00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.640
Welcome to the High Vibration Living Podcast.
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:13.439
I'm your host, Chef Whitney Aronoff, health supportive chef, founder of Starsea Kitchen, and creator of nourishing food rooted in real ingredients, intuition, and intention.
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:19.600
This podcast is a space where food, wellness, spirituality, and everyday living meet.
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:27.839
We explore how what you eat, how you live, and what you believe all shape your energy, health, and overall sense of well-being.
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.719
You have a physical body, a mental body, an emotional body, and a spiritual body.
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:38.000
And all need to be recognized and nourished so you can feel balanced and truly thrive.
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.880
Only you know what your body truly needs.
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:50.399
Let this be your reminder that you already have the wisdom to tune in to your food, your self-care, and your spiritual practices and choose what supports you best.
00:00:50.640 --> 00:01:07.280
Through personal insights and conversations with experts across food, wellness, and spirituality, we'll explore how to nourish the physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic layers of who you are so you can feel your best and live with clarity, vitality, and purpose.
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:08.879
Let's get started.
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.439
Hi, friends, welcome back to the High Vibration Living Podcast.
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.280
I am joined today by my friend Lauren Fieldswell.
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:26.719
She is the founder of Fieldswell, a wellness and personal growth brand rooted in psychology, identity expansion, and nervous system healing.
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:40.239
Lauren's path has taken her from hospitality and wellness into earning her master's in psychology, speaking on the TEDx stage, and hosting conversations with global thought leaders on the Fields Well podcast.
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:52.640
After overcoming a traumatic brain injury, she chose to rebuild her life not in spite of adversity, but because of it, transforming her healing journey into a mission to help others grow from the inside out.
00:01:52.959 --> 00:02:07.760
Through Fields Well Sanctuary, Fields Well Studios in Rancho Santa Fe, workshops, and psychology-driven coaching, Lauren supports entrepreneurs and leaders in creating sustainable success rooted in inner alignment.
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:18.879
Today, in this conversation, we're talking about identity, nervous system safety, visibility, and what it really takes to build a brand and a career without burning out.
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.039
I deeply admire Lauren.
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:28.960
When you meet her, when you connect with her, when you listen to her on this podcast episode, I know you will feel the same way.
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:37.759
She is a guiding light, and I love the work that she's doing, and she's really full of powerful wisdom and insights.
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:44.080
And she is a great source if you're looking for a coach, someone to help you with direction.
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.639
She's a great person to connect with.
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:58.080
We are very much in alignment over the idea that if you have a limiting belief, there is a way to go around it, go above it, go below it, break through it.
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:08.800
She's one of those people that if you know there's a direction that you want to go in life, but all you can see are all the blocks, all the ways that you're being forced to stop and you can't get there.
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.360
She's a great person to work with to go beyond.
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.680
So enjoy this episode.
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.280
I know I did.
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:15.919
Cheers.
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:16.639
Hi, Lauren.
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.879
Welcome to the High Vibration Living Podcast.
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.599
Whitney, it is such an honor to be here.
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:23.039
Thank you so much for having me.
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:24.400
We're getting to turn the tables.
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.840
I had you on Fields well a few months back, and uh, I'm so excited to be interviewed by you today.
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.039
And that's the joy of having you on here is you're a pro.
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.919
And you have a fantastic podcast.
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.719
You have an incredible studio, Dana Rancho Santa Fe, and you are also a coach.
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:47.199
And so you work with people in helping them get more comfortable and more clear on how they're showing up online.
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:56.479
So you're the perfect person to be connecting with at the beginning of this year as people are thinking about who they want to be in this world and how they want to be showing up.
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:03.520
Yes, it really is your opportunity to step into a new identity for yourself right in this moment as you're listening to this episode.
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:17.839
Yeah, and I think that's not just a theme of 2026 that a lot of astrologers and numerologists and just wise people are speaking about that what 2026 is gonna force us to be, is step into who we're really came here to be.
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:28.560
Um, but I just think that just individually we're all kind of feeling that bubble up a little bit more, that we want to be able to be our authentic selves in every place we show up in life.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.600
Um, but yes, we can all get a little bit uncomfortable at times.
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.800
We can feel our nervous system kind of tweaking, we can feel the fear bubble up.
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:45.040
And so you're somebody that has a lot of tools to help people navigate and move through that so they can become who they came here to be.
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:45.920
A hundred percent.
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.079
And I'm so excited to get into it, Whitney.
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:49.839
You know, a little background for me.
00:04:50.079 --> 00:05:02.000
I I got into this work through my own, you know, overcoming my own traumatic brain injury, horse accident, which which then had me dive into neuroscience and understand how the mind worked.
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:17.839
And so the tools that I have are backed in neuroscience and psychology and a decade of studying different coaching programs and just kind of how to regulate your nervous system, how to not only construct a vision for your future, but actually actualize it.
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:24.959
I want to know what is it like when someone reaches out to you and books a session with you for coaching?
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:32.399
Whether it's just the initial consultation or someone's like, you know, I'm ready to evolve, I'm booking multiple sessions with Lauren.
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.800
What does that first touch point look like?
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.680
What are the type of questions that you're asking your client?
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.519
So I'd say the biggest question is there's two questions.
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:50.480
It's number one, the question a lot of us are avoiding asking ourselves, what is which is what do I really want in my life?
00:05:50.800 --> 00:06:00.000
And I ask clients that and they will tear up and say, I've never given myself like permission to ask myself that because I'm always so focused on pouring into others.
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:07.920
And so I think for anyone who's listening, to really sit with yourself and say, What is it that I want for this chapter in my life?
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:09.439
Have I thought through that?
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:10.480
Have I sat with it?
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.560
Have I have I explored that?
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:19.839
Because oftentimes we're just running around on autopilot and we're not in alignment with the future that we desire for ourselves.
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.560
So the first question is, what do I want?
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:36.560
And once I have clients admit to me what it is they want, whether they want to start a branding business or that they want to, whatever it may be that they want to do, as soon as they admit it to me, it's really, it's like, then what are we waiting for?
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.639
Is the question you often get from clients when they once they get that clarity, is I don't know where to start.
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:50.879
You know, I I feel like I've been fortunate in that many of the clients who have come to me, they do have a vision of what they want to create.
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:59.920
And they come to me because I can help them create it through, you know, the infrastructure we now have here with the recording studios, with workshops, with speaking opportunities and things like that.
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.079
Um, but of course, there are individuals.
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:08.160
I host many workshops here now, and people will say, this is really hard for me because I don't know what I want in this chapter.
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:09.600
And so where do I begin there?
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.720
And I say, start asking the question, what do I want?
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:20.319
And sit with it and don't put so much pressure on yourself to have an answer right away, but just keep asking yourself and see what comes up.
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.079
Because for some people, this question is new.
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.680
As I said, they haven't given themselves permission to ask that.
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:32.319
And so just to start doing just to begin that inner journey to what lights me up.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:39.519
Yeah, and it that's a question that we need to ask ourselves and take inventory on more than just like every now and then.
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.240
It's a it's like a quarterly check-in.
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:42.720
Right.
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.959
That's that's personally what I have found is it changes.
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:54.720
Um, so I need to check in often and then God surrender if it wants to redirect.
00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:10.720
Oh yeah, you have to you we think we have control over how life is going to go, but I think realizing you don't have control and just acting on what lights you up in this moment and what you feel called to do in this moment, and realizing that you are going, there are going to be many different iterations and versions of you in this lifetime.
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:17.600
And I think what keeps a lot of people stuck or feeling down is that they've outgrown the identity that they're still living in.
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:24.959
And they feel uncomfortable stepping into a new identity because what will people think of me when I'm no longer this version of myself that everyone's comfortable with?
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:28.959
What are often the baby steps that we need to take to step into a new identity?
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:35.360
To like identify like the career change or the personal change that we need to make.
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:35.919
Yeah.
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:42.559
I mean, I think that the first step is going inward and checking in with yourself and saying, What do I want?
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.320
Like, why do I want it?
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:48.080
And what start to like sit with the vision of what that would look and feel like.
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.879
So you can start to envision yourself as that person.
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:51.840
How would they dress?
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:52.720
How would they walk?
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:54.240
How would they enter a room?
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:59.279
Like, what would they embody and start to like act like that person today?
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:00.879
That's a really good reminder.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.039
Putting our uniform on in the morning is really important and valuable.
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:05.440
Yes.
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:17.279
That's what helped me build my personal chef business as quickly as I did and really get over imposter syndrome was building the uniform and how I showed up at clients' homes.
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:31.360
And I think what I've noticed over the past 10 years is I I identified the uniform and who I needed to be showing up at the client, but I forgot who and how I needed to show up in my life.
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:41.279
And so all the energy went into the work as a chef, and I ignored the uniform of me in other areas.
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:43.360
Does that make sense?
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:44.159
Yes.
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:50.559
It needs to be who you're showing up as 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not just when you walk into the office.
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:51.200
Right.
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.000
And I mean it's like this embodying this main character energy.
00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:00.240
Let's just say, for example, like you are listening to this podcast, you're turning the page, you're starting to write this next chapter of your life.
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:01.120
What does that look like?
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.080
What does it sound like?
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:03.200
What is the script?
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.840
And are you embodying that main character energy?
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:20.000
And that character is consistently showing up as the chef, as the brand architect, as the realtor, whatever it may be that is next for you, how can you start to embody that in every area of your life now?
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:30.000
So one thing that we're hearing a lot of people talk about is in order to step into being who that main character is you would like to be, you need to work on your nervous system.
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:31.759
What does that even mean?
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:32.720
Oh my gosh.
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.799
So I think nervous system regulation is one of the ultimate luxuries.
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:44.000
To me, that means feeling at home inside of yourself and having a sense of inner calm and like feeling safe in your body.
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:45.759
So that is self-love.
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.039
It's taking care of yourself.
00:10:47.120 --> 00:11:10.080
For me, that looks like routines and consistency, prioritizing a good night's sleep, paying attention to what foods I nourish nourish myself with, getting that daily workout in, having some sort of spiritual practice, whether through yoga, meditation, whatever it may be, but that is to me how I regulate my nervous system, as opposed to just going on like code red nonstop, neglecting my own self-care.
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.399
So does that look like you building a morning and evening routine?
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:15.519
Oh, yeah, huge.
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.279
I'm big on morning and evening routines.
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:24.720
And this is where I really want to dive in and learn more from you because I really admire like the personal brand you've built and the business you've built.
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.720
And also you have a job where you're constantly helping other people.
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:34.639
So that's why I really want to learn how do you come back to yourself and make sure you're taking care of yourself first.
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.720
So break down your morning routine.
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.080
I'm sure it's different every day of the week, but what's working for you right now?
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:40.639
Sure.
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:43.360
So I believe the day starts the night before.
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.600
And so I want to start with the evening.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:52.159
And for me, that looks like putting my phone on Do Not Disturb and putting it in the kitchen to sleep at night.
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.480
Because once I'm in my room, that's my sacred space.
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.799
I think it was Jay Jay Shetty may have said this.
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:04.240
When you're opening your phone in your bed, you're essentially allowing all of those individuals into your room, into your private space when you're like scrolling before bed or what have you.
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:11.440
So I put my phone asleep in the kitchen, go in my room, dim the lights, light one of my favorite candles, you know, warm shower skincare routine.
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:18.960
Then we're maybe doing some red light before bed, listening to some healing frequencies, or listening to some.
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:24.399
I really love Neville Goddard for mindset work, listening to him and just kind of relaxing.
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:33.759
Then I do a gratitude journal before bed, at least three things I was grateful for that day, just kind of running through my day and and noticing things that happened that were miraculous.
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.840
Then sleep is a huge priority.
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.320
I have my aura ring here, which tracks my sleep.
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:42.240
So I know I know that sleep makes one of the biggest differences.
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.639
And if you're looking to regulate your nervous system, the biggest advice I would say is prioritize your sleep.
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.960
I sleep with a sound machine, which is really helpful.
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.919
And then I like the room like 68 degrees cooler.
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:53.759
You're supposed to sleep a bit better.
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:57.440
Um, waking up the morning routine, again, the phone isn't there.
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:03.600
So there was a point where I was looking over, reaching over, immediately getting all those dopamine hits, looking at the apps.
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.440
Like that's how I was starting my day.
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.600
And when you don't have the phone there, you have the opportunity to begin your day with intention.
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:10.879
Wake up with gratitude.
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:12.000
Thank you for this day.
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.039
Like this was not guaranteed another day.
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:16.480
Wow, I get to live it.
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.000
What do I want this day to look like?
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:19.200
Who do I want to be today?
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:20.240
How do I want to feel today?
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:21.759
And beginning with intention.
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.320
Um, you know, go and do some mirror work.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.279
I love you, Lauren.
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:26.879
Thank you for showing up today.
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:33.440
Then I go and I do my AG1 for my vitamins and nutrients, uh, the beverage.
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:38.960
And then I'll do a matcha and get some electrolytes and go take my dog Ziggy out and get some sunlight.
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.159
I'm big on getting the sunlight first thing in the morning as well.
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:48.159
Um, a long walk around the block and just making sure my eyes get that sun while it's currently rising.
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:57.919
I feel like it's one of the best medicines that you can do for your body and for your hormones and parts of you that you don't even understand need that check-in first thing.
00:13:58.159 --> 00:13:58.639
Oh, yeah.
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:04.720
I mean, if we got morning sunlight and then even if we were outside for sunset, like the world would be a completely different place.
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:05.759
I think so too.
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.600
So I try to get at least one of them, but the life goal is to be able to get both of them.
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.879
Yes, life goals.
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:11.600
Yeah, with you.
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.600
A quick pause to share something I truly use and love.
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:17.039
I'm Chef Whitney Arena.
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:27.279
And as a personal chef, I began sharing my Starseed Kitchen organic spice blends with private clients when I couldn't find high-quality seasonings that met my standards for their meal prep.
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:33.440
My clients are people who care deeply about what goes into their food and how it makes them feel, just like you.
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:42.799
Every Starseed Kitchen blend is made with the highest quality organic spices with no added sugar, no MSG, no anti-caking agents, and no fillers.
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:47.279
Just clean, real ingredients that support your body and elevate your cooking.
00:14:47.440 --> 00:15:02.639
Two of my most loved blends are 11 Magic Herbs and Spices, a go-to everyday seasoning that works on just about everything, and Starseed Kitchen Adobo, a light, bright, anti-inflammatory blend designed for modern, health supportive cookie.
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:09.679
Every jar is prepared with intention, charged with kundalini mantras, quartzgiza crystals, and blessed by a shaman.
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:16.000
Because spices and the food you prepare with them are not just nourishment, they're a transfer of energy.
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:21.919
You can find Starseed Kitchen Spices at all Erawan locations or online at starseedkitchen.com.
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:25.759
Use code Starseed for 10% off your online order.
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.919
Now let's get back to the conversation.
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:34.159
How do you build out your day so you're not doing too much and you're not burning out?
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:51.360
I think that's another thing that people are thinking about when it comes to their nervous system and evolving their career, their brand, their business, is knowing it's gonna take a lot of hours and there is potential that they're gonna burn out or have to make a lot of personal sacrifices.
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.559
How do you approach conversations like that with your clients as well?
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.000
So I believe a lot in like I don't love the word balance.
00:15:58.080 --> 00:15:59.120
I like the word harmony.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:05.279
I think at certain points of your life you're going to be devoting a lot more time to your business or to your family, just depending on what season you're in.
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:12.240
So for me, I've known these past year or two years have been like full speed focus on the business to really get it off the ground.
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.720
And that has looked like cutting other areas.
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.799
Like I haven't, I'm not out late nights with friends, you know.
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:27.120
I'm taking some weekends to myself just to focus on work and stay, stay regulated because it is very demanding.
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.360
It is stressful to build a new business and go all in on something that doesn't exist yet.
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:36.799
But you really just have to ask yourself, like, you just have to keep checking in with you and saying, how does this feel?
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:38.159
Like, are you feeling so stressed?
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.360
Are you feeling burnt out?
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:40.559
Monitor that.
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:49.600
And one thing, what need I want to say, is oftentimes when we're starting to feel stressed or burnt out, we think, okay, let me add more, let me like add on some more things here.
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:55.440
Like maybe I need like more, like, you know, some acupuncture, some like meditation, some yoga, some this.
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.240
It's like, wait, maybe we need to do less.
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.240
Like, what can we look at on your calendar and like take some things out?
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.079
What's actually mandatory for you?
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:05.839
Like, do you need to be on that call?
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:07.599
Do you need to go to that 6 a.m.
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.000
workout, or do you actually need another hour of sleep?
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:14.640
Like, we are the master of our human being, of our reality.
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:21.759
And I think it's really important to start to take accountability for that instead of like just going code red and burning out and then being like, what happened?
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:23.519
It's like you're driving the ship.
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.079
Yes.
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.079
And you nailed it perfectly.
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.960
I'm actually working out less than I used to.
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:34.000
I'm not getting up and going to the early morning workouts like I did for over 20 years.
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.240
I'm not booking as many lunches.
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.119
I'm doing less of that.
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.200
And I am so much happier.
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:42.319
I feel better.
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:43.680
I look better.
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:50.799
Um, I just reached a point where my body said, we can't get up anymore to run out the door to get to that class.
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.920
It's actually, am I happier because I did that?
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:54.480
No.
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:58.240
I'm actually like angrier and more frustrated that I did.
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:00.799
It really works.
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:06.880
And it's so easy to compare yourself to someone else's highlight reel, being like, wow, they have their, they have everything together.
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.119
They're hitting all the workouts or eating all the meals.
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:13.359
Like, just put your blinders on and focus on your life and what you need.
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:15.759
No one else is you, and that is your power.
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.359
So figure out how to master your system, you're a human, and then go from there.
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:28.880
What are some mistakes that you're seeing founders, entrepreneurs, brand managers make when when they start to step out and build their brand or build their new business?
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:34.240
Being too, I would say like being too cautious or waiting too long to put themselves out there.
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:40.079
I I don't really think it's like as long as you're taking action and you're in their arena, I don't think it's a mistake.
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.880
I think that's all just gonna give you information.
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:46.640
And the way that you improve is by actually doing the thing.
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:51.920
And so you'll get more information, you'll get more data the more you start showing up online and talking about your brand or business.
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.279
I think we're in a really big era of founder-led brand brands right now.
00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:04.720
Like people want to see the face of the brand showing up and talking about who they are, why they've created it, what why they're doing what they're doing, because that's really what magnetizes and draws you in.
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:07.279
That's a really good point and a good reminder.
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:17.440
And I feel like that's what we need and why having a coach is so important because it helps you see where you're blocked and it helps you get out of your own way.
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:23.279
Um, I think there's nothing more valuable than having coaching from time to time.
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:29.279
Um, do you have a coach or have you had coaches in the past that have helped you kind of get to where you are?
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.880
I've had many coaches, and I'm a big believer in having a coach.
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.480
There's this saying that you can't read the label when you're inside the box.
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:45.039
And so I think having a coach is one of the best investments you can make because they can really help you shortcut shortcut the process and the path to success.
00:19:45.279 --> 00:20:00.559
And big on mentorship, like I have many mentors, and mentors don't always have even have to be, you know, they could have been people who live who aren't even alive anymore, but reading their books, listening to their recordings, like find someone who has already done what you're looking to do and follow the steps.
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:15.440
I've actually heard many people just in interviews talk about that they saw someone when they were in college, they admired their career, and they kind of reverse engineered what that person did to get there, and it worked for them.
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:17.039
It's really fascinating.
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.440
Um Right.
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:28.000
Are there particular books or recordings or podcasts that you are listening to or that you recommend to your clients?
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:32.240
So I would say The Untethered Soul is one of my all-time favorite books by Michael A.
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:32.720
Singer.
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:41.759
When I was going through a really difficult time, that book uh that book really changed the game for me, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone.
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:46.720
Um, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey is a really old, great one.
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.279
Uh Think and Grow Rich is another one.
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.079
Outwitting the Devil, both Napoleon Hill books.
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:58.480
But they're really the the last two that I mentioned are so big on mindset, and I believe everything exists twice.
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.440
First, it exists as an idea or a vision in your mind, and then it exists in reality.
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:11.359
So if you understand that everything starts here, it's so important to really pay attention to how you're thinking about yourself and what's possible and to develop a growth mindset.
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:13.039
What's a growth mindset?
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:27.359
A growth mindset is a mindset where you believe that you're capable of achieving, of achieving whatever you set out to do, as opposed to believing there's a fixed mindset where there's a ceiling on what you're capable of and what's possible in your life.
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:37.519
And when someone can't see beyond a certain level, how can they get advice or visuals or ideas from someone so they can expand past that?
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:38.559
Do you know what I'm saying?
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:46.079
You know, when people, when you feel stuck and you're like, I all I can see is this, but I kind of know that there's more out there.
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:50.559
How do I expand my brain to see other opportunities?
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:53.519
I go into the psychology and the neuroscience behind thought.
00:21:53.680 --> 00:22:05.279
So if we have 60 to 70,000 thoughts today in the science, sorry, 60 to 70,000 thoughts a day and the Science says that up to 90% of those thoughts are repetitive and up to 80% are negative.
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:10.480
It's important to look at your own thinking and understand how the brain works and that it's designed to keep you safe.
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:16.720
And so when you're having fear or thinking you're not capable, that's just your amygdala trying to keep you safe.
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:24.640
So we are we have outdated programming that was designed to keep us safe in the wild and not be eaten by a lion.
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:31.839
But we're treating perceived social threats the same way when we really don't need to be as fearful of taking action towards our goals.
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:40.079
And I so I really believe the way you become less fearful and start to have more of a growth mindset is just to understand how the mind works.
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.039
Because once you have the science, you can say, oh wait, you're right.
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:44.880
Like I can challenge this thought.
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:46.160
It isn't actually true.
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:53.279
Maybe I believe that from my childhood when someone was mean to me or told me I couldn't, maybe it's time for me to update that programming.
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:58.240
I like to say, like, how often do you update your iPhone or your laptop at least every two, three weeks, every month?
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.079
How often are you updating your own programming?
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.519
So how do you switch negative thoughts to positive thoughts?
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:13.359
Like if you find that you're ruminating in your head on a drive or on your walk, what are little things that you do to just tell yourself, nope, we're keeping it positive?
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:14.880
Nope, that's an old story.
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:15.680
Oh yeah.
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:16.799
This is so important.
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:18.559
And I think it's just a thought swap.
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:23.279
So cognitive restructuring, essentially, you're saying, say the thought is this will never work.
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.200
I'm not gonna try this, this will never work.
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.680
What if we were to think, what if we thought this instead?
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:30.400
What if it turns out better than I ever could have imagined?
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:31.680
Because this will never work.
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:34.000
How can you prove that to be true until you try?
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:37.759
So any thought, it's just a mindset shift away from another thought.
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:50.799
And so one exercise that I do with myself and with clients, if I'm having this thought that's really like a thought that's not in alignment with where I want to go or who I want to become, I ask myself, what is the actual reality that I want to happen instead?
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:52.480
I close the deal.
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.400
Um, the book is a bestseller, whatever it may be, then start writing that down.
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:57.440
That's a great idea.
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:57.839
Yeah.
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:09.359
Instead of letting that negative thought ruminate in your mind, start writing down the thought that's exactly what you actually want and start focusing on that and envisioning it and repeating it and living in it and bringing it into your orbit.
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:20.000
So, what are different wellness practices or tools you have in your tool belt right now that you're doing to keep yourself physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually feeling good?
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.400
What are little things that you trickle into your week?
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:28.079
So I just said this fields well 30 to start the new year off strong, and I'll run you through those principles.
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:34.240
So it was 30 days of no alcohol, 30 days of a work, a 30-minute workout every day.
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:38.160
So that could have been walking, Pilates, yoga, whatever it may be.
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:40.880
It was 10 minutes of morning mindset.
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:49.200
It was um nutrient-dense whole foods, 80-20 rule, because I do love, love food, love to have a little fun there.
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:52.240
And then it was evening gratitude.
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.440
So that for me was such an incredible start to the year.
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.200
And just to prove to yourself you can do that for 30 days, it wasn't very challenging.
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:05.279
Like I was looking at 75 hard and I was like, I don't need to work out for 50 minutes twice a day and like go this hard.
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:07.839
But I want something that is structured.
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.440
And so it's really, it doesn't have to be that challenging.
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.759
It's it's the mindset work, it's the movement, you know.
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.839
The sleep is then great because you're not drinking alcohol and you're moving every day.
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.640
Um, the gratitude is so huge.
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:24.240
And I'm big on prayer.
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:29.839
Like when I sit down at the table to eat, I I give thanks for the meal for my day.
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:37.359
And I think once you start appreciating all that you have around you, you start to notice so much more to be grateful and give thanks for.
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:43.839
When it comes to that gratitude journal at night, is there a particular journal that you recommend people order or buy?
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:48.160
Or can they just take a piece of paper and write down three things that they're grateful for for the day?
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:50.240
So mine is just a Fieldswell journal.
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:51.440
It's just blank pages.
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:56.880
So you really don't need some special gratitude journal, but if you prefer a guided one, I'm sure there are plenty out there.
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:02.400
I don't have a specific one to recommend, but you could literally just have a notepad or a piece of paper and write down.
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:10.240
Um, another one for me is I'm big on affirmations, the I am statements, because I believe whatever you say after I am causes an activation in you.
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:18.400
So saying things to yourself in the morning like I am love, I am light, I'm abundant, I am worthy, I attract everything I desire.
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:28.400
I'm a magnet for aligned opportunities, programmed for the identity that you are stepping into for the person that you're becoming, because you're really programming yourself.
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:33.279
So paying so much attention to what you're thinking about yourself and how you speak to and of yourself.
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:33.839
Dr.
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.839
Lovery has a song on Spotify.
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:46.160
You can find it and it's long and it's all these positive affirmations with the right frequency music behind it.
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:53.920
And so if you're going for a massage or if you're going into the sauna, you can play that and it essentially does the work for you.
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:59.759
You can physically relax, you know, and doze off, but now that's playing in the background.
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:06.400
And I have found when I use those tools, it changes my life and moves it in a super positive direction.
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:08.559
I went when I lived in Washington, D.C.
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:20.640
before I went to culinary school, for a year I played certain frequency music at night while I slept on the absolute lowest volume, and my life moved at lightning speed in such a positive way.
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:23.279
And it's really something that I need to do again.
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:24.319
It's so incredible.
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.960
I love that story that you shared on Fieldswell as well.
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:29.519
It really helped you gain clarity and align with your desired reason.
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:37.279
Yeah, there's these low effort tools that we can sneak into our life that can just get us on the track faster.
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:37.759
Right.
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:43.279
Like in your windown routine, put on some healing frequencies or when you're getting ready in the morning or when you're driving to work.
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:48.319
The only thing that has stopped me from doing that is I don't bring my phone into the bedroom.
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.640
So I I have a similar I have I have Alexa.
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:53.200
Got it.
00:27:53.359 --> 00:28:00.960
I need to figure out how to load up some music and just leave it on a little speaker so it's in there.
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:02.720
So I just press play.
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.160
Um, I have a mantra box in in in different parts of the house.
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.240
I just need to build another mantra box.
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.799
Um so you just walk up, press play, the music's already loaded on there.
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.839
Um, and then you're not bringing any other tech into the room.
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:20.240
Is there any goal setting or planning that you like to do for your year ahead?
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:30.960
So I do love to make a vision board at the end of every year, and that has images of what I intend to bring into my life and accomplish in the year ahead.
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:43.920
Because when you program your mind with the image of what you're looking to call in, it starts to notice the people, places, and things around you that can help make it a reality because it works literally on overtime trying to help you achieve your goals.
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:46.160
If it doesn't know where you're going, you're walking blind.
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:56.319
So the more you can program your mind and hold the vision of where you'd like to go and what you want to create, the more success, the more opportunities, the more individuals you'll notice around you who can help you make that a reality.
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:57.759
So I'm big on the vision board.
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:00.000
And then yeah, I write down my top 10 goals.
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.720
And what I have heard is really helpful is circling the top three and focusing on those three.
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.400
Because sometimes when you're focused on so many different things, it can feel overwhelming.
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.279
Start with the first three, focus on the first three goals.
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.480
Like, what are the top three things you want to happen in this season?
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:22.079
And then another thing that um was helpful is closing your eyes and envisioning you're at the end of 2026.
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:23.599
Where are you?
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:26.000
What are you wearing?
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:27.759
How do you feel in your body?
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:29.200
Who are you with?
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:32.960
And who are you calling with great news?
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:34.400
And what is that news?
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:36.000
It's so interesting.
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:43.279
Just thinking about that makes me realize I'm not putting energy into what's gonna get me there.
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:48.720
I'm spending my day keeping me in the life that I have, not in the life that I want to have.
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:49.920
Do you hear that a lot?
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:52.559
You have to hold yeah, yeah.
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:54.960
And I think it can be, it can be intimidating.
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:59.759
And some people can see it so clearly, like, I know exactly where I want to be, who I want to be with, what that news is.
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.759
Some people are like, I don't even know.
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:09.839
And some people, it's like, okay, doing more and achieving more isn't always the definition of success.
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:16.400
Like some people in this season of life, maybe they want to slow down, maybe they want to be more present, maybe they want more self-love.
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:25.920
While maybe someone else wants to build this mega business and sell it, you know, like each you're you have to decide what what would make this year a success for you.
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:29.519
Not for Sarah, not for Susan, not for Joel, but for you.
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:30.960
What do you really want?
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.200
What do you need from this chapter?
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:33.759
All right.
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:47.119
I'm gonna have to go sit quietly and um and think about that a lot and kind of spend some days turning off social media so I don't envision what other people are creating, what other people want for themselves.
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:49.200
I feel like that's important too.
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:55.440
If you're looking at images of how everybody else is living, then you can get swept up in someone else's vision.
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:56.079
Totally.
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.519
And I think for me, you know, we're talking about this earlier, mentors and coaches.
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:15.920
Like there are a few women, like powerhouse women, that I really look up to who have built mega brands, given like Emily Ford or Lauren Bostick, like they are total inspirations for me and they show me that they're they're an example of what's possible when you go all in on your dream or vision.
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:18.079
Do I want to be either of them?
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.440
No, I want to take my own path and find my unique expression.
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:26.240
But am I very inspired and impressed by what they've built a thousand percent?
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.720
And so to look at what they've done and how they've created it is really, really helpful.
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:38.000
So for anyone listening, when you have an idea of what it is you want to do, find someone who is who has done it and see how they did it.
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:40.000
It's it's great advice, you know.
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:47.759
I always say it it's easier for me to do this with business than with people, is like find three examples.
00:31:47.920 --> 00:32:02.720
So if you're creating a podcast, if you're creating a spice brand, if you're creating a CPG product, find three brands that you admire and then, you know, figure out different parts of their business that they built in order to get where they're at.
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:12.000
I think it's a different idea and concept to look at the people who have built personal brands or lives that you admire and then pull from that.
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.759
That's a really that's a new thing that I I really need to do.
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:23.920
Another thing, Whitney, that I think is gonna be helpful for our listeners is really to sit with the fact that like we don't know how much longer we have left to live.
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:26.000
We're we're treating life like we have forever.
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:28.799
Like maybe one day I would love to do this.
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:30.880
Maybe someday I hope this happens.
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:32.240
It's like, no, no, no, no.
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.359
How can you start working towards that today?
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:40.480
Because at the end of this road, I want you to look back on your life and say, I'm so glad I tried.
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:42.079
I'm so glad I got that information.
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:43.680
I'm so glad I pursued that.
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:51.839
I was in the arena, not the one who is too afraid, standing on the sidelines and never even found out what I was capable of.
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:52.720
Absolutely.
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:53.599
Absolutely.
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:55.839
I know I'm 44 years old.
00:32:56.079 --> 00:33:00.880
I already can look back and think, gosh, why was I so quiet?
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:02.079
Why did I play small?
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:05.839
Why did I allow other people to step forward when I could have?
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:13.440
You know, you I already look back on my 20s and 30s and wish I would have pushed through fears in different areas.
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:18.480
And so definitely when I think about that, I don't want to do that another day moving forward.
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:21.200
Yeah, I think expressing yourself is so healing.
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:26.720
When we first opened Fieldswell Well Wellness Sanctuary, it was about inner transformation.
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:31.440
And this Fields Well Studios now is express yourself beyond that.
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:39.839
So come do that inner work, get clear on your goals, your vision, like come home to yourself, decide what you want to build or create, and then start to create it.
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:53.279
And that's where I see the real transformation happen, is when individuals start expressing themselves and start showing up online and start talking about their story and the and the future that they're building.
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:58.240
I want to take a moment to share how Team Starseed Kitchen can support you beyond the podcast.
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:04.240

00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:10.159
Now let's return to the episode.
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:19.679
So one of the things that I enjoy about following you and connecting with you is you sharing your life and how you're living in San Diego.
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:31.679
And I personally, whenever I tune into podcasts or follow people on social media, I love learning about the places that they're going and the businesses that they're connecting with in order to, you know, enjoy life.
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:42.800
So I'd love to know from you are there particular restaurants or hotels or wellness spots in San Diego that you love visiting that always lift your spirits?
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:43.679
There are.
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:47.039
So we're right here on the main street of town in Rancho Santa Fe.
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:53.119
Across the street, we have my dear friend Kyle Frakes, who you know, who just opened Moonlight Longevity.
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:59.760
So there's a longevity clinic across the street from Fieldswell here, IVs, peptides, Botox, filler, Morpheus, all the things.
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:00.800
So he's wonderful.
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:07.360
Then a block away from that, we have the Inn in Rancho Santa Fe, which is a historic hotel, which is kind of like our second home and meeting spot.
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:11.679
So I highly recommend if you're in Rancho Santa Fe, visiting the inn at Rancho Santa Fe.
00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:14.719
Maybe you go to Lillian's for dinner or visit their spa.
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:20.079
Another amazing destination resort is Rancho Valencia, which is five minutes from where we are here.
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:23.679
You feel like you're in Bali when they're in their yoga pavilion or spa.
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:27.519
Incredible fitness classes, great restaurant called the Pony Room.
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:31.599
Another dinner spot I love is called the Market Restaurant.
00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:32.400
Very good.
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:35.119
Sit at their bar, eat off their sushi menu.
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:37.360
And then I'm big in fitness.
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:42.000
So but I like to go to different studios all the time just to get different workouts in.
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:43.199
I love Rebel Boot Camp.
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:44.559
It's kind of like a berries.
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:49.760
Um, my friend Sabrina owns a private Pilates studio called Body by You.
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:52.079
And so those are my two favorites right now.
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:56.000
You have to hike Tory Pines, it's a beautiful outdoor hike.
00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:02.800
Yeah, you guys have a lot of great things coming out in San Diego, especially in the area that you're in.
00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:08.239
Great restaurants, great fitness locations, great wellness spas.
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:11.599
It's a really good time to be in that part of San Diego.
00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:13.199
I love San Diego.
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.599
You know, for a while, I'm I was born and raised right here.
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.440
It felt like going backwards, but there's something to building where you're from.
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:23.280
And let me tell you, San Diego is on the rise.
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:31.039
There are so many powerful, especially powerful female entrepreneurs, like right in this bubble right here that I'm so inspired by.
00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:32.559
And so I'm really grateful to be here.
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:33.519
I would agree.
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:39.440
And I'm constantly trying to find reasons and ways to go down to San Diego because I see the same thing.
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:42.159
Um, there's a real great energy bubbling up.
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:44.480
Well, we're about to plan a dinner together soon.
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:45.599
We have to.
00:37:45.840 --> 00:38:01.760
And um, we'll be inviting all the listeners to join us because I just I love I love cooking food for like-minded people um and people that you know want to feel good in their body but enjoy a nourishing meal and have some like deep conversation.
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:03.280
Oh, yeah, I'm so excited.
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:08.320
You came and uh at our Fields Well and Friends event event and made the most incredible spread.
00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:09.119
Thank you.
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:10.719
People people are still talking about it.
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:11.199
Thank you.
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:17.119
We like to incorporate crystals everywhere we can because that just adds to it as well.
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:24.880
Um, but I I love people, I love that people are wanting to connect more with food and making it beautiful too.
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:30.079
I know I keep having this vision of doing this like incredible fish curry.
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:31.679
Um I don't know why.
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:43.679
I keep thinking when I do our dinner, I want to do some sort of beautiful bowl um with vegetables and broth and protein because I'm finding that deeply nourishing right now.
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:55.119
Um, it's the perfect support for um just that digestive fire, keeping you grounded, but also making sure that when you wake up in the morning, you still feel light and fresh and ready to go.
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:58.320
Are there particular foods I love a good Yeah, I do too.
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:06.079
Are there particular foods that are really um working for you right now in this, you know, late winter, not quite spring yet?
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:10.159
Yeah, so I mean I can't say that I'm big on seasonal eating.
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:28.239
I'm pretty like, I don't know if regimented is the right word, but actually what it's hitting right now, I'm loving um, I want to say Elizabeth, is it maybe Elizabethan oatmeal in the morning, and I make it with fresh almond butter, oatmeal, uh, sorry, fresh almond butter, blueberries, and bananas with honey on top.
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:29.679
And that has really been hitting the spot.
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:34.159
So I'll do that, or I'll do fresh sourdough bread, toasted avocado on it with an egg.
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:37.039
That's the it's between one of those two for breakfast.
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:41.679
Um, then I love a salad for lunch, and then I am a I eat a lot of steak.
00:39:41.760 --> 00:39:45.039
So for dinner it's normally like steak, uh sweet potato, broccoli.
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:46.239
We eat very similar.
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:51.280
I do um warm potatoes and eggs in a little skillet for breakfast.
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:56.480
Um, or I do a sweet potato with avocado, arugula, and an egg.
00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:59.039
Like that's what's working for me for breakfast.
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:02.480
I love I just love a salad for lunch and protein.
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:06.639
And then dinner is usually something with beef and vegetables.
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:08.239
Whether it's ground beef.
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:08.880
I love it.
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:09.599
We're very similar.
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:11.760
That's what's really working for me right now.
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:14.800
And I've never I I mean, I feel amazing.
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:19.039
Like, and then my treat every now and then is a date or chocolate.
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:20.239
Okay, delicious.
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:26.000
My my friend owns this cookie business called Cocoa Cakes, and they're vegan protein cookies.
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:27.920
I'm actually addicted to them.
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:32.320
I order a ton and keep them in my freezer, and I'll just break off pieces for dessert at the end of the day.
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:36.800
They are to die for, and they're cookies where I eat them when I actually feel good afterward.
00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:39.360
Like if I have a regular cookie, I don't feel well.
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:45.360
These, because I've really clean ingredients, are so, so, so delicious, and I highly recommend.
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:46.960
That's a perfect reminder.
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:53.199
If you love something and it's not working for you anymore, it's not making you feel good, you just need to find the alternative.
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:54.800
You need to play with the ingredients.
00:40:55.039 --> 00:41:00.880
Doesn't mean you need to give up what you love, but you can't keep fueling yourself with something that's not working with your system.
00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:11.519
It's like continuing with habits and practices and going to a gym or a yoga class that you actually hate, um, but yet you keep going, you you got to upgrade.
00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:14.079
It's like an opportunity for an upgrade.
00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:16.719
And you know, like tune in, listen to your body.
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:23.920
How can you create an environment around yourself or where you spend your time that mirrors like who you want to become?
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:24.159
Yeah.
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:29.039
So if you want to get in shape, how can you fill, like, for example, I go to the farmer's market every Sunday.
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:31.199
So there's fresh food throughout my kitchen.
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:35.119
When I'm looking for a snack, I can go grab something healthy that's not just junk food in the shelves.
00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:38.960
Like, how can you create the environment that supports who you're looking to become?
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:40.960
That's it's such a great reminder.
00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:45.280
And it's time for me to upgrade my vision board.
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:48.320
I put a vision board on the wall.
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:51.199
Um, so when I wake up out of bed, it's right there.
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:53.599
So I could see it every morning and every night.
00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:59.039
But we need to upgrade what's going on there so it reflects really who I want to step into being this year.
00:41:59.440 --> 00:41:59.840
Amazing.
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:01.679
Send me a photo when you do that upgrade.
00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:03.360
I'm here to hold you accountable.
00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:04.320
I I will.
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:07.840
And there's nothing more valuable than an accountability coach.
00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:08.719
Huge.
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:10.880
Here's something I love to do with my clients.
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:12.960
I'll have them script the month ahead.
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:16.719
So say it's say it's February 1st.
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:19.519
I know we're a little bit beyond that, but just say it's the first of the month.
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:27.280
Script how your month is going to go and say it like, for example, February was one of the most successful months of my life.
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:28.880
I closed five new clients.
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:31.840
I made, you know, many great friends.
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:33.599
The more specific you can be, the better.
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:37.119
Um, I closed this deal, I got lost three pounds.
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:39.199
Like I felt at home within myself.
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:41.440
Like, I'm so grateful for the journey I'm on.
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:47.599
Write out how you want your month to go, as if it has already happened, and read it to yourself every day.
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:50.719
And I'll have my clients send me the script for their month ahead.
00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:53.199
And at the end of the month, we'll go over it together.
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:59.360
So if somebody works with a life coach, how many days a week should they expect to be connecting with that coach?
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:02.719
So, I mean, for me, it's normally I'm meeting with my clients once a week.
00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:06.480
I normally give them kind of things to work on in between that.
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:11.760
I'm accessible to them beyond that, but it's normally like we meet when we're together in person.
00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:21.519
And then how many months do you suggest somebody consider working with a coach in order to see the changes that they're wanting to make in their life?
00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:26.400
I would say starting with a three-month period is a great foundation.
00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:28.639
Three to six months.
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:33.039
And my my vision for you is not to need a coach forever.
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:37.920
It's really just to help you build the foundation for this next chapter identity that you're stepping into.
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:41.280
And then you can just do occasional sessions as needed.
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:47.519
Um, but it's cool what we've created here because you can do the personal coaching and then we can help you build your personal brand.
00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:51.119
So you're coming in here to film elevated content for yourself and your socials.
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:52.079
Very cool.
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:53.360
That's really neat.
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:59.519
And that's exactly what you need sometimes is someone to tell you these are all the things that I see you.
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:06.639
As a leader, in let me ask you questions and guide you so we can get that out of you.
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:12.719
Because I feel like oftentimes it's hard for us to share what we're experts at because we just assume everybody else knows it.
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:13.199
Right.
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:22.480
And it's interesting, you know, I've had founders who are making six, seven figures, successful businesses, but then we'll put them on camera and they'll freeze and they can't tell me what they do.
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:24.320
And so there's a lot of work to be done there.
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:30.000
And I think, you know, being on camera and being visible, it's a skill that can be trained.
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:37.840
And so it's so helpful to have someone in here asking you the right questions, kind of interviewing you who has done it, who's comfortable, and can just help guide you.
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:38.960
I needed that.
00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:39.519
Yeah.
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:44.079
It's great practice and it's great skill and it's the life that we are now living in.
00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:45.920
So you can't run away from it.
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:51.920
I mean, how is anyone gonna buy from you if they don't know you exist or what you do?
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:52.559
Exactly.
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:52.880
Yeah.
00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:54.159
I wait, I waited.
00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:56.559
I was like, oh, I have a beautifully curated Instagram feed.
00:44:56.719 --> 00:44:58.719
People will just reach out to me to try and work with me.
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:00.320
That's just not how it works.
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:03.679
What did you do that you felt like moved the needle the most?
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:06.239
Uh boldly just showing up online and sending it.
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:07.360
I like to say send it.
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:15.360
Like you posting reels, talking about your story, getting clear on what your story is and having it be in alignment with where you're going and who you're trying to become.
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:17.599
Some of us need to go back and rewrite our story.
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:19.360
Because maybe our story is keeping us stuck.
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:26.639
Maybe we've never thought about how we could write our story in a way that it makes sense to where we're trying to go or who we want to help.
00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:31.039
So I think looking at this jewel, you're telling yourself about what happened.
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:33.679
Oftentimes it's not what happened that's keeping you stuck.
00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:35.840
It's this jewelry you're telling yourself about it.
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:39.119
I heard someone say nothing bad has ever happened to me.
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:43.039
I think of everything that's ever happened in a way of what was the learning?
00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:44.400
How can this help me grow?
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:46.480
And just giving thanks for every experience.
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:56.480
And I think that's so powerful because sometimes we're so quick to label something good or bad where, okay, we thought this thing was bad, but two years later, we're like, I'm so glad that happened.
00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:57.920
Absolutely.
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:03.360
It's hard, but it's that little opportunity to look at it a new way is always there.
00:46:03.679 --> 00:46:04.800
It's always there.
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:10.719
Well, where can people connect with you and learn from you and get in touch if they want to work with you?
00:46:11.039 --> 00:46:11.280
Sure.
00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:16.159
So I'm most active on my personal Instagram, which is my name, Lauren Fields.
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:18.159
There's also the Fieldswell Instagram.
00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:20.639

00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:35.920
We host a lot of fun, different events and workshops that we'd love to welcome you to.
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:36.800
You really do.
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:37.920
It's really impressive.
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:45.679
And can you leave the listener with one last health, wellness, or mental tip that they can consider adding into their life?
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:53.039
Sure, I would say you're with the person that you're gonna spend the rest of your life with, and that's you.
00:46:53.280 --> 00:47:04.400
So make it a priority to begin that journey into yourself to come home to you, to regulate your nervous system, because everything on the outside is a mirror of your internal state.
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:14.480
So instead of trying to fix everything outside of you and change all these things, fill yourself up with so much love and joy and passion, and the whole world around you will shift.
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:16.400
That's fantastic advice.
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:19.440
And I am looking forward to re-listening to this episode.
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:24.960
I learned so much from you today and so much visualization work that I need to bring into my life.
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:25.760
So thank you.
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:28.320
This is it's still the beginning of the year.
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:31.280
It's the perfect time to visualize.
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:36.159
Um, but this has been a great reminder to me that every time's a great time to visualize.
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:45.199
Every time, every day, there's an opportunity to pause and think about like, are you really putting effort into creating the life that you want to be living?
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:47.599
Are you just moving through, you know, the motions?
00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:49.360
The accountability piece, Whitney.
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:50.559
Thank you so much for having me.
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:51.440
You're so wonderful.
00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:54.559
I can't wait to see you again and for us to create together.
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:55.599
Absolutely.
00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:56.400
Thank you.
00:47:56.639 --> 00:48:00.960
