00:02:15,963.33333333 --> 00:02:19,83.33333333 That my skin was always burning. 25 00:02:19,113.33333333 --> 00:02:28,233.33333333 And when I say burning, I would have to take cold compress towels and place on my chest, on my face just to suit myself. 26 00:02:28,263.33333333 --> 00:02:29,853.33333333 And I was like, this is crazy. 27 00:02:30,183.33333333 --> 00:02:36,753.33333333 So I went to the doctor and they gave me this pill and I had to take it from maybe like a course of five days. 28 00:02:36,783.33333333 --> 00:02:39,633.33333333 Now my, I felt like this was the holy grill. 29

00:03:26,413.33333333 So I made an appointment. 47 00:03:26,473.33333333 --> 00:03:29,983.33333333 Luckily I was able to get in that day, I was so excited. 48 00:03:29,983.33333333 -->

one bad experience with a dermatologist. 52 00:03:46,303.33333333 --> 00:03:52,33.33333333 This dermatologist was about an hour away and I was like, I don't even care as long as they can help me out. 53 00:03:52,363.33333333 --> 00:03:53,443.33333333 I'm cool with that. 54 00:03:53,713.33333333 --> 00:03:58,723.33333333 So, I got the pills again, that was working amazing. 55 00:03:58,723.33333333 --> 00:04:00,643.33333333 Of course it cleared up my skin. 56 00:04:01,243.33333333 --> 00:04:02,713.33333333 Went to the dermatologist. 57 00:04:02,773.33333333 --> 00:04:04,963.33333333 This was around March. 58 00:04:05,353.33333333 --> 00:04:08,293.33333333 So it took me a little bit to get into the dermatologist. 59 00:04:08,293.33333333 --> 00:04:11,473.33333333 When I went there, I told her everything that was going on. 60 00:04:11,533.33333333 --> 00:04:12,523.33333333 Luckily. 61 00:04:12,883.33333333 --> 00:04:15,43.33333333 I was in the middle of a flare up then. 62 00:04:15,43.33333333 --> 00:04:18,313.33333333 So mind you, it went from February to now, March. 63 00:04:18,403.33333333 --> 00:04:19,603.33333333 I mean, another flare up. 64 00:04:20,53.33333333 --> 00:04:21,823.33333333 She gave me the good pills again. 65 00:04:21,853.33333333 --> 00:04:24,373.33333333 And she also said, I'm going to put you on do Pixa. 66 00:04:24,373.33333333 --> 00:04:25,693.33333333 And I was like, okay, cool. 67 00:04:26,233.33333333 --> 00:04:33,223.33333333 Hopefully, this would be like, Me being able to maintain healthy skin without keep going back to the doctor. 68 00:04:33,253.33333333 --> 00:04:34,423.33333333 That's how I'm looking at it. 69 00:04:34,743.33333333 --> 00:04:37,443.33333333 we went to Florida for vacation. 70 00:04:37,833.33333333 --> 00:04:40,683.33333333 Had an amazing time while we was there. 71 00:04:41,13.33333333 --> 00:04:44,493.33333333 Oh course I had another flare up this time. 72 00:04:44,523.33333333 --> 00:04:46,533.33333333 It was horrible. 73 00:04:47,103.33333333 --> 00:04:48,3.33333333 Horrible. 74 00:04:48,33.33333333 --> 00:04:50,43.33333333 It was all on the right side of my face. 75 00:04:50,43.33333333 --> 00:05:02,583.33333333 I had this ooze and stuff coming out of my skin and I was like, what the heck is going on? But now I realize it was the humidity there that really triggered my eczema from dislike going crazy. 76 00:05:03,303.33333333 --> 00:05:10,143.33333333 So while I was in Florida, But my first batch of do picks up arrive. 77 00:05:10,143.33333333 --> 00:05:12,843.33333333 And that was right on time. 78 00:05:13,113.33333333 --> 00:05:27,483.33333333 So when we got back, of course, I went to the ER and they gave me the amazing pills again, and I took the pills, but then I started to do picks up so fast forward, I kept just talking about why my skin is burning. 79 00:05:28,23.33333333 --> 00:05:29,163.33333333 Now, here's the thing. 80 00:05:29,223.33333333 --> 00:05:31,773.33333333 I love AI from this perspective. 81 00:05:32,673.33333333 --> 00:05:34,563.33333333 AI started targeting me. 82 00:05:34,563.33333333 --> 00:05:38,643.33333333 Aren't you too, based off what I was saying in my house. 83 00:05:38,643.33333333 --> 00:05:51,613.33333333 So this is one time that I can say that I love AI And I started seeing all of these stories about people who was on steroids for many of years and how they started having TSW withdrawals. 84 00:05:52,63.33333333 --> 00:06:03,153.33333333 And how they were pretty much now trying to heal their gut, heal their body So I'm in the beginning where I'm learning that I realized I have it in the middle of this for maybe about a year or so. 85 00:06:03,153.33333333 --> 00:06:04,713.33333333 And I didn't even realize it. 86 00:06:05,43.33333333 --> 00:06:16,93.33333333 So when I think about my business and how I'm starting to treat my body and the things that I have to do when it comes to self care, And some days it may impact my productivity. 87 00:06:16,483.33333333 --> 00:06:21,283.33333333 I'm so grateful that I built a business around just sustainability. 88 00:06:21,613.33333333 --> 00:06:23,473.33333333 And prioritizing my health. 89 00:06:23,473.33333333 --> 00:06:24,313.33333333 With this. 90 00:06:24,613.33333333 --> 00:06:25,873.33333333 Diagnosis. 91 00:06:26,143.33333333 --> 00:06:32,803.33333333 I would say ni being able to work out, manage my stress, manage my flare ups. 92 00:06:32,883.33333333 --> 00:06:39,693.33333333 It's allowing me to show up still and build the business I love, but also prioritizing me. 93 00:06:39,993.33333333 --> 00:06:42,153.33333333 I'm able to plan out my meals. 94 00:06:42,483.33333333 --> 00:06:44,583.33333333 Eat my meals when I supposed to. 95 00:06:44,853.33333333 --> 00:06:54,63.33333333 And also get to bed at a decent time to maintain my energy level and also for my body to heal itself during the night. 96 00:06:54,423.33333333 --> 00:06:56,373.33333333 Well, we do not get the proper sleep. 97 00:06:56,673.33333333 --> 00:06:59,493.33333333 Our bodies are not able to recover. 98 00:06:59,743.33333333 --> 00:07:03,673.33333333 now I have really tried to cut back on the sugars. 99 00:07:03,723.33333333 --> 00:07:08,673.33333333 The hardest thing I'm going to have to do is remove eggs and like I'm building up for that. 100 00:07:08,673.33333333 --> 00:07:18,693.33333333 I'm just going to take it day by day when it comes to the eggs, but it's just giving myself the proper amount of proteins and changing up the products that I use on my body. 101 00:07:19,133.33333333 --> 00:07:28,373.33333333 And just being very mindful Now, some people go all out when it comes to healing their body with TSW, they don't use any type of moisturizing or lotion. 102 00:07:28,713.33333333 --> 00:07:34,173.33333333 they just allowed their body to go without any type of moisture for like months. 103 00:07:34,443.33333333 --> 00:07:36,963.33333333 It let all the dead skin like fall off. 104 00:07:36,963.33333333 --> 00:07:38,283.33333333 I know that sounds pretty gross. 105 00:07:38,703.33333333 --> 00:07:54,503.33333333 but I just can't maybe in October, I'm going to give this a try from October to November because I heard it could be very healthy for people with eczema, but we're just going to take it slow right now because I can't be walking around here looking at Ashley and my skin falling off like that just ain't me. 106 00:07:54,743.33333333 --> 00:08:03,993.33333333 So, Now I'm just trying to integrate more health into my business strategy when it comes to structuring my work day and how I'm going to accommodate my health. 107 00:08:04,233.33333333 --> 00:08:06,93.33333333 My health is so important right now. 108 00:08:06,123.33333333 --> 00:08:07,623.33333333 Like I love my business. 109 00:08:07,623.33333333 --> 00:08:09,93.33333333 I love serving you guys. 110 00:08:09,93.33333333 --> 00:08:13,923.33333333 We had an amazing coaching call yesterday inside of savvy SEO. 111 00:08:14,563.33333333 --> 00:08:17,473.33333333 but I have to prioritize my health right now. 112 00:08:17,743.33333333 --> 00:08:26,53.33333333 I have to make sure that I have the flexibility in my business to allow me to take breaks when I want to. 113 00:08:26,263.33333333 --> 00:08:31,603.33333333 So the last thing I want to talk about really quickly is just my mindfulness and stress. 114 00:08:31,633.33333333 --> 00:08:32,923.33333333 Like, I didn't know. 115 00:08:33,223.33333333 --> 00:08:36,793.33333333 How much stress plays into TSW. 116 00:08:36,793.33333333 --> 00:08:48,133.33333333 And when I look at what transpire over the past two years of my life, I can see what kind of like propelled this and kinda made it like, just go haywire for me. 117 00:08:48,583.33333333 --> 00:08:56,353.33333333 So, you know, when it comes to practicing mindfulness and also meditating and doing yoga and just managing my stress. 118 00:08:56,923.33333333 --> 00:08:59,53.33333333 Those are helping me out a lot. 119 00:08:59,83.33333333 --> 00:09:03,403.33333333 When it comes to also just get into bed on time, drinking a gallon of water a day. 120 00:09:03,613.33333333 --> 00:09:09,133.33333333 Now I know a lot of people in the TSW community, they like go all in. 121 00:09:09,163.33333333 --> 00:09:11,113.33333333 They only drink a little bit of water. 122 00:09:11,323.33333333 --> 00:09:15,733.33333333 They make sure that they have minimal fluids in their body just to allow. 123 00:09:16,243.33333333 --> 00:09:17,983.33333333 Their bodies to dry out. 124 00:09:18,13.33333333 --> 00:09:21,223.33333333 If we're into produce its own oil. 125 00:09:21,253.33333333 --> 00:09:22,753.33333333 Yo, I'm not there yet. 126 00:09:22,783.33333333 --> 00:09:32,313.33333333 I love water So when it does come to the TSW dislike, anything else, just staying connected with amazing supportive groups. 127 00:09:32,343.33333333 --> 00:09:36,513.33333333 I could go in there and see myself getting better on the other side. 128 00:09:36,513.33333333 --> 00:09:37,53.33333333 So. 129 00:09:38,373.33333333 --> 00:09:48,843.33333333 I noticed was a lot, not my typical giving you strategies, but one thing that I can tell you when it comes to how you do your personal life is also going to be how you do your business. 130 00:09:49,173.33333333 --> 00:10:05,873.33333333 And one thing that we cannot overlook is just learning how to have a healthy balance between work and personal and prioritizing our health And a lot of times we don't meet them because we're not prioritizing ourselves and we feel burnt out. 131 00:10:05,873.33333333 --> 00:10:07,683.33333333 So therefore, we can't go live. 132 00:10:07,683.33333333 --> 00:10:08,763.33333333 We don't record the podcast. 133 00:10:08,763.33333333 --> 00:10:09,273.33333333 Podcast. 134 00:10:09,273.33333333 --> 00:10:12,273.33333333 We don't send out the email because we have no energy. 135 00:10:12,633.33333333 --> 00:10:17,943.33333333 And I realize now in this season and where I'm at, my energy is everything. 136 00:10:17,943.33333333 --> 00:10:20,823.33333333 Because when I show up, I don't want to have do things. 137 00:10:20,823.33333333 --> 00:10:24,273.33333333 I want to make sure that I'm showing up and pouring into my community. 138 00:10:24,453.33333333 --> 00:10:34,403.33333333 So when it comes to managing my health and Maintaining a healthy diet to support my gut health and also integrate in my health, into my business strategy. 139 00:10:34,673.33333333 --> 00:10:45,913.33333333 It's a lot, but you have to remember, you have to prioritize your health, not just for managing symptoms, but also It allows you to have a healthier lifestyle. 140 00:10:46,93.33333333 --> 00:10:50,443.33333333 That's going to Support your personal wellbeing and also your professional success. 141 00:10:50,863.33333333 --> 00:10:51,583.33333333 It's a journey. 142 00:10:52,123.33333333 --> 00:11:00,433.33333333 And every step you take towards a better health is a step towards a more sustainable and fulfilling business. 143 00:11:00,613.33333333 --> 00:11:06,433.33333333 So that's something that I'm wanting to come on here and talk about because I pull back a lot from social media. 144 00:11:06,763.33333333 --> 00:11:15,983.33333333 I'll post once a day over on Instagram, but I'm not on there as heavy as I used to, because one, I realized my most aligned leads come from my podcast. 145 00:11:16,283.33333333

00:02:15,963.33333333 --> 00:02:19,83.33333333 That my skin was always burning. 25 00:02:19,113.33333333 --> 00:02:28,233.33333333 And when I say burning, I would have to take cold compress towels and place on my chest, on my face just to suit myself. 26 00:02:28,263.33333333 --> 00:02:29,853.33333333 And I was like, this is crazy. 27 00:02:30,183.33333333 --> 00:02:36,753.33333333 So I went to the doctor and they gave me this pill and I had to take it from maybe like a course of five days. 28 00:02:36,783.33333333 --> 00:02:39,633.33333333 Now my, I felt like this was the holy grill. 29

00:02:45,273.33333333 Not knowing that it was a steroid. 32 00:02:45,303.33333333 --> 00:02:47,883.33333333 Awards and it was going to come back again. 33 00:02:48,273.33333333 --> 00:02:50,823.33333333 So fast forward, this happened in June. 34 00:02:51,813.33333333 --> 00:02:53,253.33333333 Come December. 35 00:02:53,283.33333333 --> 00:02:54,753.33333333 Same thing happened again. 36 00:02:54,783.33333333 --> 00:02:58,863.33333333 And I went to the doctor and I was like, Hey, you know, I'm dealing with X eczema. 37 00:02:58,863.33333333 --> 00:03:00,873.33333333 Flare up

00:03:26,413.33333333 So I made an appointment. 47 00:03:26,473.33333333 --> 00:03:29,983.33333333 Luckily I was able to get in that day, I was so excited. 48 00:03:29,983.33333333 -->

one bad experience with a dermatologist. 52 00:03:46,303.33333333 --> 00:03:52,33.33333333 This dermatologist was about an hour away and I was like, I don't even care as long as they can help me out. 53 00:03:52,363.33333333 --> 00:03:53,443.33333333 I'm cool with that. 54 00:03:53,713.33333333 --> 00:03:58,723.33333333 So, I got the pills again, that was working amazing. 55 00:03:58,723.33333333 --> 00:04:00,643.33333333 Of course it cleared up my skin. 56 00:04:01,243.33333333 --> 00:04:02,713.33333333 Went to the dermatologist. 57 00:04:02,773.33333333 --> 00:04:04,963.33333333 This was around March. 58 00:04:05,353.33333333 --> 00:04:08,293.33333333 So it took me a little bit to get into the dermatologist. 59 00:04:08,293.33333333 --> 00:04:11,473.33333333 When I went there, I told

00:04:15,43.33333333 --> 00:04:18,313.33333333 So mind you, it went from February to now, March. 63 00:04:18,403.33333333 --> 00:04:19,603.33333333 I mean, another flare up. 64 00:04:20,53.33333333 --> 00:04:21,823.33333333 She gave me the good pills again. 65 00:04:21,853.33333333 --> 00:04:24,373.33333333 And she also said, I'm going to put you on do Pixa. 66 00:04:24,373.33333333 --> 00:04:25,693.33333333 And I was like, okay, cool. 67 00:04:26,233.33333333 --> 00:04:33,223.33333333 Hopefully, this would be like, Me being able to maintain healthy skin without keep going back to the doctor. 68 00:04:33,253.33333333 --> 00:04:34,423.33333333 That's how I'm looking at it. 69 00:04:34,743.33333333 --> 00:04:37,443.33333333 we went to Florida for vacation. 70 00:04:37,833.33333333 --> 00:04:40,683.33333333 Had an amazing time while we was there. 71 00:04:41,13.33333333 --> 00:04:44,493.33333333 Oh course I had another flare up this time. 72 00:04:44,523.33333333 --> 00:04:46,533.33333333 It was horrible. 73 00:04:47,103.33333333 --> 00:04:48,3.33333333 Horrible. 74 00:04:48,33.33333333 --> 00:04:50,43.33333333 It was all on the right side of my face. 75 00:04:50,43.33333333 --> 00:05:02,583.33333333 I had this ooze and stuff coming out of my skin and I was like, what the heck is going on? But now I realize it was the humidity there that really triggered my eczema from dislike going crazy. 76 00:05:03,303.33333333 --> 00:05:10,143.33333333 So while I was in Florida, But my first batch of do picks up arrive. 77 00:05:10,143.33333333 --> 00:05:12,843.33333333 And that was right on time. 78 00:05:13,113.33333333 --> 00:05:27,483.33333333 So when we got back, of course, I went to the ER and they gave me the amazing pills again, and I took the pills, but then I started to do picks up so fast forward, I kept just talking about why my skin is burning. 79 00:05:28,23.33333333 --> 00:05:29,163.33333333 Now, here's the thing. 80 00:05:29,223.33333333 --> 00:05:31,773.33333333 I love AI from this perspective. 81 00:05:32,673.33333333 --> 00:05:34,563.33333333 AI started targeting me. 82 00:05:34,563.33333333 --> 00:05:38,643.33333333 Aren't you too, based off what I was saying in my house. 83 00:05:38,643.33333333 --> 00:05:51,613.33333333 So this is one time that I can say that I love AI And I started seeing all of these stories about people who was on steroids for many of years and how they started having TSW withdrawals. 84 00:05:52,63.33333333 --> 00:06:03,153.33333333 And how they were pretty much now trying to heal their gut, heal their body So I'm in the beginning where I'm learning that I realized I have it in the middle of this for maybe about a year or so. 85 00:06:03,153.33333333 --> 00:06:04,713.33333333 And I didn't even realize it. 86 00:06:05,43.33333333 --> 00:06:16,93.33333333 So when I think about my business and how I'm starting to treat my body and the things that I have to do when it comes to self care, And some days it may impact my productivity. 87 00:06:16,483.33333333 --> 00:06:21,283.33333333 I'm so grateful that I built a business around just sustainability. 88 00:06:21,613.33333333 --> 00:06:23,473.33333333 And prioritizing my health. 89 00:06:23,473.33333333 --> 00:06:24,313.33333333 With this. 90 00:06:24,613.33333333 --> 00:06:25,873.33333333 Diagnosis. 91 00:06:26,143.33333333 --> 00:06:32,803.33333333 I would say ni being able to work out, manage my stress, manage my flare ups. 92 00:06:32,883.33333333 --> 00:06:39,693.33333333 It's allowing me to show up still and build the business I love, but also prioritizing me. 93 00:06:39,993.33333333 --> 00:06:42,153.33333333 I'm able to plan out my meals. 94 00:06:42,483.33333333 --> 00:06:44,583.33333333 Eat my meals when I supposed to. 95 00:06:44,853.33333333 --> 00:06:54,63.33333333 And also get to bed at a decent time to maintain my energy level and also for my body to heal itself during the night. 96 00:06:54,423.33333333 --> 00:06:56,373.33333333 Well, we do not get the proper sleep. 97 00:06:56,673.33333333 --> 00:06:59,493.33333333 Our bodies are not able to recover. 98 00:06:59,743.33333333 --> 00:07:03,673.33333333 now I have really tried to cut back on the sugars. 99 00:07:03,723.33333333 --> 00:07:08,673.33333333 The hardest thing I'm going to have to do is remove eggs and like I'm building up for that. 100 00:07:08,673.33333333 --> 00:07:18,693.33333333 I'm just going to take it day by day when it comes to the eggs, but it's just giving myself the proper amount of proteins and changing up the products that I use on my body. 101 00:07:19,133.33333333 --> 00:07:28,373.33333333 And just being very mindful Now, some people go all out when it comes to healing their body with TSW, they don't use any type of moisturizing or lotion. 102 00:07:28,713.33333333 --> 00:07:34,173.33333333 they just allowed their body to go without any type of moisture for like months. 103 00:07:34,443.33333333 --> 00:07:36,963.33333333 It let all the dead skin like fall off. 104 00:07:36,963.33333333 --> 00:07:38,283.33333333 I know that sounds pretty gross. 105 00:07:38,703.33333333 --> 00:07:54,503.33333333 but I just can't maybe in October, I'm going to give this a try from October to November because I heard it could be very healthy for people with eczema, but we're just going to take it slow right now because I can't be walking around here looking at Ashley and my skin falling off like that just ain't me. 106 00:07:54,743.33333333 --> 00:08:03,993.33333333 So, Now I'm just trying to integrate more health into my business strategy when it comes to structuring my work day and how I'm going to accommodate my health. 107 00:08:04,233.33333333 --> 00:08:06,93.33333333 My health is so important right now. 108 00:08:06,123.33333333 --> 00:08:07,623.33333333 Like I love my business. 109 00:08:07,623.33333333 --> 00:08:09,93.33333333 I love serving you guys. 110 00:08:09,93.33333333 --> 00:08:13,923.33333333 We had an amazing coaching call yesterday inside of savvy SEO. 111 00:08:14,563.33333333 --> 00:08:17,473.33333333 but I have to prioritize my health right now. 112 00:08:17,743.33333333 --> 00:08:26,53.33333333 I have to make sure that I have the flexibility in my business to allow me to take breaks when I want to. 113 00:08:26,263.33333333 --> 00:08:31,603.33333333 So the last thing I want to talk about really quickly is just my mindfulness and stress. 114 00:08:31,633.33333333 --> 00:08:32,923.33333333 Like, I didn't know. 115 00:08:33,223.33333333 --> 00:08:36,793.33333333 How much stress plays into TSW. 116 00:08:36,793.33333333 --> 00:08:48,133.33333333 And when I look at what transpire over the past two years of my life, I can see what kind of like propelled this and kinda made it like, just go haywire for me. 117 00:08:48,583.33333333 --> 00:08:56,353.33333333 So, you know, when it comes to practicing mindfulness and also meditating and doing yoga and just managing my stress. 118 00:08:56,923.33333333 --> 00:08:59,53.33333333 Those are helping me out a lot. 119 00:08:59,83.33333333 --> 00:09:03,403.33333333 When it comes to also just get into bed on time, drinking a gallon of water a day. 120 00:09:03,613.33333333 --> 00:09:09,133.33333333 Now I know a lot of people in the TSW community, they like go all in. 121 00:09:09,163.33333333 --> 00:09:11,113.33333333 They only drink a little bit of water. 122 00:09:11,323.33333333 --> 00:09:15,733.33333333 They make sure that they have minimal fluids in their body just to allow. 123 00:09:16,243.33333333 --> 00:09:17,983.33333333 Their bodies to dry out. 124 00:09:18,13.33333333 --> 00:09:21,223.33333333 If we're into produce its own oil. 125 00:09:21,253.33333333 --> 00:09:22,753.33333333 Yo, I'm not there yet. 126 00:09:22,783.33333333 --> 00:09:32,313.33333333 I love water So when it does come to the TSW dislike, anything else, just staying connected with amazing supportive groups. 127 00:09:32,343.33333333 --> 00:09:36,513.33333333 I could go in there and see myself getting better on the other side. 128 00:09:36,513.33333333 --> 00:09:37,53.33333333 So. 129 00:09:38,373.33333333 --> 00:09:48,843.33333333 I noticed was a lot, not my typical giving you strategies, but one thing that I can tell you when it comes to how you do your personal life is also going to be how you do your business. 130 00:09:49,173.33333333 --> 00:10:05,873.33333333 And one thing that we cannot overlook is just learning how to have a healthy balance between work and personal and prioritizing our health And a lot of times we don't meet them because we're not prioritizing ourselves and we feel burnt out. 131 00:10:05,873.33333333 --> 00:10:07,683.33333333 So therefore, we can't go live. 132 00:10:07,683.33333333 --> 00:10:08,763.33333333 We don't record the podcast. 133 00:10:08,763.33333333 --> 00:10:09,273.33333333 Podcast. 134 00:10:09,273.33333333 --> 00:10:12,273.33333333 We don't send out the email because we have no energy. 135 00:10:12,633.33333333 --> 00:10:17,943.33333333 And I realize now in this season and where I'm at, my energy is everything. 136 00:10:17,943.33333333 --> 00:10:20,823.33333333 Because when I show up, I don't want to have do things. 137 00:10:20,823.33333333 --> 00:10:24,273.33333333 I want to make sure that I'm showing up and pouring into my community. 138 00:10:24,453.33333333 --> 00:10:34,403.33333333 So when it comes to managing my health and Maintaining a healthy diet to support my gut health and also integrate in my health, into my business strategy. 139 00:10:34,673.33333333 --> 00:10:45,913.33333333 It's a lot, but you have to remember, you have to prioritize your health, not just for managing symptoms, but also It allows you to have a healthier lifestyle. 140 00:10:46,93.33333333 --> 00:10:50,443.33333333 That's going to Support your personal wellbeing and also your professional success. 141 00:10:50,863.33333333 --> 00:10:51,583.33333333 It's a journey. 142 00:10:52,123.33333333 --> 00:11:00,433.33333333 And every step you take towards a better health is a step towards a more sustainable and fulfilling business. 143 00:11:00,613.33333333 --> 00:11:06,433.33333333 So that's something that I'm wanting to come on here and talk about because I pull back a lot from social media. 144 00:11:06,763.33333333 --> 00:11:15,983.33333333 I'll post once a day over on Instagram, but I'm not on there as heavy as I used to, because one, I realized my most aligned leads come from my podcast. 145 00:11:16,283.33333333
