Running on fumes? Today we’re diving into something Rochel Lawson calls the "Duck Syndrome," that exhausting state where we look perfectly calm and collected on the surface while our feet are paddling like crazy underneath just to stay afloat.

Rochelle is a total powerhouse - a registered nurse, Ayurvedic healer, and a CEO who has spent decades leading in high-pressure, male-dominated industries.

She isn’t just speaking from a textbook; she’s lived the stress, felt the physical toll it takes on a woman's body, and found her way back to alignment through the beautiful, ancient wisdom of Ayurveda.

We talk about the "unique essence" we all carry and how easy it is to lose touch with ourselves when we’re constantly looking outward for validation or success.

Rochelle shares some incredibly simple, one-minute shifts you can start tomorrow morning before your feet even hit the floor to help you reclaim your energy and build wealth without losing your soul in the process.

It’s an honest, grounded look at why putting yourself first isn't selfish...it's actually the only way to become truly unstoppable.

You’ll hear us chat about:

  • The reality of navigating leadership stress and systemic pressure as a woman
  • How to identify your "dosha" or unique essence to find your natural flow
  • Why your body speaks louder when you stop listening to the whispers
  • Simple ways to check in with yourself that don’t require an extra hour in your day
  • The power of "writing it out and burning it up" to clear your internal system

I can’t wait for you to hear Rochelle’s wisdom. It’s time to stop paddling so hard and start thriving from a place of peace.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.969
Hello, and welcome to today's episode of Thrive after 45.

00:00:05.969 --> 00:00:10.800
I'm Denise Drink Walter heart whisperer, midlife mirror and mentor.

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:16.350
And every week I am honored to share energy and space with inspiring guests.

00:00:17.335 --> 00:00:22.225
Whose stories reflect so many possibilities of thriving beyond 45?

00:00:22.225 --> 00:00:30.626
Together we'll uncover the whispers of the heart, the power of midlife transformation, and the wisdom that fuels expansion.

00:00:30.626 --> 00:00:42.625
What if the reason so many successful women feel exhausted isn't because they're doing too much, but because they're doing it disconnected?

00:00:42.625 --> 00:00:43.915
From their bodies.

00:00:43.915 --> 00:00:50.095
It's an honor and a privilege to welcome Rochelle Lawson to our show today.

00:00:50.095 --> 00:00:52.106
Rochelle is a registered nurse.

00:00:52.106 --> 00:00:57.206
I revert Veda health practitioner and multi-business CEO.

00:00:57.206 --> 00:01:06.745
With more than 30 years of lived, earned and embodied experience for over 34 years, Rochelle has led a woman oriented.

00:01:06.745 --> 00:01:23.335
Minority owned telecommunications company in male dominated, high pressure industries, building and sustaining success while navigating the invisible weight of leadership, stress, financial responsibility, and systemic pressure.

00:01:23.391 --> 00:01:27.171
Her expertise didn't come from theory alone.

00:01:27.171 --> 00:01:28.790
She built success.

00:01:28.790 --> 00:01:31.460
She felt the cost of it in her body.

00:01:31.460 --> 00:01:45.381
And she chose to recalibrate that crossroads led Rochelle into deep study of Eastern and western healing modalities, neuroscience informed coaching, and the ancient wisdom of I Veda.

00:01:46.427 --> 00:01:49.873
Not as concepts, but as lived practice.

00:01:49.873 --> 00:02:01.123
Through her work with over 10,000 women, she's witnessed a consistent truth when a woman's nervous system, mindset and body are out of alignment, her leadership.

00:02:01.123 --> 00:02:06.043
Confidence and wealth suffer when those foundations are restored.

00:02:06.043 --> 00:02:20.264
Everything shifts today, Rochelle blend science, strategy, soul, and structure to help women restore their health, reclaim their power, and build wealth without sacrificing themselves in the process.

00:02:20.264 --> 00:02:26.024
This conversation is for every woman who has succeeded on the outside.

00:02:26.024 --> 00:02:30.253
Knows there's more possible on the inside.

00:02:30.253 --> 00:02:32.683
Welcome to our show today, Rochelle.

00:02:32.683 --> 00:02:34.753
I can't wait to have this conversation.

00:02:34.753 --> 00:02:35.834
Well, thank you so much.

00:02:35.834 --> 00:02:37.063
It's a pleasure to be here.

00:02:39.239 --> 00:02:42.074
And just for the record, my name is Rochelle Marie.

00:02:42.074 --> 00:02:43.153
Okay.

00:02:43.213 --> 00:02:44.473
Oh my apologies.

00:02:44.473 --> 00:02:45.973
Thank you for clarifying worries.

00:02:46.003 --> 00:02:47.294
That's perfect.

00:02:47.533 --> 00:02:51.913
I will make sure that we correct that in all the right spots.

00:02:52.933 --> 00:02:53.264
Love it.

00:02:53.543 --> 00:02:54.532
Perfect.

00:02:54.532 --> 00:03:05.643
How in the world do we ever take all of the pressures that we as women feel and.

00:03:06.093 --> 00:03:10.204
Create that no longer duck.

00:03:11.028 --> 00:03:18.709
Persona where you're on the top, everything looks fine, but underneath just paddling like crazy.

00:03:18.709 --> 00:03:29.628
In order to stay afloat, well, first of all, we have to actually give ourselves permission to understand that we are under a lot of pressure, tremendous pressure.

00:03:30.169 --> 00:03:31.429
We have to recognize it.

00:03:31.429 --> 00:03:34.834
It's, and I, what I find a lot is that women discount it.

00:03:35.609 --> 00:03:38.459
They don't recognize it because they've been doing it for so long.

00:03:38.998 --> 00:03:43.049
It's like these freckles on my face, you just, they blur, right?

00:03:43.318 --> 00:03:43.378
Yeah.

00:03:43.378 --> 00:03:46.433
And so, um, if you don't honor yourself.

00:03:47.524 --> 00:03:48.963
Truly honor yourself.

00:03:48.963 --> 00:04:00.544
You can't recognize when you're just basically, like you said, the duck looking beautiful on top, but struggling underneath and hiding it consistently so nobody knows.

00:04:00.753 --> 00:04:03.544
And so the first step is really to.

00:04:03.993 --> 00:04:06.574
Recognize that yeah, you are going through some things.

00:04:06.574 --> 00:04:07.533
You are struggling.

00:04:07.984 --> 00:04:08.044
Yeah.

00:04:08.044 --> 00:04:12.123
And then once you begin to recognize it, that is when you can begin to address it.

00:04:12.123 --> 00:04:14.794
And that's like with anything in life, you know?

00:04:15.394 --> 00:04:15.454
Yeah.

00:04:15.454 --> 00:04:26.163
Bad relationships, bad kids, bad situations, um, or good, you know, you have to recognize it first in order to be able to internalize it and then process it.

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:38.569
When we recognize it, I know a lot of women that I support, recognize it, but then don't know what to do.

00:04:39.124 --> 00:04:39.423
Right.

00:04:39.423 --> 00:04:41.463
They, they see it, they witness it.

00:04:41.463 --> 00:04:43.444
They, they talk to friends about it.

00:04:43.744 --> 00:05:00.754
But it just is a cycle of talking and not knowing what to do or, yeah, this is just the way life is and I'm gonna survive it, and next year I'm gonna push my way past it or figure it out another, you know, I don't have time right now, but I can do that later, I promise.

00:05:02.098 --> 00:05:17.103
You know, the beautiful thing about Ayurveda and my background as an emergency room trauma nurse, as well as in the ER setting, you could have multiple chaotic, catastrophic things going on with your patients.

00:05:17.584 --> 00:05:17.673
Mm-hmm.

00:05:17.704 --> 00:05:28.684
But the first thing is to recognize what's the most life threatening thing that if you don't take care of that first, then your patient will not even.

00:05:29.463 --> 00:05:30.963
Survive, let alone thrive.

00:05:30.963 --> 00:05:31.829
Right, right.

00:05:31.834 --> 00:05:41.673
So with us women, the first thing we have to recognize, and the beautiful thing about Ayurveda is we have to recognize our own unique essence in the world.

00:05:42.093 --> 00:05:45.668
As little girls we watch our moms, our aunties, our grand.

00:05:46.074 --> 00:05:53.814
Smalls do stuff without even understanding or recognizing all the stuff that they're doing that's underneath the surface.

00:05:54.444 --> 00:06:01.999
So with Ayurveda, what it teaches you is you have a unique essence in the world, and that unique essence is like.

00:06:02.704 --> 00:06:04.384
No one else is on the planet.

00:06:04.444 --> 00:06:10.024
It's created at the moment of conception when the, the eggs tells that sperm, oh yeah, you're the one.

00:06:10.653 --> 00:06:11.973
Um, let's make a baby.

00:06:12.033 --> 00:06:25.713
That's the moment your unique essence is created, and once you understand your unique essence, which is called your dosha in Ayurveda, it is from that foundational level that you can begin to know more about you.

00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:36.309
Uniquely you internally and how you ebb and flow and the things that kind of can cause chaos with your natural flow of how you should Harmon Ally go through life.

00:06:36.428 --> 00:06:45.189
And so it starts with the recognition of what I am and then looking around and seeing what is the most catastrophic thing.

00:06:45.218 --> 00:06:45.309
Mm-hmm.

00:06:45.548 --> 00:06:48.204
That's upsetting my unique essence.

00:06:48.668 --> 00:06:55.598
And then at that point you can begin to figure out like those patients I took care of, what's the nest?

00:06:55.939 --> 00:06:57.139
Best step, right?

00:06:57.139 --> 00:07:01.548
That's gonna help me not only survive, but to thrive as I'm surviving.

00:07:02.598 --> 00:07:03.874
And that's pretty much it.

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:14.088
It is just really getting in touch with yourself and understanding your unique essence in the world and how you ebb and flow in your own little divine bubble.

00:07:15.033 --> 00:07:15.754
Love that.

00:07:15.783 --> 00:07:16.473
Love that.

00:07:16.774 --> 00:07:22.233
That whole piece of individuality is so paramount, isn't it?

00:07:22.593 --> 00:07:23.434
Yes, it is.

00:07:23.434 --> 00:07:23.494
Yeah.

00:07:23.494 --> 00:07:28.684
I tell people, even identical twins don't have this unique essence.

00:07:28.774 --> 00:07:29.764
Um, yeah.

00:07:29.764 --> 00:07:40.834
You know, that one sperm may have pre, you know, fertilize that egg in the egg broke off into two and yes, identical 10 twins are very connected as well as fraternal twins, but they all have their own unique.

00:07:41.329 --> 00:07:42.019
Essence.

00:07:42.379 --> 00:07:42.468
Mm-hmm.

00:07:42.468 --> 00:07:46.548
And so it's just understanding that you're a gift to the world.

00:07:46.553 --> 00:07:46.834
Mm-hmm.

00:07:47.088 --> 00:07:52.129
And your uniqueness is not a detriment, it's not a curse.

00:07:52.519 --> 00:08:01.249
It's a beautiful, beautiful essence that allows you to share only what you can share with the world, how you share it with the world.

00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.949
And so it really is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

00:08:03.949 --> 00:08:06.559
But in our world, we're so.

00:08:07.744 --> 00:08:17.314
Externally driven and motivated, yes, to get out of touch with the uniqueness within ourselves, and it's really coming back to you and it's not being selfish.

00:08:17.374 --> 00:08:21.723
It's doing the best thing we can for those that you love and care about as well.

00:08:22.168 --> 00:08:27.358
I love that we talk about that all the time on this show for you, by you because of you.

00:08:27.358 --> 00:08:36.958
And when you fill your own cup, then you have the capacity to support all those in your sphere of influence.

00:08:36.958 --> 00:08:45.418
When you are, your cup is empty, you think you are doing, but you really aren't doing from the cup that you need to fulfill from, right?

00:08:45.964 --> 00:08:46.183
Yes.

00:08:46.644 --> 00:08:46.864
Yes.

00:08:47.188 --> 00:08:47.639
Yes.

00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:48.448
Yeah.

00:08:48.509 --> 00:08:49.078
Yeah.

00:08:50.403 --> 00:08:52.293
I think it's very important.

00:08:52.293 --> 00:09:07.413
One of the things you just shared, um, Rochelle memory is about you are a gift no matter what anybody else says or thinks or does around you.

00:09:08.073 --> 00:09:17.854
That is a seed that I think all of us need to really plant and water.

00:09:18.828 --> 00:09:21.198
Right now and feed Right.

00:09:22.293 --> 00:09:22.573
I agree.

00:09:23.058 --> 00:09:23.328
I agree.

00:09:23.328 --> 00:09:23.629
Yeah.

00:09:23.869 --> 00:09:27.619
I think sometimes even, you know, and, and to put a spin on it.

00:09:27.889 --> 00:09:28.188
Sure.

00:09:28.188 --> 00:09:34.369
Um, even those people that do the most, he heinous things in the world.

00:09:34.609 --> 00:09:34.729
Mm-hmm.

00:09:34.969 --> 00:09:34.989
You know?

00:09:34.989 --> 00:09:34.999
Mm-hmm.

00:09:35.509 --> 00:09:37.908
Um, they are a gift.

00:09:38.433 --> 00:09:57.333
Believe it or not, because without them doing their divine mission, which is to be chaotic and to do heinous things, we would not be able to understand the essence of what our true nature is and how we should thrive and survive or ebb and flow as we travel down our pla path to bliss.

00:09:57.724 --> 00:10:00.994
So in my mind, mm-hmm.

00:10:00.995 --> 00:10:01.004
Everyone.

00:10:01.594 --> 00:10:02.673
Has a mission.

00:10:02.913 --> 00:10:22.413
Some mission, some people's missions are not always that good, you know, our right, but it's in the mission that we learn so much more about ourselves and how to circumvent chaos in our life if we're truly paying attention, and we're truly tapped into, again, our own unique essence.

00:10:23.359 --> 00:10:32.298
So what is, let's, let's pull apart a little bit so we as an audience can understand more about Ayurveda.

00:10:33.033 --> 00:10:34.203
I never say it right.

00:10:34.203 --> 00:10:35.014
I apologize.

00:10:35.014 --> 00:10:36.303
Tell me again how to say it.

00:10:36.303 --> 00:10:37.168
I, you said it.

00:10:37.269 --> 00:10:38.808
You just said it, right.

00:10:39.318 --> 00:10:39.609
Okay.

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:40.048
Okay.

00:10:40.188 --> 00:10:45.453
I'm, I put it in my notes phonetically just to make sure I tried to do it properly.

00:10:46.083 --> 00:10:52.413
Did what is it exactly?

00:10:52.624 --> 00:10:55.923
And help us to understand how that.

00:10:57.063 --> 00:11:05.344
Provides the stability and the foundation for what you're speaking of in terms of understanding our mission as an individual.

00:11:06.153 --> 00:11:16.953
So Ayurveda is an ancient, uh, holistic modality that originated in India, but anywhere between, uh, 3,500 to 7,000 years ago.

00:11:17.014 --> 00:11:24.394
And it was based on a utilization of the divine has here on earth for us to keep us healthy and balanced and harmonically flowing.

00:11:24.693 --> 00:11:26.073
If you think back to like the.

00:11:26.433 --> 00:11:32.734
Ancient cultures of Egypt, ancient Egypt, everything they utilized was what we had here on earth.

00:11:32.764 --> 00:11:35.134
There were no pharmaceutical companies making things.

00:11:35.134 --> 00:11:37.653
Sure they were using herbs and divineness, right?

00:11:37.683 --> 00:11:38.073
Mm-hmm.

00:11:38.313 --> 00:11:39.514
Same thing with Ayurveda.

00:11:39.813 --> 00:11:46.683
And so the beautiful thing about Ayurveda is it taps into everything within the universe.

00:11:47.163 --> 00:11:48.543
So when I say you're unique.

00:11:49.129 --> 00:11:50.599
Essence or your dosha?

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:51.349
Your dosha.

00:11:52.009 --> 00:11:53.328
There's three main doshas.

00:11:53.328 --> 00:11:58.938
One is, uh, Vata, which is comprised of a lot of air and ether the elements.

00:11:58.938 --> 00:11:59.328
Right?

00:11:59.418 --> 00:11:59.778
Okay.

00:11:59.839 --> 00:12:00.078
Yep.

00:12:00.259 --> 00:12:03.109
Then there's the pitted dosha, which is fire and earth.

00:12:03.109 --> 00:12:04.578
A lot of, lot of fire.

00:12:05.629 --> 00:12:09.438
And then there's the capo, which is a more stable earth and water.

00:12:09.769 --> 00:12:18.739
And so when you think of these unique essence or these unique people, um, every one of those doshas and, and.

00:12:19.668 --> 00:12:24.619
They can, you can have a multitude of compositions of between the three, but you have one main dominant one.

00:12:24.619 --> 00:12:24.828
Right.

00:12:25.158 --> 00:12:25.519
Okay.

00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.578
First, I myself, I'm a pta, so I'm full of fire.

00:12:28.604 --> 00:12:28.894
Okay.

00:12:29.178 --> 00:12:31.038
I'm creative, I'm innovative.

00:12:31.158 --> 00:12:32.778
I'm a vision visionary.

00:12:32.778 --> 00:12:41.869
I have, um, tenacity that will drive you crazy and I just, you know, go through the fire, so to speak.

00:12:41.869 --> 00:12:41.928
Yeah.

00:12:42.259 --> 00:12:46.458
Um, and so for me, when I'm out of balance.

00:12:46.788 --> 00:12:48.528
It's the, the chaos.

00:12:48.558 --> 00:12:50.958
I'm very sharp, very short.

00:12:50.958 --> 00:12:53.328
I'm very, I cut to the chase.

00:12:53.328 --> 00:12:59.989
I mean, I'm not, I don't always phonetically deliver the message appropriately or nice and touchy feely.

00:12:59.989 --> 00:13:00.854
Right, right.

00:13:01.009 --> 00:13:05.933
But, um, also within the essence of that, within my body, those are the things that are also.

00:13:06.364 --> 00:13:18.783
Out of balance with me, I have a lot more fire, so I tend to have more digestive issues or, uh, more cardiac issues or my reproductive system is more full of fire, things of that nature.

00:13:19.413 --> 00:13:19.653
Mm-hmm.

00:13:19.894 --> 00:13:33.994
So understanding that, and that's what Ayurveda does, it helps you to understand how beautifully we are all connected to the essences on our planet as well as the universe and how when we're out of balance.

00:13:34.428 --> 00:13:48.859
Those things show up, and then it gives really the game plan on how to correct those imbalances that are unique to you and for you so that you can Harmon ally flow through life like we're all supposed to.

00:13:49.509 --> 00:13:51.158
So, yeah, it's, it's beautiful.

00:13:51.369 --> 00:14:06.384
Ayurveda encompasses, uh, detoxification and, you know, when you think about western medicine, you have psychiatry, you know, pediatrics, cardiology, respiratory, all of that same thing within Ayurveda, the disciplines of, okay, just.

00:14:07.578 --> 00:14:10.698
Formulated it different and they work on the systems.

00:14:11.298 --> 00:14:21.538
And Ayurveda is about getting to the root cause of the imbalance, the illness or disease, instead of masking and eliminating it, instead of masking it.

00:14:21.614 --> 00:14:21.693
Hmm.

00:14:22.653 --> 00:14:27.783
With medications that take care of the symptoms, but don't do anything for the root cause of the disease.

00:14:27.813 --> 00:14:28.653
And so, right.

00:14:29.254 --> 00:14:32.014
Um, it, it, it's a beautiful practice.

00:14:32.014 --> 00:14:33.604
It's a, it's a beautiful discipline.

00:14:33.604 --> 00:14:39.903
It's a reason why it's been around for thousands of years and why still continues to thrive and actually it's becoming in more mainstream.

00:14:40.173 --> 00:14:43.653
But I became a nurse 35 years, almost 36 years ago.

00:14:44.403 --> 00:14:50.854
Nobody talking about Ayurveda, but yet I still shared it with my patients in the er and as.

00:14:51.484 --> 00:14:55.714
The medical community has evolved now, you see mm-hmm.

00:14:55.714 --> 00:15:05.163
Western medicine physicians reaching out and learning about eastern medicine practices and then beginning to incorporate those into their clinical practices as well.

00:15:05.163 --> 00:15:07.354
So, uh, it's beautiful.

00:15:07.384 --> 00:15:08.139
It's a, it's a, it's.

00:15:08.583 --> 00:15:11.313
A complimentary, um, mm-hmm.

00:15:11.464 --> 00:15:15.844
Way of living with western medicine or it can be a dominant way and you use Western medicine.

00:15:16.024 --> 00:15:18.244
It's complimentary, but it's a beautiful asset.

00:15:18.543 --> 00:15:19.144
Very beautiful.

00:15:19.144 --> 00:15:19.413
Right.

00:15:20.374 --> 00:15:29.788
And, and what I'm understanding is you're sharing all of the components, is that it is, um, available to all of us.

00:15:30.558 --> 00:15:43.458
Right, in terms of understanding and capitalizing on the strengths and knowing who you are as an individual, and your body speaks loudly when you are available to listen, right?

00:15:43.458 --> 00:15:43.639
Yeah.

00:15:44.058 --> 00:15:44.298
Yes.

00:15:45.333 --> 00:15:48.094
The more we don't listen, the louder the body speak.

00:15:50.778 --> 00:15:50.999
Yes.

00:15:52.869 --> 00:15:53.158
Yeah.

00:15:53.374 --> 00:15:59.793
Until you have this crisis and then you end up in the ER with someone like me taking care of you and Right.

00:16:00.274 --> 00:16:00.484
Yeah.

00:16:00.484 --> 00:16:03.604
I'm not clinically practicing anymore, but I'm still licensed in.

00:16:03.634 --> 00:16:04.533
Um, right.

00:16:04.538 --> 00:16:04.639
Okay.

00:16:04.953 --> 00:16:13.438
But yeah, you know, that's when you end up in, you know, a chaotic situation, um, that has probably been going on for years, but you neglect to listen to.

00:16:15.453 --> 00:16:20.344
Because you just had to take care of everybody else and everybody else's challenges and everybody else's things.

00:16:20.344 --> 00:16:25.624
And, and, and that's the other thing I would say is ladies and gentlemen mm-hmm.

00:16:26.224 --> 00:16:32.433
We need to put ourselves first before our jobs, before our kids, before our spouses, before anything external.

00:16:32.734 --> 00:16:39.724
Because once you can stand in that pillar of epitome of health and wellbeing within your mind, body, spirit, and soul.

00:16:39.724 --> 00:16:39.813
Hmm.

00:16:40.553 --> 00:16:43.974
We become unstoppable and we all should be unstoppable.

00:16:43.974 --> 00:16:52.553
And I think that's something we should teach our children at a very young age, is to listen to themselves and not neglect what their insights telling them.

00:16:52.913 --> 00:16:54.714
Yeah, because it's super powerful.

00:16:55.614 --> 00:16:58.014
How do we begin that journey?

00:17:00.153 --> 00:17:01.474
We know it here.

00:17:01.624 --> 00:17:08.644
We talk all the time about self care and making sure you look after yourself.

00:17:08.644 --> 00:17:25.203
First words are easier said than actual practice, and I think that's why we, part of the reason why we have the show, because we know the gifts and talents of my guests such as yourself, sharing this important work.

00:17:26.104 --> 00:17:31.683
It must be done in order for us to stay strong and grounded.

00:17:32.044 --> 00:17:35.763
How do we move it from conversation into action?

00:17:37.354 --> 00:17:44.104
Um, I think really you have to, again, it's all about putting yourself first.

00:17:44.253 --> 00:17:44.433
Mm-hmm.

00:17:44.673 --> 00:17:45.818
People think that, you know.

00:17:46.788 --> 00:17:53.179
Incorporating practices like Ayurveda or, or any other, you know, modality that's holistic is complex.

00:17:53.179 --> 00:17:54.558
For instance, meditation.

00:17:55.098 --> 00:17:55.278
Sure.

00:17:55.278 --> 00:18:05.148
People think that I need to sit and I need to, you know, be quiet and I need to, you know, close my eyes and meditate for 20 to 30 minutes or longer, and who got to, who in this day and age has time for that.

00:18:05.838 --> 00:18:06.288
Okay.

00:18:06.949 --> 00:18:07.249
Okay.

00:18:07.969 --> 00:18:08.298
Right.

00:18:08.298 --> 00:18:09.229
So they don't do it.

00:18:09.229 --> 00:18:10.038
They know they should.

00:18:10.038 --> 00:18:10.098
Yeah.

00:18:10.128 --> 00:18:13.939
But they don't do it because it's like, I can't take 20 minutes outta my day for myself.

00:18:13.963 --> 00:18:14.749
Right, right.

00:18:14.794 --> 00:18:16.023
Like, which is crazy.

00:18:16.598 --> 00:18:16.838
I know.

00:18:16.888 --> 00:18:17.239
Crazy.

00:18:17.854 --> 00:18:23.104
However, you can take 20 minutes to go to Starbucks and get and pay$900 for that cup of coffee.

00:18:23.104 --> 00:18:24.723
That is really bad for your system.

00:18:25.233 --> 00:18:27.334
Think about the time you go drive there.

00:18:27.453 --> 00:18:27.663
Yeah.

00:18:27.663 --> 00:18:28.743
Wait, fly.

00:18:28.834 --> 00:18:30.453
Get the coffee, pay the money.

00:18:30.723 --> 00:18:32.284
That's what, more than 20 minutes.

00:18:32.374 --> 00:18:33.604
So here's the thing I say.

00:18:34.084 --> 00:18:34.263
Yeah.

00:18:34.263 --> 00:18:39.153
Something simple you can start doing today before you even get out of bed when you wake up.

00:18:39.574 --> 00:18:39.663
Mm-hmm.

00:18:39.663 --> 00:18:40.834
Don't just hop out of bed.

00:18:41.403 --> 00:18:42.483
Take a minute.

00:18:42.903 --> 00:18:44.284
To check in with your body.

00:18:44.554 --> 00:18:48.453
Mm, how your feet feel, and just go from your toes all the way up to the top of your head.

00:18:49.054 --> 00:18:52.203
Give thanks for being able to wake up to see another day.

00:18:52.294 --> 00:18:52.473
Mm-hmm.

00:18:53.044 --> 00:18:56.644
And go on, get on up and go about your day a minute.

00:18:56.973 --> 00:18:57.753
That one minute.

00:18:58.334 --> 00:19:02.713
Would eventually turn into two minutes because you'll start saying, well, you know, this feels pretty good.

00:19:02.713 --> 00:19:05.263
I'm sitting here, you know, checking in with my body.

00:19:05.263 --> 00:19:06.644
What is my body telling me?

00:19:07.094 --> 00:19:09.973
Um, you know, those thoughts that are always running in my mind.

00:19:10.094 --> 00:19:10.663
Yes.

00:19:11.354 --> 00:19:22.423
Let, let me silence them for a minute and just focus on my toes, my feet, my ankles, my legs, my knees, my thighs, my, you know, middle section, abdomen, and just move up and then get up.

00:19:23.023 --> 00:19:23.263
Um.

00:19:24.364 --> 00:19:25.594
It feels really good.

00:19:26.044 --> 00:19:29.134
The other thing I tell people is we look at ourselves all day.

00:19:29.134 --> 00:19:31.084
You know, we are in the bathroom, we're getting ready.

00:19:31.084 --> 00:19:32.104
We're brushing our teeth.

00:19:32.104 --> 00:19:34.263
We're washing, yeah, doing our hair, whatever.

00:19:35.104 --> 00:19:38.134
Take a moment to look at that beautiful face of yours.

00:19:38.644 --> 00:19:47.884
Looking back at you in the mirror and look into those eyes, those eyes will tell you a lot about how you're feeling in that moment in time.

00:19:47.939 --> 00:19:48.358
Mm-hmm.

00:19:48.439 --> 00:19:52.953
And it's just the recognition that will give you so much power.

00:19:52.983 --> 00:19:57.394
You look back at those eyes and those eyes, if they're looking pretty sad, you know, something's going on.

00:19:57.459 --> 00:19:57.878
Mm-hmm.

00:19:58.509 --> 00:20:02.378
Just tell those eyes you love, I love you, I love whatever you're going through.

00:20:02.439 --> 00:20:04.088
We'll get through this together today.

00:20:04.298 --> 00:20:04.388
Mm-hmm.

00:20:04.628 --> 00:20:07.628
Or if you're happy and you're looking at those eyes, oh, I feel elated.

00:20:07.628 --> 00:20:08.949
I'm gonna go out and conquer the world.

00:20:08.949 --> 00:20:10.808
Maybe I'll start a new business, or whatever it might be.

00:20:11.439 --> 00:20:11.769
Right.

00:20:11.769 --> 00:20:19.778
Um, but it's these simple little things that we neglect that will allow us to check in with ourselves and over time.

00:20:19.878 --> 00:20:19.939
Yeah.

00:20:20.388 --> 00:20:27.828
The essence of that feels so yummy that that minute after you wake up and you do that body chat, well becomes two, becomes five.

00:20:27.828 --> 00:20:27.919
Mm-hmm.

00:20:27.919 --> 00:20:30.469
You can say, okay, I'm checking in with my body now.

00:20:30.469 --> 00:20:31.519
What do I wanna do today?

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:33.679
What's one positive thing I wanna do today?

00:20:33.828 --> 00:20:33.888
Yeah.

00:20:33.888 --> 00:20:35.209
And it just keeps going forward.

00:20:35.659 --> 00:20:37.818
That in the sense is the beginning.

00:20:38.148 --> 00:20:38.239
Mm-hmm.

00:20:38.239 --> 00:20:42.318
And when you learn to pay attention to the little subtleties within yourself.

00:20:42.564 --> 00:20:42.804
Yeah.

00:20:43.338 --> 00:20:43.459
Yeah.

00:20:43.459 --> 00:20:46.009
It opens up, I don't wanna say Pandora's box.

00:20:46.078 --> 00:20:46.739
It's what it does.

00:20:46.739 --> 00:20:55.528
It opens up a beautiful Pandora's box, lovely gifts that you can utilize to help you thrive as you ebb and flow down your path to bliss.

00:20:55.528 --> 00:20:58.709
And it just starts, it's, it doesn't have to be complex.

00:20:59.128 --> 00:20:59.189
Yeah.

00:20:59.189 --> 00:21:02.848
It can just start with just waking up and going to minute body check.

00:21:02.848 --> 00:21:06.388
And if you think I can don't have time to, I wake up, I just gotta get up.

00:21:06.749 --> 00:21:08.933
Well then you're not honoring yourself and Right.

00:21:08.933 --> 00:21:11.459
Setting yourself on that path to chaos.

00:21:11.459 --> 00:21:13.288
And eventually you will crash and burn.

00:21:13.699 --> 00:21:14.749
I don't care what you're doing.

00:21:15.229 --> 00:21:21.138
Homeschool mom, you know, mom, mom, stay at home mom or the CEO of a culture 500 company.

00:21:21.528 --> 00:21:23.088
You will crash and burn eventually.

00:21:23.118 --> 00:21:23.179
Yeah.

00:21:23.179 --> 00:21:24.979
It'll start to show up in many ways.

00:21:25.338 --> 00:21:25.729
Yeah.

00:21:25.969 --> 00:21:26.269
Yeah.

00:21:26.269 --> 00:21:26.358
And.

00:21:27.453 --> 00:21:38.253
Not that it's too late, but we are here to talk about what you can do so you don't have to go down a path of, oh my gosh, I have to climb back out now.

00:21:39.183 --> 00:21:40.294
Yeah, right.

00:21:40.653 --> 00:21:43.413
Let's, let's tune in.

00:21:44.463 --> 00:21:44.614
Yeah.

00:21:44.614 --> 00:21:52.324
Rochelle Marie is talking about tuning in and it doesn't have to be, carve out that hour at the gym.

00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:57.679
Make that, you know, half hour sometimes that's way too big.

00:21:57.679 --> 00:21:58.729
Just to start.

00:21:58.729 --> 00:22:03.169
So before you get outta bed right, just taking a walk outside.

00:22:03.169 --> 00:22:05.868
If you have an animal and have a dog, take a taking a walk.

00:22:05.874 --> 00:22:06.663
Yeah, dog.

00:22:07.638 --> 00:22:08.118
Okay.

00:22:08.419 --> 00:22:09.439
Don't have time for a walk.

00:22:09.439 --> 00:22:11.239
Just go sit outside for a minute.

00:22:11.388 --> 00:22:11.689
Yeah.

00:22:11.689 --> 00:22:17.659
Tap in the sun, the cold, the heat, the ground, the earth hug a tree, kissing, flower, whatever it is.

00:22:17.689 --> 00:22:17.808
Yeah.

00:22:18.588 --> 00:22:22.429
Just taking those moments of preciousness at a stoplight.

00:22:22.459 --> 00:22:24.108
Look at yourself in the rear of your mirror.

00:22:24.679 --> 00:22:25.804
Another way to check in.

00:22:26.078 --> 00:22:28.118
You know, simple little things like that.

00:22:28.118 --> 00:22:30.578
Instead of cussing at at person, I just cut you off.

00:22:30.669 --> 00:22:34.298
Look at yourself in the mirror and be like, okay, I'm full of fire right now.

00:22:34.298 --> 00:22:35.618
Let me calm the flames.

00:22:35.618 --> 00:22:35.679
Yeah.

00:22:35.679 --> 00:22:36.753
Let me calm the flames.

00:22:37.179 --> 00:22:39.848
Just simple little, simple little things.

00:22:39.969 --> 00:22:40.058
Mm-hmm.

00:22:40.239 --> 00:22:42.578
Um, have such a profound effect.

00:22:42.818 --> 00:22:42.999
Mm-hmm.

00:22:42.999 --> 00:22:43.068
I know.

00:22:43.068 --> 00:22:48.759
I remember back in the day when I first became a nurse, went into this, uh, it was a code.

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:49.929
We had a patient coming in.

00:22:49.989 --> 00:22:50.409
Yeah.

00:22:50.943 --> 00:22:51.784
Lights and sirens.

00:22:51.784 --> 00:22:53.344
So they're bumping on the chest as he is.

00:22:53.374 --> 00:22:54.784
They're rolling this person in.

00:22:54.838 --> 00:22:55.128
Yeah.

00:22:55.189 --> 00:22:56.973
And the physician, this is my very first code.

00:22:56.973 --> 00:23:00.574
He was like, you just take it one, one thing at a time.

00:23:01.054 --> 00:23:01.294
Yep.

00:23:01.743 --> 00:23:08.614
If you get caught up in the chaos of what's going on and all these people and all the moments, you'll be lost and you, you'll lose yourself.

00:23:08.943 --> 00:23:09.993
So just take it.

00:23:10.804 --> 00:23:17.344
One moment, one issue, one thing, one item at a time, process it, and then move on to the next.

00:23:17.523 --> 00:23:20.374
And at the end of the day, you'll look back and say, you know what?

00:23:20.374 --> 00:23:27.814
I had those fires I put out, but I did it with grace and ease that honored my soul and spiritual, spiritual wellbeing.

00:23:27.814 --> 00:23:30.028
And I feel really, really, really good.

00:23:30.028 --> 00:23:31.743
Really, it takes practice.

00:23:31.743 --> 00:23:36.064
Don't get me wrong, of course, it's not something that's gonna change overnight, but it takes practice.

00:23:36.064 --> 00:23:38.403
But the more you do it, the better it feels.

00:23:38.403 --> 00:23:38.703
And it's.

00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:40.769
Yeah, it's like eating apple pie.

00:23:41.189 --> 00:23:43.108
You have one slice That's really good.

00:23:43.108 --> 00:23:44.278
You want another one, right?

00:23:44.548 --> 00:23:44.638
Yeah.

00:23:44.638 --> 00:23:47.578
The more you it, the better it feels and the better it is for you.

00:23:48.479 --> 00:23:49.858
It's so interesting.

00:23:49.858 --> 00:23:51.838
As you're talking, I'm smiling.

00:23:52.229 --> 00:24:06.163
Um, for those who are seeing this on YouTube, if you're in the podcast land, I have a huge smile on my face because there's one thing I've always done, um, ever since I've been a parent and now grandparenting and I ask, how was your day?

00:24:07.114 --> 00:24:14.013
And invariably one of the grandchildren, oh, it was awful, blah, blah, blah.

00:24:14.314 --> 00:24:14.463
Right?

00:24:14.673 --> 00:24:18.394
And I'm smiling because I'm like, we do that, don't we?

00:24:18.394 --> 00:24:22.354
We, we have one tiny piece that didn't go well.

00:24:22.534 --> 00:24:27.753
It hits our heart center, and that's the thing we perseverate on, not looking at.

00:24:28.159 --> 00:24:37.578
All of the positives that have happened over the day, we sink ourselves into the depths of despair of that negative thing that happened.

00:24:37.818 --> 00:24:45.439
And so of course I converse and we flip the script and talk about what, what did happen that was good.

00:24:45.439 --> 00:24:47.239
Oh well this and this and this.

00:24:47.239 --> 00:24:50.449
And all of a sudden you hear all the positives that do happen.

00:24:50.449 --> 00:24:53.058
So even the way that we.

00:24:53.659 --> 00:25:14.598
Reflect on our day, making sure that we totally see the positives that have happened as well, and really centering ourselves in those because our mind tends to take us to all the negative Nelly, which is probably 0.0002 of our day percent, and we Right.

00:25:14.598 --> 00:25:16.939
We just eat that up and.

00:25:17.294 --> 00:25:21.193
It doesn't help us, and it doesn't help anybody in our sphere of influence.

00:25:21.193 --> 00:25:25.844
So yeah, it isn't, you mentioned something that I thought was really cool when my kids were growing up.

00:25:26.203 --> 00:25:26.443
Yeah.

00:25:26.443 --> 00:25:27.733
You asked, I'd pick'em up.

00:25:27.733 --> 00:25:29.534
Like, how was, how was, you know, how was your day?

00:25:29.624 --> 00:25:30.193
Good.

00:25:30.584 --> 00:25:30.733
Yeah.

00:25:31.814 --> 00:25:34.903
I never, ever, never, ever, I'm like, well, what?

00:25:34.903 --> 00:25:35.804
What does that mean?

00:25:36.074 --> 00:25:36.403
Yeah.

00:25:36.469 --> 00:25:44.298
You know, and as they got older, they understood, like, like they said, because good, you can have a horrible day and tell somebody it's good.

00:25:44.749 --> 00:25:45.048
Right?

00:25:45.439 --> 00:25:47.719
Well, what, what, what, what, you know, what happened?

00:25:48.078 --> 00:25:52.759
Um, I think starting with our children at a young age Yeah.

00:25:53.118 --> 00:26:03.483
Allows them the capability and the capacity to feel comfortable when they had that 1.00 thing that really set them off.

00:26:03.493 --> 00:26:03.844
Right?

00:26:04.114 --> 00:26:04.403
Yeah.

00:26:04.403 --> 00:26:04.763
And, um.

00:26:05.614 --> 00:26:09.423
I don't think that's done enough in today's society with our kids.

00:26:09.423 --> 00:26:21.453
That's why these kids have lots of issues and they struggle because we allow social media to be that parent when we should be digging down and saying, okay, you know, Sarah, what?

00:26:21.544 --> 00:26:22.413
You had a good day?

00:26:22.443 --> 00:26:22.864
Okay, what?

00:26:22.923 --> 00:26:23.374
What happened?

00:26:23.374 --> 00:26:23.794
That was good?

00:26:23.794 --> 00:26:25.653
Or what happened a day or.

00:26:26.493 --> 00:26:29.703
Finding out, um, whether the day really wasn't that good.

00:26:29.703 --> 00:26:29.794
Right?

00:26:29.913 --> 00:26:33.034
Everybody's, I'll ask a patient, how are you feeling?

00:26:33.034 --> 00:26:33.394
Good.

00:26:33.394 --> 00:26:34.384
Then why are you in here?

00:26:34.653 --> 00:26:34.953
Yeah.

00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:36.368
You're in emergency department, right?

00:26:36.548 --> 00:26:39.183
You know, if you're feeling good, why are you in the emergency department?

00:26:39.183 --> 00:26:39.993
You know what I mean?

00:26:39.993 --> 00:26:41.193
Or, yes.

00:26:41.193 --> 00:26:43.473
I think just opening up dialogue.

00:26:43.683 --> 00:26:47.163
If it's your kids, your spouse, your Yep.

00:26:47.433 --> 00:26:53.344
Siblings, friends, whatever, open up the, when they say, good, what, what, what, what does that mean?

00:26:53.554 --> 00:26:54.064
Yes.

00:26:54.648 --> 00:27:04.128
And you will, um, you will, you will experience a transformation taking place in that moment in time with that'cause that good doesn't necessarily mean good.

00:27:04.128 --> 00:27:07.249
Or it may be, you know, I closed this$5 million deal and Right.

00:27:07.969 --> 00:27:10.548
You know, so it, it, again, it starts with, um.

00:27:11.298 --> 00:27:12.259
Just checking in.

00:27:12.588 --> 00:27:12.679
Yeah.

00:27:12.679 --> 00:27:21.828
And then of course, you know, understanding the unique essence that we flow all are different and, and complimentary to each other, whether it's good, bad, or indifferent.

00:27:22.249 --> 00:27:29.269
But we all can learn from each other and, and help each other to survive and thrive just by doing those small little check-ins.

00:27:29.673 --> 00:27:30.663
Absolutely.

00:27:30.663 --> 00:27:46.354
And really I think a part, another part of that is listening to what they say and really feeding it back so they can really understand what it is they're saying instead of it just an answer so I can carry on, right?

00:27:46.413 --> 00:27:47.763
Yeah, yeah.

00:27:47.794 --> 00:27:53.163
Because the, the real answer is in listening to what they're saying, what they're not saying, right?

00:27:53.193 --> 00:27:53.943
Yes.

00:27:54.374 --> 00:27:55.453
Absolutely.

00:27:55.874 --> 00:27:57.673
You learn a lot watching the whole learn, right?

00:27:57.913 --> 00:27:59.594
The whole body picture.

00:27:59.653 --> 00:28:00.703
Absolutely.

00:28:00.733 --> 00:28:01.604
Absolutely.

00:28:01.634 --> 00:28:02.653
Yes, yes.

00:28:03.193 --> 00:28:05.084
So I have a question.

00:28:05.084 --> 00:28:22.574
When women are successful, let's say even on paper, but exhausted in their bodies, what's the cost that we're actually not even naming, and why do so many women wait until burnout forces them to actually listen?

00:28:23.763 --> 00:28:28.473
I think, um, the cost of, one of the cost of not listening is because you don't know how to listen.

00:28:28.473 --> 00:28:29.493
You're not paying attention.

00:28:29.943 --> 00:28:31.173
No one's ever taught.

00:28:31.263 --> 00:28:36.364
No one teaches little girls or little boys to listen to themselves, right?

00:28:36.394 --> 00:28:36.483
Mm-hmm.

00:28:36.483 --> 00:28:37.594
It's all external.

00:28:37.594 --> 00:28:45.693
We live in an externally gratifying world, and so the cost of not listening to yourself can be detrimental until the point.

00:28:46.324 --> 00:28:49.294
Where something shows up and then you have to pay attention.

00:28:49.564 --> 00:28:53.763
And even in those moments in time, people will still discount that, right?

00:28:53.769 --> 00:28:54.009
Yeah.

00:28:54.364 --> 00:28:54.513
Yeah.

00:28:54.513 --> 00:29:02.433
So what I say is, um, sit humble with yourself.

00:29:02.523 --> 00:29:02.614
Mm-hmm.

00:29:02.644 --> 00:29:03.814
We're not perfect.

00:29:04.054 --> 00:29:05.614
No one's perfect.

00:29:05.824 --> 00:29:07.443
We all go through things.

00:29:07.653 --> 00:29:07.983
Yeah.

00:29:08.558 --> 00:29:10.148
Don't be afraid to admit.

00:29:10.864 --> 00:29:17.763
To a best friend or a colleague, or, heck, if you don't wanna do that, like me, I'm kind of really private.

00:29:17.854 --> 00:29:17.943
Mm-hmm.

00:29:18.183 --> 00:29:19.713
But I know I need to get stuff out.

00:29:20.104 --> 00:29:31.144
Pull out a journal piece of paper and write out what you're feeling, what you're going through, what it is that's troubling, or what is good when you get it out of you.

00:29:31.473 --> 00:29:38.013
Particularly on paper, and you could always, always, if you don't wanna tell anybody, you could always write it out and you can burn it.

00:29:38.104 --> 00:29:42.423
Yeah, you can burn that in the paper afterwards and watch all of that go up in flames.

00:29:42.814 --> 00:29:44.134
It'll do two things for you.

00:29:44.193 --> 00:29:53.433
One, you get it out of you, so it's not internally stressing your systems out that you don't even recognize the pressure you're putting on your cardiovascular system, your reproductive system.

00:29:53.743 --> 00:29:56.713
Urinary tract, your respiratory system, your nervous system, right?

00:29:56.923 --> 00:29:57.044
Mm-hmm.

00:29:57.044 --> 00:29:58.513
All of those systems have been flowing.

00:29:58.513 --> 00:30:01.784
When one is out of balance it up, the other ones as well.

00:30:02.084 --> 00:30:03.913
So writing it out, getting it out of you.

00:30:04.034 --> 00:30:04.124
Mm-hmm.

00:30:04.153 --> 00:30:05.503
And then watching it burn.

00:30:05.773 --> 00:30:10.574
It's something very powerful about seeing all that stuff.

00:30:10.874 --> 00:30:11.023
Yep.

00:30:11.023 --> 00:30:12.523
You know, go up in flames.

00:30:12.554 --> 00:30:14.534
It's something very powerful about that.

00:30:14.923 --> 00:30:18.253
You know, you may not notice it right away, but over time you'll start saying.

00:30:19.459 --> 00:30:19.759
Yeah.

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:21.019
You know, I feel lighter.

00:30:21.409 --> 00:30:21.618
Yeah.

00:30:22.009 --> 00:30:30.618
I can't explain it, but I feel a little bit calmer or I got that stuff out and now and I got it out without telling anybody, so I'm not being judged.

00:30:30.679 --> 00:30:31.278
Right.

00:30:31.278 --> 00:30:32.118
Yes.

00:30:32.388 --> 00:30:34.638
Allows you to get things out so you're not being judged.

00:30:34.669 --> 00:30:37.098
'cause we all know we got friends that you can tell stuff to.

00:30:38.044 --> 00:30:40.023
Or family members, but they'll judge you.

00:30:40.054 --> 00:30:41.044
They may not say it.

00:30:41.163 --> 00:30:42.094
Look on their face.

00:30:42.423 --> 00:30:42.663
Yeah.

00:30:42.663 --> 00:30:46.503
Look in their eyes, that smirk on their mouth, you know, so mm-hmm.

00:30:46.773 --> 00:30:47.403
Get it out.

00:30:47.463 --> 00:30:48.693
I say write it out.

00:30:49.023 --> 00:30:49.114
Mm-hmm.

00:30:49.213 --> 00:30:51.064
And then burn it up and, um mm-hmm.

00:30:52.114 --> 00:30:54.003
And you'll feel so much better.

00:30:54.064 --> 00:30:54.423
Mm-hmm.

00:30:54.844 --> 00:30:56.013
And, um.

00:30:56.344 --> 00:31:01.894
You won't have to, how can I say, make yourselves vulnerable to the judgment of others.

00:31:02.163 --> 00:31:02.374
Right.

00:31:02.374 --> 00:31:06.453
And what this does is it calms your nervous system.

00:31:06.459 --> 00:31:06.739
Mm-hmm.

00:31:06.874 --> 00:31:12.243
Which will in turn talk to your cardiovascular system, which will bring that blood pressure and that heart rate down.

00:31:12.243 --> 00:31:12.334
Nice.

00:31:12.844 --> 00:31:24.064
Which in turn will talk to your urinary system because now you're, you're not pushing so much fluid through, you know, you'll have that respiratory system, your breath will become slower, deeper.

00:31:24.528 --> 00:31:30.709
More beneficial to your body, which again, will enliven your brain and your, again, your nervous system.

00:31:30.888 --> 00:31:33.048
So it's like this circular system that.

00:31:33.409 --> 00:31:35.449
Each system has an effect on each one.

00:31:35.449 --> 00:31:35.538
Right.

00:31:35.808 --> 00:31:46.429
And when we get the cast out of us, yeah, it helps all of those systems to help us to have a much better, as I always say, ebb and flow with our ourselves throughout our day.

00:31:46.729 --> 00:31:53.659
I mean, there's been times that I, I'm full of fire, so I've had that time in my mouth, has erupted on people.

00:31:55.159 --> 00:32:00.378
But, uh, of course over the years, you know, I've learned to just, just write it out.

00:32:00.439 --> 00:32:02.328
Um, yeah, because sometimes.

00:32:03.409 --> 00:32:09.798
What you see and how you interpret things is not any, it's not anyone else's reality, but your own.

00:32:10.068 --> 00:32:10.429
Sure.

00:32:10.429 --> 00:32:13.159
Sometimes I hate to say it, our reality could be a little skewed.

00:32:13.489 --> 00:32:13.638
Mm-hmm.

00:32:13.878 --> 00:32:18.798
But if you write it out and read it and then burn it up if you want to, or just, just have this journal.

00:32:18.798 --> 00:32:19.669
Just write it out.

00:32:19.669 --> 00:32:19.679
Yeah.

00:32:20.028 --> 00:32:20.148
Yeah.

00:32:20.148 --> 00:32:25.939
See that each day you progress, it gets better and better, and then you learn and understand more about you.

00:32:27.108 --> 00:32:27.138
Mm.

00:32:27.169 --> 00:32:29.058
Nobody teaches us about us.

00:32:29.209 --> 00:32:29.719
Yeah, right.

00:32:29.719 --> 00:32:30.409
Exactly.

00:32:30.409 --> 00:32:31.308
Exactly.

00:32:31.604 --> 00:32:31.933
Yeah.

00:32:32.443 --> 00:32:36.403
Again, why we have our show for you by you because of you.

00:32:36.463 --> 00:32:36.884
Right.

00:32:37.153 --> 00:32:41.294
So, love it.

00:32:41.683 --> 00:32:54.854
Ah, is there anything, as we're getting ready to close, is there anything that you would absolutely love to share with the audience that we haven't already tapped into?

00:32:55.094 --> 00:33:00.104
I know there's so much we can talk about, but is there one last little.

00:33:00.753 --> 00:33:13.894
Big nugget that you think, you know what, if you leave with this, you've given us so much already, very actionable steps that we can all implement today without any issue.

00:33:14.284 --> 00:33:17.403
Um, anything you'd love to share.

00:33:18.753 --> 00:33:19.144
Yeah.

00:33:19.144 --> 00:33:23.584
So I talk about Ayurveda for being like, for your health and wellbeing, right?

00:33:23.703 --> 00:33:25.834
But you can also use it in your business and your career.

00:33:26.223 --> 00:33:30.124
But here's something I wanna share with, with those listening and, and viewing us.

00:33:30.483 --> 00:33:34.219
You can go to my website and take what is called the dosha quiz.

00:33:35.788 --> 00:33:47.219
You can find out your unique essence of all that we've been talking about and understand a little bit more about you and how you're connected to the, the universal energy, so to speak.

00:33:47.249 --> 00:33:55.253
And then you can get some words of wisdom, tips, guidance, all kind of goodies that will help you to stay in ebb and flow of your digest.

00:33:55.763 --> 00:34:04.733
Your mental system, I mean, your nervous system, your just you, so you can feel just a lot better, um, as you travel down your path to bliss.

00:34:04.733 --> 00:34:07.163
So I would say go grab that.

00:34:07.163 --> 00:34:08.693
Yeah, grab that dosha quiz.

00:34:08.693 --> 00:34:10.164
It's free, it's on the website.

00:34:10.554 --> 00:34:18.833
Take it, find out a little bit more about yourself, and then begin incorporating the tools that you get from the, from the goodies that you receive into your life.

00:34:18.833 --> 00:34:21.233
And just, you know, it's like taking a.

00:34:21.918 --> 00:34:29.059
I, I wanna say a spoonful of sugar, but that's not really, that old movie comes up in my head.

00:34:29.059 --> 00:34:31.369
I can't even think of it now, but you know what I'm talking about.

00:34:31.398 --> 00:34:33.244
Mary Poppins, I think, isn't it?

00:34:33.353 --> 00:34:33.643
Yeah.

00:34:35.244 --> 00:34:35.403
Spoon.

00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:39.798
These kids today don't know about no Mary Poppins, but um Okay.

00:34:39.798 --> 00:34:41.329
A spoonful of Chave.

00:34:42.018 --> 00:34:42.528
There you go.

00:34:43.458 --> 00:34:46.248
Nice jam that we take in IVA for our immune system.

00:34:46.309 --> 00:34:49.128
Um, but, um, again, it.

00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.628
It will just help you to understand a lot more about ourselves.

00:34:52.659 --> 00:34:54.219
People don't teach us about ourselves.

00:34:54.219 --> 00:34:54.278
Yeah.

00:34:55.358 --> 00:34:55.748
They don't.

00:34:55.748 --> 00:34:57.039
We don't learn about ourselves.

00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:00.909
We learn about other stuff external to us, but we don't learn about ourselves.

00:35:00.914 --> 00:35:01.063
Yeah.

00:35:01.324 --> 00:35:09.699
And the more we can learn about ourselves, the better we can be in this vast universe that we're living to make the world a better place.

00:35:10.358 --> 00:35:10.989
Beautiful.

00:35:12.063 --> 00:35:21.963
Thank you so much, Rochelle Marie, for everything, your time, your energy, your brilliance that you've shared with us today.

00:35:22.534 --> 00:35:27.753
Um, we will have in the show notes how to access your website.

00:35:27.753 --> 00:35:37.744
It'll be right there so people can just jump right down to the show notes as they're listening and do the assessment and check out where they are and start.

00:35:37.998 --> 00:35:53.869
Implementing these strategies because when we tune into ourselves, everything will change because we will start taking, uh, control of whom we are and really understand who we are without.

00:35:54.438 --> 00:35:58.849
Yes, we have the external world and I really loved how you shared, we're all human.

00:35:59.329 --> 00:36:00.498
There isn't anything.

00:36:01.338 --> 00:36:03.378
Truth in terms of perfection.

00:36:03.378 --> 00:36:08.208
We all have the ups and downs, the ins and outs of sideways, the upside downs.

00:36:08.358 --> 00:36:09.199
That's life.

00:36:09.588 --> 00:36:19.998
How can we be true to ourselves using all of the strategies that you have available on your website and people can access you also through the website, I'm assuming?

00:36:19.998 --> 00:36:20.449
Yes.

00:36:20.929 --> 00:36:21.378
Yeah.

00:36:21.438 --> 00:36:21.679
Yes.

00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:29.298
Yeah, they can if they want no more and have a conversation with them, most definitely I'd be happy to help anyone'cause that's what I'm here to do.

00:36:29.304 --> 00:36:39.289
I'm a perfect, I'm for humanity, and that's why we've connected, because we know your message is so empowering for all of us.

00:36:39.289 --> 00:36:43.369
So make sure you do this for you by you, and because of you.

00:36:44.164 --> 00:36:50.344
And before we close, I do really want to share something very gently with everyone.

00:36:51.003 --> 00:36:52.083
I'm currently stewarding.

00:36:53.253 --> 00:37:09.994
An early formation of a live in-person experience called Ignite the Inner Uprising, and it's going to be created for women in midlife who feel that quiet pull towards something more truthful, more embodied, more their own.

00:37:10.699 --> 00:37:14.449
It isn't an event I'm rushing or loudly promoting.

00:37:14.449 --> 00:37:23.059
It's being built really slowly with deep care and respect for women in midlife whom it's meant to serve.

00:37:23.059 --> 00:37:25.489
So if your body leaned in it.

00:37:25.489 --> 00:37:33.224
At any point during today's conversation or if something really resonated beyond our words, just know this.

00:37:33.614 --> 00:37:37.034
There will be a place to come and gather.

00:37:37.123 --> 00:37:42.224
And for now, simply stay connected, follow, share.

00:37:42.284 --> 00:37:46.094
Give us your reviews so that more women can find us.

00:37:46.153 --> 00:37:54.313
And when the timing is right, you will hear more about Ignite the inner uprising.

00:37:54.873 --> 00:37:58.414
Thank you again, Rochelle Marie, for being with us today.

00:37:58.414 --> 00:38:01.594
Such a privilege to share this time with you.

00:38:02.313 --> 00:38:03.784
Thank you so much for having me, Denise.

00:38:03.784 --> 00:38:04.833
I appreciate you.

00:38:06.034 --> 00:38:07.713
Have a great day everyone.

00:38:07.713 --> 00:38:07.773
I.
