I went away for my 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:23.440 thirtieth and I feel like it's that whole thing when 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.520 you finally relax your body, you know, all the stuff 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.760 comes up. So I'm fighting away a cough I actually. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.160 Physically feel fine. 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.800 I just sound like this, but I was thinking this 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.120 morning of tea, I have been sick quite a bit 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.319 this year, me too, and I'm like, h this is interesting. 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.319 I probably need to like look into this a bit more. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.680 It's usually a sign that you're not looking after yourself, 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.880 so I'm like, I probably, yeah, need to take care 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.880 of myself a little bit more. But today's episode is 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.000 super fun. It's the moments I thought my life was ending, 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:04.240 that something better, okay, And pretty much I just wanted 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.640 to give you a whole bunch of expanded stories of 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.840 yeah when like some reallycky, really not great times were 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.760 happening in my life, and how beautiful hindsight is. Now 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.400 I can see how much they blossomed me into who 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.160 I am, and I just find these stories are so 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.800 helpful if you're currently going through a really tough time, 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.840 Because if I truly believe our superpower is like if 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.320 we can bounce back, because life is going to constantly 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.880 throw things our way that we think aren't happening for us, 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.360 but if we can bounce back, if we can be like, no, 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.200 this is happening for us, I honestly feel like that's 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.840 like the Secret to Life. Hmmm, like that's bold, but 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:49.519 the Secret to life. 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:50.080 Yeah. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.680 So I hope you enjoyed these And before we get 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.320 into it, our weekly recommendation City Ya, Yes, I have two. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.839 My first one is Lust actually have brought back their 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.160 beauty school and they are only charging a. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:05.920 Dollar to get in. 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.040 And this shout out isn't sponsored they have sponsored the 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.880 podcast before, but the dollars also being donated to a charity, 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.440 and I honestly could not recommend the education content enough, 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.520 let alone the fact that it's also all going to charity. 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.880 We love last We do so highly recommend that. And 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:28.720 my second wreck is a book called The First ninety 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:34.160 Days Ooh by Michael D. Watkins, And essentially it's based 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:38.040 on the concept of when a US president gets elected, 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.960 they technically have what they call the first hundred days, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.240 and you have to like make your impact and start 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.680 most of your projects in that first hundred days. And 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.720 his concept is like, when you have a career transition 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.880 or you're starting something new, you have ninety days to 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.640 prove yourself and what you're doing that ninety days is 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.480 the catalyst for everything after. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.000 So that's my wreck. It's such a good reason. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.360 It is like a bit of a heavier book, so 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.320 I'd probably recommend reading it, not listening to it, because 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.800 I did try to listen and struggled. Yeah, but really 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:09.520 really interesting. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.840 I love that. What about you? So I have two. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.279 My first is like a bit of a spicy book 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.400 we love, which we love. Let me just get my 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:21.080 kindle out. 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:22.520 It's called So. 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.039 Our graphic designer Michayla actually recommended this to me and 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.160 she's like, look, if you just want like a. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:34.800 Easy to read, you know the books. So it is 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:35.440 a fantasy. 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:40.520 It's called The Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac series by 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:48.760 Caroline Peckham, and basically the main character, her brother dies 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.920 in this academy and the academy is like full of 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.040 like Fay with all different powers lum and so her 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.000 brother dies and she's like her brother's her best friend. 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:05.279 So she actually becomes a student of that academy to 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.800 like investigate because it says he overdosed, but she's like, 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.080 he would never do drugs. He They've just got such 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.320 a like beautiful bond. So she goes into this academy 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.960 to like investigate his murder and there's there's these four 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.880 boys called the Four Kings, and each of them is 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:30.279 like a suspect, but also she's kind of attracted to everyone. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.080 And it's this whole thing. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.000 So it's like, I love a murder mystery, but the 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.040 fact that I love a murder mystery, I love a 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.760 murder mystery, and the fact that it's like fay and 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.400 fantasy was just so fun. That is there's definitely a 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.599 bit of spice, but not a lot. Okay, it's like 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.920 and nothing. Yeah, I wouldn't say it's a five chili. 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.359 Or anything like that. I'd say it's like a two. Yeah. 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.120 So that's just a bit of fun reading that on 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.920 my holiday. But if you want something that's really deep, 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.840 like really mind boggling, I listened to this episode and 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.000 I'll get t T to link it. It's the podcast 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:09.000 is Know Thyself, which I've never heard of before. It 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.640 got recommended to me on TikTok. So it's doctor Zach 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:19.080 Bush healing the root cause of disease by awakening our 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:24.520 biology of light. Honestly, I had to listen to it twice. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.800 Wow, Like it's one of those where you're. 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.840 Like you're kind of understanding it, but you're not. And 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.560 he uses he's a scientist and a doctor, so he's 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.560 using these really big words. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.640 But I'm like, I know what that means. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.400 But the fact that you're putting in this sentence with 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.080 six other big words, I'm like trying to. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.440 Let you I can only understand one big word person. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:49.160 Literally, But it's really interesting. Basically he talks about disease 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.560 and like the root cause basically it's starting from. 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.559 Our food, the earth. How we've fucked up the earth. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.640 Wow. But then he talks about like the like how 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.720 how there's hope and how we can change things, and 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.359 it's so crazy because he's this doctor and scientists, but 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.680 also like he talks a lot about manifestation. He talks 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.960 about how we're bodies of light. Like it's the most scientific. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:21.000 But the work the Spiritual Podcast, I honestly I'm obsessed 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:21.240 with it. 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.120 Guys, like, listen to it. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:28.040 It does go for like two hours, but it's so good. 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.800 You have to listen to it. You have to listen 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.840 to the whole way through and then listen to it again. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:37.280 It's wild. It's really wild, but it made sense to me. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.480 It's like a remembering where I was like, oh my god, 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:41.960 you're speaking such truth. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.600 But I don't know. I just was obsessed with that. 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.560 Oh, make sure to link it and maybe we'll pop 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.840 up a thread in Facebook people can comment on safely. 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.440 Yeah, because it was like I was really like, am 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.240 I grasping this? And I got Tim to listen to 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.040 it too, and he really liked it. Love. 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.040 Yeah, So anyway, they're the res. 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:07.760 Enjoy this episode and we'll see you in the next one. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:09.800 All right, my loves. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:14.320 This is just to remind you that life is happening 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.360 for you and in the moments that everything is going 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.600 to shit and things aren't working out and. 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.080 It's not the plan and it's not. 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.760 How it's so supposed to be, that everything is actually 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:30.640 working out perfectly, and if it's happening anyway, ken like 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.040 this is the biggest hack. Can you enjoy the journey 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.720 if you can almost bypass the pain? 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:39.199 And I truly. 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.840 Believe we don't actually have to go through it, Like, 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:46.640 if you can bypass the pain and actually be like, oh, 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.440 I don't actually have to go on victim mentality, I 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.480 don't actually have to be in a low vibration. Could 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.120 I believe this is actually happening for me? Imagine that person, 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.400 Imagine her just like floating through life, never being phased, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.680 never being phased. And again, it's not about not feeling 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.880 your feelings. Absolutely feel them, have those initial moments. But 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.480 I truly believe like the bounce back rate for you, 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.280 getting back on the vibration of the frequency you want 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.080 is the most important thing, because the how question is 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.680 always how do I get on the frequency of what 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.920 I want? So if you can have a really amazing 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:30.520 bounce back rate, your life will be so incredible. And again, 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.480 you like those people who are just unphased and they 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:38.000 just like, cool, let's go, let's pivot. They like you 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.199 see those people and you're like, oh my god, goals incredible, 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.720 and you also get to be that person. So I'm 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.000 just gonna go through a couple of instances in my 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.480 life where I literally thought my life was ending and 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.599 how it turned out better than I could have imagined. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.520 And so I truly believe story is the most powerful 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:01.719 thing to use. So I hope you can connect and resonate. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.200 If you're listening to this, you probably are going through 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:05.840 a bit of a hard time. I just I am 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:10.000 sending so much love, but just know that time heals all, 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.480 and it does get to be better and it does get. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:14.720 To get better. Okay. 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:19.600 So first instance, so there was a moment in my 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:24.640 business where I had a key team member leave because 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.319 of family circumstances, and you know, it was quite abrupt 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:33.679 and I really love, you know, loved this person. They 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.240 were such a key part of the business and it 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.080 was such a moment where I was like, oh my god, 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:40.280 what does this mean? 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:41.640 What am I going to do? 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.960 What does this mean for the business? All those sorts 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:49.360 of things, and obviously just personally too. So that was 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:54.559 such a moment where I really could have been victim mentality, 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:55.360 Oh my god. 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:56.559 What am I going to do? Whatnot? 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.480 But again, adapting life happens for me. I'm going to 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.480 get through this. It's gonna be better than I could 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.920 have imagined. So the really, now that I can and 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.079 obviously hindsight is beautiful, but now that I can look back, 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:14.160 it was such an incredible shift in team dynamic. It 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:19.440 really helped other team members step up and rise and 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.360 really step into themselves. 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.160 It also there was then room. 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:27.400 For new people to come in the business who had 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.960 you know, incredible skills that were needed for the next 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.920 evolution of the business. Like you know, the you know, Yeah, 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.840 skills that we didn't have before, and it was able 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:44.880 to really shift the business into rapid growth and doing 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.720 things a way that we hadn't done things. And I 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.200 really feel like now I can really see it's like 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:54.280 such a key moment in the business, almost coming out 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:58.760 of its infancy and like not being a small business anymore. Yeah, 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:03.680 and needing that you know, bigger team, needing that growth 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:08.120 and evolution and for things not to be done like 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:12.240 a small business. And I needed the snap. I needed 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.200 the Okay, I can't treat the business. I've always treated it. 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:16.199 What am I gonna do? 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.120 How am I gonna lead? And I even feel like 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:20.520 it really. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:24.720 Helped my creativity, It really helped my leadership skills, and 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.920 I really felt like it helped my connection to the business. 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.079 And so it really was a shitty time and situation 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.080 and circumstance, like there's no other words for it, But 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.680 now I can see how not incredible it is, because 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.720 I don't want to discount it being a shitty time, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.680 but it's like it was necessary for the next stage 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:46.040 I see. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:46.840 I don't even want. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.600 To say the words necessary, but it's like it ended 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.160 up being amazing. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:52.760 It ended up being credible. 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.560 It ended up being like such a key shift in 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.320 the business, in me, in the team and all those 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.640 sorts of things, and it really I was like, wow, 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:01.960 it turned out better than I could. 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.360 Have imagined that, you know. I mean, even though it 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.320 was a bit rough there for a while. Yeah, and 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:06.960 I was like. 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:13.880 Ah, Okay, life's fine, this is amazing, and now yeah, 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.600 I can really I can really see like those key. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:22.760 Moments and I'm like, oh wow, I don't know, I'm 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.640 laughing for I'm just. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.439 Laughing because it's like, you really think trauma respond, you really. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.480 Think of scenting, You're like, it's fine, Okay. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:37.000 The next one was when I gave birth to Ivy 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:37.840 and then. 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:42.200 Tried to come back as a working mom. I remember 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:48.280 witnessing this. Honestly, it was what's it giving? I was giving, 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:49.120 like byfors. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.880 It wasn't even that. Georgie just felt like her creativity 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:55.720 was gone. She blamed it before it. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.400 I think we did an episode we did. I'm so sorry. 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.360 I feel this. I literally was like, my creativity's gone. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.320 She took it, and she took it. She took it, 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.200 and I can't be who I need to be. 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.520 And it was like what like an ill even think 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.640 about that belief, Like that's so limiting. I was such 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.080 a victim. I didn't take any responsibility. And also I 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.720 just didn't have any compassion for myself that it's like 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.560 you literally had a newborn at home. Yeah, like give 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.680 yourself some grace, mate. And again it's like I really 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.720 saw this as like I almost had this like weird 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.680 thing where I'm like, this is the end of my career. 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.880 Oh you did not know, but it's like a fleeting 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.000 thought of like, yeah, she's taken my creativity because I 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.880 really felt like it was, especially because when I was pregnant, 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.080 I fucking felt incredible. I felt vincall like I was 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.160 on such a high because I had wanted to be 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.840 pregnant so long. Got pregnant and remember I like did 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.680 those sponge of collabs. I was like I was just 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.560 like smashing life and I felt like such this huge high. 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.880 And then I you birth a baby and you have 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.000 to fully slow down, and I think it was just 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.560 like a whole bunch of just like you know, it's 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.880 just like a car crash, the whole bunch of things happening, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.360 and I really thought, oh my god, this is the 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.160 end of my creativity. I'm gonna have to change my 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.880 whole business, like all those sorts of things, and it 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.160 felt like, oh my god, my life's ending. Like this 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:27.760 is the worst case scenario, so dramatic, but in saying that, 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.000 it felt really real. 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.600 Like you saw me a tea, I was like, yeah, 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:31.480 a bit of a mess. 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:36.680 And the outcome is I before Ivy, I really didn't 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.120 have work life balance. No, I was a workaholic, but 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.120 I didn't think I was because I loved my work 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.400 so much that I was like, I didn't identify with it. 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.680 But now that I've had Ivy, I've never been so balanced. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.240 I've like, actually, you weren't even there, Tea. But like before. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.960 Ivy, I would be the first in and the last 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.520 person to leave this office, always whoa always, And so 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:00.840 having Ivy, I. 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:01.680 Couldn't do that anymore. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.040 So that I hadn't eve one at home. I think 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.920 I was even breastfeeding it one stage. And so it 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.440 created this beautiful For the first time in my life, 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.800 I actually had to create work life balance, and I 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.720 had to create those boundaries first. I had to create 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:19.360 those boundaries first, and then the creativity came. I just 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.760 had to reshift my life. I had to reshift how 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.480 I like I did it. But now that I do 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:28.360 life in this way where I've never worked a small 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:33.080 amount of hours, it felt so like I impact my 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.800 business so much. I have such an impact my you know, 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.320 the businesses have never earned so much. So I'm like, before, 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.920 I'm like, what the fuck was I doing? I was 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.440 like a bit, you know, almost like keeping yourself busy 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.000 just for the fact of being busy. 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.160 And obviously I was doing things. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.720 But now I have really learned how to you know, 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.520 ask for help, create boundaries, have work life balance, and 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.920 I truly believe when you have those times to rest, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.640 that's when the creativity comes out. If you're just doing 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.280 and doing doing, it's like how you're ever going to 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.199 be recharged. It's like, you know, my car, it's an 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.960 electric car. I have to charge it in the wall 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:09.200 and then it goes again. 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.440 It's like it's the and it needs time. It needs 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:16.480 time stations for two seconds. Yes, that's that's a big thing. 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.360 So that was such a key moment. And I have never, yeah, 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.679 been so balanced. I've had so much more structures in 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.080 my day. I'm so much more efficient and productive. I 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.000 feel like, I honestly feel like I have more time 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:35.360 for me as a working mom than I did before. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.639 I mean, which is wild to think about. Yeah, wow, 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.480 I used to work on weekends. Remember you still have 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.680 my podcast on the weekends, because I was like, that's 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.800 when I'm creative. And now you won't see me touch 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.159 work on the weekends unless I'm like thrown up a 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.879 story or saying that's that's fine, that's. 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:56.639 What a cool fun. So honestly, come generating fun. It 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:57.159 is what I do. 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.400 It's not my it's not my fault. I the money 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:08.439 lining to you, all right, Okay. The next moment I 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.479 thought my life was ending but turned up better than 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.800 I could have imagined, was when we lost our dream house. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:19.720 Oh yes, so that quick, quick, quick backstory. The house 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.879 we're in now, which is like she's like six levels, 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:29.479 she has water views, two pools, like a gym, like everything, like, 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.240 oh my god, Like I never thought I'd be living 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.840 in a house like this, just such an incredible sanctuary, 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:39.520 and like, oh I just can't dream house. I saw 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.960 this house on real estate dot com. 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:43.280 I looked in the. 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.720 Sold section of real estate dot Com. This house wasn't 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.280 even for sale. I looked in the sold section, saw 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.520 this house, fell in love with it and was like, 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.440 this is my house. Had such an energetic pool text. 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.760 The agent said, do you know if the sales the 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.520 buyers would want to sell. He's like, I'll message them, 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.280 and then he messaged me and was like, yeah, if 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:10.640 the price is right. So I did why So we 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:12.960 went over checked out the house. I was like, yes, 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.439 love it, definitely want to paint it some different colors, 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.600 but love. It came to an arrangement, agreed on a price, 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.720 it was all going through, and then two weeks later, 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.480 when we were supposed to sign the paperwork, he caught 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.280 up and the owners didn't want to sell anymore. The 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.280 wife was actually really attached to the house and she 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:30.480 was like, all, R, I don't want to sell it, 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:32.119 and I think there were some issues with the titles 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:32.560 or something. 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:34.760 And then I was. 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.840 Like, oh, that's like heartbreaking because it would have felt 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:38.520 so aligned. 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.440 It felt so aligned. 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:44.440 And the wild thing is we lived a suburb over 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:46.960 on the beach, not on the beach, but close to 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:51.199 the beach, and every beach walk I did, I actually 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.320 didn't realize, but I was looking at our house because 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:54.880 our house is. 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:55.280 On a hill. 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.320 So it's like everything told me we were meant to 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.040 be in this house, like energetically. And so when they 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.240 said they didn't want to sell, I was like what 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:05.760 why would you do this to me? Yes? 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:07.320 What do you mean? 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:13.600 And then yeah, wild, So I totally in that moment disconnected, detached, 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:17.320 and I was like, look, it's not meant to be, 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:20.399 but it's shown me how easy it gets to be. 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.760 How I know, like like physically in my body, like 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:28.240 somatically when it's a yes, how easy it is even 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.520 if the fucking house isn't for sale, I still get 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.440 it kind of vibes. Like I was like, this is 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:36.119 showing me so many lessons that I can take gratitude 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.040 from this even if it didn't eventuate, rather than being like, 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.040 oh my god, why would this happen to me? So 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:45.200 it completely detached two months later, So two months that's 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.200 a long time. I've even started like looking at other houses, 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.879 but nothing really came up. Two months later, they called 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.240 back up and were like they want to sell again, 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:58.320 Let's do the deal like this afternoon. It was a testy, 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.520 I know, but I learned so much and it's like, 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:05.320 what a cool story. 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.119 And like, so good of you to just like go 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.119 straight to the like at least I know what a 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.439 yes feels like. At least I know how easy it 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.600 gets to be, and like reaffirming like it's not. 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:19.280 Even listed and it's mine. Yes, Like it's not even available, 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:21.840 but it's still mine. That's when I was like, I'm 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:27.800 a master manifesto, do you know what I mean? Like, yeah, wow, 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:30.160 I'm actually really good at this. 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:33.679 And then so when what I say, you know, I'm like, oh, 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:34.520
