Hi, I'm Lisa.

And I'm Emily.

And together we are the Conscious Collaboration podcast.

What's up?

How you doing?

That was all my notifications and all my note takers.

I don't know if you could hear it.

They honked.

Oh, they did?

Yeah.

Is that.

They liked what I had to say?

I think so.

I think it was like a celebration that we're all together.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, that is something to celebrate, right?

Gang's all here out of the hustle and bustle.

And that is indeed the vibe.

Yeah.

So anyway, we didn't get to really have a pre chat very much because of electronics being weird.

I don't know if that's because of like.

Yeah, I don't know if it's because of the.

I don't know if the weather has anything to do with it or the stars or plants or what.

Definitely not blaming it on Chupy.

I.

Right.

No, no, no.

Our AI with Chupy's title titling abilities as of late, that Florida man, spirit animals.

Pretty.

Pretty hilarious.

Yeah, it's pretty good.

It's been.

Yeah.

And it's interesting.

It's, You know, it's.

It's interesting how like, relevant that topic was after I. I know, like we recorded a couple weeks ago, but how relevant it was putting out the marketing and the conversation within the group.

All.

I know it has to do with algorithm and everything, but it was just everywhere.

Like spirit animal and Florida man and tortoises.

It's just been everywhere.

So I love it, love it.

It's very.

It's very affirming.

I don't know if I told you this story because I haven't talked to you in a while, but over the weekend, my little baby tortoise had an adventure in the backyard with its like oak leaves all falling out of my tree.

And we couldn't find the tortoise and it was at dusk, so we just left him out there for the night.

And it wasn't cold.

It was like one of the warm days or whatever.

And isn't it fine if it's cold?

No, it's this.

They're from Africa, so they need to have 80 degrees and humidity is good for them.

So anyway, we couldn't find him and we were so worried.

So Saturday morning I started looking for him.

Couldn't find him.

And I was like, wait a minute.

Like, I always help people with dowsing to find missing things.

So I was like, why don't I dowels to see if he's even in the yard?

Like, maybe he got next door or something.

And by the way, I don't know if it's a boy or girl because he's so little, you can't tell yet.

But a dowels.

And.

And I was okay, still in the yard.

And Adele's.

I was like, okay, the back right corner of the yard is where he is, according to Dowsing, like, three times I checked.

And I was like, well, maybe I'm so emotionally attached, let me have other people dials just to be sure.

And I had Ainsley, Dallas, my daughter, and I have one of my students dowels, and we all have the same thing.

And then I put it in my AI bot that I created for my work that I do.

I created, like, another version of me, but in AI.

And it was.

I don't know if I sent you the screenshot of it, but it said that the reason why I didn't tell it what I dosed it told me that I would find it in the back right corner because it contains the energy of Kuhn, which is like Mother Earth.

Its relationship, it's partnership.

And it's very.

Like, where he was located when we left him was in fire energy.

So it said he was probably tired because they sleep 18 hours a day.

So he probably went to the coon area to rest and feel protected.

And it said, he's definitely there.

And I was like, okay.

So I went out and I was like, let me just start raking leaves because it's just completely blanketed and these dry oak leaves, and you just couldn't see the.

Even, you know, the ground.

So I started raking.

And within, like, 10 seconds of scratching the leaves, I look up and there's a tortoise, like, walking towards me from the back right area of the yard.

Nice.

And he was just kind of like, oh, hey, what's up?

Ready?

Ready for my spinach, you know, like, so chill and so calm.

And I was so excited, you know, to see him.

And it was just very affirming that, like, this shit works, you know, like, the things that, you know, are very basic, like intuition and using these tools, these agent tools like dowsing, it works time and time again.

And then just to add in the layer of, like, the AI intelligence, it's like combining the ancient with the modern.

It flipping works.

And you say you gave him a name or.

No, no.

Popeye.

Oh, that's cute.

Yeah.

She didn't even pop by.

Yeah, we're.

We're getting lots of.

Well, so the AI tried to name it too.

So we think it's actually a girl based on what stage it is and the shape of its head and.

But I think they actually.

It's hard to identify until they're a little bit older, probably like another year before you can see the features.

But AI try to name it.

Really cute names, too.

And I can't remember them right now.

I have a whole chat on it.

But it was just such a cool, like, experience to have these different modalities.

And it was, you know, pretty wonderful.

Anyway, they all came together, and it's just, like, so great and so affirming to be plugged into these things that give you peace and an inner knowing when there's so much external chaos going on.

Because there's a lot of external chaos.

Going on, and especially even bringing in that kind of unbothered, like, slow tortoise energy, you know, to the.

The hustle and bustle and the chaos and what have you.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

So I'm happy to have the tortoise back, and I'm happy the kids are happy.

I thought, like, it was such, you know, like, such an impossible thing to, you know, like, oh, if I showed you the picture of my backyard, you'd be like, there's no way she's finding that.

Toward that baby.

Little, tiny baby tortoise.

Could have been any.

Could have traveled anywhere.

Mm.

Yeah.

So anyway, now, you know, talking to my neighbor about it, she's like, can you help me find my missing military id?

And I'm like, yeah, yeah.

So, I mean, it's one of those things, like, it's easy for me to do dowsing for other people, but, you know why I try to do blind dowsing for yourself?

Because you're so emotionally invested.

But I was able to use the AI and some friends as backup.

But pretty.

Pretty neat little past couple days there.

And we took Ainsley to see.

I don't know if you saw on Facebook, we took Ainsley to see a violinist on Sunday.

And the violinist was really very interesting, like, invented his own kind of music.

And I thought it was really cool.

It was me and Kevin and Ainsley.

And the violinist would play a set and then tell his story about, you know, how he came to be and do this type of music, which was, like, electronic violin.

And he didn't just, like, play the violin like normal.

He would also, like, bang on it or pluck it, just make different noises with it and then record different loops of it and play it back in one of those recording looper things.

Have you heard of Lindsey Sterling?

Yeah, I heard he's like Lindsey Sterling and.

But this is.

Yeah, it's.

It's kind of like Lindsey Sterling.

You know, he plays at music festivals and stuff.

But the reason why he got into it is he was working in tech, like computers for many years and love spreadsheets and techie stuff and everything to do with any.

Everything in his head.

But he went to a music festival against his will, and he was looking around and he was seeing, like, how everybody was dancing and flowing and really feeling from their heart.

And he was like, what is this that they're doing and why can't I do it?

So he went into, like this big practice of studying how can you get out of his head and into his heart space?

So he started just, you know, messing around with music.

Like, he tried to figure it out with his head how to get into his heart.

Isn't that funny?

So he, like, researched, you know, but one way to do that and find that heart connection is through music and creativity and play.

So his journey, and I think he was like in his 40s when he did this, was trying to discover how can he be more in tune with his emotions.

So he developed, probably inspired by musicians that he saw at the festivals to create this type of music.

And so each song, none of them are the same.

And he doesn't have, like, recreate or anything because everything he plays is emoting.

And so I thought it was pretty neat.

It was kind of like I was saying, you know, to Kevin and Ainsley, it's kind of like the experience of a Virgo trying to get into more.

I'm sure he's got Virgo in his chart.

Yep.

That's why I think too.

I mean, he said he still uses spreadsheets with his music, probably even more than when he was working in corporate, but he does it with more of his freedom and creativity and brings so much more joy to his life.

So his tour is called Human Kindness Tour, which was very appropriate for this weekend.

And it's called Dixon's Violin.

And he plays everywhere around the world, making a living off of something that he made up.

And I thought that was perfect for our podcast based on who listens.

And we reach people that create their own systems or entrepreneurs, change makers and thought leaders.

And it just.

Even a big part of what he talked to us about was his journey and understanding that making mistakes is okay.

And he said, I'm going to make about 17 mistakes tonight.

And.

And he said, and that's something you just have to get comfortable with.

I've learned.

And it Was perfect for, you know, I think many people in the audience to hear, including my daughter, who's very, you know, I'm sitting with two earth signs who are very perfectionist and very, you know, pragmatic about doing things.

And so to hear someone embracing the journey of making mistakes and realizing and celebrating the things that can come from that was really very cool, I think, and, like, pertinent to and.

And everything that we've been talking about.

Well, I would argue that mistakes are necessary, especially for any artistic endeavor.

Yes, exactly.

You wouldn't be able to come up with.

And that's exactly what he was talking about.

He lived his whole life so controlled by trying to be perfect and contained and put it in perfect, you know, boxes and systems and fail checks.

You know, think about computer testing.

We use the word perfect, but really what we're describing is rigidity.

Yes.

And if.

Yeah.

If you don't, what happens to rigid things?

Yeah, they break.

So.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But just, you know, really resonant with a lot of, you know, what we've been talking about over the years.

But I think just being in that energy opens you up to being connected with people that are.

Are attuning to heart, space and flow and possibilities and new systems and breaking paradigms and change for the better, even.

Just connecting with people in general.

Because nobody can relate to perfection.

Yeah.

People don't want perfection.

People want something that they can connect to, and perfection is not it.

Yeah, relate.

Yeah.

Relating to others.

Yeah.

So I don't know, just some really cool, you know, just real life examples of a lot of the things that we've been discussing just manifesting.

I don't know if that's, you know, just when you.

When you talk about something, it brings it into your awareness so you see it more.

Yeah.

So I don't know, but I'm really grateful for that, especially in a.

In a time, in a world when things are quite chaotic and, you know, we've been talking about heading full speed into fire horse energy.

And I think February 17, you know, is the official, like, time, but we're certainly in that, like, as we say, shadow period now of hustle and bustle.

And, you know, you're living it.

I'm living it.

We're multitasking, trying to make remember the importance of we don't have to exist in burnout.

No, you shouldn't.

You are enough.

Don't expect the impossible from yourself.

Yeah.

And just, you know, show up the best you can every day.

This was a.

This is reflected from, you know, A.

A what we actually got from.

From the company that I. I worked for the other day.

I love that.

That's a good little cherry on top of just, you know, today's.

Today's message.

Like, just, you're enough.

Yeah, I love that.

Exists in your company culture, and that's a good example of, like, new systems and sustainability that they're creating.

And they're creating holistic ways of supporting you guys and your client base, too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I feel like that is a great little nugget and the other nugget that I got from them recently, just in regards to, you know, being the.

The middle person in between, you know, upset members and, you know, their.

Their medication and what have you.

The advice was to be like a goldfish because they had short memories and they're very happy.

Yeah, I love it.

No, I think they sound like.

I mean, I haven't met them, but everything that you told me about them, it sounds like the perfect fit and a great thing that you've attracted into, just, you know, the direction that you're headed, supporting all of your missions and values.

It's like everything is rooted in your values.

That feels really good, for sure.

Well, what do you say we take this conversation inside of the Conscious collaboration, our close and private Facebook group inside the collective, and keep.

Just keep building on that.

Does that feel good to you?

Feels great.

Okay, well, I'll see inside there, and anybody who's not in there now, make sure you do click that link provided in the description.

And it's.

I promise you, it's.

It's a safe space space, very friendly people, and every now and then, we get some good conversation outside of this.

Love to hear it.

Okay, we'll talk to you in five.

Talk to you in five.

Bye, guys.

Bye, guys.
