16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: Wands of Lust, and there was a traumatic relationship that

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: she was recovering from it. It was on the back end

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: of that, through that healing journey, that she came up

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: with the idea. I'll let her describe it, but Wands

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: of Lust is the name of the company that may

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,120

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: that the Uber business Booster chose your idea?

29
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: I was little. I think the whole time I started

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: my business, I had the imposter syndrome. So getting accepted

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: and was like that step like, oh, okay, what I'm

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: doing is actually really good.

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: When I saw your name come up, and then I

34
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: was speaking in Today and I saw the product name,

35
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: I had a bit of an idea of what it

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: might be, but I'll let you describe it because I

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: don't want to get it wrong or sell it in

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: the wrong way. Julie, can you tell me about Wands

39
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: of Lust?

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, So my products are around the crystal healing benefits,

41
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: so it could be anywhere from pleasure to self care

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: to healing, and just a range of different products in

43
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: regards to that, as well as holistic oils and other

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: add ons to pair with the whole experience.

45
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Really, So I'm Julie, I'm I'm a very science kind

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: of guy. So tell me. You mentioned crystal healing benefits.

47
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: Tell me about that, because for me, I'm like, it's

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: a rock. Yeah, how is that beneficial? And how can

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: you you know, how can you put a product to

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: market claiming the benefit?

51
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely, obviously there's no scientific benefits in regards to crystals.

52
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: I'm very much like you or I want to see.

53
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: I want to see the scientifics. I want to see

54
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: the research. I want to see all of that to

55
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: believe in something. I was just reading something last night

56
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: and I was like, Okay, what's the research in it. However,

57
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: when we talk about crystals, I think it's very important

58
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: to understand that what works for people, what people gravitate to,

59
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: Like in regards to religion, you know, not everybody is

60
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: always going to agree on the foundations of it and

61
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: that state of mind. But it's like, if you have

62
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: a tool that benefits somebody in regards to the way

63
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: it makes them feel, who are we to judge what

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: tool they're using? So if it's the cibol effect or

65
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: whether it is the crystal healing benefits. If it's working

66
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: for that person, then you know it's working.

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: I see where you're coming from. Was this idea for

68
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: the product? Was it something that you had some experience

69
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: with and thought I would love to share this and

70
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: build a business around this because I think other people

71
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: might be able to benefit the way I have.

72
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, So. When I was in my early twenties,

73
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: I was in a dB relationship and I actually formed vaginism.

74
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: Most people don't really understand or no, that is. So

75
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: it's basically when the muscles in the vagina titan and

76
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: it makes it bear able to have sex.

77
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: I believe we're talking about. I've heard it pronounced differently,

78
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: so I'm stumbling. Can I get the way that you

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: pronounce it?

80
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: Please? A vaginism?

81
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: I always thought it was vaginismus.

82
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I say everything wrong.

83
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: So look, firstly, I'm sorry that that happened to you.

84
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, what you're describing is essentially it's a

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: subconscious response to trauma and a self protection thing, but

86
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: it can stay with somebody for a long time after

87
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: they're out of danger, and so the muscles tightened so

88
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: much that even when they want to have sex with

89
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: someone that they really care about it is really caring

90
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: for them. It's very painful, or they can't do it

91
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: at all. Is that correct?

92
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: Yes, that's correct. That's ae great way of explaining it.

93
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: How did you find a way to navigate that?

94
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: It was in my early twenties and Google wasn't as

95
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: open and have all the mation that it does now.

96
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: But I ended up finding the Yonnie eggs, which helped

97
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: me to really take that time for my self care

98
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: and reconnect to my body after that relationship. So Yoni

99
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: eggs are they're basically for tiger exercises, but you use

100
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: it like a tampon and you wear it and it

101
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: can promote the healing benefits with the crystals and promote

102
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 2: that self care and healing side it.

103
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: Right, I've heard about this thing in the post natal

104
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: recovery to help the pelvic floor. It's I don't know.

105
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: It's like a thing that I might use to strengthen

106
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: my forearms with a spring thing that I'm squeezing in

107
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: my hand. But you're just sitting there at work, just

108
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: going uh huh. Yeah. My friend, her mum, she was

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: a kind of mum that made all the people cringe.

110
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: She go, I just do it at the red lights,

111
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: don't you. I love that.

112
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: I used to do it with the red lights as well,

113
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: and then you do it for one or two and

114
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: then you're like, oh okay, I forget right. So they

115
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: heads are really good because it's that mindfulness that you're

116
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: wearing the egg you're doing your exercises. Absolutely, So I

117
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: started with the eggs and using crystals that way, and

118
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: then I just started using pleasure lines and it kind

119
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: of evolved from there. And then it was just an

120
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: idea that I had in COVID, like, you know, this

121
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 2: is such a taboo subject. Nobody wants to talk about it.

122
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: How can I raise awareness?

123
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: Obviously not alone? And you're thinking that other people could

124
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: benefit from this.

125
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. I mean with the range of different benefits

126
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: that the eggs have, there are a lot of women

127
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: that can use them to find that safe space or

128
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: that healing. I've worked with a lot of women who

129
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: have had failed pregnancies and they have that trauma around that,

130
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: and the eggs actually helped them to release that trauma

131
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: and recover and get ready again to move on or

132
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: try again.

133
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. So starting any business is hard to do, but

134
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, unless you're already bringing in cash flow, You're

135
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: going to have to bring in cash from somewhere else.

136
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: What were you doing when you first started this?

137
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: So I was working full time and then I also

138
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: started doing Uber Eats on the side, So you can

139
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: imagine that was a lot working full time, working on

140
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: the business in any spare time that I had, and

141
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: then going out, you know, on the weekends, trying to

142
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: earn extra money to continue contributing to the business to

143
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: help it grow, and also the learning experiences that come

144
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: with having a business.

145
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and never really.

146
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: Having a business before, you don't realize what goes into

147
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: it really, so it's a very costly learning experience I found.

148
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: So starting Ones of Last while balancing that full time gig.

149
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: What point did you find out about the Uber business

150
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: booster program.

151
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: I think I was around three to four months into

152
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: Uber eats. In delivering Uber Eats, I think it was

153
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: about just under a year after starting the business, so

154
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: it was just over a year by the time their

155
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: program started.

156
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: You started driving for Uber eats to fund the business initially.

157
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Now that Ones have Last is up and can sustain itself,

158
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: what's been the biggest shift in your mindset? As you

159
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: transition from ones of us being a side hustle to

160
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: being the full time gig.

161
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: I think that would have to be the imposter syndrome.

162
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: I'm slowly letting that go. I had an event at

163
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: the Mind, Body Spirit Festival over the weekend, and it

164
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: was so amazing to see women coming up to me

165
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: and asking me questions of being interested in the products

166
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: or the healing benefits of the crystals. So that was

167
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: kind of like it really put me at ease to say, okay,

168
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 2: like people are interested like this, this is working, this

169
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: is a great idea, And I think every time I

170
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: speak to somebody, it's like that little imposter syndrome just

171
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: kind of slowly slips.

172
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: Away, just a little bit at a time. So you

173
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: won third place in the Uber Business Booster Program. It's

174
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: a big milestone being a part of it. There's you know,

175
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,599
Speaker 1: you learn a lot twalk with different people. What was

176
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: the most eye opening things that you learned from being

177
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: a part of the Uber Business Booster Program.

178
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: There was a few subjects that I really liked. One

179
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: was marketing. Because I'm not the creative person. I had

180
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: no idea about marketing, so that was a huge eye opener.

181
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: The other one was the importance of networking. I think

182
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: that we don't realize how much networking can actually help.

183
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: And in the process of doing that, I learned some

184
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: amazing people who are running their own business that I

185
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: can actually grow and learn with as well. And I

186
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: think that's really important because most of your friends and family, like,

187
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: they haven't done this. They don't know the other side

188
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: of running a business or an e commerce side or

189
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: that end. So that's been really great for me.

190
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: And when you're beginning entrepreneur, you know you're learning as

191
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: you go. Besides the Uber Business Booster program, what kind

192
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: of other support systems have been really important to you

193
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: as you build this business.

194
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: I also was given a mental flights from the Business

195
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: Booster program, which is really amazing. They paid me with

196
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: Jemima Ashley, who was all about women in business and

197
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: getting your voice out there. So I think I've learned

198
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: a lot from her and really gaining the confidence in

199
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: talking to me because I'm an introt so doing that

200
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 2: was I think really amazing. And I think just having

201
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: people in your portle like that they can give you that,

202
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 2: you know, kick up the bar. I'm like, you know,

203
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: you've got this, I think is really important.

204
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: The way that I've worked. Honestly, it took someone to

205
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: essentially just tap me on the shoulder and go boom

206
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: and there you are. Now you can write a show.

207
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: Because before that I thought, I know people other people

208
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: write shows. I don't write shows. And they just literally

209
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: tap me on the shoulder and went your a show, right,

210
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: it go okay? And I just sat down and started writing.

211
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I guess I am. But I

212
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: needed to give myself and since I've become a lot

213
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: better at giving myself per mission. But it does help

214
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: to have someone else kind of bestow this permission upon you,

215
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: doesn't it absolutely?

216
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Even if it's just like you send your idea

217
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: up loud and somebody going yeah, you've got this, and

218
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, okay, yeah I do, I've got this.

219
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: What would you say to other people who are listening

220
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: to this and thinking about starting their own business and

221
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: starting something for themselves.

222
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: I say, absolutely do and I follow you. If you

223
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: have the passion, the motivation will flow. And I think

224
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: that's really important into having a business, is having that

225
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: motivation and the passion for the product. If you don't,

226
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: then you're probably just going to see your bank account

227
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: windle and not have their motivation to keep going.

228
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: What would you say about perhaps, like maybe the idea

229
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: that people might be having is like, oh, I can't

230
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: start this business idea for this product because I don't

231
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: know how to actually get it from my brain into

232
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: an actual prototype, into an actual thing and then send

233
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: it to somebody. But these are all that you can learn,

234
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: aren't they.

235
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely there are so many programs online that you can

236
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 2: join to learn how to get from step A to

237
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 2: step B. I think it's just a matter of finding

238
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: the right one. Like if you go on TikTok and

239
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: you type it in, you're going to find hundreds of

240
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: people who are willing to help. Five of them might

241
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: be actually really beneficial for you. But it's about putting

242
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: the time and research into finding the right people that

243
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: align with what you want and what your grand voice is.

244
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 2: And I think that's I think that's one of the

245
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: biggest learning cades that I've had, Like I've spent so

246
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: much money on people that don't align with me, and

247
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: it's just it's been financially beneficial for them. And that's

248
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: an interesting one because you can't trust everybody out there.

249
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: This is true. But just because you don't know how

250
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: to take your business idea to fruition doesn't mean you

251
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: should not try. And you can't figure it out. Anyone

252
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: can figure it out.

253
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: Anybody could beg it out. It is so easy. There's

254
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: so much information out there on the internet. There's videos,

255
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: there's everything, and there's groups as well. There's so many

256
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: female based groups supporting each other in business and I

257
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: love that. I love them, especially considering them all about

258
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: empowering women. These groups are great. So there's so many

259
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: people there to help you. You can do it. Anybody

260
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: can do it.

261
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: When you're having a difficult day, when there's you know,

262
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: good problems, too many orders, not enough time, what's the

263
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: thing that keeps you going? What's the why that helps

264
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: you get through that day?

265
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: I think the why is really remembering my story and

266
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: why I started this, and that's the why that keeps

267
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: me going.

268
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: And do you hear that reflected in the feedback from

269
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: your customers?

270
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: Oh? I love feedback. I love so I have a

271
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 2: chat on my website and it comes straight to me

272
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: it's not at what And I love when women come

273
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: and they're like, oh my god, Julie, I tried this

274
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: product or this happened, and like you know, hearing about

275
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: women how they have this outlet when they start using

276
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: the crystals and how it changed their life or how

277
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 2: it's helped them heal is like the absolute best, best thing,

278
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 2: best thing.

279
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,720
