  SPEAKER_00: We went halfway around the world to come home and my husband go, wow, look at where we live.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: So traveling sometimes gives you great perspective.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: But I think we really are clear.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: We've set up a pretty joyful life.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and here's the thing.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's not like you fell into that by accident.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_02: You were intentional
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_02: about the kind of life and joy that you wanted to create
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_02: for you and your family.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and it required us to bump up against a lot of resistance,
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: to step outside of kind of my paradigm.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's been a journey.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: My joy, and I guess that's what it is, like real joy.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: Joy is a journey.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's not just a destination.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's not just a small little feeling that you feel at the end of accomplishing something.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: Joy is a journey.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you know what it is, darling?
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_02: It's a way of being.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's a way of life.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's a way of doing the journey.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: I am a joy-seeking being.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: If anybody wants to know.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: No one disputes that.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a joy-seeking vegan.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm always arguing with my husband.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: I want to feel more joy.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: This is not joyful.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_02: He's like, how is that possible?
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's possible, Nat.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_02: Well, there's always another level.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: Always another level.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're never done with your joy.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: Or your journey.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_02: Or your lessons.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_02: All the good stuff.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_02: You're never done.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_02: You're never done.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: And so you've got to get playful about it and you've got to enjoy it.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: And my dad, he told me two lessons that I really have taken to heart.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: He taught me,
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: he said,
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: you know, hey, I really, number one, want my children to just enjoy themselves.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: And I've really taken that to heart.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: And I think I'm probably his only child that's really enjoying themselves.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that's a good question to ask yourself.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: Are you enjoying yourself?
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you've certainly taken
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: that and ran with it.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: That is for sure.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: That's a good lesson.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's a good lesson.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_02: And what was the other one?
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the second is if you don't like the way that you're being treated,
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: the only thing that you can really do is to absence yourself from their presence.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and, and something that I don't, I don't, I don't openly share that much is right now.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not even talking to my dad.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: I've absenced myself.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: From his presence because I don't enjoy our interactions anymore.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: I love myself so much and I take those lessons so deeply to heart
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: that I will remove myself lovingly.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: I still love my dad.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: I don't have any anger towards my dad.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just very protective of my joy.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: And so I'm honoring my father by taking You know, his lessons very seriously.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: He would always tell myself, tell me when I was growing up, Susan, you can't change people.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: But if you don't like the way you're being treated,
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: the only thing you can do is absence yourself from someone's presence.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you try to communicate, you try to share what you want.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: But at some point, if you're not getting back what you need, it is okay for you to step away.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's more than okay.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_02: And now you just mentioned earlier that traveling gives you perspective.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: So,
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_02: let's share with our listeners some of the,
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: some of the insights or the moments that were really,
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: impressionable while
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_02: you were on your amazing vacation sailing
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: around Croatia.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Well, before we even got on the boat, we were in Croatia and we were in Split.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I got up really early in the morning and I looked at my husband.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: I go, you want to go for a jog?
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: And he goes, I didn't know you were a jogger.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: First of all.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: So anyway, that weird desire came over to me to go jogging.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not a jogger.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: It was really early in the morning.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: I had a little jet lag.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: But we drug ourselves out of bed.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: And one of the most beautiful things that happened out of
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: that is we didn't end up going jogging,
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: but we ended up going into the city, into the old town in Split.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: And we had the entire town to ourselves.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: It was so early in the morning.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody else was awake.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: And we were meandering through this old town.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: Just by ourselves.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I think the perspective that it gave me,
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: because even though we were completely by ourselves,
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: there is an awareness that generation upon generation upon generation
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: of people have inhabited this space.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_02: Like thousands of years.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_02: Thousands
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: of years.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and all those people are gone.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to be gone one day too.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: And all that's going to be left is just the spaces that I got to roam around in.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: And so I know this sounds bleak,
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: but I really do feel like looking at your life as a little bit of time,
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: you only get a little bit of time,
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: that kind of gives perspective for you to enjoy yourself more in the present.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody gets out of this alive.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_02: No, no.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, nobody gets out.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: You know the number one cause of death?
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Number one cause of death?
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: Birth.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: There it is.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and that's the thing.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_02: We get to choose.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_02: We get to choose how we are navigating this existence.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_02: You know, so,
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_02: and I'm loving the,
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_02: so in case you're thinking that's like some kind of Photoshop thing behind Susan,
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: it is not.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: I can hear the ocean.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: I can hear the waves.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Beautiful day.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: New perspective.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_02: There we go.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: It was so pretty, right?
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: So beautiful.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: And this is the location,
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: Nat, of our, we're going to be doing a retreat here in October called Real Joy.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: Even though that looks fake, it's totally real.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_02: It's real.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, so we're inviting you to come to Paradise with us for four days.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_02: And I want to just share a little bit about why we're doing this.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, yes,
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: we want more joy and yes,
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: we want to,
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_02: be able to share this experience with women and new friends and all of that.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: But I have been reaching out to girlfriends of mine who I haven't seen or spoken to
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: since maybe before the pandemic.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: Right?
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_02: Which a girlfriend reminded me yesterday was six years.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, six years since I've, I mean, crazy.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_02: And when I reached out to them,
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, you know, guys, look, I know it's been a while since we've talked.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, I've kind of gone through this crazy, crazy time.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm sure that you've got a version of that story as well.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_02: And let's just chat.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_02: Let's just connect, see what you're up to.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_02: And wow, does everybody have a version of that story.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_02: deaths of parents,
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_02: illnesses,
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_02: businesses breaking down,
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_02: financial challenges, challenges with kids, just, you know.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_02: A whole lot of life.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_02: A whole lot of life.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_02: And what seems to be the one thing that everyone seems to have
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: in common right now is we're trying to figure out what's next.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: Well, in a world where the world doesn't even know what's next.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: That's what's so crazy is we're having this internal experience about what do I want
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: to create,
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: but the world itself is in that discussion with how rapidly everything is changing.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: So we're living in an interesting time.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: And the only thing that you have control over is how you are energetically going
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: to sit in the unknowing.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's your energy.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and the thing is, the world isn't going to calm down anytime soon.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: You know, there is not going to be any calming of the world.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I think through
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: to 2008,
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_02: you know, if you,
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: I know Rachel Lang is here and she's,
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: was one of our past guests and she's an astrologer and I'm sure she can confirm,
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_02: like, nope, nope, things are going to be crazy for a little while.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_02: And...
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_02: We also get to create our own reality in that, you know, our own version of that.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to create
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: a joyful one.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: Anybody want to join?
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, maybe.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_02: Let me think about it.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: Come on.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: And this is part of what this retreat is all about because it is
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_02: about having like unplugging and resetting But it's also
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_02: about reimagining what our next chapter can be, you know.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_02: So we have, I mean, and Susie's been living in Playa del Carmen for 10 years now?
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_02: 11 years in July.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_02: 11 years, yeah.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: And for me,
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: what's really exciting about this is that I've toyed around with the idea
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: of doing retreats since you get down here.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: You're like, oh, it's a natural retreat spot.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just it never clicked, never clicked, never clicked.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: And then all of a sudden I realized it's because I don't want to do it as
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: a cookie cutter retreat in some hotel that's all inclusive and you sit in
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: a conference room and maybe like we are going to do things at this retreat
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: that you can only access because you have people who've been living here for
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: so long.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to be in a little gem called Pamul, which is owned by a real Mexican family.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's been in their family for generations and we're going to be having a lot of
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: the events in the home of one of my real friends.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to be the principal property that's right on the beach.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's where we're sitting right now.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: This is where my children were raised here in this house.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: We've had lots of real family gatherings here.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: And we're going to take you into situations in Mexico
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: that
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: most people don't normally get to do because they're
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: only kind of at
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: the surface of what Mexico has to offer.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_02: There's such magic here.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_02: There is the tourist version of Mexico and especially Playa, like Cancun, Playa, Tulum.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_02: As a tourist, you can have a great time.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_02: But what we're organizing is something deeper and richer than that.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_02: And really real.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm real.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_02: So it is going to include things like, you know, soundball healing.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's going to include some deep.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_02: We've got Dr. Diane Kayser who's also joining us.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_02: She is a women's doctor that specializes in women's health and especially how
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: to optimize that treatment.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: So that you're feeling better than you ever have.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_02: You know, and we are talking about anti-aging, biohacking, peptides, all those kinds of things.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_02: I do a protocol is very similar to what she recommends and I feel the best I have
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_02: for my whole life.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_02: Like I never felt this good.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_02: Because here's the thing,
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_02: we're at this really incredible juncture in our lives where maybe we've stepped out
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_02: of a marriage or the kids have grown up and now all of a sudden it's like,
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_02: okay, well now it's my time.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: So who am I and what do I want?
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_02: So this is what we're going to be focusing on.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: What is this next chapter going to be?
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_02: We want to give you all the information,
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_02: not just while you're at the retreat and having incredible experiences,
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_02: which I'll get you to explain a little bit more about in the moment,
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_02: but to be able to go home With tools and practices so that once you leave
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: the beautiful paradise that is Pumul and get back to the real world,
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: you won't be feeling like you're at the mercy of the news and social media
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_02: and what's happening in the world.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: You'll be able to have ways to be able to ground and
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_02: to center different perspectives on how to see things and a new vision.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: Of what your future is going to be.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: And that's my wheelhouse.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: Helping you to imagine something that maybe you never even entertained the thought of before.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_02: And how to really articulate that and crystallize that into something that's going
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_02: to just be the most exciting chapter of your life.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to be fun.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to be fun.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I think the way to think about it simply is mind, body, and spirit.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: Like real mind.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: You know, Natalie Ledwell from Mind Movies, Real Mind.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to get into that mindset.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to get into your real body.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: Diane's going to talk to you about and share with you, and we're going to have experiences.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: And then the spirit, the energy, really is what I focus on.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: And how do we live in the context?
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: You know, because what is energy?
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: Energy is a context.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: I always tell people in my classes, I'm like, feel the space around you.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: You know, this space is the energetic field in which you're creating into.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: And whether you're intentional about that energy or not, a context is always being created.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: One of the reasons that we selected Pumwal as a location,
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_00: and I wonder if you can see this,
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to move my camera, but can you see all the holes in the beach out there?
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: Like kind of divots, ups and downs.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: Those are all turtle nests.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: These are all turtle nests.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: Every night we have five or six turtles that we watch that come up onto the sand
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: and lay their eggs.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: Little turtles are hatching now, but there's life, real life brewing under the sand.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: This is the largest turtle beach in all of the Mayan Riviera, right here in front of this house.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: So there's something, this is a life force.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: This is an energy.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: That we're inviting you to step into and we're super excited to share it with
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_00: a curated group of women.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're listening to this and you know a woman that could benefit from kind
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: of re-engaging,
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: plugging back into herself, the definition of joy is just open yourself.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: God, we're all living like this, you know, and we're all carrying this.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: But like to really give yourself the opportunity to open, open yourself.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_00: Open your mind, open your body, opening that spirit.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_02: And we have some very unique experiences as well.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_02: So let's describe a little bit about Ansei and then Misty's magical.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: So my friend who is helping hold the space with us, her name is Sophie.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: She is the creator and designer and owner of Onse.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's a boutique resort in the jungle near Pamul.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: And it is an absolutely divine,
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: sacred, magical space where we're gonna come in and just be nurtured.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: I wanna say that again,
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: because sometimes women are used to being the nurturers But are we really open
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: to being nurtured?
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: And so the retreat is going to kick off with such a nurturing experience
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_00: where we're going to be swimming on candlelight in the cenote.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to be doing some sound healing.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to be doing a temescal.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to have a lovely...
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: Beautiful meal that's gonna be set under a palapa.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna just knock people's socks off.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna have a beautiful time.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: And let's also say there's a gorgeous pool that we get to lounge by so
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: that we can kind of just exhale and step back into our bodies,
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: manage that nervous system and doing it really in a community and in a sisterhood.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'm excited about the women that are gonna come together for this activity and this experience.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: And even like,
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_02: you know, our meals and things, you know, we'll be having meaningful conversations.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_02: We'll be tackling the big things,
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_02: and also creating community and friendship as well while we're there as well,
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_02: which is the purpose of one of the other purposes of this.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_02: Because, you know, as women, we are going through a lot right now and we...
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: We have to know that we're not the only ones, that we're not alone.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_02: And having the love and support of other women who are our peers and people
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_02: that we love and respect as well is what's got me through it anyway.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: And you know what I think too, Nat,
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: is I think like when I look at why we put this retreat together is,
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: yes, life is hard.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, difficult things happen.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: But the point of all of it, the point of all of it is what?
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_00: The point of all of it is to feel good.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: The point of all of it is joy.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: There's going to be painful things, but there's going to be hard things.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_00: But I feel like this is an opportunity for you to really embody joy,
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: to think about joy,
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: to let joy become the operating system that is going to best serve you in the world
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: that we're living in.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: Joy is the point.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, what's the point?
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_00: Joy.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_00: Joy is the point.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_00: Why do people want to work through their trauma?
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_00: They never get to the other side of the equation.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's joy because we want to enjoy ourselves.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: We want more joy out of our lives.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: So it's going to be an embodied experience.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_02: And it's going to be a complete reset.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: A reset of everything.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_02: A reset of nervous system, of emotions, of our mental state, our physical, our spiritual.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it is a complete and utter reset of everything.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I want to just share,
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: there's a really special place here near Pamul, and it's a virgin beach where...
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_00: When you go to it, you can't see anybody to your left or anybody to your right.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: And you're just standing on a virgin beach.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: And that experience,
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: my husband is the one who really presenced me this and how special this really is.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: As I walked out there with him and I was standing there and I was watching
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_00: the sunset and I looked at him and I'm like, God, this is unreal.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: And he looked at me and he said, no, Susan, this is as real as it gets.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_00: And he said that we as human beings have forgotten what reality feels like
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_00: and what reality looks like because we live in so much noise.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: And so to have the privilege to just stand
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: in what is most real is what invites your nervous system to come back to itself.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: And so I'm excited about bringing This group of women to that virgin beach so
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: that we can all collectively kind of reset our nervous systems together.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_02: Now we're only going to be, you know, collating a group of 15 to 20 women.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_02: It's going to be a small group.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_02: Especially because of some of the activities that we've got organised.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_02: We can only have a certain group, you know, a sized group to be able to do that.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_02: And we also don't want it to be that big that it becomes impersonal.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_02: We want everyone to be seen and heard and to be witnessed and for us
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_02: to have connection with everyone in the group.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_02: So that was really important to us.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_02: And you can see that Susie's put the website here, which is realjoyretreats.com.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_02: Now, if you look at the packages, it also includes the hotel as well.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_02: So tell us about the hotel because it's like walking distance along the beach.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even know if I call it walking.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'd say meandering distance.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_00: You're going to meander from your porch,
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_00: which is in the sand,
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_00: to the principal home where we'll meet for breakfast and for other activities.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_00: But the hotel is beautiful.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's located right here in Pamul.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's toes in It's a gorgeous,
• 21:55

• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: for generations.

  SPEAKER_00: And so it really is a special experience.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: You can feel the love here.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's a wonderful gem of a community that not a lot of people know about.
