We absolutely do, but you know some 19 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: moms have kids anyway, apologies about that. I want to 20 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: go straight in your magnetic Blueprint was the course that 21 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 2: we hosted at the start of the year, and it 22 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: is a course about setting goals, but it's also you know, 23 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: it's a fourteen day course, so it's like a mini course, 24 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: and for the first seven days we're really asking you 25 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: questions that help you uncover maybe some masks you've been 26 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: wearing and some things that you have been doing that 27 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: you don't actually want to do, and the person like 28 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: you don't actually want to be, but it's from you thinking, 29 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: maybe from childhood or like how you're brought up or school, 30 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: that you have to be that person in order to 31 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: get something. We're really smart, and it's this coping mechanism 32 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: where it's like, well, if i'm this person, I'll get 33 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: this outcome. We tend to do it as children, you know, 34 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: to get our parents to act a certain way or 35 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: be a certain way, or that's just what we think 36 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: we have to do to survive or whatnot. And then 37 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: we carry these masks as we get older, but they 38 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: tend to get heavy, and we tend to get burnt out, 39 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: and we tend to not like our lives because we're 40 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: almost like living it for other people, or like living 41 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: it from wounds so look pretty deep first seven days 42 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 2: of the course, and then the last seven days you're 43 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: making goals. So it's super fun. That course is actually 44 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: still available if you guys want to do it. I 45 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: think we might even put like a discaln code. Yeah, 46 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: we'll we'll do a dissy for you if you want 47 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 2: to do it. Just because I know it's probably a 48 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: couple months into the air, but Cooper, I wanted to 49 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 2: ask you and get this conversation rolling of some mass 50 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 2: that you worn when you were younger or even now, 51 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: and like the coping mechanisms, just so people can understand 52 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 2: and get some examples and start getting their brain thinking 53 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: of like, oh, where am I actually doing life from 54 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: this very unconscious wounded state. 55 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: Maybe you go. 56 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: The biggest one for me was very interesting. We grew 57 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: up in a family four children. I felt like I 58 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: didn't have much attention from mom and dad because they 59 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: worked so hard. You know, Mum had four children, She 60 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: didn't have a cleaner, she didn't have help, so she 61 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: was like always busy doing shit. Dad was obviously working 62 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 2: all the time. It was fun to play with my brothers, 63 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: but they're my brothers, Like I don't actually really care 64 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: for their attention, and so I developed this coping mechanism. 65 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: I felt very average, don't get me wrong, Like my parents, 66 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: I feel like they loved me so much, and like 67 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 2: I didn't feel unloved. And also when I was younger, 68 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: I tried a whole bunch of like sports, gymnastic, dancing, 69 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: and I didn't feel good at anything, Like I didn't 70 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 2: excel at anything. I wasn't that smart in school, I 71 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 2: felt like I didn't get a lot of praise for things. 72 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 2: And then when I got older, because I know, shut up, 73 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: I'm still upset about it. 74 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 3: It still because we know what gets dad's attention anyway. 75 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: But what well this let me tell you why. 76 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: So it literally didn't happen until I was older in 77 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: high school, and I decided I wanted to be a 78 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: lawyer because I watched Legally Blond and all. So our 79 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 2: oldest brother's girlfriend at the time was from like a 80 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 2: low socio economic family, and she said she was doing law, 81 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: and I remember thinking, fuck, are you no? But I 82 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: remember thinking, oh my god, like if she can do law, 83 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: surely I can do it. That's really toxic. Surely I 84 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: can do law. And so we were brought up, we 85 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: were so I then started doing really well at school. 86 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: Told mom and dad I wanted to be a lawyer, 87 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 2: and I got so much attention, Like I remember Die 88 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: being drunk telling random people, my daughter's going to be 89 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: a lawyer. She's so smart. And I was like, this 90 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: is amazing. This is the attention that I always wanted 91 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: as a child, you know, getting when I'm older. So I, 92 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: you know, I do my law degree work really hard. 93 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: Honestly it was very draining, but I was like, I 94 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 2: got to finish this degree. Meanwhile, I'm doing my social media. 95 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: I'm earning money from my social media. And our parents 96 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: are very financially focused because they came from like a 97 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: low socio economic background, so like money means survival. Money 98 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: is important to them. 99 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 3: You know. 100 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 2: I started to get also a lot of praise from 101 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: mom and dad for earning money while I was like 102 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: at UNI and also super toxic too. I started getting 103 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: so much praise when I got really skinny from mom 104 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 2: and dad that it does make sense. Basically, my mask 105 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: was overachieving. 106 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 3: Great, I don't have one. I don't know. 107 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: I know when you're like I've got nothing, I'm looking 108 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: at you, like, what are you talking about? You're like 109 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: the most wounded person growing up, So let me finish 110 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 2: one and then you can do yours. So I developed overachieving, 111 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: and so that's why I was doing law. Started making 112 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 2: money off social media, but like good money, like no 113 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 2: one else was making that sort of money. I got 114 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 2: like as skinny as possible, Like it was like everything 115 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: I did to the extreme because of the praise that 116 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: I got from people around me. And so I basically 117 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: then made every decision based off getting that praise and 118 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: approval from people. And I continued to make those decisions literally, 119 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: probably not until what like a couple of years ago. 120 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: I continued the high overachieving. I continued every time we'd 121 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 2: see Dad, he'd be like, how much money do you 122 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: end this week? He still kind of does it now. 123 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: But I actually remember when I was going through this 124 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: and realizing such a huge mass for me was this 125 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: overachieving and how burnt out and how like I was like, 126 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: I just don't want to be this person anymore. I 127 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: don't want to live for everyone else. And that's why 128 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: I had such a journey with like you know, with 129 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: my weight becoming just like my weight now and all 130 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,119 Speaker 2: these things. It's almost like I was pushing against people, 131 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: being like, no, fuck you, I'm going to be who 132 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: I want to be and I'm not going to fit 133 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: inside your box. That was a huge thing for me. 134 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: Like I remember I even wanted to like dye my 135 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 2: head brown because I knew Dad loved blonde, you know, 136 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: like weird shit like that, Like I feel weird saying 137 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: that by that makes sense. It makes sense. And so 138 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 2: you go through this thing where it's like I don't 139 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: want to be what everyone thinks I need to be. 140 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: Even what we're talking about in our previous episode of 141 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: like this year not having as many stresses, definitely recommend 142 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: you guys listening to that. It was a good ee. 143 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: We just like we talked a lot of shit, but 144 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: there were some great points in it. 145 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: Which. 146 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 3: And then. 147 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: Well look real that was Georgia last year and I'm 148 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: still just paying for the consequences this year. Anyway, at 149 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: the moment, it's like what am I actually? You know, 150 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: what do I want? Even you know, with my followers 151 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 2: on Instagram or whatnot, Like it was very much how 152 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: can I be the most relatable person so everyone likes 153 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: me on Instagram? How can I fit the size so 154 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: everyone likes me on Instagram. I was just trying to 155 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 2: fit myself in a box so much, but I got 156 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: so tired, so exhausted. I developed physical things, like I 157 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 2: had a thio disease, which I've now actually completely reversed. 158 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: And even if you think about it, it's an autoimmune 159 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: disease where your body is attacking itself. Like I got 160 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: to the point where I was doing so many things 161 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 2: for other people's approval, it's like my body started attacking itself. 162 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: Like that's not normal for your body to do that, 163 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: and so I had to really do some deep work 164 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: to figure this all out and I did that. 165 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 3: Let's look at that what you've just said. Then there's 166 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: always good to bad. So having the things, having these masks, 167 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 3: all the good that has come out of it for 168 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 3: you so much good, amazing, Like look at my life now, 169 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: so grateful. You get to a point where you need 170 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 3: to transition and be like, no, I don't want to 171 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 3: wear this mask anymore. And it's that transition time that 172 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 3: you're going to get a dip because you're going into 173 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 3: a new reality of being the person you want to be. 174 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: So you're gonna have to go through some rough or 175 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 3: when you get out of it to drop the mask. 176 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: You're going to be in another journey and there's going 177 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: to be good from that because you've just gone into 178 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 3: a bit of a dip and now you get to 179 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 3: live your life and not have all these diseases and. 180 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: You're not going to be full of diseases, thank god. 181 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: But even I love that you brought that up. Even 182 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: thinking about that when I was, you know, going through 183 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 2: being too skinny and my body was not coping, I 184 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: remember thinking, oh my god, I'm going to lose my 185 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: followers now, blah blah blah. But even if we think 186 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: about that, when I start talking about intuitive eating, when I, 187 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: you know, just was like working out and eating for 188 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: like what I loved, I actually gained this whole new 189 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 2: audience who was like, yes, thank you please, I don't 190 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 2: want these like people on my feed who were so 191 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: like unattainable. So it actually became like relatable and like 192 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: a friend to someone else, different people. And I think 193 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: that's with the mass situation, as you will be scared 194 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 2: to take it off because it has benefited you for 195 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: such a long time. I still work through today with 196 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 2: the overachieving because I have so much of my identity 197 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 2: in you know, I'm the big influencer who like has 198 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: the businesses and he's a girl boss and like all 199 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: those sorts of things. But I'm even noticing this year 200 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: I want to transition even more to like being in 201 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 2: my feminine and like doing things differently in business and 202 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 2: not working how I used to work, and obviously focusing 203 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 2: on family. And it's scares me because I did things 204 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: so certainly for such a long time and got such 205 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: a good result. But it's so important for us to 206 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: like prove to ourselves that I can take off this 207 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 2: mask and I can do something different and still have 208 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: an incredible outcome. See even the other day it actually 209 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: triggered me a little bit when you were like, I 210 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: don't know, I feel like you said something about like 211 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: me maybe not working as much. 212 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 3: Why would I say that. 213 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: To you because you your fucking father's son. 214 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: No doulls what Because I don't like that about myself? 215 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and everything, I'm not. 216 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 3: Doing it in myself. So I've just figured this out today. 217 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 3: Actually I was thinking, and I was like, I've figured 218 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: said it a few things in my head, and I'm like, 219 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 3: George is just not really into it. 220 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: George is doing nothing. 221 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 3: Then I'm like, look at your Instagram and look at 222 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 3: what you're doing, and I'm like. 223 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: What the fuck am I talking about? 224 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: Literally everything, So always a reflection of yourself that you 225 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 3: don't like about yourself. So and then I was like, 226 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: that's why I'm changing, that's why I'm doing this, and 227 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 3: that's why I'm going in the business more. You should 228 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 3: never aly on other people to change yourself. You should 229 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 3: always do it. It's always in yourself. 230 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 2: Well, that triggered me because that was the old wound 231 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: of how Georgia. Remember how I was like a workaholic 232 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: when I was working twenty four to seven, and so 233 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 2: that's like it got me a certain outcome. So when 234 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: you said that to me, I was like, oh my gosh, 235 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: like maybe I need to go back to the old 236 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 2: self and blah blah blah. But this year, I think 237 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 2: you missed this part. But I'm trying to step more 238 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 2: on my feminine and do things in a very different way. 239 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 2: So I acknowledged that comment and did think it's more 240 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: about him than me. He's going through something. I'll let 241 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: him process it and then we'll talk about it on Monday. 242 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: Because I am doing things a different way. There's guilt 243 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 2: because in a transition from Mars, it feels uncomfortable, it 244 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 2: doesn't feel right. And so I had the initial thing 245 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: of like, oh is he right blah blah blah. 246 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 3: And I was like no, yeah, so you got that 247 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 3: awareness and then you assessed it of no, that's not 248 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: what I want to do. Yes, this is what I 249 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 3: want to be. You're welcome process. 250 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: Thank you for triggering me. And well, that's what I 251 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: mean is like I had to be like, well, no, 252 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: I don't want to work harder to get a result. 253 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 2: That's not how I want to do things anymore. So 254 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 2: I can leave that there and yeah, realize that that's 255 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 2: not what I have to do. But that was a 256 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: great point for me. 257 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 3: All right. So my mask when I was younger was 258 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: the exact same thing I wanted to overachieve with sport. 259 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: So I remember I was in grade one and I 260 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 3: did the cross country and I come first, and I 261 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 3: remember my mom just going, oh my goodness, like could 262 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 3: you just come first, Like we've got a son that's 263 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 3: really good at sport. And then told Dad and he 264 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 3: was stoked and he praised me and said that was 265 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 3: so good, Cooper. So I got love in overchieving in sports. 266 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 3: So from then on, I always strived to be really 267 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: good at sport, like I had the ability. But that 268 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 3: was my mask to try and get love from Dad, 269 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: and it was one. And I always did sprinting and 270 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 3: I did soccer, and I just always tried to get 271 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: Dad's love for that. You were very athletic, So that 272 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 3: was my mask. But I got into high school and 273 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 3: then I was like, I actually don't like this. It 274 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 3: was too much pressure. I didn't really like it, so 275 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 3: I stopped. And then that's when I just kind of 276 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 3: didn't get much from Dad anymore. And then I went 277 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 3: and did plumbing. I just that was just the easy option. 278 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 3: I didn't so I didn't really get much from Dad. 279 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 3: So that's when I started partying, and I was like, 280 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 3: I just want to close my eyes. I want to escape, 281 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 3: and yeah, I started doing drugs and I started which 282 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 3: everyone but anyway. 283 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll go there. 284 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. So I just I needed to escape and I 285 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: just didn't get those things. And I didn't get love 286 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: from yeah Dad, And that was my biggest thing. Like 287 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 3: he obviously loved me, of course didn't. He's like the 288 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 3: best dad ever. 289 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 2: He's the best ad, did you feel like mom loved you? 290 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I got loved from Mum.

I had a massive 296 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 3: blue with Dad and he said, well, the only reason 297 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 3: you're successful is Georgia. 298 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: And that breaks my heart so much. 299 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a massive fight with him. I nearly 300 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 3: told him to get out of my house because he 301 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 3: was staying there anyway. 302 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 2: It was a big. 303 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 3: Thing, and I was like, few, like, that's it.

Still it in your love. And 307 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 3: then I did my inner work stuff and I was 308 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 3: able to let go of all these masks and I 309 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 3: was I didn't need I didn't need Dad's love anymore. 310 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 2: And it's like also the approval. 311 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't need approval, didn't need love. I didn't 312 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 3: need anything from Dad. All I just said to him. 313 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 3: I was like, I want love and support, but if 314 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 3: you can't do it, it's okay because I love and 315 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 3: support myself. And so from that point, that's when I 316 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 3: started seeing a different relationship with Dad, and that's when 317 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 3: he started giving me love. That was the big turning 318 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 3: point in our relationship. 319 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 2: You stop changing it. 320 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, when I took the masks off and I become 321 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 3: my person and who I wanted to be, and like 322 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: Dad would never come to me for advice ever about anything, 323 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 3: and now they come to me, which is so weird. 324 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 3: And they asked we keep like with financial problems, with 325 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 3: mental problems, Like they come to me for advice and 326 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 3: they respect me so much. And it's all because I 327 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 3: respected myself. I loved myself. I had got a good 328 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: relationship with myself. So in a work, took all my 329 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 3: masks off. I love that. So that's when it fully 330 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 3: changed for me. Now I'm Riborn, Now I am Ribel. 331 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 3: It took a long while, but a lot of people 332 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 3: don't get there, and that's the sad part two order. Yeah, 333 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 3: so I'm very grateful that I've gotten to this point. 334 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: It was actually such a benefit to you, Dad going no, 335 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: I don't think you're successful, no, blah, blah blah, because 336 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 2: that was like your rock bottom moment of like, well, 337 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 2: fuck you, I'm gonna go and just do it for myself. 338 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop caring about you. And that's when everything shifted. 339 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 2: And obviously you benefited so much from that mask because 340 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 2: look at naked harvest, look at your life. Yeah, so 341 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 2: we always benefit. And it's like, it's really good if 342 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: you can see the benefit from the mask, because that 343 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 2: will help you understand why you've been wearing it for 344 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: so long. You can put it down, yeah, because other 345 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 2: as we see the mask and be like, oh, why 346 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 2: have I been doing this? You know, blah blah blah. 347 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: But it's like, see all the benefits really yeah, it 348 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: makes actually a lot of sense. And we're really smart, 349 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 2: Like we're so intelligent. Our subconscious will do what's best 350 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 2: for us in every scenario. And it's like, for whatever reason, 351 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: that was best for us. I even love how your 352 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 2: moment is like if I want the respect and love, 353 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 2: I need to give it to myself. And I feel 354 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 2: like not a lot of people even get to that realization. 355 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 2: That's huge. 356 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 3: But like having these masks, they all they can be 357 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 3: your survival as well. 358 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: Those masks most of the time. We started wearing them 359 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 2: for survival. If you think about a child, the parents 360 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: have to love them for them to survive. And so 361 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 2: it feels like unless you're in a position in your environment. Sorry, 362 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 2: now you've kind of got to be out of that 363 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 2: survival mode to even explore this. If you're still in survival, 364 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: it's going to be so hard to let go of 365 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 2: a mask because it's like your nervous system you're unconscious, 366 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: like it won't let you. 367 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 3: But it is very difficult to do this. That was 368 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 3: the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. So 369 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 3: it's not something that you can just say, yeah, just 370 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 3: do it it unconscious work. Yeah, the first thing is 371 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: awareness and then start talking about it, start looking for it. 372 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 3: Subconscious wants to go there anyway, so it's start doing it. 373 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 3: A small thing for me. 374 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 2: It was the small moments, even like I said the 375 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 2: other day, when you said something about me not working 376 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: as much, and then I had to in that moment decide, 377 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 2: even though what you said is someone who I love 378 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: and respect, I didn't want to wear that mask. So 379 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: I was going to continue in the uncertainty, in the 380 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: uncomfortable path of all I'm doing things differently, not wearing 381 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 2: the overachieving mask. Like that's a small step, and it's 382 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 2: like making those constantly where you're like, we don't want 383 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 2: to do it, how I've always done it? Go to 384 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 2: choose differently. Yeah, we're gonna love and leave you. This 385 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 2: is just a little episode to get your brain thinking of, 386 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: like maybe where you're wearing masks and how it could 387 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 2: literally be creating health issues, how it could be you know, 388 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 2: steering you in this unconscious constantly driving for something, and 389 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 2: it's like you don't actually need to carry it anymore, 390 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: you don't actually need to wear it, and you actually 391 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: feel so much better, Like, for example, do you feel 392 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 2: so much better now you're not like trying and pushing 393 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: and craving dads love? Oh, Like I'm free, free weight 394 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 2: off the shoulders. 395 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 3: Imagine feeling free God locked up, Yeah, in the bottom 396 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 3: of the cage and then you finally get out. That's 397 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: literally what it feels like. That's what we're all chasing. 398 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, guys, thanks so much for listening. Cooper 399 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: will be back because you guys love him, and we'll 400 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: chat to you at some other point. 401 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 3: Bye.
