Starting point is 00:00:00 The following podcast is a Dear Media production. She's a lifestyle blogger extraordinaire. Fantastic. And he's a serial entrepreneur. A very smart cookie. And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride. Get ready for some major realness. Welcome to The Skinny Confidential, him and her.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Aha! My number one value and principle is in my life is that you're 100% responsible for your life. 100%. You create your life. And I think that's the biggest thing that motivated me when I first started getting into this space. Because I had that epiphany, that realization, wait, I can control the outcome to an extent. You know, obviously we want to leave room for the universe to do its thing, but I can control whether or not I'm successful, whether or not I'm happy in a great relationship in the body that I love being in. That's in my
Starting point is 00:00:56 control. Hello, hello, hello. Welcome back to the Skinny Confidential Him and Her podcast. Last week, we had a reality star, Mercedes. And this week, we have Mimi Bouchard. She is an entrepreneur and she is an expert when it comes to meditation. This episode goes all over the place. It's very calming. It's going to give you tools, tactics, resources on how to have more peace in your life and how to hustle.
Starting point is 00:01:25 She is a very impressive person to me. Yeah, she's a real hustler. And you could get that within five seconds of talking to her. I always admire people that really just go after it, put it out there, take chances, try to create a path that is unique for themselves, and just really push the boundaries. And I think that she does that. Mimi launched her app, The Superhuman App, which we are giving 15 memberships away at the end of this episode. So make sure you stay tuned. It's a meditation app. I'm absolutely obsessed with her legs up meditation. Her voice is so soothing and peaceful. I will just lay on my crystal mat, put my legs up and listen to her voice and it immediately
Starting point is 00:02:06 just grounds me. I really respect her in this space. She has a beautiful Instagram. And with that, let's meet entrepreneur and badass Mimi Bouchard. This is the Skinny Confidential, him and her. We are in studio with someone that I have wanted to podcast with for a while. We're doing a podcast swap with her too. But we were just talking off air about all the different places you've lived. And I feel like a lot of people, especially right now, are starting to examine that they don't actually want to live in a place for 20 years.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Can you speak on all the different places that you've lived and why you decided to leave Canada in the first place? Yeah, for sure. So when I was 18, I left home. I was born and raised in Toronto and I just needed to get out of there. So I picked, well, I thought I was supposed to go to university because that's what everyone else was doing. And I was pretty lost at the time. So I picked Halifax, which was a very long flight for in Canada from Toronto. And I went to this university, which was a very long flight for in Canada from Toronto. And I went to this university there for like a semester and a half until I realized it was just not my thing. I really just did not do well at that place or any big schooling system. I think
Starting point is 00:03:16 I just, I repelled it. But yes, when I was 18, I moved there and then I decided to go to London. And at the time I had started my fashion blog, I was 18, wanted to do my own thing. And I just coded this website, learning on YouTube how to figure it out because I didn't have money at the time. So I just wanted to make it work. And I decided to leave school. My parents and grandparents weren't very happy. So I negotiated my way to do an online or not an online. I negotiated my way to do a one month long course in London. It was like a fashion journalism course. Hold on. You negotiated your way. What does that mean? Like you bribed your parents? Let me get deep with that. What do you mean you negotiated your way?
Starting point is 00:03:54 Oh, yeah. I'm good at getting what I want in ways. So I knew how to work my parents, my grandparents. They were like, no, I go to school. I was like, no, I feel like I'm meant for different things in my life. You know, I just don't feel like I can grow here. These are the prime years of my life and I want to be an entrepreneur. So I decided, I was like, you know, I'm leaving school. I'm taking this big risk and I'm going to go on some journey. I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Give me a year. I really want to make this fashion blog work. I'm like, give me one year and I'll go back to school if I fail. My parents were like, okay, you know, we really don't want you to, but you know, how about you't want you to, but you know, how about you do a course when you go abroad? So I found this like one month long fashion
Starting point is 00:04:30 journalism course in London. And I picked London because it's like an English speaking city. And I went there, I packed my bags and I just went and fell in love with the city and was applying for a two-year working visa when I was there for the month and then moved a few months later. And I was there for almost six years. And then, yeah. And then I lived in France for a few months after that, traveled around a lot. And then now I'm in the Bahamas. I think that I saw you on Made in Chelsea. How does that happen? And what really goes into filming a reality show like that? Because it is like the hills. From what I've heard, it's like the hills, you told me off air, of England, correct? Yeah, I was on there. It was years ago. And yeah, I was young and naive. So I was in London for a year working my butt off trying to make it work. And then I started freaking out because I didn't
Starting point is 00:05:18 have a visa for the year after that. And I really wanted to get a visa because I didn't want to go back to Canada. And I started trying to figure out ways to stay. And at the time with my fashion blog, I started doing videos on YouTube, which are thankfully not there anymore because they were very embarrassing. But I think we all have those things online that you just, you got to keep private for now. Post a throwback one day just to remind us. One day. It was cute. It was cute. But yeah, anyway, so I started doing a lot of video content and I loved it. So I thought, okay, TV. I would love to do TV. It'd push me out of my comfort zone. That would get me a visa here in London. And I want to do TV presenting. Like I just, I want to try it out. So at the time I was working at a juice bar in the mornings,
Starting point is 00:05:58 and then I would go intern at this styling agency, getting paid $8 an hour on the other side of town. Then I'd come back to the other side of town where I initially was. And then I'd go intern at this styling agency getting paid $8 an hour on the other side of town. Then I'd come back to the other side of town where I initially was. And then I'd go babysit for a nanny for this Italian family at night and then work on my blog after that. So that was like my whole year there. And then during the time I was at the juice bar, I was like, okay, how do I meet people that can get me into the TV industry? Like your network is your net worth.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I was reading a lot of personal development books at the time. And then I decided that I'm just going to cold DM all these people. So I was sitting at the juice bar when no people were in the juice bar. I would literally take my phone, copy and paste the same message to hundreds of people. No matter what type of people were those was like, I would Google literally people who work in TV in London. I fucking love this did. I fucking love this. This is finding angles. Go on. Yeah, no, I did anything I couldn't. I didn't know anyone. So I knew a lot of people in Canada, you know, born and raised there, but I knew no one in London, like absolutely no one. So I needed to figure out how I could, you know, network and meet people that I wanted to potentially work with one day or, you know, meet people through them. So... And wait, one question.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Why did you choose London? Because that's just where I went for that fashion journalism course. And I just, it just happened. But did you pick that course because you knew you want to go to London? No, no, no. I just Googled courses in Europe or something. Yeah, yeah. And at the time, London was still in Europe.
Starting point is 00:07:22 So yeah, I was messaging all these people. I probably messaged like 500 people and it was the same message. I remember it perfectly. It was, hey, like. And at the time, London was still in Europe. So yeah, I was messaging all these people. I probably messaged like 500 people. And it was the same message. I remember it perfectly. It was, hey, like, I'm new to London. Can I pick your brain and take you for coffee about the TV industry? I'm really interested. And one person answered out of those 500. And she brought me to my first event. And it was like a PR event. So I met so many people there. And then it started just like the spider web. You know, I met this person, that person. I just networked like crazy trying to make ends meet and trying to figure out a way for me to get into the TV industry and presenting. I go to another event a couple months later,
Starting point is 00:07:53 and I meet my old agent. And she says, Mimi, it's going to be really hard for you to find a presenting job here because they want a British accent, and they won't get you a visa right away because you have to really work yourself up in this industry. But if you go on this other show, me and Chelsea, I'll start representing you right away and they'll get you a visa. And I said, honestly, I've never thought I would do reality, but okay. Like I just really wanted to stay in London. And long story short, you know, I was on the show for a few years. I was never really like a main character on it, but they definitely manipulated and it's a very fake show. And I'm really like a main character on it, but they definitely manipulated and it's a very fake show. And I'm happy to say it, you know, I used it as much as they used me.
Starting point is 00:08:31 And I was very naive at the time. Oh my God, I love that. I used it as much as they used me. That's amazing. No, like it's true. And like they would air things that were just so awful. Like there was this girl on the show once that like called me fat on TV and like they aired it and they didn't tell me that she said that. It was in a scene I wasn't in and I saw it and I was just like horrified because at the time I had a different body and I wasn't taking care of myself as much and it was really sad especially because I did struggle with like disordered eating and like it was really bad so she called you fat on the television show yeah like in one of those confessionals or one of the like no no it wasn't like that it was. It was just in another scene. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:06 But anyway, they kind of painted me out to be this like bad guy when I'm literally, it was just so far from the truth. And thankfully that was like years ago. I left like four years ago. So my audience now, I have worked really hard to kind of change that. It definitely gave me, I don't regret it because it gave me a platform. And like I said, I used it. They used me. But ever since I left, you just lose followers because you're not relevant for that show anymore. But I've been gaining followers from my meditation app and from what I do with the personal development stuff. So now my audience, I'm losing like 20,000 followers a month and then gaining 21,000 or something. But it's different people. Like sitting in the, like I'll put my like network executive hat on, right? I always tell
Starting point is 00:09:49 people like, I don't care at all about what the following is, even from the brand perspective. It means it's, it's literally like, do you have an audience that cares about what you're saying and what you're doing? Right. Right. Like so many, I think so many creators forget that and they start thinking it's about this number and this level of fame. Like you can look at really famous people that may be spectacles, but when it comes to actually like providing a message or moving the needle on something, like they don't do anything, right? They're just kind of spectacles. I think there's a distinguish to make.
Starting point is 00:10:17 So to me, it's always about impact and engagement and does somebody actually have something to say that people want to listen to? There is one thing that I cannot handle and that is Michael Bostic complaining. And when he throws his back out, it is as if he is dying. So the other day, he was working out with our trainer here in Austin and he threw his back out.
Starting point is 00:10:44 And I am telling you, I, at every turn, was reminded that his back hurt. So here's what I did. I gave him a little rollerball of CBD, put it on his back, and then I used our Theragun. And this is like this handheld therapy device, and it releases your deepest muscle tension. He was in heaven. This mixed with the CBD just opened his back, relaxed his muscles. I did it for like 10 minutes straight. And I am telling you guys, and this is crazy, he stopped complaining. This is like, we need a round of applause here. The Theragun saved his life. It saved my life. I wouldn't have been able to get anything done with my razor launch had we not nipped this in the bud. The one that we like is the Theragun Gen 4. That is the best one in my opinion. I just feel like it really works for breaking up the
Starting point is 00:11:37 muscle. I personally like to use it on my neck. I have huge boobs and sometimes my neck just feels like it's jolting forward. So to sit down and watch Real Housewives with my Theragun is very efficient. You can make your partner stop complaining. I mean, it just does so many things. There's so many athletes that love it. Hundreds of thousands of customers and me, Michael too. Try Theragun for 30 days starting at only $199. That is crazy. You're going to go to therabody.com slash skinny right now and get your Gen 4 Theragun today. That's therabody.com slash skinny, therabody.com slash skinny. I think that one thing that's so interesting about you that I'd like to dive deeper on is that you transformed your life and to me it seems like in every way I know that you you
Starting point is 00:12:35 had weight loss and we can talk about that because I'm sure some of the audience wants to know but you also transformed to me your your energy your ether, your environment. There's a lot of transformation that's happening. How did that start? Did it start on Made in Chelsea? And can you really walk us through that evolution? Absolutely. So I started getting really into this space of personal development when I was, I would say 18, like when I left home. I was going through a really pivotal time in my life. I was, you know, in my tiny residence room in university before leaving, locked myself in my room and decided I wouldn't leave until I figured out what I wanted to do with my life.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I was reading my first personal development book, The Success Principles by Jack Canfield. It was like the Bible to me at the age. It was the perfect book to start with. And anyone listening that has never read a personal development book, which I doubt because you're listening to this podcast, definitely read that book. It was just kind of the basics. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:30 So I kind of just delved into that. And it was really, I hate the word, but it was a journey. You know what I mean? It was a journey. And then I started meditating as well around the same time. And I can't say that I had this massive shift overnight. It really did take years. And on the show, I just didn't feel like myself at all. And it was kind of a gray area time because I was partying a lot
Starting point is 00:13:50 and I just wasn't being in tune with myself. I wasn't me. And it was after I left and after I started dating my boyfriend, Ben, actually, where I stopped drinking and I just really started doing the inner work. And every single morning I would do my morning routine and I journal, and I would meditate. And then I started recording these voice notes to myself that I would listen to in the morning. And they're like motivational little voice notes, because I wanted to feel motivated in the morning. I didn't know how. And then with my podcast microphone, because I've had my podcast for years, I started in garage band, like putting music to these motivational pep talks. And I'd start listening to those in the morning. And then, you know, a couple of years later, who would have known that I now have a motivational meditation app. And it's now something that has kind of
Starting point is 00:14:32 created from that, from that place of recording for myself, you know? So it really just, there was no aha moment. It was really gradual and just doing the work and being consistent. But I do feel like this year I've looked back and I'm like, wow, it's like this year I've really noticed the massive transformation and change, like just in my, like inside, right? Like my mind and my, the way I think and the way I act, my energy is completely different. And even my OG podcast listeners will say like, whoa, you've changed so much. And I'm like, oh, like I didn't even think that, you know, the podcast could have exuded that massive
Starting point is 00:15:09 transformation, but it's just been me becoming more and more myself. And it wasn't this big change where I've become this whole new person. I'm just becoming who I've always been. And I lost myself for a little while. And I think it started around the age of 12 or 13 until two years ago. Honestly, I just lost myself. I wasn't... How did you lose yourself? Get more detailed with that. I started caring a lot what other people thought of me.
Starting point is 00:15:33 I became really insecure. I kind of went through a hard time when I was like a teenager. And yeah, like I just... It wasn't me. I put on this like fake confidence and it wasn't me. And I just was lost. That's all I can say. I was just lost. And I was just doing things for the wrong reasons, just trying to be accepted by people. And now it's just like, I do everything for myself and to serve people.
Starting point is 00:15:58 And I know it sounds really tacky, but like my mission in my life, like I'm living my truth, like this meditation app, like what I'm doing now, where I'm living, everything I do is just so aligned. And I am really happy that I reached this point at this age, but I had to go through so much life to get here. When you say you stopped drinking, did you stop drinking because you just didn't want alcohol in your life? You had a problem. Why did you decide to stop drinking? I definitely was partying too much. And that was like, I was young. I was in London. I was having fun and going out a lot. And it was kind of the environment I was in. And I never felt good being in that environment. It was just, it wasn't aligned with me. And I don't not drink. I have, you know, a glass of
Starting point is 00:16:40 wine here and there every couple months. But the drinking and partying and going out late, it just, it really messed with my headspace. It really, I lost myself again when I would be doing those things. And I didn't like how I felt. I didn't like who I was. I didn't like, you know, my self-image when I would be drinking and partying. And it's a great way to get clear is to stop drinking. And I don't think you need to cut it out severely if you don't have an issue with it. I don't think I was ever addicted. I just followed the crowd. But it just, it didn't make me feel good. And the habit of going out and drinking every week just really deterred me. And I truly believe that if you want to reach massive success in your life, you're going to have to reevaluate your habits. What are you doing that may make you average? And I hate, you know, sometimes people dislike me using the word
Starting point is 00:17:32 average in a negative way, but I do. Who would want an average life? Well, it's truthful, right? Like people, it's, it's, was I talking to you about this, Lauren, about like people look at sacrifices like they're losing something, but you really should look at sacrifices like you have the ability to gain something. That's why you make a sacrifice, right? That's the only reason you make a sacrifice because you're gaining something somewhere else. And people, if you just talk about, just take the topic of building a business or building a brand, that takes a lot of focus and a lot of concentration. And if you're spending a good amount of your time going out, partying, drinking, ruining your mind, smashing yourself every night, that's going to take a lot of the focus away. And then you're competing with people that may have a tremendous amount of focus. And so they're
Starting point is 00:18:14 going to surpass you because they're not doing some of those poor behaviors. You know what I like to call that? The investor's mentality. That's actually a chapter in my book that I'm writing. Have an investor's mentality towards life. Obviously, we know about investing money, you know, putting some aside now to reap the benefits later in 10 years, 20 years. Why don't you have an investor's mentality towards your life? That's so smart.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Like, look at your whole life like you're investing in it. Invest in yourself when you wake up in the morning, when you do your morning meditation, even if you don't feel like it, when you actually bring yourself back to earth for a second before arguing with your partner and just think to yourself, okay, like, you know, if I'm going to be snappy, like that's like the compound effect, the snappier you are, the worse the
Starting point is 00:18:52 relationship gets. Like that's just a small example, but you know, it's, I always believe, and this is one of my number one beliefs, my number one value and principles in my life is that you're a hundred% responsible for your life. 100%. And so many people want to fight me on that. But honestly... Well, if it's not you, then who is it? Right? You're 100% responsible and you create your life. And I think that's the biggest thing that motivated me when I first started getting into this space, because I had that epiphany, that realization, wait, I can control the outcome
Starting point is 00:19:25 to an extent. Obviously, we want to leave room for the universe to do its thing, but I can control whether or not I'm successful, whether or not I'm happy in a great relationship in the body that I love being in. That's in my control. And when I realized that, this fire just started building inside of me. And I was young and I was ambitious and I was just going for it. And I'm really, really grateful for that version of me because it brought me here and I'm still trying to evolve and be better and in my ways now, of course. Everyone always has things they're working on, but I'm a different person. What I really like about you and why I wanted to bring you on the podcast
Starting point is 00:20:05 is I think that you weren't taking no for an answer from anyone and you created something out of nothing. And I have so much respect for that because it's not easy. I would love for you to tell our audience a couple of tangible things that they can do daily. Obviously, meditation, any little things that you think can make them sort of transform their life over a period of time. All right, we have discussed the importance of therapy in this podcast many times. I know I first tried therapy when I was 18 years old. I was dealing with some grief and I just found the whole process to be really gnarly. It was like I had to get in the car, drive there, sit in the waiting room, run into someone from high school, do the thing, leave. It was just
Starting point is 00:20:56 like, to be honest, emotionally draining. I would have way rather have done it from the comfort of my home, which is why I am very, very excited to tell you guys about Better Help because it's not a crisis line. It's not a self-help. It's professional counseling done securely online in your home. And why I wanted to work with them is because everything you share is confidential. It's convenient. It's professional. It's affordable. It checks all the boxes. And I just think there's so many people dealing with so many different issues or feelings right now. There's been a lot this year that I think to be able to work with a licensed professional counselor in your home is powerful. And I really wish I had this when I was 18 years old. If you are dealing
Starting point is 00:21:41 with depression, stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, sleeping, trauma, anger, family conflicts, LGBT matters, grief, self-esteem, they got you. The service is available for clients worldwide. And the best part is it's affordable and it's more affordable than traditional offline counseling. I think offline counseling is extremely expensive. So to be able to have this option is incredible. And they also have financial aid. I would definitely check out BetterHelp. We want you to start living a happier, more peaceful life today.

So I think the number one thing is actually waking up a bit earlier than you would. That just builds this self-confidence inside of you. And you talk about this too, you know, discipline, keeping promises to yourself, it builds confidence. I think that was Ed Milet's thing that he said as well, right? I love him too. I've done interviews with him too. He's amazing. I need to listen. Is it on your podcast? Yeah, yeah. I went to his house in Laguna a year and a half ago and he's so nice. How have I not listened to that? I always search his name on the podcast app.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Oh, well, I need to figure out my SEO because I, yeah, he's amazing. But anyway, going back to the point. So everyone go listen to that. I'm sure it's great. It was really great. But yeah, so, you know, the small things like just start with waking up a little bit earlier, keeping these promises to yourself and doing it small steps. Like you don't need to overwhelm yourself. So many people just don't do anything because they're overwhelmed with how much they think they should be doing. And I think this is a big reason why
Starting point is 00:23:30 in my meditation app, Superhuman, I wanted to create these meditations for any time of the day because you can actually start doing things like this while doing other things. Like you can multitask. So sometimes in the morning, if I'm really not in the mood to do a seated meditation,
Starting point is 00:23:44 I'll put on like a chill in meditation while doing my makeup and getting ready. And I still feel like I got that in because it's just like, you know, instead of listening to music, I'm just flooding my brain with these positive affirmations, getting myself in a state, priming myself. If you learn a routine to help you prime yourself in the morning, no matter what that looks like, you're set for the day. I always like to say, and this is a quote that I made, and I'm really, really happy with how a lot of people have kind of,
Starting point is 00:24:13 a lot of people like this quote, and they post it on their backgrounds, on their phones and stuff, because it's such a great reminder. Your mornings create your days, and your days create your weeks, your weeks create your months, and your months create your years, and your years are your life. Like we all know this, but think about it in that way, in that structure. It all starts with your morning. So if your morning is kind of shitty, then your day is going to be kind of shitty. And then if you look at that from a big picture view, you know, you're not investing in yourself in the morning because that's like, you know, in the big picture, your life is going to be just a bit more shitty. But if you really prime yourself in the morning and just practice a little bit of discipline, your day changes and then your years change and your life changes. And then you don't wake up one morning when you're 80 years old regretting. And that's my biggest fear.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I love that quote. That's unbelievable. I want you to speak on weight loss. And the reason I want you to speak on weight loss is to me, it doesn't seem like you just started eating healthy. It seems like there was a lot of different things mentally that you changed to drop 20 pounds. Oh, it's all mental. It's literally just all mental. That's it. You have to change your self-image. You're not the kind of person who struggles around food anymore. You need to change your self-image. Nothing in your life will change until your self-image changes. So what I like to do when I want to change something in my life now, I figure out what kind of person has what I want, and then I become that person. So it's all about self-image. You know, if you want to lose weight, if you feel like it's hard, and if you feel like, oh, it runs in my family, it's not easy for me,
Starting point is 00:25:40 it's easy for that person, but not me. That's a narrative. That's what you're going to get. It's a narrative. But if you really start reprogramming your mind and rewiring your thoughts and how you think and how you feel every day, and you start acting as if you're the kind of person that is living in the most amazing body effortlessly, the healthiest, most radiant version of yourself effortlessly, that's what you're going to get. I actually wanted it to be easy. And so I programmed my mind to think living in the body I want to be in is effortless. I didn't want it to be hard. And then guess what started happening? The more I did that, and this is a meditation I just visualized and used mental rehearsal in my mind to overcome my old binge eating disorder because I used to always binge when I was younger, especially as a teenager, I'd binge and purge, I haven't even spoken about that that much, but
Starting point is 00:26:28 I used to throw up a lot when I was younger and I had eating issues, like really bad ones. And the main thing that helped me was mental rehearsal and meditation, thinking of myself and getting myself into this state. And I've actually created meditations for binge eating on my app because it really helped me and it's helped a lot of people. In the meditation, you essentially use mental rehearsal to think of yourself in the situation where you're about to binge. And then you stop yourself. And then you reprogram your mind to think differently in the moment. And you practice it in meditation. So much so that when you're in the real life situation where you have that trigger, you're feeling anxiety, you have a fight with your boyfriend, you want to binge, whatever it is, you actually stop for a second and you think
Starting point is 00:27:15 differently. And the more that you use that mental rehearsal, the more your real life is going to change because our minds don't know the difference between something intensely visualized and real life. So to reprogram your mind and start acting and being different, you need to visualize it. So how do you implement meditation? And I want to know from, first, I want to know in your morning, night, day, what is your real-life meditation? And then maybe you can give someone a tip on how to be very soft with it to start. Yes, absolutely. So for me, I always do a seated meditation once a day at least. And not, you know, listen, I want to say once a day at least, but there are definitely days where I'm not perfect. And like I said before, I'll do a
Starting point is 00:27:55 chilling meditation when I'm getting ready because I'm just not in the mood. But I'll do a seated meditation in the morning if I had a long night or, you know, I'm feeling bloated because I was, you know, walking all day yesterday or something. My legs are puffy. I'll do like a legs up wall laying meditation, which I actually have a whole category in superhuman legs up wall meditation. It's like an inversion yoga pose that they use for lymphatic drainage and inflammation. So, you know, you can do like an eight minute legs up wall meditation and you're visualizing, like I have one for de-bloating and that's like so helpful because often if I eat late or something, I'll feel kind of bloated, and I'll just want to wake up in the morning and feel refreshed
Starting point is 00:28:32 and energized, so I'll do that, or just a classic seated one, you know, throughout your day. So, my main theory is that when I used to meditate and I would just do a seated one in the morning, I felt amazing at that time, but then I would go on with my day and I'd get back to the old self. So I only felt great during and right after that morning meditation. So I thought to myself, how do I make sure I feel like I'm in this heightened primed state all day long? And that's why I created walking meditations, grocery shopping meditations, cooking meditations, cleaning meditations, chillin' meditations, like literally a meditation for every single time of your day. So you can do other things while you're listening and you're just priming your mind subconsciously while doing everyday activities. And that's where
Starting point is 00:29:14 real change happens. It's like, have you heard of like the Pavlov's dog theory where like, you know, he, the dog salivate, salivate when the bell rings, you know, that's what you're doing with these meditations. If you, every time you walk to work, if you listen to a walking meditation, soon enough, you don't even need to be listening to the meditation to be walking to work as your best self, feeling full of life and energized and motivated and clear-minded. So the more that you do these everyday activities as your best self and you teach your brain to associate these new thoughts and feelings with everyday actions, the more you're going to change. And that is where real change happens. And if you were just asking me, where did my change happen?
Starting point is 00:29:55 When I started really doing this work, like committing to myself, I dabbled in it for years. When I committed to myself about a year and a half ago, everything's changed. Like the growth that I've seen in the past 16, 18 months has been monstrous. It's because I'm doing this. I'm doing it throughout my entire day. So you're just meditating wherever you couldn't possibly meditate. It's not even meditation though. Like I use that word because that's like when I was relaunching my app, like I almost didn't call it meditation because it's just like really amazing music set to like affirmations, getting you into that state. It's not spiritual. My meditations aren't spiritual at all. They're more like pragmatic to the point, motivational. It's just like motivating on top of
Starting point is 00:30:36 great music. It's just like a vibey kind of modern approach to meditation. I have a theory that I've been trying to articulate in my head and in my brain. And you're talking about like basically manifesting this version of the person that you really want to be. I actually think that a lot of the reasons so many people in the upcoming generations and our generation are unhappy is because the business of social media, the business of podcasting, the business of YouTube, the business of putting yourself out there online has become so big, right? It's like you're curating this whole environment where people are making business out of it. They're getting social validation. They're making friends. It's become obviously an integral part of our life. But with that comes the first time in history where you are putting yourself out there for the world to judge at a mass level.
Starting point is 00:31:27 And I think what a lot of people are doing is they're looking at life now as almost like a formula. So what they're doing is they're not actually authentically living the life they really want to live. They're not being who they really want to be. They're doing what works for social media or what they think their peers will like. Attaching themselves to causes they don't really care about. Jumping into things that really has no importance to them. Acting a certain way, dressing a certain way, all these things. And it's almost working counter to
Starting point is 00:31:54 what you're talking about, which is if you were moving in the direction of wanting to live an empowered, authentic life that you've found to be an enlightened life, you're going in that direction. This, when you're constantly putting yourself out there in an inauthentic way in order to build a business, build a brand, get social validation, make sure your peers like you attach yourself to a certain group, you're actually moving further and further away and making yourself more and more unhappy. And the reason I'm trying to articulate this is long-winded is I've been getting messages lately about people just saying like, oh, well, like you speak your mind or you say what you believe in.
Starting point is 00:32:29 And the reason being is like, I don't think that's so novel. I think what's become novel is people not actually doing what they want to do and saying what they actually think. They're just going along with what they perceive to be the way that people want them to act. And I think it's creating a vast unhappiness and miserable existence for many people. Just here to talk about Versed again, because it is the cleanest drugstore skincare brand out there. This is important because ever since I started the Skinny Confidential, I've always really leaned in
Starting point is 00:33:06 to budget finds. I even have a chapter in my book and it showcases all the products that you can find at the drugstore. And to know that there's a drugstore brand available now that's vegan, sustainably minded, and hyper-focused on bringing you real results with good ingredients and it doesn't break your bank account is amazing. I wish that I had this option when I was in high school and especially college. And I was just trying to do anything I could for my skin. I remember I was living at my godparents' house and I didn't have a lot of options for skincare because I didn't have a lot of money. And I was literally using like olive oil and grapeseed oil and it worked. It was great, but it would have been nice if I had had Versed.
Starting point is 00:33:48 If you're going to start with a Versed product, I cannot say enough good things about their lip oil. Everyone's working on their skin. They're working on their neck. Some people are even taking it down to their hands, their tits, whatever. But I feel like people forget that the lips are also skin and we use our lips so much and it's important to nourish the lips and keep them moisturized. So I really like this lip oil just during the day when I'm working out. It's really light. It feels nice. Sean Garrett was on Get the Fuck Out of the Sun podcast and he said a lip oil is absolutely essential to fight lip wrinkles. So this also lays nice under lipstick and doesn't make your lipstick crack. I just feel like you can't go wrong with a lip oil. There's this cute, it's

I agree fully with all of your views on how toxic the world is right now. You know, we're going to use that term, you know, in the other way now, like the toxic cancel culture, trolls. Like I have,
Starting point is 00:35:15 I've experienced it and I find it very saddening. And I think the world right now is you're either going in one of two directions, you directions. You're either doing your own thing and feeling motivated and happy and working on yourself and taking 100% responsibility for your life. And even though there are shitty circumstances in the world, you're fighting for what you want. Or on the completely other side, you're just following the herd and you're embodying this victim mentality and you're blaming other people for your problems and you're looking out for you're looking to hate and to yell and to express yourself like I've never understood someone that will write a rude message to a celebrity online or someone with a following
Starting point is 00:35:57 online how where do you what where does that person need to be to do that like I feel for them I think it goes deeper than that because I used to think I was kind of like, okay, it's this mentality, but I think it goes deeper. Like I want to do a podcast called how to think for yourself, because I think what's happening is this is people aren't actually thinking for themselves and they actually, and they're not actually caring about the, like, you know, they're putting it, they're not, they're not, they're, they're getting in fights about things that they actually don't really care about, right? Like they're just attaching themselves to what the group is attaching themselves to. And if they actually thought for themselves and said,
Starting point is 00:36:30 do I really care about this? Is this really important to me? A vast majority of people would be like, oh, not really. Or why is this triggering me? Yes. Why don't you ask yourself, why is this triggering me? Wait, am I feeling insufficient in this area of my life? And I'm feeling triggered because I'm actually
Starting point is 00:36:46 insecure is that why or is it because of x y and z or whatever it is like is it actually about this person it's probably not because for me when I when I'm in a really happy place if I see something I don't like online guess what I do I scroll past it and I don't care I don't yell I don't cause a fit if it's not harming anyone else I don't yell. I don't cause a fit. If it's not harming anyone else, I don't fucking care. You can do whatever you want. We have this culture now where you can't have a different opinion. You can't. There's things that people will completely disregard common sense completely. And because there's a group of people that says, we need to be this way. And if you're not this way, you are an outcast,
Starting point is 00:37:29 you're an enemy, you are against whatever, and you're a bad person. And so what it's doing is it's creating this environment where people that put themselves out there and have an opinion are not actually sharing their real authentic opinions. Listen, and I'll tell you this, and then I'll shut up. There are so many people I meet on this fucking show that say one thing on the show and after they're like, oh, they tell me how they really feel. And they're like, I can't really say it on there. And I'm like, why can't you say it on the air? Right. So that can't just be with people going on podcasts and celebrities. That's everyday people. There's people that believe a certain thing, but they're scared to say what they actually believe. That's a very sad and dangerous time to be in the world. It's very dangerous. You're right. But if you look through history, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:03 people, most of the time, the mass population like to just follow the crowd. And I guess maybe it's a like survival mechanism. I don't know what it is, but it's rooted in something. I just think, yeah, just being authentic and real. And I honestly think though, the more work that you do on yourself, the more you're okay with being you and you're not worried what others think of you. And I noticed that myself when I was starting to do the work more, like I literally, the first thing that, the first massive change I noticed was me not caring what other people thought of me anymore
Starting point is 00:38:33 because that was this huge thing for me when I was younger. I cared so much. I would try to find validation through other people and that just dropped. So I really think maybe that's a thing. And yeah, I just, it's not even worth talking about to an extent, to be honest with you. Like I, it just bores me now. Like I, I can't change other people. I can try to influence people in a positive way, but I'm not here to fight, you know. The dangerous thing for creators and for celebrity,
Starting point is 00:38:56 for people that make money by endorsing other businesses and brands. And this is a dangerous thing. These brands, if you create an environment where a certain demographic of people get angry about what one creator says, those brands get scared about their own well-being and they shut the campaigns down or they shut the sponsorship down. So that person's money is hurt. And so what happens is you create an environment with people that have a responsibility to actually be their authentic self, not being their authentic self because they're more concerned about their paycheck than they are about actually living as themselves. I have a story for you out there. Yeah. No, I think like what I tell people is like, there's a very good chance. I feel like we have a lot of stories.
Starting point is 00:39:37 There's a very good chance every week that some brand or somebody pulls out and says, hey, I don't like it. But they're secondary to me actually being myself or Lauren actually being herself, right? Like I'll lose all of them if it's me not being myself. Yeah, I would like to talk more about how you said that you cared so much what people think and now you don't. Is there something that you had an epiphany that you can pinpoint or was it just slow over time and meditating, getting in tune with yourself? What did that look like? It's a great question. I think it was just, it was one of those things that happened the more that I learned. And I think the number one thing that I did starting in this journey was read. I read every personal development
Starting point is 00:40:16 success book I could. I was obsessed. And every time I would read one, I'd get so motivated and inspired. And I just started not caring. It just happened because I also started seeing the people around me just as human beings. I didn't put them on a pedestal anymore. And I valued myself more. So I wasn't underneath them. And now I just feel like I'm an equal, you know, I'm equal. And, you know, everyone's just human and they're doing the best that they can with what they have in life. And there's a beautiful rawness about that. Like, I'm not, like, honestly, I rarely get nervous anymore. I rarely feel inferior.
Starting point is 00:40:52 And that's because I'm confident. And I think it's amazing to feel this way. And I hope everyone listening, everyone in this world can experience that. Because once you get to this level of just being really happy with you, you don't react as much anymore. You are understanding of more people. You approach situations in a different way. Like even my boyfriend's noticed tremendously my change because we've been dating for four years. And, you know, he's been with me from the beginning of my massive transformation. He's
Starting point is 00:41:21 seen it all. I'm a completely different person, but we have like our relationship has benefited insanely from this and he's done his own work as well, of course. But you know, it's just every part of your life gets better and things that you used to react to, you just don't react as much anymore. And you actually start thinking with a clear mind every day and you're just you and that's it. One thing I admire about you is that you execute. A lot of people, you know, they have ideas and they don't execute. How do you set your day up to execute and how do you end your night to execute in the morning? It's a great question. I love how you asked the night thing too because I really believe your morning routine starts the night before. So at night, I'll start with night. I really try not to be watching TV right before bed. You know,
Starting point is 00:42:01 my boyfriend and I love watching The Office after dinner sometimes. And, you know, we love having that relaxation time. But at around 9, 930, I'm in bed and I'm reading a romance novel or a book on like dolphins or like something very vanilla where I'm just like, okay, I'm going to go to sleep feeling just calm and relaxed. And sometimes I'll do a night meditation. I have loads on the app that I love to use because the frequencies we use in there help you sleep better. But then I just go to sleep and I usually go to sleep around 10 and I wake up around six. And when I wake up, I try to get into sunlight right away. So we have a beautiful view of the ocean at my home in the
Starting point is 00:42:40 Bahamas. So I'll go outside and I'll take my big bottle of water and just very slowly wake up. I actually cut coffee a couple of weeks ago, which we need to talk about. Completely or just for a period of time? Oh, I'll maybe have it once in a while in the future, but I was addicted. Like over the past five years, I never went one morning without my one cup of coffee. And that one cup of coffee created a lot of issues for me hormonally and for my anxiety. So I got my hormones tested like I was telling you off air, and honestly, the coffee needed to cut for a bit. And it was really difficult at first because I thought, you know, I was always the person that said, I'm never giving it up. It's my source of joy. But I actually feel fine
Starting point is 00:43:19 without it. My hormones have been a lot more balanced, and it's been a stressful time with me with the new app. So just launching that. So I just kind of wanted to give my adrenals a break. But anyway, so I wake up in the morning, fresh air, sunlight, no phone. Like we all know this. If you want to be happier, don't go on your phone in the morning. Like just don't. Don't reinforce Lauren.
Starting point is 00:43:36 She's going to stare at me. Try it for a week. I want to take my phone and chuck it off a building when I wake up. I don't want it anywhere near me. Don't even look at it for 20 minutes. Like just try for 20 minutes. Turn it on airplane mode the night before. Put it in a cupboard. Don't even look at it. But how does, I actually want to know this and Michael's going to say I'm not looking at it from anyone else's perspective besides my own. How does anyone want to wake up and either look at what other people are doing
Starting point is 00:44:01 or stare at blue light? It just, it's so- I'll tell you why. It's addictive. It's an addiction. It's the last thing on earth I want to do when I wake up. I don't get it. Sure, I think- Or turn on the news.
Starting point is 00:44:13 That's better. Yeah. Let's turn on the news and see what's wrong in the world. That's way worse. Says you're not okay with sitting with your own thoughts. Or scrolling through Twitter to see everything that's negative. I don't want to do that for my morning. This is a new thing that I feel like needs to be on everyone's radar. And this is something that would totally be featured on the Skinny Confidential. Like I need to feature it on
Starting point is 00:44:43 the Skinny Confidential immediately. And that is a hydro jug. So I already have problems drinking water. It's just very hard to remember to drink water. But to have this hydro jug go with me everywhere, I'm telling you, it's so efficient. I like to sex up my water. I like to put lemon and mint and ginger. It's light. It's not too heavy, but I can just drink it wherever while I'm multitasking makes such a difference. They have this glass hydro jug. It's so cute. It has an oversized grip handle and it's fixed. This is so crazy at the perfect angle. So I don't have to use two hands to drink from the jug. Like a lot of these really sort of heavy cups, I can just use one and it comes with a
Starting point is 00:45:25 silicone sleeve. So it's not slipping out of my hand and it's protected and it's insulated. So it stays cold for longer, which we love. Mine is really Instagram worthy. I got this pink one. It has white detail. It's absolutely adorable. I will either put it in the fridge waiting for me the next morning or I'll just put it by my bed. So I have the option to drink nice, cold, chilled water when I wake up. My favorite part of the whole thing is their lid. There's no lid on the market like this. It includes this flip cap and it's a dual function sip spout. And Zaza even drinks out of this. It's like this detachable straw. It's really nice. You can just sip from the straw or remove the straw and pour it like normal. I'm into this for drinking more water. It's cute. It works. It gets the job done and you want it on your

I really also think it depends the relationship you have with your phone. I don't look at my phone as a source of a place where people can ask me for things. I know that sounds very strange. I have 686 unread text messages right now. Wow, that's true. If you text me, you're probably... Do you even text me back? No, no. And it's not because I'm like ignoring people. I just, I don't look at my phone as a place where someone can actually come to ask me for something. I think
Starting point is 00:47:01 a lot of people look at their phone as the place where people ask them. Their email, their text message, their DMs. I look at my phone as a place to be productive and service me. Service you, what do you mean? You're like jacking up some porn in the bathroom? What does that mean? I need to communicate a message or I need to, yes, I need to look at porn. Whatever it is. Try cutting out the porn. Maybe you'll feel more clear-minded too. I was kidding on the porn. But people have this relationship with their phone where it is their constant place to be reached, their inbox, their place where people can ask and make requests of them.
Starting point is 00:47:33 And I think if you have that relationship with the phone and you pick it up every morning, then you're constantly working on somebody else's apps. Well, unfortunately for creators, we work off our phones. So that's a little bit... No, you're not checking your phone in the morning as you're checking work.
Starting point is 00:47:44 You're checking it because it releases dopamine in your brain. I want to say something. Yeah, you're looking at memes. Pretty much everybody in the world now works off their phone to some degree, some more than others, but it's not fair to just say it for creators. That's for executives, that's for business people, that's for people, that's for everybody. We do work off of our phone 24-7. But it's the relationship people have with their phone is making it the place where it's okay to just allow any requests or asks to come in. Okay, Mimi, go back to what you were talking about. You don't check your phone.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Go ahead. Yes, the first at least 20 minutes. I really try don't even look at it. Yeah, I'll make my greens drink. So since I've been cutting out coffee, my new morning routine is my green morning, I call it, where I have my greens powder mixed with water and half a lemon. What's the brand?
Starting point is 00:48:26 Do you know? Organifi. Okay. I actually love them. Like they're amazing. So I use their green juice. So I mix it and the ingredients are amazing too. Like my hormone, my naturopath doctor, she told me, I showed her the ingredients and
Starting point is 00:48:38 she was like, yes, use that. It's really good. So they're actually a podcast sponsor too, funny enough, but I use them every single day. I don't like, I don't have that many, I don't say yes to many collaborations because I kind of just promote my meditations. But when I do, it's very aligned.
Starting point is 00:48:51 So yeah, they're amazing. So my green juice with half a lemon and I drink that with a little bit of ice and I sit on my balcony and I watch the ocean while I drink that like very low cortisol morning. In the Bahamas. I think that sounds super low cortisol. Oh, the Bahamas. I think that sounds super low cortisol. Oh, the birds chirping. It's a dream. And then yeah, then I'll go in and I'll kind of get my
Starting point is 00:49:11 morning routine stuff out, which is like my journal. I have my desk with like my vision board, my journal. I do a whole kind of writing thing every morning. I love to write just a diary, like a journaling diary, to-do list, kind of a bit of everything on my mind. And then I'll make my matcha. I'll do like an oat milk matcha latte. So that's kind of my replacement to coffee. Kind of trying to figure out how I can replace the oat milk with something because I know oat milk isn't like the best for you, but I enjoy it and I have it. You've got to live. You've got to live. You want your oat milk. Yeah. I'm still having my oat milk. And then like an hour or two later, around like 10 a.m.,
Starting point is 00:49:46 I'll have my green smoothie. So that's my green morning, my three green drinks. And I feel freaking amazing after. And it's like, I have spinach and spirulina and flax seeds and frozen mango and frozen banana. I just have it all in there. And I love it. Michael's been making a green juice for three days.
Starting point is 00:50:04 So he thinks he's an expert on it. Listen right. Michael's been doing a green smoothie too. You know what you're missing that she just mentioned? Spirulina. Yes, you're missing spirulina. It's so good for you and your thyroid. It's really good for hormones. Your daughter is made from spirulina. She's literally head to toe spirulina. A few other things too. Yeah, but she's also, she's a lot. Did you have a lot of spirulina? I had spirulina every day. Oh my God. Spirulina.
Starting point is 00:50:27 So good for you. Yes. That was another tip for my hormone doctor. When we were trying to balance my hormone, she was like, have spirulina every day. What are some wellness things that you do every single day besides green juice and meditation? Is there any like little tiny things that you find?
Starting point is 00:50:40 I don't know, a shot of apple cider vinegar, a certain skincare brand you love. What are little tiny things you do for yourself? And I'm honestly not saying this just because I'm on your podcast, but I use your ice roller every day. Thank you. That's very, very nice. No, I really do.
Starting point is 00:50:52 And in the morning... Thanks for coming on the show. Nice to meet you. No, I actually, I ice roll and I de-puff because I am a bloated person sometimes. And I love just taking care of my skin in that way. I have a very beautiful skincare routine that I really enjoy doing. So I'll put toner on, I'll put some oil, do my gua sha, and then I'll do the rest of my skincare and then ice roll or ice roll, then the rest of my skincare. Yeah, probably that direction or that order. Yeah, I really,
Starting point is 00:51:22 really just love taking care of myself and my skin and making it a meditative process. Like, I really think the trick to wellness, in my opinion, is to really pay attention to the small things and to be present in the moment when you're doing these things. If you're just gua sha-ing and ice rolling because like it just has you have to get it, you know, checked off your list. It's just not going to be as enjoyable like take your time sit down and like like massage your face and look at yourself in the mirror connect with yourself like how do you feel today like what is it like actually being conscious like for a moment not thinking about other things like what is it like doing your skincare and like taking the time to like brush
Starting point is 00:52:03 out your eyebrows like just being with yourself and I know a lot of people listening are like, okay, who has the time for that? It doesn't need to take more than five minutes. I like my skincare routine takes five minutes. Like I do it quickly, but I do it intentionally, intentionally. Yeah. I think that's a game changer with everything in life. Like your life is just passing you by. Why don't you enjoy where you are right now? And I always like to say with personal development, you know, we're goal-seeking creatures, humans. So I like to live in the sweet spot between the present moment and striving for more. Because just living in the present moment, you know, all of the time, like, I want to like, I like doing goal-setting things. I like to move towards goals and achieve things.
Starting point is 00:52:39 So my personal sweet spot is living in the moment while striving for more, but being happy where I am while wanting more. And I think that's such an important thing. Ed Milet calls that blissfully dissatisfied. Oh, I love that. I think that that's like a perfect what you're saying. It's blissfully dissatisfied. Being blissful, but you're still dissatisfied. I would love to know more about your app.
Starting point is 00:53:03 I really have recommended it to my audience, I think, for meditation. It's incredible. I know that you relaunched it with a new name. Maybe you could tell us about where to find it. I don't know if you want to do a code. Pimp it out. Oh, thank you so much. Yeah. So Superhuman, if you just go to the app store and type in Superhuman or you can go to the website to see free meditations and sign up there. Just superhuman.app. And yeah, it's been an incredible new launch. It used to be called Mimi Method.
Starting point is 00:53:33 And honestly, it was a very big decision to do the big rebrand and to change the app and make it all custom. And we've put a lot into this and I'm really proud of it. The same developers that made Headspace have made my app and I went to the best of the best.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Yeah, like I really hired on the most elite team I could find. And I put all the money I made from the business so far back into it. And it's already just paid off. And I wanted it to be a platform that would be appealing to everyone. It's for both men and women. And there's categories literally for every part of your day. And if you are new to meditation, you got to try this out. It's not scary. It's not overly spiritual and woo. Not that that's a bad thing, but it's just not me. And you can listen to them at any time of the day. I have like one
Starting point is 00:54:14 of my members, she was really not into meditation and she was really scared to kind of get into the space because she was just like, no, I get bored when I meditate. It's just not for me. I'm not the kind of person that meditates with, which by the way, I used to always say that that was me, which is funny because I was just doing the wrong types of meditation. And then she started using my walking meditations every day to work. She would do her walking meditation and her life like really changed quickly. And then she started integrating, you know, like a cooking meditation while she was making dinner. And she wasn't changing what she was doing during the day. She was just swapping music with a walking meditation or a cooking meditation. And over literally two months, she just realized that her life was completely different. And she started
Starting point is 00:54:54 seeing things so differently. And she started seeing new opportunities. And everything changed for her. And there are so many stories like that. I have thousands of members. And if anyone listening right now is interested, there's a 14-day free trial and money-back guarantee. So it's pretty risk-free. I love that because whenever I find myself listening to a gossip podcast, I try to... I mean, once in a while, it's fine. But I don't want to constantly inundate myself with gossip. And I think you're so right. While you're cooking, while you're putting your makeup, if you can find that time to just use it to do something productive, I think that're so right. While you're cooking, while you're putting your makeup, if you can find that time to just use it to do something productive,
Starting point is 00:55:26 I think that's really smart. What's a book, a podcast, a resource that you would leave our audience with? Okay. Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Dispenza, the book. It's a great book. He's a huge inspiration of mine. I've been to his week-long events. He really, his work has changed my life.
