From corporate burnout to digital nomad freedom, Jamie's journey demonstrates how breaking free from hustle culture and embracing gratitude can unlock authentic abundance and joy.

• How to shift from task completion to meaningful prioritization
• The difference between chasing success and designing an aligned life
• Practical gratitude exercises that attract genuine abundance

• Why silence and self-intimacy are essential for authentic living
💫 Jamie's Transformation Story: Growing up in an unstable, abusive household with parents struggling with addiction, Jamie decided early on to be "not that." After getting clean, she threw herself into the hustle - business degree, corporate ladder climbing, checking all the "success" boxes. Despite looking perfect on paper with a great job, marriage, and lifestyle in Chicago, she developed severe anxiety and debilitating OCD that left her unable to function.
⚡ The Breaking Point: "I had done everything right. I was following the rule book. But underneath all of that, I had severe anxiety and panic attacks so bad I couldn't get out of bed. Everything was falling apart, and I couldn't understand why because I had done all the things I was supposed to do."
🌟 The Gratitude Revolution: After quitting her corporate job with no plan, Jamie discovered that gratitude literally saved her life multiple times. In moments of complete surrender and rock bottom experiences, focusing on simple blessings - breathing, tasting food, hearing birds sing - became her pathway back to abundance and authentic success.

🔥 The Hustle Culture Trap: Jamie reveals how hustle culture creates the illusion of productivity through:
- Task Completion Over Prioritization - Filling to-do lists with busy work instead of meaningful action
- Reactive vs. Proactive Thinking - Putting out fires instead of building for the future
- Quick Wins Addiction - Focusing on what can be checked off today rather than what moves the needle forward
- Burnout Cycle - Feeling exhausted and depleted while seeing no real progress
- Three Good Things Method (University of Berkeley study) - Write down 3 good things daily
- Ten Blessings Approach - Start small with simple things like working ears or morning coffee
- Build momentum - Once you start, finding 10 things becomes natural
- Leave sticky note love letters around your house
- Write notes on your coffee maker, mirror, and other daily touchpoints
- Create future love letters to yourself and hide them to find later
- Treat yourself with the same care you'd give a loved one
- Identify Your True Values - Not what others say is important, but what feels important to YOU
- Find Your Top 5 - What are your non-negotiables?
- Do an Alignment Audit - Where are you honoring your values vs. living others' expectations?
- Course Correct - Make decisions based on your authentic values
- "Gratitude has saved my life more times than I can count"
- "When I'm grateful for what I have, I only get more. It never fails every time"
- "We chase these ideas of success, but if it's not who we are, it can all unravel"
- "The most intimate relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself"
- "At our core, we are love embodied - we just lose that so easily"
- "Your story is just as valuable and important as long as it's yours"

Comfortable right now and just close your eyes for a moment,
take a deep breath in, feel the breath and move
through your chest and your belly, and as you excel,
I want you to let go of any tension. I
want you to imagine a soft golden light of gratitude
(04:48):
filling your art space. And when you breathe in, I
want you to breathe in abundance and breathe out scarcity.
Now I want you to say to yourself, I am grateful,
I am enough, abundance flows to me. Take one more
(05:17):
final deep breath there, ex hell Na, gently open your eyes,
bringing that intention with you.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Until this moment.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
All right, my beautiful people, again, thank you for sharing
that space with me. And again, if you are new
here to the Season and Cephalo podcast, it's something that
we do every day Monday through Friday, just to ground us.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Before we get into the topic in hand, I.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Want to share a little personal note with you all
on one of the reasons of why I said that
we were going to do this this series this month.
Next month is my birthday and in October, and I've
always do.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Well.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Actually, this is the first year that we went the
whole year of every day well, every day Monday through
Friday with the Season and Steff Love Well usually take
a nice little break in the summertime. And I'm just
coming out of doing my ex plant. We're removing my
my implants. But even through the process of all of that,
I've what I've been learning through my whole healing process,
(06:24):
even creating the season self Love and is that I.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Was a hustler. I just always hustled, go go, go,
go go, and but through that.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I didn't I didn't have any happiness. I didn't have
any happiness for at all. You know, for years I
thought that success meant for me to stay busy. And
I think that's what a lot of us think, is
that if we constantly moving, we're constantly doing something, that
we are going to be successful and then we.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Should be happy in that process.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
But what it does, it makes us exhausted. But then
it also it makes us fulfilled because we're chasing something.
You know, we're chasing something and don't know what it is.
But when I had realized that I share with you
last year is that I was diagnosed with vertical because
I was doing so much, just going all just all
(07:17):
off balance. And that's when I knew that you have
to slow down. You have to slow down, and you
have to live in a moment. That's one thing, Jamie,
what we've learned, especially early on this year, this is
the call our year of the Rebirth, is that with
secreticity and seeing the signs of things you know, and
how things play out in the line. You know, how
(07:38):
you have some thing, it's like, okay, it's going to
happen this way and then God in the universe has
something totally different for you. And as I went going
through life this year, it has been amazing, but it
also has been one of those like, ah, that's what
it is. Two years ago, my mom was diagnosed with
(08:00):
dimension and I'm her caregiver. And in the beginning of that,
I remember trying to I was doing research, trying to
find everything possible that I can help cure that without medication.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You know, I tried to do everything.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
And I remember the first maybe six months of her
diagnose as well as me doing all of my business
trying to do everything. I remember just being like, oh
my god, I don't know if I'm going to be
able to do all of this. And I remember my
mom was talking to me, and she was talking to
me about something back.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
In the day.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
She wasn't here with me in this moment, and I
remember I had to pause for a moment and.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I had to go back there with her.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
But it was in the present moment, and that's when
I truly realizes that hold on.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You have to be in the present moment. You have
to understand what it is that you have.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You know, you yes, your mom she you know back
there sometimes that you have her here with you.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Save that's gratitude.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Look around you, look around the people who you've met,
the new life that you created, this new journey.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
This is all that we need to be gracious for.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
And so then I said, I'm going to wake up
every morning with gratitude, with gratitude, just speaking gratitude, thanking
God for everything as soon as I wake up in
the morning, creating different exercises even to share with them there.
And so gratitude for me has been my anchor, has
been my anchor, and it's helped me to reset, you
(09:37):
know when we have a nice little glow and nice
little and that's really where rebirth came from. You know,
that's exactly where it came from, for the reset, for
the recenter of that.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
But that's what brings us here today.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And I'm so excited just reading over your profile and
everything like that. I am so excited for our listeners
to hear exactly what you have to offer and what
you are doing with it. So this is what I
want to ask you, Jamie. You've been very passionate about
helping women to break free from their burnout in hustle culture.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Can you share what.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Inspired this mission and how it relates to cultivating gratitude.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Yeah, absolutely, and thank you so much for sharing that
story about your mother. I totally resonate with that and
feel the power behind what gratitude can do for you.
And I think, just on my own personal note, gratitude
has saved my life more times than I can count.
But yeah, what really inspired me to do the work
(10:39):
that I do is I experienced my own burnout from
buying into hustle culture, and a lot of what drove
me to hustle and to succeed was coming from a
toxic background. I came from a family that was very unstable.
My parents divorced when I was young. My stepfather was
(11:01):
an abusive monster. My mother got really into drugs and alcohol,
as was he. He was in and out of jail.
It was just a really unsafe, unstable place to be.
And I think growing up like that, I decided somewhere
in my mind that I was going to be not that.
And I spent the first part of my early adulthood
(11:23):
being exactly that and having to kind of unlearn sort
of this pattern of using substances as comfort things of
that nature and then I was like, you know what,
I'm gonna get my shit together. I'm going to turn
my life around. I'm going to be so successful. So
I went to school, I got a business degree. I
(11:44):
started working in call centers. I started as just a
phone rip, worked my way up the ladder. I was
working all the time. I was bringing work home with me.
I was going, going, going, going, And I spent all
these years just ticking boxes. Got a degree to got
a good job, Tick, got a four to oh one K, Tick,
married a great guy. Tick, got a great apartment. I
(12:07):
was living in Chicago, living my hashtag best life, as
they say, and I thought I was there, great job,
great life. Everything looked good on paper. I was up
at five am going to the gym. I meditated for
thirty minutes, splashed, fell asleep to music for thirty minutes
until the alarm went off and I had to go
(12:27):
to work. But I was doing everything the way I
was supposed to. I was doing it right. I was successful.
And underneath all of that, I had severe anxiety. I
started to develop really bad OCD symptoms to the point
where I couldn't I couldn't get out of bed, and
(12:48):
I didn't like I just couldn't move. I had such
debilitating panic attacks that I started calling in sick to
work all the time. My performance started to plummet, my
marriage was unraveling. Everything was just starting to fall apart.
And I couldn't quite understand because I had done everything right.
I did all the things I was supposed to do.
(13:09):
I was following the rule book. I was doing it.
I was doing it, and I just finally reached a
breaking point. And at that point, I quit my corporate
job and I was like, you know what, I can't
do it anymore. Had no idea what the hell I
was going to do with myself, but I knew I
had to. I just knew I had to quit. And
throughout that process, I really just started to learn a
(13:32):
lot about who I am, what really matters to me,
what is success really? Because as I have uncovered more
and more about myself and my truth and what matters
to me and found my alignment, I have learned that
we chase these ideas of what it means to be successful.
We chase this picture, we chase this this certain salary,
(13:57):
certain yeah, this certain look, and we want to look
Instagram perfect. Because thanks social media for completely disillusion us.
But we tries so hard and if it's not who
we are, if it's not really what's important to us,
then it can all unravel and fall apart. And when
(14:20):
I finally started to understand that and started to really
find that gratitude just to be grateful, you know what,
I am so grateful that I am up today, I
am moving, my body's working, I'm breathing air. I understand
who I am. I can speak, I can see, I
can hear, I can taste, I can smell, I can
do all these things. Life is a true miracle. And
(14:43):
kind of understanding how to live into that gratitude was
such a game changer for me, and you know, I'm
throughout all of that. It led me to do what
I do now, which is coaching, and it also led
me to become a digital nomad and a world traveler
and an author and all these other things. So I
think it really unlocks so much for you when you
(15:05):
can let go of the of the script of the blueprint, yeah,
and just dive deep, deep into yourself and have such
gratitude for the life that you've been given.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Yeah, you know, I love how you say to let
go of the script and the blueprint. You know, I
think what we we don't realize is that our script
and our blueprint is written for us. But it's so
good when we start to wake up and understand that's
not our story, that's not our script, that is not
our blueprint, you know. And it's one thing that I
(15:38):
tell my listeners all the time. It's even the things
that we go through in life. Do those trials, those traumas,
those triviulations of things that you know all of that,
those are tools. Those are amazing tools, and I sometimes
call them gifts that we have to apply them in
what our life is today, what our God given life is.
(16:00):
And when we realize where we at in this moment,
you know that that puts on extra for us to
love our life or fall in love with our life.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Fall in love with your life.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Not with the life that people think you should have,
you know, what your parents think you should be or whatever,
but the love that you you fall in love with you,
and that's all what self love is about, is to
have life around you and being gracious on what you have,
whether it's little or small.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
You know, like you said, just a breath that I
when I wake up in the morning. That's amazing because
do you know how many people didn't?
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Nothing, tell us is the year twenty twenty the year two?
We should have had our eyes wide open and understand that.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
We need to be gracious of today.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know, it's funny that you
bring up twenty twenty because I don't know if you this,
but I know I have, and a lot of people
I've spoken to you have. But after twenty twenty and
everything unlocked, after we were all locked down and wearing
masks and all of that, when everything unlocked, it feels
like someone hit the fast forward button, like twenty twenty
(17:15):
was five years ago? When the hell did that happen?
You know? And that's the hustle. It's like, instead of
paying attention and waking up, we just fell right back
into it and then multiplied it by ten. We decided
to ten x our hustle instead of learning how to
stay in the moment and stay grounded in that gratitude.
(17:38):
And I love what you said about falling in love
with yourself. That's so true. I think self love has
become a buzzword. It's a hashtag now, and I don't
know that we're really taking the time to understand what
self love actually means. It means being grateful for the
light that you've been given. It means sitting in your
mess or your success, either or and loving it either way.
(18:02):
Just loving that you've been given the opportunity to either
learn from this mess that you're sitting in, or that
you've been given the opportunity to really enjoy the blessings
that you're sitting in. And like all of it is
a blessing.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, and bless someone else. I don't mean to cut
you off, but to bless you someone else.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah, bless someone else.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I'm going to go back to twenty twenty, and I
believe I think we all missed it. I think we
all missed the message of twenty twenty. Twenty twenty was for.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
All of us to stay still. Yeah, twenty twenty was
for all of.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Us to stay still. And I remember going through my
spiritual awakening. It was already before, but it's just really
like intensified then.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
In twenty twenty. So I didn't go as hard with
my hustle.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I went more hard with my spiritual and looking with
them myself. During twenty twenty I'm still not outside like
I used to. So I stayed close to myself and
I stayed grounded, and I stayed you.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Know, to build a spiritual you know thing.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
But I think a lot of us missed that whole
point because we didn't know how because, as you said,
we were in that the Houstole culture, and now were
in the comparison. You know, social media has maybe to
where we're comparing our lives to other people lives, but
instead of if we're going to be influenced by them,
influenced by them, you know, by using I love the
DIY people. I love them because take something nothing and
(19:29):
make it into something so amazing. So if you think
that if you use that in your own life, whether
it's a piece of paper or a cardboard, and you
could make some amazing things with that, that right there
is that's a message.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
That's a tool.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I'd be grateful for the little things that you have
and you could just make it look so amazing.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Yeah. Yeah, well, and I love what you said about
being inspired by what we see. I think that's so
important because we do see a lot of different things
on social media, and I think what the tendency is
is instead of being inspired, we're instead comparing, and there's
that whole mentality compare and despair. I'm not there yet,
(20:12):
how do I get there? And I think it's also
created this impression that somehow we're all going to be
millionaires overnight as long as you buy this course that's
on sale today for seventy nine to ninety nine. Like
it's what you're seeing is someone's years and years and
years and years of figuring stuff out and finally getting
(20:33):
to the point where they could do what they're doing.
And it looks like overnight's success, but it's not. And
your story is just as valuable. This is important as
long as it's yours. Like, use it for inspiration, to
unlock whatever is inside of you, don't use it as
(20:54):
a reason to say, oh, I'm not able to do anything.
Let me just try and do exactly what they're doing. Oh,
exactly what they're doing. And it didn't work. I quit,
Like that's not that's not what that's for.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, yeah, you know, thank you are so right, Thank
you for sharing. And so I got a question for you.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
You know, many women feel caught in that myth that
more work equals more success. I know that it was me,
That was me. How does that whole hustle culture hinder
genuine productivity in happiness.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Yeah, that's a great question. And you know, this is
something that I talk about a lot when I do workshops,
especially for corporates. So when we get into this idea
that busy equals productive, we start to now focus on
task completion instead of prioritization. So we're just trying to
(21:46):
fill up our to do lists with as many little
things as we possibly can, and we try to get
those quote unquote quick wins, like let me see all
the things I can tick off of my list today.
Next thing you know, you've ticked everything off of your list.
You feel like you've been busy, running around like a
checking with your head cut off all day long. You
get to the end of the day, you feel exhausted,
you feel depleted, and you're wondering, what did I actually
(22:08):
get done today?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Right?
Speaker 6 (22:10):
And it's because we're not paying attention to what actually matters.
And a lot of times we're so zeroed in on
getting something done that we're not necessarily focusing on the
things that are going to move the needle forward or
propel us forward. We have to think more proactively as
opposed to reactively. It's not oh, I have to put
(22:31):
out all these fires today and get all this stuff
done today. It's if I focus on this for an
hour today, what is that going to mean for five
years from now me? What is that going to mean
for two months from now?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Me?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Like?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
What are the things I'm doing today that are going
to help me tomorrow? We don't think that way. We
don't think proactively. We think, oh, I've got to get
this done today because it's got to be done now,
because my boss is going to say this or this,
that and the other. That's band aid fixes, that's running yourself.
You're putting all your energy into things that make no difference.
(23:07):
If you were to let half of your to do
list fall away, probably no one would even notice that
those things didn't get done. It's just easy for you
to say, look, I did twelve things today. It's like, okay,
but what did those twelve things actually do for you? Like?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Really?
Speaker 6 (23:22):
And it makes and after so much time, that's when
the burnout starts to creep in. Because we feel busy,
we feel depleted, we feel exhausted, and because we're not
focused on the things that are actually going to move
the needle forward or benefit us in the long term. Then. Now,
the bottom line, if you think about it in the
context of running a business or even within the workplace,
(23:42):
you're seeing that your metrics and your profits and things
like that aren't moving. You're stagnant. But it's because nobody's
focused on those important tasks that really make a difference.
And you could spend four hours working on a bunch
of stuff that doesn't move the needle, or you could
(24:04):
spend and you could feel completely exhausted and depleted, or
you could spend eight to ten hours over a period
of two days focusing on something that really matters, that
really moves the neel forward. It's not a bunch of stuff.
Maybe it's just one thing. But because you focused on
that one thing, now you don't feel depleted, you don't
feel exhausted, you feel energized, and you can feel that
(24:26):
sense of satisfaction because you know that tomorrow you is
going to be like, oh, so glad I did that yesterday, right.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, I love that, you know, thank you for sharing that.
That's some great insight.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It is.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So let's talk about your your upcoming book, Becoming Myself.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
You talk about designing the life aligned with your true desires.
How does gratitude support this process?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yees?
Speaker 6 (24:55):
So in my own journey, I have I've experienced what
I like to think of as a bit of a
roller coaster of life. I've been at top, top of
my game. I've been deep deep in some sledge on
the floor, crying, not running all over my face. I've
had those moments. And throughout all of those moments, what
(25:18):
I've really started to learn is that there's this beautiful
unfolding of authenticity that comes from choosing what feels good
in my gut versus what I've been told is right. Yeah,
learning to trust myself and trust where I'm at. And
(25:42):
I know I said earlier when we were talking that
gratitude has saved my life on more than one occasion.
And I think that that's really true because in the
moments where I have been and I talk about some
of these moments in my book where I have just
completely fallen apart, hitting you know, rock bottom as they say,
I was just in places where I felt like everything
(26:04):
that I wanted was not working, was gone was or
the things that I did want I achieved them, only
to realize I didn't want them, and it would just
put me in these moments of complete surrender and complete
just throwing in the towel, like okay, God, Universe, whatever
(26:26):
it is that's out there, I quit. I give up.
You tell me where to go now, because I can't
figure it out. And it's in those moments that I
started to pause and started to tune in to the
magic of life, to Oh, I'm breathing, my heart's working,
it's beating, I feel it. I can still eat food.
(26:50):
I can taste it and it's delicious. I can hear
the birds singing outside. I can listen to the wind
rustling through the trees, like finding all these little things
to notice and to recognize, like the true miracle. And
when I focus on gratitude, and it's happened so many
times because I think that even like still, I go
(27:11):
through my phases where I lose track of my gratitude practice.
I lose track of my journaling and my meditation and
all the things that keep me grounded because I get
caught up in this event, that event, this is going on,
that's going on, And every time when I come back
to it, I am reminded of how much comes to me.
(27:32):
When I'm grateful, when I'm grateful for what I have,
I only get more. It never fails every time. There
are times even now still because I'm in my third
messy middle right now as I'm writing this book, and
even now, there are some months that I'm like, oh
my gosh, am I even gonna make it to the
end of the month, Like my bank account is looking dire?
(27:54):
What is happening? But I pause. I have gratitude. I'm
so glad I have what I have right now. This
is amazing. And somehow, some ways, some unexpected something will
come up and boom, I'm covered for the next month.
It's incredible. It really is just such an amazing practice
and such magic. Like that's the best way I can
(28:18):
describe it. And in fact, there's a book out there
called The Magic that talks all about gratitude. I highly
recommend it. But it really makes such a difference. And
gratitude is a big practice that kind of is threaded
through my book, but mostly throughout my books. It's all
about that sort of becoming. It's that unlearning of all
(28:38):
the things that have been given to us. We're told
over and over who we are. Everybody thinks they know
who we are, but we know that. Yeah, and we
only have to stop and listen and then be grateful
for who we are. Mess, scars, mistakes, falling on our face,
all of it, because it's such a beautiful unfolding and
(28:59):
such a beautiful process of becoming who we are and
who we're meant to be.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Beautiful, well set. I love that beautiful will set. So
what will be some daily, practical, daily habits that you
would recommend for women to cultivate gratitude and attract abundance.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Yeah. Well, one thing that I love doing myself that
I highly recommend is writing down your blessings counter blessings.
So there's a couple different ways. There's a few schools
of thought on this. There's actually a study that was
done at the University of Berkeley around gratitude and they
had the developed the practice of three good things is
(29:41):
what they call it. So writing down three good things
in your life every day, whether it's morning, night, whatever
it be. I personally like to do ten things. So
write down ten blessings. What are ten things I can
be grateful for? And I like to start small because
sometimes you wake up in a mood, right you don't
know why, you don't know how it happens, Like sometimes
(30:03):
the sleep just wasn't there. Like maybe the car alarm
across the street went off at three am. You're like,
what is my life? So you get up and you're thinking, oh, dude,
I really have to hear and be grateful right now.
But you start small, like find the little things. I'm
so happy that I was able to hear that alarm
because if it had been something dangerous, if it had
been a fire alarm, would I not have been so
(30:24):
glad that I could hear it? Great, My ears are working.
I'm grateful. I have breakfast to eat this morning. That's beautiful.
I'm grateful for that, and just kind of building up
from there. And once you get started, I think it's
easy to come up with ten things because we have
so much so we don't even realize that we have.
(30:44):
So that's a good one. I like to also leave
myself little notes so as I'm getting ready, if anyone
is a Louise Hey fan out there, affirmations, she's like
the og of affirmations. I think affirmations are great. And
before I I go to bed at night, when I'm
kind of tidying up and getting myself situated for the
next day. I like to write myself little love notes
(31:07):
on sticky notes and stick them around the house, so
one will be on my coffee maker. I have one
on my mirror that's been there for months. Actually, it
just says, good morning, you wonderful human with a big heart.
So as soon as I look in the mirror in
the bathroom, that's what I see. And I'm like, oh, hey,
so just writing yourself little love notes just to show
appreciation for yourself and to do little things for yourself.
(31:29):
Like I'll leave a little sticky note on the coffee
maker and I'll just say the coffee's ready, just press
the button and put a little heart. So I'm telling myself, hey,
I did this for you last night, so you're ready
to go for today. That's a great practice. I love it,
and it sounds corny, but I promise it works. It
makes me so happy. So those are those are two
things that are fairly easy that I would strongly encourage
(31:51):
anyone to give a try.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, you know, I love that. I love that's not corny.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I love that because what that tells us that I
was thinking of myself tomorrow exactly.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
It's the same way that you would do it for
like a family member, a loved one, a spouse, whatever.
We do it all the time for other people, but
how often do we do that for ourselves. I love
leaving myself little notes. Sometimes I'll be journaling and I'll
write myself like a full letter for a future me,
and I'll tuck it in somewhere throughout my apartment and
(32:22):
then I'll randomly find it one day when I'm cleaning,
and I'll be like, oh, this is a nice little
love letter I wrote for myself. It's just nice to
let me know, Hey, I'm thinking of you, and I
love you, and I appreciate you, and you worked really
hard today and I noticed that.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
That's beautiful. I love that. I love that whole take
of that. That's something that I used to do when
I was younger.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I do it now. But when you're hearing it.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
In another language, this is when I said, well, my guests,
come on, they have another language than me. Yeah, yeah,
they have another language.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
So I love hearing it in your.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Language too, because and it's probably a reminder for me
to do that for myself now in a more in
a different type of way.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Because the way you just said it felt so much
more intimate.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Mmm.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
And you know when you talk about self love like that,
the most intimate race relationship that you will ever have
is the one with yourself. And it's so important to
nourish that and build that because you cannot, you cannot
show up in this world the way that you're meant to,
which is as love, because at our core, that's what
(33:36):
we are. We are love embodied, and we lose that
so easily. And the more you can love yourself, and
the more you can connect with yourself very intimately and
very real and very raw, you just show up better
for everybody else you do.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Thank you for that all right?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Now, for our listeners who are so overwhelmed by the
shoes or the societal expectations, what steps can they take
to start designing a lot that they truly love.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Yeah. So, one thing I like to do with my
clients always is come back to values. So often we
inherit values that are given to us by our family, teachers, bosses, friends,
all the people that we interact with because they say
(34:29):
something is important, and us in our desire for love, safety,
and belonging and wanting to be a part of a community.
Just adopt that. Oh, they say it's important, so it
must be important to me. But sitting down in silence
and really looking at what are my values actually like
what really feels important to me? And a great way
(34:51):
to do that. And you can do this like I
have a handout that I give clients that has a
list of values, but you can find it on Google,
Ask Chat, GPT. Now we have AI to do these
things for us. Get a list, find what resonates. There's
so many different values that people hold dear, and I
invite you to take a look at the list and
find what are your top five? What are like your
(35:13):
deal breakers? If something is out of alignment with these
particular values, does it feel like icky? Like oh if
I'm not honoring this value, I feel like not good inside?
Like family might be one for a lot of people.
If something goes wrong with my family, I feel icky.
(35:34):
If work takes me away from my family, I feel icky.
So that you know that that's an important value for you.
So understanding your values. When you understand your values, you
can start to now look at Okay, where am I
in alignment? And where am I out of alignment? How
much am I listening to what other people have told
me is important versus what actually feels important for me.
(35:58):
But yeah, I would say that's a great practical place
to start is find out what your values are and
do a little bit of an inventory to see where
you're aligned and where you're not aligned. And another thing
is just whenever you can give yourself space for silence.
(36:19):
As much as our relationship with ourself is important, so
is our relationship with silence because we cannot hear what
our heart has to say if we're not sitting in silence.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
I love that. Thank you for that, Thank you for that,
And listeners, y'all. Jamie work is a gift.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
It truly is a gift, and you all can connect
and learn from her more about her coaching and our
upcoming book.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
What is your website? Can you show your website?
Speaker 6 (36:47):
Yes, it's radically a live coaching all one word dot
com and you can also find me on social media.
It's Jamie Gant dot coach on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Beautiful. All right, Well, you know why we have come
to the.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
End of our conversation and show. But I do want
to share this the most abundant moments in our life.
It didn't come when we were grinding. I know for
me it didn't it was when were grinding, But it
came in those quiet moments, as you said, taking that silence,
you know, because in those quiet moments, those are the
(37:22):
in betweens, those are the in betweens.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
That is when we finally.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Could be present enough to receive. I know for me
that has been one of the most amazing things is
sitting in silace. And that's why I said when I
look back at twenty twenty mm, I look back at
that and that was a moment that.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
The whole world stood still.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Yeah, and if we if natural that was Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
If you now could go back, let's take away you know,
you know all of the people that have passed away
and gone, but just think about your present, your life,
in your room, in your.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Bed at that moment, and it was silence. What did
you hear? And I know a lot of people say fear,
let's take the fear out of it. What did you hear?
What did you hear? This is probably the best time
that you can go back and look at it and
see it.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
And also that is a gratitude there because guess what
five years now, You're here.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
You are here, You are here.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
And so what I want to do with you listeners
right now is I want to do what I call
a little gratitude snapshot snapshot exercise right now. So I
want you to think of three things, just three things
that you are.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Grateful for today. It can be.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
As tiny as your coffee, me tea, a text from
someone who you love, or just your breath, just your breath.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
And I want you to write it down if you can,
or just hold it close to your heart and know
why am I grateful for that?
Speaker 3 (39:02):
You know, let the gratitude expand deeply in your chest
and let it allow it to shift your energy, allow
it to shift your energy. And y'all know I've always
had a many challenges for y'all, and so here's one
for the next seven days. I want you to take
that snapchat that I just gave you for one moment
(39:24):
of abundance. Take a snapchat of one moment of abundance,
in that moment of where you felt full, at joy,
or at peace or in stillness. And I want you
to journal about it, Journal about it, journal about it.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I keep saying this because.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
When you journal, and when you write, it just seemed
like it's just concrete. Everything is just so concreek in
your mind when you write and I'm not talking, well
you can you can go ahead and type it down
if you want to, but I'm talking about paying of paper,
old school, paying of paper, old.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
School, and write it down.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
And if you love this, yeah, please tag me on
Instagram and share with our community.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
And don't remember about our work book.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
The Rebirth Workbook is the second half of this year
with some amazing prompts and everything like that in there.
And also, if this conversation has resonated with you, please
share this with someone who needs to hear it.
Speaker 2 (40:22):

Speaker 3 (40:22):

any last words for our.

Listeners, yeah, thank you again. You can find me at
radically alivecoaching dot com or you can find me on
Instagram Jamie Gant dot coach. It's ga N two t's

Final words, honestly is remember to notice the magic and
(40:53):
be grateful for who you are as you are and
love yourself for that.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Thank you, Jamie, Thank you so much for just pouring
into me, pouring into our listeners. You have an amazing gift,

spirit right here with you, and your book is going
to do so many things and so amazing.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Actually, this is the first year that we went the
whole year of every day well, every day Monday through
Friday with the Season and Steff Love Well usually take
a nice little break in the summertime. And I'm just
coming out of doing my ex plant. We're removing my
my implants. But even through the process of all of that,
I've what I've been learning through my whole healing process,
(06:24):
even creating the season self Love and is that I.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Was a hustler. I just always hustled, go go, go,
go go, and but through that.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I didn't I didn't have any happiness. I didn't have
any happiness for at all. You know, for years I
thought that success meant for me to stay busy. And
I think that's what a lot of us think, is
that if we constantly moving, we're constantly doing something, that
we are going to be successful and then we.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Should be happy in that process.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
But what it does, it makes us exhausted. But then
it also it makes us fulfilled because we're chasing something.
You know, we're chasing something and don't know what it is.
But when I had realized that I share with you
last year is that I was diagnosed with vertical because
I was doing so much, just going all just all
(07:17):
off balance. And that's when I knew that you have
to slow down. You have to slow down, and you
have to live in a moment. That's one thing, Jamie,
what we've learned, especially early on this year, this is
the call our year of the Rebirth, is that with
secreticity and seeing the signs of things you know, and
how things play out in the line. You know, how
(07:38):
you have some thing, it's like, okay, it's going to
happen this way and then God in the universe has
something totally different for you. And as I went going
through life this year, it has been amazing, but it
also has been one of those like, ah, that's what
it is. Two years ago, my mom was diagnosed with
(08:00):
dimension and I'm her caregiver. And in the beginning of that,
I remember trying to I was doing research, trying to
find everything possible that I can help cure that without medication.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You know, I tried to do everything.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
And I remember the first maybe six months of her
diagnose as well as me doing all of my business
trying to do everything. I remember just being like, oh
my god, I don't know if I'm going to be
able to do all of this. And I remember my
mom was talking to me, and she was talking to
me about something back.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
In the day.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
She wasn't here with me in this moment, and I
remember I had to pause for a moment and.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I had to go back there with her.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
But it was in the present moment, and that's when
I truly realizes that hold on.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You have to be in the present moment. You have
to understand what it is that you have.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You know, you yes, your mom she you know back
there sometimes that you have her here with you.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Save that's gratitude.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Look around you, look around the people who you've met,
the new life that you created, this new journey.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
This is all that we need to be gracious for.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
And so then I said, I'm going to wake up
every morning with gratitude, with gratitude, just speaking gratitude, thanking
God for everything as soon as I wake up in
the morning, creating different exercises even to share with them there.
And so gratitude for me has been my anchor, has
been my anchor, and it's helped me to reset, you
(09:37):
know when we have a nice little glow and nice
little and that's really where rebirth came from. You know,
that's exactly where it came from, for the reset, for
the recenter of that.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
But that's what brings us here today.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And I'm so excited just reading over your profile and
everything like that. I am so excited for our listeners
to hear exactly what you have to offer and what
you are doing with it. So this is what I
want to ask you, Jamie. You've been very passionate about
helping women to break free from their burnout in hustle culture.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Can you share what.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Inspired this mission and how it relates to cultivating gratitude.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Yeah, absolutely, and thank you so much for sharing that
story about your mother. I totally resonate with that and
feel the power behind what gratitude can do for you.
And I think, just on my own personal note, gratitude
has saved my life more times than I can count.
But yeah, what really inspired me to do the work
(10:39):
that I do is I experienced my own burnout from
buying into hustle culture, and a lot of what drove
me to hustle and to succeed was coming from a
toxic background. I came from a family that was very unstable.
My parents divorced when I was young. My stepfather was
(11:01):
an abusive monster. My mother got really into drugs and alcohol,
as was he. He was in and out of jail.
It was just a really unsafe, unstable place to be.
And I think growing up like that, I decided somewhere
in my mind that I was going to be not that.
And I spent the first part of my early adulthood
(11:23):
being exactly that and having to kind of unlearn sort
of this pattern of using substances as comfort things of
that nature and then I was like, you know what,
I'm gonna get my shit together. I'm going to turn
my life around. I'm going to be so successful. So
I went to school, I got a business degree. I
(11:44):
started working in call centers. I started as just a
phone rip, worked my way up the ladder. I was
working all the time. I was bringing work home with me.
I was going, going, going, going, And I spent all
these years just ticking boxes. Got a degree to got
a good job, Tick, got a four to oh one K, Tick,
married a great guy. Tick, got a great apartment. I
(12:07):
was living in Chicago, living my hashtag best life, as
they say, and I thought I was there, great job,
great life. Everything looked good on paper. I was up
at five am going to the gym. I meditated for
thirty minutes, splashed, fell asleep to music for thirty minutes
until the alarm went off and I had to go
(12:27):
to work. But I was doing everything the way I
was supposed to. I was doing it right. I was successful.
And underneath all of that, I had severe anxiety. I
started to develop really bad OCD symptoms to the point
where I couldn't I couldn't get out of bed, and
(12:48):
I didn't like I just couldn't move. I had such
debilitating panic attacks that I started calling in sick to
work all the time. My performance started to plummet, my
marriage was unraveling. Everything was just starting to fall apart.
And I couldn't quite understand because I had done everything right.
I did all the things I was supposed to do.
(13:09):
I was following the rule book. I was doing it.
I was doing it, and I just finally reached a
breaking point. And at that point, I quit my corporate
job and I was like, you know what, I can't
do it anymore. Had no idea what the hell I
was going to do with myself, but I knew I
had to. I just knew I had to quit. And
throughout that process, I really just started to learn a
(13:32):
lot about who I am, what really matters to me,
what is success really? Because as I have uncovered more
and more about myself and my truth and what matters
to me and found my alignment, I have learned that
we chase these ideas of what it means to be successful.
We chase this picture, we chase this this certain salary,
(13:57):
certain yeah, this certain look, and we want to look
Instagram perfect. Because thanks social media for completely disillusion us.
But we tries so hard and if it's not who
we are, if it's not really what's important to us,
then it can all unravel and fall apart. And when
(14:20):
I finally started to understand that and started to really
find that gratitude just to be grateful, you know what,
I am so grateful that I am up today, I
am moving, my body's working, I'm breathing air. I understand
who I am. I can speak, I can see, I
can hear, I can taste, I can smell, I can
do all these things. Life is a true miracle. And
(14:43):
kind of understanding how to live into that gratitude was
such a game changer for me, and you know, I'm
throughout all of that. It led me to do what
I do now, which is coaching, and it also led
me to become a digital nomad and a world traveler
and an author and all these other things. So I
think it really unlocks so much for you when you
(15:05):
can let go of the of the script of the blueprint, yeah,
and just dive deep, deep into yourself and have such
gratitude for the life that you've been given.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Yeah, you know, I love how you say to let
go of the script and the blueprint. You know, I
think what we we don't realize is that our script
and our blueprint is written for us. But it's so
good when we start to wake up and understand that's
not our story, that's not our script, that is not
our blueprint, you know. And it's one thing that I
(15:38):
tell my listeners all the time. It's even the things
that we go through in life. Do those trials, those traumas,
those triviulations of things that you know all of that,
those are tools. Those are amazing tools, and I sometimes
call them gifts that we have to apply them in
what our life is today, what our God given life is.
(16:00):
And when we realize where we at in this moment,
you know that that puts on extra for us to
love our life or fall in love with our life.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Fall in love with your life.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Not with the life that people think you should have,
you know, what your parents think you should be or whatever,
but the love that you you fall in love with you,
and that's all what self love is about, is to
have life around you and being gracious on what you have,
whether it's little or small.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
You know, like you said, just a breath that I
when I wake up in the morning. That's amazing because
do you know how many people didn't?
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Nothing, tell us is the year twenty twenty the year two?
We should have had our eyes wide open and understand that.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
We need to be gracious of today.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know, it's funny that you
bring up twenty twenty because I don't know if you this,
but I know I have, and a lot of people
I've spoken to you have. But after twenty twenty and
everything unlocked, after we were all locked down and wearing
masks and all of that, when everything unlocked, it feels
like someone hit the fast forward button, like twenty twenty
(17:15):
was five years ago? When the hell did that happen?
You know? And that's the hustle. It's like, instead of
paying attention and waking up, we just fell right back
into it and then multiplied it by ten. We decided
to ten x our hustle instead of learning how to
stay in the moment and stay grounded in that gratitude.
(17:38):
And I love what you said about falling in love
with yourself. That's so true. I think self love has
become a buzzword. It's a hashtag now, and I don't
know that we're really taking the time to understand what
self love actually means. It means being grateful for the
light that you've been given. It means sitting in your
mess or your success, either or and loving it either way.
(18:02):
Just loving that you've been given the opportunity to either
learn from this mess that you're sitting in, or that
you've been given the opportunity to really enjoy the blessings
that you're sitting in. And like all of it is
a blessing.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, and bless someone else. I don't mean to cut
you off, but to bless you someone else.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah, bless someone else.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I'm going to go back to twenty twenty, and I
believe I think we all missed it. I think we
all missed the message of twenty twenty. Twenty twenty was for.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
All of us to stay still. Yeah, twenty twenty was
for all of.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Us to stay still. And I remember going through my
spiritual awakening. It was already before, but it's just really
like intensified then.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
In twenty twenty. So I didn't go as hard with
my hustle.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I went more hard with my spiritual and looking with
them myself. During twenty twenty I'm still not outside like
I used to. So I stayed close to myself and
I stayed grounded, and I stayed you.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Know, to build a spiritual you know thing.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
But I think a lot of us missed that whole
point because we didn't know how because, as you said,
we were in that the Houstole culture, and now were
in the comparison. You know, social media has maybe to
where we're comparing our lives to other people lives, but
instead of if we're going to be influenced by them,
influenced by them, you know, by using I love the
DIY people. I love them because take something nothing and
(19:29):
make it into something so amazing. So if you think
that if you use that in your own life, whether
it's a piece of paper or a cardboard, and you
could make some amazing things with that, that right there
is that's a message.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
That's a tool.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I'd be grateful for the little things that you have
and you could just make it look so amazing.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Yeah. Yeah, well, and I love what you said about
being inspired by what we see. I think that's so
important because we do see a lot of different things
on social media, and I think what the tendency is
is instead of being inspired, we're instead comparing, and there's
that whole mentality compare and despair. I'm not there yet,
(20:12):
how do I get there? And I think it's also
created this impression that somehow we're all going to be
millionaires overnight as long as you buy this course that's
on sale today for seventy nine to ninety nine. Like
it's what you're seeing is someone's years and years and
years and years of figuring stuff out and finally getting
(20:33):
to the point where they could do what they're doing.
And it looks like overnight's success, but it's not. And
your story is just as valuable. This is important as
long as it's yours. Like, use it for inspiration, to
unlock whatever is inside of you, don't use it as
(20:54):
a reason to say, oh, I'm not able to do anything.
Let me just try and do exactly what they're doing. Oh,
exactly what they're doing. And it didn't work. I quit,
Like that's not that's not what that's for.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, yeah, you know, thank you are so right, Thank
you for sharing. And so I got a question for you.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
You know, many women feel caught in that myth that
more work equals more success. I know that it was me,
That was me. How does that whole hustle culture hinder
genuine productivity in happiness.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Yeah, that's a great question. And you know, this is
something that I talk about a lot when I do workshops,
especially for corporates. So when we get into this idea
that busy equals productive, we start to now focus on
task completion instead of prioritization. So we're just trying to
(21:46):
fill up our to do lists with as many little
things as we possibly can, and we try to get
those quote unquote quick wins, like let me see all
the things I can tick off of my list today.
Next thing you know, you've ticked everything off of your list.
You feel like you've been busy, running around like a
checking with your head cut off all day long. You
get to the end of the day, you feel exhausted,
you feel depleted, and you're wondering, what did I actually
(22:08):
get done today?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Right?
Speaker 6 (22:10):
And it's because we're not paying attention to what actually matters.
And a lot of times we're so zeroed in on
getting something done that we're not necessarily focusing on the
things that are going to move the needle forward or
propel us forward. We have to think more proactively as
opposed to reactively. It's not oh, I have to put
(22:31):
out all these fires today and get all this stuff
done today. It's if I focus on this for an
hour today, what is that going to mean for five
years from now me? What is that going to mean
for two months from now?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Me?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Like?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
What are the things I'm doing today that are going
to help me tomorrow? We don't think that way. We
don't think proactively. We think, oh, I've got to get
this done today because it's got to be done now,
because my boss is going to say this or this,
that and the other. That's band aid fixes, that's running yourself.
You're putting all your energy into things that make no difference.
(23:07):
If you were to let half of your to do
list fall away, probably no one would even notice that
those things didn't get done. It's just easy for you
to say, look, I did twelve things today. It's like, okay,
but what did those twelve things actually do for you? Like?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Really?
Speaker 6 (23:22):
And it makes and after so much time, that's when
the burnout starts to creep in. Because we feel busy,
we feel depleted, we feel exhausted, and because we're not
focused on the things that are actually going to move
the needle forward or benefit us in the long term. Then. Now,
the bottom line, if you think about it in the
context of running a business or even within the workplace,
(23:42):
you're seeing that your metrics and your profits and things
like that aren't moving. You're stagnant. But it's because nobody's
focused on those important tasks that really make a difference.
And you could spend four hours working on a bunch
of stuff that doesn't move the needle, or you could
(24:04):
spend and you could feel completely exhausted and depleted, or
you could spend eight to ten hours over a period
of two days focusing on something that really matters, that
really moves the neel forward. It's not a bunch of stuff.
Maybe it's just one thing. But because you focused on
that one thing, now you don't feel depleted, you don't
feel exhausted, you feel energized, and you can feel that
(24:26):
sense of satisfaction because you know that tomorrow you is
going to be like, oh, so glad I did that yesterday, right.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, I love that, you know, thank you for sharing that.
That's some great insight.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It is.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So let's talk about your your upcoming book, Becoming Myself.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
You talk about designing the life aligned with your true desires.
How does gratitude support this process?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yees?
Speaker 6 (24:55):
So in my own journey, I have I've experienced what
I like to think of as a bit of a
roller coaster of life. I've been at top, top of
my game. I've been deep deep in some sledge on
the floor, crying, not running all over my face. I've
had those moments. And throughout all of those moments, what
(25:18):
I've really started to learn is that there's this beautiful
unfolding of authenticity that comes from choosing what feels good
in my gut versus what I've been told is right. Yeah,
learning to trust myself and trust where I'm at. And
(25:42):
I know I said earlier when we were talking that
gratitude has saved my life on more than one occasion.
And I think that that's really true because in the
moments where I have been and I talk about some
of these moments in my book where I have just
completely fallen apart, hitting you know, rock bottom as they say,
I was just in places where I felt like everything
(26:04):
that I wanted was not working, was gone was or
the things that I did want I achieved them, only
to realize I didn't want them, and it would just
put me in these moments of complete surrender and complete
just throwing in the towel, like okay, God, Universe, whatever
(26:26):
it is that's out there, I quit. I give up.
You tell me where to go now, because I can't
figure it out. And it's in those moments that I
started to pause and started to tune in to the
magic of life, to Oh, I'm breathing, my heart's working,
it's beating, I feel it. I can still eat food.
(26:50):
I can taste it and it's delicious. I can hear
the birds singing outside. I can listen to the wind
rustling through the trees, like finding all these little things
to notice and to recognize, like the true miracle. And
when I focus on gratitude, and it's happened so many
times because I think that even like still, I go
(27:11):
through my phases where I lose track of my gratitude practice.
I lose track of my journaling and my meditation and
all the things that keep me grounded because I get
caught up in this event, that event, this is going on,
that's going on, And every time when I come back
to it, I am reminded of how much comes to me.
(27:32):
When I'm grateful, when I'm grateful for what I have,
I only get more. It never fails every time. There
are times even now still because I'm in my third
messy middle right now as I'm writing this book, and
even now, there are some months that I'm like, oh
my gosh, am I even gonna make it to the
end of the month, Like my bank account is looking dire?
(27:54):
What is happening? But I pause. I have gratitude. I'm
so glad I have what I have right now. This
is amazing. And somehow, some ways, some unexpected something will
come up and boom, I'm covered for the next month.
It's incredible. It really is just such an amazing practice
and such magic. Like that's the best way I can
(28:18):
describe it. And in fact, there's a book out there
called The Magic that talks all about gratitude. I highly
recommend it. But it really makes such a difference. And
gratitude is a big practice that kind of is threaded
through my book, but mostly throughout my books. It's all
about that sort of becoming. It's that unlearning of all
(28:38):
the things that have been given to us. We're told
over and over who we are. Everybody thinks they know
who we are, but we know that. Yeah, and we
only have to stop and listen and then be grateful
for who we are. Mess, scars, mistakes, falling on our face,
all of it, because it's such a beautiful unfolding and
(28:59):
such a beautiful process of becoming who we are and
who we're meant to be.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Beautiful, well set. I love that beautiful will set. So
what will be some daily, practical, daily habits that you
would recommend for women to cultivate gratitude and attract abundance.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Yeah. Well, one thing that I love doing myself that
I highly recommend is writing down your blessings counter blessings.
So there's a couple different ways. There's a few schools
of thought on this. There's actually a study that was
done at the University of Berkeley around gratitude and they
had the developed the practice of three good things is
(29:41):
what they call it. So writing down three good things
in your life every day, whether it's morning, night, whatever
it be. I personally like to do ten things. So
write down ten blessings. What are ten things I can
be grateful for? And I like to start small because
sometimes you wake up in a mood, right you don't
know why, you don't know how it happens, Like sometimes
(30:03):
the sleep just wasn't there. Like maybe the car alarm
across the street went off at three am. You're like,
what is my life? So you get up and you're thinking, oh, dude,
I really have to hear and be grateful right now.
But you start small, like find the little things. I'm
so happy that I was able to hear that alarm
because if it had been something dangerous, if it had
been a fire alarm, would I not have been so
(30:24):
glad that I could hear it? Great, My ears are working.
I'm grateful. I have breakfast to eat this morning. That's beautiful.
I'm grateful for that, and just kind of building up
from there. And once you get started, I think it's
easy to come up with ten things because we have
so much so we don't even realize that we have.
(30:44):
So that's a good one. I like to also leave
myself little notes so as I'm getting ready, if anyone
is a Louise Hey fan out there, affirmations, she's like
the og of affirmations. I think affirmations are great. And
before I I go to bed at night, when I'm
kind of tidying up and getting myself situated for the
next day. I like to write myself little love notes
(31:07):
on sticky notes and stick them around the house, so
one will be on my coffee maker. I have one
on my mirror that's been there for months. Actually, it
just says, good morning, you wonderful human with a big heart.
So as soon as I look in the mirror in
the bathroom, that's what I see. And I'm like, oh, hey,
so just writing yourself little love notes just to show
appreciation for yourself and to do little things for yourself.
(31:29):
Like I'll leave a little sticky note on the coffee
maker and I'll just say the coffee's ready, just press
the button and put a little heart. So I'm telling myself, hey,
I did this for you last night, so you're ready
to go for today. That's a great practice. I love it,
and it sounds corny, but I promise it works. It
makes me so happy. So those are those are two
things that are fairly easy that I would strongly encourage
(31:51):
anyone to give a try.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, you know, I love that. I love that's not corny.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I love that because what that tells us that I
was thinking of myself tomorrow exactly.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
It's the same way that you would do it for
like a family member, a loved one, a spouse, whatever.
We do it all the time for other people, but
how often do we do that for ourselves. I love
leaving myself little notes. Sometimes I'll be journaling and I'll
write myself like a full letter for a future me,
and I'll tuck it in somewhere throughout my apartment and
(32:22):
then I'll randomly find it one day when I'm cleaning,
and I'll be like, oh, this is a nice little
love letter I wrote for myself. It's just nice to
let me know, Hey, I'm thinking of you, and I
love you, and I appreciate you, and you worked really
hard today and I noticed that.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
That's beautiful. I love that. I love that whole take
of that. That's something that I used to do when
I was younger.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I do it now. But when you're hearing it.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
In another language, this is when I said, well, my guests,
come on, they have another language than me. Yeah, yeah,
they have another language.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
So I love hearing it in your.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Language too, because and it's probably a reminder for me
to do that for myself now in a more in
a different type of way.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Because the way you just said it felt so much
more intimate.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Mmm.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
And you know when you talk about self love like that,
the most intimate race relationship that you will ever have
is the one with yourself. And it's so important to
nourish that and build that because you cannot, you cannot
show up in this world the way that you're meant to,
which is as love, because at our core, that's what
(33:36):
we are. We are love embodied, and we lose that
so easily. And the more you can love yourself, and
the more you can connect with yourself very intimately and
very real and very raw, you just show up better
for everybody else you do.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Thank you for that all right?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Now, for our listeners who are so overwhelmed by the
shoes or the societal expectations, what steps can they take
to start designing a lot that they truly love.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Yeah. So, one thing I like to do with my
clients always is come back to values. So often we
inherit values that are given to us by our family, teachers, bosses, friends,
all the people that we interact with because they say
(34:29):
something is important, and us in our desire for love, safety,
and belonging and wanting to be a part of a community.
Just adopt that. Oh, they say it's important, so it
must be important to me. But sitting down in silence
and really looking at what are my values actually like
what really feels important to me? And a great way
(34:51):
to do that. And you can do this like I
have a handout that I give clients that has a
list of values, but you can find it on Google,
Ask Chat, GPT. Now we have AI to do these
things for us. Get a list, find what resonates. There's
so many different values that people hold dear, and I
invite you to take a look at the list and
find what are your top five? What are like your
(35:13):
deal breakers? If something is out of alignment with these
particular values, does it feel like icky? Like oh if
I'm not honoring this value, I feel like not good inside?
Like family might be one for a lot of people.
If something goes wrong with my family, I feel icky.
(35:34):
If work takes me away from my family, I feel icky.
So that you know that that's an important value for you.
So understanding your values. When you understand your values, you
can start to now look at Okay, where am I
in alignment? And where am I out of alignment? How
much am I listening to what other people have told
me is important versus what actually feels important for me.
(35:58):
But yeah, I would say that's a great practical place
to start is find out what your values are and
do a little bit of an inventory to see where
you're aligned and where you're not aligned. And another thing
is just whenever you can give yourself space for silence.
(36:19):
As much as our relationship with ourself is important, so
is our relationship with silence because we cannot hear what
our heart has to say if we're not sitting in silence.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
I love that. Thank you for that, Thank you for that,
And listeners, y'all. Jamie work is a gift.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
It truly is a gift, and you all can connect
and learn from her more about her coaching and our
upcoming book.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
What is your website? Can you show your website?
Speaker 6 (36:47):
Yes, it's radically a live coaching all one word dot
com and you can also find me on social media.
It's Jamie Gant dot coach on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Beautiful. All right, Well, you know why we have come
to the.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
End of our conversation and show. But I do want
to share this the most abundant moments in our life.
It didn't come when we were grinding. I know for
me it didn't it was when were grinding, But it
came in those quiet moments, as you said, taking that silence,
you know, because in those quiet moments, those are the
(37:22):
in betweens, those are the in betweens.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
That is when we finally.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Could be present enough to receive. I know for me
that has been one of the most amazing things is
sitting in silace. And that's why I said when I
look back at twenty twenty mm, I look back at
that and that was a moment that.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
The whole world stood still.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Yeah, and if we if natural that was Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
If you now could go back, let's take away you know,
you know all of the people that have passed away
and gone, but just think about your present, your life,
in your room, in your.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Bed at that moment, and it was silence. What did
you hear? And I know a lot of people say fear,
let's take the fear out of it. What did you hear?
What did you hear? This is probably the best time
that you can go back and look at it and
see it.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
And also that is a gratitude there because guess what
five years now, You're here.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
You are here, You are here.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
And so what I want to do with you listeners
right now is I want to do what I call
a little gratitude snapshot snapshot exercise right now. So I
want you to think of three things, just three things
that you are.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Grateful for today. It can be.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
As tiny as your coffee, me tea, a text from
someone who you love, or just your breath, just your breath.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
And I want you to write it down if you can,
or just hold it close to your heart and know
why am I grateful for that?
Speaker 3 (39:02):
You know, let the gratitude expand deeply in your chest
and let it allow it to shift your energy, allow
it to shift your energy. And y'all know I've always
had a many challenges for y'all, and so here's one
for the next seven days. I want you to take
that snapchat that I just gave you for one moment
(39:24):
of abundance. Take a snapchat of one moment of abundance,
in that moment of where you felt full, at joy,
or at peace or in stillness. And I want you
to journal about it, Journal about it, journal about it.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I keep saying this because.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
When you journal, and when you write, it just seemed
like it's just concrete. Everything is just so concreek in
your mind when you write and I'm not talking, well
you can you can go ahead and type it down
if you want to, but I'm talking about paying of paper,
old school, paying of paper, old.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
School, and write it down.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
