(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) So I've been in two minds about what direction I should be taking this podcast in. Because the truth is, I've changed. My life looks a lot different from when I started this podcast. My energy is different and the things I want to talk about, well, they go a lot deeper and are a lot more woo and out of this world now. So before we dive in, wherever you are listening to this podcast, I want you to take a breath with me. Just a big inhale and an exhale. Letting the shoulders drop. Letting go of whatever needs to be let go of. Maybe you want to take another one. Inhaling some clarity and just exhaling any expectation. Looking back on who I was, working in radio, chasing validation, the hustle, constantly on, totally disconnected from my body to losing the job, being somewhat lost in a new country, relearning my old or re-understanding my own identity, discovering all the different types of modality, the unconditional love that existed within me, that was given to me and finding myself in a place of like alignment, surrender, motherhood and ultimately purpose. I'll be honest with you, there was a time where I thought happiness was something that I had to work for and now I know it's something that I get to breathe into, to ease into, to allow myself to just be. And the cosmic joke of actually not having to try to get anything that I want but also getting everything that I want without trying is a beautiful realisation that I have. But I'm really in this point of transition now with this podcast because this podcast used to be about exploring the world out there, all of the adventures that I found myself in, the real, raw, truthful, honest stuff, which is why it was called the Misadventurous Podcast. But now it's about exploring the worlds within and is it still misadventures if I am exploring my own inner world and hoping to help you explore yours? There is a beautiful theme that has come up for me and it's something that I think rings true and is almost the foundation of a core belief system that I have within myself and you know it's boiling down to something that I want to write a book about, experiences that I want to bring breathwork into, products and bundles and digital stuff online that I'm creating, particularly in terms of the videos and content you get from me and the reflections of manifesting and motherhood, right? Because everything I do now from the workshops to a possible book comes back to one thing, how the small intentional moments compound into a life that feels aligned, peaceful and full. So I thank you for coming on this journey with me but this is going to be a very interesting chat this episode because this is a real one, this is a real, raw, honest goodie but the conversation doesn't stop there. This is the Misadventurous Podcast hosted by me, Tiffany Rouge. Life is one big adventure and it all starts from taking that one teensy tiny step outside of your comfort zone. So I've been sitting with this for some time now and I'm just gonna get a little bit closer to the mic. I reapply all of the audio radio experience that I have. I don't know if you can hear it but there might be a little bit of a difference in the sound quality and even the sound of my voice. For those of you that have been listening and who have been listening long enough to know that this isn't how my voice sounds normally, you're right. That is because I am currently two weeks into the throes of whatever disease my son has brought home from childcare and bless his cotton socks, he can't help it and neither can I. The boy loves giving open mouth drool filled kisses on the mouth to me. So as much as I have really tried not to catch his germs, it is somewhat impossible. So yeah, I'm sure I could go into a lot more chat around motherhood, around what that's like, how that feels, where that's going and I would love to talk more a lot about it. I guess where I am at the moment is I've really been feeling a little bit like at this crossroads because if you've listened to I guess the recent season of the Miss Adventurous podcast, you'll know that I've had a really nice year in terms of time for myself and I recognize that as a mother, a lot of women are not afforded that opportunity. So I am so grateful and I recognize how lucky I am to have been given such a long time away from certain responsibilities and roles that I've had to play, you know, through that there's been a bit of learning on it. But yeah, the gratitude for that is, you know, I could only say yes to it and it turned out to be the best thing for me this year in a completely unselfish way. And sure, there were times where I did feel quite selfish in terms of like when I just got on a flight to Melbourne or when I booked myself a flight to Bali, but all of it has worked in the grander picture, in the grander scheme of things to everything's worked out favourably for a lot of reasons on a lot of levels. And yeah, saying yes, which was a very interesting time, you know, just to actually say yes and actually get some beautiful time for myself, like eight whole weeks of not having to be a mum, but to just be able to live in my life and work and go on solo adventures, deepen my own spiritual practices with a two year old or almost two year old. Yeah, you know, like it brought up a lot of stuff, thoughts of whether or not I should be doing it and just being able to tune into what was actually alive in me at that time, but also going into it because there was a lot of stress leading into this eight week trip that my partner had taken my son on, but it's beautiful and it's great. And it really has just left me with so much clarity on some things, but also moments of like, what the hell am I doing? You know, because yeah, if you, if you have been listening to the Miss Adventurous podcast for a long time, you'll know that these episodes aren't very structured. They're quite raw. There is a lot of stream of consciousness going on, but it all ties together in the end for a reason. And I've had to really think about, I guess, what I want to offer the world in terms of, you know, how I can help, how I can give love to others in a way that is truly uniquely mine, but also sharing my story. So using the experiences and the skills and everything that, and the lessons that I've learned to be able to give in a way that is uniquely me and that gift and the way that I share that love, I've really been questioning lately because the decision that Fi and I made at the start of this year to pause our open to the public breath work still sits, you know, and I found a lot of purpose in being able to give those sessions to the public. And now if I'm not giving that, how am I giving that love? And I guess that's why I've started to redo the podcast again, because it's like, how do I, how do I give in the method that I feel is truly and uniquely me in a way that I can help others? So for a long time, it's been my intention to be helpful to share the real raw honestness of it because we are in this world where everything is digital and, you know, I'm sure you'll listen to this podcast in some digital way, but it's the realness and the rawness that I'm sure you don't get on a social media feed. And I've been really questioning how much of this unstructured realness and rawness do I need to give? Do you want to listen to, do you want to receive from me? And sitting with that question has given me so many options to put in some structure into the podcast and to bring in certain topics that I will discuss and, you know, how they flow in and flow out of my life. You know, I've even been thinking about writing a book, you know, and a book on, I guess, you know, part memoir, but also part understanding and what I know about life, right? Because something that I, in whatever form this new adventure takes, the new misadventurous, and that term has been used so many times on this podcast, whatever turn this adventure takes, there is the overarching theme of compounding. Now I used to think it was compounding experience, and yes, there is a lot to compounding experience, but it's more compounding alignment. And when, you know, I played around with some chat GPT discussion and some words, but the thing that really feels very true in terms of compounding alignment for me is the fact that like every small little moment and every action and every outcome that occurs in our lives is putting us either in alignment from what we have done in the past, or is setting us up for some alignment in the future. And knowing this absolute baseline, like that is the, the full stop period of all of my life's lessons. And I'm sure I'm not alone. And I'm sure it's a very easy to understand concept, but I'm hoping that if you've come on this journey with me, which is listened to the misadventurous podcast over the last like eight years that I've been doing, and it's crazy to think that I've been doing it on and off for eight years, you are the longest thing that I've been doing. If you've listened to this podcast from the start, and if you haven't, you know, thanks for joining me. Thanks for being here. But there's been, you know, I'm sure wherever you're tuning in from, there's been a lot of change. And I guess that's the one constant that we can come to rely on in our life is that change is going to continue to occur, whether we hope to navigate it, win at it, you know, find smooth sailing waters again. But the reality is that we can't undo it. We can't redo it. We just have to almost ride that wave. And what I've been understanding is how I navigate through this wave, right? And this whole thing about me getting free time and, you know, being mum slash mum slash baby free for like eight weeks and having this beautiful year of time for myself, I've had to just navigate through that and ride that wave, but also understand how the alignment or how that is compounded into my own alignment into where I am right now. So it's a really interesting situation that I find myself in because I'm at this point where I want to continue to assist others, particularly women who are transitioning, who are navigating change and help with my story, with the framework that I have created, with, you know, my support, with tools, with equipping others with the tools like breath, like ritual, like ceremony, like inner reflection, like journaling, like listening, like being in tune with our own intuition and how to listen, how to understand what that intuition is. And I think it's a really beautiful place to be, to be able to give this gift. But I guess the challenge that I found is when I hit record on this podcast, finding the path from what I talk about when most of the time it's not very scripted, it's just me talking and then how that relates to me putting something, content out there that can help others. So the beautiful thing about this podcast is that I never intended for it to be a one-way conversation. I always, always, always, and I think, you know, if you've listened to a few Misadventures podcast episodes before, you'll know that I end a lot of episodes with hit me up on Instagram, let's start the conversation or let's continue the conversation. And I think that's really important because, you know, you can consciously consume what I'm putting out, but how much are you integrating it? How much are you talking about it with others? How much are you even reflecting on it rather than it just, you know, coming in one ear and then going out the other? What of this has stopped you in your tracks in this time? And I genuinely want to know because that's how I'll get an understanding of this podcast, how and who and what way it can help. So I have created a little questionnaire. And if you are someone who wants to contribute into the way that I contribute and give love, because my love language is a gift giving. And I like to think that every podcast episode for the work that's involved is my gift to you, but I would love a gift in return. And Hey, my birthday's coming up. I would love the birthday gift of you telling me what you think, whether or not you dig a lot of the stuff that I talk about the spirituality, the manifestation, the intuition stuff, why you listen. So I've made a little survey and there's a link to it in the show notes. And if you give me some words, your thoughts on the Miss Adventurous podcast, I have a little gift in exchange for you, which is a little breathwork practice. It's a beautiful recording that you can put on at any point in your day and just have a little reset, a little moment for you, whether you're feeling stressed or you just want to take some time for yourself, or it's a really sunny day and you want to just sit and be with yourself in a nice way, just to reset your mood, bring some calm in and to take, you know, a few deep, beautiful breaths with me. So yeah, that's my gift as a thanks for telling me where you sit with the Miss Adventurous podcast. And I honestly really do look forward to hearing what you have to say and where this goes. And if you want to collab genuinely, I am opening all of the channels here to make this a two-way conversation or a three-way conversation or a multiple way conversation. So help me understand more about what you want from me. And I will try my hardest to give it to you. Well, that's almost it for me here on Miss Adventurous.
