So that was honestly a bit 74 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: of an intro already with the girls. But do you 75 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: just want to tell the irn C community who you are, 76 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: what you do, what you're about. 77 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: Sure, So the elevator pitch, my Elevader pitch has drastically 78 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: changed in the last six months. It used to be 79 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: very different. Yes, but I am a single mom to 80 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: two beautiful girls, like I just said before, Rosie and Benny, 81 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: and I am a full time content creator. I also 82 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: have a podcast. Mine is more about like, well, at 83 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 2: the moment, it's been about finding myself after being a 84 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: stay at home mum and divorcing my ex husband. But 85 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: it's more about like womanhood, I guess, and like motherhood 86 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 2: and that's what I do with most of my time. 87 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 2: Other than I still do have my girls two days 88 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: a week. At home with me as well. But yeah, 89 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 2: I've gone through a big transition period, so I think 90 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: right now my biggest question is finding the answer for 91 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 2: my elevator pitch. Like I'm still in that stage of 92 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 2: like who am I? Like what am I doing at 93 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: the moment, which has been a fun journey to sort 94 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: of do with my followers and listeners. 95 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: I love that so much, And that's actually why I 96 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: wanted to have you on the podcast, because this season 97 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: is all about getting what you want, and I think 98 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: it's so important to showcase that that doesn't always look 99 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: like you know the end result, and like I think 100 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: a lot of the time when you're listening to podcasts, 101 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: it's the person who has like done it all and 102 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: been there and it's twenty years down the line of success. 103 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: And so I really wanted to get you on because 104 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: you are in such a transitional season, like you said, 105 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: divorcing becoming a single mom or within you know, the 106 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: last six months, or while doing it on social media, 107 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: which will get into that, and I think you are 108 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: such the representation of the becoming in real time, which 109 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't talk about. And I think 110 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: once you get to the I know who I am. 111 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: I know the elevator. 112 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: Pitch, you can sometimes forget the process, the process and 113 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: the transition. So I'm so excited to have you on 114 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: and to talk about that. And so many people would 115 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: be in the exact same position going through a transition, 116 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: going through a life challenge, and so obviously we're going 117 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: to talk about that all, but let's just talk about 118 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: you said like you are in the transition of getting 119 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: your spark back and what that has looked like over 120 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: the last couple of months. 121 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: I think like a really interesting point to kind of 122 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: touch on is when you're talking about like getting what 123 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: you want. A really interesting experience that I've gone through 124 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: is like I got everything that I thought I wanted, 125 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 2: and then I got there and then was like, oh, actually, 126 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: maybe this isn't what I wanted. And that has been 127 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,559 Speaker 2: like a really interesting journey now to be like, Okay, 128 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 2: what do I actually want? Because I thought I knew 129 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 2: and I got there, and then it didn't work out 130 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: for me. It wasn't meant for me, it wasn't actually 131 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: what I needed in life, and now I'm like, Okay, 132 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: well let's try again, which I think a lot of 133 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: people don't want to admit to like you might say 134 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: for years and years and years like oh, this is 135 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 2: where I want to go, and then like not many 136 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 2: people when they get there and they don't like it, 137 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,559 Speaker 2: have the backbone to be like, actually, like this isn't 138 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: for me, Like this isn't what I want. And people 139 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: get really triggered as well when you say like, oh, yeah, 140 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 2: I reached the goals and I did what I wanted 141 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: to do, but I didn't like it or I wasn't fulfilled, 142 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 2: or it didn't make me happy. So that's been so interesting. 143 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: And I think like linking to what you were saying 144 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: about the spark, that is what kind of made me realize, 145 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: like maybe this isn't for me because I had no spark, 146 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 2: Like I was doing things that I had said my 147 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: entire life, like I want to be a stay at 148 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: home mom, I want to be married, I want to 149 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: have kids young, I want to be financially set up, 150 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: like we owned multiple businesses together, my ex husband and I. 151 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: I want to do all these things like I had 152 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: social media, I had you know, on paper, like the 153 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: dream life, and then you know, stuff doesn't always work 154 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: out the way that you think, and that went away 155 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: and then it was like, now without all those things 156 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: that I thought I wanted, I feel more fulfilled and 157 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 2: more vibrant and like I have so much more passion 158 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: for life than when I was in this like dream 159 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: life that I told myself was going to be the 160 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: most fulfilling thing ever. And that has been such an 161 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 2: interesting process to go through. And when people always ask like, 162 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 2: how have you found that spark, the biggest thing I 163 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: always say is surrendering. I feel like for so long, 164 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: like sometimes the problem is when you're a super ambitious 165 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: person or you like plan everything, you very type A 166 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: is like you want to control like every single little 167 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: bit of your life, and then that can be really 168 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: taxing and really draining. And I found that I have 169 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: had the ability to connect with myself and learn so 170 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: much more about myself and become so much happier by 171 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: letting go and just surrendering and being like, Okay, like 172 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: you can't control every single asset and aspect of your life. 173 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: Just go with it and surrender a little bit and 174 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: kind of see where life takes you. And that has 175 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: led me to be the happiest that I could be. 176 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 2: Because if you had told me like a year ago, 177 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 2: like hey, you're going to be divorced, You're not going 178 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: to be living with your partner anymore. You're not gonna 179 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: be a stay at home mum, You're only gonna have 180 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: your kids fifty percent of the time. You're gonna be 181 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: working full time in social media. I would have been like, no, 182 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: I'm fucking not. That sounds horrendous, Like that is not 183 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: what I want. That would never make me happy. I 184 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: would be so miserable, blah blah blah. And then I 185 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: kind of went through a journey where it's like, well, 186 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: I had no choice, and now I'm on the other side, 187 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I actually really love my life now, 188 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: Like it would never have been something I would have 189 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: actively chosen for myself, but I'm so glad that it 190 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 2: did happen to me. 191 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: Well, let's even go there, because I think I resonate 192 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: a lot even with how I did a six year 193 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: law degree and I got at the end and I 194 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: was like, holy shit, I don't want to do this. 195 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: And I had that impending feeling of like, what are 196 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: people gonna think. They're gonna think I'm an idiot for 197 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: doing six years of law, putting all this time and 198 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: energy and effort into this specific dream, this vision, and 199 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna quote unquote throw it away. But I 200 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: was miserable. Yeah, And I was like I saw, you know, 201 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: other people who had reached the career success that you know, 202 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: I'm aiming to do in thirty years, and I was like, 203 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: oh my god, I don't want that. Now that I'm 204 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: in it, and now that I've seen it, I don't 205 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: want it. And it's such an interesting thing to almost 206 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: because I'd love to ask you your whole dream of 207 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: like stay at home mom with this partner, that sort 208 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: of ambitious stream that you were talking about, like when 209 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: did that happen? When did that start? 210 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: Kind Of always my mom was like full time working 211 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 2: bread winner in my family, and while that gave me 212 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: so many opportunities growing up, I always had wished like 213 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: she could have been around a bit more. And so 214 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: then I just got in my head like instead of 215 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 2: finding like a happy medium, I'm the type of person 216 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: that's like nothing, yeah, all nothing. So instead of being 217 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 2: like I could be a part time working mom and 218 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 2: like kind of best of both words, I was like, 219 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 2: I'm going to be a stay at home mom and 220 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: dedicated and I loved being a stay at home mom, 221 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: Like I actually really enjoyed it, and I thought I 222 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: was really good at it, and I found it really fulfilling. 223 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: But I think a really beautiful thing that I've learned 224 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: in the last six months is like things are not 225 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: so all or nothing or not so black and white, 226 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 2: and also like there's not just one version of your 227 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 2: life that that's the only life that could make you happy. 228 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: And I think I really held on to the idea 229 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: of like, well, no, I have to do this version. 230 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: And then I've sort of learned like you can take 231 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: so many different paths and still end up like a 232 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: really happy, fulfilled version of yourself. And like almost in 233 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: a really weird way to say this, because I've had 234 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: so many like crazy things happened to me, but like 235 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: I've just gotten in a mindset now of like it's 236 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: not that deep, Like it's just not that deep, Like 237 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: it's just not that like all or nothing like and 238 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: that sounds insane and people might be like, I don't 239 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: understand what you mean by that, but it's like I 240 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: think when you go through like extreme adversity, and if 241 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: like a listener has like followed me, they would really 242 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 2: know like the whole law of the last six months, 243 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: you really start to realize like you can get through anything, 244 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 2: and you can do anything, and like nothing so big 245 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 2: that you can't bounce back from it, you can't like 246 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 2: recover from it. I don't know, it's really hard to describe, 247 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 2: but it's like I've gotten to a point where I'm like, oh, well, 248 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: it'll work out, Like it has worked out. I've made 249 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 2: it through all of this so far, and I've ended 250 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: up in a really happy place. So like, whatever, it's 251 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 2: not that deep, there's something else out there. If that's 252 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 2: not gonna like fill me up, or if that's not 253 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 2: meant for me, there's obviously something else. And like I think, 254 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: in a weird way, like God, universe, whatever you believe 255 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: in sort of like forced me to be like okay, 256 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: like you are not listening to us, like we are 257 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 2: sending it all these signs like this is not the 258 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: path for you. This is not the path for you. 259 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: We're gonna have to freaking skull drag you now onto 260 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: a different path until you get the thing of like 261 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: you can't control everything. You can't you know, push your 262 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: version of what you want everything to be. You'll end 263 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: up where you meant to be no matter what, and 264 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: it you know, I feel like I always think of 265 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 2: the thing of the universe might like at first give 266 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: be like a little push and be like, hey, like 267 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: I don't think this is for you, maybe you should change. 268 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: And then you can be a really stubborn person and 269 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: be like no, like this is for me. I'm gonna 270 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: keep like going on this path. And then it can 271 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: give you like a little bit of a harder push 272 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: and it's like this isn't meant for you, Like you 273 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: need to change your course. You need to like course correct, 274 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: and then it gets to a point where it's like, okay, 275 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: we're just going to force you now because like this 276 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: is not meant for you. You can go through like 277 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: an absolute soul altering experience to learn this lesson because 278 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 2: you're clearly not listening to our like little nudges of 279 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 2: being like you shouldn't be doing this, you shouldn't be 280 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: doing this, And like, in hindsight, there is so much 281 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: now where I'm like, maybe that was a sign, like 282 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: that wasn't what I was meant to be, like choosing 283 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: for myself or doing or whatever.

And I feel 335 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: like that's the journey of like going through those things. 336 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: Like I can resonate in regards to I remember it 337 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: was probably before IVY or maybe like when I became 338 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: an I think it. No, it was just when I 339 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: became a new mum. And so for example, like you know, 340 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: I became a self made millionaire by age twenty six, 341 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: I did this by age twenty seven. I had my daughter. 342 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to be a new mom, I wanted to 343 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: work both. And I remember getting to that point and 344 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: having this like break down and being like, bit, I've 345 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: ticked all the boxes and I feel fucking miserable inside. 346 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: And then I went on this whole healing journey, which 347 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: is a whole other story. And it's crazy because I 348 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: have all the same things, but the healing journey was 349 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: all about accepting myself, working through childhood trauma, working through 350 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: healing so you know, certain parts of myself and now 351 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: I am so much more content and happier, and my 352 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: external hasn't changed. If anything, It's like I have put 353 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: on the breaks of career driven. I have put on 354 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: the breaks of certain things because I'm like that shit 355 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: doesn't actually matter, and often it takes to getting to 356 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: that pinnacle that like ticking all the things. And then 357 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: the way I would describe it is I felt quite empty, 358 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: Like I felt quite but I'm doing all the things, 359 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: but I don't have the feeling that everyone's talking about. 360 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: And then I went on a whole healing journey and 361 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: then like now I have the feeling, and I just 362 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: see things in such a different way where even choices 363 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: I make, you know, with my finances, with certain things, 364 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: like we just move house from this beautiful like ocean 365 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: view house and we've moved like to acreage, and so 366 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: many people like, oh, but I'm confused, that was your 367 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: dream house blah blah blah, And I'm like, yeah, but 368 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: now I've have a different perception and it's all about 369 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: how I feel. So if it doesn't make sense to you, 370 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: that's okay, because you have your own perceptions, you have 371 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: your own. 372 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 2: Thing, and I don't have to explain myself Also, one 373 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 2: thing I've really learned is like truly coming to accept 374 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: in the least malicious way, no one cares about what 375 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: you're doing in your life. I know that sounds wild, 376 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: but I feel like when you're stuck in a period 377 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 2: and you think like, oh, I can't do this because 378 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: you know this person's gonna judge me, this person's gonna 379 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: judge me, whatever. And then as someone who's gone through 380 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 2: stuff that, I was like, oh, I'm gonna get eaten alive, Like, 381 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 2: especially on social media where there's like hundreds of thousands 382 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 2: of people or whatever, you really realize like people don't 383 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 2: care that much like they do. And maybe at first 384 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: you've got to have like a couple of awkward conversations 385 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 2: with people or go through like a little bit of adversity, 386 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: but people adapt to your new reality very quickly because 387 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, they have their own 388 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 2: life that they're worrying about and stressing about, and they 389 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 2: don't have the time to think about you as much 390 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 2: as you are thinking about you. And I wish, honestly, 391 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: I had realized that like five six years ago, because 392 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 2: I spent so long in my life being like I 393 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 2: can't do this because of this person's judgment or whatever. 394 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 2: And then after going through what I would have described 395 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 2: a year go as my literal worst nightmare, and then 396 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: like surviving the other side and then being like, you 397 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 2: know what, that was really hard, but it wasn't what 398 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna be. And then I'm like, shit, 399 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 2: how much stuff have I said? No, I'm not going 400 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 2: to do that. I'm not going to change because I 401 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 2: was so concerned about someone being like that's you know, 402 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 2: you can't do that or whatever. At the end of 403 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 2: the day, people, most people, I would say ninety five 404 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 2: percent of people are like, oh, well, if it makes 405 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: you happy, like cool, Like you know, even people knew 406 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: me personally at first we're a bit like oh, and 407 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: then now they're like yeah, cool, like whatever, like if 408 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: that makes you happy. 409 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: Yes, well, you know, even let's take that one step further. 410 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: So the people who do care, and let's we will 411 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: chat about like your social media and the feedback that 412 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: you got because honestly, wild girl. 413 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. 414 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: But even so, the people that care from like a 415 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: mindset like shadow work also lens. Yeah, the only reason 416 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: why they would care is you were reflecting something to 417 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: them that they don't like. Within themselves. Yes, and once 418 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: you realize that, and once you realize okay, so there 419 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: are people who care, but it's about them, not you, 420 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: Like it's not about you exactly, it's actually not about you. 421 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 2: Really learning that like even that negative thought, that's their 422 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: own story and like having to come to the realization 423 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 2: of like, that's cool. They can think that about me, 424 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 2: but they don't have to wake up as me every 425 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 2: day and they don't have to live as me every day. 426 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: So like let them think that, Like let them think 427 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: that that's cool for them, okay, And what does that 428 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 2: mean for me? Like I think really not giving power 429 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: to thoughts and being like it's literally just a thought 430 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 2: of someone else. It's not even my own thought about myself. 431 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 2: So why am I giving it so much power over me? 432 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 2: Because at the end of the day, it doesn't really 433 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: affect me or even like you. 434 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: Said, it's like that five percent who are judgmental who care, 435 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, we're not giving our attention to 436 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: the you know, ninety five percent. Why are we giving 437 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: so much attention to the five percent? 438 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 2: I always say this to people when I have this conversation, 439 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 2: and I think it's because negative thoughts are the loudest, right, 440 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: So something that's five percent, because negativity is such a 441 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: emotive thing and it is such a strong emotion. It 442 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: sounds thirty thousand times louder than positivity. Right, So even 443 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: though you have ninety five percent of people who are 444 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 2: positive cheering you on whatever, the five percent feels like 445 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. So then you put so much time 446 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: and effort into it. And I actually listened to an 447 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 2: interview with Tom Holland which was a really weird place 448 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: to get like inspirations vitament Biamendu, and he said that 449 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: like the way that he deals with any type of 450 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 2: critique is just realizing that what anyone else thinks about 451 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 2: you that does not know you is not true. And 452 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 2: he was like, positive, it's not true. I don't give 453 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 2: it any value because they don't know me and they 454 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 2: aren't me, so they can sit there and be like 455 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: you're the best ever, and like I think you're so amazing. 456 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 2: He was like, I give that the same value as 457 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 2: someone who says something negative. And when I realized that, 458 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: it changed my perception on how people perceive me, and 459 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: I have now really leant into that of like the 460 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: value of a positive word is the same value as 461 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: a negative word. It's what I put the value on it, 462 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 2: not what the other person is thinking. And that has 463 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: been really interesting. And I think a really really big 464 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 2: thing to learn is also that pleasing everyone else doesn't 465 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 2: mean that you're going to be pleased, yes, which was 466 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: a really hard thing to learn. So I got diagnosed 467 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 2: with ADHD at the end of last year and then 468 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: I'm currently going through my ASD diagnosis. I've had like 469 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: a clinical psychologist diagnose me, and then I'm going through 470 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 2: the process of life. Sorry, what is ASD stortism? Oh? Yes, yes, 471 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 2: with your autism spectrum disorder. Yeah. And the biggest thing 472 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 2: learning was that people pleasing is like a really big 473 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: thing of people who have neurodivergence because it's a really 474 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 2: big masking thing. You try and please people to fit in. 475 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,479 Speaker 2: It becomes like a survival instinct because you're like, I'm 476 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: a bit different, I don't really fit in with everyone else. 477 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 2: So if I do everything that everyone wants and make 478 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: them really happy, they're going to like me. So it 479 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 2: becomes a very big thing that you do. And I 480 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 2: never understood why I found people pleasing so important and 481 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 2: like it literally dedicated my entire life to just not 482 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 2: looking introspectively at anything that would make me happy and 483 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 2: putting one hundred percent of my time and energy into 484 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 2: what is going to make the people around me happy. 485 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: And maybe if that happens, I will be accepted and 486 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 2: then I will be. 487 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: Happy and fit in. 488 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, And then so much sin that has been like 489 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 2: unlearning that or realizing like even if I do every 490 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: little thing to make everyone happy, if I'm not happy, 491 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. And once I realized that, it really changed, 492 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 2: like everything, and like I honestly think a lot of 493 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 2: that came from like once I hit rock bottom and 494 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, all the horrible things, like the 495 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 2: worst things I thought that could have happened to me 496 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 2: have happened to me. Like I got postpartum depression. My dog, 497 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 2: who was like my best friend from ten years like 498 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 2: died really suddenly and tragically. My marriage broke down. I 499 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 2: had four hundred dollars to my name, and I moved 500 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 2: out of my home. I was a single mom to 501 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 2: two kids, which was my biggest worst nightmare because I 502 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: grew up with divorced parents and I hated it. I 503 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 2: was like, had no job, prospects other than my social media. 504 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: Like I'd been a stay at home mum for four years, 505 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 2: so I had no current references, no current work experience. 506 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 2: I didn't have anyone that I could be like, hey, 507 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 2: can I have a job with you?

Like I had 511 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 2: all these things where I was like, well, like I'm here, 512 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 2: I'm at the bottom. I was like, I've disappointed everyone. 513 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 2: In my head, I hadn't disappointed anyone, but in my 514 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 2: people pleasing brain, I was like, I've let everyone down. 515 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 2: Why not try doing it my way? Then? Because I 516 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: did everything for everyone and it didn't turn out the 517 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 2: way that I wanted.

There were no signs. I wasn't 687 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: expecting it. I wasn't like her out of the blue. Yeah, 688 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 2: came really out of the blue.

Before this period, 695 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 2: I did not believe in any of that, like honestly, 696 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 2: even with you. Sometimes I would see your post about manifestation, 697 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 2: I roll my eyes and be like yeah, yeah, whatever. 698 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 2: And then I started doing it and seeing like the 699 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 2: results of like a mindset switch and like letting go 700 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 2: of like external power and being like I actually have 701 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 2: the power to do everything I want in my life. 702 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, I Georgian an apology, 703 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 2: like she's actually onto something, this chick. 704 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: Honestly, I take no offense because I know that's how 705 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people feel. And it's because and I'm 706 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: like careful when I say this. But what I call 707 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: it is, before you started doing that in a work, 708 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: I call it you were in the matrix, like you 709 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: were so in the three D the matrix where again 710 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: it's like the society of like A plus B equalcy. 711 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: You know this, this is the. 712 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 2: Your shadow self, that's like thing there being like yeah. 713 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: And like you got the herm oil underneath. And then 714 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: so as soon as you step into this work, it 715 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 1: all has to come to the surface. It all has 716 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: to play out. It cannot like you cannot get out 717 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: of the matrix and understand the world and understand truly 718 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: what's happening in a spiritual sense, and then life be 719 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: the same, like it wouldn't.

So such a 837 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 1: testament to you. Yeah, but like the tangible things that 838 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: have helped you rebuild get your spark back, What would 839 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: you say to someone going through it? 840 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:47,280 Speaker 2: I would say, first up, stop get rid of any 841 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 2: five year plan, ten year plan, out of the in 842 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,240 Speaker 2: that been that right now, especially like obviously not forever, 843 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 2: but while you're going through like a huge period of 844 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 2: change and turmoil, get rid of that out of your brain, 845 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 2: because it's not gonna be helpful it's gonna put so 846 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 2: much external pressure on yourself. It's gonna really fuck with 847 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 2: your internal dialogue because you're thinking, I have to be 848 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 2: here in you know, five years, but all this stuff 849 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 2: is happening. I got rid of everything and I literally 850 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 2: broke it down to today, what do I have to 851 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 2: do today? Like, genuinely, I would not even be like 852 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 2: people because at first, when my husband and I separated, 853 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 2: We're like, we're taking six months, and then people would 854 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 2: be like, well, what's gonna happen at the end of 855 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 2: the six months, And I'm like, I don't know. I'm 856 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 2: not there yet. I'm doing today, and when I get 857 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 2: to the end of the six months, I can make 858 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 2: that decision. But I'm like, there's no point because six 859 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,720 Speaker 2: months ago, I didn't even know this was a reality 860 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 2: that could have happened to me. So why am I 861 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 2: going to waste so much time and energy going there 862 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 2: not saying that like I don't have goals or dreams 863 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 2: for my life, but right now I'm doing it. Okay, 864 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 2: there's no pressure. Yes, I'm like, let's just get through 865 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 2: this period and then we can go back to that, 866 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 2: which is honestly the most Like even some days there 867 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 2: would be days where I would be like, let's do 868 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 2: hour by hour, like because I'm a very anxious person 869 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 2: that I can try and pre plan and like future project, 870 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 2: and yeah, I had to learn like you need to 871 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 2: stop that right now because you don't have the energy 872 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,399 Speaker 2: for that right now. Let that go. Don't stop trying 873 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 2: to do that and stop trying to control that. Just 874 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,280 Speaker 2: break it down to really edible, bite sized sort of pieces. 875 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 2: The next thing that I really had to learn was like, 876 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 2: stop trying to push the negative emotions down, which is 877 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 2: something I'm really, really, really good at. Like I said, 878 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 2: I'm no I'm getting diagnosed with autism. And the thing 879 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 2: that flagged with my clinical psychologists for her to even 880 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 2: test me for it was like, you're really bad at 881 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 2: processing any emotion that's not just like happiness or She's like, 882 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 2: you have an emotional spectrum of happy, sad, angry, and 883 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 2: like nothing in between. She's like, you really suck at 884 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 2: dealing with like gray emotions like melancholy or like nostalgia, 885 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 2: or like emotions that it's like it's not really one thing, 886 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 2: or that it's like kind of a blend of multi emotions. 887 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: Like you almost can't hold duality. 888 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,439 Speaker 2: Yes, Like I would just be like, oh, that thing 889 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 2: that happened to me that was sad, and then she's like, well, 890 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 2: but it could have like elements of happiness or elements 891 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: of anger, or elements of grief, and I just could 892 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,320 Speaker 2: not process the emotions. Like I was very black and white, 893 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 2: which meant when I feel negative emotions, I will instead 894 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 2: choose to feel nothing because I don't really deal well 895 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 2: with dealing with negative emotions, like very non confrontational, very 896 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 2: rarely get angry. Like those things were very scary to me, 897 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 2: and a big thing that I had to learn was like, 898 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 2: the only thing that that will result in is burnout 899 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,760 Speaker 2: because to suppress emotions takes like three times the amount 900 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 2: of energy then to just feel the emotion and to 901 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 2: just allow yourself to be like, what I'm feeling is 902 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 2: valid and I can feel it. 903 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: And it always comes up. 904 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 2: Oh it does, even if it comes up in a 905 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 2: way that you didn't realize that it's coming up. It 906 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 2: always comes up. And also the thing is it always 907 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,439 Speaker 2: comes up and it's not going to just go away 908 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 2: because you're not putting time and energy into it. And 909 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 2: also in the age of like social media, you really 910 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 2: are told like, if you're negative about things, if you're 911 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 2: this like positive mindset, stuff is great. But sometimes people 912 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 2: can take it too far and like you always have 913 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,280 Speaker 2: to be positive, positive, yeah, but like they don't realize 914 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 2: that sometimes part of a positive mindset is processing the 915 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 2: negative emotions to leave room for the positivity. I think 916 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 2: a lot of people have all the room taken up 917 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 2: by like anger, sadness, grief, whatever, and then they just 918 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 2: try and like squash the positivity on top without realizing 919 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 2: to have room for that, you have to deal with 920 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 2: everything else that's in there. So I went through this 921 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 2: period where I was like I'm gonna be sad, I'm 922 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 2: going to cry in my bed all day, and like 923 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 2: I started asking myself like really scary questions that I'd 924 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 2: always avoided, Like my therapist. I was like, you know, 925 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 2: I'm just so exhausted and I just feel like giving up. 926 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,319 Speaker 2: And then my therapists would be like, okay, well why 927 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 2: don't you give up? I'd be like sorry, She's like, well, 928 00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 2: what would that look like? What would that look like 929 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 2: if you just turned around today and you're like I'm 930 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 2: going to give up? Why don't you feel that feeling 931 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 2: and think about it? And actually process what that would 932 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 2: look like for you and how that would make you feel, 933 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 2: rather than just like saying it as a concept, think 934 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 2: about it genuinely go to that place, because I think 935 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,439 Speaker 2: a lot of us will be like, oh, I don't 936 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 2: even want to like touch that emotion. 937 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 1: I can't I can't go that. 938 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:19,800 Speaker 2: I don't want to go there. I don't want to 939 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 2: think about that. Or she'd be like, you know, why 940 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 2: don't you just take a day and cry all day 941 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 2: in bed and see what happens at the end of 942 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,840 Speaker 2: the day. And like that was a really that sounds 943 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 2: so simple, That was so that's so deep. It was 944 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 2: so transformational to me to just be like, Okay, what 945 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 2: if I just allow myself to be negative? What if 946 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 2: I just allow myself to cry? What if I allow 947 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 2: myself to be angry? What if I allow myself to 948 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 2: just do these emotions and get them out and then 949 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 2: give myself a period of like, Okay, for a day, 950 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 2: I'm going to be sad and I'm not going to 951 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 2: work and I'm not going to do anything. I'm just 952 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 2: gonna lay in my bed and cry and read a 953 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 2: book and do nothing and just do it for a 954 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 2: day and see what the result is, and then you 955 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 2: go to bed, comes up the next morning and you're like, oh, okay, 956 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,439 Speaker 2: well the ladder, what am I going to do today? Now? 957 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,839 Speaker 2: Like that was done. I did that. The world didn't end. 958 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 2: I survived, I processed the emotions. It didn't kill me. 959 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,919 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to the next thing now. 960 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 2: And like once I kind of realized that, I then 961 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 2: started to have like healthy processing of emotion. And I 962 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,879 Speaker 2: think it is so scary to actually do the things 963 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,839 Speaker 2: of like I'm gonna give up, I'm gonna cry, i'm 964 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 2: gonna fall apart, I'm gonna have a breakdown, and then 965 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 2: when you do it and you come out the other end, 966 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 2: you're like, okay, cool. So that was that just the 967 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 2: same as like when you have a super happy day, 968 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,359 Speaker 2: the happy day ends and you wake up the next 969 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,879 Speaker 2: morning when you start again, it's the exact same thing. 970 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 2: And that was a really cool thing to do. So 971 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,719 Speaker 2: they're the two main things. And then the third thing, 972 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 2: if it is you know, a financial option, get professional help. 973 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:49,120 Speaker 1: Amen. 974 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 2: Amen is a big thing I say to people because 975 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 2: it's like you can mindset, diet, exercise, do all the 976 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 2: fun stuff things as much as you want acupuncture, sauna, 977 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,759 Speaker 2: all those like alternative things. Sometimes at the end of 978 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 2: the day, you need a professional to come in and 979 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 2: help you. And if you do have the funds to 980 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 2: do it, there's nothing wrong in saying, no, I need help, 981 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 2: no I need medication, I need a professional to talk 982 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 2: me through this. I need to do the work. And 983 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 2: that's okay. And I always say that to people as well, 984 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 2: like you can do every single alternative therapy in the world, 985 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,399 Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, scientifically, sometimes when 986 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 2: you're really distressed, you're really depressed whatever, your brain goes 987 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,360 Speaker 2: into fight or flight and when you're in that stage, 988 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 2: it's actually physically impossible for your brain to take on 989 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 2: new information. So you can be trying all these other things. 990 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 2: Your brain has got a massive brick wall around it, 991 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 2: being like I can't learn anything new right now. I 992 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,919 Speaker 2: can't take on any new information. So you're doing this stuff, 993 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 2: You're pummeling yourself with self care and all these things, 994 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 2: and at the end of the day, it's like you 995 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 2: need to go and get professional help or someone to 996 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 2: help you to get you to a space that then 997 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 2: you can do all these alternate things. And I think 998 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,399 Speaker 2: that's really important whenever I'm sharing the journey that I've 999 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 2: gone through. For me to not just sit here and 1000 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 2: be like, oh yeah, I had someone like do reiki 1001 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 2: on me and I was cured. It's like no, no, no, 1002 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 2: I'm also medicated. I got an eurodivergent diagnosis. I see 1003 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,280 Speaker 2: a psychiatrist, I see a psychologist, and I do alternative healing. 1004 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 2: It's sort of like a quadruple pronged effect. And I 1005 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 2: think that's important to say to people as well, is 1006 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,879 Speaker 2: like we are not meant to know everything, and that's 1007 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 2: why people are professionals in their job to help you. 1008 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,839 Speaker 1: I love that you point that out, and I think 1009 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,759 Speaker 1: it's well. When you were talking, something that came to 1010 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: mind was a lot of people ask like, oh, you 1011 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 1: were successful so fast in business. 1012 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 2: What did you do? 1013 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: And it's funny because this six months before I even 1014 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: started Naked Harvest. I hired a business like mindset coach 1015 00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 1: who had created a seven figure business and we just 1016 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 1: did mindset work and it cost me sixty thousand dollars, 1017 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 1: which sorry forty thousand US, which like I didn't have. 1018 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, I wanted a successful, you know, business, 1019 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 1: so I just went straight to the professional who could 1020 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 1: give me the identity work, the mindset work, everything, because 1021 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: that's what I wanted. And so people will pay for 1022 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,640 Speaker 1: that with like, you know, business or whatnot. But what 1023 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,320 Speaker 1: they also don't know is then that was the only 1024 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: business coach I've ever had, and anyone after that has 1025 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: been pure mindset mental health. And that's how I've been 1026 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,280 Speaker 1: able to like move through life. And I'm like, I 1027 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: never think I have it figured out. I never think 1028 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 1: even though I teach other people self development and mindset, 1029 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm still now continuously going to professionals because you should 1030 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: always be evolving and progressing. And a lot of the 1031 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,399 Speaker 1: time we will go to p professionals when we are 1032 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,879 Speaker 1: like a broken rock bottom or like we really really 1033 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 1: want something. But what you need to understand is it 1034 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,479 Speaker 1: should be a continuous thing to be like a well 1035 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,840 Speaker 1: rounded human and to continuously like progress and evolve. And 1036 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 1: of course it's not going to always be like to 1037 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,839 Speaker 1: the amount because I can understand, like it would be 1038 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 1: taking a lot for you to see all these people 1039 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 1: and a lot of money and whatnot, and it's not 1040 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: always at that standard. 1041 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, But I just truly believe we. 1042 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,480 Speaker 1: Should always be looking for help. We should always be 1043 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: relying on other people and seeking out that professional help 1044 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,879 Speaker 1: because we don't know it all well. 1045 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 2: It also like going through that experience and paying the 1046 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,479 Speaker 2: money for it has made me so passionate about being 1047 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 2: like why is this not more accessible to people? Like 1048 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 2: why can we have access to so many other things? 1049 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 2: But like psychology is not on Medicare, psychology is not 1050 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 2: claimable on private health either. Like there's literally nothing. 1051 00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:58,839 Speaker 1: Either as a mindset coach. 1052 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, like you get, yeah, you get, you get ten 1053 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,280 Speaker 2: sessions on a mental health plan, but it's not even free, 1054 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 2: like it's you still got to pay gap and like 1055 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 2: ten sessions is not even one session a month. Yeah, 1056 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 2: Like if you've got actual complex mental health issues like 1057 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 2: I had postpartum depression, that's not just like oh I 1058 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,240 Speaker 2: feel sad, Like that's a really complex mental health issue, 1059 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,839 Speaker 2: you still can't even do yeah a session a month, 1060 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 2: and it's like when you have When I had postpartum depression, 1061 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,480 Speaker 2: I was going once a week. So it's been something 1062 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 2: that's really like made me quite passionate around the idea 1063 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 2: of like why is that so expensive and why aren't 1064 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 2: we prioritizing it more and making it more accessible to 1065 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 2: a larger audience of people because it is so transformative 1066 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 2: and it is so helpful, and I think doing stuff 1067 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 2: like I always explained to people, like what's the difference 1068 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 2: between your life coach and your psychologist? And I'm like, 1069 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 2: it's different in the way of like with my psychologists 1070 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 2: we talk about the way I feel, and with my 1071 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,720 Speaker 2: life coach and the work she sort of does around 1072 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 2: like emotional healing. It's how those emotions show up physically, 1073 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 2: either in my life or in my body, and that's 1074 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,759 Speaker 2: where they kind of like work together to access it. 1075 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 2: On all sides. 1076 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 1: It's almost like the first thing is actual awareness and 1077 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 1: then it's like the actual processing. 1078 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 2: Yes is that yes? Yeah, yeah, And I found that 1079 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,880 Speaker 2: like really really helpful. But yeah, there is a massive 1080 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 2: financial barrier to those things and it is such a 1081 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 2: privilege to be able to do it. But I also, 1082 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 2: since leaving my husband, had to prioritize financially. Okay, I'm 1083 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 2: going to cut other things because this is so important 1084 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,960 Speaker 2: to me that I've got to find the money somewhere. 1085 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I want to bring up because one 1086 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 1: hundred percent, it should be more accessible, it should be 1087 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 1: more available, But I do want to counter that with 1088 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 1: I don't think people prioritize that they will. For example, 1089 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,640 Speaker 1: I speaking to a girlfriend who wants to, you know, 1090 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 1: get a coach and whatnot. She's like, well, I just 1091 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 1: don't have the money. And I'm like, babe, I know 1092 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 1: for a fact the amount of money you spend on 1093 00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,000 Speaker 1: facials and beauty appointments, and obviously that's not the same 1094 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,279 Speaker 1: like a single mum, but I'm like you just for me, 1095 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 1: for example, having that beach business coach, It's like I 1096 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,319 Speaker 1: didn't have the money, it was the only thing I 1097 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 1: could do, but it was such a priority. And I 1098 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 1: think a lot of the time, like for example, my 1099 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 1: mom and dad, mental health wasn't spoken about. Yeah, Like 1100 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 1: it was like you're happy, you're sad, and also if 1101 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 1: you're sad, don't talk to me about it. And I 1102 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,640 Speaker 1: think in society there has not been a lot of 1103 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 1: importance on our mental health. 1104 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:30,840 Speaker 2: So when people like, oh, what I have I have 1105 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,839 Speaker 2: to pay for this? Yeah, I was like, yes, you'd 1106 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:35,919 Speaker 2: do when it's really. 1107 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 1: Important and it should be not only more accessible and cheaper, 1108 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 1: but it also should be a priority. 1109 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,359 Speaker 2: I think a lot of that can also come down 1110 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,200 Speaker 2: to though, like the way that we had taught about 1111 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:50,040 Speaker 2: mental health in society and also the fear and stigma 1112 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,240 Speaker 2: that comes around dealing with mental health. Like some people 1113 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 2: will like, there genuinely are people out there who can't 1114 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 2: even afford to put groceries on the table, right, So 1115 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 2: of course they're like the people they physically. 1116 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 1: Cannot got to eat. 1117 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 2: Yes, if I cannot find the money anywhere, like I'm stuffed. 1118 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 2: But then there's also people who, you know, they've been 1119 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 2: told their whole lives, like, you know, it's weird. People 1120 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,399 Speaker 2: go to therapy and it's scary and it's uncomfortable. 1121 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: When I told my parents like five years ago that 1122 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,839 Speaker 1: I was going because I did therapy for probably three 1123 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 1: years straight, they literally were like, but you're so fine, 1124 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 1: Like we raised you so well, why do you need 1125 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,360 Speaker 1: to go to therapy like you had the best childhood. 1126 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:33,600 Speaker 2: Well, when you have those stigmas associated with it, and 1127 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 2: then you're telling someone who is really you know, living 1128 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,719 Speaker 2: paycheck to paycheck and is struggling to them, be like, no, 1129 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,280 Speaker 2: actually cut something out of your life that you really 1130 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,080 Speaker 2: enjoy and brings you a slither of joy and put 1131 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 2: it towards this thing that you've been told your whole 1132 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 2: life only freaks do and it's really scary and it's 1133 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 2: comfortable and you're not gonna like it and whatever.

And that's a big thing where 1147 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 2: I'm like, I know it's scary, and I know you 1148 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,719 Speaker 2: feel like you don't have money, and I know you 1149 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,719 Speaker 2: feel like you're going to have to sacrifice the very 1150 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,879 Speaker 2: few luxuries you have in like a cost of living 1151 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,279 Speaker 2: crisis where things are already tight, But trust me, it. 1152 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:40,839 Speaker 1: Would be the best. 1153 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 2: It's worth it, trust me, Like if you can, if 1154 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,160 Speaker 2: you are not at the point where you're like, we 1155 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,360 Speaker 2: can't even pay groceries. Like, if you have a spare 1156 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,880 Speaker 2: fifty dollars a week, spend six months saving up that 1157 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,319 Speaker 2: fifty dollars to do therapy. I promise you you will 1158 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 2: not regret it and it will not be like wasted 1159 00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,799 Speaker 2: money at all. But it's so hard, and you can 1160 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 2: understand why people feel absolutely apprehensive about starting it totally. 1161 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:13,439 Speaker 1: And that's like, I also think people need to get 1162 00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 1: And it's like even what you're saying, how like you'd 1163 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 1: see some of my content and like, you know, roll 1164 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 1: your eyes. I think people need to get to a 1165 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:24,560 Speaker 1: certain spot in their life for something to be relevant 1166 00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: and for something to be a priority. And like we said, 1167 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: like it does suck that it has to be rock bottom, 1168 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 1: and for you it had to be literally your whole 1169 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,600 Speaker 1: world crashing down. But now that you've done it, you're like, 1170 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 1: oh my god, I you know, this is amazing. I 1171 00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 1: want to scream it to the world. And so it 1172 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,920 Speaker 1: does really suck that sometimes it has to be rock bottom, 1173 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,840 Speaker 1: or sometimes someone just has to be really ready. And 1174 00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,080 Speaker 1: what I say with like therapy or mindset work or 1175 00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 1: anything like that you can never push someone to go 1176 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 1: and do it because let's say you know your brother's 1177 00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 1: an addict and he's gone going through whatnot, and you're like, 1178 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:02,480 Speaker 1: I'll pay your therapy, I'll do. 1179 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,040 Speaker 2: It, unless you have to want to help yourself. 1180 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,279 Speaker 1: Unless he wants to help himself and he's ready for 1181 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,359 Speaker 1: the awareness and he's ready for it, it's not even 1182 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:14,440 Speaker 1: going to work. And so it is very sad that 1183 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: like some people will never really get to that place 1184 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:23,040 Speaker 1: or have that realization because they do truly believe it's 1185 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 1: like for this work to work, you need to be 1186 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 1: ready for it. 1187 00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:29,720 Speaker 2: You have to I like have said to a lot 1188 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,320 Speaker 2: of people around like self work, you have to literally 1189 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 2: chuck your ego in the min and like let go 1190 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 2: of everything everything you knew, so humble and just be like, Okay, 1191 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 2: I'm coming to you like a chakra work. Yeah, like 1192 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,960 Speaker 2: you're coming to like I am a worm, Like I 1193 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 2: am not going like build me back up. And but 1194 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:51,960 Speaker 2: that's really hard to do, Like that's really hard to 1195 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,040 Speaker 2: be like let that go, let that ego go, like 1196 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 2: even the ego of being like getting to the point 1197 00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 2: of like being like I'm not okay, I'm actually really 1198 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:03,080 Speaker 2: fun struggling. That takes so much to like stand there 1199 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:08,200 Speaker 2: to people and actually wholeheartedly admit, hey, I'm really not 1200 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,640 Speaker 2: doing okay. Is such a scary and hard thing to do, like, 1201 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 2: and that's the thing where it's like the person has 1202 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,560 Speaker 2: to be ready to do it themselves and you have 1203 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 2: to take those scary steps otherwise you're just not gonna 1204 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 2: get to a point where you're gonna it's gonna like 1205 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,840 Speaker 2: actually set in because you need to strip away yeah, 1206 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,640 Speaker 2: everything else. Otherwise it's just like you are literally peeing 1207 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 2: money up the wall and just being like it's not 1208 00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:31,919 Speaker 2: gonna work. Like you have to get to a point, 1209 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,320 Speaker 2: like I was saying before when I did the course, 1210 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 2: I was just like, well, I've paid all this money, 1211 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,160 Speaker 2: like I got to go into this full chest one 1212 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 2: hundred percent. Otherwise I am just gonna be wasting yes lumps. 1213 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 2: And that is really really hard and takes a lot 1214 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 2: of yeah, humbleness to be like okay, like I'm just 1215 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,800 Speaker 2: gonna swallow everything in my head that's saying this is 1216 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 2: silly and this is stupid and this will never work 1217 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 2: and just being like just give it a go and see. 1218 00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,480 Speaker 2: And that takes because it's a risk because known you're 1219 00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,120 Speaker 2: not guaranteed a result at the end, So that's the 1220 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:03,720 Speaker 2: scary bit. 1221 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,240 Speaker 1: It is scary, and also because a lot of it 1222 00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: relies on how much you show up, and a lot 1223 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 1: of people don't have that confidence in themselves. All right, 1224 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 1: my love, I'm going to ask you one last question. 1225 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,520 Speaker 1: And this has been an amazing conversation, by the way, Yeah, 1226 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 1: it's really stimulated me. 1227 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 2: I've really enjoyed it.

So, 1250 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,640 Speaker 2: first of all, I know probably not on that level, 1251 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 2: but anyone going through a big life change, the judgments 1252 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,120 Speaker 2: and criticisms is so much and I'd love for you 1253 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 2: to kind of just finish on the advice for someone 1254 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:51,680 Speaker 2: going through it, just because you've like yeah, on social media, 1255 01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:52,680 Speaker 2: I was like, that's a. 1256 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,640 Speaker 1: Bit much like, yes, I hope you're blocking people. 1257 01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing that I so many creators 1258 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 2: are like, you're fucking insane because I very rarely block 1259 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 2: and delete. I leave a lot your face is like, 1260 01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 2: excuse me, I leave a lot of the negative discourse up. Obviously, 1261 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:11,920 Speaker 2: if it goes to a place of it being like 1262 01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 2: absolutely appropriate, futrid and bile, yes, those people get blocked 1263 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 2: and deleted, or if it's just like them constantly constantly, constantly, 1264 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:19,840 Speaker 2: I might like, okay, okay. 1265 01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,479 Speaker 1: D obsess me, but my page. 1266 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,080 Speaker 2: I've never been never been afraid of negative discourse or 1267 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 2: hidden it because I think there is so much learning 1268 01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 2: in dealing with negative judgments or even letting people see 1269 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:37,800 Speaker 2: negativity against you. I think it shows people like I 1270 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,040 Speaker 2: think it's very common for creators, and it's I would say, 1271 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 2: by and large, the done thing to delete and block 1272 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 2: negative opinions. But then it makes people sometimes think when 1273 01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 2: they view something that you know, everyone else in life 1274 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,480 Speaker 2: is making these big changes and doing these big things 1275 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,480 Speaker 2: and they're not getting any negative pushback, and then they're 1276 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 2: trying to do the same thing and they're like, why 1277 01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 2: is everyone in my life being such a ce next 1278 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 2: Tuesday about doing X, Y and Z. So I do 1279 01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 2: leave it up sometimes to show people the reality, the 1280 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 2: reality of sometimes doing hard things or changing things is like, yes, 1281 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 2: you have to deal with negative backlash and push through. 1282 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:12,920 Speaker 2: I also think there's a lot of learning that can 1283 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:18,600 Speaker 2: come from me in negativity. Also, I feel like it's 1284 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:20,800 Speaker 2: really great to like touch on I think being women, 1285 01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 2: I definitely have learned in the last six months that 1286 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:28,720 Speaker 2: internalized misogyny is alive and well in Australian women, absolutely 1287 01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:33,960 Speaker 2: so so so fascinating to watch the me and my 1288 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 2: X husband go through the exact same situation and the vast, 1289 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 2: vast differences in his comment section versus my comment section, 1290 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:43,920 Speaker 2: and the only difference is he has a penis and 1291 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:48,520 Speaker 2: I do not, which is really really frustrating to endure 1292 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:54,800 Speaker 2: and see. I think people get very triggered watching someone 1293 01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,920 Speaker 2: do hard things and survive because it goes against them, 1294 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 2: standing up the narrative they've told themselves of I have 1295 01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:05,840 Speaker 2: to accept this because if I don't accept the shitty behavior, yes, 1296 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 2: if I don't, and that's in everything, that's not just 1297 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 2: in a relationship, like I have to accept this lot 1298 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,840 Speaker 2: in life because there's no other option. And people who 1299 01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,680 Speaker 2: feel really trapped in that when they see someone not 1300 01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,720 Speaker 2: accepting that, going against it, doing the hard work and 1301 01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,000 Speaker 2: coming out the other end, that triggers the fuck out 1302 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,120 Speaker 2: of them because they're like, hang on a minute, no, 1303 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,560 Speaker 2: because then I can't just tell myself I have to 1304 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,959 Speaker 2: accept what is happening to me in life. I can't 1305 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,840 Speaker 2: just be the victim, because you're showing me in real 1306 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,920 Speaker 2: time that I can choose another option, and there's always 1307 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,640 Speaker 2: another choice, and I hate that because that doesn't make 1308 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,880 Speaker 2: me feel good about myself and the choices that I'm 1309 01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 2: making in my own life. Which actually that response makes 1310 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 2: me the saddest because I'm like, I share those things 1311 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 2: to show you there is another option. So it makes 1312 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,840 Speaker 2: me really sad when it makes people feel like, oh, like, 1313 01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,600 Speaker 2: I don't like that because it makes me feel bad 1314 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 2: about the choice I am choosing. That's never the intention. 1315 01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,000 Speaker 2: It's to show like, hey, like you can be vulnerable, 1316 01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,800 Speaker 2: you can be honest to people around you. You can 1317 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 2: say I'm not doing well. I failed at this, this sucked. 1318 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,400 Speaker 2: This was a really hard period, and that's okay. You 1319 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,840 Speaker 2: can share all of that stuff and keep on keeping on. 1320 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,320 Speaker 2: I think it's also really cool to show, you know. 1321 01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,760 Speaker 2: A big thing on social media is the struggle Olympics, right, 1322 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 2: especially TikTok. It has a real thing of you will 1323 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,200 Speaker 2: share something hard, and it's the worst platform for someone 1324 01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,880 Speaker 2: being like, yeah, but there's also this person doing this 1325 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,240 Speaker 2: and it's like I've got it harder. Yes, And that 1326 01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 2: can get really exhausting to deal with as well. And 1327 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,840 Speaker 2: I think it's a reason why I've never stopped showing 1328 01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,480 Speaker 2: my heart is to really just push, like you don't 1329 01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:41,760 Speaker 2: have to be like in a homeless shelter with one 1330 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,720 Speaker 2: cent to your name to be going through a hard time. 1331 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,840 Speaker 2: Anyone can go through hard times at any time. And 1332 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,680 Speaker 2: also everyone does go through hard times, you know, Like 1333 01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 2: I think we get put in this mindset of like 1334 01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,120 Speaker 2: no one else is going through hard times, it's just me. 1335 01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 2: Or A really big thing I found in social media 1336 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 2: is people will about the hard times in retrospect and 1337 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 2: they'll make like one fifteen second video about it, and 1338 01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 2: every day Joe is looking at that video being like, 1339 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:09,680 Speaker 2: oh I went through a time like that. Oh you 1340 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:12,000 Speaker 2: sorted that in a fifteen second video. Why am I 1341 01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,560 Speaker 2: still in the Why have I been going through this 1342 01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 2: for a year? Then, and you did all of that 1343 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,280 Speaker 2: behind the scenes. I never even saw any of it, 1344 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,400 Speaker 2: and then you've made this like summary video and now 1345 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:24,080 Speaker 2: everything's like fine and andy. So sometimes I'm like, despite 1346 01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 2: the negativity, I think it's really healthy to show people 1347 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,960 Speaker 2: like hard times can last and hard times can go 1348 01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 2: on for a while, and it's not something that you 1349 01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,480 Speaker 2: can just wake up and fix. And so sometimes I 1350 01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,200 Speaker 2: feel bad and I'm like, oh God, I don't want 1351 01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,400 Speaker 2: to come online and be like, hey, everything's still a 1352 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,720 Speaker 2: mess over here. But then other times I'm like this 1353 01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 2: is so normal, like it's actually just realize yes, like 1354 01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,240 Speaker 2: this is just the reality of it, and like this 1355 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,600 Speaker 2: is normal emotions that people go through. And I think 1356 01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,840 Speaker 2: sometimes by showing up or even letting people see the 1357 01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:57,160 Speaker 2: stigma that goes against expressing negative parts of your life 1358 01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:01,680 Speaker 2: almost destigmatizes it. And I really hope that like one person, 1359 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,000 Speaker 2: Like I always say this, if one person goes through 1360 01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 2: a hard time and thinks, oh, well, you know, like 1361 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 2: I saw that girl on social media do the same thing, 1362 01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 2: and I saw she got through it and I can 1363 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 2: get through it, then I'm happy. I just need one 1364 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,040 Speaker 2: person for it to resonate to, and I'm like that's 1365 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,720 Speaker 2: enough for me. Like I don't need everyone to love 1366 01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,480 Speaker 2: me all the time. No, I would rather make an 1367 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:24,800 Speaker 2: impact on one person and be vulnerable and actually authentic 1368 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,440 Speaker 2: to me then be like wishy washy and have everyone 1369 01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:31,560 Speaker 2: love me. And I think that has really been what 1370 01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:35,360 Speaker 2: I've told myself my entire journey online of like just 1371 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,920 Speaker 2: be you and accept not everyone's gonna like you, and 1372 01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:42,120 Speaker 2: it's going to trigger people watching you be you, because 1373 01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,720 Speaker 2: not many people do that and that's okay. It doesn't 1374 01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,600 Speaker 2: matter because if you make a difference to a small 1375 01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 2: group of people, that's enough for you. And I think 1376 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,360 Speaker 2: that really comes down to on social media, people like 1377 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,000 Speaker 2: how do you do it? Like, I think it really 1378 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,760 Speaker 2: comes down to your why and understanding, like. 1379 01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:58,439 Speaker 1: And that's your why. So that makes complete sense, hmm. 1380 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,280 Speaker 2: But it is rough in saying this. There is days fucked. 1381 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:02,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1382 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 2: There is days where I will call my best comments 1383 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,480 Speaker 2: so I was like, are these people okay, what's happening? 1384 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,400 Speaker 2: I will call my best friend in tears and be 1385 01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,680 Speaker 2: like I can't do this, or like call my therapist 1386 01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:15,600 Speaker 2: in tears and be like, you know, like it is hard, 1387 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,160 Speaker 2: Like it's not like I'm like happy, positive about it 1388 01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:22,000 Speaker 2: all the time. But I just try and remember, why 1389 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:23,920 Speaker 2: are you doing it? And I always say to people 1390 01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:27,840 Speaker 2: because of the amount of hate I yet I definitely 1391 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:30,720 Speaker 2: am not in social media for the money, because no 1392 01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,160 Speaker 2: amount of money could justify that. I'm in it for 1393 01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,840 Speaker 2: the thing of like I love talking to women and 1394 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:38,760 Speaker 2: I love helping women, and that's why I show up 1395 01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:40,880 Speaker 2: every day Because you could pay me a million dollars 1396 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:42,600 Speaker 2: and I wouldn't freaking sit and cop some of the 1397 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 2: stuff that I cop every day. Yeah, it's not about that, 1398 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,120 Speaker 2: and that's not what fills me up and lights me up. 1399 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,280 Speaker 2: So that's how I try and deal with it. 1400 01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:54,400 Speaker 1: I love that you're so self aware and it's so beautiful. No, 1401 01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:57,360 Speaker 1: it is because I think even you clarifying and being like, well, 1402 01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:00,480 Speaker 1: this is my why, and a not a lot of 1403 01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,760 Speaker 1: people even have a why. They don't have a purpose, 1404 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,120 Speaker 1: they don't have that. So for me to hear that, 1405 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,960 Speaker 1: that's incredible that you've been able to process that and 1406 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 1: move through that too. 1407 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:13,200 Speaker 2: I feel like identifying your why is so important to 1408 01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,040 Speaker 2: do it, and like money can be your why. That's 1409 01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,880 Speaker 2: so fine off literally, especially as a woman. I want 1410 01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 2: to make that really clear. You are allowed to have 1411 01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 2: money be your why. Men have done it for generations 1412 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:25,599 Speaker 2: and generations and no one said fuck all about it. 1413 01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,320 Speaker 2: So if you want your why to be I want 1414 01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,800 Speaker 2: to be rich and have money, it slay queen. But 1415 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:33,400 Speaker 2: I think like you need to identify what is it 1416 01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,240 Speaker 2: and then make decisions from there. Yeah, and then so 1417 01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 2: once you are so zoned in on that, the rest 1418 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 2: is kind of white noise. 1419 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, you just and that's well, that's the main thing. 1420 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 1: Is like, well, the money can be the why, so 1421 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,080 Speaker 1: then don't fucking worry about the comments because it's literally 1422 01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:47,599 Speaker 1: your money. 1423 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,200 Speaker 2: Literally, that's what I mean. And it's just identifying what 1424 01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,680 Speaker 2: is the purpose and why you're doing it, and the 1425 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,759 Speaker 2: second you have that, it's a lot easier. 1426 01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,280 Speaker 1: I love that so much.
