WEBVTT

00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:04.729
Hey, cupply Fit fam, Welcome back to another episode.

00:00:04.729 --> 00:00:08.964
Today's going to be a little bit about rapid fire questions.

00:00:08.964 --> 00:00:11.489
They're going to be fun, engaging.

00:00:11.489 --> 00:00:15.445
It's all going to be around health, marriage and mindsets.

00:00:15.445 --> 00:00:17.192
So we're very excited.

00:00:17.192 --> 00:00:27.963
But before we get started, if you're watching us on YouTube, please like and subscribe, and if you are hearing us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, please leave us a review.

00:00:27.963 --> 00:00:31.332
All right, let's get to it.

00:00:31.332 --> 00:00:39.210
Here's question number one If wellness were a zodiac sign, which one would it be, and why?

00:00:39.890 --> 00:00:46.402
I'm going to already have to say Taurus, because I know most about the Taurus, because I'm a Taurus myself yes in wellness.

00:00:46.402 --> 00:00:47.244
I would say now.

00:00:47.304 --> 00:01:15.581
Now I've got to connect the dots okay so I feel like wellness can be something that can be a little bullheaded or, like you know, grabbing by the bull by the horns in some ways, okay, but the more that you're like regimented and disciplined, right, wellness kind of falls in line, or it fits you more, if you like, essentially have like the habits and those types of things which I feel like that's something that at least me as a tourist has, you know, yeah, so that's something that comes to mind for sure of like, okay, you know, uh, that would be my one.

00:01:15.721 --> 00:01:17.766
Okay, I like, and I knew you were gonna say that.

00:01:17.766 --> 00:01:24.870
So I decided to do just like a little bit of research, because we don't really know the zodiac signs other than our signs.

00:01:24.870 --> 00:01:37.507
So what I saw was virgo was the one that they said is kind of the wellness sign of the zodiac, and they said that it's their natural healers.

00:01:37.507 --> 00:01:46.191
They're about function, wholeness and self-improvement this is the virgos this is the virgos that's a's Kiki Palmer, beyonce.

00:01:46.191 --> 00:01:47.352
A couple of Virgos.

00:01:48.224 --> 00:01:48.948
So the Beehive?

00:01:48.948 --> 00:01:49.915
Let us know in the comments.

00:01:49.995 --> 00:01:50.739
The Beehive come through.

00:01:51.061 --> 00:01:52.527
Let us know if you agree, if you concur.

00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:54.808
Come through, come through All right.

00:01:54.808 --> 00:01:59.490
Number two what is the most extra thing you've done in the name of self-care?

00:02:01.941 --> 00:02:09.443
So here's the thing this really isn't self-care.

00:02:09.443 --> 00:02:11.330
But shopping and going out and like buying sneakers was, like to me, a self-care ritual.

00:02:11.330 --> 00:02:12.795
Like you know what I'm gonna treat myself.

00:02:12.795 --> 00:02:21.203
So this is it wasn't healthy, but going out and buying an excessive amount of pair of the same shoe at the outlet, I remember grabbing like way too many.

00:02:21.203 --> 00:02:23.086
So that would that would be my one for sure.

00:02:23.566 --> 00:02:30.195
Okay, I would say for women we do something that's called an everything shower.

00:02:30.195 --> 00:02:34.210
I'm sure men are probably like what are you talking about?

00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:47.504
That's that day where you're in the shower, you're really in the bathroom for hours and it's you're whitening your teeth, you're shaving, you're washing your hair, you're doing deep conditioning treatments, treatments.

00:02:47.504 --> 00:02:53.027
You're throwing masks on, you're putting all of the skincare uh, you're lotioning up.

00:02:53.027 --> 00:02:55.254
It's the whole like exfoliating.

00:02:55.254 --> 00:02:58.105
If you do laser hair removal at home, you're doing that.

00:02:58.105 --> 00:03:00.115
I mean, it's a whole waxy, it's a whole thing.

00:03:00.115 --> 00:03:02.561
It's an everything shower.

00:03:02.561 --> 00:03:04.622
And the ladies who know they know.

00:03:05.122 --> 00:03:05.924
And the fellas know.

00:03:05.924 --> 00:03:09.866
You know, for all the fellas that are out here, like me, I was a three-in-one brother before we met.

00:03:10.168 --> 00:03:10.848
You right.

00:03:10.848 --> 00:03:15.192
Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, all in one.

00:03:15.412 --> 00:03:16.932
I don't get it All in one.

00:03:16.932 --> 00:03:19.314
We're ready to roll All.

00:03:19.314 --> 00:03:20.657
I need one bottle.

00:03:20.657 --> 00:03:25.183
But now that I know and I have some better products, you've really opened.

00:03:25.183 --> 00:03:27.872
You've opened my mind and my world to a lot of other things.

00:03:27.973 --> 00:03:29.235
Yes, I mean Skincare.

00:03:29.235 --> 00:03:33.330
You do you have about a five to six step skincare routine?

00:03:33.460 --> 00:03:35.044
And if it didn't work, I wouldn't do it.

00:03:35.806 --> 00:03:36.068
Right.

00:03:36.288 --> 00:03:38.360
That's the truth, Because sometimes I'm like I want to.

00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:45.526
You know, come on, Somebody right now is a little bit ashy because they chose not to put any lotion on.

00:03:45.526 --> 00:03:50.110
And you have to make that choice, sometimes Like, am I going to oil up or am I going to be dry today?

00:03:50.110 --> 00:03:51.932
And the question is always.

00:03:51.932 --> 00:03:53.854
The answer is always oil up.

00:03:53.854 --> 00:03:55.096
You got to make sure that you're locked in.

00:03:55.475 --> 00:03:58.820
Got to get the ankles, got to Got to get the fingers.

00:03:58.841 --> 00:04:04.145
There's nothing more egregious than an open-toed sandal with a pair of ashy toes in between it.

00:04:04.605 --> 00:04:05.467
Oh, yikes.

00:04:05.467 --> 00:04:10.450
All right, you have to eat one healthy meal for the rest of your life.

00:04:10.450 --> 00:04:11.673
What would it be?

00:04:12.372 --> 00:04:13.234
This is an easy one.

00:04:13.234 --> 00:04:15.116
I'm eating what I'm going to eat tonight for dinner.

00:04:16.076 --> 00:04:16.437
Oh, okay.

00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:20.711
That's a good one Grilled chicken salad, the shredded lettuce.

00:04:20.711 --> 00:04:29.505
We got to have some cranberries in there, we got to have, ideally, all of the fixing, so we need some tortilla strips.

00:04:29.505 --> 00:04:35.372
If you want to throw a little bit of corn or a little bit of black beans in there, we can Dressing.

00:04:35.372 --> 00:04:39.363
I mean again, don't judge me y'all A little barbecue ranch.

00:04:40.146 --> 00:04:43.607
Don't judge me, you really like a barbecue salad.

00:04:43.627 --> 00:04:45.752
A little egg in there, like a barbecue chicken salad Boiled egg.

00:04:46.882 --> 00:04:48.538
No, you haven't even been on the eggs recently.

00:04:48.620 --> 00:04:50.923
You got to throw the boiled egg in there In the salad.

00:04:50.923 --> 00:04:52.567
Every time we're out it's a game changer.

00:04:52.567 --> 00:04:55.822
Like a Cobb salad, yes, and they charge like $2 for the egg.

00:04:55.822 --> 00:04:56.502
I love a Cobb salad.

00:04:56.502 --> 00:05:01.187
They're like oh, you want to add egg, $ Let me go in the back and cook it myself.

00:05:01.206 --> 00:05:01.466
What?

00:05:01.466 --> 00:05:02.548
Let me make it myself.

00:05:03.288 --> 00:05:05.850
And then you got to tip the driver once, five or six.

00:05:05.850 --> 00:05:08.834
You're like wait, when was it $40 for a salad I can make at the house?

00:05:08.834 --> 00:05:11.255
So I would make that salad that we have almost every day.

00:05:11.255 --> 00:05:11.976
I can make it every day.

00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:12.963
Okay so.

00:05:12.963 --> 00:05:15.540
I am going to agree with you because I'm going to have two.

00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:18.564
So barbecue chicken salad 100%.

00:05:18.564 --> 00:05:26.673
When I worked in the food industry, I had that every single day for lunch, but I need extra barbecue you used to be a little bit on your apron sometimes.

00:05:26.673 --> 00:05:28.375
A little bit, a whole lot of it.

00:05:28.375 --> 00:05:34.528
What it's barbecue, it's ranch, it's country gravy, listen.

00:05:34.608 --> 00:05:35.048
Hey now.

00:05:35.189 --> 00:05:36.682
I used to come back selling like a restaurant.

00:05:36.822 --> 00:05:37.764
Who liked the country gravy.

00:05:37.764 --> 00:05:39.730
Let us know if you rock with the country gravy.

00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:40.822
The country gravy.

00:05:40.822 --> 00:05:49.502
Second is going to simply be a rice bowl, because you can switch it up breakfast, lunch or like what kind of rice?

00:05:49.541 --> 00:05:54.182
I'm saying the rice, but I feel like if you're switching it up, it's not the same meal it is.

00:05:54.182 --> 00:05:59.851
It's the same base so I'm saying which rice bowl, though, just so the people they might want to know what's your go-to bowl every day.

00:05:59.872 --> 00:06:01.901
Well, I, wouldn't have the breakfast bowl every day that I make at home.

00:06:01.901 --> 00:06:02.865
That's fair, that's that's fair.

00:06:02.944 --> 00:06:03.807
I would, I could.

00:06:04.468 --> 00:06:05.071
I know you could.

00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:06.023
Breakfast, lunch or dinner.

00:06:06.023 --> 00:06:06.706
I could eat breakfast.

00:06:07.206 --> 00:06:18.074
Yes, I would probably do more of like a probably a vegetarian type of bowl Black beans, corn.

00:06:18.074 --> 00:06:21.269
So really take the barbecue chicken salad and just put that into a bowl.

00:06:21.269 --> 00:06:27.363
I think that'd be the best for me, but I like the barbecue chicken salad.

00:06:27.384 --> 00:06:28.346
That's a good one, we're on the same page.

00:06:28.367 --> 00:06:44.298
I like that all we need is two forks amen, and if you are listening to this and you're with your partner or you are, you know, with your group of girls or guys as we go through, we want you to answer these yeah, let us know in the comments what y'all feeling too, as we go.

00:06:44.250 --> 00:06:45.177
Okay, so want you to answer these.

00:06:45.127 --> 00:06:46.529
Yeah, let us know in the comments what y'all feeling too, as we go.

00:06:46.529 --> 00:06:51.216
Okay, so what's a wellness trend you secretly love?

00:06:51.456 --> 00:06:53.519
I have mine, I have mine.

00:06:53.519 --> 00:07:01.752
Okay, a wellness trend that I secretly love is the bone broth, and I love it.

00:07:01.752 --> 00:07:04.201
It is some people don't know, some people aren't hip.

00:07:04.201 --> 00:07:16.747
If you're not drinking the bone broth and again it's a powder you add water, got to add a little bit of seasoning to it, but it's like 20 grams of protein or more and it's literally it's a major key.

00:07:16.747 --> 00:07:25.894
So, but most people like either haven't tried it, but people that you bring it up to that know are like it's gospel, okay that you bring it up to that.

00:07:25.913 --> 00:07:27.355
Know are like it's gospel, okay.

00:07:27.375 --> 00:07:35.228
Okay, because I brought it up to a few people and they looked, and they looked at me like if you know, you know, and they were like I know a guy like I know a guy, like a farmer that I go to, that gives me my phone.

00:07:35.228 --> 00:07:38.826
I was like I was like oh, you're on another look, he really shocked me.

00:07:38.826 --> 00:07:41.336
Make it at home too, he's in idaho too, he's like I went.

00:07:41.721 --> 00:07:44.266
I went over to my neighbor and yeah, it's not that hard to make at home.

00:07:44.266 --> 00:07:47.454
Actually you can, if you you know, experiment a little bit.

00:07:47.454 --> 00:07:49.738
So love the bone broth.

00:07:49.738 --> 00:07:52.105
We both have the bone broth we started with the beef.

00:07:52.105 --> 00:07:56.783
That was the best one for us, and then we transitioned to chicken, but I still like the beef more.

00:07:56.944 --> 00:08:07.232
I think same from Dr Amy Myers, though shout out to Dr Amy Myers yeah, it makes that bone broth yes, very good, and that one's a powdered form as opposed to a liquid form true so I love that.

00:08:07.232 --> 00:08:09.153
I would say a wellness trend.

00:08:09.153 --> 00:08:14.603
This is for the girlies who know it's all about the girl dinner.

00:08:14.603 --> 00:08:16.028
I'm here for it.

00:08:16.028 --> 00:08:16.850
I love it.

00:08:16.850 --> 00:08:17.973
I'm here for it.

00:08:17.973 --> 00:08:20.339
I want the randomness of a girl dinner.

00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:21.642
I love it.

00:08:21.642 --> 00:08:22.103
I think it's.

00:08:22.103 --> 00:08:23.045
It's just.

00:08:23.225 --> 00:08:27.661
It hits the spot on another level so for the people out there, what is it?

00:08:27.661 --> 00:08:28.923
What's a girl dinner?

00:08:29.524 --> 00:08:36.004
it's literally a smorgasbord of just all the things that you're kind of wanting at that moment.

00:08:36.004 --> 00:08:44.451
So you might have a little bit of like cheese and crackers, you might have like hummus and cucumbers, you might have just a.

00:08:46.380 --> 00:08:47.485
Is this a charcuterie board?

00:08:47.605 --> 00:08:51.895
No, you'll have like maybe some dried fruit A little bit.

00:08:51.916 --> 00:08:52.940
Doesn't this sound like a charcuterie?

00:08:53.543 --> 00:08:54.567
But you can't think of it like that.

00:08:54.567 --> 00:08:57.629
But again, it's a girl dinner, so it's whatever you want, just in small quantities.

00:08:57.659 --> 00:08:59.467
And is it because it's replacing dinner as well?

00:08:59.467 --> 00:08:59.980
Is that what this is?

00:08:59.980 --> 00:09:00.160
Yeah?

00:09:00.181 --> 00:09:02.966
it's just because I don't want one set thing for dinner.

00:09:02.966 --> 00:09:09.811
I want a little bit of everything and I want it all on one plate and I want to just nibble over here, nibble over here, get my sweet and salty.

00:09:10.140 --> 00:09:11.600
At what point do you come nibble on my plate?

00:09:12.386 --> 00:09:13.980
Get my fat, get nibble on your plate.

00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:15.261
You're nibbling on my plate.

00:09:15.261 --> 00:09:17.404
What Don't do me like?

00:09:17.424 --> 00:09:19.847
that I want y'all to know's not true.

00:09:19.847 --> 00:09:25.316
So you're saying the next time I have some popcorn you're not going to want a handful.

00:09:25.316 --> 00:09:32.785
When's the last time I've asked for popcorn?

00:09:32.785 --> 00:09:33.486
Y'all hear the silence.

00:09:33.486 --> 00:09:34.828
She just had a handful recently.

00:09:34.849 --> 00:09:36.770
Okay, that's not true.

00:09:36.770 --> 00:09:41.895
Would you rather cold plunge for 30 days or give up caffeine for 30 days?

00:09:42.356 --> 00:09:54.168
So I'm not too crazy on caffeine, although I do have the pre-workout in my routine, like the organic pre-workout and a coffee sometimes it's a little joke, but I love a cold plunge.

00:09:54.168 --> 00:10:00.000
So I was going to say I could give up caffeine tomorrow, zero hesitation, but also really enjoy the cold plunge.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.576
So I'd pick cold plunge regardless of if the coffee I had to give up or not, yeah, I'd give up caffeine myself.

00:10:06.677 --> 00:10:07.639
Cold plunge, that's for the birds.

00:10:08.101 --> 00:10:09.989
I'm going to cold plunge and I'm going to keep my caffeine.

00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.188
Although cold plunge, and I know that I should do it.

00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:16.168
You've got to ask yourself do you want to be good or do you want to be great?

00:10:16.207 --> 00:10:16.850
I'm always great.

00:10:16.850 --> 00:10:32.048
Okay, so on our anniversary, when we go to the spa and it's time for the cold plunge, I'm doing it, okay, okay, what's, what's our relationship?

00:10:32.048 --> 00:10:33.369
Wellness routine, define that.

00:10:33.369 --> 00:10:41.008
So what I think of is how do we bring health and wellness into our routine as a couple?

00:10:41.008 --> 00:10:43.976
So I would say we work out when we can together.

00:10:43.976 --> 00:10:45.640
We try to go on walks together.

00:10:45.640 --> 00:10:51.152
We are sometimes meal prepping together too, I mean today's a perfect example.

00:10:51.172 --> 00:11:05.807
And to keep it all the way real, because this is going to resonate with somebody Whoever has something in the fridge that's on the verge of expiration, meaning if you do not cook it and cut it, and cook it today, it's going to expire.

00:11:05.807 --> 00:11:08.399
And I appreciate you giving me that reminder because I kind of forgot about it.

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.187
I'm like, ooh, we got to cut that chicken.

00:11:10.187 --> 00:11:15.150
And you're like yo, if it's not cut today, like and there's nothing worse than feeling like it doesn't matter how much money.

00:11:15.171 --> 00:11:16.113
I feel like you're wasting money.

00:11:16.113 --> 00:11:16.352
That's what.

00:11:16.373 --> 00:11:33.453
I'm saying there's no matter how much money you have throwing away something that perfectly good, because you just didn't get to it or wasted it, like to me, it hurts and I just I look at myself and I'm like, especially now with inflation, and my grandma and I think back to you, know, granny, different time, don't know when your next meal is coming.

00:11:33.875 --> 00:11:37.732
I'm like granny would be so disappointed in me right now she would be disappointed.

00:11:37.732 --> 00:11:41.964
So I say that to say you messaged me today and we're like, hey, we got to cut that chicken up.

00:11:41.964 --> 00:11:45.509
And this is going back to the wellness routine, or how we mix that into our relationship.

00:11:45.509 --> 00:11:47.292
Is I cut up the chicken?

00:11:47.292 --> 00:11:57.052
In between one of my meetings gloved up chef style, marinated, but what you did was came in like when I jumped to my next meeting.

00:11:57.052 --> 00:12:03.640
You then cooked it after it marinated for a little bit and then I was able to put it into containers and put it in the fridge.

00:12:03.660 --> 00:12:10.134
So like it's not always overthinking it where there's like this hack or this secret, but it's really like how can I help?

00:12:10.134 --> 00:12:19.409
How do we break something up from you having to cut, cook, put away, prep the chicken to like all right, how do we divvy up some of these responsibilities and help it?

00:12:19.409 --> 00:12:20.259
Help us on the journey.

00:12:20.259 --> 00:12:31.980
Because now, going back full circle to the salads we talked about earlier, when we get home tonight we'll be able to make one of those delicious salads and the chicken's already cooked, versus like oh, let's just go eat out because of the fact that we don't have any food that's ready.

00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:32.822
You know what I mean.

00:12:32.822 --> 00:12:44.850
So I think that's something that's simple, but a lot of times it's the simple things that make the big differences yeah, so wellness routine working out together, praying together, meal prep.

00:12:45.631 --> 00:12:46.033
Cardio.

00:12:46.192 --> 00:12:48.255
Cardio, yeah, Recovery.

00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:54.307
Recovery in the pool, oh yeah, Swim, going to the pool yeah, these are all like major keys, yeah.

00:12:55.341 --> 00:12:59.231
What's one guilty pleasure that actually heals your soul?

00:12:59.231 --> 00:13:01.202
I'll go first.

00:13:02.928 --> 00:13:03.149
Okay.

00:13:04.361 --> 00:13:26.374
For me it's making healthy desserts, and the reason why is because when I was younger we would have no soda, no sugary foods, barely having pizza, not enjoying just, you know, those really kind of childlike foods that are a little bit more on the sugary side.

00:13:26.374 --> 00:13:33.711
So for me I like to take that idea and turn them into healthier meals, right.

00:13:33.711 --> 00:13:47.385
So yesterday I made you I just cut up a green apple, yes, through that you know, toss that in some maple syrup, put that in the air fryer, melted peanut butter and chocolate and drizzled that on top.

00:13:47.385 --> 00:13:50.730
But, yeah, if I would have had that when I was younger, oh my gosh.

00:13:50.730 --> 00:13:51.961
So it heals my inner child.

00:13:51.961 --> 00:13:56.273
Every time I'm like, yes, delicious, I love that I love that.

00:13:56.340 --> 00:14:02.948
So for me I would say definitely playing Madden, but specifically it's franchise mode.

00:14:02.948 --> 00:14:07.005
And those that are listening, that are Detroit Lions fans, are going to know why.

00:14:07.005 --> 00:14:12.785
Every Super Bowl I win, it just makes me feel a little better about the fact that we've never won a Super Bowl.

00:14:12.785 --> 00:14:21.705
So I feel like I'm manifesting right now what's coming for us as a franchise, and so that's why I would say that it's a go-to pleasure that really resonates with my soul as a fan.

00:14:21.705 --> 00:14:22.187
Yeah, I like that.

00:14:22.206 --> 00:14:23.211
If your mindset had a to pleasure that said.

00:14:23.211 --> 00:14:24.899
That, like you know, really resonates okay with my soul as a fan.

00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:25.480
Yeah, I like that.

00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:30.456
If your mindset had a theme song, what would it be?

00:14:30.456 --> 00:14:41.769
Oh well, you go first, okay, so let's do maybe a workout song like a workout mindset theme song are you gonna say it, or no, well, what are you thinking?

00:14:41.769 --> 00:14:48.907
You better lose yourself in the music but it's really the beginning.

00:14:49.086 --> 00:14:50.068
It's really the beginning.

00:14:50.068 --> 00:14:54.024
Yeah, I mean that one goes yeah, that's a great one, that's a good one, but that was that the one you were gonna pick.

00:14:54.024 --> 00:14:54.947
No, I thought that's what you were gonna pick.

00:14:54.967 --> 00:14:55.971
Oh, no, that's a great one, though that's a good one.

00:14:55.971 --> 00:14:56.312
Is that the one?

00:14:56.331 --> 00:14:56.773
you were going to pick.

00:14:56.773 --> 00:14:57.816
No, I thought that's what you were going to pick.

00:14:57.816 --> 00:14:59.240
Oh, no, that's a great one, though that's a great one.

00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.370
Right now I'm trying to think of what I would come out to.

00:15:02.370 --> 00:15:03.462
That's a great question.

00:15:04.265 --> 00:15:04.567
Okay.

00:15:05.148 --> 00:15:05.910
Yeah, you go first.

00:15:06.820 --> 00:15:08.041
I have also for workout.

00:15:08.041 --> 00:15:10.883
Dedication by Nipsey.

00:15:10.942 --> 00:15:11.322
Hussle.

00:15:11.363 --> 00:15:14.044
Patience, hard work plus patience.

00:15:14.384 --> 00:15:16.187
I would say that God did.

00:15:16.826 --> 00:15:17.788
Okay, you do like that.

00:15:17.827 --> 00:15:19.869
Yeah, I could listen to that anytime.

00:15:19.869 --> 00:15:21.549
It's like ooh, yes.

00:15:21.549 --> 00:15:24.452
Yeah, and Friday I'm feeling him as an artist, like just bangers.

00:15:25.513 --> 00:15:27.193
And that's if your mindset had a theme song.

00:15:27.695 --> 00:15:28.875
Yeah, God did.

00:15:28.895 --> 00:15:31.096
Okay, I would say, life would be God's plan.

00:15:31.476 --> 00:15:33.701
Ooh, drake, that's a banger, that's a good one, yeah.

00:15:34.023 --> 00:15:37.751
If it's relationship for me, it'd be Cater to you by Destiny's.

00:15:37.751 --> 00:15:41.890
Child oh Let me cater to you because, baby, this is your day.

00:15:41.890 --> 00:15:44.811
The ladies who know, they know.

00:15:44.831 --> 00:15:45.797
That's a great one.

00:15:46.681 --> 00:15:48.928
Okay, what's your wellness red flag?

00:15:51.780 --> 00:15:52.864
Well, go ahead.

00:15:53.547 --> 00:15:54.128
Is ours the same.

00:15:54.590 --> 00:15:56.548
No, if not, I'll pick a different one.

00:15:56.589 --> 00:15:56.971
Okay, what's yours?

00:15:56.990 --> 00:16:00.246
There's a few, okay, a wellness red flag.

00:16:01.019 --> 00:16:02.907
I'm speaking directly to someone what's your?

00:16:02.907 --> 00:16:03.590
What do you mean?

00:16:03.590 --> 00:16:05.666
Your wellness red flag.

00:16:06.649 --> 00:16:07.993
So, for example, yeah, tell me an example.

00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:11.442
I would say for really for both of us, is that?

00:16:11.442 --> 00:16:19.149
Going back to the previous question where we were talking about meal prep, you have food in the fridge, everyone's been there, but you go out to eat.

00:16:19.448 --> 00:16:19.769
Correct.

00:16:19.869 --> 00:16:30.837
And, yes, you want to go out to eat and even if it's like, oh, let's try, you know a healthier spot, sometimes you may go and happy hour is hitting and it's like, oh my gosh, they have the sliders on here, they have the shrimp tacos.

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:52.633
You know that's a wellness red flag, that's it I'm glad you explained the question, because I was gonna say something different and that's exactly it, no question no question, no question you gotta overcome that and as soon as you get past it you realize like man yes you saved like 200 and like 2 000 so much money save 200 and 2 000 calories come on now, drop it in the comments.

00:16:52.653 --> 00:17:00.474
If you feel less, you pick it up when we lay down okay, what's your reset ritual when you have a mentally rough day?

00:17:01.681 --> 00:17:10.826
I would say the reset ritual goes back really to the power hour, right, but it goes back to prayer, meditation, unwinding, so just kind of getting into a zen.

00:17:10.846 --> 00:17:11.468
Madden for you.

00:17:11.619 --> 00:17:14.489
Madden is definitely going to be in the unwind routine.

00:17:14.769 --> 00:17:15.010
Pool.

00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:15.781
Pool.

00:17:15.781 --> 00:17:16.826
Going for a swim.

00:17:19.641 --> 00:17:20.663
It's giving black boy joy.

00:17:20.782 --> 00:17:22.707
Come on Out there Frolicking.

00:17:25.992 --> 00:17:27.655
Okay, anything else.

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:29.165
I would say that's probably the biggest.

00:17:29.346 --> 00:17:35.332
Okay, reset ritual for me when it's a mentally tough day.

00:17:35.332 --> 00:17:42.781
Honestly, ditto to everything that you said.

00:17:42.781 --> 00:17:49.871
Yeah, you know um the pool as much as we can, I like to step outside on our patio and just get some fresh air catch a hummingbird breaths right, hummingbirds.

00:17:49.871 --> 00:17:50.955
I like to people watch.

00:17:50.955 --> 00:17:55.467
That's a great way to just for me to unwind, but then I also like to watch something funny.

00:17:56.208 --> 00:17:57.730
I like to just get a couple of chuckles.

00:17:57.730 --> 00:17:59.034
We do like to get some chuckles.

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:01.970
I want to get the endorphins flowing.

00:18:01.970 --> 00:18:07.270
I think that's yeah, definitely, and we're watching Mom on Netflix right now.

00:18:08.041 --> 00:18:11.512
That and the Steve Harvey show, and we've been getting chuckles.

00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:12.982
Why not that?

00:18:12.982 --> 00:18:16.082
Can we rewind that so funny?

00:18:16.082 --> 00:18:18.106
Okay, okay, let's see.

00:18:18.106 --> 00:18:19.190
Do, do, do, do.

00:18:19.190 --> 00:18:27.778
When do you feel most mentally clear and focused in the morning no question no question.

00:18:27.798 --> 00:18:31.251
No question, I'm a lion, for sure no question I'm the most clear in the morning.

00:18:31.251 --> 00:18:58.634
I like to get up early before, like almost, like I feel like the world is sleeping and I'm up and I'm able to just get into my thoughts, to do my power hours yeah, and then being able to go into the gym and like work out and typically in the morning there are some people, but like there could be windows, especially on a day like Friday, like there's nobody in the gym at five, six in the morning yeah and you're just like I love it that, yeah, definitely in the morning, for sure.

00:18:59.140 --> 00:19:05.671
Power hour, not touching my phone, oh my gosh, which actually let's go into the next one.

00:19:05.671 --> 00:19:08.940
What's the most underrated mindset hack you've discovered?

00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:11.588
And I would have to say the not touching of the phone in the morning.

00:19:12.760 --> 00:19:31.940
Oh my, I literally feel like a completely different person the last week, the past week yeah the past week I've been super intentional too, because sometimes I'm like, oh, I'm not on my phone, but like you, kind of you on your phone you, you glare but you don't respond, no like, not even looking.

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:34.726
And sometimes that's just a challenge in itself, or not, you know.

00:19:34.726 --> 00:19:38.273
But yeah, challenge of like, I'm not going to look at my phone until after.

00:19:38.273 --> 00:19:38.614
I do.

00:19:38.614 --> 00:19:50.546
You know my prayer, my devotional, my journaling, my meditation, and then I'm transitioning into the day, ready, locked in, versus I'm receiving and catching everything that happened over the night.

00:19:50.546 --> 00:19:53.961
I'm getting the yahoo finance or the stocks are at this peak.

00:19:53.961 --> 00:19:55.246
I'm like, dang it, am I in on?

00:19:55.586 --> 00:19:57.986
that right and you just feel like you can't either catch up.

00:19:57.986 --> 00:20:11.424
You feel like you are constantly in a state of being behind and it's it's like when you're running a relay and you're just seeing people that are just passing you by and you're trying your hardest to try to catch up, but it's so hard.

00:20:11.424 --> 00:20:32.682
But I feel like when we have our power hour in the morning and set our intentions, I know for me like I physically feel better, I'm not nearly as bloated, I don't have the stress blow as much, I mentally feel clear and I feel like I can really take on the day, as opposed to coming from a place where I feel like I'm catching up.

00:20:33.084 --> 00:20:46.871
Yeah, I mean you want to be able to have that champion mindset right, Like you want to be able to feel like I'm really ready to tackle the day, right, and also the energy and everything that comes along with it, because you want to be able to power and charge whatever environment you get into, and it's easier said than done.

00:20:46.871 --> 00:20:48.161
But how do you pour into yourself?

00:20:48.161 --> 00:20:50.243
Yes, and it kind of reminds you of the airplane, right?

00:20:50.243 --> 00:20:56.673
When you're like, put your own mask on and and it's like, well, okay, if not, you're in a situation where you can't breathe.

00:20:56.993 --> 00:20:57.194
Right.

00:20:57.194 --> 00:21:03.364
What do you wish more people knew about confidence?

00:21:03.364 --> 00:21:07.549
I would say that confidence comes from within.

00:21:07.549 --> 00:21:12.455
Confidence does not come from attention from the outside.

00:21:12.455 --> 00:21:17.945
It really is that beaming light from the inside.

00:21:17.945 --> 00:21:20.102
However, confidence needs to be built when you're young.

00:21:20.102 --> 00:21:21.807
That's really what I feel like.

00:21:21.807 --> 00:21:43.807
I feel like the sooner that you can build that confidence within your child, that you're going to see that they're going to really become a different person as they grow and you don't fall prey to you know as much, maybe peer pressure, or you just have a very good understanding of who you are and the confidence that comes with that and it really does come from within.

00:21:43.807 --> 00:21:48.811
And I think also knowing yourself, like knowing your lineage, is another one, too, of understanding.

00:21:48.811 --> 00:21:52.851
No, no, no, my great great grandfather, or like my great grandparents, did this.

00:21:52.851 --> 00:21:56.692
I can't be any other way than excellent.

00:21:57.094 --> 00:22:00.891
You know, just that's what I was thinking yeah, no, I love that and I also think.

00:22:00.891 --> 00:22:02.700
I think confidence comes from also repetition.

00:22:03.402 --> 00:22:20.622
So if you're practicing things and habits are going to make you better, that make you improve, um, excellence then becomes standards becomes a standard, it becomes no other option, because you created that flywheel effect right, and that energy, and so, and also I feel like you know, because you made a great point of knowing your history.

00:22:20.622 --> 00:22:38.471
But also, if your history is not rooted in excellence or a rich you know background or you come from humble beginnings, that's okay, right, like you can have the confidence that I'm literally building that foundation right now, but also speaking that life into yourself, because sometimes, if nobody else is, you got to look in the mirror and you know, tell yourself you're a champion.

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:40.125
I believe that we will win.

00:22:40.125 --> 00:22:44.849
Yes, how do you bounce back after slipping on your goals?

00:22:47.800 --> 00:22:56.807
I think the bounce back a part of it is having the check-ins to not slip too far, right, because, like a part of it is just like, at what point do you realize that you're slipping?

00:22:56.807 --> 00:22:59.753
Is it six days, six months or six years?

00:22:59.753 --> 00:23:01.116
How did I get here?

00:23:01.116 --> 00:23:07.761
So, I think, having the right people around you, right, like the support, um, one thing that we do is just checking in and leaning on each other.

00:23:07.761 --> 00:23:12.188
I know there's a ton of times where you know I can go with a deep end six piece Kaniac, let's go.

00:23:12.188 --> 00:23:15.011
And you're like, ooh, you have goals.

00:23:15.011 --> 00:23:15.853
And I'm like you know what?

00:23:16.273 --> 00:23:16.554
Yes.

00:23:16.733 --> 00:23:17.434
Let's eat that salad.

00:23:17.555 --> 00:23:18.381
Yes, and those are.

00:23:18.381 --> 00:23:22.992
I would say that you're talking more health goals too, which that's right on point.

00:23:22.992 --> 00:23:33.809
But if we're talking life goals, if you notice that you're slipping on your goals, it's having an accountability partner, somebody that's going to text you and say, hey, are we getting closer to having that business plan done Right?

00:23:33.809 --> 00:23:36.859
Going to text you and say, hey, are we getting closer to having that business plan done right?

00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:40.150
Or being able to build that empire that you want to build.

00:23:40.150 --> 00:23:47.547
The accountability partner I think it's also in a support system, like multiple people that you can have around you, that you know like in trust.

00:23:47.547 --> 00:23:50.325
That will help you get to where you want to go.

00:23:50.325 --> 00:23:56.665
And then, if you can get a mentor too, that's another great way to also not be able to slip too far from your goals.

00:23:56.665 --> 00:24:06.491
But again, right, there's times where you have to, either, you know, make a transition or slightly go off the path a little bit, just because life, life, life, be lifin'.

00:24:06.491 --> 00:24:10.647
So, but being able to have maybe those three things will bring you back onto your destination.

00:24:10.667 --> 00:24:16.869
Yeah, and one thing I want to add to that too, to your point, is also writing them down, like, like that's something that there's some really great data around.

00:24:16.869 --> 00:24:20.201
When you write down your goals, you're more than like twice as likely to accomplish them.

00:24:20.201 --> 00:24:37.741
But if you write them down and put them somewhere that you can see them, even if you're off track or busy or, you know, have other things going on, you're going to look back on that mirror or on your desk or wherever you have, you know, on your vision board, and you're like Ooh, I really set out to accomplish that and let's find my way back to that path.

00:24:38.102 --> 00:24:39.945
Yes, what's a sign?

00:24:39.945 --> 00:24:41.890
You're emotionally burnt out?

00:24:43.413 --> 00:24:46.166
I feel like when I'm emotionally burnt out, I start to get short, like you know.

00:24:46.166 --> 00:24:50.002
You just start to feel like it doesn't matter what's some you know what kind of what's going on.

00:24:50.002 --> 00:24:54.847
It's like you know, and I'm like, okay, I'm tired, halt.

00:24:54.847 --> 00:24:59.192
Hungry, angry, lonely or tired, I'm probably hungry.

00:24:59.873 --> 00:25:01.994
More than likely, I'm probably hungry or tired.

00:25:02.756 --> 00:25:03.236
That's true.

00:25:03.236 --> 00:25:12.472
Let's see A sign that I'm emotionally burnt out would be probably just the feeling of when we've talked about a parasite before Right.

00:25:12.472 --> 00:25:16.160
Probably just the feeling of when we've talked about a parasite before right.

00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:24.290
A parasite is, is somebody or something that can leech onto you and literally set the life out of you and I to your point.

00:25:24.290 --> 00:25:24.491
Right.

00:25:24.491 --> 00:25:29.826
It is that shortness, but it's the the, the draining of the energy, the feeling of I just need to.

00:25:29.826 --> 00:25:30.509
I need a break.

00:25:30.509 --> 00:25:33.623
I need a emotional and mental break man.

00:25:33.623 --> 00:25:34.063
Yeah.

00:25:34.564 --> 00:25:35.365
That was the word I mean.

00:25:35.365 --> 00:25:36.326
Just to your point.

00:25:36.326 --> 00:25:41.550
I just wanted to double down and reiterate, for whoever is feeling like that, it doesn't matter what their title is.

00:25:41.550 --> 00:25:45.194
If somebody's draining you, you need to move them away from you.

00:25:45.335 --> 00:25:46.875
That's right Period.

00:25:46.875 --> 00:25:55.146
What's one thing you've learned about success so much?

00:25:55.146 --> 00:26:00.734
I would, if I start, I would say that success is in the eye of the beholder.

00:26:00.734 --> 00:26:12.040
Just because success may look one way for me or you or us together, that may not be what success looks for somebody else, like you just mentioned, right, learning more about your history and your lineage.

00:26:12.040 --> 00:26:24.051
If you came from humble beginnings, you may be like, hey, I'm just trying to make six figures and be able to not worry about my bills, have a home, just have stability.

00:26:24.051 --> 00:26:32.032
Right when, again, that is success for somebody and giving them that option and that grace to live in.

00:26:32.032 --> 00:26:35.888
That I think again and not judge people for where they are.

00:26:35.888 --> 00:26:40.428
You don't know what their goals are and what success is to them unless you ask.

00:26:40.428 --> 00:26:42.432
And then you know when you learn more.

00:26:42.432 --> 00:26:43.541
Give them that applause.

00:26:44.144 --> 00:26:44.605
That's facts.

00:26:44.605 --> 00:26:46.849
I love that To me.

00:26:46.849 --> 00:26:48.173
Ask the question one more time.

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:51.666
What's one thing you learned about success?

00:26:52.048 --> 00:26:58.392
This is going to sound a little bit cliche, but I heard a quote that I really love Success is not owned, it's rented.

00:26:58.392 --> 00:27:00.326
And rent is due every day.

00:27:00.621 --> 00:27:01.585
It's every day.

00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:11.205
So that's what I've learned about success is that, no matter how big the deal is, the opportunity, the award, the accolade, there's always tomorrow.

00:27:11.205 --> 00:27:16.007
There's always another level, like when you think you've arrived, you lost sight of your destination?

00:27:16.648 --> 00:27:21.026
Yeah, absolutely, what's one healthy habit people overcomplicate?

00:27:21.026 --> 00:27:35.458
I would say you know, a degree is going to be physical health, and this would go back to why we created our philosophy SWAN, which stands for Sleep Water, activity, nutrition.

00:27:35.458 --> 00:27:49.218
We need to simplify it, we need to bring it back down to basics the importance of being able to sleep, rest and recover, to drink water, making sure that you're staying hydrated, you're clearing those toxins out of your body.

00:27:49.218 --> 00:27:52.880
The activity to get your body moving, get your heart rate up.

00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:59.010
And nutrition, you know eating the rainbow and smaller, healthier meals, more you know.

00:27:59.010 --> 00:28:06.420
I think just really simplifying that, sticking in that realm, you're going to see major, major differences when it comes to your physical health.

00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.878
Yeah, I second that and I was going to say the same thing on activity.

00:28:08.878 --> 00:28:11.518
People think that you got to be like I'm doing CrossFit.

00:28:11.518 --> 00:28:18.455
And it's like extreme and it's like you could have just put on your sandals and just walked to the mailbox, but instead of once, twice.

00:28:18.635 --> 00:28:20.582
Yeah, or three times, that's right, that's right.

00:28:31.269 --> 00:28:32.152
What's your current health?

00:28:32.172 --> 00:28:37.865
non-negotiable my current health non-negotiable is getting into the gym at least once a day, six days a week for like an hour.

00:28:37.865 --> 00:28:38.204
Yeah, I like that.

00:28:38.204 --> 00:28:40.250
That's a good one, uh, and I second that as well.

00:28:40.250 --> 00:28:50.678
Definitely getting into the gym for us, I'd also say, because I'm really trying to work on my protein intake right now and making sure, like there's been more studies, that have been coming out, especially for women.

00:28:50.758 --> 00:28:50.959
Oh.

00:28:51.078 --> 00:28:53.516
I'm strong, strong, don't get into it.

00:28:53.516 --> 00:28:54.479
So your girl is getting strong.

00:28:54.479 --> 00:29:04.954
So, um, because I've been increasing my protein intake, making sure we have our protein shakes, protein bars, our bone broth like I need to be able in uh, you know, greek yogurt.

00:29:04.954 --> 00:29:12.125
Making sure that I have high protein items in the house has been like a non-negotiable recently, and we also do that when we travel.

00:29:12.125 --> 00:29:25.413
I'd also say, going back to the gym part when we travel, having a hotel that has a fitness center big difference big difference and going to the store to get items we need when we first get into the destination facts 100.

00:29:25.894 --> 00:29:29.804
What's a wellness myth you wish would disappear forever?

00:29:32.712 --> 00:29:33.596
You go first, okay.

00:29:34.391 --> 00:29:58.064
Mine would be that lifting weights makes women look bulky, and the reason why is because there's more studies that are coming out about the importance of strength training for women, and I think again, when we talk about strength training, you know it doesn't need to be I'm lifting heavy amounts of weight but it does need to be challenging.

00:29:58.064 --> 00:30:00.253
It's something that we're noticing in women.

00:30:00.253 --> 00:30:05.673
Long-term it is contributing to longevity, our bone density.

00:30:05.673 --> 00:30:17.183
We lose muscle, lean muscle mass, specifically as we get older as women, and so you have to strength train really up until your 60s, 70s, even into your 80s.

00:30:17.183 --> 00:30:20.661
Obviously, the weight will vary, but strength training is huge.

00:30:20.661 --> 00:30:26.972
So just because you're lifting weights doesn't mean that you're going to be bulky, and you know, unless you're an, what is it?

00:30:26.972 --> 00:30:28.876
Ifbb, IFBB Pro.

00:30:29.778 --> 00:30:30.441
Yeah, moving weight.

00:30:31.041 --> 00:30:34.919
You're moving weight, but not everyone's looking like that or wants to do that.

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:35.821
I really like that.

00:30:35.821 --> 00:30:40.781
What I would say is the myth that you basically need to stop running as you get older.

00:30:40.781 --> 00:30:57.445
I saw some stats and some data around the fact that like I think after the age of like 30, like- 70 to 80 percent of people like don't run at all after they hit like 30 years old, yeah, and I thought that was so crazy that like, well, you like to run, I know but it's also.

00:30:57.465 --> 00:31:14.045
I'm just, but also like I don't like to run, but now that there are studies coming out that you need to do interval sprinting, I mean, but if you just think about it, right, so to look to be 75 and look back and be like man I haven't run in 45 years like that's crazy and you have to be gas station ready can you define?

00:31:14.065 --> 00:31:15.086
no, you define it.

00:31:15.431 --> 00:31:22.151
Shout out to josh bryant man shout out to my guy, josh bryant jill, how strong, come on, gas station ready.

00:31:22.151 --> 00:31:27.961
He's got it on the t-shirts, but basically you're at a gas station at 2 am somebody walks up.

00:31:27.961 --> 00:31:35.952
This is real, though, especially for women if you're at a gas station at 2 am and somebody walks up to your pump, what are you gonna do?

00:31:36.153 --> 00:31:36.554
are you ready?

00:31:36.554 --> 00:31:37.616
Are you gas station?

00:31:37.616 --> 00:31:39.080
Are you ready at the gas station?

00:31:39.080 --> 00:31:40.736
Are you gas station ready?

00:31:40.756 --> 00:31:42.664
that's the whole thing and it was like you know what?

00:31:42.664 --> 00:31:45.598
That is a great question, yeah and you want to be ready, and if you haven't ran in 45 years, there's a great question.

00:31:45.598 --> 00:31:47.750
Yeah, and you want to be ready, and if you haven't ran in 45 years, there's a great chance.

00:31:47.750 --> 00:31:50.655
That's what I said, that you're not gas station ready.

00:31:51.439 --> 00:31:55.661
Okay, what's your body trying to tell you, but you ignore it.

00:31:56.750 --> 00:32:00.541
My body is trying to tell me but I ignore it that I have to have smaller portions.

00:32:06.932 --> 00:32:07.941
But I ignore it.

00:32:07.981 --> 00:32:08.930
The six piece needs to be.

00:32:08.930 --> 00:32:11.673
I absolutely do not need to how dare you?

00:32:11.869 --> 00:32:13.459
The six piece needs to be a three piece.

00:32:14.150 --> 00:32:17.259
The six piece needs to be a three piece, but the six piece is calling my name.

00:32:17.650 --> 00:32:19.856
I just wonder, like the other three, pieces are just.

00:32:20.357 --> 00:32:21.180
I got to be that hungry.

00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:25.298
Yeah, I have to be hungry enough to eat all six, and it's like you don't need all of those.

00:32:26.270 --> 00:32:29.974
My body's trying to tell me that's what, that's, that was a good one.

00:32:29.974 --> 00:32:32.364
So my body's trying to tell me there's.

00:32:32.364 --> 00:32:39.792
So there's two things I'm working on on quieting my nervous system is number number one.

00:32:39.792 --> 00:32:50.557
Number two is my body's telling me that I need to run more and I'm not excited about it.

00:32:50.858 --> 00:32:52.880
I got a video of you running Form was great.

00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.740
I know you looked elite out there, listen.

00:32:55.300 --> 00:32:56.821
Oh no, the form's there, it's just.

00:32:56.821 --> 00:32:57.781
I don't enjoy it.

00:32:57.781 --> 00:33:02.704
Every time I'm like, why, why, why, but there are ladies, there are studies coming out.

00:33:02.704 --> 00:33:06.487
We have to do interval sprinting, and even into your 60s.

00:33:06.487 --> 00:33:07.527
I was talking to my mom about it.

00:33:07.527 --> 00:33:09.327
She said sprinting what do I look like?

00:33:09.468 --> 00:33:10.028
She's a runner.

00:33:10.890 --> 00:33:12.353
She's a track star.

00:33:12.353 --> 00:33:15.558
Okay, let's see, we've got to run through these pretty fast.

00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:17.082
I'm ready, rapid fire.

00:33:17.182 --> 00:33:20.347
This is supposed to be rapid fire, and I think they've been a little bit longer than that.

00:33:21.211 --> 00:33:24.414
Okay, I'm loving really diving in.

00:33:24.494 --> 00:33:25.376
You've healed.

00:33:25.376 --> 00:33:31.105
That had nothing to do with food or fitness you first of we.

00:33:31.105 --> 00:33:32.411
Well, I think this is for both of us.

00:33:32.411 --> 00:33:41.976
You've been trying to heal our inner child it's true honestly major that's second that okay, what's your take on balance in wellness?

00:33:41.976 --> 00:33:44.779
It's integration.

00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:45.740
It is it's, it's integration, it is.

00:33:46.101 --> 00:33:48.384
It's, it's because balance means right.

00:33:48.384 --> 00:33:57.491
If we think about a scale, there is going to be times where you are giving attention more in one area but you're not in another area.

00:33:57.491 --> 00:34:02.934
But if you're integrating health and wellness into your everyday, then it just becomes a part of your routine.

00:34:03.659 --> 00:34:08.291
Yeah, and I think to that point I would say balance in the overall routine of a holistic approach.

00:34:08.291 --> 00:34:15.943
But then you can be unbalanced in certain elements because you want to stay you know that saying of like being uncommon amongst common right.

00:34:15.943 --> 00:34:22.371
Like you do want to be like progressive overload training, which is something we do, like most people don't train and like lift more as they go.

00:34:22.371 --> 00:34:25.800
So I think just things like that are where it can be a little imbalanced.

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:31.579
Some would say because it's heavy lifting or training, but it's also a balance in the overall routine with recovery.

00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:36.681
Yes, what's the weirdest health hack you've tried and didn't work?

00:34:37.342 --> 00:34:37.824
You first.

00:34:37.844 --> 00:34:39.086
Weirdest health hack.

00:34:39.086 --> 00:34:42.878
I mean, it wasn't weird, I just didn't like it.

00:34:42.878 --> 00:34:46.757
The shots of apple cider vinegar, oh my gosh.

00:34:52.250 --> 00:34:52.891
So gross, I second that.

00:34:52.891 --> 00:34:53.634
Yeah, really burn your esophagus.

00:34:53.655 --> 00:34:55.601
Oh my gosh, the worst, the worst.

00:34:55.601 --> 00:35:00.032
What's one small daily ritual that's changed your energy completely?

00:35:00.172 --> 00:35:06.065
meditation yeah no question meditation prayer, but the meditation was new yeah, I agree.

00:35:06.666 --> 00:35:09.773
What's one piece of health advice you'd give your younger self?

00:35:09.773 --> 00:35:22.650
Well different for me because, again having two collegiate athlete parents, it was all about health and wellness for the most part, although my dad was a binge eater.

00:35:22.650 --> 00:35:29.382
Um, my younger self, the the health advice would honestly be more mindset.

00:35:29.382 --> 00:35:38.188
If anything, for me, it would be more based around um, don't be, you, don't need to be fearful, like, go for it.

00:35:38.188 --> 00:35:48.722
Although I did in in in most areas, there were some areas where you know I was just like, oh, I'm scared, I don't want to, but realizing that you have to get over that in order for you to progress.

00:35:49.909 --> 00:35:52.155
Yeah, I tell my younger self, you're going to reach your fullest potential.

00:35:53.056 --> 00:35:53.697
Health advice.

00:35:56.322 --> 00:35:59.501
Okay, I had some big health goals when I was a youngster.

00:35:59.802 --> 00:36:00.226
Okay.

00:36:00.246 --> 00:36:00.929
Playing sports.

00:36:00.929 --> 00:36:03.056
I wanted a transformation.

00:36:03.056 --> 00:36:03.920
I was Buddha back then.

00:36:04.789 --> 00:36:09.541
Well, I think for you, though, I would also go back to even like portion control, kind of some of the things that you're talking about now.

00:36:09.541 --> 00:36:11.791
That's what.

00:36:11.891 --> 00:36:13.255
I think too, more so positive talk.

00:36:13.436 --> 00:36:16.458
Yes, what's the healthiest thing we've done together?

00:36:17.786 --> 00:36:25.300
Ooh, I mean we've done some like I would say like a savanna spa, like being able to go through the sound, healing and the I mean the meditation, I mean it was.

00:36:25.300 --> 00:36:26.902
We had some real breakthroughs.

00:36:26.942 --> 00:36:27.483
We did.

00:36:27.483 --> 00:36:29.105
We did a feng shui class.

00:36:29.670 --> 00:36:30.172
Aerial yoga.

00:36:30.193 --> 00:36:31.552
I forgot about that Aerial yoga who?

00:36:31.572 --> 00:36:32.657
thinks I did aerial yoga.

00:36:32.657 --> 00:36:33.514
People don't believe it.

00:36:33.514 --> 00:36:34.378
I had to drop the picture.

00:36:35.190 --> 00:36:39.311
Aerial yoga we did the meditation with the buffalo drum.

00:36:39.311 --> 00:36:42.322
Whoa, that was intense.

00:36:42.322 --> 00:36:44.121
That was intense.

00:36:44.121 --> 00:36:48.197
We felt the vibrations from our feet all the way up to our heads level yeah, that was amazing.

00:36:48.197 --> 00:36:52.385
What's one healthy conflict resolution habit we've adopted?00:36:52.385 --> 00:37:06.952


I would say a couple of things, but definitely one is addressing the problem more in the moment as opposed to waiting for a couple of days to go by that, yeah, for sure, and always being respectful, like I just think so.00:37:07.092 --> 00:37:15.561


Sometimes people don't like play fair, fight fair or have disagreements in a fair setting, and I just feel like we'll, you know you always keep it respectful that make a difference I love that.00:37:16.070 --> 00:37:19.614


Okay, what's your partner's go-to wellness move?00:37:19.614 --> 00:37:24.119


That makes your that makes you roll your eyes, but it works.00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:34.677


I would say cold plunge I roll my eyes every time, but I know it works or cryo.00:37:35.376 --> 00:37:36.628


I would say sunscreen.00:37:36.628 --> 00:37:38.777


I'm going to put that sunscreen on.00:37:39.050 --> 00:37:43.842


You have me locked in you better put that sunscreen on.00:37:43.842 --> 00:37:45.893


We ain't going to get stage 4 up in here.00:37:45.893 --> 00:37:49.657


No, sir, what's a wellness trend you think is toxic?00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:52.445


intermittent fasting people be falling out.00:37:52.445 --> 00:37:56.414


No food for 10, 15 hours for some folks and they.00:37:56.414 --> 00:37:59.501


We ran into somebody she said I'm like hit it right now.00:38:00.141 --> 00:38:01.630


I would say the work-life balance.00:38:01.630 --> 00:38:02.652


That's true, yeah.00:38:02.652 --> 00:38:04.315


So I like your answer too.00:38:04.315 --> 00:38:08.963


Is soft life a mindset or just another marketing ploy?00:38:09.164 --> 00:38:10.025


Define soft life.00:38:11.309 --> 00:38:22.005


Soft life is to me it's prioritizing peace in all areas of your life emotionally, spiritually, mentally, physically.00:38:22.005 --> 00:38:24.596


It's that soft life I am.00:38:24.596 --> 00:38:33.885


You're not always on the go, right, it's not always being kind of that rat on the wheel, but you're giving yourself that time to take that step back, to be present in the moment.00:38:34.451 --> 00:38:37.981


That's what I think so, then I would say is a soft life, because that's obviously a goal.00:38:37.981 --> 00:38:47.405


Right is to have that soft life, that perspective, but you have to make, I'm sure, a lot of hard decisions and boundaries to have and protect that soft life yes.00:38:47.467 --> 00:38:49.454


Do you think it's a marketing ploy or a mindset?00:38:51.059 --> 00:38:52.907


I think it's a mindset versus a marketing ploy.00:38:52.907 --> 00:38:53.588


I think it's a mindset.00:38:53.588 --> 00:38:54.532


I think it's a mindset too.00:38:54.572 --> 00:38:58.041


Yeah does wellness feel like another form of hustle culture?00:38:58.041 --> 00:39:01.911


Yes, oh yes that was quick, okay, why?00:39:02.052 --> 00:39:06.398


quick, you gotta have, I mean the, the, the hustle of, not just.00:39:06.398 --> 00:39:11.371


You gotta have this attire, you got to have this workout gear, you got to have this membership, you got to like, it's all.00:39:11.371 --> 00:39:14.797


There's this hustle of like what's new GLP-1s.00:39:14.797 --> 00:39:15.699


Are you on Ozempic?00:39:15.699 --> 00:39:16.480


Are you doing this?00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:17.641


Are you doing recovery?00:39:17.641 --> 00:39:18.543


Are you doing cryo?00:39:18.543 --> 00:39:19.063


Are you doing?00:39:19.664 --> 00:39:19.864


Yes.00:39:20.150 --> 00:39:21.516


What vitamins and supplements?00:39:28.789 --> 00:39:29.572


Are you doing creatine right?00:39:29.572 --> 00:39:32.257


I feel like I'm hustling, got you, I'm hustling, I'm a hustler, I'm a hustler baby.00:39:32.257 --> 00:39:35.686


Is it possible to heal in a world that rewards burnout?00:39:35.686 --> 00:39:42.369


It is, it is, it is, but you have to again go going back to soft life boundaries mindset boundaries because you got to say yes to the right things.00:39:42.389 --> 00:39:45.152


But you have to create the boundaries and stick to the boundary.00:39:45.193 --> 00:39:46.875


Yeah Right, yeah, for sure.00:39:46.875 --> 00:39:47.255


Love that.00:39:47.255 --> 00:39:51.159


What's your take on the obsession with morning routines?00:39:51.659 --> 00:39:52.981


We love it Mandatory.00:39:53.001 --> 00:39:54.362


Mandatory have to.00:39:54.621 --> 00:39:54.902


Got to.00:39:55.083 --> 00:39:55.422


Have to.00:39:55.422 --> 00:39:57.864


You want to be the thermostat or the thermometer.00:39:57.905 --> 00:39:59.065


You want to be good or you want to be great.00:40:00.989 --> 00:40:01.911


You want to be good or you want to be great.00:40:01.911 --> 00:40:04.597


What wellness advice is doing more harm than good?00:40:04.597 --> 00:40:08.623


Right now, I have my glp once.00:40:09.606 --> 00:40:12.331


Yeah, yeah I would say they're doing more harm than good.00:40:12.351 --> 00:40:19.668


They're doing more harm than good right now because again people are realizing like, oh, I'm gonna have to actually change my habits in order for this to work long term.00:40:19.668 --> 00:40:21.132


People just want that quick fix.00:40:21.132 --> 00:40:21.853


Right.00:40:21.853 --> 00:40:39.635


That's what people if, if you don't need it for this, for the, the, what it's used for for diabetes and people that are using it outside of what it's supposed to be used for, yeah, if you're using weight management just because you can't, you know, make the boundaries and stick to the boundaries, then, yeah, yeah, it's doing more harm than good quick fix.00:40:40.297 --> 00:40:44.952


What's something you no longer believe about personal development?00:40:46.275 --> 00:41:06.097


last question that you're limited in any way, like sometimes you think you got to go to the conference or go sit in front of the speaker yes like you can implement it with a piece of paper, right here, right now, just by yourself, just by putting it together and putting it in writing I like that, that you no longer believe about personal development also, that it happens overnight.00:41:07.643 --> 00:41:18.838


it can take years for you to get to a point where you are again going back, where you have that soft life you're healing, you're not in the, you know, obsession phase.00:41:18.838 --> 00:41:20.402


Yeah, it takes time.00:41:23.311 --> 00:41:25.434


A lot of heat, a lot of heat a lot of heat.00:41:26.257 --> 00:41:29.704
