PART 1: Unearthing Your 'Why'
Embark on a transformative journey with us, Tracy Elizabeth and Nicole Heller, as we delve into the profound quest of uncovering your 'why'. This heart-to-heart conversation is more than a reflection; it's an invitation to kindle the fire in your belly that ignites unstoppable motivation. Prepare to be inspired as we guide you through an exercise designed to clarify the deepest driving forces behind your health, career, finances, and everyday choices. Armed with pen and paper, you're set to embark on a personal odyssey that promises to empower you with the clarity to forge the life you've always imagined.
Last week, we grappled with the concept of necessary endings, and it's brought us to this pivotal moment of self-discovery. This episode is your prelude to a deeper exploration into the reasons that fuel our actions, reasons that remain unwavering in the face of life's tightropes. Remember, when your 'why' is as solid as bedrock, the 'how' becomes a mere formality. So, lend us your ears and join forces with us on this transformative quest, as we prepare to wield the power of an intrinsic 'why' that can move mountains and shape destinies.

Welcome to FU Betoite Empowering Women to Live Healthier Lifestyles. I'm Tracy Elizabeth, I'm Nicole Haller and we are back. I love being back. We're all about getting your shit together, huh.
Speaker 2:All about it, 2024.
Speaker 1:So we're going to take a few moments just to prepare for next week's episode, which we are both so passionate about.
Speaker 2:Like incredibly passionate.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you want to tell them what it is. It's the why, the why for what?
Speaker 2:The why, for all the things, yeah.
Speaker 1:So I know I have a lot of people that say I don't know my why.
Speaker 2:Of course, and that really frustrates us. Well, because we didn't know our why for like forever. That is true, but I think it's normal because it's just it's so hard to no, I don't know. It's so easy to have, like a why that is, you know, an opinion or a why that is, you know, a positive reinforcer or a negative reinforcer, an intrinsic why is a whole nother story. So I think we want to come together and do an episode on that intrinsic why that is going to push you through things in life that can't, that nothing can rock, you know. So we want to do an episode on that. But in order to come to an episode on that, we wanted to give you a little bit of homework.
Speaker 2:So this episode today is, you know, just taking this week ahead of sitting down to create some clarity for yourself. You know, get some quiet time for yourself with a pen and paper and just write down five things that you believe are your why. You know, what is your why for your health? What is your why for your job? What is the why for finances? The things you do in your life, the things you do every day. Why do you do them? You know what is your driving force. Why do you do the things that you do? Because we truly believe that, why we do what we do. Once we have that rock solid, the how becomes so easy. So why don't you read our quote? Because we're coming off of our episode, you know, last week when we did our fuel for thought on necessary endings, the book that we love. So this quote kind of led us into thinking about you know how important the why is for us and why we wanted to come into this little homework piece 2024 is all about Nicole getting Tracy to read.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's crazy to me that I'm such a book dork. We're really good friends and she doesn't read like ever.
Speaker 1:I spent so many years in school that whatever, all right. So here we go, guys. Whenever people have to do a necessary task, they need sustainable motivation. They have. They have got to have enough fire in their bellies for the new to put an old. I said that. I got to read that again. They have to have enough fire in their bellies for the new to put an end to the old. Otherwise, when it gets tough, they want to go back and pull out of the change.
Speaker 2:So I think that thinking about a why so rock solid that it creates a fire in your belly that you literally can do anything. So, like when you think about an, envisioned something like you're walking across a tight rope and you're definitely afraid of heights. So if you tell me to walk across the tight rope for $20, I'm going to tell you to take a walk. But if you speak, you're from personal experience.
Speaker 2:I made to do that? Yes, but if you tell me to walk across the tight rope because my kids are on the other side and they need me, I'm going. So like keeping that mindset there when you're writing this list of five things that are really your why, come to the podcast next week on our why really with those things in mind, and also we want to encourage you to find this next week that carve out that little space for yourself. You know that five minutes a day, or even if it's one time this week, we're just taking that opportunity, you know, to just sit with yourself for clarity and reflect on where you are.
Speaker 1:I think that'll be really cool and I think when you're writing that list, what's really important is to reread the list and ask yourself again why did I put that there? Why is that there? How is that going to change myself? How is that going to change maybe, the people in your life? How is that going to influence or impact? Because I think when we get into that episode next week on why it's really about layering your why, we really want you to have five things on that list that are thoughtful, right, so that we can really dive deep into that, getting rock solid on your why.
Speaker 2:Yeah, going a little deeper.
Speaker 1:Going deeper, guys, going deeper.
Speaker 2:Making a little bit more meaningful.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2:All right, so that's your homework. Maybe get yourself a cute little notebook, cute little-.
Speaker 1:I mean, I have so many little notebooks.
Speaker 2:I have so many.
Speaker 1:I am a writer. Guys Like I do like to read and I like to listen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm definitely a reader. I have a ton of books. I have a ton of ton of journals she does. But I prefer so when it comes to writing, like I'm a big paper writer, like I'll write on a million pieces of paper and not like in a book and have like the papers all over the place. But when it comes to books, I have a ton of books.
Speaker 1:Well, if you're not a reader, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave with this. If you're not a reader like myself, I do have to say I did enjoy this book and I do believe that you have to find the right book, and you have to find the right book with what it is that you're feeling Like, what you like I'm. I'm actually working on necessary endings, so I took a lot of notes and I reflected through this book, so I'm really excited to come back with the why, because I think that that is a huge piece that many of us miss when we're walking life.
Speaker 2:And if you have questions on that like I've read a ton of books, if you are in a place in your life where you're curious about reading a book, about the place you are in your life, just shoot us a little DM and I might have a recommendation for you. I'm just saying I definitely have a recommendation. All right, guys. Well, thank you for hanging with us today. We are looking forward to a why episode with you next week. I hope you come with your little bit of homework, so we will see you, guys, next week. Thank you for hanging with us. We'll see you again. Bye guys, bye guys.
