So finally 32 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: in my area that evacuation orders have been lifted, and 33 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: they've been really lifted in a lot of other places, 34 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: so that has felt I felt grateful for that. I 35 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 3: felt that I can really kind of ground back into 36 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 3: life again. But there is a cautious nature right now, 37 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: and there's still just an immense amount of grief in 38 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 3: the air here for those that have been affected in 39 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: the areas that are affected. But then also today there 40 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: is several new fires that have started in outskirt areas 41 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: of Greater Los Angeles. So there's a new big fire 42 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: that started a few hours ago in Santa Clarita. So 43 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: just my heart, my spirit, I am deeply present with 44 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: everyone one currently be affected in those communities with those 45 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 3: new evacuation orders, and I am just in deep prayer 46 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: for all of us, for all of the things. For 47 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: all of the things, right, I'll leave it there. There's 48 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: a lot of movement on the planet right now, a 49 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 3: lot of movement in the USA, which is where I 50 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: live and I record this podcast, and there is clearly 51 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 3: so much unknown, so much to happen. So all of 52 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: that's present. I know. There's also in this moment snowstorms 53 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: happening in Houston and Atlanta, So if anyone is negatively 54 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 3: impacted by those, the extent of the coverage that we're 55 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: getting is that there's like some extreme snow days. But 56 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: at this moment, I haven't heard of any further hardship happening. 57 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 3: But if there is, and we're not aware of it 58 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: in this area due to the ways our news coverage 59 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 3: is set up in this state, I just hope everyone 60 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 3: is safe, and I hope that we are all not 61 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 3: just safe, but bearing witness to all of it and 62 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: asking ourselves a question that really helped me as I 63 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 3: navigated this fire, which is, God, what are. 64 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 4: You saying to me? What are you saying to me? 65 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: Right? 66 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 3: Like? I know, whatever interpretations people have, and even though 67 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 3: no one is deserving of any disasters of any kind 68 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: or any tragedy, it also seems like even in the 69 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: hardest moments, there are opportunities for us to have a 70 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: more well trained ear to some of the ways that 71 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 3: God wants us to experience this moment. However it's happening 72 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 3: to or for us, And so if anyone is impacted 73 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 3: by life right now, or even if just with some 74 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: of the changes that have been happening in our government, 75 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: if there is any fears that are present, I found 76 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 3: that a powerful way to lean into the things that 77 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 3: we cannot accept or don't know how to accept. It's 78 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: really to simply say, God, I'm listening. God, I'm listening. 79 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 3: What do you want me to know? What do you 80 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 3: want me to see? How do you want me to 81 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 3: use this? How is my purpose designed for this? So 82 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: just have some of that dialogue for your consideration and 83 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: part of your personal processing and how you're exploring whatever 84 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: is happening wherever you are. I took a joy day 85 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: on Mlkday. Mlkday was this week for me, and it 86 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 3: was also the day of the inauguration, and so just 87 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 3: a very very high energy day for a multitude of reasons. 88 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: Even in the celebration of MLK and the. 89 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 4: Profound effect the profound. 90 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: Effect that he has had on so many of our 91 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 3: minds and hearts and on the world. He was also murdered, 92 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 3: right like Mlka was assassinated. He was taken from us 93 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 3: and really acknowledging it makes me emotional to think about 94 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 3: just acknowledging what it is to be someone who was 95 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 3: brought to this earth. Was such a such a huge 96 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 3: message and such a purpose of transforming, and to also 97 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: be hunted as you're giving the best of your heart 98 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: to the world and seeing some of the atrocities of 99 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: the world in that and you're being hunted, right like 100 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 3: his message of love, his message of nonviolence, his message 101 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 3: of also in permanence and self mastery, he was also 102 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: being hunted that entire time, and that duality. I think 103 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 3: it's always important to be present with that as we 104 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: think about that legacy, because I think it's something that 105 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: we all have to consider bearing for whatever reasons that 106 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: we're here. So on that day, I decided to take 107 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 3: a joy day with my son. Gratefully, we have been 108 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 3: very lucky that our home is safe and we were 109 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: able to come back home.

Your reaction is your reaction, and 115 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: if you're an empathic person, you might pick up on 116 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 3: tragedy a little bit more physically. 117 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: And a little more keenly. 118 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: And so I think that was really present for me 119 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 3: and my son, just the up and down of our 120 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 3: nervous systems over that last two weeks, and the fears 121 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: that were present, the feelings, the sights, the sounds, And 122 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 3: so he had the day off from school and I 123 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: decided to treat us both to just this quick twenty 124 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 3: four hour trip to San Diego, which for me here 125 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: in LA with moderate traffic, it's about a two two 126 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 3: and a half hour drive, And so I booked us 127 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 3: this sweet little hotel for one night, and we drove 128 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 3: down and we listened to his favorite songs and his 129 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: playlist that's. 130 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 4: Called Questi's Faves.

It's one of 177 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 3: my favorite things to do, taking a drive, going to 178 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: somewhere you don't get a chance to visit often, but 179 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: you know it makes you happy, and just setting aside 180 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 3: time to do that, knowing that it's not necessarily going 181 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 3: to be you accomplishing anything. It can really really help 182 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 3: in this moment. It can create some space when it 183 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 3: feels like things are restricting, or it can just be 184 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: a beautiful reset if you've just gone through a challenging 185 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 3: time or that in whatever. 186 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 4: Way that looks like for you. 187 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: All right, let's get to this episode because this is 188 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: one of my favorite topics. And some of what I've 189 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: been thinking a lot lately is I'm I'm definitely an 190 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 3: allowed self processor. 191 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 4: So I love to process. 192 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 3: I'm a Jemini through a lot of communication, through talking 193 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 3: out loud. They're talking with the people in my life, 194 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 3: and I have been trying to be very intentional about 195 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: bringing some of these conversations I've been having for a 196 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: long time with people in my life onto this show, 197 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 3: and so this is definitely one of them. And you know, 198 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 3: with every episode that I do hear on deeply, well, 199 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: my deeper intention is to really guide us through conversations 200 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: that dive beneath the surface, that dive into the heart 201 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: of what it means to live authentically, to heal deeply, 202 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: to evolve purposefully. 203 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,599 Speaker 4: This show is really. 204 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: About having the space to get into the nuance of 205 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 3: some of these conversations that are happening about wellness, and 206 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 3: definitely the ones that I'm most passionate about because I 207 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 3: find that they lead to a more expanded sense of 208 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 3: self and sense of life. 209 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 4: So today's topic. 210 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 3: Is one that I found many of us wrestle with 211 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 3: often without even realizing it. Humility and validation. What does 212 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 3: it mean to be humble without being insecure? How do 213 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 3: we find self love in a way that empowers us 214 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 3: without tipping into pride or arrogance, And in the world 215 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 3: where validation seems to be currency, how do we step 216 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 3: into our power authentically? Let's unravel this twogether. So one 217 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 3: of the things that I was thinking about yesterday that 218 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: I actually tweeted about and I put on threads was 219 00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: I think so many of us have an incorrect deafinie 220 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: of what humility is, and we're misattributing it. So something 221 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 3: I've seen kind of grace the social media zeitgeist in 222 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 3: the last few years is that it's this idea that 223 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: if you are not loud about who you are and 224 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 3: what you have or what you do, or what you're 225 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 3: connected to or what you're creating, that you must be insecure. 226 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 4: Right, Like, that's the way that it keeps. 227 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 3: Being positioned, and things that I've seen on social media 228 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: over the years that like, oh, you better celebrate yourself, 229 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 3: or you know, don't be humble, you can be forgotten. 230 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: And I think we're misunderstanding what it is to be humble, 231 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 3: because to be humble is incredibly powerful when used correctly 232 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 3: and used in service, you know. I think what many 233 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 3: are looking to motivate in others is a transcendence of 234 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 3: what could be an inferiority complex or a sense of 235 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: insecurity about oneself that can absolutely keep us quiet. Or 236 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 3: if we've been in environments where perhaps we were very 237 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 3: qualified or excellent, but the people in our lives, maybe 238 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 3: most notably family of origin early on, doesn't see that 239 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 3: or sees it and chooses to withhold. That's a big 240 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 3: one that can crush your spirit. That's a big one 241 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 3: that can crush the way that you feel about being 242 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 3: vocal or expressive about who you are, what you do, 243 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: what you've done right. That's not what the issue is. 244 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 3: The issue isn't talking about oneself. That's powerful. You should 245 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: Your life is your life. Ultimately, life is between you 246 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 3: and God, and it's about your purpose and your service. 247 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 3: But when it becomes more about the deeper desire of 248 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 3: wanting to be seen. If you find yourself needing to 249 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 3: scream things from rooftops or make big announcements or kind 250 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 3: of activate this look at me, look at me, look at. 251 00:15:59,040 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 4: What I'm doing. 252 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 3: Because you are waiting for the response, that's where things 253 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 3: can get a little bit murky, because that's when you're 254 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: looking to fill this massive void about how you feel 255 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 3: about yourself, and the brain can be and the heart 256 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: can be really sophisticated, and the way it looks to 257 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 3: cope right, and the first layer of it usually does 258 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 3: feel like empowerment. That's why a lot of us stay 259 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 3: toxic relationships we shouldn't be in because we're self righteous 260 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 3: about it. We think we're the bigger person, or that 261 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: you're the one to help save and heal or be example. 262 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 3: It's a really sophisticated way of being afraid and scared 263 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 3: to have conflict or to have boundaries, or to remove 264 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 3: yourself right. It makes one feel good to say, oh, 265 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 3: I'm only keeping my mouth shut because I know or 266 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 3: I'm being the bigger person. It sounds good, but often 267 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 3: the real reason, especially when held with that kind of 268 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 3: a sense or attitude. Reason is you don't have a 269 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 3: lot of practice in your boundaries or in setting a boundary, 270 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 3: or in seeing how you truly feel, and you may 271 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 3: be used to people that don't honor that even when 272 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 3: you've tried, so you've turned that off in you. That 273 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 3: is something different entirely. So let's start with the word humility. 274 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 3: Humility is so often misunderstood for some Again, it feels 275 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 3: synonymous with insecurity, believing that to be humble we are 276 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 3: dimming our light or shrinking ourselves or denying our gifts. 277 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 3: That is really how I've seen it come forward in 278 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 3: a lot of the social media talk that's going on 279 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 3: right if you're not yelling it from the rooftops, or 280 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 3: if you're not kind of standing there letting people be 281 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 3: in all of you in whatever ways, or kind of 282 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 3: you know, overcompliment that it's because your light is dim 283 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 3: or you're scared to shine your light, or you want 284 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 3: to be shrinking or small or in denial about what 285 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 3: you're here to offer. And that's just not true. True 286 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 3: humility is not about disempowerment. It's really about grace. It's 287 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 3: about power. It's about you are, an acceptance of who 288 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 3: and what you are and so you're not necessarily overly 289 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 3: connected to praise or criticism. Something I've seen a lot 290 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 3: in this boss Babe era that we have lord been 291 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 3: in for too long in the last ten fifteen years. 292 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 3: It's that so many want to be celebrated for announcing 293 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: the idea and then making a lot of social media 294 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 3: posts about the idea or creating content about the idea, 295 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 3: or about empowerment or about whatever ways anyone wants to 296 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 3: be seen as above or as a role model. But 297 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 3: the celebration should be the work. I know some people 298 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 3: need that extra bit of motivation and deserve it, right, 299 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 3: Like if it's been hard for you to make the 300 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 3: choice to buy the URL or start the thing or 301 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: say the passions of your heart out loud, having that 302 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 3: first step of acknowledging that and expressing that it is 303 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: important and you should do that if that's what your 304 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 3: challenge is. But that isn't what everyone's challenge is, and 305 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 3: so utilizing that can actually be a hindrance. If that's 306 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 3: not what your challenge is, If your challenge isn't expressing 307 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 3: the idea or saying it, if your challenge is actually 308 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 3: doing it, maybe you shouldn't make the announcement when you 309 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 3: thought of it. Maybe the announcements should come once the 310 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 3: work gets started or the work is complete. We don't 311 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,719 Speaker 3: need outside validation, especially at the onset. Sometimes it can 312 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 3: be incredibly disruptive to what you're making and what you're building. 313 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 3: Something that I've expressed on this show many times. It's 314 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 3: an ethos that I absolutely live by, and it's one 315 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 3: that I was really grateful to hear from Deepak Chopra. 316 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 3: It's something that he has said often that really meant 317 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 3: so much to me. But he has often said I 318 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 3: am above nor beneath anyone. I live by that so deeply. 319 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: I thought, finally, like there are words to express how 320 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 3: I live and how I wish to live, what my 321 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 3: ideal life is. And that doesn't mean I don't know 322 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 3: my power. I know what I am. I've always known 323 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 3: what I am. In my birth chart, it actually says 324 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 3: like I have an abundance of authentic confidence. Even when 325 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 3: I was a child and did nothing, I've always known 326 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: who I am, and I've always known that I have 327 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 3: a purpose. Part of how I'm wired, however, doesn't necessarily 328 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 3: include natural competition. I don't think about what other people 329 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 3: are doing, and I'm not saying that's a good or 330 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 3: a bad thing. What I'm saying is that's my unique 331 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 3: design in my life, and that's how I am meant 332 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 3: to operate. So I think when we investigate these conversations 333 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 3: of what is humility, what is insecurity? What is having 334 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 3: or needing validation to stay upright? What is having self 335 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 3: empowerment and self validation? What is seeing yourself or being 336 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 3: seen by the people that matter to you? And what 337 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 3: is just sometimes this gluttonous desire for everyone to look 338 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 3: at you. I think it's important to know how your 339 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 3: life is shaped up. What have you perceived yourself to 340 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 3: be lacking? 341 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: You know? 342 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 4: That says a lot of it. 343 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 3: So it's important not to create these overarching narratives of 344 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 3: how everyone else's experience is, or project onto other people 345 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 3: how they behave and what that means or doesn't mean. 346 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 3: You know, some of us are here to learn confidence 347 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 3: in an authentic, empowered way. Some of us are here 348 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 3: to teach confidence and authentic empowered way. 349 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 2: Deeply. 350 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: Well. 351 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 3: Something that's been interesting in the social media world is 352 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 3: I don't love social media. I accept that it's a 353 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 3: part of life. I don't dislike it because I necessarily 354 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 3: think anything's wrong with it, or because you know, yeah, 355 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 3: I'm not above nor beneath it. It's just I like 356 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 3: to live life with a different flow. I don't want 357 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 3: to be connected all the time. I don't want people 358 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 3: to know what I'm doing all the time. I don't 359 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 3: want people to look at me or see me all 360 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 3: the time, not because I don't think I am worthy 361 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 3: of being looked at, but because, like I don't know 362 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 3: everybody on social media, and I'm very focused on my 363 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 3: natural life. I'm very focused on the life that's in 364 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: front of me that I'm present with. I want to 365 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: be in my life more than I wish to be 366 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 3: on my phone for a multitude of reasons. It's not real, 367 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 3: and my work is my work. I'm not a content creator. 368 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 3: My work actually more so exists offline, and I just 369 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 3: found that it was way too exhausting and for me, 370 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 3: the way I'm designed in my life is set up 371 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 3: counterintuitive to spend more time creating graphics about my work 372 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 3: than I was actually spending on my work. It's not 373 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 3: what I'm designed to do. The gifts that God gave me, 374 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 3: and life are one of them, is deep communication. Another 375 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 3: is personal presence. I'm an in person person. I'm someone 376 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 3: that wants to be with people in the world and 377 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 3: not always thinking about how I craft the perception of 378 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: me for those consuming me. And that may not make 379 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 3: sense to everybody, and that definitely may not be everyone's path. 380 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 3: Some people absolutely are designed to create digitally and that 381 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: is a massive part of their gifts and a massive 382 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 3: part of their purpose, and they perhaps maybe don't have 383 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 3: those same gifts in person. And some people that have 384 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 3: those gifts in person, it may not be nor should 385 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 3: it have to be their gift to also convey that digitally. 386 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,239 Speaker 3: We are all here to share who we are, what 387 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 3: our gifts are, and what our purpose is and ways 388 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 3: that are unique to each of us. And though right now, 389 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 3: in this moment it seems like digital life is king, 390 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 3: it hasn't always been and it won't always be. 391 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 4: And so getting used to. 392 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 3: And accepting the fact that all seasons aren't one aren't 393 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 3: necessarily seasons that you are meant to be deeply understood 394 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: or your work is meant to be deeply understood. I 395 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 3: think it's incredibly beautiful and honorable to have deep peace 396 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 3: with that. There is a world where I could fight 397 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: that right, and I could be trying to put out 398 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 3: so much content constantly, but that is a life that 399 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 3: I'd be really miserable in Personally, It's not how I'm designed. 400 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 3: I'm designed to slow down and be in the tiny joys. 401 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 3: I'm designed to contemplate the world in my life. I'm 402 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 3: designed to be present with my child, but not necessarily 403 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 3: turn it into. 404 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 4: Content to be consumed. That's just me, and I. 405 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 3: Think in this day and age, for those that are 406 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 3: also relating with what I'm saying, there's this false belief 407 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 3: from some of the mainstream world or the mainstream zeitgeist, 408 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 3: that that means you're somehow disempowered or not confident enough 409 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 3: or afraid to put yourself out there. And that is 410 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 3: the case for some people, and they do need that motivation, 411 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 3: and that's not the case for others. You know, I 412 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 3: think there are some of us that really understand why 413 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 3: we're here, or are looking to understand why we're here, 414 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 3: and we're meant to connect with our natural lives and 415 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 3: go deeper in intimacy with the people that are part 416 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 3: of those natural lives, perhaps more so than we are 417 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 3: with trying to predict or control or create narrative around 418 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 3: what people we don't necessarily have relationship with think about us. 419 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 3: And I think that that's important to dive into those 420 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 3: nuanced layers of how we're experiencing these two worlds we're 421 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 3: each living in. Talk about polarity, talk about duality. We're 422 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 3: living two full time lives at once, an internet life, 423 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 3: a digital life, and an in person life, and we're 424 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 3: getting different responses to each life. We're very often having 425 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 3: different experiences in each life. 426 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 4: A way to. 427 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 3: Highlight that further would be if you've ever done something 428 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 3: and you've been present in it, and then you've shared 429 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 3: it on social media, and maybe you've shared it on 430 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 3: social media in a way that is far more excited 431 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 3: than how you actually felt about it as the experience 432 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 3: was happening in person. Those are two different lives, and 433 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 3: there is something about that that is a little odd 434 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 3: when we think about the authenticity of what an experience 435 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 3: is right, not necessarily saying it's good or bad either, 436 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: but it's two very different and at odd experiences that 437 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 3: are happening. It's just something to notice. I think the 438 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 3: same can be said for experiences like if you've noticed 439 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 3: that you experienced the experience through the lens of a phone, 440 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 3: but you don't really remember what it was to feel 441 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 3: it in your body, but your memory of it is 442 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 3: how it looked as you digitally captured it. It's just 443 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 3: interesting to see what's the difference there. Am I missing something? 444 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 3: Is there opportunity to have both because you don't want 445 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 3: to miss your human experience? 446 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 4: It is why we're here. 447 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, if something like 448 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 3: TikTok disappears, if Instagram disappears, if one day all of 449 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 3: our digital identity is wiped and we're back to how 450 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 3: life was thirty years ago, which isn't a long time 451 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 3: ago forty years ago, right, Like, what does that look like? 452 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 3: Who are we if not that? So I think it's 453 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 3: just really important for all of us as humans to 454 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 3: check in on that relationship that we're having with our lives, 455 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 3: the perception we put forward and how we actually feel 456 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 3: about ourselves, or how we actually are experiencing the moments 457 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 3: that are in front of us in real time. So 458 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 3: I bring kind of all of that into this conversation 459 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 3: because it's important to know that we are all having 460 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 3: a shared experience, but we are also having vastly different 461 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 3: experiences inside depending on our innate gifts. The skill sets 462 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 3: we've amassed are car our complex challenges and how we 463 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 3: are intended to serve. And it is okay if that 464 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 3: looks different for each of us. Not only is it okay, 465 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 3: that's under selling it, it is intended. 466 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 4: It is intended, So. 467 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 3: Start looking at that next time you compete or you compare. 468 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 3: I think it's easy to do, especially if the comparison 469 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 3: is just aesthetic content or graphics. You know, anybody can 470 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 3: put up a graphic, are they living the experience that 471 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 3: they talked about? I think anybody can also get a 472 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 3: download of a thought and share it and it could 473 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 3: be powerful and change the lives of so many. But 474 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 3: that is different than someone that downloads a thought or 475 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 3: healing and in plants it and embodies it and then 476 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 3: shares it, even when it's just with one other person 477 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 3: that's in front of you. Neither are necessarily more valuable, 478 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 3: but they are different experiences. I remember a few years 479 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 3: ago I had this author on my show. I never 480 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 3: aired this episode, I never talked about this episode, but 481 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 3: this author had written a book that changed my life 482 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 3: that I found to be such an incredible body of work. 483 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 3: And this book sold millions and millions and millions of 484 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 3: copies worldwide. And when I had them come on my show, God, 485 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 3: I felt so synchronistic, so honored, so grateful to be 486 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 3: speaking with someone that their work really changed my life 487 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 3: to this day. It's been a core part of how 488 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 3: I've understood certain things right. And when this person came 489 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 3: on my show, I experienced them so differently than I 490 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 3: could have imagined. I experienced them personally through my lens 491 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 3: to be very inauthentic, very misogynistic. I was so uncomfortable 492 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 3: for the whole interview. They were very much And I 493 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 3: don't take offense easily, like I've heard and seen it all. 494 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 3: I've lived many lives in this life with all kinds 495 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 3: of people, so I don't really take anything personally. I 496 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 3: also lived through the first round of the Internet, where 497 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 3: you get people like literally saying they want to kill 498 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: you in comments when you put your workout, so I 499 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 3: don't get easily offended at all. But this person was 500 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 3: so trying to make me feel small, like literally the 501 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 3: way I would kind of describe. But it's like if 502 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 3: someone ever tried to make you feel patriarchally like a little. 503 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 4: Woman like, oh, that's so cute, or oh, you don't 504 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 4: know much and. 505 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and so they also kind of said inappropriate 506 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 3: comments to me. And one of the questions I asked them, 507 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 3: I said, you know, one of the early questions was like, 508 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 3: this was such a beautiful book, and when you channeled this, 509 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 3: when you came to understand this, like how did it 510 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 3: change your life? I was so excited to hear that answer, 511 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 3: because what's so important is that we ground these bigger 512 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 3: concepts about healing into our bodies and into the world 513 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 3: with the how and with the process. And I'll never 514 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 3: forget Their response to me was that they actually never 515 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 3: applied any of the things in the book, and after 516 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 3: writing the book, they really didn't sit and think too 517 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 3: much about it after that, And it was a huge 518 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 3: It was a really interesting thing for me to observe 519 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 3: because it did teach me that some people are here 520 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 3: to change the world, but not through their own behavior, 521 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 3: through their work, and that is okay, and that is enough. 522 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 3: But there is a difference. There is a difference. There 523 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 3: is a difference than when you get an understanding and 524 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 3: you take the time to embody it and let it 525 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 3: change you and live it and then you know you 526 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 3: have to share it because it's service versus You got 527 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 3: the download and you were told to share it, and 528 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 3: you did, and now you're done saying either as above 529 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 3: or beneath. But they're different experiences, and so we're all 530 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 3: here to share God's work, to share the intended path, 531 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 3: to share in service with one another, but we all 532 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 3: do it in different ways. 533 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 4: And I think. 534 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 3: It's important to look at that, and it's important to 535 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 3: know that also for your own self respect and for 536 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 3: your own sanity and your own ability to understand and 537 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 3: have reverence and gratitude for your gifts. And just because 538 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 3: they aren't showing up to the same fanfare as someone else's, 539 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. You are here to share it and 540 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 3: serve it. And it's only been in the last truly 541 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 3: fifteen or so years that it even mattered if millions 542 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 3: saw something that you did, or you know, if everybody 543 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 3: in every state saw something that you did. You know, 544 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 3: there is beauty and anchoring deeply in your own life 545 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 3: and being creative for the sake of it. Something my 546 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 3: astrology said that gave me a lot of freedom because 547 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 3: I used to work in an industry. 548 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 4: That was all about look at me, look at me, 549 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 4: look at me, and. 550 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 3: I just am not naturally designed for that. And it's 551 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 3: because I don't think I'm great, And it's not because 552 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 3: I'm not excellent at what I do I am. It's 553 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 3: because that's just not the archetype I'm meant to embody. 554 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 3: It's not what I want, and it's not what I 555 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 3: am meant to share. 556 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 4: With other people. 557 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 3: We are all here to share ourselves in a way 558 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 3: that is useful and helpful and evolutionary for others, even 559 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 3: in the tiniest moments of what you do and in 560 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 3: the biggest moments. And we are all here occupying different archetypes. 561 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 3: So some people are here to be the ones that 562 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 3: are loud and incredibly largely confident, and there's others that 563 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 3: are here to have quiet power and be an embodied confidence. 564 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 3: And we need both. We need more than those two examples. 565 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 3: We need all kinds of examples of doing that. I 566 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 3: remember someone shared something with me once where it was 567 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 3: kind of I was doing some really special things a 568 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 3: few years ago, and so I was getting a lot 569 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 3: of coverage in a lot of ways and had some 570 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 3: opportunities to be on a national commercial that was really 571 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 3: special and beautiful, beautiful things that I'm so grateful for. 572 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,720 Speaker 3: And I remember a friend shared something that another person 573 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 3: that was a casual mutual friend. 574 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 4: Said where they were like, God, I'm. 575 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 3: Having a really tough time seeing Debbie rise. And the 576 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 3: friends shared that comment with me, and I remember when 577 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 3: I heard it, I was just like, huh, I could 578 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 3: understand that. I could understand that, depending on where you 579 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 3: are with your life, jealousy is a natural emotion that 580 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 3: we all feel at certain points. But the thing I said, 581 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 3: and I said this with true curiosity, not as above 582 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 3: or beneath, because also the person that said this comment 583 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 3: has a beautiful life and they're very successful and they 584 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 3: do very special work. But my response was, what is 585 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 3: it that we do the same? Why am I even 586 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 3: being compared? Why is she looking to measure? What is 587 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 3: it that we do the same. You know, the core 588 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 3: of our work is completely different, Our life experiences that 589 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 3: led us to this moment are completely different, and potentially 590 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 3: what we're here to do is completely different. But to 591 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:33,320 Speaker 3: feel lower or less enthusiastic about your own work because 592 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 3: we have a similar follower count, and that's what's feeling 593 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 3: like you're inadequate, It. 594 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,720 Speaker 4: Makes no sense. 595 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 3: That has nothing to do with anything. I don't know 596 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 3: why I went on this big tangent. My hope is 597 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 3: that this was useful to someone. The conversation kind of 598 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,280 Speaker 3: took a direction I wasn't planning. But just really think, 599 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 3: what is the archetype you were meant to embody? And 600 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 3: you'll see the themes of it throughout your whole life. 601 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 3: And it's easy to check in with yourself if you're 602 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 3: holding back when you start asking yourself questions. If the 603 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 3: reason you're holding your self celebration back is because there 604 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 3: is fear of what people will think, or because there 605 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:20,760 Speaker 3: is this idea or program of comparison or shame running 606 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,240 Speaker 3: inside of you, it is important for you to really 607 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 3: embody confidence in who you are and maybe to be 608 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 3: in that special practice of saying things loudly and boldly 609 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 3: and in big ways and celebrating and letting others celebrate you. 610 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 3: That could be exactly what you need. And if that 611 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 3: is not necessarily what your challenges were, if the challenges 612 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,959 Speaker 3: were different for you, that may not be the path 613 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 3: for you. But only each of us individually know that 614 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,760 Speaker 3: where do you feel most confident? Me personally, I feel 615 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 3: most confident when I'm with people in person. 616 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 4: I love it. I love it. I love it. 617 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 3: So I love when i have this space to create 618 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 3: meaningful retreats and host them and do them. I love 619 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 3: it when I'm working with clients or when I'm able 620 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 3: to have workshops or be on a big stage in 621 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 3: front of a big audience for a specific reason. I 622 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 3: love those moments because I love that feeling. I love 623 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 3: to be immersed in my human experience with other humans, 624 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 3: and digitally, I like doing that through my stories. I 625 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 3: like sharing beautiful moments. But I'm not necessarily one to 626 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 3: craft the perfect caption that properly to other people's showcases 627 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 3: things in a certain kind of way. It's not what 628 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 3: I'm designed for. It's not what I like to do, 629 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 3: So I don't I lean into what I'm designed to 630 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 3: do deeply well, So, leaning back into the focus of 631 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,240 Speaker 3: this episode, I want to go through a couple points 632 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,399 Speaker 3: with you to really help anchor and sink in what 633 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 3: your recipe is for how you're meant to embody what 634 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 3: you're here to do, and the kind of power you're 635 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 3: meant to embody. Some people are meant to embody it 636 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 3: in the grand ways and the fully dressed up, show 637 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,959 Speaker 3: out ways, and that makes it possible for other people 638 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 3: to dream like that too. Some people are meant to 639 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 3: embody in the quiet power and in the grace and 640 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 3: in the dignity and the humility, and that is a 641 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 3: path for those that most connect and resonate with that style, 642 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,879 Speaker 3: And neither style really has to be compared. So let's 643 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 3: further deconstruct this so again with humility. I think some 644 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 3: of the misconception often stems from a misunderstanding of the 645 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 3: root word itself. Historically, humility doesn't mean to be small, 646 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 3: and means to have an accurate understanding of yourself, your gifts, 647 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 3: and your role in the bigger picture. Being humble doesn't 648 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 3: mean undervalue yourself. It means showing up in the truth 649 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 3: of who you are and what your experience is, and 650 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 3: not necessarily needing to be perceived as big or powerful 651 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 3: or receiving of external validation to affirm who you already are. 652 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 3: The way I see it, humility is really a special 653 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 3: path when one is connected to the path of non attachment, 654 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 3: when one is connected to the path of self mastery. 655 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 3: For me, humility represents a path of non attachment, not 656 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 3: to praise nor criticism. It's connected to a path of 657 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 3: self mastery, which is I am looking to be in 658 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 3: the mastery of the gifts and the skills God told 659 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 3: me to be with and to be in service with. 660 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 3: That's how I experience humility. So again, this brings me 661 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 3: to and we've explored this episodes, but to validation. You know, 662 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 3: in our digital age, validation is more accessible than ever. 663 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 3: It is all of those likes on something you shared. 664 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 3: It is the engagement, the comments, the shares, the views, 665 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 3: but it's also so much more fleeting. Social media has 666 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,320 Speaker 3: created this culture where we're craving all of that really deeply, 667 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 3: and we're thinking that that equates being seen. 668 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:24,879 Speaker 4: But it's not. 669 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 3: As permanent as one would think, right, you know, it's 670 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 3: like that age old quote. And forgive me if I 671 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 3: misattributed this, but I believe it's to Maya Angelou. But 672 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 3: people remember how you make them feel more than anything else, 673 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 3: more than what you say, more than what you do. 674 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 3: It's how they felt in their cells and their body, 675 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 3: what they registered their experience with you to be. That's 676 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,879 Speaker 3: really what the truth of what someone's life is. That's 677 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 3: the truth of what someone's service is. Right, and it's 678 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,840 Speaker 3: important to be in your life and really in connection 679 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 3: with what that is. Having a lot of social media 680 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 3: friends can be really beautiful, especially if you're someone that 681 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 3: perhaps has social anxiety or is more of an introvert, 682 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 3: or likes the way that distance feels. That is beautiful. 683 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 3: And I also think that we are meant to be 684 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 3: in community and meant to be in humanity, and nothing 685 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 3: takes the place, And for some of us it requires 686 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 3: a little more work or a little wider casting of 687 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 3: the net. But there's nothing that really equals what it 688 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 3: is to master presence with another human being, with your 689 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:55,240 Speaker 3: life with animals. There's nothing that really can measure next 690 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 3: to what it is to regulate your body to the 691 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 3: missy and vulnerability of being in person with people and 692 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 3: growing friendship offline, growing friendship and difficult conversations, growing friendship 693 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 3: and reading each other's body language or feelings. You know 694 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 3: that that is what a human physical body, heart, brain, 695 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 3: spirit is designed to do. So on one end of 696 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,359 Speaker 3: the spectrum, we are seeing, you know, those loud celebrations 697 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 3: of self as a kind of aggrandizing that can feel 698 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,280 Speaker 3: disconnected from our inner knowing. You know when that doesn't 699 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 3: show up in our own life, we notice it's not congruent. 700 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 3: On the other end, there is this quiet, grounded confidence 701 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 3: that doesn't need to be shouted from the rooftops. When 702 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 3: you know you accept yourself, and when you know that 703 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 3: you are authentically grateful for your life now and that 704 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 3: your life is enough, you're not constantly grasping and seeking 705 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 3: in looking for the pivot that will garner more attention, 706 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 3: or looking for the experience that will get more celebration. 707 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 3: Neither as inherently right or wrong. They are just different 708 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 3: expressions of where all of us are on our unique journeys. 709 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,759 Speaker 3: And that is the nuance that I think we need 710 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 3: to honor in one another's experience, especially before we go 711 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 3: projecting what we think is the right path on other people, 712 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,840 Speaker 3: or judging someone as less or beneath because it's different, 713 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:35,240 Speaker 3: or judging someone as you know, maybe not smart enough 714 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 3: or not knowing how to maximize enough. I remember someone 715 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 3: else share they said, why don't you do your podcast 716 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 3: in like this many minutes? I was like, I like 717 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 3: long form content and those that do too will ride 718 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 3: with it, and those that have the attention spans that 719 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 3: learn differently with maybe five minute content fifteen minute content. 720 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 3: There is a host of people that are able to 721 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 3: get what they need to do to them, even though 722 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 3: you know the audience size or scope may be different. 723 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 3: I want to honor what my gift is, which is 724 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 3: long form teaching and communication for the people that crave that, 725 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 3: and I'm always gonna do that. I'm never gonna change 726 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 3: who and what I am to present things in a 727 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:25,800 Speaker 3: way that are more in line with what is popular. 728 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it how I want to do it, 729 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 3: and I think that's how we should all do it, 730 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 3: and continue to listen and honor if that is in 731 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,360 Speaker 3: fact our correct path, and then listen to the opportunities 732 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,360 Speaker 3: to change it whenever that is required or to grow. 733 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 4: But listen. Is it fear or is it just different? 734 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 2: Right like? 735 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 3: Is it self repression or is it just different? Is 736 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 3: it lack of confidence or is it just different? It 737 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 3: could be either of those answers, And I pray that 738 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 3: you can adjust to remove whatever barrier is in front 739 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,759 Speaker 3: of you that keeps you from authentic sharing yourself with 740 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 3: those in your life and with the greater world, if 741 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 3: that is how you are meant to interact. We're all 742 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 3: designed differently. Some people crave quiet natural life. Others find 743 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 3: deep passionate fulfillment in building their personal brands and being 744 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,720 Speaker 3: in more of the greater world. I think the question 745 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,959 Speaker 3: that we need to ask ourselves is am I being 746 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 3: true to my unique life? Am I being true to 747 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 3: my design? Am I seeking validation to fill avoid? Or 748 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 3: am I simply looking to share my light and my gifts. 749 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 3: Another area where humility and validation really intersect a lot 750 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 3: is in self love. So there's this growing narrative that 751 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 3: self love is about being quote unquote proud of yourself 752 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 3: in a loud way. But I've found that true, sustainable 753 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:57,279 Speaker 3: self love is often quiet. It's the inner knowing that 754 00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:03,840 Speaker 3: you are enough, even without everyone else acknowledging it. Sometimes 755 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 3: we celebrate ourselves again before that work is even done, 756 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 3: seeking validation instead of seeing rooted in the process itself. 757 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 3: That is okay, it's part of the learning curve. But 758 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 3: what would it look like to let your work speak 759 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 3: for itself? As long as you are receiving, you know, 760 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 3: whatever it is you're meant to receive for what you're 761 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,879 Speaker 3: giving for all of this, that's different. There's so much 762 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 3: power in that. Think of Picasso, think of ven go 763 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 3: think of the masters. They weren't pandering for attention, they 764 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 3: weren't pandering for favor. His work was enough. Their work 765 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,359 Speaker 3: was enough because they believed in it, and they really 766 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 3: didn't have any other choice but to create. 767 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,400 Speaker 4: That belief grounded. 768 00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:01,400 Speaker 3: Steady, and self sufficient was the power that carried them. 769 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 3: There's so many figures in history who really embody graceful power, 770 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 3: people that held their brilliance with humility, even when they 771 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 3: were misunderstood and even when what they created was not 772 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 3: in line with what people could accept in the time. Again, 773 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 3: you have your van goes. The people that you may 774 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 3: have what they would have referred to as the time 775 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 3: has gone mad or felt completely unseen and weren't seen 776 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 3: until after they passed, didn't make their work less valuable. 777 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 3: It just meant that part of their karma and life 778 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:42,319 Speaker 3: experiences were that they were visionaries or pioneers and a 779 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 3: time that couldn't understand them, but their souls work and 780 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 3: their mission eventually was still honored and was still of 781 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 3: high service to the world. And that is what I 782 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 3: believe God requires. So it's less about our own ego 783 00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 3: and it's more about the deep connection that you're doing 784 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 3: knowing what you're supposed to do. Sometimes there is agony 785 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,880 Speaker 3: and being in your gifts. There's agony and being a genius. 786 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 3: There is agony and being first. There's agony and being misunderstood. 787 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 3: It's part of our karma if that's the case of 788 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 3: our unique path. The work is all that matters, and 789 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,759 Speaker 3: when you trust your work and your process, you do 790 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 3: not require the external noise to affirm you. Are you 791 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,399 Speaker 3: deserving of it? Would it feel good, certainly, but it's 792 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,800 Speaker 3: not necessarily required. And it doesn't mean that you can't 793 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 3: find and live other ways of being deeply seen and known. 794 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 3: Though it's not saying that you're signing up for a 795 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,799 Speaker 3: life of being bleak or on being an outlier, or 796 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 3: being you know, out in the void on the edges. 797 00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,800 Speaker 3: Find the ways that you are meant to be seen 798 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 3: and received, and usually that comes from the community that 799 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 3: really gets your work or from the peer group that 800 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,399 Speaker 3: is creating in the similar ways. They can see your art, 801 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,839 Speaker 3: they can speak to it, they can appreciate it. This 802 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 3: is where humility becomes a superpower. It allows you to 803 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 3: stand in your truth, to be fully aware of your gifts, 804 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 3: but without the need to prove or to compare. Authentic 805 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,799 Speaker 3: empowerment looks different for everyone. It is not about being 806 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 3: louder or softer. It's about what is an alignment for you. 807 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 3: For some, it is that quiet inner knowing. For others 808 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,239 Speaker 3: it is bold, visible expression. 809 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 4: Both are valid. The key is to honor. 810 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 3: Where you are and to resist the urge to compare 811 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 3: your path to someone else's. One thing I don't long 812 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 3: for is the kind of fame that takes away your 813 00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 3: human experience. And I think for some that is something 814 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 3: they do long for, and that is part of their 815 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 3: unique karma. You know, the people that are some of 816 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 3: our biggest figures and archetypes and celebrities. I really recognize 817 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,920 Speaker 3: the sacrifice of that. I consider that to be high service, 818 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 3: you know. And yeah, in some ways, they might be 819 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:22,839 Speaker 3: gifted a lot of opportunity through the masses knowing them, 820 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 3: or through the wealth that they're able to amass, and 821 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,520 Speaker 3: that is a part of their journey and a part 822 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,839 Speaker 3: of what they are rewarded with if they find it 823 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:38,279 Speaker 3: beautiful and useful because of their sacrifice. But all of 824 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 3: that attention is a sacrifice. It does disconnect you from you. 825 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,719 Speaker 3: It means you move differently, It means people have all 826 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 3: the notions about you without knowing you. It's hard to 827 00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:55,400 Speaker 3: be truly intimately known by anyone because you're so overly 828 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 3: perceived and quote unquote known to so many others. 829 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 4: So what is the trade off? What does the give 830 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:02,240 Speaker 4: and take? 831 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 3: Neither is right or wrong, but some. 832 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,799 Speaker 4: Would prefer one over the other. 833 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 3: Right, we are all here to have unique experiences, and 834 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,279 Speaker 3: ultimately it's all enough. So a couple I'm going to 835 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,279 Speaker 3: end with a couple definitions, and then I'm going to 836 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 3: have a little bit of soul work. But I want 837 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 3: to share with you some people that are my personal 838 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 3: muses that I think embody high levels of gifts and 839 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 3: mastery that also embodied humility and nothing was taken from 840 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 3: them when you look back at the end of their 841 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 3: lives and their work. 842 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 4: They did what they were here to do. 843 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 3: And they are celebrated for the way they made people 844 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 3: feel and for the consciousness that they grew for the collective, 845 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 3: for the world. So some of those figures to me 846 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 3: that represent like true power and humility, and some also 847 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,799 Speaker 3: include a lot of levels of fame and attention, either 848 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:12,800 Speaker 3: when they were alive or after they've passed, are Mahatma Gandhi, 849 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 3: known for his unwavering commitment to nonviolence. He used his 850 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,800 Speaker 3: influence not for personal gain, but to advance justice and freedom. 851 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:26,880 Speaker 3: Maya Angelou a poet and activist, a storyteller who was 852 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,920 Speaker 3: mostly so high regarded for her work after forty and 853 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,320 Speaker 3: into the sunset of her life and beyond, Her powerful 854 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 3: words resonated globally. Yet she carried herself with deep humility, 855 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,279 Speaker 3: and it was never about look at me. Who's looking 856 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,000 Speaker 3: about me? Is my work being seen and supported? 857 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 4: Who appreciates it? See me as great right? 858 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 3: Her life's work reflected a commitment to empowering others through wisdom, 859 00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:02,120 Speaker 3: through presence with self, through kindness, through grace. Albert Einstein 860 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,240 Speaker 3: huge historical figure. Despite being one of the greatest minds 861 00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:11,800 Speaker 3: in history, Einstein was known for his modesty. He's often 862 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 3: credited with his discoveries to his curiosity and his collaboration 863 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:22,799 Speaker 3: rather than his own genius. Nelson Mandela, my son's name 864 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 3: after him. Humility and resilience were evident in his leadership 865 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:32,840 Speaker 3: during and after his imprisonment. His approach to reconciliation in 866 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:37,920 Speaker 3: post apartheid South Africa. It reflected grace and an ability 867 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 3: to prioritize the greater good over personal vindication. One of 868 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 3: my favorites, Fred Rogers, mister Rogers hashtag goals for Me, 869 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,400 Speaker 3: known for his very gentle demeanor and dedication to children's 870 00:55:55,600 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 3: education and children's self love, carried himself with humility and 871 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 3: a deep sense of purpose. His legacy is a testament 872 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 3: to quiet, impactful leadership that changes generations from the inside out. 873 00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,400 Speaker 3: And I offer these really to share. It could be 874 00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,879 Speaker 3: very important as part of your process of being fully expressed, 875 00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,680 Speaker 3: especially now when the planet needs your gifts more than ever, 876 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 3: to really sit and create. Who are your muses, Who 877 00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:33,080 Speaker 3: are the people that you feel embody something that really 878 00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 3: feels like how you experience yourself on the inside, and 879 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 3: then look to them as the continued guides and inspiration 880 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,640 Speaker 3: to do the work that you do in the way 881 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,839 Speaker 3: that you are meant to do it. So a clear 882 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,520 Speaker 3: cut definition as we end this episode of humility is 883 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:58,279 Speaker 3: freedom from pride or arrogance, the quality or state of 884 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:02,759 Speaker 3: being humble. Some of the confusion I think may be 885 00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 3: around the origin of the Latin word humanlis which means low, 886 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:16,919 Speaker 3: but from the Latin Church humis means earth, which is grounding. 887 00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 3: So low to the ground doesn't necessarily mean small. It 888 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 3: means rooted, anchored. In old French word ummelite pronunciation way 889 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 3: off is humility is synonymous with a modesty, with the 890 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,920 Speaker 3: sweetness in other ways that it shared. It also represents 891 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 3: a quiet sense of knowing and an inner power. 892 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 4: Validation. 893 00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,920 Speaker 3: Let's get into the definition of that is an act 894 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:56,920 Speaker 3: or a process or an instance of validating to support 895 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 3: or corroborate on a sound or authoritative basis. So it's 896 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 3: to be receiving in a way that it's giving you 897 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 3: a feeling of something higher or bigger, gave you attention, 898 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 3: gave you validation, gave you a sense of being known. 899 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 3: To recognize, establish or illustrate the worthiness or the legitimacy 900 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 3: of It's really important to think about that, right, Like, 901 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,200 Speaker 3: if that is the core of the meaning of validation, 902 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:36,160 Speaker 3: to recognize, to establish or illustrate the worthiness or legitimacy 903 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 3: of it would be to say that without it, one 904 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 3: could be experiencing themselves as unworthy or not legitimate. So 905 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 3: if that's the case, investigate why and investigate what kind 906 00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,480 Speaker 3: of validation you're seeking, right Are you seeking for a 907 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:59,040 Speaker 3: theory or an idea to be validated by those in 908 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 3: your arena who are worthy of quantifying what it is 909 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:07,280 Speaker 3: that you have, or is it just desirous that you 910 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:13,520 Speaker 3: receive that from any and everything, any and everyone. Arrogance 911 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,960 Speaker 3: is defined as an attitude of superiority, manifested in an 912 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:23,960 Speaker 3: overbearing manner or in a presumptuous claim or assumption. People 913 00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:28,320 Speaker 3: are very presumptuous online, especially if you live the majority 914 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:34,320 Speaker 3: of your interactions with others as digital experiences. You don't 915 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 3: really know, right because there's not space to ask questions 916 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:41,360 Speaker 3: and there's not space to actually observe someone. You are 917 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:46,560 Speaker 3: observing how they interact with their digital world. It is 918 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 3: not the same as observing someone in their natural life 919 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,760 Speaker 3: and seeing how they flow in their unique life with 920 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,240 Speaker 3: the people that are in it. So we are being 921 00:59:56,440 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 3: very presumptuous and the way that we're perceiving people, and 922 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,880 Speaker 3: often times we're thinking our own inner feeling, which is 923 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:09,200 Speaker 3: rooted around our life experiences on what someone shares is 924 01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 3: the truth of who and what they are, and that 925 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,360 Speaker 3: can go on both ends of the spectrum. We are 926 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 3: seeing and I bring this up a lot for a reason, 927 01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 3: but we're seeing that so many influencers are being arrested 928 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:26,280 Speaker 3: for heinous things. You have these family influencers being arrested 929 01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 3: for abusing children or rehoming adopted children. We have people 930 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,160 Speaker 3: that are big TikTok influencers that. 931 01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 4: Are murdering people. 932 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:43,160 Speaker 3: Right And so it's like, really sit and think about 933 01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 3: what and why and how you perceive another and what 934 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 3: you think that means about them, and investigate what it 935 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 3: actually means about you. And now into one of the 936 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 3: final and most important definitions, which is insecurity, the quality 937 01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 3: state of being insecure, such as a feeling being in 938 01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:09,600 Speaker 3: the state of anxiety, fear, or self doubt, lacking dependability, 939 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:15,880 Speaker 3: lacking certainty, safety or protection. And the medieval Latin word 940 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 3: insecure us from the meaning not or without and free 941 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:27,560 Speaker 3: from care. That's what it is to feel insecure about 942 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 3: who and what you are. Just important and as with everything, 943 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 3: is a feeling that if you resonate with that can 944 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,520 Speaker 3: be changed, can be changed, can be changed. 945 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,320 Speaker 4: So as we get into the soul work of this episode. 946 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:46,120 Speaker 3: And thank you for another long form episode of talking 947 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 3: because that's what I do and that's how God designed me, 948 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 3: I want you to think about what all of this 949 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 3: is meant to you, and I want you to take 950 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,480 Speaker 3: a moment to journal, take some breaths and do a meditation, 951 01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:02,520 Speaker 3: which is just some silent ill presence with yourself around 952 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 3: how you relate to those words, the words humility, validation, insecurity. 953 01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:12,000 Speaker 3: How do you relate to the word personal power or empowerment? 954 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:16,120 Speaker 3: And again, the definitions can be so different for each 955 01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 3: of us, but it is important to recognize that we 956 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:25,760 Speaker 3: each have different definitions and then think about what is 957 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:31,160 Speaker 3: the archetype that you embody. Is it more so quiet, 958 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 3: graceful present power or is it passionate, big, bold power. 959 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:44,640 Speaker 4: Neither is better than the other. We're all just to a. 960 01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:49,760 Speaker 3: Design to experience those things differently.
