:If you are.
5
:A mother.
6
:A woman.
7
:Uh, human with a uterus.
8
:Neurodivergent.
9
:Um, not a.
10
:Generator or Manny, Jenn and human design.
11
:And if you are still a sin, Um,
Um, any and all of those things.
12
:I need you to listen to.
13
:Me when I tell you and
talk about this virus that.
14
:That we have all been exposed to.
15
:As humans.
16
:Collectively.
17
:And that's.
18
:Hustle and grind culture.
19
:And the sneaky ways that it.
20
:Shows up in our life and.
21
:The ways.
22
:Ways that we need to start
building immunity to it in
23
:order to literally like save.
24
:Humanity because it's killing us.
25
:We.
26
:Have not.
27
:Evolved to.
28
:Move at the pace.
29
:That modern.
30
:Life is asking.
31
:Us to move at.
32
:And.
33
:I say specifically for like
mother and women and neurodiverse.
34
:Vergent.
35
:People because.
36
:Because.
37
:Things are just different for us.
38
:We aren't.
39
:White dudes in suits
with massive privilege.
40
:And.
41
:All the other things that might make.
42
:The pace of hustle and grind culture.
43
:Actually.
44
:Actually work for us,
it doesn't work for us.
45
:And I would argue it doesn't work for.
46
:Those white dudes either.
47
:They just don't have the
conscious awareness to even.
48
:Care they've been there in that
mentality of like, do more.
49
:Push more work harder, more and
more and more money, money, money.
50
:Um, And it's quite disgusting actually.
51
:Money's not disgusting, but the force.
52
:And the sacrifice in which people.
53
:Will.
54
:We'll put themselves through
to get money as disgusting.
55
:Um, And the harm that
we're doing to humanity.
56
:And to our souls as.
57
:Animal bodies.
58
:And to the land and earth that we live on.
59
:So anyway, there's some things
that I want you to hear.
60
:One of them.
61
:Is.
62
:Uh, urgency.
63
:Isn't real.
64
:Um, urgency is a frequency.
65
:I see that.
66
:Is almost this like, External.
67
:Pressure feeling.
68
:Outside of us.
69
:And.
70
:Time isn't real.
71
:So.
72
:This feeling of urgency.
73
:Doesn't necessary.
74
:I mean that like, The
antidote to it is moving.
75
:At a slower pace.
76
:It's more to do.
77
:It's less to do with this speed.
78
:Speed in which you are like moving
through time, because time isn't real.
79
:And more to do with the
like, External pressure.
80
:Pressure and obligation you
were feeling around that thing.
81
:That's.
82
:It's not real.
83
:Um,
84
:Rest.
85
:Rest and.
86
:Space.
87
:For pleasure.
88
:And nourishment and.
89
:And joy.
90
:And things that don't necessarily.
91
:We have a.
92
:Gold star.
93
:Achievement at the end.
94
:Or so, so important for our humanity.
95
:And for our souls alive.
96
:Anise and for our.
97
:Our.
98
:Channel two.
99
:Too.
100
:Be open to creativity.
101
:And to life force energy.
102
:And.
103
:When we are constantly override.
104
:Overriding our body's need
for rest and for pleasure.
105
:We are.
106
:Disrupting and literally like, Like
plugging up that energetic channel.
107
:That we all, as human
beings have access to.
108
:Um, and.
109
:And that is doing a huge disservice
to, again, not only are our souls.
110
:And our animal bodies, but
also to our like, commute.
111
:Community as a whole and
to the world as a whole.
112
:And.
113
:And so we really need to start
prioritizing rest and pleasure.
114
:Enjoy.
115
:And things that feel good
things that don't feel like.
116
:Sacrifice and extraction.
117
:And I hear you when you.
118
:You say like by the call, I don't have
time, but Nicole, like, I'm a busy moment.
119
:I have.
120
:All these things and my
to-do list is never ending.
121
:And this, this, and this.
122
:And there's this like external
circumstance that you have.
123
:Put yourself.
124
:Into that.
125
:Makes you believe and
hold on to this story.
126
:Sorry that you don't have time.
127
:But also time isn't.
128
:Not real.
129
:Um, And what I say.
130
:Back to you.
131
:If you're saying those things is
that it doesn't have to be this like.
132
:Ginormous shift in lifestyle.
133
:It can literally just be like pockets.
134
:Cuts.
135
:Of rest and joy and pleasure micro.
136
:Micro doses of rest, joy and pleasure.
137
:It can be giving space.
138
:For a longer exhale in
your body, it can be.
139
:Brushing your teeth.
140
:In full presence.
141
:As opposed to like also cleaning
your counters and like trying.
142
:To put socks on.
143
:I don't know if anybody actually
does that, but you know what I mean?
144
:Um,
145
:It doesn't have to be.
146
:This crazy orchestrated event.
147
:It doesn't have to be
something that actually.
148
:Actually feels like.
149
:In addition to your to-do
list, it's a way of.
150
:Being.
151
:Instead of a way of doing.
152
:Um, Um, urgency rest.
153
:I think.
154
:The other thing I wanted to talk about is.
155
:This like.
156
:Entanglement of our self-worth with our.
157
:Our achievements and our productivity.
158
:And our.
159
:Our belief that like our goodness as.
160
:A human.
161
:Is dependent on.
162
:What.
163
:We do and how we look and what we say.
164
:And how we behave.
165
:And.
166
:That's.
167
:That's just so not true.
168
:Um,
169
:Hour.
170
:Were inherent worth as a human being.
171
:Is.
172
:Unconditional like it is always there.
173
:It is not conditional.
174
:All of those things.
175
:And the longer we take to.
176
:Too.
177
:Untangle those knots.
178
:The longer it's gonna.
179
:To take, to ever experience
a sense of freedom.
180
:And a sense of fulfillment and a
sense of contentment and a sense.
181
:Of.
182
:Just like the lists and.
183
:Uh, liveliness and.
184
:Insert any other.
185
:Other word you want to experience?
186
:Um,
187
:And yeah, I mean, I
could go on and on and.
188
:All about these things, but basically
I'm here to say that like, We.
189
:I have to stop living this way.
190
:We have to stop doing things.
191
:We.
192
:I have to stop mothering.
193
:We have to stop creating businesses.
194
:We have to stop.
195
:Um, Seeing rest and self care as rewards.
196
:We have to stop doing these things
because they are literally killing us.
197
:And.
198
:There's no better time to.
199
:Then now.
200
:'cause like I said, it
doesn't have to be this like.
201
:Fast change in lifestyle.
202
:It is literally like these micro doses of.
203
:Change.
204
:It is just this heightened awareness to.
205
:What is going on for you in your
inner world and in your outer world.
206
:And.
207
:Bringing intention into.
208
:Your way.
209
:Of being and your.
210
:Um, Literally.
211
:Really like.
212
:Access to.
213
:Uh, liveliness and sensation in your.
214
:The body.
215
:It can literally be that simple.
216
:So.
217
:Yeah.
218
:Anyways, I am in the midst of
creating a private podcast.
219
:Cast series called boss paid.
220
:Funeral because.
221
:I think it's finally fucking time to
lay this boss, babe culture, mental.
222
:Mentality to rest.
223
:And break free from the
chains that it's keeping.
224
:Us.
225
:Um, tied to, in the sense of.
226
:Like doing more and.
227
:Uh, like.
228
:Like in the context of business, like
I just think about all of the people.
229
:Who have a launch that
didn't go as expected.
230
:And the immediate translation
of that is like, oh, I did.
231
:Something wrong.
232
:I didn't do something while
I didn't send enough emails.
233
:I didn't.
234
:Like post enough on Instagram.
235
:I didn't have the right.
236
:Blah, blah, blah.
237
:And it's.
238
:It's really none of that.
239
:It's actually.
240
:Like.
241
:Nothing to do with needing to do more.
242
:And it's.
243
:It's the opposite.
244
:It's actually like, we need to
just break up with that mentality.
245
:And I don't want to say the word soften
because I think that's like the other.
246
:Other side of the pendulum and I'm
not suggesting we go there either.
247
:It's just this.
248
:Like connection to.
249
:To our.
250
:Our body's innate wisdom and trusting
that like, okay, it's go time.
251
:Or no it's time to rest because we
can't always be in these perpetual.
252
:Spring and summers these perpetual
go times like society expects us to.
253
:Um, And it's our body's
wisdom that can tell us.
254
:When it's time to rest.
255
:And what rest.
256
:It will look like and what
actually feels nourishing.
257
:Um, so yeah, stay tuned for that.
