Claudia von Boeselager On The Key Triad for Life & Longevity

Hello, sweet friends, and welcome to the Longevity and Lifestyle Podcast. I'm your host, Claudia von Boeselager, here to bring you the latest insights and learnings to improve your health, life, and happiness for longer. I'm so excited to share this special episode with you, a solo episode with yours truly on a topic I feel is often overlooked in the longevity and health optimization space. I'm so delighted to see this community of amazing souls grow and honor you in your journey to increase your healthspan and step into the highest version of yourself for longer. The world needs more of you. So in today's episode, we'll be looking at biohacking tips, at longevity, and at raising consciousness. We'll be covering some territory together here today that have helped me not only recover from health issues but reverse my biological age to 16 years younger than my chronological one. I am now 26 again. This episode is based on a keynote presentation I held recently at a conference, and I wanted to share my message with you too, dear audience. If something really resonates with you today, please go ahead and share this episode with someone who might need to hear it too. Now, speaking of health and longevity, isn't it astonishing how many of us has or knows a loved one or a friend who suffers or has suffered with a chronic disease such as cancer, dementia, heart disease, stroke. Often at talks I give, most of the hands, if not all of the hands in the room go up. What has our world turned into? It's a sad reality of our current system, this so-called healthcare system, but more aptly, I believe, called a sick care system. And yet this is not what life is meant to be, right? I believe that we're actually at a beginning or at the beginning of one of the most exciting times in history. A new era is upon us. More and more people are waking up and realizing that we have a choice. We have a choice to choose a different path away from suffering and disease to one of potential and vibrant energy, connection, and purpose. Imagine you could be 70, 80, or 100 years old in a 30-year-old body. What would you do? How would you use this time and energy to make a positive impact in the world? I firmly believe that if you can live in this peak state now and for many years to come, this will fundamentally change the world as we know it. And this is why I'm so excited to share my journey and learnings in biohacking and healing trauma, growing spiritually, and enhancing longevity for a happier, healthier, and longer life with you. And for those of you perhaps newer to my audience or unfamiliar with my story, I wanted to share this with you. I was born in New York City to an Irish mother and German father, and since went on to live in 9 countries and places across Europe and the US, Shanghai, and Buenos Aires. So I don't really know, uh, where I'm from, but I call London and Florida home. And you see, I've always been very driven. Hugely to the detriment of my health. And I pushed myself to do more and be more and achieve more, in part to not focus on the pain inside, which led me to start my career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs with notorious long hours, and later going on to found and working in tech startups, um, where sleep of more than just a couple hours a night was not unusual. But somehow I found the drive and energy to push through. Until I didn't. Early 30s, and my lifestyle of burning the candle at both ends really caught up with me. Chronic health issues like chronic fatigue and leaky gut and chronic sinusitis. The list of issues was long and growing, and it all came to a climax one day. I remember it was a beautiful blue skies and sunshine kind of day, the kind of day that would normally give you a spring in your step. But for me that day, it was the day I got a call from my doctor who wanted to share my recent blood test results. My blood markers were so bad, so many in the red, that he told me in no uncertain terms that he was 2 weeks away from hospitalizing me if I didn't act fast. I was stunned. And as I got up to climb the stairs, I felt like what it must be like to climb Mount Everest, one slow step in front of the other. I I was exhausted. I was on empty. And I remember looking down at my watch and realizing it wasn't even lunchtime and I was beyond exhausted. How could this have happened? How did my years of just pushing through lead me to this point? And where did all my boundless energy go? How was I going to make it through the day and run my business and take care of my small kids and a busy schedule? And it dawned on me, worse yet, what were the next 20, 30, 40 years going to be like if I even made it that far? In that moment, I viscerally felt what a disease-ridden life could look like. And in that moment, it clicked. Enough was enough. This was not my destiny. This was not who I was here to be. And it set me on a journey of now over 12+ years researching, testing, interviewing the world's leading experts and pioneers in science and longevity medicine, in peak performance, biohacking, and spiritual connection to uncover the key modalities to optimize health, have vibrant energy for a longer, happier life. I studied and trained in health and life optimization coaching and peak performance and NLP meditation, Reiki mastery, and went through trauma healing processes, including plant medicine. I tested and biohacked myself, which has now enabled me to have the biological age of 16 years younger than my chronological one. And I'm so passionate about helping others heal and optimize themselves to reach their highest version of themselves. I now want to live life to the fullest, climb Mount Kilimanjaro at 90 with my kids, go skydiving at 100. And I made a promise with my then 3-year-old Francesca that I would go to space with her when she grew up. And most importantly, to help as many people as I can live a longer, healthier, and happier life. There is a way. Scientific breakthroughs and technological innovation is here to allow us to let diseases be a thing of the past. Like dementia, which many of you will know my mother sadly suffers from. And if I had known earlier what I know now, it could have been reversed instead of watching her fade away. Diseases like cancer, which my father suffered from, could be eradicated for the most part. Metabolic diseases as well, and so many more. The time has come for this needless suffering to end. So let me share some of the keys to longevity that I've learned along my journey, which I've come to fall into a triad, a triad for longevity comprising the body, mind, and spirit, each piece essential for stepping into the highest version of yourself for longer, which by the way can also help you grow younger too. When I began my journey, I thought it was all just about optimizing the body, but in my quest, I realized a key to longevity and optimization lies in doing the shadow work and healing the trauma so you can step into a higher consciousness and align with your true purpose. I'll share more about this shortly. So let's start with the body. I believe the body is your temple for housing your divine self, one that deserves the utmost respect and maintenance throughout life's journey. Yet so many of us, myself included, have forgotten this along the way. Instead, we use and abuse it, in part because we've been confused and even brainwashed by billion-dollar budgets to believe consuming highly inflammatory, highly addictive, toxic food and chemicals put in the medicine we feed our bodies daily, our food, is somehow good for us. This coupled with the chemicals and radiation we're exposed to, not just in our foods, but in our products that we use and in our environments, it's making us sick. What is the result? An epidemic of chronic health issues, overmedication, disconnection from our bodies and their intrinsic ability to heal. Our current healthcare system is broken. Many of our doctors are overworked with an average of 6 minutes per patient, and medical schools are not teaching anything about nutrition, the medicine we feed our bodies every day. Instead, the model is diagnosis, prescription, and that's what's pushed. And it's no wonder when you look at who is actually funding medical schools. Yet the magic is available to us when the body is given the right support, the right food, the right hydration, rest, healing. The body can work wonders for us, many times healing itself and even aging backwards. So here are some key strategies and biohacks for those starting out to better support your body. Number 1, test and repair. What gets measured gets managed, the expression goes. You need to know your baseline also so you can track it over time and see how you're doing. So this includes looking at biomarkers in your bloods, and you wanna ensure that you're looking at them from a functional medicine perspective and that they're in the optimal range for you, not just how the average range is for the average population. You might also want to test your gut health. You may have heard your gut is your second brain, so healing and optimizing your gut is crucial. For me, between my years of eating disorders, high-stress work environments, together with my love of travel to exotic places, led to my gut health being in a pretty bad state, from too much of the not-so-good bacteria to too little of the good bacteria, and lovely parasites and H. H. pylori. Thankfully, that's all been solved and helped me get my high energy back. You also want to check your hormonal health, which is super important. We're faced with real challenges to our health, and so many endocrine disruptors from plastics and BPA wreaking havoc on our hormonal health. Did you know that men's testosterone levels decrease 1% each year from as young as age 30? And women, well, we are very complex, and from the age of 35 or so, hormone levels begin to change as perimenopause can begin. And this has a real impact on the quality of our lives. Did you know, as shown by research from biological age testing company GlycanAge, that women age biologically on average of 8 to 9 years in that 1 year between their last period and 12 months plus a day when menopause is officially declared? 8 to 9 years. It's because estrogen falls off a cliff. Much to the detriment of women's health and wellbeing. This is why bio or body identical HRT is so crucial. And thankfully the myths around HRT have finally been debunked. Another thing really important to check is your toxins, exposure to mold, which can happen in your house if there's leaks or even between the walls, heavy metals, which can be from mercury in fish to mercury fillings. And others. You can even consider having an air filter system in your home too. For me also, I found how doing a cortisol response test really helpful, especially if you've spent years working in high-stress environments. I had given myself adrenal fatigue along the way. If you're over 45 or 50, looking at a recommendation from leading neuroscientist, Dr. Dale Bredesen, of doing an annual cognoscopy, checking your cognition and keeping up to speed on that. Also, functional genomics is super exciting. Because even though you can't change your DNA, you can change if those genes are expressed. It's like a light switch. It's there, but you don't have to turn it on. So much depends on your epigenetics or the environment inside and outside of you. Also, biological age testing. I believe GlycanAge is one of the most reliable ones because the marker is one of inflammation in the body, and this helps to establish a good baseline and keep you informed of your progress. You can also consider doing a full-body MRI screening for early disease detection, which is shown to be quite powerful too. I know a close friend used it to discover she had stage 1 cancer that could successfully be treated, thankfully, which otherwise might have gone unchecked.

This episode is brought to you by Apollo Neuro. Since I began wearing my Apollo in November, I've hardly taken it off. Literally, I'm obsessed. Apollo's wearable technology uses soothing vibration. Vibrations to naturally regulate your body's stress responses and improve sleep quality, crucial for long-term health and longevity. You can wear the device on your wrist, ankle, or clip to your chest, and the paired app has different vibration settings for waking you up in the morning with more energy, to focus time, calm, and helping you wind down in the evening. It also has an innovative stay-asleep feature which turns on if you begin stirring during the night, allowing you to sleep soundly throughout the night. Users report up to 19% more deep sleep, a 40% reduction in stress, and an 11% improvement in heart rate variability. Apollo tailors also for women, helping to manage stress associated with hormonal fluctuations.

Another way for supporting your body is regaining vibrant energy. This, I believe, is so important. Don't we all want to have this? Well, through understanding, rejuvenating, and optimizing your mitochondria, you can. Mitochondria, many of you might have heard it. It's definitely a trend word these days, but it's— they're the energy packs of your cells responsible for producing the energy that fuels every action in your body. When your mitochondria are functioning optimally, you feel more energetic, focused, and alive. So let me share some biohacks, some ways to optimize your mitochondria and thus your energy. Paramount is sleep and sleep hygiene and timing. You see, I used to embarrassingly think that I could sleep when I'm dead. This was the 20-year-old version of me. So anyone else who might've done that? Yeah. But I've now learned the importance of what goes on during our sleeping hours and why it's so crucial to get quality sleep. You see, it's the time that when the cells are rejuvenating and detoxification happens. And that's why getting 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep is so vital. And by the way, that means typically being in bed for 1 hour longer to get the quality sleep time in. I like to track my sleep with an Oura Ring, for example, and I leave it on the airplane mode overnight to reduce EMF radiation. And it's helped me to better understand how my sleep cycles actually work and what impacts my sleep and how I can optimize optimize it. And so some, for some of you may be unfamiliar, ways to have a more optimal sleep hygiene. Well, that includes things like no blue, or AKA junk light, an hour and a half before bedtime, as this will interfere with your mind and your ability to really unwind and relax getting to sleep. And having your last meal at least 3 hours before going to bed so that you're fully digested going to sleep, so your body can work its magic and rejuvenation and detox during the night. And not focus on the actual digesting. Also to wind down with a book, not the news or social media, because as they say, if it bleeds, it leads. So no sensational news, um, that will raise your cortisol levels. Sleeping in a cold, like 65-degree dark room is shown to be really great for your health and sleep quality. Also removing EMF radiation, electromagnetic field radiation. There's so many devices around us, and if we live in a city, we have neighbors with Wi-Fi and all their devices as well. So put as many as you can into airplane mode, put it away from you, have EMF mitigation devices as well. If you can't avoid, let's say, a neighbor's Wi-Fi, et cetera. Another thing that's really important is nasal breathing. So you want to increase your oxygen uptake through nasal breathing, and you can even use mouth tape. I know it sounds not very sexy, but it's proven to work wonders. There's a brand called Myotape that I like. It goes around your mouth, so it doesn't actually cover your mouth, mouth, um, and I find that my cognition in the morning is even sharper as a result. Another important way to improve your mitochondria is through movement and mobility, but think of the minimum effective dose. You see, there is a danger in over-exercising. I used to think I had to kill it at the gym for 2 hours at a time, 1 hour of spinning, 1 hour of weight training, and not only was it taking up a huge chunk of my day, but it was actually zapping my energy because it was depleting my body's nutrients and minerals and actually increasing inflammation. The exact opposite of what I was trying to achieve. So it's about finding that minimum effective dose of cardio and weight training, really important. And women, please listen to this as well, super, super important to optimize your body. And also building in recovery days, which are just as essential as well. And in terms of mobility, we can't forget about this. As we age, we need to maintain that full range of motion and movement, essentially, for optimal health. I know Dr. Kelly Starrett, an expert in this, um, I've had on the podcast, um, he was still doing splits at age 50. So very impressive and something to aim for. We also want to look at nutrition and when and what to eat, because the goal is to achieve what they call metabolic flexibility, which is the ability to adapt the body's fuel selection between glucose and fatty acids. Metabolic inflexibility is linked to insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.. And what I find super helpful is to just stick on, even for 2 weeks or even a month, right? A continuous glucose monitor. You just put it on the back of your arm. Some countries you can order it online. In other countries, you can get a prescription from your doctor. And it just allows you to understand how your body, cuz we're all different, how your body reacts to certain foods and exercise, stress, drinks, and sleep. And it's key to understanding how you can keep your blood sugar levels in that optimal range. I'm a fan of Levels Health for this as well. You also wanna look at when to eat. So prolonged intermittent fasting, and I'm talking about 16, 20, or more hours a day, which some people do, is not for everyone. And I'm huge caution around that as well. So instead, you know, we've all heard about the trends of intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating, but according to the thought leader in this space of the circadian rhythm optimization expert, Dr. Satchin Panda, he recommends at the very minimum, and frankly for most people, that the best is to do an overnight fast of 12 to 14 hours. And ideally also to do a 3 to 5 day fast once a quarter. So once every 3 months. Then the question is what to eat. Well, hopefully many of you listeners are very very familiar with this, but in case you may not be, it's so essential to avoid highly inflammatory foods like processed foods, which are pretty much everywhere. Sugar, again, learning how to read labels per 100 grams. You want things that are 5 grams of sugar or less, and where possible, to buy organic to avoid toxic pesticides in our food. Also want to increase whole foods. So essentially you want to avoid the middle aisles in the supermarket and just focus on the perimeter there. And consuming healthy fats like nuts and seeds and olive and coconut oils and fatty fish like salmon, eggs, and grass-fed meat. Also, you want to increase the variety of organic vegetables. Dr. Mark Hyman recommends eating the rainbow of 30 different colored vegetables and some fruit each week to get the nutritional benefits. And increasing fiber— this is a big one. A lot of people are very, um, have very low consumption of fiber each day, as well as your protein intake. Looking at supplements, so depending on how well you're able to get required nutrients from your food. And if you are able to get it from your food, then you might need supplementation. The best is to actually personalize your supplementation according to your blood biomarkers. Key supplements I found essential for me was vitamin D3 with vitamin K to help with the absorption. So many of us are vitamin D deficient. Vitamin B, I'm very low in this as well. Magnesium, omega-3. Digestive enzymes found super helpful just so we can make sure that we're getting the most out of our food and coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10, which is a powerful antioxidant. There's also some more longevity-focused supplements like spermidine. There's Synalytix. There's NAD+, which comes in different forms from patches to subcutaneous injections. What I hear, and I haven't tried the drip myself, but that's not for, for everyone and people can actually feel quite nauseous as well. So just do your research and know what's right for you. Next one is detoxification. And as much as we try to avoid it, we are exposed to so many chemicals in our environments and in our food and the products that we use and put on our skin, in our hair, et cetera. So it's so important to detox these chemicals in our environment, which can include mold or heavy metals, pollutants, et cetera. The benefits of this is reduction in inflammation and cortisol levels, improved cardiovascular health and circulation, libido and longevity, enhanced immune system and metabolism. Metabolism, and it promotes injury healing and growth factor production. So what are some ways? Well, the hot and cold, right? So heat is really, really great way to detox, and this can be from heat exposure. So sweating and saunas are an excellent way of doing this. And despite the current hype around saunas, my German grandmother was doing this over a century ago. So you have the Finnish sauna, you have steam rooms, red light saunas. This really supports mitochondria as well. Well, do what you enjoy and try to do it regularly. They say 2 to 3 times a week, ideally, if you can manage it. Best is if you had something at home, but if not, maybe somewhere locally that you can go to. And then cold exposure. This can increase dopamine levels. And for all of us ADHDers out there, by up to 500% over a prolonged period of time, according to research. This can be anything from having a cold shower or turning the water cold for a few minutes at the end of your shower to jumping into cold water to sitting in an ice bath for 3 to 5 minutes. And this is also something I think is really important. Next one here is optimize daily routines. The idea of you need to just think once about it and then roll it out from there. I'm a huge fan of designing optimal routines to really help avoid decision fatigue. We're already making on average up to 30,000 decisions in a day according to research. So the more we optimize and plan and just have it as a no-brainer schedule, it's just part of your day, the better. And so particularly optimizing your morning routine, that was a real game changer for me. For me, it included getting daylight exposure first thing in the morning to reset circadian rhythms. Also doing heart rate increasing exercise first thing, which promotes BDNF production, that brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which is like a fertilizer for your brain. And breathwork and meditation practice with some visualization and morning journaling, followed by a cold shower and an organic green juice to detox and replenish your body to start the day. Another big one is managing stress, which is huge for longevity. Looking at metrics like your HRV, heart rate variability, your breath, and meditation can be really helpful. We're living in a chronic stress epidemic, and it's hugely to the detriment of health. So you really wanna monitor stress and you can do, for example, the cortisol response test, but even just checking in on your HRV levels and your resting heart rate. And great tools for then managing stress include breath, meditation, and smiling. When you smile, you tend to relax and it triggers the body to thinking that you are safe. It can really create your state. And the beautiful thing is that these three things are all free. So let's look at part 2 of the triad for longevity, which is the mind. And you don't see it, but it controls all that we do. And I mean, how many of us are focused on optimizing our brain health? I've had the pleasure of interviewing some of the world's leading neuroscientists like Dr. David Perlmutter, Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. Kristen Willameyer, and Dr. Julia Jones, who are showing that not only can we reverse conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other cruel diseases, but that we we can optimize our brains for better memory, focus, and cognition for many years to come. So what can we do to improve our brain health? Well, focusing on consuming food and supplements our brain loves, like avocados, blueberries, broccoli, olive oil, eggs, green leafy vegetables, fatty fish, salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and herring, anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric and curcumin, walnuts, and dark chocolate. Yes, chocolate, which I love, ideally 85% or more cacao content. And a great brand made with organic stevia, which won't elevate your blood sugar and is actually good for you, is by NoMoSu. So a shout out to them, then you can check them out. NoMoSu is no more sugar, and they've got delicious chocolates that are actually healthy for you. Also using neuroplasticity to rewire your mindset. 8. This was a big one for me. Our brains are elastic, so you can create new neural pathways even as you age. What does that mean? Well, imagine you have a tendency for a negative mindset where your default thinking is being your biggest bully. That pathway is like a superhighway in your mind. With a trigger, it goes right there, while the maybe optimistic, positive mindset is more like a jungle path, and it needs a lot of clearing with a machete to get there. With repeated practice, you can shift the pathway and your mindset from the negative to the positive, essentially creating the positive mindset as the superhighway and the negative one as the jungle path. I can't emphasize enough how critical mindset is and rewiring it for the positive so that we can stop beating ourselves up and instead become our biggest cheerleader. As part of this, a meditation practice is really, really phenomenal to incorporate. And again, it's a practice of something that you do regularly. I love that neuroscience has caught up with ancient practices like meditation, so we can see on brain scans how meditation, a free tool, can synchronize our brain waves, help us thicken the corpus callosum, which is a connection between the left and right hemispheres in our brain, and become more creative, intuitive, and develop a higher EQ. Another tool is breathwork, which is excellent to help calm or energize the mind. It's free and readily available, found at the bottom of your nose, right? There are beautiful calming breathwork practices like box breathing, used by the US Navy SEALs, which is essentially breathing in for 4, holding it for 4, breathing out for 4, and holding it out for 4. Also energizing breath practices like fire breathing to Wim Hof breathing and halotropic 1.5-hour breathwork sessions. These are really, really powerful and typically a free tool as as well. Another one that is so beautiful and important is gratitude and presencing. Thinking of the future causes anxiety, and thinking of the past causes depression, but being in the now is actually all we have. Presence, as Eckhart Tolle says, that life is just a series of nows. So a gratitude practice and being in the present moment will also help raise your vibration and help rejuvenate you in an instant. Some other brain biohacks are for neural pathway rewiring, using those cool devices like BrainTap, or I'm currently loving the NeuroVisor. There's nutritional mushrooms like lion's mane, reishi, and cordyceps. There's vagus nerve stimulation devices for calming stress states like Sensate or Pulsetto. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy or HBOT for brain and overall wellbeing. To music, and this was really interesting. I mean, you can use things like white, brown, or pink noise to help to energize or to calm you. Using energizing music even is super powerful. And interestingly, in my podcast conversation with Dr. Julia Jones, AKA Dr. Rock, who works with Olympians and Navy SEALs alike, she shared that in dementia patients, typically the last part of the memory to go is the one that has music. So if you play a favorite song from younger years to a dementia patient, the patient can often remember the words despite Despite, despite hardly being able to speak anymore. That's how powerful music is for us. Now let's look at the third triad to longevity. A key to longevity, I believe, that's often overlooked. The journey of self-discovery, healing trauma and doing the shadow work, healing past trauma to finding love for yourself. How many of us don't love ourselves? And finding your purpose in life, what the Japanese call ikigai. As Joseph Campbell shares in his Hero's Journey, we all go through these phases of waking up and doing the work so we can learn and go on to help and to teach others. It's a journey of conscious awakening because you see all this optimization means nothing if you're suffering inside with unresolved trauma, a journey to remembering who you truly are. A journey of remembering that we are all connected, like the wave that forgets it is the ocean. Remember to make more time for fun and play, presence, love, and connection. Each of us needs this, and the world needs this more than ever. This has been a key part of my journey too. You see, I grew up in a house where we didn't talk about emotions. My mother, an eternal optimist, always just reassured me that tomorrow's a new day. My father, who was born in 1938, war-torn Germany. So any problem wasn't really a major problem that needed to be solved. And this led me growing up with an inability to discuss emotions and unresolved trauma, from being sexually abused as an 8-year-old for many years, not being able to talk about it, to feeling completely abandoned and alone in the world when my parents sent me at age 12 with my older sister to boarding school in a faraway country, leading to years of eating disorders to staying in a toxic marriage far too long, leading to postnatal depression and even suicide ideation at one point. We all have our painful stories. And I used to think I could just push these all down. And I was a champion of putting a smile on my face and a facade while the house was burning down inside. But that's when the real health issues creep up on you. All this optimization means nothing if we are suffering inside. If we have this unresolved trauma. So in my 30s, when I was melting down, I found meditation that led me to reconnecting with myself and my journey of healing that included talk therapy and EFT tapping to hypnotherapy to past life regression and even a between lives regression session to plant medicine. Last year, I had the pleasure of awakening my spirit even further with an ayahuasca retreat with Peruvian Shipibo shamans. It was, amongst others, a beautiful knowing, a remembering of what powerful creatures we are, each of us. In one vision, I saw myself as an infinite being in the cosmos with such an ability to create, and a reminder of what beautiful, powerful beings we all are, and how the ego was just this mini grain of rice, so tiny and small, and that we actually shrink ourselves from these beautiful down to this small ego, and we let our lives run from there instead of from the magnificent infinite creators that we actually are. It's time for us to remember the infiniteness of our oneness. Ikigai, find your purpose, and remember that we are all connected and one. This, my sweet friends, I firmly believe is the key to longevity. I'll leave you with this final thought: Please choose to step into the highest version of yourself today, not someday, because as we know, the road to someday leads to nowhere. May today be the day that you make the choice. The world needs you to step into that highest, brightest shining light you can be now more than ever. It's not just about longevity and optimizing yourself It's about becoming the shining light so that you can give from the overflow of your cup. You can find your true purpose and live that mission to serve your highest self and help the human collective. So let's take one moment here together and place your hand on your heart and close your eyes if you're not driving, of course, and just take a deep breath in and ask yourself, what is the vision you have for the highest version of you? The version of you that is limitless? How will you contribute to raising the vibration of this planet? What is the legacy that you're creating in this world? Really see it, visualize it, and most importantly, feel it. Be in that energy. This vision and version of you is available to you right now. Be in that vibration and start making choices and taking action from there. There? What is one small action you could commit to right now that will propel you towards your vision? Just take that one step, one small step at a time. Sweet friends, it has been an absolute honor and pleasure to speak with you today. Thank you so much for your listening and for your support.
