Speaker 1: so good, such a great story. I mean, she struggled
Speaker 1: with like um sexual abuse as a young child and
Speaker 1: then it led her to a long journey in between
Speaker 1: but then eventually loving her to yoga and her purpose
Speaker 1: in life. So her stories are really redeeming, which is amazing.
Speaker 1: And she teaches a great cost a great class because
Speaker 1: of her. But my friend Ashley Wilson, she's been on
Speaker 1: my podcast many times she's amazing. Um, she and I
Speaker 1: were talking. We had lunch yesterday after we had we
Speaker 1: now we have like these are our dates. It's like,
Speaker 1: let's plan a yoga class, let's go float, and then
Speaker 1: let's go have a salad, let's go eat. That's like
Speaker 1: the best personal like mental health day. You could give
Speaker 1: yourself a recharge whatever you call it, you know, personal
Speaker 1: care day it is. And then you if you do
Speaker 1: it early enough, you get on with your day and
Speaker 1: you feel great. Who we're saying, like how doing that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff just makes you feel like yourself against
Speaker 1: So sorry, I ran a lot, but talk to me
Speaker 1: about your journey because you are all about physical, mental,
Speaker 1: emotional wellness health, prioritizing that considering you run the float.
Speaker 1: Tell me about what your business is because that's how
Speaker 1: we meant so it's pure sweat Float Studio. Candice is
Speaker 1: the founder in Bellmade. And I was suffering from like
Speaker 1: debilitating panic attacks, debilitating panics. Yeah, Like I didn't want
Speaker 1: to leave the house because every time I hit a
Speaker 1: certain stoplight, you know, it would trigger it or I'd
Speaker 1: go into no offense Jason Stelli. But a store of
Speaker 1: place like that, and it would just trigger it. So
Speaker 1: what would get triggered? Um, I don't know. I would
Speaker 1: just like go into that panic mode where I'd stop
Speaker 1: breathing and I would think I'm gonna have a heart
Speaker 1: attack and die. So several times you're having real panics. Yeah. So, Um,
Speaker 1: And it happened in about two thousand and six when
Speaker 1: I went through some trauma in my first marriage. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't really know why they happened. It's very mental.
Speaker 1: Does really can really start panic att it does? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So and then I managed them and they went away,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's just with all the
Speaker 1: chaos opening businesses, blending families and life. Um, they started
Speaker 1: triggering again. And I was on zoloft and xan x
Speaker 1: and all the things, and my kids were finally like
Speaker 1: you're not present at all, you know. They would be like,
Speaker 1: you didn't even hear what we said. You don't pay
Speaker 1: at ten? You know. I was just kind of out
Speaker 1: of it. Where was your mind? Like? Where does your
Speaker 1: mind go when you're like out of it? Like where
Speaker 1: does it rest? I think I just almost numb, you know,
Speaker 1: Like that's my thing. I don't ever want to be numb.
Speaker 1: I want to feel and be present, and especially when
Speaker 1: you're raising kids. You know, that's the last thing you
Speaker 1: need to be. You've got five three of your three
Speaker 1: that you birthed and then five total blended with your
Speaker 1: husband Corey, who I love. He also comes to yoga
Speaker 1: influence and he's all about this style, to which I love.
Speaker 1: For all you men, it's so good, good for you,
Speaker 1: especially a sound like that person. But I got a
Speaker 1: string hand in hand yoga and then getting in that
Speaker 1: sauna because the sauna fights so much infection, like it's
Speaker 1: helped cure autoimmune disorders. Absolutely, yeah, I mean there's really
Speaker 1: something that. Yeah, it's good for your skin. It's it's
Speaker 1: like such a great way to give yourself a mental break.
Speaker 1: It helps your nervous system, it really does. But then
Speaker 1: also you're like helping your body fight off all sorts
Speaker 1: of terrible things because that heat. Something about that heat
Speaker 1: that just coming in. So what did it do for
Speaker 1: you with the panic attack? Well, I read about it
Speaker 1: with floating because um it's used for PTSD. Um. Some
Speaker 1: military bases even have float pods. So um, really it's
Speaker 1: just noise in our brain and we need to get
Speaker 1: settled down and you need to de stimulate and that's
Speaker 1: why it's so awesome today because we have so much
Speaker 1: you know, Instagrams in our face and our poor kids
Speaker 1: today that have to see, you know, all the bodies
Speaker 1: and the who's doing what in the fear of missing
Speaker 1: out and the bullying because you're not included, and you know,
Speaker 1: we just social media on social media, you know, and
Speaker 1: I just think we have so much noise in our
Speaker 1: heads probably in the middle of all that stuff because
Speaker 1: they're like what late days really twenties exactly guaranting especially girls,
Speaker 1: how many girls are you raising for? What is it
Speaker 1: like it than this time? And dating and likes so
Speaker 1: much more than I can do online. We didn't even
Speaker 1: know about, no I know, like I don't even have
Speaker 1: to think about all the things. Yeah, and I really
Speaker 1: do try to keep up with it or you know,
Speaker 1: now they're a little older for me to keep up with,
Speaker 1: but when they're in high school, I really tried to
Speaker 1: keep my finger on it. And it's, um it's a
Speaker 1: full time job, I have to say. And they have
Speaker 1: ways around things. But just be like I said, just
Speaker 1: be present and um, just kind of stay in the mix.
Speaker 1: Talk to parents, helping I've told good friends like talk
Speaker 1: to me if you hear anything about my child, you know,
Speaker 1: like tell me, I'm not the mom that's going to
Speaker 1: be like she didn't do that or no way. You know,
Speaker 1: I want to hear and I want to be um told.
Speaker 1: If something's going on and they get into some stuff,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you so. But um yeah. So I started
Speaker 1: floating and it really helped, and so now I'm down
Speaker 1: to just some zoll off a little bit, but I'm
Speaker 1: definitely more present. So I approached Candice and I just said,
Speaker 1: you just started doing it on your own. I got so,
Speaker 1: how did you hear about floating? I just started googling. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you just kind of like your own and you're
Speaker 1: just kind of desperate for anything, and you're like, because
Speaker 1: it's not. I feel like it's just now starting to
Speaker 1: hit it stride. Like floating has been around, but it's
Speaker 1: I've always heard about it and always been super curious
Speaker 1: about it, But I feel like it's really coming into
Speaker 1: It's like moment now, don't you think like all health
Speaker 1: and wellness like we're really shifting. I think we're all
Speaker 1: needing it so badly after these past few years with COVID,
Speaker 1: this pandemic and the stress and then all the tension
Speaker 1: that we're all feeling everywhere. It's just so much stress.
Speaker 1: It's just too much. When I read I love y'all's Instagram,
Speaker 1: y'all should just follow Pure Float Instagram. For Brent one,
Speaker 1: you tell us, what's the handle, It's at p s
Speaker 1: F S p s F S Brent would so pure
Speaker 1: sweat and wait, so what does that pure Pure Sweat
Speaker 1: Float Studio? But it's p s F S brnt Wood
Speaker 1: and then there's Cool Springs right now. It's a mouthful,
Speaker 1: but y'all should follow their Instagram just for like the
Speaker 1: information that you guys should That's something else I really
Speaker 1: love about your your social media and I think that's
Speaker 1: how I can only like deal with social media and
Speaker 1: all the negative effects. Is like you find, like you
Speaker 1: find accounts like yours who are offering all sorts of
Speaker 1: great tidbits of wisdom, Like you're offering wisdom about different
Speaker 1: types of sweat that you have, You're offering wisdom about
Speaker 1: mental health, and I feel that like, and you're sharing
Speaker 1: why the floating and the infrared saunas are so effective well,
Speaker 1: and I think that, um, what I love about it
Speaker 1: is that it literally is something for everybody. I mean,
Speaker 1: we get pregnant women in late in their third trimester
Speaker 1: and they're they're just miserable. They can't sleep. Um. Candice
Speaker 1: actually did it all through her last trimester. Um. So
Speaker 1: your body absorbs the magnesium. It helps with any inflammation
Speaker 1: you have, which you know, being pregnant, you have a
Speaker 1: ton you can't sleep because you're miserable because you're flip
Speaker 1: flopping around everywhere. Um. Yes, so it's just great. It
Speaker 1: also aligns your spine because it takes all the gravity
Speaker 1: off of you, which, as you know, you're staying it up.
Speaker 1: It's like bam bam bam, you know, on your body.
Speaker 1: It allows your nervous system and nervousus. No, absolutely not.
Speaker 1: And then it's for athletes. You know, athletes love it
Speaker 1: for inflammation and other reasons. Musicians love it because it
Speaker 1: helps with creativity. So we get a lot of musicians,
Speaker 1: songwriters in um just really restaurant owners. We get people
Speaker 1: who live in very chaotic, probably loud, NonStop environments. Because
Speaker 1: oh that's where I was going with my rambling. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I some of just ramp Hey. I love that is.
Speaker 1: We never are disconnected. We're never disconnected. Even when we
Speaker 1: go to sleep. So many people go to sleep with
Speaker 1: a TV onto the very last minute or whatever, and
Speaker 1: then you wake up. The first thing, what is, what
Speaker 1: do you do before you even try to meditate her?
Speaker 1: You grab your phone, You're looking at your emails, you're
Speaker 1: looking at your text, you're looking at social media, you're
Speaker 1: looking at your calendar, and all of a sudden, you're
Speaker 1: off to the races. You haven't even given your brain
Speaker 1: one chance to chill out and like have a moment
Speaker 1: of peace and space and be intentional about your day.
Speaker 1: So like, I'm so guilty of that. You know, I
Speaker 1: wake up, I grabbed my phone, our beds, so we're
Speaker 1: just getting all those radio aids into her brain all
Speaker 1: night now. Yeah. But and also something you guys talked
Speaker 1: about on your Instagram, which I love, which I had
Speaker 1: never thought about. This is why everyone needs to follows
Speaker 1: Instagram just for the wisdom is habit stacking. And someone
Speaker 1: whoever runs your social media is really great. It's probably
Speaker 1: you you yeah, but they were actually my GM. She's great.
Speaker 1: She was talking about habits stacking, which is when you
Speaker 1: want to create a new habit, you want to create
Speaker 1: a new lifestyle, get intentional about how you're going to
Speaker 1: start that new habit and then stack your life around
Speaker 1: that habit. And so like that's what I've done with
Speaker 1: yoga and then adding in pure float and because I
Speaker 1: know I want yoga because that does so much for
Speaker 1: my body and my brain, and then to give myself
Speaker 1: the chance to go to re fill my body and
Speaker 1: recover with the sauna and floating, it's like I have
Speaker 1: to make that a priority for my life to do that.
Speaker 1: And once you make that your priority, then you figure
Speaker 1: out how to stack everything else around it. Absolutely, I
Speaker 1: think you just have to think of it as you know,
Speaker 1: we exercise to stay healthy, we eat, we try to
Speaker 1: eat right. Um but then you also have to add
Speaker 1: in some of these other modalities as just part of
Speaker 1: your wellness plan and your lifestyle um so. And like
Speaker 1: I said earlier, autoimmune that saunas are great for that.
Speaker 1: So we get so many people that come in that
Speaker 1: have hashimotos, which is a thyroid issue UMI from possibly
Speaker 1: breast implant leaking or just environmental lime disease, toxics. Works
Speaker 1: of the studio like has healed herself. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you can say you've healed yourself. All the way.
Speaker 1: But like the lime disease, symptoms do not present anymore, right,
Speaker 1: and you've just purged the toxins, so you know, the
Speaker 1: tick has bit you, so you have all these toxins
Speaker 1: in your system. So it's just um penetrate your skin tissue.
Speaker 1: It's not like a standard sauna. We're just the airs heated.
Speaker 1: This literally as a medical grade sauna. They use it
Speaker 1: on babies and the nik you like when they have
Speaker 1: when they're born too early. You know, they put the
Speaker 1: light on them so it helps them, you know, progress quicker,
Speaker 1: get healthy. UM. Physical therapists use it. So so what
Speaker 1: does the heat do because talking going specifically to like
Speaker 1: autoimmune and let's talk about you panic attacks, Like what
Speaker 1: does that heat due to your nervous system and your
Speaker 1: body to heal it and help you overcome and honestly
Speaker 1: get rid of these symptoms from your life. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: they're this is a full spectrum, three wavelengths UM. So
Speaker 1: the first is penetrates. The light comes out of these
Speaker 1: panels that are in the sauna, and it's carbon and copper.
Speaker 1: It's been tested for the e MF so there's no
Speaker 1: you know, electro magnetic magnetic that you need to worry about. UM.
Speaker 1: So the near penetrates the least amount into your skin,
Speaker 1: and that's more like superficial wounds, UM, collagen health, you know,
Speaker 1: skin health. And then there's also the second wave wavelength,
Speaker 1: which is mid and that helps with inflammation. So if
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of us get sick and have
Speaker 1: health issues because of the inflammation in our bodies. So
Speaker 1: when you can purge, when you can heal the inflammation
Speaker 1: in your body, then you know it heals. It heals
Speaker 1: itself without having to do more traditional type medicine, right,
Speaker 1: because the heat gets in there, and like if you
Speaker 1: don't use the heat, then your body is just trying
Speaker 1: to like rush to it as best it can. But
Speaker 1: this heat doesn't like fight or flight mode. You know,
Speaker 1: this heat just like yeah, super charges it. Right. And
Speaker 1: then with the autoimmunity, it's the third wavelength that goes
Speaker 1: the deepest into your skin tissue. UM. I think it's
Speaker 1: about an inch and a half down under your skin
Speaker 1: tissue and it literally will purge, you know, make you
Speaker 1: sweat like crazy as you know you've been in it,
Speaker 1: like you are drenched when you get out. It's a
Speaker 1: totally different swift than a yoga or a orange theory
Speaker 1: and those you know, other type of exercises. It is, Um,
Speaker 1: it's coming from within. I know that sounds so no,
Speaker 1: I'm strange. It's hard to explain. So come, you've got
Speaker 1: to come and try it. Yeah, it's really amazing. So
Speaker 1: what started happening to you when you started floating with
Speaker 1: your panic attacks? Um, I just think it's settled my mind.
Speaker 1: You know, I be able to turn your mind off. Well,
Speaker 1: it actually took me several times. The first time I
Speaker 1: held my neck out. You couldn't even let yourself relax, No,
Speaker 1: because I didn't. Did you do the sauna to I
Speaker 1: did the ona too, because some monies and I was like,
Speaker 1: what the heck? Right? Yeah, so um yeah I did
Speaker 1: that too. But no, it took me about probably three
Speaker 1: times to really settle down. And I knew when I
Speaker 1: settled down when I started twitching, you know, because I
Speaker 1: was kind of gotten to a state of almost sleep,
Speaker 1: I guess, And so I was twitching. And when I
Speaker 1: came out, I really had like this sense of stillness
Speaker 1: and calmness. And you hadn't felt that in a year,
Speaker 1: and I have, and I have more of a type
Speaker 1: a personality. Um, so it is very hard in general
Speaker 1: for me to settle down. And then I also had
Speaker 1: a therapist that worked through some things with me, like, um,
Speaker 1: you know when you start getting into that mode, which
Speaker 1: is like if you think you're going to have a panic, like,
Speaker 1: un listen, I'm sitting at a red light, right. She
Speaker 1: would say, all right, so you're getting in that mindset
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh no, oh no, because you can
Speaker 1: kind of feel it coming on, and I'd say, she'd say,
Speaker 1: listen for four sounds. What does it sound. What does
Speaker 1: it feel like when it's coming on? Um, I don't
Speaker 1: really even know how to say. It's like a rush
Speaker 1: of heat blood. You know, you can kind of feel
Speaker 1: your blood start rushing. And then I have a hard
Speaker 1: time swallowing. Okay, I start like my tongue is getting
Speaker 1: really fat. It's very bizarre. And then my hands start
Speaker 1: getting kind of stiff, you know, where I'm like sometimes
Speaker 1: I can't even close them, Like I'll sit there and try.
Speaker 1: You know, it isn't your brain shutting down a little
Speaker 1: bit and gets your brain. It's all and it's all manageable.
Speaker 1: So you know, like my my therapist gave me things
Speaker 1: should say like, here are four sounds while you're sitting there,
Speaker 1: so you'd hear a car screech, or you'd hear a
Speaker 1: horn beep, or you'd hear um the construction guys, you know,
Speaker 1: on the street hammering something, and so you're taking your
Speaker 1: mind off of putting it into that mode. And then
Speaker 1: she'd say, so you get through the four and then
Speaker 1: you say, oh, I need to look for three colors,
Speaker 1: so blue, I'm gonna choose blue. And you start going
Speaker 1: through that and then look for um, smell to smells,
Speaker 1: so I smell gas, and I smell pavement being laid,
Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is. And then you've kind of
Speaker 1: worked your way out of it. Okay, the lights changed,
Speaker 1: you're moving on. Really, Oh yeah, it's really amazing, because
Speaker 1: what happens if you have a panic attack and you're driving,
Speaker 1: you don't have these steps, you pull over? Okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so um yeah. So it's just kind of crazy. So
Speaker 1: have the has the floating and the sonnet allowed you
Speaker 1: to like not even feel like you have them coming on?
Speaker 1: Or is it all a team effort? Is it like
Speaker 1: everything you do it all together to make um the pie?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't really have them anymore. So I
Speaker 1: want to say it. Maybe it was a team effort.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a little bit of this and a little
Speaker 1: bit of that. Um, yeah, or I don't know. But
Speaker 1: even during the pandemic, I was, you know, our business
Speaker 1: shut down for a little bit. We had just jumping
Speaker 1: in Brentwood unfortunately the day after the tornado, because we
Speaker 1: were two months behind our build out and we just
Speaker 1: kind of picked that day like Okay, we get to ompen.
Speaker 1: Then the tornado hit and so we couldn't really you know,
Speaker 1: we didn't want to promote it. We were mourning for
Speaker 1: everybody in the city. And then three weeks later the
Speaker 1: pandemic hit. Um. Wow, So what do you do as
Speaker 1: a new, brand new business owner? Yeah, when all this
Speaker 1: is happening, how do you handle that? What? What is
Speaker 1: your natural response? Like, how do you how do you
Speaker 1: stay motivated and not you know, getting super stress? Right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because not a lot. It is a lot. I think
Speaker 1: what I I don't really know what at the time,
Speaker 1: it is the timing of that. Yeah, I did get
Speaker 1: in touch with the health department. UM and Candice did
Speaker 1: the same thing in the Nashville location. Because I'm in
Speaker 1: Williamson County. She um got approval through the health department
Speaker 1: to be deemed essential, so she got to reback you know,
Speaker 1: open back up, and so we did the same thing.
Speaker 1: She's like, Meredith, you need to get in touch with
Speaker 1: the Williamson Health Department. And they were super nice there,
Speaker 1: like absolutely because people use it for you know, health reasons.
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, so they named us essential. I got
Speaker 1: that letter, and I think that put my mind, you know,
Speaker 1: at ease. I was like, Okay, they're gonna like let
Speaker 1: us open. Unlike God bless the poor gems and oh,
Speaker 1: I know, you know restaurants. I mean, that's tough. So
Speaker 1: we we're on in close dirty days. Um. But the
Speaker 1: trick was navigating masks and because how do you wear
Speaker 1: a mask when you float? Well, you don't, but like
Speaker 1: if they walked in, you know, we didn't really have
Speaker 1: any rules around masks yet. So I was like, do
Speaker 1: you leave it on? Do you leave it off? And
Speaker 1: if I left it off, people would get upset. If
Speaker 1: I put it on, people would get up sex. I'd say,
Speaker 1: you're too liberal if you know, yeah, you can't please everybody, right,
Speaker 1: So I would basically do it based on whoever walked
Speaker 1: in the door. However, they looked as how I looked,
Speaker 1: you know, like if they had their mask on, I
Speaker 1: had my mask on. If they had it off, I felt, okay,
Speaker 1: have it off because I've never been a big masker. Um.
Speaker 1: Sorry for all those who are true like it's a
Speaker 1: true like almost like um moral decision people have, Like
Speaker 1: I feel like people who are I've kind of always
Speaker 1: set in the middle of everything, but like people are
Speaker 1: like really anti are really four and like everyone has
Speaker 1: such strong release on either side. It's like, you know so,
Speaker 1: and I do want to be respectful to people that
Speaker 1: have health issues and it's real, it's legit out there. Um,
Speaker 1: but thank the Lord. I you know, I haven't had
Speaker 1: any issues, but I did have COVID. Oh how how
Speaker 1: was your experience? Um? It was okay. It was like
Speaker 1: last November, I just lost my taste and smell. I
Speaker 1: was super tired about five days. But I guess I
Speaker 1: was one of the lucky ones. Right. So okay, so
Speaker 1: you have this, You're deemed meant, you're deemed essential, which
Speaker 1: I totally agree because mental health is so important. Important
Speaker 1: When did you get on your mental health journey? Because
Speaker 1: so much of your life now. I feel like just
Speaker 1: from like knowing you, we haven't known it that long,
Speaker 1: but I can see how you roll. It is very
Speaker 1: and your husband to like Corey comes to yoga and
Speaker 1: he is very intentional and obviously floating and doing sauna.
Speaker 1: And so when did mental health become so important to you?
Speaker 1: And have always been this aware of mental health? There
Speaker 1: was there a moment when you're like, I guess was
Speaker 1: it your panic attacks? And that kind of led to
Speaker 1: everything else, And like, how has being aware of mental
Speaker 1: health and taking care of mental health, especially if you
Speaker 1: weren't as aware of it before, changed your life? M hmm.
Speaker 1: That's a good question, Like I have always. I grew
Speaker 1: up in a household that was very UM active physically
Speaker 1: UM portion control UM. You know, yeah, like very guidelines, yes,
Speaker 1: guidelines to live by, not necessarily the ones I wanted
Speaker 1: to live by, right, but your parents or your family had,
Speaker 1: like they had things worked out that they felt like
Speaker 1: worked as the one way to work probably right. And
Speaker 1: my dad was just always unfortunately for him, he's passed now,
Speaker 1: but he was always ahead of his curve, meaning like UM.
Speaker 1: He wrote his I think his graduate thesis on UM
Speaker 1: frozen foods before they were frozen foods and what was
Speaker 1: his The point of it is UM restaurants. My husband
Speaker 1: read the article recently was telling me because I totally
Speaker 1: forgot about it. But UM restaurants could have these portions
Speaker 1: prepared in portion control, frozen, ready to go, so that
Speaker 1: one restaurants, you know, got too busy or uh, supplies
Speaker 1: incoming as they were supposed to. They would have these
Speaker 1: things already prepackaged and ready to go. This is before
Speaker 1: we had like microwavable things. And it was just crazy.
Speaker 1: He was always ahead of things. He had a pill business,
Speaker 1: delivery business for pharmaceuticals before we had pharmaceuticals delivering. So
Speaker 1: it was like but but it was unfortunate because he
Speaker 1: was ahead of his curve where they didn't always make
Speaker 1: out because people are like, he's crazy. Oh we had
Speaker 1: a subway before there were subway sandwich shop. Yeah, so saw,
Speaker 1: it's just crazy. He was a visionary guy. He was
Speaker 1: a visionary. Yeah. But like I said, he was always
Speaker 1: too a little bit too m you know, too early
Speaker 1: for his stuff. His timing wasn't right, okay. Um, So
Speaker 1: that I grew up and then I was a serious
Speaker 1: tennis player. Um, when I was young and traveled a
Speaker 1: lot doing that. Um, and then I quit to the
Speaker 1: detriment of my parents. So sad do they want you
Speaker 1: to be like all the way? Yes? But who is really?
Speaker 1: How many people really go all the way? You're right,
Speaker 1: it's a very thing. You could have done it maybe
Speaker 1: so I could have. For all you out there, you
Speaker 1: can do so I had a lot of structure and
Speaker 1: a lot of intensity around your life. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: So I always My dad was a military guy, so
Speaker 1: I guess I always just was aware of keeping fit.
Speaker 1: But I'm not really sure about the mental knew that
Speaker 1: needed to be done. I really think I've learned along
Speaker 1: with all everybody else through the years, don't you, Like
Speaker 1: you know, it's just become such an issue topic. Like
Speaker 1: I feel like, especially back in the day, people didn't
Speaker 1: really even know how to talk about this stuff, and
Speaker 1: it was kind of like if you about you're sort
Speaker 1: of crazy, like you're saying you are, and you just
Speaker 1: and we really had to push it under the rug.
Speaker 1: I mean like, if anybody in your world came forward
Speaker 1: and admitted to their weaknesses, admitted to their problems, it
Speaker 1: made you look weak, you know. Now I think everybody
Speaker 1: is very open and accepting and gosh, if you can
Speaker 1: share your story, you might help somebody else. And people
Speaker 1: are all about helping others and helping ourselves and like
Speaker 1: even like with like your whole business and things like that.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, let's like, let's prioritize our mind. We
Speaker 1: prioritize working and making money, and we prioritize fitness, and
Speaker 1: we prioritize so many things, like why would we not
Speaker 1: prioritize what runs the whole ship? That's right, and the
Speaker 1: machine machine is amazing. The more I learned about the brain,
Speaker 1: not that I study it much, but when I hear things,
Speaker 1: and it's just amazing to me. So yeah, so that's
Speaker 1: number one right there. Gut and brains are the two
Speaker 1: things that we really need to focus on. Um So yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess it's just opper time. But I hadn't come
Speaker 1: from a background where, you know, we were non motivated,
Speaker 1: non movers. My dad was a bit of an over
Speaker 1: cheaper and puttle pressure on two, which I guess put
Speaker 1: some fire under me. Sometimes I liked it, sometimes I didn't.
Speaker 1: Something that's with pressure in general, I feel like it
Speaker 1: can force you to be something and do something that
Speaker 1: you're proud that you are, but you don't necessarily know
Speaker 1: why you're doing it or it's like so like mentally
Speaker 1: exhausting to get there that yes, you get these results,
Speaker 1: but your mind has not necessarily been on the same page.
Speaker 1: You know, But I can't tell you which is in
Speaker 1: this is funny about this? I hate my voice. I
Speaker 1: hate it. Yes, And I was listening to Kirby your
Speaker 1: podcast with her, and every sounds like an otters are hilarious.
Speaker 1: Kirby also everyone listened to that podcast. She's a stylist
Speaker 1: and she'll do a closet analysis. And I was telling
Speaker 1: Meredith even though Meredith does not need it, because you
Speaker 1: are one hot mama. If you ever need someone to
Speaker 1: like just like like razzle dazzle U, Kurby is the one.
Speaker 1: She's so great. Oh, I've seen your post. She does
Speaker 1: a phenomenal job. Like she's awesome. I'm hiring her for
Speaker 1: the next event whenever. That is yes, for sure. Um,
Speaker 1: you do not sound like an otter, does not, but
Speaker 1: I sound like something. But what was funny is I
Speaker 1: um went to all Miss and I think I ate
Speaker 1: my way through my freshman year and I think maybe
Speaker 1: I was trying to like get back at my dad
Speaker 1: or something for all that portion control. You know what,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong in that it's all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you're on your own, you have freedom. And
Speaker 1: I was always the same way, like very involved athletically,
Speaker 1: you know, I had a very healthy family, and I
Speaker 1: just wanted to eat junk and and drank. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: just want to make everything bad. And so I think
Speaker 1: that's why I love yoga, because I still loved eat pizza.
Speaker 1: I still love to eat French fries, I still love
Speaker 1: burger and I don't want to feel bad about it
Speaker 1: because I don't either. I don't like feeling like there's
Speaker 1: a good food and a bad food. And some people
Speaker 1: really work well with like parameters and you know, having
Speaker 1: off limits and on limits. Not me. I need to
Speaker 1: be able to choose from the whole variety of food
Speaker 1: based on what I feel like eating that day. And
Speaker 1: I just need to learn how to, like, you know,
Speaker 1: not gorge myself because I did the same thing I
Speaker 1: want to college freshman year and I went nuts me too.
Speaker 1: I was like, well, he's not going to tell me
Speaker 1: what I can eat. I came to thirty I think
Speaker 1: so I came home for thanks Yeah, and God only
Speaker 1: knows I had not only one dinner, but you know,
Speaker 1: you'd go out that night and party and come back
Speaker 1: and have another dinner like fast food drive through afterwards.
Speaker 1: Every night wherever I came home Thanksgiving, my dad goes,
Speaker 1: what happened to you? And I didn't see it. But
Speaker 1: I was going to major in journalism, and so I
Speaker 1: wanted to be and this is the only way I'm
Speaker 1: like my dad was. I wanted to be Aaron Andrews
Speaker 1: before Aaron Andrews exist. I loved sports. I wanted to
Speaker 1: be on the radio on TV or something to that sort.
Speaker 1: So I did the journalism classes and I got put
Speaker 1: on the radio and you hated your voice, hated my voice,
Speaker 1: and I turned you away from that career. Was your
Speaker 1: voice my voice? Could you just change your voice? And
Speaker 1: then I heard Kirby and I was like, Kirby, you
Speaker 1: do not sound bad. So you didn't pursue it because
Speaker 1: you didn't like to do your voice sound And that's horrible,
Speaker 1: Like it's not no, no, but I mean like it's
Speaker 1: horrible to give up something that you really wanted when
Speaker 1: you don't have a bad one, When well, you know,
Speaker 1: do you regret that you gave that dream up? Yes?
Speaker 1: I do. I haven't like dang if I regret it.
Speaker 1: I wished I would have had more confidence. Well, and
Speaker 1: you know, that's another great point to talk on because
Speaker 1: I feel that way as well. I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of women. I mean, I'm sure man, but I
Speaker 1: like to talk about women because I is one. Um.
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of women don't give themselves
Speaker 1: enough credit. And you can find one thing that discourages
Speaker 1: them to do something and let it really like discourage
Speaker 1: them all the way or take a different path, or
Speaker 1: take a different path, and it's hard to have like
Speaker 1: that confidence. And honestly, balls men have these balls they
Speaker 1: walk into like I can do whatever. One. Women we
Speaker 1: walk in and we start doubting our we do. We
Speaker 1: doubt everything. And then if we have one that's the
Speaker 1: thing with women were so emotional. If we have one
Speaker 1: person tell us like, oh you did it sounded different
Speaker 1: than we sounded weird or whatever it was, we give up.
Speaker 1: We don't say like excuse me. But some men will
Speaker 1: say screw you, you know, but they won't do it.
Speaker 1: Now you are a great example for people though, for confidence,
Speaker 1: meaning meaning in a positive way, because I love how
Speaker 1: natural you are on the camera. Um, I love. I
Speaker 1: told you I had a girl deliver a painting this morning,
Speaker 1: and I told her, I said, really, I should be
Speaker 1: podcasting her, if that's a word. I was, like, I mean,
Speaker 1: she was on the h the Amazing Race twice, she
Speaker 1: was in a band. I said, you should hear the
Speaker 1: voice on her like the girl I should be. I
Speaker 1: should be flipping this around on you. But um, I'm
Speaker 1: sure all your listeners already know how awesome you are.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you so much for saying that.
Speaker 1: And I have just not paying me to say this, right.
Speaker 1: It took me a long time to get here because
Speaker 1: I had so much insecurity when I was young and
Speaker 1: my teenagers and then my twenties and had I had
Speaker 1: so much pressure around myself just from my playing sports
Speaker 1: and feeling like I needed to look a certain way,
Speaker 1: that like I struggled with eating and then like binging
Speaker 1: in college, and like I struggled with eating disorders and
Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff just because of all the pressures
Speaker 1: of being a female, people not really talking about stuff
Speaker 1: as much as they do now. And I've got into
Speaker 1: just this roller coaster with like insecurities and body image
Speaker 1: stuff and then finally hit the wall. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: am so tired of this. How do you find that?
Speaker 1: I started doing things that interests me that I was
Speaker 1: really wanted to do that I felt like would validate me,
Speaker 1: Like I wanted to be a famous singer, so I
Speaker 1: pursued it. I had enough gumption to stick with a
Speaker 1: dream even though, like I didn't feel comfortable by myself.
Speaker 1: So I got in a trio with two They're strong women,
Speaker 1: so I felt stronger with them, and that worked for
Speaker 1: me because I didn't feel like I was necessarily strong
Speaker 1: enough on my own to carry a full dream of
Speaker 1: becoming a country singer. But paired with my triomates tailor Engin,
Speaker 1: I felt very strong and they helped me find my
Speaker 1: strength within myself and like learn what I loved and
Speaker 1: being around two other strong women all the time. I
Speaker 1: think I would succeed more with a team. I love
Speaker 1: a team. I do too with um you know the support.
Speaker 1: I love a team, and I wasn't ready to be
Speaker 1: on my own yet I didn't feel like I could
Speaker 1: handle it, and probably how you felt with journalism, I
Speaker 1: think I would have shut down immediately by myself, but
Speaker 1: like with Taylor and Gin, I felt very powerful and
Speaker 1: I grew into a version of myself that I love now,
Speaker 1: but also had a ton of learning lessons. I learned
Speaker 1: how to navigate high executive industry people, but with Tail
Speaker 1: and Jin as a support. So that's a tough industry.
Speaker 1: It's very tough, and I think I would have got
Speaker 1: myself so the strength of having other people with me.
Speaker 1: So I mean, maybe that's something to think about. Strengthened numbers.
Speaker 1: Strengthen numbers. If you feel, you know, like you're a
Speaker 1: little too nervous on your own, maybe pair up with
Speaker 1: with somebody. Yeah, And then that eventually gave me enough
Speaker 1: life experiences to trust myself and to feel like I
Speaker 1: was worthy worthy. It's all been to find worthiness, it is.
Speaker 1: The whole journey is to find Yeah. Yeah, I know
Speaker 1: how it is, and it's hard to find, especially when
Speaker 1: you're younger. You know, it does take some time probably
Speaker 1: to get that confidence. But um, the podcast was the
Speaker 1: first thing I've ever done on my own. I've always
Speaker 1: been with other people. Yeah, I'm probably that way too. Um.
Speaker 1: I even thought about bringing Liz with me to this
Speaker 1: because I don't like your part. Well she's not. She's
Speaker 1: my general manager because you didn't want to. Isn't that
Speaker 1: funny though? But yeah, I was like, maybe I should
Speaker 1: bring Liz and Core's like no, but your voice would
Speaker 1: be a problem. Would you would rather have someone else
Speaker 1: do it? Because you doubt your voice? Isn't that funny
Speaker 1: our doubt? The way I'll put it out there? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? You have such a great easy
Speaker 1: flow and a great conversation, and you've got you're such
Speaker 1: a great story. Isn't it funny what we get hooked on?
Speaker 1: It is funny even you know as you get older,
Speaker 1: you're like, surely that stuff will go away, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta work on a one million years thought you
Speaker 1: had a weird voice? So funny to you, it's like
Speaker 1: a huge thing. Yeah it is, and you've carried around
Speaker 1: with you for years. Right, there's not much I can
Speaker 1: do about it, right, so should we try to release it?
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to learn Spanish, so maybe I could
Speaker 1: just speak. I think you should just know you have
Speaker 1: a great voice. Thank you, and thank you to think
Speaker 1: of it this way. Think of all the things your
Speaker 1: voice has served you well in you know like your
Speaker 1: voice has allowed you to raise your children and speak
Speaker 1: to them like loving and kindness over them, and like
Speaker 1: you help them grow into the humans they are. Your
Speaker 1: voice has led you to meeting your husband and navigating
Speaker 1: your personal inner journey. That like leading you to be
Speaker 1: curious and communicating those thoughts, opening your studio. I mean,
Speaker 1: your voice has done a lot of good stuff for you.
Speaker 1: You need a voice, right, You need a voice, and
Speaker 1: it's done what it's supposed to do. That's right. So
Speaker 1: what God gave me, Well, it's like trying to get
Speaker 1: your voice LiPo section. Like we look at our bodies
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, I need to like fix that.
Speaker 1: I need to fix this. But it's your body serving
Speaker 1: it's function for you. We gotta love it. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: we do. That's a good point. I'm glad you came
Speaker 1: by yourself. Thank you, thank you. I'm enjoying this conversation.
Speaker 1: I loved it. Is your general manager? Is she the
Speaker 1: one that has overcome lyme disease with No? That's Karen.
Speaker 1: She's in our cool Spring studio actually a client, and
Speaker 1: then she wanted to work for me and I kind
Speaker 1: of was like, I don't know about that. Because you know,
Speaker 1: if it doesn't work out with somebody you hire, then
Speaker 1: you also lose them as a client. UM. But I
Speaker 1: just kind of trust your intuition, trusted And she was
Speaker 1: so nice about running around town. She teaches yoga and
Speaker 1: she would tell everybody about us, and she would say, oh,
Speaker 1: I have a great connection because we have a lot
Speaker 1: of functional medicine. UM. I guess you'd call them physicians,
Speaker 1: a lot of more nurse practitioners, but um, which is
Speaker 1: pretty norn closed. Um. But they would send people to
Speaker 1: us from Karen, touching base with them because they believe
Speaker 1: in the modalities as well. UM. So I was like,
Speaker 1: modalities are all the things that like does well just
Speaker 1: meaning like um, the services we have. It's like the
Speaker 1: floating high class words. You know what the new word
Speaker 1: is today. I've decided efficacy. I hear that all over efficacy.
Speaker 1: What does that like? People say what that the what?
Speaker 1: How did they say it? Like the saunas? Is it
Speaker 1: like efficient efficacy? Yeah, like it's the efficiency of it.
Speaker 1: And I heard it on TV the other day and
Speaker 1: I thought that like an efficiency, it's ethicac efficacy or
Speaker 1: the way that it of efficacy, meaning like that it
Speaker 1: affects you that way, it affects you, it works for you. Efficacy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So anyway, okay, enlightening me and everyone listening. So Karen
Speaker 1: has been awesome. I ended up hiring her because she
Speaker 1: was such a promoter of us and believed in the
Speaker 1: services and actual results. Well, and that's the thing. When
Speaker 1: I walked in for the first time, she was there
Speaker 1: and she told me her story, and I literally was like,
Speaker 1: because I know several people with limes disease and they
Speaker 1: have gone all around the world trying to cure this
Speaker 1: because it actually my best friends says limes disease. I
Speaker 1: need to tell her yet, but people who have limes disease,
Speaker 1: it is so frustrating and it really takes you down,
Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of like relief and piers
Speaker 1: out there. And so she said she's went consistently for
Speaker 1: like months. I don't know if she want like every
Speaker 1: day or like three times a week or something, but
Speaker 1: she was twelve sessions a month. So she came three
Speaker 1: times a week for four weeks, and she's all of
Speaker 1: her symptoms of limes disease have stopped presenting themselves and
Speaker 1: she hasn't had them in years. No, and she never
Speaker 1: got COVID. She did really interest and she's been around
Speaker 1: people she doesn't. She doesn't usually like face masks. She
Speaker 1: swears on the swears on the saunas because it keeps
Speaker 1: her auto immune, and her immune might since even if
Speaker 1: you don't float three times a week like going to
Speaker 1: the sun, and that's the thing to you. You can
Speaker 1: separate these services. They don't have to go together. They're
Speaker 1: great going together. But even if you can stop in
Speaker 1: for thirty minutes and do your sauna, absolutely that's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some people just do and it's just like instead of
Speaker 1: taking you know, like some people take like advil because
Speaker 1: they have pain every single day or some people. You know,
Speaker 1: you have these things in your routine, these habit stacking
Speaker 1: things you have in your teine. Just stack this into
Speaker 1: your routine and then that will help you in the
Speaker 1: long term dealing with illnesses and feeling great. Right, like
Speaker 1: we do we do yoga, Yeah, when we go sweat
Speaker 1: and then we we feel okay to eat lunch. And
Speaker 1: some people are like, well, I don't have time, I
Speaker 1: can't afford this, and you know, and I totally get that,
Speaker 1: but it's like you can make this work for you,
Speaker 1: because just think of some of the things we probably
Speaker 1: spend money on that aren't serving us at all. And
Speaker 1: if you are struggling with like health issues or not
Speaker 1: feeling well, just figure out a way to like change
Speaker 1: something that's not serving you and put it in this
Speaker 1: area because this will serve you in so many and
Speaker 1: you can't even do it for like thirty minutes here
Speaker 1: and there. And just because y'all are open to a PM, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're open. Um in Brent would tend to eight and
Speaker 1: then cool springs nine to nine to eight. I just
Speaker 1: think it is so important to help yourself, you know.
Speaker 1: And it does cost money, and it does involve a
Speaker 1: time little time, and it is hard to do that,
Speaker 1: especially when you're working and you have kids and there's
Speaker 1: so much on your plate. But because there's so much
Speaker 1: on your plate, if you can take a little bit
Speaker 1: of time once a week, you know, twice a month
Speaker 1: as much as you can start with, and really give
Speaker 1: your body and your mind a chance to turn off
Speaker 1: and have a break and reset like that will and
Speaker 1: then have heat come in and heal you and help you,
Speaker 1: and then salt as well coming into you know, if
Speaker 1: you actually can prioritize and not think it's like silly
Speaker 1: to like take time to do this or it's just extra,
Speaker 1: but like really think about the benefits that will serve
Speaker 1: you so much more in the big picture of your life,
Speaker 1: like rejuvenate your your body, giving you more energy, giving
Speaker 1: you more mental clarity, like helping you not get sick,
Speaker 1: just so helping your joints feel better, just helping you
Speaker 1: do your life better. And then allowing you to like
Speaker 1: slow down in life too, because you have this moment
Speaker 1: where you turn off and then you can start trying
Speaker 1: to apply that to other areas of your life instead
Speaker 1: of just getting sucked up into the routine of life. Life.
Speaker 1: This whole it just does it does. I'm like determined
Speaker 1: soon to put my phone down for twenty four hours now.
Speaker 1: I know I haven't done it yet, but I want to.
Speaker 1: But what if someone has to call you? I know,
Speaker 1: like when when I have five kids, You're like, somebody
Speaker 1: might need me, right, did you get a pager? That's
Speaker 1: a great idea, So this is only for an emergency.
Speaker 1: You can page me at this number every I'm putting
Speaker 1: this fun down and I bet I would be okay
Speaker 1: when I came back you know what if you g
Speaker 1: that you know you need to be in contact with,
Speaker 1: if they all had your page number, then and they're
Speaker 1: not going to page me unless it's necessary. Actually, that's
Speaker 1: not a bad idea. The page challenge. I like it
Speaker 1: to sell pages. Can we get on the black market
Speaker 1: finding a pager? These days? Blackberries, pagers, all those things
Speaker 1: that are way before pages are so probably just the
Speaker 1: number pops up on the page, right, I think I've
Speaker 1: never had one. We need to study how page even works.
Speaker 1: I know I've never had a page. I love that,
Speaker 1: though I do know I'm gonna tempted. But it does
Speaker 1: involve intentional living. And this is the thing and so
Speaker 1: many of us it's hard to have intentional living, and
Speaker 1: it is a luxury to have intentional living, it sounds like,
Speaker 1: But really, if you can get on board with harving
Speaker 1: out some little space for you, even if you don't
Speaker 1: even like just like having a bath and pouring epps
Speaker 1: and salt into it, and like setting a meditation, like
Speaker 1: you have to find you need to start somewhere in
Speaker 1: your life, don't you think? Yeah? And I think our
Speaker 1: mental health is absolutely I mean I hate to sound
Speaker 1: some like, oh calm, to everybody, But I mean it's
Speaker 1: so important. It's mental health. Like, be honest, I worry
Speaker 1: about my youngest because she graduated in the pandemic. She
Speaker 1: didn't even really get to graduate. I mean they ended
Speaker 1: up walking but masked and distance and didn't get to
Speaker 1: have her senior year. Then she went off to Georgia,
Speaker 1: was miserable because they didn't have classes. They were in
Speaker 1: their dorm. She was like, why are you in college
Speaker 1: when you're just in your dorm. You'd rather almost be
Speaker 1: at home exactly what she did. She ended up coming
Speaker 1: home because I would be so homesick if I was
Speaker 1: just trapped to my dormo in a place I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I know, I just worry about their mental state, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, gosh. So then she came home and
Speaker 1: finished out at home and now she's at Tennessee. But
Speaker 1: I'm my gosh, the world for them is so like stressful.
Speaker 1: I worry about their mental and isn't like the isolation
Speaker 1: that not being able to associate with people, and then
Speaker 1: the division I'm not having, Like you know, how was
Speaker 1: your senior year and feeling so like just in your
Speaker 1: own your freshman year of college, you know, just like
Speaker 1: you miss kind of all those Pinnacle people because you
Speaker 1: can't be around people, you can't be around the virus spreads.
Speaker 1: It is such a mental it is such a mental thing,
Speaker 1: you know. And you even delivered during I had sunny
Speaker 1: ind September in two thousand nineteen, so right before the pandemic,
Speaker 1: six months before, so you can still have people in
Speaker 1: the hospital. We had everyone in them, Thank the Lord's
Speaker 1: not even feel bad for the mamas. I'm like, especially
Speaker 1: when the first hit and like moms are having to
Speaker 1: deliver even without the husbands and their masks everything, So
Speaker 1: that's so mentally hard, Like that wears on you and
Speaker 1: like everything the husband who doesn't get to be in
Speaker 1: the you know, it's like all this stuff and yes,
Speaker 1: we're navigating, but like these things have effects mental health.
Speaker 1: And that's why more than ever now because also on
Speaker 1: Jill's Instagram, I learned in two thousand eighteen, the depression
Speaker 1: rate has increased like three times. Yes, it is like
Speaker 1: considered I think one of the second most detrimental diseases
Speaker 1: now because if you can call it a disease, depression, depression,
Speaker 1: yeah you can, um yeah, So I just think that
Speaker 1: it's something easy we can push aside, you know, because
Speaker 1: obviously you still need to exercise, you need to have
Speaker 1: a good dot, you need we need to make money,
Speaker 1: you need to take care of your kids. But all
Speaker 1: these things always take precedence over our own mental health, which,
Speaker 1: like we said in the beginning, is the machine that
Speaker 1: runs it all. So if our mental health is suffering,
Speaker 1: then like everything we're doing is suffering. We're not fully present,
Speaker 1: and we're not giving our best self, and we're stressed
Speaker 1: out and we're strung out, and we're exhausted and we're
Speaker 1: panicked and we're scared and all of this is running
Speaker 1: our show. But when it take this time for mental health,
Speaker 1: you can regroup and reset and get intentional and find
Speaker 1: joy and God and like something bigger and you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think we could live to a hundred and eleven.
Speaker 1: I just saw some lady the other day then hundred
Speaker 1: and eleven, and I was like, and she still was like,
Speaker 1: she's probably did yoga, was a vegetarian and floated into
Speaker 1: saunas every day healthy. I don't need to live in
Speaker 1: Colorado and didn't have internet, and when you just detached
Speaker 1: from all, I was like, gosh, if we could be
Speaker 1: if we could know that we would have mental health
Speaker 1: up until a really old age, like being present and
Speaker 1: not getting Alzheimer's and all these things. I mean, who
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it right? Because we just want to live
Speaker 1: a long life where we're present and clear and our
Speaker 1: brain is still functioning properly, you know. Like I always
Speaker 1: think about that. I'm like, that's like a goal of mine. Well,
Speaker 1: and I think actually achieving mental health is really one
Speaker 1: of the greatest things you can do in your life
Speaker 1: because it is personal journey, you know. And I think
Speaker 1: that is the thing that's hard, is like there's so
Speaker 1: many things that we can plug into in life, and like,
Speaker 1: starting even with school at a young age, you have
Speaker 1: teachers and like curriculums and all these things telling you
Speaker 1: what to do, how you need to achieve when you've
Speaker 1: reached these goals, what you have to do to reach
Speaker 1: these goals. It's like, you know, and then you have
Speaker 1: a family environment that tells you, you know, you have
Speaker 1: family structure and you've got to do this as a
Speaker 1: part of the family and everything, society, norms, everything are
Speaker 1: being told how to live, what to do, what the
Speaker 1: steps are, how to get there. Ya YadA, YadA. Mental
Speaker 1: health is the only thing that you are completely in
Speaker 1: charge of by yourself, and you have to take initiative
Speaker 1: to handle it on your own because you're the only
Speaker 1: one who knows what's going on in your brain. You're right, absolutely,
Speaker 1: that is a good message. So if you really that,
Speaker 1: it's the full one responsibility you have to yourself from
Speaker 1: yourself and only you can do it, and you can
Speaker 1: do it no matter what your circumstances are, because there's
Speaker 1: especially this is where internet is great and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: With all of this access we have, you can choose
Speaker 1: to access things that will encourage your mental health. Yes
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, use your brain, take care, take care
Speaker 1: of it, intentional your whole body, and that fuel it.
Speaker 1: And that's why I feel like you're floating in sauna.
Speaker 1: It is just one more part of that picture of
Speaker 1: mental health. And if you can incorporate that into your life,
Speaker 1: you are serving yourself. So well, yeah you are. And
Speaker 1: that's why said it really is there really is something
Speaker 1: for everybody in both of those. Um. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was just sitting here thinking it through as you're talking.
Speaker 1: I was like, people come with us of sleep deprivation
Speaker 1: because thinks people coming. Let's go through that list. I
Speaker 1: would love to talk about that. We like, the magnesium
Speaker 1: will help you sleep. So where's the magnesium in the salt?
Speaker 1: That is salt so when it kind of feels like
Speaker 1: you're in the dead sea, right, it does. It's um
Speaker 1: cool Springs has like a thousand pounds. This Brentwood one
Speaker 1: has pounds, so we measure it daily UM to make
Speaker 1: sure the salinity levels are up. It has a super
Speaker 1: crazy filtration systems super clean. It's super clean. Not you're
Speaker 1: not laying in people's backwash and stuff. No, No, it's
Speaker 1: an ozone light and um UV light and they combine.
Speaker 1: It's a fifteen minute filtration um it. It It collects even
Speaker 1: skin cell sizes size things UM and it runs three
Speaker 1: times through so when the water comes out. The company
Speaker 1: it's superior. They said that it's actually drinkable if you
Speaker 1: didn't have the salt in it. Awesome. I mean, so
Speaker 1: it's clean and yeah, I just think we're drinking sewage
Speaker 1: water from like our bright plants that is like so yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's extremely sanitary, extreen clean. Also there's no um
Speaker 1: cracks and crevices so that things can't live in it.
Speaker 1: They've made it so that it's seamless, so there's no
Speaker 1: there's no mode or anything that can gather. So that's
Speaker 1: another one of their things. UM, and they make um.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has one of their floats, the Bears the
Speaker 1: forty Honors. Now they're doing colleges like Clemson Tigers, so
Speaker 1: they know their space for sure. And I would say
Speaker 1: they are the premier float brand. But um, we get
Speaker 1: people kids with concussions. Of course, we you know, like
Speaker 1: a little doctor's note to say, just because you know,
Speaker 1: if they're under sixteen. But um, we get because it
Speaker 1: helps with your brain function so it will help them
Speaker 1: recover quicker. So we get kids that coming for that.
Speaker 1: Like I said, we get pregnant women, we get athletes,
Speaker 1: we get songwriters because it does help with creativity because um,
Speaker 1: the magnesium helps with the brain functioning. And then also
Speaker 1: to take like let's say you or your husband went
Speaker 1: in there, it can take away the other business that's
Speaker 1: going around in the world and you can focus on
Speaker 1: more of what you're trying to dig into. UM. So
Speaker 1: that's why they like it as well. Just to shut
Speaker 1: your brain off and let inspiration flow. Yes, inspiration, that's
Speaker 1: right for the creative people, which I'm not so super creative,
Speaker 1: so I'm always like in all of y'all and your creativity.
Speaker 1: I told your husband, I said, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: gift from God that you two can sing that way. Yeah, truly,
Speaker 1: I said, you can fine tune things. That's kind of
Speaker 1: like an athlete, right, you know who's going to be
Speaker 1: a Tom Brady. You know that's a gift from God, right,
Speaker 1: and then you have to work at it. Once you
Speaker 1: know you have the talent, then you have to really
Speaker 1: Not everyone takes I'm sure there's other people out there
Speaker 1: who are born with Tom Brady talent, but they don't
Speaker 1: have the discipline, work ethic, or drive to take it
Speaker 1: all the way because what it takes to become that
Speaker 1: level you have to be on another level. He's like amazing.
Speaker 1: I know, he's like supermanl it, but like like attracts
Speaker 1: Like of course they would match up because they're they're
Speaker 1: they're they're operating at their highest vibration in this life.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're just so in tuned every
Speaker 1: part of their life. They're they're so intentionally living and
Speaker 1: talk about two healthy people. That's what I'm Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was too. I don't think they even drink coffee alcohol
Speaker 1: to be so, but to be in the mindset to
Speaker 1: be so permitted every day of your life to intentionally
Speaker 1: living to your highest standard. I mean I don't want
Speaker 1: to live to my highest standard. I want to go
Speaker 1: through Chick fil A, neat French fries, you know, I
Speaker 1: know too, Like today's the day, like I started, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of getting hungry right now. I'm like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go get Chick fil A after I pick up money
Speaker 1: from school. Giselle would never do that. You would never
Speaker 1: do that, And I guess I tried to tell you know,
Speaker 1: like everybody's a balance, right. Life is just a balance,
Speaker 1: and you have to find your balance, you do. You
Speaker 1: have to, you know, take the good with the bad
Speaker 1: and you know, figure out something in between and find
Speaker 1: the place the balancing your life to work. In mental health,
Speaker 1: you have to whether if you can do float, if
Speaker 1: you if you're in Nashville and you can do something
Speaker 1: like focus on it and yoga, do that. If you can,
Speaker 1: then figure out what you can start including in your life,
Speaker 1: because do you feel like your life has changed? UNCEI
Speaker 1: You've started prioritizing your mental health oh gosh, for sure.
Speaker 1: What's changed in Yeah, well, the panic attacks have certainly
Speaker 1: gotten better. Um, I feel much like calmer, and I'm
Speaker 1: a better communicator. Maybe I'm more thoughtful in my delivery. Um,
Speaker 1: even with like my family, because I feel like I've
Speaker 1: always been very like quick to jump on something. I
Speaker 1: unfortunately am that mom. That's like what you do. You know,
Speaker 1: when something happened on the playground when they were a
Speaker 1: little I was like, I'm sure she was, she was
Speaker 1: involved in it, you know where Now I'm a little
Speaker 1: more thoughtful than that, where I'm like, you know, so, like,
Speaker 1: tell me about the situation. You're not jumping to your
Speaker 1: own conclusions. You're letting them tell you their perspective first,
Speaker 1: without like yeah, putt black and white projecting what you
Speaker 1: think is black. And I think I used to just
Speaker 1: be black and white and my dad was black and
Speaker 1: my mom was Now I just have a lot of color,
Speaker 1: you know. Color would you say has entered your life
Speaker 1: the most of you had to pick a color? Well,
Speaker 1: Red's my favorite color, but I feel like blue has entered.
Speaker 1: And I have a very calming wall in your studio. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do. I love that. I think something similar in
Speaker 1: a purple color here. I love that wall. That wall,
Speaker 1: this swirling it's like a gemstone cutter that it has
Speaker 1: like turquoise and all these different like gold specs and color.
Speaker 1: It looks like a beautiful gympsum rock cut open and
Speaker 1: all these swirling blues and whites and gold. It's so peaceful.
Speaker 1: I wanted to make it really different from the UM
Speaker 1: Cool Springs location, which is very as a picture of
Speaker 1: UM the panhandle on there, because we have a place
Speaker 1: in uh Seaside area, so we have a big picture
Speaker 1: on the wall of that and it's a little more
Speaker 1: beechy with baskets and you know, seagrass rugs and things
Speaker 1: like that. UM and this one, I wanted to make
Speaker 1: a little more hip and modern because we're moving closer
Speaker 1: into Nashville, so I thought we might have a little
Speaker 1: more eclectic. Not the Franklin people aren't eclectic, but it's
Speaker 1: a little more suburban. UM. You know. I thought, well
Speaker 1: maybe we'll have more musicians that are you know, creative
Speaker 1: and UM. So I wanted to make it just a
Speaker 1: different feel. So when you went to either location, because
Speaker 1: if you remember, you can use either UM that they
Speaker 1: would have a different experience every time that they went.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I really love about it too,
Speaker 1: especially the sauna part. I love the floating. Like Michael
Speaker 1: loves the floating. I didn't know if he was gonna
Speaker 1: like it because like he sometimes gets claustrophobic and stuff,
Speaker 1: but he loves the floating so much, which room right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love them both. But I like, I really responded
Speaker 1: to the sauna because I love heat. Heat. I love heat,
Speaker 1: and I love all the benefits that the sauna does,
Speaker 1: and I love that. Like I've blocked off forty five
Speaker 1: minutes to sit in that sauna, which is a large
Speaker 1: chunk of time, but like I blocked it off into
Speaker 1: my calendar. I knew Sunny was taken care of. I
Speaker 1: knew my responsibilities for work were like being handled. Like
Speaker 1: I didn't have anything around that time, and I went
Speaker 1: in and I didn't have my phone in there. I
Speaker 1: put on some like meditating music, and I just gave
Speaker 1: myself that time where I didn't have to do anything,
Speaker 1: and I was like able to stop my brain from
Speaker 1: working because I'm like, everything is handled, everything is in
Speaker 1: your calendar. Everything is like on an agenda, and this
Speaker 1: is part of your agenda. So relax, relax. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love um very popular doctor in town. Here goes in
Speaker 1: there and he'll do back to back with no nothing
Speaker 1: like because we have the calm map in there. We
Speaker 1: have Netflix for the people watch TV if you watch TV,
Speaker 1: because just fine, because sometimes it gets hot and you
Speaker 1: need a distraction, Like I'm gonna turn on a TV
Speaker 1: show sometimes because you're like, so that's cool too, if
Speaker 1: you just want to watch a TV show and zone
Speaker 1: out in the middle of the day while you're getting
Speaker 1: these benefits. And what I do is I watched watch
Speaker 1: all the trashy shows my husband doesn't like, you know, like,
Speaker 1: what's it? Blinded by blind love, his love, his blood.
Speaker 1: I love that. I was watching Brazil the other day.
Speaker 1: I actually watched the subtitles the other day. Did you
Speaker 1: watch span or subtitles? I did too. I didn't think
Speaker 1: I was. And then I love those dating shows. I
Speaker 1: love Bachelor, Bachelor, Paradise, everything, count me in. I know
Speaker 1: it's awful, but I still can find good in all
Speaker 1: of them. I can find I can, and this is
Speaker 1: my escape that I guess. You know, So you can
Speaker 1: do that, or you can listen to the calm map,
Speaker 1: or you can do like he does nothing at all,
Speaker 1: um and just has that time because he's probably said
Speaker 1: he's a doctor, so I imagine his brain he's doing
Speaker 1: life saving things every single day, like you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: and so he needs to have a place to turn
Speaker 1: off his nervous system. The quiet is hard. Quiet, quiet
Speaker 1: is hard. You know, I would actually go to him
Speaker 1: as a doctor because now that I know he's that intentional,
Speaker 1: and that he has such a high stressful, very like
Speaker 1: life and death job, and you know that he's prioritizing
Speaker 1: his own self, that makes me think highly of him
Speaker 1: as a doctor. Absolutely. I think that that's. Yeah, probably
Speaker 1: one of the reasons people do, you know, because he
Speaker 1: knows what he needs to do to make sure he
Speaker 1: can operate at his best and he does it. That's impressive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is because mental health, Like if you are actually
Speaker 1: dealing with someone who values mental health, then they are
Speaker 1: very intentional because like you have to be intentional to
Speaker 1: deal with your mental health. You have to because it's
Speaker 1: hard to deal with your mental health. And a lot
Speaker 1: for most of our life sometimes we don't even know
Speaker 1: we've got things going on or what's happening. That is
Speaker 1: so funny you say that because I said that to
Speaker 1: my husband the other day. I was like, is therapy
Speaker 1: good for me? Because all the studd now you have
Speaker 1: all these of a sudden I'm like aware of stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, exactly makes you might visit your entire life,
Speaker 1: I know, And I'm like, I don't want to really
Speaker 1: remember all that, and now you have to. It's like
Speaker 1: your whole life. We had it in a box, and
Speaker 1: it was all organized in this box, and then therapy
Speaker 1: just shakes it up and throws it on the ground,
Speaker 1: I know. And then and then you're like, now what
Speaker 1: do I do about it? And You're like I had
Speaker 1: all organized and I knew how to live within my
Speaker 1: box that I had created it on my own personal traumas,
Speaker 1: and now it's all on the floor and I'm looking
Speaker 1: at it. I don't know what the f to do
Speaker 1: with any of That's so true. That's exactly how I've
Speaker 1: been feeling. And so I'm like, I love her, but
Speaker 1: you have But that's why therapy is commitment. You have
Speaker 1: to stick with it because until health too, you have
Speaker 1: to and it that's why therapy is not a quick fix,
Speaker 1: because now all of your ship that you had all
Speaker 1: boxed up and organized that you learned how to survive
Speaker 1: in is now all on display. You can see it
Speaker 1: your therapist since and you have to literally go weekly
Speaker 1: to pick it all back up and examine it and
Speaker 1: then put it back in your box in a different way.
Speaker 1: And then you see why you work the way you
Speaker 1: do today. And it's funny asked about the angiogram earlier
Speaker 1: because I had done it, I guess about two years
Speaker 1: or so. Yeah, and I'm six. And I went to
Speaker 1: her and she's like, what's your Anyagraham? Do you know?
Speaker 1: Because I really believe in that, And I was. I
Speaker 1: stood there and I was like, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: need to go look at home. So I sent it
Speaker 1: to her and she's like, you're so a six. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm very head thinker, um where I need to be
Speaker 1: more in my heart sometimes, but I'm very uh, just
Speaker 1: motivated by what my head tells me, which is not
Speaker 1: always a good thing. So she's trying to work on
Speaker 1: me to think, connect the head in the connect the
Speaker 1: head in the heart, and like, really go more with
Speaker 1: your gut, married And she said, you have a good gut,
Speaker 1: you just don't trust in yourself because you're so you're
Speaker 1: so in your head the thing with your voice, like
Speaker 1: you think your voice would hold you back, right. So
Speaker 1: so that's a good part, you know, and that it's
Speaker 1: interesting because then she'll tell me how I need to
Speaker 1: deal with the four like you emotional wreck over here
Speaker 1: all right? With your relationship with her? You know, how
Speaker 1: would you handle her if she comes to you and
Speaker 1: she's upset about something? You're like, why are you upset
Speaker 1: about that? I don't understand you? Are you so emotional?
Speaker 1: This is not that hard. So it's really it's really neat.
Speaker 1: And so that's something I've gotten out of it. Because
Speaker 1: my husband's a seven as Michael is to seven. They
Speaker 1: can just find the joy and like they're great, super optimistic.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm like, why why are you always half
Speaker 1: glass full? But it's great because I need it. It
Speaker 1: balances us out about for sure, totally. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: that therapy has been good. But like you said, your
Speaker 1: ships all over the ground, and I've got to figure
Speaker 1: out what where to put it back in the box
Speaker 1: or do I not put it back in the box?
Speaker 1: And exactly and especially if you don't do it till
Speaker 1: you're older, you know, which most of us don't because
Speaker 1: like you don't really what. Kids start therapy young some
Speaker 1: more now because the world is getting more aware and
Speaker 1: enlightened or whatever. But like, so you start now in
Speaker 1: your middle age or whatever, and you've lived so much
Speaker 1: of your life figuring it out on your own, and
Speaker 1: now you have a therapist helping you do this. But
Speaker 1: it's like it sucks to have to deal with it
Speaker 1: on then actually then be honest about it. And then
Speaker 1: you have to change the way you looked at something.
Speaker 1: And that's right, you can't block this anymore, just pushed
Speaker 1: it under the rug, and I have to feel this now,
Speaker 1: and it's like I have to actually have a clear
Speaker 1: vision about how this impacted me. That's up. Or you
Speaker 1: look back at your parents and you're like, so that's
Speaker 1: why I'm like that, you know, because you did this
Speaker 1: to me. Examining as hard. And then you have to,
Speaker 1: like you said, I put it back in the box.
Speaker 1: Where I put in the box? How much space has
Speaker 1: taken the boxer doesn't even go in the box, right,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if I want to back in
Speaker 1: the box. And then you have to recreate your whole
Speaker 1: personality and it's like tough, good, it's hard. That's what
Speaker 1: people don't like to do this though. They don't like
Speaker 1: to start younger, aren't younger and as you just said,
Speaker 1: middle aged. I'm laughing because my daughter, my youngest daughter,
Speaker 1: was like, technically you're not anymore. She's like the Lifes
Speaker 1: fans about eighty two, you know, she was so funny.
Speaker 1: I was like, thanks, Lily, I'm telling you that. But
Speaker 1: you have got the secret to you because you are glowing.
Speaker 1: You're just like glowing. Yeah, it's probably cause you started
Speaker 1: prioritizing mental health. And I try to take care of myself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I try to UM definitely, because I think it projects
Speaker 1: on everybody around me, right, And also I love that
Speaker 1: you and your husband do it together, like I love
Speaker 1: staying on yoga together and I but that's also a
Speaker 1: blessing to me and my girls completely, you know, completely,
Speaker 1: we did and he he treats them just like his own.
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me. And he was adopted at I
Speaker 1: think around eight, UM disappeared, well know, his mom got
Speaker 1: married at fifteen, pregnant at seventeen, and then his dad
Speaker 1: kind of left the picture. And then his dad now
Speaker 1: who he calls dad, and was adopted by I think
Speaker 1: at about eight, it was official married his mom married
Speaker 1: his mom. And I think that it was a blessing
Speaker 1: for me because he came in and he under still
Speaker 1: what he understood it for someone to have not been
Speaker 1: in your life but then to be a really important
Speaker 1: role model. So he had a great stepfather. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and he understood how valuable that was, so he could
Speaker 1: be that honestly to your girls. You knew the the
Speaker 1: what it felt like, and I think that's so rare.
Speaker 1: It is rare. People are like, oh, they're not mine,
Speaker 1: or you know, a little disconnect, but he lived through
Speaker 1: it and he knew. Yeah, and my kids had a
Speaker 1: disconnect with their own father, so they really needed that
Speaker 1: space field. So I truly think he was just like
Speaker 1: a gift for us, you know. And he's always supported
Speaker 1: me in business. As I told you earlier, sold real
Speaker 1: estate and he was like, maybe you're a little too honest,
Speaker 1: you said, because you had trouble closing deals. I was like,
Speaker 1: how would buy anything from you? So why do you
Speaker 1: have trouble closing deals? And then you said yeah. I
Speaker 1: was just like, I'm just too I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: want to say too honest, because realtors are all honest,
Speaker 1: But I was just to like warm my heart on
Speaker 1: my sleeve, Like if there's something that you wouldn't have
Speaker 1: liked about the house, you told it. Yeah. I had
Speaker 1: a really hard time separating my my personal likes and
Speaker 1: dislikes with my clients. So it's like if the house
Speaker 1: didn't feel right for something you for you, then you
Speaker 1: would tell them all that reason. They're like okay, well yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd say, am another way, or let's look at some
Speaker 1: more houses, you know where they'd be like okay, but
Speaker 1: we really like that. When I'm like that's okay, we
Speaker 1: can still look at some others. And husband's like, okay,
Speaker 1: you're six months in, you haven't closed the deal, Like
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And he's like, it's not your
Speaker 1: house existence there. I think they should be in this
Speaker 1: school district or that school you know. So yeah, so that,
Speaker 1: but he always supported me. He's like, how can I
Speaker 1: help you with marketing? And you know, and then with
Speaker 1: this path. He's my biggest investor in Pierce Weft flot
Speaker 1: student So is he what is what is he in?
Speaker 1: He's an insurance hands underwriting m company and then also
Speaker 1: claims company and um cool rings so as he calls
Speaker 1: it non sexy, but it was like, well past the fills,
Speaker 1: so right, it doesn't have to be sexy exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so um yeah, but he's very supportive of this, and
Speaker 1: he certainly gets started hearing about it from me. You know,
Speaker 1: like especially with the employment. If anybody's out there, where
Speaker 1: is everybody? No one's working? Where is everybody? Don't know.
Speaker 1: I cannot figure it out. I have like ads running
Speaker 1: and it's not that I don't get quality people. I
Speaker 1: don't get people right where they all go. So I
Speaker 1: know it's crazy. So every day I'm like where you know,
Speaker 1: everyone wants to healers. Everybody should come work for you guys.
Speaker 1: I would love you do like saunas and stuff if
Speaker 1: you work there for sure free because we want you
Speaker 1: all to y We want people to speak of it,
Speaker 1: you know, and everyone who needs a job. This story
Speaker 1: should work because you don't get the benefits for the
Speaker 1: mental health and now we have commission and bonuses and
Speaker 1: um yeah, I mean we're just it's great. And then
Speaker 1: you also get connections to all the wellness community, you know,
Speaker 1: because we have functional medicine, doctors, chiropractors, athletes, you know,
Speaker 1: partner with like we partnered with core Powers, like you know,
Speaker 1: just all those connections and how great. So even if
Speaker 1: you're interested in the wellness journey, this would be a
Speaker 1: great place to start working because you could get access
Speaker 1: into seeing what's out there, what you really gravitate towards.
Speaker 1: I love that clean juice cross the street, je do to.
Speaker 1: Corey's obsessed with Osayo bowls, like bowls, they're so every day.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this shame given you a discount because you're there.
Speaker 1: Every dash is so good. I love it, I love
Speaker 1: it is. It's great. So we have a great community
Speaker 1: in Brentwood, you know. I mean if you think about
Speaker 1: we have all the health and wellness, but then you
Speaker 1: can always go next on and get your doughnut if
Speaker 1: you want to. There's even especially donut, and there's where
Speaker 1: the balance comes in. That's right, That's right. Yeah, Well, Meredith,

Speaker 1: floating and just like get more in tune with myself
Speaker 1: through that. So I appreciate you starting these businesses here
Speaker 1: and thank you for coming on and sharing your journey.
Speaker 1: I always end with one question, which is leave your light,
Speaker 1: and it's basically, what do you want people to know?
Speaker 1: It's very open ended about the business. Whatever comes to mind,
Speaker 1: what do you want people to know? It can be anywhere.
Speaker 1: There's no rules for this question. It's whatever I'm putting. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess I would say, put you first, because you
Speaker 1: can't take care of everybody behind you or around you
Speaker 1: until you take care of your number one. You know, yes,
Speaker 1: you know. And it's not in a selfish way. It's
Speaker 1: in a way that you know if you need to reset,
Speaker 1: walk out of the room, if you need to, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, take care first so you can show up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you'll show up for everybody else. I love
Speaker 1: that words your mother. Thank you so much, Meredith. While
