Hi, I'm Lisa.

And I'm Emily.

And together we bake the conscious collaboration.

I don't know why I wanted to say the conscious collaboration.

Sandwich.

Yes.

Sometimes we are a sandwich.

Sometimes there's someone else.

Yes.

Don't ask.

I don't know.

Doesn't sound right.

So we didn't even have our pre chat today because things are crazy.

We're just winging it.

We're just winging it.

Like, more than we've ever won it.

Wang it.

Wang Chung.

I'm not even wearing makeup today, so this makes it too.

You're a natural beauty.

My natural beauty.

It's my natural wake up and go to work.

Working.

Working through.

Over to the table there.

Yes.

Did you elbow.

Yes.

Oh, no, that's.

That's the zoom effect.

Dramatic.

Yeah, it does that.

So you want to do a quick check in?

Do you want to?

Probably.

We're.

We're a little bit succumbing to the holiday rush that I.

So I'm like, people, why do we do this?

But I'm.

I'm in it too, so maybe that's why.

I was thinking about a sandwich.

I feel like we're just sandwiching everything into a couple of days just to squeeze out that one day off.

It'll be worth it.

Well, yeah, I mean, I. I feel that, too.

I was.

I was saying that last week, like, I felt like everybody last week wanted to get everything done by Friday because they were taking off this whole week.

And so all of my projects had this impossible deadline of Friday, and they didn't finish all of them because it was impossible.

But, you know, like, what's a real.

Like, why.

What was the deadline for?

Because, like, the planet's gonna not be the same after this week.

I don't know.

I'm still here.

We've got some interesting programming in us.

But.

Yeah.

So, you know, because this is, by the way, because I think this episode will come out then the Tuesday before New Year's, but we are currently recording in the Tuesday before Christmas.

So next week is New Year.

I mean, next week is New Year.

So it'll come out the second week.

So this episode comes out right before.

On New Year's Eve.

This comes out.

Oh, yeah, it does come out on New Year's Eve.

Does.

Yeah.

So Happy New Year, guys.

Happy New Year.

You made it.

We hope we're there, too.

The theme of our.

Our check in.

Like, any.

Any last words?

Any last words?

Any last words from.

From the universe?

All right, let's see.

Let's see.

What are the last words?

And what do we need to know going into.

What are the last words?

Everybody.

People.

Yes.

Too many till midnight.

What are you gonna do?

Yeah, I don't want to have this, like, excessive pressure.

Pressure Cook.

Yeah.

Okay.

That's a.

So I'm just consulting the I Ching.

The final words of the new year.

Harmony.

I like that.

Ready?

Harmony Sandwich.

Harmony Sandwich.

Spread some Harmony.

All kinds of title ideas for us.

Yes.

Chupy's our AI, by the way.

Yes.

Yeah, it was fun talking to the AI Last week during the episode.

Creepy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We gotta do a whole episode like.

That one time talking to the AI Moving forward with great vigor.

That.

That card loves us.

And it matches my little jersey, by the way.

Oh, yeah, it does.

It does coordinate.

Yeah, that would be a great, great vigor.

This would be a good wallpaper pattern or mural pattern for.

Behind you.

Mm.

So quickly summing it up.

All right.

Harmony.

We know the story here.

How many change lines are there?

Not too many.

So as we talk about last words or final words for the year is really only one significant change line.

Let's see what that is.

Line four.

Okay.

When general confidence is high, the large and the small influences mingle pleasantly.

It furthers the strong to meet with the weak or the wealthy with the poor.

For the lowly possess a kind of truth that penetrates to artifices created by excessive advantage.

Mutual benefit is the key.

Spontaneous contact based on the truth of inner feelings never fails.

That's interesting.

So, like, to have conversations perhaps with someone outside of, like, your life experience at this time might shed some light.

Perhaps.

Yeah.

The true way the world has been so polarized.

Yeah.

Over the last handful of years.

I think.

I think that's always a good personal development exercise, is to have conversations with people who don't think like you.

Yeah.

I mean, it's so These days.

How dare I?

No, no, you should.

It's good for you.

Yeah.

Have.

Have conversations with people that are not in your circle.

So that makes sense for.

If you're going to a party.

Yeah.

There.

There might be something to learn.

Whether it's learning down the social ladder.

Up the social ladder.

And it does say to be vigilant and discriminating.

Peaceful conditions promote the growth of weeds as well as flowers.

Okay.

So to that point, you are going to be talking to people outside of your circle.

Make sure that you know you're being discerning of how much you're sharing or what you're promising because you don't want to attract a weed.

Perhaps that might choke out whatever is happening in your abundance garden.

So I took that.

Yeah, I took that too, as also, like, if you're only having, if you're only exposing yourself to the peaceful conversations, if you're only exposing yourself to the exact like minded individuals, then it's easy for that to kind of turn into complacency and for, you know, weeds, quote unquote, to grow in that environment as well.

That may not be.

I mean, this whole, this whole hexagram tells a story of recognizing the cycles of humanity and nature and things can't be peaceful and harmonious all the time, but feuds do end and when they do, the energy is quite high and the way forward is clear and the prospects for great success are outstanding.

Yeah.

So carefully responding to the rhythm and cycles of times can help find peace in a natural world.

And just adjusting yourself, your personal life and your business needs to these natural cycles and these seasons promote that flexibility that we talk about all the time.

And then great vigor, which we do get quite often.

So final last words.

Congratulations.

There is strength and vigor in this situation.

Like that of a ram that knocks down a fence to free himself from captivity.

Yeah.

We've literally had this exact thing recently.

And we wouldn't have.

We even have a graphic, I think, with a ram in it.

That's how many times we've gotten, gotten this.

It's like throughout the year of 2025, we could see this energy coming and then we would go forward and then backwards and then forward and then backwards.

And I think if I went back through all of our content, this started happening where we were seeing this energy in the end of summertime, going into fall.

Yeah.

So we started like seeing like peaks of this like great bigger and then somehow there would be like a two steps back kind of thing.

But perhaps that's part of like the.

Transition into you can't go balls to the wall 100% of the time.

Have you noticed how many other podcast and content creators are putting out information about the year of the Snake and then moving into fire horse energy?

Yeah, I mean, it just validates that we're getting, you know, accurate information.

Well, we are getting accurate information.

And also it's just this type of talking about energies and how it affects us really hasn't been mainstreamed to this level until recently.

I don't know.

Either that or it's like yellow car syndrome.

Yeah.

Maybe, you know, that's not an actual syndrome, but you know the saying where you're, if you're thinking about or Talking about yellow cars, then all you see is yellow cars.

Yeah, just playing Devil's Advy.

It could be.

Yeah.

I mean, it could just be the people that I'm surrounding myself with.

I mean, I don't know about the collective, but it's certainly the conscience, collaboration, collective.

And all of our guests.

And.

Tell us, have you.

Have you been hearing this same theme in.

In other places, too?

And do you think that it's new or the.

It's always kind of been happening and we're just.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's old information.

Right.

So, like, grandmothers and stuff.

It's ancient, the story.

So it's been talked about in family, especially around Chinese New Year.

New Year, it's been talked about, but now it just seems to be more closely followed.

Like people are really searching.

Like what?

Like this existential reasoning for the way things are transpiring and how we're being affected and trying to get ahead of.

Feels like that's a more mainstream conversation where it might have just been for families to have in the past.

We just have different channels to.

To share the information now, too.

You know, unless they uncover an ancient YouTube.

Ancient version of YouTube.

But.

But yeah, I think.

I think we've just got a lot more tools to pass down the things that previously could only be passed through the grandmothers.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And certainly in our generation, a lot of our.

A lot of us had grandmothers that weren't necessarily educated by higher education, but rather by, you know, their higher education was folklore and things that were passed down through the generations.

And now, like, that kind of doesn't exist anymore unless we're sharing that.

Yeah.

So it does talk about, you know, final last words that we can take with us is if you find yourself in an influential position, it's important to act responsibly and react with care.

Not to allow.

Not to allow there to be force.

Not trying to manipulate anything.

A strong sense of responsibility for the collective good is key to successful exercise of power.

So everything about the best for the collective and then following what we know intuitively to be best for the greater good will avoid reckless abuses.

Yep.

Don't end up like Diddy.

Oh, my gosh, I can't.

That's what happens when we abuse our power for.

You can't take enough showers.

Yeah, that's.

That was horrible to watch that.

It's an uncomfortable watch.

But I think, you know, I think it's.

It just also, it was so interesting how young and how cute, like, everybody was.

And I just, like, always assumed them to be so much older, but they were babies at the time.

Yeah.

You know, Tupac and.

Wow, the camera really came in.

Yeah, Tupac was like a baby.

And Biggie, 25, I think, when he was killed.

Yeah, it's not crazy.

I just.

But I mean, I guess I was little, so I just pictured him bigger than, you know.

Well, he was definitely always wise beyond his years and probably beyond his species.

Species, in my humble opinion.

But.

Yeah.

And now watching it, he just had such a baby face.

Yeah.

Anyway.

Yeah.

So that's our check in.

I'm.

I'm ready.

Kind of ready.

Yeah, we're ready.

You've been training for this.

I've been training for this my whole life.

Yeah.

Well, good, good.

Quick check in.

I hope this served everybody well.

And if it didn't, let us know.

If it did let us know.

You can join us inside of the Conscious Collaboration Collective, our closed and private Facebook group where you can hang out with us, our guests, and our friends and our listeners.

And.

And we look forward to inviting you and many other guests on in the new year.

They're already lining up.

Yes.

Happy New Year's, guys.

Be cool.

Yes.

Talk to you next year.

Cheer, guys.
