Hold it now, 2 00:00:37,280 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: release slowly again, deep in helle hold release, repeating internally 3 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: to yourself as you connect to my voice. I am deeply, 4 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: deeply well. I am deeply well.

That was so beautiful 13 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: to read some of the ways that you've been connecting 14 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: with this show. Last episode, we had a special meditation 15 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four, really getting ready to not just 16 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: gear up for the new year right but relax into 17 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: the new year with purpose, with intention, with desire. I'm 18 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: really interested to know for those that connected to that meditation, 19 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, where did you land with what you're craving 20 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: for this year, which you're desiring, the ways that you're 21 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: looking to surrender even more deeply into your life. So 22 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: if you were journaling to that or really giving yourself 23 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: some space and time to let that rise for you 24 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: after last meditation, hit me up on Agen tag me. 25 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: I would love to hear back about the top of 26 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: your year. So we've officially begun right now as I'm 27 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: recording this episode where like mid January, and I also 28 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: have an update. I have seen whales. If you listen 29 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: to the last episode, I was well watching in the Baha, 30 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: and after I recorded the episode, I actually got to 31 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: see my first whale breach of this season and I 32 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: was definitely like squealing in delight about it. Oh God, 33 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: it so much joy, nature, the world, God's creation just 34 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: fills my soul with wonder and joy. This episode, I 35 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: decided I wanted to connect and do a Q and A. 36 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: I haven't done one of these in a while. It 37 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: is probably my favorite kind of show to do, and 38 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: I'm always just moved by the depth of questions and 39 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: also some of the commonalities and similarities in the collective, 40 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: where you can really kind of track that some of 41 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: us are really thinking and exploring thoughts and ideas that 42 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: are similar. At the same time, I always love moments 43 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: like that, because for me, that really highlights why astrology is, 44 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: in the words of Darryl Gaines, such a sacred science. 45 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: I believe there are always things moving in the world 46 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: that are connecting us, that are inviting us to release 47 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: around the same times and inviting us to help to 48 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: move humanity and purpose forward at the same time. And 49 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 1: the more you meditate, the more you clear space inside 50 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: of your heart and inside of your head, the more 51 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: you open to your own creativity, the more you're able 52 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: to really tap into that center. You're able to tap 53 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: into sometimes some of that collective flow of advancement, you're 54 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: able to feel where we're all headed. So there's some 55 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: very interesting transits coming into play this month and really 56 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: throughout this year. Still just kind of an awe at 57 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: some of the auspiciousness that is expected for this year. 58 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: Are twenty twenty four the year neurologically as an eight, 59 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: representing completion, representing new beginnings. So keep thinking about that, 60 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: keep harnessing that flow and that energy as this year 61 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: continues to unfold. Really, the spring is where we get 62 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: to feel that energy. It's funny I was reading about 63 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: different calendar systems recently and it's only in the last 64 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: couple hundred years that we've been on this twelve month 65 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: Gregorian calendar system. And there actually used to be a 66 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: thirteen month calendar system that we utilized that had the 67 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: new year start in the spring in March, which is 68 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: also when spring equinoxes. And I mentioned this last episode, 69 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: but this January isn't actually kind of the the felt 70 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: start to our new beginnings. It's the start of the 71 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: calendar year, but it's still the incubation phase. We're still 72 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: in winter seasonally, which means we're still kind of encouraged 73 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: by the universe, by spirit, by the seasons to be inward, 74 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: to be inside of ourselves, to be reflecting, to be resting, 75 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: to be kind of self nurturing, nesting. And spring is 76 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: when we rise above ground, when the seeds sprout, when 77 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: the harvest begins, when the trees bear fruit. If you're 78 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: not yet feeling fully connected to your new year, just 79 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: know you're right on time. Know you're right on time. 80 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: And spring is where that creativity really heightens and where 81 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: more of that authentic, deepened enthusiasm will really rise out 82 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: of us for our lives. So I am feeling this 83 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: energy I'm loving this energy. I wanted to share a 84 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: couple of things that I've really been digging at the 85 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: start of this new year. So if you've been listening 86 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: to the show for a while, you know that I 87 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: take a lot of time away from connecting to pop 88 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: culture or connecting to societal things and connecting to like 89 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: film and television and the pandemic. For two years, the 90 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: first two years of the pandemic, I completely gave up 91 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: all television and all film, a lot of kind of 92 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: consuming of so many different kinds of things. I just stopped. 93 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: And I haven't really repicked any of that up, with 94 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: the exception that I've started connecting to some interesting shows 95 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: and documentaries recently. So I've been easing my way back 96 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: into just finding things that feel more relevant, but still 97 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: trying to kind of space it out from time to time. 98 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: I think for me, life feels a little bit healthier 99 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 1: and it feels more nourishing, and I have more space 100 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: for my brain and my creativity and my heart when 101 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: I don't watch television or movies. But I say all 102 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: that to say I watched a couple of things I 103 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: think you might enjoy, So right now, I really enjoyed 104 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: watching the Netflix David Beckham documentary. I think it's about 105 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: four or five parts, and it is a docuseries that 106 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: he and his team, his production team put together, so 107 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: it really is through his lens and through the way 108 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: he experience things. But it's just one I love greatness 109 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: in people. I love mastering people. So no matter what 110 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: it is that someone is mastered, I'm very into seeing 111 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: their process and seeing who they are, and also how 112 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: they juggle a life of mastery or a life of 113 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: fame and still connecting to their authentic selves, because that 114 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: is actually pretty rare, you know. I've noticed throughout history 115 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: that to be at high levels of fame, it's really 116 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: an act of high service because it's a tremendous sacrifice 117 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: from being able to be yourself and being able to 118 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: experience yourself authentically without all the perception and preconceived notions 119 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: of other people. And so I can definitely tend to 120 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: be a little fame shy, not that clearly, not that 121 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: I'm famous, but I really love and value my life. 122 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: So the idea of kind of making it open and 123 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: accessible to the world, it's just not it doesn't interest me. 124 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: Our life is so sacred, you know, like we just 125 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: really got to feel it while it's here. But I 126 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: say all that to say for people like David Beckham 127 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,359 Speaker 1: who achieve, you know, these feats of global, world renowned 128 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: fame and attention, it's really hard to keep a hold 129 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: on who you are and to be yourself and to 130 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: raise children and to you know, have access to those 131 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: deeper parts of you. And by watching his documentary, I 132 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: could just really see how important that is and was 133 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: to him, and also how tragic it was to be 134 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: truly a celebrity in the nineties and early aughts especially. 135 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: There's always been a strange dynamic with fame or with 136 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: the elevation of people in general, in society and in 137 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: human history before we had what we now know is 138 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: like celebrity, especially from entertainment. But there's always been that hierarchy. 139 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: There's always been throughout history. You know, groups of people 140 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: that you watch that greater collectives kind of use as 141 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: archetypes to watch, to discuss, to dislike, to like, but 142 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: people that you pour your motions into that you can 143 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: gossip about. You know. It's kind of how we're structured 144 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: in society and how we've always kind of been able 145 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: to understand the world on ourselves and reflect. But the 146 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: nineties and the early aughts were something else entirely, you know, 147 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: that is the prime era that we remember seeing, you know, 148 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: the images of Britney Spears with her shaved head. We 149 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: remember what happened with Princess Diana and Dodi al Fayed, 150 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: and you know all of the really extreme experiences of 151 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: people being chased by paparazzi and it's like for what exactly, 152 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: for a photograph, like a photograph of them walking. You know, 153 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: like there was such a frenzy that we don't really 154 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: recall now on social media, since so many of us 155 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: give away our lives and our business just because and 156 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: now on social media when celebrities can really kind of 157 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: share themselves in their own ways and in their own timing, 158 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: so we've forgotten that template that we used to kind 159 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: of live in. And it was really fascinating watching David Beckham, 160 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: Victoria Beckham and his you know, his team reflect on 161 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: the height of his fame and being able to see 162 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: some of the footage and it just, my god, it 163 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: was just traumatic. It was so traumatic. It was so traumatic, 164 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: like being followed with your children on your way to 165 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: preschool drop off by one hundred paparazzi snapping picks. You know, 166 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: it's like, my god, the toll that that takes on 167 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: your mental health. So just you know, it's I'm always 168 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: interested in watching how society and humanity change and how 169 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: quickly or how slowly some of these paradigm shifts take. 170 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: But if you're into stuff like that too, if you 171 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: like to be an existential crisis or you know, in 172 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: kind of analyzing mode in the ways that I do, 173 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: I think you'll I think you'll really dig that. I 174 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: got a lot from it. I was really moved by 175 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: his connection to greatness. I was also really moved by 176 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: and this is my view and it could be completely incorrect, 177 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: but I really kind of saw the effects of the 178 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: trauma of those experiences in his twenties and his thirties 179 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: had on him. You know, you really see a sadness 180 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: in him. You really see this is me without knowing him, right, 181 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: So this is what I was taking from it. I 182 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: don't mean to judge or kind of put words to 183 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: his experience that aren't his, but you just see the 184 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: physical and the mental and the emotional and spiritual effects 185 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: that that had and I I just really connected to it. 186 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: There was such a strength and resilience, but also a tenderness, 187 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: a little kind of fear, a little shakiness about all 188 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: of it. But it was really interesting to hear and 189 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: see it from his lens and also from Victoria's lens. 190 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: And one part really has to be thinking. And for 191 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: those that already watched it, you'll know what I'm saying. 192 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: But towards the end of the dock, they're showing a 193 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: lot of footage of them at home, have a beautiful home, 194 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: but you're seeing David like move around his house and 195 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: the way he organizes his things and the way he 196 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: cleans and literally it was like looking into a mirror. Wow, 197 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: Like how he organizes his life, his closet, his kitchen, 198 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: the way he cleans up is identical to myself. So 199 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: as I was watching that, I was both like like, ooh, yeah, 200 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: I like the way, Oh yeah, I get those shirts 201 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: up there, And then I was also slightly terrified because 202 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I've never seen myself 203 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: this way, and is something wrong? Oh my gosh, But yeah, 204 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: that is how my brain works. I love to organize, 205 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: I love things to be clean and beautiful, not in 206 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: a way that really I don't mind if other people 207 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: are messy or you know, if they don't clean up. 208 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: I really enjoy doing that stuff, like I really really 209 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:10,479 Speaker 1: enjoy cleaning my home and organizing my house and beautifying 210 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: my home and beautifying meals. So yeah, it was pretty 211 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: cool to see that. So if you get a chance 212 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: to check it out, and if you've already watched it, 213 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: I would really love to hear if anything that I'm 214 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: sharing in the way that I'm sharing it was things 215 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: that you were finding as well, or ways that you 216 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: were reflecting as well, So please hit me up. Instagram 217 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: is always a great place to do that, and also 218 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: you can feel free to hit me up on email 219 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: Hello at Debbie Brown dot com. That's where you can 220 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: send some podcast inquiries and such. So that's one thing 221 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: that I'm watching and highly recommend. Another thing that I 222 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: really am deeply enjoying with my son, who's five, is 223 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: this new docu series on Netflix called Life on Our Planet. 224 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: It's narrated by Morgan Freeman, and it really goes over 225 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: the history of our planet over a few billion years, 226 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: but they especially focus on the last five hundred years 227 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: of human evolution. It is incredible. It's so fascinating, it's 228 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: so well done. Like the imagery however they created this 229 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: with AI or tech, I don't even know, because like 230 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: it's wild, how incredible it looks, and how incredible these 231 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: animals that no one's actually ever seen before, they're recreations 232 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: of them, how they did it, it's just like mind blowing. 233 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: But the thing I'm really connecting to and watching that 234 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: is I love to think about creation itself, and I 235 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: love to think. I'm often finding myself thinking about how 236 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: often has God restarted creation? How often has God wiped 237 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: our planet clean and started over? And those kind of 238 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: questions have really been sitting inside of me for a 239 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: couple of years ever since I watched what was that show? 240 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: Jason Momoa c It's on Apple Plus. I did a 241 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: binge watch when I had COVID a couple of years ago, 242 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: and that show is something else. It's incredible, but it's 243 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: about kind of a restarting of humanity five hundred years 244 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: in the future. Fascinating. Won't get into it right now, 245 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: but it's an incredible show. So watching this show and 246 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: seeing the scientific lens right like we know biblically one 247 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: of the times that creation was restarted, and that is 248 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: through the telling of the story of Noah and the 249 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: Great Flood, and in a non biblical lens, they kind 250 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: of go over that timeframe on the planet and many 251 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: others and how how many times, and you know, I 252 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: think they I think I counted they went over at 253 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: least five different times that life on the planet became 254 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: extinct and the topography of the planet completely changed, and 255 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, there were continents where there were none, and 256 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: there were oceans where there were none, and you know, 257 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: going from having you know, water in one part of 258 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: the world to then an android hitting and now there 259 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: is a dust bowl followed by a great flood in 260 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: another part. And so you know, it's like the world 261 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: is always recreating itself entirely, and plant and life on 262 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: land and life on the sea is always being restarted. 263 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: But there are these threads of commonality that go through 264 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: some species, and this thread of commonality that go through 265 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: some forms of plant life, and so every time it restarts, 266 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: life restarts slightly differently, but looking like structures that make 267 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: sense to us. So it always kind of starts with 268 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: green repopulating right new different species of plant life starting 269 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: the ecosystem for life to be possible on land, and 270 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: in very much the same ways that happens in the 271 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: sea too. And you know, I've really got the understanding 272 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: that there are so many species of life on the 273 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: planet right now, but we are all at different levels 274 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: of our evolution. So some animals in the deep sea 275 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: still look prehistoric because their evolution hasn't changed yet because 276 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: no cataclysmic event has happened that's made it necessary for 277 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: them to evolve into something else. And then you have 278 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: for us, you know, for instance, us humans who are 279 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: at a high level of consciousness, and our evolution has 280 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: been very rapid. We've been evolving in our brains, so 281 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: we've been evolving in our understanding, not as much in 282 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: our physical bodies. Anyway, I can go on and on, 283 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: but it's it's a fascinating watch and it's really beautifully done. 284 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: And even you know, my five year old son quest, 285 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: hey baby, he is so fascinated by it and so 286 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: moved by it, and so we've been kind of ending 287 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: our night watching over and over again these uh, these 288 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: episodes and learning about animals and learning about extinction and 289 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: which that's like fielding a whole nother wave of questions 290 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: from my son right now, which is just well, when 291 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: are we going to be extinct? And I'm like, well, baby, 292 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: sooner than we thought. Thanks to global warming, the Great 293 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: Melt is coming. Yeah, so I think you'll dig it it. 294 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: It's it's fascinating if you're into that sort of thing deeply. Well, 295 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: all right, let's dive into some questions. So this is 296 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: a Q and A episode. I've got you all caught 297 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 1: up on things I'm interested in, but now let's talk 298 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: about things you were interested in. So a couple days ago, 299 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: I put up a Q and A on my Instagram 300 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: at Debbie Brown, and I said, you know, send questions 301 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: that you'd like to know anything about wellness, anything about 302 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: me within reason, anything about the journey. And I've got 303 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: a few questions back that I want to dive into. 304 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: So question number one comes from Bordeaux Neil and she asked, 305 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm interested in cold plunge. Have you done it before? Oh? 306 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm excited about this question because cold plunging has truly 307 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: been a really expansive, healing, powerful tool for my physical 308 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: body and for my mental health that I've been exploring. 309 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: So I started my cold plunge journey. Probably a couple 310 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: of years ago, maybe actually closer to ten years ago. 311 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: I started doing cryotherapy when I was living in Houston, 312 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: and cryotherapy i'd go do, and it was a bit 313 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: more challenging for me to get it done, but I 314 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: started noticing the positive effects and benefits that it had 315 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: on my mood and on my brain. So I enjoyed it, 316 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: but I couldn't really bring myself to be disciplined to 317 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: do it like it was just I didn't like it. 318 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: It was just too jarring to be that cold. So 319 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: I took a break from that, and then a few 320 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: years after that, I started going someplace that had a 321 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: cold plunge, but it's a huge one so it can 322 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: fit like probably twenty people at a time. So I 323 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: started doing kind of cold plunge and ice baths a 324 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: little more sporadically, And in this last year I felt 325 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: really called to build a practice around it, so I 326 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: invested it in getting my own cold plunge for my 327 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: home and the brand I use this plunge not paid 328 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: to say that, did not get a discount on my plunge, 329 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 1: but so far I'm really enjoying that brand and what 330 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: they offer, and so I got a cold plunge at 331 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: my house and in a guest room, I kind of 332 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: blew out the shower and I put the cold plunge 333 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: in there. So now I have a daily cold plunge practice, 334 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: and I will do cold plunge at thirty nine between 335 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: thirty nine and forty one degrees at least five days 336 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: a week. I do it every morning. I either do 337 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: it before my son wakes up, so somewhere in the 338 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: five am hour. That's a little harder because my body 339 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: hasn't warmed up yet, so that's usually a little tougher. 340 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: But then on other days my preference is to stay 341 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: in for at least six minutes. What I found in 342 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: that in doing that, I've never felt more connected to 343 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: my discipline, more connected to my body being able to 344 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: do breath work, which right when I get in, I 345 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: start my breath work sequence, and you kind of let 346 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,719 Speaker 1: your body surrender to the discomfort of the cold, and 347 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: after a certain amount of time you actually kind of 348 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: I find it to be a really pleasurable experience, Like 349 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: there's something about being able to do it and kind 350 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: of the strength you feel in that, and then also 351 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: the effect it's having on your body, the effect that 352 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: your breath is having on your body. But it becomes 353 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: like very dare I say, enjoyable and pleasurable to be 354 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: in that thirty nine degrees and the effect it has 355 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: in my body. Like I just I suffer from chronic pain. 356 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: I have an ongoing battle with back pain and some 357 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: back injuries and for many many, many many years, and 358 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: so I'm always in pain, like I'm always aching. That 359 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: helps alleviate that kind of takes some days of pain 360 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: out of the equation, helps me sleep better, but it 361 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: also helps me think better. The effects of that cold 362 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: plunge are so amazing for my clarity, my ability to focus, 363 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: and my ability to be creative. So I just find 364 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: when I start my day with that, I am moving 365 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: through the day so much more aware, so much more alert. 366 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: I have so much more dopamine coursing through me. I 367 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: feel really enthusiastic, really focused, and I feel very nourished 368 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,479 Speaker 1: in my body, and I'm able to get even better sleep. 369 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: So I highly recommend cold plunge. There's you know, I 370 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: kind of got into the practice and this is what 371 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: I tend to do. I like to attune to something 372 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: I'm interested in see how I connect to it intuitively, 373 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: try it, and then I might read about it, but 374 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: I usually use what I read to validate my own 375 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: experience or to further supercharge my own experience. But I 376 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: think it's really powerful to give yourself this space to 377 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: rest in your body's own dynamic brilliance and intuition and 378 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: connecting to new practices. But I say that to say 379 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: also that there are quite a few books on the topic. 380 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: You know, wim Hoff is really recognized and regarded as 381 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: kind of a pioneer in that space. So wim Hoff 382 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: has books about breath work, about cold plunge, and he 383 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: is an og and a pioneer. Hope to get him 384 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: on the show actually, And there's a few other books 385 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: that are around sharing practices in that So if you 386 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 1: feel called to it, definitely check it out. You know, 387 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: another way that people utilize and are able to glean 388 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: kind of the same positive benefits from a cold plunge 389 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: is by doing a really ice cold shower in the morning. 390 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: So I know a lot of people do that. That's 391 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: not really my jam. For whatever reason, submerging my whole 392 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: body into the plunge is actually easier for me than 393 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: feeling ice cold water rained down from a shower head, 394 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: like I don't dig it. But that is also a 395 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: much easier and absolutely much more an expensive method to 396 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: get these same benefits and to have some of the experiences. 397 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: May have some of the experiences that I described, So yeah, 398 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 1: check that out if you feel called to it. It 399 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: takes some time to get into and you have to 400 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: really work with being gentle with yourself and not judging yourself. 401 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: And when you first get in, if you need to 402 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: hop out in five seconds, do it, but then get 403 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: back in. You know, when I first started training my 404 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: body to get used to the experience, it took about 405 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: a week to like it. And I started by saying 406 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: just stay in the room, like get in and if 407 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: you have to get out in ten seconds, get out, 408 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,239 Speaker 1: but don't leave, and don't warm up. Stand there and 409 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: do what you need to do. And so in that 410 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: first week I would get in, I might last thirty seconds, 411 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: then I would hop out. And I mean, your body, 412 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: when you first start, you have a very strong reaction 413 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: to it. It's shocking, it can be a little jarring. 414 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: So I remember just letting myself kind of scream and 415 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: I like, I'm standing in that in the bathroom. But 416 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: I'm like looking in the mirror and I'm like, you know, shivering, 417 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: and I'm turning red and like, you know, my circulation 418 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: is going crazy. And I was just like, ah a, 419 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: I hate it, I hate it. Ah. And then I 420 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: would look at the tub and I'm like, nope, you 421 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: got five more minutes, get back in. So I would 422 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: go back and forth and do that, like get in, 423 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: get out and scream, get in, get out and scream, 424 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: and then finally you get back in and you can 425 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: stay in. And then the next day your body remembers 426 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: that progress, so you get in and you stay in. 427 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: So just be gentle ease into it. No, it will 428 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: not be easy, but it can be done, and eventually 429 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: you'll click through and you'll move past that upper limit 430 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: and you'll really be able to to see the benefits 431 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: from it and hopefully enjoy it deeply. Well, let's see 432 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: what other questions do we have. I love this question. 433 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: Saboo D sent the question that says, how do you 434 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: cultivate self discipline and consistency? Thank you for this question. 435 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: I think it's something we all can benefit from. Discipline 436 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: and if you're like an og listener and heard the 437 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: first few seasons like that is something that I had 438 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: to actively actively build and create and be present with. 439 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: I think for a really long time, I was always 440 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: able to be incredibly disciplined in my career, like incredibly 441 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: disciplined in work. I could work hard and work long 442 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: and go for things that'd be disciplined on behalf of 443 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: other people. But when it came time to be disciplined 444 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: for myself, for my own body, for my goals, for 445 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: my brain on a personal level, I'd always give up 446 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: there first. That would be where I was always kind 447 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: of willing to deprioritize those things. And many years ago, 448 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: with two of the teachers that I've studied with, I 449 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: remember they brought forth this idea, this word came forward 450 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: from their work, which was joyful discipline, and I created 451 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: this affirmation for myself every day where part of it 452 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: said I am joyfully disciplined. I am joyfully disciplined. And 453 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: I think it was something like in flow with myself mastery, 454 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: but just reframing the idea that I'm disciplined because this 455 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: is something I really deeply desire. I want to have it, 456 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: I want to know it. I'm craving the experience, even 457 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: if it's quote unquote hard, even if I have challenges 458 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: or difficulties in getting to it, because I really do 459 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: want it, Can I see it through a lens of 460 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: joyfulness and opportunity and not through the lens of lack. 461 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: So I first kind of had to dive into the 462 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: definition of discipline and really surrender and remove myself from 463 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: equating the word discipline to lack. You know, I think, 464 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: especially when we're looking to be disciplined in things like, 465 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: for instance, say your diet, right you want to get 466 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: more disciplined in your eating, the way you connect to 467 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: it is all the things you have to give up 468 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: in order to do it. So you're starting from a 469 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: place of lack. You're starting from a place of feeling 470 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: somehow hindered or maybe cheated out of having something, which 471 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: can trigger a lot of things in us. It can 472 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: trigger childhood wounds. It can trigger you know, needs not 473 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: being met. It can trigger against ways that that you 474 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: learn to self soothe and cope. It can trigger, you know, 475 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: ways that you felt like why do I have to 476 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: take care of myself so much? I've always been taking 477 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: care of myself. You know, so many different things. There's 478 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: a multitude of things that can are so uniquely individual. 479 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: But usually when we have discomfort with discipline, there is 480 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: something deeper that can be investigated and freed. And so 481 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: when you get to whatever that is for you, that's 482 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: when it becomes more evolutionary and you have more space 483 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: to approach discipline in whatever ways you wish to apply 484 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: it to your life. So joyful discipline for me was 485 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: a turning point, really looking at the experience as being 486 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: in service to me and not triggering where I feel 487 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: I have to now lack or sacrifice or give up. 488 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: I'll also say that for me, I interchange the word 489 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: discipline with devotion. So looking at the things I want 490 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: to do, specifically practices for my body, mind, and soul, 491 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: I look at it from the lens of this is 492 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: my devotional practice. I am looking to grow in my 493 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: devotion to this. So even with for instance, cold plunge, 494 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: I look at my cold plunge as something I'm devoted 495 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: to doing because I have yielded the results and I 496 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: know how much they benefit me. So is it still challenging? Sure, 497 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: are some days more challenging than others? My God, Yes, 498 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: but I know the effects, and I trust the effects, 499 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 1: and I like who I am when I do that. 500 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: So I push myself to not necessarily say be disciplined 501 00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: to do this right, but I say, devoted to this. 502 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm devoted to doing this. I'm devoted to my practices 503 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: and the way they uphold my purpose, the way they 504 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: uphold my life, the way they uphold my ability to 505 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: be my best self. Being disciplined, being devoted helps me 506 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: in all the areas of my life that matter the 507 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 1: most to me, especially my motherhood. You know, I'm devoted 508 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: to these kinds of practices that help my body feel good, 509 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 1: that help my brain feel good, that heal and expand 510 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: my heart most importantly, because it allows me to be 511 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: the mother that my child deserves to have when I 512 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,280 Speaker 1: do those things. It allows me to be the woman 513 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: that I deserve to be when I do those things. 514 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: So investigate your definitions and then start to get curious 515 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: about any limits you may feel inside, any charge you feel, 516 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 1: any sadness or grief you feel around discipline, and just 517 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: slowly start to investigate it and ask it questions, and 518 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: then you come up with what feels best for you, 519 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: and start slow. You're not going to lock into your 520 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: discipline in a weekend. You're not going to go from 521 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: you know nothing to expertise in a month. You know, 522 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: you're not going to go from novice to master in 523 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: a month. So also look at that and let yourself 524 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: slowly build this devotion. Slowly build this discipline over time. 525 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: You know, over the span of four seasons, over the 526 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: span of a couple of years. There is no race 527 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: to get it done. It's just continuing to show up. 528 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: And I think also interchangeably with the word discipline, devotion 529 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: can be interchanged with consistency, right, like building that consistent effort, 530 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: which is simply saying I'm going to keep attempting it. 531 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep doing it, even if I'm mad 532 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: at myself about it, even if I'm judging myself about it, 533 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: even if I don't want to do it, I will 534 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: because you know, we devote so much time and effort 535 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 1: into so many things that don't serve us. Yet it 536 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: can be so challenging to be that consistent with ourselves. 537 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: And we should look at that and say, where can 538 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: I apply that dynamic? How can I apply that dynamic 539 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: that I'm able to give sometimes to toxic friendships toxic relationships, 540 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: jobs that you don't enjoy your love. How do you 541 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: give yourself that same level of showing up consistently to yourself, 542 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 1: because that's the relationship that matters the most, of course. 543 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: So I'm going to dive into one more question and 544 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 1: then i'll try to do some more a little bit 545 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: later this month and another episode. Oh god, there's so 546 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: many good ones. I'll go with this question from Educational Wellness, 547 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 1: which is how to lovingly urge your spouse to join 548 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: in on your practices at times. So I want to 549 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: first call out that I'm answering this question without knowing 550 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: you or this person, or your personalities or your unique 551 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:24,240 Speaker 1: lives and experiences challenges. So I will do my best 552 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: with that in mind, and I kind of want to 553 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: broaden it out a little bit to the people in 554 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: your life. But I think the number one way to 555 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 1: get people interested in practices that you are finding to 556 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: be really beautiful, healing, expansive, beneficial is to just really 557 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,959 Speaker 1: focus on doing them yourself first, you know, don't really 558 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: worry about bringing other people into it, especially if it's 559 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: a partner. You know, depending on your partner's level of 560 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 1: distance from these things, sometimes your partner is going to 561 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: be into it. You guys will begin the journey together 562 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 1: and you know, kind of start and evolve in similar timelines. 563 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: And sometimes you're doing these practices and your partner is 564 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: absolutely not into it, or sometimes is even angered by 565 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: it or really dislikes it. So there's a few different, 566 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: you know, ways that you need to approach that. But 567 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: I think foundationally, the way to invoke change in others 568 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: is to focus on changing and transforming yourself. Even saying 569 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: that I want to be I want to roll my 570 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: eyes right, like, I know that's so trite, and I 571 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: know it's so simplistic to say. You know, we've all 572 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: heard the quote be the change we wish to see, 573 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: and the hardest place for that to take roots sometimes 574 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: is within our own families, being that change we wish 575 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: to see, because it does take time, consistency, and concerted 576 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: effort to see the payoff from that, you know, just 577 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: like it took us the amount of time time it 578 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 1: took to enter our healing journey, and we have to 579 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: maneuver through whatever our unique recipe is to heal ourselves. 580 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 1: It requires something right, it requires sacrifice, It requires time, 581 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: It requires investment in oneself and faith in so many 582 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: different ways, and the idea that we'd be doing all 583 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: of this hard work and that someone in our life 584 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: who hasn't started yet would be able to meet us 585 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: where we're at. You know, I think, let's just take 586 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 1: some other pressure off. We have to move into patients 587 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 1: with the people in our lives, and you know, to 588 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: be honest, all of us need proof of concept sometimes, 589 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, so I think to answer the question, keep 590 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: doing what you're doing, Keep doing it and do it well, 591 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: Do it well, and do it out loud, but not 592 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: in a way that's like come look at me, Come 593 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 1: look at me, Notice what I'm doing? Or see I 594 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: told you that's why you should do it. Let your 595 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: life be the proof. You know. It may take a 596 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: couple weeks, it may take a couple months, it might 597 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: take the year. But if this person in your life, 598 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: and I believe in the question it was asked for 599 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 1: a spouse, if this is someone that really matters to 600 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 1: you and you feel intuitively guided and led to be 601 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: in partnership with this person, that's a big investigation, right 602 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: because the answer isn't always going to be yes to that, 603 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: But if you do, then be patient with yourself and 604 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,280 Speaker 1: with them. But I would say that if that person 605 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: in your life is in any way shaming you, making 606 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: fun of you, trying to minimize the changes that you're making, 607 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 1: you know that might not be the safest, most aligned 608 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,959 Speaker 1: place to be. But when it comes to the people 609 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: in our lives, sometimes we have to prove concept, and 610 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: proving concept means maybe for a year you find ways 611 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: to regulate yourself in their presence that they're not aware of. 612 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 1: You know, you change your behavior towards them, come into 613 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: neutrality with them, come into non expectation with them. And 614 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,439 Speaker 1: I've just seen just so often over and over again 615 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,720 Speaker 1: in personal experience for myself and people in my life. 616 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 1: For clients, ninety nine percent of the time, there will 617 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: be a change, and that person will seek you out 618 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: and actually ask for your help and ask for your 619 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: support and ask for your wisdom as they embark on 620 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,359 Speaker 1: their own journey, or at the bare minimum, they'll start 621 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: to get curious, you know, they'll get curious about what 622 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: you're doing and how life is able to move in 623 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: the way that it does for you. And often that's 624 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 1: the biggest motivation for someone else to change when they 625 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: see you living your truth, and you're a direct result 626 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: of the work that you're asking them to do. Just observe, 627 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, let them observe, trust, remove expectation, detach from outcome, 628 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 1: but keep doing what you're led to do for yourself, 629 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: and the people in your life will either come on 630 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 1: board and slowly and in a way that is deeply 631 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: inspired by you begin to make the unique shifts that 632 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: are best for them, or you'll have the space and 633 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: capacity to make room and clear space from having those 634 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: people positioned as closely to you as they are, and 635 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: then you'll start calling in the more aligned connections and 636 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 1: the more aligned relationships and friendships, and it all comes, 637 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 1: It all comes. So I hope that answered the question. 638 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 1: I had a little bit of tech difficulty in the 639 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: middle of answering it, so things shifted a bit. But yeah, 640 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,840 Speaker 1: so I love doing these Q and A episodes. I 641 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 1: hope to do more in the future. If you have questions, 642 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 1: you can always DM them to me at de Wi 643 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 1: Brown on ig and make sure you check out our YouTube. 644 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 1: All the videos for each episode that I have that's 645 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,720 Speaker 1: an interview with a guest are featured on my YouTube 646 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: page Debbie Brown Well Being, and there's some cool community 647 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: forming over there. So for today's soul work. For today's 648 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: soul work, I want to send off on asking you 649 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: to find something to watch, to read, or participate with 650 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 1: that feeds a greater curiosity you have about life. So 651 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,400 Speaker 1: this soul work isn't as closely related to your self introspection, 652 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 1: but it is related and really activating and elevating the 653 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: way curiosity moves in your life and the way your 654 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 1: consciousness is able to upgrade and expand regularly. So at 655 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 1: the beginning of this episode, I shared a couple of 656 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 1: things that I was watching and some of the deeper 657 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: layers of where my brain and heart went with them 658 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 1: based on my own curiosities, which is very often like 659 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:10,799 Speaker 1: evolution and trauma. So what are your curiosities? What are 660 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 1: the things that really have no greater bearing on your 661 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 1: life but kind of continuously you've noticed fascinate you and 662 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,919 Speaker 1: trigue you. Or you'll spend a little more time going 663 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,240 Speaker 1: on a rabbit hole about it and take some time 664 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,800 Speaker 1: to investigate the thoughts you have about it and maybe 665 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: write those down. Start noticing what those curiosities are, no 666 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: matter how big or small, and see if you can 667 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: see a common thread journal about it a little, you know, 668 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,399 Speaker 1: ask yourself, why has this interested you? How long has 669 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: it interested you? Where does your mind go? What are 670 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 1: some of the deeper layers you notice? This interest? This 671 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 1: curiosity is connected to especially in terms of who you are, 672 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: the way you show up your purpose, the work you do, 673 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: or the work you wish to do.
