1
00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:06.280
Good morning, and welcome back to another edition of the Shift.
2
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.359
We are several days into the third quarter, several days
3
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.720
into the month of July, and we have a phenomenal
4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:19.359
guest that's with us on today, Miss Natasha Alan. I
5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:23.239
have known her for many years and she is a
6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.480
phenomenal woman, phenomenal business woman, but also an educator in
7
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:31.359
the health and wellness space. And as we have now
8
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:35.240
thrust it into the third quarter, as an entrepreneur, I
9
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.799
think it's so important. As we're building our wealth, we
10
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.640
want to make sure our health is where it needs
11
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.600
to be as well. So, without further ado, I would
12
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.479
like to welcome Miss Natasha. Thank you for joining us today.
13
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:48.759
Thank you so much for having me on today.
14
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.000
Absolutely so tell our listeners the name of your business
15
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:54.520
and why you got started.
16
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.240
So the name of my business is called Nurture Bynatasha
17
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.920
because that's what Natasha do, nurture And the reason I
18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.239
got started because I seen that in the nailcare industry,
19
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:11.760
health industry, holistic industry, that there was a lack of entrepreneurs,
20
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.760
you know, dealing a lot with the senior community. So
21
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.040
I deal with a lot of the community and the
22
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.519
senior facilities and with that, you know, they can't get out,
23
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.719
they can't get around and be mobile, and so I
24
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.480
go into a lot of the facilities I pamper you know,
25
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.560
women as well, but mainly my main focus is the
26
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.239
seniors to nurture and to pamper them and to help
27
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.400
them with their cognitive level as far as their memory
28
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.000
and things like that. With different avenues in the holistic industry.
29
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.120
Absolutely, and so you know, thank you for sharing the backdrop.
30
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.200
When we think about the shift, right the name of
31
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.359
the show is called the Shift in Your Your business
32
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.439
is all wrapped around nurturing specifically for elders, but also
33
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.840
women nurturing by Natasha. When you think about nurturing, how
34
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.359
can we as entrepreneurs make sure we have that to
35
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.680
be a fiber of our business models and make sure
36
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.599
that we're nurturing ourselves so we can be healthy to
37
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:10.520
build the business.
38
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:11.319
First.
39
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.599
I think that each and every day you should always
40
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.039
have your handy dandy pencil to pencil yourself in each
41
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.199
and every day to give yourself five minutes, ten minutes,
42
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.280
and then to make it become a lifestyle every day
43
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.199
because with all the hustle and bustle and things going on.
44
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:30.199
We can tend as women to burn ourselves out where
45
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.719
nurtures by design, and so we don't take enough time
46
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.080
out for ourselves because we're moms, we're aunties, we're caregivers,
47
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.560
we're so many things, and we're pulled and tugged on
48
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.840
in different directions.
49
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.000
And so taking that time out of your day.
50
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.680
If it's five minutes when you get in the door,
51
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.560
ten minutes of taking that time before you go to bed,
52
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.680
to eve a journal or whatever that looks like for
53
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.280
you in the midst of your self care, even down
54
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.919
to eating healthy and putting the right supplements in your
55
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.840
body each and every day, will help you to definitely
56
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.360
to prosper every single day and to give.
57
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.360
Your best absolutely. What are some ways you talked about
58
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.759
eating habits. What are some ways we can shift this
59
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.960
third quarter and have some healthier eating habits as we're
60
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.840
building our businesses, as we're building our careers, as we're
61
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.680
shifting into this new season. What are some and not
62
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.759
saying that you're a nutritionist, but what are some health
63
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.120
practices that you may have even implemented as far as
64
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.840
making sure you have a balanced, I don't want to
65
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.680
say violenced diet, but just eating healthy. What are some
66
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:27.879
suggestions you can recommend.
67
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:32.360
So some suggestions that I can truly recommend is mail prepping,
68
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.120
because oftentimes we get tired of eating the same things
69
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:36.080
day in and day out.
70
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:37.400
You know you're coming in.
71
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.439
You know it's summer now, but it could be winterfall,
72
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.520
whatever it's for seasons.
73
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:42.560
That it is.
74
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.800
You know, you don't know really what it is that
75
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.159
you want. You're tied of eating the same things. So
76
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.319
I find if you mail prep and kind of map
77
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.439
out what it is that you're going to do, keep
78
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.919
healthy snacks in the car that way. You know, most
79
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.520
of us we get in the car and we get
80
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.879
off from work or from a long day's task or
81
00:03:58.879 --> 00:03:59.479
working out or.
82
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:00.680
Whatever your day it may look like.
83
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.719
So if you have more healthier choices available, then I
84
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.400
feel that we'll make healthier choices to make our life
85
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.400
more longevity along the way in the midst of the
86
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.639
things that we do on day to day without eating
87
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.079
habits as well as our supplements of getting the ninety
88
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.040
central nutrients inside of your system every single day, because
89
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.560
as we know, the ground is depleted and so definitely
90
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.839
you know, doing your homework or what nutritional supplements that
91
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.319
work best for you and your family to put those
92
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.399
things in your system.
93
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.079
Absolutely, And I think what you touched on about mel
94
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.279
prep and I think that's important because as we're building
95
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.319
our business, as we're building with intentionality, we have to
96
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.439
have that same intentionality and shift it into our eating
97
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.759
habits and preparing for the week. And then you talked
98
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.680
about certain nutritional nutrients that we should need. What would
99
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:52.839
you say the top five are?
100
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.759
I would say a great multi vitamin and definitely do
101
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.279
your research on a multi vitamin because not everyone is
102
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.120
made one and the same. You want to definitely make
103
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.920
sure it is suiting your needs and getting those in
104
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.519
your omegas, your officials and all of those and it's
105
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.199
companies out there that you don't have to buy the
106
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:19.759
whole pharmacy, right and so doing your due diligence in
107
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.439
the midst of seeing which one's right for you, as
108
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.560
well as always consulting with your doctor to seeing what
109
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.839
goes along with what you're already taking as well.
110
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.720
Now as we have shifted again into the third quarter,
111
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.079
I think making sure we have that personal downtime for
112
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.959
ourselves is super important. That goes along with what your
113
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.759
company is called nurture. By Natasha Nurturing ourselves. You have
114
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:50.079
a scrub right that can help anyone nurture themselves. Talk
115
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.480
a little bit about this custom scrub that you made,
116
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.879
and then talk about here where listeners can find it.
117
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.879
So we make some hold, let's six scrubs. So it's
118
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.279
not just any scrub that we cultivate. These are healing
119
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:08.040
scrubs that has different herbs and different spices that's right
120
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.720
in your kitchen or different things that great grandmad used
121
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.160
to use that we've gotten so far away from that.
122
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.600
It's healing like ginger.
123
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.920
We use ginger, we use rosemary, We use hibiscus, and
124
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.079
a host of other different essential ools as well as
125
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.120
herbal teas and things that we infuse into our products
126
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:28.480
with our tensre machine.
127
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:29.279
We use that to.
128
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.519
Give you the raw of the you know, the ginger
129
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.680
of infusing it into the ools and everything that will
130
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.839
help it to give the very best. So different things
131
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.079
that help with sidic nerve issues, people that have authortis
132
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.439
and a lot of different inflammation as such as eczema
133
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:45.879
and all of that.
134
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.439
So it's not just something.
135
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.279
That just is blended to just make your skin feel
136
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.759
good topically. But you know, with it going into your bloodstream.
137
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.879
It takes twenty one twenty twenty four seconds, twenty six seconds,
138
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.480
twenty four to twenty six seconds for it to go
139
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.079
on to your blae And so we keep those things
140
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.759
in mind when we're inside the lab and cultivating the
141
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.480
different sugar scrubs as well as the Webshae butters.
142
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:09.959
We do host.
143
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.279
Workshops where you can make your own and play with
144
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.040
Vali Central oils as well as our blends. But all
145
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.439
of it is located right on our website at Nurture
146
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.279
by Natasha dot com.
147
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.519
You can find it all there.
148
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:22.680
Now.
149
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.360
Listen, you said, when y'all are in the lab, y'all
150
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.720
are very conscious about what you're putting into the scrubs,
151
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:32.759
what you're putting into it, because it's going to obviously
152
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.040
someone is going to use it and it's going to
153
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:35.600
go on their skin. But you said, it's not just
154
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.319
about topically making your skin feel good. It's about how
155
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.399
it's going to help shift things. You talked about. Inflammation
156
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.439
you talked about and I think that's a big one
157
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.600
when it comes to inflammation, and your scrub can help
158
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.120
in multiple levels. But something else hitting when I heard
159
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.319
you say y'all are in the lab. So that made
160
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.360
me think about the labset of our mind. So talk
161
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.240
about that, you're an entrepreneur. What has to go on
162
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.600
in our mindset, the lab of our mind every single
163
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.839
day that keeps you going despite the odds, despite the challenges.
164
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.639
How do you keep yourself motivated as an entrepreneur?
165
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.560
That's entrepreneurial, keep myself motivated.
166
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.839
I love the smiles and the joy that it brings,
167
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.000
the way that it makes people feel. Some people come
168
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:23.560
in sluggish, and you know, it's kind of sort of
169
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:25.959
therapy because they sit and they talk and I listen
170
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.519
and we do a give and take sometimes where they
171
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.399
listen to some of the things that I have to
172
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.399
say after listening to them. But it's a great outlet
173
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.639
where some people don't feel seen or heard, and so
174
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.639
it's a great place to just wusagh as I call it,
175
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.960
to just relax. If you want silence and I won't talk.
176
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.000
If you you want to talk and chatter, then you know,
177
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:51.159
we chatter as well. But definitely the educational piece of
178
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.120
sitting and being able to educate them about, you know,
179
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.120
what goes on in your body and what the dudes
180
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:59.000
and the don'ts of natural nail care as well as
181
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.440
some remedy that could definitely aid in what it is
182
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.039
that they're doing inside of their body and give some
183
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.080
some resolutions to it. So maybe if not that day
184
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.279
of getting a service or even coming in to a workshop,
185
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.440
I definitely follow back up with you to get the
186
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.759
answers or do my best, my due diligence to get
187
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.440
the answers to help you to find a solution or
188
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.200
some happy medium and what it is that you're looking
189
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:23.120
for now.
190
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.799
You mentioned about workshop, What type of workshops do you offer?
191
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.559
So we do sip and create workshops where you can
192
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.879
come in. It comes with food, so you get to
193
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.080
come and you know, embark on the different foods that
194
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.039
are there as well as you get to make a
195
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.279
four ounce sugar scrub or with shade butter and to
196
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.360
do those things. We have several four to five different
197
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.559
essential ols that are there that you can play with
198
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.240
and you'll learn about others as well while you're there,
199
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.000
of different essential ols and the benefits of what they
200
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.840
can do, as well as different herbs and how you
201
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.159
can pull those into what you can do and the
202
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.840
things that's right in your kitchen. Far as your avocado oil,
203
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.159
your gray seed oils, and all of those of how
204
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.000
you can put certain things on your body and knowing
205
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.960
how they will absorb in your body will be affected.
206
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.480
And I think that's so key because so you're talking about,
207
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.000
you know, topically, obviously you talked about the gray seed oil,
208
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.159
olive oil and how it's gonna absorb in the body.
209
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.000
And I think it's the same thing with the mindset
210
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.840
every single day. What are we absorbing in our mind
211
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.919
right as an entrepreneur as we're building, we're you know
212
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.159
now in the third quarter of the year. Fourth quarters
213
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.559
won't be here before we know it. We have to
214
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.080
not only be conscious of what we're putting on our body,
215
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:39.960
but what we're putting in our mindset. What are we
216
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.279
absorbing in our mind right? What are we taking in
217
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.559
This show is called the Shift for a reason because
218
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.120
we have to shift our level of thinking to a
219
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.039
whole nother place, right, you know, we can't continue to
220
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.519
operate in the same fashion as we have in the past.
221
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.519
And so as you think about your business Nurture by Natasha,
222
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.240
where do you see your company going?
223
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:03.600
Where do you see it's shifting to?
224
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.320
Shifting into more senior communities as well as wellness in
225
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.120
the workplace, because I feel like you know, so many
226
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.919
of us we Monday comes around and.
227
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.559
Be like, oh lordy, here comes Monday all over again.
228
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.759
And if you got into your career, sometimes we have
229
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:23.559
to remember where and why we stepped into what we
230
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.360
stepped into and knowing when to shift out of it.
231
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.840
And so in the midst of that we can become
232
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:32.039
burnt out in the mist. And so taking that time
233
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:36.200
and shifting into the workplace and meeting you at your
234
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:40.120
workplace and having a wellness workroom where you know I
235
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.279
can come in and pamper you on your lunch break.
236
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.600
That's what we're gearing towards is getting into the workplace
237
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.879
and just shifting around town and to come into the
238
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.200
workplace to help you just to feel relaxed and just
239
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.720
relieved on the thirty minutes or thirty minutes can do
240
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.799
a whole lot, or even just ten minutes on your
241
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.559
lunch break, because we got to feed ourselves in the
242
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:03.200
midst throughout our day as well. And so that's my
243
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:08.159
ultimate goal is just to according to others in the workplace,
244
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.399
especially our teachers, because teachers become so burnt out, and
245
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.519
you hear so many teachers of yearning towards when Christmas
246
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.240
break and spring break and all of those things, and I.
247
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:18.720
Think more of that.
248
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.279
If they weren't burnt out and wasn't getting the support
249
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.919
that they needed and having that wellbeing time throughout their
250
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.759
day to help them to recharge, I think that would
251
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:30.759
be very beneficial.
252
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.960
So I'm loving this whole wellness in the workplace, okay,
253
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.080
But but I think it's also with what you're doing
254
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.200
in the elder community as well, because I know that's
255
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.240
your love, that's your passion, that's your heart. You've been
256
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.039
doing that for some time, and sometimes the elders in
257
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.480
the community are overlooked and you are you have been
258
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.600
that shooting star for them every time you go into
259
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.399
one of the facilities and pamper the seniors. But now
260
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.679
you're shifting and you're going to add on another component
261
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.039
wellness in the workplace. I mean, I'm thinking about entrepreneurs
262
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.080
that you know, may have a brick and mortar location,
263
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.720
they need a thirty minute break, So that can grow
264
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.399
to so many levels at you know, places of employment,
265
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.080
but also where entrepreneurs have their their their office at
266
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.440
right there's so many levels to how you can grow
267
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:23.600
wellness in the workplace and what also it says to me, Okay,
268
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.360
you know how they'll use the word respit typically in
269
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.360
a setting where if it's a housing program or someone
270
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.879
is a legal guardian and they need a break, well
271
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.879
having a respite in mid day mid day respite care. Right,
272
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.679
that's really what Nurture Bymatas will be offering. Right, Yes,
273
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:43.960
that's what you will be offering. So for those that's
274
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.039
listening to the show and you feel you really need
275
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.879
some nurturing, you feel that you need a respite, you
276
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.200
feel that you need a break. Maybe your shift is
277
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.519
if you've been going hard all the first six months
278
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.240
of the year and now not only do you need
279
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.480
a respite break for a moment, you just want to
280
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.120
build it in to the fiber of your weekly schedule,
281
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:05.120
of your monthly schedule. Right, we're not talking about health
282
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:08.399
and wellness where it's just a one time thing. It
283
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.679
is something that will be built into our daily schedule.
284
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.080
For myself personally, I started towards the end of April
285
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.639
going into May, and I have it in my phone.
286
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:23.600
I started creating affirmations of how I want to transform
287
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.559
my health my wellness overall, right, and I was also
288
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.799
working on losing weight. And now I'm gonna be honest
289
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.440
with you. I didn't do a lot of heavy working
290
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.360
out in May, but there was a goal that I
291
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.600
wanted to achieve, and I shocked myself. I weighed myself
292
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.200
and I lost ten pounds. But you know what I
293
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:42.679
attribute that to because it wasn't rigorous exercise. I did
294
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.720
shift how I was eating, and I made sure I
295
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.840
was conscious enough not to eat a lot past six pm.
296
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.759
But I'm gonna tell you the other things that I
297
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.000
think that really helped. I made a thirty day affirmation
298
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:57.440
schedule last month, well in May as well as in
299
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:01.639
the month of June, and conscious about reading those affirmations.
300
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.960
It was all about my health and wellness transformation. And
301
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:06.840
two days ago I was like, hey, let me, let
302
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.919
me just weigh myself. And I didn't think I had
303
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:13.879
lost anything, but I looked and it said I lost
304
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:14.399
ten pounds.
305
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:16.200
In fact, the app that I had used, it said
306
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.240
is this the same person? That's what it said it alert.
307
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:20.240
I said, oh my gosh.
308
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.000
So there's power in affirmations. There's power when you shift
309
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.840
your thinking about what you want to do. So I
310
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.960
re did my thirty day affirmations for the month of
311
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.799
July of affirmations of when I'm saying to myself.
312
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.919
But along with the affirmations.
313
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.000
What I carved out was also not a thirty day
314
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.720
meal plan, but like a suggested plan on my workout regimen,
315
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.240
which is really walking. I love the walk, and then
316
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.360
it's also high protein.
317
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:46.519
High fiber.
318
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.720
So that's what I'm really focusing on all throughout the
319
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.000
month of July. But the reason why I want to
320
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.679
talk about the affirmations and I want to get your
321
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.279
perspective on this as well, because like I said, it
322
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.840
wasn't a lot of rigorous exercise that I was doing.
323
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.320
It really was a lot of war look when I could.
324
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.159
But the biggest thing that I changed was not eating
325
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.360
past six and doing my affirmations every day. And the
326
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.840
affirmation to was specifically about was specifically about my health
327
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.799
and wellness. It wasn't about new clients, it wasn't about
328
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.519
making more money. It was specifically exclusively about my health
329
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:20.879
and wellness and making a change.
330
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:21.919
What are your thoughts on that.
331
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.840
I feel like, you know, it starts with the core,
332
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.600
and a lot of things in our core is our
333
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.279
gut area. And so if our gut's not right, then
334
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:32.320
definitely our mindset is definitely not going.
335
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:32.759
To be right.
336
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.159
Because most of the time, if your stomach's upset, you're
337
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:37.759
not gonna sit still, You're gonna be all over the place.
338
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.679
And so definitely getting that core of us correct and
339
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.559
having that mindset correct, it's going to allow us to
340
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.559
think more clearly. And I'm always one I sleep with
341
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.240
pen and paper. I'm always writing out my thoughts and
342
00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:52.320
doing all of that. But I find when you don't
343
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.679
get enough sleep, or you know, you don't eat the
344
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.360
right nutrient nutrients that you need to eat. And so
345
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.679
I've been putting more protein and things into my diet,
346
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.880
letting the carbs go and ben on I'm on a
347
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.480
thirty day challenge as well myself in the midst of well,
348
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.799
it really is sixty days. It's sixty days with the
349
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.599
company that I'm with, and we're doing a reset challenge,
350
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.319
and so you know, taking the time to reset the
351
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.079
way that you eat and taking the first thirty days
352
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.000
and doing that and dumping out all the sugars and
353
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.119
all the things that we're so accustomed to, and even
354
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:30.880
taking a look at you know, I didn't even know,
355
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.720
like with pancake mixed and had sugar in it, And
356
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.480
so a lot of times we want these fluffy waffles
357
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.359
and fluffy pancakes and things like that, and they're not
358
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:42.480
really giving our body the nutrients that it needs. And
359
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:44.519
before we even get out the door and start our day,
360
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.079
and they tell us breakfast is the most important part,
361
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.759
we're already putting a whole bunch of chemicals and things
362
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.279
on our body as well as into our body. And
363
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.559
so really you start to look at you know, what
364
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.240
is it that you're putting in your temple long before
365
00:17:57.640 --> 00:17:59.599
you know you get out the door, and even before
366
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:01.200
you get out the bed, because many of us we
367
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.559
get on social media, we're scrolling as we're laying in bed,
368
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:07.279
and so all those things matter of how you're gonna
369
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.480
shift your day. And so just changing just those little
370
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.160
things when you open up your eyes of how your
371
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:15.519
day is gonna be mapped out, it's super important, I
372
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:20.440
think as well, which enters into the windows of your temple.
373
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:25.200
Shifting your day starts from the morning. That's what I'm
374
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.200
getting from you. I got so many things from what
375
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.319
you say. You started off by talking about your gut health,
376
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:31.759
What are you putting in your temple? What are you
377
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:33.440
put it in your body? Then you talked about when
378
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.599
you wake up in the morning. Social media is right there.
379
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:41.000
So guarden our minds, garden our ears we're hearing sometimes
380
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.160
in the morning. I'm very insensitive as well. I don't
381
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.000
want to even hear a lot of noise in the morning.
382
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.920
I definitely don't want to hear nothing negative. Sometimes I
383
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.559
just want quiet, or either I go on YouTube and
384
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.559
I'll put on waterfall music. Have the waterfall music to
385
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.359
set the tone in the morning or if I'm doing
386
00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:01.319
my prayers or whatever. But the first thing we hear
387
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:06.319
also can set the tone for the day, right, because
388
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.319
what we hear it has a wavelength, it's a sound wave, right,
389
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.160
and that sound wave gets into our ear, gets into
390
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.119
our psyche, gets into our minds. So be conscious in
391
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:19.160
this third quarter on how you're gonna shift your morning,
392
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.839
how were you gonna start your morning and create affirmation,
393
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:25.799
set the tone for the day. Watch what you're gonna see,
394
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.400
Watch what you're taking in, what you're listening to. Right,
395
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:32.640
And so I thought that this was a perfect conversation
396
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.559
as we're still at the beginning of July to have
397
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:40.559
this conversation about shifting in a healthier lifestyle. And again,
398
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:44.079
this conversation isn't about just a one time thing or
399
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.640
we have to go somewhere super extravagant to have a respect.
400
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:50.799
Let's talk about that. Because I love nature, I love walking.
401
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.480
I could go to a park and I feel like
402
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.680
I had a respite. Talk about how what's around you
403
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.119
or just in your environment, in your home, because sometimes
404
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:01.240
people are running away from their home. How can you
405
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:04.160
create your home to be arrested. How can you create
406
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:06.559
the natural environments around you to be arrested?
407
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:07.400
Can you speak on that?
408
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.279
Yeah, so I feel like, you know, just as a mom,
409
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.079
when you think of you know, having a baby, and
410
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:17.119
you're trying to set the tone back for you, right
411
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.200
your valley is out of balance and you're just trying
412
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.240
to get back.
413
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:23.000
To what you know, knowing your norm to be.
414
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.960
And so for me, it's having that serenity sanctuary place
415
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:27.519
in your home.
416
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:29.279
You know, when my daughter was in.
417
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.799
School, I would say, you know, give me five minutes,
418
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:33.880
don't just flat on me. I need just five minutes
419
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.880
to myself to have some time. But also your bathroom
420
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:41.039
can become your serenity sanctuary area. Maybe you have a
421
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.200
special place in your area office.
422
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.559
You know, hang a sign. They hang it out on
423
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:46.119
the hotel.
424
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:47.920
Why can't you have one in the midst of your
425
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:51.000
castle and say, do not deserve This is my area,
426
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:52.480
This is my time for me.
427
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:53.440
It's my bathroom.
428
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:55.759
You know, they get mad at me cause I take
429
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.440
a three hour bath. And if I listen to podcasts,
430
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.559
whatever I'm listening to in there, that's just my time
431
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.759
and my spa area in my home is my area of.
432
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:06.559
Just to have that time.
433
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.359
And of course my car because you know, when you're
434
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.599
riding along in the car, I'm not one to listen
435
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:13.039
much to the radio. I like quietness when I'm in
436
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:16.240
the car with people talking all day. So my car
437
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:19.440
becomes my serenity sanctuary. So I feel like, find what
438
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:23.000
really works for you and teach your family or those
439
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:25.839
around you to respect that space when you need to
440
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.640
go there. Even in the workplace, sometimes coworkers can get
441
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.039
on your nerves and you just need that moment to
442
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.799
walk away. I work in the salon with different hairstylads
443
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.359
sometimes in certain days of my week, and sometimes I
444
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:42.519
just go walk all I love to walk and if
445
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:44.319
you can't get out the heat is too much or
446
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.759
it's too cold out, you can always just get a
447
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.000
chair and just put on some aerobics and sit in
448
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.000
your chair. If your body doesn't move quite like someone else,
449
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.759
that's find what works for you to get your cardio
450
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:58.400
in that serenity time.
451
00:21:58.880 --> 00:21:59.440
And it's.
452
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:05.920
Okay, absolutely nothing. That is something super essential. And many
453
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.000
of us, especially as women, we find it guilty because
454
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:11.559
I got it. I don't feel you know that I've
455
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.039
done something today. I don't feel important today because I
456
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.640
didn't accomplish anything. It is absolutely okay for the body
457
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.359
to rest because if you don't rest it, I will
458
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:22.559
sit you down to rest it for you. And so
459
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:25.079
take that time because it definitely play on your organs.
460
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:29.599
A lot of things with blood pressure and you know,
461
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:32.599
diabetes and things like that. You know it all has
462
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.480
to do with your stress levels and not taking that time.
463
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.359
And so our body gives us signals the same way
464
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.880
you get a fever. Your body's speaking to you because
465
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.960
it needs something. It needs rest and our body regenerates
466
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.160
every ninety days. So taking the time and giving it
467
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:48.839
what it needs. And you only have one temple to
468
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:50.559
live in, so you wanted to give it the best
469
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:52.519
back to you, each and every day.
470
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.039
Giving the best back to you. And as we get
471
00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.920
ready to wind down this segment, we have been talking
472
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:05.559
to Natasha Allen, CEO of Nurture By Natasha. Before we
473
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:08.359
close out, I just want you to share. I know
474
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.480
we had a business conference this year. It was Unlocked
475
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:14.519
twenty twenty six. Share what your experience was like as
476
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:16.519
we are gearing up for next year. So for those
477
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:20.880
that see the screen, you see on the far my
478
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.400
right an emblem that says I Locked twenty twenty seven.
479
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.799
Well, we have confirmed the location.
480
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.359
It's going to be at the BWI Marriott Hotel on Saturday,
481
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:33.279
April seventeenth. But Natasha, just share what did you experience
482
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:34.880
from this year's business conference.
483
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:37.440
It was just mind blowing.
484
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:39.880
It was so many moving parts in a good way
485
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:43.279
that was going on. Of the speakers that shared, the
486
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:46.640
people that you rub arms with, of just networking with.
487
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:50.119
The breakout grounds were phenomenal. And it wasn't just one
488
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:52.160
of those conferences where you just get a whole bunch
489
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.400
of just block of people throwing things at you what
490
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.160
they do in their business. They actually mapped out a
491
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.319
blueprint that no matter what industry you was in, that
492
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:04.839
you can take some pointers and some notes along the
493
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:06.000
way that can.
494
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.519
For you and your business if you were going to
495
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.480
implement it or not.
496
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:17.240
But it was the energy was just amazing of just
497
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:20.680
people that came from near and far and that you
498
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:23.920
sat with, and everybody was just so friendly and lovely
499
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:26.960
and you just have to froment and no one was
500
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:29.440
afraid to share. It was like, you know, this my
501
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:32.000
business and I'm going to keep it to myself and
502
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:34.440
I don't want to, you know, help anyone else to
503
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.240
elevate and expand. And so it was some young folks
504
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.400
in the room that was just phenomenal, even to seniors
505
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:45.720
that were in the room that shared. And the connections
506
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.920
just still keep going even beyond that conference. And so
507
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:52.920
get out and time to unlock twenty twenty seven. You
508
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.359
will now truly be disappointed at all, because I'm still
509
00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:59.559
floating and still looking at my little piece of puzzle
510
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.200
paper that I had with all of my notes on
511
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.119
it and said like, okay, what else I needed?
512
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.720

Guys, rewinding down this segment, make sure you shift into
520
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:28.160
a healthier lifestyle, not just one day, one moment, but
521
00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:30.920
a lifestyle, and we're going to see you at the top.
1
00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:06.280
Good morning, and welcome back to another edition of the Shift.
2
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.359
We are several days into the third quarter, several days
3
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.720
into the month of July, and we have a phenomenal
4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:19.359
guest that's with us on today, Miss Natasha Alan. I
5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:23.239
have known her for many years and she is a
6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.480
phenomenal woman, phenomenal business woman, but also an educator in
7
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:31.359
the health and wellness space. And as we have now
8
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:35.240
thrust it into the third quarter, as an entrepreneur, I
9
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.799
think it's so important. As we're building our wealth, we
10
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.640
want to make sure our health is where it needs
11
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.600
to be as well. So, without further ado, I would
12
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.479
like to welcome Miss Natasha. Thank you for joining us today.
13
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:48.759
Thank you so much for having me on today.
14
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.000
Absolutely so tell our listeners the name of your business
15
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:54.520
and why you got started.
16
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.240
So the name of my business is called Nurture Bynatasha
17
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.920
because that's what Natasha do, nurture And the reason I
18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.239
got started because I seen that in the nailcare industry,
19
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:11.760
health industry, holistic industry, that there was a lack of entrepreneurs,
20
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.760
you know, dealing a lot with the senior community. So
21
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.040
I deal with a lot of the community and the
22
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.519
senior facilities and with that, you know, they can't get out,
23
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.719
they can't get around and be mobile, and so I
24
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.480
go into a lot of the facilities I pamper you know,
25
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.560
women as well, but mainly my main focus is the
26
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.239
seniors to nurture and to pamper them and to help
27
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.400
them with their cognitive level as far as their memory
28
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.000
and things like that. With different avenues in the holistic industry.
29
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.120
Absolutely, and so you know, thank you for sharing the backdrop.
30
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.200
When we think about the shift, right the name of
31
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.359
the show is called the Shift in Your Your business
32
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.439
is all wrapped around nurturing specifically for elders, but also
33
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.840
women nurturing by Natasha. When you think about nurturing, how
34
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.359
can we as entrepreneurs make sure we have that to
35
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.680
be a fiber of our business models and make sure
36
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.599
that we're nurturing ourselves so we can be healthy to
37
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:10.520
build the business.
38
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:11.319
First.
39
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.599
I think that each and every day you should always
40
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.039
have your handy dandy pencil to pencil yourself in each
41
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.199
and every day to give yourself five minutes, ten minutes,
42
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.280
and then to make it become a lifestyle every day
43
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.199
because with all the hustle and bustle and things going on.
44
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:30.199
We can tend as women to burn ourselves out where
45
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.719
nurtures by design, and so we don't take enough time
46
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.080
out for ourselves because we're moms, we're aunties, we're caregivers,
47
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.560
we're so many things, and we're pulled and tugged on
48
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.840
in different directions.
49
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.000
And so taking that time out of your day.
50
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.680
If it's five minutes when you get in the door,
51
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.560
ten minutes of taking that time before you go to bed,
52
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.680
to eve a journal or whatever that looks like for
53
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.280
you in the midst of your self care, even down
54
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.919
to eating healthy and putting the right supplements in your
55
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.840
body each and every day, will help you to definitely
56
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.360
to prosper every single day and to give.
57
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.360
Your best absolutely. What are some ways you talked about
58
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.759
eating habits. What are some ways we can shift this
59
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.960
third quarter and have some healthier eating habits as we're
60
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.840
building our businesses, as we're building our careers, as we're
61
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.680
shifting into this new season. What are some and not
62
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.759
saying that you're a nutritionist, but what are some health
63
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.120
practices that you may have even implemented as far as
64
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.840
making sure you have a balanced, I don't want to
65
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.680
say violenced diet, but just eating healthy. What are some
66
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:27.879
suggestions you can recommend.
67
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:32.360
So some suggestions that I can truly recommend is mail prepping,
68
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.120
because oftentimes we get tired of eating the same things
69
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:36.080
day in and day out.
70
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:37.400
You know you're coming in.
71
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.439
You know it's summer now, but it could be winterfall,
72
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.520
whatever it's for seasons.
73
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:42.560
That it is.
74
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.800
You know, you don't know really what it is that
75
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.159
you want. You're tied of eating the same things. So
76
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.319
I find if you mail prep and kind of map
77
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.439
out what it is that you're going to do, keep
78
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.919
healthy snacks in the car that way. You know, most
79
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.520
of us we get in the car and we get
80
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.879
off from work or from a long day's task or
81
00:03:58.879 --> 00:03:59.479
working out or.
82
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:00.680
Whatever your day it may look like.
83
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.719
So if you have more healthier choices available, then I
84
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.400
feel that we'll make healthier choices to make our life
85
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.400
more longevity along the way in the midst of the
86
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.639
things that we do on day to day without eating
87
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.079
habits as well as our supplements of getting the ninety
88
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.040
central nutrients inside of your system every single day, because
89
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.560
as we know, the ground is depleted and so definitely
90
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.839
you know, doing your homework or what nutritional supplements that
91
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.319
work best for you and your family to put those
92
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.399
things in your system.
93
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.079
Absolutely, And I think what you touched on about mel
94
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.279
prep and I think that's important because as we're building
95
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.319
our business, as we're building with intentionality, we have to
96
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.439
have that same intentionality and shift it into our eating
97
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.759
habits and preparing for the week. And then you talked
98
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.680
about certain nutritional nutrients that we should need. What would
99
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:52.839
you say the top five are?
100
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.759
I would say a great multi vitamin and definitely do
101
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.279
your research on a multi vitamin because not everyone is
102
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.120
made one and the same. You want to definitely make
103
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.920
sure it is suiting your needs and getting those in
104
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.519
your omegas, your officials and all of those and it's
105
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.199
companies out there that you don't have to buy the
106
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:19.759
whole pharmacy, right and so doing your due diligence in
107
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.439
the midst of seeing which one's right for you, as
108
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.560
well as always consulting with your doctor to seeing what
109
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.839
goes along with what you're already taking as well.
110
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.720
Now as we have shifted again into the third quarter,
111
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.079
I think making sure we have that personal downtime for
112
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.959
ourselves is super important. That goes along with what your
113
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.759
company is called nurture. By Natasha Nurturing ourselves. You have
114
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:50.079
a scrub right that can help anyone nurture themselves. Talk
115
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.480
a little bit about this custom scrub that you made,
116
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.879
and then talk about here where listeners can find it.
117
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.879
So we make some hold, let's six scrubs. So it's
118
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.279
not just any scrub that we cultivate. These are healing
119
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:08.040
scrubs that has different herbs and different spices that's right
120
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.720
in your kitchen or different things that great grandmad used
121
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.160
to use that we've gotten so far away from that.
122
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.600
It's healing like ginger.
123
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.920
We use ginger, we use rosemary, We use hibiscus, and
124
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.079
a host of other different essential ools as well as
125
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.120
herbal teas and things that we infuse into our products
126
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:28.480
with our tensre machine.
127
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:29.279
We use that to.
128
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.519
Give you the raw of the you know, the ginger
129
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.680
of infusing it into the ools and everything that will
130
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.839
help it to give the very best. So different things
131
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.079
that help with sidic nerve issues, people that have authortis
132
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.439
and a lot of different inflammation as such as eczema
133
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:45.879
and all of that.
134
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.439
So it's not just something.
135
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.279
That just is blended to just make your skin feel
136
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.759
good topically. But you know, with it going into your bloodstream.
137
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.879
It takes twenty one twenty twenty four seconds, twenty six seconds,
138
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.480
twenty four to twenty six seconds for it to go
139
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.079
on to your blae And so we keep those things
140
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.759
in mind when we're inside the lab and cultivating the
141
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.480
different sugar scrubs as well as the Webshae butters.
142
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:09.959
We do host.
143
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.279
Workshops where you can make your own and play with
144
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.040
Vali Central oils as well as our blends. But all
145
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.439
of it is located right on our website at Nurture
146
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.279
by Natasha dot com.
147
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.519
You can find it all there.
148
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:22.680
Now.
149
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.360
Listen, you said, when y'all are in the lab, y'all
150
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.720
are very conscious about what you're putting into the scrubs,
151
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:32.759
what you're putting into it, because it's going to obviously
152
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.040
someone is going to use it and it's going to
153
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:35.600
go on their skin. But you said, it's not just
154
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.319
about topically making your skin feel good. It's about how
155
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.399
it's going to help shift things. You talked about. Inflammation
156
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.439
you talked about and I think that's a big one
157
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.600
when it comes to inflammation, and your scrub can help
158
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.120
in multiple levels. But something else hitting when I heard
159
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.319
you say y'all are in the lab. So that made
160
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.360
me think about the labset of our mind. So talk
161
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.240
about that, you're an entrepreneur. What has to go on
162
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.600
in our mindset, the lab of our mind every single
163
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.839
day that keeps you going despite the odds, despite the challenges.
164
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.639
How do you keep yourself motivated as an entrepreneur?
165
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.560
That's entrepreneurial, keep myself motivated.
166
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.839
I love the smiles and the joy that it brings,
167
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.000
the way that it makes people feel. Some people come
168
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:23.560
in sluggish, and you know, it's kind of sort of
169
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:25.959
therapy because they sit and they talk and I listen
170
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.519
and we do a give and take sometimes where they
171
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.399
listen to some of the things that I have to
172
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.399
say after listening to them. But it's a great outlet
173
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.639
where some people don't feel seen or heard, and so
174
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.639
it's a great place to just wusagh as I call it,
175
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.960
to just relax. If you want silence and I won't talk.
176
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.000
If you you want to talk and chatter, then you know,
177
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:51.159
we chatter as well. But definitely the educational piece of
178
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.120
sitting and being able to educate them about, you know,
179
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.120
what goes on in your body and what the dudes
180
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:59.000
and the don'ts of natural nail care as well as
181
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.440
some remedy that could definitely aid in what it is
182
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.039
that they're doing inside of their body and give some
183
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.080
some resolutions to it. So maybe if not that day
184
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.279
of getting a service or even coming in to a workshop,
185
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.440
I definitely follow back up with you to get the
186
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.759
answers or do my best, my due diligence to get
187
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.440
the answers to help you to find a solution or
188
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.200
some happy medium and what it is that you're looking
189
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:23.120
for now.
190
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.799
You mentioned about workshop, What type of workshops do you offer?
191
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.559
So we do sip and create workshops where you can
192
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.879
come in. It comes with food, so you get to
193
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.080
come and you know, embark on the different foods that
194
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.039
are there as well as you get to make a
195
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.279
four ounce sugar scrub or with shade butter and to
196
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.360
do those things. We have several four to five different
197
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.559
essential ols that are there that you can play with
198
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.240
and you'll learn about others as well while you're there,
199
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.000
of different essential ols and the benefits of what they
200
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.840
can do, as well as different herbs and how you
201
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.159
can pull those into what you can do and the
202
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.840
things that's right in your kitchen. Far as your avocado oil,
203
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.159
your gray seed oils, and all of those of how
204
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.000
you can put certain things on your body and knowing
205
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.960
how they will absorb in your body will be affected.
206
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.480
And I think that's so key because so you're talking about,
207
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.000
you know, topically, obviously you talked about the gray seed oil,
208
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.159
olive oil and how it's gonna absorb in the body.
209
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.000
And I think it's the same thing with the mindset
210
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.840
every single day. What are we absorbing in our mind
211
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.919
right as an entrepreneur as we're building, we're you know
212
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.159
now in the third quarter of the year. Fourth quarters
213
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.559
won't be here before we know it. We have to
214
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.080
not only be conscious of what we're putting on our body,
215
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:39.960
but what we're putting in our mindset. What are we
216
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.279
absorbing in our mind right? What are we taking in
217
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.559
This show is called the Shift for a reason because
218
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.120
we have to shift our level of thinking to a
219
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.039
whole nother place, right, you know, we can't continue to
220
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.519
operate in the same fashion as we have in the past.
221
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.519
And so as you think about your business Nurture by Natasha,
222
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.240
where do you see your company going?
223
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:03.600
Where do you see it's shifting to?
224
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.320
Shifting into more senior communities as well as wellness in
225
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.120
the workplace, because I feel like you know, so many
226
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.919
of us we Monday comes around and.
227
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.559
Be like, oh lordy, here comes Monday all over again.
228
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.759
And if you got into your career, sometimes we have
229
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:23.559
to remember where and why we stepped into what we
230
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.360
stepped into and knowing when to shift out of it.
231
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.840
And so in the midst of that we can become
232
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:32.039
burnt out in the mist. And so taking that time
233
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:36.200
and shifting into the workplace and meeting you at your
234
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:40.120
workplace and having a wellness workroom where you know I
235
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.279
can come in and pamper you on your lunch break.
236
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.600
That's what we're gearing towards is getting into the workplace
237
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.879
and just shifting around town and to come into the
238
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.200
workplace to help you just to feel relaxed and just
239
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.720
relieved on the thirty minutes or thirty minutes can do
240
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.799
a whole lot, or even just ten minutes on your
241
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.559
lunch break, because we got to feed ourselves in the
242
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:03.200
midst throughout our day as well. And so that's my
243
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:08.159
ultimate goal is just to according to others in the workplace,
244
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.399
especially our teachers, because teachers become so burnt out, and
245
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.519
you hear so many teachers of yearning towards when Christmas
246
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.240
break and spring break and all of those things, and I.
247
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:18.720
Think more of that.
248
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.279
If they weren't burnt out and wasn't getting the support
249
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.919
that they needed and having that wellbeing time throughout their
250
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.759
day to help them to recharge, I think that would
251
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:30.759
be very beneficial.
252
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.960
So I'm loving this whole wellness in the workplace, okay,
253
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.080
But but I think it's also with what you're doing
254
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.200
in the elder community as well, because I know that's
255
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.240
your love, that's your passion, that's your heart. You've been
256
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.039
doing that for some time, and sometimes the elders in
257
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.480
the community are overlooked and you are you have been
258
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.600
that shooting star for them every time you go into
259
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.399
one of the facilities and pamper the seniors. But now
260
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.679
you're shifting and you're going to add on another component
261
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.039
wellness in the workplace. I mean, I'm thinking about entrepreneurs
262
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.080
that you know, may have a brick and mortar location,
263
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.720
they need a thirty minute break, So that can grow
264
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.399
to so many levels at you know, places of employment,
265
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.080
but also where entrepreneurs have their their their office at
266
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.440
right there's so many levels to how you can grow
267
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:23.600
wellness in the workplace and what also it says to me, Okay,
268
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.360
you know how they'll use the word respit typically in
269
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.360
a setting where if it's a housing program or someone
270
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.879
is a legal guardian and they need a break, well
271
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.879
having a respite in mid day mid day respite care. Right,
272
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.679
that's really what Nurture Bymatas will be offering. Right, Yes,
273
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:43.960
that's what you will be offering. So for those that's
274
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.039
listening to the show and you feel you really need
275
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.879
some nurturing, you feel that you need a respite, you
276
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.200
feel that you need a break. Maybe your shift is
277
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.519
if you've been going hard all the first six months
278
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.240
of the year and now not only do you need
279
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.480
a respite break for a moment, you just want to
280
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.120
build it in to the fiber of your weekly schedule,
281
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:05.120
of your monthly schedule. Right, we're not talking about health
282
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:08.399
and wellness where it's just a one time thing. It
283
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.679
is something that will be built into our daily schedule.
284
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.080
For myself personally, I started towards the end of April
285
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.639
going into May, and I have it in my phone.
286
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:23.600
I started creating affirmations of how I want to transform
287
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.559
my health my wellness overall, right, and I was also
288
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.799
working on losing weight. And now I'm gonna be honest
289
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.440
with you. I didn't do a lot of heavy working
290
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.360
out in May, but there was a goal that I
291
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.600
wanted to achieve, and I shocked myself. I weighed myself
292
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.200
and I lost ten pounds. But you know what I
293
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:42.679
attribute that to because it wasn't rigorous exercise. I did
294
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.720
shift how I was eating, and I made sure I
295
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.840
was conscious enough not to eat a lot past six pm.
296
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.759
But I'm gonna tell you the other things that I
297
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.000
think that really helped. I made a thirty day affirmation
298
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:57.440
schedule last month, well in May as well as in
299
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:01.639
the month of June, and conscious about reading those affirmations.
300
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.960
It was all about my health and wellness transformation. And
301
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:06.840
two days ago I was like, hey, let me, let
302
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.919
me just weigh myself. And I didn't think I had
303
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:13.879
lost anything, but I looked and it said I lost
304
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:14.399
ten pounds.
305
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:16.200
In fact, the app that I had used, it said
306
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.240
is this the same person? That's what it said it alert.
307
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:20.240
I said, oh my gosh.
308
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.000
So there's power in affirmations. There's power when you shift
309
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.840
your thinking about what you want to do. So I
310
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.960
re did my thirty day affirmations for the month of
311
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.799
July of affirmations of when I'm saying to myself.
312
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.919
But along with the affirmations.
313
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.000
What I carved out was also not a thirty day
314
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.720
meal plan, but like a suggested plan on my workout regimen,
315
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.240
which is really walking. I love the walk, and then
316
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.360
it's also high protein.
317
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:46.519
High fiber.
318
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.720
So that's what I'm really focusing on all throughout the
319
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.000
month of July. But the reason why I want to
320
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.679
talk about the affirmations and I want to get your
321
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.279
perspective on this as well, because like I said, it
322
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.840
wasn't a lot of rigorous exercise that I was doing.
323
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.320
It really was a lot of war look when I could.
324
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.159
But the biggest thing that I changed was not eating
325
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.360
past six and doing my affirmations every day. And the
326
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.840
affirmation to was specifically about was specifically about my health
327
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.799
and wellness. It wasn't about new clients, it wasn't about
328
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.519
making more money. It was specifically exclusively about my health
329
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:20.879
and wellness and making a change.
330
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:21.919
What are your thoughts on that.
331
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.840
I feel like, you know, it starts with the core,
332
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.600
and a lot of things in our core is our
333
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.279
gut area. And so if our gut's not right, then
334
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:32.320
definitely our mindset is definitely not going.
335
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:32.759
To be right.
336
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.159
Because most of the time, if your stomach's upset, you're
337
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:37.759
not gonna sit still, You're gonna be all over the place.
338
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.679
And so definitely getting that core of us correct and
339
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.559
having that mindset correct, it's going to allow us to
340
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.559
think more clearly. And I'm always one I sleep with
341
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.240
pen and paper. I'm always writing out my thoughts and
342
00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:52.320
doing all of that. But I find when you don't
343
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.679
get enough sleep, or you know, you don't eat the
344
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.360
right nutrient nutrients that you need to eat. And so
345
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.679
I've been putting more protein and things into my diet,
346
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.880
letting the carbs go and ben on I'm on a
347
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.480
thirty day challenge as well myself in the midst of well,
348
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.799
it really is sixty days. It's sixty days with the
349
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.599
company that I'm with, and we're doing a reset challenge,
350
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.319
and so you know, taking the time to reset the
351
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.079
way that you eat and taking the first thirty days
352
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.000
and doing that and dumping out all the sugars and
353
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.119
all the things that we're so accustomed to, and even
354
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:30.880
taking a look at you know, I didn't even know,
355
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.720
like with pancake mixed and had sugar in it, And
356
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.480
so a lot of times we want these fluffy waffles
357
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.359
and fluffy pancakes and things like that, and they're not
358
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:42.480
really giving our body the nutrients that it needs. And
359
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:44.519
before we even get out the door and start our day,
360
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.079
and they tell us breakfast is the most important part,
361
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.759
we're already putting a whole bunch of chemicals and things
362
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.279
on our body as well as into our body. And
363
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.559
so really you start to look at you know, what
364
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.240
is it that you're putting in your temple long before
365
00:17:57.640 --> 00:17:59.599
you know you get out the door, and even before
366
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:01.200
you get out the bed, because many of us we
367
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.559
get on social media, we're scrolling as we're laying in bed,
368
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:07.279
and so all those things matter of how you're gonna
369
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.480
shift your day. And so just changing just those little
370
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.160
things when you open up your eyes of how your
371
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:15.519
day is gonna be mapped out, it's super important, I
372
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:20.440
think as well, which enters into the windows of your temple.
373
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:25.200
Shifting your day starts from the morning. That's what I'm
374
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.200
getting from you. I got so many things from what
375
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.319
you say. You started off by talking about your gut health,
376
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:31.759
What are you putting in your temple? What are you
377
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:33.440
put it in your body? Then you talked about when
378
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.599
you wake up in the morning. Social media is right there.
379
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:41.000
So guarden our minds, garden our ears we're hearing sometimes
380
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.160
in the morning. I'm very insensitive as well. I don't
381
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.000
want to even hear a lot of noise in the morning.
382
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.920
I definitely don't want to hear nothing negative. Sometimes I
383
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.559
just want quiet, or either I go on YouTube and
384
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.559
I'll put on waterfall music. Have the waterfall music to
385
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.359
set the tone in the morning or if I'm doing
386
00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:01.319
my prayers or whatever. But the first thing we hear
387
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:06.319
also can set the tone for the day, right, because
388
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.319
what we hear it has a wavelength, it's a sound wave, right,
389
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.160
and that sound wave gets into our ear, gets into
390
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.119
our psyche, gets into our minds. So be conscious in
391
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:19.160
this third quarter on how you're gonna shift your morning,
392
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.839
how were you gonna start your morning and create affirmation,
393
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:25.799
set the tone for the day. Watch what you're gonna see,
394
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.400
Watch what you're taking in, what you're listening to. Right,
395
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:32.640
And so I thought that this was a perfect conversation
396
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.559
as we're still at the beginning of July to have
397
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:40.559
this conversation about shifting in a healthier lifestyle. And again,
398
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:44.079
this conversation isn't about just a one time thing or
399
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.640
we have to go somewhere super extravagant to have a respect.
400
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:50.799
Let's talk about that. Because I love nature, I love walking.
401
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.480
I could go to a park and I feel like
402
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.680
I had a respite. Talk about how what's around you
403
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.119
or just in your environment, in your home, because sometimes
404
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:01.240
people are running away from their home. How can you
405
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:04.160
create your home to be arrested. How can you create
406
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:06.559
the natural environments around you to be arrested?
407
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:07.400
Can you speak on that?
408
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.279
Yeah, so I feel like, you know, just as a mom,
409
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.079
when you think of you know, having a baby, and
410
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:17.119
you're trying to set the tone back for you, right
411
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.200
your valley is out of balance and you're just trying
412
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.240
to get back.
413
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:23.000
To what you know, knowing your norm to be.
414
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.960
And so for me, it's having that serenity sanctuary place
415
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:27.519
in your home.
416
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:29.279
You know, when my daughter was in.
417
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.799
School, I would say, you know, give me five minutes,
418
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:33.880
don't just flat on me. I need just five minutes
419
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.880
to myself to have some time. But also your bathroom
420
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:41.039
can become your serenity sanctuary area. Maybe you have a
421
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.200
special place in your area office.
422
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.559
You know, hang a sign. They hang it out on
423
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:46.119
the hotel.
424
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:47.920
Why can't you have one in the midst of your
425
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:51.000
castle and say, do not deserve This is my area,
426
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:52.480
This is my time for me.
427
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:53.440
It's my bathroom.
428
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:55.759
You know, they get mad at me cause I take
429
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.440
a three hour bath. And if I listen to podcasts,
430
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.559
whatever I'm listening to in there, that's just my time
431
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.759
and my spa area in my home is my area of.
432
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:06.559
Just to have that time.
433
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.359
And of course my car because you know, when you're
434
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.599
riding along in the car, I'm not one to listen
435
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:13.039
much to the radio. I like quietness when I'm in
436
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:16.240
the car with people talking all day. So my car
437
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:19.440
becomes my serenity sanctuary. So I feel like, find what
438
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:23.000
really works for you and teach your family or those
439
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:25.839
around you to respect that space when you need to
440
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.640
go there. Even in the workplace, sometimes coworkers can get
441
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.039
on your nerves and you just need that moment to
442
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.799
walk away. I work in the salon with different hairstylads
443
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.359
sometimes in certain days of my week, and sometimes I
444
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:42.519
just go walk all I love to walk and if
445
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:44.319
you can't get out the heat is too much or
446
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.759
it's too cold out, you can always just get a
447
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.000
chair and just put on some aerobics and sit in
448
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.000
your chair. If your body doesn't move quite like someone else,
449
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.759
that's find what works for you to get your cardio
450
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:58.400
in that serenity time.
451
00:21:58.880 --> 00:21:59.440
And it's.
452
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:05.920
Okay, absolutely nothing. That is something super essential. And many
453
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.000
of us, especially as women, we find it guilty because
454
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:11.559
I got it. I don't feel you know that I've
455
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.039
done something today. I don't feel important today because I
456
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.640
didn't accomplish anything. It is absolutely okay for the body
457
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.359
to rest because if you don't rest it, I will
458
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:22.559
sit you down to rest it for you. And so
459
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:25.079
take that time because it definitely play on your organs.
460
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:29.599
A lot of things with blood pressure and you know,
461
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:32.599
diabetes and things like that. You know it all has
462
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.480
to do with your stress levels and not taking that time.
463
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.359
And so our body gives us signals the same way
464
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.880
you get a fever. Your body's speaking to you because
465
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.960
it needs something. It needs rest and our body regenerates
466
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.160
every ninety days. So taking the time and giving it
467
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:48.839
what it needs. And you only have one temple to
468
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:50.559
live in, so you wanted to give it the best
469
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:52.519
back to you, each and every day.
470
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.039
Giving the best back to you. And as we get
471
00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.920
ready to wind down this segment, we have been talking
472
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:05.559
to Natasha Allen, CEO of Nurture By Natasha. Before we
473
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:08.359
close out, I just want you to share. I know
474
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.480
we had a business conference this year. It was Unlocked
475
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:14.519
twenty twenty six. Share what your experience was like as
476
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:16.519
we are gearing up for next year. So for those
477
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:20.880
that see the screen, you see on the far my
478
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.400
right an emblem that says I Locked twenty twenty seven.
479
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.799
Well, we have confirmed the location.
480
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.359
It's going to be at the BWI Marriott Hotel on Saturday,
481
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:33.279
April seventeenth. But Natasha, just share what did you experience
482
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:34.880
from this year's business conference.
483
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:37.440
It was just mind blowing.
484
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:39.880
It was so many moving parts in a good way
485
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:43.279
that was going on. Of the speakers that shared, the
486
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:46.640
people that you rub arms with, of just networking with.
487
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:50.119
The breakout grounds were phenomenal. And it wasn't just one
488
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:52.160
of those conferences where you just get a whole bunch
489
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.400
of just block of people throwing things at you what
490
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.160
they do in their business. They actually mapped out a
491
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.319
blueprint that no matter what industry you was in, that
492
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:04.839
you can take some pointers and some notes along the
493
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:06.000
way that can.
494
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.519
For you and your business if you were going to
495
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.480
implement it or not.
496
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:17.240
But it was the energy was just amazing of just
497
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:20.680
people that came from near and far and that you
498
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:23.920
sat with, and everybody was just so friendly and lovely
499
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:26.960
and you just have to froment and no one was
500
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:29.440
afraid to share. It was like, you know, this my
501
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:32.000
business and I'm going to keep it to myself and
502
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:34.440
I don't want to, you know, help anyone else to
503
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.240
elevate and expand. And so it was some young folks
504
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.400
in the room that was just phenomenal, even to seniors
505
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:45.720
that were in the room that shared. And the connections
506
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.920
just still keep going even beyond that conference. And so
507
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:52.920
get out and time to unlock twenty twenty seven. You
508
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.359
will now truly be disappointed at all, because I'm still
509
00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:59.559
floating and still looking at my little piece of puzzle
510
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.200
paper that I had with all of my notes on
511
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.119
it and said like, okay, what else I needed?
512
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.720
It was absolutely.
