Today Betsy will share with us some recent difficult events in her life. She shares her thoughts around how she has truly learned the importance of slowing down and paying attention to what you truly need in the current moment. She offers the idea that maybe taking care of yourself is actually the thing that keeps everything else afloat. So next time you find yourself on a trajectory of chaos, stop and just take care of yourself. >>> Connect with Betsy on IG @betsypake TRANSCRIPT Welcome to the Art of Living big podcast. My name is Betsy pake. I’m an author, a speaker, and a trainer of NLP and hypnotherapy. And I’m focused on helping you understand and design your life with the power of the subconscious. This podcast is designed to help you think differently about what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live big. Hello, hi, welcome fellow adventurers. Welcome to the show today. So today’s show, I’m doing a coffee talk episode. So I have some things to share some updates to give you, I want to share some books that I’ve been loving some things I’ve been doing that you might want to do, I don’t know, it might inspire you to do something a little different this summer. And so I thought we would just get together and Coffee Talk is where I have coffee, which I’m doing this in the afternoon. So I’m having a pro, I’m gonna, it’s a premier protein talk, we’re gonna have a little protein drink, and chat about some things. So quick update, before I really dive in, I want to give a shout out to my amazing Podcast Producer, Sydney over at the creators attache. So you guys, if you’ve been here for a while, and you’ve heard my podcast, you know that I record. And then the way it used to be in the beginning if you’ve been here, so like for a long time, I would something would happen, I would have this epiphany or this idea or this like moment, and then I would record it, and then you would get the show. I mean, sometimes within hours, right. But if you would see me say something on Instagram, you might see the show or hear the show. And like the whole big explanation about the thing, you might get all that like within a day or two. But then when I started using the Podcast Producer, everything was pushed back. So you know, there’s a lot that goes on, you probably have figured this, but like recording, but then there’s a whole bunch of stuff that has to go on with the recording and syncing things up and uploading things. And like there’s just a lot of moving parts to that. And it takes them some time to be able to do that, and to deal with me and all their other clients. So the lead time has been six weeks now. I think because of the way I’ve always done the show, where I’ve talked and then immediately, like shared it, I was feeling really disconnected, right? Because I would go to Iceland, then it would be six weeks before the Iceland episode would come out. Which again, it makes sense, logically, it makes sense. But I was feeling like it wasn’t doing for me what it used to do. And so I reached out and talked to them. And they have agreed to cut that time in half. And so we’re only going to be three weeks out, which is honestly nothing. So now it will seem much more aligned with everything else that that is happening. I feel really good about that. And I hope that you guys do too, I hope that you can sense like a difference. And you feel like it’s a little bit more up to the timeline of things. So thank you for being patient with me over the last few months as I tried to figure out what really worked, you know, anytime there’s growth in anything, there’s going to be like good things and bad things and things you have to figure out.
