In this soul-stirring conversation between Laura King and Mondo, two kindred spirits unpack what it truly means to find yourself beyond the masks we wear and the achievements we chase.

There’s a moment in everyone's life when we're called to stop defining ourselves by what we do and start embracing who we truly are.

Laura shares her powerful journey from achievement-driven executive recruiter to someone who discovered that true worth isn't found in revenue targets or professional accolades. Her vulnerable revelation about hitting rock bottom became the divine invitation to rediscover herself outside the numbers.

"I am not defined by what I do. I am defined by who I am and my beingness over my doingness," Laura reveals in a moment of raw authenticity that might just mirror your own questions about identity and purpose.

If you've ever felt the whisper that there must be more to life than checking boxes and meeting expectations, this intimate dialogue might just be the permission slip you need to begin your own journey home.

Mondo:

Welcome to the Heavenly Human Podcast. My name is Ara Mondo, but feel free to call me Mondo, your believer speaker. And I got to give you an update to the podcast. I mean, this is a bridge episode. So the first 12 episodes of this podcast, it was just me. I was just sharing these just in intimate stories, this just spirit of energy that was on my heart, I had to say it out loud. And it all came out in 12 concise episodes. And at the end of those 12 episodes, God was like, that's all I have for you. There are no more words I need you to spit out independently. And I was like, okay, God received. And shortly thereafter, I circled back with my dear friend, Laura King, and I said, hey, Laura, you know that episode that we did back in September 2024, that pilot episode that we just tested? It did really well. Do you think we are supposed to circle back and do more of that? And she said, Mondo, absolutely. And so this is that origin story episode. The first time Laura King and I got together at the time we called it the Just Love Podcast. Episode zero. This is that episode that brought us together. This is awesome. We're going to call this episode zero.

Laura:

Episode zero.

Mondo:

Of the Just Love Podcast. We don't even know where this is going, but we are showing up with love and we're just going to have organic, authentic conversation and maybe other people will like it.

Laura:

And we think are the thing that I had to agree to is that there's no attachment to the outcome. There's no like, oh, we're doing this to. you know, get X amount of downloads or make sure this happens or make sure this. No, it's just simply because we like talking and we think our, I don't know, my hypothesis is that other people will find this and find some comfort in what we have to say.

Mondo:

Yeah, I think we can both agree that along our journey, we were searching for stuff. Like, God, send me more words. Let me go on YouTube, on social, read all these books. And so if you are searching for this thing, you will find it. And hopefully we become trusted voices as other humans go and search for that thing.

Laura:

And it's unfolding, right? Like this is, this is, you know, what do you say about your life? It's like the greatest story.

Mondo:

Yep. Greatest story ever written.

Laura:

Yeah.

Mondo:

I want to co-star in the greatest story ever written. And you know, when you think about it, it's like, okay, God, That's all I asked for. And I mean, I look at this whole humanity, this whole human experience. It's such a great story with eight billion plus characters, which is so wild. And I think we're two humans that operate on the love frequency in the eight billion. And let's see what love can do for the world. You know, with that being said, one, I want to admire your earrings. Are these meaningful at all?

Laura:

These were a gift from my grandma.

Mondo:

Okay, we're bringing grandma to the space? We're bringing

Laura:

grandma to the space,

Mondo:

yeah. Okay, love it, love it. So Laura, to just start this off, there is somebody listening to this podcast and they're like, Laura King, who is that? And so if I just ask that question out loud, who is Laura? How do you organically answer that

Laura:

question? That's such a great question, Mondo, because that's the transformation that I have undergone is for so many years, I attached myself to an identity. I'm Laura King, the executive recruiter. I'm Laura King, the mom of four boys. I'm Laura King, the wife of Brian King, who owns Rock U Music School. I think I wrote in my journal a couple weeks ago that whatever I put after the words I am, insert, like whatever, I am love, I am joy, I am essence, I am the story that's unfolding. I don't really define myself by these worldly It's hard to explain. I'm still processing this transformation that I've undergone and putting words around, who am I?

Mondo:

So one of the things that you said that somebody else might be listening and be like, yeah, that's me too. So the old Laura, was it all about, I have to meet this certain metric? Like say more about that life that you transformed from. I

Laura:

will not, you know. take up three hours of your time. But the long and short of it is my entire life, I have, oh my gosh, it's just like a wave of emotion coming over me right now that I am not defined by what I do. I am defined by who I am and my beingness over my doingness. And it has crippled me to think about all those years that I had to get the 4.0. I wasn't worthy if I didn't get straight A's. I mean, I even think about so much of my life in these environments I've been in, it's been all about putting up the numbers. And so I'll be happy when I hit X amount of revenue or this amount of I think that's what 2023, that's the entire uncrumbling of my old identity, is because I was forced, forced. God was like, I am laying you down, Laura. You are no longer going to be defined by this number. And you need to go figure out who you are outside of that.

Mondo:

That is powerful. That is, you need to go figure out who you are. Are you open to share? What age you were when that happened? Are we sharing that out loud?

Laura:

Yeah. I mean, last year. Oh,

Mondo:

okay.

Laura:

Yeah. Last year is when, so, so 2022, I had just an amazing, like almost, you know, $900,000 revenue for, for the firm. And then, um, it was May of 2023 and my husband and I were, um, celebrating, um, we were in the Miami and, We're supposed to celebrate. It was an early like, um, anniversary trip. And I remember getting this email and it's the rankings and I only build 35 K compare that to the year before, like almost a million dollars. And I freaking just dropped to my knees seeing my name, like dead last. I'm not even sure if I was dead last, but Maybe I wasn't. But, like, in my mind, I'm like, are you kidding me? I mean, like, I knew that I was doing bad, but to see it visually, like, Laura King is no longer at the top. Laura King is at the bottom. But what does Jesus say?

Mondo:

Yo, that... There is something so... unique about walking that path from the back or from the bottom i feel like there is something grand there's this glory of i've led from the front and i left led from the middle and i've led from the back right and so i think jesus does call us to be last in some seasons of our life If we're willing, right? I think that can be super scary. And so one of the things that you said that really struck me was Jesus called you to find out who Laura is after being married, after having four kids, after having a high performing job. What were, what do you remember being one of the first things that you did? Because in life, it's like, well, I did define Laura given all these other things that I was supposed to do. So like, what was the first step? Like, like if Jesus walks in the room and says to somebody else who is in a similar position to you, I need you to go find out who you are. How do you even start that? Or how did you start that process?

Laura:

Gosh. I mean, it, a lot of tears. I will say that I was lucky enough to find a really awesome therapist who also was, it was for me important that we could talk about faith. And he had me read certain passages of the Bible. And we did this exercise where I got to recall all of my major memories, starting from the earliest. And some of them are credible memories, but some of them were pretty traumatic memories. And I just I still have the poster board. And so there was, then we put all of the all of the events on this poster board. And then the top, he writes, Jesus in this red paint and the paint just drips and drips and drips down the poster board. And he goes, see, his blood washes all of that away, all the trauma. And in that moment, I was just like a blubbering mess. I think for me, it was, I had so much repressed emotion that I just like stuffed down in there and And last year, 2023, was the year where I got to be back in touch with those emotions. I got to remember, oh my gosh, this need to achieve comes from my dad. And my dad's an amazing man, but he also grew up in a household where his dad wanted him to achieve. And then I just saw this, like, how, how many generations does this go back? And then through lots of journaling, through lots of, um, just even walking in nature, just thinking about all this. And I thought, gosh, maybe that's the point of me being here is to break some generational, I don't know what to call them, generational traumas.

Mondo:

Potentially. Yeah. Something. There is a cycle that has happened over and over and over. And you're like, I want to break this cycle. It could look, sound and feel differently. And I'm sure your family is grateful for it. Doing this transformation and being an amazing wife and parent to your four boys. I can imagine that's not an easy task. And so share this. how you may have had to show up for your family different or how your family may have shown up for you differently?

Laura:

Well, there was definitely part of the year where I wasn't actually in my body. I really think that I was like, I literally think I was swirling above. I was so not in the present moment and they brought like, I feel like over time they just kept bringing me back into these like like the childhood moments of joy where like, mom, come play with me, mom. And so I would find myself, I'm like, oh, is it really this simple? Do I just need to forget about my past, forget about my future and just be? So it's like my kids help me bring this sense of like presence, which I believe is the best present to and the awe, I know the awe and the wonder. Yes. And we'd be like looking up at the stars or just like doing the most basic, simple things. And I'd be like, this is it. This is it. Like I want more of this. Yes. So my new way of judging, um, success in my day is not by like accomplishments. It's about how much time have I been in the present moment? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Like, I feel like this is therapy for me too. I'm like, there's tears coming down my face because I'm still in the middle of this.

Mondo:

Yeah. Like

Laura:

I'm still learning this.

Mondo:

As we all are.

Laura:

Releasing my attachment to a worldly achievement. I actually think those things are just going to come naturally when you're so filled up, where you're like, give to you, give to you, because you just have so much of it. And I think that happens when you are in direct communion with God. You are always filled up.

Mondo:

Let's speak more to that, because this is a thing that I actually feel like you and I are here for, to maybe put some... put our stamp of approval on that, right? Because it's a way of life. It's a way of being where you literally believe that everything is either here or on its way. And I don't even know where to start on how we talk about this, but there is a certain practice on this is the expectation. These are the things you need to do to be successful or your best self. And I feel like we're saying that is a way and there is another way. So like, let's talk about this other way. Like Laura today, how are you applying this new way to your life? Is there a concrete example where you're like, this is how this is showing up for me now. Here's an example.

Laura:

Oh, Yes, it's every time that I lose myself in these moments where I am so in flow, whether it's like a conversation like this, whether it's with my husband, whether it's with my kids, when I like genuinely am not freaking out about the future, I'm not thinking about the past, I am living in the present moment. I'll come back and check my email like three hours later. You had three new people that signed up for your workshop. You've got another client here that wants to work with you. You got, I mean, like, what? Yeah. Old Laura would be frantic like, oh my gosh, when are people going to sign up? When's my next client on the way? I'd be like, okay, I got to email more people. I got to, you know, it's all about just sending more things out, sending more things out. And now I realize, it all just kind of comes to me.

Mondo:

My

Laura:

belief is that the right people find me. The people I'm supposed to serve, they find me.

Mondo:

That's it. What Laura just shared is what I am now just going to call omnipresent flow because you brought up the word flow. To just live in a consistent flow state is something that is so far... reaching that we can't even really imagine it when we're in this stuff. But if you think of like what what would heaven on earth feel like? And it is I am going to wake up. I am going to be guided by God to go serve myself or others in the healthiest way. And because I'm doing that, All these other things are going to be taken care of and be there when I get back and check my email like another client. I needed that.

Laura:

The other day I was like, you know what I deserve? I deserve to just be outside and read a book for a half an hour. What? You have like 100 emails to answer right now, Laura. And I was like, no. I really know that... It's Minnesota. We're not going to have weather like this forever. I'm excited about this book. I'm going to be outside. And it's like those moments where I just feel so in tune. Like, yes, this is what you need to do to fill yourself up. This is right.

Mondo:

And

Laura:

many women need to hear this. No guilt. No guilt. Tossing all the shoulds out. I should be doing this. I should be doing that. I should be, no, I should be listening to the whispers of what my soul needs.

Mondo:

It's there for you.

Laura:

It's so there for you. It's so there for you.

Mondo:

So what would you say is a, I don't even say a want or a desire. What do you feel like you deserve that is coming? What is Laura like? I deserve to experience this because I'm trying to change language. You're like, I'm present, right? I want to stay here. So I don't want to bring us like, I got all these goals somewhere else. So what thing do you deserve? Are you manifesting to just be there?

Laura:

So I can't get it out of my head. And I don't know if this is, you know, I think I'm going to attract the right people to help me, but I believe so much in experiences. And I still see this like big show and I see a big stage and like movement and music and like all the things where you just feel so alive. And I don't even know Exactly. I've just got these visions that come to me, like helping people find that aliveness. So I know it's on its way.

Mondo:

Yeah.

Laura:

It's on its way.

Mondo:

Yeah.

Laura:

Yeah.

Mondo:

So being that catalyst, creating that safe space that's filled with joy, that however frequent you have it, people show up. And they love that. They're like, are you going to Laura's thing? Or rather it's once a year or every quarter or whatever. I'm going. Yeah. That's awesome.

Laura:

I mean, I even think like, it's the same feeling I would get. Um, I used to teach like fitness classes and I would just like, it was just my energy, right? Like I would just give, give out this energy and people were like, we love coming to your class. And I'm like, I know it would make, it's, it's a, it would make me feel good about myself because I was using my gifts and I knew that I was touching someone else and maybe, you know, helping them go a little harder.

Mondo:

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Love it. Love it. So Laura King wants the community of humans, like the more humans, the better.

Laura:

I feel like it's, it's like impact in terms of the number of people. Got it. Yeah.

Mondo:

It's like I'm looking at this slide outside. I'm just like, imagine just like we were going down a slide all day. Like,

Laura:

hey, this is fun. I just have to tell you, too. I've had like one of those moments last week. We were up in Duluth staying at this water park. And I had to be the one to go down with my four-year-old because they wouldn't allow my 12-year-old to go down with him, even though, you know, my 12-year-old's just as big as me. It has to be an adult. So I literally, I think I went down this water slide 75 times.

Mondo:

And

Laura:

my little guy was just like so giddy the entire time. And I was like, I'm going to be just like him. And I just decided in that moment, I'm like, let's go. And luckily they had some good music playing. And so I was just like kind of skipping up, you know, because I had to hold the... um, the tube and we're just like dancing as we're going up the, the stairs. And I'm like, again, sort of like, this is it. This is it.

Mondo:

Yes.

Laura:

And of course, then of course, two hours later, open my email, all the things that I had been like, you know what, God, can you take care of all this? It was all taken care of. Man.

Mondo:

It is. I mean, look, if you're listening to this, We're not joking.

Laura:

This is an alternate way of living.

Mondo:

Man, it is. Here's what's interesting about it. It's because it does defy logic. And I was an extremely logical human. If you're going to tell me to come have a debate with you, I'm like, I'm going to out logic you all day, right? I'm that guy. And so if you are a logically minded person and you've created this logical box, this lattice that can't nobody break, you're not going to get the experience. You have to, you know, like the Kintsugi, like Japanese, where you like break the bowl and then you put it back together with gold, whatever. Like you have to Kintsugi this box of yours. Like you have to go break it. And then put it back together with the gold fringe. So it's a new box. It's like, you can still be logical, but now it has this gold brim and you're just like, oh, this is the extra piece that I didn't know or I couldn't have experienced if I wouldn't have broke these agreements. And so break these agreements. Break

Laura:

them.

Mondo:

Break them.

Laura:

And so many people want to think their way to success. I'm like, No. Experience. Experience is the best teacher. So guess what? You're going to have to go mess up. You're probably going to fail.

Mondo:

But guess what?

Laura:

That's how you

Mondo:

learn. That is it. It is as if falling on your face becomes the trophy. It's like everybody that goes through this, when they run into another person that has went through it, they're like, oh, that was your face fall?

Unknown:

Yeah.

Mondo:

And it's just like, it makes no sense. And we're not high right now. Nope. It's just life. It is this life high of just like everything makes sense in the simplest way because we've chosen to look at the world in a simpler way. Hey, we want to experience joy. We want to experience love. And the glory that God has delivered. And we are going to choose to walk that straight line or find that line or find that environment or those people we are choosing to seek that out. And if you choose to seek that out, it's going to be rough and tumble in the beginning. But then afterwards, you're going to be like, oh, man, I I'm so grateful. That other people are here. I know one thing you and I talked about early on when we were going through it at a similar pace and similar state, we were like, do other people believe this too somewhere? Like, are they out there? Where are they? Right, right, right. Yeah. And they have to be, right? And I feel like I crossed paths with some people and I'm like, you're on your way. You're on your way. You're on your way. And it's not even that I'm better. It's just like, oh, I might have started my journey a month prior or a year prior or whatever. And I did mine in an extremely reckless way. I told somebody the other day. I told somebody the other day that is walking their path. And they were like, well, Mondo, what about this? What about this? What about this? And I was like, your personality type is timid. It's safe. And that's good. Right. I'm not saying be like me. But if you continue to walk this safe, it may take a lot longer for you to get through this part of the story because you're taking baby steps. Me, I'm like, I'm reckless. Jump off, backflip into the fire water. Do you know how to swim? I learned. Right. And so that was just how I wanted to experience. the experience, but whatever works for you works.

Laura:

I think that is what we need so much in this world is decisions coming from love because I, I just see it and feel it so much that there's so much fear right now. So much fear. It's almost palpable. And like I, I don't have all the answers, but I do know that when you make decisions from love, there's going to be some amazing things that happen down the road that you have no idea. You have absolutely no idea how that can affect another. I mean, I was telling you earlier about just a gentleman who I used to work with and reaching out to him. And just because out of love, he's no longer at the company and I think he's a fine individual. And just that simple act of reaching out, like how I could tell that he was so moved by my phone call yesterday. So moved. And I'm like the ripple effect of just one loving action.

Mondo:

Which isn't even, it's not even hard. It's just a choice.

Laura:

Yeah.

Mondo:

Right? Like you don't have to go make anything. You just show up with love. Just be you in a loving way. And as simple as that is, it is so difficult. It is so... Difficult. It is, you ever watch Mission Impossible? Such a great movie, great series, but walking that straight line, that love line, that love strand on this planet, I think is Mission Impossible. Like, like there's not a more impossible mission.

Laura:

But I believe, so what's happening there, like if I could fast forward, I see this world where We're going to reinvent everything.

Mondo:

I believe it.

Laura:

Government, education. I mean, I even think I'm so entrenched in business. I'm like, there's going to be a new type of a business that's like, it's not run by fear and greed and competition. I can see it.

Mondo:

Love

Laura:

it. I can totally see it. And I believe that part of... like why I want to continue talking about this is, is to ignite this and others to believe like they matter and they could help make this possible.

Mondo:

Absolutely.

Laura:

There is a new earth birthing.

Mondo:

There is something so beautiful that yes, I don't think we can comprehend it yet. I, I think we have ideas, but because God is infinite in his creativity and, We're just going to walk around and be like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. I didn't even think of that one. Right. Like, um,

Laura:

but even like give people permission to like, you can take off the mask now.

Mondo:

Yeah.

Laura:

You can take off the mask.

Mondo:

Yeah.

Laura:

You can get in touch with who you really are.

Mondo:

Would there have been, did you hear the call to take off Lord King's mask prior to 35? Like, are you reflecting and like, what happened at 28 and 21 and 17? I just choose not to listen. I don't know. I'm just curious if anything sticks out and maybe not.

Laura:

Yeah. No, I've definitely, I mean, like, it's been whispering for a while. Oh, yeah. Okay. And the biggest wake-up calls have been, like, I don't know if I told you about the Target story. Nope. So I'm a senior at Madison and I'm like, oh, cool. All these big companies want to interview me. And I come up to Minneapolis and it's, I think, October of my senior year. I remember being at Target headquarters and feeling sick to my stomach, completely sick to my stomach. And I went through a whole day of interviews. And one of the gentlemen even made me cry. I don't even remember why. I was just such an impressionable young... I don't know what he said, but I was like, oh my gosh. Okay, this is embarrassing. I remember calling my mom and being like, I just cried in an interview. And there was a reception. I was like, at the end of the day. And she's like, Laura, you got to go to that reception. Like that's part of the interview. You got to go. And I'm like, I just don't think this is the right place for me. She's like, well, would you rather just have an offer? I'm like, yeah, got an offer. Did I listen to myself? Did I listen to my intuition? Did I listen to my body? Absolutely not. I listened to all the people around me. Oh, that's a great job. It's a great company. Oh, you get to move to Minneapolis. And, um, Six months into the job, I had a full-on panic attack at work. Wow. Full-on panic attack followed by a deep, dark depression where I could barely even get out of my bed in the morning. I had to take a medical leave of absence. Okay. I was a freaking shell of myself. Wow. And that was all because... I knew this job wasn't right. But again, Laura overachiever. I got to be the best. I got to be the best business analyst. There's like 40 other business analysts. I've got to have the best in-stock percentage. Like, oh my God. I freaking killed myself. And then God's like, we're going to have you lie down for a

Mondo:

while.

Laura:

We're going to have you lie down. And then a friend gifted me this book called Do What You Are. I think it's still on Amazon. Do what you are. And that began the exploration of who am I? Really? Because my entire life, I had really been like, I just follow the rules. I do what other people say. I just, you know, whatever successful people tell me to do, that's what I'll do. And so this is like, oh, I'm kind of interested in like, humans and psychology and more on like things in HR. And that just, you know, that was it. Like I ended up getting this very entry level job as a recruiting coordinator where it was super, it was great because I was still like in a bit of a depressive state. I just had to book other people's interviews for them.

Mondo:

That's it.

Laura:

Yeah. Very, like I think I took a $15,000 pay cut. but then I started eavesdropping on the recruiters calls. And I was like, I'm like, I think I could do that. And then my boss approached me. He's like, do you want to be a recruiter? I'm like, yeah, I think I do.

Mondo:

So did you ask this question and we'll take a standup break. Did you, when you went through that depressive state, because some people really do get that low, um, Were there things that you can remember doing? Were there humans? Were there other, like the book is awesome. And it sounds like somebody in your life brought that book to you. Climbing out of that at that time, were there any other gems that you were like, this was necessary for that season?

Laura:

Yeah. For me, guess what it was? It was calling my dad and saying, I think I want to go down a whole different path. And him accepting that. Cause I didn't want to let him down. Cause he wanted me at first to be like an accountant. And then he's like, what about finance? And like very logical, you know? And I'm like, I think I'm more into like people. And to have him fully accept that and say like, I just want you to be happy, Laura. That was me overcoming my fear of disappointing my dad.

Mondo:

That's, That's deep. We're going to pause there because there's so many layers to kids and their relationship with their parents. And as parents, we all try to do our best and we all do our best. And then we also create some type of imbalance. It's just part of the story. And so let's touch on that a little bit when we come back. A little tear or two. I feel like we might as well just go to the childhood season. Most things in our lives stem from... relationships that happened when we were we lads uh for me it was the trauma of my mother dying when i was 10 years old in a motorcycle accident out of the blue i'll tell more about that story uh for you what would you say childhood was like where would you pull where you're like this definitely shaped me and it might not be one incident it might be just the whole thing. So,

Laura:

yeah, I, I still think for me, it's so much dealing with, uh, my seventh and eighth grade bullying experience where, um, I have had to do so much work around loving myself and having confidence in myself because these girls, um, I was on the cheerleading squad. It was like, it was so cool to be cheerleader in seventh and eighth grade. Um, and, the ringleader decided, I don't know, that she wanted to turn all the girls against me. And so they wrote a top 25 reasons that we hate Laura list and pinned it to my locker and then made everyone not talk to me. And I feel like I blacked out so many of those memories, but I do have a core memory of hiding at recess so that no one could you know, bother me. And then I would eat lunch in the bathroom. And, um, so when, when you haven't talked about an experience with God, I'm like, I had a total experience with God not too long ago where it's like, he took me back into that scene of the bathroom. And I just felt like it's indescribable how, the colors and the, and like the, the warmth of God's love. And he just like wrapped himself all around me and was like, you are love. Go forth and love on others. Like I made you exactly like this so that you would have so much compassion for people. So much compassion. And it's like, I just know that so much of my story has been not doubting myself. Because I think ever since that experience, I don't trust that I'm good enough. I don't trust that I'm worthy enough. And it's like, no, that's all an illusion. I don't know why I feel compelled. I want to share some things from my journal to close this out.

Mondo:

For sure. Is

Laura:

that weird?

Mondo:

You got it.

Laura:

I'm just going to randomly... I think part of my intention with this is for people to feel like they're not alone. And there's a lot more people out there that are looking for something else. And for me, journaling has just been a really... important part of this journey because it helps me get out of my thinking and just like putting something on paper and then being able to just like almost like release it. And so here it is. You don't learn by reading and thinking. You learn by experiencing. And that requires action. Eventually you will stumble upon what feels right. Go with that. Trust the energy back with intention is guiding you. And Maybe you get to serve people in the process. That's a win. Stop caring about the haters. Stop caring about the doubters. Stop caring about the skeptics. They don't get a vote because they're not in their arena like we are. We are action takers. We learn by doing. We aren't afraid to mess up because, gosh, doesn't our world need more courageous people out there not being afraid to start small and mess up and then get back up again?

Unknown:

Whew.

Mondo:

Laura, the poet, y'all. Okay. Love it. Yo, that was such... Clearly, I don't have any sisters, nor do I just go read the journal of any woman. That doesn't make sense. But to hear you say that out loud, it's like, that is an amazing journal entry. That is intentional. That is affirming. Is everybody writing like that in their journals? Because that was good. That was dope.

Laura:

Yeah. I think part of lately that my journal has been also like a way for God to communicate with me. So it's almost like he's giving me guidance and I'm just writing it down.

Mondo:

Love it. Love it. Okay. So that got it. So the same way I use Patreon to say things out loud, you journal. That's dope.

Laura:

That could be part of like, that could be part of the thing is we just like, I randomly opened to a page and I'm like, okay, here's what I'm supposed to say today.

Mondo:

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you just opened to that page. Do you want to say one more thing?

Laura:

Um,

Mondo:

your choice. Wow.

Laura:

No, this is a good one. Okay. Okay. So this is me, I think I'm talking about trusting myself of like knowing who to spend time with and who not to spend time with. I'm like, oh, wow, I'm learning trust in the life force, trust in the nudges. What else should I know? Be strong when others are full of fear. Be the example. Shine. Be so full you can give it away and away and away and know you'll be filled back up. you still have more to give because now you're swimming downstream. Because I was talking in the earlier part of that entry of like swimming upstream. Like, why is it so hard?

Mondo:

Yeah. Yeah.

Laura:

Because you're going against the current. So just turn around. It's so easy when you're going downstream.

Mondo:

Oh man. Love it. Well, that was, we're definitely going to have that a part of the cycle. So make sure you bring that next time too. Um, That was great. Whoever's listening, love you. This was dope. I'll see you again soon. Thank you.
