Do you feel constantly overwhelmed by noise, notifications, and never-ending to-do lists? You're not alone in this overstimulated world.

Ever notice how a peanut butter smudge on the table or that plant you've been meaning to hang for weeks becomes all you can see? Our modern environment bombards us with stimuli that make it nearly impossible to enjoy the present moment. We're scrolling, consuming, and rushing through life without pausing to breathe.

The solution doesn't require hours of elaborate self-care. Even five minutes in your favourite spot with a hot cup of coffee can completely shift your day's trajectory. Having a designated space—whether it's a corner of your couch or a specific chair—creates a sanctuary where you can reconnect with yourself amidst the chaos.

What if you chose to be the "weird" person who's actually happy in a world that normalizes stress? What if, for just fifteen minutes a day, you decided to raise your vibration and be a light in this chaotic world?

Connect with me and share how you're finding peace in the noise. Your small, consistent actions today will create a dramatically different life in a year—one peaceful moment at a time.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to Selfish Confidence, a place where we can connect and be real about how hard it is to be your damn self. My name is Jess and my goal is to help you build confidence and belief in yourself to live any life path you want, even if it's unconventional. It's time to flip off societal pressures and connect with women who've also felt on the outside by their life choices. We're here to encourage you to grab the mic and speak your truth. I know it can be scary, but we're in this together. Let's get started. Hello, hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Selfish Confidence Podcast. It's Jess here and I am just taking a little peaceful moment, a little peaceful moment to hang out with you to record this podcast episode. It's so interesting how everything has shifted since having a little baby and also just like being in this moment and spending time with you is like such a huge highlight in that and I know I'm just sitting here essentially talking to a wall I don't even know who was listening to this on the other side, so if you're listening, send me a message so I know that there's someone there. But really, like I always sit down and feel like we're two sisters hanging out sipping some coffee in a coffee shop and just like relaxing or hanging out on my couch and just like being in the moment and if you've ever been to one of my retreats or events or anything like, I try to bring that energy and that feeling into everything, because we're just a couple of best gal friends, like hanging out and doing life together and figuring things out, because I don't have it figured out, you don't have it figured out. There's a good chance. If you're here, if you haven't figured out, I don't think you're listening to this podcast. So welcome, welcome to this journey of us figuring things out together, and I've been thinking about this a lot this week.

Speaker 1:

So this week we typically take my husband and I we take our vacation the first week of September, pretty much like every year since we got married, because we got married on September 5th and we've always just incorporated a trip or some time off together around that time. So this week was that week. We just celebrated 10 years married this week which blows my mind that it's been 10 years and our first wedding anniversary as like a family of three, which I am still trying to process and figure things out, but through this week of just like having time. There's always that battle between getting things done. We have a long list of to-dos that we really wanted to do this week and here we are, coming close to the end of the week and most of those to-dos are not done, but we did get a lot of really good quality family time together and it's also trying to remember what's most important in this season. And that's also trying to remember what's most important in this season and that's what I want to talk to you about today, like overstimulation, overconsumption of things, and remembering who you are, the truth of who you are and also the truth of what you want. Right?

Speaker 1:

Because I can get so caught up today, even as I was coming down, I knew I had just enough time to come down here to record this podcast episode and the kitchen's a mess and those chores that we said we wanted to do. They're not done. Like we have a plant that has been needing to be hung for like weeks. We have a plant that also needs to be planted for weeks, and it's like these small little things that just start to add up and they become the only things. You see, maybe you feel that too, where you like.

Speaker 1:

Look at your house and you're just like I can only see the mess. I can only see that peanut butter smudge on the table over there. I can only see that I got stains all over my shirt. I can only see the chaos. I can't see that I got to spend time with my family or I can't see that you know, we had a really delicious meal together and that's why there's a peanut butter smudge in the middle of the table, like we can't always see the positive to it. And I think that's just part of the world that we live in. The world we live in with this overconsumption of us always watching TV, right, having TV on in the background or always, you know, having noise. If you have kids, like the toys that play noise, there's always noise on and we're scrolling all the time. And this is not me attacking you. This is essentially me telling you what's going on in my life, right, and that's why we're in this together and it's just been such an interesting process, especially since having a kid as someone who loves their alone time.

Speaker 1:

I'm an introvert. You might not believe it. Nobody ever believes me when I say that but I need my time to recharge and to refuel. In order for me to come and create this podcast, in order for me to do events like, I need alone time, and I just don't get a whole lot of it now that I have a baby, which is fine, thankfully from the human design world, he's a projector too, and if you don't know what that means, we both have a baby, which is fine, thankfully from the human design world, he's a projector too, and if you don't know what that means, we both have a little bit more of a relaxed energy when we're together, so that makes a really big difference, praise the Lord. I wanted a projector and I got it, so maybe we should just stop by Warhead and only have one.

Speaker 1:

My husband, on the other hand, who is a manifesting generator, is like another projector. They're so slow, anyways, but it really is this, just like this world that we live in, that there's just so much going on all the time. Even think about it when you're out driving and you're either listening to the radio or even to like Spotify or something, there's ads, there's things that pop up. There's like always something to catch your attention, to distract you from the path that you're going on, to distract you from the path that you're going on to distract you from where you want to go. And I've just, I think, been noticing it more and more because I have such limited amounts of time and we all do. We all have limited amount of time here, limited amount of time to get our work done, to get to our goals, to work on ourselves, to give us that self-care. And in this world of overstimulation and overconsumption, I can even see it more in people when they're just a little more nitpicky not even nitpicky what's the word Snippety? They can't take a breath, it's instantly like.

Speaker 1:

And just this morning, knowing I have so much on my plate and things to do, I noticed it more too and I wanted to just shift that today, shift it with you, maybe in real time. You and I are going to shift that energy today so that we can get out of this energy of just like I have to do these things. There's too much on my plate, everything sucks to. Hey, I have things I have to do, but I can also enjoy the moment. I can also find joy today, and I can even prioritize joy, because I don't know about you when I shift things and I focus on those moments of happiness and those moments of joy, everything else feels a little less heavy. It actually feels really manageable when I take the time for me first, and I am not talking about hours and hours and hours.

Speaker 1:

Maybe you would listen to some of my old podcast episodes and be like, oh Jess, silly girl, she doesn't have any kids, she doesn't know what's up. You know, she doesn't even have a full-time job, she is an entrepreneur, she can do what she wants, and I can even look back and be like, old Jess, what a gal. Now, I'm really limited on on that time. So I'm not talking about hours of self-care, I'm talking about five minutes, 15 minutes, doing something for you that is going to kick start your energy, to feel better about tackling all of the dishes in the kitchen. Okay, and I'm going to share with you a couple of things that works really well for me and actually a couple things that I did this morning. Before even coming on this podcast episode to hang out with you, I needed to check my energy first, right, and that actually does help for me. Having a space my desk is now in our guest room, which is fine. We had to turn my office into the baby room and I've actually actually found that this space has become like one of those quiet, safe spaces for me where I can just close the door and I can be here and be at this desk and almost like, turn on that version of Jess, that pre-baby version of Jess, to be in this moment and to just know that I get to be creative and I get to have fun. So I really think having a space is is number one and if you live in a small apartment you're like Jess, I don't have a space.

Speaker 1:

I remember reading in the book Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty and he talked about when him and his wife lived in this like one bachelor. It wasn't even a one bedroom, it was like a bachelor apartment and they would have a corner that they ate dinner in, a corner that they would eat that they would work in, a corner that they would sleep in and a corner that might be like their play, their peaceful corner. And they had these spaces because having spaces for certain things made a huge difference in being able to get into that mindset quickly. So if you had a space where you worked, you can get into the mindset of like I work here and do your work a lot quicker than if you were to do everything at the kitchen table. And I 100% relate to this because when I read this book, I was living in Barbados with my husband in our two bedroom apartment, which sounds like lots of space.

Speaker 1:

Honestly, it was a really big apartment. It was stunning. It was right on the water grounds like lots of space. Honestly, it was a really big apartment, it was stunning, it was right on the water. But there was only one room that had air conditioning and my American friends were going to listen to this and be like how hot is that? It was like 35 to 40 degrees every day all year round, and that's in Celsius. So you're going to have to do the conversion. I have no idea, but it was hot all the time. You were literally sweating just standing.

Speaker 1:

I used to wear a Garmin watch when I was there and it would go off all the time that I was having stressful heart rates just by like standing because it was so hot, and so I did everything in our bedroom. I would work in bed, I would eat lunch in bed, I would do everything in this place. It worked out in this room. I just did everything in this room. It worked out in this room. I just did everything in this room because it was the only place where you could get a little bit of relief from the heat.

Speaker 1:

And it got to the point where I had like one side of the bed for work and one side of the bed for sleep. And it just got so confusing that when we moved to our, our next apartment, when we lived down there and had like rooms and spaces, like Like I had a space for my office, a space for sleep, like it was so much better. But you can make this work still in a small space. Even if you only have one room that is comfortable this time of year, you can make it work Like in a tiny corner. I highly recommend even like a spot on your couch. Do you have a spot? I bet you do.

Speaker 1:

When you listen to this you're like, oh, I love my spot, and when the kids take my spot on the couch I am so angry. If you can just sit in that for a few moments in that corner and just ignore the world around, you maybe have your hot cup of coffee. I remember talking to Jessie Harold, who was on this podcast too, and she said she would have a cup of tea on her back deck and her kids knew that you do not interrupt mom when she's having her 10 minutes of her hot cup of tea on the deck. Like, give her that time and I have baby. You can't really tell him not to interrupt you, but maybe you need to find where that spot is and sit in it first thing. Or especially sit in it when you're feeling this energy, like I was feeling this morning of just like I have all these things I have to get done in no time to do it. How can you take a pause to take a breath and to sit in the energy that is going to set your whole day up for success.

Speaker 1:

When you take a moment for you, it might feel like you have no time at all, right, you cannot, don't even think about it, right. But it's actually going to change everything. If you just take that space five, ten minutes like not even a lot of time and sit and have that peaceful moment and have that hot cup of coffee, it is going to shift your energy in a way that you cannot even explain. Like there, you're going to come out of that a whole different person and it makes a really big difference for me. 10 minutes of meditation, 10 minutes of breathing actually can shift whether I am a happy wife or a not so happy wife, and it makes a really big difference for me. Even just hiding in my bedroom and laying on my bed for a few minutes really can make a big difference.

Speaker 1:

And right now in the season, like some days, I'm like nap trapped for like three hours. And instead of getting frustrated in that season, I've just started to set myself up with like a book I want to read, or like romanticizing that nap trap a little bit more. Bring the hot cup of coffee, do what I need to do. That's going to help to make that more enjoyable instead of automatically assuming like oh, like I'm stuck here, I have so many things to do, like this sucks so much. Like we can sit in that energy. Right, you could sit in that energy for three hours and you're going to come out of that nap trap and you're going to be angry and you're going to be frustrated and the rest of the day also is going to suck. Or for those three hours, you could sit and enjoy the moment a little bit more. Right, you could read your book. Instead of scrolling. You could meditate a little bit if you want to. I've've been doing Duolingo French lessons. You could do your French lessons, like you can find a way to make that pleasant, because you don't really have any control over how long you're going to be there. And same thing if you're working like you don't have control over how long you have to work, you're going to have to do it. So why not find a way to romanticize it and enjoy it a little bit? More's going to shift your vibration, it's going to shift your energy and you're going to come out happier and you're going to show up as a better partner, as a better mom, as a better friend, as a better anything, because you've done something for you that you just haven't always made the time for.

Speaker 1:

The other thing that really helps me in these seasons of of overstimulation and overconsumption is to declutter my space. There is nothing better than a good purge Until, like five years from now, I'm like where's that dress I wanted? And then you're like oh, I donated that. That's the only time that I regret when I do my purges. But other than that, I just sent a massive duffel bag of stuff from baby stuff to, you know, clothes that don't fit me anymore, clothes that just doesn't have the right vibe anymore, things, books, all the stuff. I just packed it all up and we just dropped it off at the mission mart and I felt so much better getting out of the house.

Speaker 1:

Because items hold energy and you might be listening to this and you're like you are absolutely nutty, jess, but they do. If there's something like a cracked lamp that you're just like I should fix that or I should get rid of it, and you look at it every single day and you have that thought and six months later has passed and you're still looking at that broken lamp and you're like I should fix it or I should throw it out. Just throw it out, okay, or fix it if that's what you want to do. But you got to do it today, okay, because that energy holds in your house. It has, like every time you see it it's bringing that same feeling up. It's time to get rid of it same with maybe some books that are on your bookshelf that you're just like I'm never going to read that again.

Speaker 1:

Somebody else out there is looking for this item. They are wanting this item and it's just sitting on your shelf and you do not want it, you're never going to touch it again. It's actually driving you crazy to have this much stuff in the house, so like, let's just purge and get it out, because there's someone else in this world who has been looking for this and that might sound so funny, but I find it easier to think of it like that, knowing that there's someone on the other side who wants this item and I'm actually hoarding it and holding it back from them having it. That's not fair, right? I don't need this anymore. It's time to release it and allow someone else to benefit from it.

Speaker 1:

Same thing with clothes that maybe there's a clothes that don't fit or clothes that don't feel like you anymore. I actually put on something that wasn't in my to give away pile. It fits, it's fine, I put it on and I'm like the version of me who used to wear this is not wearing this anymore. Like this is just not me and I need to put that in a pile to donate right. Like these things hold energy and that energy isn't serving us anymore. It's not helping. So how can we release some of this out of our house that our house can feel better and clearer and fun and and that like safe space that we need.

Speaker 1:

It's by decluttering and getting rid of things or even just organizing them. We just had a call in the sisterhood the other day on our goals, like our goals for the next 60 days. We do it every 60 days. We set up like some time to sit down to think about the last 60 days and where we want to go in the next 60 days. And I make note of everyone's goals because sometimes we forget, I forget often my goals. So it's nice to have a space where we can be reminded of what we want and how can we get to there, what we want and how can we get to there.

Speaker 1:

And for some people they were like I just really want to clear up some spaces, declutter some stuff. It's September, it's this new energy back to school energy, like I want things to feel good and in place. That energetically, like feng shui wise, is huge right. So decluttering and clearing spaces and making things just feel more peaceful and joyful for you is actually one of the best things you can do in order to raise that vibration, in order to just feel like a better version of you. Even before coming down here, I was like, okay, I don't have to tidy everything, but I do want to tidy some of the kitchen so that life is going to feel a little easier later. And my little guy had some peanut butter toast with his breakfast and when he does that it's just sticky everywhere, and so, like I was, like I do need to clean this because I don't love the smell of peanut butter. But anyways, it makes a big difference to even just do one section at a time.

Speaker 1:

Do you have a junk drawer, a drawer that you just, like, put all of your garbage in and you've been doing it for years, that if you were to go back in there there's probably like ticket stubs from like five years ago. Go through that drawer, clean it up, you know, throw out what needs to be thrown out. We actually just took all of our change that we have had, probably for. But even before we got married, like for years and years and years, we used to put all of our change in this jar. And glenn, my husband, he actually said he's like that's probably my change from like when we went clubbing, like back in the day, and you'd get cash out and you'd have some change and you'd throw your change in the jar we took all of our change from, like our cars, from our you know the spot that we have in the house and brought it to this coin machine and you pour it in and it counts all your coins and then it gives you like a voucher. We had 50 probably over 50 worth of coins, because it takes like 12. I think I was like you know what, mr robot, you can take your 12. This has just been sitting in my house for years. It had 50. We also took all of our bottles because we're just like you know what. This is the week to do it. We are decl, decluttering. We had like $30 worth of like recyclables to return.

Speaker 1:

There's little things everywhere that could just help you to declutter and feel a lot better about the space that you're living in. And if you're thinking about one space right now in particular, you're like this is the spot. I know it's here. Oh, that, that juncture, that know, tv island, whatever. Go, just go, do it right, do it tonight. You can take five minutes. It's really not going to take you a lot of time, but it's going to feel so much better to have that space clear. And I also understand having kids. I only have one right, so it's not as crazy and I keep most of his stuff in his playpen.

Speaker 1:

But and like you, cleaning a space and then it being dirty again in 30 minutes, I totally understand, but I think, also, knowing how good you're going to feel for those 30 minutes, it's worth it, right, and it's easier to keep it up once you've done it once. So, just like, clean the playroom, do what you need to do and, even if it's going to get dirty again, go to your joyful place, take a deep breath and know that it's going to be okay, but it's going to make a big difference for you to feel better, knowing you've cleaned and purged and gotten rid of what you need to get rid of. Okay, your house is holding onto energy that it doesn't need to be holding on to, and I say house, but wherever you live, right, wherever you are, your space is holding on to energy that it doesn't need to be holding on to. So it's time for you to Release it. It's time for you to clear it out, and I think it makes a big difference. Think of it, too, as like pruning your plants. My sister-in-law was here on the weekend watching our dog while we were traveling, and she's like I trimmed your plants for you and it's like they look so much better. Right, think of your house like you're pruning your plants. Right, do a corner at a time, do a little bit of time and you're watering yourself by taking that time to feel good about your space.

Speaker 1:

We can control a lot of things when it comes to over consumption. So, yeah, sure, we have a lot. We have a lot of stuff in our house. That's our society, that's where we live, that's how we, that's how we survive sometimes. Right, we like our stuff, but how can we keep it organized in order for us to stop feeling so overwhelmed? All the fricking time? Right, clear it out, go through your crawl space, oh man.

Speaker 1:

And now that I have a kid, holy, molyly the stuff that we accumulate and it's only been seven months, just like car seats and you know, clothes that we're keeping, and, and they're just like so much stuff. There's just so much stuff. You can organize it. You can take the time we're gonna vacuum, seal all the baby clothes and put it away, just in case we ever decide we want more. We at least have the stuff, but we do need to organize it and put it. So it's tight because we're running out of room over here and you're probably running out of room too. So where can you create some space to just take a deep breath and to feel good?

Speaker 1:

And the last thing I have on my list here that I really wanted to chat with you about was just giving yourself some grace. I know, I know it's really hard and we often first place we go is I'm a bad mom, I'm a bad friend. I know I'm a bad friend, I know. I know I'm a bad dog mom. I've said that because my dog is like maybe hadn't had to walk or something Like we say these things to ourselves and I don't know why it comes out of my mouth too, right, oh well, I know, know I'm a bad insert the thing that you said but you're not. You're not a bad friend because you haven't replied to that text in three days. Okay, you are not a bad mom because you fed your kid mac and cheese out of a box. Okay, you are not a bad dog mom because your dog didn't get to go for a walk. Okay, you're not a bad dog mom because your dog didn't get to go for a walk. Okay, you're not a bad employee because you got distracted on your phone for three hours instead of getting your work done. You're not okay.

Speaker 1:

We are just in this cycle of really difficult energy, right? There's a lot going on around us in this world right now and you know we got to give ourselves some grace. I'm making this episode because I know there's so many of us who are going through this, and this week, in the selfish sisterhood, we are doing our workshop on, like, raising your vibration, because I know there's so many of us who are stuck in this low vibration of just like oh, I have to do this, everything sucks, the world is so heavy. You know I'm addicted to my phone blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah all these things, right, and I want to shake us out of it. It might not be the norm right now to be joyful and to be happy and to be in this energy. It's not the norm, right? We're all overstressed, we're all overstimulated, we're, all you know, consuming things in the world that maybe we should hold back on a little bit more. We're all doing it. So why not be the weird person who's actually happy, right, even if it's for 15 minutes? Why not be the weird person who's raising the vibration of the world.

Speaker 1:

I actually pulled a card right before I came on here and I often do this because it just kind of helps to remind me, like where's the direction, what, where I have notes, but like what needs to be said. And the card I got was the light in the unexpected and it was talking about like being the light worker in a place that it's needed most, but also like this energy of like loss of control and maybe, you know, not always doing what feels socially acceptable and, um, yeah, it's like this is a challenging season. So like why not find the love, find the light, find the meaning and find the happiness? They're all hidden in your current situation, so allow them to flood into your life by actively searching for the meaning in this madness. And that's us right now. We're in the madness, like this. We all can't deny we are in the madness, we are in a massive season of unknown.

Speaker 1:

So do what you can control, right. Take your 30 minutes to do something, to shave your legs, to take a shower oh man, is there anything better than an everything shower, head to toe? Yes, it's a lot of work, but don't you feel like a million bucks after? Do that, do those things that make you feel like a million bucks. Buy the coffee. That's a little bit more expensive if it lights you up and fills you with joy every day. Right, I understand money's tight right now. Things in the world are really difficult but you can splurge a little bit on something for you.

Speaker 1:

Instead of buying your kids that 12th snack that they've asked for, I want you to buy yourself one. Bring yourself a little bit of joy, because when we think about it as the mom, as the cup, or the woman as the cup right the top, and we're filling it and filling it and filling it, and it overflows into everybody else, right, have you seen those videos where the water's overflowing into everyone else? Women are those cups. You don't have to be a mom to know that. Right, we know we're the caretakers, I think caretaking for friends, family, neighbors, all the things we are the caretakers we love in such a deep way and we carry so much to care for others. We need to be filling our cups first, because there's just so much that we've been doing for the world and we forget that we also need to do for us, because sometimes that energy too, like if you're caring for everybody else and nobody cares for you. It starts to get better too, right? So make sure that you're filling your cup up, even if it's one hot cup of coffee on the back deck every day.

Speaker 1:

It's a walk by yourself, it's 15 minutes to come down here and to record a podcast episode and to hang out with my besties, like, do what feels good for you, and I mean that from, like, the biggest soul level that I can do. It's simple, right, it's so simple, but it's so important because we are overstimulated and we are over consuming right now, and even as you listen to this podcast, right, you're consuming something. I hope that you can walk away from this knowing that you can take a break. Right, you can listen to some silence, even like I had to close the door in this office because I put the washing machine on and the sound of the washing machine was like overstimulating me because, again, it's just so many things in our world that we have to do chores that have to get done, laundry that needs to get folded so why not take a little peaceful moment, hang out with yourself?

Speaker 1:

Oh, and one more thing I had on my list here as I wrap this up was about silence, but I also understand now, having a little one silence just doesn't always happen. That's one of my favorite things, because I only thought of this, because the washing machine just stopped and the house is silent. You know, glenn has taken the baby, he's gone, my dog's in here and she's just peacefully taking a nap and the house is silent. Oh, I miss those days when the house was silent all the time. But I also know that that's just not a reality.

Speaker 1:

So if you're like me and maybe you can't control the level of sound in your home, I like to put my AirPods in or put a little like earbud in and play a sound bath, or even like some brown noise. We are like we use sound machines in my son's room, in our room, like we love a good sound machine. So silence isn't always you know the thing. That can help, but it can help to take some of the edge off, to listen to something that's like a constant sound. So brown noise, white noise, waves we love to do waves, we're beach fam but also sound baths and frequencies. I it. It fuels my soul. It's what I need.

Speaker 1:

If I'm finding things to be overstimulating or there to be too much sound, I can put my headphones in and listen to a sound bath, and it makes a really big difference for me too. So that was one more thing I wanted to mention, in case it's sounds that are overstimulating for you, because I know it can be. I know a lot of people get their ear, um, their earbuds, to the um, the loop what's the word? I'm thinking of earplugs, loop earplugs so it takes away some of the noise without being totally silent, so then you can still hear what's going on, you can still hear the kids, you can still hear, um, if you're in the office and like someone says your name, like you can still hear that, but it takes some of the edge off. I can only imagine being in an office, uh, for 40 hours a week.

Speaker 1:

The sound, the overstimulation of sound, would be just too much for me, and maybe I'm weird, but somebody else who's listening to this let me know if sound can be overstimulating for you. Just having an earplug or an earbud with something that can take the edge off and help you to focus really makes a big difference too. So find those things for you that you need that are going to help in this world that we live in. That is just like flashy lights all the time. What's going to help you to stay focused on what you need and on who you are as a soul, like who are you and where do you want to be?

Speaker 1:

Okay, once you figure that out, we got to get rid of some of these distractions. Get rid of the clutter. Give yourself some space to breathe every single day, raise your vibration to just like one little level higher every single day, and you are going to be unrecognizable in a year, like we can go in small, small increments every single day, and it is going to be like have such a huge impact on who you are. So I love you so much, my friends. I am just so grateful to be able to sit down with you. I feel oh so much better, like I just having this chat with you and hanging out like, oh, I feel even emotional to think about it. It means a lot that I have you in my corner and I just want to thank you so much for being here. Please send me a message that I know I'm not just talking to a wall, and maybe I am just talking to a wall, but I know in my soul that there is someone on the other side, and it just means a lot.

Speaker 1:

When I see that you're listening to it or when I get a message from you and you say you connected with it, it makes a really, really big difference. And when I see your reviews if you love this podcast, it would mean the world to me. If you gave me a review, it helps to push the podcast out to new people so they can see that you're connecting with it and maybe they might connect with it too. So please give me a review. Wherever you listen to your podcast whether that's on Apple, on Spotify it really, really makes a big difference and I'm just so grateful for you, like I truly am.

Speaker 1:

We've been on this journey for almost four years and I saw some people who've been starting back at the beginning and that almost made my stomach turn a little bit because I thought I am a very different person than I was episode one, but I bet you are too, and I'm so grateful that we get to go through this journey together. So I love you so much and I will talk to you soon. What's up, sis? I am so glad we could hang out today. If you love this episode, send it to a friend or share it on your social media and tag me so I can personally thank you for helping me sprinkle some confidence in the world. And don't forget you are magic. Let's show the world your shine.
