1 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: Hi guys, and welcome to a another new episode of 2 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: Couch Talks on You Need Therapy Podcast. My name is 3 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: Kat and I am the host. Quick reminder before we 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: get into today's episode that although this podcast is called 5 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: You Need Therapy, this does not actually serve as a 6 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: replacement or substitute for any mental health services. However, it 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: definitely can be helpful in whatever journey you're on now. Usually, 8 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: couch Talks is the episode where I answer questions that 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: you guys send into Catherine at You Need Therapy podcast 10 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: dot com. However, today and the spirit of the holiday season, 11 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: I decided to spice things up a little bit and 12 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: do a little fun gift guide. And part of my 13 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: motivation behind this is because I don't know how y'all 14 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: go about giving gifts, but I am some one who 15 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: can stress myself out when it comes to purchasing gifts 16 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: for anyone. Because I I do this to myself put 17 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on finding the perfect thing that 18 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: someone would want, or the perfect thing that would help 19 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: somebody in whatever stage of life they're going through, or 20 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: just something that would like touch somebody and be meaningful. 21 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 1: I I put that pressure on myself and so often 22 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: what I do is I run across these things and 23 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, that would be a good gift, or 24 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: that would be a good gift, or that would be 25 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: a good idea. But I don't need to buy anything 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: right then. Now. Sometimes I'll just buy some stuff to 27 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: have on stock. I love to have a little gift 28 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: basket drawer in case I need something in a in 29 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: a pinch, but a lot of times I don't, and 30 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: then I forget about what that thing was. So I 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: started making a list and writing down ideas. So then 32 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: when it came time to buy something for somebody, whether 33 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: it's a birthday, Christmas, somebody's going through something and I 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: just want to cheer them up or congratulatory gift, I 35 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: just go to my list and I'm like, this would 36 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: be cool. Get on the internet, or go to a store, 37 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: and there you have it. So I'm giving you guys 38 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: a gift this year, and I'm sharing ten of the 39 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: things on my list with you guys, so you don't 40 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: find yourself in that same predicament of I need to 41 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: get a gift and there's so much pressure to get 42 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: a good gift and I don't know what to get. 43 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: So also before we get into everything. In the show notes, 44 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: I've linked all the websites and a description of each 45 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: item next to it, so you can remember what was 46 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: what was it called? Um. You have to listen to 47 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: the whole episode again, although listen to it as many 48 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: times as you would like in case you guys want 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: to check any of that out. And I think it 50 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: is worth saying that I don't get paid and I'm 51 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: not endorsed to UM sell any of the stuff to you, 52 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: So this is really stuff that I think is cool. 53 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: And then I have found UM a lot of this 54 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: stuff I have myself or I've bought before, so you're 55 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: getting like actual, real recommendations versus you know, I get 56 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: a percentage of everything you buy, which honestly that would 57 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: be kind of cool, but I don't. And a lot 58 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: of these gifts they give back, and so I'd rather 59 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: than be giving back to the organizations that they support 60 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: than giving back to me, you know. So in the 61 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: spirit of giving, let's get into it with number one. 62 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: I put this as number one. I want to start 63 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: with this because I have been shopping at this place 64 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: for years, UM, and I'm talking about able. It used 65 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: to be called fashionable now it's called Able, and I 66 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: think I got my first bag from them in two 67 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: thousand sixteen, So what is that for six? Six or 68 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: seven years depending on when. It wasn't that year that I, I, 69 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: UM got my bag, but yeah, and I've been buying 70 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: stuff often since then. And I really like this place 71 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: because one, the products that they create are amazing, but 72 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: they also are a mission based company, and so their 73 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: mission is to create go to wardrobe pieces that empower 74 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: women who wear them and the women who make them. 75 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: They have a really cool story about how they even 76 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: aimed to be and how they've actually transformed into what 77 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: they are now. But the company started by selling scarves 78 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: that were um handwoven by women in Ethiopia who were 79 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: coming out of the commercial sex industry. And at that 80 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: point Able's mission and goal was to provide these sustainable 81 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: jobs for these women so they can create a better 82 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: future for themselves. So it turns out they sold four 83 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: thousand scarves in two months, and they had a living 84 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: proof picture that how you spend your money in and 85 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: where you shop can make a big difference in people's lives. 86 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: And so now they I don't even know if they 87 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: sell scarves anymore. I am all about them for their 88 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: leather goods, their bags, their wallets, all that. In their jewelry. 89 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: They have really fun, awesome, high quality jewelry. They also 90 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: sell shoes and they sell clothing. So it's a very 91 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: cool company that creates and sustains jobs for women here 92 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: and in other countries. And also too really cool thing 93 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: is about them one they have rolled out this body 94 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: inclusivity roadmap to more inclusive sizing, and what I love 95 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: about them is that they're so transparent with everything. So 96 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: they say in their mission that their goal is to 97 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: empower women, but I think they found an issue with 98 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 1: we're trying to empower women, but a lot of people 99 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: I feel like they can't shop here, and so we 100 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: don't want that to be the case. So they have 101 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: rolled out this map you can look at it on 102 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: their website that talks about how they're going to bring 103 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: more sizes, the timing of that, and what their goals 104 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: are with that as well, and it's really cool. Again, 105 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: very transparent, they're open, they're honest. They will open up 106 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: to the things that they have done that weren't the 107 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: best in their past, like this, and they will do 108 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: something to make it better. And I love that they 109 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: also are all about transparent pay, you know, about the 110 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: wages that they pay their their um workers and their employees, 111 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: and that is really cool because a lot of times 112 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: you're buying things and you think that you're doing something 113 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: that's awesome and really good, but you're buying something from 114 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: somebody who's working a job that doesn't even allow them 115 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: to afford basic needs. So I love this company. Cannot 116 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: say enough good things about them. You can find their 117 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: stuff a lot of times in different kinds of boutiques. 118 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: The flagship store is literally like five miles from my house, 119 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: so I'm a little lucky in that regard. But you 120 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: can shop online, so that is amazing. I'm linking the 121 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: website in the show notes. You can just click on 122 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: that and go there if you are wondering what do 123 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 1: I biy from here? And there's so many options. Well, 124 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: I want to recommend first their jewelry. There's a lot 125 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: of stuff that you can actually customize and I I 126 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: actually bought three bracelets for people on my Christmas list 127 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: this year, and I wrote these sayings that were meaningful 128 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: um to them individually, so I did that. I've gotten 129 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: stuff for like my sister that has said certain things, 130 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: or my mom and so that's really fun because you 131 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: can get stamped jewelry in and put whatever you want 132 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: on there, and also go to for their leather products. 133 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: All their toebags are amazing. I have their backpack. It's 134 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: a amazing I take it everywhere I go if you 135 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: want something that is a little smaller for a gift. 136 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: They have awesome wallets and really cute wristlets that make 137 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: good gifts, and like, who doesn't love a good wristlet? 138 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: So that is number one, number two. So this is 139 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: literally one of my all time favorite happies to give people. 140 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: And I give this to people randomly. I give it 141 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: to them as gifts. I gave them one year as 142 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: like my little networking gifts that I would send to 143 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: like people in my mental health therapy community. And I 144 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: guess I haven't even mentioned what I'm talking about, and 145 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: that is affirmators. And these are affirmation cards that were 146 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: created by a comedian named Susie Barrett and they are 147 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: said to provide the fun of a horoscope with a 148 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: little less woo, which I love because I love the 149 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: fun of a horoscope. But sometimes I'm like I don't 150 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: know about that, although I probably just I'm not giving 151 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: that stuff a chance. But that's a whole another conversation. Now, 152 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: these are literally a box of affirmation cards, and they 153 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: are really cute and sweet and they're also funny, and 154 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: they're just like fun to have around. I keep them 155 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: in my office waiting room, and I have some at 156 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: my house and sometimes I'll just have clients pull a 157 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: card before a session. And actually, I'm going to pull 158 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: a card right now just to give you like an 159 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: example of what I'm talking about. Okay, So I just 160 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: pulled a card randomly and I got the power card, 161 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: and it says, I am strong, I am grounded, I 162 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: am powerful. I am like a cross between a dinosaur 163 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: and a tank, but not a tank that is used 164 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: for war. I am like a peaceful, loving dino tank 165 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: who feels so strong it doesn't need to do anything 166 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: but be see. So it's like sweet and like actually, 167 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I I love that and I can 168 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: actually relate to that today. I'm strong, I'm grounded, I'm powerful, 169 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: and I'm so strong I don't have to do anything 170 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: except just be myself.

I want to read 172 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: one more just for fun, to give you guys another idea. 173 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: I just pulled self love. I openly embrace a feeling 174 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: of self love, the PG kind. I love myself because 175 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: I understand myself. I love myself as the most committed 176 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: partner I will ever have. I show myself love anyway 177 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: that I can, and when I screw up, I remember 178 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: to be sweet and gentle with myself. If not, I'm 179 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: going to make myself sleep on the couch. Got that self. 180 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: So they're cute and I love them so great gift. 181 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: They're all actually pretty inexpensive. You can get them like 182 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: fourteen dollars on Amazon, and again I will link those now. 183 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: Number three so I can't say this name of this 184 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: whole thing on the podcast because you know, I don't 185 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: know who's listening. But it is a meditation book that 186 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: is called fill in the blank with a bad word 187 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: first meditation, and I love this book. It is so great. 188 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: It's written by Jason Heatley. I think it's his name. 189 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: H G. A. D Ellie Y and I have more 190 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: than one copy of this as well. I have one 191 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: in my office than one at my house. And I 192 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: was gifted this book first the way I found out 193 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: about it on my twenty birthday by two of my 194 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: best friends. And it's a meditation book, but with some 195 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: fun It's like a realistic meditation for those of you 196 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: who are just like in a space where I don't 197 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: want to meditate, or I'm just like frustrated, or I 198 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: just want to laugh. And I, personally, in my personal 199 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: life tend to, you know, curse a lot, and I 200 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: like therapy, and I like the things that come with therapy, 201 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: like meditation, but I like to say these words as well. 202 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: So it's just funny for the person who likes to 203 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: be serious and likes to do some introspective likes to meditate, 204 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: but also likes to keep it real at the same time. 205 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: And this was the perfect gift when I got it, 206 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: because I mean, I cried when I got this, And 207 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: I used to say I don't cry a lot, but 208 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: I keep crying more lately, so I guess I can't 209 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: say that anymore. But this was the perfect thoughtful gift 210 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: for the space that I was in because I was 211 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: going through something that was really tough, and I was 212 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: trying to work on myself and pull myself out of 213 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: this kind of pit, so it was helpful and also 214 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: it brought a really big smile to my face as well. 215 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: So hopefully you can do that with somebody in your 216 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: life as well. So I will again put the link 217 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: to that meditation book. Okay, so number four is another book. 218 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: It is actually a workbook written by Mega Divine, who 219 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: is the author of It's Okay that You're Not Okay, 220 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: and she is the host of Hereafter, which is another 221 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: podcast on UM the Amy Brown Network, and the workbook 222 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: is called how to Carry What Can't Be Fixed. And 223 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: I'm just going to read what it says on the 224 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: website about this because I think it's perfectly says it all. 225 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: This journal contains no cliches, timetables, or checklists of stages 226 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: to get through. It won't just help you move on 227 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: or put your loss behind you. Instead, you will find encouragement, 228 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: self care exercises, and daily tools to help you manage 229 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: and explore your grief. So if you have somebody on 230 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: your list who is going through a tough time, who 231 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: is in the midst of some grief, and you don't 232 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: know what to get them, this is such a good 233 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: gift because it's going to help them help themselves is 234 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: also going to help you help them. And I think 235 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: a lot of times we want to like not touch 236 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: that stuff and we want to just avoid it or 237 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: ignore it or give somebody something when they're going through 238 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: groop to cheer them up, rather than give something that 239 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: can actually be really useful and meaningful in this time 240 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: in their lives. So highly recommend that. Also, if you 241 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: haven't listened to our podcast, go and do that as well. 242 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: Number five this is just an idea rather than an 243 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: actual product. But any personalized watercolor painting. So last year 244 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: I gave my mom a watercolor painting of the house 245 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: that she grew up in and the house that I 246 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: always knew as my grandparents house. And not last January, 247 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: but the January before that, my grandmother had passed away, 248 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: and so um we had to clean out my grandma's house. 249 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: My mom had to put the house up for cell 250 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: and it was a really important house for her. And 251 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: also I have so many good memory of that house 252 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: as well. And so what I did is I found 253 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: somebody on Etsy and artists looked at some other work. 254 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: It took me a while to pick the person. So 255 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to actually share who I used. I just 256 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: sent in the picture that I wanted her to paint, 257 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: and literally within two weeks she sent it back. I 258 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: framed it que the water Works from my mom. And 259 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: this is a really cool gift that you can do 260 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways. It doesn't just have 261 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 1: to be a house. That can be a watercolor of 262 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: a pet, or just a place that you have visited, 263 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: or even a person. But it's just a really beautiful 264 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: way to capture something that is really important to somebody 265 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: and show them that you're paying attention to what's going 266 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: on in their lives and what's important to them. So 267 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to link the actual shop that I bought 268 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: my piece through. The person's user name or storefront is 269 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: called art by Cheryl s h a r y L. 270 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: And then I'll link her store as well. And number 271 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: six this is another idea, and this is the cheapest 272 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: gift I think that you can probably find on here. 273 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: And it is a propagated plant. So again bringing up 274 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: when my grandmother passed away and we cleaned out her house, 275 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: she had some plants there and plants that she had 276 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: kept alive and watered and had for years. And what 277 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: I did was cut part of the plant off, let 278 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: it grow a route, and then replanted it in a 279 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: pot and gifted that to my mom as well. I 280 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: think I gave her to that for Mother's Day or 281 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: maybe her birthday, and it was like giving her a 282 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: piece of my grandma's home, which was really cool, an 283 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: unexpected gift and one that can continue to give and 284 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: give and give. We actually cut pieces off of that 285 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: plant that I gave to my mom. Um, me and 286 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: my sister did, and then we grew our own and 287 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: now I have I actually split mine again, so I 288 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: have two of those in my office, and then my 289 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: sister has one as well. And that is just an 290 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: unexpected gift as well, especially if it comes from a 291 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: place or a person in that you really love or appreciator. 292 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: Maybe you have been grieving somebody and you can do 293 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: that same thing if they happen to have plants. It's 294 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: also a really cool, like sustainable gift. I don't know 295 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: if that's the right word for it, but it's something 296 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: that doesn't cost a lot, and it's actually creating more 297 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: goodness in the world. Right rather than just going and 298 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: buying stuff, I'm creating more of this goodness out of 299 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: things I already have. It's like recycling, but in a 300 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: really cool way. All you have to buy is some 301 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: soil and a pot and you can get those pretty 302 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: cheap at Walmart or Target or Lose. And you can 303 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: just google propagation plants. You can google, because I don't 304 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: have a link here for you for this Google propagation. 305 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: You can google what plants are the easiest, like how 306 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: to but it's really simple. You just have to cut 307 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: the plant by the little like I don't know what 308 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: to call it, but like the knob or like nub 309 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: of the I don't really know what to call it. 310 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: It's like the elbow of the plant where another root 311 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: can grow out, and then you put that in some 312 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: water let it grow. The route takes about one of 313 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: two weeks and then you replant to number seven. Okay, 314 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how to say this name, but I'm 315 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: obsessed with this company. Now it's spelled m U s E. 316 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: I guess muci muse either. We're gonna go with one 317 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: of those.

They have a couple of partnerships, two of 330 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: them stuck out to me. One they partner with an 331 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: organization called Crossroads, and Crossroads is a organization that aims 332 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: to help women kind of piece their lives back together 333 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: after spending time in prison or treatment centers or after 334 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: exiting in in finding freedom from abusive situations. So really 335 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: cool place provides safe, positive environments for people and then 336 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: encouraging and helping them get back on their feet, so 337 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: they partner with them.

So 341 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: when you're buying products from this company, you are not 342 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: only helping women get back on their feet and take 343 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: ownership of their lives and create sustainable lives and futures 344 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: for themselves. You're also helping kids that you won't ever meet, 345 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: but you get to impact in Haiti. Well, you might 346 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: meet them, but I don't know most I assume most 347 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: of you guys won't go to Haiti and meet these 348 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: kids in the school. But it's really cool and I 349 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: just love how a lot of these places and things 350 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: that I'm talking about, you are buying something that's going 351 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: to bring you joy and at the same time, you're 352 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: bringing joy to somebody else. Super super easy. Number eight 353 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: the Nashville Blanket Project. So I love this place. I 354 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: found them at a flea market one time in Nashville, 355 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, that's a cool blanket. And 356 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: then I found out that every time you buy a blanket, 357 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: they give a blanket to somebody in need in the community, 358 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: and so I'm obsessed with that, especially in this time 359 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: of year where it's cold and there isn't always shelter 360 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: for everybody. That needs it when it comes to those 361 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: who are struggling with homelessness. And this is such a 362 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: cool idea. Sell a blanket, give a blanket. I mean, 363 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: I wish I could buy a million blankets, but I can't. 364 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: But you guys could buy blankets and then tell people 365 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: about this place, and then they could buy blankets, and 366 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: then we could sell a million blankets. And I have 367 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: their classic blanket and it is made with all recycled materials, 368 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: which is also very cool, and it's just really cool. 369 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: They have some really fun colors. And if you were 370 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: to receive a gift like this again, with all of 371 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: these gifts, I just think it's really cool to get 372 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: something and while somebody bought you a gift, they're really 373 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: giving a gift to somebody else that actually might need 374 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: the gift more than you. And so how cool is 375 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: it to be able to help somebody else while receiving something, right, 376 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a cool concept. If somebody is going 377 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: to buy me a Birthday present or Christmas present, I 378 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: would actually prefer it to help more than just me 379 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: if I could make that happen. So this is something 380 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: that actually does that. So Nashural Blanket Project if you 381 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: don't live in Naturville, you can also again still buy them. 382 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: They have a website that I will link, so that 383 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: is eight now number nine, How can we not put 384 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: this on there? It is the four Things Gratitude Journal 385 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: and the I'm Fine Puzzle from the Shop Forward. And 386 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: if you are not familiar with that, if you listen 387 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: to the four Things podcast asked with Amy Brown, you 388 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: probably do definitely know what I'm talking about. But if 389 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: you don't, the Shop Forward is a company that sells 390 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: things and also gives back to individual organizations at the 391 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: same time with every purchase. And these two specific items 392 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: that I named, the Four Things Gratitude Journal and I'm 393 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: Fine Puzzle both give back to organizations in Haiti through 394 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: the shop spa portion of the website. And not only 395 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: do these help organizations in Haiti, they also are going 396 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: to help the people that receive them. The Four Things 397 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: Gratitude Journal, I mean, we all need one of those. 398 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: It's a really cute journal that has stickers in it 399 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: and quotes and and fun stuff for anybody who either 400 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: has going through a hard time and needs maybe a 401 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: little bit help looking at maybe the small things that 402 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: might equal the big things. In their life, or just 403 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: somebody who wants to just start cultivating more gratitude in 404 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: their lives, because the people with the most gratitude are 405 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: the people that pay attention to their gratitude. And then 406 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm fine, it's fine, everything's fine. Puzzle is one who 407 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: doesn't love a puzzle, but to a fun message to 408 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: kind of not invalidate, but make light of the situation 409 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,239 Speaker 1: that life is hard sometimes and we can laugh our 410 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: way through it. So two really great gifts that I 411 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: combined for number nine, and then we have finally number ten, 412 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: and I thought I would round this out with a 413 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: gift for a child, because I don't know that I 414 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: have had a specific gift for a child yet, because 415 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: children are important and we have to buy gifts for 416 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: them a lot. And I recently discovered this company called 417 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: Cuddle and Kind and it is a company started by 418 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: a family of five that's mission is to help provide 419 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: meals for children in need. And they sell these adorable 420 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: hand knit dolls and their hand wit knit by women 421 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: in Peru and a Paul. They're so cute. They have 422 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: all different kinds, all different kinds of animals, and they 423 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: each have names. Honestly, this doll is making me want 424 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: to actually design a baby nursery. And I'm not even 425 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: playing on having a child, but they're that cute. They 426 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: just you know, inspire that part of my brain. But 427 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: these dolls, when you purchase one, you are giving ten 428 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: meals to a child and need, and I think that 429 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: is incredible. And at the same time you are helping 430 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: sustain jobs for women in Peruin and Paul who are 431 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: actually hand knitting these adorable How many times can I 432 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: say adorable dolls? So wonderful organization, wonderful products. Great way 433 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: to end this little list. So, as always, I hope 434 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: that this was helpful and may be helpful in a 435 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: different way this time around.
