So yeah, just all the big questions 32 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: of life. That's what we're going to explore in this episode. 33 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: Big themes, big themes. I have no idea and no 34 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: concept of time. Right now. I have to say my 35 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: book came out, Living in Wisdom. It is here. It 36 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: came out exactly about two weeks and a couple days ago, 37 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: so it is a brand new baby out in the world. 38 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: And I just want to say thank you so much 39 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: to everyone who has reached out, that is reading the book, 40 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: that has got the book, that has tagged me in 41 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: your screenshots, that has you know, let me know what 42 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: parts of the book. I've been getting a lot of 43 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: messages from people letting me know what chapter they're on 44 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: when they're on it, so like, Okay, I'm at chapter 45 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: three at this point, or I'm on page sixty seven, 46 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: or I'm you know, I'm I'm two chapters away from finishing. 47 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: So it's been really special because I think when you 48 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: first drop a book, you know definitely. I think the 49 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: flow of it is the focus on like first week 50 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: sales and you're out, you're talking about it, but no 51 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: one's actually really read it yet people are buying it. 52 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: And something that's been just really meaningful as an author 53 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: and thrilling as an author is getting the response for 54 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: how people are reacting to reading it. And it's been 55 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: really special and it's been interesting. I know when I 56 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: first when I first like turned in the manuscript and 57 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: I was just talking to a couple friends about the book, 58 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: and I kept everything pretty close to the chest, like 59 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: I'm really good at that. I'm a very patient person 60 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: with like the unfolding of things. I don't have to 61 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: share everything right away. But I was talking to some 62 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: friends about the book and they're just like, oh, you know, 63 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: this is going to be so great, and you know, 64 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: they were kind of holding the book in this very 65 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: like feel good kind of way, which it is a 66 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: very feel good book, I think when you really get 67 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: on the other side of some things. But I remember 68 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: what I shared with them, as I said, you know, 69 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: I think people's path to this book is going to 70 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: be a little bit different, because actually, I'm sure the 71 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: book is going to be quite confronting when you first 72 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: start reading it. It's even confronting for me when I reread. 73 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: It's provoking on purpose, you know, it's yeah, it's and 74 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: maybe provoking isn't the word. It's confronting on purpose. My 75 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: deepest desire with this book was to hopefully bring anyone 76 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,679 Speaker 1: that reads it to a deeper layer, to a place 77 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: they haven't gone before, place they haven't spent maybe significant 78 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: time before. So it's just been really special. So far. 79 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: I've done a lot. I have been on the road, baby, 80 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: which is so also funny for me based on my personality. 81 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: It's like I spent many years out five six nights 82 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: a week because of what I used to do in 83 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: the industry I was in, and you know, just used 84 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: to travel a ton and be here, be there and 85 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: since the pandemic, I have just fallen in love with 86 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: my natural, simple, ordinary, slow movements in the day. So 87 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: I'm a homebody. I can get out there, I can 88 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: work a room with the best of them. I can 89 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, take up space. But my preference in 90 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: this season of life is to like be with my 91 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: garden and be with my child and think and ponder 92 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: and just really spend a lot of time with my 93 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: closest relationships and go deeper there and have cookouts with 94 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: each other and regular hangs at each other's houses and 95 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: you know, things like that. And so because of that, 96 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: I have traveled quite a bit for work, but I'm 97 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: always like bam bam, and life has been like really 98 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: regimented the past few years in that way. And so 99 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: it's been really cool to kind of turn on those 100 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: social muscles that I haven't really used in a while, 101 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: to be out in the world talking about something that 102 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: I love and that I worked really hard on and 103 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: that I'm excited about. So yeah, it's been interesting. I've 104 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: been turning on my social battery, which also is a 105 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: sensitive person you got to build in like a lot 106 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: of recovery time. So it's been it's been cool understanding 107 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: that component of my life right now, right like how 108 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: to bring more harmony to a life that is usually 109 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: intentionally very reclusive, and then being out there and you know, 110 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: feeling all the energy and moving through the city and 111 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: moving through groups and you know, just having a lot 112 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: of experiences in one day. That was my life for 113 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: most of my life, of course, so it's nothing new. 114 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: But when you take a step back to do deep healing, 115 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: when you take a step back to work on you know, 116 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: what we're calling soft life or cultivating a slowness, it 117 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: does feel a little jarring when you have to keep 118 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: one foot in the other world too. It takes a 119 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: little bit of practice and it takes a little bit 120 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: of harmonizing. So I'm having fun doing that right now 121 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: because I am loving both. I'm loving being in the 122 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: world again. I'm loving having big conversations again and using 123 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: all my skills and you know, using things that were 124 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: kind of dormant the last few years because my work 125 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: was focused on different things. So it's just been really 126 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: fun activating those kind of highly trained muscles again and 127 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: using them. And I'm having a lot of fun with 128 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: that and springing back a lot of memories of different 129 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: eras of my life and different moments of like who 130 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: I've been, and now from this vantage point, I'm able 131 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: to also not just look at who I've been in 132 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: other times, right Like, when you get to a certain age, 133 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: you really start to see how defined your life is 134 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: by very specific eras and what those clusters of time 135 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: mean to your bigger story. And I think I'm just 136 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: really in a season right now where synchronistically a lot 137 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: is coming up for review, that is completing cycles and 138 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: completing circles in certain thought processes I've had, or ways 139 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: I've looked at situations, and so lately I've been talking 140 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: more than ever with people about actually like my very 141 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: very old school radio career, like not even the career 142 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: I gave up ten years ago, but the career I 143 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: got into when I was like nineteen. So I've been 144 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: thinking about those ages and who I knew and what 145 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,479 Speaker 1: I was doing and how I saw the world, and 146 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: it's just fun. It's fun and it's interesting. I'm realizing 147 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: also how wrong I was about so many things in 148 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: my life. I've run into a few people lately, people 149 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: I've known for honestly, like truly twenty years, and we 150 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: are resolving misperceptions like we've had about one another, had 151 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: about how each other felt about the other, or how 152 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: each other like approached a career move or you know, 153 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: just like so many things now from like this like 154 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: twenty year rearview mirror, and it's just it's beautiful. It's fascinating. 155 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: It's like the gift of time passing, you know. And 156 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: I think something I'm really savoring too, is like I'm 157 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: getting so many more confirming examples of how beautiful and 158 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: strategic divine timinginess. And you know, when you're younger, it's 159 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: really so hard to connect to that patience for your life. 160 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: It's excruciating because you're becoming, you're learning, you're discovering you 161 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: want things and people, and you know, you think you 162 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: have to craft your life so quickly and so fully. 163 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: Like I remember when I was turning twenty four, I 164 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: thought I was so depressed because I thought, by twenty four, 165 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: I should be deep in the success of a massive 166 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: career and I should already have this and that and 167 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: this and that. And it's like you are an infant 168 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: at twenty four, like what you should barely be trusted 169 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: with anything at that age. No, not really, but you know, 170 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: it's like those are the years that you're actually should 171 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: be so free, just so free and unencumbered by those 172 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: bigger choices and decisions, you know. So anywho' it's it's 173 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: special being in a place where there are certain areas 174 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: of your life you have been consistent and you have 175 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: been an alignment and you have listened to God and 176 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: you never saw like why you were being so disciplined 177 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: in those ways, and then all of a sudden, twenty 178 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: years past and it all falls into place and you 179 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: get it and you're like, wow, So the listening can 180 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: take a while, but why can't it? You know, like, 181 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: why can't it? Why does everything have to be fast 182 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: and more? And you know, yeah, And that leads me 183 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: actually to an update I want to share with everyone 184 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: about my surgery. Thank you so much everyone that has 185 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,479 Speaker 1: been hitting me up. There's been just so much kindness 186 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: floating in my orbit and ecosystem, and so many of 187 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: you listening and that have reached out to share your 188 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: own stories with chronic pain or surgeries, and so I am. 189 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: I think I'm almost eight weeks Monday, I think will 190 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: be eight weeks out from surgery, and the first episode 191 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: I recorded was I think within the first week where 192 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: I had my full sling. So I'm out of my sling. 193 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: I can't really raise my arm past here. This is 194 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: where she stays. If you're on YouTube, you see what 195 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: I'm doing right now, but right around my waist is 196 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: like how high you can lift my arm? But oh, 197 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: God is healing me so beautifully, Like it's blowing my mind. 198 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: And I was actually having this conversation with my friend 199 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: pastor John Gray, because he had prayed for me right 200 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: after my surgery, and I remember his message was like, 201 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: you know, God said, no, it's going to take as 202 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: long as it takes. The healing won't be accelerated, like 203 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: you need to slow down. And as soon as he 204 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: said that, I just thought it was one of the 205 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: fairest things I've ever heard. Of course, how fair and 206 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: how generous to be allowed to heal in the amount 207 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: of time you're supposed to heal, to heal it all right, 208 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: And so it really shifted things for me, and that 209 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: of this belief that I had to heal fast because 210 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: now I'm a healer and I'm in my healing, and 211 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: that everything has to be done with acceleration, and you know, 212 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: just like full abundance and manifestation. And so the last 213 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: eight weeks, I've been so present with my healing, and 214 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: that's what I have been mulling over. I've been thinking 215 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: about that and how fair it is and how special 216 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: my body is to even have the ability to heal, 217 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: and the fact that I still even get to have 218 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: use of this arm and you know, like and that 219 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: I'm even able to maneuver well while on a book 220 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: tour while healing from this experience, and I've just I 221 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: just can't even describe it. I can't even describe the 222 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: gratitude that I'm washed over with in my life, for 223 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: my life, for my body, for my work, for all 224 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: the opportunities of being alive and being in the moment. 225 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm truly in awe and just so overcome. 226 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: But here's what happened that I notice, right like, as 227 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: soon as I accepted, which gratefully was instantaneously and I 228 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: didn't even think about it, that was my natural response. 229 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: As soon as I surrendered, I could just be with 230 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: the miraculous nature of my body. I didn't have this 231 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: expectant energy. I didn't have this like you know, this 232 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: kind of this like disappointment that comes out far too 233 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: soon for something that is still in process. Right, Like, 234 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't encumbered with disappointment. I wasn't encumbered with a 235 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: longing or yeah, in expectation. I was just present with 236 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: the miraculous feeling nature of my body.

And I've just 242 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: enjoyed the tenderness and the slowness that I'm allowed to 243 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: move with with, you know, like I used to be 244 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: like the first one to pick something up or to 245 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: be like I can do what I got it.

I had a chance to join her 336 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: in New York and do her podcast, and that episode 337 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: is so different than any episode I have ever done. 338 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: She is a master and so special at what she does. 339 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,959 Speaker 1: But we talk about a lot. We talk about dating, 340 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: we talk about God, we talk about my super early 341 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: radio career in LA and my God, all the places, 342 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: all the crevices of my past. So check out that 343 00:20:49,280 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: episode too. It has been so great deeply. Well, hey, 344 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: there's so much to say, y'all. I just don't even know. Okay, 345 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: So I talk to you about my surrender experience. So 346 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: I had some very special, very special surprise me God 347 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: experiences too that are just feeling so invigorating. Like you 348 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: have heard me say this on the show so many times. 349 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm wearing a T shirt that actually says it. But 350 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: sometimes in certain moments of your life, the prayer is 351 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: simply surprise me God. I don't have any specific thing 352 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: to ask for right now. I'm not gonna you know, 353 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: just yeah, I don't need really more. Everything feels like 354 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: more than enough. I'm I'm open to the awe, you know, 355 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: like I'm open to the awe. I'm open to the 356 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: work of my life right now, and I'm open to 357 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: the things that I just can't even fathom. And so 358 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: I think when we make the prayer surprise me God, 359 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: and we say that when we wake up, we say that, 360 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: when we go to sleep, we say that as we're 361 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: walking into a new experience. It's another form of surrendering 362 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: to the things that can surpass any possible desire expectation 363 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: that we could ever have. I am firmly in my 364 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: surprise me God's season, and I do have to say 365 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: I noticed that spring and summer are really special to 366 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: use this prayer. There's just this natural blooming taking place 367 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: in nature and people in the world, and projects this 368 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: natural kind of ease and joy because of the amount 369 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: of sunlight that we're getting because the birds are all 370 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: out now for most of the day, chirping and singing. 371 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: It's an effortless joy that gets us, gets to surround 372 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: us without us working for it. That really starts to 373 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: come forward. So it's the perfect time to lean into 374 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: Surprise Me God. And I had two experiences recently that 375 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: were that they were just the sweetest, most special little surprises. 376 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: So the first was that I've shared this on the show, 377 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: and if you follow me on Instagram, you've seen, but 378 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: my friend Maria Shriver, the legendary national treasure icon that 379 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 1: she is, has an incredible book out called I Am Maria. 380 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: It's profound, it's special, it's deeply, deeply inspiring. It's a 381 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: mix of memoir and reflection and also like just beautiful 382 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: poetry and creativity. And so she asked me to join 383 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: her on some stops of her book tour. So I 384 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: joined her to kick it off in New York. We 385 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: did the La Book Tour, and then I joined her 386 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: this past week in Summerland, which is right near Santa 387 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: Barbara for those that are familiar in southern California, at 388 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: this beautiful bookstore that is, you know, this kind of 389 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: iconic literary space called Godmother's a beautifully really special bookseller. 390 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: And she had her conversation there in a very intimate 391 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: way and brought out her best friend forty nine years 392 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: to guide her in the conversation. And her best friend 393 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: is Oprah Winfrey. And so I got to share some 394 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: special time with Maria and Oprah and just witness their 395 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: greatness and the beauty of them as women, the beauty 396 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: of them as friends, the beauty of them as living, breathing, 397 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: world changing icons. And it just special, and I led 398 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: a meditation there for everyone. I got to see my friend, 399 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: doctor Jennifer Freed, who has been on the show, she 400 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: was there. I got to see Gwyneth Paltrow, she was there, 401 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: just such an admirer of her work and all the 402 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: things that GUP does. And it was a beautiful day. 403 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: It was just absolutely beautiful. And that's all I'm going 404 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: to say about it. But that was a surprise me 405 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: God for the ages. It unfolded in just such an 406 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: unexpected special way, and it was more than enough, and 407 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: it was sacred and really recharged my battery of inspiration, 408 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: recharged my battery of service, recharge my battery of just 409 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: excitement about being a woman and aging and growing and 410 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: creating and being you know, all the things that we 411 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: get to be while we're here. So yeah, so that 412 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: was the first one which knocked my socks off. And 413 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: then just a few days after that, I had the 414 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: really beautiful opportunity of moderating a panel called the Wellness 415 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: Revolution at this phenomenal global conference that happened in Beverly 416 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: Hills called the Milken Institute Global Conference.
