- 0:00Erin Gray: Today on the podcast, I actually want to share a little bit about what is going on with me, let you see kind of behind the scenes.
- 0:08Erin Gray: I know I teach a lot on the podcast, but today I really want you to take what I'm talking about in terms of embodiment and apply it to your life.
- 0:20Erin Gray: So let's dive in.
- 0:22Erin Gray: I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but I will be in Maui next week.
- 0:26Erin Gray: And I wanted to share some things that have been kind of coming in for me and recognizing what is going on in my body.
- 0:34Erin Gray: And I want you like to take what I am saying and see like how does this apply to you?
- 0:40Erin Gray: You know, one of the things that I could do is I could push myself, I could batch record.
- 0:44Erin Gray: And typically I do batch record two to three episodes a week to, you know, for the for the next week, but that doesn't feel in my body right now, that doesn't feel good to me, authentic to me, with an integrity and alignment.
- 1:00Erin Gray: Like when I ask my body, do I want to batch record before I go?
- 1:05Erin Gray: I get a no.
- 1:06Erin Gray: And one of my values is practicing what I preach and and going first, doing this work for first.
- 1:14Erin Gray: And for me, growth is not pushing and doing more and working while I'm gone and batch recording.
- 1:23Erin Gray: Like that is all the stuff that I call Aaron 1.0 used to do.
- 1:27Erin Gray: I used to bring my laptop on vacation.
- 1:30Erin Gray: I would work and we would do, I would do payroll, and there would be all of these things that I would still be doing or pushing myself leading up to some type of time off.
- 1:40Erin Gray: And when I asked myself and I asked the body, like, is this actually what you want to do?
- 1:44Erin Gray: I got to know.
- 1:45Erin Gray: And I think some of our biggest work and work that I do with clients is really tuning in and listening to your body and trusting that what the body is telling you is far more intuitive and going to get you where you want to go than what the mind wants to do.
- 2:03Erin Gray: And I know and I have been sensing for the last couple of weeks that there are big things that are going to be coming down the pipe while I'm in Maui.
- 2:10Erin Gray: Obviously, reflections after when I come back home.
- 2:14Erin Gray: And even leading up to it, it feels like an energy shift.
- 2:18Erin Gray: And I want to honor that and I want to be fully present for that.
- 2:21Erin Gray: And me batch recording and getting things out just because someone has said along the way that this is what you're supposed to do and you're supposed to be consistent with your podcast, which I do feel like that I am consistent with my podcast.
- 2:34Erin Gray: And I also think that I'm very real.
- 2:37Erin Gray: And I want you to also not that you need my permission, but I also want to, I guess, give you permission, but also you give yourself permission to follow your knowing and your intuition.
- 2:50Erin Gray: Now, part of the reason why I called this podcast Your Money, Your Rules, because it is about not just your money doing your money your way, but it's about doing life your way on your own terms, following your intuition, returning back home to yourself, honoring your knowing, listening to your body, having your body be your compass and your guide.
- 3:09Erin Gray: And that means running your business the way that feels good and intuitively, you know, correct for you.
- 3:16Erin Gray: And that might look different than business advice that you have received in the past, or maybe what maybe what your business bestie is doing.
- 3:25Erin Gray: And so for me, it is important, like one of the values that I have is to go first, is to embody and to teach from embodiment, not in theory.
- 3:34Erin Gray: Like, hey, I'm always a big one or proponent.
- 3:37Erin Gray: Like, I will not coach you on anything I have not gone through myself because I can't teach it from an experiential place.
- 3:44Erin Gray: You know, it's one thing to teach in theory, it's another to be like, hey, I've been where you've been.
- 3:48Erin Gray: Obviously, your journey might be different than mine, but like I have walked your path and I know what that feels like and how it feels in the body and things of that sort.
- 3:57Erin Gray: And so honoring that and listening, you know, and and teaching from that place or coaching and mentoring from that place feels true and authentic to me.
- 4:06Erin Gray: And and being a product of my product is something that is very important to me.
- 4:12Erin Gray: So when I have been sitting with this and I asked the body on numerous occasions, you know, do you want to do that?
- 4:19Erin Gray: Do you want to batch record?
- 4:20Erin Gray: I gotta know.
- 4:21Erin Gray: And the mind wanted to be like, yeah, but you know, you're supposed to be consistent.
- 4:25Erin Gray: And like I heard the mind chatter, but then I went back to the body and I was like, Yeah, but body, yes or no?
- 4:31Erin Gray: And it was a simple just no.
- 4:33Erin Gray: And I think what is being asked of me right now is to slow down even more, to not push, to be in alignment with what I teach, to honor my body to my knowing.
- 4:45Erin Gray: Like this feels like next level for me.
- 4:48Erin Gray: And so I want you to think about where is your body asking something of you and you are going against what your body is asking?
- 4:56Erin Gray: Where are you asking your intuition something and you're going against your intuition?
- 5:01Erin Gray: And how can you connect even more to your intuition and follow it?
- 5:06Erin Gray: So I'm gonna be gone next week.
- 5:07Erin Gray: There will be no episodes.
- 5:09Erin Gray: I have several well-watching trips scheduled, lots of probably walking on the beach, contemplation.
- 5:15Erin Gray: Maybe I'll get in some surfing.
- 5:17Erin Gray: I like to surf um with someone just because I have such profound respect for the ocean.
- 5:25Erin Gray: And on the one hand, it's nice to go surfing by yourself because it's just you and the ocean.
- 5:29Erin Gray: And also it feels good because I'm I'm not going with my family or anyone.
- 5:33Erin Gray: So I'm literally there like by myself.
- 5:35Erin Gray: It feels good to go with someone to be, yeah, just with someone.
- 5:38Erin Gray: Like it feels like when I say responsible, what I mean is just like it, it just feels like the the true thing to do.
- 5:44Erin Gray: I might get some e-foiling in.
- 5:46Erin Gray: I don't know.
- 5:47Erin Gray: I have definitely just left it open, a wide schedule, and just really be able to tap into my body and to flow and to really see like what comes up for me that week.
- 5:58Erin Gray: Allow a lot of receptivity, downloads, kind of just wake up and let's just see like where the day takes me, besides, you know, a couple of well-watching trips and things of that sort.
- 6:08Erin Gray: But I've left my schedule completely open and just allowing what is meant to come to me.
- 6:13Erin Gray: So while I am away, I invite you to reflect.
- 6:17Erin Gray: Where are you forcing things in your life when your body is actually asking for more flow and ease?
- 6:23Erin Gray: And where could you follow your knowing and intuition more instead of pushing against it or resistance?
- 6:30Erin Gray: So I'll be back that first week of February.
- 6:33Erin Gray: I'm sure I will have all of the downloads.
- 6:36Erin Gray: I I always get so many profound ahas and thoughts that I, you know, that occur to me as I am traveling.
- 6:44Erin Gray: It's like I love travel for so many reasons, new environments.
- 6:48Erin Gray: It really increases my capacity to have like my body just loves to travel.
- 6:53Erin Gray: It is actually rejuvenating for me in like life force giving.
- 6:57Erin Gray: And so I'm sure I'll come back with all the episodes, all the aha's and things of that sort.
- 7:03Erin Gray: And while I'm gone, spend some time thinking about where am I, you know, like for you, ask yourself, where am I forcing?
- 7:10Erin Gray: Where am I pushing?
- 7:11Erin Gray: Where am I running my business from a place of what someone told me I should do then versus what my body is actually telling me?
- 7:19Erin Gray: So I love you.
- 7:21Erin Gray: I will see you that first week of February.
