Building Confidence for Introverts
00:00:56
Speaker
Welcome to The Be More Happy Show. I'm your host, Maurice Chasson, confidence coach for Bold Introverts. I help introverts overcome fear and maximize the performance that they can excel and extroverted careers feeling good about themselves.
00:01:07
Speaker
So today I have my great hosts, Pam Rivett, and she's actually starting her own little business right now. And she's in the midst of launching her business. So, so today we're going to talk about her business and help to promote her business in a sense. And we're probably going to talk a little bit about her little struggles and challenges and what she's overcome through this journey that she, she's embarked on. So.
Empowering Busy Moms
00:01:33
Speaker
Pam, can you just introduce yourself and kind of tell the audience like what got you into MBS and where are you heading with that? Yeah. Hey Mo, thanks for having me. I appreciate you asking me to come on the show. Um, so I'm Pam Rivett. I am the founder of MBS Fitco, which is a fitness company that is for us busy moms.
00:02:00
Speaker
So my first product is going to be a line of active wear for many reasons, but to just kind of, I guess, let me go back. MBS stands for my best self.
00:02:12
Speaker
So it is my best self fit company. I love that. And the idea behind that, but I love that. Yes. My best self. So you can see it. Yeah. Um, and one of, one of my slogans cause I have a couple, um, is beyond the Kate. And that is because I feel that every mom is the epitome of superwoman, but
00:02:39
Speaker
beyond being superwoman mom or super mom or super wife or, um, you know, working on your, you know, the superwoman behind your career that there's a woman beyond that Cape that needs to have that love and attention as well. So that is my best self. It is finding your best self beyond the Cape, beyond the superwoman Cape and just having moms take care of themselves.
00:03:08
Speaker
And whether that's through fitness or spiritual development or personal development or having self care days, mayonnaise, petties, getting your hair done, all of those things. So going into my company and the first product that I'm bringing is Activewear.
Activewear and Self-Discovery
00:03:25
Speaker
And that is because of many reasons, because for me personally, Activewear was the foundation for me going many, many years back when I was in a
00:03:36
Speaker
really bad place in my life where I felt like I had lost myself. I didn't know who I was outside of mom and you know, mortgage advisor. I didn't know what I wanted in my life. I didn't know anything. And so for me, it started with fitness, but before you can have fitness, you need active wear. So that was where it started for me. Honestly, it was getting that active wear and just putting it on and going. And now fast forward, you know,
00:04:05
Speaker
15 or so years in that for me. Activewear is, it's more of a versatile piece, right? Because as a busy mom,
00:04:14
Speaker
we need something that we can just throw on in the morning and it is going to be the same thing that we're gonna work out in and the same thing that we're gonna do our grocery shopping in and the same thing that we're gonna come home and have to do chores in or housework or run the kids around all over the freaking earth. So it's having those pieces that you can feel confident in.
00:04:37
Speaker
Um, you know, feel good in your own skin, no matter what you're doing. So it's the versatility as well. And yeah, so that's kind of where, and where it's at right now. And we'll have other things that'll come out later, but that's, that's the gist of it. I love that. Cause I think like.
00:04:58
Speaker
I don't know about guys, me personally, I don't dress up for gym and stuff like that, but I see plenty women, you could tell that they put a lot of thought into their outfits, you know what I mean? Because their shit looks like, hey, she's dressed for the event, basically, you know what I mean? And I'm sure that by having the right clothes, the active wear, you just feel
00:05:25
Speaker
better about yourself in a sense, you know, and I like, I love this, Pam. This is awesome. I think you really can't tell me even as a guy, you can't tell me that even as a guy that when you put on like, let's just say you go in your, your closet, I'm going to the gym and you just whatever I throw on whatever I gotta go. I'm running late.
00:05:45
Speaker
you know, but when you put on something that you like, man, I feel good in this, that your workout's not better. Or that your day isn't better. And it's, and you can take that to another level and say, it's just with anything that you put on, right? Anything that you put on. If you put on something and you feel good in what you put on and you feel good and you look good,
00:06:03
Speaker
Everything about your day is going to be better. Your attitude is going to be better. The way that you talk to people is going to be better. Your workout is going to be better. The way that you handle your kids is everything is better when you feel good about yourself. And again, and going back to when it comes to busy moms, it's just that we're all over the place. We're at home taking care of the house. We're running kids around. We're going to the gym. We're going to work. We're going to the grocery store. So there's all these different places and it's hard to
00:06:32
Speaker
You know, have one set of clothes that's meant to be worked out in, but then you're like, okay, well I can go to the gym in this, but I don't know if I want to go to the grocery store in this or go pick up my kids from school in this. So it's nice to have those pieces that can be versatile and can go with you anywhere or just having the variety of, because at the end of the day, workout clothes are comfortable and it is something that can be dressed up or dressed down. You can put on a pair of workout leggings, gym leggings, and then throw on a
00:07:02
Speaker
a jacket or a sweater or whatever, put on some boots and then whenever you get to the gym, take them off, put your tennis shoes on. It's having those pieces that are multifunctional. That's important. That's awesome.
Inspiration and Inner Hero
00:07:16
Speaker
What is the main goal with your whole brand and is it more to help women to feel confident about themselves or what is it exactly?
00:07:27
Speaker
Yeah. So I'm also starting a podcast as well. So, and the podcast will be finding my best self. And that is part of the brand. It is going to be part of MBS Fitco. And yes, because at the end of the day is I want to inspire women to
00:07:50
Speaker
be their best self and to find that hero within that, that is that, you know, that they may be bearing or just may have lost or they're just not taking the time to nurture because they are so busy pouring into everyone else but themselves. So it's just, you know, cause Mo, like I said earlier, there was a time in my life when I was very, very lost. Um,
00:08:20
Speaker
And it took me years, many years to find
00:08:25
Speaker
you know, who I am today. Um, and even though I feel that I have at this point today, gotten to the, my best self and my best version, um, I'm also still working to grow because I also feel that no one's perfect and you're never going to be perfect. And there's always room and opportunity for growth. So even through all of this, um, this new journey that I'm on in this next chapter of my life, you know, I always look forward to what's to come. Um,
00:08:54
Speaker
we were talking the other day and I text you and I told you, I was like, you know, Mo, I was like, is the look back? That is the best part. What? You know, how much growth, when the growth Mo is the, that's the best part. And I want every mom to be able to experience that they, you know, and even if those, there are the moms that are already there there, cause there are so many that are already there, but they also understand too.
00:09:23
Speaker
that there's still more to come. There's so much more to come. You know, I was the other day, something hit me that I was like, I have to talk to him about this on the podcast, because I think it's like it.
Reflecting on Personal Growth
00:09:34
Speaker
And I don't know where this came from. You know, that quote that says, don't look in the rearview mirror, because that's not where you're going. Yeah, I was like, man, no, like, that's so wrong. Why would you not want to look back?
00:09:52
Speaker
Because Mo for me, in all honesty, I have so many pictures of myself or things that I've written in my journal that I go back and look at because the look back is what reminds me of just that. That isn't where I'm going, but it's good to look back sometimes and remember
00:10:19
Speaker
where you were and how far you've come, especially on those days when you're down and out the days when you're like kicking yourself in the butt, like I could be doing better or I should be doing this. Yeah. But look how far you came. Take that look back, like look in that rear view mirror. Like you see where you are. You see what you are doing or where you, you know, and look at where you are now. Like so I was, I was like, man, that quote's kind of not right. That's kind of screwed up because it is a good thing to look back. Um, I mean, don't, don't look back.
00:10:49
Speaker
you know, to say I'm going there, you look back to say, look how far I've come. Yeah, it's true. It's, it's, it's incredible to look back. I feel like even like you just said, to remind yourself basically like, for me, like I look back at transformation pictures of my weight loss.
00:11:08
Speaker
to where I'm at now and like looking at that like, dang, like I came a long way, you know, and that's how you appreciate the journey of where you're at now compared to where you were. And yeah, and not just your physical mo, not just your physical, right? Right. Because I mean, I know, I mean, I've known you for quite a while. And I mean,
00:11:27
Speaker
I mean, I didn't know that Mo, but I mean, even still just how we, we talked about that. I'm like, man, Mo, if you would have told me when you and I met through real estate, just a few years ago that we'd be sitting here talking about these things, like I would have never been like, yeah. That's so true. Even just saying, Pam, we're going to be recording podcasts in three years together. We should think about that.
00:11:53
Speaker
Like, what the fuck? No way, Mo. Yeah. Like, you know, okay. Yeah. That's so wild. Yeah. Like, just takes you unexpected places that like, you know, holy shit. Like how do I end up here? And I don't know. It's amazing. Yeah. Even just, um, I don't know who it was. Somebody, was it you or Taylor posted something on Facebook, um, about,
00:12:23
Speaker
look at where, how far we've come just in this last year. I think it was Taylor and then you commented or would either way regardless. Um, and I, when I read that, I was like, that's so true because just earlier this week when I started on this new
00:12:41
Speaker
journey of manifestation during anyway. Um, I went back in my journal and I read, cause I started a brand new, I started a brand new journal at the beginning of every year, even if I still have pages left in a previous journal, I started, I like to have a book for the year. Yeah, that's good. And so at the very beginning of every year, part of what I do is I write a letter to myself. Right. And I just write a letter to myself about in, in first, or how you call it first person or third person, whatever I'm talking, where I am talking to Pam.
00:13:12
Speaker
And I write that letter to myself just telling myself like how I feel about myself, me from the outside looking in and you know, who I see Pam as a person and what I see, you know, for her and where she's going and things like that.
00:13:29
Speaker
Um, and then on the next page, I write my own personal, this is how I feel in my head and in my heart, where I'm at, where I'm going. And Mo, like that is so true because like, if I would read to you where I was in January 1st of this year. To where I am right now is my 11 months later to the day, like mind blowing, mind blowing. Yeah.
00:13:56
Speaker
It's, you know, it's so much, it's so crazy because so much can happen in a year's time. So much can happen in a year's time.
00:14:03
Speaker
So we've talked about you working with a couple of coaches and stuff now. You think that working with some of those coaches like kind of really helped you to basically see things in a different way and a more positive way and just better understanding of yourself as well. And like just basically like because in my opinion, like working with coaches, I felt like my mindset shifted like
00:14:29
Speaker
10 levels within a year. You know what I'm saying? So I'm just wondering how that was with you. In all honesty, I didn't start any of the coaches until after I had already decided to move forward with starting my own company. That's when I decided to hire
00:14:47
Speaker
you know, a mentor and some coaches. Um, but for me before that, even like, like to help you with your business stuff and just mindset stuff, like trauma stuff that you've gone through, like grown up and counselors, but never business coaches. Oh, wow. That's crazy. That's awesome.
Managing Anxiety
00:15:05
Speaker
You always did have a good, powerful mindset though. I remember the first, our first couple of conversations. I was like, man, like this girl, she gets it, you know,
00:15:14
Speaker
Because Mo, I have, I used to struggle with anxiety. I shouldn't say I used to. I still do. Um, I have like severe anxiety, but when I, so when I was 18, I got married and my ex-husband was in the military at the time. So we moved away. And, um, when, when we came back.
00:15:37
Speaker
So that was in 2008 when we came back. So I was 18, 19, 20, I was 20 years old and I got my first like real job. And that was the first time I ever realized how bad my anxiety and my panic attacks were. Now granted at the time I was also diagnosed with postpartum depression, but those, that was the first time that I ever experienced like full blown panic attacks in my life. Like where, where I was driving and
00:16:06
Speaker
Oh, like I thought it was going to die. Like several times this happened to me over and over again to the point where I went to the doctor and I was like, I don't know what's going on. Is that crossing the bridge or just on a straightaway? Like I had to drive to I had to drive to Metairie for training every day in it. And I don't know what it was. Maybe it was just that every time I got in the cars with my brain, you know, your brain just kind of goes off and
00:16:27
Speaker
I would start thinking about things and then I'd go into these full blown panic attacks in the car where I was hyperventilating, sweating. I felt like I couldn't breathe. Like I'm like, it was bad anyway. So I lived on antidepressants and like anxiety medications for years and years and years. And so when I got pregnant from my last little girl for Jillian,
00:16:48
Speaker
And so she's about to be eight. So this was, you know, eight years ago, I had to get off of the medicine cause I was pregnant. And I just told myself that was Jillian was like in Y Mo at that point in my life, you know, cause I'm 30, I'll be 36. I'm 36 now. And that was eight years ago. So I was 28.
00:17:09
Speaker
And so why at that point in my life, I just had this mental switch that kicked on and that was, I was at the heaviest I had ever been in my life before I got pregnant. Um, I was the heaviest I'd ever been. Um, and I was super depressed and you know, on all the anxiety medication. And so when I got pregnant for Jillian, I told myself at that time pregnant for her, like when I have her, like I will never be back on that medication.
00:17:38
Speaker
I am going to lose all of this weight and I'm going to keep it off. And, and I did like that was my thing. Um, good job. And ever since then Mo, I've learned going back to what you said, I know like went off on a tangent going back to what you said, the, what I learned with my anxiety and my panic attacks was how to control them.
00:18:02
Speaker
And how to, when I would feel myself getting anxious, when I feel my chest starting to tight, you know, tighten or when I, you know, feel myself, my hands would get clammy and I've, you know, my heart rate starts changing. Like I've learned how to talk myself through and down and out of that because at the end of the day, that's what anxiety and panic attacks are. It is you letting your thoughts creep in, you know, the lemon leaves or the negative thoughts or the bad things creep in. And then, and then you just.
00:18:33
Speaker
it just, you know, goes from there. So, so I've learned and with that, if for me, Mo, I have to know why.
Understanding the 'Why' in Personal Growth
00:18:43
Speaker
If I can find a why in anything, in any situation, whether it's a why am I having these thoughts or why did this bad thing happen or why did this? It's when I can, and I know you and I talk about that so much, um,
00:19:02
Speaker
And a lot of people tell me that it's like, you're really good. I'm really good at breaking things down. When people come to me and they say like, this is going on or this is going on. And it's, you know, but why do you think you said that? Why do you think you reacted that way? Like, what is at the core of it when you break it all down? Like, what made you say that? What made you react that way? Why did this happen in your life? Because what is going to come from it?
00:19:30
Speaker
any and everything that I can break down, I'm going to break it down. Because that is how I cope. It's how I deal. It's how I move forward. And it's how I grow. And that's that's just where it's at for me is I have to mentally understand the why.
00:19:52
Speaker
You know, and whether in it, whether that's really what it is or if it's just for me, like I have to figure out a reason for me to be, to be okay with in my heart and my mind. So I can just move forward with things. You know, Pam, I think I've worked with a couple of coaches and that was kind of like their method of.
00:20:12
Speaker
helping me to understand more about myself was the why, asking why, like five times, basically. And I listened to Dean Graciosi, and that's pretty much what he says, too. Just ask yourself why five times. And by digging deep like that, you start to get the answer that you need. And it's an incredible way to discover things about yourself and why you respond to things and how you feel. I love it. I think that's the best way, truly.
00:20:43
Speaker
There's something that's called Y work. I don't know if you ever heard of that, but it's actually something that I'm planning to do. It's very perfect, very, very personal, but I'm going to do it and I'm going to share it. I've already committed to that, so I guess I could say it, but it's called Y work and it's getting down to the core of your Y.
00:21:05
Speaker
Um, and so that's basically what it is. It's, it's, you know, you can do it with a friend or a counselor, whoever, but it's having that person there to say, you know, what is your goal or what do you want? And then you respond. And then they say, why?
00:21:19
Speaker
Why do you want that? What do you want and why? And because when you continue to ask yourself that, because at the surface, it's when someone says, what do you want and why it's going to be super surface level. Yeah, absolutely. Your initial answer is going to be super surface level. And then when you get that first, why you want something. Okay. But why? And it's in you getting all the way down.
00:21:45
Speaker
So what that very, very bought with that core thing is, and that's where it's at. Yeah, that's where the answer lies.
00:21:57
Speaker
So earlier you mentioned something about journaling, like you start a new journal every year. And I've talked to plenty of people that doesn't know how to journal. So as far as journaling, what kind of advice would you give to people to help them to be able to start that journaling? Because me personally, I fully believe in journaling and letting it out on paper because I feel like once it's out of here,
00:22:22
Speaker
And on paper, it's, it's like
Journaling for Reflection
00:22:25
Speaker
a relief. And that's why I prefer to do it at nighttime because I feel like it's a detachment method for me of letting go of my experiences or anything that happened in that day, you know? So, but for you, like how do you, how do you journal? Well, you know, it's so funny because when I first started journaling probably about
00:22:48
Speaker
two years ago now, maybe a little bit longer. Um, when that was first brought up to me, like you should journal. I'm like, that's weird. Dear diary, you know, like what is that? Like, you know, that's what kids do. Um, it was just super weird for me, um, to say journaling or even meditating and all of those terms were super weird for me. Um,
00:23:11
Speaker
And so I went through that. So I get that I get when people say like, how or what, because I was there too, at one point when I was like, I don't even know what to do. I remember the first time I picked up a journal was like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna journal. I'm gonna do it. And I've like, put the pen to the paper and just sat there. Cause I'm like, I still, I was like, what do I say? What do I do? Like, what do I say? So I've actually tried several different methods. Um, and in all my honesty, I
00:23:41
Speaker
since I've done that, I kind of do a little something different every day. And that's really what has worked for me is, you know, I've tried to be very scripted, like every day, okay, you know, I'm going to write down three things I'm grateful for and three personal affirmations and, you know, three things that was good that happened today and three things that I plan for tomorrow or that are going to do better tomorrow. Like I, and I'm like, I'm going to write these same, I'm going to, this is my method every single day. Um,
00:24:11
Speaker
you know, and I didn't really care for that. It just felt super scripted to me. And I almost felt like some days I was just writing the same thing or just writing stuff just because, and it didn't really have any meaning, I guess. Um, I've tried just free flow, like what you said, just like whatever thoughts I have, I'm putting them down and just free flow. Um, I've done some guided stuff. So where it's more so, um,
00:24:38
Speaker
I guess kind of sort of like the, like a meditation kind of thing, but it's a guide that's saying, like, asking the questions. Um, you know, a lot of people use growth day, like Brendan, uh, Brendan Burchard's growth day app. And that has like prompts and stuff. And every day the prompts change of what you can write about. So I've tried that too. And I have basically come down to like, if you look at my journal, every day is different. Some days I have stuff that's bullet pointed. Um, some days I'm doing gratitude work.
00:25:06
Speaker
Um, some days maybe it's more so a lot of manifesting stuff. Some days it's more me, once again, writing those letters to myself, like giving myself that encouragement that I need on the days that I feel like I'm down and out. Um, and then there are some days where I literally will write four pages, five pages, because I just, I call it like brain dump. And I think that's the days when there's just so much on my mind and just like any, that any thought that crosses your mind throughout the day.
00:25:35
Speaker
Um, you know, the questions that you ask yourself during the day, it's like writing those out. And it's just right. Like, I don't know how to explain it. It's like literally having those, the same conversations that you have with yourself in your head every day, but putting it on paper and having that conversation with yourself.
00:25:56
Speaker
in writing and just writing it down. And I know that that sounds super weird to people who don't do it, but it is so therapeutic. Like I can't eat, like when, cause when you put it on paper, when you write it down, it's, it's like you, when you walk away, it's like, it's like, I put it, it's out, it's done. It's gone and I put it away and it's like that weights lifted off your chest and you can just move on.
00:26:25
Speaker
Yeah. I think I started whenever I would journal, I would always, I'm sorry, not whenever I first started, but like these days whenever I journal, I typically start with my interactions throughout the day and what I felt and
00:26:40
Speaker
how these other people affected me in a sense, you know what I mean, through my interactions. So I would journal about that. Then I would journal about my intellect. And I feel like whenever I journal, I feel like I'm kind of led by spirit or source, God, whatever you want to call it. So like, I feel like the answers that I need to certain things come to me through writing, you know, and it's those
00:27:05
Speaker
deepest thoughts and those deepest desires that like really hits you whenever you're writing, because sometimes there's some hard, cold truth that sometimes we don't want to hear, but we have to fucking face it, right? It's just part of it. And that's the part I love is getting those big aha type moments in journaling and writing, because I feel like that source is feeding me what I need to put down on that paper. So
00:27:35
Speaker
I love that man. I love that your journal and it's a big part of your life because I think more people should do truly. Cause it's just liberating and discovering yourself. You know, I feel, you know. Yeah. The self discovery part is, is big in that too, for me is this, the self discovery and just the therapeutic, the release, um, and
00:28:02
Speaker
You know, and I know some people don't get it and they don't understand and don't want to talk about it. But, you know, just in manifesting and putting your thoughts on paper. It just does something. Yeah. I listen to Bob Proctor. I'm sorry, which is about to say, I'm sorry. I was going to say, because you are your thoughts. Yeah, absolutely. You are your thoughts. Yeah. You know who Bob Proctor is by chance?
00:28:28
Speaker
I've never listened to him. I've heard of him many times, but I've never listened to him. He always talks about carrying a gold card with you. Basically, you write your goals down on the card and carry them with you and look at it and read them out loud.
00:28:44
Speaker
you know, 10, 15, 20 times a day as many times you could, you know, just saying affirmations aren't going to actually get you to what you want. Like you have to actually take action and do what you got to do to get to those goals. Right. So, and that's kind of like the stuff that he talks about. So I don't know a lot of people.
00:29:02
Speaker
He's dead now. He's like 90 something years old. He's been around since like the 60s and shit teaching mindset stuff. It's crazy because like all the people that I listen to now like Tony Robbins and all of them basically they all say the same shit, Pam. But it's just in their own way. It's kind of something I discovered recently. It's like dang.
00:29:25
Speaker
everybody says the same shit, basically, you know, it's just everybody shares their own personal way and other people perceive it, I guess, from certain people a certain type of way because of the way they delivered a message, you know, would you agree with that in a sense? Yeah, no, that is that is true. So the, the new
00:29:45
Speaker
What's it called? Now you can make me look it up. I'm sorry. I gotta just look to tell you because I just signed up for it. It's through Mindvalley. Oh nice. You know about Mindvalley. That's good. I just learned about it yesterday or the day before. I just signed up. So it's called The Art of Manifesting with Regan Hillyer. She's incredible.
00:30:11
Speaker
So you have to go listen to her podcast. Um, and the way that she explains that is in a totally different way. And the way that she explains manifesting is in a way that I've never heard it explained before. And I mean, she is captivating. She really is. So, um, I just joined into her program and it's a 27 day, um, manifesting and learning how to manifest and what she says, but you know,
00:30:39
Speaker
So I'm curious to see how that goes because, you know, I've always, I say I've always in the last two years since I'm going down like my really deep self discovery path, you know, in my spiritual development and personal development and listening to podcasts and reading, like I can't even tell you how many books I've read in the last two years or podcasts that I've listened to. Um, you know, just what's that? So you list a lot of podcasts.
00:31:06
Speaker
Oh God. I listen to, so I'm a podcast junkie. You can ask anybody and I talk about podcasts. I know everybody gets tired of hearing me talk about podcasts. I talk about them all the time. All the podcasts I listen to and I send episodes to everybody all like, you know, you have to send me some Rachel Hollis podcasts before the past. That's true.
00:31:27
Speaker
So she's where I started. Rachel Hollis is where I started on the podcast. Um, and I just had a conversation with a friend the other day. I was like, you know, I said, I don't really listen to Rachel all that much anymore, but it's because it's not that I don't love her because I love Rachel Hollis.
00:31:42
Speaker
Um, she, when I listened to her, I was at a different place in my life mentally, the things that Rachel talks about on her podcast is, you know, um, very much to help elevate and lift your spirits and to get you in that right mindset, you know, it's to help her mindset coach, right? It just helps to get you in the right mindset. And I was like, and now I listen to.
00:32:06
Speaker
different things, but it's just because my mindset has changed. Um, you know, and, and my goals and stuff, because there's podcasts for everything, Mo got those podcasts, anything and everything you want to hear. If you just want to listen to some comedy stuff, or you want to listen to sports stuff or news stuff, anything that you want to listen to, there's a podcast for it. So, I mean, you can go and search and find podcasts for everything. Um,
00:32:32
Speaker
So yeah, so, so yes, to answer your question, yes, I have my podcast library on Apple is very long.
00:32:40
Speaker
Yeah, it's wild. I think I need to listen to more podcasts. I think it'll probably make me a better podcast because I could see things that they do or don't do and I could add in whatever aligns with me best because I don't listen to
Podcast Listening Habits
00:32:55
Speaker
podcasts. I never really did listen to podcasts. I've listed like one or two little three, four episodes and that was it. But other than that, like I don't listen to podcasts. I still don't. I listen to articles.
00:33:06
Speaker
Uh, I recently got on YouTube and watched, uh, I watched a lot of YouTube videos now with, uh, Alex Hormozi. You know who Alex Hormozi is? Like he's my boyfriend right now. Like I've been crushing on that dude. Like.
00:33:18
Speaker
He's fucking incredible. Like the amount of value he delivers in like a 10, 15, 20 hour video. Like it's so much value. I love that guy. What you're laughing about. It's cause I got to like talk to him one-on-one. Really? No shit. How did that happen? Part of the capitalism group. He's part of my mentor. Oh, really? Yeah. So, and I actually, um, I just finished reading one of his books too. Which one?
00:33:47
Speaker
No, um lead magnet Yeah, that's the one That's that because I wanted to start off in order. Uh, although this is a hundred million dollar offer one That's okay. I just finished reading. Um, I just finished reading that one. So yeah, he's awesome Him and his wife. I love his wife lately. I added her podcast to my list as well
00:34:10
Speaker
So I do, I listen, I've listened to the Audible version. I don't have, I don't really read the books. I'm terrible with reading of shit. Mo, that's so surprising that you don't listen to podcasts and you started a podcast. I know, I know. Look, I had no intentions on ever even starting a podcast. It's just, it was just some weird shit that kind of happened and like I enjoyed it and now I truly love it. I like,
00:34:35
Speaker
I like it a lot and my main thing now like and I feel bad for this because it wasn't my initial intention but I've grown to know that
00:34:45
Speaker
like having other people share their stories kind of helps them to feel liberated and freeze them in a sense. So like I love that for people whenever they come on and share their story because it's something that they've been wanting to do but never had the chance to or never really had never felt like they had a good safe space to actually do it, you know. So that's what I love now and but I feel like
00:35:10
Speaker
I feel like I need to throw more episodes in of me helping through some mindset stuff. So I'll probably be working on that pretty soon. I'll probably change the whole structure of the podcast actually in the next couple months to where it's gonna be like a season thing towards, hey look, this season we're gonna be talking about limiting beliefs for like four weeks or six weeks and have guests that basically are knowledgeable on that and we kind of,
00:35:38
Speaker
spit it together. So that's in my mind right now. I hadn't actually pulled the trigger on doing it. I just have to.
00:35:48
Speaker
I don't know why it does that, I hate that static. But I just have to basically come up with a plan and start recording those types of episodes versus people sharing their stories. I just feel bad for those people that want to share their stories, but it's okay. It's more for the audience that wants, I think it's about the value. I think sometimes people
00:36:09
Speaker
We'll get tired of hearing other people's stories in the sense. Hey look change it up, you know, I constantly wanna I constantly want to be changing shit up and growing, you know, Mm-hmm. Absolutely You're not only changing don't say you're changing it all up you just pivot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah There's nothing wrong with that, you know in my opinion
00:36:34
Speaker
So Pam, like you starting your business, like I know eventually like it's like an entrepreneur journey in a sense because I know eventually you probably want to do your own thing and kind of be set up to where like your money is making money for you and you could
00:36:54
Speaker
You'll wake up in the morning and have an extra five, 10 grand, and you're checking out like dang, like overnight. Like I made money, you know, like that's the goal. That's kind of where our entrepreneurs want to be at. Right. But like, what are some of some of the challenges you face so far? And like, what have you done to overcome some of those challenges? Oh, I mean, for me, in all honesty, it's been
00:37:23
Speaker
Getting past And I don't even want to say that like that's hard for me to say, you know the limiting beliefs Um, and I and I say this because I do have those thoughts right that creep in Um of you know, what are you doing? You can't do this. Who do you think you are? You know?
00:37:43
Speaker
all of those thoughts, but for me in all honesty, I'm able to silence those really, really quickly just because I have a vision and I believe in it so wholeheartedly. There's so much trust and belief there that those thoughts are very,
00:38:09
Speaker
Um, I, I was just able to quiet them a whole lot.
Challenges in Activewear Sourcing
00:38:13
Speaker
Um, as far as the struggles that I've had, I did not realize how many companies there are out there manufacturers. Like I was like, yeah, I'm going to say I'm going to have a lot of active wear. Um, you know, probably it's going to take me like, I don't know, 500 companies. No Mo, like.
00:38:34
Speaker
30 plus 1000 manufacturers across the world. And it's it's getting narrow. How do you narrow that down from 30,000? You know, so that was that was the start of
00:38:49
Speaker
you know, just trying to figure out, you don't realize how many pieces of the puzzle. I am so grateful for this mentorship that I've paid into that these people that are helping me to understand the business because Mo, like I would be, I'm not gonna say I'd be lost because I did do a lot of Google searching and a lot of research before I decided to get into a mentor program, but they have
00:39:12
Speaker
helped me to understand so much and to walk me through or to just give me the tools that I need and say like these this is the programs that you need now go do it okay now you do this part go do it because if not like there it's so much and it's so overwhelming just
00:39:30
Speaker
figuring out all the pieces. But for me, this, I guess the most frustrating part has been working with these manufacturers and waiting. Because for what I feel like, I feel like it's been like, I feel like it's been a year that I've been waiting for, which I know it's only been a couple months since I've decided what companies I went into order from. But it's just, it's the waiting game. And I don't have patience.
00:39:55
Speaker
Not a lot of it. And so it's the waiting game that's hard. And, you know, I did get my first round of samples just saying, I'm going to do a video on this. Um, but I guess since we're doing this, maybe, maybe my video will come out before your podcast. I got my first order of samples in yesterday and I have some more coming in next week. Thank God. Because the ones I got yesterday were dope shit, like literally like.
00:40:21
Speaker
Mo, I could have gotten better quality stuff from Walmart, and I'm not exaggerating in the least bit. That's, that's why that people like very, very, very, very, very surprised. Because a my sourcing company picked this company out.
00:40:40
Speaker
B, they're in Pakistan, and Pakistan is known for really high quality active wear. Pakistan and India, and I don't know if people know that, but it's true that they're known for having really high quality active wear. It was really bad. I honestly have Walmart brand or Walmart
00:41:04
Speaker
active wear that's better quality than that. And that's not what I'm going for. I'm going for very high quality premium active wear and very, very specific things that I'm looking for.
00:41:16
Speaker
as well as a company that is going to be willing to let me design my own things because I have many ideas and things in my mind that I want someone to actually design for me. Um, so anyway, with that being said, that's also, which I, I mean, I opened them up and I'm like, well, that sucks. And then, you know, I'm just like, oh, well, like that's part of the process and it's okay. And I know that that's going to happen. So, I mean, I actually kind of got a good laugh out of some of them. I was like, really? Like where
00:41:48
Speaker
Yeah. So anyway, um, but yeah, that's, that's my biggest struggle is just the waiting game. That's my biggest, my biggest struggle was the waiting game because I've, but at the same time, well, I'm grateful. I really am because, you know, again, I'm gonna tell you like I have to know why. And I feel like this is for a reason. Like this is going this way for a reason because it is giving me so much more time to work on all of those background things.
00:42:17
Speaker
all of the systems and the processes and documenting my journey and getting people aware of what I'm doing before it's actually there, starting the podcast. Like I have all this time to get all of the systems in place. So that way when I do have my line ready to go, I'm not scrambling and stressing at that point. So I'm grateful.
00:42:43
Speaker
I'm grateful that it's taking time. I am. Because if it would have all moved really fast, I would be super overwhelmed. I'd probably be in tears every day, honestly, because what I'm doing is a lot. And if I had to frame that all into a really shorter period of time, I would be super stressed. So it's the journey. It's really not the destination, you know, because
00:43:04
Speaker
We learned so much through that journey that whenever we do get to the destination, well, I mean, there's really no destination truly because we're always going to be striving for something different, something better. I feel anyways, like there's no, it's kind of like the self-development journey. It's when you set a goal, you're saying that the journey too, like whenever, until you get to that goal and then you make another goal and then there's another journey. But yeah, I mean, you're right Mo, like the journey is where it's at.
00:43:32
Speaker
Yeah, that's where you learn that. That's where you grow. That's where you understand yourself. That's when those systems, you start learning how to use those systems, put them into place and make sure that they're efficient and benefiting you like it's supposed to.
Enjoying the Growth Journey
00:43:47
Speaker
Just like the funnels, right? I'm sure that was a big learning curve for you, right?
00:43:53
Speaker
Adjust and learning all how to use funnels then, you know, I don't know I still need to learn how to use funnels. I need to learn how to create funnels. You help me with that one day. Yes, absolutely. It's not as hard as you think actually It's not as hard as you think mo, you know where the biggest growth that is though, what's that is is being able to Enjoy the journey while you're in it
00:44:21
Speaker
And not just at the end, you know, cause again, the look back is always a lot easier. It's always a lot easier to look back on the hardship because you're on the other side of it, but it's being able to see the growth while you're in it and appreciate the growth while you're going through it and appreciate the shit while it's happening.
00:44:50
Speaker
And with the belief and the knowing that it's going to turn into a positive on the other side, that's where, that's where the, when you, when you can say like, I'm going through hell, but I'm so appreciative and grateful for it because I know on the other side, something so amazing and beautiful is going to come from it. That's where the real worth is.
00:45:17
Speaker
Yeah. When you, I can agree more. Yeah. When you can. Seriously. And that's what I'm really trying to do through this mode because I've always, like I'm always, I've always been that person that I like, I want the end game now. You know, I'm like, yeah, like again, I have zero patience. Like I want it now. And it's just like, and even like I've had like in my coaching call that I told you I had earlier today, he told me that he said, Pam,
00:45:45
Speaker
He said, do you understand that you are trying to launch a company that's eight months old? He's like, launch your baby. He was like, and then watch your baby grow. He was like, he said, stop trying to, you know, do it all at one time.
00:46:02
Speaker
He's like, you have, he's like, Pam, your vision. He's like, and everything that you want to do with this company is so amazing. And he's like, and it's going to be, and it's going to be this big, beautiful thing. He was like, but you can't, you can't start it that way. He was like, you have to start it here. He was like, and watch it grow and enjoy the journey. And I'm like, you were just picking up, you know, like everything that I tell to other people, you just told it to me because I need to be told myself.
00:46:28
Speaker
You know, yeah, that's the true. I'm really trying to end it because I am. I'm really trying to just enjoy this journey as it's happening because it's, you know, and not just when I'm on the other side and for me to look back and be like, man, like that was cool. You know, like I'm trying to enjoy even though some of it's not so fun.
00:46:53
Speaker
So in what ways has like technology helped you with your business? You find as far as automation and just, um, connecting with the right people, networking and all that good stuff. Oh God. In so many ways. First of all, I would start by saying this AI stuff is out of this world.
AI's Impact on Business Operations
00:47:14
Speaker
Like, and I know that I've only, I'm only surface level with it right now, but the AI is
00:47:23
Speaker
insane like it's all it's it's so like it's scary in a sense oh goodness yes it is the stuff that it comes out with um but anyway so that's cool um having or being able to hire people and see their work like we were talking earlier like fiverr and upwork if you ever need to hire someone to do anything like any kind of work for you
00:47:51
Speaker
to just be able to go online and find someone from all over the world. These people are on there and they do amazing work for really cheap. Like I would, I never knew about any of that stuff. Like I could have used that so many times over the last, you know, 17 years of my life. If there, if I would have, you know, known that anything like that even existed and I don't know how old those are. Um, so there's that.
00:48:17
Speaker
And then in all honesty, just social media and being able to reach out to people,
Engaging with Mom Groups
00:48:24
Speaker
the groups that I've posted in and the feedback that I've been able to get, just whether it's from my personal page or groups and stuff for what I need to be able to see, you know, to see what people want and what they're looking for.
00:48:39
Speaker
That's awesome. So you've joined like groups, like women groups for like clothing stuff. And that's very smart, man. That's very smart. Yeah. Well, I got into a couple of fitness groups, but I didn't really want to get too much into fitness groups. I got into a lot of mom groups.
00:48:58
Speaker
Um, whether it was, um, a lot of different mom groups, cause that's what I wanted to hear from because again, like I can tell you like Mo a lot of people, moms, there are a lot of women that wear active wear and they don't work out. And so that's just where it's at. I mean, as much as I love and want to encourage people, not necessarily to work out, but at least move their body in some way, shape or form, even if it's just going for a walk, you know, I'm not saying that you need to go to the gym and get all ripped up and.
00:49:28
Speaker
you know, unless that's what you want to do, then that's great. But for me, it's just, it's the movement. It's just, you know, moving your body and not even necessarily for weight loss, but exercises, it's mental. God, if I could like, I like want to beat that in, if I could beat that into people's head, like working out is so far beyond physical. It is so it is, it is more mental than it is physical. And if people could understand that, like, man,
00:49:59
Speaker
the mental work that is done just for moving your body every day. But anyway, um, so yeah, so I use the groups to be able to get in contact with those people to just say, you know, what is it that you're missing? Where are the other companies lacking? Because that is what I'm here for is that I know it's not perfect out there. Um, and I know that there's a lot missing or there's some things that could be done better.
00:50:27
Speaker
And that's what I'm all about is all of the things that weren't there and to just, you know, or that could be made better. So what's something in your brand, your, your clothing line, that's actually going to be better than most, most brands that you could, if you're open to share that. Um, so a couple of things that I've, I've heard, um, and not necessarily that I know that I'm going to have them, but I will say what I've heard.
00:50:56
Speaker
Um, is that for women, um, it's the sports bras where the padding is non-removable, which is a huge thing. Um, cause I know for me personally, that's a huge.
00:51:08
Speaker
pain. That's one of the things that bothers me the most, you know, cause we take our sports bras and we wash them and then those little pad things come out in the washer. They get all folded and scrunched up in there and to get them back in place and a little bitty hole that they put in them on is, it's yeah, with women first world problems. It's not so it's the, you know, having the padding sewn in and then
00:51:33
Speaker
Um, some of the other things that I heard, which is very eye opening. This has been a very eye opening process for me, Mo, because everybody's different in what they like or what they want in an active wear too. So for me, I work out solely from home. So I couldn't care. I could care less about pockets. Actually for me, if there are pockets on leggings, I will not buy them because I'm so used to wearing leggings without pockets because I don't need them. When I do put them on, it bothers me.
00:52:03
Speaker
Um, to have that extra material, I guess, but I've learned that for women who go to the gym or run that they need the pocket to put their phone in. So I get it. Right. Um, so I am so naive to pockets, right? So then I start having people tell me that it's not just about having pockets. It's the placement of the pockets. They were like, because if the pocket is too low or too high.
00:52:29
Speaker
when they go to get on the, is it the abductor or adductor or whatever machine and you put your legs in it, that the pockets sometimes where they are on the pants, that your phone is right there. So like then I got to take my phone out of my pocket and then it's totally pointless to even have the pocket because I tried to take it out. And I'm like, see, like I would have never thought about that. You know, so that's apparently an issue is that some of these people put the
00:52:54
Speaker
pockets way too low and it's causes issues when they're working out. Um, I'm sure why you, why you'd be running too. Like if you got to, if you actually got to stop and you know, come down a little bit to get your phone or whatever out your pocket, you know, it's an inconvenient, you know, so yeah, it's all about making it convenient. You know, I'm sorry, go ahead. No, no, no, you're good. Um, I've heard about the,
00:53:23
Speaker
Um, the tank tops on women that, you know, women, a lot of women are very self-conscious about, you know, just the, you know, the little or pit, whatever right here. And a lot of these, um, these shirts are cut.
00:53:36
Speaker
I don't want to say it a men's cut because you know how men's shirts are cut like they come far in. So a lot of the women shirts are, they need to be further out. Um, just a little bit more coverage in that area. So I've heard a lot about that. Obviously I've heard about the seams ripping, um, just ripped, just bad seams. Um, we have a lot of issues as ladies as
00:53:59
Speaker
with the, the leggings and they roll down. Um, so those Mo are all the things that I'm looking for. So when I say that I am shopping for premium active wear, um, I'm talking about quality. So the quality first and foremost is really, really big for me. Um, because I have, again, I've been working out since like 2006.
00:54:25
Speaker
Yeah, 2006. So the amount of active wear that I've bought in my life is probably sickening and I've tried, I couldn't even tell you how many different companies and so I mean, I've, I know active wear, right? I mean, I know the ins and outs, you know, the materials and I've done going into this, I've done a lot of research. I have researched all the companies.
00:54:47
Speaker
all of them. You can't tell me a name. I have not pulled up and researched what their clothes is, read their reviews, and I know what's good and what's not. I've been through all of Amazon. I've done my research on the materials and the quality and what
00:55:04
Speaker
You know, what makes certain things like, you know, what exactly is, makes it sweat waking and what exactly why are some see-through and some, or which ones are itchy, which ones aren't, which ones make it buttery soft and which ones make them super, you know, cause there's, I've done it all, I've looked at it all, right? So the quality, the quality has to be there. Um, and then my next thing is, like I said, is to solve the issues.
00:55:32
Speaker
that are, you know, is to fix the issues that are there, which is why I said a manufacturer who's gonna, who's gonna have a designer on hand that I can work with to custom make my pieces is really what I'm looking for, because I may come out with something initially that the manufacturer already has for me.
00:55:53
Speaker
But I want to custom design my pieces and which is why getting this feedback is really important To make sure that you know, I can try to fix those problems while still having good quality and Versatility at the same time because that's also really important. Like I told like I said earlier having those pieces that can be worn Anyways, yeah Yeah, that's awesome Pam my best self

Don't just wear it, live it. All right, now let's dive back into this episode. So what do you think is a way to help women to actually become their best self? Like, what would you kind of advice would you give for women for that? I mean, it's hard to give advice, but
00:57:34
Speaker
What would you say that could actually help women be there, be, become their best self, basically? Yeah. So, I mean, first and foremost, you have to want it. Right. And that's where it starts is, you know, like I said, for myself as well as there just came a point when I was like, this is, this is what I want.
00:57:54
Speaker
and I'm ready and I'm gonna do it. It's just deciding.
Fitness and Well-being
00:57:58
Speaker
You have to decide, this is what I wanna do and I'm going to do it. And again, I will say it over and over and over again, because I truly, you know, because there's so many different parts. There's fitness,
00:58:12
Speaker
there's spiritual development, there's personal development, and then there's what I, what I call the self care part, which is, you know, just the treat, treat yourself kind of stuff, you know? Um, I truly wholeheartedly believe that it starts with movement and fitness in some way, shape, or form. And the reason I say that is because it is not just physical.
00:58:41
Speaker
It's mental, it's emotional. It is everything that will put you in the right mindset to want to do the deeper development, to read the books, to listen to the podcast, you know, to meditate to, it is what is going to spark the curiosity or the interest or the desire to do that deeper, that didn't work. Um, when you look good and you feel good,
00:59:12
Speaker
that makes you want to do even better. Like the fitness piece is it has to be there. And like I said, it's not about going to the gym and working out for an hour a day or, you know, losing a bunch of weight or getting super ripped up. It's not necessarily about that. It's just about moving your body. So if you can even just commit to, you know, I want to better myself, I want to get on the path to start working towards my best self, then just dedicate
00:59:41
Speaker
commit to doing some sort of movement for 30 minutes a day. You know, Pam, I couldn't agree more because in my journey of working out and discovering myself and learning more about myself, it all goes back to the gym because whereas I never thought I could ever be a car salesman, I never thought I could be a realtor. Like I never thought I was good enough or smart enough to ever do that. But going to the gym and doing those hard workouts and
01:00:11
Speaker
And doing what I thought that I couldn't do in the gym helped me to build that confidence to actually go out and do things that I thought I couldn't do before as well, too. So I get that gym and the activeness is one of the biggest parts. And I wholeheartedly believe in that. Especially, I don't know, because I remember times at the gym where I was doing the sets of 30 on my squats.
01:00:36
Speaker
And by the 10th to 12th squat, I was like, there's no fucking way I'm gonna get to 30 today, no way. But I made it, and then I'm like, fuck, yeah, I did that shit, you know? And it's the same thing with accomplishing little goals that you set for yourself, you know? So that's awesome, I love that, pal.
01:00:54
Speaker
Yeah, but it's, it's because it's hard, Mo. And that's the thing is that's where like you have to commit to doing hard things. And if you can't commit to doing hard things, then you'll never, you have correct. You have to commit to doing hard things. You have to commit to being uncomfortable because Mo, everything that is good in life. Yeah. Yeah.
01:01:20
Speaker
I'm serious, right? Working out is good for you. It's fricking hard because Mo I can tell you 80% of the time I don't want to do it. Like I can, I can honestly tell you that 80% of the time I'm like, I had to work out and I don't want to do it. Like I have to tell myself and push myself 80% of the time to go work out. I really do. Like people think that it's just like, Oh, you just know,
01:01:51
Speaker
I don't, like the first 10 minutes of my workout sucks. Every day I'm like, I have in my head, I'm like, I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. And then just like, you just keep doing it. And then I'm like, I'm in it and I'm like, feel good, you know? And then you finish and you're like, I'm so glad I did that. Like I would have, you know, I would have been so bummed out and kicking myself in the butt if I wouldn't have done that. So working out is hard, but it's great for you, you know?
01:02:18
Speaker
Starting a business is hard, but it's great. You know, having a baby is hard, but then look what you get from it. It's greatness. So everything that you choose to do, everything that's great in life is hard. So you have to commit to doing hard things and you can do hard things. Everyone can do hard things. You just have to commit to it. You know, it's so crazy because even something simple as journaling could be hard.
01:02:47
Speaker
because yeah, because you're not used to doing it. So whenever you actually start, you're like, I'm not going to do it today. I'm going to skip, you know, but like that discipline to be like, you know what, I'm just going to do it anyways. And you do it just like you said, with working out, you know, 80% of the time you don't want to do it, but you force yourself to do it because you know how good you feel afterwards, you know? And it's just that discipline to actually go and be okay with being uncomfortable, you know?
01:03:17
Speaker
Mm-hmm. You know, it's not hard. Hmm. Doing the things that aren't great for you. Yeah. It's so true. Because it's not hard to go out and party with your friends and drink. Right. That's not hard. Right. Right. Guess what happens after. Feel like you should watch yourself usually. Yeah. Don't feel good. You hung over. Like that's not great. Mm-hmm.
01:03:45
Speaker
It's true. Just think about it. I want you to think about it the next time you, any, just anything, but just trying to think about it like that, that the hard things are what's better for you than the easy things. So if you have an option, if there's a choice in life that you have to make, I can 100% guarantee you that the harder choice is the one you need to make.
Embracing Hard Choices
01:04:10
Speaker
It kind of goes back to thinking in a sense because what they say 95% of people don't think, 3% of people think they think and only 2% of people actually think. And I feel like it's that same thing because people don't like to think, so they don't think. And it's a choice truly. It kind of goes back to journaling too because
01:04:36
Speaker
whenever you're drowning, like those thoughts hit, hit you. And sometimes it's uncomfortable to, to face those harsh realities, you know, and I dunno, it's just, it's just hard. Sometimes then people don't like hard, you know, unfortunately. And there's that stupid, that stupid comfort zone, you know, that you can't grow in that, you know? No, not at all. Mm-hmm.
01:05:04
Speaker
So Pam, where can, uh, where can the guests find you at, Pam? Where can they, uh, see some of this clothing stuff? Yeah. So everything, so I don't have any, anything yet. So right now it's just, uh, we just have our launch list. Um, but we can be followed on Facebook, Instagram, and Tik TOK. Everything is just MBS fit Co. And I'll just, you know, follow us. They're all on the same thing. So you can find it that way.
01:05:31
Speaker
And then we also have our VIP list that they can join. The easiest way is just to go directly to my website, which is mbsfit.co. Not .com, so it's mbsfit.co. And there's a link on there that says join the VIP list or VIP list. And they can get on the VIP list there, which when I get ready for launch, the VIP list will be the first to know probably at least a week ahead of time
01:06:00
Speaker
that launch is coming and they will also receive exclusive discounts and get to see or view, you know, what'll be launched before I actually blast anything on social media. And I will probably, not probably, I will open up my pre-launch because I am going to pre-launch as well.
01:06:21
Speaker
And what pre-launch means for people who don't know is just that I'm going to give access to be able to purchase the items before they're actually in stock. Once I have the actual items picked out and all that good stuff, just be able to get it ordered just with a little bit of a delayed shipping time. But that way they have first come, first serve on it, get first dibs on it. So they will have access to pre-launch through the VIP list a week or two.
01:06:49
Speaker
It depends on what I'm going to do, but they will get it before the rest of social media gets access to. So to make sure, because I will be ordering my first order is going to be a limited quantity. So being on the VIP list will be important to be able to have access before I release it. So that's nice. That's MBS fit.co. And then like I said, on all socials as well. And then I'll have the podcast links on there too. So you can join the podcast. That's awesome.
01:07:19
Speaker
So, um, your podcast, how long before that's going to be out to the public and people are going to better tune in and listen to you. You're going to hold me to it, Mo. You're going to make me say my commitment out loud to put my feet to fire. I have committed to December 14th, December 14th. Yes. So I will actually be starting my pre-launch post tomorrow. Cause I'm going to do some pre-launch posts for about two weeks.
01:07:48
Speaker
I already have two of my Interviews lined up one for tomorrow and one for Monday and between tomorrow and Monday. I'll probably record four or five solos. So I Told you I'm in it. I'm ready. I'm so pumped So between today and Monday you said you're gonna record four or five solos Is that what you said?
01:08:10
Speaker
Yeah. I don't have my kids this week and my husband's working all weekend. So I'll be working. I have, what else I'm gonna do at my time. I'm gonna record some podcasts. And look, to record a podcast, it literally doesn't take long. You know, as long as you got a little structure and what you want to talk about, you just, it's gonna take an hour. Do you?
01:08:35
Speaker
I feel like I'm talking. I really do. My husband makes fun of me. He's like, you just like talking to yourself. That's good. I came across a memory yesterday, um, Facebook memory. And it was one of my old videos from like two years ago. And it was, I could just see how nervous and uncomfortable I was doing that video. So, and just seeing the growth to where I'm at now, cause like I could put on the camera and just
01:09:05
Speaker
You know, even though I don't do it enough. Um, I feel like I need to get on there and just. Talk and, and I could do that, but I feel sometimes I feel like who the fuck cares what you got to say more. Just shut the fuck up. You know what I'm saying? And I think that comes from negative thoughts and limiting beliefs. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Cause deep inside, I truly know that somebody needs to hear that message. You know, it doesn't, you know, who's listening.
01:09:36
Speaker
the ones you don't know are listening, the ones you don't think are listening, the ones that don't tell you that they're listening. That's the ones that's listening.
