what a way to start the show. Oh my god this is incredible. All

right well obviously I need to now know why why is walking on

sunshine your forever for your forever song.

Sanet Van Breda: Wow. So I have Mrs. stallion my point of no

return was on April the sixth 2019 My children we we stay in

South Africa and my children moved to New Zealand. So for us

it was very hard because my grandson was my everything. And

I have through due to security stuff that happened to my

daughter a year in South Africa. She lost her unborn baby as well

due to a violent attack side I decided to leave South Africa

and go to New Zealand. So we there in New Zealand and we are

on this this hike. How it it was three miles five kilometres from

the carpark. I struggle I could not get to the cab the family

was already in the cave. And I struggle I it was very

difficult. I had a lot of weight to carry. Oh yeah. I didn't have

what it was an overcast day it was was the it was it was

raining but it stopped raining. And at this stage I thought I

was gonna get the heart attack. I sit at a Senate. What if my

beautiful grandson asked me and in South Africa. My home

language is Africans. So granny means Omi it's a beautiful name.

Omi. But if my grandson Xander asked me oh me. Why are you not

in the picture in the cave? Then I would have told my grandson

here Omi is too fat. She could not get to the to the cave. But

that day I was overweight. My whole life even as a child, but

that I have it. My heart mouth was too full. And I just look

over the ocean. It was the Sea was rough. There was no sunshine

and as you say to God, I actually screamed I said I

cannot do this anymore. I'm 54 years old. I cannot do this. I

cannot do this. Please help me God help me. I will do anything.

I will do everything please help me I was on diets for many

years. I've done this I've tried. And that day my beautiful

house with the sun came out. And I still remember if it was just

the other day, it eat my face and eat my heart. And I knew

that I am safe. And yes, my beautiful of it is my picture.

They I am this my beautiful grandson Xander. I got to the

cave. I got to the cave. And when we had to walk back, I was

not behind the gate. I was walking. God have given me so

much power. I laughed at my daughter, my daughter, her name

is AC she said Ma. Do you know it's five kilometres back to the

car park? And I said yes. I am ready. And I walked with them.

My beautiful house that afternoon in the mirror. And I

love mirror. And you did an amazing show for the diamond

booties about mirror talk. I looked myself in the eye and I

said to myself, I said you want to lose the white. Why? I said I

wanted us to write for my beautiful Xander us four years

old. And I said yes my beautiful Sunday but I didn't say

beautiful at that size. I said yes in it. You want the least

the rightful Xander. Why and I was like still dancing. I said,

I want to run on the beach, I want to swing on a swing because

I could not fit in a swing. There's a lot of things I could

not do because of my obesity.

And then I was like still happy but then I went a little bit

closer with and I looked myself in the eye and I said to me, you

want to lose the right for Xander you want to play with him

on the beach and be on the swing. Why? But that day, I knew

I want to live

I don't want to die. If I don't make a plan. I am gonna go die.

Because my my lungs, my heart, everything my knees. Everything

has to carry this. This weight. And that day I made a decision

to walk on God's sunshine. Walking on Sunshine is my

forever song. I didn't tell the family because I knew they're

gonna say oh boy, you always went on a diet. Oh, you always

thought that a Monday and then the next Monday you start again.

So I didn't say anything to refer him. But that day in front

of the mirror, I decided I am going to eat less doesn't matter

what we eat less and move more. And that's everyone if they

asked me after losing 165 pounds. Yes, my before and after

picture. After losing 75 kilogrammes or 165 pounds. If

people asked me sinet How did you lose the weight? It was the

most difficult thing ever, ever to do. But I knew my why I want

to live I always my my my golden nugget is if you know your why,

if your why is big enough, you will do anything, you will do

everything. And I always tell people if you want to lose

weight.

Go for the reason go and look for your why. And then before

you start buying food and going on diets and going, start to eat

less and start to eat, exercise more, move more. And the next

thing is go on in your mind and see how you are talking to

yourself. Without going on a diet don't do diets now. You can

go on the eating plan lighter, but now it lays whatever you eat

less move more. Then go and write down for a few. I did it

for a month. What is it what I'm telling me? What is the word I'm

telling me? Is it mostly negative or mostly positive? How

it I was shocked. I was walking around with posted notes

And every time I spoke badly about myself to myself, I added

a T account, positive and negative. I had 79, negative

for, for my period I was looking for, and only 23 Positive. And I

knew that had to change. So I started to work on the mental

side first. And then when I came back to South Africa, I went to

the doctor, he sent me to the internist. And then I found out

my, my thyroid is not working. So I and I had also a few other

things that I take out, I took out my gallbladder, they work on

my hernia as an all that. But, but I started with something

easy, something simple, because if you're an overweight person,

just thinking that you are going to go on a diet wants you to eat

more. And sometimes you have to have this now cannot eat or want

to do the diet. But if you don't concentrate on the eating, and

you concentrate on this eating a little bit less, moving more and

start working. What are you telling yourself, because if you

keep on telling yourself, you are a fat person, or you keep on

telling yourself, you're not good enough, you will never lose

the right you have to start going inside yourself and start

to love yourself. So my beautiful Howard on the sixth of

April 2019, I have

changed my life. Or if

you have all I just wanted to take a quick

breath here because your opening was just fascinating. Because I

love I love your golden nugget if I want to repeat this because

it's worth repeating. If your why is big enough, you can do

anything you can do, you could do everything. And so I you, you

looked within yourself and you told this story that you you had

tried all the diets you had tried before. But this time you

were serious. And you took the small simple steps first, and

you looked at your health and you had your grandson to be able

to walk those kilometres get in that picture. For those that

didn't see the picture. I'll show them on on socials before

and after. It's a truly one inspiring and incredible

inspiration that you took charge of your life. And I didn't know

you then I just I know the beautiful smelt and impressive

diamond beauty yourself. There's SONET. But I saw this picture

and I was like, wow, that's not healthy. That wasn't healthy. So

it's an incredible story. And it takes time. It doesn't happen in

two days. And it takes dedication. And it takes

tremendous commitment, tremendous resiliency, to do

that. And I just want to tell you that just you know, I've

gotten to know you now, your inner beauty shows outward. It's

just beautiful. It really you have the butterfly because you

transformed into a beautiful butterfly behind you for those

that are watching on the video and can't see it. But so take me

through now because I love walking on sunshine is one of my

favourite songs too, because I'm all about sunshine as well was

shining brightly. But now that you've now made this, you have

big plans to inspire the entire world, you're not thinking

small, you're going big or going home, share me what's going on

with you because I've just entered your world. And I am

just like blown away. So what? How are you going to inspire the

entire world?

Sanet Van Breda: Well, thank you my beautiful habit. And I think

when I talk about mindset, I really had to change my mindset

to go on to this journey. And I tell you sometimes it was

difficult when you feel like eating in the quiet nears Nobu.

Nobody will know but you know, I could never do that again. I

would stand in front of the mirror our play my forever some

and I will always go please help me not to go for this avenue

attitude and attitude. So with that in mind, knowing that I

could overcome a lot of obstacles, a lot of things made

it easy and easy to do. And I could do it now and change my

life. So I've got this amazing dreams, a beautiful dreams. So I

have started an amazing group called Diamond beauties for over

two and a half years ago. It's a private group. We are almost 700

ladies on the group. I love to call myself a voice of 1000 and

the other day somebody said to me but Sydney you don't it for

live zoom sessions to elevate Ladies and gentleman, I normally

take two ladies of the group and a gentleman to come and tell

this story to inspire the world. And you now started I was I

wanted to have my own TV show, I put it in my wish list last

year, February, and October last year, the beautiful president of

the network, ie 360. TV said to Mr. Neat, I love seeing you, I

love to give you 12 episodes on E 360. TV. So yes, I have drawn

sported from a zoom, exactly the same concept, power hour show

went into the Power Hour TV show, and I just told you, I

want to be set Africa, Oprah, in California, I want to have a

proper show, we will be dancing, and we will be standing sitting.

And we will do a lot of things to inspire the world. My vision

is to be Earth's most heart centred brand, to provide the

experience to fill the world with love, joy and happiness.

And you being part of my world, you are helping me to have give

people that experience of your light of your beautiful soul.

And I can take whatever they can from you. By the thing is how it

everybody can listen to a motivational, inspirational

talk. But if you don't take something out of that, and make

it part of your life and take action, you will not go anyway

slowly. So my self love ignites me, I've got my motto is show

up, show up for yourself. And then for others, the next part

of my motto is step up,

do the action take action, if you don't take the action.

Affirmations is beautiful. I am a magnificent public speaker.

But if you don't get and be on stage, you will say that

forever, and you don't experience that you have to take

the action. And then when you're ready, and your cup is full, my

last motto is so up, give your heart your talents, your wisdom,

your love. Importantly, the most important vibration of the world

is love give you love to the world. So I know that you will

love show up, step up. And so

I love it. Oh my god. It's incredible. And also

the magazine. Just share a little bit. This you have a

worldwide magazine global diamond moments magazine as

well, right?

Sanet Van Breda: Yes, I was telling you where this came

from. So my book project didn't go well. And I was very sad

sitting next to a big river year in South Africa. My husband is

an Archer and he went and shoot and I said to him, they did

competition. And I said to him, I don't want to work with you

today. I want to go and sit next to the river. Because I am very

sad about my book. I wanted to do a book for two years. And I

was sitting next to the ribbon. And yes, I have not sold this to

a lot of people. But when I was sitting there, I was crying and

I said to God, I don't know why this book thing happened. And

you and God knows how much I wanted this book to go out. And

then all of a sudden I saw I said to myself but maybe Senate

you must become the diamond beauties publisher. Because

there is a quite a few ladies in the group that have lost the

poetry that have lost the books privileges through other

publishers at this time ticket and didn't publish the books.

Yeah. So first thing I saw Yeah, in my mind, I saw an angel ring

and a heart and then I got the name love and grace publishes

but then I saw with my own my eyes yeah, like this. Three

steps to the front and one inside the water. Electric Eel

came out of duty about this spot. was I was trying to grab

my phone but the chief fall over and I was sitting with my back

again so I could not feel the race my phone over to take a

photo of the eel but I see the use so it was about two minutes.

It was still it was still there, it didn't move. And I asked God

is the EU for me and the EU will just turn is it a little bit?

And I said, Okay, thank you, God. I said, I wrote down love

and grace publishing, and I said to God, but I would love it. If

I am in a compilation of a book, I would love to be on a show.

And then the next part was incredible. The name soul of a

diamond appeared here in front of me. And I was watching the

earrings. Well, you wait, and he looked a little bit more to me.

And I said, Okay, if I have a soul of a diamond TV show, I

must have a magazine. Because now I have the person in front

on the television, I have then a printed version in a magazine.

So what will be the new magazines name, and I say

diamond? Moments magazine, because every way, if you

experience love, or just a compensation relationship with

somebody, there is moments and it's diamond moments. And then

the eel looked at me, but not at me. It's to move. And I thought,

you know that chicken soup of your soul? What about a book

compilation of beautiful stories of the world of all the ladies

in my dorm and Buddhists, and we called it solver diamond, and

the you move again, but he didn't look at me. I say to God,

what else? I'm sure that that you need to look at me. I don't

know what else to do. So my beautiful how would you know I

kiss Mwah? Every time I speak to you as a Mwah. That's mouth

mouth productions and mah stands for moments with authentic

hearts. And I say to God, what a bad moments. Mwah production to

do a documentary on all the ladies that in that first book,

and the owl, the eel Look at me. And then he went underneath to

decide this took about less than two minutes. I had all concepts

say when you say dream and dream big, two minutes. I've got well

planned out. I know the names. I know exactly how my my logo. So

the Logos is already done. The I got sold over diamond nobody

I've taken a.com I have it. Yes.

And then when I read I speak to the e 360. TV, he was blown away

by the idea. Because if the lady comes to the show, and she

doesn't have a small amount of pie, she can go to any altar

charm. We will have a meeting with the director of the home.

And we she can say she can work her love hours for 15 hours to

be bored of the TV show and a magazine or the volunteer hours

will qualify you for that. Oh, that's yay. Yes. And then if he

or she wants a chapter in the book, I don't know why I wanted

to have 40 hours I think is because Jesus were 40 hours in

the days it i chicken then 40 hours go and do love work at the

old age home. And then the director can say to me, Mary has

data for two hours an hour say congratulations, Mary, you are

part of the chapter of the book. So the President were blown away

by this concept. And he said to me, Sidney chicken have to

shower in October I said, Okay, I have put it in for January and

the magazine for January. So now everything was pushed to the

front. So I from April, I have started with my sort of a

diamond TV show. I have a my fourth shot. Fourth issue of the

diamond moment magazine. And I've got a beautiful editor in

Cape Town we when they this I went and visited this week, we

went onto a proper magazine profile we doing to do the photo

shoot. So how it totally blown away by all the blessings coming

my way. And how God I've just seen the right people, my wife

So Natalie is going to help us publish the first book, The

First A compilation sort of a diamond so I am grateful I

cannot say everyday how thankful is everything in my life. The

other day I said to somebody, I am privileged to be me. And she

was very offended. And I say to her, I want to say to you if if

I didn't struggle if I didn't go through everything in my life,

it would not have brought me to where I am Am I and if I didn't

have this amazing big dreams, and I'm taking action, I didn't

leave the TV show and tie up gravity. I went and have a

meeting with the President and we never heard it. He was like,

oh, send it. That's amazing. So I took the action.

you actually you did it. And for those who missed

it, MWAH moments with authentic hearts? Why it's beautiful. This

is the time of the show. I'm going to ask if you want to put

on your sunglasses. I'm putting mine on. For those that are

listening. I have my shining brightly shades on because it is

shining brightly. We are walking on sunshine as well. I would

like people to how's the best way to get a hold of you. Then

share a little more inspiration with us and then kick the show

off. Back to Me for the close.

Sanet Van Breda: Oh, wow. That's amazing. So my beautiful ladies

and gentleman, you're all welcome to go to my website.

Everything is there. The magazine is there everything is

there. It is self love. And how it it's the latest for me.com.

The reason why we had to change it people could not spell

Ignite. People could not spell it out. It's slim, self love.

For me that gum. And the reason what I wanted to have my

business name called self love ignites me. It spells slim,

yeas, I have them down. I'm very clever. I'm writing the most

beautiful poetry I'm very creative, and very creative with

like, moments with authentic gods. But in my home language,

Afrikaans slim, means wise. I use self love, and mindfulness

to change my lifestyle for ever. I went on my Omi and Xander

plan. That means eating plan, that means dancing, that means

mental health, physical health, everything. So I will be on the

wrist for the rest of my life. And I want to be 120 years old.

I've got 62 years to go. I will be forever on my life will be on

my own and Xander plan. So that's something that a lot of

people are no but then something that people don't know that I

sometimes dance up to 30 times a day. Wow.

So that's my exercise. I start off with walking on sunshine

because it brings me back to my essence. And I ain't off. And

with all the coffee chats I have with all the meetings are even

on my beautiful Power Hour TV show. We are dancing, because

dancing makes your vibration. Amazing. And it lifts you up.

And it keeps me slim.

I love it. Oh my goodness, you are the dancing

queen and mwah it's beautiful. So this has been what an amazing

transformation. You are so impressive. You are making the

world a better place. It's absolutely incredible. I loved

your story. And we're going to share this with my audience and

the world as well. And the shining brightly podcast is all

about inspiration. And you've just heard some ladies and

gentlemen. And so if you need to get a hold of me at

shiningbrightly.com You can find my book you can find the podcast

you can find speaking in my advocacy work where we lift up

others, we're shining brightly, she's putting shades on SONET as

well. And so just remember, if we shine brightly, just a little

each day for ourselves very important for others to lift

them up for our neighbours in our communities, the world would

be a better place to net ;pove walking on sunshine and shining

brightly with you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

MWAH MWAH
