0:39

0:41

0:46

0:52

1:12
what happened to you
1:13
or
1:14
person of any pronoun that you use it
1:16
that's how you're thinking up but before
1:18
we dig into the conversation
1:21
i'm having my friend and position
1:24
coach katrina i wanna
1:26
make sure that if you are listening to this
1:29
you are a coach make
1:31
sure that you are thinking about how
1:33
this topic says
1:35
up in your coaching the
1:38
making sure that you feel like you
1:40
know how to coach people
1:43
who may not really
1:46
be the right candidates for some
1:48
of the traditional coaching tools that we are taught
1:51
it's super important to understand
1:53
your niche and your
1:56
clients and to understand
1:58
whether they for instance
2:00
need to be motivated to set goals
2:02
and learn how to go after them or if they
2:05
need to learn how to chill
2:06
out and slow down and actually keep
2:08
brief those are very different clients
2:11
is very different problems and a
2:13
lot of coaching tools are really focused
2:16
on people who
2:19
maybe need more help
2:22
reading your achieving goals take responsibility
2:24
for their lives and they are not really
2:26
a suitable for people who already
2:29
too much responsibility for
2:31
, lives and everyone else so
2:34
it's important and know who your clients are
2:36
who your niche is who you are coaching a
2:39
better view
2:39
and as your listings
2:41
this episode you're thinking oh
2:44
yeah i think my clients are in this category
2:46
are some of my clients and this category and i
2:49
think maybe add them like teaching them
2:51
tools and don't really
2:52
it happens what they need
2:54
one it makes you to make sure that you are
2:56

3:09
this this that we work on in death
3:11
in the advanced serfaty since i'm as coaching
3:13
is how hurting
3:15
to have a concept need to be adapted
3:18
for people who have different kind of
3:20
brain different kinds of experiences and
3:23
different needs it's not putting is
3:25
not one size fits all
3:27
make sure that when you first get coach sort of
3:29
but the truth is
3:32
the have all had different experiences and
3:34
we have different lives and brains
3:35
and we get different messages from society is so

4:15
hello
4:16
so much again i have
4:18
have podcast there for you this week
4:21
it it's just a lucky double week and
4:23
i'm really excited for summer say said not only because
4:25
my few people have an anti cancer my friends but
4:27
also because i think
4:29
that so many of those
4:32
of you who listens my podcast are
4:34
maybe perfectionist didn't know you
4:36
are perfectionists are maybe a little credit
4:39
or maybe like even as a reason that
4:41
the that on perfection fantasy is is like
4:43
the most downloaded one of all time and
4:46
, today i'm really starting with my
4:48
friend said she knew about doctor you bell
4:50
for those of you who don't know her who
4:52
is a weight loss such for physicians
4:55
but in the context of this podcast more importantly
4:57
somebody who also was herself and coaches
5:00
varied say high achieving
5:02
driven mostly women are all
5:04
women and we're going to be talking
5:06
about how you sometimes
5:08
need to adjust coaching tool that you might
5:11
learn and various places to account for
5:13
this particular kind of personality right no system
5:16
is the same not every person's the same that of be
5:18
towards the set to see the queue is it yourself
5:20
and maybe like as part of that can tell
5:22
us how you got into coaching and where you started
5:25
and high that's where you are now
5:26
yeah absolutely so for saw
5:28
for having me i'm excited reader will
5:31
get to that the us so
5:33
i mean i did the classics
5:35
passes the the high achievers
5:37
you know excellent students did all
5:40
the you know you extracurricular back in the
5:42
days when you're expected to be a well rounded
5:44
students you remember that to get into college
5:46
needed college be well rounded stabbing her
5:48
as soon to be college aged kids i've
5:50
found out that's not nothing anymore oh
5:52
what is the thing now to be like so now they want
5:54
you to go much deeper dive
5:56
i'm fairly chestnut about and
5:58
like idea
5:59
you that also then relates to whatever
6:02
it is you want to study
6:03
the like of the moon's ally and then those two
6:05
things when
6:06
it out that this whole idea that you needed to like
6:09
play for and the on the debate team and
6:11
be also doing like community service
6:13
and having a job and what
6:16
you're after things that apparently everything there
6:18
the for any mart subsided all those things
6:21
and got into you know my dream college
6:24
actually
6:25
wanted hard to be and
6:26
that's what i actually got an engineering
6:28
degree but it was halfway through that
6:31
realised like actually think i might want to be a a instead
6:33
i actually have not been know but
6:35
i like everybody went college thinking, they were pre-med i was
6:37
like no, i do that but
6:39
then it was like tourism experiences i had in
6:42
college that i like wait i think maybe do wanna do
6:44
that and so, you know talk like the high
6:46
fever so there were a couple of
6:48
semesters in college where
6:50
i twenty-four or twenty-five shapes
6:53
because i figured
6:55
out that to go to med school you it always
6:58
prerequisite that have not been
7:00
prerequisite for my
7:02
major so in order for me to
7:05
apply to college and not have to take like an extra
7:07
year is like you know why would a high achiever
7:09
subscription isn't as a happy that you know
7:11
that are years air now dot for that
7:14
so i had like zach on all these
7:16
away extra classes be able to get
7:18
the it's you know basics and nine
7:20
the basics and while some of it they find her but also
7:22
like i had to take like an english class make
7:24
you less had not been required for my major
7:27
but is certain month schools require that no
7:29
i just really set up this whole
7:31
system for myself or improve basically
7:33
like if you just try hard enough
7:36
you can achieve whatever it is that you won
7:38
and so you know my grades arguably
7:40
we're not really the super
7:43
afi
7:43
level to be able to get into med school like
7:45
what they would expect that i'd also majored
7:48
in a really really hard major and
7:50
so when the regular the made advisor
7:52
was like hey you supply taking her off
7:55
like to six some time off i was like horrified
7:57
and that super offended so i went
7:59
through the
7:59
pre med major a premade adviser
8:02
of my major and he was like not a know we can
8:04
get you an an yeah and i did get
8:06
an eye on animals of of labor zagging myself
8:09
once a med school
8:10
became a pediatrician
8:12
then i was doing that for
8:15
eight or nine years before i
8:18
first experienced coaching i had
8:20
heard like so many people had heard the term
8:22
life coach on oprah yeah i think it
8:24
was martha back i didn't even know my bike was the martha
8:27
backpack them but like there's a woman
8:29
named the back he was on oprah and
8:31
would talk about life coaching really
8:33
know what it was that what happened wasn't
8:35
had actually been doing plot is what woman and
8:38
then she moved away and when she moved
8:40
away she just mention that you thought she might become
8:42
a life coach the somehow i like five that in my
8:44
memory then fast forward and
8:47
all these like a year i was
8:49
just struggling with the family issue and
8:51
it was one of things where it was like in
8:54
other thing that have happened which by the
8:56
way i don't i literally don't remember what it was that
8:58
the thing that might seem to very big yellow
9:00
as in our job very
9:02
big deal the time and so i
9:05
was really unable to
9:07
let ago and i started thinking
9:09
like maybe i'm actually when you have the problem
9:11
here because like the other party is
9:13
not bothered by this is at all like their those
9:15
living there are a great life as i'm
9:18
over here completely suing
9:20
and i just for somebody felt like i was like
9:22
i don't think therapies the thing i'd done therapy
9:24
before and i didn't meaning again so
9:27
i just was like no think that's really what i need
9:29
but i know if i don't do anything to help
9:31
myself like
9:32
the say something that i'm gonna regret like something
9:34
needs a hobby
9:35
here and that's when i remember this friend with
9:37
the like cutting thing and i'm like some he was rich answer
9:39
as the she ever did that like maybe that would
9:41
be something for this and
9:44
she had literally just gotten certified
9:46
it was like one of those weird why methanol
9:48
and so she easier you
9:51
cause you just associate last eleven
9:53
in the uk then came back
9:55
just move back had like all these babies
9:57
and children and she's very busy
9:59
in two sessions with her learn
10:02
the very very basics and it
10:04
totally blew my mind completely
10:06
it was like what are you me and my thoughts
10:08
create my feelings treat my access we got doesn't
10:10
like a lot and it it was
10:12
and it was amazing i immediately was hot
10:15
as like i have to know more about this
10:17
and then it was really actually as
10:19
i was approaching my for his birthday
10:22
road sort of doing a bit of a life revaluation
10:25
looking at various different things in my
10:27
life
10:28
really looking at like my job satisfaction
10:31
i'd been working a future some for up ten years of
10:33
that point three kids by
10:35
that point and another common
10:37
in our theme for me was that i just kept gaining
10:40
or losing weight like just kept dating
10:42
and lose i mean like at least ten times
10:44
of like
10:45
forty at forty down for a
10:47
up forty down and really just
10:49
being like i like something just seems
10:51
illogical here that
10:54
like i keep repeating the same
10:56
thing and like i am just not solving
10:58
for this problem again being a high achiever i was just
11:00
kind of like it just doesn't seem logical
11:03
that like whatever weight watchers
11:05
has to offer is like the own the
11:07
thing there is er een on of course i tried all
11:09
sorts of crazy things that were not helpful
11:12
either and so
11:13
i was kind of like had my eye on the life
11:15
coaching thing and then realize the life that she can
11:17
help with wait to and i'm like oh interesting
11:20
like money
11:21
i'm i'm say i was completely
11:23
blocked in terms of any accessibility
11:25
of my emotions like i'm you know now i am a
11:27
high achiever i'm like in a both my
11:29
parents are german wiped from germany
11:32
i know what we don't do a motion to
11:34
not offend you know is is like
11:36
pull yourself up by your bootstraps and just
11:39
going so i really
11:41
really have so much to learn in
11:43
terms of just like actually becoming aware
11:45
the of what was happening for me and
11:47
realizing that i had just been using food
11:50
as the way to shove that downs
11:52
and i've been doing that for really long time and so
11:54
that's really about what sort of my entry point
11:56
really into coaching in that i was like wait
11:59
a minute
11:59
i never wanted to business to be hundred percent honest
12:02
i really just wanted to learn more i wanted
12:03
the able to my kids my kids the stuff i was like
12:06
i wish i knew this when i was younger and
12:08
then i was time like you know what other
12:11
women doctors out there who also feel mana
12:13
same about being doctors you struggle with her weight
12:15
when they're giving advice that they're not following not following
12:17
don't know lives like maybe there might
12:20
be some doctors other who wants some help with that the
12:22
toy change my life and then that was like the
12:24
start of this business
12:25
the third of me going in a lot i think i don't on
12:28
actually doctor anymore i think i wanna
12:30
hope these amazing women to
12:33
be an hour and thanks
12:35
great caregivers all of us that are really
12:37
struggling on the inside themselves
12:39
that so like whether some weight
12:41
or anything else and whether you're a doctor not
12:43
that such a common
12:45
way that social they sunsets women outright which
12:47
has to be like taking care of everybody else
12:49
and not take care of themselves right
12:51
like bad as you know why you
12:54
hear specimen i think it is changing
12:56
but we're all still alive with previous
12:58
they should i'm were raised by mothers
13:00
and grandmothers you really had the previous socialization
13:03
farmland and that utilizes the trauma
13:05
that they went through and stuff like now and i said i was
13:08
look at
13:08
my mother my mother went through
13:10
mother died when she was a and like no one ever
13:12
talks about anything she got never got you know
13:14
it's like
13:15
how do you and eight years old get through
13:17
that when no one's there to support you owe
13:19
you shove your emotions down she didn't use
13:21
mood by in out like we all
13:23
have coping mechanisms and to your point like
13:25
they're just pass on passed on pass on until
13:28
it kinda hits some sort of breaking point
13:30
you know for a someone who goes wait hold on a
13:32
second i want axel within the this further
13:34
i think that socialization around helping
13:37
way that the best seat and stay about
13:38
women are mothers are they were like self less that exactly
13:41
right of the in a funeral you've made
13:43
at
13:44
yeah right i just i mean does that
13:46
mean that goes around but i think on and that
13:48
i think is like there for reasons like some old tumblr
13:50
post or something that's that's something going
13:52
home and funeral and be or whether parker for
13:54
not and like everybody gets up and
13:56
house that like everything she did for them and
13:58
at the end their life i have no the with this woman was
14:00
like like i don't know what she likes
14:02
you do if she was funny if she was smart
14:05
if see quilt that lay out anything about
14:07
her all i know is that
14:09
the like
14:10
everything she had other people and that was and
14:12
like even if you're listening to this you're like wow that's what
14:14
i want it like that socialization
14:16
yuk i'm and funerals and year that was picked
14:18
that idea that
14:21
like
14:21
the giving tree basically right like that that's
14:23
what women are supposed to be like gasoline
14:26
finally sat down at the hands me
14:28
, message literally nothing left and then around
14:30
the nothing left they should stop reading that butcher little girl
14:32
that i now so when you
14:34
found footage of them serious wyatt and
14:36
then and nice and us i got my as leveling what your
14:38
experience was in terms of like
14:41
you know coming from the
14:43
the ground where you so he knew how to set the chief golf
14:45
the like right i'm like a
14:47
lot of catching told are sort of they'll
14:50
get on and china like ask questions such
14:52
a leading way but i'd be curious to hear have like what
14:54
your experience was like do the chemicals
14:56
until still like what's not relevant you are
14:58
what didn't what's not help for what did like salads
15:01
you experience that yeah well
15:03
i like to say canadian friend
15:05
us all that more is that like of the
15:07
you know an issue that i've really
15:09
works on it's fun even and just like
15:11
the last couple years the
15:14
this idea that like someone else
15:16
is the expert they know
15:18
better than i do how i
15:19
some of my life
15:21
for sure i felt this way with wake as if you
15:23
know the messaging also has like well you know
15:25
you're obviously the one who got you into this
15:27
the you can't possibly be trusted to
15:30
know what your body might need
15:31
why do your the enemy and so you
15:33
have to unless some expert outside of
15:35
you to tell you when you should eat and will actually eaten
15:38
all the size so i had a seven when it's like
15:40
nonsensical like the i don't want to manually
15:42
enter miserable looks like a grapefruit
15:44
and a tablespoon of vinegar a day and you're like wow
15:46
that's the x
15:47
it so i guess i'm a fan of split
15:49
your body of literally like screaming for
15:51
you're like now so and so sad i
15:53
can
15:54
you can i turn on the radio
15:56
why paid twenty nine ninety ninety
15:58
that the human body can't
15:59
great britain vinegar iran i guess that is
16:02
caught a mammoth be
16:03
so that was what
16:05
kind of were with coming from also when
16:07
you're going through you know the school
16:10
laying like i did like you did
16:12
like other hides you think people it's very much
16:14
like there's this prescribed way it's like
16:16
you need to do this you know in medicine there's
16:18
like you know the practice guidelines
16:20
you know best practices like too slick
16:22
that the right way it's a
16:25
know in quotes or you know arguably the
16:27
right way that's that's supported by evidence
16:29
and and research is to
16:31
treat patients this way or do things
16:33
where talk about things in this
16:35
game in the office setting said
16:37
it was really
16:39
there are to like
16:40
find an expert find
16:42
someone who is further ahead than me and
16:45
then just leave every single thing they say
16:48
he now and not in my save one for us i
16:50
mean there's lots of people can be like an author
16:52
to be like anybody and then
16:54
it just go like all and on what they're
16:56
saying because they clearly have the solution
16:58
i know nothing even though as
17:01
you said like believe
17:03
wait wait i have actually been very good buffalo
17:05
my life on my own it's so interesting
17:08
so i guess the found
17:10
that like so many things that was like many
17:12
tools that are super oh for me and
17:15
then many tools that i actually have had to
17:17
spend years sort of like scrubbing
17:19
for my brain fray lines they were lengthy
17:22
now yeah exactly and it's
17:24
so i like in hindsight now
17:26
where i was thinking about like so
17:29
what would i tell someone said the
17:31
thing that i realized that i struggled
17:33
with was it's like
17:35
you know when you're such a high achiever
17:37
and then you're exposed to like south health
17:40
has sought
17:41
the
17:42
that would with anything we're we're like i to see the the
17:44
to see the next thing and then i'll finally like
17:46
myself beads you know satisfied
17:49
think i'm valuable gets a thing
17:51
positive thoughts about myself whatever it's like oh
17:54
here's this person talking about this one way
17:56
to do something like maybe like how
17:58
i do you know how to run your
17:59
i wonder how to keep yourself on track with
18:02
your calendar and achieve goals so
18:04
i better do what they're saying even though
18:06
i actually don't have actually problem
18:07
that that and the system is i've been using
18:09
myself what does it ain't broke
18:11
so i'm gonna fix it
18:12
that where there is no problem
18:15
for me is so it's like i think that
18:17
the best thing for
18:19
people like us issue about
18:21
thinking as are being so so this and
18:23
like being exposed to when i teach in what you teach
18:25
them what other people teach and all the exposure
18:28
is like what is the problem
18:30
that this tool soft forks
18:33
and do i actually have that problem or
18:35
don't even want to eat maybe you do have
18:37
a problem that do even want to solve that
18:40
problem right now is that
18:42
even you know the the thing that you want to focus
18:44
on right now than allowing yourself
18:46
to still be the expert right were
18:49
there for ten our bodies were the efforts in
18:51
our minds like we can empower
18:53
ourselves to go wolf's this is an interesting
18:55
idea media want to play with that navy
18:57
i don't but i don't have a look at it like this
18:59
is the and i'll be all things if i don't
19:02
do this thing or do it is certain right way
19:05
then i'm wrong something's wrong
19:07
with me and it's like we start creating more problems
19:09
for a southern more opportunities for self loathing
19:12
which of course never helps anything at all
19:14
yeah i mean to me this is like
19:16
being aware of the sort of socialization
19:18
and your relationship with yourself is so important
19:20
because the to the anybody also
19:22
to look at my life and been like you know
19:24
promise even things but i still
19:26
thought i mean you know going on in our mass my
19:28
server i would like they just
19:31
can't tell actually and they they don't know that
19:33
i'm lazy i did they don't know that i'm laid
19:35
the i'm just able to like bang it out of the last minute
19:38
they did don't know right so it's like i
19:40
didn't even have the self awareness even if you had
19:42
told me that i would have been like know i do have a problem
19:44
with that rates to die for me i think
19:46
so much of it as like my philosophy
19:49
is i would much rather you
19:51
do nothing and be nice yourself about it
19:53
then do a bunch of said amphibians
19:55
yourself about it right it's like that relationship
19:57
with yourself is actually the core thing that we're trying
19:59
the work on yes because we're
20:02
not even
20:03
i think would gender social this with high
20:05
achiever socialization perfectionism were like
20:07
not events reliable witnesses
20:09
about whether we actually have like
20:11
we like they were doing everything badly
20:13
and can always be doing everything
20:15
better to only n n that
20:17
that kind of like lack of ever being
20:19
satisfied never ever thinking
20:22
that good enough is good enough or what
20:24
we have is good enough is
20:27
part of the problem my that's where have gotten
20:29
us into this situation where we
20:31
feel dissatisfied where i feel like we're under
20:34
performing are coming up short in some
20:36
way even though all evidence
20:38
on the outside the nose to the contrary
20:41
and it's just it's this another way
20:43
that we can
20:44
the repeat ourselves up like i have i that many many
20:46
clients were like well you know the way
20:49
i got to be this high
20:51
as you're a doctor is by beating myself
20:53
up though i'm really reluctant
20:55
to give and while i was remind them is
20:58
in the people at work of me i'm like oh okay
21:01
you if i did that speaking really harshly
21:03
negatively yourself treated the results
21:06
have you performing better but what
21:08
you're forgetting is that the only way
21:10
that you could even tolerate being with yourself
21:13
with by using foods and i'm out
21:15
in or possibly alcohol to just try
21:17
to like
21:18
a boy that that negativity
21:21
you know so it's like
21:22
saying that that helps to but then you
21:24
needed it but this other crush because it was
21:26
so uncomfortable the so awful like
21:29
why are we fighting for this way of achieving
21:31
things like you today as like you know in the
21:33
mix
21:34
yeah my answer to that is always like
21:36
what if you the
21:38
actually achieved everything you've achieved in spite
21:41
of yourself talk right exactly
21:43
as of a guy like even by
21:45
correlation of that position a backlash
21:47
is that would have achieved even more without it
21:50
i think that also such a good point because basically
21:52
what we're saying that instance as if
21:54
so counterfeit raised
21:55
i have to achieve things to feel okay about myself
21:58
but when i drive myself to achieve things
21:59
i'm doing it by selling city by myself
22:02
slipping on felix rifle like what
22:04
is the point you're trying to achieve birds are better
22:06
by yourself
22:07
but the method you're using makes me feel
22:09
that yourself so you're never stop
22:11
never going to produce feeling good about yourself like you can
22:13
run that equation ten thousand times
22:15
yes i don't know about you or me i feel
22:17
i'm still working on this you know
22:19
in various
22:20
the is like i feel like this year has been a big
22:22
one for me and this
22:25
really more deeply
22:27
what we're observing n the
22:29
concept that like
22:31
i don't like the day today
22:34
the my life of my works
22:37
then that's on know
22:38
the but me i'm like
22:40
no one's gonna come and rescue me there
22:42
is no accomplishment that will feel
22:45
so good that it will
22:47
make up for
22:49
feeling bad along the way
22:51
like a really really
22:53
the down to me saying
22:55
in a while i'll i'll have my license when it could
22:57
just be like hey you know my attitude sucks and
22:59
i need it seems that money to remind myself
23:01
how on approach the same things and i'm doing or
23:04
could be that i'm not doing them in our
23:06
either the same way or in the same volume
23:08
or definitely have
23:10
this site's it's kind of like you know if
23:13
i'm feeling off kilter like the first
23:15
thing as like as she does work
23:17
i always overworking is like
23:20
the the subconscious solution
23:22
since and so i think that when we identify
23:25
that of ourselves like we just have to be aware like
23:27
okay that's me doing that
23:29
again like now i'm working on the weekends and i'm staying
23:31
up late working okay i gotta dial that back again
23:34
i can't get my words and during that time then
23:36
i got a really look at you know what i'm taking on
23:38
and why am i say enough sleep really the site
23:41
i think it was for so much of my life it was
23:43
like to get through this punishment because they
23:45
will be better on the other end in a that so much
23:47
like med school and our medical tree and
23:49
all that right in like even my
23:51
for be my baby like you know me get through i mean for me
23:53
being pregnant with awful right like a just get through
23:56
this like nine months of a horrible mess
23:58
so that you can have them
23:59
ordered the baby on the
23:59
around and any and the baby and they are like of could melt
24:02
last and or of on i like
24:04
this is really hard to like let me to get them till they
24:06
flew through the night okay hours ago elegantly
24:08
to stay up until they could talk enough
24:09
the only thing like satisfaction and happiness
24:12
with that the other and the other as an excuse
24:14
i'm working with vicky the wheezes the time coach
24:17
and i just looked so call our by want to propose
24:19
recently good even though i teach like you
24:21
can't hate feeding and expect to find
24:23
you can you know the others both severed
24:25
like you can't like work your way now
24:28
the fifty an hour work week later and advice to
24:30
you are absolutely
24:33
i chat is effective we're
24:36
a bit of a me wrong i like high school and i don't overwork
24:38
by it's definitely and my mind it was like yeah
24:41
city has be grouped i have to do it's going to take
24:43
more upfront to get to that played say
24:45
that such a high and still and were socialized
24:47
to think of that as
24:49
virtue right
24:50
it and it is such a balance like i see
24:52
with you know
24:53
coming into the black now that i am spending
24:56
more time with children and my partner has
24:58
kids that i'm like more in a sort of
25:01
involved to that
25:01
is it like balancing these
25:03
lessons that you the to teach of like
25:06
yeah delayed gratification is important in some
25:08
instances like it is important to learn how to
25:10
do things for future benefit
25:13
if you want to do anything other than like
25:15
fly around in the wasn't eat berries which also sounds
25:17
great but hard to do in a capitalistic
25:18
the me like you're going to hasn't
25:20
called to be that end of the same time not instilling
25:23
the sort of like suffer now be
25:25
happy
25:26
yeah right which i also think of as a scary like
25:28
christian concept of like life on earth
25:30
is hard and terrible but then like there's been afterwards
25:34
which like as even like jewish they
25:36
haven't so i need to enjoy this now like i'd have
25:39
a thing as you will explore
25:41
the explore hard but it's don't wallow like
25:44
you know there's know sense in complaining though
25:46
just you know pretend like there's nothing hard
25:48
about thus would you take you know essentially
25:51
car in all a gas lighting yourself you're like your
25:53
lived experiences this but no wonder that
25:56
you're not allowed to feel like it's that way
25:58
and so you know honey side you know that how
26:00
many coaches really sharing something
26:02
that there you know really thrilling
26:04
the know i i know it's just a thought like it's
26:07
this immediate little later date on
26:09
themselves of like i shouldn't really be struggling
26:11
with this site
26:12
where are you should be because you know what you're human being
26:15
and you're a [unk]
26:15
right all human suffering
26:17
as article
26:18
you know why that's like saying i
26:20
even the made me sick like i know it's a food
26:22
poisoning like yeah but just like it feel bad
26:25
was happening and right exactly it's not
26:27
like a problem i think you
26:29
eat successfully related i want to go back to which
26:31
i think is like the desire that
26:33
have for somebody to be the external
26:35
it's already maybe that's what gets
26:37
us into this i think like when you get a
26:39
cookbook are you like i have to cook everything
26:41
the recipe and that's fun the five to the back i have
26:44
right but it's most of us
26:46
some yeah i see like this for the new yorker
26:48
i possible targets of for about how was like
26:50
offering me when i just gave literally
26:53
this sounds hilarious now but like gave
26:55
myself permission to not read everything in
26:57
the new yorker
26:58
right i just had this belief that like to
27:00
be a well informed sophisticated person
27:03
i had read all the articles even though every new
27:05
york
27:05
the twenty five page article about
27:08
like a terrible war somewhere which i
27:10
did
27:10
if you know i don't have your that the my feel like
27:13
i do that because one
27:14
i'm the foreign correspondents or the bc
27:16
seat later on my off time
27:18
like i , not in fact
27:20
i do not need to be an expert on the war in libya yes
27:22
i personally have a guy you've been generally informed
27:25
about the world you know but like as soon
27:28
as i your politics as politics turns out and i don't
27:30
wanna read this article but like a little
27:32
years a would read like read the whole
27:34
thing covered whole thing we didn't think i love skip
27:36
the parts i don't want to and by elissa
27:38
cookbooks i did not to pick and choose
27:40
but we come to coaching or any
27:42
kind of know i think their ways and
27:43
they coaching occupies the space
27:46
that used to be for
27:47
the people would otherwise the occupied
27:49
by lake
27:51
that generous spiritual community
27:53
or whatever or a couple
27:54
the like that not because housing of the call is just
27:56
because people just the therapy or meditation
27:58
or yoga anything like
27:59
it it want a system to
28:02
organize their mind and live by right they
28:04
want like the b e o e the explanation
28:06
of everything like we want
28:08
to eat to eat that will explain everything
28:11
for us and that will be are like primary system
28:13
to live by
28:14
the grammys i thought you were like this isn't a cup
28:17
of i can pick and choose right i have to like
28:19
except the entire thing and then that's you
28:21
know the equipment been like and me them like keepers the
28:23
or salmon but i've seen a can eat
28:25
and also there is no famine here and also
28:28
disappeared for of vitamin d deficiency
28:30
in i don't have one but i just like have to do it anyway
28:33
yeah same thing i mean i'm sure you see this
28:35
i for sure seen as like the people who
28:37
view there's like a religion and essentially
28:40
right like the healthy eating how i know
28:42
that guy that i have a logical
28:44
thing also to
28:45
i mean i did a fighter dive into began as
28:47
i'm and you would think that that's like odis
28:49
don't eat animals like know it's actually like
28:51
very i bought and different factions
28:53
within it and they all think that if you don't do it
28:55
their way than you're doing it wrong and also
28:58
if you don't have every health
29:00
issue the average variants in l
29:02
us
29:02
the and mental issue solve
29:04
it out
29:05
clear up immediately and eating that way
29:07
then you're doing it wrong it can't possibly
29:09
the that may be that way of eating as
29:11
rating for you to know you're a doctor and you know
29:13
that been not your schizophrenia the on a separate
29:15
i see it enough confine
29:17
lagoon security it's a
29:19
complete protein of my mother lives also
29:21
use of that's what does that mean she goes
29:24
i don't even know exists except
29:26
the or something guide
29:30
the think one of the things that were kind of drawing out here
29:32
is like honestly whether you're a high achieving present
29:34
not a particularly if you know that like
29:37
you are the kind of like i sometimes think people who are and less
29:39
high achieving actually are better at this because they are
29:41
oh people who are a little more like
29:44
dalia or have wanted to make the runway
29:46
are like didn't greatest fold into the system
29:48
where some of us were like oh there's the system
29:50
and i'll get in a happy and i'm all ears
29:53
and rate and we just like that's
29:55
how we moved through life i am working on my book right
29:57
now and like have been writing about like this
29:59
exactly
29:59
right i'm coaching and it was like i forgot
30:02
the feminism part my brain for a minute or i would like
30:04
okay this is the new world order like this
30:06
is the new regime this is how the world works
30:09
and that i that's a bit something's missing
30:11
or something has been twenty five years studying
30:13
and about , that may
30:15
be relevant to this like says
30:18
that's what i think both of us are teaching us
30:20
are ways li it is scary especially
30:22
for people so sizes women to get
30:24
in touch with their own discernment and authority because
30:26
like the stereotypes about women
30:28
for thousands of years of we are like irrational
30:31
overly emotional not suitable for leadership
30:33
it can't be trusted to make decisions can't
30:36
rely on ourselves need someone
30:37
harper to do i years as are wandering
30:39
are underbody making us crazy when there's a
30:41
full moon we lose
30:42
my and flake we are
30:44
just to edo socialize for so
30:47
long to not believe that we can
30:49
be the authority and we can be that
30:51
would ourselves or anything else except like the health
30:53
of excel really which apparently respect to magically
30:55
naturally know exactly the i am
30:57
sorry that like the me feel like the
30:59
biggest side here is like i mean i have an
31:01
episode of sheet of and cineplex no gods know
31:03
gurus like i don't know everything don't
31:05
do everything i teach if you
31:08
are you
31:08
do is like does this make sense for me
31:10
like how can i possibly know when someone elses was
31:13
eat i don't know when you're hungry
31:15
yeah right like
31:18
it honestly if you think about it is really
31:20
you know kind of egotistical like to be thinking
31:23
to be telling someone like you need to fit all your food into this
31:25
box
31:26
mary all the food your backwards and
31:28
extremism above all
31:30
accounts have called the as faster about
31:33
the about saturday
31:34
read or be a factor diet oh my god
31:36
it was discussed high fiber diet but i
31:38
think that the person ended up like having prime
31:40
them but they're like tiny stories
31:43
are people who have the you just eating the same as a favor
31:45
which for some people may work for them and
31:47
from some people did not work for that right and
31:49
is actually not a good idea but the people
31:51
just kept going rate as like
31:53
nothing of your stupid if because we're so
31:56
socialize be divorced from our own body
31:58
than that might be food and eating
32:00
or it might have your emotions happen in your body to
32:03
so were all of this like thing
32:04
for some your body whether or not you're thinking
32:07
about your waiter eating just being divorced and like
32:09
it might hire do i needed to take a walk
32:11
instead of get on the phone call do i feel over
32:13
stimulated do i feel under simulated do i
32:16
like am i sat at my tired like
32:18
to all of that is in your body these people
32:20
just like they were like having really
32:22
intense physical discomfort and team and
32:24
like a lever and then i kept going
32:26
to that was like this maybe have the
32:28
authority and she told me either the fiber
32:31
the and you know they the and years it was what you're saying
32:33
about guys and girls that
32:34
right right total know this religion
32:36
makes me feel terrible and i hate myself
32:38
the worst person the world but i'm so sick or that
32:41
specific ritual and of course for my
32:43
purse i got i think also even though you do cartwheels
32:45
me or suicide
32:46
your weight about the most important thing in the world rates are
32:48
like i don't give a crap what's
32:51
your way that i'm sorry but i
32:53
really don't i hear it all up hating
32:55
yourself and that yourself stop obsessing about food
32:57
almonds i've read
32:58
that awake when you combine that like revocation
33:00
of our own authority and the sort of like this
33:03
is what matters is like how you walker that amount
33:05
of skill or whatever of course you get people
33:07
who are completely divorced from their
33:10
own experience and are willing to like undergo
33:13
lot of emotional incest or suffering because somebody
33:15
else told them that that
33:17
okay are no big deal or not really happening
33:19
or worth it
33:20
am i going to say that like i've had to
33:22
work on this even in my business to for years
33:24
of like know i am the effort in my does
33:26
no it's
33:28
gonna come in and know better than me
33:30
how to run the thing
33:31
you know am i a bunch of really deeply
33:33
believing that that was like a huge part of
33:35
this to have x yeah i don't need someone
33:37
to com and rescue you know this business
33:39
or me or save me
33:41
or anything like that like like i actually
33:44
have the knowledge like shoot so it was they like
33:46
would you be for like either times when like out on
33:48
a walk and i'm like oh man i'm single are
33:50
saying and i should go car and sushi
33:53
coach man this and then i'm like walk and like well what is in
33:55
her would say and then i'm like i hear your
33:57
voice and i had near like the of of other by and unlike
33:59
while but bought a little while back
34:01
basically euro my lab me
34:03
and my time i go home and my only the code
34:05
mara i'm florida a bit about specially
34:08
the during you am i had the like nobody's some interest
34:10
to you that has been like the theme of my last
34:12
six months totally that's
34:14
what it is a we have to see like there's always
34:17
a assists the
34:19
appeal of not like you know i think since
34:22
i've to get to grad school it's but like i said
34:24
like many more to come on the coaching world that would
34:26
like every like this two sides
34:28
every par dynamic the when we make ourselves
34:30
not the authority ya the facet can
34:32
happen it also protects
34:34
us from like taking risks and putting ourselves
34:36
the line because
34:38
the word is only like oh no i no no not me i'm
34:40
gonna like it was somebody else as developers
34:42
have it doesn't work out i can like also blamed that other
34:44
percent ray it's my as opposed by saying
34:47
that responsibility like yeah i feel
34:49
city when i think any be rescued but it also
34:51
gives me the hope that like a magical solution will com
34:54
my the key sides of that same beliefs
34:56
yeah vs if i am like know i got
34:58
a rescue myself like that's both scary
35:00
and empowering right exactly
35:02
it's i feel like it's just like this ever have
35:04
the majority in our whoever said that like you
35:07
know you become whatever even you know if you're preventing
35:09
cortex fully developed in effect upon same
35:11
developed by age twenty five am i know
35:13
and this is you know establishes while but like
35:15
not that often talk about like we can see the
35:17
to mature as we age and i do worry
35:20
it's like the you know even this
35:22
as a human but also like as a business
35:24
owner as a coach as in
35:26
l a partner as a friend
35:29
useful like all those things like you mature you learn
35:31
like i think ideally like
35:33
we take ownership and riff on the responsibility
35:35
for our own successes and
35:37
our mistakes and failures and we learn
35:39
from mistakes and failures and from the successes
35:42
and we keep iterating i figure it out
35:44
i just keep thinking like at the end of this
35:46
whenever the shot that tons like am
35:48
i going to be you know more satisfied
35:51
with the fact that i really rely on myself even though
35:53
it was harder and lot more uncomfortable at times
35:55
than going well you know someone else gave
35:57
me orders and direction and i was just like this
36:00
soldier who carried it out and and
36:02
in at work out sometimes and i didn't
36:03
like i don't think that will feel a satisfying
36:06
no totally and there's nothing wrong
36:08
with him and i both of us are people who
36:10
have been experts are experts and consult
36:12
experts like we were just talking about iraq i'm very
36:14
happy getting a happy life
36:15
figure out the lighting in here right so it's and
36:17
i don't want this any this be taken as like
36:20
yeah
36:20
yeah i will never find humorous
36:22
all and it's eleanor's what the hell
36:24
does i always look at it like
36:26
pretty miserable
36:27
then if i think of it is like reading like a separate
36:29
the generic defense physically between
36:31
me and the idea or the barker the
36:33
person or whatever and i think
36:36
of it as like that spaces like the filters
36:38
rather that before it was like i was glued
36:40
to that person like whatever they said raina my her
36:42
the off i gotta go do it now my years
36:45
a bit of a filter where i can give myself
36:47
a moment to just
36:49
it back for a second and go okay they said
36:51
that what do i think
36:53
about that
36:54
that makes it like let me that take a minute
36:57
to see what my own opinion is
36:59
like filter it through my own brain first
37:02
and then decide how and
37:04
if i wanna take action and if you're
37:06
not doing that also believe that you've more
37:08
of a chance of actually doing what some of
37:10
the same big the court part of what happened is
37:12
like we encountered coaching tools that
37:14
may not even i've been fought in the way that we heard them
37:16
but because you are
37:18
in my eye here's the building must be wrong with me
37:21
so
37:21
what are you toby hey
37:25
nothing wrong with you and here's how to do as
37:27
and we just like
37:28
not your the nothing's wrong with you bird ever like
37:30
great that i did you actually violates
37:32
you might do that too like level part
37:34
s is me being like i don't give that about your calendar
37:37
i wanted to make yourself and the people are writing
37:39
ending like i just can't do my calendar the
37:41
way car so they have to do it right i'm like this
37:43
is not right the only hear what
37:45
you're open to and i think i mean i love
37:47
that like taking a step back and and the thing
37:49
i would add [unk]
37:50
they're like i also think
37:52
what i'm like i totally welcome for experts
37:54
but then if i try it and
37:56
it isn't working for me like at
37:58
that point and my life that was a good
38:01
experiment and this is not the right thing for me
38:03
i'm not getting the result i y
38:05
right or do i continue
38:06
to be like note my result and me must
38:08
somehow be wrong yeah right i saw you
38:10
the like oh that's an interesting idea
38:13
in read as that's the way to do it
38:15
well let me try that like you are a source
38:17
of one and you have to decide how much riskier
38:19
to mistake like i'm like
38:21
for pentagon does work not an experiment
38:23
to see if maybe it doesn't like that's
38:25
not worth the risk i'm for downgrade fact
38:27
that authority for sure if there's other
38:30
places maybe like i'm a try and see what happens
38:32
on his other places or i'm an addict i feel comfortable
38:34
just i've been trying that like where
38:36
are we all to make right make those decisions that
38:39
i think what we're talking about isn't like you're
38:41
the expert of any equals one and so nobody
38:43
else has expertise matters it's like how do
38:45
you use your own discernment your own experiments
38:48
in perfectionist we all hate that because
38:50
like but then had know if i got it right
38:53
right , was you know ahead of
38:55
time but the whole work is
38:58
like not having to know that you
39:00
got it right right rak exactly as
39:02
if eight years
39:03
growing up in a system that told
39:05
you like a here's how you get the a and
39:07
the be like okay cool i'm in a duel the things
39:10
and then you get the a really messes
39:12
you are
39:13
when you confront
39:14
the thing the my for it's not so clear
39:16
any not really hit home for me when i was
39:18
starting with some fertility issues after
39:20
i had my for can still like we don't
39:22
know why you can get pregnant anymore and
39:24
like trying harder
39:27
that work to split program
39:29
i'm having a all the thing i
39:31
can i
39:32
don't know what to tell you i got
39:34
bad that does not work
39:36
and i remember feeling so like
39:38
no with this is not how my life
39:41
is like i'd as know like it or something
39:43
i can rely on it's my ability
39:46
to work hard and to persevere and so like
39:48
at the thing that i once once you get i guess argue
39:50
and say that i did do that in images
39:53
of or
39:53
no doubt what i wanted there
39:56
was no guarantee of that of that
39:58
mike you know that whole like we don't know why
39:59
that happened or you know like there's
40:02
no clear pathway laid out
40:04
i was like what are you talking about like that is
40:06
not how my life is
40:09
in l and i think that's that i even see
40:11
it you know my my oldest son is a junior in high school
40:13
and in a his that like looking at the rubric
40:15
in the whole whatever and i'm like
40:17
when trying to like filter into hamlet
40:20
it's important i saw that important and you know
40:22
if it's my dear doing this just to get
40:24
the grade but that's not how life is always gonna
40:26
be like just i feel like the
40:28
airport yeah dot of logic way
40:30
we know that but like wouldn't have been nicer
40:33
like more deeply understand that it
40:35
out what even like even a gps
40:37
on the overworking like those overworking
40:39
like i over work in the sense that i'm going
40:42
about the rest of my life but i'm thinking about
40:44
what our you know my thoughts are consumed about
40:46
work i'm like always in that
40:48
place even if i'm not physically in my office
40:50
or physically working in elect someone could just
40:52
be like you need to figure out a way
40:55
to little really saw that
40:58
you can take a break from that like that wouldn't
41:00
and i think that would really help us i mean
41:02
let me to say i i think i have had
41:04
many kind say like i'm just so mad that i didn't learn
41:07
the stuff until now and i'm like never think about
41:10
it came of the perfect time perfect time wouldn't even
41:12
have been opened the when i would have probably thought it was a newsflash
41:15
people had mentioned the sit as before but we were
41:17
ready to take , think
41:19
i've think did learn and i went to
41:21
be a psychology major in college what are the odds
41:23
i had never know when i had never seen
41:26
something upset about cause feelings like
41:28
i'm sure that that information presented to me and
41:30
i'm me variety of ways but i would not round
41:33
here and until here and ready to hear one
41:35
hundred percent yeah i told her get her head totally
41:37
agree i reserved it is as whereas it's
41:39
like we just want we want relief from our pain
41:42
and we wish we could have had it sooner and i'm like
41:44
the paint on to where we are now an hour really
41:46
motivated to get out
41:48
the think also there's going to be set of
41:50
i mean to me i my
41:51
the about a lot and i'm michael to legislate i
41:53
got news for you there's more pain coming right
41:55
exactly like this idea that if you had
41:57
known as before you went have had a humanist
41:59
the influence in uruguay i know
42:02
gonna happen that's gonna happen going for
42:04
it even though you do know that they're playing i saw
42:06
an off ramp way so tell people where they
42:08
can send more about you
42:10
while you know i guess i just wrote a book
42:13
that is
42:13
coming out which you know a lot about that
42:15
sort of the remote some of them will seriously
42:18
so the book is called how to lose weight for last
42:20
time
42:21
frame be foolish and supreme weight loss i
42:23
just want to mention that i feel like
42:25
the title has multiple meanings like the secondary
42:27
meaning to me is like another way
42:29
to lose weight loss time is to stop trying to lose
42:31
weight
42:32
there are like just give up
42:34
that like just saw without
42:36
it but maybe we can create
42:38
a little healthier relationship with food and are size
42:40
and mans in l and whatever happens if
42:42
your body happens everybody because of that really that important
42:45
anyway as what's most important
42:47
is that you don't sell consumed like i
42:49
used to be with constant thoughts about food
42:51
and your weight and hating yourself done all that
42:53
stuff so that books available everywhere as well audio
