Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hi Trixie, Welcome to the Quantum Alchemist Master
Podcast.
It's a pleasure to have youhere.
I actually was just readingthrough your LinkedIn profile
just to get a little bit morein-depth information and I found
out that we had a lot of thingsin common.
So I'm eager to learn a littlebit about you, what it is that
you do, and a little bit abouthow you got to be able to do
(00:25):
that today.
So anything you want to share,please go ahead.
The floor is all yours.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Thank you, rosalia, thank you for inviting me and,
wow, so I can talk about myentire life.
Yep, pretty much Awesome.
Well, I think what I'd like toshare, maybe as an introduction,
is that I grew up in aprivileged household.
My mother was a stay-at-homemother and I, early on, started
(00:55):
to define myself by my career.
So after I graduated fromcollege, I threw myself
wholeheartedly into my careerand I raised two children while
I worked full time until theywere like teenagers, so large
parts of their lives and Ialways felt that I had to
(01:17):
achieve something or provesomething that you know, as
women we can have it all.
And then, around 2010, ourfamily went to India.
So my husband at the time got atransfer and I was working for
an Indian company, but I wasworking for them in California,
in the Bay Area, and when Istarted showing up at
(01:41):
headquarters in Bangalore, Iwasn't my vibe.
It was very different.
It was a very well-financed butfamily-run business and it just
wasn't my culture.
And that was the first time inmy adult life I'd worked since I
was 18, that I just quit and Ididn't look for another job and
I took a whole, took a wholeyear off and it really helped me
(02:05):
let go of this identity of mycareer and I became more focused
on my children really mychildren.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
How old were you?
If you don't mind me asking.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So I was in my late forties then, and my daughter
was probably eight years old,nine years old I'm sorry,
continue, just to give, get somecontext.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
um, yeah, I find usually, unless you go through
something very, very traumaticearly on, typically these
awakenings or this big shifts umhappen for us typically after
our 30s.
So I was just wondering whereyou were at with that Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, yeah, yes.
So then I took a year off and Iwas living in Bangalore and it
was a lot of fun.
It was a great place at thetime.
And after that year I came backto well, what do I want to do
with my life?
I want to be productive.
I want to do with my life.
I want to be productive, I wantto do something meaningful.
And so I happened to talk to afriend of mine who was a career
(03:11):
coach at the time and she saidwell, what is it that you liked
about your work?
And I thought, hmm, one thing Ireally loved about my work was
helping develop people.
So, you know, I was a managerof a sales team.
I worked in the integrationphase of mergers and
acquisitions, and most of thetime I was managing or helping
(03:36):
people that I had no idea whatthey did.
I mean, it was way out there.
There was no way I could keepup with everything, and so my
natural focus was just developthe person, support them, help
them find new perspectives.
And that was around.
Yeah, 2011, 2012.
My friend said, hey, that'swhat a coach does.
Maybe you want to check thatout.
(03:57):
And so that was my big careershift and it also allowed me to
be my own boss and somebodyposted this on LinkedIn recently
.
It said so you quit your40-hour job so you can now work
80 hours for yourself and in away I experienced that, but at
(04:19):
the same time it was on my ownclock, so I was much more
available for my daughter.
I also have a son, but he was alittle bit older and he didn't
need that much attention, but itwas definitely a big shift for
me being able to spend time withmy daughter beautiful.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
So let's dive deeper into this.
I love what you have becauseit's like okay, you've achieved
X, y, z, whatever your goalswere let's just say,
hypothetically, financial, forexample.
And then now what right?
So, because I, in my personaljourney, I find that what really
drives me and is findingpurpose is having purpose and
(05:02):
being aligned with that purpose,or, you know, soul mission,
whatever you want to call it.
So could you tell us a littlebit more in depth as to the type
of coaching that you do?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, yeah, sure, I started out with executive and
career coaching, leadershipdevelopment, so a lot of work in
the corporate space, but mostlywith one-on-one clients.
And as part of that, you know,my continued training and
self-development brought me moreinto what I guess you consider
(05:37):
life coaching.
So people would come to me fortheir career leadership needs.
But then I did coach them fromthe heart and I've learned that
over the years.
So what I've also learned is weall know how to get better at
work, how to get ourselves outof the way, become a better
(05:59):
communicator, make yourselfvisible, work on your brand I
mean all of those things thatultimately make you successful
in your career.
And that's what I've done foralmost 12 years now.
And then a couple of years agoit hit me that a lot of my
clients showed up in their 40s,maybe late 40s, but somewhere
(06:20):
around that age bracket where,if you have worked in tech, more
around that age bracket where,if you have worked in tech,
you've done well for yourself.
So the end is in sight.
It's the idea that maybe I needto work another five years, but
I don't necessarily need to getpromoted.
I'm fine where I am.
But that's a hard concept forsomebody who was used to always
(06:40):
achieving the next, the next,the next.
You know, we get into a greatcollege, we get that great first
job, we get promoted, we getthat car, it's right.
So it's really hard for thesehyperachievers to stop at some
point and say maybe this isenough and the other things that
(07:01):
happen at that stage in yourlife I call it the third quarter
in life.
You might be dealing with agingparents.
You for sure, if you havechildren, you're dealing with
young adults that for sure havenot turned out the way you
wanted them to.
And to what extent do youmanage that?
(07:21):
And do you manage that?
I often see that.
You know the spousalrelationship has not been
attended to and you know peoplehave become very transactional
as parents or caregivers.
And then, last but not least,well, if I don't have to work
here anymore, if I don't have tolive in New York City or the
Bay Area or any of these, youknow intense workplaces, where
(07:46):
do I want to live?
In a way, the world is theiroyster.
But it's also very scarybecause up until now there was a
path, a path, a path Right.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So I can only speak from where I stand in my
perception.
But I've been through severalstages in my life where I jump
into the unknown right and justtrusting and connecting more and
more with my heart and mypurpose and things like that.
Is there anything on yourpersonal life that?
(08:23):
Because I find that a lot ofthe stuff, for example, that I
share with my clients is stuffthat I personally went through
and I personally experienced andI see those challenges as just
stepping tones, like molding meto be able to share on a
personal level and be like okay,you know, I've been there as
well, here's what worked for me.
(08:44):
I also saw that you use positiveintelligence.
I'm currently going throughtheir program right now and I
find it very interesting.
I like it.
So far, so good.
You know we talk a lot in oneof the pods like kind of like
you know just what's working,what's not working, how to
implement it with clients andstuff like that.
So definitely always trying tojust incorporate different
(09:07):
aspects, but I believe our bestcertification is our own life
journey, to tell you the truth.
So is there any?
You don't have to get toopersonal if you don't want to,
but is there any event in yourlife, particularly that you've
kind of either had to use yourown tools or um have been just
(09:28):
one of those awakening momentsfor you.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, um, I think there's.
There's two parts that I cancomment on.
One was when I, when I thinkback about my corporate career
and what I really bring to whenI coach people around their
workplace and their career, isthat you're here by your free
(09:55):
will.
So if things change and ithappened to me only twice in my
career, but both of those timesI walked away I was matched with
a manager that was a person Ihad problems with in the past.
It was somebody I didn'trespect, somebody who was
brought in for political reasons.
And then, similarly, ithappened again and in both
(10:15):
instances I went to my skiplevel and I said I'm sorry, this
is my last day at work here.
I cannot accept this change.
And in both cases people said,okay'm sorry, this is my last
day at work here.
I cannot accept this change.
And in both cases people said,okay, okay, what are we going to
do?
But even if it hadn't workedout that way, I think one of my
life experiences is don't bewishful thinking and hopeful and
(10:39):
oh, this manager and thesituation is going to improve.
Really, be honest with yourselfand see what you can do.
And I don't advocate walkingaway like I did, but looking at
it and saying this isn't workingfor me, I will not thrive here.
So that's definitely a careerexperience.
(11:00):
And then in my personal life, Ithink it was.
And then in my personal life Ithink it was.
I've been a coach for almost 10years.
I've done PQ for two years atleast and I was faced with a
(11:22):
very challenging situation in mypersonal life and PQ allowed me
to power through the situationand not fall apart.
But then later on I learnedthat I myself I hadn't done the
work, like I was part of thesituation and I had to change
how I managed my life andbasically what it came down and
(11:49):
I worked with a coach on thatintensely and what it came down
to is that I always thought, ifI just fix things, if I just
pedal really harder, whatever,that meant things would be okay.
That meant things would be okayand I would have this little
(12:10):
thing on my fingertip that saidNF, and that's not NF, but it's
like no fixing.
So it was a lifelong habit ofmine.
I still find myself oh, do youwant me to fill up the gas in
your tank?
No, I don't need to do that.
(12:33):
If I'm asked, I will say sure Ican do it, but it's the
difference between alwayswanting to be of service and
always wanting to please peopleand then moving away from that
and saying what really works forme, what matters to me and and
how.
That how I explain that to myclients is I say whatever you
(12:55):
want to work on what it's like,you know, figuring out your
retirement move, figuring outthe relationship with your adult
children, whatever it is youwant to work on what I will help
you is to connect with, to beable to decide what's right for
you, and a lot of that is the PQwork, but a lot of it is also
(13:18):
really being forceful and whatwe call our initial session,
where I set the social contractwith my clients.
I talk about that.
I said in order for us to getsomewhere, I have to say things
that might be unexpected.
I need to have the guts to sayit to you.
(13:39):
I hope you can receive it withgrace and if it's too much, tell
me.
But a lot of what true coachingis is hey, where's your heart?
What's really going on?
Opening up all of that?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
thank you for, for speaking, to opening our hearts,
for being vulnerable andsharing some of your personal
story.
Um, so I do find that many of usin the collective awakening
just to name it something um, alot of us are peeling that onion
and trying to get to our coreand trying to get to that heart
(14:16):
connection, because I don't knowfrom where I stand, uh, my
perspective, the way we'reoperating from our mostly our
left brain and conditioning, um,it's really not doing a lot of
good for us right now.
So we kind of need to startpivoting and shifting, and I
feel like a lot of the coachesum is ourselves that are doing a
(14:37):
lot of that inner work, that,um, alchemy process, and and
we're sharing it with otherpeople.
Um, so I find what you do verybeautiful, um, and and the fact
that your heart centeredconnection is is so wonderful.
Do you have any suggestions forour listeners that maybe
(14:58):
something easy that they coulddo to connect more with their
heart, or something that you'reable to share, not necessarily
getting too much into what youhad disclosed in your program,
but anything that you are ableto share?
I always like to bring inuseful tools that maybe, if they
can't.
Let's just hypothetically sayif somebody maybe can't afford a
coach right now, and some tipswe can give them.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, yeah, thank you .
That's a great question,rosalia.
I mean, we all talk aboutbreath work, but how does a
person do breath work withoutthe help of an instructor?
So what I can offer people isto think about breath work.
It doesn't have to be thatclose your eyes and it's all
(15:44):
like really relaxed.
It can happen in the here andnow.
So, as I'm looking at you, ros,rosalia, I can do my work and
all it means is that for 10seconds, 20 seconds, whatever is
available to me, I leave mybrain and I go into my body.
(16:05):
And going into your body can beanything.
It can be touching the surfaceof the desk I'm sitting at,
touching the surface of the deskI'm sitting at and really just
feeling the texture, thetemperature.
See if the temperature changes.
A lot of people have beentrained to look at a glass of
water.
That's another thing.
(16:27):
Just whatever is there in yourvicinity, you can use it.
So you don't even know that I'mdoing this, because you don't
know that I'm moving my hands.
Another technique that Irecommend for people who are
more fidgety try to find your 10toes.
It's usually really difficultto find all 10 toes and you have
(16:48):
to go in order and you have toreally concentrate on it.
And that might take you 20seconds to really find all your
10 toes.
And when you come back to theZoom call, the dinner
conversation, whatever we'reengaged in, you just have that
recharge, that just little bitof letting go.
And you know we talked aboutthe PQ app.
(17:12):
In the app you do have a meterthat shows you how this works.
So I can tell you that doing 20seconds of just some sort of
like breathing mindfulness goinginto your body, just think of
it, just don't be in your head.
Anything else gives you such aboost.
It's wonderful and with myclients I try to have them build
(17:38):
a habit, a practice where theydo this between every single
meeting.
And it seems so obvious thatone wants to do that.
But when you look at thereality, people are running from
one meeting to the next andalways late and always just
showing up exasperated, so youbring in the entire baggage of
your previous conversation.
(17:58):
So I think that's one thingthat if your listeners want to
try out these little tricks oftouch something, find your toes,
and the most important part isdon't judge yourself for how
long or how little you do it,the fact that you're doing it.
That's important.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Thank you for sharing that.
I'll just add some more tips tothat, if that's okay with you.
Yeah please.
Yeah.
So in regards to breathwork,it's important to know what
techniques to employ.
So there's many, manytechniques and you have
basically two branches you haveactivating breathwork techniques
and you have basically relaxingbreathwork techniques.
(18:41):
So you could do the four, fourthe box breathing.
You could do the primaryhumming bee breathing.
You probably don't want to dothat if you're in corporate,
though surrounded by people, butif you're alone you could do it
.
You could do inhale to a countof four, exhale to a count of
six or, if you have a little bitmore experience, inhale to a
count of four, exhale to a countof eight.
Making that exhale longer willhelp regulate your nervous
(19:03):
system.
Um, another good and easy onewould be to close your eyes and
imagine the distance betweenyour ears and then the distance
between your ear and the tip ofthe nose and from the other ear
to the tip of the nose, and thenyou can kind of like almost if
you're drawing your face withlines and looking at the space
(19:23):
in between.
That that's really going tohelp so much.
Just try it.
It's really going to help calmyou down and relax you and focus
, change the focus of your brainfrom whatever is causing you
stress.
Let me see what else I can think.
I mean, there's so many thingsI do.
Really, meditation to me, evenif it's a five minute meditation
(19:45):
, I highly highly recommend it.
But some people just get moreanxious trying to meditate.
So, find what works for you,play around.
Play around with it.
Um, some people like to draw andthat helps them.
Um, you know, just finddifferent things, whatever it
may be for you.
But even if it's a one minute,three minute, whatever it is,
that helps you, um, kind ofshift and pivot from that and
(20:09):
just I call it reset or priming,just whatever helps you with
that, you can try that.
Those are just some.
We wanted to leave you withsomething I always want, like to
leave them with actual thingsthat they can do and right away
they can use it, and there's somany.
You know, every time we have aguest, you guys bring so much
value to our listeners and somany tips and tricks and stuff
(20:31):
that that you currently do.
So we always want to make surethat we give them as much value
up front.
So tell, I mean I saw that youtravel a lot you have.
So tell me, like, what's beenyour favorite place and why.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Oh, my answer's going to sound weird.
My favorite place is home, andwhen I travel I travel to see
people.
I don't necessarily travel tosee places.
I did that earlier on, but nowthat I have lived in so many
different places, and then thepeople that I met in India, they
(21:14):
were from all over the place,so now I have friends everywhere
.
My dear friend who is from theNetherlands she lived in the US
for 20 years.
She's my business partner inRed Pants Coaching.
She just moves back to theNetherlands.
So when I'm constantlytraveling, it's really like I
want to meet up with people andthen sometimes, instead of going
(21:36):
to their home, we go on a triptogether.
But it's always with people,except for I live in Florida.
Where do you live?
Miami?
What about you?
Oh, awesome, I'm just north ofyou.
I'm in Melbourne Beach oh, verycool.
How's the beach there?
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, it's much better than Miami Beach, I bet.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yes, it's very quiet.
It's a quiet town.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
So nice.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
So I love my home and I moved to Florida about two
years ago, and so this is myquest is seeing as much of
florida as possible all right, Ilike that.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Do you like to like go to nature reserves and things
like that?
Or what do you like to explore?
Like the beat live coast orlike what?
What do you like?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
yeah, I love nature.
You know, I grew up in austria,so we have the big mountains um
.
I lived in the san FranciscoBay Area, which had just amazing
outdoor activities, yes, so Ilove all the nature here the
preserves, the hikes, thesprings that you can swim in.
I also like to just exploresome other towns, and I'm
(22:49):
absolutely in love with the Keys.
I love snorkeling and deep seafishing.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh, look at that that's adventurous, very nice.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
What's your favorite part about Florida?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Family, being with family, being with family that
to me is so.
So we're a big family andeverybody migrated here from
Cuba to here.
So just being able to be withthem in a place where it's not
oppressed, where we don't havecommunism, where we don't have a
war, where we're safe, where wehave actual food when we go to
(23:25):
the store I know it sounds dumb,but there's nothing.
There's no supplies in thehospitals, there's no food,
there's literally nothing.
So just moving from that andcoming from that poverty here to
me is just invaluable.
(23:45):
Really just to have thatopportunity and to be healthy A
lot of our family has had a lotof health issues and being able
to be in a place where you canhave healthcare readily
accessible, it's everything tous.
So I just love being with family.
I think anywhere that I am withmy close group of family, I
(24:06):
feel supported, I feel that theybelieve in me, they encourage
me.
It helps me stay grounded towho I am and to my soul mission.
I had a near death and a lot ofthings just have unfolded since
then and I see how I've changed, but also how my family has
(24:27):
changed, because I changedwithout forcing anybody to
change, which has just been amiracle and very beautiful and
it's just wonderful.
That's what I love the mostreally just being able to be
with family.
Sorry for giving you such along answer to a short question.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Oh, that's a lovely story.
That's pretty amazing, thankyou.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
So I always like to talk about the guest childhood.
It doesn't have to be anythingtraumatic or anything crazy, but
anything or maybe somethingfunny.
Whatever you want to shareabout your childhood, I just
think I don't know where ourinner child sometimes it's just
so neglected we don't evenrarely bring it up.
(25:16):
Um, and we unless you're doingyou know you're very into the
inner work is rare that that youkind of like work with your
inner child and do a lot of thisinner child healing stuff.
Um, so I always like to andthere's a reason I don't know I
just always feel called to bringthe inner child in to join us.
So just any story or anythingthat you want to share from
(25:39):
early, early on.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, yeah, you know.
It's interesting because in thePQ app, in the initial program
where you go through, there's anexercise where you do exactly
that you divide your life intocertain segments, so you divide
up your childhood.
And the question is, you know,something bad or unpleasant
(26:02):
happened, and how does that lookfrom today's perspective?
So I've done this exercise somany times because whenever I do
it with my clients, I do itmyself, and so when you ask me
or anybody asks me about mychildhood, I'm like, okay, is
this like a normal childhoodstory or is this a peak?
Okay with a gift andopportunity?
(26:23):
So they have somewhat merged.
But yes, thank you for asking.
As I said earlier, I had a veryprivileged childhood.
My parents were wealthy and Ihave two older siblings, so my
brother was seven years or isseven years older, my sister
(26:45):
eight years older.
So I always felt like I waslike an only child is seven
years older, my sister eightyears older.
So I always felt like I waslike an only child.
And my best friend growing up.
I met her at three years of ageat the playground.
Her name is Daisy, even thoughthat's not a German name.
Her name is Daisy.
She loved Daisy Duck, so shecalled herself Daisy.
So Daisy and I spent ourchildhood together and I always
(27:09):
felt like her family was reallymy family and they had a little
hobby farm and they would spendsummers there and they had
horses.
And I always loved horses Iride horses to this day but that
was sort of my childhood.
That's my really happy memoryof like.
At dinnertime her mom would sayhey, you know, I need some
(27:29):
fresh corn, can you hop on thehorses and get some from the
field?
And we would just race up tothis farmer's field and grab
them and come back and I'm sureshe just said that so we
wouldn't be in the way of thehouse.
But that was my beautifulchildhood and, as I said, I grew
(27:49):
up very privileged.
I had a very close relationshipwith my dad.
I know my dad is not a perfectperson but in a way he and I are
wired the same way and yeah, Ithink that's what I.
But I always, always wanted tolive somewhere else.
(28:10):
So when you grow up in a citylike Vienna, most people would
just live all their life there.
So for me, having this absolutedesire to live elsewhere and I
have I've lived in so manyplaces was kind of unusual, and
when you were talking about yourfamily, right.
So the price that came withthat was that I didn't live near
(28:31):
my family and um, because theywere all in Austria.
And so now ask me about mychild.
And now I'm coming back to mycurrent situation.
One of the things I love aboutmy life here in Melbourne Beach
is that my best friends and mypartner, their siblings, their
whole family is here, and so Ifeel like, oh, I have a family,
(28:55):
with all the ups and downs thatbrings.
You know, all the civilquandaries, no matter how old
people are, all the drama, allof this, and that we just went
on a vacation to Key West andafter that I said I need a break
.
But, um, it's just, it's justlovely to have family nearby.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, beautiful, and do you still have family in
austria?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I have my brother, okay, okay, all right, thanks,
okay, very nice and All right,Okay, Very nice.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And from the picture that you painted as a child, I
want to ask you do you ever wantto go back to live and kind of
like that same when you retireor later on?
Is that something kind of likein that type of lifestyle?
Do you see that?
Or do you feel more like you'vejust changed what you like or
(29:53):
what you're looking for ahead,Like what's coming ahead for you
?
Do you see?
Is there anything you couldshare that's not too personal?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, that's a really good question and, as you were
asking me, I realized that, umthe way Daisy and her family
lived in the summers it wastheir summer home um, it's a lot
like the way I live now.
You know, I I live on the water.
(30:22):
I have a horse.
I don't have her at home, but Ihave her nearby Part of a
really great riding community,and I do work four days a week.
So in a way I'm like ready onefoot into retirement.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
And.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Mondays are my day off, and just last Monday I
thought, oh, this is so amazinghow much this does for my soul.
This is why I love to work,because I don't work on Monday.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Okay, thanks for sharing.
Is there anything you'reworking on or anything about
your programs or anything thatyou want to share with our
listeners?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Sure, thank you.
So, as you know yourself, theinitial mental fitness program
that is part of the PQ app is aseven-week program, and I offer
that to clients in a groupsetting makes it more affordable
, more economically.
What it helps people is toconnect with their essence.
(31:29):
We talked about the inner child.
There's a lot of work onself-empathy, understanding
these saboteur voices that havebrought you from childhood into
adulthood.
Now it's time to chuck them.
So why I call it seven weeks tomastering your essence is
figuring out all thesecharacters in your head, all
(31:50):
these voices, and starting towork with them.
So that's the idea of themental fitness, and so I do that
in a seven week group program,and I announced them on LinkedIn
and on social media.
So, if you connect with me thatway, the name of my company is
Red Pants Coaching, so I hopethat you have to tell us about
(32:11):
that.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
You have to tell us about that name.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yes, yes, so that name was a funny coincidence.
My friend and fellow coachMarlies.
Her and I we kind of graduatedaround the same time and we
started having this idea ofcollaborating and she had won a
photo shoot from our localchamber of commerce and for some
reason she was wearing redpants.
(32:34):
And she came back with hundredsand hundreds of pictures of red
pants and we said that's it,red pants coaching.
I love that.
So authentic, awesome.
So back in the days when we didon-site team development right
before COVID, we'd always wearred pants.
That was our trademark.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Very cool.
I like that and I love what thecolor red stands for.
So it's very powerful, verybeautiful.
And what else do you offer?
You offer the group and youoffer the one-on-ones.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yes, the one-on-ones is usually a six-month program
where people want to do somedeeper work, but also takes them
through the mental fitness gym,but in a deeper way, in a
one-on-one setting, and what Itruly offer for anybody is a
free conversation with me.
So you'll find that on mywebsite, you'll find that on
(33:26):
LinkedInin.
This is just the idea of.
You know, I use the mentalfitness idea, the saboteurs um,
we talk about what it is thatthey want to achieve and then
I'll help them in that one hourto look at their own saboteurs
and see where they get in theway and start developing some
strategies.
So it's, it's kind of like ateaser, but it's also like where
(33:50):
we just did.
You know, what can somebody walkaway with?
So in an hour, you can walkaway with understanding that
there is something going on inyour head and there's different
ways to work with that.
One way is working with me andworking with the mental fitness
program, but work with somebodyelse as long as we discover that
(34:11):
, hey, you know, there's,there's a better future, there's
a way to quiet that noise,there is a way to be more in
that lighter part of your brainthank you so much for for
sharing a lot of your personalstuff and your childhood and
just a little bit of yourjourney and what it is that you
(34:35):
do and your mission in thisworld and how you're helping and
being of service.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
So guys have a conversation.
Okay, reach out, it doesn'thurt.
There are other ways.
Sometimes we don't look at allthe perspectives or all the
possibilities that are availableto us and we can definitely
benefit from someone that's beenthere it's done that before Um.
(35:12):
So Trixie has a long road ofbeing there, doing that and and
exploring with a lot of toolsthat she herself has um tested
in her own life, um and and herown journey.
You know, in one of the darkesttimes that she's been through
Um.
So she basically just being inalignment with the work that
she's doing, with what she'ssharing, and I personally love
that.
It's heart-centered.
To me, that is the key toanything that we do, and
(35:35):
everything that we do is reallythat connection to the heart.
To me, the connection to theheart is the connection to
source, to God, whatever youwant to call it, universe, so
just operating from that place,and I think many people as a
collective are shifting to that.
So I love that what you'rebringing into the space.
Thank you so much.
(35:56):
It's an honor to have had you.
Is there anything you want toleave the audience with or
anything else you want to share?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Well, I wanted to thank you, rosalia.
I had my own aha moments duringyour questions, so that is very
powerful, thank you, and foryour audience.
Really, just reach out to me ifyou're curious.
I always love to talk to people, I love to give.
I always say paid forward, andthat's what we're here for.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
So thank you again.
Thank you so much, trixie,pleasure to have you.
Hi Trixie, Welcome to the Quantum Alchemist Master
Podcast.
It's a pleasure to have youhere.
I actually was just readingthrough your LinkedIn profile
just to get a little bit morein-depth information and I found
out that we had a lot of thingsin common.
So I'm eager to learn a littlebit about you, what it is that
you do, and a little bit abouthow you got to be able to do
(00:25):
that today.
So anything you want to share,please go ahead.
The floor is all yours.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Thank you, rosalia, thank you for inviting me and,
wow, so I can talk about myentire life.
Yep, pretty much Awesome.
Well, I think what I'd like toshare, maybe as an introduction,
is that I grew up in aprivileged household.
My mother was a stay-at-homemother and I, early on, started
(00:55):
to define myself by my career.
So after I graduated fromcollege, I threw myself
wholeheartedly into my careerand I raised two children while
I worked full time until theywere like teenagers, so large
parts of their lives and Ialways felt that I had to
(01:17):
achieve something or provesomething that you know, as
women we can have it all.
And then, around 2010, ourfamily went to India.
So my husband at the time got atransfer and I was working for
an Indian company, but I wasworking for them in California,
in the Bay Area, and when Istarted showing up at
(01:41):
headquarters in Bangalore, Iwasn't my vibe.
It was very different.
It was a very well-financed butfamily-run business and it just
wasn't my culture.
And that was the first time inmy adult life I'd worked since I
was 18, that I just quit and Ididn't look for another job and
I took a whole, took a wholeyear off and it really helped me
(02:05):
let go of this identity of mycareer and I became more focused
on my children really mychildren.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
How old were you?
If you don't mind me asking.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So I was in my late forties then, and my daughter
was probably eight years old,nine years old I'm sorry,
continue, just to give, get somecontext.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
um, yeah, I find usually, unless you go through
something very, very traumaticearly on, typically these
awakenings or this big shifts umhappen for us typically after
our 30s.
So I was just wondering whereyou were at with that Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, yeah, yes.
So then I took a year off and Iwas living in Bangalore and it
was a lot of fun.
It was a great place at thetime.
And after that year I came backto well, what do I want to do
with my life?
I want to be productive.
I want to do with my life.
I want to be productive, I wantto do something meaningful.
And so I happened to talk to afriend of mine who was a career
(03:11):
coach at the time and she saidwell, what is it that you liked
about your work?
And I thought, hmm, one thing Ireally loved about my work was
helping develop people.
So, you know, I was a managerof a sales team.
I worked in the integrationphase of mergers and
acquisitions, and most of thetime I was managing or helping
(03:36):
people that I had no idea whatthey did.
I mean, it was way out there.
There was no way I could keepup with everything, and so my
natural focus was just developthe person, support them, help
them find new perspectives.
And that was around.
Yeah, 2011, 2012.
My friend said, hey, that'swhat a coach does.
Maybe you want to check thatout.
(03:57):
And so that was my big careershift and it also allowed me to
be my own boss and somebodyposted this on LinkedIn recently
.
It said so you quit your40-hour job so you can now work
80 hours for yourself and in away I experienced that, but at
(04:19):
the same time it was on my ownclock, so I was much more
available for my daughter.
I also have a son, but he was alittle bit older and he didn't
need that much attention, but itwas definitely a big shift for
me being able to spend time withmy daughter beautiful.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
So let's dive deeper into this.
I love what you have becauseit's like okay, you've achieved
X, y, z, whatever your goalswere let's just say,
hypothetically, financial, forexample.
And then now what right?
So, because I, in my personaljourney, I find that what really
drives me and is findingpurpose is having purpose and
(05:02):
being aligned with that purpose,or, you know, soul mission,
whatever you want to call it.
So could you tell us a littlebit more in depth as to the type
of coaching that you do?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, yeah, sure, I started out with executive and
career coaching, leadershipdevelopment, so a lot of work in
the corporate space, but mostlywith one-on-one clients.
And as part of that, you know,my continued training and
self-development brought me moreinto what I guess you consider
(05:37):
life coaching.
So people would come to me fortheir career leadership needs.
But then I did coach them fromthe heart and I've learned that
over the years.
So what I've also learned is weall know how to get better at
work, how to get ourselves outof the way, become a better
(05:59):
communicator, make yourselfvisible, work on your brand I
mean all of those things thatultimately make you successful
in your career.
And that's what I've done foralmost 12 years now.
And then a couple of years agoit hit me that a lot of my
clients showed up in their 40s,maybe late 40s, but somewhere
(06:20):
around that age bracket where,if you have worked in tech, more
around that age bracket where,if you have worked in tech,
you've done well for yourself.
So the end is in sight.
It's the idea that maybe I needto work another five years, but
I don't necessarily need to getpromoted.
I'm fine where I am.
But that's a hard concept forsomebody who was used to always
(06:40):
achieving the next, the next,the next.
You know, we get into a greatcollege, we get that great first
job, we get promoted, we getthat car, it's right.
So it's really hard for thesehyperachievers to stop at some
point and say maybe this isenough and the other things that
(07:01):
happen at that stage in yourlife I call it the third quarter
in life.
You might be dealing with agingparents.
You for sure, if you havechildren, you're dealing with
young adults that for sure havenot turned out the way you
wanted them to.
And to what extent do youmanage that?
(07:21):
And do you manage that?
I often see that.
You know the spousalrelationship has not been
attended to and you know peoplehave become very transactional
as parents or caregivers.
And then, last but not least,well, if I don't have to work
here anymore, if I don't have tolive in New York City or the
Bay Area or any of these, youknow intense workplaces, where
(07:46):
do I want to live?
In a way, the world is theiroyster.
But it's also very scarybecause up until now there was a
path, a path, a path Right.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So I can only speak from where I stand in my
perception.
But I've been through severalstages in my life where I jump
into the unknown right and justtrusting and connecting more and
more with my heart and mypurpose and things like that.
Is there anything on yourpersonal life that?
(08:23):
Because I find that a lot ofthe stuff, for example, that I
share with my clients is stuffthat I personally went through
and I personally experienced andI see those challenges as just
stepping tones, like molding meto be able to share on a
personal level and be like okay,you know, I've been there as
well, here's what worked for me.
(08:44):
I also saw that you use positiveintelligence.
I'm currently going throughtheir program right now and I
find it very interesting.
I like it.
So far, so good.
You know we talk a lot in oneof the pods like kind of like
you know just what's working,what's not working, how to
implement it with clients andstuff like that.
So definitely always trying tojust incorporate different
(09:07):
aspects, but I believe our bestcertification is our own life
journey, to tell you the truth.
So is there any?
You don't have to get toopersonal if you don't want to,
but is there any event in yourlife, particularly that you've
kind of either had to use yourown tools or um have been just
(09:28):
one of those awakening momentsfor you.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, um, I think there's.
There's two parts that I cancomment on.
One was when I, when I thinkback about my corporate career
and what I really bring to whenI coach people around their
workplace and their career, isthat you're here by your free
(09:55):
will.
So if things change and ithappened to me only twice in my
career, but both of those timesI walked away I was matched with
a manager that was a person Ihad problems with in the past.
It was somebody I didn'trespect, somebody who was
brought in for political reasons.
And then, similarly, ithappened again and in both
(10:15):
instances I went to my skiplevel and I said I'm sorry, this
is my last day at work here.
I cannot accept this change.
And in both cases people said,okay'm sorry, this is my last
day at work here.
I cannot accept this change.
And in both cases people said,okay, okay, what are we going to
do?
But even if it hadn't workedout that way, I think one of my
life experiences is don't bewishful thinking and hopeful and
(10:39):
oh, this manager and thesituation is going to improve.
Really, be honest with yourselfand see what you can do.
And I don't advocate walkingaway like I did, but looking at
it and saying this isn't workingfor me, I will not thrive here.
So that's definitely a careerexperience.
(11:00):
And then in my personal life, Ithink it was.
And then in my personal life Ithink it was.
I've been a coach for almost 10years.
I've done PQ for two years atleast and I was faced with a
(11:22):
very challenging situation in mypersonal life and PQ allowed me
to power through the situationand not fall apart.
But then later on I learnedthat I myself I hadn't done the
work, like I was part of thesituation and I had to change
how I managed my life andbasically what it came down and
(11:49):
I worked with a coach on thatintensely and what it came down
to is that I always thought, ifI just fix things, if I just
pedal really harder, whatever,that meant things would be okay.
That meant things would be okayand I would have this little
(12:10):
thing on my fingertip that saidNF, and that's not NF, but it's
like no fixing.
So it was a lifelong habit ofmine.
I still find myself oh, do youwant me to fill up the gas in
your tank?
No, I don't need to do that.
(12:33):
If I'm asked, I will say sure Ican do it, but it's the
difference between alwayswanting to be of service and
always wanting to please peopleand then moving away from that
and saying what really works forme, what matters to me and and
how.
That how I explain that to myclients is I say whatever you
(12:55):
want to work on what it's like,you know, figuring out your
retirement move, figuring outthe relationship with your adult
children, whatever it is youwant to work on what I will help
you is to connect with, to beable to decide what's right for
you, and a lot of that is the PQwork, but a lot of it is also
(13:18):
really being forceful and whatwe call our initial session,
where I set the social contractwith my clients.
I talk about that.
I said in order for us to getsomewhere, I have to say things
that might be unexpected.
I need to have the guts to sayit to you.
(13:39):
I hope you can receive it withgrace and if it's too much, tell
me.
But a lot of what true coachingis is hey, where's your heart?
What's really going on?
Opening up all of that?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
thank you for, for speaking, to opening our hearts,
for being vulnerable andsharing some of your personal
story.
Um, so I do find that many of usin the collective awakening
just to name it something um, alot of us are peeling that onion
and trying to get to our coreand trying to get to that heart
(14:16):
connection, because I don't knowfrom where I stand, uh, my
perspective, the way we'reoperating from our mostly our
left brain and conditioning, um,it's really not doing a lot of
good for us right now.
So we kind of need to startpivoting and shifting, and I
feel like a lot of the coachesum is ourselves that are doing a
(14:37):
lot of that inner work, that,um, alchemy process, and and
we're sharing it with otherpeople.
Um, so I find what you do verybeautiful, um, and and the fact
that your heart centeredconnection is is so wonderful.
Do you have any suggestions forour listeners that maybe
(14:58):
something easy that they coulddo to connect more with their
heart, or something that you'reable to share, not necessarily
getting too much into what youhad disclosed in your program,
but anything that you are ableto share?
I always like to bring inuseful tools that maybe, if they
can't.
Let's just hypothetically sayif somebody maybe can't afford a
coach right now, and some tipswe can give them.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, yeah, thank you .
That's a great question,rosalia.
I mean, we all talk aboutbreath work, but how does a
person do breath work withoutthe help of an instructor?
So what I can offer people isto think about breath work.
It doesn't have to be thatclose your eyes and it's all
(15:44):
like really relaxed.
It can happen in the here andnow.
So, as I'm looking at you, ros,rosalia, I can do my work and
all it means is that for 10seconds, 20 seconds, whatever is
available to me, I leave mybrain and I go into my body.
(16:05):
And going into your body can beanything.
It can be touching the surfaceof the desk I'm sitting at,
touching the surface of the deskI'm sitting at and really just
feeling the texture, thetemperature.
See if the temperature changes.
A lot of people have beentrained to look at a glass of
water.
That's another thing.
(16:27):
Just whatever is there in yourvicinity, you can use it.
So you don't even know that I'mdoing this, because you don't
know that I'm moving my hands.
Another technique that Irecommend for people who are
more fidgety try to find your 10toes.
It's usually really difficultto find all 10 toes and you have
(16:48):
to go in order and you have toreally concentrate on it.
And that might take you 20seconds to really find all your
10 toes.
And when you come back to theZoom call, the dinner
conversation, whatever we'reengaged in, you just have that
recharge, that just little bitof letting go.
And you know we talked aboutthe PQ app.
(17:12):
In the app you do have a meterthat shows you how this works.
So I can tell you that doing 20seconds of just some sort of
like breathing mindfulness goinginto your body, just think of
it, just don't be in your head.
Anything else gives you such aboost.
It's wonderful and with myclients I try to have them build
(17:38):
a habit, a practice where theydo this between every single
meeting.
And it seems so obvious thatone wants to do that.
But when you look at thereality, people are running from
one meeting to the next andalways late and always just
showing up exasperated, so youbring in the entire baggage of
your previous conversation.
(17:58):
So I think that's one thingthat if your listeners want to
try out these little tricks oftouch something, find your toes,
and the most important part isdon't judge yourself for how
long or how little you do it,the fact that you're doing it.
That's important.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Thank you for sharing that.
I'll just add some more tips tothat, if that's okay with you.
Yeah please.
Yeah.
So in regards to breathwork,it's important to know what
techniques to employ.
So there's many, manytechniques and you have
basically two branches you haveactivating breathwork techniques
and you have basically relaxingbreathwork techniques.
(18:41):
So you could do the four, fourthe box breathing.
You could do the primaryhumming bee breathing.
You probably don't want to dothat if you're in corporate,
though surrounded by people, butif you're alone you could do it
.
You could do inhale to a countof four, exhale to a count of
six or, if you have a little bitmore experience, inhale to a
count of four, exhale to a countof eight.
Making that exhale longer willhelp regulate your nervous
(19:03):
system.
Um, another good and easy onewould be to close your eyes and
imagine the distance betweenyour ears and then the distance
between your ear and the tip ofthe nose and from the other ear
to the tip of the nose, and thenyou can kind of like almost if
you're drawing your face withlines and looking at the space
(19:23):
in between.
That that's really going tohelp so much.
Just try it.
It's really going to help calmyou down and relax you and focus
, change the focus of your brainfrom whatever is causing you
stress.
Let me see what else I can think.
I mean, there's so many thingsI do.
Really, meditation to me, evenif it's a five minute meditation
(19:45):
, I highly highly recommend it.
But some people just get moreanxious trying to meditate.
So, find what works for you,play around.
Play around with it.
Um, some people like to draw andthat helps them.
Um, you know, just finddifferent things, whatever it
may be for you.
But even if it's a one minute,three minute, whatever it is,
that helps you, um, kind ofshift and pivot from that and
(20:09):
just I call it reset or priming,just whatever helps you with
that, you can try that.
Those are just some.
We wanted to leave you withsomething I always want, like to
leave them with actual thingsthat they can do and right away
they can use it, and there's somany.
You know, every time we have aguest, you guys bring so much
value to our listeners and somany tips and tricks and stuff
(20:31):
that that you currently do.
So we always want to make surethat we give them as much value
up front.
So tell, I mean I saw that youtravel a lot you have.
So tell me, like, what's beenyour favorite place and why.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Oh, my answer's going to sound weird.
My favorite place is home, andwhen I travel I travel to see
people.
I don't necessarily travel tosee places.
I did that earlier on, but nowthat I have lived in so many
different places, and then thepeople that I met in India, they
(21:14):
were from all over the place,so now I have friends everywhere
.
My dear friend who is from theNetherlands she lived in the US
for 20 years.
She's my business partner inRed Pants Coaching.
She just moves back to theNetherlands.
So when I'm constantlytraveling, it's really like I
want to meet up with people andthen sometimes, instead of going
(21:36):
to their home, we go on a triptogether.
But it's always with people,except for I live in Florida.
Where do you live?
Miami?
What about you?
Oh, awesome, I'm just north ofyou.
I'm in Melbourne Beach oh, verycool.
How's the beach there?
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, it's much better than Miami Beach, I bet.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yes, it's very quiet.
It's a quiet town.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
So nice.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
So I love my home and I moved to Florida about two
years ago, and so this is myquest is seeing as much of
florida as possible all right, Ilike that.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Do you like to like go to nature reserves and things
like that?
Or what do you like to explore?
Like the beat live coast orlike what?
What do you like?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
yeah, I love nature.
You know, I grew up in austria,so we have the big mountains um
.
I lived in the san FranciscoBay Area, which had just amazing
outdoor activities, yes, so Ilove all the nature here the
preserves, the hikes, thesprings that you can swim in.
I also like to just exploresome other towns, and I'm
(22:49):
absolutely in love with the Keys.
I love snorkeling and deep seafishing.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh, look at that that's adventurous, very nice.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
What's your favorite part about Florida?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Family, being with family, being with family that
to me is so.
So we're a big family andeverybody migrated here from
Cuba to here.
So just being able to be withthem in a place where it's not
oppressed, where we don't havecommunism, where we don't have a
war, where we're safe, where wehave actual food when we go to
(23:25):
the store I know it sounds dumb,but there's nothing.
There's no supplies in thehospitals, there's no food,
there's literally nothing.
So just moving from that andcoming from that poverty here to
me is just invaluable.
(23:45):
Really just to have thatopportunity and to be healthy A
lot of our family has had a lotof health issues and being able
to be in a place where you canhave healthcare readily
accessible, it's everything tous.
So I just love being with family.
I think anywhere that I am withmy close group of family, I
(24:06):
feel supported, I feel that theybelieve in me, they encourage
me.
It helps me stay grounded towho I am and to my soul mission.
I had a near death and a lot ofthings just have unfolded since
then and I see how I've changed, but also how my family has
(24:27):
changed, because I changedwithout forcing anybody to
change, which has just been amiracle and very beautiful and
it's just wonderful.
That's what I love the mostreally just being able to be
with family.
Sorry for giving you such along answer to a short question.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Oh, that's a lovely story.
That's pretty amazing, thankyou.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
So I always like to talk about the guest childhood.
It doesn't have to be anythingtraumatic or anything crazy, but
anything or maybe somethingfunny.
Whatever you want to shareabout your childhood, I just
think I don't know where ourinner child sometimes it's just
so neglected we don't evenrarely bring it up.
(25:16):
Um, and we unless you're doingyou know you're very into the
inner work is rare that that youkind of like work with your
inner child and do a lot of thisinner child healing stuff.
Um, so I always like to andthere's a reason I don't know I
just always feel called to bringthe inner child in to join us.
So just any story or anythingthat you want to share from
(25:39):
early, early on.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, yeah, you know.
It's interesting because in thePQ app, in the initial program
where you go through, there's anexercise where you do exactly
that you divide your life intocertain segments, so you divide
up your childhood.
And the question is, you know,something bad or unpleasant
(26:02):
happened, and how does that lookfrom today's perspective?
So I've done this exercise somany times because whenever I do
it with my clients, I do itmyself, and so when you ask me
or anybody asks me about mychildhood, I'm like, okay, is
this like a normal childhoodstory or is this a peak?
Okay with a gift andopportunity?
(26:23):
So they have somewhat merged.
But yes, thank you for asking.
As I said earlier, I had a veryprivileged childhood.
My parents were wealthy and Ihave two older siblings, so my
brother was seven years or isseven years older, my sister
(26:45):
eight years older.
So I always felt like I waslike an only child is seven
years older, my sister eightyears older.
So I always felt like I waslike an only child.
And my best friend growing up.
I met her at three years of ageat the playground.
Her name is Daisy, even thoughthat's not a German name.
Her name is Daisy.
She loved Daisy Duck, so shecalled herself Daisy.
So Daisy and I spent ourchildhood together and I always
(27:09):
felt like her family was reallymy family and they had a little
hobby farm and they would spendsummers there and they had
horses.
And I always loved horses Iride horses to this day but that
was sort of my childhood.
That's my really happy memoryof like.
At dinnertime her mom would sayhey, you know, I need some
(27:29):
fresh corn, can you hop on thehorses and get some from the
field?
And we would just race up tothis farmer's field and grab
them and come back and I'm sureshe just said that so we
wouldn't be in the way of thehouse.
But that was my beautifulchildhood and, as I said, I grew
(27:49):
up very privileged.
I had a very close relationshipwith my dad.
I know my dad is not a perfectperson but in a way he and I are
wired the same way and yeah, Ithink that's what I.
But I always, always wanted tolive somewhere else.
(28:10):
So when you grow up in a citylike Vienna, most people would
just live all their life there.
So for me, having this absolutedesire to live elsewhere and I
have I've lived in so manyplaces was kind of unusual, and
when you were talking about yourfamily, right.
So the price that came withthat was that I didn't live near
(28:31):
my family and um, because theywere all in Austria.
And so now ask me about mychild.
And now I'm coming back to mycurrent situation.
One of the things I love aboutmy life here in Melbourne Beach
is that my best friends and mypartner, their siblings, their
whole family is here, and so Ifeel like, oh, I have a family,
(28:55):
with all the ups and downs thatbrings.
You know, all the civilquandaries, no matter how old
people are, all the drama, allof this, and that we just went
on a vacation to Key West andafter that I said I need a break
.
But, um, it's just, it's justlovely to have family nearby.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, beautiful, and do you still have family in
austria?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I have my brother, okay, okay, all right, thanks,
okay, very nice and All right,Okay, Very nice.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And from the picture that you painted as a child, I
want to ask you do you ever wantto go back to live and kind of
like that same when you retireor later on?
Is that something kind of likein that type of lifestyle?
Do you see that?
Or do you feel more like you'vejust changed what you like or
(29:53):
what you're looking for ahead,Like what's coming ahead for you
?
Do you see?
Is there anything you couldshare that's not too personal?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, that's a really good question and, as you were
asking me, I realized that, umthe way Daisy and her family
lived in the summers it wastheir summer home um, it's a lot
like the way I live now.
You know, I I live on the water.
(30:22):
I have a horse.
I don't have her at home, but Ihave her nearby Part of a
really great riding community,and I do work four days a week.
So in a way I'm like ready onefoot into retirement.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
And.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Mondays are my day off, and just last Monday I
thought, oh, this is so amazinghow much this does for my soul.
This is why I love to work,because I don't work on Monday.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Okay, thanks for sharing.
Is there anything you'reworking on or anything about
your programs or anything thatyou want to share with our
listeners?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Sure, thank you.
So, as you know yourself, theinitial mental fitness program
that is part of the PQ app is aseven-week program, and I offer
that to clients in a groupsetting makes it more affordable
, more economically.
What it helps people is toconnect with their essence.
(31:29):
We talked about the inner child.
There's a lot of work onself-empathy, understanding
these saboteur voices that havebrought you from childhood into
adulthood.
Now it's time to chuck them.
So why I call it seven weeks tomastering your essence is
figuring out all thesecharacters in your head, all
(31:50):
these voices, and starting towork with them.
So that's the idea of themental fitness, and so I do that
in a seven week group program,and I announced them on LinkedIn
and on social media.
So, if you connect with me thatway, the name of my company is
Red Pants Coaching, so I hopethat you have to tell us about
(32:11):
that.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
You have to tell us about that name.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yes, yes, so that name was a funny coincidence.
My friend and fellow coachMarlies.
Her and I we kind of graduatedaround the same time and we
started having this idea ofcollaborating and she had won a
photo shoot from our localchamber of commerce and for some
reason she was wearing redpants.
(32:34):
And she came back with hundredsand hundreds of pictures of red
pants and we said that's it,red pants coaching.
I love that.
So authentic, awesome.
So back in the days when we didon-site team development right
before COVID, we'd always wearred pants.
That was our trademark.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Very cool.
I like that and I love what thecolor red stands for.
So it's very powerful, verybeautiful.
And what else do you offer?
You offer the group and youoffer the one-on-ones.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yes, the one-on-ones is usually a six-month program
where people want to do somedeeper work, but also takes them
through the mental fitness gym,but in a deeper way, in a
one-on-one setting, and what Itruly offer for anybody is a
free conversation with me.
So you'll find that on mywebsite, you'll find that on
(33:26):
LinkedInin.
This is just the idea of.
You know, I use the mentalfitness idea, the saboteurs um,
we talk about what it is thatthey want to achieve and then
I'll help them in that one hourto look at their own saboteurs
and see where they get in theway and start developing some
strategies.
So it's, it's kind of like ateaser, but it's also like where
(33:50):
we just did.
You know, what can somebody walkaway with?
So in an hour, you can walkaway with understanding that
there is something going on inyour head and there's different
ways to work with that.
One way is working with me andworking with the mental fitness
program, but work with somebodyelse as long as we discover that
(34:11):
, hey, you know, there's,there's a better future, there's
a way to quiet that noise,there is a way to be more in
that lighter part of your brainthank you so much for for
sharing a lot of your personalstuff and your childhood and
just a little bit of yourjourney and what it is that you
(34:35):
do and your mission in thisworld and how you're helping and
being of service.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
So guys have a conversation.
Okay, reach out, it doesn'thurt.
There are other ways.
Sometimes we don't look at allthe perspectives or all the
possibilities that are availableto us and we can definitely
benefit from someone that's beenthere it's done that before Um.
(35:12):
So Trixie has a long road ofbeing there, doing that and and
exploring with a lot of toolsthat she herself has um tested
in her own life, um and and herown journey.
You know, in one of the darkesttimes that she's been through
Um.
So she basically just being inalignment with the work that
she's doing, with what she'ssharing, and I personally love
that.
It's heart-centered.
To me, that is the key toanything that we do, and
(35:35):
everything that we do is reallythat connection to the heart.
To me, the connection to theheart is the connection to
source, to God, whatever youwant to call it, universe, so
just operating from that place,and I think many people as a
collective are shifting to that.
So I love that what you'rebringing into the space.
Thank you so much.
(35:56):
It's an honor to have had you.
Is there anything you want toleave the audience with or
anything else you want to share?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Well, I wanted to thank you, rosalia.
I had my own aha moments duringyour questions, so that is very
powerful, thank you, and foryour audience.
Really, just reach out to me ifyou're curious.
I always love to talk to people, I love to give.
I always say paid forward, andthat's what we're here for.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
So thank you again.
Thank you so much, trixie,pleasure to have you.
