Speaker 1: myth is in the What up girl? What's up? How
Speaker 1: are you? I was just telling you, and I mean
Speaker 1: this from the bottom of my heart. You have to
Speaker 1: be one of the most beautiful people that has ever
Speaker 1: walked the face of theory. You're just like a flawless
Speaker 1: looking human. No, I have flaws trussed me. I don't
Speaker 1: see them. Okay, they're not visible to the naked. For
Speaker 1: you let's send them. Okay, I need to see it
Speaker 1: to believe it, because you are so stunning, but not
Speaker 1: just on the outside, on the inside too, which is
Speaker 1: really what makes you dynamite because you have this you
Speaker 1: have you had the courage and the ability to follow
Speaker 1: a dream, and I think that is something that is
Speaker 1: so difficult to do, especially even sometimes for women. You know,
Speaker 1: and not to be this it's harder to be a woman.
Speaker 1: But you launched a company in a huge, thriving city
Speaker 1: of Nashville, and you did it all by yourself, and
Speaker 1: it's called Vibe Chefs, And I just want to talk
Speaker 1: about how you got inspired to do that, what led
Speaker 1: you to caring so much about health and to wanting
Speaker 1: to make that your business to help other people have
Speaker 1: an easy access to health because your slogan is good food,
Speaker 1: good vibes, our food tailor nutrition and custom cooking for
Speaker 1: those who can't, won't, or don't want to do it
Speaker 1: for themselves. So tell me where this vision came from. Um,
Speaker 1: to be totally honest, this wasn't my dream, Like, what
Speaker 1: was your dream? What brought you to Nashville? Well, I
Speaker 1: actually I moved to Nashville about eight or nine years ago,
Speaker 1: now directly immediately following my college graduation. I wanted to
Speaker 1: work in the music business in any capacity. You just
Speaker 1: wanted to work in the music business. I like, I
Speaker 1: didn't even know what that meant. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I can either be a singer, I can work at
Speaker 1: the radio. So you're saying, also, don't but I was like,
Speaker 1: those are the two options in the country music That's
Speaker 1: what I thought. Because I as naive, I googled Nashville
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I guess this is where
Speaker 1: country music happens. I like country music. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do with my life. So how did you decide
Speaker 1: that you like country music so much? Do you love
Speaker 1: country music? I did? And I grew up all over
Speaker 1: but mostly in California, UM, where country music is not
Speaker 1: really super happening, or it wasn't at least back then. UM,
Speaker 1: But it was just my thing. I was really into it.
Speaker 1: Um My parents were both from Georgia, and so I
Speaker 1: was raised kind of in that southern mentality, and that
Speaker 1: was just something that was always really close to my heart.
Speaker 1: Like I had this connection to it where I felt
Speaker 1: like that was like, so you're calling you yeah, and
Speaker 1: so I was like, if I could have a job
Speaker 1: in that, like that would be tight. So I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna do that. So I just moved out
Speaker 1: here after college, so just off of a love in
Speaker 1: your heart for it. Yeah, and I I but with
Speaker 1: no idea what you were going to do. I didn't
Speaker 1: know one person, didn't have any leads anything did you
Speaker 1: do when you got here? I knew a friend of
Speaker 1: a friend of a friend who put me in touch
Speaker 1: with somebody who was going to get me a job.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, totally it's gonna work out right,
Speaker 1: you just believed't work. I was like, okay, So I
Speaker 1: drove out here and I just went for it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's just that's my life. I'm just like, okay,
Speaker 1: this sounds good. Um. So I actually I came out
Speaker 1: here and stayed in a hotel. I booked like one
Speaker 1: night at the Extended Day in Brentwood because for sure
Speaker 1: I was going to meet this person they were gonna
Speaker 1: give me a job. But yeah, so I kept booking
Speaker 1: like night after night after night, and um, this lady
Speaker 1: that I was supposed to meet kept putting me off,
Speaker 1: and I was like okay, So after seven days, I
Speaker 1: was like, this is stupid. What am I doing? I
Speaker 1: need to leave. So I like packed up my stuff
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm leaving in the morning. I
Speaker 1: gotta call that night that said, hey, can you come
Speaker 1: to this event tomorrow night and meet me and we'll
Speaker 1: chat real quick. Be So this girl who was going
Speaker 1: to give you the job finally called yeah, and so
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, yeah, I'll stick around whatever. And
Speaker 1: at this point I'm like, well, I'm not counting on anything.
Speaker 1: But so she gives me the address and she's like,
Speaker 1: where's something nice? And I was like okay. And so
Speaker 1: I get there and it's, um, like the People magazine
Speaker 1: launched party for Miranda Lambert at the Hutton Hotel. It's
Speaker 1: like some big pankie event. I was like, what, like okay, um?
Speaker 1: So I I went and talked to her for like,
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen minutes and she liked me, I guess.
Speaker 1: And so then the next day she calls me and
Speaker 1: she's like, so you know she was the CEO of
Speaker 1: c M A and how did she get linked up
Speaker 1: with her to begin with? Like some super random connection
Speaker 1: of like a friend of like in contact with her
Speaker 1: and you just reached out to her, and then and
Speaker 1: then she reached out to her, and she ended up
Speaker 1: being the CEO of the Country Music Association, and she
Speaker 1: was like, can you come on board and help me
Speaker 1: be my assistant? And then also, um, I just got
Speaker 1: a divorce, so can you help me with my kids?
Speaker 1: And also we have a third level in our house.
Speaker 1: You could live there like everything that I needed with
Speaker 1: like a job, of place to live, like all of
Speaker 1: the stuff. Are you kidding now? And so that was
Speaker 1: like my first whoa, whoa whoa Okay, And to me,
Speaker 1: those are the moments, those are some of the defining
Speaker 1: moments in life where it's almost like God, the higher
Speaker 1: force is like, I'm gonna give you a break, so
Speaker 1: you know that you're on the right track, so you
Speaker 1: know that you're not going to throw in the town
Speaker 1: and give up. Do you feel that way? I do now,
Speaker 1: But I didn't then. What did you feel? Then? I
Speaker 1: was just like, cool, that was lucky. Like at that
Speaker 1: point I knew when I super lucky when I had
Speaker 1: dream right, yeah it was, and I was stoked, Like
Speaker 1: I was so pumped. I was like this is awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean, I to be honest, learned way too much,
Speaker 1: way too fast about the dirty inside of the industry
Speaker 1: that most people do. She's running a huge yeah yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, did you see this was
Speaker 1: a fact track of learning. I mean, oh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: just like the politics of it, the inside of it.
Speaker 1: And I also got a really good perspective of like
Speaker 1: just the layout of it. Like I really quickly understood
Speaker 1: how the labels and the publishers and the p r
Speaker 1: os and like all the aspects of it like functioned together.
Speaker 1: Because CMA is kind of like this thing that's affiliated
Speaker 1: with all of them, and all of her board members
Speaker 1: were the heads of all of these other entities, and
Speaker 1: so I got to create relationships with each of them
Speaker 1: when I would start to email them or whatever for
Speaker 1: her on her behalf, and um, I mean, and some
Speaker 1: of those relationships, like honestly, um, like they helped me.
Speaker 1: I got interviews, I got mentored by some of these people,
Speaker 1: and I still like connect with some of them. Um.
Speaker 1: And I so I do feel like very blessed and
Speaker 1: lucky to have had that opportunity. How did you live
Speaker 1: there live with her? I don't even remember at this point,
Speaker 1: maybe a year or so until I got my own
Speaker 1: apartment and that's amazing. Yeah, so it was awesome. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, at that point, like I felt in my
Speaker 1: heart that Nashville was where I was supposed to be.
Speaker 1: But I didn't have like the relationship with God that
Speaker 1: I do now that that like, now looking back, I
Speaker 1: see how much like he worked in that. But then
Speaker 1: I was just young and you know, like all about me.
Speaker 1: You know, how did you start developing this relationship with God? Um?
Speaker 1: I go, I really I pursued it through what made
Speaker 1: you want to pursue it? Um? I went to a
Speaker 1: church called The Belonging Here and it's fantastic. It's very
Speaker 1: much like Spirit Lead. It's nothing like any church I've
Speaker 1: ever been to. The pastor. Churches are scary. They make
Speaker 1: you feel like you're gonna rotten hell if you do
Speaker 1: anything wrong. And I feel like that's kind of turn
Speaker 1: it's not religion sometimes. Yeah, it's definitely not like that
Speaker 1: at all. Like I mean, our pastors up there in
Speaker 1: like a flatbill hat like preaching like they're so cool,
Speaker 1: they're so normal. It's like sitting in your living room
Speaker 1: with anybody like that, you know, and then like Holy Spirit,
Speaker 1: and I mean it is like it is kind of intense,
Speaker 1: and at first I remember being super overwhelmed. I was
Speaker 1: like about to have a panic attack at the back door,
Speaker 1: like I can't handle this. But then once you get
Speaker 1: into it, it was just because you're feeling things or
Speaker 1: because it was just too in the presence of God,
Speaker 1: there is like super real. It's like you actually felt that.
Speaker 1: You went in kind of not feeling anything other than
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, so curious about it because I was
Speaker 1: interested and I was dating the guy at the time
Speaker 1: who was um who knew a lot more about that,
Speaker 1: and so I was like okay. And so then when
Speaker 1: I when I went there, I saw this and I
Speaker 1: saw what people were experiencing, and I was just it
Speaker 1: wasn't just like a crock of Yeah, it was real,
Speaker 1: but it seemed to me like from the outside. Now
Speaker 1: when I bring people there, when I bring friends there,
Speaker 1: I'm always like, okay, like don't freaked out, don't get
Speaker 1: turned off, Like it's just so fun and real and cool,
Speaker 1: and it's just like it's like a party honestly, but
Speaker 1: it's really it's really great, Like it's changed my life.
Speaker 1: How has that changed your life? Because I know too.
Speaker 1: When you Earlier in your career, you were on a
Speaker 1: TV show wild Heart Goosh, we have to know we
Speaker 1: don't have to talk about that. But you've pursued a
Speaker 1: lot of different things before, a lot of things. Tell
Speaker 1: me some of the the things you did before you got
Speaker 1: to your calling and how God got you to this calling. Um,
Speaker 1: so I I after c m A, I went through UM,
Speaker 1: I worked at another like startup music video network. Um
Speaker 1: that ended badly then I like the owner got indicted
Speaker 1: for fraud. We all got like really screwed. And Um
Speaker 1: what did you learn during that? What do you think
Speaker 1: the point of that was for you to learn? I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess I've stopped at this point.
Speaker 1: I've stopped questioning, like what was the purpose of that?
Speaker 1: Because I just trust that God's going to work everything
Speaker 1: together for good And like sometimes if you love that,
Speaker 1: if you get off the path, like that's fine. Like, like,
Speaker 1: how do you know when you're on the right path?
Speaker 1: What do you what does it feel like when you're
Speaker 1: on the right path as opposed to when you're on
Speaker 1: the wrong path. Is there is there a different feeling?
Speaker 1: Can you tell now or is it easier for you
Speaker 1: to identified now? I're like, Okay, I'm on the right
Speaker 1: road as opposed to I mean, I don't even know
Speaker 1: if it's so much path because I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think life, like time is linear, and but I don't
Speaker 1: think that like you necessarily have this trajectory that's course
Speaker 1: that you're like predestined and you need to follow it.
Speaker 1: I think that like life is just a series of going,
Speaker 1: like just doing things, and like inevitably you'll end up
Speaker 1: where you're supposed to end up. And like if you
Speaker 1: if you, I don't know. I just God redeems things,
Speaker 1: you do everything, so if you mess up, like he'll
Speaker 1: redeem it and work it together and get you back
Speaker 1: where you need to be. So I think it's more
Speaker 1: about just like I love that you're just trusting. I
Speaker 1: love that you're not trying to analyze it. I have
Speaker 1: a bad habit of trying to figure out the meaning
Speaker 1: for everything. I'm like, why did I go through that?
Speaker 1: There has to be some greater meaning what I'm sure
Speaker 1: there is. But also you're right, it just gives you
Speaker 1: to the next because you do, I mean, you learn things,
Speaker 1: you learn about yourself, you learn about experiences like just
Speaker 1: in like or love and relationships. You know, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: why did I go through that chapter with this person,
Speaker 1: because now you get past you like I should have
Speaker 1: never been with that. But like I said this the
Speaker 1: other day, that like the heart that you have now
Speaker 1: is is the culmination and the combination of every experience
Speaker 1: your heart has ever gone through, and so great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you you just aren't who you are without going
Speaker 1: through all those things. I totally agree, And I feel
Speaker 1: like it's so weird to say, because I think I
Speaker 1: would never want anyone to suffer, including myself or anyone,
Speaker 1: but those moments of suffering have been the greatest defining
Speaker 1: moments of my personal life, and a lot of people
Speaker 1: I interview feel that same way, that going surviving a
Speaker 1: moment that was so painful actually gives you an insight
Speaker 1: and awareness you could never have gotten otherwise. Absolutely. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: so tell me how you your road led you, or
Speaker 1: your your journey led you to one day being like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you did all these jobs. You obviously have a face
Speaker 1: to be on camera. You could be on camera if
Speaker 1: you wanted to be in a million different ways, but
Speaker 1: you decided, Okay, I'm focusing on health, and this is
Speaker 1: what I want to do with my life and then Okay,
Speaker 1: let me create this amazing company. How did that moment happen? Um,
Speaker 1: there was no moment, And that I think is like
Speaker 1: what is different. I hear a lot of people that
Speaker 1: have had this dream or like they've known all along
Speaker 1: that they want to be an artist, or they want
Speaker 1: to go on tour, they want to do whatever they
Speaker 1: want to do and they've always known it, or like
Speaker 1: they've this epiphany where they're like, this is what I'm
Speaker 1: supposed to do. And for me, there was no moment.
Speaker 1: There wasn't no I And to be honest, I don't
Speaker 1: know that there still is. I don't. I don't want
Speaker 1: to run a company. Dude, it's hard, but you're dying it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I wasn't like, oh I can't wait to run
Speaker 1: my own company. No, Like I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: it just happened. Yeah, Like I I it just sort
Speaker 1: of fell into my lap. Like I I've always loved
Speaker 1: health and nutrition, Like I think that that's super important.
Speaker 1: I think that we should take care of the bodies
Speaker 1: were given and respect that. But and I believe there's
Speaker 1: like a place for that. But for me, where this
Speaker 1: came from was. I just started kind of doing it
Speaker 1: on the side, and then it it grew organically by
Speaker 1: word of mouth. And I mean to this day, I've
Speaker 1: I've never even really marketed it. Um where you just
Speaker 1: catering for people or what did you start doing on this? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So I started just working with this one family that
Speaker 1: they asked me to come over and organize their pantry
Speaker 1: and help coach them on like they wanted to adopt
Speaker 1: a paleol style and get their kids eating healthier food.
Speaker 1: So they're like, can you just help us shop for
Speaker 1: these things and help us like figure out what we
Speaker 1: need to keep in the house, how to work this
Speaker 1: into our life. And I was like, sure, that sounds fun.
Speaker 1: So um. So I did that and she's like, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, we really wanted someone to cook for us.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh no, no, no, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know how to cook, like I cook for myself,
Speaker 1: but I've never done that before. And she was like, well,
Speaker 1: let's just try it, and I said okay. So we
Speaker 1: tried it and she loved it and I loved it
Speaker 1: and I had a blast doing it. She would send
Speaker 1: me recipes that she found on Pinterest or something, and
Speaker 1: I would go to the store and get all the
Speaker 1: groceries and stuff, and then I go to the house
Speaker 1: and cook everything and like leave it for them and
Speaker 1: label it, you know. And they'd come home from work
Speaker 1: both the meals, and they all just worked super long hours,
Speaker 1: so they were relying on take out a lot. They were,
Speaker 1: you know, just throwing things together, and uh so this
Speaker 1: allowed them to have like a home cooked meal. So
Speaker 1: when so I started to just mention that was something
Speaker 1: I was doing as a hobby, and um, I had
Speaker 1: friends say, Oh, I know someone else who would love that.
Speaker 1: Would you want to do it for someone else too?
Speaker 1: And I was like, sure, I guess so I did,
Speaker 1: and then she told people and it just kind of
Speaker 1: grew to the point that I had to quit anything
Speaker 1: else I had going on, like working at restaurant jobs
Speaker 1: or whatever else I was doing on the side while
Speaker 1: I was waiting for something to happen in my life. Um,
Speaker 1: and then it got to the point where I was
Speaker 1: full and I had to like hire someone else to
Speaker 1: help me. And so many people need this, and truly
Speaker 1: I'm someone who needs this. It's like to have great
Speaker 1: food that tastes good, that's at your house. So you
Speaker 1: make good decisions, and that is an amazing Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean there's so many reasons that it's helpful to people.
Speaker 1: Like we work a lot with people that have UM
Speaker 1: autoimmune diseases, are A A, or thyroid disorders or UM
Speaker 1: diabetes or just things like health problems or health concerns
Speaker 1: that are really benefited by the food they eat. And
Speaker 1: I've had clients that have never tried to adjust their
Speaker 1: diet and have found like that it's helped immensely when
Speaker 1: they eliminate foods that are inflammatory or foods that are
Speaker 1: UM exacerbating their condition in ways that they didn't even
Speaker 1: connect that too. Like really, what you put in your
Speaker 1: body is everything, Like it manifests itself in every single
Speaker 1: way of your mind, your body, like everything. And so
Speaker 1: how did you get passionate about this and learning about this?
Speaker 1: It's just something that I've studied for a long time
Speaker 1: and I've been interested in it for probably ten years
Speaker 1: or so. And I'm like kind of a nerd, Like
Speaker 1: I'm super nerdy at heart, Like I nerd out on
Speaker 1: the science of it, and like I love UM like
Speaker 1: food as therapy, food as medicine like things like that. UM.
Speaker 1: So I read like scholarly articles and stuff like super Dork.
Speaker 1: I love them. So I love to just research it.
Speaker 1: I love to like read new articles and new studies
Speaker 1: and stuff on things are finding. Um, so your business
Speaker 1: just started growing. Yeah, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're getting celebrities because then now you do like Kelsey
Speaker 1: Ballerini and you do. I don't know if you can
Speaker 1: tell everyone you do, but I you do all these
Speaker 1: incredible people and you like provide them road meals. Huh yeah.
Speaker 1: So um, and that for me came um honestly, Kelsey.
Speaker 1: Kelsey won't mind that I talked about her, but some
Speaker 1: of them do, some of them don't want to disclose it,
Speaker 1: and some of them don't care. But um, Kelsey, she
Speaker 1: used to live in my building and so we kind
Speaker 1: of got to know each other. And she this was
Speaker 1: when she was just getting her start. She was just
Speaker 1: doing her big like first album push, and I kind
Speaker 1: of saw the way that she was just really I
Speaker 1: mean just a lot. It's really taxing, and like she
Speaker 1: is the most hard working, like precious, like I just
Speaker 1: adore her everything about her, and but it was like
Speaker 1: she was constantly on the road and she was never
Speaker 1: getting a chance to reset, and she was writing, and
Speaker 1: she was I mean, she was a hard worker and
Speaker 1: so she would go out on the road all the
Speaker 1: time and then she'd come home for like two days
Speaker 1: and then she'd be back out and it was like
Speaker 1: during those two days, you know, she lives in this
Speaker 1: apartment by herself, and she has an defridge, and like,
Speaker 1: the last thing you want to do when you get
Speaker 1: home off the road is go to the grocery store
Speaker 1: worried about what am I going to make, or like
Speaker 1: go eat take out again, because that's what you've been
Speaker 1: eating on the road. And so for for me, it
Speaker 1: was like where my heart was, and that was giving
Speaker 1: them a chance to give these artists a chance to
Speaker 1: like reset and have that sense of home when they
Speaker 1: come home and just like be able to feel nourished
Speaker 1: by something, because there is an element of home cooking
Speaker 1: that really is like it's not a tangible thing, but
Speaker 1: there's a comfort and that that I think is really
Speaker 1: nourishing to your spirit when you're doing something that can
Speaker 1: be so depleting, like constantly being on the road, or
Speaker 1: constantly eating waffle House or constantly just like burning out
Speaker 1: on life. Um and do all sorts of plans for people.
Speaker 1: What are the different options you could supply people with food.
Speaker 1: We are super custom so we're not like most meal
Speaker 1: prep companies where they have like, oh, here's your paleo
Speaker 1: plan or here's this. So we kind of sit down.
Speaker 1: I sit down with everybody UM in the beginning, and
Speaker 1: we do a new client console and go over all
Speaker 1: of their nutritional goals like what kind of issues they're having,
Speaker 1: things they want to work on, things they want to improve,
Speaker 1: if they want to lose weight, if they want to
Speaker 1: you know, have more energy, or whatever their goal is, UM,
Speaker 1: and then we work with them to figure out like
Speaker 1: what types of foods would best benefit their body and
Speaker 1: their health. Because I think everybody is different. I don't
Speaker 1: I will never say like paleo is best, vegan is best,
Speaker 1: whatever is best. Like I've been all of them, I've
Speaker 1: tried all of them, and I don't think that there
Speaker 1: is any one thing that works specifically for everybody. So
Speaker 1: it's different. So you customize it person, Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: might not. It might be hybrid. It might be like
Speaker 1: half vegetarian half paleo, like or you know, certain things
Speaker 1: that apply to one diet type and certain things that
Speaker 1: that that conflict with that, but this person does better
Speaker 1: on those specific things. I love that. So you like
Speaker 1: break it down and you have to know what the
Speaker 1: person's goals are, what everything going on with their body is.
Speaker 1: I bet your results are crazy. Yeah, we've had some
Speaker 1: really great, great results, and um, that makes me super happy.
Speaker 1: Like when I hear a client come and say like
Speaker 1: I can get through my shows like so much better now,
Speaker 1: or like I my I had I only had to
Speaker 1: use one shot of insulin when I used to use fourteen,
Speaker 1: or like that, or things like I've lost thirty pounds
Speaker 1: since I started with you that I couldn't get off
Speaker 1: for ten years, or just things like that. Just when
Speaker 1: I see and it's not about like weight loss or
Speaker 1: it's not about numbers or or insulin or anything like that,
Speaker 1: feeling about like when I see their confidence, like and
Speaker 1: I see or like I'll have an artist that was
Speaker 1: like I haven't had a stomach ache in like three
Speaker 1: weeks and I used to get them every day and
Speaker 1: we started had started her three weeks ago, and um,
Speaker 1: and she was just like I can't believe how much
Speaker 1: better I feel, and like she's like my skin is
Speaker 1: cleared up, changing all these things. Yeah, and just but
Speaker 1: I saw the way she was like beaming about it,
Speaker 1: and she was like going out there feeling so confident
Speaker 1: and just that's like what makes my heart happy? Or like,
Speaker 1: you know, so what do you when you send an
Speaker 1: artist with food on the road, What does that look like?
Speaker 1: Is it like a casserole? Is it like individual meals
Speaker 1: per meal per day? It totally depends. Usually when we
Speaker 1: do road food, so we'll do road food or home food.
Speaker 1: Some artists like food for when they come home and
Speaker 1: they get off the bus. Some artists want food to
Speaker 1: take with them because their trainers out with them and
Speaker 1: they need forty card boiled eggs and stuff. So it's
Speaker 1: really it just depends. Like some of them want very
Speaker 1: specific things and some of them are just like I
Speaker 1: just need a good, healthy, nourishing meal that I know
Speaker 1: is there, so I'm not eating like a handful of
Speaker 1: almonds or you know, bust food late at night or
Speaker 1: yeah two a m when your only option is that
Speaker 1: so um, So, it just totally depends on what people want.
Speaker 1: And a lot of times for the bus we do
Speaker 1: like individual individually package them so that they're easy to
Speaker 1: just grab and go and they fit better in the
Speaker 1: little bus fridges. Um. And then for home food it
Speaker 1: also we usually those are usually bigger, like more not
Speaker 1: an individually portioned out kind of thing. But if a
Speaker 1: client needs something individually portioned out, will individually portion it out.
Speaker 1: It's just, um, we kind of it's more like, I
Speaker 1: guess you have your own personal chef, so it's not
Speaker 1: so much like we're a company that that. I guess.
Speaker 1: We foster relationships between chefs and clients, so you get
Speaker 1: your own personal chef assigned to you, and everybody on
Speaker 1: our staff has like they're set clientele. You have six chefs. Uh, No,
Speaker 1: I don't cook. You don't cook. You're right, you're like,
Speaker 1: I gotta run this business. No, I used to cook
Speaker 1: all the time. I used to cook, like, oh man,
Speaker 1: there was a time I was just cooking like hours
Speaker 1: and hours and hours a day, um, and it was crazy.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't cook anymore. It got to be
Speaker 1: too much with just the business. And also I'm not
Speaker 1: very good at it, so I'm sure you're great at it.
Speaker 1: They're my girls are much better than I am. At
Speaker 1: six you have six chefs, and so we get a
Speaker 1: new client, you signed them to their own chef. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the client gets their own chef and there that's
Speaker 1: basically like just their food person and whether they want
Speaker 1: like breakfast, lunch, dinner, just dinner is just breakfast, just
Speaker 1: to grab and go things if they want they have
Speaker 1: company coming in and they need extra food this week,
Speaker 1: or they're going out of town and they only dread
Speaker 1: and things like that, you need to pick up lacroix
Speaker 1: at the grocery store, like whatever, so that you have
Speaker 1: to worry about going to the store, what are you
Speaker 1: going to have for dinner? That is such a relief
Speaker 1: to take off of people who are not good at
Speaker 1: cooking or kind of busy stress five well by all
Speaker 1: these groceries and then they go to waste because then
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I have to cook them. I don't
Speaker 1: want to. And then you know or like oh, I'm
Speaker 1: starving and I got off work late, and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna stop and get something because I don't have time.
Speaker 1: But if you have like that healthy meal sitting in
Speaker 1: your fridge ready to go, and you just go home
Speaker 1: and warm it up, it's like it's done. It's way
Speaker 1: easier to stay on track, it's way easier to work
Speaker 1: and the food tastes good. Yeah, hopefully no. I mean
Speaker 1: I'm sure that the pictures are amazing. Five chefs five
Speaker 1: chefs dot com. Tell me what is it like starting
Speaker 1: in business? Um? And how much do you have to
Speaker 1: give of yourself to get this thing off the ground
Speaker 1: Because everyone's like, oh, we're kind of talking earlier. It's
Speaker 1: easy for someone to maybe look at someone like you
Speaker 1: and you're beautiful, you have this great business happening. It
Speaker 1: feels like your life is a dream. But really there
Speaker 1: is a lot that you had to do to make
Speaker 1: this become a reality. Yeah, And honestly, I don't even
Speaker 1: want to take credit for it because I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel like this was such a God thing, Like
Speaker 1: God really just like put this on my lap and
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, do you responded to it? You took,
Speaker 1: you took the gift and you did, and it just
Speaker 1: kind of happened one day at a time. But the
Speaker 1: reason I say that it was really a God thing
Speaker 1: is because it's never been like premeditated. I didn't have
Speaker 1: this trajectory in my mind like all right, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go from A to B and then like this is
Speaker 1: how we're going to build a business. I didn't have
Speaker 1: some plan, Like I feel like there's been a lot
Speaker 1: of favor on this from day one and that I
Speaker 1: just kind of have been rolling with it, and like
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to do anything. I mean I
Speaker 1: have had to like like I didn't even know how
Speaker 1: to cook, dude. I was just like, Okay, let me
Speaker 1: figure that out there. People be like, oh, can you
Speaker 1: do this? Yeah? Absolutely, And I'm like, figure out how
Speaker 1: to do that out read puck like I don't. I
Speaker 1: just people are like, did you got to culinary school?
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, And I'm just like, no, I went
Speaker 1: to the school of fake it till you make it,
Speaker 1: And like that's what I've been doing and you're passionate
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, I love it, Like I love love
Speaker 1: love that I get to help people and nourish people,
Speaker 1: Like I'm a giver, Like that's one of my love
Speaker 1: languages is like gifts and acts of service, Like I
Speaker 1: love that. So the fact that I get to do
Speaker 1: that as my job every day is really fulfilling for me,
Speaker 1: which is a really great gift. And I think that, um,
Speaker 1: it just it wasn't mine. It wasn't my plan, It
Speaker 1: wasn't my um dream, But I do believe there's like
Speaker 1: a higher purpose on it. And I think that whatever
Speaker 1: you do, when you do something that glorifies God, like
Speaker 1: you have favor on that I and so I just
Speaker 1: feel like I've been really blessed too to have that,
Speaker 1: and that it's been something that has given me the
Speaker 1: opportunity to take care of myself and take care of
Speaker 1: others and just help people have a little bit more
Speaker 1: joy and a little bit more love and a little
Speaker 1: bit more food. I love that was there ever a
Speaker 1: part in the process. I know you said you didn't
Speaker 1: premeditate your planet where you're like this is too hard,
Speaker 1: I can't do this anymore, Like God, thank you for
Speaker 1: this opportunity, but like this is exhausting, I can't handle it.
Speaker 1: I mean there were definitely a lot of times, I
Speaker 1: mean after the first year or so, I like crashed,
Speaker 1: I hit a wall where I I mean I had
Speaker 1: trouble even getting out of bed, and you just gave
Speaker 1: all your energy beyond exhausted and depleted like mentally physically.
Speaker 1: And what's interesting, I think is when you start turning
Speaker 1: to business like it's your baby, you know, like I was,
Speaker 1: I did love it, and I was passionate about it,
Speaker 1: and so a lot of times it doesn't feel like work. Um,
Speaker 1: you can you can work all the time. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's what I did. Yeah, that's what I do. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But it's also like, um, it's really hard to it.
Speaker 1: Just it happens so little by little that all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you look back and like you know, your
Speaker 1: stress levels or your mental capacity that's being used, like
Speaker 1: all these things inch up so subtly, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're like operating at this at this
Speaker 1: level where it's not sustainable and it's really depleting your
Speaker 1: energy levels and your mental energy, just everything. And it
Speaker 1: almost happened so quickly that you don't recognize it. And
Speaker 1: I think that's what happened with me. And I hit
Speaker 1: this place where I didn't even realize why. And I
Speaker 1: remember talking to like my doctor and she was like,
Speaker 1: do you even realize how much stress you're under? And
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not stressed. That stress It on
Speaker 1: your mind is raising like a million miles a minute,
Speaker 1: and just so much in your head all the time,
Speaker 1: and you're juggling so many plates. Is that no pun intended?
Speaker 1: Because you're juggling so much and so you're not feeling
Speaker 1: stressed and I think, um, you know, bringing on like
Speaker 1: a staff was great, but there is a lot of
Speaker 1: that time. Is that transition where you are filling both
Speaker 1: rules because it's too soon to step back from your
Speaker 1: own tasks and too early to delegate those tasks to
Speaker 1: everybody else. You have to do both. Yeah, Um, how
Speaker 1: long did you do both? How long does that last?
Speaker 1: I think it's different for for everything. For me, it was,
Speaker 1: I mean there it was several months of doing that
Speaker 1: consistently to build up and even now, I mean, it
Speaker 1: still happens, but it's better overall now because I have that.
Speaker 1: But with every new person you bring on, like that's
Speaker 1: more responsibility and more concerned that I have because I
Speaker 1: want to make sure that they have what they need
Speaker 1: and they're getting the hours they need. And it's more
Speaker 1: liability and it's more you know, there's there's more help,
Speaker 1: for sure, but there's more like responsibility. Yeah. So it's
Speaker 1: it's more on my plate, but it's less on my plate,
Speaker 1: you know. So what did you do and how did
Speaker 1: you know you hit the crash? What did the crash
Speaker 1: feel like? Was there a moment where like, Okay, I'm crashing.
Speaker 1: I need to readjust and how did you readjust? What
Speaker 1: did you do to take care of yourself? Um? I
Speaker 1: had to learn to say no, that's hard, isn't it?
Speaker 1: And I had to learn, um, I had to learn
Speaker 1: to to not stress so much. Like it it's really
Speaker 1: it sounds weird and it's definitely easier said than done.
Speaker 1: But people would say that to me all the time,
Speaker 1: like we just don't stress, we just don't stress. And
Speaker 1: I was like, you don't understand. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't, Like what are you talking about? But you
Speaker 1: really have to just like like little things that I
Speaker 1: would feel that like bubbling of like Okay, I'm getting
Speaker 1: stressed out about this. I'd have to play like worst
Speaker 1: case scenario game basically, so like what's what's the worst
Speaker 1: case scenario? Like I just really left up that cast role,
Speaker 1: so what can I do? I'd be like, first of all,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Holy Spirit, can you fix that cast role?
Speaker 1: And no, I'm not getting like nine times out of ten,
Speaker 1: I get a text and I get a text from
Speaker 1: the client and I'd be like, oh gosh, like they're
Speaker 1: going to be like this wasn't good. Whatever, And every
Speaker 1: time I think I ruined something. I like, people are
Speaker 1: like this is so good, and I'm like, what do
Speaker 1: you call on the Holy Spirit? Yeah, how do you
Speaker 1: call on him into your everyday Holy Spirit? I just
Speaker 1: jack that up? Can you please fix it? And he
Speaker 1: does and be like oh yeah, even when it's done,
Speaker 1: and like you send it on to put stuff in
Speaker 1: the fridge before and been like this is terrible, and
Speaker 1: like sure enough, I'll get a text from the client
Speaker 1: like that was so good, and I'm like okay. But
Speaker 1: then inevitably, like I think I nail something, I'm like
Speaker 1: that was freaking insanely good blah blah blah, and the
Speaker 1: clients I'm not really like that, don't make it again.
Speaker 1: And I'm like okay, so, I mean it's just hit
Speaker 1: or miss, but um, yeah, it was a question, so
Speaker 1: what did you hit that crash? And you had to
Speaker 1: say you had to tell yourself to not stress the
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, worst case scenario, like okay, worst case scenario,
Speaker 1: they hate the food, and then I lose the client
Speaker 1: and then like okay, fine, like I mean or whatever
Speaker 1: or worst case you're going to run it through, like yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not like nothing is like really that important, and
Speaker 1: because I think the way that I really learned to
Speaker 1: not internalize all that stress was by realizing that this
Speaker 1: isn't my own. It's God's and He's going to take
Speaker 1: care of it. And it's not like I have no
Speaker 1: sense of like I feel responsibility for it, and I
Speaker 1: feel like love for an ownership in anyone. Don't feel
Speaker 1: possessive over it like clients, chefs, like anything, like the
Speaker 1: money like nothing. I don't feel like any of it
Speaker 1: is mine, And so that helps me really not stress
Speaker 1: about it. Like if I have a really bad month
Speaker 1: and we lose a bunch of clients, like that's okay.
Speaker 1: It's not mine to lose, and it's not mine to win.
Speaker 1: If we do really well, like that's great and I'm happy,
Speaker 1: but it's not like it's just I don't feel a
Speaker 1: sense of possession over any of it because I feel
Speaker 1: like it all belongs to God in the end anyway.
Speaker 1: And so I just want to be obedient and do
Speaker 1: what I can do to continue to glorify God through
Speaker 1: that help people. But whatever happens in the long run,
Speaker 1: Like I'm okay with that, April. Now, that's like taking
Speaker 1: that's lind faith, right, there. That's what that is a
Speaker 1: leap of faith, and that is such a deep faith.
Speaker 1: Did you so you developed that deep faith? Have you
Speaker 1: experienced miracles in your life? Like what made what makes
Speaker 1: you have that faith that's so real? Have you seen it?
Speaker 1: You've felt it? Yeah? I mean I don't know. I
Speaker 1: just I have a relationship now with God that's just
Speaker 1: like super peaceful, and I feel very different now than
Speaker 1: I did when I was younger, like ever in my life.
Speaker 1: I just do feel like I just have a general
Speaker 1: peace about things and that all of this is it's temporal.
Speaker 1: It's temporal, and it's temporary and like it just I
Speaker 1: don't I don't really have the words to articulate it
Speaker 1: because I just think that it's more complicated but also
Speaker 1: more simple. And I think that's like forever the struggle
Speaker 1: of people that like get that, that like have that
Speaker 1: kind of faith and trying to like communicate that in
Speaker 1: a way that makes sense, because I don't think it's
Speaker 1: something that's really very communicable between like human to human,
Speaker 1: because it's more like spirit to spirit and you have
Speaker 1: to like kind of tap into that and feel that
Speaker 1: and then like you could tell like your spirit will
Speaker 1: feel it from my spirit and then your spirit will
Speaker 1: convey it to your mind and feeling. Yeah, I feel it.
Speaker 1: I feel it. I've heard it. I've seen it, like
Speaker 1: I've seen what's the miracle you've seen. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: seen things happen like within my church and stuff. I've
Speaker 1: seen people be cured of like cancer of tumors, leukemia,
Speaker 1: like chronic illness that has been present for their entire lives.
Speaker 1: And things have been just like cured like so I
Speaker 1: mean healings like things like that. Um. But also I
Speaker 1: mean I've I've heard, like you know, I've heard like
Speaker 1: God speak to me, Jesus speak to me, Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: And they all have like their own subtle little what
Speaker 1: do they say? What do they said? I mean, just
Speaker 1: is it a feeling or is it words? It's have
Speaker 1: been both. Like I've I've heard words. I've heard I've
Speaker 1: I've heard like, um, yeah, like sometimes it's just a
Speaker 1: clear wordtimes it's like answers. Oh yeah, like there was word. Okay.
Speaker 1: So this story, this, this is like one of my
Speaker 1: favorite stories. So one night I was at church and
Speaker 1: my pastor alex and um Mia, one of our worship leaders,
Speaker 1: she like spoke this word over me out of nowhere,
Speaker 1: just like kind of called me out in front of
Speaker 1: the entire like thing at the end of ceremation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I was up on the mic. She was leading
Speaker 1: worship and she stopped. It was like, April, I have
Speaker 1: a word for you. And I was like, she just
Speaker 1: got called to tell you. Yeah, yeah, and so she
Speaker 1: was like I was like, okay, So she tells me
Speaker 1: this thing, and she said, I feel like God wants
Speaker 1: you to know that you're in a season where he's
Speaker 1: building you up and that just like Esther, he's building
Speaker 1: you up and making you strong so that when and
Speaker 1: making you very brave on the inside, so that when
Speaker 1: you have the chance to speak, you'll be able to
Speaker 1: and she and that's what she said. And she's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: She said, should probably go home and read the Book
Speaker 1: of Esther. I no idea, That's just what I heard.
Speaker 1: And I was like okay, and so um So I
Speaker 1: went home and I read the Book of Esther like
Speaker 1: ten times and I was like, oh, she's pretty cool,
Speaker 1: Like she's my girl now, and so I just went
Speaker 1: with that and I was like that's cool, Like whatever,
Speaker 1: that means, I guess I'll find out and so then
Speaker 1: like a week later or I don't know, a month
Speaker 1: later or something. Um Alex our pastor was talking about, um,
Speaker 1: how we all have like a heavenly name that's or
Speaker 1: a spiritual name or something, and a true name basically
Speaker 1: that's not like our earthly name. And she's like, mine
Speaker 1: is faith and she was telling this story about it,
Speaker 1: and I was just I was listening to this podcast
Speaker 1: like in my car, and I was like oh, and
Speaker 1: I was like, cool, I wonder if I have a name.
Speaker 1: And so in my head I'm thinking like you know,
Speaker 1: love or joy or like something like that, right, And
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, so I was like, Jesus, what's
Speaker 1: my what's my real name? And all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: completely from over here, I heard the word star. I
Speaker 1: just like so strong and clear, like in your head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like And I was like, what like star Like it
Speaker 1: was so like stark and clear and like it was
Speaker 1: like it was yeah, yeah it was. It wasn't a voice,
Speaker 1: like an audible voice. It was like a not that
Speaker 1: you hear like in your head that I heard the
Speaker 1: word like star, and I was like whoa. And I
Speaker 1: was like, that's cool. So I went home and I
Speaker 1: looked it up and I was like, that's really pretty,
Speaker 1: Like I love it, Thanks Jesus, and so um so
Speaker 1: then I UM. A couple of weeks later, I had
Speaker 1: gone to a coffee with a friend from church and
Speaker 1: she was just talking to me about that, and I
Speaker 1: told her, Oh, I got to tell you the story
Speaker 1: about my names. I told her the star story and
Speaker 1: she's like, oh Star, She's like just like Esther And
Speaker 1: I said what do you mean? And she's like the
Speaker 1: meaning of esther is that makes me want to cry?
Speaker 1: How cool is that? She's like esther means star? And
Speaker 1: I was like, thank you God. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean it was just so special. Yeah. So I
Speaker 1: mean and just like I don't know things like that,
Speaker 1: like do you think that you experience these connections to
Speaker 1: God because you're open to when you're looking to them
Speaker 1: for them. Do you feel like everyone can have these experiences,
Speaker 1: just not everyone's as open to them? Yeah? For sure.
Speaker 1: I mean we're all created to be beings that like
Speaker 1: worship God, Like, we're all created the same. Like, what
Speaker 1: do you think the point of life is? Um to
Speaker 1: glorify God? Like I think we're here to just like
Speaker 1: glorify God and spread love and like whatever way that
Speaker 1: that manifests itself in your life is good, like, and
Speaker 1: I think there's multiple ways to do that. Like I
Speaker 1: think when you talk about how do you know if
Speaker 1: you're on the right or the wrong path, I don't
Speaker 1: necessarily think there is one. I think you can do
Speaker 1: like millions and millions of different things that will glorify
Speaker 1: God and if your heart is in the right place,
Speaker 1: like that's all that matters. It's so easy to get
Speaker 1: hung up on one path though, sometimes, especially when we
Speaker 1: get locked into a career, like this is my identity,
Speaker 1: this is who I am. Have you really separated from
Speaker 1: this is who I am? Like as a career based
Speaker 1: as like now you're like I am April Estra Star,
Speaker 1: I am my work is my work, but that's not
Speaker 1: my identity. Um, yeah, absolutely I And I never felt
Speaker 1: like it was my identity. I still don't. I don't
Speaker 1: feel like I'm like necessarily called to do that. And
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of people do, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people do think that they're like or
Speaker 1: do are they are? It's not like they just think it.
Speaker 1: I do think a lot of people are called to
Speaker 1: specific things. Um, for me, it wasn't like this was
Speaker 1: some like super strong dream of mine. Um that you're
Speaker 1: available in a vessel. Yeah, and so I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to be obedient and do that and whatever it turns into.
Speaker 1: Like if it blows up into a huge thing, that's great,
Speaker 1: and if it ends tomorrow, like I'm cool with that too. Um,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. And I just don't really feel like it's
Speaker 1: mine to like, it's not the purpose of what I'm
Speaker 1: doing is not for my benefit. It's not for my
Speaker 1: benefit or my glory. It's for his. So however that
Speaker 1: plays out, like, that's cool with me. I love that, April.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. I just was watching Joel Osten and Oprah.
Speaker 1: They were doing a life lesson session and they're joel
Speaker 1: Osten was saying, your big dream or your big point
Speaker 1: should be to benefit others and to show God to others,
Speaker 1: and that is what you're doing. Yeah, And that's what
Speaker 1: I feel like for me, I feel like my purpose
Speaker 1: on earth, Like what am I supposed to do is
Speaker 1: to like love people? Like I feel like, and I
Speaker 1: don't mean to say this to sound weird, but I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm really good at loving people and that
Speaker 1: I love to do it, and I feel like to
Speaker 1: love people like I mean, I like in every way,
Speaker 1: like I love to tell people, I love to show people.
Speaker 1: I love to give gifts. I love to Like you
Speaker 1: want to make people feel valuable, Yeah, I do, I
Speaker 1: really do. I like to. I have a heart for
Speaker 1: people that are like struggling in any way, Like I
Speaker 1: just want to make people feel good about themselves. Like
Speaker 1: what I do, I guess is whenever I see somebody,
Speaker 1: if I ever see somebody and have like a bad thought,
Speaker 1: or like if I'm annoyed or I like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm in my own head about something, or anytime I
Speaker 1: see anybody, I always try to look at them like
Speaker 1: through God's eyes, So I'll try to like feel the
Speaker 1: love that God has for that person when I come
Speaker 1: into contact with them, and then I feel like it
Speaker 1: changes my whole perspective on anything, like if someone's being
Speaker 1: mean to me, or someone's rude, or someone cuts you
Speaker 1: off or whatever instead because it's not about you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not about me, and it's honestly, it's probably not
Speaker 1: even about them. It's like they're still Like it's because
Speaker 1: of whatever they're struggling with. It's whatever fear or anger
Speaker 1: or like hurt that they've been through that's causing them
Speaker 1: to react that way. How did you gain that wisdom?
Speaker 1: How did you get that hard for people that is
Speaker 1: like holy spirit deposited? Yeah. Well, and I think I
Speaker 1: have this revelation one day because I've like I was
Speaker 1: really stressed out and scared about something or like freaking
Speaker 1: out and and I yelled at my dog and I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, yeah, christ Hill, And I was like
Speaker 1: maybe Hall woween you can yell U, but not Christmas. Um.
Speaker 1: I yelled at him and I was like immediately, I
Speaker 1: was just like why did I do that? And I
Speaker 1: looked at him and like he didn't do anything wrong,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, And I just snapped at him and
Speaker 1: I was like oh, And I was like I did
Speaker 1: that because I'm scared about X y Z right, And
Speaker 1: I took it out and that Chrispear like came out
Speaker 1: of my mouth and like I imparted that onto him.
Speaker 1: And so I just realized that when any right there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like this moment where I was like oh,
Speaker 1: because then I realized every time anybody is like mean
Speaker 1: to you are rude or negative, or they're complaining or
Speaker 1: they're like whatever, anything that's like ugly or not good. Um,
Speaker 1: it comes from a place of like hurt or fear.
Speaker 1: So I like immediately try to recognize that and like think,
Speaker 1: like how can I help so off in that for
Speaker 1: that person. Instead of reacting like okay, like or being
Speaker 1: rude back or like anything, I'm like, oh, let me
Speaker 1: just buy you or like let me just like you.
Speaker 1: Do you return that hostility or that anger fear that
Speaker 1: someone is having with love, and that's how you choose
Speaker 1: the world. April, Wow, you're wise. You are the full package.
Speaker 1: Maybe like April okay, but thank you know, and I like, again,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I don't want to take credit
Speaker 1: for this because this is all like these are all
Speaker 1: things that I feel like I've really learned, and um,
Speaker 1: you've wanted to learn these, You've like you've tried to
Speaker 1: learn these. I can tell you've intentionally developed into this person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But I think that my heart for that just comes
Speaker 1: from pursuing God. Like I think the more you pursue Him,
Speaker 1: the more you like just have that love for people,
Speaker 1: because it's I mean, he taught us to love it's
Speaker 1: not even our love, it's like his, you know, And
Speaker 1: I just want to be a vessel to like let
Speaker 1: his love come through mere. Okay, so we're gonna wrap
Speaker 1: up last question. Your whole thing has been inspiring, but
Speaker 1: I like to leave, would leave your light, So leave
Speaker 1: some inspiration. Everything you do is inspirational, but leave some
Speaker 1: inspiration of how you really would like to inspire people
Speaker 1: or how you've been inspired. Um, I guess, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean inspiration. I don't know. I guess for me, that's
Speaker 1: what it is. It's like taking care of other people
Speaker 1: and like loving other people. I really believe in what
Speaker 1: they say that it comes back, and it comes back
Speaker 1: bigger than you put out. So loving other people and
Speaker 1: taking care of other people like you're going to be
Speaker 1: loved and cared for. And if you pursue that intentionally
Speaker 1: with your heart, like your heart is going to be
Speaker 1: well taken care of. So just rest in knowing that
Speaker 1: that principle is sound and that you can just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just cut it off. That's so true,
Speaker 1: you'll be taking care of If you give love, it
Speaker 1: will come back bigger. Sounds super cheesy, no, and it's
Speaker 1: sounds really legit and I love it and I feel
Speaker 1: so inspired. Thanks April, thank you for joining me today.
