And calibrates. This is going to skyrocket you to the next level. Sit down, grab your coffee. Let me know in the comments. I would love to see you. I love to just see you and know that you are here. So let me know in the comments you are here, and we are gonna rock this thing out. So good morning, good morning, good morning. I am so super pumped up. And, um, here's the thing, right? So yesterday we went hiking in this like incredible trail. I had no idea what we were getting into. I literally There's this place called Smith Rocks here in Central Oregon, and some girlfriends and I were hiking it a couple weeks ago. Oh, I'm like wobbling my camera here. And we were hiking a couple weeks ago, and they pointed over. They said, "Hey, have you ever done this hike? It's called you know Gray Butte." We are over here. Good morning, good morning. Hello, my ladies. Happy Mother's Day to all my beautiful ladies here. Hello, Kaylin. Hello, Elena. My love, my love, my love. Hello, Courtney Berry. Good morning. Oh. I'm so happy you're here too. Hello, Elizabeth. Hello, hello. So we were hiking this trail that I had no idea how to get there, no idea what we were getting into. And so we drive down this crazy dirt path, right? And you guys, I just washed my car. So we were driving down this path. Tiffany, hello, hello, my love. I love you so much. And we were like, okay, we Have no idea what's going on, what's happening here. Like, what are we is going on? And do you guys ever have those moments where you're like, "Ruh roh, I don't know if this was the best idea." We really don't know where we're going. We're kind of like following this map. We're not really sure. Like, is this gonna work out? Are we gonna be able to get where we want? And then we find this trail. We're so excited. We're happy. We're hiking. It's pretty, you know, it's pretty tough trail. And then about 2 miles in, we're like, oh my gosh. We look up at this trail and you guys, I am not kidding. I am a hiker, right? Like I love to do— I do like hip-hop dancing. I do like, you know, I stay fit. Right? Love to dance, love to, you know, just work out, do weights. And we look up this trail and it is 1 mile straight up, 1,400-foot gain. And for those of you who aren't out here in the mountains like I get to be, so blessed to do that, that is a really tough trail, right? And so we're with our friends. One of them is like, you know, 6'6. One of them's like a A gastroenterology doctor, cardiology doctor. I can't remember. And then me and my husband, and we're like, okay, here we go. We're going up this trail. And you guys, if you are a hiker, if you're not a hiker, we were huffing and puffing. I don't know how long it took us, but there was times, there was moments going up that trail when my calves burnt. There was moments going up that trail where I was like. You know, I could give up right now. I could give up. I could stop. I could sit down. I could just literally turn around and go back down this trail because it seems like the higher and higher I get, I would look up and the more and more I had to climb, the more and more I had to go. And the crazy thing is, like, my brain kept telling me just You can, you can just give up, it's okay, you didn't know what this trail was going to be like. Everyone else around you is huffing and puffing and struggling and, you know, one of my friends kept stopping and pausing and we'd all have to stop and like drink some water and be like, oh my gosh. But the crazy thing is each time I would stop and I'd get my water out and I'd put my pack down and I would look back and I would be like, oh my gosh, you guys, look at that. We were down there. See that tiny little person down there? Like we were down there. Look how far we've come. Look how far we've come. Wow. And then all of a sudden, I was back in the game, ready to do it. All right. We've come this far. There's no way I'm gonna give up now. We have come this far. We've got that much to go. But you guys, we can do this together. We can do this together. Just imagine what it's gonna feel like when we're at the top and we're drinking our water and we're celebrating and we have this view that's so amazing and we can stop and we can rest and we can eat some snacks and we can just celebrate together. It's gonna feel so amazing. It's gonna feel so amazing. So we kept going, you guys. I am Not exaggerating when I tell you that there was times I was looking down at my feet, just saying, "Okay, Val, one step at a time. Just go. Next step. Okay, yes, you've got this. I know your calves are burning, but keep going. I know your heart is pumping so hard, but it's okay. You are blessed. You have feet to do this. You're in. You know, you can do this. You've got the lung capacity. There's air in your lungs. Like just." Keep going. One step, next foot, next step. Next thing I know, I'm standing at the top. I'm standing at the top, and I look out around me, and I'm like, wow, wow! And I looked back down at where I was, and it seemed so. Long ago, and it seemed like, wow, every single struggle, every single heartbeat, every single time my mind wanted to tell me to give up and I didn't give up, it was so freaking worth it. It was so worth it. So worth it. We celebrated. We took a rest. We looked out at the beautiful surroundings. I will post it today so you guys can see it. I'll post it in my stories. And we were just like, wow, wow. Let me look at your guys' comments. Hello, hello. I've been on hikes like that where I felt like passing out and giving up and totally relate to those feelings. Yes, girl, yes. Elizabeth says our goals are kind of like this mountain. Oh girl, girl, girl, you are picking up what I'm throwing down here. Sherry Redgrave, hello, hello, good morning. I hope you're feeling better. Elizabeth says baby steps are still steps. Keep moving forward, keep moving forward. Courtney says my alarm just went off lyrics, you can do this, and you said you can stand at the top. Ah, I love how synchronistic we always are, Courtney, right? Am I right? So here's the thing, let's get real, let's get real. This is Coffee and Calibrate. Are you guys ready To freaking calibrate. If you're ready to calibrate, give me some hearts. Show me in the comments that you are ready to calibrate on this Monday morning. Brand new week, brand new set of opportunities right in front of us because we are powerful freaking entrepreneurs, business leaders. We're gonna rock the crap out of this Monday. We're gonna rock the crap out of this Monday. So I often tell my clients, and if Elena's still on here, she'll be like, yep, I've heard this one okay— this one before. Yes, absolutely, Tiffany, tea is okay. Let's spill the tea. Let's calibrate. Let's calibrate. I love it. I love your guys's energy. You are so amazing. I love you. I love you. I love you. And if Elena's still on here, she's gonna know what I'm talking about when I share this. The crazy thing about Entrepreneurs, the crazy thing about those of us who have chosen to step out of the box, we have chosen to carve a path where someone else, you know, no one has carved it before. I mean, granted, you might have other people in the industry that's doing the same thing as you or whatever, but like, you are stepping out. And there's those of us who have chosen We have chosen the path that is steep. We've chosen the trail that is so unknown, you know, like we didn't know what it was going to look like before we got there. We didn't know how steep things were going to get. We didn't know that there would be times that our mind was going to tell us To give up, that nobody would blame us if we just threw our pack down. We sat down. We turned around. We went back to corporate. We went back to this. Nobody would blame us if we gave up halfway through up the trail because it was hard. We weren't prepared. Maybe you didn't know how steep it was going to be. Maybe you didn't bring enough water. Maybe you didn't. You know, bring enough snacks. Maybe you just don't know if mentally or physically you are gonna make it another day. But the thing is, some of us have chosen to climb the mountain that has no peak. For those of you out there, you know, we're all at different levels in our businesses. We're all at different levels in our entrepreneurial journey. But the thing is, you know, like we— if you are a driven woman that like you, you know, maybe there's that, that peak just, just keeps getting higher and, and further away because you hit a certain level and you, you stop and you celebrate and you get to feel it and you get to be in that celebration energy and you calibrate and all of your clients around you calibrate and they go to another level and you get to another level. And I mean, just like imagine what that feels like when you calibrate and they uplevel because you're an iconic brand. You are the being, you are the one who moves first because when you move everything around you shifts. Your income shifts, your relationships shift, your client results shift, your business shifts, your, your happiness, your joy, your pleasure, your celebration, all of that shifts. And then you realize, okay, I'm here and I am so grateful for what I have now. I am so grateful for every single dollar that comes into my business, every single sale that I make. I celebrate every single new client I get. It is celebration energy times 100, and I'm celebrating their success, and I want to see them grow, and I want to see them like, I'm gonna put down my rope and I'm gonna help them climb up this mountain too so that when they get there, we get to celebrate together. And then I'm gonna take my eyes and I'm gonna look up at the next goal and I'm gonna keep going, not only for myself but for the people who are waiting in this moment, are waiting for me to step out To take action and step into my leadership, to step into my iconic brand where I lead. I lead. I move first. They move first. You know, I move first. They move with me. They move toward me. They calibrate. They get in that energy. They do it. They do it. Just, I mean, imagine that. Just imagine right now, like, really, like, let's take a moment to really feel into this. There's someone out there right now. I don't care if you are— well, I mean, I do care. I love you guys. But I mean, like, if you are a health coach, if you own a brick-and-mortar business, if you are a consultant, a coach, a, you know, if you're creating a product products, or if you have a service, like whatever that is, there is somebody out there right now praying for what you have to offer. Imagine that. Imagine that person. They are longing for what you have to give them. And that is powerful. That is powerful. Giving up is not an option. Yes, Kimberly! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I'm so happy you're on here. I love you so much. Your energy is so amazing. Your vibes. I like Earl Grey tea. How about you? I love that. Oh my gosh, I like, I like spicy tea. I don't know why, like I'm a spicy type of person, like chais, and there's like that— this really good— it's like a— I can't remember what company it is. It's like orange and white package, and it's like, um, sweet and spicy. That's like my favorite. And also Starbucks used to make like this really good one that I don't think they make anymore. Everything's based on vibration, energy, and frequency. Yes, girl! Yes, yes! All boats rising in a high tide. Oh, that's so juicy and beautiful. Amen to this. Yes, so true. I'm learning that with food right now. Oh girl, yes, yes, yes. Me, I've been there, done that as well. I used to have a very unhealthy relationship with food, um, driven, driven by my perfectionism, right? Like perfectionism, that's a— it's a big thing for us. Um, Kimberly, love that, love that. I love this, Val Nichols. I always tell my clients not to By not believing in yourself, you are going for your dreams. You're doing your clients a disservice because they are praying for you. Whole yes. Oh, Bengal tea! I love Bengal tea. That one too. Yes, that one's like um yeah, that one's really good. I drink that one too. Yay! I love it. So maybe next time I'll have to bring my tea instead of my coffee this morning. Um but you know like like that's the thing, you guys. When we when you think about it, I love what Courtney said because that's so true. I have I will call people forward if necessary. But like you know if we Have this gift, like I'll just lay it out there. And you know, like we have this gift to bring to the world, right? We have this gift to bring to the world. And like if you know, and you know I'm calling myself out because I sat in my I want to start a business. I'm not good enough. I can't charge for what I you know I can't charge for my services. It's not you know like that and all the stories I told myself. I sat in that for for a couple years before I finally just. stepped out and took action, and then everything shifts. But really honestly, if you know, you know that you know that you know, you have this thing, right? You have this thing inside of you that you know you are being called to bring forward something in the world. If you know that you have this purpose and this passion and this desire, it is literally selfish for us to hold that inside. Right? Like it is. We are doing a disservice to ourselves and to the entire world. I just got this thought of. I don't know if Karen is on here. I don't think she's watching, but a girlfriend of mine, Karen, she sent me a picture the other day. She sent me a text message and she goes, "You know, this is a this has got to be a great analogy." And I was like, "Ooh, I'm gonna figure out how to share that on like as a post or whatever, but I'll share it with you guys." Last summer— no, we were in COVID last year. So the year before, we— I have these, like, these mint plants in my backyard, and they have totally taken over, like, a whole corner of, like, one of our flower beds. And so we routinely have to, like, yank them out, bring them out. And I brought a whole bunch of these mint plants to my Toastmasters meeting. And so a bunch of the ladies, like, a bunch of the people took some and planted them in their gardens. And so Karen sent me this picture the other day. Oh, that's so cute. Of like it has spread this one. Like she had like one, maybe two mint stalks, and she just kept them in water. They created roots, and it has spread across this entire section of her garden. And I am like literally getting goosebumps right now talking about this. But I was like, oh my gosh, that is powerful. Right? Like, that is powerful when you think about sometimes, you know, maybe we don't see because we're so close to it. We don't see the effect that we're having in people's lives. But like, one mint stock planted that I gave to her, planted and has spread and spread and spread and spread so much that she's in like literally abundance. There's an overflow of abundance. Now think about that. If you can be that mint leaf— you're a mint leaf— if you can be that, if you can like, you know, spread one thing, plant one seed, plant one plant of opportunity, plant one seed of, of like just showing someone what's possible, showing someone joy, showing someone that even in the unknown, in the craziness, and all the things that happening in the world that we can still spark that joy, we can spark that passion. They're gonna go out and they're gonna plant a seed. And then, you know, 2 years later you're looking and there's this ripple effect where there's an overflow of abundance because you showed up for that one person. Mind-blowing, right? Mind-blowing. Because I know for me there were seasons in my business where I'm like, is anybody listening? Is anybody out there? Like, You know, some people don't really— like, they won't comment or they won't interact, but they're listening, right? So if you're not seeing the results yet, just know, put one foot in front of the other. You are climbing that mountain. And you know what? Like, it doesn't matter how long it takes you. You can absolutely get support, get a guide, get a coach that's going to help, you know, bring you up, lift you up, pull you up by the strings, carry you when you're tired, carry you and motivate you when you feel like you can't go on. But just know that if you're not seeing the results right now, you will make it. You will make it. Your mind will— your mind absolutely will tell you to give up long before, long before your endurance runs out. And that is what happens when we stand in our own freaking way. Our minds will kick in and talk us out of the thing, talk us out of whatever that is, right? Like the logic, the survival. Like I remember when I was training for like, um, running like half marathons, and my brain would tell me to give up. My brain would tell me you're gonna die. My brain would tell me all kinds of things, right? But I just kept going because my brain was— it was— I was standing in my own way if I listened to the, the, you know, all of the things in here, all of the overthinking, all of the, like, just the things that are trying to tell me, right? Like, so, you know, if you're recognizing that, just know that today as we sit here on Monday morning and we get to calibrate our morning, kick it off to a powerful start Don't give up. Don't give up. The path is hard. Yes, the trail is hard. It's very real. There, um, things come up, you know. Maybe you get sick. Maybe you, um, hit a financial bump. Maybe a client fires you. Maybe you, um, you know, your brain's telling you to give up. Maybe Your family's not supporting you in your vision, but whatever that is for you, keep going. Keep going. Like, imagine if you could choose between like giving up right now and just walking away from it all, and choose between that and like keep going. And even if it takes you a month, if it takes you a year, if it takes you 2 years, you will get to the top and you will Celebrate like crazy. Which do you choose? Stand in your own way, stay in overthinking, stay in overwhelm, stay in indecision, or putting one foot in front of the other and saying, "You know what? It doesn't matter how long it takes me," because when you hit success. You look back down at that path and you're like, oh, okay, yeah, that was worth it. That was worth it. And you celebrate. And of course, you know, I wouldn't tell you go out and hire a business coach if you're stuck because, you know, like, you know if that's right for you, right? Like, you know if that's right for you, and you know if, like, That journey, like you know where you're at. And so, you know, like if you're in that space where you recognize I'm in overwhelm, I'm in overthinking, I'm in all of that stuff, like just know that this path, it gets you know like it you will get there. You will get to the top. You'll be in that celebration energy. You will do it when you take action. When you shift the whole world around you. Shifts. You might be one decision away from the biggest freaking breakthrough you've ever had in your life if you just get out of your own freaking way. And look at some of your comments here. I'm drinking coffee. Oh, let me see. You may be the key to unlocking someone's door. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. You may be the key to unlocking someone's door. I'm drinking coffee, listening, and doing my nails. I freaking love you. Oh my gosh. I want to bring God's will on earth as it is in heaven. Amen, sister. Let's do this. Let's do this. And we get to do that one, you know, we, we get to create that. We get to create that. Um, having support on this journey and working through my own beliefs of asking for help equals weakness. Has been huge with my growth in myself and my business. Oh girl, you and me both. Like how many? I know we've got some high achieving women here. How many of you is it hard to ask for help or receive support? Right? Like we support everybody. We give everybody help. We want to help everybody. We we support people. But then someone's like, "How can I support you?" And you're like, "I what?" I don't, I don't, I don't even, I don't know, right? Like, this is like, this is my reaction a lot of times. Like, learning how to get support and learning that like getting help is not weakness, right? Like, I always thought that getting help was— thank you for the laugh. I know I'm so weird. I'm a weirdo, you guys. It's okay. Help me lead— or I'm sorry, I took 7 years to start actually see my success and fully Time income in my business. Yes, yes, yes. Paralysis of analysis, girl. Yes, this used to be me. Yep. Seven is the number of completion. True fact. Seven is the the biblical number. Me, Elizabeth says me. Elena's like me. Yes, we've got some people here that get in their own way. This is like I mean like you guys, um you probably wouldn't be surprised to know that that is like. High achieving woman, doubting herself, being in her own way, not asking for support, not asking for help, staying really busy, overanalyzing, being in your head. It is all the same. It's the same puzzle, right? Like it's the same piece of pie, and it's like it's crazy. I still get paralyzed when people ask me how can I support you and help you. Same girl, same. I'm I'm getting a lot better at it, like a lot better, but um. You know, sometimes it is hard. Like, it's, it's even hard, but that's when I know I have to press in. Like, I found myself in that space, like, I'm good, I have success in my business, like, I'm not, you know, I'm not worried about having clients or anything like that, so I'm good. And then I was like, oh dang, that means I need to go— I really need to go, like, do something scary to motivate me bigger, you know? Because I know for me, I can get in that complacency of, like, I'm good. I don't need support. I'm good. So I went and paid in full a huge investment on a program that I was really like, I was you know, I don't know if I really need it. I don't need to go to the next level. Like I'm good. I've had some success. But like I was like, you know what? I'm gonna challenge myself, and I'm just gonna go all in and pay full price for this. And it's gonna be a little scary. Yeah. But the moment I clicked that button, like by now, I was like. What? I up-leveled like automatically. Have you guys ever had that feeling where like you say yes to something and you like click buy now or you do whatever, you do the action, and then you're like, boom, I just freaking up-leveled just by even taking that action, right? Like it is— there's nothing like that. It is absolutely amazing. All right, ladies, so, um, yes. Know that this path, it's a hard one. Yeah, that's real, right? And we have the power. We are lionesses. Here's roar. Oh my gosh, I love that because I'm like totally the wild, you know. I totally forgot about that. Yes, yes, yes. So, you know, just know that things are real. Things are happening in the world. Things will happen in your life, right? There's, you know, stuff will come up. We You will hit your edge. It will feel hard. There will be times when your mind is saying, just give up, give up, give up, give up, long before you get to the destination. And just know that if you just keep putting one foot in front of the other and you freaking calibrate and you go, just know that at the top, I'll be there with you. I'm going to celebrate. We're going to stand shoulder to shoulder and we're going to celebrate every single freaking win that you have. That's what this group is about, you guys. When I post that, like, brag about yourself— I've been— I did it last Wednesday and I had one person. And I don't know, like, I don't know if like the algorithm's just off in the group, but, um, I had one person celebrate her win. And I was like, ladies, we get to celebrate each other, right? Like, we get to celebrate. That's what this group is about. We are the Wild Tribe. We are fierce. We are women that don't sit back and wait for things to happen, right? We are participating. We are in the game. We don't play on the We are women who are freaking those lionesses. We are roaring. We are the pack. We are the pack that is surrounding each other. We are celebrating each other's wins. We're beside each other when we're going up that mountain. We're saying, girl, you've got this. Here's some water. I'll carry you. I feel tired too. Let's keep going. Let's keep going. Let's celebrate. Let's win. Let's do this. Let's go. Let's uplevel, let's calibrate, let's be freaking iconic together, let's be the leaders who move first, let's help create that ripple effect where next thing you know you touch one person, I touch another person, and we're creating a ripple effect around the world where we're seeing heaven on earth, where we're seeing people uplevel, we're seeing people calibrate all around us, we're seeing people come out of, you know, addictions, or we're seeing people come out of their excuses or whatever's holding them back.

I love you, love you, love you. Toxic masculinity. Let's talk about this. So toxic masculinity. There is there's we all have the equal, the feminine. We have the masculine, right? We have the feminine, the masculine. And this will be this is a great topic I should go deeper into. We have feminine and masculine, and this has nothing to do with like your gender, your identity, whatever that is. Like we each have this balance. What ends up happening when you're in your toxic masculine is it is a lot of what the culture, the hustle culture, is teaching you. The hustle culture is go, go, go, do, do, do, check the box, you're never good enough, hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle, acquire more, all of it, do it, hoard it, be it, in it. What happens if you're in your toxic masculinity is maybe you are so focused on a goal That like you're not even enjoying your business anymore. You like get to a goal and instead of celebrating, you just kind of go, okay, what's next? I'm not good enough. I need to keep going. I need to get more. I need to do more. I used to operate in toxic masculinity. What would happen is, um, you know, even my personal relationships suffered very greatly because one, I didn't have time Who has time for relationships? I gotta work, hustle, do, do, do. You know what I mean? Like, um, I'm gonna tell a really embarrassing story, but like, so when I was in my 20s, you know, when I was in my 20s, early 20s, I used to, um, if I was on like a bad date, I used to get mad. I would be like super like pissed off inside thinking like, you know how much money I could have been making right now? What? I'm wasting my time with this guy. That is toxic masculinity. Or I used to run so— it was a chore. I would be running and I would make myself just go and go and go. I was throwing up. It was raining. It was cold. I didn't enjoy it. It was more of like, you've got to do this. And then again, I had unhealthy eating patterns. I was anorexic and bulimic and all of those things back in the day. Because I was never good enough for myself. This is another reason why I drank a lot. And this was all a decade ago. This month, it'll be 10 years. But that's the toxic masculine of just being so much in the ego, being so much in the look good, being so much in that environment. And so if you recognize you're in that space, there's things you can do. You're probably not at the extreme I was, But you know, if you recognize some of that, like you're not enjoying, you're not having fun, you're not playing in your business, you're not experiencing pleasure, then that's the toxic masculine. And what you can do is get into the feminine, right? Like that's why, I mean, I love pink. And there's some people out there that might say— I actually read a post on Facebook that was some, some marketer. It was like an advertisement. And she said, you can't make six figures with your pink brand. And I was like, um, yeah, you can. Yeah, no, you you absolutely can. Like what? It was really funny. But like you know, like I I choose that because I like to be in an environment. This might sound really weird to you guys. But my office is my spot, right? Like, I've got my pink fuzzy pillow, my pink backgrounds. I have my pink fuzzy blanket that I wrap myself in. I mean, like, my space in here, it— like, I have pictures of— I have the Serenity Prayer up on the wall with like this beautiful ocean view. I have, um, pictures of my husband and I. Very feminine vibe in here because I want to be in a space of creation where I feel turned on. I feel lit up. I feel so energized and in my energy. And I don't know if you guys have been— if I've talked about this in here, but I've been doing this thing where I am having my— I'm giving myself the opportunity to stop in the middle of the day because I usually work out or have my morning routine and then I work out. And then instead of just taking a shower, I take an hour-long bath. And I put salts and candles. I drink my, um, some fizzy water, you know, like some LaCroix out of a champagne glass to feel beautiful and fancy and in my feminine. I've put rose petals in my bath. Like, I go all out, right? Um, if Elena's still on here, she actually called me when I was in the bath, and I was like, she's calling me randomly at like, I don't know, it's probably like 3 in the afternoon. I was like, I'm gonna answer because I freaking love her and I want to celebrate. And we got to celebrate something that was really awesome that happened for her, you know. But like, I'm allowing myself that time and space, a lot of space right now, which honestly was a little bit uncomfortable for me. I was like, what do I do with all this time? Because I have like my teams up and running, they're doing the things. So, um, you know, like, I, I'm savoring that. I'm savoring this season where I'm being called to just be, just be. I just— I'm— I get to be in my business. I get to be the powerful leader that is leading other women to like huge transformations, you know, like huge numbers in their businesses. None of my clients hit less than, what, $97,000 I think was the lowest this year. And that was like, she started her business in March on the day that we went into shutdown, like what, last year, 2020? So I mean, like, you know, they're doing some amazing things. So I get to be in my feminine, I get to receive, I get to be, you know, feel the romance and the love with my husband, to be like really in connection with him. Which is so pleasurable and satisfying and beautiful. And I used to not be able to receive that, right? I've been able to create spaces where I've been around amazing women who are just feeding my soul, and I get to serve them and they get to serve me. And it's just, oh, it's beautiful, right? Creating this space is beautiful, all of the things. So if you recognize that maybe you're a little bit more in the hustle than in the flow, you can get back in the flow by doing some of those things I talked about: drinking tea, feeling it, the warmth in your body, taking a bubble bath and like feeling the water and like just enjoying it, enjoying the space, enjoying nature. I live around so many amazing rivers, so just sitting there and listening to the water, watching the water, and just like like clearing my mind and not thinking about all of the things, creating Sabbath space. This is something I'm learning in this Bible study I'm going through, is like creating that Sabbath space of just rest, of knowing that, like, feeling so much gratitude for what you have and where you've come from, right? Like looking from the top of the mountain down into that where, like, where you've been. And you guys, like, I was practicing this yesterday during church, and I was— I literally, like, I started crying Because I was like, oh my gosh, look how far I've come. Look how far I've come and what God has brought me through and what has happened in my business. Yes, I truly believe that there is that power of God is giving me that vision, God is giving me that thing, but I am the one that is required to take that action, to go all in, to do something about it. So I mean, I was feeling so much gratitude that I was just like crying. It was beautiful. So I hope that for all of you. And remember, you are powerful, you are amazing, you are incredible, you are wild. Hear you roar. I love you guys so much. I need to jump off because I do have another call, but, um, I love you. Um, join me in— I have the, the challenge going on. If you went in on that, just let me know. Also, if you want in on the Iconic Brand Mastermind. It is going to blow your mind. You are going to uplevel like never before. It's going to be crazy, awesome, insane. Oh, I'm just so excited. This vibe, this container is just like— it's like nothing you've ever done before. It is like nothing you've ever done before. It's gonna be so amazing. I love you so much. I see you. You are amazing. Go make your Monday amazing because this is a brand new week with all kinds of brand new opportunities. I will see you soon. Bye!
