Hello and welcome to the Pleasurepreneur podcast. This podcast will help you create what you desire in your business with pleasure, whether that be calling in your ideal clients, making more money or creating a balanced business life blend. I'm your host, regan Figg, pleasure and business coach, published author of A Mother's Pleasure Wife and Mama to Three Little Wildlings. However you're choosing to listen to this podcast, ask yourself how can I make this more pleasurable? And do just that? I acknowledge the custodians of the land on which this podcast is recorded and produced, the Wadi Wadi people of Dharawal World. Now let's proceed with pleasure. Okay, welcome to today's episode.
Speaker 1:Today I have the gorgeous Jillian Gigi. I'm going to refer to you probably by all three names in this recording, so I'm not talking about anyone different. We are talking to the divine G, who is an energetic healer and mentor and Reiki master who, with her very, both soothing and sassy vibes, helps women who have very full lives, have deliciously filled lives and feel, enjoy their life and feel as though Groundhog Day does not need to exist anymore. And, G, I'm going to let you tell everybody about the people you work with and how you help them, but I want to share what I know to be true about you, which is that you are soothing and sassy, and G has been working with me inside this current round of the Pleasurepreneur Mastermind and is already signed up for the next one. So if you're thinking of joining, you're going to have a lot of fun with Delicious Company. I think I've said delicious about four times now.
Speaker 2:So delicious, oh wow.
Speaker 1:You just remind me of something super delicious. You're welcome, all right, so I would love it if you could share with us, tell us all the things, what's coming, what feels most alive for you today, to talk about who you are and who you help, what you do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what feels most alive for me today is that I love the. Why is why of my why is that I love to help women who want more know that there can be more in their life and that mediocrity and overwhelm and over-service can be a thing of the past and that they can live their biggest, most audacious life from a place of excitement and desire and no burnout.
Speaker 1:Yes, and that's one of the first things that I want to really define, or maybe not so much define, but clarify. When you're talking about like for women who want more, it's like not more on their plate, no, no.
Speaker 2:As in like we've got to a point in our life and we're feeling like there has to be more than this. Not I want to add more things in, but I want the things in my life to be so fulfilling and so exciting that I'm not going oh, I've just got to get through this, I've just got to get through this. Then it's like, oh, wow, I get to do this.
Speaker 1:And then yeah, that's all the work we deserve, yeah, and so I'm thinking. So this is the pleasurepreneur podcast. I'm thinking there's going to be pleasurepreneurs listening in. They are growing their business, they're navigating business challenges alongside blending business and life, and family and work and all of those other challenges. So for those listening, for those of who are listening, who do perhaps feel overwhelmed or burnt out or like is this it? There must be something more Like what would you recommend be the starting point for them from here?
Speaker 2:Starting point, which was the same starting point that I took, was what does more look like for me? What do I want? Take a step back, and what me? What do I want? Take a step back, and what is it truly that I want? Why do I want that?
Speaker 2:And get so clear on that definition so that when you have something else diving around it, you can say, oh no, thank you, or yes, please, because there's either going to be a fuck yes or a fuck no, and I don't have any other room for anything else other than those two answers. And if it's a maybe, it's a no. There is no fuck, maybe there's no fuck, maybe there's fuck yes and fuck no. You either want to get in bed with them or you don't want to get in bed with them.
Speaker 2:So what I did was I started dating life and if something was up like I said no, thank you, and I found another way to complete. If it was something I had to complete within my life, as in maintaining my life, I found a way to find joy in it and create joy in it, and if it was someone or something, I found a workaround. If it was a job, we looked for another job. If it was a partner, it was a conversation. If it's a friend, it's a conversation. If it's a business or a client, it's a conversation, because the more we say no to and the more we prioritize our feeling within our life and our connection to our life, the more it becomes elevated and the more you want to spend time in it and invest in it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so do you think that, like from the work that we have done together, from the work we do with our clients, you know, oftentimes it can be really I want to say like simple to work out what it is that you want, but then we stop ourselves for a number of reasons. But if someone was to feel as though like, oh, actually I don't feel, like I do have that connection with my body, I don't know if it is a want or if it's a not want, if it's anxiety or if it's a think like a should that I should have, like, is there some way that you've helped your clients to work out actually what is a true want for them?
Speaker 2:absolutely.
Speaker 2:And it comes down to disconnecting from our old noodle brain that is so well connected and not even connected, but so well trained by society to serve beyond and to serve outside and serve first, particularly as women, that we don't even delve into our intuition.
Speaker 2:Generally, most women these days have such a scattered relationship with their own intuition.
Speaker 2:They're questioning it so much that they're like I don't know what's the difference between my anxiety and my intuition, what's the difference between my worry and my intuition?
Speaker 2:And the one thing I teach them to start with is one to dive into the first thought that they have and start trusting the first thought. Write down the second thought and then see how it plays out. Watch to see how it plays out and then switch it up. Write down the first thought and dive into the second thought for a period of time and see how that works out. And if you it up, write down the first thought and dive into the second thought for a period of time and see how that works out and if you end up switching back to that first intuitive push or the second one, which is usually your noodle. The second thing I do is muscle testing disconnecting from the head, disconnecting from the thought and connecting with our body and letting our body lead the way and teaching them how to do that, because that can be a great way to start to trust those first thoughts or the second thought, to then have a test that they can't think their way out of oh my gosh, that's so great.
Speaker 1:And is that something because I know obviously you work with your clients online like, is that something that they can be doing or do you require to be there to help them with that muscle test?
Speaker 2:No, that's something that generally you can do as of now. You can Google how do I learn to muscle test and you'll have 55,000 YouTube channels pop up teaching you how to do it, because it's a connection to you and it's such an old technique that's traveled through time and space that it's something that is innate to you and innate to your body and that we've always had, and it's just knowing that you have this way of talking to yourself and asking yourself questions. Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's online, in person. Sometimes people crave that connection and I understand that with, like personal healing, that could be a really powerful tool. But know that you can also get that connection online.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I didn't know if you had to touch the people.
Speaker 2:No, I don't, I don't have to touch the people.
Speaker 1:They can touch themselves, they can so great, hey, and you were talking about trusting that first thought, yeah, and I connect with that so deeply and I feel like, you know, our brains can get in the way of that.
Speaker 1:But also, too, I think, people in our lives can get in the way with that. Our partners can get in the way of that. I think even, like, when I can think of parenting, like chances are, I know the way I want to do a certain thing, or I know which. You know how we want to structure our day or how we want to, like I know what I want, and yet I ask my husband for input and he's got a different way and I think, well, I'll just go with his way. And then I'm like, oh, that didn't turn out the way we wanted. I should have trusted myself. And so I love how you followed that up with like, well, let's see how it turns out. Let's like, take a look at the evidence. Like, let's allow ourselves to have an experiment, to do some trial and error and to see what evidence we get from it.
Speaker 2:Let's see what works, let's evaluate why it worked and let's repeat you know Absolutely, and it's about also within that process, which is another step that I take my clients through, is what part of your body are you feeling that thought from when you get that intuitive thought, that first thought? Where was the feeling in your body when you had that thought? And where was the feeling in your body when you have a second thought? Because they'll always be in two different places and one will always be the space that's going to lead you, true, and the more you find and get in tune with where those feelings sit in your body and how you can tap into that space, your intuition will grow and you'll stop questioning that second thought and you'll be able to give yourself a space.
Speaker 2:When you ask your husband for his input, how does that make my body feel? How does my body feel about that idea and could we tweak it? Or can we combine two ideas together? Can we be a collaborator on this project? Because parenting very much is and living in a partnership very much is. It's not always just going to be. One way is the highway, and so, yeah, always investigating and feeling where the feelings are coming from is also important.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I can imagine for you know the women who you help maybe they don't want to tune in with their feeling, because they actually feel a bit frustrated about it, or they feel angry about it because they, underneath it all, they know what they want but they're kind of ignoring it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And that's an uncomfortable place to be in.
Speaker 2:And also we're taught that feelings are good or bad, that a bad feeling or a good feeling, and it's just actually different feedback.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It doesn't have to mean that it's a bad thing. Like being angry isn't bad, feeling sad isn't bad. Feeling frustrated isn't bad. It's just a feeling that you need to express. Feeling frustrated isn't bad. It's just a feeling that you need to express, and sometimes there's going to be more productive ways to express that emotion.
Speaker 1:And if you give yourself the space to explore different ways to express those emotions, is is magic yeah, yeah, and I think working with you like having that opportunity to meet, whether that's sort of once a fortnight or once a week, however often you meet.
Speaker 1:Like how often do we in our lives unless we have someone like you who is our mentor or a coach how often would we sit with, say, a friend who well, first of all, let's find that friend who's like super supportive, super interested in like what we want to achieve in our businesses, for example, who wants to sit there and support us and guide us and give us like an hour of time to express all of that and gain clarity from that and work out action, aligned action, to take from that.
Speaker 1:How often do we get that in our lives, let alone once a week or once a fortnight? Yeah, you know, and I can just imagine the growth that your clients have from when they first come to work with you and then how long, like how much growth can happen within a matter of weeks, let alone months. And so maybe there is maybe a client story or a journey that's coming to mind right now where you can think of, where you know you've had someone come and work with you and, within a matter of like weeks or months. Their life has changed so dramatically from the work that you do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's probably the most recent one, which is one that I've shared to you, as my mentor is one of my clients who came to. She came to just one masterclass that I was running. It was sold as a manifesting masterclass and setting up your year for 2024. And she didn't believe that she could do that. The dreams that she had for 2024 were real or possible. But she knew she wanted to have them and so she attended.
Speaker 2:We'd had one-on-one healings previously, but she attended this masterclass and I was like do you believe that you can do it? She's like, not really. And I was like you realize? That's the key If you already don't believe that you can do it, you're not going to take the actions that you need to in your life to have the energetic world and the physical world match up so that this stream can come true, because that's what manifesting is. You can have a thought, but you need to match the thought with action, or the feeling with action, in order for it to come to fruition. And she was like, oh, and?
Speaker 2:So we went through the muscle testing one-on-one on this class call together and I showed her how to tap into that, how to test it in real life and to start testing it on the daily. And we tested the way that she was phrasing her goal or one of her goals for the year, and we tweaked the words. We just changed synonyms, adjectives, in order to change that phrase so that she believed it was possible. So it wasn't. Can I become an astronaut? It was like do you believe you can become an astronaut? Do you think it's possible to become an astronaut? And we went testing through all of those phrases and she found one that really fit and I said now hang on to that, hang on to that and then keep to that and then keep testing it, and then keep testing it and keep changing those phrases as the year progresses, so that you continue to resonate or believe that that phrase is correct.
Speaker 2:And within a few weeks she'd already met one goal. Within eight months she'd met the second one, which was totally outside of her belief system. She was like I think this is too lofty, I don't know enough. There were so many don'ts in front of it. And now she really believes in the magic, to the point where she's like I want to see how good 2025 can be beyond my wildest. So it's not tangible anymore. She wants audacious. She wants illogical expansion for 2025. And that was probably one of the biggest transformations for this year To have that woman go from. I don't think I can pay this off or I can't do this, which was it wasn't a small goal, but it wasn't intangible. So that was my biggest transformation to 2025.
Speaker 2:Wow, other than that, the biggest thing for this year is women coming back in touch with the idea that we our bodies go through many evolutions in our lifetime. We're teenagers, we're preteens, we're young adults, we're mothers, we're menopausal, we're premenopausal, we're all sorts of parts of our hormonal system play parts in our life, and we're told these stories that once you hear a certain period, it's an expiration date, not an exploration date, and so that's one of the big phrases I've had for this year is okay, so you've hit this point in your life. Let's explore how you can thrive there, just as you did here. So don't have an expiration date that perimenopause is struck and oh my gosh, now it's just hot flashes and misery. Or menopause is struck, oh no, now I can no longer have children, or I'm a grandmother now, or this means this or that.
Speaker 2:Let's just explore how we can thrive in that area, and that's been massive, like to have women completely turn their life upside down. She sold her business, she went overseas for, I think, like two months to explore who she wanted to be when she came back. Has come back and has gone. This isn't it. Let's dive in deeper because I want to explore who this is. Yeah, it's a transformation for this year, rather than just signing the check for I'm dead. Now you know like we just have to sail to the end of our lives in misery yes, I love that like going against the grain of, like cultural narratives.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was part of what I started my work on when I was helping mothers experience more pleasure. Like you know, essentialism, like when we decide that, well, when we've been told that the essence of something oh, the essence of motherhood is mundane and boring, and like forever giving, yeah, we internalize those narratives. That's where our baseline is, that's where we start and until we question those, we're not going to then find something else if we're just accepting that narrative, like unconsciously, yeah, same goes in business. I think there is such a. I mean, it's so celebrated, isn't it, where, unless you're being sued, like to be super productive and a capitalist society and being super busy and like boss, babe, culture and grind, hustle and grind, that that is what it looks like to grow your business, that it just has to be hard and it has to be a struggle. And a lot of what we have explored in the mastermind has been like well, is that actually something that I want to prescribe to? Is that a narrative that's going to serve me so?
Speaker 2:the reason why I signed up, because I was like I have spent so much time redesigning my life. I don't want to design a business. That doesn't align with that. I don't want to be. I don't want to be a boss babe, I don't want to. What was that? There was a trend I want a girl boss, too close to the sun, and it's like they're really stressed out now because they've they've become too successful. I'm like absolutely not Unsubscribe. That's not for me. I want to enjoy my life, I want to enjoy my clients. I want to enjoy my business.
Speaker 1:And when I stop enjoying it, I want to recreate it so I enjoy it again. Yeah, to evolve with me. Yeah, and I can imagine anyone who's listening to this who is considering working with me or joining the mastermind feels the same. And is that something that you've created within these last few months of us working together, like you've really sunk into that more, you've really started to create more clarity around that. You've really started to create that kind of a lifestyle in your business.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. Working with you has untangled the thoughts that I had so connected from childhood and the way I saw my parents run their businesses was that running business is hard, that making money was hard, that finding and maintaining clients was hard. And you have rewired our brains with your beautiful magic to question those thoughts. I'm like really, but how could we do it different? How do you want it to look? How could you achieve that? What would it take for those goals to come to life? And that's what I love about this work. You're like, yes, everything exists in polarity. There's going to be good things and bad things, but how can I find joy in those two, even if it's just the completion of it? That's joy. Let's. Let's do that yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:I was listening to something recently and it was talking about, basically, if you're not planned, if you haven't planned your 2025 by now, life's going to be chaotic. And if you take a break and switch off now and don't finish the year strong, you know you're never going to get ahead. Like this kind of a vibe, and I was like you don't have to like believe that. So I can imagine a lot of people being like oh quick, well, I need to somehow find this time amongst all the school concerts and the award ceremonies and the end of year parties and plus getting Christmas organized and trying to find a holiday time to have with my family. But I also now have to be like planning for the whole of next year. It's like, well, hang on a second.
Speaker 1:Maybe having a holiday is going to amplify and generate more momentum. Maybe, like connecting with your pleasure is going to make you more productive and, by the way, that's not a maybe. We know that that's the fact. Right, productivity follows pleasure. Maybe we can like consider what we want to achieve, maybe in the first couple of months of next year, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the year is going to be chaos because we haven't planned it all out. Yeah, like, let's consider, like, oh, do we want to actually subscribe to?
Speaker 2:that I know. I think into that exploration culture, like, oh no, you have to have everything figured out by New Year's Eve and I'm like, no, tomorrow's a new day. The next minute to next minute, the next month is the next month. Every day and every minute is a new start. Yeah, so choose which minute you want. Yeah, if you want this minute or the next minute, that's okay. If you haven't figured out 2025, you're just fine, right, but if you want to figure it out, let's make a plan for it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so do you feel like that has been one of the most transformative aspects, or is there another really transformative aspect of the mastermind for you like, personally or professionally, that you can think of?
Speaker 2:Yeah, personally, this is, I think, the way that you put it was. It was like the beginning stage of pregnancy You're like there's all this growth happening and you can't see any of it because there's no bump. You're just feeling like trash and I very much aligned not aligned with that, but I very much resonated with that at some points, because a lot of big things did come up through your work and you held such beautiful space for that and there was no expectation or like there was pressure. But no, not like you must. Oh no, we've. We've had this conversation already, julian, you know we've been over this.
Speaker 2:You gave such grace to that spiral or to that, um, little whirlpool that you can get stuck in when you're going through a growth phase. That was really valuable to me because you showed me again something that I really wanted in my growth journey, which was that not everything has to be hard and strict and have these really like solid edges. You can allow yourself to have that moment and it's okay, but you can also choose to do it differently again next time. Does that make any sense? Like I know, I got stuck in a little whirlpool in the middle where I was like I feel like I'm not moving anywhere, but I feel like I'm gaining so much in in the experience of that. I don't know if I've explained that very articulately, but you gave such grace to growth and that it didn't have to hit immediately. You didn't have to block the moment immediately and jump timelines automatically, but you held us there and you're like, oh yeah, this is similar too, and so you'd allow me to realize that, yes, we've been around this corner once before.
Speaker 2:How did you feel when we came out? Let's do that again now, and that was really beautiful for me. And sharing the space with women who also supported you along that journey, like it's. Women are gatherers and we're so much more powerful when we come together. And so to have a mastermind where we're coming together and holding and supporting each other and celebrating and commiserating all at the same time was just so lovely. And it always surprises me, like how you can think so little of yourself or highly of the other people in the group, and then I remember you're actually resonating with that person, jolene, so you are the same as them, whether they're experiencing things a little bit different at this point in time, you still resonated with their journey, so that's still. That's something that's possible for you, and that was super lovely too.
Speaker 1:I really enjoyed seeing the growth of the other people in the group and sharing and celebrating that, yeah, yeah, I think that's so important and I love that and, like I think it's coming up for me again to like bring this into the conversation the idea of, like, when we are business owners, when we are solopreneurs, you know, maybe we don't have any team members yet, maybe we, our peers, are around the world and you know we don't get to meet in an office every day, and so it can be really easy to feel alone. It can be really almost like deflating and disappointing to perhaps not have anyone in our life who does want to have those conversations, who can realize the kind of challenges that we move through and appreciate the milestones that we reach and celebrate the little and the big things you know.
Speaker 2:Absolutely To have someone to celebrate with. Like I know, recently I shared a celebration with you and you're like Julie, that's amazing, and I was like I know, and the ridiculous thing is is that I was celebrating someone else's results and that was a result of me celebrating them, and then I still forgot to celebrate me hilarious yeah, or like our brain does the thing where it just wants to like we kind of can acknowledge that it's a celebration, but then our brain immediately wants to like discredit or minimize or just like, yeah, but that wasn't good enough because, oh yeah, but that's not real because, you know, and I just think like let's find the optimal angle.
Speaker 1:Let's find the optimal angle of I don't know. I'm thinking like maybe a client has called in 10 new people to work with in a free experience and they're saying, like, well, I haven't created any clients yet. And I'm like you just called in 10 people. I'm like, oh, but they're not real because they're not paying. And I'm like, of course they're real, they're real people. You know, like we get to acknowledge that we want something more and what we have already created is worth celebrating, yeah, yeah. And I think that generates more of the pleasure. It generates more of that sense of accomplishment and also to the mindset shift around like, oh, what I'm doing is working, what I'm doing is working. And like you talked about with the pregnancy analogy, I might even share it.
Speaker 1:So the pregnancy analogy is basically like when we are perhaps we've made a pivot in our business or we're just relatively at the start of our business.
Speaker 1:We're in that growth phase and we're taking action and we're getting support and guidance and it feels like we're not creating any of those externally validating results yet.
Speaker 1:Sometimes it is like that first trimester of pregnancy where we can't see the growth, we can't feel any movement, we feel tired and maybe feels a bit uncomfortable, but that's actually often that is the most profound and important growth. That's like laying the foundations from, like the middle of pregnancy. All of the pieces of the baby are together. It's just growth then that happens. But when we're in those kind of first few years of our business, it can really feel like maybe it looks like we're not getting anywhere and what makes it pleasurable, like what make? Well, let me start this again what makes us unstoppable, achieving what it is we desire in our business, is being able to be with that messy middle bit, being able to be in that uncomfortable part, or being able to like fail with pleasure, like oh, I didn't achieve it this time and I'm still going to identify the pleasure pieces and I'm still going to like weave in joy and gratitude and celebration.
Speaker 2:It's so powerful it really resonated with me as someone who is only two years within this evolution of my business. That really resonated.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And to be able to then integrate that with what I'm doing with my clients as well. I'll have that extra resource of grace to give them in those periods as well.
Speaker 1:It's yeah, beautiful, yeah, okay. So G tell me what is next for you now that you have created such a beautiful foundation of pleasure in business, now that you have started to really grow in such a sustainable way and that you have gained so much momentum from being in the mastermind, what's next? What's next for you now?
Speaker 2:I'm so excited for 2025, 2025. I have some really big plans that I'm not going to share with you because you already know them. But what about the listeners? What about the listeners? I would love to have a physical space in 2025 where women and community gather and share and we have more beautiful, magnetic, spiritually led businesses in that space as well, where you can almost be like a one-stop shop for educating yourself, expanding yourself, re-evaluating and caring for yourself and creating space and, yeah, creating space for yourself on a regular schedule and so that the women of the Illawarra, which is where we're based, can really step into their power in this moment where there's so much change going on in the world and we can reclaim our rights as putting ourselves first and being valued and valid.
Speaker 1:I can't wait to see those desires of yours come to life.
Speaker 2:I'm so very excited and I can feel them so close now, Like it's we were talking about that this round and I've always had those feelings that something's, you know, it's within my reach, but now it's almost like I've just got to pick it up off the kitchen bench.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it feels very much like that. Okay, my love. Lastly, talking about the mastermind, if someone is listening and wondering if this mastermind is for them, what would you say to them?
Speaker 2:if you're wondering, then it's already for you. That's exactly what Kat said. You're wondering about something like let this be the you testing your intuition and you wondering is that first thought that your intuition has given you Don't wonder anymore. Jump into Kat's DMs, jump into my DMs, jump into the beautiful Regan's DMs and, yeah, take the plunge. The signing up for round two actually even signing up for round one was the easiest decision I ever made. The easiest decision because it was my first inclination. I knew, when I met Regan, and I knew that the way that she worked and the way that she holds herself so authentically and so consistently in this space of desire, and seeing how she has led her life that way, knew that that's how I wanted to live my life. I was like, oh, that's heaven, I want to live there. And once you get a taste of Regan's energy, you don't like, it's intoxicating. So take a bite, take the plunge, sign up and yeah, say yes, dive in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like how you mentioned like take a bite, because we're talking. This is like come full circle talking about deliciousness.
Speaker 2:We have. Yeah, take a bite.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think, even just for me, like when I'm thinking about investing in my business and I've invested in my new mentor for next year, and same thing. It's like honoring that desire and knowing that the worst that can happen is that I've chosen to invest in myself, I've chosen to get myself some support, like I've actually allowed myself to honor what it is that I want.
Speaker 2:That shit's powerful, so powerful, you know like. Follow that first intuitive thought that's gone. Oh, that's interesting. I'd really love to do that.
Speaker 1:And I bet. Then the next thought, the second thought, comes in and says that that's your beautiful brain saying like, oh shit, new, unfamiliar territory. And your brain will say, oh no, but I couldn't do that. Or yeah, but because I've got X, Y and Z going on in my life. You know, blah, blah, blah. Or no, that's not for me. Or like or no, that's not for me. Or, you know, fill in the blank, Our brain gives us all these reasons to not and I'm not just talking about joining the mastermind here either in this instance but our brain will give us all of these reasons to not go into that unfamiliar territory. But it is the unfamiliar territory where the desires and the goals and the milestones exist.
Speaker 2:If it wasn't new territory, they wouldn't be goals and milestones and desires, they would be like where we are right now and absolutely, I promise you, the more that you start prioritizing your needs and getting support for those needs, it's not actually adding more to your plate, it's actually taking more off your plate. It's creating more space on your plate so that you can achieve those things that feel big and enormous and too big to handle. It's the Sherpa on the track. You know it's the person who's helping you get up to that next step. And never have I looked back at a mentoring program that I've been a part of and gone. Oh well, that was a waste of time. Never. Even if I wasn't there for very long, it's always been of value, always.
Speaker 1:Oh, thank you so much for today. Thank you, before we wrap up, is there anything that you feel like you want to share or anything we haven't spoken about that you feel like you want to bring into this conversation?
Speaker 2:No, I love our chats. I'm just excited to help more women prioritize themselves and show them that as soon as they do that, everyone else benefits.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's it. That's a huge one. And acknowledging that, whilst we don't have to prioritize ourselves in order to benefit other people, I think it's really important for us to consider the benefits to other people when we do allow ourselves to prioritize ourselves, like it's not selfish.
Speaker 2:No, and prioritizing yourself isn't deprioritizing someone else.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's putting food on your plate too.
Speaker 1:So good, oh my gosh. Thank you so much, jillian. Where can people find you, you?
Speaker 2:can find me on Instagram at according to Gigi. You can find me on the internet at according to Gigicom, and hopefully soon you can come to my space.

Speaker 1:My pleasure. That wraps up today's episode, but before I sign off, I want to let you know that doors to the next round of the Pleasurepreneur Mastermind are now open. You're listening to this podcast because you know you can have both the income and the pleasure-filled life you desire, and the mastermind is where that becomes a reality for you. If you've decided 2025 is your year to create multiple four-figure months in your business, whilst being able to enjoy your life like savoring slow mornings, snuggling your babes in bed, spending quality time with your family or doing things that you enjoy outside of your business as well as in, you're going to love and totally transform yourself and your business inside the mastermind. It's my five-month group coaching experience, where we apply the key pleasurepreneur principles and strategies that actually move the needle to create multiple four-figure months so that you save your time, your energy and your presence for where it counts.
Speaker 1:The Mastermind is where you learn how to grow your income, sign more clients, help more people and create a life that feels outrageously delicious and pleasure-filled for you. It's also the place where you're celebrated, supported and witnessed by an intimate group of women who get it. You can apply right away by clicking the link in the show notes. Or, if you're curious and you want to learn more, send me a DM on Instagram and let's have a chat. You can also head to reaganfigcom, forward slash mastermind or click the link in the show notes, but then I don't get to hear all about you and your business goals and desires for next year, which would be a bummer for me. But you follow what you desire and if you have any questions, of course, send them my way.
Speaker 1:We don't begin officially until February, but the sooner you join, the more bonuses you'll get, such as coaching with me this side of the new year. Because it's an intimate group with only a maximum of eight women inside. Be sure to make yourself known to me sooner rather than later, as spaces are limited. All right, that's it for me. Thanks so much for tuning in. Bye for now.
