The Livy Method Podcast - Guest Expert Live with Dr. Beverley, Dr. Olinca & Dr. Deena - Winter 2026, Day 86

Episode Date: March 31, 2026

The BOD Squad (Dr. Beverly, Dr. Olinca, and Dr. Deena) is back, and this is a conversation you will want to listen to on repeat. Today's conversation meets members right where they are in the final st...retch of The Program, unpacking the mix of excitement, doubt, and pressure that can come with both getting started and keeping momentum going. The panel reframes the journey as an ongoing process of self-inquiry rather than a pass-or-fail experience, encouraging listeners to get curious about their habits, reflect on what’s working, and recognize that progress is rarely linear. With a focus on building self-belief, practicing compassion, and taking stock of the tools they’ve developed, this discussion reminds members that this moment isn’t an ending but a chance to pause, acknowledge how far they’ve come, and step forward with intention.You can find the full video hosted at:www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2026Contact info:Dr. Beverley David:IG - @drdrbeverleywww.yourpsychologycentre.caDr. Deena Kara Shaffer:IG - @awakenedlearningwww.awakenedlearning.caBooks - Feel Good Learning, Raising Well LearnersDr. Olinca Trejo, ND:IG - dr.olincaemail - info@drolinca.comTo learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.

Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm Gina Livy and welcome to the Livy Method podcast. This is where you'll have access to all of the live streams for my 91 day weight loss program. With a combination of daily lives, guest expert interviews, and member stories, there is something new almost every day. Miss the morning live? Want to re-listen to one of our amazing guest experts? Well, this is the place. This podcast is hosted on ACAST, but it's available on all podcast platforms, including the one you're listening to right now, Spotify, Apple, and Amazon music. We're focusing on sustainable habits, not quick-fixed.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Is it an opportunity to get curious? We're here to help people get to their health goals. One piece of time. You build and build and build. Odd Squad is back. I just, I can't with that whole name. Dr. Henry David, Dr. Alinketrejo, and Dr. Dina Kara Schaefer, because we know how to have fun, right? Yes, we do.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Hello. Sometimes it's hard to get started because we're partying in the back. I mean, we love every, hi everyone. Sorry. That's obviously the reason we're here. Yeah. Well, speaking of hard to get started. That's what we want to talk about. Some people want to talk about how they've been successful. They're really fearing the break in between live sessions. How do they keep going? Some people feel like they've had a failure to launch. They haven't even really gotten started. Some people feel like, oh my goodness, there's so many things smacking them in the face along the way. How do we keep going? A lot of feels with where we're at in the program. As you know, it is the last week.
Starting point is 00:01:37 of our live session. We have another one starting in like two and a half weeks for people, but the fear is real, the thoughts are real. You all came on at the beginning of the program, the first week and talked about the secret to success with the Libby Method. You shared a lot of great advice. In fact, I would maybe suggest to our members that go back and listen to that very first segment. So what are your thoughts for where we're at now? A lot of big feels. Well, how normal? Isn't that what you've invited everyone here to do, is to feel the big feelings? I think that's what we're actually doing.
Starting point is 00:02:15 I was looking at, I was looking, because we get to do these panels and, you know, we like to prepare and think through. Because there's so much to say. So like, how do we really distill it? And I had written July 2025, we had done a panel like this. And I was looking back at some of my notes and I used the word project, that this was a project, like an invitation of. self-inquiry. You want folks to get to know themselves. What are their tender spots? What are their places that get agitated? What are the places that we feel satisfaction and wins? You want people, ooh, to engage in deep self-reflection. You really want folks to be like, okay, it's not
Starting point is 00:02:57 about judging the choices or being super critical. In fact, we want the opposite of that. We want to get really curious about why we do what we do. You ask people to engage and lots of help from Dr. Beverly on this self-compassion, what happens when we feel like we mess up or that failure to launch. And then to begin to build self-belief of like, okay, it's not a straight, linear line. It doesn't just go up, up, up clearly. But you do want folks to experience wins and moments of confidence and breakthroughs. So, you know, when you ask around, this end, this wrap-up, I think about my classes that I teach or the students I support. And it would be weird if in a class or in a project, there wasn't an end, that it was just like
Starting point is 00:03:44 more information, more readings, more resources, more texts to engage, like more lectures. That's not how it works, right? Instead, there's a capstone. There's a thing that brings it together. And no one's being assessed here, but there is a kind of like final moment that we're, this final gathering, this final week. And so that's what I would say, you know, we were here. How do you set yourself up for success? This is the time to look at like what's in your toolbox. What did help you along the way?
Starting point is 00:04:15 What didn't? What are you going to carry forward to the next, to the future? Oh, I love this so much because I've been saying this the last couple of days. Like there's pros and cons to this 91 day concept, right? There's a start. There's a middle. There's an end. And you can kind of like, you can see it rather than looking at the whole last year or the last 10 years of your life.
Starting point is 00:04:37 We had Dr. Beverly David on a couple of weeks ago where she was talking about how your weight journey never really ends in a sense. There's always something to learn. Right. And we're waiting to this finality when really it's just this continuation of learning and working on and working through all of our stuff. But there is a benefit to the 91 days to see it that way. I love that. Okay. It's going to be back.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Can we just do this every day? We're going to do this every day. Yes. And a pool party. And we're going to go to the place. And I think we should go to Europe together. And we're through the cruise. Yes, Gina, I'm in.
Starting point is 00:05:11 My bag is packed. I love it. We'll all live together with Tony. And the dogs. You can start a band. Children can visit. Yeah. I'm so, bread.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I got too low ready to go in the oven. All right. Who's up next? Who's up next? Dr. B, you're always so good with this one. Oh, I don't know. I was just, I just love getting to this spot and thinking, okay, I wonder what people have learned. I wonder where people are.
Starting point is 00:05:43 You said some people have had that feeling of failure to launch and some people are thinking that they haven't got to their goals and some people are anticipating the break and then there'll be others. There'll be people that feel something different or have noticed some. So I think it's so important for us to take time to pause in these moments and and tip our hat to this moment of, okay, what have I learned? Just like Gina said, go back to that first life and think, okay, how did I feel then? How did I think then?
Starting point is 00:06:20 How did I behave then? And what do I notice now? because I hope it's a lot more than just maybe the buckle on your belt or the weight's weighing scale. I hope that there's something happening inside of you that will allow you to believe in the neuroplasticity and will allow you to believe in the possibility of changing our behaviors and changing our self-critic and pausing. Because I always, I repeat it so often. And I want you to, I wrote it down. I hope people are noticing that they pause a little more.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Do you pause instead of react? Do you follow through instead of a void? Do you choose intentionally instead of impulsively? How are your choices? Do you forgive yourself quicker? Do you bounce back quicker? Are you able to avoid the, okay, I'll start again Monday and instead think about, what's my next moment?
Starting point is 00:07:20 What's my next move? You don't have to wait until Monday. So it's how are they moving through their day and they're weak and their month? And allow yourself to practice this on the break. Allow yourself to notice what is stuck, you know, what is really assimilated into me and which bits are a little bit hard. And again, those three ends that I decided I like, name it. Go, oh, my old patterns are coming back.
Starting point is 00:07:51 normalize it of course they have been those patterns have been very well trodden they go in to try and sneak back and it means something is starting to work and then navigate it think that doesn't mean i fail that doesn't mean oh well i'm going to quit and be careful notice those thoughts as we're approaching the end does that part of your brain go okay i'm done don't need to do it anymore and catch that and think, hmm, is that accurate? Is that going to serve me? Is that in alignment with my goals? So really sit with yourself.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Don't avoid this. We often avoid that maybe reflective, uncomfortable review. It's really important to review. How am I? How am I doing and how am I going to move forward? Because plans are important. You make it just sound so easy. So hot.
Starting point is 00:08:53 So hot. You also think it sounds so beautiful. I really want you to say tip your hat again. Oh, tip your hat. I was like, I'm sitting here writing down your names and I'm like, it's kind of like Dr.
Starting point is 00:09:09 B, you're the mind. Dr. Link, I know you're going to talk about the body and, and you're kind of the spirit, Dina. It's like the perfect combination.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I just came from the Canadian Obesity Conference Summit. And, you know, we know that when you make lifestyle changes, you're able to lose weight. These new medications are making it, you know, possible for people who never thought it was possible before for so many reasons. And yet, it's the behavior piece. It's all the behavior piece to make it stick to be able to maintain and sustain your weight. And yet no one talks about it because there's no money in it. Yeah. Like, and they perceive it as being so difficult that you cannot teach it on mass.
Starting point is 00:09:47 And, you know, it just occurred to me now. This is the opportunity for people. on mass to learn this. It's so good. So good. It's all good. Okay. Giving them wrong, Kina. Like 91 days at a time over and over again, you're just proving them wrong. You can do it. Yeah. Yeah, right? That's going to be my next question to you to really instill the fact that you can do it because there is a strong perception. I don't know if they
Starting point is 00:10:09 think people are just not smart enough to figure it out or I don't know what it is or just doctors maybe are jaded because they've seen so many people who haven't made change. I'm going to talk. I'm going to ask you guys that next, but let's still, let's go back to the first question, Dr. what do you think, what do you want to say to people with where they're at week 12 program right now? I mean, I honestly, I'm going to piggyback on what the girls have already said. And I'm going to say, the, I, new plasticity is such a beautiful concept, right? Because you can change and rewire your brain. And the thing is, is that your brain will always look for proof of what you believe. And so you have to choose your beliefs very carefully because it's,
Starting point is 00:10:49 If you at this point tell yourself and keep on repeating yourself this, this story of like, I failed, this doesn't work for me. You know, the scale didn't move. That's going to become your reality. And we know this for a fact. We know that 80% of our thoughts are negative and 95% of them are repetitive. And so if you keep on telling yourself that same story, at the end of this 90-day program, that's all you're going to see and that's going to be your reality, right?
Starting point is 00:11:19 But physiologically speaking, like this, like your BMI is not your resume. No. Like your weight is not your resume. And if you're only making these changes, these lifestyle changes to see a change on the scale, like we've lost the plot, you guys. Yeah. You know? And I think that this is actually the hard thing about how actually obesity and weight loss has been framed, right? In medicine too, it's like we just talk about weight and we just like hone in on.
Starting point is 00:11:49 I'm like, no, but it's the number. It's the number. And we don't talk about the journey and the changes and the behaviors and the sleep and, like, all of these things, right? And it's, it's the quiet consistency that we always talk about, the quiet consistency and all those little pieces that you're bringing to the table, Gina, with all of the experts that you have on your panel that actually rewards your brain way more dramatically than, like, quick, intense effort for a short period of time ever well.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? And so it's, I think, that, yes, like the behaviors and like the thought process and all of these things, but like, ultimately I really do think that as a physician, like also taking a step back and being like, okay, listen, this for sure what got me in the door maybe was the scale, but also there's so many other measurements of success and so many other measurements of health that hopefully through these 90 days you're learning about, right? So that it's those things that actually keep you
Starting point is 00:12:46 consistent through the 90 days over and over and over again. because this is a lifestyle thing. This isn't like a short, quick fix. And I think that that's the beautiful thing now about the membership that you offer. That's like, you guys, this is like a journey. This doesn't, and you just keep going and life is going to happen. And like, how do you respond to these setbacks? And how many times have you guys heard from, you know, people that join this program be like,
Starting point is 00:13:08 oh, God, this program, I learned this. So like, you guys have said the same thing for like 20 lives. And like this finally clicked for me. Right. Yes. And so it's, it's, it's rebut. wiring, that constant we're wiring of the brain that will really help us create that new reality that we're always talking about.
Starting point is 00:13:26 That needs you to. I'm glad you brought it. I wrote down membership. I mean, this is why, talk about something that just clicked to me. And I used to say, you shouldn't need a lifetime membership to lose weight. And that's not it. There's got to be progression. We don't want you to lose your weight, gain it back, lose your weight, came in back.
Starting point is 00:13:41 And that's the cycle that you're stuck in with us forever. We want there to be progression. You are capable of change. Like, that's why I'm getting excited because. I'm like, look at the resources available because you can change and we've seen it so often. Let's go into, like, you, you're all in the, you're in the business of helping people change. Why don't they change? Like, tell me the reasons when you see people come in, Dr. Alinka, who, you know, you give them all this advice and you know that they can heal and get better, yet they don't do it.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Same thing with you, Dr. Beverly. You can see that they're, they got all this stuff going on. and yet they keep coming to you and maybe they're just, they're just resistant or you, Dr. Dino, where you have all these resources and systems and methods to help people and yet they just don't make change. Why don't they make change? Let's talk about that first and then we'll talk about tips to help.
Starting point is 00:14:35 I know that's big, but let's put it right in our fucking faces. Why are we not, why are we not getting up every morning and going to the gym or working? Why are we not eating all our meals and sex? Why are we not, don't care? Why are we not pausing? Why are we not?
Starting point is 00:14:50 Why are we not? It is really hard. Like, it's really hard. First of all, we have to know that we might want to change. Sometimes if you're pre-contemplate, if you don't even know, change is possible. Like, you don't know it yet. So we're hopeful that your members are a little bit further along than that. They've heard about it.
Starting point is 00:15:18 They think that it might be possible. Some people absolutely believe it's possible. But it's really hard. We know things. We as human beings know things and we do it the wrong thing anyway. You know, we're battling screen times, aren't we, with our children? We know it is now damaging and how hard is it for us to change? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:38 You know, and we're wanting everybody else to change it for us. School should ban it. The platform should ban it. I as a parent, it's so hard to change it, but it's my responsibility to put in the changes for my son. And it's really hard. Like you could say our Obesogenic Society and our ultra-processed food, that if we believe, this would make it very difficult.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Yes, okay, yeah. Because you can see parallels wherever you want to see difficulty, you know. And then you can think, okay, why am I not changing? Is it because it's uncomfortable? Is it because it's effortful? it because I don't know how to change. And if we're expecting everybody else to change and we're blaming them, if we're like, oh, it's because my husband eats like this. So what's because the kids eat at this time? Oh, it's because I've got, we're waiting for something else to change when
Starting point is 00:16:32 ultimately it has to be us. We have to think change is going to happen. It has to start with me. And then it begins to change. If I've got raspberries and blueberries and bananas and in my my fridge and protein and the preparation is in there, I'm going to be more likely to succeed, but I've got to have planned it. I've got to have thought, I want to change. In order to change, I want to introduce this into my daytime routine. If I'm going to do that, how am I going to make space for this? How am I going to communicate this?
Starting point is 00:17:08 How am I going to tell my friends? How am I going to turn up? and how am I going to make those decisions, just like Dr. Linker said, over and over again, the repetition, it's not willpower, it's repetition of small aligned choices every day. When I talk to Olympians, they've been behaving like an Olympian,
Starting point is 00:17:30 often since they were about three. They've just had this something in them that thinks, how would that person act? How would an athlete act? How would somebody that is able to wear those rings act? And that's what we need to do. And to a linker's point, if we're constantly looking and thinking,
Starting point is 00:17:51 it is impossible, it is out of my reach, it is too hard, it will become true. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Where our attention goes, our energy flows, we've got to notice that. And then we've got to do that hard thing to look in the mirror and think it's up to me. nobody's going to do this.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Nobody's going to swim me in. I've got to do it and I've got to start small and I've got to keep going. And I just want to say to our members, no one is doing what you are doing here in the living method. Like I can attest to that. I've gone to the conferences. I've had the conversations. Ruth's gone all over the world.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Nobody is doing it. They're literally still trying to, how do we provide this for people on mass? Like there was a clinic and they provided like a natural pathic doctor, an MD, a psychologist, a kinesiologist. I'm like, oh my God, this is amazing. How many people do you serve a year? They're like 75. Like, oh, yeah. And then we'll be called in two years. And then we'll be able to put that out there. And then we can be. So change absolutely is possible. I just want to ground everybody in this moment.
Starting point is 00:18:59 And nobody is doing what you are all doing here in the program. Right. So thank you. Yes. Okay. Who wants to go next? I hear link i got you i got you i grow okay so i number one i love that you've asked this also it's so funny is on my computer i'm in the totally opposite direction so you just pointed to like whoever anybody else yeah uh okay so um one is there is no singular reason why um why this is And I think that's a really helpful first piece. Like if we look for, okay, there's just got to be one thing. If I could figure out this one thing. Yeah. But like we're complicated, messy people who have lost days before we get here. So I don't think it's singular. So here are some of the what sort of came up when you asked that question. Like why, why is it difficult? One is sometimes it's boring. Like just sometimes the day to day, you make it riveting. You got F bombs. You got good people. You got good people. You. You got good meals. You got all. But like the day to day.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah. Washin the blueberries. Yeah. It's just an un, it's unriveting, right? It's very, very exciting for the first week. And then it's just your life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:26 And so in a world, in a life where we are, like, our attention is here, there, and everywhere and where we gravitate to what is entertaining and exciting. I don't know, man. The day to day of 91 days is just you're living your life. Right. And so if we could not expect this to be exciting all the time, that's okay. You make it fun. You make it uplifting.
Starting point is 00:20:55 You bring a hundred different people on to share their perspective to help. But can we sit with what is boring of the day to day? Going on another walk. Yeah. I like live some weights. Yeah. drink my water okay the next one is our context we're trying to make change often in a household or we're in the same we're in the like our work uh workplace hasn't changed in the food is in the
Starting point is 00:21:22 way we're in a context that doesn't change but we're changing and so we just have to carry that awareness that we're we were like in a little mini collective whether it's your home your family the your workplace whatever it is you're little pods that you're in in community. Yeah. You're the one who's now going against the grain, going against the current. That makes it difficult. You're choosing differently.
Starting point is 00:21:46 You're stepping sideways. You're like, I'm going to do this thing now. The next one systems, you talked about food systems, right? So I teach students how to study. How do most students study? They're going to rewrite their notes that 100% doesn't work. Yeah, yeah. It's wild to me.
Starting point is 00:21:59 And they'll say, no, but it has. I'm like, because you're in green 11 and you haven't hit the hard stuff yet. Yeah. It eventually isn't going to work. And it's sometimes a very difficult. for students to be like, wait a minute. I have to do 20 practice questions and I might not know the answer. My phone's in another room and it's quiet and it's very difficult and I'm going to be confronted with what I don't know. I don't think I'd really rather highlight and make my notes
Starting point is 00:22:22 beautiful. I feel like you're doing something to feel like I'm doing something and and within systems that are very difficult. Ask anyone who identifies as neurodivergent. Like this system isn't made for me. Yeah. And so if you are a human who's like, I'm really trying to bring awareness. I'm trying to do the pause. But the system we're in is like, go, go, go, do a one week boot camp, do a three week detourtes. We're surrounded by so much systemic noise that is much different than you're like, I don't know, why don't we just go slower and we'll change your whole life. That's what we're going to do around these parts. The next is time we want it to go fast because we're hurting and we're frustrated. We're
Starting point is 00:23:07 Or natural, like, who wouldn't want it? I want to be free of this. I want to be free of the things that are hurting me. You're saying, we're going to need to put in some time. Less time, some people, more time. I think that can be a big ask, even though actually on whole, I bet your folks here in this community, it'll take less time. And if we looked at, we're going to lose a bunch,
Starting point is 00:23:29 we're going to gain a bunch, we're going to lose a bunch. I actually think probably people will have a shorter overall time than all of the suffering of in between micro intense programs. I don't think we account for the obstacles. I think we just, you know, when you talk about quiet consistency, Alink, I think this is such a beautiful phrase. And I might just add like the quiet consistency in the inconsistency of our days. How do we show up with that quiet consistency when we haven't slept the night before,
Starting point is 00:23:59 when perimenopause is sort of fucking us over and we don't understand. When a parent gets sick, when a kid gets sick, like the, it's inconsistent. around us and we're like, but I'm still going to plot along in that quiet and consistent way. I think lastly, it is effortful to make deliberate choices every day on the root to having it become an automated habit. Yeah. And people need to understand that there is peace, that the blueberries become the new norm, but it takes a while of practicing on purpose.
Starting point is 00:24:35 So I have a lot to say about that. I apologize. But she pointed to me, Alinka pointed to me. I did. And she, yeah, she's for both of us. I'm good. It is like this is what you're, you're practicing everything. So it becomes automated. This is where it's interesting because I think this is where people are like, oh, well, I'm just going to like, fuck it. The next program starts in three weeks. I'm like, that's three fucking weeks. Like, what are you? What? But it's that, that's one of the pros of the programs, the live sessions is you do get that fresh start but you got to get that going or someone last night was like oh it's always week nine when we change the focus of the meal that it just throws me off i'm like
Starting point is 00:25:17 is it the focus of the meal like it's the same meal you're just eating more vegetables and proteins or is it week nine of the program like is it like nine weeks in at this point always where you just want a fresh start we all just want like oh my gosh why we love mondays okay absolutely brilliant. Yeah, we could totally get into the free the things that are hurting me. Oh, okay, we don't have enough time for that today. Dr. Linka, because I do want to get into tips for bridging the gap after this. We're going to, we're going to, I'm going to ask the ladies this question. Okay, Dr. Linka. I'll keep it short. Why? I, um, yeah, I think inertia is a thing, like for a lot of us. And we just keep doing things that we know we shouldn't be doing.
Starting point is 00:26:05 that are not working for us just because it's easier than change, right? We're like the hamster in that wheel. And we know there's a world outside of that wheel, but we just keep going because this is what we feel is all we know. And it is so much easier to repeat the patterns that are not working for you than rewriting your story, right? It is so much easier. But the choice is yours is just that you have to understand
Starting point is 00:26:31 that you live in an environment also that is an abysiogenic environment. where people don't make money from you being healthy, consistent in doing all the boring things. People, you know, whether it's like a pharma and the food industry and like all of these things, they make money of you like hitting your dopamine and your hormones being out of black and all of these things, right? And you also live in a society that unfortunately glorifies immediacy. And if we don't see the results quick, we just don't want it because that's what, that's how we've rewired our brains, right? And so then the hardest part about that is that we don't get to control our body. We get to support it.
Starting point is 00:27:13 And we love control. And we love fast control. Yeah. And so the support actually comes from all of those repetitive things that are really boring that eventually lead you to change. But listen, it's a journey. And nobody wants, like, if I tell you like, this is a lifelong thing, you're going to be a lot less enticed to go in this journey with me. then be like in 30 days, I'm going to get you to lose 30 pounds with these, like, you know, this hormone or this or that because you're like, yeah, in 30 days, I have like a beach vacation
Starting point is 00:27:44 and I have that wedding and I have that. And so I do, I think that change is hard. It's very hard in 26 in the environment that we live in. It's possible. And it's possible through the rewiring our mindset, But the, you know, the staying grounded when everything is noisy around you, like Dr. Tina said. And it's really hard because your brain is just going to be drawn to the noise, right? And it's so much easier to not take responsibility and not take ownership for it and be like, you know what? I'll just like, this isn't working for me. It's not about me. It's actually because this like failed me.
Starting point is 00:28:29 we could all make a lot of money praying on people understanding how they bring up promising the world right like well I think about it all the fucking time you know what I mean like I'm just like God like the I could just be we could all be taking our private jet to wherever if we just prayed on people and promised them the world like the rest of the world does but this is why I love you and this is we can't do that it's not in us so this is why we show up and we're here um I want to talk about I think that's a good perspective without being negative because we got a deal in reality.
Starting point is 00:29:08 So you're going to be back in our next. The ladies are all going to be back in our next program. So I'm not going to talk about how to get that start because we can talk about that one in the next group. Let's talk about in between groups. If you were to offer like one tip, one just do this one thing in between programs. What would it be to keep the momentum going? if you feel like a failure, maybe to start, like, what's one piece of advice? I'm just trying to be polite.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Yeah. Go, Tina, go. Okay, so I saw this very funny little clip yesterday. I think it might have been on Instagram. And it was this person who was like, they put on their mascara, and then they realized, oh, no, I made a mistake. And then they were like, ah, and then they made a mistake. made it worse. And then they put on their deodorant, a little white going on their shirt, and they were like, okay. And the takeaway was like, just because you made a mistake, mistake, doesn't mean you have to make it worse. Right. Oh, gosh. If you have a meal that was off planet, whatever, you know, like, that doesn't eclipse the whole break in between. If you had intended to work out and you didn't, that doesn't mean, well, screw.
Starting point is 00:30:35 it. I'm not going to work out any of the day. Like, we can give ourselves grace and we can flub a little bit. And then we just don't have to like punish ourselves by throwing in the tell. Fine. I'm just going to like forget all of this. And I'm going to restart. And that's no, it's okay. We just had like, it just didn't go quite to plan.
Starting point is 00:30:58 And then what an opportunity for that. I just loved it so much. Because when you saw how ridiculous it was with makeup. up or deodorant, like, and there was a, with laundry carrying a big basket of laundry and like one sock fell in. Well, fuck, do this. We don't do that in any other domain in our lives. And yet there's just something around, like, well-being and this journey that we're on, that we like mess up one meal or one workout or one day or one week and we're like, well, that's it. It's all over. Yes. It doesn't have to be. We don't have to throw the entire heap of
Starting point is 00:31:34 on the floor. That's my. I hate the other day I walked out of the house because I must be put me in the makeup on in the dark and you know you flip down the car mirror and you're like fuck is going on with my face. Everything is everywhere. And then I was just like, then I was like, oh, fuck. I remember when I was younger and I had a couple clients and there was one woman she was
Starting point is 00:32:00 in design and she was so beautiful. But her makeup was so fucked up. I'm like, you know, look in the mirror, and now I realize I am now her. I'm just like, eh, yeah, yeah, well, okay, me. I think we all felt ourselves in that. We're all, we mess up, and we're just like, oh, because I, okay, that's going to take a whole other session to talk about why we do that. But I digress. Okay, that was great.
Starting point is 00:32:26 That was great. Okay. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. We're allowed to make mistakes, and we don't have to just throw it all away just because of a few mistakes. And we don't have to make it. We don't have to make it worse. Trying to make it better. Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Okay. I bet. Brilliant. Brilliant. Dr. Linka. Sure. You know Dr. Gabli is working on our acronym. 100%.
Starting point is 00:32:48 The next session, I'm going to start with an acronym. I'm going to be like, super crafty. What is the Mary Poppins one? Super. The kind of fragilistic. Yes. Of course. to be my acronym for the beginning of the next session.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I've got to spell it too, I bet. Spanish and everything. Listen, I just think you don't need a new plan. You need to trust the version of yourself who showed up and they won and wanted not to become someone else, but just to come back to yourself. Bro. And that person, you know, showed up with a really strong why, with a lot of motivation. And, you know, motivation is a feeling.
Starting point is 00:33:35 consistency is a skill that we're trying to like teach you right and so if we just anchor are like the things that you know that work for you right because we now know that we're like listen we're going to expect setbacks that's just part of the dance like this is what happens and we're trying to shift our mindset to not be perfectionist and not like if it's not a hundred percent we fail because we know that that doesn't work but it's more about the You know, I'm just going to take a step back and see what works for me in the simplest of ways because I'm going back to a really noisy world that's going to test me in whichever, like which way. And that might mean that you focus on the week one of the meal plan and your water and you're asleep. And then that's it because that's all you have bandwidth for right now.
Starting point is 00:34:29 And you're so afraid of what's going to happen that you're like, listen, I'm not going to focus on 30,000 things. all at once because nobody can. I mean, maybe some people can and like so happy for you. But like, you know, in the reality of your world, like nobody can. You're busy. You have kids. Like you're an Uber. Like you do all of these things for everybody else.
Starting point is 00:34:47 And so you just pick your anchors and you stick to them and you focus on them. And you just come back to that and come back to that consistency so that when you rejoin us in April, you didn't let that go. And that version that, you know, at yourself, that always shows up on day one. shows up for those 91 days and the 91 days after that and the breaks after that, right? Yeah. That's what's so brilliant about people actually being here. And if you're listening to this conversation today, even if you were away and you're just catching it in your back, your back.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Or if you're listening to it and you've been here the whole time, that's the magic in that being here at the end. Oh, I did that. You can do it again. You can do it again. And you can do it again. And each time you're building on it. And each time you're bringing a whole new person to the table, right? physically, mentally, you've changed. You've changed. You're supposed to change. Dr. B.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Yes. Yes. We know what to do, don't we? We know what to do. So let's use the word aware so that I can cheat. Okay. I can get more into it. So we would all write the word aware down. And then whatever, wherever you are in the day, if you look at this word and you can think, okay, which bit do I need to to bring my focus to. So A, awareness. Just notice. Notice how you feel. Notice what's happened.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Notice what is. Notice it. Because when we name it, we tame it. Notice. Wait. W. Wait. Take the pause.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Recalibrate. Think, okay, wait. I made a move and I'm not very happy with that or I miss that thing. I'm going to adjust, which is the next word. A, adjust. Those small corrections. Okay. I forgot to do.
Starting point is 00:36:29 do the shop. I'm going to do it this afternoon. I forgot to book the yoga. I'm going to make sure to go on. Small corrections are repeat. That's that consistency bit. You know what to do. Just like Alinka said, when we go on holiday, we don't pack every bit of clothing we have. We take the essentials. Pack in that bag, the essentials, your toothbrush, your moisturiser, whatever it is, think like that. this bit, the bits that you need with you because you are the same and nothing needs to change on the break. And E, empathy. Please notice if you've started to soften. Notice if you've become more compassionate. Notice if you've become your best friend. Notice if you lift yourself up. But don't forget it. Be empathic. Be forgiving because rigidity, that just predicts
Starting point is 00:37:27 relapse. Okay, if you are too hard on yourself and you are too strict on yourself, you will, you'll fail because you'll think you failed and you haven't. You're learning. We're navigating this world. And thankfully, we're not doing it alone. In this group, we all know we're doing it. We're all at different stages. We're all navigating this ocean. And that's really lovely to know that we're all doing it. We all hope for the same thing, but we're going to get there in different ways. So remember that, write it down.
Starting point is 00:38:03 And if something comes up, have a look at that word and think, which bit do I want my focus to go to with compassion and care and curiosity? Yeah. And we're all in it together. This is why we're all in it together. Right? That's why I say like we're all just trying to wake up
Starting point is 00:38:20 and show up every day and do our best. Do our best. I appreciate you, ladies, and all the time that you spend inside the live sessions with like full hearts and intention to actually help. I honestly could not love you more. Thank you. I don't want this to end.

Yeah, 100%. Okay, Dr. Dina, I know you got some going on. That's so beautiful. So today we start our learning strategy studio membership.

And so we're going to do really, really inexpensive, super impactful, like learning strategies, learning strategies. They're not taught in school. They're not taught in teacher education. And yet every student, when they learn how to study and prioritize and manage their time, everything changes. So we're offering too much
