Speaker 1 (00:06):
Joe, Okay, cass up rope th little food for yourself
life ain't Oh it's pretty much Hey, it's pretty beautiful
than beautiful laughs. A little mouth tightening up said he
(00:28):
you're kicking with four Happy Thursday. Welcome to Four Things.
Amy here, and my cousin Amanda is joining me. We're
actually sitting on my bed recording this on my phone
and you'll figure out why in a minute. But I'm
gonna rattle off. Oh say hey Amanda, Hi everyone, and
(00:50):
she's at soul Pathology on Instagram and my psychic cousin
if you've heard on the Bobby Bone Show. But this
is what we're gonna talk about. We wrote it down
before weard about my dog ate my vision board. Also
she ate Amanda's pills, a lot of them. What does
this make possible? As something I've said I don't know,
(01:10):
like five hundred times today and I'm still not quite sure.
We're gonna talk about Zara Flawful, Judy the Angel, how
my episode which this is going to be the only
time I'm talking about this. Doctor Mark Kyman was supposed
to be joining me for Four Things today and I
did interview him. But I'm going to move that episode
probably till next week, just some things I don't know,
(01:33):
I want to add to it. Like I just was like, fun,
this is interesting. It might not have fit into the
flow of this week. Yeah, it just't wasn't giving me
the energy that I wanted this episode to have Stashira
and her singing, Stevenson being on task, being a good mom,
(01:53):
which is something really about Amanda, not me, skincare Ice rolling,
Lisa's mom passing, and you know I mensioned a second ago.
Judy the Angel kind of has to do with that
and just how divine that whole experience was. And then
Amanda's new podcast, which is I'm gonna debut soon and
it's called Soul Sessions. So here we go. We're going
(02:16):
to talk about my dog eating my vision board and
I'm so sad because it was really only the corner
of my vision board and we're trying to decide what
does that really mean, like what is God telling me?
And then Amanda's like, well, you know dog spelled backwards?
Its God. Well, And there was also a loud scream
downstairs like something really bad had happened, and there was
(02:38):
a chunk out of the vision board I mean that's
just basically the way the day went. And it was like,
you know, a chunk missing from the vision board, and
there were some precious pieces in that chunk. Yeah, those
those were things. I really they were dreams. That chunk
was kind of full of dreams. See. It's almost like
God is telling me not this year, you know, like
(03:00):
I know, you really wanted that horse, and there really
was a horse. This s was even a faketure of
a horse. I do want a horse one day. But
yet I do realize that the scream I let out
probably led anybody else in the house to believe that
I had encountered a snake or a dead body, But
(03:22):
it was really just my vision board had been eaten
by the dog. And our dog has been acting so crazy.
He's a labordoodle named Kara. Shirty has a lot of
anxiety because she's a rescue and I just got like
attachment issues. But we had to put her on some
men's last week, and I had no idea that the
meds were making her crazy. But when Amanda looked at them,
(03:44):
she said, yeah, it was Prendo zone. It's a steroid.
And if you know, you totally know what I'm talking about.
I've taken it one time and it made me feel
like my brain was rattling around in my head. I
won't do it again unless I have to. My mom
did it once while she was sick. She was up
eating in the middle of the night. And then we
had our lab on pregna zone for his hips. He's
(04:05):
six almost sixteen years old, and he was eating. He
ate a photo album of my mother and I and
he hasn't chewed on anything since he was a puppy,
So I mean, it's pregna zone really makes you kukuku
choo well, And so we went to Zara tonight to
try to find our final outfits for the live podcast
on Saturday, because I still had no idea when I'm wearing.
(04:28):
But while we were at the mall, Kara got into
our guest bedroom where Amanda is staying and got into
her pill box. And Amanda is here for a week,
so she had a week's worth of pill And if
you've seen our supplements in my household, my husband is
a massive proponent of healthy living and supplements, and these
were all supplements, like lots of natural supplements, but lots
(04:49):
of melatonin was eaten like you know, not the allotted
three to five milligrams in the evening, the chewable kind
multiple is speaking of that something I'm going to add
in here. The gummies that I'm loving. I've always been
a fan of the calm powder that you mix in
water before bedtime, but I got the gummy version and
(05:12):
it's fun because they taste good and feel like you're
getting a little candy and a little treat in the evening. Yeah,
and they're sprinkled with I don't even know, some sort
of sugary thing on top. And you get to take
four because you're an adult. If you're a child, I
think you take one. But I'm like, oh, I'm going
to take four, and I haven't enjoying taking those at
(05:33):
night a lot. And then something else I'm taking at night.
I found this Whole Foods when I was in Austin
for your mom's funeral, because I sometimes when I travel,
like to take Mago seven for magnesium so that you know,
you go to the bathroom or whatever. But Whole Foods
was out, so I found this renew Life and it's
called Cleansmore and it's an herbal and mineral formula like
(05:57):
an overnight thing that promotes waste and toxin and the elimination,
you know what I'm saying. But you only have to
take two and it has two hundred and thirty milligrams
and magnesium oxide, which magnesium is really something we all
need we do and you have to be mindful not
to take too much magnesium. But two thirty that's not
(06:18):
bad too, but until to you, it's very calming and
it's healthy, and it's helping me with elimp toxins and
an elimidation because I have not been that regular, especially
after you get a colonoscopy. They said, don't we surprise
you how who don't go to the bathroom for a while.
And this has been very healthy situations happening. Not this
(06:40):
stuff crazy? And what does this make possible whole food's
being out of Mago seven? I think this might be better.
So anyway, fun fact about that, Just so you all know,
Kara is doing fine and she's relaxed and back to
the friend zone for just a minute. I have a
tax to say a big shout out because I've only
had to take it once for something, you know, in
a cute inflammation. But I know a handful of people
(07:03):
who have certain autoimmune disorders or things where they have
had to be on Preda z own long term, and
it creates all sorts of challenges in the body. So
that's probably, you know, for anybody who is who regularly
takes Preda zown, it can really tax your body and anyway.
So but Kara, but she's I've been dealing with the
(07:23):
short term fallout, which you all know. Yeah, she's asleep
right now, but I'll probably go check and make sure
that she's breathing here in a minute. When we were
at Zara, I gotta say we found some super cute
suits there. I don't know what this one in particular
is called, but there's this blazer with a belt that
goes around the waist and a great straight leg trouser
(07:48):
that would fit so many body types. I mean really
like I'm short, Amy's a little taller than me and
just depends on like it really great for almost anybody type. Yes,
so maybe you could go to Zara dot com and
put in like blazer trouser set or something with a tie,
because the blazer ties. They have a hot pink one
(08:09):
ish I guess the top pink. They have an orange
one and they have a white one, So that's one
way maybe we could differentiate, which you know set I'm
talking about because it is so so so cute. I'm
gonna have to have it altered if i end up
going with it, which I mean a lot of times.
For Zara, you do like Amanda would. Yes, it's way
(08:30):
too long. Rant could fit two of me backed on
top of each other like a circus act. Hurt eggs.
How tall are you? Five one? Okay? Yeah? Yeah? Five one?
Five one? And you love falafel, Yeah, I love falafel.
Amy didn't know what falafel was, And I mean, I'm
so surprised for so many of your vegetarian and kind
of vegan years that you didn't know. Falafel chickpeas, ground
(08:53):
chick peas with spices and goodness and then kind of
rolled up into a ball of goodness and fried. It's
a good protein supplement, but it makes my day, especially
when I'm having some kind of Mediterranean to zeke olive oil, cucumber.
I enjoyed my salad tonight. Well, I know you got
falafel last night. I had falafel last night and tonight,
(09:14):
two nights in a row. Which now I'm going to
need to trifle awful. I just didn't know. I don't
typically eat Greek because or Mediterranean because I don't like olives. Okay,
but you there's no olive and falafel, right. So but
I realized, oh, you can still go to some of
these restaurants. When we went went, we say, went to
Kava and Tacava. Oh that place is so good to
(09:35):
know we have one in Austin. There's one here. They're
all over. It's just like a Chipotle, but more with
the Mediterranean flair. Yeah, and the basmati rice is so good.
And I got lentils in a rugula and the lemon tahini,
the lemon tahini dressing made my evening. So I feel
like my mom, Judy, she would love Kava. She absolutely
(09:58):
would love Kamma. She would have loved it. So let's
talk about how she showed up whenever your mom was
transitioning to the other side. The hospice nurse was there
and she said she sensed angels in the room and
that one of them was my mom. Yes, I mean
there was there was so much that happened that was
miraculous and divine painful and traumatic and tragic and beautiful
(10:22):
at the same time. But we had this lovely nurse
came in a kind of a critical juncture of my
mom's condition changing and us needing to make sure she
was really comfortable and that we were administering her medications correctly.
And it was stressful because even though I've been around
hospice and I've been in these situations before, it was
my mother, and I was afraid maybe I wasn't, you know,
(10:46):
showing up and creating as much comfort as I could
for her. So this nurse comes in, and she came
in kind of like an angel herself, but she helped
get my mom comfortable, and she, you know, obviously doesn't
know us. She was just on hall that weekend. She
works five weekends a month. But we were talking and
she shared some really sweet tips with me about my
(11:07):
energy and my mom walking between the world and experiencing
unconditional love in the human world and then glimpses of
God's love, divine love, infinite love. But she was receiving
so much comfort and unconditional love and care in the
human world that it was hard to let go and
reach towards God's love. So she said, Amanda, you need
(11:30):
to create some space, you need to go on a walk,
you need to be out of this room more to
give her more time. So she gave me all these
beautiful tips. But the next morning she called me and
at some point I'll share the longer version of this
story because it is one of the most magnificent and
mystifying things I've ever experienced. And if you know me,
(11:53):
I'm spiritual. This is what I do as my gift
and being connected and sharing my gifts with people and
connecting them to their own divinity and God and source.
But this was just it was otherworldly. And she says
the next morning she called to check in, and she says,
there are these three small angels I feel like at
the bottom of your mom's bed. And she says, they're younger,
(12:15):
and they're smaller, she says, but there's this one angel,
this beautiful little angel in the center, and she keeps
channeling this energy to your mom and saying, I've got
you with joy, I've got you with joy. We're doing
this with pure joy. And this woman has never met
me before, has no indication. And one of the things
that my mom said, my dad is deceased, My grandparents
(12:37):
are gone, her sister is gone. She said, of course
I want all of those people there. But she told
Amy a while back the last time Amy visited, she said,
but you know, I just really want your mom to
come get me. And as you all know, I don't
have to tell you what Joy represents for Amy, you know,
and your Fredgie's life or her friend Judy. Joy for Judy.
(12:58):
And so this woman, you know, literally articulated that there
was this little angel down at the bottom, this beautiful
little angel, saying I've got you with Joy. So it
was like Aunt Judy was right there in the center,
which is exactly what Mom wanted. And I, like I said,
there were so many miraculous things, and I know I'll
be able to share those in the upcoming months and
(13:20):
it'll be hopefully comforting to you, because those moments to
me just gave me peace in a really weary and
attached soul. I didn't, you know, as much as I
was saying, Mom, you can go, there was that part
of me that said, oh my gosh, don't leave me.
You know, even though I know you're going to God
and the infant and we can communicate, don't leave me
(13:43):
but go and that that was one of the things
that really helped me. Even though I knew your mom
was there and your dad and my dad. Of course
my dad was there, Yes, and your dad. They were
all there, all our peeps people are all they were
all friends. Yeah, they were very dear friends. Because I say,
Amanda's my cousin, but if you're new here, she's She's
(14:03):
one of those you know you have sometimes your parents
have such close friends that you end up calling them
aunt and uncle, and so aunt Lisa was my at Lisa,
So Amanda was naturally at Judy, Uncle Cliff, Hunca Lewis,
those were my cousin. So um, that is how she
is referred to at this point. But I guess technically
(14:23):
we could date if yeah, if we were yeah, we
could date. And guess what we There's still we have
a lot of living to do, and I've already talked
about living together, like thirty or plus years from now,
remember like if if we are single or if it
if it comes to it, because our moms lived together,
they did at a point in time, they did and did.
To clarify more like a Golden Girl, Yes, Golden Girls
(14:45):
situation that's yes, but we Yeah, so we wouldn't date,
but we totally would like which I have at being Pad,
We would have a Pad. I want to be Rose.
Are you bland? I'm totally bland? Okay, So we need
to find a Dorothy and a Sophia. Yeah, Which, if
y'all don't watch a Golden Girls, you're missing out. And
(15:06):
right now Amanda and I are watching Dear Edward, which
is on Apple TV or Apple Plus, the same thing
Ted Lasso's on that. I still I'm saving up a
few episodes of that. Amanda still hasn't watched. I haven't
seen it. It's been a year. I've been limited in
my binge shows, but I can't wait to see that.
(15:27):
Every I hear great things. You'll go back to season one.
But Dear Edward, Connie Britton is in it and there's
a plane crash and there's only one survivor and it's
pretty interesting round episode three. So after we get done
recording this, we'll watch some more. And so far, I
would say I recommend it if you're looking for a
new show to watch. And also at the live show.
(16:00):
Also at the live show, Stashira is going to be
singing with Brittany that outweigh theme song, and I was like, oh,
we haven't sung that in a while. Sing song song,
sing sang or song we haven't sang. We haven't sang that.
We haven't saying that. No, it's I think it's sang.
(16:22):
We haven't sang that in a while. Okay, not song.
I sang song sing so excited sang that in a while.
Hill and Brittany was over Britney Spencer was over at
my house one night and that's when we wrote the
song and Stashira was with us, so then we all
performed it together. And Britney's performing other songs which I've
teased on Instagram to night that she's gonna be singing
(16:43):
Cowboy take Me Away by the Chicks and she has
her own cover version of it. She's going to be
doing an original song of hers, and then some other surprises,
but one of those being Stashira coming out and singing
you know. I won't let my body outweigh outweigh everything
that I'm made of. I won't spend my life trying
(17:03):
to change, trying to love who I am. I am strong,
I am free, I know every part of me is
beautiful I can't just talk it. I have to like
but didn't. Hey it was I hadn't heard it, and
I amy played it for me in the car today
was Stashira, and I was blown away. I can't wait
(17:24):
to see this performed because I feel like it's just
a moment. Mistashi is just so cute, and boy it is,
I asked her, I said, hey, do you remember the verse?
You know about Grandma's meals around the table and not
eating them? You know, because what grandma made, you're not
able because she uses probably real like butter and foward
(17:46):
and all the things. But everybody's seeing out on that joy.
And so it was still cute because we were at
Zara and all of a sudden I get a text
message from Stashira and she had listened to the hot
entire thing and typed out all the lyrics and sent
them to me. And it was just a reminder because
sometimes I feel like my kids are not listening to me.
(18:09):
And I had said that just to share in the
car after we picked her at full school and we
were driving home and I didn't really get a response,
and I'm like, okay, well we got we gotta look
at the words and practice all and it was sort
of like, oh yeah, yeah, But then she did hear
we and she was proactive and she sat there and
typed them up without I didn't ask her to do
(18:30):
that or tell her too. I just encouraged her to
try to practice. But then she was so sweet to
send me the lyrics too so that I could practice.
I think she's and that's what I noticed about her
more and more is that she is extremely observant. She's listening,
and I think she is learning from you sometimes. I
think that kind of attraction rather than promotion dealing you
(18:52):
being her mom and a role model, to be intentional
and to me, that was she heard you, then she
was intentional about it, and you didn't have to ask
her again, and you would have might have forgotten until
Friday and things would have been busy. So what a gift,
you know. But I think there's more of that coming
in the future with her. I've seen her be intentional
in a handful of little things that I hadn't even
(19:13):
seen the last time I was here. So and that's
only been what a few months. Yeah, you were here
and disemboly r and then you've got I was at
work this morning, but you got to send some time
with Stevenson. Fully yes, And this morning I come down
and Stevenson is like, hey, good morning, and he's I said,
what are you doing. I'm making my lunch and I said,
oh yeah, and he went full on into he was
(19:35):
making chicken nuggets. He said what should a company that?
Where he decided those things and he was in his flow.
He was I hadn't seen him in the morning. He
was just in his flow. He was being responsible, getting
his stuff done, and it was it was just really
fun to watch because he was on task. And I said, Stevenson,
(19:58):
you're so on tap this morning. He says, yeah, but
you know, I'm not on task that often. And they said,
but not everybody's on task all the time. Doesn't it
feel good to be on task? And he's like yeah.
And it was like another growth moment for him too,
just to see in a handful of months things that
(20:20):
nobody directed him to make his lunch and he was
doing it really in a very relaxed way, which he's
not always relaxed. Now I'm not always relaxed. Oh my gosh,
I had not been relaxed today, which, yeah, I'm the
comic and he was relaxed. Today I listened to like
this twenty minute YouTube talk on being in like a
(20:43):
meditative state of mind and being having your subconscious like
you're paying attention to it. Like a lot of times
you don't know what's going on with your subconscious. That
when you're really dialed in and you've done the work
and you're meditating, your conscious can be aware of it.
You know what I'm saying. Saying it right? Absolutely, Okay,
So you're unconscious can become conscious. Yes, And I was like, oh,
(21:07):
this is so good, this is so I'm right in
line with this. This is so me. And I watched
it twice because in the morning, while I'm doing a
lot of stuff, I had more than twenty minutes. I
was like, oooh, I'm going to watch this twice, and
so I did. And then my day couldn't have gone
(21:29):
really anymore like Woggy. I mean, I guess it could have,
but it let's just say it was very interesting and
I had so many opportunities to reset my conscious mind.
It's kind of like when you forget your car keys
and then you know, you go in, you go get
your car keys. You're already running a little late, and
(21:49):
then you go running out the door and you spill
your coffee on your shirt and you'd already changed your
shirt three times. You know, It's like it starts that
domino effect, and not that your morning started out that way,
because it actually started out calm and fluid, but a
few yeah, around noon, it started to shift. So it can.
It can. You know, your day can get walky at
any time, but then it starts that domino effect. And
(22:09):
I think the question you and I were saying is
how do we slow the dominant when the domino effect happens.
How do you hit the reset button? How do you
set a boundary or give yourself the opportunity to reset?
And for me, a lot of times it's stopping and
remembering not only to take a breath, but ask myself
have I eaten something? Because I when I don't eat,
(22:30):
I mean I love food and nourishment. But when I
don't eat and it's been a long period of time
and the day gets busy, I can feel myself getting
irritable and I'm not grounded or I don't feel nourished,
you know, or have I had enough water? Sometimes it's
really simple stuff that I forget to do that would
help me to reset right, which I was going to. Yeah,
(22:50):
we were on like a zoom when I got home
for a meeting I had to have about the live
and I tried to stop that meeting because I postponed
the meeting to say, I really just need to go
back in my room and meditate for five minutes or
something and like pull myself together because I felt like
I was being very on the call and I don't
(23:11):
want to be low vibe to anybody else. I don't
want to people pick up on that, and I the person.
I wanted to respect the person on the other end
of the zoom and not bring her down, but I
felt like I was just I don't know any of it.
But then there's that other thing about giving yourself grace,
and I have learned a lot of that this year.
(23:34):
Is where I get to be so tough on myself
and I'm working to be up and positive and clear
and present when I don't feel that way on the inside,
and it's okay to it's okay to not be okay.
That's what we came out because that had come out
a few times this week. But also to give yourself
grace because the person you were on the zoo with
(23:54):
is someone you're close to, someone who you know, you
see often. It wasn't like it was a stranger or
a new business meeting. I probably would have pulled in
together over that. Yeah she would have. But then again
there's that is that being healthy? You know, where can
you hit the pause button just for five minutes? While
we never ended up hitting pause because oh shoot, I
have an acupuncture appointment And I was like, okay, well
(24:16):
she was going to hit her pause button and she
needed it. She is ready for it, like she's got
some things on her plate. Yeah, it's gonna go unblock
her energy. This the shared thing and the Stevenson thing too.
(24:38):
Like the reason why we're touching on that is well,
first of all, if you're a parent, like you're sometimes
you feel like you're gully and going and going and
like nothing is happening. There's no fruit to the labor,
and you wonder if anybody's paying attention and if you're
really making a difference, and if you're raising little humans
that are you know, going to be able to function
(25:00):
in the world. And then you have days where you're
reminded which if Amanda wasn't here, I don't know that
I would have been as reminded, but she was able
to share with me about Stevenson's to share like, hey, look,
this is them paying attention. This didn't just come from nowhere.
They're actually doing things. It's it's been it's noticeable. Just
(25:22):
in a short period of time. There growth, and it's
growth that you I know personally that you've been working towards.
It's having an effect. It's rubbing off, it's it's gaining traction.
And I just wanted you to know that because I
know what you've I mean, I know what you've been
walking through. Hey, we're all walking through all of us
are walking through life. Yeah, but we're making a difference
(25:43):
and so also giving ourselves a little bit of grace
when we do have the walky moments and the off times.
You know, yeah, there's there's help and there's you just
got to be patient and then you've got to just
trust the process. And if you're not a parent, you
can still hear those stories as an example, like even
for yourself, Like sometimes you can be on that train
(26:06):
where you feel like you're doing all this work and
you should be making all this progress and then you're
not really understanding why there's not a change, and it
takes repetitive you have to repeat something over and over
to build that new neural pathway and to make change,
and you have to stay committed. And then one day, honestly,
(26:28):
for me, it's almost just like one day, it just shifts.
You know, it's so funny. So today someone who helps me,
my guides me spiritually and personally. You know, you've heard
that saying it's progress not perfection. She said, you know
what I think. I think it's process, not perfection. And
the progress comes meaning if you just if you work consistently,
(26:52):
if you put one foot in front of the other,
if you take the next indicated steps, if you follow
the process, the follow the healthy routines, become consistent, become dedicated.
Its process, not perfection, and the process creates the progress,
which is exactly what happened today. No I like that. Yeah,
I mean, but that's exactly what she told me today
(27:12):
and exactly what you're saying. So to me, that's a
divine synchronicity of Oh, it just clicked for me, and
that's how it happened in our day, Process not perfection.
The progress comes. Yeah, and maybe part of who knows,
I could have derailed way worse. I had my little derails,
(27:33):
But if I hadn't have watched those videos this morning,
maybe I would have derailed who knows. Walking in and
knowing that Kara ate my vision board could it threatened
me completely furlop. I mean all I did was scream,
and then I feel like I handled it pretty well.
And then we laughed about it all day because we're like,
what what or is this? What is the universe telling
it well? Because also because of some of the parts
(27:55):
which we won't talk about that she ate we mentioned before,
but there was other things on there and I was like, dang,
I was really looking forward to that. What is the sween?
But you know, yes, I have grace for myself and
I do understand that at least I was aware all along.
And I think that's the coolest part is being aware
(28:15):
when you are low vibe. Yeah, and because because you
get the opportunity to make a decision to shift it
or stay in it if you need to. Sometimes we
have to stay in it a little bit. We need
to process something. Process not perfection. Yeah, process not perfection.
I like that and then you were also, like you said,
reminded that that's saying that we love here too, is
it's okay to not be okay and Kat and I
(28:39):
have talked about that before. Which speaking of Cat Dafada,
who co hosts The Fifth Thing with me, she was
on FaceTime with us earlier and she said that some
of her younger clients that come in and they're talking
about their different dramas in life, that they just like,
you know what, it's all part of the plot. That's
like the cool kid way to say, you know, this
(29:01):
is just part of the plans. This is part of
the bigger picture. But I feel as though now I've
got the hook up on the lingo very much so.
And I think there's a lot of subtexts too. It's
part of the plot because me thinking, oh, there's this
bigger picture and what is the real story. We won't
go into that, but I think it's really deep. Actually
my plot. No, it's part of the No, not your plot,
(29:22):
the plot. It's part of the plot. Oh. I was like,
tell me more like like capital t capital the plot,
not Amy's plot. The plot. The plots. Yes, So if
you want to be hip and cool, yes, say it's
all part of the plot. Yeah, if life starts to
take some weird choice and turns and you're not understanding
and be like, you know what, it's all part of
the plot and I'm here for it. Like we're all
(29:45):
on this ride, and this is every little piece to
the puzzle is being put together, and then you get
to step back and look at this beautiful creation, even
though it doesn't make sense at the time that it's happening,
and a I don't know. Hopefully this was an interesting
kind of little conversation where you got some some nuggets,
(30:06):
some takeaway of some sort. We were just giving you
a glimpse into that day, good day, and how a
day can be so full, but also give you opportunities,
or give us opportunities to pause and reflect and grow,
which I feel like your podcast which is called Soul Sessions,
(30:26):
which hasn't debuted yet, but that's what you're gonna be
walking through with. I think a lot of people is
their plot, their plot. It's true, and it's about the
intention behind it is, you know, leaving bigger, leaving brighter,
leaving better, leaving higher than you came. So it's it's
(30:48):
really about not just our lifetimes and what our legacy
is and how we grow and evolve and heal and
learn and expand. It's also about you, know where you
can begin to find meaning and purpose in daily living
and interactions. Meaning, find your spirit, bring your soul into
(31:09):
your human self, and be true to yourself and live
in God's divine light. I'm super excited. I'm excited about
fun guests that we'll have on We'll do live readings,
We'll talk about lots of metaphysical energetic themes, astrology, numerology, intentionality,
(31:31):
the law of attraction, intuition, development, all sort of oracle
cards and how those can be fun tools to add
value personal spiritual growth and connect you with your soul,
your higher self and you're evolving meaning or purpose. I
love it. I can't wait. We'll keep I'll posts on
(31:51):
dates once we know. But I've told a man that
she needs to take a little break from working so
much because she's got to do some r and R,
especially with what's going with her mom. Which I was
just flipping through my journal and I landed on February twenty,
twenty twenty three, and my first line is ant Lisa
passed away this morning of four or four am. I
(32:12):
talked to Amanda around six am, and she seemed to
be doing well, but obviously that parts of roller Coaster.
You seemed to be doing well, but I knew that
more would come, more would kind of in this sort
of weird shot place of like, well, that just happened.
But then I know you also had a moment to
(32:32):
day where you literally thought you were going to call her,
like you, yeah, something you wanted to share soon, you
were like picking up your phone, and then you realized, oh, shoot,
I'm not going to be able to call her. And
I have certainly had those moments with my parents as well.
So take this as encouragement that if you do have
(32:52):
living parents or parent parential fingers or people like that
in your life and they cross your mind to call,
then call them. Call them for us. Don't put that off.
But I had just literally flipped to that page and
that's what I read, and that's literally why you're taking
a break And the podcast is delayed a little bit
longer than we thought. But you know, that's part of
(33:15):
the plot. It's part of the Plot's part of the plot,
is totally part of the plot. Does this make possible
and then we were flipping through my journal earlier and
all these pages fell out of like this psycho moment
that I was having one day, and I hold on
to the pages. I hold on to them to remind
me don't go back to this place where which was
very unhealthy and like a looping in my brain that
(33:41):
was sort of stuck. And I'm so glad there's a
pattern that needs to be broken and the loop stopped.
And a lot of that was therapy and different things
that I was doing. My process, not perfection. You've been
continuing your growth, continuing your evolution, which is a lot
of what the podcast is about, which is all of
Amy's network. All of the women on Amy's Network are
(34:05):
showing ways to be healthier, healthier living, more holistic living. Yeah,
Kat and meeting you need Therapy, Lisa has Truthius Life,
Megan Dubayan has her whole podcasts instead. She's a grief
expert and therapist. In fact, I I need to connect
with her. I'm excited to connect with her to some
of her episodes and everything that she has to offer.
(34:29):
I'm excited that you're coming on and Ali Fallon will
be joining with her Write Your Story podcast and then
outweighs on there before we go. I also flipped to
another page in my journal. I think this was an
exercise I had to do. Like it was day two
of something that I was doing. For each day it
had an assignment, and it's so cool to go back
(34:51):
and look at stuff like this, You know, I don't.
I guess the day that I did this was January
second of this year than you do at a manifest
station challenge or some things, yeah, not challenge, but and
something just to see where I was that day. Things
that I was going to choose for myself, I choose abundance, opportunity, connection, work, brilliance, capability,
(35:16):
high hives only when the low vibescrib in happiness, clean
and organized, on time, healthy me. I choose me. I
choose the kids, friendship, love, being good at things, ideas, creativity,
getting ahead, believing in myself, a full house, listening my
(35:36):
side of the street, dinners at the table, game nights,
weekends away, harmony, and to try things because trying is cool.
Those are all the things. It's like, Oh, I love
all of that, And I feel as though because I
set that intention early in the year, I see a
(35:57):
lot of this taking place, not all all of it,
but I still have a lot of the A lot
of it aligns, and I think, what's interesting about this?
And if you know me, I'm going to go right
back to astrology. The sign has just entered aries. Aries
is the sign of I Am. I choose I, the
sign of the individual are the mighty I am. So
going back and looking at this and now being in
(36:19):
the energy of moving forward with momentum, a pioneering spirit,
a courage shout out happy birthday to all the aries
out there. That's the energy of right now, I choose
I Am. You know I'm excited too. And you've worked
a lot on your language. That's let's close with that today.
You've been so mindful. We've been talking about this about
(36:40):
language and the power of language in our words and
the way we say things like give the example of
the dishes w you said I hate and then you
shifted it fast. That's a going I hate is strong.
But this y'all will get it. Y'all will understand. Let's
go in somewhere good and then well, the podcast listeners
know because I've done a whole episode on this, probably
maybe three weeks ago, because I three weeks ago my
(37:02):
mother was dying, so I have not I am not
caught up in your podcast. Well it's fine, I understand,
but it's something I was passionate about. So I wanted
to share it with listeners because maybe they would want
to join me in flipping the vocabulary. Vocabulary to be
positive at all times, even if you know we're not
really saying anything bad. But I just wouldn't get the
(37:24):
negative words out of my brain. So yes, earlier, I
did the dishes because I like waking up to no dishes.
And I looked at me and and I was like, Okay,
I just to the dishes because I hate when the
sink is dirty. And I paused, and I was like, nope,
I love when my sink is clean. I love waking
(37:45):
up to a clean sink. I love when the stays leap.
And I remember, you know, years ago, I mean, the
power of I am has been around for a long time.
I mean, that's you know, the beginning of Genesis. You know,
in the beginning was the word, and the word was
you know, it was made flesh, it I am. But
Joel Ostein wrote a book and it said whatever follows
your whatever follows your I am follows you, I am sad,
(38:10):
I am tired. That follows you rather than saying, I
am looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight, I'm
looking forward to waking up revitalized. Whatever follows your I
am follows to you. One of the examples that we
talked about on that episode. And by way I mean me,
but I'm talking to my listeners. Yes see, very inclusive.
(38:31):
Everybody out there is part of it's part of the
crew of the tribe. Yeah, So it was like, instead
of saying I'm exhausted, you say I need rest. So
I'm really, really, really really working hard. And I know
eventually i won't have to work as hard because I'm
going to have the positive words are going to take over.
(38:51):
Because what I learned in that episode when I was
researching for it, is the brain has a negative bias.
So when you say the negative word, it doesn't know
specifically what you're talking about. It just heard the word can't.
It just heard the word hate. It just heard the
word DoPT or I won't or never, like you know,
(39:12):
whatever these words are that you don't even mean harm,
Like even if someone says to you, like, hey, how's
it going and you say couldn't be better? Well, they
don't even want you to say they. I don't know
who they is. Now you're talking to my people that
I bring in the hey, my crew, that they could
they couldn't. You're even though you're saying something positive like
(39:34):
you couldn't be better than not right, so you could
say you know, doing great, yeah, instead of so that's
the whole thing. Um, all right, blah blah blah blah blah,
Where it could it go? Why did I say earlier? Right? Thought?
Oh I was so yeah. I had so much going
on in my head during one of the meetings today
that I was telling Kat earlier that it felt like
(39:57):
I was just hearing Charlie Brown either they're not Robber,
and I just was like, uh huh okay, but my
brain was not processing anything they were saying. They just
sounded like ram Rock. It gets that way centimes. It
is that way for all of us. And that's when
you know, wait a minute, I need I need to
take a breath. I need to take a beat. I
(40:18):
need rest and I need rest, which I need right now.
So um, we're gonna go. Y'all are awesome if you're
coming to the Live on Saturday. We cannot wait. If
you're coming to the pop up shop in Nashville on
Friday for Haiti, it's a little happy hour that we're

can join us from four to seven Pimp and joy
(40:40):
four Things items as Squaw the Shot Forward sent a
ton of stuff and it's going to be fifty percent off,
and so it's like a deal for you. And then
also all the proceeds going to My Life Speaks, which
again some people have been like, well that would if
we're getting a deal in the donations down, Well, yes,
but that's okay because we want every ready to win
and My Life Speaks under they know that too, so
(41:04):
but the more we solve then they'll still get a
higher donation, if that makes sense. And then Alive on Saturday,
and if you can't make it, we'll be uploading the
episodes at some point soon. I'm not sure when the
Four Things will air, but the Fifth Thing, we're taping

Joe, Okay, cass up rope th little food for yourself
life ain't Oh it's pretty much Hey, it's pretty beautiful
than beautiful laughs. A little mouth tightening up said he
(00:28):
you're kicking with four Happy Thursday. Welcome to Four Things.
Amy here, and my cousin Amanda is joining me. We're
actually sitting on my bed recording this on my phone
and you'll figure out why in a minute. But I'm
gonna rattle off. Oh say hey Amanda, Hi everyone, and
(00:50):
she's at soul Pathology on Instagram and my psychic cousin
if you've heard on the Bobby Bone Show. But this
is what we're gonna talk about. We wrote it down
before weard about my dog ate my vision board. Also
she ate Amanda's pills, a lot of them. What does
this make possible? As something I've said I don't know,
(01:10):
like five hundred times today and I'm still not quite sure.
We're gonna talk about Zara Flawful, Judy the Angel, how
my episode which this is going to be the only
time I'm talking about this. Doctor Mark Kyman was supposed
to be joining me for Four Things today and I
did interview him. But I'm going to move that episode
probably till next week, just some things I don't know,
(01:33):
I want to add to it. Like I just was like, fun,
this is interesting. It might not have fit into the
flow of this week. Yeah, it just't wasn't giving me
the energy that I wanted this episode to have Stashira
and her singing, Stevenson being on task, being a good mom,
(01:53):
which is something really about Amanda, not me, skincare Ice rolling,
Lisa's mom passing, and you know I mensioned a second ago.
Judy the Angel kind of has to do with that
and just how divine that whole experience was. And then
Amanda's new podcast, which is I'm gonna debut soon and
it's called Soul Sessions. So here we go. We're going
(02:16):
to talk about my dog eating my vision board and
I'm so sad because it was really only the corner
of my vision board and we're trying to decide what
does that really mean, like what is God telling me?
And then Amanda's like, well, you know dog spelled backwards?
Its God. Well, And there was also a loud scream
downstairs like something really bad had happened, and there was
(02:38):
a chunk out of the vision board I mean that's
just basically the way the day went. And it was like,
you know, a chunk missing from the vision board, and
there were some precious pieces in that chunk. Yeah, those
those were things. I really they were dreams. That chunk
was kind of full of dreams. See. It's almost like
God is telling me not this year, you know, like
(03:00):
I know, you really wanted that horse, and there really
was a horse. This s was even a faketure of
a horse. I do want a horse one day. But
yet I do realize that the scream I let out
probably led anybody else in the house to believe that
I had encountered a snake or a dead body, But
(03:22):
it was really just my vision board had been eaten
by the dog. And our dog has been acting so crazy.
He's a labordoodle named Kara. Shirty has a lot of
anxiety because she's a rescue and I just got like
attachment issues. But we had to put her on some
men's last week, and I had no idea that the
meds were making her crazy. But when Amanda looked at them,
(03:44):
she said, yeah, it was Prendo zone. It's a steroid.
And if you know, you totally know what I'm talking about.
I've taken it one time and it made me feel
like my brain was rattling around in my head. I
won't do it again unless I have to. My mom
did it once while she was sick. She was up
eating in the middle of the night. And then we
had our lab on pregna zone for his hips. He's
(04:05):
six almost sixteen years old, and he was eating. He
ate a photo album of my mother and I and
he hasn't chewed on anything since he was a puppy,
So I mean, it's pregna zone really makes you kukuku
choo well, And so we went to Zara tonight to
try to find our final outfits for the live podcast
on Saturday, because I still had no idea when I'm wearing.
(04:28):
But while we were at the mall, Kara got into
our guest bedroom where Amanda is staying and got into
her pill box. And Amanda is here for a week,
so she had a week's worth of pill And if
you've seen our supplements in my household, my husband is
a massive proponent of healthy living and supplements, and these
were all supplements, like lots of natural supplements, but lots
(04:49):
of melatonin was eaten like you know, not the allotted
three to five milligrams in the evening, the chewable kind
multiple is speaking of that something I'm going to add
in here. The gummies that I'm loving. I've always been
a fan of the calm powder that you mix in
water before bedtime, but I got the gummy version and
(05:12):
it's fun because they taste good and feel like you're
getting a little candy and a little treat in the evening. Yeah,
and they're sprinkled with I don't even know, some sort
of sugary thing on top. And you get to take
four because you're an adult. If you're a child, I
think you take one. But I'm like, oh, I'm going
to take four, and I haven't enjoying taking those at
(05:33):
night a lot. And then something else I'm taking at night.
I found this Whole Foods when I was in Austin
for your mom's funeral, because I sometimes when I travel,
like to take Mago seven for magnesium so that you know,
you go to the bathroom or whatever. But Whole Foods
was out, so I found this renew Life and it's
called Cleansmore and it's an herbal and mineral formula like
(05:57):
an overnight thing that promotes waste and toxin and the elimination,
you know what I'm saying. But you only have to
take two and it has two hundred and thirty milligrams
and magnesium oxide, which magnesium is really something we all
need we do and you have to be mindful not
to take too much magnesium. But two thirty that's not
(06:18):
bad too, but until to you, it's very calming and
it's healthy, and it's helping me with elimp toxins and
an elimidation because I have not been that regular, especially
after you get a colonoscopy. They said, don't we surprise
you how who don't go to the bathroom for a while.
And this has been very healthy situations happening. Not this
(06:40):
stuff crazy? And what does this make possible whole food's
being out of Mago seven? I think this might be better.
So anyway, fun fact about that, Just so you all know,
Kara is doing fine and she's relaxed and back to
the friend zone for just a minute. I have a
tax to say a big shout out because I've only
had to take it once for something, you know, in
a cute inflammation. But I know a handful of people
(07:03):
who have certain autoimmune disorders or things where they have
had to be on Preda z own long term, and
it creates all sorts of challenges in the body. So
that's probably, you know, for anybody who is who regularly
takes Preda zown, it can really tax your body and anyway.
So but Kara, but she's I've been dealing with the
(07:23):
short term fallout, which you all know. Yeah, she's asleep
right now, but I'll probably go check and make sure
that she's breathing here in a minute. When we were
at Zara, I gotta say we found some super cute
suits there. I don't know what this one in particular
is called, but there's this blazer with a belt that
goes around the waist and a great straight leg trouser
(07:48):
that would fit so many body types. I mean really
like I'm short, Amy's a little taller than me and
just depends on like it really great for almost anybody type. Yes,
so maybe you could go to Zara dot com and
put in like blazer trouser set or something with a tie,
because the blazer ties. They have a hot pink one
(08:09):
ish I guess the top pink. They have an orange
one and they have a white one, So that's one
way maybe we could differentiate, which you know set I'm
talking about because it is so so so cute. I'm
gonna have to have it altered if i end up
going with it, which I mean a lot of times.
For Zara, you do like Amanda would. Yes, it's way
(08:30):
too long. Rant could fit two of me backed on
top of each other like a circus act. Hurt eggs.
How tall are you? Five one? Okay? Yeah? Yeah? Five one?
Five one? And you love falafel, Yeah, I love falafel.
Amy didn't know what falafel was, And I mean, I'm
so surprised for so many of your vegetarian and kind
of vegan years that you didn't know. Falafel chickpeas, ground
(08:53):
chick peas with spices and goodness and then kind of
rolled up into a ball of goodness and fried. It's
a good protein supplement, but it makes my day, especially
when I'm having some kind of Mediterranean to zeke olive oil, cucumber.
I enjoyed my salad tonight. Well, I know you got
falafel last night. I had falafel last night and tonight,
(09:14):
two nights in a row. Which now I'm going to
need to trifle awful. I just didn't know. I don't
typically eat Greek because or Mediterranean because I don't like olives. Okay,
but you there's no olive and falafel, right. So but
I realized, oh, you can still go to some of
these restaurants. When we went went, we say, went to
Kava and Tacava. Oh that place is so good to
(09:35):
know we have one in Austin. There's one here. They're
all over. It's just like a Chipotle, but more with
the Mediterranean flair. Yeah, and the basmati rice is so good.
And I got lentils in a rugula and the lemon tahini,
the lemon tahini dressing made my evening. So I feel
like my mom, Judy, she would love Kava. She absolutely
(09:58):
would love Kamma. She would have loved it. So let's
talk about how she showed up whenever your mom was
transitioning to the other side. The hospice nurse was there
and she said she sensed angels in the room and
that one of them was my mom. Yes, I mean
there was there was so much that happened that was
miraculous and divine painful and traumatic and tragic and beautiful
(10:22):
at the same time. But we had this lovely nurse
came in a kind of a critical juncture of my
mom's condition changing and us needing to make sure she
was really comfortable and that we were administering her medications correctly.
And it was stressful because even though I've been around
hospice and I've been in these situations before, it was
my mother, and I was afraid maybe I wasn't, you know,
(10:46):
showing up and creating as much comfort as I could
for her. So this nurse comes in, and she came
in kind of like an angel herself, but she helped
get my mom comfortable, and she, you know, obviously doesn't
know us. She was just on hall that weekend. She
works five weekends a month. But we were talking and
she shared some really sweet tips with me about my
(11:07):
energy and my mom walking between the world and experiencing
unconditional love in the human world and then glimpses of
God's love, divine love, infinite love. But she was receiving
so much comfort and unconditional love and care in the
human world that it was hard to let go and
reach towards God's love. So she said, Amanda, you need
(11:30):
to create some space, you need to go on a walk,
you need to be out of this room more to
give her more time. So she gave me all these
beautiful tips. But the next morning she called me and
at some point I'll share the longer version of this
story because it is one of the most magnificent and
mystifying things I've ever experienced. And if you know me,
(11:53):
I'm spiritual. This is what I do as my gift
and being connected and sharing my gifts with people and
connecting them to their own divinity and God and source.
But this was just it was otherworldly. And she says
the next morning she called to check in, and she says,
there are these three small angels I feel like at
the bottom of your mom's bed. And she says, they're younger,
(12:15):
and they're smaller, she says, but there's this one angel,
this beautiful little angel in the center, and she keeps
channeling this energy to your mom and saying, I've got
you with joy, I've got you with joy. We're doing
this with pure joy. And this woman has never met
me before, has no indication. And one of the things
that my mom said, my dad is deceased, My grandparents
(12:37):
are gone, her sister is gone. She said, of course
I want all of those people there. But she told
Amy a while back the last time Amy visited, she said,
but you know, I just really want your mom to
come get me. And as you all know, I don't
have to tell you what Joy represents for Amy, you know,
and your Fredgie's life or her friend Judy. Joy for Judy.
(12:58):
And so this woman, you know, literally articulated that there
was this little angel down at the bottom, this beautiful
little angel, saying I've got you with Joy. So it
was like Aunt Judy was right there in the center,
which is exactly what Mom wanted. And I, like I said,
there were so many miraculous things, and I know I'll
be able to share those in the upcoming months and
(13:20):
it'll be hopefully comforting to you, because those moments to
me just gave me peace in a really weary and
attached soul. I didn't, you know, as much as I
was saying, Mom, you can go, there was that part
of me that said, oh my gosh, don't leave me.
You know, even though I know you're going to God
and the infant and we can communicate, don't leave me
(13:43):
but go and that that was one of the things
that really helped me. Even though I knew your mom
was there and your dad and my dad. Of course
my dad was there, Yes, and your dad. They were
all there, all our peeps people are all they were
all friends. Yeah, they were very dear friends. Because I say,
Amanda's my cousin, but if you're new here, she's She's
(14:03):
one of those you know you have sometimes your parents
have such close friends that you end up calling them
aunt and uncle, and so aunt Lisa was my at Lisa,
So Amanda was naturally at Judy, Uncle Cliff, Hunca Lewis,
those were my cousin. So um, that is how she
is referred to at this point. But I guess technically
(14:23):
we could date if yeah, if we were yeah, we
could date. And guess what we There's still we have
a lot of living to do, and I've already talked
about living together, like thirty or plus years from now,
remember like if if we are single or if it
if it comes to it, because our moms lived together,
they did at a point in time, they did and did.
To clarify more like a Golden Girl, Yes, Golden Girls
(14:45):
situation that's yes, but we Yeah, so we wouldn't date,
but we totally would like which I have at being Pad,
We would have a Pad. I want to be Rose.
Are you bland? I'm totally bland? Okay, So we need
to find a Dorothy and a Sophia. Yeah, Which, if
y'all don't watch a Golden Girls, you're missing out. And
(15:06):
right now Amanda and I are watching Dear Edward, which
is on Apple TV or Apple Plus, the same thing
Ted Lasso's on that. I still I'm saving up a
few episodes of that. Amanda still hasn't watched. I haven't
seen it. It's been a year. I've been limited in
my binge shows, but I can't wait to see that.
(15:27):
Every I hear great things. You'll go back to season one.
But Dear Edward, Connie Britton is in it and there's
a plane crash and there's only one survivor and it's
pretty interesting round episode three. So after we get done
recording this, we'll watch some more. And so far, I
would say I recommend it if you're looking for a
new show to watch. And also at the live show.
(16:00):
Also at the live show, Stashira is going to be
singing with Brittany that outweigh theme song, and I was like, oh,
we haven't sung that in a while. Sing song song,
sing sang or song we haven't sang. We haven't sang that.
We haven't saying that. No, it's I think it's sang.
(16:22):
We haven't sang that in a while. Okay, not song.
I sang song sing so excited sang that in a while.
Hill and Brittany was over Britney Spencer was over at
my house one night and that's when we wrote the
song and Stashira was with us, so then we all
performed it together. And Britney's performing other songs which I've
teased on Instagram to night that she's gonna be singing
(16:43):
Cowboy take Me Away by the Chicks and she has
her own cover version of it. She's going to be
doing an original song of hers, and then some other surprises,
but one of those being Stashira coming out and singing
you know. I won't let my body outweigh outweigh everything
that I'm made of. I won't spend my life trying
(17:03):
to change, trying to love who I am. I am strong,
I am free, I know every part of me is
beautiful I can't just talk it. I have to like
but didn't. Hey it was I hadn't heard it, and
I amy played it for me in the car today
was Stashira, and I was blown away. I can't wait
(17:24):
to see this performed because I feel like it's just
a moment. Mistashi is just so cute, and boy it is,
I asked her, I said, hey, do you remember the verse?
You know about Grandma's meals around the table and not
eating them? You know, because what grandma made, you're not
able because she uses probably real like butter and foward
(17:46):
and all the things. But everybody's seeing out on that joy.
And so it was still cute because we were at
Zara and all of a sudden I get a text
message from Stashira and she had listened to the hot
entire thing and typed out all the lyrics and sent
them to me. And it was just a reminder because
sometimes I feel like my kids are not listening to me.
(18:09):
And I had said that just to share in the
car after we picked her at full school and we
were driving home and I didn't really get a response,
and I'm like, okay, well we got we gotta look
at the words and practice all and it was sort
of like, oh yeah, yeah, But then she did hear
we and she was proactive and she sat there and
typed them up without I didn't ask her to do
(18:30):
that or tell her too. I just encouraged her to
try to practice. But then she was so sweet to
send me the lyrics too so that I could practice.
I think she's and that's what I noticed about her
more and more is that she is extremely observant. She's listening,
and I think she is learning from you sometimes. I
think that kind of attraction rather than promotion dealing you
(18:52):
being her mom and a role model, to be intentional
and to me, that was she heard you, then she
was intentional about it, and you didn't have to ask
her again, and you would have might have forgotten until
Friday and things would have been busy. So what a gift,
you know. But I think there's more of that coming
in the future with her. I've seen her be intentional
in a handful of little things that I hadn't even
(19:13):
seen the last time I was here. So and that's
only been what a few months. Yeah, you were here
and disemboly r and then you've got I was at
work this morning, but you got to send some time
with Stevenson. Fully yes, And this morning I come down
and Stevenson is like, hey, good morning, and he's I said,
what are you doing. I'm making my lunch and I said,
oh yeah, and he went full on into he was
(19:35):
making chicken nuggets. He said what should a company that?
Where he decided those things and he was in his flow.
He was I hadn't seen him in the morning. He
was just in his flow. He was being responsible, getting
his stuff done, and it was it was just really
fun to watch because he was on task. And I said, Stevenson,
(19:58):
you're so on tap this morning. He says, yeah, but
you know, I'm not on task that often. And they said,
but not everybody's on task all the time. Doesn't it
feel good to be on task? And he's like yeah.
And it was like another growth moment for him too,
just to see in a handful of months things that
(20:20):
nobody directed him to make his lunch and he was
doing it really in a very relaxed way, which he's
not always relaxed. Now I'm not always relaxed. Oh my gosh,
I had not been relaxed today, which, yeah, I'm the
comic and he was relaxed. Today I listened to like
this twenty minute YouTube talk on being in like a
(20:43):
meditative state of mind and being having your subconscious like
you're paying attention to it. Like a lot of times
you don't know what's going on with your subconscious. That
when you're really dialed in and you've done the work
and you're meditating, your conscious can be aware of it.
You know what I'm saying. Saying it right? Absolutely, Okay,
So you're unconscious can become conscious. Yes, And I was like, oh,
(21:07):
this is so good, this is so I'm right in
line with this. This is so me. And I watched
it twice because in the morning, while I'm doing a
lot of stuff, I had more than twenty minutes. I
was like, oooh, I'm going to watch this twice, and
so I did. And then my day couldn't have gone
(21:29):
really anymore like Woggy. I mean, I guess it could have,
but it let's just say it was very interesting and
I had so many opportunities to reset my conscious mind.
It's kind of like when you forget your car keys
and then you know, you go in, you go get
your car keys. You're already running a little late, and
(21:49):
then you go running out the door and you spill
your coffee on your shirt and you'd already changed your
shirt three times. You know, It's like it starts that
domino effect, and not that your morning started out that way,
because it actually started out calm and fluid, but a
few yeah, around noon, it started to shift. So it can.
It can. You know, your day can get walky at
any time, but then it starts that domino effect. And
(22:09):
I think the question you and I were saying is
how do we slow the dominant when the domino effect happens.
How do you hit the reset button? How do you
set a boundary or give yourself the opportunity to reset?
And for me, a lot of times it's stopping and
remembering not only to take a breath, but ask myself
have I eaten something? Because I when I don't eat,
(22:30):
I mean I love food and nourishment. But when I
don't eat and it's been a long period of time
and the day gets busy, I can feel myself getting
irritable and I'm not grounded or I don't feel nourished,
you know, or have I had enough water? Sometimes it's
really simple stuff that I forget to do that would
help me to reset right, which I was going to. Yeah,
(22:50):
we were on like a zoom when I got home
for a meeting I had to have about the live
and I tried to stop that meeting because I postponed
the meeting to say, I really just need to go
back in my room and meditate for five minutes or
something and like pull myself together because I felt like
I was being very on the call and I don't
(23:11):
want to be low vibe to anybody else. I don't
want to people pick up on that, and I the person.
I wanted to respect the person on the other end
of the zoom and not bring her down, but I
felt like I was just I don't know any of it.
But then there's that other thing about giving yourself grace,
and I have learned a lot of that this year.
(23:34):
Is where I get to be so tough on myself
and I'm working to be up and positive and clear
and present when I don't feel that way on the inside,
and it's okay to it's okay to not be okay.
That's what we came out because that had come out
a few times this week. But also to give yourself
grace because the person you were on the zoo with
(23:54):
is someone you're close to, someone who you know, you
see often. It wasn't like it was a stranger or
a new business meeting. I probably would have pulled in
together over that. Yeah she would have. But then again
there's that is that being healthy? You know, where can
you hit the pause button just for five minutes? While
we never ended up hitting pause because oh shoot, I
have an acupuncture appointment And I was like, okay, well
(24:16):
she was going to hit her pause button and she
needed it. She is ready for it, like she's got
some things on her plate. Yeah, it's gonna go unblock
her energy. This the shared thing and the Stevenson thing too.
(24:38):
Like the reason why we're touching on that is well,
first of all, if you're a parent, like you're sometimes
you feel like you're gully and going and going and
like nothing is happening. There's no fruit to the labor,
and you wonder if anybody's paying attention and if you're
really making a difference, and if you're raising little humans
that are you know, going to be able to function
(25:00):
in the world. And then you have days where you're
reminded which if Amanda wasn't here, I don't know that
I would have been as reminded, but she was able
to share with me about Stevenson's to share like, hey, look,
this is them paying attention. This didn't just come from nowhere.
They're actually doing things. It's it's been it's noticeable. Just
(25:22):
in a short period of time. There growth, and it's
growth that you I know personally that you've been working towards.
It's having an effect. It's rubbing off, it's it's gaining traction.
And I just wanted you to know that because I
know what you've I mean, I know what you've been
walking through. Hey, we're all walking through all of us
are walking through life. Yeah, but we're making a difference
(25:43):
and so also giving ourselves a little bit of grace
when we do have the walky moments and the off times.
You know, yeah, there's there's help and there's you just
got to be patient and then you've got to just
trust the process. And if you're not a parent, you
can still hear those stories as an example, like even
for yourself, Like sometimes you can be on that train
(26:06):
where you feel like you're doing all this work and
you should be making all this progress and then you're
not really understanding why there's not a change, and it
takes repetitive you have to repeat something over and over
to build that new neural pathway and to make change,
and you have to stay committed. And then one day, honestly,
(26:28):
for me, it's almost just like one day, it just shifts.
You know, it's so funny. So today someone who helps me,
my guides me spiritually and personally. You know, you've heard
that saying it's progress not perfection. She said, you know
what I think. I think it's process, not perfection. And
the progress comes meaning if you just if you work consistently,
(26:52):
if you put one foot in front of the other,
if you take the next indicated steps, if you follow
the process, the follow the healthy routines, become consistent, become dedicated.
Its process, not perfection, and the process creates the progress,
which is exactly what happened today. No I like that. Yeah,
I mean, but that's exactly what she told me today
(27:12):
and exactly what you're saying. So to me, that's a
divine synchronicity of Oh, it just clicked for me, and
that's how it happened in our day, Process not perfection.
The progress comes. Yeah, and maybe part of who knows,
I could have derailed way worse. I had my little derails,
(27:33):
But if I hadn't have watched those videos this morning,
maybe I would have derailed who knows. Walking in and
knowing that Kara ate my vision board could it threatened
me completely furlop. I mean all I did was scream,
and then I feel like I handled it pretty well.
And then we laughed about it all day because we're like,
what what or is this? What is the universe telling
it well? Because also because of some of the parts
(27:55):
which we won't talk about that she ate we mentioned before,
but there was other things on there and I was like, dang,
I was really looking forward to that. What is the sween?
But you know, yes, I have grace for myself and
I do understand that at least I was aware all along.
And I think that's the coolest part is being aware
(28:15):
when you are low vibe. Yeah, and because because you
get the opportunity to make a decision to shift it
or stay in it if you need to. Sometimes we
have to stay in it a little bit. We need
to process something. Process not perfection. Yeah, process not perfection.
I like that and then you were also, like you said,
reminded that that's saying that we love here too, is
it's okay to not be okay and Kat and I
(28:39):
have talked about that before. Which speaking of Cat Dafada,
who co hosts The Fifth Thing with me, she was
on FaceTime with us earlier and she said that some
of her younger clients that come in and they're talking
about their different dramas in life, that they just like,
you know what, it's all part of the plot. That's
like the cool kid way to say, you know, this
(29:01):
is just part of the plans. This is part of
the bigger picture. But I feel as though now I've
got the hook up on the lingo very much so.
And I think there's a lot of subtexts too. It's
part of the plot because me thinking, oh, there's this
bigger picture and what is the real story. We won't
go into that, but I think it's really deep. Actually
my plot. No, it's part of the No, not your plot,
(29:22):
the plot. It's part of the plot. Oh. I was like,
tell me more like like capital t capital the plot,
not Amy's plot. The plot. The plots. Yes, So if
you want to be hip and cool, yes, say it's
all part of the plot. Yeah, if life starts to
take some weird choice and turns and you're not understanding
and be like, you know what, it's all part of
the plot and I'm here for it. Like we're all
(29:45):
on this ride, and this is every little piece to
the puzzle is being put together, and then you get
to step back and look at this beautiful creation, even
though it doesn't make sense at the time that it's happening,
and a I don't know. Hopefully this was an interesting
kind of little conversation where you got some some nuggets,
(30:06):
some takeaway of some sort. We were just giving you
a glimpse into that day, good day, and how a
day can be so full, but also give you opportunities,
or give us opportunities to pause and reflect and grow,
which I feel like your podcast which is called Soul Sessions,
(30:26):
which hasn't debuted yet, but that's what you're gonna be
walking through with. I think a lot of people is
their plot, their plot. It's true, and it's about the
intention behind it is, you know, leaving bigger, leaving brighter,
leaving better, leaving higher than you came. So it's it's
(30:48):
really about not just our lifetimes and what our legacy
is and how we grow and evolve and heal and
learn and expand. It's also about you, know where you
can begin to find meaning and purpose in daily living
and interactions. Meaning, find your spirit, bring your soul into
(31:09):
your human self, and be true to yourself and live
in God's divine light. I'm super excited. I'm excited about
fun guests that we'll have on We'll do live readings,
We'll talk about lots of metaphysical energetic themes, astrology, numerology, intentionality,
(31:31):
the law of attraction, intuition, development, all sort of oracle
cards and how those can be fun tools to add
value personal spiritual growth and connect you with your soul,
your higher self and you're evolving meaning or purpose. I
love it. I can't wait. We'll keep I'll posts on
(31:51):
dates once we know. But I've told a man that
she needs to take a little break from working so
much because she's got to do some r and R,
especially with what's going with her mom. Which I was
just flipping through my journal and I landed on February twenty,
twenty twenty three, and my first line is ant Lisa
passed away this morning of four or four am. I
(32:12):
talked to Amanda around six am, and she seemed to
be doing well, but obviously that parts of roller Coaster.
You seemed to be doing well, but I knew that
more would come, more would kind of in this sort
of weird shot place of like, well, that just happened.
But then I know you also had a moment to
(32:32):
day where you literally thought you were going to call her,
like you, yeah, something you wanted to share soon, you
were like picking up your phone, and then you realized, oh, shoot,
I'm not going to be able to call her. And
I have certainly had those moments with my parents as well.
So take this as encouragement that if you do have
(32:52):
living parents or parent parential fingers or people like that
in your life and they cross your mind to call,
then call them. Call them for us. Don't put that off.
But I had just literally flipped to that page and
that's what I read, and that's literally why you're taking
a break And the podcast is delayed a little bit
longer than we thought. But you know, that's part of
(33:15):
the plot. It's part of the Plot's part of the plot,
is totally part of the plot. Does this make possible
and then we were flipping through my journal earlier and
all these pages fell out of like this psycho moment
that I was having one day, and I hold on
to the pages. I hold on to them to remind
me don't go back to this place where which was
very unhealthy and like a looping in my brain that
(33:41):
was sort of stuck. And I'm so glad there's a
pattern that needs to be broken and the loop stopped.
And a lot of that was therapy and different things
that I was doing. My process, not perfection. You've been
continuing your growth, continuing your evolution, which is a lot
of what the podcast is about, which is all of
Amy's network. All of the women on Amy's Network are
(34:05):
showing ways to be healthier, healthier living, more holistic living. Yeah,
Kat and meeting you need Therapy, Lisa has Truthius Life,
Megan Dubayan has her whole podcasts instead. She's a grief
expert and therapist. In fact, I I need to connect
with her. I'm excited to connect with her to some
of her episodes and everything that she has to offer.
(34:29):
I'm excited that you're coming on and Ali Fallon will
be joining with her Write Your Story podcast and then
outweighs on there before we go. I also flipped to
another page in my journal. I think this was an
exercise I had to do. Like it was day two
of something that I was doing. For each day it
had an assignment, and it's so cool to go back
(34:51):
and look at stuff like this, You know, I don't.
I guess the day that I did this was January
second of this year than you do at a manifest
station challenge or some things, yeah, not challenge, but and
something just to see where I was that day. Things
that I was going to choose for myself, I choose abundance, opportunity, connection, work, brilliance, capability,
(35:16):
high hives only when the low vibescrib in happiness, clean
and organized, on time, healthy me. I choose me. I
choose the kids, friendship, love, being good at things, ideas, creativity,
getting ahead, believing in myself, a full house, listening my
(35:36):
side of the street, dinners at the table, game nights,
weekends away, harmony, and to try things because trying is cool.
Those are all the things. It's like, Oh, I love
all of that, And I feel as though because I
set that intention early in the year, I see a
(35:57):
lot of this taking place, not all all of it,
but I still have a lot of the A lot
of it aligns, and I think, what's interesting about this?
And if you know me, I'm going to go right
back to astrology. The sign has just entered aries. Aries
is the sign of I Am. I choose I, the
sign of the individual are the mighty I am. So
going back and looking at this and now being in
(36:19):
the energy of moving forward with momentum, a pioneering spirit,
a courage shout out happy birthday to all the aries
out there. That's the energy of right now, I choose
I Am. You know I'm excited too. And you've worked
a lot on your language. That's let's close with that today.
You've been so mindful. We've been talking about this about
(36:40):
language and the power of language in our words and
the way we say things like give the example of
the dishes w you said I hate and then you
shifted it fast. That's a going I hate is strong.
But this y'all will get it. Y'all will understand. Let's
go in somewhere good and then well, the podcast listeners
know because I've done a whole episode on this, probably
maybe three weeks ago, because I three weeks ago my
(37:02):
mother was dying, so I have not I am not
caught up in your podcast. Well it's fine, I understand,
but it's something I was passionate about. So I wanted
to share it with listeners because maybe they would want
to join me in flipping the vocabulary. Vocabulary to be
positive at all times, even if you know we're not
really saying anything bad. But I just wouldn't get the
(37:24):
negative words out of my brain. So yes, earlier, I
did the dishes because I like waking up to no dishes.
And I looked at me and and I was like, Okay,
I just to the dishes because I hate when the
sink is dirty. And I paused, and I was like, nope,
I love when my sink is clean. I love waking
(37:45):
up to a clean sink. I love when the stays leap.
And I remember, you know, years ago, I mean, the
power of I am has been around for a long time.
I mean, that's you know, the beginning of Genesis. You know,
in the beginning was the word, and the word was
you know, it was made flesh, it I am. But
Joel Ostein wrote a book and it said whatever follows
your whatever follows your I am follows you, I am sad,
(38:10):
I am tired. That follows you rather than saying, I
am looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight, I'm
looking forward to waking up revitalized. Whatever follows your I
am follows to you. One of the examples that we
talked about on that episode. And by way I mean me,
but I'm talking to my listeners. Yes see, very inclusive.
(38:31):
Everybody out there is part of it's part of the
crew of the tribe. Yeah, So it was like, instead
of saying I'm exhausted, you say I need rest. So
I'm really, really, really really working hard. And I know
eventually i won't have to work as hard because I'm
going to have the positive words are going to take over.
(38:51):
Because what I learned in that episode when I was
researching for it, is the brain has a negative bias.
So when you say the negative word, it doesn't know
specifically what you're talking about. It just heard the word can't.
It just heard the word hate. It just heard the
word DoPT or I won't or never, like you know,
(39:12):
whatever these words are that you don't even mean harm,
Like even if someone says to you, like, hey, how's
it going and you say couldn't be better? Well, they
don't even want you to say they. I don't know
who they is. Now you're talking to my people that
I bring in the hey, my crew, that they could
they couldn't. You're even though you're saying something positive like
(39:34):
you couldn't be better than not right, so you could
say you know, doing great, yeah, instead of so that's
the whole thing. Um, all right, blah blah blah blah blah,
Where it could it go? Why did I say earlier? Right? Thought?
Oh I was so yeah. I had so much going
on in my head during one of the meetings today
that I was telling Kat earlier that it felt like
(39:57):
I was just hearing Charlie Brown either they're not Robber,
and I just was like, uh huh okay, but my
brain was not processing anything they were saying. They just
sounded like ram Rock. It gets that way centimes. It
is that way for all of us. And that's when
you know, wait a minute, I need I need to
take a breath. I need to take a beat. I
(40:18):
need rest and I need rest, which I need right now.
So um, we're gonna go. Y'all are awesome if you're
coming to the Live on Saturday. We cannot wait. If
you're coming to the pop up shop in Nashville on
Friday for Haiti, it's a little happy hour that we're
doing at Restore in Brentwood on Franklin Road, if you
can join us from four to seven Pimp and joy
(40:40):
four Things items as Squaw the Shot Forward sent a
ton of stuff and it's going to be fifty percent off,
and so it's like a deal for you. And then
also all the proceeds going to My Life Speaks, which
again some people have been like, well that would if
we're getting a deal in the donations down, Well, yes,
but that's okay because we want every ready to win
and My Life Speaks under they know that too, so
