You think you understand me. You think you have an
2
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:10.369
inside point of view. Hey guys, welcome back to the
3
00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:14.509
Let Em Know podcast. This is Angela. And I feel
4
00:00:14.529 --> 00:00:21.350
like it has been a week. I am still... just
5
00:00:21.469 --> 00:00:25.460
in so much awe and amazement over the past couple
6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:30.079
episodes that I've had with my guests and the feedback
7
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:36.579
that I've been receiving from so many people, myself included, obviously.
8
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.420
I'm the one hosting the show. I'm the one asking
9
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:44.520
the questions. And I really feel like after last week's episode,
10
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.840
it really did unlock something in me to really want
11
00:00:47.869 --> 00:00:56.380
to Not that I'm not taking this podcast serious. Obviously,
12
00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:01.289
I do. But the level of conversations that I have
13
00:01:01.670 --> 00:01:05.359
that are not recorded and bringing that type of conversation
14
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.739
onto the mic is... exactly what I want the Let
15
00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:12.540
Em Know podcast to be. I think I've shared that
16
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.459
from the beginning, but it's just kind of one of
17
00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:18.000
those things, even going back to my conversations from a
18
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.900
couple of weeks ago, the episode with my friend Chaz,
19
00:01:21.099 --> 00:01:23.079
and we were kind of like talking about the fake
20
00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:27.620
it till you make it mentality. As someone who has
21
00:01:27.659 --> 00:01:32.340
been in the podcasting industry for five years, give or take,
22
00:01:33.329 --> 00:01:38.310
you don't always know exactly how things are going to go.
23
00:01:39.489 --> 00:01:42.870
You have your ideas of what you want your show
24
00:01:42.890 --> 00:01:45.150
to be about. This is what I'm doing in Everly
25
00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:51.170
when I'm helping new podcasters start their podcast journey. Starting
26
00:01:51.209 --> 00:01:53.870
at the bare bones of what it is that you
27
00:01:53.909 --> 00:01:56.310
want your show to be about and going through that
28
00:01:56.379 --> 00:01:59.719
creative process. And even as someone who has been behind
29
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.329
this mic for quite some time now, It still never
30
00:02:03.390 --> 00:02:07.650
ceases to amaze me that I sometimes get shocked at
31
00:02:08.009 --> 00:02:11.830
what ends up happening as opposed to what I feel
32
00:02:11.849 --> 00:02:17.580
I had. I never script my podcast, but yeah, that
33
00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:21.740
episode last week, I really learned a lot. I've had
34
00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:25.590
a lot of really great positive feedback. I have not
35
00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:31.080
heard of how listeners may have responded. I really hope
36
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.300
that people have been looking up Integrity Aid and making
37
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.750
donations if you feel so called to do so. But
38
00:02:40.349 --> 00:02:46.030
that was a really, really eye-opening conversation, lessons that I
39
00:02:46.069 --> 00:02:51.599
learned and things that are happening that I honestly didn't
40
00:02:51.819 --> 00:02:56.330
realize or maybe I've blatantly ignored to some level because
41
00:02:57.150 --> 00:02:59.930
that's human nature, I think, is that we find ourselves
42
00:02:59.990 --> 00:03:04.129
having conversations or not wanting to have conversations because they
43
00:03:04.169 --> 00:03:08.289
make us less uncomfortable. And that was one that I
44
00:03:08.330 --> 00:03:12.210
will not forget anytime soon. And I look forward to
45
00:03:12.349 --> 00:03:16.990
inviting both Arash and Rocky back onto the podcast in
46
00:03:17.009 --> 00:03:21.099
the future because I think that there's never... There's never
47
00:03:21.139 --> 00:03:25.340
a time that those types of conversations, people coming together
48
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:29.210
to help other people will happen, at least in my world.
49
00:03:29.310 --> 00:03:33.930
So thank you guys for sending your thoughts and feedback
50
00:03:33.969 --> 00:03:37.710
about that episode specifically. But just kind of where I
51
00:03:37.770 --> 00:03:41.629
wanted to set the tone for today and what is happening, right?
52
00:03:41.650 --> 00:03:44.729
Like I... I kind of go back and forth between
53
00:03:45.530 --> 00:03:49.069
solo episodes and having guests. I think I will always
54
00:03:49.129 --> 00:03:53.689
do that, but it's good to sometimes have the mic
55
00:03:53.729 --> 00:03:56.169
to myself because it gives me an opportunity to just
56
00:03:56.210 --> 00:04:00.520
kind of like talk about what I want to talk
57
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:08.139
about or what I feel like is important or the Yeah.
58
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:13.879
So I just celebrated my birthday, which I've not really
59
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.939
had an age where I thought like, oh my gosh,
60
00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:21.720
I remember turning 30 and being so freaked out by
61
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.160
the number 30, but then you kind of get over it.
62
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.279
And 40, I think was, it was big, but it
63
00:04:28.379 --> 00:04:30.699
happened during COVID. And I feel like that was just
64
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.110
such a weird time to be living in anyway. So
65
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.740
it didn't necessarily... make an impact or, you know, I
66
00:04:37.779 --> 00:04:43.500
didn't sweat about turning 40, but something about 45 guys.
67
00:04:43.579 --> 00:04:48.040
Like I, I don't know. I feel like I'm truly
68
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.689
in the prime of my life. This midlife version of
69
00:04:54.750 --> 00:05:00.470
me is really, it's really something. And it wasn't though
70
00:05:00.550 --> 00:05:03.029
until I think it was my mom had posted on
71
00:05:03.089 --> 00:05:07.899
her social media wishing me And I saw the numbers,
72
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.430
like 45, and I was like, what is she talking about? Like,
73
00:05:11.470 --> 00:05:13.810
who is she? I'm like, she has another daughter. I
74
00:05:13.810 --> 00:05:18.629
don't know why. 45 feels so wild to me, but
75
00:05:18.689 --> 00:05:21.649
it does. Here I am. You know, it's kind of
76
00:05:21.689 --> 00:05:25.959
like another year older, another year wiser. So I kind
77
00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:28.959
of have had a lot of these self-reflecting moments. And
78
00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:32.300
then again, like going back to the conversations and what
79
00:05:32.420 --> 00:05:36.550
has been happening on this podcast are just... Impacting me
80
00:05:36.709 --> 00:05:40.569
in ways that maybe I was prepared for. At least
81
00:05:40.649 --> 00:05:44.949
I hoped that I would be bringing that to the show.
82
00:05:44.980 --> 00:05:51.360
But there is something to be said about getting older,
83
00:05:51.379 --> 00:05:56.199
getting wiser, and starting to notice a lot of the
84
00:05:56.259 --> 00:05:58.769
things that are happening. So the one thing that I
85
00:05:58.790 --> 00:06:04.230
will say that's been so relevant and happening repeatedly is
86
00:06:05.259 --> 00:06:10.769
are these small moments, these synchronicities that are just undeniable
87
00:06:10.949 --> 00:06:14.189
at this point. And I cannot tell truly. I feel
88
00:06:14.209 --> 00:06:19.839
like I've talked about these moments throughout the course of
89
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.860
this podcast. More so now, though, I feel that I'm like,
90
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.459
what is happening? I was on the phone with my
91
00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:33.899
friend Chris earlier today, Chris Downing. I cannot wait for
92
00:06:33.939 --> 00:06:36.800
him to be on the podcast. Chris, I love you.
93
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.529
You are just such an inspiration for me in so
94
00:06:40.569 --> 00:06:45.399
many ways. But we were talking this morning, I had recently, so...
95
00:06:46.370 --> 00:06:48.029
you know, go big or go home. I feel like
96
00:06:48.089 --> 00:06:52.370
for the first part of this podcast, when it got
97
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:58.100
rebranded as the Let Them Know podcast, I was really going,
98
00:06:58.139 --> 00:07:00.579
I mean, we're all going through it, right? It's like
99
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.860
no day, no week, no month, wherever you find yourself.
100
00:07:04.899 --> 00:07:08.709
Like there's moments where things are like chill and you
101
00:07:08.730 --> 00:07:12.990
want to take those moments. Oh, I love those moments.
102
00:07:13.050 --> 00:07:17.970
Like present moment, being just in the present makes me
103
00:07:18.490 --> 00:07:23.720
smile bigger than maybe I ever do. With all things
104
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:28.120
that have happened, not just in my life, but in
105
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:34.199
the world. And yeah, I guess even thinking back to
106
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.600
2020 when I first started my podcast, The Focus Within,
107
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.660
and thinking about how much life has changed. But it
108
00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:45.360
happens quite often and frequently, at least in my world.
109
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:51.750
As you have witnessed throughout these first episodes of Let
110
00:07:51.810 --> 00:07:55.050
Em Know, I have gone through quite a few transitions
111
00:07:55.230 --> 00:08:01.350
with job, career, starting a business, learning how to do business,
112
00:08:01.910 --> 00:08:06.550
starting a new job. There's just always something happening. And
113
00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:13.250
I think, I think that I am really... enjoying it,
114
00:08:13.370 --> 00:08:18.149
if that makes sense. As much as we all have
115
00:08:19.170 --> 00:08:22.709
maybe at one point or another strived to have these
116
00:08:22.970 --> 00:08:26.110
slow seasons, and don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong
117
00:08:26.149 --> 00:08:31.519
with slow seasons, but I think my slow season lasted
118
00:08:31.660 --> 00:08:34.480
a little too long that when it hit me, when
119
00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:38.340
life hit me, it kind of threw me back off
120
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.809
my feet a little bit to put me in a
121
00:08:40.830 --> 00:08:43.289
little bit of a frenzy. And again, a lot of
122
00:08:43.330 --> 00:08:47.429
this could be more than the circumstances of my life,
123
00:08:47.690 --> 00:08:50.809
getting older, women's health, all of the things that I
124
00:08:50.929 --> 00:08:55.330
know are happening like internally for me. But anyways, back
125
00:08:55.370 --> 00:08:57.850
to my friend, Chris. So knowing all of that and
126
00:08:57.950 --> 00:09:00.190
kind of like these conversations that him and I have,
127
00:09:00.269 --> 00:09:04.580
he is a trainer and he has helped me in
128
00:09:05.250 --> 00:09:10.740
more ways than just physical transformation. Um, He was recently
129
00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:19.490
sharing about peptide therapy. And it's been maybe a year
130
00:09:19.669 --> 00:09:23.730
or two since I was on any type of real regimen.
131
00:09:23.809 --> 00:09:28.830
But I was prescribed by my doctor. Even if I
132
00:09:28.870 --> 00:09:31.370
wasn't prescribed by my doctor, I don't have any shame
133
00:09:31.409 --> 00:09:36.309
in it. But I did take semaglutide once. about two
134
00:09:36.370 --> 00:09:40.500
years ago. And again, I think I've had this ongoing
135
00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:45.519
battle with my hormones for longer than I've probably been
136
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:52.230
in perimenopause. But a lot of that kind of stuff
137
00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:55.389
can lead to other things. And so I've gone through
138
00:09:55.409 --> 00:10:01.710
this hormonal imbalance journey and my doctor has had recommended
139
00:10:01.730 --> 00:10:08.250
a semaglutide type of treatment, not just specifically for weight loss,
140
00:10:08.269 --> 00:10:10.769
but for all of the other good things that I
141
00:10:10.830 --> 00:10:13.149
think I have read now over the course of the
142
00:10:16.019 --> 00:10:19.919
It has changed so many people's lives. Again, not out
143
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.960
of just pure weight loss, but I know for my
144
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:28.870
own health journey in dealing with hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovarian syndrome,
145
00:10:30.549 --> 00:10:35.559
it really did help in some ways. doing whatever that
146
00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:38.500
did to my body to help regulate some of the
147
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.600
things that were happening. But it's not something that I
148
00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:44.830
think that you're supposed to be on forever. I kind of,
149
00:10:45.289 --> 00:10:49.990
with the transitions and jobs, have not had health insurance.
150
00:10:50.009 --> 00:10:53.710
So there's a lot of reasons why I did not
151
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:59.600
continue on with that method. But anyways, Chris was talking
152
00:10:59.960 --> 00:11:03.320
on his own social media platforms a lot lately about
153
00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:10.269
his own health journey and how he has helped so
154
00:11:10.429 --> 00:11:14.320
many people transform their physical bodies with his fitness programs
155
00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:15.740
and things of that nature. And I don't want to
156
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:17.720
get too deep into it because I want him to
157
00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:21.240
be able to share his story for himself with all
158
00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:24.419
of you. But he started talking about peptides and I
159
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.870
don't even want to have the conversation deep about peptides either.
160
00:11:28.009 --> 00:11:30.970
I just actually thought about it when I was preparing
161
00:11:31.049 --> 00:11:33.870
for this episode about all of the things that have
162
00:11:33.909 --> 00:11:37.950
happened over the last week since I recorded my last episode.
163
00:11:38.070 --> 00:11:41.759
And these podcasts, when they get recorded, I'm doing it
164
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.929
in real time I love my editor. I hope that
165
00:11:45.970 --> 00:11:49.669
they stay with me for as long as humanly possible
166
00:11:49.730 --> 00:11:54.429
because I am like, sorry, I have had a million
167
00:11:54.450 --> 00:11:56.850
and one things happening in my life and I'm just
168
00:11:56.889 --> 00:11:59.070
now getting ready to record and I need to have
169
00:11:59.110 --> 00:12:01.730
this done in less than 24 hours. They're amazing. But yeah, so...
170
00:12:10.769 --> 00:12:17.159
I recently started on this peptide regimen with my friend Chris,
171
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:19.659
who again, he will be on the show to talk
172
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:23.379
about it. But we had this conversation today and I
173
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.870
kind of decided after the conversation, I'm like, I feel
174
00:12:25.889 --> 00:12:28.029
like this podcast is going to be called Pep Talks
175
00:12:28.090 --> 00:12:30.929
and Peptides because I wanted it to be a mix
176
00:12:31.009 --> 00:12:34.129
of reflection of what has been happening on the show.
177
00:12:34.149 --> 00:12:39.080
I've had, like I said, some opportunities to have real
178
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.799
conversations with the people that have been on here. And
179
00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:44.220
I love that. And I also love being able to
180
00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:47.659
have a moment to reflect and then talk about what's
181
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:53.220
happening just from my own voice, right? So peptides and
182
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.120
or pep talks and peptides. It's so funny. It's like
183
00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.019
a tongue twister, but it was, it came to me
184
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.179
and I'm like, I'm going to go with it. Yeah.
185
00:13:02.210 --> 00:13:08.549
So just like this reflective moment of this time of
186
00:13:08.590 --> 00:13:10.409
year with it being my birthday. And then all of
187
00:13:10.450 --> 00:13:12.590
the things that I feel like are happening that feel
188
00:13:12.889 --> 00:13:19.529
so aligned, like these synchronicities that keep showing up and
189
00:13:19.549 --> 00:13:22.320
like this clarity that I've been feeling and the changes
190
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.120
that have been happening and I really had that on
191
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.539
my heart to talk about. And then after talking to
192
00:13:28.580 --> 00:13:32.850
my friend Chris and just learning more about some of
193
00:13:32.889 --> 00:13:36.830
the nerdy type of stuff about these peptides, I didn't
194
00:13:36.870 --> 00:13:41.169
really realize that what could be happening in addition to
195
00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:44.340
just feeling like I'm on the right path and that
196
00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:47.899
the opportunities and the conversations that are presenting themselves to
197
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:54.759
me in these ways are definitely divinely orchestrated, but add
198
00:13:54.919 --> 00:14:02.299
in a healing modality of what these peptides I have
199
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:06.240
been reading can do for like your mental clarity and focus.
200
00:14:07.059 --> 00:14:09.379
I have been very real and very honest with you
201
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:14.419
guys about how much of a struggle I have been
202
00:14:15.379 --> 00:14:20.799
having in terms of not just, you know, the circumstances
203
00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:24.110
of my life, but I've really had a hard time
204
00:14:24.149 --> 00:14:29.269
of being able to figure out where I start. It's
205
00:14:29.429 --> 00:14:33.409
one thing to decide that you want to wake up
206
00:14:33.629 --> 00:14:37.129
earlier every day or that you want to start working
207
00:14:37.269 --> 00:14:39.850
out on this day, but what do you do when
208
00:14:39.889 --> 00:14:43.549
you don't have the energy to do said things? And
209
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:47.059
I know a lot of my own experience was maybe
210
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:52.029
a little bit of depression, rightfully so and no judgment.
211
00:14:52.809 --> 00:14:56.029
For the first time in my life, I feel even
212
00:14:56.149 --> 00:15:00.309
going back to 15 years ago version of me, I
213
00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:05.539
don't know that I ever felt the level of heaviness
214
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.779
as much as I have over the course of 2025
215
00:15:08.779 --> 00:15:12.899
and maybe even more specific to just these past couple months.
216
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:20.299
And what a difference... since this rebirth of this podcast
217
00:15:20.340 --> 00:15:24.919
to where I am today are literally night and day.
218
00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:28.480
There have been so many things that have been lining
219
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.679
up in ways that are like, it's too connected to
220
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.450
be random. There's no way that you could tell me.
221
00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:39.029
And sometimes I joke and say, maybe I should just
222
00:15:39.110 --> 00:15:43.620
have a podcast that's specific to synchronicities. Like, I just
223
00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:47.200
wanted to share a couple because it's really wild, guys.
224
00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:51.679
Sometimes I'm like, okay, what is happening, God? What do
225
00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:54.559
you want me to see here? But for instance, I
226
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.429
happened to be out meeting some friends and got to
227
00:16:00.490 --> 00:16:02.909
talking with somebody that was visiting from out of town.
228
00:16:03.210 --> 00:16:07.090
And at the end of the conversation, they were not
229
00:16:07.129 --> 00:16:09.730
from here. So they're like, what can we do in Cleveland?
230
00:16:09.769 --> 00:16:12.529
What's something fun to do in Cleveland? And now because
231
00:16:12.590 --> 00:16:16.379
I'm like, kind of putting on events and working in
232
00:16:16.419 --> 00:16:21.120
the event scene, I was immediately like, oh, you should
233
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.320
go check out this place, one of the places that
234
00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:29.000
I'm associated with. And after he was kind of trying
235
00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:30.659
to make sure that he was able to fit it in,
236
00:16:30.690 --> 00:16:32.830
he's like, oh, but wait a second. I forgot that
237
00:16:32.870 --> 00:16:35.850
I have this late night. He was a comedian. He
238
00:16:35.870 --> 00:16:38.809
was here performing. And he's like, I forgot I have
239
00:16:38.850 --> 00:16:41.669
this late night thing. Do you happen to know where...
240
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.799
Market Garden Brew Pub is, which is one of the
241
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.559
places that I'm working. And I'm like, that is crazy.
242
00:16:49.740 --> 00:16:52.019
What would be the chances that I would have, A,
243
00:16:52.710 --> 00:16:56.470
come to meet my friend at this exact place to
244
00:16:56.850 --> 00:17:02.190
have the conversation that I would have to... Then all
245
00:17:02.230 --> 00:17:05.299
these things were happening. And then lo and behold, I
246
00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:09.349
was going to be working that following day for When
247
00:17:09.390 --> 00:17:11.930
this comedy show was happening and he was there and
248
00:17:11.950 --> 00:17:13.470
I was able to bring some friends and I just
249
00:17:13.490 --> 00:17:17.269
thought that it was so cool. So random. But also
250
00:17:17.390 --> 00:17:21.029
not random because this to me, like those types of moments,
251
00:17:21.109 --> 00:17:24.710
I feel when they happen, God is like giving me
252
00:17:24.750 --> 00:17:28.220
this little wink to say, just keep going. Keep trusting
253
00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:30.359
that you are on the right path. And I just
254
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:36.400
think like, what happens next? When we don't notice those
255
00:17:36.460 --> 00:17:38.519
things and how do we get to a place to
256
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.500
be open to seeing those things, right? So I think
257
00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:47.549
for any of you that have ever felt these moments,
258
00:17:47.589 --> 00:17:50.730
like these God wings, these moments of like, holy crap,
259
00:17:50.789 --> 00:17:53.630
how did that happen? That's not random. That's not this.
260
00:17:55.569 --> 00:17:58.769
What do you do? How do you process that, right?
261
00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:02.210
Because I just feel like for me, it has been...
262
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:09.329
a number of things that have been happening, but it's
263
00:18:09.380 --> 00:18:11.829
bringing me back to almost like the focus within side
264
00:18:11.869 --> 00:18:16.970
of things. Like with, I will say full transparency, like
265
00:18:17.029 --> 00:18:19.630
the working out side of things for me, I've been
266
00:18:19.710 --> 00:18:21.779
good and then I've been bad and then I've been
267
00:18:21.819 --> 00:18:23.759
good and I've been bad. This new job, I feel
268
00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:26.079
like I walk a lot. Like I am on my
269
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.920
feet a lot. So maybe it's okay. Like I'm not
270
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.920
saying like, oh, I have to be doing a workout program.
271
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.400
I'm active, so I think that that's a good thing.
272
00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:42.400
But it's not ever been about just the physical side
273
00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:45.160
of things for me. What the focus within was for
274
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.750
me at the time was always about the holistic side
275
00:18:49.789 --> 00:18:54.710
of things. So mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually. And I feel
276
00:18:54.769 --> 00:18:56.630
like I'm getting back to that place. And I have
277
00:18:56.690 --> 00:18:59.910
not felt like this in a really, really, really long time, guys.
278
00:19:01.029 --> 00:19:05.819
I'm talking a long time. And that's okay. I think
279
00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:08.700
at one point in time, I probably thought that I
280
00:19:08.740 --> 00:19:11.420
had to forevermore be doing all of the things that
281
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.859
made me quote unquote perfect. And I've realized that it's
282
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.369
okay to not have to be that way. And I
283
00:19:19.609 --> 00:19:25.210
think may have taken too long of a break from
284
00:19:25.230 --> 00:19:28.960
the things that I know that were making me feel better.
285
00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:33.279
But Again, this is no judgment. I think we all
286
00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:36.640
have to get to that place to where we decide
287
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.900
that enough is enough. And if we are reminding ourselves
288
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:43.049
of the things that we know worked once upon a
289
00:19:43.089 --> 00:19:45.710
time in my hand to God, there is nothing that
290
00:19:45.789 --> 00:19:49.769
anybody would ever be able to prove to me otherwise
291
00:19:49.789 --> 00:19:54.460
than if you are literally doing like mind, body, soul,
292
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.359
all at the same time, like that being synced together.
293
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.140
And when that is happening, I feel like everything starts
294
00:20:03.299 --> 00:20:05.640
clicking and that is the place that I'm living in
295
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:09.890
right now. So that is something that I feel in
296
00:20:09.950 --> 00:20:14.930
terms of these conversations, whether they're just me speaking directly
297
00:20:14.970 --> 00:20:17.880
with you, the listeners, or I'm having these conversations, I
298
00:20:17.940 --> 00:20:21.339
hope that you are getting maybe a little nudge to
299
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.940
think bigger, to think better, to think how and what
300
00:20:26.049 --> 00:20:30.789
could you be doing to make your life better. This
301
00:20:30.890 --> 00:20:36.099
is about collective energy when it comes to the audience
302
00:20:36.140 --> 00:20:38.359
that I hope that I'm speaking to is that it's
303
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.849
never about me. It's about the betterment of the world,
304
00:20:41.910 --> 00:20:45.069
but it has to start with us first. Nobody just
305
00:20:45.109 --> 00:20:51.650
started making changes in the world by being and doing
306
00:20:51.750 --> 00:20:55.039
all things. It takes a real collective effort for people
307
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:59.900
to really get behind things, whether that's a movement, but
308
00:21:00.329 --> 00:21:02.890
when it comes to our own personal health and wellbeing,
309
00:21:02.930 --> 00:21:05.410
like it has to be us first, of course. Right.
310
00:21:05.869 --> 00:21:11.130
So I don't know if it's, again, the, the things
311
00:21:11.170 --> 00:21:14.910
that I've just been noticing and the conversations that I'm
312
00:21:14.970 --> 00:21:18.059
having on and off the microphone. And as well as
313
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.279
like I said, my friend Chris today, when I was
314
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:23.339
just chatting with him about how I've been feeling, like
315
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:25.900
he wanted to do a check-in and make sure like
316
00:21:26.289 --> 00:21:28.890
how are you feeling? Have you noticed anything? And I'm like,
317
00:21:29.569 --> 00:21:33.710
I don't really notice anything. It's not necessarily for weight loss.
318
00:21:33.789 --> 00:21:40.440
It's meant more for feeding your body what it actually craves.
319
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:42.960
I don't want to get too deep into it because
320
00:21:43.059 --> 00:21:45.160
I really, to be honest with you, Chris is the
321
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.160
one person in my life that I feel like I'm like,
322
00:21:47.779 --> 00:21:51.569
if you told me to do whatever. I probably would
323
00:21:51.609 --> 00:21:53.829
do it because I trust him that much in the
324
00:21:53.890 --> 00:21:57.099
health and wellness space and within reason, of course. But
325
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:03.480
I was not expecting the conversation to lead to the
326
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:05.740
clarity and the things that have been happening. And I
327
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:07.900
was just kind of giving him a recap of what's
328
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.750
been happening in my life. And he shared more with
329
00:22:10.809 --> 00:22:14.829
me about Some of these things could be because of
330
00:22:14.910 --> 00:22:18.230
the peptides. And I'm the person that I'm like, I
331
00:22:18.269 --> 00:22:21.289
think it's all of it together. And I will say
332
00:22:21.309 --> 00:22:25.410
that not only is it just because of all of
333
00:22:25.470 --> 00:22:30.740
the positive momentum that is happening through my podcast, through Everly,
334
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:35.059
through my job as working in the event space here
335
00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:40.059
in Cleveland. I think that the peptides have actually helped
336
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:43.299
in some way that I wasn't even aware that they
337
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.980
would be helping. And it wasn't until I said it
338
00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:50.599
out loud that I was like, maybe it could be
339
00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:53.039
more than that. And I just thought it was kind
340
00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:57.000
of funny to bring that into the podcast for today
341
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:02.289
because I think that more and more people that I
342
00:23:02.380 --> 00:23:08.369
meet in life are dealing with something. And We live
343
00:23:08.549 --> 00:23:11.910
in a world where we try to just put the
344
00:23:11.930 --> 00:23:15.869
mask on or find these quick fixes of like, what
345
00:23:15.890 --> 00:23:19.509
can we do to make myself feel better now? Where
346
00:23:19.710 --> 00:23:23.589
I'm taking a different approach and being able to actively
347
00:23:24.990 --> 00:23:31.970
do the work. Not perfect, but I will forevermore and
348
00:23:32.029 --> 00:23:36.440
for always... find things that align. Here we are again
349
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.000
talking about alignment, but finding the things that align with
350
00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:44.150
my thoughts and my beliefs and my goals. And if
351
00:23:44.349 --> 00:23:50.130
I am constantly being reminded and being introduced to people, places,
352
00:23:50.230 --> 00:23:56.150
things that are in that alignment, I am going to
353
00:23:56.170 --> 00:23:59.339
the casino to bet a million dollars that I feel
354
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.750
I'm exactly where I am supposed to be. And what
355
00:24:02.829 --> 00:24:06.049
is happening on the other side of this conversation has
356
00:24:06.950 --> 00:24:10.630
already been put out there for me. And I had
357
00:24:10.670 --> 00:24:12.710
to go through the things that I had to go
358
00:24:12.769 --> 00:24:15.940
through to bring myself back to this place in order
359
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.339
to get to where I'm going. And that is so
360
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:27.329
true for each and every person that I have met. Sometimes...
361
00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:30.190
We do have to go through the hard shit to
362
00:24:30.230 --> 00:24:33.470
go and learn something new for ourselves or to be
363
00:24:33.549 --> 00:24:38.009
reminded of the things that already live within us. And
364
00:24:38.029 --> 00:24:43.660
I didn't think that it would happen like... Again, I
365
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:45.859
don't even know. If I had to think off the
366
00:24:45.900 --> 00:24:48.660
top of my head how long I've been back recording,
367
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:53.380
I know when I lost my job, which was like May,
368
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.960
so now it's October, so four and a half, five months, whatever.
369
00:24:56.980 --> 00:25:00.799
I'm telling you right now, I did not expect there
370
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.619
to be such turnaround and such growth in the right
371
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:11.599
direction when quite literally, I would say even... a month ago,
372
00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:14.039
I think I touched upon this a little bit in
373
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:17.740
some of my previous episodes already was like, I don't
374
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.869
always wake up wanting to do the thing. Like I
375
00:25:20.930 --> 00:25:24.990
have to like physically talk myself up to the point
376
00:25:25.069 --> 00:25:28.230
of saying like, you said you were going to do something.
377
00:25:28.269 --> 00:25:31.589
You have to do this. Like, I don't like judge
378
00:25:31.670 --> 00:25:34.450
myself and I don't shame myself for when I don't
379
00:25:34.490 --> 00:25:36.900
do it, but I do like to hold myself accountable.
380
00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:40.000
I like to hold everybody accountable for the record. Like
381
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:42.559
If you say you're going to do something, please do it.
382
00:25:42.619 --> 00:25:48.190
I get that things happen and things change, but let's
383
00:25:48.230 --> 00:25:52.109
just talk about it, open communication about the thing or
384
00:25:52.150 --> 00:25:55.150
whatever it is. You're a million percent already going to
385
00:25:55.170 --> 00:25:58.049
be so much better off at least just acknowledging it
386
00:25:58.730 --> 00:26:01.029
and then decide if you can or cannot do it.
387
00:26:01.059 --> 00:26:04.519
But anyways, yeah, I was not expecting any of the
388
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.869
things that I feel have been happening as of late,
389
00:26:09.609 --> 00:26:15.130
so quickly. And maybe it's not quick at all. It's
390
00:26:15.170 --> 00:26:20.390
right on time. But when I say that this year
391
00:26:20.470 --> 00:26:27.619
has been really hard and I'm still trudging along, I'm
392
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:32.700
still dealing with a lot of the same things, if
393
00:26:32.740 --> 00:26:37.920
you will. I'm not claiming to have anything figured out
394
00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:43.569
or imply that, you know, things that are happening are
395
00:26:43.609 --> 00:26:48.390
like magic, like it's magic happening. But I really, truly
396
00:26:48.430 --> 00:26:50.279
at the end of the day, I feel that there
397
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:56.690
is a lot of things that I've discovered and I
398
00:26:56.730 --> 00:27:02.160
wanted this episode to be a reminder to not only me,
399
00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:04.779
sometimes I need to be reminded and say things out
400
00:27:04.819 --> 00:27:07.339
loud so that I can remember what it has been like,
401
00:27:07.819 --> 00:27:11.789
but for all of us that listen, is that anything
402
00:27:11.849 --> 00:27:16.769
is possible. Like literally anything is possible if we decide
403
00:27:17.390 --> 00:27:21.579
to give ourselves the permission that we need to just start,
404
00:27:21.650 --> 00:27:26.079
like starting small. For me, like starting this podcast was
405
00:27:26.230 --> 00:27:30.200
my way of starting small. And then I was able to,
406
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.519
once I was able to use this podcast to me
407
00:27:33.660 --> 00:27:36.640
is truly like therapy. It's therapy for me. I've actually
408
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.799
had a couple of listeners reach out to me and
409
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.759
tell me that this podcast can almost be therapy to them,
410
00:27:41.819 --> 00:27:46.359
which I think is so wild. I would not actually
411
00:27:46.660 --> 00:27:50.640
think that from the listener's standpoint, but I so appreciate that.
412
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:53.650
And that actually makes me want to cry when I
413
00:27:53.690 --> 00:27:58.150
hear stuff like that, but starting small, right? Taking care
414
00:27:58.170 --> 00:28:02.130
of ourselves, whatever that is. If there's one thing that
415
00:28:02.170 --> 00:28:05.829
you can do for yourself tomorrow to do something better
416
00:28:05.890 --> 00:28:08.210
than what you did today, that is a step in
417
00:28:08.250 --> 00:28:11.990
the right direction. And when we are taking care of ourselves, right?
418
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:15.559
When we are working our minds, our bodies, and our
419
00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:20.309
souls synchronistically, is that a word? I don't even know.
420
00:28:20.450 --> 00:28:22.269
I just made it up. Put it in the Angela
421
00:28:22.309 --> 00:28:24.250
definition of, I don't know. And I don't care if
422
00:28:24.289 --> 00:28:28.349
it's a word, but we have to give ourselves permission
423
00:28:28.430 --> 00:28:31.009
to do these things. And when we are living in
424
00:28:31.029 --> 00:28:34.650
alignment in that way, I feel like we do see
425
00:28:34.750 --> 00:28:38.009
these little signs and synchronicities that show up, but we
426
00:28:38.130 --> 00:28:40.329
have to be ready and we have to be able
427
00:28:40.390 --> 00:28:43.230
to be open to receiving them because it's They are
428
00:28:43.289 --> 00:28:46.940
happening around us every day, all day. We're just not
429
00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:48.839
always open to it. And I think that there's a
430
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:51.720
reason for that. And if there is one thing about
431
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:53.859
this episode that I want you to learn is that
432
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:59.289
I full heartedly, I'm not changing the podcast back to
433
00:28:59.329 --> 00:29:02.950
the focus within, so don't get, we're okay. But it
434
00:29:03.049 --> 00:29:04.910
is a part of who I am. I think that
435
00:29:05.470 --> 00:29:10.930
that was why I'm still sitting here today, still in
436
00:29:10.970 --> 00:29:16.150
the podcasting space, is because that was birthed out of
437
00:29:16.190 --> 00:29:20.150
a place of learning how to take care of myself better.
438
00:29:20.170 --> 00:29:25.569
And here we are. So another thing I wanted to
439
00:29:25.829 --> 00:29:30.380
add as well, just to kind of leave you with
440
00:29:32.380 --> 00:29:36.279
what part of this message, what part of the Let
441
00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:42.960
Them Know podcast do you come back for? I think
442
00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:47.529
that the hope and possibility of having these conversations or
443
00:29:47.609 --> 00:29:53.279
learning something new about something is always... meant to serve
444
00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:57.240
us in that moment and beyond. So we don't have
445
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:00.440
to have everything figured out to be in this place
446
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.180
of alignment, if you will. Sometimes it finds us when
447
00:30:04.220 --> 00:30:07.819
we start showing up for ourselves. So what is something, again,
448
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:12.180
that you can do to show up for yourself so
449
00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:15.700
that you can start to maybe notice a lot of
450
00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:19.269
these things and realize that I think they really are
451
00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:24.769
set to remind us of like, you are here for something.
452
00:30:24.869 --> 00:30:29.769
You are meant to experience something, whether it is a job,
453
00:30:29.910 --> 00:30:33.369
whether it is a relationship, whether it is with your family,
454
00:30:33.789 --> 00:30:37.650
with your friends. We all have something so special and
455
00:30:37.769 --> 00:30:41.859
unique that is just to us that cannot be duplicated.
456
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.440
And it is our job to find what that is
457
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:47.400
and share it with the world. And so I hope
458
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:51.190
that you are able to notice the things that are
459
00:30:51.250 --> 00:30:55.299
pointing you towards your own path and putting you into
460
00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:57.539
the perfect space for you to open yourself up to
461
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:03.039
the opportunities to bring in the things that your heart desires.
462
00:31:05.309 --> 00:31:11.269
That was deep, guys. Sometimes it's so funny when you're
463
00:31:11.789 --> 00:31:15.220
doing these episodes by yourself and I kind of just
464
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:18.069
like go into this headspace and I promise you I
465
00:31:18.230 --> 00:31:21.009
will probably be done with this recording and be like,
466
00:31:21.029 --> 00:31:23.049
I have no idea how I just talked for as
467
00:31:23.069 --> 00:31:26.750
long as I did, but here we are. Yeah. So anyways,
468
00:31:26.890 --> 00:31:28.470
I'm going to keep this one short. That's all I
469
00:31:28.609 --> 00:31:30.589
really wanted to come on here just to do a
470
00:31:30.609 --> 00:31:33.549
little pep talk, give a little pep talk and peptides.
471
00:31:34.529 --> 00:31:38.299
But yeah, I'm... I will be having my friend Chris
472
00:31:38.539 --> 00:31:42.880
on the podcast here soon to dive deeper into the
473
00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:46.299
peptide world. But for anybody that's curious, I did say
474
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:51.000
he is like, have them text me. He's an open book.
475
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:55.420
He's an amazing person. Honestly, he's one of the best
476
00:31:55.460 --> 00:31:57.589
human beings that I've ever met in my life. I
477
00:31:57.609 --> 00:32:01.670
will never stop talking about him for everything that he
478
00:32:01.730 --> 00:32:06.339
has offered in terms of guidance, support, motivation, inspiration, all
479
00:32:06.380 --> 00:32:08.259
of the things. So I'm going to be sure to
480
00:32:08.299 --> 00:32:11.079
put his contact information in the show notes here. If
481
00:32:11.099 --> 00:32:15.119
you are interested in learning more about these peptides, again,
482
00:32:15.769 --> 00:32:19.650
separate podcast to dive way deeper in it. But I
483
00:32:19.809 --> 00:32:21.569
thought that it was important for me to talk about
484
00:32:21.609 --> 00:32:23.690
it because it is my real life and I'm telling
485
00:32:23.710 --> 00:32:26.839
you guys what is happening, especially when it comes to
486
00:32:26.900 --> 00:32:30.480
a solo episode like this. So Yeah, I just really
487
00:32:30.509 --> 00:32:36.869
have so much gratitude for what has been happening in
488
00:32:37.230 --> 00:32:41.569
my world, what has been happening with this podcast. The feedback,
489
00:32:41.589 --> 00:32:45.150
like I said, has been fantastic. And again, I don't
490
00:32:45.269 --> 00:32:49.089
do this for any feedback at all while I appreciate it,
491
00:32:49.430 --> 00:32:52.390
of course. This is not meant to just serve my
492
00:32:52.589 --> 00:32:57.000
ego by any means. I really feel called to use
493
00:32:57.059 --> 00:33:01.599
my voice in the world and to have conversations or
494
00:33:01.779 --> 00:33:04.519
if it's just my own inner thoughts of what I
495
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:07.839
am feeling in any given moment. God has made it
496
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.299
abundantly clear that this is where I am supposed to
497
00:33:11.339 --> 00:33:16.349
be and I am not going anywhere. So yeah, I
498
00:33:16.450 --> 00:33:22.180
am full of gratitude. Another trip around the sun. it's wild.
499
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.480
It's really wild. But at the end of the day,
500
00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:29.920
I feel ready. I feel clearer. I feel more grounded.
501
00:33:29.940 --> 00:33:33.890
I feel definitely open to all of the possibilities that
502
00:33:34.630 --> 00:33:38.589
I'm already living in. And I wanted this episode to
503
00:33:38.650 --> 00:33:42.430
be a reminder to you to just pay attention to
504
00:33:42.470 --> 00:33:46.000
what is showing up for you. I feel like you
505
00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:49.980
have your own vision, you have your own dreams and goals,
506
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:51.960
and those were given to you for a reason. I
507
00:33:52.700 --> 00:33:56.269
promise you the small things that we do every single
508
00:33:56.329 --> 00:34:00.190
day matter. And the more that we are open and
509
00:34:00.369 --> 00:34:03.470
showing up for ourselves and paying attention to what is
510
00:34:03.569 --> 00:34:07.809
showing up for you, that these are our reminders that
511
00:34:07.849 --> 00:34:11.340
we're already on our way to what is next and
512
00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:14.239
what is meant for us. So Thank you guys for
513
00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:17.699
listening as always. Like I said, I will be leaving
514
00:34:17.820 --> 00:34:20.769
Chris's information in the show notes if you're interested in that.
515
00:34:20.809 --> 00:34:24.610
But otherwise, I hope you guys are having a great week.
516
00:34:25.090 --> 00:34:27.750
I cannot wait to talk to you guys in next
517
00:34:27.849 --> 00:34:30.929
week's episode. Be sure to follow, like, share, do all
518
00:34:30.969 --> 00:34:33.579
the things. If you yourself would like to be a
519
00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:37.340
guest on the Let Em Know podcast, please reach out,
520
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:41.260
send me a message. I am happy to have you. Also,
521
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:44.940
if you are somebody that's interested in starting your own podcast,
522
00:34:44.980 --> 00:34:50.190
sometimes I forget that I'm wearing multiple hats, Everly, you'll
523
00:34:50.210 --> 00:34:54.050
be noticing some new changes over at Ever So Everly.
524
00:34:55.150 --> 00:34:58.550
We are just getting started and I mean, I am
525
00:34:58.610 --> 00:35:03.150
ready to take this to the moon. My show is
526
00:35:03.210 --> 00:35:07.159
my show, but giving other people an opportunity to create
527
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:11.860
what they have in them is so much more important
528
00:35:12.300 --> 00:35:17.059
than I probably ever thought I would. I don't know.
529
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:21.199
It's all happening ever so everly. Definitely if you're interested
530
00:35:21.260 --> 00:35:23.570
in starting your own show, I'd be happy to chat
531
00:35:23.590 --> 00:35:27.510
with you about that as well. Love you guys so much.
532
00:35:28.230 --> 00:35:35.289
I will see you in next week's episode. I don't
533
00:35:35.329 --> 00:35:40.519
care what you say I'll do it anyway I really
534
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:41.039
don't care
1
00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:05.639
You think you understand me. You think you have an
2
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:10.369
inside point of view. Hey guys, welcome back to the
3
00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:14.509
Let Em Know podcast. This is Angela. And I feel
4
00:00:14.529 --> 00:00:21.350
like it has been a week. I am still... just
5
00:00:21.469 --> 00:00:25.460
in so much awe and amazement over the past couple
6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:30.079
episodes that I've had with my guests and the feedback
7
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:36.579
that I've been receiving from so many people, myself included, obviously.
8
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.420
I'm the one hosting the show. I'm the one asking
9
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:44.520
the questions. And I really feel like after last week's episode,
10
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.840
it really did unlock something in me to really want
11
00:00:47.869 --> 00:00:56.380
to Not that I'm not taking this podcast serious. Obviously,
12
00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:01.289
I do. But the level of conversations that I have
13
00:01:01.670 --> 00:01:05.359
that are not recorded and bringing that type of conversation
14
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.739
onto the mic is... exactly what I want the Let
15
00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:12.540
Em Know podcast to be. I think I've shared that
16
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.459
from the beginning, but it's just kind of one of
17
00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:18.000
those things, even going back to my conversations from a
18
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.900
couple of weeks ago, the episode with my friend Chaz,
19
00:01:21.099 --> 00:01:23.079
and we were kind of like talking about the fake
20
00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:27.620
it till you make it mentality. As someone who has
21
00:01:27.659 --> 00:01:32.340
been in the podcasting industry for five years, give or take,
22
00:01:33.329 --> 00:01:38.310
you don't always know exactly how things are going to go.
23
00:01:39.489 --> 00:01:42.870
You have your ideas of what you want your show
24
00:01:42.890 --> 00:01:45.150
to be about. This is what I'm doing in Everly
25
00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:51.170
when I'm helping new podcasters start their podcast journey. Starting
26
00:01:51.209 --> 00:01:53.870
at the bare bones of what it is that you
27
00:01:53.909 --> 00:01:56.310
want your show to be about and going through that
28
00:01:56.379 --> 00:01:59.719
creative process. And even as someone who has been behind
29
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.329
this mic for quite some time now, It still never
30
00:02:03.390 --> 00:02:07.650
ceases to amaze me that I sometimes get shocked at
31
00:02:08.009 --> 00:02:11.830
what ends up happening as opposed to what I feel
32
00:02:11.849 --> 00:02:17.580
I had. I never script my podcast, but yeah, that
33
00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:21.740
episode last week, I really learned a lot. I've had
34
00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:25.590
a lot of really great positive feedback. I have not
35
00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:31.080
heard of how listeners may have responded. I really hope
36
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.300
that people have been looking up Integrity Aid and making
37
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.750
donations if you feel so called to do so. But
38
00:02:40.349 --> 00:02:46.030
that was a really, really eye-opening conversation, lessons that I
39
00:02:46.069 --> 00:02:51.599
learned and things that are happening that I honestly didn't
40
00:02:51.819 --> 00:02:56.330
realize or maybe I've blatantly ignored to some level because
41
00:02:57.150 --> 00:02:59.930
that's human nature, I think, is that we find ourselves
42
00:02:59.990 --> 00:03:04.129
having conversations or not wanting to have conversations because they
43
00:03:04.169 --> 00:03:08.289
make us less uncomfortable. And that was one that I
44
00:03:08.330 --> 00:03:12.210
will not forget anytime soon. And I look forward to
45
00:03:12.349 --> 00:03:16.990
inviting both Arash and Rocky back onto the podcast in
46
00:03:17.009 --> 00:03:21.099
the future because I think that there's never... There's never
47
00:03:21.139 --> 00:03:25.340
a time that those types of conversations, people coming together
48
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:29.210
to help other people will happen, at least in my world.
49
00:03:29.310 --> 00:03:33.930
So thank you guys for sending your thoughts and feedback
50
00:03:33.969 --> 00:03:37.710
about that episode specifically. But just kind of where I
51
00:03:37.770 --> 00:03:41.629
wanted to set the tone for today and what is happening, right?
52
00:03:41.650 --> 00:03:44.729
Like I... I kind of go back and forth between
53
00:03:45.530 --> 00:03:49.069
solo episodes and having guests. I think I will always
54
00:03:49.129 --> 00:03:53.689
do that, but it's good to sometimes have the mic
55
00:03:53.729 --> 00:03:56.169
to myself because it gives me an opportunity to just
56
00:03:56.210 --> 00:04:00.520
kind of like talk about what I want to talk
57
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:08.139
about or what I feel like is important or the Yeah.
58
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:13.879
So I just celebrated my birthday, which I've not really
59
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.939
had an age where I thought like, oh my gosh,
60
00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:21.720
I remember turning 30 and being so freaked out by
61
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.160
the number 30, but then you kind of get over it.
62
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.279
And 40, I think was, it was big, but it
63
00:04:28.379 --> 00:04:30.699
happened during COVID. And I feel like that was just
64
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.110
such a weird time to be living in anyway. So
65
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.740
it didn't necessarily... make an impact or, you know, I
66
00:04:37.779 --> 00:04:43.500
didn't sweat about turning 40, but something about 45 guys.
67
00:04:43.579 --> 00:04:48.040
Like I, I don't know. I feel like I'm truly
68
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.689
in the prime of my life. This midlife version of
69
00:04:54.750 --> 00:05:00.470
me is really, it's really something. And it wasn't though
70
00:05:00.550 --> 00:05:03.029
until I think it was my mom had posted on
71
00:05:03.089 --> 00:05:07.899
her social media wishing me And I saw the numbers,
72
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.430
like 45, and I was like, what is she talking about? Like,
73
00:05:11.470 --> 00:05:13.810
who is she? I'm like, she has another daughter. I
74
00:05:13.810 --> 00:05:18.629
don't know why. 45 feels so wild to me, but
75
00:05:18.689 --> 00:05:21.649
it does. Here I am. You know, it's kind of
76
00:05:21.689 --> 00:05:25.959
like another year older, another year wiser. So I kind
77
00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:28.959
of have had a lot of these self-reflecting moments. And
78
00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:32.300
then again, like going back to the conversations and what
79
00:05:32.420 --> 00:05:36.550
has been happening on this podcast are just... Impacting me
80
00:05:36.709 --> 00:05:40.569
in ways that maybe I was prepared for. At least
81
00:05:40.649 --> 00:05:44.949
I hoped that I would be bringing that to the show.
82
00:05:44.980 --> 00:05:51.360
But there is something to be said about getting older,
83
00:05:51.379 --> 00:05:56.199
getting wiser, and starting to notice a lot of the
84
00:05:56.259 --> 00:05:58.769
things that are happening. So the one thing that I
85
00:05:58.790 --> 00:06:04.230
will say that's been so relevant and happening repeatedly is
86
00:06:05.259 --> 00:06:10.769
are these small moments, these synchronicities that are just undeniable
87
00:06:10.949 --> 00:06:14.189
at this point. And I cannot tell truly. I feel
88
00:06:14.209 --> 00:06:19.839
like I've talked about these moments throughout the course of
89
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.860
this podcast. More so now, though, I feel that I'm like,
90
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.459
what is happening? I was on the phone with my
91
00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:33.899
friend Chris earlier today, Chris Downing. I cannot wait for
92
00:06:33.939 --> 00:06:36.800
him to be on the podcast. Chris, I love you.
93
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.529
You are just such an inspiration for me in so
94
00:06:40.569 --> 00:06:45.399
many ways. But we were talking this morning, I had recently, so...
95
00:06:46.370 --> 00:06:48.029
you know, go big or go home. I feel like
96
00:06:48.089 --> 00:06:52.370
for the first part of this podcast, when it got
97
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:58.100
rebranded as the Let Them Know podcast, I was really going,
98
00:06:58.139 --> 00:07:00.579
I mean, we're all going through it, right? It's like
99
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.860
no day, no week, no month, wherever you find yourself.
100
00:07:04.899 --> 00:07:08.709
Like there's moments where things are like chill and you
101
00:07:08.730 --> 00:07:12.990
want to take those moments. Oh, I love those moments.
102
00:07:13.050 --> 00:07:17.970
Like present moment, being just in the present makes me
103
00:07:18.490 --> 00:07:23.720
smile bigger than maybe I ever do. With all things
104
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:28.120
that have happened, not just in my life, but in
105
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:34.199
the world. And yeah, I guess even thinking back to
106
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.600
2020 when I first started my podcast, The Focus Within,
107
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.660
and thinking about how much life has changed. But it
108
00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:45.360
happens quite often and frequently, at least in my world.
109
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:51.750
As you have witnessed throughout these first episodes of Let
110
00:07:51.810 --> 00:07:55.050
Em Know, I have gone through quite a few transitions
111
00:07:55.230 --> 00:08:01.350
with job, career, starting a business, learning how to do business,
112
00:08:01.910 --> 00:08:06.550
starting a new job. There's just always something happening. And
113
00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:13.250
I think, I think that I am really... enjoying it,
114
00:08:13.370 --> 00:08:18.149
if that makes sense. As much as we all have
115
00:08:19.170 --> 00:08:22.709
maybe at one point or another strived to have these
116
00:08:22.970 --> 00:08:26.110
slow seasons, and don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong
117
00:08:26.149 --> 00:08:31.519
with slow seasons, but I think my slow season lasted
118
00:08:31.660 --> 00:08:34.480
a little too long that when it hit me, when
119
00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:38.340
life hit me, it kind of threw me back off
120
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.809
my feet a little bit to put me in a
121
00:08:40.830 --> 00:08:43.289
little bit of a frenzy. And again, a lot of
122
00:08:43.330 --> 00:08:47.429
this could be more than the circumstances of my life,
123
00:08:47.690 --> 00:08:50.809
getting older, women's health, all of the things that I
124
00:08:50.929 --> 00:08:55.330
know are happening like internally for me. But anyways, back
125
00:08:55.370 --> 00:08:57.850
to my friend, Chris. So knowing all of that and
126
00:08:57.950 --> 00:09:00.190
kind of like these conversations that him and I have,
127
00:09:00.269 --> 00:09:04.580
he is a trainer and he has helped me in
128
00:09:05.250 --> 00:09:10.740
more ways than just physical transformation. Um, He was recently
129
00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:19.490
sharing about peptide therapy. And it's been maybe a year
130
00:09:19.669 --> 00:09:23.730
or two since I was on any type of real regimen.
131
00:09:23.809 --> 00:09:28.830
But I was prescribed by my doctor. Even if I
132
00:09:28.870 --> 00:09:31.370
wasn't prescribed by my doctor, I don't have any shame
133
00:09:31.409 --> 00:09:36.309
in it. But I did take semaglutide once. about two
134
00:09:36.370 --> 00:09:40.500
years ago. And again, I think I've had this ongoing
135
00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:45.519
battle with my hormones for longer than I've probably been
136
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:52.230
in perimenopause. But a lot of that kind of stuff
137
00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:55.389
can lead to other things. And so I've gone through
138
00:09:55.409 --> 00:10:01.710
this hormonal imbalance journey and my doctor has had recommended
139
00:10:01.730 --> 00:10:08.250
a semaglutide type of treatment, not just specifically for weight loss,
140
00:10:08.269 --> 00:10:10.769
but for all of the other good things that I
141
00:10:10.830 --> 00:10:13.149
think I have read now over the course of the
142
00:10:16.019 --> 00:10:19.919
It has changed so many people's lives. Again, not out
143
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.960
of just pure weight loss, but I know for my
144
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:28.870
own health journey in dealing with hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovarian syndrome,
145
00:10:30.549 --> 00:10:35.559
it really did help in some ways. doing whatever that
146
00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:38.500
did to my body to help regulate some of the
147
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.600
things that were happening. But it's not something that I
148
00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:44.830
think that you're supposed to be on forever. I kind of,
149
00:10:45.289 --> 00:10:49.990
with the transitions and jobs, have not had health insurance.
150
00:10:50.009 --> 00:10:53.710
So there's a lot of reasons why I did not
151
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:59.600
continue on with that method. But anyways, Chris was talking
152
00:10:59.960 --> 00:11:03.320
on his own social media platforms a lot lately about
153
00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:10.269
his own health journey and how he has helped so
154
00:11:10.429 --> 00:11:14.320
many people transform their physical bodies with his fitness programs
155
00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:15.740
and things of that nature. And I don't want to
156
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:17.720
get too deep into it because I want him to
157
00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:21.240
be able to share his story for himself with all
158
00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:24.419
of you. But he started talking about peptides and I
159
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.870
don't even want to have the conversation deep about peptides either.
160
00:11:28.009 --> 00:11:30.970
I just actually thought about it when I was preparing
161
00:11:31.049 --> 00:11:33.870
for this episode about all of the things that have
162
00:11:33.909 --> 00:11:37.950
happened over the last week since I recorded my last episode.
163
00:11:38.070 --> 00:11:41.759
And these podcasts, when they get recorded, I'm doing it
164
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.929
in real time I love my editor. I hope that
165
00:11:45.970 --> 00:11:49.669
they stay with me for as long as humanly possible
166
00:11:49.730 --> 00:11:54.429
because I am like, sorry, I have had a million
167
00:11:54.450 --> 00:11:56.850
and one things happening in my life and I'm just
168
00:11:56.889 --> 00:11:59.070
now getting ready to record and I need to have
169
00:11:59.110 --> 00:12:01.730
this done in less than 24 hours. They're amazing. But yeah, so...
170
00:12:10.769 --> 00:12:17.159
I recently started on this peptide regimen with my friend Chris,
171
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:19.659
who again, he will be on the show to talk
172
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:23.379
about it. But we had this conversation today and I
173
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.870
kind of decided after the conversation, I'm like, I feel
174
00:12:25.889 --> 00:12:28.029
like this podcast is going to be called Pep Talks
175
00:12:28.090 --> 00:12:30.929
and Peptides because I wanted it to be a mix
176
00:12:31.009 --> 00:12:34.129
of reflection of what has been happening on the show.
177
00:12:34.149 --> 00:12:39.080
I've had, like I said, some opportunities to have real
178
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.799
conversations with the people that have been on here. And
179
00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:44.220
I love that. And I also love being able to
180
00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:47.659
have a moment to reflect and then talk about what's
181
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:53.220
happening just from my own voice, right? So peptides and
182
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.120
or pep talks and peptides. It's so funny. It's like
183
00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.019
a tongue twister, but it was, it came to me
184
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.179
and I'm like, I'm going to go with it. Yeah.
185
00:13:02.210 --> 00:13:08.549
So just like this reflective moment of this time of
186
00:13:08.590 --> 00:13:10.409
year with it being my birthday. And then all of
187
00:13:10.450 --> 00:13:12.590
the things that I feel like are happening that feel
188
00:13:12.889 --> 00:13:19.529
so aligned, like these synchronicities that keep showing up and
189
00:13:19.549 --> 00:13:22.320
like this clarity that I've been feeling and the changes
190
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.120
that have been happening and I really had that on
191
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.539
my heart to talk about. And then after talking to
192
00:13:28.580 --> 00:13:32.850
my friend Chris and just learning more about some of
193
00:13:32.889 --> 00:13:36.830
the nerdy type of stuff about these peptides, I didn't
194
00:13:36.870 --> 00:13:41.169
really realize that what could be happening in addition to
195
00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:44.340
just feeling like I'm on the right path and that
196
00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:47.899
the opportunities and the conversations that are presenting themselves to
197
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:54.759
me in these ways are definitely divinely orchestrated, but add
198
00:13:54.919 --> 00:14:02.299
in a healing modality of what these peptides I have
199
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:06.240
been reading can do for like your mental clarity and focus.
200
00:14:07.059 --> 00:14:09.379
I have been very real and very honest with you
201
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:14.419
guys about how much of a struggle I have been
202
00:14:15.379 --> 00:14:20.799
having in terms of not just, you know, the circumstances
203
00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:24.110
of my life, but I've really had a hard time
204
00:14:24.149 --> 00:14:29.269
of being able to figure out where I start. It's
205
00:14:29.429 --> 00:14:33.409
one thing to decide that you want to wake up
206
00:14:33.629 --> 00:14:37.129
earlier every day or that you want to start working
207
00:14:37.269 --> 00:14:39.850
out on this day, but what do you do when
208
00:14:39.889 --> 00:14:43.549
you don't have the energy to do said things? And
209
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:47.059
I know a lot of my own experience was maybe
210
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:52.029
a little bit of depression, rightfully so and no judgment.
211
00:14:52.809 --> 00:14:56.029
For the first time in my life, I feel even
212
00:14:56.149 --> 00:15:00.309
going back to 15 years ago version of me, I
213
00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:05.539
don't know that I ever felt the level of heaviness
214
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.779
as much as I have over the course of 2025
215
00:15:08.779 --> 00:15:12.899
and maybe even more specific to just these past couple months.
216
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:20.299
And what a difference... since this rebirth of this podcast
217
00:15:20.340 --> 00:15:24.919
to where I am today are literally night and day.
218
00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:28.480
There have been so many things that have been lining
219
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.679
up in ways that are like, it's too connected to
220
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.450
be random. There's no way that you could tell me.
221
00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:39.029
And sometimes I joke and say, maybe I should just
222
00:15:39.110 --> 00:15:43.620
have a podcast that's specific to synchronicities. Like, I just
223
00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:47.200
wanted to share a couple because it's really wild, guys.
224
00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:51.679
Sometimes I'm like, okay, what is happening, God? What do
225
00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:54.559
you want me to see here? But for instance, I
226
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.429
happened to be out meeting some friends and got to
227
00:16:00.490 --> 00:16:02.909
talking with somebody that was visiting from out of town.
228
00:16:03.210 --> 00:16:07.090
And at the end of the conversation, they were not
229
00:16:07.129 --> 00:16:09.730
from here. So they're like, what can we do in Cleveland?
230
00:16:09.769 --> 00:16:12.529
What's something fun to do in Cleveland? And now because
231
00:16:12.590 --> 00:16:16.379
I'm like, kind of putting on events and working in
232
00:16:16.419 --> 00:16:21.120
the event scene, I was immediately like, oh, you should
233
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.320
go check out this place, one of the places that
234
00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:29.000
I'm associated with. And after he was kind of trying
235
00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:30.659
to make sure that he was able to fit it in,
236
00:16:30.690 --> 00:16:32.830
he's like, oh, but wait a second. I forgot that
237
00:16:32.870 --> 00:16:35.850
I have this late night. He was a comedian. He
238
00:16:35.870 --> 00:16:38.809
was here performing. And he's like, I forgot I have
239
00:16:38.850 --> 00:16:41.669
this late night thing. Do you happen to know where...
240
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.799
Market Garden Brew Pub is, which is one of the
241
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.559
places that I'm working. And I'm like, that is crazy.
242
00:16:49.740 --> 00:16:52.019
What would be the chances that I would have, A,
243
00:16:52.710 --> 00:16:56.470
come to meet my friend at this exact place to
244
00:16:56.850 --> 00:17:02.190
have the conversation that I would have to... Then all
245
00:17:02.230 --> 00:17:05.299
these things were happening. And then lo and behold, I
246
00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:09.349
was going to be working that following day for When
247
00:17:09.390 --> 00:17:11.930
this comedy show was happening and he was there and
248
00:17:11.950 --> 00:17:13.470
I was able to bring some friends and I just
249
00:17:13.490 --> 00:17:17.269
thought that it was so cool. So random. But also
250
00:17:17.390 --> 00:17:21.029
not random because this to me, like those types of moments,
251
00:17:21.109 --> 00:17:24.710
I feel when they happen, God is like giving me
252
00:17:24.750 --> 00:17:28.220
this little wink to say, just keep going. Keep trusting
253
00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:30.359
that you are on the right path. And I just
254
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:36.400
think like, what happens next? When we don't notice those
255
00:17:36.460 --> 00:17:38.519
things and how do we get to a place to
256
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.500
be open to seeing those things, right? So I think
257
00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:47.549
for any of you that have ever felt these moments,
258
00:17:47.589 --> 00:17:50.730
like these God wings, these moments of like, holy crap,
259
00:17:50.789 --> 00:17:53.630
how did that happen? That's not random. That's not this.
260
00:17:55.569 --> 00:17:58.769
What do you do? How do you process that, right?
261
00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:02.210
Because I just feel like for me, it has been...
262
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:09.329
a number of things that have been happening, but it's
263
00:18:09.380 --> 00:18:11.829
bringing me back to almost like the focus within side
264
00:18:11.869 --> 00:18:16.970
of things. Like with, I will say full transparency, like
265
00:18:17.029 --> 00:18:19.630
the working out side of things for me, I've been
266
00:18:19.710 --> 00:18:21.779
good and then I've been bad and then I've been
267
00:18:21.819 --> 00:18:23.759
good and I've been bad. This new job, I feel
268
00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:26.079
like I walk a lot. Like I am on my
269
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.920
feet a lot. So maybe it's okay. Like I'm not
270
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.920
saying like, oh, I have to be doing a workout program.
271
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.400
I'm active, so I think that that's a good thing.
272
00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:42.400
But it's not ever been about just the physical side
273
00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:45.160
of things for me. What the focus within was for
274
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.750
me at the time was always about the holistic side
275
00:18:49.789 --> 00:18:54.710
of things. So mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually. And I feel
276
00:18:54.769 --> 00:18:56.630
like I'm getting back to that place. And I have
277
00:18:56.690 --> 00:18:59.910
not felt like this in a really, really, really long time, guys.
278
00:19:01.029 --> 00:19:05.819
I'm talking a long time. And that's okay. I think
279
00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:08.700
at one point in time, I probably thought that I
280
00:19:08.740 --> 00:19:11.420
had to forevermore be doing all of the things that
281
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.859
made me quote unquote perfect. And I've realized that it's
282
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.369
okay to not have to be that way. And I
283
00:19:19.609 --> 00:19:25.210
think may have taken too long of a break from
284
00:19:25.230 --> 00:19:28.960
the things that I know that were making me feel better.
285
00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:33.279
But Again, this is no judgment. I think we all
286
00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:36.640
have to get to that place to where we decide
287
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.900
that enough is enough. And if we are reminding ourselves
288
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:43.049
of the things that we know worked once upon a
289
00:19:43.089 --> 00:19:45.710
time in my hand to God, there is nothing that
290
00:19:45.789 --> 00:19:49.769
anybody would ever be able to prove to me otherwise
291
00:19:49.789 --> 00:19:54.460
than if you are literally doing like mind, body, soul,
292
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.359
all at the same time, like that being synced together.
293
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.140
And when that is happening, I feel like everything starts
294
00:20:03.299 --> 00:20:05.640
clicking and that is the place that I'm living in
295
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:09.890
right now. So that is something that I feel in
296
00:20:09.950 --> 00:20:14.930
terms of these conversations, whether they're just me speaking directly
297
00:20:14.970 --> 00:20:17.880
with you, the listeners, or I'm having these conversations, I
298
00:20:17.940 --> 00:20:21.339
hope that you are getting maybe a little nudge to
299
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.940
think bigger, to think better, to think how and what
300
00:20:26.049 --> 00:20:30.789
could you be doing to make your life better. This
301
00:20:30.890 --> 00:20:36.099
is about collective energy when it comes to the audience
302
00:20:36.140 --> 00:20:38.359
that I hope that I'm speaking to is that it's
303
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.849
never about me. It's about the betterment of the world,
304
00:20:41.910 --> 00:20:45.069
but it has to start with us first. Nobody just
305
00:20:45.109 --> 00:20:51.650
started making changes in the world by being and doing
306
00:20:51.750 --> 00:20:55.039
all things. It takes a real collective effort for people
307
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:59.900
to really get behind things, whether that's a movement, but
308
00:21:00.329 --> 00:21:02.890
when it comes to our own personal health and wellbeing,
309
00:21:02.930 --> 00:21:05.410
like it has to be us first, of course. Right.
310
00:21:05.869 --> 00:21:11.130
So I don't know if it's, again, the, the things
311
00:21:11.170 --> 00:21:14.910
that I've just been noticing and the conversations that I'm
312
00:21:14.970 --> 00:21:18.059
having on and off the microphone. And as well as
313
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.279
like I said, my friend Chris today, when I was
314
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:23.339
just chatting with him about how I've been feeling, like
315
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:25.900
he wanted to do a check-in and make sure like
316
00:21:26.289 --> 00:21:28.890
how are you feeling? Have you noticed anything? And I'm like,
317
00:21:29.569 --> 00:21:33.710
I don't really notice anything. It's not necessarily for weight loss.
318
00:21:33.789 --> 00:21:40.440
It's meant more for feeding your body what it actually craves.
319
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:42.960
I don't want to get too deep into it because
320
00:21:43.059 --> 00:21:45.160
I really, to be honest with you, Chris is the
321
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.160
one person in my life that I feel like I'm like,
322
00:21:47.779 --> 00:21:51.569
if you told me to do whatever. I probably would
323
00:21:51.609 --> 00:21:53.829
do it because I trust him that much in the
324
00:21:53.890 --> 00:21:57.099
health and wellness space and within reason, of course. But
325
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:03.480
I was not expecting the conversation to lead to the
326
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:05.740
clarity and the things that have been happening. And I
327
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:07.900
was just kind of giving him a recap of what's
328
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.750
been happening in my life. And he shared more with
329
00:22:10.809 --> 00:22:14.829
me about Some of these things could be because of
330
00:22:14.910 --> 00:22:18.230
the peptides. And I'm the person that I'm like, I
331
00:22:18.269 --> 00:22:21.289
think it's all of it together. And I will say
332
00:22:21.309 --> 00:22:25.410
that not only is it just because of all of
333
00:22:25.470 --> 00:22:30.740
the positive momentum that is happening through my podcast, through Everly,
334
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:35.059
through my job as working in the event space here
335
00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:40.059
in Cleveland. I think that the peptides have actually helped
336
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:43.299
in some way that I wasn't even aware that they
337
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.980
would be helping. And it wasn't until I said it
338
00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:50.599
out loud that I was like, maybe it could be
339
00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:53.039
more than that. And I just thought it was kind
340
00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:57.000
of funny to bring that into the podcast for today
341
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:02.289
because I think that more and more people that I
342
00:23:02.380 --> 00:23:08.369
meet in life are dealing with something. And We live
343
00:23:08.549 --> 00:23:11.910
in a world where we try to just put the
344
00:23:11.930 --> 00:23:15.869
mask on or find these quick fixes of like, what
345
00:23:15.890 --> 00:23:19.509
can we do to make myself feel better now? Where
346
00:23:19.710 --> 00:23:23.589
I'm taking a different approach and being able to actively
347
00:23:24.990 --> 00:23:31.970
do the work. Not perfect, but I will forevermore and
348
00:23:32.029 --> 00:23:36.440
for always... find things that align. Here we are again
349
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.000
talking about alignment, but finding the things that align with
350
00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:44.150
my thoughts and my beliefs and my goals. And if
351
00:23:44.349 --> 00:23:50.130
I am constantly being reminded and being introduced to people, places,
352
00:23:50.230 --> 00:23:56.150
things that are in that alignment, I am going to
353
00:23:56.170 --> 00:23:59.339
the casino to bet a million dollars that I feel
354
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.750
I'm exactly where I am supposed to be. And what
355
00:24:02.829 --> 00:24:06.049
is happening on the other side of this conversation has
356
00:24:06.950 --> 00:24:10.630
already been put out there for me. And I had
357
00:24:10.670 --> 00:24:12.710
to go through the things that I had to go
358
00:24:12.769 --> 00:24:15.940
through to bring myself back to this place in order
359
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.339
to get to where I'm going. And that is so
360
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:27.329
true for each and every person that I have met. Sometimes...
361
00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:30.190
We do have to go through the hard shit to
362
00:24:30.230 --> 00:24:33.470
go and learn something new for ourselves or to be
363
00:24:33.549 --> 00:24:38.009
reminded of the things that already live within us. And
364
00:24:38.029 --> 00:24:43.660
I didn't think that it would happen like... Again, I
365
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:45.859
don't even know. If I had to think off the
366
00:24:45.900 --> 00:24:48.660
top of my head how long I've been back recording,
367
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:53.380
I know when I lost my job, which was like May,
368
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.960
so now it's October, so four and a half, five months, whatever.
369
00:24:56.980 --> 00:25:00.799
I'm telling you right now, I did not expect there
370
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.619
to be such turnaround and such growth in the right
371
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:11.599
direction when quite literally, I would say even... a month ago,
372
00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:14.039
I think I touched upon this a little bit in
373
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:17.740
some of my previous episodes already was like, I don't
374
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.869
always wake up wanting to do the thing. Like I
375
00:25:20.930 --> 00:25:24.990
have to like physically talk myself up to the point
376
00:25:25.069 --> 00:25:28.230
of saying like, you said you were going to do something.
377
00:25:28.269 --> 00:25:31.589
You have to do this. Like, I don't like judge
378
00:25:31.670 --> 00:25:34.450
myself and I don't shame myself for when I don't
379
00:25:34.490 --> 00:25:36.900
do it, but I do like to hold myself accountable.
380
00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:40.000
I like to hold everybody accountable for the record. Like
381
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:42.559
If you say you're going to do something, please do it.
382
00:25:42.619 --> 00:25:48.190
I get that things happen and things change, but let's
383
00:25:48.230 --> 00:25:52.109
just talk about it, open communication about the thing or
384
00:25:52.150 --> 00:25:55.150
whatever it is. You're a million percent already going to
385
00:25:55.170 --> 00:25:58.049
be so much better off at least just acknowledging it
386
00:25:58.730 --> 00:26:01.029
and then decide if you can or cannot do it.
387
00:26:01.059 --> 00:26:04.519
But anyways, yeah, I was not expecting any of the
388
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.869
things that I feel have been happening as of late,
389
00:26:09.609 --> 00:26:15.130
so quickly. And maybe it's not quick at all. It's
390
00:26:15.170 --> 00:26:20.390
right on time. But when I say that this year
391
00:26:20.470 --> 00:26:27.619
has been really hard and I'm still trudging along, I'm
392
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:32.700
still dealing with a lot of the same things, if
393
00:26:32.740 --> 00:26:37.920
you will. I'm not claiming to have anything figured out
394
00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:43.569
or imply that, you know, things that are happening are
395
00:26:43.609 --> 00:26:48.390
like magic, like it's magic happening. But I really, truly
396
00:26:48.430 --> 00:26:50.279
at the end of the day, I feel that there
397
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:56.690
is a lot of things that I've discovered and I
398
00:26:56.730 --> 00:27:02.160
wanted this episode to be a reminder to not only me,
399
00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:04.779
sometimes I need to be reminded and say things out
400
00:27:04.819 --> 00:27:07.339
loud so that I can remember what it has been like,
401
00:27:07.819 --> 00:27:11.789
but for all of us that listen, is that anything
402
00:27:11.849 --> 00:27:16.769
is possible. Like literally anything is possible if we decide
403
00:27:17.390 --> 00:27:21.579
to give ourselves the permission that we need to just start,
404
00:27:21.650 --> 00:27:26.079
like starting small. For me, like starting this podcast was
405
00:27:26.230 --> 00:27:30.200
my way of starting small. And then I was able to,
406
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.519
once I was able to use this podcast to me
407
00:27:33.660 --> 00:27:36.640
is truly like therapy. It's therapy for me. I've actually
408
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.799
had a couple of listeners reach out to me and
409
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.759
tell me that this podcast can almost be therapy to them,
410
00:27:41.819 --> 00:27:46.359
which I think is so wild. I would not actually
411
00:27:46.660 --> 00:27:50.640
think that from the listener's standpoint, but I so appreciate that.
412
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:53.650
And that actually makes me want to cry when I
413
00:27:53.690 --> 00:27:58.150
hear stuff like that, but starting small, right? Taking care
414
00:27:58.170 --> 00:28:02.130
of ourselves, whatever that is. If there's one thing that
415
00:28:02.170 --> 00:28:05.829
you can do for yourself tomorrow to do something better
416
00:28:05.890 --> 00:28:08.210
than what you did today, that is a step in
417
00:28:08.250 --> 00:28:11.990
the right direction. And when we are taking care of ourselves, right?
418
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:15.559
When we are working our minds, our bodies, and our
419
00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:20.309
souls synchronistically, is that a word? I don't even know.
420
00:28:20.450 --> 00:28:22.269
I just made it up. Put it in the Angela
421
00:28:22.309 --> 00:28:24.250
definition of, I don't know. And I don't care if
422
00:28:24.289 --> 00:28:28.349
it's a word, but we have to give ourselves permission
423
00:28:28.430 --> 00:28:31.009
to do these things. And when we are living in
424
00:28:31.029 --> 00:28:34.650
alignment in that way, I feel like we do see
425
00:28:34.750 --> 00:28:38.009
these little signs and synchronicities that show up, but we
426
00:28:38.130 --> 00:28:40.329
have to be ready and we have to be able
427
00:28:40.390 --> 00:28:43.230
to be open to receiving them because it's They are
428
00:28:43.289 --> 00:28:46.940
happening around us every day, all day. We're just not
429
00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:48.839
always open to it. And I think that there's a
430
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:51.720
reason for that. And if there is one thing about
431
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:53.859
this episode that I want you to learn is that
432
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:59.289
I full heartedly, I'm not changing the podcast back to
433
00:28:59.329 --> 00:29:02.950
the focus within, so don't get, we're okay. But it
434
00:29:03.049 --> 00:29:04.910
is a part of who I am. I think that
435
00:29:05.470 --> 00:29:10.930
that was why I'm still sitting here today, still in
436
00:29:10.970 --> 00:29:16.150
the podcasting space, is because that was birthed out of
437
00:29:16.190 --> 00:29:20.150
a place of learning how to take care of myself better.
438
00:29:20.170 --> 00:29:25.569
And here we are. So another thing I wanted to
439
00:29:25.829 --> 00:29:30.380
add as well, just to kind of leave you with
440
00:29:32.380 --> 00:29:36.279
what part of this message, what part of the Let
441
00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:42.960
Them Know podcast do you come back for? I think
442
00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:47.529
that the hope and possibility of having these conversations or
443
00:29:47.609 --> 00:29:53.279
learning something new about something is always... meant to serve
444
00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:57.240
us in that moment and beyond. So we don't have
445
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:00.440
to have everything figured out to be in this place
446
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.180
of alignment, if you will. Sometimes it finds us when
447
00:30:04.220 --> 00:30:07.819
we start showing up for ourselves. So what is something, again,
448
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:12.180
that you can do to show up for yourself so
449
00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:15.700
that you can start to maybe notice a lot of
450
00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:19.269
these things and realize that I think they really are
451
00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:24.769
set to remind us of like, you are here for something.
452
00:30:24.869 --> 00:30:29.769
You are meant to experience something, whether it is a job,
453
00:30:29.910 --> 00:30:33.369
whether it is a relationship, whether it is with your family,
454
00:30:33.789 --> 00:30:37.650
with your friends. We all have something so special and
455
00:30:37.769 --> 00:30:41.859
unique that is just to us that cannot be duplicated.
456
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.440
And it is our job to find what that is
457
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:47.400
and share it with the world. And so I hope
458
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:51.190
that you are able to notice the things that are
459
00:30:51.250 --> 00:30:55.299
pointing you towards your own path and putting you into
460
00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:57.539
the perfect space for you to open yourself up to
461
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:03.039
the opportunities to bring in the things that your heart desires.
462
00:31:05.309 --> 00:31:11.269
That was deep, guys. Sometimes it's so funny when you're
463
00:31:11.789 --> 00:31:15.220
doing these episodes by yourself and I kind of just
464
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:18.069
like go into this headspace and I promise you I
465
00:31:18.230 --> 00:31:21.009
will probably be done with this recording and be like,
466
00:31:21.029 --> 00:31:23.049
I have no idea how I just talked for as
467
00:31:23.069 --> 00:31:26.750
long as I did, but here we are. Yeah. So anyways,
468
00:31:26.890 --> 00:31:28.470
I'm going to keep this one short. That's all I
469
00:31:28.609 --> 00:31:30.589
really wanted to come on here just to do a
470
00:31:30.609 --> 00:31:33.549
little pep talk, give a little pep talk and peptides.
471
00:31:34.529 --> 00:31:38.299
But yeah, I'm... I will be having my friend Chris
472
00:31:38.539 --> 00:31:42.880
on the podcast here soon to dive deeper into the
473
00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:46.299
peptide world. But for anybody that's curious, I did say
474
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:51.000
he is like, have them text me. He's an open book.
475
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:55.420
He's an amazing person. Honestly, he's one of the best
476
00:31:55.460 --> 00:31:57.589
human beings that I've ever met in my life. I
477
00:31:57.609 --> 00:32:01.670
will never stop talking about him for everything that he
478
00:32:01.730 --> 00:32:06.339
has offered in terms of guidance, support, motivation, inspiration, all
479
00:32:06.380 --> 00:32:08.259
of the things. So I'm going to be sure to
480
00:32:08.299 --> 00:32:11.079
put his contact information in the show notes here. If
481
00:32:11.099 --> 00:32:15.119
you are interested in learning more about these peptides, again,
482
00:32:15.769 --> 00:32:19.650
separate podcast to dive way deeper in it. But I
483
00:32:19.809 --> 00:32:21.569
thought that it was important for me to talk about
484
00:32:21.609 --> 00:32:23.690
it because it is my real life and I'm telling
485
00:32:23.710 --> 00:32:26.839
you guys what is happening, especially when it comes to
486
00:32:26.900 --> 00:32:30.480
a solo episode like this. So Yeah, I just really
487
00:32:30.509 --> 00:32:36.869
have so much gratitude for what has been happening in
488
00:32:37.230 --> 00:32:41.569
my world, what has been happening with this podcast. The feedback,
489
00:32:41.589 --> 00:32:45.150
like I said, has been fantastic. And again, I don't
490
00:32:45.269 --> 00:32:49.089
do this for any feedback at all while I appreciate it,
491
00:32:49.430 --> 00:32:52.390
of course. This is not meant to just serve my
492
00:32:52.589 --> 00:32:57.000
ego by any means. I really feel called to use
493
00:32:57.059 --> 00:33:01.599
my voice in the world and to have conversations or
494
00:33:01.779 --> 00:33:04.519
if it's just my own inner thoughts of what I
495
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:07.839
am feeling in any given moment. God has made it
496
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.299
abundantly clear that this is where I am supposed to
497
00:33:11.339 --> 00:33:16.349
be and I am not going anywhere. So yeah, I
498
00:33:16.450 --> 00:33:22.180
am full of gratitude. Another trip around the sun. it's wild.
499
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.480
It's really wild. But at the end of the day,
500
00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:29.920
I feel ready. I feel clearer. I feel more grounded.
501
00:33:29.940 --> 00:33:33.890
I feel definitely open to all of the possibilities that
502
00:33:34.630 --> 00:33:38.589
I'm already living in. And I wanted this episode to
503
00:33:38.650 --> 00:33:42.430
be a reminder to you to just pay attention to
504
00:33:42.470 --> 00:33:46.000
what is showing up for you. I feel like you
505
00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:49.980
have your own vision, you have your own dreams and goals,
506
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:51.960
and those were given to you for a reason. I
507
00:33:52.700 --> 00:33:56.269
promise you the small things that we do every single
508
00:33:56.329 --> 00:34:00.190
day matter. And the more that we are open and
509
00:34:00.369 --> 00:34:03.470
showing up for ourselves and paying attention to what is
510
00:34:03.569 --> 00:34:07.809
showing up for you, that these are our reminders that
511
00:34:07.849 --> 00:34:11.340
we're already on our way to what is next and
512
00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:14.239
what is meant for us. So Thank you guys for
513
00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:17.699
listening as always. Like I said, I will be leaving
514
00:34:17.820 --> 00:34:20.769
Chris's information in the show notes if you're interested in that.
515
00:34:20.809 --> 00:34:24.610
But otherwise, I hope you guys are having a great week.
516
00:34:25.090 --> 00:34:27.750
I cannot wait to talk to you guys in next
517
00:34:27.849 --> 00:34:30.929
week's episode. Be sure to follow, like, share, do all
518
00:34:30.969 --> 00:34:33.579
the things. If you yourself would like to be a
519
00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:37.340
guest on the Let Em Know podcast, please reach out,
520
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:41.260
send me a message. I am happy to have you. Also,
521
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:44.940
if you are somebody that's interested in starting your own podcast,
522
00:34:44.980 --> 00:34:50.190
sometimes I forget that I'm wearing multiple hats, Everly, you'll
523
00:34:50.210 --> 00:34:54.050
be noticing some new changes over at Ever So Everly.
524
00:34:55.150 --> 00:34:58.550
We are just getting started and I mean, I am
525
00:34:58.610 --> 00:35:03.150
ready to take this to the moon. My show is
526
00:35:03.210 --> 00:35:07.159
my show, but giving other people an opportunity to create
527
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:11.860
what they have in them is so much more important
528
00:35:12.300 --> 00:35:17.059
than I probably ever thought I would. I don't know.
529
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:21.199
It's all happening ever so everly. Definitely if you're interested
530
00:35:21.260 --> 00:35:23.570
in starting your own show, I'd be happy to chat
531
00:35:23.590 --> 00:35:27.510
with you about that as well. Love you guys so much.
532
00:35:28.230 --> 00:35:35.289
I will see you in next week's episode. I don't
533
00:35:35.329 --> 00:35:40.519
care what you say I'll do it anyway I really
534
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:41.039
don't care
