Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know, for most things you're going to do in
- 0:03Speaker 1: this life, the hardest thing to do is to start.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Think about anything that you cared about, especially the things
- 0:14Speaker 1: you cared the most about getting started with. They were
- 0:18Speaker 1: the hardest step that you would have to take in
- 0:20Speaker 1: your life. And I think that's going to continue to
- 0:24Speaker 1: be the case, even though we've gone through our first
- 0:27Speaker 1: starts and recognize and realize and experience that we got
- 0:32Speaker 1: through it. You know, the first day driving on by yourself,
- 0:37Speaker 1: the first day at your new job or in your
- 0:39Speaker 1: new role, it always seems like, wow, how do I
- 0:43Speaker 1: get started? And it does feel like a scary, narrow
- 0:47Speaker 1: passage only to learn there so many ways to navigate
- 0:51Speaker 1: your new space. There's so many things to learn, and
- 0:53Speaker 1: there's so much excitement that's within that passageway. And I
- 0:58Speaker 1: just encourage you to embrace your start and go into it.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Just go.
- 1:03Speaker 1: I think we spend so much time at that start
- 1:06Speaker 1: line not knowing how we're going to finish. Right, We're
- 1:08Speaker 1: focused already on the finish and we haven't even started.
- 1:13Speaker 2: And I get it. You gotta have goals.
- 1:15Speaker 1: You got to be thinking ahead, you got to be,
- 1:17Speaker 1: you know, having the contingency plans for all the things
- 1:19Speaker 1: that are going to happen on the journey, but sometimes
- 1:22Speaker 1: you just got to go right. And even after you've
- 1:25Speaker 1: done some of those you know, internal and external research
- 1:31Speaker 1: items to make sure that you have what you need
- 1:34Speaker 1: to go forward, some of us still stay in pause.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Some of you still stay paused. And I'm gonna encourage
- 1:42Speaker 1: you today to just start. That's my best advice. Just start. Hello,
- 2:03Speaker 1: my friends from all across the globe, and welcome to
- 2:06Speaker 1: your Enriched Self Podcast. I am your host, my Lee Noir.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach, and all
- 2:15Speaker 1: that means in this world is that I want you
- 2:18Speaker 1: to have a space, a safe space, each and every
- 2:21Speaker 1: week so that you can become more of your enriched self.
- 2:25Speaker 1: So here on this podcast, for the last four.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Years, what we've been doing.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Is curating a space to talk about self care and
- 2:33Speaker 1: soul care and all the ways that you get started
- 2:37Speaker 1: in life. And it all starts with how you think
- 2:40Speaker 1: about what you're getting ready to do. And so your
- 2:44Speaker 1: thoughts are important first steps on your journey to creating,
- 2:48Speaker 1: to be coming, to innovating. And that's what this podcast
- 2:52Speaker 1: is all about, is to help you step into becoming
- 2:55Speaker 1: the best version of yourself. And so if you're listening
- 2:57Speaker 1: to this episode, if you're listening to this podcast, you're
- 3:00Speaker 1: in the right space. And if you're new here, you
- 3:03Speaker 1: were brought here on purpose for a purpose. I truly
- 3:06Speaker 1: believe that if you are a repeat listener, that means
- 3:10Speaker 1: you've been here for a while. I don't know if
- 3:12Speaker 1: it's ten episodes, one episode, or from the very beginning
- 3:15Speaker 1: over two hundred episodes. You have stood by my side.
- 3:20Speaker 1: You have stood on this platform. You have participated, you
- 3:24Speaker 1: have shared, you have liked, you have commented, You have
- 3:27Speaker 1: left the review and that is appreciated. And if you
- 3:30Speaker 1: haven't left the review, go ahead and leave one. I
- 3:33Speaker 1: want to hear from you. I want to know what
- 3:35Speaker 1: resonates with you, and of course what you want to
- 3:37Speaker 1: hear about. But I'm excited today for this episode because
- 3:41Speaker 1: this episode represents four years of being consistent at podcasting,
- 3:48Speaker 1: and so I want to thank you for being here
- 3:51Speaker 1: all throughout this time, all the seasons, all the journeys
- 3:55Speaker 1: that we've gone through on this podcast, as well as
- 3:58Speaker 1: the journeys that you have gone through on your own.
- 4:02Speaker 1: You still made it back. And I am grateful for that,
- 4:05Speaker 1: and so as I do each and every week, one
- 4:08Speaker 1: of the things that I do to set up the
- 4:11Speaker 1: podcast and set you up is to make sure I
- 4:15Speaker 1: make a deposit into the bank of you, and I
- 4:19Speaker 1: do that by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great
- 4:24Speaker 1: day to start your day and to command your mourning.
- 4:32Speaker 1: And this week's affirmation is I am confident, capable and
- 4:40Speaker 1: ready to embrace the opportunities.
- 4:44Speaker 2: This week's brings.
- 4:47Speaker 1: I am confident, capable, and ready to embrace the opportunity.
- 4:52Speaker 1: This week brings I am confident, capable, and ready to embrace.
- 5:00Speaker 1: It's the opportunity this week brings. Now, let's get ready
- 5:08Speaker 1: for this week's episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast.
- 5:18Speaker 1: When I started this journey of podcasting, and I may
- 5:21Speaker 1: have said this and mentioned this before one or two times,
- 5:26Speaker 1: I was absolutely petrified. I knew that it was my purpose,
- 5:32Speaker 1: I knew that this was my platform. I just didn't
- 5:35Speaker 1: know how it would go. I didn't know if I
- 5:37Speaker 1: could stick to it. And that made me nervous. That
- 5:41Speaker 1: made me have paused, that almost prevented me from starting.
- 5:47Speaker 1: And so, just like I said at the top of
- 5:50Speaker 1: the podcast, get started, I'm grateful to still be here,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and I am still grateful that I am here. This
- 6:00Speaker 1: marks four years of podcasting. As I mentioned when I
- 6:05Speaker 1: started on this journey, if you know me, you know
- 6:07Speaker 1: I'm gonna do some research. And one of the things
- 6:10Speaker 1: that I had learned is that the average podcasts last
- 6:16Speaker 1: ten episodes, and that's if you're lucky. That means that
- 6:21Speaker 1: a lot of people get started, but not a lot
- 6:23Speaker 1: of people stay in it. The longevity of this as
- 6:27Speaker 1: many podcasts as you see, there's so many that go
- 6:30Speaker 1: and get buried because they just never continue on that journey.
- 6:34Speaker 1: And quite honestly, when I started, there were several people
- 6:37Speaker 1: I knew personally and through other groups that I had
- 6:41Speaker 1: belonged to that started podcasting, and for various reasons, they
- 6:46Speaker 1: don't podcast anymore. Now a lot of them escape the
- 6:50Speaker 1: ten year or ten episode podcast curse, if you will.
- 6:55Speaker 1: But nonetheless, it's a journey that I've continued, and I
- 6:59Speaker 1: am proud of that journey. I don't know what journey
- 7:02Speaker 1: you're on, but I'm gonna encourage you to celebrate your journey,
- 7:06Speaker 1: your milestones. This is a milestone four years of podcasting.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I'm not just going to practice or have you practice
- 7:16Speaker 1: what I preach? But I'm going to practice what I preach.
- 7:19Speaker 1: And today is a day of celebration. So I am
- 7:22Speaker 1: celebrating this week's episode as the four year milestone of
- 7:29Speaker 1: the Your Enriched Self podcast, And we're still talking about enrichment.
- 7:35Speaker 1: I don't think that's a topic that needs to go
- 7:38Speaker 1: away or should go away. I think and I know
- 7:42Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, that enrichment of self, of others,
- 7:46Speaker 1: of your community, of this world is so necessary. Look
- 7:50Speaker 1: around at the culture that you're in, the culture and
- 7:54Speaker 1: the cultural things, the things that have happened in culture,
- 7:57Speaker 1: and recognize that enrichment is such an important part of
- 8:01Speaker 1: helping us innovate and helping us create not just ideas
- 8:07Speaker 1: and new ways of living, but create safe spaces to
- 8:12Speaker 1: be more of who we need to be so that
- 8:15Speaker 1: we can serve the people we were brought here to serve.
- 8:19Speaker 1: And so this week's episode is again four incredible years
- 8:24Speaker 1: of podcasting, and I just wanted to start off by
- 8:26Speaker 1: saying thank you. I'm still here and I'm still grateful.
- 8:31Speaker 1: And this is a special gratitude episode this week. I
- 8:37Speaker 1: want to share my most valuable lessons, the things I've
- 8:40Speaker 1: learned behind the mic the things that help me to
- 8:44Speaker 1: stay in this space of speaking life even when no
- 8:49Speaker 1: one was listening. And I'm going to talk about those lessons.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I'm excited to jump into those. But this week's episode
- 8:55Speaker 1: is all about reflecting on the things that are important
- 8:59Speaker 1: to me and the things that have resonated with me
- 9:01Speaker 1: on this journey. A lot of these things are not
- 9:05Speaker 1: going to be things that are new to you or
- 9:07Speaker 1: things that I haven't spoke before. But one thing I
- 9:11Speaker 1: learned about a good teacher is that they stay consistent
- 9:13Speaker 1: with the message. And so if you haven't heard me
- 9:16Speaker 1: say this before, or if you have heard me say
- 9:18Speaker 1: this before, you're hearing me say it again. But one
- 9:21Speaker 1: of the key lessons I learned that I want to
- 9:23Speaker 1: start with is to get started. Here's the thing, guys,
- 9:27Speaker 1: no moment is perfect, and no perfect moment is coming.
- 9:34Speaker 1: A lot of people wait for everything to be lined
- 9:37Speaker 1: up and buttoned up before they get started. I say
- 9:41Speaker 1: get started, and I say just start and make today
- 9:46Speaker 1: your day one instead of having a one day approach
- 9:50Speaker 1: to life. That's how your journey needs to begin with.
- 9:56Speaker 1: That first start, that new start, that attitude of just
- 10:02Speaker 1: start with what you have where you are, and I
- 10:06Speaker 1: promise you that is enough. It was enough for me
- 10:09Speaker 1: and it certainly will be enough for you. The second
- 10:14Speaker 1: lesson that I've embraced that I've come to love, and
- 10:18Speaker 1: I've shared so many times. I wish I was eligible
- 10:24Speaker 1: for benefits every time I shared this message, and I
- 10:29Speaker 1: will continue to share this message. It was a precious
- 10:33Speaker 1: message that I received from an amazing coach by the
- 10:38Speaker 1: name of Patrese Washington. And that message is an audience
- 10:46Speaker 1: of one is still an audience. And as I mentioned,
- 10:53Speaker 1: a great teacher knows how to create a message of consistency,
- 10:58Speaker 1: and that helps the learners. That helps the people to
- 11:02Speaker 1: explore and have a better understanding for what is being taught,
- 11:06Speaker 1: what is being brought forward. And that is something that
- 11:09Speaker 1: Patrice talked about over and over and over again. She
- 11:15Speaker 1: was a coach to me and a coach too many.
- 11:18Speaker 1: And if you talk to her students, if you talk
- 11:20Speaker 1: to anybody who's been through her coaching program, you will
- 11:24Speaker 1: hear them say and hear them repeat what she has
- 11:29Speaker 1: said that an audience of one is still an audience.
- 11:33Speaker 1: An audience of one still counts. Now, if I went
- 11:37Speaker 1: into this with the attitude of entitlement, the attitude of expectation.
- 11:43Speaker 1: And I'm not to say or not saying that you
- 11:46Speaker 1: shouldn't have expectation to grow your audience, But if that
- 11:51Speaker 1: was my mission, if that was the only reason why
- 11:54Speaker 1: I did this, I would be chasing numbers and not
- 11:58Speaker 1: being concerned about the content and the messaging that I
- 12:01Speaker 1: want to convey. I know this message is gonna get
- 12:04Speaker 1: out because I am confident that what I'm saying resonates
- 12:08Speaker 1: and is important. Like I said, enriching your life is
- 12:12Speaker 1: something that works in any culture, in any situation, and
- 12:16Speaker 1: especially in this current climate that we live in. And
- 12:20Speaker 1: so even when you feel like no one is listening,
- 12:23Speaker 1: even when I felt like no one is listening, and
- 12:26Speaker 1: you might be in a position right now where you
- 12:27Speaker 1: feel like you're not being listened too, I remind myself
- 12:33Speaker 1: that my impact is not being measured in numbers. It's
- 12:37Speaker 1: being measured in connection. And I've had people leave reviews,
- 12:41Speaker 1: I've had people send me text messages or leave me
- 12:44Speaker 1: a DM to let me know how an episode resonated
- 12:50Speaker 1: with them, how it impacted them, how it helped to
- 12:52Speaker 1: elevate them. Those messages are precious and great gifts that
- 12:58Speaker 1: I could. I always say feedback is a gift, and
- 13:01Speaker 1: it's free to give, and those were free gifts. And
- 13:04Speaker 1: I think each and each and every one of you
- 13:07Speaker 1: who participated in messaging me in that way, in any
- 13:11Speaker 1: way at all, to let me know how the connection
- 13:14Speaker 1: was made to you, to your heart, to your soul,
- 13:16Speaker 1: to your spirit. I am grateful for that.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Number three.
- 13:22Speaker 1: And this is something that so many of you still
- 13:25Speaker 1: struggle with.
- 13:26Speaker 2: I talk to.
- 13:26Speaker 1: People all the time who are, quite honestly, a bit
- 13:31Speaker 1: fearful of getting started. And one of the reasons why
- 13:35Speaker 1: there are there's a lot of fear in that is
- 13:39Speaker 1: that they are focused on perfection and not progress. They
- 13:46Speaker 1: want everything to be perfect. You probably want everything to
- 13:50Speaker 1: be perfect before you get started. And recently I had
- 13:53Speaker 1: a conversation with someone who wants to do something in
- 13:59Speaker 1: social media. Quite honestly, this person is gifted their voice,
- 14:04Speaker 1: their tone, their content, their delivery. They have the gift
- 14:08Speaker 1: what they have in terms of content management, or you
- 14:12Speaker 1: can call it influencer or whatever you wanna call it.
- 14:15Speaker 2: They pretty much have the.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Package, but they're unsure of who they're gonna be talking
- 14:22Speaker 1: to and how they're gonna be talking to them. And really,
- 14:25Speaker 1: what I explain to them and what I'll explain to you,
- 14:28Speaker 1: is that this whole thing is an experiment. Social media
- 14:32Speaker 1: is literally a social experiment. You don't know what's gonna work,
- 14:37Speaker 1: you don't know who's gonna listen until you say what
- 14:39Speaker 1: you need to say. And so that said, if you
- 14:43Speaker 1: wait for knowing all the things before you get started,
- 14:47Speaker 1: the perfection of that moment, the perfected audience, the perfected messaging,
- 14:53Speaker 1: everything that's gonna work, and you just go out and
- 14:55Speaker 1: do everything that you know is gonna work, there's no
- 14:59Speaker 1: work in that. And so I wanna remind you that
- 15:03Speaker 1: perfection is the killer of progress. So don't wait for
- 15:07Speaker 1: a perfect day, cause it won't come. Waiting for things
- 15:11Speaker 1: to be flawless would be the day that never comes. Honestly,
- 15:19Speaker 1: it keeps you frozen. That's what waiting for flawless days
- 15:23Speaker 1: will do, is they will keep you frozen. And what
- 15:26Speaker 1: I've chose, what I've chosen over these last four years.
- 15:32Speaker 1: And trust me, there were some tough days ahead where
- 15:35Speaker 1: I had to let a podcast episode go even though
- 15:39Speaker 1: it wasn't my best I you know, I think often
- 15:41Speaker 1: about those early episodes that I would struggle through, not
- 15:47Speaker 1: because I didn't wanna do it. I just didn't know
- 15:49Speaker 1: how to do things more efficiently, more effectively. And I've
- 15:53Speaker 1: learned that, but I didn't learn it overnight. It took
- 15:55Speaker 1: me months and now years in some aspects of doing
- 15:59Speaker 1: this work, because I do all of the things right.
- 16:03Speaker 2: I create the content.
- 16:05Speaker 1: I you know, of course, record it so I'm the talent,
- 16:09Speaker 1: and then I edit, so there I do the whole.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Thing, and then I produce it.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I have it uploaded, so I am responsible for the
- 16:15Speaker 1: entire production of the podcast, so to speak. So there
- 16:19Speaker 1: are parts of that I could have the dialogue part.
- 16:23Speaker 1: I sometimes knew what content. Sometimes I struggle with the
- 16:26Speaker 1: content right. But there is just so many elements to
- 16:31Speaker 1: doing the thing that it didn't come easy. And it
- 16:36Speaker 1: might sound like it did, it may not sound like
- 16:38Speaker 1: it did, but that's okay. An audience of one, it's
- 16:40Speaker 1: still an audience. But ultimately, I just want you to
- 16:43Speaker 1: know that I want you to, like I did, choose
- 16:49Speaker 1: the momentum over the mastery, because over time, if you're
- 16:55Speaker 1: dedicated and you're consistent, you're going to become a mess.
- 17:00Speaker 1: You're gonna become masterful at what you do, and that's
- 17:05Speaker 1: all that matters. But it starts with getting started and
- 17:09Speaker 1: building that momentum.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Again.
- 17:12Speaker 1: I could go back to some of my early episodes
- 17:13Speaker 1: and I would cringe at those episodes. How I sounded
- 17:17Speaker 1: so scripted. I've come a long way from that. And
- 17:21Speaker 1: although I have pauses and ums and ahs and all
- 17:25Speaker 1: the things in between, I've learned to embrace that nobody's perfect.
- 17:29Speaker 1: And you know, I remember, I'm not confess something. At
- 17:32Speaker 1: the beginning of all this, I would go through and
- 17:36Speaker 1: edit out all the ums and ahs as many as
- 17:38Speaker 1: I could, and I realized that.
- 17:40Speaker 2: That's not natural.
- 17:42Speaker 1: I wanted the podcast to feel organic and really feel
- 17:46Speaker 1: like we were having conversation like I would with a
- 17:49Speaker 1: friend at a coffee shop or as I was running,
- 17:51Speaker 1: you know, And I've talked a lot about my run
- 17:54Speaker 1: pals and the work that I do on the pavement
- 17:57Speaker 1: and how they appreciate the things that I said. And
- 18:00Speaker 1: that's what I wanted it to be about, not this
- 18:03Speaker 1: scripted space, but where you again can come to a
- 18:06Speaker 1: place that you feel comfortable, that you feel heard and seen.
- 18:11Speaker 1: And that's what this was all about. Speaking of which,
- 18:15Speaker 1: one of the biggest things on this journey I learned
- 18:18Speaker 1: was the importance of showing up for self. Listen, I
- 18:23Speaker 1: talk about empowerment and wellness a lot.
- 18:29Speaker 2: I still talk about it. I started talking.
- 18:31Speaker 1: About it, and I will continue to talk about it.
- 18:35Speaker 1: But you cannot pour from an empty cup. I think
- 18:37Speaker 1: we've all heard that you cannot pour from an empty cup.
- 18:44Speaker 1: And I realized that I had to remind myself of
- 18:48Speaker 1: that often, and I started doing things. I used to
- 18:54Speaker 1: call it stealing twenty minutes away of my time, or
- 18:59Speaker 1: stealing twenty minutes to walk, stealing twenty minutes to do something.
- 19:03Speaker 1: And I started saying at the beginning, I don't say
- 19:05Speaker 1: it anymore, stealing twenty minutes because oftentimes, when you're a
- 19:10Speaker 1: giver and when you are pouring, you don't see room
- 19:14Speaker 1: for your own pouring and your own receiving. So at
- 19:18Speaker 1: some point on my journey, I was stealing twenty minutes
- 19:22Speaker 1: out of the day to go do something that filled
- 19:25Speaker 1: me up.
- 19:26Speaker 2: I don't steal anymore.
- 19:27Speaker 1: I've earned the right to take my one hour lunch
- 19:31Speaker 1: or my fifteen minute break. I've earned that because I
- 19:34Speaker 1: know when I go in and I go to do
- 19:36Speaker 1: the work, I'm gonna go in one hundred percent. But
- 19:39Speaker 1: I need to recharge and I'm not going to be
- 19:41Speaker 1: my best. You're not gonna be your best if you
- 19:44Speaker 1: don't have the best to give. And me having the
- 19:48Speaker 1: best to give means every morning I go work out.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Every morning, I go work out, So that means I'm
- 19:54Speaker 1: getting to work a little bit later, but I'm getting
- 19:57Speaker 1: that workout in. And what that means is I can
- 19:59Speaker 1: produce better, I can show up better, and it works
- 20:04Speaker 1: for everybody. My work will impact just that thing that
- 20:08Speaker 1: I'm doing for myself, and so showing up for yourself
- 20:11Speaker 1: first is critical. I've learned that message, I've loved that message.
- 20:16Speaker 1: I've embraced that message, and I encourage you to do
- 20:18Speaker 1: the same. This one is a big, big, big one,
- 20:25Speaker 1: and it's something I work on continuously. I encourage you
- 20:29Speaker 1: and I want you to work on continuously. And that
- 20:32Speaker 1: is the language. Change your language, change your life. We
- 20:37Speaker 1: create the worlds.
- 20:39Speaker 2: We live in.
- 20:40Speaker 1: Think about some of the things that you are experiencing
- 20:43Speaker 1: right now. At some point, you spoke it into existence.
- 20:46Speaker 2: And I know that.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Sounds airy, fairy. I know it sounds like it doesn't
- 20:50Speaker 1: come from this world. But I promise you the words
- 20:53Speaker 1: you speak matter, and I want you to start thinking
- 20:56Speaker 1: about that, especially the ones you speak to yourself. It
- 21:01Speaker 1: is amazing to me how we have a strong reaction
- 21:07Speaker 1: to how people speak to us.
- 21:09Speaker 2: We want them to give us respect, We want them to.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Keep the tone regulated, you know, we don't need them
- 21:15Speaker 1: to put all the heat on top of what it
- 21:18Speaker 1: is they're saying to us, especially about us, but in general.
- 21:23Speaker 1: So we'll have all these guardrails and all these you know,
- 21:27Speaker 1: expectations about how people approach us and how they talk
- 21:30Speaker 1: to us. But then we'll talk to ourselves like trash.
- 21:34Speaker 1: We'll have conversations that you wouldn't tell your best friend,
- 21:38Speaker 1: and you, in fact, should be your best friend. Why
- 21:42Speaker 1: would you say that about yourself? Why would you say
- 21:45Speaker 1: that about the direction you're going? Why would you say
- 21:47Speaker 1: that about your life? Yes, you made a mistake, but
- 21:50Speaker 1: you are not the mistake. So why are you persecuting yourself?
- 21:54Speaker 2: Why are you.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Bringing guilt and shame and condemnation over a moment or
- 21:59Speaker 1: a where you made an honest mistake or maybe not
- 22:02Speaker 1: so honest, Right, you had a point of weakness, no
- 22:05Speaker 1: matter what the situation is, the way you speak about
- 22:08Speaker 1: your life, yes, people are gonna say things about you
- 22:12Speaker 1: along the way, but what matters most is what you say.
- 22:16Speaker 1: And so I say, change your language, change your life.
- 22:22Speaker 1: If you don't like what you're seeing, let me say
- 22:25Speaker 1: it this way. If you don't like what you're seeing
- 22:27Speaker 1: in your life today, I want you to check in
- 22:31Speaker 1: with what you're saying. I want you to write out
- 22:34Speaker 1: and I've had this on episodes. I want you to
- 22:37Speaker 1: write out what you're saying. I want you to hear
- 22:40Speaker 1: yourself when you're talking. And I know that's all that
- 22:44Speaker 1: kind of doesn't sound like it can be done, but
- 22:46Speaker 1: I want you to listen to what you're saying when
- 22:49Speaker 1: you're speaking, because that matters. And finally, I'm gonna say this.
- 22:58Speaker 1: We have a lot of things we play into. As
- 23:01Speaker 1: I mentioned, you can't pour from an empty cup, but
- 23:04Speaker 1: you might be pouring into your family, pouring into your job,
- 23:07Speaker 1: pouring into your friends and all the circles you belong to.
- 23:11Speaker 1: That's your outputs. I'm gonna tell you today to protect
- 23:15Speaker 1: your inputs. There's a lot of things that you're plugging
- 23:17Speaker 1: into yourself. You are that out You become the outlet
- 23:23Speaker 1: where things are plugged into you to charge you. My
- 23:27Speaker 1: question is what are you allowing to charge you. What
- 23:32Speaker 1: you are watching, what you are listening to, and what
- 23:35Speaker 1: you are consuming is shaping what you believe, and it
- 23:40Speaker 1: ultimately may be shaping how you speak about your life
- 23:44Speaker 1: based on again what you're watching, what you're listening to,
- 23:48Speaker 1: and what you're consuming. And that's not just like in
- 23:52Speaker 1: the physical, that's the spiritual. That's also the things we
- 23:58Speaker 1: are actually physically eating and consuming in our bodies. If
- 24:02Speaker 1: you take in junk, you're gonna see and experience a
- 24:05Speaker 1: junk lifestyle. Right, You're gonna feel terrible, You're gonna feel
- 24:09Speaker 1: weighted down, You're not gonna have the energy you need.
- 24:12Speaker 1: So again, it's all of the things, and so that
- 24:18Speaker 1: now shapes what you believe and ultimately who you become.
- 24:26Speaker 2: And we talk.
- 24:26Speaker 1: About it on the podcast, but I know if you're listening,
- 24:29Speaker 1: you want to become more of your enriched self and
- 24:34Speaker 1: those activities of inputs you want to make sure it's
- 24:39Speaker 1: enriching you so that you can become that version of
- 24:43Speaker 1: you that you know is who you are. The goal
- 24:49Speaker 1: here is just to be intentional, be intentional about all
- 24:53Speaker 1: of these what I call lessons. Lessons I've embraced I've
- 24:56Speaker 1: stumbled along the way on some of these, but I've
- 24:59Speaker 1: embraced I've kept them close. I've reminded myself of the
- 25:03Speaker 1: journey I'm on, not just for the podcast, but for life,

- 25:09Speaker 1: ever gonna be involved in. These things, these thoughts of
