It's kind of like 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: an intention that we're setting. I don't really like doing 17 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: the New Year's resolutions anymore. I feel like they're just 18 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: a little pointless, you know, like you just only focus 19 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: on it for one month and then it goes away. 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: And so we kind of started doing this thing where 21 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: we pick a word and that sets the intention for 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: the year. And I don't know about you, Chip, but 23 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: I find myself in certain moments of the year kind 24 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: of going back to my word, like, oh, yeah, I 25 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: told myself I was going to live or last year 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: my word was dare. I was going to dare this year. 27 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: And there's like a little board I have in my 28 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: dining room, so I see it every now and again, 29 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: and it just says the word dare. And you know, 30 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: I would be having a down day or I would 31 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: be struggling, and I'm like, no, this is the year 32 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: of Dare, and I have to get back to that. 33 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: And so whatever I would need to do within my 34 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: day to do that to bring it back to that, 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: I really would try to do because that's the intention. 36 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: I said, do you do that? 37 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: Yes? 38 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: And no, I don't have anything that like, I don't 39 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: have anything that shows it to me on a constant basis, 40 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: but certainly when I'm like dealing with something, I think 41 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: my last year my word was purpose. And so when 42 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: I was dealing with things or had tough decisions to make, 43 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: or if I was down and felt like I needed 44 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: to reflect, like, yeah, I would remind myself to like 45 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: figure out what the purpose was of whatever the situation 46 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: was and or if it even had any purpose in 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: my life. So it was a really helpful sort of 48 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: tool throughout the year. I mean, I don't I was 49 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: trying to think today if I had any like super 50 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: clear examples, and I couldn't remember one, to be honest. 51 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: But I also couldn't think of anything that I like 52 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: super regretted doing last year. It's interesting you say that, 53 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 2: but I did stuff with you. Yeah. 54 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: I wish that I could remember the instances that you 55 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: said it to me. But there were a couple times 56 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: where you would go, oh my god, purpose and it 57 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: was it was like the clarity would come to you 58 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: or you would have kind of this aha moment just 59 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: walking through certain situations, and I do think it helped 60 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: you live with a little more intention and just really 61 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: thinking through is this serving me? Is this not serving me? 62 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: Like I witnessed that with you. Yeah, yeah, it was 63 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: really helpful. 64 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: So I mean, if if I think of some maybe 65 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: something will come to my mind, either today or you know, 66 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: throughout the year. If I come up with an example, I'll. 67 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: Share let us know. 68 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 3: Well, I'll let you know. 69 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: My word, like I said, was dare, And I was 70 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: thinking about it while I was prepping for this podcast. 71 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 1: I was like, what did I dare? Though? What were 72 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: the things, and I was like, wait a second, I 73 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: actually did do some really kind of hard things for me, 74 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, like other people might look at them and 75 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: be like, oh, that wasn't a big deal. But knowing 76 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: my history and especially the last couple of years, I've 77 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: looked back and I was like, Oh, I'm really proud 78 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: of myself. Like I got back into the dating world, 79 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: which I had been in a pretty bad relationship, which 80 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: I've talked about a lot on this podcast, and actually 81 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: my thirties, I feel like we're bad relationship. I actually 82 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: don't even want to say bad anymore though. I just 83 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: feel like they all serve their purpose in my life, 84 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: and I'm actually really grateful for all of them at 85 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: this point because it launched me into who I am now, 86 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: which seems to be the way I typically look back 87 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: on relationships. It's tough, but they were really fucking hard, yes, 88 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: and pushed me to my limits and broke me on 89 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: some days and all of that, but getting so to 90 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: get back out there. I actually think about this a lot. 91 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: Anyone who has gone through major heartbreak, which I think 92 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: at our age, if you haven't, then you're just not 93 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: really like living your life or you're not putting yourself 94 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: out there, I would guess. But the fact that we 95 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: go through heartbreak and then we go back and do 96 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: it again and try to do it differently, Like that's 97 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: the bravest fucking thing ever if you really think about it. 98 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: In dating, it's like really brave, and a lot of 99 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: us do it. And so I had this moment of 100 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: just kind of being like, Okay, you know, like I 101 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: started looking at dating in a totally different way. And 102 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: even the situations like I got on the apps, which 103 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: was really hard. That's like very vulnerable. If you haven't 104 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: ever done it before, it's kind of scary, and yeah, 105 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: yeah people can judge you or what if you objected 106 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: or yeah, yeah, there's a lot to it. But but yeah, 107 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: like I just started looking at dating in a totally 108 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: different way. Like every single person I even went on 109 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: a date with taught me something. And when you shift 110 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: to the narrative to something like that one, it makes 111 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: it a little less scary because it doesn't have this 112 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: whole like oh my god, is this the person I'm 113 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: gonna marry energy? You know, like it's just sort of 114 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: like and some of them were here to help me 115 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: say no or me to say like, hey, I think 116 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: we're on different journeys and like have to break up 117 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: with somebody or something like that. Like that was really 118 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,119 Speaker 1: tough for me. And I know that some people listening 119 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: might be like, oh, that's not hard, but it was 120 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: for me. And I also started posting on social media again, 121 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: which was really really hard after some of the stuff 122 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: I've talked about, just like the public exposure and humiliation 123 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: and all of that, Like who wants to put themselves 124 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: nothing there after that? 125 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: Right? 126 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: But I do feel like there's something in me that 127 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: I just need to connect with people on a big 128 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: level like that, and so I'm trying to power through it. 129 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: And I really made some progress last year. Again might 130 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: look small to other people, but for me it was massive. 131 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: And I did that through working with the somatic therapist 132 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: that I've talked about a lot, also really hard work anyway, 133 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: with that, I just yeah, I was looking back and 134 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: I was thinking, Okay, I really want to say out 135 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: loud like I don't take the time all the time 136 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: to give myself the credit. I don't think a lot 137 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: of us do. And looking back is always really interesting 138 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: to be like, oh I did dare to do some things. 139 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: Maybe they look small to other people, but for me, 140 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: I know they were big, and so that felt like 141 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: a success. But I want to move into what our 142 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: our words are this year because it's actually like the 143 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: second week of January, so we're a little behind. But 144 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: did you come up with anything good? 145 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? I feel really vulnerable that I know. 146 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: Why do you feel nervous? Though? 147 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: I don't know. 148 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: I feel like you're listeners every week. 149 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: Well, it's also like I'm committing to it. So but 150 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: my word drum roll, I mean, it's a pretty simple word. 151 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: It's explore and it's got I arrived at that word 152 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: for several meanings because there's a lot of sides to it. 153 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: The most obvious right now, since I'm tuning in from 154 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: MAUI is to travel more like I want to expore 155 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: places in the world, in the physical world that I've 156 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: never been.

One of them is flat 344 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: and one of them's a little rocky. I will take 345 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: off my braw at the end of the night and like, 346 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: oh my boob, there's like an intention. 347 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 3: But like your nipples really hard.

And I've been on set the 355 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: last three days, so they've been living there. 356 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 2: So is it Is it in your bra because it's 357 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 2: closer to sort of your heart center, like you could 358 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: it in your pocket. 359 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: I think you can put it in your pocket. No, 360 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: but for me, like for girls, our pants are tighter, 361 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: so you know, you see it. And yeah, And so 362 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: I mean sometimes I'll put like the flat one in 363 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: my pocket, but it just bothers me or I'm afraid 364 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna fall out or whatever, so I'd rather just 365 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: keep it in my braw where I know it's safe. Also, 366 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: this is like kind of a funny note for the listeners. 367 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: I guess my brawls are so padded so I really 368 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: feel it, you know, like no one else can when 369 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: they hug me, I guess. But anyway, well, I love 370 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: that word for you, and I think it's going to 371 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: be really interesting. You need to start taking notes throughout 372 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: your year so next year when we report back, I 373 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: really remember the like the things, the epiphanies that you 374 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: had with this word. But I think this could be 375 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: a really good one for you. 376 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 3: I think so too. Yeah, I'm going to start a 377 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 3: note in my phone. 378 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: I also love notes everyone not so what ish? 379 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: Okay? So my word it was really interesting As I was, 380 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: it was kind of I guess, you know, the week 381 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: before Christmas and I just started to sort of take 382 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: time off from work and that's when my head starts 383 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: to get really clear, when I don't have an agenda 384 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,479 Speaker 1: in the day and I can just sit and the 385 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: word just kept coming to my mind, and I was like, 386 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: that's kind of a boring word, like is that really 387 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: what I want? 388 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 2: What? 389 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: Or is that really what I feel? But everything in 390 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: my body just keeps saying that that is the way 391 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: that this year needs to be for me, and that's 392 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: kind of the next step of where I have been. 393 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: And so my word this year is discipline. And when 394 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: I really started thinking about what's happening astrologically, stay with 395 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: me here people who don't believe in astrology. But but 396 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: if you listen to this podcast and you don't believe 397 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: in astrology, that would be weird. So I'm assuming my student, right, 398 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: I just don't know about it. Yeah, if you don't 399 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: know a lot about it, A lot of the energies 400 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: and the shifting that's happening for us, even tomorrow or 401 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: this week is a Capricorn new moon, and there's just 402 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: a lot of that discipline energy in there. It's like 403 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: a very like driven, hard working, motivated sign. And so 404 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is probably no mistake that 405 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: this is coming in. But then also I just know 406 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: that I've spent so much of the last couple of 407 00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: years focusing on healing and like rebuilding and surviving, Like 408 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: there's so much when trauma happens or whatever. I think 409 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: there's been times in my life where I could move 410 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: and just keep going and like keep moving forward or 411 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: building new things and this was not one of those times. 412 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: I mean I literally just broke down and finally gave 413 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: myself the grace to kind of just really focus on that. Also, 414 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: just didn't have a choice. Like if anyone listening is 415 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: a big feeler like me, sometimes those big emotions just 416 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: take you out, you know, like I will physically start 417 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: having symptoms, or I get sick, or I'm just so 418 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: exhausted and brain foggy that there's just no way that 419 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: I could be super driven or disciplined because you kind 420 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: of got to wake up every day and just see 421 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: what you can get done that day or just how 422 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: you're feeling exactly. And I've been living there for a while. 423 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: I mean I don't think i've been like the last year, 424 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: I feel like I've lived. But again, like I know 425 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people probably feel me on this, but 426 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: the COVID stuff, it didn't just go away when the 427 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: world been back up. I mean, that's that's a big 428 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: hit on that. You know, our whole business shut down. 429 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: So it's been a lot of just rebuilding, and I 430 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: think this year feels more like I'm ready to build 431 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: something new and I'm ready to push forward in ways 432 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: that I haven't yet and just kind of integrate all 433 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: the stuff that I've gone through, all the stuff that 434 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: I've learned, and integrate that into this new whatever it is. 435 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm feeling like really excited to feel that 436 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: motivation again. That's a huge part of my personality. I've 437 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: always been super driven, but I haven't been able to 438 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: be the last couple of years. But I think, like 439 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: when I think about the word discipline, the reason I 440 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: said that is because when you're going through all the feelings, 441 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: and like I said, you just wake up and you 442 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: just kind of got to see where you are and 443 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: you're like ebbing and flowing constantly. That feels like a 444 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: very or let me say this also, I also was 445 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: trying to really nurture myself and like develop a real 446 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: relationship with myself, a real loving kindness, and all of 447 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: it felt very like feminine energy, which is what I 448 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: what I am. Like, that's a huge I'm way more 449 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: on that scale than masculine, but I feel like I 450 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: need to like balance it a little bit more, and 451 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: so discipline feels like just the structure of even my 452 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: morning routine or like making sure clausets are cleaned out, 453 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: you know, that that really helps my brain have more 454 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: free space. Even my workouts like having you know, like 455 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to work out at least three times a week. 456 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: That's just like my goal every time. Is like the 457 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: discipline of that whatever it is. But it's just so 458 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: easy to get distracted, you know, like you have work, 459 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: or you're tired, or you're with your significant other or 460 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: whatever it is. And I'm just going to be a 461 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: little more disciplined and dedicated to whatever it is I 462 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: commit myself to. 463 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 3: So that's the word I like it. 464 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 2: I also like that the word discipline, Like you said 465 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 2: you want to like build something new. Yes, Like so 466 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 2: discipline as a noun is also like you know, like 467 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: a field of study ranch. So it's like, so that 468 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 2: is like a new you're looking for a new discipline too. 469 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I didn't even know that. 470 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 471 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. It's like you know when you say, like, well, 472 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 2: what's your in like college, you'd be like, well, what's 473 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 2: what's your discipline? 474 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, yeah, you're so right. 475 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. 476 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: So the thing that I wouldn't ever be in is mas. 477 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: But that's really funny. 478 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, not more specialized thing, you know. 479 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: Which is a huge, like I needed to do all 480 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: the stuff I've done the last couple of years, because 481 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I said this the other day on my Instagram, 482 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: but all of the hardship and then all of the 483 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: healing work and all of the you know whatever studies 484 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 1: or whatever things that I did the last couple of years, 485 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: they really did change who I am. And I really 486 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: want to like take all that stuff and then move 487 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: it into the new thing. And so it's not like 488 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: it was, it was lost, it's just now it's like, Okay, now, 489 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: what's the balance, you know, the balance between that and 490 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: this new place? And like, how do I step forward 491 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: into a new energy without just leaving everything behind? I 492 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: don't know. It's also an eight year, which if you 493 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 1: know anything about numerology, which I'm starting to learn about, 494 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: and if you don't know anything, there is a podcast 495 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: with Ren Diaz on The Velvet's Edge podcast and we 496 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: start to talk about the basics of numerology. But this 497 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: is an eight year and unless you're like not paying 498 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: attention to anything on Instagram or TikTok, people are talking 499 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: about this a lot. But it's that's a year that 500 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: signals abundance, and I don't think that it means that 501 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: we're not going to go through anything hard this year, 502 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: because there's also karmic lessons tied in this. But the 503 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: eight year is prosperous. It's abundant, and I'm like, I 504 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: want those things, but you can't sit on your ass 505 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: and get this thing, you know, like you got to 506 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: get up and get pay work exactly, and I'm just 507 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: ready to do that finally. 508 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 3: Far. But how is it an year? O numbers up 509 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 3: to eight or something? 510 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you cut out a little bit. So I'm gonna 511 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: say I know what you just said, and I'm going 512 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: to say it to the listeners because you cut out. 513 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: But he asked, how do you know an eight it's 514 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: something as an eight year, and yes, twenty twenty four 515 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: adds up to eight, so for you got it, Okay 516 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: take the year. Yeah, And so last year was a 517 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: seven year, which was all about like seven years are 518 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: all about introspection, and I do think like it's like 519 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: so crazy once you start learning about this stuff, because 520 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: you're like, holy shit, like looking back after COVID, I 521 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: do think last year a lot of people were still 522 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: sort of like, Okay, the world is moving again, but 523 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: like it's different. And maybe it's not ever going to 524 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: quote unquote go back to normal. So what do I 525 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: want to do with my life? Who am I? 526 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 3: Actually? 527 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: Am I living out my purpose? Like people are really 528 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: starting to pay a little more attention since the pandemic, 529 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: and I think that was very significant of the seven years. 530 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: So now we're moving into the eight. Yeah. 531 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's I mean, it may be something that 532 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: like you can find like if you know your life, 533 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 2: you can be like, oh my god, this totally applies 534 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 2: to me. But I also think that's not just wo 535 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: wo shit, Like there's a reason why it applies to 536 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 2: you that that is that it's so it's that's interesting. 537 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: I haven't really looked at TikTok this year, so I'll 538 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: have to dig into the numerology. 539 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 3: But it has nothing to do with like nye agram though, right. 540 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: No, it's totally different and it's more like astrology. Yeah, 541 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: like and I'll figure out your personal your personal number. 542 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things all about I'll send you 543 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: after this podcast about you, but just you know, it's good. 544 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: It's just to me, it's like helpful to know where 545 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: you are and like to know we're doing we're going 546 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: the way I look at life. Let me say this. 547 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: The way I look at life is that we come 548 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: here to learn these lessons and evolve as a human, 549 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: and so everything you're going through is here to teach 550 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: you something. I think people probably hear people say that 551 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: a lot, but not in this way of like everything 552 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: happens for a reason, because that's cruel, you know, like 553 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: a lot of bad shit happens, painful shit, hurtful shit. 554 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: And I would never say to someone, oh, well, everything 555 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: happens for a reason. But I do think things are 556 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: here to teach us something, and even our losses and 557 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: our pains and all of that stuff. And so when 558 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: you can kind of start to make sense of why 559 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: maybe certain years are harder than others, it's like you 560 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: can look at your astrology or look at the numerology 561 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: even and figure out why you might be going through that. 562 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: Like one, it helps me to stay out of comparison 563 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: because I'm like Joe over there looks like he's living 564 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 1: his best life. Why am I? 565 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 3: You know, right, make that out of bed? 566 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: But it's like, oh no, because I'm in my Saturn 567 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: return or something. And it's like you start to understand, 568 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: like where you are on your journey, and we all 569 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: have completely different journeys. 570 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 2: So what it also helps you understand that there's change coming, 571 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: you know, like if you can understand, even in a 572 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 2: small way, where you are on your journey, it says, okay, 573 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 2: this is just a time and place for you exactly. 574 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: And you can settle in a little bit more. 575 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 3: Right. 576 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 2: I'm you know, I it's not that I don't believe 577 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 2: or am not interested. Maybe it's one of the things 578 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 2: that I'll explore in in numerology or astrology. It's it 579 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: just seems like there's so much to learn, and I 580 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 2: feel like I'm really far behind. So it's like do 581 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 2: I really want to bite off that apple? But I 582 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,959 Speaker 2: do believe that I am just a speck of energy 583 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 2: in this big web of the universe, and for that reason, 584 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 2: I believe that like there is purpose to everything, Like 585 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: I am here for a reason, for a very specific reason, 586 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 2: and it's just like a game of chess when something moves, 587 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: like I have I have my energy has to move 588 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: to fill holes or whatever. So that I think because 589 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 2: I believe that, I think that astrology and numerology all 590 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 2: that stuff would make sense to me. 591 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 3: Right if I would just be brave enough to like 592 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: sort of tackle it all. 593 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 2: But like I know, when I'm around like it tends 594 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: to be when I'm around like you guys at all, 595 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 2: it just sounds like a bunch of fucking Greek. You're like, 596 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 2: oh my god, tell me he has And it's. 597 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 3: Like, I'm like, can you all actually say what you mean? 598 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 3: Can you speak English? Yeah? 599 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: I know, Mary and I our friend Mary and I 600 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: will get on these tangents sometimes and I know nobody 601 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: around us knows what we're talking about, and we're just 602 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: looking at each other and we're like, oh my god, 603 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: I know, right, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. 604 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: And I start talking so fast and she starts talking 605 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: so fast. Yeah, and we are those girls for sure. 606 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: I meet someone, I'm like, what time were you born? 607 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: Then Ray and I are like another cocktail please? Right? Yeah. 608 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: But I mean, also, you don't have to bite it 609 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: all off at the same time. So I'm sure a 610 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: lot of people listening identify with what you're saying, because 611 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: I know it can feel overwhelming and there's so many 612 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: different modalities. But that's the reason I even like doing 613 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: this podcast is because I get to interview the experts 614 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: and these things. And then also it's just like a 615 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: little bite sized nugget of the different modalities and then 616 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: you get to pick which one you are drawn to 617 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: or that speaks. 618 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 2: I would guess that the best way to go about 619 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 2: even starting to learn is to see how it relates 620 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 2: to you, Like learn about your own sign, your own numbers, yes, 621 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 2: all of that, because then it's like, oh, well that 622 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 2: makes sense, that makes sense. 623 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: That makes sense nowadays those apps for everything, So it 624 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: just makes it so much easier. You got to do 625 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: is figure out your birth time, and I can find 626 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: out a whole lot of shit. 627 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 3: I have it, I can text it to you. 628 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: Okay, great, I'll just so much to do after this podcast. 629 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,239 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I like I have it time. I've 630 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: been up since five. Yeah. Anyway, I really love your word. 631 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what you explore, and I 632 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: do think that you are probably drawn to that for 633 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: a certain reason. One more thing about your word. When 634 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: you were talking about the travel and you how you 635 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: really want to dive into the cultures and stuff, you 636 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: just kind of said it again. But it's like you're 637 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: this spec of energy amongst all these other energies. And 638 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: what a great way to be reminded of how we're 639 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: all connected when you go examine like other cultures and 640 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: people and see their troubles and see their highs even 641 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: you know, like it's right, probably a lot more similar 642 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: to you than you would think, and so finding that 643 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: common ground, I think that's going to beautiful for you. 644 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 3: I think so too. I think so too. 645 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 2: Well, I'm excited for your discipline because you can help 646 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 2: keep me disciplined too. 647 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 3: Okay, that is a goal of mine.
