00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.280
Let's begin.
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:37.840
Here we are.
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:51.359
Today I get to have a beautiful inquiry with a friend I've actually known for a very long time and I love reflecting on how we met and the weave in which we just appear at times, which is so special.
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:58.240
So today I have a beautiful guest who she'll actually share where she is, but she's dialing in for this conversation.
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.000
I'm really, really grateful.
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.920
So I'm gonna hand it over to you, beautiful Teresa.
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.519
If you could share with us, and thank you so much for being here.
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.000
Share with us who is Teresa.
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.359
Thank you so much for having me.
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:15.840
Amazing that you started this podcast.
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:17.040
Well done.
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.840
I'm Teresa Tamara Shanti.
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.519
And I'm joining you from Wahiki Islands, and that's my hard chosen home.
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:35.599
I'm originally from Germany, and yeah, I found New Zealand through considerations.
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:48.959
And yeah, my mission, my passion is really to support people, to bring them back into themselves, into their heart, and support more holistic, coming from the sport therapy.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.359
At the same time, worked a lot and with rehabilitation.
00:01:53.519 --> 00:02:04.159
At the same time, I dive into energy work that we really have the full picture, and in this way we come back into balance and to inner peace.
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.800
Yay! That's why we're aligned.
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:11.360
We love that.
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.520
So, first question, which you know, the common thread.
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:23.439
What is for us to hear today, one moment, belief, or experience that changed the way you see the world?
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:24.879
Yes.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.919
That's for me 2016, a moment.
00:02:30.639 --> 00:03:12.159
It was my birthday, and I received a call from my dad, and he said, I'm sorry, I cannot come to your birthday lunch because I'm into Vienna with my brother, my older brother, and because he had an accident, he jumped from a river from a bridge into a river to dive on a summer day to refresh himself, and he was having crater plaquey like from the neck onwards, semi-paralyzed and into a sweat.
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:25.280
He just came straight to the exit to the hospital and get surgery and everything, and yeah, for one year in the hospital, and this whole journey with my brother gave me definitely like a wake-up call.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.719
Like, what do you want from your life or in your life?
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.479
What do you want to experience?
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:37.599
And that was so game changer for the whole family.
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:47.520
That all the small fights between like my parents are separated, everything was gone, everything is not important anymore.
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.800
Everybody is coming together, like, okay, we need to be here.
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.199
When where is someone at the hospital with him?
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:18.000
And yeah, I keep going every Thursday, I went to him, and then I would had two jobs, like in a rehabilitation center and uh in a physioclinic, and helped my grandma helped the other old lady for cross-seat shopping, and was training the girls with dancing and the workouts and everything.
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.639
And then after six months after the accident, I broke down, like I couldn't go anymore.
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.519
My body, my muscles, they blocked.
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:32.800
I couldn't train anymore, like I normally do, and I had full burnout.
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:38.079
Like from the physiotherapy clinic, they sent me home and said, like, you need time for yourself.
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.000
I was just crying at work.
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.800
And my partner to this time said, You really need your me time.
00:04:45.279 --> 00:05:18.560
And he broke up with me in this hardest moment, and then I said, Okay, I take like I cried at first, but this helped me to really say, Okay, I take charge of my own life, I take self-responsibility, and luckily I had an amazing manager, and she gave me the right books, the right questions to really start my journey, like to see what do I want, what do I feel like, what what is out there?
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:50.000
And then I remembered I was 27 to this time, and when I was 17, 18, I would love to go like as a nanny overseas and all this stuff, but but I was in a long-term relationship, and then it was really the desire to see the world, like what else is possible, and to say, okay, yes, I want to live fully, which means for me the full world, the whole world is for me.
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.160
I'm curious and I'm I want to see it.
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:10.000
Wow, what a beautiful journey, a really challenging one, yeah, and so many facets, and I hear like the universe clearing space for you even when you don't want it, but it's needed.
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:26.800
Yes, yeah, and then for you to find those answers and to be where you need to be when you need to be there, and then also to take what you need when you can, yeah, and let that be sort of the wind beneath your sails, right?
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.000
Wow.
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:36.160
Yeah, and with that now, how do you think that changes the way you view the world today?
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:47.040
With what with I mean, I know that there was a lot that you shared there, but just with you know, in a in a nutshell of that experience and and you who's come out the other side of that.
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:54.240
I definitely like the aspect of I can create my life.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.439
That came later, but that was the I would say.
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:33.040
It comes with the experience that like to step by step, like reading more books and listen to more people, and oh wow, there's a different lifestyle, there's different ways of being and being now self-employed, having my own connection to my body, to my woman cycle, having less clients when I'm bleeding, and having more clients if I'm ovulating, like finding my rhythm and not external rhythm.
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.839
Yes, I think that is the nutshell.
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:51.519
Like, this is like the moment my brother is in luckily still consciously alive, and like he can speak and he he activates his arm, he has a handpipe, which is amazing.
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:59.439
Before it was everything still, and in this way, in one moment, everything can change, and I'm grateful for my body.
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.279
I can move, I can dance, and this is for me the best.
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:11.199
This appreciation for my body, um, I think that is the game changer in the creation of your own life.
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.839
Yeah, yeah, so true, and so powerful.
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.879
Yeah, thank you for sharing.
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.639
Here we are in question two, which is in the moment.
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.480
So you don't know this question, and it actually comes off the back of something you shared at the end of question one.
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:37.919
And the reason why I ask is because we're literally just talking about that this morning and last night, and you know, when we're in the conscious weave of life, this is the way it works, right?
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:43.759
Conversations ripple and things start to open up, and the universe is like, you need to explore this, which I love.
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:56.799
Um, where I'm going with this question is can you share more about what you've learned about working with your cycle and learning about your natural rhythm as a woman?
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:57.759
Yes.
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:06.000
Honestly, that was so so beneficial for me, like so insightful.
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.320
Honoring ourselves, our body is just the biggest gift we can give ourselves.
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.960
For me, it's the information came through Charlotte from Queenstown or Kenoke.
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:36.320
She had different workshops, and she offered as well a combination of the moon cycle with the um yoga, like having understanding the moon, like rising energy, full moon, full energy.
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:46.799
If the moon is getting smaller, like slowing down, and then the new moon is like cozy, it's gentle.
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.279
And in this way, is our cycle as well.
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:54.480
And so this time, my cycle was in sync with the moon, it was amazing.
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:59.919
Like having the new moon and bleeding, it's like for me amazing.
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:09.840
Like to honor the stillness and as well honoring the powerful journey.
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:20.159
Like, if you were overlaying, like okay, then run workshops, okay, go out and going to festivals and all this stuff, like being out there.
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:34.720
And if you're pleading, you go inward, and you allow the time to journal, to allow the time to be cozy in bed in the morning, a long slow, long, slow morning.
00:10:36.559 --> 00:11:11.919
It will is really beneficial, and reflecting on it to have the emotion as well, like uh, to see the own patterns, the own emotional patterns, the eating habits, like oh, I'm craving more uh for hot chocolate to this time or cacao, but this time I don't want any cacao, and I feel like I I need more proteins and I need more of this, or I need more beetroot, and yeah, like it's super interesting to allow the time and space to to reflect with yourself and with your cycle.
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.960
That's definitely a game changer for every woman.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:22.480
Yeah, I completely agree, and it was it's really beautiful to hear well, a lot of similarities and and what's aligned for me.
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:38.799
And I love working with the moon, I love teaching in alignment with the moon, but also what I didn't under, well, what I underestimated was like I think that tuning into your cycle and tuning into your body is what ignites your intuition.
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:55.840
And and like you said, about like listening and and being in the listening of what we need and when we need it and being and not necessarily being regimented because there's nothing wrong with you if it's the new moon and you feel like you're full of energy, but could it that may not be every time.
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.559
However, it's like really tuning into how it flows for you and how it works with the cycle.
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:20.399
And that's why I wanted to bring that in because this concept of because there's a lot of conditioning around routine and and like having it everything as it is, and which I get, but I think for a woman, that routine is in a 28-day cycle, not a seven-day cycle or a or a daily cycle.
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:48.559
Yeah, and that's what I was sharing with one of my clients yesterday because she was like, I and and she was talking about how she went to the gym because that was what it was on the schedule, even though she was bleeding and and her body was like, no, and she felt really flat afterwards, and but she was looking like and that's not a mistake because she won't forget that and now she knows, you know, and it was understanding like there's times to work out and and your body wants that and it feeds off it, and there's times to not do that.
00:12:49.360 --> 00:13:31.759
I remember sort of working with cycle, and again, you your cycle does, or for some people does move, but for me, with all of this learning, it's like when my which just happened actually on the first new moon of the year, like I got my bleed on that same day, and I'm like, it just feels so special, but I feel like it's also the same with the seasons, like it's the seasons of the cycle, but it's the seasons within our year, and within and and where I really disconnected with that was with when I was traveling a lot, and I actually had like seven summers in a row, which back then felt amazing, but my body was like, I don't understand.
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:40.799
I totally hear you like with the season, with the warmth I felt with with training.
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:46.000
Like I was training when I was younger, like 10 years ago, a lot more.
00:13:46.159 --> 00:14:02.080
Now I'm not training anymore so much because my body just is a bit more gentle for my to my body, and don't want to work out hard and sometimes, but it then it's fun, but not all the time.
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.679
And and with the summer and winter season, definitely.
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:14.480
I'm going currently the last three, four years, I'm going every so New Zealand winter to German summer.
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.360
As well, this year I'm on and off.
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:18.639
Do I want to go?
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.399
Do I don't want to go?
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:27.360
Because my yes, last year my body's felt like I need a winter.
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:32.639
I don't like winter, but winter.
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:34.240
I hear you.
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:35.600
I hear you.
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:44.159
And that was that was my thinking around these constant summers, and also my thinking around like I don't like it in winter.
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:49.360
And I and and I'll be honest, I I don't I get really low if I have a whole winter.
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:56.639
So I love to have like a vitamin D injection, like some I let it go somewhere in the middle of winter, especially like the New Zealand winter.
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:07.279
But and I did that last year, but I also embraced the fact that it was still so that even though I traveled, I embraced the fact that it was winter and that my body needs slowness and my body needed quiet.
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:07.840
Yeah.
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.000
And that it is, it's that feeling, isn't it?
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.960
It's coming with, but also that hibernation and and letting things come up.
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:16.399
Yes.
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:28.799
And I think that, do you feel like that's something that because people get really blue in the winter at blue, you know, they feel really a little bit depressed, and and and there's a there's a lack of vitamin D.
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:49.519
But also, I think that we're meant to have that inward time, and it's not necessarily bad, it's just that there's things that are coming up that we didn't necessarily expect or maybe don't want to look at, but we can, and we get to, and I I think that's what winter or that quiet, so the bleed time or new moon, that's what that's about.
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.759
Yes, looking inward, no matter what comes up.
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:54.639
Exactly.
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:22.639
Looking inward, this is exactly what I feel like because if we have the winter and all the noise is slowing down, it's getting darker earlier, we come home earlier, we light the fire, and fire is so meditating or like so giving us the space as well to really reflect and uh listen deeply.
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:52.000
And we can journal, we can reflect so much about ourselves, about the situation, about the cycle, like where I was last year in this time, in this phase, and and having really like for me just into the plea, like just starting on the first two days, like I have so much to journal.
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.279
Like I need in this time as well.
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.279
I got so many insights.
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:09.920
I was like, Yes, yes, yes, yeah, wow, yeah, it's not like what is the first step, what is the smallest action I can do from this reflection?
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:24.640
Like, yeah, it's it was I'm really grateful for this time now because embracing our bleed, I'm embracing our cycles, and then not hiding it anymore.
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:40.799
Because before I feel everybody was like having their period, but it's just like yeah, it's hide hidden, but now everybody I'm on day two, I'm sorry, like I'm not going yeah, sure.
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:42.640
Make yourself, do you need anything?
00:17:42.799 --> 00:18:08.559
You know, like we embrace it, we express it, we we speak with each other, and in this way we can share more raw vulnerable and openly, and we understand, okay, if she's a bit crumpy, or if she's a bit more euphoric and she's she wants to travel the world in one day, like okay, like we know she's in a relation.
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:19.599
If she wants to hide and don't want to speak a lot, then okay, and maybe she's in bleeding and and honoring and respecting their space and time from each and everyone.
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:24.079
Yes, some people use clothes.
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.079
Yes, yeah.
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:37.759
And also, even just for a deeper understanding of self, so knowing that when you aren't with that much energy or that you are feeling lower and slower, then that's naturally your body doing what it needs to do.
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.039
And the sooner you listen, the sooner the energy comes back in.
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:46.880
But it's when we push through that, despite what we're hearing, that we spend what we don't have.
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.200
It's like spending all the money into your savings account, right?
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.279
It's like again, it's cyclic.
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.000
Yeah, it's so special.
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:59.440
And what I also hear and love to reflect is the power of reflection.
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:00.319
Yes.
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:04.559
Like, and and you'll see this in your own life, but also in the work that you do.
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:10.079
It's like, how do we know the the way we want to move forward without looking back?
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:24.559
And that doesn't mean dwelling, there's a very different thing in as in holding stories or dwelling on and like being in the victim, but it's like actually reflecting on where am I at, how am I placed, what do I want, where am I moving with and what's coming, but also not even that.
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.799
It's like what's coming through for me.
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:47.519
It's such a powerful tool that I think gets underestimated, but I understand that with the noise of the world, or also maybe not as many resources on board, it isn't as comfortable to sit with self, but it is a practice that you can build, and then it's just like the best thing ever.
00:19:49.920 --> 00:20:00.240
There's like having time and space to be quiet and to reflect to to just write whatever is coming and what is present.
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:02.960
For me, this is luxury.
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:04.480
Agreed.
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:15.599
This is luxury to to allow and to tune in, and yeah, the reflection is a gift to ourselves, yeah.
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:23.200
And then I hear it's like, how do you know where you want to go without really understanding where you've been?
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:28.960
And many facets of that, which is just so special.
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:31.519
Thank you for sharing your insight on it.
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:41.440
Is there anything else that you feel like is a key sort of piece of your own tools or resources that helps you tune into your cycle?
00:20:50.160 --> 00:21:11.519
I think at first being patient with ourselves to not having every day reflection time, having day every day like I I need to track everything, like slow down, like it it's a journey over years that some months I'm I'm writing more and reflecting more.
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:42.400
And sometimes it's it was just the new moon and the full moon was like I was reflecting, like, oh, how I feel, and then more and more like be patient with yourself and have the acceptance that like yeah, maybe your work life is not in sync with this your own cycle, because you have in a way is a work life which is not adjusting or not that easy to adjust, or having children and everything.
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:50.960
Have your own time and space to figure out how you s can start in a small step to tune in.
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:54.079
Just when you're bleeding, write down.
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.839
Just start with one small thing and not the whole cycle because I agree.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.200
Well, it's also not something that you can force figuring out.
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.119
You actually just need to be in the listening of it.
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.240
So I love what you're saying because slowest is the fastest way to get there.
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.359
Because just and that's why I also say that too.
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:12.640
It's like just start tracking your cycle.
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:16.000
And they're like, and I was like, just start paying attention to it.
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:17.759
And then you'll start to notice things.
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:19.359
And then you'll notice what you notice.
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:25.599
And then that intuition will start to because it's not something that that you get right or pass a test.
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.960
It's like just being in the listening of your body.
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.240
And that swings back to what you said right at the beginning.
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.000
It's like just the greatest gift.
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:42.640
And I believe this too is that the relationship we have with ourselves, but also understanding the more we care for this vessel, the more it guides the way.
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:43.759
Yes.
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:46.079
Yes.
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:48.319
So good.
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:53.599
So my love, you have in reflecting light, question three.
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:55.519
You have a question for me.
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.119
Yes.
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:00.720
I have a question.
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.920
You had the idea of the podcast one day.
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:05.119
How many years ago?
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.119
How many years ago?
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:09.119
I had the first idea.
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:11.200
Yeah, the first idea?
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:11.759
Oh.
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:14.640
The first idea.
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:24.720
I think it probably started brewing in like mid no early 2025.
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:26.400
Beautiful.
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:26.720
Yeah.
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:31.200
And like when for me is the question, when did you get the idea?
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:36.240
And what was the journey to make it happen that you said, okay, no?
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:37.119
I commit.
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:44.720
I learned what it takes about technical stuff and do everything and uh finding my people and everything.
00:23:44.880 --> 00:24:00.640
What was your journey with really say, okay, I'm doing a podcast, I commit, I show up, I support the people with your beautiful uh guidance, with your beautiful wisdom, and sharing with other people together the wisdom.
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:02.880
Yeah, so cool.
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.480
So I love that you asked when I had the idea, and then I get to share.
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:15.359
Like, so now that I know myself more and I'm a projector, so you let things just simmer until it's like go time, right?
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.880
And for projectors, it's like self-care, self-care, self-care.
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.279
I've got lots of energy and there's an idea.
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:29.119
So I had the idea, but the thing was that earlier in my in my entrepreneurial days, there was a lot of people coming at me.
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:30.799
You need to have podcasts, you need to have a podcast.
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:31.839
This is what you should do.
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.799
And I was like, Well, I really don't want to do it then.
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.599
I'm not doing it because I should.
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:38.720
I don't want that.
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:46.319
But then I started to really work with my clients and see some patterns and some rhythms.
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:51.839
And then I started to meet really beautiful people like yourself and some dear friends.
00:24:52.160 --> 00:25:00.960
And we'd get to like we'd be deep in conversation, or we'd get to the end of like, you know, really beautiful transmission, so to speak.
00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:05.920
And I would think to myself, man, I wish other people could hear these combos.
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.079
And so that's that's what inspired it.
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:10.559
And that was still like in the brewing phase of it.
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:13.440
And then it's funny because this goes back to the second question, right?
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:17.119
And then I knew that I needed like a winter away.
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:29.839
I needed, in order to create and in order to see what wants to come through for me, and the podcast wasn't necessarily in my mind, but um, what needs to come through was to not work, not do any uh events or any clients.
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:35.759
So I took myself up for winter up very far north in a house set and just made space for myself.
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:40.640
And I was like, just whatever needs to come through, but I'm gonna embrace this winter and I want to be in the hibernation.
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.559
And then it just kind of the seed that the podcast seed just started brewing.
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:57.279
And then this is the way it works for me, and it's probably around the full moon, I think it was, but then I just wake up in the middle of the night and I'm like, holy god, and I start writing stuff down, and then the next day I just I did the whole thing.
00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:58.720
So, like, and that's what I mean.
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:04.799
Like, and when I turn into my projector energy, it's like when the idea is right there, it happens in no time at all.
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:10.960
So it's not as though we're lazy or we go slower than others, it's just like we have a different way of doing it, right?
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.400
And so, yes, and that's literally what happened.
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:16.319
I just I was so laser focused.
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:32.799
Like eight hours later, I had it all set up, I had the invites ready, and I was sending it out because I started with my person who was working with me in digital marking because I wanted to flip the script and I wanted to work with someone behind the scenes rather than looking for the flat.
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:39.519
I was like, I want these people who I'm having these deep corridors to start, and then I invited my friends and it just went from there.
00:26:39.599 --> 00:27:02.559
But the other mission around it was wanting to celebrate all these beautiful people I know that do such incredible work, and I wanted to celebrate that the wisdom is within us if we just open up to that inquiry and we just open up to that conversation, and I I just that's what I wanted to share.
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:13.920
So it feels really special to share that and to understand that I just trust myself when I get to that point, which is just so powerful.
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:30.079
So, you know, it feels full circle sharing that because it's about being in the deep listening, it's about trusting the cycles, it's about and and and the deep listening, but also trusting self.
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:31.599
So that's what I love about human design.
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:39.359
And I haven't dived in a whole lot, but just understanding my design and how I make decisions and how things come through for me has been really helpful.
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:46.480
And I talked to a beautiful human, John, and I'm hoping he will come back on, but a little bit about more of the human design.
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:53.440
I actually had a session with him too, because I think it's a powerful place to understand self.
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:54.880
Do you feel that much?
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.359
I'm a two-four emotional protector.
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:00.799
Yes.
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:12.480
Something is bubbly, but like not really, nah, not yet, nah.
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.680
I don't feel like it.
00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:19.519
I stay in bed, and then one morning you wake up and you just need to make it happen.
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:30.240
And then oh, and yeah, some generators they they're amazing, emma always like on the go.
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:31.920
Amazing stamina.
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:36.319
Yeah, so true.
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:42.160
I think another one that I learned about myself is that I'm a three-five, so I'm meant to experiment, right?
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:50.079
And that was really powerful for me because I had the lens and the conditioning of like you keep trying these things and they don't work out, and that means you're failing.
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:54.000
And I was like, no, no, I've learned like that's actually what I'm supposed to do.
00:28:54.240 --> 00:29:02.480
And I and there's so much that I learned, and I don't see it as a failure, but in that pivot, like of trying it and then being like, nope, and trying that, and nope.
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:10.400
But it doesn't mean that when I tried those things that I'm not going forward with, that I didn't gather what I needed for what's gonna pop out next.
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:12.559
Totally, totally, yes.
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:21.039
I'm a two-for, like a hermit and opportunityist, because that yeah, follow like my life in New Zealand.
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:34.079
Like I always traveled where I see the most potential, where I see the biggest opportunity, I go there and I live there and work there, and I feel okay, where's the most alignment right now?
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.200
And it works so far for me.
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.039
Yes, I love it.
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.480
It's so necessary, definitely.
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:59.680
It really and my for me, like learning more about the projector really helped me understand myself as an introvert and as like needing to like draw energy in, and and that that's how I work, and it's not a bad thing, I'm not lazy or a lack of it.
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:03.039
There's always just this is way to generate energy, which I love.
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:09.519
So you've traveled to Waihiki Island, and I think you work online as well.
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:19.519
So, what I wanted to end with, and what I would love for you to share with other people is how do you how do people work with you?
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:24.559
How do people find you and and what are you offering at the moment that people can connect with?
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.519
To work with people to support them to walk their own journey.
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:43.279
Like I run different workshops, like I run one-on-one on Wahiki Island.
00:30:44.319 --> 00:31:16.640
There we do body posture in inner posture, which means like it's body work, energy work, and as well personal training to see the posture, how can we align from the physical world, physical body into ourself, or what is there in the mindset, in our values, or in our inner posture to align to ourself, and the inner posture and the I can do it as well online.
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:52.240
My Instagram is Shanti Therapy Training, and Instagram, Facebook, and the website, and it's really it's a pleasure to sometimes there's just like the people are so scattered in this world, in this society of like it's getting everything too much, and we need to retreat and we need to understand ourselves again, and because that that is my pleasure to support in this way.
00:31:52.559 --> 00:32:03.279
And yeah, and and with the workshop is vision board workshops to really ambition as well our future, and as well for highly sensitive people.
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:07.440
I'm going more and more into this field because I'm highly sensitive.
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:36.480
I felt weird in this world, and I feel we don't need to feel weird, we need to just find our people, we just need to find our tools to be in the present moment, to retreat, to to find our way of living, and that's why I'm building more and more community to for empaths, highly sensitive people, and that is my vision with my podcast in in one day.
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:41.839
Yeah, that is that is uh my my heart uh is calling.
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:44.799
I love that.
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:47.680

00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:08.559

00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:36.319
Thank you so much.

Listening to your guidance and making it happen.
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:40.880
Thank you.
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:41.519
Yes.
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:09.199
Welcome to Exciting Inspired Inquiry, a space for real conversations with incredible humans.
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:14.960
I'm your host, Jay, and I'm here to open the door to reflection, resonance, and revelation.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:21.679
If you have a moment to like, share, subscribe, or review, I would deeply appreciate you sharing the love.
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:28.079
This is a space for truth, trust, and the kind of insight that comes from simply being human.
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:29.760
Thank you for being here.
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.280
Let's begin.
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:37.840
Here we are.
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:51.359
Today I get to have a beautiful inquiry with a friend I've actually known for a very long time and I love reflecting on how we met and the weave in which we just appear at times, which is so special.
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:58.240
So today I have a beautiful guest who she'll actually share where she is, but she's dialing in for this conversation.
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.000
I'm really, really grateful.
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.920
So I'm gonna hand it over to you, beautiful Teresa.
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.519
If you could share with us, and thank you so much for being here.
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.000
Share with us who is Teresa.
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.359
Thank you so much for having me.
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:15.840
Amazing that you started this podcast.
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:17.040
Well done.
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.840
I'm Teresa Tamara Shanti.
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.519
And I'm joining you from Wahiki Islands, and that's my hard chosen home.
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:35.599
I'm originally from Germany, and yeah, I found New Zealand through considerations.
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:48.959
And yeah, my mission, my passion is really to support people, to bring them back into themselves, into their heart, and support more holistic, coming from the sport therapy.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.359
At the same time, worked a lot and with rehabilitation.
00:01:53.519 --> 00:02:04.159
At the same time, I dive into energy work that we really have the full picture, and in this way we come back into balance and to inner peace.
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.800
Yay! That's why we're aligned.
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:11.360
We love that.
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.520
So, first question, which you know, the common thread.
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:23.439
What is for us to hear today, one moment, belief, or experience that changed the way you see the world?
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:24.879
Yes.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.919
That's for me 2016, a moment.
00:02:30.639 --> 00:03:12.159
It was my birthday, and I received a call from my dad, and he said, I'm sorry, I cannot come to your birthday lunch because I'm into Vienna with my brother, my older brother, and because he had an accident, he jumped from a river from a bridge into a river to dive on a summer day to refresh himself, and he was having crater plaquey like from the neck onwards, semi-paralyzed and into a sweat.
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:25.280
He just came straight to the exit to the hospital and get surgery and everything, and yeah, for one year in the hospital, and this whole journey with my brother gave me definitely like a wake-up call.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.719
Like, what do you want from your life or in your life?
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.479
What do you want to experience?
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:37.599
And that was so game changer for the whole family.
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:47.520
That all the small fights between like my parents are separated, everything was gone, everything is not important anymore.
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.800
Everybody is coming together, like, okay, we need to be here.
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.199
When where is someone at the hospital with him?
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:18.000
And yeah, I keep going every Thursday, I went to him, and then I would had two jobs, like in a rehabilitation center and uh in a physioclinic, and helped my grandma helped the other old lady for cross-seat shopping, and was training the girls with dancing and the workouts and everything.
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.639
And then after six months after the accident, I broke down, like I couldn't go anymore.
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.519
My body, my muscles, they blocked.
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:32.800
I couldn't train anymore, like I normally do, and I had full burnout.
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:38.079
Like from the physiotherapy clinic, they sent me home and said, like, you need time for yourself.
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.000
I was just crying at work.
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.800
And my partner to this time said, You really need your me time.
00:04:45.279 --> 00:05:18.560
And he broke up with me in this hardest moment, and then I said, Okay, I take like I cried at first, but this helped me to really say, Okay, I take charge of my own life, I take self-responsibility, and luckily I had an amazing manager, and she gave me the right books, the right questions to really start my journey, like to see what do I want, what do I feel like, what what is out there?
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:50.000
And then I remembered I was 27 to this time, and when I was 17, 18, I would love to go like as a nanny overseas and all this stuff, but but I was in a long-term relationship, and then it was really the desire to see the world, like what else is possible, and to say, okay, yes, I want to live fully, which means for me the full world, the whole world is for me.
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.160
I'm curious and I'm I want to see it.
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:10.000
Wow, what a beautiful journey, a really challenging one, yeah, and so many facets, and I hear like the universe clearing space for you even when you don't want it, but it's needed.
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:26.800
Yes, yeah, and then for you to find those answers and to be where you need to be when you need to be there, and then also to take what you need when you can, yeah, and let that be sort of the wind beneath your sails, right?
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.000
Wow.
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:36.160
Yeah, and with that now, how do you think that changes the way you view the world today?
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:47.040
With what with I mean, I know that there was a lot that you shared there, but just with you know, in a in a nutshell of that experience and and you who's come out the other side of that.
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:54.240
I definitely like the aspect of I can create my life.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.439
That came later, but that was the I would say.
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:33.040
It comes with the experience that like to step by step, like reading more books and listen to more people, and oh wow, there's a different lifestyle, there's different ways of being and being now self-employed, having my own connection to my body, to my woman cycle, having less clients when I'm bleeding, and having more clients if I'm ovulating, like finding my rhythm and not external rhythm.
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.839
Yes, I think that is the nutshell.
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:51.519
Like, this is like the moment my brother is in luckily still consciously alive, and like he can speak and he he activates his arm, he has a handpipe, which is amazing.
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:59.439
Before it was everything still, and in this way, in one moment, everything can change, and I'm grateful for my body.
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.279
I can move, I can dance, and this is for me the best.
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:11.199
This appreciation for my body, um, I think that is the game changer in the creation of your own life.
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.839
Yeah, yeah, so true, and so powerful.
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.879
Yeah, thank you for sharing.
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.639
Here we are in question two, which is in the moment.
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.480
So you don't know this question, and it actually comes off the back of something you shared at the end of question one.
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:37.919
And the reason why I ask is because we're literally just talking about that this morning and last night, and you know, when we're in the conscious weave of life, this is the way it works, right?
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:43.759
Conversations ripple and things start to open up, and the universe is like, you need to explore this, which I love.
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:56.799
Um, where I'm going with this question is can you share more about what you've learned about working with your cycle and learning about your natural rhythm as a woman?
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:57.759
Yes.
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:06.000
Honestly, that was so so beneficial for me, like so insightful.
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.320
Honoring ourselves, our body is just the biggest gift we can give ourselves.
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.960
For me, it's the information came through Charlotte from Queenstown or Kenoke.
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:36.320
She had different workshops, and she offered as well a combination of the moon cycle with the um yoga, like having understanding the moon, like rising energy, full moon, full energy.
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:46.799
If the moon is getting smaller, like slowing down, and then the new moon is like cozy, it's gentle.
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.279
And in this way, is our cycle as well.
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:54.480
And so this time, my cycle was in sync with the moon, it was amazing.
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:59.919
Like having the new moon and bleeding, it's like for me amazing.
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:09.840
Like to honor the stillness and as well honoring the powerful journey.
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:20.159
Like, if you were overlaying, like okay, then run workshops, okay, go out and going to festivals and all this stuff, like being out there.
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:34.720
And if you're pleading, you go inward, and you allow the time to journal, to allow the time to be cozy in bed in the morning, a long slow, long, slow morning.
00:10:36.559 --> 00:11:11.919
It will is really beneficial, and reflecting on it to have the emotion as well, like uh, to see the own patterns, the own emotional patterns, the eating habits, like oh, I'm craving more uh for hot chocolate to this time or cacao, but this time I don't want any cacao, and I feel like I I need more proteins and I need more of this, or I need more beetroot, and yeah, like it's super interesting to allow the time and space to to reflect with yourself and with your cycle.
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.960
That's definitely a game changer for every woman.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:22.480
Yeah, I completely agree, and it was it's really beautiful to hear well, a lot of similarities and and what's aligned for me.
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:38.799
And I love working with the moon, I love teaching in alignment with the moon, but also what I didn't under, well, what I underestimated was like I think that tuning into your cycle and tuning into your body is what ignites your intuition.
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:55.840
And and like you said, about like listening and and being in the listening of what we need and when we need it and being and not necessarily being regimented because there's nothing wrong with you if it's the new moon and you feel like you're full of energy, but could it that may not be every time.
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.559
However, it's like really tuning into how it flows for you and how it works with the cycle.
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:20.399
And that's why I wanted to bring that in because this concept of because there's a lot of conditioning around routine and and like having it everything as it is, and which I get, but I think for a woman, that routine is in a 28-day cycle, not a seven-day cycle or a or a daily cycle.
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:48.559
Yeah, and that's what I was sharing with one of my clients yesterday because she was like, I and and she was talking about how she went to the gym because that was what it was on the schedule, even though she was bleeding and and her body was like, no, and she felt really flat afterwards, and but she was looking like and that's not a mistake because she won't forget that and now she knows, you know, and it was understanding like there's times to work out and and your body wants that and it feeds off it, and there's times to not do that.
00:12:49.360 --> 00:13:31.759
I remember sort of working with cycle, and again, you your cycle does, or for some people does move, but for me, with all of this learning, it's like when my which just happened actually on the first new moon of the year, like I got my bleed on that same day, and I'm like, it just feels so special, but I feel like it's also the same with the seasons, like it's the seasons of the cycle, but it's the seasons within our year, and within and and where I really disconnected with that was with when I was traveling a lot, and I actually had like seven summers in a row, which back then felt amazing, but my body was like, I don't understand.
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:40.799
I totally hear you like with the season, with the warmth I felt with with training.
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:46.000
Like I was training when I was younger, like 10 years ago, a lot more.
00:13:46.159 --> 00:14:02.080
Now I'm not training anymore so much because my body just is a bit more gentle for my to my body, and don't want to work out hard and sometimes, but it then it's fun, but not all the time.
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.679
And and with the summer and winter season, definitely.
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:14.480
I'm going currently the last three, four years, I'm going every so New Zealand winter to German summer.
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.360
As well, this year I'm on and off.
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:18.639
Do I want to go?
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.399
Do I don't want to go?
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:27.360
Because my yes, last year my body's felt like I need a winter.
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:32.639
I don't like winter, but winter.
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:34.240
I hear you.
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:35.600
I hear you.
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:44.159
And that was that was my thinking around these constant summers, and also my thinking around like I don't like it in winter.
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:49.360
And I and and I'll be honest, I I don't I get really low if I have a whole winter.
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:56.639
So I love to have like a vitamin D injection, like some I let it go somewhere in the middle of winter, especially like the New Zealand winter.
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:07.279
But and I did that last year, but I also embraced the fact that it was still so that even though I traveled, I embraced the fact that it was winter and that my body needs slowness and my body needed quiet.
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:07.840
Yeah.
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.000
And that it is, it's that feeling, isn't it?
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.960
It's coming with, but also that hibernation and and letting things come up.
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:16.399
Yes.
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:28.799
And I think that, do you feel like that's something that because people get really blue in the winter at blue, you know, they feel really a little bit depressed, and and and there's a there's a lack of vitamin D.
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:49.519
But also, I think that we're meant to have that inward time, and it's not necessarily bad, it's just that there's things that are coming up that we didn't necessarily expect or maybe don't want to look at, but we can, and we get to, and I I think that's what winter or that quiet, so the bleed time or new moon, that's what that's about.
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.759
Yes, looking inward, no matter what comes up.
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:54.639
Exactly.
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:22.639
Looking inward, this is exactly what I feel like because if we have the winter and all the noise is slowing down, it's getting darker earlier, we come home earlier, we light the fire, and fire is so meditating or like so giving us the space as well to really reflect and uh listen deeply.
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:52.000
And we can journal, we can reflect so much about ourselves, about the situation, about the cycle, like where I was last year in this time, in this phase, and and having really like for me just into the plea, like just starting on the first two days, like I have so much to journal.
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.279
Like I need in this time as well.
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.279
I got so many insights.
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:09.920
I was like, Yes, yes, yes, yeah, wow, yeah, it's not like what is the first step, what is the smallest action I can do from this reflection?
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:24.640
Like, yeah, it's it was I'm really grateful for this time now because embracing our bleed, I'm embracing our cycles, and then not hiding it anymore.
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:40.799
Because before I feel everybody was like having their period, but it's just like yeah, it's hide hidden, but now everybody I'm on day two, I'm sorry, like I'm not going yeah, sure.
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:42.640
Make yourself, do you need anything?
00:17:42.799 --> 00:18:08.559
You know, like we embrace it, we express it, we we speak with each other, and in this way we can share more raw vulnerable and openly, and we understand, okay, if she's a bit crumpy, or if she's a bit more euphoric and she's she wants to travel the world in one day, like okay, like we know she's in a relation.
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:19.599
If she wants to hide and don't want to speak a lot, then okay, and maybe she's in bleeding and and honoring and respecting their space and time from each and everyone.
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:24.079
Yes, some people use clothes.
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.079
Yes, yeah.
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:37.759
And also, even just for a deeper understanding of self, so knowing that when you aren't with that much energy or that you are feeling lower and slower, then that's naturally your body doing what it needs to do.
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.039
And the sooner you listen, the sooner the energy comes back in.
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:46.880
But it's when we push through that, despite what we're hearing, that we spend what we don't have.
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.200
It's like spending all the money into your savings account, right?
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.279
It's like again, it's cyclic.
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.000
Yeah, it's so special.
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:59.440
And what I also hear and love to reflect is the power of reflection.
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:00.319
Yes.
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:04.559
Like, and and you'll see this in your own life, but also in the work that you do.
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:10.079
It's like, how do we know the the way we want to move forward without looking back?
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:24.559
And that doesn't mean dwelling, there's a very different thing in as in holding stories or dwelling on and like being in the victim, but it's like actually reflecting on where am I at, how am I placed, what do I want, where am I moving with and what's coming, but also not even that.
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.799
It's like what's coming through for me.
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:47.519
It's such a powerful tool that I think gets underestimated, but I understand that with the noise of the world, or also maybe not as many resources on board, it isn't as comfortable to sit with self, but it is a practice that you can build, and then it's just like the best thing ever.
00:19:49.920 --> 00:20:00.240
There's like having time and space to be quiet and to reflect to to just write whatever is coming and what is present.
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:02.960
For me, this is luxury.
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:04.480
Agreed.
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:15.599
This is luxury to to allow and to tune in, and yeah, the reflection is a gift to ourselves, yeah.
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:23.200
And then I hear it's like, how do you know where you want to go without really understanding where you've been?
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:28.960
And many facets of that, which is just so special.
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:31.519
Thank you for sharing your insight on it.
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:41.440
Is there anything else that you feel like is a key sort of piece of your own tools or resources that helps you tune into your cycle?
00:20:50.160 --> 00:21:11.519
I think at first being patient with ourselves to not having every day reflection time, having day every day like I I need to track everything, like slow down, like it it's a journey over years that some months I'm I'm writing more and reflecting more.
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:42.400
And sometimes it's it was just the new moon and the full moon was like I was reflecting, like, oh, how I feel, and then more and more like be patient with yourself and have the acceptance that like yeah, maybe your work life is not in sync with this your own cycle, because you have in a way is a work life which is not adjusting or not that easy to adjust, or having children and everything.
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:50.960
Have your own time and space to figure out how you s can start in a small step to tune in.
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:54.079
Just when you're bleeding, write down.
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.839
Just start with one small thing and not the whole cycle because I agree.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.200
Well, it's also not something that you can force figuring out.
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.119
You actually just need to be in the listening of it.
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.240
So I love what you're saying because slowest is the fastest way to get there.
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.359
Because just and that's why I also say that too.
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:12.640
It's like just start tracking your cycle.
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:16.000
And they're like, and I was like, just start paying attention to it.
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:17.759
And then you'll start to notice things.
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:19.359
And then you'll notice what you notice.
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:25.599
And then that intuition will start to because it's not something that that you get right or pass a test.
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.960
It's like just being in the listening of your body.
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.240
And that swings back to what you said right at the beginning.
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.000
It's like just the greatest gift.
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:42.640
And I believe this too is that the relationship we have with ourselves, but also understanding the more we care for this vessel, the more it guides the way.
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:43.759
Yes.
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:46.079
Yes.
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:48.319
So good.
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:53.599
So my love, you have in reflecting light, question three.
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:55.519
You have a question for me.
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.119
Yes.
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:00.720
I have a question.
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.920
You had the idea of the podcast one day.
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:05.119
How many years ago?
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.119
How many years ago?
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:09.119
I had the first idea.
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:11.200
Yeah, the first idea?
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:11.759
Oh.
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:14.640
The first idea.
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:24.720
I think it probably started brewing in like mid no early 2025.
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:26.400
Beautiful.
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:26.720
Yeah.
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:31.200
And like when for me is the question, when did you get the idea?
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:36.240
And what was the journey to make it happen that you said, okay, no?
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:37.119
I commit.
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:44.720
I learned what it takes about technical stuff and do everything and uh finding my people and everything.
00:23:44.880 --> 00:24:00.640
What was your journey with really say, okay, I'm doing a podcast, I commit, I show up, I support the people with your beautiful uh guidance, with your beautiful wisdom, and sharing with other people together the wisdom.
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:02.880
Yeah, so cool.
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.480
So I love that you asked when I had the idea, and then I get to share.
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:15.359
Like, so now that I know myself more and I'm a projector, so you let things just simmer until it's like go time, right?
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.880
And for projectors, it's like self-care, self-care, self-care.
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.279
I've got lots of energy and there's an idea.
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:29.119
So I had the idea, but the thing was that earlier in my in my entrepreneurial days, there was a lot of people coming at me.
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:30.799
You need to have podcasts, you need to have a podcast.
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:31.839
This is what you should do.
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.799
And I was like, Well, I really don't want to do it then.
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.599
I'm not doing it because I should.
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:38.720
I don't want that.
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:46.319
But then I started to really work with my clients and see some patterns and some rhythms.
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:51.839
And then I started to meet really beautiful people like yourself and some dear friends.
00:24:52.160 --> 00:25:00.960
And we'd get to like we'd be deep in conversation, or we'd get to the end of like, you know, really beautiful transmission, so to speak.
00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:05.920
And I would think to myself, man, I wish other people could hear these combos.
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.079
And so that's that's what inspired it.
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:10.559
And that was still like in the brewing phase of it.
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:13.440
And then it's funny because this goes back to the second question, right?
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:17.119
And then I knew that I needed like a winter away.
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:29.839
I needed, in order to create and in order to see what wants to come through for me, and the podcast wasn't necessarily in my mind, but um, what needs to come through was to not work, not do any uh events or any clients.
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:35.759
So I took myself up for winter up very far north in a house set and just made space for myself.
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:40.640
And I was like, just whatever needs to come through, but I'm gonna embrace this winter and I want to be in the hibernation.
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.559
And then it just kind of the seed that the podcast seed just started brewing.
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:57.279
And then this is the way it works for me, and it's probably around the full moon, I think it was, but then I just wake up in the middle of the night and I'm like, holy god, and I start writing stuff down, and then the next day I just I did the whole thing.
00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:58.720
So, like, and that's what I mean.
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:04.799
Like, and when I turn into my projector energy, it's like when the idea is right there, it happens in no time at all.
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:10.960
So it's not as though we're lazy or we go slower than others, it's just like we have a different way of doing it, right?
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.400
And so, yes, and that's literally what happened.
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:16.319
I just I was so laser focused.
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:32.799
Like eight hours later, I had it all set up, I had the invites ready, and I was sending it out because I started with my person who was working with me in digital marking because I wanted to flip the script and I wanted to work with someone behind the scenes rather than looking for the flat.
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:39.519
I was like, I want these people who I'm having these deep corridors to start, and then I invited my friends and it just went from there.
00:26:39.599 --> 00:27:02.559
But the other mission around it was wanting to celebrate all these beautiful people I know that do such incredible work, and I wanted to celebrate that the wisdom is within us if we just open up to that inquiry and we just open up to that conversation, and I I just that's what I wanted to share.
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:13.920
So it feels really special to share that and to understand that I just trust myself when I get to that point, which is just so powerful.
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:30.079
So, you know, it feels full circle sharing that because it's about being in the deep listening, it's about trusting the cycles, it's about and and and the deep listening, but also trusting self.
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:31.599
So that's what I love about human design.
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:39.359
And I haven't dived in a whole lot, but just understanding my design and how I make decisions and how things come through for me has been really helpful.
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:46.480
And I talked to a beautiful human, John, and I'm hoping he will come back on, but a little bit about more of the human design.
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:53.440
I actually had a session with him too, because I think it's a powerful place to understand self.
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:54.880
Do you feel that much?
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.359
I'm a two-four emotional protector.
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:00.799
Yes.
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:12.480
Something is bubbly, but like not really, nah, not yet, nah.
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.680
I don't feel like it.
00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:19.519
I stay in bed, and then one morning you wake up and you just need to make it happen.
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:30.240
And then oh, and yeah, some generators they they're amazing, emma always like on the go.
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:31.920
Amazing stamina.
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:36.319
Yeah, so true.
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:42.160
I think another one that I learned about myself is that I'm a three-five, so I'm meant to experiment, right?
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:50.079
And that was really powerful for me because I had the lens and the conditioning of like you keep trying these things and they don't work out, and that means you're failing.
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:54.000
And I was like, no, no, I've learned like that's actually what I'm supposed to do.
00:28:54.240 --> 00:29:02.480
And I and there's so much that I learned, and I don't see it as a failure, but in that pivot, like of trying it and then being like, nope, and trying that, and nope.
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:10.400
But it doesn't mean that when I tried those things that I'm not going forward with, that I didn't gather what I needed for what's gonna pop out next.
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:12.559
Totally, totally, yes.
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:21.039
I'm a two-for, like a hermit and opportunityist, because that yeah, follow like my life in New Zealand.
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:34.079
Like I always traveled where I see the most potential, where I see the biggest opportunity, I go there and I live there and work there, and I feel okay, where's the most alignment right now?
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.200
And it works so far for me.
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.039
Yes, I love it.
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.480
It's so necessary, definitely.
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:59.680
It really and my for me, like learning more about the projector really helped me understand myself as an introvert and as like needing to like draw energy in, and and that that's how I work, and it's not a bad thing, I'm not lazy or a lack of it.
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:03.039
There's always just this is way to generate energy, which I love.
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:09.519
So you've traveled to Waihiki Island, and I think you work online as well.
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:19.519
So, what I wanted to end with, and what I would love for you to share with other people is how do you how do people work with you?
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:24.559
How do people find you and and what are you offering at the moment that people can connect with?
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.519
To work with people to support them to walk their own journey.
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:43.279
Like I run different workshops, like I run one-on-one on Wahiki Island.
00:30:44.319 --> 00:31:16.640
There we do body posture in inner posture, which means like it's body work, energy work, and as well personal training to see the posture, how can we align from the physical world, physical body into ourself, or what is there in the mindset, in our values, or in our inner posture to align to ourself, and the inner posture and the I can do it as well online.
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:52.240
My Instagram is Shanti Therapy Training, and Instagram, Facebook, and the website, and it's really it's a pleasure to sometimes there's just like the people are so scattered in this world, in this society of like it's getting everything too much, and we need to retreat and we need to understand ourselves again, and because that that is my pleasure to support in this way.
00:31:52.559 --> 00:32:03.279
And yeah, and and with the workshop is vision board workshops to really ambition as well our future, and as well for highly sensitive people.
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:07.440
I'm going more and more into this field because I'm highly sensitive.
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:36.480
I felt weird in this world, and I feel we don't need to feel weird, we need to just find our people, we just need to find our tools to be in the present moment, to retreat, to to find our way of living, and that's why I'm building more and more community to for empaths, highly sensitive people, and that is my vision with my podcast in in one day.
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:41.839
Yeah, that is that is uh my my heart uh is calling.
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:44.799
I love that.
