1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: In the book, we say you're not behind, You're becoming. 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: And I just love that sentiment and that phrase, because 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: for so long I felt like I was behind. I 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: wasn't married at the right time, I wasn't with kids 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: at the right time, I wasn't making this amount of money, 6 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: and I just had to go through everything I went 7 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: through to become the woman I am today, which is 8 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: a woman that I love and that I'm so proud 9 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: to be. And so for anyone listening, just remembering that that, 10 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: like every day, you're becoming. 11 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: Today.

The more I was doing something. 69 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: So thank you guys for trusting me and having me on. 70 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: I stop by asking because you both started recording your 71 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 2: podcast in a closet, which I had no idea about, 72 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: and now it's a top fifty podcast, which is absolutely insane. 73 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: What was some of the pivotal moments that really helped 74 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: to define where you are now? Like, tell me some 75 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 2: of the moments through that journey. 76 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: Lindsay and I started on our closet floors. Yes, so 77 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: you can start anything at any place. We had no 78 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: intention of almost thirty becoming anything. 79 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: You know. 80 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: I was in the corporate world. I was really struggling 81 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: in my career and job. I wasn't happy, I didn't 82 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: feel aligned or on purpose. And when we met each other, 83 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: we were just having these really deep, meaningful conversations that 84 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: felt exciting, that felt truthful, that felt authentic, and I 85 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: feel like the way that I was living, I wasn't 86 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: having that with anyone else, and so we were like, 87 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: let's start a podcast, we guess and do it on 88 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: our closet floors. It was twenty sixteen, so things weren't 89 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: really happening then, But over the years, I think some 90 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: of the pivotal moments for us of building Almost thirty 91 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: and stepping out into our purpose of doing the podcast. 92 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: I would say quitting my full. 93 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: Time job, quitting our full time jobs was huge because 94 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: we built Almost thirty as like a side hustle. You know, 95 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: I was so you guys can hear the desperation. I 96 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 1: was so desperate to get out of the corporate world 97 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: that I really wanted it to work. And so that 98 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: moment where I could put in my two weeks because 99 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: we had built the business for two years, we had 100 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: learned to monetize it, We learned to hire a team 101 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: and go on tour and do all these things that 102 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: I never dreamed of doing, felt really really special and 103 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: I just felt so proud that we were able to 104 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: monetize our gifts and monetize our service. So for me, 105 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: for sure, quitting my full time job, I was like, yes, 106 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: this is it. 107 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 4: And then we were able to like really lean in 108 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 4: one hundred percent, which I think really accelerated what we 109 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 4: were doing. And I think the other differentiator in our 110 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 4: growth was just creating community. I think when you host 111 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 4: a podcast, it is it is really easy to be 112 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 4: behind the mic and kind of have this really intimate 113 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: feel and that is so special and I think people 114 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 4: feel that. But we decided to really get out there 115 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 4: in real life very early on. I remember in the 116 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 4: early days, we hosted a soul cycle class for all of. 117 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 3: Our listeners, thirty of them. 118 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 4: It was sixty they showed up. But then, you know, 119 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 4: two years in also we went on tour. No one 120 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 4: asked us to go on tour, but we were like, 121 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 4: we want. 122 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: To meet everyone. Yeah, so we literally toured the world. 123 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 4: We went to Sydney, Australia, we went to London, we 124 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: went all over the US. It was incredible and I 125 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 4: think that really it was different at the time. You know, 126 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: people weren't going on tour for podcasting. They weren't meeting 127 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 4: their listeners in person necessarily, and so I really feel 128 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 4: like that boots on the ground, you know energy where 129 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 4: people are like, oh wow, I met people in their community, 130 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: I met them, I love listening to the show. It 131 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 4: just it made it three D I think for people. 132 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 4: So I think that was a huge part of our 133 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 4: growth in the beginning too. 134 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll just say last thing on this, I'll 135 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: never forget. We were in Sydney for tour and there 136 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: was a woman there that had a really rare brain 137 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: cancer and she was telling her story to our community, 138 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: and then there was another woman there that had something 139 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: similar and just it really showed the power of connection 140 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: and vulnerability and being in person. And We've had so 141 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: many moments like that over the years where it doesn't 142 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: really involve us per se, but it involves the space 143 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: we created to allow women to show up. And those 144 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: kind of moments of people connecting and authenticity and truth 145 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: and finding healing together have been like the best. 146 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: And how many years has it been now that you've 147 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: been doing this together? 148 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 3: Nine years? 149 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, so from when you started to now, what has 150 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 2: changed for you both? Like in terms of one the 151 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 2: way that you see the service that you have, has 152 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: it changed it all? And two working together to work 153 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: together with someone that you consider a close friend or 154 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: a best friend and to navigate that and for you 155 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: to be successful for nine years, because I've had stories 156 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: of people trying to do that. How has that been 157 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: and how did you make it through? That would have 158 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: been some of the challenges. 159 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, think the number one reason why businesses fail is 160 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: because entrepreneurs or co founders don't work. So it's actually 161 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: like statistically proven that most entrepreneurs and co founders don't work, 162 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 1: so especially as women, it can be hard to maintain 163 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: long term friendships. I'd love to hear you know your 164 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: friendship view right now, But I'm someone that struggled with 165 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: female friendships my whole life. Like I'm just a very 166 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: deep feeler and I probably was a toxic one. I 167 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: was probably with toxic people, you know, kind of did 168 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: that dance the whole time. 169 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 3: But meeting Lindsay and having a. 170 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: Greater purpose that we were serving through almost thirty really 171 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: helped us to prioritize like what we were doing and 172 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: who we were. So over the years of building the business, 173 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: we've changed completely. Like I started, I was in a 174 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: long term relationship that turned marriage. You were single. Now 175 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: she's married with a baby. I'm single on the street. 176 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: So we've changed a lot. But what I think has 177 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: made our relationship so strong is having values, having similar values, 178 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: and then doing things like clearing conversations, you know, which 179 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: Lindsay's so powerful to speak to, But we always make 180 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: sure that we're going to show up authentically and truthfully 181 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: and make sure we prioritize the right thing, which is 182 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: our relationship. 183 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 3: Over the business. Yeah, those clearing conversations. 184 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 4: I'll just break down for a hot second, because I 185 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 4: think any friendship, any business partnership, any marriage can benefit 186 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 4: from them. A clearing conversation, the intention is just a 187 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 4: clear distortion in your relationship field. And we all know 188 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 4: what that feels like. You know, it's a just a 189 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 4: you know that not in your stomach, and it's that 190 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 4: psychic sense that a lot is being said but not 191 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 4: actually being said out loud. And the clearing conversation is really, 192 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 4: you know, an intentional meeting between two people where you 193 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 4: can come with truth, honesty, respect and love and be 194 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 4: a really great listener and a really great communicator. And 195 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 4: Kristin and I often do these on walks. You know, 196 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 4: it's proven that, you know, moving your body while you're 197 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 4: having a conversation actually allows you to speak more of 198 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 4: your truth and also staring ahead and not I to eye. 199 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 4: It's a very primal thing to be eye to eye 200 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 4: with someone and feel like you're in fight or flight 201 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 4: if it is a hard conversation. And so that really 202 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 4: helps the body to relax, the minds relax, and you know, 203 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 4: our intention when we do these things is just to 204 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 4: be really honest and we know that coming into it, Yes, 205 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: you know, so it's not it's like I know that 206 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 4: Christa is coming with her heart leading rather than you know, 207 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 4: her dumping just a ton of stuff in my lap 208 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 4: and blaming me. We use a lot of eye statements 209 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 4: that it could sound like, you know, the story I've 210 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 4: been telling myself is that you know, I'm not valuable 211 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 4: in this partnership, and I just feel like I'm I'm 212 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 4: kind of not helping you. I feel like you're round 213 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 4: of doing the most, which is the story I've told 214 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 4: myself before. And then we're able to take responsibility and 215 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 4: then also hear their own story, so they're just the best. 216 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: Because you leave. 217 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 4: Feeling heard, you leave feeling just lighter, you know. And 218 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 4: this is normal in relationship for the fuel to get 219 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 4: a little fuzzy, for the ebb and flow. It's not 220 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 4: always going to be perfect, but if you allow for 221 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 4: that and make room to clear, your relationships are going 222 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 4: to be ten times healthier. 223 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: I love that so much. I feel like growing up 224 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 2: in well one, I was thinking about clearing conversation I 225 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: need to have with someone. 226 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 3: Else, like story of my crying, I mean, like. 227 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: Thinking about doing it for a while, and it just 228 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: keeps getting put off, keeps getting put off. But it 229 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: was something where I was like, I'm just going to 230 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: leave it. It doesn't need to be said. But then it's 231 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: like stopping me from seeing the person. It's stopping me 232 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: from actually having a relationship with them, because there's you know, 233 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 2: it's almost like it may not be a physical barrier, 234 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: but it might as well be, because it becomes like that, 235 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 2: doesn't it. The longer you leave something, the bigger it gets, 236 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: and it calcifies and it's harder to work your way 237 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: through it. But I also think I was thinking about 238 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: my family, and you know, many families have had I 239 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 2: don't know a family that hasn't. We've had so many 240 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: ups and downs to our extended family, and I would 241 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: always say, why can't we all just sit together and 242 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 2: talk about it? And everyone thinks that's the more complicated option, 243 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 2: and I'm like, how is that the more complicated option? 244 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: This is the more complicated option. 245 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: It's sitting in the suffering of this, just the looping, 246 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: you know, of the stories, the conversation, and it is 247 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: it's like getting up the courage to say the thing, 248 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: and then once it's over, you're. 249 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 3: Like, I'm free, I'm liberated. Like it feels so much better, and. 250 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 2: It's so beautiful that you both both work in the 251 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 2: same way. Your mind and heart are working in the 252 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: same way, where you actually, you know, sometimes we jeopardize 253 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 2: ourselves or we are self sabotage by not having those conversations. Yeah, 254 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 2: because it allows us to be the victim. And you're like, oh, okay, 255 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: I'm going to be the victim. This makes me feel 256 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: so much better. That person must be wrong and therefore, 257 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 2: in some way, we make ourselves feel superior, whereas when 258 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: you end up clearing, you're both on a level playing field. 259 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: How beautiful that you've been able to do that for 260 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: nine years. You guys should be so proud of yourself 261 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 2: with that. 262 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: We can work. Though we can work. Oh, I remember 263 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: the very first one that I had. 264 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: It was like it was like probably a year in 265 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: and it had built up so much and I was like, 266 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: this isn't. 267 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: Working, you know. 268 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: I like, yeah, it was like messy, and I was like, 269 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: this isn't working. And I was probably only doing you 270 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: statements and I was probably so unregulated and it was 271 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: just a mess. But like we committed to growth and 272 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: coming back towards one another, and also therapy. 273 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like they so hopeful. Lindsay went to 274 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: therapy first. I was like, oh, I can't. I don't 275 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: trust anybody. I'm not going to Thank god you led 276 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 3: the way. 277 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: But therapy also helps so that we can kind of 278 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: process the messiness of it all and kind of get 279 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: clear with that, so that anything that would be hurtful 280 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: that we would potentially say to one another, we're kind 281 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: of clearing with our therapist. So it's like there is 282 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: availability and room for messy. There is availability in room 283 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: to you know, not be perfectly polished and posed every 284 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: time you speak, and therapy allows you to do that, 285 00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: so I can come to her as loving as possible. 286 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: My therapist will also be like, hm, this seems like 287 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: a pattern that you're in, or this seems like you 288 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: know something's going on. 289 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: It's also unrealistic to think that any relationship wouldn't have 290 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 2: those problems, wouldn't have some sort of resistance. It's just 291 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 2: whether it's the things that we experience outside of those 292 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: relationships that end up seeping into them, or whether it's 293 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 2: the conversations or lack of understanding of tone, or you know, 294 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: I think tone plays such a big part if you 295 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 2: haven't If you may say something in one way, the 296 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 2: person receives it in another way. And so I just 297 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: I love that. I think clearing conversations need to be 298 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 2: done with everyone. 299 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 4: And you're like. 300 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 3: Talking to yourself. Yes, I'm gonna text you to be like, girl, 301 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: did you do that? Clear? 302 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: Has your definition of success changed from when you started 303 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: or would you say it stayed the same? Oh? 304 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think that's something we're still kind 305 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 4: of redefining as we go along these nine years. I 306 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 4: think for me in the beginning, success was very very 307 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 4: goal oriented, rather than really defining success as enjoyment and 308 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 4: presence in the process. I think when you're starting a 309 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,599 Speaker 4: creative project, you know, especially a podcast, a lot of 310 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 4: things can roll in, like the expectations of downloads, numbers, 311 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 4: who's listening, who's not, what guests do we have on 312 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 4: the show. Just lots of metrics that can distort the 313 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 4: true feeling of success. And I've had to go that 314 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 4: far and kind of get overwhelmed by that and then 315 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 4: come back more recently, like we wrote our book and 316 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 4: the other day I was just like, girl, you wrote 317 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 4: a book that is that is the successful part of 318 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 4: this process what happens after? You know, I want it 319 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 4: to be in as many hands as possible. I want 320 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 4: people to be impacted all over the world. But that 321 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 4: is not a metric that is a part of my 322 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 4: true success around this book. So I've just got had 323 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 4: to get clear every step of the way because we're human, 324 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 4: you know, Like I'll let those things kind of seep in. 325 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 4: But I've really become obsessed with am I enjoying the process? 326 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 4: Am I myself in this process? And am I present here? 327 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 4: I don't want to look back and be like wow, 328 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 4: like I didn't really enjoy creating this because I was 329 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 4: so wrapped up in well, like what do people want 330 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 4: from me, and just kind of like pulling out strings 331 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 4: that I could be using to really create something great. 332 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, this one is one of my struggles in life. 333 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: You know. I think for me, success has always been 334 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: that thing that I chase and that I desire. And 335 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: what I realized oftentimes was that when I was chasing 336 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: a number, I knew I was off track. If it 337 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: was a number related to my weight, if it was 338 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: number related to money, if it was a number related 339 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: to followers, or likes or purchases or you know, all 340 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: these things that were externally focused on something that could 341 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: be deduced to another I'm off track because whether I 342 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: weigh a certain amount, you know, whatever amount, it's like, 343 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: how do I feel on my body if I'm impacting 344 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: five million people or five Like, impacting one person's life 345 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: positively is huge, And so I always kind of come 346 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: back to like outside of numbers, like how do I 347 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: feel like my success now? Is how much fun I'm having? 348 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, am I enjoying the process? And for writing 349 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: the book? You know, the process of writing was so 350 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: much fun, and we were just talking a little bit 351 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: before and then you get to the part where you're 352 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: like marketing it and selling it, which is so much 353 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: fun in a dream. But for that perfectionist part of 354 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: me and that part of me that feels like I'm 355 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: never good enough, it's been just a challenge, you know, 356 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: to show up. And so I've had to really come 357 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: to like this is for me to enjoy, Like I 358 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: am able to have fun, I'm able to enjoy the process, 359 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: and being successful would be like loving what I'm doing 360 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: and loving who I am. And so now it's so 361 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: much more than a number or anything external. 362 00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 3: It's a feeling. 363 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: And how have you guys moved from because I think, 364 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure many people can relate to that. 365 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 2: How have you moved from the mindset of numbers, whether 366 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: it is on a scale, to do with your body 367 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: or to do with your work, to how you are now? 368 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 2: Do you have any practices or anything specific and tangible 369 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 2: that people can do to allow themselves that journey. 370 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a simple one, but it's just kind 371 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 4: of trained my mind to sync up with my heart. 372 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 4: But I put an alarm on my phone to like 373 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 4: check in during the day. Oftentimes I'm doing creative things 374 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 4: or in our business in whatever way, and I can 375 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 4: get very serious very quickly and then kind of wrapped 376 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 4: up in what I haven't done yet, or you know, yeah, 377 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 4: just kind of the lack and the alarm on my 378 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 4: phone is there's various ones, but it's like check in. 379 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 4: It's like checking in with the heart. So it's like, 380 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 4: how are you really feeling in this moment, and how 381 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 4: can you invite in more joys? And so it's a 382 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 4: little corny, but it's actually trained me. I don't necessarily 383 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 4: need the alarm now all the time. Because I can 384 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 4: just really check in in those moments that I feel 385 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: myself getting a little rigid, a little serious, a little 386 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 4: wrapped up in the mind and what it's saying, how 387 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 4: it's making meaning about what I'm doing, and really just 388 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 4: dropping down into my heart and just being like, Okay, 389 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 4: how does this feel? How can you invite in a 390 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 4: little bit more joy to this? Because at the end 391 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 4: of the day, and we talk about this in the book, 392 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 4: like the soul of ours is just like having a blast, 393 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 4: like this is an adventure, So how can we take 394 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 4: on more of like how she's experiencing this rather than 395 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 4: like this, you know, the mind's kind of like heaviness 396 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 4: and trudging through everything. 397 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: I love that that's so useful. 398 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: I think for me whenever I have moments where I'm 399 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: really feeling good or on purpose, I just like to 400 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: double click on it and just pause, like I like 401 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: to just feel it cellularly. 402 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 3: In my body. 403 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: And it's almost like I'll stretch time, Like I'll just 404 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: have a moment and I'm like, ooh, I'm feeling good. 405 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: How can I slow down? How can I stretch time? 406 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: How can I just feel it what it feels like 407 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: to feel good? Cellularly in my body. Like as an example, 408 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: we did an event a few weeks ago with a 409 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: friend and we didn't really share about it. We just 410 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: kind of showed up and there was like ten people there, 411 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: which is great, ten people, We love them. But of 412 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: course old me would have been like, there's not two 413 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: hundred people here, what's the point. But my friend's kids 414 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: were there, and I got to be with my friend's 415 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: kids and play with her kids and laugh with her kids, 416 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: and I was like, this is what this is about 417 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: when I'm eighty. This is what I'm going to value 418 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: when i'm older. This is what I'll value. And having 419 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: moments of play and laughter felt like more worth it 420 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: than if I. 421 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 3: Was in front of two hundred people. 422 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I'm just going to double 423 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: click on this feeling of feeling good playing with my 424 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: friends kids in this now moment because the guru part 425 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: of me, the most spiritual aspect of me, knows that 426 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: this is what it's for and not anything else. 427 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 428 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 2: I love the idea of the bird's eye view. Yeah 429 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 2: oh yeah, you know, so wrapped up in the moment 430 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 2: and this present thing that's happening, and then as soon 431 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 2: as if you have that opportunity to bird's eye view 432 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: for a second, you're like, yeah, I was like, why 433 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 2: am I? Why am I even thinking about this for 434 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 2: more than an hour? Why am I even like letting 435 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 2: this bother me at all? How is this going to 436 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: affect me? Not even in just five years time, but 437 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 2: like tomorrow or the next day. And so I think 438 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 2: that they're really great tips. Actually, thank you for that. 439 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: I would love to dig into the book because I 440 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 2: actually didn't know much about Saturn returns. For anyone listening 441 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: the book is I think it starts off with Saturn return, 442 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 2: doesn't it. Yes, it starts off with your Saturn return. 443 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 2: And I want to start off by asking what is 444 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: Saturn return because I don't know whether everybody knows what 445 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:46,239 Speaker 2: it is. 446 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, so okay, let's go on an astrological journey. 447 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 2: Yes, I haven't anyone talk about astrology on this, so 448 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 2: let's go. 449 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 3: And we're not experts. 450 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 4: But when we learned this, it was a complete unlocked 451 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 4: to the season of life that we were in, and 452 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 4: really any season of change. So your Saturn return is 453 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 4: when Saturn the planet comes back to the place in 454 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 4: the sky it was when you were born and this planet. 455 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 4: Think of it like your cosmic dad. He's coming in 456 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 4: very lovingly, but maybe a little more tough love, and 457 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 4: is asking you to look at aspects of your life 458 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 4: that are aligned and aspects that are not. And those 459 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 4: misalignments are usually the ones that during this period of 460 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 4: your life between twenty seven and twenty nine and a 461 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 4: half almost thirty, that feel like they're falling apart. You know, 462 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 4: it feels like you should be in a different place 463 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 4: and things aren't just working or clicking. You might feel 464 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 4: incredibly insecure or looking around feeling like everyone has it 465 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 4: together and you do not. But man, you know, this 466 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 4: period of your life is actually it feels like it's crumbling, 467 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 4: but it is truly coming to get for you. And 468 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 4: when we realized this, we had an astrologer on our 469 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 4: show very early on and she said, you guys are 470 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 4: in your Saturn return. We were like, oh my, Like 471 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 4: it just changed everything. Like if you're not crazy, yeh, 472 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 4: to know to no one, to understand on a cosmic level, 473 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 4: you know, if you kind of bring that into the 474 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 4: room was so liberating. We were like, oh, there's a 475 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 4: purpose here and it made so much sense. So all 476 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 4: that to say you know, this is really an opportunity 477 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 4: to get get in right relationship with change because you're 478 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 4: going to change throughout your whole life, and also see 479 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 4: some of the themes that Saturn brings to you and 480 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 4: brings up to you that might reoccur throughout your life, 481 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 4: but this one is going to be the most intense 482 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 4: this period, and then you'll be able to kind of understand, oh, 483 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 4: this is what I'm working with in life, and this 484 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 4: is what I can really meet and commit to grown 485 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 4: through rather than avoiding and staying stock. 486 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 2: And does does it any happen once in your life? 487 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 4: No? So hopefully you know it could happen three times, 488 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 4: So at twenty nine and a half or so, and 489 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 4: then again around fifty eight, fifty nine, and then in 490 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 4: your nineties for the third time. 491 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, imagine your nineties being like why am 492 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 2: I even here? 493 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: Because it's lighter and lighter. That's when you're like, it's 494 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: all good. 495 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: Well aligns to people's quarter life crisis, mid life crisis. 496 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: It's kind of around that time period too, so much 497 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: since and then around twenty seven to around twenty seven 498 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: is when your prefrontal cortex comes online. So basically it's 499 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: when you become conscious. So a lot of times for 500 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: most or for most people, they're living life before that 501 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: time just kind of programmed with what society tells them 502 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: to do, what their parents want them to be, and 503 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: they're living a life that may not be aligned to 504 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: their soul but to external things. And so when your 505 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: prefrontal cortex comes online, it's like really that time where 506 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: you're thinking existentially, You're like, what. 507 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 3: Am I here to do? Who am I here to be? 508 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: What is going on? And it can be really really 509 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: it can be kind of scary for if you have 510 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: it for the first time. And so for any way 511 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: that we can help understand that period, whether it's astrology 512 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: or whether it's you know, brain development, we wanted people 513 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: to feel less alone and feeling like they were lost, 514 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: or feeling like they were questioning what they knew, and 515 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: that they wanted to live a better, more aligned life. 516 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 2: I for sure went through that. 517 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: Please, I was like, we need to hear from from Yeah, I. 518 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 2: Think it was. It was during the time when I 519 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 2: moved to New York. So not only was I going 520 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 2: through that, I then had extreme external change. So I 521 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,239 Speaker 2: honestly felt like I went through a mini breakdown when 522 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 2: I moved to New York because all the things that 523 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 2: I had valued or thought about myself had also come 524 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: from external people. Because I was the youngest, I was 525 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: a younger child. Everything was like fed to me, told 526 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 2: to me. And then I moved to New York, which 527 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 2: was an extreme external change for me. I never wanted 528 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 2: to leave, and all of those things mixed together, new friends, 529 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: new place, not being able to work there. Just everything 530 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 2: was like, oh my gosh, this is what mid life 531 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 2: crisis must feel like. But I'm not midlife yet. And 532 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 2: it was the biggest growth phase I have ever been 533 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 2: through my life, and it is what has shaped my 534 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 2: ability to be able to move through resistance and to 535 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 2: be able to do things that I would have normally 536 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 2: said no to, to be able to say for my 537 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 2: mind to know that even though this is hard, you've 538 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 2: done it before, you could do it again. Because that 539 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 2: was a really rough time. And so I actually now 540 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 2: my mom says this all the time. She was like, 541 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 2: she was there's a caterpillar butterfly thing, but if she 542 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: really felt like she saw me go through that phase 543 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 2: of my life where it was really rough, and she 544 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 2: was like and suddenly then I just saw you seem 545 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 2: so at ease and like bloom, And when I look 546 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 2: back at it, I really do bird's eye view, I'm like, wow, 547 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 2: that was such a transitional phase. But the biggest growth 548 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 2: spat that I had way bigger than when I like 549 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: hit puberty. 550 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you feel like? 551 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 4: Was like the area or areas of your life that 552 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 4: were being like kind of highlighted as like, hey, this 553 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 4: is totally unaligned right now. 554 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 3: You got to look at this worth. 555 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 2: Wow, mine was fully work with worth. And you know, 556 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 2: I was watching Jay at that time where he was 557 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 2: fully in his purpose, like it was the beginning of 558 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 2: him really being in it. And I was in this 559 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 2: place where I was like, what am I even here for? 560 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 4: Like? 561 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 2: What am I doing here? What is my role? What 562 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: is my service? Why am i him? I'm meant to 563 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 2: just be a wife. I want to be a wife, 564 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: But am I just meant to be a wife? Like, 565 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 2: because that's what it feels like right now? I've got 566 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 2: nothing else going for me. And it was definitely self 567 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 2: worth in realizing that, oh my gosh, I built all 568 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 2: my self worth on other people's view of me. And 569 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 2: then it was interesting because when I then flowed into 570 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 2: being someone online. It was really tricky not making not 571 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 2: transitioning that worth into online with but I think I 572 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: luckily came into deeper spiritual practices during that time, and 573 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 2: obviously you eb and flow through it, but it was 574 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 2: definitely a self worth thing for me that really came 575 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 2: to surface. 576 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the deepening of the spiritual practices is 577 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: what anchored and grounded us in such a way. And 578 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: I know I had been a spiritual little being my 579 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: whole life, but it was finding that true sense of 580 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: spirituality in my own unique way, because your spirituality is 581 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: different than mine and different than yours, and having that 582 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: foundation and having that belief in a co collaboration was 583 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: something bigger than me, and the trust and the knowing 584 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: that if I believe that this is all on me, 585 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: that that's when I know off the path. You know, 586 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: of course, in Miracles talks about that. It talks about 587 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: if we believe that it's all on us, then we 588 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: already know that we're not there. That the fear really 589 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: comes in when we believe that we have to shoulder 590 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: it all. And so my belief in something greater, in 591 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: a greater path, and my soul in a greater purpose 592 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: was really the thing that sort of brought me out 593 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: of it and brought me into a deeper sense of 594 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: purpose and self that like became an anchor. 595 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 2: Yes, I love it. And when you think of yourself, 596 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: when you think it's not just you, you believe so much 597 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 2: more can happen. Yes, it's that thing of like, Okay, 598 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: I know I'm limited in certain ways because yes, physically 599 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: I can only run this far and mentally I can 600 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: only do this much. But then when you add a 601 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: sprinkle of something beyond you into it, you're like, oh, actually, 602 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: I know, I kind of it, but. 603 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: You leave room for so much. 604 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 2: Divine might be able to do it. Together, we might 605 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 2: be able to do it. 606 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,640 Speaker 1: Yes, there are no limits to divine, like there are 607 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: no limits. And when I can get out of my 608 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: limited mind of this is what I can do, this 609 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: is what's possible, and just like surrendered till it's possible, 610 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I only can taste how good it 611 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: can get. 612 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 2: We only need like magic in our life. I feel 613 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 2: like everything is so practical, so logical, so theoretical. Everyone's 614 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: like one thing to another, and then you think, but 615 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: where's the magic in life? I know where do we 616 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 2: where do we get this magic from? And you know, 617 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 2: I guess we will feel that in our spiritual practices. 618 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: But yeah, to anyone listening, like where do you get 619 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 2: that magic from? Like where do you feel that extra 620 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 2: spark of something beyond your physical self? 621 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 3: We were driving here and there was an adopt the highway. 622 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 4: It was like, wait, yes, atheist something some atheist united 623 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 4: and respect and love. But also I just had that 624 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 4: feeling of like, oh, it made me think of anyone 625 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 4: who just shoulders life, just feeling like they have to 626 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 4: figure it out themselves, you know, and how happy that 627 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 4: can be. 628 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 2: What are some of your daily spiritual practices that you 629 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 2: find help you. 630 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: I think for me prayer is just the best. And 631 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: prayer can look different for everyone, but for me, prayer 632 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: has all the benefits of meditation. It's that quiet time, 633 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: it's that nervous system regulation, and it's really that conversation 634 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: with my soul and my conversation with my guides or God. 635 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: And it's really the moments when I just the most clear, 636 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: I just get the most dialed and I can give 637 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: whatever stress or anxiety up. One of my favorite practices 638 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: and rituals to do at the end of the day. 639 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: I'll pray in the morning, and I pray at night, 640 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: and I praying throughout the day pretty much. But one 641 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: of my favorite practices is to imagine myself walking up 642 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: to an altar, Like in my mind's eye, I'll be 643 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: walking up to this beautiful altar in the sky or 644 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: nature wherever, and I'll just imagine myself giving up any stress, 645 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: any anxiety, anything that I'm shouldering or holding in my 646 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: life to this altar. So anything I'm ruminating on, like oh, 647 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: I'm fearful of this, I'm scared of this, this clearing 648 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: conversation I have to do. You know, this sickness that 649 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: my dad has, all these things, I just put it 650 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: on the altar and imagine it being taken care of 651 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: in a greater way than I could have ever imagined. 652 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: And I imagine it's cellularly leaving my body so that 653 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: I can feel free. 654 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 3: Wow. 655 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: And you know that type of feeling of being taken 656 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,959 Speaker 1: care of, of possibility of stress, reduction of peace is 657 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: so so nourishing and it's been so helpful for me. 658 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 2: It's beautiful the altar in your heart. 659 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can imagine you can sometimes my altar 660 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: is like covered and leave. Sometimes it's like gemstones, it's 661 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: like this decorated. 662 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 3: It's just so beautiful. 663 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 2: It's a really beautiful song in our practice, and it 664 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 2: says mona mon there, and that's exactly what it means, 665 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 2: creating an altar or temple in your heart. It's honestly 666 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 2: why I got this tattoo recently. Actually it's a little 667 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 2: temple and it's mana Mandere. I'll send it to you. 668 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 2: It's in Sanskrit, but you'll feel it. You don't need 669 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 2: to really know what it's saying. But it's all about 670 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 2: creating this temple in your heart space and doing exactly 671 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: what you said. And that's beautiful having that surrender. What 672 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: about you? 673 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 4: So as a new mom, to be honest, it's been 674 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 4: I had my two hour routine in the morning before baby, 675 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 4: and I would have all my practices I'll set and 676 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 4: it's been really cool to kind of, you know, redefine 677 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 4: like what those practices look like for me. How do 678 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 4: I connect with God? How do I connect with my soul? 679 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 4: And prayer is absolutely part of my practice, but I've 680 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 4: also found just you know, where can I find beauty 681 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 4: and reverence for my life in these like very mundane moments, 682 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 4: you know. So my son will get up in the 683 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 4: morning and I go in and you know, we have 684 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 4: our time and our cozy chair and we just like 685 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 4: are cheek to cheek looking out at Brooklyn and you know, 686 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 4: just having that moment together and I just cherish that 687 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 4: and I feel I feel God in that moment, and 688 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 4: I feel just fully fully held and fully connected heart 689 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 4: to heart with my son. And it's just in those 690 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 4: mundane moments I've found the same feeling I desired before baby, 691 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 4: you know, in those spiritual practices to be there as well. 692 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 4: So if anyone is listening and they're feeling so busy 693 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 4: right now, my life is just in flux. 694 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 3: I whether you had a baby, or. 695 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 4: Maybe you're moving, or maybe you're changing careers and you 696 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 4: just feel like the thought of trying to incorporate a 697 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 4: longer spiritual routine throughout your day feels too much. Just 698 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 4: know that it can happen in an instant, you know, 699 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 4: you can. 700 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 3: You can pray in an instant. 701 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 4: You can you know, just touch your heart in an 702 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 4: instant and connect to your soul. 703 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be you. 704 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,239 Speaker 4: Know, cross legged in the middle of a room with 705 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 4: candles and all these things. I think we we kind 706 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 4: of paint that picture, but it doesn't actually have to 707 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 4: be that. 708 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 2: That's beautiful. I really think motherhood is. I mean, even 709 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 2: in our culture it says that your relationship being a 710 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 2: mother is as close to a relationship as inhumanly possible 711 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 2: that you can get your relationship with God because it 712 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 2: is such a it's a relationship of service. And you know, 713 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 2: up in for us we say your relationship to God 714 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 2: is of service. And so when you have that child 715 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 2: that is completely under your at your surrender, everything you 716 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 2: do for it is what it receives or what the 717 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 2: child receives. It's like that is the closest relationship to 718 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 2: to serving the Divine that you get because you're in 719 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 2: constant mode of service as a mother. Oh yeah, yes, 720 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 2: what piece of advice have you been given over these 721 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 2: past years or even while you were going through a 722 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 2: safon in return that you feel has stayed with you, 723 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 2: like a piece of advice you would give to someone 724 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 2: else going through it. 725 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 726 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: I think for me as someone that was codependent, you know, 727 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 1: so codependent and I'll never forget when Lindsay started going 728 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: to therapy and Lindsay went first, like I said, and 729 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: when she came, she's like, I'm working with my feelings 730 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: of codependency and I'm working with this pattern of codependency. 731 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that. 732 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: Sucks for her, like as someone that's incredibly independent, like 733 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: that really sucks for her. I was like, interesting about 734 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: empathize literally literally, I was like, keep me posted, girl, 735 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, realizing my codependency was so deep I didn't 736 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: even see it and I couldn't even or standard or 737 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: zom so having coaches and therapists and mentors that just 738 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: simply ask you, but how do you feel? You know, 739 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: it can be you receive a text message from someone 740 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: and then you're sent, often to the story of they 741 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: don't care about me, or they they think this, or 742 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: they want me to you know. The stories just start 743 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: when we receive emails, text messages, things on the phone, conversations, 744 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: and it can just come back to like how do 745 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: I feel? What do I want? How do I want 746 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: to show up? And I think there's the turning inward 747 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: to me and remembering that I'm a person, I am 748 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,720 Speaker 1: a form, I am a being that deserves an opinion, 749 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,399 Speaker 1: that deserves a perspective, that can be in the room 750 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: and in this conversation, which just huge for me. So 751 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: now with anything I always kind of turn in. I'm like, 752 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: how are you doing, how are you feeling? What do 753 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: you want? It's like bringing the I back in the 754 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,359 Speaker 1: conversation has just been worlds helpful in my romantic relationships, 755 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: in my business, in my family relationships, and it just 756 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: helps me to be more centered and more myself so 757 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 1: I can be in true relationship with people out of 758 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: love instead of out of any codependent fears or patterns. 759 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 4: Shout out to our therapists who I feel like you 760 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 4: probably quote on the regular and can't actually say their 761 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 4: names because this one is also similar flavor. But my 762 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 4: therapist would ask me, is this really? Is this you know? 763 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 4: Is this your voice? Is this your desire? Is this 764 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 4: what you really want to do? And it's just a 765 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 4: great question we can ask ourselves because I'm someone who 766 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 4: can easily take on the desires of other people or 767 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 4: the dreams of other people that they have. For me, 768 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 4: I was living an expired dream for a long time. 769 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 4: I wanted to be an actress, which was my truth 770 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 4: from a very young age. But there came a point 771 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 4: where that dream was expired, and I was still like 772 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 4: pushing for it because everyone expected me to, and you know, 773 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 4: I had I remember having a conversation with my therapist 774 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 4: about this a few of them, and she was just like, 775 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 4: is this still your dream? You know, like who are 776 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 4: you doing this for? And it was just such a 777 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 4: powerful question that I still have to ask myself even 778 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 4: as a mom now, you know, just kind of checking 779 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,919 Speaker 4: in as I navigate rearing a child. But it could 780 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 4: just bring you right back to your center, and I 781 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 4: think that's where when I make decisions, that's the best 782 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 4: place I can be. You know, it doesn't have to 783 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 4: be the right quote quote decision, it just has to 784 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 4: be from that center. 785 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 2: I love that the dream is expired, you know. I 786 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 2: feel like your conzy told go for your dreams, like 787 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 2: push for and of course you should. But I also 788 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 2: love that side of the coin where you can say, actually, yes, 789 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 2: that was my dream, but it doesn't need to be fulfilled. 790 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 2: And I'm actually okay with that. And I think it's 791 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 2: you know, seeing as expired rather than a failure is 792 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 2: a complete shifted narrative for your own mind and for 793 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 2: you to accept that it was, it's something you can accept, 794 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 2: not something that you have to see as something that 795 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,879 Speaker 2: didn't work out. It wasn't failure. It's just not part 796 00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 2: of me anymore. It was then, not. 797 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 4: Now, and we're constantly changing. So to like think that 798 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 4: we will have the same dream for our entire lives, 799 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 4: I'm sure that's possible, but like to have that expectation 800 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 4: just feels a little unrealistic, so allowing it to change 801 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 4: and evolve, Like acting was once my dream, but look 802 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 4: at the skills and talents I have that I was 803 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 4: kind of pushing into that dream that I'm actually expressing 804 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,399 Speaker 4: now on the podcast and will express in other ways 805 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 4: throughout my life. 806 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 3: So it's just so interesting to track. 807 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 2: I remember I was talking about this recently. I can't 808 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 2: remember where, but I had when I was really from 809 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 2: a really young age, or I would have dolls and 810 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 2: whenever I would draw myself, it would be with like 811 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 2: all these five kids, and it was like I was 812 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 2: always like pregnant. I was like a kid. I was 813 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 2: always pregnant in my picture, like and I'm twenty here, 814 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 2: yeah yeah, And I was literally like I would say, 815 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 2: even when I was like ten, eleven, twelve, I would 816 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 2: always be visualizing myself having waves. I loved children, whether 817 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 2: I was working with children or playing with my little 818 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 2: little or cousin when I was ten, doing her hair, 819 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 2: whatever it was. And when I got to New York, 820 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 2: and obviously I was already married, and I was like, oh, yeah, 821 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 2: I want to be a young mum and I want 822 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 2: to like have kids really young, and I want like, 823 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 2: however many of them. And I realized I was like 824 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 2: carrying on this dream, but I wasn't ready for that dream, 825 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 2: Like I didn't. I thought that's what I wanted, and 826 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 2: so beautiful if it was what I wanted, But I 827 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,399 Speaker 2: realized I wasn't ready for that dream, and so I 828 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 2: was like and then I remember thinking, oh my gosh, 829 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 2: am I like going against something that I should be 830 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 2: doing because it's been in my mind for so long. 831 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 2: And then when I got to like three years after that, 832 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh, have I completely ruined 833 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 2: my dream? Like it's my dream ruined that I didn't 834 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 2: do this thing that I've been talking about or thinking 835 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 2: about since I was ten years old or probably even younger. 836 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 2: And then you realize that it's okay to grow and 837 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 2: your mind shift can change because you experience different things. 838 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 2: Your eyes open to so many different things. And it's 839 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 2: not to say I don't want to be a mother, 840 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 2: but it's saying that that dream wasn't for me at 841 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 2: the time, and had I push myself into it, maybe 842 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been ready for that. And so it's 843 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 2: so interesting because I think it's not expired, but it 844 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 2: just wasn't there. It wasn't for me at that point, 845 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 2: and the dream had to change a little bit. 846 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 3: Yes, And I think now you know you can have 847 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 3: it all. 848 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: You can have that dream and you can have other dreams, 849 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: and you can allow things to unfold. And I think 850 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: in my life, my dreams were a little too small, 851 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: right I was. I'm from a small town in Ohio, 852 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: so not many people had big dreams where I grew up, 853 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: and so the dreams that I did have were pretty 854 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,879 Speaker 1: like small, Like I think I wanted to be on 855 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: a local news anchor, which is totally fine, but I 856 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: just wanted to do something that I saw. Yes, And 857 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: for a lot of us, we're just kind of contextualizing 858 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: what dreams are possible based on who were around. So 859 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: when you kind of see in life, if you move 860 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: to Los ANGELESO you kind of see different opportunities and options. 861 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 1: You're expanded into the possibility an idea of different dreams. 862 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 2: That's so true, and. 863 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: So it's beautiful to allow ourselves to kind of have, 864 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, this expansion of ideas and possibilities with our dreams. 865 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,120 Speaker 1: And I would say, now, I don't even know for 866 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: I have any dreams. Yeah, I'm just like God, whatever 867 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,279 Speaker 1: you want for me, like, I just make it good. 868 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 3: I'm not surprise me. 869 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 2: God make it good. It's true that that really resonated 870 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 2: with me because I started coming across all these My 871 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 2: mum worked all her life, so did my dad. But 872 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 2: I started seeing all these women who were like entrepreneurs, 873 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 2: not in their nine to five roles that I was 874 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 2: used to seeing and that I was in myself. And 875 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 2: I felt really content when I was doing it. But 876 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 2: then suddenly, once you see something, you can't unsee it, 877 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, I didn't even know this was possible, 878 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 2: or oh, yeah, maybe that's something I would like to explore. 879 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 2: And so once your eyes open or you see something 880 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 2: that's not part of your daily life or culture or 881 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,840 Speaker 2: something that you were used to before, it does shift 882 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 2: and change you completely, or it opens you up to 883 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 2: different possibilities that you were ever thinking about because you've 884 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:51,439 Speaker 2: never seen it. 885 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 3: In the Internet. 886 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 1: It's the best and worst place, you know, payful for it. 887 00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: But on the Internet you can find the expanders. You 888 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: can find the ideas, the concepts, the people that show 889 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: you what's possible. I'm so grateful for all the women 890 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: in my life, all the women that were surrounded by 891 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: and the most powerful women that are just doing these crazy, 892 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: amazing things that we can be expanded by. But then 893 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,800 Speaker 1: it's also being mindful of where we're following someone else's 894 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: blueprint and really allowing our own soul to lead the way. 895 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 1: So just kind of doing the dance of Okay, I'm 896 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: going to let this expand what's possible for me, but 897 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure to follow my own blueprint. 898 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 2: Throughout this journey. What have been some of the like 899 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 2: quieter signs for you that you were healing, Like, what 900 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 2: were the little things you were noticing in yourself that 901 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 2: indicates you, you know what, I'm in the right direction. 902 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 4: I think for me, I started to trust myself, you know, 903 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 4: just in those small moments and in those big moments, and. 904 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 3: No one would see that on the outside. 905 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 4: You know, it's not an obvious thing, but I just 906 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 4: allowed the like that inner voice to lead me a 907 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,359 Speaker 4: little bit more rather than what I thought I should do. 908 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 4: And I really had to take inventory on the shoulds 909 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 4: that were running in my life in order to get 910 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 4: to that place that I really trusted myself. So just 911 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 4: to quickly break that down, a lot of us are 912 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 4: living a life where, you know, the subtext would be 913 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 4: I should be married by twenty seven, I should have 914 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 4: kids by thirty, I should buy a house, I should 915 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 4: be in that place at that time. And you know, 916 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 4: like we're saying, you know, life has bigger plans for us, 917 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 4: you know, and the timeline is not always the one 918 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 4: we imagine or other people imagine for us. So taking 919 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 4: inventory of those shoulds and understanding where they came from. 920 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 4: Are they from my parents? Are they from you know? 921 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 4: Did I hear it in school? Did I see everyone 922 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 4: around me do this thing? And then you know I 923 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 4: started to try on almost like the inverse of the should. 924 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 4: So if you know, my belief was that I was 925 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,399 Speaker 4: getting I should be married by twenty seven, twenty eight 926 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 4: and have have my first kid by like twenty nine, 927 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 4: and you know, I I was thrust into seven years 928 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 4: of being single at like twenty six or so, twenty seven, 929 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 4: and in the depths of that, you know, when I 930 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 4: just felt like I was never going to find my person, 931 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 4: I just tried on this belief. You know, I trust 932 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 4: the timing of my life, and I know that understanding 933 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 4: and knowing myself more deeply is going to attract someone 934 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 4: who I will truly be in deep connection, in partnership with. 935 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 4: And just like trying that on for a day, you know, 936 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 4: walking around in my life truly believing that and seeing 937 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 4: how that felt, and eventually that became my belief and 938 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 4: it just it was great to strip it down, you 939 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 4: know and kind of come back to what I what 940 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,400 Speaker 4: I actually actually believe. And from there I was able 941 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 4: to trust myself and the small decisions that I was making. 942 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 4: And then when I would you know, my husband came 943 00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 4: into my life, my now husband, I trusted myself implicitly 944 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 4: to know that he was my person. 945 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: There was no doubt. I love this question. I want 946 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: to here yours so small signs of how I know 947 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm healing. I think something that I really work with 948 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: is something called internal family systems parts work. 949 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 3: Do you do that as well. 950 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 2: Now, Gabby came on the show and she walked me 951 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 2: through yeah a small like I guess, the small process 952 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,320 Speaker 2: of it, and it was really incredible. 953 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 3: It's so powerful. It really was so in parts work. 954 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,399 Speaker 1: It's basically we love, honor and accept all parts, all thoughts, 955 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 1: all feelings and beliefs. And I think before in life 956 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 1: I would shame myself and be mad at myself if 957 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 1: I didn't think perfectly act perfectly, like I almost had 958 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,839 Speaker 1: a censor in my own mind. And now I see 959 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 1: such progress when I can invite in all of the thoughts, 960 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: all of the beliefs, all of the parts of me, 961 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 1: even the ones that are tired, that are complaining, that 962 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: are sad, that are mean, that are bratty, Like I 963 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: just say yes to all aspects of me, and that 964 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 1: means I could go into a moment and you know, 965 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 1: I could have a judger part of me that's like 966 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 1: doing her thing, and I'm like, okay, I see you, girl, 967 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: Like I know that you feel uncomfortable, we're a little nervous, 968 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 1: we're trying to differentiate yourself, and I'll just kind of 969 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 1: invite in all of the things I used to hate 970 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,240 Speaker 1: about myself. I'd be like, oh, I'm so judge, Magtile, 971 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm all these things. And now I'm like, oh, I 972 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: hear you, I see you, and I love you, and 973 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: you're a part of me. And the more I can 974 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 1: turn to myself and the parts of me and love them, 975 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 1: the more whole I am and the better I feel. 976 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 2: I love both of those so beautiful. What was what 977 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 2: would be mine? A big warning sign to myself, Actually 978 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 2: I'll go the opposite way, a sign I was gonna say, 979 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 2: a big warning sign that I'm not growing, but. 980 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 3: Like I'm gonna go the other way. 981 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 2: That I am is how much I criticize other people. 982 00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: And also I never see you criticizing anybody. 983 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:05,319 Speaker 2: So well, whether it's internally or externally. And then well, 984 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,319 Speaker 2: but you know what, who doesn't who doesn't have those 985 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,439 Speaker 2: moments where you're seeing them? And then also a big 986 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 2: one for me is when I feeling other people's joy 987 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 2: for them, Like that's a big one for me, Like 988 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 2: do I actually am I actually really happy for you? 989 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, that's amazing. And inside I'm 990 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 2: like wishing for their demise, not wishing for their demise, 991 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,799 Speaker 2: but sometimes like it's hard to feel joy for other 992 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 2: people when you're not feeling good. And so I think 993 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 2: a big indication for me of when I'm genuinely like 994 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 2: doing better in myself or going through a period where 995 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 2: my practices are on point and I'm doing the work 996 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 2: and I'm recognizing what's happening is the initial reaction when 997 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 2: someone has something good in their life and how am 998 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,359 Speaker 2: I feeling? And then when I notice that, I'm like, oh, 999 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 2: thank god, I was actually happy, or sometimes I'm like, 1000 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 2: oh my god, why did I feel like that about them? 1001 00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,840 Speaker 2: It's actually not about them, YEA, Like what was it about? Well, Okay, 1002 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,799 Speaker 2: they got an award for something. Let's just say. I'm like, 1003 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 2: but is it the award or is it like, am 1004 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 2: I not feeling worthy? 1005 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:06,839 Speaker 1: Like? 1006 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,399 Speaker 2: It really helps you to break down what you need 1007 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 2: to work on as soon as you realize your reaction 1008 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 2: to someone's joy has brought you not joy, like anything 1009 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 2: but joy. 1010 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:18,720 Speaker 3: I think that's gross. 1011 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, because you're looking at the 1012 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,920 Speaker 1: thing and you're seeing what it means about you and 1013 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 1: what's coming up for you. I had this thought the 1014 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:31,280 Speaker 1: other day around people in the spirituality space, like being frauds. 1015 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, and then I was like, Okay, 1016 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: well if that's my thought, then where am I a fraud? 1017 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1018 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 1: You always have to turn it around because like, what 1019 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,040 Speaker 1: are you looking for in people? And that can and 1020 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,120 Speaker 1: I think what people can be that can be scary 1021 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 1: for people to look at themselves. My hope is that 1022 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 1: people just create a soft internal landscape for themselves to 1023 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:54,400 Speaker 1: explore the thoughts, explore the ideas, like to be like, Okay, 1024 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 1: maybe I am a fraud, maybe I'm not a fraud. 1025 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:57,879 Speaker 3: Like it's safe in here. 1026 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 1: It's safe in my mind to have this exploration in 1027 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,640 Speaker 1: this conversation. Because if we're not safe within ourselves to 1028 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 1: be messy, to be judgmental, to be catty, to not 1029 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: be happy for people, we're not safe anywhere. And so 1030 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,240 Speaker 1: saying yes to all of the sticky thoughts and feelings, 1031 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 1: I think is such a beautiful practice and really is 1032 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:16,879 Speaker 1: what helps us grow. 1033 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 2: I think about that even with online comments. It's like 1034 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 2: whenever there are somebody that will be said and I'm 1035 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 2: like whatever, whatever, and then there'll be one I'm like, yeah, 1036 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 2: when you get triggered, and then and then I have 1037 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,000 Speaker 2: to think, why did that trigger me? And why am 1038 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,399 Speaker 2: I sending them a voice back. 1039 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 3: Why did I send them a picture of this? 1040 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 2: Why did I send them an explanation? What am I 1041 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 2: trying to for all. 1042 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 1: That are like we love you, Roddy, we love you, 1043 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 1: and this person's like you suck and you're like, hey, 1044 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 1: let me talk to. 1045 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,360 Speaker 3: You about that. Let's have a conversation about what you 1046 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 3: don't like about me? 1047 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,879 Speaker 2: And it really is a mirror, isn't it? 1048 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 1: Like a I have a hot take that I think 1049 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,400 Speaker 1: social media and the internet can be such a powerful 1050 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 1: mirror for us of that we need to grow. Where 1051 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 1: are you outsourcing your intuition and your power? What are 1052 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 1: the things that come up? Because I will notice that 1053 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 1: too when I have certain comments where I'm like, ooh, 1054 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 1: that one was for me to see to grow and 1055 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: integrate and like let go of because yeah I can. 1056 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,319 Speaker 1: It's not my favorite thing. 1057 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, it happens. 1058 00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 2: For people who struggle. You said with the purpose, do 1059 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 2: you have like a framework of things that people can 1060 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,680 Speaker 2: go through in their mind or writing down? For Okay, 1061 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 2: I actually don't know what I'm supposed to do here. 1062 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 2: What are the first like three steps I can take? Yeah? 1063 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 1: I think the first thing for purpose and just to 1064 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 1: frame it, I was someone that wanted so desperately in 1065 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 1: my life to find purpose. I was so anxious and 1066 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,719 Speaker 1: so depressed because I wanted to find my purpose and 1067 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,839 Speaker 1: it was so hard for me, you know, in my mind, 1068 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: because I felt like I had to be doing something 1069 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:52,360 Speaker 1: that was on purpose. 1070 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,919 Speaker 3: I think the first thing is really thinking about what. 1071 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: You're naturally good at and if you need support in 1072 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,399 Speaker 1: that and understanding what you're naturally good at. I love 1073 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 1: the practice of asking people that you love, your friends, 1074 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 1: your family to reflect back to you what you're naturally 1075 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,919 Speaker 1: good at. So this can be like, hey, mom, where 1076 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 1: do you see me shining or thriving? Like where do 1077 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: you think I'm naturally good at things? This can be 1078 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,319 Speaker 1: asking friends or family. I suggest asking the people that 1079 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 1: are the best speakers, communicators. You know, maybe not the 1080 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: friend that you kind of have an off feeling about, 1081 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 1: Like ask the people that you know are going to 1082 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 1: give you the right answer. They can help mirror back 1083 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: to you where you could use these natural skills, gifts, 1084 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 1: and abilities. I think as a second place, see where 1085 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,440 Speaker 1: you feel and flow. So for me, as a podcast 1086 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 1: host and you know someone that teaches and speaks, I 1087 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: am most in flow when i'm teaching, I'm most in 1088 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 1: flow when I'm podcasting, and I didn't really know that 1089 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 1: until we got into it. But now I can see 1090 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,400 Speaker 1: back in life that when I'm in conversation with people 1091 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 1: that feels deep, that's where. 1092 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 3: I'm in flow. 1093 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,479 Speaker 1: And so notice where you're in flow, which is really 1094 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 1: really helpful. And then I think third, redefining purpose. I 1095 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 1: think people feel like their purpose is thing external, their 1096 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,760 Speaker 1: purpose is something that makes the money, and their purpose 1097 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,840 Speaker 1: is their job. If your purpose here as a soul 1098 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: was to experience and experiment in life, what would you 1099 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 1: do what with the joy that you would follow? What 1100 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,640 Speaker 1: was the thing that you really just feel lit up 1101 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 1: by and excited by? 1102 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:18,840 Speaker 3: And I think when we can kind of let. 1103 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 1: Go of the idea that purpose is this really big 1104 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 1: thing outside of us that means we have to be 1105 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,399 Speaker 1: on stage in Madison Square Garden and do all these 1106 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,759 Speaker 1: crazy things, it can get so much easier to remember that, like, 1107 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: our soul is here for purpose, the purpose of our 1108 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,320 Speaker 1: existence is to be here now, and really just seeing 1109 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 1: that as less pressure. 1110 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 3: I was going to say that bird's eye view is 1111 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 3: just so helpful. 1112 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,200 Speaker 4: I think purpose holds so much charge these days people 1113 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 4: feel like, well, if I am not on purpose, then 1114 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 4: you know, I must be off my path, you know. 1115 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 4: And I think we are the purpose, you know, and 1116 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 4: we are always on our path. 1117 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 1: You know. 1118 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 4: I think I got tripped up so much because I 1119 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 4: thought I wasn't on my path. But you know, whether 1120 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 4: it feels like a zig or zag, it's always the 1121 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:09,839 Speaker 4: same path and providing lessons and support and guidance for 1122 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 4: more of becoming who you really are. 1123 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 1: You know. 1124 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:16,240 Speaker 3: How do you see purpose? 1125 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 2: How do I see purpose? 1126 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 1: You know? 1127 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 2: I've watched so many people who I feel have lived 1128 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 2: their purpose. One of them is my spiritual teacher that's 1129 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,200 Speaker 2: staying with me right now, has had been a month 1130 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 2: for fifty years, and his sole purpose has been to 1131 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:35,080 Speaker 2: share God and goodness with the world. Like that you 1132 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 2: can really believe that goodness exists in the world, and 1133 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 2: not through speaking but through acting, not through like saying 1134 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,400 Speaker 2: you should do something, but through literally being that person 1135 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 2: and allowing people to see it and want what you've got. 1136 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 2: Like whatever you're doing, I want to do. It is 1137 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,400 Speaker 2: how I feel when I'm around him. I see purposes 1138 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 2: constantly being lost and found. That's been my experience of it. 1139 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,879 Speaker 2: I was actually going to call this podcast lost and Found, 1140 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,520 Speaker 2: because I really felt like feel like you expect once 1141 00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 2: you're found, you're found, and once you've got it, you've 1142 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,080 Speaker 2: got it. And this, as soon as I've grabbed it, 1143 00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 2: this is it. It's gonna be like this, and I'm 1144 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 2: gonna be holding it with like a torch above me 1145 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 2: all the time. And actually it's similar to what you 1146 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 2: were saying about Sassin return. I actually think the point 1147 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 2: of life is the lost in the found is just 1148 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,320 Speaker 2: as much there as the lost, and both go together, 1149 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,320 Speaker 2: and you will know what found is without being lost. 1150 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 2: And I don't think you have to see the loss 1151 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 2: as being a negative thing, because without without exploring different paths, 1152 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 2: which is what usually do when you're lost, without trying 1153 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 2: to look in the places which you wouldn't normally when 1154 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:44,360 Speaker 2: you've lost something, you wouldn't actually be able to explore 1155 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:49,240 Speaker 2: to figure out what found means. And so I struggle 1156 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 2: with this question because I feel like my purpose has 1157 00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,680 Speaker 2: changed through time, and I do think there's been periods 1158 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 2: of my life where my purpose has been to serve 1159 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,320 Speaker 2: my family, and that has been so when I felt 1160 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:05,040 Speaker 2: at home, and then there's been times when my grandma 1161 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 2: was in hospital like two years ago. I stayed with 1162 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,839 Speaker 2: her and my purpose was solely to look after her 1163 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 2: and serve her, and that was like everything I wanted. 1164 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 2: Nothing else mattered in that moment. And then there's been 1165 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,239 Speaker 2: times where I felt like, when I moved to New York, 1166 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,800 Speaker 2: my purpose was to support Jay and support him through 1167 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 2: what he was going through and what I wanted at 1168 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 2: the time. Honestly, I didn't want it to matter, and 1169 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,319 Speaker 2: it didn't because he wasn't expecting it. But I felt like, 1170 00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 2: as a person, that's where I wanted to be. And 1171 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 2: now I feel like my purpose has been like, oh okay, 1172 00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,320 Speaker 2: I now feel I've learned so much along the way. 1173 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,799 Speaker 2: Serving others has become that purpose, and I notice that 1174 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,799 Speaker 2: it is what I'm supposed to be doing, because when 1175 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,799 Speaker 2: i start doing things for another motive, or I'm doing 1176 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,040 Speaker 2: partnerships that don't feel right, or I'm making money in 1177 00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 2: ways that I actually feel a bit, I don't want 1178 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 2: to be sharing that with people. I know it's because 1179 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,440 Speaker 2: the ultimate purpose for me is if I'm not serving 1180 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 2: them in the right way, it feels wrong. And that 1181 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,359 Speaker 2: might change as time goes on, But yeah, I think 1182 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 2: I see purpose is something that for me changes. It 1183 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,000 Speaker 2: may be the same for someone for the whole life. 1184 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,680 Speaker 1: But that was stunning. Yeah, I loved Almah revd Up. 1185 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 1: But you know, and you were like following the call 1186 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 1: of your soul in each of these moments. You're like 1187 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: serving the moment. You're serving what your values, you're serving, 1188 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,200 Speaker 1: what is meaningful and matters to you. And what you 1189 00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,400 Speaker 1: even said at the beginning about your teacher, like he 1190 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 1: serves God and goodness. Yeah, sounds like a great purpose 1191 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,080 Speaker 1: to me. And it sounds like something too that anyone 1192 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 1: can do, you know. I like when people can kind 1193 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 1: of and even for myself, this is medicine. Like what 1194 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 1: could the purpose be that I could do every day? 1195 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,320 Speaker 1: I can serve goodness in God, just like you said exactly. 1196 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 1: I can do this right now in this moment. I 1197 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 1: can do this with the barista. I can do this 1198 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,440 Speaker 1: with the uber driver. I can do this with my family. 1199 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,480 Speaker 1: You know, Like, what is the thing that you could 1200 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,759 Speaker 1: truly do every day that's going to make your life 1201 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,000 Speaker 1: better and make the world better. And it doesn't need 1202 00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,080 Speaker 1: to be big, it doesn't need to be grand. It 1203 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:00,120 Speaker 1: can be simple and. 1204 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,719 Speaker 2: It can look different every day, Like the way you 1205 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 2: do the way you live your purpose won't look the 1206 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 2: same every day externally or internally. And I think that 1207 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,799 Speaker 2: that's really important too, because sometimes you think, okay, that 1208 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 2: means I, like me living in my purpose means I 1209 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 2: have to put out a video every single day or 1210 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 2: I'm not so. 1211 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,919 Speaker 4: Otherwise when people get confused, like me, livery purpose seven 1212 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 4: tiktoxic day And there's. 1213 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 1: No shade to that because no, if that's in flow, 1214 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: if that feels aligned, if that's your values, it's all good. 1215 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's like, where does it come from? 1216 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 1: This thing that feels good and beautiful? And just like 1217 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: on that soul level to like the mind and the 1218 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,360 Speaker 1: human that keeps us trapped and small. 1219 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,480 Speaker 2: That was really lovely in the conversation, I was wondering 1220 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 2: whether there's a quote or any kind of message that 1221 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:53,840 Speaker 2: has been in your heart or mind in the last 1222 00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 2: couple of months or for your life that keeps coming back. 1223 00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 2: I guess I like saying a mantra, but you know, 1224 00:57:59,000 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 2: it can be anything. 1225 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 1: In the book, we say you're not behind, You're becoming, 1226 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: And I just love that sentiment and that phrase because 1227 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 1: for so long I felt like I was behind.

It's not that I 1296 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,040 Speaker 4: want to be them, It's not that I want to 1297 01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 4: have what they have. It's that I want to have 1298 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,400 Speaker 4: that joy in myself, that contentment in what I have 1299 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:21,840 Speaker 4: to be able to give to other people. 1300 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:23,920 Speaker 3: It's such a beautiful. 1301 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:27,520 Speaker 4: Feeling to know that for me, jealousy or dissatisfaction come 1302 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,000 Speaker 4: when I don't understand who I am and I don't 1303 01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 4: understand what I have to give to other people.
