Episode 24 | Closing Out 2024 with Excitement

Hey guys, welcome to the Deep Dive In podcast with Nancy and Brenda. Lee, we are back, baby. Boom! Oh my God. Um, this is crazy. Yeah. I can't believe we, uh, really stuck to this. 24 weeks. Weeks. Guys, um, you know, one, we had a hiccup. We got sick. Oh, yeah. Right. We got a hiccup. So this is our last episode for the year. Um, and it's so happens to be episode 24. Yeah, for 2024. Yeah. That's so cool. Um, but for me, what's really cool is that we're doing this on a full moon. Yeah. 2020 2024 episode 24. Um, and on a full moon. On a full moon. I mean, I don't know what last full moon of the year. The last full moon. That's crazy. Yeah. Um. I'm so excited, though. I'm so excited for what's to come. And I think I posted, like, last week, like, this is only the beginning because you know how, like, it gives you all the stats or whatever. Yeah. Um, then I saw that, like it was five countries or something. I'm like, yeah, like the Filipino Catholic. Yeah. Like somebody New Zealand, New Zealand, Zealand. I don't know, I don't even know how to say that. Yeah. Um, pretty like found our podcast and played it. Yep. I'm like, what? Um, but, yeah, like, I was just I posted the other day, like, this is only the beginning because it's been amazing. Yeah. For this year and like and what we've shared and the feedback and everything. So I do just like how are you feeling. How are you feeling about it? I'm feeling, uh, really excited to record this one because overall, like it's. It is the last episode of the year. And I know that we have, you know, like ideas and stuff like that. And I'm just like, oh my God, this is so awesome. Uh, but also it's really cool because, like, there's a podcast out there in the world that has our life things on it. Yeah, that most people would not share. Right. And but we're just like out here just sharing our story. Yeah. And I think that's the coolest thing for me is that we're here, that we're sharing our story, that people are listening to it, um, because they want to write and that people are resonating with it and that it's, um, that really. That's it. Yeah. Like it's just I know for, for us, it was just putting it out there really and just sharing our story. Yeah. It was a, it was an idea that we, that we've had for quite some time and we finally, like just fucking went for it. And I think that, that this, this maybe this can serve as an inspiration for other people. Yeah. Just go for it. Go for it. Just put yourself out there. Yeah. Um. Just like know. Like what she meant. Rob. We were listening to Mel Robbins just now. And she. She said, like how social media is for you. Social media is for ourselves. Mhm. It's not for you to just be frickin looking at other people's lives. Yeah. Social media and these platforms, whether it be a podcast, YouTube channel or TikTok or whatever, like these platforms and the society that we're now living in is allowing us to create. Mhm. It's and that's literally like you could either be part of that creation or just be watching the people that are creating. Yeah. And I never really like I don't think I've ever really thought about it that way. Mhm. Um the social media part. Yeah. Okay. And like really like thought about it that way. Like I've heard that before. Yeah. But not really sat with it and like yeah. Like you're either creating on it and using it to express yourself and express the things that you want to put out in the world. Um, or you're just watching other people do it. Yeah. Their creation. Yeah. And there is we are all creative and creative in our own way. Mhm. We literally, like everyone, has their own way of creating and interpreting things um, that could resonate with other people. Yes. And I it's, it's honestly very like I feel to me it makes me feel like excited, like it makes me feel excited to know that everyone has their own authenticity to share. Mhm. Um, the way that they want to. Yeah. And with you saying that I think we're really entering like a, a period of time where that is going to be the like the that's going to be the thing, right, is how authentic are you coming across. Yeah, in all ways in social media, in real life, like in every aspect of your life is. Yeah. How authentic are you coming off? Like, are you really being authentic to yourself? Yeah. And are you being real? Are you being real. Yeah. Or are you just creating a real that is showing some other bullshit that is not really your life? Yeah, exactly. Or you're creating a real to make it look like your life is something that is not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is what a lot of people do. A lot. Yeah, a lot of people. Yeah. Anyways. Yeah, it's, it's gonna, it's I think we're, we're evolving into where people are truly just looking for authentic people. Like real people. Yeah. They don't want fake anymore. No. Yeah. And I feel like because of social media people. Uh, like we we have been being. We have been, um, getting trained in what's real and what's not like, tried to try to determine what's real and what's not like. Like it's something like we could identify, like, all this person. It's like, now we're like investigators, which is like consciously programmed investigators because of the social media posts that people put. Yeah, I'm just like, wait, that person posted this the other day and they didn't look like this. Like, you know, like we're we're like being able to determine what is real and what is not based on the different posts and platforms or whatever. Um, and I feel that, I mean, that we're literally had been trained to become like these PiS that are just like, your shit is not on enough, homie. Like, oh yeah, but or you could identify the type of person, the type of person like the, the the people's personalities. Mhm. Um, via their social media posts. Yeah. You know. Um, which I feel like that's pretty cool. But yeah, identifying people's personalities like oh this is funny. You know, like don't know how we got here, but um, but yeah 2024 has been an amazing year. And I know that there's probably another week left in the year by like, or 2 or 3, 2 or 3 weeks. So two. Yeah. Two weeks left in the year. Um, but we decided to obviously take since next week is Christmas, blah, blah blah. Um, take some time to just not like for ourselves. Yeah. Take a break. Yeah. Um, we will be recording still for next year and starting next year off strong, but I feel like it's, uh, it's a good. I want to go into. Like. I know we talked about it last episode, actually, like, a little bit about our year and stuff. Um, what are some things that you're looking forward to 20, 25? Ooh. Well, um. I am looking forward to a lot of change. Yeah. Uh, I'm also looking forward to a lot of, um, creation. So a lot of my, um, my ideas to actually be brought out into this lifetime. Um, I'm looking forward to that. And I'm also looking forward to intentional collaborations. Yeah. With, uh, people, uh, and also my, my, my friendship circle. Mhm. I feel that that is a good thing for me. Yeah. It's shifting for me. And I am really excited to see like what my circle of friends looks like for 2025 and beyond because I feel so whatever friends you have better step up. This is a warning and this is a warning. No. Just kidding. You know, like yeah, yeah. You're you're um, you're you're stepping into different circles. It's like, from what I obviously see. Yeah, there's, um, and, you know, there's friends that stick with you. Yeah. No matter what cycle of life you go through. Right, right. And I feel like I know which friends those are. Yeah. But there's also people that don't. And they just kind of like fade away on their own. And so that's kind of what I'm referring to. Like the friends that will kind of just fade away on their own. And I'm really excited to see like what, what amazing friendships come through for me. Um, this year. And I also, the one last thing is also, uh, I'm really looking forward to the relationship between you and I. Mhm. And between, um, my kids and my family. Yeah. So I'm really looking forward to all of those things. Nice. How about for you? I'm looking for a present. Um, honestly, I there's there's been a lot going on for me in the last couple of weeks or that I've discovered even in the last week. The last day. The last day. Why is it. Oh, like, it's so crazy. Like, this just comes, like, in heavy waves and it's just like, oh my God. Like, okay, but but I realized, like, this whole year has been pushing me and pushing me and pushing me to, to change. Mhm. Like this whole year's purpose I feel. Is to is it? This whole year's purpose was to get me to where I am right now, and how I feel right now, and how I feel right now, is it's time for me to just change my whole person, like my whole idea of who I am. Mhm. Wow. Yeah. Like I feel like the year. Like it's crazy to think. I mean and it's crazy because it's like I'm still gonna be me. Right, right. Like it's still, it's like it's still Nancy and it's still like my personality. Like I'm still gonna be me. Mhm. But what I'm saying is, um, my habits and my discipline and my like, my intention with my life. Mhm. This whole year has pushed me to wake the fuck up. Mhm. Like what the fuck are you doing with your life. Yeah. Pretty much. And it's not to like bad. Like it's not to like put me down or. I know that that's not the case, but it's more so to like, there's more potential in me that I realized that I realized this year, um, than I ever have before. Wow. And so in realizing that, I realized that, like, there's changes that need to be done, drastic changes that need to be done. And it's interesting because at the same time, everything that we were listening to just now, yeah, correlates with what I'm just saying it does. So we were listening to, um, a podcast, uh, podcast with Mel Robbins and Oprah. Uh, Mel Robbins new book is called Let them. Um, and I I'm, I'm, I can't wait to read it. And she just basically the concept of it is is identifying like the amount of time that you lose in. Thinking of what other people are going to be thinking about you and you wanting to have control over that. Yeah. And I feel like a lot of my life has been that a lot of my life has been doing things for others for their approval, um, or their love. Mhm. Or. Yeah. Like or their attention. Mhm. And so it all like correlates together. It's like yeah. This moment in time, I'm just feeling the urge to just buck and change me drastically. And then I, and then this that I happen to see a real right. Um, and Mel's bringing out this book talking about the control that you give others, um, by just thinking about how they are. Yeah. And I'm just like, what? So I'm very excited for I'm very excited for that. I'm very excited to to see what comes out of this drastic change that I want to, that I want to encounter or that I want to go through. Yeah. Like, I don't know, like, I can't say exactly. Like what? Like what is gonna happen. Yeah, I can't, I just I'm just excited for this transformation that I'm about to go into because I know that, like, there's fucking gold for me on the other side of it. Yeah. You have a gold mine that you're sitting on. Yeah, yeah. So I'm literally like saying this out loud and here recorded in this podcast because I want it to be like like knowing that like Nancy, you said this shit, you know, like fucking do it, right. You know, um, kind of like taking me into accountability. Accountability. Yeah. And so yeah. So I'm excited for that. And you guys, I'm gonna be recording my transformation, my physical transformation and just my transformation. And this is something that I've been thinking about too. And I'm excited about this as well, is that I'm going to rerecording this kind of like a video journal. Um, and I feel like, uh, once I'm ready to, I'm just going to post, like, my recordings and, like, uh, a story sequence. Uh, that sounds so beautiful. Yeah. Well, so, yeah, I'm excited to see it all. And I'm excited to be present for it. That's all I have. Yeah. So I'm excited for that. Like, I'm honestly like, you know, there like you, you live. It's crazy because I've had these moments before. I've had these moments of like, I need a change. Like I need to change something about me or whatever. Like I've had these moments before, um, where I wasn't feeling happy with the current live situation that I have been in. And so I'm drastically make a change. Um, and it it. But it's never been realizing the work that I need to do. It's just like. I make a change in my like in where I live, for example, um, in my relationship. So I'm like, oh no, like I need to change. Yeah. And I just leave the relationship or I just move somewhere else or whatever. Yeah. Um, and for people that know me and and that listen in like, they'll be like, yo, Nancy, you you do that? Yeah. You just fucking get up and move and, like, whatever. Um, I know there's some people out there that sometimes text me like, hey, where are you now? Where? Like, you know, like, where are you now or whatever? Um, I'm just that person that's always, like, moving around or whatever. Yeah, but always without intention. It was more so of, like, a fear of being in that situation or staying in that situation and uncomfortable uncomfortableness of that situation that just made me like, want to run away. Yeah. And I don't feel that like I don't feel that anymore because I'm aware of that. Like I'm aware that that's what I used to do is just run away from the situation because it was getting too intense. Yeah. Or it was getting out of my control. Mhm. And so I yeah. And so now I feel like I know the things that I need to work on for myself. Um, I know the things that I, I that I used to do. Like what I just said, like you just just I just used to fucking run away from things, um. And then figure it out. Yeah, whatever. You know? Um. And I used to do that a lot, and we talked. You and I talked about this the other day. Like how I feel. Like how it's like, maybe it's part of abandonment trauma that I went through when I was little. Yeah. And, you know, like, fear of getting hurt. Yeah. Or something like that. So I'm in awareness of these things and I and I'm excited for the work that is coming, like the work that I need to do on this transfer. Like I'm excited for the process. Mhm. The journey of it. Yeah. Love your journey. Yeah. Yeah. Love your journey. Yeah. So I'm excited I'm I'm excited for what's to come. I'm excited for the process. I'm excited to even be in awareness of like oh I need to really like go in. Mhm. And I'm saying like go inside and go inside and really like tackle these things. Mhm. Um. Because that's the only way that I'm going to come out. The person I know myself to be. Yeah. That God mind. Yeah. I think sometimes we forget that that's what it that's what it needs to be, is to go in literally is to go inward. Yeah. Yeah. Like you have to go in like, yeah. No, not go into your job like no, go into yourself. Let it go into why you feel the way you feel like why are you in the same situation that you were 3 or 6 years ago? Like, why do the same? Why do the same things happen over and over to you? Yeah. Like why? What the fuck right are the patterns coming up for you? Yeah. Recycle. It's the same thing. Different day, same thing. Yeah. Like, why am I not like, I have these great ideas. Why am why am I not like going after them? Yeah, why? I know that it's possible. What the fuck is stopping me? Am I just scared? Like I'm scared of what feeling? Or like people gonna say what people are gonna say? Like. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's it's still, it's still, it's still some of those things and those things are things that, um, that's where the work comes in. That's where you have to go in. Yeah. Go in and like ask yourself these questions. Sit in meditation, like sit in meditation as long as you have to for the answers to come. And in the answers you'll you'll know like what needs what you need to change, what behavior has been hindering you from like fucking the life that you want to live. Going after what you want. Yeah, yeah. And that's right. That's that's the urge right now. Like the, the, the excitement comes from. Finally going after the life I want to live. And that's why I'm excited to do the work. Because I'm just like, I really like it really just needs to happen, you know? It's funny because it's like when, um, I don't know when somebody wants to be an actor and actress or something or what? Somebody wants to be a doctor or whatever. Any type of profession. Like, you just need to go and like, do it. Yeah. And you're not going to know or anything really. Like you're not going to know, like what's going to happen or whatever. But if you really feel like you need to do something like that, you need to just start. Yeah. And I feel and that's where I'm at, like, I just need to start and like do it you know. Mhm. I don't know why you're example I related it to uh being impregnated, going into labor to give birth because it reminded me of how like when you're pregnant and you're about to go into labor or like you want to have this baby, I want to birth this baby. Um, a lot of women do whatever they can to induce labor. To get out there. Yeah, right. Like they'll do whatever they can to induce the labor and so that that baby can be birth. And that's exactly like how I'm picturing what you're saying is I want to do whatever it takes to induce the pain or the growth that I need to go through right now to birth whatever I birth. Yeah. Okay. Well, it's probably better analogy than my work one. That's funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's literally birthing a new life. Yeah. So I'm excited about that. Yeah. Like obviously that's that's a huge thing. Huge. I'm excited for you. Um, but yeah like there's, there's so many things that I mean, obviously that being you want to work on and stuff and I, I'm obviously excited about that as well. Yeah. I'm looking forward to um, us maybe bringing some people on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a member. Family member? Yeah. I wonder how my mom would be. My mom says she wants to be on here. Remember what she did singing? My sister is down. Your sister's down. My sister's down to. I'd love that. Yeah, we should have a sister. A sisters episode who like, when they're like, they come on. Yeah. And have them go do do do do. How do you remember your sister? Yeah. Yeah. You know, like I would. I don't think I've ever had that conversation with my sister. Mhm. Like how her childhood, her childhood was I don't think I have either or how like because she was the oldest one. Yeah. Right. So I don't think I've ever had the conversation of like well like how was your chat. Like I know bits and pieces because she was the one that always took care of us. So she was like, the mom, right? Yeah. Um, but I would be. Yeah. That I would be sort like down to have that conversation. Um, because, like, I want to know what her perception of us growing up was, you know, um, I know she always had to work and take care of, um, me and my brother and stuff. That would be amazing. So, yeah, bringing on some some people on here when I'm finishing up our studio. Yeah. Our podcast studio that we're working on. Yeah, definitely going to be doing, uh, some YouTube channels and TikTok. I'm going all in on social media. I don't care, I don't care, whatever. Yeah, I'm going all in in this social media, um, era, I will be my social media influencer era, um, um, and go for 2025. So don't come at me. You're going to be mad because my mama. For content will just change for content. Um, so I'm excited about that. There's just so many things that I've, uh, the ideas that I've had and stuff like, I really want to put them into fruition and make them come alive. And I know this is one thing that I realize as well. Like, obviously the the better you feel personally healthy, wise, emotionally, the better you create. Yeah. And the more vibrant you look and the more vibrant you feel, um, in the energy that you put out there. Yeah, I already know that I have this personality, um, and like, sorry, like, not to sound cocky or whatever, but I've always, like, I know that I have this attractive personality. It's not cocky. Well, you know. Yeah, yeah, but the disclaimer before I let them. Try to share. Um, and so, like, I'm just so I'm so excited to have you're probably like, this is I've said excited excited like a million times now. But that's how excited I am because, um, I'm just. Like I. I know that there's just, like, a lot more creativity, um, juices or creativity that, um, that is just waiting to come out. Yeah. And it's just waiting to come out. Um, and it's not it hasn't been allowed to come out because of how I, how I still feel, you know, physically, emotionally, like those things that I have to work through. Right. But now I know that, like, I'm in aware and I know, like, I have the the art is way that you gave me. Okay. I'm gonna start that this week. So. Yeah. So, so like for me my new year starts tomorrow. Yeah. You know. Yeah. Like for me my new year starts tomorrow like 5th January first. No. Today's the last full moon of the year. And I feel that energy and I feel that alignment and I feel that excitement and the motivation, um, and it's just like, no, like, let's like, we don't have to wait till January 1st. Guys, you could do it any time. Yeah, you could do it on a Tuesday, on a taco Tuesday, on a pump Wednesday or whatever that is. Yeah. Like any freaking day, any moment, you can literally make a decision to just change your life. Yes. And yeah, so I'm excited for that. And uh, yeah, yeah, this year was this year was definitely, um, a battle ground for me. And I think it's going out with the bang. Uh, but it is good now at the bank. And it is it's going out with the bang and I and I and uh, but I, I, I'm so grateful for it. Yeah. Sam, I think for me, it's been in the midst of the battle. Yeah. Learning how to surrender. Yeah. And it's funny because I was looking through my pictures that I have on my personal Instagram page, and I saw my birthday post, and I put chapter 33 surrender to the Flow of life. And I'm like, that's exactly what 33 is teaching me. So yeah, it's learning how to surrender to the flow. Yeah, things and whatever. Right. And I have I have also felt like it's been a battleground, but it's been like in a, in a way of like of, like I give up, like I surrender that. Yeah. Like take over spirit. Whatever you're going to do, just do it. Just do it. Yeah. Like, that's, that's what it's been for me. And, um. And it's been it's been a truly connecting year for me. Um, because I've learned to go inward and to connect deeper and I and I'm closing out this year with a very deep connection with myself and with the spiritual realm. And that makes me really happy, because I've never been in this position before, despite my background in religion and stuff like that. And so it makes me really happy to just feel that. Yeah. And and I'm just excited for what more of you know, how you're saying, like your journey to your transformation. I'm excited for my journey to, um, to that deeper connection with myself because I know it's going to lead to deeper connections with other things. Yeah. The deeper I am connected to myself, the deeper I'll be able to connect with you, the deeper I'll be able to connect with people that I do sound. That's for the deeper I'll be able to connect with my children. Right? Because how they just said on the podcast you were watching is people will only meet you as, as deeply as they've met themselves. Yeah. And so that's, that's truly like one of the other things, like I would say, out of all the things that I said, that's one of the that is the one that I am the most excited about. Yeah. Because I know that with that comes so much more. Yeah. You're just living life at a different level at that. Yeah. Experience of life is just it's more embodied. Yes, yes. At that point. Yeah. Like just. And what I mean by that is like that you're truly like present in the moment and in and actually like breathing the air and touching the tree and hugging the tree or listening to your laughter. Yeah. Or like, you know, I don't know why you said listening to your laughter. Like, I don't want to listen to you to. Yeah, I don't know. I thought of that. I have this thing about hearing people chew and it's crazy, but maybe it's supposed to bring you to the present or. Oh my God. Um, but, yeah, like, it's just it's a different level. And that's the level, like I want to be on. Yeah, I want to be in that level of embodiment where I'm, I'm in awareness of, like, what's going on and, and, um, and I control what I control, and I let go of what I can't control. Yeah. What other people do, what other people say. Like, it doesn't matter. Um, but it just being in that, just being in that state of mind, I it's like where I want to be, like, that's where I want to live in that state of mind and that state of embodiment of like. Flowing. Flowing with life. Mhm. Um, and whatever comes your way. Yeah. And what, whatever the thing is that if you're flowing with life, all of the things that are gonna come your way are the things that you want because you're just letting it flow to you. Yeah. And I feel like this year, like this year has captivated a lot of or has captivated a lot of the things that, for me, that I let cause resistance in my life, all of my life. Yeah. And this year has been a lot of firsts for me this year as well. Okay. In in the connection. And like a lot of things that I've been aware of, of like, um, that I never that I never really allowed myself to, to believe that that's how I was or to believe that like something, um, like the abandonment thing, like I didn't I, I never realized that before. Mhm. I never realized that maybe I'm running away or maybe I'm like, because I want to be the one to leave first. I don't want the other person to leave because then that's going to cause me, it's going to trigger me and I'm going to like, feel abandoned. Yeah. And that's why I do it first. Yeah. Or I've done it first. Right. And it's been my whole life. Like that's how I've been in relationship. I don't deal with, or I wouldn't deal with the problem, and I wouldn't deal with how I was being or how how I was showing up in the relationship. I would just run away and I would just go do my thing. Yeah, and that's it. There was no resolution to anything. And that's literally the ongoing, like the ongoing circle of life that I've been in. Wow. Yeah. Have you? Yeah. So, like, you know, like this this year has caused me to fucking realize that shit. Like, like I said, it's crazy to me because there's been so many things. And I feel like that this time. Now is, um. The time is the time now is for me to sit with all of those things. When you say sit. What do you mean by that? I don't like people that don't know what that means. Yeah, like I like journal about it. Um, when I, when I for me, yeah for me sitting with it is journaling about it. Um, and really asking yourself these questions and allowing and allowing for the, allowing the time for the answers to come into those questions. And it it sounds weird, but like if you ask yourself, like, what do I want to eat today? Yeah, you start thinking of food options. So that's literally answers to your question coming in out of no. Like out of nowhere. Yeah. And so these answers that are coming in when you ask yourself what I want to what do I want to eat today? Um, that's exactly where the answers come in. When you ask yourself, why does why did this make me feel this way? Mhm. Then you start thinking like, well, how did it make me feel. Well it what made me feel sad. Like why? Why did it make me feel sad? What is sad about it. Mhm. Or you know you start asking yourself these questions but in the same time you start receiving the answers to the questions that you're as you're asked. Um, and I feel to that to me is sitting with it and journaling about it. I'm writing these things out because that's where you're actually like releasing that energy, but you're also digesting and have it written down for you to, like, go back if you want to. But for me, is like a lot of releasing, like when I journal and like, I just really like it releases, um, those emotions or those feelings or whatever the questions are and the answers that are coming in. Um, I learned I learned about it that way. Or just sitting in meditation with intention. So what I mean is like. Um, sometimes I just ask myself, or if I'm feeling kind of weird, or I have, like, a weird, like, um, motion, like weird day or whatever. Um, like, just literally giving myself, like, five minutes to just sit with, like, the weirdness. Um, like, why am I feeling weird? Yeah. And I just sit there quietly, or I put on a guided meditation, um, to try to like or to work on, um, removing that energy from me and kind of like figuring out, like, what is it that's causing me to feel this weirdness right now, right? So those are a couple of like, yeah. So that's like sitting with it for me. That's helpful. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Because I know like, um, a lot of people don't know what they mean when people say like sit with it, you know, or um, or take time to like, find the answers for yourself. And one thing that I learned with how you're saying like to ask yourself the question, um, because I know for me, I, I'm, I kind of overthink sometimes, you know, and, um, I, I always wondered, I was like, well, how do I know that? Like, that's not my ego doing right? Or how do I know like that? That's the real answer. And um, and I heard one time that when you sit with yourself and ask yourself the questions that you're saying. Usually the very first answer that comes to you is the answer. Um, and then any answers after that, or like if you end up overthinking the answer to that, it's usually your ego. That makes sense. Yeah. And I'm like, okay, so that's how I've learned to like, trust the answers that come to me, because I know I had a difficult time with even trusting what came to me. Yeah. And and I say that because there's also like for a lot of people, they don't know what intuition is. They don't know how to trust their intuition. Right. And so that is how I learned to trust my intuition was by going with those gut feelings. Yeah, by going but with those first answers that would come to me. That's funny that I, um, I saw something the other day that said that people overthink because they don't trust themselves. Yeah, yeah. And it's exactly what you're saying. Yeah. Like you're overthinking because you're not trusting yourself. Mhm. It's kind of like in school I don't know if you ever learned this, but in school I remember when I would go to take a test, the teachers would always say choose the first answer that comes to your mind and don't change it. Yeah. Because usually your first answer is right. Yeah. And so that's kind of how it is with trusting our intuition. Yeah. Yeah. We're also taking a test. That's one of the things that like when I was taking my licensing test, that's one of the things that, um, they taught us like, um, don't like don't check, don't change the answer. Yeah. Like, once you choose it. Exactly. Um, yeah. That's that's so that's. Yeah. Yeah. I was just adding that in addition to what you said, because I know for me, it was very hard to trust what came to me. Yeah. Um, and that's that eventually is what led me to learn how to trust my intuition and go deeper. Like with what was coming to me. Yeah, yeah. And those are like, that in itself is like a huge thing to learn for yourself. Mhm. Like everybody over thinks yeah. Everybody is creating this story in their mind about the other person and how this person feels about them, um, or what they believe of them or whatever the case may be. Mhm. And we're just like overthinking all of these things that we don't have control over. So it doesn't really fucking matter. No. Like we're just not. But then that means that we don't trust ourselves and our confidence levels or our confidence or our authenticity. Um, therefore, like we are seeking. Um, other people's validation. And that's why we overthink what they think about us. Mhm. Isn't that like that's fucking crazy. Yeah. Like Mel Robbins was talking about like the control. Like we want to have control. Like we, we want to have control of our lives. And that's why we go into like fight or flight, for example. And the minute we don't have control over the other person and how they feel or whatever, like we're like, we're just pushing each other to Z. Yeah, yeah. Pushing each other away. Um, and we push each other to see who's going to have more control. Yeah. You know, in the situation and in doing that, like, we're just distancing ourselves. Yeah. And it's so crazy to me because it's so true. Like we do that all the time. Yeah, we do that all the time. And so for me like like I said, like this year's ending with a bang because of all of these little nuggets that I'm getting just today, for example. Um, but all of these things that like. Yeah, like this, this is your release, but like fucking it was the catalyst blew like blew up my life for sure. Oh, it wasn't even catalyst. It was a bomb. It was a bomb. It was like, um. Yeah, it was like. It was just so epic. It was epic despite the epicness. Epic. Happy for sure. Here I am for. Yeah. For sure. Very very happy. Yeah. With where we are. And, um. And I'm. I can't wait to. I can't wait for what's to come. Whatever it is. Yeah. I mean, who knows? We could die tomorrow and all this shit doesn't fucking matter anyway. Yeah, that's who ruined the ending. But, um, at least me, I'm like, yeah, yeah. Um, but, yeah, like, you know, you have to be excited either way. Yeah, you have to be excited either way, because the life experience is just the life experience this moment. Yeah, exactly. Um, and it and that's the thing like this energy that you like, everything that we're saying is energy that we're putting out. Mhm. And the energy that we're putting out to these things that we already calling that we're calling in, you know like I want this podcast to grow and I want people to listen to it, I want I want to speak out I want to have guests in, I have it on our own studio. Um, and like all of these things. Right. It's just like. It starts with us just saying that that's what we want and believing that it's possible. Yes. So whatever you guys, um, believe whatever you guys decide, I would really I would encourage, um, everyone to be listening to this. If you're listening to this, like, I would encourage you to, um, start now, like start now and thinking of what are things that you want to change or where what what's calling you to change. Because we already know that's the thing. Yeah. Like we already fucking know. Like what? We need to change. Yeah. And we just don't because we're fucking idiots. I mean, for the lack of spirituality, words like we're just very we're very comfortable with where we are. Yeah. And so we don't want to change because we're comfortable with the whatever. And so if you are listening to this, please just do yourself a favor and just think of that for a moment like, what area in my life needs to change right now? And even if it's fucking your relationship, like change that shit. Yeah. We don't have a lot of time now. We like we're here for a fucking second. Um, and it's not worth you being in this fucked up relationship or feeling bitter for whatever happened with your family or whatever trauma and stuff like that. Yeah, just fucking change it. Yeah. And you, you by you by you doing the work, by you asking yourself these questions like, why am I still feeling this way? Like, obviously you're gonna you, you obviously you, you're gonna want you have to want to change. Yes. So. So I only do this if you want. Yeah. Otherwise, how's your foot? Yeah, but if you want to change, like, you have to ask this, like you have to have these conversations with yourself, and I, I mean, I would just, I would just, um, encourage you to do it. Yeah. Don't wait till January 1st or whatever. Like you're going to be hungover as fuck. Um, don't do that. Like, just do it now before the chaotic Christmas time, if that's what it is for you. I hope it isn't. Um. I hope you slow down and just take in all of this year. Yeah, take in 2024. Take in all of the things that have happened. Write them down. Write down how they've worked for you, how they changed you, how grateful you are for everything that you have or this year brought for you. Um, and just end this year with a bang. With just giving yourself that time. Yeah. Like, imagine if you would give yourself ten minutes just to have this. Um, this, like, heartfelt, like connection with everything that transpired this year. Mhm. Um, it just make you feel ready for what's to come. Yes I agree. I want to add two things to your, to your recommendation is um, because I feel like these things have really helped me. But the number one thing is as women and I mean, I feel you could do this as men as well, but I don't know. I'm not a guy. So as a woman, um, also, as you're taking the time to reflect back on the year, like Nancy said, um, add in there, taking the time to honor all of the versions of yourself that you felt you've had to be this year. Like, if you had to be the people pleasing person, if you had to be the one, the over giver, the whatever, right, honor those versions of yourself because you had to be that to get through that time of your life, to be where you are now. Yeah. And, um, that has been one of the toughest things for me to do. Um, this year is honoring the past versions of myself and loving those past versions of myself And, um, so if I can recommend anything, it would be that and it would be also the I know we use, we kind of do this um, individually is we write a letter of what our life looks like in the next year. Yeah. So how that it's called scripting. And what it is, is it's a letter that you write, um, of all of the things that you've accomplished or that have happened for you in your life for 2025. So what the letter has to be, though, is it is as if it has already happened. And so what I recommend for this scripting letter is that you get into a state of mind where you feel very grateful. So get into a state of mind where you feel grateful. Listen to a Gratitude Affirmations YouTube video um, for 10 or 20 minutes in the morning and or at night, whatever, and get into that state of mind. Feel cozy, like set up your ambiance, however it makes you feel good. Um, sit down with a cup of wine, a cup of tea, a beer, whatever it is, and then take out a sheet of paper and then write how your life looks, and write it as if it already happened. And then just do what? That letter. What? You wish you could put it away in a drawer. You could throw it away, whatever you feel like doing. Um, but make sure you read the letter every day for a week before you do that. And, uh, watch that whole letter come to life. And I remember, um, we wrote that letter, and it everything except for Jetskis came to life. Yeah, I think for you, too. And then, um, I need to go back and find the other letter that I wrote for this year to see what happened, because I don't remember what's on it. But just do that, you guys, you know, get in that practice of, like, that gratitude feeling and in the practice of, um, writing out how your life already is and the moment that you do that, the universe, God, everything will conspire to make it happen for you. Wow. Yes. Oh, baby, I love that. Yeah, I, I, um yeah, I remember the letter that we wrote, like. Yeah, that was that was amazing. Um, I think we're good. We wish everybody a beautiful 2025. Yes. Um. And, um. Happy holidays for the better. Happy holidays. Merry or happy Christmas. Happy holidays. Oh happy holidays. Unbelievable. Happy holidays. Yeah. Um. What? Like. I hope you guys do whatever you do. Um. Hope you spend, um, some time for yourself. Um, we always say, like, oh, we're going to spend some time with the family. Like, we always spend time with the family. Yeah. Let's spend time with yourself. Yeah, and that's something I was, um, learning to. Um. Yeah. I'm sure you're very excited about, but I hope you spend time with yourself. Yeah. Before the new year end. Before the new year gets here. And we love you guys. And, um, I will send blessings your way. And that was all. That is it. Love you guys. See you. Once again, guys, thank you for listening.
