• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: Thank
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_02: you.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: And what I found out is that it's actually not a piece of cake.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_02: At least it hasn't been for me.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: It has taken me on this journey of wondering, am I the only one that struggles with aging?
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_02: Am I the only one that is sitting and reflecting on my entire life?
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't think I am.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: So one of the things that...
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: you know I've added to my practice is helping particularly women in the stage years of their life so you know I kind of started thinking about all of the different stages of life and each one has to me a lot of purpose like there's a lot of purpose within those stages and And so, you know, I think about like the early years of life while you're a kid.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_02: Your purpose is really to be a kid, to explore the world, to go to school, to learn and enjoy life.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_02: And there's a lot of learning that goes on there.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: There's a lot of development and a lot of changes that happen during that stage.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_02: And then the next stage of life is as we become young adults.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_02: And not everybody, but some people end up getting married.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: They go to post-secondary school.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: They begin their careers.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_02: And they may or may not have children.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_02: But that stage is, again, with a lot of purpose.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: You're beginning a career.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_02: You're discovering who you are in the workplace.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_02: You are in a relationship, perhaps.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: And then parenting, which, by the way, is the hardest job anybody will ever do.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, there's just you're busy and you're doing and there's purpose.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: There's things that you want to accomplish.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: And then there's the next stage of as you become more settled in your career, your kids are growing up.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe they've left the home.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, there's that part where you experience empty nest.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_02: The kids are leaving.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: Hopefully they can spread their wings and you've done a good enough job that your kids spread their wings and become very capable people.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_02: And you may become a grandparent during that time.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_02: I became a grandparent when I was 49 years old.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_02: It's about 50.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I would say that it has, was, and has been the most profound experience in my life.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_02: But it really did have me kind of take a pause and think, oh, my God, like, what is my role here?
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_02: And again, there's a lot of purpose in that role.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's actually a very important role in life.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_02: And then...
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_02: the stage that I find myself in is, you know, I have younger grandchildren, but I also have a 16-year-old grandchild.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, they're busy.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_02: Kids are busy.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_02: Grandchildren are busy.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_02: Now what?
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_02: You know?
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_02: And I got to the point where I was like I'm really not needed anymore oh my god what do I do with my life what is my purpose now and so that's where I'm at is trying to figure out like what is the purpose after you've had a career you've been a parent you are a grandparent possibly but you know everybody's doing their thing they're busy they're living their life which is what they're supposed to be doing but where do i fit in and what do i do so you know the idea of becoming authentic or not becoming authentic but discovering who i am past all of that um and And that I can still have purpose.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_02: I don't want to retire.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_02: Some people do, and that's great.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_02: But I don't want to do that.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: I want to still be able to contribute to the world.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_02: And so how do I do that?
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_02: And that's kind of where I'm at.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_02: How do I show up with who I truly am?
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_02: And what I found out is I have to figure out what that is.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_02: And so I wonder how many other people are out there in this stage of life going, wow, I'm not even sure I know who I am past my roles in life and the things I've already done.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_02: And so the idea of showing up authentically has to start with who am I authentically?
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_02: What do I want to show the world?
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_02: How do I want to be in the world?
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_02: And then past that, who do I want to show my grandchildren I am?
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: And what do I want them to learn through that?
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_02: So I wonder, Joyce, if, like, do you think there's other people that feel that way?
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yes.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_01: I truly do, because we...
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: like you went through all the stages of life and on like when we're raising our...
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: When we have kids or we are raising them or have our children and raising them or we have a career that we're doing and going to work all the time and we're so busy living the life and doing the part that we feel we need to be doing that sometimes I think we...
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_01: Don't really look inside ourselves and find out who we truly are.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: Who do we really want to show up to in the world?
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_01: And then as things start to slow down, your children are, if you have children and they're married and left home and your career, you're getting kind of maybe towards the end of the career.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: You've accumulated lots of vacation time and you have time off and you're kind of like, huh, Who am I?
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: What do I want to do?
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_01: I've always had, it always seems to me, and I've heard some people say, well, I don't know what I'm going to do when my kids leave home because they've been my whole world, my whole life.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: What do I do?
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_01: And you kind of have to go back.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_01: I say you have to go back inside yourself and realize who you truly are.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_01: And what do you want to show up to in this world?
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, I think it is something that it may affect women.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_01: I almost think more than men.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: But I could be wrong on that, too.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'm a woman, so I'm speaking from my own experience.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: But just from hearing other women talk, I think they really do have this challenge in life, especially as they get older.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: And some of them start to feel, well, What purpose do I have in this life now?
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_02: How do I contribute to the world, right?
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_02: And part of what I've been thinking about is a lot of the stages in life we're doing partially what we're supposed to be doing, right?
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: What society says we should be doing.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: So you should be a kid.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: Then you should go to post-secondary school.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_02: Then you should get married.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: Then you should have children.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_02: All of those things.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_02: And, of course, I...
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I did that because I wanted to.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_02: I wanted to be a mom.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_02: I wanted to have a career.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_02: But now it's like, what do I actually want to do?
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_02: You know, pass the shoulds.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_02: And the other part is, as we're aging, we still do have feelings and emotions.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe we've gathered some wisdom.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_02: hopefully we have but at the same time we are still human beings and we still experience emotions and sadnesses and hard things and you know it's like you don't become 65 and now you you maybe don't have some hard days right so how do you show up within those times of expressing just Yeah, it's a really hard day because maybe an elderly person shouldn't have hard days.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: But the truth is, it's a hard stage of life.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_02: I think just like every other stage of life.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_02: It's dipping our toes into the unknown.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_02: And the other part is that our mortality is...
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_02: is much more in our face at this stage of life than any other stage of life.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_02: And so how do I contribute?
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_02: And part of me has this sense of, oh, my God, I've got to get going because there's so many things I haven't done or I haven't said or I haven't shown up and, you know, expressed.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_02: And so there's this anxiety almost of I need to make sure I get everything done before this.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_02: you know, whatever happens.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_02: So it's just been a very interesting journey for me to, like I say, I just didn't think it would be a hard thing to do.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_02: And what I found out it's probably the hardest thing I have ever done is step into the aging process.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: So that's been very surprising to me.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_02: And on some days makes my heart really sad to be truthful.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: And so, you know, that idea of living authentically are those moments of saying, yeah, this is really hard and I'm not quite sure how to do it.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: I find myself, you know, my voice cracks now in my older years.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_02: I fell off my horse three months ago.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: I still ride, which I'm super proud of.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_02: But I fell off my horse three months ago and I'm still recovering now.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: My body didn't bounce the way it did when I was 40 or 50 even.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_02: And so it's things like that that I never imagined would happen.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't know, like I look in the mirror, I still think like my brain works and all of that.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_02: And then my body says, oh, we probably shouldn't do that, you know.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: And so it's that back and forth of figuring out How to show up in the world.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I agree.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: Showing up honestly and truthfully.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_01: Just being a person of integrity is what I say because that is so huge.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: And even as, like you said, whatever stage of life you're in, be that person.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: Be a person of integrity.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: Be honest.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: And don't put the fronts on just because you think that's what other people want to see.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: Truly be yourself.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: I
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_02: think there are places where we do have to act or say what we're supposed to.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_02: There are places in the world where that just is the way it is.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: But for the majority of time, how do we get to a point where we feel comfortable just being and speaking our truth, right?
• 16:02
  UNKNOWN: Yeah.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, right.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_01: And just being ourselves.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: And living in that present moment.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: I know my horse, my one horse has always said, live in the present moment.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: And then the other day he said, the power is in the present moment.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_01: Live in it.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_01: And it is so true because, yeah, the power is in this present moment.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_01: Live in it.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: Enjoy it.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_01: Love it.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: Be yourself.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: And let that light shine that you have inside of you.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_01: And just be who you are.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: Be authentic with it.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: Be honest.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: Be truthful about it.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: And you will be amazed how bright that light can shine whatever stage of life you're in, I feel, when you follow all of that.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_02: Well, we only have the present moment.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_02: We can't go back to the past.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_02: We don't know what's going to happen in the future.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_02: We can't go back or forward.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_02: We have to just enjoy, like you say, the present moment and be as authentically ourselves as we can, given whatever situation we're in.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes it's not safe to speak your truth.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_02: Other times it is, and it's about figuring out what those places are, where those places are.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_02: that it's okay to say, holy Lord, this is hard.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_02: Or, yeah, I'm having, like, this is great.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_02: I feel really good about what I'm doing.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_02: But whatever it is, it's a safe place to do that.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yes.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: And it is beautiful.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, when you can really truly live in that present moment and enjoy it.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: Because like, and I'm not sure who said this, but the present moment, It's a present.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_01: It is a gift, this moment.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: I love that.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: So live in it.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: Enjoy it.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: I love that.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and I've heard that many times, and it just kind of came into my mind that every moment we get, it is a gift.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: It is the present moment, and it's a gift.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: Love it.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: And enjoy it and see the beauty that is around you.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_01: And sometimes I think that is hard for us to see because we're so busy.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_01: And when you just stop and listen and hear the beauty and see the beauty and feel that beauty, it just surrounds you.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_01: And you can enjoy that moment that you're in.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_02: Even if you just take five minutes to do
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: that.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: You know, laying your feet on the earth, feeling what's around you, like truly being in that experience can take a person through the entire day.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_02: You know, if there's a busy day, there's lots going on.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_02: Taking five minutes to the old saying, what smell the roses, but it's true, right?
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_02: Just experiencing where you're at and taking that forward for the day.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it just brings something to my mind because my little dog and I were watering this morning the cattle, and we love to go out by the creek while the water runs in the tanks.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_01: And it was so beautiful out there.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: And I just stood there and just soaked up the sunshine and just listened to the birds and just felt the breeze.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: And it was like, oh, my goodness, I'm all re-energized.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm ready for the day.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly, exactly.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_02: So if anything, I would, you know, hope that when my grandchildren are older, that they have learned that from me.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_02: you know that they can say I remember my grandma making me take a breath and smell the roses and you know feel the air on your face and all of those things I hope that someday my grandchildren may be teaching their grandchildren this is what my grandma taught me and it has made all the difference in the world for me you know so when I think about legacy that's it what's will my grandchildren say to possibly their children about me and what they learned in life that has helped them through hard times in their life?
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, and what a beautiful way to say that because what you are doing is you are creating that legacy for your grandchildren.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_01: And yes, they may hear you say numerous times, Just breathe.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_01: Just breathe.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_01: Just enjoy the moment that you're in.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_01: And they may...
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: They may think at a young age, oh, yeah, Grandma.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_01: But, you know, those are some things that really stick in your heart because I remember so many things that my dad always said to me.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like now they are what carry me through.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: They are what keep me going.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: And I have learned so much.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_01: And at the moment, it may not be so important, but as you get older, you really start to bring back, at least personally, bring back All these words of wisdom is what I call them that have been given to you from your parents, from your grandparents, from family members, from loved ones.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, it is truly a legacy of what you are doing to help your grandchildren to just breathe and enjoy that moment.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I hope so.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_02: I hope it's something that they really hold on tight to and remember to be as authentically themselves as they can possibly be.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: Don't
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_02: let anybody tell you what you should be or what you should do or how you should live your life, but that you get to do your journey the way you want to do your journey.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 22:26
  UNKNOWN: Yes.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, and how important that is, how important that is to live your life, to go inside yourself and find what life that is you want to live rather than what the world is trying to mold you in to be.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 22:43
