00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:23.159
this term around the podcasting community called
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.719
indie podcasters. I'm an independent podcast
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.819

00:01:31.819 --> 00:01:35.180
big corporate company, well, if I run out of
00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:38.939
money and everything else, Crazy Fitness Guy
00:01:38.939 --> 00:01:42.799

show. She was awarded Life Coach of the Year,

Empowered Woman of the Year by International
00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:54.099
Associates. Association of Top Professionals
00:02:54.099 --> 00:02:58.180
USA Today rated her in the top five entrepreneurs
00:02:58.180 --> 00:03:02.560
to watch in 2024. Wow. I wish I might put me
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.819
on the list like that. I think I got on the list
00:03:06.819 --> 00:03:13.039
of either the blacklist of my college or... I
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:17.680
got listed on the blacklist of the top one billion
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.860
dollar companies in the world. Just to annoy
00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:23.780
them. Either or. I don't know. And there's what
00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:25.800
I said about my college is that every time when
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.520
I email another professor that I had like recent
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.919
years, etc. No one ever gets back to me. I'm
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:35.500
like literally going to go tell the president's
00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:37.639
office like, why do you even pay for email when
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.800
no one uses it? At least in my business, I use
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.439
my email like boom, boom, boom, boom, but no
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:48.219
one ever goes back to me. I'm not sure why. And
00:03:48.219 --> 00:03:52.479
I'm using my school email. Go figure. So I must
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.659
be on the don't listen to Jimmy Claire list or
00:03:55.659 --> 00:03:59.699
whatever. Well, anyway, that's my spiel for today.
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:03.039
But let's welcome Rebecca Whitman now. Hey, Rebecca.
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:08.000
Hi, Jimmy. It's great to be here. Thanks for
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.909
coming. Before we get started, can you tell us
00:04:10.909 --> 00:04:13.250
a little bit who you are, what you do, how you
00:04:13.250 --> 00:04:17.709
got started, and why you got started? Sure. I
00:04:17.709 --> 00:04:23.410
am the Magnetic Abundance Mentor. I empower women
00:04:23.410 --> 00:04:26.990
and a few good men to go from burned out and
00:04:26.990 --> 00:04:29.810
overwhelmed to balanced, beautiful, and abundant.
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.899
And I thank you for that beautiful intro. I never
00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:37.399
thought I would be ranked top five entrepreneurs
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:41.660
to watch by USA Today because I moved to Los
00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:45.750
Angeles 23 years ago to be an actress. And I
00:04:45.750 --> 00:04:49.009
had small parts on really big shows like Friends,
00:04:49.110 --> 00:04:53.790
CSI, and 24. And I never did catch that big break
00:04:53.790 --> 00:04:56.610
as an actress. And I found myself working in
00:04:56.610 --> 00:04:59.069
children's acting schools, which I really loved
00:04:59.069 --> 00:05:01.730
because I don't have kids. And while the kids
00:05:01.730 --> 00:05:04.350
were off at school, I was studying with great
00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:07.670
teachers like Michael Beckwith, Esther Hicks,
00:05:07.709 --> 00:05:10.110
Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson.
00:05:10.170 --> 00:05:12.730
And I started applying the law of attraction
00:05:12.730 --> 00:05:16.519
to my life. I got healthy and fit. I love that
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:21.259
this is a fitness show. And I got to a six -figure
00:05:21.259 --> 00:05:23.699
income level at the kids' acting school. But
00:05:23.699 --> 00:05:26.959
I had a really bad picker, as they say, in my
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.420
love life. picking relationships that were really
00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:33.660
toxic and really painful. And I actually decided
00:05:33.660 --> 00:05:37.019
to marry one of these people to try to change
00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:40.680
him and it did not work. So as my marriage was
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.699
unraveling, my dad was slowly dying back in Ohio
00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:46.699
where I'm from. And in one of the last conversations
00:05:46.699 --> 00:05:49.920
with my dad, he asked me to write a book. A few
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.600
months later, my dad died, my marriage was dissolved,
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.180
and I was sitting across the desk from my financial
00:05:55.180 --> 00:05:57.860
planner. And he said, even though you lost your
00:05:57.860 --> 00:05:59.439
dad, adding your marriage, you're having your
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.120
best financial year ever. You're actually a millionaire.
00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:05.420
And I think you should teach women and a few
00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:08.540
good men how you did it. So I wrote a book. It's
00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:11.139
called How to Make a Six -Figure Income Working
00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:14.639
Part -Time. And in the book, I divide life into
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.480
seven key areas. I call them the seven pillars
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.379
of abundance. And when you have these seven key
00:06:20.379 --> 00:06:23.949
areas of your life, At a level 10, you can be,
00:06:24.009 --> 00:06:27.110
do, or have anything you want. So now I'm happily
00:06:27.110 --> 00:06:30.810
married to my soulmate and I love coaching women.
00:06:30.970 --> 00:06:33.310
I coach them one -on -one. I do group coaching
00:06:33.310 --> 00:06:36.290
and I'm leading my second international retreat
00:06:36.290 --> 00:06:44.019
in Belize in a month. Jeez. Now, I just want
00:06:44.019 --> 00:06:49.199
to clarify one second. Because I like how you
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.399
said that you coach women and a few good men.
00:06:52.779 --> 00:06:57.459
And it just occurred to me, because it's a movie,
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.660
a few good men. I was like, am I going to get
00:07:00.660 --> 00:07:06.339
some kind of lawsuit about this now, too? I don't
00:07:06.339 --> 00:07:10.579
think so. I'm kidding. I don't think they own
00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:14.500
the phrase. I hope not, because then it'd be
00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:17.139
like Taylor Swift, who's like trademarking every
00:07:17.139 --> 00:07:20.500
single word of the dictionary. Exactly. I didn't
00:07:20.500 --> 00:07:22.740
realize she was doing that. Well, it feels like
00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:26.860
it. Anyway, I mean, I read this article once
00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:31.779
somewhere that she's like trademarking a lot
00:07:31.779 --> 00:07:36.319
of... It seems like a lot of just like one or
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.519
two words that I had to clip to here and there,
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.680
be part of her music and everything. And I was
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.779
like, how about you just trademark the whole
00:07:44.779 --> 00:07:48.399
dictionary, why don't you? I was like, I'll be
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:52.000
kind of screwed then. That's the world anyway.
00:07:52.220 --> 00:07:55.220
She's like, you know, ruling the world. Why not?
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:02.259
Just buy the dictionary. Yeah. So my first question
00:08:02.259 --> 00:08:08.639
for you is, what made you want to become, like
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.939
go into acting? Well, it's funny. When I was
00:08:12.939 --> 00:08:16.699
three, my sister asked me what I wanted to be
00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:20.339
when I grew up. And I said, Ginger on Gilligan's
00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:23.980
Island. And that was a really old show. And Ginger
00:08:23.980 --> 00:08:27.459
was the movie star. And I just, it was a childhood
00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:30.509
dream of mine. I love like. entertaining people
00:08:30.509 --> 00:08:34.690
and being creative and i thought it would be
00:08:34.690 --> 00:08:41.190
so much fun to move to la and be an actress that's
00:08:41.190 --> 00:08:46.110
awesome like you know i just wanted to if somebody
00:08:46.110 --> 00:08:50.389
were to watch uh friends and the small parts
00:08:50.389 --> 00:08:53.190
you were in what what episode do you remember
00:08:53.190 --> 00:08:56.860
which episode you were in or Yeah, I was in the
00:08:56.860 --> 00:09:00.899
episode where Jennifer Aniston goes to the set
00:09:00.899 --> 00:09:04.679
of Joey's Soap Opera. And she gets asked on a
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.580
date by the star of Joey's soap opera. And when
00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:10.519
she tells him that she's pregnant, he walks away
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:14.240
from her. And I was playing the script supervisor
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.159
on the set of Joey's soap opera. So it was a
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.059
featured extra role, but you could definitely
00:09:19.059 --> 00:09:23.220
see me. And it was really fun to be on the set
00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:26.330
of Friends because it's a live show. I got to
00:09:26.330 --> 00:09:29.330
meet Jennifer Aniston and Matthew LeBlanc, and
00:09:29.330 --> 00:09:31.309
they were just so nice, and it was just such
00:09:31.309 --> 00:09:34.330
an amazing experience. I had no idea, but when
00:09:34.330 --> 00:09:36.730
I was on the show, it was already a hit, but
00:09:36.730 --> 00:09:40.129
I didn't realize it would be forever iconic like
00:09:40.129 --> 00:09:45.009
it is. The reason why I had to ask, because I've
00:09:45.009 --> 00:09:47.649
only saw bits and pieces here and there when
00:09:47.649 --> 00:09:52.529
I was on TV, and then I saw a couple episodes
00:09:52.529 --> 00:09:56.590
when I was on a plane ride to Ireland. But it
00:09:56.590 --> 00:09:59.690
was, like, not the very beginning shows. It was,
00:09:59.730 --> 00:10:04.169
like, season, I think, seven, I believe. I think
00:10:04.169 --> 00:10:07.710
it was season 10, episode 13, but I don't know
00:10:07.710 --> 00:10:11.669
for sure. But go on. Yeah. I had to fill it with
00:10:11.669 --> 00:10:16.529
ass because, like, now that I met someone who
00:10:16.529 --> 00:10:18.509
was on there, like, now I want to go see it now.
00:10:19.309 --> 00:10:22.669
Aw. Yeah, I was actually I went to Ireland this
00:10:22.669 --> 00:10:26.309
year for the first time. I went to Dublin and
00:10:26.309 --> 00:10:29.470
it was amazing. When did you go to Ireland? I
00:10:29.470 --> 00:10:33.429
went there last October and I was like, wow,
00:10:33.710 --> 00:10:38.289
it was funny. You know, at the family crest and
00:10:38.289 --> 00:10:43.049
whatnot, I can find everyone in my family except
00:10:43.049 --> 00:10:47.340
for Claire. even in Kathy Claire. And I was like,
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.100
am I in a posture? And I was like, I don't like
00:10:50.100 --> 00:10:54.559
this. Is that where your family's from? Parts
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.399
of my dad's families are from there, but there
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:05.000
was no family crust. But that's a big city or
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.120
county, Claire, right? Yeah. Yeah, so awesome.
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:14.289
I was like, what gives? We got a whole county,
00:11:14.389 --> 00:11:16.490
but we don't even get a crest. What the heck?
00:11:16.809 --> 00:11:19.990
Just have AI create a family crest for you. I
00:11:19.990 --> 00:11:26.470
should. I could sell it. Exactly. So my next
00:11:26.470 --> 00:11:30.730
question for you is, how did you come up with
00:11:30.730 --> 00:11:34.570
your podcast? And what is your podcast about?
00:11:35.029 --> 00:11:41.419
Well, my podcast was such an unexpected. gift.
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.779
I went to this personal growth seminar and she
00:11:45.779 --> 00:11:48.919
gave us a challenge at lunch. She said, ask five
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.299
people who really intimidate you to be on your
00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:55.159
podcast. So of course I took the challenge on,
00:11:55.259 --> 00:11:58.360
I asked the five people, one of them said yes.
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.799
And I was like, oh, well, this is someone I really
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.299
respect. I better figure out how to have a podcast
00:12:04.299 --> 00:12:08.529
since she agreed to be on it. And I figured it
00:12:08.529 --> 00:12:11.750
out. And ever since then, I've been recording
00:12:11.750 --> 00:12:15.570
a podcast consistently once a week. I just use
00:12:15.570 --> 00:12:19.590
Zoom, nothing fancy. And it's called the Balance
00:12:19.590 --> 00:12:22.769
Beautiful and Abundant Show. And I picked that
00:12:22.769 --> 00:12:25.210
name because that's what my coaching practice
00:12:25.210 --> 00:12:27.830
is all about, is helping people go from burned
00:12:27.830 --> 00:12:30.429
out to balance beautiful and abundant. That's
00:12:30.429 --> 00:12:34.870
awesome because, you know, there's, I've been
00:12:34.870 --> 00:12:39.730
trying to, manage I'll just say I've been down
00:12:39.730 --> 00:12:44.330
the burnout route one too many times and I've
00:12:44.330 --> 00:12:48.230
been trying to take a step back and figure out
00:12:48.230 --> 00:12:52.429
ways to manage to not get to the burnout point
00:12:52.429 --> 00:12:58.289
and so I've been like doing more yoga I've been
00:12:58.289 --> 00:13:02.330
doing taking better care of my mental health
00:13:02.330 --> 00:13:06.379
and I think one of the things that's been i've
00:13:06.379 --> 00:13:09.039
been feeling the corona from and i've been getting
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.860
a lot of headaches from is that in my new in
00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:17.419
my new house i've been my room gets all hot and
00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:22.600
stuffy and so all the stuffiness is My head gets
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:28.860
all my clod and everything else. And I wake up
00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:31.460
with pounding headaches at times. And I was like,
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.559
I'm going to go smash the AC unit in my house.
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.379
And it's like, it does not work whatsoever. To
00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:42.779
be fair, the house was built in the 1970s. Well,
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.600
I think that's an important thing to fix, right?
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.139
if you're too hot and you're not getting good
00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:51.799
rest and that's causing burnout that's that's
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:57.659
a pretty easy fix yeah it should be easy however
00:13:57.659 --> 00:14:06.600
the Where the vents are, they're six by 14 inches.
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:11.799
So I can't just get a replacement thing for the
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.080
vent. It's like, why can't it just be that easy?
00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:20.000
And these companies on Amazon, it's like six
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.919
by 12. It's like, would it kill you to make two
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.860
more inches? It's like, charge more money for
00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:29.029
two more inches. Come on. That's ridiculous.
00:14:29.730 --> 00:14:34.090
There's only one company out of all the third
00:14:34.090 --> 00:14:37.610
-party sellers on Amazon that has 6x14 and it
00:14:37.610 --> 00:14:41.330
has the worst reviews. And it's like, wow, there's
00:14:41.330 --> 00:14:46.070
even somebody worse than Comcast? Oh, my God.
00:14:46.529 --> 00:14:50.649
I was like, I didn't know that's a thing. I noticed
00:14:50.649 --> 00:14:53.389
you're wearing an Indiana University hat. What
00:14:53.389 --> 00:14:57.059
is the significance of that? My brother went
00:14:57.059 --> 00:15:00.100
to Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:04.460
My dad and my sister went there, so that's great.
00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:11.639
It's funny. I'm wearing my favorite basketball
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:19.039
team, the Duke Blue Devils. I root for both the
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:21.039
teams, but when they play against each other,
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:27.009
I always have to pick Duke. Nice. Pretty much
00:15:27.009 --> 00:15:31.009
since the beginning, when I was born, I watched
00:15:31.009 --> 00:15:36.149
Duke every single day when my dad was watching
00:15:36.149 --> 00:15:39.009
the Duke game, and I just got into watching Duke
00:15:39.009 --> 00:15:44.139
ever since. I think I've only missed a few Duke
00:15:44.139 --> 00:15:46.740
games because of other commitments, but then
00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:51.559
they were also, like, now on some streaming platforms
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.659
that I don't have. So it's, like, fine. But,
00:15:55.779 --> 00:15:57.840
you know, if I can watch at least pretty much
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.960
all the season, maybe the whole season except
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:07.720
for maybe three games, fine. But it's very hard
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.539
sometimes because now my dad likes to watch Indiana.
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.490
It's like... they're losing team it's hard to
00:16:13.490 --> 00:16:22.230
watch them because i'm from cincinnati and the
00:16:22.230 --> 00:16:24.970
bangles have had a lot of years of uh losing
00:16:24.970 --> 00:16:27.669
i'm it's been exciting though the last couple
00:16:27.669 --> 00:16:30.629
years watching them make their comeback yeah
00:16:30.629 --> 00:16:33.370
i know that feeling because i'm a new york giants
00:16:33.370 --> 00:16:37.190
fan and watching them every single season i'm
00:16:37.190 --> 00:16:39.889
like it just gets worse and worse every single
00:16:39.889 --> 00:16:43.710
season yeah i was like can we get eli manning
00:16:43.710 --> 00:16:46.730
back because he can because right now our quarterback
00:16:46.730 --> 00:16:51.169
is milking the organization for 164 million it's
00:16:51.169 --> 00:16:54.710
a lot Yeah, I had a funny joke the other day.
00:16:55.230 --> 00:16:57.990
I said to one of my friends at Karate, I said
00:16:57.990 --> 00:16:59.990
to them, I was like, you know, I should pitch
00:16:59.990 --> 00:17:02.549
to the owners of the Giants. It's like, here,
00:17:02.649 --> 00:17:05.869
hire me for my motivational speaking experience
00:17:05.869 --> 00:17:08.930
and I can be your motivational speaking and keynote
00:17:08.930 --> 00:17:11.549
speaker for the Giants. And it's like, hire me
00:17:11.549 --> 00:17:14.829
for one year for one million. I'll be cheaper
00:17:14.829 --> 00:17:19.329
than your whole organization. There you go. My
00:17:19.329 --> 00:17:21.230
friend said to me, he's like, yeah, well, you
00:17:21.230 --> 00:17:25.589
know, they're not going to hire you. You have
00:17:25.589 --> 00:17:29.130
to make a compelling offer for them. Why are
00:17:29.130 --> 00:17:32.170
you being a million dollars and worth a million
00:17:32.170 --> 00:17:34.210
dollars? He's like, well, the coal bike sure
00:17:34.210 --> 00:17:39.369
is heck wide for $164 million. I was like, at
00:17:39.369 --> 00:17:42.529
least I would show up and actually do my job
00:17:42.529 --> 00:17:47.190
very well. I'm like, he is, but whatever. He's
00:17:47.190 --> 00:17:50.549
been there for six years. He has no excuse. Yeah,
00:17:50.589 --> 00:17:57.609
exactly. So my next question for you is, where
00:17:57.609 --> 00:18:00.970
do you see your podcast and business in the next
00:18:00.970 --> 00:18:05.130
couple of years? Well, for my podcast, I would
00:18:05.130 --> 00:18:09.130
love to get some brand sponsors. I have not gotten
00:18:09.130 --> 00:18:11.529
to that level yet. That would be the next level
00:18:11.529 --> 00:18:16.339
to monetize it. And as far as my coaching, I
00:18:16.339 --> 00:18:19.900
would love to have less one -on -one clients
00:18:19.900 --> 00:18:23.099
and more group clients so I have more free time.
00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:28.420
And I would love to have more international retreats.
00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:32.299
So far, I've had one in Medellin, Colombia. My
00:18:32.299 --> 00:18:35.900
next one up and coming is in Belize. And in fact,
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.019
anybody who listens to this podcast can get $200
00:18:39.019 --> 00:18:41.680
off my next retreat in Belize. It's going to
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.460
be amazing. It's a luxury wellness retreat right
00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:48.240
on the beach. So more retreats. And I'd also
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.640
like to get into keynote speeches. That's awesome.
00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:56.740
You know. I wanted to jump back to one of the
00:18:56.740 --> 00:18:59.700
things you said earlier that I've been in some
00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:04.220
toxic friendships. Yeah. One of them happened.
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:09.400
They weren't toxic at first. Yeah. Because we
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:14.039
talked like pretty much every single day after
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:18.940
we went to school with each other. But then after
00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:22.920
a while, let's just say. we kind of grew apart
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:30.519
and let's just say there was some kind of misinterpretations
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:36.220
and was not enough clarifying and or reassurance
00:19:36.220 --> 00:19:45.640
and it kind of just felt and lack of apology
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:50.019
etc i'm kind of trying to say everything broad
00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:55.339
just so that and if the person listens then not
00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:59.019
knowing it's them so i'm just trying to keep
00:19:59.019 --> 00:20:04.599
it as broad as possible if that makes any sense
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.380
yeah well uh do you know if your friend listens
00:20:08.380 --> 00:20:10.640
to your podcast i wish more of my friends listened
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:14.140
to mine it's funny like My closest friends and
00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:16.619
family members don't listen to my podcast, but
00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:19.559
strangers like are obsessed with it. I just think
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.420
that's kind of how it goes sometimes. Well, let's
00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:27.259
just say this person is no longer part of my
00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:32.660
life because of the toxic, the person's sort
00:20:32.660 --> 00:20:37.099
of purpose. I mean, I'm not like saying that
00:20:37.099 --> 00:20:42.400
I have friends for certain purposes, but. The
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:46.599
person helped me get through a tough time in
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:50.680
my life when I needed it the most. But that person
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:56.160
is really, like, just distance. And I'm distance,
00:20:56.420 --> 00:21:01.099
too. We kind of fell on the wayside, so to speak.
00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:08.720
But I'm kind of glad that we kind of fell out
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:13.819
of touch because... I'll just say it wasn't really
00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:19.740
a healthy friendship, so to speak. It was more,
00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:25.119
she was not, the person was not very positive
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:28.599
to be around. And I know I have my moments, but
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:32.319
it was just like, this sucks, this sucks, this
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.900
sucks. And it's like, I'm done. Yeah, I mean,
00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:39.559
part of being on the path of personal growth
00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:43.359
is knowing. When a relationship no longer serves
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:46.779
you and then having the confidence and the courage
00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:49.819
to walk away, sometimes a toxic relationship
00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:53.160
can be like an old pair of jeans that they're
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:55.779
comfortable, even though they're out of fashion
00:21:55.779 --> 00:21:59.339
and, you know, worn out and, you know, stained,
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:02.480
but you gotta, you gotta be willing to walk away.
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.039
And I believe that people are in our lives for
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:08.299
a reason or a season or a lifetime. And it's
00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:12.710
important to. To know when to walk away. And
00:22:12.710 --> 00:22:16.730
like I said, I admit that I have my days of maybe
00:22:16.730 --> 00:22:19.970
pure negativity, but then there's other days
00:22:19.970 --> 00:22:22.910
where I'm like, I feel on top of the world and
00:22:22.910 --> 00:22:29.970
everything's great. But let's just say that person
00:22:29.970 --> 00:22:33.650
wasn't right for me anymore. And I was like,
00:22:33.730 --> 00:22:38.029
this is the new me. And that is... The old me,
00:22:38.309 --> 00:22:41.630
well, I mean, part of me is old me. And I was
00:22:41.630 --> 00:22:43.490
like, I don't want to hold on to part of the
00:22:43.490 --> 00:22:47.930
old me anymore. Yeah, it's really hard, you know,
00:22:47.970 --> 00:22:50.670
whether I've been on both sides. You know, I've
00:22:50.670 --> 00:22:52.630
had friends walk away from me. I've walked away
00:22:52.630 --> 00:22:59.109
from friends. To lose a relationship. I always
00:22:59.109 --> 00:23:03.930
said that the people that stay around you more
00:23:03.930 --> 00:23:06.650
are the ones who are meant to be around you.
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:12.480
And they won't try to, they won't judge you,
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:16.700
treat you weird or treat you like you're weird.
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:21.480
They won't treat you differently than they accept
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:25.160
you for who you are. And whether it's you have
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:31.000
good days or bad days, a mix of both. And that's
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.779
where true friends come in. Yeah. And the other
00:23:34.779 --> 00:23:38.289
person was not a true friend. Yeah, well, you
00:23:38.289 --> 00:23:40.950
just got to wish them well and move on, right?
00:23:41.430 --> 00:23:45.569
Detach with love. Yeah. I mean, I didn't hold
00:23:45.569 --> 00:23:48.769
it against them, but I was like, it's time for
00:23:48.769 --> 00:23:52.289
me to move on from my mental health. And I was
00:23:52.289 --> 00:23:57.410
like, again? And they're like, Chuck? I mean,
00:23:57.430 --> 00:24:00.150
it wasn't that simple. I wish I could say it
00:24:00.150 --> 00:24:02.150
was that simple. I'd be lying if I said it was
00:24:02.150 --> 00:24:06.089
that simple. Yes. I feel like one of those info
00:24:06.089 --> 00:24:08.509
commercials that's like, it's that simple, a
00:24:08.509 --> 00:24:12.990
caveman can do it. I don't think relationships
00:24:12.990 --> 00:24:17.049
are ever simple. So I see on your screen autism
00:24:17.049 --> 00:24:21.230
parenting. Are you a parent? No, that was featured
00:24:21.230 --> 00:24:26.710
in Autism Parenting Magazine. I was sharing my...
00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:30.640
I was sharing a piece written by me because they
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:35.579
take anything from any advocate or whatnot. So
00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:39.160
I was sharing a perspective and they gave me
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:43.619
like two and a half pages in their magazine.
00:24:44.140 --> 00:24:49.000
I got a digital copy of it. Great. I was like,
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:53.400
sweet. And I was actually kind of surprised that
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:57.079
they gave me two and a half pages because Let's
00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:00.420
just say, you know how editors could just edit
00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:04.019
stuff down or reword stuff to make it shorter
00:25:04.019 --> 00:25:06.940
to fit their stuff? They didn't do any of that.
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.819
I tried to get as slow as possible. You must
00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:16.180
be a good writer. I would say I'm always learning
00:25:16.180 --> 00:25:19.759
on how to improve my writing. I wouldn't say
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:23.380
I'm like James Patterson or any of those people.
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:28.180
Not even close. Though I kind of think James
00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:30.880
Pattinson is kind of like a robot. I don't think
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:34.400
he ever sleeps. I'm not familiar with him. What
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:38.099
did he write? He writes a lot of books called
00:25:38.099 --> 00:25:49.779
Alex Cross. And he has one called NYPD Red. He
00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:54.009
also... What else did he write? Are they like
00:25:54.009 --> 00:25:58.150
psychological thriller type novels? They're kind
00:25:58.150 --> 00:26:06.490
of like thrillers, mysteries, fiction. I read
00:26:06.490 --> 00:26:11.890
a lot of fiction. I also started reading a lot
00:26:11.890 --> 00:26:16.230
of nonfiction. But I tend to lean more on the
00:26:16.230 --> 00:26:19.349
fiction side because that's how I got into reading
00:26:19.349 --> 00:26:25.579
a lot. I always find that I can learn many things
00:26:25.579 --> 00:26:28.019
from fictional books as well and not just self
00:26:28.019 --> 00:26:32.720
-help books. Like one of the books I've been
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:36.759
currently reading, I can't say the name at the
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:39.759
moment because the episode's not out yet. And
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:43.980
if I do say it, it will give out that episode
00:26:43.980 --> 00:26:47.859
that's coming up. And I'm not going to say when.
00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:54.880
But basically... The episode, basically the book
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:58.380
that I'm reading, I've learned a lot of similar
00:26:58.380 --> 00:27:02.440
things from what the characters experience in
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:07.579
the book. And I was like, wow, that sounds exactly
00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:10.420
like me. Oh, this sounds exactly like me. Oh,
00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:13.039
this is how I feel some days. I was like, wow,
00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:16.839
I really like this book. And it's like, these
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:20.170
four group main characters that I... I feel like
00:27:20.170 --> 00:27:24.789
I have them all part of me in my head. That's
00:27:24.789 --> 00:27:35.769
great. So my next question for you is, when you
00:27:35.769 --> 00:27:38.509
coach people, what kind of people come to you
00:27:38.509 --> 00:27:44.640
for need for your coaching advice? like main
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.700
coaching clients are high achieving women who
00:27:47.700 --> 00:27:50.900
are struggling with overwhelm and burnout and
00:27:50.900 --> 00:27:56.299
they are not able to set boundaries they there's
00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:58.799
seven key areas of life and they usually have
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:01.980
one or two areas out of the level 10 and the
00:28:01.980 --> 00:28:05.119
other ones are being neglected like maybe they're
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:07.160
making a lot of money but they haven't had a
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:09.359
date for 10 years and they're really lonely or
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:13.690
maybe they're in great physical shape but they
00:28:13.690 --> 00:28:17.950
are emotionally erect, like they're really anxious
00:28:17.950 --> 00:28:21.789
or depressed. So the goal is to have all seven
00:28:21.789 --> 00:28:25.009
areas of life in alignment. And the seven pillars
00:28:25.009 --> 00:28:28.690
are spirituality, fitness, emotions, romance,
00:28:28.869 --> 00:28:32.630
mental, social, and financial. And I help women
00:28:32.630 --> 00:28:35.009
get all seven areas of their life to a level
00:28:35.009 --> 00:28:42.710
10. I was curious. In your opinion, what causes
00:28:42.710 --> 00:28:48.470
burnout the most? What causes burnout is taking
00:28:48.470 --> 00:28:51.829
on too many things and neglecting self -care
00:28:51.829 --> 00:28:59.009
and not prioritizing rest. Women and also men
00:28:59.009 --> 00:29:02.869
in this day and age are moving so fast and there's
00:29:02.869 --> 00:29:05.809
a lot of hustle culture happening where people
00:29:05.809 --> 00:29:09.559
are just so busy. And they're running from the
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:12.859
next to the next to the next event or call. And
00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:16.799
they don't slow down enough to do the things
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:18.720
that I'm sure you guys talk about on this show,
00:29:18.859 --> 00:29:23.539
you know, hydrate, supplements, exercise, getting
00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:28.079
a good night's sleep, meditation. And self -care
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:31.940
is not selfish. A lot of people think that it's
00:29:31.940 --> 00:29:34.920
selfish to say, oh, I can't go to that. event
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:36.859
tonight that you're inviting me to because I'm
00:29:36.859 --> 00:29:38.740
going to do a workout or I'm going to do yoga
00:29:38.740 --> 00:29:42.819
or I need some great sleep tonight. And I like
00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:45.380
to tell my clients, don't do anything out of
00:29:45.380 --> 00:29:47.839
fear, obligation, or guilt. Because if you show
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:50.079
up and you don't really want to be there, then
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:52.960
you're not going to be of service to that person
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.140
anyway. And our energy is kind of like a cup
00:29:57.140 --> 00:29:59.839
of water or tea. Like this is a big cup. It's
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.359
a Stanley cup. If I keep filling it up, then
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:06.740
I'll be able to give from the overflow. And if
00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:09.599
I keep pouring out of it and it gets depleted,
00:30:09.660 --> 00:30:12.400
then eventually you get burned out, you get sick,
00:30:12.460 --> 00:30:19.140
and you could even die. You know, just a couple
00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:24.079
of weeks ago, I was in this annoying funk. And
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:27.619
I probably annoy my parents over and over and
00:30:27.619 --> 00:30:32.059
over again because... I know I was in the funk,
00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:34.720
but I just couldn't get myself out of the funk.
00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:39.720
And I know why I was in the funk, but pretty
00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:44.539
much I just kept... I kind of felt like I hit
00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:48.119
rock bottom a little bit, where I didn't feel
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.539
like doing anything whatsoever. I was like, I
00:30:52.539 --> 00:30:56.119
have to do this, this, this, and the list goes
00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:01.960
on and on. And I was like... i can't do it i
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:03.559
was like i just couldn't do it and i couldn't
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.359
show up that day and i literally just sat on
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:09.660
the floor with my dogs and they just just started
00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:12.160
petting them it's like i don't know what's going
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:16.259
on my dog behind me that's oh we're going the
00:31:16.259 --> 00:31:18.740
wrong way that's my that's my baby right there
00:31:18.740 --> 00:31:24.420
indigo nice dog yeah that's sometimes like what
00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:28.599
you need to do is just Have a couple days or
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:31.279
at least one day, like a mental health day, where
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:34.559
you just relax and walk and hang out with your
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:38.339
dog. And your body or your mind was probably
00:31:38.339 --> 00:31:41.700
telling you to stop or you're going to burn out.
00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:47.420
You just needed to stop and recalibrate. Well,
00:31:47.420 --> 00:31:53.299
I really appreciate those people. Friends of
00:31:53.299 --> 00:31:59.220
mine, not the person I told you I got away from
00:31:59.220 --> 00:32:05.460
over the years, but people that I started connecting
00:32:05.460 --> 00:32:11.920
with and my other friends and new friends reached
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:14.859
out to me because they noticed that something
00:32:14.859 --> 00:32:22.150
was just bothering me. Even in karate, like,
00:32:22.210 --> 00:32:25.650
all I kept on was, I kept on still being in the
00:32:25.650 --> 00:32:28.509
funk. Like, I was just quiet. I was not myself.
00:32:29.809 --> 00:32:31.970
When I was punching and kicking, all I kept on,
00:32:32.009 --> 00:32:34.769
like, thinking was, like, what's going on with
00:32:34.769 --> 00:32:37.150
me mentally? And it was, like, my head was everywhere
00:32:37.150 --> 00:32:39.970
but focusing. It was, like, oh, this is great.
00:32:40.269 --> 00:32:41.869
It's, like, if this was a real -life fight, I'd
00:32:41.869 --> 00:32:46.589
be knocked out in one second. I was, like, you
00:32:46.589 --> 00:32:49.170
can't multitask with this, Jimmy. And it's, like,
00:32:49.170 --> 00:32:51.549
when my brain's, like, try me and it's like no
00:32:51.549 --> 00:32:54.730
brain this is not a good place to do so it's
00:32:54.730 --> 00:32:59.029
like moron brain well i'm glad you came out of
00:32:59.029 --> 00:33:02.349
it and didn't get hurt in karate well the only
00:33:02.349 --> 00:33:06.170
way that got the few things that helped me got
00:33:06.170 --> 00:33:09.470
out of the burnout was my friends reaching out
00:33:09.470 --> 00:33:13.990
to me and then also one of my my mentor who's
00:33:13.990 --> 00:33:19.269
been uh helping me land a ted talk hosted a webinar
00:33:19.269 --> 00:33:22.849
that I attended to and I had a missed karate
00:33:22.849 --> 00:33:26.470
class that night but I was like if this can help
00:33:26.470 --> 00:33:30.410
me get out of my funk so be it I was like I was
00:33:30.410 --> 00:33:33.369
holding the truth flag and I was like I'm here
00:33:33.369 --> 00:33:36.809
I'm down and I was like I'm coming and then so
00:33:36.809 --> 00:33:39.490
I went to his webinar I mean not out of pity
00:33:39.490 --> 00:33:42.369
or anything but I was like I really wanted to
00:33:42.369 --> 00:33:46.289
get out of this funk because even Even when I
00:33:46.289 --> 00:33:48.210
was saying it in my head over and over again,
00:33:48.329 --> 00:33:51.730
it was getting annoying to me. I was even annoying
00:33:51.730 --> 00:33:58.869
myself after a while. Our own sad story. So my
00:33:58.869 --> 00:34:04.430
next question for you is, how do you get, in
00:34:04.430 --> 00:34:06.430
your opinion, how do you get yourself out of
00:34:06.430 --> 00:34:10.789
your thoughts or burnout when you get to that
00:34:10.789 --> 00:34:15.110
place? Well, when I feel myself getting burned
00:34:15.110 --> 00:34:19.809
out, I need to reel it back in. Like today, you
00:34:19.809 --> 00:34:23.309
know, this is my fourth podcast interview today.
00:34:24.050 --> 00:34:27.269
I've had, I have two different shows. I have
00:34:27.269 --> 00:34:29.110
the balance, beautiful and abundant show. And
00:34:29.110 --> 00:34:30.989
I launched a new show called everything, but
00:34:30.989 --> 00:34:34.190
the guy where I interview successful single women.
00:34:34.269 --> 00:34:37.329
And I've been on two shows and I'm like coaching
00:34:37.329 --> 00:34:40.949
people doing all this stuff. And, uh, I feel
00:34:40.949 --> 00:34:45.099
like. I'm done. Like after this interview, I'm
00:34:45.099 --> 00:34:47.619
not going to go out. I'm not going to talk to
00:34:47.619 --> 00:34:50.079
people. I'm just going to like make some healthy
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:52.559
food, watch some TV and go to bed early because
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:57.639
I feel myself getting short, being irritated
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:02.099
with people, feeling tired. I'm fighting a cold.
00:35:02.699 --> 00:35:06.519
So when you feel that, you don't want to just
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:09.079
like drink an energy drink and keep pushing it.
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:12.570
That's when you really like. want to rest and
00:35:12.570 --> 00:35:17.389
reel it back in. And when I feel like I'm about
00:35:17.389 --> 00:35:21.550
to burn out like I do today, I ask myself, you
00:35:21.550 --> 00:35:24.269
know, what do I want to experience? So I want
00:35:24.269 --> 00:35:27.730
to experience being in a good mood, having energy,
00:35:27.929 --> 00:35:32.949
being excited again. How do I feel right now?
00:35:32.969 --> 00:35:37.130
Right now, I'm a little bit irritated, tired,
00:35:37.610 --> 00:35:41.250
cranky, not at my best energy level. And what
00:35:41.250 --> 00:35:45.150
action is needed to get what I want while I need
00:35:45.150 --> 00:35:48.489
to just not do anything tonight and just rest?
00:35:49.010 --> 00:35:53.949
I've never been there, done that. I remember,
00:35:54.210 --> 00:35:58.550
I think last year, I remember I had this, probably
00:35:58.550 --> 00:36:03.309
about like 20 interviews in one week. I was like,
00:36:03.429 --> 00:36:06.469
knit yourself, spread this out a little bit more.
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.539
Yeah, it's a lot. 20 interviews in a week is
00:36:10.539 --> 00:36:13.360
a lot. And this was not even me interviewing
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:16.420
people. This was me going on other people's shows
00:36:16.420 --> 00:36:19.179
and it was like, okay, this was not the smartest
00:36:19.179 --> 00:36:22.059
idea I came up with. Well, that's just as much
00:36:22.059 --> 00:36:25.159
energy as interviewing people because when you're
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:28.219
a guest on somebody's show, you want to bring
00:36:28.219 --> 00:36:34.380
the heat. Trust me. Definitely, I know that feeling.
00:36:35.500 --> 00:36:38.039
I was pretty much one down during that week and
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:40.659
I was like, are we done yet? And I looked at
00:36:40.659 --> 00:36:43.000
my calendar and it was like, not my Google account
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:47.280
that was telling me, nope. And I was like, thanks
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:49.239
Google, is this your way to give me the finger?
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:51.539
And it was like, you did this to yourself, Jimmy.
00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:57.300
Yeah, that's true. I deserve that. Exactly. It's
00:36:57.300 --> 00:37:00.920
like when I got my first pair of hiking boots
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.940
this past weekend. I thought I would be a size
00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:11.760
11 because there's some shoes I'm a size 11 wide.
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:18.260
And then my current shoe size that I currently
00:37:18.260 --> 00:37:22.380
wear every single day, I'm a size 10 wide. So
00:37:22.380 --> 00:37:25.019
I was like, maybe I'm 11. I don't know because
00:37:25.019 --> 00:37:29.500
the size 10 didn't fit me. But it turned out
00:37:29.500 --> 00:37:34.380
that I was a size 10 and a half. in a hiking
00:37:34.380 --> 00:37:43.719
booth. And even though I really hate shopping,
00:37:43.940 --> 00:37:50.079
and it was my fault because I was a little bit
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:52.280
impatient in the store because even though there's
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:56.139
a lot of associates in the store helping people
00:37:56.139 --> 00:38:00.260
pick out stuff and helping find their shoes off.
00:38:02.619 --> 00:38:05.440
I was just feeling very crowded because the store,
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:08.260
like everything is just like tight, even though
00:38:08.260 --> 00:38:12.739
it's like very, very big place. I was just like,
00:38:12.780 --> 00:38:15.260
I kind of was like hyperventilating kind of a
00:38:15.260 --> 00:38:18.099
little bit. It's like, wow, there's so many choices.
00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:20.980
There's so many people around. And I was like,
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:22.960
I'm going to come back during the week. So I
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:27.440
bought the shoes and I wore them around for just
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:32.650
a day. And it's like, these are too. And it's
00:38:32.650 --> 00:38:35.489
like, if I bring this to my next trip, and it's
00:38:35.489 --> 00:38:38.010
like, this is not going to end very well. And
00:38:38.010 --> 00:38:41.110
so I brought them back, exchanged them. And it's
00:38:41.110 --> 00:38:42.889
like, I should have just done that the first
00:38:42.889 --> 00:38:45.630
time around. But it's like, I deserve that too.
00:38:46.429 --> 00:38:50.409
I was like, my impatient brain. Yeah, sometimes
00:38:50.409 --> 00:38:55.210
you got to slow down to speed up. And to be honest,
00:38:55.369 --> 00:39:03.320
also, it was... Let's just say it was my fault
00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:06.920
for being impatient with this because everyone
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:09.059
was being helped by other people. And it's like,
00:39:09.139 --> 00:39:13.679
Jimmy, be patient. Jimmy, be patient. And it's
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:16.860
funny. I can handle large crowds, but I think
00:39:16.860 --> 00:39:19.900
because all the racks and all the merchandise
00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:23.199
were just so close and everything, I just felt
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:25.960
like I was just kind of trapped in some kind
00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:30.980
of... prison cell and I'm like what the hell
00:39:30.980 --> 00:39:34.079
it's like everywhere I go I bump into a rack
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:36.699
and it's like can I get a little walking space
00:39:36.699 --> 00:39:41.820
here yeah totally there's not much to maneuver
00:39:41.820 --> 00:39:45.559
if I cut through I'm bumping into stuff it's
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:48.219
like I don't like it's a nice store and nice
00:39:48.219 --> 00:39:51.340
merchandise but I'm not I don't like walking
00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:54.719
into all this stuff it's not my cup of tea here
00:39:55.050 --> 00:39:58.550
And I hate shopping anyway. That's why it's easier
00:39:58.550 --> 00:40:03.889
to shop online, right? Yeah. So my last few questions
00:40:03.889 --> 00:40:07.630
for you is, what can people do when they feel
00:40:07.630 --> 00:40:11.610
like they're reaching that burnout point? And
00:40:11.610 --> 00:40:13.969
what do you think would be helpful for them?
00:40:14.329 --> 00:40:18.369
Yeah, I would say to do my three keys of radiant
00:40:18.369 --> 00:40:21.829
health, which are H &M, not the discount store,
00:40:22.030 --> 00:40:24.869
but... Hydration, make sure you're getting plenty
00:40:24.869 --> 00:40:28.489
of water. Nutrition, make sure you're taking
00:40:28.489 --> 00:40:32.210
your supplements and eating what I call low inflammation
00:40:32.210 --> 00:40:36.150
diet, which is for me, I know there's lots of
00:40:36.150 --> 00:40:39.889
controversy, but this is what works for me. No
00:40:39.889 --> 00:40:45.010
wheat, no meat, no dairy, and no sugar. So it's
00:40:45.010 --> 00:40:46.849
like, what do you eat? Well, I'm a pescatarian.
00:40:49.500 --> 00:40:52.059
Whatever your diet plan is that works for you
00:40:52.059 --> 00:40:54.539
to stick to it and to take supplements. And I'm
00:40:54.539 --> 00:40:58.239
a huge believer of liquid collagen. And then
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:03.940
the M is for movement, move, walk. And the other
00:41:03.940 --> 00:41:07.960
M squared is for meditation. And I'm a huge fan
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:12.199
of guided meditation apps. I love Insight Timer.
00:41:12.219 --> 00:41:15.599
There's a lot of free YouTube guided meditations
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:19.079
where you can just sit still. quiet your brain
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:24.440
and relax. And then the final thing is just to
00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:27.860
rest, get sleep, like cancel things that are
00:41:27.860 --> 00:41:30.579
on your calendar. My husband is feeling burned
00:41:30.579 --> 00:41:33.420
out and he said, I just canceled everything on
00:41:33.420 --> 00:41:36.400
my calendar for tomorrow. And I'm just going
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:39.760
to like, just have a very mellow day. It's okay
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:43.820
to cancel things and reschedule when you're feeling
00:41:43.820 --> 00:41:49.059
burned out. That's it. I like that you said that.
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:54.280
I was a little bit nervous when I had to reschedule
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:58.900
for this upcoming trip. And I was like, I wonder
00:41:58.900 --> 00:42:00.440
what people are going to think of me. It's like,
00:42:00.579 --> 00:42:05.750
you were just on a vacation in July. Well, that
00:42:05.750 --> 00:42:08.650
was an actual vacation. This, I'm going to be
00:42:08.650 --> 00:42:11.690
in school and on the trip at the same time. So
00:42:11.690 --> 00:42:13.849
there's probably not going to be much relaxing
00:42:13.849 --> 00:42:23.449
whatsoever. The trip in July was actually online,
00:42:23.789 --> 00:42:27.570
relaxed, do anything I wanted to do, like watch
00:42:27.570 --> 00:42:31.630
TV, watch movies. This trip, I'm just going to...
00:42:32.750 --> 00:42:38.329
travel for fun with my brother and escape a little
00:42:38.329 --> 00:42:43.449
bit just to see a new place I've never been to.
00:42:43.849 --> 00:42:47.449
And it's a once in a lifetime trip. I can't say
00:42:47.449 --> 00:42:50.829
what it is until after the show because, you
00:42:50.829 --> 00:42:59.889
know, how things get published on podcasts. My
00:42:59.889 --> 00:43:03.489
last two questions for you is who's your favorite
00:43:03.489 --> 00:43:06.289
podcaster and why? And feel free not to say me.
00:43:06.650 --> 00:43:11.329
Oh, you're so cute. I would say my favorite podcaster
00:43:11.329 --> 00:43:19.170
is Ed Milet because he's so vulnerable, but also
00:43:19.170 --> 00:43:23.110
motivational. He really bonds with his guests.
00:43:23.230 --> 00:43:27.010
He asks great questions. And I always walk away.
00:43:28.269 --> 00:43:32.829
Just motivated. And I also love the Smart List
00:43:32.829 --> 00:43:35.510
podcast because there are three entertainers
00:43:35.510 --> 00:43:39.889
that are just funny. And I love the Skinny Confidential
00:43:39.889 --> 00:43:42.030
because there's lots of great health and wellness
00:43:42.030 --> 00:43:48.409
tips. And that's besides my podcast, right? Yes,
00:43:48.409 --> 00:43:52.170
of course yours is number one. Thank you. I'm
00:43:52.170 --> 00:43:55.050
kidding. I just always like to ask my guests.
00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:59.039
who they like to listen to because sometimes
00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:03.039
i i like to find more podcasts to listen to uh
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:05.900
see what other people like and listen to them
00:44:05.900 --> 00:44:08.400
what podcasts do you like to listen to what are
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:11.659
your top three uh i would say i like to listen
00:44:11.659 --> 00:44:14.340
to lou's house the school of greatness podcast
00:44:14.340 --> 00:44:19.639
yeah he's good uh i would say i also like to
00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:24.059
listen to I listen to some entertainment ones,
00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:27.340
one based off of one of my TV shows I watch.
00:44:28.820 --> 00:44:36.920
Then I also listen to some marketing podcasts
00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:42.400
and speaking podcasts. I subscribe to like over
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:47.139
100 plus podcasts. I don't listen to all 100
00:44:47.139 --> 00:44:50.110
of them, but... If an episode comes out that
00:44:50.110 --> 00:44:52.769
I'm interested in, like a certain topic or a
00:44:52.769 --> 00:44:56.969
certain guest on the show, the only one that
00:44:56.969 --> 00:45:02.190
I've really listened pretty much closely to is
00:45:02.190 --> 00:45:08.230
the one based on the TV show that I watch. And
00:45:08.230 --> 00:45:12.369
so I would listen to that maybe once a week,
00:45:12.409 --> 00:45:17.780
twice a week, a couple times a week. listen to
00:45:17.780 --> 00:45:23.239
that religiously but other stuff it's like some
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:27.380
things may apply to me right now and some things
00:45:27.380 --> 00:45:31.679
can wait until later to learn right it doesn't
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:34.400
apply to me at all so it is like if i subscribe
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:39.829
to two shows let's just say then i'm like oh,
00:45:40.010 --> 00:45:41.929
they're not publishing anything that's really
00:45:41.929 --> 00:45:45.690
for me, so what else can I listen to? And so
00:45:45.690 --> 00:45:49.230
I kind of like to have a library fall because
00:45:49.230 --> 00:45:52.369
even though I don't listen to all 100 in a day,
00:45:52.449 --> 00:45:55.449
because there's no way, because some of them
00:45:55.449 --> 00:45:59.110
can be an hour or two, two hours, and it's like,
00:45:59.230 --> 00:46:02.090
yeah, we all have 24 hours, but I'm not staying
00:46:02.090 --> 00:46:07.400
up for 24 hours. Yeah, forget that. Yeah. I was
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:13.679
like, I'm not a robot. Not at all. And my last
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:15.840
question for you is, where can people follow
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:19.760
you, find you, and where can people... You said
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:23.760
you're... Did you say you have a book too? Yeah,
00:46:23.780 --> 00:46:27.260
you can find my book on Amazon. It's called How

visit crazyfitnessguy .com to see what we are
00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:27.960
up to in between episodes. In the meantime, stay
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:34.360
healthy, stay safe, and stay motivated. Hydroflask
00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:37.619
is the best water bottle, in my opinion, because
00:48:37.619 --> 00:48:40.880
it keeps my water nice and cold and refreshing
00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:43.719
throughout the day. And yes, I do drink a lot
00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:46.539
of water throughout the day, so even though it
00:48:46.539 --> 00:48:50.880
stays colder for longer, I still like having
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:56.199
a reusable water bottle like Hydroflask. because
00:48:56.199 --> 00:49:02.219
it just sits on my desk, and it just sits on
00:49:02.219 --> 00:49:04.519
my desk and reminds me, hey, you've got to drink
00:49:04.519 --> 00:49:09.280
water. And Hydro Flask, it keeps it cold longer,
00:49:09.420 --> 00:49:12.820
which makes me want to drink more water throughout
00:49:12.820 --> 00:49:16.239
the day, because, you know, there's nothing worse
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:20.980
than drinking warm water. Go to hydroflask .com.
00:49:21.739 --> 00:49:25.300
And use the link in the show notes. And yes,
00:49:25.380 --> 00:49:29.380

00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:34.139
