Speaker 1: Hi everyone, and welcome back to the other podcast episode.
Speaker 1: My name is Alicia Gogin, the host of The Globe
Speaker 1: Secret Podcast, where I help you expand your mind and
Speaker 1: become more self aware so that you can glow up
Speaker 1: into the best version of yourself. Okay, guys, it is
Speaker 1: a new season and I'm excited for this season and
Speaker 1: what I'm really calling this new season other than fall.
Speaker 1: Shout out to all the people actually though who I
Speaker 1: believe it's the Southern Hemisphere or whatever, all of my
Speaker 1: Australian girlies or guys who are watching this because technically
Speaker 1: you guys are going into summer, which still blows my
Speaker 1: mind when I hear about that. Anyways, we're going to
Speaker 1: the fall time, but I want to call this the
Speaker 1: next chapter. And with that said, I want to give
Speaker 1: you guys some tips and maybe some advice when it
Speaker 1: comes to transitioning yourself mentally and physically into a new season.
Speaker 1: I think this episode could be helpful for those who
Speaker 1: are struggling with motivation or inspiration when it comes to
Speaker 1: transitioning from summer to fall. But also just to give
Speaker 1: you guys a reminder to really do your best to
Speaker 1: flow with the season of life. I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of us can get into a perfectionist mindset and
Speaker 1: or a fixing energy and or a one track way
Speaker 1: of trying to live our lives, and sometimes we push
Speaker 1: up against nature, we push up against what's happening in
Speaker 1: our current lives, and we resist it a lot, we
Speaker 1: struggle with.
Speaker 2: It a lot.
Speaker 1: And I find the reason why sometimes there is so
Speaker 1: much unhappiness or lack of motivation when it comes to
Speaker 1: moving into fall and winter seasons. Is this forgetting of
Speaker 1: the fact that we are transitioning and it's okay to transition,
Speaker 1: and how can we prepare ourselves mentally and physically for
Speaker 1: this transition instead of trying to hold on to patterns
Speaker 1: and habits and ways of life that might serve us
Speaker 1: in one chapter of our lives but might not serve
Speaker 1: us in another. And during my later half of my
Speaker 1: twenty is I have really fallen into understanding that life
Speaker 1: is cyclical. I cycle sink. I understand there's just no
Speaker 1: point on trying to do the same thing every single
Speaker 1: day for the rest of my life because the seasons
Speaker 1: are changing, or my mood is changing, things like that.
Speaker 2: So I really love the fact that we.
Speaker 1: Are cyclical human beings in general, and we have different
Speaker 1: seasons some of us, I know, not everyone has like
Speaker 1: a fall in a winter and this that, but I
Speaker 1: think naturally there is this transition, and so I'm always
Speaker 1: reflecting and thinking about how can I really ease into
Speaker 1: the new season versus just like one day waking up
Speaker 1: and its fall, or one day waking up and it's winter.
Speaker 1: And of course that kind of happens regardless, but I
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of the times when we do
Speaker 1: kind of wake up and we realize we're unhappy is
Speaker 1: because we didn't take that time to really slowly ease
Speaker 1: into something in general. So let's first talk about mental transition.
Speaker 1: I think the best way to start a healthy transition
Speaker 1: into a new season is sitting down, having a dedicated
Speaker 1: day to really think about some of the goals and
Speaker 1: the vision that you hold for yourself for the next
Speaker 1: few months to come, or even just like the fall season.
Speaker 1: It completely depends. Some people like to plan their years
Speaker 1: and quarters or month to month or even like a
Speaker 1: year whatever. I just think having a maybe not even
Speaker 1: clean slate, because maybe you have goals that you still
Speaker 1: want to build on or work on, but really sitting
Speaker 1: down and getting clear with how it is that you
Speaker 1: want to live out your life when it comes to
Speaker 1: your career, when it comes to your relationships, when it
Speaker 1: comes to your friendships, all the areas of your life,
Speaker 1: how do you want to be, What do you want
Speaker 1: to do? What do you want to accomplish? What are
Speaker 1: the things that you want to be working on? One
Speaker 1: because it just gives you good energy, right and you
Speaker 1: get inspired again and you get into this new vibe.
Speaker 2: But I think this.
Speaker 1: Really helps with your mood and just being happy with life,
Speaker 1: because it can be depressing sometimes moving from the fun
Speaker 1: summer sunny like chaotic brat summer maybe, or like helingal
Speaker 1: sum or whatever summer you had, from this slower paced
Speaker 1: energy that we're moving into. I think a great way
Speaker 1: to do this And this is what I always do,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to show you guys. My mood board
Speaker 1: is to create a mood board or a vision board.
Speaker 1: I'll probably just call it vision board because that's basically
Speaker 1: what it is. And also having some sort of like
Speaker 1: planning situation that you have. I like to use notion
Speaker 1: when it comes to content goals. When it comes to
Speaker 1: career plan and workouts, like all of the things that
Speaker 1: involve my life, essentially where I can sit down and
Speaker 1: think about the goals that I want to hit and
Speaker 1: like kind of what I'm projecting to do and be
Speaker 1: in the next fall season. So I just recently made
Speaker 1: my fall mood board. I will leave a link to
Speaker 1: the template down below on Canva and you can make
Speaker 1: your own. You'll just have to take out the photos
Speaker 1: and you can add your own in. You can also
Speaker 1: follow me on pinch because I create a lot of
Speaker 1: Pinterest boards for aesthetic vibes and stuff. I am very
Speaker 1: much so an aesthetic visual girl, so I really like
Speaker 1: to think about my goals and set intentions from this
Speaker 1: place of like a mood board or a vision where
Speaker 1: I can see imagery, and on my vision boards, I
Speaker 1: like to encompass the aesthetics. Yes of like how I
Speaker 1: want the fall winter, but mainly it's fall, because we'll
Speaker 1: do a winter one too, but fall to kind of
Speaker 1: look and feel, whether that be my outfits or where
Speaker 1: I'm going to be moving or when I mean moving,
Speaker 1: I just mean like places I'm going to be moving at,
Speaker 1: whether it's cafes or different dinner spots, or what I
Speaker 1: want to do with my friends, things like that, but
Speaker 1: also it does encompass some of my goals. So for
Speaker 1: mine and for those who are watching on audio, maybe
Speaker 1: you want to go to YouTube today and just see
Speaker 1: how my mood board looks, or you might be following
Speaker 1: me on Instagram, which if you haven't, you can follow
Speaker 1: me Instagram Alisha Gogain. So in this chapter of my life,
Speaker 1: I'm getting really clear with my career plan and I
Speaker 1: have always kind of been clear with that when it
Speaker 1: comes to like what I want to do with the
Speaker 1: podcast and what I want to do with one on
Speaker 1: one clients and the education that I want to have
Speaker 1: and all those things, and I've been working on them.
Speaker 1: But I think naturally this season of life, I tend
Speaker 1: to like to study more and do more certifications and
Speaker 1: just like expand my knowledge on things. So I really
Speaker 1: not only did I get clear with my career plan
Speaker 1: for honestly like the next five years by going into
Speaker 1: notion and making a template and just like writing out
Speaker 1: all the certifications and what I envision myself doing for
Speaker 1: my career, but on my mood board, I have a
Speaker 1: photo of a girl writing, which also leads into mental
Speaker 1: health as well. Lots of journaling I love to do.
Speaker 1: And there's a girl who is like looking at books
Speaker 1: on a bookshelf.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just think those just represent studying, knowledge, wisdom, working
Speaker 1: hard on something, focusing on your career.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: Another thing that I want to focus on is my relationships,
Speaker 1: and that is friendship and romantic. And so there's I
Speaker 1: think there's two on here, well yeah two where one
Speaker 1: is like a dinner with like a city view, and
Speaker 1: that's basically dates that could be with friends but also romantic.
Speaker 1: And if you guys watched my vlog channel, which that
Speaker 1: video didn't get that many views, so probably not a
Speaker 1: lot of you guys saw it, but if you did
Speaker 1: watch to get Ready with Me, then you will know
Speaker 1: we are back in the dating scene. There's also a
Speaker 1: photo it kind of looks like Yorkville in Toronto. If
Speaker 1: you guys have never been to Toronto and you want
Speaker 1: to come to Toronto, definitely stop around New Yorkville because
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It is like Hella, expensive, like where the
Speaker 1: richies live, but it's beautiful and I like to spend
Speaker 1: some time there sometimes not all the time because like
Speaker 1: it's expensive, but just going to those cool esthetic places.
Speaker 1: It doesn't even have to be Yorkville, but just like
Speaker 1: Ousington or Kensington Market, like any places really where it's
Speaker 1: just like beautiful. You can see the fall leaves, it's scenery,
Speaker 1: all those things with my friends. So that's why I
Speaker 1: like to have that. And it's just like a fall asthetic.
Speaker 2: Of course.
Speaker 1: There's a girl holding coffee with like nice boots, and
Speaker 1: I really like that fashion sense and also something with
Speaker 1: a girl who's like walking in a beautiful, nice, like
Speaker 1: aesthetic outfit with her little coffee, like she's on her shit,
Speaker 1: she's going somewhere, she has something to do, type of energy,
Speaker 1: and that's how I usually am during the fall time.
Speaker 1: There is a girl at the gym. Now I don't
Speaker 1: usually like to put other women's bodies on my vision board.
Speaker 1: I did like darken the photo a little bit, but honestly,
Speaker 1: I just felt like that photo fit the vibe and
Speaker 1: that kind of actually looks like my gym, and I
Speaker 1: really want that set, honestly, So spending more time. And
Speaker 1: there's another photo where it's like yoga mat with lights
Speaker 1: and stuff, really just spending more time moving, and we
Speaker 1: will talk about movement. There is a makeup bag because
Speaker 1: like I just want to do more like get Ready
Speaker 1: with Me is when it comes to vlogs, but also
Speaker 1: just romanticizing like getting ready and being a girl or
Speaker 1: a woman, I should say both sometimes we're girls sometimes
Speaker 1: where a woman just depends in the day.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: But I have a new vanity in my podcast studio,
Speaker 1: so like I'm just really trying to enjoy that, and
Speaker 1: like being the president, which I will talk about. And
Speaker 1: there's a photo of like an at home. There's like
Speaker 1: cookies and I think there's like ice cream on there,
Speaker 1: but it really just like signals to me just really
Speaker 1: slowing down into my night routine and cooking for myself
Speaker 1: and enjoying my space. There's another video that I posted
Speaker 1: on my main channel when it comes to creating my
Speaker 1: space for fall time, and I made.
Speaker 2: It really cozy. I got a new table.
Speaker 1: A dining table, which it's made me so much more
Speaker 1: productive because I feel like I actually have a place
Speaker 1: to sit and work and eat, and I have like
Speaker 1: the new vanity makeup area as well, so I feel
Speaker 1: like my house is really a home and it motivates
Speaker 1: me to want to do more of my morning routines
Speaker 1: and more of my night routines.
Speaker 2: Things like that. So just thinking.
Speaker 1: About the vibe you want to be in the identity
Speaker 1: that you want to hold, the things that you want
Speaker 1: to do. It could be hobbies, it could be something
Speaker 1: to do with finances or career relationships, your health, your beauty, anything.
Speaker 1: Just really reinvent yourself, like this is the perfect time
Speaker 1: to do that, and then add those photos onto a
Speaker 1: vision board, put it on your desktop, put it on
Speaker 1: your phone screen, and just get ready to set the vibes.
Speaker 1: Also maybe even changing your music playlist or getting a
Speaker 1: new book. Sometimes I'd like to do those things to
Speaker 1: kind of signal like.
Speaker 2: A new era.
Speaker 1: I am currently making new Spotify playlists, so I will
Speaker 1: link them when they are ready. They're not ready yet,
Speaker 1: but I am definitely getting more music as well.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Another thing, when it comes to mental transition, I think
Speaker 1: it's really important to practice gratitude and presence. I think
Speaker 1: sometimes we can get really caught up in the next thing, right,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to fall. I feel like fall
Speaker 1: goes really quickly and then it's like Christmas and then
Speaker 1: New Year's and then I got to glow up before summer.
Speaker 1: Like everything happens very quickly. But in my life I'm
Speaker 1: really just trying to be present. Why many reasons, one
Speaker 1: for your nervous system. Okay, let's remind ourselves again that
Speaker 1: our nervous systems are calling us to slow it down,
Speaker 1: and this is a great time to heal your nervous system,
Speaker 1: to heal yourself in the most natural way, which is
Speaker 1: moving with the season of life. Things slow down, the
Speaker 1: sun sets earlier, there's darker nights, there's slower nights, there's
Speaker 1: nights where you probably will get more sleep. There are
Speaker 1: colder days, which means to come inwards and introspect. These
Speaker 1: are all natural signals that you can take from nature,
Speaker 1: from the universe that will heal you naturally. Sometimes we
Speaker 1: look for the supplement or the diet or the person
Speaker 1: or the thing to fix our issues or heal our traumas,
Speaker 1: or what a new journal prompt can I do? And
Speaker 1: this that those are all beautiful things. But most of
Speaker 1: the time, when it comes to trauma, when it comes
Speaker 1: to unhealed this that tals, cabits, sabotage, all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. There's always a nervous system dysregulation kind of
Speaker 1: connection with that and how you can really work on
Speaker 1: no longer operating from this fight or flight, which makes
Speaker 1: you sabotage, which makes you act out of ways you
Speaker 1: don't want, to be anxious, be depressed, all of those things.
Speaker 1: Is to move with nature, is to move with the
Speaker 1: season of life. So I find when it comes to
Speaker 1: my journal practice, which is what I love to do
Speaker 1: in the mornings, I really especially right now, I'm really
Speaker 1: spending time being so hyper aware of the things that
Speaker 1: I do have and being grateful for them and just
Speaker 1: basking in them. Why, Like I said, yes, because it
Speaker 1: helps with your nervous system, But in general, it's like,
Speaker 1: why are we not you know? And I feel like
Speaker 1: we forget this a lot, especially the ones who are
Speaker 1: into self development. Same with me, I forget all the time.
Speaker 1: The other day I had this like huge epiphany in bed.
Speaker 1: I was like, you so don't remember sometimes how impactful
Speaker 1: you can be and your work is and your podcast
Speaker 1: is and all the things that you've done, and you
Speaker 1: need to start because it's actually insane. Like sometimes I
Speaker 1: will recognize other people's successes and it's not even from
Speaker 1: this place of like being jealous or thinking that I'm
Speaker 1: not doing good enough, but I just always can acknowledge
Speaker 1: other people for being so successful, Like I was doing
Speaker 1: this the other day. I was thinking about somebody in
Speaker 1: my life and I'm like, wow, like he's so successful
Speaker 1: and da dah and this that, and I'm sitting here
Speaker 1: like you have had so thousands of people, thousands of
Speaker 1: you guys individually reach out to me and say, your
Speaker 1: podcast change my life. It's helping me get through the days,
Speaker 1: it's helping me with my depression, it's helping me learn
Speaker 1: something new, like genuinely, and you don't even acknowledge that
Speaker 1: in terms of like I don't really sit there and
Speaker 1: reflect on that a lot and see how like, wow,
Speaker 1: it's really impactful, and I need to start doing that more,
Speaker 1: even when it comes to my book, Like I'm so
Speaker 1: used to just not and just kind of working and
Speaker 1: doing the things that I know that I'm good at.
Speaker 1: And that's great, but it's like you do have to
Speaker 1: be grateful and you do have to acknowledge the things
Speaker 1: that you have accomplished. And even outside of the things
Speaker 1: that I've acomplished when it comes to a podcast and
Speaker 1: this that in general, all of the healing that I've done,
Speaker 1: all of the lessons that I've learned from the past years.
Speaker 1: Same with you guys. You guys have come this far, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're pissed off about something that
Speaker 1: hasn't worked out yet or you haven't hand a goal.
Speaker 1: You're here today, So that means you should be grateful
Speaker 1: for that. You should be proud of yourself for going
Speaker 1: through the things that you have gone through and thinking
Speaker 1: about it from a manifestation standpoint, how is it that
Speaker 1: you think that you're really going to continue to bring
Speaker 1: more abundance in your life if you can't even acknowledge
Speaker 1: what you do have. And even if you do bring
Speaker 1: more abundance in your life, you're never even going to
Speaker 1: be resting in it because you're always going to be
Speaker 1: onto the next thing because you're in the fight or flight.
Speaker 1: You're in the I'm not grateful you're in the I
Speaker 1: can't acknowledge anything. You have to practice, and how you
Speaker 1: do that is sometimes doing your general practice of being
Speaker 1: grateful for the things that you do have and sending
Speaker 1: letters to yourself and being proud of yourself. You should
Speaker 1: really do that in this season of your life. The
Speaker 1: third thing can maybe be for some people and maybe not.
Speaker 1: It depends on your resource and if you have money
Speaker 1: to do that, but maybe considering if you've never been
Speaker 1: to therapy, going to therapy, or going back to therapy,
Speaker 1: or even maybe changing therapists or changing something about what
Speaker 1: you are focusing on in therapy or with a coach.
Speaker 1: I also do one on one coaching, which is different
Speaker 1: than therapy. It's very future focused, but we do a
Speaker 1: lot of like feminine embodiment work. So if you're interested
Speaker 1: in working with me, you can have all the information
Speaker 1: down below, but you can do that, or you could
Speaker 1: even maybe invest some money into a new course or
Speaker 1: finding free resources, or just simply getting a book and
Speaker 1: learning something new about yourself and like really picking something
Speaker 1: that you want to you know, you want to work on.
Speaker 1: Like for me in my life right now, the big
Speaker 1: piece that I'm working on is interpersonal relationships. I have
Speaker 1: a lot of relational trauma. I mean, I feel like
Speaker 1: most people do that watch the episodes and relate to
Speaker 1: anything when it comes to anxious attachment, disorganized attachment, anxious
Speaker 1: behavior really with people, or not backing yourself I find,
Speaker 1: or comparing and all that kind of stuff. A lot
Speaker 1: of that can stem from relational trauma. Not always, but
Speaker 1: that is my issue. I have lived a life where
Speaker 1: I've had to take care of myself from a young
Speaker 1: age and I've had to rely on only myself, and
Speaker 1: unfortunately that it's created a lot of trust issues.
Speaker 2: That's created a lot of.
Speaker 1: Not feeling safe in a relationship to be able to
Speaker 1: express myself because i never learned how to do that.
Speaker 1: And I've learned a lot of things, and I've come
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and I've healed a lot of
Speaker 1: like anxious attached parts of me and avoidant parts of me,
Speaker 1: and this that I am a disorganized attachment style, by
Speaker 1: the way, but I tend to create content based off
Speaker 1: of the things that I have learned on both sides.
Speaker 1: So that's why I have some videos sometimes where I
Speaker 1: talk about anxious attachment. I don't think I've really talked
Speaker 1: about avoidant, but I've talked about it. And when it
Speaker 1: comes to friendships anyways, I want to focus on that
Speaker 1: when it comes to therapy. So maybe thinking about something
Speaker 1: that keeps continuously coming up for you, all right, The
Speaker 1: next thing I want to talk about is physical transition.
Speaker 1: So this pertains to health, so movement, because we're not
Speaker 1: going to get that many nice days to come in
Speaker 1: Toronto as it gets cooler, I want to spend as
Speaker 1: much time outside. I have been really focusing on going
Speaker 1: back out in nature a lot more than I have.
Speaker 1: I feel like this summer I didn't do that good
Speaker 1: when it comes to how grow walks, Like I feel
Speaker 1: like I did like minimums seriously minimum to a day
Speaker 1: last summer and even kind of in the wintertime. But
Speaker 1: now it's like a minimum one day, like I'll always walk,
Speaker 1: But I just feel like I haven't been doing that much.
Speaker 1: So I am really getting the most out of my days,
Speaker 1: so spending time in the morning, getting sunlight, getting a
Speaker 1: lot of steps in I have been counting my steps,
Speaker 1: kind of not really counting. My phone counts my steps
Speaker 1: and I like to look at it at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, That's what I mean. So I'm kind
Speaker 1: of like thinking in my head, like, oh, did I
Speaker 1: hit my ten k steps? And if I'm only at
Speaker 1: five thousand, can I go on a second walk for
Speaker 1: the day. I'm really trying to spend a lot more
Speaker 1: time out in nature, But in general, I'm just making
Speaker 1: it a habit of making sure that I am moving
Speaker 1: consistently to a point where it's not like the easiest
Speaker 1: thing in the world. But it is kind of like
Speaker 1: a workout because we should really prime ourselves for the
Speaker 1: wintertime because we should be moving, yes, in the winter time,
Speaker 1: but I feel like it's just always harder to get
Speaker 1: back into the gym or to get on your daily
Speaker 1: walks when you took a long time off. Let's say
Speaker 1: you took a long time off and you're not motivated,
Speaker 1: but you just kind of like, no, you need to
Speaker 1: or you want to this that. So I just find
Speaker 1: focusing on building up your routine when it comes to movement,
Speaker 1: whatever that looks like. Maybe you're doing yoga, maybe you're
Speaker 1: doing spin, maybe you're just doing walks for now, But
Speaker 1: just like really being intentional with movement. And I also
Speaker 1: think especially when it comes to like going outside a lot,
Speaker 1: you're again you're moving with nature. You're signaling to your body,
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna come inwards. It's introspection time. We
Speaker 1: are slowing it down, we are healing our nervous systems,
Speaker 1: we are being grateful for what we have. All of
Speaker 1: those things can really help you heal and transform and
Speaker 1: build capacity for you to be able to hit those
Speaker 1: big goals that you really want in your life. Next
Speaker 1: thing is diet. So I really like to eat seasonally,
Speaker 1: but it's not the way maybe you think when I
Speaker 1: say that, I feel like the standard way to eat
Speaker 1: when it comes to eating seasonally is like eating fruits
Speaker 1: and vegetables that are in season. And although, yes, that's
Speaker 1: a great way to eat seasonally, but honestly, your body
Speaker 1: has a lot of wisdom. Even if you don't have
Speaker 1: like the best relationship with food or you're still struggling
Speaker 1: with that, your body has a lot of wisdom and
Speaker 1: you will find your body craving more foods than others,
Speaker 1: like different types of foods than others. And so I
Speaker 1: like to really listen to my body when it comes
Speaker 1: to these seasonal transitions and make foods that will support me.
Speaker 1: So I'll give you a few examples. The other day
Speaker 1: I went to acupuncture, and sometimes I'll get a smoothie bowl.
Speaker 1: I try not to get them too much because it's
Speaker 1: such a cold food. It's not the best for your
Speaker 1: digestion if you have digestive issues, and I always just
Speaker 1: get really really cold, but they taste so good. And
Speaker 1: I was craving one when I was walking there, and
Speaker 1: then I got up from my like acupuncture table and
Speaker 1: I was thinking still like I'm craving the smoothie bold
Speaker 1: this that, But as soon as I got outside, it
Speaker 1: was cool, like it like the air was just it
Speaker 1: was almost like do I even walk home?
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: I ended up walking home, but I just knew, like
Speaker 1: the wisdom of my body as soon as I got out,
Speaker 1: was like I'm just gonna it's gonna taste good for
Speaker 1: three seconds, but I'm gonna be so cold and so
Speaker 1: sluggish and like I'm gonna be very cold that Like
Speaker 1: it's almost like my body was saying this to my
Speaker 1: mind in a way, and it was like no, please, no,
Speaker 1: please no. And I was fighting myself for a second
Speaker 1: because I had kind of already decided that that's kind
Speaker 1: of what I wanted to do, and obviously I kind
Speaker 1: of had that craving, but I was like, we are
Speaker 1: listening to our bodies, okay this season, Alisha, we are
Speaker 1: listening to our body, and your body knows and your
Speaker 1: body doesn't want a damn smooth buwl and you can
Speaker 1: have the smooth buwl on another day, but it ain't
Speaker 1: going to be today. So I ended up going to
Speaker 1: get a hot Macha, which was perfect, like so warming
Speaker 1: and soothing, and I got this like turkey blt on
Speaker 1: like a croissant and it was like warm, so that
Speaker 1: really it's what my body wanted. Another thing today, I
Speaker 1: went on a little walk in the morning and I
Speaker 1: was with somebody and we wanted to go to a
Speaker 1: coffee shop. And he was like, Oh, what coffee shop
Speaker 1: do you want to go to? Like what's your favorite one?
Speaker 1: We had passed the one that I really wanted to
Speaker 1: go to, and I was thinking about this really cute one,
Speaker 1: but I only get iced mocha at that place, and
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, that'd be really cool to go
Speaker 1: and they have great ice mochas. But again, I was like,
Speaker 1: as I was walking, I was like tapping into my body,
Speaker 1: like this is what I do, Like I listened to
Speaker 1: my body, and I'm like kind of thinking, but I'm
Speaker 1: feeling into my body and I'm like trying.
Speaker 2: I'm making a decision.
Speaker 1: I'm like, are we gonna go to this coffee shop
Speaker 1: or like the regular normal one, And I'm like, listen.
Speaker 2: It is a cool morning day.
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like an iced mocha day. Even though
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of that craving because it
Speaker 1: was so good, but I checked it with my body
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, I already know.
Speaker 1: My body's gonna love more than anything to have like
Speaker 1: a warmer latte.
Speaker 2: It's gonna feel better.
Speaker 1: And we end up going to this well it wasn't new,
Speaker 1: but we went to another coffee shop and they had
Speaker 1: like this new drink. It was unreal so good. We
Speaker 1: both had great coffees and then we went to the
Speaker 1: water and we sat in the sun. We were basking
Speaker 1: the sun. I had my warm latte. It was still
Speaker 1: perfect because it wasn't too hot, and my body just
Speaker 1: loved me. So really spending some time checking with your body,
Speaker 1: also educating yourself if you don't know when it comes
Speaker 1: to what foods are more seasonal and just things that
Speaker 1: might be better for your body when it comes to
Speaker 1: those cooler months. Anything that is cooked, anything that is
Speaker 1: warming to your body will probably be best. And doing
Speaker 1: your best to just not ignore what your body really wants.
Speaker 1: And I know it can be difficult, especially again if
Speaker 1: you don't have the best relationship with food. I did not,
Speaker 1: and I talk about it in my book The Ultimate
Speaker 1: Globe Guide. This addiction to candy that I used to have,
Speaker 1: but also this unhealthy relationship with food because I had
Speaker 1: an unhealthy relationship.
Speaker 2: With body image.
Speaker 1: So I would suggest if you really struggle, maybe get
Speaker 1: my book that could be a helpful resource so you
Speaker 1: can kind of feel seen and heard. I will have
Speaker 1: it linked down below. Or again maybe getting help on
Speaker 1: that part of your life. That's maybe a great part
Speaker 1: if you find that you don't have a healthy relationship
Speaker 1: with food. But I think that there is an innate
Speaker 1: wisdom that your body holds and knows. You know, I
Speaker 1: want this soup today versus this cold raw salad or
Speaker 1: I have been recently really craving tiaki bulls. I've been
Speaker 1: making bosmodi rice with chicken broth and having grassped ground beef.
Speaker 1: I've been having avocado in it. It is just it's
Speaker 1: just makes sense for my body right now. Verus is
Speaker 1: like a steak that I used to have all the
Speaker 1: time in the summertime with like a Greek salad. Doesn't
Speaker 1: mean steak is not good to have in the winter time.
Speaker 1: That's definitely like a warming food in a way. It's
Speaker 1: also like temperature warm, and it's a great source of protein.
Speaker 1: But I just know that my body's craving something else
Speaker 1: another thing when it comes to physical transitions would be
Speaker 1: focusing on supplements and healthcare in general. I think these
Speaker 1: are the times if I find, at least for me,
Speaker 1: that health issues can arise if I am not supporting
Speaker 1: myself when it comes to making sure that I'm getting
Speaker 1: all the vitamins, the nutrients, and getting all the checks
Speaker 1: that I need, and like just getting everything in check,
Speaker 1: because I feel like, I don't know. In the summertime,
Speaker 1: we thrive a lot, we're more social, we get more sun,
Speaker 1: we are warm a lot, where there's a lot of heat,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of just like energy. Right, So I find,
Speaker 1: at least for me health wise, I'm usually pretty thriving
Speaker 1: in the summer, but those slower months, it's almost like
Speaker 1: my body is calling me to make sure that I
Speaker 1: am supporting it. So I am taking certain supplements right now. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you're getting like blood
Speaker 1: tests done if you need that, or you know, getting
Speaker 1: a new doctor if you need that, or getting checks,
Speaker 1: do whatever you have to do. Obviously I can't tell
Speaker 1: you what you really need, but maybe even just thinking
Speaker 1: about when it comes to your periods, if you want
Speaker 1: to support yourself a little bit better through different supplementation.
Speaker 1: I'm taking some iron right now, I'm taking a probiotic,
Speaker 1: I am taking omega threes. I'm focusing more on taking
Speaker 1: vitamin D three because that is huge, especially as we
Speaker 1: get less and less sun.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Another thing that is huge, which will take time, but
Speaker 1: that is focusing on building your morning routine and night routine.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I am a huge advocate of never doing the same
Speaker 1: thing every single day because, like, I don't know, it
Speaker 1: just does not work for me in my ADHD brain
Speaker 1: and my style brain and my need for I don't know,
Speaker 1: like not doing the same thing every single day so
Speaker 1: that I don't feel like I am in jail the
Speaker 1: way that.
Speaker 2: I felt when I was in childhood.
Speaker 1: Maybe something to do with that, I don't know all
Speaker 1: of those things. I really spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: curating a morning routine that I'm excited for, that is healthy,
Speaker 1: that works for me, and a night routine, especially in
Speaker 1: the winter months, because I feel like we just have
Speaker 1: more time, right, we have more time. Not it's not
Speaker 1: that we really have more time, because obviously we have
Speaker 1: the same amount of time in a day, but we
Speaker 1: have longer nights. It usually feels because the sun will set,
Speaker 1: So I like to have some rituals when it comes
Speaker 1: to cleaning my space and allotting some room to watch
Speaker 1: my favorite show and spending time cooking a meal because
Speaker 1: I have a lot of time at night anyways to
Speaker 1: do it, because it's like what else am I going
Speaker 1: to do when the sun is not up? Focusing on
Speaker 1: my sleep that is very huge, specially fine in the
Speaker 1: winter time, and it's so healing as well for you
Speaker 1: to get adequate amount of sleep. So that's something that
Speaker 1: I'm focusing on as well, making sure that I'm getting
Speaker 1: off of my phone at a set time and going the.
Speaker 2: Frick to sleep.
Speaker 1: Recently, I've been finding that getting seven and a half
Speaker 1: ish hours is like the sweet spot for me. I
Speaker 1: find when I wake up at that sweet spot. Usually
Speaker 1: lately it's kind of been like six thirty ish. Ugh.
Speaker 1: I love waking up at like at the same time
Speaker 1: every day. That is one thing that I like doing,
Speaker 1: like naturally, if my body will do it, that is
Speaker 1: something that I will get on. But I don't force myself.
Speaker 1: There are times where I need to sleep longer. If
Speaker 1: I'm in my legal phase and I have a really
Speaker 1: bad mood, sometimes I'll take naps throughout the day if
Speaker 1: I need it, and or I will sleep longer. On
Speaker 1: my period, I will sleep longer, So it obviously depends,
Speaker 1: but just being a little bit more intentional with these
Speaker 1: routines because they are supportive for ourselves. They're supportive for
Speaker 1: our nervous systems, they're supportive for our mental health. And listen,
Speaker 1: fall wintertime, after we get the high of what fall is,
Speaker 1: in the high of what like Christmas and holiday season is,
Speaker 1: it usually becomes a dread. So if we can combat
Speaker 1: that dread by kind of being excited about our morning routines,
Speaker 1: having a slow morning routine where we're taking our supplements
Speaker 1: and we're having a nourishing breakfast, or we're listening to
Speaker 1: a podcast, or we're doing our journal guides or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know, you're going on your walk, or you have
Speaker 1: your new gym routine. That's another thing that I've created
Speaker 1: is a new workout routine. When it comes to like
Speaker 1: the weight. Starting a new show, The Real Housewives of
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City is actually when I'm recording, this is
Speaker 1: live the first episode, so I need to watch that.
Speaker 1: So just getting excited when it comes to your net
Speaker 1: routines and your morning routines and that will build over time.
Speaker 1: And I would say the last thing when it comes
Speaker 1: to physical transitions would be thinking about your self care practices.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you want to add in or
Speaker 1: take out or just spend more time doing. Right now,
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, my self care is kind of working
Speaker 1: more my mental health when it comes to doing therapy
Speaker 1: and making sure that I'm supporting my gut health. But
Speaker 1: I have been doing acupuncture, which is really beautiful. Traditional
Speaker 1: Chinese medicine is something that I'm interested in when it
Speaker 1: comes to the way that I take care of myself.
Speaker 1: So doing things like acupuncture and like eating warming foods
Speaker 1: and understanding that there's different seasons of life, which is
Speaker 1: not just a traditional Chinese medicine thing, but whatever different
Speaker 1: herbs and supplements and things like that you can take
Speaker 1: for your body, but also like doing warm baths. Now,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it is bath season or it's almost
Speaker 1: bath season. I need to get one of those like
Speaker 1: bath what are they called? Like those table things where
Speaker 1: you can have like your drink on there, you can
Speaker 1: have your little iPad situation. I need one of those.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I don't have one of those. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get one of those, and I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: like a little routine where I light my candle and
Speaker 1: I have my real housewives going like that to me, like,
Speaker 1: that's what I want to be doing in the fall
Speaker 1: time and in the wintertime on my Friday nights or
Speaker 1: my solo date nights, like really spend time like romanticizing
Speaker 1: these things and enjoying these things. I've been spending a
Speaker 1: lot of time when it comes to my sculp care
Speaker 1: and really focusing on growing my hair essentially and taking
Speaker 1: care of my hair and having those set days where
Speaker 1: I am deep conditioning, I'm doing those oil treatments all
Speaker 1: of that. I just think that why not because I
Speaker 1: feel like capitalizing on the time that we have, because
Speaker 1: it does feel like time slows down a bit in
Speaker 1: the fall and winter, and I think that has to
Speaker 1: do with just the fact that the sun sets, even
Speaker 1: though it also feels like we have shorter amount of
Speaker 1: days because we do. But I think that that it
Speaker 1: feels like that when it comes to being productive, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't really feel like that when it comes to
Speaker 1: like other things that we can do throughout our days.
Speaker 1: I hope that makes sense. And the last thing I'll
Speaker 1: quickly touch on would be productivity transitions. And I kind
Speaker 1: of already talked about it when it comes to setting goals
Speaker 1: and having a vision for your life and working on
Speaker 1: these things. But I really want you to just think
Speaker 1: about this saying that I'm sure you've heard before. If
Speaker 1: you fail to plan, you can plan to fail. What
Speaker 1: does that mean? Not only does it mean you need
Speaker 1: to have some sort of plan for your life for
Speaker 1: the next season. If you want to feel like you're
Speaker 1: doing something and being successful, or having more money or
Speaker 1: better relationships, anything, right, plan you need to have a plan.
Speaker 2: What is the vision? What is the plan?
Speaker 1: But within this plan, I want you to focus on
Speaker 1: being realistic. Be realistic with your weeks and your schedules.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we can load up our schedules and we can
Speaker 1: have one hundred million goals that we want to hit
Speaker 1: and then we don't do any of it because we're
Speaker 1: just not being realistic. And you guys are smart enough
Speaker 1: to know what you can achieve and what is just
Speaker 1: way too much for no reason. Okay, we're not talking
Speaker 1: about not having faith in ourselves to hit goals, but
Speaker 1: just focus on a few main things. One thing in
Speaker 1: your career, or one thing when it comes to your health,
Speaker 1: and just take your time and really take that action
Speaker 1: towards it and become an embodiment of that thing, and
Speaker 1: do that until it becomes a normalized thing and a
Speaker 1: part of your identity, a part of the way you
Speaker 1: live your life, and then go on to the next thing.
Speaker 1: And this honestly comes back to just moving with a
Speaker 1: season of life. You don't need to accomplish one hundred
Speaker 1: million things all in this new season of your life.
Speaker 1: Pick something and take it slow, set actionable steps throughout
Speaker 1: your week, but actually make sure that you're making a
Speaker 1: plan and execute that. And so what I like to
Speaker 1: do is every week, usually on a Sunday, sometimes on
Speaker 1: a Monday, but usually Sunday is sitting down with my
Speaker 1: planner and being like, what do I have for the
Speaker 1: next week? What do I want to do? What are
Speaker 1: the podcast episodes that I want to film? What are
Speaker 1: the things that I want to do? When it comes
Speaker 1: to studying, am I giving myself enough time to even
Speaker 1: hit all of these goals and do all of these things?
Speaker 1: And am I creating space for peace? Am I giving
Speaker 1: myself some time to breathe? We get so caught up
Speaker 1: sometimes and being productive and want to hit goals and
Speaker 1: productivity and da da dah, because it makes you feel
Speaker 1: so good about yourself and it makes you feel like
Speaker 1: you're going somewhere in your life. But a lot of
Speaker 1: times we do that because we're so not comfortable with
Speaker 1: slowing it down. But that is something that I want
Speaker 1: to practice even more this season, and something that I
Speaker 1: would like you guys, or I would hope that you
Speaker 1: guys will focus on this season, is practicing the art
Speaker 1: of slowing down. Okay, you can still hit your goals,
Speaker 1: but be realistic. Okay, take it slow, have a plan,
Speaker 1: but just be present and also be present so that
Speaker 1: you can be embodied. Because again, when we have a
Speaker 1: plan to hit certain goals, or we want to do
Speaker 1: a new thing, we want to read new books, sometimes
Speaker 1: we do that thing and then we're not even an
Speaker 1: embodied in version of that because we did it so quickly, right,
Speaker 1: we read the book so quickly, and now we don't
Speaker 1: remember what we had in that book, or we didn't
Speaker 1: talk about that topic, or we didn't do the practice
Speaker 1: that was attached to the work that we learned or
Speaker 1: the podcast that we learned, or the course that we learned,
Speaker 1: and also thinking about how you can spend your time
Speaker 1: more wisely in this season of life will be huge.
Speaker 1: I am really like big on this right now. This
Speaker 1: probably has to do with age. This definitely has to
Speaker 1: do with age. I'm approaching twenty nine. I'm getting to
Speaker 1: the point where it's like, I don't want to waste
Speaker 1: my time. I don't want to waste my time when
Speaker 1: it comes to things that don't really align with me.
Speaker 1: When it comes to work, I don't want to waste
Speaker 1: my time. When it comes to scrolling and watching people's
Speaker 1: lives or like consuming content or beliefs that are don't
Speaker 1: serve me, don't want to do it. I don't want
Speaker 1: to waste time with people, whether that's romantic or even friendships,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So I'm really like recalibrating
Speaker 1: all of that as well and really thinking about where
Speaker 1: can I best spend my time in my energy. And
Speaker 1: sometimes that looks like taking a rest, Sometimes that looks
Speaker 1: like not rushing the process. My time, Your time, it's precious.
Speaker 1: Remember that and get clear with how you want your
Speaker 1: life to be, because if you don't, it will not
Speaker 1: only pass you by, but you'll just be burning yourself out,
Speaker 1: because what you will continue to do is strive and
Speaker 1: try and hit and achieve goals and change your life
Speaker 1: because you're a human being. So since that's built in
Speaker 1: within you and you're going to do that regardless, you
Speaker 1: might as well do it long term. You might as
Speaker 1: well be smart with your time. You might as well
Speaker 1: do it the right way. You might as well instead
Speaker 1: of trying to skip all of the understanding the content
Speaker 1: and getting right to the answer, dive into the content,
Speaker 1: listen to it, digest it, give yourself a moment to
Speaker 1: be embodied, and then you will find you will become
Speaker 1: that person that's on your Pinterest board. You will become
Speaker 1: the persons on your mood board, your vision board, or whatever,
Speaker 1: the person that you dream about every single day. And
Speaker 1: I'm living proof of that. I do that every single
Speaker 1: season of my life essentially, So I am gonna be
Speaker 1: doing that again this season, and I'm gonna.
Speaker 2: Be right here with you guys.
Speaker 1: I am excited to see what podcast episodes that will
Speaker 1: be coming out of this new season of life. I
Speaker 1: am experiencing life, which means there's going to be new
Speaker 1: things that I can bring to you guys. In a
Speaker 1: few episodes to come, I would actually like to touch
Speaker 1: on self trust and self esteem and self image. So
Speaker 1: if any of those topics feel relevant to you or
Speaker 1: you're interested in, you can either leave on the Spotify
Speaker 1: like little comment section what you want to like kind
Speaker 1: of hear and any sort of like questions in regards
Speaker 1: to those topics, and or on YouTube if you're watching
Speaker 1: on YouTube, leave a comment and let me know what
Speaker 1: you want, because I feel like I get a lot
Speaker 1: of questions and I did recently get a question when
Speaker 1: it comes to self trust, and I really want to
Speaker 1: dive into it, like deeply, and I want you to
Speaker 1: really understand what it means to actually be somebody who
Speaker 1: deeply trusts themselves. And look at your time and your
Speaker 1: energy and your body and your mind and your soul
Speaker 1: and your everything is precious. Okay, that is what I
Speaker 1: want you to focus on in this next chapter of
Speaker 1: your life. So I hope you guys enjoyed and I'll
Speaker 1: see you guys in the next one.
Speaker 2: Bye.
