But Jesse Israel 67 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: is the founder of a mass meditation movement called the 68 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: Big Quiet, and his takeaway is give yourself permission to rest. 69 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: For us to give ourselves permission to cut back right 70 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 4: now instead of lean into more, and to give ourselves 71 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 4: the permission to rest and to find ways to rest 72 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 4: if we're able to be in nature, to be with family, 73 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 4: if we can, I know a lot of us can't. 74 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 4: Really amping up the self care is so important right now. 75 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 2: I think a lot of us can agree that there 76 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: was some time and maybe we're still going through it, 77 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: to be honest, where it was really frustrating that we 78 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 2: didn't feel as though we could execute like we used 79 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: to be able to execute before the pandemic. I was. 80 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: I can't even fathom how I was able to do 81 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 2: all the things that I used to do in a 82 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: single day. I would start my day at five am. 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: I would go work out. I would journal and meditate 84 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: and make coffee and then perfectly get ready and do 85 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: my hair and go my wee work office, and then 86 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: write two articles and do three expert interviews, and then 87 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: do an edit for the podcast and produce the podcast 88 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: and release the podcast, and then go to some event 89 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: at night, and like I'm tired, just telling you about 90 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: the things that I used to. 91 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: Do woo, and so I totally am on. 92 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: Board with Jesse's big takeaway of not just resting, but 93 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: giving ourselves permission to rest and knowing that it's okay, 94 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: in fact it's important, and do so without that chain 95 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 2: and without that guilt. Right this may sound, I don't 96 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 2: know how it's gonna sound, but for me, twenty twenty 97 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 2: one was the year that I finally got good at 98 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: sitting on my couch and just being whether it was 99 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: just reading or watching TV or watching like eighteen episodes 100 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 2: back to back of Insecure, whatever it is. I used 101 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: to feel so guilty, like I should be doing more 102 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 2: in these moments. But what I've come to learn is 103 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: that I need them and I crave them, and I'm 104 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: so thankful that I've worked on this acquired skill. I 105 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: think it's good for all of us. Best of takeaway 106 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 2: number two with my friend and Peloton instructor Beck's Gentry, 107 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: who highlights the appreciation she has for the idea that 108 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: every single day we have the opportunity to take control 109 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 2: over our lives, not just at the turn of a 110 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: new year, but every single minute, every single moment, every 111 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: single hour. 112 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 5: Life is your adventure. It's something that you create. 113 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 6: You are the only person in control of how your 114 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 6: story plays out, so why don't you make it the 115 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 6: most epic adventure you possibly can. 116 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 2: Every day we have the opportunity to create and choose 117 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: our own adventure. 118 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 3: I love that. 119 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 2: And almost hand in hand with this lesson is the 120 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: important notion that we're I'm not going to be able 121 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: to control the circumstances around every situation, which means that 122 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 2: it's important to let go of the anger or the 123 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: frustration that comes hand in hand with the uncontrollable. Oftentimes, 124 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: it's easy to work hard and stick things out when 125 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 126 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: But this year, it's like the end of the tunnel 127 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: just keeps getting pushed back and pushed back and pushed back. 128 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: But sitting here and being angry about that that doesn't 129 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: do us any good. It doesn't mean that you're not 130 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: entitled or allowed to feel angry, But we owe it 131 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: to ourselves to take back that control and do the 132 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: best we can with what we have. 133 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 3: I challenge you really. 134 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: To ask yourself, what is happening in your life right 135 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: now that you would change if given the opportunity, and 136 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: if you're not changing it at this moment, what's stopping 137 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: you from making the next step in the adventure you 138 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 2: really desire For the third best of twenty twenty one moment, 139 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 2: I am bringing back a SoundBite from Comika Love. She's 140 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: better known to many as the budget Mom, and I 141 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: loved our conversation on financial wellness, which she highlighted, actually 142 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: has nothing to do with how much money is in 143 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: your bank account, but rather a few other important details. 144 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 5: Wellness does not have anything to do with the numbers. 145 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 5: It's more about the confidence, clarity, and stability that we 146 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 5: feel with our money. 147 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: I'm not even like exaggerating. The week after I recorded 148 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 2: with Camiko, I reached out to a new accountant. 149 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: I started to get my stuff in order. 150 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: I really organized, like what was going on in all 151 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 2: of my different accounts, from my four O one K 152 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: to my IRR to my savings. 153 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 3: I opened up an interest earning savings. 154 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 7: And it all. 155 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: It didn't take that long to go through all these motions, 156 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 2: but that effort made a world of difference because I 157 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: kept coming back to that idea confidence and stability, those 158 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: two keywords. The financial decisions just like you know, so 159 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: many of the other decisions that we make when it 160 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 2: comes to our overall health and wellbeing, the financial decisions 161 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: that we make today can drastically impact us for a 162 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: better tomorrow. And so this idea that everyone is different, 163 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: just like our overall health and well being, your snapshot 164 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: of financial wellness is going to look different than your 165 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: neighbors snapshot, different than your parents snapshot, different than your 166 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: best friends snapshot. And that's okay as long as you're 167 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: making it a priority. Takeaway number four of the top 168 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: ten here from my new friend Willie Valderrama. He came 169 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 2: on the show and talk to us about his battle 170 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 2: with MS, overcoming so many massive challenges to not just 171 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: relearn how to walk, but ultimately run a marathon. I 172 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: loved this conversation. It's one of my apps favorites from 173 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 2: the past year. And his takeaway is to really stop 174 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: and appreciate the small stuff. 175 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: Appreciate the load of stuff. Appreciate walking, Appreciate seeing, appreciate 176 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: just like being able to say hello and good morning 177 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: to someone because it's really simple, Like it's really easy, 178 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: just you can just get that taken away from you. 179 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: It is so easy to get wrapped up in stuff 180 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 2: that just doesn't matter. And at the time when we 181 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: get wrapped up in these things, it feels like whatever 182 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: it is, it's the biggest deal, period. And unfortunately it 183 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: takes some scary moments, some hurdle moments, some rough times 184 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: to take that step back like Willie was forced to 185 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: do over twenty twenty one and reprioritize. And so perhaps 186 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: this lesson really is to approach these frustrations with a 187 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: little bit more grace, to understand that something that may 188 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: in the moment feel like the absolute end of the world, 189 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: it's really it's just a speed bump, but it's just 190 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: a hurdle, right, and that we have the opportunity to 191 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: shape that perspective and to find the gratitude for the 192 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: little moments as they pass, because there is a lot 193 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: of beauty in our day today. Takeaway number five from 194 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 2: my friend Taren Toomey. She's the CEO and founder of 195 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: the class, and her takeaway is that grief can be 196 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 2: a good thing. 197 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 8: There is absolutely no grief without love. If you're grieving something, 198 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 8: it's because there was love. It's just a cycle, right, 199 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 8: So there is no easy unless you've experienced difficulty. 200 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: I'm not all that sure if I really thought about this, 201 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 2: like takeaway from her lens previously, right, having gone through 202 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: difficult times, those times make you appreciate the beautiful moments 203 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 2: the winds even more. I feel like something that's been 204 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 2: said here on the show before, knowing that these hurdles 205 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: are often when we grow the most. 206 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 3: Right. It's not like when everything is smooth sailing. 207 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: You often reflect on those moments, or we often reflect 208 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: on those moments and think, wow, I learned so many 209 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 2: lessons when everything in my life was just going absolutely peachy. No, Like, 210 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: I think about the most growth that I haven't heard 211 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: in my life, and it's been at some of my 212 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 2: darkest times, right, and the breakups and the tears and 213 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 2: the miserable moments when I got kicked out of my 214 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: apartment and getting let go from my job, and man, 215 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I can think of so many. 216 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 3: To insert here, but you get the idea. 217 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: It's really beautiful to think of it that way, that 218 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: without grief, without the tough stuff, the lovely, lovely, beautiful, 219 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: serendipitous times, they wouldn't feel as special.

We need to 311 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 10: stop selling people on the idea there's a one size 312 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 10: fits all, but there is a relative parameters that can 313 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 10: be applied to everyone, and then once you learn that, 314 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 10: then you could develop what's best for you. 315 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 2: What I love about Joe, and let it be known 316 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: that I've known him for some time and it's just 317 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 2: been like so awesome to see him come into his 318 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 2: own and also just make such a name for himself 319 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 2: in this industry.

You 346 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 11: have to jungle gym your way over that hurdle. But 347 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 11: as long as you're trying and like problem solving a 348 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 11: way to get over it, you'll get there. 349 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 3: And I love that analogy. 350 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 2: Where there's a will, there's a way, right, That's what 351 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 2: happens in these tough moments. We learn how to navigate 352 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: the next tough moment and the next tough moment. And 353 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that these things necessarily get less tough. 354 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 2: What it does mean is that we come to understand 355 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: that we have the tools that we need to get 356 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 2: through the mud.

Chilene's highlight 359 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 2: for us is that the challenging moments, we should approach 360 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: them with openness because each challenge makes us better. 361 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 6: I feel like when I'm doing hard things, I actually 362 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 6: feel more alive when I'm challenging myself. And I just 363 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 6: want to, yeah, showcase to young women that sport can 364 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 6: be for life and change your life for the better. 365 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 6: I just felt the need to just do something challenging again. 366 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 2: And challenges she did complete with her Project Eclipse, completing 367 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 2: at six marathons in forty two days just last month. 368 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: Something else I love that Schlaine said when we spoke 369 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 2: live here in New York City Marathon this week. 370 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 3: Such a highlight for me was that mood follows action. 371 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 3: There are so many days that we may not be 372 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 3: in the mood to do X or Y. 373 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 2: But if you get through the hard part of just 374 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: taking that first step, doing that first thing, making yourself 375 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 2: a little bit uncomfortable in pursuit of your ultimate goal, 376 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 2: well then you may be surprised at the good vibes, 377 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 2: the happiness, and the positivity that follows suit. 378 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 3: What a year for hurdle. 379 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I have so many chills, good vibes, goosebumps. 380 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 3: I don't even know. 381 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: I'm just smiling, sitting here again, grateful for all of you, 382 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 2: Grateful for all of these guests, and amped to keep 383 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: doing it, to keep going, to keep hurdling. 384 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 3: Another hurdle conquered.
