Beth Mielbrecht (28:12)
But I enjoyed all of it. And then I find hair to be a fun method of expression. So I was great with, you want to try a new hairstyle? I’m the one to do it. And so they would try new hairstyles on me. And it was just really a lot of fun. And so it got to the point, though, where I was in my 30s and then 40s. And I kept, instead of going to the salon every six weeks, then it was five weeks.

And then it was four weeks. And then at four weeks, she said, well, you could come back in three weeks because you need a touch up in the front. So on video, you can see that my hair is like white, white, white right here in the front. And it did not feel stunning. It felt like what is going on? Why can’t even the strongest hair color of the best brand in the world color my hair?

Julie Hilsen (28:55)
It’s just stunning though. I love the color.

Yeah.

Beth Mielbrecht (29:10)
And I finally got to the point where I needed to know what was underneath. I needed to see it. Why is this so hard to color? What is underneath? So as I told you, I’m really comfortable with having my hair cut. It just grows back. I never cry. I’m not somebody who’s afraid to get their hair cut. So I’ve had my hair short a couple of times in my life. I love it. It’s so dramatic. And

I think it looks good on me. It’s it’s fun. I kind of like it a little longer. So what I did was I had hair longer than it is now. So it was below my shoulders. And what I did was I cut it off. Well, I didn’t do it. The hairdresser cut it off above my ears and then I stopped coloring it. So it was so interesting. As it grew out, it was half white, silver, gray, and half the old hair color. I mean,

for a couple months there, it was not very attractive, but I just kept keeping it short until it was crazy. then once it started growing in, I thought, my gosh, that’s beautiful. I had no idea that’s what was underneath.

Julie Hilsen (30:04)
You’re like almost like a skunk, right? You’re like, yeah.

Beth Mielbrecht (30:20)
So it grew out and then I had short gray, white, silver hair. And then I eventually let it grow out longer, all one color.

I’m a firm believer professionally to always have an up-to-date headshot. So every, say, two years, I would have a new headshot. So as an engineer, if someone got on a meeting with me, I mean, even for company websites, things like that, like, it should look at me. If you see that picture and you see me in person, it should look the same. We don’t need the old, younger version of me. So when I updated that picture to be me with gray hair,

And I showed up on client meetings as an engineer. Can I tell you the respect, the years of wisdom that I’ve always had, but because of my baby face, nobody, it didn’t come through. So now here I am like, no, I am worth all of these years of experience. I am not the secretary. I am not the note taker. I’m not the assistant. I’m leading this.

and I owned it and it felt so good. So that’s been my journey with uncovering it and every woman goes through it differently. And I’ve had people say, well, my gray won’t look like yours or it looks messier than yours. You never know until you find out and that when the time is right, you will find the right way to do it. And but it probably will go better than expected.

Julie Hilsen (31:26)
Hmm.

Beth Mielbrecht (31:51)
That’s my story. It went better than expected. It was amazing. And now I love my hair color.

Julie Hilsen (31:58)
That’s a great lesson in surrender. I mean, I can’t think of a better metaphor for surrender, honestly. mean, it was begging to be revealed like, no, I’m here. I’m here. This is your empowerment. And, you know, the Native Americans believed in that spiritual power of your hair. And I never can discount

knowledge that comes from other cultures or insights from people who are more, or cultures that are more tied to the ebbs and flows of nature and Mother Gaia. There’s powerful messages in that. there’s a reason why we’re obsessed with our hair. I love that. It’s such a good story. I’m glad that came through for us.

You know, it gives me a little I did a shampoo and I was telling you yesterday I was like, because I’m supposed to see her in a week and I thought, if I give her a week to find someone out, you know, like if my time is going to be half there, she can find someone else to fill in and I won’t take away her time, you know, because if she books me for four hours for my full treatment, so was like, I’m going to try this shampoo. It’s more of a natural henna based.

and you sort of mix it in your hand and sort of rub it in. And I was like, I’m going to try this. If I screw it up, she can fix it and she’ll make fun of me. But I sort of liked how it turned out. So I texted her. said, hey, is it OK if we just do a cut in style? Obviously, it’s OK. But I know she’s sensitive about the whole thing. I respect her. I respect her emotions and her energy.

what she has to take care of as she’s a single mom. you know, it’s just, it’s part of me standing up for my divinity is claiming this time that I need more for myself of doing things to make me happy instead of, you know, sitting in a salon chair for four hours.

I can tell you, I mean, you guys, if you haven’t done weight training on a consistent basis, you gotta give it a shot with somebody that can really help because I noticed like the alignment of my neck since I started lifting weights, I’ve gotten like, I feel taller and I’ve actually felt like my…
