Mm.
6:31
They're emotionally constipated.
6:32
They have all these suppressed emotions.
6:34
They have things that they haven't said, which fester, and they're angry, and they're resentful, and they have shame, and it's like they have not said that to anybody.
6:43
Then they wonder why their creativity is blocked.
6:46
Then they wonder why they feel tired.
6:48
Then they wonder why they're getting sick.

Yeah
15:28
For you, when you're speaking out loud, how do you move from rumination to getting to the core, to the self-care, to the curiosity?
15:37
Yeah, once again, it really boils down to the questions that I ask myself.
15:42
So if I find myself quietly ruminating...
15:48
I notice it, first of all, because I'm in my head.
15:51
It does not feel good.
15:52
I'm spiraling.
15:53
I can feel it in my body.

It feels like so- That was loaded.
6:35
Yes.
6:36
I, I had all these email addresses.
6:37
I was manually emailing people the next day to do calls with me.
6:41
Fast-forward, one of the women became my client, okay? Then fast-forward three years later, I get a voicemail from this client.
6:50
She's a producer on VH1, and she goes, "I remember how much you impacted me.
6:55
I was 28, by the way." And, and then so, so I'm, I'm now 31.
6:59
I get a voicemail from her, and she goes, "We would love to have you on the Basketball Wives reality show." I don't know if you remember Basketball Wives.

What one just like stem- like you're like, "That is the one that I really, like, that's a big one for me."
