Speaker 1: Welcome to Shine, Delusion, Shine, the radical art of dreaming
Speaker 1: beyond boundaries. I am Vicki Todd, and together with Dr. Pat,
Speaker 1: we will learn to push the boundaries of our minds
Speaker 1: to think delusionally and create fertile ground for our big
Speaker 1: dreams to seed, grow, and manifest. Each episode, we will
Speaker 1: gain more ability to think delusionally and cultivate beyond boundaries faith.
Speaker 1: that we can accomplish dreams which seem unreachable. Shine, Delusion,
Speaker 1: Shine is a springboard to believing, dreaming, and thinking beyond
Speaker 1: the ordinary and a catalyst to living a more fulfilling,
Speaker 1: destiny-driven life. You were born with dreams, gifts, and talents
Speaker 1: you are meant to use to make this world brighter.
Speaker 1: Let your delusional dreams shine. It all starts now.
Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, I'm Dr. Patton. I want to tell you,
Speaker 2: we have got a hot one for you right now.
Speaker 2: I want to ask everybody, how many of you out there,
Speaker 2: just for a moment, take a moment, how many of
Speaker 2: you have walked away from something that you are passionate about? Well,
Speaker 2: let me not be that blunt. How many of you
Speaker 2: may be almost like you put it out of your
Speaker 2: memory that you had this passion, this purpose? You know
Speaker 2: what that's like? It's not quite putting out a fire.
Speaker 2: It's like smoldering. It's not quite gone. But today's episode
Speaker 2: is more than that. Quiet quitting your calling. Vicki Todd,
Speaker 2: this is her show. This is a topic that I'm
Speaker 2: telling you, all y'all out there know what we're talking
Speaker 2: about right now. But you're going to hear from Vicki
Speaker 2: on how this insidious topic thing shows up like a
Speaker 2: wart you've had since you were a child and somehow
Speaker 2: ignored until the point it got to be the size
Speaker 2: of a football. Vicki, thank you for this topic today.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about this. What does this mean for you?
Speaker 2: Because it's not just about a job, although it is.
Speaker 2: It could be about anything, relationships. It could be about
Speaker 2: what you like to do for fun. As a matter
Speaker 2: of fact, I'm going through this myself. But I'm not
Speaker 2: going to bring it up at the moment. But why
Speaker 2: did this come up for you? And let's talk about
Speaker 2: this in the context of what this year was to
Speaker 2: be about.
Speaker 1: This topic, it just, it sets me on fire. It's just,
Speaker 1: it's so important. The reason that I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about this today, I was listening to a podcast. It
Speaker 1: was an Oprah podcast. And it was about women who
Speaker 1: are quiet quitting their marriages. And so basically in a nutshell,
Speaker 1: the women that have been in these relationships for a while,
Speaker 1: the women are wanting to evolve and grow and follow
Speaker 1: their gifts and, you know, start rising higher. And their
Speaker 1: husbands aren't wanting to do that. They're wanting to stay
Speaker 1: stable and static and just, you know, the status quo.
Speaker 1: And so these women who were speaking were so miserable
Speaker 1: and afraid and You know, I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 1: What can we do? How can I, you know, get
Speaker 1: him to be pulled along? And they were just quiet
Speaker 1: quitting their marriages, meaning that they're going to stay there
Speaker 1: and just kind of let this happen while trying to
Speaker 1: grow and evolve themselves. And that just really hit me
Speaker 1: because I have been there. You know, I can't, everybody's
Speaker 1: circumstances are different. All I can do is speak on
Speaker 1: my circumstance. But I was there with a marriage that
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't have been in in the first place. And,
Speaker 1: you know, it came along that I had the opportunity
Speaker 1: to go for my doctorate degree and start teaching. And
Speaker 1: that just did not go over well with my spouse
Speaker 1: at the time. And I've had the same experience with
Speaker 1: another romantic relationship with friendships. And we actually learned in
Speaker 1: one of my doctoral classes that it's very common for
Speaker 1: when one person in a relationship wants to grow, wants
Speaker 1: to fly higher. And in this context, in the class,
Speaker 1: of course, it was to go, you know, get more education.
Speaker 1: It's common for the other partner, and I'm sorry, it
Speaker 1: was usually women who are wanting to grow and men
Speaker 1: who are not, but it's common for the other partner
Speaker 1: to try to sabotage And I thought, I so experienced that.
Speaker 1: I was experiencing it during the time I was taking
Speaker 1: that class in the early 2000s. And so the partner
Speaker 1: kind of tries to what is really crab bucket mentality.
Speaker 1: You know, you have all these crabs in a bucket
Speaker 1: and one crab is trying their hardest, you know, to
Speaker 1: get toward the top of the bucket and escape to
Speaker 1: grow higher. And the other crabs keep pulling them back down.
Speaker 1: And it's really kind of a thing of maybe that
Speaker 1: partner is afraid Maybe that partner is saying, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't want life to change. I want things to stay
Speaker 1: as they are right now. Excuse me. Maybe it's that
Speaker 1: the person who's wanting to grow is holding up a
Speaker 1: mirror to that person's face and showing them, reminding them
Speaker 1: that you're not growing. And so they kind of want
Speaker 1: to pull you back down to be at their level.
Speaker 1: And so... quiet quitting and just staying in that relationship,
Speaker 1: I could not do it. I just felt myself shrinking
Speaker 1: into this tiny ball. And I really kind of became
Speaker 1: cowed in the relationship. And so I've heard that with relationships.
Speaker 1: And I've also heard the jobs that generations younger than
Speaker 1: me are kind of quiet quitting their jobs.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I'm sorry. And when you're talking about quiet quitting,
Speaker 2: we need to talk about what quiet quitting means for
Speaker 2: people that don't know. You know, Mama Doris used to say, honey, yeah,
Speaker 2: no one to hold them and no one to fold them.
Speaker 2: What Mama Doris, you know, talked about too, but not
Speaker 2: quite in the same way, is when you're not sure
Speaker 2: about whether you want to hold them and you're not
Speaker 2: sure about whether you want to fold them, what you
Speaker 2: are is she used to say, honey, you're stuck in
Speaker 2: a crease. Oh, that's good. That's Mama Doris. And it
Speaker 2: took us like 40 freaking years to figure out what
Speaker 2: any of that meant because we were living it. But
Speaker 2: quiet quitting is a fascinating term. And we need to
Speaker 2: talk about it because some people have said to me, oh,
Speaker 2: you mean passive aggressive. I said, no, I don't mean that.
Speaker 2: I think we have not defined quiet quitting. And what
Speaker 2: does that mean for you?
Speaker 1: Well, when I was listening to these things and reading
Speaker 1: about the younger generations saying, And they've got a point. Basically,
Speaker 1: younger generations are saying, I want more work-life balance. I
Speaker 1: have to admit, I don't have the greatest balance with work-life. But,
Speaker 1: you know, they're kind of just doing the status quo
Speaker 1: in their jobs where I'm not going to go the extra.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to do what I need to do.
Speaker 1: I'm going to quit at five and go home. Don't
Speaker 1: call me on the weekends. Don't call me after hours.
Speaker 1: And that's not really being involved. Like you're disengaged. And
Speaker 1: so when I think about this in terms of our
Speaker 1: delusional dreams, I knew I had to get out of
Speaker 1: that marriage because I wouldn't be able to grow and
Speaker 1: fly and evolve if I stayed shrunk. I knew when
Speaker 1: I had that job of, you know, university professor, tenured
Speaker 1: chair of my department, 17 years I'd been teaching. And
Speaker 1: I had discovered through meditation that remember, you are on
Speaker 1: this planet to be an artist. Well, I was a
Speaker 1: public relations professor and I tried, I'm not saying this
Speaker 1: flippantly to say, oh yeah, I'll just quit your job.
Speaker 1: I tried for two years to balance being a professor,
Speaker 1: which is a six to seven day a week job
Speaker 1: and trying to fit in art. And my soul was
Speaker 1: literally shriveling, shrinking and dying. And the pain of not
Speaker 1: taking the leap got to be more than the fear.
Speaker 1: And that's what I've heard, you know, the podcast and
Speaker 1: reading about quiet quitting It's really afraid, a fear of
Speaker 1: the unknown, a fear of taking risks and I'll just
Speaker 1: stay where I am. And that just kills me because
Speaker 1: you cannot do that when pursuing your delusional dreams because
Speaker 1: that's not allowing you to be and live your authentic self.
Speaker 1: It's not allowing you to grow the way that you
Speaker 1: need to grow. And like your mother Dora said, you know,
Speaker 1: you're in that crease of, I don't want to go back,
Speaker 1: but I can't go forward right now. And so I'm
Speaker 1: not saying what you want and what you need to do.
Speaker 1: But in my experiences, I had to just leave, leave
Speaker 1: the marriage, leave the job and start over. And it
Speaker 1: was so scary. And I did not take that lightly.
Speaker 1: But I can tell you, you know, being on the
Speaker 1: other side, it hasn't been an easy journey. But I
Speaker 1: cannot imagine staying there and quiet quitting and not developing
Speaker 1: into who I was put on this planet to be. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And you know what I love about that? What we're
Speaker 2: really talking about is we're not just quitting a thing
Speaker 2: or an action. We're quitting on ourselves. Absolutely. That's what
Speaker 2: the quitting is about. And that's the point I think
Speaker 2: we're trying to make today. But, you know, here you are,
Speaker 2: you're understanding that there are some relationships. And I think
Speaker 2: for you, you knew your soul would shrivel up and die.
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. I know that sounds really dramatic, but it
Speaker 1: was absolutely true. I was miserable. And I thought you
Speaker 1: have to You have to take the blind leap of
Speaker 1: faith off of this cliff. No, you don't have a plan. No,
Speaker 1: you don't know what is going to happen. I didn't
Speaker 1: know how I was going to make money. What about
Speaker 1: health care? I knew that my mom was going to
Speaker 1: be so incredibly upset with me. And she was. But
Speaker 1: all of that pain has, you know, I've lived it.
Speaker 1: I've worked through it. I've learned from it. And it's
Speaker 1: turned into this beautiful book that I've written. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: it all is for a purpose. for something. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And let's talk about the book right now. Because, you know,
Speaker 2: what happens when you find your way out of the crevasse,
Speaker 2: or like my mom used to say, the crease, when
Speaker 2: you find your way out of that crease, however you
Speaker 2: do it, you can iron it, you can steam it,
Speaker 2: but somehow you're not creased anymore. You write a book.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the book and the book journey for you. Because,
Speaker 2: you know, I always get asked the question, do you
Speaker 2: think you would have dot, dot, dot, if you would
Speaker 2: have stayed dot, dot, dot? Oh, but Right. And I
Speaker 2: really don't know the answer to that question because I
Speaker 2: always answer it. I have no idea. I just know
Speaker 2: where I am now. So let's talk about where you
Speaker 2: are now, because you have a book coming out. The
Speaker 2: book in itself has been a journey. And let's talk
Speaker 2: about that. Yeah, those words.
Speaker 1: Yes, was the idea of samskara, which I'd read about
Speaker 1: way back there, you know, when I quit my job,
Speaker 1: and I was starting to feel like you think, you know,
Speaker 1: once you finish the book, it'd be like, okay, that
Speaker 1: will be it.
Speaker 2: But no.
Speaker 1: And so I've kind of been experiencing all these things
Speaker 1: coming at me all of a sudden. And it's like,
Speaker 1: there's no time to rest, there's no time to think
Speaker 1: about it, poof, you know, you're being pushed out into
Speaker 1: the media. And so with You know, right now I'm
Speaker 1: in the week of doing the final proofreading. When I
Speaker 1: told the guy that I'm working with for six months
Speaker 1: to do the social media that, oh, you know, the
Speaker 1: publication date is September 22. He kind of freaked out.
Speaker 1: He's like, we've got to start making videos now. So
Speaker 1: in this week of proofreading, he sent me 15 scripts.
Speaker 1: And here's a link to a teleprompter, by the way.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I've never done this before. And so
Speaker 1: we're going to do this next week. Um, there's a
Speaker 1: national publicity summit in October where it's two weeks of
Speaker 1: pitching to the media. And so there's another person who
Speaker 1: will help train me to pitch. And so I've been like,
Speaker 1: and you know, my publisher is like, okay, what book
Speaker 1: festivals are you going to apply for?
Speaker 2: What this, what that?
Speaker 1: And so it has reminded me the Sam scare, Sam
Speaker 1: Scarra feelings, which means, you know, something happened in the
Speaker 1: past that caused these negative feelings. They are buried deep, deep,
Speaker 1: deep inside of you. You think they're long gone. Something
Speaker 1: happens in the current present tense.
Speaker 2: It may not be.
Speaker 1: Exactly the same, but those feelings start bubbling up. I
Speaker 1: started having the same feelings as when the late 1990s,
Speaker 1: early 2000s, I got divorced. I'm going back for my
Speaker 1: doctorate degree. I'm feeling really victimized. Everything is just really
Speaker 1: coming at me. You can't get off the train because
Speaker 1: you have to finish your degree. You have to go interview.
Speaker 1: You have to get a job. And I remember telling
Speaker 1: a friend at the time, I want to just get
Speaker 1: off this merry-go-round for a while. It's going too fast
Speaker 1: and I feel overwhelmed. Well, these same feelings have come
Speaker 1: up with all these things with what are you going
Speaker 1: to do with the book type of thing. And so
Speaker 1: it helps me to define it. It's like, what are
Speaker 1: you feeling and why? And I'm like, that's the same feeling,
Speaker 1: but time out, sister, because... this is your dream. You
Speaker 1: don't want to get off this merry-go-round this time. So
Speaker 1: how can I take those feelings where I'm starting to
Speaker 1: feel a little victimized again and negative, how can I
Speaker 1: turn that around and say, okay, I'm not getting off
Speaker 1: the merry-go-round. How can I react to this in a
Speaker 1: different way?
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 1: I was reading the Sean Aker book. He's one of
Speaker 1: the happiness and positivity researchers. And he had a great tactic.
Speaker 1: It's so simple. He said, it's okay to admit I'm overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: This is too much coming at me.
Speaker 2: I'm tired.
Speaker 1: You know, where's my break type of thing. It's okay
Speaker 1: to admit that. But he said, add a strategic positive
Speaker 1: addendum onto it. So I can say, you know, I
Speaker 1: am totally overwhelmed. All of these people are wanting to
Speaker 1: do me to do all these things that I haven't
Speaker 1: done in 11 years. And, you know, I've been basically
Speaker 1: a hermit for the past year and a half writing
Speaker 1: this book. And now you're pushing me out into the
Speaker 1: media and I have to pitch really quickly. Oh, well,
Speaker 1: my addendum is thank you for all of these divine
Speaker 1: connection people who are helping me, training me to grow
Speaker 1: higher more than I could on my own. And so
Speaker 1: that has, you know, I can just feel joy bubbling
Speaker 1: up in my heart when I say that. And like
Speaker 1: not having a quote unquote public job for 11 years because,
Speaker 1: you know, I quit my professor job in 2015. The
Speaker 1: one thing that popped into my mind, I'm so thankful
Speaker 1: that we started doing this podcast because this came along
Speaker 1: and we started in January 25. Thank God we've been
Speaker 1: doing this for a year and a half because this
Speaker 1: is live and you have to be, you know, on it.
Speaker 1: If I hadn't been doing that, I would be freaking out.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like, you know, Maya Angelou used
Speaker 1: to say, when there's a storm, say thank you, because
Speaker 1: there's a rainbow in the clouds. So that's basically what
Speaker 1: Sean Aker is saying. Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, it's so interesting you brought that up, because
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about this, because it
Speaker 2: gets us to the place of, you know, some of
Speaker 2: the conversations that I'm having with people. They don't always
Speaker 2: say the word overwhelmed, but clearly that's what's happening for them.
Speaker 2: And You know, what happens is the idea of actually
Speaker 2: doing a show like this and how this can benefit
Speaker 2: somebody who actually has a lofty dream that is not
Speaker 2: going to manifest for a year. And I like to
Speaker 2: call it, this is a training wheel playground for your
Speaker 2: future visibility. You know, some people are already visible and
Speaker 2: they want to do a show because of whatever reasons.
Speaker 2: But out of everybody we've had, nobody is more visible
Speaker 2: than you. When you started this at the beginning, you
Speaker 2: are actually painting on air.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And people, I didn't want to do that.
Speaker 2: I know you didn't.
Speaker 1: And I literally said, hell no, that that was coming
Speaker 1: from a place of fear. And so, you know, you said, well,
Speaker 1: maybe you should think about why you had such a strong, rude,
Speaker 1: visceral reaction to that. But, you know, I did it,
Speaker 1: and it was great. And every show you do, tell
Speaker 1: people what's behind you. See, people may not know that
Speaker 1: when you show up, this is your art. Yes. That's
Speaker 1: not a prop. No. So when I quit my job
Speaker 1: in 2015, that was my goal was to become an artist,
Speaker 1: and I was doing expressive female portraits. My sculptures, this
Speaker 1: is a half part deer, part female body. I didn't
Speaker 1: start sculpting until 2018. And I found out, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things that kept coming up.
Speaker 1: I know it was a seed in my heart. I
Speaker 1: never thought I would be a sculptor. And I kept thinking,
Speaker 1: try it, try it, try it. And I did, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Good at it.
Speaker 1: So, you know, it's these little God seeds, you know,
Speaker 1: they've been planted in you and they don't all sprout
Speaker 1: at once. But, you know, take that. And that's one
Speaker 1: thing I love in Sean Aker's book, He has these
Speaker 1: seven beliefs that are core beliefs. And one of them
Speaker 1: is there's something greater than me. And you know that
Speaker 1: I love this because I depend so much on my
Speaker 1: higher power for me that's got to follow through on
Speaker 1: this journey. But they have actual scientific academic research where
Speaker 1: even one of his co-workers at Harvard who doesn't believe
Speaker 1: in anything higher than him, he's like, yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: good point. That would work. One of the things was
Speaker 1: that not only does it give you longevity and, you know,
Speaker 1: better social connections and happiness in your own life, but
Speaker 1: it also having this belief in a higher benevolent, loving power,
Speaker 1: this bigger source that wants you to do well, it
Speaker 1: gives us more of a sense of a control because
Speaker 1: we're not doing life on our own and we can
Speaker 1: tap into that supernatural power. And so simple things, you know,
Speaker 1: he said regular acts, and I think that's the key
Speaker 1: is regular acts, prayer, meditation, yoga, walking in nature, viewing art,
Speaker 1: doing art, you know, helping others. All of that helps
Speaker 1: what Sean Aker calls the four horsemen of the modern world, burnout, anxiety, loneliness, depression.
Speaker 1: Those things make you want to quiet quit. And so
Speaker 1: if you feel like no, because I mean, trust me,
Speaker 1: along this journey, I've been like, is this even worth
Speaker 1: it at some points? But it's always that prompt to
Speaker 1: keep going, keep going. Doors will open. Resources will come.
Speaker 1: You know, the right people will pop up. And so
Speaker 1: I've just kept following that quiet, you know, little breadcrumb trail.
Speaker 1: And here we are, you know. And so I think
Speaker 1: that's such an important thing is to tap into that
Speaker 1: higher power. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it's so critically important, but let's talk about
Speaker 2: it in the context of your book, because there have
Speaker 2: to be times where you felt all of the above. Now,
Speaker 2: we've mentioned the book. What can people expect about the book?
Speaker 2: When is it coming?
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. We finally have a confirmed publication date. Tuesday,
Speaker 1: September 22 is the first day of autumn. And it
Speaker 1: just felt really like a great date for me. And
Speaker 1: so Tuesday, September 22, the book is called Shine Happy Shine,
Speaker 1: a mystical memoir of art, destiny, and a tenacious mother-daughter bond.
Speaker 1: And to celebrate the publication, I am having an art raffle.
Speaker 1: So if you go to my website, shinehappyshine.com, sign up
Speaker 1: for my email list to be entered in the art raffle.
Speaker 1: There's also an art raffle tab on the website. It
Speaker 1: will give you all the details of how it works.
Speaker 1: But there are 32 of my paintings, the painting behind
Speaker 1: me is the cover art and at the beginning of
Speaker 1: each chapter and some of my body prints from my
Speaker 1: one woman show and some other you know, portraits that
Speaker 1: I've done throughout the years. And so you can, there's
Speaker 1: a link where you can preview all of the paintings
Speaker 1: that are available. And so after I'll probably wait a
Speaker 1: week or two to make sure that, you know, people
Speaker 1: can really sign up. I'll select a random winner and
Speaker 1: contact you and you can select which painting you want.
Speaker 1: And I will have created an eight inch by 10
Speaker 1: inch full color fine art archival print and send it
Speaker 1: to you. So please sign up by I want to celebrate.
Speaker 2: I love it. I want to thank you for doing that.
Speaker 2: I want to just kind of bring this full circle
Speaker 2: with another story you have. And it's about the audio book,
Speaker 2: because how many times have I, I grew up with
Speaker 2: mama Doris who never believed in quitting. So that's another show,
Speaker 2: but we get to the point where this idea of
Speaker 2: quiet quitting is a little bit more insidious. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? It's not like you wake
Speaker 2: up one day and say, I'm going to quit smoking.
Speaker 2: It really isn't like that. It's a series of facts
Speaker 2: or attitudes or beliefs that could happen over a period
Speaker 2: of time where when you get sort of to the
Speaker 2: tail end of that snake, what happens is you've already
Speaker 2: quietly quit and you don't even realize it. So tell
Speaker 2: us about the audiobook, Discovery.
Speaker 1: Well, I was talking to my publisher because we've been
Speaker 1: meeting just about every week. And, you know, the book
Speaker 1: is going to be in print and also an e-book.
Speaker 1: And she said, well, maybe you could do an audio book.
Speaker 1: And so she went out and researched here in New
Speaker 1: Mexico where I could find an audio book producer. And
Speaker 1: so since my book is a little bit over 80,000
Speaker 1: words and they do by hour, And she was telling
Speaker 1: me the cost of it. And I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not really sure about that. And you know,
Speaker 1: I asked her to rank print versus ebook versus audio
Speaker 1: and audio kind of came later. And so I was thinking, well,
Speaker 1: maybe that's not for me. The very next day, I
Speaker 1: get an email from the New Mexico Book Association. And
Speaker 1: they're having a workshop in October, a lady from here
Speaker 1: in Santa Fe, who is a narrator and a producer
Speaker 1: of audio books. And I was like, And that's how
Speaker 1: I find my higher power. It's like these little pokes.
Speaker 1: Look again, look again, look again. And so I'm going
Speaker 1: to do the workshop and then maybe invite this lady
Speaker 1: to coffee in person and see where that goes. And
Speaker 1: so that's what I love about, you know, this, this
Speaker 1: source with a capital S.
Speaker 2: The universe, God.
Speaker 1: You know, is saying, look, again, I want you to
Speaker 1: do this. Here's maybe a different opportunity. And maybe if
Speaker 1: we're in the same group, you know, this New Mexico
Speaker 1: Book Association, maybe there's a discount. I don't know. But,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm very willing to go look into that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But you see, you know, I love to call
Speaker 2: them following the breadcrumbs, right? And the thing that I've
Speaker 2: learned about following the breadcrumbs, especially since yesterday, I had
Speaker 2: to go get something out of my eye. is you
Speaker 2: have to be aware enough to look for the breadcrumbs.
Speaker 2: So you hadn't shut down, you could not shut down
Speaker 2: to the point where you weren't going to see that.
Speaker 2: And isn't that part of the message? It's not only
Speaker 2: about your beliefs, it's don't shut down your soul energy.
Speaker 1: Well, I had so many opportunities to shut down and
Speaker 1: quiet quit. Like I said, my husband wasn't happy at
Speaker 1: the time. My mom, after I quit my job, oh
Speaker 1: my God, we fought and fought and fought. And that's
Speaker 1: what the book is about. But now I've got this
Speaker 1: wonderful story about our relationship that was reconciled, you know,
Speaker 1: after she died, but you know, she's my biggest cheerleader now.
Speaker 1: And so, you know, coworkers saying, are you crazy? Are
Speaker 1: you having a midlife crisis? And so there's so many
Speaker 1: different times I could have said, oh, you're right. Okay.
Speaker 1: But I didn't. And to me, part of that strength
Speaker 1: is that higher power that keeps pulling me along the trail.
Speaker 1: So don't quiet quit. So as I was writing this,
Speaker 1: I was like, let's loud shine, not quiet quit. Because
