A 85 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 3: couple of years ago. 86 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: We had a sacred care turn ceremony at the home 87 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: and both of you joined, which is so beautiful, and 88 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm so excited to have you back on the show. 89 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: Alexis Ali. I'm so excited to have you on the 90 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: show for the first time, and I want to start 91 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: by just getting to understand how you too became friends 92 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: and how you met. I think it's always beautiful for 93 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: our audience to hear how two powerhouse humans have come 94 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: together to create beautiful things in the world. You also 95 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: have your podcast releasing this summer, I believe, and it's 96 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 1: called Easy A Easy. 97 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 3: I love that title. 98 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: I love the movie so Easy A coming out this 99 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: summer as well, and you're launching that together. But I'd 100 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: love to hear the origin story of how this relationship 101 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: became to be, so I'll leave it to you to 102 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: figure out how do you tell that story. 103 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: It was a super synchronistic one. We met when we 104 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: were what twelve, thirteen, eleven eleven. She remembers everything. I 105 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: just had jokes here and there. We became very very close, 106 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: very quickly. I think one of the reasons that we 107 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: always stayed friends was we never held each other to 108 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: a certain type of relationship. We were very fluid with 109 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 2: our friendship. But it didn't really cement until my mom 110 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: got sick. When that started to happen to my family, 111 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: her mom stepped in, her whole family stepped in, and 112 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: then when my mom passed, they actually adopted me, and 113 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: I actually moved in with them, and her mom taught 114 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: me about taxes and business and got me into all 115 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 2: sorts of book Mary Williamson kind of set me on 116 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 2: my path and reminded me of who I was. And 117 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: then after that we just knew that this was going 118 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: to be a lifelong relationship and a very unique one 119 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: that because we're actually kind of pull her off plus 120 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: couldn't be more different. I think because of that, we 121 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: blend really nicely with each other. And we always knew 122 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: there was going to be some kind of path, divine 123 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: path for us, but we didn't know what and how, 124 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: And for a while we just kind of let each 125 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: other go off and do different things. I went more 126 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: of the traditional Hollywood route, and then she went and 127 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 2: started traveling. And we always have this funny joke like 128 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: I'll take care of our outsides and she takes care 129 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: of our insides, and like that's how we got to 130 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: do this. And then things started manifesting for us to 131 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: actually start working together. When Warriors was founded in twenty twenty, 132 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: it morphed into so many different things. But then at 133 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: one point I was like, it would make so much 134 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: sense to bring Ali on here because she's literally she's 135 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: my other hearts, she's my other brain. I trust her 136 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: opinion as much as I trust my own, and so 137 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 2: bringing her on to Weird Warriors just felt right. And 138 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: then through that, she's really helped me just harness and 139 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 2: strengthen what that community does for the girls and for 140 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: everyone in it. And so far we've already tackled like 141 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: almost ten thousand girls in and out of that community. 142 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: And it's pretty insane because now we've actually become the 143 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: big sister mentors and yeah, essentially become the girls that 144 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: we needed when we were flailing around being like, what 145 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 2: is our papist? The weight of the world on our shoulders, 146 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: we need to save the earth. And now we're just 147 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: kind of coming back around to that joyful playfulness and 148 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: seeing where it takes us. And then Warriors kind of 149 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: got us ready for the podcast, and that was really 150 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: nice because because it's gated, we had this opportunity to 151 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: just learn how to speak to a crowd and learn 152 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 2: how to host essentially because it is a talent and 153 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: you're one of the best, I will say, my goodness, gracious, 154 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: like no one tops to you. And so through that 155 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: we got really comfortable with being able to balance each 156 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: other out in that way, and then it just made sense. 157 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: And of course, selfishly, there's so many people me and 158 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: Ali want to talk to. We've always just been so 159 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 2: curious about different people of all landscapes. I'm sure that's 160 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: one of the reasons. You also got into it, because 161 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: it's just so cool you have an excuse to just 162 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: speak to anyone that you've ever wanted to, and so 163 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: now we actually have that excuse to do that. 164 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think Warriors is really a love 165 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 4: letter to her mom, because she was always into the 166 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 4: holistic health stuff of you know, acupuncture and meditation, and 167 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 4: so she really introduced me to all of that. So 168 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 4: it just feels like she almost brought us together for Warriors. 169 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 4: But to your point, I think the beautiful thing is 170 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 4: we've never held each other hostage to a specific version 171 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 4: or you know, judge each other for our choices or 172 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 4: tried to change one another. And so for me, it's 173 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 4: been my greatest example of a healthy love exactly. 174 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: We really taught each other how to communicate in the 175 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: hardest ways possibility. 176 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: You know, well, that's actually when I was thinking about 177 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: when I was preparing for this interview. That was actually 178 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: what was on my heart that I wanted to understand 179 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: how you do that and even hearing you both describe 180 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: it as we've allowed this relationship to be fluid, and 181 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: it's taken on many forms. I think when you're young, especially, 182 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: we have this idea of this is my best friend, 183 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: and this is my next best friend, and. 184 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: This person's right. 185 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: We live in this kind of very binary world when 186 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: we're kids, and so we do put people in boxes 187 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: and we do label people. And then sometimes those labels 188 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: last as we get older, and sometimes they fade away, 189 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: and sometimes we still act like kids even when we're 190 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: older with how we see our relationships. How did you 191 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: both develop that ability to allow each other to be 192 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: who you were separately, Like you just said, Alexis, you 193 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: were like I went down the Hollywood route, you know, Ali, 194 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: you went traveling. You went seems like down the healing 195 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: route quite as a priority externally as well. Even though 196 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: Alexis was doing that internally, but her external career was different. 197 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: How did you allow each other to be who you 198 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: were independently but still respect each other and connect because 199 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: I think that seems to be a big need in 200 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: our world today, whether it's friendships, whether it's romantic relationships, 201 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: whether it's business and professional relationships. I think we live 202 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: at a time when it's so easy to judge each other. 203 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: How did you develop that over time? Was it always 204 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: like that or was there a time when you like, oh, 205 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, she sewed out or she's like did you 206 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: have those assumptions about each other? 207 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 4: I mean we butt heads, of course because we're opposites, 208 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 4: but our north stars are the same. And I think 209 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 4: that's what sees us through is there's something so much 210 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 4: bigger than us. And you know, especially because we made 211 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 4: it through the loss of her mom together, it didn't 212 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 4: really matter if we were fighting because I'm going to talk. 213 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: To you next week. 214 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 4: We're family and so, you know, I think when you 215 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 4: have such a clear devotion to someone, it doesn't really 216 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 4: matter what shape it takes. 217 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: It reminds me of that one poem where you talk 218 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: about the marriage and how the guy was like, I've 219 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: been married for x amount of years and someone was like, 220 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: I'll let you. I'm butchering it, but gone. 221 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 4: So I watched this interview of these couples who had 222 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 4: been together for sixty plus years, and there was one 223 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 4: that had been together for sixty seven and the interviewer 224 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 4: looks at the husband and says, how have you been 225 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 4: with the same woman for so long? And he says, 226 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 4: she hasn't been the same woman at all. 227 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so much evolution and so much growth, But 228 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: I guess that's what it is, right. I feel like 229 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: as humans, we have a resistance to other people growing, 230 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: just as we have a limitation on who we can be, 231 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: and we almost extend that limitation to others as well. 232 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: When you saw each other grow in different ways, maybe 233 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: incongruent ways, random ways, what allowed you to have difficult 234 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: but healthy conversations around that? And I'm speaking from my 235 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: personal experience, even I've only been with Radi for eleven 236 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: years only, and no, but in the. 237 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: Sense of compared to sixty seven. 238 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, like, we've been together for 239 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: eleven years, and I agree with that statement completely, Like 240 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: Radi has transformed in so many ways in the last 241 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: eleven years since I met her, I fully agree with that, 242 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: but that evolution requires two people to sign up to 243 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: that and subscribe to that. So with those moments where 244 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: you saw each other going through these big or small 245 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: changes and how did you adapt with each. 246 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: Other, we would definitely trigger each other. But then we 247 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 2: had enough wisdom where we knew when there was a trigger, 248 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: there was a path we had to take in order 249 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: to get through that ego and then into the growth part. 250 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 2: So and we also we truly do love watching each 251 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 2: other grow. It gives us a lot of joy. And 252 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: we've also never held each other back. If I disagree 253 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: with her, for instance, I will state that truth immediately. 254 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: I'll be like, I disagree with you, but I absolutely 255 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: respect your decision. I'm gonna love you no matter what, 256 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: you know, whatever happens, I was right. She loves to 257 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: always be right, and she usually is. That's the unfortunate thing. 258 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 2: But then I think that's always the nuanced way to communicate. 259 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 2: Is I just you have to voice that, because if 260 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 2: you don't, then there's this pacific there's this resentment that 261 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 2: builds in the relationship, and then you can't harness authenticity. 262 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: So with her, it's like I have to state this, 263 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: but I also am gonna let you be you. And 264 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 2: so that's always been our rule with each other, is 265 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: that we kind of dance on the ashes of who 266 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 2: we once were, and we never hold each other to 267 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 2: this idea of who we're supposed to be. But she's 268 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: also just become such an incredible woman, and it's been 269 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: so almost a real watching it happen, because you've known 270 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: each other since you were twelve. It's just I mean, 271 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: I always think if I would have told twelve year 272 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: old Ali that you were speaking in front of five 273 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 2: hundred people at conferences and traveling all of the world 274 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 2: doing spoken word, it would that twelve year old you 275 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: would literally run into a closet, like what is actually 276 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: going on right now? But I think that's also when 277 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 2: we hold each other accountable for growth, that's the main thing, 278 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 2: because there's going to be a lot of friction with 279 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: that always I've noticed in my own life and I'm 280 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 2: assuming with you as well. Wherever there's the most resistance, 281 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: there's also the most transformation. And we've always had actually 282 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: the most resistance in our friendship, Like we've gone through 283 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 2: so many different versions of ourselves. We've stopped talking for 284 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 2: six months we've gone I think our limit was like 285 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 2: a year without talking, and then we always like got 286 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: back into it. It's almost that feminine energy of just 287 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 2: letting it flow as opposed to trying to put this 288 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 2: like expectation of the friendship, because I think that is 289 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: why relationships in any shape or form kind of become stagnant, 290 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: because we're holding this idea of someone to them and 291 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: then they resent it because they're trying to grow our 292 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: ego's heart because you don't want them to move out 293 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: of that box that you're so comfortable that they're being. 294 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: And this happens weekly with us, I think, a really honest, 295 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: vulnerable relationship, it's an almost daily thing we have to 296 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: go through. But then it's fun because now we look 297 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 2: at who we are as like these little avatars, and 298 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: we can add different attributes to each other and just 299 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: be like I think I want to be funnier or 300 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: I think I want to, you know, be grittier or 301 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: like and we just we have these really honest conversations 302 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 2: with about ourselves and then we build together, like truly 303 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: we've built ourselves together. And then of course that over 304 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: you know that the energy of my mom kind of 305 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: always being there. It feels really divine and sacred, and 306 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: I think that really is what drives everything we do. 307 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was put on Riddlin and adderall and just 308 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 4: different add medications super young, around like ten or eleven, 309 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 4: and it kind of snuffed out my creativity. And her 310 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 4: mom was one of the people that helped turn. 311 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 2: My light on inside. 312 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 4: And so there is just this greater devotion to her 313 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 4: that I feel. And I think our culture, Western culture 314 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 4: is particularly noncommittal. There's almost this one foot in, one 315 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 4: foot out. We have so many options. I don't know 316 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 4: which one to take, but there's actually a freedom that 317 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 4: happens when you just fully plant both feet on the 318 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 4: ground and say, like, this is what I'm committed to. 319 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: It's contradicting, it's so contradicting. 320 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 4: But I think also because it's not a romantic relationship, 321 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 4: but there's so much room to breathe, you know, there 322 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 4: there are way less expectations, and because we're fully committed 323 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 4: to each other, we just figure it out. Like now, 324 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 4: we communicate a lot better by writing each other letters 325 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 4: because if we step on a tender spe but and 326 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 4: it gets. 327 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: Really reactive emotion. Feel now conclusion now, and she's like 328 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: five to ten business days please, And so we really 329 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 2: had like I need to withtrash. It's like I need 330 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: to explode. I'm like, how about a letter? 331 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 4: So it's that it's finding whatever it can be a 332 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 4: bridge between you. 333 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: What was the reason that you went on the medications 334 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: and then what talked to me about the journey of 335 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: finding your way with that? Because it sounds like obviously 336 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: right now creativity is by the way, if anyone has 337 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: not seen I'm speaking to the audience right now, if 338 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: any of you have not seen, Ali and Alexis performed 339 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: spoken word together insane. 340 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 3: That was amazing. 341 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: But I remember seeing that common to her immediately. I 342 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: remember it coming out. I think I even shared it. 343 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 3: It came up. 344 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: I think it was on my TikTok feed or maybe 345 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: it was on Instagram. But that was spectacular. It was 346 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: so good, Like how I don't know how long it 347 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: took you to write it, and you're both going to 348 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: say like two hours or something, but it was believe 349 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: it was so good, like it was so powerful, like 350 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: every line. So obviously you've tapped into that now and 351 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: that seems to be the greatest part of your expression. 352 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: But to hear that actually, based on the medications you 353 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: were on, that was dampened. Walk us through that a 354 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: little bit, just to give the audience context. 355 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 4: I just think there's so many different types of intelligence, 356 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 4: and I have a natural inclination towards creative and emotional intelligence. 357 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 4: But my sister, for example, had like a semi photographic 358 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 4: memory and just got incredible grades and was very smart 359 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 4: in a specific way. And so when you're in school 360 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 4: and the system is kind of a one size fits 361 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 4: all for the most part, it's very difficult as a 362 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 4: kid to have high self esteem if that's not a 363 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 4: value that's within the school. 364 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: And so her mom, you know, was. 365 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 4: Such a huge help in that of no, this is 366 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 4: really valuable, Like, no, you are intuitive, No, it's okay, 367 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 4: Like you can express your creativity. 368 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 2: She had to deal with me and being like I 369 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 2: can't do math, and she's like, it's okay, your value 370 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 2: somewhere else. Everyone has. 371 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 4: No really, everyone has their deck of cards to play. 372 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 4: Some people are like goodwill hunting, you know, and some 373 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 4: people are like art, and some people can grow the 374 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 4: perfect flower. And it's all should weigh equally on a scale. 375 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 4: In my opinion, So I think it was that journey 376 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 4: of just learning to believe in myself in that way 377 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 4: and place value on my gifts that maybe society didn't. 378 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 3: Oh that's so beautiful. 379 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: I want to come back to that because I love 380 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: that theme and I love the examples you just shared that. 381 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: I was watching an interview, or at least a clip 382 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: of an interview where Melinda Gates, who just came on 383 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: the show. She was interviewing Oprah has been on the show, 384 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: and Gail King and so Milinda's interviewing them, and it's 385 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: all about female friendships and relationships. And Oprah said something 386 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: that really stood out to me. She said that the 387 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: reason why she's been able to be friends with Gail 388 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: for so long is because she's one of the few 389 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: people who's not been envious of her. And I was 390 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: thinking about that, and it really resonated with me, and 391 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: I started to realize how all the friendships I had 392 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: that have lasted on non envious friendships, and all the friendships, 393 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: business partnerships, even relationships romantic relationships that didn't last or 394 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: had envy in them somewhere, whether someone was envious or 395 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: insecure about you, whether someone was envious in a business sense, 396 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: whether someone was envious. I remember guy friends when you 397 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: were teenagers being like, oh, let's see who can get 398 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: more numbers tonight from girls? And I'm like, why does 399 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: it have to be that? I thought we were friends? 400 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: Like when did this turn into a competition? And it's 401 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: interesting how what starts off as innocent teenage competitiveness kind 402 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: of can transcend into our adult life as well. Talk 403 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: to me as to how you keep envy at bay 404 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: in a friendship like this and a business partnership like this, 405 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: because I think it is the crux of the quality 406 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: of relationship you have, and it's not talked about enough. 407 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: I think it's a really uncomfortable, awkward thing to talk about. 408 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: But I genuinely believe that my best friend, who was 409 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: my best man at my wedding, the reason why we're 410 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: best friends and have been for the past twenty years 411 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: is because he's not envious in me, and I'm not 412 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: envious of him. Even that doesn't mean that I'm not 413 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: proud of him and I don't admire him and he 414 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: doesn't that of me. But there isn't that sense. Would 415 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: you agree? Would you disagree? How do you feel I 416 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: want to hear about it? From you guys. 417 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: For me personally, it always makes me like my lovely. 418 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 2: My love language is like helping people become better. I 419 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 2: think that's acts of service in a form. We call 420 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: it ratification improvement. I love. I love helping people improve. 421 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 2: I always have this like vision for them, and I 422 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 2: get really excited when I can help, you know, make 423 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 2: that vision come to life. So and and for me, 424 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 2: I always, you know, coming from the homeschooling background, I 425 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: never felt intelligently adequate enough. And but she was, you know, 426 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 2: in her own rights, so intelligent, and so I think 427 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 2: we almost reassured each other, you know. For her, she 428 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 2: was insecure about you know, you know, in that awkward 429 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: teenage phase, and I was just way too confident at 430 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 2: that age. So we mediated each other. 431 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 4: I was had a University of Racist and she was 432 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 4: a Lexus run. 433 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: Let's just but we we we validated each other where 434 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: our wounds were most apparent. And that's why there is 435 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 2: no envy, because I almost look at her as like 436 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 2: the same way I would look at myself, like a 437 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: project that I that I helped create, that I helped, 438 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 2: you know, and vice versa. She she helped me. Really, 439 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't be who truly, I wouldn't be 440 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: who I am without you, and even thinking to our 441 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 2: first you know, conversation on this podcast, it was so 442 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 2: much of the things that I said, you know, we're 443 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 2: in honor of her, and conversations that I've had with 444 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 2: her they gave and shot at her out in the book. 445 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: I was just like, Ali, yeah, I just I wouldn't 446 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: have believed in my depth if it wasn't for her, 447 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 2: just really calmly next to me, being like, you're good, 448 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: you got this, you have it too, and me vice 449 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: versa with you know, wearing that dress or doing those 450 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 2: you know, more of those exterior things of like not 451 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: like the time is now, like put on that dress, 452 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 2: let's get your like just caring so much so that 453 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: it's okay to care about it, because I think when 454 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 2: you're so vulnerable about a specific attribute that you don't 455 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 2: feel confident in, you almost want to pretend not to 456 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: care about it because you're like, ah, like I don't 457 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 2: care about how I look her. It's fine, I don't 458 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: care if I know math or whatever. But it's actually 459 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 2: where you care deeply. 460 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 4: But you're also like I should say, Alexis is like 461 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 4: a genie, and she makes her friend streams her dreams. 462 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 4: Like she went to a corporate company to the head, 463 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 4: marched on his office and said, you're going to hire 464 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 4: my friend, and how do you? 465 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 3: Was there? 466 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 4: Actually there was no position, like this didn't exist, and 467 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 4: she convinced this owner of a really successful company to 468 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 4: just create a position for her friend because she was 469 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 4: in an unhealthy job setting. And so Alexis just does 470 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 4: this for everyone. Like our other friend almost lost her 471 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 4: script and she was calling eight different agents. She's just 472 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 4: really supportive. And I think that's the beauty is she's 473 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 4: the archetype of the ruler, which means she serves her people, 474 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 4: and so she makes everyone's dreams belong to her. And 475 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 4: I think that's the key, is like you have to 476 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 4: nurture your friend's dreams like they're your own too. 477 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 2: And the mudicians, so tell them, tell them a little 478 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: bit about that. 479 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've done. 480 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: This actually with the community. 481 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 4: There's there's a book by Carol Pearson and I think 482 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 4: it's called the Twelve Archetypes or something that but if 483 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 4: you look. 484 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 2: At them, thank you. 485 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 4: But it goes to the twelve major archetypes within our 486 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 4: subconscious and a lot of it is based on Carl 487 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 4: Jung's psychology, and I personally love storytelling in fairy tales 488 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 4: as a way to translate wisdom. And so there's this 489 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 4: book called erth c as well, where this young sorcerer 490 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 4: releases a demon shadow into the world, and the way 491 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 4: that he stops it is he gives it his own name. 492 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 4: And so by naming the shadow, it ceases to have power. 493 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 4: And when you use these kind of archetypes, rather than 494 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 4: clinging to one identity of like I am this, I 495 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 4: am that, I'm a Pisces, I'm a you know, Capricorn, whatever. 496 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 2: It is, I'm a three. 497 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 4: And he's like, this is the aspect of my subconscious 498 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 4: that I'm wielding right now with this different archetype, And 499 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 4: so it creates more compassionate understanding, and to me, it 500 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 4: also helps me name my shadow a lot clearer. 501 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 2: So yeah, and that's why I love the archetypes, because 502 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 2: it's you're never one. It's just what you're building with 503 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 2: right now. So you could go back and look, Okay, 504 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 2: the orphan archetype needs more work, or you were saying, America, 505 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 2: actually the lard we have the most connection to the 506 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: orphan archetype because we all kind of come here for 507 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 2: this dream or come here from other places, and it's 508 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 2: kind of the like do I belong here? Where do 509 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 2: I belong? So I think different countries to also build 510 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 2: on different archetypes depending on their culture. So it's really interesting. 511 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 2: And what I found the most funny about all of 512 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 2: this was the ruler and the magician have this really 513 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 2: interesting relationship. It's the most volatile pairing. 514 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 3: I love that because so. 515 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 4: Look at King Arthur and Merlin. That's a great example. 516 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 4: They're equally important to each other. But the downfall of 517 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 4: that would be like a tyrant king I think Geoffrey 518 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 4: from Game of Thrones or something, and then ja'far from Aladdin. 519 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 2: It's the evil sorcerer and then the wicked ruler. 520 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 4: And so we hold each other accountable in that way 521 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 4: if we're sitting at two opposite ends of this power spectrum, 522 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 4: and we keep each other from slipping into like evil 523 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 4: sorcer and tyyrant. 524 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 2: Whenever we're having a disagreement, I'm like, am I being 525 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: a tired Okay, we're just gonna write a letter like 526 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 2: please don't unname me. 527 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 4: But I just love looking at people like characters and 528 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 4: books because it creates so much more compassion, because if 529 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 4: you had a perfect character, it would be really boring 530 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 4: to read about. You know. It's all those idiosyncrasies that 531 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 4: make them so unique. 532 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 2: So I think that helps too, And that's why I 533 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 2: think that's truly like her perception of that is why 534 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: I've loved myself so much, because all of these little 535 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 2: quirks I've had, She's like, keep going, keep doing it. 536 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 2: Like she'll give me the little check mark in a 537 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 2: conversation with people and I'll just go off. And I 538 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 2: love it because she kind of gives me permission. She's 539 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: a little permission slip to just, yeah, lean into those 540 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 2: quirky parts of me that I felt for a really 541 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: long time I needed to like hold back and keep tight. 542 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 2: And that's been really cool. 543 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 544 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 2: And it's really cool too because her fantasy book, she 545 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 2: put a character in for me, and that was really 546 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 2: cool as well, because reading it, I was like, One, 547 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 2: I'm immortalized, which is crazy. Two I'm awesome, Oh my god, 548 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 2: is this how you perceive me? Yes. Now, whenever someone says, oh, 549 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 2: Run's my favorite character in Ali's book, I'm like. 550 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: What I love about? What it's bringing out for me. 551 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: Going back to the question of envy, is that what 552 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 1: I found is that when you understand your place and 553 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: your pace of growth, which is the archetype, and when 554 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: you understand someone else's place and their pace of growth, 555 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: it allows you to be non envious because it allows 556 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: you to see that you're moving at your own pace 557 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: and you have a place forever, and that that person 558 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: does too. And I find that the reason we experience 559 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: env is because we don't know where we stand and 560 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: we kind of like where someone else stands, even though 561 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: that may not be the platform for us to be on. 562 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: And so it's this constant tug in war between I 563 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: like this person, but I also want to be like them, 564 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: and actually, not only do I want to be like them, 565 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: I don't want them to be liked that much. And 566 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: that's where envy kind of takes over so much of 567 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: a friendship. So I'm so glad you talked about the 568 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: archetypes a little bit. Is there a test that people 569 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: can take, Like, if people want to understand the archetype, 570 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: how would you suggest they go about that? 571 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, Carol Pearson has a website and then if you 572 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 4: get the book too, it's in the book. 573 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: It's a large books. 574 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 4: It's a huge book for a textbook, but I like 575 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 4: it because it's it's fluid. You know, it's not as 576 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 4: awakening the heroes awakening all right. 577 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 3: If anyone's listening. And I love that. 578 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: And you've been teaching that in Warriors as well. That's 579 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: been something that you've been sharing with your community. 580 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 2: Literally anything, we'll just like pick up a book or 581 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 2: we'll have a conversation. I mean, I remember I was 582 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 2: literally last week when to her crying about not going 583 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 2: to say on this podcast. But I was like, and 584 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 2: then she's slowly like, I'm going to write the Warrior 585 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: Workshop and what was it? Navigating the unknown? 586 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 4: There's been so many times when we've just created workshops 587 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 4: around what we're personally experienced because it's resonance, and so yeah, 588 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 4: we'll make workshops around anything that feels very alive in 589 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 4: the moment, because I find the girls are often going 590 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 4: through similar things in their own way. 591 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about that, Actually, what would you say, 592 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: having built this community, You've had thousands of women who've 593 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: been a part of this community. 594 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 3: It's growing. 595 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: If you had to pick and I know this is 596 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: a hard exercise, but I want to do it for 597 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: the basis of our conversation today. If you had to 598 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: pick the top three challenges, and we'll just start with 599 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: the top one challenge that you hear, would you feel 600 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: is that the root of so many women's challenges in 601 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: your community, and of course broader than that too. 602 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 3: What is that? One? 603 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: Two, three? What are those three things? In no particular order, 604 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: but what would you say those themes are that are 605 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: holding women back, that they're constantly perplexed by, that they 606 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: are feeling limited restricted by. 607 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 3: What would they be? 608 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 2: The first one that came to my mind is really 609 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 2: knowing and understanding your own femininity, because I think this 610 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 2: is especially in America, it's very like masculine dominated to 611 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 2: build your empire, blah blah blah, and I think we 612 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 2: get as females, get really lost in that because the female, 613 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 2: you know, energy is to attract and the male energy 614 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: is to like make happen, and both are needed, but 615 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 2: so many girls they kind of spin out, even just 616 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 2: from a biological level, you know, there's we're a different 617 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 2: person every single week. Then they feel like they have 618 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: to like push down the doors the way with that 619 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: masculine energy forever and they're exhausted, being like, is this 620 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 2: live in my dream life? And I'm like, no, it's 621 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 2: just a belief you're having that's probably not helping you. 622 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 2: And so we kind of will help them break down 623 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 2: what those beliefs are. But it usually has to do 624 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 2: with them not honoring their feminity in some way, shape 625 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,719 Speaker 2: or form, and we have to remind each other of 626 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,239 Speaker 2: that because even with the podcast, like this idea of 627 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 2: divine timing has been so helpful because when I, you know, 628 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 2: went into more of the business side of things, it 629 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 2: was like, there's a deadline we have, but no, now, 630 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: even when it didn't feel good, we would just kind 631 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 2: of stick to these deadlines. But with the podcast, it 632 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 2: was like, we're gonna launch this month, No we're not. Okay, 633 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 2: keep it moving, and we just kind of kept waiting 634 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 2: and waiting and waiting until yeah, you're in conversation. Yeah, 635 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 2: And we just kind of waited until it was the 636 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: right moment at the right time, and all all of 637 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 2: the you know, components came together so beautifully, and so 638 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 2: that was what that's when I was like, Okay, there's 639 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 2: this theme happening here. And even with the girls as well. 640 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 2: There's this theme of kind of running up to this 641 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 2: wall and then trying to push it, as opposed to 642 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: letting the opening of the cave, you know, come through 643 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 2: and then walking it. So I think that's definitely one. 644 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 3: Let's talk about that. Let's talk about that together. 645 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: I think that's such a huge one and I'm fascinated 646 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: by it. How does someone start to embrace or encourage 647 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: their feminine energy in a world that's a masculine dominant 648 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: or at least would you describe it as the masculine 649 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: storyline has been Yeah. 650 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 2: It's more the storyline. I think it's just you have 651 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: to break down the beliefs. So you have to understand 652 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 2: what beliefs your It's like the car or what beliefs, 653 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: what wheels the let's say the beliefs are the wheels, 654 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 2: like what is driving you down that way? And then 655 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 2: once you understand, okay, that's those are the beliefs that 656 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 2: have been manifesting this creation, this life. What are the 657 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 2: beliefs that I would like to have? I still remember 658 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 2: I was with a friend and we were walking around 659 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 2: a pond one day and she was like, remember when 660 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 2: we believed things had to be hard? And I was like, 661 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 2: I know, so it. You know, belief is a thought 662 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 2: that you just have over and over and over again 663 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 2: until you think it's just your life and it's ingrained 664 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 2: into you and it's permanent, when it's really not. So 665 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 2: part of that has been just showing people and acting 666 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 2: is taught a lot for me. I've learned so much 667 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 2: about this for acting where I'm like, that's actually you 668 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 2: were so much more fluid, And it really is just 669 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 2: breaking down what these really tall structures are and then 670 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: chiseling at them just little by little, and it probably 671 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 2: not all at once. We usually take like one solid 672 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 2: belief that they have and then either make a workshop 673 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 2: from that and break it down even more. But that 674 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 2: for sure is definitely a way. 675 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: As a creator, my goal is to try and make 676 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: content that makes you happier, healthier, and more healed.

And so 705 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 4: people call it, you know, a surface level or whatever 706 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 4: it might be. But there is like this primal hardware, 707 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 4: secure purity that we're raging against in a way. And 708 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 4: I used to live in a house full of musicians 709 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 4: and there was this one guy who could just belt, 710 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 4: like from the bottom of his soul, and another girl 711 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 4: in the house who could sing so beautifully, but she's 712 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 4: sang very softly, like she was singing into a bottle. 713 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 4: And she finally turns to him and she goes, how 714 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 4: do you sing that way? Like I know that's in me, 715 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 4: but I can't get there. And he says, make an 716 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 4: ugly face, and she makes this like cute little ugly face, 717 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,240 Speaker 4: and he said, I said, make a real ugly face, 718 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 4: and she does, and he said, that's where you need 719 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 4: to sing from. And then she did, and her voice 720 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 4: cracked a little, but she belted. And so it's that 721 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 4: we need permission to kind of break out of this 722 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 4: porcelain suit that we walk around in nowadays, because that's 723 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 4: where our power comes from. 724 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 3: Wow, that's so powerful. 725 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: I mean, that's I feel like all of us can 726 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: relate to that in so many ways, and I feel 727 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: like it's so difficult. It goes back to what Alexis 728 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: was saying earlier, that you've given her the permission to 729 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: have all these quirks and be all of her. And 730 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: I've definitely had that where I feel the people who 731 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: know me the deepest and the most well will say 732 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: to me, Jay, one of the things I love about 733 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: you is I get to talk to you about spirituality, business, 734 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: and media, and there's not many people I could talk 735 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: to about all three of those things, and that's like 736 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: the most It's one of those moments whenever I hear 737 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: that from someone who spent a lot of time with 738 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: me and spend deep time with me, I feel so 739 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: seen because I want to be all those things, and 740 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate all those things, and I admire all those things. 741 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: I want to talk about my monk life as much 742 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: as I want to talk about media, as much as 743 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: I want to talk about marketing like and H and 744 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: I love all of it and I am all of 745 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: it and all of it is me. But I find 746 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: often that I'm forced to choose a box to put 747 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: myself in. It's like, oh, you can either be spiritual 748 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 1: or your material, or you can either be like you're saying, 749 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: you can either be this porcelain doll, or you can 750 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: be ugly or whatever like that, there's a choice there 751 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden like diff finds who you are. 752 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: Talk to me about some of the practices you both 753 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: have developed. I definitely want to talk about the journal 754 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: as well, but talk to me about some of the 755 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 1: practices you've developed, because we all know, all three of 756 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: us know that this isn't as simple as just standing 757 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: in front of the mirror and saying things to yourself. 758 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: That's a part of it. But it's like, this is 759 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: a deep, subconscious belief that we're having to rewire, and 760 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: we're doing it at the same time while the propaganda 761 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: and the broadcasting from the world around us is so 762 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: strongly the other way. And so walk me through some 763 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: of the exercises, maybe some of them that are in 764 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: the journal that you love, some that you've practiced. You 765 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: both keep talking about letters, and I know the journal 766 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: is full of letters. So just maybe give me a 767 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: couple of insights and steps and principles eats that you 768 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: feel have been profound for your own journey, or maybe 769 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: you even have stories of people that you've helped that 770 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: they've practiced some of these techniques. 771 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 2: I feel like all these practices sound like, oh, roll 772 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 2: my eyes, Okay, fine, I'll write a little five minute 773 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 2: journal gratitude whatever. Like you think they're not important, but 774 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 2: when you actually apply them, it's like, whoa a doctor McCall, 775 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 2: he's this wonderful natopathic doctor. Or that we had on 776 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 2: the podcast, he was talking about a way to kind 777 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 2: of deal with a trigger in real time, because I 778 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 2: think every time there's a trigger, there's a little blockage 779 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 2: that happens in our body, and disease is the you know, 780 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 2: physical manifestation of all of these different triggers getting blocked 781 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 2: in no way out. And one of the things that 782 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 2: he said in his book was the second that someone 783 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 2: triggers you, you have to immediately think back and just 784 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 2: be like, okay, why did that trigger me? Go to 785 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,400 Speaker 2: the little the child's self, and then have a quick 786 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 2: in the moment, even if you're with them, you literally 787 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 2: have to do it in my brain. I'm just like, okay, 788 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 2: why did that trigger me? For instance, I was in 789 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 2: the car with a friend and there was my car 790 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,919 Speaker 2: went off and saying that there was a flat tire 791 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 2: and it was the second time this month, and I 792 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 2: was just like ooh, and I braced myself for this 793 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 2: really stressful situation that we were going to have, and 794 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 2: my friend was just like, oh well, and I was like, 795 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 2: and that triggered me that he was so calm about it. 796 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 2: And then I asked myself, why am I triggered by 797 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 2: this tire that it's going to be fine? And then 798 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 2: I'm also double trigger that he was so calm about it. 799 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 2: And I realized because my household was so chaotic, that 800 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 2: one more thing would have blown up the whole, like 801 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 2: just it was just a compilation of triggers, and we 802 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 2: the electricity went out and this went out, and so 803 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,800 Speaker 2: all of these tiny little things created this huge explosion 804 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 2: in my childhood. And so I had this moment where 805 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 2: I just held myself and I was like, it's okay. 806 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 2: Your family's reactions to these little bad things happening was 807 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 2: not valid. It wasn't okay for you to see that 808 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 2: much stress with something that was so easy to fix. 809 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, and you're scene and your love and 810 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 2: it was the first time where the trigger went away 811 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 2: instantly and didn't store into my body. So I think 812 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 2: that was that's been the most transformational thing I've found 813 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 2: right now. 814 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: I love Yeah, while you were talking about that, I 815 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,479 Speaker 1: can think of so many scenarios where I can see 816 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: that as being practical and useful. 817 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it has to you have to do it 818 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 2: the moment. 819 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 3: We don't want to do it because you're. 820 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 2: Like, I'm just triggering. I want to sit in the 821 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 2: hurt because it's. 822 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 3: Valid Yeah, yeah, I know. I love that. 823 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 4: I think whatever I get validated for the most in 824 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 4: life becomes my porcelain suit. 825 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 2: And so for a while, oh so good. I was 826 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,760 Speaker 2: the deep one, and so I couldn't be funny. 827 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 4: I was like, let me speak and bumper sticker and 828 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 4: be as spiritual as possible because that's how I belong. 829 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 2: And so it's about making the ugly face for me. 830 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 4: And I had this poetry mentor and I first started 831 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 4: doing spoken word and I was trying to sound very 832 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 4: melodic and he said, I want you to scream, and 833 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 4: I screamed the poem and he starts smacking me with 834 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 4: a pillow and he's like, now jump up and down 835 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 4: and wave your arms. 836 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, this feels so bad. I don't feel cool 837 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 2: at all. 838 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 4: And that was the point, was to just kind of 839 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 4: slip out of my cool so I could tap into 840 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 4: what was really honest. 841 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's such a I mean, I can relate 842 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: to that. So that to so many guests where I 843 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: just felt like, I just feel like everyone's just waiting 844 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: for me to say something. And at one point I 845 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: really carried it as a weight where I realized I 846 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: stopped listening to people because I was just thinking in 847 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: my head what to say. And then I realized that 848 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: not only was I never going to say something profound 849 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: if I didn't listen, but that maybe sometimes the most 850 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: profound thing to do was to listen. 851 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 3: Like that was it, like it didn't even need a word. 852 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: And I remember a famous statement by Saint Francis where 853 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: he said that you should preach wherever you go and 854 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 1: if necessary, open your mouth. 855 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 3: And I love that. 856 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: It's like that idea of just like you know, we 857 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 1: always feel like, yes, saying the thing is is the thing, 858 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, no, just being present and just 859 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: listening and just being there and like you just said, 860 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: like holding yourself internally during a trigger. 861 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 3: It's not like you had to say something or repeat something. 862 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 2: You get a high off of the wisdom, and then 863 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 2: you don't actually integrate it. At least for me for 864 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 2: a while, whenever I would hear something profound out of 865 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 2: my own mouth or I would I would be like 866 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,839 Speaker 2: cos and write it down, and then it just kind 867 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 2: of became a game as opposed to real integration. I 868 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,720 Speaker 2: can so relate to that, and I resonate so deeply 869 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 2: with what you're saying about just trying to make something 870 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 2: profound in life changing because me and Ali personally are exhausted. 871 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 2: I don't want to be profound fun and then have 872 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 2: a good conversation and if it happens, it happens. It doesn't, 873 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 2: it doesn't, But like letting it be what it is, 874 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 2: as opposed to trying to put the moment in a box. 875 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: In a way, I've seen that with all my friends 876 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: who are you know, successful comedians. I'm sure we have 877 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 1: people in common, like they just feel the pressure that 878 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: if they're not funny at dinner, and they're not funny 879 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: at breakfast, and they're not funny at lunch, it's like 880 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 1: people are going to think, oh, you're not that funny, 881 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: You're not that interesting, and they're like, well, no, there's 882 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: so much more to me. And it's giving yourself that 883 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: permission and also recognizing we live in a society where 884 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: it's like we think when we meet a dentist, they're 885 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: analyzing our teeth, like that's all they must think about today. 886 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 3: And they're not. 887 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: They're not thinking about that, and and but we are. 888 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: And I think that's such an important that's such an 889 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: important tool and principle. I remember when Russ came on 890 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 1: the podcast. He talks about how when all of his 891 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,360 Speaker 1: squad and his crew would come into the studio, he 892 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: would try and act cool, and he'd make the worst music. 893 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: And so he said his favorite thing to do was 894 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,399 Speaker 1: get everyone out the studio and make weird sounds into 895 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,760 Speaker 1: the microphone and stand in weird places and do really 896 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: strange things, kind of like what you're saying, because he 897 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: said that was the only way I could break the mold, 898 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: because if my friends were in there, I was just 899 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,760 Speaker 1: trying to look and sound cool. And I think everyone 900 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 1: has their version of it, whether you're a rapper, whether 901 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: you're a teacher or a guide, or whether you're. 902 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 2: Acting as well like me and my friends, we like 903 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 2: host little acting classes, just the three of us. But 904 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 2: like one of these acting techniques that we do is 905 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 2: just like follow your little child self, Like if you 906 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 2: want to lay down, if you want to look at 907 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 2: yourself the mirror, if you want to jump up down. 908 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 2: It's like knowing what those intuitive pulses are is what 909 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 2: gets you into that flow state. But if you don't 910 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 2: know what it is, and because everyone's different in their 911 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 2: own way and how they pull out the creativity or 912 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 2: the profoundness or the flow state, whatever it is. I 913 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 2: think that's what's so almost ironic about this whole, the 914 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 2: whole spiritual journey, because it's realizing that it was just 915 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 2: supposed to be fun and oh we were just supposed 916 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 2: to be children all along, just like kind of playing 917 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 2: with it and having fun and taking all of that 918 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,760 Speaker 2: weight and knowledge off of it so then wisdom can integrate, 919 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 2: because that was literally our entire life like for the 920 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 2: last two years has just been like, oh. 921 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,439 Speaker 1: Fun, yeah, what What's something else would you say that 922 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,959 Speaker 1: the community struggles with? So we started with that big 923 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: one is what else is there? What else comes up 924 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: for people? 925 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 4: I mean just basic adult things like how to regulate 926 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 4: your own nervous system and do taxes. You know, I 927 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 4: don't know why those are the two most valuable things 928 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 4: as an adult in modern society. 929 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 2: No, yeah, you need to know, but I. 930 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 4: Feel like you're not really prepared for life and traditional schooling, 931 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,799 Speaker 4: and so that's a huge passion. It's just you know, 932 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 4: bringing on financial educators, bringing on breathwork teachers, meditation teachers, 933 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 4: and really just handing tools to these women. It's the 934 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 4: teacher man a fish story, you know. 935 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the that's the difference. It's like, 936 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 2: we're not coming on here being a therapist. We're just 937 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 2: coming on here being big sisters, being like, here are 938 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,920 Speaker 2: the right questions so you can get to your answers, 939 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 2: but that you have to learn how to get there yourself, 940 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,439 Speaker 2: because that's what being a leader is. And that's what's 941 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,439 Speaker 2: so cool because then on the reverse end of that, 942 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 2: watching girls go from seventeen to twenty two years old 943 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 2: and seeing that growth, it is the most fulfilling thing ever. 944 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 2: Just knowing that our work with some of our girls 945 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 2: will go on to their parenting and their life partners 946 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 2: and the people around them and their friends, and it's 947 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 2: just it's incredible to see the ripple effect of that 948 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 2: deeper work. It's so cool because we're like our warriors 949 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 2: are kind of like little light bulbs just glowing walking 950 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 2: around the earth, you know, spreading what it means to 951 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 2: live a fulfilled life and not be afraid of that desire. 952 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 1: And it's amazing you're working with women as young as seventeen, 953 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: and yeah, that's incredible. I love that people are starting 954 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: that early and doing the work and finding that mentorship 955 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 1: and advice because I feel like we're all trying to 956 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: come to as early as we possibly can. 957 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 2: Then I know, it's like that's a competition itself. That's 958 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,479 Speaker 2: something that I've noticed too, is a lot of people 959 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 2: who are older than me, not by much, but they're like, oh, 960 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 2: I wish I had that wisdom when I was your age, 961 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 2: And I was like, it's not a competition, it's really not, 962 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 2: because this information, this knowledge, this wisdom sometimes weighed me 963 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 2: down as to what you were saying, because then it 964 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 2: put me in this box that I need to always 965 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 2: fill and make sure people see and value me in 966 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 2: that box. And for a while, for me, it was 967 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 2: beauty and looks and like that felt so like Okay, 968 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 2: this is this is my little value box. I'm sit 969 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 2: in here and do the best that I can and 970 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,759 Speaker 2: like work and be the best of that that I 971 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 2: can be. Being so afraid of not being loved when 972 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 2: you know, I had a pimple, which it sounds so silly, 973 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 2: but it's so deeply rooted into us. But yeah, no, 974 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 2: like the experience being human in all different ways. But 975 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 2: what I've noticed too is when you finally realize you're 976 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 2: in a box, you're like, I'll just get a bigger box. 977 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 2: I just jumped to bigger boxes. And that's why, like 978 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 2: you know, when we were talking about spoken word and poetry, 979 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 2: it's like I wrote that one poem about paradoxes and 980 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 2: how it's kind of just like it's both. It's not 981 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 2: this or that, it's always going to be both. And 982 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 2: that's why when you're looking for another box, you're already 983 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,760 Speaker 2: in the wrong. Because for a while I was like, Okay, 984 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,760 Speaker 2: if I don't want to be valued for just my looks, 985 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 2: then I'm going to do this and I'm going to 986 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 2: get into business. And I just added more boxes. I 987 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 2: didn't really evolve. But the beautiful thing about growth is 988 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 2: sometimes the outside doesn't have to change for the growth 989 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 2: to happen. And I think that's what was so cool 990 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,720 Speaker 2: is when I realized, like, hey, I actually love dressing 991 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 2: up and being beautiful and feeling beautiful and validating my 992 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,239 Speaker 2: friends for wanting to do that too, and telling them 993 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 2: to wear that up and telling them that we're going 994 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,920 Speaker 2: out having all that, and knowing that it's coming from 995 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 2: this pure twelve year old, like just homeschooled girl that 996 00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 2: you know, had nowhere to go, but just love fashion 997 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,359 Speaker 2: so much that she wanted to make it happen. And 998 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,560 Speaker 2: so externally nothing has changed, but my why has been 999 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:09,920 Speaker 2: integrated so deeply that it feels now light and exciting 1000 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:14,240 Speaker 2: and happy. And then also understanding that wisdom itself comes 1001 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 2: from those life experiences, and then also trusting that wisdom 1002 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,600 Speaker 2: can come from peace as well. I think for a 1003 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 2: really long time I was I thought, Okay, if my 1004 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 2: life isn't chaotic and there isn't these big lessons or 1005 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,880 Speaker 2: these things happening, that I'm not evolving, And then that 1006 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,240 Speaker 2: was just a belief I had. But when I realized 1007 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 2: I could evolve and be in peace and go through 1008 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 2: these motions and actually learn some of the deepest lessons 1009 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 2: from the simplest of things. That's when I got exciting again, 1010 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 2: because I didn't have to be on a rollercoaster anymore. 1011 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, thank god. 1012 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 3: You've reminded me of something I wanted to read it. 1013 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 1: I just brought it up here because we're all on 1014 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,839 Speaker 1: the same page about this idea of just we've got 1015 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 1: to be able to look at our ugly side, our 1016 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: dark side, our shadows. So we've got to be able 1017 00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: to look at the subconscious and rewire our beliefs. We've 1018 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,799 Speaker 1: got to be able to then take action on it 1019 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 1: outside and like you just beautifully said, like we do 1020 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 1: just end up looking for bigger boxes or more boxes 1021 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 1: to define ourselves. But I think often what's not talked 1022 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 1: about is the discomfort in those transitions and how hard 1023 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 1: it is to go from someone who says, well, all 1024 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 1: I'm valued for is for my looks. Now I'm going 1025 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 1: to get into business. And it reminded me of this speech, 1026 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: and that's why I want to read parts of it. 1027 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to find the right part. This was 1028 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 1: a Taylor Swift speech, and I believe it was at 1029 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,399 Speaker 1: the Billboard Awards years ago. Now it was a long 1030 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: long time ago, but it was so powerful. I've seen 1031 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: the video for it, and she said, let me just 1032 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 1: find the exact part. So Taylor Swift said, And now 1033 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: I realized that this is just what happens to a 1034 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 1: woman in music if she achieved success or power beyond 1035 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,400 Speaker 1: people's comfort level. I now have come to expect that 1036 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,520 Speaker 1: with good news comes some sort of pushback. But I 1037 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 1: didn't know that then. So then I decided that I 1038 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,839 Speaker 1: would be the only songwriter on my third album, Speak Now, 1039 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,240 Speaker 1: and that I would talk constantly, work on my vocals 1040 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 1: every day, and perfect my stamina in the live show. 1041 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 1: I decided I would be what they said I couldn't be. 1042 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: I didn't know then that soon enough people would decide 1043 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,319 Speaker 1: on something else I wasn't quite doing right, and the 1044 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: circle would keep going on and on and rolling along, 1045 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,840 Speaker 1: and I would keep accommodating over correcting in an effort 1046 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 1: to appease my critics. They're saying I'm dating too much 1047 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,840 Speaker 1: in my twenties. Okay, I'll stop and just be single 1048 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 1: for years now. They're saying my album Red is filled 1049 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,439 Speaker 1: with too many breakup songs. Okay, I'll make one about 1050 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 1: moving to New York and deciding that really, my life 1051 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 1: is more fun with just friends. Okay, they're saying my 1052 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 1: music is changing too much for me to stay in 1053 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 1: country music, all right. Okay, here's an entire genre shift 1054 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: and a pop album called nineteen eighty nine. 1055 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 3: Oh you heard it? Sick. 1056 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,880 Speaker 1: Now it's that I'm showing you too many pictures of 1057 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,879 Speaker 1: me with my friends. Okay, I can stop doing that too. 1058 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 1: Now I'm actually a calculated minute rather than a smart 1059 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,440 Speaker 1: business woman. Okay, I'll disappear from public view for years. 1060 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 1: Now I'm being cast as a villain too. Okay, here's 1061 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 1: an album called Reputation, and there are lots of snakes everywhere. 1062 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: In the last ten years, I've watched as women in 1063 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 1: this industry are criticized and measured up to each other 1064 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 1: and picked out for their bodies and their romantic lives 1065 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 1: and their fashion. Or have you heard someone say about 1066 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: a male artist, I really like his songs, but I 1067 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,359 Speaker 1: don't know what it is. There's just something about him 1068 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 1: I just don't like. No, that criticism is reserved for us. 1069 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 2: Wow. 1070 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 1: Anyway, there's watching that video of the way she delivers 1071 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: that speech is so powerful, Like I. 1072 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 3: Didn't do it justice at all. 1073 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 1: It's really powerful, but I feel like it's that constant 1074 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,680 Speaker 1: shape shifting that we all go through. It's like you 1075 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,239 Speaker 1: found your porcelain doll version and then you've realized it 1076 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 1: wasn't you, so you decided to expand because you got 1077 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 1: criticized for perfecting that thing. And it's almost like we 1078 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 1: all go through that cycle where you practice something and 1079 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,399 Speaker 1: everyone likes you, or you start something and everyone laughs 1080 00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 1: at you. You practice something and everyone likes you and 1081 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 1: you perfect and then everyone criticizes you, and then you 1082 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,360 Speaker 1: keep doing that on so many other levels. How do 1083 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 1: you help yourselves and help others go through those uncomfortable 1084 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 1: transitions because that moment you're being criticized for the thing 1085 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: you thought everyone wanted you to do all the thing 1086 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 1: that you thought you wanted to do is probably the hardest. 1087 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 3: Part of it. 1088 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it reminds me of what we were talking about 1089 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 2: with making me a hero or a villain, and. 1090 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 4: The opening my fantasy book, the first line is make 1091 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 4: me neither a hero nor a villain, both live within 1092 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,400 Speaker 4: all of us. Make me into whatever you need, but 1093 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,879 Speaker 4: don't take away my humanity by making a hero out 1094 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 4: of me. 1095 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,879 Speaker 3: So good, I love that, and that's so true. 1096 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,319 Speaker 2: It's true because like once you get it's just in 1097 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,600 Speaker 2: our nature. When a person gets at a certain point, 1098 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 2: it's uncomfortable for everyone, and then it's like all right, 1099 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 2: time to pull them down from that level, pull the 1100 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:45,920 Speaker 2: level ground. 1101 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,560 Speaker 4: Also, no living thing does well under a microscope. I mean, 1102 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,759 Speaker 4: I can't imagine if we all were judging each other's 1103 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 4: actions twenty four hours a day. And I think that's 1104 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 4: why the conversation about shape shifting and being fluid. Maybe 1105 00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,959 Speaker 4: your core essence is the same and your values remain 1106 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 4: the same, but whatever shape it takes, you know, life 1107 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 4: is a dance. 1108 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that is part of the service 1109 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 1: for me too, is that? And I know you posted 1110 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 1: about this, Alexis. I thought you post something about this, 1111 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,399 Speaker 1: like I think it was a year or two back, 1112 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 1: and it was a really thoughtful caption around what I 1113 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 1: can't remember the exact language you use, but this idea 1114 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,120 Speaker 1: of what pseudo spirituality looks like. 1115 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I remember that we went off about. 1116 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and just that idea of just like how I 1117 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 1: think part of it is. You know, I always grew 1118 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 1: up believing that spiritual people were poor and that materialistic 1119 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: people had things, and I was so wrong. I was like, 1120 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: you know, spiritual people are abundant, like you know, it's 1121 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 1: it's such an important quality of a spiritual individual. And 1122 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,799 Speaker 1: to me that became so much more prominent as I 1123 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 1: grew older and matured and recognized the value as opposed 1124 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 1: to this belief system that you know, you don't, you can't, 1125 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 1: you shouldn't have anything, and you can't have anything, and 1126 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: you can't create value for others, and not realizing that 1127 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 1: we have a full team of people across the world 1128 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,800 Speaker 1: who are all working on a mission, who are providing 1129 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 1: for their families because we are going out there and 1130 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 1: building something abundant. 1131 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 3: This isn't about me. 1132 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,880 Speaker 1: This is about so many people being supported, and we 1133 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 1: often missed that in our world of I've just got 1134 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:23,600 Speaker 1: to take care of myself and no one else. 1135 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 2: And so are you? Are you pretty good with balancing 1136 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,920 Speaker 2: the feminine and masculine in yourself? 1137 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 1: I really want to talk about it with you too, 1138 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 1: So you're going to have to tell me whether I am, 1139 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,239 Speaker 1: but you're going to have to teach us. And it's 1140 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,720 Speaker 1: so funny because I've had three people in my life 1141 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 1: say something to me that when I first heard it, 1142 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 1: I was like, watch what you're saying, and then now, yeah, exactly, 1143 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: and now I'm like, no, that's me. So I've had 1144 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:47,880 Speaker 1: three people say this to me over the last like 1145 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: eight years. Jay, you have the perfect balance of masculine 1146 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: and feminine in the way you approach life. And the 1147 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 1: first time I heard that, I was like, you what 1148 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 1: you know? And my masculine ones triggered. And then now 1149 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, I really appreciate. I hope that's true, and 1150 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,960 Speaker 1: I think I'm working on it. I think that's because 1151 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,719 Speaker 1: I was raised by my mom and that's where the 1152 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 1: strong and my mom's actually in the house right now, 1153 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:15,120 Speaker 1: she's visiting, but that's where the strong feminine energy came from. 1154 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:20,839 Speaker 1: And at the same time, I have very masculine qualities, tendencies, drives, ambitions. 1155 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 1: But I'd love to understand more about the two through 1156 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,400 Speaker 1: both of you, because I know this is a space 1157 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,440 Speaker 1: you both talk about. I think our community would be 1158 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 1: so fascinated to hear about it from you, because I 1159 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,760 Speaker 1: think we've started to think of the masculine feminine energy 1160 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 1: as gender and it's just getting complicated. So let's talk 1161 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,160 Speaker 1: about it, and then you can tell me whether I 1162 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 1: am or not. 1163 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I should preface this with I'm not an 1164 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,759 Speaker 4: expert or guru on this topic at all. 1165 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 2: I just love and experience life experience. 1166 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 4: I just also love reading books. But I would say 1167 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,560 Speaker 4: the feminine is kind of built to navigate the unknown. 1168 00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,279 Speaker 4: Even in the way we bring life into the world. 1169 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,319 Speaker 4: It's like we're bringing thing unknown into the known, and 1170 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 4: the masculine is really great at navigating the known. 1171 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 2: It's like the mind and the heart. You know. 1172 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 4: You can use your mind to analyze and decide what 1173 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 4: to do based on what's real and what's right in 1174 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,719 Speaker 4: front of you here and now, but the mind can't 1175 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,359 Speaker 4: future cast and figure things out. And yet the heart 1176 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,840 Speaker 4: is what guides us blindly through these moments. And so 1177 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,200 Speaker 4: that's kind of how I differentiate it. But it's obviously 1178 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 4: really complex subject with lots of layers. 1179 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,120 Speaker 2: And I like, for me, I look at it as 1180 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 2: like nature, you know. I think, like the God is 1181 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,880 Speaker 2: the masculine, and Mother Earth is the nature, and like, 1182 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 2: look how chaotic and like unforgiving but beautiful and incredible 1183 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 2: our nature is. And so I think it's like the 1184 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,600 Speaker 2: two their lovers, they're they're a part of all of us. 1185 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,759 Speaker 2: And so it's it's more of an energetic conversation as 1186 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 2: opposed to and it's and it's a way of being 1187 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,279 Speaker 2: in the world. And for me, I naturally fall into 1188 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 2: my masculinity because I didn't have really much of a 1189 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 2: father growing up, and when my mom passed away, it 1190 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,600 Speaker 2: was like, Okay, gotta like parent myself right now, like 1191 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 2: let's get it going, and like I can do this. 1192 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 2: And then she's she always falls really deep into her feminine. 1193 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 2: Like we always joke like I'm the husband, maybe wear that. 1194 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 2: But because I know that, and because I have that awareness, 1195 00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 2: I balance myself out. I do things, for instance, with 1196 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,400 Speaker 2: my physical body, I do things that are very feminine 1197 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 2: like ballet or yoga and slower pilates, Like I go 1198 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 2: slower because I know my internal natural reaction to life 1199 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 2: in general is more of a masculine. Like we're just 1200 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,759 Speaker 2: going to both, like buldoze through this. Once you understand 1201 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:37,680 Speaker 2: kind of your initial reactions to things, you'll understand, Okay, 1202 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 2: do I come from more of the feminine or do 1203 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 2: I come from more of the masculine? And learning to 1204 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 2: balance that obviously, it's just it's a journey, as is 1205 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,200 Speaker 2: life and life is just the classroom that we're all 1206 00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,360 Speaker 2: just going to sit in for the rest of whatever 1207 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 2: this dimension is. And so I think the masculine and 1208 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,880 Speaker 2: the feminine is one of is one of the bigger 1209 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,440 Speaker 2: lessons that we have, because that's even in like the 1210 00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,840 Speaker 2: Hermetic Principles, it talks about the principle of gender and 1211 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 2: how there's always a masculine and feminine And it's not 1212 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:03,680 Speaker 2: what you're saying. It's not black and white, it's not 1213 00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:05,920 Speaker 2: you know, the biology of it. It's truly like an 1214 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:10,840 Speaker 2: energetic field that we use to navigate this universe and 1215 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,399 Speaker 2: this dimension specifically. And then I want you to talk 1216 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,920 Speaker 2: a little bit about how you've integrated the masculine in 1217 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,600 Speaker 2: your life, because you've done a really good job at that. 1218 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. I think when I was very extreme in my 1219 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,120 Speaker 4: feminine it was very hard to actually use my will 1220 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 4: to create things where I would have an idea for 1221 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,040 Speaker 4: a book, but I wouldn't write the book. And so 1222 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 4: integrating that I realized, oh, okay, the masculine is it's almost 1223 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 4: like a. 1224 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,120 Speaker 2: Chariot that you can write. It'll get you where you 1225 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 2: need to go. 1226 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 3: Then you can get off. 1227 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you can get off and you can rest, 1228 00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 4: which I'm you know, we're working on in our modern culture. 1229 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 4: It's a little difficult to do nothing, but I try 1230 00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,600 Speaker 4: and weigh now what life is asking of me. Am 1231 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,960 Speaker 4: I meant to bring my feminine energy into this moment? 1232 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 4: Am I meant to be patient and nurturing and navigate 1233 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 4: that unknown space? Or am I meant to use force 1234 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,040 Speaker 4: and will? And you know it's like the door's not opening, 1235 00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 4: let me kick it down. 1236 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. Sometimes it's also nice to look at 1237 00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 2: the energies as archetypes, like inside out. Yeah, have you 1238 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 2: seen the second. 1239 00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: Go with you? 1240 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,920 Speaker 2: Guys have seen it, I'll see together. I like the 1241 00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 2: second one better than the first set. But what helps 1242 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,280 Speaker 2: is it just once again with back with the archetypes. 1243 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,959 Speaker 2: It helps kind of personify these different energies in us. 1244 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,800 Speaker 2: And then we just like after inside out too, some 1245 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:28,240 Speaker 2: profound stuff, guys. I had such compassion for my anxiety. 1246 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, my god, you've caught me so far. 1247 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 2: Thank you. You've literally exhausted my body, but thank you 1248 00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 2: so much for getting me here and preparing me over preparation. 1249 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,160 Speaker 2: My God, calm down, but thank you. And I felt 1250 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,440 Speaker 2: such gratitude for her, and I also felt I felt 1251 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,720 Speaker 2: love for anxiety for the first time in my life. 1252 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,480 Speaker 2: And then through that, I think joy and anxiety. And 1253 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 2: I noticed this with my dog. We're on the way 1254 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 2: to the park. She's like so excited and then all 1255 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,439 Speaker 2: of a sudden, she has anxiety and she's whining and crying, 1256 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,160 Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh my god. Same. That's so true 1257 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 2: because it's such a it's such a similar energy. Even 1258 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,880 Speaker 2: coming here. I'm like, I'm excited for this podcast, So 1259 00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 2: you're not nervous, You're excited. 1260 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:04,080 Speaker 1: I was just. 1261 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 2: But we get those energies mixed up. But they also 1262 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 2: they kind of service each other in a way, so 1263 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 2: that was really fun. It just it takes once again. 1264 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 2: I think our journey right now with our wisdom is 1265 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,560 Speaker 2: taking off the weight of all of it and also 1266 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,360 Speaker 2: not expecting it to come out with something profound every 1267 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 2: single time and just enjoying the moment for it. And 1268 00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,520 Speaker 2: I think when we personify those emotions, it gives us 1269 00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:32,040 Speaker 2: an opportunity to immediately giggle about it. Honestly, I think 1270 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 2: for us laughter has been it's everything, Like sometimes you 1271 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,400 Speaker 2: just need a giggle, Like sometimes it's too soon, but 1272 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,560 Speaker 2: I'm my goal. I know, I cracked jokes way too 1273 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:45,240 Speaker 2: soon and everyone's just silent, and then someone goes that 1274 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:49,480 Speaker 2: that was too soon. I'm oops.

And ever since then, I've just been 1308 01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,040 Speaker 2: kind of taking on that full Jacksparre archetype of like 1309 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:12,840 Speaker 2: just like fall in the shits you. 1310 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,440 Speaker 3: Have, I love it. 1311 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,360 Speaker 1: You know why that comes full circle because I totally 1312 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,840 Speaker 1: just went to kuaiy So they shot one of the 1313 01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:23,440 Speaker 1: Jacksparao scenes on that beachom yeah exactly, yeah exactly, And 1314 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,280 Speaker 1: so when I was there, that's all. 1315 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 3: I was thinking about. Yeah, exactly. 1316 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,120 Speaker 1: You know, I love what you're talking about because I 1317 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 1: think what's really interesting about it is you're talking about 1318 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 1: the benefits of actually balancing masculine and feminine energy and 1319 01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 1: how you both have seen value in both. And I 1320 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,240 Speaker 1: think it's so strange because I think the conversation often 1321 01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 1: shifts to, like, well, which one are you prioritizing? So 1322 01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,200 Speaker 1: how would you encourage people to think about their balancing 1323 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 1: of their masculine and feminine and how would you encourage 1324 01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 1: them to kind of navigate that I guess the imbalance 1325 01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 1: that they may have, because I I don't think most 1326 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,640 Speaker 1: people are trying to think about the balance because we 1327 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 1: were thinking it's either all yeah, and we're thinking, all, well, 1328 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,360 Speaker 1: masculine energy is what I need because that gets things done. 1329 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,920 Speaker 1: But you're saying, well, what about rest and refuel and 1330 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:16,640 Speaker 1: nourishment or in your case, you know, balancing your masculine 1331 01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:17,880 Speaker 1: energy with the feminine. 1332 01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think the first step is giving a lot 1333 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,200 Speaker 2: of compassion to like once you find out, because I 1334 01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 2: think too we look at spiritual growth in any capacity 1335 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,960 Speaker 2: of like, when we weren't balanced or aligned, we failed. 1336 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,160 Speaker 2: It's just like, no, like the contrast is there to 1337 01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,000 Speaker 2: show us the way, like there wouldn't be light without dart. 1338 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 2: It has to come together. It's both and so honoring. Okay, 1339 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,920 Speaker 2: maybe I've been leaning into my masculine a little bit 1340 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 2: more and maybe it's been draining my body a lot 1341 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 2: because I've been trying to force things and make them 1342 01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,520 Speaker 2: happen and carve things out of nothing. And Okay, but 1343 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 2: that's also the reason that I'm here and safe and 1344 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 2: I've survived. So just really like thanking it for helping 1345 01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,080 Speaker 2: you survive and getting to where you are, because if 1346 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,160 Speaker 2: we go still with that black and white way of 1347 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 2: thinking of oh, that's bad because I've been doing that 1348 01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,040 Speaker 2: and I'm not fulfilled, that's bad and it's like, no, 1349 01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,360 Speaker 2: you need it. You just need to understand how to 1350 01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 2: integrate and incorporate it into your life. So I just 1351 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,680 Speaker 2: I want, you know, if there's like a girl you 1352 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,920 Speaker 2: know listening who's like, oh, you know, I would love 1353 01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:20,600 Speaker 2: to feel more feminine. I would love to, you know, 1354 01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:24,360 Speaker 2: have more of that fairy energy inside of me. First 1355 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 2: is recognizing and giving so much appreciation to that masculine 1356 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 2: that got you here, because it was there was probably 1357 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 2: a reason you leaned into the masculine. Our bodies are intelligent, 1358 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 2: our hearts are intelligent, and we lean into what we 1359 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 2: need to in order to survive. And so it's like 1360 01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,600 Speaker 2: this is incredible, but now it's time to not just 1361 01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,919 Speaker 2: survive anymore, and it's time to truly like get into 1362 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,240 Speaker 2: that thriving and then you can look at it as in, now, 1363 01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,600 Speaker 2: how do I want to bring this feminine energy into it? 1364 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:53,840 Speaker 2: So it's both they've been I mean even anxiety. She's 1365 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:55,680 Speaker 2: just trying to keep me safe, Like she's just trying 1366 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,320 Speaker 2: to keep me prepared for this interview, so I don't 1367 01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 2: see something stupid, like she's just trying to help. You know, 1368 01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 2: it's all there to assist you. This is all intelligently 1369 01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 2: created divinely for you. And when you trust that, like 1370 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 2: that's always the belief I try to get girls too, 1371 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 2: It's like this is all divine. If you can trust 1372 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,520 Speaker 2: that it's all divine, then any scenario that comes your way, 1373 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 2: you're gonna look for the growth because you're gonna because 1374 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 2: you know it's meant for you and you're not a 1375 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,240 Speaker 2: victim anymore. So anything bad that happens, I'm like, Okay, 1376 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,640 Speaker 2: what do we do? God? Like, how is this gonna 1377 01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 2: you know, navigate. How is this going to assist my growth? 1378 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:27,800 Speaker 2: Because it is, because this is a divine because I 1379 01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 2: believe it. 1380 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:29,880 Speaker 1: One thing you've raised there that I love is this 1381 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 1: idea of how we at one point start to hate things. 1382 01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 3: That helped us survive. Yeah, and it's fascinating. 1383 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 1: It's like that saved you, that helped you, it got 1384 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,160 Speaker 1: you to the other side, and now that it's no 1385 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,800 Speaker 1: longer serving you, we feel like we wasted time. We 1386 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 1: hate it, we were wrong, we messed up. Rather than 1387 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 1: going that served me then and now I'll find the 1388 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,920 Speaker 1: next thing to serve me, and I'll always honor that. 1389 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:56,880 Speaker 1: I'll always have a space for that in my life. 1390 01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:58,919 Speaker 1: And it's a tool, it's a skill, it's a habit, 1391 01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,640 Speaker 1: it's a mindset. I can go back, but I don't 1392 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,600 Speaker 1: have to now hate it and neglect it and negate 1393 01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:05,760 Speaker 1: it from having value. 1394 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, or feel embarrassed. 1395 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:09,400 Speaker 3: Feel embarrassed. Yeah, that's yeah, that's a common emotion. 1396 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:09,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1397 01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,560 Speaker 4: I love that first of all, because I don't know, 1398 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:14,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I actually I don't want to spoil inside out, 1399 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:20,400 Speaker 4: but there's a really beautiful scene at the end it 1400 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 4: is I won't spoil it, but it's like the visual 1401 01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 4: representation of what you just said, and it's really beautiful 1402 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 4: to look out for it. Okay, this is just an 1403 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:29,160 Speaker 4: inside out ad. 1404 01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,680 Speaker 3: Apparently exactly sponsor us. 1405 01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 2: It really is one of those brilliant movies. 1406 01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,439 Speaker 4: I try to look at things in storytelling and even 1407 01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 4: archetypically I'm trying to do the opposite of my nature. Like, 1408 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,280 Speaker 4: for example, let's say I really had an integrated ruler. 1409 01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,160 Speaker 2: The only one. 1410 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 4: That is just as powerful as the ruler said the 1411 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,080 Speaker 4: magician would be the full because the fool can say 1412 01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 4: anything to the king that he wants to not be beheaded, 1413 01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 4: because that's his job to be funny and honest, and 1414 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,000 Speaker 4: so he can poke it the king's ego in a 1415 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 4: way that no one else can. And so with the ruler, 1416 01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,120 Speaker 4: maybe you're more serious and stoic, but maybe you need 1417 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:08,720 Speaker 4: to bring in some of the full archetype. 1418 01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:10,680 Speaker 2: And so it's the same with masculine and feminine. 1419 01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:14,840 Speaker 4: It's like, what is my impulse, my reactive step that 1420 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 4: I want to take, and can I actually try doing 1421 01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,200 Speaker 4: the opposite as an experiment and see what happens? 1422 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,200 Speaker 1: And do you bring that in through other people or 1423 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 1: through activities you do yourself well both. 1424 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:25,880 Speaker 2: Whatever the moment presents. 1425 01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:27,800 Speaker 4: You know, if I'm if I'm doing a poem and 1426 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 4: I've done it the same way a hundred times and 1427 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,960 Speaker 4: it's gotten a great reaction, I'm like, well, let's let's yell. 1428 01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,240 Speaker 2: Let's yell and jump up and down and see. 1429 01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,280 Speaker 4: Because I think, to your point, we need the freedom 1430 01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,240 Speaker 4: to try new coping mechanisms. We need the freedom to fail. 1431 01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 4: That's super important, not just for artists but people in general, 1432 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 4: is to not be so hard on ourselves to be 1433 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:48,000 Speaker 4: perfect all the time. 1434 01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:53,960 Speaker 2: So I like being perfect time it's impossible. We're just. 1435 01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, you just vo right, Yah. 1436 01:06:58,920 --> 01:06:59,080 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1437 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:00,840 Speaker 1: We all love pretending. But it was one of the 1438 01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:02,200 Speaker 1: reasons why I did when I did my tour. You 1439 01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,800 Speaker 1: guys didn't come to my show last year, like one 1440 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 1: of the reasons I did my show in this style. 1441 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:08,960 Speaker 1: I did it, and you can be honest with me 1442 01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 1: about how you felt about it. But the reason I 1443 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 1: did it in the way I did was because I 1444 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:19,080 Speaker 1: wanted to shake off that holier than thou I'm the teacher, 1445 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: I'm the guide. 1446 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 3: I wanted just that to just go. 1447 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,720 Speaker 1: And so from the moment I came out, it was 1448 01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:31,920 Speaker 1: me making natural jokes, humor. Everything was just real. It 1449 01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:34,880 Speaker 1: was who I am in who I really believe I am, 1450 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,680 Speaker 1: and on stage I feel like I can be three 1451 01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty degrees of who I am, which I 1452 01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,440 Speaker 1: can't always be in a video or a snapshot or 1453 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,520 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And if someone listens to the podcast, 1454 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 1: they get all of who I am, but it's on 1455 01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,800 Speaker 1: stage I can just totally let loose. My real goal 1456 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:51,760 Speaker 1: of the show was to show people that they could 1457 01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:54,360 Speaker 1: do uncomfortable things. It wasn't that I could tell you 1458 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 1: the right thing and you could think I'm great. It's 1459 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,760 Speaker 1: that you could see people like you. So I would 1460 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,960 Speaker 1: take people from the audience and they would do some 1461 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,920 Speaker 1: of the most incredible, uncomfortable things live on stage, and 1462 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:06,800 Speaker 1: it was just random people from the audience that we 1463 01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,400 Speaker 1: hadn't prepared with. They weren't staged or casted. It was 1464 01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,440 Speaker 1: truly organic, and I loved it. It was beautiful because 1465 01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:18,200 Speaker 1: I was just amazed at the human spirit and resilience 1466 01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,719 Speaker 1: and grit, and at the same time I was able 1467 01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 1: to make my audience the star of the show, so 1468 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 1: people would like There was one girl who came up 1469 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:27,920 Speaker 1: and she said to me afterwards, she said, Jay, Like, 1470 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,439 Speaker 1: literally I got ten people ran and hugged me after 1471 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,439 Speaker 1: I told my story, or like after I came off stage, 1472 01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:35,720 Speaker 1: like I had seven people approached me and asked me 1473 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,800 Speaker 1: to build community with me. And it was just amazing 1474 01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,559 Speaker 1: to kind of create that energy. And that's what it 1475 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,200 Speaker 1: was for me. It's what you both just said. It 1476 01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,679 Speaker 1: was like I used it as a creative expression to say, 1477 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,599 Speaker 1: I want to shake off those shackles of what I 1478 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,400 Speaker 1: think people think of me. 1479 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,600 Speaker 2: It's exactly what you did. And going back to this 1480 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,200 Speaker 2: idea of instead of giving people the answer, it's more 1481 01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:58,880 Speaker 2: about presenting just more and more honest questions until they 1482 01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,200 Speaker 2: get there. That's exactly what you did on stage. 1483 01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:01,519 Speaker 1: Now. 1484 01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:03,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if I had the balls seet up 1485 01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 2: on that stage. My god, some of those people were 1486 01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 2: so raised. Yeah, the one near there YouTube tha Yeah, 1487 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:17,320 Speaker 2: And that was incredible because watching them transform through their 1488 01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:22,360 Speaker 2: own answers, like that's that's true just that's true power 1489 01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:24,519 Speaker 2: for an individual. So it was incredible to see that 1490 01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,599 Speaker 2: for you instead, because like, yeah, usually like a show 1491 01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:30,640 Speaker 2: like that would typically just be you sharing wisdom, but 1492 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,800 Speaker 2: it felt so interactive. So I definitely saw that from 1493 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,559 Speaker 2: my end of it as well. Definitely the Yeah. 1494 01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:38,680 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you a bit about this 1495 01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,599 Speaker 1: journal you've built and created, because I think that you've 1496 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,600 Speaker 1: thought about journals very differently. I think a lot of 1497 01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:49,080 Speaker 1: journals are very daily, and your journals feels like more 1498 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 1: like a journey that can kind of begin and wherever 1499 01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:56,000 Speaker 1: you want, which is beautiful. You both have talked about 1500 01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:59,439 Speaker 1: letters this whole time, Yeah, and you encourage letter writing 1501 01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:03,200 Speaker 1: as part of your journaling process. Walk me through your 1502 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:07,160 Speaker 1: favorite journaling practice in there that could include a letter, 1503 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,600 Speaker 1: may not include a letter that you're so excited for 1504 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:13,040 Speaker 1: people to do and why they should do it, when 1505 01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 1: they should do it, and what you hope they'll. 1506 01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:15,880 Speaker 3: Get out of it. 1507 01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:20,280 Speaker 2: One of my favorites is we have like a letter 1508 01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:24,599 Speaker 2: to Fear essentially, and it's basically you write a letter 1509 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:28,120 Speaker 2: to fear and then the next you start asking its 1510 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,160 Speaker 2: questions and you kind of start having this really beautiful, 1511 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,960 Speaker 2: fluid conversation with fear. And our goal always is to 1512 01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,760 Speaker 2: get people out of this mindset of like bad good, 1513 01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,959 Speaker 2: because that is what shields us in all of these boxes. 1514 01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,559 Speaker 2: And so with the journal, it's just us sharing and 1515 01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,840 Speaker 2: hoping to just show you those honest answers that you 1516 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:51,280 Speaker 2: guys give where you realize how it all assists you, 1517 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,880 Speaker 2: even your fear, you know. And I also love the 1518 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 2: one where we even have you talk to death as well. 1519 01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:00,559 Speaker 2: We get into some because I think, you know, Ali 1520 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,439 Speaker 2: points this out beautifully. She was like, you can never 1521 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,519 Speaker 2: truly live if you haven't really faced death in some way, 1522 01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:10,360 Speaker 2: because that's what makes life so valuable and beautiful as 1523 01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,280 Speaker 2: knowing that this is temporary, and you also don't really know, 1524 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:17,800 Speaker 2: like everything becomes clear, you know when when something of 1525 01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:22,760 Speaker 2: that nature happens, and so giving kind of people, Yeah, 1526 01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 2: just a little bit of a plant medicine. I'm sure 1527 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 2: you be a journal and getting them very clear on 1528 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:31,720 Speaker 2: what they want, because when you just ask, like what 1529 01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,960 Speaker 2: do you want? It becomes overwhelming you shut down. But 1530 01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,679 Speaker 2: when you start asking, hey, what have I been shielding 1531 01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,679 Speaker 2: myself from? What do I envy in people? What triggers 1532 01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:43,640 Speaker 2: me the most? Like those types of questions are going 1533 01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,639 Speaker 2: to get you to what you truly want and desire 1534 01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:50,400 Speaker 2: quicker than any of like more of the forthright coming answers. 1535 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just valuable to climb into perspectives 1536 01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:55,479 Speaker 4: other than your own. 1537 01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:56,479 Speaker 2: So there's one where. 1538 01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,559 Speaker 4: You write yourself a letter as though you're your mother 1539 01:11:58,640 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 4: or father on the day you're born. 1540 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:01,559 Speaker 2: There's one where you talk to death. There's some one 1541 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 2: where you talk to fear. 1542 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 4: And it's just very important to step outside of yourself, 1543 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,800 Speaker 4: especially in forgiveness work or you know, if you need 1544 01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,960 Speaker 4: to express anger, whatever it is. A journal is a 1545 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 4: place where everything gets to belong. There's something too ugly, 1546 01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:18,759 Speaker 4: it just has to be honest. 1547 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:22,600 Speaker 2: That's really then also subconscious writing. That's been one of 1548 01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 2: my favorite tools that we give them. We'll give there's 1549 01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 2: like five or six just blank pages and basically we'll 1550 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,280 Speaker 2: give you a subject and you have to write as 1551 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,080 Speaker 2: fast as you can because it will quite literally get 1552 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:34,720 Speaker 2: to your subconscious And acting coach actually did this with me. 1553 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 2: We're using my dad as a reference for the scene, 1554 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:38,800 Speaker 2: and she was like, I want you to write as 1555 01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 2: fast as you can about your dad. And by the 1556 01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:44,679 Speaker 2: tenth page, I was, you know, crying because I had 1557 01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,680 Speaker 2: all of these messages and things come through that I 1558 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,519 Speaker 2: never knew was inside of me, because I finally got 1559 01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 2: through that conscious mind back to the subconscious and it 1560 01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:56,639 Speaker 2: finally started talking to me. So you can subconscious write 1561 01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:00,800 Speaker 2: literally about anything, and that's that's why it's so powerful, 1562 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:04,679 Speaker 2: because you could subconscious write without any intention and you'll 1563 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:09,679 Speaker 2: still get to some light bulble moment because it's just finally, 1564 01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:13,439 Speaker 2: it's like meditation. You're writing as fast as your thoughts, 1565 01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:15,200 Speaker 2: so you can't really read it back. Who kind of 1566 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:19,400 Speaker 2: gets all we're just like riding. Our warriors are like 1567 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,559 Speaker 2: I can't feel my hand. They're just like, just keep going, 1568 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:27,040 Speaker 2: but they always come to these incredible realizations. So that's 1569 01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,960 Speaker 2: definitely something I wish that you guys try at some point, 1570 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,760 Speaker 2: whoever's listening. It's really it's an incredible gift. It's kind 1571 01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,280 Speaker 2: of like the morning pages from like the Artist's Way, 1572 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:40,000 Speaker 2: but instead of you know, over analyzing what you're saying 1573 01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:42,840 Speaker 2: and if you're growing and is it working, you just 1574 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,840 Speaker 2: you write so fast that there is you and you 1575 01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,920 Speaker 2: write the thoughts. So it's like the subconscious writing starts. Hey, 1576 01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:51,680 Speaker 2: I don't really want to do this, this is my 1577 01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,559 Speaker 2: hand's already aches. How am I gonna get? How am 1578 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,360 Speaker 2: I gonna write? To head pages? You quite literally have 1579 01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:57,920 Speaker 2: to be super honest with exactly what's going through your brain, 1580 01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:58,760 Speaker 2: and that's how you get through. 1581 01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,519 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that you both believe that most of us 1582 01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:07,160 Speaker 1: don't often connect with our subconscious or do we and 1583 01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:08,479 Speaker 1: do we not see the signs? 1584 01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:12,840 Speaker 3: How do you feel about I. 1585 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 1: Guess the question is does our subconscious ever try and 1586 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,120 Speaker 1: communicate with us? Or is it something that we're always 1587 01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,360 Speaker 1: having to try and unlation unravel. 1588 01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,479 Speaker 4: I feel like we're ruled by what remains buried in us. 1589 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:27,840 Speaker 4: And I do a lot of dream work with my friend. 1590 01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:30,960 Speaker 4: He's a great dream analyst, and he's his Carl Jung Again. 1591 01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,240 Speaker 4: I love Carlo clearly, but it's that it's a language, 1592 01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:36,799 Speaker 4: and I think if your subconscious knows you're you're speaking 1593 01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,840 Speaker 4: to it, it starts speaking back. I always personify it 1594 01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:42,720 Speaker 4: as a little monster when I feel like it's getting overactive, 1595 01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,360 Speaker 4: like if things are going really well, for example, my 1596 01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,559 Speaker 4: subconscious is waiting for the shoe to drop, and so 1597 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:51,599 Speaker 4: it starts looking for things to upperlimit or panic about 1598 01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:55,799 Speaker 4: when everything's totally fine. And so I gave it a character. 1599 01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,160 Speaker 4: It's like this little ladybug, and I named it Bert 1600 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:02,719 Speaker 4: because it removes the power. It's that process of naming 1601 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 4: something when you can just make it this funny little 1602 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:06,840 Speaker 4: thing but I think if you can love your little 1603 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,000 Speaker 4: monster it or love you back, and it will help 1604 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,240 Speaker 4: you and be with you in your life versus ignoring it, 1605 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:13,920 Speaker 4: then it starts to rule you and be in the 1606 01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 4: driver's seat at least. 1607 01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,880 Speaker 2: That's how I similar with intuition actually too, Like once 1608 01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:21,599 Speaker 2: you start building that intuitive and understanding you're intuitive pulses, 1609 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,960 Speaker 2: you start having a stronger and stronger relationship with it, 1610 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:29,120 Speaker 2: and then it's like and it's just speed doll, Like 1611 01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:31,840 Speaker 2: I can connect with the intuition immediately and it's yeah, 1612 01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:35,479 Speaker 2: it's yeah. I think that was another really incredible thing 1613 01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,679 Speaker 2: that we had with the Warriors because we were like, okay, 1614 01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,680 Speaker 2: let's talk about intuition, and all the girls were like, 1615 01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:42,640 Speaker 2: but I don't what is my intuition? And I was like, 1616 01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,120 Speaker 2: oh wow, okay, first we need to figure out how 1617 01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,280 Speaker 2: to get you guys back to connecting with intuition and 1618 01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:49,160 Speaker 2: what that means for you, and then through that we 1619 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 2: can use intuition and workshops. But we had to even 1620 01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:53,479 Speaker 2: go back farther to be like, oh, okay, let's build 1621 01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:57,240 Speaker 2: a relationship first, because everything has relationships. Everything is a relationship, 1622 01:15:57,880 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 2: and it's always a two way street. 1623 01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:00,720 Speaker 3: I fully agree with you. 1624 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:02,559 Speaker 1: We have a relationship with money, we have a relationship 1625 01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 1: with food, we have a relationship with our bodies, we 1626 01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,720 Speaker 1: have relationship with others, And that's something I wanted to 1627 01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,840 Speaker 1: talk to you both about. I imagine that a lot 1628 01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,160 Speaker 1: of questions you get have some correlation to dating, love 1629 01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:18,880 Speaker 1: a romantic partner. What are some of the subconscious beliefs 1630 01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:23,280 Speaker 1: that you're seeing holding people back from love? What have 1631 01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:26,760 Speaker 1: you seen in your own journeys towards romantic love that 1632 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,000 Speaker 1: you feel of held you back from really creating something 1633 01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:33,559 Speaker 1: powerful or beautiful like you have in your friendship. And 1634 01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 1: how do you guide young women through that journey of 1635 01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,960 Speaker 1: their life. Because I feel like if there's anything that 1636 01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:43,519 Speaker 1: has been seen as put on the greatest pedestal or 1637 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,960 Speaker 1: platform or the ultimate achievement, as you rightly said, was 1638 01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,800 Speaker 1: why you become the porcelain doll, is because you've been 1639 01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 1: told that that's what gives you protection. 1640 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:56,479 Speaker 3: So that's so hardwired. What's the breakthrough insight for that? 1641 01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:01,160 Speaker 4: At least for me? My work is and love surrendering 1642 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,120 Speaker 4: the sword first. That's the only way to win the battle. 1643 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:07,200 Speaker 4: And explain that to me, Like we it's very easy 1644 01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:10,160 Speaker 4: to throw up a guard and to tiptoe into something. 1645 01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,120 Speaker 4: Especially now there's so many options. You can be noncommittal 1646 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 4: so easily because there's always something you know, rich or 1647 01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,160 Speaker 4: smarter or pretty or whatever it is, versus actually leaning 1648 01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,559 Speaker 4: into the person in front of you. And I think 1649 01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:25,439 Speaker 4: that's my work, is fully leaning in no matter what, 1650 01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,759 Speaker 4: so that when if it ends, whether that's through dying 1651 01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,920 Speaker 4: together in our nineties or nine minutes from now it 1652 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 4: just doesn't work out, at least they'll know I gave 1653 01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:36,680 Speaker 4: all of myself because I think that's what haunts me 1654 01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,240 Speaker 4: is if I didn't lean into a moment. So yeah, 1655 01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:42,000 Speaker 4: I think by surrendering my sword, by being the first 1656 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,800 Speaker 4: to strip off my armor, that's when I actually feel 1657 01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,640 Speaker 4: really proud of myself in love. Whether or not it 1658 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:48,920 Speaker 4: works out, I feel it's successful in that way. 1659 01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:53,200 Speaker 1: How do you respond to that when it could be 1660 01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:57,880 Speaker 1: that someone took advantage of that, or someone misuse that 1661 01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,160 Speaker 1: openness and vulnerability. 1662 01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:00,360 Speaker 3: That you gave them. 1663 01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,280 Speaker 1: How do you reconcile that afterwards, in the aftermath that 1664 01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,439 Speaker 1: it only lasted three months or six months or whatever 1665 01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:09,000 Speaker 1: it was, and it wasn't as deep and beautiful as 1666 01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:10,840 Speaker 1: you wanted to commit towards. 1667 01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:12,479 Speaker 4: There's not really a way for me to know that. 1668 01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:15,040 Speaker 4: You know, I can't peer into the future, and that's 1669 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:16,640 Speaker 4: the risk I take in love reminds me of that 1670 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:18,920 Speaker 4: colors your bron poem on Love, where he says, when 1671 01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:22,080 Speaker 4: love beckons, you follow him though his ways are hard 1672 01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,839 Speaker 4: and steep, you know it's true you might get wounded. 1673 01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,799 Speaker 4: And it's just the risk that we take with caring 1674 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,840 Speaker 4: about people. You know, we'll lose them one way or another, 1675 01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:34,400 Speaker 4: whether they die before us or we die before them. 1676 01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,280 Speaker 4: The sphere of will I ever find my person is 1677 01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 4: now replaced with will I lose my person? And that 1678 01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,960 Speaker 4: just comes with caring about someone other than yourself. It's 1679 01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 4: an inevitable reality. And so if I can face that 1680 01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,599 Speaker 4: every day and accept that, it makes me have. 1681 01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:50,680 Speaker 2: More courage to lean in. Yeah, I want to echo that, 1682 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:55,000 Speaker 2: just because I think we define successful relationships as lasting forever. 1683 01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,920 Speaker 2: Whereas for me and Alley, as we're learning and growing, 1684 01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,240 Speaker 2: it's really about letting it morph into whatever it's meant 1685 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,680 Speaker 2: to be. So whether that stays romantic, or or it 1686 01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,800 Speaker 2: changes into something else, or you know, if you feel 1687 01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:11,160 Speaker 2: like it's time to leave, making sure that the love 1688 01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:14,000 Speaker 2: is still there no matter the decision, because I think 1689 01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:17,360 Speaker 2: it's way easier to just wait until you both get 1690 01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:21,680 Speaker 2: so triggered that then we can just make it, make 1691 01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,760 Speaker 2: each other the bad villain or whatever, and then move 1692 01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,639 Speaker 2: on with our lives. But the real growth, and when 1693 01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:29,120 Speaker 2: you know, kind of the universe, the God knows that 1694 01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:31,599 Speaker 2: you're ready for a partner, is when you act in love, 1695 01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,760 Speaker 2: not because they deserve it, or you know, because you 1696 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:36,599 Speaker 2: want to show them or whatever. It's because you are 1697 01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,680 Speaker 2: love and that's just what you attract. And so for me, 1698 01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,439 Speaker 2: at least like with my prior relationship to this one, 1699 01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,920 Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened. I was absolutely heartbroken, but I 1700 01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,760 Speaker 2: knew that this was a conversation with me and God 1701 01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,880 Speaker 2: now about Okay, can you end this in love, because 1702 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 2: regardless if he wants to stay, you are love, and 1703 01:19:58,040 --> 01:19:59,280 Speaker 2: so you're going to end it in this way, and 1704 01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:03,879 Speaker 2: then therefore the real, the real partnership will come and 1705 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,960 Speaker 2: and that's exactly what happens. So also too, you know 1706 01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:10,840 Speaker 2: it is it is a little chaotic right now in 1707 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:15,040 Speaker 2: the world with this idea of non attachment. You know, 1708 01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:17,600 Speaker 2: we we associated with spirituality a lot because it's like, oh, 1709 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:19,880 Speaker 2: I'm not attached. But Ali also has this beautiful poem 1710 01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:21,720 Speaker 2: where she was like, if you don't, if you just 1711 01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:23,519 Speaker 2: constantly go with the flow of the river, you're going 1712 01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:26,240 Speaker 2: to fall off the waterfall. Like it's when we don't 1713 01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:29,280 Speaker 2: use that masculine energy to say no, I want this, 1714 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:30,840 Speaker 2: I want to do this, I want to work for this, 1715 01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:36,479 Speaker 2: then everything just there's no there's there's no real intimacy 1716 01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:38,360 Speaker 2: and no real connection. And I think that's our That's 1717 01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,040 Speaker 2: my goal at least with every romantic relationship if I 1718 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:44,800 Speaker 2: have one, if whatever it is, is just getting to 1719 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,120 Speaker 2: the depth of that connection so that both of us 1720 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:51,640 Speaker 2: can grow, and growth is my definition of success in relationship, 1721 01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:54,400 Speaker 2: not time. And it's scary too, because I think when 1722 01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:56,320 Speaker 2: you're in a relationship and you feel like you're not 1723 01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:59,680 Speaker 2: getting something that you want, you usually will go in 1724 01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:02,240 Speaker 2: your backo, try and figure it out, come to a conclusion, 1725 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,920 Speaker 2: and then tell the person as opposed to being letting 1726 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,080 Speaker 2: them in on the conversation, being like, Hey, I'm not 1727 01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 2: getting this type of energy or this type of treatment, 1728 01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:12,559 Speaker 2: and I'm really noticing that it's an ultimatum for me 1729 01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:14,479 Speaker 2: in relationships, and I want to include you on this 1730 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:17,559 Speaker 2: conversation because I'm terrified of hurting you or I'm terrified 1731 01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 2: of like leaving this life, and you know, just bringing 1732 01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:26,280 Speaker 2: them into the conversation is what takes the power away 1733 01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:29,040 Speaker 2: from it. And then it's like it's an honest love 1734 01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,639 Speaker 2: no matter what. And that's it's really scary because it's 1735 01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,519 Speaker 2: way easier to just come to the conclusion and then 1736 01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:38,000 Speaker 2: present it to them, and it's even scarier being like, hey, 1737 01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:39,360 Speaker 2: I'm terrified of breaking your heart. 1738 01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:40,160 Speaker 3: How does that wran you? Real? 1739 01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:43,880 Speaker 2: But at least it's an honest conversation. And I'm noticing 1740 01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:45,720 Speaker 2: that with our relationship. I've been in a relationship for 1741 01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:48,920 Speaker 2: four almost five years now, and that's it. Like every 1742 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,960 Speaker 2: six to nine months, we just we have to, you know, 1743 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,519 Speaker 2: have a conversation of like, hey, is there anything that's 1744 01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:56,800 Speaker 2: not being honored within the relationship that you feel like 1745 01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,360 Speaker 2: you need because I think going back to this masculine 1746 01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:03,839 Speaker 2: and feminine that's super important in a relationship. It's fluid, 1747 01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,720 Speaker 2: you know, sometimes you'll lean into the masculine, sometimes I'll 1748 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:10,639 Speaker 2: you know, he'll lean into feminine. But when we especially 1749 01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,200 Speaker 2: with females, you know, when we are in the masculine 1750 01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:14,880 Speaker 2: too much, in a relationship, we kind of become the 1751 01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,200 Speaker 2: mother archetype a little bit of like did you do 1752 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:19,559 Speaker 2: the bed? Blah blah, Like you're picking on things that 1753 01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:22,920 Speaker 2: don't mean to be picked on, and it's usually because, uh, 1754 01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,519 Speaker 2: the feminine us hasn't been honored in a way where 1755 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,479 Speaker 2: it's like have you taken her out? Have you you know, 1756 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,000 Speaker 2: done a romantic weekend or whatever it is, is just 1757 01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 2: bringing that romance back into it and then the female 1758 01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:38,000 Speaker 2: can just like fall into her feminine and feel like 1759 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,160 Speaker 2: a princess truly, because that's what we also want in 1760 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,240 Speaker 2: a relationship, at least for me, I like to feel 1761 01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:42,759 Speaker 2: it princess. 1762 01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:50,519 Speaker 1: Know what, what's your take on, like how this language 1763 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,880 Speaker 1: of like high value man and high value woman is 1764 01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:57,679 Speaker 1: like permeated like social media culture relationships and like, yeah. 1765 01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:00,479 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1766 01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,760 Speaker 4: To me, it feels so transactional of I think we're 1767 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,639 Speaker 4: drawn to people who bring out the side of us 1768 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:11,000 Speaker 4: that needs to come out in a way. And I've 1769 01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:13,120 Speaker 4: always trusted that life will bring me the person that 1770 01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:14,880 Speaker 4: I meant to fall for, and I've trusted that I 1771 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:17,880 Speaker 4: feel like I'll feel it when I see them versus 1772 01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:19,800 Speaker 4: if I create this checklist of like he has to 1773 01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:21,240 Speaker 4: make this much money and drive this car and look 1774 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 4: like this and do this. It takes the magic out 1775 01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 4: of it, and I'm not actually present with the person 1776 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:29,479 Speaker 4: in front of me. And at least on a soul level, 1777 01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:31,800 Speaker 4: I don't know that I'll learn the most from the 1778 01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:34,400 Speaker 4: person on my checklist. You know, I don't know that 1779 01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:36,720 Speaker 4: I'll be able to dance on the ashes of who 1780 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,360 Speaker 4: we once were together if it's what my mind thinks, 1781 01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:41,679 Speaker 4: because at least I find whatever my mind thinks should 1782 01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:43,559 Speaker 4: happen is usually not what should happen. 1783 01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:44,720 Speaker 3: I agree at all. 1784 01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I want to be surprised because love is 1785 01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,479 Speaker 4: such a greater force than me, and it's so humbling. 1786 01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:52,920 Speaker 4: And yeah, I guess when I hear the high value man, 1787 01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,880 Speaker 4: high value woman, it automatically to me insinuates that you 1788 01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,599 Speaker 4: don't have value or you know what I mean. It 1789 01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:02,040 Speaker 4: triggers is the self esteem thing. At least that's how 1790 01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:03,080 Speaker 4: I feel when I hear it. 1791 01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:07,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, I love your take on it, and I 1792 01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:13,959 Speaker 1: think my take is that you can't really judge value 1793 01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 1: in that way because I always give this example of 1794 01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,120 Speaker 1: like when I met RADI I was in debt and 1795 01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,000 Speaker 1: didn't have a job and didn't know what I was 1796 01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:26,280 Speaker 1: going to do. And so if I was judged on 1797 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:30,320 Speaker 1: my value of my net worth or any of those things, 1798 01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:34,960 Speaker 1: it would have been minus. But I was not judged. 1799 01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,720 Speaker 1: I was approached by RADI based on my values, not 1800 01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:41,800 Speaker 1: my value, and that totally was a different take, and 1801 01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:45,280 Speaker 1: she invested in my values, and those values are what 1802 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:49,360 Speaker 1: constructs a healthy relationship today, I don't think whether we've 1803 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,639 Speaker 1: had money or not had money it actually affected our 1804 01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,360 Speaker 1: romantic connection, or whether we had things or didn't have things, 1805 01:24:56,400 --> 01:25:00,040 Speaker 1: whether it affected our intimacy, Like that wasn't what I 1806 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,080 Speaker 1: had an impact. I always say to people, like, how 1807 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,360 Speaker 1: to old someone is isn't going to change. 1808 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,000 Speaker 3: Whether you guys are have also. 1809 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:09,720 Speaker 2: So much fun to grow with you xactly and to 1810 01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:11,880 Speaker 2: be like I was there from the beginning. Like that's 1811 01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,240 Speaker 2: so satisfying and cool in its own way. So when 1812 01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:18,879 Speaker 2: we're always constantly looking for like the finished product of someone, 1813 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:23,000 Speaker 2: it's like, well, then where's that gritty growth that I 1814 01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:24,800 Speaker 2: love so much, because at least that's what we have 1815 01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:27,919 Speaker 2: in our friendship. You know, it's just like this gritty 1816 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,400 Speaker 2: like I'm going to continue to like go with you 1817 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:33,880 Speaker 2: on this journey whichever way you know, if you need 1818 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:37,640 Speaker 2: to bury dead body list Like it's that energy on 1819 01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:46,280 Speaker 2: Purpose podcast. He's like, God, love each other, her out, No, 1820 01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,960 Speaker 2: but it's true. Like I I like, even in the 1821 01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,599 Speaker 2: past five years, I'm like, this is incredible to see 1822 01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:54,720 Speaker 2: how much we've grown together. It's almost it's exhilarating in 1823 01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:58,800 Speaker 2: its own way. So I do think too, and men also, 1824 01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:00,720 Speaker 2: I think I'm going to talk a little bit potential 1825 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,720 Speaker 2: because I think women who Run with the Wolves, that 1826 01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:06,680 Speaker 2: incredible book, they were talking about how women it's in 1827 01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:08,720 Speaker 2: one of it's part of our nature to see a 1828 01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:11,559 Speaker 2: man's potential and to truly like help lift them to 1829 01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,360 Speaker 2: get them there. And so so many times I hear 1830 01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:17,519 Speaker 2: my friends, you know, embarrassed that they fell for them 1831 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:19,679 Speaker 2: for his potential, and then they felt guilty or bad 1832 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 2: that they were trying to push him in a direction 1833 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:23,760 Speaker 2: that maybe he didn't want to go. And when I 1834 01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,160 Speaker 2: read that in the book, I realized, oh no, because 1835 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:29,360 Speaker 2: the right man will be so excited that you see 1836 01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 2: that path for them and will walk that path with 1837 01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,479 Speaker 2: you in a beautiful way. So there is truth within 1838 01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,840 Speaker 2: that that natural ability that women have. It's it's so beautiful, 1839 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,600 Speaker 2: and I've seen that with my own relationship, Like it 1840 01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:47,880 Speaker 2: is so fun to watch him grow and become this 1841 01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:51,840 Speaker 2: incredible man. It is. It's so much more satisfying than 1842 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:53,479 Speaker 2: if I would have just gone on a date with 1843 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,720 Speaker 2: this version of him now and met him now. It's 1844 01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 2: our nature to to feed that potential to something greater. 1845 01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:01,960 Speaker 2: And if he's the right guy and he's ready for you, 1846 01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 2: then that's where the growth and the beautiful garden that 1847 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,080 Speaker 2: you guys will create comes from.

I think that's why I appreciate her. 1915 01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:21,839 Speaker 4: It's the balance. Yeah, there's nothing composed, and I'm too composed, 1916 01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:24,439 Speaker 4: and so somewhere will become a person in the middle. 1917 01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,080 Speaker 1: I always say that, like I take life too seriously 1918 01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:29,280 Speaker 1: and Rady doesn't take life seriously at all. 1919 01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:31,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's the only way to balance it out. 1920 01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:36,760 Speaker 1: Similar I know what I'm doing every minute of the day. 1921 01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:40,120 Speaker 1: All right, question number four, list of things that you're 1922 01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,160 Speaker 1: running from? 1923 01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:55,320 Speaker 2: Okay, I just spit uh mortality to get like really deep. 1924 01:30:56,439 --> 01:31:00,639 Speaker 2: I've been feeling like I've been needing to face us 1925 01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:04,400 Speaker 2: in different types of ways. Maybe it's a plot plant 1926 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,280 Speaker 2: medicine thing. Maybe I don't know what it is, but 1927 01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:10,320 Speaker 2: I feel once I can have a more honest relationship 1928 01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:13,120 Speaker 2: with death, I'll be able to because now I love 1929 01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:14,519 Speaker 2: my life so much and I love who I am 1930 01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:16,200 Speaker 2: so much, so I'm like, I just really want to 1931 01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:19,800 Speaker 2: be in it so deeply and I and I know 1932 01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:21,840 Speaker 2: that like fear of death and fear of loosening it 1933 01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,800 Speaker 2: all is kind of ruining the presence for me a 1934 01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:27,439 Speaker 2: little bit. So yeah, thank you. 1935 01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:30,439 Speaker 4: I'm running for my gifts. I think I've hit a 1936 01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:34,679 Speaker 4: certain comfortable place in writing, but I want to see 1937 01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:36,439 Speaker 4: how far I can go and stretch that muscle. But 1938 01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:38,439 Speaker 4: it feels like that Mary and Williamson quote if we're 1939 01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:41,519 Speaker 4: afraid of our power more than failure. I just butchered 1940 01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:44,760 Speaker 4: that terribly. But I'm afraid of that. I'm seeing how 1941 01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,120 Speaker 4: far I can go about You, Jay Shatty, what am. 1942 01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:52,559 Speaker 3: I running from? Yeah, that's what you're saying, right that question. 1943 01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:58,000 Speaker 3: I literally wait to do this, Like I'm really excited. 1944 01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:03,000 Speaker 3: Am I running from? 1945 01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:08,920 Speaker 1: I think I'm running from. I'm actually doing what I 1946 01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:11,439 Speaker 1: was talking about earlier. I'm running from a past self, 1947 01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:15,360 Speaker 1: an identity then no longer serves me. But I think 1948 01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm doing it not in the right way. So my 1949 01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:24,519 Speaker 1: history is important to me, and it's powerful, and it's 1950 01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:26,559 Speaker 1: so much the reason I am who I am today, 1951 01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:30,519 Speaker 1: and I think sometimes I'm trying to run away from 1952 01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:34,840 Speaker 1: my history because I'm so different today externally and in 1953 01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:36,760 Speaker 1: so many other ways. But I don't think that's the 1954 01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:39,120 Speaker 1: right thing to do, so i'd say that's what I'm 1955 01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:43,400 Speaker 1: running from. That makes sense at all? All right, Fifth 1956 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,439 Speaker 1: and final question, what are you pretending not to know? 1957 01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:47,120 Speaker 3: Right now? 1958 01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:50,200 Speaker 2: That's the question that I wanted him to Oh is it? 1959 01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:50,760 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1960 01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:54,040 Speaker 2: Remember what what did it? Could say? Our friend Coop 1961 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:54,880 Speaker 2: Blacks an extra set? 1962 01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:59,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I interviewed two years ago. 1963 01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:04,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's Oh my god, what's larger than life? 1964 01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:04,599 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1965 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:07,400 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. What am I brandtending not to know? 1966 01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:08,080 Speaker 2: Right now? 1967 01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:08,800 Speaker 3: Oh? 1968 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,760 Speaker 2: No, oh no. That I was really hoping he wasn't 1969 01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:13,320 Speaker 2: going to ask that question, but I wanted to ask 1970 01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:14,040 Speaker 2: him that question. 1971 01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:14,640 Speaker 3: And now we're in. 1972 01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:23,799 Speaker 2: I think I do feel a little bit of fear 1973 01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:27,759 Speaker 2: of success with the podcast because we had this conversation 1974 01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:33,960 Speaker 2: with kot. There's a difference between sharing who you are 1975 01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,719 Speaker 2: and exposing who you are, and I always got nervous 1976 01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:39,680 Speaker 2: with that because with social media, it's everyone's just going 1977 01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:41,599 Speaker 2: to use any part of their life to gain attraction, 1978 01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:44,920 Speaker 2: and I really want to maintain a sense of privacy 1979 01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:47,920 Speaker 2: while also sharing deeply who I am. I feel you 1980 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:51,920 Speaker 2: do a really good job about that, So I think 1981 01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:58,760 Speaker 2: I'm I'm afraid of that line being crossed with now 1982 01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:03,439 Speaker 2: that we're in this like more love content, because this 1983 01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:05,600 Speaker 2: is the only type of content on the Internet that 1984 01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:09,400 Speaker 2: I feel actually shows all versions of someone, and that's 1985 01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:11,160 Speaker 2: why me and Ali were so excited to get into it. 1986 01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:13,360 Speaker 2: But there's definitely a huge fear of it right now 1987 01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:16,120 Speaker 2: that I'll expose myself in some way or feel like 1988 01:34:16,160 --> 01:34:19,400 Speaker 2: I hate those vulnerability hangovers. My god, it doesn't feel good. 1989 01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:20,680 Speaker 2: Oh it doesn't feel good. 1990 01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:25,360 Speaker 4: What about you? I actually think it's what you said 1991 01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:30,240 Speaker 4: earlier about the inner piece external chaos. I find what 1992 01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:33,760 Speaker 4: brings me inner piece, I notice rocks the boat of 1993 01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:37,400 Speaker 4: people I love most a lot of the time, and 1994 01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:40,519 Speaker 4: so I really really struggle with not wanting to hurt 1995 01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:44,320 Speaker 4: people and then suffocating a part of myself. And I 1996 01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:46,960 Speaker 4: think there's a balance between the two of freedom and security, 1997 01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:49,160 Speaker 4: But I think it's pretending not to know when something's 1998 01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:50,519 Speaker 4: good for me, but I know what's going to be 1999 01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:54,200 Speaker 4: something that feels like upheaval inside. 2000 01:34:54,640 --> 01:35:01,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you guys. What are you pretting not 2001 01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:04,880 Speaker 1: to know right now? I'd say it's I feel that 2002 01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:09,400 Speaker 1: there's a larger than life, bigger service that I'm meant 2003 01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:13,519 Speaker 1: to walk into, but I feel like the immediate keeps 2004 01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:18,040 Speaker 1: taking my attention, and so I'm pretending not to know 2005 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,120 Speaker 1: that there's this bigger thing that will be hard at 2006 01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 1: work people work that is asking me to pick up 2007 01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:27,920 Speaker 1: the call. But it's almost like you're avoiding the call 2008 01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:32,000 Speaker 1: because there's all this immediate stuff that is good and 2009 01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,080 Speaker 1: it's great and it's helping, and it is service based 2010 01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:37,639 Speaker 1: as well, but it's you know, there's more and you're 2011 01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:38,719 Speaker 1: not picking up the call. 2012 01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:41,240 Speaker 2: So oh that's good, That's honest. 2013 01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:43,599 Speaker 1: What I love about everything I've said to you guys, 2014 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:45,519 Speaker 1: and even just sitting and do this activity with you, 2015 01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:51,400 Speaker 1: I love that those beautiful, simple, well crafted questions made 2016 01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:54,479 Speaker 1: me say things that I probably haven't said out loud 2017 01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:59,800 Speaker 1: to anyone in years.
