2:55

their future life could hold . I

2:57

welcome you all . This community

3:00

is so special to me and

3:02

I really am excited to be back

3:04

. So let's jump into this

3:06

season four episode on how

3:08

going viral changed my life . Okay

3:11

, y'all . So let's start with a bit of the

3:13

setup , the backstory about how this

3:15

viral video even came into existence

3:17

. So this

3:20

year , at the Quad A Conference , which

3:22

is the national conference for certified

3:24

anesthesiologist assistants the

3:26

Quad A is our , like , national governing

3:29

board At the national conference this

3:31

year , which was in Orlando , I

3:34

was speaking and

3:36

recording that podcast that you just heard

3:39

. If you listened to the last episode , it was a live

3:41

interview with the current Quad

3:43

A president , whose name is Danny Massaros . So

3:46

I was there doing those two things and

3:48

Chabeli and I , who have become friendly

3:51

because we're both CAAs

3:53

and content creators and we

3:55

knew that each other was going to be at the Quad

3:57

A . So as I'm

3:59

sort of finishing up my day from

4:02

speaking and doing the live interview , which was the first day of the live interview

4:04

, which was the first day of the quad A , which

4:06

was a Friday , I run into

4:08

Jebelly in the hallway , who actually

4:11

had a whole bunch of flight issues and got there

4:13

really late . So she was kind of running

4:15

into sort of the midday of

4:17

day one and she and I

4:19

met and we hugged . We had never seen

4:21

each other in person before and

4:27

we hugged . We had never seen each other in person before and shortly after meeting she asked if I

4:29

would be interested in recording just a real quick interview for

4:31

her YouTube channel . She had brought

4:34

her supplies and was trying to get little interviews

4:36

about people's financial journeys

4:38

. Chabeli is really interested in financial

4:41

literacy as a CAA and how

4:43

our profession has helped her meet

4:46

goals towards financial independence

4:48

and early retirement . And

4:51

so she was like you know , you're a part-time CAA

4:53

there's not a lot of part-time CAAs

4:56

and you've been CAA for so

4:58

long . You're kind of out in the public eye already . Would

5:00

you mind sharing some of your financial

5:02

numbers and just any

5:04

part of the journey that you're comfortable sharing

5:07

? And I , of course , was riding high off

5:09

of really bearing my heart and soul

5:11

, you know , in these two big ways

5:13

of the quad A . I was like , yeah , absolutely , I'm

5:15

an open book , let's do it . So we

5:17

just kind of usher ourselves over to the

5:19

side of this huge hallway , like

5:21

in this massive hotel where

5:23

we're having this huge conference , and

5:25

just at a little side table she

5:27

clips a mic onto me and asked

5:29

me maybe five questions . The interview

5:32

was maybe 10 minutes and

5:34

at the end she was like okay , this is great , good job

5:36

. I'm going to look through what I have

5:39

after the quad day ends and I'll probably create a YouTube

5:41

video . I'll let you know what comes of it . Okay

5:43

, cool , so

5:50

we go about our day . The rest of the quad A happens . I basically am a participant for

5:52

the remainder of the quad A . It was a fantastic , amazing , super

5:55

exhausting experience . Personally

5:58

, I was coming off of basically

6:00

two professional highs , two

6:02

life goals . Speaking

6:04

on the Quad A stage about CAA

6:06

wellness and then doing that live interview

6:09

. Those were just goals I had set out for myself

6:11

, probably in 2020

6:13

, like far off goals , like maybe

6:16

one day that would happen . And then this

6:18

year , in 2024 , those two things both

6:20

happened and I just felt

6:22

so embodied . I was

6:25

so proud of

6:27

where my profession had

6:29

allowed me to go in terms of like

6:31

reaching . What I felt like was this

6:33

full expression of who I am

6:35

, like I'm not just a CAA , but I'm

6:37

also a speaker and a teacher

6:40

and a leader and you

6:42

know all the things . I just was feeling so

6:44

, so good . And then , over the course of the

6:46

remainder of the quad A , after I did this interview

6:48

with Chabeli , I don't

6:50

know , my body just started to crash

6:53

, like my mental , my physical energy started

6:55

to crash . I suppose that's

6:57

probably normal after you do something huge

6:59

, I guess . But it was so surprising

7:02

and shocking to me that by the end

7:04

of the quad A , I found myself

7:06

really reconsidering

7:08

everything I thought that this

7:10

moment was going to launch me into . I

7:13

, for example , had taken a bunch

7:16

of emails at the Quad A

7:18

when I was speaking . I had people

7:20

, you know , hit a QR code and then input their information

7:22

and we were going to start this wellness

7:25

initiative and I just had so much energy

7:27

and I think over 60 people

7:29

put in their email and before

7:32

the quad day , I thought , okay , I'm going to do this with the

7:34

emails and then we're going to like , do

7:36

this initiative . And you know all

7:38

the things . This is not new

7:40

. If you're not familiar with my story

7:42

, you can go back and listen to my process

7:44

episodes . But I'm a dreamer , I

7:47

am creative , I am passionate

7:49

. I am also really capable . I think

7:51

CAAs are all really capable

7:53

and so oftentimes we get

7:56

an idea and we're like , yeah , we're going to do that

7:58

, let's make it happen . And then we hit the ground at

8:00

100 and just you know , drive

8:02

it down . And at

8:08

100 , and just you know , drive it down . And maybe , like this instance , you find yourself

8:11

just totally burned out , not necessarily overwhelmed , but I just had no energy

8:13

. I just I couldn't understand how

8:16

I was ever going to go on . And

8:18

, of course , when you're tired and low

8:20

, everything feels doom and gloom , but that's

8:22

basically my headspace . When I was leaving the Quad

8:24

A , I just wasn't sure what I was

8:26

going to do . I didn't know how I was ever going to sustain

8:29

the energy it appeared it was going

8:31

to take to do all the things

8:33

as well as live the other aspects

8:35

of my life . And so I flew home

8:37

and I just , you know , over the next

8:39

couple of days , just laid low . I

8:42

gave myself a lot of permission to rest

8:44

, which has been a new skill that I've

8:46

learned how to implement , and

8:48

I try to give myself a lot of compassion

8:51

and not beat myself up over , you

8:54

know , not immediately editing the episode

8:56

with Dani or not immediately

8:58

emailing everyone who I had connected

9:01

with or following up on leads on the

9:03

podcast . I just kind of let it set

9:06

for a while , which was extremely

9:08

uncomfortable and also basically

9:10

my only option because I was so exhausted

9:13

. And then , about

9:16

maybe three or four days into this sort

9:18

of rest , reset period after the quad A

9:20

, chabeli texts me

9:22

and was like , hey , I finished editing

9:25

the interview we did and it

9:27

actually is going to become

9:29

some short form content , which

9:31

is content creator speak

9:33

for , like the little videos on Instagram

9:36

and TikTok , like a reel and then a video

9:38

on TikTok whatever those are called . And

9:42

you know , cool , great , sounds awesome , chabeli , go ahead

9:44

. And Chabeli was like well , I just wanted to let you know that

9:46

I have a feeling that this might

9:48

get some traction . You're talking about

9:50

money , you're talking about money in kind of a different

9:53

way and you're just being really open . So

9:55

I wouldn't be surprised if you get

9:57

some traction off of this . You know , just wanted to let

9:59

you know . Okay , cool , sounds awesome , trebelli

10:01

. So she posted

10:03

the next day . I have an account for

10:05

the Awakened Nestis , if you'd like to follow me

10:07

on Instagram at Awakenedestis

10:09

, and I get a notification

10:12

that Chabeli posted the video and

10:14

very quickly I can see that you know , certainly

10:17

more people than my normal amount

10:19

are viewing this reel and

10:21

they're posting questions and they're tagging me

10:24

and I'm getting some DMs and I

10:26

was like , oh my gosh , look just what Chabeli said . Like

10:28

it's getting some traction . This is awesome . I'm

10:30

answering these questions just one on one

10:32

, like when you DM me or comment

10:34

. You know I'm by no means flooded with

10:36

them on a normal basis , so I just message

10:39

you right back and

10:41

I'm like , okay , and it kind of starting to pick up

10:43

. And I'm like I'm gonna go check TikTok . Just

10:45

, I have an account , but I don't use it very often

10:47

for the podcast , and by that I mean almost

10:50

never . And I find

10:52

the video that Chabeli posted there

10:54

and on TikTok it had almost

10:57

a million views within a

10:59

very short period of time as soon as it was posted

11:01

. And I was like , oh my goodness , like it

11:04

appears like this maybe is going viral on TikTok

11:06

. So I go back to Instagram , just

11:08

like in the moment , to see what's going on . Back

11:14

to Instagram , just like in the moment , to see what's going on , and

11:16

on Instagram it's at like 500,000 views . Now , in perspective

11:18

here , most of my reels that I

11:20

create , I get

11:22

maybe 3000 views or something . So

11:24

this has far exceeded anything

11:26

that I've ever done myself or been

11:28

involved in . And again , this is something

11:31

that Chabeli created and Chabeli posted

11:33

. But because my name was in it , like I was getting

11:35

tagged and everything within it

11:37

, and it just

11:39

snowballed from there very , very

11:42

quickly . And so I'm texting

11:44

Chabeli like this is happening

11:46

. This is going viral . What are you doing ? Are you

11:48

trying to answer all these comments ? I

11:50

was just so fixated , for whatever

11:53

reason , on trying to answer every

11:55

single comment and every single DM and

11:57

give people really thoughtful responses

12:00

. I mean , this has never happened to me before , so that was

12:02

just my gut response . This is crazy

12:04

, this is wild . This is , you know , really exciting

12:06

. Also , like very awesome . But I

12:08

, of course , am tapping away trying to answer

12:11

everything and

12:20

I get a DM on Instagram from a mom of a high schooler who's asking

12:23

me very intricate questions about her high schoolers courses and whether she's gonna

12:25

I don't know have the prereqs to then get into college

12:27

, then have the prereqs into AA school , and

12:29

just very detailed . Like I could tell she just wanted

12:31

me to make it easy for her as opposed

12:34

to doing the research herself

12:36

. And I just had this moment of clarity

12:38

, like , okay , I can see

12:40

what's going on here . I

12:42

already don't have any energy to give

12:44

to myself or to my family

12:46

coming off the quad A . And then

12:48

this huge , huge professional

12:50

moment happens for me , and I'm not talking about the quad A lecture . And then this huge , huge professional moment happens for me , and I'm not talking

12:53

about the quad , a lecture , or interviewing Danny

12:55

. I'm talking about this viral video

12:57

Like this is a massive exposure

13:00

moment for me and for my platform

13:02

and my message . And

13:04

I had this burning itchy

13:06

like , oh God , I got to capitalize on this and

13:08

I got to push and I got to move forward

13:10

and I got to make more videos and respond

13:13

. And this bless

13:16

high school mother who DM'd me just

13:18

snapped me out of it enough to be like , oh

13:21

, I see what's happening here . What's happening

13:23

here is the thing that I always

13:26

do . I am passionate

13:28

and I get too deep into something and

13:30

then I lose my boundaries and

13:33

I forget why I'm doing it and

13:35

I just end up sacrificing

13:38

too many other things

13:40

in order to accomplish the

13:42

goal or the thing that I had set out for myself

13:44

. And I just felt this

13:46

so viscerally when I

13:48

was going through this viral video

13:51

moment . And

13:53

you know , when you've been learning a lesson like your whole

13:55

life , I've probably been trying to learn this lesson

13:58

since 2020 . And

14:00

the you know universe or spirit

14:03

or life or whatever you

14:05

believe , keeps sending you ways to learn

14:07

the same lesson and

14:09

it just sort of sinks in . But then you

14:12

do it again and again , and again . And then at one

14:14

time in your life it just happens and you're

14:16

like , oh , I

14:19

see this isn't ever going to stop

14:21

happening until I put my foot down

14:23

, learn this lesson and

14:25

move forward with a lot more intentionality

14:28

. And in prepping

14:30

for this podcast and sharing this story

14:33

, I was telling my husband and

14:35

he's like , well , what is the lesson ? Like you

14:37

need to say what the lesson is . And he's like you're

14:39

being too , you know , up in the clouds

14:41

with it . I'm like well , you

16:01

know , when you are saying

16:04

yes to something , and that yes , by

16:07

virtue of saying yes , means you've said no

16:09

to a thousand other things , and

16:12

I always struggle with that because I

16:14

want to do those thousand other things

16:16

as well as the thing I said yes to . And

16:18

he was like yeah

16:20

, you mean the thing

16:23

that I told you back in 2020

16:25

when we first started our podcast together

16:27

. We were talking about this exact

16:30

lesson and how , during

16:32

that time , I was trying to transition from

16:34

full-time anesthesia work to part-time

16:37

work . And you know

16:39

, I was just had all these balls in the air

16:41

. And he's like I said that exact thing

16:43

to you in 2020 on air

16:45

, on the podcast you could go back and

16:47

listen to it , I'm like well , apparently

16:50

it took several more times

16:52

and four more years to really ingrain

16:55

that lesson that if you

16:57

do not pick your yeses with intentionality

17:00

, you will be saying no to

17:02

a lot of other things that you also

17:05

want to be doing . And if you

17:07

also happen to find yourself an Enneagram

17:09

3 or a perfectionist

17:12

or type A or any of the

17:14

attributes that I would say a lot of CAAs

17:16

have , you're going to say yes

17:18

to something and if it's without

17:21

intention , you're very quickly going to

17:23

find yourself burned out

17:25

, overwhelmed and looking

17:27

back on your life thinking how the heck

17:29

did I get here ? How am I up

17:31

at 2 am answering some high school

17:33

mom's DM and feeling guilty

17:36

about not answering the

17:38

DM ? And this

17:40

final time , learning this

17:42

lesson of saying yes means

17:44

also saying no was

17:47

such a life-changing

17:49

moment because I had the perspective

17:51

of remembering

17:53

all the other times that I've learned this

17:56

lesson in part and I

17:58

could see how this

18:00

was a pattern in my life and if I

18:02

didn't take this moment this

18:04

time in my life spring of 2024

18:06

, when I went viral talking

18:08

about money and my passion for the

18:10

CAA profession and how I like

18:12

to use it to live my dream life . If

18:15

I don't take this huge

18:17

moment for me instead

18:20

of for everyone else , I

18:22

will continue this pattern in my life and

18:25

I'll wake up when I'm 60 or

18:27

70 and 80 and wonder how I got

18:29

there . And so I

18:32

decided to do something different . I decided

18:34

to do something I have never done before , which

18:37

is to step back , go

18:40

behind the curtain , step

18:42

into the shadow whatever metaphor

18:44

works for you . I basically

18:46

realized not only did I need

18:48

to rest , but I needed to go silent

18:51

or quiet . I needed to stop

18:53

putting myself out there and trying

18:56

to meet other people's expectations , and

18:58

I stopped trying to produce

19:00

and perform , even though

19:02

those things felt good in the moment , I

19:05

could tell that I wasn't clear on

19:07

what it was that I wanted

19:09

versus what I was doing for other people

19:11

, and I knew that

19:13

this was a time in my life . I was also

19:15

just about to turn 40 . I turned 40

19:17

May 24th of 2024 , and

19:20

everything really just spiraled

19:23

into this perfect moment where I

19:25

chose myself and decided

19:27

to get quiet over the course of this summer

19:29

and figure out what

19:31

I truly want , to say yes , to

19:34

understand what that means

19:36

. I then say no to , and

19:38

to be super intentional about how

19:40

I move forward over the

19:42

next year , five years , 10 years

19:44

so that I don't wake up when I'm 80

19:47

and wonder how I got there . And

19:49

so I didn't know exactly

19:51

how I was going to move through this moment

19:53

, through this period of stepping back

19:55

, but I just knew I needed to start immediately

19:58

. So I did what I had to do

20:00

. I wrapped up season three of the podcast

20:02

, which was just another episode . I

20:05

sort of posted something on Instagram saying

20:07

I'm going away for a little while

20:09

, I'm retreating back into myself to work on

20:11

some things . I'll be back when

20:13

I'm back . And I

20:16

really got slow

20:19

and quiet . My kids wrapped up

20:22

the end of their school year . I

20:24

really challenged myself to

20:27

question why it was so

20:29

uncomfortable for me to

20:31

not answer

20:33

the DMs on the video , to

20:35

not follow up with all of the emails

20:37

that I had gathered at the Quad A and the leads

20:40

that I had gathered for the podcast . What

20:42

was it about that that made me

20:44

feel so deeply uncomfortable ? And

20:47

I did a lot of meditation

20:50

and journaling and walking and

20:52

I also during this time , during this summer

20:54

break , turned towards my husband

20:57

and my kids to

20:59

fill up my cup from them . To

21:02

really understand . Do

21:04

I need more than just my

21:06

husband and my kids and my clinical

21:08

work that I

21:12

think I want to do or that feel passionate

21:14

for me , like , what is it about those

21:16

that I need , and

21:23

could I find that elsewhere , in a way that doesn't pull me away or keep me up at night or , you

21:25

know , create more work for me ? And I

21:27

just wanted to be so intentional about

21:30

what I choose and how I spend

21:32

my time . And that is such a

21:34

beautiful privilege and it's something

21:36

that I just want to scream from the

21:39

mountaintops that the CAA profession

21:41

puts you in this privileged position

21:43

if you use it as a tool to

21:46

have the freedom to choose , to

21:48

be really intentional and

21:50

I was just realizing that I wasn't using

21:52

it to its full capacity because

21:55

I had never gotten quiet enough to truly

21:57

ask what is it that only

22:00

I want , if no one's

22:02

watching me , if money's not an issue

22:04

, if I'm not looking for external

22:06

validation , what is it that

22:08

I want to have in my life ? And

22:11

basically that was all

22:13

of May asking myself that question

22:15

, all of June . By

22:17

the end of July I started to feel some clarity

22:20

and certainly by August I

22:22

started to really see what

22:24

was for me and what

22:26

was for other people , and

22:28

I mean in all aspects of my life . But

22:30

of course , I'm sharing the professional aspects

22:32

with you , because that's mostly what you all are interested

22:35

in , and I really came up

22:37

with a yes to

22:39

two things . I want to do these two

22:41

things which I'm about to tell you , one of which , of

22:43

course , is season four of this podcast . But

22:46

I want to do these two things , throw

22:48

my energy and the time that I have allotted

22:50

to these things and sort of

22:52

jump on that train and see where

22:54

they go , because I know what

22:56

they add to my life and I

22:59

also know that I can support my other

23:01

yeses . I want to say yes to my husband

23:03

and my marriage . I want to say yes to my kids

23:05

and to my friends and my extended

23:07

friends , and I want to say yes

23:10

to maintaining our house

23:12

and just . I could go on and on . But I know

23:14

that I can do these two things and

23:16

say yes to the other things in my life that I want

23:19

, and be okay with all the no's

23:21

that that means . One of the no's is that my house

23:23

is oftentimes quite messy . There's

23:25

things that I can't do because

23:27

I'm choosing to say yes to this . My

23:30

first yes is this podcast

23:32

, season four . This podcast

23:34

brings me so much joy that I can't

23:37

get anywhere else . It

23:39

fills a piece of my soul

23:42

. Truly , this storytelling

23:44

aspect , hearing your stories

23:46

, interacting with all of you , sharing

23:49

such amazing CAA stories

23:51

with this community , just absolutely

23:54

makes me feel whole and I

23:56

couldn't say no to it . I

23:58

had to do this , at least for season

24:01

four . And so here I am and I'm

24:03

so grateful that you're here and I'm so

24:05

excited to walk this season four journey with

24:07

you all , because you will be walking

24:09

all of this life-changing-ness

24:11

right along with me this season . And

24:14

the other yes that I am finally

24:16

finally saying absolutely yes

24:18

to is doing

24:20

CAA Matters . Caa

24:23

Matters is the wellness curriculum that I

24:25

created for first year AA students

24:27

. I have started marketing it

24:30

to schools . I'm going to lead

24:32

that and teach that and I'm really looking for

24:34

AA school partners who are

24:36

interested in innovation and

24:38

CAA wellness and being on the cutting

24:41

edge of a whole-bodied

24:43

CAA , so a

24:45

CAA who's healthy and thriving , not

24:48

just in their grades and performance

24:50

, but really can sustain a

24:52

lifelong career that is fulfilling

24:55

and healthy and

24:57

well . So I'm moving forward

24:59

with that and I won't list the things

25:01

that I've said no to . But those

25:04

two yeses mean that I've said no to

25:06

a lot of other professional things , and

25:08

now , every time a new opportunity

25:11

or time spent

25:13

elsewhere comes my way , I can really

25:15

filter it through this discernment

25:18

of does this support my two

25:20

yeses ? Does this support my podcast

25:22

? Yes , and the CAA matters

25:24

yes , and if it doesn't , then

25:26

I know it's a no for me . And that

25:29

intentionality has been so

25:31

freeing , it has been so

25:33

joyful . It's actually opened

25:35

up more time in my life to

25:38

move slower , which is something

25:40

I value , and to

25:42

dive deeper into my meditation practice

25:44

. I recently graduated

25:47

from a mindfulness meditation teacher training

25:49

, which is something that I wanted to do for me

25:51

, and I've been incorporating that

25:54

into the CAA Matters curriculum

25:56

, and so those two

25:58

things are really enveloping each

26:00

other , and I'm just so

26:02

thrilled to be on the other side of this

26:05

lesson of learning that I

26:07

have to be so intentional with my yeses

26:09

, because saying yes to one

26:11

thing means saying no to a lot of other

26:14

things , and I want to be in control

26:16

of what I say yes to and

26:18

I don't want to be functioning just to make

26:20

other people happy , and so I

26:23

hope this podcast was enlightening

26:25

to you . I hope hearing my story maybe

26:28

gave you an aha or one

26:30

step closer to learning the lesson that

26:32

your life is trying to teach you . If

26:35

you're a CAA or an AA student

26:37

or perspective and have any questions for

26:39

me , you can go to the show notes . There's

26:41

a way to text me directly . You could

26:43

also follow me on Instagram at

26:45

Awakened Anesthetist , and

26:48

I will get back to you . When I get back to you

26:50

, certainly , I am no longer swamped

26:52

from the viral video that has all

26:54

passed swamped

27:00

from the viral video that has all passed and I just really encourage you all to consider

27:02

how your CAA profession or your future profession can

27:04

really allow you to live your own life

27:06

by design . And

27:09

if you want more stories on

27:11

how other people are doing that

27:13

, or to be expanded by CAA

27:15

stories so that you know it's

27:17

possible , keep following along

27:19

. There's going to be a lot of that on season four

27:21

, as well as a lot more wellness episodes

27:24

things that I have found helpful as a

27:26

CAA on my own wellness journey

27:28

. I'm so excited to share that with all of you

27:30

. All right , I think that's the story

27:32

I wanted to share . That's how going viral

27:35

changed my life , and let's

27:37

talk soon , y'all .
