I really 18 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: forgot how powerful in person connection is, and I think 19 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: I do talk about in the episode of for a 20 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,919 Speaker 1: couple of years, like before COVID we did a podcast event, 21 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: and then I kind of was really not liking in 22 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: person events, Like I just I felt like it took 23 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: so much energy from me, and I kind of stepped 24 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: away from that, and then COVID hit and then you know, 25 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: we've been getting back into in person connection and I've 26 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: been loving our Rise and Conquer events. Like being with 27 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: like mine community for three nights was so powerful. It 28 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: was so cup feeling. I did not feel, you know, drained, 29 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: Like I came away from the retreat feeling so good. 30 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: If you are craving that in person connection, you're going 31 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: to love this episode because we really get into like 32 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: what we went through, a lot of like interesting personal 33 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: stories from people who attended the event. Really powerful. So 34 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: I hope you like this episode, and we definitely will 35 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: be running another Rise retreat, probably early next year, maybe 36 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: like Feb or March. You do need to be a 37 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: RISE member. That's where we always post it first, and 38 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: that did sell out before we posted it to the public, 39 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: So if you're in our Facebook group or if you're 40 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: in Rise, you're always the first ones to know. Also, 41 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: I just wanted to give you guys a little weekly recommendation. 42 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: So I have been listening to an audio book called 43 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: The Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. It's all about self 44 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: image and it's really really interesting if you love, you know, manifesting. 45 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: I feel like it really gives like a science background 46 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: to manifesting. But it's talking about self image, so what 47 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: you think about yourself and what you believe about yourself. 48 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: I am only halfway through, but I am loving it, 49 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: so I wanted to recommend it to you guys. All right, 50 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: let's get into the episode. So the Rise Retreat, we 51 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: actually called it Connect and Create, and why we did 52 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: this was, you know, clearly the connection aspect of having 53 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: around twenty incredible women all in one spot who are 54 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: on the same wavelength, who are interested in the same things, 55 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: who want to know about more of the same things, 56 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: but who don't know each other, and then create because 57 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: we did do our retreat in last weekend of August, 58 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: so we were just about to go into spring, so 59 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: we were creating a new vision for the next twelve months. 60 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: So in this episode, we just wanted to chat a 61 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: little bit of like what went on in the retreat, 62 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: our greatest takeaways and so let's just start with the itinery. 63 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: So First of all, we arrived on Thursday and we 64 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: got there about ten thirty. We set up all the 65 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: beds and we laid out some beautiful goodies. We had 66 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: some goodies from Summer Skin Naked Harvest, say, like a 67 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: beautiful magnesium bath salt thing and a gorgeous jade roller 68 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: as well. Yes, so the galies got those goodies when 69 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: they arrived. And then everyone got here around twelve thirty, 70 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: and then we went straight into meditation and yoga. We 71 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: really wanted everyone to just drop in relax. We had 72 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people flying from like Sydney, Cans, a 73 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: lot of different places, so we knew that they might 74 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: feel a bit rushed, a bit frishled. So yeah, straight 75 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: into meditation and yoga, and then we had a delicious lunch. Guys, 76 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: the food there was so good, Oh my god, eleven 77 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: out of ten hey tt. The retreat overall was amazing, 78 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: and I honestly would probably happily go just for the food. 79 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: That's how good the food was. So there's two beautiful chefs. 80 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: They're like a husband and wife, older couple, and she 81 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: doesn't use recipes and she just like does her thing 82 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: and he just like helps out and he was really funny. 83 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: He was so funny. And guys, the food is just 84 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: like so wholesome, so many veggies. It was mostly vegetarian, 85 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: but we did have meat. I think the last night, Yeah, 86 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: we had fish. We had fish, and it's so good. 87 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: And there's always veggies and saucers and pastors. And one 88 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: night was like tie. There was like a South Asian Yeah, 89 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: just lots of taste happening. It was incredible. So sorry. 90 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: Going back to Thursday, we had lunch and then that 91 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: afternoon we just wanted to do a really like get 92 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: to know each other exercise and so of course we 93 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: brought our connection cards and we got the girls into 94 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: groups of about five and they went through question each 95 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: and it was so beautiful because I saw quite a 96 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: few people getting quite emotional, sharing some very vulnerable things, 97 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: and I just feel like that was such a great 98 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: icebreak card to be like, this is a safe place. 99 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: We're here to get deep and to get vulnerable. So 100 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: the girls loved that. And then we had dinner and 101 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: then we did a letting go ceremony. So basically what 102 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: we explained to the group was, you know, the next 103 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: couple of days we're going to be creating a clear 104 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: vision for what you want to call in for the 105 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: next twelve months. And so we want you guys to 106 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: really let go of what is no longer serving you, 107 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: what's kind of like in your field that you just 108 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,239 Speaker 1: want to, yeah, let go of. And so we wrote 109 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: down on a piece of paper and then we either 110 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: said it or we didn't have to say it, and 111 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: then we burned it in a fire and like a 112 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: beautiful fire ceremony. Hatt this one was one of my 113 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: favorite parts of the retreat because it was like nighttime. 114 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: The stars were beautiful that night as well, and we 115 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: were all outside with the fire, and everyone was so 116 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: vulnerable and open to sharing, and even some people that 117 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: didn't like you could just see what an effect doing 118 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: this exercise had on them and just like letting go 119 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: of whatever they felt was holding them back or restricting them. 120 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: And it was so powerful and I highly recommend you 121 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: do something like this if you haven't ever tried. I 122 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: know we all got quite emotional, didn't we. I think 123 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: it's again it's these sorts of things we tend to 124 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: just push them down and suppress them, and so actually 125 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: writing them down, speaking them it is it's super emotional. Yeah, 126 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: it was beautiful. Okay, So then we go straight into Friday. 127 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: Every single morning we had a sunrise meditation and breath 128 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: work and journaling. When I say sunrise, is that seven am? 129 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: It's not actually sunrise, but basically we would wake up 130 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: about six. The property is so beautiful, it's like it's 131 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: in Monvilla, so it's like beautiful acreage. So we did 132 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: a little walk around the property most mornings, and then 133 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: we went straight to yeah, journaling. Brooklyn, who owns Yoga Ball, 134 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: would take the class and do intentions. And I loved 135 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: the journaling because it really built on the last day 136 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: and you were kind of answering the same questions, but 137 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: you could really see the difference day to day. And 138 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: then yeah, we did yoga and meditation, and then we 139 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: had breakfast, and then we got into our first workshop 140 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: of the retreat, and I ran everyone through a manifesting 141 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: workshop where we really worked on their vision for the 142 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: next twelve months, getting clarity and then also creating the 143 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: self concept to execute that vision. And this was such 144 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: a fun exercise. I took them through a meditation first 145 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: of all, just to like really get them in the vibe. 146 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: I think I might even do that meditation for the 147 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: rise app you should did you like it? I loved it. 148 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: I obviously made it up and I felt I had 149 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: a lot of great feedback from that. So we went 150 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: through a meditation and then basically I just got them 151 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: to write in all the different areas of their life, 152 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: like what they actually want, but not from us because 153 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: everyone else has it from like this beautiful, grounded heart, 154 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: scentered space and just in the next twelve months, so 155 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: like not over complicating it with like, you know, big, 156 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: big goals. That workshop ran for a good three to 157 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: four hours and then we had lunch, and then every 158 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: afternoon we had free time, which was we would do 159 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: ice bar sauna, lay by the pool, read our books 160 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: and just relax. And that was so nice. Me and 161 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: a tear We're saying the free time aspect was really 162 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: weird to us at the start. It's so weird because 163 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: we were like, let's do, let's do. I was like, 164 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: should I run a limiting belief? And Brooklyn, the owner 165 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: of Yoga bul was like, you know, like these women, 166 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,239 Speaker 1: it's so good to have the yoga and the practices 167 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: and the workshops, but also they are coming here to 168 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: shut down and shut off and they actually need this 169 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: space to do that, And that was probably we'll get 170 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: into reflection soon. But like one of my biggest reflections 171 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: is I don't have a lot of time for myself. 172 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: Even if I say, oh, but I'm doing all the things, 173 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: I don't actually have just like space. And it felt 174 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: so weird. It felt so odd like I remember looking 175 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: at and you guys might find yourself thinking this, so 176 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: just like keep this in the back of your mind. 177 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: When I read the itinery, I was like, gosh, there's 178 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: a lot of free time on here. Do we need 179 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: that much time to do nothing? But yeah, when we 180 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: start talking about the reflections and stuff, I think it'll 181 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: make a lot more sense why that's there. So then 182 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: we had dinner and then we had a just we 183 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: did yoga every night before bed, which was honestly amazing. 184 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: If I didn't have a husband and baby, I would 185 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: do yoga before bed every night, like go to a class. Yeah, 186 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: I just I loved the intentionality of it, the fact 187 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: we had to be off our phones. We went to 188 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: this yoga meditation and then you just like roll into bed. 189 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: And then Saturday was much the same as Friday, but 190 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: the workshop we did a vision board workshop, which was 191 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: so much fun. Guys. Everyone just got so into it 192 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: and it was really cool because obviously, like Friday, we're 193 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: like letting go and then Saturday we're getting clear. But 194 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: the Saturday workshop still felt quite heavy because it was 195 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: like really like what do I want? How do I 196 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: want to feel? And then I feel like the Saturday workshop. 197 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: The third workshop was just like beautiful because it felt 198 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: so high vibe and everyone felt so excited. And then yeah, 199 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: we did you know, free time, lunch, dinner, restorative yoga, 200 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: and we did a Cocow ceremony. I'm loving thinking about 201 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: after the Coco ceremony, so like we do this Cocow ceremony, 202 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: We're all so relaxed, so relaxed, and then everyone was 203 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: just like giggling. It's got some interesting things in it. Yeah, anyway, 204 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: so we go back to the room and then at 205 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: this point Jamie had actually gone because she was going 206 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: to Bali on her holiday, so she left that morning 207 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: and so it was just me, a Tia, and Georgina 208 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: in our room and a Tea starts talking about like, OK, 209 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: what was gonna blame me? I did start the conversation 210 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: talking about Egypt. Yeah, and I was saying, how my 211 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: friend's going to Egypt and blah blah blah, and then 212 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: you brought in the conspiracy theories, which they were so good, 213 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: they were so much so we won't get into them. No, 214 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: we'll probably be canceled at this point. And then it's 215 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: so funny. I I actually did start to like get 216 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: creeped out myself and just like a bit freaked out. 217 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: But I like said to Georgina, can this door lock? 218 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: And she's like no, and she's like no, why, why 219 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: why you say that? You freaking me out? And I 220 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: was like, Georgina, we're in the middle of nowhere in 221 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: this house with people we don't know. And I was 222 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: absolutely taking the piss because everyone there was so nice. Yeah, 223 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: like it was not like that at all, and I 224 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: was absolutely taking the piss, but I was freaking Georgina out. 225 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: And then I just I'm so mean. I just kind 226 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: of got funny and I just kept going yeah, and 227 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: then she like needed to go to the toilet and 228 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: she was like, you have to come with me. It 229 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: was so so it's giving very like it was sleepover vibes. 230 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: It was it kind of felt like we're at camp 231 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: or something literally like school camp. Like I was like, 232 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: why is this the best thing ever? So much fun? 233 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: And like I think just being with a whole bunch 234 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: of women, it's just so fun, you know, conversations that 235 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: you're not going to have unless you're with people that 236 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: you feel really safe with. And yeah, so sorry, getting 237 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: back to it. And then Sunday morning we did our 238 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: usual yoga, journaling intentions, meditations, and then we had breakfast 239 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: and then we packed up and we left. Yeah, and 240 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: it was the best time ever. I missed already. I know, 241 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: everyone there was just so beautiful. They really were vulnerable. 242 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: They really stepped into that space where they were like 243 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to show up, I'm going to be here, 244 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to be present. And it filled up my 245 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: cup so much. Even as someone who was there, you know, 246 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: somewhat hosting, I left feeling so charged. Me too, did you, Yeah, 247 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Like I felt like I'd been on 248 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: a three week holiday but it was a four week retreat. Yeah, 249 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: it was so like restorative. It was actually perfect because 250 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: everything felt closed, like you didn't feel like it was 251 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: ending too early. People weren't at the point where they're 252 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: like getting grumpy because they need to go home. Like 253 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: it was just a perfectly undafed amount of time that 254 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: we needed and just like the layout and the itinerary, 255 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: we're just like literally perfect. I also just I want 256 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: to say a couple stories from the community members. Obviously 257 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: you won't name names. Yeah, we had a beautiful woman 258 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: who she was a little bit older, and she was 259 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: going through a huge career change, and she really felt 260 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: lost and she really was struggling with slowing down, tapping 261 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: into herself like she did the journaling workshop where we 262 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: get clear on what we want, and we had a 263 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: beautiful private discussion where she was so emotional because she 264 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: was like, I don't know what I want, Like I 265 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: don't know who I am. I've never done this work. 266 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: It was just so beautiful to have someone who, yeah, 267 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: has never really done self development, has never really done 268 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: anything like that is connecting back with themselves, and then 269 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: to see her progress over a very short time getting 270 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 1: into the journaling, getting into the yoga and meditation, asking questions. 271 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: We had a beautiful private conversation. She came to me 272 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: at the start and she just said, look, I don't 273 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: really do this. She was there for her sister she's like, 274 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: can we have like just a bit of a one 275 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: on one because I would love to connect to myself more. 276 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: And so we did that and it very much was 277 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: you know, in her job. She had a very like 278 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 1: high pressure, high, very intense career and she was leaving that, 279 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: and she had so much identity in her career that 280 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: she almost felt like, well, who am I now and 281 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: what am I good for? And I very much noticed 282 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: this like self worth of like, well, she didn't have 283 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: her career, she didn't feel worthy. And so we really 284 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: worked through that. She had daughters, and I was talking 285 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: a lot to her about her not needing to have 286 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: it all figured out because she's like, oh, but I 287 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: don't want to talk to anyone about these problems because 288 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to put anything on my daughters. And 289 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: her daughters were like adult daughters. And I was like, 290 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: trust me from someone who has had a mom who 291 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: didn't show me a lot of her perfections. Her showing 292 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: me her perfections just made us closer. It made me 293 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: feel like I don't have to be perfect. It like 294 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: it really connected us. And so we had this beautiful 295 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: conversation and she came away from the retreat and it 296 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: was just like night and day, like she had changed 297 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: so much, and she was, Oh my god, thank you 298 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: for opening me up to this work. I got our 299 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: own to the Rise app. Because she'd never done like 300 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: a meditation. She always felt like so much chatter in 301 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: her head. She always felt like she wasn't worthy unless 302 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: she was like doing like not only in her career, 303 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: but just like cleaning, helping with the kids, helping with 304 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: her husband, like all those sorts of things. So she 305 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: had such an incredible transformation in literally a couple of days, 306 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: and I just felt so because I was like, oh 307 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: my god, this is what it's about. And I loved 308 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,239 Speaker 1: in her reflection she said to the group like she 309 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: was like, I'm so proud of all you guys being 310 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: here and doing this work so young, because I was 311 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: never illuminated to it, Like I never was shown this work, 312 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: and I really wish I was, So I loved.

She came to Australia with her 319 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: partner and she deals with a lot of internal conflict, 320 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: a lot of anxiety, a lot of shame, guilt, everything 321 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: around that situation.

And for her to like, 330 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: I explain to the women on the retreat like it's 331 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: I get beautiful messages and beautiful reviews, and you know 332 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: in our dms a here like we get amazing feedback. 333 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: But it's a different experience when someone is looking you 334 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: in the eye and saying what they've been through and 335 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: how the podcast or the rise app has helped them 336 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: so deeply in something that I can't even like comprehend 337 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: or begin to understand what it feels like and oh 338 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: my god, I'm getting like emotional me too. It really 339 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: put things in perspective for me, and it really was 340 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: this is why we do what we do, and I 341 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: will never stop doing this work because hearing stories like that, 342 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: I know, and being around people like that, it was 343 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 1: just the most special, special thing ever. Yeah, it was 344 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,719 Speaker 1: just wild. It was so beautiful. The people there, I 345 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: just I can't, I just yeah, I literally miss them. Yeah, 346 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 1: can we have another sleep Bob. Well, it's so funny 347 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: because we're definitely gonna do another retreat and they're like, 348 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: tell us first because we all get first tips. I'm like, 349 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: it's just going to be the same people every year. 350 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: It's a reunion. Yeah. We won't even be able to 351 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: like market it or anything. So key takeaways t T. 352 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: I think one thing we'd all we had all spoken 353 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: about in the car on the way home was how 354 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: much the slow morning helped us waking up, being present, 355 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: taking the time to journal, meditate, and dow yoga. For me, 356 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: I guess I always had a bit of a limiting 357 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: belief that that would take too long and I don't 358 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: have the time in my day to facilitate that. But 359 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: we realized it took us an hour. Yeah, Like it 360 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: wasn't that long, and it honestly, I'm not even exaggerating, 361 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: like it felt like this two to three hour long 362 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 1: morning routine, but when you look at the time, it 363 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: was only an hour. I could get up an hour 364 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: earlier before Jym to do this to start my day 365 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: like this, I haven't yet. Yeah, No, I've started with 366 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: like a meditation, like I wake up and I meditate. 367 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: That was such a key takeaway for me, and that 368 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: like the things you want aren't actually that far away 369 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: from you, and sometimes your head of it takes too 370 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: long or it won't fit in my life gets in 371 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: the way, and like all that noise stops you from 372 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: actually being able to implement beautiful things like that into 373 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: your life. So true, Yeah, I think again. I felt 374 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: like the first day I felt almost a bit uncomfortable. 375 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, there's way too much 376 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: free time. I almost also was like projecting onto the 377 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: group two of like, oh, I don't want them to 378 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: be like bored or not feel like they're getting, you know, 379 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: what they need. But Brooklyn was so good of like 380 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: really reassuring us and being like trust us, they need 381 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: to drop in. They need to slow down, and so 382 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: do you. I think also a key takeaway for me 383 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: was the connection. Again, I think I get quite stuck 384 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: in my ways because I work with, you know, a 385 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 1: group of incredible women and we're all in the office together, 386 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: and I have so much of those connection points during 387 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: the week and in my work. I don't really seek 388 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: too much outside of work. I think I usually have 389 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: like a walk with a girlfriend every single week, not 390 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: like the same girlfriend, like very yes, and that's wrote 391 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: a roster. I honestly have a roster of hot girl 392 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: walks with girlfriends. You know who you are. But I 393 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: did think, oh, I think I do want to have 394 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: a bit more connection, whether it's retreats, whether it's events 395 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: or just like an event for the day. I am 396 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: very much seeking that. And it was very much the 397 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: vibe of sisterhood, Like that's a word that kept popping 398 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,479 Speaker 1: up for me, or I am craving this sisterhood, Like 399 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm craving the circle of women who we can absolutely 400 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: be ourselves and it's like this very vulnerable, deep work. 401 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: I so agree, Like it felt so magical being able 402 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: to be that vulnerable, that open with every single person 403 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: there and when you think about it, twenty people is 404 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,719 Speaker 1: a lot of people. Yeah, and most people came on 405 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: their own. There were a few people that came with 406 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: a friend or their sister, but everyone was there pretty 407 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: much on their own talking toever. No one had to 408 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: try and get a seat next to someone at lunch 409 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: because everyone was so comfortable talking to anyone and everyone. 410 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: And I think there's so much power in that that 411 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: everybody there was able to hold space for each other 412 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: and have these deep, vulnerable conversations where you unpack things together. Like, yeah, 413 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: we had free time, but it was a mix of 414 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: just like lounging around by the pool, but also having 415 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: these amazing, expensive conversations with each other going through what 416 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: we'd learned or journaled on or what we were grateful for. 417 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: That filled me up so much, and it also shows 418 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: you the standard of what is possible if you're someone 419 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: who has struggled to make female friendships and have people 420 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 1: really hold you in your bigness. One of the women 421 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: were talking about how they had been on only fans 422 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: and we just like there was the best response everyone 423 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: in the group. There was no judgment. Everyone was like, 424 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: oh my god, tell us more. I would love to know, 425 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: like tell us how it works. I've never really understood, 426 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: and so much empowerment. There was zero judgment, there was 427 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: zero bitchiness, and obviously it's because we very much set 428 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: the container at the start of the retreat and that 429 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: you know, that is the vibe and obviously it's the 430 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: rise and conquer community. So that turn out of ten, yeah, 431 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: like they're pretty good. They are ten out of ten. Again, 432 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: just showing you what is possible for your friendships, especially 433 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: your female friendships. I felt like that was such a 434 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: huge illumination. Also for me, it was so opening of like, 435 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that's just amazing people everywhere. Yes, like 436 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: there isn't a bunch of evidence of amazing humans that 437 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: I haven't even met and connected with yet. If you 438 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: are having troubles in your friendships where maybe they're just 439 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: not quite right or there's something that's feeling a little 440 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: bit off, you shouldn't be scared to let it go 441 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: because I guarantee you they will be someone waiting that's 442 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: like the most beautiful, expansive, amazing human being that's just 443 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: around the corner for you. And I loved because like 444 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: the range of people at the retreat from I think 445 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: like twenty to almost sixty years old, like such a 446 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:23,239 Speaker 1: range of ages, of backgrounds, of jobs, of careers like 447 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: stay at home moms, Like everyone could hold a conversation. 448 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: I sat next to someone different at every single breakfast, lunch, 449 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: and dinner and we just had the best chats and 450 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: they asked me some really beautiful questions too. That's what 451 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: I would say, guys, is like, how you can be 452 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: someone who people want to spend time with you is 453 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: like ask good questions. Yeah, that's such a big thing. 454 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: It is such a big thing. You know. What I 455 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: have taken away from it was definitely the space. And 456 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: I actually booked myself a two night retreat at like 457 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: a local place by myself. Ah, completely solo, which I've 458 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: never done. So proud of you. So I'm so excut 459 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: of that. But any last takeaways or anything to finish 460 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: tt I do have one. So something that really came 461 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: through for me in the free time was I was like, 462 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: I still try to make my free time productive and 463 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: that's a problem. Oh yeah. We had the whole conversoy 464 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: tation about this. Yeah. My free time, I would say, 465 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: is going to get a massage or going and doing 466 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: this thing, and it's like you need to have free 467 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: time that has no productive outcome whatsoever, like literally just 468 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: laying by the pool. You don't even need to read 469 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: a book, like literally just lie by the pool. Anyway, 470 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: my loves, we just wanted to give you a bit 471 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: of an insight.
