00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: because we talk about this on the pod a lot.

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: I feel like we're living in a society that is

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: being given so much junk, you know, on social media,

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: so it's so refreshing to see.

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: Your stuff that means so much.

33
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: Like honestly, it gets me emotional because I'm like, oh,

00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a breath of fresh air.

Speaker 3: So well, you have the best energy since the moment

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: feel so comfortable. She just said that you have this calming,

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: kind and genuine nature. So I feel like you just

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: see that in me because it's in you. But thank

40
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: you for that, and I really appreciate it. I think

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: it's really difficult sometimes to know how people are perceiving

42
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: what you're putting out there, because.

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: There's it all hate is out there too, So yeah,

44
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: I appreciate that.

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, No, thank you, I truly mean it. And

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't say that lightly because there's a lot there's

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: not a lot of people that inspire me anymore, you know.

48
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: And I'm going through a shift. I feel like something

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: is happening in my life, in my career, in my

50
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: personal life. Oh my gosh, what is going on? Okay? Anyways,

51
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorting drink a little bit of.

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

53
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: No, but this is you know, my podcast is called

54
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: a really Good Cry. I love it, yes, because I

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: cry all the time. So I'm like, okay, I'm seeing

56
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: emotions flow.

57
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: Okay, awesome. So this is why I wanted you on

58
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: the pod. Because everything that you talk about on your

59
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: social media, and you know it's spirituality. I try to

60
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: I try my best to be as positive as I

61
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: possibly can on socials. I feel like if we have

62
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: this opportunity, I want to share good things, you know,

63
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: And so I feel like I have okay, positivity. I

64
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: can always learn more spirituality. I feel like I got

65
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: it down, but I can always more.

66
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: But food food.

67
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: When I saw your cookbook and I saw you because

68
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: I love Cafe Gratitude, Yes, yes, I love Cafe Gratitude. Immediately.

69
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: My husband was the one that introduced me to Cafe Gratitude,

70
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: and I loved it, and I saw that you had

71
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: a collaboration with them, so I dug and I was like, oh,

72
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: it's her cookbook Joyful, which I love the name of Joyful.

73
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what did I think of that? But

74
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I started saying, you've been vegan right for ten years?

75
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: Can you tell me about that? Was it more to

76
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: like for the animals?

77
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: Is it health?

78
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: What was it?

79
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: So? I was actually born into a vegetarian family, so

80
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: like my parents are vegetarian, my grandparents are vegetarians, so

81
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: I have like a lineage of vegetarians in my life.

82
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: And then when I was how.

83
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: Old was I?

84
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: This was about ten or maybe eleven years ago, my

85
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: sister read this book called Eating Animals by James Saffron,

86
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: and it just told me things that So I already

87
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: didn't eve meat, but I was still having dairy and

88
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: I read things that I just could not unread about

89
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: how one the animals were treated, and two also just

90
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: the links between health conditions and dairy and how the

91
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: dairy industry has just really declined and the quality I

92
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: think milk is actually.

93
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: Probably a very nutril.

94
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: It is a very nutritious substance that comes from an animal.

95
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 3: The problem is depending on how you treat the animal.

96
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: Just like us, the quality of what we give out

97
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: to people, to other people around us, energetically, physically, emotionally

98
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: is a result of what we have fed ourselves. And

99
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: so in the same way, when you're feeding an animal

100
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: stuff that it's not supposed to be fed, the quality

101
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: of what comes out, it's like you are then receiving

102
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: puss hormones, blood, all this stuff in your dairy produce

103
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: that you don't even realize, and so what you think

104
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: it's doing for your body, it's actually not. So milk

105
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: is amazing, Well we're getting from the dairy industry not

106
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: so much. And so it was a mixture of reasons.

107
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: But I just fell in love with animals, and I just,

108
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: I really just believe that there is a soul in

109
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: every single thing, from a little ant to a human.

110
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: And I just think if we can, if I if

111
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: I can sustain my body without it, then I'm gonna

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 3: try to.

113
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: And then it's kind of been ten years and I

114
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: haven't missed it.

115
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: And you feel like, I'm assuming amazing, You look great,

116
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: your skin is phenomenal. Yours Wow. But I have a

117
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: little bit of makeup on. You don't.

118
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: I don't have makeup on. But it's but isn't it.

119
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: Like thank you? Yeah? And I truly believe it has

120
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: a lot to do.

121
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: With what we does.

122
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: And you know, dairy did make a big difference. But

123
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: dairy and sugar are two things that make the hugest

124
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 3: difference to my dairy, sugar and oil. Those three things, yeah,

125
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: are like if you have too much of any of them,

126
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: they just are skin leeches.

127
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: Dairy, sugar, and oil. Yeah, okay, because see that's why

128
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about, like food, so

129
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: many things, but like the food because I've I've have

130
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: felt it in my soul for a long time to

131
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: be vegetarian. I have and I tried it, and I

132
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: did pescatarian for a while and then my mercury was

133
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: like high and they're like, oh, no, you need to

134
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: like so I didn't do that. Then I was like, okay,

135
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: the hardest thing has been to let go of cheese.

136
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: Cheese was the hardest thing for me. Cheese I okay.

137
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: So when I decided to do it, I was like, Okay,

138
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 3: I'm going to do it slowly because I wanted to

139
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: be sustainable.

140
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I can do it.

141
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 3: Cheese was the last thing I remember. The day before,

142
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: I was like, cheese is the last thing I'm giving up,

143
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 3: especially in the UK, because cheese there is amazing, like

144
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: extra cheesem so good.

145
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: But I agree it is.

146
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: A hard change, especially by the way, if someone's grown

147
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: up eating meat and then trying to cut out meat

148
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: and dairy. One was shocked to your system, and two

149
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: it's such a difficult cultural change. For me, it was

150
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: a little bit easier, like eventually now my whole family's vegan,

151
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: and so it's so easy when I go home, it's

152
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 3: vegan food.

153
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: When I go out with them, we don't have.

154
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: To pick what restaurant we're going to, Whereas culturally it

155
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: can be really difficult. I always say to people, I'm like,

156
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: try few plant based days first. You don't have to

157
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 3: go all in sight away like little bit little decide

158
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: like a Monday or Wednesday and a Friday, that's what

159
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna eat, just plant based.

160
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna have.

161
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: Any dairy, no no meat products. See how your body feels,

162
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: see how it reacts. Because I also think we have

163
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: this like lack of tuning into our body to see

164
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: how it actually feels. And I always say, like in Irada,

165
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: there's like three different types of foods that you can

166
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: eat or different things that you can different categories. There's

167
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: mode of goodness, mode of passion, and mode of ignorance.

168
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: That's how they kind of categorize. Everything from what you

169
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: hear to what you're eating can fit into those modes.

170
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: And so food, when you're eating, it should make you

171
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: feel like you have vitality in your body. It should

172
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: give you energy, it should make you feel vibrant when

173
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: you're eating. And it's causing digestive issues, it's causing skin issues,

174
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: it's making you feel sluggish, just making you feel worn out.

175
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: How is that giving your self vitality?

176
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: It's not, it's not.

177
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: And so a lot of it is just like listening

178
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: and tuning in, like what is making me feel good

179
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: when I eat it? And really told those things.

180
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: So do you recommend maybe keeping a food journal? Like,

181
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: because I tried that a long time ago, because I

182
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out, Okay, what's causing me so

183
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: many digestive issues my rosatia, like what flares it up?

184
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: And I tried doing it takes a little bit of work,

185
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: but I think like when you really committed and you

186
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: want something, you'll take that extra step. But I really,

187
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: like I'm telling you, there's this shift coming and I

188
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: know that this is what I need to do for

189
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: the rest of like my life. I've had a lot

190
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: of fun I've had a lot of red meat. I've

191
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: had a lot of cheese, Like I really I told

192
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: I told them, I was like, I really want to

193
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: try this, like I want to be vegetarian. And again,

194
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: culturally it's very difficult because as Mexicans, as Latinos, we

195
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: eat a lot of red meat, a lot of pork.

196
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't eat pork. I left pork a long time ago.

197
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: I try my best not to eat it. But I

198
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: think slowly, I just have to, like, like you said,

199
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: take baby steps and maybe keep like a journal guys,

200
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: like if you guys want to do this or not.

201
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, like to kind of see what is

202
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: it that I ate that made me not feel so good?

203
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: Maybe and digestively and then energetically of like how am

204
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 3: I feeling in my energy? Because food should bring us

205
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: energy when we're eating it.

206
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely a food diary.

207
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: I remember when I was a dietician, I would always

208
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: recommend that. I'm like, Okay, the first thing we're gonna

209
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: do is a food and symptom diary. Eat the food,

210
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: See how you feel two to three hours later and

211
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 3: immediately yes.

212
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, I will also say it is it's a shift,

213
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: and I.

214
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: Think it's possible. I think it's possible for everybody. But

215
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: take your time with it and give yourself grace with it.

216
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: And also come over to my house and I'm going

217
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: to feed you.

218
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. I saw everything you cook and I'm like,

219
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, definitely picking so it looks so good.

220
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: Do you drink alcohol?

221
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: No, right, I don't. I actually have never drunk alcohol.

222
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: Really yeah.

223
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: It's it's honestly because this is what I believe in

224
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: like past lives.

225
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 2: This is just part of my culture.

226
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: And I'm like, you know what, I think what happened

227
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: was I must have gone hard in my last life

228
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: and in this life. I just don't crave. I don't

229
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: like desire anybody. I always said if I wanted to,

230
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: I would, and then I had like some people who

231
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: are alcoholics in my life, it's addiction is like kind

232
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: of in my family and little things that happened along

233
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: the way, like people that I was really close to

234
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: when I was younger.

235
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know, it's just not for me.

236
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: And then I got to this age and I was like, well,

237
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: I'm past my party age and now I want to

238
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: be in bed by like ten o'clock.

239
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 2: I think there's no need now.

240
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's another thing. That's probably another reason why

241
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: your skin looks so amazing. That's another thing that I'm

242
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, what I do for work

243
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: and I'm on stage and the type of music that

244
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: I sing, it's really a part of the culture is

245
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: the drinking. And I tried the pretending to drink, and

246
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: then I felt like I was being dishonest, Yes, dishonest,

247
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: and that didn't feel good either. So I don't know.

248
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: I just felt very like inspired because I saw that

249
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: you made mocktels as well with Juni, and I thought,

250
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, well, by the way, guys, Juni is

251
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: her company. She's an entrepreneur as well. So I'm not trying.

252
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying because I drink them all the time

253
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: and I love them because they're like sugar free, right,

254
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: they have what is it. They have Lion's mane, which

255
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: is amazing.

256
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: Sugar free, and they have adaptations and neotropics in it.

257
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: So adaptations in New tropics are basically plant extracts that

258
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: help you with mood, focus, energy, all the things that

259
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: you probably want to feel during the day.

260
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: So, and it's got green.

261
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: Tea in it, so instead of it being caffeine from

262
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: like a coffee sauce, you get caffeine from green tea,

263
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 3: which also has antioxidants. So I really wanted to just

264
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 3: create a drink that, you know, it feels like you're indulging,

265
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: but also at the same time you're feuding your body

266
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: with things that it probably needs and your mind with

267
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: things that it needs.

268
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: Right when I come to the podcast on my way here,

269
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: I'll take one because it's like I need to use

270
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: my brain, and I don't know, I feel like I

271
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: feel better and and I'm like, okay, it has zero sugar,

272
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: and I try my best not to like for a

273
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: long time, for like a year, almost two years, I

274
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: wasn't drinking any soda. Just recently I started hearing a

275
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: lot and I was like, oh, so this has saved

276
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: my life.

277
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: I'm going to send you the decaf on the new

278
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: flavors you're gonna love.

279
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, thank you, thank you. Yes, because I

280
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, she makes Mark Tel so I'm assuming

281
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: she doesn't drink alcohol, which is awesome. Okay, So we

282
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about foo in your book. Are

283
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: those recipes that you that you have from like family?

284
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: Did you? Is it because you you're self taught?

285
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 3: Yes, my self taught and mom taught my My mom.

286
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 2: And my grandma are phenomenal cooks.

287
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: And I grew up just on and I'm sure you

288
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: can relate to this with your culture. So many like

289
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: so much flavor infused into the food. Spices was like

290
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: just packed with flavor, and so I think my palette

291
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: really was quite refined from a young age. And my

292
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: mom would would try different cuisines wherever we traveled to

293
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: she would bring it back to our house through the

294
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: food that we were eating, and so every week she'd

295
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: be trying new recipes experimenting. At the same time, she

296
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: was also a fitness instructor, so she was quite mindful

297
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: about like the type of food we were eating, how

298
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: healthy it was. And so I definitely grew up around

299
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: I was lucky to grow up around people who really

300
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: knew how to throw it.

301
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 2: Down and they get to Ye, that makes the difference

302
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: for sure.

303
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: And so the.

304
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 3: Recipes are a combination of gosh everything from my parents

305
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 3: my sister threw some in, but also experimenting on how

306
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: can I bring these Eastern spices which are so healing

307
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 3: and so good for you in terms of like medicinally

308
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: and for your body, but bring it into Western culture

309
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: where it's not.

310
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: Just Indian food you're eating.

311
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 3: How can we incorporate these spices into day to day foods,

312
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: Like I have a tindurijackfruit taco in there, so it's like, Okay,

313
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: you're used to eating tacos, but how can I throw

314
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: a little bit more like something that you haven't had

315
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,239
Speaker 3: before in with it. So it's a fusion of cuisines,

316
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 3: a fusion of flavors, a mix of comfort food, healthy salads.

317
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: Just like everything atle Bit, it's good for you. So

318
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm definitely okay, that's I think that's gonna be my

319
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: number one thing for the new year to kind of

320
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: like get the book and maybe I'll start there little

321
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: by little guys, little by litle.

322
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll stop by you coming over. You could taste

323
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,599
Speaker 3: the food before you eat, before you buy them. You

324
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: can be like, Okay, I'm gonna taste it. If I

325
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: like it, I'll make it.

326
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: In spirituality, talk to me about has that been a

327
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: part of your life forever? Because I in my culture,

328
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: I grew up like Christian, like the whole thing. And

329
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily always say this, like I don't necessarily

330
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: consider myself a religious person. I respect our religions. I'll

331
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: go to any type of church, but I'm more spiritual

332
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: and I'm more of like the meditation. And still I

333
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: feel like I want to tap more into that. So

334
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was just I wanted to kind

335
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: of know more about your spirituality. And it feels like

336
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: it comes from your family, like way you probably were

337
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: born into it.

338
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: I feel I was born into a religion. So I

339
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: was born into Hinduism, okay. And one thing I found was,

340
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 3: and I'm sure maybe you can relate from what you

341
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: said that when you're born into something, you end up

342
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: doing things ritualistically, like very methodically, Like my parents are

343
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: lying a candle, I'm gonna lie a candle right, My

344
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: parents are saying these mantras.

345
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this mantra.

346
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: And I got to like my teenagers, and I was like,

347
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: why am I doing any of this? Like I actually

348
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 3: don't know whether I have a deep connection to this. Yes,

349
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: I believe in God, but like what a my practice

350
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 3: is that I'm doing that truly connects me to God?

351
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: And I wasn't sure whether what I was doing was

352
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 3: actually just because my parents did it, my grandparents did it,

353
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: and I'm just going through life as you sometimes do mechanically.

354
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: But like I remember reading this thing where spiritual is

355
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: when your spirit and your heart is in the ritual.

356
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: Otherwise it's just ritualistic. Otherwise it's just mechanical. But the

357
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: whole point of being of spirituality is is my heart

358
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: in this ritual? It's my heart in this practice. And

359
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: so I really started seeking so deeply because I was like,

360
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: I don't know whether I feel like I'm connected to God.

361
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: I know I believe in God, but like what is that?

362
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 3: What is that connection? What am I supposed to be

363
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 3: feeling because right now I'm not feeling.

364
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: And so.

365
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: My mum actually again was born into Hinduism, but she

366
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: started like feeling the same way, and so she wanted

367
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: to start volunteering at temple's name.

368
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: We would go there, We would.

369
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: Go to our religious place for festivals and like just

370
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: show up, you know when we had to not because

371
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: I wanted to be there, be like, okay, it's Devali's

372
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 3: one of our celebrats that okay, Dvali is one of

373
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: our festivals. It's like our Christmas. I'm going to show

374
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: up to the temple for this. But my mum really

375
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: started seeking and so she started volunteering at the temple

376
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: that was nearby to us, and she mentioned to somebody

377
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: that I was looking for a spiritual group that I

378
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 3: really wanted to be part of something. And so I

379
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: got involved with the youth group of that community, okay.

380
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: And it was there where I really understood like why

381
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: I was doing what I was doing and what I

382
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: connected to about it. And I have to agree with

383
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: you in the sense that I appreciate Hinduism for everything

384
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: that it is, but I'm not the biggest fan of

385
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: religious institutions, and I think that it really like one

386
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: thing I found my spiritual teacher rather than Thatswami.

387
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: He I always you know, when you're in a part

388
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: of a.

389
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: Religious institution, you think my religion is the best religion.

390
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: That's how a lot of people are brought up. My

391
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: religion is superior to other.

392
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: Religions, the correct one. It's the rect Like.

393
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 3: Spirituality is about equality and loving everybody. So how in

394
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: the world can one religion be superior Because you're saying

395
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: that your path to connect to God is better than

396
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: another person path to connect to God. But we're also different,

397
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: so how can we not connect to God differently? And

398
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: so I started really seeing that as I was growing up,

399
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 3: and I was like, how does that make sense?

400
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: My spiritual teacher went.

401
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 3: Through so many different religious practices, and all he talks

402
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: about is how each.

403
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: One has taught him so much. All he talks about

404
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: is respect for every single religion. All he talks.

405
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 3: About is how we are all. Like the tradition that

406
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: I now follow in spirituality is called bucky. It means love,

407
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 3: And He's just like, every single religion is just teaching

408
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: us how to love God. So how can there be

409
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: a negative to any of them?

410
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

411
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 3: And so when I heard that and the way that

412
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: I've seen him live in practice, I'm like, that's really

413
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 3: what the goal is. To feel equality in everybody, to

414
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: really love and be kind and compassionate to people. That's

415
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: what spirituality is about. That's what religion is supposed to

416
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 3: be about. All the things we now see in religion,

417
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 3: unfortunately are man made, like women not being able to

418
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: do this and this being It's like, okay, but who

419
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: really came up with that? Is that in scripture? Or

420
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: are you just making it into religion? Yeah, making your

421
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: own religion. I agree, And so yeah, I think I

422
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: really evolved into I take parts of Hinduism that I

423
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: absolutely love, and really I just go back to the text,

424
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 3: like I just, I truly believe in. Meditation is a

425
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: part of my life every single day, has been for

426
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: the past ten years and has transformed so much of

427
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 3: my life and my connection to God. It is the

428
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: time that I feel like I am able to take

429
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 3: a moment to not just connect with me, but connect

430
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 3: with something other than me. Yes, And like I spend

431
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: my whole day being focused around me in my selfish mindset,

432
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 3: constantly about me, me, me, and meditation is like how

433
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: can I connect to something other than myself? And so

434
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 3: that practice has really if you'll be please, I want to.

435
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: I want to know, like you're speaking and I'm just like, yes,

436
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: like you get it, which is why, like I didn't

437
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: know how to put it into words sometimes. I mean,

438
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: we talk about it here all the time, and meditation

439
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: is a huge part of my life as well, because

440
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: it also.

441
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: Kind of meditation.

442
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: Do you do? I just I used to. I was

443
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: doing guided meditation for a while because that's how I

444
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: got into it. I'm like, okay, let me you know,

445
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: it's very hard to stay focused. And then I stopped

446
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: doing the guided meditation. I just put meditation music on

447
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: and that was I just would sit. I would just

448
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: sit and just breathe. I would do the block yes,

449
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: the block breathing. Yes, yes, the block breathing, And that

450
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 1: really helped me just kind of get my mind. Now

451
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: I'm getting to the point where I don't have to

452
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: I enjoy being in complete silence. It took, yes, it

453
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: took a little bit to get there. Two years.

454
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: Oh of course it does.

455
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: So I was just like, you know, my friends, I'm like, meditate,

456
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: I can't like just try two minutes. Just do two minutes, like,

457
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: little by little, you'll build it up.

458
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: It's a muscle and the process that you've gone through,

459
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: which is great because you're saying, yeah, it took me

460
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: two years to get to the point of even sitting

461
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: with my thoughts, and then really does imagine how much

462
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: we absorb every single day, the amount of busyness that

463
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 3: we absorb through our what we see, what we hear,

464
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: what we're experiencing. So, of course, when you're getting sitting

465
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 3: down to I remember my teacher would always say, I

466
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: would be like, well, I'm getting so distracted and I

467
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: can't train.

468
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: He's like, but what are you doing the other twenty

469
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: one hours?

470
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: Oh? Sorry?

471
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,720

Speaker 3: What are you doing the other twenty three hours of

474
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 3: your day? Is it supporting your practice? Is are you

475
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: doing things that actually allow you to sit into that space?

476
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 3: Because that one hour is one hour. What you're telling

477
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: yourself is for that one hour, I'm going to be

00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: But what are the things are you doing throughout the

480
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 3: day that's supporting you to be able to do that?

481
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: And I was like, that is so true, Like am

482
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: I watching things that are actually causing me anxiety? Am

483
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: I listening to things that are actually causing me anxiety.

484
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 3: Am I speaking to people that are speaking negativity into

485
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 3: my life? Like? What am I doing to support that

486
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 3: one hour of meditation practice? And there are so many

487
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: different types of meditation. I have to invite you next

488
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: time we do this singing meditation. We just had one

489
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 3: recently and it is beautiful. It's music meditation with mantras

490
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 3: and people start by sitting quietly and by the end

491
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: of it, everyone's up dancing and like having the best time.

492
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: But oh my gosh, the medicative square that is amazing.

493
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: But there are so many different types of meditator.

494
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: Okay, see, I'm barely I feel like getting into it.

495
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: That's why I was like, you've already done three different

496
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: types to see without even like okay, this has I'm like, okay,

497
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: I have to let it go, like.

498
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 3: You've moved through different versions when you were at different

499
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 3: places in your life. And that's I think sometimes get meditation.

500
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 3: Sometimes people get meditation really wrong.

501
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: They're like, okay, I have to be cross legged and

502
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 2: I have to.

503
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 3: Be sat here. And I noticed that even about prayer.

504
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: People think in prayer you have to be on your

505
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 3: knees or you have to be sat down, And I'm

506
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: like you can be in prayer or meditation at every moment.

507
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm driving in a praying exactly now, my eyes

508
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: closed obviously, guys.

509
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: But like I'm having a conversation.

510
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: Yep, absolutely thing to be in connection. And so I

511
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 3: actually think like prayer and meditation is not a I

512
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 3: have one. Look, I have a space that I sit

513
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 3: in when I meditate. I do think that there is

514
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: value in creating spaces for things. They hold energy, and

515
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 3: so yes, I have I have a place where I

516
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 3: know that when I go into this space and I

517
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: smell this smell and I sit on this thing, that

518
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 3: is a time to get into meditation. But there are

519
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: there is also opportunity to be in meditation when you're driving,

520
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: to be in meditation when you're sitting and you're feeling

521
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: a little bit sad like, instead of sitting in it,

522
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: you could be connecting. And so I think people have

523
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: a different have a perception of meditation because of how

524
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 3: we see.

525
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: On movies and.

526
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: The yoga scene that is there in LA.

527
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: It's like it's not all armond like just sitting in

528
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: cross legged possessions.

529
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. Sometimes I'll even do it lying down,

530
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: like I'm just like Okay, I'm just gonna lie down, or.

531
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: I love a good sleep meditation.

532
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes I fall asleep. Guy, Exactly, I'm so relaxed,

533
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: and it's just exactly, I'm so relaxed. Are there times still,

534
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: now that you've been meditating for ten years? Are there

535
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: times where you you it's difficult for you to get

536
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: into it, or time where you're like, oh, I don't feel.

537
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: Like it months ten months of it, Okay, there, I say.

538
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,239
Speaker 3: I will show up to the practice, and there are

539
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: times where I'm physically there but not mentally or emotionally.

540
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 3: There are times where I fall off the practice and

541
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh God, I feel horrible, but I can't

542
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: get back to it, and then I feel guilty for

543
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 3: not going into it, for not being in my practice,

544
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 3: and then that makes me stay away from it further

545
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: because I'm like, I don't even want to show up

546
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: because I've been away for so long.

547
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: I feel like you think.

548
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: That once you're meditating, life just goes like this, But actually,

549
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: what meditation does, and I love this analogy. It says

550
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 3: that our heart is like a mirror that's dusty, and

551
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: what meditation does is it starts to like clean that mirror.

552
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 3: Gently it starts to help you see yourself. But that's

553
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 3: just the beginning, because when you start seeing yourself, that's

554
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: when all the crap comes up. You're like, you start

555
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 3: seeing all the things that you want to change about yourself,

556
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: you start seeing all the things that you need to

557
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: be working on.

558
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: You start seeing different parts of your life or what

559
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: it really is. And so meditation really just brings to

560
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 2: life and light what you need to be working on.

561
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: And so there are so many times where I feel

562
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 2: like this practice is an ebb and a flow and

563
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: slowly going up. But really it's this this this.

564
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: There are times yeah that I'm like, it takes a

565
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: bit of a struggle, you know, am I, because I'm

566
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: physically like fatigued exactly or mentally I don't know, And

567
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, this is so hard. Today

568
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, thank you God so much for this day.

569
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: I love you exactly today.

570
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: You know that's me too, Okay, I've started this practice

571
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 3: that now every morning I wake up, my mom does

572
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 3: this in her prayer.

573
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: And I realized that I wanted to.

574
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 3: Stop practicing it, but just in case I don't make

575
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 3: it to my meditation let me do it. From the

576
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 3: moment I wake up, and it's like thank you for

577
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: this breath, Like thank you so much that I've woken

578
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: up and that I'm even able to see, like thank

579
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 3: you for like let me have this day. Thank you

580
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 3: for letting me have this day. And from that point on,

581
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 3: it's like everything is a bonus and like, yes, crap

582
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 3: comes and you feel horrible and you go through days

583
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 3: where people are mean to you, and you go through

584
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 3: really emotional traumatic times, but just waking up in the

585
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: morning being like thank you God for this, like I

586
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: needed to wake up today and I'm so happy that

587
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 3: you let me.

588
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm so happy to say guys. Okay, going back to

589
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: a little bit, backtracking to the food. Okay, I have

590
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: this thing and I don't know if this is just

591
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: and I think you probably said it. I want to

592
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: make sure I understand correctly. But I've thought about like

593
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: the animals that we eat, like what if they had,

594
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: for instance, like a chicken, you know, they're very nervous

595
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: and stuff, and what if they had a really bad

596
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: life and like they like I don't know, and I'm

597
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: eating that and I feel like what if those emotions

598
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: is that how crazy to think.

599
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: Or no, it's absolutely true, okay, because that was actually

600
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 3: the energy of like that, the suffering that an animal

601
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 3: has felt. When you eat it, you are eating that suffering.

602
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 3: And I don't even mean, let's say you don't even

603
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: believe that energetically, okay, when we are all in trauma,

604
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 3: even as humans, our body holds the trauma as physical pain.

605
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 3: It actually our arteries, our cellular composition changes.

606
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: When our body is in stress.

607
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: So even if you don't believe on an energetic level

608
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 3: that you are eating this animal suffering, on a physical level,

609
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: you are eating an animal at its worst state because

610
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 3: it is an anxiety, it's being pumped with hormones. Like

611
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 3: the amount of trauma that this animal is feeling ends

612
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: up showing up physically, and so you are then eating

613
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 3: an animal not even at its prime state. You're not

614
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: even getting like good quality meat when you're eating it.

615
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: You're getting low quality because the animal has been in

616
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 3: distress for so long, it's been fed things that is

617
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 3: making it grow up faster than it's supposed to, get bigger,

618
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: faster than it's supposed to. So the quality isn't even that, which.

619
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: Also causes a lot of diseases in it, like so

620
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: many things in our.

621
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: Bodies, and the animals get diseases and we don't even realize.

622
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 3: And so energetically that and you know, it even says

623
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 3: that the food when you're cooking it, I listen to

624
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 3: devotional music when I cook or spiritual music when I cook,

625
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: because when I studied Divada, it's so it's such a

626
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 3: beautiful practice. And every time I think about like rocking

627
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: out to something or like putting out the music on,

628
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I can't unremember this fact that the

629
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 3: energy that's even around the food that's wy I'm so

630
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 3: particularly even when I eat out, I'm like, the energy

631
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: that is put into the food of the way, it's

632
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,239
Speaker 3: why do we love our mum's food so much, or like,

633
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 3: let's say, anybody in your life that you know has

634
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: fed you, the amount of love that is poured into

635
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: that food.

636
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 2: That's why when you make it again, it's never the same.

637
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 3: You try and remake your mum's recipe or your grandma's

638
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 3: recipe that loves you with their dear life, there is

639
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,239
Speaker 3: no way you can make it the same, even if

640
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 3: you get every single ingredient right. And the fact is

641
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: whatever energy is poured into the food, Like I try

642
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: not to cook when I'm feeling really angry, or like

643
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 3: try not to cook when I've got like certain things

644
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 3: in my mind.

645
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: One it never turns out right.

646
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 3: But two, energetically, I'm whoever I'm feeding this food too,

647
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: is receiving that through the food. And so even energetical

648
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: when we're cooking, let alone eating animals, suffering, just even

649
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: if you're cooking plants and vegetables. It's like, but when

650
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 3: am I infusing into this during the cooking process, that's

651
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: how deep it can get.

652
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: Doud, That is so crazy, right because now that is

653
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: so powerful because.

654
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 3: I love like I can feed you positive energy and

655
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 3: I can feed you nourishment, so that and now it's

656
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 3: just beyond.

657
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 2: Just your body. That's so powerful.

658
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And that's yeah, I mean because when I'm salty,

659
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm having a salty day, am I comes out real salty,

660
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, So I'm just like, oh, you know, that's

661
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: that's so true. I'm gonna try that. I'm gonna try

662
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: cooking because I haven't been cooking a lot because I've

663
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: been so busy, but I want to start doing it more.

664
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: And Medeo has been asking me, so I want to

665
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: maybe like meditation music or.

666
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 2: What kind of me just say I'll send you my

667
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 2: play list. Okay, okay, I feel like you're gonna okay,

668
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

669
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: Yes please, because I think that's important even what people like.

670
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: I obviously enjoy people cooking for me. I'd much rather

671
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: people cook for me. But even then, I feel like

672
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: it's it's important to take care of that aspect, like

673
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 1: who is you know, like you said, like making your

674
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: food and like praying over your food, praying over what

675
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: you drink because it's it's like, hey, God, just bless

676
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: this food. There's a lot of power in that.

677
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: There is.

678
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know what I think there were so

679
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 3: many people who are skeptical about whenever you talk about

680
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: energy or whenever we talk about things like this, and

681
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: I'm noticed is that we are so skeptical over things

682
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 3: that do no harm, but not skeptical over things that

683
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: do so much harm in the world. Like there are

684
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 3: so many things in the world, whether it's pharmaceutical companies,

685
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: whether it's you can name it, most of the things

686
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 3: in the world are harming us more than they're doing good.

687
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: But for some reason we're not skeptical about that. But

688
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: when it comes to things that has to have the

689
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 3: possibility that are free and have the possibility to enhance

690
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: our life in some way. But like, oh, where's the evidence,

691
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 3: I'm like, the evidence is in how you feel? Why

692
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: does everything need to be on paper? Yes, And also

693
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: a lot of those papers that have evidence are biased

694
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: in some way and aren't even great actual evidence.

695
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: And so I just try it. Yeah, the proof is

696
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: in the putting. The proof is in how you are feeling,

697
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: and you tuning into that.

698
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: And talking about trying it, like you know, because I'm

699
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: working out a lot, I'm doing weight so like my trainers,

700
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you so much. I feel really really good.

701
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: But I have been eating more protein because that's what

702
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: he's like, eat more protein, eat more meat. But I have,

703
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: and as I like how I'm feeling, but sometimes it

704
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 1: gets it. It's a lot for my digestive system, especially

705
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: the red meat, and I've been I didn't eat red

706
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: meat for years and now I'm like, like absolutely loving it.

707
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: But I want again, I want to like feel better

708
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: in my tummy because my tummy has not been good.

709
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: So are there Obviously we're gonna learn about this I'm

710
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: sure in your book as well, Like there is a

711
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: lot of people think that, oh, you're just gonna eat grains.

712
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: I know. All this is like what kind of protein

713
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: are you going to get in a vegan diet?

714
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, I've also been trying to eat

715
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 3: a lot more protein. So right now I'm on like

716
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: what one hundred and forty grams a day or something

717
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 3: because we've been running a lot.

718
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: Right, I've been running a lot.

719
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: But I also wait trained like three to four times

720
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 3: a week, okay, And so I really wanted to see

721
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 3: And I've got a friends who are vegan body boaters,

722
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 3: and I've seen that they it's possible to like get

723
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 3: your protein and build muscle while doing it. Obviously everybody

724
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 3: type is different, but there are so many different sources.

725
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, there's like tempe soyot beans tofu, lentils, beans, mushrooms.

726
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know there was weird. I'm sorry should have

727
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: done this, but I didn't know that there was so

728
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: much protein in beans. And I love beans. Yeah, me too.

729
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: And by the way, like sometimes what people will argue

730
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: is that, you know, vegan sauces are not complete proteins,

731
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 3: but I'll tell you what is a complete protein, rice

732
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 3: and beans. Rice and beans together have all the amino

733
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: acids required to be a complete protein. So yeah, you

734
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: may not be able to have You may not have

735
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: one thing and it has your complete amino acid thing

736
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 3: like meat, my, but you combine two things and.

737
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: You've got it.

738
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 3: And so really it's a it's just a bit more

739
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: effort into like figuring out how much protein is in this,

740
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 3: how much protein is in this? And they also say

741
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 3: sometimes the protein in meat isn't as available or bioavailable

742
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: or absorbed into your body as coming from a plant source.

743
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 3: Because if you think about it, an animal gets their

744
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: protein source from plants. They create the protein in their

745
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 3: body from eating the plants that they eat, and so really,

746
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: when you're ending up going to the source, you get

747
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: a more available form of protein.

748
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: So it's just being patient and taking the time, right, little,

749
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: I'll send you a cheat sheet, okayteen from different grades. Yeah,

750
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: you have a lot of things to send me, Okay,

773
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: especially with my food. I've always had a unique relationship,

774
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: should I say, with food. It was diets for a

775
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: long time. It was you know, I did keto and

776
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: then I didn't like how I lost weight, but then

777
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, something's just not feeling right in

778
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: my body. And then I'm like, okay, portion control. I

779
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: learned that that's what's been helping me the most is

780
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: the portion control is I can have a little bit

781
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: of everything, but just a little. And now I'm like,

782
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm ready to really dive into this thing that has

783
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: been calling me for a long time. As I did

784
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: the vegetarian, but I wasn't doing the vegan, So I

785
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna probably start with vegetarian. I think you should, yeah,

786
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: and then slowly get into absolutely okay. And I will

787
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: say I completely agree with you with portion control because

788
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, you know, since starting my

789
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: spiritual journey, and also just when you were disciplined, people

790
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: think that you are being restrictive, but actually discipline is

791
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: so much more freedom than living a life where you

792
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: are controlled by other things, and so like when you're controlled.

793
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,479
Speaker 1: For me, I have had a similar relationship with food.

794
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: I've always felt like I was controlled by food, controlled

795
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: with my emotion. My emotions were directly linked to the

796
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 1: food I was eating. If I was happy, I'm eating,

797
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: If I'm sad, I'm eating, if I'm angry, I'm eating,

798
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, oh, if I'm having a

799
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: hard day, okay, I need some sugar. I need like

800
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: some carbohydrates, I need something that's fatty, whatever it is.

801
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: And the thing is, when you end up feeling controlled

802
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: by something, that is the worst feeling, and so actually

803
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: being disciplined creates so much more freedom because you have

804
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: the choice to say no, the choice I don't. I

805
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: if I want to have a dessert, now, I'll have it.

806
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: I've been like one of the things I was struggling

807
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: with recently was sugar. Like I was so stressed out

808
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: and I'm just eating. I had that really hectic schedule,

809
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: and it became very normal for me to have something

810
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: sweet after every single meal. Like I was just I

811
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: was just craving sweetness in my life, Like all I

812
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: I wanted was a quick fix. And I got to

813
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: a point where my skin started suffering, my body was

814
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: feeling lethargic, I was waking up feeling horrible, and I

815
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: was like, I calculated how much sugar I was having

816
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: in my day, and I was like, this is ridiculous.

817
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 3: And I didn't realize because me and I was like

818
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: a little better a little bit here, a little bit here,

819
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 3: a little bit here. Yeah, And I was like, you

820
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 3: know what, I have to I have to nip this

821
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: in the butt because I'm not addicted to anything else

822
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 3: and I think sugar is any different, but it's just not.

823
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: It's just as addictive.

824
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 3: So I decided every single time I would usually fail

825
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: on the first day because I just couldn't do it.

826
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: This time, it's been like, what twenty five days, and

827
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 3: I've been like without any processed sugar, and I cannot

828
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 3: tell you how freeing it feels. Where I can sit

829
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 3: in front of people and I can have a gathering.

830
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,479
Speaker 3: Usually for me, it's groups I love in white people

831
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 3: over I love hosting. And when I do that, I'm like,

832
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 3: let's order this and let's make this and let's do this.

833
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: But I'm like, I can enjoy one.

834
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: I can feed best, I can feed people healthy options,

835
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: and two don't have to link my joy and spending

836
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 3: time with them to having something to enjoying a meal

837
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: with them in that way.

838
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: Yes, And so do you feel a lot of mental

839
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: clarity too, Oh my gosh. And that's so bad for

840
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: a brainer, It's so bad.

841
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 3: But I had to find alternatives like I'm in decision.

842
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 3: I thought I would fail on day one. After day one,

843
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 3: I was like, Wow, I did this, And then day

844
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 3: two I was like, oh my gosh, I did day two.

845
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 3: And the more you commit to it, the more encourages

846
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: you to keep going. And so now I'm like, if

847
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: I feel like something, I'll have it. But it's changed

848
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 3: my whole palette. I just don't crave it anymore. When

849
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 3: people used to tell me that, I used to think

850
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 3: that they were just secretly binging, because I was like,

851
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 3: there's no way that you don't want to eat this

852
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 3: dessert right now?

853
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

854
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: So it's like no processed sugar, but you can have like, oh,

855
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: you're having like nice.

856
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 3: And what I realized that really helped me was I

857
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 3: was started poaching fruit or like cooking fruit down, and

858
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 3: so I'd make like peaches and I'd stew them and

859
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 3: then I have that with like a bit of yogurt,

860
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: and it really satisfied my sweet craving. But also I

861
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 3: was having fruit, which was great. And now I'm like,

862
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 3: if I want it, if I want a dessert, I'll

863
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: have it. But even then I'm eating and I'm like, oh,

864
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 3: this is so sweet, and I had this one order

865
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 3: that I would always do when I would go to

866
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 3: this like frozen yogurt place called Yogat it's amazing. But

867
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 3: I would have like brownies, chocolate fudge sprinkles, like all

868
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 3: the things now I have, Like I think, if I

869
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 3: had to buy it, I would probably go into a

870
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 3: sugar coma because I could.

871
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: I had built up my tolerance to it so much.

872
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. But yeah, so you think what clicked

873
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: is probably feeling that feeling of I feel accomplished, Like

874
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: this is like.

875
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 3: That one day, that one you make it to that

876
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 3: It's like when you make it to the gym that

877
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: one day You're like, God, I feel amazing. And so

878
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 3: now what I've learned to do is, rather than worrying

879
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: about what I'm feeling now, think about how I'm going

880
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 3: to feel in twenty four hours. And so I'm like,

881
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 3: am I going to feel good when I wake up

882
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 3: in the morning like that? And what am I What

883
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 3: can I do now to make myself feel good in tomorrow,

884
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: in five years time, in ten years time. What I'm

885
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 3: doing now is defining what that's going to feel like

886
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 3: in the future. And so like sometimes our temporary emotions

887
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 3: guide us, but I think some living in the temporary

888
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 3: is what causes sometimes permanent pain, and so I've really

889
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 3: tried to like strip that away.

890
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: It's like completely for you, it's sugar. For me, it's alcohol.

891
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: Oh okay, it's tequila, because not only that's the thing,

892
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't like how it makes me feel the next day,

893
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: or how it makes my skin look, because I could

894
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: see my fine lines a little more the next.

895
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 2: Day, yes, prune, Yes.

896
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: Honestly, And I'm like, oh, I'm like if the first

897
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: thing that made me want to stop drinking is like,

898
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: oh my god, my body's getting old, and I just

899
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: I want to age gracefully and the whole thing, you know.

900
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: But it got to the point where for work, but

901
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: then I couldn't be I can like be invited to

902
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: a party and I'm like, oh, everyone else is drinking

903
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: and I'm not drinking, and I'll take yes, it's a thing,

904
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: it's not I want to practice that discipline to feel

905
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 1: like I can still go have a freaking good time

906
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: and not need to have a tequila. Before it was

907
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: like I know, I don't really want it, but I

908
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: need it. And that's where I was like this is

909
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: an issue because it's not even like, oh, I'm gonna

910
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: have a drink because I really just want it. It's

911
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: I need it because if not, I can't like mingle.

912
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's not good.

913
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 2: No, when your past and Aunty is so fun by

914
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 2: the way, X.

915
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: Man and I, Ah, I'm drinking is this And I'm like, no,

916
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: I think it's the conversation too, because I'm just like,

917
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: I might.

918
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 3: Tell you that being the sober person around lots of

919
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: drunk people is a nice fun Oh. I was like, really,

920
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 3: it's fun when you're watching it, and then it gets

921
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 3: to the point where the conversations are just like you like,

922
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 3: you're not gonna remember this, and you're having a conversation

923
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 3: different to me, but we're in the same conversation, And

924
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 3: so I can totally understand why you find it difficult

925
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 3: because having been sober my whole life and not having drunk,

926
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 3: it's a difficult scene to navigate, especially when you're when

927
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 3: you're going out and doing the things that you're doing,

928
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 3: Like it's so hard you just want to be participating,

929
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 3: and you almost feel like you're not participating if you're

930
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 3: not in the same.

931
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 2: State of mind. For sure, but just know that you

932
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: are just this fun. I think you will have so

933
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 2: much fun with that.

934
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I'm like, I'm fun, I'm cool. I

935
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: don't need the alcohol to like, you know, even in

936
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: like on stage, I'm like, you know what, because that's

937
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: like calm your nerves a bit. No, honestly, it just

938
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: makes it funner for me because they're drinking and that

939
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: the type of music that I sing is my reality.

940
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: My job is to get them drunk, right, But then

941
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: I feel then the other side of me that's very

942
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: cheeky's right, because Chickus is you know, Chickus is like

943
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: the entertainer. And then there's Jane, more spiritual person. I think, dude,

944
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: but in my Jeanne is yeah, it's my birth name. Yeah,

945
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: So I feel like Jane is more spiritual. And I think,

946
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 1: what am I doing to these people? Like I'm getting

947
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: them drunk and I'm like, you guys, please put on

948
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: your seatbelts. After like getting them drunk, I'm I put

949
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: on your seatbelt, get an uber like I'm like, pray

950
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: and I do. So I feel like I'm being pulled

951
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: into different directions sometimes. So now I'm like, wait a second,

952
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: I need to just sit down and what do I

953
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: really want? What is my soul asking for? And that's

954
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: where I'm at right now. I'm like, I love what

955
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: I do. I'm so grateful like everything that my career

956
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: has given me, I'm so grateful. But now I'm like,

957
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: I can still do it, but I can do it

958
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: in a different way. And what does that look like?

959
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: And that's kind of where.

960
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: In duality too, Like I think always so used to

961
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 2: in this world, you're either this or you're this, and

962
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 2: people really struggle.

963
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 3: Then.

964
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 2: I don't know whether you've felt this since you've become

965
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 2: more and more well known where.

966
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 3: People don't want you to be two things. You're either

967
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: this or you're this. And as soon as you show

968
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 3: this flow of being in between or even being two

969
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 3: at once, it's like I can be happy online, but

970
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 3: I can also still be sad about something that's happening

971
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 3: in my life. That's not me faking it, that's me

972
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 3: allowing duality to happen in my life. Two things can

973
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 3: be possible at the same time, and so you can

974
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 3: be Cheekies and you can also be Jane and both

975
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 3: can be true. It doesn't mean these are with such like,

976
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 3: we have so many different personalities within one person, so

977
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 3: many different like lifetimes within one lifetime. And so I think,

978
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 3: I agree, you grow and you change, and so maybe

979
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 3: you do want to move into a different space, but

980
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 3: I also think you're still being authentic.

981
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 2: Because there's two different sides of.

982
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: You, and I've always been very open about it. Yeah,

983
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: And I learned that in twenty eighteen when I had

984
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: a burnout and I was like, Okay, in order to

985
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: keep doing what I'm doing, I need to like be

986
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: truthful about there's cheeks, and there's Jane, and there's this

987
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: is who I am, and you're gonna get a little

988
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: bit of everything because that's who I am. Like I

989
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: like to party, but then I love to pray and

990
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: people will ask, well, oh my gosh, you like to

991
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: pray and you like to meditate and you like candles,

992
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: but then you cuss or I'm like, yeah, you're right.

993
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: I do want to get better at the cursing, just

994
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: for my own sake because sometimes I don't like how

995
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: it feels. But I'm like, but still, that's that's me,

996
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to fake the funk. But now

997
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm evolving, and now I'm like, Okay, something is happening.

998
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if because I'm ready to like I'm

999
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: ready to have a kid, and I'm like, you know what,

1000
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: I really want to be good mind, spirit, the whole thing, mind, body,

1001
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: and soul for my child when I conceive. So I

1002
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: think that's what's happening. But I've always had it in me.

1003
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: It's just I think the world and it's like, you know,

1004
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: I've been navigating through it, and.

1005
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 2: I will always say just growing. It's like just because

1006
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: you meant it.

1007
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 3: I always find this about me what people expect me

1008
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 3: to be, like because I pray.

1009
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 2: Not meditate, and I share that online. It's like I

1010
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 2: still get road rage.

1011
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: I still will.

1012
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 3: By the way, if you dm me something rude, there

1013
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 3: is a chance of getting a voice in the back

1014
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 3: that's not very nice, you know. I. And so this

1015
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 3: this this duality of like, yes, I'm trying, but at

1016
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: the same time, that doesn't mean I'm going to be

1017
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 3: just air and bubbles and like happy and and just

1018
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 3: flowers all the time. It's not life. Yeah, And so

1019
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 3: I think people, Yeah, I think it's good to show

1020
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 3: people that, you know what, Yeah, I do play, but

1021
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 3: I also like town.

1022
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will. I will defend myself if I need

1023
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 1: to exactly, like, don't mess with me. I love God

1024
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: up like you know, but yeah, see you get it,

1025
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: you get me. What is your sign?

1026
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 2: By the way, what about you?

1027
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm a cancer? Oh I have.

1028
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 2: Lots of cancers in my life.

1029
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: Really yeah awesome. Yeah, I'm a dune cancer. You know,

1030
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,479
Speaker 1: we're we're a little different, you know, June and July,

1031
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: but we're all great.

1032
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 3: My dad's a cancer and he is the most like

1033
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 3: one of the best people in all phenomenal, gentle, loving

1034
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 3: kind Yeah that's awesome.

1035
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're very nurturing, as you know, very you know,

1036
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: very emotional, like I got super emotional when you got here.

1037
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: But no, I'm just so great. I wanted to have

1038
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: this conversation with you and like show my listeners and

1039
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: like not feel not that I feel alone, because I

1040
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people like us. It's just

1041
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: for a long time I felt alone in my life

1042
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: because I was in a way of misunderstand because I

1043
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: didn't even understand what was going on and with my

1044
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: spirituality and like being raised in a certain household and

1045
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,720
Speaker 1: very restricted and you know, there's a lot of rules

1046
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: with religion and stuff. And then when I just kind

1047
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: of like got into this and I just started like,

1048
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm learning, you know, and there's always room to learn.

1049
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: I love to learn. I feel like knowledge is definitely power,

1050
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: and that's why I was like, I need to have

1051
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: her on so we can talk about everything.

1052
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 3: God, thank you for trusting me with your community. That

1053
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 3: is so sweet of you to even like invite me on.

1054
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: Honestly, absolutely, and I would love to have you on

1055
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: again if we could. There's so much to talk about.

1056
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 2: I know.

1057
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so a good cry your podcast, tell us a

1058
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: little bit about your podcast, anything tell my community.

1059
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 3: So I yeah, it's called a really good cry. And

1060
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 3: I quoted that because I I wanted people to start

1061
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 3: embracing emotions. I think I went through a big part

1062
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 3: of my life where I have always been very emotional,

1063
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 3: felt other people's emotions, deeply, felt my own very deeply,

1064
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 3: and I would often hide it, especially the negative emotions.

1065
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: I'd be like, yeah, I'm happy, I'm this and that.

1066
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 3: And I realized I was just constant hiding behind this

1067
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 3: mask of pretending and not actually showing people how I felt.

1068
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 3: Whether it was because I didn't want to put that

1069
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 3: burden on them or whether it was because I wanted

1070
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 3: people to feel like I was strong and independent and

1071
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 3: whatever it was. And then I started embracing my emotions

1072
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 3: and I was like, God, I'm.

1073
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 2: Such a crier.

1074
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 3: I cry about everything, and I think it's really important

1075
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 3: to be able to just accept the ebbs and flows

1076
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 3: of emotions.

1077
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 2: As you go through them.

1078
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 3: And so a really good cry was just that it

1079
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 3: was for me to feel, like you know, when you

1080
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 3: come on, feel every emotion and feel it deeply. But

1081
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 3: also it's a space for I mean, I have health

1082
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 3: experts on, I have friends one to just talk about

1083
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 3: everything to do with life. It's a space you can come,

1084
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 3: put your feet up, drink a Junie and just have

1085
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 3: really good conversation and again learning, Like I think, as

1086
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 3: soon as I think I know enough, that's when I

1087
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 3: know I've got too much ego in my life. Like

1088
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 3: you know, you know when you decide to stop learning

1089
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:11,959
Speaker 3: is when there's something going wrong for sure.

1090
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 2: And so I definitely I like you.

1091
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 3: I just I love learning about every single part of

1092
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 3: life to do with health wellness.

1093
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 2: People that I would have never thought I would have.

1094
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 3: Connected to coming on the podcast, and I realized how

1095
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 3: wrong I had it about them, like how much I

1096
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 3: wanted to learn from them, and so it's changed my

1097
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 3: perspective on people, but also helped me to just connect

1098
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 3: to people that I would never normally speak to.

1099
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and learn for podcasts is so awesome, right, I

1100
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: love it. Like I always come even if I'm like

1101
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: not having a great day or I'm not feeling good,

1102
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: I come here and I forget about everything. Yeah, Like

1103
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: I just it's it's like therapy for me, where I

1104
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: could just this is just so healing.

1105
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 3: And you get things out of it, like I say

1106
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 3: things on in podcasts and in good conversations like this

1107
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 3: where I was like, god, I didn't even know I

1108
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 3: had that in me or oh my goodness, I didn't
