Starting point is 00:00:00 The reason I'm recording this episode is because this year I lost my spark with the podcast. I lost my spark with the business. And losing your spark doesn't have to be necessarily a bad thing. I think sometimes we beat ourselves up when we're not feeling so great. If there's anything that I've learned from this year is sometimes slowing down is necessary in order to take on the next chapter of your life. There are going to be slower seasons in life. And it's God's plan for us to recalibrate, to re-center our energy and to really just take a step back before he lunges us into the next level.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Until he catapults us into the faster timelines of our life. Sometimes losing your spark doesn't necessarily come from a breakup, even though it can. Sometimes it's just when things slow down, we start to slow down. And when we slow down, we start to reflect more. And when we reflect more, we overthink. And when we overthink, we tend to spiral and create these narratives in our head. We're not doing enough that we're not trying hard enough and we don't feel us accomplished. And so that was my experience this past year because the year before, everything was moving really
Starting point is 00:01:11 fast. The podcast was exploding. There was so much growth. There was so much action happening. And I was super excited and like really, really motivated to wake up and go every day and record and live my best life doing what I love to do. There were a lot of people who were, you know, very supportive and saying, keep going, keep pushing. Like the podcast is so amazing.
Starting point is 00:01:31 You changed my life. But nothing was really making me feel better. I had to kind of surrender to the fact that things were moving slower. And when I decided to rebrand into lists, which is my name, for those of you who are new to the podcast community, welcome. Prior to this, the podcast was called Date Yourself instead. I realized that in order to really get the ball rolling again and to get my spark back, I needed to invest in myself and really make my life about me again and not necessarily worry about what everyone else had to say.
Starting point is 00:02:03 I think I got drained in the process of giving advice. I wasn't really focusing on myself at all. I was kind of just pumping out episodes and forgetting to take care of my mental health and my spiritual health in the way that I needed to. The best feeling is when you wake up and you have that fire and you have that momentum and you have that passion about life. And on today's episode, I'm going to be talking about how to get that fire back. How to ignite that fire within again? Because once you ignite that fire, it's a domino effect.
Starting point is 00:02:34 You start getting into momentum again. You start working again. You start becoming more passionate about life again. Here's the thing, though, losing your spark isn't a bad thing because it's possible to get it back and you will get it back. And on today's episode, I'm going to remind you of your spark and help you remember your momentum and who you were put on the surf to become. Your soul, when you lose your spark, it's often because you're upgrading. When you look at the slow periods of life and the stagnant periods as an upgrade and you're just recalibrating to the next level, it makes things a lot more positive. And I started to look at things that felt like setbacks at the time as recalibration periods.
Starting point is 00:03:12 So what I mean by that is instead of looking at a period of your life that feel, stuck as negative, you're going to look at it as God is putting you through this season of your life so you can skyrocket into the next level. This is just your recalibration period where you're adjusting to the higher timeline and you just need a little bit of time before you level up, before you get to that next level. It's really just preparation for what's to come because what's to come is going to be the greatest season of your life. Oftentimes before the greatest season of your life. There are periods of isolation, of slowed progress. And it's easy to question everything. It's easy to reflect and be like, what am I doing wrong? Am I on the wrong track? Am I on the wrong
Starting point is 00:03:53 path? But sometimes it's just recalibration before you unlock the next level. Sometimes our spark is just buried under everyone else's perception of us and expectations of us. When I was pumping out episodes and replying to everyone's DMs and pushing out my courses and doing everything I felt like I was supposed to do. I was doing it to help everyone else, which is a beautiful thing. And that's what I'm here for. I love to help people. I love to give advice. But at the same time, I wasn't taking a pause to take care of myself and ground my energy. I was literally just like throwing my energy out like this. And I wasn't ever centering myself. So it was like a year of just like, boom, boom, boom. And like, I was pumping out so much, but I wasn't feeding the system back in,
Starting point is 00:04:41 if that makes sense. I wasn't feeding myself any grounding energy back in. So there was a point where I kind of just burnt out. That was essentially me losing my spark. When I felt burned out, I was like, wait a second, I don't know if I like what I'm doing anymore. I don't know if I can go back into the studio again. I've made so many episodes solo. I don't know if I need guests. I don't know if I need more community. I didn't really know what was going on. I was just like, I don't really like doing the podcast anymore. I recently had to get very clear with myself because I was like, you know what? If I'm not truly happy, if I'm burned out, I need to slow down. And I need to really figure out what's going to drive me and make me happy again. What's going to reignite that spark
Starting point is 00:05:22 again? So if you're feeling burnt out right now, if you're feeling stuck, if you feel like you have no direction and you're like, I don't know who I am moving into the new year. I want you to do this exercise with me right now. I did this yesterday while I was in the sauna and it was really helpful and it helped me really reflect. It's called the newborn baby reset. I made this up yesterday and I found it really helpful. You have to pretend that you're a newborn baby on this earth again. You don't know anything. You don't know anything about yourself from your past. You've let go of all of your old memories, all of your old timelines. You're a brand newborn baby that knows nothing about anything. Okay. And I highly recommend doing this in an environment you're unfamiliar
Starting point is 00:06:00 Don't do this in your bed. Don't do this in your house even. I want you to go to a place that's unfamiliar to you that's new. That's fresh. That's exciting. That's different. And I want you to do this visualization method there. I did this in a sauna because the sauna lowers your cortisol levels and I was feeling a little stressed out. I was feeling a little anxious yesterday. So I was like, you know what? Going into the sauna and I'm going to do this visualization method where I pretend I know nothing. I am a blank slate. Okay. Blank slate theory. You come into this world. knowing nothing, your brain is clear of any doubts, worry, stress, drama. And you just center and you listen to the voice that tells you what you truly want
Starting point is 00:06:39 out of life. What truly is going to light you up and make you happy? What are you most excited about? What do you love the most? What do you truly love? Then I started writing down the things that I truly love if I didn't need any money and I didn't need any approval from anyone else. If I didn't know anyone on this earth, if there were zero expectations placed to
Starting point is 00:07:00 on me, who would I be? What would I do? What would I create? What would get me out of bed in the morning and get me excited about life again? Now I wrote down a list and I'm very passionate about different things, but it doesn't necessarily have to be something you would consider a job. So I was just writing down things I loved. Coffee in the morning, running, working out, taking care of my body, anything wellness related that's going to make me feel good. I love traveling and exploring new places and exploring new countries and learning about different cultures. Another thing I wrote was, I love being in love. I love being in love.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Now, when you combine all those things, and there were several others on the list as well, then you could start to get the creative juices flowing in the brain, where you're like, what can I do? What step can I take to do something that's in relation to at least one of these things? Or what steps can I take to, you know, experience something that's on this list, that will make me feel inspired again, that will make me feel happy again. Sometimes you just need to remind yourself of what you truly love at your core and then do something in relation to those things. I know when I get back to London, I'm going horseback riding because I loved it growing up as a child.
Starting point is 00:08:08 I used to ride in horse shows and competitions. And that was what excited me and lit me up. When you ignite your inner child again, it can inspire new creative ideas. It doesn't mean I'm going to be a professional horseback rider. It just means that I know what I love, right? So when you know what you love and you immerse yourself in something that you love, it will ignite your creative flow again and your creative process to know the next steps to take. When you're in a good mental state, when you're happy and when you're doing things that light you up,
Starting point is 00:08:36 it will inspire new chapters of your life. So newborn baby reset method, trust me, it will help you ignite your passions. It will help you think more clearly. And it will get you more organized in your mind about the direction and steps you need to take to make yourself feel good. When you feel good, good things happen. When you feel aligned and you're in alignment, you're raising your vibration because you're thinking of positive things and you start immersing yourself in the things that you love. Good things will start to happen for you. And you'll start to think of new ideas.
Starting point is 00:09:05 The next thing I want you to do is give up every expectation of what you've placed on yourself so far and what other people have placed on you. For example, I'm using the podcast as an example because it's easy to comprehend because you know the business. You're watching this right now. You know that this is my job. I feel honestly, and I'm just being honest with you guys, I feel like I have constant expectations thrown on me from people who are expecting me to create podcast episodes, which is normal, right? When you have a job, there are going to be expectations naturally placed on you. This is in any job that you do. No matter what, if you're serving other people, if you're serving a community, you're going to have expectations from that community placed on you because if you build a brand, you have responsibility.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Now, of course, I know I need to take that responsibility. and I'm very grateful for that responsibility. But there are moments in your life. If you feel burned out and you feel like you've lost your spark, you have to give yourself grace. And for a moment in time, give up every expectation placed on you just so you could temporarily get back to yourself.
Starting point is 00:10:05 There might be people who are like, hey, where's the next episode when I wasn't posting as consistently? People are like, hello, every Monday, get with the program, like, I'm here to listen to you. And I get it, okay? And I'm like, you know what? It's my job. And I need to show up to work.
Starting point is 00:10:19 However, you also need to take care of yourself the most before you show up for everyone else. My favorite person, and I always mention him, Dr. Joe Dispenza, maybe he'll be on the podcast one day, manifesting this. I'm coding that into the podcast, coding that into the ether. He always says, when you get on a plane, if they say, you know, put your oxygen masks on, the instructions are put your mask on before you help others, because if you don't have oxygen, you're going to be useless to everyone else because you need oxygen to survive. And that goes for anything else in life. I truly believe this. If you can't show up for yourself and you can't take care of yourself and you can't take
Starting point is 00:10:53 responsibility for yourself, you're not going to be able to help other people. It's just not possible. At least you're not going to be able to do it effectively or as efficiently. I want you to give up every expectation you have of your life, of yourself, of your goals, and just surrender for a second. Give yourself one day, 24 hours to just say, I give it to God. I give it to God and surprise me with an intuitive lead that gives me a new direct, in life or surprise me with someone I need to meet today that I would never expect to meet or surprise me. Just let the universe and God surprise you sometimes and let go of control. Let go
Starting point is 00:11:26 of the expectation to have an amazing day. Sometimes when you put pressure on having an amazing day or I need to get my spark back today, if you put that pressure on yourself, it's going to be harder to get there. This also comes with the pressure feeling like you have to show up in a certain way. There have been episodes I've recorded where I didn't want to do it because I wasn't in the best mental place and I was like, oh my God, I'm recording this episode and I don't feel well. And then those were some of my best performing episodes. People would message me and be like, this is the best episode you've ever recorded. And I'm like, what? Oh my God. Like, I was not feeling great that day. The point was, I just kind of released control when I posted those episodes.
Starting point is 00:12:03 And I was like, you know what? This doesn't need to always look as picture perfect as I wanted to look. This doesn't need to be perfect. Just release all the expectation around it. And then that sometimes creates some of your best work. So it's like just surrendering and kind of just being like, fuck it. Some of the most creative, amazing people that I know that have the best energy, don't give a fuck about anything. They have zero expectations for themselves and for other people around them. They just kind of show up and they're like, you know what? It is what it is. I am who I am. Let go and let God. And often those people are vibrating at such a high frequency because they don't give a fuck about anything. And so you'll see they manifest everything they've ever wanted really fast.
Starting point is 00:12:42 They are very lucky, but they're not lucky. It's just because they don't care. They're not placing expectations on themselves all the time. And they're not caving in to the pressure of other people's expectations. They're just living in flow and they're like, let go and let God. Those are the people that usually are lucky in your eyes
Starting point is 00:12:58 because you're like, how does a person not give a fuck and they get everything they've ever wanted? It's because they don't have the pressure. They don't have that energetic pressure caging them in. So release all expectation for yourself and from other people. The next thing I want you to do to get your spark back is detox your brain from, I should do this. I should do this.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I should be doing this. I should be working harder. I should be more this. I should be more that. You should be further in life. You should be having a child at this stage of your life. You should be married by now. You should be posting on social media more.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Why? Once again, it ties back to expectations. You're creating a cage for yourself energetically, which can dim your spark, which could make you feel like really stagnant and you're keeping yourself stuck because you're like caging yourself into the shoulds. That's not really healthy.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Like I just feel like that is what my year has been. And now I'm unprogramming all of that. And I'm unlearning all that. And I'm realizing that, yeah, maybe I should be posting three episodes a week. Maybe I should be trying harder with marketing the podcast. Maybe I should be married right now with two kids. But really, this is my timeline. Just own your timeline.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Own your journey. Own who you are. This is your life. are things that just have to happen naturally in divine timing, in divine order, in God's plan, not always yours. When you take the pressure off, you should be at a certain place in your life or you should be doing this. You clear your energy field. You clear your energy field and you take all the junk and all the mixed vibrations out of the timeline. And suddenly you're left with, I choose to feel present and at peace right now. And I'm really happy now. And I could decide to be
Starting point is 00:14:37 happy and satisfied now. And what's meant for me will never pass me by. And I know that I will be married and I will meet the love of my life and I will be really rich and successful. And I am. I am all of these things. But at the same time, I need to stop beating myself up if I'm not there in this current moment. Because that's what's keeping me stuck. You unlock the next level of your life and the next timeline of your life when you take the shoulds out of the equation. And instead just be like, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Once again, let go and let God. Like, I'm here right now. Tomorrow, everything can change. Tomorrow is a new world of possibilities. tomorrow, everything will be different. But stop putting so much pressure on the should because this is your life. This isn't anyone else's life.
Starting point is 00:15:18 This is your life, your timing. There was a story that I recently heard from a friend of mine of a woman who was speaking on a panel and she was talking about how she was in her 40s and still really stuck in her dating life and she was still meeting all these men that weren't right for her. She ended up literally just being like, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Like I should be married right now in my 40s, but I'm not. Fuck it. So I'm just going to focus all in on my business and just surrender and just forget dating and I'm done. And that's it. And I'm really at peace with it. And I'm actually really happy and I have a beautiful life.
Starting point is 00:15:50 So be it. And she just went all in with her career. Literally a few weeks later, she met her husband and her life catapulted like 100x. She collapsed the old timeline because she took all the pressure away. She took all the pressure away of meeting someone and finding someone. She collapsed a timeline. A few weeks later met her husband. And it was history.
Starting point is 00:16:09 and her life looks completely different now because she collapsed her old version of herself by literally surrendering, let go and let God, I don't care anymore. I'm trusting in my divine timing and my plan. It's not worth putting this unnecessary pressure on myself. And that's when you always meet your person. That's when you always get the rewards
Starting point is 00:16:26 from something you've been building for the last six years. That's when you always see results and you see your manifestation suddenly come in when you let go and let God in you're like, fuck it. I'm out, I'm out. But like it is one of those moods where you're so fed up, you're so done with trying that you're literally like, I'm just going all in with what I can control, which is putting into myself, investing in me.
Starting point is 00:16:48 That's all I can control. I can control my thoughts and my energy state. I can control how I take care of myself. So that's all I need to do. And the rest will either come. And if it doesn't come, I'm still going to be fine. The next thing I want to talk about in regards to getting your spark back is to move your body. I've said this on many of my recent episodes and I reiterate it and I'm reiterating it.
Starting point is 00:17:08 and I'm reiterating it in my masterclass. It's called manifest overnight, and it's a master class designed to help you unlock the next level of your life literally overnight. It's designed to rewire your subconscious overnight to attract miracles. Your life should be filled of constant miracles that start to feel normal to you.
Starting point is 00:17:26 When you walk out of this master class, you're going to realize that miracles should be everyday occurrences and that you can literally manifest anything you want like that by quantum jumping and collapsing the old timeline. This essentially is kind of like a preview of what the master class is really, all about. If you're interested in the masterclass, the link is in the show notes. You could go follow me on Instagram, Atlas, L-Y-S-S-N-A-L-S-B-O-SS. To get more information, it's going to be posted on my
Starting point is 00:17:48 stories and all of the information is also going to be in the show notes and on my Instagram. Anyways, I always say this. You've got to move. You've got to get up and move. You've got to exercise. Exercise is an underrated, not spoken about enough way to quantum leap into your new reality and to get your spark back. Building a new workout routine. Go for a run, go for a hot girl walk, do Pilates, do yoga. Immerse yourself in movement, create movement in the body. Move out that stagnant stuck energy. Working out has saved my life so many times when I was going through breakups, when I was
Starting point is 00:18:20 going through low periods in my life. When I've lost my spark, it just helps. It's not just a workout. It's literally an energy ritual to move stagnant energy out of the body and create new momentum in the body and create a new sense of clarity. When I go for runs, I'm more clear. I remember who the fuck I am. I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm a boss-ass bitch.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Why was I ever sad? It just gets the energy moving out of the body into the world and you're creating a new sense of momentum. The next thing that's obviously something that is very much talked about nowadays. I feel like the world is changing. Social media is changing and evolving and people are spending more times off of their phones. You've got to take a break from doom scrolling.
Starting point is 00:19:03 You can scroll. You could have your moments, you know, set aside a time every night. Scroll. do what you got to do. But your day, the majority of your day should be about you. It should be about you and re-centering your energy. And listening to self-help, obviously, if you listen to my podcast or other people's podcasts that help you that motivate you, great.
Starting point is 00:19:21 If it's a good influence on your productivity, great. Those are things that matter. If you are investing in content that's really lifting your vibration and making you better, those are good things to consume. But if you're just scrolling and endlessly on TikTok and Instagram and you're consuming, consuming, consuming, that is going to ultimately drain you from being creative and it's going to dim your spark long term. It compounds. You have a lot of time in the day and a lot of people are like, oh, I don't have time. I don't have time. But then they're spending four or five hours a day
Starting point is 00:19:49 on Instagram scrolling, watching people's stories, stalking their ex, you know, doing things that are draining the hours that they could be creating something new. Obviously, I scroll too. Like, it's important to get new ideas sometimes from scrolling. Sometimes I see a piece of content. I'm like, I like that. That inspired me. Or I like that. That's making me want to create and go up and do something. It's important, okay, if it's having a good effect on your brain. If it's having a really positive effect on your brain, fine. Just be monitoring what you're consuming because sometimes if you get in a rabbit hole, sometimes if you do scroll for five hours, you'll end up feeling more drain than anything and you're like, you know what, I wasn't really productive and I just wasted the whole day
Starting point is 00:20:27 when I could have been building my own business or investing in my own content or going for a hike or going to a dance class or doing something different and creative, you'll find that doing something off your phone and enjoying it like gardening, like running, like meditating, I don't know, anything you want, any activity, going to a social event. It will ultimately help you get your spark back because you're doing tangible things. You're becoming human again. You know, I feel like the digital world can disconnect us a lot and drain us. And I think it's important to remember who we are by doing tangible, physical things out in the real world connecting with people off of our phone. I'm not speaking about it publicly.
Starting point is 00:21:07 This is the only hint I'm giving here, but I'm creating a new business that will be more tangible out in the real world because I know that that's what I need to ground myself because I'm passionate about it and it makes me feel like I'm connected in the world again. I've always had online businesses. I've always had social media businesses. I've always been like a content creator since I'm 19. I'm 32 now. So it's been quite a while.
Starting point is 00:21:30 as I've gotten older and as I've been online for so long, I'm realizing that I need to be more in the tangible world. I need to create more in the physical world. And I'm super excited about what I'm working on now. It's a big project, but it's worth it because I know that it's grounding me and anchoring me more than ever. And that's really important in order to get your spark back in order to feel alive again. The next thing is something that I've talked about many times as well, but it's so important to affirm who you are. And when you say I am, it really does affect your subconscious and imprint your subconscious mind and create that identity and habit in your brain of like knowing who you are.
Starting point is 00:22:07 So if you say I am with your name, you are remembering who you are. I am list boss. Okay. My dad sat down with me at dinner one night and I was feeling not so great, like not in the best head space. And he was just like, your list. Like remember who the fuck you are. You're list.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Your list. Like you got to remember that. You're here to do big things. You are here to build a big life. You are here to be successful. You are here to be on top of the world. You are list. You are you and you're special and you're unique.
Starting point is 00:22:36 You're not like anyone else. You got to own yourself. When you own yourself and you bet on yourself and you take risks on yourself and you invest in yourself, it's just so fucking important and crucial to living your best life. You got to love yourself. You really have to love yourself. So when you say I am with your name, it really just tell your brain, this is who I am. And you could also say, I like myself, I like myself, I love myself.
Starting point is 00:22:57 and those are really helpful. But when you say I am in your first name, you're like, oh, yeah. Like I am this person. Like I am Liss. I am whatever your name is. Okay. And it really does activate your brain to remember who the fuck you are. I want you to practice that.
Starting point is 00:23:13 I am with your first name and your last name, first middle, last name, whatever you want to do. And just keep saying it to yourself. And then it'll start to make you think about who you really are. Like when I say I am Liss, it kind of activates something in my brain. where I'm like, yeah, and who is LIS? Like, who is LIS? Who am I?
Starting point is 00:23:32 And then it'll get you thinking, get the wheels turning, like, am I depressed? Is that how I want to be known? Is that how I want my legacy to be carried out? No, I'm going to be like, I'm Liz. I'm a boss-ass fucking bitch. I'm confident. I'm here to build things. I'm here to create.
Starting point is 00:23:45 I'm here to inspire. I'm here to own who I am. I'm here to be the best version of me. That is my legacy because I am choosing that, right? So who are you? Who are you? How do you want to remember your life? How do you want to carry yourself out on the world?
Starting point is 00:23:57 think about it. It's really helpful. The last thing I want to talk about is a big one. Okay, sometimes you got to stop healing and just start living in the real world. Like you can't always be meditating. You can't always be working on yourself as a project. You got to look at yourself as whole. Like, I'm fine. I am perfectly fine and whole and complete just the way I am. It's important to do healing work on yourself. Obviously, if you're going through a hard time, if you've you've bottled in a lot of trauma, if you're going through grief, that's okay. But there has to be a cut off period. You're not going to just be in healing mode for 10 years. You got to cut the cord and be like, listen, I've done as much as I could do and now I'm out in the real world. I got to
Starting point is 00:24:36 take control of my life. I'm in control of my life. I'm in control of my thoughts. I'm in control my energy and I choose to be whole right now and complete right now. I love myself. I truly love myself. And I kind of had this wake up call this year because I had a lot of time to reflect because as I said, like things felt a little slow. And I was like, at what point am I healed? We're always going to be a work in progress. We're human beings. No one is ever going to be perfect. I'm never going to be perfect.
Starting point is 00:25:00 You're never going to be perfect. No one is perfect. We can heal. We can do as much as we can. But we're always going to be learning and growing and evolving. We are human beings. We're designed to grow and evolve, right? Like, at least I know that I want to evolve and keep growing and learning through experiences.
Starting point is 00:25:16 So I know I'm going to still make mistakes. Fine. I know I'm still going to go through periods of my life that are slower. Fine. So at what point. Am I done healing? You got to make that shift at some point. You can go heal and it's a beautiful thing to heal and to do things that are healing for your soul and necessary.
Starting point is 00:25:37 But there has to be a moment where you shift and you're like, it's time to move. It's time to create. It's time to do something again. Because you could spend your whole life trying to work on yourself. And that becomes your identity, if that makes sense. It's like you become someone who's always working on themselves. And I almost fell into that trap where I was like, oh, I'm going to Bali. I'm going to heal.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I'm going to do like all this energy work and I'm going to purge out all my trauma. And yeah, I needed to do that at the time, but there was a significant cutoff point for me at the beginning of this year where I was almost healing too much to the point where like it was making me depressed. It sounds so ridiculous, but it was like I was trying so hard to work on myself that I forgot that I actually was whole. I forgot that I was fine. I was like identifying as someone who needed to heal, which can fuck with your brain and fuck with your energy and make you feel like you're broken. You were never broken. Sometimes you just need a little energy clearing and therapy. And then you can move along and go on your way again.
Starting point is 00:26:31 And you're okay. You're whole. You're fine. At some point, you really got to own who you are again and remind yourself of who you are and how powerful and incredible you are and step out into the real world again and be like, you know what? We live in a world where everyone is trying to work so much on themselves and be the best.
Starting point is 00:26:49 But like in reality, a lot of the people, a lot of the people in the spiritual community and the healing, world are the most fucked up that I've met. And I will never speak negatively of anyone. I've just seen people that you think are like these gurus and they're the most unhappy and they're like putting on a facade and a mask. It's a tricky one, right? Because you're like, oh, you just expect these people to almost be perfect because they're self-help teachers and they know everything about healing. But the people who are constantly preaching about healing are often the people who need the most
Starting point is 00:27:22 healing and that's why they're doing it. And this applies to so many things, right? It's kind of like the concept of when you're so good at giving advice, but you can't take your own. It's kind of like that, you know, and it's like that in a lot of industries. And I'm not bashing anyone. I'm not shaming anyone because we all have our own journeys and past. But I've noticed when I meet people who claim to be these gurus and they're giving people advice, they're not taking their own advice. And that's something I had to get real with about myself because I wanted to make sure when I show up for the podcast, I'm living my truth and I'm living authentically and I'm literally who I am. Like when you meet me in person, I want to feel like the same way you see me on the podcast is the same way you're
Starting point is 00:28:02 going to see me in real life. If you're meeting me in real life, you're like, oh, that's what I expected. She is who I thought she was. That's really important to me. I don't want to fake it ever on camera. And that's easy to do. In order to really feel that fire and feel passion for your life, you have to be authentic. And you have to also stop healing at some point. and start living. Sounds a little cutthroat, but it's true. It's like you really have to take responsibility for your life and just be like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:28:27 I took my six months to really release what I needed to release and, you know, travel and let go and just be in this surrender healing mode. But now it's time to get back to work. It's time to grind. It's time to be who I'm supposed to be. It's time to show up for myself again. And now I'm going to close this episode
Starting point is 00:28:44 with a beautiful mantra you can repeat to yourself. I'm not trying to get my spark back. I am the spark. I am the fire. I am the light. I'm just remembering who. who I am again. And with that being said, that concludes today's episode of LIS. Welcome to all the new people in the community. Thank you for being here. I appreciate you.
