[00:00:00] Welcome to The Art of Living Big, where we explore how to live intentionally and with more joy. I’m Betsy P, your host, master, coach, and creator of the Navigate Method. Here to help you listen in to your true desires, elevate your standards, and live life to the fullest. Now, let’s go live big.

Hello, fellow Adventurers. Hi everyone. Welcome. Welcome to The Art of Living Big. So I’m gonna see how this sounds. About a month ago I got Invisalign. I feel like I talk weird. Nobody else seems to notice it, so we are just gonna see how this sounds. But if it seems weird next week, I will sound different because I won’t have these in.

You’re supposed to leave them in an absurd amount of. Time, like 22 hours a day, which doesn’t seem like a lot until you realize that in the morning when you have your coffee and you’re hanging out, like [00:01:00] it’s an hour easy, and then you only have 30 minutes for each of your other meals. Anyway, I’ve so lost weight because I don’t, I can’t eat.

And I don’t, I only have these tiny windows of being able to eat, but anyway. Straight teeth are in my future. And so that’s exciting. So I’m excited to be here with you today. I have a little interview and this interview that I’m gonna share with you is really a thought that was shared with me in our team meetings.

So we have team meetings every week, and one of the mindset coaches for the Navigate method is Adriana. She’s amazing and I just, I love her brain. It’s, so good. And I love how aligned she is to where she wants to be and after we had that meeting, I thought about it for like a couple weeks and I had shared it with one of my friends and one of my girlfriends was like, I keep thinking about it. So then I was [00:02:00] like, I wanna tell you guys.

So I had her jump on Zoom with me and just talked about it for a minute, but I want you to hear what Adriana does to make life a little bit more magical and. You know, that’s how I think you live a big life. So here you go. Here’s the little idea from Adriana. I hope you like it. All right everyone.

I have a really special guest today that I’m really excited that she’s here, that she took a few minutes out of her very busy schedule, and I’m not kidding, she’s very busy. But my friend Adriana is here. Adriana is a coach inside the Navigate Method, and she’s really incredible. A couple weeks ago when we were .

In our laser coaching group that we do once a week. I said something about Adriana and everybody cheered. , I was like, what? What is happening? It was so great. So Adriana, thank you for being here. My pleasure. Thank you so much for having me. So tell everybody just a little bit about [00:03:00] you so they can know who you are.

And then I want you to tell us this thing that you said in our team meeting recently that I was like, oh, everybody needs to hear that. I love that. Yeah,

sure. So I am , how do I even describe myself? , I’m , a student of life and throughout my life I was, , introduced to the idea of, , NLP neurolinguistic programming by my dad, but I didn’t know it until years later that’s what he.

Used with his, , clients, students, patients, if you will. And it was so fascinating to me when I went through my own journey, it’s like in your twenties you think you know everything and you know, and then you realize as you’re getting, gaining more experience, like, oh, I don’t even know anything.

Yeah, right. And I had a big move in my thirties and , and then in my late thirties, I,. Finally put my foot down for exactly what I wanted to find as far as what I wanted to do to help people in life. I have always been the go-to for advice. People connect with me in all of , the jobs [00:04:00] I’ve ever had, but it wasn’t fulfilling.

I wasn’t like serving people in a way to really affect change long-term. Right? It’s like they had their moments with me, but they didn’t have the long term. So. I became a professional organizer, but I’ve named, that work for the soul and the space because what is in our outer world is a representation of our inner world.

So now being,, certified as a trainer of NLP and using it in my own life, coming to understanding how, why maybe my dad and I had an awkward relationship it’s so wild to me that your dad did it. Yeah. Yeah. . Actually trained with one of the co-founders, right? So that’s really cool.

It was, it was wild. To have this come around and have my mind like blown, like, oh my God, I now understand what he was trying to do to help me, how this works in my life, and what I started to do to peel back the layers of things that. Weren’t serving me that, weren’t good for me anymore that I could do.

And it’s just changed everything. So [00:05:00] now,, I look at my life very differently and I look at it very purposefully and what I create. And so what I’d mentioned on our meeting yeah. Was, , that I call , the things that occur well, I’ll just say, I call them rich life stories, and when I think of the word rich, like there’s rich as in like chocolatey fudge, that’s rich.

There’s rich as in your bank account has multiple zeros. There’s rich that you feel so loved by family and friends and you know that there’s rich in joy. So for me, rich life stories, what is that? It’s kind of akin to the romanticizing your life, but. It’s also way more than that because it’s a way of looking at even the smallest things like,, I live so close to an airport that I can fly easily out of, here to go to all of my,, fun events and things that I get to do.

Yeah. So lemme kinda frame this though so people know what we’re talking about.

So we’re on a team meeting and you were at an event [00:06:00] and you were saying that you missed your flight or your flight was running late and you had extra time or something and you said, but it’s fine ’cause I’m gonna make it a rich life story. And right off I was like, what do you mean whatcha talking about?

Yeah. And when you started describing this, it’s like we have these moments in our lives. That can be seen as so routine or even as something that is a challenge or this screwed up my schedule or whatever. But you had this spin on it, and so tell me a little bit about how do you take a situation or a moment in your life and make it so that it is a rich life

story?

Yeah. So I was just the other day thinking about this. So maybe this will like on my walk, just a walk where I walk every day from my house out the front door, down the hill, and I can take any one of like choose your own adventure paths because there’s just umpteen different streets to go to.

Yeah. And

they all [00:07:00] kind of circle back around.

And I was smelling orange blossom and roses and night blooming Jasmine. And it’s like you could pay attention to those things and or ignore those things. You could not even be o open. Your sense of smell could be completely blocked because your brain is so busy thinking about what you did during the day, but taking those moments of the mundane.

Or the challenging, like, oh, I’m just gonna take a walk to clear my head. I’ve been so busy. I’ve been stuck to the computer all day, but I actually got out and it’s like, what a rich life I have that I live in the safest place. And it’s like all of, summer is coming out with , the trees blooming and the plants blooming , and all of these wonderful things.

I have neighbors who say hello. I have people who don’t know you that like still wave as they’re driving by. It’s the little things like coming out of la. No one. Like they don’t wanna look at you, you know? Yeah. Yeah. So it’s a rich life to me, whether it’s I’m [00:08:00] in Hawaii or I’m in my own little town. Yeah.

Because it’s the way that I look at it and it’s the way I’m open to how things are magical, you know? And it doesn’t matter. Like, yeah, I almost, I almost miss my flight and, or, you know, if planes are delayed or things like that. Like if you’re in an airport, you are around the possibility of meeting the most amazing souls.

So instead of like, oh my God, like I’m late, I’m gonna miss my connection. It’s like, well, what am I meant to be here for? Like, what do I get to go and do now? Who am I gonna get? What is here for me? Yeah, yeah. What’s here for me? I mean, I noticed that when I come from that perspective of like, how is this gonna be a rich life story for me, of what I’m capable of doing, like the fact that I’m even in an airport getting to travel is a rich life story.

’cause not everybody gets to do that, right? Yeah. Yeah. So. If I operate from that, that’s what I exude. And it’s how people start to respond to me in ways that it’s like, it’s such [00:09:00] a good vibration. Like, I’m smiling, I need you. I’m, you know? Yeah. And even, even if we, you know, it’s like you have to understand too, how you are speaking to somebody else, how you’re responding to them

even if they aren’t meeting you with that same high level mm-hmm. We don’t go down to that. We send them like the most support and the most love that we can. And just try to make their day a little bit better. I was checking into a hotel, there was a long line, okay, so I’m gonna stand here, I’m gonna look around, I’m gonna enjoy the fact that my luggage made it, you know?

And I got to the. The front desk person, and she just had a struggle with the person in front of me. I heard her say , I can sense that you’re, not happy right now, so let me give you your waters and why don’t you come back? ,

She basically like sent him off on a timeout. And she got to me, she was still down. She wasn’t looking at me. She was, , frustrated. I could tell, and I just thought, hmm. Okay. How can I shift this for her? How can I be. [00:10:00] A just an ease part of her day. And I thought almost to say something like, Hey, don’t let that guy like, , bring you down.

Yeah. But then I thought, I don’t have to say it. I can just be it. I can just act like, and then she was lovely and like, oh wait, let me get this for you and let me get that for you. And, and she turned around and it was just because. Of how I responded to the situation. Yeah. And to me, I’m like, it’s rich.

Like my life is so rich, it’s so full. I’m so wealthy and abundant of so many great things. And that’s what I take the time to notice. And so that’s why my life is just filled with rich life stories.

You know, every morning, not every morning, almost every morning I’ll post. Like my outfit on Instagram and I always, yes, I love to see them.

You do see, I see. I got a lot of hate. So I was like, well, I will also include a list of good things and then how can you hate on good things? So I always put kind of on the side things that I’m appreciating. And you know, yesterday it was like, I really like my toenail color, you know? Yeah. It’s new color that I got.

I have a magical [00:11:00] machine in my kitchen. I don’t know if you have one, but it cleans my dishes while I sleep. I mean, is that not amazing? Yeah. So things like that, and I, what I loved so much about framing it in the rich life story was like, if I’m about to have an experience, it reminded me of Abraham Hicks segment intending, do you know who Abraham Hicks is?

Yeah, totally. So segment intending like, I’m about to have this experience. How can I make this a really cool story, , because if we’re framing it like that, I’m gonna tell this story later. What are the amazing things I wanna be able to tell? Yeah. And I really liked that. Like when you were talking, that’s what I was thinking of.

Every experience gets to be a really cool commentary on your life. Mm-hmm. How do you want it to go? Intend it before and say this is gonna be a really rich life story. I shared this with a friend and she , like when that happened, which was like a couple weeks ago. Yeah. And she messaged me this morning.

She’s still doing it. I tried to make it a [00:12:00] rich life story. So I hope that everybody listening, we’ll kind of take that and say, what is happening in my life today that I could make into a really rich life story? ’cause there’s really so much magic and cool things happening all around us

all the time.

There is. There’s one thing that I think helped me get there to this, which was a Joe Dispenza talk where he drew a diagram that showed us in the, like on a timeline in the moment of now. But our mind having all of these lines back to the past, creating what he called a predictable future.

Yeah. And I thought, oh man, like if you’re , already connected, if what my past is full of rich life stories, then excellent. Because that’s what I’m creating going forward. But if what we’re connected to in the past is how like. , Your luck ran out and things went wrong and you, this didn’t work out and you weren’t here when you need whatever.

You’re already there in your mind. You aren’t even in the present for it to be a rich life story. For you to see that [00:13:00] possibility. So to me, I’m like, what is my predictable future? How is my mind creating that for me? Yeah. So the rich life story helps me. Stay focused and intentional about how I’m framing what I’m seeing or being open to opportunities and possibilities as opposed to seeing , only your box of problem.

Yeah. Yeah. Really good. Really good. Thank you so much for coming on and talking with us a little bit about your rich life. Thank you. Thank you for having me. So fun. So good to see you. Yeah. Good to see you too. Thanks for joining me on The Art of Living Big. I hope today’s episode sparked something within you, maybe pushed you to dream a little bit bigger and live a little larger.
