Speaker 1: Dropping the Gym. Hey, welcome back to another episode of

16
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: The Dropping Gym's podcast. I'm Debbie Brown. This is your

17
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: soft place to land where we have conscious conversations and

18
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: unpacked tools for our healing journeys. All right, this episode,

19
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to do a little bit of Q and

20
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: a H. Last time I did that, I got some

21
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: amazing questions. So I hit up my Instagram this week

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: and I did the same thing again in my stories.

23
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: I asked everyone who listens to the show if they

24
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: had any questions about the spiritual journey, life, meditation, all

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: the things UM, and I got some really, really, really

26
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: amazing questions. I feel like the floodgates opened and there

27
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: was just so much depth that came pouring through. So

28
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm excited to answer a lot of these UM. At

29
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: post uh the time of recording of this episode, I

30
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: am getting ready to head up to Ryan back to

31
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: the Omega Institute campus where for the next week I

32
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: will be hosting a retreat along with Queena Fua called

33
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Women Who Heal, and I'm really excited to connect with

34
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: everyone that is signed up. That Omega campus is just so,

35
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: so so breathtaking, and you know, my deepest intention, especially

36
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: as one of the first UM gatherings post pandemic, that

37
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: I've been doing well no, actually I've hosted a bunch

38
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: of retreats over the last two years, but y'all know

39
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. This UM, this special one that that

40
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: actually had a really unique intention that has been really

41
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: different than things I've taught in other spaces. I should say, Um,

42
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, the campus was really important to me. The

43
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: Omega campus was established decades ago, forty or five years ago,

44
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: to be exact, by a lot of incredibly awakened spiritual

45
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: teachers of the time, and it's been a place where

46
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: people have gone to get lost in spiritual study, to

47
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: find themselves again, to remember to be with themselves. And

48
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: it's it's such a different experience than um, some of

49
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: the other kinds of retreats that we really enjoy that

50
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: help us relax. This is more of a study retreat.

51
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: You stay in a cabin, you go away, you have

52
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: daily hikes and meditation, you study, you take classes and

53
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: courses and different things to expand your thought process. And

54
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: that really really resonates with my soul. That's the kind

55
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: of stuff I like to do, um to refuel and

56
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: recharge myself and to get really clear on myself and

57
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: my teaching. So I was excited to offer that and

58
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: kind of open up that world for those that hadn't

59
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: already participated on that campus before knew something like that,

60
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, even existed up until very recently. You'd find

61
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: about things really you know, find out about things really

62
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: just in whispers of people who felt comfortable telling you

63
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: about your journeys, letting you know places you could go.

64
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: And so this was kind of in that tradition. It

65
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: was one of those secret sacred places um over nearly

66
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: fifty years where people who are looking to do deep,

67
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: expansive work would go and connect with themselves. So I'm

68
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: really excited. I'm headed out there tomorrow at the time

69
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: of me recording this episode, and it is it's gonna

70
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: be special. Alright, Let's dive into some questions because I

71
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: have a lot of really good ones and I'm gonna

72
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: just kind of go through them. Uh, I love Oh Okay.

73
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: First question for our Q and A today on Dropping

74
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: Gym's is how does your relationship with food affect slash

75
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: nourish your life. I love this question, and I'm I'm

76
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: kind of going to answer this question really personally from

77
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: my experience, um, not necessarily in a way that is

78
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: guiding anyone into doing anything. But I used to have

79
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: I used to be a really proud foodie and everything

80
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: I ate it was about pleasure and it was about

81
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: like how delicious could it be and how different could

82
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: it be you know, I'd always order like the most

83
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: outlandish thing on the menu or the you know, the

84
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: quote unquote strangest thing you know, I'd encounter in my travels,

85
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: and I really felt like that was not one it

86
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: was not sustainable, that's not the healthiest way to live. Um.

87
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: But also it just you know, I wanted to find

88
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: what was the deeper connection, Like, yes, I'm very epicurean.

89
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: I love food, love, you know, sensory things like that

90
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: is inherently me. But it was like what else is

91
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: being filled right now? Um? And so after I had

92
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: my son, I ended up doing the Keto diet, which

93
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: dramatically um changed my life for the better. It gave

94
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: me a lot of space in between experiencing pleasure with food. UM.

95
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: And it also helped me kind of regulate and get

96
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: to know my body a little bit better because I

97
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: started noticing, you know, when when am I actually hungry

98
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: versus just want to eat? And what am I actually

99
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: hungry for? And what is you know, what craving inside

100
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: of my body for nutrition is looking to be met,

101
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: you know in this moment. And so going keto UM

102
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: also introduced me to intermitted fasting, and so that was

103
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: something that I did for about a year after I

104
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: had my son, and it just it really changed me.

105
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: And you know, definitely I got into a lot at

106
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: or physical health, I lost weight, but outside of that,

107
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: UM kind of intellectually more spiritually, it just helped me

108
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: understand how my body related to food. So to answer

109
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: your question, I probably gave a really long winded um

110
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: t am I around that, But my relationship with food

111
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: UM was really changed by that. And so now I

112
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: find that I really eat to live and I used

113
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: to kind of live to eat. I used to just

114
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: get so excited to think about delicious things, and now, UM,

115
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: now I just find that, like I eat things that

116
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: taste good to me, that feel good in my body,

117
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: but it's really just about honoring my body. And so

118
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'll notice like oh I'm hungry, Oh I

119
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: need some fuel, and so I'll go meet that need.

120
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: And I don't put a lot of thought um into

121
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: calories or anything like that. I just looked to meet

122
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: my needs of what my body wants. But I try

123
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: to do it in a way that really honors UM

124
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: it's true need and it's true function. So it's an

125
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: area I'm still learning in Um, I'm definitely this year,

126
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: I've been thinking a lot more about wanting to expand

127
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: in my understanding of my my own personal bodies relationship

128
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: to food. In the past, I've I've had a bunch

129
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: of different kind of tests done. Like twelve years ago,

130
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: I did one of those blood tests that tells you

131
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: you know what you should eat, what you should never eat,

132
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: and all my favorite foods around the never eat list,

133
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: like things like olives and olive oil, and like I

134
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: was like, come on, I'm not living a life without

135
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,359
Speaker 1: olive oil. So I don't know. Sometimes I have information,

136
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: but I don't necessarily Um. You know, I go with

137
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: what what actually seems sustainable, joyful, feasible from my personal life. UM.

138
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: But that's an area I'm looking to expand in and

139
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: I've really been enjoying my study in that space so far.

140
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: So I hope that answers your question. But I really

141
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: look to nourish my body, um, and kind of meet

142
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: my needs on or my cravings, but really do it

143
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: on the true timing of what my body needs when

144
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: it needs it. And I am in practice with that

145
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to expanding in that. Alright, Let's see, Um,

146
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: more questions. These are such good questions. Okay, another great

147
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: question thoughts on where to start when offering wellness tools

148
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: to marginalized communities. Okay, what I am hearing in this question, um,

149
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: this is what I'm gleaning from it. So I hope

150
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: this is the intention is you know, sometimes when you

151
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: recognize communities that really need this work, there is such

152
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: little foundation for coming into this work, and so it

153
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: does feel like a mountain decline. Like I remember when

154
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: I first started really being deep in my study and

155
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: and feeling ready to teach. There there were so many

156
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: things that I learned and I had come into kind

157
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: of an advance practice with myself. But how do you

158
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: reverse engineer that in a way that can really serve

159
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: the people that you want to bring these tools to.

160
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: So I think I'm gonna answer this question from the

161
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: lens of a facilitator and a teacher. But you know,

162
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: a place that felt really good for me to start

163
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: with people, especially in environments and in communities where some

164
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: of the ways I experience wellness and my and my

165
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: daily practice, would it necessarily be able to be um

166
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: replicated getting people to a space where they can understand

167
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: how to slow down is so powerful. You know, sometimes

168
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: meditation really isn't the first step depending UM. Our bodies

169
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: can really react strongly to it, especially if they house

170
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: a lot of PTSD or CPTSD. So what you want

171
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: to do UM if that is feeling present where you

172
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: are getting people to rethink how they experience time and

173
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: their day. So it could be like teaching some practices

174
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: like sharing with the audience. You know, every time you

175
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: feel yourself moving really fast, just notice it and ask

176
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: yourself if you can slow down. Sometimes the answer to

177
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: that question will be known. Because you are working, you're surviving,

178
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: you're having to multitask, you're doing a lot of things.

179
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: You know, some people have really really burdened days and

180
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: experiences UM and no support in that, you know. So

181
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: the idea of telling someone to build out this hour

182
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: long p this it's harmful. You know, it's not possible,

183
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: and it it feels it can feel shameful UM or

184
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: like even more of a glaring response to how UM

185
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: sometimes hard your life feels. And so helping people understand

186
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: that sometimes we're program to move really fast because we've

187
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: been surviving for a long time, but there is an

188
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: opportunity to slow down occasionally. You know, if you're if

189
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: you're walking really fast just because your body is used

190
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: to that, but you don't actually have to, You're missing

191
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: an opportunity to regulate your nervous system. You're missing an

192
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to take deeper breaths that can potentially help fuel

193
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: the rest of your day. You're missing opportunities to just

194
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: be with yourself, to connect to joy, or to release

195
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: some grief because it's present. Whatever it is that your

196
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: body needs, we do need to find opportunities to slow.

197
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: So I hope I'm answering this question in a way

198
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: that is useful. But you know, I would say sometimes

199
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: the very foundational baseline, when you are serving communities that

200
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: don't naturally have the opportunities to expand in this work

201
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: of mindfulness and wellness, teaching new ways to experience time

202
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: and our bodies can be a really powerful shift. Ah,

203
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: thank you for that question. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

204
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: I was really good rocking. Oh my god, these count Okay,

205
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: these questions are amazing. Um, and I'm getting questions, a

206
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: lot of questions from one particular person, and so these

207
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: are wow. Thank you for these. I love them. Another

208
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: question I got is can you discuss more about energy

209
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: leaks and one's unfinished business and pursuits. So, if you

210
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: ever connect with me on social media or if you've

211
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: seen any videos I've done or podcasts I've done with

212
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: other people, something that I do talk about a lot

213
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: is not leaking your energy, and the way that I

214
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: kind of express that is in service too. It's really

215
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: important to being alignment in our daily choices. When you

216
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: embark on a path of healing. Sometimes we are just

217
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: looking at that bigger heal, right, Like, especially if it's

218
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: something that has been really powerful in our lives, you know, um,

219
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: if it's like a big trauma, or if it's a

220
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: big relationship or the thing we focus on the mountain,

221
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: and so we think everything about how we're healing or

222
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: getting better is in service to that one specific thing,

223
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: and we don't always see all of the small, tiny

224
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: ways that that and many other things have affected how

225
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: we move in the world and how we flow in

226
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: our own integrity, how we have dignity for ourselves and others.

227
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: And it is really important on a path of healing,

228
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: especially for you to be able to not just intellectualize

229
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: what you're learning, but live it and um to have

230
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: the life that you deserve and to have the connections

231
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: that you deserve. It's really important that we monitor our

232
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: smaller choices and our day to day interactions. And so

233
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: energy leaking is kind of a byproduct of not being intentional.

234
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: Even in those small moments, you find that you are

235
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: just kind of um letting the air out of your healing.

236
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: You're leaking this beautiful healing that you've begun to store

237
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: in your body on those bigger things. UM, you're letting

238
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: it leak out every time you don't honor the smaller

239
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: choices or the smaller ways that you show up in

240
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: the world and show up in other people's lives. And

241
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: so I believe with every ounce of my being that

242
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: the only way to really embody healing and change your

243
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: life in the ways that you're dreaming about is to

244
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: be UM in very tight aligned choice making and uh

245
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: really really kind of take responsibility for your character UM

246
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: in all moments and in all interactions, and and not

247
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: give yourself that thing of you know, UM, not to

248
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: beat up on yourself, but to just really look to

249
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: make the better choice the majority of the time, UM,

250
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: even in the small ways. So thank you for that question.

251
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that I think about stuff

252
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: like that all the time, UM when I'm sharing. Okay,

253
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: let's find another great question. Oh, here's a wonderful question. Okay,

254
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: how do you integrate balance with your personal healing journey

255
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: and with your marriage partnership? Love that question, And I

256
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: know a lot of people kind of walk through that

257
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: where you feel like you might be on a certain path,

258
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: but maybe the person um, you know, the love in

259
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: your life, for the partnership in your life, is not

260
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: on that path and the same pace that you are, UM,

261
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: and you don't want to grow apart, or maybe you

262
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: just want to make sure you're able to just stay

263
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: together and move forward and and be able to understand

264
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: one another at a deeper level. So I think you

265
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: know a way to answer that question would be I

266
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: think it's important to get clear on what are the

267
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: over arch values and mission that you want for your partnership,

268
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: for your household, for your family. You know. I think

269
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 1: when we get really clear on what are the values

270
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: that are important to us, you know, maybe coming up

271
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: even with five specific pillars that are going to represent

272
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: what your family is, what your decision making is made around. UM,

273
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: when you get clear on that, it becomes a lot

274
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: easier to stay in flow with one another even if

275
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: we're growing at different paces. So you know, is is

276
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 1: personal growth of value for your family system that will

277
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 1: kind of let you know how far you can go

278
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: individually or together. Um is wellness as well being is

279
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: mental health, is emotional regulation. Is that something that's important

280
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: to the both of you as a unit, as a system.

281
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: And I think if those answers are yes, if if

282
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: one or all are yes, then from there you're able

283
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: to kind of create a safe container to speak freely

284
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: about your needs, about maybe the areas you're working on

285
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: in yourself. Sometimes in partnership, especially if personal work is

286
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: new to your family systems. Sometimes in partnership, if one

287
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: partner is saying they want to work on themselves, the

288
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: other person is thinking it's because of or in response

289
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: to them, and we make everything really personal. But also

290
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: if we're not sharing the ways we want to work

291
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: on ourselves and some of the context for why, with

292
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: those valuable relationships in our lives, UM, we miss an

293
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to connect more deeply. We miss an opportunity to

294
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: give and receive love to one another. So if there's

295
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: something that you're working on individually, that is just about you.

296
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: It could be so beautiful to be vulnerable and to

297
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: open yourself to your partner and share that and share

298
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, what is the deeper, the deeper thing that

299
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: you're working on with this What was maybe the pain

300
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: or the experience as a younger version of you that

301
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: led to you wanting to do this work. Now, you know,

302
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: we we got to share language with each other, We

303
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: got to teach each other how to talk to one another,

304
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: how to be safe, how to how to kind of

305
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: expand in ourselves, and then it makes it less personal.

306
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: And you know, when things become less personal to us,

307
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: then we can really show up and support other people

308
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: the way they deserve to be supported, and vice versa

309
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: and all of those beautiful things. That's such a dance.

310
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: Thank you for that question. Um Let's see what is

311
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: another question. Here's another really beautiful question. How to reconnect

312
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,719
Speaker 1: with your adult self not having an environment to know

313
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: self in childhood? Really beautiful, quite Sian. Thank you for

314
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: asking this. Um. So, the way that I'm experiencing this

315
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: question is you're asking, you know, how do you how

316
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: do you get to know yourself? How do you connect

317
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: to the core of your identity when as a child,

318
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: perhaps you were repressed, suppressed or disconnected in some way

319
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: from being able to get to know honor uh and

320
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: experience emotions within yourself. This is something that's so so

321
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: so so many of us experience as young people, and

322
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: it's usually the core of what leads all of us

323
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: to the to our work and what leads all of

324
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: us to um many of the challenges that we experience

325
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: as adults. So this is such a gorgeous question, so

326
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: uh so happy to be answering this because first, one

327
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: of the first steps to being able to really tap

328
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: into more of who you are right like, you're probably experiencing,

329
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, pieces of you and and definitely seeing like

330
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: the glimmer and the potential and the beauty and what

331
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: could emerge. And what's so powerful about this moment that

332
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're in is you just need a

333
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: little more time with you. Um. The first thing that

334
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: I would recommend is create some distance from the people

335
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: in your life. It's really imperative when you're looking to

336
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: um access points of yourself that you never have before.

337
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: You need a blink canvas, you need freedom. You do

338
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: not need reflected back to you or mirrored, you know,

339
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: other people's perceptions of you that you've already outgrown. You

340
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: need the time in the space to uncover these parts

341
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: of you for yourself, and then to get to know

342
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: them and to be in practice with them before you

343
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: have to show up against people that are always going

344
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: to experience you as the version they're most comfortable with.

345
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: I hope I'm making any sense. Um, Yeah, I hope

346
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm expressing this in the way that I feel it.

347
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: But time alone is imperative on your path and even

348
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: from you know, the relationships that feel really beautiful and

349
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: special and that that are healthy and honoring in our lives.

350
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: You need the space to become more and so just

351
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: having time to back up a little bit, having time

352
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: to not have to be pressured to do things to

353
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: show up for people, being able to take off some

354
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: of the roles that you wear with others is really important.

355
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: At this part of the journey. You have to strip yourself.

356
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: You have to get out of performance. And it doesn't

357
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: even have to mean in bad ways, right like, it

358
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have to mean that everything is toxic or you

359
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: know that there's a there's an issue everywhere. But it

360
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: just means that if you're used to doing something, because

361
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: that's what you're used to, you need to give yourself

362
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: a break from it so you can see if you

363
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: actually still want to. Um, it's about coming back into choice.

364
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: It's about returning back to yourself with a zoomed out

365
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: view so you can be in choice in creating something

366
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: that feels like more you know, that feels better, that

367
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: feels aligned with the truth of who you are. So

368
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: I would say, carve out more time for yourself. Um,

369
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: I think definitely. And and we're going to have a

370
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: lot of different moments that this is going to be required.

371
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: You know, every couple of years, you're gonna need to

372
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: space yourself out a little bit and zoom out and

373
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: get more connected to self. I remember one of the

374
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: first times I started doing that. It was Shanja Rymes

375
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: had this really beautiful book called The Year of Yes.

376
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: And I remember a few years after that it had

377
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: come to me in a meditation and God said, this

378
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: is your year of No. You need to say no

379
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: to everything. And I remember being like, God, what what

380
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: do you mean by that? Like no, I gotta take

381
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: opportunities like no, you know, think I gotta keep moving forward,

382
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: and da da, and God was just very explicitly clear

383
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: with me that I needed a season of no because

384
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: I needed to recalibrate and grow into the bigger yes.

385
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: So I remember this year, you know, I let things

386
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: really really slow down, and I stopped kind of leading

387
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: with optics and perception, and I said no to really

388
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: big things, things that were meaningful for me at the time.

389
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: And ultimately it was just one of the most powerful

390
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: things I ever did. Like, it upleveled my spirit, it

391
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: upleveled my ability to express my purpose in just such

392
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: a really really important way for my life. So, you know,

393
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: sometimes I recommend just lean into a season of no.

394
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: Say say no to big stuff. You know, maybe you

395
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: don't have to. Maybe it's just about the little stuff.

396
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just say no to every friend that wants

397
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: to go out, saying no to every invite and intentionally

398
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: staying in the house. And even if you feel bored,

399
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: investigate what can I do to fill my time. As

400
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: you begin that road, you really start to look reconnect

401
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: to curiosities that you and gifts and talents that you

402
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: used to have. You also get to figure out what

403
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: it is that you like you start to get creative,

404
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: you start to your taste change and expand, and you

405
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: just get to grow and stretch a little bit. Um.

406
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 1: But you can't do that if you're always busy, if

407
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: you're always active, if you're always kind of being perceived

408
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: by others, if you're always perceiving others, um, if you're

409
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: always in a space of being witnessed, sometimes you need

410
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: to pull back so you can kind of refine and

411
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: chisel and sculpt yourself. So I hope that answers the question.

412
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: Loved that question, and I think we'll hold it here.

413
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: These were some really, really, really gorgeous questions. So I'll

414
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: be revisiting more of this soon. I'll be doing more

415
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: of this on my I G and if you don't already,

416
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: connect with me on Instagram at Debbie Brown. And I

417
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: will be back very very soon next week with another episode.

418
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: UM excited. Some of the people that will be talking

419
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: to you on the show soon are amazing, people like

420
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: Dr Joy hard In from Therapy for Black Girls, also

421
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: Young Pueblo. So excited to share their work and some

422
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: of those beautiful conversations that we have had. Take a

423
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: second today, your soul work for this week is to

424
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: just connect to your breath right now, the seasons are changing.

425
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: At the time of me recording this episode, it's September

426
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: and we are ushering in the fall equinox. There is

427
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: a lot of new seasonal energy coming. We're in a

428
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: retrograde period. We are coming into new energies, new opportunities,

429
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: new abilities. So it's important in times that the planet

430
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: is shifting, that our seasons are changing, we let ourselves

431
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: take the time to recalibrate, to slow down. So your

432
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: soul work through this next week is to find more

433
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: moments to take deep breaths, and I mean deep deep breaths,

434
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: like really connect, let yourself drop in just deeply at

435
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: hell and oh and pace your own self embody, just

436
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: like that. Do that throughout your day, close your eyes,

437
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: and when you can connect to the way wherever you

438
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: happen to live, that the seasons are changing. Maybe the

439
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: air it's a little crisper, a little cooler. Maybe it's

440
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: a little cooler at night or at the top of

441
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: the morning. Maybe light is coming into your home in

442
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: a different way now through the windows leaves. Just notice,

443
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: just observe, let yourself slow down in that and connect

444
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: to that God flow. Thank you for listening, Drop us
