Welcome to leaders who celebrates. My name is Pamela mccallion marketing veteran turned mindfulness teacher. Thanks for joining. Chloe. Jerry. Kavita. Marty can die while we have candid conversations on leadership mindfulness and everything in between. Let's get started. This is episode. Number one. Why leaders should slow the fuck down to celebrate? That's really what we're doing. That is what we're doing. Actually. Yeah, we just had an amazing lunch. Yes. Yeah. It's like a full-on workday is it though? I don't know. It's a Monday. It's a Monday. It feels like Monday, doesn't it? It does feel like one day and it's Thursday audience. I don't know what to do. It really doesn't when you're slowing down. Right? Right. So what does it mean to slow down for each and every one of you how you guys so it's actually because of you so Pam and I were sitting at a coffee shop and I was extremely overwhelmed and I remember I was like, I'm just not going fast enough. Like I feel like I should be moving faster with my business and you were just like, who are you like racing? And I just looked and I'm like, I don't know and I'm like, I'm like, I just feel like I'm not going like at the right speed and you're like, but what is the right speed and like who is it a competition? Like, who are you going against and that changed my perspective all this time? Because every time I start to feel that way I'm like it's against myself and like I'm the one that can determine like what piece that actually is. So that was good and I've been like slowing down since then here and there isn't a general Rule of thumb though that whatever do whether it's slowing down or anything else. We have we're talking about something else earlier, but it's always against ourselves. Yes. It's the comparison between the inner world and the outer world and what's going on on the inside and the reflection of eye on the outside and usually for me when when things are going to too fast on the outside means the inside is not settled. I'm not grounded. I'm not I'm not present. I'm not connected to myself. I don't you guys feel the same way. Oh, yeah, like we've had like a mini similar conversations about I felt like the same that you would like it's not going fast enough getting what I want right now and I feel ready but the things are not coming. Yeah, I feel like the more that I felt in that space this lower Things become became so yeah, I can totally relate. Why do you think that it is in your opinion? Like you say that like they don't arrive but you feel like you're ready. But why do you think that is like your interpretation of that? Oh, that's a good question. Don't you find that like you feel ready and then time will pass and then you're like, wow, I was so not ready. When you thought you were ready. I feel like that happens to me often the like in the beginning. I'm like, I'm so ready and then, you know some time will pass and then I'll be like, well was I actually I like now I'm right about there. Yeah, and then like six months. I really wasn't ready that I don't know. It's just there's I don't we ever ready ready for what ready ready ready to receive to receive? Yeah, like we're always ready. Yeah, like well, there's the relationship or we feel like we're ready and it's not coming or it's it's a business opportunity that you feel like you're ready for that you're yearning for and it's not coming. It's like those small main things that were and I think things are always coming your way is just you have to figure out a way to tune in. Yes tutoring wouldn't know how How to handle each situation yeah life is happening. So you things are coming your way and sometimes you say you want a relationship that guy is like right there, but you're not noticing him like paying attention to because he doesn't look like what you think he would supposed to look like there's a lot of things that I feel that it's just like you said, but it's a good word. You said sorry, but it's tuning in and knowing, you know how to handle every situation but I think life is always happening, you know, it's happening whether we like it. We're ready for it or not. It's going to happen. and things are going to come our way and you just have to like do them which is the best part I think about being an entrepreneur which is just like well, I think the one of the best things about me it's like jumping in that's why I just asked you my chicken like have you done this before like is and it's exciting when you're watching someone like learn as you go and that is just the The best way to do things I think so. I love jumping in when I have very little information fuck. I love jumping in but then when you get burned, that's the Learned that's my experience, but that I mean it's shitty to fail but maybe maybe the risks I'm taking aren't as huge. We're like the when I do fail, it's like it's not like that crazy yet, but I never feel like afraid to just like Go after something I was just like the day before that I'm like what the hell am I doing? Why did I do this? Wouldn't you say it's a question of where your beliefs and boundaries are in terms of certain specific things because we all have strengths and weaknesses in different areas of our life, you know, you have Life Church, which is like, you know, your finances your family your relationships your business, whatever your health, you know, depending on who you are and what you've lived and what your belief system is and how you've been programmed and certain things are going to be easier than others. Like I know you as an entrepreneur someone at the Go get her I respect you so much for them. That's why you're here. Because thank you. It's like you just you just go, you know what you're doing and you get but maybe other areas of your life or harder to slow down and I guess maybe for you Chloe would be different as well for me. It's areas are easier than others. It's the it's the way I see it. Actually it's like a kind of like a bell curve if you will and it's the emotional bell curve that I have an issue with I never have problems making sense of what's happening to me. So let's say if I it burned I jump into something or something doesn't work out the way I wanted to wear whatever. I've never really bitter about that. I never think like why is this happening to me or why like, I'm extremely optimistic when it comes to these kinds of things and I'm always like I feel in my bones. There's always a greater good that there's always a bigger picture that made me I can't grasp yet, but it's the emotional bell curve that I have an issue with it's going through the Notions of the feelings that I have trouble with which comes back to kind of what we were saying earlier we get into the subject, but it It's that that feeling of like I'm hurt. I'm upset. I'm angry. It doesn't mean I want it back or I want to change I want to change anything but it's just still so difficult to go through those feelings for me. Anyways, I have trouble doing that. You know, I Wish I Could Just Surrender and be like, okay. It's okay to feel this way. It's normal. It's part of it, you know, you know the future, you know, things will get better eventually like I know, you know, I know that I won't stay in that mine for a while now and I can say that That curve is getting smaller and smaller. You might not see it from the inside, but from the outside for someone who watches it's like going to the gym the more you practice this the better it gets and you're not going to master the bounce-back exactly and it's like when I just separated the finest thing is I was terrified to get on to plane because of a lot of different circumstances like and I started going, you know, being a single mom and having two kids at the house. So it's like some sort of a system to put in place and the more I travel the more I got out of you know my own We and did it again and again and again, it got we-we-we easier and then I put systems in place and and it also became I'm getting pleasure out of it and then the real Secrets. Mmm, and I think it's nice. Thank you for that. And I think when I think it came from embracing the moment and that's what's going down is it's like when you take the time to actually go through those emotions no matter how uncomfortable they are and just sitting with them totally totally, right? Yeah the way you described it. Sorry the way you described it as just like so many. People still need to learn that to be like wait, I can feel this way and actually recognizing that you feel that way if you're like way ahead of the game. Thank you saying that you stay like in the emotional for a long time and that's why you know, I actually took the opposite my resilience as I bounce back very easily but it's it's not time frame that the issue. It's just feeling whether it's two days or two weeks. I want to be it's the offense. There you go. Like I'm intense person. So I think that like the highs are very high. The lows are very low and far and few are the moments where I'm kind of just like on the Baseline because I don't enjoy living my life that way so the highest one there. I mean it's great but then when the lows are really can't and so I feel both very intensely, which is fine. I'm also like coming to terms with that also, but it's just a question of going through the Notions, you know, that's the part that I kind of have an issue with and allowing myself to get back to what you were saying slowing down. You know, it's really points to that door right? You know me. Your groups had this conversation with you many times. It's like too fast too soon and there's notion of intensity but there's also a notion of speed and both of them can either have both at the same time or one or I really have no notion of that and I feel like living any other way would be mediocre to me like You Just Go With It When you go with it, you know, whatever it is. Like how can you like I remember having a conversation with my friend will remember like a few weeks ago and she was like, well this time like take it slower and I was like, that's not even possible. Like how is that even possible? How do you say like, well this time don't get hurt or this time be more careful. Like it's just like you just go with it and whatever happens happens. So the burn is hard to crush his heart, you know, whatever it is. If there is sometimes there isn't, you know, like sometimes it just works, but I don't know I guess in terms of it's just how does one say you know, what I'm going to take this slowly, you know, I'm gonna you know as much as we're talking about slowing down like you need it slowly as much it is a little bit slower so that you get to actually enjoy it more and really notice what is triggering the speed because sometimes we assume or we think that what is triggering, you know, the speed is the enjoyment but in reality is it not expectations expectations or fear or all those things that are hidden in the background that makes you that make you speed up because then you're not actually sitting with the discomfort. So it's like kind of running away from connecting to yourself anyways for me and I think if we can just take and if you're not able to do it during the process may be a good place to start is after the crash because so many people crash and then they don't stop either they just keep going. Yeah, and then the crash gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and for someone took like a vital crash, you know into Oblivion personally. Yeah, the Sometimes the best place to start is once you've really crashed just take the time to stop and That's and feel and we talked a lot about depression and they're all things podcast is about that. But um depressed, you know, I'm sure that you know, there's people that are it's not about to pull that are medically not but like for most people I am depressed but not really some people are yes and medically but a lot of people just need to rest or get a good night of sleep baby sleep is so so hard so so important it's true here were part of the men's club. Whoever wants to join the Nights Watch. Let's snap. Now. Let's not take she was like 20 minutes. Through your your your your cycle their periods of time are your body wants you to slow down. Mmm, you know, like your body wants to be still and and if you respect those waves honestly like your experience of life is much better and the people experiencing Jules is better because then you know, because if you're if you're really cranky and tired and sleepy and you need that that that downtime in your body she's going to Snug people you can connect can't control it. It's not something nap during your period. What are you talking about? Whatever and then the week before I'm afraid it's kind of like can go either way either. I'm a total bitch. All right, so, you know, what did you say for me? There's that discomfort it goes better after essentially. Like if you don't mind me saying like slowing down is for me. Anyways, it's allowing yourself to slow down. It doesn't matter what you choose to do to slow down or how you define it but allowing yourself to do so, so if that means standing in your Or bath with a mask as you would say that's like my go-to to slow down like I soon as I need to slow down. It's like I need to do my nails and I need to do a mask and I need to get my hair done and I need to like feel feminine and feel beautiful. And that's me slowing down. It's just allowing yourself and saying like, you know what it's okay to do this and I'm allowed to do this and I'm allowed to take the time that it takes me to do this and nobody can you know, I just love I think Jerry could Japan on this I think you know me sitting and do But wouldn't you say like when because we can totally dive into feminine energy to conversation, you know, and I must have been having that and feminine energy is very different from masculine energy. We have both in our bodies, but the we do we practiced it as women is is very different depending on the women, but at the end of the day is taking care of our bodies because the soul is there but the body is just the shell that needs to be carried for so whatever that looks like so now Al's for some makeup for others textures masks whatever but it's like, you know adorning and celebrate there were talking about celebrating but really celebrating your femininity. Yeah that I need so much help. Rest and do my it's like it's like my least favorite things to do. I can't do it, but I don't know fucking letter. It's a you know what it is. I don't even think about it. I just do it because my head and needs to be done and it's interesting. We were talking about the feminine energy. I was thinking is it the slowing top the pampering taking care of yourself? Is it a feminine thing and the Hustler go get her work work work is in a masculine actually, absolutely. So as I'm as I'm thinking about this I feel The that actually I have my sister. She's really younger than me, I think because I grew up with men and it was just my brothers and my dad and my mom but my brothers are very intense. So I grew up in that energy where it's that go go go. No emotions. You don't stop never stop and this is my sister came. She's the complete opposite, you know, she wants to take him back every day. She doesn't think your nails. She's like, yeah, I noticed that when I met you and my sisters are cocaine is take a mass is do a mask like my school wide. What are we doing understand that it's important, but people think that I take the time to pamper my I don't you know, I think my jeans for because if it wasn't for that I think - I think these would look that good as much as I should and it's more being in the service of others rights. It's helping others feel good, but I'll tell ya those. That's for me. That's what brings me joy, but personally, yeah, I'm really bad at it. But you have like when you say when you're giving back like women are of service we're here to to create circles and certain, you know, gather people around and and their chair cook nurture all those things. That's that's definitely feminine energy. And we all have both like we have the masculine and The Feminine and the masculine the right side of the family. And depending on what you're doing where you really like different moments of the day. It's going to pop up and you can do the way you can actually figure out how its you can from your breath. If you notice your breathing more from your left nostril your more your feminine energy. If you're being a mind like, all right. He kept the rain definitely feel it. And again, there's no judgment here. It's not because you're in your masculine more than your feminine that's gonna be weird. If there was judgment hearing like you are breathing from your right nostril. Yes, you are. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was one of the yoga classes. Yeah practice that we actually did like 45 minutes. Yeah. I would have never thought that masculine would have been here leading energy. I think so like sure. Yeah. Yeah, she sees me so feminine or masculine feel like feminine energy to me. I think I have an imposing maybe like I'm a bit imposing but I don't know if that really makes me masking them. So the upper. Well, actually I kind of want to talk about this because this is something that I think about often. I find more very criticized like whether you go on to one or the other. I don't know if you guys I feel this way. Also I find like when you're too much in your feminine energy or we avoid being too much in her feminine energy because we had criticized for it it gave me needy or being emotional emotional or being too, you know this and that like all these things that women should be celebrated for because I think they're beautiful things those aren't they argued being media is being caring, you know, being emotional is being vulnerable. I think all these things are strong minded being emotional good sound become like sounding like a bad thing isn't like such everyone should be more emotional thing and if you're too much and we're asking Energy, right then. It's like you're too aggressive and you're too assertive and you're not rubbin you're mean and you're like or whatever so I find trouble because I'm just like well, what is you know like the balance you want like if I'm too assertive or I'm you know, I'm a snob too full of myself or whatever. But if I'm to like gentle then oh I'm weaker and I was having this conversation with myself in the car is city where I was like, isn't it crazy how Society every emotion that we're taught to feel that we Week in parentheses, you know that's week is actually strength and every emotion that we're taught as strong is actually in my opinion a sign of weakness or insecurity bring back to slowing down. Yeah. I was thinking about that part of it. I was like like just do it. Yeah, you need to hustle. Okay. That's that's my least favorite word and the word Maybe because it's used by, you know, a lot of men who you know hustle and I box so I would understand the word hustle out of all people but it's not I think it's the intention behind the word hostile and all about intention and you know, yeah the grinding and pushing and it's so unnatural to me because honestly when when you allow the flow of things things just work out for the best. It's usually when you're pushing and and can Restricting and and we're out of the vortex. Like my favorite person in the world is right now you and you were like ever have any exes are like I listen to her yesterday feels good. When we are in the vortex and when we are like the way you get into the word Texas when you hop into hope and then from hope it's just one way up you get you get sucked up into the Vortex and the other ways so much so easy to go down to as long as soon as you have like rejection or frustration and just shooting down again, but it's so easy to go back up it is. Yeah. It's just a choice I choose to split because of all recognize and then I have hope but you can't have hope if you're rushing it's not going to happen. Like if you're going through something as super. A complicated or difficult or okay. Let's say the podcast we had issues technical issues like you can know for meal because you probably understood she's lying. Get to that point it takes a woman of stopping for sure. Yeah, and it's continuous. It's like surrounding stop and move and if you don't do that, then there's there's no way you're gonna get back into the upward spiral to Celebration because we've talked a lot about slowing down but they work hand-in-hand because as soon as you get that that you tur that pause then your then your sucked up into into this expansion mode and tell her Raishin is nothing more than that. It's like opening up and and and and the other part the other part for me is receiving also because the best way to describe lately for me, like I've had so many definitions of celebrating but for me is to actually receive allow yourself to receive. Mmm, that's another like maybe it's because you know, like at a point we get so used well often people get so used to toxicity that like, you don't even know how to receive good things anymore. Once you repair that then just kind of just it continues and it feels absolutely once your repair. There's like certain things that you have to repair and want to repair one then it just kind of takes the momentum and kind of just can't continue. You know, sometimes you can't tell people that they have stuff that they need to repair something percent. And then we were talking about toxic toxic. How do you say accessory toxicity? I wanted to say that even when you say receiving but receiving love to its purest form of people. Can't scary it is to feel that you're gonna take something you want. It's just no I'm just here to love you. How about that? And it is funny and I'm always My good friend to empowering. Sorry King has a whore. Can you give a definition? Yes, I can't absolutely and I have my first letter text usually well, you know, most people will actually do something because they expect something in return because expectation is so high on our list of things in life and that's nothing else than whoring because if you're giving something but you're expecting payment. What is that? Hmm, you know, it's an exchange of services in exchange. It's a transaction. It's not a connection. It's not and it depends on the relationship obviously like if it is actually a transaction but in a relationship and a friendship or in family, you know, when when it's about giving, you know, the secret of living is giving and that's another way that for me you celebrate life is giving a smile as the oh, I'm not rich I can give that's bullshit. Yeah walking down the street dread, you know grocery store cash register, you know, you can just smile how many people smile likes you? Did you see a lot of people smile? I smile and I smile all the time. That's why you're into it. And then sometimes I like cut it short but then I do it more because it's like go first. It's a gift. If I smiling at but it's not that serious. It's just I think it's in the moment. Some people will bring it out of me and it's just the way they look at me. I just feel like I want to smile but the people that are smilers walk around and smile. They bother me because you know me like we're not used to it. I don't like getting older and becoming like afraid of people that's what that's what happens to me now like I'm scared of people next to me. So I leaned into it more because I'm like I shouldn't be afraid of like this human standing behind me in line and freaking out that they're like a little bit too close and here in North America. We stand like five feet apart in line, but other parts of the world, like people are very like they're close together. They're not like afraid of each other but that's - life experiences that the the Or the more you go through life, the more people they shut down. They close themselves. That's so sad. I have to another to a rejection to this and then you know as a kid, I feel like we're your yeah. It's so boring things happen to you the more like, okay. I'm closing in the battery after the next you know, and like you said some people when they get really old alike, you know, but you don't understand of my life, but your life story doesn't Define you right? So it's right you don't have to use that and just go out in the world and just be close, but it's true like they have to make such a notorious effort to it. Like the book that I'm listening to now that you told me about it's like we basically have to spend title title the book for me soon because I don't remember right the second but waste got to go through life and teaching yourself everything that you've learned from childhood onwards because we got program so we were born and we love to be in the playground with everyone doesn't matter your color doesn't matter if you're sure yeah long as I could lift. You don't see that. We're all welcome to go hop on the merrier. And then as we grew up we get programmed in school our parents. I'm a mom. I do it. I'm guilty. I definitely passed on things. And also there's another thing called DNA that kickstand yet 7 years old that's my belief, but the veil peels off, you know that Veil that you brought in from your past lives and you dive into this body because you can otherwise you're schizophrenic and then you're in an asylum or another. Until the light is burned then I think there was something Jerry was mentioning about light earlier and being scared of love and and I think being racket having someone recognized or connect with you is really them seeing your lights and us to your light also and I think what leaders who celebrate is also is definitely the mission of it is to encourage people to be okay with this light. We are so powerful. Powerful and and to celebrate that light and that power and again Society the carcass whatever it is, you know tells us that we should hide and and and not be flaunting this amazing, you know gift that we we are and and and doing the opposite is the ultimate celebration just tell him China and I expect you said Chloe. So I'm asking as far as all the trays feminine masculine be emotional. It's just celebrating yourself and just being yourself. Whatever. I always feel that because growing up. I always thought that men didn't like women that were too emotional too erratic same. Yeah, so I need to be calm. I need to not feel anything. I need to be okay with everything. I was like crazy the same guy go out with a girl who causes a fit on my God. She's so obnoxious. I'm just like but didn't you say that? So at one point like, you know, fuck this. I just have to be myself like it's it's not true that you have to do too much of this too much not enough of that and I'm reading a book about emotional intelligence. And I think that that's one it's called emotional intelligence. Well at the end of the episode the green wall, if we mention drugs, I think we're gonna go out for me is that learning how to handle them and learning how to deal with the emotions but not act like they don't exist or whatever, but just Learning how to deal with it. So that's what it's called. So we bring it back to slowing down Pamela. That's what I said. That's what I did. cool Um, can I leave me here like a little sentence not really like it when you don't listen to me Kevin because I think what's important also is not to beat yourself. It was when we talked about the vortex and like, you know, having hope and then continue moving up and stuff. It's like don't feel bad or frustrated rather. If you're not there yet. The Hope doesn't come easily all the time. Sometimes it does. And you're like, okay I can get through this and you can just shoot back up. Sometimes it takes a little bit more time and that's okay and I think for me that's what I'm still trying to learn is that like you can be often I am I am a hundred percent optimistic and I'm so open and ready for whatever is coming my way in life, but sometimes it takes a little bit longer to kind of Gets okay to take the time with it. Exactly exactly. It's take a look. Yeah. Okay. So mine without a doubt without a doubt is meditation hundred percent. I've been doing it. I've been meditating since 2015 and I go through these huge periods of overwhelm, like on a week at least not at the very least on a weekly basis. So he's like ups and downs with like work and life and the only thing that will bring me Back to Earth is meditating, which is has to be the best. I think the best way to slow down and just like remember, you know what it is not a raise and I just have to get my stuff in order after that'll create like list everything just becomes much more clear and manageable after I meditate and it was the absolute go to for me and the celebration part celebration. Champagne time with my friends going for dinner having people over. I guess. It's just being connection. Yeah connection being around people that I love and giving myself the space to do. So, so it really not feeling crushed and just devoting my whole evening or day whatever that is to that one thing. Hmm. What about you Martita? Okay. So for this slowing down I would have said I have two ways now, I got it just in you and that works really well for me. So it's the walks in nature. Trees, that's the way of connecting. You just spent a whole week in Charlotte want to see I just - I felt the I felt so anxious coming back on the highway as the trees were more scarce and it was less green and I just felt it in my body after spending like 10 days with like panoramic views of the trees and The Roots around me and totally yeah Familia and now my second part to it is going out and connecting with someone or people a group of people to I don't think that I make enough time to do that. And that's Good way for me to reconnect back to myself. Mmm. And I would say celebrating I would say slowing down and celebrating that pretty much would do the same Mmm Yeah, that's amazing. You're slow down becomes your celebration. Then you're doing everything right? Yeah, and I also down is my celebration because I don't do it. This is not good. By connecting to my body is really important. I don't do it enough or when I do it's also in a very masculine way. So I box and I run and I do a lot of things that are very very Outside energy. And when when when I dance, it's very interesting because I did so far a couple of classes. But the last one was it she was so hard I kept on getting in my head and you can see the direct impact on my legs on my movements on the constriction and I wasn't allowing my partner to leave me when you say in your head as opposed to being in your heart or as opposed to just being there in the moment. Okay was like so much activation and and and it's turning out to be a very interesting. Slowing down practice because you're also being led as opposed to me charging and and and and taking control of this situation. So and teacher really like the guy who's the guy who's the guy and I'm just a you are he's like, no you're leading. This is not okay. And then when he said in where I got in my head, but anyways, it was a it was a very interesting class, but nevertheless honestly, I look forward to it. It's a moment also where I get to like pamper myself get ready for me. It's like going on a date with myself. And when I'm there, it's like connecting to me and listening and music is such an important part of my life. So and that music is just mhm like it's like smooth and it has like mmm so that and celebrating we had the best karaoke party with Shania and my kids yesterday just got thanks for the interview. Thanks for the end. But yeah, no for yeah, definitely moving. My body is something but in a in an inward way over citizen exterior way, I also meditate I also do yoga on the things to the mention there's different ways of focus good for me meditation just that's that's the thing that maybe I'll finish up with this is no matter what it is that you do and what you choose as a way to you're the only one who can really establish. Assess what is needed for you to do that and how it makes you feel like we're five people around the table and each one of us had a different way of doing it which just comes to show that it's not it's not something that can take off a book and you know, all those self-help books. It's something that you feel and you can't evolve to because that works for you wish for 12 and things things change with time.
