Hello, it's Howard Brown. It's the Shining Brightly

Podcast show. I have an amazing show. Where all the way from

Germany, Frankfurt, Germany, I have Renee Isermann here. I'm so

glad to have you. How are you today?

I'm so excited. Thank you to have me on the

show. The sun

is shining not in Germany, it's shining a little

in Michigan here. So it's okay. But I need to tell you that,

Renee, I are so aligned and so connected, because she has

lifted herself up, and she lifts up others. And we're going to

tell you how she does that. And she's absolutely got an

incredible story that I want to share with you. But let me tell

you a little bit about her. So Renee estimate is a former

professional European handball player. Now in the US, we don't

know Handball is very much, but because of the Olympics, we're

starting to know about handball a little bit better. So she's an

elite athlete. She's also the founder, and the International

Best Selling Author of yoga for face yoga than ever for her

face. And she's helped over 10,000 clients learn the ways to

naturally rebalance their face, reveal more natural beauty. And

without Botox without surgery, all holistic, because this is

how you connect to yourself, the mind body and soul. It's such a

beautiful mission. I love it. So before we dig in, and get deep

into your story, okay, share something you know, a little bit

that people may not know about you that you want to share.

Yeah, sure, everybody's knowing I'm the

athlete. But as a little girl, my biggest dream was to be a

singer and dancer, and really just like to express myself. And

so that was my biggest hidden secret.

You want to be a singer and a dancer. And then

you became an elite handball player. And now you just, you're

you're holistically heal and help people feel and look

better, every day is beautiful. Share a little bit about your

background, growing up a little bit what you want to share and,

and what you did before you became the holistic face to face

with queen.

Um, so I mean, just like 22 years of

professional athlete, that was the only thought I had in the

morning. And until I was going to sleep, so everything was

about, like, how I can perform better how I can just like,

support my team, how I just like so everything was focused on

that. So and my whole life was just like, very scattered.

When did you start? When did you start the

handball career as a little girl as well?

I was nine years old. Right?

And then you got into the elite training program.

And that's a discipline that's that's dominates your life,

right to be come and eat like, what you eat. What you how you

working out and, and preparing Correct?

Yes. So and so my target was I was always just

like, because I was so talented. I was always just like how to

perform with the older kids. So I had I was going starting

school was five, and even being an athlete, when you have like

the the age caps, I had also to perform just like two years

older, so match them. So I was just like, our pacing the whole

time. It was like, okay, I can do that. I can do that. So that

was free hustling. And that from an early age.

On it tell you so my daughter Emily wasn't an

elite soccer goalie football for the Europeans, right. And she

had to train with the team, five days a week, but then she had

three extra trainings just for the goalie. So and then we had

games all weekend and a goalie played in you know, they could

sub a goalie and so I lived that for 10 years from age eight to

age 18 with my daughter, and I played basketball my whole life.

So I understand the life of an athlete, not not as you as an

elite athlete, but it's a discipline and you have to

sacrifice and you give up things. So sleepovers with

friends with you know, your own friends, you know, going out to

the movies, sometimes, you know, you weren't able to do that. So

it's a big sacrifice. So that was a dominant part of your

life. And then you decided your retirement right from handball.

That was not, that was not my will. So my

buddy was telling me I'm done. I am I was when I was 31. I was so

in pain, and it was just like it was over. I was thinking and I

was knowing it before it happened because that was just

like an accident because I was having so much problems was my

feeds. And and I was just like I was knowing so I was getting

this information from my soul. And this is when I'm talking

even to people or my clients. So when things happen in life, do

you remember there was a time before? Are you aware? And I was

aware I was getting that. And I was just like, my ego was so

big. And I was just like, No, I'm just like I can I can do

that. I'm tough enough. No, I'm just like, here, this is my high

point of the of the season. And even just like the age of 31,

it's just like, perfect, you have the knowledge, you have the

routine. And I was just like, in the best shape, I was thinking

best shape ever. So I was just like, in the air and just like,

having this great feeling. And so and then it was just like,

done, and and then my life was starting pretty new. And so

because what we have to understand is just like our body

is our best friend. And if we are not taking care, it will

just like bring you to your knees just like when I had to

sit and to breathe. And I was not to I was not able to do

anything because I was so in pain. Because I didn't pay

attention before I did everything to perform at the

weekend. So I did everything for the team. So I was just like,

because I was so committed, I was so disciplined. And that was

a high price I paid.

So you had to rebuild. You had to pivot, you

had to find something new. So would you do

this is when and I'm so thankful for my spot them

because they were just like saying, Okay, we are putting you

into just like getting in yoga and pilates and getting in the

instruction way. So yoga and pilates was really helping

rebuilding my body system. And really learning just like

different movements. And now it's the knowledge now oh my

goodness, I was training so completely wrong and different

parts. And though yoga and pilates was becoming a part but

even those like learning, who are you without the sports who

are your was being in the newspapers, Mondays, and Sundays

are just like when in your whole life, you are the athlete? Who

are you when when someone is taking everything away from you.

And this is also what happens in Korea ending or if the kids are

out of the house. So who are you when you are losing your

identity in a particularly I've heard so. And I

don't know I totally resonated with because I

have to transition twice in my life from being you know, a

cancer patient back to Howard Brown, you know who went through

it, but I'm not designated in treatment. Now. I'm a survivor,

right. And so I've had to rebuild myself and I call this

putting Humpty Dumpty, the old nursery rhyme back together

again. So people have to do that you have to get back up again

and put yourself back together again. And that's what you had

to do. And then you had some great training, right? Some

amazing training.

I had to relearn everything, everything I was

knowing I had to relearn from head to toe, it was like really

learning new skills, learn how to move how to get out of bed.

And and this is where I can tell you in seven years, you can

rebuild your whole body. You have every single second you

sell productions. And it's about learning the roots of skills.

What does your body need? On the physical way? On the mind part.

So what are the programs you're thinking about yourself, but

also if you're not connected to your soul, you will always get

pushed from the universe to to really become your best version

and express your uniqueness. So that's and this is what I

learned. Today, I say the hard way, but at the end, I'm

thankful for for the experience. And I can and this is where I

want to repoint hope and a different perspective. No matter

what happened in your life. There's always the Golden Nugget

in and we have to find that. And

this you have to find it and you help people do

that. And so when we first met one of the things that resonated

with me when you presented and we met on a networking show,

shout out to Blanca laws of light. And I remember that what

you said is that people have to learn to find their smile. And

that resonated with me and take me through how you know you

developed yoga for face and why your smile matters.

But there are two important questions. So the

one part of my story and I had to leave of my life twice. I

mean, not quite so just but this is where we are very wealthy,

very close to you. So the first part was the athlete where one

of my biggest dream was just like pupping. That was done. So

being athlete was like dreaming them all life, the careers it's

done. And I was just like, we burning everything, my body,

everything was fine. I was having Korea, I was working for

a big company. And then I was thinking, Okay, now it's time I

had everything I want to build family I wanted to like, so I

was thinking having the dream, man. So we were building a

house, wedding was planned, and I was prepared for getting being

a mom. And so that was the final part where my life was giving me

in a different direction, because the wedding never

happened. And I lost the kids very early in the pregnancy. And

that was tough. And this is where, for me today, it's not a

drama, because my kids and even all the experience was helping

to bring yoga for face in the world. And I know that I have a

different perspective of a lot of others have a lot of things

because without this experience, I would not connect so deep to

who I am. And also to become a deeper understanding that we are

more than we can touch. And that our life always lasts and

supports us, even if we are not understanding this in the first

place. So that is the background because I was also trying so

hard. I was also becoming a mother just like being a perfect

wife, just like I was I was trying so hard and being

disciplined. And it's not about that. It's really it's not about

that. And I was my face after all this and pain and trauma

that will showing up in my face. So and this is how I was coming

up with yoga for faith because my face was totally dried. And I

was just like sitting there. And it's I can't believe that this

was happening again that you are losing a dream. And then you

have to be very careful. What is your dream? Or where does this

dream come from. And when we open up, I said my dream of

being a singer dancer. My dream was not being a handball player

and the family part, I have no idea. I mean, I'm turning 50

Now, maybe whatever. So it's just like a number. But I'm here

losing, losing, you have to really to find yourself. And I

had to rebuild my whole body. And then I saw my face. And I

had this morning when I was waking up and I was looking in

the mirror and I was just like shocked. I was 42 I was shocked

that I can't believe that. So because the face my face was so

destroyed. And I was just like, Okay, if I don't like what I see

in the mirror, and I was restarting my life and I was

just like thinking how is this can be just like being unhappy

and for me, so and I really had to deep dive and to become a

deeper understanding. And I was thinking Botox and surgery is

this really what it needs to stay young and beautiful and

shiny and radiant sound that was never getting in my brain

because I was rebuilding I was knowing how to rebuild my body

becoming painfree becoming a new silhouette, just like even just

like designing your body and in your way because a handle

player. It's not the female version. So it's not the Lean

method. It's just like, it's all about just like performing and

muscles. So and I was just like, what else? And then I figured

out okay, there are 43 methods on your face. You can also train

if you can reboot your body, you can also reboot your face and

just like what's showing up your faces your business card, your

business. After your life is showing up. Your life story is

showing up. It's showing up in your face to you love yourself.

Where are you betraying yourself? Where do you try to

fit in a box that is not yours? Are you going for your dreams?

What about your eyes? Are they sparkling? So there are so many

things are you in alignment with who you really are and you are

uniquely made. And you're here for a purpose and you have to

take this very serious. And I'm here this is where we covered

yoga for face because yoga means unfold your uniqueness. It's not

making crazy exercises. It just like unfold your uniqueness and

I was connecting to this philosophy because I was

thinking okay 30 years of knowledge from head to toe

because everything is showing up in your face, if you have pain

in your knees and your lower back, you are just like

everything is once you can separate things. And this is why

I am so not into the surgery and Botox. Because it's it's not

helping you to connect to you to who you really are. So, for this

remodels on your face, you can train them. But if you still

look in the mirror, and you try to find the spots where you are

not perfect, or what you don't like, just like yourself talk is

really what matters. This just showing up your emotions, I

will tell you that. When people look in the

mirror every day, men take a shave women put on makeup, and

many people don't like what they see and what they feel. So I

agree with that. And also, thank you for being so vulnerable and

sharing some of your pain. Because when you get knocked

down, and how you get back up again, did you want to show some

some share the screen and show a few pictures? For me.

Um, yes, of course. So I can share one of my

my pictures. So here, this is my picture.

For those those that are listening only. We're

looking at pictures from about, what, seven years ago.

Yeah, that's seven years ago on the left

side. And what you can see is, first of all the 11 lines, the

11 lines, so maybe you can face your your mirror, there are 11

lines, I have also an accident, so I have a scarf in between. So

this is very just like very prominent and very just like it,

it's really showing up in the middle of the eyebrows. So my

whole skin is very just like not regular, I have deep, narrow

labia thought, even like the lip area is very, not from the

symmetry, it's different. You can see even and this is where

I'm always talking about your smile is important and your

biceps and your face. And we will make maybe a little

exercise we can try. So this is the most important muscles on

your face. And when you don't need the cheek implants, you

just need to train the muscles and then everything is just like

lifting up. So even just like the jawline and the chin area,

even like the nose, you can design your nose because this is

a very soft area, your daily habits can change your nose, so

we can talk about that. So you don't you don't need surgery,

when you try to

live, I have to tell you this is I mean

remarkable because you're using yourself as an example here. But

you look under duress, you look strained, your eyes look heavy.

And you're looking at on screen now and you know you're a

completely refreshed and vibrant look, and you've done it for

yourself. Take this, the sharing down for me if you will, and

we'll come back together. Thank you for sharing that. It's

absolutely incredible. I know you've well written a book about

it, people on your website can see the remarkable change that

people go through. And you make them feel better. And you've you

have 1000s 10,000 clients all over the world that actually go

through your program and all that tell me a little bit about

your program.

So what I just covered is in 30 days we can

really transform your face and also your life. And because the

fraud is it just like learning what your face is expressing.

And the most people have no idea what they express what's your

face specific when you you're talking without words. I always

say your smile will open closed doors. But are you aware about

your smile. So what I'm doing in this 30 Day Program is really

helping you to release your daily stress because on a daily

basis, we have situations where we get challenged even from your

kids from our partners from maybe looking in the mirror in

the morning. So what I'm teaching is how to get ready in

15 minutes in the morning to get out of your house with your best

smile because if you are smiling when you leave the house your

life will changing because the universe and all the people

around you can inspire so if you are open about things are coming

back so this is why I'm focusing on the smile so so much in the

morning. And what we're doing in the study day is really just

like we are learning about our face and When stress is coming,

where it's picking and how to release it, and what I mean by

this is just like I'm sharing schools, what you can do between

your meetings before you get home, what you can do on the

toilet. So and this is on a daily basis, the step by step

program is transforming in an easy and playful way. Because

otherwise it's not working, it's not working. For me, it has to

be easy and playful, and it has to fit in your daily life. So

and we are driving a car, we're going on a toilet, so and 15

minutes in the morning and the evening you should be value

yourself for taking time to love and care. And be kind to

yourself. So and this is what was making the biggest

transition. And this is just like a startup, if you just like

do this, your whole life, your face is changing every day. And

you inspire. So you will get the feedback from the people, even

your kids, maybe the communication is getting better,

because you're not so stressed. Because this is showing up. If

you have a six pack, if you have 11 lines, imagine this is your

third eye, if you're looking the whole way, just like was this 11

line. Oh, you want to see the beauty in life. If you stressed

with a six pack, the whole body is just like, it's

it's amazing. So you change, you change your

face, you change your life, and and you bring your best smile.

So this, we're going to put on our sunglasses and you have

beautiful cool blue sunglasses just for the show. And we're

going to do the shining brightly spotlight on you, Renee
