It's The Velvet's 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Edge podcast with Kelly Henderson. 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 2: Shawna Van Bogart is here with us today. She is 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: a self leadership expert with an intuition edge, which intuitive edge, 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 2: which I love. I loved tying them both together and 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: I wanted to tell the listeners just a full disclosure 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: about what happened yesterday because they know me and they 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: will appreciate this because I think it will give them 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: insight into the work that you do. But Shauna and 10 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 2: I were supposed to record yesterday and I was just 11 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: having one of those impath days, like I have been 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: going through a little bit of a release of some sort. 13 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: And for all my highly sensitive people who listen to 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: this podcast, you know that sometimes when you're in it, 15 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: it just like takes you out. And thankfully Shauna was 16 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 2: a person that I've felt comfortable enough, not even knowing, 17 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: but knowing what you do and kind of how you're 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: wired based on your website, I just thought you might understand, 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: So tell me what happened when I reached out to 20 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: you where you were. 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 3: Like, I get it, girl, I could definitely get this. 22 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 4: I was I knew exactly where you were at. We 23 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 4: had already done the photo reads, so honestly, I wouldn't 24 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 4: be surprised if it was a little bit tied together. Really, yeah, 25 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 4: because a lot of times when I do those reads 26 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 4: for women later, like two weeks later, they're like, I 27 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 4: don't know what happened, but I've been so emotional, and 28 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 4: I'm like, well, you're probably releasing. I just think the 29 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 4: power of being seen, oh yeah, on levels that like 30 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 4: other people don't typically see that inner world is really powerful. 31 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: Well, as you said that, my eyes started twitching, So 32 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: I think that you might be right. I've been having 33 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: this weird eye twitch, which I've learned in somatic therapy 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: is typically when emotions are ready to come out and 35 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: they're not quite releasing fully. So yeah, something you must 36 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: be saying to me is definitely resonating with my soul 37 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: for sure. 38 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 4: Well, we can't hide from it anymore if we get 39 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 4: called out on something, or we're yeah, like called out 40 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 4: in a good way, in a bad way, not bad 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 4: or whatever, you know, and so once something comes to 42 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 4: the surface, we kind of have to deal with it 43 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 4: and then things get old. 44 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're going to talk about the photo rat 45 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: in a second, because I told you before the podcast 46 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: I find this skill set of yours so fascinating. But first, 47 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: just will you tell the listeners what is a self 48 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: leadership expert? 49 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? 50 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 4: So, I have been in the field of working with 51 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 4: people for over fifteen years and this is a term 52 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 4: that exists. I did not make it up, but it 53 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 4: is the best term that I have found presently to 54 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 4: capture what I do, and that's really to help people 55 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 4: have the best relationship they can have with themselves, because 56 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: I believe that to be kind of the core facet 57 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 4: of performance. And so I work with women that are 58 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 4: high performers, high achievers in various different careers, usually CEOs, 59 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 4: some form of leader, and they very much understand in 60 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 4: value in inside out approach to getting results in their life. 61 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 4: So I'm kind of the person who gets their inside 62 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 4: world fine tuned for those next levels. 63 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: What do you mean an inside out approach. 64 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 4: Crafting and honing your inner world, your attitudes, your beliefs, 65 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 4: your energy systems, you know, operating from your intuition and 66 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 4: kind of like the more masculine energies which are drive 67 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 4: and determination, anything having to do with limiting beliefs, healing 68 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 4: anything that happens on the inside, because we know that 69 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 4: our you know, subconscious system is driving most of our 70 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 4: decision making and our actions. And we pride the mind 71 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 4: and the power power of thinking, but the reality is 72 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 4: we have this really sophisticated subconscious system that really tries 73 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 4: to protect us, and unfortunately, protecting us oftentimes means stifling, minimizing, 74 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 4: not allowing ourselves to be in our desire, chasing our goals. 75 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 4: So I'm really working with women on this mind but 76 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 4: also the mind below the neck, which is all of 77 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 4: it that happens on the inside. 78 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll also get into that a little bit because 79 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: I then we're going to talk a little bit about 80 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: the feminine energy. But what I want to know about 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: what happened in your life because you mentioned to me 82 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: that you used to do image consulting, similar to some 83 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: of the stuff that I do. So what was it 84 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: when you were working in that world that kind of 85 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: led you into this knowing that people needed to reconnect 86 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: with themselves. 87 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 4: Well, I loved knowing and seeing how we could use 88 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 4: these built in tools to get things, Like from a 89 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 4: really young age, I was always observing how you know, 90 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 4: if you wore this, you know, you'd be more attractive 91 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 4: or if you had this body language or this communication style. 92 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 4: So that interest was always innate. And then when I 93 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 4: discovered image consulting as a career, I was very I 94 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: was like twenty one twenty two. I was like, this 95 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 4: is amazing, and this is the perfect place for my 96 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 4: skill sets. And I kept bumping up against the dynamic 97 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 4: of humans, which is, okay, we can do everything to 98 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 4: change the exterior. But I found categories of people, one 99 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 4: where my clients would take the external results and they 100 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 4: would stick, and then the other group of people where 101 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 4: we could change everything, but they still looked in the 102 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: mirror and they couldn't integrate, and it would just break 103 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 4: my heart because they couldn't see what I saw, which 104 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: was like, it's not about you know, the trendy close. 105 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 4: It was that we just spent all this investment perfecting 106 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 4: a look, in a style and an image that was 107 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 4: for you uniquely, and they just couldn't step into it. 108 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 4: And so for me, I just couldn't explore, like, what 109 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 4: is that about what's going on underneath there that would 110 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: make a woman be able to shift into a version 111 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 4: of herself that she feels lit up when she sees 112 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 4: herself in the mirror and then this other category. So 113 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 4: that just kind of like took me deeper, like quite 114 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 4: literally down to the subconscious system where I did hypnotherapy 115 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 4: certifications and all of that and brought me here. So 116 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 4: it just was a curiosity of like what is underneath 117 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 4: all of that? 118 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, I identify with that so much, so many times 119 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: because I only work with men now, which is kind 120 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: of an interesting skill set as well, and so many 121 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: times people are asking me like, do men really even 122 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: need that much? And I'm like, no, they need so 123 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: much you would be so surprised. But what I've realized 124 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 2: as I've gotten older and kind of getting more clarity 125 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 2: on the exact job that I do, a lot of 126 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 2: what I bring is focus more on the internal beauty 127 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: stuff with them and like the comfort level, helping them 128 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: see themselves in the way that they feel their best 129 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: to walk onto these big stages, and so much of 130 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: it is an inside job. You're so right, Like, obviously 131 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: we do the outside thing, but you're not going to 132 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 2: be able to experience it in its full capacity unless 133 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: you're dialed in on the inside. 134 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's it's I hate to be like 135 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 4: it's a vibe, but it is no totally. You can 136 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 4: look great, but there's something that emanates off someone when 137 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 4: they're really embodied in their confidence. It's not an exterior 138 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 4: confidence because they they look great. I mean, this was 139 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 4: something that I kind of had to like cross my 140 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 4: own bridge. I had a lot of confidence from a 141 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 4: young age, but my self esteem, which is different than confidence, 142 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 4: was not always where it is now. And so, you know, 143 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 4: people were always surprised to find out that I had 144 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 4: all this inner turmoil that I had to deal with 145 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: because I was so confident. And I find like a 146 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 4: lot of the women that I work with, these like 147 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 4: incredibly high performing, talented women, they have a tremendous amount 148 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 4: of confidence, but inside there's not this alignment with that. 149 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: That's I guess a pure flow of what I kind 150 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 4: of feel it and sense it has energy, and so 151 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 4: it just kind of makes everything unnecessarily harder for themselves 152 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: because they can't see how brilliant they are because their 153 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 4: inner world is in knots. 154 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: Wait, what is the difference between confidence and self esteem? 155 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: I would have never thought those were separate. 156 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, confidence is definitely more of an external thing. You 157 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 4: can use tools and resources to step into confidence a 158 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 4: lot easier than you can self esteem. Self esteem is 159 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 4: definitely an inside game, I would I would, I would 160 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 4: say that it's very similar to like self worthiness. There's 161 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 4: a lot of confident people walking around that don't feel worthy. 162 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 4: So once an exterior game. You can use resources and 163 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 4: tools to increase confidence. You can use tactics, you can 164 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 4: use you know again, body language, image, all of those 165 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 4: things to appear confident, and then self esteem is definitely 166 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 4: more on the inside. But how do you feel about 167 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 4: yourself afterwards during before you perform? 168 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: Oh my god, that just clicked, because that's the thing. 169 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: Like if you think about during COVID times, a lot 170 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: of our lives changed completely, and I remember talking to 171 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: a lot of people saying, I just don't even know 172 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: who I am right now because you know, our jobs 173 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: went away or whatever. So I'm assuming the confidence comes 174 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: from the job, the job title, the thing that we're 175 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: putting out there. But then when all of it's stripped away, 176 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 2: how do you actually feel about yourself? 177 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I mean, and that's that's the identity crisis 178 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 4: that I bump up against. With women, they have been 179 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 4: valued for their work, yea, they feel the most confident 180 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 4: in their work, and then they associate that with self esteem. 181 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 4: But then when they're not at work, that's where this 182 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 4: imbalance is, and it's almost like they don't they're really 183 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 4: hard on themselves, and so it drives them to be 184 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 4: workaholics because okay, well, let me go to the environment 185 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 4: where I do feel valued and I feel like I'm thriving, 186 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 4: but they're burned out. 187 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 2: Of course, you know, yeah, but of course they want 188 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 2: to chase the validation. I mean that is literally the 189 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: human condition, right totally. 190 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 4: And it's not about not savoring and applauding and having 191 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: that validation externally. I mean, savor it, but you also 192 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 4: need to be able to relax when you take the 193 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 4: vacation you've earned. You also need to be okay not 194 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 4: being at work and feeling like you're still valued and 195 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 4: worthwhile and that you deserve your peace and your rest. 196 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 4: That's where I find a lot of women, unless they're 197 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 4: productive or you know, focused on output or whatever, they 198 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 4: have a really hard time just receiving oh yeah, being 199 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 4: taken care of. Like it's a really big struggle for women. 200 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: I mean, you keep saying women, and I'm like me 201 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: that it's a really big struggle for me. Everything you're 202 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 2: saying I identify with so fully. That has exactly been 203 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: my story, and I definitely know a lot of my 204 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 2: friends we share. 205 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 3: That as well. 206 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: And you do you keep chasing the thing, and especially 207 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: in this day and age, that's just how we're rewarded. 208 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: So it's so easy to get wrapped up in that, 209 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: and a lot of times my friends and I try 210 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 2: to say to each other, yeah, but you're amazing and loving, 211 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: like worthy of love because you woke up today just 212 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: because you're breathing, not because you did X, Y and 213 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 2: Z award show or whatever, you know, And it is true. 214 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: It's like the more success you get, you almost have 215 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: to keep yourself in check even more with it. 216 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: You do, because it's a little bit of a drug. 217 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, hold it like. 218 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 4: Achievement addiction, and you know you're gonna just keep challenging 219 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 4: yourself for more and more and more. But the burn 220 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 4: is real short. You know, you only get a high 221 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 4: off of it, like very briefly. It's law of diminishing returns. 222 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 4: And so then it's almost like somewhere along the lines, 223 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 4: your motivation and purpose has to shift, I believe, Okay, 224 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 4: not just about valuing and priding yourself on what you 225 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 4: can achieve. But you know, not to be cliche, but 226 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 4: how do you feel on the journey? You know? And 227 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 4: then how do you feel when you're not achieving? Because 228 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 4: what's the point of achieving if you also can't reap 229 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 4: the rewards? Like if you built this beautiful house and 230 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 4: you spent all of this time, money, and energy building 231 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 4: this house, it's like you did that, and then you're 232 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 4: not allowing yourself to walk through the front door and 233 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 4: enjoy it. And it's almost like women build these amazing 234 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 4: things for themselves and cross these milestones, but then they 235 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 4: don't enjoy and reap the rewards of it. They just 236 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 4: jump back into the next achievement. 237 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: Right, because there's always a next level, there's always someone 238 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: doing something more totally. 239 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 4: And then at what point does that just become miserable, 240 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 4: which it does for long and they're like, I should 241 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 4: be happy, And then they double down on the self 242 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 4: judgment because they're like, I have so much, I should 243 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 4: be happy. So then they try to force themselves into 244 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 4: gratitude when they don't. They haven't been able to allow 245 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 4: themselves to really like receive and a lot of that's 246 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 4: the work that I do with women is increasing that 247 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 4: capacity to receive. It's okay, like, and I don't mean 248 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 4: up here we get it theoretically. I mean to these 249 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 4: subconscious systems that are very very very much built on 250 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 4: productivity and output and laxation is lazy, and I mean 251 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 4: it's we just exist in that, especially in the United States. 252 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: Isn't it funny because so many women in my life, 253 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: especially the ones who are trying to balance the motherhood 254 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: and the work situation, because I know that is so 255 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: much complain about no one doing anything. You know, it's 256 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: the complaint of like, well, I have to do everything anyway. 257 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: But then the second someone tries to step in and 258 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: do something, they have a really hard time is what 259 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 2: I've noticed, of just accepting it. And then they're still 260 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 2: trying to micromanage. And I'm like, yo, you just said 261 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: you need someone to help you, but we have a 262 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: really hard time allowing that help to come. 263 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 4: Yep, that's that's what I'm talking about. These are systems 264 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 4: that exist below the neck down in the subconscious system 265 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 4: that have been running not just in your lifetime but 266 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 4: for generations and as much as we understand and you know, 267 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 4: I'm a very independent I have no problem delegating. I mean, 268 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 4: I consider myself like I teach this stuff, and I 269 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 4: still fall into those tendencies. It's very deeply ingrained in 270 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 4: women that we cannot stop, we cannot rest, and if 271 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 4: we are to rest, we better make sure that we 272 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 4: earned it. We better make sure that we can justify it. 273 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 3: God that is Yeah. 274 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: I'm just promising it all because I really identify, especially. 275 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 3: What I just said at the beginning of the podcast. 276 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 2: The last couple of days, like I have needed to 277 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: emotionally release something, yeah, and I have had so much 278 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 2: shame about that because it doesn't it's not like you 279 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: can say to your system, yo, it's a Monday. 280 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 3: I don't have to talk for this like it. 281 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: It would be really nice if we only took rest 282 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: or needed rest on the weekends, but that's not the 283 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 2: way that life works. And if you're really like listening 284 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: to your body sometimes it's it's not on a schedule 285 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: like that. It's not convenient. I guess no, it's not. 286 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 4: And we do have to work around this confined if 287 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 4: we're not going to build a life that allows for 288 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 4: that flexibility, which you've kind of built a life where allowed. 289 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 4: Same with me. I've allowed for that flexibility, but that's 290 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 4: that's not the reality for a lot of people. No, 291 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 4: you really have to you know, you have to build 292 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 4: that time out otherwise, Yeah, you're going to look back 293 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 4: someday or if you're if you are right now, you're 294 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 4: waking up being like where am I? Who am I? 295 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 4: How did I get here? Okay? 296 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 3: Who am I? 297 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: You just said the perfect transition for me for the 298 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 2: next thing I want to talk to you about, because 299 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: we're talking about self worth and on your website, I 300 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: love that you say, remember who you are, not far yourself? Like, 301 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 2: remember who you are? But what's the difference between remembering 302 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: who you are and finding yourself? 303 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 4: So I believe at our core, you know, we come 304 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 4: into this life with some nature, of course, but there's 305 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 4: a lot of conditioning that's stacked on top of that, 306 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 4: and the conditioning of our childhood, even as pleasant as 307 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 4: it may have been, kind of sets the context for 308 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 4: this worldview. And one of the things that we have 309 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 4: to remember, and this comes from doctor gaber Matte speaks 310 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 4: a lot on this, but there are two needs as 311 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 4: children growing up. We have attachment in authenticity and authenticity 312 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 4: for a child is when they feel an instinct like 313 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 4: an emotion or a feeling like they want a cookie 314 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 4: that's authentic to them in that moment, and if the 315 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 4: parent says no or something or you know, takes it 316 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 4: to an extreme reaction or something, right, the child will 317 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 4: shut down their authenticity to keep and preserve the attachment. 318 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 3: Okay. 319 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 4: And so when you've had a childhood that is full 320 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 4: of a lot of dismissal or minimization or trauma or abuse, 321 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 4: then a child will continue to sacrifice their authenticity, which 322 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 4: is their instinct, their intuition, which we'll talk about later, 323 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 4: their instincts, their gut urges, and they will do everything 324 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 4: they can to preserve attachment. And as a culture in 325 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 4: a society like the fear of abandonment is the core 326 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 4: fear we all share, yep. And so when I talk 327 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 4: about remembering who used to be, it's before all of 328 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 4: that conditioning that told you you have to be a 329 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 4: certain way, you have to behave a certain way, you 330 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 4: have to stifle certain emotions. You can't trust your intuition 331 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 4: and in order to fit in and especially with women 332 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 4: and men, because we have both energy systems. But that 333 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 4: intuitive piece is so important, and most people have shut 334 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 4: that down because it's just not been allowed and it's 335 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 4: one of the first things that gets sacrificed. So when 336 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 4: I talk about coming back to yourself, to me, it's 337 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 4: a return to our natural state, the. 338 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 2: Way you were before the programming started, before you started 339 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: self sacrificing. 340 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 3: Yep, okay, yeah. 341 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 4: And a lot of the work that I do with 342 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 4: women is we'll go back to these very specific milestone 343 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 4: moments where something may have happened. We all have those 344 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 4: kind of core memories and it might be again, it 345 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 4: doesn't have to be like traumatic. It could just be being 346 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 4: made fun of in middle school, but for whatever reason, 347 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 4: it hits you. And we shelve parts of ourself when 348 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 4: that stuff happens. And so there's the healing process of 349 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 4: going back in like healing our trauma, but there's also 350 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 4: a reclaiming process where we go back and pick up 351 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 4: what I call like these little bits of gold, these 352 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 4: pieces of ourselves that were our authentic facets that we say, 353 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 4: this isn't a louder, this doesn't help me, let me 354 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 4: put it back. So you know, there's healing, but then 355 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 4: there's also like we need the past versions of ourselves 356 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 4: because they hold our authenticity. 357 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm assuming once you start learning those kind 358 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 2: of things are leaning back into those kind of things, 359 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: that's going to build the self worth inside as well. 360 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, we'll circle. 361 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, let's talk a little bit about the work 362 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 2: that you do specifically, and so we can get into 363 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 2: the intuition stuff. But what we've mentioned a couple of 364 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 2: times is that you did a photo read for me. Yeah, 365 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: and I was like, what is this? Literally, she sends 366 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: me an email almost like send me five pictures of 367 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 2: yourself And I was like, do what? 368 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: Like? 369 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just interesting, but you said and I 370 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: need to be able to see your eyes. So okay, 371 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 2: first of all, will you describe to the listeners what 372 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 2: you do with a photo read? And then second of all, 373 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: how did you figure out that you can do this? 374 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really bizarre. So okay, what a photo read is? 375 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 4: I ask for five recent photos, like in the past 376 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 4: two weeks, and the photos. Actually, you are just a 377 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 4: little bit of a connection gateway for me to be 378 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 4: able to en mesh I guess with your space, with 379 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 4: who you are, and from that I have a keen 380 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,959 Speaker 4: ability to kind of happen, and since what's going on 381 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 4: in your inner world? Now, Sometimes I'll get other information 382 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 4: that is about a person in your life or whatever, 383 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 4: and I can never predict that that just happens. But 384 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 4: mainly it's showing you where you might be hiding from yourself, 385 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 4: any blind spots that you have. I can see your potential. 386 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 4: I can see wounding. Sometimes I can see which side, 387 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 4: you know, did it come from the father, did it 388 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 4: come from the mother? Like you know, I'm just very 389 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 4: in tune with people's energy and their emotional system and 390 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 4: their subconscious system. And it's a combination of all the 391 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 4: work and the education that I've done. But I also 392 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 4: think I'm just highly intuitive. 393 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you've obviously tapped into yours. 394 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 395 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 2: So when you're operating in the world, how do you 396 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 2: not just walk around and like, can you ever make 397 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 2: eye contact with people? 398 00:19:52,600 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, I really have to. It's a it's almost 399 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 4: like a brain wave state that I have to get in. 400 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 4: I mean, we by nature are judgmental beings, Thank goodness, 401 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 4: because it's a shortcut to live our lives. Otherwise it 402 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 4: would be everything would feel hard. So we have to 403 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 4: be judgmental. When I do this I quite literally pull 404 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 4: the photos up on my screen. I look at them 405 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 4: for anywhere between ten to sometimes a minute. That's a 406 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 4: really long time for me. Then I turn my camera 407 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 4: on and I just speak as you saw it, like, 408 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 4: and I just record into the video with your photos 409 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 4: up for twenty minutes and send it to you. So 410 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 4: I don't do anything before. I just literally tap in 411 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 4: and it just flows. And so for me, I have 412 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 4: to be in a headspace that is completely non judgmental. 413 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 4: I'm really removed from my personal preferences. And that's impossible 414 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 4: to do in a day to day basis because I 415 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 4: want to be in my experience. I want to be 416 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 4: enjoying my life, and like you know, so I really 417 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 4: do have to turn it on. Now. There are sometimes 418 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 4: where yeah, you just to me, it's kind of like 419 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 4: I you can see people's hair color, and like there's 420 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 4: sort of public domain and energy that comes off of people, 421 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 4: like and we do it. I just don't think women 422 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 4: are owning it as intuition, but like when you're around someone, 423 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 4: they have a feeling to them, like there's a sense 424 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 4: about them that's intuition. I've just learned how to go 425 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 4: into deeper levels of it. So we all kind of 426 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 4: have this essence that comes off of us, and I've 427 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 4: just learned how to see it in really nuanced ways. 428 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 2: That makes sense to me because something I'm starting to 429 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 2: embrace about myself is a feeling I'll get, like I 430 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 2: will be around a person and I won't know why. 431 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: I know this is going to sound simple to people, 432 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 2: but it's so specific when I'm in the moment. It's 433 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 2: like they won't even have to say a word, and 434 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 2: someone can walk in and I either have a good 435 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: feeling or a bad feeling, and it is a very 436 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 2: like I can try to talk myself out of it, 437 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: but my initial feeling is always the thing that ends 438 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 2: up being true years later, even like I can try 439 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: to convince myself to like someone and then it's something 440 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 2: will end up blowing up in my life in that relationship, 441 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 2: and I go gud, that first initial thought was always right. 442 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 2: But it's a feeling for me. It's like a knowing 443 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 2: in my body now that's been studied. Actually, so back 444 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 2: in image consulting, what intrigued me about image consulting was 445 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: not so much like the styling and all that. It 446 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 2: was the art of first impressions, oh okay. So really, 447 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 2: as an image consultant, you're working a lot with the 448 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 2: first impression, and you know, when they've done studies on this, 449 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 2: it is true that usually our first gut instinct is 450 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: the correct one over time, so it usually doesn't change. 451 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 4: But most people, I mean, we have that gut reaction. 452 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 4: Most people shut that down so fast and then they 453 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 4: come back. They it just gets flooded with all this 454 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 4: other stimulation that we either miss it or we talk 455 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 4: ourselves out of it, and then you know, yeah, we 456 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 4: miss red flags perhaps. 457 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I'm starting to now say to 458 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 2: myself the second I feel like I don't try to 459 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: make it make sense. I used to try to make 460 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: it make sense, and it's like, no, I'm not gonna 461 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: understand it because this is such a deeper sensing thing 462 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: I'm getting with this person's energy, and so those those 463 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: things are not going to present themselves to way later 464 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: down the road, if that person is even still on 465 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 2: the life. Now, I'm sort of like, if I get 466 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 2: the ick, I'm like out. 467 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 4: Yep, yep. And that's why I like, I have been 468 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 4: doing this all my life, I think because I didn't 469 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 4: understand it was intuition. I just thought, I'm an incredibly 470 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 4: aware of person and this is a first impression thing. 471 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 4: I mean, I think it just was very like scientific 472 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 4: in my mind. 473 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 3: Yeah. 474 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 4: It wasn't like some thing I don't know. 475 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 3: So that makes sense. 476 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 4: It just was like, yeah, I just read people. Well. Now, 477 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 4: the discernment that comes over time in practice, is is 478 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 4: it because the person's having a bad moment or is 479 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 4: it because there's something about character that is not blending 480 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 4: with my system? Right? So, you know, because our first 481 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 4: impression can definitely be like we just got pulled over 482 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 4: by the cops, We're having a bad day, like whatever, right, 483 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 4: and so it could be circumstantial, not an actual character thing, 484 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 4: but discerning that just comes from a tremendous amount of practice. 485 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I have clarity online. 486 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. 487 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 2: Another thing you say on your website is be who 488 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: you need to be so you can do what you 489 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: came here to. 490 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 3: Do, which I loved. 491 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,959 Speaker 2: And I think when we were talking about intuition, it 492 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 2: is an easy thing to kind of go, oh, whatever, yeah, 493 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: or I'm not even that intuitive, you know, and everyone 494 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 2: has intuition, is what I'm always trying to say on 495 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: this podcast. And one of the things that you brought 496 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 2: up to me yesterday when I asked you, you know, 497 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 2: really what you wanted to talk about was to help 498 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 2: that you're really your big purpose right now feels like 499 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 2: helping women cultivate this inner knowing for themselves and just 500 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 2: how that is really tied to reaching our goals and 501 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 2: having like peak performance. 502 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 3: So why do we need. 503 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: To be who we need to be so we can 504 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 2: do what we need to do? 505 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 4: First of all, it's easier, and second of all, when 506 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 4: we claim, well, there's sort of like the general facets, right, 507 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 4: there's for women we need to claim this intuitive piece. 508 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 4: But then there's uniquely what is your expression to the world, 509 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 4: and that was unique to every single person. And usually 510 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 4: we can't get to the second one without the first 511 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 4: one because what shuts intuition down is reasoning, structure, facts, data, 512 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 4: And as you said earlier, intuition is very nonsensical. It's 513 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 4: knowing without knowing, and you have to be okay not 514 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 4: making sense of things. You just have to trust and 515 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 4: follow it. In some of the best inventors, leaders, innovators 516 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 4: in the world, they don't know why, they just feel 517 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 4: this is the right move to make, or this was 518 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,959 Speaker 4: the right thing to create, you know, like and then 519 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 4: the context comes after the fact, so you know, and 520 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 4: then especially when you get into performance. One of my 521 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 4: mentors years ago, when I was in this performance certification, 522 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 4: she was talking about fighter pilots in the Air Force 523 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 4: and how they ranked really high on intuition and how 524 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 4: you would find that really almost counterintuitive. You think they 525 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 4: would be high on logic and reasoning and all of 526 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 4: that to fly an airplane. And they were like, no, 527 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 4: we have to be in tu to we're moving so fast, 528 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 4: we have to be in flow. You have to be 529 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 4: able to not only follow those instincts, but but trust 530 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 4: them so that you can follow them. So if you 531 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 4: want flow, and if you're here to perform and you're 532 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 4: here to do big things, at some point you're going 533 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 4: to have to own that intuitive piece because it's where 534 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 4: creativity lives, it's where ideas live. And you know, you 535 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 4: can't follow someone else's template into greatness. You've got to 536 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 4: carve your own path. 537 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 2: Oo, if I've tried that one, it doesn't work, just 538 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 2: doesn't work. Go you really can't. It's like, actually you can't. 539 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 2: So do men have the same level of intuition as women? 540 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 4: They do. They just don't. I would argue it doesn't 541 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 4: come as innate to them. 542 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 3: Okay, but they do. 543 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 4: I think, you know, when we talk about the masculine feminine, 544 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 4: it's not gender based. It's more like the energy systems 545 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 4: right as humans, we embody both. It's more of a 546 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 4: harmonizing you know. It's not like a fifty to fifty 547 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 4: that we're looking for. It's more like having the right harmony. 548 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 4: And then we all have our unique style on top 549 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 4: of that, you know. And so you'll see men with 550 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 4: an incredible amount and women with an incredible amount of 551 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 4: drive and like, you know, discipline and structure in all 552 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 4: of that. And it's not that they're not using their intuition, 553 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 4: but if they were to go, you know what, there's 554 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 4: something to this intuitive piece that would allow me to 555 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,719 Speaker 4: perform faster, fly, higher, move quicker, you know, whatever it is, 556 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 4: they have the same ability that we do as women 557 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 4: to step into that. I don't know if it's as 558 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 4: well received as it is in women, because women instinctually 559 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 4: are When you think of intuition, usually a woman pops 560 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 4: into your mind, not a man. Yeah, so I think 561 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 4: men have just counted themselves out. But and by nature 562 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 4: of that. You know, it's hard to say, like because 563 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 4: they've counted themselves out of the stereotype of what we 564 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 4: associate with that word, they haven't cultivated it or are 565 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 4: they built in a way where they are at a 566 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 4: little bit of a deficit. I don't know the answer 567 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 4: to that. But everyone can cultivate it, and everyone has 568 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 4: the ability to be intuitive. 569 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 2: Also, wonder if it's like if if it's based on 570 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 2: different things, like maybe women can tap into more emotional intuition. 571 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: Men are more instinctual, like you were talking about in 572 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: the plane, like more the survivor instinct, the like fight 573 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: or flight, the protecting from predators. I don't know, I'm 574 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 2: just thinking through like the difference between the maskulin and women. 575 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 4: In Yeah, for sure. And I think it's also the 576 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 4: amount of safety you carry with you in your system 577 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 4: to be authentic. 578 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 579 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 4: Again, if you've had a childhood where you've had to 580 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 4: minimize yourself and like you know, feel small, then usually 581 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 4: intuition is one of the first things that goes. And 582 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 4: so for men or women, if they have any kind 583 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 4: of dynamics like that, first you have to repair the self. 584 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 3: Trust God, that is so true. 585 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: I genuine like, I had an experience with a person 586 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 2: last week that I'm in a relationship with that he 587 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: said to me when I reacted to this, which was 588 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: a really good reaction. When we first were having a 589 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 2: certain conversation, he totally chose based on intuition, and it 590 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 2: was such a healing emotion, like a beautiful conversation. 591 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. 592 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: And then a week later we reconnected about that same 593 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 2: conversation and he started bringing in the narratives from his childhood. 594 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 3: The like structure he thought he should. 595 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 2: Say, trying to figure out the right thing to say, 596 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 2: and it was a disaster of a conversation. So it's 597 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 2: so interesting that we can just intuitively feel how to 598 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: be with each other and we end up getting ourselves 599 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 2: into trouble, like talking ourselves out of the actual beauty 600 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 2: between each other. 601 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 4: See that's the self leadership piece right there, is like, Okay, 602 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 4: you're getting these hits, like women are getting these men 603 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 4: are getting these hits. Yeah, are they following them? And 604 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 4: there's so many reasons we interrupt the flow of those 605 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 4: and you know, part of it is self trust, but 606 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 4: also you know, because it's nonsensical. I'll tell a brief 607 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 4: story when I was pregnant with my daughter. I had 608 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 4: a dream during second trimester she was going to be breach. 609 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 4: And so then when they told me at about thirty 610 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 4: four thirty five weeks she's breach, I was like, okay, 611 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 4: well expected that and here goes and you know, we 612 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 4: were on a path of natural childbirth whatever, and so 613 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 4: they encouraged me to go do all these things. So 614 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 4: I did all the things to try to get her 615 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 4: to turn, and I just was like, I don't think 616 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 4: she's going to turn. And they wanted me to do 617 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 4: this ECV procedure, which is where the doctor, you like, 618 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 4: go in and they prep you as if you may 619 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 4: need an emergency C section, but the doctor will manually 620 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 4: try to turn the baby. And I've heard it's very painful, 621 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 4: like in your stomach. And they were really encouraging me 622 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 4: to do that because if they could get her to turn, 623 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 4: then I could stay the path. And I was like, listen, 624 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 4: I'm a flexible person. I'm not so rigidly holding to this. 625 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 4: And I was like, it is it, and I'm running 626 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 4: this through my system right and intuitively, I'm like, she's 627 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 4: not going to turn. She's not going to turn, And 628 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 4: so I went back and I said, I'm going to 629 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 4: stick with just having the csarean, And I could see 630 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 4: the look of disappointment from the midwife and the nurse 631 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 4: in the room, and she was not coming down on me, 632 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 4: but I could tell that she really wanted me to 633 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 4: try it. And in that moment, I'm like, who am I. 634 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 4: I'm not an authority, I'm not a nurse, and here's 635 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 4: this person who knows better. And that happens a lot 636 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 4: in our lives. Is like the experts come in and 637 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 4: they tell us, you know, and so yet we want 638 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 4: to trust people, and there is a balance to that. 639 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 4: For sure. Self leadership is about having that really fine 640 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 4: line of discernment to go, I know you're an expert, 641 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 4: and this doesn't take anything away from you being an expert, 642 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 4: but I got to trust me here. And so then 643 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 4: when we delivered, the doctor was like, oh, I want 644 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 4: to have been able to turn her. She had one 645 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 4: foot stuck in my pelvis in one foot up doing 646 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 4: the splits, and so I was like, it was like 647 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 4: the first rite of passage into motherhood, like mother's intuition. 648 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,959 Speaker 4: I'm like, we didn't do that, but it was I 649 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 4: almost turned back around and went back in there and said, 650 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 4: you know what, I'm gonna trust you and go do it. 651 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 4: It takes a lot of conviction to stick to that, knowing. 652 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 2: It really does, and that you would have just suffered 653 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 2: through something painful to note all you want it either. 654 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 4: It's so traumatic for both of us. 655 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 3: Exactly. 656 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. 657 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 3: Crazy. 658 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 2: So you've talked about high achieving women, which I have 659 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 2: always been taught that when we are in our high 660 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 2: achieving state and we're really like, are a lot of 661 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 2: women who get into like a high business place start 662 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 2: operating from their masculine and so it's like getting back 663 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: in touch with our women's intuition, our feminine energy and 664 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 2: all that stuff. But now we're talking about that both 665 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 2: men and women have intuition, So can you kind of 666 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: navigate that for me? Like, how if we're in a 667 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 2: masculine place in our work world, why do we need 668 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: to go back into the feminine or why are we 669 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: not able to tap into our intuition if we're in 670 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 2: the masculine? 671 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 3: I don't know. Am I making sense with that? 672 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 4: Yeah? I think I'm following you with that, Like why 673 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 4: the need to hone both systems? 674 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? 675 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 4: Like why so anything taken to its extreme will become 676 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 4: its opposite. So if anyone is too extreme in their drive, 677 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 4: drive starts to become stubbornness or rigidity, okay, And the 678 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 4: way to harmonize that so that you don't fall into 679 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 4: the trap of being a workaholic and burn out. And frankly, 680 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 4: when you're driving from that place, you're in such a 681 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 4: contracted state of sheer will power. There's no creativity flow there, 682 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 4: so you're probably not honestly thinking the best for the 683 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 4: state of growth for the stakeholders involved in the growth 684 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 4: of the company. It's sheer production, and there's a time 685 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 4: and a place for sheer production, and then there's a 686 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 4: time and a place for growth and creativity. But if 687 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 4: you are like driving and disciplined and highly structured in 688 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 4: all of this, it leaves very little room for flexibility 689 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 4: to pivot and to innovate. And so when we talk 690 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 4: about leadership, you really need both sides of the coin otherwise, 691 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 4: you know. And then on the other side, if you 692 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 4: don't have any drive or I put purpose in the 693 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 4: masculine category as well, if you don't have the discipline 694 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 4: and you're all just intuition, you're just kind of like 695 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,959 Speaker 4: going over here and going over here and going over here, 696 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 4: you know, like then the structure is not there to 697 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 4: support the growth. So either way it has to be 698 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 4: harmonized correctly, otherwise it's going to become a limitation. 699 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 2: And so the okay, so it's basically learning how to 700 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 2: do the drive, have that balance, but then also take 701 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 2: a step back, pat back in, really remember who you are, 702 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 2: the motivations, the creativity, all of that stuff will start flowing. 703 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, and even I work with a lot 704 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 4: of business owners, and so for them, it's so easy 705 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 4: to fall into the trap of thinking that it has 706 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 4: to look like this a steady growth. That's not how 707 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 4: it looks. 708 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 2: It looks like this, yeah, or the court screw is 709 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 2: the one I always do, like up and down, And 710 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 2: that's just life. 711 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 4: It's just the way it's going to go. And you know, 712 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 4: for me, I've had many seasons in my career. Some 713 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 4: are highly productive and it's a lot about structure. And 714 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,919 Speaker 4: then to me, it just kind of feels like weather, 715 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 4: Like weather comes in and I can just sniff it 716 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 4: out and I can tell time to step back, and 717 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 4: it's a season of almost regrouping and auditing and like 718 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 4: loowing down and maybe taking a down year in revenue 719 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 4: because to have the next big stage, I have to 720 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 4: have the space to regroup. There's a famous like adage 721 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 4: or metaphor about you know, shooting the arrow, and for 722 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 4: the arrow to have momentum, you have to pull it 723 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 4: back first. And there's an honoring of the seasons that 724 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 4: has to occur that I think sometimes women can struggle 725 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 4: with because again, stepping back to them looks like, oh 726 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 4: my gosh, I'm killing my momentum. 727 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 728 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, But to conceive and create the next big stage 729 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 4: it's equally as important. 730 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,479 Speaker 2: That's the hard part, because that's what we talked about 731 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 2: at the beginning, where if if you're in the pullbacks eight, 732 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 2: you're trying to rest and relax, recoup all the things 733 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 2: we shame ourselves. 734 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, we do. 735 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,879 Speaker 3: It's like a constant cycle we do. 736 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk a little bit more about the other 737 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 2: things that you do. You've mentioned a couple of times 738 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 2: of high achieving women, and so I know there's a 739 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 2: business mentorship also paradigm shifts. 740 00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 3: So can you talk. 741 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 2: Through what both of those mean if people would be 742 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 2: interested in working with you? 743 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, So everything we've talked about here without going like 744 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,760 Speaker 4: too technical. It's like we can live in a paradigm 745 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 4: of worthiness or not, and a paradigm is a pattern. 746 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 4: And it's like again that worldview that gets set when 747 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 4: we're little and then it gets reinforced by our culture. 748 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 4: And for my audience of women, most of them live 749 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 4: in this paradigm of I've got to earn it. It's 750 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 4: got to be a struggle. If I didn't do it myself, 751 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 4: it doesn't count. You know, everything we've talked about, that's 752 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 4: a paradigm that they live in and it doesn't have 753 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 4: to be that way. So part of breaking out of 754 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 4: any kind of pattern is you have to pause, because 755 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 4: if you don't pause, then the pattern just keeps replicating itself. 756 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 4: And so the platform which you can find at start 757 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 4: Pausing dot com, the gateway to that would be this 758 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 4: five day mental reset, which is to really help women 759 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 4: who know they're in their heads too much, who know 760 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 4: that they maybe have a tendency to be like perfectionistic 761 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 4: and overly driven and they can't relax, you know, to 762 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 4: really find that harmony again, which will make everything, including 763 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 4: in their personal life, so much easier. So it's shifting 764 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 4: from one paradigm that our culture has told us and 765 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 4: prided this is the way, and really claiming and agreeing 766 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 4: with that there is another way to be in your 767 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 4: life that is not so much sacrifice. 768 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 2: I always talk about the power of the pause. That's 769 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,959 Speaker 2: why I was smiling when you were saying that. Yes, 770 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 2: the listeners are so familiar with that because I did 771 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 2: the opposite, and I, like I said, tried to follow 772 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 2: the rule book of someone else or many other people 773 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 2: for many years and it just led to such burnout 774 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 2: and complete collapse. 775 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it. 776 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 2: Was ultimately the best thing for me because it has 777 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 2: taught me a little bit more about balance and I 778 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 2: struggle with it still. It's like an ongoing thing. But 779 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 2: even allowing myself yesterday to reach out to you was 780 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 2: like such progress for me because I would have just 781 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: powered through in the past, you know. And sometimes we 782 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 2: just have to pause and give ourselves a space. 783 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 4: Well, that's where life is actually created, is in the pause. 784 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 4: It's not in the do Yeah, because the pause is 785 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 4: where we have that choice point of going do I 786 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 4: want to continue this way or is there another choice? 787 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 4: And there is and you can't do that if you 788 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 4: don't pause. So I'm curious for you, like what prevented 789 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 4: you from pausing before you kind of had sounds like 790 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 4: you got a force pause. 791 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 3: I did have a forced pause. 792 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 2: I think what prevented me was definitely feeling like opportunities 793 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 2: were coming and if I stopped, I would miss them. 794 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 2: That was a big one. But then what happened is 795 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 2: the more opportunities that came, I did not really know 796 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 2: exactly how to outsource, and so I just had so 797 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 2: much on my plate and there wasn't any space in 798 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 2: my life for a life at all. Like I couldn't date, 799 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 2: I was only working basically, I barely saw my friends, 800 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 2: and I was in a season. Sometimes I do think 801 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 2: there's seasons of that where you're just like, Yeah, these 802 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 2: opportunities are here, I need to like go into them. 803 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 2: But then what happened is I would try to start 804 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 2: having a life, and the the decisions I was making 805 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 2: in my personal life because I wasn't allowing myself to 806 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 2: tap into my intuition and stop ended up being the 807 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 2: thing that brought me to my knees because I was 808 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 2: surrounding myself with people who weren't good for me, you know, 809 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 2: in relationship and work dynamics and things like that, and 810 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 2: so yeah, it just ended up. I always I'm like, 811 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 2: oh my god, I feel like I had a mental breakdown, 812 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 2: But I truthfully, I know it was my own intuition 813 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 2: being like you have to stop and the contracts that 814 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 2: I made before I came here. If you're a sole 815 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 2: person like me, like I always just feel like those 816 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 2: people just did exactly what they needed to do in 817 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 2: my life to get me to actually stop and get 818 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 2: to know myself again. Even though it was painful, it 819 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 2: was still the best thing. And I always say that, 820 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 2: although like I went through some a couple years of 821 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,399 Speaker 2: just really like kind of cleaning things out and it 822 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 2: was very painful and hard, it really did bring me 823 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 2: back to me. So that's why your statement was so 824 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 2: profound to me, because I'm like, that is it. It's 825 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 2: not like you have get to know yourself, but it's 826 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 2: like who am I and where did I get lost 827 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 2: along this way? It's just like shifting you back onto 828 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:06,240 Speaker 2: the right path. 829 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. I just so appreciate that approach because to me, 830 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 4: that's everything. It's like, Okay, challenge, challenge, challenge, and a 831 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 4: lot of times it is like the universe or whatever 832 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 4: getting louder and louder because you're not paying attention, and 833 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 4: I'll try. 834 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 3: I mean, I'll definitely I'll be. 835 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 2: Like like oh, like no, no, no, no, We're going 836 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 2: on this path for sure. 837 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 4: Because we don't want to stop. Because here's the thing. 838 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,399 Speaker 4: It feels so good to achieve, and it feels so 839 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 4: good to be driven, and it feels so good to 840 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 4: experience the satisfaction of like being in our element. But 841 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 4: it also feels really good to be taken care of 842 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 4: and to relax and to be like and to receive 843 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 4: and to feel like, Okay, I felt this great in 844 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 4: my office, but the moment I walk out the store, 845 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,760 Speaker 4: I'm gonna be with my daughter, and I also feel 846 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 4: relaxed and like I want I want all of it. 847 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 4: I don't want to just feel good thriving in my career. 848 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 4: And I feel like for me that was such my 849 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 4: baby was my career, and it just started to feel 850 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 4: like well, and then in my personal life exactly, and 851 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 4: it's like, I want it it all. I want to 852 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 4: feel good in all the spaces. I really want to 853 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,879 Speaker 4: lay my head on my pillow at night and genuinely 854 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 4: feel like I'm a great wife and I'm a great mom, 855 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 4: and I want my kids to be able to see 856 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 4: a relaxed mom, not just a productive, awesome mom, you know, 857 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 4: And so you shouldn't have to get to burn out 858 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 4: to learn those lessons, but we all do it, and 859 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 4: sometimes that's just how it's going to show up for us. 860 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 4: But I love that you're able to leverage those as 861 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 4: catalysts for massive growth, because yeah, that's the only way 862 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 4: I know how to see it. And I'm like so 863 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,720 Speaker 4: thankful for those moments in my life because they fundamentally 864 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 4: change everything for me in the most possible ways. 865 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,320 Speaker 2: Me too, mostly in the way of having a relationship 866 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 2: with myself at all, because when you're in the doing 867 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 2: space of the go go go go go achieve achivachieva 868 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 2: achieve again, we're just such we're driving so much that 869 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 2: our intuition is the thing that tells us, like when 870 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,880 Speaker 2: to stop, take care of yourself, when to eat for me, 871 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,959 Speaker 2: when to sleep. When you know, it's like all those 872 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 2: basic needs go under the table. And then also like 873 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,879 Speaker 2: I was just lonely. I didn't realize it, but man, 874 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 2: I mean I looked on the outside. 875 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:14,800 Speaker 3: Like I had it all together. 876 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, the thing that was like the driving force in 877 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,240 Speaker 2: most of my days was seeking connection and mostly with myself. 878 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. Yes, there's like this longing that women 879 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 4: feel and they're like, I don't know what it is 880 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 4: because I've got this and I've got this people around me, 881 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 4: and there's just this longing and it's in my heart 882 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 4: center and I what is that, Shauna. I'm like, it's you. 883 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 3: You're right, you miss you. 884 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 2: Because if you're giving it all away, like you're just 885 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 2: giving it all away, that's it. And if you start 886 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 2: from it like that place and you're just achieving like 887 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 2: that and just giving and giving and giving, eventually it 888 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 2: does catch up with you. It is because we have 889 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 2: to give to ourselves first, is what I've learned. And 890 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 2: it gets so much harder than it sounds. 891 00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 4: Well. And I do want to say this because this 892 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 4: is a good respective shift that I tell a lot 893 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 4: of my clients. It's like, here's the deal. No one's 894 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,839 Speaker 4: telling you to give less, because I know I've worked 895 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 4: with women for a long time and listen, they there 896 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 4: is an addiction to giving a lot. If you're going 897 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 4: to give at that level, totally cool, and you should 898 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,439 Speaker 4: because you have a capacity for it. Just meet it 899 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 4: with the same amount of receiving for yourself so that 900 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 4: you can give. And I think sometimes when we have 901 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 4: the giving conversation or like fill your own cup first, 902 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 4: women are like I have people that I'm responsible for 903 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 4: and they feel like you're telling them to give less 904 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,760 Speaker 4: and that message really does not drive with women. 905 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 2: So it's so interesting. That is a great point. I've 906 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 2: never thought about that. 907 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 4: I just think like own it, like give what you're 908 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 4: going to give, but build the capacity, which is the 909 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 4: work that I do to be able to receive what 910 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 4: you need to receive to stay so you can keep 911 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 4: the cycle of energy going. 912 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, ah, that is good. Okay, Shauna. 913 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 2: If people want to keep up with you or work 914 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 2: with you, where would they find you. 915 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 4: I'm Shanna van Bogart everywhere, including my website, Instagram, and 916 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 4: then check out start pausing dot com. 917 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 2: Start pausing dot com.
