00:04:24.043 --> 00:04:25.314 In about 15 months. 00:04:25.324 --> 00:04:27.074 So we were well ahead of target. 00:04:27.463 --> 00:04:56.524 And yeah, we're just we're just living our life This is the eighth country that we've lived in and worked in And yeah, we just get to travel the world work remotely and and also do something that i'm hugely passionate about Which is helping other people to grow and develop as well And so that's kind of like my potted history and what i'm all about but we can go In any direction, we can dive into more of that if you want to, I'm, I'm open to share more of my story, it's up to you, it's your, it's your podcast. 00:04:57.163 --> 00:05:17.858 Oh my god, the conversations I've had with guests, we always, like, listeners, I have all my guests fill out an application, and it's our jumping off point, but we've all, like, all my guests have always taken left turns, and we've ended up in, like, different conversations, so, one, I love your story, and kudos for finishing, like, three months early. 00:05:18.088 --> 00:05:20.088 Earlier than what you had anticipated. 00:05:20.769 --> 00:05:23.999 Me and my husband are so notoriously bad at planning stuff. 00:05:23.999 --> 00:05:33.309 Like we were good at the planning part, but then we feel like every single time we plan something, it completely goes awry, you know? 00:05:33.309 --> 00:05:40.149 Like, we were planning on moving to LA and now with the fires and the rent increases, that's just. 00:05:40.379 --> 00:05:41.358 being put on hold. 00:05:41.358 --> 00:05:50.658 And there are people who are actually in LA right now who need, who need the housing because at this time of this recording, the LA fires is still a really relevant thing right now. 00:05:51.028 --> 00:05:54.338 So yeah, we've just kind of learned to kind of go with the flow. 00:05:54.338 --> 00:05:56.468 And now that we have a toddler and a newborn, it's. 00:05:57.293 --> 00:06:00.213 You kind of have to at this point, but yes, okay. 00:06:00.213 --> 00:06:01.963 So I am, I have so many questions. 00:06:01.973 --> 00:06:02.283 Okay. 00:06:02.673 --> 00:06:06.343 You took the leap from, the health and wellness. 00:06:06.403 --> 00:06:09.894 And you mentioned a six step framework, which was like the pathway to purpose. 00:06:09.894 --> 00:06:12.723 So like, could you go into that a little bit? 00:06:13.894 --> 00:06:14.204 Yeah. 00:06:14.204 --> 00:06:14.504 Yeah. 00:06:14.504 --> 00:06:21.754 So that's, I guess you could call it a framework, a system, a methodology for how I help my, my clients. 00:06:21.754 --> 00:06:26.593 And there's different stages to it, but the key stages are the first part is. 00:06:27.644 --> 00:06:30.894 What I like to call kind of, dream setting. 00:06:30.903 --> 00:06:36.634 So that encompasses many different things, but my first starting point with any client is. 00:06:36.983 --> 00:06:43.204 To get clarity and to get crystal clear clarity, not just for me, but more importantly for them on what it is they truly want. 00:06:43.624 --> 00:06:54.153 And I don't feel enough people go deep enough on this, so they kind of go surface level and they don't strip away the layers of the onion to find out deep inside, and I always say in the heart. 00:06:54.514 --> 00:06:59.244 What they want from their life and how they want their life to look, feel, smell, taste, all of that kind of stuff. 00:06:59.244 --> 00:07:05.954 So the kind of starting point is this set in the dreams, but also kind of getting a gauger of where they're at right now. 00:07:06.004 --> 00:07:14.903 And in, in that part of dream setting as well, we include stuff like figuring out your personal values, figuring out your vision, figuring out your goals, all that kind of stuff. 00:07:15.588 --> 00:07:23.668 Then once I've got that, part in place, the kind of second step of it is creating a plan and you spoke about planning there and you and your husband are not necessarily good at it. 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.838 And I think there's lots of elements to a plan. 00:07:26.838 --> 00:07:30.309 And I think where a lot of people go wrong is they truly believe that. 00:07:31.004 --> 00:07:35.283 A plan has to be fixed and almost like military regimented plan. 00:07:35.593 --> 00:07:41.374 And then when something goes wrong or they have a challenge or a setback, the whole world crumbles or they, or things fall apart. 00:07:41.653 --> 00:07:47.213 So when I'm creating a plan alongside a client, I like it to firstly be. 00:07:47.764 --> 00:07:51.834 aligned with who they are and what their values are and what their vision is and what their dreams are. 00:07:52.153 --> 00:07:57.713 But also it needs to be flexible and it needs to be able to move and mold and be malleable. 00:07:57.733 --> 00:08:03.874 So as, as they're navigating through that journey towards that dream life or towards that life of purpose and fulfillment. 00:08:04.608 --> 00:08:11.949 If something does come up, a roadblock, a hiccup, when crazy stuff happens, they can navigate that using a flexible plan. 00:08:11.949 --> 00:08:15.488 So the plan that I help them to design is not like set in stone. 00:08:15.488 --> 00:08:17.699 It has to be, has to be flexible. 00:08:18.428 --> 00:08:22.059 Then once we've got those two components in place, we go into more of like. 00:08:22.244 --> 00:08:28.314 You could say that the deeper stuff and a lot of my work is around emotional well being. 00:08:28.314 --> 00:08:37.094 So the third part of kind of my, my six step process is going into emotional well being and emotional, intelligence, you could say. 00:08:37.094 --> 00:08:45.903 So we go into how, my clients can process their emotions, how they can handle them, how they can deal with them, how they can overcome setbacks and be more resilient. 00:08:45.913 --> 00:08:47.344 And on those kinds of things. 00:08:47.359 --> 00:08:52.609 So that's a huge part of that third step is emotional wellbeing, emotional

intelligence. 00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:55.969 And then the fourth part is where we get into like mindset type of stuff. 00:08:55.979 --> 00:09:08.139 So talking about a growth mindset, talking about how they again, can be more resilient, have more of a positive mindset, more of an optimistic outlook on life rather than a pessimistic one or a negative one. 00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:11.519 And then the fifth step in my process is kind of. 00:09:12.129 --> 00:09:17.198 Knitting it all together so that they can have lasting long-term success. 00:09:17.198 --> 00:09:21.879 So I, I call that part, ongoing progress or ongoing success. 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:30.339 So in that stage, we're looking at like how we can tie all of these things together and not just achieve a goal or an aspiration for the next six or 12 months. 00:09:30.339 --> 00:09:33.504 It's 18 months, it's three years, five years, seven years, 10 years down the line. 00:09:33.504 --> 00:09:40.114 Mm-hmm And then the final, part of that is, I would just call it again, like it's, it's almost like a maintenance part. 00:09:40.144 --> 00:09:50.614 So we're like, what are the habits, rituals, routines that they can continue to do day in, day out, that's going to lead them towards a fulfilling purposeful, successful life and all of that good jazz. 00:09:50.644 --> 00:09:51.624 So that's kind of. 00:09:52.099 --> 00:10:01.668 There's a lot more detail to it and there's a lot of like moving parts to each of those segments, but they're kind of the framework that I take my clients through so they can see their journey that they're on. 00:10:01.688 --> 00:10:06.599 And it also helps both of us to make sure that they're getting the results that they're after as well. 00:10:06.889 --> 00:10:09.589 And really the three pillars to my, my coaching. 00:10:10.568 --> 00:10:22.619 Our health wealth and relationships and we can go into those areas as well because all three of those kind of key pillars can be broken down into sub pillars or sub buckets as well, right? 00:10:22.729 --> 00:10:23.178 Oh my God. 00:10:23.178 --> 00:10:23.538 Okay. 00:10:23.538 --> 00:10:32.969 So you don't know this about me, but, I worked in the mental health field and I did behavioral management, with clients, for the longest time. 00:10:33.028 --> 00:10:33.658 And. 00:10:33.943 --> 00:10:38.894 What you've been talking about is literally it's a it's a more step process. 00:10:38.943 --> 00:10:42.604 And we had a simpler version was working with adults with disabilities. 00:10:43.004 --> 00:10:48.374 But yeah, that's basically kind of what we did to with helping them with their maladaptive behaviors. 00:10:48.394 --> 00:10:51.693 And we would call it like a needs and services plan. 00:10:52.004 --> 00:10:55.053 And so I completely understand where you're coming from. 00:10:55.053 --> 00:10:59.714 And I know that that system works because something similar and a simpler version. 00:10:59.844 --> 00:11:02.234 Was something that we used with our clients. 00:11:02.644 --> 00:11:13.053 So yeah, so I love that because like, it's like, as you were talking, I could be, I was like, just remembering like, Oh my God, like I did that something along the lines of that for the last like nine years. 00:11:13.563 --> 00:11:16.583 And I'm like, completely blown away that like. 00:11:17.283 --> 00:11:20.644 How like related it was and we had never talked about this before. 00:11:20.984 --> 00:11:22.224 So I love that. 00:11:23.543 --> 00:11:25.974 Yeah, there you go okay. 00:11:26.004 --> 00:11:36.033 So my question to you is With the the buckets that you were talking about the what what was it wealth? 00:11:37.163 --> 00:11:40.484 health and relationships wealth health and Relationships. 00:11:40.484 --> 00:11:45.509 Okay, so we on here talk about parenthood business and relationships. 00:11:45.828 --> 00:11:50.019 So I kind of want to dive into the relationship bucket a little bit with you. 00:11:50.448 --> 00:11:58.629 So are you talking like, like romantic relationships or like friendship relationships or just, you know, society relationships? 00:11:58.729 --> 00:12:01.109 We can break it down into four categories. 00:12:01.119 --> 00:12:06.489 So the first one I, help my clients with, or I talk about is your intimate relationships. 00:12:06.499 --> 00:12:08.428 So that's your wife, your husband, your partner. 00:12:09.288 --> 00:12:12.769 The second, breakdown or second area is your friends. 00:12:12.778 --> 00:12:16.528 So the friendships that you have, the friendship relationships. 00:12:16.818 --> 00:12:18.479 The third one is your family. 00:12:18.859 --> 00:12:23.188 Yeah, I suppose you could put family before friends, but the third one is your family and the relationships you have with your family. 00:12:23.474 --> 00:12:30.894 And then the last one, I like to call it your professional network, but some of my clients call it their colleagues or their staff, but I call it your professional network. 00:12:31.624 --> 00:12:38.234 So if we hone in on all of those four areas of relationships, we can strengthen those relationships. 00:12:38.234 --> 00:12:39.374 We can create better ones. 00:12:39.394 --> 00:12:42.043 We can create more loving, harmonious relationships. 00:12:42.323 --> 00:12:45.024 And I always believe that it's like the same as the health. 00:12:45.090 --> 00:12:55.839 I don't believe you can, if you want to live the best possible life and you want to live the most fulfilling life and the most purposeful life, I don't believe you can have like one without the other. 00:12:55.889 --> 00:12:59.328 They all kind of intersect and integrate with each other. 00:12:59.599 --> 00:13:07.899 And I always feel like if one's I say out of whack or out of sync, then it directly has an impact on the other. 00:13:07.948 --> 00:13:10.938 So if I relate that back to the health kind of book or the health pillar. 00:13:11.754 --> 00:13:12.923 There's four parts to health. 00:13:12.953

--> 00:13:17.594 There's physical health, mental health, emotional health, and spiritual health. 00:13:17.933 --> 00:13:23.703 And I always feel like if one's out of sync or out of whack, it has a direct knock on effect or impact on the other one. 00:13:23.703 --> 00:13:25.094 It's the same with your relationships. 00:13:25.094 --> 00:13:34.734 If you've like got a really strong family relationship, but then your professional network is all over the place, it's going to have an impact on the other three. 00:13:34.794 --> 00:13:37.886 I'm a data scientist, so I'm really good at like, sort of like the other three buckets or the other three sub pillars, you could say. 00:13:37.886 --> 00:13:40.754 So they're the ones that I focus on with my clients. 00:13:40.754 --> 00:13:42.134 Those four different areas. 00:13:42.634 --> 00:13:52.664 And what I do that I know a lot of people don't do and where a lot of people go wrong is I'm like a real big stickler and a real big geek. 00:13:52.664 --> 00:13:53.884 You could say for data. 00:13:53.924 --> 00:13:55.404 I like to have metrics on it. 00:13:55.875 --> 00:14:01.634 And a lot of these kinds of things we're talking about emotional wellbeing, mental well being, they're often very different. 00:14:02.235 --> 00:14:07.154 Difficult to put a, a measurement on or to put data or attach a metric to it. 00:14:07.434 --> 00:14:09.235 But there are ways that you can do it. 00:14:09.245 --> 00:14:24.095 So when I'm talking to my clients or I'm helping my clients or I'm coaching my clients, and we're talking about relationships, specifically, I might just take a snapshot of those four buckets and say, okay, score each one out of 10, like your, your professional network. 00:14:24.134 --> 00:14:25.445 Is it a seven, eight, nine? 00:14:25.445 --> 00:14:28.274 Is it one, your family, your intimate relationships, your friends? 00:14:28.284 --> 00:14:30.865 Where do you score them on a scale of 10, one to 10? 00:14:31.289 --> 00:14:38.039 And then if their intimate relationship is like a nine, but their friends is like a two, then we know which one we need to work on. 00:14:38.370 --> 00:14:40.299 And then we'll dive deeper into that. 00:14:40.330 --> 00:14:45.049 So if someone's like an eight, nine or 10, I kind of leave it alone because they're at a good level anyway. 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.350 But if they're like a two, three, four, anything below an eight. 00:14:48.629 --> 00:14:50.000 We know that it needs work on it. 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.740 And that goes for all the different areas that I help my clients with. 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.649 So that's a good thing for your listeners. 00:14:55.669 --> 00:15:02.210 They can just take different areas of their life and they can just honestly, honestly score themselves out of 10. 00:15:02.809 --> 00:15:07.440 And if there's a lower score, then you want to work on that area. 00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:21.210 But another caveat to this is that I'm very conscious when I'm helping a client that we only focus on one thing at a time because human beings cannot multitask and they're not good at taking on like loads of different things. 00:15:21.230 --> 00:15:22.429 And this is a big problem. 00:15:22.429 --> 00:15:33.220 Like a lot of my clients are entrepreneurs, business owners, they're high performing individuals within like a corporate business or corporate entity, and they are already spinning like Thank you. 00:15:33.514 --> 00:15:48.044 50 million plates and a lot of your listeners are parents and then there's even more plates when you're at, when you're at so many plates and a lot of my clients, I'm not a parent myself, but I think, not all of my clients, but nearly all of my clients are parents. 00:15:48.575 --> 00:15:55.054 And I, I get it because from working with them, I know how difficult it is to run a business or, be a high powered. 00:15:55.549 --> 00:15:59.159 corporate, career driven individual and have a family at the same time. 00:15:59.409 --> 00:16:03.490 So when I'm coaching clients, I'm conscious of that, that we're only focusing on one thing. 00:16:03.490 --> 00:16:09.720 We pick that thing, we work on it and I wouldn't say master it, but we work on it until there's significant improvement. 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.080 Then we move on to the next thing. 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:11.720 And that's why. 00:16:12.205 --> 00:16:14.845 You can't put a fixed timeline on the coaching journey. 00:16:14.845 --> 00:16:19.634 Like my clients commit to a minimum of six months, but they might be with me for six months. 00:16:19.644 --> 00:16:21.764 They might be with me for 12 months, two years, three years. 00:16:22.044 --> 00:16:27.794 It depends on that individual's kind of journey and what they need to hone in on and focus on and improve. 00:16:28.524 --> 00:16:28.995 Nice. 00:16:29.044 --> 00:16:38.235 So, with that, then I'm assuming then you and your clients will look at the three buckets and then decide which direction to go in first. 00:16:38.245 --> 00:16:39.215 Is that kind of what you were? 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:40.250 Exactly. 00:16:40.250 --> 00:16:40.460 Yeah. 00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:48.129 So one of the first things I spoke about the dream setting section and like one of the first section, what first parts of that dream setting section. 00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:52.950 Is we do some, it sounds really clinical, but we do something called a life audit. 00:16:52.980 --> 00:17:05.369 So we take all of those three big buckets and the sub buckets and we break them all down and we spend probably like the first or two sessions that we do together, coaching sessions together, doing a life audit. 00:17:05.380 --> 00:17:14.359 And then they do that as like their in air quotes action plan or homework outside of the coaching sessions as well to audit all of these areas of their life and audit them honestly. 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:14.440 So. 00:17:15.130 --> 00:17:23.430 There's all the different sections

and then there's a series of questions to ask themselves honestly and openly and then they just kind of like score themselves and audit their own life. 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:33.839 And then we know what we need to work on and this is, I've took this from the health and fitness industry because before when I was in that arena. 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.789 I kind of had two niches that I work within. 00:17:36.789 --> 00:17:46.250 One was, working with people with injuries because a lot of my training and my history in the fitness industry was with human movement and biomechanics and applied functional science. 00:17:46.259 --> 00:17:50.799 So a lot of my clients had injuries and it was injury prevention and injury rehabilitation. 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:57.900 But then as you know, like most of my bread and butter was weight loss clients, people wanting to lose weight, get in shape, get fit, get healthy. 00:17:57.950 --> 00:18:08.720 And it baffled me how many clients used to come to me and say like, I dunno, my weight, I dunno, my resting heart rate, I don't know my circumference measurements, I dunno my body fat. 00:18:08.930 --> 00:18:10.339 I don't know what I'm eating in a day. 00:18:10.339 --> 00:18:11.779 I dunno how much water I'm drinking. 00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:13.460 I'm like, we've gotta start with all this stuff. 00:18:13.460 --> 00:18:17.960 You've got to have data and you've got to have measurements because if you don't, you don't know where you start in. 00:18:18.230 --> 00:18:19.039 You don't know. 00:18:19.335 --> 00:18:22.345 How to track as you go and you don't know where you need to get to. 00:18:22.384 --> 00:18:30.184 So yeah, that life audit might sound a bit clinical, but my clients find it super valuable because it just gives them a snapshot of where they're at right now. 00:18:30.184 --> 00:18:35.825 And then they know what areas they need to work on and we know together what we need to work on and then we can go in that direction. 00:18:36.105 --> 00:18:40.065 So I always think if you don't have the data, you don't have the measurements to start with, you just kind of. 00:18:40.690 --> 00:18:43.160 Shooting fish in a barrel or going in blind, so to speak. 00:18:43.849 --> 00:18:48.099 No, no, I totally understand, with us and how I was, in the mental health field. 00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:49.329 We call that a baseline. 00:18:49.329 --> 00:18:53.789 So we do the first 30 days with a baseline of, with the client and evaluation. 00:18:54.200 --> 00:19:03.190 But yeah, you can be like, oh, I do this this many times, but you're not really sure then, you know, how will you know that you get better is exactly what you were saying. 00:19:03.569 --> 00:19:04.210 So I love that. 00:19:04.210 --> 00:19:11.579 I, I love how much like there are parallels and everything that you're talking about with stuff that I'm like familiar with already. 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:13.900 So, I like to give our listeners actionable steps. 00:19:13.910

--> 00:19:19.500 So with everything that you've been talking about, if somebody is like, really like, oh, my God. 00:19:19.730 --> 00:19:21.049 That sounds like really great. 00:19:21.470 --> 00:19:24.569 What's a good first step for them to take? 00:19:24.670 --> 00:19:31.559 And like, I'm assuming it's probably just to pick one of the buckets and like, be honest with themselves, right? 00:19:32.569 --> 00:19:33.539 Yeah, absolutely. 00:19:33.539 --> 00:19:45.500 I think the first, the first step I always believe is figuring out the why is, is I call it desire, like, because as human beings, we, we act on desires. 00:19:45.549 --> 00:19:52.549 Yeah, I believe that the starting point for everyone is always getting that understanding or that. 00:19:53.230 --> 00:20:03.089 I say crystal clear clarity on the why, or I like to call it desire because as human beings, we act upon our desires most of the time. 00:20:04.470 --> 00:20:10.779 So for example, if you want to have a pizza and you desire a pizza, you're going to go and eat a pizza because you've got the desire to want to eat pizza. 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:15.710 And it's the same for your dream life or for living a fulfilled life, living a purposeful life. 00:20:15.980 --> 00:20:22.039 You've got to know like, what's the why, what's the desire, like what, why do you want to do whatever it is you have. 00:20:22.865 --> 00:20:32.420 As a dream or as a vision for your future self and get in understanding and get into the deep Meaningful why of, of what that is. 00:20:32.420 --> 00:20:34.730 And why it is is is always the starting point. 00:20:35.140 --> 00:20:53.269 And this isn't easy, and I think this is why a lot of people don't live their dreams or they don't feel fulfilled or they feel stuck, is because they don't, they don't have that kind of desire and discipline to like just go within themselves and, and strip away the, the layers of the onion to figure out what they truly want. 00:20:53.275 --> 00:20:55.779 Mm-hmm Because if you, if we walked out like. 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:01.390 So wherever you are, if we walked out into the streets of Medellin and we just asked people like, what do you truly want? 00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:02.509 Like, what's your, what's your why? 00:21:02.509 --> 00:21:03.089 What's your dream? 00:21:03.089 --> 00:21:03.750 What do you really want from life? 00:21:04.779 --> 00:21:06.920 A lot of people would look at you like you're a crazy person. 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:11.240 Like they wouldn't know how to answer that because they've never taken the time to do it. 00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:16.140 They've never taken the time to like sit down with a piece of paper or with a laptop and just ask those deep questions. 00:21:16.964 --> 00:21:18.214 What do I truly want from life? 00:21:18.214 --> 00:21:19.144 What, why do I want it? 00:21:19.154 --> 00:21:20.335 What do I want to get out of life? 00:21:20.335 --> 00:21:21.134 What is my dream life? 00:21:21.134 --> 00:21:21.815 What does it look like? 00:21:21.815 --> 00:21:22.535 What does it feel like? 00:21:22.755 --> 00:21:24.285 So I think that's always a starting point. 00:21:24.285 --> 00:21:28.244 And that's where I start with all of my clients and don't be superficial, like. 00:21:28.690 --> 00:21:38.279 If you want to spend all your days on the beach, sipping cocktails out of a coconut while like watching your kids play, then that's your, that's your dream. 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:38.910 That's cool. 00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:48.140 And this is another big problem is we base our kind of dreams and goals and aspirations on societal expectations. 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:58.410 We were so programmed by society and by our parents and our grandparents and our teachers and our bosses and our friends and our peers and all that kind of, all those kinds of areas. 00:21:58.710 --> 00:21:59.130 And. 00:21:59.750 --> 00:22:23.724 You should, not you should, you need to do your very best to kind of silence that noise and follow your own path and follow your own dreams and also learn who you truly are and like be your most authentic self because there's no one else like Whitney, there's no one else like Ali, we're unique, we're a gift from a higher power and we've been gifted a life and it's a, it's a blessing and a miracle that we're here. 00:22:23.994 --> 00:22:27.035 And we should treat our life like that, but not enough people do. 00:22:27.035 --> 00:22:34.914 So I think I've gone about it in a long winded way, but the answer to your question is starting with the why and the what, like, what is it that you want? 00:22:34.954 --> 00:22:35.654 Why do you want that? 00:22:36.184 --> 00:22:39.615 And go into as much detail, as much rich detail as possible. 00:22:39.914 --> 00:22:42.220 And then you can start to make the steps to. 00:22:42.529 --> 00:22:46.339 To make that dream a reality or, or, or get that why that you're after. 00:22:46.846 --> 00:22:54.727 thing to add on is when you do this, you might realize, and often people realize that their dream is a lot closer than they thought. 00:22:55.176 --> 00:22:58.416 It's like, it's like a light bulb or a mind explosion moment. 00:22:58.616 --> 00:23:03.116 It's like, actually what my dream is, it's not actually that far away. 00:23:03.126 --> 00:23:04.126 And this happened to me. 00:23:04.432 --> 00:23:05.811 It was like, I own a gym. 00:23:05.811 --> 00:23:06.142 Yes. 00:23:06.172 --> 00:23:08.051 I've got 400 and whatever members. 00:23:08.092 --> 00:23:08.501 Yes. 00:23:08.701 --> 00:23:11.912 There's 20 odd people doing private training. 00:23:11.912 --> 00:23:12.412 Yes. 00:23:12.781 --> 00:23:19.442 But it's not that difficult to wrap up my gym, book a plane ticket to wherever I want to go. 00:23:20.162 --> 00:23:22.471 I've got the knowledge and expertise of how to run a business. 00:23:22.471 --> 00:23:26.102 And I've got like people that I could potentially start my coaching business with. 00:23:26.551

--> 00:23:28.112 It's not that difficult to do. 00:23:28.632 --> 00:23:30.112 My dream isn't that far away. 00:23:30.332 --> 00:23:31.721 And that's why I was able to. 00:23:32.277 --> 00:23:57.227 Achieve my dream in less time than I kind of set for myself because it wasn't as far away as I thought and this often happens with my clients as well, what they, there's a disconnect between what they, what they think they want, but what they actually want in their heart and what they actually want in their heart isn't always that far away and why is, why is there this disconnect and why are they not living their dreams already? 00:23:57.376 --> 00:24:00.586 It all boils down to really to limiting beliefs. 00:24:00.662 --> 00:24:14.092 So, twofold answer, get clarity on like what your dream is and the what and the why, and then, identify and begin to eliminate your limiting beliefs because your limiting beliefs will cripple you. 00:24:14.342 --> 00:24:35.656 And if people don't know what limiting beliefs are, that you can again, put them into like categories, but like big ones of fear, self sabotage, perfectionism, procrastination, these kind of, these are all like, symptoms of limiting beliefs and limiting beliefs are the biggest thing that hold people back from living the life that they truly want and they truly desire. 00:24:37.277 --> 00:24:38.106 I love that. 00:24:38.176 --> 00:24:42.777 My friend, Erica, she just wrote a book and I'm reading it right now. 00:24:42.777 --> 00:24:46.227 So she calls the limiting beliefs, sticky floors. 00:24:46.257 --> 00:24:49.626 And I think that it's a, it's a fun way. 00:24:49.821 --> 00:24:55.122 To kind of introduce this topic to people because everyone knows what like a sticky floor is, you know what I'm talking about? 00:24:55.551 --> 00:24:58.102 And so that yeah, that's completely what you're saying. 00:24:58.102 --> 00:25:05.402 Like sometimes people let themselves, you know, whether it's what what's that word like, imposter syndrome? 00:25:05.771 --> 00:25:54.037 Like they don't think they like they earn it or they deserve it and i'm like no you got this and and so I I love that you talked about that too because I feel like The whole, like, limited beliefs is really what holds a lot of people back, especially, like, people who, I'm, like, talking to, like, my mom friends that I have, like, oh, like, I can't do that because I have to, like, do this, or, like, I'm too busy taking care of the kids, or, you know, that kind of thing, so, and I'm just, like, well, You know, you can have it, you know, you can't do everything all the time for everyone, like, you have to, you know, find a more, I hate using the word balance, I like flow, like a more work life flow, because I don't, like, you hate the word balance, or why do you not like the word balance? 00:25:54.997 --> 00:26:03.946 Just because, like, The way that I think of it is like, I'm never going to be 50 50 all the time between work and life. 00:26:04.257 --> 00:26:15.852 Some days, like, if it's my kid's birthday, it's 100 percent family life, you know, that day if it's like, the biggest Meeting with a sponsor, it's going to be work life most of that day. 00:26:15.852 --> 00:26:16.192 Right. 00:26:16.511 --> 00:26:20.291 So then I'm like people, I think people think of balance as being 50, 50. 00:26:20.402 --> 00:26:24.362 And then, so I'm just like, no, like some days it's going to ebb one way. 00:26:24.392 --> 00:26:26.041 And some days it's going to flow the other way. 00:26:26.332 --> 00:26:30.922 And so like, I like the word flow more, it feels more flexible. 00:26:30.961 --> 00:26:36.481 And that's why I personally like the, I personally like flow more than balance. 00:26:37.257 --> 00:26:37.957 It's not a scale. 00:26:38.866 --> 00:26:40.017 I like, I like both of them. 00:26:40.037 --> 00:26:50.626 I often say that balance is a heavily overused word, but it's severely underutilized. 00:26:50.737 --> 00:26:52.547 So people talk about balance all the time. 00:26:52.547 --> 00:26:55.166 They say balance, but they don't, they don't utilize it. 00:26:55.166 --> 00:27:05.707 They don't live in a balance and a harmonious or a flow or an equilibrium kind of state that there, that is a, that's another big, we spoke about limiting beliefs, but another big problem, especially for. 00:27:06.477 --> 00:27:15.817 Business owners, for parents, for entrepreneurs, for, for everyone really is that they live in these worlds of extremes. 00:27:16.247 --> 00:27:23.896 So it's like all one way or all the other, and there's no, there's no flow as you call it, or no balance as I call it, there's no middle ground. 00:27:23.896 --> 00:27:29.027 And I always feel like the middle, as, as like in Buddhism, they say the middle path is the best path. 00:27:29.057 --> 00:27:30.987 It's like the middle way, that balance. 00:27:31.287 --> 00:27:35.146 If you think about the yin and the yang symbol, being in the middle of that and having the balance of the both. 00:27:35.912 --> 00:27:37.122 Is the best place to be. 00:27:37.122 --> 00:27:38.521 And it's where the most magic happens. 00:27:38.521 --> 00:27:43.132 And it's where the most fulfillment comes from, but so many people live in these extreme worlds. 00:27:43.132 --> 00:27:53.622 And I find that a lot with my clients, a lot of my clients, when they start the journey with me, they're all or nothing people they're like all in on everything, or they're just like doing like the bare minimum, they're doing nothing. 00:27:53.652 --> 00:28:03.932 And I think you need to strike that flow as you call it, or that balance to, to, to feel more fulfilled and to feel more joy and happiness and freedom and harmony and all of those kinds of higher state. 00:28:04.551 --> 00:28:11.041 Emotions, you need to, you need to have that balance and you, you kind of nailed it and you alluded to it. 00:28:11.041 --> 00:28:13.481 It's like, that's another misconception.

00:28:13.481 --> 00:28:17.132 People think balance is 50, 50, but it could be 90, 10, it could be eight to 20. 00:28:17.547 --> 00:28:24.156 It could be 60 40 and that's the same with a relationship and you, you could be like operating at 20%. 00:28:24.217 --> 00:28:28.027 If your husband's operating at 80%, you're balanced and you're helping each other out. 00:28:28.047 --> 00:28:42.747 And, and so, yeah, you, it's not always 50 50, but getting yourself towards a more balanced way of life, I think is one of the keys to fulfillment and also to presence because so many people in the modern world, they're not present. 00:28:42.836 --> 00:28:43.406 They're like. 00:28:43.777 --> 00:29:13.537 And this is where all those, those problems come from, as you know, from working in mental health, like anxiety, worry, fear, depression, all of these kind of quote unquote negative states, they come from, from not being present and not being balanced because they're, they're either regretful about things that have happened in the past that they can't change, or they're too busy worrying or anxious about the future, creating a story that, as we know, probably will never even happen. 00:29:14.021 --> 00:29:14.412 Right. 00:29:14.412 --> 00:29:19.642 So you need to be aware that you're, you're going to have loads of thoughts. 00:29:19.642 --> 00:29:22.231 I think we have 50 to 60, 000 thoughts or something crazy. 00:29:22.261 --> 00:29:23.301 That's a ridiculous amount. 00:29:23.301 --> 00:29:23.642 That's insane. 00:29:23.811 --> 00:29:24.902 And it's crazy. 00:29:24.971 --> 00:29:27.942 But then I also read recently that they've kind of. 00:29:29.027 --> 00:29:35.987 There's been studies done to show that like a high percentage of them, I think it's like 60%, it's really high 60 or 65 percent and negative thoughts. 00:29:36.166 --> 00:29:43.356 So you're having like 50, 000 thoughts and like most of them are like negative thoughts because as human beings, we're wired up more towards a negativity bias. 00:29:43.646 --> 00:29:49.777 And the reason for that is, is because we're kind of wired up to survive, like our primary function in life is to survive and not die. 00:29:50.247 --> 00:30:13.402 So, You have to do your very best to, it starts off with controlling your thoughts, no, it starts off with being aware of them, like, yes, okay, I've got this thought going on in my head and I'm thinking this certain thing, but then beginning to control your thoughts, and then you can get to like, I wouldn't say it's the ultimate level, but you can get to a level where you begin to realize that you're not your thoughts. 00:30:13.402 --> 00:30:15.682 Your thoughts are just a thing and you aren't actually there. 00:30:15.852 --> 00:30:17.432 That's not who Ali is. 00:30:17.461 --> 00:30:18.481 That's not who Whitney is. 00:30:18.491 --> 00:30:19.471 That's not who your listeners are. 00:30:19.481 --> 00:30:26.882 You're not your thoughts, but so many people, they get attached

onto their thoughts and they let their thinking rule their life. 00:30:26.942 --> 00:30:31.781 And that's why a lot of the time with my clients, I say like, go back to your heart. 00:30:31.781 --> 00:30:33.821 Like I try and bring them into their heart because. 00:30:34.231 --> 00:30:35.801 The heart is way more powerful. 00:30:35.811 --> 00:30:38.142 And this isn't like airy fairy spirituality stuff. 00:30:38.142 --> 00:30:39.132 This is science as well. 00:30:39.132 --> 00:30:43.082 Your heart is way more powerful than your brain, like your heart waves. 00:30:43.082 --> 00:30:49.061 I think they can go like, uh, 10 to 15 feet and your brain waves only go like five to eight feet or something like that. 00:30:49.061 --> 00:30:50.751 I don't, people need to fact check me on that. 00:30:50.821 --> 00:30:54.892 Don't take what I say, but it's around those kinds of kind of measurements. 00:30:54.991 --> 00:31:00.031 So like your heart is, is like powerful and we kind of ignore our heart and we, we don't trust it. 00:31:00.761 --> 00:31:23.451 And I'm not saying forget your mind and not use your mind because your mind is super powerful and you should use it and you should work on cultivating a growth mindset, but also like don't let those negative thoughts consume you because the negative thoughts and those limiting beliefs and that self doubt and kind of that monkey mind that are going to derail you from, from again, living a purposeful, fulfilling, fulfilling life. 00:31:23.932 --> 00:31:25.172 Life and living your dreams. 00:31:26.071 --> 00:31:26.451 Awesome. 00:31:26.592 --> 00:31:28.541 Yeah, 100%. 00:31:28.551 --> 00:31:30.801 Like, you basically said it all. 00:31:30.811 --> 00:31:47.412 Like, I, I love this conversation that we're having because I know That one, everything that you're saying in the, in the like processes, are so similar to something I've used that I've seen results on that side. 00:31:47.442 --> 00:31:50.821 So I know that your clients must be loving you, you know? 00:31:51.652 --> 00:31:57.142 And also like, I feel like you could totally write a book about this too, you know? 00:31:57.241 --> 00:31:59.882 Yeah, well, it's on the agenda amongst other things. 00:31:59.981 --> 00:32:03.132 I'd love to, I used to have a podcast when I had my gym. 00:32:03.696 --> 00:32:09.586 And I'd love to like, get back to podcasting again and, and creating a YouTube and writing a book. 00:32:09.586 --> 00:32:11.277 So they're, they're in the pipeline. 00:32:11.277 --> 00:32:15.007 But as I said earlier, like focusing on one or one, maybe 1. 00:32:15.446 --> 00:32:18.207 5 things at a time and not do too much. 00:32:18.426 --> 00:32:19.207 Not every day. 00:32:19.946 --> 00:32:20.567 Absolutely. 00:32:20.567 --> 00:32:22.166 It could all, it could go into a book. 00:32:22.166 --> 00:32:25.757 And I also, we've not really touched much on my story, but I often think like. 00:32:26.207 --> 00:32:36.336 My story could probably make a good book as

well, especially like the gym years, because my wife and I running that business went through so many kind of ups and downs and challenges and setbacks. 00:32:36.336 --> 00:32:47.926 And you could say like traumatic moments, but I always say, and we always say me and my wife, we wouldn't have changed those five and a half years for the world because they taught us so much. 00:32:48.436 --> 00:32:58.446 about business and people, but more importantly, they taught us so much about ourselves and it kind of galvanized mine and Sarah's relationship and made us, super resilient. 00:32:58.457 --> 00:33:02.076 We often say, like, you'll struggle to meet two people that are more resilient than us. 00:33:02.076 --> 00:33:29.741 And I think a lot of that resilience was put to the test last year as well because, in July last year we were caught up in Hurricane Beryl, on the island of Karaku, yeah, so Karaku is an island that belongs to Grenada, and we were there at the time in July, and it was a record breaking Category 4 hurricane, and the house that we were in, the roof was ripped off, and we were like, and we were In the bathroom, pressed against the door with like stuff flying everywhere. 00:33:29.741 --> 00:33:33.372 And it was just like, it was catastrophic and it was really traumatizing. 00:33:33.372 --> 00:33:51.382 And it was like a, it was like such a harrowing kind of moment for both of our lives, but after, and like, once we kind of got through the aftermath of it, we both said like all the stuff we've been through, but also all the work that we've done on ourselves had almost prepared us for that moment because we had the faith that we were going to survive and everything was going to be all right. 00:33:51.571 --> 00:33:53.402 We kept positive, even though it was like. 00:33:53.711 --> 00:33:56.291 The scariest thing I've ever been through or we've ever been through. 00:33:56.531 --> 00:34:01.092 And then we came out of the other side and we live to tell the tale and it's made us stronger again. 00:34:01.092 --> 00:34:05.471 So I think a lot of people, this is another kind of thing to add in. 00:34:05.471 --> 00:34:15.802 A lot of people, they're scared to like take risk or scared to go after their dreams or scared to make changes because they're worried of like the, what if, or like, what if it doesn't work out? 00:34:15.802 --> 00:34:16.492 What if it fails? 00:34:16.492 --> 00:34:17.391 What if I succeed? 00:34:17.402 --> 00:34:21.461 Like there's so many kind of different stories and narratives that they play over in their head. 00:34:21.942 --> 00:34:23.612 But you always. 00:34:24.021 --> 00:34:28.532 You always learn from these kind of making changes and stepping out of your comfort zone. 00:34:28.532 --> 00:34:39.052 And then when the bad stuff happens to you, your challenges, and when you're at rock bottom or close to rock bottom, that to me is like when the most opportunities are for growth. 00:34:39.271 --> 00:34:41.282 And when you

experience something like. 00:34:41.601 --> 00:35:06.501 Your business failing or getting caught up in a hurricane or you end in a long term relationship or you start in a new business Or someone close to you passes away This is when you have the most opportunity to take the lessons and grow and I truly believe that that's We, I often speak about purpose, but I truly believe that that's what people's purposes are when, from the moment they're born into this world to the moment they live, leave. 00:35:06.922 --> 00:35:21.211 I truly believe that purpose is to grow every single day and learn about themselves so that they can, again, without sounding airy fairy, exit the world, a better version or not a version that I don't like that word, a better human being than when they came in. 00:35:22.831 --> 00:35:23.262 I love that. 00:35:23.262 --> 00:35:24.282 That's what I truly believe. 00:35:24.742 --> 00:35:37.402 Yeah, I mean, I was, I was literally about to ask you what your most chaotic moment is and what you learned from it, but I think, like, surviving a hurricane is probably the most chaotic story we've heard so far on the podcast. 00:35:37.601 --> 00:35:39.257 Yeah, that's up there. 00:35:39.257 --> 00:35:47.193 That and, when we started the business, I, had a, the business partner that I started the gym with turned out to be a con man. 00:35:47.382 --> 00:35:49.322 He was a legitimate con man. 00:35:49.322 --> 00:35:55.612 Like, you know, you see these documentaries on Netflix, like where these women are getting swindled by con men and stuff. 00:35:55.822 --> 00:35:58.742 And I can, and people often say like, how could they fall for that? 00:35:58.753 --> 00:36:00.077 How can they get done by that? 00:36:00.987 --> 00:36:01.847 I got done by it. 00:36:01.907 --> 00:36:03.217 Me and my wife got done by it. 00:36:03.257 --> 00:36:04.748 Like a legitimate con man. 00:36:04.987 --> 00:36:11.887 We started the business together and he, before the business had even really got started, he almost ran it into the ground financially. 00:36:12.188 --> 00:36:24.027 He made so many bad decisions and ultimately in the first year, this was 2017, the first year of the business, we had to seek legal action to kind of like get him out of the business. 00:36:24.077 --> 00:36:42.748 And by the end of 2017, we we'd managed to like Part ways with him and then me and my wife for the, for 2018, 19, 2021, and then, nine months of 2022, we, we ran the business together and then the back end of 2018, we took on a, like a silent investor business partner. 00:36:43.137 --> 00:36:51.597 So, yeah, so the hurricane and having a con man as a business partner, probably like the two most chaotic things in the last, I'd say the last decade of my life. 00:36:52.242 --> 00:36:56.342 Oh my god, you are definitely winning the like the most chaotic moment stories. 00:36:56.862 --> 00:36:58.802 That's insane. 00:36:59.112 --> 00:37:05.262 I mean, I'm glad that you're no longer in that situation, but that's yeah, wow, that's insane. 00:37:05.262 --> 00:37:06.702 Yeah, it is crazy. 00:37:06.983 --> 00:37:15.643 But also, I look at these, I think everyone has these moments that you can label them or call them whatever you want. 00:37:15.643 --> 00:37:30.663 Like one of Once, one person whose podcast I went on a couple of times before I left the UK, he calls them sledgehammer moments and some people call them domino moments or, or like, you can call them life changing moments or character development, development moments, whatever you want to label them. 00:37:30.902 --> 00:37:34.632 But if you look at your life and you take a snapshot of your life, we all have them. 00:37:34.722 --> 00:37:36.052 I'm going to be 38 this year. 00:37:36.072 --> 00:37:46.282 So if I look back at the 38 years of my life, I'll probably have like, Between five and eight, like really critical sledgehammer moments or domino moments where I can say, okay, that was a huge moment in my life. 00:37:46.282 --> 00:37:50.012 Some good, some bad, or some amazing, some challenging. 00:37:50.643 --> 00:38:02.072 But they're kind of like the significant moments in my life and we can all have these, but it's how we like put them into context and how we use them to grow and be a better human being. 00:38:02.072 --> 00:38:14.443 And I've always, especially for the last 10 years, because my personal growth journey really properly started in 2015 and that's a whole nother story on its own, but I went to Sedona, probably not far from you, Sedona in Arizona. 00:38:14.443 --> 00:38:14.791 Yeah. 00:38:14.791 --> 00:38:16.186 I went to Sedona. 00:38:16.186 --> 00:38:18.844 And, I had like a life changing experience in Sedona. 00:38:18.894 --> 00:38:21.215 I guess you could only label it as a spiritual awakening. 00:38:21.425 --> 00:38:29.065 And from that day on, like my personal growth journey just kind of accelerated and my whole life, I would say just like went on an upwards trajectory. 00:38:29.534 --> 00:38:37.994 And we all have these moments and it's how we, how we use them to our, to our benefit and use them to grow and become better. 00:38:38.005 --> 00:38:46.815 So I never see these for a lot of people, if you said hurricane to them or the business almost failing or having a con man as a business partner. 00:38:47.690 --> 00:38:50.559 These kinds of things, they'd be like, Oh my God, that's the worst thing that could happen. 00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.809 But I look back at them and I'm grateful for them. 00:38:53.050 --> 00:38:57.409 I'm grateful that they happened because they've made me a better Ali, they've made me a better human being. 00:38:57.989 --> 00:39:03.650 And this is how we should look at any kind of setbacks, challenges, traumatic moments in our life. 00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:15.639 We, we often categorize them or, or label them as, as like really negative moments, but don't be grateful for them and take the lessons from them. 00:39:15.639 -->

00:39:16.949 And the past. 00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:20.639 I would say the past is always your teacher or your guide. 00:39:20.900 --> 00:39:22.119 It should never be your master. 00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:23.650 Your past is not your master. 00:39:23.730 --> 00:39:24.920 It's your teacher or your guide. 00:39:25.150 --> 00:39:26.579 Let it guide you and teach you. 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:30.500 Be present and then still have eyes on the, on the future. 00:39:30.530 --> 00:39:34.449 So I'm all for being present, but I still have my own vision. 00:39:34.764 --> 00:39:36.235 I still dream. 00:39:36.344 --> 00:39:39.494 I still have the same kind of thing with my clients. 00:39:39.494 --> 00:39:43.545 I help them to visualize, I help them to create a three, five, seven, 10 year vision for the future. 00:39:43.545 --> 00:39:48.545 And I have the same for myself, but I don't like, I don't get fixated on the vision or the end goal. 00:39:48.554 --> 00:39:53.574 And I don't get fixated on the quote unquote bad stuff that's happened to me in the past. 00:39:53.574 --> 00:39:58.135 I'd try and remain present while having that vision and letting my past. 00:39:58.570 --> 00:40:00.780 Be my, be my guide and be my teacher. 00:40:00.780 --> 00:40:02.748 Awesome. 00:40:03.409 --> 00:40:03.829 Okay. 00:40:04.030 --> 00:40:13.349 So before we start wrapping up, is there any kind of like last minute messages you want to send out to our listeners if they're listening to this and all this is resonating with them? 00:40:14.940 --> 00:40:25.210 Yeah, I think we can, it would be a boring podcast if we just left it as, and just said this one thing, but we can categorize pretty much everything that I've said today into one thing. 00:40:25.420 --> 00:40:28.840 And it ultimately boils down to working on yourself first. 00:40:30.550 --> 00:40:31.679 taking care of yourself first. 00:40:32.030 --> 00:40:33.420 And this is again, a big problem. 00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:43.400 And it's a problem that I had for 27, 28 years of my life is that I'd often put other people before myself. 00:40:44.304 --> 00:40:48.074 And it became a detriment to my own self. 00:40:48.125 --> 00:40:52.414 It became a detriment to my own physical, mental, emotional, spiritual well being. 00:40:52.894 --> 00:41:03.635 And I think one of the biggest takeaways that I got from that kind of awakening that I had in Sedona was that I needed to take care of myself and put myself first because this is going to be the best way to grow. 00:41:04.005 --> 00:41:09.335 And since 2016, I've said the same affirmation to myself every single day. 00:41:09.565 --> 00:41:14.344 And it's that before I can, so the actual full affirmation is. 00:41:15.110 --> 00:41:21.139 Right now, I'm so happy and grateful that before I can support others, I must learn how to nurture myself. 00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:27.369 Right now, I'm so happy and grateful that before I can support others, I must learn how to nurture myself. 00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:43.230 So, that's all about putting myself first and looking after myself first, because if you do that as an individual, as a parent, as a business owner, as an employee, as whatever, if you do that, then you are going to be able to help and serve others as the best. 00:41:43.690 --> 00:41:49.449 best you as the truest you as the most authentic you and you're going to be able to navigate. 00:41:49.900 --> 00:41:51.840 Life with a lot more grace and ease. 00:41:51.849 --> 00:42:01.300 So ultimately my kind of final parting message is to put yourself first and look after yourself first, and then you can live the best life possible. 00:42:01.340 --> 00:42:11.199 And when I say that to people, I often get the rebuttal that all that's selfish, but it's not, it's selfless putting yourself first is the most selfless thing you can ever do in your life. 00:42:12.934 --> 00:42:13.445 I love that. 00:42:14.164 --> 00:42:28.605 I have like a little funny things in my head when you were saying that, like one, I loved everything that you're saying, but in the back of my head, like my mom joke side is like, Oh, that's why they say, put your air mask on you before your children and airplanes, you know? 00:42:29.784 --> 00:42:30.394 Exactly. 00:42:30.394 --> 00:42:31.123 Exactly. 00:42:31.125 --> 00:42:31.465 That's it. 00:42:31.465 --> 00:42:32.445 That's that you've nailed it. 00:42:32.445 --> 00:42:32.635 Yeah. 00:42:32.635 --> 00:42:34.684 And it's like, that's exactly it. 00:42:34.695 --> 00:42:38.574 You put your mask on first and you do it to someone else because if you're dead. 00:42:38.965 --> 00:42:45.775 Or if you're not operating at your best level, how the hell can you expect to serve and help people? 00:42:45.784 --> 00:42:52.204 And that, that goes for everyone that goes for you, your husband, your partner, your wife, whatever it goes for your kids. 00:42:53.005 --> 00:42:53.534 Awesome. 00:42:53.565 --> 00:42:53.864 Okay. 00:42:53.864 --> 00:42:57.675 So last question is how can our listeners connect with you? 00:42:58.784 --> 00:42:59.565 Yeah, easy. 00:42:59.644 --> 00:43:05.054 The best way to find me on all social media platforms is Ali West coach. 00:43:05.304 --> 00:43:07.994 And I think on Tik TOK, it might be coach Ali West. 00:43:07.994 --> 00:43:15.824 So if you search Ali West coach on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and then if you search coach Ali West on Tik TOK, you'll find me. 00:43:17.135 --> 00:43:21.764 Every single day to not so much to Facebook, but to Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn. 00:43:22.074 --> 00:43:34.775 I post every single day on there and people can also subscribe to my newsletter people can just send me a direct message on any of those platforms and I'll send them the link to join my newsletter. 00:43:34.775 --> 00:43:36.804 And I send out three. 00:43:37.094 --> 00:43:38.684 Emails per week. 00:43:38.735 --> 00:43:48.875 And they're just like packed full of kind of tips, hacks, information, what's going on in my life, how you can live a more purposeful and fulfilling life and all that kind of stuff that we've spoken about today. 00:43:48.905 --> 00:43:53.224 So, yeah, but if it's just for connecting Ali West coach on all platforms. 00:43:54.085 --> 00:43:54.335 Awesome. 00:43:54.335 --> 00:44:00.344 Yeah, I will put all the links down in the show notes, for all your social medias so yeah, we'll add that all in. 00:44:00.405 --> 00:44:00.764 Amazing. 00:44:01.284 --> 00:44:02.315 Thank you so much. 00:44:02.525 --> 00:44:04.925 Thank you so much for coming on and having this conversation. 00:44:04.925 --> 00:44:05.375 Oh, you're welcome. 00:44:06.684 --> 00:44:07.065 You're welcome. 00:44:07.284 --> 00:44:07.994 I appreciate it. 00:44:09.264 --> 00:44:11.925 That's a wrap on another episode of Caffeinated Chaos. 00:44:12.105 --> 00:44:19.945 I hope you're leaving with a little more clarity, a lot more inspiration, and maybe even an extra shot of motivation. 00:44:20.315 --> 00:44:28.715 If you loved today's episode, don't forget to follow us, leave a review, and share it with a friend who could use just a little chaos and caffeine in their life. 00:44:29.155 --> 00:44:34.485 Until next time, keep embracing the mess, chase your dreams, and make magic happen. 00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:37.570 One caffeinated, chaotic moment at a time. 00:44:38.059 --> 00:44:39.559 I will see you all soon. 00:44:40.019 --> 00:44:40.630 Bye now.
