Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of the Aligned and Elevator podcast.
I'm your host, doctor Allison Felt, owner of Body Motion
Physical Therapy, owner of af Wellness Community, and your host
of the podcast. Like I already said, so today's a
special episode. So we are bringing on my Ride or Die.
(00:21):
This person is beyond special to me. Devin was my
first hire that I ever made in the Body Motion
air Evolution. Really you were you know, I think in
twenty So body Motion started July twenty twenty, twenty seventeen.
So after July twenty seventeen, I went and started this
(00:43):
Body Motion and it was a mobile business. Then we
went on and started to hire employees. Aka, I went
on and started to hire employees, and I started interviewing
in December twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
No, December twenty eighteen, I hired you.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
This is December twenty eighteen, and you started January first,
twenty nineteen. So very first employee. She was hired as
like the clinical.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Or was the client time frontscus, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Part time front desk, and she did marketing, she did sale.
She ended up doing it all and now she's the
general manager of both locations and oversees the marketing department.
So she is extremely special to me and she has
been with me from the very beginning and today she's
on the podcast gracing us with her presence and allowing
us to dive into questions about me and the business
(01:38):
and everything. So she wanted to interview me. She thought
that would be a fun episode. Doctor Katrina also wants
to interview interview me. And so here you have it
our episode where I take the non host role, Devin
takes over and while you're gonna go from there, Yeah, welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
To another episode Minded Elevated. I'm your host today, Devin.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And to start us off, I would love to kind
of hear if you weren't a PTE, what would you
want to be doing?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh that's so good.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Okay, two things I've always wanted to be of Arista,
So I would love to like make coffees and really
in in this era, I could see myself owning different
coffee shops. But I think as my side gig, like
if you were like, what would you go pursue or
maybe what do you get in pursue next? In like
(02:29):
your dream fantasy world? Okay, let me tell you about it.
So my dream fantasy world is that I go buy
plots of land and get investors to build hockey rink resorts.
And what this looks like is like big hotels with
multiple hockey rinks inside of it, where the hockey is
for the community and people can skate there, learn to play.
(02:50):
Obviously you'll always have figure skaters too, but it's a
community ice centers that are located all over and then
we build massive resorts. So I grew up playing hockey,
and I I always dreamed with my mom actually of
having these hockey rink hotels where the hockey rink would
just be located in the bottom of the hotel. And
as I've gotten older and gotten like a tad bit bougier,
(03:11):
these would be like spa like resort hotels where kids
could go and like have areas where they play like
floor hockey when their teams come to play and have
tournaments at the rink.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And then we would have a youth hockey.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Association and then of course an adult hockey association.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And so hockey rink resort hotels are like, I.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Think that's maybe my next adventure, slash my dream, my
dream life.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, I would have never guessed that, and I would
have never guessed the barista. In my head, I was like,
she wants to be a pro hockey player. Obviously, so
because you don't currently have the legacy of these luxury.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Hockey hotels, what do you want your legacy to be?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Like, I know so much of it is like women's
health related, but like when you lay your head at night, you're.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Like, I don't want to be known for this.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That's so interesting. I guess I never really think that way.
I don't think about I guess I'm not pursuing anything
for my own personal legacy, because once you're.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Fucking dead, what does it matter?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And at the end, I guess, But I think if
you ask me what my mission is, my purpose, it's
absolutely women's health, changing women's health care. But it was
always like, I want women to feel really good. I
don't want them to have pelvic issues. I want them
to not have to like go down the rabbit hole
of chasing low back pain. I don't want them gonna
(04:29):
have to go down the rabbit hole of chasing hip pain,
which is all related to the core, which then drives
them into cortisone injections and surgeries.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And obviously there's a time and a place for surgeries.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But you know, if you follow along at all, you
know that this is absolutely preventable.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
And so that is my life mission.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
When the pelvic floor is strong and healthy and the
core is strong and healthy, like we feel really good
in our skins, our skins multiple multiple, But that I
mean it unlocks something deeper, right, Like it unlocks When
I was still in the trading room, I remember I'd
come out to you and you were in the front,
(05:05):
and I'd be like, she just told me. You know,
she's in marketing, and she just told me that she
wants to pivot and go open her own business, and
she wants her business to be fitness related for postpart
of moms, or she wants her business to be a
DULA agency because she was so impacted by like this journey.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
And I think so many moms.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Get impacted by their journeys of going through pregnancy, going
through postpartum that they then want to pivot and make.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
That career switch.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And what I see is that a lot of moms
like it when they're in that phase, but then it
kind of fades out and wanes away and they don't
really stay with it as life gets busy and so.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I would love to see that shift.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I would love to see like the continued pursuit of
their passions and their creativity. And so I really think
like my mission now is like yes, every creative mission,
every creative pursuit, every contribution and service that I bring
to this world, that every woman brings us to this world,
(06:06):
it starts with their powertfloor physical theory, It starts with
their health.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It starts with their internal health.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It starts with the health of how they move their body,
which is how they feel in their skin, which leads
to confidence, which leads them down a path of finding
their own creativity, which allows them to generate their passions
and pursue their passions. And at certain points, I think
along that journey, we get distracted, whether that's ten years
(06:33):
with the kids or twenty years with the kids at home,
and we can lose ourself. And the minute that health
ticker goes out the window, the minute that you stop.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Caring about the health aspect of it, everything goes to shit.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That every sing yeah you just like you actually could
start shitting yourself, but no, but like really and we
help with that, right, That's why I say that, like,
if you if you have baling continence, like we will
help you with that, but that was a tangent when
your health is not your priority. And when we lose
our health, we lose every single thing that our health
(07:11):
brings us, which is how we show up for our family,
which is art, which is how we feel about ourselves,
which is how we show up to our jobs, which
is how we show up to life. And if we're
not showing up because we feel like shit, because our
health is bad, then we don't get.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
That creativity that spark.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's really hard to sit and feel like shit and
then be like, oh yeah, I'm gonna go jump on
creating this business to help go improve society.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It just doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So, I mean, I think one of the things you know,
you talk about, I don't even know what your original
question was, but you talk about like the mission of
the business, it is one hundred percent health. But it's
because health is wealth. Like health drives your income, health
drives your contributions to this world.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Health drives everything is the it is the.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Next day and healthic health especially like is the root
of all of our you know, of our total body health.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And so what we have a body.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Motion is we see a lot of patients monthly, right,
so we have clients that come in on this monthly basis,
and it is such an important important tune up, like
get you might get a massage once a month. If
you don't, you should, but you absolutely should get a
pelvic health tune up, and we tune up the whole body.
If your neck is sore, we're working on the neck,
but we're also making sure your pelvic floor is dynamic,
(08:27):
you have range of motion, that your core is super strong.
This is a fifty minute hands on session to make
sure all your muscles, all your joints are half the
range of motion, half the strength, have the stability so
you can go dominate life and then you're not going
to be chasing this achy hip which is eventually going
to lead you down, you know, to a hip replacement.
(08:48):
Not not anytime soon, but like right down the line.
And so the more that we keep the body tuned up,
the more that we just keep investing in our health
and keep our bodies healthy, it just unleashes everything that
women can tri reach of this world and that will
make the better the world a better place. And so
I think it's like not just you know I started
the mission of being like live for your health, live
(09:10):
to avoid diapers, live to avoid you know, being in
a wheelchair eventually, And the truth is it's like along
the way, if we're not caring for our health, we
just can't improve the world and we can't progress this
place to be a better place. And I think we're
all put on this planet for you know, this is
getting deep now, but I really do believe like we
(09:30):
all come to life with some kind of mission and
we have we have to unlock our own potential and
figure out what lights us up, where are true gifts
and how can we move this place to be a
better place? And we can only tap into that when
we feel good. So drawn out story, but I love
(09:50):
a rant that that's where we're at.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's that's yeah, I love that.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And what would you say is like the moment in
time that unlock your PARTI like that you were you
knew like, oh I have to level up or like
I'm meant for more.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
So, as a physical.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Therapist, I think there were there's been multiple signs, right,
and I think gut intuitions that I just followed when
I became a pel pelvic floor physical therapist. I didn't
want to be a public floor physical therapist. I didn't
really like touching people in general. So then to think
that I'm gonna go do touch people's bodies and all
this stuff, it was like, mm, that was like that
(10:30):
was not that pun to think about.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But we had this.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Woman come into our PT school and she eventually became
my mentor and was hugely inspirational for me. But she
comes into OURPT school, tells us about gives the one
lecture on pelvic floor physical pelvic floor health. Really so
it says like women can leak and oh, by the way,
if you were leaking as a female athlete as a kid,
like that's you know, this is really common stuff and here's.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Why this happens.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And I was like and that was me, So I
was like, fuck, I don't wanna know that, but like
that's kind of nice to know that there wasn't something
wrong with me.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
But usually it's just not something that like you talk
about often.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And so the minute she started saying that, I think
that was the first clue to be like, shit, I
actually have to pursue this, Like this is probably a
little bit of my calling. And I didn't want it
to because I wanted to be a sports physical therapist.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Through and through I was a hockey player. I wanted
to work with hockey players.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I wanted to have a hockey training facility, like that
was gonna be my jam.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
But then I, you know, I was like, that was
my first sign.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And then the second sign was like being at being
at a clinical when I when I was in PET
school and.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Realizing like, holy cow, like the way.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
That we're changing people's lives is truly instrumental. And I've
never seen this done in you know, physical therapy before,
even though I had worked at a pet clinic before this,
before I went to PET school. And so then I
think the real, the real, like final ticker for me.
I had already become a peltical or physical therapist, had
worked in nursing homes, worked in patient physical therapy, and
(12:02):
I started to put together these patterns that women were experiencing.
When I started to like, you know, when I was like, Okay,
how come everyone past sixty five in like or getting
home health services like in their seventies and eighties. How
Come they're all wearing divers? How come they can barely walk?
It's every fricking one of them. But then especially the women.
(12:23):
Why are all the women getting joint replacements and they've
already maybe had a bladder surgery and they're still in
a damn diver And it was like, what did we
miss along the way. And so when I started to
really thread these patterns together, which you can read all
about and restore your body after kids, The Secret to
avoid painting your pants and eighty joints as you age
that book, I mean, that's where I really break down
(12:46):
the patterns that happen for women, the soliloquies that happen
when you don't have your core. Yeah, I talk about
it and in a framework that's for after kids, but.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The reality is like kids or no kids.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
If your pelvic floor isn't working for you, which can
happen without kids, then you don't have your core.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So you're gonna fit the pattern.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You are gonna fit these patterns and these different soliloquies
that happen after kids. And so if you don't heal
your bodies and we can't you know, help progress people,
then of course they have to turn to surgeons. Of
course they have to turn to you know, pills and injections,
and then that just is a cover up, right, because
(13:28):
then you're not actually changing the body, You're just putting
a band aid on it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And that sucks. That really really sucks. There's a time
and the place.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
For everything, for every surgery, for every band aid, for
every injection. You know, I've definitely recommended it at certain
points to different patients, But if you are also treating
what has caused that in the first place, then you're
eternally fucked and it's just gonna go somewhere else and
ruin some other joint. And so I think that is
when I put all that together, That is when I
(13:56):
got my AHA moment of like, this is what I'm
meant to do. I put it all to postpartum, you know,
in that book, and it was the hardest effing thing
for me to release because it was putting myself on
the line. And I think one of my biggest things
I had to get over was the judgment I was
going to face from other people, especially other public florputees,
because these were just patterns I had seen clinically. So
(14:17):
were they even fucking valid? I don't know, I didn't know,
you know, I didn't have the confidence back then that
I do. Now I've seen it for the past fifteen
years now, so like, yes, very valid.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But it was like there was this little person on
my shoulder that's like.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
This is not an evidence based randomized control tryout, Like okay,
go fuck yourself, Like this is all very valid, right,
Like this is all It doesn't need to be research based.
This can be what we see in the clinic.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
This can be what I.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
See time and time and time again. And at a
certain point you get angry about it, Like I definitely
had my moments of anger, and then seeing my mom
go through what she's gone through, it's like it makes
you angry at a certain a point that like how
come we have no one stepped out, No one stepped
out of the box to be like this isn't right,
this isn't normal.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Every physical therapist has.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Just gone on and I'm like, oh, yeah, actually we
see that pattern too. But insurance we can only treat
your knee, and oh you want to prevent something, No,
we don't do that, you know, And so you're so
boxed up and can find it as a healthcare provider
with rules, regulations and all that stuff, and it just
there's a huge missing link, and I think once I was,
(15:27):
I like gained the confidence to speak the truth and
speak what we see. I just I can't stop.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, totally. I love it and I've gotten to see
it first.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
So I guess my next question would be, like, when
was the moment that you knew you were playing small,
like that you knew like, oh, this is gonna get big,
Like mmm, do you.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Think it's big now? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I mean I still feel like I'm playing small. Yeah,
I honestly do.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I feel like there's so much room to grow this.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I feel embarrassed that it's still small, like like that's
how I feel. I don't actually feel like this is
big in the fact that there's so many people that
still don't even know what we do.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Like maybe they've had peblic floor physical therapy.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
And it's consistent of the key bills, and it's consistent
of like you know, doing some core strengthening and it's
like okay, great, but like really, like is your core optimal?
Are you optimally functioning in this world? Like are you
not leaking? Are you your bad movements are fantastic? Are
you having really great sex? Are you having like any
(16:35):
pain in your knees, are your hips, in your neck
and your fact and most people do to some degree,
have some issues, and so it's like there is still
room to improve. And I think what people don't realize
is like every shoulder problem is a pelvic floor problem,
every need problem is a heelviy floor problem, and like
everything is so intraconnected that just dealing with one area doesn't.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Do the body justice.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And I I'll just tell you this weekend, I was
sitting with some moms and I still play small, and
I I kind of I'm still working on using my voice.
I know you're laughing, like I like you think I
play big, but I feel like I'm just still so small.
Like I'm like, why isn't this on the Today Show
every damn day until every single woman feels empowered to
(17:19):
go live.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Their best lives? Right, Like it's true Today Show, we
are ready for you. Yes, But.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Where was I going with the What what I wanna
say though, is like like I was even with a
bunch of soccer moms this weekend. Chloe had a soccer
tournament and they were And I've been with these moms
now for like a year and a half and and
I'm kind of shy outside of this out of my
out of our work environment, Like I'm very introverted outside
of work. I know you're like, you don't think that's real,
but it's very much real. Like I keep to myself.
(17:47):
I I really don't always put myself in social situations.
You're not gonna find me at the bar, like it's
just not where I'm gonna be. But so the mom
were asking like, oh, what do you do when we
were talking, and it was nice to communicate with them,
and I've wanted to talk to them, like wanted to
know what they do or what their husbands do or whatever.
(18:08):
And one of the moms and I told them, I
was like, you know, I have these businesses and and
I also do this podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
And one of the moms was like, oh, you have
a podcast, you know, And.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I was like it was so flattering, but I was like, fuck,
like how do I not have more word spread on this?
You know? And like and and that's how I feel
about health and like everything related to women's health at all.
It's like they're just people just don't know what they
don't know, and so there is still such an effort
to get this done, and I have to just say
(18:37):
one more story. Like I was working with a client
last week. It was a really complicated case. Just happened
to pass her in the hallway and she like kind
of you know, went through her like just like caught
me up on where she's been since I chatted with
her last and she was like, you know, I just
can't believe I could have prevented all of this if
(18:58):
I just knew that I needed to come here during pregnancy.
And that literally breaks my heart and that makes me
every freaking day.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Be like you're not playing big enough.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
There's so much room you believe that you can have
a bigger impact, which I absolutely love. Is there like
a belief that you had previously that you had to
let go of to get to this point.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yes, And it's it's actually a very scary belief to
even like acknowledge publicly.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But like I didn't want people to know who I was.
I didn't want.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I didn't want like you know, you're always worried like,
oh I did you know it's someone from the past
that like maybe I hurt their feelings or you know,
you just I think it's really hard to get past
what people think because and at the end of the day,
you can do as much fucking self work as you want.
(19:54):
But I think if you just say, oh, I don't
care what I think one thing. So I'm moving on,
I'm moving past this and I'm doing what i want
to do. I'm preaching what I want to preach, I'm
spreading the word, I'm doing this.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'm doing this. There is an.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Impact, Like as much as I can say, like all
the dms and the haters we get like don't impact
me like they do.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Like there is a piece.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Of it that's like, oh, you don't want to give
attention to the nativity or give attention to you know,
your passive demons, but it's there, you know, and of
course hopefully you work on working through your past demons
that can hold you back a little bit.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
But I think at any point.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
In time, you can let the hate shut you down
or quote unquote cancel you and tell you that you're
not you know, being compassionate or you're at you know whatever.
But if you let that hold you back, then you're
doing a disservice to the thousands of people's who lives
you can help impact and help change. So I think
(20:57):
That's a big thing I had to get over, like
what would people think of me?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What people think that I went to high school with
or elementary school. It's like, Alison, Yeah, does it fucking
matter who cares?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Like? It just does that stuff doesn't matter. But those
were beliefs that I definitely had to get over. Also
had to get over the fact that, you know, making
money was bad.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I wanted to give this away for free to everybody.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
But man, we've done that, I mean, you and I've
We've given sessions away to people, We've given packages the
way to people. And what you realize is a when
you put your own investment forward, you get better. When
you don't, you don't, I mean, there's no softer way
to say it, I think. And also, you just can't
(21:46):
grow a business when you're giving it away, and it sucks,
like I wish this could be Mother Teresa's clinic and
like we could just help everyone that can't afford it, right,
But at the end of the day, if you want
to make an impact, you actually have to charge money
so you can hire really top notch and top level
(22:07):
people that are gonna do your protocols and expand the
mission and grow on them, you know, grow themselves. And like,
if you want top level healers and people that are
gonna help women unlock their potential and you know, be
the executors of this mission, then you have to pay
them because they can't do it for free either. And
(22:29):
I think that was something I had to get over
because money was kind of looked at as like a
selfish bad thing. But then I had to pay for daycare,
and I was the one that had to pay for
the daycare, so and my student loans, and so you
just learn real quick that you.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Have to charge for it. And but when people.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Pay, they just they get better.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
And when people come here, you know that they pay
out of the pocket.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
They might take a loan, now, they might put it
on a credit card, but when they get better and
they sign up and pay for it, it's a they're
gonna get better no matter what, because they're gonna freaking
make it work for them because they've made the decision
that they're gonna get better.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And once you make that decision, there's nothing that's gonna
stop you.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
So I feel like that question really highlighted the fact
that you have like an awareness that a lot of
other business.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Owners may not have.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And so I personally know that you go through a
lot of coaching and you've had you know, therapists and
mentors and a spiritual baby medium. So how do you
like intertwine all of that to first be a a
good leader and also like to.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Make decisions like for your business?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh thank you, that's so nice to say that I'm
a good leader you or I love you.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I couldn't do this without business coaching. I didn't go
I didn't go to pet school to learn how to
be a business owner, right, so I had to learn
how to run a business real fast. And so I
invested in business coaching right away, even when I only
had five thousand dollars to my name, Like I was like,
this is probably what I need. I need to learn
as much as hemingly possible. Getting myself around right people
(24:07):
has been probably one of the best value ads to
my life because I get to see, you know, their
mistakes and their successes can and because I started from
the very beginning of my business, I have gotten to
follow really successful people.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And I think that's in anything you want to do
well in.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Your life, go ride the coattails and the whatever the
wins of the people that have already created the path right,
and so I just got to learn from people who
have been doing it and had done it and had
done it with also living the lifestyle and the freedom
and everything that I wanted to also do.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
And you know, because you.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Can go run a business and make a lot of
money and be miserable as shit and working, you know,
twenty hours a day.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And granted, there was a phase of my life where
I was but I.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Wanted to have balance, Like I wanted to be there
for my kids, and my biggest goal in the beginning
was like I wanted to be able to drop them
off the bus and be home for them the bus
and take summers off with them.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Now, those goals shifted massively once I had them.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
You know, once we got into older phases and I realized,
like morning was my prime time working and that's where
I wanted to spend my mornings. But you know, it
continues to ebb and flow and shift right, and so
the business coaching for me is just other outlooks. You
only know what's in your own head. You only know
what you consume from books. Most of the thoughts in
(25:25):
our heads aren't actually our own thoughts, right like it
is from the world, and that's how we develop our
own opinions and our own thoughts, our own feelings. And
so you just want to be really careful what resources
you're getting those thoughts from. And I'm lucky that I've
you know, gotten in with some great business coaches and
sit around really intelligent people. And I think that's part
(25:49):
of my mindset though It's like I always want to
be growing, I always want to be learning. I don't
feel like I'm a good enough leader, Like I could
be so much better in every single department, every single
facet in my life, and so I don't think I'll
ever have contentment around that. But then I also know that,
like my pursuit to be a better leader, my pursuit
to run this business bigger and be bigger and make
a bigger impact, is the fulfillment is in that pursuit
(26:13):
for me, And I think that's one of the biggest
lessons I've learned. It's like because I remember asking myself
along the way, like Alison, when is it ever gonna
be enough?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
When is this gonna be enough?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
And like and so I almost felt like, how are
you not happy with yourself. How are you not like
and then I realized, like, no, the fulfillment, the joy,
It's not about the bank account. It is one hundred
percent the journey. Like and I know everyone says that
and it sounds so cliche, but it's that's the real truth, right,
It's like you just get your fulfillment, you get your
happiness by continuing to pursue this. I mean, today we
(26:47):
got to go do this photo shoot, right, That's why
I have my hair done and my makeup done and
Devin curates this the photos, and you know, we get
to use this content for the podcast, we use the
content for the social media, we use the content for
different branding and office things.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
And it's like I get to go.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Do that, and like I think both of us were
just we end the photoshoot and we're like that was
so fun. And then they even said during the photoshop
I can't believe you guys have to go back to
work to do this, and I was like, dude, we
get to go back to work, Like you don't understand
our work environment, Like you don't understand that, like this
is where we find or where I find.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I won't speak for them, but where I find like
so much joy.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
We both will say, like if we're having an off day,
it's like we'll come into the office the minute we're
here and like and we're working and that we're like,
thank goodness we came in today.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That was the right decision because I feel so much better.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And I think that's just the energy of what the
office is and a lot of people are responsible for
that feeling. In said, everyone has to show up right
to be able to bring each other up. And so
that's where I'm like, we have such a great team,
we have such great culture, and I don't even feel
like I can take credit for that, but maybe a
(28:01):
little bit, maybe, you know, maybe a lot. It's it's
it's funny, like if I am super grateful for it,
like to be like not there's not many people in
this world that can be like, I'm gonna go to
work and I'm gonna come home feeling that much better. Right,
And it's also in the nature of what we do,
like helping women feel the best in their bodies and
(28:23):
freaking thrive and go doing epic things like sailing the
damn world when they couldn't given hold down a job
because they were in so much pain, Like when you
see people live these lives and like you impacted it,
or like they went through endless fertility treatments but then
all of a sudden theyre knocked up. After doing our
fertility protocols for two months, You're like, I mean, this
(28:44):
shit works, and that fills you up to the nines.
Every single berth we get a picture of the baby,
like you just you know why you're doing it right,
and so like, I mean, it's not just the energy
and the people and the culture, it's also like the
effect that or having on other people's lives and how
we get to touch other people's lives. It's like really
special and I will never take that for granted.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
And like to have seen you through your personal growth
journey and like you have always.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Had this like intense self.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Belief and very like positive outlook.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And I think you do need to.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Take a big portion of the credit for our culture
because like you instilled it in me, and then we
kept bringing more and more people on that had that
like light reflection of you in them, and so it's
like now we get to this point where it's like
we love our team and we hear that again and
again from them, and then we hear it from the
clients too that they're like, oh, I just love being here,
(29:44):
Like all of our reviews are like the team, and
it's like it all started with her.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
So take your credit, take your flowers. It's all you.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
So you had mentioned that you really wanted to be
able to pick up those kids, dump them off all
that stuff, Like what life lesson have they taught you
that you can bring into either the treatment room or
the office or just like your outlook in business in general.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, I mean, I think the children just gave me
a sense of presence, and I didn't learn that lesson unfortunately, until.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Jala was born.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I think along the way of like curating ju Jala's incarnation,
when we were you know, like kind of going on
that journey to like think about like getting pregnant with
her and whatnot, is when I truly learned a lesson
of presence. Before then, I think I was so busy
and focused on like building the business. I kind of
rushed through, rushed through their childhoods unfortunately. But I think
(30:46):
like that was what the universe wanted to show me,
and the universe kind of gave me Jala in a way.
That let me kind of get a do over for
that age range. When Cano was born, I opened the
business three weeks later or two weeks later really, and
I have a big blind blur spot, you know, cause
you're in the chaos of postpartum. But I was in
(31:07):
the chaos of also starting this business and trying to
create an income here because Dylan had been like, you know,
we're gonna move back to Wisconsin if you don't start
this business, so you know, we we can't afford to
live here with two children, and YadA, YadA, yadas.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
So I was like, okay, I think you know, I was.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I had to pull the trigger, pulled the trig, and
so grateful for that ultimatum, if you will, But uh
pulled the trigger and opened the business. But Cana was
only two weeks when I like was like, okay, the
the website learned how to do.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
This, like so I was.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I was just all, I was all messed up, right,
like you're a two weeks postpartum. I had a two
year old. Chloe was two when you're bare not even two.
She was twenty three months when Kana was born, and
so it was two hundred two and it was it
like that is a total blur period for me, and
it's sad a little bit, but it's also a huge
(32:04):
gift because I became I learned the gift of presence
probably by three or four in the business, and I
think that's that's the gift. And there's a book by
Ron Das and it's called be Here Now. And that
book literally awoke in me. And it's a really crazy book,
(32:29):
like he was on drugs when he made this book
or something, but like it's written in like circular patterns
and you have to like follow it. But the mantra
of be here now can just be read repeated in
your brain when you're with your children, when you're doing
your workout and you don't want to be there, and
it's like, nope, just be here now, be here now,
be here now. And like I constantly repeat that to myself.
(32:50):
Block out everything you think you need to do in
the business, everything you think you need to do at home,
and it's like, just be here now.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
And so the children gave me that gift.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Different self help books and things I read have given
me that gift.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
But yeah, that's up.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
And so you've told us the mantra that kind of
gets you through, but like there have to be times
when she has hit the fan, the positive outlook is gone,
Like how do you pull yourself out of it?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Like what are your tactical things? Cause we hear all
the time like how does she do it?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
She runs this business, she runs this second business, she
works out, she has three kids, Like there's all of
these things, but like I could do it.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I have a cat and I'm stressed out, So like
what like what did he do? What's the secret? No?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
So there, I don't have an answer. That's just who
I am. I think I've also trained myself to be
that way.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
It truly is not just an outlook like it is
an outlook, it's a mindset that I choose to have
every single day. And part of that mindset is like
this is am I living my billionaire life? Like, truly,
is this the life that I would be living as
a billionaire? Every single day?
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What would I choose?
Speaker 1 (34:09):
And? Hands down this is it? Every single time? And
if something feels out of alignment, then we have to
make a shift, Like I have to make a shift
and that's not gonna you know, support this lifestyle that
I'm aiming for and the lifestyle that I.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Want right, So then that's where things need to shift.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
And when things go blow up into chaos, it's like
always in forever for me, it's what's the lesson here?
You know, if we have some business problem or whatever,
it's like, what are we learning here? What's the gift
someone left the team? What are the lessons we learned? Oh,
this actually goes back to the recruiting. This is how
with that person came in the business.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Oh, okay, maybe we need to be more aware of
that next time. Maybe we should ask more questions around that.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
And so it's like it's just everything is here, I
think to give us lessons and it's like you wouldn't choose.
Someone said this to me, you know in my thralls
of endless counseling and shaman's and healers who I learn
from and I just get to learn about myself, about
my soul, about life. So that lights me up, Like
that's so fun for me, like to continue to progress
(35:12):
on those realms. And someone said to me, it's like
you did, Oh what did I say?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I think you said you.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Were like, would I just come if I had the
chance to come to earth and only feel the good?
Would I come to Earth just to feel the good?
And you're like, you wouldn't know the fucking good if
you didn't have the bad. And there really isn't any
good or bad. They're all just lessons and like and
that's truly how I look at this. My outlook is
one hundred percent always that this is a playground and
(35:41):
I'm just playing the damn great game like this is Earth.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Welcome to Earth. Your soul gets to.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Play right now and then continue to evolve and learn
these amazing lessons. How are you gonna progress through them?
And the worst shit could happen? And it's like, okay,
but you've already like you could lose it. Someone asked
me the other week Justin's call when I was coaching
doing a coaching call.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
It's like, but do you work on like manifesting not
losing it?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
And it's like, no, because I have all the skills
in the world to go rebuild this.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
So that gives me all the.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Confidence in the world that I can just go repeat this,
and like I get to every single thing is a
lesson and and and a valuable one and so all
everything you think you're going through, that's hard, that's chaotic,
that's not ideal. Okay, what is it teaching you? Like
that is a gift? So then you have gratitude for
(36:37):
the lesson for the not ideal, and more good stuff
just keeps coming, right, And so yeah, I don't have
a good answer for like how I do it all pay?
That was a great answer, But that's the you know,
at the end of the day, it comes down to
your mindset. It's just how what are you going to
see this world as and how do you want your
container to be?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
How do you want your soul container to to be
and show up?
Speaker 3 (37:01):
And you choose, truly love that We're gonna close out
on this question what are you most proud of? Cause
I I know you, so I know the mindsets like
I can always do better, I can always be better.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
But like when was a moment we were like damn,
like I did that.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Well. I had a little bit of that when I
when we were on I had Devin come with me
on this coaching call that we did for like a
couple hundred people last week, and it was it was
kind of like I was like, Devin Halbigs our team,
You're like thirteen and I'm like okay, and I was like,
I actually, I'm sitting here teaching other health professionals that
(37:41):
are top level at their game, teaching them helping them
like learn how to run their businesses and build their
businesses so they can help our people. And I was
just like, I think I.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Said that a lot. I was like, I actually don't
know how I did this, And it was kind.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Of one of those moments it's like, oh my goodness,
Like this business.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Runs without me.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Really, I mean, we're we do content creation, and but
I'm just playing like I didn't actually feel like I
worked today, Like we just did a photo shoot and
we're playing right like, and I get to hang out
with my best friend who also is my kick ass
GM and so it's like for me, Yeah, there's just.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
What was the original question, what are you most proud?
What am I most proud of?
Speaker 3 (38:24):
It?
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I guess it's that, I mean, it's fun that, like
we build a business.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
There's stuff I'm not ready to say that I can
tell you that I'm most proud of soon, But it's
the fact that I built this while my kids were
growing up and not born and born, and you know,
I've been able to do it all and obviously not well, like,
there's holes everywhere, and you just continue to make better
decisions and choices along the way to help fill those
(38:51):
holes and help improve your life and become more elevated
and fucking aligned and aligned.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
And elevated whatever, you know. And so yeah, so I
I guess I'm.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Just really I'm really proud of the business that that
we've built, not even me, and we have built you know,
we've done this together, and you've helped me, and so
our team has helped and and so it's just a
pretty magical thing.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, to think that.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
And I guess I'm very proud of the life I've
built because I get to choose what I wanna do
and work on every single day, and and my babies
are fragging. So I'm proud of proud of them.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yeah, I'm just I'm really I'm really proud. I'm proud
of the books that I've written.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
I think that you know, people before we release Pregnancy Era,
before we even really had our pregnant like pregnancy, when
we had our pregnancy protocols really since the beginning of
the get Go, but like people were not treating until
we normalized treating internally during pregnancy to help people have
(39:52):
better verse.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
People were not doing it, they didn't talk about it.
They've to boot it in every single probably floor class.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
So when we came out and like, I really put
myself on the line, I think for that, I was
really proud of that because it's like now that's normalized.
And of course now the reason people will get referred
here is because like their obs have seen our birth outcomes.
Like when an ob finds out that you're that are
like their person delivering their patient came to bond emotion,
(40:21):
they're like, oh, okay, like this will be easy, you know,
and like when they're when someone's doula is like, oh you.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Go to bod emotion.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Yes, I want to be your doula. Like of course
they do because it's easier deliveries.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Like and so I don't mean to like not brush.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
My shoulders up, but like truly like that is that
makes me really proud. So when doctors see your outcomes,
even when it ends in c section, and they're like, oh,
the c section was so much better because they did
that pelic for work for you with you, and it's
like they would not say they don't say that about
other you know, pelic for therapy, and and of course
some people are starting to treat like us now because
(40:55):
they you know, I think it's getting out there more so.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
But were the one that kind of pioneered that.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
It feels like not to much to me, mostly Allison,
but we do see as the text messages too right.
People are like my nurses were like astounded, like how
did this happen?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
You know, and it's just it's so amazing.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
And so that goes to show you why so many
of our patients are nurses here. They're all there's so
many overly nurses because they'll come and they'll come from everywhere.
They'll come from the East side, they'll come from the South,
and they'll come from the north because they work at Evergreen,
they work it over like they work at that Virginia
Mason or did work at Virginia Mason. They work at
Valley like they work at Providence, and so then they'll
(41:37):
come here. We've had nurses, multiple nurses, cohorts and nurses
from every hospital because they're like, no, I saw your
your client. She was the first time mom. She had
this huge baby and she delivered the baby with like
two threads. I mean, it's like and that, but that's
like every nurse that comes here, and like you want
to know why we have such a big population of nurses,
It's because they see our birth outcomes and like they're
(41:58):
hand and foot in these deliveries. Why are these deliveries
so much easier? Hours in the labor so much easier
hours and pushing, right, I'd rather hold someone's leg for
ten breaths than for ten hours of pushing. That's not productive, right,
And so anyways, tangent and I'm out of that.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
Yeah, and I feel like we sit around a lot,
like wow, can you believe this, like at least once
a week for like, huh, who gave us as much responsibility? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yeah, but it's such a blessing. Well, this has been
so fun. I love being a host. You got my
like tiny little mike.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
But we will drop the links to both of her
books as well as the Rohm Doass book be here
now in case you need some inspiration.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
That's all I've got. Love it, Thank you so much.
It was so fun.
Welcome to another episode of the Aligned and Elevator podcast.

Physical Therapy, owner of af Wellness Community, and your host

special episode. So we are bringing on my Ride or Die.
(00:21):
This person is beyond special to me. Devin was my
first hire that I ever made in the Body Motion
air Evolution. Really you were you know, I think in
twenty So body Motion started July twenty twenty, twenty seventeen.
So after July twenty seventeen, I went and started this
(00:43):
Body Motion and it was a mobile business. Then we
went on and started to hire employees. Aka, I went
on and started to hire employees, and I started interviewing
in December twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
No, December twenty eighteen, I hired you.
Speaker 1 (01:01):

(01:38):

our episode where I take the non host role, Devin
takes over and while you're gonna go from there, Yeah, welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
To another episode Minded Elevated. I'm your host today, Devin.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And to start us off, I would love to kind
of hear if you weren't a PTE, what would you
want to be doing?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh that's so good.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Okay, two things I've always wanted to be of Arista,
So I would love to like make coffees and really
in in this era, I could see myself owning different
coffee shops. But I think as my side gig, like
if you were like, what would you go pursue or
maybe what do you get in pursue next? In like
(02:29):
your dream fantasy world? Okay, let me tell you about it.
So my dream fantasy world is that I go buy
plots of land and get investors to build hockey rink resorts.
And what this looks like is like big hotels with
multiple hockey rinks inside of it, where the hockey is
for the community and people can skate there, learn to play.
(02:50):
Obviously you'll always have figure skaters too, but it's a
community ice centers that are located all over and then
we build massive resorts. So I grew up playing hockey,
and I I always dreamed with my mom actually of
having these hockey rink hotels where the hockey rink would
just be located in the bottom of the hotel. And
as I've gotten older and gotten like a tad bit bougier,
(03:11):
these would be like spa like resort hotels where kids
could go and like have areas where they play like
floor hockey when their teams come to play and have
tournaments at the rink.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And then we would have a youth hockey.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Association and then of course an adult hockey association.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And so hockey rink resort hotels are like, I.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Think that's maybe my next adventure, slash my dream, my
dream life.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, I would have never guessed that, and I would
have never guessed the barista. In my head, I was like,
she wants to be a pro hockey player. Obviously, so
because you don't currently have the legacy of these luxury.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Hockey hotels, what do you want your legacy to be?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Like, I know so much of it is like women's
health related, but like when you lay your head at night, you're.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Like, I don't want to be known for this.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That's so interesting. I guess I never really think that way.
I don't think about I guess I'm not pursuing anything
for my own personal legacy, because once you're.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Fucking dead, what does it matter?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And at the end, I guess, But I think if
you ask me what my mission is, my purpose, it's
absolutely women's health, changing women's health care. But it was
always like, I want women to feel really good. I
don't want them to have pelvic issues. I want them
to not have to like go down the rabbit hole
of chasing low back pain. I don't want them gonna
(04:29):
have to go down the rabbit hole of chasing hip pain,
which is all related to the core, which then drives
them into cortisone injections and surgeries.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And obviously there's a time and a place for surgeries.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But you know, if you follow along at all, you
know that this is absolutely preventable.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
And so that is my life mission.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
When the pelvic floor is strong and healthy and the
core is strong and healthy, like we feel really good
in our skins, our skins multiple multiple, But that I
mean it unlocks something deeper, right, Like it unlocks When
I was still in the trading room, I remember I'd
come out to you and you were in the front,
(05:05):
and I'd be like, she just told me. You know,
she's in marketing, and she just told me that she
wants to pivot and go open her own business, and
she wants her business to be fitness related for postpart
of moms, or she wants her business to be a
DULA agency because she was so impacted by like this journey.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
And I think so many moms.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Get impacted by their journeys of going through pregnancy, going
through postpartum that they then want to pivot and make.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
That career switch.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And what I see is that a lot of moms
like it when they're in that phase, but then it
kind of fades out and wanes away and they don't
really stay with it as life gets busy and so.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I would love to see that shift.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I would love to see like the continued pursuit of
their passions and their creativity. And so I really think
like my mission now is like yes, every creative mission,
every creative pursuit, every contribution and service that I bring
to this world, that every woman brings us to this world,
(06:06):
it starts with their powertfloor physical theory, It starts with
their health.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It starts with their internal health.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It starts with the health of how they move their body,
which is how they feel in their skin, which leads
to confidence, which leads them down a path of finding
their own creativity, which allows them to generate their passions
and pursue their passions. And at certain points, I think
along that journey, we get distracted, whether that's ten years
(06:33):
with the kids or twenty years with the kids at home,
and we can lose ourself. And the minute that health
ticker goes out the window, the minute that you stop.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Caring about the health aspect of it, everything goes to shit.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That every sing yeah you just like you actually could
start shitting yourself, but no, but like really and we
help with that, right, That's why I say that, like,
if you if you have baling continence, like we will
help you with that, but that was a tangent when
your health is not your priority. And when we lose
our health, we lose every single thing that our health
(07:11):
brings us, which is how we show up for our family,
which is art, which is how we feel about ourselves,
which is how we show up to our jobs, which
is how we show up to life. And if we're
not showing up because we feel like shit, because our
health is bad, then we don't get.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
That creativity that spark.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's really hard to sit and feel like shit and
then be like, oh yeah, I'm gonna go jump on
creating this business to help go improve society.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It just doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So, I mean, I think one of the things you know,
you talk about, I don't even know what your original
question was, but you talk about like the mission of
the business, it is one hundred percent health. But it's
because health is wealth. Like health drives your income, health
drives your contributions to this world.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Health drives everything is the it is the.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Next day and healthic health especially like is the root
of all of our you know, of our total body health.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And so what we have a body.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Motion is we see a lot of patients monthly, right,
so we have clients that come in on this monthly basis,
and it is such an important important tune up, like
get you might get a massage once a month. If
you don't, you should, but you absolutely should get a
pelvic health tune up, and we tune up the whole body.
If your neck is sore, we're working on the neck,
but we're also making sure your pelvic floor is dynamic,
(08:27):
you have range of motion, that your core is super strong.
This is a fifty minute hands on session to make
sure all your muscles, all your joints are half the
range of motion, half the strength, have the stability so
you can go dominate life and then you're not going
to be chasing this achy hip which is eventually going
to lead you down, you know, to a hip replacement.
(08:48):
Not not anytime soon, but like right down the line.
And so the more that we keep the body tuned up,
the more that we just keep investing in our health
and keep our bodies healthy, it just unleashes everything that
women can tri reach of this world and that will
make the better the world a better place. And so
I think it's like not just you know I started
the mission of being like live for your health, live
(09:10):
to avoid diapers, live to avoid you know, being in
a wheelchair eventually, And the truth is it's like along
the way, if we're not caring for our health, we
just can't improve the world and we can't progress this
place to be a better place. And I think we're
all put on this planet for you know, this is
getting deep now, but I really do believe like we
(09:30):
all come to life with some kind of mission and
we have we have to unlock our own potential and
figure out what lights us up, where are true gifts
and how can we move this place to be a
better place? And we can only tap into that when
we feel good. So drawn out story, but I love
(09:50):
a rant that that's where we're at.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's that's yeah, I love that.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And what would you say is like the moment in
time that unlock your PARTI like that you were you
knew like, oh I have to level up or like
I'm meant for more.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
So, as a physical.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Therapist, I think there were there's been multiple signs, right,
and I think gut intuitions that I just followed when
I became a pel pelvic floor physical therapist. I didn't
want to be a public floor physical therapist. I didn't
really like touching people in general. So then to think
that I'm gonna go do touch people's bodies and all
this stuff, it was like, mm, that was like that
(10:30):
was not that pun to think about.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But we had this.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Woman come into our PT school and she eventually became
my mentor and was hugely inspirational for me. But she
comes into OURPT school, tells us about gives the one
lecture on pelvic floor physical pelvic floor health. Really so
it says like women can leak and oh, by the way,
if you were leaking as a female athlete as a kid,
like that's you know, this is really common stuff and here's.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Why this happens.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And I was like and that was me, So I
was like, fuck, I don't wanna know that, but like
that's kind of nice to know that there wasn't something
wrong with me.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
But usually it's just not something that like you talk
about often.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And so the minute she started saying that, I think
that was the first clue to be like, shit, I
actually have to pursue this, Like this is probably a
little bit of my calling. And I didn't want it
to because I wanted to be a sports physical therapist.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Through and through I was a hockey player. I wanted
to work with hockey players.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I wanted to have a hockey training facility, like that
was gonna be my jam.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
But then I, you know, I was like, that was
my first sign.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And then the second sign was like being at being
at a clinical when I when I was in PET
school and.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Realizing like, holy cow, like the way.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
That we're changing people's lives is truly instrumental. And I've
never seen this done in you know, physical therapy before,
even though I had worked at a pet clinic before this,
before I went to PET school. And so then I
think the real, the real, like final ticker for me.
I had already become a peltical or physical therapist, had
worked in nursing homes, worked in patient physical therapy, and
(12:02):
I started to put together these patterns that women were experiencing.
When I started to like, you know, when I was like, Okay,
how come everyone past sixty five in like or getting
home health services like in their seventies and eighties. How
Come they're all wearing divers? How come they can barely walk?
It's every fricking one of them. But then especially the women.
(12:23):
Why are all the women getting joint replacements and they've
already maybe had a bladder surgery and they're still in
a damn diver And it was like, what did we
miss along the way. And so when I started to
really thread these patterns together, which you can read all
about and restore your body after kids, The Secret to
avoid painting your pants and eighty joints as you age
that book, I mean, that's where I really break down
(12:46):
the patterns that happen for women, the soliloquies that happen
when you don't have your core. Yeah, I talk about
it and in a framework that's for after kids, but.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The reality is like kids or no kids.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
If your pelvic floor isn't working for you, which can
happen without kids, then you don't have your core.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So you're gonna fit the pattern.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You are gonna fit these patterns and these different soliloquies
that happen after kids. And so if you don't heal
your bodies and we can't you know, help progress people,
then of course they have to turn to surgeons. Of
course they have to turn to you know, pills and injections,
and then that just is a cover up, right, because
(13:28):
then you're not actually changing the body, You're just putting
a band aid on it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And that sucks. That really really sucks. There's a time
and the place.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
For everything, for every surgery, for every band aid, for
every injection. You know, I've definitely recommended it at certain
points to different patients, But if you are also treating
what has caused that in the first place, then you're
eternally fucked and it's just gonna go somewhere else and
ruin some other joint. And so I think that is
when I put all that together, That is when I
(13:56):
got my AHA moment of like, this is what I'm
meant to do. I put it all to postpartum, you know,
in that book, and it was the hardest effing thing
for me to release because it was putting myself on
the line. And I think one of my biggest things
I had to get over was the judgment I was
going to face from other people, especially other public florputees,
because these were just patterns I had seen clinically. So
(14:17):
were they even fucking valid? I don't know, I didn't know,
you know, I didn't have the confidence back then that
I do. Now I've seen it for the past fifteen
years now, so like, yes, very valid.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But it was like there was this little person on
my shoulder that's like.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
This is not an evidence based randomized control tryout, Like okay,
go fuck yourself, Like this is all very valid, right,
Like this is all It doesn't need to be research based.
This can be what we see in the clinic.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
This can be what I.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
See time and time and time again. And at a
certain point you get angry about it, Like I definitely
had my moments of anger, and then seeing my mom
go through what she's gone through, it's like it makes
you angry at a certain a point that like how
come we have no one stepped out, No one stepped
out of the box to be like this isn't right,
this isn't normal.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Every physical therapist has.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Just gone on and I'm like, oh, yeah, actually we
see that pattern too. But insurance we can only treat
your knee, and oh you want to prevent something, No,
we don't do that, you know, And so you're so
boxed up and can find it as a healthcare provider
with rules, regulations and all that stuff, and it just
there's a huge missing link, and I think once I was,
(15:27):
I like gained the confidence to speak the truth and
speak what we see. I just I can't stop.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, totally. I love it and I've gotten to see
it first.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
So I guess my next question would be, like, when
was the moment that you knew you were playing small,
like that you knew like, oh, this is gonna get big,
Like mmm, do you.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Think it's big now? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I mean I still feel like I'm playing small. Yeah,
I honestly do.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I feel like there's so much room to grow this.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I feel embarrassed that it's still small, like like that's
how I feel. I don't actually feel like this is
big in the fact that there's so many people that
still don't even know what we do.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Like maybe they've had peblic floor physical therapy.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
And it's consistent of the key bills, and it's consistent
of like you know, doing some core strengthening and it's
like okay, great, but like really, like is your core optimal?
Are you optimally functioning in this world? Like are you
not leaking? Are you your bad movements are fantastic? Are
you having really great sex? Are you having like any
(16:35):
pain in your knees, are your hips, in your neck
and your fact and most people do to some degree,
have some issues, and so it's like there is still
room to improve. And I think what people don't realize
is like every shoulder problem is a pelvic floor problem,
every need problem is a heelviy floor problem, and like
everything is so intraconnected that just dealing with one area doesn't.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Do the body justice.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And I I'll just tell you this weekend, I was
sitting with some moms and I still play small, and
I I kind of I'm still working on using my voice.
I know you're laughing, like I like you think I
play big, but I feel like I'm just still so small.
Like I'm like, why isn't this on the Today Show
every damn day until every single woman feels empowered to
(17:19):
go live.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Their best lives? Right, Like it's true Today Show, we
are ready for you. Yes, But.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Where was I going with the What what I wanna
say though, is like like I was even with a
bunch of soccer moms this weekend. Chloe had a soccer
tournament and they were And I've been with these moms
now for like a year and a half and and
I'm kind of shy outside of this out of my
out of our work environment, Like I'm very introverted outside
of work. I know you're like, you don't think that's real,
but it's very much real. Like I keep to myself.
(17:47):
I I really don't always put myself in social situations.
You're not gonna find me at the bar, like it's
just not where I'm gonna be. But so the mom
were asking like, oh, what do you do when we
were talking, and it was nice to communicate with them,
and I've wanted to talk to them, like wanted to
know what they do or what their husbands do or whatever.
(18:08):
And one of the moms and I told them, I
was like, you know, I have these businesses and and
I also do this podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
And one of the moms was like, oh, you have
a podcast, you know, And.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I was like it was so flattering, but I was like, fuck,
like how do I not have more word spread on this?
You know? And like and and that's how I feel
about health and like everything related to women's health at all.
It's like they're just people just don't know what they
don't know, and so there is still such an effort
to get this done, and I have to just say
(18:37):
one more story. Like I was working with a client
last week. It was a really complicated case. Just happened
to pass her in the hallway and she like kind
of you know, went through her like just like caught
me up on where she's been since I chatted with
her last and she was like, you know, I just
can't believe I could have prevented all of this if
(18:58):
I just knew that I needed to come here during pregnancy.
And that literally breaks my heart and that makes me
every freaking day.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Be like you're not playing big enough.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
There's so much room you believe that you can have
a bigger impact, which I absolutely love. Is there like
a belief that you had previously that you had to
let go of to get to this point.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yes, And it's it's actually a very scary belief to
even like acknowledge publicly.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But like I didn't want people to know who I was.
I didn't want.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I didn't want like you know, you're always worried like,
oh I did you know it's someone from the past
that like maybe I hurt their feelings or you know,
you just I think it's really hard to get past
what people think because and at the end of the day,
you can do as much fucking self work as you want.
(19:54):
But I think if you just say, oh, I don't
care what I think one thing. So I'm moving on,
I'm moving past this and I'm doing what i want
to do. I'm preaching what I want to preach, I'm
spreading the word, I'm doing this.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'm doing this. There is an.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Impact, Like as much as I can say, like all
the dms and the haters we get like don't impact
me like they do.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Like there is a piece.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Of it that's like, oh, you don't want to give
attention to the nativity or give attention to you know,
your passive demons, but it's there, you know, and of
course hopefully you work on working through your past demons
that can hold you back a little bit.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
But I think at any point.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
In time, you can let the hate shut you down
or quote unquote cancel you and tell you that you're
not you know, being compassionate or you're at you know whatever.
But if you let that hold you back, then you're
doing a disservice to the thousands of people's who lives
you can help impact and help change. So I think
(20:57):
That's a big thing I had to get over, like
what would people think of me?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What people think that I went to high school with
or elementary school. It's like, Alison, Yeah, does it fucking
matter who cares?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Like? It just does that stuff doesn't matter. But those
were beliefs that I definitely had to get over. Also
had to get over the fact that, you know, making
money was bad.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I wanted to give this away for free to everybody.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
But man, we've done that, I mean, you and I've
We've given sessions away to people, We've given packages the
way to people. And what you realize is a when
you put your own investment forward, you get better. When
you don't, you don't, I mean, there's no softer way
to say it, I think. And also, you just can't
(21:46):
grow a business when you're giving it away, and it sucks,
like I wish this could be Mother Teresa's clinic and
like we could just help everyone that can't afford it, right,
But at the end of the day, if you want
to make an impact, you actually have to charge money
so you can hire really top notch and top level
(22:07):
people that are gonna do your protocols and expand the
mission and grow on them, you know, grow themselves. And like,
if you want top level healers and people that are
gonna help women unlock their potential and you know, be
the executors of this mission, then you have to pay
them because they can't do it for free either. And
(22:29):
I think that was something I had to get over
because money was kind of looked at as like a
selfish bad thing. But then I had to pay for daycare,
and I was the one that had to pay for
the daycare, so and my student loans, and so you
just learn real quick that you.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Have to charge for it. And but when people.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Pay, they just they get better.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
And when people come here, you know that they pay
out of the pocket.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
They might take a loan, now, they might put it
on a credit card, but when they get better and
they sign up and pay for it, it's a they're
gonna get better no matter what, because they're gonna freaking
make it work for them because they've made the decision
that they're gonna get better.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And once you make that decision, there's nothing that's gonna
stop you.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
So I feel like that question really highlighted the fact
that you have like an awareness that a lot of
other business.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Owners may not have.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And so I personally know that you go through a
lot of coaching and you've had you know, therapists and
mentors and a spiritual baby medium. So how do you
like intertwine all of that to first be a a
good leader and also like to.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Make decisions like for your business?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh thank you, that's so nice to say that I'm
a good leader you or I love you.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I couldn't do this without business coaching. I didn't go
I didn't go to pet school to learn how to
be a business owner, right, so I had to learn
how to run a business real fast. And so I
invested in business coaching right away, even when I only
had five thousand dollars to my name, Like I was like,
this is probably what I need. I need to learn
as much as hemingly possible. Getting myself around right people
(24:07):
has been probably one of the best value ads to
my life because I get to see, you know, their
mistakes and their successes can and because I started from
the very beginning of my business, I have gotten to
follow really successful people.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And I think that's in anything you want to do
well in.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Your life, go ride the coattails and the whatever the
wins of the people that have already created the path right,
and so I just got to learn from people who
have been doing it and had done it and had
done it with also living the lifestyle and the freedom
and everything that I wanted to also do.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
And you know, because you.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Can go run a business and make a lot of
money and be miserable as shit and working, you know,
twenty hours a day.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And granted, there was a phase of my life where
I was but I.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Wanted to have balance, Like I wanted to be there
for my kids, and my biggest goal in the beginning
was like I wanted to be able to drop them
off the bus and be home for them the bus
and take summers off with them.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Now, those goals shifted massively once I had them.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
You know, once we got into older phases and I realized,
like morning was my prime time working and that's where
I wanted to spend my mornings. But you know, it
continues to ebb and flow and shift right, and so
the business coaching for me is just other outlooks. You
only know what's in your own head. You only know
what you consume from books. Most of the thoughts in
(25:25):
our heads aren't actually our own thoughts, right like it
is from the world, and that's how we develop our
own opinions and our own thoughts, our own feelings. And
so you just want to be really careful what resources
you're getting those thoughts from. And I'm lucky that I've
you know, gotten in with some great business coaches and
sit around really intelligent people. And I think that's part
(25:49):
of my mindset though It's like I always want to
be growing, I always want to be learning. I don't
feel like I'm a good enough leader, Like I could
be so much better in every single department, every single
facet in my life, and so I don't think I'll
ever have contentment around that. But then I also know that,
like my pursuit to be a better leader, my pursuit
to run this business bigger and be bigger and make
a bigger impact, is the fulfillment is in that pursuit
(26:13):
for me, And I think that's one of the biggest
lessons I've learned. It's like because I remember asking myself
along the way, like Alison, when is it ever gonna
be enough?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
When is this gonna be enough?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
And like and so I almost felt like, how are
you not happy with yourself. How are you not like
and then I realized, like, no, the fulfillment, the joy,
It's not about the bank account. It is one hundred
percent the journey. Like and I know everyone says that
and it sounds so cliche, but it's that's the real truth, right,
It's like you just get your fulfillment, you get your
happiness by continuing to pursue this. I mean, today we
(26:47):
got to go do this photo shoot, right, That's why
I have my hair done and my makeup done and
Devin curates this the photos, and you know, we get
to use this content for the podcast, we use the
content for the social media, we use the content for
different branding and office things.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
And it's like I get to go.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Do that, and like I think both of us were
just we end the photoshoot and we're like that was
so fun. And then they even said during the photoshop
I can't believe you guys have to go back to
work to do this, and I was like, dude, we
get to go back to work, Like you don't understand
our work environment, Like you don't understand that, like this
is where we find or where I find.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I won't speak for them, but where I find like
so much joy.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
We both will say, like if we're having an off day,
it's like we'll come into the office the minute we're
here and like and we're working and that we're like,
thank goodness we came in today.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That was the right decision because I feel so much better.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And I think that's just the energy of what the
office is and a lot of people are responsible for
that feeling. In said, everyone has to show up right
to be able to bring each other up. And so
that's where I'm like, we have such a great team,
we have such great culture, and I don't even feel
like I can take credit for that, but maybe a
(28:01):
little bit, maybe, you know, maybe a lot. It's it's
it's funny, like if I am super grateful for it,
like to be like not there's not many people in
this world that can be like, I'm gonna go to
work and I'm gonna come home feeling that much better. Right,
And it's also in the nature of what we do,
like helping women feel the best in their bodies and
(28:23):
freaking thrive and go doing epic things like sailing the
damn world when they couldn't given hold down a job
because they were in so much pain, Like when you
see people live these lives and like you impacted it,
or like they went through endless fertility treatments but then
all of a sudden theyre knocked up. After doing our
fertility protocols for two months, You're like, I mean, this
(28:44):
shit works, and that fills you up to the nines.
Every single berth we get a picture of the baby,
like you just you know why you're doing it right,
and so like, I mean, it's not just the energy
and the people and the culture, it's also like the
effect that or having on other people's lives and how
we get to touch other people's lives. It's like really
special and I will never take that for granted.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
And like to have seen you through your personal growth
journey and like you have always.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Had this like intense self.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Belief and very like positive outlook.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And I think you do need to.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Take a big portion of the credit for our culture
because like you instilled it in me, and then we
kept bringing more and more people on that had that
like light reflection of you in them, and so it's
like now we get to this point where it's like
we love our team and we hear that again and
again from them, and then we hear it from the
clients too that they're like, oh, I just love being here,
(29:44):
Like all of our reviews are like the team, and
it's like it all started with her.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
So take your credit, take your flowers. It's all you.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
So you had mentioned that you really wanted to be
able to pick up those kids, dump them off all
that stuff, Like what life lesson have they taught you
that you can bring into either the treatment room or
the office or just like your outlook in business in general.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, I mean, I think the children just gave me
a sense of presence, and I didn't learn that lesson unfortunately, until.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Jala was born.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I think along the way of like curating ju Jala's incarnation,
when we were you know, like kind of going on
that journey to like think about like getting pregnant with
her and whatnot, is when I truly learned a lesson
of presence. Before then, I think I was so busy
and focused on like building the business. I kind of
rushed through, rushed through their childhoods unfortunately. But I think
(30:46):
like that was what the universe wanted to show me,
and the universe kind of gave me Jala in a way.
That let me kind of get a do over for
that age range. When Cano was born, I opened the
business three weeks later or two weeks later really, and
I have a big blind blur spot, you know, cause
you're in the chaos of postpartum. But I was in
(31:07):
the chaos of also starting this business and trying to
create an income here because Dylan had been like, you know,
we're gonna move back to Wisconsin if you don't start
this business, so you know, we we can't afford to
live here with two children, and YadA, YadA, yadas.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
So I was like, okay, I think you know, I was.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I had to pull the trigger, pulled the trig, and
so grateful for that ultimatum, if you will, But uh
pulled the trigger and opened the business. But Cana was
only two weeks when I like was like, okay, the
the website learned how to do.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
This, like so I was.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I was just all, I was all messed up, right,
like you're a two weeks postpartum. I had a two
year old. Chloe was two when you're bare not even two.
She was twenty three months when Kana was born, and
so it was two hundred two and it was it
like that is a total blur period for me, and
it's sad a little bit, but it's also a huge
(32:04):
gift because I became I learned the gift of presence
probably by three or four in the business, and I
think that's that's the gift. And there's a book by
Ron Das and it's called be Here Now. And that
book literally awoke in me. And it's a really crazy book,
(32:29):
like he was on drugs when he made this book
or something, but like it's written in like circular patterns
and you have to like follow it. But the mantra
of be here now can just be read repeated in
your brain when you're with your children, when you're doing
your workout and you don't want to be there, and
it's like, nope, just be here now, be here now,
be here now. And like I constantly repeat that to myself.
(32:50):
Block out everything you think you need to do in
the business, everything you think you need to do at home,
and it's like, just be here now.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
And so the children gave me that gift.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Different self help books and things I read have given
me that gift.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
But yeah, that's up.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
And so you've told us the mantra that kind of
gets you through, but like there have to be times
when she has hit the fan, the positive outlook is gone,
Like how do you pull yourself out of it?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Like what are your tactical things? Cause we hear all
the time like how does she do it?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
She runs this business, she runs this second business, she
works out, she has three kids, Like there's all of
these things, but like I could do it.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I have a cat and I'm stressed out, So like
what like what did he do? What's the secret? No?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
So there, I don't have an answer. That's just who
I am. I think I've also trained myself to be
that way.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
It truly is not just an outlook like it is
an outlook, it's a mindset that I choose to have
every single day. And part of that mindset is like
this is am I living my billionaire life? Like, truly,
is this the life that I would be living as
a billionaire? Every single day?
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What would I choose?
Speaker 1 (34:09):
And? Hands down this is it? Every single time? And
if something feels out of alignment, then we have to
make a shift, Like I have to make a shift
and that's not gonna you know, support this lifestyle that
I'm aiming for and the lifestyle that I.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Want right, So then that's where things need to shift.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
And when things go blow up into chaos, it's like
always in forever for me, it's what's the lesson here?
You know, if we have some business problem or whatever,
it's like, what are we learning here? What's the gift
someone left the team? What are the lessons we learned? Oh,
this actually goes back to the recruiting. This is how
with that person came in the business.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Oh, okay, maybe we need to be more aware of
that next time. Maybe we should ask more questions around that.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
And so it's like it's just everything is here, I
think to give us lessons and it's like you wouldn't choose.
Someone said this to me, you know in my thralls
of endless counseling and shaman's and healers who I learn
from and I just get to learn about myself, about
my soul, about life. So that lights me up, Like
that's so fun for me, like to continue to progress
(35:12):
on those realms. And someone said to me, it's like
you did, Oh what did I say?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I think you said you.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Were like, would I just come if I had the
chance to come to earth and only feel the good?
Would I come to Earth just to feel the good?
And you're like, you wouldn't know the fucking good if
you didn't have the bad. And there really isn't any
good or bad. They're all just lessons and like and
that's truly how I look at this. My outlook is
one hundred percent always that this is a playground and
(35:41):
I'm just playing the damn great game like this is Earth.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Welcome to Earth. Your soul gets to.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Play right now and then continue to evolve and learn
these amazing lessons. How are you gonna progress through them?
And the worst shit could happen? And it's like, okay,
but you've already like you could lose it. Someone asked
me the other week Justin's call when I was coaching
doing a coaching call.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
It's like, but do you work on like manifesting not
losing it?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
And it's like, no, because I have all the skills
in the world to go rebuild this.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
So that gives me all the.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Confidence in the world that I can just go repeat this,
and like I get to every single thing is a
lesson and and and a valuable one and so all
everything you think you're going through, that's hard, that's chaotic,
that's not ideal. Okay, what is it teaching you? Like
that is a gift? So then you have gratitude for
(36:37):
the lesson for the not ideal, and more good stuff
just keeps coming, right, And so yeah, I don't have
a good answer for like how I do it all pay?
That was a great answer, But that's the you know,
at the end of the day, it comes down to
your mindset. It's just how what are you going to
see this world as and how do you want your
container to be?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
How do you want your soul container to to be
and show up?
Speaker 3 (37:01):
And you choose, truly love that We're gonna close out
on this question what are you most proud of? Cause
I I know you, so I know the mindsets like
I can always do better, I can always be better.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
But like when was a moment we were like damn,
like I did that.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Well. I had a little bit of that when I
when we were on I had Devin come with me
on this coaching call that we did for like a
couple hundred people last week, and it was it was
kind of like I was like, Devin Halbigs our team,
You're like thirteen and I'm like okay, and I was like,
I actually, I'm sitting here teaching other health professionals that
(37:41):
are top level at their game, teaching them helping them
like learn how to run their businesses and build their
businesses so they can help our people. And I was
just like, I think I.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Said that a lot. I was like, I actually don't
know how I did this, And it was kind.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Of one of those moments it's like, oh my goodness,
Like this business.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Runs without me.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Really, I mean, we're we do content creation, and but
I'm just playing like I didn't actually feel like I
worked today, Like we just did a photo shoot and
we're playing right like, and I get to hang out
with my best friend who also is my kick ass
GM and so it's like for me, Yeah, there's just.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
What was the original question, what are you most proud?
What am I most proud of?
Speaker 3 (38:24):
It?
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I guess it's that, I mean, it's fun that, like
we build a business.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
There's stuff I'm not ready to say that I can
tell you that I'm most proud of soon, But it's
the fact that I built this while my kids were
growing up and not born and born, and you know,
I've been able to do it all and obviously not well, like,
there's holes everywhere, and you just continue to make better
decisions and choices along the way to help fill those
(38:51):
holes and help improve your life and become more elevated
and fucking aligned and aligned.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
And elevated whatever, you know. And so yeah, so I
I guess I'm.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Just really I'm really proud of the business that that
we've built, not even me, and we have built you know,
we've done this together, and you've helped me, and so
our team has helped and and so it's just a
pretty magical thing.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, to think that.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
And I guess I'm very proud of the life I've
built because I get to choose what I wanna do
and work on every single day, and and my babies
are fragging. So I'm proud of proud of them.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yeah, I'm just I'm really I'm really proud. I'm proud
of the books that I've written.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
I think that you know, people before we release Pregnancy Era,
before we even really had our pregnant like pregnancy, when
we had our pregnancy protocols really since the beginning of
the get Go, but like people were not treating until
we normalized treating internally during pregnancy to help people have
(39:52):
better verse.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
People were not doing it, they didn't talk about it.
They've to boot it in every single probably floor class.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
So when we came out and like, I really put
myself on the line, I think for that, I was
really proud of that because it's like now that's normalized.
And of course now the reason people will get referred
here is because like their obs have seen our birth outcomes.
Like when an ob finds out that you're that are
like their person delivering their patient came to bond emotion,
(40:21):
they're like, oh, okay, like this will be easy, you know,
and like when they're when someone's doula is like, oh you.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Go to bod emotion.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Yes, I want to be your doula. Like of course
they do because it's easier deliveries.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Like and so I don't mean to like not brush.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
My shoulders up, but like truly like that is that
makes me really proud. So when doctors see your outcomes,
even when it ends in c section, and they're like, oh,
the c section was so much better because they did
that pelic for work for you with you, and it's
like they would not say they don't say that about
other you know, pelic for therapy, and and of course
some people are starting to treat like us now because
(40:55):
they you know, I think it's getting out there more so.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
But were the one that kind of pioneered that.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
It feels like not to much to me, mostly Allison,
but we do see as the text messages too right.
People are like my nurses were like astounded, like how
did this happen?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
You know, and it's just it's so amazing.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
And so that goes to show you why so many
of our patients are nurses here. They're all there's so
many overly nurses because they'll come and they'll come from everywhere.
They'll come from the East side, they'll come from the South,
and they'll come from the north because they work at Evergreen,
they work it over like they work at that Virginia
Mason or did work at Virginia Mason. They work at
Valley like they work at Providence, and so then they'll
(41:37):
come here. We've had nurses, multiple nurses, cohorts and nurses
from every hospital because they're like, no, I saw your
your client. She was the first time mom. She had
this huge baby and she delivered the baby with like
two threads. I mean, it's like and that, but that's
like every nurse that comes here, and like you want
to know why we have such a big population of nurses,
It's because they see our birth outcomes and like they're
(41:58):
hand and foot in these deliveries. Why are these deliveries
so much easier? Hours in the labor so much easier
hours and pushing, right, I'd rather hold someone's leg for
ten breaths than for ten hours of pushing. That's not productive, right,
And so anyways, tangent and I'm out of that.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
Yeah, and I feel like we sit around a lot,
like wow, can you believe this, like at least once
a week for like, huh, who gave us as much responsibility? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yeah, but it's such a blessing. Well, this has been
so fun. I love being a host. You got my
like tiny little mike.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
But we will drop the links to both of her
books as well as the Rohm Doass book be here
now in case you need some inspiration.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
That's all I've got. Love it, Thank you so much.
It was so fun.
