Hello everyone, this is Tonya Dawn Recla, your Super Power Expert. And I’m excited today. You know me, I’m always excited. Well actually, let me backup. I thought, at one point in time, I had the coolest job in the world when I was running around chasing spies and doing all that fun stuff as a counter intel agent. But I really have the coolest job in the world, now, being the Executive Director of Super Power Experts. But mostly being able to host a show like this and just talk with amazing people. And it’s just remarkable. And I know you all feel that, you’ve been along on this journey with us for quite a while now.
But today we’re talking about bending and shaping reality, right? “What are you talking about, Tonya? Where are you going with this?” Well, the reason we’re talking about this today is because I have the most remarkable guest, Ilana Bissonnette is here and she has developed the Ilana’s back-bending method. And when we’re talking back bending, I don’t mean like how most of us do it. Like you kind of lay on the floor and you move your body a little bit and you’re like, “Oh, I’m bending my back.” No, no, no. She’s bending her back and showing people how to do this in a way that opens you up. It’s healing. I mean we know how this stuff works. Like we’ve got to figure out the mechanics of these bodies, and what they really are, and what they’re really not.
And this is her space. And I’m always fascinated talking with the body people because that just so wasn’t my space for the longest time. And so, I love hearing about their journeys. And I know you’re going to love hearing about her journey also. She’s remarkable. We could brag about her all day long. But in addition to being one of the top 100 most influential vegans, I thought that was awesome, she’s an activist, she also has a son that’s remarkable.
That’s my son actually.
Oh, my goodness. I’m so glad that you said that. Daniel, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to take that away from you.
Yeah, those are his achievements.
Yeah, I lost Daniel too, right? So, going to want to interview him on her show, Super Power Kids. And I love this idea of really modeling that for our children. And so, that’s near and dear to my heart. So, we’re excited to talk to Ilana about that. But in addition to her back-bending method, she is this amazing, amazing woman that she’s taken life by the hand, and she’s just running with it. And so, listen in folks, you’re going to love this ride. Ilana, thank you so much for joining us.
It’s such an honor and a pleasure. This is going to be fun.
Beautiful. I am so glad that you corrected me on Daniel’s achievements. I’m excited for him. And you let him know that he’s welcome to come on my show too. But if I don’t let the interview him first, then I’ll never hear the end of it. So, he is welcome to come on my show, and talk about his activism, and everything else as well. And again, Daniel, my apologies not to take anything away from you. Ilana, thank you. This feels like it’s been a long time coming, so I’m really excited to share this space with you right now.
Me too.
Beautiful. Well let’s jump in and say what are your superpowers?
I back bend, that simple. I back bend, and I tap into just insane superpowers. And it’s something that I have discovered. I have been a fitness and a health fanatic for like two decades. So, I’ve been doing all kinds of things and yes, I’ve been back bending over the years. But like in the past year, I would say or a little less, I took it to, I would say, a more unusual level kind of past yoga.
And it has transformed me in a way that, I mean, I don’t even know how to begin and talk about it. But, basically, I started sharing some of that on social media and people just lit up, and it just went from there. And I got invited on podcasts, and speaking, and writing segments for books. And literally, I mean, my brain lit up, my whole system. The creative energy that was flowing through me was insane. I knew I tapped into something really significant that’s not talked about, that’s not touched upon. And so, I would experience all these things and then I started researching it, and I was just blown away, and I realized that that is the missing link in our society today.
I don’t want to get too far into the secrets because I want to dive into that when we come back from break. But what I find fascinating about this is immediately like, I knew, right? Like you had a chat with Justin and he’s like, “You have to talk to this woman.” I’m like, “All right, what does she do?” “Well, she does this back-bending thing.” And I’m like, “Okay.” But I just knew, like I could feel it from you. And folks, we’re not talking about stretching. Like I hear it, I feel it, I know it. And I think it’s okay that on some level it’s not totally clear, and you’re not totally clear because, as a collective, we haven’t been doing this. There’s no space in it. You’re creating that space.
And I just really want to share with the listeners what Ilana’s speaking to you is this magic that happens when you find your gap. When you all of a sudden get into this perfect mix of the right vibration, the right frequency, the right knowledge base, the right experiences, the right amount of surrender, the right willpower, like all that stuff kind of comes together. It’s this perfect storm, and that’s where you build every time. And it’s like that’s where we get these like overnight successes that take 10 years, right? Like you just kind of slip into this space. And it’s this little amazing, miraculous collision of juiciness, I mean, that’s the Holy Grail for so many of us. And so, that’s what we’re talking about today.
But before we dive too deeply, let’s just let people know where they can go to find out more about you. And then take a break, so we aren’t hindered in our discussion. So, Ilana, share with people a website, or somewhere they can go to find out more about you.
Okay so, my website thebackbender.com is coming. And, for now, I think Facebook would be the best place to be plugged in to, yeah, what I’m up to. And it’s Ilana Bissonnette, My name.
Perfect. And we can link that too. So, make sure you go to superpowerexperts.com to this episode page, and we will link her Facebook there.
For right now folks, so we are talking with Ilana Bissonnette, and you not want to miss this conversation when we come back, but we’re talking about bending and shaping realities. So, stay with us and we’ll be right back after the break.
