Speaker 1: Hello you guys, welcome back to another episode of the
0:15
Speaker 1: Hawkerell Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kaylee, and this is
0:19
Speaker 1: your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
0:21
Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day for you to become
0:24
Speaker 1: the Hawkerel Energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:27
Speaker 1: welcome back to another episode. I'll be fully honest, this
0:30
Speaker 1: episode is definitely going to be up a day late
0:32
Speaker 1: because I did not take into account the current construction
0:37
Speaker 1: that's going on across from my house right now, which
0:40
Speaker 1: is going.
0:40
Speaker 2: To cause a lot of noise issues for the podcast.
0:44
Speaker 1: So I literally was like, there's no way that I'll
0:46
Speaker 1: be able to record this today because there were so
0:48
Speaker 1: much background noise. They're actually drilling, like in the dirt
0:53
Speaker 1: across this field that's across from my house right now,
0:56
Speaker 1: and I'm like, the way this would bother me so much.
0:59
Speaker 2: Recording and also probably hurt your ears on top of that.
1:03
Speaker 1: So I did have to, unfortunately take that into account,
1:06
Speaker 1: and I did not think of that yesterday when thinking
1:10
Speaker 1: of recording. So anyways, I apologize if this episode's up
1:13
Speaker 1: a day late, but better to have an episode up
1:16
Speaker 1: than no episode up at all.
1:18
Speaker 2: As you guys, know, I have been.
1:20
Speaker 1: Really just kind of going through it these this Honestly,
1:24
Speaker 1: this past year, it's just.
1:24
Speaker 2: Been kind of a crazy year.
1:25
Speaker 1: I feel like it's been very busy but also very interesting.
1:30
Speaker 2: That's like the best way to put it.
1:31
Speaker 1: And I kind of wanted to talk about it in
1:33
Speaker 1: today's episode of kind of Navigating Highs and Lows in
1:37
Speaker 1: Life because I feel like this has definitely been like
1:41
Speaker 1: more of a challenging year.
1:42
Speaker 2: I feel like than you know, the past.
1:44
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, before I even started my
1:46
Speaker 1: influencing career, of course I had years where it was
1:48
Speaker 1: like not the greatest, but I feel like I haven't
1:50
Speaker 1: ever really shared too much of my personal life, and
1:53
Speaker 1: I feel like this is the first year I've ever
1:56
Speaker 1: kind of like really opened up about like what's going
1:58
Speaker 1: on in my life, because I feel like I've always
2:01
Speaker 1: been that influencer that just has always wanted to share
2:03
Speaker 1: the highs and the positive things that are happening in
2:06
Speaker 1: my life, which is always great to share.
2:08
Speaker 2: I think it's great inspiration.
2:10
Speaker 1: I think it's really exciting, and like obviously wanting to
2:13
Speaker 1: document those experiences is always fun. I think everybody really
2:16
Speaker 1: just sees their social media as a highlight reel, like
2:19
Speaker 1: it really is, like you want to document moments of excitement.
2:23
Speaker 1: You want to show Okay, I'm going on a fun trip, Okay,
2:26
Speaker 1: I got engaged, Okay, I bought a new house. Like
2:28
Speaker 1: people love to show the highs, but I feel like
2:31
Speaker 1: not enough people share the realness of the lows and
2:35
Speaker 1: like what they're currently going through. And that was something
2:37
Speaker 1: that I feel like I never really showed throughout my
2:40
Speaker 1: influencing journey of posting.
2:41
Speaker 2: My life online for the past five years.
2:44
Speaker 1: And I finally feel like I was open to sharing
2:47
Speaker 1: what's going on in my life, and you know what,
2:49
Speaker 1: it's really made me feel more connected with you guys
2:53
Speaker 1: in the best way possible. I feel like I've always
2:54
Speaker 1: really been open here on the podcast. I think a
2:57
Speaker 1: lot of you guys have known that from the beginning
2:59
Speaker 1: that I've always been very truthful and honest from day
3:02
Speaker 1: one on here. But I feel like through my TikTok,
3:05
Speaker 1: through my Instagram, through my YouTube, I don't really share
3:08
Speaker 1: the lows that I'm currently going through, and I felt
3:10
Speaker 1: like I wanted to share more of that and show
3:13
Speaker 1: some realness of like what's been going on in my life.
3:16
Speaker 1: But I kind of just wanted to talk to you
3:17
Speaker 1: guys about how I'm navigating this because there has been
3:20
Speaker 1: a lot of highs and lows this year. There's a
3:23
Speaker 1: lot of exciting things, but a lot of things that
3:25
Speaker 1: are like happening in my personal life that's obviously causing
3:28
Speaker 1: some stress and anxiety and you know, probably not the
3:31
Speaker 1: greatest for my mental health either. Of like things that
3:33
Speaker 1: are going on with my family. Firstly, I've mentioned it before,
3:37
Speaker 1: but my dad is getting hurt surgery. He's getting triple
3:39
Speaker 1: bypass surgery. He might actually be getting quadruple bypass surgery,
3:43
Speaker 1: which is crazy. So it's definitely just been like hard
3:48
Speaker 1: on my family because it's very scary to know that
3:50
Speaker 1: your dad is at risk of a heart attack and
3:52
Speaker 1: we are basically in the waiting period where he's just
3:55
Speaker 1: basically on hold for a surgery, and if someone becomes
3:59
Speaker 1: a bigger priority, they obviously get the surgery done first,
4:02
Speaker 1: which honestly I totally understand.
4:04
Speaker 2: And because we are in Canada.
4:06
Speaker 1: Our health is covered, so we obviously pay into our
4:11
Speaker 1: health insurance, so we don't get to basically schedule a surgery.
4:15
Speaker 1: It's basically like whenever we can get you in we
4:18
Speaker 1: can get you in. So I think it might be
4:20
Speaker 1: a little different in the States potentially or somewhere else
4:22
Speaker 1: in the world, but in Canada, it basically works that
4:24
Speaker 1: you're on a list and whenever they can get you
4:27
Speaker 1: on the list.
4:28
Speaker 2: Is basically when you can get your surgery done.
4:30
Speaker 1: So to be honest, he was actually supposed to get
4:32
Speaker 1: a surgery today, but it got postponed for another like
4:36
Speaker 1: four to six weeks, which we weren't exactly happy about,
4:39
Speaker 1: just because I think we were all mentally preparing, like
4:42
Speaker 1: I canceled my trip based off my dad's surgery, Like
4:44
Speaker 1: we basically planned our entire plans around like this surgery date,
4:49
Speaker 1: and then they say, yeah, just kidding, it's not happening.
4:51
Speaker 1: So it was kind of like difficult to hear that
4:54
Speaker 1: because I think my dad's also in the position of like, hey,
4:56
Speaker 1: I just want to get this surgery over with. I
4:58
Speaker 1: think he's very much in the mindset of wanting to
5:00
Speaker 1: get the surgery done, move on, know that he's healthy, right,
5:03
Speaker 1: I think anybody would have that mindset of just knowing
5:06
Speaker 1: that they need to get their heart done.
5:08
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was kind of like upsetting news.
5:11
Speaker 1: But all we can do is just pray and hope
5:13
Speaker 1: that he gets his surgery date soon and he can
5:17
Speaker 1: get in, have a great surgery, be healthy after. Like
5:20
Speaker 1: that's all we can pray for at this point. But
5:22
Speaker 1: you know, obviously that's been going on. And then I
5:24
Speaker 1: actually just recently lost my family dog. This was very hard,
5:28
Speaker 1: to be honest, because I picked this dog out myself.
5:32
Speaker 2: We've had her for thirteen years.
5:34
Speaker 1: She was actually from the beginning of Zach and I's relationship.
5:37
Speaker 1: We picked her up, and then she's been with us
5:39
Speaker 1: obviously for the entirety of a relationship and the entirety
5:42
Speaker 1: of my family. But if you have a dog, or
5:44
Speaker 1: if you have a cat, or if you have any
5:46
Speaker 1: kind of pet, I'm sure you realize that the attachment
5:50
Speaker 1: that you build with these animals is quite literally crazy.
5:55
Speaker 2: Like I personally feel like a dog is a family member,
5:58
Speaker 2: like that to me is an immediate family man.
6:00
Speaker 1: You see them when you get home, you see them
6:02
Speaker 1: before you go to bed, you wake up to them
6:04
Speaker 1: when you see them in.
6:05
Speaker 2: The morning, like you see them every freaking day.
6:09
Speaker 1: And I have actually lost another dog before this one,
6:13
Speaker 1: my childhood dog that I got when I was seven.
6:16
Speaker 1: He passed away when I was I think sixteen or
6:20
Speaker 1: eighteen around there, and then Mocha, which is now somewhat
6:24
Speaker 1: of a childhood dog. I got her when I was
6:26
Speaker 1: sixteen and now I'm thirty. So it was very very
6:31
Speaker 1: hard on the family to lose her, Like, oh, I
6:35
Speaker 1: was an emotional reck I'm not gonna lie. I fully
6:37
Speaker 1: had a few breakdowns these past few days of just
6:40
Speaker 1: like knowing that she's gone is really really sad, and
6:44
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like a pet is a
6:46
Speaker 1: family member in my opinion, I think they play such
6:49
Speaker 1: an important role in your life. I think it's okay
6:51
Speaker 1: to feel the grief and to feel a loss when
6:54
Speaker 1: you do lose a pet, because I think they just
6:56
Speaker 1: mean so much to you that it's really really hard
7:00
Speaker 1: to let go and know that like a part of
7:02
Speaker 1: your life that you had with them is now you know,
7:05
Speaker 1: unfortunately gone, but the memories I'll always remember, and I
7:09
Speaker 1: will always remember her as such an amazing dog, and
7:13
Speaker 1: I'll never forget her. So anyways, there's just been so
7:16
Speaker 1: much going on right so it's like there's that going on,
7:19
Speaker 1: and then oh, let's talk about things that are exciting
7:21
Speaker 1: in my life. It's like I'm moving into a new house.
7:23
Speaker 1: I've bought in a new house, Like we're moving in
7:25
Speaker 1: three weeks, you know, like it's all exciting, but then
7:28
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this is also happening, by the way,
7:31
Speaker 1: So it's like it's hard to be excited of like
7:33
Speaker 1: exciting news that is happening, but also be really strong
7:36
Speaker 1: of like understanding what's also happening in the background. And
7:40
Speaker 1: that's I think that's why I want it to be
7:41
Speaker 1: a little bit more open about what's going on, because
7:43
Speaker 1: of course, like, yes, there's highs and there's excitement, but
7:46
Speaker 1: there's also like things that are happening that you know,
7:50
Speaker 1: are reminding myself that you know, we're currently going through something,
7:55
Speaker 1: but it's like we have to navigate this situation by
7:59
Speaker 1: reminding yourself that it's like this is just a season,
8:03
Speaker 1: like this is just temporary, and that unfortunately, like what
8:06
Speaker 1: we're currently going through can be difficult, but it's important
8:08
Speaker 1: to change your mindset and still be positive.
8:11
Speaker 2: Of going into these exciting things while still trying.
8:13
Speaker 1: To you know, be strong and still be excited about
8:16
Speaker 1: those exciting moments. So I kind of just wanted to
8:19
Speaker 1: share things about the highs and lows and also like
8:23
Speaker 1: navigating change because obviously we are moving out literally in
8:28
Speaker 1: three and a half weeks, I think, and then I
8:30
Speaker 1: live with my parents for a week until we officially
8:32
Speaker 1: move into our new.
8:33
Speaker 2: House, and not gonna lie.
8:35
Speaker 1: The anxiety is starting to peak about change because I
8:39
Speaker 1: think everybody's obviously excited about change and excited about, you know,
8:44
Speaker 1: entering a new chapter in their life. But I also
8:47
Speaker 1: think there's like something to lose a little bit and
8:51
Speaker 1: like grieve, Like thinking about leaving this house, it feels
8:54
Speaker 1: really weird, to be honest, because I feel like we've
8:56
Speaker 1: spent the past four years here and have made such
8:58
Speaker 1: incredible memories that it like feels like I'm like leaving
9:02
Speaker 1: that part of my life and knowing that like we
9:05
Speaker 1: don't own this house anymore is just like so weird
9:08
Speaker 1: to me, I don't know, And like going into a
9:10
Speaker 1: new house, it's gonna feel so weird, right It's like
9:12
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna have to build a whole
9:14
Speaker 1: new routine for myself. While that sounds exciting of like, oh,
9:17
Speaker 1: a new routine, like you know, a new space to
9:20
Speaker 1: make a coffee, finding a cute little spot to do reading,
9:23
Speaker 1: and like, you know what I mean, it sounds exciting,
9:25
Speaker 1: but it also kind of sounds scary because it's like, oh,
9:29
Speaker 1: what do you mean, I'm not gonna be able to
9:30
Speaker 1: go outside of my backyard and just sit on the
9:32
Speaker 1: patio and you know, drink my morning coffee and like
9:36
Speaker 1: read my book or get some work done outside because
9:39
Speaker 1: I won't have a backyard in the new house because
9:41
Speaker 1: it's currently under construction and we're in a new development.
9:44
Speaker 1: So it's just not gonna be, you know, part of
9:46
Speaker 1: our life in the beginning. But I don't know, it's
9:49
Speaker 1: just kind of like adjustments, right, Like you're making these
9:52
Speaker 1: adjustments and it's all different. So I'm trying to find
9:56
Speaker 1: ways to like not think too much of that, like
9:59
Speaker 1: not overthink. I just realize that it's like, Okay, we
10:01
Speaker 1: could still create exciting moments in the new house by
10:04
Speaker 1: adapting to different things with your routine. So I just
10:07
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to share some things of like what
10:09
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm currently thinking about and like how
10:11
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like reframe my mindset while going through
10:15
Speaker 1: this like going through the highs and lows, going through change,
10:18
Speaker 1: Like how am I shifting my mindset through this chapter
10:22
Speaker 1: in my life?
10:22
Speaker 2: I think one of them.
10:23
Speaker 1: Is to realize that you can have two emotions at
10:27
Speaker 1: the same time, meaning that like I have learned that
10:30
Speaker 1: I can feel sad while also feeling grateful, And I
10:35
Speaker 1: think this year has really taught me that of just
10:38
Speaker 1: like learning that it's okay to like go through difficult
10:41
Speaker 1: times but also get really excited about excitement times of
10:45
Speaker 1: moving into a new house, starting a new chapter with
10:47
Speaker 1: my husband, Like it's okay to feel sad about my
10:50
Speaker 1: dad and losing my pet, but also feel.
10:53
Speaker 2: So grateful and excited for this new chapter that I'm
10:55
Speaker 2: about to enter with my husband. I feel like sometimes.
10:58
Speaker 1: People might feel guilty of like wanting to experience joy
11:01
Speaker 1: when there's something difficult that's happening in the background. But
11:05
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like refrain my mindset of like yeah,
11:07
Speaker 1: but like you don't want to look back at this
11:09
Speaker 1: experience like ten years from now and be like, oh,
11:11
Speaker 1: like I decided to not be excited about moving into
11:14
Speaker 1: my new house because I decided to let my mental
11:16
Speaker 1: health like affect me and like bring me down and not.
11:19
Speaker 2: Think of the excitement of going into the new house.
11:22
Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to reframe my mindset of like this
11:24
Speaker 1: is a chapter that you're going to remember forever of
11:27
Speaker 1: moving into this new house that you worked so hard towards.
11:30
Speaker 1: You and your husband put so much work and effort
11:33
Speaker 1: towards this home and to even afford this home. Right,
11:37
Speaker 1: So it's like, don't lose that excitement and joy all
11:41
Speaker 1: because like there is things going around in the background, right,
11:44
Speaker 1: Like I can still grieve those things, but I can
11:47
Speaker 1: also still be excited about what's to come. So I
11:50
Speaker 1: think it's important to understand that you can have two
11:52
Speaker 1: emotions at the same time and that allow yourself to
11:55
Speaker 1: feel that sadness when there's a time for it, but
11:58
Speaker 1: also to make sure that you can still be excited
12:01
Speaker 1: about this new chapter ahead. So I'm just trying to
12:04
Speaker 1: like refrain my mindset of understanding that that you can
12:07
Speaker 1: be sad and excited at the same.
12:09
Speaker 2: Time, and that's okay.
12:11
Speaker 1: This is probably the biggest one that I think I've
12:12
Speaker 1: learned this year, specifically because I think for the longest time,
12:16
Speaker 1: I thought holding it together by holding my emotions and
12:19
Speaker 1: not really sharing too much online was considered strong, Whereas
12:24
Speaker 1: I feel like now I see that much differently. I
12:26
Speaker 1: feel like it's important.
12:28
Speaker 2: To cry when you want to cry.
12:29
Speaker 1: It's important to ask for help if you need help,
12:33
Speaker 1: And I think that makes you look stronger than just
12:37
Speaker 1: ignoring those feelings and ignoring it by just like trying
12:40
Speaker 1: to keep it together. I think showing up regardless every day,
12:44
Speaker 1: whether you're giving it one hundred percent or not, is
12:47
Speaker 1: something to be proud of. As I said, I do
12:49
Speaker 1: think putting my life on social media is very difficult
12:54
Speaker 1: to obviously share what's going on in your life all
12:56
Speaker 1: the time, Like there are moments where it's like you
12:58
Speaker 1: don't really want to show yourself on camera right now,
13:00
Speaker 1: like I am going through a hard day, Like I
13:02
Speaker 1: don't want to have to record myself when I'm going
13:04
Speaker 1: through this today.
13:05
Speaker 2: Like that is very normal and that is very okay.
13:07
Speaker 1: But I think as I've gotten older, I've realized how
13:10
Speaker 1: important it is to share the hard parts because that's
13:14
Speaker 1: where the reality is, right, it's not always sunshine and
13:16
Speaker 1: rainbow is like life is about dealing with challenges and
13:20
Speaker 1: finding strength to still show up and realize how grateful
13:22
Speaker 1: life really is. Because it's important to try and see
13:26
Speaker 1: the positives in your life and stay positive throughout the
13:28
Speaker 1: typicult times. And that's why I really love to talk
13:31
Speaker 1: about this type of stuff on the podcast because no
13:34
Speaker 1: matter what I'm currently going through, I always want to
13:37
Speaker 1: try and find ways to still be positive in this situation.
13:40
Speaker 1: One thing that makes me feel so good is going
13:42
Speaker 1: through this whole situation with my dad. I had like
13:46
Speaker 1: literally hundreds of messages I'm not even overexaggerating about a
13:49
Speaker 1: lot of you guys just telling me how either your
13:52
Speaker 1: dad or your grandpa or your grandma went through triple
13:56
Speaker 1: bypass surgery. And you guys were just sharing all these
13:58
Speaker 1: positive stories and how they're doing amazing now.
14:01
Speaker 2: And someone was like, my grandma had, you know, bypass
14:04
Speaker 2: surgery at sixty, she's now ninety six.
14:06
Speaker 1: Like just giving me all these positive stories and like
14:09
Speaker 1: having that positivity just like brought into my mindset made
14:13
Speaker 1: me feel so much better, and it totally shifted my mindset.
14:17
Speaker 2: This surgery is gonna make my dad feel ten times better.
14:19
Speaker 1: He's gonna be ten times healthier, he's gonna come out
14:21
Speaker 1: of this, he's gonna live ten times longer. Like I'm
14:23
Speaker 1: totally reframing my mindset by like hearing these positive stories
14:27
Speaker 1: and hearing these people tell me all these things and
14:29
Speaker 1: success stories. It makes the harder time, feel a little
14:32
Speaker 1: bit less hard by hearing the positive and successful stories.
14:36
Speaker 1: So again, it's really about a mindset of like shifting
14:40
Speaker 1: it and trying to find the positive aspects in it.
14:43
Speaker 1: I know it's really really hard, especially when you're going
14:45
Speaker 1: through tough times. But again, this is why I wanted
14:48
Speaker 1: to talk about this, because I think there's there's ways
14:51
Speaker 1: to really reshift your mindset when you're going through this
14:54
Speaker 1: high and low season in your life that might be
14:57
Speaker 1: difficult to handle.
14:58
Speaker 2: This next one is.
14:59
Speaker 1: Don't let one season define your whole year. This one
15:04
Speaker 1: is so fricking important. And the reason why I want
15:07
Speaker 1: to say that is because I recently had a comment
15:10
Speaker 1: on a video where I was crying because I posted
15:13
Speaker 1: it to show that it's like not everything as sunshine
15:15
Speaker 1: and rainbows here, Like, yeah, I'm kind of going through
15:18
Speaker 1: it right now, but I'm still being strong and you know,
15:20
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to show up here and you know,
15:23
Speaker 1: post on my platform and still share the funny content
15:25
Speaker 1: that I typically share and exciting content, but also, hey,
15:29
Speaker 1: I'm going through some you know, sad times, and like
15:32
Speaker 1: it's okay to feel sad. It's okay to show that
15:34
Speaker 1: you're going through an emotional time in your life right now,
15:37
Speaker 1: and that's okay, right, Like, I really wanted to show
15:39
Speaker 1: that it wasn't about Hey, look i'm crying, give me
15:41
Speaker 1: sympathy because I'm sad. It wasn't about that. It was
15:43
Speaker 1: about to show that it's like, this is the real,
15:46
Speaker 1: honest truth, Like there is excitement in my life, but there's.
15:49
Speaker 2: Also been some hard times.
15:51
Speaker 1: And someone decided to comment, throw that vision board away,
15:55
Speaker 1: it's not worth it for the rest of the year,
15:58
Speaker 1: And that comment really stuck with me because the way
16:00
Speaker 1: I read it was like, no, it's not thrown away,
16:04
Speaker 1: because even if you make one goal happen from your
16:08
Speaker 1: vision goal, if you just achieved one thing from that
16:11
Speaker 1: vision board, you should still be pretty dang proud of yourself.
16:14
Speaker 1: I think there's a positive in every single aspect. And yeah, sure,
16:18
Speaker 1: have I achieved everything off my vision board this year? No?
16:22
Speaker 2: Has there been a few things that.
16:23
Speaker 1: I've achieved, Yes, But then that's what keeps you going,
16:26
Speaker 1: That's what keeps you more motivated, is just being able
16:28
Speaker 1: to achieve that one thing. You're like, Okay, I want
16:30
Speaker 1: to go on to the next, like I want to
16:31
Speaker 1: achieve more things for myself, how can I do it?
16:34
Speaker 2: What are the steps that I need to take in
16:35
Speaker 2: order to achieve that for myself?
16:37
Speaker 1: So it really was like sad to be like, oh, yeah,
16:40
Speaker 1: you threw it out the way, like your year's done.
16:42
Speaker 1: It's like, well, no, I'm not saying twenty twenty six
16:44
Speaker 1: is done. I'm not saying that twenty twenty six is
16:47
Speaker 1: the worst year yet. I am not saying that. I
16:49
Speaker 1: am saying that I'm going through a season and that's it.
16:52
Speaker 1: Who's to say that a month or two from now
16:54
Speaker 1: it's going to be the best year ever. Like, it's
16:57
Speaker 1: not about that. It's just about seeing the highs in
17:01
Speaker 1: that year and being like, hey, I'm really proud of
17:03
Speaker 1: myself for doing these things even though I went through
17:06
Speaker 1: these hard times, Like you can always see excitement and
17:09
Speaker 1: joy and positivities out of everything in your life, because again,
17:14
Speaker 1: life is not supposed to be all sunshine and rainbows,
17:17
Speaker 1: Like life is supposed to throw curveballs at us that
17:19
Speaker 1: it's supposed to, you know, share challenges because we're supposed
17:23
Speaker 1: to find the strength to be able to get through
17:26
Speaker 1: those challenges.
17:26
Speaker 2: We're supposed to.
17:27
Speaker 1: Be strong, We're supposed to find ways on how do
17:29
Speaker 1: we overcome this? How do we learn from this opportunity?
17:33
Speaker 1: How do we get stronger? So I do think things happen,
17:37
Speaker 1: and unfortunately it's things that it's out of our control.
17:40
Speaker 1: But it's like, how can we move past this? How
17:42
Speaker 1: can we still show up for ourselves? How can we
17:45
Speaker 1: still create positivity and excitement going into the months ahead,
17:50
Speaker 1: the days ahead.
17:50
Speaker 2: The weeks ahead.
17:51
Speaker 1: Right, So, I do think there's still ways to be
17:55
Speaker 1: excited about your vision board for the year. I don't
17:57
Speaker 1: think you're throwing out your entire year. I still twenty
18:00
Speaker 1: twenty six is going to be a great year. I'm
18:03
Speaker 1: not saying it's going to be the best year of
18:05
Speaker 1: my life, but I am going to say that I
18:07
Speaker 1: do want to continue having more highs. I don't think
18:10
Speaker 1: my highs are done. I don't think the lows are done.
18:12
Speaker 1: I just want to continue achieving what I can for
18:16
Speaker 1: myself and just again keep looking at my vision board
18:19
Speaker 1: and still finding ways to motivate myself to achieve more things. Again,
18:24
Speaker 1: it's really about the mindset and how you see situations.
18:27
Speaker 1: It's all about turning things into a positive and not
18:30
Speaker 1: always seeing it as a negative. Because if you go
18:33
Speaker 1: into this year, thinking yeah, this year's over, I'm just
18:36
Speaker 1: gonna wait till next year. Well, why do we having
18:38
Speaker 1: that mindset, like we're not just going to assume that, oh,
18:40
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six is done. Let's maybe we'll start again
18:42
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty.
18:43
Speaker 2: Seven, like we'll start over.
18:44
Speaker 1: Then.
18:44
Speaker 2: I hate when people do that, Like, let's not say that.
18:47
Speaker 1: Let's say it's July of twenty twenty six, and we're
18:50
Speaker 1: gonna make August to December our best months.
18:53
Speaker 2: Yet, We're gonna.
18:54
Speaker 1: Shift our mindset and actually focus on what we want
18:56
Speaker 1: to do for the rest of the year and how
18:57
Speaker 1: we're going to achieve those things. Actually men writing things down, journaling,
19:02
Speaker 1: doing the steps that you need to do in order
19:03
Speaker 1: to achieve those things that you had on your vision boar,
19:05
Speaker 1: like almost doing like a reevaluating for yourself of like
19:08
Speaker 1: how can I do better for the rest of the year.
19:10
Speaker 1: What can I do differently to become that person that
19:12
Speaker 1: I want to become for twenty twenty six. So anyways,
19:14
Speaker 1: I just felt like I needed to say that because
19:17
Speaker 1: it really made me sad thinking about this person that
19:20
Speaker 1: decides to just like throw their entire year out the
19:22
Speaker 1: window because of a few things that have happened, But
19:25
Speaker 1: I don't want that to be the way I was
19:27
Speaker 1: positioning my thoughts on twenty twenty six or that video.
19:32
Speaker 1: It was more so to share that It's like, hey,
19:33
Speaker 1: I'm currently going through it, but that doesn't mean it
19:35
Speaker 1: defines what my year is. I know I'm going to
19:37
Speaker 1: keep pushing through it and find ways to still create
19:41
Speaker 1: positivity out of it. So now let's talk about the
19:43
Speaker 1: whole change, because obviously there's a lot of change that's
19:47
Speaker 1: about to happen, and it's exciting, Like I'm very, very excited,
19:51
Speaker 1: but I also think there's a lot of exhaustion that's
19:54
Speaker 1: about to come out of this. Like moving is a
19:57
Speaker 1: lot of freaking work, and obviously there's emotion behind this
20:02
Speaker 1: house here.
20:02
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be really hard to just like
20:04
Speaker 2: leave it. I also have this like emotional thing with
20:07
Speaker 2: Freddie right now.
20:08
Speaker 1: If you guys don't know who Freddie is, Freddy's my
20:10
Speaker 1: dog and he has lived here his whole life. And
20:13
Speaker 1: I think it gives me a little anxiety because, like
20:16
Speaker 1: I see how excited he gets when he comes into
20:18
Speaker 1: the house, Like he has his little routines, you know,
20:21
Speaker 1: he knows where to sit on the couch, like he
20:22
Speaker 1: knows where his food dishes are. He has like little
20:25
Speaker 1: spots when I leave the house that he likes to
20:27
Speaker 1: lay to wait till I get home. So for me,
20:29
Speaker 1: that makes me really sad because I think about the
20:31
Speaker 1: routine for myself, but I also think that bout the
20:33
Speaker 1: routine for him, where it's like he's gonna have to
20:36
Speaker 1: adjust in this new house and he's not gonna know for.
20:39
Speaker 2: Like the first few weeks that it's like, no, this
20:41
Speaker 2: is our new house.
20:42
Speaker 1: Like he's gonna be like, oh, okay, we're just staying
20:45
Speaker 1: here until you know, we get back home, Like he
20:48
Speaker 1: doesn't realize that it's like no, no, no, like we're leaving,
20:51
Speaker 1: like this is no longer your.
20:52
Speaker 2: House, Like I don't know. That makes me sad, Like
20:55
Speaker 2: this is how much love I have for pets.
20:57
Speaker 1: I pretend to put my mind in them and think
20:59
Speaker 1: like how are they going to adapt to this change?
21:03
Speaker 1: And how are they going to adapt to this new reality?
21:05
Speaker 1: And it makes me kind of sad. But I also
21:08
Speaker 1: know that it's like he's eventually going to build a routine.
21:10
Speaker 1: He's eventually going to figure it out. He's eventually going
21:12
Speaker 1: to realize that like, this is our new home, and
21:15
Speaker 1: that it's not about the house.
21:16
Speaker 2: It's about the people that he's with and like me
21:18
Speaker 2: and Zach is his home right. So although it's exciting,
21:22
Speaker 2: it's also emotional.
21:24
Speaker 1: It's also hard to realize that, you know, routines are
21:27
Speaker 1: going to change a little bit, obviously, environments are going
21:30
Speaker 1: to change, new habits are probably going to be created,
21:33
Speaker 1: and it just feels off, But it just means.
21:38
Speaker 2: That we're adjusting, Like we're going to have to adjust
21:41
Speaker 2: to this new life.
21:43
Speaker 1: We're going to have to adjust to this new home
21:45
Speaker 1: and how we're going to you know, create a new
21:48
Speaker 1: routine for ourselves and adapt to this new change. So
21:51
Speaker 1: although it's exciting, it is exhausting and it's demply going
21:55
Speaker 1: to feel different, but I know we're going to adjust
21:57
Speaker 1: to it and things will feel like home. And I've
22:00
Speaker 1: also heard people talk about like lighting candles that bring
22:03
Speaker 1: them a sense of home. So it's like, if there's
22:06
Speaker 1: a candle specifically that I light a lot in this house,
22:08
Speaker 1: like can I do it at the next house where
22:10
Speaker 1: I'm lighting the candle just to kind of bring that
22:13
Speaker 1: smell back into the house, to bring some type of comfort,
22:16
Speaker 1: Like I hear some tips around there where people are like, yeah,
22:19
Speaker 1: like to make the space feel more like home, spray
22:22
Speaker 1: that room spray that you typically do, or light that
22:25
Speaker 1: candle that you typically have, or put out that flower
22:28
Speaker 1: vase that you love so much in the same spot
22:30
Speaker 1: in your kitchen in your new kitchen.
22:32
Speaker 2: Like, I definitely plan.
22:33
Speaker 1: On taking those habits and like adjusting it into the
22:36
Speaker 1: new house again to kind of bring some comfort of
22:40
Speaker 1: that homey feeling of what we have here. So that
22:42
Speaker 1: kind of goes into the next one, which is creating
22:44
Speaker 1: little routines that make life feel familiar. So doing little
22:48
Speaker 1: things that make me feel like what I would do
22:51
Speaker 1: back home. So it's like making my morning coffee in
22:54
Speaker 1: my new morning coffee spot and doing my daily walk,
22:57
Speaker 1: like finding a new walking path for me to do
23:00
Speaker 1: my walks every single day, you know, is it working
23:03
Speaker 1: out every single morning?
23:04
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe I find a spot in my basement to
23:07
Speaker 2: do my.
23:07
Speaker 1: Favorite worker that I typically do from home, you know, journaling,
23:11
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. Like just kind of finding
23:13
Speaker 1: small routines that I can do in the new house
23:16
Speaker 1: that are similar to what I do here and bring
23:20
Speaker 1: some like comfort in the.
23:21
Speaker 2: Space by like doing those things, if that makes sense. Like,
23:24
Speaker 2: I think making coffee is a big one.
23:26
Speaker 1: I think people love that feeling of like making your
23:29
Speaker 1: coffee at home and like it tasting a specific way
23:32
Speaker 1: and like there's some type of comfort I feel like
23:34
Speaker 1: just making a coffee, And so like that's something that
23:37
Speaker 1: I think is like going to be easier to like
23:40
Speaker 1: adjust to in the new house, because like I'm kind
23:43
Speaker 1: of bringing the same routine just in a different space,
23:45
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So anyways, that's today's episode. I
23:48
Speaker 1: kind of really wanted to just kind of talk about
23:51
Speaker 1: what I'm currently going through and how if you're going
23:54
Speaker 1: through this type of season in your life where you're
23:56
Speaker 1: having a difficult time or you're going through you know,
24:00
Speaker 1: highs in your life and you don't know how to
24:02
Speaker 1: adapt with you know, maybe going through something difficult at
24:05
Speaker 1: the same time, know that you're not alone and that
24:08
Speaker 1: it's okay to have these wins and be excited about
24:12
Speaker 1: these you know, huge changes that are happening in your life.
24:15
Speaker 1: But it's also okay to feel that sadness that you're
24:18
Speaker 1: feeling through Uh, you know, there's difficult challenge that you
24:20
Speaker 1: might be going through, and that it's important to just
24:23
Speaker 1: keep moving forward and you know, celebrate the good, honor
24:27
Speaker 1: the hard, like everything's just gonna work out.
24:30
Speaker 2: It's hard to really shift your mindset.
24:32
Speaker 1: I totally feel you, like I am definitely you know,
24:35
Speaker 1: have had hard times of changing my mindset of trying
24:38
Speaker 1: to continue to stay positive. But it's one step at
24:42
Speaker 1: a time and it really really does go a long
24:45
Speaker 1: way if you really just shift your mindset of trying
24:48
Speaker 1: to find the positives in every situation. And I do
24:52
Speaker 1: find journaling helps a lot. I think that's really been
24:54
Speaker 1: a big one for me, is just taking out the journal,
24:56
Speaker 1: writing things down, writing how I'm feeling in that current moment,
25:00
Speaker 1: and really just like reminding myself how grateful I am
25:04
Speaker 1: for this life. I think faith has also been a
25:06
Speaker 1: huge thing of just like praying more and like leaning
25:09
Speaker 1: into my faith a little bit has been a huge
25:12
Speaker 1: thing that I've changed this year as well. So anyways,
25:15
Speaker 1: I just wanted to tell you guys that you're not alone,
25:18
Speaker 1: and if you're going through it, I feel you. This
25:21
Speaker 1: episode is really just to help you navigate through that
25:23
Speaker 1: difficult season and know that this doesn't define your year.
25:27
Speaker 2: You could still have a good year.
25:28
Speaker 1: You can still find ways to enjoy the highs and
25:31
Speaker 1: find ways to still achieve everything that you want to
25:34
Speaker 1: achieve a the year and just not let that reflect
25:37
Speaker 1: your entire year. So anyways, I just wanted to end
25:40
Speaker 1: off with that, but I'd love you guys all so much.
