But then I entered my corporate law 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.800 job and I realized that settling for a reality that 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.680 didn't set my soul on fire was something I was 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.760 not prepared to do.

Today, 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:45.080 I've got a solo podcast and we are chatting basically, 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:50.200 stop being a control freak. I know, there has been 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.240 a lot of plans that are changing, there's a lot 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.280 of uncertainty. There's a lot of people who they can't 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.000 run their business as they usually would. You know, there's 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.600 been travel plans and not happening in all that sort 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.800 of thing. And as a control freak myself, I really 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.280 just wanted to chat about kind of my headspace and 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.160 how I'm feeling now compared to when everything first happened, 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:23.160 and basically how I'm pivoting personally in business, and yeah, 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.800 just have a chat about that because it is a 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.440 super confusing time. I know, I'm going through like a 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.080 rollercoaster of emotions. Like one day I'm like I'm fine, 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.440 everything is fine, like this is all good, like I 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.560 can get through this, and then the next day I'm 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.639 like a total bull of anxiety and bit of a rex. 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.120 So I know, you guys are probably feeling the same, 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.639 and I just want to have a chat about when 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.639 plans change and how to pivot. So let's get straight 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.640 into it. I kind of have updated you guys just 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:59.800 about I was feeling super overwhelmed when everything happening, just 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.920 a small business owner with naked harvests and Tim you know, 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.320 quit his job at the start of the year, so 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:11.400 our income is solely both based on our online businesses, 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.000 and so it's quite scary when you have two mortgages. 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:19.400 And yeah, anyway, so I was a bit of a 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.240 mess at the start, like I was really struggling to 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.400 get my head around things. I was really in this 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.959 lack mentality, and then I have kind of shifted out 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.359 of that. I know, my last solo podcasts, which will 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.880 be two before this, I kind of spoke about what 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:40.480 I'm doing to shift into more higher positive vibes every 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.760 single day, like I am noticing it's something I have 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.480 to really be conscious and intentional about, whereas usually I'm 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.480 just in that mood already. But I am shifting into that. 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.200 So if you want some more tips on that, I 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.480 would go listen to that podcast. So yeah, I'm just 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.480 shifting into gratitude and shifting into a higher vibe. Being 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.400 very con just about that. And I just wanted to 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.840 chat about it because I heard someone say the other day, 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.680 I'm trying to think about where and when, but someone 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.800 was saying, like, everything is so different, but at the 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.040 same time, everything is the same. They were kind of explaining, 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.960 like everything is so different in regards to how we 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.520 usually do things, what is happening, how we're feeling, but 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:28.920 the basic principles of being human, the basic principles of 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.520 energy and law of attraction and all that sort of 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:37.719 thing are the same. So that means is yes, in business, 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.719 in our personal lives, plans have changed, things are different, 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:46.080 but the same rules that I personally live by, which 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:50.480 is like attracts, like law of attraction, what you focus 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:54.599 on grows, that sort of side of things is the same. 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.520 And if we keep like, if we go back to 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.839 the principles at the basic principles, we work with that 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.440 and we have a lot of trust in what is happening, 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.080 we can get through this. And so within my personal 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:13.320 life and my small businesses, this is such a time 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.920 and I wanted to say this to you guys too, 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:21.080 This is such a time to welcome change, to pivot, 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:26.720 and to be very open minded. So I'll go first 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.240 just through my personal life and explain that a bit 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.880 and what I'm doing there, and then we'll get into business. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.840 So in my personal life, me and Tim had Europe booked. 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:41.520 We haven't been there before, Like, we worked extremely hard 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.640 last year and it was kind of like a big 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.480 trip that we were looking for to we're going to 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:49.000 take a month month off work. We had you know, 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.440 got everyone ready so I wouldn't be working too much, 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.799 which I haven't taken like a holiday where I'm not working, 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.400 you know, I can't remember when. So we were planning Europe. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.599 And then also we had planned to go to New 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.920 Zealand for my birthday in August. We also had like 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:08.120 a lot of friend events on like the last couple 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.960 of weekends. They would have already been gone, but I had, 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:16.440 you know, engagement party Hens. Basically lots was happening socially, 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.920 we're supposed to be in Europe, like everything has changed. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:25.240 And also to be very transparent with you guys, me 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.280 and Tim were thinking, like we had always said that 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.760 we would try for children after we had like ticked 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.000 you know, certain things off the list and a big 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.200 thing and kind of the last thing for us was Europe. 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.839 So we were thinking after New Zealand in August that 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.520 we would maybe try for a little baby. And I 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:50.040 am like not that maternal, so that took a lot 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.920 for me to get my head around, and I think 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.920 that now with everything happening, so we have rebooked our 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.480 Europe trip for next year because our Europe trip was 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.160 actually better based off a holiday that we were doing 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.960 for Tim's brother's wedding, so he's replanned it for next year. 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.200 So it's all basically pushed back a year. And yeah, 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.360 for us, it's like kind of our holiday plans and 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.080 then even like personal baby plans is like push back 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.120 a year plus more. And yeah, I'm not that maternal, 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:25.200 but then like now it's over a year. Way, like 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.760 I feel very I think I got attached to the 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.720 plan a lot, and I just like, yeah, I feel 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.840 a bit sad about it. It feels weird because we 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.840 just have no control. But these are like personal life decisions, 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.280 so we're supposed to have control over us. So I 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.920 totally get you if you are feeling the exact same way. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:52.040 So how I've kind of shifted and pivoted with this, 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.280 And don't get me wrong, guys, like I sat in 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.240 a lot of like sadness and confusion, and I just 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.600 let myself feel those feelings and we are so allowed 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.400 to do that. A big thing I want to kind 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:09.080 of mention is however I'm feeling, however I'm expressing it 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.720 to you. If you don't feel the same, or if 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.120 you're feeling things differently, or if you're feeling them the same, 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:20.120 it is okay. However we're feeling, It's just so okay 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.160 because I know so many of us would just like 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.760 be responding to this whole thing differently, and especially as 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.160 a collective, there is a lot of emotions right now, 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.880 so don't worry if you're getting all the feels or 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.920 if you're not feeling it, etc. So yeah, I was 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.160 definitely super sad, and I had a really crap couple 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.720 of weeks just getting my head around it. But basically 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:47.320 my whole thing is like I create my own reality. 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.920 I get to work with the universe and create how 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.600 I want my life, and I really need to trust 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:59.760 that this is for a great reason and something better 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.560 as happening. So when I like manifest and write goals. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.360 There's always something I say at the end, and I 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.480 always like say my goal, I want it by this 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.160 time or blah blah blah, and then I always say 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.520 this or something better. So obviously I had these goals 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.000 of traveling of maybe you know, trying for a child 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.360 and all this sort of thing, but at the end 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.840 I would be saying this or something better. So it's 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.839 not that manifestation doesn't work, or like I can totally 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.360 understand if you're losing faith in things. I totally get that. 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.520 But I'm just trying to really sit in the or 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.320 this is or something better. So I'm really just giving 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.199 a lot of trust over to whatever you want to 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.240 call it, God, universe, spirit, anything like that, and I'm 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:51.160 just going, Okay, this is my current reality. Something better 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.120 is happening, Like this happened for a reason, like maybe 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.800 when we were supposed to go traveling in May, like 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:01.280 something happened in Europe that wasn't that great, or the 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.440 simple fact of you know, when we do travel next year, 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.680 I am going to appreciate it so much more because 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.360 it was like taken away from me. And I think 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.760 that's also I've spoken to a lot of girls who 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.040 you know, they had their wedding planned, like their wedding 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:18.640 was a couple of weeks away and they had to 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:23.000 cancel their wedding. And I just feel so much for 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:28.480 people who have just had it's like devastation, that devastating feeling. 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.120 I know, there's people who have lost people, and there's 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.520 just there's a lot going on. And that's like I 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.480 was messaging a girl and she was saying, oh, you know, 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.319 my wedding was supposed to happen, and I was supposed 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.240 to go to Italy from my honeymoon, and it's kind 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.880 of like, look, when this is all over and we 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.200 get to travel, we get to do our normal life, 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:51.160 we are going to appreciate it so much more. We 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.360 are going to be so much more present. So I 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.560 am really just like looking at it from that angle, 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.120 and also, to be completely honest, as someone who is 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.840 not that maternal, it was like a nice kind of 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.400 feeling to realize that I actually really did care about, 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.840 you know, wanting to maybe try for a child or 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.600 that sort of thing. And so I'm just really looking 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.560 at everything as a blessing and trusting that the universe 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:22.319 has something better in store and just having faith This 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.360 episode is brought to you by Naked Harvest Supplements. I'm 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.640 sure most of you know who Naked Harvest is, but 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.439 if you are new here, Naked Harvest is the all 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:34.560 natural supplement company I co founded with my brother. Naked 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:38.000 Harvest started because I personally had a really bad experience 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.800 where I found out a supplement that I was taking 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.440 had ingredients that were not disclosed on the label, and 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.560 even though it said it was natural, it wasn't. As 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.600 someone who is so conscious about what I put in 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.520 my body because of previous health issues, this made me 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.800 so upset. So I teamed up with my big brother Cooper, 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:02.240 who is also very health conscious, gluten free and dairy intolerant, 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.480 and we built from the ground up a company that 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.720 really cares about what we put in our supplements, and 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.160 also we've stripped it back to only have the most 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:16.080 necessary and best ingredients. I know we are all going 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.720 through a hard time right now with everything happening in 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.000 the world, and that's why NH really wants to support you. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:26.160 We have planned live community workouts, more healthy recipes to 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:30.000 our blog, and we will be continuously adding more content 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.439 to an NH fit community page.

So, 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:09.000 as you guys know, I have an online business, Naked 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.000 Harvest Natural Supplements, also obviously the podcast and then my 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:17.760 personal brand. And yeah, for the first couple of weeks, 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.120 I was in this mentality where I was like, Oh 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.840 my god, no one's gonna buy anything from Naked Harvest. 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.640 What have we done? Tim has just quit his job. 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:29.200 We're gonna have to sell the house. Like I was spiraling. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.800 I feel extremely lucky because it's not actually that much 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.560 changed in the business because we are an online business, 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.440 and I know there's lots of people who have it 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.360 extremely worse. But I was just in this really weird 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:47.480 place where I couldn't see out of my usual plans, 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.880 and I think that is because I'm a control freak. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.360 So basically we sat down. I sat down with Mel 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:58.520 and Cooper and we're all like, all right, this is happening. 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.760 This is a real thing. How are we going to adapt? 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.040 How are we going to pivot? And so we looked 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:10.000 at Naked Harvest and we have been doing nhfit, which 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.920 is a private Instagram account where we host workouts that 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.120 are approved by a pt and programmed over a month. 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.680 It's kind of like a challenge, and we wanted to 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:24.200 do that all home based, basically no equipment, just to 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.640 suit everyone. And we started that, like we had that 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.400 idea in December and it started in January, so we 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.640 had already been building on this thing. And this is 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.760 why guys like I really have faith in guided action, 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.040 because I remember when I got that idea about NH fit, 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.440 and I was like, oh, maybe we should do blah 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.120 blah blah, and it just seemed like such an odd, 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.600 random idea. And now I look back and I know 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.960 this sounds weird, but like that was such a guided 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:58.240 decision anyway, getting back to it, so I was like, Okay, 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:02.080 we have nh fit really focus on that, and then 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:06.880 the overall vibe for the whole thing was like everyone 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:11.000 is going through a huge change as a collective, we're 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.040 going to be feeling a lot of feelings. And basically 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.640 how we wanted to approach this as a business is 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.960 we wanted to support our community. So we thought, Okay, 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.080 what can we do in business to make sure Naked 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:27.600 Harvest sustains because like this guy's like, we are going 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.400 through a mini recession with everything happening, So it's like, 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.320 what can we do so Naked Harvest survives and we 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.680 can get through this? And then what can we do 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.920 to support our community? Because that like, without our community, 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.080 without our customers, we are nothing, So what can we 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.960 do to support them? And that was our main thing, 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.080 Like we literally wrote that down and so like some 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.960 little shifts. Just as an example, we slowered the entry 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.640 into nh fit so it used to be spend one 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.520 hundred dollars and now it's only spent eighty. We did 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.960 free shipping for a week, and guys like with that 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:09.120 free shipping like for example our samples, Like so we're 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.200 doing free shipping on samples and how much they cost us? 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.280 And then how much we have to pay for shipping 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.920 for you guys to get it free. We were like 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:21.480 just breaking even if not losing money. But the whole 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.800 focus is on community. So it was like it was like, 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.280 it's not even at this moment with business, I wouldn't 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:32.600 be focused on growth and like growing your profit and 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.040 all that sort of thing. I would just really be 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:40.440 focused on sustaining, keeping your customers, keeping your community happy, 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.640 and supporting them. Like that's exactly what we're doing. Yep. 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.960 So we dropped our entry into end h fit, we 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.400 did free shipping, and then we also started the life workout. 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:54.720 So we had this chat and we're like, okay, everyone 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.080 is now working out from home. Yes we've got n 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.440 h fit, but that is they've got to pay to 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.880 get in it. So what can we offer the community 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:07.639 completely for free, like you know, within our sphere of 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.520 skills and professions. And I'm not a pet, but I 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.560 obviously work out every single day, and so we came 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.160 up with let's do live workouts with the community. It's 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.199 good because you know, people are in isolation, so at 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.840 least they feel like they're working out with someone and 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.280 will create that community feel. That has been one of 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:32.240 the best steps that we did because for me personally, 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:37.280 I am loving the workouts so much because it is 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.760 keeping me motivated, it is keeping me like really in 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.919 tune with you guys and what you guys are doing. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.639 And then also it's like it helps with our end 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.320 hate gang and all that sort of thing. So basically, 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:55.360 for business wise, like my advice, in my personal opinion, 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.480 I would just be thinking, how can you support your 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:03.000 customer more than ever right now? Like what do they 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.920 need right now from your profession or your set of skills, 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:11.000 and how can you give that to them externally and 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:15.480 online and for a pretty good price or like something 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:20.440 that really gives value and support to them. And then 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.600 also look at your business and think of how maybe 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.440 you can pivot or just like throughout the real book 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:30.960 and just see what works. Another thing I wanted to 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.720 talk about is for the last couple of months previous 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:40.320 I have really been craving like connection with like minded 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:46.080 people like community wise, and so I did last year 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:50.280 three live podcast events with Maddie from The Healthy Hustlers, 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.840 and we plan to well we don't know if it's 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.000 going to happen now, but we plan to do them 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.040 this year. Later in the year, so hopefully we can 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.520 still do those, but I was really craving kind of 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:05.920 like an intimate connection because obviously in the big events, 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:07.960 like we can meet people after, but it's not like 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.480 you get to sit down and have a chat. So 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.640 me and mel were brainstorming and we thought of how 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.480 we can do something like that. And so we actually 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.240 had been planning this for a while, and we're gonna 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.119 announce it. I think it like maybe this week. And 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:28.320 we had actually planned like an intimate self development workshop 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.439 day with me where I would meet up with like, 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:36.000 you know, maybe fifteen girls who all in the same 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:41.960 headspace of wanting connection, of basically wanting to take the 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:47.080 next step, interested in investing in themselves, interested in self development, 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.240 and so I would take you through this day of 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:55.600 basically the tools and formula I use at any like 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.719 next step in my life. And so we had been 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.560 planned this, We're about to announce it, and then everything 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:07.159 happened and we were like, oh, okay, we obviously cannot 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.520 do this because you know, it was going to be 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.199 in this event space, and we had already got that 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.320 all organized, and we you know, we want to be safe, 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.920 we want to be complying with everything that is happening. 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.040 We want to be flattening the curve. And also we 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.600 don't know when this is going to finish. So instead 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:25.960 of just like sitting there and being like, oh my god, 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.800 you know, my intimate workshop day is ruined. I can't 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.920 do it. Me and Mel now are actually thinking of 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.800 how can we take this externally online? And we have 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.959 a pretty good kind of idea and direction we're currently 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.760 planning it. So keep your eyes peeled if that kind 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.320 of sounds like something that you would be interested in. 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:49.600 And that is the whole thing, guys. It's kind of like, yup, okay, 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:53.120 that's not happening. What can I do now? How can 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.320 I bring this online? How can I do this externally? 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.960 How can I support people during this time? That's basically 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.840 what you want to be looking at. It's a pretty 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.320 cool time to try different stuff, to get out of 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:10.639 your comfort zone and to support people around you and 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.520 just see what works, see what sticks. Like, don't get 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.440 caught up too much in the what other people are 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.120 doing or what you're supposed to do. For me. What 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.680 I do in kind of like a crossroads is it's 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.560 the best time to like get quiet, to make sure 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.800 you're meditating, to make sure you're focusing on self care. 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:34.679 I'm a big journaler, so I have been journaling so much, 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:37.520 like every single day, I'm asking myself how I am, 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:41.720 I'm checking in, I'm asking myself what I need today, 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.440 and all that sort of thing. And I think another 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.920 thing I just want to finish on is realizing that 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:53.960 this time of stillness too might come at the perfect 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.320 time for you to do nothing. So I know, personally, 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.399 I just spoke about how I'm pivoting and base sickly 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.560 instead of going on holidays and all these fun social plans, 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:07.359 I'm getting more into my business that might be completely 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.480 opposite to you, and this might be the perfect time 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:13.439 to really chill out and slow down, because you know, 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:18.320 maybe burnout was coming. Maybe this has happened to you 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.679 at the exact right time of what you need. I 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.760 was actually looking and a girl that I follow, I 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.720 think she's like she's some sort of like life coach 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.800 or something, and basically she was like, hey, guys, I'm 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:34.359 actually taking a two week break off social media to 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.800 really just like focus on myself. And she explained that 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:41.199 she was going inwards and that's the feeling that she 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:45.200 was getting was that, and so she really just was like, Hey, 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.400 I'm actually going to take this time to slow down, 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:50.159 not be on here, do my own things. So like 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:53.920 that is exactly what I want you guys to do, 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:56.760 is not just be frantic and be like, oh my god, 0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:58.640 what have I got to do? What's everyone else doing? 0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:01.879 But go inwards and be like, Okay, what do I 0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.200 feel cool to do right now? Do I feel cool 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.800 to start something new, to start working on something new, 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.320 or to learn a new skill, or is it do 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:13.160 I feel cool to actually take this time to really 0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:17.680 chill out, to actually do nothing, to go more inwards 0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:21.960 because it's going to be so different for everyone. All right, guys, 0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.239 I'm going to wrap up this episode. I hope that 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:29.320 was insightful or interesting to just give you an update 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.879 on how I'm feeling, what I'm doing in business, and 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.760 how I'm pivoting and dealing with change during this time. 0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:38.639 So thank you so much for listening. I really appreciate 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:41.679 you guys tuning in every single week. Sending you so 0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:45.639 much love. Guys. Bye, and that's a wrap on another 0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.480 episode of the Rise and Conquer podcast. I hope you 0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:50.720 got something valuable from it, and I want to say 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:53.680
