The Journey of Authentic Living and Fearless Self-Expression

Dive into us with one of our *favorite topics* ... LIVING AUTHENTICALLY. Speaking authentically, existing authentically, embodying authenticity.

In a world often filled with noise, distractions, and superficiality, there's a beautiful flow in living authentically, from the depths of our hearts. It's about more than just presenting a curated version of ourselves to the world—it's about daring to be real, vulnerable, and unapologetically true to who we are at our core.

Authentic, heart-centered living isn't always the easiest path to take. It requires courage—the courage to embrace our imperfections, the courage to speak our truth even when it's uncomfortable, and the courage to live in alignment with our deepest values and passions, even if it means swimming against the tide of societal expectations.

But oh, the rewards of such a life are immeasurable. When we choose authenticity, we open ourselves up to genuine connections—with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. We invite in love, empathy, and understanding, creating a ripple effect of positivity and authenticity that touches everyone we encounter.

Living from the heart means honoring our intuition, our passions, and our unique gifts. It means letting go of the need for external validation and finding validation from within. It means listening to the whispers of our souls and following the path that lights us up from the inside out.

We share real moments in this episode of what it feels like when we do live from an authentic place and what it feels like when we don't, because of course we have moments where we feel misaligned with our authenticity, we're all human.

So let's make a commitment—to ourselves and to each other—to embrace authenticity in all its raw, messy, beautiful glory. Let's live from the heart, with courage, compassion, and unwavering integrity. For in doing so, we not only enrich our own lives but also inspire others to do the same. 💖

What's up everyone. Welcome to Mindfully Moody. I am Sarah. I'm here with my best friend and co-host, hannah, and it's feeling like it's been a while or something that we've recorded. I feel like it hasn't even been that long, but I just feel like this freshness of like energy and excitement and elevation to come here and get to talk with you. So we're excited for this episode. We have been recording podcasts for over two years now to almost two and a half years, so we have so many episodes. So if this is the first time you're listening, go and check out some of our other episodes. Let us know what resonates with you and, yeah, let's get into it. What's up, hannah? What's new? What's up?

Speaker 2: 0:53

We're recording in the morning too. So I feel like normally we record in the afternoon, we're both having our coffee in our hands and we're just. I'm just better in the morning. Honestly, I feel, yeah, I feel so happy and just so I'm in like a really good part of my cycle right now. So I'm just like energized and like, anyways, I wanted to just chat because I feel like, yeah, I feel like we haven't like okay, we literally talk every day, but I'm like I haven't like talked to you. How are you? I'm so excited because I get to see you in a week.

Speaker 1: 1:26

I know less than a week now.

Speaker 2: 1:28

Oh my God, we'll be together like literally in one week, we'll be together walking on the beach right now in Florida.

Speaker 1: 1:34

Oh my God. Actually, 100% we will be. I can't believe it. I'm so excited. So it's going to be my bachelorette party y'all next weekend, and I'm so excited. All the girls are coming. I was just telling my trainer this morning. I was like, yeah, all my closest friends are coming, like literally coming from Texas, Colorado, California, Hawaii, New York worldwide literally all over, all over. I love that. I'm like you guys are so cool, you know it's going to be so fun.

Speaker 2: 2:10

I was thinking that too. Like we haven't like for you, like we haven't like had people like come in from all over the places, because, like you brought people together when we were all like in in the Bay Area, right, like we would always go on trips and like go to Tahoe or like whatever go do like weekend trips, but like we've never like gone, all, like met in a specific place and it's going to be so fun, especially because I haven't like seen the other girls too.

Speaker 2: 2:34

Like I know at it back in our 20s or you're reliving.

Speaker 1: 2:39

We're taking a back to 25. Baby, let's go, maybe not 25. 25 we were in the well, I want to say we were in the trenches, but like we were I mean, I don't know something like you just stepped out, though, and it's like you weren't in the trenches anymore you were, you were uplifted.

Speaker 2: 3:00

Oh my gosh, I cannot wait. Oh, I'm so excited. It's just so fun. So we're gonna have so much fun. We're going to Miami. We're going to celebrate Sarah's last days being single Single technically, not really, but single.

Speaker 1: 3:15

Yeah, I can't believe it. I can't believe tomorrow will be three months until my wedding and I can't believe. I can't believe that. I can't believe I'm getting married. I can't believe I'm like taking this big step in my life. I mean, in some ways it feels like we're already married. You know, we live together now, we work together, like all of these. We literally never get away from each other.

Speaker 2: 3:43

Yeah, you're signing it.

Speaker 1: 3:45

Sign and seal it. But this is like, this is serious. You know, this is like a really big not only just you know whatever American society system, shit, but also like energetically, like it's just a different energetic experience to have someone be your husband versus your fiance or your boyfriend.

Speaker 2: 4:07

So it's crazy, I know. I feel like we actually haven't really talked about like the wedding. We should have an episode on this or something like the like transition energetically, like going from fiance to wifey.

Speaker 1: 4:24

Totally, totally. I would love to do an episode on it because it is like a difference for sure, and you know I'm curious how I'll feel after we're married, you know. But it just feels like, you know, I don't know, just this shift in a direction, a deepening I would say in that, like connection. I don't even know how to describe it, it's hard to put into words, you know.

Speaker 1: 4:57

Yes, but I'm ready, I'm ready, he's ready, I think he is ready. He's ready, we're ready. You know, it feels like we've been together, you know, a long time now. It feels like this is this is the right time to do it, and I'm so glad that we're doing it in Florida and the way that it's happening. It's just like everything fell into place as it was meant to.

Speaker 2: 5:21

It always does right, it always ends up perfectly. Like just the fact that you guys even moved back to Florida. You found the perfect place for your wedding. Like the energy you both are feeling in your life and in your relationship, like it's just alignment.

Speaker 1: 5:37

It's beauty Alignment, alignment, incredible.

Speaker 2: 5:40

Okay, also I need to ask you Sarah has been on her nail game and I'm noticing her nail game in the video. Did you get this Like? Was there something on Pinterest where you found this style? I can't really see it.

Speaker 1: 5:55

When you came up with this yourself. So it's like no, it's a cat eye. This is cat eye Crazy. I didn't think this is what cat eye looked like. I considered it like you know, where they have like black and like yellow mixed or like something like that. But, it's like this sparkly purple underneath, and then they take that little tool that I don't understand how it works. You've seen this.

Speaker 2: 6:17

No, no, okay, you don't even know what it is.

Speaker 1: 6:19

Okay, they take some little tool and they like put it over top. I don't know if it like reflects or like what it does. It doesn't even touch it, it just like floats over and it like pulls out like a different kind of shade. Oh, I'm obsessed. It's some sort of reaction, thank you, and I think I'm gonna. I have to be going into the bachelorette with the freshest nails, so I'm actually gonna get like a new. My nails are different Way, I think, before Miami.

Speaker 2: 6:51

Yeah, you guys are like what if they get? What, what if they get? Crusty while I'm there. You know it's like I got a. I.

Speaker 1: 6:59

Gotta get them fresh, so I'm getting them done on Tuesday. I think I'm gonna go with like a Neon color, something like maybe like super orange or something like that for Miami vibes cute.

Speaker 2: 7:10

I love yours too, though. Thank you, this is my yes color, like in intuition. I don't know if you ever use colors to like get an answer, but I recently discovered that this is my yes color, and I'm like I need to get that on my nails for Miami, because it's just life has just been a whole lot. Yes, wait, I love it.

Speaker 1: 7:29

I've been man. I mean you. You tried to put me on to this a while ago, but I was just telling my trainer today. She's like, got the old-style gel. I'm like, girl, ditch it hard, it is a waste of money. Hard gel is the way to go, thank you. Finally, I've been telling you for years. I know, I know, but like I never got told about this at a nail salon until this recent salon, like they're not pushing it.

Speaker 2: 7:52

I know and I don't want you to get in there.

Speaker 1: 7:54

They want you to get in there with the chips.

Speaker 2: 7:56

No, literally seriously PSA like. If you want your nails to grow long and strong and be healthy, get hard down, literally.

Speaker 1: 8:04

They don't break. It's the only way to go.

Speaker 2: 8:07

They don't shit, they don't break. You're literally a hot girl permanently.

Speaker 1: 8:11

I get complimented on my nails every single way. My trainer took a picture this morning.

Speaker 2: 8:16

She's like I need to get those nails Just having your nails, having my nails done just makes me feel so much like just together, like yeah, you know on this, much.

Speaker 1: 8:27

I mean, I always had gel, but like you know there's something about Having longer nails. You know it's just giving. I'm a feminine queen, you know it's just just giving us giving, it is for sure, giving.

Speaker 2: 8:42

Um. I, okay, just got back from a seven-day retreat in Guatemala and I'm just like glowing, energized, excited, renewed, all of the things and this topic came up that I wanted to talk about like related to authenticity, and like just being yourself and like letting your, your heart and your voice shine. Because you know, at retreats, like things come up, like triggers come up, like people Take up space and then that triggers things in you. And I just like noticed that about myself, like About authenticity, and like I truly desire to be my most authentic self in every single place in my life, like in Relationships, in friendships, showing up on this podcast, being the most authentic version of myself Speaking on a stage, being the most authentic version of myself, like in all aspects. And I started to notice at this retreat that like I'm really showing up authentically in like a lot of areas which I love and it feels so good. But then there are some spots, like in some conditions, where it's like maybe I'm holding back or I'm not fully showing my full self because I'm trying to be portrayed as a certain way, even like on the podcast. I think I do that sometimes, like when there's the heart chakra or like the, the throat chakra, is being blocked, be you know, because there are fears of some sort like that can prevent me from like truly, just like saying the things that I want to say. And like like a lot of times, like trying to like Like say the perfect thing. Like you know, when you're in like a circle I like a woman circle or something or you're like at some event and like you're going around and like people are like you know you have like a prompt or something that you need to say, and like you're already like figuring out what you're gonna say in your head and you're not actively listening. Yes, it's like You're now focusing on how you can perform rather than just like what is coming from the heart. So that was coming up so much for me, and I just wanted to have an open conversation today on the podcast of like I Don't know, maybe, what we both experience when it comes to showing up authentically in these different areas and Like things that maybe you do and that I do, that we can that really like tap us into that Authenticity, like being truly authentic and like in all aspects? Hey, beauty queens, I'm gonna take a quick break from the episode to tell you about my new free mini course, called from passion to profit.

Speaker 1: 12:27

Mmm. Oh yes, this is. You know. I feel like we've talked about this many times in many episodes and it keeps coming up because this is such an important thing in both of our lives as we continue to grow, shift, evolve. I feel like we're literally unlocking new levels of authenticity. Like, if you think back to when we first, you know it's like I literally can say, when we first started, like can group us together in things because we've been so like on, you know, same, on the same path when we first started, like growth journey, like you know, I think that the idea of authenticity and prioritizing yourself and things like that, like it came up but it wasn't nearly like it's really something that has grown for both of us as we've continued in our journeys.

Speaker 1: 13:31

Like when we were back, you know, when we first started the podcast well, even much before the podcast, thinking about mindset and how to shift mindset and all these things, it was a lot of internal work on like you are not your thoughts how we talk to ourselves, dialogue, things like that, and we really had to get a lot of that shit in line and figured out. Yeah, and then, like over time, it's like there was this evolvement to. Okay, now I'm talking to myself, like you know, with more love and I've deepened into this, you know, new mindset and idea that all of these things are possible for me, and now I want to speak that yeah To people. I want to share that with people. Or I'm so comfortable with myself internally that now I need to be my authentic self externally all the time. So I feel like it's been like this, like thinking like of a mountain visual, like we always do, you know, of just this climb, and now authenticity is, I mean, basically the most important thing 100%.

Speaker 2: 14:37

I love the way you explain that so much. And even to drive it home more, I want to like say a visual, because this is what's coming up when you're saying that, like when we first started the podcast like, think of it as like a garden, like you're a farmer and you have like a garden. Like we were just focusing on like, what soil did we need? Like, what kind of seeds did we want to plant? Like how often we do, do we need to water it? Like, did we need to till the soil up? Right? Like we were focusing on the details of like how we can get the structure right and in terms of like, what do we need to let go? What do we need to do? Like really focusing on like the details. And now I feel like we're in a space where, like, the seeds are planted, they're growing and, at this rate, we're just watering the plants and we're just like blooming and flowering and becoming more and more beautiful over time, and not physically, but like, energetically, like, and that's what authenticity is Like. The more authentic you are, I find, like, the more and more connected you are to your what, your higher self, or you know the, the person that you desire to be like, just the more beautiful that becomes. And I'm realizing that, like with connections, like we had to do like we had to do presentations in front of everyone at the retreat, like five minute presentations.

Speaker 2: 15:51

You know me, I like hate doing presentations in the past. Like makes me so nervous because I'm so focused on what other people are, how other people are gonna perceive me. Like am I gonna come off in a certain way? But it's like when I was taking moments to like come from my heart and like just like speak, like who I am and like you know, use funny parts of me, like make people laugh and like really showing up in that love state, like I am shining and people are reflecting that back to me. Like oh my gosh, you did so good.

Speaker 2: 16:20

Like all these things. Compared to like a version of me in the past who would like try to study and say everything perfect and like hit all the notes and like make sure all of my ducks are in roll. It's like people aren't resonating with how I'm sounding as much because it is inauthentic, right, it's not coming out as naturally and authentically and vulnerably so like it's just like proof. Like I'm gathering evidence of proof of like. When you are more authentic and like really speak from the heart and what you need to say, like people who are meant for, you will feel that and, yeah, like just resonate with it even more Like the people that you really want in your life.

Speaker 1: 17:02

You can totally tell when someone is speaking from that place, when someone is existing from that place. I mean, it depends on how you know sensitive you are to like people's energy. But I feel like if I'm in the grocery store, like I can feel if someone is even living their life from that place. You know, because it's so powerful, it radiates out of you but it also radiates into you.

Speaker 1: 17:31

You know, and there's this experience where you just are elevating, you're elevating yourself and you're elevating other people, and it's really Interesting, like, if I go back and think about how did I first start to identify, you know, what even was authentic for me, what it when was like the moment that I first started realizing like this is what it feels like to speak from the heart versus not. This is what it feels like to own my truth or not, and I just feel like it. It was a very gradual process and I just want to share with people. Like, for a long time, I don't think that I spoke from my heart.

Speaker 1: 18:22

I don't think that I lived my life authentically, because no one ever told me what that even meant or how to do that. Or you know, like what, I never had anyone even say that to me. Like, are you speaking from your heart? I mean, there was the only thing that you would hear people say like in society. You know, I'd love to take it back to like that kind of thing is like, you know, oh, you know, deepening into your heart, or what's the, what's the phrase that I'm trying to like lead with your heart, or is it your head or your heart? You know what is your heart telling you. But I feel like that is even kind of like in society, like people still aren't really leaning into that.

Speaker 1: 19:03

You know, I feel like it really took for me developing such a deep understanding of myself and what my soul held versus what my ego or my mind held, you know, and not getting caught up in all of that I had to do so much work about, like the ego, the brain, the mind, how all of that is just playing a trick on us, to even get to the point that I was like, oh, this is who I am authentically Like. Do you agree? What do you feel in that?

Speaker 2: 19:44

Oh, 100%. I was going into this, like doing some journaling on this, and it's like I feel like the more you know who you are, like deep down at your core and like have this like just undeniable confidence in who this person is on the inside, the more authentic you could be. And that takes time, right, like going through shit, hurt, going through hurt, going through pain, understanding what your values are like. And I think that's probably for me, why I felt that I wasn't authentic a lot, very authentic in the past, because I really didn't know who I was, because I was painted my my envisioning my life like on a canvas, like the canvas was painted by society's terms and like by other people's terms, like what I thought I should be Right. And then I went through things. I did the healing work. I still do the healing work.

Speaker 2: 20:41

You start to get to know yourself over time, like that's why I always think, like the hardest times in life are this the most beautiful, because it just teaches you so much about yourself and what's important to you and your values. But I think over time you start to learn more and more and more about yourself, like what you'll stand for, what your boundaries are, what makes you super excited and lights you up and like energizes you. And like values, like values are so important to, and you start to solidify this self realization about yourself and like, okay, that is me, I know that's important. Self growth was important. Like, right, whatever connections are important, and it gets to be so concrete that then you're like, okay, I know who I am and now I'm going to speak from this voice because I feel so confident in myself. Right, like my solar plexus is wide open. I feel this like power within me and I'm now like ready to speak that to the world.

Speaker 2: 21:33

And I feel like that does take time, right, sometimes, yeah, it takes time to like discover that and like have that Deep knowing and confidence about yourself. Like I won't say that I have this like fully deep knowing. I'm still learning, I'm still growing, but and I'm still like solidifying that I think we're always going to continue. But imagine, I think that's why people say, like our parents, like our 30s are our best, or our 40s are our best, because it's like my mom always says, I think my 40s were my best, because, like I just knew myself the best, like it was the most fun. You know, we continue to just like grow into ourselves, like imagine us at 50, like we're going to be. We're on this path now, like whoa, talk about hot girl shit.

Speaker 1: 22:13

Right, hot girl shit yeah. Hot lady shit, yeah. I totally agree that it's always a work in progress and I just want to say as well, like there are many moments in my life that I still experience where I think that or where I recognize I should say that's not authentic to me. I said something, I did something, I took a step forward, a step back that, like, was not aligned with me and even sometimes I feel it right in the moment, sometimes I feel it afterwards and I think that, like one thing that's coming up for me right now is that I just told someone from my past I won't go into too many details like, oh, let's like they reached out to me and then I'm like, oh, let's do a catch up, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1: 23:09

Instantly I send this message and I'm like, I'm like why did I send that message?

Speaker 1: 23:16

That was inauthentic, that was coming from a place of people pleasing, of past patterns, of feeling like I have to show up for other people because I've shown up for them in the past and they expect me to.

Speaker 1: 23:31

That came from that past version of Sarah that like just did things that I didn't want to do because I felt obligated to, but current Sarah doesn't feel obligated to do anything that she doesn't want to do, including having conversations with people of my past, you know. So it's just interesting, you know, for me to even realize, okay, yeah, why did I do that? And then it's to me, it's a universal reminder. You know, ding, ding, hey, remember, step into your authenticity, like, don't say things that you don't want to do, have boundaries, speak from your heart, and it just allows me to then recognize and that's why I think you know triggers being teachers or whatever phrase you want to put to that is so real. It's like don't get down on yourself If you say something, do something whatever that you are not authentically aligned with. Think of it as a reminder that you get to live a life that you're aligned with and use that to then deepen into your authenticity.

Speaker 2: 24:43

Yes, that is so beautiful and play on the words mindfully, moody, but like you are able to have that skill and recognize that because you are mindful, because you practice so much, and being like wait, hold up, like I'm noticing that doesn't feel good in my body Actually, like that person doesn't fill up my cup. Let me rewire, like just that act of rewiring, like in that moment of like I don't have to do this anymore, like if I I don't have to talk to people I don't want to talk to, I don't have to feel like obligated to, and I love that. I love that example so much.

Speaker 1: 25:22

Yeah, because it's just like a minor thing. You know that happens. Or, you know, sometimes throughout the day at work I'll say something to a client or something that I'm like Okay, maybe I didn't, you know, I didn't want to say it like that, or I wish that I would have said something differently yesterday I so, um, I so confidently this is an interesting example too kind of a different type of example I so confidently told someone something that was actually wrong and I didn't realize it in the more in in the moment, and it was like kind of like a big thing that was actually wrong. And then my mom got got to work and then I told her and she's like okay, yeah, that's not right. And then I like went on this whole thing in my head, like Feeling, like you know, guilty, feeling shame, feeling imposter syndrome, feeling all this anxiety, like I misled someone.

Speaker 1: 26:22

I did all these things you know like, but in the moment I was just authentically caught up in a conversation and I said what I said, right. And then what did we do? Like we reached out to the person and we had integrity and we're authentic about this was something that you know. Let let us clarify basically something that was previously said, and it's like that is a form of my authenticity too, because I never want to mislead someone, so I'm gonna correct myself. The authentic thing for me to do is to reach out to the person and tell them that actually I was incorrect. Yeah, but like the old version of me maybe would have just like let it ride, you know, and been like you know, but for me it feels really authentic to have integrity in everything that I do. So I had to like bite the bullet and like put my ego to the side and say I was wrong. Oh, and that's the thing, like people, make mistakes too.

Speaker 2: 27:16

People are human. We make mistakes. Also, you being in integrity and like still being authentic even when you're correcting the mistake, people feel that like hey, I'm so sorry, like I didn't, you're owning your shit, like I didn't recognize that I had that information wrong, like so sorry about that, like coming with that Authenticity rather than being like oh yeah, like oh no, there was like a mistake on like the back end, like making a lie or something. Right, dude, I live.

Speaker 1: 27:41

I mean, you know how it is like corporate, it's like you're literally always turning like a mistake into like some massive yeah, never being authentic. Just like I was never wrong Must have been the developer.

Speaker 2: 27:55

You're never wrong.

Speaker 1: 27:57

Yeah, like that is so interesting, right like I'm not gonna lie. So interesting right like think about how many years like we probably spent in our lives. Not being authentic about the truth. You know, and God, it's so nice to leave that shit behind. We are humans. That's another part of authenticity. If you don't know something, that's okay.

Speaker 2: 28:22

Oh, what's coming up also is just like working in corporate Like I think that that suck us both in inauthentic states for so long, like I just didn't feel like I could be myself because I wasn't living in integrity, I wasn't living in values, I wasn't doing something that I love doing. Like just, oh, dude, I'm so proud of us that we're just like both out of it. You know, because people are living in these fake days. You know, you show up on your slack call on Monday and people are like, how was your weekend? And you're like it was amazing. It's like, no, I literally was just trying to escape this shit.

Speaker 1: 28:56

Old job, like yeah could have been horrible, could have had like a tragedy happen in your life. You're like it was good. Yeah, just anyone want to go into it. What the hell? Yeah, inauthenticity.

Speaker 2: 29:10

Also like I'm thinking you know right now, like in dating, authenticity is super important Um, of just like being yourself and in just like interactions, like do you know? Like when you're walking out, so you know when you're really feeling yourself, you're vibing, your body's lit up, you're vibrating, I know you know the energy, like it's the sun is shining and you just want to like compliment people. You're like I love that girl's shirt. Oh, like that person's vibe is awesome. Like things are coming up that you want to say. And then when you do say those, like you feel so fucking good, like you don't even care how that person receives it. You're like you look freaking beautiful today, I love. You know you're at Ulta and the girl has like some dope ass makeup and you're like your eyeliner looks like the sickest thing I've ever seen. Like you're just saying it feels so good. But then there's moments like in that, like that energy you're in, and when you're inauthenticity and you're that's when your heart's wide open, you're like I don't care what anyone else asked, like how they react, I'm just here to give that love.

Speaker 2: 30:10

I noticed that there's like also, um, duality to that. Duality to that. Sometimes it's like I have things come up Like I'm feeling super authentic, my heart's open, I want to say things, but then there's like a fear that blocks me. And then I get in my head like, let's say, I see like a cute guy or something at the store and I'm like, damn, like his style looks so cute. I really want to like just compliment him and give him that energy, but then, like the fear blocks me from being authentic and being like starts to go like no, like what if he denies your compliment? Or like what if he like turns you down or rejects you Like.

Speaker 2: 30:42

And I just wanted to note that awareness that, like fear can sneak in and try to blow, block us from being our authentic self. And my goal in life is to like shatter that fear so I can just fully show up and just say what I need to say without needing the approval of anyone else. I think that's a lot, a lot of um. The block that comes up for people when they want to be authentic is like the need for approval and like that can prevent people from actually showing up in authenticity, in authenticity because they want that approval. But when you shattered the need for approval, it's kind of like well, whoever take me, whoever wants me, like take it or leave it, kind of thing.

Speaker 1: 31:25

That is so, so true and such a important part of authenticity, because when you're seeking validation and other people from their reactions or responses or whatever it's like you, are you really being authentic?

Speaker 1: 31:42

Because to me, being truly authentic is I'm saying what I want to say, I'm doing what I want to do, I'm taking the steps that I want to take with regard to me and what other people have to think about it, whether it be your husband, your children, your mom, your friend, your coworker, your boss, whatever that's on them. And I think that that's a big part of getting into authenticity, too, is recognizing like you can't control other people. Other people can't control you. So if everyone just lived as their authentic selves or was able to decipher between what's authentic and what's inauthentic to them, I mean I think the world would be a different place. But you really got to go through some shit to get there. You got to go through the trenches, shadow work, dismantling limiting beliefs, understanding why you are the way you are from your childhood and trying to start rewiring your brain and all these things. I mean it really. This is a lifetime commitment to authenticity.

Speaker 2: 32:58

And just like sometimes it can be super complex, but sometimes it also can be simple, like listen to your heart. Listen to your heart.

Speaker 1: 33:09

I came into my mind too.

Speaker 2: 33:11

When it's calling, it's calling for you what is meant for you.

Speaker 1: 33:16

It's like never one of I ever listened to that song recently, but never, yeah, it's a six with you.

Speaker 2: 33:22

Whatever's meant for you will not miss you Like, yeah, just stay in authenticity, return to your heart space. Be yourself, because the coolest person that you can be is you, and let that show up. Let this authenticity journey expand you into a new reality, because it will.
