Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back to the potty. Today. We
Speaker 1: have a very interesting episode for you and we are
Speaker 1: unpacking some of our theories of why you can get
Speaker 1: sick when doing self development. Very niche, very niche, very niche.
Speaker 1: But it has been a topic in the office. It's
Speaker 1: been a topic with me and Tim, so we are
Speaker 1: unpacking it today and it did actually stem from a
Speaker 1: question that was put in the Facebook group a while ago,
Speaker 1: a tear Do you want to read it out?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So the question we got was did anyone find
Speaker 2: they got sick or got the flu and cold when
Speaker 2: they really started to dive deep into their spiritual journey.
Speaker 2: I've really dug deep into the project this week, breaking
Speaker 2: limiting beliefs, meditating and staying in a high vibration, and
Speaker 2: I do feel like I've broken through a wall in
Speaker 2: my new chap dub but I've gotten seek and I'm
Speaker 2: someone who really takes care of her body. I'm a pet.
Speaker 2: Did this happen to anyone else coincidence?
Speaker 1: I think not? Definitely not. So we're not gonna say
Speaker 1: too much. But this is what we're unpacking in this episode.
Speaker 1: But before we get into it, TA, should we do
Speaker 1: some quick recommendations?
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll go first. My first one is journaling. This
Speaker 2: is your.
Speaker 1: Recommendation every week.
Speaker 2: I've done it all right, tell us, I've been making
Speaker 2: a concerted effort to like consistently journal and actually use
Speaker 2: our prompts from our life happens for.
Speaker 1: Me journal, and I feel which one's your favorite.
Speaker 2: My favorites are the go deeper in self reflection one
Speaker 2: and also the knowing your next steps.
Speaker 1: I don't think i've actually done those.
Speaker 2: You should drive all right, I'll do it. And my
Speaker 2: second recommendation, which is a bit random, but and probably
Speaker 2: too late because it's not really winter anymore, an in
Speaker 2: shower moisturizer.
Speaker 1: Like a shower oil.
Speaker 2: No, it's like a lotiony thing that you put on
Speaker 2: in the shower. And I'm super lazy with moisturizing my body,
Speaker 2: so I've started using that, and I've seen a difference.
Speaker 1: What do you then wash it off?
Speaker 2: I can't just leave it there and then with it.
Speaker 2: I still use shower gel like the soap, and then
Speaker 2: let it phone up, and then I put on the
Speaker 2: moisturizer in there, and then I'll still be in the
Speaker 2: shower for a few minutes, so some of it might
Speaker 2: wash off, but most of it. I would say, does.
Speaker 1: Is it a moisturizer for in the shower?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called in shower moisturizer of course. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Interesting, I've actually used I love using shower oil, so
Speaker 1: I use it on especially Ivy because she has certain
Speaker 1: skin conditions, so we stay away from certain products. And
Speaker 1: I love shower oil. It's kind of think like, you know, oil,
Speaker 1: a serum you're put on your face that's like so
Speaker 1: like hydrating, so hydrating. Yeah, so you actually put it
Speaker 1: on in the shower. But because it's an oil, like
Speaker 1: it's kind of like you know, when you've got sunscreen
Speaker 1: on and washed off, you've got to actually use soap
Speaker 1: to wash off, otherwise.
Speaker 2: You're still Yeah, oil and water don't mix. Yeah, so you.
Speaker 1: Can put it on in the shower and then get
Speaker 1: out and you still feel hydrated.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll try that. Yeah, what's your recommendation?
Speaker 1: Well, the shower oil is from Summer Skin. Oh my recommendation.
Speaker 1: I fille you with the product, but yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: shower oil.
Speaker 2: Amazing. Do you have a discal code?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What's it?
Speaker 1: What is it? I think it's just georgy Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so Summer Skins. It's called All in one. I actually
Speaker 1: like fully use it on my face and I also
Speaker 1: use it on Ivy. But it's all natural, so that's
Speaker 1: the reason I recommend it. My recommendation. Okay, it's Nancy Drew.
Speaker 1: Do you recommended this last years day and completely sold
Speaker 1: me on it and one hundred percent recommend it. I'm
Speaker 1: not fully finished it, but it's it's so good, but
Speaker 1: it's also scari as shit.
Speaker 2: It's so good.
Speaker 1: I forgot to do the scariest shit caveat last week.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's actually quite terrifying, but in like a
Speaker 1: fine way. Yeah, I actually like, while you're watching it,
Speaker 1: it's scary, but I wasn't scared.
Speaker 2: After Oh that's aok good. I was slightly scared, like I.
Speaker 1: Could still go to the toilet in the dark, and like,
Speaker 1: oh I could not.
Speaker 2: I turned all the lights before I went.
Speaker 1: To I guess maybe because I sleep next to Tim,
Speaker 1: it's maybe a bit different. But even like last night
Speaker 1: when he was out for dinner. Oh yeah, no, I
Speaker 1: didn't watch it terrifying. Guys, He's actually quite terrifying, but
Speaker 1: in a kind of good way. I personally don't like
Speaker 1: scary movies, neither do I, but we love this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to recommend that in case she didn't
Speaker 1: hear that one. But also before we get into the show.
Speaker 1: I know we've said this and like every interest since
Speaker 1: it happened, but guys, I still cannot get over the
Speaker 1: master class.
Speaker 2: Gosh so good.
Speaker 1: I'm honestly still on a high from it. So it
Speaker 1: was out manifesting with Momentum master class, and it had
Speaker 1: been so long since I'd done a manifestation teaching, and
Speaker 1: I just I just can't It's just I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's given me so much moment Yes, yes to your momentum,
Speaker 1: and I don't know to see the feedback from that
Speaker 1: master class. It's also such a good reminder of, like,
Speaker 1: I know, I practice this, of you know, you should
Speaker 1: be constantly learning, constantly up skilling. It's why I've invested
Speaker 1: in coaches and courses and that sort of thing. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just such a good reminder of how you
Speaker 1: can have an evolution of a practice you already do.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just wanted to add that in.
Speaker 2: I loved it. I watched the replay. Yeah, what did
Speaker 2: you replay? I just loved that. It is very much
Speaker 2: for me, a good add on to the project in that,
Speaker 2: a good reminder, Yeah, a good reminder and just a
Speaker 2: good way to make sure that I'm doing it all
Speaker 2: the time and making the most of Like if you're busy,
Speaker 2: that's the best way to manifest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, being intentional, but the replay is now available so
Speaker 1: you can get instant access to also the challenge workbook
Speaker 1: to implement manifesting because the whole concept do they teach
Speaker 1: in the master class, is to make it a lifestyle
Speaker 1: so it feels second nature. So I also gave you
Speaker 1: guys a twenty one day challenge and certain exercises and
Speaker 1: we're all doing that together. So we're in the second
Speaker 1: week now, but you can obviously do it at any
Speaker 1: point and that is included in the mask Class. Amazing,
Speaker 1: all right, should get into the episode.
Speaker 2: All right, guys.
Speaker 1: So I have this the that when you are doing
Speaker 1: self development, that inner work, that you can sometimes find
Speaker 1: yourself like getting sick, being really drained, not having energy
Speaker 1: and just but maybe like needing to stay in bed
Speaker 1: for like days. And I truly believe it's because you're
Speaker 1: like your energy, like your cells are upgrading. Do we
Speaker 1: love this?
Speaker 2: But I love it?
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I remember I spoke to you
Speaker 1: guys about this and we it's when we were all
Speaker 1: sick back in June or July. Yeah, and everyone was sick,
Speaker 1: like the whole office. It was like one growth, yeah,
Speaker 1: one after the other and I was getting sick, but
Speaker 1: I was also doing some like really huge internal work.
Speaker 1: Then with I currently see like a mind body coach
Speaker 1: and we do a lot of likemal work, and we
Speaker 1: were doing some like really intense stuff and my messuse
Speaker 1: was like, this is literally like your cell's upgrading. If
Speaker 1: you look back at like key moments in your life
Speaker 1: where you did some like you had really pivotal shifts,
Speaker 1: I guarantee you either at that time or a bit
Speaker 1: later on, you got sick. And it's kind of like
Speaker 1: so much is happening internally your body needs to like
Speaker 1: expel whatever it needs to release, and often that can
Speaker 1: come in like tiredness and sickness. We are going to
Speaker 1: put a Facebook group post about this because I really
Speaker 1: want to hear if anyone feels the same way. But
Speaker 1: I think this is a legit thing.
Speaker 2: What do you think, I dear, I oh, I think
Speaker 2: it's one hundred percent of real thing. I even remember
Speaker 2: like in round of the project, people after the Limiting
Speaker 2: Beliefs week writing in like they're like I've been in
Speaker 2: bed for four days. I can't get up, i can't move,
Speaker 2: I'm in so much pain, and it is because of
Speaker 2: that like intense self development. And it's almost like if
Speaker 2: you worked out or like did really heavy exercise all
Speaker 2: of a sudden and you've never done that before. Of
Speaker 2: course there's gonna be a toll on your body. So
Speaker 2: why wouldn't it be the same if you did it
Speaker 2: with your mind?
Speaker 1: Mmmm, oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about it that way, but that it
Speaker 1: makes total sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, of course you're gonna be dye.
Speaker 1: Of course you're gonna be bloody exhausted.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think also something to think about. And the
Speaker 1: reason why we wanted to do this quick episode is
Speaker 1: just I guess validating you because what can happen? And
Speaker 1: me and Tim have spoken about this because he recently
Speaker 1: have has felt I guess, like less energy and motivation
Speaker 1: to to his like self development teams. Interesting, and I
Speaker 1: said to him, I'm like, I think it's because you
Speaker 1: had such a huge momentum at the start of the
Speaker 1: year and upgrade and your body is catching up, and
Speaker 1: it's like it doesn't.
Speaker 2: Always feel good, yeah.
Speaker 1: But it's really important during those moments that it's like
Speaker 1: you still show up. Obviously, take the break and take
Speaker 1: the time, but you still show up and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can, I feel it. And he also has the
Speaker 1: theory that it's like almost like his ego protecting him
Speaker 1: of being like be sick and unmotivated because it's like
Speaker 1: it's too hard to go through the shit, because your
Speaker 1: ego always wants to keep you the same. That's how
Speaker 1: that's how it keeps you safe. We're just taking a

Speaker 1: Now let's get back into the episode. I love If
Speaker 1: you guys are like into this sort of stuff. Louise
Speaker 1: Hay has a book where she goes through, like, you know,
Speaker 1: different problems we have and what she believes causes them. So,
Speaker 1: for example, I was just talking to a girlfriend about this.
Speaker 1: But in the book, if you and it's like literally
Speaker 1: an alphabetical order, you look up your problem and it
Speaker 1: tells you why this would have manifested and like an
Speaker 1: affirmation to like get through it or whatnot. And for example,
Speaker 1: like acne is she says, caused from anger and rejection
Speaker 1: of self, So like you're storing If you think of acne,
Speaker 1: it's like red, you know, yeah, it's literally angry and
Speaker 1: it comes out where you're storing anger that needs to
Speaker 1: be let out, but you're storing it, so it's coming
Speaker 1: out literally in your skin.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And for example, storing anger is like a rejection
Speaker 1: of self because it's like if you felt truly aligned, yeah,
Speaker 1: you would express your anger. And I was like, fuck,
Speaker 1: I had acne back in the day for like years
Speaker 1: on end, and now looking back, one hundred percent, I
Speaker 1: was rejecting myself during that time.
Speaker 2: That's so interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting, and like she goes through so
Speaker 1: many different things and when you look at it, you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's a lot here. Yeah, Wow, you have to get
Speaker 1: that book. It's really good. I'll bring it in. Actually
Speaker 1: I'm literally.
Speaker 2: Got on my bookshelf. Something else I read about is
Speaker 2: that there are a few ways it can actually show
Speaker 2: up the sickness. It's not always like running nose you
Speaker 2: need to be in bed. So I thought i'd list
Speaker 2: some of the examples so that people are aware tell us.
Speaker 2: So one of them is from having all like kind
Speaker 2: of like tim from having all the motivation, your go
Speaker 2: go go, you're fine, everything is great. You'll just have
Speaker 2: like a full crash. And they described it as almost
Speaker 2: like someone pulled the plug on you and your energy's
Speaker 2: just gone, like you've got nothing left in the tank.
Speaker 2: The next one where things like ringing in your ears
Speaker 2: or big headaches can come up when you're going through
Speaker 2: an energetic upgrade, specifically headaches like in your forehead or
Speaker 2: where your third eye would be. So I think that's
Speaker 2: also an interesting one. And when you're having these symptoms,
Speaker 2: it you're beginning to connect more with your body and
Speaker 2: your intuition, and you might have been having them before,
Speaker 2: but now you're actually open and in tune with how
Speaker 2: you're feeling energetically, which you might not otherwise have been prior.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think sometimes especially when people are doing
Speaker 2: their first lot of self development and then they have
Speaker 2: like a full crash, it might not even be like
Speaker 2: an actual crash. It's just them now being able to
Speaker 2: be aware of their energetics.
Speaker 1: And almost like connect to themselves more.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I truly believe most of us are so disconnected to ourselves.
Speaker 1: I agree we're not. Actually we actually don't know how
Speaker 1: we feel.
Speaker 2: This is going a bit rogue.
Speaker 1: But even the concept of you know, drinking alcohol, from
Speaker 1: my experience in the past, it's a lot about you know,
Speaker 1: chasing a feeling or like an escapism of like, oh
Speaker 1: I don't want to think about let's just go out
Speaker 1: and have some drinks of the girls. And it's kind
Speaker 1: of like you don't know how to connect to how
Speaker 1: you're feeling, or you don't how to deal with how
Speaker 1: you're feeling. You don't have the tools for like the
Speaker 1: correct outlet or whatnot. So we use these, you know,
Speaker 1: other things to get by.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but everything we use to.
Speaker 1: Get by is so normalized, so normalized that it's I'm
Speaker 1: guarantee majority us are very disconnected from ourselves like me.
Speaker 1: Included included that I'm not saying I'm superior in anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the reason why I bring that up is because,
Speaker 1: like I said, I've been working with my body coach
Speaker 1: and we have been doing like heart opening stuff, and
Speaker 1: I would have thought, like, my heart is very open,
Speaker 1: like you know, I have a husband, a baby, I
Speaker 1: really lead like a soul aligned business. And it's funny
Speaker 1: because now that I'm doing the work, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, my heart was so closed. Wow, And
Speaker 1: it's you know, it still is to a point. But
Speaker 1: I'm noticing and this kind of interwines of like I'm
Speaker 1: noticing how much resistance I'm having to this work because
Speaker 1: it's really difficult, and it's like it's really not love
Speaker 1: and light stuff, and it's like stuff that I'm like,
Speaker 1: I actually feel really shitty a lot.
Speaker 2: Of the time.
Speaker 1: And so I'm finding so much resistance and I think,
Speaker 1: and obviously I know it's like I'm brave and i
Speaker 1: can do the things, and i know it's going to
Speaker 1: be amazing once I've integrated all the things and gone
Speaker 1: through it. But I guess we just wanted to jump
Speaker 1: on here and be like, if you're going through a
Speaker 1: shitty time, like yeah, maybe you've gotten sick, or you
Speaker 1: are just feeling so disconnected from yourself, or it's like
Speaker 1: it just feels really not great. Yeah, it's like you're
Speaker 1: still on the right track. Yeah, you're still on the
Speaker 1: right path. It doesn't have to like love and Light
Speaker 1: and Rainbows twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2: I felt that a lot when I tried to be
Speaker 2: more vulnerable, m Like I hated And it's not that
Speaker 2: I've ever even had a bad experience being vulnerable. Like
Speaker 2: every time I've ever been vulnerable or I feel super vulnerable,
Speaker 2: only good things have come out of it. But I
Speaker 2: still have that gut reaction of like, no, protect yourself,
Speaker 2: like need to be more closed, be careful what you
Speaker 2: say and think and feel, and yeah, but I know
Speaker 2: there's only good things from it, And I know that
Speaker 2: it's hard, but I know that that's why it's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so interesting.
Speaker 2: It is really interesting.
