So if you are finding 14 00:00:43,321 --> 00:00:46,201 Speaker 2: yourself in two minds, you're struggling to trust yourself, or 15 00:00:46,241 --> 00:00:49,121 Speaker 2: you're just finding it really challenging to make decisions, We're 16 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,681 Speaker 2: going to help you uncover about what to do next, 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,081 Speaker 2: how to make decisions for you, and how we both 18 00:00:54,081 --> 00:00:56,921 Speaker 2: in our personal lives have had experiences where we have 19 00:00:56,961 --> 00:00:59,321 Speaker 2: been at that crossroads and what we've kind of have 20 00:00:59,441 --> 00:01:00,681 Speaker 2: done to essentially get out of. 21 00:01:00,641 --> 00:01:03,321 Speaker 1: It and all the outside noise comes along with it. 22 00:01:03,361 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: And we're going to share some personal stories recently that's 23 00:01:05,681 --> 00:01:08,041 Speaker 1: happened to us and how hard it's been to make 24 00:01:08,081 --> 00:01:10,721 Speaker 1: decisions because you're trying to listen to your own gut 25 00:01:10,761 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: intuition and what's right for you. Then you're also wanting 26 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: the opinions of the people that you trust, and then 27 00:01:15,721 --> 00:01:18,681 Speaker 1: there's also the outside noise of social media and it 28 00:01:18,721 --> 00:01:20,681 Speaker 1: can feel a lot. But before we get into it, 29 00:01:20,681 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: what is your share of the week? 30 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: My Share of the Week is actually a YouTube channel. 31 00:01:24,441 --> 00:01:26,401 Speaker 2: It's called Yoga Nidra. I don't know if you've heard 32 00:01:26,401 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: it before, but essentially it's a total nervous system reset. 33 00:01:30,401 --> 00:01:32,601 Speaker 2: So it's a type of meditation that you can do 34 00:01:32,721 --> 00:01:34,961 Speaker 2: and they have videos anywhere from five minutes all the 35 00:01:34,961 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: way up to thirty minutes, and you can choose based 36 00:01:37,401 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: on how much or little time that you have. So 37 00:01:40,081 --> 00:01:44,481 Speaker 2: it's Yoga Nidra and IDR with Ali. 38 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,161 Speaker 1: Yeah, yoga or meditations or both mixed together. 39 00:01:48,321 --> 00:01:50,481 Speaker 2: No, So you're lying down, it's yoga. 40 00:01:50,521 --> 00:01:51,321 Speaker 1: Sounds like it's yoga. 41 00:01:51,401 --> 00:01:53,361 Speaker 2: Hey, it sounds like it's an actual yoga, but it's not. 42 00:01:53,441 --> 00:01:56,281 Speaker 2: It's meditation. And you're lying down and you close your 43 00:01:56,281 --> 00:01:58,361 Speaker 2: eyes and you kind of just listen and you go 44 00:01:58,441 --> 00:01:59,481 Speaker 2: through the process with her. 45 00:02:00,321 --> 00:02:02,761 Speaker 1: Between yoga Nietra and normal meditation. 46 00:02:03,401 --> 00:02:06,241 Speaker 2: This one, I feel is very body away. So she 47 00:02:06,321 --> 00:02:08,321 Speaker 2: gets you to focus on Let's say, for example, you've 48 00:02:08,321 --> 00:02:11,361 Speaker 2: got your eyes closed and she'll take you through. Okay, now, 49 00:02:11,561 --> 00:02:15,041 Speaker 2: soften your shoulders and connect with your breath, and she 50 00:02:15,121 --> 00:02:16,841 Speaker 2: gets you to kind of go through all of your 51 00:02:16,841 --> 00:02:19,481 Speaker 2: body parts and really allow yourself to kind of sink 52 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,441 Speaker 2: into the mattress. It's a really cool experience. 53 00:02:21,921 --> 00:02:23,921 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that you have spoken about those quite 54 00:02:23,921 --> 00:02:24,161 Speaker 1: a lot. 55 00:02:24,321 --> 00:02:24,761 Speaker 2: I love it. 56 00:02:24,921 --> 00:02:27,801 Speaker 1: That's awesome. I'm going to recommend where I go for 57 00:02:28,121 --> 00:02:31,321 Speaker 1: my skin. I absolutely love it. I've been on a 58 00:02:31,401 --> 00:02:33,361 Speaker 1: skin journey for a very long time. When I came 59 00:02:33,361 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: off the pill when I was twenty three, I had 60 00:02:35,281 --> 00:02:38,881 Speaker 1: crazy acne and from there I picked it. I had scars, 61 00:02:39,481 --> 00:02:41,841 Speaker 1: got a lot of acupuntia, I worked my gut health 62 00:02:41,881 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: cleared up my skin, and that I was left with 63 00:02:43,321 --> 00:02:45,681 Speaker 1: a lot of scarring discolouration. I just don't have like 64 00:02:45,721 --> 00:02:49,281 Speaker 1: that really even complexion. So I go to bo Aesthetics 65 00:02:49,321 --> 00:02:51,761 Speaker 1: and I see a girl called Tara, and the main 66 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: treatment I'm getting is skin needling and altering with called 67 00:02:56,321 --> 00:02:59,281 Speaker 1: skin genesis, and it's a type of laser treatment, but 68 00:02:59,321 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: there's no downtime, and I want to go out in 69 00:03:01,441 --> 00:03:03,801 Speaker 1: the sun and walk and like do my thing and train. 70 00:03:04,281 --> 00:03:07,521 Speaker 1: So Genesis instantly afterwards, you'll walk out and your skin 71 00:03:07,641 --> 00:03:10,481 Speaker 1: is glowing stuff. I love it. So I've beginning that 72 00:03:10,561 --> 00:03:12,321 Speaker 1: once a month, been going for a skin treatment. It's 73 00:03:12,361 --> 00:03:14,361 Speaker 1: also the same place that I get my botox and 74 00:03:14,401 --> 00:03:16,321 Speaker 1: I get my lips some once a year. Yeah, and 75 00:03:16,321 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: they're just awesome. I love the girls there. I feel 76 00:03:18,281 --> 00:03:21,241 Speaker 1: like they're very experienced, they're very more on the natural side. 77 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,481 Speaker 1: So if you've been thinking about going down that route, 78 00:03:23,561 --> 00:03:25,161 Speaker 1: or you want someone to really take care of your 79 00:03:25,161 --> 00:03:28,521 Speaker 1: skin who's so passionate, go and see the girls at boasts. 80 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,081 Speaker 1: They're awesome. Have to look in not sponsored by the way. 81 00:03:31,121 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: I genuinely just love them. And I get asked about 82 00:03:33,001 --> 00:03:34,281 Speaker 1: it all the time where I go for that kind 83 00:03:34,281 --> 00:03:36,441 Speaker 1: of stuff and they're in Palm Beach, So. 84 00:03:36,481 --> 00:03:37,921 Speaker 2: Yeah, you do rave about those girls. 85 00:03:37,921 --> 00:03:38,441 Speaker 1: Oh I love that. 86 00:03:38,601 --> 00:03:40,881 Speaker 2: Oh beautiful. All right, let's get stuck into it. 87 00:03:40,921 --> 00:03:42,161 Speaker 1: Oh, let's get stuck into it. 88 00:03:42,441 --> 00:03:45,281 Speaker 2: So it can be really challenging when we're going through 89 00:03:45,321 --> 00:03:47,641 Speaker 2: something and like all we want to do is get 90 00:03:47,681 --> 00:03:50,241 Speaker 2: the people around us to rally around us, you know, like, 91 00:03:50,441 --> 00:03:52,361 Speaker 2: especially if we're in a place where we don't feel 92 00:03:52,361 --> 00:03:54,321 Speaker 2: like we can trust ourselves, the first thing that you 93 00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:56,161 Speaker 2: want to do is like go to somebody for support 94 00:03:56,161 --> 00:03:57,481 Speaker 2: because you're like, what's your opinion? 95 00:03:57,601 --> 00:03:58,961 Speaker 1: And you value their opinion so much. 96 00:03:59,121 --> 00:04:00,961 Speaker 2: You do because you love them and you care about them, 97 00:04:01,001 --> 00:04:02,561 Speaker 2: and you know that they care about you too. 98 00:04:02,441 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: And you care about what they think too. Oh big. 99 00:04:04,521 --> 00:04:07,921 Speaker 2: Yeah, but sometimes that can also be a conflicting thing 100 00:04:08,001 --> 00:04:11,361 Speaker 2: because maybe what they share with you is something that 101 00:04:11,641 --> 00:04:13,801 Speaker 2: is not what you feel deep down. Yeah, And then 102 00:04:13,841 --> 00:04:16,401 Speaker 2: sometimes it can be really hard to discern, Okay, should 103 00:04:16,441 --> 00:04:18,601 Speaker 2: I listen to this person or should I listen to myself? 104 00:04:19,161 --> 00:04:21,041 Speaker 2: When you're really struggling to trust yourself, I can be 105 00:04:21,081 --> 00:04:22,281 Speaker 2: a really challenging thing to do. 106 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: And then sometimes you've got your rose colored glasses on 107 00:04:24,761 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: or you're so deep in it you can't see things 108 00:04:27,801 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: that they can see. Then it can also be triggering 109 00:04:30,281 --> 00:04:31,721 Speaker 1: when they bring that up and you're like, oh, well 110 00:04:31,761 --> 00:04:33,961 Speaker 1: that's not how it is. Yes, you know, it can 111 00:04:34,001 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: be really hard. 112 00:04:35,121 --> 00:04:38,001 Speaker 2: I think, just like a bit of a personal experience, 113 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,601 Speaker 2: not when I was with silver Fox, when I was 114 00:04:40,641 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: with my relationship before that yes, there was a fair 115 00:04:43,481 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: bit of that for me. I was really into minds 116 00:04:45,761 --> 00:04:48,041 Speaker 2: in the relationship just because of things that we were 117 00:04:48,081 --> 00:04:51,441 Speaker 2: kind of navigating through, and it was a really conflicting time. 118 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,601 Speaker 2: I feel like I kind of lost myself in that relationship. 119 00:04:53,641 --> 00:04:56,321 Speaker 2: And I remember coming to you and just saying, this 120 00:04:56,361 --> 00:04:58,161 Speaker 2: is how I'm feeling, this is what's happening. And I 121 00:04:58,201 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: remember when you first came to me and you know, 122 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: shared with me your opinion on it. I remember feeling 123 00:05:03,001 --> 00:05:05,721 Speaker 2: that like internal resistance of like, but I don't want 124 00:05:05,721 --> 00:05:07,921 Speaker 2: that to be true. And then I remember going to 125 00:05:07,961 --> 00:05:10,281 Speaker 2: you and then bouncing to my dad and then going 126 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,041 Speaker 2: to my sister, and everyone's opinion was the same because 127 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,241 Speaker 2: obviously they're not emotionally invested in it, and I was like, 128 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,121 Speaker 2: so deeply in love, so what I thought? And I 129 00:05:19,161 --> 00:05:20,601 Speaker 2: had my rose colored glasses on. 130 00:05:20,961 --> 00:05:23,801 Speaker 1: You know, it does get so noisy. Yeah, it's cool 131 00:05:23,801 --> 00:05:25,361 Speaker 1: because when we share stuff with each other, we know 132 00:05:25,401 --> 00:05:27,121 Speaker 1: it's from a place of love or it's not a 133 00:05:27,121 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: place of judgment. And I kept reminding you too, like 134 00:05:30,521 --> 00:05:33,721 Speaker 1: anything we say we're not in the relationship. It is 135 00:05:33,801 --> 00:05:35,841 Speaker 1: so easy to sit here on my high horse out 136 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,161 Speaker 1: here going well, what about this and what about that? 137 00:05:38,241 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: And you said this and about this. You know you're 138 00:05:40,481 --> 00:05:42,921 Speaker 1: the only one in it. So even after we had 139 00:05:42,921 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: that discussion, I almost like encourage you to go and 140 00:05:46,561 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: explore it again. Yeah, I was like, you have to 141 00:05:49,561 --> 00:05:53,041 Speaker 1: be one hundred percent sure that this is the right 142 00:05:53,041 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: decision for you or not the right decision for you. 143 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,841 Speaker 1: You almost need to block all of us out for 144 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,401 Speaker 1: a moment. And what was Tiana want? 145 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,241 Speaker 2: Yeah, so just to give you guys some context around 146 00:06:01,281 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: what I she's talking about. So obviously not silver Fox, 147 00:06:04,081 --> 00:06:05,841 Speaker 2: but my relationship before that, I was very much in 148 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,561 Speaker 2: love with this man, and we were together for about 149 00:06:07,561 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: a year and a half, and I genuinely thought that 150 00:06:09,921 --> 00:06:11,681 Speaker 2: this man was going to be like my life partner. 151 00:06:11,761 --> 00:06:14,361 Speaker 2: Everything lined up, everything seemed good on paper, Like we 152 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,281 Speaker 2: had a couple of challenges that kind of stopped us 153 00:06:16,281 --> 00:06:20,801 Speaker 2: from being able to really move forward in the relationship. However, 154 00:06:21,161 --> 00:06:23,241 Speaker 2: once I ended up leaving, I thought I made the 155 00:06:23,281 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: right decision and I thought then I was done. I 156 00:06:25,481 --> 00:06:27,601 Speaker 2: was like, Okay, I've kind of at my limit. This 157 00:06:27,641 --> 00:06:30,041 Speaker 2: is where I leave. Saying this relationship would mean me 158 00:06:30,121 --> 00:06:33,801 Speaker 2: abandoning myself more than I already was, and so I 159 00:06:33,801 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: felt like I needed to let go, and I did, 160 00:06:36,041 --> 00:06:38,481 Speaker 2: and then I chose to move on and I got 161 00:06:38,521 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: with Silver Fox. And after that relationship, I realized I 162 00:06:42,801 --> 00:06:46,281 Speaker 2: was kind of distracting myself from addressing like the heartbreak 163 00:06:46,281 --> 00:06:49,201 Speaker 2: that I was feeling from that relationship. Yeah, and I 164 00:06:49,281 --> 00:06:51,121 Speaker 2: honestly thought I was doing the right thing. Like I 165 00:06:51,201 --> 00:06:53,281 Speaker 2: just thought, Okay, well, this isn't working, so I need 166 00:06:53,281 --> 00:06:55,281 Speaker 2: to force myself to move on because I need to 167 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,201 Speaker 2: protect myself now. 168 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: So many people could relate to that I reckon. 169 00:06:58,001 --> 00:07:00,961 Speaker 2: And then after Silver Fox and I kind of split 170 00:07:01,041 --> 00:07:03,721 Speaker 2: and I left him and decided that I wasn't maybe 171 00:07:03,761 --> 00:07:05,561 Speaker 2: in it for the right reasons, and I just wasn't 172 00:07:05,561 --> 00:07:07,081 Speaker 2: fair that I wasn't as in love with him as 173 00:07:07,121 --> 00:07:09,681 Speaker 2: he was with me. I had like a couple of 174 00:07:09,681 --> 00:07:13,081 Speaker 2: months of like grieving, and in that time, I realized 175 00:07:13,121 --> 00:07:15,361 Speaker 2: that I still was very much in love with my ex, 176 00:07:16,081 --> 00:07:18,681 Speaker 2: and just all of those feelings and all of the 177 00:07:19,081 --> 00:07:21,361 Speaker 2: love that I had came back. And you know when 178 00:07:21,401 --> 00:07:23,121 Speaker 2: your mind does that thing, or you never forget about 179 00:07:23,121 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: all the things. 180 00:07:23,561 --> 00:07:26,801 Speaker 1: That were wrong, or everyone listening's like yeah, a man, yeah. 181 00:07:26,601 --> 00:07:28,921 Speaker 2: And I just all of a sudden everything about the 182 00:07:28,961 --> 00:07:31,801 Speaker 2: relationship was good, you know, and it just reminded me 183 00:07:31,841 --> 00:07:34,761 Speaker 2: of all the beautiful times. And this was actually right 184 00:07:34,801 --> 00:07:38,041 Speaker 2: before Bali. Right before Bali, I was in this headspace 185 00:07:38,041 --> 00:07:40,561 Speaker 2: where I was like, okay, you know, and after having 186 00:07:40,601 --> 00:07:43,401 Speaker 2: lost Lucy. Lucy passed away right before Bali, and I 187 00:07:43,441 --> 00:07:45,961 Speaker 2: remember thinking to myself, like, life is so fucking short 188 00:07:46,481 --> 00:07:49,201 Speaker 2: if I don't reach out and let him know how 189 00:07:49,281 --> 00:07:51,881 Speaker 2: I was feeling and potentially try again, Like will it 190 00:07:51,921 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: be something that I regret for the rest of my life? 191 00:07:54,321 --> 00:07:56,921 Speaker 2: And I was so torn and so into minds and 192 00:07:57,001 --> 00:08:00,201 Speaker 2: just so scared of everyone's judgment around me potentially choosing that. 193 00:08:01,121 --> 00:08:03,201 Speaker 2: But then I just remember thinking to myself, like, Okay, 194 00:08:03,241 --> 00:08:05,521 Speaker 2: I really need to like kind of go within and 195 00:08:05,681 --> 00:08:07,441 Speaker 2: I need to listen to what it is that I 196 00:08:07,481 --> 00:08:08,721 Speaker 2: want because at the end of the day, it would 197 00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:10,441 Speaker 2: have to be something that I live with. Yeah, I 198 00:08:10,481 --> 00:08:12,761 Speaker 2: have to be the life that I lead, the person 199 00:08:12,801 --> 00:08:15,321 Speaker 2: that I'm lay in bed at night every single night 200 00:08:15,401 --> 00:08:17,281 Speaker 2: and spend the rest of my life with.

You've got to try, 205 00:08:24,561 --> 00:08:27,361 Speaker 2: because if you don't, then with wonder, you'll always wonder. 206 00:08:27,721 --> 00:08:30,121 Speaker 2: And I was really in this wondering mindset of like 207 00:08:30,721 --> 00:08:34,121 Speaker 2: what if you know?

And honestly, after that, I feel really 212 00:08:45,281 --> 00:08:47,081 Speaker 2: good and at peace with it, and just like I'm 213 00:08:47,081 --> 00:08:50,321 Speaker 2: able to let it go properly, and yeah. 214 00:08:50,041 --> 00:08:53,081 Speaker 1: It's so important to go within Sometimes I love having 215 00:08:53,161 --> 00:08:55,681 Speaker 1: the opinions of my close people, and so do you. 216 00:08:55,721 --> 00:08:57,361 Speaker 1: But ye, at the end of the day, like no 217 00:08:57,401 --> 00:08:59,521 Speaker 1: one else is in your shoes. Even though I'd give 218 00:08:59,561 --> 00:09:01,841 Speaker 1: my opinion when you asked, wasn't just like, ah, do 219 00:09:01,961 --> 00:09:04,641 Speaker 1: this and then asked what I thought?

Yeah. Yeah. Having done that, honestly 240 00:09:49,561 --> 00:09:51,441 Speaker 2: was like what I needed to do. And when I 241 00:09:51,481 --> 00:09:53,961 Speaker 2: split up with him, I thought like, Okay, I've tried everything. 242 00:09:54,161 --> 00:09:56,561 Speaker 2: And then having had time and like a year apart 243 00:09:56,641 --> 00:09:58,361 Speaker 2: or however long it had been, I was like, Okay, 244 00:09:58,401 --> 00:10:00,321 Speaker 2: well maybe I still don't feel like I'm at that 245 00:10:00,361 --> 00:10:02,561 Speaker 2: point yet. And so me having had that conversation with 246 00:10:02,681 --> 00:10:05,161 Speaker 2: him allowed me to feel like, oh wow, okay. We 247 00:10:05,201 --> 00:10:07,281 Speaker 2: spoke about therapy, we spoke about what that would look 248 00:10:07,361 --> 00:10:11,041 Speaker 2: like and it's just like now it's no longer an option. Yeah. 249 00:10:11,401 --> 00:10:12,841 Speaker 1: And I feel like once you did that too, you 250 00:10:12,841 --> 00:10:16,001 Speaker 1: were like, Okay, I'm ready now to live my life.

So anyone that owns a business, I 255 00:10:24,481 --> 00:10:26,161 Speaker 1: don't know if you've ever been in a position like this, 256 00:10:26,321 --> 00:10:28,361 Speaker 1: or maybe you will, so listening to my story might 257 00:10:28,441 --> 00:10:32,001 Speaker 1: kind of pre prep you. In Hideaway, we love our 258 00:10:32,041 --> 00:10:34,721 Speaker 1: team and we value their opinions so much. We value 259 00:10:34,721 --> 00:10:38,081 Speaker 1: our customers' opinions and feedback, like even, for example, the 260 00:10:38,081 --> 00:10:40,361 Speaker 1: black perfume bottles. I loved those perfume bottles, but we 261 00:10:40,401 --> 00:10:42,361 Speaker 1: had so much feedback of people saying they look cheap 262 00:10:42,401 --> 00:10:44,721 Speaker 1: and tachy, so we changed them. Oh and it took 263 00:10:44,761 --> 00:10:48,361 Speaker 1: a long time, so many different samples and graphic designers 264 00:10:48,361 --> 00:10:50,041 Speaker 1: going back and forth and like, oh, I don't like 265 00:10:50,081 --> 00:10:52,601 Speaker 1: that about it. And now we've got the white bottles. 266 00:10:52,601 --> 00:10:54,721 Speaker 1: We had comments saying, oh, I prefer the black ones. 267 00:10:54,881 --> 00:10:57,601 Speaker 1: It's like, oh my gosh. So in business, what I've 268 00:10:57,681 --> 00:11:00,361 Speaker 1: learned lately, and I've always tried to be the cool boss, 269 00:11:00,441 --> 00:11:02,761 Speaker 1: the cool staff member that everyone likes, someone gets along with, 270 00:11:02,801 --> 00:11:04,641 Speaker 1: Oh she's so crazy. Like ah, Like, I've got this 271 00:11:04,761 --> 00:11:08,401 Speaker 1: story because my biggest wound is being abandoned or rejected 272 00:11:08,521 --> 00:11:11,121 Speaker 1: or not liked. I'm very well aware of it. Hence 273 00:11:11,121 --> 00:11:12,681 Speaker 1: why I don't want to be a team leader, because 274 00:11:12,681 --> 00:11:14,961 Speaker 1: I'm just not great at it. I just want to 275 00:11:14,961 --> 00:11:18,761 Speaker 1: be liked. But yes, Steve and I decided to bring 276 00:11:18,761 --> 00:11:22,521 Speaker 1: out natural lubricant. We thought this was a genius idea. 277 00:11:22,801 --> 00:11:25,041 Speaker 1: We were buying a natural loube from America. It was 278 00:11:25,041 --> 00:11:26,841 Speaker 1: costing me nearly one hundred and fifty dollars once I 279 00:11:26,921 --> 00:11:29,121 Speaker 1: paid for shipping, and the freaking product. Wow, it's like 280 00:11:29,201 --> 00:11:31,521 Speaker 1: a fifty meal tube. Yeah, not even a big tube. 281 00:11:31,801 --> 00:11:33,521 Speaker 1: We like to have sex. We go through that often. 282 00:11:35,081 --> 00:11:37,121 Speaker 1: So we thought we've got the means. We have our 283 00:11:37,161 --> 00:11:39,881 Speaker 1: own manufacturing warehouse where we make all of our products. 284 00:11:39,921 --> 00:11:42,481 Speaker 1: We can make this, So we decided to make it. 285 00:11:42,921 --> 00:11:44,481 Speaker 1: We first put it to the team. They were like 286 00:11:44,681 --> 00:11:48,241 Speaker 1: really hesitant, and not everyone, just a couple. There's a 287 00:11:48,241 --> 00:11:51,041 Speaker 1: bit of resistance. But we didn't realize the extent of 288 00:11:51,081 --> 00:11:52,721 Speaker 1: how uncomfortable it made a lot of people. And that's 289 00:11:52,721 --> 00:11:55,081 Speaker 1: another whole conversation I want to have later on. Not 290 00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:56,841 Speaker 1: to throw anyone on the bus or mentioned names. We 291 00:11:56,921 --> 00:11:59,241 Speaker 1: just noticed there was resistance and a lot of them 292 00:11:59,241 --> 00:12:02,081 Speaker 1: had really strong opinions on how damaging it would be 293 00:12:02,121 --> 00:12:05,281 Speaker 1: to the brand, how it wasn't aligned, it was going 294 00:12:05,321 --> 00:12:07,281 Speaker 1: to be bad on my name. I'm going to copple 295 00:12:07,281 --> 00:12:09,401 Speaker 1: a lot of hate media. We're going to jump on board. 296 00:12:09,921 --> 00:12:12,681 Speaker 1: It was uncomfortable. They want to work on it, and 297 00:12:12,721 --> 00:12:15,801 Speaker 1: Steve and I were really taken back. One I learned 298 00:12:16,001 --> 00:12:19,801 Speaker 1: that everyone's got a different opinion on everything, and sometimes 299 00:12:19,801 --> 00:12:22,241 Speaker 1: there's too many cooks in the kitchen. Secondly, this is 300 00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:23,841 Speaker 1: something Steve and I really want to do, and we 301 00:12:23,881 --> 00:12:26,121 Speaker 1: own the business. Yeah, our butt's on the line. We're 302 00:12:26,161 --> 00:12:28,081 Speaker 1: the one that have to pay the bills, make sure 303 00:12:28,161 --> 00:12:30,361 Speaker 1: everyone's covert, everyone's got a job like this is our decision, 304 00:12:30,681 --> 00:12:33,161 Speaker 1: so we had to stand strong by that. And Thirdly, 305 00:12:33,201 --> 00:12:36,521 Speaker 1: it was just very noisy and I found this really hard. 306 00:12:37,321 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: I was really rattled by it. Everyone's opinions and mixed opinions, 307 00:12:42,401 --> 00:12:44,961 Speaker 1: opinions that didn't agree with ours. Because we were just like, 308 00:12:45,241 --> 00:12:47,721 Speaker 1: we can't see the problem with this. I can't see 309 00:12:47,761 --> 00:12:50,641 Speaker 1: anything wrong with doing this, and it was really noisy, 310 00:12:50,681 --> 00:12:52,601 Speaker 1: and there was one night at home where it was 311 00:12:52,681 --> 00:12:55,401 Speaker 1: just really it was upsetting Steve and I and he's like, 312 00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:58,041 Speaker 1: have we made the wrong decision? Is this not aligned 313 00:12:58,081 --> 00:13:01,481 Speaker 1: with Hideaway? Is this off brand? And I was like, no, babe, 314 00:13:01,641 --> 00:13:04,561 Speaker 1: this is aligned for us. It's a very authentic product 315 00:13:04,601 --> 00:13:07,961 Speaker 1: for us. And sex is not something as you guys 316 00:13:08,001 --> 00:13:11,281 Speaker 1: know that I shy away from talking about. I want 317 00:13:11,321 --> 00:13:14,161 Speaker 1: it to feel so normal and so comfortable, because for me, 318 00:13:14,881 --> 00:13:18,361 Speaker 1: sex is connection. It's how we create life. It's pleasurable, 319 00:13:18,401 --> 00:13:21,041 Speaker 1: it's fun, and it's something we all do. Why is 320 00:13:21,081 --> 00:13:23,441 Speaker 1: that something that we should be uncomfortable with? And a 321 00:13:23,641 --> 00:13:26,641 Speaker 1: product like lube. I have friends that have pcos. I 322 00:13:26,641 --> 00:13:29,961 Speaker 1: have friends that get bacterial infections and thrushes from using 323 00:13:29,961 --> 00:13:34,201 Speaker 1: products that have fragrances and chemicals and shit ingredients. I 324 00:13:34,281 --> 00:13:37,441 Speaker 1: care about what goes in and down there, you really do. 325 00:13:37,881 --> 00:13:39,361 Speaker 1: And if I'm going to use a product, it needs 326 00:13:39,401 --> 00:13:42,481 Speaker 1: to be natural. So being able to create a product 327 00:13:42,521 --> 00:13:44,801 Speaker 1: and be in full control of what's actually going in 328 00:13:44,801 --> 00:13:48,001 Speaker 1: that it's amazing, so important. It was really tough, and 329 00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:50,241 Speaker 1: we obviously went ahead with a product and it's now 330 00:13:50,281 --> 00:13:53,961 Speaker 1: live on the website shameless Plug. But it's an incredible product. Yeah, 331 00:13:53,961 --> 00:13:56,281 Speaker 1: it was just an example of things can get really, 332 00:13:56,321 --> 00:13:59,961 Speaker 1: really noisy, and it would be so easy to just 333 00:14:00,001 --> 00:14:02,081 Speaker 1: be like, oh, fuck it, it's too hard, like everyone's unhappy. 334 00:14:02,121 --> 00:14:03,761 Speaker 1: My people please wanted to come out and just get 335 00:14:03,841 --> 00:14:06,321 Speaker 1: rid of it.

We've 352 00:14:46,401 --> 00:14:48,561 Speaker 1: had physios reach out and say like, oh my gosh, 353 00:14:48,601 --> 00:14:50,321 Speaker 1: I've got women that have just had babies and they 354 00:14:50,361 --> 00:14:53,041 Speaker 1: need a natural product. It's really cool, Like it's a 355 00:14:53,081 --> 00:14:56,201 Speaker 1: really cool product. But it was definitely a really hard 356 00:14:56,201 --> 00:14:59,641 Speaker 1: moment for me of this feels so noisy. Yeah, but 357 00:14:59,681 --> 00:15:02,321 Speaker 1: when I bring myself back and I ground myself, this 358 00:15:02,321 --> 00:15:05,401 Speaker 1: feels right for me and my business and Steve, and 359 00:15:05,441 --> 00:15:08,201 Speaker 1: we're gonna go ahead with this. Yeah, And yeah, ruffled 360 00:15:08,201 --> 00:15:09,881 Speaker 1: a few feathers and a few staff members were not 361 00:15:09,881 --> 00:15:12,441 Speaker 1: happy about it, and I'm so glad they voiced it. 362 00:15:12,481 --> 00:15:14,881 Speaker 1: I'm so glad they felt safe enough. And like I said, 363 00:15:14,881 --> 00:15:17,361 Speaker 1: we value their opinion, but sometimes you just have to 364 00:15:17,401 --> 00:15:18,121 Speaker 1: do what's right for you. 365 00:15:18,241 --> 00:15:18,681 Speaker 2: Yeah. 366 00:15:18,721 --> 00:15:21,201 Speaker 1: And I could have easily gone into people pleasing and 367 00:15:21,281 --> 00:15:23,721 Speaker 1: just canceled the product. And we invested, like, you know, 368 00:15:24,041 --> 00:15:27,081 Speaker 1: over two hundred thousand dollars in this product. Imagine just 369 00:15:27,121 --> 00:15:27,761 Speaker 1: throwing that all. 370 00:15:27,681 --> 00:15:30,281 Speaker 2: Away, Like, and how quickly it is, even what you 371 00:15:30,321 --> 00:15:32,881 Speaker 2: mentioned about Steve saying oh did we make the rocks, 372 00:15:33,281 --> 00:15:35,561 Speaker 2: Like how easy it is when there's noise around you, 373 00:15:35,881 --> 00:15:37,961 Speaker 2: how quickly you can go to question then your own 374 00:15:38,081 --> 00:15:40,681 Speaker 2: judgment yep. And it's just like so easy can switch 375 00:15:40,761 --> 00:15:41,041 Speaker 2: and you. 376 00:15:40,961 --> 00:15:43,361 Speaker 1: Can do it in a workplace, in the relationship, in 377 00:15:43,401 --> 00:15:45,921 Speaker 1: any situation. When it's so noisy, you do start to 378 00:15:45,921 --> 00:15:48,801 Speaker 1: doubt yourself for that minute. And that's why it's so important. 379 00:15:49,321 --> 00:15:52,121 Speaker 1: I love that like off center analogy, Like if you're 380 00:15:52,121 --> 00:15:54,041 Speaker 1: in the middle and then you slide to the left 381 00:15:54,121 --> 00:15:56,481 Speaker 1: or slide to the right, you're not fully clear. Bring 382 00:15:56,521 --> 00:15:59,121 Speaker 1: yourself back to center by slowing down and getting back 383 00:15:59,161 --> 00:16:03,521 Speaker 1: connected to your body take a big breath. For me, 384 00:16:03,601 --> 00:16:05,361 Speaker 1: I was like, why did I want to bring this 385 00:16:05,401 --> 00:16:08,281 Speaker 1: product out? I can't get anything in Australia. I care 386 00:16:08,321 --> 00:16:10,761 Speaker 1: about what I use down there. I love sex, I 387 00:16:10,761 --> 00:16:13,521 Speaker 1: love talking about it. I normalize it more and I'm 388 00:16:13,561 --> 00:16:15,881 Speaker 1: in full control of what's actually going into this product. 389 00:16:16,121 --> 00:16:19,241 Speaker 1: I know this is going to help a lot of people. Yeah, yes, Seguin, 390 00:16:19,441 --> 00:16:20,561 Speaker 1: it's a big fuck yes for me. 391 00:16:20,681 --> 00:16:21,161 Speaker 2: Yeah. 392 00:16:21,201 --> 00:16:23,081 Speaker 1: And it kind of like drowned the noise out. So 393 00:16:23,121 --> 00:16:25,681 Speaker 1: if you're ever in a spot where you feel like 394 00:16:25,761 --> 00:16:28,321 Speaker 1: it's very noisy, just come back to you, come back 395 00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:30,001 Speaker 1: to your body, come back to your heart, come back 396 00:16:30,001 --> 00:16:34,001 Speaker 1: to your breath. Take your time slow and you'll get 397 00:16:34,281 --> 00:16:34,881 Speaker 1: super clear. 398 00:16:35,721 --> 00:16:36,441 Speaker 2: Oh I love that. 399 00:16:36,441 --> 00:16:36,961 Speaker 1: It's tricky. 400 00:16:37,121 --> 00:16:40,441 Speaker 2: Yeah it is, but it's when you sit in the silence. 401 00:16:40,161 --> 00:16:42,521 Speaker 1: Exactly, it all come up. Yeah, let the thoughts and 402 00:16:42,561 --> 00:16:45,001 Speaker 1: the disappointment and all the things that came up when 403 00:16:45,001 --> 00:16:46,561 Speaker 1: I first sat with myself. I'm like, oh my god, 404 00:16:46,601 --> 00:16:48,961 Speaker 1: this feels so uncomfortable. And I don't want anyone upset 405 00:16:49,001 --> 00:16:50,681 Speaker 1: with me, but I want my stuff being upset. I 406 00:16:50,681 --> 00:16:53,081 Speaker 1: don't want them feeling ashamed of our brand because we've 407 00:16:53,081 --> 00:16:55,041 Speaker 1: got a product that's sex related. 408 00:16:55,121 --> 00:16:57,401 Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't feel aligned, or if there's scary, feel 409 00:16:57,481 --> 00:16:59,321 Speaker 2: edgy to even look at or talk about it. 410 00:16:59,321 --> 00:17:01,401 Speaker 1: I don't want them feeling like that. Then. I'm also like, 411 00:17:01,561 --> 00:17:06,041 Speaker 1: even this podcast, we do trigger people sometimes, Yeah, and good. 412 00:17:06,801 --> 00:17:08,761 Speaker 1: I want to ruffle your feathers. I want you to 413 00:17:08,801 --> 00:17:10,761 Speaker 1: think outside the box. I want you to see what 414 00:17:10,801 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: blocks you have. I want you to see where there's shame. 415 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,041 Speaker 1: I want you to explore who's told you what along 416 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: the way that makes you have a story that that's wrong, bad, dirty, 417 00:17:19,001 --> 00:17:22,321 Speaker 1: or whatever. I want that. I hope they can go 418 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,441 Speaker 1: within and have that internal conversation with themselves, because anytime 419 00:17:26,481 --> 00:17:29,001 Speaker 1: I'm triggered by something, especially when it used to be 420 00:17:29,041 --> 00:17:32,041 Speaker 1: around sex. It took a lot of bravery to sit 421 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,561 Speaker 1: with that and go, why do I think that's slutty 422 00:17:35,041 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: or dirty or bad? Why am I judging her for 423 00:17:37,721 --> 00:17:41,801 Speaker 1: doing that? Ah, that's my own shit. I wouldn't do 424 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,561 Speaker 1: that because I've been told that that's bad. And when 425 00:17:44,561 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: you get to unpack that, you dissolve the shame and 426 00:17:46,721 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: you can just even if you don't decide to do 427 00:17:48,921 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: any of it, you can just accept people for what 428 00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:52,721 Speaker 1: they're doing. Yes, we're going to do another episode on 429 00:17:52,921 --> 00:17:56,321 Speaker 1: what we think about OnlyFans sexual energy. Yes, how we are, 430 00:17:56,321 --> 00:17:58,361 Speaker 1: where we are, different friends we have, and how they 431 00:17:58,481 --> 00:18:01,201 Speaker 1: like to live. Because it's such a cool, important conversation. 432 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,441 Speaker 2: Is way too much shame around it, and it's very 433 00:18:04,481 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: clear even in our DMS, a lot of women coming 434 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,441 Speaker 2: through being like, oh my god, thank you so much 435 00:18:08,441 --> 00:18:10,921 Speaker 2: for talking about this, because it's just there's so much 436 00:18:10,921 --> 00:18:14,521 Speaker 2: stigma around sex, especially, there's so much shame, and it 437 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: just doesn't have to be A dirty doesn't have an 438 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,161 Speaker 2: uncomfortable conversation, Yeah, it really doesn't. Yeah, So another thing 439 00:18:21,201 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 2: I can relate to the business thing, but mine kind 440 00:18:23,001 --> 00:18:26,001 Speaker 2: of looks a little bit differently. So I've loved having 441 00:18:26,041 --> 00:18:29,561 Speaker 2: business coaches, and throughout my growth journey of like creating 442 00:18:29,561 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 2: my coaching business and all of that, it has been really, 443 00:18:32,321 --> 00:18:35,841 Speaker 2: really helpful, especially in the moments where somebody else has 444 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,761 Speaker 2: already taken all the steps. I'm just plugging into them 445 00:18:38,801 --> 00:18:40,041 Speaker 2: to help me learn those steps. 446 00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: So cool. 447 00:18:40,761 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 2: That has been absolutely a game changer for my life 448 00:18:43,961 --> 00:18:46,481 Speaker 2: and for the way that I've learned how to run 449 00:18:46,521 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 2: and build a business. However, the only thing with that 450 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 2: is when you are also looking towards somebody else and 451 00:18:53,721 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 2: you think that they're above you, or you see that 452 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,161 Speaker 2: them is more experienced, more educated, more xyz. Sometimes their 453 00:19:00,201 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 2: opinion can also be the thing that blocks you from 454 00:19:02,481 --> 00:19:05,201 Speaker 2: what you want deep down. So true, right, because as 455 00:19:05,241 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 2: you think, but this person knows more than me at 456 00:19:07,761 --> 00:19:10,241 Speaker 2: least that's why I thought stool Yeah, which is a 457 00:19:10,241 --> 00:19:14,281 Speaker 2: whole lot of conversation, right, But I remember thinking towards 458 00:19:14,281 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 2: my business coaches, they know more than me. Of course 459 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: I would listen to them. They're telling me that because 460 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,801 Speaker 2: they've done business this way, this would be a good 461 00:19:21,801 --> 00:19:24,521 Speaker 2: way for me to do it. But then three years 462 00:19:24,521 --> 00:19:27,281 Speaker 2: down the line, I felt so disconnected from the way 463 00:19:27,321 --> 00:19:29,281 Speaker 2: that I was running my business because I was trying 464 00:19:29,281 --> 00:19:31,961 Speaker 2: to listen to somebody else as opposed to really listen 465 00:19:32,001 --> 00:19:35,241 Speaker 2: to what my intuitive pool said. And same thing when 466 00:19:35,241 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 2: I had partners, like we've spoken about this before, when 467 00:19:37,561 --> 00:19:41,441 Speaker 2: I've had relationships with men who are really successful in business, 468 00:19:41,521 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, I'm going to listen to 469 00:19:43,481 --> 00:19:46,441 Speaker 2: you and do business your way because it's working for you. 470 00:19:46,441 --> 00:19:48,801 Speaker 2: You're really good at it, and you are very convicted 471 00:19:48,801 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 2: in what you're talking about. And those moments where I 472 00:19:51,321 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: shifted into their way of doing business, I found myself 473 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,441 Speaker 2: so emotionally drained and overwhelmed because I was so far 474 00:19:58,561 --> 00:20:02,721 Speaker 2: away from what Tiana wanted. That I was mirroring their 475 00:20:02,761 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 2: way of life, their dream, their way of doing things 476 00:20:07,041 --> 00:20:09,521 Speaker 2: that I just felt so disconnected from myself. It really 477 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: did take a lot of time for me to sit 478 00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: with myself and go, what is this discomfort that I'm 479 00:20:15,761 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: feeling with in myself? Why is this creating such discord 480 00:20:19,041 --> 00:20:20,881 Speaker 2: in who I am and how I feel day to day? 481 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 2: Why am I so emotionally drained? And when I started 482 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,161 Speaker 2: to sit with that and stop running from that feeling, 483 00:20:26,521 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 2: I started listening and I was like, Okay, what is 484 00:20:29,521 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: it that you actually want and it's okay if it 485 00:20:32,201 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense. 486 00:20:33,281 --> 00:20:34,001 Speaker 1: Yeah. 487 00:20:34,041 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: And when I started to listen to that, I started 488 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: to follow my intuition and my heart and how I 489 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 2: genuinely wanted to live my life as opposed to what 490 00:20:42,321 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 2: somebody else thought that I should do. It wasn't to 491 00:20:44,961 --> 00:20:47,041 Speaker 2: say that their way was wrong or bad. It was 492 00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 2: beautiful and it was amazing and helped me and was 493 00:20:50,001 --> 00:20:52,841 Speaker 2: really smart, right, but for me and who I am 494 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 2: and like, that doesn't feel aligned with me. So it 495 00:20:55,041 --> 00:20:58,001 Speaker 2: really took being willing to go thank you so much 496 00:20:58,001 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 2: for your opinion and your input, and I love and 497 00:21:00,481 --> 00:21:02,841 Speaker 2: respect that. And also I'm going to do what's best 498 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:03,521 Speaker 2: for me. Yeah. 499 00:21:03,561 --> 00:21:06,041 Speaker 1: And every business is so different man runs a business 500 00:21:06,041 --> 00:21:08,601 Speaker 1: to how a woman runs Yes, is so different too. Yeah, 501 00:21:08,721 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: but it's cool when you can learn from them. But 502 00:21:10,201 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: then it's so nice to go back to, like, actually, 503 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:14,201 Speaker 1: what do I want to do and what's my outcoming? 504 00:21:14,201 --> 00:21:16,041 Speaker 1: What's my lifestyle? Like do I want to be working 505 00:21:16,241 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: like they do? 506 00:21:16,921 --> 00:21:17,161 Speaker 2: Yeah? 507 00:21:17,201 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: Maybe not? 508 00:21:17,801 --> 00:21:19,561 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I just thought it was really cool to 509 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: just bring up because sometimes we do do that, like 510 00:21:21,721 --> 00:21:23,841 Speaker 2: when we think that someone's more educated or knows more 511 00:21:23,961 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 2: or has more experience in a certain area where like 512 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 2: immediately they know better than me. Yeah, but it's not 513 00:21:29,041 --> 00:21:31,481 Speaker 2: always the case, and yes they might know right for 514 00:21:31,561 --> 00:21:34,281 Speaker 2: them and what's worked for them, but really just connecting 515 00:21:34,321 --> 00:21:37,121 Speaker 2: back with yourself first and going, no, I know what 516 00:21:37,281 --> 00:21:39,921 Speaker 2: I want to do. Ultimately, Yes, it's important to connect with. 517 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: That ondred percent. Another example I've got is recently with 518 00:21:44,481 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: Rambos passing, I briefly spoke about how I was struggling 519 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,201 Speaker 1: with the grief and how I wanted to get some support. Yeah, 520 00:21:52,721 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: and there was some messages saying that like I shouldn't 521 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: need that because it's not my son, and then I 522 00:21:59,441 --> 00:22:02,521 Speaker 1: like carry shame around how much I was struggling, And 523 00:22:02,561 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: I still sometimes have that intrusive thought of like, oh 524 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,641 Speaker 1: think you're struggling. How do you think Megan's feeling, and 525 00:22:07,681 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: like valid like what I'm feeling is nothing compared to 526 00:22:10,961 --> 00:22:14,321 Speaker 1: what she's feeling. But the outside noise and judgment around 527 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:18,281 Speaker 1: how I should be grieving has prevented me from getting support, 528 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: And logically, when I pull myself out, I'm like, well, 529 00:22:21,721 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: if I get support, I'm being held and I'm allowing 530 00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:28,201 Speaker 1: space to cry and to grieve, I can then hold 531 00:22:28,281 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: her better. I can then be stronger for her. But 532 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: right now, when I'm around her, like I crumble, like 533 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: I struggle, I feel like I'm not the best at 534 00:22:38,681 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: She reminds me nearly every second day how much I 535 00:22:41,241 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: hold her, and she's so thankful for me, and you 536 00:22:43,681 --> 00:22:46,041 Speaker 1: know all the things. I've got a beautiful bond and 537 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: we do the best we can. But yeah, I feel 538 00:22:49,001 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: like I would be able to hold her better if 539 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: I got support. But yeah, it's the outside noise once again, 540 00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: which is the theme of this whole conversation, is how 541 00:22:55,281 --> 00:22:57,361 Speaker 1: much are we listening to that outside noise and what's 542 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,321 Speaker 1: our actual truth, what feels right for us. But I'm 543 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:02,681 Speaker 1: honoring myself. I would be getting support, but I haven't 544 00:23:02,681 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: done that because of the outside noise. 545 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:07,041 Speaker 2: And you know, the crazy thing about that as well, 546 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 2: is like, who's to say that your grief isn't valid 547 00:23:10,481 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 2: just because it might not have happened directly to you. Yeah, 548 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,641 Speaker 2: you know, it's like immediately dismissing the fact that you're 549 00:23:16,681 --> 00:23:20,441 Speaker 2: so plugged into Magsie. You've been her fucking absolute rock 550 00:23:20,521 --> 00:23:23,121 Speaker 2: throughout this whole experience, and you were there every single day, 551 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: whether people saw it or not, you know, and you 552 00:23:25,481 --> 00:23:27,241 Speaker 2: did such a beautiful job and you still are. 553 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: You know. 554 00:23:28,201 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 2: It's like, who's to say that that's not worthy of 555 00:23:30,721 --> 00:23:33,801 Speaker 2: being supported just because it didn't happen to you directly, Yeah, 556 00:23:33,921 --> 00:23:36,281 Speaker 2: it has. You're so plugged into her, their family to 557 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 2: you like you did lose someone too, and it's just 558 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,441 Speaker 2: it's hard the outside noise. 559 00:23:41,441 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: And it's like you've watched her lose her son, and 560 00:23:44,441 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure you might feel like this with Lucy in 561 00:23:46,241 --> 00:23:49,041 Speaker 1: her family, but you also watch them lose a part 562 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,641 Speaker 1: of themselves. Yeah, I think I'm gonna cry now, It's okay. 563 00:23:53,961 --> 00:23:56,321 Speaker 1: I think that's really hard because I'm like, I feel 564 00:23:56,321 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: like that part of Magsie is not going to come back, 565 00:23:58,681 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: you know. I feel like when she smiles now, like 566 00:24:04,321 --> 00:24:07,361 Speaker 1: it's a difference smiley, and like there's still joy there 567 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,001 Speaker 1: every day for her and she's honestly, she's the most 568 00:24:10,001 --> 00:24:13,721 Speaker 1: amazing person the way she's grieving through this. But yeah, 569 00:24:13,761 --> 00:24:16,801 Speaker 1: I think I think that's a big part of the 570 00:24:16,801 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: grief that people don't talk about. It's really weird, it's 571 00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: hard to explain. I think she feels that too, Like 572 00:24:23,681 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: she literally cleaned it, even like little things she cleaned 573 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 1: out her whole wardrobe, and she's like, that wardrobe is 574 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: not me anymore, Like that part of me is dead. 575 00:24:30,961 --> 00:24:33,441 Speaker 1: And it's so true, and I think that's I miss 576 00:24:33,561 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: that makes you too. You just want her to be 577 00:24:35,281 --> 00:24:37,561 Speaker 1: happy and have that energy about herself when I know 578 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: there'll be I see, I see lights of it, I 579 00:24:39,961 --> 00:24:43,961 Speaker 1: see moments of it. But yeah, it's grieving Rambo. It's 580 00:24:44,001 --> 00:24:46,721 Speaker 1: grieving what she had. It's greeving who she was. It's 581 00:24:46,761 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: grieving what I know she was so looking forward to 582 00:24:49,961 --> 00:24:53,001 Speaker 1: all little moments with Rambo. It's grieving what she was 583 00:24:53,001 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: providing for Sonny with a sibling. It's grieving Thor's first child. 584 00:24:57,801 --> 00:25:00,681 Speaker 1: Is like so much of it, even like Tala with her, 585 00:25:00,721 --> 00:25:04,761 Speaker 1: Like Tala is obsessed with Rambo hold hold like she 586 00:25:04,801 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: doesn't wanted to be in a monkst like kissing him, 587 00:25:07,001 --> 00:25:10,921 Speaker 1: loving on him. There's just so much in that. But yeah, 588 00:25:10,961 --> 00:25:13,801 Speaker 1: the noise outside of people's judgments on how they think 589 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: you should grieve or how they think you should show up, 590 00:25:16,001 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: even like coming back online. Oh yeah, Mauta hate I 591 00:25:20,241 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: copture that. How dare you be happy? How dare you 592 00:25:23,001 --> 00:25:25,401 Speaker 1: post a dancing video? How I can't believe you in 593 00:25:25,441 --> 00:25:26,001 Speaker 1: promoting the. 594 00:25:25,921 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: Podcast posting on sheer Rises. 595 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, like it was bad. It was so bad, and 596 00:25:30,521 --> 00:25:33,561 Speaker 1: it's like, oh my gosh, okay, so what's their rule 597 00:25:33,561 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: book around how I should be? And just because you 598 00:25:35,961 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: see a little dance video, you don't see how I 599 00:25:38,441 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: am at night. You don't see how I am during 600 00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:42,801 Speaker 1: the day. You don't see the moments where I'm like 601 00:25:42,961 --> 00:25:45,441 Speaker 1: drowning in it. You're seeing a fucking little happy ten. 602 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: Second video or even what's funny is like it's not 603 00:25:48,001 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 2: funny at all, actually, but like the dancing videos, and 604 00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 2: then it's like two minutes later, they're not seeing, oh 605 00:25:51,681 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 2: you break down or like put on a smile for 606 00:25:54,281 --> 00:25:56,041 Speaker 2: the video and then be like we're hugging after it. 607 00:25:56,241 --> 00:25:57,761 Speaker 2: That's what it was racking down. 608 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: And it was you at our masquerade events. One saw 609 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: you having a great time, and I saw some comments 610 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,761 Speaker 1: around that. I'm like, you weren't with her the whole 611 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,761 Speaker 1: day to see her crying. You saw her put on 612 00:26:06,921 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: a brave face and get through the event and do 613 00:26:09,441 --> 00:26:11,201 Speaker 1: the best you could be. You went with her all day, 614 00:26:11,241 --> 00:26:13,561 Speaker 1: Like shut the fuck up, Okay, so angry about that. 615 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,521 Speaker 1: I was like Alice Hart and Horse like they don't 616 00:26:16,521 --> 00:26:18,481 Speaker 1: see all of that. And that's the thing with grief. 617 00:26:18,521 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: It's like no one has an opinion. You're not in it, 618 00:26:21,041 --> 00:26:22,641 Speaker 1: you don't know how you're gonna be. You can think 619 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,041 Speaker 1: that you wouldn't do. X y Z even makes it 620 00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:27,201 Speaker 1: for her, like she's always had a resistance to show 621 00:26:27,281 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: up online and now it's like this beautiful outlet for her, 622 00:26:31,201 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: for her to share her story and like, okay, sorry, 623 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: so tough, isn't it.

Every day is so different and little things 648 00:27:50,921 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: can trigger it to like I can hear a certain song, 649 00:27:53,561 --> 00:27:55,521 Speaker 1: I can see a rainbow, I can have a memory 650 00:27:55,521 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: probable on Facebook taler like I had a video message 651 00:27:59,041 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: from Megsi the other day and she was upset and 652 00:28:01,961 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: Tyler's next to me.

And like yes, even Megsie and 657 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: thought fine moments of joy and gratitude and love and 658 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:26,201 Speaker 1: they experience even pleasure again. But it's always there, always there. 659 00:28:26,481 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 2: Just something that changes you, doesn't it. You always hear 660 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:31,681 Speaker 2: people who go through grief and they just like come 661 00:28:31,721 --> 00:28:33,521 Speaker 2: out a different person on the other side. 662 00:28:33,521 --> 00:28:34,801 Speaker 1: Said to mom, and the other day, I'm like this 663 00:28:34,961 --> 00:28:37,761 Speaker 1: ever go away?

Just I don't know, like 664 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,281 Speaker 1: go a day where you don't think about it, that's 665 00:28:40,321 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: not hovering over you or horring over them, or just 666 00:28:44,001 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: like in the back of your mind like a little niggle. 667 00:28:45,761 --> 00:28:47,801 Speaker 1: I hate the good haunting, but it feels like it 668 00:28:47,921 --> 00:28:50,601 Speaker 1: just like haunts you. It's just there, you know. It's 669 00:28:50,721 --> 00:28:53,441 Speaker 1: really hard. I've never experienced something like this, touch Wood. 670 00:28:53,441 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: I've been very lucky not to lose a lot of people, 671 00:28:55,801 --> 00:29:00,761 Speaker 1: but losing a child like man and watching someone you 672 00:29:00,801 --> 00:29:03,561 Speaker 1: love so much lose someone they love so much, it's 673 00:29:03,601 --> 00:29:04,961 Speaker 1: just unbearable. 674 00:29:05,401 --> 00:29:05,801 Speaker 2: Isn't it. 675 00:29:06,041 --> 00:29:09,361 Speaker 1: But back on the conversation of Noise, you really have 676 00:29:09,441 --> 00:29:11,281 Speaker 1: to just go back in and do what's right for you, 677 00:29:11,321 --> 00:29:14,601 Speaker 1: because no one has any right to tell you how 678 00:29:14,681 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: you should be feeling, healing, grieving, what to do in 679 00:29:18,281 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: your life. Like only you know what's best for you, 680 00:29:20,241 --> 00:29:21,921 Speaker 1: and you've got to honor that. But it's really hard 681 00:29:21,961 --> 00:29:24,921 Speaker 1: when there's so much outside noise, And sometimes I think 682 00:29:25,001 --> 00:29:27,921 Speaker 1: that's why a lot of people online only show their 683 00:29:27,961 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: highlight reel. There's so much judgment to be like, oh, 684 00:29:30,361 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: be raw, be authentic, like show more. But it's like 685 00:29:33,001 --> 00:29:35,361 Speaker 1: when you do, you get slammed. Yeah, or people have 686 00:29:35,481 --> 00:29:38,401 Speaker 1: criticized and judge the way that you're doing yet And 687 00:29:38,481 --> 00:29:40,601 Speaker 1: sometimes I don't like to share something until I'm through 688 00:29:40,601 --> 00:29:43,281 Speaker 1: the other side and I can teach the lessons. But 689 00:29:43,361 --> 00:29:45,641 Speaker 1: something like this, it's like, I don't know why this 690 00:29:45,681 --> 00:29:48,601 Speaker 1: has happened. I don't know how we're going to get 691 00:29:48,601 --> 00:29:50,921 Speaker 1: out of this. I don't know what's next. I don't 692 00:29:50,961 --> 00:29:53,441 Speaker 1: know how I'm going to feel tomorrow. How makes it's 693 00:29:53,441 --> 00:29:55,721 Speaker 1: going to feel like, I don't know. This is raw 694 00:29:55,761 --> 00:29:56,161 Speaker 1: as it get. 695 00:29:56,361 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like day by day, isn't it. 696 00:29:58,441 --> 00:30:01,521 Speaker 1: It really is? Yeah, the outside noise. 697 00:30:01,561 --> 00:30:03,881 Speaker 2: With the outside noise as well. It's just a really 698 00:30:03,961 --> 00:30:07,081 Speaker 2: important thing. If you are someone who relies on other 699 00:30:07,081 --> 00:30:10,561 Speaker 2: people's opinions quite heavily, justin know that the way that 700 00:30:10,601 --> 00:30:13,681 Speaker 2: you filter out of doing that is every single time 701 00:30:13,721 --> 00:30:16,881 Speaker 2: that you want to ask somebody for their opinion, just 702 00:30:16,961 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 2: stop yourself for a second. Instead of messaging that person, 703 00:30:20,201 --> 00:30:23,641 Speaker 2: go into your phone notes and type down what you 704 00:30:23,721 --> 00:30:26,561 Speaker 2: think that you should do, and just explore what your 705 00:30:26,601 --> 00:30:30,081 Speaker 2: opinion is first before you add somebody else's opinion. And 706 00:30:30,121 --> 00:30:33,001 Speaker 2: also other people's opinion can also be a really good thing. Okay, 707 00:30:33,041 --> 00:30:35,641 Speaker 2: So we're not saying like, don't ask for support, don't 708 00:30:35,641 --> 00:30:38,041 Speaker 2: ask for the people. We literally like, oh my god, 709 00:30:38,481 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 2: we absolutely do it daily, right, and it's important and 710 00:30:42,001 --> 00:30:44,561 Speaker 2: you value those people so much, but also it's important 711 00:30:44,601 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 2: to strengthen your own as well. And that's like the 712 00:30:47,041 --> 00:30:50,161 Speaker 2: core of this conversation is just knowing that no one 713 00:30:50,321 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 2: outside of you except your best friend, like ashually for me, 714 00:30:53,641 --> 00:30:57,921 Speaker 2: is gonna know better for you. You know you best, yes, 715 00:30:57,961 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 2: and you can also do really hard things and find 716 00:31:01,201 --> 00:31:04,041 Speaker 2: uncomfortable answers within yourself, but you just have to give 717 00:31:04,041 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 2: yourself enough space to be able to discover it because 718 00:31:06,441 --> 00:31:07,321 Speaker 2: it will always come. 719 00:31:07,441 --> 00:31:09,121 Speaker 1: I love that you said that. Something else I just 720 00:31:09,121 --> 00:31:10,881 Speaker 1: thought of them too. It's like, yeah, we know each 721 00:31:10,921 --> 00:31:13,121 Speaker 1: other's internal worlds, and sometimes I think we do know 722 00:31:13,161 --> 00:31:13,961 Speaker 1: what's worth for each other. 723 00:31:14,121 --> 00:31:14,361 Speaker 2: We do. 724 00:31:15,081 --> 00:31:18,841 Speaker 1: Aka your past relationship, however, I think you knew for 725 00:31:18,881 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: a very long time that that was not going to 726 00:31:21,001 --> 00:31:25,281 Speaker 1: be your person. But all divine timing. You had to 727 00:31:25,321 --> 00:31:27,961 Speaker 1: go through that whole process. You had to have those 728 00:31:28,001 --> 00:31:31,121 Speaker 1: conversations with yourself, with him, with your dad, with me. 729 00:31:31,481 --> 00:31:33,041 Speaker 1: You had to do all of that to get to 730 00:31:33,041 --> 00:31:36,361 Speaker 1: that point of fully knowing. And that's why I encouraged you. 731 00:31:36,401 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: Even though I think I knew that this wasn't going 732 00:31:38,241 --> 00:31:40,841 Speaker 1: to be your person, I fully encouraged to do it 733 00:31:40,881 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: because you had to go through that experience. It's all 734 00:31:43,441 --> 00:31:45,481 Speaker 1: in divine timing. It's like we've all had those friends 735 00:31:45,481 --> 00:31:47,761 Speaker 1: that have gone back to toxic x's or people that 736 00:31:47,801 --> 00:31:50,041 Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, you know, you're not happy. It's 737 00:31:50,041 --> 00:31:52,801 Speaker 1: like in her own time, when she's ready, something will happen. 738 00:31:53,161 --> 00:31:55,081 Speaker 1: She'll get out of that when she's ready. It's like 739 00:31:55,121 --> 00:31:58,281 Speaker 1: trusting them to trust themselves and allow them to go 740 00:31:58,321 --> 00:32:01,161 Speaker 1: on their journey. It's not yours to control. When they ask, 741 00:32:01,401 --> 00:32:04,041 Speaker 1: you can give your opinion in a soft, beautiful, safe way, 742 00:32:04,281 --> 00:32:06,321 Speaker 1: but like, let them have their journey, let them do 743 00:32:06,401 --> 00:32:06,801 Speaker 1: their thing. 744 00:32:06,881 --> 00:32:09,001 Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, you're right, Yeah, there was a part. 745 00:32:09,041 --> 00:32:11,561 Speaker 2: That's why I had so much internal conflict because there 746 00:32:11,561 --> 00:32:15,641 Speaker 2: were things in the relationship that weren't what I needed 747 00:32:15,681 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: to feel safe and feel loved in the way that 748 00:32:18,161 --> 00:32:20,241 Speaker 2: I feel that way, you know, in the way that 749 00:32:20,281 --> 00:32:22,041 Speaker 2: I feel safe and feel loved, and I think there 750 00:32:22,041 --> 00:32:24,081 Speaker 2: were things that were missing that were always kind of 751 00:32:24,121 --> 00:32:26,681 Speaker 2: present for me. That's why I had that internal conflict 752 00:32:26,681 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 2: of maybe I should go, maybe I should stay, and 753 00:32:30,081 --> 00:32:32,041 Speaker 2: never really knowing which way to go. But it was 754 00:32:32,361 --> 00:32:35,121 Speaker 2: being able to explore all of my options, listen to myself, 755 00:32:35,161 --> 00:32:36,841 Speaker 2: and even though I made that decision to go and 756 00:32:36,881 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 2: have that conversation, the reason why I believe I felt 757 00:32:39,521 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 2: so okay after it didn't go that way, I was 758 00:32:43,281 --> 00:32:46,121 Speaker 2: like cool, Like, yeah, that was exactly how it was 759 00:32:46,161 --> 00:32:48,081 Speaker 2: meant to go, because a part of me was like, 760 00:32:48,201 --> 00:32:51,081 Speaker 2: this is the right path, this was meant to happen. 761 00:32:51,161 --> 00:32:52,921 Speaker 1: It was beautifully done. I wouldn't change it. 762 00:32:53,001 --> 00:32:54,881 Speaker 2: No, it's the best. So grateful and have so much 763 00:32:54,881 --> 00:32:56,241 Speaker 2: love and respect for him still. 764 00:32:56,081 --> 00:32:58,081 Speaker 1: And also just so proud of like how you showed 765 00:32:58,161 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: up and how you handled that communicated that Yeah, and 766 00:33:00,241 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: you could have shied away from honoring even having that 767 00:33:02,561 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: conversation of like putting your heart on the line to 768 00:33:04,721 --> 00:33:07,321 Speaker 1: have this conversation again, Like it was so cool to 769 00:33:07,441 --> 00:33:09,041 Speaker 1: witness you go through that because I think so many 770 00:33:09,081 --> 00:33:12,361 Speaker 1: people would avoid Yeah, being so vulnerable, you know. Yeah, 771 00:33:12,481 --> 00:33:14,641 Speaker 1: there's one more example too. I was just thinking of before, 772 00:33:14,721 --> 00:33:17,121 Speaker 1: Oh tell us. When I was first studying to become 773 00:33:17,161 --> 00:33:19,801 Speaker 1: a personal trainer, I never listened to myself, but I 774 00:33:19,801 --> 00:33:21,801 Speaker 1: remember someone saying to me, oh my gosh, don't be 775 00:33:21,841 --> 00:33:24,361 Speaker 1: a PTE. It is oversaturated. You'll never be able to 776 00:33:24,361 --> 00:33:26,601 Speaker 1: get clients, like there's just too many people. And I 777 00:33:26,641 --> 00:33:28,961 Speaker 1: was like, oh, oh my god, they're right, and I 778 00:33:29,001 --> 00:33:30,481 Speaker 1: literally went home to see if. I was like, Babe, 779 00:33:30,521 --> 00:33:32,521 Speaker 1: I like, I don't think I can continue this course 780 00:33:32,561 --> 00:33:36,201 Speaker 1: because it's so saturated, like I fully believed there were 781 00:33:36,361 --> 00:33:38,681 Speaker 1: like it was freaking Bible. I was like, certain, I 782 00:33:38,721 --> 00:33:40,841 Speaker 1: can't do this. They won't won't be enough clients, will 783 00:33:40,881 --> 00:33:42,161 Speaker 1: never be able to pay my bills. And he looks 784 00:33:42,161 --> 00:33:44,521 Speaker 1: at me. He's like, who the fuck told you that, babe? 785 00:33:44,561 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: Like ten thousand pets in a year, ten thousand PD's out. Yes, 786 00:33:48,361 --> 00:33:51,481 Speaker 1: He's like, there is always room for more preteens. When 787 00:33:51,521 --> 00:33:54,081 Speaker 1: you offer, someone else can't offer how they connect with you, 788 00:33:54,161 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: they won't connect with someone else, like beautiful. What I 789 00:33:56,281 --> 00:33:58,721 Speaker 1: offer compared to what you offer is totally different. You're 790 00:33:58,801 --> 00:34:01,721 Speaker 1: this like emotional safe person who can talk about body 791 00:34:01,721 --> 00:34:04,121 Speaker 1: love is like I just run the sessions like I'm 792 00:34:04,121 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: a great trainer. Don't talk about that stuff. 793 00:34:06,201 --> 00:34:06,401 Speaker 2: You go. 794 00:34:06,521 --> 00:34:09,081 Speaker 1: Everyone's so different and you will attract clients that are 795 00:34:09,161 --> 00:34:11,601 Speaker 1: right for you. Imagine if I listened to that person, 796 00:34:11,961 --> 00:34:14,121 Speaker 1: I then went on to be completely booked out and 797 00:34:14,361 --> 00:34:17,881 Speaker 1: have seventy five locations across Australia, completely booked out of 798 00:34:17,881 --> 00:34:21,281 Speaker 1: boot cams and a world tour, had successful apps with 799 00:34:21,641 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of women that download it. 800 00:34:23,521 --> 00:34:24,201 Speaker 2: That's bad US. 801 00:34:24,281 --> 00:34:25,641 Speaker 1: That was a bad US pet move. 802 00:34:25,721 --> 00:34:28,041 Speaker 2: Yeah you damn. I'm glad I became a pet like 803 00:34:28,081 --> 00:34:29,201 Speaker 2: you didn't listen to that guy. 804 00:34:29,161 --> 00:34:31,561 Speaker 1: Exactly, But how easy it can be to listen to 805 00:34:31,601 --> 00:34:33,801 Speaker 1: the outside noise and take their shit on. It's their 806 00:34:33,841 --> 00:34:36,601 Speaker 1: own projection, it's their own limiting beliefs, so just be 807 00:34:36,641 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: super aware. It's always like wrap yourself in bubble wrap. 808 00:34:39,321 --> 00:34:40,961 Speaker 1: You can hear it, but let it bounce away. If 809 00:34:40,961 --> 00:34:43,881 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel good, yeah, you know it's good. Anyways, 810 00:34:43,881 --> 00:34:47,281 Speaker 1: we hope this episode lands for you and just check 811 00:34:47,321 --> 00:34:49,841 Speaker 1: in where you're listening to the outside noise and if 812 00:34:49,841 --> 00:34:52,361 Speaker 1: it's feeling overwhelming, go back to your body, your breath 813 00:34:52,401 --> 00:34:54,681 Speaker 1: and your heart, and then you'll get clarity and what's 814 00:34:54,721 --> 00:34:55,481 Speaker 1: right for you. 815 00:34:55,601 --> 00:34:57,521 Speaker 2: Just one last thing I was squeezing there and something 816 00:34:57,561 --> 00:34:59,401 Speaker 2: that I actually said to my girlfriend two days ago, 817 00:34:59,521 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 2: who was in two minds about something I just said 818 00:35:02,521 --> 00:35:04,481 Speaker 2: to her. Whenever you feel like you're trying to make 819 00:35:04,521 --> 00:35:07,921 Speaker 2: it tough to see, just explore both avenues. Yes, be 820 00:35:08,161 --> 00:35:10,601 Speaker 2: willing to not have a biased opinion on what you're 821 00:35:10,601 --> 00:35:12,961 Speaker 2: going through or what you're trying to make a decision on, 822 00:35:13,201 --> 00:35:15,361 Speaker 2: and go, Okay, what would it look like if I 823 00:35:15,401 --> 00:35:17,881 Speaker 2: went all the way this way?
