1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm someone who finds it so uncomfortable, but I sit 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: with it and I feel it, and then I get 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: the feeling out. And that has been a game changer, 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: justin sort of feeling feelings and being more connected to 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: my inner self.

Let's get straight 29 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: into the show. So number one, and it's nothing new 30 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: or exciting, but this is very much a principle that 31 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: I now live my life by, and it's everything happens 32 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: for a reason, and I need to be trusting in 33 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: the process. So the reason why I'm bringing this up 34 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: is obviously I started my law degree and finished out 35 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: for like six years. God admit, as a lawyer, did 36 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: my pot and now I'm doing something so different and 37 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: I often get asked if you know I regret doing that, 38 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: and the answer is definitely no. I am such a 39 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: big believer in that needed to happen for me to 40 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: become the person I am today, and even kind of 41 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: looking at it a little bit closer, like the skills 42 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: I developed through working for the law firm I did 43 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: even through working through my law degree, I had various 44 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: jobs where I developed a lot of skills, and then 45 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: obviously the law degree also comes in handy, just with 46 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 1: various skills and life skills. And just like a little example, 47 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: so I hired mel in twenty eighteen and she really 48 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: helped me transform my business from this kind of like 49 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: influencer personal brand to what it is now where it's 50 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: very multifacet and you know, there's lots going on, and 51 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: to be honest, I think a lot of that was 52 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: me taking myself more seriously and giving myself more responsibility 53 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: because I now had someone on my team. A lot 54 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: of that was also realizing when I was working in 55 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 1: the law firm that people worked so much better than 56 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: a team. You know, that whole saying if I want 57 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: to go quick, I'll go by myself. If I want 58 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: to go far, I'll go with the team. I think 59 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: that's right. But I'm such a big believer in that. 60 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: And then even kind of little thing, so for example, 61 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: I obviously work with brands and partnerships within my personal brand, 62 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: whether that's in a sponsorships on Instagram or YouTube, or 63 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: even if it's you know, to do with the podcast 64 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: or Naked Harvest and the biggest feedback that I have 65 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: ever gotten is how professional my communication is, just in 66 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: regards to you know, emailing people, getting back to people 67 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. And the kind of most 68 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: common thing that comes up is people give me the feedback. 69 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: With other social media influences, sometimes it's a little bit 70 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: hard to work with them. And I've even noticed this 71 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: within Naked Harvest, because we obviously work with influencers. Is 72 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: you can really notice the people who kind of don't 73 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: have the skill of even just writing an email and 74 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: getting back to you, you know, within a good standard 75 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: amount of time. And I think that's because a lot 76 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: of social media influences these days probably go straight from 77 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: high school and like Instagram is kind of like their 78 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: part time job, and they go straight into doing it 79 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: full time, and it really shows that they haven't got 80 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: those basic kind of life skills of working in a 81 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: team or you know, having customers and that sort of thing. 82 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: So honestly, my path, everything that has happened, I would 83 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: not change a thing. Everything has happened exactly how it 84 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: should and even things happening now, I just always tell myself, 85 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: I'm like, trust in the process. This is all happening 86 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: for a reason. So that's a very broad, big one, 87 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: hitting it straight out, all right. So the next lesson 88 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: is really changing my mindset on things happen for me 89 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: not to me. So when I left high school, I 90 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: definitely wasn't like a negative person or too much in 91 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: a negative mindset, But I wasn't exactly positive, and I 92 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: wasn't I don't know, like I kind of the only 93 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: way I can describe it is I was kind of 94 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: just going through the motions. So you know, when something 95 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: bad happened, I would blame it on bad luck or 96 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: get annoyed or something like that, and if something good 97 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: happens again, it would just be like, oh, that's good luck. 98 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: And I look back, and there's certain times that you know, 99 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: I didn't get the job I wanted, or I didn't 100 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: get some opportunity I wanted. But in reality, when I 101 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: look back, these things happened for me, not to me, 102 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: because something else better was just around the corner. So 103 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: I've got two example stories for you. The first one 104 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: is with Timothy, my husband, So when I met him, 105 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: A little backstory is maybe two months before that, I 106 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: was with my high school boyfriend for three maybe three years, 107 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: off and on and he completely broke my heart, like 108 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: right before formal and QCs, like that big test that 109 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: everyone does in grade twelve, right before that, and I 110 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: was like a mess. I was like, proper, I just 111 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: have this clear vision of my parents coming into my 112 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: room and me just being like hysterically crying like the 113 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: most dramatic little person ever. But anyway, and I just 114 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: thought it was the worst thing ever. I just thought, 115 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: how can this happen to me? I was meant to 116 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: with this person? Blah blah blah. Anyway, a couple of 117 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: months later, I met Tim And the only reason why 118 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: I met Tim was because of the X. I kind 119 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: of started talking to Tim in spite and look, I 120 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: married him. So looking back, I'm a big believer on 121 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: like realizing that things happen for me, not to me. 122 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, if you are currently going 123 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: through a hard time and you're just like, there are 124 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: no positives to the situation, almost sit with it and 125 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: have faith that eventually something good will come out of it, 126 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: and if it's not necessarily good, it's a lesson that 127 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: you can learn from. That's. Yeah, that's a really big 128 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: thing for me. R and C fam are you currently 129 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: trying to grow your hair, get glowing skin and nails, 130 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: or help your gut health, well look no further because 131 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: Naked Harvest's collagen powder is here to change it all. 132 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: Did you know that age twenty five, our body starts 133 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: producing as much collagen itself and then that amount decreases 134 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: every single year. So this is important to know because 135 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: our skin, which is our biggest organ is made up 136 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: of seventy five percent collagen and guy's collagen is just 137 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: a protein, So it does make sense why we start 138 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: seeing signs of aging around this time. And this is 139 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: why we called our collagen the beauty Elixa, because it 140 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: really is a beauty supplement that is going to help 141 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: you glow from the inside out. So even though this 142 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: supplement has amazing esthetic results, you've probably seen my before 143 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: and after hair photos and my nail snaps on my stories. 144 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: But more than that, collagen is such an important building 145 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: block to so many parts of our body. So not 146 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: only is your skin going to glow, your hair and 147 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: nails grow, but it's also going to help with your 148 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: gut health and we all know how important that is. 149 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: So there's two options with the Naked Harvest collagen Elixa. 150 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: There is a pure option which I love to add 151 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: to smoothies and my coffees, or a pine coconut option 152 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: which is so fresh and so delicious. I love having 153 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: that at morning tea or in the afternoon. So iron 154 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: c Fam glow from the inside out with Naked Harvest's 155 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: Beauty Collagen Alixa today and Phil free to use the 156 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: iron c FAM's code, which is Ris and Concher podcasts 157 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: all spelled out and you can get a sneaky saving 158 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: at checkout. Okay, now let's get back into today's episode. Okay, 159 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: So the next little life lesson is to sit with 160 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: the feeling. So again, this is something that I learn 161 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: by seeing my psychologists, and we kind of uncovered that 162 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm someone who hates feeling feelings. Like I remember during 163 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: my law degree, I had a professor who said I 164 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: would be great at family law because I was like emotionless, 165 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: which is like, now, how really rude when I think back. 166 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: But basically I can detach to my feelings quite well 167 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: compared to other people. And so this has actually been 168 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: a positive in numerous ways. Like I actually did work 169 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: in family law and we went through you know, like 170 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: we had cases where it was really sad things that 171 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: were happening, and I didn't attach myself to the client 172 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: or the outcome or anything like that. So it's helpful 173 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: in those situations. And then also I think it has 174 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: helped me just be a really strong person in general, 175 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: Like I am someone who's so strong, so persistent, so determined, 176 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: and I think that side of me comes into that. 177 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: So it's almost like a positive and a negative. Obviously 178 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: the negative. I've realized that when I feel feelings, I 179 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: straightway shut them down and I suppress them. I don't 180 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: actually let myself feel them, which then means I am 181 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: constantly suppressing these feelings and they are manifesting in quite 182 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: toxic ways. So a lot of my anxiety was actually 183 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: to do with suppressed feelings that I hadn't dealt with 184 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: over the years, which I had never really sort of 185 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: understood or heard of that term, and it was really 186 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: interesting to me, and also just other ways of manifesting 187 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: in toxic ways. So when I am feeling negative or sad, 188 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: I no longer just suppress and don't feel it. I 189 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: now sit with the feeling and I will actually put 190 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: a timer on. It's something like sixty ninety seconds that 191 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: feeling will pass. So for that amount of time it 192 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: is really uncomfortable. I am someone who finds it so uncomfortable, 193 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: but I sit with it and I feel it and 194 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: then I get the feeling out. And that has been 195 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: a game changer just in sort of feeling feelings and 196 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: being more connected to my inner self. So another thing 197 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: that I found was because I was suppressing these feelings, 198 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: I was very disconnected from my inner self. And when 199 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: I say my inner self, like I kind of mean 200 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: my intuition and my most authentic self. I feel like 201 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: that is a whole other podcast in itself, because the 202 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: term may not be very usual, but I can definitely 203 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: get into that with another podcast. But to feel my 204 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: most authentic self and to be really in tune with 205 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: my intuition, which has been what this year has been 206 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: about for me personally and business wise. I've really had 207 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: to actually start feeling my feelings. And it's actually like 208 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: sometimes I will sit with the feeling and I literally 209 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: like cry feel the feeling, and then sixty seconds later, 210 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: like I'll be fine. And it's really funny because like 211 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: if Tim or something is around, he's like, what the 212 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: fuck just happened, but oh God, like, stop suppressing your feelings. 213 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: Feel your feelings because it's such a game changer, and 214 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: then they won't come out in these like negative ways. 215 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening for another rn C episode.
