Speaker 1: Okay, So when you're looking, when you're saying, like you
Speaker 1: found lanterns, held lanterns for you, if someone's in a
Speaker 1: spot right now and they're here in this conversation, they're like, man,
Speaker 1: I am resonating with this. How does someone start looking
Speaker 1: for lanterns in their life? Like, you found these people
Speaker 1: to help guide you, and you kind of connected the
Speaker 1: dots and now you're sharing that information. Obviously you are
Speaker 1: a lantern, but like, how does someone look around their
Speaker 1: own life and realize who are the people to reach
Speaker 1: out to and who should you ask for help and guidance?
Speaker 1: How do you know if someone's meant to be a
Speaker 1: mentor and a guide for you? Like, how did you
Speaker 1: find that? There's just so many different categories for this,
Speaker 1: I mean there it just depends on what it is
Speaker 1: you need. I mean, in every community, whether it is
Speaker 1: in person or it's virtual, there is the possibility of
Speaker 1: therapy of a therapist, of a counselor. That was a
Speaker 1: key lantern for me. My all of my therapy was virtual,
Speaker 1: so my therapist it was during COVID and so there's
Speaker 1: always the possibility of therapy and finding somebody who can
Speaker 1: guide you through your own emotional sort of landscape. It
Speaker 1: can be way more like nerdy and practical than that.
Speaker 1: Like for me, I was in a space where I
Speaker 1: needed so much financial mentorship. I had never run my
Speaker 1: own traps. I don't know how much money I made.
Speaker 1: I did not know if we had a retirement plan.
Speaker 1: I do not know how many bank accounts. We had nothing,
Speaker 1: no swords, no clue. I mean I was in the
Speaker 1: red on knowledge. And so I had these nerdy helpers
Speaker 1: called my local banker, my like CPA, my little bookkeeper,
Speaker 1: like nothing fancy here. These are just like Victoria at
Speaker 1: Chase Bank a half a mile away from my house,
Speaker 1: who I office, I said, in so many hours and
Speaker 1: just went, can you help me work this out? And
Speaker 1: so it depends on what you're looking for. But there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people in our communities who know what
Speaker 1: we don't know. They're good at what we're not good at.
Speaker 1: They have experience and information in the places that to
Speaker 1: us just feel like a quagmire, like this is so confusing.
Speaker 1: It's not confusing to someone someone. And what I discovered
Speaker 1: is most of those people are so willing to help.
Speaker 1: It's what they're good at. It's what they're good at
Speaker 1: and so I think the bigger thing is not where
Speaker 1: do I find them? Because helpers are everywhere. It's more
Speaker 1: are you willing to? Are you willing to raise your
Speaker 1: hand and say I am confused. I do not understand
Speaker 1: interest rates. I do not know how to deal. I
Speaker 1: don't know how to sleep. I can't sleep anymore. I
Speaker 1: don't know how to handle this high blood pressure in
Speaker 1: my body like my doctors were winters, And so are
Speaker 1: you willing to? Are you willing to say? I do
Speaker 1: not have this altogether. I do not understand this space.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do next. I need help.
Speaker 1: I need guidance. I need a teacher, I need instructors.
Speaker 1: I had no pride. Absolutely then there was nobody that
Speaker 1: I would pretend to know something too. I was just like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Please teach me, like, please teach me
Speaker 1: what this means. And they did, and it changed my life.
Speaker 1: That is so huge because I feel like I've hit
Speaker 1: this place in my life where it's like I have tried.
Speaker 1: I've done so many things in my life, but I'm
Speaker 1: hitting an area where I have not It's uncharted, and
Speaker 1: it's like getting to a place where I actually don't
Speaker 1: have a clue, and like people have been asking me
Speaker 1: this lately, like what are your goals? What are your dreams?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't actually have any goals and
Speaker 1: dreams right now, which is so bananas because I have
Speaker 1: been someone who has been so fueled and motivated by
Speaker 1: my goals and dreams my whole life that I've been
Speaker 1: on like a hamster will with them chasing them down.
Speaker 1: But like my whole mentality has been switching about, like
Speaker 1: what is actual happiness and success and what of my God?
Speaker 1: And so but I'm just like I'm just so confused
Speaker 1: on like next steps and what to do? Is That's why,
Speaker 1: like I literally, women like yourself are such incredible guides
Speaker 1: because you have created a life and a business out
Speaker 1: of who you are, but you've been able to share
Speaker 1: that so effectively, and it's so inspiring to see people
Speaker 1: use their life as their message, as their career as
Speaker 1: But it's just it's it's but it's such a personal
Speaker 1: journey navigating this when you don't know the way and
Speaker 1: only your inner guidance can tell you that, and so
Speaker 1: you have to go find it. It's like a treasure hunt,
Speaker 1: you know. Like learning all this information, piecing it together,
Speaker 1: taking this from that person, but not all of this,
Speaker 1: and some of that, and you piece it together and
Speaker 1: then it's like you make a mean course, which is
Speaker 1: so awesome because you've conglomerated all this knowledge out there.
Speaker 1: It's just just just wild how it takes so long
Speaker 1: to find it and put it together and make a picture.
