1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,000 Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Life and personal study. What types of personal studies have you done that again helped you get to where you are right now? 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:24,000 I think it's been, it's been different workshops. I spent a year in between, in between career things, just going to workshops and learning from other professionals in the space. 3 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:32,000 Yeah. So, yeah. Do you mind mentioning a few like who you learned from? Where did you learn the concepts? 4 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:45,000 So it will help people center themselves with like, oh, okay, I can relate to Tony Robbins, but I don't like Greg Cardone. You know, it helps people center in and say, oh, wow, okay, she learns from people that I respect and find valuable. 5 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:58,000 Yeah, let's see. So I have not yet been to the school of Byron Katie, but that is on my, that is on my wish list to go to the Byron Katie, but I have been to workshops by her facilitators. 6 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:11,000 So the work of Byron Katie, a transformation academy. I've gone to another week long workshop in Arizona by individual coaches, I spent close to two. 7 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:31,000 All right. Welcome in to Vision Pros Live with Jackson Callum. I'm your show host. We'll be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs and guest leaders who are building fantastic visions out there. 8 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Hey, welcome in to Vision Pros Live. I'm your host, Jackson Callum, founder and CEO of First Class Business. And today I'm going to have Carrie Anderson on with us. We're going to be talking about nurturing the soul. 9 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:52,000 That's what her calling is in life. That's what she does to help people. So we're talking about overcoming life's challenges. We're going to be talking about living an authentic life. 10 00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:13,000 And it's going to be fun to discover what she's able to do. She doesn't have your traditional accolades. She's like me. And I'm not a university grad. I learned how to do what I do through trial and error and experiences of life and just being a student of all things that all opportunities that come my way. 11 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:28,000 And so I tend to gravitate towards people like Carrie and I'm like, OK, cool. She's not just holding herself up by some stupid piece of paper that's on her wall. No offense to all you grads who did that and also go about being experts. 12 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:37,000 But it is important to work on our continued education. And she seems like a rock star in that field. So we're going to be going to that just a minute. 13 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Quick shout out to our sponsors. One cold click right here. Cold clicks what we use for our LinkedIn automation. It gets me connected to great people like Carrie. 14 00:02:46,000 --> 00:03:03,000 Art Hoffman who runs that company is a friend of mine. One of the things I like about Art is that he's a former D1 football player, wide receiver. And if you know anything about people who play sports, they're extremely competitive and they have an extreme tenacity for working hard and getting things done. 15 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:13,000 And so they're going to find solutions to the problems that are in front of them, just like he had to with the cornerback who is trying to prevent him from catching the ball. And his coach was Urban Meyer. 16 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:25,000 If you don't know who that is, feel free to look that up. But people who've accomplished, who've gone about striving to win champions, they tend to create great systems when they live a holistic life. 17 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:37,000 What Art's program does for me is it protects me from the algorithms as we try to get in front of as many people as possible who are like-minded with us. So if you need some help with that, feel free to contact ColdClick. 18 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:49,000 Another great sponsor is TapMental.io. That's TapMental.io with David Goodall. David actually became a client of ours through this podcast. He loved the processes. It made sense. 19 00:03:49,000 --> 00:04:05,000 And then what's really cool is we're now actually working to become clients of his because his processes are all about creating a harmony and a bridge between the psychology of running the business and the systems that you utilize in order to be effective. 20 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:25,000 He's just got some great superpowers for unlocking the barriers, the mindset challenges you may have, the limitations. Now, I would venture to say that everybody in this life comes with their own set of limiting beliefs, things that we don't understand, things that we need to move out of our way if we're going to climb up the mountain further and faster. 21 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:47,000 So feel free to reach out to him. Check out his testimonials and case studies. Really great guy. Great family man as well. And specifically, he's great at working with people in the construction space. Blue collar individuals that sometimes have a harder time, maybe associated with somebody like me who's a little bit softer on the edges. 22 00:04:47,000 --> 00:05:06,000 You know, you don't catch me in a construction site very often these days. On the flip side over the water project, if you're in a position to be able to give back, I would highly recommend going and taking a look at the water project and considering giving to those who do not have clean drinking water, whether that's a dollar or thousand dollars. 23 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:21,000 If you also have a cause you'd like to promote, just drop it in the show notes. You never know how much good you'll do just by taking the simple act of sharing and creating awareness around that. You might see me promote that the next time you might see me contribute to said cause as well. 24 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Take a shot. It doesn't do anything to you or for you per se, but you will be the facilitator of goodness for others. And that at the end of the day makes me feel good. Makes me excited about why I do the show. 25 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Without further ado, Carrie Anderson is a, I didn't have a title for her. She's not necessarily a coach. She's not necessarily a guru. She's not necessarily an expert, but she's a great listener and she has unlocked an aura about her that I appreciate greatly. 26 00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:07,000 I look forward to bringing her on talking to her about her vision, how she can help people. So without further ado, Carrie, thank you for being on vision pros live and being willing to share how you go about creating abundance in the lives of those that you serve. 27 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:26,000 I love this. Everything that I do starts from the inside out. So what I always tell people is we can't, we can't manipulate or manage the outside world. What we can do is create from the inside. So that's, that's a real self awareness and clearing out those blocks. 28 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:50,000 And like you were mentioning before in the, in the intro, the patterns that we come into adulthood with figuring out if those are serving you and which ones are not, and then getting the ones that are not serving you out of the way and reprogramming so that you are in a, in a space to bring abundance into your life without blocking it from things that you didn't have any control over in your programming. 29 00:06:50,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Absolutely. I love that. So catch on the screen if you're, if you're watching instead of listening in Carrie's company is my mind and body collective. We'll be talking about that and that name choice probably in a little bit. I'm curious about it. But first off, Carrie, who should be listening today? 30 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:17,000 And why should they listen to you specifically with all the other billions of people they could turn to for advice or unlocking truth and what are they going to get out of today's show? 31 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:33,000 Okay, thanks for asking. There are so many people and we're not necessarily each of us that do this, that either coach in this space or teach in this space. It's not that any of us have any real difference in what we're going to share, but who do you connect with? 32 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Whose message do you connect with and does it resonate and land in your soul? 33 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:55,000 I have learned from experience, my own personal experience, my experience with my kids and experience with a lots of personal clients. And I help people all the time, figure out what is bothering them, what's what is in their way and what could we clear out? 34 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:09,000 How could we use and tap into the world of energy, paying attention to energy principles, universal laws that can make life easier? And we know that anxiety is rampant, right? 35 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:17,000 Our kids have it, we have it, our coworkers have it, and we're either dealing with it and living with it or accommodating for it. 36 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:32,000 And I think what's unfortunate is that so many people just assume that this is what they have to live with. And I know that you don't. I 100% believe that there are people who need pharmaceuticals and they help and we've used that in our own family. 37 00:08:32,000 --> 00:09:01,000 But I also know that there are tools that people can use and implement into their lives that will lessen the levels of anxiety and help you cope and manage better so that you don't have to either just live with anxiety or rely solely on outside numbing forces, pharmaceuticals, things that everybody does to buffer and try to feel better that don't actually enhance your life. 38 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:16,000 So I would love to be able to share some of those. I hope we get to some of that. But that's what I love to teach people and help them navigate and know that you don't have to just live with the difficulties and things that make your life not feel good. 39 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:33,000 Absolutely. And one of my roles in this job is being a co I was being the host of the show is to really be a second voice one, somebody who asked questions, if somebody if one of my visionaries goes off topic or doesn't seem like they really know what they're talking about. 40 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:49,000 On the flip side, it's to make sure to validate concepts that I have lived and known to be true as well and really enforce what Carrie's saying so I also want to expose something real about podcasts and in a trend that a lot of podcasters are getting into. 41 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:59,000 And that's what they make the show about themselves and about the growth of the show and trying to convince you to listen to every episode, I'm going to be the opposite of most as a host, I don't I don't want that. 42 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:08,000 I want you as a visionary to gain access to the leaders who are going to guide you to a more holistic lifestyle, but don't treat our podcasts like a book. 43 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:16,000 You're not meant to take in every single episode like Carrie said, maybe it is the person that I had talking yesterday. 44 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:28,000 Neil, about about. Oh, I'm sorry, James James follows yesterday, and he talked about self awareness as well but he's got a different voice. He's got a different angle he's got a different approach than Carrie, and Carrie's approach is going to be fantastic. 45 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:47,000 For the people who need to find her. And so Carrie I hope you use this episode to really distribute this in your own channels as well to attract people because that's that's where most people are probably going to come across it unless organic ranking for this particular show hits hard, 46 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:59,000 and people find it but those of you who are listening and my point with that is, there's this great song that's called if we're adding to the noise, turn off this song. 47 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:12,000 If my podcast is adding to your noise, then just unplug go for a walk, go get in tune with you, your mind and your heart, and Carrie brought up pharmaceuticals. 48 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:23,000 I did try that, you know and I've got family members who also take pharma I'm not I'm not anti. It's not for me. But years ago, I when I was going through a very rough patch of life. 49 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000 I decided to listen to my doctor and he had a great analogy, and it was the analogy that ultimately convinced me to do it. 50 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:39,000 And he said what we need to do Jackson is you're not going to escape your external circumstances, but we can, we can help you survive the hurricane by increasing the size of your boat. 51 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:49,000 And that's what these depressing medicines or depression medicines will help you with antidepressants. And no, it did not. It was not helpful. 52 00:11:49,000 --> 00:12:00,000 I was on it for about a month. And after that month, there was a day where I had time. I was like, Oh, I should call so and so. I don't really want to. I should call so and so. 53 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:10,000 I should call so and so. That is not me. I reach out to people like I need my energy. I want to, you know, be be full of energy and helping people and useful. 54 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:21,000 And I couldn't do that when so other people said try different medicine, blah, blah, blah. No, for me, I knew in my heart, my mind, I needed to turn to tools that were more organic in nature. 55 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:30,000 And then we're more aligned with what I felt were appropriate. And I mean, I do have access to happiness and I do have access to peace. 56 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000 And it was probably through using a lot of the methods that Carrie's going to be talking about. 57 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:50,000 And so I'm very much an advocate for finding somebody like Carrie, hearing her out, sharing vulnerably with her where you're at, if that trust is established and making sure that that you then put into action. 58 00:12:50,000 --> 00:13:01,000 The different types of exercises that she may be talking about. So Carrie, I show you thunder a little bit, but we're going to go into your vision now. What's your vision for those that you serve? What do you hope they achieve? 59 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,000 My, my vision in totality is I want people to feel more peace. 60 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:17,000 I was in a space where my world was very, very crazy. I was very stressed out. I was very under pressure. My relationships were cracking and I was making a mess of them. 61 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:29,000 And once I moved through this and tried these things and found them to work for me, really all I wanted for people is to feel at peace, feeling happiness, joy, loving, you know, everything that happens. 62 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:40,000 That's another level. But if people can just get to a place where they're feeling at peace and at ease with their life, that's something that I know that everybody can get to. 63 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:52,000 And that's what I want for people. And then we can go past that, you know, bringing in more experiences and spending time with the things that you love and, and those upper higher level vibration activities and events and stuff. 64 00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:00,000 But just getting to a place of peace, like that just right there, we can exhale and feel just at peace. That's what I want for people. 65 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:15,000 That can scare people who don't have peace. And at the same time, she, I believe 100% in the same truth, peace is the foundation. And when you don't have that foundation set, it can be scary because you don't have anything to fall back on. 66 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:22,000 When the momentary feelings of something like happiness, it can be fleeting, disappear, you know, when somebody in your life passes away. 67 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:33,000 That's, that's meaningful to you and you don't have peace. That's where you end up typically turning to a vice to bridge the gap, you know, or down, down dark spaces that, that create more turmoil in your life. 68 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:44,000 So I happen to agree wholeheartedly with you on it. I'm grateful that you're an advocate for it. What's your personal vision for you, Keri? What do you want to see for yourself over the next five or 10 years? 69 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:57,000 I, I want to get to where I know that I spend an equal or a balanced amount of time serving people, helping people get to this place where they're moving the garbage out of their lives and feeling peace. 70 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:16,000 I want to balance that with time with my kids and grandkids and having both coexist in a balanced way so that while I'm with kids and grandkids, I'm not worried about this piece over here falling apart. And when I'm in this piece of working through my business and working with clients, that that feels good. 71 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:28,000 I'm not worried about what's happening over here with kids and grandkids and travel. I have to put a plug in for travel because that's huge too, to me. So that has, that's a, that's a big part of my vision in the next few years too. 72 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:39,000 I see that. I see that vision behind you. That, that sign as an analytic, I was like, that is a really cool sign. It will play mind games with me every day because it says Honolulu 400 miles that way. 73 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:47,000 And then it says, oh, it says 4,730. That was like, where could you go in the world to get to each of the, oh, it says 4,780. There we go. 74 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:59,000 This is my, this is my happy place. This is what I love to be around. And on the wall that you can't see that way, but I can see is my pictures of visiting Machu Picchu and other beach trips. 75 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000 Where is that sign from? Do you know the one behind you? Like where? 76 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:15,000 Pottery barn, pottery barn teen, I think. Like 15 years ago, it was in my daughter's room. And then when she moved out and I had extra rooms in my house, I got to create an office and I put it up right here. 77 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:24,000 So I would love to know where in the world like that sign actually is. Yeah, where in the world? I don't know. I think they made it up. So maybe, maybe, I don't know. 78 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:34,000 The math is starting to make more sense to me now with that 4,000. So, but I love it. It's fun. It reminds me of Mexico where they have a lot of those types of signs on the beaches. 79 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:45,000 And yes, travel is healing. It's wonderful. It's eye opening. And so I'm glad that you mentioned that. And as far as balance goes, let's talk about balance a little bit. 80 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:59,000 So there's different ways to define it and look at it. Some people see it as like, okay, well, everything in life has to be equal. People see it in different fashions. I have my own theory on it. What does balance mean to you? 81 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:11,000 You know, it's interesting because it's not an equal. It's not like I get equal time with kids and grandkids and travel and equal time in work and that feels good. I think it's recognizing that, okay, this needs more of my attention right now. 82 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:28,000 And I'm, I'm happy to give that because in January, I'm completely checking out and I'll be gone for 10 days and that's going to feel really good. But they're not, they're not necessarily equal, but getting to a place where it feels good to be able to manage all of it at one time. 83 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:48,000 I like that. That goes right in hand with my favorite analogy on the subject. Thank you, Jake Larson, by the way, for guiding me to it. But there's this awesome talk lecture on plate spinners and the balance act of plate spinning and how sometimes one particular plate needs more attention than others. 84 00:17:48,000 --> 00:18:06,000 And that could be a quick, you know, the equivalent of a wayward son or daughter where you need to spend more time, focus on that particular relationship at any given time, rather than trying to make sure that every single plate spin on those sticks is equally attended to. 85 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:30,000 So cool. We were aligned on that as well. So anybody who's listening in, you know, maybe consider writing your list of balances. You know, what, what things are you trying to balance in life? As you get a list that can often help alleviate some of the pressure of just knowing what's, what irons are in the fire, what things you have to attend to in life. And then you can maybe work on your priorities from there. 86 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:46,000 So Carrie, what's your worst business experience ever? So visionaries who are like looking to start their ventures or maybe in the middle of it, this can be very helpful for them to know like, I'm not alone and how hard this really is. 87 00:18:46,000 --> 00:19:04,000 Yeah, it can be so, so challenging. I would say that the worst ever came before I was in this business. I chose, I got led and picked, I believe, to do what I'm doing now by no, not my own doing. But when I was in real estate and things just got so unmanageable. 88 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:20,000 So many people asking for my time, needing my time, demanding from me so much out of balance, masculine energy of hustle, go, create, achieve, accomplish, coerce, overcome. 89 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:41,000 And it felt so terrible. It felt so terrible that I just knew that I could not do that long term. I couldn't maintain a long term and I didn't have any of the tools that I have now and so much programming that I didn't have that I now choose into that I didn't have then. 90 00:19:41,000 --> 00:20:00,000 Like I couldn't, I couldn't institute boundaries. I couldn't separate what other people thought from what I thought and that what I thought about myself is more important than what other people think of me. Like all of these things. I didn't have those tools and I was just a big mess and I left. 91 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000 I quit. 92 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000 I figured out what was next because that was not sustainable long term. 93 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:23,000 So in that case, there's so much I want to talk to you on that because between the stock market and the masculinity, right, that coercion and all that and the real estate market, people do struggle to even realize that they're not being authentic. 94 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,000 Yeah. 95 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:31,000 The way that they hustle and grind to move life forward. But I'm going to skip that. What's your best experience in business? 96 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:54,000 So I had I've had a few of several of these days since then, but I remember having a day where our business was getting off the ground. I had had two individual clients, a teenager, and then a mom going through some stuff and I had at that stage of the game in working through our business feeling like, 97 00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:12,000 okay, we just made we just made some progress and I got to work with these two people who needed my help and I helped them. I saw their lives. I saw their faces, their bodies changed and I got in the car and I use Marco Polo a lot with my partner and I just Marco Poloed my partners and I was like, you guys, this is the best day. 98 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:28,000 Like it's coming together. This is happening. The things that I'm supposed to be doing are happening and I want more days like this more days where I am able to create and serve people and watch people's lives change sitting in front of me. 99 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:48,000 So I'm fortunate that I've had more of those days since then but that one sticks out in my mind as being because we started our business just before COVID. We signed a lease on a building and so for six months into our collective business, we had signed a lease and so it was it had been a struggle. 100 00:21:48,000 --> 00:22:03,000 There was just struggle after struggle in that and so having this one day that felt so good and so like I was living my purpose felt so right that I was like, yep. Okay, I'm going to keep going so that I keep having more days like this. 101 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:20,000 I love that. That's that realization that we don't have a constant fireworks show going off at every moment of every day and that's not natural. This is probably not a natural way to live. It would be fairly exhausting. 102 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:36,000 There are entities that pull that off, you know, like Six Flags or like SeaWorld where they literally have a fireworks show, you know, every night that they're open and at the same time that moment right is an hour, hour and a half at most. 103 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:45,000 It's still not the day to day reality. So I think a lot of people get stuck with imagining that's what life's all about. It's constant fireworks. 104 00:22:45,000 --> 00:23:01,000 Constant highs. Yeah, I live there. Yeah, exactly. But it is cool that you're preparing, you know, you caught that vision to realize, oh, wow, I can have these more often, you know, in my business and that is that is a fun experience when you get to have that. 105 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:13,000 So in order to get there, there's probably some powerful lessons that you've come to realize about yourself, about life, the one you shared about your worst business experience ever. That was huge in and of itself. 106 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:21,000 What's another powerful lesson that you'd like other visionaries to be aware of that can help them based on your experience? 107 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:29,000 I think it's super, super important to be in the space of being a creator and not a reactor. 108 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:44,000 Because so unless you're really paying attention, so many people live in the space of just making quick decisions, quick reactions and just reacting to what life throws them rather than setting out for yourself what you want to create. 109 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:54,000 This is what I want this to look like. And I've had so many powerful experiences of feeling like, OK, I'm a little out of control. I just have to wait. I don't know what's going to happen next. 110 00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:03,000 And then I remember, OK, I get to create this, which is why I remember that day so clearly thinking telling the universe in my creative space. 111 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:18,000 I want more days like this. I want you to send me more days just like this. So creating when we were we were moving buildings and looking for a larger space and it was feeling a little like we weren't we weren't hitting the mark. 112 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:32,000 And three of us sat down together and we wrote out this is exactly what we need in our next space. And not kidding, the next day, our real estate agent called us back and said, I know you already looked at this space, but I have a couple more ideas. 113 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Will you come see it again? And I knew in that moment that because we'd gotten so specific about what we wanted and needed that before we even got there, we knew this is the right space for us. This is going to work this time. 114 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:56,000 So I just would encourage people to be really creative in what you want and take that power. Hold on to that power and don't just wait for external circumstances to fall into place. 115 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:07,000 And it's not a hustle. It's not the hustle culture that I left from real estate, but it's really being in an intuitive, creative space, paying attention to what's going on. 116 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000 But what do you need and what do you want to see moving forward? 117 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000 I love that intuitive. 118 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000 These words again, if these are new words to you, please look them up. 119 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:35,000 You know, get it. Make sure that you you take the space, the time to understand it because carries unlocking phenomenal truths right now for what it is you're up to. And that when I say visionary, I'm not just talking about entrepreneurs and people who have clear visions. 120 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:44,000 I'm talking about everybody in the world. Every single person has a vision for their life. You know, you have guidance in your heart and mind. 121 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:56,000 And so and we ignore that oftentimes. But I'm going to highlight what Carrie said. She said creators rather than reactors are looking at what I want. 122 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:08,000 Right. What is it that I want as that creator? I'll give you some symptoms that are out there right now. Right. If you're chasing chat GPT because somebody else told you that you need it. 123 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:25,000 You're not creating what you want. If you're chasing tick tock, if you're chasing. So if you're going after something because somebody else has convinced you that it's valuable or important, you might want to pause, take a pull over and stop and think. 124 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:36,000 OK, what do I actually want for my business? We also lie to ourselves. We all do it. You know, I know it's a triggering word for a lot of people. 125 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:45,000 But when we say I need X, Y or Z, like 99 percent of time, we don't need it. You know, we're just kind of demanding the universe provides it. 126 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:56,000 And that's also a dangerous game because now you're trying to control the outcome. And oftentimes you will receive that outcome, even though it's not necessarily in your best interest. 127 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:14,000 So when we talk about intuition, you know, realizing how to decipher your wants and needs and to move past the immediate want or need of that hamburger or that ice cream versus what's going to help make my life more holistically. 128 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,000 I'm going to this is a really challenging question, Kerry. What what are some tips and tricks? 129 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:30,000 How do people slow down, get out of their own way and start to really start to feel their creator within them and follow that over all the noise? 130 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,000 So I one of the things so you do have to take some time away from the noise. 131 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:57,000 So one facet of our business is really, really like huge, huge chunk is meditation. And so spreading that out into the space of calming the noise, slowing down your environment or pulling yourself out of all of the crazy and being able to see and really sit with. 132 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:06,000 Does this feel good in the short term or is this going to be a long term? So if I look out three to five years, is this thing right now going to matter? 133 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:14,000 And then make your decision based on that. But then also really intentionally going into each day with. 134 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:29,000 Here's what I want to create today, and I have all kinds of like time management stuff and and prioritization and tools like that to look at what is most important today so that I don't get caught up in what's way less important. 135 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:47,000 But sometimes we waste our time on those things because the things that need our attention cause us a little bit of fear or unintentional procrastination because there's some fear involved with moving forward on those things that actually will move the needle in our business or in our lives. 136 00:28:47,000 --> 00:29:16,000 So I really like my foundation is make sure that you what in whatever way meditation works for you, whether that is walking, being outside in nature, if it's you know your exercise, if it is sitting in your car with nothing on for 10 minutes, or if it's a traditional sitting on your couch with music playing and you're able to check out for 30 minutes, any of those kind of things so that you get better at tuning in to your internal compass. 137 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:34,000 Because sometimes that people don't. They are just not attached to that, because the world is so noisy and so stressful. They have no idea what their inner compass, their higher power whatever they choose to call it is telling them and guiding them towards, but figuring out what 138 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:49,000 practice you can put into your life so that this inner compass, higher power is louder than everything else and you can really tune in and let that guide you to what is authentically supposed to be a part of your life or your business. 139 00:29:49,000 --> 00:30:02,000 Oh, I love that that higher compass and helping it become louder than than the world. Right that that takes some serious exercise you you empowered me just now and I'm grateful for this. 140 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:15,000 One thing that that came to mind as you talked about that was the fact that like well, I was thinking of young kids and myself right we all justify this, like, but I can learn so much on my phone, and on through YouTube and through constant interaction 141 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:35,000 with things right and that my challenge to anybody who's facing that that reality is to flip the question and say what I'm going to tell myself today and I'm actually going to do this is, what do I learn what can I learn without being plugged in, because we often think that 142 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:50,000 there's really nothing out of it we're not listening we're not looking right so I love to go on walks. That's my meditation I'm glad you said it, you know I'm not a sit here and think about it doesn't me, you know as much, but I do that too. 143 00:30:50,000 --> 00:31:06,000 However, if I can leave my phone here, right and go for that walk. What I challenge you to do is what I'm going to do is, I'm going to take an inventory after that five or 10 minute walk when it's probably 10, I'll set it for five I'll go for 10. 144 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:24,000 And then I'm gonna come back and journal, what did I learn in that 10 minute experience, where did my brain and my heart take me during that time, because we, we just don't make the space to often evaluate or appreciate that activity of solitude. 145 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:40,000 And I would say that it's also a very cumulative is that the right way to say that experience that one time, you may feel like I didn't get anything out of that. Okay, 110 minute, you might not get it, you got a nice calm walk. 146 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:56,000 Another 10 minute you might not get anything out of it but as you compound those experiences, you get more and more out of it, your nervous system becomes calmer, your nervous system calms down so that you don't, so that you get out of that space of 147 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:13,000 reacting knee jerk knee jerk explanations or responses to kids coworkers things like that. And when you calm down your nervous system you're spending less time in that fight or flight, so that you can actually authentically respond the way you want. 148 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:34,000 And that's to me one of the hugest benefits of practices over and over again. So 10 minutes today, and for the rest of the month, you're going to be different a different version of you. After 30 days of just 10 minutes a day, then you are right now and you won't be able to put your finger on it, but I promise that it happens. 149 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:50,000 And it's just so good, so good for us. When you might and that's where that coaching goes into play right that's Carrie I'm so glad you unlocked that too because the walk right that's one exercise in the experience is but an unplugging, that's an if you think about that word 150 00:32:50,000 --> 00:33:13,000 exercise, you have to do multiple times for the strength to be able to develop. But if you're also walking with the intent of learning, you've added a new exercise and that and if you're also walking with the intent of journaling afterwards. Well you're journaling on day one is going to be less of a mind exercise than after you've done it 30 days in a row and built up those muscles. 151 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:30,000 So all of those, all those habits that are starting to form. You know you might, you might feel the difference right away. You might recognize it. But what Carrie can't predict what I can't predict what nobody else can is, how many of these elements have you already put in place in your life. 152 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:44,000 You know to make that experience as special as it can be. The more prepared you are the stronger you are the more you're going to get out of things that's that's a reality so if you're overwhelmed or intimidated by that reality. 153 00:33:44,000 --> 00:34:00,000 Don't, my, my, my invitation is don't be right just start, you know you're not in a, I'm not a better spot than you carry something that's not to me. We're in the spots, we need to be in. And if we can leverage these types of exercises and tools. 154 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:15,000 We don't know how far we can go how much peace we can develop in our life. So, just, I don't know I'm just I'm just grateful for what you did for me there. I'm going to use it. I love to remind people that there's no wrong way. If your intent is, I need to, I need a time out. 155 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:31,000 I need to be in my mind and body, and you, my mind my spirits, my brain. 156 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:50,000 I'm just requesting my watch off. Do those things to just give yourself a few minutes, your mind, your brain to just settle, and we manage and keep so much stress. If we're not actively trying to release it and manage it and going into meditation walking 157 00:34:50,000 --> 00:35:04,000 and exercise those all those things allow our body to release the stress that we just automatically consume and get into our minds and our bodies on a daily basis so releasing those is huge. 158 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:09,000 I love that you mentioned taking the watch off. I absolutely love that. 159 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:21,000 I love the things you triggered that I almost forgot to say, and I know it's by divine alignment that we're supposed to talk about it now because I don't have a Fitbit or anything of the nature. This is just a rubber band. 160 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,000 And I wear it for a different reason. 161 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:41,000 I've wanted a Fitbit. Marketing has convinced me in the world that I need one of those cool rings or I need a Fitbit, something where I can unplug but track, and I did the calorie counting for a while. I did it for about four months, and I felt awful. 162 00:35:41,000 --> 00:36:00,000 And I realized and it came to I came to realization that I wasn't listening to my body. I was listening to an app that wasn't with me 24 seven and what I was doing and so here was counting calories as a non expert, trying to make sure that I was doing the right thing for my health. 163 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:14,000 And it just, it just taught me what it was like, this is never going to work without expert guidance. Like this is not healthy. I need to go back to listening to my body and sure enough my health improved by plugging from that app. 164 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:32,000 So, well I want my steps counted, and I want to be like everybody else in that regard and I want to use these apps that will make sure that I am external forces will make sure that my internal is working properly that's not how it works so what you just said like 165 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:46,000 I need to watch off like, again, I need that on that liberation myself to to realize like whoa, it's not the external. Yeah, yeah, and it can feel really uncomfortable at first, like this didn't. 166 00:36:46,000 --> 00:37:05,000 Especially to me when I first started meditating and leaning into these practices, it wasn't. It felt a little wonky, I will be honest, and sometimes weren't as good as others and then other times when I was really able to connect and feel, and it, I could tell that 167 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:21,000 it was giving me a better version of myself then I was like yeah, now I can listen to my internal cues, more than external cues. And that's just so that just makes life feel better and more authentic you're able to blow off those things that are trying to tell you 168 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:27,000 that you're not enough you're not good enough you need to do better you need to do more. 169 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:38,000 So I'm feeling I'm feeling like I'm showing up as the best version of myself. I love this you have nurtured my soul quite well today. And I look forward to our lifelong friendship. 170 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:47,000 I'd like to take a few minutes to dive into your brand a little bit, and just hear you talk about it so tell us about mine, my mind and body collective. 171 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,000 And I'll let you lead that why just share my screen. 172 00:37:51,000 --> 00:38:00,000 So we are, I have, there's four of us working together now, and we do classes in person but we also have an online class. 173 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:17,000 A one night a week online class for people who find us and would like to be involved. We provide opportunities for you to connect with our practitioners, us individually to work through your individual issues. 174 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:29,000 We all have, we all have stuff so classes are a great place to come and learn meditation dip your toes in, go through an experience with other people who are doing the exact same thing. 175 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:34,000 Sound classes sound healing breath work meditation, she gone. 176 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:55,000 Different things like that I teach a yoga class we have a Kundalini yoga class, different classes, all with the intent to help you start reconnecting to yourself and feeding your soul and realizing that what you have is within that we're here to help guide you. 177 00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:07,000 But we are not the people who are going to give you a prescriptive. This is what you should do I think you should do this. When I'm in my sessions with people it's so much about questions. 178 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:17,000 What are you feeling. Okay, as you tell me about that experience what did that, what did that feel like to you how did you feel like in that moment. When did you when did you first notice that, and we dig into those kind of things. 179 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:25,000 As a collective, we are practitioners, and we provide classes we provide online support. 180 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:43,000 Our Tuesday night classes two hours long. So if you just joined and came to Tuesday night classes and had an online session with somebody that would be such a huge boost to your mental emotional spiritual health that I can't even really put it into words, but that's what 181 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:49,000 we're here to do with our classes and our individual sessions with people. 182 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:56,000 Heavily based and it looks like this is not just for women but also for men. Oh, for sure. Yes. 183 00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:08,000 Go ahead, are one of our partners Jerry teaches the Wednesday night class and it's the one, it's full. It's, it's not online so it's for people who live near around Ogden. 184 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:26,000 So, our location is in Ogden, Utah, we get people from Salt Lake tree mountain, sometimes Davis County for different events. And, but we do have our online classes and online support and several of our practitioners are able to do one on one sessions 185 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:35,000 online as well so it's available for anybody who needs some mental emotional physical healing support. 186 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:47,000 I think that's awesome. Well, looks like you have a great team and a great process and program so for those who are interested, feel free to reach out to carry and connect with their whereas the, whereas the preferred place to connect with you if somebody 187 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,000 wanted to reach out one on one. 188 00:40:50,000 --> 00:41:04,000 You can easily find me on Facebook. Carrie Anderson, I believe, I think I changed it finally after 35 years I changed my maiden name to my married name. So, Carrie Anderson on Facebook. 189 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:17,000 I believe there's a form on one of those websites that people can send us messages or on Instagram as my mind body collective calm, or my mind body collective on Instagram, and we always see our messages there. 190 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:26,000 Very good. Is there anything, anything else you'd like to add to the audience I'll if not I'll, I'll ask for one more power lesson because I've just I really enjoyed the session. 191 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,000 I've gotten a lot out of it myself so anything else you'd like to share. 192 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:46,000 I think I would love for people to begin learning that what they think about themselves is more important than what the world thinks of you. And if you can spend time managing that aspect when I when I meet with people so often, their self esteem is low 193 00:41:46,000 --> 00:42:04,000 their feelings of self love are so low. And that causes so many other problems because when you feel good about you, and you recognize that your opinion, your, how you feel about you matters so much, then you're able to let so much garbage go without 194 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000 rocking your world. 195 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:20,000 I love that. That is another hour on that. But there you go. Well you could and and with the visionary entrepreneurs I work with I can't I can't work with people I cannot help people whose, whose voice comes from other people's heads. 196 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:34,000 You know, they've got to have their own vision of what they do, otherwise it won't work. There's there's no way to grow somebody who doesn't know who they are, what they stand for, what their purposes, and so getting that figured out is incredibly valuable and 197 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:47,000 important and oftentimes that means learning to drown the noise out of those who have defined you in life so what a beautiful message. Vision pros we hope you've enjoyed this episode we look forward to seeing you on the next on the next show. 198 00:42:47,000 --> 00:43:04,000 As you feel free to feel free to comment on the show if you have questions leave them there, we'll make sure Carrie gets them. And we've also dropped in the comments links to her resources, indulge fully, and those opportunities, if it helps quiet the noise and unlock 199 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:14,000 your, your soul and help you align with your more inner authentic self so Carrie thanks for being here today we appreciate it.
