  It's not like we should be waiting to feel joy or waiting to
• 0:03
  get back to ourselves
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_01: or waiting to figure this out.
• 0:06
  We need to figure out how to be joyful and grounded and
• 0:11
  regulated and feeling like
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_01: our best selves despite what's happening out in the world.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to the Joy Jolt.
• 0:18
  Your escape from the heaviness of the world and a place you
• 0:21
  come to reconnect.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_02: Laugh and feel good again.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_02: Woo!
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_02: All right, well, welcome to podcast number one of the Joy Jolt.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_02: Joy Jolt.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_01: We're here, there's your Joy Jolt.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 0:36
  So some of you may have been following our previous iteration
• 0:43
  of our podcast,
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: which was That Explains a Lot.
• 0:46
  And we started that together because we knew we wanted to offer
• 0:50
  something to the
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_01: world and to women in particular.
• 0:53
  And so we just jumped in,
• 0:56
  you know,
• 0:57
  bit off more than we could chew,
• 0:58
  chewed like hell.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:01
  found our way through and what's come out the other side of
• 1:05
  that through all the
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: feedback and people that we've been talking to is the joy job.
• 1:11
  Yeah.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: But we're living in a very heavy world.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if anybody else has noticed.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_02: Anybody?
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_02: Anybody out there?
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_02: Anybody know?
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_02: Is this thing on?
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_02: Do we know?
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_02: But I don't know about you,
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: but like I look at my life and my life is really good,
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_02: but the truth is the world around it is really heavy and
• 1:30
  And for a minute,
• 1:32
  Natalie and I were like,
• 1:33
  how do we contribute to this conversation?
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_02: And I'll be very transparent.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_02: Both of us were like, oh, man, talking about joy feels frivolous.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_02: But then after being in this dynamic in this conversation,
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: we realized it's the most important conversation that we have.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_02: as human beings and especially as women need to be having right now.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_02: And so the joy was born.
• 1:59
  Because what we've also realized is that the world is not
• 2:04
  calming down anytime soon.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:07
  And so it's not like we should be waiting to feel joy or
• 2:11
  waiting to get back to
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: ourselves or waiting to figure this out.
• 2:14
  We need to figure out how to be joyful and grounded and
• 2:18
  regulated and feeling like
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_01: our best selves despite what's happening out in the world.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: We need to figure out.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm going to amen.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_02: That's really what I want.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_02: And it's interesting because I think as a mother,
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm looking at my children who are facing this world and I'm like,
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: whoa,
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_02: it's overwhelming what they're walking into.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_02: But one of the things I know you've believed,
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_02: Natalie,
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: and I've believed,
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_02: as transformational leaders and as coaches that really
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_02: Your life is not dependent on the external experience.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_02: Your life is not the external experience.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_02: Your life is the privilege of the internal experience.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: And at the core of that internal experience is your life force.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_02: And your life force is your joy.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's that piece of you that is yours.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: And we,
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: being able to be connected to that and to expand that,
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: that's our own responsibility.
• 3:25
  you know it's our own choice and this is what we um are really
• 3:29
  stepping into and I
• 3:30
  think part of the process of getting through to the the joy
• 3:33
  jolt and and everything
• 3:35
  that we're starting to create which we're going to share with
• 3:37
  you in a moment but
• 3:38
  it was like well who are we serving like what how can we make a
• 3:43
  difference like
• 3:43
  what are the challenges that in this world how do we make a
• 3:47
  difference yeah
• 3:49
  How do we do that?
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:53
  And the thing is what we've realized and what the feedback
• 3:56
  we've got that a lot of
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: women are yearning for is connection.
• 4:01
  It is like we're entrepreneurs,
• 4:04
  we're mothers,
• 4:05
  we take on all of these roles and
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't know whether, I mean, I think it was the pandemic.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: It really did change the way that we connected with other human beings.
• 4:16
  And so even though we may be surrounded by a lot of people and
• 4:19
  there's a lot of,
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: busyness going on,
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: we feel lonely.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: we feel like we don't have,
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: girlfriends that we can drop into really deep conversation with,
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_01: or at least,
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_01: quality conversation,
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: rather than just talking about the surface stuff.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like how do we,
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: I think that a lot of women have been asking for,
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_01: we want a space where we can actually,
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: talk to each other,
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: talk about what matters.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: you know, what's important.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_02: And leave uplifted.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_02: And that's one of the pieces that for Natalie and I,
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_02: and to be just completely transparent,
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_02: it's this simple that when you come to the joy jolt,
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_02: you're going to maybe come in depleted,
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_02: but you're going to leave uplifted.
• 5:06
  And one of the things that I love the most about my friendship
• 5:09
  with Natalie and our
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_02: dynamic is that no matter how the conversation happens,
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_02: where we're coming from,
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_02: I love that I feel,
• 5:19
  just uplifted and I feel lighter and I feel more connected to
• 5:23
  my joy and more
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: committed to my happiness.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: Nobody's responsible for my happiness.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_02: Nobody can create my happiness.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_02: Nobody's responsible for my joy.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_02: Nat's not responsible, but you know what I love is Nat's an advocate.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 5:38
  I appreciate that she's an advocate and somebody who desires
• 5:42
  for that space to be
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: created.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: And that's really what this was born out of.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_02: So welcome to the joy jolt.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_02: If you're feeling heavy, come to the joy jolt.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_02: If you're feeling tired, come to the joy jolt.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_02: If you're feeling disconnected, come to the joy jolt.
• 5:56
  And this really is a space that's committed to uplifting you
• 6:01
  back to yourself.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_01: And this is part of the reason why we're here on Substack,
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: because it is a platform where,
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: there is inspiration.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_01: There's thought leaders.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: There's no ads.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_01: There's no animosity.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: It just seems to be a really nice,
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: calming place for us to be able to put up positive information,
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: to invite women into the conversation,
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_01: and to create something that I feel is...
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: Even if it's just like you're having a really crappy day and then you go,
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: oh,
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: that's why the podcast is going live today.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, or I've got, you know, that live video is happening.
• 6:43
  It's a little escape from that reality and coming into this
• 6:48
  reality because the
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: more that we can do that,
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: we start to condition ourselves differently.
• 6:53
  And we start to condition ourselves to happiness and connection
• 6:56
  and friendship and
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: girlfriends and sisterhood.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_01: This is what we're creating here.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_01: So,
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: because,
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: I know that for you,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_01: Susan,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_01: that you shared how you've been feeling lonely.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: And like we're surrounded by people, but there's just this...
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_02: and not that I'm going into it,
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: but you mentioned the pandemic and the pandemic,
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: it wildly shifted the dynamic and structure of my family dynamic,
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: not my nuclear family with my husband and my children,
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_02: but my relationship with my brothers,
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_02: my relationship with my father.
• 7:35
  that still has not found its new equilibrium and so i do think
• 7:40
  that there's it's
• 7:41
  not just what's happening in the greater world it's what's
• 7:45
  happened within your
• 7:46
  family structure the world is and has been um wow i know a lot
• 7:53
  heavier and so um i
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: have found that that
• 7:57
  having conversations with people who are not focused on being
• 8:03
  uplifters is,
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_02: man,
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_02: is a drain for me.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like, it's almost more acceptable.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_02: And this is not about blowing smoke and what,
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_02: it's not about farting rainbows and sunshine.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: It could be about farting rainbows.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_02: There might be a moment.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_02: Pull my finger.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_02: but this is a place where it's like,
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_02: yeah,
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: this is the reality,
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_02: but there's a bigger reality.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_02: And that bigger reality is your joy.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: That bigger reality is your happiness.
• 8:37
  That bigger reality is knowing that the connection to yourself
• 8:41
  will then help you
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_02: deepen the connection with others in your life.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_02: And this is going to be a fun community.
• 8:48
  I'm excited about being a part of this and being an advocate
• 8:52
  for joy in a world
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: that doesn't feel particularly joyful right now.
• 8:58
  And here's the thing,
• 9:00
  when it comes to like disconnection,
• 9:03
  you can't think your way.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: through disconnection it has to be an experience it has to be um you know
• 9:13
  conversation it has to be a space where you can kind of feel
• 9:17
  like you can be
• 9:17
  yourself like when is the last time that you've really had a
• 9:23
  big old belly laugh
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_01: with girlfriends and
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: It's been, it's been a while.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: And Susan and I were talking about this just yesterday,
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: before the pandemic,
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: oh my God,
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: I was a member of so many clubs like ATL,
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: TLC,
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_01: EBC,
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: conferences.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: And there was, you know, it was like, there was plenty of people around.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: I had many friends.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember when I met Bert, I'm like, you better buckle in mate.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: Cause I got a lot of friends.
• 9:54
  And then I realized as the years kind of went on that I don't
• 9:58
  socialize as much as I used to.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I don't connect with women as much as I used to.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_01: I have a core group that we try to,
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: but even those women,
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_01: and when we started this,
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: I said to Susan,
• 10:11
  I love the fact that us working together is my excuse to have
• 10:16
  to talk to you every
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_01: day.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_02: We need to make an excuse so that we can talk to each other every day.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's true.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: It's true.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: And what you're saying with the pandemic and what has happened,
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: I think we as women and as a society,
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_02: before the pandemic,
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_02: we were really busy.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: We were busy, busy, busy, busy, busy.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_02: And then all of a sudden the pandemic happened,
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_02: things shifted,
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_02: and now the world has gotten a little bit...
• 10:40
  a little bit strange,
• 10:41
  a little bit heavy,
• 10:42
  a little bit chaotic,
• 10:43
  a little bit unpredictable.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_02: And let's be honest, I don't want to travel like I used to.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_02: Don't make me go to an airport.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it's not nearly as fun as it used to be pre-pandemic, right?
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's like, so even travel is different.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_02: And so I think you're right.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_02: We went from being really busy
• 11:02
  to having this experience and this now feeling that's a residue
• 11:07
  of being disconnected.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that in that disconnection,
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: we're not connected to ourselves,
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: which really is where we're,
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_02: how do I get back to that joy?
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_02: How do I get back to the center?
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_02: I need a jolt.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_02: I need a jolt and we're here to give it to you.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: And it's how do we do it in a healthy way?
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: Because, you know,
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: I'll be honest.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_02: Wait, not a shot of tequila at the end of the day?
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that's medicinal.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, no, but here's the thing.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: You're not saying no, but it's not really the healthiest way.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: But I would numb out.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: Oh,
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: my God,
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: during the pandemic,
• 11:47
  I got into the habit of there was this like cheese dip that I
• 11:51
  really liked from the
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: grocery store.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: So I get that.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_01: And,
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: you start drinking at four in the afternoon because,
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: what else you got to do?
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: And then next, you know, a bottle a night of wine.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: I put on a lot of weight during the during the pandemic.
• 12:06
  And it was because I was feeling well,
• 12:08
  I was trying to avoid feeling lonely.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: I was trying to avoid that.
• 12:12
  So what we want to do is give you a healthy way to be able to
• 12:20
  overcome the
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: overwhelm,
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: to be able to create great friendships,
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: to be able to have conversations that,
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: that will lift you up and make you feel good,
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: to help you laugh and get back to yourself again.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_02: I do know what you're saying.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_02: And I think- Are you picking up what I'm putting down?
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_02: I'm picking up what you're putting down.
• 12:44
  And we're putting into the world exactly what we think the
• 12:47
  world needs more of.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_02: And it's not the external-
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: joy that we're talking about, what we see with that kind, it's here.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_02: It's the internal joy where you leave a conversation uplifted.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_02: We need more of that in our life.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm excited about this community.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_02: I'm excited about this partnership.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_02: I'm excited about this podcast.
• 13:09
  I'm excited about what it is that we're committing to inspire
• 13:14
  and advocate for the world.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: I think the world needs more joy.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_02: And it took me a hot minute
• 13:21
  to to give myself permission to give into this because the
• 13:28
  world more now than ever
• 13:29
  is so heavy it is heavy like it's so i am it's heavy but that
• 13:35

  SPEAKER_02: I know I'm going to say this a million and one times,
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_02: but if you're listening to this,
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_02: joy,
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: joy really in itself simply is just open yourself.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: Just open yourself, right?
• 13:54
  When I'm feeling like this and I'm feeling frustrated and I'm
• 13:57
  feeling angry and I'm
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_02: feeling scared or whatever,
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_02: I am contracting in.
• 14:02
  And so the practice of joy,
• 14:04
  giving myself joy,
• 14:06
  is taking that expansive deep breath in.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just opening myself.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_02: I'm opening myself.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: feeling good.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_02: I'm opening myself to kind of shake off the fear for a minute.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just opening myself.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: And I posted a note the other day of Dr. Laura Berman.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: I listened to her talk the other day and she said,
• 14:30
  one person with a positive vibration can positively influence
• 14:35
  70,000 people.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_02: Look at what we're doing.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: You're doing it, right?
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_02: And so what she's saying is that you listening to this,
• 14:43
  if there's somebody in your life that could use a little bit of
• 14:46
  a joy jolt,
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_02: be somebody who sends this information forward.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_02: So let's join this community.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_02: Let's be a part of all of us being a joy jolt for someone else.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: Because you can't make someone have more joy,
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_02: but you can share a jolt that might spark that joy inside of them,
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: right?
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: So how do we be the joy jolt for ourselves and for others?
• 15:09
  So one of the ways is subscribing to our free content and just
• 15:15
  keeping an eye on
• 15:16
  these podcasts and sharing these podcasts with people in your
• 15:20
  life who need a
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_02: little bit more joy.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: And what I also love about this is this isn't a one-way street.

  SPEAKER_01: We're going to be doing live broadcasts here within Substack because,
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 16:03
  we didn't want to do this on like a social media platform where
• 16:07
  you have to get
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: through the craziness to get to us.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_01: Like, no, no, no, that is, we're taking that out of the equation.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: Live broadcasts,
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_01: community chats,
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_01: like this is what we'll be doing within the paid subscription.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_01: So now we get to communicate.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_01: Now we get to have a conversation.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: Now we get to dance with each other.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: We get to join y'all.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: Join y'all.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: And then we have our community.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: Now, with the community, we will be doing way more interaction.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: We'll be inviting guests in.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: You're getting behind the scenes, behind the mic information.
• 16:41
  You'll be able to ask questions,
• 16:43
  ask us,
• 16:44
  interact with us,
• 16:45
  be seen,
• 16:46
  be heard,
• 16:46
  and join...
• 16:49
  Like we're looking at creating local groups as well so that you
• 16:52
  actually have some
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_01: physical contact.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_01: Cause you know, we know this is another screen.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's another time, more time you've got to put in front of the computer.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: The cool thing about this though, is that it could be pants optional.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_02: You don't have to show up in any particular way.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_02: You don't have to wear pants.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: You can do whatever you want.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:19
  But our vision is also to be doing live retreats where we can
• 17:25
  actually get together in person.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_01: We can do sound bowl healing.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: We can have great conversation.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: You'll learn tools on how to stay regulated in a very unregulated world.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: And you will leave an event like that floating on cloud nine.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uplift.
• 17:46
  This is the vision of what we want to bring into the world and
• 17:50
  what we want to invite you into.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: Because it doesn't exist without you.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_02: No, not at all, not at all.
• 17:58
  And joy and the conversation about how to generate an anchor
• 18:02
  into joy in this world
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_02: today,
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_02: I think is so crucial.
• 18:07
  And so we're gonna be holding space for what I believe to be
• 18:13
  one of the most
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_02: important human conversations that we can be in.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_02: You can ask AI about joy.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_02: But at the end of the day,
• 18:21
  you're the only one who gets to experience it and fully feel it
• 18:25
  and integrate it
• 18:26
  and dance with it and let it expand from you through you to and
• 18:32
  flow into the lives
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_02: of the people that you love.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_02: I want more people to have a joyous life.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah,
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_01: and it's interesting that you bring up the AI thing because,
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 18:43
  it's a challenge right now because people are feeling like they
• 18:47
  have a friendship
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_01: with their AI bot more than they're having friends outside.
• 18:55
  and we want to bring it back to real friendships real
• 18:59
  sisterhood human connection
• 19:01
  yeah yeah yeah and it's that connection to yourself right
• 19:05
  starts there it starts
• 19:06
  starts right there so that you're not afraid if you're afraid
• 19:09
  to plug into yourself
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_02: you're not going to plug into other people
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_02: And so, you know, it starts right here.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: So I love this conversation.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_02: I'm excited that you're here.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_02: Again,
• 19:20
  please share this podcast with anybody that you think you would
• 19:24
  like to invite into
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_02: the joy conversation.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_02: You want to give some people a joy jolt.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_02: I've been doing joy jolts for years.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_02: And so it's so fun for me to have this conversation come to life.
• 19:37
  And so when I walk up to people who I feel like are feeling
• 19:40
  down,
• 19:40
  I'll put my arms around them.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_02: And then very lovingly,
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_02: because you got to be careful with people's bodies,
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'll pull them towards me and I'll just whisper in their ear,
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_02: joy jolt,
• 19:50
  joy jolt.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like,
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_02: when those people,
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_02: when their hearts stop beating and they use those,
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_02: and they're in the hospital,
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_02: let's not wait till our heart is completely dead.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 20:01
  But sometimes I can feel that people's hearts are not beating
• 20:04
  as quickly as they
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_02: want,
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_02: or they're not,
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: they're not feeling the,
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_02: the,
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_02: the life move through themselves.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like,
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_02: I can,
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_02: if I can be a reminder and give myself and share it with someone else,
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_02: Joy Schultz,
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_02: I know it activates the humanness that we all want more of in our life.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm excited to be here.

• 20:51
  frequency,
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_01: in a higher vibration.
• 20:53
  And that's going to cause a ripple effect in your life and the
• 20:57
  people that you know.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_01: That's why we chose the logo that we did,
• 21:00

• 21:04
