Got it, got it. Hello.
Hello and good morning, good afternoon.
Good evening. And I have to close my window,
sorry. All right, so good.
I am now in like the fourth spot in my apartment setting up my
podcasting little little space. I've I've set it up different
every single time we've recorded since I moved because I don't
have a desk chair. So right now I moved my plants,
I moved my candles and decorations and I'm using my
side tables in front of my window and sitting crisscross
applesauce in front of the window experimentation.
Yeah. Carly's a little more setup.
You have your space now but you were doing this for a while.
When you moved, ya know, I've been all over the place too.
It's fun to witness the evolution of your own space to
because I mean, for me. Yes.
Okay, I'm a bit more setup than Alexis is because I have a desk
and I have a Are actually have a kneeling chair.
I love kneeling chairs. By the way, I just looked those
up on Amazon because when I was visiting you, I used yours all
the time and I loved it. And so I might actually get one
of those instead of a desk chair.
Hmm, it's got. It is nice to have a desk chair
because sometimes like your legs get kind of funny feeling, I
don't know, but yeah, I do love them but what I like with this
evolution of space, it's I don't know.
Maybe this is kind of just us being creative people as well.
Like very, we're all creative of being liked Extra creative
outwardly, like, my spaces are never done.
Like I'm like, oh, but I want this desk, I'm on to be like my
art making desk, and then I need to get another desk or just my
computer because I don't like that.
My computer is in the same space as where I do art.
We keep joking that look like Carly has so many different
interests. And her mom has the Casal a The
Farmhouse. And there's so many different
rooms. And so having a different room
for each type of project, is totally something that I could
see her doing. Yep.
Animation and each each room. It's room is a different
activity. No, I completely agree.
I've had a vision of my bedroom in this apartment since I took a
tour and it was empty and I just hung up the pictures that I,
that I picked out the artwork and I love them cute.
I can see them just a little bit in your, I'm obsessed with them.
I love them but I got them up on the wall and I took a step back
and was like, it's not done yet. I thought that I was just going
to my room put together and these pictures were going to
like complete the look and now I'm like dang it.
Like there's more. I want to add.
This isn't done yet. Yeah, I feel like that's been
something that over the years has caused.
I've allowed caused me a lot of stress, but it's also, it's
become such a beautiful thing for me now because it's the very
accurate Testament to us as humans, like we're never ever
done growing and evolving and changing.
Using and I love our teacher through this.
Seth why yoga that? We're going to I'm leaving in a
less than a week. You guys this is by the time
this is out. I'm going to be there.
Probably actually for my training but he always says and
this is very Eastern philosophy in general but if you are not
evolving, if you are not growing, if you're not changing
your dead like because life is changed, life is evolution.
And I think I've had a hard time with this concept because I am
constantly like very visibly changing in terms of even the
things I want to do the things I am doing.
And for a lot of people that's not acceptable in our society,
kind of need to stick to things and go through them but it's no,
I'm really growing my appreciation for it because it's
it its life. I think that it's become that
way because people are making themselves into Brands.
And it's so easy for a brand to be a brand because it's a thing,
it's not a person, it doesn't have Consciousness to change.
And so we're seeing people make themselves into Brands and put
them into themselves into these little pockets of this is who I
am. This is who people expect me to
be now, because they're following me, because this is
the type of content that I put out.
This is the type of person I am. And so you're trying to box in a
personality and a Consciousness that supposed to be Evolving
into a brand concept that doesn't evolve and it just
doesn't work. And then, then it can be hard to
Pivot when you're trying to Market yourself as a person and
not everyone is doing this but I think a lot of people do it in
different ways. Even just if your family and
friends, know you to be a certain person, that's your own
type of brand box. Like, this is a type of person.
I am like, I felt like I was the straight-A student who was very
logical and had a life plan and Was following, whatever path I
thought I had to. And then when I decided to quit
and travel, it was like, oh no, I'm rebranding, I'm like
becoming a different person, like there's different chapters
of your life, which this goes right into the topic that I
wanted to talk about today. And Carly actually doesn't know
the topic because I thought it would be more fun to naturally
talk about it and maybe we should just start doing things
this way. Like you bring a topic and I can
bring a topic. And yeah that's like really
letting it flow. Yeah, I think we should we
should More often. But okay, I was watching a TV
show on apple. Plus it just came up as a little
trailer and I had caught up on all my other episodes and so I
needed a filler show, you know, you know how it is.
So it's called the, the big door prize.
Hmm. And I was like, I don't know, I
don't know, looks like fine, it'll fill my evening, whatever.
And the concept of it is that there's this little town.
And there's a local grocery store that suddenly Has this
machine show up? Nobody knows where it came from,
has a big butterfly on it. It's blue.
It looks futuristic. And it says discover your
potential, and for two dollars, you go in there, type in your
information, it scans. Your hands and be like, does all
it, whatever it does. And spits out a card at you.
And the people take it and it says, this is your potential and
you pull the card out and it has your potential on it.
So someone pulls there's out and it says hero, Well, it's like a
high school kid and he's like, how the fuck am I hero?
Doesn't get it. There's a mom, who's been living
the Suburban life, who pulls her eyes out and it says royalty.
Well, what does that mean? Like how could I have ever it
was I supposed to marry a royal? But am I like, what?
Like so everyone starts questioning their lives because
this thing spits out their potential and they're like, well
I'm not living anything close to whatever this says like I'm not
a magician I'm not a meteorologist, I'm not a
scientist. I'm not a an astronaut like it.
Start spitting out these cards at them.
Like this is what you could be. So everybody's thinking like, oh
I need to be this thing now. Like I'm not living the right
life. I'm not doing this, right?
I totally messed up and I took my life in the wrong direction.
What if, what if what if and it's such a crazy concept?
Because all the people in this town, suddenly start changing
their lives. All this, they all at the same
time and it seems like everyone's losing their mind
because they all just suddenly realized that they have choice
and that they could take their life in a different direction.
So it it's a really A cool show so far.
It's releasing episodes every Wednesday so I only watched the
first three. It's not all released yet, but I
just thought the concept was really awesome and just
discussing potential because like you said, people are trying
so hard to find their thing and be one thing, but there's so
many different things you can be.
And like are you trying to reach your one?
Like there's not. Is there one potential?
Like people say, I want to reach my full potential but what?
What is that? Because I think each phase of
your life. Has a different potential.
Hmm, I relate to this a lot because I feel it's a different
way to say very much what I have been really letting go of the
past six months, really, really focusing on letting go and
working through, what about me is wanting to hold on to these
things? Is that fact of like, What am I
going to do? What am I doing with my life?
What am I? What kind of person am I going
to be in terms of career and stuff?
Because that's always the question from the time, where so
little, it's like, what are you going to be when you grow up,
when you gonna be end, I, I'm so thankful for this journey for
many, many, many reasons. But what if when I always say,
like, if I meant to have children in this life, I really
don't want to ask that question in that way.
Because what you're doing in this life and this is the
realization. I've really embodying and
grounding in myself right now. Is that whatever you're doing?
It's not about what you do. It's about how you do it and The
most important thing is that you are doing whatever you're doing,
whether that be literally making your bed in the morning or
making coffee for your partner, or your friend, or you're going
out to the grocery, get groceries.
Or you're going to your 9 to 5 job or to your freelance gig
like, no matter what it is, as long as you're doing it
authentically, it really, I don't know for me this is what
I'm realizing, it doesn't matter what I do.
It really doesn't as long as in every moment.
And I'm doing what I am truly being called to do.
It's leaning me, and it's leading me somewhere.
And I think this past year. I know I've talked about this
many times. It's been a very relevant topic
for me, the past months, but I I just was forcing myself so much
to try to figure it out. Figure out what I was doing box
myself in which I didn't even realize I was boxing myself in
until I kind of had a breakdown was like, oh my god, I've been
going so many parts of myself and in that realization I was
like I don't mean I'm I'm so tired.
I'm so tired of trying to figure out what I am because what I am
and what we all are is Us like, it's Carly.
It's my being just me in every moment, doesn't matter.
Like i-i've actually really lost interest in even asking people
what they do because I'm like, I don't give a shit.
I really don't give a flying fuck what people do, it's who
are you? Who are you?
And what are you feeling like you desire to express in this
life? And that's Becoming this like
really big theme and I don't know.
It's this like freedom in myself that I'm solely feeling come and
I've had a couple things come to me in the last like, even just
24 hours but not just that other things and that are coming about
and I'm like, wow, like I literally did not need to worry
about a single thing, a single thing, there's another part of
the show. We're one of the people that
goes and gets their potential spit out at them, it spits out
exactly what they're doing. He's a high school teacher and
it says, his potential is teacher.
I'm not ruining any apart of the show, by the way, you guys, it
goes so much deeper than this. Definitely go watch it.
But it spits out what he is and it's like he was hoping to get
something else and then it spit out what he is and then he then
he went through, you know the emotions of is wait.
Is as good as my life can get. It's such a weird, weird
concept. Like some people are getting
some crazy like Superstar and then he gets exactly what he is.
And so then you can either take that as a no I'm like pursuing
what I meant to pursue or not. That this machine is supposed to
dictate that. This is a whole like, weird
concept because some people are like, letting this machine
dictate their lives, which we could get in a discussion of how
like how that is society. Like the machine is the ID.
Um, but yeah, it's like some people are being spit out.
These things that are so aspirational and out of the
blue, like how am I a superstar, how am I royalty?
And then what he gets is exactly what he is and he's like, how am
I not meant for anything better? It's kind of up comparison
versus down comparison. It's it's such a cool concept
for a show but it has so much symbolism in it and I think a
lot of people get into their boxes of trying to reach their
Highest Potential and then trying to figure out What their
purpose is what they're meant to do, so say they become a doctor,
or a teacher, or a lawyer or like they follow that path and
like, that is your passion amazing.
But you're not just going to like get there and feel like
school. I made it.
I'm going to do this for 50 years and then died like because
you're a conscious being in, you're always meant to be
changing. Like you're not going to get the
to that point this thing. And I kind of mentioned is to
be, brought it up again. Just trying to figure it out,
it's just so A funny because like, how many of you listening
have thought I can't you every single present multiple times a
day, even get into that spiral downward of like questioning
like what to do and then oh my God, what am I doing with
myself? Maybe I could do that and maybe
that above about new, just get into your thinking brain, so
much. And then you come out of this
session, may be temporarily feeling like you figured it out.
This is a very much my story. Temporarily feeling like, oh
yeah. Okay, I got it.
I logic to my way out of this and then a couple days later
this same, exact thing comes around and you go spiraling down
inside your brain and then you logic your way out of it and
then it's just our brain. I'm gonna end up saying this in
like every single episode of our podcast, but the brain, the mind
is a wonderful servant but it is a horrible Master like its life
is not Oil, like the nature of life.
When we tried a logical eyes it, I just made up a word.
It doesn't make sense like and that's so beautiful and we tried
I think so much we try. And this is kind of a part of
it, that makes this beautiful human.
We try to like make it in so many ways less than it is life.
And It's it just kind of makes everything more difficult than
it needs to be and then week then that brings in when we're
when we're trying to figure a way out of the states were in
and we're trying to think as to what we want to do with
ourselves in the world. It's a beautiful question.
Absolutely. But it's like, what we want to
do outside of our who we are. And that's where this question.
I'm the deeper question of like getting spit this thing out and
having it completely. Spin your world upside down or
make you question like, shit. This is all I'm here to do like,
oh, really? That like, puts all of this
power to this machine. That's trying of society.
Basically, that's trying to control and and tell you what to
do with yourself. And then I think that adds so
much more questioning and, and ups and downs in our lives.
Whereas, We can just take the time to really understand like
who, who we really truly are without any of that outside
stuff and then start to go outside and create what's within
us. I don't know.
Yeah. Exactly.
And then just following what you're interested in and
allowing yourself to be creative and to go after the things that
you like to do because how often like there's so many different
thoughts of popped up while you were talking.
First one, how boring would it be if you reached your whatever
birthday and a card popped out at you and I said this is what
you're doing for the rest of your life like that's so boring
and but that's what everyone is looking for.
People are looking for someone to just hand them an answer key
to life but that defeats the purpose and the fun of it.
And I feel like the last couple years of my life.
I've really tried to embrace the surprise and allowing myself.
Off to be surprised and delighted by life and what it
throws at me and traveling really helped with that because
you can't control everything. And so I put myself in
experiences where I was not necessarily in control so that I
had to roll with the punches and go with the flow and that really
helped me a lot because I did not operate that way.
I wasn't raised to be that way I wasn't around people that were
that way and so that took practice for me.
But also So I think another interesting thing about this
show is just that it gives people a card that says,
something that was either a deep desire of theirs that they
pushed down and pushed away. Or it's something they never
even thought of and they just didn't realize they had the
option. And I think that's the case.
For a lot of people is either like you have your interest, and
you don't let yourself do them because it doesn't make sense or
people will judge it like especially if it's something.
If I have to say like putting your artwork out there is is
risky, like you can get judgment.
You can you know, get criticism as he's going to like a
communication of like something deep within.
It's like so personal. It is so personal, like, even
even this podcast. I mean, it took us a little bit
to be like, oh my gosh, are we going to make this?
Are we gonna do this, who's gonna listen, what are they
going to stay? And honestly it like it's been
fine. Most of the time, the things
that are happening in your head are things that you're saying to
yourself. First of all, we're not going to
get into to the subconscious. But the thing is that you assume
that you assume people are going to say about you are things that
you're ultimately saying to yourself.
So, definitely dig in on that. But it's also like spitting out
this card having a different potential written on their
showed people that they have choice and I think a lot of
people get trapped in their careers is a lot of people
switching careers. There's like the great
resignation, people are calling it and I think Millennials and
gen Z. Especially are really stepping
out of the idea that there's a career.
You're supposed to chase, which I love, I think we're really
starting to accept that. You can have multiple lives in
one Lifetime and in different careers and there's been a real
or a Tick-Tock going around with kind of text over it.
And it's usually someone traveling.
And it's like, how am I supposed to choose a life when I want to
be a dancer? I want to be a world traveler,
but I also am really pulled to new.
Orc and having a career. And but I also want a family but
I also want to live off the grid.
And who says you can't do all of those things you can't do all of
them may be at the same time because feasibly that doesn't
make sense. But I mean, when I think about
it I have been the type, a high school girl.
In my in just my lifetime type a high school.
Girl. I've been the party college,
girl. I've been an apparel apparel.
Yes, I have. Okay, we'll go.
No, we're not getting into that. She's gone, thank you.
Um, she pops out once in a while, you know, if the time is
right. But you know, and then I like
I've I did a corporate internship.
So I had that experience, I've been in apparel designer, I've
been a Solo Traveler and within that.
I'm also like a daughter, a sister, a friend, you know,
there's all these different labels to and experiences but
those are different chapters. And now I am going to experience
something else in this new job that I have in and coming back
to the the city. And so, this is another chapter
and there's this one scene that really triggered me to like,
talk about this today and bring the something conversation,
because there's this one scene where the teacher, who is he was
so upset at his card and he just went to talk to somebody about
it and he's like, I already did my potential like my parents
moved from another country, we came here and you know, I got a
job and I'm really happy and like that was, that was my big
move on. I'm done with my big moves, like
I'm happy where I'm at and the guy just responds.
So, do you think good books? Only have two chapters?
And that was that such a truth bomb because I think all a lot
of society is telling us to look for like the next the chapter
like you're trying to get to that spot and and then you're
going to do that for a long time and then you're going to be
satisfied. And so your story only has two
chapters. When in reality, if you do want
to like go after the career and then maybe that career ends or
it's time to leave, like that's a After then you're a world
traveler awesome then maybe you meet like you meet someone that
introduces you to your next thing or then you decide to be
an artist when you're an elderly woman.
Like there's so many people not end, there's no end and the best
lives have a lot of chapters. There's this older woman who
passed away a few years ago but she was kind of like a grandma
to me. And she was the coolest person
to talk to because every time you sat down to talk to her.
She had a different story. I was like, wait, we wait, you
Planes. When did you do that to you?
Like, I don't know. I just felt like learning it one
time. So, so, yeah.
I was a pilot for a while and I'm like, what?
She just decided one day and did it.
And she had so many stories like that.
Whereas, she just yeah, I was curious.
So I tried it. And then she has the story and
it's a chapter of her life. And I think those are the most
interesting people, and it also makes your life feel long.
Hmm. Like filled up.
Yeah, if life is flying by and I was thinking saying this to this
popped in my head when I was driving the other day because I
was texting somebody and they said, oh my gosh how is it
almost April the first three months have really flown by and
I've noticed that in the three months that I was traveling and
I went to multiple States. Multiple national parks.
I was exhausted. And those three months were so
long, but when you're not really doing much and you're just
letting the day's flight Float by time, moves really fast.
So to me, Al the longer you want your life to be.
You just do more things. I think there's a lot of people
that die young but live a longer life than 80 year old person.
Absolutely. I love I just but I just went on
a tangent of a lot of different topics but it was flowing that
and I think like what came from that for me during that was how
fascinating it is that I think every single person can look
back and see things that they once really loved.
And once really enjoyed, and probably had that feeling of
like this, Is it? I found it and then three years
ago by maybe just the year, maybe for me, maybe like five
days and then I'm like, okay, let's go.
This isn't bringing me as much joy as it once was, it's not
feeling as good. My my partner's going through
this Francesco is going through this right now with a job at
situation and he's like, I will used to love what I did and
there can be distrained sense of guilt a little bit.
Out this change coming and being like oh why don't I love?
And it's because we're growing we're changing and that's so
exciting. And also, one thing I wanted to
say to is I'm just kind of giggling at myself too because
something I really seen with myself through this last year,
is this contradiction in me? Of how since I can remember the
thought of doing something. One thing for the rest of my
life, like I saw many family members do and there's nothing
wrong with that. If it gives you Joy and it
brings you to life, there are people who are so passionate
about something and they just flow through life with it and,
you know, maybe evolve a little bit within that maybe do a bit
different jobs within a company or something.
That's beautiful. But for me, I saw a lot of
people doing that but actually being miserable and not happy.
They would live every week. Just to get to the weekend and
then Sunday night would come around.
And they were just depressed that they had to go to work in
the morning. And that's no freaking way to
live. And so growing up from that time
that I started to notice that I just like the thought of doing
something like that, for the rest of my life.
Literally would just bring me waves of anxiety.
And then I realized, Suddenly that they're going through
school and through college and kind of being taught like,
what's your career going to be? What are you going to do?
How are you going to make money? All of these things, I started
looking for that one thing and I wanted to find that one thing
even though at the same time, I was like horrified at the
thought of doing one thing and so big part of my journey and I
feel like also you can probably relate to this to Alexis is just
You know, being accepting the fact and being okay, with not
having an answer to those questions that other people ask
and not even having that answer for you because that's not even
an answer that I want to have. That comes from people, pleasing
a lot in which if you're not aware of it, I don't think you
just say, yes, I'm a people pleaser, but once you really get
into, I don't know self reflection and personal growth,
it can be clearly identified and when he will I'll ask those
questions like oh where are you going to go to college or what's
your future plans? What are you going to go to
school for you? Feel like you have to have an
answer especially when I'm thinking back to high school,
when your friends have an answer or like your friend's parents
want to know what you're doing and you know that your answer
reflects on your parents and like, there's just this whole
thing and maybe that's a me thing.
Maybe someone listening relates, but I was always very hyper
aware of what my actions did to impact.
My family, my friends and people around me, I was very aware of
that and also aware of my reputation and like, just being
a good student. And so I just felt like I had to
have an answer. I honestly cannot remember how I
chose Apparel Design. It makes no sense, logical sense
at all how I got into that, but God bless my parents that they
supported me through it and like, never questioned it and I
never questioned it just amazing.
But what's like? I like I just felt like I had to
have an answer and so then I getting to the end of college
like I was passionate about apparel like I loved it.
Carly can even attest this. Like we all really loved it
freshman year at some people dropped out, but like those of
us who stuck with it, we had love for parts of it, but as we
got two senior year, you could start to see that.
Okay? Three years have gone by now.
You're really getting a feel for what you're doing and the thing
that you chose and It felt like God I committed so much time to
this already. I can't imagine switching.
What would that even be like? That sounds risky.
That sounds scary. I don't know what to expect.
I never even saw it as a potential to change paths and if
I could go back and recreate what I did like, I'd probably go
to school for kinesiology Fitness, holistic Wellness,
something like that instead, but that wouldn't have had an
answer. That would have been confusing.
I would have gotten questions and I wanted to avoid questions
because I felt like I found The answer and I didn't want to
stray from the answer that I thought made sense, you know, he
just, I don't know where we don't.
I think we should normalize not having an answer like it had my
Vita. Oh gosh, this is reminding me.
I made it. One of the first realize that I
posted, when I started on this bike.
I'm going to be a coach. Okay, it actually like like had
a lot of interactions with it was just like my heart warm,
because it was really speaking to a lot of people.
But But I think I said also, on this little while ago, it's so
funny because sometimes I look back at my videos that I made
and I'm, like, holy shit. This is like past Carly
coaching. Current Carly with future
Carly's knowledge. I was like, what the hell is
time time does not exist. Time is a construct of the human
mind. It was so funny, though.
Because this video is all about, like, I don't know is a
perfectly acceptable. Answer that isn't an answer.
I think we think that we've got in our head that this answer has
to be like, mathematical or like yes or no, or like, have an
exact thing that you say to like satisfy the question that the
questioner and I'm like, no, I don't know is a perfectly,
perfectly perfectly. Okay response.
And it's funny because this is coming full.
I'm realizing This is coming full circle for me right now
because the last couple nights I've had just a knife like with
myself I am had this like thoughts come to me of being
questions like what are you doing?
Just being like, I don't know, you know and I don't know and I
freaking love it and I've never felt so peaceful because I'm
okay with not knowing like what a novel idea, right?
With all of the Tools at our fingertips it's like Google it.
I don't know Google, it ask somebody figure it out.
We don't ever really sit and question anymore.
I think about how before phones and all that people used to sit
around the dinner table and actually debate a topic and
talk. I feel like very rarely do I go
out to dinner and we actually talk about something that
matters or do. We talk like debate on something
or share opinions on something? It's like either everyone agrees
on the solution. Or someone Google's it and prove
someone wrong. And then the conversation is
done good for society right now. Yeah, it like there's no room
for nuance in a lot of our conversations and in our lives,
people are like, oh, you went to school for this.
You figured it out. You should do this.
This is your job. This is what the application
says, and this is what you do, and you go do it.
And for a lot of people, that's just how it makes sense, which
provides security. And it's a lot of ways like
people are always searching for safety security, that's the base
of the Muslims. Hierarchy of needs.
You need that first and so at the root of everything, if
you're scared to do something, if you're scared to open a new
chapter of your life, it's because your subconscious is
searching for Safety and Security and as long as you
know, that you can make anything feel safe and secure like And
you need deciding to move. I was terrified.
I'm like, well, what if this falls through what like, my
roommate actually has to move. I'm in a two-bedroom apartment,
she has to move. I definitely cannot afford it by
myself, but I'm like, you know what?
If like, then I get to look for, then I get to create my own
answers in my own reality, I get to be like, okay, so this is
happening, this is what could potentially happen, but I'm also
open to things falling into place perfectly and I called a
friend from home and said, Hey like I knew she was living at
home and I said, hey have you ever thought about getting out
of town and moving somewhere? New like I thought you were
talking about the city and was you want to come visit and see.
And she's like, oh my God. I was literally looking at
apartments this week. This is so perfect.
I'm gonna come visit. I'm a 99%.
Yes. And I'm like, you see, I didn't
even need to stress about it. Like my safety felt compromised,
but I was like, you know what, we're going to like deal with
that. And yeah, so if you're looking
to make a big move and you're feeling that stress and fear,
ER, come up. It's because you're craving
Safety and Security. So, if you need to make a
back-up plan or play worst case scenario, that's what I do in my
head all the time. And that's how I do things
quickly. And that's an example of the
servant of The Logical mind, not the master, because you're using
your mind you using your logic to support yourself.
Not to like, breathe yourself down into the deep dark hole.
I wanted to say really quick about being finding that safety
and stuff. And we just recorded an episode
with Sophie. I'm that might be after this
episode. Yeah, yeah.
So next week, check it out and the topic came up of as safety
and being supported and I just loved it how, you know, we're
always supported and I-i've been in my morning meditation, so I
really have been taking the time to connect with nature and the
fact that we are nature, somehow the line of things we got left
out of the definition of nature. But news, flash, we are nature.
And when you watch nature nature, flows perfectly.
It doesn't make sense to our electrical brains but
everything's timed exactly how it should be the the leaves, the
trees bud and they grow flowers, they produce fruit, they produce
leaves and then they fall. And then they redo and like,
water flows, and it rains. And like, all of this stuff just
naturally happens and something I've really been coming in to
this realization of his like that nature desires to work
through Us in that way. To from the time, we are born,
we are born. Okay.
This is like different conversation, too, but I was,
I'm reading on a biography of a yogi right now, for my yoga
training and in there to talk about how, you know, the view of
astrology, and the Eastern philosophy.
And also, I think any time you look into spiritual things also,
human design talks about this as well.
Like this, like, you are born at the exact time that you're meant
to to be supported to learn the things that you are meant to
learn and experience in this life and nature.
That's nature like Nature has our back for everything.
Thing that we feel we are being called to, and we, like, have
that, like, sometimes I just have this feeling that comes
over me with, like, I need to express myself, I need to paint
a picture. I need to go on a walk, or I
need to make a rug, like, just random stuff, but, and I'm
really wanting and implore us all to listen to that.
Because that's nature of Mike, working through us and nature,
works perfectly, it flows Perfectly.
So if we can allow ourselves to get out of her mind, get out of
are trying to make sense of the thing and just let it flow.
It's absolutely. And I feel like I'm just
starting to see just glimpses of the power of this, but it's
absolutely incredible. What can happen if we want to
bring him in design into this, there's a little bit since you
said it, it really brought forth like a hell.
Yes, from me, which is my gut instincts.
That's how I'm meant to make decisions.
According to human design, which is just a living experiment.
It does not tell you what to do, but Carly and I have both found
it in the past year. It's been almost exactly a year
since we found him in design and it's just a tool that can help
you. Honestly, it's helps me.
Realize my potential, it's reassured me.
That everything is exactly how it should be.
It's shown me things that allowed me to ask deeper
questions that have moved me through what certain There's a
of the past year. It's just something that shows
you. Yeah.
That you're born at the right place the right time and you are
perfectly perfect. Like you are perfect exactly as
you are and everything is moving as it as it should be.
It's so such a cool thing to look at because it brings up
those questions about alignment. You'll hear people talk about
that in personal growth and spirituality a lot.
And I think there's a lot of people that know there's
something off with their life but they don't know what it is.
And that's the most irritating feeling is like, I know
something needs to change, but I just have no idea where to
start. Like, is it my fitness?
Is it, my job? Is it where I'm living?
Like it can be really difficult and I think human design gives
you the opportunity to really question that it gives you a
framework to experiment with and say oh I really relate with this
and yeah, I'm really feeling that dissonance or I'm feeling
my energy is drained. Or I really do feel like my body
were like, retracts from the idea of going to my job every
day like oh, that's a an icky feeling.
Maybe that's something I should look at and it's such a cool
tool to just assess your life and again with everything like
take what resonates and leave, what doesn't but for me,
absolutely everything has been spot-on and its really reassured
me that that what I'm interested in and pursuing and allowing
myself to try. Why is leading me on the right
path? So if anyone's interested please
reach out absolutely it is just I think to what human design has
given me. A now I'm also diving into the
gene Keys a little bit more. I'll pull that will probably be
discussed more in the future as I learned more but really like
this is something I've said and I've been told that we've all
heard said many many times and it can be so frustrating but it
is so True. Just be patient.
And I know that can be so painful to hear if you're in a
situation where you just feel absolutely icky like you just
are not happy, you're not doing maybe that well but I think
human design, any any tool similar to human design, but I
believe both found this with, with specifically HD is that it
helps you kind. Get started.
And also shows you kind of, helps you be patient because it
kind of, for me. Anyway, it it made a lot of
initial sense to my brain. You know, it kind of, that's the
thing that's nice about human design as well because it does
kind of satisfy a little bit of that logical aspect of the
brain, whereas, like, something like astrology is, beautiful and
it's so helpful, but it's the even a little less logical but I
kind of understood a lot about myself in an instant, and then I
was like, okay, Now, what a little bit and it kind of was a
tool that I could keep coming back to and help me be patient
as these things worked through myself and released it can feel
kind of infuriating, I felt infuriated quite a few times the
past like six months because I've been repeating even on
here. The same topic has come up for
me again and again and again and it's this Letting Go Letting Go
letting go. But now all the sudden it's
like, I'm Feeling it and I'm like, no time has passed like
you know it just kind of gets there and you've been supported
this entire time and you you we all get to the other side and
then we go through it again and then we get to the other side
again and then we go through it again and we get to start again
and it's just this beautiful thing called life.
I think it's really important to also be aware of when you're
comparing to other people with being on social media as most of
us. Or it can be difficult to see
video after video of people living their lives perfectly or
doing that Fitness routine that you've been trying to do and
struggling with. And it seems like people aren't
struggling. There are some accounts that are
doing their best to be transparent.
But even when people are being transparent on social media,
there's still so many nuances that you can't see behind the
scenes of of what's happening. And that's, that's perfectly
fine. Like, people don't have to share
everything, that's the beauty of social media.
That's the beauty of Being able to talk about the topics that
you want to and give those sides of yourself.
Nobody, I don't think anybody should be expected to show their
entire life as toxic social media.
Kind of makes it feel that way that some people are expected to
show everything and but I've said this on a previous episode
to that that perfect morning routine that you see this girl
doing, she filmed it perfectly once and it's been played 1.5
million times she You did it perfectly once and it probably
doesn't look that way every single day of her life and it's
so important you ever tried to record something like that.
It is not natural or unnatural thing.
Like your her routine does not look like that.
I've made a couple videos like that I've tried to be very clear
about the fact that like, you know, even this like, these are
things I like to do, but every day they look a little bit
differently about that but to pause and like set up the camera
and then do your routine and then move to the different room.
And then Set up your camera and did it like it.
Just feels goofy. Like, I'm like, what that, what
the hell? I know I made my first, like,
get ready for the gym video yesterday, just because I had
never tried it and I was like, you know what, this might suck,
but I'm gonna try it and see what happens.
Okay, this is like full pulling back.
The curtain of what that actually looks like.
I re tied my shoes like four times for the camera because my
foot was like not in the frame. How silly?
And then I And braiding my hair and the only white wall was
right behind my toilet. So I was standing straddling, my
toilet braiding braiding. My hair like straddling, my
toilet facing the wall. So also even weirder and
braiding my hair with the white wall background.
Not natural. I don't do that every day.
Thanks we do for the gram, right.
So it just doesn't look like that and everyone's in a
different different chapter like the The followers don't really
matter like you never know, they could have ten thousand robots
and to real 2000 real people thought, like it just is not an
accurate representation of somebody who is living in
alignment or in their purpose, or in their potential.
Like you can't say that in here. Yeah.
After you're done. Sorry, you can finish.
I was just going to say that like just because you might
follow somebody, that's I'm really into health and wellness.
So I'll reference that a lot. But if you're following somebody
who has 200,000 followers in Health and Wellness, Is it
doesn't mean that they're doing it perfectly.
It just means that the parts of it that they're sharing a lot of
people resonate with and they are most definitely struggling
with other things on the back end.
So just because they have the following and look like
everything's going, well, it also doesn't mean that that's
their purpose and potential. Like there's a lot of people
that I don't even want to say, like influencers and but social
media people that you see in the public eye that Suddenly change
gears and they want to start a new chapter, they've branded
themselves one way for a while, and they're looking to start a
new chapter and everybody goes through those phases.
So, just be gentle with yourself and your in the perfect chapter.
Yes. And also listen to yourself to,
I mean, I think Alexis and I have both experienced this in
the past year to, it's like, if you come across an account or
even maybe an account that you loved, and then all the sudden
you're seeing their stuff and it's just like getting this
causing you to have it. Yeah, the anything like it the
hell like oh no, I don't like that.
Or like you find yourself just like no I don't want to look at
that. Listen to that because energy
does not lie and the amount of things that I have kind of just
said no to, you know, without judgment just like that person
is where they are and it's nothing that they're doing wrong
or even, right? It's just is what it is and I
don't buy with that. Don't Try not to allow yourself
to stick with it because that's just putting yourself through
unnecessary ickiness. So, just like unfollow.
There's nothing personal about and unfollow.
They're really, really isn't. And if you feel like that person
is going to notice that you unfollowed them, you can
actually go to their page and click the drop down and mute
mute their stories, and mute their posts.
If somebody needs another option and like, duh, Don't want to
completely and follow the person.
I definitely have some accounts muted.
Not because I dislike the person it's like it's my own thing.
Like we're projecting our own stories, onto the things that
are posted. And if right now I don't want to
see a certain type of content, then it's up to me to control
that environment, not for me to expect that person to post any
differently. That's that person.
So, take control of your own space.
It happened the people in the back.
Yeah, it's not up to You to expect other people to act
differently. It's up to you to control your
own space and protect your energy and control what comes
in. So definitely mute block
unfollow and create a healthier environment for yourself in your
phone. It makes a big difference.
Yes, you're getting sun in your face.
Now I am, it's a really bright and I've thought about getting
up and closing the curtain because I have to lean forward
to reach the microphone. So, when I lean forward, I'm
blind. But I feel like that was a
really good Riff on discovering your potential.
And I think that's also something interesting that, the,
the show, the machine that the show that I was watching, I'll
write it in the in the description.
If anybody wants to watch it, I would love to hear your own
thoughts on it and what it means.
But even the thought of discovering your potential, I
feel like there's discover your potential, find your purpose and
aligned with your highest self. There's all these like lofty
things that people say but you're actually just there.
You don't have to find anything it's just happening like you
don't have to go on a like archaeological dig and discover
your purpose. Like you're not you're not like
searching like it is within, you know and that's what's coming.
Your purpose is A better way to say that is you're discovering
yourself like your potential is the potential of who you are,
not what you can do. I mean that's a part of it for
sure but you can do what you want to do.
You can do what you do because of who you are.
Exactly. And the way you do it is because
of who you are. So it all comes back to who you
are and and what's inside. So if you're looking to discover
your purpose, if you're familiar with that term it's all comes
back to getting to know you yourself.
Mhm. Which is a can be a more
complicated answer, which is more complicated than people
would like, but it is way more fun.
It is fun. Once you get into it and you
actually do start digging in and asking yourself questions, like
what makes you the happiest? Like what can you do for hours
and like forget about time. Or what spaces do you walk into
and get super excited about? Like like when you have
sensation I love? Yeah, they're like whatever that
is for you. Whether you get chills, whether
you get like buzzing excitement or whether you get super
energized, it's different for everybody.
And again, a plug for human design, it kind of it tells you
what that is for you, for me, it's a gut instincts.
That's like literally in my stomach and sometimes it feels
like a fire going up in my core. When I'm so lit up by something
that's my generator. Energy type Carly's a manifest,
ER, it's a little bit different for her, but human design is
such a cool tool because it gives you Kind of a cheat code,
not an answer key, but definitely a cheat code to
experiment with and all in all I think it has all the answers,
but you have to align them with the right question.
Still, I didn't give you the answer to this specific
question, but there's most of the answers there.
You just have to figure out where they go.
Yeah, that sounds confusing but that's why we're here to like
chat with you about it. So anyway, all in all you get to
set the level of your potential Oil, which actually is
non-existent like, it's this guy's always going, there's
always potential in so many different ways.
It's not just like one category of potential, there's so many
different ways. You can take your potential and
your purpose and it all starts with you.
It doesn't start with anything outside of, you know, you are
the key. That was a good one.
I liked this episode. I think I'd like to come back
and listen to this episode in the future.
This might, this might be a moment of future us coming back
to listen to past us to get advice on exact resident present
situation. So hello future.

lives. And what's been like what ideas
have been coming in and what topics keep repeating themselves
and maybe what challenges are coming up.
And we just kind of talk about what's going on.
Because I feel like, personally, I feel like a lot of people
like, a lot of the collective, like a lot of collective,
meaning people on Earth General humans, go through similar
things in similar phases. So, I Like, when you talk about
what's present for you, it's most likely present for a lot of
other people, so you're never alone and just DM us.
