She specializes in inner child healing, building self-worth and awakening intuitive powers.

And if we have time, we're going to talk to her about her podcast as she also she started a year ago. And if you haven't listened to it, you have to, but we'll get into it a little bit. How are you doing, Alicia? 

Alicia Farricielli 0:55
Thank you for welcoming to the show. Excited for our conversation today. 

Rich Bennett 0:59
Oh, my pleasure. And the thing that caught my eye is the religious trauma, because I've had cult survivors on here. Now, I don't know if that's what you went through or not, but when I hear their stories, it's just mind boggling. And I don't I don't know. I just don't understand it. And that was that was it. The same with you was the caller. 

Alicia Farricielli 1:25
It is not. 

Rich Bennett 1:25
If you don't mind me asking. 

Alicia Farricielli 1:26
Oh, no, it's not defined as a cult is a certain Christian non denomination slash denomination that I call religious trauma. Anything that has been forced upon you that causes you to have emotional dimension, emotional abuse. It causes you to have self-doubt and fear as a fear based, driven any type of fear based, driven religion to me, as very I call it, I call it spiritual trauma. 

Rich Bennett 1:51
Okay. 

Alicia Farricielli 1:52
Yeah, I didn't. It was not raised like in a cult where we had to, you know, start like. Like you would see on TV or hear from stories. It's all it's kind of cultish to me in a way, because it's like their only belief. They're the only belief system that is right. So if you wanted to bring it down to a cult, it probably would be. But most they don't consider it like obviously most cult like not because they're this other. 

Rich Bennett 2:14
Okay. 

Alicia Farricielli 2:14
But yeah, it was not your what you call your typical cult, but it was definitely very fear based, driven, very indoctrination of their belief systems. And if you didn't believe that, then it was not a good thing for you. 

Rich Bennett 2:29
What do you mean? Not a good thing for you. 

Alicia Farricielli 2:31
If you were robbing a family, for instance. My dad was actually a preacher of this specific 

Rich Bennett 2:36
Oh. 

Alicia Farricielli 2:37
religion. 

Rich Bennett 2:38
Okay. 

Alicia Farricielli 2:39
Religion. And I'm not just dismantling Christianity or whatever that's good for people or any type of religious beliefs at all. So that 

Rich Bennett 2:47
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 2:47
was it was. We don't have a relationship anymore. He's kind of religious only for not doing what he wanted me to do in my life. 

Rich Bennett 2:55
Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 2:56
Yes. And it's a very fear based from the time I was I was born into this. It was you had to do certain things or you're going to hell have these are things you're going to hell. It was like you were sitting at church services being like there almost, almost a debate about if you were speeding down the road and you died, would you go to hell or not? I'm like, Why are we debating this? You kind of questions are these. And it was they were just like, if you decided to do things that were if you went to a different church, you would would be withdrawn from the church. There were quite. 

Rich Bennett 3:29
What? 

Alicia Farricielli 3:30
Church and not not fellowship with you because that was considered a sin to them. But they fellowship with people outside that. Now, now, now. My parents, like they did have friends that were not of the denomination, but if they ever left that, that it was like the end of it. So. 

Rich Bennett 3:47
Almost sounds like Scientology. 

Alicia Farricielli 3:51
Kind of, but Scientology to me, from what I've gotten, I haven't studied a lot of that because I. 

Rich Bennett 3:55
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 3:56
Those. I just leave kind of that that drama out. But from Scientology really is a lot of like having to buy your way into into the into it or having to do something. But it's almost like I was taught that I had to earn God's love. I had to earn respect. I had to learn, earn, earn love for my parents almost. But now that most of my dad, my mom has come from a very my mom and I have a great relationship now. We just I'm very unconditionally love loves me. I feel that. 

Rich Bennett 4:23
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 4:23
But my dad is a very conditional loved. When I got divorced, he disowned me because he didn't make me get divorced. I got remarried a few years ago and he's disowned me again. So that's what I'm saying. As far as that's the spiritual. 

Rich Bennett 4:36
Okay. 

Alicia Farricielli 4:36
Of it. Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 4:39
Why? 

Alicia Farricielli 4:39
Lot of healing had taken place. 

Rich Bennett 4:42
Now, Do you have any siblings that also grew up in this? 

Alicia Farricielli 4:45
I do. I have two younger brothers. They're going to have great relationships with them and. 

Rich Bennett 4:50
Okay. 

Alicia Farricielli 4:51
They, from what I gather, don't have the same faith and stop in. Yeah, they're just but they're not. They haven't been disowned. 

I love them, Mike, and I'm very happy for whatever relationship they have going forward with. 

Rich Bennett 5:09
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 5:10
Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 5:11
All right. So I got if I dig too much into that, I'm. I'm going to get pissed. 

Alicia Farricielli 5:17
It really is. 

Rich Bennett 5:18
It won't. It is because, I mean, especially when you have to earn his love. I mean. 

Alicia Farricielli 5:24
As a father. 

Rich Bennett 5:25
We're all. But even you have to earn God's love. Isn't that what you said 

Alicia Farricielli 5:28
What 

Rich Bennett 5:28
as well? 

Alicia Farricielli 5:28
is it? 

Rich Bennett 5:29
We're all God's children. 

Alicia Farricielli 5:30
Well, it wasn't told that you had to earn his love, but you had to earn your way into heaven, which heaven equaled God's love. So it was taught to me that they were teaching, saying that if you were not a certain of this certain denomination, I'm a college. They say they're not denomination, a certain belief system that God didn't really hear your prayers, right? 

Yes. That only these people are going to go to heaven. There's a very select there. It was there. Only these people are going to go to heaven and you have to be baptized into their specific faith. So if you were to go into a Baptist church or a methodist church and not those churches and you got baptized, you had to be re baptized into their faith. Because 

Rich Bennett 6:10
Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 6:10
not that it didn't really count 

and he had to be baptized in order to earn your salvation into heaven. Now, a lot of this is a lot of this is. Insanity. You don't 

Rich Bennett 6:25
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 6:25
have to think about This is what I grew up in and grew up believing until about the age of 14 or 15. And I was like, I've never really believed it, but I was always told it's all you, just that fear. I mean, I was a child. I was so timid and scared, and I would like tell the story like I got my name on the board in second grade and cried because I've got in trouble. And I was like, And this was in their same denominator, denomination, school. So that's how timid and strong I thought I was as a child. 

Rich Bennett 6:51
Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 6:52
And I was always afraid of getting. Like always. Always. I never remember feeling relaxed. Maybe when I was three or four. But as I got older, I never felt. Just felt the feeling. Are you being relaxed at all? So this tied into my entire adulthood. 

Rich Bennett 7:07
Wow. 

It's just mind boggling. I don't know. All right. I want to move on. 

Okay, so I know what a life coach is. But what is an inner child specialist? Why do I have a funny feeling that's going to tie in to what we just talked about? 

Alicia Farricielli 7:29
It is because that was my journey into into it. So as I thought, we'll talk a little bit about the inner child. Explain to people who are like, what is this term? So your inner child is the portion of you that still like a child. Imagine yourself when you were 3 to 8 years old, you could actually less and less than that. But most people don't remember up to three three year olds. They start Remember how you were as a child. You just your your child like spirit. We always thought the world was at our fingertips. We want to be superheroes. We could be a ballerina. We wanted to be all, you know, baseball, all the stuff that was we didn't have any limitations put on us. So that's the inner childhood. Your child gets wounded going through because they get told they're put in a box and told they can't do stuff by society, by parental influences, by family members through schools. There all kinds, whatever influences they have friends going on, they get told who they're supposed to be. And so they get wounded or maybe somebody and the wounds happen for something as simple as maybe a third in the third grade. Somebody called you ugly, but they really think you're ugly. They were just being me 

Rich Bennett 8:36
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 8:36
or, you know, how girls were in middle school. They just categories. For me, it was like when they would just one day they're for the next day. You're they're not your friend. And it's just like this is just typical. That stuff wounds your inner child. So you carry these things and through your adulthood, it's a lot of times repeating patterns, repeating things. If you have have a business and it's you can't seem to get it to grow to a certain point and you're doing all the things that you're supposed to be doing, but you're almost sabotaging relationships. Have the big peaks in your self sabotaging relationships. If you're continuously dating the same person is not right for you. You're having the same. If you're married, you stay in the same spousal arguments or your spouse is like always on you about things that you know that. And it's not as if you're consistently nagging in your relationship, things like that, you know, can be a lot of times are tied into inner child wounds, things that happened that are subconsciously we're not really thinking about consciously that we're doing. So that's what I do as a inner child coach is I help to bring out the patterns of people repeating things that they're bumping up against. And they need to they need to they want to get to the next level. And it could be a lot of tied to self-worth and inner child. So we start to dig down a little bit in that, but we also have a process of the healing. We're going to heal that inner child and make it your friend because it does not go away. We don't want it to go away. We want this little inner child to be joy and creativity and playful and fun. And that's we want to have that inside of us. And so the wounds and so we've learned to embrace that and make that inner child feel safe and secure and wanted. 

Rich Bennett 10:11
So it almost sounds like like a therapist. But I want to say one step even further. Is that 

Alicia Farricielli 10:19
Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 10:19
right? 

Alicia Farricielli 10:19
So I don't go down the therapies clinical route. We don't diagnose all this stuff, but we do 

Rich Bennett 10:24
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 10:24
go down that. Now I'm going to preface this. If you've had any type of major alcohol, major traumas like sexual abuse or physical abuse or extreme emotional abuse, sometimes, you know, spirituality, if it's really to the extreme and you've I I'm going to tell you, goes to a licensed therapist. That's definitely 

Rich Bennett 10:42
Right? 

Alicia Farricielli 10:42
what you need to, like go through and work through that trauma first. We're talking about wounds more 

Rich Bennett 10:48
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 10:48
that happen, little small little traumas that everyday things that go on. But we're not going to stay here. A lot of therapies. Service will stay in the past and we're trying to work through it. That's maybe what you need at the time. We're going to address that, but we're going to move forward pretty quick. 

Rich Bennett 11:02
Okay, so now which came first? The inner child specialist or the life coach? 

Alicia Farricielli 11:08
Yeah. The life coach, actually. 

Rich Bennett 11:10
Okay. 

Alicia Farricielli 11:11
I started off as a business coach, wanted to coach people how to run, start businesses. But as I was working with people, they were not even. I was like, okay, so how comfortable do you think that you're going to do this? Well, I don't really know if this is going to work. So I'm like, we had to go back and do some mindset work. I was going through that things were triggers. I did a lot of mindset, a lot of work up to this point, but there's also things going on. I was like, Well, I think we need I need to go back and start the mindset. And so I started finding that was really my passion was to help people walk through. So I work with higher level executives, people who have salary positions, and then most of mine are entrepreneurs that I do work with. But I don't just want people wanting to start a business anymore. So we start. We started with that and then I started going in and I was like, I still felt through my healing about two years ago. I felt like through my healing during like there's something that seems to be missing. There's like a missing 

Rich Bennett 12:04
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 12:05
piece here. I did all this stuff. And then it's funny how the universe works is like, okay, boom, inner child work. Like the term came and I was like, That sounds internet. Like, I've heard about that through, you know, taking psychology classes in college. 

Rich Bennett 12:17
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 12:17
And they're going through some other other stuff. And like the term is a common knowledge or common term. I was like, You really do understand it. So I started and once I started doing the work, it clicked. I was like, This is exactly little. Alisha was the one we needed to be healed. Like, she was still screaming out. She was out to a certain point. And so that's funny because I talk about like coaches, if they tell you they are doing everything that don't hire them because honestly, I was like, You need to find one that works like two or three steps ahead. A two, three. 

Rich Bennett 12:48
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 12:49
We're walking through this park with you. We are growing with you. We have the tools and the the solid knowledge and the confidence to be able to walk you through that. But we're if your life coach is not a life coach is such a overused time anyway. But if your coach is not doing it, don't work. It no matter the business coach, they are not consistently working on their selves on their business, on other stuff. They are not the right person and I've quit. Called that out. So. 

Rich Bennett 13:15
Which is good. 

Alicia Farricielli 13:16
Yes. And it's very important because, I mean, as coach, as coaches, you know, we have even like like therapists have a limit. They have they have certain ethics. These are things they have to live up to. Coaches 

Rich Bennett 13:27
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 13:27
should. But there's no, like core things that we have to make sure that we're regulating. There's certain things we're not. We don't go down, you know, certain things you're not allowed to do, but there's no regulation on it, which is a blessing for coaches. But also it's it can be really difficult to find one that actually does has does doing what they're they need to be doing to continuously be working on it. 

Rich Bennett 13:52
Is it me or does it seem like there are more life coaches out there? But a lot of them that really shouldn't be. Understand what I'm saying there? 

Alicia Farricielli 14:05
Yeah, I think there's a lot of people who go through issues in their lives 

Rich Bennett 14:09
Mm hmm. 

Alicia Farricielli 14:09
that decide they want to help other people. That's that. That's fantastic. And I'm not like, I'm glad. I think there needs to be more life coaches out there, maybe more people out there, but they need to have the heart and they need to know that they don't know it, like they need to know their limitations on it. And I need to continuously 

Rich Bennett 14:22
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 14:23
be growing continuously to grow and not just take another certification, which I've taken so many of those, but. 

Rich Bennett 14:30
Yeah, I was going to get into that. 

Alicia Farricielli 14:31
And everything I do is. At first I was like, Oh, you had this. Now everything I've taken out is very intentional to grow the process for my clients. So you have need to have that. But there are people I mean, you have your ten year old and there's no I love that they're doing it, but in a smart way that, you know, ten year old, they don't have the had some type of experience like to your I'm not going to be able to coach certain people because I don't have that experience or have that that knowledge or that I can't empathize with them on a certain level that someone else can. So it's great that there are tons of life coaches out there because there's one for everybody. However, again, you have to be you need to be qualified to do the work because you are you are working with people's emotions and they're there's a lot of confident little stuff going on. And there's so much, you know, you are trying to change your life and you have to need to be able to do that. 

Rich Bennett 15:26
Okay. Yeah. Because you're. You're young, so. 

Alicia Farricielli 15:31
144 So. 

Rich Bennett 15:33
All right. Well, that young. 

Alicia Farricielli 15:34
It's young, but I mean, I've had. 

Rich Bennett 15:37
You're younger. You're younger than me. That's what counts. Okay, So. 

Alicia Farricielli 15:41
I don't feel young. 

Rich Bennett 15:46
I mean, when you got when you were in school and I'm talking high school, not college, was this your plan? I mean, what was it that you wanted to do when you were in your life for that? 

Alicia Farricielli 15:57
It is funny. So in school I wanted to when I was 12, I wanted to be an actress. And then I got down to you know, that was simple. But you're never going to make it in Hollywood. So I was like, okay, whatever. So then I decided I wanted to be go into advertising. I wanted to be an art therapist. 

Rich Bennett 16:17
Oh. 

Alicia Farricielli 16:17
Yeah which is fascinating stuff to me or. But my big dream was to go into marketing and into work for an advertising agency in New York. So this was like back in the night. 

Rich Bennett 16:29
Really? 

Alicia Farricielli 16:29
Yes, I went to work at a high end to produce commercials. I wanted to write the commercials and produce the commercials. That's what I wanted to do. 

Rich Bennett 16:36
Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 16:36
That didn't happen. I did go to school for marketing and business, and I took some psychology classes and then ended up like recently just got my bachelor's in metaphysics. So I 

Rich Bennett 16:49
Oh. 

Alicia Farricielli 16:49
heard the place. 

Rich Bennett 16:52
Your bachelors in what? 

Alicia Farricielli 16:54
Metaphysics, which is like basically it's a bachelor's in mindfulness and spiritual meditation. 

Rich Bennett 17:03
Okay. 

Alicia Farricielli 17:04
It's a Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 17:05
All right. Those of you listening. Why are you listening? Go to Alisha. Fair, Charlie Fair Telecom a l i cia f as a frank a rr r i c i e telecom, and you'll see everything that she does. But something I really want you to look at in the about me section is her credentials. Holy cow. 

Holy cow. 

How long have you been training? Well, I guess you still are, aren't you? 

Alicia Farricielli 17:45
I'm never going to stop that sort of thing. 

Rich Bennett 17:47
Good. 

Alicia Farricielli 17:48
I'm a constant learner, like I'm a learner for life. And I made that decision that I love learning. I absolutely love it. I read books. I read I have read 50 books this year. I'm. 

Rich Bennett 18:01
I'm sorry. How many? 

Alicia Farricielli 18:01
50 books this year, and I'm probably 31 and I don't read that I like highlight stuff. So I'm telling I spend a lot of time on self-development, but it took me about three years to get the all that the courses that are the certifications that I have going through and I have more that I'm halfway through online. So 

Rich Bennett 18:23
Okay, one. 

Alicia Farricielli 18:23
I. 

Rich Bennett 18:25
Go ahead. 

Alicia Farricielli 18:25
No, go ahead. 

Rich Bennett 18:26
No one on here because I don't know if you read the book or not, although the movie came first. Certified Law of Attraction Coach. 

Alicia Farricielli 18:36
Yes. 

Rich Bennett 18:37
How does one get that? 

Alicia Farricielli 18:39
How does it get a certification? 

Rich Bennett 18:41
For Yale for it to become a law of attraction coach. 

Alicia Farricielli 18:44
It's a coaching sub something. So there's Transformation Academy is where I got majority of my my coaching and it's all online stuff and it's really great. 

Rich Bennett 18:53
Okay? 

Alicia Farricielli 18:53
Stop. They take you, walk you through what the law of attraction is and how to apply it to coaching 

Rich Bennett 18:58
Mm hmm. 

Alicia Farricielli 18:58
clients. I'm really big 

Rich Bennett 19:00
Oh. 

Alicia Farricielli 19:00
on the Law of attraction. I don't use every single portion of it, but I'm really big on the energy that we put out. It's basically putting out the energy to get received and what you want. When do you start to figure that out? The world starts to make sense as things start to flow to you. Can you figure out why you're blocking everything in your life? That's how I use it for clients, for that portion of it. But yeah, I was pretty in-depth information before. 

Rich Bennett 19:27
You read the secret, didn't you? 

Alicia Farricielli 19:28
Yes, I've seen 

Rich Bennett 19:29
Okay. 

Alicia Farricielli 19:30
it. Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 19:31
Yeah, I tell everybody to read it because it it can help you so much. I know it changed my life, but I've never saw that term. A certified Law of Attraction Coach. 

Alicia Farricielli 19:46
It's a certification. You can get any I mean, anyone can go get that. Get it. But it teaches you those things I love. Abraham Hicks is the one person I love. 

Rich Bennett 19:58
Okay. 

Alicia Farricielli 19:59
Esther Hicks and Jerry Hicks. I think Jerry's past then that extra hicks is the one who, 

I guess my brain just whereby she channels her in channels Abraham in and it's going to her, her spirit, her guide and she goes through and like she's brilliant. And so I get to see her live in person. She came to the Tampa area, I think, last year and I didn't get to see her, but it's she's fans. 

Rich Bennett 20:24
You will. 

Alicia Farricielli 20:25
Her stuff is fantastic. I mean, our video, everything is fantastic. I just love that. And that's kind of where I got introduced to the Law of Attraction and all this and kind of went down the rabbit hole with it. 

Rich Bennett 20:38
You know, the weird thing is, I don't even know how I found out about the secret. 

Now that I think back about it because. 

Alicia Farricielli 20:46
Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 20:47
Yeah, and I saw the video. Well, the video came out first. 

Alicia Farricielli 20:50
Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 20:51
And then Rhonda Byrne wrote the book and I saw the man. Now this is going, okay, now this is going to be bothering me all day because I'm going to have to try to remember how in the world I found out about that. 

Alicia Farricielli 21:02
Yeah, it's just one of those 

Rich Bennett 21:04
Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 21:04
classics. I feel like people just the word travels. 

Rich Bennett 21:08
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 21:08
Oh, there's like, Oh, it's how you make money. Oh, it's so easy to make money this way. And so people start to go and they don't realize that it takes. It's. I like the concept of it. The concept's great, but it also you have to put some effort behind it. 

Rich Bennett 21:22
Oh, absolutely. 

Alicia Farricielli 21:23
You can't like people think, Oh, I'm just going to sit here and asking for $2 million in my bank account. Am I going to do anything? Oh, it just happens. Like you have to make this you have to work the steps and show universe and God that you're really serious and you have to start receiving stuff. Then we will wonder why it's not coming in. It's like, Well, first of all, are you receiving compliments in. So why would they? Why would you get $2 million if you can't receive a compliment in. It's all about being receiving. And then for the best, 

Rich Bennett 21:52
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 21:53
good of all for yourself. Maybe it's not in your best interest for $2 million because you're going to go and kill the world or something, you know? 

Rich Bennett 22:00
I was just going to say that. Be careful what you wish for, because that $2 million may lead to the most negative party of your life. 

Alicia Farricielli 22:08
Exactly. So you have to have intention behind it and followed up 

Rich Bennett 22:12
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 22:12
with a purpose and an action. Not that we're forcing it because we're there's a difference in that. And that's where I was. So much so many years is like I was on the hamster wheel was like making stuff happen, mixed up half and makes up. 

Rich Bennett 22:23
Uh huh. 

Alicia Farricielli 22:24
Dare and ask for it and listen to it for the steps. The next step is to be like, I want to go from 1 to 1000 overnight. It's like, okay, well, what's the next step? Number two, what's step number three? Step number four, Step number five. And so that's the way that you get to what you want. And it's a process and the learning process. And that's why we're like we receive stuff is to learn. 

Rich Bennett 22:47
So with you doing your own business, I love to ask this question. Can you share a feel good story from one of your clients that you've helped? 

Alicia Farricielli 23:00
Yeah, I think. What am I? Of course, I was talking about law of attraction and manifesting it. And I have a client that she was looking for a new job and she was not happy in her current job. And so she put down, I was like, okay, let's get really, really, really clear on what you want. And so I took I mean, a, I mean, this is like probably a course of like 90 days for her, 60 to 90 days for her to get really clear on 

Rich Bennett 23:31
Mm 

Alicia Farricielli 23:31
a. 

Rich Bennett 23:31
hmm. 

Alicia Farricielli 23:32
So what you got really clear for? I was like, We're going to put this out there and I want you to go apply for every single job to show that you were serious. Like a job spins 

Rich Bennett 23:41
Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 23:41
around. I don't care if if the pay is not the same. What you want. I'm not. I'm not talking about within reason. 

Rich Bennett 23:47
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 23:47
see a job and you're like, Go, go, apply for it, because we're putting that energy out that you are looking for something which you got really clear on it, the exact job for the exact work that she was looking for, the exact people, that type of people she's going to be surrounded herself with, walked in the door and met her minimum salary. 

Rich Bennett 24:10
Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 24:11
So I'm saying this stuff works. So you getting really, really clear? I think that was probably one of the cool thing. It really honestly blew my mind because 

Rich Bennett 24:17
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 24:18
I was like, I believe in this stuff. But you know, for it to come down to that exact. Yeah, 

Rich Bennett 24:23
Especially when you see it work for somebody else that you've coached. 

Alicia Farricielli 24:27
yeah. 

Rich Bennett 24:28
Yeah, you could see it Work for yourself. 

Other people can say it worked for them, but unless you actually seen it work for them, you don't know. Yeah. Here you are coaching somebody and. Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 24:42
Yeah. And to 

Rich Bennett 24:43
Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 24:43
see this person and I you know, not to put too much details out there, I like to do that too much with my clients. 

Rich Bennett 24:49
Yeah, right. 

Alicia Farricielli 24:50
We're listening to this. But, you know, I to see the amount of growth that's happened in her over the past, I would say eight or nine months. 

Rich Bennett 24:59
Mm hmm. 

Alicia Farricielli 25:00
It's just been fantastic. She went from very almost I don't categorize it as anxiety because I don't categorize people. She went from a very low standpoint end of life to now she's like things that come up with her. She's just like, okay, I got this, okay, I got this. And she's like, making healthier habits. Physically, mentally, everything. And it's just it just makes me so happy 

Rich Bennett 25:21
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 25:21
for them. I'm like, I'm so proud of them. I tell them what to do, but I can't do the work. I mean, it's like reading a book. You can read a book like a word book, and if you don't do the workbook with the book. It's kind of like you get the knowledge, but if you don't put it practically put it to use, but you don't do it to put it to use. It's been. It's just so exciting for me. 

Rich Bennett 25:42
Oh, I bet. I 

Alicia Farricielli 25:43
Love 

Rich Bennett 25:43
mean. 

Alicia Farricielli 25:44
it because it's not me. It's about seeing these people's lives change. And just I just. I don't know. It just makes me so happy. 

Rich Bennett 25:50
It's a big reward for you. 

Alicia Farricielli 25:52
It is. 

Rich Bennett 25:53
When you can change somebody's life, it's it's to me, it's the biggest reward it's worth. It's priceless. You know, and that's what keeps you looking so young because you've helped so many people. 

Alicia Farricielli 26:07
I got baby jeans to. 

Rich Bennett 26:10
So it's explained some of these workshops, everything that you do to actually help people. 

Alicia Farricielli 26:17
So outside of one on one coaching, I'm actually putting together an online meditation center. 

Rich Bennett 26:22
What? 

Alicia Farricielli 26:23
Yes. So it's going to be all everything's online because I don't want a physical location. 

Rich Bennett 26:29
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 26:30
So. 

Rich Bennett 26:30
Smart. You don't need the overhead, 

Alicia Farricielli 26:32
I don't need the overhead. And I went to work, but I don't want to let myself just two people in the St Peter 

Rich Bennett 26:37
right? 

Alicia Farricielli 26:37
Bay area. So I'm explaining this out. And so the first part of it's going to be we're going to introduce introduce it with a 1 to 1 introduction to meditation six week course that I'm putting together right now. So once that comes out and that's going to be live in person once a week with all kinds of different tools and techniques, and then that will be evergreen content for people to purchase on. But on the website I call Conroy's meditation Centre is the name of the company. And then after that I'm going to use because I'm actually a river and I. 

Rich Bennett 27:09
Oh, come on. 

Alicia Farricielli 27:11
Yeah, with part of my thing. So 

I'm going to host as part of part of it's a spiritual meditation on on Sunday mornings probably will be like eight Eastern time or so. This will be the next step of it. That will be about 35, 40 minutes long, that will do a meditation and then kind of a spiritual awakening type of, you know, just bringing people to consciousness portion. I'm very not not not down religion, but a spiritual path. 

Rich Bennett 27:41
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 27:41
So that's going to come and then I'll have other courses. Eventually there'll be a one or two to this meditation course and a 1 to 3. I want to be able to certify meditation teachers to go out and to teach other people how to how to meditate. 

Rich Bennett 27:55
Ooh. 

Alicia Farricielli 27:55
On a slow meditation we had on a Western meditation where what you're thinking about like your most are your YouTube and your Spotify. You know, it's like the guided meditations which are fantasy, and that's what one on one is going to be. But to get to the 1 to 3, it's going to be tapping into the divine spirits, your guides, to tell you, to talk to you through meditation and to I want to teach people how to do that, because once we're intuitively guided, like your life changes, just like opens up and new possibilities come in and you know where to go with with your life. So all the questions people have, their purpose and stuff are already inside of them. I want to teach them how to get there. 

Rich Bennett 28:33
That's awesome. When are you hoping to launch this? 

Alicia Farricielli 28:35
The end by the end of October or early November. 

Rich Bennett 28:38
Okay. And that's all going to be on your website as well. 

Alicia Farricielli 28:41
Yes, there will be a link to that will be a separate entity will link to a film there. 

Rich Bennett 28:45
I love the fact that you're doing that because I. I tell people all the time, especially if they're suffering from anxiety or depression, you got to try meditation. And the first thing you hear all the time is what? 

Alicia Farricielli 29:00
I can't meditate. 

Rich Bennett 29:02
Right. Or, I don't know, have an. 

Alicia Farricielli 29:03
I don't know how. No. 

Rich Bennett 29:05
Yeah, it's it's not, it's not hard. A lot of people think it's hard. 

Alicia Farricielli 29:09
It's not. 

Rich Bennett 29:10
It's not. 

Alicia Farricielli 29:11
But it's. 

Rich Bennett 29:11
I think it's just the learning part. 

Alicia Farricielli 29:13
It is. It's a learning process that you have to train your brain because I have ADHD and that's one of the reasons why I started meditating was I came off all medications because it gave me more anxiety and I did not like the way that it made me feel. So 

Rich Bennett 29:26
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 29:26
I'm not going to take this. And so my brain just go on, do, do, do, do, do. So I had to figure out how to put my brain into focus. And so once I started doing that, 

I started to be able to teach myself to focus more, to say more in conversations with people, to to be able to stay on task more. Because I'm teaching my brain now, I'm not saying I still have, I guess technically ADHD and that I don't and I'm not telling people to go get off medication and I'm not saying that, you know, disclaimer like, but you're going to be able to come off medication because that but there's a possibility that you can. 

Rich Bennett 30:01
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 30:01
But its tray is trained me how to how to do that and to be. It's got more confidence in myself and just it's been a life changing for me. I mean it's I tell it like if I can meditate, anyone can that like you can learn to meditate. 

Rich Bennett 30:16
Thank you. Thank you for sharing that. Seriously, bitterness because a lot of people that have ADHD, they I don't know if they're afraid to try meditation or or some other holistic approach or what, but you don't know unless you try. 

Alicia Farricielli 30:33
Yeah. And it's. You don't have to give it a try. But a lot of times with ADHD is it's almost like you're not a fear, but it's like you're constantly minds going, going, going, going, going, 

Rich Bennett 30:45
Mm 

Alicia Farricielli 30:45
going. 

Rich Bennett 30:45
hmm. 

Alicia Farricielli 30:45
And so you have to take the take. Then you want to put pressure on yourself because a lot of us in our ADHD are perfectionists and we're high achievers, and that's part of our gift. But 

Rich Bennett 30:55
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 30:56
it's also part of the reasons why we don't we stay scattered all the time because we have so much pressure. Like we got to do one thing perfectly, Oh wait, we got to go do this other thing perfectly way. And then we forgot about the third thing that we were doing at the same time. And so if we're take the pressure off of us and just start with like 5 minutes, people think I'm going to sit there for 2 hours like a Buddha and. 

Rich Bennett 31:19
Huh? 

Alicia Farricielli 31:20
No, don't even worry about. Clear your mind out. Just sit there and put some relaxing music on. Pay attention to your breath for 5 minutes and do that for two weeks and then up to 10 minutes or 7 minutes. Or if you want to get really crazy, do 20 minutes. Do that. Guided meditations are great too, because they will bring you back to. Just the center of focus. And if your mind wanders off, it's okay to say so. Like silly mind. I'll get back to you later. Or just when it come back to your breath and the pressure. I mean, you're so great through it. There's no reason you have to be perfect. We're not like doing brain surgery. It's a meditation. 

Rich Bennett 32:02
Yeah, well, it's funny because when I first learned how to meditate was when I started doing yoga. And the deep yoga. And one of the things he tells you is to do two breathing exercises first until you can get to, you know, like 10 seconds, 

Alicia Farricielli 32:21
Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 32:21
breathe, then hold it, let it go. Then that taught me how to meditate. Oh, God. It just it's so sad. Well, of course it's peaceful. Meditation is supposed to be peaceful, but it makes you feel so good afterwards. And the funny thing is, when I do it, the ideas that come into my head. It. Which which is why I think I didn't get much sleep last night because I always meditate when I go to bed. I'll just lay there and listen to Tibetan bowls and meditate. And then when I go to sleep, you know, all I don't watch the news and the negative thoughts are gone. 

Alicia Farricielli 33:02
Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 33:03
But now I get these ideas. I dream of these ideas and I can't get back. It's like, okay, what? What did I do wrong? Let me get a 20 minute power nap. I'll be. 

Alicia Farricielli 33:16
That's good talking to you, Jill. 

Rich Bennett 33:18
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 33:20
Like. 

Rich Bennett 33:22
So what are some of the other courses that you're teaching? Well, basically, God, you know what? Just run down a line, tell everybody what you do because you have something for everybody, if I'm not mistaken. And God only knows what else, You're going to surprise me with what I'll be. I had no idea you were ordained. 

Alicia Farricielli 33:44
Well, that's pretty grace. Yeah. Day. And I'm still waiting for the official card to come in the mail, but I can. I'd like that, too. If you're in the Florida area, just you'll reach out to me and you're like a nine, your spiritual person. I'm not going to you know, I can't perform like Catholic weddings. I'm not. All of that. But, you know, whatever. If we're up. 

Rich Bennett 34:03
I did it one time. I did because I'm ordained myself and I did one wedding. And it was weird because I so I officiated the wedding. We also played the ceremony music during the wedding. Then we deejay the reception. 

Alicia Farricielli 34:19
Oh, wow. 

Rich Bennett 34:21
And it was in the showroom of an RV center. 

Alicia Farricielli 34:27
That's not. 

Rich Bennett 34:29
It was it was definitely different. But I after that, I was a I mean, I got I always get nervous when I ge a wedding, but my first time officiating a wedding. Well, the only time I did, I was a nervous wreck. I was like, Never again. I'm sorry. Go. Go ahead, Alisha. 

Alicia Farricielli 34:46
So yeah. So I think so going back to. I work with one on one. When I work one on one with clients, I work, we go through, we will do some inner child stuff. And if you're like, I don't do inner child stuff, probably we'll get into it a little later, but I'm not going to force it on you. 

Rich Bennett 35:01
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 35:01
So it'll be kind of more of a life coaching type of thing. I do work with, with clients with that we do a business coaching, but on business coaching, it's more good to put in your personal stuff to you. I'm not going to talk to you about your marketing plans and your business plans and all that stuff unless you really want to talk all day about that. But there's YouTube videos for that. Just not. I specialize in just putting that out there. I do work with Entrepreneur, like we'll put together some creative ideas to. A business that a lot of times is focused back on to the personal development which goes with your business. So far as like inner child courses. I do have inner child courses that are out will come out. I have a free workshop on my website to people are welcome to download that as well. 

Rich Bennett 35:40
Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 35:41
So going through with work through that I have a rich abundance which I will teach you from 21 days how to manifest abundance. I think that's on my website. And it's not only sort of back out there, I and that was big. I started first of the year. I had tons people signed up for that. They loved it. I'll probably do another one in January and put it out there in a little different format. I work with people on Manifestation basically would be tied to kind of into like a coaching consult. And I do energy work, I do breathwork and meditation. So if you wanted everything is virtual, so if you wanted a one on one 

Rich Bennett 36:15
Mm hmm. 

Alicia Farricielli 36:16
meditation session or you wanted to do energy work and so I am Reiki master, however I do Reiki, but it's also more intuitive. So I like giving out intuitive guidance. So you're going to like if you go see a typical Reiki person, they're going to add in some light, clear out some stuff. 

Rich Bennett 36:35
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 36:36
Fabulous. I'll do that too. But it goes to another level to where I call in your guides and your spirits. So we have intuitive messages that come through. I can't guarantee you will have tons of them or whatever, but I do call them in and we, I work through through them doing the energy healing. And then of course, Breathwork, if you want to do a virtual bath of Breathwork console or session, then I offer that. 

Rich Bennett 36:56
I do Reiki for animals as well. 

Alicia Farricielli 36:59
And I have done it on my dog. But she runs away from me. 

Yeah. I'm not the right animal person. I'm happy to try one charge. Any one. Was it worked out? No, no, I I've tried to do some of that, but she's we have she's like my protector. So I feel like she's like, what are you doing? 

Rich Bennett 37:27
It's the first time I had somebody on that did Reiki. She also told me she did it for animals and of course I didn't know what Reiki was at first, But it's amazing these animals that she's helped. 

Alicia Farricielli 37:43
Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 37:44
And I said, Wait a minute. I just saw something. Another. Show that you have lowered what is a certified sound healer. 

Alicia Farricielli 37:55
Yeah. So sound healers. So I started by with the samples. Are you familiar with the crystal? 

Rich Bennett 38:01
Like the Tibetan most. 

Alicia Farricielli 38:02
Type, but I use use crystals and this is not something I put it on there, but I don't really offer those services because I'm not a musician and confident in that and I haven't practiced enough. So now I do incorporate that sometimes into other sessions. Like a quick. A quick. 

Rich Bennett 38:17
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 38:18
As a as an additive. That's kind of surprising. But yeah, I went there, did the certification for the sound balls. I just have it practice. Like I feel confident bringing it to somebody to be like, What's going on here? No, the sound healing stuff is fabulous, though. It's so it's like the vibrations that you get off a certain bowls aligned. 

Rich Bennett 38:38
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 38:39
It chakras and it starts to heal and clear those. That's just one of the benefits from it. It's very therapeutic. 

Rich Bennett 38:46
All right, Alisha, what's the next certification you're getting, 

Alicia Farricielli 38:51
Well, I'm working on a masters. 

Rich Bennett 38:54
huh? 

Alicia Farricielli 38:55
A masters in metaphysical. 

Rich Bennett 38:57
Okay. That's right. You said that. Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 38:59
Metaphysical knowledge. I'm metaphysics. Sorry. I'm working towards my masters. I have to write my thesis paper for that. And then once I get that, I'll be heading towards my doctorate in that. It's all lined up to what I'm doing. A building. A building. Something big. I won't be able to do that. 

Rich Bennett 39:14
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. 

All right. First of all, you got to change that dream. You don't want to be on the stage with Oprah. 

Alicia Farricielli 39:25
Oh, I do. 

Rich Bennett 39:25
You know, you want it to where Oprah wants to be on the stage with you. 

Alicia Farricielli 39:30
Okay. We'll be a little bit. Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 39:34
Yeah, that that's that's the reason Oprah's going to be calling you. Hey, I see you're going to be talking here. I really would like to. 

Alicia Farricielli 39:40
Now 

Rich Bennett 39:41
So if you're listening, 

Alicia Farricielli 39:41
I. 

Rich Bennett 39:41
contact Alisha. 

Alicia Farricielli 39:42
Absolutely. You're already welcomed in. Already? Say yes. 

Rich Bennett 39:46
I so because I'm looking at the time. What inspired. Well, first of all, before I get to that, how come you haven't written a book yet? 

Alicia Farricielli 39:55
It's coming is supposed to be written this. 

Rich Bennett 39:56
Oh, come on. 

Alicia Farricielli 39:59
I've been too busy getting working through this master's program and stuff that once I get, I get that all that doctorate, the book will come. So next year is the start of the book. It's just making the time to do it. 

Rich Bennett 40:12
All right. I was joking about that. I had no idea that you were thinking about writing 

Alicia Farricielli 40:15
Oh 

Rich Bennett 40:15
a. 

Alicia Farricielli 40:16
yeah. It's been in the works for, you know, in my mind for two years. I don't know. 

Rich Bennett 40:19
Wow. 

Alicia Farricielli 40:20
It hasn't came to me. But when it comes, it will. Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 40:24
When does Alicia find time for herself? 

Alicia Farricielli 40:26
In the mornings. I spend an hour and a half, about an hour, usually an hour, sometimes an hour hiking the day I've spent while I go to the gym or work out for 45 minutes to an hour. Then I come back and I do my meditation, my morning work, journaling, and then I read. That's about an hour. So it's been like 2 hours in the morning for myself and start my day around 910. But I get up early. I go to bed early. 

Rich Bennett 40:52
What's early. 

Alicia Farricielli 40:54
Like by the sleep by 930, not 930, which is early for most people. 

Rich Bennett 41:00
Yeah. And same way. Okay. Why the podcast? Why did you decide to start a podcast? 

Alicia Farricielli 41:07
I started it because I felt like there was so much information. I wanted to get out to the world and I thought, This sounds like fun. Let's give it a try. And then I fell in love with it. And so I just kept doing it. And now it's one of my most important things that I prioritized, usually three things. Whenever I have time to do other stuff. But that's 

Rich Bennett 41:28
Mm hmm. 

Alicia Farricielli 41:28
number two. I besides my clients are always number one, but outside of 

Rich Bennett 41:32
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 41:32
podcasts, speaking engagements, and then doing this meditation thing. Yes. 

Rich Bennett 41:39
You show everybody. Listen, if you don't know. Check it out. It's the Intuitive Revolution podcast. But you also interview people, right? 

Alicia Farricielli 41:48
Absolutely. Yeah. Majority of my recent stuff has been interviews with other people. Now drop one a week 

Rich Bennett 41:53
Okay. 

Alicia Farricielli 41:54
anywhere from, you know, sidekicks, you know, just talk to. I have a friend of mine that came on. She went to India and had this amazing spiritual awakening journey there. I mean, I have just all kinds of cool stories. I had a lady who write affirmations for music. I just talked to her. She's hers is coming out towards the end of the year. 

Rich Bennett 42:16
Is that, Tina? 

Alicia Farricielli 42:17
No. 

Rich Bennett 42:19
Okay. All right. 

Alicia Farricielli 42:20
So, I mean, all kinds of stuff. I have a lot of holistic wellness portions of it, but that's going to be divided. And the first year I have to subdivide that out. But all this could be all about. 

Rich Bennett 42:29
Right. 

Where do you find most of your guests? On pod match. 

Alicia Farricielli 42:34
Matt. Facebook people that I run into and then I reach out to like if I hear an amazing person, I just reach out to them and see if they want to be on the have because they have something very unique. I try to keep very unique stories that are aligned to that. I've had I've got tons of life coaches on there and that's great, but it's kind of the same redundant. I transformed people. I transformed people. But something really, really solid plan, something really unique that's really captured and changed people is really what I what I get asked for on the show. 

Rich Bennett 43:08
There's a young lady I've had her on twice. Who, for the spiritual part, you might want to talk to. And that's Joy Giovanni. 

She is awesome. She's Italian, so she could talk. Just to let you know. But she is a sweetheart. But she should be. That's one thing I love about pi. Measure so many. Well, although I didn't meet her from Pi Beach, I actually got her to sign up. 

Alicia Farricielli 43:40
Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 43:41
So she could get more people on her podcast as well. See your fit as a were. We were recording this on September 25th and you said you're 53 episodes in. 

Alicia Farricielli 43:52
Roughly, I don't know. I don't keep track of any more. I just. 

Rich Bennett 43:58
So where would you like to see your podcast go? 

Alicia Farricielli 44:01
I would love to. You eventually have on some I mean, I have amazing guests on, too, but I would love to have like celebrity interviews on on it on a spiritual level and get into, you know, some big larger names that people are attracting to. 

Rich Bennett 44:15
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 44:16
I just want to see it grow. I mean, and I'm not stopping any time soon, so I want to see it grow. 

Rich Bennett 44:22
Good. 

Alicia Farricielli 44:23
I'm looking for advertisers, for sponsors, affiliates. That will be the next next step on that. And then. Yeah. Just want to get I just 

Rich Bennett 44:33
Well. 

Alicia Farricielli 44:33
want get the word information out to people so they know they have. 

Rich Bennett 44:36
What's the biggest challenge you've had so far? 

Alicia Farricielli 44:38
Podcast. 

Rich Bennett 44:39
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 44:41
Well, I would say it was time, but then I switched over to reverse editing time, then switched over to Riverside. And it's been so easy. Do the editing and do all this stuff. I love it. 

Rich Bennett 44:52
So you edit through Riverside. Oh, 

Alicia Farricielli 44:55
Did you ever think Riverside? And so the biggest challenge probably is the marketing portion of it, which will come 

Rich Bennett 45:01
right.

in with I have a higher of the year might help with. That's probably the biggest challenge is the market the time to do the marketing stuff with. 

Rich Bennett 45:10
I found the best place to market the podcast. It's not on social media. 

Create, create and ads run in running them on other podcast. Because that's that's where you think about it, people. You want listeners. Where listeners, they're listening to the other podcast. I found that's the best way to do it. Before I get to my last question, is there anything you would like to add? 

Alicia Farricielli 45:39
I just want people to start looking at their lives and to really start evaluating it and to find out and to know that you don't. If you're not happy and are pressuring something you don't have to continue those patterns, continue those that there is opportunity for you to get better. To heal. To you. To find a different type, different life and different things in your life. You don't have to live in the negativity that I feel like the world is living in right now. That is the choice. And so there's, you know, if it's not me, there's so many other people out there that are willing and ready to help you and start working on that inner child and then do the work. It's hard. It's hard. It's hard. I promise. I know it's hard, but do the work promise is worth it. 

Rich Bennett 46:20
Definitely. 

Alicia Farricielli 46:21
Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 46:21
So my last question, I usually I'm changing my. My last question up. Is there anything that. 

Course only if you want to share this. Is there anything that because you've been surprising me this whole. Ready. Is there anything that people don't know about you that you would like to share? I mean, hell, you already surprised me as the different credentials. 

Alicia Farricielli 46:54
Anything I wanna know about me? 

I don't know. I'm just a. I'm just a what? I love nature. I love getting out, love, grounding myself. I'm part I guess you would call half your traditional, like, hippie ish person and then not corporate, but just a put together person on the other side. So it's like a half Audrey Hepburn and half, I don't know. Janis Joplin. That's 

Rich Bennett 47:21
Oh. 

Alicia Farricielli 47:21
my personality. 

Rich Bennett 47:23
Oh. 

Alicia Farricielli 47:24
So it. 

Rich Bennett 47:24
Love that. I love that. What I see. I'm going to ask you a harder question than. I like that, though, especially when you said Janis Joplin. Oh, man, I am showing my age. 

Art therapy. 

Alicia Farricielli 47:41
Yes. 

Rich Bennett 47:42
You mentioned that earlier. Have you ever thought about going back and doing that? Exactly. What is art therapy? And the reason I ask this is because I keep looking at that owl behind you. And I guess that's an owl. 

Alicia Farricielli 47:56
Yes. 

Rich Bennett 47:57
Which is awesome. Did you paint that? 

Alicia Farricielli 47:59
I did not get so many compliments on that. I purchased this for a creative arts and holistic wellness studio that my husband I opened a couple of years ago, but we've closed since, and so I put it in a home office because it's out. I got this owl for $3 a through a store. 

Rich Bennett 48:13
Get out of here. 

Alicia Farricielli 48:14
I'm not kidding. And I saw this thing and I was like, I immediately jumped up and put that in my car. I'm just looking for cool. And that came up. I was like, Whoa, this is like, amazing. So. 

Rich Bennett 48:23
I love it. 

Alicia Farricielli 48:23
I have to add, it just gives me such good feelings and vibes on it. Overlooking me to your question. Art therapy is where you take creative portions of like a set. You basically use art to express your feelings. So a lot of times art therapists are used in mental institutions where you have people who are mentally unstable, you know, have mental disabilities like high severe ones to be able to express themselves out, to get out their anger or to get out anything like their mind, especially if they won't speak. 

Rich Bennett 48:59
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 48:59
And a lot of times they've gone through traumas and they won't speak about it. Sometimes you can put out the colors, get them to express it through art artists, and it can be used for just therapy, different therapies. I'm not going to pursue that anymore because my pet found my passion on this. I'm not saying maybe in the next 20 years I would. That required me going all the way back to school, going back to college. I'm like, I'm done to school after this. I'm like, I'm done. So I don't and I don't want to go down the therapist route because 

Rich Bennett 49:26
Right. 

Alicia Farricielli 49:26
because there's so many different regulations. And I let there I have therapists. I love therapists. They're amazing. I just don't want to do that exact work. I'm going to do something a little different. And to be able to expand on a more spiritual level as a more clinical. So I can combine some art into coaching, art coaching, maybe that's the thing. I actually have a friend that I'm just art soul coach for coaching and it's amazing the things that you can you can get from just express picking up a paintbrush and just throwing some paint down how therapeutic could be and how expressive you can be and then Yeah. 

Rich Bennett 49:59
Yeah, well, you think about it. Even the. I mean, my daughter got me an adult coloring book. I had no idea that that's a thing. 

Alicia Farricielli 50:08
Yes. I walked down the street another day to our neighbour to help them move some furniture. She has this whole desk that has all these coloring books and stuff, and I'm like, This is fabulous. I love this. Like, 

Rich Bennett 50:17
Yeah. 

Alicia Farricielli 50:18
she's 80 something years old and she has that's what she sits and does for fun. Like, this is fantastic. 

Rich Bennett 50:24
My daughter yelled at me because I haven't finished one page in it yet. 

Alicia Farricielli 50:27
You better get on. 

Rich Bennett 50:28
Well, I told her she got me a kiss coloring book. I said, You got to understand. It's one of my favorite bands. And the colors have to be exact. Okay. So I had to buy the big thing of coloring pencils all.
