00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Thank you. I was going to say we're back, but

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: I don't think we actually left the podcast. We we did,

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: but like because we pre recorded some stuff, but I

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: think the people have still been hearing from us everything,

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: A little bit of got you. It's a little strange

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: because it's a Wednesday and here you are, and you're

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: usually only on on Fridays. Do you have to behave

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: myself today? Talk really calmly like those that skit on

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: SNL where they are like NPR hosts. Yeah, let's do

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: that the whole episode and see how it. Guess did

13
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: you hear how many syllables I made the word host hosts?

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: My god, It's like the sable people are like, okay,

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: so this is what happens on Friday. Thank um. So

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: anyway you are here, you're gonna be here on Friday

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: as well. It's like a double chip week, a little

18
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: extra bonus action for the people. Um. But I was

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: saying to you before we got on the call that

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: I keep getting messages. I was posting about my trip

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: on Instagram, and then it got to the place where

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: like I really just wanted to be present on the trip,

23
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: and so I was like, I can't do content right now,

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: but I promised the people that I would give the

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: content later because there's so much and there's so many

26
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: things people want to know about Bali. It was a

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: big spiritual experience for me, and so it's a very

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: in line with what we talked about on the podcast.

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: So I thought I would just put it all in

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: one place because even friends are asking, you know, my parents, everybody.

31
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: Instead of telling the story a million times, I figured

32
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: I would just come here and tell everybody you were

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: one asking questions, So why don't you just come on

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: and do it with are you like when people ask you, like,

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: how was your trip, You're just gonna send him a link.

36
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be like, here you go. I'm not

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: even gonna answer you, like, I hope you got thirty minutes.

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: Here you go boo. Yeah. I was like, one of

39
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: the things I learned on the trip was to protect

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: my energy. So there you go, here's the link, guys. Um.

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's a lot of Like when I first

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: was going to Bali, I think that this overriding sense

43
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: in America that you and I have talked about multiple times, um,

44
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: and that a lot of people are just feeling it's

45
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: just this heaviness. And I was really feeling that just

46
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: like I'm so tired and feeling this like kind of exhaustion,

47
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: burnout feeling from all the divisiveness. Um. It's that feeling

48
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: of like every time you get geared back up and

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: like things are kind of looking better, things are shaping

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: up in America, and all of a sudden, then it's

51
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: like another hit and we're back at war with each

52
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: other and fighting and like this side we're set side,

53
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 1: and somebody's wrong and somebody is a villain. I don't

54
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: know just all of it. It's it's just exhausting. And

55
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: I got I was getting wrapped up in it too,

56
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: because you just start to be like feeling like you

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: have to defend, you know. It's like I think we're

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: all just triggered into this, like wait, this isn't right,

59
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: and so whatever it is that we think is right,

60
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: we just feel so um lead to fight, and that

61
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: to me is exhausting. So I was feeling that big time,

62
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: really feeling like this thing of I don't really know

63
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: how to help and like what my role and like

64
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: you and I have talked to this, like our role

65
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: together having this platform really is like what what are

66
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: we what should we be doing to help people? Like

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: do we need to start giving our opinions? Do we

68
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: need to start educating where we can do we need

69
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: to stay silent? Like it's very confusing with how to

70
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: navigate that. And I was really hoping to get some

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: clear when I went to Bali, and I really feel

72
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: like I did, I really do UM And maybe we'll

73
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: get to that in a little bit, but most of

74
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: it came from actually just getting some space from the chaos,

75
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you just sometimes have

76
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: to separate yourself. I mean nothing like having to go

77
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: across the world literally like around the world to excitedly

78
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 1: get enough silence to hear yourself think and to even

79
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: know like what you think or what you want to do,

80
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: or how you can find your peace, Like I really

81
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: couldn't find it here, and I know that for everyone,

82
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: you can't just go to Bally. So you know, we'll

83
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: talk about maybe some tips of how to do things

84
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: um in America for yourself or wherever you are if

85
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: you're not in America. I know we have some people

86
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: from other places listening to but um, yes, I'm just

87
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: gonna talk through the trip. If questions come up for you,

88
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: feel free to ask, because I'm sure you're the voice

89
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: of the people. Yeah, I will, I will. I want

90
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: to just really quickly, UM say, you know, you went

91
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 1: with our friend Mary and I was with her yesterday

92
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: and we were in a meeting and someone asked how

93
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: it was and she said, Um, it was life changing

94
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: on a cellular level. Yeah. Yeah. She She remarked to that, like,

95
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think this plays into what you just

96
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: said about like finding the quiet. She was like, none

97
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: of these people have social media. They're not they're not

98
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: encumbered by what's going on in the world. Like the

99
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: world to them is their world. Um, and they live

100
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: this like really sort of peaceful existence because they're not

101
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: encumbered by a lot of the bullshit that's going on.

102
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: That's said, it's not easy for everyone to escape that.

103
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: You know, not everyone is in BALI So I do

104
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: think you know, it's in some ways it's the fight,

105
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: um that we feel like we are being led to do.

106
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: It's a little bit because like you know, um, we

107
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: feel that America in particular is sort of getting away

108
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: from what America really stood for and you know, to

109
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: be an example for the world of like truly what

110
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: freedom is. Um. And I think it's just a scary

111
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: time because we've been so fortunate, like not everyone in

112
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: America has been fortunate. You and I have been fortunate

113
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: that um, our freedoms have generally been sort of in place. Um,

114
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: and we've well that's funny that you say that, though,

115
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 1: because you're a gay man and I'm a woman. Yeah,

116
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: but we're white too, you know, and so like there's

117
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: there's definitely like, look, it hasn't been perfect, but in

118
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things, our rights have barely you know,

119
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: pretty much been there. Um. And now they're being called

120
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: into questions. So um, yeah, a couple of things to

121
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: that is one thing that just popped in my head

122
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: at the same time as I was Bolly. I've been

123
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: watching this show called The First Lady, which if you

124
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: have not watched it, I highly recommend to everyone. It

125
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: is so well done and it follows the stories of

126
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: Eleanor Roosevelt, UM, Betty Ford, and Michelle Obama. So very three,

127
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: very impactful first ladies and um they all did major

128
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: things for change reform rights of minority parties. And when

129
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: you watch the show, it will blow your mind because

130
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: it is the exact same issues that we're fighting right now.

131
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: None of this is new, like we want to act

132
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: like we're like, oh my god, now we're just you know,

133
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden overtaken by all these new issues.

134
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: They're not new, they're new at all. In fact, we're

135
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: just reverting back and so and then we're starting to

136
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: say war over and over and over. And I was

137
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, like getting the space from it. Then

138
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: watching this show at the same time, like what a

139
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: waste of energy that we're all expending into some things.

140
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 1: Not that the topics don't matter, but that we're starting

141
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: the fights again, Like we're just literally going backwards into

142
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: these fights that we've already our country has already gone through.

143
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: Go watch that show and like look at it, you know,

144
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: just objectively, and be like, oh my god. I swear

145
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: to god, your mind will be like oh my god,

146
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: because they put it all in one place for you

147
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: to see the kind of the insanity that we're doing

148
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: right now. Well, yeah, I mean, it's it's all it's

149
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: all a construct to like, you know, make everyone mad

150
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: at each other, like they're really easy issues to sort

151
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: of just like Dredge up. Yeah, manipulation loo, Yeah, it's manipulation,

152
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: Like how do we create enemies of each other? And

153
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: um so then more evil ship gets done. So and

154
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: we're missing we're missing like a lot of I think

155
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: this is what Mary felt and what I all in

156
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: Bally is we're missing a lot of the point of

157
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: what's actually happening in our world. Like I mean, you know,

158
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: I was told by a palm reader and I'll get

159
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: to this a little bit, but like nature is fighting,

160
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna start fighting back because we have just destroyed

161
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: our earth and we're sitting here fighting about these issues

162
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: that matter. But like at the same time, then we

163
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: missed these other things that we're doing in the way

164
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: we're living and the things we're asking of ourselves as

165
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: humans that really forced us into like robotic operations, and

166
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: like we're just missing all of it to where everything's

167
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: going to implode at some point if we keep going

168
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: on this road. I really do believe it. I think

169
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: we're getting there, Like I think it's happening. We're in it.

170
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: Right now. And um. The thing that we got to

171
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: experience in Bali was people, you know, they don't live

172
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: like we live, and they live a beautiful life like

173
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: it is, you know, a lot the call sut of

174
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: living is a lot lower and people don't have as much.

175
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: But it makes you sit there and go, why do

176
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: we need so much? But we don't like when we

177
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: don't need any of the things. The things they have

178
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: are beautiful and lovely and nice, and um it just

179
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: I felt such a sense of excess in my life

180
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: just being there in general, like kind of dick, you know,

181
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: like this, like because when I'm looking at these people

182
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: that have less but have such an attitude of gratitude

183
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: and and just happiness and peace and joy, it reminds

184
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: you like the stuff, the money, the stuff that's all nice,

185
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: it's great, but it's not where you find true peace

186
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: and happiness or joy. It's just not. So we missed

187
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: the mark. So anyway to get to the trip, because

188
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: I know people are like here sick of hearing me

189
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: on my stop box. Now, Um, but we First of all,

190
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: the travel, I will admit is pretty brutal. Like I

191
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: told you that, I mean, this is I've been back

192
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: five days now, and um, I did have I did

193
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: go to a work thing uh in Virginia Beach where

194
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: I saw you as well, um, right after So I

195
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: think that added a little bit to my jet lags situation.

196
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, and I'm still feeling it, like I still

197
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: feel disoriented because it's a completely different time. It's like

198
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: thirteen hour time difference, so your days are just really off.

199
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: And the travel took us probably between thirty to thirty

200
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: five hours each way, you know, and so um, yeah,

201
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: it definitely takes it out of you, but it's worth it.

202
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: And we got there. Knowing that we got there, we

203
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: set our trip up to just kind of have a

204
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: chill first first half of the trip, so we decided

205
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: to do beach towns. We did this place called chong Goo,

206
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: and then the next place was ulu Watu, which a

207
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: lot of people might know from Eat Pray Love. Had

208
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: a very Eat Pray Love. You know, I've never read

209
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: or seen that movie. Really yeah great, yeah, great, Um,

210
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, we into two of the places that she

211
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: talks about in that book in the movie, and apparently

212
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: they've completely changed obviously since the movie, because now they're

213
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: big tourists. Destinations, but they were still lovely to me.

214
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: And um, the first one, Chongo was just a little

215
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: beach town. It's so beautiful. It's um on the coast,

216
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: but a little further north on the coast, and it

217
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: just it's like surfers and chill. And I'm trying to

218
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: think of a place in America to compare it to,

219
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: maybe like a way more chill, Venice Beach or Santa Monica,

220
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, just like beautiful water. Um, the food is

221
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: amazing in Bali, like if you appreciate food as medicine,

222
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: this is a huge place to go because they just

223
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: eat everything is fresh and like not processed and rawd too, yeah,

224
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: but like raw not meaning like gross like I don't

225
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: or a lot of I mean not a lot of

226
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: like raw meat necessarily, but just like real food, you know,

227
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: like raw vegetables in everything or cooked vegetables and everything

228
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: fresh vegetables either, I way to say it. We went

229
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: to this place in Chongo called the Avocado Factory, which

230
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: literally might be I need to open one here because

231
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: every A'm obsessed with avocados. But every item on the

232
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: menu had avocado and in some capacity like an avocado shake,

233
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: avocado toast avocado pancakes. Like it was like all these

234
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: things so good. Um, but they always offer you like

235
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, like a juice shot at the beginning of

236
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: your meal, like do you want tumeric or the things

237
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: that I really have studied a lot and really buy

238
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: into healing our bodies like internally and um, getting rid

239
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: of inflammation. Like I really do feel and believe that

240
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: we are what we eat. And that's another thing that

241
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: gets discounted a lot in our country. UM. And it's

242
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: hard because you know, we're really sick here, but we

243
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: don't really pay attention to that or talk about it. Um,

244
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: like the obesity factor, the like cancer, all these things

245
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: like we do it to ourselves and um. Anyway over there,

246
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: it's just different. It's just the way of life. Like

247
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: there's always these likes you don't even have to ask

248
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: for the vegan options because there's just like tons of

249
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: vegan options on the menu. It's like, um, I haven't

250
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: had a caesar salad in years, and there's like there

251
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: was this caesar salad made with like cash you nut

252
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: um dressing and like I don't know just all it was.

253
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: Of course right up my alley. Mary was like, oh,

254
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: my god, every minute, you know. Um, but it was

255
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: so good and so the first couple of days we

256
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: just really chilled. The other thing about these beach towns

257
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: is they have beach clubs, which is another thing we

258
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: were like, why don't we have this anywhere in America.

259
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: It's just like a beach club, like what it sounds like. Um,

260
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: they're a little bit like maybe could be considered party vibe,

261
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: but they're not like it's like vegacy or anything like that. Chill.

262
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: It's maybe I've never been to making this, but maybe

263
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: it's like that. It's just like beautiful views or like

264
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: cool activities to do at the beach club. You know.

265
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: All the pools are like infinity pools that overlook the ocean,

266
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: and um, swim up bars and just again the food

267
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: is amazing. Just the scenery itself is amazing. And the

268
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: people that work they're just like I've never had such

269
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: good service and people who were just like so happy,

270
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: Like I don't even know how to say it. They're

271
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: just like good attitudes all the time. Um, no hostility,

272
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: definitely no urgency, Like there's a little bit of island

273
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: time stuff happening, but not as bad as like Jamaica, Barbados,

274
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: what we've talked about this year. Um. So anyway, we

275
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: did that in Chongoo, we shopped a little bit and

276
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: then you know, a lot out of the places have

277
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: there's been foreigners coming in open shops, so they're just

278
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: much more developed. Like these little cities that we went to.

279
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: Um this was one of them. There's a lot of

280
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: like European shops that you can go shopping and you

281
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: feel really like a baller because in rupia's like a

282
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: million dollars or a million Rupia is like not a

283
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: lot of American dollars, so you're like taking that money

284
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: out of the bank. Mary looked at me one time.

285
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: I's just like you ever gotten four million dollars out

286
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: of the bank, Because we're just like, oh my god.

287
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: It's like it's like sticker shock when you hear the number,

288
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: but it's like a hundred bucks for us, you know,

289
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: so it's right. Um, anyway, we went shopping and then

290
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: so then we just said we kind of bounced around.

291
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: So the next last it was ulu Wa to the

292
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: other thing you to do ebolished You kind of you

293
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: get a driver, which sounds so fancy, but again it's

294
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: really inexpensive, and you become like friends with your driver,

295
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: like he was with us all week or the whole

296
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: time we were there, and moms, what's he making recommendations?

297
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: Clearly he was a local that knew everything. He's a local.

298
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: So that's like the things that what I'm about to

299
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: tell you guys about. When we were going from Chongo

300
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: to Uluwattu, he kind of took us on a little

301
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: bit of a tour. You know, they have all these

302
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: like temples, and so he took us to a temple

303
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: and we went and kind of explored, and they're just beautiful,

304
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: Like the architecture there is so um detail oriented, i

305
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: would say, like the carvings and the painting. Everything has

306
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: like it's just exactly like what you see in pictures,

307
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: but even more brilliant in person obviously. And so we

308
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: went and saw a temple that overlooks some water. Some

309
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: of these have become like touristing now and so they've

310
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: opened up a bunch of shops and this one was

311
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: kind of like that, but it was still cool to

312
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: see and still so beautiful. We did that, we drove

313
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: around a lot so we could see kind of like

314
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: the countryside and the different villages, and um, I just

315
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: enjoyed that to see, you know, more than just like

316
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: the tourist city and see kind of how people live

317
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: and um, what life looks like and all of that stuff.

318
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: So he took us to that. Then he took us

319
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: to this coffee factory. It's called luock coffee, have heard.

320
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: So we get there and it's like, I guess this

321
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: really fancy coffee and bali the way that they do it,

322
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: And a luoc is an animal and it kind of

323
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: looks like, God, what does it look like a possum? Yeah,

324
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: a little bit like that. Yeah. So you walk up

325
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: and I have like two of them in these cages

326
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: to show you what they look like, and they walk

327
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: you through the process of how they make this coffee.

328
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: So basically, the luos go into these fields which are

329
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: full of these certain plants with these beans. They eat

330
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: the beans and then they poop them out, and they

331
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: pick the the bean which comes out in their poop

332
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: out of their poop, and they open the shell and

333
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: then that's the coffee bean that they process us to

334
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: make the coffee. Wow, I did, I tried it? Yeah,

335
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's got notes of it's in a shell. So,

336
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I can see why it's not a thing.

337
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: But of course Mary and I are like trying to

338
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: hold back our laughter the whole time. The ladies like

339
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: seriously telling us about the process, and they have so

340
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 1: much pride in it, and we're like, you know, teenagers like,

341
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's right. I mean, because they have

342
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: dried poop to show you the process. It's bizarre. It's

343
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: bizarre to us, but I mean it's just you know whatever, circle, Yeah,

344
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: it is pretty good. Drink it again. I mean, I

345
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to, like it's fine to me. It's to me.

346
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: It's more expensive than other coffees there, and it was fine.

347
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: Like I hope that animals are treated well. Yeah, I

348
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think that they like keep them

349
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: in cages. I think this is like a process of

350
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: like a natural process of what happens in Bali. I

351
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: found that I like the tease in Bali more than

352
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: a coffee, Like I feel like they're more they know

353
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: tea so well. Um. Anyway, so he took us on

354
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: that little trip on our way to Uluwa to we

355
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: get to u wat To. It's a surf town. It

356
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: is amazing, Like I loved it there. Um. There's the

357
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: waves are huge, so like there's just surfers everywhere, and

358
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: there's a big like Australian community that is there. Like

359
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if they live there necessarily. I think

360
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people do, like a month or two

361
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: six months at a time, like if they can um.

362
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: But it's really not far from Australia, and so even

363
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: for vacation and stuff like it's like a five or

364
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: six hour flight, so it's a really easy There's a

365
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: lot I really didn't see that many Americans at all,

366
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: like a lot of yeah, really long journey, so a

367
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: lot of Europeans, a lot of Australians um, and so

368
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: there was a lot in Uwatsu was heavy, heavy Australian bass.

369
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: And it's just beautiful. I mean, it's exactly what you

370
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: would imagine from a surf town. It's got all the shops,

371
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: all the like little restaurants overlooking water. I probably saw

372
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: the prettiest sunset I've ever seen in my life on

373
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: this water. Um, and you're like looking up at this

374
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: beautiful sunset. I've got a picture. I didn't even try.

375
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: It was like one of those you know, when you like,

376
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: don't even try to get a good picture and you

377
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: just take it and it's that beautiful that it was

378
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: a big picture you've ever taken. There's like surfers, they're

379
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: so there's so many of them and they're so small

380
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: they look like a little fish down in the water.

381
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, it's just it was so beautiful and

382
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: peaceful in the hotel we stayed in there. I mean,

383
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: I can't even talk about it. I posted a bit

384
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: a little bit about it on Instagram, so if you

385
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: follow me you probably saw that. But um what it

386
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: was called Balilah, And I will say this, like so

387
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: my message me and they're like, whoa, you're bawling. The

388
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: flight is the most expensive part to do this kind

389
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: of trip. And then we splurged on hotels because for me,

390
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: it was like this is my fortieth birthday and um,

391
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to invest in this. This is like my thing,

392
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, to myself. But then everything else in Bali

393
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: is super cheap, Like our meals would be like for

394
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: the both of us, less than what I would pay

395
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: for my own meal here in the States. And so

396
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: like once you get there and you're if you like

397
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: you could do it a lot cheaper if you didn't

398
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: stay in the hotels we stayed in. Um, So I'm

399
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: saying I don't know why I feel the need to

400
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: say that, but like just because it was really really fancy,

401
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: and I don't know, if people go look it up,

402
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: if they're like, oh my god, um whatever, maybe that's

403
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: something I need to look at. But yeah, anyway, that

404
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: that was my investment piece. But um it was the

405
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: nicest hotel I've ever stayed and it was so beautiful.

406
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: I did post a lot about it on Instagram. If

407
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: you saw that that is the Alila Um, I would

408
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: totally recommend it to anyone and I would stay there

409
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: again hands down. Like I also think it's important to

410
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: note that you're two single female you know, like there's

411
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: a safety thing too, So it's like sometimes you're paying

412
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: for luxury, sometimes you're paying for safety and conflict. Totally.

413
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: I will say I felt safer in Bali than I

414
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: did in Jamaica. Like it, I felt so safe there.

415
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: There wasn't any moment that I felt like I don't

416
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: know if it was how we did it or what,

417
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: but there was nothing like that, Like I didn't I

418
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: felt safe with all the people we met all like

419
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: all our driver, you know, all the stuff. So anyway, um,

420
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: we stay there. The other funny thing that happens because okay,

421
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: so ulu Watsu is like it's a beach town. It's

422
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: further south, but everything in nats was like up on

423
00:23:54,920 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: these cliffs. It's like it, which makes it so beautiful,

424
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: so much more beautiful. You know. The other thing is

425
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: is they have a heavy monkey population. Okay, son up right,

426
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: does it get any better? Right? It was like the

427
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 1: first night we're there, we're walking to dinner in our

428
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: hotel and I see this thing across the path. I

429
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: thought it was a cat. It's a fucking monkey. It's

430
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: like it's just insane. It was like crawling across the thing.

431
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: And they're big. They're called like king monkeys. I think

432
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: there's a couple different kinds. With the ones we saw

433
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: in the hotels, we're huge. I ended up seeing in

434
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: the next place we went. I had like a monkey

435
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: jungle experience by myself, and I was a little scary. Um.

436
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're everywhere in these certain like cliff towns

437
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: or like jungle towns or you know whatever. They're just

438
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: that's like a norm and they are really cute. I

439
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: don't think that they're like probably that sweet. Like apparently

440
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: they'll steal your cell phone or your sunglasses, so like

441
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: if you them, we're just to take both of those

442
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: things off really quickly. They're always just looking for food,

443
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: and I guess like there it's so overpopulated now that

444
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: they come out a lot more tell us because they

445
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: know there's restaurants, you know, so they're like, don't feed

446
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: the monkeys. That's like the big thing, because they don't

447
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: want them to get in the habit of coming back.

448
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: But anyway, I mean we did that. We did a

449
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: lot of massages to which after a lot of travel,

450
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: is a really nice thing for your body. It's also

451
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: like so cheap. It was crazy what you could get

452
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: a massage for it. What the what's the cost? Oh

453
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: my god, I mean I don't even remember. I think

454
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: it was like there was one we got for thirty bucks.

455
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: It was like the best massage ever. Um, it's just

456
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: like that, you know, like or like it was like

457
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: ninety minutes for sixty bucks or something like that. I

458
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: don't know. Anyway, Um, but like really nice places too,

459
00:25:53,960 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: and like really good massages, I know exactly. Um, so

460
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: we did uwat To. We did two other beach towns.

461
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: If you saw my stories on Instagram, it's the ones

462
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: that were up on the cliff and like the Infinity

463
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: Pools are literally hanging out over the Indian Ocean, which

464
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: is just epic and insane. Um, you had to say.

465
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: We took this like really jankie like elevator type thing

466
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: down the cliff, which was not my favorite moment. It

467
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: was really high. But you're just like, they do this

468
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: all day every day. This has to be saved, right,

469
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: right if you just say these things yourself. Um. So

470
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: we did two beach clubs and Uwatt and then we

471
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: were we moved on the next day to a Boot,

472
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: which is the big city. It's like the place where

473
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: you know all the healers are. It's what you would

474
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: probably associate Bolly with if you think about it, or

475
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: if you've heard about it, or um you've watched movies

476
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: about it. It's that's a bood. And on our way

477
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: to a Boot, they have this other tourist thing that's

478
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: a huge swing and it's literally like if you I'm

479
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: sure you can like this is such an instagram worthy moment,

480
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: but I'm sure you've seen it on Instagram if you've

481
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: looked up anything with Bolly. But it's this huge swing.

482
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: They buckle you in and they swing you out over

483
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: into the jungle. You chip are like me and you

484
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: have an intense sphere of heights. Right. So I see

485
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: this and I'm like, oh, this like looks terrible. Mary

486
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: went first. She's just like living wild and free. She's like,

487
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: you know, they push you so high. The guy literally

488
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: like pulls you back. He's on the stairs and he

489
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: like goes with the swing and jumps off to give

490
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: it this full force. So you go really really high.

491
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: You're literally like as tall as the pine the palm trees.

492
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: I love that. It's like human powered to Oh yeah,

493
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: and it's I mean, it's beautiful now. It just was

494
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: like these it was part of the jungle, so you're

495
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: like in these ravines and then it's just like this deep.

496
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: It was like not a ditch because that sounds ugly.

497
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: It's beautiful, but um yeah, it kind of looks like

498
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: rice fields, but it's not. It's just part of the jungle.

499
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: I got on and after and I did not want

500
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: to do it. I was literally like so sick in

501
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: my stomach. I'm shaking, I'm deep breathing, I'm like, oh

502
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: my god. But it was one of those trips where

503
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this is a trip that you

504
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: just say yes, so I get on. I want to vomit.

505
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: I hated every second of it, literally every second of it.

506
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: I stayed on for just the first portion, like Mary

507
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: was on way longer than me. Um, they do this thing.

508
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: On the last push, they were like last push, and

509
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: so I didn't even let them get high. And I

510
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: got last push, last push, and I was like, give

511
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 1: me the funk off of it. Um. I was shaking

512
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: so bad when I got off, I could have cried.

513
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: Mary was like, what in the world, Like, after you

514
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: do that elevator, this is the thing. But for me,

515
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: it just felt I just didn't feel safe. It didn't

516
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: feel strapped in. I hate heights. Um. Maybe because I

517
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: had watched her do it too, I don't know. I

518
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: just is the person who doesn't like hts. I would

519
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: assume you could to understand. Yeah, I mean, obviously, it's

520
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: like it's such a bodily sensation thing. So yeah, and

521
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: you're just like flying free out in the gum, like

522
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: fly free. But I'm also scared to do that, I guess.

523
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I've done like ziplining through the jungle of

524
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: like Costa Rica, and it wasn't like if I think

525
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: about it, it seems scary, but like once the adrenaline hits,

526
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: it's fun. Yeah. I thought that's where I could get

527
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I tried it, But I never did,

528
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: and I just went it off, and I was glad

529
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: I tried it. It was another validation for me if

530
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: I can always trust my gut. I knew I wouldn't

531
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: like that. Well now you know, now I know. Um

532
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: So then we get to a Bood, which again, like

533
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: I said, is the big city, and we spent five

534
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: days in the bood and I loved every minute of it.

535
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: Um a boot is just amazing. It's like this big city.

536
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the shopping was insane. I got so many

537
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: amazing pieces of cloth those and just like different, I mean,

538
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: because everything is like you know, there's a lot of

539
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: handmade stuff or just like different. It's just beautiful and

540
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: different and exotic and unique and peaceful. And I don't know,

541
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: just all the things and all the restaurants they're really

542
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: great too. So the first day we kind of just

543
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: shopped and like did restaurants and the fun stuff like that,

544
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: and then we decided it was time to do some healing.

545
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: And so by this point, you know, you were kind

546
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: of caught up on jet lag too, so I was

547
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: feeling more like a human again. You're getting on the

548
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: time zone. And um, we had signed up for we saw.

549
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: I saw three different healers and we did another purification

550
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: cere money that I'll tell you guys about too. But

551
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: the first healer, his name was Pokemon, and UM, I'm

552
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: trying to think of how I would describe him. Basically,

553
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: he was a guy who would find blocked energy in

554
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: your body. So like you go in, you sit in

555
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: front of him. His wife inslates for you, and because

556
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: his English is not very good, but basically he asked you,

557
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: like what's going on and what what brought you to

558
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: see him today? So you start telling your story a

559
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: little bit, and um, he just gives you feedback because

560
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: like he just has his senses, Like I guess he's

561
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: a very he's an intuitive and so he senses what's

562
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: actually happening with you. So he starts giving you the

563
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: messages that he's getting and his wife is translating for you.

564
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: It's always completely spott on on. I mean, he nailed

565
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: me with all the stuff that is happening or what

566
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: I was storing, um, you know, the things that like

567
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: we're ready to be released. And so then you go

568
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: in after your little talk session, which feels like therapy

569
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: in and of itself, and then you go into this

570
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: session with him of body work, and it kind of hurts,

571
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: not kind of, it does hurt because he's finding these

572
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: like you know when you get a massage and you

573
00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: have like a not okay, Well, he finds those like

574
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: that are energetically stored in your body. So like he's

575
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: finding places that, like you have these knots, you would

576
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: never really know that you have them. I don't think

577
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,239
Speaker 1: like or I was unaware of a lot of mine

578
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: because we we live our lives so clinched, you know,

579
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: like we're just like go go, go, go go. We

580
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: don't We're just so out of tune with our bodies.

581
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: And so like he would push on certain parts are

582
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: like oh my feet, and it would hurt so bad,

583
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: like I'm like ah at a couple of points, but

584
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: he would push on it and push on it and

585
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: push on it again until it released, and then it

586
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: wasn't sore anymore. UM. So he does this to your

587
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: whole body and it's just like it is like a

588
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: huge release. UM. But he says, you know, after the session,

589
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: you kind of talked through what happened, and and then

590
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: he's like gives you what to do, and he's like,

591
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: you need to rest because you're going to be really tired.

592
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: You might feel weird because your body of like set

593
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: it up, but now it's going to just start shedding,

594
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: you know. And so you're like, okay, okay whatever. I

595
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: was exhausted after but like I didn't think anything of it.

596
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: We kind of had a chill night after that. Um.

597
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: But like I woke up the next morning and I

598
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: was so nauseous. I felt like I was hungover and

599
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: I hadn't drank, and so I was like, what is

600
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: going on? Um? I felt exhausted, I had slept like

601
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: ten hours. It was just this weird like and I'm like,

602
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, this must be the energy work, like releasing.

603
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 1: We tried to go rafting. I literally was like, okay,

604
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm just not feeling good. I'm gonna just go use

605
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: the restroom. And then like try to reset, like get energized,

606
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: because being on the water seemed like it would maybe help.

607
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: Literally go in the bathroom and I just started crying,

608
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: like I wasn't even sad. It was the most like

609
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: I couldn't and I couldn't stop. It was it made

610
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: me feel insane. But I literally walked out. I'm like sobbing,

611
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: and Mary's like, oh my god, what's the matter. And

612
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: I was like I don't know. That literally was like happier.

613
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm actually really not sad, but she

614
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, is this from pop Bonn?

615
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I guess, I don't know. But it

616
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: was this one of the things he had said to

617
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 1: me was you have got to start trusting your intuition. Actually,

618
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: all three healers that I saw told me the exact

619
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: same thing. You're so intuitive, you don't listen to yourself,

620
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: and you have to start listening to yourself and telling

621
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: people know. And that was sort of like I was

622
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: feeling obligated to go on this rafting trip that we

623
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: Um had booked or whatever, and so it was sort

624
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: of this like first part of the lesson in some

625
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: ways of like this is what he just told me

626
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: that I need to do is listen to my body,

627
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: listen to myself, and I'm doing something or I'm trying

628
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: to do something that I think other people will make

629
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: other people happy, even though it was not at all

630
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do in the moment. And so

631
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 1: I was like, I feel like I have to listen

632
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: to this right now. And I just went back to

633
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: the hotel and let Mary and our other friend Teasa,

634
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: who lives in Bali. I know, you guys run from

635
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: New York lives in Bali now, but um let them

636
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 1: go on the ratting trip. And I just went back

637
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: to the hotel. And this sounds really like sad and dark,

638
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: but it wasn't. It was like I went back to

639
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: the hotel, I got in my bed and I just

640
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: sobbed for like an hour, you know, and then I

641
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: took like a really long bath and I would cry more.

642
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: And it sounds weird, but it was what I needed,

643
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: Like there was just it was to me like I've

644
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: learned that crying is just healing. It's like taking a

645
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: shower for your soul, is what one of my um

646
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: that's what my flower since girl tells me. And and

647
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: now that I feel that it's so true because it's like,

648
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: think about how you feel after a really long cry.

649
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: You feel like drained, but you also are like okay,

650
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: and now we can move forward, you know what I mean.

651
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: But the more we like hold it in our bodies

652
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: and we don't release it, um, the more trapped everything feels,

653
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: or the more like you can't actually move forward with

654
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: your life, or the more angry you are, the more

655
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 1: of whatever it is. So I guess I just needed

656
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: to cry. That was the way that my body was

657
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: releasing all the energy he had like pushed out the day.

658
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: It was wild. Um, and then I did. We had

659
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: a purification ceremony set up, which is something that they

660
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: do at the temples here, and so I did, you know,

661
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 1: must have the energy because I was like, I can't

662
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 1: miss this. So that was the perfect into that day though,

663
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: and um, a purification ceremony and I'm going to post

664
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: some more pictures of this on Instagram, but I did post,

665
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: like my actual birthday picture was from this. It's amazing.

666
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: It's like you go into the temple, but in these temples,

667
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: when I say that they have this is like hundreds

668
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: and hundreds and hundreds of years old, of just like

669
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: carvings into the sides of mountains and rocks and like

670
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: building these structures. Like it's just taken so much time

671
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: and it's so detailed and it's so incredibly beautiful, and

672
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: they have all these gods and goddesses like carved and

673
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: these statues, and it just you feel small, you know.

674
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: It's that feeling when you stand by the ocean and

675
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: you're reminded of like how powerless we really all are.

676
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: But it's like comforting at the same time. You know,

677
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: just like the world is so much bigger than this

678
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: tiny little bubble that I live in and that I

679
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: think is so important all the time. Like, look at

680
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: this vast array of just amazing nous that has been

681
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: created by nature that is so powerful and so much

682
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: stronger and bigger than anything in my own world. And um,

683
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: to me, that's really comforting least. So it was that feeling.

684
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: But then you have this guide and he kind of

685
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: walks you through like these prayers, and then you go

686
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: and you like do this cleansing and some of the water. Um,

687
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: they have this thing called emotional therapy where you go

688
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: stand literally up against a waterfall and you scream into

689
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: the rock three times, and it like releases that energy

690
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: from your body and it's it is healing. Then you

691
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: go stand under another waterfall and you just laugh and

692
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: you dance and they tell you like just find your joy,

693
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: find your joy, and so it's like you release it.

694
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: Then you go stand in this other water where you're

695
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: just like laughing and you're like so purely happy. I

696
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: don't know how to explain it. Does it not feel ridiculous? No?

697
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: Oddly no, because everyone there is doing it and you're

698
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: just like it's for some reason. I think the environment

699
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: is so powerful that you just trust it. It's like

700
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: instead of being like I'm gonna think my way through this,

701
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: you just feel. You just feel through it. And because

702
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: you're just feeling through it, none of it feels ridiculous,

703
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: because you're like this is here to help me, you

704
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So, like you're standing under this water,

705
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: you get in these baths of water, you're drinking from

706
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: the side of the mountain, like we were so laughing,

707
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: sohar because we're like you go to foreign countries, you know,

708
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: and they're like be careful of the water, and here

709
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: we are just like straight up drinking from the side

710
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: of I have no clue where this water is coming from. Um,

711
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: probably the p from those animals that the poplar blue

712
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: oock I know. Yeah, well, whatever it was, it cured

713
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: me so um but yeah, I mean to me too.

714
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: Beginning to do that with Mary was like one of

715
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: the most just beautiful bonding experiences, you know, to see

716
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: someone you love going through this range of emotions and

717
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: opening their soul and their heart up, like to be

718
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: walking through that together. I mean I could cry talking

719
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: about it. It's just it was so powerful to get

720
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: to experience that with someone I love and like for

721
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: myself and also for her, you know, like and then

722
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: for us together. It was just amazing. And then they

723
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: do a blessing on you at the end, and it's

724
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: that thing where they put the mark in between your forehead,

725
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: so like I felt so boly. Oh that was a

726
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: photo that you all posted. Yeah, Like they do the

727
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: blessing and then um, yeah, they have a mark on

728
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: your forehead and I don't know, it's just something about

729
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: it is it is purifying, and it it like breaks

730
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: you down in this way that I've said a million

731
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: times on this podcast already that you're just like none

732
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: of that ship matters, none of it, Like, none of

733
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: that when she's talking about it changes you on a

734
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: cellular level. That for me was the moment like just

735
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: standing under the water of this huge waterfall and like

736
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: seeing the carvings of these gods and goddesses and praying

737
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: to something bigger than me, you know, like to me now,

738
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: it's like in life I can't process especially how you know,

739
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: we could operate regardless of what God you believe in,

740
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: like if it's God, if it's Jesus, if it's Buddha,

741
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: if it's like you're Hindu, whatever it is for you,

742
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: Like just higher power thing was so big and special

743
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: and felt there like I couldn't deny. There's no chance

744
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: that I could deny that there's a power greater than me,

745
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: you know, like because I saw it, it was there,

746
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: I felt it. So anyway, that was very purifying. I

747
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: actually felt like how Sonia felt nauseous after the pot

748
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: wanting that finally took it away and um I was

749
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: super energized and it was ready to go. So okay,

750
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about one of the other healers we saw,

751
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: which is called the Electric Lady, and you guys are

752
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: gonna be like she's lost it, she's off her rocker

753
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: and happen a shock therapy. We're about the here about Yeah. Literally,

754
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: Mary kept saying like I think I've just had a

755
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: stroke because the way that like certain parts of it

756
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: work are like you kind of feel like, oh my god,

757
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: what just happened? Um, I don't know how like Gwyneth

758
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: Paltrow or Courtney Kardashian for Poush have not found this

759
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: woman yet, and so I'm very hesitant to eat even

760
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: like talk about her because she feels like this like

761
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: unkept secret that I have that I don't want to expose,

762
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: but I have to share the love. So anyway, we

763
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: went to this lady. Her name is the They call

764
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: her the Electric Lady, and similar to Pokemon, you walk

765
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: into a session with her and um, she asked you

766
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: like what what are you here for? Like what are

767
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: your ailments? Physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, whatever. So you kind

768
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: of quickly go through that with her. And the reason

769
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: they call her the Electric Lady is because she has

770
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: electric hands. So when I heard that, I was like,

771
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: oh cool, it's like reiky, like it's like she has

772
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: like really strong energy and because like when you do

773
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: reiky with an energy worker, you can feel heat from

774
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: their hands. You can, like, I don't know, you feel

775
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: it like it's like an energy energy feels really strong

776
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: if you're in tumb with it. So I assumed it

777
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: was that, so I Mary had told me right before.

778
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: She was like no, I mean like literally, people think

779
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: that she has a tool and her hand because like

780
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: it feels electric. So I'm like, okay, whatever, you know,

781
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: like blah blah blah, we'll see. Get on the table.

782
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: Um she takes like there's like a pan on the

783
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: bottom of the table. I was faced down first, so

784
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: you lay on the table. There's a pan of like

785
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: kind of like maybe it's wet, So I lay there.

786
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: She puts my feet in that and then she puts

787
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,479
Speaker 1: a wet towel on the top of my feet because

788
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm like face down like a massage, and it's similar

789
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: to a massage. She starts rubbing oil all over your

790
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: body and then takes her hands and starts like kind

791
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: of massaging. But when I tell you, it's like like

792
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 1: it feels like you stuck your hand in an electric socket.

793
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm not exaggerating, and she's not plugged into anything,

794
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: not plugged into anything, not like using a tool of

795
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: any kind. Apparently, Mary asked her, like what happened? Like

796
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: how is she like this? Because I at one point

797
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: I was like, do I need to look? Because you

798
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: want to like look and see if she's holding anything.

799
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: But then she you can tell the way that she's

800
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: massaging you that it's just her fingers, like it's so

801
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: so so bizarre. Um, And Mary asked her during her session,

802
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: She's like, how did you get like this? And she

803
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 1: said about UM and I can't remember a decade ago.

804
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: Let's say she just woke up one day and it

805
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: was like that, and then she went into this deep

806
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: morning for like seven years. Because she's like A couldn't function,

807
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: Like I had this thing in my hands and I

808
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: kept praying and I kept praying for it to be

809
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: taken away and it wouldn't. And finally it came to

810
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: me like I'm supposed to help people with this. And

811
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: so there are some articles. She's kind of hard to find,

812
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: but there's some articles where people are talking about like, um,

813
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: they have neuropathy and she kind of helps, you know,

814
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: like she won't say she can cure things, but I

815
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 1: think she like physically has helped a lot of people.

816
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: For me, one of the things that I mentioned to

817
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 1: her was that I had a lot of brain chatter,

818
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: like I just obsessed, you know, like I get like

819
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: stuck on the topic. I'm trying to figure it out.

820
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: That's always me. I'm figuring out, figuring out and um.

821
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: And so I was like, it's hard for me to

822
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: turn off my brain. It's why I have sleep issues,

823
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like just chaos and my brain.

824
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: Sometimes I have to really quiet my brain. And so

825
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: I told her that and she did this thing, and

826
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: I think she did to marry too. But she put

827
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: her hands between my eyes like nose and she's like

828
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: when I tell you it's like so you see you

829
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: literally just like start to see white light. And I

830
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: was like, she was like follow the white light. I

831
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, am I dying? Like is

832
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: this is this happening? Is is this where I go?

833
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: And I was actually really peaceful if it was um,

834
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: But she kept saying like and it was true, like

835
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: the things that were flying in are things that I've

836
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: been worrying about. And they would fly in and she

837
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: would it's like she would know because the second one

838
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: would flying She'd be like, release that, like think about

839
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: the white light. Only thing about the white light, And

840
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: I will tell you that since I've had that experience. Um,

841
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 1: when things come into my brain to like worry about

842
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: or kind of like ruminate over, it's like I catch

843
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: it and I'm able to be like, no, only thing

844
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: about the white light because the white light feels bright

845
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: and like happy and powerful and moving forward for me.

846
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's just been stuff like that. It's really interesting.

847
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: I felt extremely energized after that session, like I could

848
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: have gone and run a marathon because I was probably

849
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: like electrocuted. And um, I don't know. It was just

850
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: like one of the main she was the same thing

851
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: with me of the main thing being like trust your intuition,

852
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: and she kept she had me to do this mantra

853
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 1: where it was like, UM, thank you, I forgive you, Um,

854
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: I love you, and I've heard that before, but there

855
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: was you know, she said it in a different way

856
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: of just like we do these things in our lives

857
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: and um, we get so mad at ourselves. Like I've

858
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,479
Speaker 1: gotten just so mad at myself for making the same

859
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: mistake you know, say in relationships, specifically, because that's why

860
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: I talked about a lot on this podcast over the

861
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: last decade. And she's like, but you didn't know, Like

862
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: you can't keep punishing yourself because you just didn't know.

863
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: And like now I have new awarenesses and you know

864
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: a little by little over the last decade and knew

865
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: more and more and more. But you can't know what

866
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: you don't know. And so just to forgive yourself for

867
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: what you didn't know and know that you were doing

868
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: your best and thank you. Um. And that's another part

869
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: of like this cellular change is just tell yourself thank

870
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: you and I love you, and to support yourself through

871
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: hard times. Like all of those things like really do

872
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: physically and emotionally spiritually change you on this cellular level,

873
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: Like the messages we say to ourselves, you know, um okay,

874
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: last healer, I feel like, I'm just like I feel

875
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: like you got to be electric shock this morning. I

876
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: know what kind of um okay. So then the last

877
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: healer that I saw was on my actual fortieth birthday,

878
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: and her name was Tina, and she was a palm reader.

879
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: She does numerology and she reads tarot cards and she

880
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: and I talked a lot like she read my palm,

881
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: which is super interesting. UM. Again a really strong intuitive line.

882
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: And the first thing she said was, oh, you're so sensitive,

883
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: and she got scared to tell me anything about myself, Like, no,

884
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: I can handle that, but you know I am. I'm

885
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 1: a feeler, a sensitive UM. And she tried to talk

886
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: me through like using that as a superpower, not feeling

887
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:39,240
Speaker 1: bad about it. Um. And then we did like numerology.

888
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: She kind of tells you numerology is fascinating. Another thing

889
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 1: I kept posting about on Instagram was like I keep

890
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: seeing all I kept seeing up to my birthday a

891
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: lot specifically, but I see all the time like seven eleven,

892
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: which is my birthday on clocks, and like during that trip,

893
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: I was seeing it every day. UM. And there's all

894
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: this like numerology at all times in our life that

895
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: we're just not paying attention to, even like the day

896
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: we were born, UM has a certain number. And so

897
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 1: I haven't really you know, dove into that work yet

898
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: or just that understanding. But she kind of talked me

899
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: through like what those numbers mean and it just describes

900
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: your personality. It's crazy. It's just another form of like

901
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 1: understanding yourself and understanding how like everything in our lives,

902
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: it's all for a reason, Like we came here on

903
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: the day, we came for a reason, our soul, you know,

904
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: chose it and all this stuff, and so she talked

905
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: me through that. Then we we did a terrib pool

906
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: where I asked her some questions. I did a lot

907
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: of work based questions and found some guidance there. And

908
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: then she and I just talked for a while after

909
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: about kind of the world, and um, I think some

910
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: people would interpret a lot of it as doomsday, so

911
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: I'll keep some of it just I don't know. For me,

912
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: it was really affirming because it's what I've been feeling ing.

913
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: But you know, and Marv has also told me a

914
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff. But I hear people say a

915
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: lot like when things go back to normal, that's like

916
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: the big message, right, like, and I've said it like

917
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: it's just like, oh, things feel normal again, and it

918
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: feels really relieving. And then I think the thing that's

919
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: felt so defeating for a lot of us is and

920
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: then the other shoe drops or then the bottom falls

921
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: out again, and so we can't really get back to

922
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: this like feeling of security maybe that we're looking for

923
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: in the normal scene, and I have finally kind of

924
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: like or like what I was thinking on the flight

925
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,720
Speaker 1: to BALI was, I just think I have to stop

926
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: trying to pretend like things are going to be normal again.

927
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: Like Marve has been telling me this for a long

928
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: time of just like this isn't a time of and

929
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: things go back. It's a time of like we have

930
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: done this wrong or we have like created things that

931
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: aren't working, and so we're lifting We're like, the problem

932
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: is here. We were like blowing up our world on

933
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: eighty million different in eighty million different ways, and like

934
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 1: we're seeing that unfold and it's it's ultimately not going

935
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: to be a bad thing, but it's going to be

936
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: uncomfortable while we go through the process of letting go

937
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: and change. And um, it's that that thing where it's

938
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: like before you can rebuild a house, you have to

939
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: destroy things first, and so like I think that's what's

940
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: happening right now. And for Tina, I mean when we

941
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: were talking, she was just like basically talking me through

942
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: that this is going to be going on for quite

943
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 1: some time. You know, she actually said the next eight years, um,

944
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: and and not necessarily in exactly the way that it

945
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: is now, but like is when we're going to find

946
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,720
Speaker 1: some peace, But the world's gonna look totally different. And

947
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: as scary as that can sound, I found a lot

948
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: of peace in it because it helped me to be

949
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: like I don't have to fucking fight so much, like

950
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, like the only thing that we can predict

951
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: right now is that things are going to keep happening,

952
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: and like they just are. And I think that there's

953
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: certain causes that you know, if you feel like super

954
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:22,720
Speaker 1: led to go help with these certain causes, do that. Yes, um,

955
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: if you can, if you have access to changing something

956
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: for good, do that. And I think there's other parts

957
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: of it that are like how do we find like

958
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: the peace and the love amongst all this chaos, Like

959
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: how do we get back to our different relationships with

960
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: others and accepting that like things are gonna be this

961
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,479
Speaker 1: way for a while, Like there's gonna be another shoe

962
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: that drops, Like there's gonna be like COVID's probably gonna

963
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: kick that up again, is what it's looking like, you know,

964
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: Like it's just things are not just gonna go away

965
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: and quote unquote go back to normal. And so it's

966
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: just preparing yourself and like operating from a place of

967
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,479
Speaker 1: acceptance and surrender. And that's where I find a piece

968
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: at least. It's just knowing that, like I can't change

969
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 1: all this stuff going because I can't change other people.

970
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: So like I could do small things like we talked

971
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: about with gun control, do your part, you know, in

972
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: what you believe in and all of those things. Um,

973
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,919
Speaker 1: and maybe let's try to like stop fighting each other

974
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: so much, try to find some middle ground. I think

975
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: would be a really good thing. I don't have high hopes,

976
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: but um, but yeah, like for me, it's accepting and

977
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 1: like so then when something happens, I don't feel so like,

978
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, something else, like add it to the list,

979
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: like it's sad, it's it is, but sort of like

980
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: this is gonna be how it's gonna be until we

981
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: hit such a rock bottom that we actually decided to

982
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 1: do something different, because I don't see that happening right now,

983
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: and so like I'm like, yeah, nothing is going to change. Yeah.

984
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: I also think too, it's like ever trying to put

985
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: a genie back in the bottle is um it seems

986
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: like such a like a feudal thing, and it's like

987
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: how do you find a new normal? Um and constantly

988
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 1: be it's like growing and changing and those sorts of

989
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: things versus I mean, in a way, it feels a

990
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,919
Speaker 1: little lazy just to want things to be the way

991
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: they used to be, you know, um And because it's

992
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: it almost feels pointless because we're we're energy that's constantly moving. Well,

993
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: if they're not, we're dying, right, Like not growing, you're

994
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: dying kind of thing. And so like yeah, if we

995
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: just want things to go back to normal, it's like okay,

996
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: but there's absolutely no growth there, and like that's just

997
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: not how the universe works, you know, is this challenging

998
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: us to grow? So we're in that right now. We're

999
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: in the challenge to grow. And we can either pay

1000
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: attention to that and lean into it or we can

1001
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: keep fighting it. But I think the bigger struggle and

1002
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: the more pain comes if you fight it. Try to

1003
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: fight the change. Like she used this analogy of like

1004
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: a bicycle wheel, and she was like, if you were

1005
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: you know, if a wheel comes up against you and

1006
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: you just stand straight up and you're like you try

1007
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: to stop the wheel, like the wheel is going to

1008
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: keep turning, and so like all that's gonna do is

1009
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,359
Speaker 1: gonna bump up against you and probably knock you over

1010
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: and run you over. Right, But if you like held

1011
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 1: onto the wheel and just try to ride the wheel

1012
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: in the circle with the wheel and just kind of

1013
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: went with the wheel and let it guide you, be

1014
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 1: along for the ride, and you would get a lot further.

1015
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 1: Like just that idea of leaning into what we're being

1016
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 1: presented with right now, looking at things like staying curious,

1017
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 1: like why are we up against this abortion stuff again?

1018
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: Like we said, why are we talking about gay marriage again?

1019
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: Like we've already done these things, you know, like, um,

1020
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: why are we talking about guns again? Well, because nothing changed,

1021
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: So like we have all these things to pay attention to.

1022
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: We can sit here and yell at each other and

1023
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: post on social media about whatever side, or we can

1024
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: actually listen, get quiet and decide to do something different.

1025
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: And like I think that that's what we're being asked

1026
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: to do, like you mentioned earlier, like the climate control stuff.

1027
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, like our world is clearly being affected. Like

1028
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: if I've not heard one person say that their weather

1029
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: isn't different than like it has been, you know, like

1030
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: they're all different in Bali, it's wasn't supposed to be

1031
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: rainy season. It rained a lot um and they're saying,

1032
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: they're like it's because of the climate. Can quote climate issues,

1033
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, we keep just joining our world, we

1034
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 1: don't do anything different. Well, nature is going to fight back.

1035
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: That's just how this works. So I don't know that

1036
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: was Like the overall sense that I got was um,

1037
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: to get quiet, to pay attention, to lean in, to

1038
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 1: keep going through like every day, turning it over and

1039
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: just accepting like my powerlessness but finding hope and the

1040
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 1: things that I can do. And I think like the

1041
00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: other thing that it really hit for me was, um,

1042
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: this isn't a political podcast. It never has been. I've

1043
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 1: gotten confused on what my role should be with that,

1044
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: And you and I have both battled with like what

1045
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: are you know? Like I said, what are we supposed

1046
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: to do with this platform? We have it? So like

1047
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: are we supposed to be talking about it? Is it? Um?

1048
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: Are we not using it? If we don't? You know?

1049
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: All these things? But I really got to like, I

1050
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: don't that's not really what I think my role is.

1051
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: And I do think everyone here has a role, And um,

1052
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: I know that I was brought into this world. Just

1053
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: like I said already, as a really sensitive intuitive healer,

1054
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, person interested in healing that's open to healers

1055
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: that maybe other people aren't. And so I think that's

1056
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: maybe what my role is is too, to expose people

1057
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: who are able to help and like give people these

1058
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: outlets for when they do, um need help, you know,

1059
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: and saying it's okay, Like showing people that, um, it's

1060
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: okay to have feelings and it's okay to cry things out,

1061
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: or it's okay to get comfortable and the uncomfortable and

1062
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: all those things like that is where I think I

1063
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: can help because I'm comfortable doing that. It's how I

1064
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: live my life. Um, And so that's what I really

1065
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: want to keep bringing here, is like helping you guys

1066
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: just learn about different things. So if you do need

1067
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: it or you want it, or you're curious about some

1068
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 1: different kind of healing or astrology or whatever, you have

1069
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: the resources. Because I'm like constantly investigating those resources and

1070
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: going and getting electrocuted. So I can tell you guys

1071
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: crying in the bathroom for no reason. Yeah, I mean

1072
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: I do think there was a reason, but um yeah,

1073
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: like I'm actually I was like, oh, I'm just releasing

1074
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 1: like I'm very comfortable in it again, and uh yeah,

1075
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would be like, oh

1076
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: my god. Even I did feel a little insane for

1077
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: a second because I was like, I'm not sad, but

1078
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: so that's the boy trip. I'll try to link as

1079
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: many resources as I possibly can in the description, and

1080
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: you guys can always message me uh more questions if

1081
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: you can't go to BALI. I think there's totally different

1082
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: ways to to um do these kind of investigations or

1083
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: emotional journeys anywhere that you are, And if you have

1084
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: questions about that, I can help you with that as well.

1085
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,959
Speaker 1: There's tons of resources on this podcast the different kinds

1086
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: of healers UM. Anyway, I think the biggest thing to

1087
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: walk away with mainly would be just to say that

1088
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: it's okay to pause, and it's okay to reflect, and

1089
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: it's okay to ask yourself what you need right now?

1090
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, I needed to kind of escape all the

1091
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: noise and to go celebrate a new decade in my life,

1092
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: and um, what do you need? What do you need today?

1093
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: What do you need UM to get through this week?

1094
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: What do you need to get through the day? The night, whatever,

1095
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 1: it is just really checking in with ourselves and and

1096
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: getting quiet and connecting with some sort of higher power

1097
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: that's here to help us. So anyway, I hope that

1098
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,240
