1 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: Take Personally. 2 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 2: With Morgan Juelsman. Hi, y'all welcome to take this personally Morgan. 3 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: Here this week I got to dive into some serious 4 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 2: self care work with expert Christina Lacarri. I brought her 5 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: on so she could share another resource for those who 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: are looking for ways to elevate their lives. Some people 7 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: do therapy, some like manifesting and affirmations. Christina likes to 8 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 2: help people expand their self awareness and align their energy 9 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 2: so that they can lead their most fulfilling lives. Her 10 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: work is applied to all areas of somebody's life, and 11 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 2: reading about her online, I thought it would be a 12 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: super thought provoking conversation and it really was. So here 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: we go, and I'm here right now with Christina La Carrie, Christina, 14 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: how are you? Oh? 15 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm so good? And I love hearing that. I'm like, 16 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: that's a really beautiful way of explaining it and putting 17 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: it and like if I like that, well. 18 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: It's awesome what you were doing to help people. And 19 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: I just want to hear all the things so it 20 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 2: can help some more people out there. So I want 21 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: to know what does it mean to create or reach 22 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: the highest, most powerful self? 23 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: So for me, it's less of like a mental concept. 24 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: I think it can kind of sound like it's unattainable 25 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: if you think it's somewhere to get to. And really 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about when I say that is being 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: in the present moment, like being aware of your conditioned 28 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: thoughts and your reactive emotions that you know have been 29 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: programmed within you in your childhood and traumatic events, to 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: really choose and decide how you want to feel and 31 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: who you want to be, how you want to respond 32 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: in this moment instead of just being like a bundle 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: of reflexes. So I think it's really less about trying 34 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: to get to this version of yourself and realizing that 35 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: this version of yourself is the natural you underneath all 36 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: of the distortions and delusions and all of the thoughts 37 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: and things that cover it up. 38 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: And if somebody were to try and take their first 39 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: step into getting to that place for themselves, like you 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: just mentioned, kind of the underneath or lack of another term, 41 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: peeling back all the layers and revealing our true personality 42 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: in a way, how would somebody take that first step 43 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: to doing that. 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's like my logical brain wants to be 45 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: like you have to look at your mind. You have 46 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: to listen to the thoughts in your mind and get 47 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: aware and become aware of the looping thoughts and the 48 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: way that you're programming has been conditioned. But the other 49 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: part of me is like, I feel like you really 50 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: need to start with noticing that you feel awful in 51 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: certain areas, or you feel stuck, or you don't feel good, 52 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: or you feel frustrated, or you feel sad, or you 53 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: keep hitting the same walls or the same experiences, because 54 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: then it's like, what's going on? And then we start 55 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: looking at the thoughts, and then we start looking at 56 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: the cyclical emotional experiences and then looking at the physical 57 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: manifestations that reflect that. But I feel like if you 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: just go straight to the thoughts, you're not really honoring, like, hey, 59 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: I feel disconnected from myself. I feel like there's something 60 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: off here because you're just trying to be like, Okay, 61 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: what's happening in my mind? So I think they do 62 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: go together. But I'd say paying attention to how you 63 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: feel and noticing most of the time when you don't 64 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: feel clean and clear and good, it's not because of 65 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: what's happening, it's because of your perception of it and 66 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: how you're feeling about things. So I'd say the feelings 67 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: to start first, for sure. 68 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: Oh and that's super hard because getting in touch with 69 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 2: our feelings is a very vulnerable place to be. I 70 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: do know that you were talking about on your social media, 71 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: and I think this kind of correlates to what you're 72 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: talking about here. Is if you want to accomplish all 73 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: these big dreams you have and make the big changes 74 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: in your life, you truly have to believe that you 75 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: are capable of doing that. Otherwise you're just going to 76 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: make it really hard for yourself. Does that kind of 77 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: connect to what you're saying. 78 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, definitely. I mean that's a huge part of it. 79 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: You for sure can't expect to build big buls, beautiful 80 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: things and then not believe it's going to work like that. 81 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: That doesn't work. 82 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: Yes, you know, I'm my own worst critic, and I 83 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: think a lot of people can feel that way. And 84 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: I know I'm capable of really great things, But to 85 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: constantly be hit with failure or to see other people 86 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 2: succeed and you just don't think it's ever going to 87 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: happen to you. How do you make sure not to 88 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: allow yourself to kind of keep getting dragged down by 89 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: chasing a dream because it's really hard. It's a hard 90 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: road and doing this and me talking to you about this, 91 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 2: you're not saying those things aren't going to happen, but 92 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: how can we make sure that we're getting through those 93 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: negative and hard things that happen. 94 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: There's two pieces that I feel like I said this 95 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: for my last answer, there's two pieces. There's two pieces, 96 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: but that's just what's happening. There are two pieces for this. 97 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: One is like, you have to decide that whatever you're 98 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: going to do is going to work, because why would 99 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: you put any other energy into what you're doing. And 100 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: if you decide that it's going to work, you're going 101 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: to see everything as evidence that it's working. And if 102 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: you haven't decided it's going to work, you're gonna see 103 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: it is evidence that it's not working yet. So I 104 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: think that choice is so important. It's just a decision. 105 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: That's where I'm going, that's the path I'm walking down. 106 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: This is what I'm doing with my life versus this 107 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: whole Like, ah, is it gonna happen? Like it's in 108 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: the universe's hands, Like no, it's in your hands, like 109 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: you co create with the universe, but the universe is like, 110 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: what do you want? Yeah, you can have that. So 111 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: I think that's super important. And the second piece is 112 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: the emotional intelligence to realize these thoughts, these emotions, these 113 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: self sabotaging patterns, like whatever it is, that's your emotional trauma, 114 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: that's the past within you that needs to be looked at, 115 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: that needs to be dealt with, that needs to be felt, honored, 116 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: process released, so you can show up as your highest 117 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: self in the moment instead of carrying around these old 118 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: energetics from what you're seeing every single moment, which is 119 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: a new moment unless you have that energy in your 120 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: system all the time. Yeah. 121 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 2: Wow, And it sounds like it's a really cool place 122 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 2: to get to once you can let go and move 123 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: forward from those things. I do think a lot of 124 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: people out there I want to ensure that they're living 125 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 2: their best life. We see that on social media. I'm 126 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: living my best life, and I think everybody genuinely wants 127 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 2: to have that, And I think a way in doing 128 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: that is really becoming the conscious creator of your life. 129 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: And you speak a lot about this, how and what 130 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: would that look like for someone to truly be a 131 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: conscious creator. 132 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: So I think it's like what I was saying before 133 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: that you have to start noticing, like what have you 134 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: created up until this point. So for me, I started 135 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: realizing this with relationships where it was like, hmm, the 136 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: past three men in a row were all blonde haired, 137 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: blue eyed surfers who were in love with their ex 138 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: girlfriend who I reminded them of, and kind of looked 139 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: like there was something that was like, Okay, this isn't 140 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: just a coincidence, Like there was like an energetic creation 141 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: happening here. So I had to start looking at like, 142 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: what are these guys have in common? Why was I 143 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: chasing these people who wanted nothing to do with me 144 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: and were not available. It's like having that awareness of 145 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: I guess I'm emotionally unavailable if I'm attracted to people 146 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: who don't want to be in relationship, and that was like, 147 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,239 Speaker 1: why looking at what am I creating? To really own 148 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: that responsibility and start to kind of like not look 149 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: at necessarily all the things that happened in the past, 150 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: but the past that's still alive within you now that's 151 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: creating this moment and really being able to look at 152 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm not creating the things that I want to create. 153 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: What am I creating? Why? That to me is really 154 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: where you start, and then it kind of just like 155 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: opens up the path from there. 156 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: And as we keep talking about this, I hear a 157 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: lot of things from you that almost sound a little 158 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: bit like therapy in a way. Do you feel like 159 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: becoming the highest version of yourself in therapy? Do collide 160 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: in some senses or how are they different. 161 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: I've never been to therapy to say for sure, but 162 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: I think from my perspective, what's a little different is 163 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: therapy to me seems more like it's like talking about 164 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: all of this stuff, and what I'm talking about is 165 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: really honoring those things that have stayed in our mind, 166 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: body and energetic field and that have created these actions 167 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: and programs and like where we're on this same loop, 168 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: but then dissolving it, realizing it's a delusion, it's not 169 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: actually true, realer happening in the moment. We're just on 170 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: an old pattern and breaking apart the energetics as that 171 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: pattern plays out in the moment, so you can operate 172 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: from presence instead of whatever life has conditioned you to be. 173 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: So I think, like with my clients and in my programs. 174 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: We're not really talking about the stuff as it is. 175 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: We're becoming aware that the stuff exists and noticing when 176 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: it crops up to expand beyond it. 177 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: That's super interesting too, because that wasn't a planned question 178 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: at all. I was just listening to you talk about 179 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 2: that because I think it's important to realize there are 180 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 2: resources out there across the board that look different for everyone, 181 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 2: and this type of resource could be very valuable to someone, 182 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: just as therapy could be valuable to someone else. So 183 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 2: it's cool to see the differences in them and also 184 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 2: the potential if you do both, to see where your 185 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: life could come from and out of that. Thank you 186 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 2: for explaining. 187 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, I think too, it's like just 188 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: knowing where you're at. Like the work that I live 189 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: sh and teach can be super offensive and triggering to 190 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: someone who's like deeply identified with their ego and their 191 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: mind and their pain and their trauma. But for the 192 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,599 Speaker 1: people who are like, oh my god, I'm dying to 193 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: get out of and stuck in these cycles. I don't 194 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: care about what happened in nineteen ninety five, but like 195 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: it's still repeating when they find this work they're like, ah, 196 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: but if you're still in it, it's like, my pain 197 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: is real, it did hurt. You don't know you know 198 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: there's a and I get it having been in that side. 199 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: So I think it's really like honoring where you're at 200 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: now and what you need now. Instead of thinking this 201 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: is the way or that's the way. It's like, what's 202 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: your experience and what are you looking for? Because I 203 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: have had people who have come into my containers who 204 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: are deeply in trauma, and I've been like, this isn't 205 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: a match for this work. This is going to feel 206 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: really far away from you and might even potentially re 207 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: traumatize you because it's such a big jump from being 208 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: like I'm in this thing that's really painful to like, hey, 209 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: that thing's not actually real. You're just tripping balls in 210 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: your head right now, and it's like it is real, 211 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: like it can create more of that wound. So I 212 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: think that self awareness on where you're at and what 213 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: you're interested in. Some people might never be interested in 214 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: this work ever in their lifetime, and that's okay too, 215 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: But for the people who it's for, they're like, oh 216 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: my god, where have you been my whole life? 217 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: No, it's very powerful what you're doing. And like I said, 218 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: I think it's giving a resource to people to see 219 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: things in a different way, and that's really important. Yeah, 220 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 2: in that same kind of vein just talking about the 221 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: illusion of limits and fears that we have. Why do 222 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: those things even exist? And are they helping us or 223 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: are they hurting us? What's going on? 224 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's really just like old unresolved 225 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: emotional energetics and things in the body, And it's just 226 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: the mind's natural way of how it processes to live 227 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: to protect itself, right, So it's just like everything is 228 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: a threat, constantly scanning for like impending doom and danger. 229 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: And I just realized that when I really started cracking 230 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: open into wealth success, all that stuff came like rushing forward. 231 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: I never had it before. I mean it was there, 232 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: but it didn't show up like working in TV or 233 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: any of that stuff for ten plus years. But as 234 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: soon as I started my business and things started blowing up, 235 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: it was like, what if you lose everything? What if 236 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: you've become homeless? And I was like, is not the 237 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: biggest day in your business ever? Why is that where 238 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: the mind goes? But it's like I also grew up 239 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: with a lot of financial trauma. I also grew up 240 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: feeling like I couldn't really count on money, so it's 241 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: like I didn't know how to deal with those emotions 242 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: and that energy, and then money started coming in and 243 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: my system was like whoa, whoa, whoa, we don't feel 244 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: safe with money. What's happening here? So I think it's 245 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: kind of that journey of understanding that's the past within you. 246 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: Here's the opportunity to integrate it through these experiences, so 247 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: it can be something that you can kind of like, oh, 248 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: there's my human doing the thing, like I, ah, okay, 249 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: I get it. I'm still going to do the thing. 250 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: Because if we don't see it as like a separate, 251 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: tangible object, it feels so real. It's like what if 252 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't work? What if no one? But what if 253 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: I lose? What if I fail? And it's like, oh 254 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: my god, you're just laying in bed breathing. You're not 255 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: going to take action because you have the thought what 256 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: if I fail? It feels so real in your body, 257 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: but it doesn't just sound like a thought. It's like 258 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: I can't actually move. So I think being able to 259 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: see it for what it is, and to allow it 260 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: to be there without letting it lead is really like 261 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: the sweet spot. 262 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: Wow. And hearing that too, just knowing that fears can 263 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: really debilitate us from chasing things that we want to pursue. 264 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: That's also something that's been so. 265 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: Prevalent, so so prevalent. 266 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, And I know there's got to be people 267 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: out there that are listening to us talk about this 268 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: and they're struggling to feel good in the place that 269 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 2: they're at right now. They're sitting at home and they 270 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: just feel the weight of the world on their shoulders. 271 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: Nothing's going to get better. What can they do in 272 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: this moment to just take a step forward to the 273 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: life that they've wanted and get out of that space 274 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: of I am not doing well. 275 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: I think for me, it's like honoring and realizing that 276 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: that's just a thought that you're choosing to buy into. 277 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: Because I worked in TV and film for eleven years 278 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: before I took my business full time, and I knew 279 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: since two thousand and three when the OC came on 280 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm going to write and produce 281 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: my own TV shows and my whole life, people are like, no, 282 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: you won't get a job in LA and I was like, 283 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: I got a job when I'm there, and they're like, well, 284 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: you won't get another one. I was like, I got 285 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: another one. Well, you'll never stayed consistent. I'm like, I 286 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: keep working in TV, you'll never be a producer by 287 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: the time you're thirty. I'm like, I'm a producer. And 288 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: the thing is, my path happened so differently than how 289 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: people said it would. Like they'd be like, you have 290 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: to work in a writer's room. I'm like, I never 291 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: worked in a writer's room. They're like, you've never had 292 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: a full time job. I'm like, I never write a 293 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: full time job. I don't know, but they keep going. 294 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: And from that awareness, I realized I just was synced 295 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: into the inevitability, like I'm gonna have my own show. 296 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: It's just a done deal, Like I feel it in 297 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: my soul. Everything was just evidence. Like I'd be like, Whoh, 298 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: I got a job at Warner Brothers. It's working. 299 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 3: Ooh, I got a job at AHBL. It's happening. I 300 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 3: didn't go into the yeah, but it's not full time. Yeah, 301 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 3: but it's not in a writer's room. I just saw 302 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 3: the enneric breadcrumbs is building so that there was no 303 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 3: need to pretend that it wasn't working. So it's like 304 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 3: I could have gone into the story every single time 305 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 3: of I'm only making eleven dollars an hour. I'm just 306 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 3: an assistant. I haven't gotten the full time job. I'm 307 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: nowhere near this, i haven't ever sold the script. I 308 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 3: haven't even had a meeting. But it was like my 309 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 3: energy was so connected to the forecast that it was 310 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: just like. 311 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: Riding into it. But in my business it wasn't always 312 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: that way. I had a lot of ups and downs 313 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: based on my perception because I didn't decide it was 314 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: just going to work. So what I'm saying is, you 315 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: decide where you are right now. It doesn't mean anything. 316 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: It's just part of the path to where you're going. 317 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: But if you haven't decided that you're going there, everything's 318 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: going to feel like shit if it doesn't look exactly 319 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,479 Speaker 1: how your ego thinks that it should. 320 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, gosh, I mean between talking about my ego and 321 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: the energetic breadcrumbs, yes yes to all of it, and 322 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: hearing you say some of this also kind of reminds 323 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: me a little bit of vision boards and manifestation. Do 324 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: you feel like that's part of this journey at all, 325 00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: or is that something totally different? 326 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean, like I don't personally vibe with vision boards 327 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: and affirmations and stuff, but like my work is largely 328 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: rooted in conscious creation for sure. I think it's just 329 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: so much cleaner to me that It's like the physical 330 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: world is a mirror, that's it. So you want to 331 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: expand in the physical you have to elevate, evolve, and 332 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: expand to a level of consciousness where the physical world 333 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: meets you there. You want healthy, intimate, high level love, 334 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: You've got to be at the level of consciousness to 335 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: have it. You want to have your business blow up? 336 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: Like who are you being? Life's responding to who you're being. 337 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: So to me, I don't try to manifest things. They 338 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: just happen and show up and come to me because 339 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: of my awareness and level of consciousness and energy that 340 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: I'm putting into what I'm doing. So it's like there's 341 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: no resistance. They're just pure flow and inspiration. Oh I 342 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: want to do this? Who I want to do that? 343 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: Oohpay and full client. It's just this effortlessness that comes 344 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: from who you're being in the present moment where I 345 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: feel like, those things aren't really necessary from my perspective, 346 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: because it's just like you don't have to ask for 347 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: what you want. It just shows up on a silver 348 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: plat when you're in the energy of everything is here 349 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: now instead of something is missing. That's just how it 350 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: kind of feels to me. 351 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, and that's definitely an interesting perspective too, to 352 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: think of the present moment. So do you feel like 353 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: it's more achievable to be the highest self when you 354 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 2: are really focusing on the present rather than past future? 355 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah. The heart and soul of my work is 356 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: all about the present moment. There is no pass in future. 357 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: Those are mental concepts. So it's like when you step 358 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: out of your mind and just live here and now, like, oh, 359 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: here's a thought, Oh, come back to my body. There's 360 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: another thought, Oh, come back to my body. This is 361 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: the place where it's like you just know where to go, 362 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: you know where to turn, you know what to sell, 363 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: what to launch, what to do, when to go to 364 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: the farmer's market, when to shave your legs, and it 365 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: all adds up to bring you to this place where 366 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: you're like, I guess it was happening the whole time 367 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: and I just decided to move with it. So, yeah, 368 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: I feel like the past and the future are really 369 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: intricately related to the mind because the future is just 370 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: a projected image of the percip past. So it's like 371 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: that's when we're recreating the same things. The future is now, now, now, now, 372 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't actually exist. So it's like, unless we're living 373 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: in this now, we don't have access to infinite potentiality, 374 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: we don't have access to higher vibrations. We just have 375 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: access to what we've always known and what we've already 376 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: created and experienced. 377 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 2: Gosh, that's super powerful because I know that living in 378 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: the present is a very hard and difficult thing, but 379 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: you're talking about a whole nother level of that and 380 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 2: then the present and existing and genuinely operating in the present. 381 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 2: But I think that's so important as well. 382 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's really healing. I think that was 383 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: the whole thing I realized once I started stepping out 384 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: of my thoughts to be like, oh my gosh, the 385 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: reason I was anxious and depressed was because I was 386 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 1: believing all these thoughts about all these things. And you know, 387 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: so when I started using my day as a moving 388 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: meditation instead of thinking things just like letting them move through. 389 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: It was like, Oh, that's not even me who feels 390 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: that way. I don't feel like that person shouldn't have 391 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: said that on the internet. That's just my mind. Like, 392 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: thank god, there gets to be that space that allows 393 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,719 Speaker 1: you to actually live in peace instead of just experiencing 394 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: little pockets when you manipulate everything that's happening in the 395 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: physical to be like, ah, now I can feel good, 396 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 1: which just not feel good. 397 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 2: No, But you've inspired me. You seem so content and 398 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: just really here in this moment, and I love to 399 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 2: feel that energy from you. And now I want that 400 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 2: energy for myself, which is really cool. 401 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: You can have it. 402 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: It's yours talking about your life too. I noticed in 403 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 2: seeing all your work you talk about throwing out the 404 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 2: rule book and just kind of paving your own path 405 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: and just setting that into motion. And that mindset for 406 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: you is what really changed the game. And I just 407 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 2: kind of want you to share that a little bit 408 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: with me before you go. 409 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like I was specifically talking about like 410 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: building a business, but it can apply to anything. My 411 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: business started not even meaning for it to actually be 412 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: a business, Like I was working at Apple and their 413 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: marketing campaigns and they didn't have any for us to do, 414 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: so people would just doodle on their iPads and read 415 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: books I'm going to do all day. So I just 416 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: started in an Instagram and started sharing things and it 417 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: just blew up the account. The following I just started, 418 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: people were like, can I work with you? And I 419 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, sure, and then it just kept happening. 420 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: And what I realized on my journey has quantum leaped 421 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: very quickly, was how many people wanted to make up 422 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: all of these crazy, ridiculous rules. Started. I was talking 423 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: about relationships and I remember marketing coach had said, you 424 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: need to put what kind of relationships on your bio? 425 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: And I was like, are you talking about what other 426 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: kind of relationships are there? And no one's going to 427 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: be like does she need a relationships with cheeseburgers? Like 428 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm so confused, Or they'd say, you know, the best 429 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: day to launch is on a Tuesday. You need to 430 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 1: create this kind of content, and I just was like, 431 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. I don't know who made up all 432 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: these silly ideas, but my energy was just so purely 433 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: into sharing my soul's work with the world and seeing 434 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,479 Speaker 1: the results that I was created where I was like, 435 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: I just didn't listen to anyone's rules and I did 436 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: it following those energetic like what if I posted this, 437 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: Ooh what if I said that? And just seeing how 438 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: it kept building from that momentum just really inspired me 439 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: to like announce to the world that it's like, you 440 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: don't have to do things the way other people say 441 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: you do unless that lights you up and turns you 442 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: on where you're like, I love that idea, but most 443 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: people are not connected to themselves to feel that. They're 444 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 1: just like, oh, this person smart, Oh, this person successful. Oh, 445 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: they said I should do it this way, and okay, 446 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: but what does your soul say? Because my soul would 447 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: rather gouge my own eyes out with a hot spoon 448 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: than sit on a sales call. Never literally never, you 449 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: want to work with me, Here's how it works. You 450 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: come to my inbox and you pay me.

It's like you feel it, you're ready, 453 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: here's the link. But people train you. You've got to get 454 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: on a sales call and you got to pitch them 455 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: this thing, and you've got to say yes seven times, 456 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: so they subconsciously want to say yes, and at the 457 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: end of the call it's a real thing, then they'll 458 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: want to say yes to you. And I'm like, I 459 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: hate that I'm not doing any of that. So it's 460 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: like being able to realize that you get to do, 461 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: whether it's your business or anything that you're creating in 462 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: the physical world, the exact way, like the literal, exact 463 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: way that you want to do it.

I don't feel like 472 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying. I feel like I'm just ooh, I'm going 473 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: to send an email. Oh I want to share this, 474 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: and things are just growing around me. And that's the 475 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: way that co creation is meant to feel really effortless 476 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: and connected. When you live in the moment and you 477 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: follow your desires and your inspiration instead of being an 478 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: overly masculine energy trying to force, hustle, pressure, create, make 479 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: something happen that already is happening. 480 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 2: Yes, and you know, being a digital director outside of 481 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 2: this podcast, the thing that I've seen the most on 482 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 2: social media chain is that we want to see genuine 483 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 2: content from people. And it goes to show what you're 484 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 2: talking about. If you're not connected in the soul, you're 485 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 2: not going to be creating genuine content because it's going 486 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 2: to feel disingenuous. You're not going to be the version 487 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 2: of yourself that is actually who you are behind the screen. 488 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: And so it just goes to show that what you're 489 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,719 Speaker 2: talking about is one hundred percent true because we're just 490 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 2: in that place where we want realness from people. We 491 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 2: want genuine, we want authentic, and we want honest conversations, 492 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: and that just perfectly aligns with everything you're saying. 493 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And it's like, especially when it comes 494 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: to things on the Internet, it's just like you don't 495 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: need to like force anything, you don't need to convince 496 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: me of anything. I feel your energy or I don't. 497 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: It's really simple. So I think when you lead with 498 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: your energy for yourself and whatever you're building, it just 499 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: makes everything cleaner. Like people were vibrational beings, we feel things, 500 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: So it's like, if what you're putting out is in 501 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: alignment with who you really are. People come to me 502 00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: all the time and they're like, I literally don't know 503 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: what you're selling, but I want to buy. I just 504 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: feel this resonance with you, and I'm like, perfect, you 505 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: know that this is for you on a deep level. 506 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 1: That's so much more than anything I could say on 507 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: some story slides, you know what I mean. So it's like, yeah, 508 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: your authenticity is powerful and magnetic, but it's also the 509 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: thing that builds your version of whatever it is that 510 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: you're here to build. 511 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely well, Christina, thank you so much. You just shared 512 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: so much wisdom and exciting things that now I'm really 513 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 2: going to be paying attention for energetic breadcrumbs. So thank 514 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 2: you for that. 515 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: You're welcome one of my favorite things. 516 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, so thank you again just for joining and being here. 517 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 2: It was really awesome to get to talk with you. 518 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 2: You too.

Listening to Christina talk on 523 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 2: this episode was very enlightening and also an interesting experience 524 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 2: because of the current state of my life. So I 525 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 2: decided to do an audio journal entry with you all. 526 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: You're gonna hear my messiest thoughts as I try to 527 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: process all the things that life is thrown at me, 528 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: particularly when it comes to love and relationships. So here 529 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 2: it is my audio journal entry. Take one. You know, 530 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 2: love is a big part of your life, and she's 531 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: sitting here discussing with me about self awareness and trying 532 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: to align with certain goals so that you can have 533 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 2: this max highest self and I want that. I think 534 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: anybody listening to Christina would want that for themselves and 535 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: wants to accomplish that goal and be at that place 536 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: in their life where they are just achieving all of 537 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 2: the things because they're on such a high level of 538 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 2: self awareness and living in the moment that they're accomplishing 539 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 2: any and everything that they want to. And so in 540 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 2: this interview, I'm having envy hearing her share or her 541 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 2: story where she was at to where she is now, 542 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 2: how she got to this energy journey, and I think 543 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 2: it's really interesting for me to listen to when I 544 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 2: am sitting here doing everything I can to not be 545 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: in a fight or flight situation. I'm going to break 546 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 2: this down a little bit, and the societal standards for 547 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 2: what a woman should be are marriage and kids, in 548 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 2: the whole nine yards of this perfect life. And don't 549 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: get me wrong, I have grown up in this society 550 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 2: and I know exactly how I feel about it and 551 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 2: that I don't care that I'm not on a certain 552 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 2: timeline and I don't allow those pressures to get to me. 553 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 2: But it's still a hard pill to swallow. It's still 554 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: hard to sit around and see many of your friends married, 555 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 2: having their first kids, some their second kid, moving in 556 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 2: with someone, buying a house, having all of these life 557 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 2: accomplishments happen when you're the one that's having a bunch 558 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 2: of success happened, But in personal areas it's not. Because 559 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: I can confidently say that my professional life has been 560 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 2: going so well. It's been expanding, I've been learning things, 561 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 2: I've been growing, doing new projects, having awesome accomplishments, and 562 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 2: I love that, and I love to look at that 563 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 2: part of my life and be so excited for myself 564 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 2: because it's hard to do. But it's a hard pill 565 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: to swallow when I don't have someone to share that with, 566 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 2: and when I have to realize that at twenty eight 567 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 2: and twenty nine and now thirty, I fell in and 568 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 2: out of love again. I'm not mad at myself and 569 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 2: I'm not angry with what happened, and I would not 570 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: want to settle just for a perspective, but I'm not 571 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 2: going to lie to myself and say that it doesn't 572 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 2: hurt and it doesn't suck, and I hate being single. 573 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: While Christina and I were talking, she was sharing how 574 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 2: it's important to do a lot of self reflection and 575 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 2: awareness work of things going on in your life and 576 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 2: the experiences that you've had to be able to truly 577 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 2: get to your highest self. And what's super frustrating for 578 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 2: me is that after my relationship, the one that was 579 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 2: probably the worst one that I'd faced in my life, emotionally, physically, abusive, 580 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: all the things. The list goes on, But for three 581 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 2: years after that relationship, I spent that entire time focusing 582 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 2: on who I was, my growth, my self awareness, figuring 583 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 2: out any mistakes I was making, making sure to learn 584 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 2: and unlearned. I spent three years doing that that I 585 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 2: was so confident that after that three year journey that 586 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: the next person I was going to date was going 587 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 2: to be my partner for life. I'd put so much effort, 588 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 2: so much work into becoming the best version of myself 589 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 2: that there wasn't possibly a world where I couldn't meet 590 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: my next partner and it be the best situation for 591 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 2: me and my partner for life. And so that's why 592 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 2: I go back to my disappointment of failure, which is 593 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 2: also colliding with my inability to settle, just because of 594 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: a perspective I had. This is a wish I wanted, 595 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: This is something that I wanted to accomplish. This is 596 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 2: what I believed in my heart, myself, soul, my gut 597 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 2: was going to happen because I put so much time 598 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 2: and energy into focusing on myself. And I wouldn't take 599 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 2: that back. Regardless of everything that's happened in the last 600 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: year in my latest relationship, I would not take that 601 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 2: time of three years that I spent working on myself. 602 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: I would do that over again in a heartbeat. Because 603 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 2: it needed to happen, regardless of the before and after 604 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 2: events of it. Spending that time with myself, dating myself, 605 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: learning about myself, and exploring patterns that I had had 606 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 2: was essential for me to become who I am today. 607 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 2: After those three years of focusing on myself, I stepped up. 608 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 2: I made sure I did not make the same mistakes again, 609 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 2: which is also why it's so frustrating to have spent 610 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 2: so much energy and lessons on yourself to then fail again. 611 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 2: This is a part of life. You try something, you fail, 612 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 2: you get back up again. Psychle repeats, and just as 613 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 2: important as success is, failure is as well. I know this. 614 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 2: I know all of these things. It's in my brain, 615 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 2: It's seered into my skull of knowledge. But it doesn't 616 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 2: make it any less hard, and it doesn't make it 617 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 2: any less disappointing for myself. I want to be this 618 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: person who can accomplish the highest self. I want to 619 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: be the person who can find this unicorn partner that 620 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: I've been wanting to have for years. I want to 621 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: accomplish every dream that I've set out to do, and 622 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 2: in all fairness, in one area of my life, I 623 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 2: have truly done that working on the Bobby Bone Show 624 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 2: was a dream job for me, and the fact that 625 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,479 Speaker 2: I've accomplished that and stayed in that is the highest self, 626 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 2: A part of me that is the highest self. But 627 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: I want all of me to be at the highest self. 628 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 2: In talking with Christina, and it's frustrating to me that 629 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 2: I've put so much time, so much effort into that 630 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 2: and i still haven't made it happen. And I'm saying 631 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: all of this not to get sympathy, not for anyone 632 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,239 Speaker 2: to reach out and say you got this or do this. 633 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: I'm saying this because the journey to getting there, to 634 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 2: becoming this highest self, this person that Christina is talking about, 635 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 2: is so hard, and there's so many highs and lows 636 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 2: that you were going to go through with other people 637 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: and with yourself. I'm currently on a low part of mine. 638 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 2: I'm doing really well. I'm happy, I'm not upset. I'm 639 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 2: just frustrated. I'm angry. It's not with myself, it's not 640 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 2: with him, It's with the sequence of events that have happened. 641 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,479 Speaker 2: The first thing I do after a traumatic event in 642 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 2: my life is schedule a therapy session. I don't go 643 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 2: to therapy regularly I really don't need it regularly. I 644 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 2: typically need it when I get triggered or when a 645 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 2: situation happens, and that's what I did. I reached out 646 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 2: to her after this, and one of the first things 647 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 2: I told her is that I was tired of learning lessons. 648 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 2: I'm basically a professor in certain areas of the dating 649 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 2: and love world, and I'm done learning lessons. I'm done 650 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 2: teaching lessons. I'm done any thing. I just want to love. 651 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 2: I just want to be in love and be loved. 652 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: And I'm tired not of putting myself out there, not 653 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 2: of being vulnerable, not of getting hurt. I'm tired that 654 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 2: I keep having to learn lessons. And one of the 655 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 2: funniest things to me is people will always say, be patient. 656 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 2: Your person is out there, be patient, this is gonna happen. 657 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: I don't think people realize how hard patience is when 658 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 2: you really want something or when you've really been burned 659 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: by something. Patience is not something that can be taught. Unfortunately, 660 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 2: it has to be learned and experienced in very crappy 661 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 2: situations to truly understand the importance of patience. And right 662 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 2: now I don't want to learn any more. Lessons. I 663 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 2: don't want to have patience. I'm tired, and it's really 664 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 2: complicated for me to understand how there are aspects of 665 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 2: my life that are going so well and flourishing and 666 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 2: others are on the complete other spectrum. But this time, 667 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: what's different about this time than the breakup that happened 668 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 2: relationship Prior that time, I was destroyed, devastated. I had 669 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 2: to rebuild every part of my being. I had to 670 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: relearn so many things. But after this relationship ended, I didn't. 671 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 2: And maybe that's where the growth lies. Maybe that's where 672 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 2: my self awareness comes in. And maybe I learned so 673 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 2: much in the three years of being single that it 674 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 2: benefited me greatly for the ending of this one where 675 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 2: I didn't feel lost without him, I didn't need him, 676 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 2: I didn't lose my friends, I didn't lose people in 677 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 2: my life that I love. I kept up with my relationships, 678 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 2: I kept up with my priorities and the things that 679 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 2: matter to me. I did not let that relationship be 680 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 2: my only being. I had a life outside of him 681 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: for myself. And maybe that was the lesson I was 682 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 2: supposed to learn in this Maybe that's a lesson we 683 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 2: all need to learn in things, is that you were 684 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: always supposed to be the priority. You were always supposed 685 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 2: to have your own life, your own things, your own establishments, 686 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 2: your own goals, your own dreams, and somebody's just supposed 687 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 2: to come in and be a partner. I don't know. 688 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 2: You know, I'm sitting here talking to you guys about this, 689 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 2: and I genuinely don't know if that's the lesson I 690 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 2: was supposed to take from this. I don't know if 691 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 2: the lesson that I was supposed to take from this 692 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 2: is ever gonna come up in my life, or if 693 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to be ninety years old sitting and saying, 694 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 2: oh wow, that was the lesson. It's particularly interesting to 695 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 2: me too, because I have learned that my personality type, 696 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 2: which some would call an impath, is directly targeted by 697 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 2: a certain group of people, which is what you have 698 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 2: probably commonly seen online as a narcissist. That's frustrating for 699 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 2: me too. I don't understand. I don't understand why people 700 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 2: can attract themselves to a lighter force and want to 701 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 2: destroy that lighter force. I can't possibly comprehend that either. 702 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 2: It's also another lesson. Maybe I'm learning that, you know, 703 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 2: not all people are good. I want to believe all 704 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 2: people are good. I want to believe that people have 705 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 2: the ability to change and do good and be the 706 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 2: person that they're supposed to be. And maybe that's my lesson. 707 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. Do you see the dilemma I'm sitting 708 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 2: here having these are thoughts that go in my head 709 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 2: all the time, where it's like I'm a pinball machine, Like, 710 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 2: am I gonna bounce this way that way? What's gonna 711 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 2: happen that I need to learn so that I can 712 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 2: move forward? But I know there's a lesson in there somewhere, 713 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 2: and I know that that lesson is the only ability 714 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 2: for me to get to my highest self. And I 715 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 2: hate that. At the end of college, when I completed 716 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,240 Speaker 2: college in three years, I said, oh my gosh, thank goodness, 717 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 2: no more school. I hated school work. It was terrible 718 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 2: at taking tests. I just studied so hard to get 719 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 2: the grades that I got. And so when I finally 720 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 2: no longer had to do school work, I was so excited. 721 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 2: And now I'm sitting here in life and I'm still 722 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 2: learning lessons. I'm still having to journal and take notes 723 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 2: and understand what's going on around me. That's something they 724 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 2: don't teach you about in school, that you're just going 725 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 2: to constantly keep learning and not learning in the way 726 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 2: that you remember learning, no, learning in much more emotionally 727 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 2: difficult ways. So while talking about getting to your highest 728 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: self is important, I want people to have these tools. 729 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 2: I want people to know that they exist, that this 730 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 2: is a possibility to live your life this way. I 731 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 2: also want people to hear from me, in my perspective 732 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 2: and the life that I've experienced this far, is that 733 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 2: getting to your highest self is not going to be easy. 734 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 2: It's not gonna be pretty, and it's gonna hurt, it's 735 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 2: gonna be hard. It's worth it, it's worth figuring out, 736 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 2: it's worth finding yourself on that journey and going through 737 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 2: all these experiences. But it's gonna be fricking hard. And 738 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 2: maybe it looks like mine, maybe it looks totally different. 739 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 2: But I think everyone deserves to feel that and experience 740 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 2: what your highest self is the biggest part of your life, 741 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 2: the most shiny moment where everything is sunshine. I do 742 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 2: believe that that exists. I do believe that's possible. I 743 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 2: know that there's people out there that have experienced it. 744 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 2: Christina is talking about her experience with it, but I 745 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,439 Speaker 2: also acknowledge that for me in this moment, I don't 746 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 2: think I'm quite there yet. I want to be. I'm 747 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 2: shooting to be, and in maybe one of these lessons 748 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 2: that I've learned along the way, it's going to be 749 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 2: the one thing I need for the self awareness, the reflection, 750 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 2: everything to do that. I hope if you're in a 751 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 2: similar situation to me, that this helps you, that you're 752 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 2: hearing me and you're like, oh my gosh, yes, Morgan, 753 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 2: everything you're saying I feel, But I also hope you don't. 754 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 2: I hope you never have to go through half of 755 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 2: these things. I will always appreciate the things that I've 756 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 2: been through that have made me mentally, emotionally, physically tough today, 757 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 2: but I will never wish for anyone to go through them. 758 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 2: And so if you've gone through something, or you're experiencing 759 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 2: heartache similar to me, if you're experiencing career fatigue or 760 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 2: personal moments that are hard, just know that I do 761 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 2: believe there's a sunshine on the other end of it, 762 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 2: but it's going to get really messy before you get there. 763 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 2: And I'm okay with that I'm learning to be okay 764 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 2: with that. It's very nerve wracking for me to be 765 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 2: super vulnerable and basically put my open, wounded heart out 766 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 2: into the world with some of these episodes, but I 767 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,439 Speaker 2: know the importance of it, and I want to keep 768 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 2: making sure to do it, even if I'm just able 769 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 2: to help one person by talking about the crazy things 770 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 2: I've experienced in life.

One of those ideas, which is 775 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 2: one that I also had, I wanted to bring on 776 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 2: one of my very best friends, Julia Cole. She was 777 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 2: also one of my first friends in Nashville, and her 778 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 2: and I are kind of experts in heartbreak. She just 779 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 2: broke off an engagement last year. I'm currently dealing with 780 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 2: heartbreak again, so why not do a designated heartbreak episode? 781 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 2: So that's going to be next week.

Bye friends,
