Pain is inevitable, but struggle is a choice. Like, there are always going to be hard things, but how you perceive them, how you approach them, how you feel and how you think about them or dwell on them is how you're going to actually perceive your whole life. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. It's time for another quickie, because there's always time to fit in inspiration. And I just wanted to take this New Year quickie to tell you about a couple of things that I'm doing in my life right now, and also just a couple of the things that we have coming up for you this year. So I do have a secret podcast that is coming out, so stay tuned for that. It's going to be called Operation Rekindle this Bitch, and it is totally unfiltered. It is a very different version of me than I am putting out right now. Not because I'm a different person, but because I think that there is a level that we are all editing ourselves. And you guys know it. You know this is true. We edit ourselves for all different reasons. Some of it is great, some of it is not. But I really wanted to kind of start having a place where I practice, like, just letting her rip, like, just saying what I actually feel. And I'm sure there's a version of me that's still edited on this, for sure. But I will tell you that it's definitely just a podcast that I want to release to say how I'm feeling in my life and almost be a little bit of a form of, like, freedom therapy for myself and hopefully for you. So you guys stay tuned for operation rekindle this 2025, because I'm excited about it. And that's one exciting thing that I have going on. Another thing is, obviously Glossy is just my absolute heart and soul and getting that business and product out into the world because I'm so obsessed with it. I just hired this incredible researcher to do even more research on our product just so I can really start talking about it even more in depth. And the really cool, crazy thing is that this researcher who works with a lot of different people and a lot of different doctors that I know, that's how I got the name was like, oh, my God. After doing research on your product, I want to take your product because it's so freaking good. Like, you chose all of the right ingredients. And that just made me feel even more excited about Glossy. And also, we've been able to pass on savings to you guys now that we've been able to up our Minimum order quantity because of all of you amazing freaking human beings who are now a part of the glossy community. And I don't know if you guys know this, but when you're in startup mode, when you're getting a product out in the world, it's a lot more expensive because your order quantities are a lot less and because in the beginning, your partners are taking a risk on you and you're just paying a lot more to get your product out there. So now that we've been out for a while, we've been able to tweak some things, work with some different partners. We've been able to pass on those cost savings to you. So if cost was a big thing for you before with Glo, you're going to want to go check it out. Go to getglosi.com and if you're looking for an amazing guy, gut health supplement and skin supplement, I am telling you also for immunity, it is literally life changing. So I have loved just how I felt on it and how much better and more hydrated and more plump my skin looks. And when you're aging every year, which you guys, I'm very excited about aging, but I'm also doing all of the things. It's one of the biggest things that you can do for yourself is make sure that you're getting all of those skin nutrients from the inside. Because you guys, if you're just using topical skin care, you're literally just scratching the surface. So if you think about it, it's just like you're putting band aids on things. You're just trying to cover up or, you know, take a topical route when really everything is internal. So go and check it out. Go to getglosi.com I think you're going to be really, really excited about that. Plus, we're launching a new website for it. Like, things are rolling. I'm so excited. We're also talking about some different possible development, so I would love to hear. You guys can just even DM me on Instagram because, you know, I look at all my DMS whenever possible. Sometimes I can't get to all of them and sometimes my team answers. But I would love to hear if you have any products that you wish that were coming out. Like, is there something that you would love for us to create? Is it for sleep? Is it a collagen product? Is it colostrum? Like, what are you interested in right now? I would freaking love to know. Another huge thing that is so freaking exciting for this year is that I have joined Chris in running his elite entrepreneur Mastermind. Now, this is really exciting because he has had this for quite a few years. Oh, my gosh. I think he's had it six or eight years. I am so bad with timelines, you guys. It's like one of my toxic traits. I really question my brain sometimes. I'm like, did that happen five years ago or 15 years ago? I'm really not sure. But I have joined him in running this mastermind that he has had for a long time now. I've always gone to the dinners and sometimes gone to the days to see the different speakers and be in the room because it's so freaking epic. But I've joined him this year because we've really wanted to grow the Mastermind a little bit more. So we want to make it a little bit bigger. We want to get some more diverse businesses in there, which absolutely is happening and has happened over the past couple years. And him and I just really, we love working together when we figure out that dynamic. And I think with the Mastermind, we've really figured it out. We both know our zones of genius. We know our lanes. Chris is really all about the strategy and I am all about the creative. And between our two networks, we get some of the most incredible experts in that room to help you. And we also attract really amazing people. I'm not gonna lie. We have worked so hard on just our programs, who we are, the integrity of the programs, how we show up. I feel really amazing about. If anybody ever has questions about any of our programs, asking any and all clients why it was a fit or even why it wasn't a fit, if it wasn't for some reason, because we truly stand by our events. We know that they work. We know that they transform. We have done this work ourselves for years and years and years. That's why we know it works, is because we have put ourselves in so many masterminds, it's not. Not even funny. And we know what has worked, we know what hasn't. We know that there's all different types of people that different things work for. So we try to get a really, you know, just a different range of things that are going to work in your business. We ask you to try different things on, to really experience, you know, what is going to work for you to scale. So I'm really excited about doing the mastermind with him this year. If you are going to make 500k or more, if you've made 500k or more in your business, these are the businesses that we're working with right now. We have a ton of seven figure people and beyond in this mastermind. And that's really what you want. You want a mashup of different people in the room. We have online businesses, we have brick and mortar businesses, we have beauty businesses, we have construction businesses. Like, it's all over the map, the different types of businesses that are in this room. So if you want to learn from all types of businesses and people, it's so important to get into these different rooms. So we would love, love, love to have you. The link is in the show notes below or you can DM word apply and I'll send you that information. But we would love to lock arms with you in 2025 for your business. And it's filling really fast, you guys. So if you're listening to this, if there's still time in January, we would absolutely love to have you. I think we have about. Oh my gosh, I'm not even sure by the time this comes out, but I would absolutely go and apply right now if you're interested. And we would love to get you on a strategy call with Chris or do an interview with you to make sure it's a fit. And if you decide it, you will get that strategy call with Chris. You get unlimited texting with Chris and everything runs through him. So you can ask me questions, but it is running through Chris. I am at all of the events, I am on all of the calls for Q and A every single month. And I literally can't wait to do this with you. Like, I already know so many of the people in there and I am obsessed. I'm excited. I am like, I want to hang out with these people. They're so amazing. And I know that you're going to feel that way as well. So something that I'm working on personally, and you guys are going to hear a lot, lot more of exactly what is working for me and what's not and what I'm doing in that Rekindle this Bitch podcast. But something that I'm working on right now is really focusing on removing the resistance around challenging things. And some of the ways that I'm remembering this is that, you know, when we find challenges or when we come across challenges, the more that we can take the resistance out of the thing, the less pain we're actually going to experience during the day, day or in our lives, period. Like, pain is inevitable, but struggle is a choice. Like, there are always going to be hard things, but how you perceive them, how you approach them how you feel and how you think about them or dwell on them is how you're going to actually perceive your whole life. And I'm also remembering that chosen challenge when it's things that have reward on the other side, like doing hard things, like going to the gym, like sending that challenging email, like choosing to go bigger in your business, like choosing to go into that mastermind that really, really challenges you and makes you feel totally uncomfortable and makes you question your worthiness. These are all positive challenges that are really going to grow your brain, and you're rewiring your brain to actually get dopamine when you start to find and seek those challenges. So even though I have a lot of resistance around hard things, still there is a sense of. Not even a sense. There is massive dopamine I have now rewired with challenges. That's why, you know, sometimes when you see people who you're like, oh, my God, that they're doing all these triathlons and their whole life is hard, like, don't get it wrong. They're sick and twisted because they've rewired their brain to get, like, high off that, to get hits off that. Can you imagine if you spent all of this year rewiring your brain to get hits and dopamine off of the hard stuff? Your life will look completely different. So even when I'm going to the gym now, I'm like, yes, this is what makes my life better. Yes, this is what successful people do. Yes. This feeling right here is what keeps me out of depression and anxiety. Like, I am the queen of rewiring. And it's only gonna get crazier. It's only gonna get better, you guys. So I hope that you go and check out that podcast. I hope that this has helped you. I hope that you get to be on our journey with us in 2025. There are so many things that I am focusing on that I wanna take you along this journey with and growing the Glo, a huge one. So I don't know if you know this, but you get a subscriber call every single month with me for free if you are a glossy subscriber. So huge perk. I mean, most people charge a ton of money just to coach with them once a month, live on Zoom. And I do that absolutely for free. And you get to connect with the community and do a bunch of breakouts with them. It is so much fun. So you guys go to getglossy.com go check that out. And look, look for that secret podcast that's coming out soon for the new year. Okay, you guys, I'm sending you so much love, and I will talk to you soon.
