HOW TO make it a F#$K YES
Ever had one of those mornings where everything that could go wrong, does? We've been there too, and in this heartfelt episode, we share our rough morning tales while emphasizing the transformative power of transparency and authenticity. We dive deep into the concept of "surrender" and discuss why building a solid foundation—whether through relationships, community, or faith—is essential before you can truly let go and grow. We also touch upon those pivotal moments in life that push us from merely wanting to surrender to needing to surrender, encouraging women to embrace their worthiness and vulnerability.
Imagine saying "yes" to all of life's experiences and discovering unexpected positive outcomes. That's exactly what we explore as we discuss the significance of surrendering to the present moment. We share personal stories about the challenges of motherhood, friendship, and battling self-doubt, highlighting the internal resistance and imposter syndrome that many of us face. Listen to how embracing vulnerability can transform your confidence and how personal health and well-being influence our behavior and interactions with others.
Creating a robust community of women ready to take action is at the heart of our vision. From overcoming impatience and negativity to becoming more self-aware and open to growth, we discuss the importance of surrounding ourselves with supportive and challenging friends. Get excited about the launch of our online community, designed to foster a no-nonsense environment where honest feedback and encouragement are the norms. Join us as we aim to inspire and support each other on our journey of self-improvement, all while maintaining a "fuck yes" mindset.

Hey, welcome to Few of the Thought empowering women to live healthier lifestyles. I'm Tracy Elizabeth, I'm Nicole Heller and we are here just getting our shit together. It is so together Trying.
Speaker 2:I think it's together and I'm excited that we're here today Me too.
Speaker 1:I love it. We had a rough morning this morning.
Speaker 2:We did have a rough morning, but we made it here, and I think that that's the theme of this podcast today.
Speaker 1:True, off morning but we made it here and I think that that's the theme of this podcast today. True transparency we text, we FaceTime this morning saying should we cancel?
Speaker 2:our day. Yeah, because you, you had a long, a numb leg and I was afraid that I was going to poop my pants. So I think that being real is really important. That is very true. I mean, I actually put up a post the other day that you can't be beautiful and gastrointestinally intact at the same time, and I think that's no truest statement has ever been told. It's the truth. I mean, whatever I think being real is important. 43 is no joke.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 43. In our 40s. It's okay, it's all good, I got numb issues. I got back issues.
Speaker 2:It's okay, but look, we're good though we're here. We came here for, but we got everything else going on. It's fine. I had a hairnet on this morning. I said don't worry, I'll be good, I'm gonna take the hair. I did say we were supposed to be here at 11 o'clock today and it was 9 30.
Speaker 1:I live an hour away and you still had a hairnet on and I was like wait a minute, how are we doing this?
Speaker 2:today I had a hairnet, an ice pack on my leg, but I think that it's a perfect um introduction into what this podcast was about today, because our last podcast that we talked about was, um, if it's not a fuck yes, then it's a hell no. And like, how do you really get to that point in your life where you can be that strong in your conviction in areas of life where you're like no, like, if it's not a fuck yes, then it's a hell no. But how do you get there, like, in your confidence, in your strength, in your bravery, in your courage? Like, how do you get there?
Speaker 2:like, I don't think we're there every day, clearly, definitely right so like that's why I wanted to bring some realness today and just be open and honest, and like I want women to hear us and walk away feeling like, you know, there are some days I don't feel that way, but it's okay and we have to tap into our worthiness, tap into you know our vulnerability and surrender yeah. Like I want to really like talk about that word surrender. How do you feel about it? I?
Speaker 1:sigh, you say that word. It's a hard word, it is. I think it's a sometimes it's a place of relief and then I think sometimes it's a place of fear. Yeah, my anxiety kicks in, Trying to find a way to cope with whatever I'm dealing with. And then that piece of surrender comes in and says how am I going to do it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it's a scary word for some people. So when I think about surrender, I think that you have to establish a foundation in your life first. Well, that's why it's scary. Well, yeah, of course, but I don't think you can truly surrender until the foundation is there Right. So I think that it starts with, as a woman, making a commitment to establish the foundation. So I'm not here to say that, right now, you need to just go surrender. I'm here to say right now, you need to decide to establish the foundation. So, maybe it's you know conversations with a spouse. Maybe it's deciding to establish community with other women. Maybe it's deciding to establish you know faith with a spouse. Maybe it's deciding to establish community with other women. Maybe it's deciding to establish you know faith in your life. Maybe it's you know, whatever it may be, there has to be a foundation of support and love right Before you can truly let the guard down of surrendering. Do you think, though, before?
Speaker 1:you get to that place of identifying the need of a foundation, that it's more about a feeling to surrender, like do you think that something has to happen in your life to kick that in and say it's time, like, I have to surrender. Or do you think that people can actually walk in there with the mental clarity and mindset to say they want to, rather than they need to, surrender?
Speaker 2:no, I don't, I don't, I think, no, I think that there comes a time in your life where it's necessary. I really do. If not, we just walk through life with such a chip, such an ego, that we miss so much, and growth can truly never happen if we don't surrender to those things. Actually, I had a quote on my phone that I saw that I wanted to read. Let me get to my photos here. It said always say yes to the present moment, surrender to what is say yes to life, and see how life starts suddenly to work for you rather than against you.
Speaker 2:So, like, I truly believe that Like, if we're not surrendering, we're always wanting to see things our way, we're always wanting to do things our way. We're not willing to learn, we're not willing to be open, we're not willing to you know experience, not willing to be open, we're not willing to, you know, experience, we're just willing to do things our way, set in our ways, and not willing to experience other things. And maybe, just maybe, it's better another way and that to me is scary to not surrender to those things, and I know that that's hard. Like, like, I get that and I feel like that's so scary, like, yeah, I know that that's hard and surrendering is so hard and it's vulnerable, and but I think that confidence starts to come and living starts to come from that. And how beautiful can it be to start living and experiencing from that.
Speaker 2:You know, I think that that's a beautiful thing, but confidence then comes from that and, like, when that starts building, when you start getting stronger and you start experiencing things, then it starts getting easier to say fuck, yes, yeah, you know, like and I know that there's some days, like we were talking right before this started that there's some days like we think about momhood and you know, there's some days that I don't really feel like maybe I'm not the right mom, like maybe I'm not the right maybe I'm not the right mom for all three or four of my children, maybe for one of them, maybe not all of them, you know, maybe I'm not the right wife some days, maybe I'm not the right best friend for you some days, you know, maybe I'm not the best friend for Kim some days, like, maybe I'm not the right health coach some days, like, everybody has their resistance, everybody has their insecurities, everybody has their imposter syndrome, like, and I think that's so normal, you know.
Speaker 2:But I think that it's okay to understand that there's that battle inside all of us and lean into that, reflect on it, know that that internal resistance is no one but yours and you have to push past that and believe that you're worthy, know that there's a path for you that's set for you and continue to push past that. Continue to know that it's your own resistance she's hitting me already.
Speaker 1:Sorry, but it is. It's your own, it's your own resistance.
Speaker 2:Like you're creating that resistance, you're creating your internal limiting beliefs.
Speaker 1:So let's talk about that vulnerability piece, because we both can sit here and say all of that, but also can reflect on times in our lives when we didn't have that, when we weren't open to surrendering.
Speaker 2:So what I was disgusting, I had such a guard up, that-.
Speaker 1:We were just talking about that. Her voice actually got very calm when she surrendered.
Speaker 2:And you started to feel healthy 100% and she her language changed.
Speaker 2:Yes, terrence actually said to me and you guys all heard our last podcast where we dropped the F-bomb all the whole time and Terrence actually asked me he was like in that last podcast did you like beep out the f-word the entire time? And I was like actually no. And he was like that's so interesting, because you never drop the f-bomb at home anymore. Before you got healthy, like I used to f all over the house like all the time. And he's like now that you got healthy, like you don't really speak that way and I'm like that's so interesting, like I didn't really notice that. But I was much more aggressive when I was overweight. I mean, I don't understand the correlation, but now I understand the correlation Like I was aggressive, I was unapproachable, I was guarded, you know, and that was just guarded is the right word. It was don't talk to me like I'm unapproachable, I don't want to be seen. I don't talk to me like I'm unapproachable, I don't want to be seen, I don't want to be heard. Keep your distance. This is who I am.
Speaker 2:Like that's what take a she used to exactly like back up, like I don't want anything to do with anything. You got like like this but it wasn't you, it wasn't other people, it was me. You know, and you were the same.
Speaker 1:Don't even think, no one second nobody was trying to talk to you then. I was definitely not approachable.
Speaker 2:For real.
Speaker 1:I was a person with no patience at all for anything, including my son For real. Yeah, I'm still loud. That's never going to go away.
Speaker 2:I think I'm still loud.
Speaker 1:I think that we're both still loud. Yeah, I think that definitely lack of patience was my thing, Like I had no time for anything, and it was just I also had no time, that I felt like I didn't need to learn, that I didn't need anybody telling me anything. And still today you'll say something to me. You see the shoulders go up and you see how far you want to push me, and then maybe you'll stop and save it for another day. But that piece is that awareness and stepping into what I have already learned is self-reflection. What I already learned is seeking that clarity what do I need in my life? What do I have to, you know, improve in my life? And that took a lot of time, but that took going through those motions prior before I got there to build that foundation. Like you said, it was gross. I don't want to be that person anymore. I don't want to be that negative person anymore be that person anymore.
Speaker 2:I don't want to be that negative person anymore. But I think there's so many women that are feeling that guarded, feeling that feeling that you know they get in the elevator and their heads down. I was there, you know, and when you're there, like the inability to compliment other women, the inability to you know, be that, be that person. Like actually said to someone the other day um, let me know, if I'm not offending you, that means I'm not doing my job properly, you know, and she started laughing and I'm like I don't want to be the woman that's just gonna, you know, stay status quo with you. Like I want to push you. I want to make you feel like your shoulders are up. I want us to get better together.
Speaker 2:Like it took me so long to become that person, I want to be that person If I'm not pissing you off, let me know I'm not doing my job. Like I want to make your shoulders go up. I want you to be better because I love you. Like if I'm, I think that a really good level of our friendship is. Like if I'm not pushing you. I feel bad saying this because so many people are going to be like damn, like, if I'm not pushing you and I'm not making your shoulders go up a little bit, you got to be like. Oh man, I don't know what my level of friendship is with Nicole. That is true, because like I push the people that I love, I, I want to see you get better.
Speaker 1:Like it's also part of who you are to for yourself and it makes you, it drives you, to also want to do better. Yeah, like to want to feel better and to want to. So you know, the biggest point part for your journey is surrounding yourself with people that are like that.
Speaker 2:And it's, but it's hard to find those people too. Sure, yeah, like it's hard to find women that want to ask you the hard questions.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've been on a mission to seek people outside of my circle.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying Well, that also push puts us to. The other thing that we wanted to talk about is that we want to put together, you know, a Facebook group. Yes, we want to put together a Facebook group of just this. We want to build more of a community. We do have our Instagram, which is amazing, but, like, we want to put together a community of women, just like this.
Speaker 1:You know, women who are Women that are ready to take action. Yes, yes, women that are ready to seek other women because they want to get to a place to learn how to build this foundation Right. To learn how to say like, if it's not a fuck, yes, it's a.
Speaker 2:Right and people that want to take the steps to building. Yeah.
Speaker 1:How do we get to the point where we want to say fuck, yes, yes, you know, like I know like a no bullshit page like yeah, we want to pull together and support each other and take action yeah, and like thinking about hosting events.
Speaker 2:Yeah, women coming together, thinking about, about the parties, yeah, thinking about even traveling together, things like that, things that we want to really come together as strong women and building the foundation, like we talked about in the beginning of the podcast, like starting the foundation of coming together to get to the point where we're at that. Fuck, yes, movement, yeah, you know really that community of women coming together where if I'm not pissing you off, then I'm not doing my job I'm gonna put that on a shirt yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1:you want to be pissed off here?
Speaker 2:contact me, that's gonna be part of our merch.
Speaker 1:If.
Speaker 2:I'm not pissing you off, I'm not doing my job.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I think that that's a beautiful you know thing to be around like. We're all. We all have our internal battles, you know we're all. We're all going with our you know. We all have our resistance. But a lot of times that internal resistance is our own insecurities, it's our own limiting belief and in order to push past that we have to surrender. But in order to surrender we have to have the foundation, and that foundation is a community. It's women who are going to be that safety net while you surrender. Like what's catching you when you surrender? God has something to catch you when you surrender.
Speaker 1:I like that she could put that on your shirt too.
Speaker 2:We got so many shirts coming. I'm so excited about that.
Speaker 1:But, like, once you have that confidence to you know, feel that and work on that, then you could say if it's not a fuck, yes, it's a hell, no, yeah I think you know so many people ask us and or they say to us like, oh, you forget, like you don't know what it feels like, or you're so put together, oh, I know what it feels like.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no. Like I know and I'm reminded every day and you know we'll say it all the time Like, if you want to be held accountable, you have to find the people that are going to hold you accountable or you have to take the actions, that there's measurement there for that accountability. And every single morning I spend 20 minutes looking at my Facebook memories, like, like. I am reminded of that 300 pound person that was on a health journey six years ago. I'm reminded about that insecure mother who battled with postpartum, who felt alone with that void. I am that person that was running around Suffolk County working all these crazy hours, literally the fat girl eating in the car and, depressed, literally went through rotations of Taco Bell and Burger King.
Speaker 2:What about pushing the wrapper to the bottom of the garbage pail? Oh yeah, that too. I mean, that was my jam. I'm just saying, shout out to everybody out there pushing the wrapper to the bottom of the garbage pile or hiding it behind the pillow in your couch, I know, but then somebody always found it.
Speaker 1:I have four kids. I'm by myself. I only have one kid. No, but you have one kid.
Speaker 2:I have four kids. The probability of somebody finding it is much higher.
Speaker 1:They were hiding theirs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my probability was much higher. I had to go to the bottom of the trash can.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I could think back of all those times but like, and we go back to think about that foundation and having that clarity. Like you know, I just sent somebody a video this morning and who's almost reaching Wonderland, she's at 201. And she came back a few months ago and said Okay, I'm all in, like I need your accountability. I'm like same thing.
Speaker 1:Like you, you're not to like me and if you're not going to like me, then we're doing this because you're three times around Like what's the difference? And at that point in her life she really couldn't tell the difference, other than the feeling of I need to do this, like I want to do this. So she's been very consistent. She's been taking the actions every day to hold herself accountable. She had a lot of things going on this past, last month even including an engagement party for her son where there was like all the desserts and the food and she made herself a perfect meal. It was a beautiful, leaning green and today she stepped on the scale she's 201. And she's like almost right there in Wonderland and asking her to identify. Like okay, you're going to be in Wonderland.
Speaker 1:So what are your non-negotiables? And even at that point, sometimes you can't even say it, like you don't know it. I just wanna be healthy, I just wanna be done with dieting. Okay, I get that. I said that before. I just wanna get in the size 18 jeans. But, like now I can sit here in confidence, knowing what my non-negotiables are, because I was taught, I was forced, I had to surrender to find out what my non-negotiables are and I had to feel them and I just feel like, sometimes you get to a place where you're not diving deeper, you're not asking yourself those questions Like that's what we're here we want to talk about, like how do you get there, how do you find the groups, how do you hold yourself accountable, how do you seek clarity? And we're going to say this all the time, like we have been since season one you got to do the freaking work. Stop waiting, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 2:This doesn't happen. Like I did say that to someone, I think it was this morning, yesterday, I was like you know, it's not just going to happen, right, it's not just going to happen.
Speaker 1:Like you're just going to wake up and feel confident, like you have to do something to make it happen.
Speaker 2:And, granted, when you start doing something, it's not just going to be like one day bang, like over time it happens. And that's why I want so badly for you to fall in love with the process. Because if you don't fall in love with the process and you're just outcome driven and you're waiting for the outcome, like you're missing it, yeah, like You're missing it, yeah, like you're missing it happen. Like fall in love with the process it's beautiful. Like fall in love with shopping for the clothes. Fall in love with the measurements changing. Fall in love with all the beautiful habits that you're changing. Fall in love with the confidence building not just the confidence at the end, it's all of the things in between that you want to fall in love with.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what the beautiful stuff is, and that's why you know, just being in the moments are beautiful, the affirmations are beautiful, the journaling is beautiful, the actual process is beautiful.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like when you think about like you ever walk in somewhere and you smell something and that smell brings you back to like a memory, right, like you have that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like cake, I love cake.
Speaker 1:Oh, that a picture you know, like there's, you're feeling, like you have so many feelings coming back from your trip with your family right like those feelings are, are so a part of you now, like there's going to be something in your life, outside of what you experience there, that you're going to experience here in new york in floral park. That's going to take you back to that moment. May not feel so much, but it will take you back and I think like part of what we've always shared and what we did. When people are like, well, you know what are you doing, what's the magic? It's like we're giving you the tools, we're telling you what we did and we're telling you it wasn't easy, like it was not easy posting a picture like in old navy, but we were excited, like, yes, I got into a size 18 jeans. Sorry, it broke the sound waves, I got too close, yeah, but like you know, like though, but now I go back and I look at that and I'm like, I remember that feeling and I appreciate it, and then that becomes a part of another driving force of what I want to do next.
Speaker 1:Yesterday I posted a picture of um, like a before enduring picture of wearing I. It was the first picture I posted wearing just a sports bra with my I think I. I'm white now. I was white then with my stomach like hanging out. And Marilee was the one that I looked at that picture and I remembered that picture because Marilee shared it in our group text of a picture of her in her bathroom in her sports bra and I've sent it in the group text. And then she posted hers on social media and I was just like, can I do it Can?
Speaker 2:I do it.
Speaker 1:I think I was like 70 pounds down at that time and she did it and it inspired me to say, well, she can do it, I can do it. And she looked a lot better in her sports bra than I did With the high eyebrows. I posted it in everything. I had no eyelashes. It was terrible, but like I was so proud of myself in that moment, even though I was so scared to share that with people Because at that time I wasn't where I wanted to be, I didn't feel like I was done with my journey.
Speaker 1:I felt like I had such a long way to go. But my friends at that time, you guys, encouraged me to accept where I was in that moment, accept how far I came. I lost 70 something pounds in that picture and I was in that moment. Except how far I came. I lost 70-something pounds in that picture and I was finally wearing a sports bra. Now hearing him six years later posting another picture in the black sports bra and feeling even more confident by knowing that the journey is not over, knowing there's still work that needs to be done, but I think that those are the things we're talking about.
Speaker 2:Those are the moments of foundation that get you to the point of, okay, I can say fuck, yes. Okay, I can say these are the moments that I have my convictions, that there are things in my life where, if I don't know for certainty that this is a hell, no moment that I can go all in. And I think that it's so important for us to really get to a point where we have those convictions in our life, because, for those of us that even have daughters or sons, whatever, we have to create a generation of people that have convictions, that know that they could stand tall in what's important to them, and until we can show them that this is what we're doing, they're not going to be able to stand tall on those convictions either. That's the key word show, oh yeah, because we're too busy shooting the shit out of all of them, yes, and we're not showing them anything. Yeah, but we have to get the foundation first.
Speaker 1:And I think that was a moment for the both of us too. You like that word gross, and I really do think when we look at your personality, it was really gross the way that we were shooting our children.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, those times in our lives like it was eight years for me for parenting that I'm shooting my kid rather than showing him. And just you know, creating that impact means looking at yourself and asking yourself am I shooting versus, am I showing? And sometimes I just sit in a place of like a sadness because of the world that we are living in and people are living this like conditioned life of feeling complacent that I'm okay, like no, you're not okay, you're unhealthy, like what are you waiting for for me? I was waiting to be in the like, for me to have that epiphany.
Speaker 2:I don't know if it's so much of a. I don't know if it's so much of a, do people? I don't know if you know if you're waiting, or if it's just it's just not a season, or if it's just in a state of unawareness, or if it's just. I was in a state of unawareness of like, all right, you know, I don't know, I don't know where.
Speaker 2:I think it's different for everybody or sometimes it's just, I just feel like sometimes it's your path, like I do. I just feel like sometimes it's your path. You just I don't know. Sometimes I have to just throw it up to, to, to god, I really do.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I just feel like your path is respected or surrender for real.
Speaker 2:Let's honestly like that's how I feel about parenting most of the time now like I feel like I actually just did a post about it. Like I feel like I, I do everything I possibly can, I, I I give all I can, I. I feel like I sometimes I know that I'm with so much fault and and sometimes I just have to know that there's, there's faith inside them. I've given it to something bigger than me. Jesus, take the wheel. That's where I'm at. I feel like on a post. It's for real.
Speaker 1:I feel like Jesus we had in the car, yes, but I feel like sometimes it's like that with a health journey.
Speaker 2:Like you know, sometimes people are ready and listen, don't get me wrong. You and I both held coaching now for six years. Next week for me it's six years, two weeks, and I think seven years for you this August. Now Is it seven? I don't even know. That's a good thing, is it for real? I don't even know. I mean, I love everything about what we do For real.
Speaker 2:I got to do it forever, forever, and I I meet so many people men, women, whatever and I feel like, truly, truly, it has nothing to do with how I coach, how you coach. You know how other people coach. I truly believe that some people that come before us, it has nothing to do with the program, who we are. If it's your season, it is your season. If it is not your season, it is not your season. Yeah, and you know, do I think that?
Speaker 1:but you'd find that people use that as an excuse to oh, I don't like to say that like I feel like everybody can like yes, there's going to be sometimes. So we just talked about before like a necessity, like sometimes something in your life. For me it was a necessity, it was a need. But then there was also the um seasons of my life where I didn't want to do these things. I didn't want to be transparent, I didn't want to be vulnerable. Was I in the season of learning? No, but I wasn't in the season of even asking myself why am I not in the season of learning? Why am I not in the season of wanting more for my life?
Speaker 2:Because the people that are not in the season of wanting more for my life, because the people that are not in this season are not willing to surrender, because they do not have the foundation to surrender.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's the bottom line. Yeah, like I think back, like you know, at that time in my life I wasn't surrounding myself with people that were doing more and wanting more. No offense.
Speaker 1:We were in the same boat, right. But when I look back at somebody else, like two friends of mine who I just sat around the kitchen table and bitch and complain all the time and cry they, you know they would say something like stop crying, whatever. But they never said like do something about it. Like and hold me accountable, like now I know better, like I want to be around. We're in a movement, of a world where you can go on social media and there are people like doing better in their life.
Speaker 2:Why aren't we actively thinking to ourselves, why can't I, why don't I want that? But we were ready to surrender together. Why? Because we had the foundation. That's why. That's why it worked right. So it's foundation surrender. Fuck.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's the shirt with the arrows foundation, foundation surrender fuck yes, like that's what it is. So I mean, I guess that's the shirt with the arrows, the little arrows.
Speaker 2:Foundation surrender fuck, yes, Like that's what it is.
Speaker 1:Get it girl, I guess that's the challenge.
Speaker 2:Like if you're ready to get healthy, there's your foundation, foundation surrender fuck yes. So here's your challenge. You ready to get healthy? We're your girl, fuck yes. Like I think that that's really close. That's really what it's about. You know, you can't really say fuck yes, it's a hell no, until you're really ready to surrender. And you can't really surrender until you have the foundation. And the foundation has to be the people that are supporting you, the faith Maybe it's faith, maybe it's the people, maybe it's the family, whatever it is you gotta have. Like I keep envisioning like the tightrope walker and like the, the, the thing on the bottom, what? Like that net on the bottom. Like you need the little net on the bottom, like nobody's going across that tightrope without that net on the bottom.
Speaker 1:You know, like although I did get nicole on one without the net that's.
Speaker 2:That was nonsense, that, but they had a little thingy that was holding like you're saying, but like you need it and but surrendering feels so good, it feels freeing, it feels like that word free feels so good, you know, and it like it feels light and airy and it's an amazing feeling of like, just a big smile of like not heaviness, yeah, of I could do this, yeah. And the days that do come and feel heavy, like the days that you do feel like an imposter, that imposter syndrome, and the days that you are filled with, filled with self-doubt, and the days that you are sad because, as mamas, we can only be as happy as our saddest child, and you know, as days that we're not really sure that we're doing the right thing, because those days are still going to come. You know, knowing that we have that bucket filled of confidence because we've pushed past the self-limiting beliefs and all those things, you know it makes those days a little easier.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like we need that, you should want it, we should want it. Should want it. Yeah, I hear that, but I think that our call to action is to know that you're worthy. Yeah, know that you're worthy. Give yourself grace for the gifts that you have.
Speaker 1:It's possible, yeah.
Speaker 2:You got to give yourself grace for the gifts that you know that you have. It's possible. Yeah, you got to give yourself grace for the gifts that you know that you have. Um, and look out for our facebook group that's coming. The facebook group will be a place of positivity, um, a place for event action, action, a place for events.
Speaker 1:Yeah, don't join the group if you're not gonna take action because she already told you she's gonna. You're out like you're out like they're out like this out there's no rules.
Speaker 2:There's no rules in this group. Like the other groups that we run, the other groups, we have to hold rules. There's no rules in this one, so like you're out it's no joke. You're out, and if I'm not pissing you off, then I'm not doing my job. So how about that?
Speaker 1:you have to be pissed off and challenged, be challenged, no, but I I love that because I think that you know part of what we do we. We do meet people where they are, we do challenge them, but there's also that resistance where sometimes not that we have to pull back, but we kind of have to stay so that we give them that opportunity to come into their own, to come into their season and grow, but then on the other side of that, we have, you know, this podcast to really empower women, that we have that ability to be like you want to come in a group because we're not.
Speaker 1:We're not doing that.
Speaker 2:Like you got to come in with the season of wanting to change yeah, and also women that want to push us yes, like we want the fact. We want to continue to grow our foundation, yeah, like we push each other. But like we want to surround ourselves with women that want to continue to grow our foundations, to surrender, like I want a strong foundation, yeah, of women who are going to say nicole, what are you doing here? Like ask me questions, ask me the hard questions. I ask people hard questions all day long.
Speaker 1:Like ask me the hard questions I just got myself a girl to ask me hard questions outside of the circle.
Speaker 2:Like everybody needs a mentor everybody needs somebody to push them, everybody needs a coach nobody can replace her, though I'm just saying that nobody I ask you some pretty hard questions, but like everybody needs somebody that's gonna push them and I think that that's beautiful yeah so being part of this facebook group is a way of so like I have one person yeah, nobody wants to come nobody's gonna want to want to go, but.
Speaker 2:I think that our podcast is, you know, empowering women to live healthier lifestyles. I think that the Facebook group is Empowered Women.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:I think that that's really what it's about.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And women who are empowered but willing to become even more empowered.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:You know, because I do believe that there's a lot of empowered women out there.
Speaker 1:Applications will be accepted. Yeah, no, but no, but truly we do want to help.
Speaker 2:We want to help everyone, but we also want to be that source of resource and but I do believe that women are so empowered already, they just don't know it like I want you to know it well, yeah.
Speaker 1:But I want them to come and say like, yes, I'm ready for that, yes, I'm ready, yeah, they just need to know it. Say like yes, I'm ready for that Fuck yes, I'm ready to say yeah, they just need to know it.
