Stepping into the power of the present moment transforms everything. We've been conditioned to believe our worth comes from what we accomplish, constantly chasing future goals while missing the richness available right now. But what if true fulfillment isn't about doing more but about being more fully present?

Laura shares her recent personal evolution, describing it as "having a decade worth of personal growth condensed in a month." She's discovering the freedom that comes from not dragging past limiting beliefs into each new day. Rather than rushing through life on autopilot, she's learning to trust her intuition about which environments energize her and which deplete her—and making guilt-free pivots when necessary.

The conversation explores how seemingly small moments create profound impact. Laura recounts choosing to attend her young son's five-minute school event despite her busy schedule, recognizing that these "mustard seed moments" shape our relationships in ways productivity-focused thinking often misses. Similarly, Mondo reflects on how our character is truly revealed not when everything's going well, but in how we show up during challenges.

We discuss the beauty of understanding different roles in life's grand story. Some provide the steady foundation that allows others to take risks. Neither path is superior—they're complementary expressions of purpose in a larger design. The key is recognizing which character you're meant to play in this season and embracing it fully.

What story are you living? We invite you to pause and consider how you might touch more lives today through simple presence and connection. Your power to create meaningful change exists solely in the now moment—and that realization changes everything.

Mondo:

Well, welcome to the Heavenly Human Podcast, where we help you pause and pivot towards true fulfillment. My name is Mondo and I am here with the one and only Laura King.

Laura:

Good afternoon.

Mondo:

Hey, we are here.

Laura:

Oh, can we just celebrate? Someone just had a little big birthday. Happy birthday, Mondo.

Mondo:

Thank you, the big four zero. You know, I grew up with some cousins who were a year older than me, and so they always used to bully me when I was a kid, right, like I always got the last cover when we made tents or like a small chair or whatever. So then when they turned 40 before me, I got to mess with them like how old they were, and of course as soon as I turned 40, they hit me up like oh yeah, you're here with us now, you're in your 40s. And so I've been like having to onboard this like 40 year old weight as if it's super meaningful. But I feel good, I feel wise, I feel wise.

Mondo:

I feel wise, like there's a different wisdom at 40.

Laura:

Maybe we'll see how it unfolds, but there was no like I don't know. I feel like some people like when they turn 40 it's like a I've got to go change a bunch of things in my life, you know, like almost like, almost like a panic oh no, it was uh yesterday, yesterday, when my partner and daughter came in with the balloons and the gifts and, of course, the Trace Leche cake. Yes.

Mondo:

It was such a just, meaningful moment because I'm not even really a gift person, but there was just something about how that exchange happened that like made me feel like proud in our relationship, just like, oh, you two humans I think there's other people that value me, but like you two humans just really like, value this connection and it was just a good vibe, good spirit, good energy, and it was just the three of us that had our intimate celebration. But I really felt loved and it was just a memorable moment.

Laura:

And some of us want to throw big parties, and for you, it was just the three of you.

Mondo:

Just the three of us. So here we are 40. I feel like my brother said what's next? My younger brother he is, I think, 19 he said now what? And I was like had to use his language. So I was like, oh, you know, in like dragon ball z, where somebody gets out of the hyperbolic time chamber, it only makes sense to people that watch this anime. Uh, like I feel like I just got out of this hyperbolic time chamber. It only makes sense to people that watch this anime. Like I feel like I just got out of this chamber and now like I can go and like execute on something because, like I've been practicing by myself, I'm like building a better character and so I'm ready to like take on whatever the next challenge is. So that's one of my- Life begins at 40.

Mondo:

Life begins at 40. So, yeah, and in addition to my birthday, I mean, you came in here with a fresh haircut, so are we celebrating that too.

Laura:

I mean, I get a fresh haircut like every three months, so it's fine.

Mondo:

It's fine, it's good, all right.

Laura:

Thank you for noticing Many men don't do that. Thank you for noticing Many men don't do that.

Mondo:

So, just if I'm being fully transparent, laura said, hey, I'm getting my hair done, and so I was like, oh nice, you got your hair done, because I typically don't notice things like that, but some other men do and applaud to those men who notice that thing. Outside of that, anything else positive been going on, some aha moments like what's been happening in life since everything is accelerating.

Laura:

Okay, everything is accelerating like from a from a.

Laura:

I'm learning this new way of being and it's so different from the old way that it's almost like every morning oh my, am I gonna do the new way or the old way?

Laura:

Oh no, like the new way that it's almost like every morning, am I going to do the new way or the old way?

Laura:

Oh no, like the new way is way more fun, but it just seems so counter cultural that all of the doing, the wrapped up in the hurrying and the racing, and for me it's just like slowing everything down and really showing up for the things I do say yes to and knowing like God is just orchestrating stuff in the background that I don't even have to touch, that I just know because I have it so in my spirit, like this is going to happen if God wills it to happen, and I'm cool either way, but it's just holding this intention of. I am meant to be this lighthouse for people and I'm getting so much better at knowing myself and knowing the environments that I thrive and the environments that I do not thrive, and this is just continuously like the reflections. Every day I've been journaling more than ever, both on the computer and in my written journal, and I'm just. I feel like I have had a decade worth of personal growth condensed in a month, like that's how fast it feels in terms of my evolution.

Mondo:

I love that. I love that. One of the things that you said was you know the environments that you thrive in versus the ones that you don't. Can you say a little bit more about that?

Laura:

Yeah, I mean, it's hard to put into words, it's more of a frequency. I can just tell when I literally step into rooms, if this is a room I'm meant to be in or not. When I literally step into rooms, if this is a room I'm meant to be in or not, because I feel the energy in there and I don't know if that's just a just a new revelation that I'm having of really trusting my intuition, really trusting my body to tell me, Um, but like I'm cool with I. I'm like, oh, I was going to go to this event, Just kidding. I'm going to turn around and go do something else and feel absolutely no guilt.

Mondo:

And that's different for you.

Laura:

Oh yeah.

Mondo:

Before you'd be like, oh, I guess I got to be here for an hour and a half and grit through it and like, ah man, and then leave and a little out of balance. But now you're like, nope, I'm going to keep my balance, I'm going to prioritize my balance. That's awesome. You talked about this shift, this new you, this embodying being more than doing something that you say frequently. Has this shift like did you like pour everything out and then like, let me put some things back in? Or did this shift happen in like smaller, incremental steps? Like how would you say this shift has best work for you? Does that question make sense?

Laura:

So my new analogy is like every morning I don't need to drag any of the past into the now moment, like you could literally just burn it all down. Think about all of the these limiting beliefs that used to hold me back, like I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough, I'm not whatever enough. I literally like they don't carry over. And when they do pop into my awareness, I can see them. I can say, okay, I see you, this program of the. I'm not good enough. I'm going to feel that in my body and I'm going to say bring it to the light. That's not the truth of who I am and I'm just letting it pass through me. And so every day I'm getting better at recognizing when these old programs are trying to insert themselves. But the analogy that I'm really getting better at is like your power is in the now moment, like your power to create is in the now moment and you don't have to drag anything from your past into the now moment.

Mondo:

Man, as you're talking, the thing that comes to me is, honestly, bruce Lee. The thing that comes to me is, honestly, bruce Lee and it's more on. Like Bruce Lee was, like yo, I'm competing against myself. The self of an hour ago or the self of yesterday or whatever, like these external things in the world is no longer something that I feel like I need to compete against, because I've already conquered that. Like I'm no longer chasing, I'm no longer the rabbit trying to get the carrot. It's literally me versus me. And the old me got to die Right, or I got to sit set that old me down in case I need him or her later. But like you're talking about being in this now moment and saying like the only thing that matters is right now and everything can be manifested from.

Laura:

Like this moment, this moment, yeah, mm-hmm.

Mondo:

Are there any other, I guess, analogies or sayings that you feel, like you say over and over and over that like really help you stay in the now moment.

Laura:

I know who I am, I know who. Now, moment I know who I am, I know who I am, I know who I am, like, I anchor in that truth of like and again. It's like we are literally spirits in a body. We just happen to occupy this body. Our true nature is abundance and freedom and joy and possibility and limitless Like. How can you embody that while being in this human body?

Mondo:

What would you say is the last Laura challenge? Because I hear a lot of like Laura challenge, cause I hear a lot of like I'm getting better. I'm staying in the now. Was there a moment recently where you're like man, this was kind of challenging and it might've been like a a bit of a leap of faith to to get to the other side of this challenge. And the reason why I'm asking is because, uh, the words that you're saying are like awesome words, but I'm trying to bring in like a practical example yeah, because some people might be like this sounds good, but like it it doesn't align with this challenge.

Laura:

I'm hearing what you're saying. It sounds good, but like I, just I still don't believe you yeah okay, what would be an example of a challenge? Okay, say more words of like what are you envisioning?

Mondo:

There is a crossroad where you have to choose your intuition versus the expectation of somebody else, where you don't want to let somebody else down, or somebody may have expected the old version of Laura to show up a certain way, or, historically, somebody close to you may have been able to have access to two hours of your time because Laura's always there for me. But now you're like no, I'm prioritizing me, I'm practicing being in the present and I can no longer be this person for you for two hours, this person for you for two hours, but I can give you 20 minutes Just. I feel like the world sends us challenges when we try to like, pivot or elevate to a newer version of ourselves. So, for example, I was having a call with somebody earlier today and they were just talking about the best practices of business and they're like business is going really well, like these, these deals keep coming in, or potential deals keep coming in, even though this person is like I know I can lean into my faith a little bit more, but these deals are coming in, but my faith is saying be still, but these deals are coming in, and so they're like juggling.

Mondo:

Do I go pursue these deals or do I choose faith, and it's just that juxtaposition of I know in my spirit I should probably be a little bit more patient, but being an entrepreneur is bottom line, bottom line expectations and so having to choose the tough choice to maybe pause Right and say, instead of taking this good deal, if I pause, is the great deal going to be on the other side, right?

Mondo:

Or if I just hurry up and I'm that rabbit and I take that first deal and now I go like on that path, that great deal might not even cross my path anymore because, like, I've already like left the station and so I just feel like in our lives we say universe, god, jesus Christ, I want to be better, jesus Christ, I want to be better, I want to do better, I want to be in the present moment and God says thank you for putting in that effort. Now let me send you a little challenge to see if you are just saying that out loud or if you're actually going to embody the things that you say you want to become. And so, yeah, I think I'm just reaching for more anecdotes or examples where we cross that chasm.

Laura:

Well, we could, you know, really take a very, very, very, very. What might seem like an insignificant moment that turned into a very big moment. So in a lot of my reflections I'm realizing that, because I've had a tendency to always think I will be something amazing in the future, I will be worthy in the future, I will be famous in the future, like whatever. It's always in the future, and so that has prevented me from living and enjoying what's in front of me, because I'm so focused on the future. So this week, having four kids, do I go to everything? I can't literally go to everything, and so I usually tell the kids I'm like, hey, if you really want me at something, just make sure you tell me that this is really important to you, make sure you tell me that this is really important to you.

Laura:

And so my littlest, it was muffins for moms, muffins for moms at daycare, and it was like a really short window and I already had something booked and so I thought, oh, he's going to be fine, he doesn't care. Normally dad's the one that drops him off. So but Brian goes, laura, he really wants you to go. And that was the moment where I'm like that was it. I'm going to cry, like old Laura made up an excuse that you know my, my schedule is too important. It's easier to work, yeah, but I didn't choose that, so I rearranged stuff and I have a picture of me and Crosby enjoying five minutes. Five minutes together, that's all it was, but he was so excited to hand me his gift and have me open it. And this is what this is like, working through these character defaults, and I'm like, wow, how many times have I done that when I thought something was so insignificant, glossed over it and missed it, and now I'm seeing it.

Laura:

I'm seeing the moments.

Mondo:

One like.

Laura:

Is it very awesome that Mondo knows me well enough to have like a box of tissues right next to me now. Oh my gosh.

Mondo:

Oh man, about that story is when you go watch, like a TV show or a movie that has some at least PG-13 drama, that type of scenario you see play out a lot where, like, the daughter or the son has this big event Right, and the active parent has this big deal that they're supposed to close, and the conflict is these two things happening at the same time and which one are you going to pick? And clearly, in the beginning of the movie the parent or the person of significance picks the bigger deal, because then that's what makes the movie unfold. But it sounds like you're on the other side, right? You're at the end of the movie where you're like I've seen how this story plays out. When I don't pick these small moments that seem insignificant, I've learned that they are actually like huge transformative moments that pour into my kids in a way that I just didn't even know or didn't even recognize before. And now you're like I can't not be here and do these things and experience it, yeah.

Laura:

Yeah, and then, you know, it spilled over. We had a last minute change to the schedule and, um, we had tickets to the saints game and it was supposed to be grandma, grandpa, and then they decided they were going to go do something else with some another, uh, grandkid. And so Brian's like do you want to come? And I'm like absolutely.

Mondo:

Yeah.

Laura:

Like I didn't even miss the beat. Old Laura would have not come Dang and I had so much fun.

Mondo:

I had so much fun, it's so cool. One of the things that I know you've been saying lately is like tied to these micro moments or just making these small incremental changes and these things that you're saying. It's not like groundbreaking, Like I had to go get rid of my car and my boat and do all these things Right.

Laura:

It's like I didn't have to blow up my life.

Mondo:

Yeah, and this thing that like I'll just call it a mustard seed moment, right, like it's so small when you really look at like the grand scheme of all the things happening in the world to go to your son's school for five minutes, but like that mustard seed that you planted there is going to forever live in his heart, right. And I feel like, as parents, we have so many opportunities where that type of situation presents itself and making that small pause and pivot and going and doing that thing.

Laura:

Yeah.

Mondo:

Could literally change somebody's life. Oh my gosh.

Laura:

And it even happened today. So getting my haircuts, you know, usually it's it's a whole process and usually, as she's doing the foils, I'm working and doing something. I'm like you know what? I'm going to, just chat. I'm going to chat and we had just an amazing conversation and things I would have never learned about this woman and we ended up having a moment about just stuff with our kids and we hugged and it was just beautiful. I'm like I would have missed having an intimate moment with another human being, and so I think the reframe for me is how many lives can I touch today? And it can be super small, like waving to someone in the neighborhood I think about. I'm like I wave to everyone now, just wave. I'm like someone's walking their dog, I'll wave. It's just, it's so simple and we miss. We miss it.

Mondo:

Let me tell you how real that is. So when you picked me up the other day to go to C9, and as I was coming out, a person with their dog is walking by and you just started waving and talking to the dog and I'm like I would never do that I'm like talking and you're like what the heck?

Mondo:

what's going on here, but like it's just your natural, just energy, your style. You're just like. This is me, this is what fills my cup and it works for laura. The reason why I'm saying this is because if you're listening to this and you're like man, is Laura saying I have to be way more extroverted and talk to everybody, like, if that's you, yes, but if not, absolutely not, because there's always a Mondo that's like he's just chilling in the backseat waiting for Laura to be done, talking to the dog, and that's okay too, right? Oh man, it's so fun I think we can.

Laura:

We can appreciate each other's gifts more yeah like you're built so differently than I am. But I can look at you and say wow, like again, like we had that whole conversation of we're each a creation, we're each a masterpiece, like look at what god created in mondo and that's. That doesn't work for me, but I can still appreciate it.

Mondo:

Can we just make that the standard in the world, like, like, really, I just feel like as human beings, embodying that standard, or leveling up our standard, where we look across the room or across the street or in the next cubicle at work and you're just like yo, you are a masterpiece, and then go in the bathroom and look in the mirror and be like, oh, I'm a masterpiece too, and just that unconditional love type of lens is what I feel like we need in the world just in general.

Mondo:

When it comes to like fulfillment and being a heavenly human. We have to, I believe, just level up our standard on like how we show up for other humans just in every single moment. Like doing our best to show up with unconditional love, even if you don't say anything out loud, even if somebody walks by you and you have this thought in your mind that may be a judgy thought, like how do you just stop that thought and just in my mind, create this mental story where I'm just slaying this person that did nothing wrong to me, but like you're just walking around with all this judgment? It's what you've been saying for a long time, laura, which is like it starts with your thoughts.

Laura:

Yes.

Mondo:

Right. And so how do you stop those thoughts before?

Laura:

That's mine.

Mondo:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that, yeah, they're different. You got the fly swatter, i's mine. Yeah, yeah, um that, yeah, they're different. You got the fly swatter.

Laura:

I'm more like Gumby and I'm trying to like do the Play-Doh thing and make it work, but uh, but if, if you really think about it I mean, I'm I'm reflecting on some of my coaching conversations in the past couple of months too, and a lot of times we want to assign judgment to another, like they're in the wrong, I'm in the right, and so what I've been playing around with is okay. Let's maybe think of a story about how that person came to be that way, and so I make up these stories. I say, what if this person grew up in an environment where they were beaten as a child, or they didn't experience love in their home? Or what, if, what, if, what, if, what, if? Just to have someone think, oh, oh, maybe that's why they act that way, you know, to see it from another lens, and so whenever I see someone like with poor behavior that's my default is I'm like oh, what happened to you?

Mondo:

Yeah, yeah, somewhere along the way there was a unhealthy relationship with love or lack thereof. Right, like, like if someone is just bombarded and showered with love, their entire life they become an embodiment of love they become an embodiment of love.

Laura:

I actually have a question for you because I've been getting this a lot People. I love this that I give away my cell phone, so cause I love just doing the quick hits and texting back and forth and and um, sending voice memos. So this is someone. I'm not going to say who it is, but I think I want. I'd love to hear your response to this, because I've gotten different iterations of this type of text message a lot in the last few weeks. Hi, friend, I'm having real intrusive thoughts about quitting my job, even though I have literally nothing lined up and bought a house and have hardly enough to sustain to not have a job. I'm so over the stress, I'm so over the chaos, the early mornings, the late nights. It's not worth it. I'm at a breaking point and I want to walk away. But financially I need something until I get a new job. Anyway, I know you know this so well, so I feel like I should message you. That is coming at me left and right right now.

Laura:

So I'm going to A wise one A wise one A wise one A wise one A wise one A wise one.

Mondo:

So I'm going to answer this question from a like. I'm going to zoom out, and when I zoom out, the question that I ask is what do I want my Successful story to say? So you're at this intersection, you don't like your job, you want to quit. The story where you land, where you end up, is going to be the perfect spot. So if you, if your mindset is, in three years, I know I'm going to be in this spot, that I want to be in, my question then becomes spot that I want to be in. My question then becomes what story do you want to tell? Or what story do you want to embody to fill in the gap between now and three years. So if you have high risk tolerance and you're like, yeah, the people that I want to influence, I want to influence the human who is willing to risk it all for this dream, that's three years away, Like they just want to like, like grind it out and lean into their faith, like radical faith, Like they just say to themselves I want to be a representative of radical faith and put everything in God's hand.

Mondo:

And that story, how I endure, how I continue to show up for other people with grace and kindness and care, how I still show up for my kids even though things are stressful, to to say you want to walk the path to embody that character. That is a way. Another way is less dramatic but still equally as challenging, which is, well, I'm going to endure staying in this role but trying to reorient myself, or how I look at this job, or how the money that comes in from this job gives me enough freedom that I can start this side hustle. But I got to stay up from 10 to 2 am every day to get this other thing started. It's still a story where it's like I had to do something extremely challenging, extremely hard. I had to endure this stretch where, like I had to lean into my faith so much to get it done. I feel like both paths are equally as challenging. Which story do you want?

Laura:

Which story do you want?

Mondo:

Just pick one, like it's going to be dope at the end, no matter what, but you just got to pick the story and then go all in on the story that you pick. So I feel like you and I have been great representatives of that of just you're, you're the extreme.

Mondo:

Yeah, I'm the extreme extreme yeah, your radical faith looks different than mine does, but still it weighs the same. I always say this, this like I was built in a way that my risk tolerance I can carry a thousand pounds right. Your thousand pounds look different because you're carrying weight and four kids and a home and a husband. Like it's a different thousand pounds. I don't even know what it means to make a decision with four kids to worry about.

Mondo:

I have no idea the stress that comes with that of like man, do I quit my job? Do I go have this courageous conversation with my boss? Do I post stuff online on social media where other people are like oh is Laura, you know? Like those type of things that you had to qualify and say I'm going to be brave today, I'm going to do this thing, even though I'm risking it all for this family that I love and a lot of things around my shoulder. Like that's scary. On the flip side, I'm like I have a lot of support in my family and I have one kid and I know even if I hit rock bottom, there's enough humans that will catch her, and so like the faith is equivalent right the radical faith is equivalent.

Mondo:

Right, the radical faith is equivalent, but they're two completely different stories.

Laura:

I just feel so called to tell people your kids are watching you. They don't listen to what you say. They don't listen to what you say, they watch what you do. Period, End of sentence. Oh yeah, you can go be what you want. You can go do what you want. I want you to follow your dreams, but, yeah, me I can't because of insert the blank. What are we teaching them? And I just feel so called like what are you doing? What are you teaching them?

Mondo:

One of the things that I would say to piggyback the 100% accuracy of that statement, it's not only like what are you doing, it's also how are you showing up when you do it? So, like one of the privileges that I've had is middle class life Right, like it doesn't matter if it was growing up or in college or as an adult. There were certain privileges that I have always had and certain things that I had never had to worry about, ever had to worry about, just with a middle class, loving family, and because of that, my character was always able to show up as, like the kind dude Right Like I had enough repetition of, I flexed the muscle enough that wherever I showed up like Mondo's kind, he's a he's a good guy. So when I went through a season of like well, let me risk it all, I feel like God was like are you just a good guy Cause you had middle-class privileges, or can you still be that good guy at the bottom of the barrel, or can you still be that good guy at the bottom of the barrel? And it becomes that test to see like what character are you going to be in this story.

Mondo:

And so for me it was like very important, no matter what, to always be that good guy character. Without it, it didn't matter what I had. I could not cuss somebody out because, like all of a sudden, I, somebody, has more than me and I'm pissed off and whatever. Like I just could not and I don't want to say stoop to that level, but I couldn't go below a standard that I set for myself. And so when it just comes strictly to your character right, like when're like God is judging my character and Jesus is the standard when are you landing as your character? Are you coming home so frustrated that you're taking everything out on your kids because of some choices that you made? Or are you saying I made these choices, god.

Laura:

I know.

Laura:

And now I'm here, right? Yeah, I mean, you want a real life example. Oh, my goodness, I had to catch myself. I was starting to complain at all these boys who don't know how to pick up after themselves, and I was like I became my mother, like poor me having to clean up after all you dudes. And then I stopped myself. I'm like it is a privilege, it is an honor. I am going to miss this one day as I am cleaning up and, yes, I plenty of times get them involved but I had to stop myself and think what are you doing?

Laura:

Laura? You are so lucky you have such a rich life with all of these children and all of these activities. And yeah, what did you expect? Your house to be clean all the time. Like what? You're the go-to house. You're the house that kids feel comfortable coming over. You're the go-to house. You're the house that kids feel comfortable coming over. And, yeah, they eat a lot of food and yeah, they have crumbs all over the place. Apparently, my son really likes the seaweed stuff and the seaweed gets everywhere, the dried seaweed. I'm like dude.

Mondo:

Yeah, yeah.

Mondo:

But, I have to catch myself from complaining. One of the things that you just said about you being the go-to house is it made me think about my dad. So my dad is the go-to house, the sanctuary for anybody at any time, no matter what the situation is Right. And, as the person who is always willing to risk it all, my dad is instrumental in my journey. He's like, he is the rock that, no matter what, I can always pivot back to. So the reason why I'm bringing this up is because, you know, laura Breadwinner wants to help, support humans and influence everybody. She crossed paths with Mondo, our heavenly human.

Mondo:

I want to like, deliver and offer a different framework to the world. And, yes, and the human, the mother or father who goes to work every day and endures a job every day, but they are the security blanket, they are the rock of the family. Just know, you are so important to the story Like. I don't want to overlook this person at all because I used to always say, like, like dad or uncles or whatever, like you should go do more or be more or whatever. But I recognize that that's not the story that they chose, which gives me the freedom to go make the big, audacious, crazy, outside-the-box choices.

Laura:

And they love watching you. Exactly, they love watching you, yes, yes, and that brings them so much joy.

Mondo:

Man. So if that's you, if you are the person that's just like, I'm here to be the rock to allow everyone around you to perch on your branches like I applaud you, I want to give you your flowers because it's possible that the people who are still out there running around doing all the stuff they may not notice your value yet.

Laura:

Yeah.

Mondo:

And I just want to like really just shout you out and say thank you.

Laura:

Thank you for being the firm foundation.

Mondo:

Yes, yeah, and I just want to like, like, really just shout you out and say thank you, thank you for being the firm foundation. Yes, yes, everybody's role, everybody, is a masterpiece, as we've been saying, right, and appreciate them Love them, oh man.

Laura:

Don't want to change. I remember. I remember thinking like oh, that must be boring who? I remember thinking like oh, that must be boring who would want to do that? Right, I'm like yes, because we're all different.

Mondo:

We're all different.

Laura:

So I also think that part of my role is just to stay so close to all the humans. So another, just this is just another human. Did God use you today to tell me something I needed to hear, and this came out in the email when your worth is performance-based, your peace is always at risk.

Mondo:

That's bars.

Laura:

That's why I'm here not to motivate you to do more, but to invite you back to who you already are beneath the doing, and this person's like Laura. Do you know how much I needed this today? Thank you, thank you, thank you. I echo you are not what you do, you are light, you are love, you are whole, even when you're resting, especially then, and she's like I'm inviting more rest in this weekend. I'm like, yeah, girl, you invite more rest in how many of you need to rest. How many of you need to rest?

Mondo:

You walking us through that message just really makes me think of how I don't want to say how you see yourself, but how I see you.

Mondo:

When you say those things out loud, it's like you know, laura is an instrument for God's divine will first Like like.

Mondo:

You show up and you're like what am I supposed to do, or what am I supposed to say, to add value to these other humans? God, use me for a hug or a wink or a high five or something so I can add value to as many humans as I possibly can. And because you anchor on that, as you said when we started this podcast, god is going to solve a lot of the business problems that you're no longer worried about, because he's like oh, you want to choose to be the greatest cheerleader of all time for, like, like, a fruitful, fulfilling life. Yes, oh, okay, cool, that's the seat you want to own, that's the role you want to play. I'll make sure I send you Jason, because Jason really likes to build the system, right. He wants to build the business, to allow you to go be that person right, because you chose to want to be that person. God's going to send you other humans to sit in the other seats to make sure that you can continue to serve in the way that you're serving.

Laura:

Okay, I'm going to try not to cry again, but that is what's held me back is thinking that I have to do it all and realizing that there's other people who want to help when you have a mission and people can feel that people are people who want to help when you have a mission and people can feel that people are attracted to want to help. And I didn't get that. I didn't understand, it, didn't connect until very recently and it's I've been, I have been taught how to give and give and give and give, and the last four weeks have been all this receiving, receiving, and that's the uncomfortable feeling I have. Is like for someone who's so used to doing and giving, and doing and giving, to rest and to receive and to have these moments of stillness where I know it's all being orchestrated. Like I am in awe, mondo, of what's happening, like this story is unfolding right now and I'm like what's going to happen next? What's going to be the next chapter?

Mondo:

laura has really big dreams I swear I'm in my because we've done a podcast at your house before. I just see you like running down the stairs every morning, like it's christmas, like what's gonna happen today. That's just how I'm envisioning your morning, but it's awesome.

Laura:

You also think I wake up like that your morning. But it's awesome. You also think I wake up like that, not quite like popping out of bed, like let's go, no that's fair, that's it, but I'm gonna keep the mental motto like laura's ready after a coffee then.

Mondo:

Um, so there must be a. I know you talked about this in your journal of just like being in this receiving state and allowing other people to step in, but like that kind of has to be a little a different kind of challenge, right, like surrendering some of those agreements that you've made, rendering some of those agreements that you've made and so is there.

Mondo:

Is there a way for you to speak to that a little bit? Because allowing, when you have you, when you have had your hands on all the things, and saying I can do all the things, and then all of a sudden other people stepping into your life and saying take your hands off seven of the 10, that has to be like. This is all faith walk.

Laura:

There are people stepping into your life and saying take your hands off seven of the ten. That has to be like hard. This is all a faith walk. It's all a faith walk Like that is. The only answer to that is I just believe God is doing this to serve a much, much, much higher. Like. This is not me. This is me surrendering.

Mondo:

Yeah.

Laura:

And so I, like you know, I'm like telling my human, stop, human from trying to figure it out, stop it. Like I know you want to go in and figure it all out.

Mondo:

That's not supposed to be what you're doing right now.

Mondo:

You're doing right now Can? Can we like you know how, in classrooms, right In elementary classrooms like when you give somebody a star, like I feel like what you just said is like like let's star that because there are some humans, like a Laura, like a Mondo, whose role is not to figure it out, like who have completely surrendered to God's will and we are going to pause and pivot and show up for other humans and do the thing that's going to make the story better right now for ourselves or whoever is in the room. Like that is our role to be present and show up in the best way that we can right now. And when we consistently do that, there are other humans who step in and figure out the now and the later right, who build the plan, who do the other things, and so when you self-assess right, think, where are you in that, are you the right now person and you can live in the present and you can have this abundance, this uncompromising faith that, like, if you live in the moment, everything else is like, nah, I need to, I need to plan for like a week or a month, or like I need to build some systems, but I'm down to build those systems for that person in the front who is the true believer and when I say true believer I mean we're like that is where their true essence is to just believe and listen to God, no matter what Like know who you are in the story, know the character that you would love to be in the story and just be that.

Mondo:

I think it's golden time, golden hour, golden season, golden everything. Like there's so much opportunity, as you've always said. Like there's a shift happening in the world. There's a shift happening, as you've always said, like there's a shift happening in the world.

Laura:

There's a shift happening.

Mondo:

And we have an opportunity to align with God's will. You can choose to go, do it however you want to do it and think that you're in control. But I'm telling you, the humans, or at least the team led by a human who is being guided by God and surrendering to God's plan, they are going to have an epic, epic unfolding of their story.

Laura:

And happily ever after.

Mondo:

I love that close. This is a happily ever after episode, happily.

Laura:

ever after episode, happily ever after until next time, peace.
