Hey, everyone. Welcome back to how it's really going

0:02

with Shana Recker and I know it's been a bit,

0:04

but life has been a little bit hectic.

0:07

But I'm here and I'm excited to talk

0:09

about the topic of happiness.

0:12

And how happiness is,

0:15

what I believe is an inside job.

0:17

And I recently did one of my

0:19

painting reels with this topic. I

0:22

started doing these reels on

0:24

Instagram for my art account, where.

0:26

I'm painting and I have it kind

0:28

of in FA well, not kind of, it is in fast motion.

0:31

And then I overlay a little

0:33

story on top and I

0:36

got the idea. I saw somebody else doing something similar

0:38

and I love talking. I love talking

0:40

about personal development. I love talking about

0:42

just like anything really. And

0:45

I thought what a cool idea to be able to

0:47

send a message, but then do it visually

0:50

with my art. And they've

0:52

actually been going over really well. And I'm

0:54

super excited about that because it

0:56

is something that I really enjoy doing.

0:58

And this is part of the topic today.

1:01

About where happiness is cultivated.

1:03

And I really enjoy doing

1:05

them. I enjoy the creating of

1:07

the art. I enjoy putting together the real

1:09

I enjoy doing the voiceover. I

1:12

love it all. And so I

1:14

am just going to keep doing it anyways.

1:17

One of the topics I did last week was

1:19

happiness is, and I think I've written,

1:22

I wrote happiness is an inside game, which I believe

1:24

that it should have said happiness is an inside

1:26

job, but whatever. And

1:29

I wanted to explore that topic

1:31

more here, because obviously in the reels, you only

1:33

get 90 seconds to talk, which for me is very difficult.

1:36

So I wanted to just go even deeper

1:38

and further into that topic here

1:41

on the podcast, because, I life

1:43

is too short. To live it

1:45

unhappy. Like, I look

1:47

at my life and I see all the ups

1:49

and downs and all the things. And I look at how

1:51

much time I wasted, how

1:54

much time and energy I wasted.

1:57

On trying to force things that just

1:59

really weren't making me happy anyways,

2:01

or how much time and energy I

2:03

wasted. Worrying or trying to

2:05

do things specific things.

2:08

To make me happy and only to discover

2:10

that it was never going to work to begin

2:12

with. And so I want to unpack some

2:14

of that today. And I don't, as you always,

2:17

I don't have any real notes or anything, I'm

2:19

just going to kind of start talking about it. And

2:22

let's, let's just start with the

2:24

things that I've done in my life to try

2:26

and create happiness. Only

2:29

to discover that it really didn't work.

2:31

And let's just start with, relationships

2:34

first. There definitely

2:36

are. There are things in life that

2:38

can bring us. Like a temporary

2:40

happiness or make us feel

2:43

happy. And that, definitely

2:45

can be relationships and other people when I'm with

2:47

my kids, I'm happy, my kids, but

2:49

all my, almost all my kids have moved out.

2:51

We still have one at home. And

2:53

it makes me really happy when we're all

2:55

home together. That absolutely creates some

2:58

happiness for me, but

3:00

it doesn't necessarily last.

3:03

It's not like when they leave, I'm happy

3:05

forever when they leave. I get sad again sometimes.

3:07

Right. And, and so

3:09

there are different people that can bring

3:12

us that satisfaction or that feeling

3:14

of joy. But it's not

3:16

that, that lasting

3:18

internal feeling

3:21

of happiness. And so.

3:24

Follow me here. If you're not following, just

3:26

continue to keep following me. I promise you I'll pull this

3:28

all together. At some point. And

3:31

so the definitely there have been relationships

3:33

that I have tried to hang

3:35

on to, because I felt like being

3:38

with the person was the answer

3:40

to my happiness was that

3:42

I was happy. I was going to be

3:45

happy, happier in my life.

3:47

If this person was in it. And

3:50

that's not just even romantic relationships,

3:52

it's friendships, it's all kinds

3:54

of different things. Work relationships. And

3:58

I have discovered that it doesn't,

4:00

that doesn't work. There is a temporary piece

4:02

to it, and it absolutely is nice

4:04

to be around certain people, but

4:06

it's not the answer. It's not

4:09

the thing. That's going to actually

4:11

create lasting fulfillment

4:13

and what I'm talking about. Happinesses

4:15

and Inside job. I don't even necessarily

4:17

mean like just the feeling of happiness. It's

4:20

that feeling of fulfillment and contentment, you

4:22

know, it's that feeling of like gratitude

4:24

and like, I'm good. I feel good

4:26

about my life like that. That it's almost

4:28

like I wanted to just say internal flame. I

4:31

don't know if that's the right wording, but it's like that.

4:33

W what keeps that, that light on

4:35

in your heart? And,

4:37

and so there are things external from

4:39

us that can definitely sort of,

4:42

what do you say, fan the fan, the flame.

4:45

But they're not the things that keep the flame

4:47

going is what I'm trying to get at. And

4:49

so relationships. Absolutely. I

4:51

have. Definitely had the wrong

4:53

relationships in my life over the years.

4:56

That I thought were going to bring me happiness and

4:58

they never, they never did. And

5:00

then, you just realize that that person was actually

5:03

ended up being a jerk and cause more pain or whatever,

5:05

like there's that. The other thing.

5:08

That I have felt in my life that

5:10

was going to create. My happiness

5:12

was success in my work. It's like,

5:14

if I can just get to the top of the company,

5:16

if I can just get the promotion,

5:18

if I can just get the bigger paycheck, if I

5:21

can just get the status, if I can

5:23

just get, you know, the, the, the bigger house

5:25

and the, and that status thing, whether it's work

5:27

or life, that that will make

5:29

me happy. That's going to be the thing that's going

5:31

to, fulfill all my dreams. And I'm just going

5:33

to wake up every morning and feel like life is wonderful.

5:36

And as somebody who has been

5:39

in different careers and has had some, fairly

5:41

great success in my careers,

5:44

I have been to the top of, I was

5:46

at the top of my network marketing company. And

5:49

as great as it was when that happened

5:51

and, the temporary joy and happiness

5:53

that I felt when I, received that promotion.

5:56

And I was, in that space, It

5:58

wasn't, there were still lots

6:00

of things that were going on in my life that,

6:02

that were, I wasn't happy. Like

6:04

there was still lots of things going on. It wasn't like

6:07

achieving that status, erased all my

6:09

problems. And now I was waking up every morning

6:11

fulfilled. Right. And

6:13

so I've learned that

6:16

it's not about having more

6:18

or being more, that's going

6:20

to create happiness. And

6:22

that, that leads into the next one, which is money.

6:26

You know, we all feel like money is

6:28

going to bring us more happiness. And this is something I've

6:30

worked with with my son. Who's 22. He

6:32

gets really anxious around money. We've had some.

6:35

Interesting money stories in our lives, where

6:37

we've lost a lot of things and we've had to rebuild

6:40

things and, and, my kids have had to experience

6:42

that. And I believe that's kind of created

6:44

this a bit of money anxiety with

6:46

my son. And I

6:49

see that in him. And I'm, I'm,

6:51

because of the lessons that I've learned around money, because

6:53

I've been through some highs and lows when

6:55

it comes to money. At the top of my career, my network

6:58

marketing career, there were 20,

7:00

$25,000 a month. Paychecks coming

7:02

in. At the low of my whole

7:04

life, there was like hundreds of thousands

7:06

of dollars in debt and no way to

7:08

pay for it, so I've been on

7:10

the extremes of money. And

7:12

that's why I can fully, in

7:14

my core say to you that money doesn't

7:17

bring that lasting fulfillment

7:20

and happiness. It can bring temporary

7:22

joy and happiness because you can pay

7:24

bills and that feels good. You can buy things

7:26

and that feels good. You can go on trips and that feels

7:29

good. But it's, it's not

7:31

that last, it doesn't, it fans

7:33

the flame, but it doesn't keep the flame going because

7:35

there are a lot of people out there who have lots

7:37

of money who are miserable, who constantly

7:39

are complaining, who are not. Happy

7:42

people. And so, and

7:44

money can create more, just as many

7:46

problems as it can solve. And

7:48

so, I'm constantly trying to remind my son

7:51

that it's great to have it for sure,

7:53

because it definitely is, it makes

7:55

life easier. But it's

7:57

not, it's not going to

7:59

create that internal fulfillment.

8:01

And I read a book by. Oh,

8:04

geez. I need to find his name. Let me just find

8:06

his name. It's cold. The

8:08

illusion. I don't know why this

8:10

is what happens in perimenopause. You,

8:13

your brain is like Swiss cheese and

8:16

you lose pieces of your memory.

8:18

The illusion of money is the book.

8:21

By Kyle cease. So

8:24

I read this book and it's called the illusion of money

8:26

by Kyle sees. It is,

8:28

it was so good. It was such a good

8:30

book because he has this statement

8:33

and this is the one piece. Out of

8:35

the hole. I mean, the whole book is amazing, but this one.

8:38

There's one piece that he said in the book just really

8:40

resonated with me. He used this analogy of

8:42

like sitting on a park bench. With

8:45

apps, like no home, no clue. Like no, nothing

8:47

like just the shirt on your back kind of thing. If

8:50

you can find. Joy

8:52

happiness, fulfillment gratitude.

8:54

When you have nothing. That's

8:57

when you've truly wanted the game of life. And

9:00

when he said that, I was just like, That

9:03

is, there's so much truth

9:05

to that because. It's like we

9:07

think these external things.

9:10

Our what creates our happiness. But

9:12

if you can literally be, if you can literally have

9:14

nothing and trust me, there have been days. I mean, I

9:16

wouldn't say have nothing. I've always had a roof over my head.

9:18

We've always had food on the table. Like it's,

9:21

I realized there's some definite there's a

9:23

scale of what having

9:25

nothing means for different people. But

9:28

at the end of the day, that feeling of

9:31

despair of having, you

9:33

know, and not having enough. Is

9:36

is real. But if you

9:38

can look outside and be grateful

9:41

that you're alive, that

9:43

you're breathing, that the sun is shining, that your kids

9:45

are healthy. That you're alive, that

9:47

you know, have a roof over your head or have

9:50

food on the table, even when you have crippling

9:52

debt and all of these things going on,

9:54

maybe your house is being taken away or whatever, but

9:56

you can still find. That

9:58

inner. Feeling

10:00

of gratitude and just

10:03

general fulfillment. That

10:05

is when you've truly one. Like that's when you

10:07

can, then it doesn't matter. Like you

10:09

went, like, that's the thing. I feel like I've been through

10:12

some crazy things with money. That

10:14

I it's like it. Could

10:17

it get worse maybe, but I know

10:19

I can get through it and it doesn't, it's

10:21

not as. Crazy for

10:23

me too. It's not as worrisome for me.

10:25

It's not as Scary for me to

10:27

have something happen financially.

10:30

Because I've been in that

10:32

space before and I knew I could get through

10:34

it and it didn't kill me. And I'm good. And, And

10:36

I was still able to find joy and happiness

10:39

in my life, even when that was happening.

10:41

And that's truly a way

10:44

to a path to fulfillment is just

10:46

being happy. Even if you don't have the things,

10:48

even if you don't have the money, even if you don't.

10:50

Have the relationship or whatever is

10:53

just truly like just being grateful for

10:55

your life. And that is

10:57

where you can cultivate happiness. And

10:59

I was going to say the next thing on my list that I've

11:01

learned that doesn't bring happiness

11:03

is buying things, which is kind of in alignment

11:06

with the money. I've bought things in my life.

11:08

I'm somebody who I will say, I

11:10

think this is part of like being ADHD.

11:13

I think there's a dopamine hit that comes when we buy

11:15

things. When we purchase things. And

11:17

especially with the birth of Amazon, it's

11:19

like a little bit of dopamine every time

11:21

you placed the order. And then the box comes on your step

11:23

and. There I

11:26

am somebody who was like, oh, if I have that

11:28

handbag, then I'll be happy.

11:30

Oh, if I have those shoes in, that outfit

11:33

for this thing, I'm going to, then I'll be happy,

11:35

then it'll be good. And that

11:37

doesn't work either. I've I went

11:39

out and purchased a designer handbag.

11:42

Thinking that is something that I needed to have

11:44

as part of my, showing that my

11:47

businesses successful and that I'm successful.

11:49

And every time I picked up that

11:52

bag, as much as I, it was pretty, I loved

11:54

it. It was functional. I love that

11:56

too. But every time I picked up

11:58

that bag, I just, there was a feeling

12:00

around it that I, there was like an

12:02

EQ feeling around it. And

12:05

every time I took it out, I felt. A little

12:07

bit like an imposter and like, it

12:09

just didn't feel right. It was just like, and

12:11

I have nothing against. Expensive

12:13

handbags. If you can afford an expensive handbag

12:15

and that's your deal like for you

12:18

all about more power to you. I

12:20

knew I was in a point where I really couldn't

12:22

afford that. I mean, sure. I

12:24

bought it and that was fine, but

12:27

that money could have gone 1,000,001 other places.

12:30

And I just thought that if I had this,

12:32

then I was, I deserved it. I earned it.

12:34

Like I should have this. And

12:37

I was actually in a coaching program at that time.

12:39

That was. Promoting

12:41

that message to their people. Like you,

12:43

you need to step into that higher version

12:45

of yourself. And I thought this was me doing

12:47

that and that there was going to be some level

12:49

of happiness and fulfillment that came with that. And it

12:51

didn't, it was just full of emptiness and

12:53

gross. And

12:55

I ended up selling it cause I was just like, I don't even want

12:58

this anymore. And it's just it. And it just became

13:00

another bag that sat on my floor with the other

13:02

bags. And so

13:04

I know that buying

13:06

things. Is not,

13:08

there was a temporary joy that when it

13:10

showed up, it was cool and everything, but it

13:12

didn't last. It's not, I'm

13:14

not saying that you can't buy things because

13:17

buying things is wrong or icky. You can absolutely

13:20

buy things and they can bring you that temporary joy,

13:22

but they are not going to fulfill something

13:24

deep in your soul. That

13:27

is an inside game. That is an inside

13:29

job. That is a choice. And

13:31

I know that it's hard to make that

13:33

choice. A lot of days, it

13:35

can be really hard to make that choice. Especially

13:38

because people have things happen in their lives.

13:40

That aren't great. That are sad,

13:42

that are not fun. And

13:44

those days are hard. Those days you

13:47

don't wake up feeling joyful. You don't wake

13:49

up. And even though happiness is a choice,

13:51

it's not an easy choice to make. But

13:54

it doesn't mean that you have to live there forever

13:56

and that you can work on. Finding

13:59

the some gratitude. Finding some

14:02

little things in your life. And

14:04

that are, are happy. Maybe it's the

14:06

birds that you're seeing in your bird

14:08

feeder, maybe, it's the sun shining

14:10

that day. And I find gratitude

14:13

is that pathway to

14:15

that inner fulfillment is just being

14:18

grateful for the,

14:20

even the smallest things in your life

14:22

can help flip around that.

14:25

Potentially thing that might be going

14:27

on in your life, that situation, whether

14:30

it's the money thing like we went through,

14:32

or maybe it's a relationship thing, or

14:34

maybe it's a debt thing or whatever. That

14:37

if you can just separate

14:40

it from your inner fulfillment,

14:42

it's an external event that's happening.

14:45

It's not disregarding what's happening, but

14:47

it doesn't define. Your

14:50

life. It doesn't define your,

14:53

your inner happiness and fulfillment. It doesn't

14:56

create it. Doesn't put out the flame

14:58

and it doesn't create the flame. The flame

15:00

is yours. It's there. It's up to you.

15:03

Two. Tend to it

15:05

and make sure that it's constantly going.

15:08

And I don't know where the frig, that analogy

15:11

came from. I just completely

15:13

made that up. It seems to work.

15:15

But it is something that

15:18

is just, you have to work on it daily.

15:20

You have to work on it. By the minute

15:22

for some people as a perimenopausal

15:25

woman that wakes up most mornings feeling

15:27

super anxious, super irritated.

15:30

Super like, I don't want to talk

15:32

to anyone. I have to dig deep.

15:35

And. Work on

15:37

keeping my flame going. So

15:39

that I don't fall into a depression

15:42

or that I don't fall into a

15:44

really horrible day because I'm choosing

15:46

to, fester in my

15:48

anxiety and my mood. I

15:50

have to recognize that that's there.

15:52

It's not about discounting it at all.

15:55

I have to recognize that it's there, but then I have

15:58

to ask myself, do I want my whole day to be like

16:00

this? Listen, Shayna,

16:02

you got a cup of coffee in your hand. You got lots of clients.

16:04

You've got some work to do today. You've got your kids

16:06

are healthy. The sun is shining. It's

16:08

going to be a good day. Just take a

16:10

deep breath, maybe do a little meditation.

16:13

Take your vitamins, have a nice healthy

16:15

breakfast. Do some exercise and

16:18

choose to make it a good day. And

16:21

that's the kind of mental work

16:23

that I have to do right now in my life on

16:25

a daily, sometimes hourly basis just

16:28

to get through. But that's where

16:30

it's a choice for me to either.

16:33

Fester in what's going on externally

16:35

or deciding that I'm going

16:37

to make my happiness

16:39

a priority and do what I need to do.

16:42

Two. To keep it going. And,

16:45

and I think it's just so important that we

16:48

talk about this because it's so

16:50

easy to get stuck in

16:52

feeling like that your

16:55

happiness is something external from you and

16:57

chasing it. And I've spent

16:59

a lifetime chasing happiness,

17:02

trying to, hang out with the right people, have

17:04

the right clothes, have the right job,

17:06

do the right thing because all of those external

17:08

things were going to bring me that joy and fulfillment.

17:11

And let me tell you as somebody who has done

17:13

all of that stuff, and now I'm in a place where,

17:16

I don't have status in my careers

17:18

at all. Money-wise, we're better,

17:20

but it's not like our problems are solved.

17:23

My husband and I we've been married for 15 years.

17:25

We have a great relationship, but there are some bumps

17:27

in the road for sure. Like there's things that are happening.

17:30

But I'm not going to let those things

17:32

define whether I feel happy

17:34

in my life or not. I fucking love my life

17:37

right now. I've got three amazing children.

17:39

I've got a solid relationship.

17:41

I've got a roof over my head. I've got,

17:44

options in my careers to do

17:46

different things. I have opportunity

17:48

out of the, wazoo because of the

17:50

internet there's so many things that I'm

17:52

happy and excited about my life, regardless

17:55

of what. External

17:57

factors are going on. And

18:00

that is because I've learned how

18:02

to not let those things define

18:05

my happiness and fulfillment in my life.

18:07

And to just. Just

18:10

be loose and free and just decide that I'm going

18:12

to be happy and let the things happen. And you know what

18:14

the crazy thing is

18:17

is my days and hours and years spent

18:20

trying to force and create this.

18:22

Thing that I thought was going to bring me this happiness.

18:25

Is it, I'm at

18:28

a spot where I'm not doing any of that chasing. I'm not

18:30

doing any of that forcing. I'm not doing any, I'm just

18:32

doing what feels good to me in a day. Like I like to paint.

18:34

So I'm painting. I like to film my painting. So

18:36

I'm doing that. I like to do these little reels. I

18:38

like to work with my clients. I'm doing these done

18:41

for your services. We're doing these paint nights, which is

18:43

also fun and fulfilling. We're just like. More

18:45

in a relaxed place flying by the seat

18:47

of her pants, doing the things that we love, not

18:50

putting so much pressure on ourselves to do

18:52

all of this external stuff,

18:54

to try and quote unquote, make happiness.

18:57

And things are working.

19:00

Things are happening. So crazy that when

19:02

you let go and you release

19:04

that, that control, you release

19:06

that pressure to try and

19:09

make your life happy and just

19:11

be happy and re relax and let

19:13

go of the forcing. That

19:15

things magical things

19:17

that you wouldn't even expect in your

19:19

life. Because

19:22

you're in an, an allowing state. And I believe

19:24

that being in that state of allowing.

19:27

And not searching

19:29

so much and not putting so much pressure

19:31

on yourself. Is truly

19:33

where if you can get to that place and B

19:36

look around and regardless of what's happening and feel

19:38

that fulfillment and joy for your life.

19:41

That it that's where you

19:43

get rewarded for that. I don't know how

19:45

else to describe it. And that's how it feels to me.

19:48

And I hate that it's taken me

19:50

almost 50 years to figure this out,

19:53

but I had to go through those

19:55

things in my life in order

19:57

to get here. It's

20:00

just the way that it is. It's just the way

20:02

that I've had to do it. Not that to say that

20:04

you need to be, you have to go 50 years

20:06

in your life in order to find that. But I do believe we all

20:08

have journeys. And you've got to, you're

20:10

going to keep going through things until

20:13

you get it. And once you get it, then

20:15

you get it and then you move into the next

20:17

phase of your life. And sure. There'll

20:19

be more struggles. There'll be more things. We

20:22

all have struggles. I got struggles. You've got struggles.

20:25

We all got struggles, but we don't have to let those

20:27

struggles define us. And don't let those struggles

20:29

to find your happiness and fulfillment

20:31

in life. And that's the

20:33

real, the game. When I say happiness

20:36

is an inside game. Or

20:38

inside job, that's the work. That's

20:40

the game we play is every day. Is, am I going to let

20:42

this, am I going to let this situation?

20:45

Take over my, my life

20:47

and career, cause all this grief. Or

20:50

am I going to know that it's there

20:52

deal with it, but I'm still going to be happy

20:54

regardless. I'm still going to find joy in my life

20:56

regardless. That's the game

20:59

that we're constantly playing. And

21:01

I think when you have the awareness

21:04

that it is something that you have

21:07

the control over, because I think a lot of people

21:09

are going on autopilot and they don't know, and they

21:11

just wake up every day and they're just in this. This

21:13

ugly place and they can't get out of it because

21:15

they don't realize that they actually have

21:18

the lever. They have the control. And

21:20

it's up to them to do

21:22

the work on the daily, hourly

21:25

minutely basis. Of

21:27

choosing to find the good

21:29

in the situation. And

21:31

not every situation has good things in it.

21:33

But it's finding the good just in your

21:36

day to day life. Just the fact that you're breathing,

21:38

if it comes down to that and that's where you need to

21:40

start. That is

21:42

one place to start. And

21:44

then you, what's the next thing you agree before, and I'm telling you, if

21:46

you are feeling really, really

21:49

not great. One

21:51

talk to somebody, always, always, always

21:53

talk to somebody. You, you,

21:55

you think you're alone in what you're going through.

21:57

I guarantee you, if you open up and talk to somebody,

22:00

they know somebody or going through it themselves,

22:02

or know 10 other people who are going through it,

22:04

like. Talking things out

22:06

helps release that. That

22:09

internal sort of. Feeling

22:11

of, of when we're going through

22:14

something. Talk to people

22:16

get support. Literally

22:18

right. And list of gratitude. Gratitude is

22:21

one of the highest energies

22:23

out there. And when you can

22:25

list a it's an

22:27

emotion, gratitude is an emotion it's on the top

22:29

of the scale of emotions. When

22:31

you can con consistently list all the

22:33

things that you're grateful for and keep going, keep going, keep

22:35

going until you start to feel that shift

22:37

in your heart. You will feel it, it

22:40

will happen. And if it doesn't happen for

22:42

after item number three, four or five, it will

22:44

happen at some point, but just keep

22:46

feeling that gratitude and keep thinking about the

22:48

things you're grateful for. And you will turn

22:51

those frowns upside down. I swear that

22:53

it is a great way to help shift your energy.

22:56

If you're not feeling. So

22:58

great. And sometimes in the

23:00

morning when I wake up and I'm not feeling so great.

23:02

I I'll just rhyme off a few things that I'm grateful

23:05

for. Before I even get out of bed just

23:07

to help shift the mood. And then I like to move

23:09

my body. Exercise is also a great way

23:11

to shift things. Eating healthy,

23:14

having conversations, talking to people,

23:16

those are all great ways to move through.

23:18

These external pieces of crap

23:21

that are going on in our lives in order

23:23

to work through them and get back to

23:26

being fulfilled and happy.

23:28

And also another thing you can do is

23:30

spend time doing the things that you love

23:32

when I was at my. Low point a couple

23:34

of years ago in my career. I started

23:36

painting because it's something I love to do. And I

23:38

wanted something for myself and I needed something

23:41

for myself and I started painting

23:43

simply out of sheer joy.

23:46

And just continue to keep doing it. And that's something

23:48

that is starting to open up and evolve

23:51

in my life and really awesome ways that

23:53

I would never, in a million years I've said I would

23:55

be doing. And that's that piece

23:57

of, of doing something that brings you joy, letting

23:59

go of control and just having fun.

24:01

That's the thing that keeps that flame. Your

24:04

inner flame going. So

24:06

make time for that make time for that in

24:08

your life. I promise you that will definitely

24:11

make a shift. If you're a D if you're going

24:13

through something. So.

24:16

That's really what I wanted to share today. I

24:18

couldn't do that in a 92nd reel, but I

24:20

can definitely. Jabber

24:22

on about it here on the podcast. So

24:24

I hope that this hits in

24:26

the best of ways for you today. And

24:29

just know if you are struggling, if you are going through

24:31

something you're not alone. Somebody

24:34

else has been through it, gotten to the other side.

24:36

So talk to people you never know,

24:38

just who's there that can help you,

24:40

that can support you. Even just talking

24:42

out your feelings just makes such a difference. So

24:44

don't be shy. Don't be afraid. There's

24:47

so many people in this world that, have

24:49

experience and want to help. Just to be an

24:51

ear just to, for you to just talk it

24:53

out sometimes just saying the words, just

24:55

get it out of your system. Yeah.

24:58

That's it. That's all I wanted to say. Hope

25:00

you guys are doing well. If you

25:02
