Simone Milasas is an author, speaker, and entrepreneur known for her work empowering people to create change and choose a more conscious, abundant life. Originally from Sydney, Australia, she describes herself as a “compulsive creator” and global citizen whose travels and personal journey shaped her unconventional approach to business and personal growth.

Through classes, books, podcasts, and global events, Simone invites people to move beyond limitation and engage more fully with life, encouraging curiosity, self-trust, and a willingness to explore what else is possible.

Christian sits down with Simone Milasas — entrepreneur, author, and founder of Joy of Business, a global movement empowering people to create success with more ease, awareness, and genuine enjoyment. From navigating significant debt to becoming a multi-millionaire with international investments, Simone’s journey challenges traditional ideas about success and invites entrepreneurs to lead from curiosity rather than force.

In this conversation, Simone shares practical insights on creating more joy in business, shifting your relationship with money, and learning to live in the question instead of chasing rigid answers.

Christian
What's up, people. This is Christian from the Successful Spiritualpreneur Podcast. And today I'm super excited to have Simone Milasas on the show. She is the founder of Joy in Business and boy, do we need Joy in Business. think a lot of people ourselves that are entrepreneurs are running our business with a lot of force rather than, you know, more the feminine side of receiving, letting things come to you, et cetera, et cetera. And that is what Simone really stands for and she's also a part of a movement it's called access consciousness if you've never heard of it look it up it's a global movement practice in over 176 countries and you know just a little bit about her story ⁓ one day you know Simone woke up and she was crying and drowning and 187 000 of debt and yeah she went from that debt to becoming a multi-millionaire with investments spanning a castle in Italy, an eco retreat center in Costa Rica, antique stores in Australia. know, Simone's journey really proves that transformation begins with changing yourself and especially your point of view. So yeah, welcome to the show Simone, super excited to have you on and excited to dive into how we can live more with more joy in business.

Simone Milasas
Yeah, thank you, Christian. Thank you for having me here. I'm excited to be here too.

Christian
Yes. Yeah, I'm really, I think, you know, one of the waves of the energetic waves that we're currently walking into with the the age of a quarry is finally being upon us. like a lot of people realize that this way of this masculine way of like pushing just doesn't work as well anymore, you know, because people are not as easily manipulated anymore. Right. They they're like, think.

collectively we're getting a little bit more heightened awareness of our feelings, what feels off, what feels good. And so your concept of joy in business is so poignant and hits the nail on the head, so to say. yeah, let's just say our audience is mainly entrepreneurs who have some sort of spiritual inclination. So I'd really love to know how we can live with more joy in business because when you're in it, you just

You just forget about it, you gotta get this done, you gotta get that done.

Simone Milasas
Yeah. Well, let me start with, think the reason why I actually put this book together and it's like translated I think into 18 different languages now and there's Joy of Business facilitators all over the world. And for me, like from like 15, 16, I wanted to do two things. I wanted to change the world and I wanted to have a business. And everyone used to say to me, what business do you want? And I was like, I don't know yet. just, I, for me, I got...

that you can change the world with business. Like you doing this podcast right now. This is a business and this is you being a part of changing the world and introducing something different. So for me also with business, it's not about getting a result, it's not about finding a solution, it's really about being in question. And it takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to choose that because you have to know when to pivot.

and that you are allowed to change your mind. You're allowed to change something that you chose. I see a lot of people who choose something, as you've mentioned a couple of times now, with like that force and aggression of like, this is what we're doing and you know, and they sort of set this, this is what's going to create. We've got to find the right answer. We've got to do this. We've got to do that. And for me, it's like, well, you've just locked something in and you've just basically said to the universe, no thanks. I don't want all those possibilities that you've been, you know, getting ready for me. Cause there's a whole universe out there who's so, like the universe is so desire is to contribute to us. And the second you go to answer, you basically stop the contribution. You be in question, you open up the door and doors and windows and everything to more contribution. So even starting with that question of

Like what else is possible? What can I receive today that I wasn't willing to receive yesterday? What can my business receive today that it wasn't willing to receive yesterday? Like if we take out the rigidity and insert, I'm gonna say magic, miracles and chaos. And I say chaos because most people avoid chaos, especially in business. Don't avoid it, embrace it. It's like chaos is change. And you mentioned one thing Christian about people are not

Christian
Hmm.

Simone Milasas
being manipulated as much anymore, I think you can manipulate with gratitude. think you can manipulate and manipulation doesn't have to be wrong. It's how it's done. Because if I'm super grateful for you and I start addressing how grateful I truly am for you and what you're creating in the world and I start talking to you about something, that's a manipulation for me to invite you into something that I'm choosing as well. So it is manipulating, but it's from gratitude. It's from a different energy.

Christian
Yeah, yeah, beautiful. You know, just even re-change your perspective on manipulation. There can be good manipulation, right? So, yeah, I like...

Simone Milasas
Yeah. Well, I mean, you manipulate all the time as a kid with your parents. It's like in relationship, it's like relationships are built on manipulation, really. It's like it's a twinkle in the eye. It's a tilt of the head. a, you know, it's a, it can be a play as well.

Christian
Hmm. Yeah, I love that. so, you know, how can we as entrepreneurs live more in the question? Right. Because I think it's easy or not easy, but it's a good step to ask the question. But it's how can we stay in that energy? feel like it's so easy to ask it and then just like, OK, let me step back and read the email and poof, gone. You know, like how can we stay more in that container of

Simone Milasas
Yeah, and it's a good question and I think it's constant. It's not like ask a couple of questions in the morning and then go about my day. So even when you wake up and as you mentioned an entrepreneur, how many times people create their day based on their phone, like they pick up their phone in the morning or they have many platforms that you're working on. First,

It's like the first thing I would always do when I do this, so I'm lying in bed before I even get out, I acknowledge my body, I put my hands on my body somewhere and be like, hey, I'm super grateful, whatever. I say hi to the earth. Where I live at home, I live across the road from the ocean, there's like waves crashing down, you wake up and you can hear that and it's awesome. I travel a lot, so there's different places.

And just having that moment, whether it's literally 10 seconds or it's five minutes to be grateful for everything that it is. And I know people throw that around a lot, like, ⁓ write your gratitude list, do this. It's actually true and real. If you actually wake up grateful, you will create something different, right? You'll open up a different door to something. And then when you go to go about your day and you've got all these different projects and all these different people that you're dealing with, et cetera, ask, where is my energy required?

Is my energy required? Am I required with this project today? Because I have a lot of businesses and lot of projects going on. And if I went, it's Monday, this has got to occur. That's functioning from a structure. What I would say is you want to eliminate all the structures and start putting in some systems where the system is asking a question and a system is something that is malleable and it's allowed to change.

So sometimes if you look at a project and ask, okay, am I required with this today? Yes, no. Okay, if you get a yes and say, all right, so what's required? How long? Like, do I need to call someone? And it's constant state of question. Relaxation is also a really big play in this. And I think a lot of us get so hyped up and we will not let ourselves and our bodies and our businesses relax. And if you look at the energy of relaxation,

It's an action. It's not a reaction. It's an action. When you start to relax and ask questions, you allow so much more to show up. And just practice, because if you've never been taught to ask a question, it's foreign, right? At school, you're taught to get the answer. Even with business, you're taught to, you know, look for the result, the solution, the da-da-da-da. What if you flip that? Flip the script. Change it.

What if you never found an answer and you always were in question? And it's a muscle. You've got to train yourself to actually be in question. So I would say, I mean, gosh, I've got, if you get the Joy Business Book, there's a billion questions in there, you know, not a billion, but there's a lot. It's like start writing some questions down that you can play with. You know, there's a business I worked with in New Zealand and he sold white goods, know, fridges, stoves, et cetera.

And he told all of his staff that every single time someone came in and didn't buy anything, two questions, ask what else is possible and how does it get any better than this? And he said, every time someone buys something, I want you to ask those same two questions. Because if you look at the energy, someone comes in and they go, great, I made a sale. But you sort of have this like final thing to it rather than, wow, I made a sale. This is great. How does it get any better than this? And what else is possible?

And then if you don't make a sale, instead of going to judgment and the wrongness, what else is possible? How does it get any better than this? You never know if that person's gonna walk back in or tell someone about it. So we end the possibilities by not being in question.

Christian
Hmm. I love that. Yeah. I think it's really, it's really important to train that muscle. It's, a little bit like meditation, you know, like just to return back to a point of like coming back to a little bit more to your center. And the question itself is just like coming back to a place of more open thinking, opening up the energy to, okay, what else is than me sitting here and answering emails and like a robot trying to check off things on its do list, you know?

Simone Milasas
Yeah.

Christian
So.

Simone Milasas
Well, and I think a key thing, because Christian, if you look at when you answer emails, those times that you're in the mood for it, you do it and you just go, and you do it really well. And there's other times that you're like, ⁓ like, you know, so is that where your energy is required right now? Or are you meant to go for a walk? You know, what if we didn't function, like we make time matter? What if time didn't matter? Like that nine to five, Monday to Friday? I mean, that's pretty much eliminated now anyway.

But what if you are one of those people gets incredibly inspired at 10 p.m. at night, then work. But maybe at 10 a.m. and Monday morning, you're not, then don't. Like choose your reality.

Christian
And in your book, Joy of Business, you also run people through a methodology. Can you speak to that?

Simone Milasas
You mean like the methodology of using access consciousness and the tools with access, like the processing?

Christian
In relation to business, yeah.

Simone Milasas
Okay. Well, there's a all the tools enjoy business are from access consciousness. And so I've been working with access consciousness for I think about 25 years now. And it changes all the time. And that's why I'm still here. I think if it was the same, I would be gone by now I'd be bored. get you know, I get bored very quickly if something doesn't change. Like if there's not that like, okay, what else? What else? So

Part of the processing in access consciousness is what we call the clearing statement. so if I asked you a question and I said to you, what does business mean to you?

And something may pop, it may be a word, it may be an answer, or it may be something energetic. Because a lot of the times we have an energetic point of view about something. And so if I ask you and all your listeners, what does business mean to you? And a lot of people have, know, it means working hard, it means this, it means that. And it's usually from something you've seen how your parents were or how you grew up, et cetera. So you create this point of view around that. I mean, for me,

My father, every time he went to work, he wore a suit and tie and he had a briefcase. And he went to work like six days a week, like really early, back late, right? That briefcase, as a kid, I thought, God, there must be something so important in that briefcase. Like I just looked at that and went, for me, businessmen, you have to have a briefcase. Like it's so stupid, but that's, you pick up these points of view, right? I found out later on what was in that briefcase was my dad's sandwich, a piece of fruit.

and the newspaper. But for me, like he never forgot his briefcase, but he never forgot his lunch, right? So if you go, what does business mean to you? And I ask you that question, it's like what shows up? It's like these points of view, these insane points of view and the access consciousness clearing statement comes in, which is everything that that is, like everything that that brings up, destroying, uncreated, right and wrong, good and bad, Pocopod, all 100 shorts, probads, creations, bases and beyonds.

That clearing statement is all about going to that point of creation of where you had that point of view, right? And there's a whole thing on the clearing statement. If you want, you can go to theclearingstatement.com and myself and Dr. Dane here, my colleague, we make some funny stories about it and we talk about it. There's a short thing you can watch or a longer one you can watch too. You can even, if you're listening to this and you forget it, just say Poc and Pod, okay? The point of creation, the point of destruction.

play with it, it changes the energy and everything is energy, even science says that, like we literally should be able to put our hand through a wall because it's moving molecules. Everything is energy and it's about changing the energy. So I asked, what does business mean to you? Now I ask another question. What do you, what do you, ⁓ what does you in business mean to you?

and it's got a different energy to it. And a lot of people who have already put themselves up for failure, they give it a shot, they try really hard, but they've already decided that they're gonna fail. And if you look at this reality, this reality like educates you on how to fail. It doesn't educate you on how to succeed. Most people when they fail, they've got a reference point to it. They've got their family, friends like, well, you gave it a try.

When you succeed, a lot of the times people will project at you that you shouldn't have created that much that quickly or whatever that is, right? So we're not educated about how to succeed and be with that. So if I ask that question of what does it mean for you to be in business and everything that that brings up, please destroy and uncreate it, times are good, selling it, and right and wrong, good and bad, pop and pod, all 100 shorts, boys, pro-vets, creations, faces and beyonds.

And what the clearing statement is designed to do is to change the energy so that you can start to have a look at what works for you. As an example, I did this with money because you mentioned right at the beginning, Christian, about how in debt I had created myself. And one of the first tools I did was I realized I didn't know what my point of view about money was.

Like I would walk past somewhere and I go, oh, that's expensive or that's cheap. And I would say it and I'm like, is that my point of view or somebody else's? So I gave myself this home play and I walked into neighborhoods in shops, I walked into a Rolex shop. I went and tried really expensive shoes on. I walked past expensive restaurants and I also went to cheaper neighborhoods that I usually wouldn't go to. And every point of view that came up, I was like, pop and pop that point of view. And as I did it, I went.

Okay, if I was choosing my financial reality, what would I choose? Because I realized I wasn't giving myself this space to choose my reality with money. I was too busy choosing everybody else's point of view.

Christian
Hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I think there's so much work to be done also in in form, so to say, like it's a lot of energetic work, right? But going out in form, doing something to reform or reshape a certain belief because you've done something, you've experienced something or, you know, like what I've done, you know, two years ago, was like, I was sitting in the Lamborghini that I thought I wanted and I looked at it on the inside, was like...

This is kind of feels kind of cheap, you know, like it didn't like the inside. I love the outside and the shape and the sportiness, but then the inside is like, no, I don't like, I don't feel royal in this car. It feels kind of, you know? So yeah, having these kinds of experiences, I think do so much for us as having them as an experience, you know?

Simone Milasas
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

So can I ask you what sort of car did you end up getting?

Christian
I ended up getting a Mercedes.

Simone Milasas
Okay, and do you enjoy it? Yeah. And that's the thing, it's about what you enjoy. know, Steven Bartlett from the diary of a CEO, I love his podcast too, and he spoke about something similar. He said, he always thought once he had the money to buy this Range Rover that he wanted, that everything would be fine, everything would be great. And he got the money to buy this Range Rover and he was like, ⁓ this is not.

Christian
Yes.

Yeah. Yeah?

Simone Milasas
what it is and it's like, it's not. It's like, you know what? Money doesn't make you a better person or doesn't make you, money can make your life easier, but you have to figure out what it is that you actually desire to create in life and what you wanna choose because that, like you enjoy your Mercedes. You enjoy it. It's about that.

Christian
Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. And knowing that that energy or car or whatever it is like that situation resonates with you, right? I feel, know, tuning into that is what's at the end of the day with every decision that we make. It's like, does it feel me? Does it feel light? Does it feel easy? You know?

Simone Milasas
Yeah.

Yeah. Is it congruent with what you'd like your life to be? ⁓

Christian
Yeah.

So, and in your classes that you teach, I think maybe you even right now you're at a seminar, said, in France. Are you teaching or taking a seminar?

Simone Milasas
I am teaching a seminar. It's called Choice for Possibilities, which is one of the more advanced classes. You have to have done a couple of the Access Consciousness classes before you get there. But yeah, that's what I'm doing starting this weekend in Annecy Park.

Christian
Okay, what do people learn there? Like say a little bit more.

Simone Milasas
Choiceful possibilities, okay. So you get a manual and the thing is Christian, it depends who comes to class, because we have three days together. By this time, you've done Bars, which is one of the first classes in access consciousness. And Bars is this hands-on process. It's like 32 different points on your head that get touched that exactly what I was saying before. It's like when you start to eliminate the points of view that you have around certain areas, like,

money, control, body, sexuality, healing, sadness, joy, aging, all of these different things. And so when you have someone run your bars, it's like getting a computer and just pressing delete, delete, delete, and you delete all of the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that you have about something. For me, so that you have this blank slate and you can actually be in question, as we spoke about before, does this actually work for me? What is my point of view around this?

The human race judges a lot. That's like, what if we came out of judgment? Like what if there was no judgment and there was choice? And for me, that's a lot of what access consciousness is about. So you have the bars class and then you have the next class which is called foundation. And foundation is literally like it says, you get a manual too, it's three and a half days and it covers every topic. Like, cause most people think they have a problem with something. You know, the top, I guess,

themes that people think they have a problem with is money, business, relationships, family, their body, like, you these things. And what if you didn't? What if there was never a problem? There was nothing to fix. You just had to choose something different. So, and we run a lot of the clearings and et cetera like that on all of that. And so by the time you get to choice for possibilities, you've done these classes. And I guess it's like going even more beyond that.

So it's like, what is it that you would like to choose? What is it you'd like to change? Let's get there. Let's explore that. But it is through the clearing statement and processes, et cetera. Like Access is weird and wacky and man, it works. My whole life has completely changed in every area and it keeps changing. Like it really does. I'm so grateful. I have a lot of gratitude for Gary Douglas, who's the founder of Access and Dr. Dan here, who is the co-creator. So yeah.

Christian
Hmm.

Yeah, beautiful. And what's a fun story? Maybe we can explore that castle story in Italy. Like, how did that come about?

Simone Milasas
Mm.

⁓ Well, it's funny because Gary Douglas, actually the founder of Access, he was in Europe one day and he was talking about and said he'd like to own a castle one day. Like he's like, I'd like to have, but this is how things work, right? He's like, I'd like to own a castle. And one of our clients in Italy, ⁓ she's like, hey, she knows everybody. Like she knows, I know her for a long time now and she knows everybody.

And she's like, know of this castle, it's about two hours outside of Milan and nobody's lived in it for 40 years. So we went there to check it out. And this is so typical, like we walked in, I was like, my God, it's a mess. Like there was just stuff everywhere. There was a most amazing, big, beautiful chandelier in this ballroom. And you could see like, because the walls had been painted and the pictures and it was incredible, but they were all faded and falling off and you know,

the floor was falling apart, the roof, everything. I'm not very good with seeing renovations. My ex will tell you that. I'm more like, I know what I like when I see it. And Gary walked in and went, wow. And he saw the whole thing as it is today. So there's about eight of us who decided to all chip in and purchase this castle and refurbish it.

and we paid some amazing Italian artists to restore the walls and the ceiling. Like it's incredible. The ballroom is huge and the acoustics in it are incredible. Like we've had some opera singers in there, et cetera. So now it's a castle, Castello di Casaboggani that you can go to. It's got 14 rooms available that you can rent, a big ballroom. It's got a fabulous restaurant there. Yeah.

that it's now a castle. No, it's open to the public. No. Yeah. Yeah. It's open to the public for the restaurant and also for accommodation. And every room is different, which I love that. Every single room is so different. I mean, they've got all these different names and the doors are different. there's a, we try to keep as much as possible how it was, which again, I'm the one that just went, it's a mess, you know?

Christian
Is it open to the public or is it just used for private? ⁓ wow. ⁓

Yeah.

Simone Milasas
And Gary and a lot of the others went, no, no, I see how this can be. And we created that. Like the bathroom is incredible. ⁓ Yeah.

Christian
Yeah, that's amazing. I love that. I think the castle itself is such a great example of what's possible, like of access, of like everything. just like how random, how weird, how wacky, how amazing, how cool, how magical it is, you know?

Simone Milasas
Yeah.

Well, also to me, it's like business is an ecosystem. Like we are a part of an ecosystem and I don't think we acknowledge that enough. Like every choice we make creates a different future. Every choice we make has like a ripple effect out there. And if you look at the town where the castle is, I said, told you no one had lived in it for 40 years. So the town itself had sort of, ⁓

became really quiet. Now some people might like that and some might not. And when we first moved there, there was a lot of people who were a bit like, who are these people, these foreigners coming in and buying this castle? So what we did was we had this press conference one day at the local pizza place and we brought pizza and beer for everyone and all the owners, we sat there and we had this this open house interview sort of thing of like, hey, this is what we told them, this is what we wanna do, this is what we're putting together.

and all the locals came and they asked us questions and it was so beautiful Christian to see the change in them. was this one woman who stood up, she was in her early 90s and she told this story. I mean, I don't speak, I speak a little bit of Italian, but not a lot and so it was translated and she told this story about as a little girl, her job and her local farm was when they milked the cows, she would have to carry milk up to the castle and she would carry the milk up to the castle.

And that was her job as little girl that she would have to do in her contribution. And so for her, this was coming alive again. And the way she spoke and the whole room was just silent as she spoke and about how it was bringing back all these memories and how grateful she was that the castle was going to be this thriving living entity again. And you're like, yeah, okay. And there's moments like that that you go, that's why I'm doing this, you know?

Christian
Wow. Yeah, again, it's like oftentimes when we experience these energetic shifts on the outside too, when we get reflected that back, you're like, wow, this is what we're doing. forgot about it. That's amazing. And what's been, you know, from your experience, because you've been with AXS for so long, like what would you say is the most significant evolution and expansion of AXS over the last 21 years?

Simone Milasas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Christian
What's been created now, I guess that hasn't even, wasn't conceived back then.

Simone Milasas
You know, I'm going to, I would, okay, so many things. And I want to talk about then the actual growth of the business because when I came along, we were in four countries and it was America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. So they're all English speaking countries, right? And I was a big part of the growth in Australia. And then Gary said to me, we need someone like you, you know, in America. And I said, well, what do you need?

And he was like this, this and this. And I was like, I can do that. I can do that from here. And so I actually started living in California part time and in Australia. But it was the opening up of the business to something different. So if you look at a business and you went, OK, how are we going to grow? How are we going to access the world? It's an English speaking business. The next thing you would do is probably hit other English speaking countries. And we didn't. used to like

lie in bed and ask questions of the whole entire world and go, okay, who do I have to talk to? Where do we have to go? Like, how do we open up this so that people around the whole entire world have access to access consciousness? Because one of my early demands was every single person in the world should know this exists. They don't have to choose it. I get that. Access is not for everyone. That's okay. But I want them to know that it's available so they could choose it. Because for me, Christian,

I was definitely heading down a road of destruction. I took a lot of drugs. I did a lot of things that I was trying to find something different, you know, when I came across Access. And when I came across Access, I went, ⁓ this is what I've been looking for, you know. So for me, gave me a lot of freedom. And it was, I'm not so sure I'd be here now. I definitely wouldn't have a smile on my face. I don't know. Like it's, like people to have that choice. So I kept asking, okay, who do I have to talk to? Where do I have to go? And the next.

two countries that we started accessing was Korea, South Korea and Italy. So if you put that in a business and go and write, what's our plan? You know, we're gonna do this. That wouldn't have shown up, but it just happened. It was people I was talking to and they were like, ⁓ okay, this. And then when we opened up in South Korea, there was a lot of expats and those expats knew people outside of that. And that's how we got to Italy and the growth of it. So I would really like to invite people who have a business

For one, to make your business, don't define it by its geographical region, like where you are, and also don't define it by language. Because we just started opening up to languages all the time. Nearly every class I do now is translated in, I'd say at least between five to 15 languages. And there is a growth out there for every business, if you're willing to be in question and just sit with it and go, okay, show me, show me universe where.

So I'd say the actual growth of Access was so astonishing to me about how we went about that.

Christian
Yeah, beautiful. love that. Yeah, again, same, just living in the magic, in the unexpected in a way. I want to talk a little bit about, you know, your creations. So, you know, your podcast, your books, your programs, like tell us a little bit about that. You have a podcast, it's called Choice Change in Action. Not sure. Yeah, feel free to maybe, you know.

Simone Milasas
and hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Christian
Tell us a word or two about that and then tell us what you do, like Simone, what else do you offer? What else do you, you know?

Simone Milasas
So I have a podcast, as you mentioned, choice, change and action. And that's, I've got an episode every week and it changes a lot, but I do have, I mainly talk about access tools and different scenarios every now and then I have somebody else on. But the whole idea is choose, change, take some action. Cause I hear a lot of people go, I wish I hit this, I wish I had that. You know what, you got to get up in the morning, go take some action. Like what do you want to create? Okay.

So it's a lot about that, but it's a weekly podcast. I also, I mean, I do classes all over the world. I travel probably eight, nine months of the year. And I am looking at that and going, okay, I mean, I enjoy it. And I also enjoy being at home and I enjoy, we've got a property called El Ogar in Costa Rica, which I love spending months on in there, because I have horses there. I have a membership that's called the Prophet Club.

Most people think profit is about the money you have left over after you pay the bills. What if it's not? What if it's something different? What if it's what if the profit is also that you get to wake up and be happy? Like what if there's a profitability in in how you choose to live? So we cover a whole lot of different topics, but that's like $28 a month. There's a telegram thread, you get some different things, etc. You get two calls with me. So I have that.

Yeah, and then I've got three books that I've written. First one was Joy Business. Second one was Getting Out of Debt Joyfully. The third one I wrote is called Relationship, Are You Sure You Want One? And I wrote that with my ex. And that was pretty funny because as we launched it in the US, we had all these interviews and everything. We broke up. And my PR agent only had a heart attack. But we were like, don't worry about it. is the whole book is about being in question.

relationship should be a choice, not a necessity. So that's why we wrote that book. You know, and there's a whole lot of really funny, vulnerable tools in there as well. So, and I'm working on a book about the earth at the moment and your communion with the earth. And like I said before, we are a part of this ecosystem and people keep walking upon it like we're observing it. We've got to get that we are, we aren't.

we're so intricately weaved into this ecosystem and what are we going to choose? So, and that's in business and that's in everything. And I'm working on another business book at the moment as well. So, lots going on.

Christian
Wow, love it.

Yeah, so creative as you as you are as you as everyone can be I don't want to say the word should but Yeah, it's everyone's choice at the end of day, you know, so and what else is exciting you at the moment? Like when you when I ask you that question what comes up? What's exciting?

Simone Milasas
Yeah, yeah.

I want to say being brutally honest with myself, because there's a few things that I'm changing. I've, you you mentioned right at the beginning, it's like I, you know, I was in debt, I was in huge amounts of debt, I got out of debt, I used the access tools, got out of debt, have money, made investments, did all of that. I did everything that I'd say this reality would go, did a good job, you know, I've got

I own my house, I've got real estate, I've got commercial investments, I've got stock portfolio, I've got all this stuff. And about two years ago, Christian, I sort of went, is this actually congruent and working for me with what I want my life to be? So I'm 56 and I started to look at what do I want my lifestyle to be as well as being a major player in how we can be in the world, you know?

So I think that's what's exciting me and I'm letting that unravel as it unravels. And I'm literally have sold a few investments to invest in some different things like El Ogar, the property and invest in more horses. I don't know if horses are investment because they cost you a lot of money, but it matches an energy for me, even looking at maybe buying a property in the Mediterranean, because I like being in the Mediterranean as well. for me, it's like, I think what's exciting is looking at

not assuming that how I lived was correct for me. It's like, what next? Like what else? Like, let's explore. you know, you always hear those stories about people on your deathbed. What did you want? What do you wish you did? You don't wish for more things. Do you wish you chose more? What could you be? So I'm really looking at what can I be for me in the planet? And what does that look like? Like, and have hell of a lot of fun doing it, you know? Yeah.

Christian
Yeah.

I love that. used to say when I was in my early twenties, which is funny because I never saw that quote anywhere. So it really felt like it was like something that came out of my experience. Like logic doesn't produce magic. You're doing all the right things and you have the house and you the car and you have the investment. But like now it's like, hmm, you know, so.

Simone Milasas
Yeah, no, it's true.

Yeah, yeah.

Christian
That's a great space to be in. Beautiful. Like feels very, feels very true. Feels very open. Feels very, yeah, feels wonderful.

Simone Milasas
Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, bring on the magic, miracles and chaos. Let's go. Yeah.

Christian
I love that. All right. Well, that brings us to the end of our podcast episode. And as last question, I just wanted to ask, what do you want to leave with the audience if they just take one thing away from this episode?

Simone Milasas

Like, there's an energy about you that's just really kind. And thank you, thank you for you choosing what you're choosing and thank you for being in the world.

Christian
Yeah, thank you as well. Thanks for seeing that. Two central things in my life is pretty much, it's very funny because I've made the things that I love my business. I have an agency, it's called Love Pixel. And we make love tangible in the digital space, like maybe branding, website, funnel, that kind of work. And then the second business I have is a tea company. It's called One with Tea.

Simone Milasas
Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

I love it.

Christian
So central words is love and tea in my life. Like tea brings me in that space of just like, ⁓ back to my center, you know? ⁓

Simone Milasas
Yeah.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I love it. That's great. Congratulations. And what else is possible?

Christian
And what else is possible? Yeah, what I love about tea, last thing, let you go, it's like, I can take it anywhere. It always brings me joy. You know, I have it at a seminar, I have it at a workshop. It's the best. So.

Simone Milasas
Yes.

You know

I get my tea from Brazil, which is crazy, but I love the tea in Brazil. Yeah.

I don't know, it's all in Portuguese, but, and, a lot of the Brazilians know now, and it's like, they've got like six different types. Like, so one's got, I don't like green tea straight up. So one's got like green tea mixed with a whole bunch of things. And then there's a nighttime tea. And then there's other ones that have like this fruit thing thing. But yeah, they always, I love it. My body likes it.

Christian
I love it. Well,

Simone Milasas
Yes. Thank you.

Yeah, thanks for having me, Christian. Bye.
