Jument vient du latin jumentum “attelage” lui-même issu de jugum “joug”. Jument a donc à l'origine le sens de “bête de somme ou de trait”. Le sens de “femelle du cheval” n'est attesté que vers la fin du XIIe siècle. Jusqu'à la découverte des avantages de la castration, qui permet de changer les étalons en "hongres". Dans les régions où cette pratique de la castration est refusée culturellement, les juments étaient préférées aux chevaux mâles pour les besoins utilitaires et pour la guerre, en raison de leur docilité. Certains peuples comme les Bédouins donnaient la préférence aux juments pour leurs raids à cheval. D'autres cultures ont préféré les étalons par volonté d'avoir une bête plus combative, ou en raison de l'inconvénient principal de la jument, qui est la perte de son potentiel de travail en cas de chaleurs, de grossesse, ou de mise-bas. Contrairement au terme “étalon” qui peut s'appliquer à d'autres espèces comme les ânes, le terme “jument” est exclusivement réservé à l'espèce chevaline. En général, une pouliche devient jument à partir de 3 ans. En sport hippique, le terme s'applique uniquement aux animaux de plus de 4 ans. Jument se traduit par mare en anglais, Stute en allemand et llegua en espagnol. En irlandais et en écossais, le mot est marc, et en breton marc'h. Toutes ces formes celtes seraient d'origine gauloise. Parmi les juments célèbres, le géant Gargantua monte la gigantesque Grand Jument dans les œuvres de Rabelais. Flicka, créée par Mary O'Hara, donne son nom à un célèbre livre pour la jeunesse. En bande dessinée, Arabesque est la rusée monture du Caporal Blutch. Marcel Aymé a intitulé l'un de ses romans La jument verte, dont Claude Autant-Lara tire un film scandaleux en 1959, avec Bourvil dans le rôle principal. Le terme peut avoir une connotation particulière en pornographie, où “étalon” désigne l'homme dominant, et “jument” la femme soumise._______

Den första fråga många nyblivna föräldrar får är om det blev det en flicka eller en pojke. Men könet är inte alltid så självklart som man kan tro. I en del sällsynta fall kan det vara svårt att avgöra med blotta ögat och det som ser ut som det ena kan ibland visa sig vara mer oklart. Professor Anna Nordenström har ägnat hela sitt forskarliv åt att ta reda på vad som kan gå snett under fostrets könsutveckling.    

Hon var “Lillan” med hela svenska folket, men vem var egentligen Ellinor Taube? Journalisten Ellinor Skagegård har läst brevväxlingen mellan Ellinor och pappa Evert.

Frederica von Stade has had a fabulous career as an opera singer, recitalist, and concert artist. In her long career, she has performed and recorded internationally, working with major conductors around the world (Karajan, Bernstein, Abbado, to name just a few.) In addition, she has championed the works of many contemporary composers, most notably Jake Heggie, with whom she has a strong friendship. Known as Flicka, she is both unassuming and gracious, and it was a highlight to have the opportunity to speak with her about her life and career.We begin our conversation by talking about her connection with composer Jake Heggie, how they met, how she was instantly attracted to his music, and how Heggie's first and most popular opera, Dead Man Walking, came into being. Using that as a springboard, I then ask how an opera is put together from a singer's point of view. She then talks about how to maintain a healthy voice, working with nerves, and we end Part 1 discussing two of her favorite composers - Mahler and Debussy.[Part 2 for Subscribers]: As a young girl, Frederica von Stade was first drawn to musicals and only later became involved in opera, and so she speaks of some of her early experiences with musical theater. I ask if she feels that she has been influenced as a singer by any instrument, and (no spoiler alert) her answer came as a total surprise! We end with a discussion of the charitable work she has done, specifically with the Young Musicians Choral Orchestra.Would you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?

En fullmatad timme med Gynning & Berg! Det blir rika kvinnor i övergångsåldern på zombie-tours, det blir Cowboy-Dina som är i kris, det blir en snälltolkande Berg som undrar varför hennes liv är så långt ifrån hennes liv, och framför allt blir det besked i en av de mer brännande frågorna: vem är egentligen boven som ÄCKLAR ner?

I dagens avsnitt gästar älskade Claudia Behnan! Hon berättar om sina erfarenheter av att vara mamma till en son, som från att han var 3år, inte har velat leva eller klä sig inom de stereotypiska könsnormerna. Det är ett gripande, viktigt och fint samtal som mer än ofta leder till storgråt. - När förstod dom som föräldrar att Malle ville gå sin egna väg? Hur hanterade dom det? - Hade Claudia och hennes man samma syn på det?- Hur har syskon, vänner, släkt och skolan reagerat? - Handskrivna hotbrev, hatkommentaret, soc-anmälningar om sexuellt trakasserande mot barn och kränkningsanmälning på förskolan. - Hur mår Malle? Hur identifierar han sig? - Hur gör han på badhuset? I omklädningsrummen? Vill han använda baddräkt eller badshorts? - Har båda föräldrarna samma inställning? - Varför bryter Ellinor ihop när Claduia berättar en historia om en motorcrosstävling?- Självmordsstatistiken för män och transpersoner. - Heteronormer, patriarkatet och HBTQI+ - En viktig röst när samhällsklimatet och människosynen bara blir mer och mer svart eller vit. - Hur ska vi föräldrar tänka? Vad för vi vidare för åsikter till våra egna barn? Medvetet som omedvetet.- Varför anmälde en pappa på förskolan Malle? - Varför orkar Claudia fortsätta dela med sig urklipp ifrån familjens vardag, trots de enorma mängder hat hon får? - TikTok stängde permanent ner ett utav hennes konton, pga massanmälningar om sexuellt trakasserande mot barn. - Varför är utomstående brydda av vilken sexuell läggning eller könsidentitet en främling har? - Vad bottnar alla fördomar i? - Claudia tvingas ställa ett oerhört tufft ultimatum till sin älskade mamma. ”Acceptera min son och våra val, eller bryt kontakten helt”. Hur reagerade hon? - Är man själv beredd att offra sin egen relation, för att ens barn ska få vara den hen vill? Älska den hen vill? Klä sig hur den vill? Identifiera sig som den hen vill? - Som förälder till ett barn, speciellt som HBTQI+ måste man kunna leva med sig själv i framtiden. - Vad händer med ett barn som tvingas vara någon dom inte är? - Är det skillnad relationen mellan pappa-son och mamma-dotter?- Könstillhörighet, ångest och kirurgiskt könsbyte, hur ser Malle, Claudia och familjen på framtiden?Kan du inte vänta tills måndag eller torsdag?

Today, we are replaying a compilation of inspiring tales from dog moms who faced various challenges with their reactive dogs and then completely turned things around.   From dogs barking incessantly at fences, reacting aggressively on leashes, fearing strangers, or simply refusing to move on sidewalks due to panic, these stories shine a light on hope. No matter the existing relationship with your dog - even if it's already good - there's so much more!,   These dog moms embraced the partnership principles, and with a change in mindset that led to a trust-based approach, they transformed their relationships and their life with their dogs.    Key Takeaways:   Importance of Partnership: Many dog moms who faced challenges with their dogs achieved transformation by adopting the 'partnership approach'. This approach focuses on mutual understanding, trust, and cooperation rather than traditional training methods.   Mental Shift Over Training: A recurring theme is the transition from trying to "fix" the dogs through intensive training sessions to changing one's mindset. By understanding and connecting with their dogs on a deeper level, many dog moms found that their dog's behavior transformed, without intensive training.   Challenges Vary: Dogs can exhibit a range of unwanted behaviors, from aggression to fearfulness. Each story emphasizes that regardless of the nature of the challenge, there is hope for improvement and transformation through a trusting partnership.   Empathy and Understanding: In multiple stories, dog moms expressed a profound sense of empathy, both for their dogs and for other dog moms facing challenges. This sense of community and understanding underscores the shared experiences of dog moms.   Continuous Journey: While many stories highlight significant improvements, they also suggest that the journey with their dogs is continuous. The emphasis is on mutual growth, understanding, and exploring the depth of the bond between human and canine. Listen to these live interview snippets and get inspired to nurture a partnership lifestyle with your own dogs. Their stories are testament to the transformative power of a partnership-driven approach. Featured Stories: 1. BETTINA and Murphy: Adopting Murphy, a deaf dog, posed numerous challenges for Bettina. Beyond his hearing impairment, Murphy was anxious and often acted out, leading to household disruptions. However, Bettina's shift towards a 'brilliant partnership' approach transformed their lives.   "I stopped trying to fix Murphy... The neighbor who was upset about our barking dogs last year asked me why he hasn't heard my dogs barking now. BPA has been a life-changer for us."   2. ANYA and Zoe: Zoe, a rescue, initially showed aggression towards other animals and would run away during walks. However, after participating in a partnership workshop, Anya discovered a new approach to their relationship.   "It feels like a mutual exploration of the love we share."   3. MARIANNE with Clover and Bowie: Formerly leash-reactive Clover and over-enthusiastic Bowie made walks a challenge. Now, Marianne cherishes the harmony they share during their outings.   "Our walk today was perfect... It was about understanding and learning from each other."   4. SUE and Charlie: Charlie, a rescue dog, was driven by fear and had a strong urge to chase, causing Sue physical injury. As a professional dog trainer, Sue realized the value of partnership over pure training.   “Moving from a transactional relationship to one based on heart-connection made all the difference... Partnership principles are now central to our lifestyle."   5. MARY and Flicka: Flicka's overactive behavior was a cause for concern for Mary. Her dreams of agility and herding seemed distant. However, by adopting the partnership lifestyle, Mary and Flicka now enjoy a harmonious bond. Quote: "We're now deeply engaged in forming brilliant partnerships, cherishing every day."   LOVE TO LEARN MORE?  Become a calm and confident Dog Mom with a cooperative, happy dog ... without obedience training, or relying on treats or arousing games, or corrections of any type.    Here are some next steps:   SUBSCRIBE to Kathy's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/DancingHeartsDogAcademy/videos   LISTEN or READ Kathy's Podcast and Blog on her Website: https://dancingheartsdogacademy.com/   GET STARTED work with Kathy: https://dancinghearts.link/foundation   LET'S CONNECT on the socials for more partnership tips and advice: -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dancinghearts/ -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathykawalec/   LISTEN TO PODCASTS: Subscribe to the Enlightened By Dogs podcast in your favorite app!

It was the mid 1970's and Hilton was on a flight from Dublin to Sydney after completing a three year stint with Irish trainer John Oxx. He turned to wife Marilyn and calmly announced that his riding days were over. In this podcast replay the former ace jockey explains why he quit at the top of his game, and recalls  the new life he forged back in Australia. Hilton begins by talking about his lifelong love of golf. He also reveals a love for fishing, a skill he learned from his great mate, the late Norm Munsie. Hilton talks of his amazing mother Vera who was 102 years of age when this podcast was recorded. She's now 106 and still right on top of her game. The former outstanding jockey has never forgotten the day his father came home with an undernourished pony mare called Flicka- the pony who would trigger his love for riding.  Hilton talks of the horse dentist who looked after Flicka's teeth. That dentist also had racing connections and was the catalyst in arranging Hilton's apprenticeship to Rosehill trainer Vic Thompson Snr. He remembers everyday life with a trainer who was tough but fair. Hilton recalls his forgettable race riding debut, and the thrill of his first win at his 15th ride. The veteran horseman recalls the humbling experience of being selected Dux of the AJC Apprentice's School- quite an honour in 1960. Cope was only 17 when he rode his first Gr 1 winner. He recalls the circumstances under which he picked up the ride on Red Wind in the 1960 AJC Metropolitan. Right at the end of his apprenticeship Hilton teamed up with a special 3YO filly. He remembers his AJC Oaks win on Jane Hero. He reflects on an association with a brilliant horse called Broker's Tip. He won the Canterbury Guineas on the horse and hoped to be retained for the AJC Derby but was usurped by a glamour jockey of the day. The story had a happy ending. Hilton recalls renewing his partnership with Broker's Tip in the autumn of 1970 for a great Gr 1 double.  The former jockey looks back on a brief association with the much revered Tails. He won his second AJC Metropolitan on the handsome chestnut, a decade after Red Wind. Hilton remembers his handful of rides on one of Australia's best loved horses, the gallant Gunsynd. He talks of a racing peculiarity jockeys needed to be aware of. He hasn't forgotten the exciting experience of his first and only ride in the Melbourne Cup. Hilton says he was in trouble controlling his weight at just 18 years of age. He confesses to some irresponsible behaviour on Saturday nights. He says dehydration sometimes generated cramps during or after races. He cites a couple of examples. Hilton was 26 when offered a contract in France which turned out to be an unhappy experience. The owner was happy to have him on her horses, but the trainer wanted nothing to do with the Australian jockey. He says a former champion Australian golfer was instrumental in getting him to Ireland. His three seasons with John Oxx more than compensated for the nightmare experience in France. Hilton reminisces about his happiest days as a jockey.  On returning to Australia he began the development of a spelling farm in the Hunter Valley. Before long he had 150 horses on the property. Hilton looks back on his resident herd of cattle and a successful venture into lucerne farming. He talks of his love for thoroughbred breeding and the enjoyment he gets out of racing a horse from time to time. Hilton remembers his mixed feelings when the decision was made to sell Kelvinside to the Darley empire. He says it was quite a wrench. I thoroughly enjoyed this chat with a very old friend.

I grew up in Upstate NY with my parents and 2 sisters, whom are featured in many of my books, including "Dim Sum For Everyone!" and my novels, "The Year of the Dog" and "The Year of the Rat." My mother and I were the star characters in my first book, "The Ugly Vegetables"--I cut both my sisters out of that story! They were quite upset with me and made me promise never to cut them out again. And since then, I haven't...yet. While many of my books highlight my family, not all of them do. My Newbery Honor-winning novel "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon," is an Asian inspired fantasy that some people call a Chinese 'Wizard of Oz,' and my early reader "Ling & Ting" is inspired by the old 'Flicka, Dicka & Ricka' books I read when I was young. I hope you enjoy my books. Please visit my website: www.gracelin.com for more info about them (behind the scene stories and pictures) as well as other amusing anecdotes!

We are thrilled to converse with the legendary Bruce Merrin today!  Bruce is the mastermind behind the renowned Celebrity Speakers Bureau and has been a driving force in shaping the entertainment industry for over fifty years! With an unparalleled ability to spot talent and bring together remarkable individuals, he has curated a legacy that has left an indelible mark on Hollywood. From the quick-witted banter of Johnny Carson to the heartfelt charm exuded by Michael Landon, and from the unmatched charisma of Muhammad Ali to his mesmerizing encounter with the iconic Elvis Presley, Bruce has had the privilege of experiencing captivating stories from the forefront of the industry. Join us as we embark on an unforgettable journey through the glitz, glamor, and untold secrets of the stars through the eyes of the man who made it his mission to bring their voice to the world! Where it all started for Bruce It all began fifty years ago with his first celebrity client, the iconic Michael Landon! In a lunch meeting, Michael shared his excitement about a new show he was working on called Little House on the Prairie. Bruce immediately took Michael to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, who happened to adore him! After the show, Johnny invited Bruce and Michael to his lavish Malibu home for dinner and proposed a life-changing idea. He suggested that Bruce start a celebrity speakers bureau, with Johnny as the first client. Bruce agreed, and Michael Landon declared himself the second client! The next day, Ed McMahon reached out to Bruce to express his desire to join the bureau.  The Influence of His Mother  Bruce credits his beloved mother for the incredible opportunities and successes he experienced throughout his career. From encouraging him to pursue journalism classes in high school to suggesting he apply to UCLA's prestigious film school, his mother played a pivotal role in shaping his path. Her guidance led him to secure a job at MGM Studios, where he worked in the renowned Thalberg building. Bruce's Mother  As a pioneer in public relations, Bruce's mother operated a successful Hollywood-based entertainment PR firm. She recognized Bruce's talents and potential and made him an enticing offer to join her at General Service Movie Studios, where she continued teaching him the intricacies of the PR business. In the three years Bruce worked with his mother, he gained invaluable knowledge and experience, particularly in handling high-profile authors.   Simon and Schuster Securing the account of Simon and Schuster, the world's largest publisher, was a remarkable achievement because it allowed Bruce and his mother to handle the monthly PR for all their top authors. A Remarkable Invitation Within his first week at MGM, Bruce received a remarkable invitation from the president himself- a lunch meeting with Elvis Presley! That encounter marked the beginning of Bruce's involvement in handling the publicity for Elvis's film, Elvis on Tour, which cemented his connection with the legendary performer. Elvis Presley  Elvis, known for his humility, treated everyone with kindness and generosity, whether they were part of the film crew or fellow performers. Bruce was privileged to work with Elvis on multiple films and witnessed the star's genuine thoughtfulness. After completing a movie, Elvis would gift extravagant presents to the entire staff, including directors, producers, grips, and sound technicians! Muhammad Ali and Jackie Robinson Muhammad Ali and Jackie Robinson left indelible marks on Bruce, not only for their athletic achievements but also for their resilience and powerful messages. Bruce had had meaningful exchanges with both of them about addressing racism and its ugly consequences. Ali and Robinson exemplified strength and integrity in their respective fields and left lasting impressions on Bruce's life and career. Scott Carpenter's Troubled Appearance   Bruce had a notable incident involving Scott Carpenter, one of the original seven astronauts, whom he had booked for a speaking engagement in Orlando. Scott arrived intoxicated, leaving the event organizers in a difficult situation. In spite of the embarrassment, Bruce still considered Scott's well-being and urged him to seek help for his alcoholism. Scott later addressed his struggles in a book and found a path to recovery.  Custom-Tailoring Celebrity Talks  When booking celebrities, Bruce connects them with certified meeting planners to discuss the event's theme, demographics, and audience. That allows the celebrities to craft talks that will resonate with the attendees on a deeper level. Randy Otto  Randy Otto has a deep understanding of Churchill's persona. That, combined with his dedication to studying and embodying the iconic figure, allows him to deliver impactful speeches that provide insights into managing businesses effectively. Bruce emphasizes the power of well-crafted impersonations and personalized talks in captivating audiences and making a lasting impression.  Negotiating Terms  When negotiating with celebrities, Bruce emphasizes the importance of being clear about the keynote fee and establishing additional activities, such as roundtables or photo sessions, as part of the overall agreement.  Bruce's Advice for Negotiating Celebrity Bookings  Bruce highlights the importance of setting clear expectations when booking celebrities and negotiating their terms. By establishing a comprehensive agreement upfront, event planners will ensure a smooth and satisfactory experience for all parties involved.  Bio: Bruce Merrin I was born in Louisville, KY, and my client Muhammad Ali loved that! We talked about that a lot! I graduated from Grant High School in San Fernando Valley, CA, and my best friends were Tom Selleck, Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees), Mike Curb (Curb Records Nashville), Mike Post (12 number-one hits to TV series like Hill St. Blues and Law and Order), John Washbrook (TV star of My friend Flicka). My girlfriend at Grant was Cheryl from The Mouseketeers Show, with gorgeous blonde hair and blue eyes. I graduated from the legendary UCLA Film School.  While I was there, I starred in the Broadway hit play Tea and Sympathy. I had the lead role. Unforgettable experience! My acting teacher recommended only me to audition for Hollywood Squares. I got on the show and won the Secret Square with Paul Lynde, with tens of thousands of dollars in prizes! My mom suggested after graduating from UCLA that I apply for a job at MGM Studios. I got a gem job working in the Thalberg Building. My first client was Elvis in his film, Elvis on Tour. I had a memorable lunch with Elvis in the commissary and told him "We are going to get along great...we are both MAMA's BOYS!" I then joined my beloved mom's historic entertainment PR Firm at General Service Studios in Hollywood. Mom was one of only two women who had Hollywood PR firms. For three years, she taught me the PR business. I owe everything to my Mom! During the first week working for Mom, I walk into the office and Oscar Academy Award winner Joan Crawford is seated at moms desk! Joan gets up, hugs me, and says, “Your mom is the BEST PR exec that has ever represented me!”. George Burns was our next-door office member at the movie studio. Many movies and hit TV series were shot there. One day Mom told me that Michael Landon was shooting a film. I got entrance into the stage set, met Michael, and gave him my business card. He became my first PR client.  Working with mom, Simon & Schuster was our client. Every month, we had a number one S&S author. We set national tours for them. It was an invaluable experience! Mom taught me how to handle entertainment PR. Invaluable! After three years, I launched my own PR Firm. My first two entertainment clients were Michael Landon and Johnny Carson. My first two sports star clients were Jackie Robinson and Muhammad Ali. You have heard the Johnny Carson story. After booking Michael Landon on the Carson show, Johnny invited us to dinner at his Malibu home. Johnny toasted us with Cabernet Sauvignon and told me to start a Celebrity Speakers Bureau. Johnny said he would be my first client. Michael then chimed in, and Ed McMahon called me the next day. So, Bruce Merrin's Celebrity Speakers & Ent was launched FIFTY YEARS ago!

We bring the 2nd Unit back to dip our toes into Development Hell once again...kind of! As a pseudo-sequel of our Superman Lives episodes, we dig into the history of what was supposed to be Justice League: Mortal, the short-lived but fascinating first attempt at the superhero team-up. Directed by George Miller, written by Kieran and Michelle Mulroney, and starring a surprisingly young cast including Armie Hammer, Common, and Jay Baruchel, this goofy comic-book-accurate project met insurmountable obstacles on the way to production. We break down the full cast and story of this project (thanks in large part to cast interviews, articles from Collider, and the great work of the Canceled Movie Report podcast), go over a brief history of the Justice League, and explore the biggest reasons for this film's collapse: the Australian government and the 2007-2008 Writers' Guild of America strike. We marvel at the gambit of casting such young actors for such iconic adult roles, give a brief lesson on rabies symptoms, hypothesize future advancements in villainous tracking technology, have a fun discussion on currency conversion rates and tax credits, subject you to some truly awful Batman voices, remind you that Jack is still trying to track down a VHS copy of Nukie to torture Joe with, bring awareness to the pitfalls of bad acronyms/initialisms, Jack plugs his latest creative project, and we ask a question we've been wondering for some time: do the members of the Justice League all share a tailor?

That mission includes not only expanding the reach of my own organization's life-transforming programs, but also helping others with aligned missions expand their reach and impact for THEIR clients who want to help people with using their own specialties (such as you if we are a fit!)You can see from my bio that I have a background in consulting and, along the way, created a methodology that applies the industry-leading, proven project and change management methods I used to deliver transformational results to some of the largest organizations on the planet, to individuals in their own personal lives!I cultivated these methods when I was on my own journey of trying to survive an inauthentic life with overwhelming stress and mental overload. My transformation happened when I connected what I was doing for my clients with what millions of us as individuals needed in our own lives but weren't getting from traditional methods in the market -- the application of the standard, repeatable, proven, reliable, trusted methods and techniques used to make organizational change, applied to our everyday, individual life journeys.Once I discovered the missing link between desired change and actualized change for individuals, I “systematized” my methods and have been on a mission ever since to share them with the millions of others out there who need a lifeline and save them the decades it took me to try and crack the code without them. Episode References/Links:Journey Fuel WebsiteFollow Journey Fuel on IG  If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser or Castbox.Be It Till You See It Podcast SurveyUse this link to get your Toe Sox!ResourcesWatch the Be It Till You See It podcast on YouTube!Lesley Logan websiteBe It Till You See It PodcastOnline Pilates Classes by Lesley LoganOnline Pilates Classes by Lesley Logan on YouTubeProfitable PilatesSocial MediaInstagramFacebookLinkedInEpisode Transcript: Lesley Logan  All right.

So after this quick break, you'll hear from Stacy McAlpine.All right, Be It babes. I'm really excited. I have a wonderful woman for you to to learn from today, Stacy McAlpine. And, you know what I love so much about this podcast is I get to meet so many new people that I probably may never have met in real life. And so Stacy, one of those people that I feel like our paths would have crossed across eventually, but I'm glad they're crossing here. Can you tell everyone who you are and what you're up to?Stacy McAlpine  Absolutely. Thank you so much. I love doing this. It's so fun, because I can meet your audience a little bit. So hello, my name is Stacy McAlpine. My background is, I was in consulting for 20 years. Every time I do one of these, I'm like, I say 20 years and then years go by so probably more than 20 years. So but at a minimum, it's been at least 20 years of consulting for big four consulting firms. So PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young and those types of firms. And my clients were some of the biggest organizations on the planet. So think Department of Defense, Google, you know, those big government organizations, and my specialty was all about project management, process improvement, and change management. And to do whether you're changing an organization of 250,000 people, or an individual of one, it all takes individual action. So the bigger ones, like you're trying to get individuals to take action, not just a giant group of people. And so through that process, what I realized because also being my big personal development nerd, which I think maybe your audience can associate with ... (Lesley: 100%) perfectionist maybe, perfectionismitis. But so you know, when just always love learning about how to be my better self or how to, like not hate my life. And so bcause that was easy to do back then. I mean, I was working 50 to 60 hour weeks, you know, there was a time when I was doing all this for my clients. But my life sucked. So you know, thinking my laws... my husband was in law school at the time, full time. I was living in the DC area with an hour and a half, one way commute with fun traffic. I had a stepdaughter in high school, I had a child, one child that kept calling me grandma, because she saw my mom more than she saw me, you know, racking up the credit card debt because we were living on one income. So (Lesley: Yeah) I had night literally $98,000 and credit card debt. Last and upside down mortgage, plus racking up a $200,000 law school loan. So I was a little stressed.Lesley Logan  I was gonna say before hearing all of that I was like, this job sounds so stressful. Because (Stacy: Yeah) like, these aren't, these aren't like, I'm not that you would ever just like, "Oh, so easy to consult." But like those are like the the things that those people put out into the world affect (Stacy: Oh yeah) millions of people.Stacy McAlpine  Yes. And I love and love, I'm glad you mentioned that because I loved that about what I was doing the clients that I was working with my boss at the time, he's completely changed my life. Amazing human being. I followed him to three different companies every time he left, I'm like, "Don't leave me. I want to work for you. You work for people, not companies." (Lesley: Yeah.) So but he was always talking about being tip of the spear, you know, touching the mission. And so, you know, and I'm looking at working with Homeland Security and helping people not blow up on a plane. (Lesley: Right.) Yeah, when I'm working with the Department of Defense, I was working with military health on Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence, like the biggest longest sentence of all time. But the Department of Defense and then Veteran Affairs had a joint initiative to build the Center of Excellence to help the military recover from PTSD and psychological health is as well as how do you become more resilient? And how do you help people? So it's like, I'm working with these people.Lesley Logan  Yeah. So like, each project was like, hugely impactful or needed to be for many people. So that's a level of stress. And so you're going in and you're like so focused on these things, but then your life out behind is like, (Stacy: Yeah) kind of needing a it's needing a reboot of some kind, it's needing some support, (Stacy: Yes) because that's hard because, well, I mean, I think a lot of people listening can all relate to having one income at some point, like my husband and I, there was a time when he was switching careers. So it was on my business only and then, you know, and then he had his his income started up again. And then we decided, "Let's just all go in on my thing." So then we're back on like, this thing. And those transitions themselves are big decisions and can weigh a lot on your mind. Yeah.Stacy McAlpine  Oh, yeah, absolutely. And so you know, that that pressure was heavy. And I would like literally wake up crying, like hating my life thinking like, there is no light at the end of this tunnel. Where's this light? How do you make up $90,000? in credit card debt? How do you pay an update on mortgage? How do you survive a career like mine? Like if I left, you know, the salary without pressure is, you know, it's a good salary. So, if I were to leave that profession, I would be taking a huge pay cut. So I couldn't afford to do that, either. You know, and I figured, well, if I leave, in order to match my salary, it's going to be just as stressful job. Like, who pays people this when that's no stress, right? Like, (Lesley: Right) that's how that works. And I never really felt like I was making as much as I was because it was all going to debt. So like, I never felt like, (Lesley: Yeah) so it just was like that. So frustrating to know that you're making a good income yet you're like, literally poor, literally, like checking the gas tank and hoping that ...Lesley Logan  Yeah. is it enough to get me there. Yeah.Stacy McAlpine  But so with that I was in a space of overwhelm. And yet I was getting all this change for my clients. And something that there's just a big void in the personal development space of how do you actually implement it? (Lesley: Yes) Right. So there's a lot of motivation, a lot of inspiration, a lot of like, really cool ideas. And totally legit that work. (Lesley: Yeah.) But when you're in a state of overwhelm when your life is like, if somebody asks me one more thing, I might punch them in the face because I can't handle my emotions right now.Lesley Logan  I feel like every mom listening is like, yeah, I would like if my kids say (Stacy: Oh yeah.) ... and one more time. So yes, I'm with you (Stacy: Right) because it's true. Like, I'll, I'll hear these amazing affirmations or, or quotes or like ideas or theories. And it's like, yes, and then that's why we have BE IT action items at the end of the show. And then what do I do? How do I do it? (Stacy: Exactly) ... this into my already crazy stuck, (Stacy: Yeah) overwhelmed life but ...Stacy McAlpine  Yeah. 100%. And it's like, did you ever seen, what is that? It's like a movie with the moms like not badass mom. What is the call....Lesley Logan  The Bad Moms? The Bad Moms. (Stacy: Bad Moms) Yeah. Yeah.Stacy McAlpine  It might as well be badass. Right? (Lesley: Yeah) But Bad Moms, you know when where, the woman? What's her name? Kristen?Lesley Logan  Christina Applegate orStacy McAlpine  Yes, thank you. Yes. No, the other girl. Anyway, (Lesley: The other one.) that's in there, who I love. She is going to bug me now and have to ... It will happen. Anyway. So she was like talking about wanting to be in the hospital as a break. Like I literally was jealous of Martha Stewart. Thought, "Oh my god, if I go to jail, I could, like have time, I could process my ideas." You know, I was driving around the parking lot trying to find a parking spot at the post office. And I told my kids, I'm like, "You're gonna have to tell the kids at school that your mom is in a mental hospital because she couldn't find a parking spot because I was like, losing my mind." That was ... (Lesley: Right.) So this is who I was for my kids, right? And it's like, I don't even want my kids to be like me, like plus, they're not even gonna know who I am. Like, how do they even this is not the (Lesley: No) person that I want them to think that I am like, how do you have a relationship ...Lesley Logan  They're calling you grandma. They think that you're gonna go crazy in a parking lot. (Stacy: Yeah) They never see you. And then when they do see you there's no money or time for anything. So (Stacy: Right) what fun is that?Stacy McAlpine  You know what interesting? So my stepdaughter, so my husband at the time was in law school, I was working my ass off, like totally a disaster stressful. We didn't have much money even though we were you know, pursuing all these dreams. And she actually she was screwing up her grades like major. It's like really hard to have that bad of grades. And you have to try to get right. And so we're like, "What is your deal? Like, literally, all you have to do is turn in the piece of paper and circle one thing and you'd have better grades." Right? And she's like, "You know, I just don't want to work as hard as you guys. Like, I don't ever want to what's the point? Like, I don't want to have a life like that. So what's the point? I'd rather it is not like what's the point of school? That's what it does to you." And it's like, whoa, that's intense, right? I'm thinking were follow... He's following his dream. And maybe it's like this great example and it literally demotivated her so much that she didn't even want to deal with school. We could just like, what's the point? I don't like it. You guys are doing a bunch of stuff you don't like. So ... (Lesley: Yeah) Interesting, right? So that ripple effect.Lesley Logan  Well, I mean, actions are caught not taught and like, and like here you are like you have a job that is super impactful. Again, like all the things that you're consulting on are really supposed to be life changing for the better. (Stacy: Yeah.) And yet, they're what they're seeing is, oh, if I do well at school, I get to work too hard, be stressed out, have no money, have no time and want to go into a mental hospital after I've crashed my car into the post office so that I can find a parking space. (Stacy: Yeah. Exactly.) So how did you go from like, "Gosh, I we do want to follow up on how her grades are." But how did you go from like that, to like, what you're doing now? What was that, what what was the breaking point was at the post office parking lot?Stacy McAlpine  Right. Well, it was one when like, I literally threw my Blackberry across the car once which Blackberry, you know ... But I just like, "Who the hell am I right now?" Like, "Who am I?" And something had to change and I have a longer story that we aren't going to have time for of like what my real moment moment was. But it all comes down to you know, I was in a nutshell, I was at a mall of all places. Like when there were malls that you like, walked around in (Lesley: Yeah) purpose.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I have anxiety attack walking around and realize I need to change my life.Stacy McAlpine  I know, right? And it's like my friend at the time she was and that was like snapping at my kid was just being cute and skipping around. And she's like, "Something needs to change." And I'm like a hot tip. Thanks. Like, I didn't know that, you know, but she cared like, you could tell she cared. She's like, you are just implode, like, you can't keep going like this. It's just killing you. And you know, when you hear something at the exact right time, because sort of like somebody's saying, How are you doing? Like, bawling your head off because they just triggered the tears because they asked you how you're doing? (Lesley: Yeah) It's not like I didn't know. It's not like I you know, it wasn't this news. Oh my God, I didn't know that. But so she tells me this and I'm thinking, yeah, I know. But I don't know how to get out of it. I'm getting into my minivan strapping my daughter into the car seat hoping she falls asleep. And the music that comes on is this hallmark CD, which is I don't know if you've ever heard them I've been trying to find that I can't find it's called like a drive in the country or until it's this happy, lovely, peaceful music. And it's what I used to listen to when I was dating my husband where we were just having this amazing time. And I could not connect, like there was zero emotion like there was no happiness at all. It was just numb. Then I just started bawling like snot bawling, you know, not just crying like my ...Lesley Logan  Like you like a girl who should be in a Hallmark movie of some kind before the (Stacy: Yeah) before the story gets to the happy ending.Stacy McAlpine  ... So I'm thinking only God that that was a big moment for part of my like, what changed kind of thing. It was just, I can't keep doing this. And then I'm watching this movie called Flicka, whichever have you ever heard is about this horse and this teenager and Tim McGraw's in it. And this teenager, like builds this relationship with this horse, and they're kind of broken souls healing one another, right? Um, no one had a Blackberry. Nobody had a laptop open, except, you know, Tim McGraw was like counting the numbers for the farm, you know, so there's stress, and you know, it's a movie, but it's like, other people do different things. But there's other careers. (Lesley: Yeah) Other things, people do that. And then you can start, you know, when you really think about it, like, there are people that run oil rigs, like there are people that are on TV, like they're so different lives are so different. And I just realized I had this moment of, I've done this to myself. I did this, it's not like some victim, like, I chose to support my husband to go to law school. I chose to have this kid, I chose this crazy career, you know, I did this. And I need to get my way out, like I have to do something different. There are other things on the planet that could possibly be happening, right. And so that really triggered it. And then I was thinking about my clients. And I'm like, "Well, why the hell can I change if I'm helping these people like huge organizations? It's like turning the Titanic literally to get any government change. And it's working. So why can't I get that ..."Lesley Logan  That you can turn governmental programs around, I think you've (Stacy: Rgiht) can turn your life around.Stacy McAlpine  Exactly. So like, what am I missing? And so what I ended up doing was taking the stuff that I had been learning and personal development like Tony Robbins stuff, you know, all the things that you know, personal power and listening to them when you get clear on stuff, but then there's no implementation. So I used what was out there to get some clarity but then I started bringing in the change management process and the project management tools and business process improvement. That's like applying that to my life.Lesley Logan  So you're taking the tools that you already use, and changing individuals and organizations (Stacy: Yeah) and you're like, "I'm just gonna take what I already do, and I'm just gonna do it to me. And my, my life. This is amazing. (Stacy: Right) Yeah. Okay.Stacy McAlpine  Yeah. So I'm like, I'm gonna pretend I'm a client. And so I started doing that. And it just, like, changed everything, like everything, because in project management, what your purpose is, is to help your clients get clarity of what is the outcome that you actually want? A lot of project managers come in and are like, oh, what do you want? I want to implement a new system. But why? Like, why do you want it? Is it just because you want new technology? Because it's old? Or is it because you want to be able to enable your team to make a bigger impact by processing this faster to get money to these people faster? So they can be out in the field and not get killed by bullet ... (Lesley: Right) You know, like, you could (Lesley: Yeah) draw the threat, you know, pull that thread, and it's like, what is it that? What is it really, that your outcome is? And once you know the outcome that you want, then you can start to say, Okay, so what's it going to take to get that outcome? Like, what are the things that you know, if you were to do these things would make that happen? And then you can get into Okay, well, how do you know when you're gonna get those? Like, how can you measure? Yes, I am or not, and you get that? And then you can say, Okay, so now we know where we're going. Now we know what it is that is going to give us the indicators that we're on the right path. So how do we resource this? Who do you need to have? What kind of resources do you need to get there, and then map it out, create the plan, build it out, and then all you have to do is walk the plan. So we do that within the first month of the, you know, year long project, and then you're just working the plan. And so that's what I do for individuals. It's like, how do I help you get so clear, using change management principles, using project management techniques, on what it is that you really want your life to be about, and your impact? And how do you want life to feel? (Lesley: Yeah) And then work that process, right. And then we map out so I have a program called love and life accelerator, which is taking the stuff that we do in my foundational program, which is called Walk-The-Talk Weekends, it's a two and a half day program where you really get that clarity. You get (Lesley: Yeah) what is that out... helping people get that? It's like, oh, go get clarity. No, I help you. (Lesley: Yeah) You've walk through that? Right. So (Lesley: Yeah. I love this ...) there's implementation.Lesley Logan  So this is okay. So, so I love this. We have a project manager on our team and like, some I have a love hate because I'm like, "I wanted this thing." And they're like, "Okay, let's have a meeting." I'm like, "... do the thing. I just want to go. (Stacy: Yeah, exactly.) Let me do my thing." And they're like, no, actually, when, you know, like, what's the outcome? Why are we doing this? Who is that for? (Stacy: Yeah) ... of them process? Who who's involved? All the things. But what ends up happening is that everyone knows their role, and everyone can do the thing, and no one is falling it like off the plan. And then you get to the outcome, and you have something's totally different. So it's amazing. So can we so you did this for yourself? And so how long did it take for you to put the principles on your own life? And then how long did it take you? Like, did you get out of the debt to do? Did your ... did your partner get out of college? Like what happened to help you (Stacy: Yeah) not for your BlackBerry anymore.Stacy McAlpine  Right. Yeah. So it was not like an overnight fix, right. But it was the beginning of once the if I did my principles, my values with the Tony Robbins thing, then I started putting it into the pieces that I just talked about, you know, and that's like, I don't know, I guess you could maybe call it a month, I don't remember like my life was so you know like, I don't remember the timeline. But it was over the course of those next few months, when I say, here's the thing, you don't have to have the outcome, to have your life change. You want to know what the outcome is, and have a trusted system, a trusted method that, you know, when you do it, it works. So that gives you this sense of security and this relief. Now, so you have to ...Lesley Logan  That's brilliant. I hope everyone just heard that because it's like, it's so many people are waiting for the outcome to happen to feel the change. But you, you have you know what the outcome is, you know, you put the tools in place, and so you can actually feel the effects of that now. It's like the light at the end of the tunnel. It's not a train. It really is there. (Stacy: Yeah) Yeah. Okay. I love that. I love that. So so you did that. And then and then you started to feel those effects of it. And then how long was did you leave? Are you still consulting? Like what ...Stacy McAlpine  Yeah. So what, the fastest version of the story is basically I ended up trying to quit my job. And my boss was like, I was about to make directors six months from director which is not an easy thing to do in consulting. It's a very flat organization. So you go from if you go from manager to Director, they're expecting that you're going to be potentially a partner. So it's like a big vetting thing, right. So I was six months away from when that was going to happen. It gives my resignation because I got all this clarity that this sucks. I'm not doing this and actually what's good was I had a job waiting for me with Homeland, I was gonna give up all this maternity leaves like, I'll figure this out, right? I'll find a way. And so had that as a backup plan gave my notice. And he's like, what if you could work 40 hour weeks, two days a week from home? I'm like, you get fired? Who are you? And why are you saying this? (Lesley: Yeah) And he's like, well, but I, you know, I think you can do it. And I'm like, name one manager and a big four consulting firm and your entire time in this industry that's ever made director working 40 hour weeks, two days a week from home like name one. (Lesley: Yeah) And he looks away. Then then he looks back. He's like, "I think you can do it." Me, the only person on the planet can do it. So the here's the deal is that I had the backup job, right? So I said, "Will you hold my job for six months. And I'll do this whole 40 hour, two days a week thing from home. And if it doesn't work out, I've got a job in six months if I don't make director." (Lesley: Yeah) So that's what I ended up doing. And I ended up working 40 hour weeks, two days a week from home and making director at a big four consulting firm. And what it all came down to was getting clear on what is it that matters? And what doesn't, what am I getting measured on? And what doesn't? What is all this? I don't need to do all this stuff? Because he said, your do you do too much. That's what he said to me on that when he said you do too much. I was like, like might this, you know, moment of well Yeah, probably I do. Right. So what is the too much? What is the stuff that I'm doing that doesn't matter? So that's where when you get really clear on what matters most in applying the techniques that I teach in my programs, which is what are your core seven things that matter most in your planet? And what are the things you're doing that don't line up? And so you can do the same thing with your profession, right? So if you're at work, and you're doing a bunch of stuff, and you need this visibility, you need all this stuff but really do you. Like what are you measured on? What do you need to do in order to achieve those measures? Because like in consulting, if you hit your numbers, that's what it's about. (Lesley: Right) Don't hit your numbers, you're kind of screwed. But what do I need to do to hit my numbers? And what do I need to do to be able to hit all these other things that are going to be the differentiator between making it or not, and everything else I stopped doing? Because if it doesn't make an impact, then it's just taking me away from my ability to do it. And ...Lesley Logan  Yeah, it's almost an ego thing. You're doing it to show that I can do this and like a control thing. These are great questions. I hope you all if you didn't write them down, and she said them rewind and write them down. Because you can ask this of yourself in all areas. But (Stacy: Yeah) not just your work life. Yeah.Stacy McAlpine  Yeah. So I ended up staying, I did that whole thing. And then ultimately, I still ended up getting a new boss who was not a nice, even, and didn't support that work arrangement, even though it was making my number. So I ended up going out on my own as an independent consultant. And making three times my salary. I paid off my debt in a year. (Lesley: Wow) Because I was getting my full bill rate. Right? (Lesley: Yeah) So, working for my old client. So it's a matter of okay, what can you do with what you have, that's possible that can still help you achieve what you want, right. And so that's what I ended up doing. And that's how I paid off my debt. And that's how I ended up being able to take the next step of, you know, what do I want to do next, I ended up going back into consulting again, because my husband at the time, was getting himself fired. And so I knew I needed a job that had benefits. So I kind of had to give up on what I was going to do to help other people implement. (Lesley: Yeah) So I did consulting for another seven years, but then what happened was, I was getting miserable again. I was doing all the same things with not without the support that I knew I needed to be successful. I hated my job. I was crying and I'm like, "Okay, this is not me living what I just got out of that other place for." Right and so (Lesley: Yeah) it's okay, what can I do? And it turned into I ended up being able to start my own company Journey Fuel, where now I'm helping people I went out on my own 1099 consultant, so I wouldn't have all the pressure of that job. (Lesley: Yeah) ... not on my own 40 hour weeks doing like, the most easy stuff. Like oh my God, I'm doing visio charts right now. This is amazing. (lesley: Yeah) I didn't have 93 hats. I didn't have people not supporting me, I didn't have the you know, proposals. It was just a different life. So I went on my own. And while I went on my own with that, I started building Journey Fuel, which is what I do now, which is helping people live lives, they love waking up to using the tools and techniques that are missing in the personal development space, which is how do you go from knowing to doing. (Lesley: Yeah) Like how do you go from you know, it's great idea to actually applying it into your own life.Lesley Logan  Thank you for sharing that like you've had like you had to go back to go forward because I think a lot of people get really frustrated with themselves when that happens and it happens to all of us. Right. Like I, like I remember I was in a job that that gave me anxiety. And so then I quit that to just do what I was passionate about and I was loving it. And then I, for insurance reasons as well took another job. And I brought literally all the same things I was overdoing in the other job, I brought that into this job, which is probably why they gave him the job. They're like, "Oh, that's a girl who will do too much." (Stacy: Yeah) And, and, and I overdid it there. And I was like, "Oh my God, here I am, again. Here I am, again, in this situation." And you can get so mad at yourself, or you can actually recognize the patterns. And then you can you can go, "Okay, well, now I know like, every time I'm here, this is how I go." So I definitely, like it's no longer a hypothesis. It's a fact. So I can make these changes. And I think that I think that's really important for people to hear from, from people like yourself who like had like, have had these crazy transformations and are doing what they love. They sometimes people think, oh, they went from A to B to rock bottom to D. And now they're like living their best life. And you had to go from A to B to A to B, a couple times before you could do that. And I think that, that allows you to really understand the pitfalls and the problems and like see, like, "Oh, this is the missing link here." And this is the thing that everyone needs, so they can actually do the thing that they want to do and not just keep going back in that vicious cycle.Stacy McAlpine  Absolutely. And the thing about that is, you know, Steve Jobs said, you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect the dots looking backwards. I'm like, "That makes no sense. Like, why does that make any sense?" He said like connecting the dots? Right. How do you look backwards and connect? And then I thought, well, "He's really smart." So there must be something to what he's saying. So reflecting on it, it's like, well, you're having all of these experiences in life, right? It kind of comes back to you got yourself into it, how do you get yourself out of it. But there are things in those scenarios, like in those miserable experiences, or just skills that you're learning along the way that when you start to look backwards, like, "Oh my gosh, that was why that happened." Or if I didn't have that 32 years ago, and then I didn't have this like 20 years ago, and then fast forward another 10. And now where I'm at, I wouldn't have the ability to have the scope of experience to help other people. I just wouldn't. (Lesley: Yeah) There's, you know, I could have some of it and you don't have to know everybody's life. But to know what pain is, like to know what it feels like when you can't think past the next second without wanting to feel like a pile on the floor. You know and to know how to get out of it, and how to put things in place so you don't need to be a pile on the floor before you take the next step.Lesley Logan  Yeah, you can, you can take it sooner. (Stacy: Yeah) I will and I think that's so true. I mean, like I have so I like I coach a lot of Pilates instructors and talk a lot fitness instructors and it works well because I've been in their shoes so when they say that their client who they see four times a week just told me her me gone for three weeks I know how much money that hurts. That's not like their friend or even another coach will be like, "Okay, so you have extra four hours a week." Like it's like no actually they don't have another client to slip in that person's been holding those four hours hostage for this long and they have to like come up with a new client overnight who wants that much. So it's important I think our experience is sometimes we go, "Why is this happening to me?" And it's like it's actually happening for you because what all that happened for you, all those snotty tears in the car happened for you so that you can actually understand on a very like deep cellular level when someone says like the music in the car is playing and I don't even hear it. Like I that's where I'm at and you can be like, "Oh actually I know how down the rabbit hole. I know how far you are. I know how close you are on the bathroom floor. Let's let's make these changes now." (Stacy: Yeah, exactly.) you know I think it's so I think it's it's so cool that you've like put yourself in this position of like of like taking the actual applying the actual self development into our lives. Because I do think that that is where people just become like the self development junkies they like I (Stacy: Yeah) I listen to a lot of podcasts and like it's so easy for me to like hear podcast about this and boundaries and this and boundaries and I'm like okay, but I gotta now have that conversation about boundaries. How do I how do I do that? So I think the world needs someone who can like apply it. So you when you when you start to like apply these product management tools in a things to adding the supplemental change they want to do to their life now is this something that has a pin on the thing that they want to do. How quickly can they add these things and is it really a month long like setup before they can ... What what's what's that process like because my perfectionist want to know? What's the timeline?Stacy McAlpine  I know. Right. How do I get this to happen right right now? So well and just as a you know background so I call my company Journey Fuel because like the journey right but and the idea of strategic planning and goals and measures just makes me want to like to grow up like I'm so sick of those, like, that's such a stressful set of terms. So I've changed the whole into different words, same concept because they work, but it's like how do you associate the process to be enjoyable? Like you're on a journey to find your authentic, amazing life. And that's to be enjoyable. So it doesn't just like some project where you're going to come up with these measures and these goals, like what is it that in you that you want, that's going to magnetize you forward versus having to push this rock up a hill is what most of it feels like. So what I do, my very first step is what program I call Walk-The-Talk Weekend, two and a half days, I just had one and another one coming up. And it's two and a half days. And we go through first day is how to just get the snow to settle and the snow globe, right, like you see shake is and it's like, just (Lesley: Yeah) snow settle. Let's just get that to stop. And then how do you get clarity on what you want your life to be like? And the very first thing and you guys can all do this right now. So you can start today, which is you know, life is a collection of feelings. That's it. That's it. Like we're here to experience, feelings. That's all there is. So all the stuff, all the people, all the things that we're dreaming and wishing for. That's all to feel some way. (Lesley: Yeah.) So when you get to if you start there versus what do you want? Like, what are your goals? What's your purpose? Like it's just, like, for me, I just, it paralyzes a lot of people. So I knew that I would do it. Thanks. Hot tip. (Lesley: Yeah) And plus your brain is so crazy how to even connect, you know, I couldn't connect to that music like I just wouldn't. (Lesley: Yeah) And so when you're in a space like that, the best place that and this is why I start all my programs this way is how are you feeling now? Why? How do you want to feel instead? And what do you want that life experience to feel like? Then we on that first day do some visualizations, different techniques that I use that incorporate the practices without it feeling like I'm doing some business thing, like it's all very fun and engaging. And it what ends up doing is it gets you into a space where you can start to use your feelings to guide what comes next. And then we do things like well, what's in your life when you feel that way? Then start to find the themes in that. And that becomes day two, where we're really looking at what can let's should test that. Like, do you just want it because you're supposed to want it?Lesley Logan  Oh, I love. I should test. Yeah, I think I should do that. Yeah.Stacy McAlpine  Yeah. Should test. And so is that for real? Like, is that coming from you? Or is that coming from your experience of other things that have gotten you there? Right. So we do, we should test in core, get it down to core seven, like seven things that you value most by going through that process? And then now that you know what your core seven are your things that matter? Most you can do what I was sharing earlier is like now you have a litmus test that went on day three, we talk about tools and techniques. And well, how do you live those seven and nothing else? How, what are the tools and techniques you can use? And it really comes down to listening, you know, every single decision I make and everything that goes on what people call it to do lists that I call a playlist? Is does it line up with one of my seven yes or no? And if it doesn't, I don't do it. And if I can't not do it, then the next question is, well, why am I doing it? What in my life is keeping me that I think I need to do this? What's happening? Where's that coming from? And you can use that to just start asking questions till you can filter that out. Right. (Lesley: Yeah) ... that out of your life. But now you are aware that this is here, it's not part of my core seven, how do I get shift my life and I teach a bunch of different techniques on how to do that. So two and a half days, you go from crazy snowglobe head to knowing exactly what your core seven or how to make a decision that's going to keep you in alignment and bring that experience of feelings and life to life. (Lesley: Yeah) And then the next step is my accelerator program which I actually broke into an eight week program where you now take that and now I help you step through, "Okay, now let's like activate that and and look at your life as a whole and by the end of the eight weeks, help you build the capacity for change ..."Lesley Logan  So that's nice because it's like it's not like we're not doing a one hour and we're not doing it in three weeks. It's like you (Stacy: Right) there's there's enough time in there to make mistakes, make tweaks, make changes and they can implementation. That's really that's really cool to know. Because I think I think sometimes we think it needs to happen tomorrow and we'd like it to (Stacy: Yeah) happen tomorrow. But there's a lot of unraveling that has to happen and some clarity that has to get in there. So this is so cool. I thank you for sharing this amazing journey that you've gone on because it's so it's always good to hear the behind the scenes and like, what was the what, what brought them to being where they are, where they just seem like, it's all amazing, it just it is, but they're that doesn't mean it was always. So it's so good to hear that like you are a human being. (Stacy: Yeah. Exactly.) And then you can use, you've like use what, what you were doing before but for for more impact and also so that you can also walk your talk, which is a lovely. Stacy, we're gonna take a quick break, and then everyone we're going to find out her BE IT action items for you and where you can find her and work with her. Okay, Stacy, where do you like to hang out? What social media platform? What's your website? Where can people find you and work with you?Stacy McAlpine  So the best way to find out about what I'm doing is to go to journeyfuelgift.com, g i f t.com. Because part of where, you know, coming on here to your point of like saying a bunch of things, but not how to do it. I'm all about how to do it. So when you go to journeyfuelgift.com. I have a gift for your audience that you can sign up for my next slot, Walk-The-Talk Weekend for free. And you can also sign up for a lot of times, I have these 90 minute but I call find your fire within sessions, where if you, you know, you're not ready for two and a half days, you just come to a 90 minute, find your fire within, get yourself started, get your soul back and alive. And you can get to that on that link as well. So when you go to that link, you can sign up for those two things. That's the absolute best way because then you're doing something for yourself and not just learning about me. (Lesley: Yeah) If you do, just want to know about a little bit more you the @yourjourneyfuel on Facebook, or Instagram. And you can find out what I'm doing from there. That's an it'll direct you to where my website is and stuff. But I encourage you to act in for yourself and take an action of do the 90 minute thing. Do the Walk-The-Talk Weekend. It's two and a half days of your miserable life. Right.Lesley Logan  Yeah. You put it like that, it's like yeah, it's only you can keep going. Or you can take two and a half days off. But you're not wanting. Oh, I love that. Okay, you've given us some great questions, some great tips already. But for the people who like skip to the end, they just want the action item. Bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it. What do you have for us?Stacy McAlpine  Number one thing you can do is something we all have accessible, which is our feelings, which isn't something that we're generally taught to use as a way of navigating. But they're there for a reason. And so if you're having a feeling you don't like, you know, stop, think about okay, where's this coming from? And how do I want to feel instead? And what are three different things or if you can only come up with one but usually there's at least three things you can do to get closer to feeling that way. So even if it's the tiniest step, right. So let's say you're super overwhelmed, and you want to feel peaceful, like what's one baby step that you can take, that'll get you closer to feeling peaceful because the more baby steps you take, the more capacity you have to think bigger and to do bigger things. But until then, it's just getting yourself to where you have the ability to do it right to give yourself something achievable, that you can succeed in. So how are you feeling? How do you want to feel instead? What's one thing you can do to get closer to that? And it will change your life. I guarantee you.Lesley Logan  It will. Y'all I've done things like that. And it's like, it's like even sometimes it's like, I gotta go clean the kitchen right now. And I'm like, that's not gonna be fun. So I'm going to turn on some rap music and make it fun so that it feels like I'm having fun while I load that dishwasher. Stacy, (Stacy: Right) thank you so much for your amazing story and for your amazing tips. I really, I know these are going to be super helpful for our listeners. Be It listeners, how are you?
