I do not say the slightly.
5
00:00:06,973 --> 00:00:08,341
That's why I actually started
6
00:00:08,341 --> 00:00:11,177
to cry twice in the podcast,
because you said it
7
00:00:11,177 --> 00:00:12,979
and I was like,
oh, that's genius.
8
00:00:13,313 --> 00:00:14,614
And it's so genius.
9
00:00:14,781 --> 00:00:16,316
It's no, no, it's
going to change everything
10
00:00:16,316 --> 00:00:18,051

33
00:01:01,428 --> 00:01:02,695

00:01:04,864 --> 00:01:06,933
We've known each other
about the same length

00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:08,935

37
00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:10,670

It is called doing well.

She not only is in charge

00:01:56,182 --> 00:01:57,517
but it also has two
60
00:01:57,517 --> 00:01:59,119
really incredible features
61
00:01:59,352 --> 00:02:01,087
that I have personally known.
62
00:02:01,087 --> 00:02:02,322
Many people who have gone
63
00:02:02,322 --> 00:02:03,523
through her program
64
00:02:03,656 --> 00:02:05,825
and have really found so much
health and wellness.
65
00:02:05,825 --> 00:02:07,393
Through your health, education
66
00:02:07,393 --> 00:02:08,595
and your information,
67
00:02:08,995 --> 00:02:10,396
there are it's
68
00:02:10,396 --> 00:02:12,465
a subscription,
so it's a community
69
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:14,767
subscription, which Daphne
will tell you about.
70
00:02:14,767 --> 00:02:16,469
That's the Doing
Well subscription
71
00:02:16,803 --> 00:02:18,872
and her one on one coaching,
72
00:02:19,038 --> 00:02:20,440
which is incredible.
73
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:21,741
A lot of you know,
74
00:02:21,741 --> 00:02:23,076
before we hear from Daphne,
75
00:02:23,376 --> 00:02:24,444
a lot of you know
76
00:02:24,444 --> 00:02:26,179
that I also had
77
00:02:26,179 --> 00:02:28,681
a private practice
in New York City on 47th
78
00:02:28,681 --> 00:02:30,016
and 3rd long
79
00:02:30,016 --> 00:02:32,519
before I had liquid vitamins.
80
00:02:32,519 --> 00:02:35,155
And through that practice,
it was really one of the most
81
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:36,923
rewarding things
that I've ever done.
82
00:02:37,557 --> 00:02:39,492
Daphne is really
83
00:02:39,492 --> 00:02:41,327
the only person that I know
84
00:02:41,327 --> 00:02:43,830
who shares and teaches
85
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:47,200
in a very, very similar way
because not only are
86
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,635
we best friends, but
87
00:02:48,635 --> 00:02:50,003
the way that we live
88
00:02:50,203 --> 00:02:52,005
through mental health, through
health and wellness,
89
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:53,973
what we do in our 24
90
00:02:53,973 --> 00:02:56,209
hour morning and nighttime
routines
91
00:02:56,209 --> 00:02:59,078
and just in service to people.
92
00:02:59,412 --> 00:03:00,580
It's very similar.
93
00:03:00,580 --> 00:03:02,415
So I am happy.
94
00:03:02,415 --> 00:03:03,283
If you are listening
95
00:03:03,283 --> 00:03:05,685
to this podcast
and you have been looking
96
00:03:05,685 --> 00:03:08,154
for someone to work with,
people
97
00:03:08,154 --> 00:03:09,389
always ask me, Marybeth, like,
98
00:03:09,722 --> 00:03:10,623
who should I work with?
99
00:03:10,623 --> 00:03:11,724
Do you see people any more?
100
00:03:11,724 --> 00:03:12,192
Mary Ruth?
101
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:13,893
And I always say Daphne.
102
00:03:13,893 --> 00:03:16,863
So without further ado, please
103
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:18,198
Daphne, we would love to
hear from you.
104
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:19,732
Would like to hear anything
you want to share
105
00:03:19,732 --> 00:03:22,235
about yourself,
your family and doing well.
106
00:03:22,235 --> 00:03:24,604
And then we will go through
107
00:03:24,637 --> 00:03:26,606
your morning and nighttime
routines.
108
00:03:27,073 --> 00:03:28,041
So welcome.
109
00:03:28,041 --> 00:03:29,309
Thank you for having me.
110
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:30,843
I've been wanting
to sit with you.
111
00:03:30,843 --> 00:03:32,011
I consider this a date
112
00:03:32,979 --> 00:03:33,980
just to talk to you.
113
00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:35,315
I love it
and thank you for such
114
00:03:35,315 --> 00:03:36,549
a beautiful introduction.
115
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:40,453
You really changed
116
00:03:40,453 --> 00:03:41,721
the direction of my life
117
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:44,090
when I worked with you
as my health coach.
118
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:45,692
And now I'm a health coach.
119
00:03:45,692 --> 00:03:48,995
And like you said,
my work is so inspired
120
00:03:48,995 --> 00:03:50,196
by what
121
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:51,864
you taught me and the work
122
00:03:51,864 --> 00:03:53,099
we moved through together
123
00:03:53,099 --> 00:03:55,501
and still inspired by you.
124
00:03:55,501 --> 00:03:57,003
Because really what I do
125
00:03:57,003 --> 00:03:58,605
is I help busy people
126
00:03:58,771 --> 00:04:00,540
build lasting routines.
127
00:04:01,808 --> 00:04:03,309
And I think
128
00:04:03,309 --> 00:04:05,478
we all know
sort of what to do.
129
00:04:05,478 --> 00:04:07,847
We have a lot of information
that's available to us,
130
00:04:07,847 --> 00:04:09,282
but most of us who are
131
00:04:09,582 --> 00:04:11,417
parents, professionals,
132
00:04:11,417 --> 00:04:12,619
partners,
133
00:04:13,019 --> 00:04:14,220
we are struggling
134
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:15,822
to understand how to get it in
135
00:04:15,822 --> 00:04:17,023
and how to do it
136
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:18,625
alongside our jobs,
137
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:20,226
our relationships are,
138
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:21,728
you know, real lives, right?
139
00:04:21,728 --> 00:04:23,196
So I would say my specialty
140
00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:25,198
is helping
people who are leading
141
00:04:25,198 --> 00:04:27,433
real busy lives
build these routines.
142
00:04:27,433 --> 00:04:28,768
And that's, you know,
143
00:04:28,768 --> 00:04:31,170
founded in nutrition
but also lifestyle.
144
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:32,372
So
sleep,
145
00:04:32,805 --> 00:04:34,874
stress management, time
146
00:04:34,874 --> 00:04:36,509
and space management.
147
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:39,479
Exercise, how to
148
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:40,780
do it when we don't want to.
149
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:41,748
All of those things.
150
00:04:41,748 --> 00:04:43,683
So I work with people
one on one.
151
00:04:44,017 --> 00:04:45,084
I lead group
152
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:46,986
programs about twice a year.
153
00:04:46,986 --> 00:04:48,588
And I also have a membership,
154
00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:49,922
which is the most accessible
155
00:04:49,922 --> 00:04:51,090
way to work with me,
156
00:04:51,090 --> 00:04:53,092
where I release content
every week.
157
00:04:53,092 --> 00:04:55,228
That is rooted
in these principles
158
00:04:55,228 --> 00:04:57,230
of doable health.
159
00:04:57,497 --> 00:04:58,564
Also, Daphne's
160
00:04:58,564 --> 00:05:00,500
Instagram is very,
very beautiful.
161
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:02,068
She chooses images
162
00:05:02,068 --> 00:05:04,337
that are like from art
and fashion.
163
00:05:04,337 --> 00:05:05,905
I mean, what would you say
about your imagery?
164
00:05:05,905 --> 00:05:07,073
I just think it's so unique.
165
00:05:07,073 --> 00:05:08,441
It's so beautiful and clever.
166
00:05:08,441 --> 00:05:09,709
It's really clever. Thank you.
167
00:05:09,709 --> 00:05:12,378
I wanted to have, an account
168
00:05:12,378 --> 00:05:14,080
that appealed to people
169
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,415
beyond sort
170
00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:16,616
of smoothies
171
00:05:16,616 --> 00:05:18,484
and salads, and I use
172
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:20,186
a lot of archival imagery
173
00:05:20,186 --> 00:05:21,688
and try to draw people in
174
00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:23,156
who might not relate
175
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:24,457
to such a kind
176
00:05:24,457 --> 00:05:26,659
of specific version of health.
177
00:05:26,659 --> 00:05:27,026
Right?
178
00:05:27,026 --> 00:05:29,829
So I use images that I think
179
00:05:29,829 --> 00:05:31,364
are beautiful
180
00:05:31,364 --> 00:05:33,366
and inspiring,
and also because
181
00:05:33,366 --> 00:05:34,801
I have a history in fashion
182
00:05:34,801 --> 00:05:36,302
and and I love art.
183
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:38,371
So I wanted to maintain
184
00:05:38,371 --> 00:05:39,806
some sense of creativity
185
00:05:39,939 --> 00:05:41,040
while I did this work.
186
00:05:42,041 --> 00:05:43,509
So really every
187
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:44,811
podcast that we've done,
188
00:05:44,811 --> 00:05:47,513
it's the same format
and we just like to hear
189
00:05:47,513 --> 00:05:48,715
from real people
190
00:05:48,815 --> 00:05:50,850
about their morning
and nighttime routines
191
00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:52,051
and maybe also
192
00:05:52,085 --> 00:05:53,286
how they've changed.
193
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:55,988
Or sometimes if you skip
part of your routine,
194
00:05:55,988 --> 00:05:57,457
depending
on how you're feeling.
195
00:05:57,824 --> 00:05:58,825
We always start
196
00:05:58,825 --> 00:06:00,660
with the morning routine,
so please
197
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:02,795
feel free to share with us
what you do.
198
00:06:02,795 --> 00:06:03,896
And also it's helpful.
199
00:06:03,896 --> 00:06:04,597
You kind of say like
200
00:06:04,597 --> 00:06:06,632
what time you get up,
what like really?
201
00:06:06,666 --> 00:06:09,102
Maybe the weekend versus when
your kids are going to school
202
00:06:09,102 --> 00:06:10,336
or any thoughts you have
203
00:06:10,636 --> 00:06:11,838
on morning routine.
204
00:06:12,438 --> 00:06:13,840
So many people want to have
205
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,041
a morning routine,
206
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:16,409
I think, as you know,
207
00:06:16,409 --> 00:06:17,744
and then they don't really.
208
00:06:17,744 --> 00:06:19,779
And so this is kind of
209
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,381
hopefully sparking
210
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:22,582
inspiration for people
211
00:06:22,582 --> 00:06:23,783
to say like, okay,
212
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:25,818
I can do, I can do this too.
213
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:27,153
This is my favorite thing
214
00:06:27,153 --> 00:06:28,354
is to ask people,
215
00:06:28,621 --> 00:06:29,689
what is your routine?
216
00:06:30,890 --> 00:06:32,325
So, okay,
217
00:06:33,292 --> 00:06:34,127
I have two young
218
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:35,328
children, so I have
219
00:06:35,361 --> 00:06:37,430
my younger
son is turning five tomorrow
220
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,832
and I have a seven year old,
so my morning
221
00:06:39,832 --> 00:06:42,235
routine is my early
222
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:44,070
morning
routine is focused on them.
223
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:47,206
My sort of early mid-morning,
not mid morning,
224
00:06:47,206 --> 00:06:48,007
but still early.
225
00:06:48,007 --> 00:06:49,475
I'm going to break it down
time wise
226
00:06:49,709 --> 00:06:51,477
and then I go to work. So
227
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:53,946
the biggest,
228
00:06:54,847 --> 00:06:56,816
most impactful change
229
00:06:56,816 --> 00:06:58,017
that I have made
230
00:06:58,351 --> 00:06:59,185
on my health
231
00:06:59,185 --> 00:07:01,921
in the last two years
is I create
232
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:03,189
something that I call a no
233
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:04,390
phone zone.
234
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:06,292
So I wake up every day
235
00:07:06,292 --> 00:07:08,761
at 6:40 before my children,
236
00:07:08,761 --> 00:07:10,563
who I wake up at seven
because right now
237
00:07:10,563 --> 00:07:11,831
we live close to our school.
238
00:07:11,831 --> 00:07:13,032
Amazing. Yeah.
239
00:07:13,132 --> 00:07:15,635
And I have a no phone zone,
240
00:07:15,635 --> 00:07:18,304
so I do not look at my phone
until my children
241
00:07:18,304 --> 00:07:19,505
leave for school.
242
00:07:19,539 --> 00:07:20,640
I used to wake up
243
00:07:20,640
--> 00:07:22,041
and look at my phone
right away
244
00:07:22,041 --> 00:07:23,843
and even if I left my phone
245
00:07:23,843 --> 00:07:25,611
in my bedroom or behind,
246
00:07:25,611 --> 00:07:26,879
I would still be
247
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:29,282
kind of ignited
to start my workday.
248
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:30,483
Or even if my sister or
249
00:07:30,483 --> 00:07:32,985
a friend texted me
my mind was elsewhere
250
00:07:33,386 --> 00:07:34,754
and it left me feeling
251
00:07:34,754 --> 00:07:37,190
really scattered
and thin as a parent.
252
00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:38,391
And so now,
253
00:07:38,391 --> 00:07:40,927
even though it's
not that long, it's from 6:40
254
00:07:40,927 --> 00:07:42,695
until my children leave,
which is around
255
00:07:42,695 --> 00:07:44,397
7:58 a.m..
256
00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:45,531
No phone zone.
257
00:07:45,531 --> 00:07:46,833
I do not look at my phone, so
258
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:48,201
I wake up a little bit early.
259
00:07:48,201 --> 00:07:50,069
I begin to prepare
260
00:07:50,069 --> 00:07:51,471
my children's breakfast.
261
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:53,673
I prepare their lunch
to take to school.
262
00:07:53,973 --> 00:07:55,741
Then I get my children
up at seven
263
00:07:56,042 --> 00:07:58,177
and we have family time
264
00:07:58,177 --> 00:08:00,079
and it's not that much time.
265
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:02,215
But because I'm not divided,
266
00:08:02,215 --> 00:08:03,716
I'm not looking elsewhere.
267
00:08:03,716 --> 00:08:05,451
It's quality with my children
268
00:08:05,451 --> 00:08:06,986
and they have my full
attention.
269
00:08:06,986 --> 00:08:08,187
And I have to say,
270
00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:09,355
creating the no phone
271
00:08:09,355 --> 00:08:10,823
zone has made me feel
272
00:08:10,823 --> 00:08:12,225
so much more confident
273
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:14,126
as a mom, because
274
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,496
parenting is really hard
when you're trying
275
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:18,164
to do anything else
so powerful.
276
00:08:18,164 --> 00:08:19,365
I'm always going to cry
277
00:08:19,765 --> 00:08:20,533
and, and
278
00:08:20,533 --> 00:08:22,468
and I almost said like, wow,
this is.
279
00:08:22,468 --> 00:08:23,336
At first I was like, it's
280
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:25,171
kind of pathetic
that it's only two hours
281
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:26,439
or an hour and a half
without my phone,
282
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:27,740
but it has such an impact
283
00:08:27,740 --> 00:08:29,408
and small humans
284
00:08:29,408 --> 00:08:30,810
actually don't know
285
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:32,111
what time is.
286
00:08:32,311 --> 00:08:33,446
So they're experiencing
287
00:08:33,446 --> 00:08:34,680
the present moment, you know?
288
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:37,383
So that's a powerful part
of my morning routine.
289
00:08:37,383 --> 00:08:39,185
Then I get my children off
to school
290
00:08:39,652 --> 00:08:40,987
and I oh,
291
00:08:40,987 --> 00:08:42,688
at that,
sometime in the morning I'm
292
00:08:42,688 --> 00:08:45,291
drinking my water
and I make a delicious coffee
293
00:08:45,291 --> 00:08:46,325
with homemade almond milk.
294
00:08:46,325 --> 00:08:46,893
I just like to,
295
00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:49,028
since I
296
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:50,229
remember since the
297
00:08:50,229 --> 00:08:51,931
first beginning
of our friendship.
298
00:08:51,931 --> 00:08:53,900
You love coffee,
I love coffee.
299
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:55,268
I'm not taking that away
from that
300
00:08:56,168 --> 00:08:57,236
special moment.
301
00:08:57,236 --> 00:08:58,437
So, have
302
00:08:58,437 --> 00:08:59,839
and it's
such a beautiful ritual.
303
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,040
And then my children
304
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,175
are off to school
and I exercise,
305
00:09:03,342 --> 00:09:05,478
so I live very fortunate
306
00:09:05,811 --> 00:09:07,113
next to a reservoir.
307
00:09:07,113 --> 00:09:09,782
So I can run that loop
or walk that loop
308
00:09:09,782 --> 00:09:10,983
or find some stairs.
309
00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:13,953
And I do that every morning
310
00:09:13,953 --> 00:09:15,254
before I sit down at my desk
311
00:09:15,254 --> 00:09:16,455
to sit with clients.
312
00:09:17,523 --> 00:09:18,891
And I always say mood
313
00:09:18,891 --> 00:09:20,092
follows action,
314
00:09:20,626 --> 00:09:21,894
which I've heard you talk
315
00:09:21,894 --> 00:09:23,663
about recently on podcasts,
which is you
316
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:25,064
actually have to do the thing
317
00:09:25,064 --> 00:09:26,432
to be in the mood to do it.
318
00:09:26,432 --> 00:09:27,900
You can't wait to be
in the mood to do
319
00:09:28,067 --> 00:09:29,268
this, to get started.
320
00:09:29,769 --> 00:09:31,771
And then there's
two other things that I do,
321
00:09:32,071 --> 00:09:33,739
throughout my morning,
typically, once
322
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:35,641
I'm at my desk,
I'll have a green juice.
323
00:09:35,641 --> 00:09:36,876
I try to drink one
324
00:09:36,876 --> 00:09:39,312
liter of water by noon, and,
325
00:09:40,546 --> 00:09:41,280
and then
326
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,648
the other two things that I do
327
00:09:42,648 --> 00:09:43,916
at my desk are
328
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:45,751
I write down
329
00:09:46,252 --> 00:09:47,887
at some point
over the course of the morning
330
00:09:47,887 --> 00:09:49,188
because my morning
is quite tight
331
00:09:49,188 --> 00:09:50,723
because of that exercise
chunk.
332
00:09:50,723 --> 00:09:52,491
So I sit down
and I'm seeing my clients,
333
00:09:52,491 --> 00:09:54,760
but I have little buffers
in between each session,
334
00:09:55,161 --> 00:09:58,397
and I just make a very brief
list, like bullet
335
00:09:58,397 --> 00:09:59,899
points of four things
336
00:09:59,899 --> 00:10:01,100
that I'm grateful for.
337
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,368
Note form, not
338
00:10:02,368 -->
00:10:03,636
elaborate journal entry,
339
00:10:03,636 --> 00:10:04,937
just for bullet points.
340
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:06,872
And then I write
341
00:10:06,872 --> 00:10:08,941
for best case scenarios.
342
00:10:09,241 --> 00:10:11,744
So I am an anxious person,
343
00:10:11,744 --> 00:10:15,781
and I tend to imagine
the worse.
344
00:10:16,182 --> 00:10:19,719
Or I get worried or anticipate
345
00:10:19,719 --> 00:10:22,088
things happening
that are out of my control,
346
00:10:22,421 --> 00:10:24,423
and I have found
it really helpful
347
00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:27,093
to write down
the four best case scenario.
348
00:10:27,093 --> 00:10:28,260
So, for example,
349
00:10:28,327 --> 00:10:29,595
we lost my children's
350
00:10:29,595 --> 00:10:30,796
school to that,
351
00:10:31,063 --> 00:10:32,031
eating fire
352
00:10:32,031 --> 00:10:33,633
in California last year.
353
00:10:33,933 --> 00:10:35,201
And so for a long time,
354
00:10:35,201 --> 00:10:36,469
the best case scenario
355
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:37,937
was that my children would
356
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:39,538
their school would find
357
00:10:39,538 --> 00:10:41,040
a great location, you know,
358
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,508
so I just write for best case
359
00:10:42,508 --> 00:10:44,176
scenarios and it helps me,
360
00:10:45,511 --> 00:10:46,846
attach to
361
00:10:47,446 --> 00:10:48,581
what's possible
362
00:10:48,581 --> 00:10:49,982
instead of what's probable.
363
00:10:50,249 --> 00:10:52,485
Also like
when you were first talking,
364
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:53,953
I, I like I said,
365
00:10:53,953 --> 00:10:55,521
I started crying because
366
00:10:56,222 --> 00:10:56,889
and I'm still like
367
00:10:56,889 --> 00:10:58,090
getting emotional.
368
00:10:58,491 --> 00:10:59,692
I think,
369
00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:01,661
like my nighttime
370
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,963
routine I had this year, like,
in the last six months,
371
00:11:03,963 --> 00:11:06,032
I stopped,
I turned my phone off at 7:00
372
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:08,434
So I was like
a really big deal for me.
373
00:11:08,934 --> 00:11:10,936
But it hasn't
really occurred to me till you
374
00:11:11,537 --> 00:11:13,139
have said what you just said,
375
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:14,774
which is I do think
376
00:11:14,774 --> 00:11:16,575
also my children
377
00:11:16,575 --> 00:11:18,678
leave for school at 7:30,
378
00:11:18,978 --> 00:11:22,214
so I'm up with them at 5:45,
but I think
379
00:11:22,214 --> 00:11:23,916
because there's four of them,
it's just like a little bit,
380
00:11:23,916 --> 00:11:25,184
a little bit longer
381
00:11:25,451 --> 00:11:26,519
with the backpacks,
382
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:28,688
the lunchboxes, the breakfast,
whatever the dressing.
383
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,290
But I was getting emotional
384
00:11:31,290 --> 00:11:33,826
because, like,
I felt like I realized
385
00:11:33,826 --> 00:11:35,895
just right
now that I should probably,
386
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:39,331
do the same exact thing,
387
00:11:39,765 --> 00:11:40,966
like, I think
388
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,969
I think I lose 15
or 20 minutes
389
00:11:43,969 --> 00:11:46,472
within that 5:45 a.m.
390
00:11:46,472 --> 00:11:48,541
to 7:30 window,
at least 20 minutes.
391
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:49,742
I'm losing
392
00:11:49,742 --> 00:11:50,543
because like you said,
393
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:53,012
someone might be asking
for something
394
00:11:53,012 --> 00:11:54,213
or need something.
395
00:11:54,513 --> 00:11:58,050
And it's is again,
it's so wild
396
00:11:58,050 --> 00:12:00,086
because I really did it
397
00:12:00,086 --> 00:12:01,454
for the first time ever
this year.
398
00:12:01,454 --> 00:12:02,722
My phone is off at seven
399
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:04,457
and it's my life
got so much better.
400
00:12:05,491 --> 00:12:06,225
Like my life
401
00:12:06,225 --> 00:12:08,160
got crazy, so much better
because I felt like
402
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,263
my body can calm down
before I need to sleep.
403
00:12:11,263 --> 00:12:12,865
Like I'm still
cleaning the table,
404
00:12:12,865 --> 00:12:15,367
doing chores, vacuuming,
you know, cleaning up
405
00:12:15,367 --> 00:12:16,569
the kitchen at that time,
406
00:12:17,503 --> 00:12:18,637
making tea.
407
00:12:18,637 --> 00:12:19,839
But like, there's no phone.
408
00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:21,474
So I actually feel
409
00:12:21,807 --> 00:12:23,743
like I had like a free time.
410
00:12:24,043 --> 00:12:25,177
And then
so when you were saying
411
00:12:25,177 --> 00:12:26,612
that your kids probably
412
00:12:26,612 --> 00:12:27,813
also feel like
413
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:28,914
they really have
414
00:12:28,914 --> 00:12:30,483
this quality moment with you,
415
00:12:30,983 --> 00:12:33,219
I think I could
totally do that too,
416
00:12:33,452 --> 00:12:35,621
because I feel like
whoever needs me, my kids
417
00:12:35,621 --> 00:12:37,289
go go to school at 7:30,
418
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:39,525
it can wait till. Yeah.
419
00:12:39,525 --> 00:12:41,827
And so that really touched
my heart.
420
00:12:41,861 --> 00:12:43,929
I wasn't expecting
it when you said that.
421
00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:46,465
And then
422
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:48,400
I haven't heard.
423
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,035
I've heard, like,
journaling what
424
00:12:50,035 --> 00:12:51,303
I'm grateful for,
425
00:12:51,570 --> 00:12:52,905
but I haven't heard someone
426
00:12:52,905 --> 00:12:54,206
say maybe, like, best case
427
00:12:54,206 --> 00:12:55,474
scenario, write
428
00:12:55,474 --> 00:12:56,675
down, like, things that could,
429
00:12:56,675 --> 00:12:58,010
I call it going in
430
00:12:58,010 --> 00:12:59,545
in your favor. Yes.
431
00:12:59,545 --> 00:13:01,747
So that's very
inspiring as well.
432
00:13:01,747 --> 00:13:04,283
And I think
that I'm not saying
433
00:13:04,283 --> 00:13:06,452
that your
anxiety is trauma,
434
00:13:06,585 --> 00:13:07,920
but I want to say it
435
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,121
for all the other parents
436
00:13:09,121 --> 00:13:10,556
who also have anxiety.
437
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:12,992
I read something recently
438
00:13:12,992 --> 00:13:14,593
that said people who,
439
00:13:15,294 --> 00:13:16,862
lean towards anxiety
440
00:13:16,862 --> 00:13:18,297
or run anxious, it's kind of
441
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:20,566
sometimes like stored trauma
in the body
442
00:13:20,566 --> 00:13:22,868
and it's kind of resurfacing,
coming out.
443
00:13:22,868 --> 00:13:24,837
You could even be like
detoxing it out,
444
00:13:25,171 --> 00:13:26,572
you know, as you're growing.
445
00:13:26,872 --> 00:13:30,910
So I think that people
will resonate with you
446
00:13:31,243 --> 00:13:32,778
where if they're already
447
00:13:32,778 --> 00:13:34,046
doing a gratitude journal,
448
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,481
they could write down
449
00:13:35,748 --> 00:13:36,782
three things that would go
450
00:13:36,782 --> 00:13:37,950
in their favor.
451
00:13:38,350 --> 00:13:41,020
Like, I can think of
three things right now.
452
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:43,622
I have like a small
physical injury that causes me
453
00:13:43,622 --> 00:13:45,124
a lot of muscle pain
454
00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:47,126
and like,
it would really feel good
455
00:13:47,593 --> 00:13:48,828
if I wrote down that, like,
456
00:13:49,562 --> 00:13:50,896
I'm already healing it
457
00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:52,832
and it's going to be better
by next week.
458
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:54,466
Oh, you know, like
I think that
459
00:13:54,466 --> 00:13:55,901
that is very powerful
460
00:13:55,901 --> 00:13:57,403
because I worry,
461
00:13:57,770 --> 00:13:59,038
oh, what if my like, pain
462
00:13:59,038 --> 00:14:00,606
gets worse
or my muscle of course.
463
00:14:00,606 --> 00:14:00,806
Yeah.
464
00:14:00,806 --> 00:14:03,709
That's of course
that's so natural.
465
00:14:04,076 --> 00:14:06,879
I even was thinking
because first
466
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:08,781
I just want to acknowledge
that for
467
00:14:08,781 --> 00:14:10,983
children
is not just a little bit
468
00:14:10,983 --> 00:14:12,484
more hectic
in the morning, it's
469
00:14:12,985 --> 00:14:14,587
way more hectic than
470
00:14:14,587 --> 00:14:16,188
the morning that I'm facing.
471
00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:19,725
But I do really
472
00:14:19,725 --> 00:14:21,293
want to emphasize that
473
00:14:22,461 --> 00:14:24,263
doing this
no phone zone thing.
474
00:14:24,263 --> 00:14:26,498
I just I'm going to do it
like you already got me.
475
00:14:26,498 --> 00:14:27,700
I will, I promise you.
476
00:14:27,833 --> 00:14:29,268
I do not say this lightly.
477
00:14:29,535 --> 00:14:30,903
That's why I actually started
478
00:14:30,903 --> 00:14:33,706
to cry twice in the podcast,
because you said it.
479
00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:35,507
And I was like,
oh, that's genius.
480
00:14:35,841 --> 00:14:37,176
And it's so genius.
481
00:14:37,309 --> 00:14:38,844
It's no, no, it's
going to change everything
482
00:14:38,844 --> 00:14:40,579
for me
and for everyone, honestly.
483
00:14:40,579 --> 00:14:41,814
Because, listen, the truth is,
484
00:14:41,814 --> 00:14:43,582
is that we live in a day
and age
485
00:14:43,582 --> 00:14:46,185
where if I picked up my phone
at three,
486
00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:47,453
someone's accessing you,
487
00:14:47,486 --> 00:14:48,687
I could be working.
488
00:14:49,054 --> 00:14:50,289
There's work to do, right?
489
00:14:50,289 --> 00:14:52,791
And that means that this level
490
00:14:52,791 --> 00:14:54,827
of time and space management
491
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,230
and this level of self-care,
because what we're describing
492
00:14:58,230 --> 00:14:59,765
is a regulated nervous system
493
00:14:59,765 --> 00:15:02,201
where
we're not constantly in demand
494
00:15:02,201 --> 00:15:04,703
and being pulled in directions
495
00:15:04,703 --> 00:15:07,139
that are not tactful, like,
496
00:15:07,273 --> 00:15:09,575
you know, this is all
this is an amazing thing.
497
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:11,911
I mean, this level of
self-care is a discipline.
498
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:13,612
It's not a luxury.
499
00:15:13,612 --> 00:15:15,114
It's not an indulgence.
500
00:15:15,114 --> 00:15:17,850
It's about
resourcing ourselves.
501
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:20,486
So this small pocket of it's
502
00:15:20,486 --> 00:15:21,754
very old fashioned time
503
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:22,988
where literally
504
00:15:22,988 --> 00:15:24,924
you could sweep your kitchen
505
00:15:25,324 --> 00:15:26,792
but still be regulating
506
00:15:26,792 --> 00:15:28,560
your nervous system
and feeling grounded.
507
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:29,461
It's so powerful.
508
00:15:29,461 --> 00:15:31,063
I recommend that this is,
you know,
509
00:15:31,063 --> 00:15:32,264
you and I,
510
00:15:32,498 --> 00:15:33,432
we've been working
511
00:15:33,432 --> 00:15:34,633
in health for so long.
512
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,802
I have a lot of information
513
00:15:36,802 --> 00:15:38,270
and all of us now
514
00:15:38,270 --> 00:15:39,605
with social media
515
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:41,073
and and the interest
516
00:15:41,073 --> 00:15:42,274
in health and wellness
517
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,542
have a lot of information.
518
00:15:44,576 --> 00:15:45,644
This is one of the most
519
00:15:45,644 --> 00:15:46,845
powerful, impactful things
520
00:15:46,845 --> 00:15:48,213
anyone can do beyond salad,
521
00:15:48,213 --> 00:15:49,715
beyond water, beyond exercise.
522
00:15:49,715 --> 00:15:51,116
This is super powerful.
523
00:15:51,116 --> 00:15:53,652
So Joel is the incredible team
member
524
00:15:53,652 --> 00:15:55,154
who is always filming
our podcast.
525
00:15:55,154 --> 00:15:57,189
Have I cried on
any of the podcast yet?
526
00:15:57,423 --> 00:15:58,590
No, I have not.
527
00:15:58,590 --> 00:16:01,293
So that is, incredible.
528
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:02,161
Thank you.
529
00:16:02,161 --> 00:16:04,897
Well, also,
we are hoping to also
530
00:16:04,897 --> 00:16:06,932
hear your nighttime
routine. Yes.
531
00:16:06,932 --> 00:16:09,001
So I try in the evening
532
00:16:09,001 --> 00:16:10,936
to do another no phone zone.
533
00:16:10,936 --> 00:16:13,105
And that starts around
5:30 or 6:00
534
00:16:13,472 --> 00:16:15,841
and we do a family dinner
at 6:00.
535
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:18,210
So I have a couple hacks
that I really believe in.
536
00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:19,445
If you have young children,
537
00:16:19,712 --> 00:16:24,116
which is a lot of people
do dinner and then a bath,
538
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:25,884
but I have found that
539
00:16:25,884 --> 00:16:27,486
having my children take a bath
540
00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:28,787
and then have dinner, can
541
00:16:28,787 --> 00:16:30,089
we can we love?
542
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:31,790
We are really the same person
543
00:16:31,790 --> 00:16:33,158
because in our house
544
00:16:33,425 --> 00:16:34,626
we do the bath.
545
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,030
All for starting at 5:30. Yes.
546
00:16:38,330 --> 00:16:39,898
5:15, 5:30.
547
00:16:39,898 --> 00:16:41,600
And everybody
sits down at 6:00.
548
00:16:42,368 --> 00:16:43,802
Yes. So I back you.
549
00:16:43,802 --> 00:16:45,304
It's so amazing.
550
00:16:45,304 --> 00:16:46,205
For dinner.
551
00:16:46,205 --> 00:16:47,573
Bath before dinner.
552
00:16:47,606 --> 00:16:48,474
Yeah. Riot.
553
00:16:48,474 --> 00:16:49,942
It'll change your life also,
554
00:16:49,942 --> 00:16:52,811
because if you're working
parent and you can't get back
555
00:16:52,945 --> 00:16:54,413
like someone might be,
556
00:16:54,413 --> 00:16:55,981
I have a, I have a babysitter
557
00:16:55,981 --> 00:16:57,483
who helps me
give my kids a bath.
558
00:16:57,850 --> 00:16:59,351
And then we do
a family dinner,
559
00:16:59,351 --> 00:17:01,153
which I also recommend.
560
00:17:01,153 --> 00:17:04,056
It's chaotic,
but I used to, you know, Polly
561
00:17:04,056 --> 00:17:05,624
and I, when
we had really little children,
562
00:17:05,891 --> 00:17:06,992
we would give them dinner
563
00:17:06,992 --> 00:17:08,293
and then we would
make our dinner.
564
00:17:08,293 --> 00:17:09,028
And then you're just.
565
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:10,262
I feel like it's midnight
566
00:17:10,496 --> 00:17:11,897
and the truth is,
567
00:17:11,897 --> 00:17:13,098
we have a chaotic,
568
00:17:13,098 --> 00:17:14,867
great family dinner together.
569
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:17,436
We're done eating by 6:45 ish.
570
00:17:17,836 --> 00:17:19,838
Start the bedtime negotiation
571
00:17:19,838 --> 00:17:21,140
process at seven.
572
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:22,975
That goes on
probably longer in my house
573
00:17:22,975 --> 00:17:24,243
than yours with four kids.
574
00:17:25,177 --> 00:17:26,378
Because they're
575
00:17:26,445 --> 00:17:27,780
very good negotiators.
576
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:30,149
And then, honestly,
577
00:17:30,149 --> 00:17:33,352
I just want to get into bed
578
00:17:33,685 --> 00:17:34,887
at, like, 8:30.
579
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:36,622
I have a tea.
580
00:17:37,389 --> 00:17:39,391
Read connect with Polly.
581
00:17:39,558 --> 00:17:41,760
Maybe we like to watch a show
582
00:17:41,994 --> 00:17:43,462
and just sort of unwind.
583
00:17:43,462 --> 00:17:45,431
And Polly
and I also do something
584
00:17:45,431 --> 00:17:46,331
now once a week, which is.
585
00:17:46,331 --> 00:17:47,466
We go once a week.
586
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:48,667
We take an evening
587
00:17:48,667 --> 00:17:51,203
where we go to yoga
together for an hour,
588
00:17:51,203 --> 00:17:52,471
and then we get a cup of soup
589
00:17:52,471 --> 00:17:53,972
and air one,
you know, that's amazing.
590
00:17:53,972 --> 00:17:55,674
I feel like you probably sleep
591
00:17:55,674 --> 00:17:56,875
really well that night.
592
00:17:56,975 --> 00:17:58,911
I only did
yoga like three times.
593
00:17:58,911 --> 00:18:01,013
Like last September
in my whole life.
594
00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:02,915
But I distinctly
595
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:04,183
remember sleeping
596
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:05,551
very, very well because I.
597
00:18:05,551 --> 00:18:07,386
Yeah, I think that's
also the nervous system
598
00:18:07,386 --> 00:18:08,587
calms down.
599
00:18:08,654 --> 00:18:09,822
Yeah. That's so fun.
600
00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:11,023
Yeah. It's really no good.
601
00:18:11,156 --> 00:18:12,224
And the air one soup
602
00:18:12,224 --> 00:18:12,758
because we
603
00:18:12,758 --> 00:18:15,260
wanted to have a date night,
but we honestly didn't
604
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:17,429
want it to cost $300.
605
00:18:17,996 --> 00:18:20,232
And we both are getting
kind of stiff.
606
00:18:20,232 --> 00:18:21,166
Yeah.
607
00:18:21,166 --> 00:18:21,800
So we're like
608
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,068
let's do something together.
609
00:18:23,068 --> 00:18:23,702
That's.
610
00:18:23,702 --> 00:18:25,003
And it's kind of cute to take,
611
00:18:25,003 --> 00:18:26,638
you know,
go with your partner.
612
00:18:26,672 --> 00:18:28,407
Do you guys hold
hands at the end?
613
00:18:28,407 --> 00:18:28,874
Sometimes.
614
00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:30,709
Like,
sometimes we touch each other
615
00:18:30,709 --> 00:18:32,211
gently throughout the class.
616
00:18:32,211 --> 00:18:33,412
Yeah, yeah.
617
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:35,080
Okay.
618
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,583
So would you also say,
619
00:18:38,417 --> 00:18:38,784
before
620
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:40,252
we move on to kind of like you
621
00:18:40,252 --> 00:18:43,455
sharing more about your doing
well subscription
622
00:18:43,455 --> 00:18:46,091
and your annual or biannual.
623
00:18:46,425 --> 00:18:47,126
Yeah. No.
624
00:18:47,126 -->
00:18:48,794
What would it be
called by yearly?
625
00:18:49,161 --> 00:18:51,296
I always get these wrong
every twice a year.
626
00:18:51,330 --> 00:18:52,164
Yeah, twice a year.
627
00:18:52,164 --> 00:18:53,198
Sounds great.
628
00:18:53,198 --> 00:18:54,733
Good twice a year. Groups.
629
00:18:54,733 --> 00:18:56,135
And also you're one on ones
630
00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:57,336
are the subscription
631
00:18:57,469 --> 00:18:58,770
when people come,
632
00:18:59,538 --> 00:19:00,339
wouldn't you agree
633
00:19:00,339 --> 00:19:01,707
that a lot of people
really don't
634
00:19:01,707 --> 00:19:02,908
have,
635
00:19:03,208 --> 00:19:04,710
a, a consistent
636
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:05,911
morning routine like they,
637
00:19:05,911 --> 00:19:07,212
they sort of know what it is,
638
00:19:07,212 --> 00:19:08,680
but they're not doing it
every day.
639
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:10,449
And when you're helping them.
640
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:11,850
Yeah,
just speak a little bit about
641
00:19:11,850 --> 00:19:14,086
like something
that you've found
642
00:19:14,086 --> 00:19:15,921
through people working
through their routines.
643
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:19,024
And then anything you would
like us to know about doing.
644
00:19:19,024 --> 00:19:20,893
Well. Yeah. Well,
645
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:24,596
I think what happens is
646
00:19:25,397 --> 00:19:25,998
what I love
647
00:19:25,998 --> 00:19:28,133
about your approach
in your work
648
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:29,501
and in your way of life
649
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,171
is how you break the day down,
650
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:33,405
how you break the hours
651
00:19:33,405 --> 00:19:35,574
down, how you look at a year,
how you look at a month,
652
00:19:35,574 --> 00:19:36,975
how you look at a week,
how you look at a day
653
00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:38,177
and how you look at a moment.
654
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:41,280
And I find that people are,
655
00:19:42,581 --> 00:19:44,249
easily discouraged
656
00:19:44,249 --> 00:19:45,817
when they can't
get a whole day right,
657
00:19:46,084 --> 00:19:48,253
or they can't get a whole week
right, or they can't
658
00:19:48,253 --> 00:19:49,488
get a diet,
659
00:19:49,488 --> 00:19:50,923
you know, quote
unquote, right.
660
00:19:51,356 --> 00:19:53,125
And what I really emphasize
661
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:55,561
is small actions
662
00:19:55,827 --> 00:19:57,196
and small actions
663
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:58,630
that over time,
664
00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:59,932
have a big impact.
665
00:20:00,165 --> 00:20:02,568
And and if you think about
your morning,
666
00:20:02,568 --> 00:20:03,902
it's a third of your day.
667
00:20:03,902 --> 00:20:06,772
So if you can get a few
668
00:20:06,772 --> 00:20:08,707
things locked into the morning
669
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:12,945
that has such an impact
over time.
670
00:20:12,945 --> 00:20:14,880
Right. And so,
671
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:17,316
I work with people
672
00:20:17,316 --> 00:20:19,017
really to take a look
673
00:20:19,017 --> 00:20:21,620
at what their day looks like
and how can we
674
00:20:21,620 --> 00:20:22,988
make these small adjustments
675
00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:24,256
so that they feel
676
00:20:24,289 --> 00:20:26,491
more capable
and more accomplished?
677
00:20:27,125 --> 00:20:28,894
And then really help people,
678
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:30,963
understand that we're hard
679
00:20:30,963 --> 00:20:32,164
wired for novelty.
680
00:20:32,164 --> 00:20:34,032
And so it's very difficult
681
00:20:34,032 --> 00:20:35,300
to not want
682
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:38,003
to purchase something or
683
00:20:38,303 --> 00:20:39,805
do something drastic
684
00:20:39,805 --> 00:20:41,406
or intense for their health.
685
00:20:41,406 --> 00:20:42,941
It's way more boring
686
00:20:42,941 --> 00:20:44,476
to drink your water,
687
00:20:44,643 --> 00:20:45,711
go to bed and wake up
688
00:20:45,711 --> 00:20:47,012
at the same time every day.
689
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:47,913
Oh my goodness.
690
00:20:47,913 --> 00:20:49,214
Get a little bit of sunshine
691
00:20:49,214 --> 00:20:50,916
directly into your eyeballs.
692
00:20:51,984 --> 00:20:52,484
You know,
693
00:20:52,484 --> 00:20:54,886
all the little things
that I work pair
694
00:20:54,886 --> 00:20:57,422
one meal a day with leafy
greens like this,
695
00:20:57,422 --> 00:20:58,590
these kinds of actions.
696
00:20:58,590 --> 00:20:59,958
So I really help people build
697
00:20:59,958 --> 00:21:02,160
these doable actions
into their life.
698
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,996
But when I'm working
with someone one on one,
699
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:06,064
we're really refining
700
00:21:06,064 --> 00:21:07,332
and customizing,
701
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:08,767
our routine
702
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:12,137
to support their lifestyle,
their circumstances,
703
00:21:12,137 --> 00:21:13,705
their preferences,
their health history.
704
00:21:13,705 --> 00:21:14,906
So it's very custom.
705
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:16,141
And then,
706
00:21:16,708 --> 00:21:18,176
the membership is a little bit
707
00:21:18,176 --> 00:21:19,778
more broad
708
00:21:19,778 --> 00:21:21,680
but interesting topics too.
709
00:21:21,747 --> 00:21:22,247
Yeah.
710
00:21:22,247 --> 00:21:23,982
And the membership,
one of my favorite things
711
00:21:23,982 --> 00:21:25,350
about it is once a month
712
00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:27,519
and I do a cooking demo,
713
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:29,454
and we really show people
714
00:21:29,454 --> 00:21:31,156
the food that we cook
and eat at home.
715
00:21:31,156 --> 00:21:32,491
And it's all less
716
00:21:32,491 --> 00:21:34,159
than ten minutes
and so beautiful.
717
00:21:34,159 --> 00:21:36,261
Mostly
three ingredients, usually so,
718
00:21:38,163 --> 00:21:39,598
and I think that's kind of
719
00:21:40,565 --> 00:21:42,234
what I'm all about with doing
720
00:21:42,234 -->
00:21:43,735
well is just making
721
00:21:43,735 --> 00:21:45,737
this more approachable and
722
00:21:46,838 --> 00:21:48,040
really,
723
00:21:48,774 --> 00:21:50,842
I'm really
I believe that health
724
00:21:50,842 --> 00:21:52,210
is living with ease,
725
00:21:52,411 --> 00:21:53,445
you know, feeling
726
00:21:53,445 --> 00:21:54,880
more ease in our experience.
727
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,783
And so it really does help
to have routines in place,
728
00:21:58,050 --> 00:21:59,284
because I know
you speak to the
729
00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:00,485
so often
730
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:02,187
people get confused
and think a
731
00:22:02,220 --> 00:22:04,022
that a routine is like
from when you wake up
732
00:22:04,022 --> 00:22:05,023
until when you go to bed.
733
00:22:05,023 --> 00:22:07,326
It can be a few things
734
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:08,527
throughout the day.
735
00:22:09,394 --> 00:22:10,996
Because having those things
736
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:12,698
in place really illuminate
737
00:22:12,731 --> 00:22:15,067
and allow us to be more fluid
738
00:22:15,067 --> 00:22:16,335
and more spontaneous
739
00:22:16,335 --> 00:22:17,569
where we have
740
00:22:17,569 --> 00:22:19,204
the space to do so, right?
741
00:22:20,005 --> 00:22:20,205
Yeah.
742
00:22:20,205 --> 00:22:22,474
It's like this structure
creates freedom, right?
743
00:22:22,474 --> 00:22:23,742
Everyone wants freedom
744
00:22:24,042 --> 00:22:25,711
to do
all the things that they love,
745
00:22:26,244 --> 00:22:27,512
but they have to have a couple
746
00:22:27,512 --> 00:22:29,081
anchors, couple structures.
747
00:22:29,081 --> 00:22:30,782
Like,
I like that you highlighted.
748
00:22:30,782 --> 00:22:32,084
It doesn't have to be from
the mommy wake
749
00:22:32,084 --> 00:22:33,518
up to the mommy,
your kids go to school, or
750
00:22:33,518 --> 00:22:34,953
the moment kids are at school,
751
00:22:34,953 --> 00:22:36,121
to the mommy you go to work.
752
00:22:36,121 --> 00:22:37,289
It can just be things
753
00:22:37,289 --> 00:22:39,091
throughout the 24 hour period.
754
00:22:39,691 --> 00:22:40,926
And I really want
755
00:22:40,926 --> 00:22:42,227
to highlight what you said
756
00:22:42,227 --> 00:22:44,763
about successful things
757
00:22:44,763 --> 00:22:46,732
that can compound. Yes.
758
00:22:47,299 --> 00:22:48,233
If people were
759
00:22:48,233 --> 00:22:49,801
just able
to focus on their sleep
760
00:22:49,801 --> 00:22:52,270
patterns,
they might not need, you know,
761
00:22:52,270 --> 00:22:53,805
x, x amount of beauty
762
00:22:53,805 --> 00:22:55,140
creams, you know, so
763
00:22:55,507 --> 00:22:57,776
I'm not saying anything bad
about the beauty creams.
764
00:22:57,776 --> 00:22:58,977
I'm just saying, like,
765
00:22:59,444 --> 00:23:03,281
there are things
that we can do that are easier
766
00:23:03,281 --> 00:23:06,118
and to blur
that will really help
767
00:23:06,118 --> 00:23:07,953
our blood work, help our body,
768
00:23:07,953 --> 00:23:09,121
help our mental health.
769
00:23:09,321 --> 00:23:10,422
And then from there
770
00:23:10,422 --> 00:23:12,891
we can build extra extras
that usually
771
00:23:13,058 --> 00:23:15,293
you have to go to go
to get a service done
772
00:23:15,293 --> 00:23:16,495
or you have to pay for it.
773
00:23:16,495 --> 00:23:17,896
It might not be
in your budget.
774
00:23:18,563 --> 00:23:19,598
Yeah, I think that
775
00:23:19,598 --> 00:23:20,799
that's something
776
00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:22,401
the whole Meredith Organics
777
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:24,469
team always talks
about is and again,
778
00:23:24,469 --> 00:23:25,670
there is nothing wrong
779
00:23:25,670 --> 00:23:26,905
with Elite Wellness.
780
00:23:27,205 --> 00:23:29,074
But I always say to like mer
with organics, look,
781
00:23:29,074 --> 00:23:30,942
I want to help
people have health
782
00:23:30,942 --> 00:23:32,210
education, have tools
783
00:23:32,210 --> 00:23:33,578
that are accessible
784
00:23:33,578 --> 00:23:36,114
within their home unit
785
00:23:36,114 --> 00:23:37,682
that they're not, you know,
786
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:40,352
might not fit the budget,
787
00:23:40,352 --> 00:23:42,721
might not have time to go
do those things,
788
00:23:42,888 --> 00:23:45,190
kind of figure out
what do I have the budget for?
789
00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:46,658
What do I have the time for
790
00:23:47,492 --> 00:23:48,260
that it creates
791
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:49,594
less stress, not more.
792
00:23:49,728 --> 00:23:51,229
And first start there.
793
00:23:51,229 --> 00:23:53,131
Yeah,
get all of those things right.
794
00:23:53,131 --> 00:23:54,633
Get all of those things
buttoned up
795
00:23:54,633 --> 00:23:55,801
and then,
796
00:23:56,001 --> 00:23:56,635
branch out
797
00:23:56,635 --> 00:23:59,037
to other more exciting
potentially,
798
00:23:59,037 --> 00:24:00,238
like you said.
799
00:24:00,305 --> 00:24:00,672
Yeah.
800
00:24:00,672 --> 00:24:02,941
And everything builds. Right.
801
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:04,242
And and these things,
802
00:24:04,242 --> 00:24:05,444
like, I feel like you've
803
00:24:05,577 --> 00:24:07,412
said this to me,
brick by brick,
804
00:24:07,412 --> 00:24:09,281
you know,
one decision at a time.
805
00:24:09,514 --> 00:24:10,515
And that's another thing
806
00:24:10,515 --> 00:24:12,684
I would love to say, which is,
807
00:24:14,553 --> 00:24:15,720
you know,
808
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,388
an advanced
809
00:24:16,388 --> 00:24:19,157
practitioner is not perfect
all the time
810
00:24:19,157 --> 00:24:20,358
and doesn't get the routine
811
00:24:20,358 --> 00:24:21,693
right every day.
812
00:24:21,693 --> 00:24:23,462
But an advanced practitioner
813
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:25,630
is able to return
to the routine
814
00:24:25,997 --> 00:24:27,766
and return gently,
815
00:24:27,766 --> 00:24:29,334
returns swiftly, and,
816
00:24:29,334 --> 00:24:30,769
I hope, return
with a little bit
817
00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:33,405
of a sense of humor
or like a game mentality.
818
00:24:33,772 --> 00:24:35,774
And a morning
routine is so beautiful
819
00:24:35,807 --> 00:24:37,642
because it's something
820
00:24:37,642 --> 00:24:39,211
that's quite easy
to return to,
821
00:24:39,211 --> 00:24:42,180
because each morning
is a new beginning.
822
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:43,915
And so we can think,
okay, well,
823
00:24:43,915 --> 00:24:45,116
the day might have,
824
00:24:45,116 --> 00:24:47,018
you know, unraveled
a little bit.
825
00:24:47,018 --> 00:24:48,687
We all get a little less
focused,
826
00:24:48,687 --> 00:24:49,955
a little more tired,
827
00:24:49,955 --> 00:24:51,990
maybe irritable towards
the end of the day.
828
00:24:52,290 --> 00:24:53,492
But we have tomorrow
829
00:24:53,492 --> 00:24:54,993
to return to the routine.
830
00:24:54,993 --> 00:24:57,395
And I think that beautiful
well, having a routine,
831
00:24:57,395 --> 00:24:59,431
you have to have one
to return, right.
832
00:24:59,431 --> 00:25:01,233
So these little things,
833
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:03,535
makes such a difference.
834
00:25:03,902 --> 00:25:07,572
I also because that was very
beautiful, what you just said.
835
00:25:07,572 --> 00:25:09,608
So I wanted to say that
836
00:25:09,608 --> 00:25:10,976
I also found
837
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:12,611
that when people are going
through really
838
00:25:13,178 --> 00:25:14,980
tough, challenging times
839
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:16,181
where they feel like
840
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:17,415
they're not going to make it,
841
00:25:18,316 --> 00:25:20,018
that is like also an anchor,
842
00:25:20,418 --> 00:25:21,753
like, okay, like I feel like
843
00:25:22,387 --> 00:25:23,588
potentially,
844
00:25:23,622 --> 00:25:24,589
again, different challenges
845
00:25:24,589 --> 00:25:25,790
that everyone goes through.
846
00:25:26,057 --> 00:25:28,860
They can go back to
the routine, okay, whatever.
847
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:32,397
I don't want to do all five
things, but can I do 1 or 2
848
00:25:32,664 --> 00:25:33,632
and make sure my kids
849
00:25:33,632 --> 00:25:34,900
get to school safely
850
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:36,701
or I get to work, whatever,
851
00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:37,969
at on time?
852
00:25:37,969 --> 00:25:40,238
But yeah, to return,
853
00:25:40,238 --> 00:25:41,907
I think that's very beautiful.
854
00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:43,041
Very important
855
00:25:43,041 --> 00:25:44,743
to have a morning,
a nighttime routine
856
00:25:44,743 --> 00:25:45,944
that you can return to
857
00:25:45,944 --> 00:25:47,913
and you have free will to do,
858
00:25:47,946 --> 00:25:49,147
you know, whatever you want
859
00:25:49,247 --> 00:25:50,882
within that,
860
00:25:50,882 --> 00:25:52,183
that list that you've created
861
00:25:52,183 --> 00:25:53,385
for yourself.
862
00:25:53,652 --> 00:25:54,853
I
was hoping
863
00:25:54,853 --> 00:25:57,489
before we end the podcast
for a minute or two,
864
00:25:57,522 --> 00:26:01,159
you could share with us just
about your beautiful boys.
865
00:26:01,159 --> 00:26:02,928
And like any words
866
00:26:02,928 --> 00:26:04,129
of encouragement
867
00:26:04,329 --> 00:26:07,065
for not just parents
who are listening,
868
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:08,800
but we also have single
869
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,201
dads, single moms,
870
00:26:10,368 --> 00:26:12,671
we have foster foster mothers,
871
00:26:12,904 --> 00:26:14,272
we have teachers,
872
00:26:14,739 --> 00:26:16,775
mentors, we have caregivers.
873
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:18,476
So some people
don't have children,
874
00:26:18,476 --> 00:26:20,579
but they are taking care
of their elderly parents.
875
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:22,080
They're responsible
for their pets.
876
00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:23,381
So like anything
877
00:26:23,381 --> 00:26:25,450
you want to say,
just send an encouragement
878
00:26:25,450 --> 00:26:27,152
wave for people
so they feel they
879
00:26:27,152 --> 00:26:28,520
are not alone. Yes.
880
00:26:29,521 --> 00:26:30,455
That you would like to share
881
00:26:30,455 --> 00:26:31,690
throughout your own journey
882
00:26:31,690 --> 00:26:32,891
or the journey of
883
00:26:32,958 --> 00:26:34,025
being the mom to two
884
00:26:34,025 --> 00:26:35,226
beautiful boys?
885
00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:36,628
Well,
886
00:26:37,896 --> 00:26:39,097
I'll share
887
00:26:39,130 --> 00:26:42,601
perhaps something
that I'm working on, which is,
888
00:26:43,535 --> 00:26:45,604
because I'm quite,
889
00:26:46,204 --> 00:26:48,039
you know,
I'm routine oriented,
890
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:50,909
and I also am very punctual.
891
00:26:50,909 --> 00:26:54,045
And I have a little bit of,
good.
892
00:26:54,145 --> 00:26:55,380
Well, my husband would say I'm
893
00:26:55,380 --> 00:26:56,748
a little bit of a goody goody.
894
00:26:57,649 --> 00:26:58,717
And so something
895
00:26:58,717 --> 00:27:00,352
I'm working on with
my children
896
00:27:00,352 --> 00:27:01,653
is not rushing them,
897
00:27:02,187 --> 00:27:03,722
and I'm not great at it
898
00:27:04,289 --> 00:27:05,991
because I'm always like,
we got to go, we got to go.
899
00:27:06,024 --> 00:27:08,393
We got to be on time,
you know? And,
900
00:27:09,761 --> 00:27:13,732
and just being aware
901
00:27:13,732 --> 00:27:17,102
of rushing and,
902
00:27:17,969 --> 00:27:21,640
and allowing my intention
903
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,907
to not rush them as much
904
00:27:22,907 --> 00:27:24,476
to also help me slow down
905
00:27:24,843 --> 00:27:26,177
and be in the moment
906
00:27:26,177 --> 00:27:28,647
more and notice
this goes back a little bit
907
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:29,881
to what we were talking about
before.
908
00:27:29,881 --> 00:27:31,149
Best case scenario.
909
00:27:33,451 --> 00:27:34,686
It's really
910
00:27:34,686 --> 00:27:36,187
easy for us to notice
911
00:27:36,187 --> 00:27:37,522
what's uncomfortable
912
00:27:37,522 --> 00:27:38,790
or discomfort
913
00:27:38,790 --> 00:27:40,959
or not going our way, and
914
00:27:40,959 --> 00:27:42,827
I actually have to ask myself
915
00:27:42,827 --> 00:27:44,262
to notice what feels good.
916
00:27:44,696 --> 00:27:45,897
And so sometimes when I'm
917
00:27:45,897 --> 00:27:47,432
sitting with my child,
918
00:27:47,632 --> 00:27:49,034
I have to remind myself,
919
00:27:49,401 --> 00:27:51,169
oh, this feels so good.
920
00:27:51,736 --> 00:27:52,771
I'm just going to stay
921
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:55,607
in this moment extra
and not rush
922
00:27:55,607 --> 00:27:57,442
to get to the playdate,
or not rush
923
00:27:57,442 --> 00:27:58,810
to get the dinner on the table
924
00:27:58,810 --> 00:28:01,379
and just be in this moment,
925
00:28:03,248 --> 00:28:05,183
with my child,
who's so good at that, right?
926
00:28:05,183 --> 00:28:06,751
Who's so good at
being in the present moment.
927
00:28:06,751 --> 00:28:09,087
So I don't know if that's
928
00:28:09,087 --> 00:28:10,422
encouraging to anyone.
929
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:11,823
I think that was probably
930
00:28:11,823 --> 00:28:13,358
one of the best things
you can say
931
00:28:13,858 --> 00:28:16,094
because, stress
932
00:28:16,094 --> 00:28:17,395
or rushing creates
933
00:28:17,395 --> 00:28:19,330
just like so much havoc
934
00:28:19,330 --> 00:28:21,232
on the nervous system
and the cortisol.
935
00:28:21,232 --> 00:28:22,801
And people don't feel good
936
00:28:22,801 --> 00:28:24,002
when they're rushing
937
00:28:24,102 --> 00:28:25,103
and we're all rushing.
938
00:28:25,103 --> 00:28:27,305
Feels good like
no one feels good even around.
939
00:28:27,305 --> 00:28:28,573
Like we're all rushing. Yeah.
940
00:28:28,606 --> 00:28:30,275
And we're also coming out
less.
941
00:28:30,275 --> 00:28:31,376
Yeah. Incredible.
942
00:28:31,376 --> 00:28:32,577
I think that that was
943
00:28:32,844 --> 00:28:34,212
the most perfect thing that
944
00:28:34,412 --> 00:28:36,581
probably a lot of people would
say, like, that is so true.
945
00:28:36,581 --> 00:28:39,150
Like, let me drop
into the present moment.
946
00:28:39,150 --> 00:28:40,218
Let me see. Okay.
947
00:28:40,218 --> 00:28:41,686
This feels really good.
948
00:28:41,986 --> 00:28:43,188
And kind of just like slowing
949
00:28:43,188 --> 00:28:45,023
slow down slowing down. Yeah.
950
00:28:45,023 --> 00:28:46,991
Slowing down.
And it's it's it's
951
00:28:46,991 --> 00:28:48,293
so counterintuitive
952
00:28:48,293 --> 00:28:49,494
and it's so radical.
953
00:28:49,894 --> 00:28:51,296
It's so radical in this day
954
00:28:51,296 --> 00:28:53,364
and age to even to slow down
955
00:28:53,698 --> 00:28:54,566
how much our children
956
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:56,601
are exposed to or rushing them
957
00:28:56,601 --> 00:28:59,070
to out of childhood, you know.
958
00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:00,572
So any opportunity
959
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:03,475
I feel
like to move more slowly.
960
00:29:04,809 --> 00:29:06,144
It's very radical.
961
00:29:06,511 --> 00:29:07,011
Yeah.
962
00:29:07,011 --> 00:29:08,213
I love it so much.
963
00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:09,814
So thank you so much
964
00:29:09,814 --> 00:29:11,116
