0:59

1:01

Feel like the last solo episode.

1:04

I didn't really give you any

1:06

person or updates. it was more

1:08

of a q and a. So

1:10

things have been very good lately.

1:12

We've spent the last couple of

1:14

weeks here in Austin. It's been

1:17

really nice to be at home.

1:19

We leave for I next week

1:21

I'm for some exciting put costs

1:23

interviews and other things. Greg and

1:25

I actually found out that we

1:27

are entrepreneur of the Year finalists

1:30

which is in same it. To

1:32

be considered as potentially entrepreneur of

1:34

the year, we shall see if

1:36

it really does help at all.

1:38

Probably faint because that is such

1:40

a dream come true. It's done

1:42

by region so we are considered

1:44

finalists for the Los Angeles area

1:47

which are. There are such amazing

1:49

entrepreneurs and ally. So again, such

1:51

an honor to be considered and

1:53

we're doing some final interviews for

1:55

that in I lay the Week

1:57

of the Thirteenth which is so.

2:00

They they I'm at. We had

2:02

Greg's parents my inlaws visit think

2:04

it was last week. Now I'm

2:06

and that was so fun to

2:08

have family in town. We went

2:10

on the boat we cooked, we

2:12

went out to dinner we walk.

2:14

it was really really lovely. And.

2:17

That was where I started eating bagels

2:19

which has become my new hyper six

2:21

a sense. I got a book. Colds?

2:24

what is it Cold? Everything But read

2:26

by Eric Kaiser. I want to say

2:28

on Amazon or legit, but I see

2:30

you guys have had a lot of

2:33

questions about it. It's not necessarily like

2:35

healthy, it's not gluten free or dairy

2:37

free or any of those things, but

2:40

I really feel like making baked goods

2:42

and home is just as superior option

2:44

because you can use organic, unbleached fluid.

2:47

Best eggs like the ingredients really massa

2:49

and it's is really fun for me.

2:51

So it's like a weekend tree and

2:54

I've been making his bagel and they

2:56

are slowly but surely improving every time

2:58

I make them. They are tricky like

3:00

I had to start the dough for

3:03

days beforehand but as you have to

3:05

make something called liquid Levant which is

3:07

like starter essentially ah and I had

3:10

thought it really early. The

3:12

either way the bagels have. Them bringing me so

3:14

much joy. On I think everyone eating them

3:16

is also experiencing joy. Say that makes me

3:18

how base I think next time I try.

3:21

A. By gets we shall see

3:23

an but yeah. Baiting has just

3:25

like really brought out this creative

3:27

side of me and again like

3:30

I'm really in this era of

3:32

hobbies. Oh guys, My. Chickens arrived

3:34

to say to their six weeks

3:37

old they was sought laying until

3:39

they six months so we have

3:41

some months to wait. Fags but

3:43

like they are looking like teenagers

3:45

at this point and two of

3:47

them are already best cities which

3:49

I just think is so for

3:52

can keep like basketball fans. and

3:54

yeah they get dropped off today

3:56

a false pm. I. Believe will

3:58

have eleven coming. Crazy.

4:01

A mixture. Of breeds we've got silky,

4:03

the cost fiber. He sir I days

4:05

we've got Salmond Sava rallies I think is

4:07

cold. I'll have to like figure out what

4:10

the breeds the again like I'm so new

4:12

to this and I will be figuring it

4:14

out as I go. If you guys want

4:16

to see my chicken coop. I. Did

4:18

a tour on my Instagram atmar in

4:20

a while and and I gave like

4:22

a full rundown of like Coop and

4:24

all but if from features and you

4:26

guys have loved it. Cigarettes had to

4:29

out of also been reading a lot

4:31

more. I have been reading every single

4:33

night and reading and Demon Copperhead right

4:35

now which is a Pulitzer prize winners.

4:37

I think a lot of people are

4:39

reading and is quite difficult to get

4:41

into cause the language is really different

4:43

but then once you get into it

4:45

gets really good and I also just

4:47

feel like it's been. A

4:49

very calming way of setting the tone

4:51

before bed if you haven't listened yet.

4:53

by the way guys I interviewed asleep

4:55

expert named Todd under sense we talked

4:57

all things sleep or the best advice

4:59

to sleep, how to set up your

5:01

night routine and optimize your sleep because

5:04

it's so for can employ and no

5:06

matter if your goal is to lose

5:08

weight, build muscle, clear skin sleep is

5:10

the. Or of everything's

5:12

on. He told me. That

5:15

the content you're watching is

5:17

really, really important if you're

5:19

watching some saying like. A

5:22

murder mystery that's really stressful and

5:24

violent. Watching that before bad is

5:26

quite damaging because your brain truly

5:28

believes that you are. A part

5:30

of what you're watching. So reading.

5:34

Has. Been just a much more com way

5:36

of like easing into my nighttime routine. So

5:38

I'll have my blue. Like all says on

5:40

I'll have my red light bulb next to

5:43

me. Greg's already asleep. Greg goes to sleep

5:45

like a forty five an hour, has his

5:47

eye mask on and I'll just read next

5:49

to him and his been ready lovelace. I

5:51

started reading and hugs and take those on

5:53

vacation because I didn't bring a book and

5:56

I just was given a random book by

5:58

the lost and found at the. hotel.

6:01

And I read the book like in three days and

6:03

I was like, Oh my God, I forgot how much

6:05

I love reading. And so now I've picked it up

6:07

again. And I'm really excited about it. Something

6:09

else I wanted to share with you guys. So

6:12

I know I talk a lot about acne and I hope

6:14

people aren't like tired

6:16

of hearing about it. But I

6:18

really feel like this advice I'm

6:20

about to give could be applied

6:23

to any health issue or mental

6:25

issue, whether it be digestive health,

6:27

a broken bone immunity. I've been

6:29

really struggling with my mental health around

6:32

my skin lately, just kind of hitting

6:34

a wall and feeling like really defeated

6:36

and frustrated to go from,

6:38

you know, clearing it up

6:40

and then having it come back. It's

6:42

like, what am I

6:45

doing wrong at this point? Like I've

6:47

tried everything. And also trying to conceive

6:50

at the same time. It's just almost

6:52

like too much pressure for

6:54

me. And I just reached

6:56

this point where I was like, I need to change

6:59

the way I'm thinking about this because clearly

7:01

it's not working. And I

7:04

think because I've had acne for like

7:06

on and off for 10 years

7:08

now, I really identify with

7:11

acne. Like I view myself

7:13

as someone that has acne

7:15

like I say words like

7:17

my acne or you know,

7:21

my acne is back, my acne is

7:23

bad. I am someone with acne and

7:25

these are ownership words. I'm

7:28

basically identifying myself as someone that

7:30

has acne rather than the acne.

7:33

It's separate from who I am. And I

7:35

really want to start changing my language and

7:38

the way I think about it. And

7:40

I actually had a really lovely conversation

7:43

with Sammy Clark, who many of you

7:45

probably know. She's a fitness influencer in

7:47

the space and she has struggled with

7:49

acne too. And I was basically just

7:51

telling her how much I've been struggling

7:53

with it on a

7:55

mental level. And she recommended

7:57

something called You

8:00

guys are going to die. Dick therapy.

8:03

Now, before you jump to conclusions, it's not

8:05

what you think. It

8:07

actually stands for a mantra

8:10

and I'm going to read it to

8:12

you. Direct, instruct, command,

8:14

compel, and condition. I

8:18

will link this video in the description

8:20

box below of this podcast because I

8:23

listened to this woman

8:25

explain this mindset shift this

8:28

morning. I had my eyes closed in front of

8:30

my red light and

8:33

she basically was talking about needing

8:36

to change the language around

8:38

our health problems. Stopping negative

8:40

language around health and acne can

8:42

change the outcome. And I

8:44

was thinking about it. And

8:47

since my weight loss journey, I

8:50

have identified myself as someone

8:52

who can lose weight

8:54

when they want to. So like, I

8:57

don't talk to myself in a way where I'm like,

8:59

I can never lose weight. Um,

9:01

I find it hard to lose weight. I

9:04

hold on to weight. Like I don't talk to

9:06

myself that way. And I was thinking like, that's

9:09

interesting because I feel like I don't struggle in

9:12

terms of like body, like

9:14

positivity, you know, like if I

9:16

decide I want to gain muscle, then I do, if

9:18

I decide I want to lose weight, then I do.

9:21

But with acne, I have decided

9:24

that I'm someone who will forever have

9:26

acne. So she

9:28

was basically saying, I'm in turn manifesting

9:30

to make my acne worse because every

9:33

day I'm waking up and saying, I'm

9:35

have acne. I will have acne. I

9:38

am acne. So I

9:41

really want to be intentional

9:43

about changing the language because

9:45

I've tried everything from supplements

9:47

to diet to lifestyle. But

9:50

have I really tried to change my

9:52

internal language around it? Not really. And

9:55

I had long conversations with my therapist about

9:57

this. And I think, you know, after having

9:59

my. brain scanned with Dr. Aemond, I

10:01

discovered that I have somewhat of OCD

10:03

patterns in my brain. And OCD is

10:05

very genetic and I see it in

10:07

my family as well. And my

10:10

OCD has definitely manifested in my

10:14

skin. I'm constantly checking my

10:16

skin. I struggle with skin picking.

10:18

I struggle with obsessive

10:21

research around acne and obsessive

10:24

ordering new supplements to try. And

10:26

it is something that

10:29

I truly have grown obsessive

10:32

around, I think. And I think that's made

10:34

it really difficult for me to heal because

10:36

I'm constantly hyperfixated on the problem. So

10:40

this DIC therapy,

10:42

D-I-C-C-C, is something that

10:45

you say to yourself when you're in the shower,

10:47

when you're getting ready, every time you have a

10:49

compulsion to look at your skin, or, you know,

10:51

this could apply to a digestive problem or immunity

10:54

if you're someone that says, wow, I get

10:57

sick every time I go out, I get

10:59

sick every time I travel, then

11:01

you will get sick. But if you say to yourself,

11:04

I am healthy, I will not get

11:06

sick, you are manifesting better

11:08

health for yourself. So for

11:10

example, for me, what I

11:13

will say and what I've already said to myself

11:15

about 10 times today is I

11:18

direct, I instruct, I command,

11:20

I compel and condition my

11:22

skin to work perfectly and

11:24

properly and powerfully because I

11:26

know that it can. And

11:28

I'm going to say that to myself over

11:31

and over and over all day, every time

11:33

I feel like my mind is slipping back

11:35

into the negative, which will happen inevitably all

11:37

day, because I tend to think about my

11:39

skin all day, I will bring this mantra

11:41

back up. And I'm going to try this,

11:43

guys. Like, I'm on like day one right

11:45

now, I'm going to keep doing this and

11:47

report back. But I just wanted to offer

11:50

that knowledge to anyone who is struggling with a health

11:52

problem or you know, any it could be anything. Just

11:55

fill in the blank, you know, for your own issue.

12:05

I have really struggled to find

12:07

skincare that I trust over the

12:09

years, struggling with acne, having super

12:11

sensitive skin. And that's

12:13

why I'm obsessed with clear stem. You guys have heard

12:16

me talk about them. I post about them. I

12:18

was using it far before I

12:20

even worked with them. And it's

12:23

such an honor to work with

12:25

people who have experienced acne themselves.

12:27

Kaylee and Danielle are amazing founders

12:29

and they created clear stem, which

12:31

is the first skincare line that

12:33

combines all three categories, anti-aging, anti-acne

12:36

and clean, meaning free of hormone disruptors

12:38

and poor clogging ingredients. So

12:41

not only do I use their skincare, but

12:43

I use their sunscreen, I use their body lotion

12:46

and now I use their new hair care,

12:48

which is really, really hard to find hair care

12:50

that is safe for skin. And as you guys

12:52

know, when you're showering, it does end up

12:54

getting all over your face. So it is really

12:56

important. And I have to say it is

12:59

so fresh feeling. I'm obsessed with both of

13:01

the products. I feel like my hair also

13:03

feels really, really soft and shiny. I

13:05

also love their acne lab test, which is

13:08

helping thousands of people get to the root

13:10

cause of their acne through comprehensive lab testing

13:12

and lifestyle based recommendations. I think if you're

13:14

struggling with acne, the first thing you should

13:17

do is get lab tested because it can

13:19

reveal so many underlying

13:21

issues and that really is

13:23

the core of healing. Visit

13:38

guys know that Greg and I are obsessed

13:40

with optimizing our sleep routine. I feel like

13:42

we have it down to a science now.

13:44

And at this point, I'm sure you've heard

13:46

of 8 sleep. It is a

13:48

buzz worthy sleep technology called the pod.

13:50

It can be added to your existing

13:52

mattress like a fitted sheet to automatically

13:54

cool down or warm up your side

13:57

of the bed and in turn improve

13:59

your sleep quality dramatically. Greg and

14:01

I have been using the 8 Sleep for I

14:03

think two years now and it

14:06

is a non-negotiable in our routine. We

14:08

cool it down every night to optimize

14:10

sleep. I can see through tracking

14:12

my sleep how much it has improved my

14:15

HRV, how much deeper I'm sleeping

14:17

and I can tell in my energy levels.

14:19

Today I want to share some exciting

14:21

news because Pod just got an upgrade.

14:24

14:26

14:28

14:30

elevates automatically. It also clinically is proven

14:32

I think we're going to hop into

15:22

some voice messages. I can't wait to

15:24

hear what you guys have been leaving.

15:26

Hello my girls. Happy day.

15:28

My question for you is

15:30

about skincare. I'm

15:33

wondering what you do for

15:35

your body's skincare. I'm obviously pretty up on my

15:37

skincare for my face but I'm looking to share

15:39

love with my body and I feel like the

15:41

problem I'm having is that there's a lot more

15:43

surface to cover. So I'm wondering

15:46

what oils do you use? Creams do

15:48

you use? What routines

15:50

are we doing? Are we doing

15:52

like dry scrubbing and fully eating? If so,

15:55

how often? Do we body

15:57

contour? Are we oiling and

15:59

then creaming? give me the goods,

16:01

I'm here for all of the advice. Is

16:03

it like at night before we go

16:06

to bed? Every night we're doing it.

16:09

What areas do you find need more love? Give

16:11

me all the advice because I'm looking to give

16:13

my skin care my body a little

16:15

bit of attention and I'm

16:17

here for all the tips. Thanks for girls. If you

16:19

have a great week, love the podcast and everything you're

16:21

doing and I'll talk soon. Bye. Hi

16:25

Lily, thank you for the question. So I

16:27

have personally

16:29

never struggled with body acne and I'm not

16:31

sure if you have, I think you're just

16:33

saying you want to like put more love

16:35

and care into it. I've never had a

16:37

body acne, only face acne, which is crazy.

16:39

But I

16:42

understand the struggle because I was really

16:44

having a hard time finding products that

16:46

weren't clogging my pores and

16:48

I could take care of my body skin. So in

16:50

the shower, I actually use Zuma

16:52

Body Wash. It is an all

16:54

organic, all natural, no

16:57

artificial colors or scents

17:00

and it is a body wash that

17:02

I use and it's like perfect non-pore

17:05

clogging. Really, really love it. In

17:07

terms of lotion, I've been loving the

17:10

Clear Stem Body Lotion. It's very moisturizing.

17:12

It's like thin and soaks in quickly.

17:14

I use that every single

17:16

time I shower. Because I spray tan

17:18

so frequently, I want to keep my

17:20

skin moisturized and it helps the tan

17:22

last longer. I don't

17:25

do any oils or anything crazy just

17:27

because of how sensitive my face skin

17:29

is and I want to be really

17:32

cognizant of that. My husband Greg uses

17:34

a tallow all over his body every

17:36

night, which I'm so happy for

17:39

him. It looks amazing. He's glowing, but I get

17:41

frustrated because I want to lay on him and

17:43

I'm like, your tallow is getting in my

17:45

face pores. So do

17:48

that. Do with that what you will. Hi

17:52

Mari and maybe Cee. This

17:54

is Emily. I am a fellow

17:57

Austinite and just wanted to say I love that

17:59

you guys. are here now and exploring

18:01

the city. It's been just so much fun

18:03

to watch as a fellow transplant. Anyways,

18:06

I wanted to ask, I'm starting

18:09

to introduce more meat into

18:11

my diet, potentially a more carnivore

18:13

based lifestyle, and just kind of

18:15

getting started with it. So, wanted

18:18

to ask in your move to

18:20

Texas what it's been like to

18:22

incorporate that into your routine, what

18:24

resources you have found

18:26

most beneficial for access to

18:28

things like beef or any

18:31

recommendations and just overall things that

18:33

you have noticed since you've made

18:35

that a priority in your

18:37

nutrition plan. I would love

18:39

to hear any updates and any thoughts on just

18:42

kind of how that practice works best for you.

18:45

Love you guys. Aww,

18:47

thanks Emily. Okay, so

18:49

meat. Let's talk meat. Before

18:53

my true healing

18:55

journey I always prioritized

18:57

protein, but I was

19:00

definitely getting most of my protein from

19:02

like chicken, I was eating salmon every

19:04

day, tuna every day, and then after

19:06

discovering that I had heavy

19:09

metals in my system, which I think many,

19:11

many, many of us do, I

19:14

kind of tried to limit the amount

19:16

of fish I was eating. I eat

19:18

wild caught salmon probably one

19:20

to two times a week, and

19:22

then other than that I mostly eat

19:24

grass-fed pasture-raised red

19:27

meat, whether it be ground beef,

19:30

filet, ribeye, sirloin,

19:35

lamb chops sometimes kind

19:37

of depends. I

19:40

personally feel absolutely incredible eating red meat.

19:42

I feel like my energy levels are

19:44

fantastic. I feel satiated, I feel full,

19:46

I feel strong. I am quite

19:49

tall so I have to

19:52

eat a good amount of protein. It's

19:54

recommended you eat a gram per pound of lean

19:56

body mass. I think for us women, it's a

19:58

great way to do it. it's really important to

20:00

eat a lot of protein at the beginning

20:03

of the day. I've even heard that it's

20:05

recommended to eat 40 grams of protein for

20:07

breakfast because you're starting on the right

20:09

foot. And I don't know

20:11

the scientific language around this, but overnight,

20:13

your body is basically going through protein

20:15

synthesis and you want to like reload

20:17

your body with protein. So it's

20:19

a big priority for me. In

20:22

terms of resources, I always recommend that you

20:24

guys go to your local farmer's market, look

20:26

for that grass fed meat. You

20:29

really want to be careful about that

20:31

because the grain that they feed cows

20:33

in America is really, really concerning and

20:35

you don't want to be consuming meat that's

20:37

been eating that inflammatory

20:40

type diet. So

20:42

grass fed, I love, my

20:45

husband and I order from white

20:47

oak pastures all the time.

20:49

We get big boxes of frozen meat

20:51

and whenever we want something, we just

20:53

defrost it. For example, I had the,

20:55

they call it tips and tails, but

20:57

it's just like tips of sirloin for

20:59

breakfast this morning. They have

21:02

amazing filet, amazing options. We also

21:04

love Maui Nui venison. They

21:07

sponsor the show, but we ordered

21:09

it before that regardless because it

21:11

is like the highest quality venison

21:13

you can get. It's harvested in

21:15

Hawaii, naturally. So

21:18

highly recommend you guys check that out as well. Also

21:21

like meat is amazing for

21:24

hormones. So many benefits. If you want to

21:26

listen to my episode with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon,

21:28

she speaks a ton about that. Hi,

21:32

Mari. I enjoy listening

21:34

to your podcast so, so much. Um,

21:37

I was just curious how

21:39

you're preparing for, I guess,

21:41

mentally, especially the changes that

21:43

your body goes through during

21:45

pregnancy. I had a baby

21:48

a year and a half ago and prior

21:50

to that, I had lost like 70 pounds.

21:53

And then when I got pregnant, I

21:55

gained like 70 pounds. Um,

21:57

and a year and a half later I've lost

21:59

mostly. that except the tongue but my

22:01

body's definitely changed so just curious how

22:04

you're preparing to kind of navigate the

22:07

changes that come with pregnancy if

22:09

at all. Thank you, love you, bye. Hi

22:12

Katie, thank you for the question. I have to

22:16

be so honest like I don't

22:18

think that I've mentally gone there

22:20

yet because I'm just so excited and

22:23

ready to be pregnant

22:25

like I think I'm so focused on actually

22:27

getting there now that I'm not even

22:30

really thinking about the weight gain. I mean

22:32

I feel so

22:34

mentally different than I did in the past when

22:36

I gained a lot of weight. I feel so

22:38

much healthier and stronger mentally and physically and I

22:40

feel like I will be

22:42

so grateful to be pregnant that I can't imagine

22:45

that I'll be too concerned

22:47

but that's obviously naive. I don't even know

22:49

what I'm getting myself into. I feel like

22:52

I have a great support system around me

22:54

and the excitement will be so prevalent

22:57

that the body part

22:59

won't affect me as much but

23:01

we'll see like maybe I'll have

23:04

to rediscover that

23:06

like side of myself where

23:09

I need to tap into the mental strength

23:11

again to get through it but

23:13

I will obviously bring you guys along the journey

23:15

and keep you updated. I am

23:18

quite passionate about diet

23:21

during pregnancy. I've heard a lot

23:23

of advice in terms of

23:25

eating like salmon roe for the

23:27

baby's brain development and blueberries like

23:29

I'm really obsessed with that kind

23:31

of thing and optimizing nutrition in

23:33

order to help the fetus so

23:35

we'll keep you guys updated on

23:38

that as well. I

23:47

am obsessed with wild grain. I make

23:50

croissants from my husband Greg every single

23:52

weekend and it's so so easy. We

23:54

actually just had his parents visit and

23:56

I made sourdough. I also made the

23:59

croissants and and they just come out

24:01

so fluffy and gorgeous and like so

24:03

good. Plus I love the fact that

24:05

the ingredients are like whole good ingredients,

24:07

like real butter, real flour. Our personal

24:09

favorite has to be croissants. It takes

24:12

20 minutes, you just pop it in

24:14

the oven and they come out super

24:16

fresh. If you're hosting, this is the

24:18

ultimate hack. Everyone will think you like

24:20

handmade these croissants and they just come

24:22

out so perfect. I put them in

24:24

a little basket, put them on

24:26

the table and everyone's happy. Wild

24:28

grain is the first ever baked from

24:30

frozen subscription box for sourdough breads,

24:32

fresh pastas and artisanal pastries. Every

24:35

item baked from frozen in 25 minutes

24:37

or less, no thawing required. And you

24:39

can now fully customize your wild grain

24:41

box. So you can choose from any

24:43

combination of breads, pastas and pastries. You

24:45

can even build a box of only

24:47

breads, only pastas or only

24:49

pastries if you'd like. I

24:51

also recommend trying the cookies, they are

24:53

absolutely insane. For a limited time,

24:55

you can get $30 off the first box plus

24:58

free croissants in every box. When

25:01

you go to wildgrain.com/powe to

25:04

start your subscription, you heard

25:06

me, free croissants in every

25:08

box and $30 off your

25:10

first box. When you go

25:13

to wildgrain.com/powe, that's wildgrain.com/powe or

25:15

you can use promo code

25:17

powe at checkout. Hi,

25:28

I've been loving your podcast. I

25:30

had a question, you talked about

25:33

mushrooms in chocolate and

25:36

fun, active mushrooms. I'm really starting to

25:38

see that. I don't

25:40

tolerate alcohol as much anymore. So I was wondering

25:42

about that. I don't know if you mentioned it

25:44

anywhere or if there's a link. Thank

25:47

you. So

25:50

if you guys didn't hear, in

25:52

a couple of solo episodes ago, I

25:54

told a story about my house manager

25:57

accidentally taking our mushroom chocolate.

26:00

because she thought it was real chocolate, which was one

26:02

of the funniest things that's ever happened. But

26:04

then after that, I got tons

26:07

of messages asking me for the

26:09

mushroom company. And I

26:12

don't know if legally

26:14

I should say, I don't want

26:17

to like be a drug dealer, you know what I mean? I don't

26:19

want to be like a secondhand drug dealer. But if

26:22

you just do a little bit of research, guys,

26:24

you will find it like it has a big

26:26

Instagram page, it's out of Canada. That's all I'll

26:28

say. And you know,

26:32

I was like really hesitant to tell the story because I was like,

26:34

Oh my god, like this is kind of like a vulnerable thing to

26:36

share that I partake in. But

26:41

I mean, I've already said I might

26:43

as well just continue. At this point,

26:45

like I feel like a lot of

26:47

people my age are trying micro dosing

26:49

or the mushroom chocolate. It's

26:52

such a depending

26:54

on the type you get, I

26:57

find that I laugh more, I get

26:59

more childlike. I am in the moment

27:01

like I completely forget about my phone.

27:04

It like encourages play and

27:06

socializing and connection. And I

27:09

have no hangover from it. I

27:11

will say I don't sleep as well. And

27:13

I'm being careful about it because I'm trying

27:15

to conceive. So I'm like limiting

27:18

the amount that I'm doing for sure, like

27:20

if any, but I personally think

27:22

it's a great alternative. I don't

27:26

want to get in trouble there. So that's where I'll leave it. Hey,

27:29

Mari, my name is Molly. I'm from Minnesota. I've

27:31

been following you since 2018, starting

27:33

with your PDF

27:36

gym guides. Just

27:38

want to say congratulations on your

27:41

crazy journey of life and success

27:43

in your business. But I have

27:45

two questions regarding social media and kind

27:49

of your relationship with it. Now, if

27:52

you feel that if you

27:55

could go back in time, would you still

27:57

make the decision to have your success

28:00

to be built off social media and do you

28:03

think it would be possible without social media? And

28:06

then my second question is with

28:08

regards to you having

28:10

kids in the future how you're gonna

28:12

handle their relationship and exposure

28:14

to social media and

28:17

with social media and if you feel that

28:21

You would not want them to have careers based

28:23

off social media Etc and

28:25

how you're gonna handle that. Thanks for all you do

28:29

Whoa Thank You Molly. Oh my

28:31

god. That's a lot to think about So

28:34

yeah, it's like a discussion that I've had a

28:36

bunch of times with Greg about our kids But

28:38

I'll start with myself. I

28:40

don't regret Starting

28:42

a business on social media. I just think

28:44

that's the reality of The

28:47

day and age we're in I think any successful

28:49

company kind of needs to have a social media

28:51

presence Community, it's just

28:53

the way businesses run now and I feel

28:55

really grateful That

28:59

I have the community I have here on

29:01

the podcast on Instagram It

29:03

was a very magical experience and I feel like I

29:05

got first-hand knowledge

29:08

about my customer through speaking to them on

29:10

social media and seeing what they were responding

29:12

to and I think it was honestly,

29:16

like a really Fantastic way

29:18

of starting a company rather than going into it.

29:20

Like I just want to

29:22

make a bunch of money It wasn't that it was like

29:24

I'm connected with these people who can relate to me and

29:26

I relate to them and we are Both

29:29

wanting a product that I want

29:31

to make so I don't regret

29:33

it I just think

29:36

as I evolve and mature

29:38

my relationship is changing in terms of

29:40

like having boundaries

29:42

and Prioritizing

29:44

my mental health a bit more. I think

29:47

there's seasons for everything. I think for many

29:49

years I was in a season of like

29:52

hustle and grind and building my dream life

29:54

And I think that was needed then and

29:56

I'm not as much in that moment now

29:59

so while social media is such,

30:02

such a powerful tool and I've made amazing

30:04

connections through it. Like

30:06

deleting it on the weekend has been the most fantastic

30:08

thing for me because I feel like I just

30:11

have the self-awareness that I fall

30:13

into comparison or negative

30:16

thinking oftentimes when I'm on

30:18

social media. So it's

30:21

more of a personal relationship than a business one.

30:23

In terms of kids, I

30:27

take a lot of advice or I

30:29

look at the way my

30:31

friends who are parents parent. And

30:34

I'm just thinking of my friend

30:36

Camille here in Austin and her kids

30:38

are not on social media and they're

30:40

like pre-teens I think. And

30:43

I think if

30:45

you can keep them off for as long

30:47

as possible that's helpful when their brains are

30:49

developing and they're you know really sensitive to

30:51

comparison and things like that. Like I cannot

30:53

imagine as a young girl if I had

30:55

been on social media that would have been

30:58

really, really hard. So I feel like

31:00

as long as I can keep them off I will. But

31:02

at the same time teaching

31:05

them about the power of it

31:07

and I feel like something

31:09

that's helped me with social media is like really

31:11

treating it as a business rather than my whole

31:13

life and as a job.

31:15

And I think it

31:18

would be a disservice to not teach

31:20

them about it and keep them completely

31:22

hidden from it because the reality is

31:24

that's our world and that's how things

31:27

work now. So I'd rather come

31:30

from it from like an educational

31:32

standpoint but we shall see. You

31:34

know I am just

31:37

sort of like observing right now and seeing like

31:39

what feels good to me. Hey guys

31:44

it's Sam. I have a question

31:47

about making new friends that align

31:49

with your new goals. So over

31:52

the past few years I've had some

31:54

health issues and now I'm trying to

31:56

avoid drinking when going out and really

31:58

just be more mindful when I'm going

32:01

out with friends. And I'm

32:03

curious how you guys recommend making

32:06

new friends that align with your new goals. A

32:08

lot of my old friends unfortunately still want to

32:10

go out and drink and party till late

32:12

at night and that's not really what

32:14

I want to do anymore. So just

32:16

wondering how you would make

32:19

friends when you're looking for kind of a

32:21

new life and a new better life. Thank

32:23

you. Hi Sam,

32:26

great great question. I think a lot of

32:28

people will relate to this. Just

32:30

looking back at my life in 2017 I

32:32

definitely went through a period of time where

32:36

you know I had to let go of a

32:38

lot of friendships and also embrace

32:40

being alone. I think that's a kind

32:42

of important piece here. It's like friendship

32:45

takes time especially as adults

32:47

and embracing like being

32:50

comfortable with your relationship with yourself and just

32:52

knowing that it's for the greater good. I'm

32:54

not saying to completely cut your friends out

32:57

necessarily but like I got

32:59

way more comfortable being independent and alone because I

33:01

was like you know currently

33:03

not many of my friends want

33:05

to do the things I'm doing so I need

33:07

to embrace doing them by myself and learning to

33:10

clap for myself and celebrate the moments that I

33:12

feel proud of. I also think

33:17

just being honest and saying hey like this

33:19

is where I'm at for my

33:21

mental health and my well-being like I can't go out

33:23

and drink anymore but if you would want to go

33:25

on a walk with me I would love that or

33:27

if you would want to go get coffee with me I

33:29

would love that or if you want to come over

33:31

and we can cook together I would love that. I

33:34

wish I had been maybe a little more vocal

33:36

about that and express myself in that way and

33:39

I think also that time you

33:42

spend alone curating exactly

33:44

what your life what you want your

33:46

life to look like you have a

33:48

better understanding of what you want so

33:50

when you do make those friends whether

33:52

it's like at the gym or at

33:54

a coffee shop in the places where

33:57

you find those like-minded individuals you

33:59

already know What you enjoy and what you're

34:01

looking. For in terms of value, see, you

34:03

can show up as a version of you. I

34:06

also think this far more like events happening

34:08

now like we were just that. an event

34:11

here in Austin for our friends that was

34:13

like a sickness event. Tons of like minded

34:15

girls on kind of putting yourself out there

34:17

and showing up on community walks or us

34:20

in a d humming someone says in your

34:22

area that into health and fitness I I

34:24

do think a lot of people who are

34:26

in health and fitness one to connect on

34:29

that level. Like every time I meet a

34:31

girl who's down to go to a workout

34:33

with me I get so excited. So. Put.

34:36

Yourself out there. Stay. True to

34:38

you and don't be afraid. To

34:40

express your values. I

34:43

think with that, we're going to end

34:45

this episode here. I really hope you

34:47
