Plus, we dive deep into how to harness these skills to unlock healing, confidence, and personal growth.
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share:
0:46 - 05:58 Meet Juliet and Paul: Who they are, their mission to bring life-changing tools to the world, and why they’re passionate about helping others evolve.

Spoiler alert: They’re total goals as a couple AND business partners.
05:58 - 15:30 What’s Hypnotherapy All About: Think hypnotherapy is all swinging watches and “you’re getting sleepy”? Think again. Juliet and Paul break down the myths, the science, and how hypnosis can shift your mindset and heal deep-rooted beliefs.
15:30 - 21:08 What We’ve Actually Learned from Juliet and Paul: Tune in as we share the biggest “aha” moments we’ve had working with this amazing couple.
21:08 - 29:37 Why Transformational Work Is About Mind, Body, and Strategy: Transformation isn’t just mindset - it’s a full-body experience. Juliet and Paul explain why combining emotional healing with actionable strategies is the key to creating lasting change.
29:37 - 32:55 There Is No Good OR Bad - You Can Be the Hero AND the Villain: Life is messy, and that’s okay. Juliet and Paul share why embracing all parts of yourself—flaws, mistakes, and all—is what true transformation looks like.
41:41 - 58:59 Are You Thinking or Just Replying the Same Thought: Juliet and Paul dive deep into the difference between authentic thinking and simply reacting out of habit.

44
::so I'd love to hear from you both
45
::like how did you get into the space and why
46
::what was the reason
47
::I think like for a lot of people it was from necessity
48
::um in my late teens
49
::early 20s I suffered from really bad panic attacks
50
::anxiety and even to the point of no really bad paranoia
51
::and I got to
52
::the point where I couldn't even leave my bedroom
53
::I was totally afraid of the world
54
::um basically a recluse
55
::and then I got to the point where
56
::I had to just do something about it
57
::and I went to the traditional method
58
::going to see doctors and all that
59
::and they wanted to make the joke
60
::they want to stick tubes up both ends
61
::but they didn't want to find out what was
62
::really inside of me if you know what I mean
63
::yeah and so um
64
::one day I stumbled into a library
65
::and that just opened up a whole series of me
66
::finding little droplets of seeds
67
::that started getting me to look inside and learn more
68
::and become educated
69
::and then I started doing some self hypnosis
70
::found some
71
::you know self development courses and things like that
72
::and then dramatically
73
::I went from a kid that couldn't leave his bedroom
74
::to work in the biggest gym in South Australia
75
::like really quickly wow
76
::and then basically just got obsessed with learning
77
::the more I worked on myself
78
::the more I learnt the better my life got
79
::and then pretty quickly
80
::I started teaching other trainers
81
::and then have other people sending their clients to me
82
::in the wanting to learn from me
83
::and then just kind of snowballed from there
84
::and uh now
85
::I get to teach
86
::the kind of tools that help me change my life
87
::and super inspiring
88
::to see people that have gone through things
89
::like I did or even
90
::you know bigger and completely turn their life around
91
::so it's been pretty fun to to go on the journey
92
::especially with my beautiful partner as well
93
::oh and I think it's so inspiring
94
::because you started so young
95
::like you've been doing this work now nearly 20 years
96
::and that knowledge that you have
97
::has just compounded and built into now
98
::I see you and you one of your best skills is like
99
::taking the most complex concepts
100
::and being able to
101
::articulate them in a way that just lands
102
::and is so simple and easy for people to apply
103
::and understand practically
104
::yeah my story started About 10 years ago now
105
::I was in a really different situation
106
::where I had kind of built my whole life as a woman
107
::ticking all of the societal boxes
108
::I got married I had a good paying job
109
::I had a nice car nice house
110
::all of those things external success
111
::but inside I was not happy or fulfilled
112
::and I had such bad anxiety and I didn't understand it
113
::and the anxiety now when I look back
114
::is such a gift that I had it
115
::because I knew I didn't wanna medicate it away
116
::everything I did to try to heal my own anxiety
117
::and understand it LED me to a place where
118
::in the space of 12 months
119
::I ended my marriage
120
::and then I started my life coaching business
121
::and it was six months after I ended my marriage
122
::that I actually met this beautiful man next to me
123
::and we had just this moment
124
::where our souls really saw each other
125
::and it was like meeting your best friend
126
::and realising why no one
127
::or nothing has ever felt right before
128
::and we've literally been inseparable ever since
129
::and now still pinch myself everyday
130
::because it's been 10 years now
131
::and I get to share the tools that help me heal myself
132
::with my partner in crime
133
::and we get to have this ripple effect
134
::where we've now trained hundreds
135
::if not thousands of students worldwide
136
::and it's it's the tools and the skills that helped us
137
::and that's why we're so passionate about
138
::making it accessible making it easy
139
::making it fun not making it this big
140
::I think what I found along my journey of self healing
141
::which continues to this day
142
::we're never done but what I found was
143
::there were so many people in the healing
144
::work that had this philosophy
145
::or idea that healing has to be traumatic
146
::yes hundred percent and
147
::and the hypnotherapy training
148
::I studied the hypnotherapy training that you taught
149
::like 10 years ago now
150
::and I just remember on day one of that training
151
::I felt at home in my body and my nervous system
152
::for the first time in my adult life
153
::and I just thought
154
::it doesn't matter that I haven't been to uni for 4
155
::or 5 years I can help people with these things
156
::and it was profound and so
157
::I'm so glad that you both have had a similar experience
158
::with especially the hypnotherapy
159
::I think the NLP helps your mind
160
::and understanding how we recreate things
161
::with our thoughts and our speech
162
::but the hypnotherapy
163
::really helps bridge that unconscious gap
164
::and the misalignment so
165
::it's been a wild ride
166
::I love that and you know what
167
::so on hepnotherapy so I truly don't believe
168
::and we didn't understand hepnotherapy until we did it
169
::and you know
170
::I really want to and I'll pay with you guys
171
::and you're like hey
172
::hepnotherapy is coming up first
173
::you wanna do it and I was just like nah
174
::lucky not because I thought hepnotherapy
175
::literally was on the stage
176
::cracking like a duck that's what
177
::you know you know
178
::that's the type of hypnotherapy you hear
179
::you don't hear about hypnotherapy like this
180
::and then we did it and me and bro
181
::we went in there to be better coaches for our clients
182
::and Day 2 were in fetal position
183
::like we're like what is going on now
184
::and I think Paul like
185
::you're such a gift to the world
186
::and how you deliver this um
187
::I think you've made hepnotherapy modern fun
188
::easy to understand but just the way that you deliver it
189
::it's not it's hard
190
::it's mind blowing it
191
::it's even hard to even articulate
192
::you know you took me through a process where
193
::you know I was so scared of choking and
194
::and that was my entire life um
195
::you know it was ruining things with my partner
196
::and I couldn't have dinner with my kids anymore
197
::and this had been going on for many
198
::many years and as you know
199
::my eldest kids 19 and that's when it really started
200
::and then I had Harvey at three
201
::and it was so bad that I could have dinner with my kids
202
::and then I did that insane hypnotherapy session with
203
::you live
204
::and now I can eat with my kids
205
::hmm and it's like you're even
206
::you're even more chill around
207
::like she hates being on the scooter in Bali
208
::yeah after hypnotherapy
209
::she was more chill in the back
210
::usually she would tighten up or be like
211
::watch out and slow down and yeah
212
::and and then went after the hypnotherapy session
213
::she was like relaxed and felt free
214
::and I'm like yeah
215
::it's crazy right
216
::so but um
217
::a few things
218
::I'm gonna share today
219
::is some things that I've learnt from you
220
::and I won't steal your quotes
221
::but one thing for people listening
222
::who don't really understand hypnotherapy
223
::you're working with the unconscious mind
224
::which 90 to 99%
225
::really 100% of your mind is unconsciously programmed
226
::especially for the years from 1 to 7 right
227
::and I like to say
228
::when you're hypnotized by your parents
229
::by your schooling by media
230
::by constant influences from child till now
231
::it's almost like I'm hypnotizing yourself
232
::which is what you said
233
::and I find that the best way to explain hypnotherapy
234
::because we're being hypnotized everyday
235
::you know and a lot of people who come to us
236
::obviously they've got issues right
237
::they got anxiety there no self worth
238
::no confidence
239
::so they're hypnotized to think they have this anxiety
240
::and think they have depression
241
::and then they go on a Tangent
242
::on ruminating on their problems and googling them
243
::and going to doctors who then confirm and cement yes
244
::you have this disorder and you have problems
245
::and you need medication
246
::so then their unconscious minds more like yep
247
::and brings more symptoms forward yep
248
::for for you it's like you turn to someone and you go
249
::but then how do you really feel and what happens here
250
::and then and then you like
251
::bring all these thoughts forward
252
::that they've never had before
253
::and then it allows them to go well
254
::we're not hypnotizing where you are hypnotizing
255
::and I like that term a lot better
256
::cause it's like it's like
257
::it's so true because you you only know what you know
258
::and what I always say to people when they come to me
259
::I'm like they're like
260
::yeah but I'm not good enough or whatever
261
::they're like certain they're not good enough
262
::they're certain
263
::they can't start a million dollar business
264
::they're certain that they're
265
::they're never gonna find love or whatever
266
::the thing is that they want
267
::and I'm like
268
::it's kinda like grabbing a person and going
269
::the sky's not actually blue
270
::oh what the fuck you talking about
271
::what do you mean so the sky
272
::the sky's not blue is actually red
273
::you've been lied to your whole life
274
::this is a Truman Show whatever
275
::you know and it's like
276
::I try and explain to people that sometimes
277
::what's happening with you
278
::you you
279
::you think the sky is blue
280
::but it's not the sky can be any fucking colour you want
281
::it's just words that have been made up by people
282
::and then pass down the human
283
::English language and I'm like
284
::when you actually open yourself up where
285
::which is
286
::gonna take me to my second thing that you taught me
287
::the more you learn like you guys said
288
::constant work Julian
289
::as he said before like
290
::you know you're
291
::you're you're
292
::it never stops the more you learn
293
::the more you don't realize you don't know
294
::and that's another thing I
295
::learnt from you the more you learn and and it's like
296
::the more you learn out of a car
297
::you go whoa
298
::there's I never knew that and then you go holy shit
299
::there's so much learn to know about a diesel car
300
::and now there's so much to learn about electric car
301
::and what what else is out there
302
::so the more more learning you do
303
::the more open job to go I actually know nothing yeah
304
::about everything
305
::and that's a really powerful place to be
306
::cause sometimes the certainty that clients have
307
::in their problems is what reinforces the problem
308
::because like you said
309
::when they have embrace the uncertainty
310
::the more uncertainty you can embrace
311
::the more you can learn and more you can change
312
::if you're like this is it
313
::I'm locked in and your programming is certain
314
::you're not gonna look for alternatives
315
::you just delete the store and generalize it
316
::so you only show yourself how you're not good enough
317
::when there's infinite possibilities of how you are
318
::and so yeah
319
::really being able to step into the uncertainty
320
::and being cool with that because if you want to change
321
::you need to you need to step into something new
322
::which therefore goes against what you know yes
323
::the unknown is the uncertain
324
::and if you're comfortable in that
325
::you learn you grow and the more you learn
326
::the more you grow and the more uncomfortable you are
327
::the easier it is to grow right yes
328
::but is that that little shake up
329
::and I think for a lot of people
330
::what they think hypnosis is
331
::like you said this huge misconception
332
::but it's everything that you've been encountered with
333
::in your life every word
334
::every interaction is getting laid into you
335
::and it becomes your map and mortal for reality
336
::and for a lot of people
337
::the map and model that were given is
338
::for an outdated world from people that weren't
339
::weren't taught how to teach you how to learn
340
::yes
341
::and they hand down the map they got from their parents
342
::or their grandparents
343
::for a world that doesn't exist anymore
344
::yeah a lot of those rules are outdated
345
::a lot of those rules and ways to keep you safe
346
::and survive in those worlds are given to you
347
::and then you try to navigate inside that model
348
::and it just doesn't work and for a lot of people
349
::it becomes a trap and so
350
::really just hope
351
::helping them to step into what's possible for them
352
::and undo some of their programming
353
::and really choose to design their life
354
::versus just run their default programs
355
::so that's one of the big things that we look at
356
::I just wanna add as well
357
::what I've witnessed in the last 10 years
358
::in supporting you in teaching
359
::especially your hypnotherapy training
360
::but also now teaching part of it is
361
::it's not just a hypnotherapy training
362
::there are hypnotherapy trainees out there
363
::where you read a piece of paper
364
::what I witnessed last week
365
::in the last practitioner training
366
::was a radical shift of consciousness
367
::of the group of people in that training
368
::it's beyond that
369
::and the skills and the tools that I think
370
::equips the coach with we were talking about earlier
371
::boy like knowing and having that
372
::knowing and certainty
373
::that your client walks in with their problem
374
::and their solution and knowing that
375
::the tools that I think
376
::you teach in your hypnotherapy training
377
::empower the coach to know that at the deepest level
378
::that their client has the solution inside of them
379
::and that's such a healing space for the client
380
::and the coach I think to step yeah
381
::so that's magic it will but all of our trainings
382
::even when I learnt how to teach
383
::a lot of the stuff that I teach
384
::which isn't what I teach now
385
::cause I've changed a lot over the years of course
386
::and I realised I could teach techniques to people
387
::and they would get the result based on what
388
::was still happening inside them
389
::I'm like okay
390
::so I can give anyone a technique
391
::but they're still gonna reflect
392
::and bounce off their client
393
::so what I really need to do as a teacher
394
::is to get people's certainty confidence
395
::belief in themself and their client to level up
396
::and that's why we kind of build the evolve state that
397
::that way of thinking where you can see
398
::past the person's presenting problems
399
::and see their potential and know
400
::and believe in that
401
::more than they believe in their problem
402
::because whenever you interact with any person
403
::is a hypnotic battle going on
404
::and it's a is either a win win
405
::where they walk out with their problem gone
406
::and you walk out with a result
407
::or it's a lose lose where they walk out
408
::and they convince you that they can't change yep
409
::so really just cranking up
410
::your belief in the person's ability to change
411
::is something that we build as a foundation
412
::for everything we teach were
413
::you guys in that training
414
::where student tried to convince Paul
415
::that they couldn't change
416
::and he just said I don't fucking play that shit
417
::he's like let's get in there and let's sort it out
418
::yeah know and yeah
419
::I think that knowing that you have is um
420
::and like you said it's not common
421
::I literally talk to a lady
422
::two days ago
423
::who had studied diploma of hypnotherapy elsewhere
424
::she didn't wanna name the company
425
::and I wouldn't do that on this anyway
426
::but she
427
::she literally said a lot of things and she was like
428
::well I just basically had a client come in
429
::I they didn't fit my piece of paper
430
::I didn't know what to do yeah
431
::I'm like wow
432
::that's what they get for the yes
433
::the high level training that they've done
434
::and like we literally do not look at a piece of paper
435
::the whole course cause your client helps you to build
436
::the session as you go and really
437
::she was asking about some of the challenges
438
::she was having I'm like
439
::did your course teach you about your beliefs
440
::and how you are projecting onto your client
441
::and your
442
::your clients will not go where you don't think they can
443
::and she's like no
444
::I'm like you did a whole course
445
::I didn't talk about that I'm like
446
::that is the foundation like perception is projection
447
::your limitations will show up in your clients
448
::and until you shift in yourself
449
::they will not let their problem go
450
::if you think they can't and she was like
451
::oh my god I didn't know that
452
::and then like I was just like
453
::what are other people teaching out there
454
::yeah you know
455
::this was a high level certification
456
::that cost way more than what we charged
457
::yeah and they walk away with so much less
458
::and it's like this is why when people come to me now
459
::I've done hypnotherapy I'm like
460
::I know you had have you done paused
461
::you need to come up with another name for you
462
::because it's something else
463
::one thing as well is I feel like you guys have nailed
464
::and it doesn't matter what industry you're in
465
::is community and support yeah
466
::so when I was in that course for that week
467
::I felt like uh
468
::by the end of the week
469
::I was in there with my best friends
470
::and I felt so comfortable
471
::and I still um
472
::am really good
473
::friends with a lot of the people that are in there
474
::including the um
475
::trainers that you guys have in your roller crew yeah
476
::and I feel like that's what we are about
477
::we're about creating community
478
::networking and we're having
479
::we said when it was ending yeah
480
::and when it ends
481
::it's like you guys do this Celebration you get on zoom
482
::you put all the the hat the hats on through the um
483
::the what are they called filters
484
::filters
485
::and and you have a good time and like always say um
486
::this sounds fucking cliche and stupid
487
::but you make learning fun
488
::you do and and
489
::and I feel like one easy and easy to understand
490
::and one module that I always say
491
::like one of my friends
492
::Mick just did your course and he absolutely is yeah
493
::it changed like he said
494
::when when I went into your course
495
::I went in with a bit of ego like yeah
496
::I'm just gonna learn some more and help more people
497
::and then I did so much of my own work
498
::and that's when I can when I fill my own cup up
499
::then I'm shining brightly for the clients
500
::like you said if
501
::you're not doing all these limitating things on
502
::yourself
503
::then you're only gonna take your client that far yeah
504
::but you know these people going into these um
505
::courses and there you know
506
::I like when me and Kirsty went in
507
::we're like yeah
508
::this is gonna be like educational
509
::we got all these books and like
510
::we're in fetal position on brakes yeah
511
::holy shit I didn't realize this
512
::and then but also this is the best
513
::yeah yeah
514
::and I'm like and I'm like
515
::oh and you going together like
516
::oh my God I've just realized this
517
::and and I I truly believe every single coach out there
518
::has got to do hypnotherapy with you guys
519
::because I thought breathwork was the game changer
520
::we were like
521
::that is the secret weapon no one knows about
522
::and don't get me wrong
523
::it absolutely is for somatic and processing
524
::and your breath flows
525
::adding hypnotherapy and breathwork
526
::you're unstoppable are you guys using your breath too
527
::you know like take a deep breath or whatever
528
::like it's all mixed pieces of the puzzle yes
529
::you wait till we
530
::cause you haven't got all the pieces of the puzzle yet
531
::in advance hypno
532
::we do embody cognition we do present moment awareness
533
::and so when you take that stuff
534
::and the rest of the brain stem model
535
::that I start teaching at the first level yeah
536
::you guys are gonna be like
537
::what the fuck it's a whole it's a like
538
::but that's already at the first level zero
539
::cause people like
540
::I didn't know that this happens in a human awareness
541
::like I didn't know how much
542
::I was going into trance all the time
543
::I didn't realise that
544
::every time I'm having an emotional response
545
::I'm regressing in my nervous system and I'm triggered
546
::I'm not present in the moment
547
::I'm fuckin a two year old
548
::with some trauma going on in the background
549
::yeah open my this
550
::and people start realising how much
551
::when they talk to their friend
552
::their friends back on the beach
553
::tell them about the holiday
554
::they're not here talking to you
555
::they're off somewhere else
556
::and so like
557
::people just realise how much the human interaction
558
::how much basic English language is hypnotic and they go
559
::wow I didn't realise that it was this powerful
560
::and I don't think I I will go as far as saying
561
::most hypnotherapy courses out there
562
::do not even realise that themselves
563
::most hypnotic teachers don't realise the
564
::capacity of what's possible with hypnotherapy
565
::and so they stick to a piece of paper
566
::they give the power to the words on the paper
567
::not the client
568
::I don't realize your magic that can happen in interim
569
::but it would be similar for you guys in your industry
570
::you have so many people say
571
::I've been to breath work and it's not like this
572
::yes so that's what it is
573
::so
574
::I feel like you have evolved it and you've adapted it
575
::and you're helping people as well
576
::in your breathwork sessions
577
::actually break through the patterns
578
::because I've been to regular breathwork sessions
579
::where the same people are working with the same
580
::responses
581
::the same patterns year after year after a year
582
::and they're not actually evolving
583
::they're not actually clear
584
::they're not evolving and changes
585
::so habit diving as we learn shit diving yeah
586
::so combining the skills allows the hundred percent
587
::and like we're always like I always say
588
::we don't do goal setting and we breathe success
589
::we don't do goal setting we do habit changes yes
590
::we break through patterns because
591
::because nothing everyone does a goal first of January
592
::all the goals come out and I'm like okay
593
::and day 5 you're back in the thing
594
::because you haven't changed the default settings
595
::you haven't broken through the patterns and the habits
596
::the reason why you do the shit you fucking do for years
597
::I'd write a to do list or a goal list and
598
::and I would feel good at the moment
599
::so I'm like ah
600
::that's out of my head yeah
601
::and then next week I'm like okay
602
::and I'd literally just copy and paste and be like
603
::this is Nick yeah okay
604
::what's this week's uh
605
::it's exactly the same as the first week
606
::so copy
607
::paste and then just do another week of procrastinating
608
::but I think NLP also taught me um
609
::like what you were saying what the the um
610
::you know therapist or whatever you wanna call yourself
611
::you know when you're working with a client
612
::knowing your own stuff like we worked out
613
::like when you order coffee
614
::you go through systems yes
615
::every decision you make is a structured system
616
::and then if you don't
617
::if that system's not working for you
618
::then like the way you do one thing
619
::is the way you do everything in your life yes
620
::the way you make your bed is the way you do business
621
::the way you do business how you treat yourself
622
::how you treat yourself how you treat other people
623
::and if those systems are so unconscious and habitable
624
::then that's why like nothing changes
625
::like you said
626
::you see the same people coming to breathwork
627
::and we do we get the same people coming year after year
628
::after year to our events
629
::and they put their hand up
630
::and they're sharing basically
631
::the exact same thing they did two years ago
632
::but in different language
633
::yeah well
634
::the action take action taken is the main thing
635
::but you've got to change well
636
::I believe environments yes
637
::yes I think habits are massive
638
::but I think for me this work
639
::whatever you wanna call it
640
::transformational work no matter what tools you're using
641
::I truly believe you have to work with the mind
642
::you have to work with the body in the nervous system
643
::and then you have to have some sort of strategy
644
::yeah some sort of plan
645
::and that's why we try and work with all three now
646
::believe in your breath to get people
647
::really into the ultimate success
648
::but honestly I think you guys will agree
649
::not no one knows enough about the nervous system
650
::cause the nervous system everything
651
::no one knows enough about themselves
652
::yeah well
653
::you know we go to school
654
::we learn about all these fucking things
655
::but we don't we walk away
656
::we were talking about like
657
::when's the last time you used a parallelogram
658
::yeah like everyone knows it like
659
::you know like we have parallelograms and like
660
::when the fuck have I needed a parallelogram
661
::but no one taught me about how powerful my words are
662
::no one taught me about
663
::when I have an emotional response
664
::how to regulate myself or
665
::how to notice the patterns
666
::that are happening in my world
667
::and stop blaming everyone else and go okay
668
::well why does those people keep showing up like that
669
::in my world and know what's that all about
670
::and unfortunately
671
::that's why so many people have lots to learning
672
::because their school experience wasn't productive
673
::it wasn't supportive and then
674
::people will come into our courses and
675
::bring all of those hangovers from
676
::what they experienced in school
677
::and project that we're their high school teacher
678
::or their mommy and dad mom or dad or something
679
::is that one of our pre frames is look
680
::we're just two humans
681
::trying to help you learn some cool shit
682
::to help you change your life
683
::and um
684
::and we're not your parents
685
::we're not your school teacher anything like that
686
::but though making learning fun again
687
::it does sound so cliche but it's so important
688
::because we're always either growing or dying right
689
::that's why we say when you come to breathwork
690
::it's not confronting
691
::I'm scared of what will come out of me
692
::I'm like
693
::I'm more scared of what your life is gonna be like
694
::if you keep holding it
695
::scary and not to know what's in there yeah
696
::and you know and I think that's probably
697
::one of the biggest things we have
698
::at our at our events
699
::so like making killing fun like you said before
700
::like the trauma doesn't have to be scary
701
::like you've already had the scary moment
702
::that the trauma really happened
703
::you know something yeah now we're gonna break it
704
::and I think this is a big thing as well
705
::like one thing
706
::a hammer in my course is show me your problem yeah
707
::like I this is not a downplaying your experience
708
::this is not a downplaying how you feel in the moment
709
::but for a lot of people we're building this reality
710
::out of something
711
::that is literally a neurological experience
712
::of physical experience and then we build a label on it
713
::we build a whole reality around
714
::and build an identity out of it
715
::but like no one of them work with this
716
::now to show me their actual problem
717
::they'll point at their body they'll point at their head
718
::they'll walk into the space
719
::they'll draw on the ground and go
720
::oh look at this
721
::and I go well
722
::there's nothing wrong with that
723
::it's what you think and feel about that
724
::that's the association you have to it
725
::it's the story you tell yourself
726
::it's the beliefs
727
::and all of the things you're making that mean
728
::but it's literally a
729
::you're sitting in a chair as an adult
730
::you're lying on the floor as an adult
731
::or even if you're younger than that
732
::like it is you playing a movie in your mind
733
::that's bringing up the emotions
734
::yeah you're totally safe right now
735
::it's just
736
::you keep replaying the worst part of your movie
737
::yeah and you haven't
738
::you haven't zoomed out the context
739
::you haven't seen how
740
::that was vital and important in your journey
741
::you haven't seen how that built your character
742
::and was vital in your growth
743
::you haven't seen how without that
744
::you wouldn't be where you are today
745
::so you haven't taken the learnings and lessons
746
::so you just your mind and body keep showing it to you
747
::cause there's something to learn there
748
::but you're making it mean that you're a bad person
749
::or you're not good enough or anything like that
750
::and once the people can actually witness it
751
::be present with it
752
::the cave they fear to enter
753
::holds the treasures they seek
754
::and with the light of their awareness
755
::the I call them shadow monsters
756
::you know and you wake up in the midnight uh
757
::there's a monster in the room
758
::turn the light on it disappears
759
::when you actually at present and witness your
760
::you know illusions of a problem
761
::they they transform they disappear
762
::and I love how you called it transformative work
763
::because it's changing the energy in the form of it
764
::you liberate the energy and then you can create new
765
::and so for a lot of people
766
::just actually realizing that
767
::the stories they told themselves
768
::the associations to have are just basically
769
::just about to say that word
770
::it's the associations because what if anxiety is good
771
::yeah what do you mean anxiety is not good
772
::it's a problem I've doctor told me this and I'm like
773
::we like to call it victim mindset yeah
774
::and I'm like the more you sit in victim mindset
775
::the more you ruminate on your problems
776
::the more you ruminate in your the more the symptoms
777
::the self killing prophecy that dig the hole yeah
778
::that's right people want to hold on to that label
779
::and I'm like yeah
780
::I'm like you don't have depression
781
::you got depression symptoms and they're like
782
::they get triggered
783
::that's so triggered by cause people wanna hold that
784
::they wanted to make it me
785
::so I said what if it didn't mean that hmm
786
::what if what if
787
::your nervous system was just trying to protect you
788
::yes from things that had happened to you
789
::and and it's like
790
::what this is so when I first ever did breath work
791
::like nine people in my kitchen
792
::then I did like 16 at a local hall
793
::and I used to go on about the nervous system
794
::and Kirsty used to hate it because I go
795
::when egg lying in a gazelle
796
::is that cause we're just part of beings right
797
::with a big extra conscious reptilian brain and a lion
798
::and then the angle
799
::and then the heart rate goes up and it runs away
800
::and it goes to find safety in the bush
801
::and now it doesn't it feels anxiety every anytime
802
::it's maybe where the lion may come and yeah
803
::blah blah blah
804
::and it's like it is all just to help you yes
805
::we have symptoms and I tell people
806
::you don't have anxiety what do you mean
807
::it's like they put their uh
808
::their labels in a trophy cabinet
809
::yeah and they wanna be like
810
::I have this
811
::and I literally had a lady one day tell me like
812
::how dare you say I don't have this bar
813
::but I'm like if you wanna have it you can have it
814
::have it put it in a trophy case yeah
815
::I said but don't you wanna not have it
816
::well I do have it and I said
817
::well the accounts and I ams and like you said
818
::the words and with that's what we do
819
::a lot of words sorts of people
820
::self talk is absolutely everything
821
::if you look in the mirror every day and say
822
::I have anxiety I have anxiety
823
::what happens after fucking 30 days
824
::you look at yourself your heart rate goes up
825
::and then it becomes it becomes an identity
826
::like I am an anxious person
827
::and then they build it becomes who they are
828
::but what if you versus what they have
829
::I like to say is what you do
830
::cause you do emotions you don't have them
831
::it's a mental process it's a association
832
::it's a trigger it's something that's
833
::you're doing it in your nervous system
834
::and once they realise that
835
::they've been in the same place
836
::where something bad happened before
837
::their body is firing the coping mechanisms
838
::stuck in a loop yeah
839
::or they're replaying a mental
840
::image of something going wrong
841
::or they're showing that thing that they messed up
842
::conscious yeah
843
::it's they doing it and once they realize that they can
844
::they can undo it because they're not anxious 24 7
845
::like there's times of the day where they're
846
::they're not anxious yes
847
::so do you wanna say focused on that
848
::or they focused on the small percentage of the day
849
::where they do it and then blow it out of proportion
850
::and make it become an identity
851
::it's definitely just like when you talk to smokers
852
::they tell you how much of the day they're a non smoker
853
::and they realise they're actually a non smoker
854
::more than they're a smoker
855
::even people that smoke multiple packs
856
::a day only smoke couple hours a day
857
::like so they're actually a non smoker
858
::more than they're a smoker
859
::do you know what I mean yeah
860
::yeah the idea of the identity of the anxiety
861
::being in a cabinet like
862
::we do have a society at the moment
863
::where people feel so severely insignificant
864
::they're not maybe fulfilling their purpose
865
::not doing what they wanna be doing
866
::one of our six human needs is the need for significance
867
::and unfortunately sometimes
868
::the only way people can that is through the diagnosis
869
::uh I have this
870
::and so the idea of like secondary gain
871
::where the gain of the problem outweighs the pain of it
872
::is so rife with people who are experiencing like
873
::situations and you always as a coach
874
::kind of have to zoom out and go
875
::what is the benefit what are they benefiting
876
::well
877
::maybe they've been in a position in their childhood
878
::where they were made to feel so small
879
::so insignificant
880
::and the only time they got love was when they were sick
881
::hundred percent so now that's exactly what we um yeah
882
::we talked about like
883
::sometimes people get that attention
884
::you know when you see a girl
885
::put up half naked photos on Instagram
886
::that's where she gets the attention
887
::that's where she associates that attention with love
888
::the same thing with mental health
889
::I I know for a fact
890
::that I used to get more attention from my parents
891
::when I was naughty
892
::yes than when I was good yes
893
::so what was I 90% of the time I wasn't feeling loved
894
::I wasn't feel like I was getting attention
895
::my parents were drinkin alright
896
::I'll go and smash some shit
897
::I'll go and fuckin swear I'll go and do something
898
::and even though I'm in trouble and it feels wrong
899
::I've got attention right
900
::yes but good or bad
901
::what are the um
902
::what I was gonna say was what are the six things
903
::uh certainty and uncertainty
904
::certainty in variety uh
905
::significance love
906
::connection and growth growth
907
::yeah growth contribution
908
::yeah what did you call those
909
::the human the human needs Tony Robbins talks about yeah
910
::yeah yeah
911
::and what you just said then
912
::about what you did to get attention
913
::so it's you know
914
::that's huge
915
::I built another model that you guys will do when you do
916
::masters it's called the Alicia Rob Models Wank
917
::Wank Wank
918
::cause like you know
919
::it started with what
920
::hyphenated his name with Tony Robbins yeah
921
::cause like I watch Tony Robbins and watch what he did
922
::but I don't just watch I'm like
923
::what is he actually doing here
924
::yeah so if you've seen
925
::if you've seen like um
926
::I'm not your guru he asked specific line of questioning
927
::like which parent did you
928
::attention did you crave the most
929
::yes and what
930
::who do you have to be to do that
931
::yeah which is cool
932
::but then also it creates shadow
933
::cause if you fixate on what you need to be
934
::to get attention
935
::you also spit off half your personality
936
::and you suppress the other half yourself
937
::that's right so that was like okay
938
::the shadow elements there
939
::but there's also the bee do have energy
940
::and then also the other parents
941
::and anyone to play the role
942
::so I build a bigger model for what Tony did really well
943
::I was like well
944
::there's all this other shit we don't know
945
::so I think at the last hypno
946
::at the last Masters we ran
947
::a couple of students were like wow
948
::this is literally everything
949
::you ask these couple of questions
950
::and you just unpack someone's core identity
951
::and core personality and motivations and drivers
952
::literally you build your whole life around
953
::trying to get the attention from the parents
954
::and suppressing the parts of you that don't get it
955
::and then you create the shadow elements
956
::and you attract partners that are the
957
::literally
958
::the shit that you don't wanna own in yourself
959
::or friends and family they're like man
960
::this just basically is my life on a piece of paper
961
::and so it's so powerful
962
::looking at that and seeing how you
963
::like flowers grow towards light
964
::and so they wanna you know
965
::see me in my goods
966
::good light and they will push all the other step
967
::but you're all of that yes
968
::and so when you can bring it in and own it
969
::it doesn't own you anymore
970
::it's not controlling you it's not directing you
971
::you can be the villain and you can be the hero
972
::you can be naughty and you can be nice and you're not
973
::you're not letting yourself be
974
::you know in a little box anymore
975
::and I think for a lot of people
976
::that program is what fucks them up
977
::the religious program is societal programming
978
::the right wrong good or bad
979
::they they try to fit this little model
980
::and that they have so many double binds in their head
981
::where if they do one thing
982
::they're wrong
983
::but they do the other thing they're wrong
984
::so they can't win either way
985
::and for a lot of people
986
::they shut down and they don't know what to do
987
::and so they just give up
988
::and that's not a great place to be
989
::I I think that's really interesting
990
::so um
991
::I started doing some work recently Brianna May yeah
992
::she came into a mastermind
993
::she did shed a work hmm
994
::wow blew my fucking mind yeah
995
::like I would
996
::I looked at both and we're in the mastermind
997
::which is for our Webers assessment
998
::and I'm looking at one eye
999
::I'm actually selfish and he's like
1000
::what do you mean I said
1001
::because everyone says to me like you're so unselfish
1002
::you do all these things to everyone else
1003
::and you're a great mum and all these things
1004
::and I'm like I know deep down I'm selfish
1005
::but I couldn't own that
1006
::because the identity of you're not selfish
1007
::so how I can't be that
1008
::so when he even if anyone said that I'm like
1009
::I'm not selfish well then I'm like
1010
::the more I start saying I'm actually selfish
1011
::and I'm actually lazy sometimes as well yeah
1012
::I was like the freak
1013
::like the chains were like loosening and I was like
1014
::just coming off me on my own
1015
::fuck it I'm all of these things
1016
::and I'm now happy with all of it
1017
::so you gotta face your shadow yeah
1018
::when you own both parts is absolutely incredible
1019
::when I think that's what you know what
1020
::you're just from out there
1021
::and you can't be one without the other
1022
::you can't be one without the other
1023
::and I never got there until
1024
::you know
1025
::I've been in this place for so long and I still like
1026
::you know you
1027
::that's why I love drawing
1028
::masterminds with other people
1029
::during other courses covering your own alias
1030
::covering your own alias in your shit
1031
::and I think it's um
1032
::so incredible and Brianna May was absolutely amazing
1033
::one thing I wanna ask you on hypno
1034
::so and I'll put this in the show
1035
::nice for everyone to see as well
1036
::you did that demonstration with me with the choking hmm
1037
::can you explain how can I have had that level of fear
1038
::that controlled my life yeah
1039
::for that long
1040
::and by long I mean years and just for context
1041
::everybody that's listening
1042
::I mean it's so bad that I literally
1043
::as soon as Harvey start eating
1044
::I would go to my room and pray to God
1045
::he wasn't gonna die I'll be shaking
1046
::I'll be like bro
1047
::please watch him watch him um
1048
::the
1049
::the fear was so real that he was gonna die when he ate
1050
::um and my body would just respond
1051
::and I'd be literally in room praying to God
1052
::so how can you in a I think was about 30 minutes
1053
::change my whole life in 30 minutes
1054
::well I can't
1055
::you can right
1056
::so I can just be the door for you to
1057
::to to see what you need to see right
1058
::and so change doesn't take long
1059
::if you got the right tools
1060
::and you got the right techniques
1061
::it can be instant right
1062
::you getting ready to change
1063
::you being in the right scenario
1064
::feeling safe then being open
1065
::and that's No. 1 like if you
1066
::if you feel safe like if you don't feel safe
1067
::you're gonna just do what you've done
1068
::that keep you alive and survive yeah
1069
::you run the coping mechanism
1070
::you run the same strategy yeah
1071
::the second you've got someone that can
1072
::help you to feel safe and you feel open
1073
::magic can happen right
1074
::so that's number one
1075
::obviously one thing as well
1076
::I was just demoing one 1 technique
1077
::we could use any technique to get you there yeah
1078
::but what we did was
1079
::kind of unpack and uncover some key associations
1080
::you had
1081
::some different events that it was all linked to
1082
::and then we found out you know
1083
::some of the things that were going on
1084
::and then we found basically
1085
::what you needed to be able to handle those situations
1086
::some emotional resources
1087
::some different ways of seeing that
1088
::and so they're basically
1089
::if you imagine cut and paste problem
1090
::solution in your nervous system
1091
::we brought them together yeah
1092
::so we started associating the motions
1093
::and the resources you need to the situations and times
1094
::you needed them so now when you're around your family
1095
::your friends everyone eating
1096
::you now feel these new emotions which are safe love
1097
::connection instead of the fear
1098
::whatever and so in a reductionistic simplistic way yeah
1099
::we're we're changing the associations to the stimuluses
1100
::because your body
1101
::had the stimulus of seeing family members eat
1102
::and it had a trigger of whatever
1103
::and then it created feelings of fear
1104
::whatever in the past right
1105
::yeah and so then we
1106
::we completely rewire that
1107
::imagine unplugging the old stuff
1108
::plugging in new stuff
1109
::now when those things start happening new
1110
::new emotions new triggers are happening new more yeah
1111
::more resourceful ones yeah
1112
::and then you now think and feel different
1113
::when you have the same stimulus
1114
::that's actually the definition of learning
1115
::you have the same stimulus
1116
::but you actually act differently
1117
::so your body mind just un hypnotize
1118
::yourself and unlearn what you learn
1119
::and relearn a new way of doing it amazing
1120
::do you wanna track more money into your life
1121
::then this is for you
1122
::are you ready to fuck off procrastination
1123
::then this is for you
1124
::you need more sales in your business
1125
::this is for you
1126
::do you wanna feel more successful and confident
1127
::this is for you hi
1128
::I'm boy jury hi
1129
::I'm Kirsty Watingham
1130
::and welcome to believe in your breath
1131
::where we breathe success
1132
::if you wanna work with us further
1133
::you wanna join we Breathe Success
1134
::it is designed to take you from where you are now
1135
::to where you wanna be in 12 months or less
1136
::if you're ready to 10 extra life
1137
::and step into the ultimate version of yourself
1138
::that you know you can be
1139
::then this program's for you your transformation awaits
1140
::and and like you know
1141
::I still now if I get a little bit of the angst
1142
::I will sing that song Lollipop Lollipop
1143
::how good of resources laughter
1144
::like people say one day you'll look back and laugh
1145
::I'm like why don't we just speed it up
1146
::let's make today the day you look back and laugh
1147
::and so I'm really big on using humour in my teaching
1148
::slash therapy we on um
1149
::Tony Robbins
1150
::where he gets the suicidal guy with the red shoes
1151
::so I'm not your guru yeah yeah
1152
::I watch that every time on a plane yeah
1153
::and he's like why is suicidal
1154
::and he's like but he like he's like crying and stuff
1155
::and then Tony Robins goes through a bit of things
1156
::and then the guy starts to laugh and he goes
1157
::stop fucking laughing you're supposed to be suicidal
1158
::then he laughs more and like that
1159
::that's sort of the
1160
::more of the shit we're doing on stage
1161
::like it's like hey
1162
::there there you go
1163
::it's not that bad yeah
1164
::like let's let's put a little bit of light
1165
::and have a new association to your problem
1166
::and I just wanna say
1167
::cause before we spoke about how like
1168
::you know
1169
::putting your anxiety or your depression or PTSD or ADHD
1170
::or whatever symptoms you have on
1171
::into a label and a word
1172
::and putting it up and owning it and ruminating on it
1173
::yeah the symptoms are real
1174
::and and for someone like me and you Paul
1175
::we can sit there and go I
1176
::I'm the same I I
1177
::I fucking couldn't leave my house
1178
::I used to wake up in the middle of the night
1179
::with panic attacks yes
1180
::and my life was perfect at the time yeah
1181
::sometimes when your life's not good
1182
::at least you can go well anxiety
1183
::yeah and
1184
::and the number one thing that we use that
1185
::believe in your breath now
1186
::every time we open a vent
1187
::I say get out your note pen
1188
::pen write down two words
1189
::get curious yeah
1190
::whenever you got a fucking problem yeah
1191
::get curious about it and now what do you mean
1192
::and I'm like alright you got anxiety
1193
::you cannot be curious and anxious at the same time yeah
1194
::you cannot be angry and grateful at the same times
1195
::trying to have a new association or out of anxious
1196
::why am I anxious what I've been eating this week
1197
::who have been hanging around here
1198
::what pressures do I have yeah
1199
::what's coming up what might have triggered me
1200
::why am I triggered what's happening here
1201
::what's happening there
1202
::what can I do to maybe less lessen these symptoms
1203
::what can I do to increase them
1204
::what like write down like fuckin at a 24 page book
1205
::just get everything out
1206
::get super clear and curious about what's going on
1207
::and then your body will find but by sitting and going
1208
::I'm this and I'm that and I'm really this
1209
::and I'm gonna be even more this tomorrow
1210
::and then next week I've got that job interview
1211
::I'm gonna be even more like
1212
::you're ruminating
1213
::when you probably start googling your symptoms
1214
::and yeah well
1215
::I think that like basis of what you just did there is
1216
::people just replaying the same thought
1217
::and thinking they're thinking
1218
::right so most people like ah
1219
::I'm anxious they don't
1220
::they're not thinking that's not a new thought
1221
::that is replaying the same tape of the same thing
1222
::over and again and they think I am actually
1223
::but then they find more reinforcing
1224
::what you're getting them to do
1225
::with all of the questions
1226
::or is actually getting them to actually think
1227
::thinking requires searching
1228
::looking yeah
1229
::expanding what are this what is that
1230
::how is this
1231
::your brain starts going from the pattern you're running
1232
::and you're starting to open up the neurology
1233
::open up the psychology open up the physiology
1234
::cause now instead of just fixating on the
1235
::five things in the life that are really shit
1236
::they're starting to expand out
1237
::and see 10 other things that they didn't think about
1238
::then 20 other things and now the
1239
::you know big problem they had in context of everything
1240
::is not really as big as they thought
1241
::and so just stimulating that thinking
1242
::that searching magic cause people just don't
1243
::they get stuck in the groove
1244
::and they only run the same math
1245
::exactly yeah it's like it's like well
1246
::why would I wanna get curious about my anxiety
1247
::then I explain it and they're like
1248
::holy fuck and then people message me after event
1249
::and I do that in the first five minutes
1250
::we come out on stage we do an introduction and I said
1251
::let's get curious if you're gonna take away anything
1252
::from the next two hours spending uh
1253
::two days spending 12 hours with us
1254
::take away getting fucking curious about whatever
1255
::everything in life you're angry
1256
::you're angry
1257
::instead of fucking staying angry and blaming
1258
::blaming whatever made you angry
1259
::how about we get fucking
1260
::curious about where the anger is coming from
1261
::let's go deeper let's ask the right questions
1262
::and I think
1263
::hypno is literally someone doing that for you
1264
::and as you said
1265
::the biggest change for you was self hypnosis
1266
::yes you started to learn to do your own
1267
::and I'm like
1268
::that's why I tell people that we're not healers
1269
::we're not fuck people come to us say
1270
::thank you for so much for changing my life
1271
::and I'm like thank you for
1272
::stepping into the space and doing the fucking work
1273
::what we we like
1274
::we give you a new set of keys to your new Lamborghini
1275
::but you gotta drive that fucking Lamborghini
1276
::and you get to choose go left right
1277
::go back to Honda Civic
1278
::or you can go back to whatever one you want
1279
::you know and so that's what I truly believe like
1280
::you know in the space
1281
::a good leader leads they want like
1282
::I don't want clients to be coming back
1283
::and back and back
1284
::I want them and I wanna create leaders
1285
::because when you do your own healing
1286
::as you did what did you do
1287
::you wanna get a space to help other people
1288
::that's because you know the sort of sound fucking work
1289
::and like the same thing with us
1290
::like when I did my first breathwork session
1291
::which took me a year I might add
1292
::while he was doing it for a year
1293
::and everyone else having results around him
1294
::it was mind blowing like for the first time my life
1295
::98% of people in our space
1296
::it was releasing it was yeah do that
1297
::they have this big thing and they're like
1298
::how the fuck do I do breathwork
1299
::like yeah I was like
1300
::the world needs to know this
1301
::because I had been in so much internal pain
1302
::for so many years
1303
::and I haven't been doing my self development journey
1304
::we started 19 I picked up my first book
1305
::you can Heal your life by Louise Hayes
1306
::wanting to be a bit better person
1307
::and a different person cause I was pregnant
1308
::and I didn't want my son to go through
1309
::the long list of shit that I had my whole life
1310
::and I didn't want him to have my programming
1311
::and my parents programming
1312
::I wanted to be different so I pulled out that book
1313
::and I was the only person in my family doing that
1314
::no one did this and so I think that is um
1315
::that's the game changer and that's why we're such
1316
::you know great people in this space um
1317
::speaking about people in this space
1318
::like obviously we're both couples in business
1319
::and I think it's a magic um
1320
::I think we can all agree
1321
::that it comes with a polarity of fucking hardship
1322
::and sometimes it's like
1323
::fuck would be easier if it was just me doing this or
1324
::you know obviously
1325
::obviously some balance
1326
::but there's obviously a lot of good
1327
::I think we both share a lot of the same
1328
::similar roles in a power couple
1329
::and we both bring light where there's dark
1330
::and I think one of the main things we say is like
1331
::a relationship and a biz and a partnership isn't 50 50
1332
::sometimes Kirsty's 70 and I'm 30
1333
::and she's gonna show that extra up
1334
::sometimes I'm low and she's high and whatever
1335
::like it's all about you know
1336
::and I think the best thing for me and Kirsty is like
1337
::integrating through your program
1338
::like in our breaks we're like
1339
::how do you feel about this and how's that
1340
::and did you like the way they did that
1341
::and what confused you so we're integrating together
1342
::so we're like on steroids doing work yeah
1343
::because like
1344
::we went away and did our breathwork training together
1345
::so we come back and
1346
::there's been a couple of times where
1347
::Casey's going through some hardship
1348
::I already threw a breathwork session
1349
::and it's hard to drop your ego
1350
::and let your partner hold space for you
1351
::and we can do that now and I know like a lot of people
1352
::like even down to doing social media like
1353
::you know doing a videos like get out the room
1354
::like I don't want you to see what I'm about to do
1355
::hey guys hey
1356
::and then get out like it's embarrassing
1357
::like we literally like her
1358
::she's like
1359
::I'll hold the camera for you like like to cheer me up
1360
::like make me feel better like
1361
::you know you got this say like
1362
::like you always do it to Paul as well
1363
::yeah and I think that's a magic part as well
1364
::but I think holding space for each other
1365
::but I think you guys can agree
1366
::if you don't grow together
1367
::you will grow apart yes
1368
::and I think you guys been together for 10 years
1369
::we've done almost six now
1370
::is it ten it feels like 10 days yeah
1371
::it also feels like 10 lifetimes
1372
::yeah it does feel like that
1373
::but my question here is that like as a couple
1374
::what are the biggest challenges that you've had
1375
::as not just a couple but in business
1376
::and then how what
1377
::what what
1378
::what tools and what brings you back to the love
1379
::to the business and and keeps you on track
1380
::so basically
1381
::biggest challenges that you guys over have to
1382
::have to like come across that is maybe repetitive
1383
::or may it was one thing five years ago
1384
::and what what gets you through those hard times as a
1385
::as a power couple cool
1386
::I wanna start off by saying
1387
::thank you so much for sharing that
1388
::because people don't always know
1389
::like the dynamic of everything
1390
::but couples that grow together flow together
1391
::and you guys said that like
1392
::when you literally level up together
1393
::it's it creates another thing
1394
::and we love studying together
1395
::we like we have gone
1396
::on multiple trainings and multiple things
1397
::where we have done that
1398
::but also we're getting better at
1399
::you know
1400
::going on our own journey and doing things separate
1401
::which then when we come back together
1402
::it's important to yeah
1403
::we've had some really fascinating situations where
1404
::when I've gone
1405
::I tend to like go and do my own like spiritual things
1406
::I'm gonna go to Egypt on my own for a few weeks
1407
::and the end of the year and pools done
1408
::like really deep personal development courses
1409
::where we'll actually feel our own vibration shifting
1410
::and our consciousness shifting
1411
::I remember one day
1412
::you were at a course in Sydney for a week or two
1413
::really deep dive course going into all sorts of stuff
1414
::I don't even know what the course was
1415
::but everything you were sharing with me was profound
1416
::and day by day
1417
::I could feel my thought patterns changing
1418
::and I messaged him on one of the days and I said
1419
::what did you just learn about
1420
::and he said oh
1421
::we learn about this polarity
1422
::we learn about that we learn about this and I said
1423
::I literally just had these ideas drop in
1424
::and I've never thought this way before
1425
::thank you for going and doing the work
1426
::because it's when you're that
1427
::we know that we're each other's shadow
1428
::yeah and I know that our understanding of each other
1429
::anything that frustrates me about him
1430
::I know is my stuff and we own that
1431
::and I think that's been a big growth
1432
::thing for both of us but also
1433
::we both had relationships before now
1434
::where it wasn't this way and so we both have you know
1435
::relationship
1436
::and connection is one of our highest values
1437
::and we always come back to each other
1438
::I wanna say Bon Kirsty one of my biggest challenges is
1439
::and I've said this to you before
1440
::I don't know if you ever went to stay at like
1441
::a friend's house when you're at school
1442
::had a sleepover or something like that
1443
::I said sometimes
1444
::I feel like I'm at my friend's house for a sleepover
1445
::and I've got to go and do my homework
1446
::because I have to go and like
1447
::go and work but I love our work and sometimes though
1448
::it does feel like pulling myself away
1449
::and I just wanna have fun and play and and
1450
::and then we also realize that our souls met
1451
::because we have a purpose in this world
1452
::yeah and we believe in that vision
1453
::and we come back to that vision
1454
::and so sometimes it's just the the little
1455
::you know
1456
::aspect of me that just wants to go and play and yeah
1457
::I think that's definitely one of the biggest challenges
1458
::we've been obviously
1459
::lucky enough to put in a lot of hard work
1460
::to see our business grow yeah
1461
::it's not luck yeah
1462
::well you know
1463
::it's we've definitely elements of you know
1464
::you can't just say it's all whatever like yeah
1465
::there has to be some element of
1466
::you know things as well
1467
::some people work harder and don't have the same success
1468
::whatever yeah
1469
::but um
1470
::seeing how much like we wanna spend that time together
1471
::and then the business becomes its own beast almost
1472
::and it takes so much and demand so much of you that no
1473
::we don't want our relationship to be the afterthought
1474
::yes like
1475
::and so sometimes when we're in delivery mode
1476
::we're in build mode we're in whatever
1477
::like you do have to shift gears
1478
::and we're
1479
::sometimes more business partners than we are couple
1480
::yup and like we always have the the
1481
::you know partnership of our relationship first
1482
::but sometimes
1483
::the energy disperse of that does take over
1484
::and you know sometimes I feel like
1485
::we're blessed for the business we have
1486
::but also we would you know
1487
::sometimes
1488
::the balance of how much we just can go walk on a beach
1489
::versus go be
1490
::be doing the delivery is is a is a thing
1491
::and that's a huge challenge
1492
::and then you know
1493
::managing the complexities of a growing business like
1494
::you know we never had a business of the size that
1495
::ours has got to and all those kind of things
1496
::but I think we're lucky enough that
1497
::our communication has been fantastic yeah
1498
::like I know that one of the biggest challenges
1499
::for me in my life and why I teach language
1500
::is because growing up
1501
::I never got shown how to communicate with years
1502
::where in my family people did not in the same house
1503
::talk to each other for years
1504
::and like so like
1505
::I know what it's like to exist in the same
1506
::world as someone and just
1507
::you know pass them by in the hallway
1508
::and just pretend it didn't happen kind of thing right
1509
::yeah super weird
1510
::and so in previous relationships
1511
::sometimes it'd be the unsaid thing
1512
::that'd be the hard conversation to have
1513
::but I'm so blessed that Julia
1514
::has helped me to feel safe
1515
::talking about anything going anywhere
1516
::and just like
1517
::knowing that that is the way to do the relationship
1518
::not hide things not pretend it didn't happen
1519
::but bring it to forefront
1520
::talk about it work through as a team
1521
::yeah and do it as a team and share the energy together
1522
::versus no
1523
::put it away and pretend it didn't happen kind of thing
1524
::then you can grow from it
1525
::oh it's huge
1526
::and I feel like that you're ignoring growth otherwise
1527
::yeah and I feel like we don't have that many arguments
1528
::because of that yes
1529
::like I feel like
1530
::because you don't have time to build resentment
1531
::yeah exactly
1532
::you can't build resentment
1533
::if you're constantly going over
1534
::here's a little something
1535
::but I think when you said communication there
1536
::my my thing is what I've learnt is like
1537
::when couples come to me like yeah
1538
::we communicate and I'm like
1539
::communicate is fuck all
1540
::like two people talking to each other's communication
1541
::it it
1542
::it means nothing
1543
::if there's not two people understanding each other yeah
1544
::yeah one thing me and Kirsty can do
1545
::and I know you guys really good at it as well
1546
::is take each other shoes off and swap em yeah alright
1547
::you've got this
1548
::you got that and then like Kirsty when she got with me
1549
::I got I like you know
1550
::ADHD symptoms through the roof
1551
::and I have a lot to say on ADHD with it well
1552
::that's another podcast but my
1553
::she went and read books and
1554
::podcast and things on ADHD to try and understand me
1555
::because for her to come to me and and
1556
::and and say what she wanted to say
1557
::it was a communication yeah
1558
::it was a conversation hmm
1559
::but it wasn't gonna be a healthy one
1560
::because it was all like
1561
::you do this and you do that and she goes well
1562
::maybe I need to understand how his brain works
1563
::so she went and did it and then she come back and goes
1564
::I get it hmm
1565
::understand it
1566
::but also you need to put measure I will understand you
1567
::but you have to reciprocate and you gotta do the work
1568
::do the work
1569
::and that this thing when we breathe success
1570
::we have a really high rate
1571
::I hate to say this of people coming in
1572
::and then breakups happen within months
1573
::because a woman comes in and
1574
::or a man or a man and does the work and they grow
1575
::and then their their partners just left behind
1576
::and if the partner is trying to pull them back down
1577
::like you used to be cooler yeah
1578
::you know all you wanna do is go breath
1579
::work and go to gym and do all these courses
1580
::and like we used to drink or we used to do this
1581
::and your friend circle does the same thing yeah
1582
::trying to pull you back down
1583
::but the thing is like
1584
::if a lot of times as well on a positive note
1585
::the guy or the girl come in and be like hey
1586
::my partner's done a lot of change with you guys
1587
::like I wanna do it as well yeah
1588
::I don't know how to approach them like what do I do
1589
::and I'm like I love this
1590
::and then my favorite thing is
1591
::my favorite thing is when we do events
1592
::and couples come in together yes
1593
::I was just gonna say I'm so
1594
::so stoked that you both did the courses together
1595
::and that's why we offer pretty generous
1596
::couples discounts yeah
1597
::as well because we know the value in that exact piece
1598
::yeah and I just got like
1599
::a shiver when you talked about
1600
::the relationships that do
1601
::break up
1602
::because it was actually a workshop that I went to
1603
::and the facilitator said something so powerful
1604
::that I couldn't unhear it
1605
::and I went home from that workshop
1606
::and I left my marriage wow
1607
::and so you're freeing souls because for me and my
1608
::when I was 27
1609
::and I've been with my ex husband since I was 16
1610
::I didn't know anything else right
1611
::my soul needed to be freed
1612
::yeah in that moment
1613
::and I would have faced soul death if I'd stayed
1614
::and that's what happens when people choose fear
1615
::and the darkness and the same
1616
::and the comfort zone over
1617
::do you know what my soul wants to live this life
1618
::and I wanna pay this forward
1619
::and the people that are being brave enough to say
1620
::I want more for my life
1621
::the ripple effect that you're having with people
1622
::that's massive and yeah
1623
::obviously in an ideal world or relationships
1624
::both couples would evolve together
1625
::but what's that ecards always saying
1626
::you know relationships aren't designed to make us happy
1627
::they're designed to make us conscious
1628
::yes and that's all our commitment is to each other
1629
::like I remember
1630
::a lot of people get into relationships and they say oh
1631
::please never change stay the same
1632
::yeah and we just look at each other and go
1633
::please change keep evolving
1634
::yeah let's keep going
1635
::keep evolving we actually said on the way here that um
1636
::a friend of ours was like
1637
::you know my partner never
1638
::you know whenever I'm feeling overweight or or
1639
::or this and that he always is real supportive
1640
::but I might Kirsty pushes me to fucking grow yeah
1641
::right
1642
::and if I'm being in a victim mindset and I'm doing this
1643
::she's like alright
1644
::you've had your downtime that's fucking enough yeah
1645
::and and my ego wants to push back on her but
1646
::but she but she's like
1647
::she's like I've booked you in this breath word
1648
::you're going to Egypt by yourself
1649
::like whatever the thing is like like
1650
::like and and she cause we're she's not insecure
1651
::she's like jump on a plane
1652
::go out the fuckin Himalayans and
1653
::and sing from the mountains do like
1654
::I'll book it in I'll pay for it
1655
::I'll do whatever the fuck we have to do
1656
::because she cares for my growth
1657
::a lot of couples I think
1658
::are so insecure
1659
::that they actually don't wanna see their partner grow
1660
::they don't want them to do the work
1661
::because it's scary to see they um
1662
::and especially like narcissistic behaviour
1663
::obviously we've all got a narcissist inside of us but
1664
::um you know what awakens that is losing control
1665
::when their partner starts to grow and freedom
1666
::they got these new friends and this new environment
1667
::they start to lose weight and look good
1668
::and feel good and dress nicer
1669
::and they walk around more confident
1670
::the other partner feels like
1671
::who the fuck do you think you are
1672
::and try and bash em down more
1673
::because they're feeling still small
1674
::and I feel like that's a problem that couples
1675
::a lot like have like
1676
::I want Kirsty to be the best
1677
::look the best feel the best
1678
::she wants me to be the best feel the best be the best
1679
::look the best
1680
::so it's always about building your fuckiest confidence
1681
::as I always say and like grow to a team
1682
::not a fucking that's not a fucking
1683
::it's a competition it's not a competition
1684
::and I think that's half the problem
1685
::and you know I love what it's before
1686
::like sometimes it is when you're
1687
::when your partners and your business owners yeah
1688
::and we have kids on top of that yeah
1689
::exactly trying to um sometimes make it all work
1690
::you don't always get a right
1691
::we don't and and we definitely don't always get a right
1692
::and you know
1693
::there's one thing that we've been saying to implement
1694
::and because I'm mainly the person just all the
1695
::the real hard work behind a thing
1696
::or just like shows up and does the show
1697
::like is the girling
1698
::you know does the social events of that
1699
::I mean we've got our parts
1700
::but we do
1701
::my thing is this is that I always found out hard
1702
::I would be hyper focused
1703
::and I'll be singing full masculine energy
1704
::now I would like to change masculine to fierce
1705
::because I think it's fierce energy
1706
::I'm a boss bitch mode
1707
::don't fuck with me and get my shit done alright
1708
::that's what's happening
1709
::and
1710
::and then Boris are saying to me alright
1711
::you're not to come home straight away
1712
::you finish and you have an hour by yourself
1713
::you go do a massage your breath work
1714
::you wind down go to beach
1715
::have a coconut do whatever you need to soften
1716
::and I think like you know
1717
::I mean I don't know your dynamic and all that
1718
::but do you sometimes find it hard to leave work at work
1719
::and then come home and be switch off
1720
::the couple oh
1721
::well we work from home
1722
::we work from home so same
1723
::it's I mean just the lines are super blurred
1724
::yes and for me
1725
::I've been running my own business for a long time
1726
::and so I never like
1727
::when I was navigating my own life and whatever
1728
::it didn't really matter
1729
::but obviously in in our sort of dynamic
1730
::being blessed to work from home
1731
::most of the time is awesome
1732
::but then again you could be sitting on the couch
1733
::you'd be sitting in bed
1734
::you could be sitting in any room
1735
::and the work goes with you
1736
::yes and so yeah
1737
::you know it's with you
1738
::trying to make sure that you actually have a off time
1739
::on time yeah
1740
::it's a constant battle and it changes all the time
1741
::and I think I'm a bit more like
1742
::I think I've kind of trained myself to be okay with it
1743
::yeah but I know for Juliette
1744
::that is from a on off time in any I turn my phone off
1745
::yeah yeah
1746
::that helps yeah
1747
::as soon as I turn my phone off
1748
::it's almost like as an external reflection of my work
1749
::and I turn that off
1750
::and then I do my stuff around the house
1751
::and things like that
1752
::or go and see friends or whatever it is
1753
::but it's a constant balance
1754
::and I'm not saying that we get it always perfect
1755
::but we always come back to
1756
::you know what's our intention
1757
::what's our connection what are we trying to achieve
1758
::we're both really passionate about our work
1759
::so we love talking about it and it energizes us
1760
::one of my highest values is
1761
::making a difference in the world
1762
::and so yeah just talking about it lights me up
1763
::and the fact that I get to do it with my partner
1764
::is so fun uh
1765
::but yeah we definitely
1766
::I think that was thing
1767
::I'd say about three or four years ago
1768
::we were maybe in a bit of a codependent
1769
::just doing way too much stuff together
1770
::working together now we've got our own separate hobbies
1771
::and that helps as well I think that's very important
1772
::yeah cause you gotta miss each other
1773
::you gotta miss each other
1774
::and I'll come to Kirsty with things about
1775
::look at this new bands gotta say
1776
::she's like call you mate
1777
::yes okay
1778
::go call your friend like
1779
::I don't care and then
1780
::you know and then she'll come to me with business stuff
1781
::and I'm like
1782
::I don't care she's like this is your business I'm like
1783
::okay okay
1784
::like that won't work for that but you know like
1785
::like we what I tell you your employee
1786
::you are part of it yeah
1787
::I'm like I'm like we we are um
1788
::we do everything together like we're parents together
1789
::we're partners together
1790
::we live together like we travel together and um
1791
::you know I feel like we do get a lot right
1792
::not everything right and we we
1793
::but the things you don't get right
1794
::you learn from yeah but as you guys said before
1795
::like if you if you come across something
1796
::I think being different is also good yeah
1797
::because yes
1798
::we don't argue like we're pretty good at going
1799
::what do you think of this idea on the business yet
1800
::let's do it or the other person say
1801
::I don't think it's good idea because X
1802
::y and Z okay yeah
1803
::you're right and yeah
1804
::we work together but I think as a couple
1805
::it comes down to two main things
1806
::you have the same morals so morally
1807
::what you think is right or wrong aligns
1808
::and also the future
1809
::see your visions where you're going
1810
::because if one person's morals are like well
1811
::I don't care about that and you're like
1812
::well my morals highly stand for that
1813
::you gonna step on each other
1814
::and it's gonna really feel
1815
::it's gonna be resentment of frustration and then um
1816
::on the other side of that
1817
::your goals
1818
::you gotta be going in the same fucking direction
1819
::otherwise you know what I mean
1820
::and like we always like
1821
::we're like yep
1822
::Dubai USA yep this
1823
::yep that and
1824
::and like
1825
::and also I feel like we go off the energies as like
1826
::you know someone's like
1827
::yeah cool
1828
::let's go have a few drinks and then it's together
1829
::like we're always always on wine and then we're like
1830
::I know drinking for months
1831
::you know like it's always keen to do the thing
1832
::but yeah you gotta push each other to grow
1833
::but you know when we started believing your breath
1834
::I um
1835
::I literally wanted to leave FIFO and do this
1836
::and she was
1837
::the one person who supported me through everything
1838
::loved me unconditionally and she was like
1839
::I don't think it's a good idea
1840
::she was living in fear and then I was like
1841
::no I decided to rely on a man
1842
::she her story is
1843
::relying on a man didn't work for her back in the day
1844
::so she built herself strong enough to be the mom
1845
::to be the dad to be the make up
1846
::make the money then I had a baby had to rely on a man
1847
::my thing was like reflacing off fuckin you
1848
::you couldn't rely on a man here you gonna be
1849
::you gonna be a single woman
1850
::and I'm like I'm like
1851
::I wanna quit FIFO high paying
1852
::job and I wanna teach people how to breathe
1853
::and she's like what the fuck
1854
::fuck you talking about get back to work
1855
::and he and he's like I'm unhappy
1856
::and I said
1857
::didn't I give a fuck if you're unhappy or not
1858
::I was unhappy
1859
::there was a there was a misunderstanding there
1860
::we were communicating yeah
1861
::but we weren't understanding she understand me
1862
::I don't understand her I wanna do bigger things
1863
::then I did like this breathwork with her
1864
::and she was like yep
1865
::you need to be in this space
1866
::this is the most craziest thing ever
1867
::the world needs to know about this
1868
::but then the thing that was the game changer for me
1869
::in the direction of where we went
1870
::was I seen other people big people
1871
::like probably the biggest people in the game
1872
::doing breathwork travelling the world doing workshops
1873
::and I'm gonna do an Australian tour in case he's like
1874
::with what money and how and where
1875
::and I said I don't know and we had believe a label
1876
::she was running ads
1877
::she's a queen at running ads and I was like
1878
::just use your own
1879
::she's only know how to do product based not service
1880
::I said I don't care just click some buttons
1881
::put a video up of me on breathwork
1882
::cause that's his idea that's what my first
1883
::our first tour
1884
::we ever did of believing your breath was um
1885
::160 people hundred and seventy people in Gold Coast
1886
::and I'm behind the like I'm in imposter syndrome
1887
::I'm like
1888
::I've got like other breath workers attacking me saying
1889
::like
1890
::what are you doing these big ego shows for blah blah
1891
::blah and my all my other old friends think I'm crazy
1892
::cause I'm doing this breathwork
1893
::and I felt like my partner didn't really know
1894
::so apart from all that I kept going
1895
::I kept going I got on stage
1896
::I fuckin did my thing
1897
::and like I like we talk about growth
1898
::if I look back to my first session on my first show
1899
::I would cringe yeah yeah
1900
::why did you say that why did you mention this
1901
::and it's like that's what I was saying to my friend
1902
::who did the hypnotherapy course with you guys
1903
::he did his first like
1904
::hypno session with someone the other day
1905
::and he's like oh
1906
::I fucked up this sounds like good
1907
::do you feed the more you write those things down
1908
::and that's growth for the next time
1909
::because the
1910
::the moment you get to a point in your business
1911
::or your life where you like
1912
::I perfected it yeah
1913
::there's no fucking growth yeah
1914
::there's no growth and when you think that you're right
1915
::and everyone else is wrong
1916
::and you close your mind and close the chapter
1917
::and close the book the learning and the growth stops
1918
::and I might now
1919
::I open myself up to so much more failure
1920
::and so much more wrong
1921
::because I'm like every podcast and every shoulder every
1922
::every everything in our relationship
1923
::I might what we don't get right
1924
::we can have a cracker again
1925
::do you know what I mean
1926
::you when you ride your bike for the first time
1927
::you had training wheels it took you a long time
1928
::and that's what people need to realize
1929
::that just slow down and go through the mistakes and
1930
::and the difficulties and you will get there
1931
::so I'm gonna put you guys on the spot here good
1932
::but I want I wanna ask what is the No.
1933
::1 thing that you guys love about each other
1934
::Dun dun dun dun are you going first
1935
::ha ha ha ha ha just started talking
1936
::I'll let you go first
1937
::no
1938
::I only get to choose one you can choose couples wrong
1939
::no one ah okay
1940
::this would be really corny
1941
::but every single morning
1942
::I wake up and I'm not a morning person
1943
::like it takes me an hour to get into the world yeah um
1944
::I I have the craziest dreams and all this stuff
1945
::I wake up every single morning and he's holding me
1946
::and he's telling me how much he loves me
1947
::how beautiful I am
1948
::and how grateful he is to have me in his life
1949
::every single morning like every morning
1950
::I will sometimes sometimes
1951
::I don't even consciously realize it's happening yeah
1952
::and then I'll wake up and I'll just be like
1953
::what life have I created where I have some
1954
::like sometimes actually
1955
::your love makes me love myself more
1956
::oh that's so
1957
::does that make sense like he loves me so much
1958
::I feel like I know that's what you asked me
1959
::I just thought like
1960
::that was the hardest thing for me
1961
::was actually letting you in when we started
1962
::because I had you know
1963
::come divorced dated a little bit
1964
::and then I was just like this
1965
::I'm an independent woman I don't need any man
1966
::that kind of thing that we do when we're trying to heal
1967
::and your love is just like time and time again
1968
::showing up in ways that I could have never imagined
1969
::so thank you I love that
1970
::thank you I think similar
1971
::I I am not
1972
::I'm not awake in the morning
1973
::but junior has allowed me to fully just be me
1974
::as zany and as weird as that is and whatever
1975
::like I feel like I can just step into that
1976
::trust that and know that she loves me in that
1977
::and I don't have to pretend to be a certain person
1978
::to get her love
1979
::I don't have to hide parts of myself or anything
1980
::it's it's freeing
1981
::it's opening it's expanding
1982
::it's and like
1983
::you guys talked about
1984
::wanting each other to step into that more and grow
1985
::like I've never had that before
1986
::and I feel like our openness
1987
::our connection our everything is like nothing I've ever
1988
::experienced in anyone and like not only you
1989
::my best friend like totally
1990
::everything in our life is just you
1991
::on each other and with each other
1992
::and I just love you so much
1993
::and I think wanting each other to grow
1994
::and knowing that we're committed to growing as a team
1995
::is magic and I feel super safe to do that with you
1996
::I feel super open and I wanna see you shine
1997
::and I know that you want that for me
1998
::and I've never felt that like you guys said
1999
::without the hold back without the don't shine like this
2000
::but not like that or you know what I mean
2001
::it's
2002
::and we're such different people now
2003
::than we were when we met as well
2004
::and that's been really cool
2005
::like we are such different people
2006
::it changed so much crazy actually
2007
::so much what about you guys have to turn the table
2008
::yes cause that got very mushy
2009
::yeah I love that though
2010
::they're so beautiful and I think that's what makes
2011
::you know everything work with you guys
2012
::you know your clients feel it
2013
::we feel it your
2014
::I know your business grows because of the love
2015
::and you know we've wasted like
2016
::you know love grows everything yeah
2017
::um for me um
2018
::I'll go first okay bye
2019
::um I
2020
::I just curse you so understanding
2021
::yeah and like without the understanding
2022
::you know this relationship wouldn't have worked
2023
::um I felt as a child growing up
2024
::no one understood me especially with ADHD
2025
::the anxiety the naughty
2026
::the behaviour like my parents
2027
::doctors other kids teachers
2028
::no one understood me in my life
2029
::and I felt like I never really had unconditional love
2030
::I had attention
2031
::you know
2032
::and that that's what I associated love with attention
2033
::whether it was naughty whether it was eyes on me
2034
::whatever it was so
2035
::I feel like Kirsty actually sees me for who I am
2036
::and sees potential in me
2037
::and then that makes me feel safe
2038
::and feels like I can just take over the world
2039
::so I feel like it's really important to have that
2040
::yeah so thank you
2041
::I love that thank you
2042
::so I think for me um
2043
::I don't think anyone has ever loved me
2044
::on the same level that Bo has loved me
2045
::and I I've always wanted to do big things
2046
::and I've got all the talent and I'm very
2047
::very good at what I do
2048
::but I would never have been on stage without his do it
2049
::do it first and figure out the fucking shit later um
2050
::dive in the deep end and I believe you me
2051
::there was a lot of anxiety that came with that
2052
::but so much growth very very quickly
2053
::um and I think he allows me to truly
2054
::he supports me so much that he pushes me up
2055
::and any idea I've ever had
2056
::he's like yeah cool
2057
::let's do it and the trust and the
2058
::the pushing and the constant growing um
2059
::you know this business would not be where it is
2060
::without both of us
2061
::and so it doesn't matter like know what parts we do
2062
::we would never have got to where it is
2063
::and I just think that with
2064
::there's so much love and understanding
2065
::and also just the way that you parent Harvey
2066
::you know um
2067
::I haven't had the best with
2068
::you know my other two baby daddies and
2069
::you know borrow the way that he is a dad
2070
::I just sit back and I also wanted that as a child
2071
::you know and so um yeah
2072
::he's an amazing dad and he's definitely Harvey's hero
2073
::and it is beautiful to watch
2074
::and you know you're
2075
::you're such a beautiful soul inside and out
2076
::and I think the thing is about you
2077
::you're so um
2078
::misunderstood and that's why even
2079
::even even when we were friends
2080
::I was like do you actually know bro
2081
::or do you just know social media bro
2082
::cause they're two very different people
2083
::you know and so yeah
2084
::that's great
2085
::and I think a lot of couples just need to learn that
2086
::it's okay to have a duality
2087
::and a clarity in a relationship
2088
::because in business I'm there like
2089
::fuck it we're doing an event in Dubai next week
2090
::I don't know how I'm gonna
2091
::I'm gonna start calling Kirsty
2092
::start doing the ads yeah
2093
::and then and then Kirsty's like alright
2094
::you've got the idea alright
2095
::I'm gonna get the structure like the ticketing um
2096
::the logistics the legal side of things
2097
::how do we do this and I'm just like
2098
::I don't care for all of that
2099
::like I would go to Dubai jump on stage do a thing yes
2100
::and um
2101
::she will make sure that everything logistically works
2102
::legally and that's why I think
2103
::in your relationship with business
2104
::do you you do need a
2105
::you need the different
2106
::polarities and dualities to make the one thing happen
2107
::cause if you're both big jumpers into the deep end
2108
::fuckin nothing's ever gonna work yeah
2109
::unless you learn lessons
2110
::but you both gotta have like someone's gonna be like
2111
::hey when it rained in a little bit here
2112
::and the other person is with the Wildcat or
2113
::or we need to be like you know
2114
::it's too rained in let's fucking yeah
2115
::really going so you do need that push in both sides
2116
::otherwise
2117
::you just going in a straight line for so long yeah
2118
::that's it what
2119
::what I wanna ask you guys is
2120
::if anyone wants to be in your world
2121
::like if anyone wants to do NLP training nlp
2122
::uh hypnotherapy
2123
::they wanna become a hypnotherapist
2124
::they wanna become NLP practitioner certified
2125
::how do how do how do we do it
2126
::like you guys are the best in the biz in the world
2127
::and just I just wanna reiterate
2128
::you might have done hemotherapy before
2129
::but you haven't done post hepnotherapy
2130
::and he is literally the best in the world
2131
::and so even if you think you're a hepnotherapist
2132
::you're not a hepnotherapist
2133
::until you've done post hepnotherapy
2134
::exactly hundred percent
2135
::how do how do
2136
::how do we get in touch how do we yeah
2137
::how do we we will share all the links with you
2138
::we we actually
2139
::one of our highest values as well is connection
2140
::and so we really love having a connection course
2141
::inquiry call to make sure it's the right fit
2142
::yeah some people
2143
::actually maybe need to do some one on one
2144
::work with one of our master coaches
2145
::before they're ready for the training
2146
::it can it can really do like that
2147
::so we do a bit of an assessment actually
2148
::and that also
2149
::make sure that everyone that's in our trainings
2150
::has the best experience in the training
2151
::and that you have that kind of community camaraderie
2152
::yeah uh
2153
::and so it might be with myself or Paul
2154
::might be with one of our master coaches
2155
::but it's about 20 minute half an hour chat
2156
::where we'll just find out what your goals are
2157
::how you wanna use the skills
2158
::we can talk to you about how it could actually work
2159
::and if it is the right thing
2160
::and if it's not maybe then what the best step is
2161
::yeah but then we look at
2162
::you know when the next training dates are
2163
::and we can work with
2164
::you on payment plans and things like that
2165
::we like to be really accessible and affordable
2166
::because we know that when people get to our trainings
2167
::they level up their self worth massively
2168
::that even people who start off on payment plans end up
2169
::paying things back and that's a thing as well
2170
::so you guys can reach out to us on socials
2171
::either add me or Juliet or Evo

2185
::and just personally like my own growth
2186
::as I said earlier on um
2187
::I can see it I can feel it yeah
2188
::from when when did we meet last time in Adelaide
2189
::was that six months ago yeah
2190
::that would have been that was before the course
2191
::yeah yeah
2192
::yeah would have been just before the course
2193
::so so yeah about six months ago
2194
::yeah
2195
::you guys feel really grounded one more in your bodies
2196
::one thing
2197
::one thing I really took away with working with you
2198
::that I really looked up to
2199
::my problem is that I follow people and then I'm like
2200
::I have to be like them well
2201
::like I have to start dressing like them and
2202
::and going down their path
2203
::and now I'm finding how to take inspiration
2204
::but still staying authentic
2205
::which was really difficult for me
2206
::before working with you and then I found like
2207
::that you swore and that you dad jokes and you're funny
2208
::and it was literally like
2209
::you're not this professional guy that's like
2210
::you know okay
2211
::and write this and and it was just like
2212
::you were just yourself yeah
2213
::and you made me laugh so much and
2214
::and you gave me permission to be myself
2215
::and and I think a few things you said is like um
2216
::I think in the course was you know
2217
::I could stand up here and be somebody else and
2218
::and you just might not like me for that
2219
::so I'm gonna be me and then I found that by doing that
2220
::I've actually attracted my perfect clients yes
2221
::before I was tryna be someone I wasn't
2222
::and then anxiety anxiety that I had by tryna
2223
::tryna impress people that I didn't like
2224
::or didn't wanna work with
2225
::created this big ball of anxiety
2226
::and then I just laid back into like who I am
2227
::I swear I listen that and if someone comes on and goes
2228
::you know I don't like your page
2229
::I've done breath work before and they didn't swear
2230
::like you I'm like
2231
::well then we're not for you

::yeah and I'm so and that's okay
2233
