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