S3 Ep 188 I F*cking Did It – I'm Becoming an Official Life Coach, oh, and I have Mold!

SHOW NOTES:

Yep. I did the damn thing. I signed up for a legit coaching program. After years of coaching without the piece of paper, I’m going for my ACC accreditation through Lumia, and I am LIT UP about it. Why? Because I wanna keep leveling the hell up. Because growth feels so good. Because we are never done becoming.

In this episode, I spill the tea (okay, more like the green juice and maybe some salted chocolate caramel) on:

• 🎓 Why I finally decided to go all-in on coaching and invest in my craft
• 🧠 The wild signs that job-hunting wasn’t it—and how the universe kept pushing me back to MEfirst
• 🧬 My mold toxicity test results (spoiler: it’s a shitshow), my gut health, and why you should care about toxic load after menopause
• 🏊‍♀️ My pool workouts, glucose monitors, new goggles, and how I'm bribing myself into movement
• 🍕 The weird-ass wheat challenge I’m doing for Celiac testing—yes, I’m eating gluten on purpose
• 💫 My chakras, future vision, and how I’m plotting my runway to high-priestess-level badassery
• 📆 Why June 28th is your date with your future self (a.k.a. planning party time!)

I talk healing, habits, coaching, body love, food weirdness, and what it really means to intentionally create your life instead of just surviving it. Midlife isn’t a dead-end—it’s a damn launch pad.

Come hang with me, grab your planner, and let’s make some magic.

Transcript

 I did it, I signed up for a coaching. Cohort class training, whatever you want to call it, and I'm doing the first part of it called their essentials, and then I'll step into the signature program to get my a CC accreditation, because I've never actually been accredited as a coach, although I've been coaching pretty successfully on my ad.

If you. Talk to some of the peeps that I've helped get their goals. But I like always like to get better at stuff and learn stuff. And I thought, why not perfect this craft? If I really wanna go in on coaching, where can I do that? How can I learn best? And sometimes things just happen to. Set you up for what is next in your life and doing the job seeking thing.

I started to tell you guys last week, it was just like so apparent. Everyone I would talk to, every corner I would reach just kept pushing me back toward my business. And I've just kind of been like, what do I want that to look like? What you know, do I want to just. Do events. Do I wanna just speak? Do I wanna write a book?

Do I just wanna blow the podcast up? Like what do I want that to look like? And when it comes down to it, what I really enjoy is, of course, helping people. That's where we all get our big boost of, oh my God, it feels so good. Right? Like selfishly, like nothing feels better than someone reaching out and telling me, oh my God, that helped me so much.

When you talked about that on your podcast, or when we had that planning event. It just changed my life or working with you for this past year as I uncovered all my magic was just the game changer to my life, and nothing makes you feel better as a person to have helped someone get there. That's why so many of you are caregivers, right?

Because it feels good. It feels good that we get to help people. So I thought. Why not just get into the coaching aspect a little bit more? And it just felt like perfect timing. And then I found this coaching school called Lumia, and the class started like literally on Tuesday, you guys, so I talked to you guys.

I did the podcast last Sunday, and then I was researching schools, looking, looking, looking, just feeling like this was really the direction I wanted to go in. And the school started on Tuesday. And it was like, it's a fast cohort. It's like eight weeks of this first essentials program, and then the second half will start in October or something like that.

So anyhow, I had to make a decision and I'm like, you know what? I'm doing it. Um, I always believe in investing in myself and investing in coaches to get me there faster, investing in myself to make myself better. You know, we're gross seeking beings. You guys, we wanna learn, like when I'm not learning something is when I feel stagnant or, um, like I'm not getting anywhere.

You know? And that'll happen when I allow myself to binge too many things. Like, for example, I'm in the middle of a really good book today, and it took everything I had. It's like. Seven 30 at night and I was like, Nope. Add, you got it. You need to podcast. You've been, I feel so good when I, when I podcast, when I speak it and put it out there into the ether and talk to you guys, like, I just feel better when I do that and I show up for myself.

Basically, it's like showing up for my morning routine when I write my magic pages and do my plan and my meditation and how good that feels. To do that part and get my day set up is much like me showing up here and sharing with you guys all the shit that's going on. You know, I don't. Look, I don't know how that correlates, but somehow it does.

This is what you get when you get seven 30 Addie, and that's because I actually got up, got my ass to the pool this morning. I did a live on Facebook. If you're staying real time over there, you can catch that. But um, I walked laps at the Lazy River and. It was really nice. It was good. I had a flare up this week with my skin, so I was really, Saturday, I just stayed in again and, but like the scale is way up and I don't want to keep seeing it move in that direction.

Oh, I gotta fill you guys in so. I met with my naturopath on Wednesday and got all the results back from all of my testing for toxicity in my body and my gut health testing and my gut health is really pretty good. She said, I said, well, it doesn't surprise me 'cause I've done a lot of work on it. You know, I've been doing OME for years and even though I haven't had a current one, I still try to use a lot of the principles that I learned at it.

So that was good. And. I don't have any markers for like, sorry you guys. I'm struggling with the cold a little bit, so I know I sound, um, a little rough. But, um, anyhow, uh, I don't have any, um, like markers for leaky gut or anything like that going on, which she seemed really surprised about. I think she thought that was gonna be the problem, but I had never seen that on my ome before either, so I wasn't surprised by that.

But my toxicity. Off the F in charts you guys, I've got like eight different types of mold coursing through my body. There's all these, like on the, that's like the high toxicity stuff is all like mold related, chemical pesticides from non-organic foods. You guys, this stuff makes such a difference in. You know, Dr.

Mindy PEs when I was doing the coaching certification through her fast, like the girl coaching, and when we're learning all about hormones and women's bodies and what's going on with them, she talks so much about this toxic load. And when you are having your cycle, when you are bleeding, this is, you're getting rid of so many of those toxins that way through your blood.

And when we stop bleeding, we stop getting rid of 'em. I'm like, so I tell my girls all the time, I'm like, just be. So grateful that you have, that you're bleeding, that you have your cycle because you're getting rid of this stuff, you know? And as we get older, we're not getting getting rid of it anymore. And it becomes even more important for our bodies to be efficient and to be able to flush things.

So she meets with my intuitive healer. Tomorrow and then I get my game plan for that. So I will fill you guys in. But I have to say, if you have not done this testing or some type of testing to see your toxic load and you aren't mindful of it, like for me, it helps to know like once I know. What I'm dealing with, then I can make a plan of attack on it.

And it's kind of like when you're like, ah, I think I got a toxic load. Or maybe it's mold, or maybe it's this, maybe it's that. 'cause you know, Dave Asprey talks about mold a lot. Like back when he was, like, when I was 300 pounds, I did everything. I tried everything. But really his problem was a toxic mold load.

And I thought, oh my God. And like I have all this big weight gain going on right now, like how much of it is carrying that toxic load? And so just not discounting the power of understanding what is going on in our bodies. They're just so. They're just so amazing and so integral, and so much stuff can affect us.

And it's just everywhere. It's in shampoos, it's in makeups, it's in food, it's in the air, it's in the soil. It is everywhere. And we're seeing more and more of this burden. And eczema has just one thing that has just become huge that the doctor's like, oh, we don't know what's going on. We don't know where it's coming from, and so much has to do with this toxic load.

There's no way it doesn't, people that clean up their guts all the time see it clear. So I'm on this path and I know it's gonna be a long journey, but in the same breath, I also don't wanna be. 300 plus pounds, again, by the time I'm figuring this shit out. So I'm really trying to get that back on track. I put my, I have these two, um, two months worth of continuous glucose monitors that I've had since last year, and what it really does more so than see my sugar fluctuations is it.

Makes me track my food because I like to see what foods affect, like how my body's reacting to sugar. It's kind of fun, so I put that on. Got up, went to the pool. I bought myself a new kickboard. I have new goggles, a new swimsuit. Just kind of bribing myself to get to the pool 'cause it's the one place I can work out and feel okay because I'm in the water.

So my. Skin doesn't sting when I sweat now I can't go in the ocean. The salt water hurts it. So I go to the pool here and it's a great pool and they have a beautiful lap pool and they have this lazy river that you can go walk. And when Millie gets back, I love it 'cause we walk together and then we talk and it goes much faster.

But I'm gonna start podcasting. I've got some new like waterproof, sport earbuds comments so I can like. Listen to my audio book and walk it and just kind of enjoy that at night, winding down, just making it attractive, like something I'm gonna look forward to doing. Um, so I've got that going on. So I've decided not to look for a job and we've had a lot of changes there.

My, my counterpart is got promoted to the other side of the island, and that leaves like just me because I took myself out of the promotion on my side where I'm at. But so now my poor VP has. Two of three open leadership positions and um, I'm doing this life coaching thing, so I just went and I said, Hey, I want you guys to know I'm not looking anymore.

I am just gonna stay here. I'm focusing on my coaching biz, and it'll be a while before I'm ready to like take off. And I will probably do. Both simultaneously while I'm here in Hawaii. And, um, just let it be easy and fun and learn and, um, build the runway, you know, and that kind of gets me back to thinking about the visioning.

And I'm doing this, um, visioning book with Francesca Amber's group. I told you guys about that last week. Um, she does this private member podcast called The Book Club Bitches, which is just fun. And she's just fun. But, um. This week, uh, it was kind of more about like thoughts, your thoughts and emotions and how all of that brings to you what you're visioning.

So I'm excited to get in the part of the book where we're really choosing the type of visions and building the vision and, um, but we're gonna be doing that over a couple of weeks, and then we've got our planning event coming up in a couple of weeks. So, oh, I gotta get the link together for that. It's probably gonna be next weekend.

And you guys are gonna be like, why are you so short notice? Listen, bitches, you don't sign up till the day before Anyways, don't gimme that crap and put the, put the date in your calendar. June 28th, Saturday. Boom. Be there. Be square. I'll get a link out. You can sign up. We get you the free planner over to you and you know, show up and get this shit done.

Get your vision done, write out your plan. See where it takes you and. Who you wanna become in this next version of yourself. So in Life Coach School, we're not doing a whole lot yet. You guys. We have our cohorts and I'm meeting like so many really cool people. I'm loving it. I am like in this group with this guy that used to be like some marketing guru outta Chicago, and then another woman who used to make films and she lives in San Francisco.

I don't know. I've got the whole LA crew and I'm super excited to just get to know these guys a little bit more. And when there's an artist and it's just like. Such a wonderful group of people. I always love when I'm in an environment where I'm learning so much also from the people around me, not just like the school, you know?

And I'm excited to practice coach with them and see what comes out of that. I don't know, what do you guys wanna be when you grow up? You know, we don't have to stop growing up just 'cause we're 50, 60, 70, whatever. Like, that's how we stay young, you know? It's like when I don't have something like this.

Going on is when I get in the, oh my God, I'm so old, I'm so fat. Life's over. What? It just passed me by. I'm invisible. That's when that shit takes over is when you're not playing and plot and think and dreaming. What can I create? We are creators. What do you wanna create? Right? What does it look like? What is this next version of you?

Or is it just the same old day to day you're gonna retire and just go sit on a chair somewhere? You know, that's only fun for so long. It's only fun for so long before like you're gonna wanna be doing something or we just kill over and die. Okay. Clearly I need a drink 'cause I'm losing my voice now.

Standby. Okay. I am back. So I did a little food prep last week. Oh. Oh, I forgot to tell you you guys this. So. In my gut test, I had a lot of wheat markers, so I have to eat gluten every day for two to three weeks, which this is like a big deal. Like I don't eat gluten and I'm allergic to wheat. So this is like.

Crazy to me. So for the next two to three weeks, I have to eat gluten, the equivalent to two slices of wheat bread every day. And to me, my brain just says, oh my God, I'm going to eat pizza. I'm going to eat loaves of french bread. I'm going to eat like all the fucking things. All day long because I'm being told to eat gluten and this is so I can be tested for Celiac's disease.

'cause she said if it's that, it's something totally else we're, we're dealing with and I've never been tested. So I am doing that. So for the next two to three weeks. I'm eating all the gluten and I gotta say I'm kind of liking it, but I'm gonna have to like really reel myself in you guys. I mean, seriously, like it's a little out of control.

Um, I think my flare up this week, I had some sugar. Oh my god, you guys, I had the best. They were like salt dairy free salted. Dark chocolate, caramel, salted things from when I was at Whole Foods and I get like something healthy off their salad bar and then I want a little treat, right? But I like totally flared up and I'm pretty sure that was the cul trip culprit.

And I'm just really trying to stay away from processed sugar. Um. Oh, my kidneys are getting better. They came back. I don't know if I told you guys that or not. So that happened this week. So I was like concerned about my kidneys and the load on them, but that came back that they were looking better. So we're gonna do like another marker on that.

And there isn't anything like visually looking wrong with them. It's just some of the numbers of my kidneys being able to process things are low. So, oh my gosh, you guys. It's just like a full-time job keeping track of this shit, you know? And I think back to like when I lost the hundred pounds in, um, this last time, you know?

'cause we go through life gaining and losing weight. Well, I have. You know, and I can look back through my life and think, you know, when I don't have a lot of routine in my life and when I don't have a focus on just me and my health may not priority, it's always like slipped to the back behind work behind.

Family behind other things. Right? And when I've been able to really focus on me and my life and have things set up in my life that it's easy for me to take action on caring for myself, that I've been able to get myself in a healthy place and I feel so good. Why was I telling you guys that? Holy frigging squirrel?

I have no idea. But this whole podcast is probably kind of a squirrel. Listen, you guys isn't this, this is what it's all about. This is what manifesting is about. This is what creating your life is about. This is what future self's about, what habits are about. It's all about where do you wanna go? Who do you wanna be?

What do you want your life to look like? And if you don't spend time thinking about that actively and creating it. You're just gonna get what life serves you. You're just gonna get back more of the same or worse depending on what you're putting in your brain, what you're eating, what you're putting in your body, what you're consuming around you.

So let's be proactive, right? Like what do we want this to look like? And this is why like I won't ever stop doing these planning sessions 'cause it makes me sit down and for. Four hours every quarter. I'm actively thinking about myself, writing out goals, writing little tiny actions I can take, and it's how I keep moving forward.

And sometimes, guy said, I think last week I was saying it sure as fuck doesn't look like it. Doesn't feel like it. I'm gaining weight. My skin's flared up. It feels like. Everything is just hard and going in the wrong direction. But someday I'm gonna look back and be like, all of that had to happen for me to get here.

And just like when my intuitive healer pulled my cards for the next three years, and she said by that three years, so right when Millie graduates, when I'm stepping into that, like I'm building this runway, she pulled the high priestess card and she's like, you're gonna. Step into whatever this highest version of yourself is.

And when I talk about my chakras being out of alignment, like. When I was out on the road in the RV and just really grounded, rooted feeling really content in a lot of areas, like my upper chakras were really lit a lot and my lower chakras weren't asked so much. And I kind of have the opposite experience now where my lower chakras are easier for me to light up and my upper chakras, like I have more.

Security, stability, all of that stuff. My, um, even like my solar plexus chakra is, is feeling decent, but like my heart chakra, my third eye, my throat, my crown chakra just has been harder for me to engage in Ignite, and I know so much of that is my. Spiritual practice in my body. But again, it's getting yourself to move and do these things to wake up and prioritize them over getting in your phone right away.

Or, um, you know, just getting up and going to work because oh my God, I'm gonna be late instead of I am time. I create time. All of these magical little things I've picked up along the way and tend to like, to forget how well they fucking work. So, note to self slayer. Get your ass up and do your magic pages and your plan this week because it frigging feels good.

It feels good to have a plan and intention and live with intention and create my life through intention. And I'm gonna come out the other side of all this shit you guys. I'm gonna detox. I'm gonna figure this out. I'm gonna become another. Best, healthier version of myself and I can't wait to see what I create.

And I just thank you guys for being here on the ride with me, and I can't wait to see who you create. Like, what's she gonna look like? Ask yourself this week. Like if your life, your future self, how would it look differently than it does now? Like you could pick anything, be anyone, anything in the world you wanted it to look like.

What, how would it look different than it does now? And that's the gap, right? And then we just start to, Hey, what little things would I need to do to close that gap? What would it look like? And come to the event if you can, because this is what we do. We plot and plan it out, and you leave with that action plan.

And even if you don't like. Fully do the plan. Even if you don't like, show up every day and do a plan, nobody does. Right? It's like kind of how it, it just happens, but you still step forward. Just the act of putting those thoughts out into the ether, like start to move the energy and move the universe. In your favor and you're gonna start to see those synchronicities, those doors open and it's just fucking amazing to see and I can't see what, wait to see what happens.

I have two coaching classes this week. I'll hear from about my mold detox plan, and I'll have more for you next week. So until then, you guys slayer out.
