I don't know about for you, 5000:01:58,962 --> 00:02:01,762but last year it was a lot. There was a 5100:02:01,762 --> 00:02:03,282lot of growth. There was a lot of 5200:02:03,282 --> 00:02:05,483learning. And through that learning and 5300:02:05,483 --> 00:02:08,123through that growth has come a deeper 5400:02:08,123 --> 00:02:10,803realization and recognition that my 5500:02:11,203 --> 00:02:14,083feeling of being called to 5600:02:14,083 --> 00:02:16,483really. Support people 5700:02:16,723 --> 00:02:18,723with their mental health through their 5800:02:18,723 --> 00:02:21,123physical health has become even more 5900:02:21,123 --> 00:02:23,283obvious and even more needed. You may 6000:02:23,283 --> 00:02:24,603have noticed or you're just hearing for 6100:02:24,603 --> 00:02:26,003the first time that I've really leaned 6200:02:26,003 --> 00:02:28,443into focusing on helping people to 6300:02:29,043 --> 00:02:31,363navigate through anxiety and stress 6400:02:31,363 --> 00:02:33,203because that's prevalent and it's real 6500:02:33,203 --> 00:02:35,683and it's alive for people. And also is 6600:02:35,683 --> 00:02:37,323the the deep fear and the worry and the 6700:02:37,323 --> 00:02:39,683sadness and and states of depression 6800:02:39,683 --> 00:02:41,763that's real and that's alive for people. 6900:02:42,043 --> 00:02:43,123And those are things that I have 7000:02:43,123 --> 00:02:45,843navigated over the course of my. 46 7100:02:45,843 --> 00:02:48,683years a lot. And so I've acquired a lot 7200:02:48,683 --> 00:02:50,603of tools to help to 7300:02:52,323 --> 00:02:54,404tend and attend to myself and as the 7400:02:54,404 --> 00:02:57,244foundation for for my health and my 7500:02:57,244 --> 00:02:59,724happiness, right?And so I've come to 7600:02:59,724 --> 00:03:02,004recognize that movement is 7700:03:02,404 --> 00:03:04,964mind medicine. Movement is body medicine. 7800:03:05,284 --> 00:03:08,164It is a tool, right?And and so medicine 7900:03:08,164 --> 00:03:10,644in this sense is meaning a. 8000:03:11,564 --> 00:03:13,844Tool to navigate a a bomb, an 8100:03:13,844 --> 00:03:16,404approach, a perspective that's a 8200:03:16,404 --> 00:03:18,284medicine in this sense. It's it's a 8300:03:18,284 --> 00:03:20,364helpful, you know, 8400:03:20,724 --> 00:03:22,884solution if you will to an issue. 8500:03:23,324 --> 00:03:25,124Whereas there might be a need for 8600:03:25,124 --> 00:03:27,404medication and I am 100% in support of 8700:03:27,404 --> 00:03:29,924that. And so from that perspective it is, 8800:03:30,004 --> 00:03:32,084it is also a tool, right?Because there is 8900:03:32,084 --> 00:03:34,084actual significant bodies of science and 9000:03:34,084 --> 00:03:36,644research that shows us that movement 9100:03:37,124 --> 00:03:39,524is really helpful in. 9200:03:40,044 --> 00:03:41,764Restoring homeostasis in the body, 9300:03:41,764 --> 00:03:43,444balancing our hormones, bringing our 9400:03:43,444 --> 00:03:44,845stress levels down, helping us sleep 9500:03:44,845 --> 00:03:47,085better, helping us have stronger muscles 9600:03:47,085 --> 00:03:48,485and stronger bones and feel more 9700:03:48,485 --> 00:03:50,805confident and to actually change our mood 9800:03:50,805 --> 00:03:52,805because of how we change our posture. So 9900:03:52,805 --> 00:03:55,285yes, movement is medicine. 10000:03:55,605 --> 00:03:57,485It's very important for us to remember 10100:03:57,485 --> 00:03:59,605that. And this is a 10200:03:59,605 --> 00:04:02,405conversation around mind body tools that 10300:04:02,405 --> 00:04:04,085is absolutely going to include. 10400:04:05,085 --> 00:04:07,045Possible use of medication, if that feels 10500:04:07,045 --> 00:04:08,805aligned for you, that's I'm not saying 10600:04:09,125 --> 00:04:11,205it's necessary and I'm not ruling it out 10700:04:11,245 --> 00:04:13,525either. I'm just saying I think it's time 10800:04:13,525 --> 00:04:15,525for us to have a different conversation 10900:04:15,765 --> 00:04:18,445around mental health because we all have 11000:04:18,445 --> 00:04:21,365mental health. Whether 11100:04:21,365 --> 00:04:24,245or not we have challenges depends on 11200:04:24,245 --> 00:04:26,405your perspective and it also probably 11300:04:26,405 --> 00:04:27,765depends on the day. 11400:04:29,085 --> 00:04:31,645Because as a human, you are going to 11500:04:31,645 --> 00:04:34,486encounter challenges. And while you know 11600:04:34,486 --> 00:04:36,006they may be few and far between, or they 11700:04:36,006 --> 00:04:38,966may be constant for you, how we handle 11800:04:38,966 --> 00:04:40,806those, how we respond to the stressors of 11900:04:40,806 --> 00:04:43,686life will impact how we feel, 12000:04:43,926 --> 00:04:46,806will impact the response and the 12100:04:46,806 --> 00:04:49,446reactions that we have, right?And all of 12200:04:49,446 --> 00:04:52,086that is, it's important and it's valid. 12300:04:52,526 --> 00:04:55,326And you know, I for me, you maybe heard 12400:04:55,326 --> 00:04:57,846me talking before of like sleeping booty 12500:04:57,846 --> 00:04:59,686and the seven sneaky symptoms of sitting 12600:04:59,686 --> 00:05:02,006too much. And that's, you know, while it 12700:05:02,006 --> 00:05:04,486was funny, I think it's funny. It's 12800:05:04,966 --> 00:05:07,766the reality is, is that we are becoming 12900:05:07,766 --> 00:05:10,166more sedentary because we sit all the 13000:05:10,166 --> 00:05:11,566time, right?You're probably even sitting 13100:05:11,606 --> 00:05:14,006right now. I don't know, might be 13200:05:14,486 --> 00:05:16,806we sit all the time, right?And and we 13300:05:16,886 --> 00:05:18,086because when we're sitting, we're 13400:05:18,086 --> 00:05:20,126slouching, compresses your spine. It 13500:05:20,126 --> 00:05:22,326makes it harder for you to deep. Take 13600:05:22,326 --> 00:05:23,927deep breaths, which then triggers 13700:05:23,927 --> 00:05:25,447stretch, which then affects your mood. 13800:05:25,607 --> 00:05:28,007And so, you know, I started that as a 13900:05:28,007 --> 00:05:29,487joke because I, you know, people care 14000:05:29,487 --> 00:05:31,167about their body and sleeping, waking up 14100:05:31,167 --> 00:05:33,087their sleeping booty and stuff. But I the 14200:05:33,207 --> 00:05:35,207the intention was always there is that 14300:05:35,407 --> 00:05:37,367when we change your physiology, it 14400:05:37,367 --> 00:05:39,927changes your inner state, your 14500:05:39,927 --> 00:05:42,487physical state affects your mental state 14600:05:42,487 --> 00:05:44,887and emotional state and vice versa. And 14700:05:44,887 --> 00:05:46,727so that's another reason why this is so 14800:05:46,727 --> 00:05:49,607potent. And for me, this is, it's not 14900:05:49,607 --> 00:05:51,927really a shift in direction. It's a a 15000:05:52,807 --> 00:05:55,767shift to go deeper. It's a call to go 15100:05:55,767 --> 00:05:58,167deeper. I'm feeling that call. And 15200:05:59,127 --> 00:06:00,887it's exciting, right?It's exciting 15300:06:00,887 --> 00:06:03,607because when you can integrate all of the 15400:06:03,607 --> 00:06:06,247different pieces of the things that you 15500:06:06,247 --> 00:06:09,087do that light you up and find a way to 15600:06:09,207 --> 00:06:11,127be able to share that in service to 15700:06:11,127 --> 00:06:13,688others, that is so beautiful. 15800:06:14,168 --> 00:06:16,768That is another source of joy. And that's 15900:06:16,768 --> 00:06:19,528so incredibly invaluable. And 16000:06:20,688 --> 00:06:22,168I just really think that 16100:06:24,088 --> 00:06:26,408all of us are being called 16200:06:27,448 --> 00:06:30,408to enjoy our lives, to make the most of 16300:06:30,408 --> 00:06:32,728this one beautiful life in this physical 16400:06:32,728 --> 00:06:35,128form that you are given. Because if not 16500:06:35,128 --> 00:06:37,288now, when?When are you going to do that? 16600:06:37,928 --> 00:06:39,608Sorry to be stern.

I can't work out. I'm freaking 20300:08:01,370 --> 00:08:04,210tired. It's tough, this 20400:08:04,210 --> 00:08:06,090human thing. And 20500:08:06,810 --> 00:08:09,770I I feel really honored to really 20600:08:09,770 --> 00:08:12,130share these tools that are, they're 20700:08:12,130 --> 00:08:14,490really effective and they're, you know. 20800:08:15,010 --> 00:08:17,490Raced in ancient wisdom traditions and 20900:08:17,490 --> 00:08:20,130backed by modern neuroscience and and 21000:08:20,130 --> 00:08:22,410exercise Physiology and all of that. So 21100:08:22,410 --> 00:08:24,450whatever side of the, you know, spiritual 21200:08:24,450 --> 00:08:26,290or science or in the middle because 21300:08:26,290 --> 00:08:29,130they're actually the same of the the 21400:08:29,130 --> 00:08:31,770road that you're on, I just want you to 21500:08:31,770 --> 00:08:34,450have tools. And I know it's one thing to 21600:08:34,450 --> 00:08:36,090have tools and another thing to use the 21700:08:36,090 --> 00:08:38,650tools. So I want to make them as 21800:08:38,810 --> 00:08:41,050approachable as possible. I want to take 21900:08:41,050 --> 00:08:43,051out that stigma and the stereotype that, 22000:08:43,211 --> 00:08:44,411you know, we have to be happy and 22100:08:44,411 --> 00:08:45,931sunshiny and high vibe all the time 22200:08:45,931 --> 00:08:48,451because that's not realistic. But what 22300:08:48,451 --> 00:08:50,571we're doing here is shifting the 22400:08:50,571 --> 00:08:52,091perspective and opening up the 22500:08:52,091 --> 00:08:55,011conversation of it's normal to 22600:08:55,011 --> 00:08:56,931have these challenges and can we talk 22700:08:56,931 --> 00:08:59,451about it and normalize it even more? 22800:08:59,691 --> 00:09:02,651Because we were 22900:09:02,651 --> 00:09:04,491going through these challenges on our own 23000:09:04,491 --> 00:09:06,331sometimes and that silent struggle makes 23100:09:06,331 --> 00:09:07,851it even harder because we feel really. 23200:09:07,891 --> 00:09:10,731Really isolated. And you know, 23300:09:10,731 --> 00:09:13,371it's really, it's a time for us to 23400:09:14,011 --> 00:09:16,891really own the fact that we 23500:09:16,891 --> 00:09:18,611have this beautiful opportunity. We're 23600:09:18,611 --> 00:09:20,571being called forth by, you know, whatever 23700:09:20,571 --> 00:09:22,051it is you feel called to do. You have 23800:09:22,051 --> 00:09:24,491this purpose that you feel excited about, 23900:09:24,491 --> 00:09:26,051hopefully, or maybe you're uncovering 24000:09:26,051 --> 00:09:28,051that, or maybe you have no idea. But the 24100:09:28,251 --> 00:09:29,931the fact of the matter is, is that you're 24200:09:29,931 --> 00:09:32,052here. And that means you're here for a 24300:09:32,052 --> 00:09:33,692reason, because the universe doesn't do 24400:09:33,692 --> 00:09:35,892anything on accident. So you're here for 24500:09:35,892 --> 00:09:37,252a reason, and you might know what it is 24600:09:37,252 --> 00:09:39,252and you might not. And that's OK. It 24700:09:39,252 --> 00:09:41,332doesn't matter. It matters that you're 24800:09:41,332 --> 00:09:44,252here and that you are able to 24900:09:45,052 --> 00:09:47,532learn more about yourself and cultivate 25000:09:49,532 --> 00:09:52,492more compassion. Really, 25100:09:52,492 --> 00:09:54,412that's what this is coming back to, is 25200:09:54,412 --> 00:09:57,052finding this perspective shift. 25300:09:57,292 --> 00:09:59,172And that's the meaning that we tend to 25400:09:59,172 --> 00:10:01,172make, is that this is a problem. This is 25500:10:01,172 --> 00:10:02,892a struggle. This is, you know, who I am. 25600:10:02,892 --> 00:10:05,772No, that's not true. It's not true. It's 25700:10:05,772 --> 00:10:08,652an experience that you're having and it's 25800:10:09,052 --> 00:10:11,532something that you can witness and 25900:10:13,452 --> 00:10:14,932create some space from by just 26000:10:14,932 --> 00:10:16,612acknowledging that rather than saying I'm 26100:10:16,612 --> 00:10:19,212anxious, saying I'm feeling anxious. 26200:10:19,652 --> 00:10:21,452And that's that can be your one thing is 26300:10:21,452 --> 00:10:23,053just changing the way you speak about it 26400:10:23,053 --> 00:10:25,133and changing the way you speak to it and 26500:10:25,133 --> 00:10:26,893recognizing that that's not you. 26600:10:27,533 --> 00:10:30,413Because the truth and the true essence of 26700:10:30,413 --> 00:10:33,213who you are is so much deeper. Than 26800:10:33,213 --> 00:10:34,933all of these external challenges and 26900:10:34,933 --> 00:10:37,213these external accolades and and you 27000:10:37,213 --> 00:10:39,173know, follower count and e-mail this and 27100:10:39,173 --> 00:10:41,293blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. What 27200:10:41,293 --> 00:10:43,453matters most is how you feel 27300:10:44,173 --> 00:10:46,933and why not have a 27400:10:46,933 --> 00:10:49,293tool set and some practices and some 27500:10:49,293 --> 00:10:52,013rituals and some go tos to be able 27600:10:52,013 --> 00:10:54,573to learn about yourself. Because 27700:10:54,573 --> 00:10:57,253no, it's not not ideal to be 27800:10:57,253 --> 00:10:58,653waking up in the middle of the night and 27900:10:58,653 --> 00:11:00,973constantly feel like you your brain is 28000:11:00,973 --> 00:11:02,613racing and you just have to keep going 28100:11:02,613 --> 00:11:04,173and you can't stop and you feel guilty 28200:11:04,173 --> 00:11:05,493stopping. And when you stop, you think 28300:11:05,493 --> 00:11:06,733about what you should be doing and you 28400:11:06,733 --> 00:11:07,813feel anxious about the fact that you 28500:11:07,813 --> 00:11:10,173haven't done it. That's that's a very 28600:11:10,333 --> 00:11:13,134highly activated nervous system. Or 28700:11:13,134 --> 00:11:15,694it's also not not ideal to be 28800:11:15,934 --> 00:11:17,534feeling like you're just plodding through 28900:11:17,534 --> 00:11:19,094life one foot in front of the other and 29000:11:19,094 --> 00:11:21,294and it's awful and and I've been there 29100:11:21,294 --> 00:11:24,174too and it's. It's brutal and it's 29200:11:24,174 --> 00:11:26,134brutal to wake up and feel that sad. And 29300:11:26,134 --> 00:11:27,734right now I can feel that in my heart 29400:11:27,734 --> 00:11:29,454because I've spent a lot of time like 29500:11:29,454 --> 00:11:32,174that. And and the fact that people, 29600:11:33,134 --> 00:11:35,774maybe you, maybe not, are feeling that 29700:11:35,774 --> 00:11:38,654way right now, like I literally could cry 29800:11:38,974 --> 00:11:41,414because I know how how hard it hurts 29900:11:43,374 --> 00:11:45,374and I don't. I don't want you to have to 30000:11:45,374 --> 00:11:48,174be there. I don't. 30100:11:51,654 --> 00:11:52,694Because I know it's awful. 30200:11:54,974 --> 00:11:57,374I know it's awful. And so 30300:11:57,694 --> 00:12:00,414that's why. That's why I feel that this 30400:12:00,414 --> 00:12:02,255is this transition. 30500:12:03,215 --> 00:12:06,135It's happening. It's happening 30600:12:06,255 --> 00:12:08,415because this is so freaking important. 30700:12:09,055 --> 00:12:11,615It's so important. You're important.

I mean, do it in this lifetime. 31400:12:22,895 --> 00:12:24,975Do it in this lifetime, because 31500:12:25,855 --> 00:12:27,535the truth of the matter is this is the 31600:12:27,535 --> 00:12:29,535one chance you have in this physical 31700:12:29,535 --> 00:12:31,495form.
