But really, I feel like I just work with people all over the country to help them be happier. And to help them have a little bit more ease in their life. Today, I hope to do the same for you. Thanks for listening. Now, let’s go live big. Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 55 of The Art of Living bag. All right, I failed. I’m going to tell you a story. And I’m going to tell you what I learned from it. And this is not really the podcast I expected to do today. But it is what it is. And I totally believe that there is some lessons and some really good things that I learned. All right, so what am I talking about? If you’ve listened to any of the last five episodes, I have been talking about the live big lab. So I would do the podcast and I would have something that you could learn as a deep dive inside the live big lab. So I had this idea back over the early part of the spring, and I went for a walk at in my in law’s house. So it must have been Memorial Day. And I was walking and listening to a podcast. And as I was listening, I thought I wish they had more I wish I could go in and learn more. And that really triggered something in me because I had been wanting to do a membership site. I’m really a big, huge fan of community and wanting to build community. And so I thought, Oh, well, that’s what I’ll do. And I started pulling this all together in my mind the big live big lab, and it was gonna be so fabulous. And so I did those few episodes, Episode 5152 53 and the 54. And I put them out there. And I’m thankful that I only had the lab open during that first week, because I wanted to do sort of a beta test. So I wanted a small group of people. So I could try it out and see how it went. And if there were any snack foods, I would be able to fix it with just a small amount of people. Now, that was actually a really good choice. Because what I found when I was doing the lab was that those deep dives, felt like important information. So I was teaching something in the podcast, and the deep dives. I felt like as I was trying to decide, like what do I hold back to put in the deep dive. It just felt wrong, it felt wrong to hold back the pieces of information that I was. And really, maybe a group coaching or a monthly coaching call would be a better way for me to do a membership. But regardless, I realized it felt yucky. And so I made a big bold decision and just decided to stop it, I’d only done four episodes. And a lot of people said to me, as I, as I, you know, went to a couple of my mentors and bounce some ideas off my husband. They said, like, should you try it for six months, like maybe it’s just because it’s new, maybe it’s because you know, you just have a small group in there, which in my mind, I was like that was by design. But in the end, I just decided how it felt it wasn’t aligned with who I was. So here’s who I am, I really live in a world of abundancy I want to have, and I believe there’s lots out there for everybody. And so when I was holding something back, it felt like I was selling something on the basis of scarcity. And that just didn’t feel right to me. Typically, even when I do my 60 days of transformation, that group coaching program, the only reason I have a drop dead date to sign up is simply because everybody starts together. So I don’t really have anything that’s on a model of scarcity. And, and I really didn’t like it. So I stopped it. And if you want to get those deep dives,
