WEBVTT - Let's STOP THE INSANITY...with Susan Powter

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>This is let's be clear with Shannon Dherny. Well, let's

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:09.719
<v Speaker 1>be clear about a couple of things.

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Number one, Shannon and the nineties and stop the Insanity.

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:16.480
<v Speaker 2>I am Susan Powder, otherwise known as Stop the Stop

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the Insanity, Lady of the nineties, Fitness nineties and nine

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>oh two one oh. So it's such a pleasure, such

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 2>a pleasure to be here, and let's be clear. And

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot I would like to be clear about.

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>So I was thinking last night. I was thinking last

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 2>night about obviously doing this podcast, and I was thinking

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 2>about Shannon. I was thinking about the experience she shared, good, bad,

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 2>or indifferent, the sharing of it and what used to

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 2>be known as storytelling is now a very different thing.

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>I know that because what stopped the insanity was, and

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 2>for those who don't know it was, it was the

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 2>nineties of wellness and eat, breathe, move and think and

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, lean strong and healthy and crazy woman with

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>short white hair that did not exist anywhere else, screaming

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>on TV and blah blah blah. But what stopped the

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 2>insanity was it was storytelling. And what used to be

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>storytelling is now information sharing. And that's what Shannon did

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>for years and years, through a horrifying battle and a

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>brave battle. She shared an experience that nobody really I mean,

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, the last thing you want to share.

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Probably is HI, I have cancer.

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>But that sharing of the experience, I know, changed thousands

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 2>and thousands and thousands of lives, made millions of people

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 2>aware of things you may not have thought about. Stop

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>the insanity literally started, and it was massive. It started

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 2>by me sharing my experience. I just talked about an

0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 2>experience of being single mother in Garland, Texas in the eighties.

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Stop the insanity. It was the nineties. I would like

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 2>to just make that clear. The eighties was when I

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>woke up one day with two babies a year apart,

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and then we call him the Prince Forever, decided.

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>He was an into marriage anymore and left.

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 2>So going through a divorce, single mom a year apart,

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>my children were and I woke up one day and

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 2>there I was at way over two hundred pounds, not

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 2>liking the way I looked or felt at all. I

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>did not like the way I looked and felt. I

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't like the energy I didn't have. I didn't like

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the disconnection from my body. I changed the way I

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 2>looked and felt. I lost well over one hundred pounds.

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.519
<v Speaker 2>I got strong, I built lean, muscle mass, I built

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>cardio durance. How I did that is the story and

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>was the story of Stop the Insanity. But the reason

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 2>it became anything was because I spoke with other women,

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 2>literally in the supermarket I would be the supermarket. Piggly

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Wiggly was the supermarket in Garland, Texas in the eighties.

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it may still exist. I don't know. I

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know.

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>I had never heard of a supermarket called Piggly Wiggly,

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>but that's where I shopped with my two babies, and

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 2>women would say, like passing babies.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>We had babies, you know.

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I had a one and a two year old sitting

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>in the cart, and they would say, oh, you look

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 2>so good. You just had And I would say, no, no, no,

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>you don't understand I was. I'm telling I was two

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 2>hours and sixty pounds. And all I did was change

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 2>the way I eat, and I changed movement, and I

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>added oxygen to my life. And women would gather in

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>the aisles of the grocery store. There was no TV,

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 2>there was no seven books, there was no nine Platinum videos.

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 2>There was no Simon and Schuster, Time Warner, every television,

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>there was none of that.

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>There was none of that.

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Everything that Stopped the Insanity was was based on sharing

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>my experience of a single mother going through a divorce

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>in the early eighties in Texas.

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>And while you're.

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Doing that, trying to reconnect again with my body, it

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 2>is the women that blew that whole thing up, and

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>they understood a message.

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>The message that is simple.

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's no physiology degree, there's no there's no anything.

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 2>I heard a few things that dramatically changed my life.

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 1>We didn't have the internet.

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Then everybody listening knows that, like you don't have to

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 2>be past. I have three sons, the two boys that

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 2>everyone in Stop the Insanity grew up with, and they

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 2>know the prince is and was the ex husband. And

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>what people don't know years later is I adopted a

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 2>baby at forty so I have forty two, forty one,

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 2>and a twenty seven year old. And that twenty seven

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>year old knows absolutely nothing about Stop the Insanity had

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.359
<v Speaker 2>nothing to do with it. Like years and years and

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>years later, but when I heard, I heard basic things.

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 2>We didn't have the Internet, and I say, to my

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven year old all the time time. You have

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 2>no idea what it took to get information. And it

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 2>wasn't that long ago, you know. You know, if you're

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I would say now, I don't know whatever, younger than

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 2>forty otherwise you know what I mean when I said

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 2>to get information back then, to go and find the

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 2>books that explained, like how do I lose all this way?

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 2>How do I lose so much weight? How do I

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 2>feel strong again? How do I change my body back

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 2>to anything I recognize?

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.919
<v Speaker 1>I want to look and feel different.

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>I heard a couple of facts that change my life forever,

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 2>just like I'm sure all of you who are loyal listeners,

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean loyal listeners and care ver enough about this

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>podcast that it's still going strong, which is kind of

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 2>thrilling and bravo Shannon. I mean for real, you know,

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to get information then wasn't as easy as here on

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the phone. I heard a few facts at two hundred

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.119
<v Speaker 2>and sixty pounds that changed my life. I'm sixty seven,

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 2>so I was. I don't know how old I was

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty something? You know, who knows when I had the

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 2>first two? You forget after a while, take it from me.

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I heard that.

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Lean muscle mass was metabolically the most active tissue in

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.600
<v Speaker 2>the human body. Now where I heard that was from

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 2>a bodybuilding book that I was reading in Garland, Texas,

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.599
<v Speaker 2>and I thought at two hundred and sixty pounds, I thought, well,

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I could use some active tissue internally, didn't know what

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 2>it meant, didn't know how to do it, had no

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 2>idea what. I also heard that fat burns in oxygen,

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.040
<v Speaker 2>and the only way to get oxygen into your body

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>is to move in it for thirty minutes or more

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 2>in oxygen.

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I heard those two facts a thousand years ago. I

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 2>had nobody to share it with, to say the least,

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>but it ended up being shared with millions of people

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 2>all over the world. That's my point exactly, with experience sharing,

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 2>which we can do here, we can do it so

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.919
<v Speaker 2>much more easily now, and we can continue to do

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.720
<v Speaker 2>with women like Shannon, who built a platform that gives

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>us the privilege of continuing to do it. So that's

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 2>why I'm grateful to be asked to do this. It

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>was sharing the information. I had to find it, you know,

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>much more difficult ways. But once I heard heard just

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>those two facts, I applied them. I didn't have childcare,

0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have any money. I was a single mother Garnland, Texas.

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Enough said, babies a year apart, two ten pounds babies

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>a year apart. Every mother, grandmother about to be a

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 2>mother listening understands exactly what I'm saying right now. And

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 2>women now are having these babies like you know, one

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>after the other after the I know how difficult that is.

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Back in the day, I didn't have childcare, I didn't

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 2>have a babysitter, I didn't have I didn't have anything.

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 2>And I did not like the way I looked and felt.

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 2>So what I did was I put my babies under

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 2>a tree in the front yard, literally, and I walked

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 2>back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:10.559
<v Speaker 2>and forth.

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't go.

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Further than a quarter of a block, obviously, because every

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 2>time one crawled, I would go, and here's your little toy,

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to be doing there, and here it is,

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 2>go ahead, God put there.

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I just went back and forth, back and forth, back

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and forth.

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 2>And I did that for thirty minutes every single day,

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 2>for seven days a week. I did it every day.

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even know what I was doing. I didn't

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 2>know what I was doing. I just knew that fat

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 2>burns in oxygen. I had a ton of fat on

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 2>my body that I didn't want to have. I wanted

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 2>to get leaner. I wanted to feel stronger. I wanted

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>to be reconnected to my body. I wanted to wake

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>up with energy. And what was frightening, really frightening to me,

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 2>is I would I would say, I would say, I

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>start two thirty coming, and you know you have to

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 2>babies a year apart you gain weight, You're breastfeeding two babies.

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I get it.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Then months go by and all of a sudden, it's

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 2>like to ten to thirty to fifty, And I just thought,

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 2>what's next? I mean, it just keeps going up. I

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>have to I have to reverse it, and I have

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 2>to change it. So I heard two facts that changed

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.839
<v Speaker 2>my life forever. That burns in oxygen and lean Muscle

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>mass is metabolically the most active tissue in the human body. Well,

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I could use some activity internally, didn't want it. Didn't

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 2>even think I don't want to be a bodybuilder. I

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 2>even remember the book Corey. I can see her in

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 2>my mind's eye. I remember the book that I got.

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.440
<v Speaker 2>There was no female bodybuilders talking about anything, but it

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 2>was a book by Corey and I will.

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Find her and acknowledge her.

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 2>And she explained what lean muscle mass was metabolically the

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>most active tissue in the human body. So I started

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 2>biceps tricep, building a little bit of lean muscle mass

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 2>and walking back.

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:56.959
<v Speaker 1>And forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I knew, just like you, I know, just like everyone knows.

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>America is the most documented country in the world. If

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>you want to know any fact or figure, you can

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.199
<v Speaker 2>find out. It does not change behavior at all. That's

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>why knowledge is not power, actually unless you know how

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to apply it to your daily life to get you

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.079
<v Speaker 2>the end results you want.

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>But you know the foods that aren't I know.

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 2>I changed what I started putting in. I found out

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 2>another fact. I found out that there are two things

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 2>that slow down your metabolic rate if you live in

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>a human body. This is for anybody who lives in

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 2>a human body. I found out that two things slow

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 2>down your metabolic rate. One is lack of movement and

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 2>the other one is lack of fuel dieting. So when

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 2>you're dieting and not exercising, dieting to lose weight, you

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 2>are greatly affecting your metabolic rate, whether you have a

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 2>slow or a fast one. And if you've been told

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 2>that you were born with a slow metabolism for your

0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>whole life, I just have a question to your doctor.

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Follow it up with, but there are two things you

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 2>can do to greatly increase your metabolic rate. That would

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 2>be eating on a regular basis, Fueling on a regular basis,

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 2>because food is fuel and activity that activates internally your

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 2>metabolic right. Okay, So I started finding out these little

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 2>facts that I started applying, having no idea, having no idea.

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Never once, never once did I ever say, well, I'm

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 2>going to write a New York Times bestseller, let alone

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:35.120
<v Speaker 2>three of them. I never once it never crossed my mind,

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 2>never crossed my mind. Never once did I say I'm

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 2>going to do videos with Time Warner. What happened, And

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 2>this is the reason I'm explaining it a for a

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of people who may have no idea what stuffisanity

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>is be for everyone who does remember and has never

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>heard the story of how it happened. I can tell

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>you how it happened. Is I started talking to other

0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 2>women about my shared experience. I'm exhausted. I have two

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 2>kids a year apart. I don't like the way I

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 2>got so much fat on me. I don't know what

0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 2>to do on the size, you know, eighteen, like I've

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 2>never in my life.

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel great. I don't like the way I look.

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 2>And it's hard and I hate him, and divorce is

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 2>hard and I'm going to be broke because I just

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 2>started talking to other women and it was the sharing

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:22.679
<v Speaker 2>of the experience.

0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Does it matter what the experience it is is that we.

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Never had a way to say, you know, I feel

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 2>the same way, Like that's exactly how I feel. And

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 2>that's why when I think of Shannon, and when I

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 2>think of millions of women who are going through whatever

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>it is and simply tell the truth about the fear

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 2>and the joy and the sadness and the revelations along

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:49.559
<v Speaker 2>the way.

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>It's such a privilege. It's such a privilege.

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 2>And I know what it can do when you no

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 2>matter what it is, and now you can do it

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.959
<v Speaker 2>so easily, it's like ridiculous compared to what we had

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 2>to go through. You have no idea how powerful it is.

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:10.559
<v Speaker 2>You have no idea how powerful it is, or who

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>is going to hear what they need to hear and

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 2>how it can change their lives. When I think of

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 2>stop the Unstanding, I think of a lot of things.

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>I just wrote a memoir, which you know I'll do

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 2>an Amazon whatever, And I wrote it because a nobody

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.959
<v Speaker 2>knows about the story of how it happened, and nobody

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.960
<v Speaker 2>knows what has happened since. And I can promise you

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 2>it's a hell of a story. The reason I told

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 2>the story of it is because what it always meant

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 2>to me. Because no corporation wanted me. They were not interested.

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Nobody jumped on it. Nobody thought it was going to

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.080
<v Speaker 2>be successful. I did an infomercial. They didn't even care

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>what I wore. They didn't It was a five camera

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 2>shoot with thirty five hundred women. Those women in that audience.

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I have so many stories to tell, but let me

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 2>just stick with the one I'm talking about now.

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's storytelling.

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I think it's sharing experiences and you just have no

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 2>idea who it affects. I didn't know then what it

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>was going to blow up to be, just as far

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 2>as a career and amazing experiences and doing incredible work

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 2>and meeting hundreds and thousands of unbelievable, unbelievable people at

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 2>every event in seminar. But it really the cell of it,

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the cell of it was me sharing an experience of

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 2>being completely overwhelmed, first of all, about how my body

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 2>had changed. Second, single mother, never expected that. Third, may

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I say it living in Garland, Texas? No thank you,

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 2>no thank you. You know, the eighties, you can add

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 2>a whole bunch of stuff that the isolation of mothering.

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 2>We were not isolated anymore, the isolation of anybody. People

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 2>were not isolated anymore. So you know, when I thought

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 2>of let's be clear and what it means, what immediately

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 2>came to mind was, let's be clear about how lucky

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 2>we are that we can get to each other now

0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 2>so simply, and what all the negative?

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I know what the Internet is. I'm not delusional. I'm not.

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't be more excited about the Internet.

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I kind of sound like I kind of sound like

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 2>an idiot when I talk about I mean, I'm like

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 2>to my son all the time.

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you realize what a privilege he was raised with it?

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 1>He's like, yeah, okay, now I get it. Mom.

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 2>But you know after a while it's a little I

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 2>just think it's an opportunity for all of us. But

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the power, the power that I witnessed personally in my

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 2>life was sharing your true experience, sharing a story, good, bad,

0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 2>or indifferent, and your authentic fears and your authentic joy

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 2>and your authentic experience in that sharing effects more people

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 2>than you could ever ever imagine. I never would have

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 2>known back then a thousand years ago. I mean that

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 2>those two boys now from Garland, Texas, back in the

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 2>day just before Stop the Insanity happened and the reason

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 2>it did, are forty two and forty one now, so

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 2>that many years ago, that impact that it had was

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 2>a woman with two babies in Piggly Wiggly who had

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 2>dramatically changed I dramatically and by.

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>The way, I've forever, forever, forever.

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 2>So I wanted to be lean, strong and healthy for

0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.720
<v Speaker 2>the rest of my life, and I found out that

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 2>it was an incredible I'm not going to say simple,

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 2>because I know what it feels like if you're listening

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 2>and you're not comfortable and not physically where you want

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 2>to be. I know that when someone goes it's really

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:03.360
<v Speaker 2>simple to look it is obnoxiously offensive. I understand that

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 2>what I'm going to tell you is what I said

0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 2>a thousand years ago, because the message has not changed

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 2>one iota, not one iota. If you live in a

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.600
<v Speaker 2>human body, If you live in a human body, your

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.160
<v Speaker 2>body can burn fat, period the end.

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.399
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter what your genetic does. Your body can

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:23.920
<v Speaker 1>burn fat.

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 2>If you live in a human body, your body can

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 2>increase lean muscle mass, which is metabolically the most active

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.640
<v Speaker 2>tissue in the human body, if you live in one.

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you that if you live in a

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 2>human body, you can feed your metabolic rate every day.

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.479
<v Speaker 2>You can feed it. I don't just mean fuel what

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 2>you eat. I'm not even going to get into the

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 2>It is regular fueling on a regular basis.

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Think about this.

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 2>If you have the fireplace and you're going to build

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 2>a fire, but no wood, no wood, you just there's

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:57.359
<v Speaker 2>no wood. You're not going to have a fire. There's

0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 2>not going to be heat. You're not going to have

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 2>a flame. Same thing with barbecuing. But I don't I'm

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 2>not don't call me to your next event and ask

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 2>me to barbecue because you don't want me in charge.

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Of that grill.

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I can promise you that I learned that I can

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 2>feed my metabolism. I learned that I can build the

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>most active tissue in the human body. I learned that

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 2>fat burns in oxygen. I learned that the human body

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.879
<v Speaker 2>can get leaner, stronger, and healthier.

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 1>And I learned that it is far simpler. It is.

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:32.400
<v Speaker 2>It has been ridiculously deliberately complicated by many an industry.

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 2>When I said that back and stop the insanity nineties,

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.800
<v Speaker 2>that's when stopped the insanity was the women. They just

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 2>it was this rally of like, oh my god, I've

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.560
<v Speaker 2>been to every die place they lied And I'm like, yeah, totally,

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I did the same thing they will just and I said,

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 2>you are sure. You should be so pissed off, like

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 2>you're being ripped off, you're being lied to. They don't

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 2>know what the hell they're talking about. And it's much

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 2>simpler than they're making it seem. That would be the

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 2>fitness industry. That would be the diet industry. Don't even

0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:00.760
<v Speaker 2>with the diet. That would be the a That would

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 2>be a whole lot of people, a whole lot of people.

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.440
<v Speaker 2>The facts of the of the if you live in

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:09.159
<v Speaker 2>a human body matter made so much sense to me,

0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.360
<v Speaker 2>and I applied the simple things and have never.

0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Stopped applying them.

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:20.159
<v Speaker 2>So what I would like to be really clear about

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.640
<v Speaker 2>is I am very grateful for the privilege of being

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 2>able to now, in this day and age, reach I mean,

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.439
<v Speaker 2>reach anywhere and everywhere. I'm very, very grateful to the

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:36.880
<v Speaker 2>women who fought the battles, like Shannon, who were courageous

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 2>enough to share the truth, the absolute truth, which I'm

0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 2>sure affected gazillions of people. Gazillions of people. That's incredible power.

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 2>That's a lasting legacy, and I mean, that's just powerful,

0:19:54.880 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 2>powerful reality. So I was thrilled to be asked. You know,

0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad to be able to We had major zoom things.

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know everybody had a zoom thing today apparently,

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.680
<v Speaker 2>so I got to do this on my phone, which

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 2>I think is the most exciting thing on the planet Earth. Again,

0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I sound like it just a crazy person when it

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 2>comes to Hey, do you know about this thing called

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>the Internet? It's amazing, It's amazing. So that's what I

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.680
<v Speaker 2>would like to share. What I would like to share

0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.679
<v Speaker 2>is I don't see it as storytelling. I see it

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 2>as powerful, wonderful, courageous people sharing their experiences, and those

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 2>experiences just there's just a light.

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And I guess I mean it's true.

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Corey writing that book in nineteen whenever the

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 2>hell she wrote it changed my life.

0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 1>When I learned what she had to say.

0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 2>So if you've got something to say, you can now

0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>and if you're authentically saying it, it can be very powerful.

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.200
<v Speaker 2>And I just want to hear more and see more

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and share more. And that's my goal. So thank you

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:09.760
<v Speaker 2>for having me. I appreciate it.
