  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning. We are actually in the car
• 0:31
  already so, uh, Stacy's driving say hi.
• 0:35
  Hello. Yeah, she's concentrating
• 0:36
  because I it's driving miss Daisy, as she said, because I
• 0:40
  don't like to drive in California.
• 0:42
  I like, I don't know, I have PTSD over driving in California.
• 0:46
  I did it before numerous times and I just don't like it.
• 0:50
  So since she used to live here, it makes it so much easier when
• 0:53
  someone is willing to drive. But we have a very specific
• 0:56
  mission today and we are driving from San Diego to Orange County
• 1:01
  because I'm going to be on a podcast live streaming with
• 1:06
  Jules Wilson. So I'm super excited about that
• 1:09
  and Stacy's obviously great at navigating all out here.
• 1:14
  So thank you for that. Again, in case I haven't said it
• 1:16
  enough. It, it actually was one of the
• 1:17
  first things you, you told me when we were coming, you're
• 1:20
  like, you'll drive, right? She's not lying about that.
• 1:23
  It's like I just, yeah, I got to put it out there right away.
• 1:27
  So we are still in the fact that we are adjusting to.
• 1:31
  Well, I'm adjusting. She's already like adjusted to
• 1:34
  the kids being away. Her daughter's doing great,
• 1:37
  don't you think? Yeah, she.
• 1:39
  Seems happy she's. Commutative.
• 1:42
  She is. I mean they seem like they were
• 1:43
  very busy yesterday. By the time she texted me I was
• 1:46
  already asleep. So I saw it this morning, but it
• 1:48
  was good to wake up to a message.
• 1:50
  Yep, and I could not get in touch with my son for, you know,
• 1:54
  most of the day. He texted very late and then
• 1:57
  informed me that he was starving, that he just, you
• 2:01
  know, he couldn't get enough food in.
• 2:03
  They had, you know, food carts and it was a whole big thing.
• 2:07
  But of course, my obsessive like I should have prepared for this
• 2:11
  they, you know, teenage boy food thing they can sometimes eat a
• 2:15
  lot of food. So while your daughter's all
• 2:19
  prepared with her snacks, she. Listen, Reagan's not going to go
• 2:22
  hungry. She prepares, She prepares ahead
• 2:25
  and she just, I don't know, she doesn't like to be hungry, so
• 2:29
  she just packs snacks. And Lucas just every time you
• 2:32
  say will you want snacks? No, no, no.
• 2:35
  But then he runs into these problems.
• 2:36
  So this is a learning experience for him, but it's also a very
• 2:41
  big learning experience for me to be able to just let him go
• 2:44
  and let him have his experience and figure it out.
• 2:47
  I did, you know, suffer with that overnight thinking about I,
• 2:52
  well, how is he not getting enough food?
• 2:54
  Why is he not letting people know?
• 2:56
  Because that's how my brain works when you get into that
• 2:58
  mode. And my certainty girl sits next
• 3:01
  to anxiety on the bus. They have a party last night.
• 3:04
  They had quite the party talking about it.
• 3:06
  Yes, it was. It was an interesting evening
• 3:09
  for me to try to be able to control that and.
• 3:13
  You're trying to control something that's uncontrollable
• 3:16
  a. 100%, I know it, it's it's next to impossible, yeah.
• 3:20
  But, you know, you, you, both of us are the people that are like,
• 3:26
  jump in and get it fixed, Yeah. Problem solvers.
• 3:29
  Problem solvers to the NTH degree.
• 3:32
  Stacy's coaching clients know that I, my clients know that
• 3:35
  like I will jump in and I will solve, solve problems.
• 3:38
  But one of the the tricky parts of that is always when it's your
• 3:43
  own problem what you think. Yeah, I do.
• 3:48
  I really do. I just, I also feel like letting
• 3:52
  them grow up and solve their own problems is the hardest part as
• 3:56
  a mom. Like we want them, we want to
• 3:58
  raise them to leave the nest successfully, but yet we still
• 4:02
  want to fix their problems. And there's that teeter totter
• 4:05
  of how do you do that to prepare them as well as make sure
• 4:09
  they're OK in the moment. And I think that's the struggle.
• 4:13
  It's a constant struggle. When do you let them solve it?
• 4:15
  When do you let them figure it out?
• 4:17
  And you know, when do you need to jump in?
• 4:20
  So I did jump in a little bit just to make sure.
• 4:23
  I let the, I emailed the camp, I let them know what was going on.
• 4:27
  I got it handled, Yeah, through a, through a, a wonderful friend
• 4:32
  who stepped up and really, like, made sure everyone understood
• 4:35
  what was happening. But the reality is, doesn't stop
• 4:39
  my brain from going, OK, well, you know, I've got to switch the
• 4:43
  drivers and we've got all these other things happening at the
• 4:45
  same time. We're driving up here I call
• 4:49
  home because of course, when you go away, there's always
• 4:52
  something that happens. And they're in a massive heat
• 4:54
  wave. The whole East Coast is in this
• 4:56
  massive heat wave and it's so much so we lost 2 chickens
• 5:01
  because of the heat wave and had to.
• 5:03
  And now I'm thinking about how to solve that problem even
• 5:06
  though I'm not there. And you know, Stacey calls home
• 5:10
  to her house and there's like things happening there and she's
• 5:13
  got that same, the same thing happening.
• 5:17
  So it's, it's like managing your state in those moments does take
• 5:21
  effort and work. And I think, you know, the point
• 5:24
  that I'm trying to make with all this that we are trying to make
• 5:27
  with this today is that no matter who you are and what you
• 5:29
  do and how your life is, you're going to run into things and
• 5:33
  you're going to have to solve them.
• 5:34
  And it's not going to be with those emotions running all over
• 5:37
  the place. You have to bring yourself back
• 5:39
  into that neutral place, get centered and then solve them
• 5:43
  from there. Wouldn't you agree?
• 5:44
  Yeah, like just deep breath moment.
• 5:46
  Take a deep breath and figure out what you can, what you can
• 5:50
  do, and what you have to let go and keep them.
• 5:53
  Surrender to letting somebody else take care of the farm.
• 5:56
  It's not like I know, right? It's not like he doesn't know
• 5:59
  what he's doing. So I just have to let it go.
• 6:03
  So we are off now to finish this ride and go do the podcast and
• 6:09
  we will see you later. Hope you guys have a great day.
• 6:12
  Bye bye.
