Speaker 1 (00:09):
I have a question for you.
You are so busy with all thethings that you do and you work
out, you do your study, you goto the gym, you go on walks, you
have these groups of women, youdo your health coaching and you
are feeding into a lot ofpeople how do you find your time
(00:32):
to be quiet, to meditate, to dothe grounding thing?
How do you do that?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I am not going to say that I always do it well,
because I was even thinkingtoday as I was rushing around
downstairs and I like knockedsomething over and I literally
told myself out loud Carla, slowdown, you have got to slow down
, this has got to stop.
I move at such a fast paceanyway, but it is waking up
(01:05):
early and it is going straightfrom there and it is either
doing my journaling quiet timeearly and then to the gym, or
opposite.
I knock out the gym and I comehome and then chill for a little
bit and do that.
I think I like that better.
This morning I flipped it, justdidn't feel the same.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
It didn't feel right.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I do always like the darker quiet of the morning, and
especially when I haveChristmas lights, which I don't
have up yet, but inside, where Icome, plug a man, it just feels
good.
If I go to the gym first, then Ilose that, because by the time
(01:48):
I get home it will be likeAnyway, it is that and then my
walking is either squeezed inright after that because it is
not a long walk, it is to takethe dogs and get out, or it is
broken up a couple of times or Ido it later.
I did a very short one thismorning and I will take the dogs
out a little bit because itjust feels good to me to get out
(02:11):
.
That is where, like I said, Islow down and I walk and I just
have that peace and then I comeback and I do more.
The walking group it is one daya week.
I put a post out and then I amdone.
The monthly women's group thereis not that much to it outside
(02:32):
of cultivating relationships.
From that, then probably thepodcasting is the most time
consuming, and the coaching,because I do have a handful of
coaching clients.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
If someone came to you and was like I just don't
have a routine like that.
I am not like that, carla, whatmotivates you?
I am like you.
I think about a lot of peoplethat don't have that.
I was kind of asking myselfthese questions earlier, just
whatever that I had asked youbecause you seem organized.
(03:11):
Or if someone says I am notorganized, do people ask you
that in your groups of women,like how?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It is funny that you are asking this, because last
night when I did a Zoom coachingcall and it is not like I do a
monthly membership and that isnot included I just felt like,
hey, my clients need some timeto ask me questions.
I scheduled an hour for themjust to hop on.
There was things like that.
(03:41):
I just don't know how I workall day.
I get home and I don't feellike working out In the morning.
I don't.
It was a lot of thatconversation.
I don't feel motivated.
That was one of the biggestwords.
That is one of the things thatI have recognized lately is, if
we wait for motivation, thereare so many times it is not
(04:04):
happening.
It is discipline, it is creatingthat discipline and committing
to it and consistency.
When we were talking last night, that was a big thing.
That came up was consistencyand discipline and committed.
That is just.
I know where I am at.
(04:26):
If I don't do that, things justdon't roll well for me.
If I am disciplined in myworking out and I am disciplined
in my time to be quiet anddisciplined in my walking, and
discipline and focusing which iswhere I probably have the
hardest time is when I have tosit there and focus on writing
(04:50):
out my show notes, my podcaststuff, my client stuff, sending
out emails without trying tocheck my phone or distract
myself because I might want tobe doing something else.
That is not.
The little details are notnecessarily the fun part.
I know it has to be done.
That is kind of what I say.
It is discipline.
(05:11):
There is morning.
I was not that motivated to goto the gym.
I found after I sat and I hadmy coffee and I did my quiet
time, the sun was coming up.
It was getting pretty.
We have not seen sunshine in afew days.
I was like I don't want to go,I just want to go outside.
Then I was like no, I am going,I did it.
(05:35):
It sure doesn't mean it allruns and rolls perfectly,
because it doesn't.
There are days I feel like I amrunning in circles and I am
like, okay, well, we will tryagain tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Right.
You know so well that when youdo do it whether it is your
exercise or your Bible study youknow you are getting something
out of it.
You know that you are one stepcloser to your goal or if you
have already reached your goals,you feel good.
That is where I am at in mylife right now.
I know that if I don't goexercise I am not going to feel
(06:15):
good inside physically as muchas if I didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, for sure.
That is what I was telling themtoo.
I said it is like anything else.
Once you develop thatconsistency and that discipline,
you are going to wonder how didI not do this before?
How was I not getting up in themorning?
How was I coming home from workand just sitting on the sofa
when I could have taken a walk?
That energized me?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, what people I don't think really understand is
that it gives you energy, yeah,once you get there.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I am home worn.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Now, if you keep going, okay, I am going to put
my shoes on, I am just going.
You realize how much better youfeel and all of a sudden you
are breathing the air outsideand you are like, okay, this is
nice, you are energized, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And you and I have trained enough people to know
that People, when they get pastthe two weeks mark for me I've
kind of seen a two week markbecause your body's getting
adjusted to the times, gettingadjusted to the working out,
your body and the soreness andall Something about that two
weeks they start looking for it,craving it, like, oh, I miss my
(07:24):
workout, mm you know?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, I know they need them for me.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I've been exercising my whole life because it's the
only thing my parents knew to dome is exercise her.
So I don't remember not.
But if I go a few days withoutnot, I can see where people are.
Like that third day I don'treally feel that motivation
(07:48):
anymore.
I don't feel all the oxygenstill in my body that's giving
me energy from those days ofworking out and it starts to
fade.
And it's like that with myquiet time too, my time with the
Lord.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Well, and especially during this season and this time
is one thing I was saying iseverybody gets so busy and
they're so tired and so manythings going on and schedules
that are different, with eventsand parties and staying up late,
shopping online, whatever thethings are that you want to go.
You know what?
I don't have to work out today,or you know what?
(08:24):
I'm just gonna eat thatwhatever bag of chips for dinner
because I don't have time tomake a meal, and you just start
sliding and then that just keepsgoing and then, all of a sudden
, you're to January 4th andyou're going.
What happened?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And then you run to the gym.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I feel horrible.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And then it's super crowded in January, because 90%
of people do that, as you and Iknow.
We've witnessed it.
We teach classes, so we see,and right now the classes are
scarce.
So September, once schoolstarts, that class is packed and
then it just starts there.
And it's not the first week inJanuary, because I figured that
(09:06):
one out too.
People are like oh well, excuseyou, I gotta nurse the hangover
or we'll go back to school.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
About January 8th or 9th.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, and it's like that second week and it's just
simply unpacked, and then middleFebruary again, and then it's
like this right before summerand then right before school and
I want people to get into.
I don't want them to be in thatgroup, I want them to be in the
group of.
Sure, I had a bad couple ofdays or a bad couple of weeks,
(09:37):
but I wanna keep rolling, keepmoving.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It just cause you have a bad day doesn't mean you
keep going.
It was a bad day and you moveforward.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You're done Right and I feel like that with my
barking dog and my spirit andall that stuff too Everything.
However, a lot of times, wejust base it on how we feel.
Well, I don't feel like ittoday and like you said about
discipline, that's when you doit anyways.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And every time I've done it, I've never regretted it
.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I know right, or if you go and you don't have the
greatest workout, or whateveryou like, but I did it.
I was here and then I did it,you know.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
So, if you've been finding about like the past
couple of weeks.
We just decided to do thisbarking dog thing and the spirit
lead and all.
I loved your stories and yourvulnerability and your honesty
about what you said, becauseeverything you said, that's
pretty much.
We're all thinking those samethings too.
(10:40):
We all suffer and have thesethoughts and battling right.
So is there any stories oranything you wanna share that
you feel that?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I mean the things I would say, like in what I have
discovered, maybe in the lastweek, is, you know, a lot of
women tell me that I'm aconnector and so when I've been
writing and journaling and kindof seeing my connecting of when
I do, the alert that made methink of connecting and how much
(11:18):
I do love connecting people andconnecting women and just that
I love.
We talked about generosity alittle bit and I feel like I can
be so generous with my time.
You know, if someone needs me,someone wants to do something,
I'm gentle.
But then again I was like butam I really?
(11:40):
Because I kind of pull back oncertain things with time too,
you know?
But I don't know.
I just thought a lot aboutthings like that and connecting
and connecting women.
I actually have another thing,which I'm not sure what it is
yet, but it's another connectinggroup, another way to connect,
(12:04):
and you're gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Is it a surprise?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yes, I'm not telling yet cause, yeah, I can't, yeah,
but you are not, I know it justcame up.
But and again.
So, as I'm having another wayto connect with women, I'm like,
okay, can I do all of this well?
Can I do all these things I'mgetting involved with?
And do it well Because I havesuch a heart's desire to just
(12:30):
pull women together, because Ijust see how much women need it.
It helps and yeah it's just inhow, if we're not intentional in
coming together and connecting,it's just it's not gonna happen
because life is busy and crazy.
And so that's a lot of whatI've been thinking on, and as I
(12:51):
spent time with someoneyesterday and connected and it's
someone new to town andliterally knows no one but her
daughter and it just caused meto think I've lived here 22
years in drip, but then inAustin before that I can't
imagine going somewherecompletely new and not having
(13:14):
someone trying to connect andpull me in, you know, yeah, so
that's kind of a lot of whatI've been sitting with and
thinking about is the connectingpiece, and I love that.
I never saw myself as aconnector and now I do, and I
love that the Lord has gifted mewith that.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Really Isn't that funny, Because I would just
assume that you knew that.
No.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I mean.
Like, of course, carla is aconnector, always I think
because before a lot of times Ilet everything hold me back from
connecting.
There was always an excuse,like the monthly women's thing
here in the home oh, my home, oh, it's so old and it's ugly and
I don't want to clean.
You know a million millionexcuses.
(14:00):
And then the same with thewalking group Well, what day?
Well, how am I gonna what if Ican't go every week?
And it's like just do it, youknow, bring women together,
whoever comes, comes and youjust keep going along and it's.
I've seen the friendshipsthat's formed and the
connections that it's createdand I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, I just want to say thank you so much for just
being a part of that, because Iadmire you.
You motivate me.
Friendships and connection helpme.
You know, when I'm sitting heredoing my journaling, I think
about my friends that arejournaling with me in a way
right, and I'm like, oh, Iwonder what they're getting or
(14:43):
feeling.
And I didn't have that for along time, I just did it by
myself.
It's more enjoyable, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah everything's better together.
I said everything's bettertogether, you know, and when you
can share about it with others,just like it's fun, when you
have like interest or whateverway you can share you and I have
that passion for exercise andnutrition and fitness and women
(15:12):
and then when you can share inthat together and the
conversations together and justlike the journaling and anything
else, it's just, you know itmakes it better.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, for things.
So in this last week, you know,we're not going to come back
together again, it's more oflet's just talk about well, we
are trusted.
That's for next time.
But you know, doing the studyin our barking dog, I loved the
visual, you know, Because it'ssomething so simple.
(15:42):
I've met a lot of people,talked to people that are like I
just don't know how I have timeor I don't know what to do in
the moment.
And in the moment I have avisual of my barking dog and so
I can quickly decipher and do ifyou need scripture.
The scripture came to me in themiddle of all this and we
(16:03):
discussed it even in.
It was Galatians 5.
I mean, the whole chapter isamazing, but it basically breaks
down what is of God and whatisn't of God.
And what is of God is Galatians5, 22, the fruit of the spirit,
which is love, joy, peace,patience, kindness, goodness,
(16:26):
faithfulness, gentleness,self-control, those things.
It's hard, you know, but we'renot perfect, we're humans.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
We're gonna.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
What are those thoughts?
And Jordan and I talked aboutit a little bit of do you have a
bombarding thought that justkind of is always there, you
know, and I know we all do rightUntil we go meet our maker.
And so one of the lessons thatI've learned and tricks that
(17:02):
I've learned is, while you'rejournaling, take that emotion or
the thought like say, aging,right, something I think about
every day, I fight it and wannabe healthy, and all the things
you know.
And so I put that word in acircle and then draw a line and
(17:25):
say, where is that thoughtcoming from?
Well, that thought is comingfrom this.
And where's that coming from?
Draw a line well, it's comingfrom this.
Okay, what does God say aboutthat?
And then I go and I find whatGod says about it and every time
, whether it's finances, carla,whether it's aging, whether it's
(17:50):
being our age and trying tofind a new job, right, All those
doubts, all those insecurities,it goes, you know, right back
to scripture, and I kept hearingJeremiah 2911, jeremiah 2911.
And no matter what thought I had, it went back to that because
(18:12):
he tells us it's his word, hepromises us, he has hope for us
and a future to prosper us, youknow.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It's really made me Digest some of it a little bit
more into my being.
When it's hard to digest, it'shard to fully absorb into your
skin that you're beautiful, orthat you're smart, or that
everything's going to be okay,or he likes me, or she likes me,
(18:45):
whatever those things are, andI tell myself it's because it's
not good for me.
He's got something better.
He's got something better.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I like how you broke that down though, in how you do
it, and arrow to this and rightwhere that came from and arrow
to that right where that camefrom, and then take it to
scripture.
I mean, I think that paintssuch a good vivid picture for
people to understand.
Oh well, I can do that.
(19:17):
I can sit there and write down,because I think sometimes
journaling and doing that timewe make it more difficult than
it ever needs to be.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
It really, we're capable of so much more.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I always say in my classes your mind quits before
your body because your body cango 100 times longer, further,
farther, faster, all of it.
You know that it's this thatkeeps us doing it, and it's the
same thing with this journaling,and I just want to encourage
those out there that we'veidentified the barking dog.
(19:58):
So we did that.
We identified it, we activatedit.
We activated it by doodling,meditating, generosity, going
within, listening to music, allthe things trying to open our
hearts.
And then the third and lastthing is practice.
Practice it, and I'm invitinganyone out there right now to
(20:22):
come practice with us.
Because, we are going tocontinue to do this walk and I
would love to come back somedayand talk about it some more.
But yeah, I'm excited aboutthat and just I feel like it
brought me closer for thebeginners.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, right, it wasn't, and I mean it was.
I loved it.
It was an incredible journeyand it just kind of opened my
eyes to things and I think, likeI said, a majority of it for me
is was going deeper, thinkingmore as I'm doing it and just
(21:01):
allowing it to happen, versusmaking it happen or thinking
this is what it has to look likeor this is what I have to do,
just allowing, you know, thespirit to just take over.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Go with the flow.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Right, yeah, go with the flow yeah.
But I've loved it.
It's been so fun, I know, it'sawesome.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I love you.
I love you.
Thank you so much for doingthis and we'll talk soon.
Ok, back, back, curious to knowhow things have been going,
this whole little experimentthat we're doing.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
So I know we kind of mentioned being generous and I
think me you can take thateither way, you can think of
like you have to do something tobe generous, but I think it can
also mean being generous likewith your time.
I'm trying to be more generouswith my, like my time for people
, and then not like try and bemore generous, but like almost
(21:57):
like a self thing, like tryingto be mindful.
I think I give others a lot ofmy time rather than giving
myself time.
So I'm trying to be generous tomyself.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
That's important.
I seem to be do that a lot andI wear myself out and then I
lose it, yeah.
And then I'm trying to putmyself, be more generous and
being mindful about others andbeing in their shoes, like why
are they reacting this way?
And trying to be mindful abouttheir reaction, or maybe my
(22:30):
whole thing of why I'mfrustrated is not that big of a
deal.
Like, think about what, whythey're frustrated, yeah, or
they're acting the way they areand be just more mindful and
generous with my I guess myemotion for others, yeah, Like
not taking it personal or when Ilook back and go, I cannot
(22:50):
believe I was so upset for likea whole day Over that and that
wasn't even what it was Right,yeah.
So I'm trying to be moregenerous of others, like be
mindful, almost, of othersemotions, because we can all, I
think, get wrapped up in our ownworld, which I think can be a
(23:11):
good thing in certain things,and also a bad thing is that we
don't think about maybe thisperson that walked into the shop
that I work at had a horribleday and they're just going to be
not so nice because they've hada horrible, like you don't know
their personal life.
So just be more generous andmindful of you.
Don't need to react becausethey're reacting.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, so one of the things that we were talking
about, and you know, like thisweek, and wrapping it all up, it
kind of came down toidentifying it.
We identified it and I like thevisual that we did because it's
a lot quicker for me and thenthe second part is activated,
(23:57):
and we activated it by goingwithin, journaling, doodling,
seeing if we're generous,because that's going to open
your heart.
You know, one of the scripturesthat came to me was love covers
a multitude of sins andgenerous is love.
And so when we open ourselves,up to our heart, because giving,
(24:18):
you know that's a sacrifice.
And so one of the things I toldCarla that I did was we've
talked about over the past threeweeks of the thoughts in the
Barking Dog, and I think maybeyou would agree with me that you
have found, like maybe you havea certain thought that keeps
kind of coming back around everyone again.
(24:41):
And so what I did was I putthat thought and circled it and
then drew a line and was likewell, where's that thought
coming from?
Right, it's the jing.
You know well, why am I upset.
Where's that thought comingfrom?
And then I write it and then Icircle it Where's that coming
from A line, write it, circle it.
(25:01):
And then I stopped and I waslike what does God say about
that?
What does God say about thosecircles?
I'm going to go to the Bible andall weeks Galatians 5 has been
coming up over and over again,and so I look at it and it
actually is scripture that tellsyou everything that spirit is
not, and it tells you everythingthat spirit is.
(25:23):
And so, if I'm having a hardtime deciding, you know if this
is the right way or if it's not.
What does God say about it?
And Galatians 5, 25, says sincewe are living by the spirit,
let us follow the spiritsleading in every part of our
lives.
That's what we're doing.
And so then, irene, well, whatis spirit?
(25:45):
How do you recognize it?
It's the fruit of the spirit,which is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control.
Like I read those words and I'mjust like poor me, because it's
a battle.
It's a battle, but I know thatspirit knows that we're trying,
(26:10):
and every time we I try, I know.
And then, when you guys tell meyour stories, it blesses me
because I feel like God's goingto bless you a hundredfold just
for taking the steps.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Right, yeah, just being.
I think what we look, we lookback on, were like our most
number one enemy, in a way.
And I took class last Decemberand it was just like you can be
upset about something in yourlife, is something upset, see,
for 30 minutes and then you haveto get up, dust yourself off
and keep going because you can'tlet whatever just happened ruin
(26:49):
your week, because life goes onand I think that it just like
looking back on, like all thetime that I wasted on, or just
like what we do waste betteringourselves and trying to look in
our spirit and ourselves andfixing the problem, or just like
reflecting.
I think we do, we can all getwrapped up in that and it's not
(27:10):
like a thing you can just fixright away.
Of course you have to look backand take a second and just
relax, yeah, and look back aboutwhat, what, why am I being like
this, so so reactive?
Why?
Why am I having these thoughtsof you know, back to like what
you said, like the circling,like going back and seeing, like
(27:31):
just down the line.
It's almost like reading thebook backwards, like why are we
exactly being like that?
And then you just have to keepgoing and look to God, like what
you were saying, on the spiritof what it's guiding you for the
future, rather than look backon the past.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Right, that's right, because that's good.
Jordan, I'm like, oh my god,tell me you know what you're
saying that's good.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
I was like.
I'll explain.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I'm also listening to the cat dig in the trash can in
the living room right now.
So you've got 30 minutes andyou've got 30 minutes.
You got to make it real andit's got to be 30 to 60 seconds
long and all we're telling youis the title of it is pretty
(28:17):
much.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
And so Having my daily panic attack, of course,
because that's all it takes issomething like that to happen.
And then I'm like, what am Igonna do?
And then I'm all over the place, I'm pacing, walking in and out
, and then I'm like, why am Idoing this?
This is so silly.
Just calm down.
You're so felt.
Calm down, take your breath,lever my blood pressure, got my
(28:43):
pen Went and you know what Istarted writing.
I'm supposed to do this and Ihave no idea what I'm doing.
I don't know what I'm writing,so I'm just doodling by moving
my hand and writing these words.
I kid you not, 45 second poemflows out of my hand.
It was amazing.
I wish.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I could do that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
How did that?
I don't do that.
I mean, I like poems and I'vewritten poems before, but I'm
not like poem writer.
I got a book or anything kindof thing, you know.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
So I sent it to my friend Pauline.
You know, she's that countryWestern singer songwriter.
I was like what do you thinkabout that?
And she was like it's terrificif you really wrote that.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
You're like girl, I did.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Well, he wrote it right.
Yeah, Because that's the onlything I can say.
How did that?
How was I rhyming words likethose words together?
That's not me.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
So was it relative to what you were freaking out
about or just like relative tothe situation?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I wrote the 30 to 60 second reel for my thing, the
job that was a poem that rhymedWow.
I was like no way I was,because I only had 30 minutes.
I mean, you know, the kind ofpressure though I put on myself
is there's no way I can do thatin 30 minutes.
I'm going to need like 24 hoursto like meditate and soak it in
(30:09):
and get off the rate of juicesrolling and flowing.
And maybe I could ask London,or maybe I need to research this
or what's that.
Pull, pull, because I'm notcapable of it.
That's what I'm thinking.
That's why I'm panicking.
I can't do it.
I'm not going to be able to doit, I'm not going to get the job
, I'm not going to give moremoney for my family and then
we're going to die.
There's my trail, right.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
That's.
I went through somewhat asimilar thing yesterday Not like
that, like, not similar,similar, but like an adult
scenario where we freakourselves out more than we need
to is that I had an injury, asyou know, in July, and while
that injury was happening, I'mgoing to the emergency room the
whole time.
I'm like how am I going to payfor this?
(30:54):
I can't even pay for this,there's no way.
Well, I'm not, I should not begoing as my foot is stuck in my
shoe and I heard it go like snap.
I'm like, oh no, I'm, I can'tafford it.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I saw that leg, that leg broke.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Yeah, like so, you know, months later than all the
stuff comes in and I get allthese paperwork of adult bills
and I'm like, how am I going topay for this?
Like you know, I shouldn't have.
I shouldn't have booked avacation, I shouldn't have done
this.
I know what?
Like you know, you just go downthat hole and of course it's
like 10 o'clock at night and I'mlike why do I freak myself up
Like 10 and then you can't sleep, yeah, so like stomachs and
(31:30):
knots.
Yeah, I'm like, you know, I'mgonna go shower.
I took a shower, turn on thehot, the water super hot, and
yeah, calm down.
And then I talked about it withNathan and then he made me feel
better.
You know what we can do, whatwe, what the steps we need to
start taking towards that,rather than like in the moment,
there's nothing I can do rightnow.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Exactly Calm down, not one thing.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Nope, but it's just.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
We freak ourselves out, I think so much, we're so
quick to jump down that, thatwhole line, yeah, instead of
there's always a solution.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah, it's, it's.
There's no reason for us to gofrom like it's zero to 10.
Like you're going like this,where you're fine, and then like
it's like an inconvenience.
And you're like, nope, mylife's done.
Yeah, it's worse day ever.
And then it's just like we getso caught up in that rather than
(32:22):
stepping back, taking a moment,breathing, writing down your
thoughts or taking a shower ordoing what you need to do to
like a reset.
And then just start writing downor thinking or taking that step
what can you do first?
And you sat down and you letyour pen go and that's what that
(32:42):
first step was and you did whatyou needed to do.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
And then I'm putting my brain up, right, yeah, it's
opening my brain up to moreinformation and all this.
And then he gave me the wordsand so I can say, yeah, you know
another story.
I wrote down that.
I haven't told anyone this, butit reminded me.
God reminded me of the storyearlier.
You know, starting outvoiceover and there's all these
(33:09):
things you have to do.
We got to do it, right, you gotto do all these auditions and
get them in.
There's these things.
And then I had a friend comealong and say can you do me a
favor?
I have this nonprofitorganization and I would love
for you to come out on theweekend, early Saturday morning,
and I would like for you to dothe announcements and you can
even pre-record it, play itwhile you're there, and she's a
(33:30):
good friend of mine.
So of course I was.
I was wanting to do it, howevernot getting paid for it.
I know that I want to begenerous with that, something
really want to do, but there isthat part of me that I'm like,
but I'm not getting paid for it.
Do you know what I mean?
Like I really want to do this.
Is this really?
(33:50):
And I felt spirit.
Tell me follow my lead, becauseyou're doing this out of the
kindness and the love for thisnonprofit for your friend.
I see you and I have suchexciting feeling about it.
Well, that's how I met theradio guy who ended up giving me
my radio jobs.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Yeah, sometimes it just leads to one thing.
And for real estate, like forleases, they don't get me much,
not a lot for leases.
But, as you know, time's goneon and I've had my license for
two years now.
I've realized that it's notabout you doing the moment.
Sometimes it's connections thatyou make during that moment.
(34:32):
So there's been two like yearsnow where I have clients that
you know give referrals, or youmeet someone in that scenario,
or it just takes one person tomake you feel special.
It takes a lot of people thatyou don't.
You have to do a lot of thingsyou don't want to do first
before it gets that person.
But you know, of course, anonprofit and like an
organization.
(34:52):
That's awesome that you've gotto do that for your friend.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
And then you also got something you know like met
someone with that I would havenever, I mean you wouldn't have
met him If you didn't do that.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
and not saying like you wouldn't have if he did or
didn't, but just like the factthat you trusted yourself and
your instinct of you know Ishould do this.
And then it almost like gaveback to you and it paid off for
just taking a step back.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah, well, thank you so much for doing this, yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I can give you a story which I mean.
No, no one can convince me thatthis, and I don't even know
where this came from.
But the whole Redbird thing islike have you heard this?
Like when a Redbird comes, it'slike it's someone that's passed
.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah, like, specifically like in my picture,
my profile I have what lookslike an ice cream cone, but it's
really flowers, and what isapparently supposed to be the
cherry is a red cardinal in myprofile.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Yes, yeah, yeah, ok, so anytime I would just see them
, I'd be like, oh, maybe that'smy grandma, or maybe that's
Carrie's dad or you know I.
But I didn't know, like therewas nothing saying that it was a
certain person for sure or thatyou know, but there was.
So I had a client who was anelderly couple that was.
(36:08):
I had their house listed.
We were in the process ofpurchasing their new house.
I've become really close withthis lady, like adored her, and
she you were selling their house.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah, so were you showing a house or were you
selling a house?
I?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
had.
I had their house listed and Iwas representing them as buyers
on another house.
Ok, so I had been working withthem on their house, which was
like they were essentiallyselling their home so that they
their son and his wife weremoving to Texas and they were
going to buy one like really bigproperty and like with a back
(36:48):
house on it or something and sothat they would kind of like
kind of live together but on thesame property.
She was so excited to be likedoing this for her son and like
a couple of Saturdays I wentover and had coffee with her,
like there was.
We had built a relationshipoutside of just showing houses
and but she was pretty stressedabout some things and she ended
(37:10):
up having a heart attack anddying in the process of this.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
And it was literally so sad, like I mean just it was
sad for many reasons Her husbandended up having to go into he
had some dementia, so then hehad to go into like a care unit
rather than living with his wifeand change things for her son
and all those stuff.
Anyway, the day I was I wasdriving there to get to their
(37:37):
house that I had listed it soldand I was going to pick up the
sign out of the yard and to getto their house.
Like you're just kind ofdriving down like a wooded road
first, like a tree, heavily tree, and I'm just driving along and
this I mean I could almost crylike even still, this red bird
(37:57):
just flew right in front of mycar and I'm like no freaking way
, like I know that was her, Iknow it was like yeah, I mean,
if I'm crazy, I'm crazy and Idon't care.
I like when you know thatyou've heard something or felt
something or seen something, soI would never dispute what you
(38:19):
say, you've experienced or heard, and even if I haven't heard it
in the same way yeah that makessense.
But I do know what it feels liketo feel someone's presence, or
or it's like to me I thinkthere's the term God week Like
it's, it's it's God's way ofrevealing to you.
Like I think he thinks that heknows those relationships were
(38:40):
special and he knows there'sit's hard to to release fully
and like, and he, I think he,gives us those sweet moments or
those you know, whether it comesdirectly to you or from through
someone else, to just like,confirm the feelings that are
there in the relationship.
And you know, I don't know I'mnot going to act like I know how
(39:01):
to explain it or that I'm notlike a medium or yeah, or why
would you just?
Speaker 1 (39:09):
I mean, in that split second moment, you don't have
time to decide.
I couldn't have said that youthought it was her or not.
Oh, there's a cardinal.
I remember a story.
I wonder if, oh, this, I meanso many things are happening and
you're driving, and you'regoing, and you're picking this
up, and then this bird happensand you're just like oh, my God,
(39:30):
it's like it's instant.
You just know.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah, it's instant.
You couldn't concoct the storybecause it yeah, it's too Right
why?
Speaker 1 (39:39):
So I honestly, if I had made, the story of it.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
The story up, I would .
That was three years ago.
I couldn't remember it today.
You know what I'm saying.
Like I don't have that good ofa memory of like a lie or a man.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yeah, exactly, it was the way that it made you feel
yeah, you know we're goingthrough that whole thing.
You know, when he was gettingback and he was thinking all the
silly things that the youngkids do at that time.
And then security, especiallylike, oh my God, was there
really good thing?
Speaker 2 (40:10):
No way.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I said Miles, no one cares.
Yeah, I hate to tell you this,but no one cares they don't.
And people take gap years andpeople go back to school and
leave and come back to school.
No one's tracking you makingsure.
Oh yeah, what we think in ourheads.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Here's real proof.
If you want to give a niceexample of people don't care or
notice half the time, even onsocial media, I can't tell you
for probably at least two orthree years that I was putting
out, you know, being a realtor,like I would make posts of this
house, I had listed this house,I had sold like blah, blah, blah
(40:54):
.
There's stuff I mean in my mind.
The whole world surely knowsI'm a realtor because it's out
there to see.
I would have people be like Ididn't know you were in real
estate and I'm like really sogood or bad, whatever it is,
people don't really know whatyou're doing Honestly,
(41:14):
especially me.
Even I have to track you down.
What is she?
What is?
that again, but yeah.
No, it's so wild, Go have y'all.
Has your family seen the moviethe Blind?
It's the movie about.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Write that down.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Yeah, phil Robertson, the Duck Dynasty guy and his
wife.
No, I have it, but I've heardabout it.
Go see it and take your kid.
My girls like even they lovedit and it's so like it just
leaves you, like my kids leftfeeling the same way I did of
like just literally all you wantis your home and your family
(41:59):
and your like, your peace andlike not that we can't strive
for things.
I'm not saying that Likeobviously it's fine we can have
goals and dreams and whatever,but it just it minimizes how you
feel about goals and dreams andelevates how you feel about
it's just a good visual, aboutlike what's important.
(42:20):
It's just so sweet and likegood, I can't rent it.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
I have to go to the movie theater.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
It actually might be streaming now.
Okay, the Blind.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Uh-huh, yeah, look for it.
And you said Duck Dynasty, soit's like the family or it's
about them.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
It's true story.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Oh, it is.
Yeah, don't tell me anymore.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Okay, yeah, I'm a little like I've enjoyed being
home and getting to be creativeand doing some of this stuff.
I'm thankful I get to work formyself, I'm all of those things.
But it's also nice to be likehere's a task, you completed it,
you get paid for it and itfeels productive.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
And.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
I'm like I needed that, Like I don't have to have
it constantly, but I needed aglimpse of it so that I can feel
like inspiration to keep going.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Well, and the chasing of the jobs?
Yeah, I'm worn out.
I'm worn out, well.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
I'm chasing.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Chase.
But when you get one and youfeel consistency, yes, makes you
motivated.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
Consistency You're doing like equals peace.
I feel like, in a way, likeit's just.
When everything is constantly aroller coaster and that's how
real estate was too I was likeI'm not made for this.
I need yeah, I will work sohard and I will do the chase and
I will work off the clock hours, whatever.
(43:48):
It's not that, it's just that Ialso need some stability and
some To feel.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Like what I'm doing.
It matters and makes a lick ofdifference, you know.
Yeah, instead of just like youknow I mean actually, carrie I'm
like, honestly, I enjoycleaning my house and unloading
my dishwasher because it's likeI know what I accomplished.
Yeah, yeah, my house was clean.
Like, yeah, I did something andI got a result Right, so all
(44:16):
right.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
Have a good one, love you, love you too.
I have a question for you.
You are so busy with all thethings that you do and you work
out, you do your study, you goto the gym, you go on walks, you
have these groups of women, youdo your health coaching and you
are feeding into a lot ofpeople how do you find your time
(00:32):
to be quiet, to meditate, to dothe grounding thing?
How do you do that?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I am not going to say that I always do it well,
because I was even thinkingtoday as I was rushing around
downstairs and I like knockedsomething over and I literally
told myself out loud Carla, slowdown, you have got to slow down
, this has got to stop.
I move at such a fast paceanyway, but it is waking up
(01:05):
early and it is going straightfrom there and it is either
doing my journaling quiet timeearly and then to the gym, or
opposite.
I knock out the gym and I comehome and then chill for a little
bit and do that.
I think I like that better.
This morning I flipped it, justdidn't feel the same.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
It didn't feel right.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I do always like the darker quiet of the morning, and
especially when I haveChristmas lights, which I don't
have up yet, but inside, where Icome, plug a man, it just feels
good.
If I go to the gym first, then Ilose that, because by the time
(01:48):
I get home it will be likeAnyway, it is that and then my
walking is either squeezed inright after that because it is
not a long walk, it is to takethe dogs and get out, or it is
broken up a couple of times or Ido it later.
I did a very short one thismorning and I will take the dogs
out a little bit because itjust feels good to me to get out
(02:11):
.
That is where, like I said, Islow down and I walk and I just
have that peace and then I comeback and I do more.
The walking group it is one daya week.
I put a post out and then I amdone.
The monthly women's group thereis not that much to it outside
(02:32):
of cultivating relationships.
From that, then probably thepodcasting is the most time
consuming, and the coaching,because I do have a handful of
coaching clients.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
If someone came to you and was like I just don't
have a routine like that.
I am not like that, carla, whatmotivates you?
I am like you.
I think about a lot of peoplethat don't have that.
I was kind of asking myselfthese questions earlier, just
whatever that I had asked youbecause you seem organized.
(03:11):
Or if someone says I am notorganized, do people ask you
that in your groups of women,like how?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It is funny that you are asking this, because last
night when I did a Zoom coachingcall and it is not like I do a
monthly membership and that isnot included I just felt like,
hey, my clients need some timeto ask me questions.
I scheduled an hour for themjust to hop on.
There was things like that.
(03:41):
I just don't know how I workall day.
I get home and I don't feellike working out In the morning.
I don't.
It was a lot of thatconversation.
I don't feel motivated.
That was one of the biggestwords.
That is one of the things thatI have recognized lately is, if
we wait for motivation, thereare so many times it is not
(04:04):
happening.
It is discipline, it is creatingthat discipline and committing
to it and consistency.
When we were talking last night, that was a big thing.
That came up was consistencyand discipline and committed.
That is just.
I know where I am at.
(04:26):
If I don't do that, things justdon't roll well for me.
If I am disciplined in myworking out and I am disciplined
in my time to be quiet anddisciplined in my walking, and
discipline and focusing which iswhere I probably have the
hardest time is when I have tosit there and focus on writing
(04:50):
out my show notes, my podcaststuff, my client stuff, sending
out emails without trying tocheck my phone or distract
myself because I might want tobe doing something else.
That is not.
The little details are notnecessarily the fun part.
I know it has to be done.
That is kind of what I say.
It is discipline.
(05:11):
There is morning.
I was not that motivated to goto the gym.
I found after I sat and I hadmy coffee and I did my quiet
time, the sun was coming up.
It was getting pretty.
We have not seen sunshine in afew days.
I was like I don't want to go,I just want to go outside.
Then I was like no, I am going,I did it.
(05:35):
It sure doesn't mean it allruns and rolls perfectly,
because it doesn't.
There are days I feel like I amrunning in circles and I am
like, okay, well, we will tryagain tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Right.
You know so well that when youdo do it whether it is your
exercise or your Bible study youknow you are getting something
out of it.
You know that you are one stepcloser to your goal or if you
have already reached your goals,you feel good.
That is where I am at in mylife right now.
I know that if I don't goexercise I am not going to feel
(06:15):
good inside physically as muchas if I didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, for sure.
That is what I was telling themtoo.
I said it is like anything else.
Once you develop thatconsistency and that discipline,
you are going to wonder how didI not do this before?
How was I not getting up in themorning?
How was I coming home from workand just sitting on the sofa
when I could have taken a walk?
That energized me?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, what people I don't think really understand is
that it gives you energy, yeah,once you get there.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I am home worn.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Now, if you keep going, okay, I am going to put
my shoes on, I am just going.
You realize how much better youfeel and all of a sudden you
are breathing the air outsideand you are like, okay, this is
nice, you are energized, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And you and I have trained enough people to know
that People, when they get pastthe two weeks mark for me I've
kind of seen a two week markbecause your body's getting
adjusted to the times, gettingadjusted to the working out,
your body and the soreness andall Something about that two
weeks they start looking for it,craving it, like, oh, I miss my
(07:24):
workout, mm you know?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, I know they need them for me.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I've been exercising my whole life because it's the
only thing my parents knew to dome is exercise her.
So I don't remember not.
But if I go a few days withoutnot, I can see where people are.
Like that third day I don'treally feel that motivation
(07:48):
anymore.
I don't feel all the oxygenstill in my body that's giving
me energy from those days ofworking out and it starts to
fade.
And it's like that with myquiet time too, my time with the
Lord.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Well, and especially during this season and this time
is one thing I was saying iseverybody gets so busy and
they're so tired and so manythings going on and schedules
that are different, with eventsand parties and staying up late,
shopping online, whatever thethings are that you want to go.
You know what?
I don't have to work out today,or you know what?
(08:24):
I'm just gonna eat thatwhatever bag of chips for dinner
because I don't have time tomake a meal, and you just start
sliding and then that just keepsgoing and then, all of a sudden
, you're to January 4th andyou're going.
What happened?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And then you run to the gym.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I feel horrible.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And then it's super crowded in January, because 90%
of people do that, as you and Iknow.
We've witnessed it.
We teach classes, so we see,and right now the classes are
scarce.
So September, once schoolstarts, that class is packed and
then it just starts there.
And it's not the first week inJanuary, because I figured that
(09:06):
one out too.
People are like oh well, excuseyou, I gotta nurse the hangover
or we'll go back to school.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
About January 8th or 9th.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, and it's like that second week and it's just
simply unpacked, and then middleFebruary again, and then it's
like this right before summerand then right before school and
I want people to get into.
I don't want them to be in thatgroup, I want them to be in the
group of.
Sure, I had a bad couple ofdays or a bad couple of weeks,
(09:37):
but I wanna keep rolling, keepmoving.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It just cause you have a bad day doesn't mean you
keep going.
It was a bad day and you moveforward.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You're done Right and I feel like that with my
barking dog and my spirit andall that stuff too Everything.
However, a lot of times, wejust base it on how we feel.
Well, I don't feel like ittoday and like you said about
discipline, that's when you doit anyways.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And every time I've done it, I've never regretted it
.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I know right, or if you go and you don't have the
greatest workout, or whateveryou like, but I did it.
I was here and then I did it,you know.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
So, if you've been finding about like the past
couple of weeks.
We just decided to do thisbarking dog thing and the spirit
lead and all.
I loved your stories and yourvulnerability and your honesty
about what you said, becauseeverything you said, that's
pretty much.
We're all thinking those samethings too.
(10:40):
We all suffer and have thesethoughts and battling right.
So is there any stories oranything you wanna share that
you feel that?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I mean the things I would say, like in what I have
discovered, maybe in the lastweek, is, you know, a lot of
women tell me that I'm aconnector and so when I've been
writing and journaling and kindof seeing my connecting of when
I do, the alert that made methink of connecting and how much
(11:18):
I do love connecting people andconnecting women and just that
I love.
We talked about generosity alittle bit and I feel like I can
be so generous with my time.
You know, if someone needs me,someone wants to do something,
I'm gentle.
But then again I was like butam I really?
(11:40):
Because I kind of pull back oncertain things with time too,
you know?
But I don't know.
I just thought a lot aboutthings like that and connecting
and connecting women.
I actually have another thing,which I'm not sure what it is
yet, but it's another connectinggroup, another way to connect,
(12:04):
and you're gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Is it a surprise?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yes, I'm not telling yet cause, yeah, I can't, yeah,
but you are not, I know it justcame up.
But and again.
So, as I'm having another wayto connect with women, I'm like,
okay, can I do all of this well?
Can I do all these things I'mgetting involved with?
And do it well Because I havesuch a heart's desire to just
(12:30):
pull women together, because Ijust see how much women need it.
It helps and yeah it's just inhow, if we're not intentional in
coming together and connecting,it's just it's not gonna happen
because life is busy and crazy.
And so that's a lot of whatI've been thinking on, and as I
(12:51):
spent time with someoneyesterday and connected and it's
someone new to town andliterally knows no one but her
daughter and it just caused meto think I've lived here 22
years in drip, but then inAustin before that I can't
imagine going somewherecompletely new and not having
(13:14):
someone trying to connect andpull me in, you know, yeah, so
that's kind of a lot of whatI've been sitting with and
thinking about is the connectingpiece, and I love that.
I never saw myself as aconnector and now I do, and I
love that the Lord has gifted mewith that.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Really Isn't that funny, Because I would just
assume that you knew that.
No.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I mean.
Like, of course, carla is aconnector, always I think
because before a lot of times Ilet everything hold me back from
connecting.
There was always an excuse,like the monthly women's thing
here in the home oh, my home, oh, it's so old and it's ugly and
I don't want to clean.
You know a million millionexcuses.
(14:00):
And then the same with thewalking group Well, what day?
Well, how am I gonna what if Ican't go every week?
And it's like just do it, youknow, bring women together,
whoever comes, comes and youjust keep going along and it's.
I've seen the friendshipsthat's formed and the
connections that it's createdand I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, I just want to say thank you so much for just
being a part of that, because Iadmire you.
You motivate me.
Friendships and connection helpme.
You know, when I'm sitting heredoing my journaling, I think
about my friends that arejournaling with me in a way
right, and I'm like, oh, Iwonder what they're getting or
(14:43):
feeling.
And I didn't have that for along time, I just did it by
myself.
It's more enjoyable, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah everything's better together.
I said everything's bettertogether, you know, and when you
can share about it with others,just like it's fun, when you
have like interest or whateverway you can share you and I have
that passion for exercise andnutrition and fitness and women
(15:12):
and then when you can share inthat together and the
conversations together and justlike the journaling and anything
else, it's just, you know itmakes it better.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, for things.
So in this last week, you know,we're not going to come back
together again, it's more oflet's just talk about well, we
are trusted.
That's for next time.
But you know, doing the studyin our barking dog, I loved the
visual, you know, Because it'ssomething so simple.
(15:42):
I've met a lot of people,talked to people that are like I
just don't know how I have timeor I don't know what to do in
the moment.
And in the moment I have avisual of my barking dog and so
I can quickly decipher and do ifyou need scripture.
The scripture came to me in themiddle of all this and we
(16:03):
discussed it even in.
It was Galatians 5.
I mean, the whole chapter isamazing, but it basically breaks
down what is of God and whatisn't of God.
And what is of God is Galatians5, 22, the fruit of the spirit,
which is love, joy, peace,patience, kindness, goodness,
(16:26):
faithfulness, gentleness,self-control, those things.
It's hard, you know, but we'renot perfect, we're humans.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
We're gonna.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
What are those thoughts?
And Jordan and I talked aboutit a little bit of do you have a
bombarding thought that justkind of is always there, you
know, and I know we all do rightUntil we go meet our maker.
And so one of the lessons thatI've learned and tricks that
(17:02):
I've learned is, while you'rejournaling, take that emotion or
the thought like say, aging,right, something I think about
every day, I fight it and wannabe healthy, and all the things
you know.
And so I put that word in acircle and then draw a line and
(17:25):
say, where is that thoughtcoming from?
Well, that thought is comingfrom this.
And where's that coming from?
Draw a line well, it's comingfrom this.
Okay, what does God say aboutthat?
And then I go and I find whatGod says about it and every time
, whether it's finances, carla,whether it's aging, whether it's
(17:50):
being our age and trying tofind a new job, right, All those
doubts, all those insecurities,it goes, you know, right back
to scripture, and I kept hearingJeremiah 2911, jeremiah 2911.
And no matter what thought I had, it went back to that because
(18:12):
he tells us it's his word, hepromises us, he has hope for us
and a future to prosper us, youknow.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It's really made me Digest some of it a little bit
more into my being.
When it's hard to digest, it'shard to fully absorb into your
skin that you're beautiful, orthat you're smart, or that
everything's going to be okay,or he likes me, or she likes me,
(18:45):
whatever those things are, andI tell myself it's because it's
not good for me.
He's got something better.
He's got something better.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I like how you broke that down though, in how you do
it, and arrow to this and rightwhere that came from and arrow
to that right where that camefrom, and then take it to
scripture.
I mean, I think that paintssuch a good vivid picture for
people to understand.
Oh well, I can do that.
(19:17):
I can sit there and write down,because I think sometimes
journaling and doing that timewe make it more difficult than
it ever needs to be.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
It really, we're capable of so much more.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I always say in my classes your mind quits before
your body because your body cango 100 times longer, further,
farther, faster, all of it.
You know that it's this thatkeeps us doing it, and it's the
same thing with this journaling,and I just want to encourage
those out there that we'veidentified the barking dog.
(19:58):
So we did that.
We identified it, we activatedit.
We activated it by doodling,meditating, generosity, going
within, listening to music, allthe things trying to open our
hearts.
And then the third and lastthing is practice.
Practice it, and I'm invitinganyone out there right now to
(20:22):
come practice with us.
Because, we are going tocontinue to do this walk and I
would love to come back somedayand talk about it some more.
But yeah, I'm excited aboutthat and just I feel like it
brought me closer for thebeginners.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, right, it wasn't, and I mean it was.
I loved it.
It was an incredible journeyand it just kind of opened my
eyes to things and I think, likeI said, a majority of it for me
is was going deeper, thinkingmore as I'm doing it and just
(21:01):
allowing it to happen, versusmaking it happen or thinking
this is what it has to look likeor this is what I have to do,
just allowing, you know, thespirit to just take over.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Go with the flow.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Right, yeah, go with the flow yeah.
But I've loved it.
It's been so fun, I know, it'sawesome.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I love you.
I love you.
Thank you so much for doingthis and we'll talk soon.
Ok, back, back, curious to knowhow things have been going,
this whole little experimentthat we're doing.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
So I know we kind of mentioned being generous and I
think me you can take thateither way, you can think of
like you have to do something tobe generous, but I think it can
also mean being generous likewith your time.
I'm trying to be more generouswith my, like my time for people
, and then not like try and bemore generous, but like almost
(21:57):
like a self thing, like tryingto be mindful.
I think I give others a lot ofmy time rather than giving
myself time.
So I'm trying to be generous tomyself.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
That's important.
I seem to be do that a lot andI wear myself out and then I
lose it, yeah.
And then I'm trying to putmyself, be more generous and
being mindful about others andbeing in their shoes, like why
are they reacting this way?
And trying to be mindful abouttheir reaction, or maybe my
(22:30):
whole thing of why I'mfrustrated is not that big of a
deal.
Like, think about what, whythey're frustrated, yeah, or
they're acting the way they areand be just more mindful and
generous with my I guess myemotion for others, yeah, Like
not taking it personal or when Ilook back and go, I cannot
(22:50):
believe I was so upset for likea whole day Over that and that
wasn't even what it was Right,yeah.
So I'm trying to be moregenerous of others, like be
mindful, almost, of othersemotions, because we can all, I
think, get wrapped up in our ownworld, which I think can be a
(23:11):
good thing in certain things,and also a bad thing is that we
don't think about maybe thisperson that walked into the shop
that I work at had a horribleday and they're just going to be
not so nice because they've hada horrible, like you don't know
their personal life.
So just be more generous andmindful of you.
Don't need to react becausethey're reacting.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, so one of the things that we were talking
about, and you know, like thisweek, and wrapping it all up, it
kind of came down toidentifying it.
We identified it and I like thevisual that we did because it's
a lot quicker for me and thenthe second part is activated,
(23:57):
and we activated it by goingwithin, journaling, doodling,
seeing if we're generous,because that's going to open
your heart.
You know, one of the scripturesthat came to me was love covers
a multitude of sins andgenerous is love.
And so when we open ourselves,up to our heart, because giving,
(24:18):
you know that's a sacrifice.
And so one of the things I toldCarla that I did was we've
talked about over the past threeweeks of the thoughts in the
Barking Dog, and I think maybeyou would agree with me that you
have found, like maybe you havea certain thought that keeps
kind of coming back around everyone again.
(24:41):
And so what I did was I putthat thought and circled it and
then drew a line and was likewell, where's that thought
coming from?
Right, it's the jing.
You know well, why am I upset.
Where's that thought comingfrom?
And then I write it and then Icircle it Where's that coming
from A line, write it, circle it.
(25:01):
And then I stopped and I waslike what does God say about
that?
What does God say about thosecircles?
I'm going to go to the Bible andall weeks Galatians 5 has been
coming up over and over again,and so I look at it and it
actually is scripture that tellsyou everything that spirit is
not, and it tells you everythingthat spirit is.
(25:23):
And so, if I'm having a hardtime deciding, you know if this
is the right way or if it's not.
What does God say about it?
And Galatians 5, 25, says sincewe are living by the spirit,
let us follow the spiritsleading in every part of our
lives.
That's what we're doing.
And so then, irene, well, whatis spirit?
(25:45):
How do you recognize it?
It's the fruit of the spirit,which is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control.
Like I read those words and I'mjust like poor me, because it's
a battle.
It's a battle, but I know thatspirit knows that we're trying,
(26:10):
and every time we I try, I know.
And then, when you guys tell meyour stories, it blesses me
because I feel like God's goingto bless you a hundredfold just
for taking the steps.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Right, yeah, just being.
I think what we look, we lookback on, were like our most
number one enemy, in a way.
And I took class last Decemberand it was just like you can be
upset about something in yourlife, is something upset, see,
for 30 minutes and then you haveto get up, dust yourself off
and keep going because you can'tlet whatever just happened ruin
(26:49):
your week, because life goes onand I think that it just like
looking back on, like all thetime that I wasted on, or just
like what we do waste betteringourselves and trying to look in
our spirit and ourselves andfixing the problem, or just like
reflecting.
I think we do, we can all getwrapped up in that and it's not
(27:10):
like a thing you can just fixright away.
Of course you have to look backand take a second and just
relax, yeah, and look back aboutwhat, what, why am I being like
this, so so reactive?
Why?
Why am I having these thoughtsof you know, back to like what
you said, like the circling,like going back and seeing, like
(27:31):
just down the line.
It's almost like reading thebook backwards, like why are we
exactly being like that?
And then you just have to keepgoing and look to God, like what
you were saying, on the spiritof what it's guiding you for the
future, rather than look backon the past.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Right, that's right, because that's good.
Jordan, I'm like, oh my god,tell me you know what you're
saying that's good.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
I was like.
I'll explain.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I'm also listening to the cat dig in the trash can in
the living room right now.
So you've got 30 minutes andyou've got 30 minutes.
You got to make it real andit's got to be 30 to 60 seconds
long and all we're telling youis the title of it is pretty
(28:17):
much.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
And so Having my daily panic attack, of course,
because that's all it takes issomething like that to happen.
And then I'm like, what am Igonna do?
And then I'm all over the place, I'm pacing, walking in and out
, and then I'm like, why am Idoing this?
This is so silly.
Just calm down.
You're so felt.
Calm down, take your breath,lever my blood pressure, got my
(28:43):
pen Went and you know what Istarted writing.
I'm supposed to do this and Ihave no idea what I'm doing.
I don't know what I'm writing,so I'm just doodling by moving
my hand and writing these words.
I kid you not, 45 second poemflows out of my hand.
It was amazing.
I wish.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I could do that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
How did that?
I don't do that.
I mean, I like poems and I'vewritten poems before, but I'm
not like poem writer.
I got a book or anything kindof thing, you know.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
So I sent it to my friend Pauline.
You know, she's that countryWestern singer songwriter.
I was like what do you thinkabout that?
And she was like it's terrificif you really wrote that.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
You're like girl, I did.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Well, he wrote it right.
Yeah, Because that's the onlything I can say.
How did that?
How was I rhyming words likethose words together?
That's not me.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
So was it relative to what you were freaking out
about or just like relative tothe situation?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I wrote the 30 to 60 second reel for my thing, the
job that was a poem that rhymedWow.
I was like no way I was,because I only had 30 minutes.
I mean, you know, the kind ofpressure though I put on myself
is there's no way I can do thatin 30 minutes.
I'm going to need like 24 hoursto like meditate and soak it in
(30:09):
and get off the rate of juicesrolling and flowing.
And maybe I could ask London,or maybe I need to research this
or what's that.
Pull, pull, because I'm notcapable of it.
That's what I'm thinking.
That's why I'm panicking.
I can't do it.
I'm not going to be able to doit, I'm not going to get the job
, I'm not going to give moremoney for my family and then
we're going to die.
There's my trail, right.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
That's.
I went through somewhat asimilar thing yesterday Not like
that, like, not similar,similar, but like an adult
scenario where we freakourselves out more than we need
to is that I had an injury, asyou know, in July, and while
that injury was happening, I'mgoing to the emergency room the
whole time.
I'm like how am I going to payfor this?
(30:54):
I can't even pay for this,there's no way.
Well, I'm not, I should not begoing as my foot is stuck in my
shoe and I heard it go like snap.
I'm like, oh no, I'm, I can'tafford it.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I saw that leg, that leg broke.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Yeah, like so, you know, months later than all the
stuff comes in and I get allthese paperwork of adult bills
and I'm like, how am I going topay for this?
Like you know, I shouldn't have.
I shouldn't have booked avacation, I shouldn't have done
this.
I know what?
Like you know, you just go downthat hole and of course it's
like 10 o'clock at night and I'mlike why do I freak myself up
Like 10 and then you can't sleep, yeah, so like stomachs and
(31:30):
knots.
Yeah, I'm like, you know, I'mgonna go shower.
I took a shower, turn on thehot, the water super hot, and
yeah, calm down.
And then I talked about it withNathan and then he made me feel
better.
You know what we can do, whatwe, what the steps we need to
start taking towards that,rather than like in the moment,
there's nothing I can do rightnow.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Exactly Calm down, not one thing.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Nope, but it's just.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
We freak ourselves out, I think so much, we're so
quick to jump down that, thatwhole line, yeah, instead of
there's always a solution.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah, it's, it's.
There's no reason for us to gofrom like it's zero to 10.
Like you're going like this,where you're fine, and then like
it's like an inconvenience.
And you're like, nope, mylife's done.
Yeah, it's worse day ever.
And then it's just like we getso caught up in that rather than
(32:22):
stepping back, taking a moment,breathing, writing down your
thoughts or taking a shower ordoing what you need to do to
like a reset.
And then just start writing downor thinking or taking that step
what can you do first?
And you sat down and you letyour pen go and that's what that
(32:42):
first step was and you did whatyou needed to do.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
And then I'm putting my brain up, right, yeah, it's
opening my brain up to moreinformation and all this.
And then he gave me the wordsand so I can say, yeah, you know
another story.
I wrote down that.
I haven't told anyone this, butit reminded me.
God reminded me of the storyearlier.
You know, starting outvoiceover and there's all these
(33:09):
things you have to do.
We got to do it, right, you gotto do all these auditions and
get them in.
There's these things.
And then I had a friend comealong and say can you do me a
favor?
I have this nonprofitorganization and I would love
for you to come out on theweekend, early Saturday morning,
and I would like for you to dothe announcements and you can
even pre-record it, play itwhile you're there, and she's a
(33:30):
good friend of mine.
So of course I was.
I was wanting to do it, howevernot getting paid for it.
I know that I want to begenerous with that, something
really want to do, but there isthat part of me that I'm like,
but I'm not getting paid for it.
Do you know what I mean?
Like I really want to do this.
Is this really?
(33:50):
And I felt spirit.
Tell me follow my lead, becauseyou're doing this out of the
kindness and the love for thisnonprofit for your friend.
I see you and I have suchexciting feeling about it.
Well, that's how I met theradio guy who ended up giving me
my radio jobs.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Yeah, sometimes it just leads to one thing.
And for real estate, like forleases, they don't get me much,
not a lot for leases.
But, as you know, time's goneon and I've had my license for
two years now.
I've realized that it's notabout you doing the moment.
Sometimes it's connections thatyou make during that moment.
(34:32):
So there's been two like yearsnow where I have clients that
you know give referrals, or youmeet someone in that scenario,
or it just takes one person tomake you feel special.
It takes a lot of people thatyou don't.
You have to do a lot of thingsyou don't want to do first
before it gets that person.
But you know, of course, anonprofit and like an
organization.
(34:52):
That's awesome that you've gotto do that for your friend.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
And then you also got something you know like met
someone with that I would havenever, I mean you wouldn't have
met him If you didn't do that.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
and not saying like you wouldn't have if he did or
didn't, but just like the factthat you trusted yourself and
your instinct of you know Ishould do this.
And then it almost like gaveback to you and it paid off for
just taking a step back.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah, well, thank you so much for doing this, yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I can give you a story which I mean.
No, no one can convince me thatthis, and I don't even know
where this came from.
But the whole Redbird thing islike have you heard this?
Like when a Redbird comes, it'slike it's someone that's passed
.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah, like, specifically like in my picture,
my profile I have what lookslike an ice cream cone, but it's
really flowers, and what isapparently supposed to be the
cherry is a red cardinal in myprofile.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Yes, yeah, yeah, ok, so anytime I would just see them
, I'd be like, oh, maybe that'smy grandma, or maybe that's
Carrie's dad or you know I.
But I didn't know, like therewas nothing saying that it was a
certain person for sure or thatyou know, but there was.
So I had a client who was anelderly couple that was.
(36:08):
I had their house listed.
We were in the process ofpurchasing their new house.
I've become really close withthis lady, like adored her, and
she you were selling their house.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah, so were you showing a house or were you
selling a house?
I?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
had.
I had their house listed and Iwas representing them as buyers
on another house.
Ok, so I had been working withthem on their house, which was
like they were essentiallyselling their home so that they
their son and his wife weremoving to Texas and they were
going to buy one like really bigproperty and like with a back
(36:48):
house on it or something and sothat they would kind of like
kind of live together but on thesame property.
She was so excited to be likedoing this for her son and like
a couple of Saturdays I wentover and had coffee with her,
like there was.
We had built a relationshipoutside of just showing houses
and but she was pretty stressedabout some things and she ended
(37:10):
up having a heart attack anddying in the process of this.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
And it was literally so sad, like I mean just it was
sad for many reasons Her husbandended up having to go into he
had some dementia, so then hehad to go into like a care unit
rather than living with his wifeand change things for her son
and all those stuff.
Anyway, the day I was I wasdriving there to get to their
(37:37):
house that I had listed it soldand I was going to pick up the
sign out of the yard and to getto their house.
Like you're just kind ofdriving down like a wooded road
first, like a tree, heavily tree, and I'm just driving along and
this I mean I could almost crylike even still, this red bird
(37:57):
just flew right in front of mycar and I'm like no freaking way
, like I know that was her, Iknow it was like yeah, I mean,
if I'm crazy, I'm crazy and Idon't care.
I like when you know thatyou've heard something or felt
something or seen something, soI would never dispute what you
(38:19):
say, you've experienced or heard, and even if I haven't heard it
in the same way yeah that makessense.
But I do know what it feels liketo feel someone's presence, or
or it's like to me I thinkthere's the term God week Like
it's, it's it's God's way ofrevealing to you.
Like I think he thinks that heknows those relationships were
(38:40):
special and he knows there'sit's hard to to release fully
and like, and he, I think he,gives us those sweet moments or
those you know, whether it comesdirectly to you or from through
someone else, to just like,confirm the feelings that are
there in the relationship.
And you know, I don't know I'mnot going to act like I know how
(39:01):
to explain it or that I'm notlike a medium or yeah, or why
would you just?
Speaker 1 (39:09):
I mean, in that split second moment, you don't have
time to decide.
I couldn't have said that youthought it was her or not.
Oh, there's a cardinal.
I remember a story.
I wonder if, oh, this, I meanso many things are happening and
you're driving, and you'regoing, and you're picking this
up, and then this bird happensand you're just like oh, my God,
(39:30):
it's like it's instant.
You just know.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah, it's instant.
You couldn't concoct the storybecause it yeah, it's too Right

Speaker 3 (39:41):

I couldn't remember it today.
You know what I'm saying.

out, you know, being a realtor,like I would make posts of this
house, I had listed this house,I had sold like blah, blah, blah
