00:00:34.219 --> 00:00:43.340
Megan and I wanted to hop on here so that we could talk all about Catalyst, which is our adventure retreat happening in May of next year, 2027.
00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:48.700
2027 seems like not a real year to me.
00:00:52.460 --> 00:00:54.060
We're less than a year away.
00:00:54.219 --> 00:00:58.299
We've had, I know I've had a lot of people ask me a bunch of questions about Catalyst.
00:00:58.540 --> 00:00:59.900
There's some misconceptions about it.
00:00:59.980 --> 00:01:01.980
I'm sure you've had a lot of questions too, Megan.
00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:13.180
So we thought it would be best to just hop on, do a live, record it, repost it so that people can refer to it with the most frequently asked questions we get.
00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:26.859
And that way, people, you know, ladies out there, you have a better idea of what exactly Catalyst is, what our goals are, um, and really what the whole purpose of this retreat is.
00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:36.219
Retreat adventure, hard thing, whatever you want to call it, that we planned for 12 women and us.
00:01:36.620 --> 00:01:38.460
Yeah, it's I'm so excited for it.
00:01:38.620 --> 00:01:48.060
Um, you know what's so interesting is, you know, just to touch on this briefly before we go into the I capital list of all the questions we've gotten, starting with like more common ones.
00:01:48.219 --> 00:01:56.460
Um, but one of the things just to talk about before we get too far into it is, you know, our motivation for this really is there's two things.
00:01:56.620 --> 00:02:02.379
One, we watched our husbands go and do a this similar activity, and it was like, go do these hard things.
00:02:02.460 --> 00:02:10.780
And so many of the hard stuff, we know that our growth comes from doing things that challenge us, both mentally, emotionally, spiritually, in all aspects of our life.
00:02:11.100 --> 00:02:18.699
But there's not as many women-specific areas that is in the do hard movement.
00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:24.540
Most of it is women joining movements that are very focused on the men experience.
00:02:24.699 --> 00:02:32.139
And I think there's really something special to be had when a group of women get together and go and do hard work together.
00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:36.540
Like we are, we're meant to be in a community and rise together.
00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:41.180
And so I'm so excited just for that alone for Catalyst.
00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:44.219
Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun.
00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:57.340
And like you said, watching our husbands go through this, the difficult part or the hard of the challenge that they did was not purely just the hike in the Grand Canyon, although it theirs was insane.
00:02:58.539 --> 00:03:03.819
It was making the time for training, figuring out your schedule, working with your partner.
00:03:04.699 --> 00:03:17.180
The amount of sacrifice that both Carrick and I had to do to make sure that he could achieve this goal he had set out and commitment he had set out for himself was a lot for both of us.
00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:25.420
And I think, well, I know because he told me when he was in it, he had that to pull from.
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:29.340
Like, I put in all this work, I'm doing this for me, I'm doing this for my family.
00:03:29.659 --> 00:03:32.300
And um, that really pulled him through.
00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:38.780
Sometime we should just like talk about what they did because it was insane, but it was a really rough hike for hike for them.
00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:47.099
But on the other end, he was like, Whoa, it was amazing that I could prove to myself I did this crazy, truly insane, truly insane hike.
00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:50.300
It was an awesome off a beaten path for sure.
00:03:50.460 --> 00:03:57.580
So the ram to ramp they were planning on doing, and so it made it, they had new difficulties that other groups might not have had.
00:03:57.819 --> 00:04:14.060
Yes, and I feel like when we saw this, we were like, we need to do something like this for women because the organizer that did the hike for the men, uh, we love him, we know him personally, and he was like, nah, just for dudes.
00:04:14.140 --> 00:04:17.340
And we're like, cool, because we want to do it just for girls.
00:04:17.899 --> 00:04:23.259
Yeah, and we're all I mean, and that goes into the first question we get are like, are you just like putting together a hike?
00:04:23.420 --> 00:04:24.939
And we're not, we're not at all.
00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:27.340
What we're doing is we're gonna be doing rim to rim.
00:04:27.420 --> 00:04:52.379
So we were worried it wasn't gonna be open, so some of the wordings a little interesting online, but we're doing rim to rim hike in the Grand Canyon, all organized, and that is the hard thing physically we're doing together, but we're actually gonna be doing a whole day of mental fortitude before we go into that, where we focus on our goals, developing ourselves so deep into like getting life and making sure we're following those goals.
00:04:52.459 --> 00:04:56.620
And we have our goal workshop that we're gonna be or we will be giving out for free actually in October.
00:04:56.780 --> 00:04:57.819
So we're really excited for that.
00:04:57.980 --> 00:05:00.300
So you'll have that set up and it's gonna be a continuation.
00:05:00.379 --> 00:05:03.259
So this is really building together as a group.
00:05:03.339 --> 00:05:13.019
So it's not just a hike by any means, this is a personal growth and development with actual depth and applicable items that are gonna move us into our higher selves.
00:05:13.339 --> 00:05:22.459
Yeah, so it's not what it's not, it's not a networking thing, it's not a sales pitch for us to come in and sell you something.
00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:27.259
Really, we are just the organizer of this thing that we think is really cool.
00:05:27.899 --> 00:05:28.699
Absolutely.
00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:34.939
And we're there, even though

it's not networking, there is con you're gonna have I mean you're gonna make connections with the other women.
00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:36.860
You do something hard.
00:05:37.579 --> 00:05:38.300
You know what I mean?
00:05:38.459 --> 00:05:44.459
Like you're always gonna be bonded with this person because we went through this one thing no one else will understand together.
00:05:44.780 --> 00:05:45.100
Okay.
00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:49.259
Yeah.
00:05:50.459 --> 00:05:53.579
So that is what Catalyst is.
00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:54.620
Yes.
00:05:55.019 --> 00:05:56.139
So questions.
00:05:56.300 --> 00:05:57.019
Are you ready?
00:05:57.420 --> 00:06:01.899
So one of the first questions I I we got right away was, well, I'm not in shape for it.
00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:02.939
Do I need to be?
00:06:03.899 --> 00:06:07.500
You need to have a certain level of athleticism.
00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:10.220
Does that mean you need it right now in this moment?
00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:13.100
No, we've got nine months.
00:06:13.899 --> 00:06:15.180
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:26.780
About nine months to build up the endurance, the muscle um strength, mobility, all that you'll need in order to complete this hike.
00:06:26.939 --> 00:06:34.060
Now, I will say the rim-to-rim is what would you say, Megan, approximately 20-ish miles?
00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:35.259
23 miles.
00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:36.459
23 miles.
00:06:36.699 --> 00:06:39.660
So it's not like just a walk in the park.
00:06:39.819 --> 00:06:42.379
We're gonna have to train for it.
00:06:42.540 --> 00:06:45.500
Um, but it is a very doable.
00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:48.620
There are thousands of people that do this hike every year.
00:06:48.780 --> 00:06:51.899
And there's people that are young, and there's people in their 70s.
00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:53.819
I'm sure there's people in their 80s that do it.
00:06:54.060 --> 00:06:56.139
Yeah, yeah, there's people in all the walks of life.
00:06:56.220 --> 00:07:05.420
So you don't have to be in shape to do the walk today, but you do need at least line of, you know, if you're somebody who really struggles with walking, severe pain, this probably isn't the right event for you.
00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:11.180
But just like an average Joe Snow, and you're like, Yeah, I I can do stuff, but like I haven't really trained before.
00:07:11.259 --> 00:07:12.459
That's not a problem.
00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:16.459
I'm interested, I'm actually working to grow a training plan, so it's tested.
00:07:16.699 --> 00:07:19.500
We have developed it, and now I'm testing that training plan.
00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:22.939
And I'm actually gonna be in October going to be doing the rim-to-rim with my husband.
00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:30.379
So everything we're doing with you is tested, and so you will have a program that works for you to implement.
00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:35.660
And if there's friends going with you, you guys can train together and we'll have meetups in each of our people to train.
00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:41.100
So um, it's completely, you know, we're gonna be working together to train you, and you're gonna have a game plan.
00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:44.300
So you do not need to like right now be in shape to do that walk.
00:07:44.459 --> 00:07:46.379
You just have to be willing to get in shape.
00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:51.660
Yeah, and also you don't have to, like Megan said, make any of the training plans yourself.
00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:55.660
Now, if you wanted to do extra stuff, go for it.
00:07:55.819 --> 00:08:01.100
But we were we're going to have a set very specific training plan for you.
00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:05.500
So you it takes the guesswork of like, what am I supposed to do so that I can be ready?
00:08:05.579 --> 00:08:06.300
We'll have that.
00:08:06.540 --> 00:08:06.860
Yeah.
00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:12.620
Okay, so the next common thing I got from a couple different people, which I was a little surprised on this one.
00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:18.540
Um, people were really worried about showing up with strangers.
00:08:19.180 --> 00:08:22.540
Oh, I think you know, I'm not surprised by that.
00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:24.620
I think anyone would be worried about that.
00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:27.579
Nervousness, but it was one of their hesitations.
00:08:27.660 --> 00:08:30.300
Like, some people are like, hey, I am interested.
00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:30.939
I'm so nervous.
00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:33.980
I show up and maybe like I can't connect with everyone.
00:08:34.139 --> 00:08:37.579
And so I wanted to like just rest assured, there's a couple things.
00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:42.299
When things and activities, this seems to be a problem, just to go back to where I go to this.
00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:43.899
This seems to be a problem in society in general.
00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:45.500
People are like, I want to try this new thing.
00:08:45.579 --> 00:08:48.299
So it's not just with catalysts, it's I want to try something new.
00:08:48.539 --> 00:08:52.860
And then it's like, oh, well, I I'm so scared because what if nobody likes me?
00:08:53.180 --> 00:09:01.019
The whole way to make friends is and to connections in this world is to do things that you want to do, to go after stuff that you want to go after.
00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:06.859
So if you go, I am so attracted to this opportunity for personal growth that seems very real.
00:09:07.019 --> 00:09:13.579
I want to work with women who and connect with women who are like me or at least have these this baseline interest.
00:09:14.380 --> 00:09:20.140
The way to do that is to do things that you love and are interested in.
00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:24.140
And when you connect, other like-minded people are interested in the same things you're interested in.
00:09:24.299 --> 00:09:29.019
So this is not, we're not gonna have these wild values that are completely different.
00:09:29.180 --> 00:09:34.380
The people that are showing up for this are people who value
growth, who value hard work, and who value connection.
00:09:34.539 --> 00:09:42.380
And so as a result, you guys are all gonna have the same baseline together and be able to connect because you're going.
00:09:42.460 --> 00:09:43.259
That's the first thing.
00:09:43.420 --> 00:09:46.779
The second thing is we're gonna be having meetups prior to going.
00:09:46.859 --> 00:09:49.180
So you're actually gonna get to see everyone's face before we even go.
00:09:49.339 --> 00:09:53.579
So they're not gonna be strangers by the time you enter the canyon together.
00:09:54.220 --> 00:09:55.099
I yes.
00:09:55.259 --> 00:10:08.220
So all of that, and I would also say if you have children, or you can just pretend you have children and your kid came to you and said, I want to do this thing, but I'm nervous that I don't know anyone and I'm scared about that.
00:10:08.380 --> 00:10:09.259
What would you tell them?
00:10:09.420 --> 00:10:11.819
Would you say, Oh, well, just stay home?
00:10:12.059 --> 00:10:13.740
I feel like none of us would say that.
00:10:13.900 --> 00:10:19.019
They'd be like, we would all say, you know what, you want to do it, go.
00:10:19.339 --> 00:10:22.059
It'll be a little uncomfy first meeting new people.
00:10:22.220 --> 00:10:27.180
It always is, but literally everyone there is going through the exact same thing.
00:10:27.660 --> 00:10:28.700
So it'll be fine.
00:10:29.180 --> 00:10:30.779
Everybody wants the same outcome.
00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:37.900
Like the reason you do hard things is because you want to be a better version of yourself and you want to see what life looks like when you're your best version, right?
00:10:38.140 --> 00:10:39.900
So a big thing.
00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:44.140
Um, next question uh pricing.
00:10:44.299 --> 00:10:46.059
What is included in it?
00:10:46.380 --> 00:10:57.019
Okay, so our pricing right now is 2400 and it includes essentially everything except your travel to the canyon.
00:10:57.259 --> 00:10:58.140
So, what is that?
00:10:58.299 --> 00:10:59.180
Let's break it down.
00:10:59.339 --> 00:11:07.579
Your lodging, all meals except trail meals, because that's something you'll we'll go over with training that's specific to you.
00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:12.460
We don't want to give you food that you didn't train with because that could lead to upset tummies.
00:11:12.779 --> 00:11:21.740
Um, your equipment, you don't need a lot of equipment, but you will need some equipment like shoes, a pack, water, um, poles.
00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:23.019
Highly recommend those.
00:11:23.180 --> 00:11:24.059
Though that's on you.
00:11:24.380 --> 00:11:30.779
We'll be providing a list of that so you can get it over time so you don't have to do like big purchases, or you can take half time to find it secondhand.
00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:35.099
And then really, I mean, that's it.
00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:37.980
We're gonna provide transportate transportation.
00:11:38.380 --> 00:11:44.779
Um, if you don't like we're
gonna stay on one side of the canyon, hike, and then we're gonna transport you back.
00:11:45.339 --> 00:11:47.420
Um and lodging.
00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:48.779
Yeah, like I said, lodging.
00:11:49.019 --> 00:11:51.500
Yeah, so a lot of stuff is included in it.
00:11:51.579 --> 00:12:07.900
It's not just the hike, it is um going to be everything Skylar mentioned, but it also includes the seminar of the hike, but it also is we're gonna, like I said before, we're gonna be doing workshops and meetups leading up to it, talking about training, talking about personal growth.
00:12:07.980 --> 00:12:14.619
So by the time we go into this, we're on the same page and ready to hit the ground running, both figuratively and literally.
00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:16.380
So it'll be very exciting.
00:12:16.539 --> 00:12:28.779
Um, but there's a lot included in the price for something like this because um this is our sort of our main thing that we are gonna be building Nate Women around and have been.
00:12:28.859 --> 00:12:33.180
Um, you know, this is the most cost efficient it's ever going to be.
00:12:33.339 --> 00:12:39.900
Um yes, this is actually a very pretty minimal, minimally priced event.
00:12:40.380 --> 00:12:50.460
Because, you know, what we're planning on building off of this is and is going to be every year, we're gonna be doing really specific experiences that are for women and for growth.
00:12:50.619 --> 00:12:56.619
And so this is probably one of the most affordable opportunities that is going to ever be available.
00:12:56.859 --> 00:13:09.019
And one of the things we promise with it is when we do things, I feel like there's two things about us that people need to know is one, like we don't just do things to do them, we do them because we're passionate about it and love it.
00:13:09.099 --> 00:13:17.660
And like it matters to us what your experience is like, it matters to us that this is quality, it's it has the value for it.
00:13:17.900 --> 00:13:21.339
So we will do everything we can do to go above and beyond.
00:13:21.420 --> 00:13:26.779
So you go, wow, more expensive.
00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:35.019
And um, and I think that's gonna be really important is so you know where we're coming from, is we are pouring everything into it to make sure it is amazing.
00:13:35.420 --> 00:13:40.859
Um and if you're like, I really want to do it, but I don't have that chunk of money at once, we have payment plans available.
00:13:41.900 --> 00:13:44.859
Another note, because I get this question a lot too.
00:13:45.019 --> 00:13:56.059
I think people just automatically think, oh, Grand Canyon, we're staying in the canyon, like like tent in the canyon, and then I'm like, absolutely not.
00:13:56.460 --> 00:14:01.099
We're staying in a hotel, a nice hotel close to the canyon.
00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:05.579
Uh, so you will have a shower, you will have a bathroom, you will have a nice bed.
00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:09.660
Yes, the morning, the every night you will be in
bed.
00:14:09.819 --> 00:14:11.420
We're not roughing it and camping it.
00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:12.779
I no, no, no, no.
00:14:12.859 --> 00:14:14.059
That is not our style.
00:14:14.299 --> 00:14:20.619
Sleep is one of the most important things to me, and I am not getting good sleep in a canyon and in a tent, especially if there's rats.
00:14:20.940 --> 00:14:21.579
I don't like that.
00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:22.299
No, no, no.
00:14:22.619 --> 00:14:25.900
Fantastic, but I'm not gonna go um deeper into it.
00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:27.660
I'm sorry, my dog is making noise here.
00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:31.420
She has decided to come up and be loud now.
00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:39.579
It's not that loud, it just sounds like little like yeah, I didn't realize people were asking about yeah, that that one I thought was like a funny.
00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:45.420
I mean, I guess we don't explicitly say that on our website for the event.
00:14:45.579 --> 00:14:51.259
Um, but I guess they were just like, oh, in the Grand Canyon, like, are we camping?
00:14:51.420 --> 00:14:53.579
And I was like, we are not camping.
00:14:54.460 --> 00:14:56.700
No, we're not camping.
00:14:57.180 --> 00:15:00.619
Um, and when this takes place is May 13th.
00:15:00.779 --> 00:15:05.660
You guys will fly in and we'll have um a commencing dinner together.
00:15:06.460 --> 00:15:08.539
That is just gonna be all about getting to know each other.
00:15:08.619 --> 00:15:10.619
And I promise you we never do like the icebreakers.
00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:12.700
Like, tell us your favorite breakfast food.
00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:14.140
Three truths in a lot.
00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:16.539
I don't like that kind of stuff.
00:15:16.619 --> 00:15:17.500
Like, I want them.
00:15:17.900 --> 00:15:20.940
So we are going to be um an authenticity, right?
00:15:21.019 --> 00:15:22.140
So I want real connections.
00:15:22.299 --> 00:15:37.579
So we're gonna um facilitate a wonderful dinner just to really set the tone, and then the next day we'll go right into the full uh live workshop, and then the next morning we'll go into the hike and then we'll wake up and have a closing breakfast together before everyone goes off.
00:15:37.819 --> 00:15:46.700
So we're gonna be in our hotel most of the time, minus the time we're we're hiking, and so it's it is gonna be pretty nice, and you're gonna be well fed.
00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:48.539
Um, as well as we can.
00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:55.259
We are looking to do as well as we can for the area because there are interesting resources available.
00:15:56.779 --> 00:16:02.859
Yeah, so mid-May should be actually very nice um in the canyon.
00:16:03.099 --> 00:16:05.500
It's the first week in the canyon opens round around.
00:16:05.980 --> 00:16:12.700
It's before it gets really hot, which is a thing in the Grand Canyon.
00:16:12.940 --> 00:16:24.380
Um, our hike will be starting early because we do want to avoid like the really scorching heat, and also it will take
some time for us to go from one side to the other.
00:16:24.700 --> 00:16:27.500
How many hours would you guesstimate, Megan?
00:16:27.819 --> 00:16:30.460
It depends on speed, and so we'll probably have different groups.
00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:34.380
So no one's ever gonna be alone, but we're not gonna be going at the same speed.
00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:39.339
So we'll have probably three different groups of speeds, like a fast speed, middle speed, slow speed.
00:16:39.579 --> 00:16:42.460
Um, I mean, I think everyone's gonna get done within 12 hours.
00:16:42.779 --> 00:16:48.859
Um but the goal is to do um, ideally, we'd like to do 20 to 22 minutes.
00:16:49.339 --> 00:16:49.900
20 miles.
00:16:50.539 --> 00:16:51.819
So that's what we're gonna prepare for.
00:16:51.980 --> 00:16:55.019
So like you're not on, I know sometimes we were like, are we running it?
00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:56.140
There might be some time.
00:16:56.859 --> 00:16:57.740
We have plenty of time.
00:16:57.819 --> 00:17:04.539
Like it's a little different if you do rim to rim to rim, where you're doing like the 43 miles or 40 is like however long that is.
00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:11.819
You have to run then, but I think when you're doing rim to rim, we just have to keep up a really certain pace of hiking, excuse me, hiking.
00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:16.059
And and if you think about it, we'll be have we'll have a descent.
00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:29.099
So your speed will just naturally be a little faster, and then we'll have a straight, which should be pretty manageable to hold at a 21-ish minute mile.
00:17:29.259 --> 00:17:32.859
And then what the really where we're gonna see a slowdown is when we go up.
00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:33.740
Yeah.
00:17:33.980 --> 00:17:37.420
And there also is gonna be um break points, right?
00:17:37.579 --> 00:17:45.659
So there's this is a also, yeah, it's not a very it's not a um a trail that will not see anyone on.
00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:46.859
It's a very popular trail.
00:17:46.940 --> 00:17:52.460
So there's checkpoints there, so you were not like in a remote there's water, yeah.
00:17:52.539 --> 00:17:55.019
There's gonna be water stations if you're worried about that.
00:17:55.179 --> 00:18:05.659
Um, there's going to be um bathroom stations, and then there's also Phantom Ranch, which is at like the halfway point where you can actually get, they say the lemonade is worth getting and amazing.
00:18:05.740 --> 00:18:07.339
So um I believe it.
00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:09.500
But who doesn't want lemonade?
00:18:09.579 --> 00:18:10.700
Um refreshing.
00:18:11.179 --> 00:18:12.139
Exactly.
00:18:12.379 --> 00:18:14.700
Um have these different points.
00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:18.139
Uh, so you're not gonna be like on a trail and never see anyone.
00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:24.779
So, and like I said, no one's ever we'll have we have place, no one will ever be less than two people together.
00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:31.500
Um, but ideally we'd like to have a few more in staggered as we go, and that'll just naturally happen based on pace.
00:18:31.659 --> 00:18:34.859
Um, and that's part of the training is working up to that pace.
00:18:35.179 --> 00:18:46.139
Yeah, so I would say a learning experience for us from our husband's adventure summit is that um safety is a high priority for us.
00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:48.379
So no one will be hiking alone.
00:18:48.539 --> 00:18:56.859
We will have the GPS systems um so that we can call people for help and we know exactly where we are, the trail will be on there.
00:18:57.019 --> 00:19:17.980
It it obviously will have first aid kits um for emergencies, but we will do our very best and and cover all the bases that we have within our power to make sure that we avoid any type of injury or mishap that could potentially happen on any hike, really.
00:19:18.299 --> 00:19:21.819
Yeah, the best we can to make sure everything's gonna go safely.
00:19:22.059 --> 00:19:24.619
Um, yeah, so I I wouldn't worry about that.
00:19:24.779 --> 00:19:26.779
Like we're doing all the planning so you don't have to.
00:19:26.859 --> 00:19:40.139
And that's that's the fun, is you get to show up and you just have to focus on training and showing up, and then we focus on all the small details that keep you safe, keep you moving, and um focus on getting the task completed ultimately.
00:19:41.259 --> 00:19:47.339
But one of the other questions is how many people can go and like what's the urgency.
00:19:47.899 --> 00:19:51.819
So we have openings for 12 women, so not a whole lot.
00:19:52.139 --> 00:19:53.500
Yeah, it's very limited.
00:19:53.899 --> 00:19:59.339
And we've sold some slots already, so not all those 12 openings are available.
00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:08.059
So this will sell out, so it's really if you are interested, the biggest thing is like sign up.
00:20:08.139 --> 00:20:12.700
And because if you go to our website, you're gonna go to innatewomen.com, which I'll put it in the comments.
00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:14.779
Actually, I think I can put a link in here.
00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:17.099
Oh my gosh, please put the link in.
00:20:17.259 --> 00:20:22.379
Um, so innatewomen.com slash I think it's slash catalyst or maybe a slash retreat.
00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:22.859
Let me look.
00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:24.220
Slash retreat.
00:20:24.539 --> 00:20:27.899
And um, when you go there, there's a form to fill out.
00:20:28.139 --> 00:20:31.419
So one of the things we're we're gonna do is to chat and to make sure it's the right fit.
00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:33.339
Like I said, we want to set you up for success.
00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:37.980
So um you'll just fill out this form of um information.
00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:40.700
We'll set up a little call and we'll chat.
00:20:40.859 --> 00:20:49.899
And then we'll, as long as everything's a good fit and you have we answer all the questions that you have, then we'll go ahead and get you signed up and it'll start, you know, we can get you
on a payment plan.
00:20:49.980 --> 00:20:54.779
But either way, like if you want to do it, the first thing you have to do is fill this out.
00:20:55.819 --> 00:21:01.500
Uh so yeah, just go to our website and you'll find all of the details for signing up for Catalyst there.
00:21:01.740 --> 00:21:03.980
All right, Megan, what's the next question?
00:21:04.379 --> 00:21:10.940
Um, people want to know if it is a like who is it for ultimately?
00:21:11.179 --> 00:21:15.179
Which I think are like I think people are asking, like, am I the right person for it?
00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:21.099
Because I know we've we've said before, like, we're gonna talk and make sure you're the right fit, but what does that look like?
00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:23.419
What does that even mean when we say that?
00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:35.740
I think the biggest thing with this type of retreat is it's a woman who's looking for something that's a little different and child, just challenging, because it will be challenging to hike from one room of the canyon to the other rim of the canyon.
00:21:35.899 --> 00:21:41.579
So you need to be comfortable with putting yourself outside of your comfort zone a little bit mentally and physically.
00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:48.700
Um, so I would say women who are open to that, women who, like I said, are looking for something a little different.
00:21:48.859 --> 00:21:55.740
This is, I mean, I've never before our husbands did this, have have you ever seen a retreat like this, Megan?
00:21:56.379 --> 00:22:02.059
No, I was very aware of it, which is one of the reasons I was like, Frank, you have to go, because I put it on our personal bucket list.
00:22:02.539 --> 00:22:03.099
The hike.
00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:03.899
The hike, yeah.
00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:05.899
I was like, but not like an organized.
00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:06.859
No.
00:22:07.099 --> 00:22:16.700
So speaking of like retreats, like we've done retreats before, especially like personal growth base, and I I do enjoy them, but a lot of it is just sitting around and chatting, right?
00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:19.579
Like we're talking, I introduced new ideas.
00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:33.740
But there's always something sort of missing, or I'm always like, that was good, but I feel like this is so unique in the sense where it's an opportunity to really connect the physical and the mental part, which are together anyway.
00:22:34.059 --> 00:22:35.259
So no, it's it's really unique.
00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:39.419
So somebody who does want something different or has done retreats and is like, okay, well, I've done it.
00:22:39.579 --> 00:22:44.539
Okay, I want a different, I love retreats, but I need to do something different because they're starting to feel the same.
00:22:44.940 --> 00:22:47.819
I also think it's people who really ultimately want more out of life.
00:22:48.059 --> 00:22:55.419
Tends to be the people attracted to it, you know, the ones that are like, hey, like life is great, but
I really believe that we should make the best out of it.
00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:57.740
We need to create something bigger with our lives.
00:22:57.899 --> 00:23:04.379
Um, or just have that like desire, that inner voice of being like, there's more out there, there's more to gain in this world, there's more to grow.
00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:07.179
Um, those people seem very attracted to this.
00:23:07.819 --> 00:23:10.460
And I think just open-minded and kind people.
00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:14.139
Yeah, we're not no mean people allowed.
00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:21.179
People, I just don't think naturally we do, but um I know all my patients are like the nicest people.
00:23:21.339 --> 00:23:24.539
We like never have mean people come in, and I'm always so thankful for that.
00:23:24.700 --> 00:23:28.619
Um, but I think like with this, I it's just that open-mindedness.
00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:38.779
And I think people who want to do hard things, who are interested in it, they are naturally just more interested in and true authentic connection.
00:23:39.179 --> 00:23:41.659
And that's what we're we're fostering here.
00:23:41.819 --> 00:23:46.460
So if you feel like any of that is you and you're like, oh yeah, I'm I am an open-minded person.
00:23:46.539 --> 00:23:49.259
I do seek out more, I want more for myself, for my family.
00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:52.379
I want, I want to do something hard and challenging.
00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:54.379
Um, but I just don't want to do it alone.
00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:56.859
Like this, this is it for you.
00:23:57.819 --> 00:23:59.500
Yeah, I love that.
00:23:59.980 --> 00:24:01.339
All right, next question.
00:24:01.579 --> 00:24:03.419
Okay, well, we're getting we're getting towards the end.
00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:04.700
Okay, perfect.
00:24:04.940 --> 00:24:07.659
Yeah, so we're gonna I'm obviously with this.
00:24:07.899 --> 00:24:10.220
Um, some people were worried.
00:24:10.379 --> 00:24:14.379
We we had touched on this, but it's like, what happens if I can't do the whole thing?
00:24:14.539 --> 00:24:17.659
I think you're going to be able to that's the training for it.
00:24:17.899 --> 00:24:25.179
Um, I think if you have never tested your physical limits, I think it's a real fear to say, oh, I don't know, like what if I can't finish it?
00:24:25.339 --> 00:24:26.379
You're going to finish it.
00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:31.339
I trust that if you put the work in, you're gonna be able to complete it.
00:24:31.419 --> 00:24:34.700
And that's part of our job is to set you up for success in that sense.
00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:39.899
Um, so if you're like, I I haven't done a hard thing physically, but I'm really drawn to it.
00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:43.500
I watch the videos online, I read the books, I I want to do this.
00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:54.539
Um, I think you need to sign up for it then, or at least hop on a call and let's chat because I sometimes think people do not know what they're capable of until they try.
00:24:55.500 --> 00:25:03.659
I think sometimes you almost need to do it in order to prove to your mind that I can do it.
00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:04.299
Yeah.
00:25:04.460 --> 00:25:13.099
I mean, that's the most special part about doing the physically hard things is you are literally building confidence and proving to yourself that you are capable of so much more.
00:25:13.179 --> 00:25:21.579
And then once you like prove you can do something like this, it's like other things that you might have been scared about before, or like, I don't know if I can do it, should I try?
00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:25.099
Automatically like, oh, of course I can do it because I already did this hard thing over here.
00:25:25.339 --> 00:25:25.819
Mm-hmm.
00:25:26.379 --> 00:25:33.980
Um, yeah, so if you follow the training plan, there really should be no reason you can't finish it.
00:25:34.139 --> 00:25:46.940
Um, now let's say something happens, someone falls, breaks an ankle, there are park rangers out there, and we will have, like I said, the tools in order to contact someone in an emergency.
00:25:47.179 --> 00:25:50.619
So we will get you out of the cat the canyon.
00:25:51.259 --> 00:25:52.940
Like I'm not leaving you there.
00:25:53.259 --> 00:26:05.740
And then the very last thing to wrap everything up with is um people are are curious on like I feel like there's in conversations that's come up, so I'm phrasing this question based on like some of the conversation stuff.
00:26:06.059 --> 00:26:14.859
Is this really is this really going to be something to push me or is it just another sort of like easier thing to go up and do?
00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:16.779
Like, is it going to be that hard?
00:26:17.659 --> 00:26:22.379
I think hiking the length of the Grand Canyon will be hard.
00:26:22.779 --> 00:26:27.659
Well, I think I think people are asking, like, are you seem to be curious on like how is it going to change?
00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:30.460
Like, will it really make a difference in in life?
00:26:30.619 --> 00:26:36.700
And I and I think, you know, anytime you build confidence, your life changes.
00:26:37.099 --> 00:26:37.339
Yeah.
00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:52.220
And I would say for myself personally, anytime I've done a difficult challenge, especially uh the physical challenges, like when I ran my marathon, when we did 75 hard, um anything like that would train from a for a triathlon.
00:26:52.539 --> 00:26:57.899
Actually, completing those things was just one more proof of evidence.
00:26:58.059 --> 00:27:00.139
Yes, I can do the things that I say I'm gonna do.
00:27:00.220 --> 00:27:02.299
Yes, I can do the things that I put my mind to.
00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:08.940
So that if you follow through with it, there's no way it won't be beneficial for you because you would at least have that.
00:27:09.259 --> 00:27:15.339
There's no downside to committing to something and then keeping your promises to yourself and doing it.
00:27:16.460 --> 00:27:17.019
Yeah.
00:27:17.259 --> 00:27:18.460
That's what I would say.
00:27:18.700 --> 00:27:21.019
All right, well, we're probably gonna wrap the live up.
00:27:21.179 --> 00:27:23.500
So what do you want to leave people with?
00:27:23.579 --> 00:27:25.899
Like, what was the last thing people to know?
00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:31.019
I want people to know, want people to know that this really is a very unique experience.
00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:39.899
We cultivated it because it was something that we were very interested in, so we want to make it the best experience for every woman involved.
00:27:40.059 --> 00:27:49.819
And it's really, I think, gonna be something special that you'll you'll remember, you should remember for your whole life because it's not something that everyone does.
00:27:50.139 --> 00:28:00.859
And I really do think that when we push ourselves to the edge of discomfort and in discomfort, that's really when the growth happens physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
00:28:00.940 --> 00:28:05.579
And this is just one way that you can walk through that.
00:28:06.539 --> 00:28:13.179
And it's amazing they get to walk through it with um connections that I think you're gonna probably keep these connections for life.
00:28:13.980 --> 00:28:18.940
And it really is one a one of the most beautiful places in the world.
00:28:19.179 --> 00:28:20.379
Oh my god, yeah.
00:28:20.539 --> 00:28:20.859
Yeah.
00:28:21.019 --> 00:28:26.220
I've never not been like, I think I've been there like three times, and every time I go, oh my gosh, I'm amazed.
00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:26.859
Yeah.
00:28:27.099 --> 00:28:34.700
Everyone, you will walk away and you'll come home and you'll tell your friends and your family, and you'll say, you know, the pictures don't even do it justice.
00:28:35.019 --> 00:28:36.220
They really don't.
00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:37.339
Yeah.
00:28:37.659 --> 00:28:40.139
Um, it's a it's a bucket list opportunity.
00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:49.019
So, you know, not I know we really focus a lot on growth, but this is something that is on many people's bucket list to do as far as national parks and I can.
00:28:49.819 --> 00:28:50.379
Yeah.
00:28:50.700 --> 00:29:02.299
