- 0:01Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken

- 0:07a mastermindset, coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
- 0:10be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
- 0:12come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
- 0:16distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
- 0:20some joy. Into the.
- 0:21World. So welcome to the coop and let's
- 0:23start your day off in a fantastic way.
- 0:27Hey everybody, good morning. Yes, this is from California.
- 0:33It is very, very early. I'm in my hotel room, so I'm
- 0:36talking low, so apologize for the low voice, but trying to be
- 0:40quiet while everyone else is sleeping still because we had a
- 0:43really long day of travel and we're completely exhausted.
- 0:47I think we actually went to bed at 7:30 last night, so we were
- 0:52very, very tired. In any event, here safe and I
- 0:58had an amazing time. Got to see the Midway this the
- 1:03USS Midway yesterday and spent hours out there walking around,
- 1:09you know, delving into history. Everybody had such a great time.
- 1:12And immediately, of course, we had to eat tacos because that
- 1:15was very important. And today we are off to do a
- 1:20little adventure. I believe we're going to the
- 1:23wild animal park, but I think things can change.
- 1:26But that's what it was when we went to bed.
- 1:28So the lesson of all of this is, you know, I rarely take these
- 1:34long, long trips. And I'm watching how my son, we
- 1:39used, we do a lot of short trips, but I'm watching how my
- 1:42son is relaxing in a different way.
- 1:44I'm watching how he's getting so excited about going to the camp.
- 1:48And I'm just sitting there and saying to myself, these are the
- 1:52things that we have to always remind ourselves about.
- 1:54Like doing something different is important.
- 1:57Changing how you do stuff is important.
- 2:01Now, am I concerned that I got the message last night that my
- 2:04dog is not eating? You know, she's with her dad,
- 2:09she's with my husband. She's going to be fine.
- 2:12He coerced her with some chicken breast later on that he made
- 2:15her, which I love that he made that for her.
- 2:17But she's going to be a pill while I'm gone.
- 2:19And I already knew that. Of course Beaufort is fine, He
- 2:22eats anything. But it's for me, watching how
- 2:27this is unfolding and reminding me to do different things and
- 2:31release and let go and not obsess on things is so important
- 2:36because I can do that. I do obsess on certain things
- 2:39and the quality of things and how things are done.
- 2:42And that creates such an issue for other people.
- 2:46And it's important to remember to just chill out.
- 2:48And when I'm out of it, because I'm so hyper visual and when I'm
- 2:52doing other things, I can then sit down and just kind of
- 2:56decompress and relax. So yesterday I didn't get a
- 2:59chance to shoot one in the morning because we left so
- 3:02early. I didn't get to record the
- 3:03podcast. And when we got here, it was
- 3:05like, you know, we were just go, go, go.
- 3:07We didn't have the hotel until later.
- 3:11So it was there was no time. And I would normally be like, I
- 3:14have to do what I have to do it. And I was just like, Nope, make
- 3:16up for it. So we're here and we're good and
- 3:19I'm letting go and decompressing and watching my son decompress
- 3:24really, really great and just, you know, have a good time.
- 3:28Be easy about it. Allowing myself to have small,
- 3:32tiny little wins really important along the way.
- 3:36Looking at him, taking tons of pictures, watching him smile.
- 3:40And you know, one of the things I forgot to mention was a
- 3:43byproduct of this. I will be out here meeting with
- 3:48other clients. I will be out here.
- 3:50I have an opportunity that I'm going to take up at the
- 3:53beginning of the week when the kids are gone to go speak with
- 3:59old client who is very well known out here and we are going
- 4:03to do a live streaming of that event.
- 4:06So that's going to be really fun.
- 4:09I'm going to do some training with the company that she's
- 4:11with. So this has turned into quite
- 4:14the business trip as well as dropping him off and dropping
- 4:19them off. And you know, this is part of
- 4:22the fun thing of this is, you know, engaging the unexpected.
- 4:27So I wanted to remind everybody today, engage the unexpected,
- 4:31have a good time, put it out there and be different.
- 4:34And just remember, be easy on yourself because things shift
- 4:37and play and that's what this is all about right now.
- 4:41So I hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you
- 4:43tomorrow. And I hopefully will be doing
- 4:46this when we are all together so that I can have Stacey do it
- 4:51with me. All right, I hope you guys have
- 4:54a wonderful day and I will see you all tomorrow.
- 4:56Bye.
