Speaker 1: self awareness. If you're ready to get into the driver's
Speaker 1: seat of your own life and stop in life pass
Speaker 1: you by, then you're in the right place. Hello everybody,
Speaker 1: and welcome back to the Rise and Conquer Podcast. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the second episode of our Magic of Discovering Yourself series.
Speaker 1: Deep conversations and strong connection is such an important part
Speaker 1: of life, and the feedback we often get is how
Speaker 1: hard it can be to find people to have these
Speaker 1: conversations with or just start these conversations in general. So
Speaker 1: in part one of this series, I sat down with
Speaker 1: my husband Timothy, and in this second part I am
Speaker 1: sitting down with my brother, Cooper and co founder of
Speaker 1: Naked Half as Supplements. So for these interviews, we are
Speaker 1: actually using our brand new prompt cards. These are from
Speaker 1: the Magic of Discovering Yourself deck and these are launching
Speaker 1: at R and C on Tuesday next week, the twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: the twenty fourth, Thank You a Tire, and we created
Speaker 1: these cards to help you connect deeply with those around
Speaker 1: you and use them to help facilitate some of those
Speaker 1: deeper conversations without it, you know, feeling awkward and honestly,
Speaker 1: it just it gets the conversation going. Me and Tim
Speaker 1: fine when we do these cards, because we do them
Speaker 1: every date night, it gets the conversation going and then
Speaker 1: we will go off on other conversations and it's kind
Speaker 1: of like an ice breaker, but it's me and Tim
Speaker 1: have been together for over ten years, so you know,
Speaker 1: we've talked about everything, so it's really great to bring
Speaker 1: up new things to connect and talk about. And something
Speaker 1: to add to that is, you know, we do have
Speaker 1: a lot of feedback in our community of like, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to I want to find people to have
Speaker 1: different to have deeper conversations, Whereas you actually can usually
Speaker 1: have it with the people you already have, they just
Speaker 1: have never been like initiated and open to having these conversation.
Speaker 1: So it's a really good way to introduce deeper conversations
Speaker 1: with people who maybe aren't into self development, maybe who
Speaker 1: don't listen to the podcast, and like kind of like
Speaker 1: ease them in because you know, if they love you
Speaker 1: and they're like open to it. Oh, me and him
Speaker 1: have also done it with like with his parents and
Speaker 1: like my parents, and it really does open such a
Speaker 1: beautiful like conversation and connection. And yeah, it's really it's
Speaker 1: really powerful.
Speaker 2: It's amazing, and I feel like you always will go
Speaker 2: on a tangent, but in the best way. I've also
Speaker 2: used them on my own for journaling, which I've loved
Speaker 2: as well. They're very very good prompts to just unpack
Speaker 2: by yourself if you want to.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love that. Yeah, So they're available next Tuesday.
Speaker 1: But I hope you enjoy this episode and will have
Speaker 1: all the details on socials or will have links in
Speaker 1: the show notes if you want to check out the cards.
Speaker 1: But before we get into it, I tear a quick
Speaker 1: weekly update.
Speaker 2: G Do you want to go first?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yay, it's been busy.
Speaker 1: She's had a couple of big weeks. So last week
Speaker 1: we had our Busygal event. It looks so cute, so
Speaker 1: we called it the Busygal Wellness Summit, And this was
Speaker 1: in celebration of our brand new product, the Busygal, which
Speaker 1: is an all in one shake for those times when
Speaker 1: you're on the go and you don't have access to like,
Speaker 1: you know, whole food, or you're going to skip a
Speaker 1: meal or something like that. And it's a really quick,
Speaker 1: easy shake that has all like a balanced macro profile
Speaker 1: of like proteins, fats, and carbs that you need to
Speaker 1: feel full, and then also a whole bunch of micronutrients
Speaker 1: that are specifically formulated for a female's body. So it's
Speaker 1: like your zinc and your icy iron and your calcium
Speaker 1: and your vitamin D. I showed my mum and she
Speaker 1: has some health issues that she's currently dealing with and
Speaker 1: all all like of the micronutrients, she's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I need this. So she's actually been taking it for
Speaker 1: the micro news aspect, so that was really exciting. We
Speaker 1: did our event and it was in Sydney, our first
Speaker 1: interstate event, which was it was wild. It was a
Speaker 1: really surreal moment for en h. It felt very like
Speaker 1: next level vibes.
Speaker 2: It looked incredible and the panelists also looked amazing.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. So we had an incredible panel
Speaker 1: of a whole like all different work walks of life,
Speaker 1: just talking about how they prioritize their health and wellness
Speaker 1: during those busy times. And what I loved is like
Speaker 1: everyone looked so different and that was the whole point
Speaker 1: of the summit is to be like, guys, health doesn't
Speaker 1: look one way. I know, in like the health industry,
Speaker 1: it can seem like there are a lot of right
Speaker 1: and wrongs. And something we said is like there's no
Speaker 1: right and wrong. You've got to listen to what feels
Speaker 1: could figure and understand that like you might be in
Speaker 1: a different season to someone else, and that's okay to
Speaker 1: really like honor that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love that. So, yeah, that was incredible. It was.
Speaker 1: I then spoke at a conference that friday, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: And then this.
Speaker 1: Weekend I have a wedding in Adelaide, So big week,
Speaker 1: lot's happening. I do feel like I'm getting a little
Speaker 1: bit sick, but I'm like determined not to be sick.
Speaker 1: I have just been keeping on too all the things.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it has been in incredible a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: What about you, titty, Oh, this week's been pretty chill.
Speaker 1: But tomorrow I have signed up for a nine kilometer
Speaker 1: obstacle course. Why you are so rogue on it?
Speaker 2: I am. It's I signed up with my friend thinking, oh,
Speaker 2: silly little obstacle course, it'll be a bit fun, paid
Speaker 2: for the ticket and then she said, I'm so glad
Speaker 2: you're doing it. I don't think anyone else is going
Speaker 2: to do it with me. And I was like why,
Speaker 2: Like it's just a.
Speaker 3: Bit of fun.
Speaker 2: And then I looked at the course map and it's
Speaker 2: nine kilometers and sixty obstacles, and like a tough mother,
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: About to say, is it tough mother vibes? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm so exciting. I'm excited. I'm actually really excited for you.
Speaker 2: I cannot wear It'll be out of my comfort zone
Speaker 2: because I also haven't trained for it.
Speaker 1: But I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is it with Christina no Kara, Okay, she's asthmatic,
Speaker 2: so I'll be fine.
Speaker 1: I will walk the whole thing because I was like, shit,
Speaker 1: that ain't gonna be that's fun. Yeah, I love that
Speaker 1: it ta. Should we get into the upside? Yes, let's
Speaker 1: do it, all right, Cooper, the magic of discovering yourself.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 3: So happy to be here again. It's my favorite place.
Speaker 1: I got to say it. Well, I haven't been on
Speaker 1: the podcast with you in a long time, but you've
Speaker 1: been on the podcast a lot, so I didn't even
Speaker 1: need to intro yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Should we get straight into it? Yea, let's have some
Speaker 1: connection time with our conversation cards and discover ourselves. Cooper,
Speaker 1: what is your least desirable trait and why is it
Speaker 1: not desirable?
Speaker 4: My least desirable? We're going straight in desirable pretty hard
Speaker 4: because I've got so many good ones. It's probably that
Speaker 4: I can be a bit impatient, and I have been
Speaker 4: working on that a fair bit.
Speaker 3: And it's you.
Speaker 4: You have to You have to kind of be patient
Speaker 4: if you've got three kids.
Speaker 3: So I'm a lot.
Speaker 4: Better than when I had one kid. But it is
Speaker 4: something that I want to work on a bit more
Speaker 4: because I was just driving in the car to come
Speaker 4: here with my wife and our newborn, and yeah, she
Speaker 4: was crying pretty hard and I was not talking, and
Speaker 4: it was I just get really distressed and impatient that
Speaker 4: I can't talk to her.
Speaker 3: And yeah, so that was a well.
Speaker 1: It's it's like discomfort. Like anytime you have discomfort, you
Speaker 1: want to like move through it fastly, and that's like
Speaker 1: a very normal human thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like in that scenario, I was distressed and because
Speaker 4: my sweet little girl is crying and not I wanted
Speaker 4: to cry. So I'm just being impatient of like not
Speaker 4: just taking a deep breath and thing and it's all good.
Speaker 4: She's just crying because she's got a bit of pain
Speaker 4: and she's in the car and we're going to stop
Speaker 4: soon and it's all good. But I'm like, no one
Speaker 4: can in the back of my head now one can
Speaker 4: see that, like freaking out. But yeah, just admit impatient.
Speaker 4: And that's with a fair better of other stuff as well.
Speaker 4: And I don't know, but yeah, working on it.
Speaker 1: And so why do you think it's not desirable to
Speaker 1: be impatient?
Speaker 4: I think that if you're fully patient, you're at peace
Speaker 4: in my head and you're just in zen and you're
Speaker 4: just nothing's going to bother you, and yeah, you're in
Speaker 4: a peaceful state.
Speaker 1: And it's almost like a state of surrender, like a
Speaker 1: state of like whatever will be will be. And how yeah,
Speaker 1: like how freeing that is to be in that state
Speaker 1: rather than needs to be this way.
Speaker 3: Oh, you know a lot about this, Jorde.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: I've never experienced it is exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I wonder where we get it from.
Speaker 4: I wonder what about you, George. It's your least desirable trait?
Speaker 4: Why is this not desirable?
Speaker 1: I don't think of any.
Speaker 3: You can't covy me. You want me to tell you.
Speaker 1: I am. I would love for you to talk to
Speaker 1: me about it, but I'm going to go first and
Speaker 1: then you can and then we'll discuss this after. I
Speaker 1: think mine would be that I am. I can be
Speaker 1: a control freak, so I can be very you know,
Speaker 1: it is the It's like, on one side, it has
Speaker 1: made me a very driven person and a very successful
Speaker 1: person because I am like so driven and laser focus.
Speaker 1: But then the shadow side is very like I can
Speaker 1: be controlling and I can not let anyone be able
Speaker 1: to help me or see things a different way, and
Speaker 1: it's like it has to be this way otherwise nothing.
Speaker 1: And obviously it can be undesiring because one around me
Speaker 1: is feeling controls.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Which obviously is not a nice feeling. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's probably probably my most yet undesirable What would you
Speaker 1: what would you say?
Speaker 3: Well, why is it not desirable?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: I think yeah, like if others around you always feel controlled,
Speaker 1: you know, they don't feel supported or seen.
Speaker 4: Mmmmm, yeah, they don't feel like they have the control
Speaker 4: and they can do what they want and express their
Speaker 4: feelings because they just want to please you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, doesn't sound like experienced.
Speaker 4: You were very strong when we first started, but I
Speaker 4: feel like you have worked on that a lot and
Speaker 4: where you are right now, which it's yeah, taking you
Speaker 4: a bit, you.
Speaker 3: Are actually really good. I must say. I think you're
Speaker 3: a lot better.
Speaker 1: I've been trying. I've been really trying to work on.
Speaker 4: This, Like it's not that bad, but yeah, you just
Speaker 4: kind of get over stuff eventually with experience, but then
Speaker 4: now it's very good.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Any other undesirable traits I have that you
Speaker 1: can think of.
Speaker 4: Impatient one another one the same as me.
Speaker 1: I am pretty much. We had that conversation this morning.
Speaker 4: I don't know the controlling you're very controlling. Yeah it's
Speaker 4: a good one, but like, yeah, it's benefited you massively,
Speaker 4: so I would.
Speaker 1: Say it's a blessing and a curse.
Speaker 4: Yea.
Speaker 3: All right? Go next? What are your values as.
Speaker 1: A human as opposed to an animal?
Speaker 3: Who wrote these? Jamie?
Speaker 1: I actually did my values the other day, so let's
Speaker 1: go through them. So my values.
Speaker 4: From the start your most important down to your least important.
Speaker 1: So you want me to rank them?
Speaker 3: They should be ranked here? I reckon, Okay.
Speaker 1: I think something that has always taken precedent in my
Speaker 1: life or like just always been the highest is my
Speaker 1: value of my purpose that like my purpose all also
Speaker 1: happens to be my career.
Speaker 3: Fancy that which is quinit eazy.
Speaker 1: So that I'm not gonna lie. That's always kind of
Speaker 1: been my first And it's like, what is it my
Speaker 1: purpose to help women see like to help women be
Speaker 1: authentically themselves and to see like what they can truly
Speaker 1: have to really see themselves?
Speaker 3: Which would do want for a woman? Empower them?
Speaker 4: That's like what you preach it always where are you
Speaker 4: going with this?
Speaker 3: A women to stand up and yes.
Speaker 1: Yes, empowering women to like be their authentic self to
Speaker 1: go after what they want. But that's also my career,
Speaker 1: so that's kind of like my first value. My second
Speaker 1: value is family like Tim and ivy yep. My third
Speaker 1: value is self care time like me time where I'm
Speaker 1: filling up my cup, and then it goes to wellness.
Speaker 1: Wellness is such a huge value for me. And then
Speaker 1: my last value is integrity. Integrity, Yeah, it's always been
Speaker 1: something blame well. Very much like if I say I'm
Speaker 1: going to do something, I do it what I believe in.
Speaker 1: I believe in wholeheartedly, and you know, like I trust
Speaker 1: myself and I move forward even if outside people are
Speaker 1: saying other things. It's like just being integral with like
Speaker 1: who I am no matter what, and that's always something
Speaker 1: that's like that word has always stuck with me and
Speaker 1: just being a huge like yeah, that is a value
Speaker 1: of mine.
Speaker 3: Nice, I like it. There's some good values.
Speaker 1: But in saying that, like since actually doing the exercise
Speaker 1: of doing values, and we could even do a podcast
Speaker 1: at some point going through like how you come up
Speaker 1: with your values, you'd probably be really great to do
Speaker 1: that podcast giver. Yeah, like I did, And it was
Speaker 1: just like I'm being very transparent and like vulnerable with
Speaker 1: you guys, of like I do want family to be
Speaker 1: my first one, not my second one. And that's just
Speaker 1: me being really honest of like where I am at
Speaker 1: the moment. So that's actually like kind of a goal
Speaker 1: I have of like shifting those first two because it's
Speaker 1: like I want to get to a place where it's
Speaker 1: like that's yeah, that's the first value that I prioritize
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 3: That's cool.
Speaker 4: I do like to say your values can change, even
Speaker 4: your purpose can change. Like everything evolves and changes, and
Speaker 4: it's it's okay to change them. Yeah, So I think
Speaker 4: it's a big thing to know that, And yeah, you're
Speaker 4: on a cool journey.
Speaker 3: And she goes changes.
Speaker 1: Shit changes, last words, shit happens. Guys. What about you?
Speaker 1: What are your values as a human.
Speaker 4: Well as a human. Glad we clarified that, all right.
Speaker 4: So I go from the top, and my top is
Speaker 4: my wife. My wife is everything to me. She's my
Speaker 4: best friend. We do everything together. She is my biggest
Speaker 4: support person. She we just have too much fun together
Speaker 4: and we always laugh and us whenever I have something,
Speaker 4: I got to talk to her, and yeah, and I
Speaker 4: do have a few of those people, but yeah, so
Speaker 4: she's number one. My next and the next one is
Speaker 4: my kids. And I did have my kids at number one,
Speaker 4: but it just wasn't sitting well. Because when I'm good
Speaker 4: with my wife, then my kids get my best self.
Speaker 4: So that's why my wife's at the top.
Speaker 1: And then happy wife, happy life.
Speaker 3: No, we're egal.
Speaker 4: Definitely has a lot of power in some most areas,
Speaker 4: but I got a few. But yeah, So then the
Speaker 4: second one is my kids. So I like to I
Speaker 4: think I have spoken on the podcast about this, which
Speaker 4: you probably haven't listened to my podcast, but anyway.
Speaker 1: Do you listen to all my.
Speaker 3: Yes, so my kids.
Speaker 4: So I like to work whenever I got a big
Speaker 4: decision in my life, I like to work down through
Speaker 4: my values and make sure each one's ticked off in
Speaker 4: that manner. And that's just kind of how I work
Speaker 4: in my head logically. So then yeah, it goes my kids,
Speaker 4: all three of them, they're all equal. And then after
Speaker 4: that is at the moment helping people in a way
Speaker 4: of gaining knowledge. So I'm getting a bit of fabit
Speaker 4: of passion towards gaining knowledge around like the psychology of
Speaker 4: the way we all act and the way our feelings
Speaker 4: come up and how we process them and what that
Speaker 4: sort of thing, like how that happens in your life.
Speaker 4: And that has sparked up with my coach.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what.
Speaker 4: Glim, so yeah, I like what he does and it's
Speaker 4: really cool. So after that is like you said, well,
Speaker 4: like boldness, health and challenging my body, like always looking
Speaker 4: to have nice foods and we all have splurges, and
Speaker 4: I think that's very good to have those things.
Speaker 3: And it's I'm at a good point.
Speaker 4: Where I'm having more healthy foods that if I have
Speaker 4: something bad, oh my god, it gets me so good.
Speaker 3: I just feels.
Speaker 1: I'm going to give a very sensitive system. Though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's getting more sensitive because I'm going more healthy
Speaker 4: because I'm not used to it.
Speaker 3: So that's like it's good.
Speaker 4: And then yeah, always exercising and challenging my body, so
Speaker 4: doing ice baths, acupuncture mats and doing hot yogurt gym
Speaker 4: and sports stuff and I don't know, it's always challenging
Speaker 4: my body and my mind. Yeah, and then there's one more,
Speaker 4: but I always forget it for some reason my businesses
Speaker 4: and Georgia is a big value, so that hand in hand.
Speaker 1: I love that my career was first and yours is last.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm in a different journey, the very interesting like
Speaker 4: you might get there if you had more kids and
Speaker 4: you get to that point, but you might not.
Speaker 3: Who knows, who knows, she changes, she changes. That was
Speaker 3: a very long answer.
Speaker 1: Sorry, next card, I'm going to ask you this in
Speaker 1: two separate questions, so you've got to answer the first
Speaker 1: one and the I'm going to ask you a lead
Speaker 1: up question. Okay, name someone else who inspires you?
Speaker 3: How many people?
Speaker 1: One person?
Speaker 3: My life coach? My coach at the moment?
Speaker 1: Why does he inspire you with.
Speaker 4: His knowledge and what he's doing to help people has
Speaker 4: changed my life but also change my perspective on the world.
Speaker 3: And it's really cool.
Speaker 1: And what makes you different from him?
Speaker 4: Probably like a foot, he's really too bluddy jokes do comedian?
Speaker 3: Truthfully is knowledge?
Speaker 4: So I would like to gain his knowledge for sure,
Speaker 4: Like that's what really inspires me of what he's got.
Speaker 4: Love that, Georgia, Name someone else who inspires you?
Speaker 3: Two part question, like I don't.
Speaker 1: Know what's coming that I've got another sneaky question who
Speaker 1: inspires me? I honestly would have to say you right now.
Speaker 1: I feel like at the moment, yeah, like you're someone
Speaker 1: who very much inspires me with your openness to see
Speaker 1: things differently and like have so much self awareness and
Speaker 1: really like you've been putting in so much work with
Speaker 1: your family and you know ash like you said, your
Speaker 1: wife's your best friend, and really exploring this other part
Speaker 1: of yourself where you are gaining more knowledge and doing
Speaker 1: things outside the box. And it's something that like not
Speaker 1: a lot of people do, and it's really inspiring because
Speaker 1: you're just doing life differently, and I love when people
Speaker 1: do life differently.
Speaker 3: Correct. Thanks, I did not expect that.
Speaker 1: My heart was kind of racing it really, like what
Speaker 1: is she gonna say?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 4: I was thinking who you would inspire At the moment,
Speaker 4: I was just trying to think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I can think of.
Speaker 3: It's beautiful. Thanks.
Speaker 1: What's of all?
Speaker 4: Because when I said it, I had my coach, but
Speaker 4: it was two people.
Speaker 3: It was you as well.
Speaker 1: Guys.
Speaker 3: I wanted to say to people, well you didn't.
Speaker 1: I know, I'll remember that.
Speaker 3: What makes you different from your brother?
Speaker 1: Your brother that inspires me? Well, I guess it's like
Speaker 1: I do tend to. It's really interesting because I'm a
Speaker 1: bit contradicting of like, you know, I preach a lot
Speaker 1: about you know, draw outside the lines, you don't have
Speaker 1: to fit yourself in a box. And I have done
Speaker 1: that in a lot of ways, you know, in my
Speaker 1: career and what I believe. But then in other ways
Speaker 1: I have very much put myself in a box. So
Speaker 1: even you know, with your open minded thinking and doing
Speaker 1: things differently and being open to that, that's really what
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, that's something that I want to strengthen
Speaker 1: in myself of being more open to change, being more
Speaker 1: open to Like I find that you do surrender really
Speaker 1: well too, and that's like I'd love to be able
Speaker 1: to like surrender and m yeah that kind of instet.
Speaker 4: Yeah really cool, Like you want to do that, but
Speaker 4: you're doing it. Yeah, but it's really cool to see
Speaker 4: and watch and it's yeah, but it's good that you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I keep going.
Speaker 1: But I love how you're just like you just do
Speaker 1: life on your own terms, and you're just like I don't,
Speaker 1: I just focus on me. I do me, and you're
Speaker 1: just like not too worried, and you're like I just
Speaker 1: know it will work out. I'm like, whoa, whah, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 3: You need a plan.
Speaker 1: We need a plan, and we need lots of control,
Speaker 1: and we can't trust anyone.
Speaker 3: I know. Another one of mine is I trust people
Speaker 3: too much. You are very too easily, and I like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you are.
Speaker 4: But it's it works both ways because if you're trusting,
Speaker 4: you gain really trusting relationships. But if you're not trusting,
Speaker 4: then you don't gain it. But then you don't get
Speaker 4: hurt as much I would get hurt. So there's zoea
Speaker 4: yeah too, sweets.
Speaker 1: But isn't that interesting how we are very opposite with that,
Speaker 1: Like you are very trusting and you do you're able
Speaker 1: to like open your herd and be you know fully,
Speaker 1: like really be in your emotions and all the things.
Speaker 1: And then like I'm actually quite closed off and like
Speaker 1: not that I'm not trusting, but I'm very guarded. Like
Speaker 1: I'm very like now you have to like prove to
Speaker 1: me you'll die for me before I trust you kind
Speaker 1: of thing. But you know, like there is, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: are a little bit opposite with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that works very well in business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is it's interesting, all.
Speaker 4: Right, so the last question, what's keeping you from living
Speaker 4: your dream life?
Speaker 1: I really feel like I am living my dream life.
Speaker 1: There is so many aspects that of one hundred percent
Speaker 1: I'm living my dream life. The thing that sparked up
Speaker 1: when you said that was almost it's probably because we're
Speaker 1: just talking about it, but it is how guarded I
Speaker 1: can be, how I don't let myself sometimes feel full
Speaker 1: emotions and be fully like in emotions and fully like
Speaker 1: open my heart. And it's and that's obviously you know,
Speaker 1: shit I've got to get into. But it's like deep, yeah,
Speaker 1: and see that has always that has actually benefited me
Speaker 1: because it's the reason why I've been able to move
Speaker 1: so quickly, because it's like I'm just like onto the
Speaker 1: next thing?
Speaker 3: Do do do?
Speaker 1: I've like got such a disciplined nature. But then it
Speaker 1: does have the full back of like not feeling into
Speaker 1: things fully, not being able to be present, not being
Speaker 1: able to like fully just be like embodied in the
Speaker 1: moment and satisfied with the moment and who I am
Speaker 1: in the moment. I do have this like absolutely driving nature.
Speaker 1: And so that's even something that I'm like, well, like
Speaker 1: I do have my dream life, and so many things,
Speaker 1: but there is a part of me that I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I think this is something I now need to explore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So like I guess, like being less guarded, being
Speaker 1: more in my emotions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like we kind of we are the
Speaker 4: same with that, and we don't stop to celebrate stuff,
Speaker 4: and once we tick off a milestone or something, it's like,
Speaker 4: all right, we'll snacks. Like I always find it. I
Speaker 4: don't know if you, I know you kind of do
Speaker 4: a bit. But I always think when I hit a
Speaker 4: big milestone, it's like, how it's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, it's well, I think.
Speaker 3: Don't sit it and be like, oh my god, but.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna bring something in Cooper. It's like,
Speaker 1: are you supposed to get this big overwhelming feeling? For me,
Speaker 1: I way prefer the journey of achieving something Like I
Speaker 1: love like not the hustle, because it doesn't always have
Speaker 1: to be a hustle, but I love like the challenges me,
Speaker 1: you know, going through the challenges and like finding a
Speaker 1: new me in them and finding these reasons and developing
Speaker 1: skills and like going through the hurdles. I find the
Speaker 1: enjoyment in that so much more than the actual final moment,
Speaker 1: and I think that's why that's what it is. Sometimes
Speaker 1: when you don't get that feeling in the final moment,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it because I'm like, well, I enjoyed
Speaker 1: the journey so much.
Speaker 3: I never thought of it in that way.
Speaker 4: That's why we don't just think I want another goal,
Speaker 4: because the journey is the best part.
Speaker 1: I used to kind of put myself down for that
Speaker 1: also because I was like, why can't I just fucking
Speaker 1: be happy and celebrate myself because people always like, could
Speaker 1: do you celebrate yourself? Blah blah blah, And I think
Speaker 1: one hundred percent you should. But that's what I came
Speaker 1: to terms was of like, well, I actually just really
Speaker 1: love the feelings when I'm in it, and I enjoyed
Speaker 1: the whole process, so I think it's okay. I'm not
Speaker 1: going off the track there, but yeah, a little bit,
Speaker 1: but like this, this is what the cards do, and
Speaker 1: I love this. Just told I told you guys one
Speaker 1: of my deepest darkness secrets. So what about you? What's
Speaker 1: keeping you from living your dream life?
Speaker 3: It's definitely myself.
Speaker 4: I do think to myself that I if I have
Speaker 4: enough money, I would be happy and I have gained
Speaker 4: like I picked that up from my childhood and just
Speaker 4: where we've come from. And if you have money, you'll
Speaker 4: be happy. And it's I feel like that, but you're just.
Speaker 1: Using this as an example of like people think I
Speaker 1: need this and then I'll feel this way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like now I'm discovering, Yeah, like it's money
Speaker 4: really doesn't give you happiness.
Speaker 3: It's it's fun and it's.
Speaker 4: Enjoyable, but you're still left with.
Speaker 3: Like not true happiness.
Speaker 4: And then that's why I have gone deeper with the
Speaker 4: knowledge I want to gain and doing this stuff of
Speaker 4: my coach and going that to that next level. And yeah,
Speaker 4: very similar to you of finding myself more and yeah,
Speaker 4: like I'm a lot more present with my kids at
Speaker 4: the moment and I can I can just sit there
Speaker 4: and be in the moment and I just like, I
Speaker 4: just feel so happy in abundance that I'm just there
Speaker 4: watching them and I'm enjoying it because I struggle to
Speaker 4: do that a little while go. So it is still
Speaker 4: a little bit there and I'm just trying to figure
Speaker 4: it out at the moment, but just to be yeah,
Speaker 4: just fall that peace and I don't know kind of
Speaker 4: experience more things because I am stuck in just our
Speaker 4: society and what we are trained to do. And I
Speaker 4: know that there's a completely different life that you can
Speaker 4: have full of happiness. And that's my journey at the moment.
Speaker 4: That's kind of stopping me from That's where I want
Speaker 4: to get to. That's my dream is just to be
Speaker 4: happy in like that doesn't say I'm not happy right now,
Speaker 4: Like I am so happy, but there's still just something
Speaker 4: there that but like that's the journey because I want
Speaker 4: I don't want that to ever stop in a way,
Speaker 4: because you'll keep looking for more happiness and and.
Speaker 3: Not the material things and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4: So I have been challenging myself with that at the moment,
Speaker 4: like with my current stuff, I just I want to
Speaker 4: enjoy life more.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I love that because I think what I
Speaker 1: kind of pulled from that is, you know, sometimes, like
Speaker 1: you said, it's like we are the person. We are
Speaker 1: the person, we are the thing that is stopping us
Speaker 1: from living our dream life because of the beliefs we have,
Speaker 1: because of we think it needs to be this way.
Speaker 1: And then I'll be happy, you know, and unpacking and
Speaker 1: exploring that and again like you said, this is like
Speaker 1: a life journey, so you will absolutely go to explore it.
Speaker 1: But it's so interesting too what you're brought up of.
Speaker 1: We believe it has to be a certain way because
Speaker 1: that's what society has taught us. And unlearning those things
Speaker 1: and you know, this is really what we talk a
Speaker 1: lot about in you know, the Project and rebirth and
Speaker 1: stuff of like well what actually feels good to you
Speaker 1: and what actually do you want to do and what
Speaker 1: actually do you want to do with your family and
Speaker 1: how do you actually want to show up and all
Speaker 1: these things that It's funny most of us haven't actually
Speaker 1: asked ourselves because we're just almost given this print out
Speaker 1: of like, well, this is how life should go, and
Speaker 1: this is how life should be and this is how
Speaker 1: you should feel. And then it's like this rat race
Speaker 1: of like constantly chasing these things. But it's like is
Speaker 1: that actually for you? Is that what you're actually seeking?
Speaker 3: Love it? Yeah, yep, exactly. We have some fun we
Speaker 3: can talk.
Speaker 1: I know, Cooper, that was so much fun.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Jod always says.
Speaker 1: I never know if you like being psychastic or not.
Speaker 3: You ways, just make me answer like this one. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and you're expecting a big line.
Speaker 1: I'm not a expect to anything good.
Speaker 3: How was that just your protection? Pretty good? Good?
Speaker 1: All right, guys. Just a taste of the deep conversations
Speaker 1: and connections you can have with the Magic of Discovering
Speaker 1: your Self Connection cards. If you want to have this conversation,
Speaker 1: you know, with your partner, your sibling, your friend's family,
Speaker 1: or even journal yourself, grab the cards. It's honestly, like,
Speaker 1: how feel the magic?
Speaker 4: Like when you get into a deep conversation, that's when
Speaker 4: stuff happens, that's when energy flows and you feel a
Speaker 4: lot more than surface level questions.
Speaker 3: And I do love Jorda for.
Speaker 4: That deep questions really, I love it in our family
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 3: It's awesome.
Speaker 4: But yeah, gets some gets the blood flowing, and yeah,
Speaker 4: it's awesome.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: I think like connection really is what we're all chasing,
Speaker 1: like love and connection, and these cards are such a
Speaker 1: beautiful way to like bring that with people you love.
Speaker 1: And it's just really funny.
Speaker 4: It's interesting even if it's usually awkward, but stuff comes up.
Speaker 4: You say the awkward questions and even to someone that's
Speaker 4: really surface level and it stumps them, but then you
Speaker 4: keep asking and yeah, and A good thing I always
Speaker 4: like to say, and I have said this on here
Speaker 4: as well, is always ask why at the end when
Speaker 4: they say something, to say, oh.
Speaker 3: Why why do you feel like that? Why do you
Speaker 3: do that?
Speaker 4: Because everyone has a different perspective on everything, so it's
Speaker 4: always good to learn from other people's stuff, not put
Speaker 4: your judgment on them and what you think of stuff,
Speaker 4: because yeah, why not learn?
Speaker 3: Like it's always all these books.
Speaker 4: I listen to is always they're always saying just sit
Speaker 4: there and listen and you'll gain so much more knowledge
Speaker 4: because why would you want to tell everyone what you know,
Speaker 4: because you're not going to gain anything. Appointments remembered on
Speaker 4: but yeah.
Speaker 1: I digress. See this is what happens.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 1: No, that was beautiful. Guys. Thank you so much for listening. Bye,
