Speaker 1:

What is up? Hot babes, and welcome back to your favorite podcast, mindfully Moody. It's Hannah and I'm joined by my bestie, Sarah, and we are here with another hot episode of Mindfully Moody, giving you all the juicy tea, tapping you into your highest self and having a little fun. So thanks for popping back with us this week and we're excited to get into this juicy episode today.

Speaker 2:

Wow, I loved that, Welcome. We are in our silly little era right now and wanting to laugh, have fun, and we just channeled through what do the people want to hear? What do the people want to hear, what do they need from us? And I feel like at this moment in the collective we're recording this right after the clips happened People are like ready for transformation, like I feel that there is this big collective shift towards transformation right now. People are sick of their old lives, they're ready to change and they need to know how to actually change their lives. You guys need to know how to actually change your lives and we want to help you do that. We are going to tell you today how to actually change your life so that you can live the life that you feel that you desire to live, that you are aligned to live.

Speaker 1:

Yes, it's time to change. Stand up and change your life. Damn Hannah and Sarah for president. Let's help people. Let's help these people change their lives. Yes, because life is too short to be living a life that you don't love, that you don't enjoy, that doesn't bring you peace, and the thing that's coming to mind first is recognizing, like that you are feeling some sense of unhappiness. If you want to change your life, there has to be that sense of awareness that, like there's something that about your life that you don't like, that you don't enjoy, that's stealing your peace. And I feel like there are oftentimes red flags, right In the form of anxiety, in the form of depression, in the form of bad relationships, in the form of anxiety, in the form of depression, in the form of bad relationships, in the form of being mistreated right that are always shining in your face saying look at me and you're like I need to change this shit 100%.

Speaker 2:

And I think back to me in my younger life and like when I started to recognize, okay, there are things that I want to change. And it kind of came as like little nudges at first, like, ok, not really enjoying X, y and Z about my life, not enjoying my, my job, not feeling fulfilled in just my lifestyle, like the way that I live my life, my day to dayday routines, things like that not feeling fulfilled in, you know, the way that I eat or how much I move my body or whatever. You know thinking about this at different stages of my life. And it was like little nudges, little nudges. And then it just is like bam, it's in your face and that's where a lot of people are right now of just this mirror looking back at them doing exactly what you're saying, like the recognizing of okay, there is some shit in my life that I need to change.

Speaker 2:

So it's getting clear like what are those glaring things for you? You know, is it you're in a relationship that you're not happy and maybe you've been with your partner for years and you're like trapped in this relationship? We were just talking about that in the hot takes. Um, you know, maybe you're in a job that you hate. How many freaking people do you know in a job that they hate? Because I know so damn many dude, so many. What is up with this? Like this, should we switch episodes? If you are in a job you hate, listen to this damn episode, because stop perpetuating being in a job that you hate.

Speaker 1:

I'm seriously sick and tired of it for you guys you know, what I mean go literally like do some shit, like make some change. Oh, I just make some change. Oh, I just resonate with that so much. I just think like in my life I felt like such a broken record in so many aspects, especially with health.

Speaker 1:

Oh, my gosh, like I don't know how many times me and my mom had the same conversation like okay, so I'm starting to diet, I'm starting a diet like you me and you, dude, like I'm complaining about being fat, overweight, like I'm feeling unhealthy, but then, like the next day, I'm eating like Domino's cheese sticks with you and it's like I'm sick and tired of it, and then like the next day, then, after you eat it, literally crying like with health.

Speaker 1:

So I mean, I finally feel like super happy with where I'm at with my health and I just know it continues to get better. But I think there also comes to a thing of like not only recognizing that you're unhappy in a situation in your life in a particular area, but like sometimes like people just don't know what to do to get out. Like, okay, yeah, I feel like I had like a handbook. Of course I had the internet to tell me all these fad diets that I could do, but I feel like like I didn't actually have the right steps to improve my health and long-lasting actually being healthy, but I just remember literally complaining to my mom, year after year after year after year, literally from middle school I swear from middle school up until probably, like I mean, I still am, yes, up until today this morning.

Speaker 1:

Loki, still am complaining a bit, but less because I'm feeling better.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yes, I mean, it's funny that you say it.

Speaker 2:

With health, I feel the exact same way, like could have just taken the words right out of my mouth directly.

Speaker 2:

My mom always talks to me about me being, you know, in corporate America, like calling her and like trapping her on like an hour, call about like my co-worker that she doesn't know, and like how miserable I am, you know, at work, and she's like you were literally in this environment for so long that you just really really really did not like, but I felt that there was no way out. So it's like, yeah, what is that transition from? Okay, I recognize this and now I'm actually going to do something about it, because so many people never, ever, ever, ever, ever make that leap. They never leave the relationship, they never leave the job, they never move to a new city to try something new, they never get their health figured out, they never get into, you know whatever reading a book, meditating, going on a walk, whatever it is in the way that they actually desire to, because like there's some sort of just thing that does not click for them about. I'm recognizing and now I'm doing it.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I can't wait to see you in there, sending you so much love.

Speaker 1:

It's really interesting like pointing out like what you were saying.

Speaker 1:

It's like the three, like three areas of life that are standing out the most, that feel like most important to me in my life currently.

Speaker 1:

It's like health, relationships and like career, finances, and like I feel like a lot of people are really stuck in their life in those aspects.

Speaker 1:

And I think where we maybe got to the point and for me, and kind of still in the situation with like relation, relationship, romantic relationship, but not really you sometimes like get to this point where you're like I'm so fed up with this situation, like it almost has to come to a boiling point, where you're like I literally cannot deal with this anymore and like you have to take drastic change, like for me like quitting the job right and you quitting your job, or us saying like I am making a change with my health. I'm, I'm investing in money and figuring out how I can make different changes emotionally change like literally get a therapist and like change my mind about how I see things about health. Or, you know, getting a divorce, like leaving a relationship, like I feel. Like a lot of times it takes those drastic changes to say like I'm fucking fed up and I'm done and I will not settle for anything like part of this life anymore.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's reaching a breaking point, reaching a boiling point where it's just like I'm thinking about boiling water in a pot. It's like you're literally starting to boil over, you're bubbling over and you it's like you've been trying to put that lid on the pot for so long that it just burst the lid right the hell off the pot and you're just sick of the life that you've been living. And I think that that is absolutely a massive catalyst to change, to shift in life. I'm also like OK, how else can you actually take action? You know, like do you have, do you think that you have to get to that drastic of a point to actually make a big shift in your life?

Speaker 1:

No, I mean, I don't, I don't think, I don't think. So Let me try to think. Has there been? I guess, for the health for me has been more gradual. Like I'm trying to think about different experiences in my life, like, probably not. Those are just like very monumental moments, the things that were like weighing biggest on me.

Speaker 1:

But if I want to change something in my life, like you don't, you don't need to have a drastic change if it's something smaller. If you're like, damn, I'm always bored all the time. I want to do something more in my free time. I want to find something that feels valuable to how to spend my time. You know, that could be more of a slow burn, like, okay, I'm going to start going to networking events or I'm going to start creating a community, right, but I think it's like again that figuring out like, hey, I notice I'm feeling this way in this specific area and it's not bringing me joy, it's not bringing me happiness, it's not bringing me peace.

Speaker 1:

I desire a different outcome, I desire something better for myself. So what am I going to do to get that? What am I going to do to create something new in my life? And, like I think, for me, I'm a lot in my masculine right. So like taking like actual like steps, like creating a physical plan of like, how am I going to do this? I want friends, ok, what am I going to do this week? Let's get on it.

Speaker 2:

Well, and that's actually, I mean, that's, that's a lot of what you have to do in the beginning, like, if I think of my earlier life and making really big, big shifts. You know, changing my career, you know, making a big decision with my relationship, like doing, you know, making really big, monumental shifts, my health, whatever, getting on a path of. You know health, you know health. I had to make a fucking plan. Yeah, you know it's like, and now I don't make nearly as many plans because I am in a different place in my life where I don't feel that I need to make as many plans. But younger me, 100 percent needed a plan, a strategy, action points. I mean, damn, I had those goal planners that literally made you write shit every single day. You know now I'm triggered by them, but that worked for me. Actually, I'm not triggered by them, I just they don't align with who I am right now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but that that I needed that kind of container. I needed extreme consistency. That's what drove me to actually change my life was this is the direction I want to go. I recognized I'm unhappy. Now I see this is the direction I want to go. I got clear and then I created an action plan on how to get there. And if I never created the action plan, I would not be where I am right now.

Speaker 1:

If I never created the action plan, I would not be where I am right now. Yeah, yeah, it's so interesting because it's like thinking about us like six years ago, okay, like when we first met each other, like compared to who we are now, like we were just, I feel like more out of alignment, like in our values, like in who we were. Like we were probably like more people, like that society told us that we should be. We were on more unhealed versions, so it's like we had to go on a journey to like tap in and become more of ourselves, to even like understand what we want. It's like almost if you're even at that level of like where you don't really even know yourself. It's like you have to go through different things to even discover how you want your life to go.

Speaker 1:

Right, or what makes you happy, like because six years ago us, what made us happy was going out to the bar and getting drunk or like partying you know what I mean. And now, like we prioritize peace, even though, like I remember being in a coffee shop with you and like when we were doing our journals on a Sunday, like long ass time ago, and you saying something about like I want peace, beautiful Sarah, I want peace.

Speaker 2:

Like that's what life's about yeah, 100% us at the Buddhist temple. Yeah, but I agree, I agree, I think that you, you don't have to have everything figured out though, like as you were just talking about, like us in the younger versions of ourselves, like if I go back to me recognizing when I really really started hating my corporate job like when it went from like OK, not really, I never vibed from it from day out of college, like I was never like I love this shit.

Speaker 2:

You know, this is amazing, I can't wait to continue this for the rest of my life. But like when I reached a point where I was like this is literally debilitating, which was when I was working in advertising at first, and then I was like, okay, I knew I needed change. I knew I needed change. Well, let me try working in marketing at a different kind of company. Let me see if that works. Like I got it. Oh my God.

Speaker 2:

Remember how crazy I was interviewing. Like I literally interviewed for five months with so many different companies. I was so particular. I was like I put I got a plan. I literally time blocked when I would like prepare for interviews. Like I was. I was so overstimulated but like that was kind of my first step. And then over time I got then you know my quote unquote dream marketing job. And then I over time realized that wasn't aligned with me. But I didn't immediately go to I want to be a life coach. That wasn't my first thing, right, but like, all along this process I created these plans for myself that were like I'm going to figure this out next and from that I'm going to figure out this, and I didn't know every single thing. But, like I created, I actually think micro plans more were more helpful for me than like these giant macro plans yeah, it's still.

Speaker 1:

It's like you came to a point like even though, because it's like you in that, we're in that position of like when you were working at phd, for example, and you knew you wanted a different job. You're like in those moments like how can I change my life? And like, at that version of you, changing your life meant going to a different job that was going to make you happier, right, it's just interesting how we like constantly evolve. So like what, what we think right now, what we're changing our life, right, like having our own businesses, like you know, relationships, whatever, health it's like. What's it going to be in like three years? I don't know if it changes that much more after you start to get more like feeling like yourself, yeah, and like, yeah, clear.

Speaker 2:

I think, more of your desires just come through for yourself. But tune in three years from now and we'll let you know where we're at. Keep following the journey, I think. But you're right, it does change. I think things shift.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and like you just start as you get older too, like you just start to like solidify your values and like the things that you want Not to say that like people that are younger don't know what they want but I feel like I've been like I am so clear on what I want in my life now and it's so simple. It's like I want to have a business like that's successful and thriving, that makes me feel excited and happy and brings me joy, and I want to have a family. Like.

Speaker 1:

It's just like two simple things, you know what I mean and so like before it was like nah, I need the job, I need a product manager, I need to be senior product manager, I need to have a boyfriend, I need to have all like. It was like so spread thing. But it's just like it feels so simple. Now I know what I desire and it's just like now I'm just like working towards that, taking baby steps towards getting those things every day.

Speaker 2:

I love that because I think it brings up something else in me of like, don't overcomplicate it. Like when you when you think about okay, here's this picture of how I want to actually change my life. Don't over complicate it and get out of your own way. Like have consistency, build these plans, but don't get so deep into your head and into your own way that then you're actually basically working against the plan that you set out for yourself.

Speaker 2:

You know, and I think that a lot of people do that and there's like, okay, when you envision, here's how I'm going to chip my life and I'm going to get, you know, this new job, or I'm going to meet my aligned partner, I'm going to buy my dream house or I'm going to whatever it is, there begins to get this like stuckness, and then stuckness creates self-sabotage and then self-sabotage actually puts you into less action. And then now you're just so far back because you know it didn't happen in the timeline that you thought it would happen. It didn't, you know, go the way that you thought it would go. You failed a little bit in the beginning and then it's like people don't stick with it because they feel these roadblocks coming, so like you have to stick with it to really change your life, like you have to stick with it yeah, so, like, so important, like if there's something that you deeply desire, you, you want to change.

Speaker 1:

It's like constantly returning back to the remembering of why you're doing that thing in the first place, why it's important to you, really focusing on why is something actually important to you?

Speaker 1:

Why do you desire to have freedom and work for yourself? Why do you desire to have a loving relationship? Work for yourself, why do you desire to have a loving relationship? Remind yourself of the why and then, every single day, like take steps, whether that be a physical step or an energetic step, right, because we got to have both. Like how can you take one step closer to the person that you want to become? Or you know, like every day is an opportunity for us to even just do one small thing. Maybe it's just a mindset shift or an act of love, loving yourself or loving your body, like I think like when we can start to shift our identities to match the people that we want to become and the things that we want, like it's going to make it easier as well to kind of get there and like move that path along and we start identifying values and qualities of the person who we desire to be. Yeah, be?

Speaker 2:

yeah, absolutely. Another big thing that's coming up to my mind and this would be good to do like a whole episode on is don't try to make yourself into someone that you're not. And what I mean by that is, like often when we want to make a big shift in our lives, like we paint this super ideal picture of who we want to be every single day and never watches Netflix and only eats healthy food, never orders takeout and you know, had like all of these like constricting things. Like we get this big list and then when we order takeout or you know we don't meditate or we miss the gym because we weren't feeling good or whatever, then we start to get this narrative in our head that we're not good enough, we're not reaching the goals that we set out to reach, and then that just spirals and like anyone that's listening to this knows what I mean, because we literally all experience this in our own head and this got in my way for so many years of my life like if I could go back and tell myself and I still have to tell myself all the time now like you are not going to be that perfect version of yourself. That version is not real. That is your ego trying to tell you that you need to be this perfect person. But it's not a reality. And trying to strive towards that always, always, always.

Speaker 2:

I feel like it actually contributes to that stuckness. I feel like it contributes to not taking action because it builds up over time and it creates this energy of lack of frustration, of distrust in yourself, and it just't serve you. You know so. Know your strengths, know your weaknesses and figure out a plan to work within those like. I know that I don't love to take a ton of action in the evening, or I know for years I tried to get myself to work out in the evening. I don't work out in the evening. I'm not a person that works out in the evening. If I don't work out in the morning, I'm not not a person that works out in the evening. If I don't work out in the morning, I'm not working out. Yeah, yeah, and I'm not feeling guilty about it anymore.

Speaker 1:

You know Good for you.

Speaker 2:

I was just like heavy on my heart because you know what I mean Like we really beat ourselves up and that does not contribute to us changing our lives.

Speaker 1:

Right, that's just like sabotaging you even more. Then it's like, oh, I missed my night workout today. Now I'm just going to, you know, get what I give up on my diet or whatever, give up on me working out. It's like, no, we can just flow with, also, how we're feeling. Like, yes, of course. Like try to, you know, shoot for some structure If you feel like you're like a little too in your feminine flowing, right. Like try to create a little bit of structure. But if you miss some things, or if you're feeling low, if you're feeling sad, you feel like you don't have the energy to do it. Like, honor yourself in those moments because that's better in the end. Right, because you're giving yourself love, you're nurturing yourself in those moments.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if you saw this like post that I shared on Instagram, but like it. It was like these glasses and it's like not every glass is full. As long as you do something every day, maybe the one glass is full one day, maybe one is like literally has one eighth, maybe one's halfway. It's like just putting something in every day moving towards your you know, the person that you want to become is enough, like, even if that is like walking in the gym and then walking out like you're doing something and maybe some days else you can't do anything and you don't want to. And it's like I love that aspect of honoring yourself and being nice to yourself and like not beating yourself up, because the more you beat yourself up, I think just like the harder you become on yourself and the more uphill like the uphill battle it becomes.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yes, it's like the structure, like we said earlier, the action plan, like it is so helpful, it works and I think that people absolutely need to create it to actually shift your life. But also, like two things can be true at the same time. You don't need to become so rigidly attached to it that it makes you feel less than when you don't contribute it. It's like if you look at the end of a year, you know when, let's say, that you work out a couple times a week, every every week in the year of 2024, you don't get to the end of 2024 and think, the week of April 10th, I only worked out one day. You think I worked out a lot this year. Damn, I'm really proud of myself, you know. So it just is like thinking about actually the effect. You know, and change takes time. Like that.

Speaker 2:

Another how to change your life also divine timing, trust in divine timing. Know that when things are meant to be shifted for you, they will be. That makes me think about seeing the psychic in Austin and I was so worried about my corporate job at the time my corporate job. I'm so attached to that. Like when am I going to get rid of this freaking corporate job like I was literally so desperate to leave, you know. And she just looked at me and was like you literally don't even need to worry about this at all. Like it will be gone when it is meant to be gone it is not your forever life. Like it will leave and you just have to trust in that and deepen into like there is a time for everything. Not everything needs to be rushed when you're changing the trajectory of your life.

Speaker 1:

It's so wild that that wasn't even a year ago Like that was, like in July, right.

Speaker 2:

No, that was. This was when I was in Austin, so that was like like less than two years ago wait we.

Speaker 1:

When did you leave your job? Like now, I'm like forgetting when did you leave your job? Oh, oh, when I thought you meant that, when the psychic told me that no, I left my job in October, didn't you come for your birthday, dude Austin?

Speaker 2:

you and your mom. Well, that wasn't my birth, like over my birthday, but that was not. That was 2022.

Speaker 1:

Oh my god, okay sorry, sorry, time is just time is just flying.

Speaker 2:

I know, wow, that's crazy, I that's crazy.

Speaker 1:

Either way, what I'm saying is like it's crazy how like so many things can change like in such a short period of time, Like you were in that energy, like we both were working on a corporate job and now we have a completely different life.

Speaker 1:

But that I like what you were saying there of like some things also you can't control Like for you know me, I have this desire to have a family. It's like you do things in alignment as close as you can to the thing that, like the place that you think that you should be right, going on dates, like loving yourself, like having positive self-talk, like putting yourself out there, right, sometimes there is like only so much that you can do to get into alignment of something that you want and you have to like wait for other other things and just trust that God has a plan. You know the divine timing, like you were saying, like if you feel like you're doing all the work, you put in all the effort, it's like sometimes it is just like waiting in that gratitude for that thing to come to life, Because we cannot force some things that you know we want in our life you know we want in our life.

Speaker 2:

So, well said, absolutely Okay, let's end on like a few little rapid fire, like things that people can do, actions that people can take to actually change their lives.

Speaker 2:

Okay, practices, things like that. Okay, one of my favorites is and I think that this has helped me over the years many times is writing either letters to myself, writing journal entries that are future thinking, but in the present, about my life when I own a retreat center, that is, you know, operating with my family, and like this life, like I will just clearly describe what my life is like. Like a day like oh, I just got you know back in from a day hosting an incredible retreat at my retreat center and, like you know, Reza is in the kitchen making our kids dinner and you know, and I'll get really descriptive or like waking up in the morning and thinking about, like this is especially good for, like things that you do want to shift, like I desire to have so much freedom in my life. So what does that feel like? The future version of me? How are they experiencing freedom in their lives? And writing from that present tense and truly energetically calling that towards yourself.

Speaker 1:

I love that beautiful. Uh, one tool I do is like planning for the week, right, whether it be like Sunday or Monday morning, thinking about these goals that I have right. Right, like I have a health goal, I have a goal to be financially free. Right, I have a goal to be in a committed relationship. So that sounds really cheesy of like goal to be in a committed relationship, but you know we're going to be still doing things towards those right.

Speaker 1:

So each week I try to think about, like, how can I get closer to this thing that I desire, right? So I think about three things that I can do in order to hit my health goal. Three things that I can do in order to hit my financial goal. Maybe that looks like paying $200 off of my credit card this week or reaching out and locking in a new client, right? So I like to pick out small mini things that I can do that are going to contribute to the actual place that I want to go, and schedule them out in my week, so I know that I'm going to actually get those things done. Maybe it's like go on two dates this week, but pre-planning my week and intentionally living my weeks based on the things that I desire and I want to bring to life is super helpful for me pushing the needle on getting the things that I want.

Speaker 2:

Love it, and this is something that I need to get back into in a closer way. So this is motivating me. Ok, create a not one single non-negotiable in your life, and this could be whatever it is for you right. For me, my absolute non-negotiable thing that I am doing multiple times a week, likely every single day, no matter what, is some sort of movement. Even if I am sick, I usually move in some sort of way. If I do like light stretching or like a light walk or just something like, literally, you could be stretching on the couch, whatever, even if you're sick, that is my non-negotiable because it has literally transformed my mental health. Like my. I don't experience anxiety in the same way that I used to before. I had a more consistent workout routine and that is my non-negotiable. Even if I I don't have time to meditate, journal, do things for my business. I am going to get movement. So figure out what your non-negotiable is and stick to it.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Another one that I have is community. If you want to live a life that makes you feel fulfilled, that makes you feel excitedround yourself with a community who are living lives that they love, that they enjoy, that they feel aligned in because community is everything. Who you surround yourself with, You're the average of the five people you surround yourself with, so if you're hanging out with people who are low lives, who don't like themselves, who have bad relationships, like that's gonna bring your energy down. So be around people who are uplifting, who are inspiring, and you're going to be the fifth person in that room feeling that way as well. So really take a look at who you are surrounding yourself with.

Speaker 2:

So, so, so important. And I'm just going to say a final thought related to that, which is I sent you a polo yesterday about this. Did you watch it? No, you gotta watch it, because I did it in like raw emotion in the moment. But I was like scrolling through tiktok yesterday and like I saw like you post a video about something like really inspirational. And then I was scrolling through and I saw like Danielle post something inspirational and like I got this like feeling when I saw like your content to be like that is my fucking best friend, like how, like, how cool is that? You know like those are the friends that you want in your life, that you literally look at them and their lives and you feel so like elevated by the way that they are living.

Speaker 2:

You know like you feel inspired, like we have looked at people that we are inspired by as like something that is more superior to us in some sort of way, like that kind of like guru thing you know when, like you can feel that way by your own friends, like you can create that kind of experience of being like in community, with people that are like minded, have similar type of goals, have similar values as you, and that inspire you, and like that is the feeling that you should get when you see your friends out there in the world doing their shit. So, hell yeah, get good community. It is, it is the best, it is the best and that absolutely can support you changing your life. Yeah, that's all she wrote.

Speaker 2:

That's all she wrote y'all, that's all she said. Sisters, get out there, we love you Change your life.
