Introduction to Awakened Bake
00:00:02
Speaker
Welcome to Awakened Bake, an educational, high vibrational, spiritual, mystical, hot, I'm sorry, podcast from two girls, one joint in a journey to awaken what's inside all of us. In the words of the wise Miss Khalifa, let's roll something and get the day started. All right, you guys. What's up. Good morning.
Exploring Fresh Starts
00:00:22
Speaker
Alright, so today you guys Kelsey came up with today's episode is all about fresh starts or starting over whether or not it's voluntary or involuntary, we're going to get into it and I'm going to just have Kelsey kind of take it away because this was her idea and she has some really good personal insights to give y'all. Okay, so basically this whole idea came to me because I was sitting on
00:00:45
Speaker
my rooftop next to the pool in my bikini, dancing around to Lizzo, surrounded by like, I don't know, all these hot people, like, my apartment building is like, I don't know, young California people, it's a bunch of hot people. And I had this like sudden moment of like, who the fuck am I doing this? Like, what is going on?
The Positive Side of Quitting
00:01:05
Speaker
And then it just like the clearest download that like, I if I hadn't left
00:01:11
Speaker
where I was I never would get to be the person that I am now and like I think that there's a lot of we kind of put a lot of like negative energy or negative like connotation around the idea of leaving where you're from and like we make it seem like you're running away or like even like leaving jobs leaving a lot of things like anytime that we quit something we feel like I feel like it's got like quitting has such a bad rep
00:01:34
Speaker
and it's not necessarily bad to quit something if that something's not serving you and no one else knows if something's serving you but you like that's just at the end of the day the truth i totally agree bitch and like i feel like there's like that saying um make the best of your situation
00:01:53
Speaker
And while that's a little bit right, I also think it's a little bit wrong. I think it's a little bit right when you're in the moments of your life where, which there are the moments where you can't have, you don't have the option or opportunity to do something new or take this leap of faith, you know, whether it's like to find something financial holding you back or living, you know, like sometimes I, like there are moments that it's impossible.
Understanding Suffering and Growth
00:02:16
Speaker
But as soon as that moment's available, I think it's so important to yourself to like your true, honest self to do that. I think it allows you to live a clear, like full life, true, like, again, as true to yourself as you can be. An example of this is my parents. My parents have a beautiful life. They are very happy. They have great children, but they still
00:02:39
Speaker
have suffering in their life. And I use suffering like the way like the Buddhist description of suffering, which is not like that you're starving or like, like physical pain, but it's like the suffering of the mind. So it's allowing stresses and emotions that you don't need to allow to control your life, control your life. My mother's a perfect example of that. And again, I've said this before here, I can talk about this because she doesn't like
00:03:03
Speaker
listen or acknowledge a waking bake, which just shows like how wounded she is. And I'm not saying that from a place of like, oh, I'm perfect or anything like that. But like, I can look and see from my life choices, that my decision to leave where I'm from and to take these risks
00:03:18
Speaker
is something that's allowed me to be the person that I am and to have the power that
Intuition and Mindset in Growth
00:03:22
Speaker
I have now. And I think that's what terrifies them is like, my parents, whenever I've made these decisions, they really like, it's like rattled them. Like I've made a lot of like very quick rash decisions and they've always felt like, oh my God, like you're just so impulsive. And while it's like, there's a bit of it being impulsivity, like a lot of it is also just really trusting and knowing like my intuition, knowing my exact like guided, like really having a strong connection knowing
00:03:48
Speaker
Yeah okay I kind of wanted to jump into and say like that's kind of the difference how you said it's your intuition. It's your intuition and it's also like knowing that we tell you guys this all the time like you are going to be okay you are going to be divinely guided and taken care of and when you live in a scarcity mindset or a mindset of like I love your parents Kelsey but it like that's a great example of people who do live in a scarcity mindset. Like I would not say that your mom is someone who like lives in an abundance mindset.
00:04:16
Speaker
you're someone who sees the possibilities in everything, like she worries about everything and to the point where it like really does hinder her. Right. Exactly. Exactly. And I think the reason that she did appear a piece of that, a piece of what like allows us to truly break through our limiting beliefs is like staying where you've always lived.
00:04:37
Speaker
I think like if you never get leave that those original walls that were built around you or those original like that original mindset I mean it's so hard so you can travel and stuff but like you have to live out on your own I think it's like such and not forever right no no you're a while exactly it's all about like so like
Breaking Free from Comfort Zones
00:04:57
Speaker
I was saying that I made a lot of rash decisions. I left my hometown right after graduating school or thinking I was graduating school when I was 20. I left a relationship that was like the perfect guy, he was a stable, whatever, perfect man. All these things I was able to leave because exactly like Danny said, was just trusting. And I think something that my hometown believed or bred on was that
00:05:25
Speaker
weirdly, if you're not from there, you're never going to be anything. And since I was someone who moved there older, I always never fit in. So my entire pivotal moments of my life, I felt so out of place and so unwelcome that I felt like I was going to feel that way everywhere. So there was parts of me that wanted to stay.
00:05:43
Speaker
once you step out of those bounds and you let yourself experience all these new things that's when you get to like meet these new people and you find out like right i'm not my hometown is not a terrible place and there are some great people from there but there's a lot of people who like my parents right never left like people and people who stay stagnant in the same place there's so much out there you could never be exposed to if you don't like also and also
00:06:07
Speaker
drag yourself up from the bottom while you're out there doing it. Like I was with someone who took care of me and I left that to be unstable financially because I knew that it was better to find myself and build myself than to use or to be like inauthentic with my relationship for comfort in that way.
00:06:26
Speaker
Yeah, I know it was crazy. No, no, no, that means because I remember you telling me like this person was dead ass going to propose to you and your parents thought that you were like crazy for like leaving him because he was like older and have like stable job. And you were like, bro, I'm just not in love with him. Like, I don't know what else to tell you, like, I desire happiness. Exactly. And like, right, I talk about this all the time, believing nursing, like that was a choice that was like, I quit. And so many people were like, I can't believe like, you're a quitter. Like I told myself, like I'm a quitter. And there's nothing like,
00:06:56
Speaker
It's not quitting to be like, Oh, I don't like this. That's not like, that's not the right word for that. It's a fresh start. You're paving a new path. You're not like, you're not gonna, you don't have
Embracing New Beginnings
00:07:06
Speaker
to be sitting somewhere where you're unhappy and just keep like
00:07:10
Speaker
making, you can, Cole loves to, I don't remember his exact words, but like sometimes he'll talk about like sometimes how you have to eat a shit sandwich and you can't, you can put anything you want on a shit sandwich to dress it up, but like it's never gonna not be a shit sandwich. So like if you're in a job, if you're in a relationship, if you're living somewhere where you're not happy and you can't possibly find a happy version of yourself, then leave that spot. Like leave, don't eat the shit sandwich, make a new sandwich. You're never gonna pay.
00:07:39
Speaker
You know what? One of the deepest things I've heard out of Cole's mouth, which is, which is hilarious. The shit sandwich reference is probably the best advice I've had from Cole. Go ahead Cole. Shout out Cole. You know what? And with that, let's, let's take a little ad.
00:08:01
Speaker
Okay you guys, so on the topic of fresh starts, I just wanted to like kind of let you guys know Awakened Big would literally not exist if fresh starts are starting over like weren't a thing. Personally myself, I feel like I'm the queen of starting over, the queen of a fresh start if you will.
00:08:20
Speaker
Um, I might it's funny because when I was like doing theater my friend said oh you're the queen of side hustles because I was like, I was kind of always hanging on to theaters like my like oh that's what I that's what I'm known for, but I would do all this other shit that I like to do right.
00:08:35
Speaker
But I was thinking about it and like Awaken Big is my, it's my like first real, like, and I guess Kelsey kind of tested this too. Yeah, it's our first, it's our first real business that's based in like, in something huge, right? So like when it comes to like, when I was doing fitness or something, like, there's like, there's like a yes and a no, right way, like fact kind of thing. When it comes to spirituality, talking about spirituality, it has a lot to do with morals. So it's kind of like putting your ass out there for people, like,
00:09:03
Speaker
It's like telling people it's vulnerable as fuck is what I'm saying. It's putting it way more intimate than like a different type of career, I guess. But we
Vulnerability in Spiritual Pursuits
00:09:13
Speaker
wouldn't have been here. Like I for myself would never have been able to start Awakened Bake if I hadn't started kind of implementing manifesting into my like public life on social media. So like I used to be a fitness influencer and I literally came out with a booty program called Manifest Your Dream Booty because I was so obsessed with manifesting.
00:09:30
Speaker
But like fitness was only even a thing for me because of my whole history with theater and like having an eating disorder. And so it's almost like you're never starting over. You're just continuing. Like, you know what I mean? It's like chapters end, but it's a whole ass book. Like, you don't want to be stuck after. OK, look at us with the fucking metaphors today. Right. I know I didn't make that up, but because I can't think of who said it first, I'm just going to ride with it. I'm sure you heard it here.
00:10:02
Speaker
But yeah, it's just all like different chapters in your book, right? And I also think that growth is a lot slower and like time goes a lot slower without change.
00:10:15
Speaker
Because you know what I mean? And like, because change is, you know how they say change is inevitable, growth is not. Well, it's like, it's like, yeah, change is going to happen. So if you're resisting it the whole time, like, you're not supposed to do that. And I wanted to point out on a spiritual level on like the laws of the universe.
00:10:35
Speaker
Abraham Hicks talks all the time about momentum and about what guaranteed set laws of the universe. She's a law of attracting coach. They, because Abraham is actually, if you don't know, Abraham Hicks is the higher power entity that Esther and Jerry Hicks came up with, that they use. It is their higher self, but it's the name that they go with to make it easier for everyone to understand what they're doing. They're connected, right?
00:11:04
Speaker
I mean, like, they're soulmates. Yeah, they're sorry. Yes. Exactly. So she teaches the fuck. I don't care. Abraham teaches about it. Oh, yeah, this is not a gender thing, guys. Literally, it's literally a matter of, are we talking about a woman or a higher power? Exactly. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When I say I don't care about they, that's what I mean. Now, if this was a human, like, yeah, but we're talking about, am I talking about, you know, an energy or a person? Yes. Yes.
00:11:32
Speaker
So Abraham, the energy, tells us that it is a universal law. When you tell the universe what your desires are, when you put out into the universe what your goals are, what you want to manifest, it has to, without a doubt, it'll unfold and present you hundreds of different opportunity paths and like just options for you in whatever path or field that you're talking about, whatever, and in line with that desire.
00:11:58
Speaker
Now it is up to you to like notice those, to jump on those, to take those.
Quantum Leaping and Positivity
00:12:03
Speaker
And this is the crazy part Abraham teaches that when you're in a period of like change or uncertainty, that is when you're the most powerful. That is when you have the most potential for energetic momentum and power and success. Cause you have nothing, you have no beliefs that are built up typically.
00:12:24
Speaker
You know, what's crazy is that your ovulation is also when it's the best time for that. When you're also like starting fresh and when it's like, you're, you just have like released your, like, that's the point of like your beginnings, a little weird, all synchronicities, all synchronicities, bitch. So yeah, this is actually like the most powerful time for you energetically. And well, it can be, do not start yourself in this, in this area, right?
00:12:52
Speaker
So I'm going to give you guys five tips of how to embrace the adventure and embrace this kind of time right now so that you can really get the most out of it, get the most out of change. But really quickly, I did want to point out, I understand that sometimes change is out of our hands. Sometimes life happens, shit goes wrong, bad things happen.
00:13:11
Speaker
And I don't want to be insensitive to that. What I'm asking you guys is to try. Again, I didn't make this up, but since I do know who to cite for this, Pageant Queen Pixie, Pageant Queen Pixie taught me that rejection is actually redirection.
00:13:27
Speaker
I love that. So just, I'm not saying it works for every situation. Obviously I'm not like, you know what I mean? But try, just try to start seeing things that way and it'll really help. So then I came up with five of the tips that I think have helped Awake and Bake the most and then also myself the most just in my life when it comes to, cause guys, essentially what we're teaching you is how to quantum leap. Like this is another form of quantum leaping, right?
Managing Stress in New Ventures
00:13:52
Speaker
So this is how you will succeed and soar when you're in that little unknown space. Number one is regardless of whatever your goal is, you need to go into this like RoxyTox's 360 method. Like you are going to be affirming and programming your subconscious mind, but you're going to be doing this consciously, right? You're going to just only talk about it confidently. You're going to only speak about yourself. Like you are professional, like it's already done. It's happening. We only put those types of words and validation out there. The second thing.
00:14:22
Speaker
you have to stay happy about this you guys okay like anytime you talk about this keep it light-hearted keep it excited keep it like something that you're super happy about when kelsey and i started awake and big we promised each other we were like we will never be stressed out about this because then we know it's not going to work like it has to be if we're not enjoying it it will never work exactly that's literally literally our only that's like our business model no stress
00:14:47
Speaker
Literally, I'm like, we've, we, there are times where it's like, Hey girl, like for me to be able to film this episode or record this podcast episode, it would just like drive me like up the wall. I don't have any time today. Everything went wrong or I don't feel good, whatever. And like, because this is a luxury, but we've manifested up to this point since we are our own bosses for this, then we can be like, Hey bitch, then guess what? We love y'all, but you're not getting an episode this Monday. And that's cool.
00:15:13
Speaker
right and so sometimes that happens um so no matter what keep it happy and try to remind yourself guys you just started it's the beginning so there's really no pressure there's no like speed that you have to like meet or match you know what i mean yes and then number three i want to talk about this because i keep seeing this on tiktok and i'm not mad at it i just i don't i don't really talk this way so i'm like okay well let me see if y'all relate to this
00:15:41
Speaker
I fucking love weed. Um, but anyway, tip number three is like, all the kids are talking about how they're being delusional these days, like how they're being like delusional about their dreams, delusional about romanticizing, like, in a good way, like it. Um, so when I talk about delusional, instead of saying like, ah, like your,
00:15:58
Speaker
you're literally delusional and I don't know guys in a bad way I mean this like I want you to exaggerate your romanticizing I want you to like overly love and overly be happy so like when I said earlier like consider yourself like already a professional like for everything like have this mindset for everything be delusional about all of it
00:16:20
Speaker
Number four, Awakened Big I will say is very good at this. Celebrate every single success, every little step that anything like on the road, celebrate it on your path because half of the shake you don't even know like
00:16:35
Speaker
you don't know what is going to like be like a milestone like you might have goals but because you've actually never done this before you're in a whole new area like be open to whatever the universe is going to give you and then some things i've said this before but like some things happen and it's like oh i'm on my path and i had you know this little moment of recognition or this achievement maybe it wasn't anything to you because it wasn't something that you really had planned or thought about or thought much of
00:16:57
Speaker
But to other people, that's fucking huge. Once you start celebrating every small win, every little amazing thing that happens for you on your new venture, you're telling the universe more of this, please.
Content and Influence
00:17:08
Speaker
I like this. I like being, you know, gifted in alignment with my desires.
00:17:12
Speaker
um and then also you're gonna hike yourself up more and realize holy fuck like i'm i'm doing a lot better than i realize i'm not shitting you when i tell you kelsey and i like going into this we had never done a podcast before um so we didn't know we had to like we didn't know anything we just knew we wanted to just talk and we were like well i don't want to have to do like my makeup and look cute every day so let's go the podcast throughout we listen to podcasts anyway we like it right um
00:17:38
Speaker
But there were so many things we didn't think about and then we started celebrating them like we were like oh my gosh like we're kind of, I remember the first time we top charted we were like, number 29 on some list, and we were like, damn, like, what, that's in the top 100 like that's I never first of all I forgot the charts were a thing.
00:17:57
Speaker
I honestly forgot. So we started celebrating every time we would like chart top or whatever the fuck. And then about, what was it? Two weeks ago? We ranked number one for spirituality, like all spirituality. We were the number one. Religion and spirituality.
00:18:26
Speaker
Okay. And yeah, so like we never, I just feel like because every single time we've charted in the past, like we make such a big deal of it. Cause we're like, holy fuck, like that is crazy. You guys know how many podcasts are out there? According to recent notes, at least 2.8 billion and we are in the top 10%. So.
00:18:47
Speaker
So you're welcome for being here. And then that just brings me to number five, my very last tip, which is to consume inspiring and similar content to like whatever your desires are. And I'm not saying everybody's going to want to have like a specific monetary desire or career desire. Like you might be like, I'm changing relationships. I'm changing in terms of like my independency and stuff like that. But again, you can still take in content that has to do with that. You know what I mean?
00:19:15
Speaker
whatever phase of my life I'm in, I'm taking in that type of content. I feel like that's definitely how it works. I always try to do it without
00:19:27
Speaker
making the mistake of oversaturating myself with it like I think that's something I've had to learn throughout like my time is like sometimes I'll get too hyper fixated on like something like I just went on like a really I was listening and I still listen to it's really great podcast about Buddhism um but I realized that I was listening to it like three hours a day um and I had to take a step back because um
00:19:47
Speaker
Saudi Tim, his voice was all I heard. He was following me around. And while I love him, it was a little much. But no, definitely. I feel like, I don't know, I feel like everything that I do when I'm in a good place, everything I'm doing is positive. It's just... Yeah.
00:20:08
Speaker
making sense guys i'm no no no no you're making sense and and that's basically what i was saying was like taking positive content that also just has to do with whatever you're going through and it does again it doesn't have to be like spot on um but i really recommend like yeah if you're going through a breakup bitch go on youtube and watch videos of like how to get through a breakup i've done it before it really works but also say that you're maybe like
00:20:29
Speaker
oh i'm gonna start um i don't know venturing out and like really dipping my toes into like the influencer life like you don't have to necessarily like take in other influencers content who are doing in like the exact same niche as you because number one you don't want to like overdo like they're same type of saturated
00:20:47
Speaker
basic shit but like this okay you guys i not sound like a hater but i love watching ccs4s her real name is chelsea her handle on everything is ccs4s she is an influencer a full-time influencer but she does commentary specifically anti-mlm content my spiritual content is not about mlms at all however we both do commentary we both do like um influencer style work
00:21:14
Speaker
And we have very similar upload routines and content creation schedules. And I get a lot of my inspiration from her, from her work ethic, from her, the way that she posts, she gives a lot of business tips. So that's kind of what I mean too, is the more into the side of the business that I get, I try to take in as much inspiring content as I can. So I'm always looking for women specifically who really motivate me.
00:21:38
Speaker
And that's the cool thing you mentioned like early on about how you're not, it's never really like a fresh start. Like you're never really
Facing Fears and Taking Risks
00:21:44
Speaker
starting. You're taking like little pieces like from your other things. And like, that's exactly what that is. Like that's a relationship. And you never would have found her had you not decided to be like, well, I'm going to go down this anti-MLM track, which has been incredible to watch. Guys, MLMs stay away.
00:22:00
Speaker
But like, you know, like it's like that never would have come into your life had you not like taken like, Oh, let me take an interest in this. Let me learn about this. And like, you know, one part about all of it is like taking these steps in all these different directions is how you meet these people and make these connections and learn these new ideas and share all of this to them like
00:22:17
Speaker
That's literally what makes Awakened make is just taking new steps in different ways. We didn't know anything about Reiki and then we stepped in that way with Rachel. You know, like so many different parts of this have just been like, all right, well, let's, uh, let's test this out. Let's try this and then tell everyone about it. You know, like, exactly. That's the whole point is this is supposed to be like a dialogue, not a lesson. We are not your teachers guys. And like, yeah, I don't know. I just really cool. I just like, I really hope that listening to this, you guys are like, yeah, I want to.
00:22:48
Speaker
I don't know why my I keep fixating on like leave your hometown for a little bit but that I just like anyone's hearing this and they're thinking about that do it like as soon as you can.
00:23:01
Speaker
It's going to be hard at first. And like, that's the hard thing about doing this. Anytime you do these things, anytime you step out, like the scariest part is the beginning because it feels the same. Like you're, it's not a quick fix. Like you're never going to, you're going to realize that like, it's actually all inside you and like, there's parts of you that you need to heal. And like, that's what makes it okay. Like that's because it is all you, all of it is you. That's Nico Torella. I don't know if you guys know who he is. He's on Younger. He's married to Bethany Myers, but that's his poetry book. All of it is you. So every time I say that, I think of him. So I had to shout him out.
00:23:31
Speaker
Hey, I knew who said that. Look at us. They're giving so much credit. An English teacher would be so proud of this episode. We have been fucking citing our sources.
00:23:42
Speaker
period, bitch. That's all that I wanted to share on this subject. I hope you guys feel very inspired to like, you know, create more of an adventure of your life and don't be scared. And also remember, you guys, like, number one, you will be fine. The universe has your back. But also number two, like since Kelsey was really fixated on leaving your hometown, like, listen, hooker whores, you can go back.
00:24:03
Speaker
if you like it's not this big scary permanent change you can all my phrase that i say all the time which is not even 100% true but it works sometimes is you can always try again because for the most part you can always try again yes that's why whenever someone asks me if i'm going to go back to nursing i'm always like i don't know because i don't know like i who knows but right now it's not my path like
00:24:25
Speaker
Right. Exactly. And so if you, all we're asking is that, you know, you give it a shot, go explore, have a little adventure, then you can come on back home if that's what you want to do. But at least you want to be able to say like, I did all the things and I saw what the universe had to offer me. Yes. Learn all the lessons. Exactly. And with that, I just wanted to say, stay high. Bye.
