• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning. So as promised, I have my guest,
• 0:33
  Stacy. Hi, Stacy.
• 0:35
  Hey everybody. So we are sitting in our hotel
• 0:38
  room and we have successfully dropped the kids off at camp.
• 0:42
  I don't know that I was as successful as you were though.
• 0:45
  Well, I've just dropped Reagan off and left her more than you
• 0:48
  have, so I'm more seasoned at the goodbye and see you later
• 0:53
  and. But right at the gate.
• 0:55
  So here's what Here's what happened that was unexpected for
• 0:58
  me. Well, they have their luggage.
• 1:01
  We park. You know, we were took pictures.
• 1:04
  Yeah, we took pictures. They had photographers coming
• 1:06
  out to take pictures. And we walked up and we had two
• 1:10
  different last names. So we were in two different
• 1:12
  sections to get our little wristbands on them and whatnot.
• 1:16
  And all of a sudden they put the wristband on him and they're
• 1:18
  like. They checked in and then they
• 1:20
  asked, do you want to take a picture together?
• 1:22
  We said sure. And then they said, and now
• 1:24
  you'll go to Step 2. And I was like, OK, so we start
• 1:28
  walking towards the gate and they're like, I'm sorry, only
• 1:31
  campers beyond this point. And it was literally at a gate
• 1:35
  and it was like, oh, so then. It was a pretty gate.
• 1:38
  It was beautiful. It was beautiful, but it.
• 1:41
  Was like no, there was like security at the gate.
• 1:45
  No Mamas. Allowed, no Mamas allowed.
• 1:48
  And it was a for me, they did it right at the table.
• 1:51
  The girl was like putting the little wristband on him and
• 1:54
  she's like, OK, so we have everything you need and he has
• 1:56
  to swap his shirt out. And then it's say goodbye.
• 2:00
  And I was like, say goodbye now is don't we need to like get him
• 2:05
  set up in his room and Oh no, no, no, we've got that all
• 2:09
  covered. We've got, you know, everybody
• 2:11
  inside helping. And there was this like pit in
• 2:14
  my stomach about watching him walk away, 'cause I hadn't done
• 2:18
  that before that way. And I mean, you're seasoned.
• 2:22
  You sent her on a How long was the?
• 2:24
  Last summer she did a 12 day cruise on the on a catamaran
• 2:30
  through the Caribbean with no cell phone and she only got one
• 2:34
  call for 12 days. I don't know how you did it.
• 2:37
  I still don't know how you did it.
• 2:38
  I like the I would have gone crazy.
• 2:40
  I was waiting for the text to come every second I.
• 2:44
  Started remarkably well. I think part of it was because
• 2:48
  she was so excited about it and it was something that she really
• 2:52
  wanted to do, so I was excited for her to have that experience.
• 2:57
  This goodbye was just a little different because we really
• 3:01
  don't know a whole lot of what to expect.
• 3:03
  So it was a little bit more like we knew it's going to, we know
• 3:05
  it's going to be great, but it wasn't like she knew the plan
• 3:09
  and where they were going and what we were doing.
• 3:11
  So it was a little more of the unknown.
• 3:13
  It was a lot of the unknown and I mean, and again, they're at a
• 3:17
  Tony Robbins leadership camp. For those to catch those of you
• 3:20
  up who haven't listened to the previous episode.
• 3:22
  So for for kids and I've worked in that environment for 17
• 3:27
  years, so I know what you expect is the unexpected.
• 3:31
  Like there isn't a syntax, there isn't a schedule that they will
• 3:35
  give to the public. They have one, but they don't
• 3:37
  give it to the people in the room because they don't want you
• 3:40
  to anticipate and get nervous or whatever.
• 3:43
  So I was like trying to figure out in my head, OK, what's next
• 3:47
  and what's next? And then I realized, oh, I've
• 3:49
  got to just stop. I need to manage my state
• 3:51
  because I was all over the place and my certainty girl was having
• 3:54
  a meltdown. So then once he was behind the
• 3:56
  wall and this volunteer, because there are volunteers everywhere,
• 4:00
  and she came up and she's like, how you doing?
• 4:01
  And she just looked at me and I cried and she gave me a hug.
• 4:05
  She asked if it was OK to give me a hug.
• 4:07
  And I was like yes. And I was just grabbing.
• 4:09
  But because it was a very full circle moment for me to know
• 4:12
  that I did this. And now here my my dear friends
• 4:16
  child is in there because of me and my son is in there because
• 4:20
  of me. And I'm like, oh, I hope I
• 4:22
  didn't. I didn't want to do that.
• 4:24
  I just wanted to make sure it was right.
• 4:26
  And, and it was just one of those moments.
• 4:29
  And so, OK, everything went well.
• 4:31
  We heard from them, you know, that they were they're happy.
• 4:35
  They are exhausted. Like last night, they were
• 4:38
  pretty exhausted, but they were very happy.
• 4:40
  And they have many more days of this to go.
• 4:43
  And and today we've had very little communication.
• 4:46
  Yeah. So I've had like not a text
• 4:49
  since 5:30 this morning and you've had a couple, but.
• 4:53
  Yeah, sporadic. Right.
• 4:55
  But there's no like, you know, details coming our way.
• 4:59
  So in any event, we are working very hard to manage our state's
• 5:04
  through this process. And I can say this is one of
• 5:07
  those great little Petri dishes that we talked about where
• 5:10
  managing your state is not a choice you make at 6:00 AM and
• 5:13
  then go and make it all the way till you go to bed at 9:00 PM.
• 5:18
  It's for me right now. It's moment to moment, like
• 5:20
  super excited that Stacey and I have projects to work on and
• 5:24
  managing it. She's much better at managing it
• 5:26
  than I am, so I'm like hanging on by a shoestring and getting
• 5:30
  through it. So that's all we have to report
• 5:33
  today. So just know you're not alone in
• 5:35
  having to figure out how to manage your state.
• 5:37
  And do you have any advice for people on that subject managing
• 5:41
  your state? I think just focusing on
• 5:44
  something that makes the time go by faster is really helpful.
• 5:46
  Like we've planned out our whole week and we know what we're
• 5:49
  going to do and that was really great.
• 5:50
  And we work today and I think just keeping busy helps.
• 5:54
  You can't with that constant worry and focused on what it is
• 5:57
  that you really want. As well as I want to tell them
• 6:01
  about all the cool things that we did while they were having
• 6:03
  their experience. So I think making our own
• 6:05
  memories is important too. Totally.
• 6:08
  All right my friends, we will see you tomorrow with another
• 6:10
  update. I hope you have a blessed day
• 6:12
  and I'll see you then. Bye.
