Abby opens up about how lapses in her ritual self-care practices can throw her life into disarray (read: a total #shitshow) and make her more easily triggered by small stuff.

Ryan opens up about the arbitrary benchmarks he uses to measure his worth, and the ridiculous metrics he uses to make said measurements.

Ryan channeled his dad through his guitar, and the message was "let yourself be what you are."

The Four Stages of Competence (2.5 is the sweet spot - the Beginner's Mind):

1. Unconscious incompetence
2. Conscious incompetence
3. Conscious competence
4. Unconscious competence

TOOLS:

• Feeling defensive? Ask yourself what you're really defending yourself against.
• Feeling like you don't measure up? Ask yourself what you're comparing yourself to.
• Wondering if what you're doing is working? Stop doing it and see if your life falls apart.

GRATITUDE:

• Ryan is grateful for his "For When You're Feeling Defensive" tool.
• Abby is grateful for her sister! Again!

What was a good solution for you in the past may be a problem for you in the present. As beings of change and growth, we are moving targets; self love may look different day-to-day. Being present and being an observer are great ways to prevent getting stuck in a way of being that no longer works for you - even if it worked really well for you up until now.

All the good shit exists on a higher frequency. Raise your frequency by any means, and all the good shit will be available to you - like playing the same song in a higher octave.

Learn to recognize what your Intuition sounds like, learn to consult it frequently, and learn to trust it.

___________________________

Tribe Member Question: If you're living in your True North, will you find contentment and satisfaction in all of your pursuits, even look forward to them?

Our Answer: YES. Think of your life like a chocolate chip cookie. Your True North stuff is the chocolate chips, and everything else is...well, everything else. Not every single bit has to be chocolate, but there has to be chocolate in your cookie. Abby has Three B's for getting through the shit that ain't chocolate:

1. Bag it. If it's not supporting your True North (e.g. filing taxes for your business), and not absolutely necessary, stop doing it.
2. Barter it. Get someone else to do it. Trade goods for services, pay them, whatever you gotta do to get done and immediately off your plate.
3. Better it. If absolutely must be done, and you are absolutely the one who must do it, find a way to make it a joyful experience.

Gratitude is a choice, not a reaction. Enlightenment is a path, not a destination.

SHIT WE WANT YOU TO DO:

Also, I've almost met my character count limit, so here are some emojis just to get it over the finish line 'cause I'm technically a millennial: 🥔😬🐼🥓🐷🥧💨🍟🐨🌭🐃🤯🚽🐉🐽🥐🦎🌯

That's a pie. I'm really disappointed there's no bidet emoji.

"Joy is a high frequency. Your life path is in a high frequency. Your best partner exists in a high frequency. Financial freedom is in a high frequency. Health is a high frequency."
^^ You have to train yourself to operate in Joy (see "Layering" below).

Words that are active in the physical realm, but have no meaning in the Multi-sensory (spiritual) world: How, What, When, Where, Why. If your question uses one of these words, rephrase it until it doesn't.


TECHNIQUES:

• Layering, for training yourself to operate in Joy:
  Which of your five senses do you use most prominently? Spend some time every day forcing yourself to use that sense to only experience things that bring you joy.
  
  
• Resting in the Second Chakra, for feeling your real emotions:
  Place your hand on your navel, and visualize a waterfall gently washing from the top of your head down to the lowest part of your body. Then ask your self "what am I really feeling?" Let go of the question, go back into your body, and wait for the answer to come. Trust your intuition to understand it.
  
  
• Asking "What if..." Questions, when affirmations don't work:
  The Ego is resistant to things it doesn't believe, but not to curiosity. Instead of saying "I will get healthy," try asking "What if I were healthy?"

Marie's message for you. Yeah, YOU:
"You are precious, you are beyond the beyond, you are magnificent, you are naturally gifted and talented, and I celebrate your discovery of that." - Marie Manuchehri


GRATITUDE:

• Ryan's grateful that the Universe has been giving him confirmations on the butts of cars at stoplights.
• Marie is grateful that she's gonna get to see her new grandbaby!!
• Abby is grateful for Ryan, because he won't let her say "no" to her True North.

Abby & Ryan discuss their full moon rituals.

The Alchemist is the Alchemy - Don't focus on fixing the problem; focus on fixing yourself.

Want to be a great [fill in the blank]? Focus on developing as a spiritual being.

The more aligned you are with your True North, the more ease you'll experience in working towards it.


Emotional Release as a form of Healing:

1. Events create experiences.
2. Experiences create stories.
3. Stories create emotions.
4. If emotions aren't released, the body stores them as energy.
5. Pent-up energy causes disease, disorder, and dysfunction.
6. Releasing stagnant energy can heal the body's ailments.
7. Feeling your feelings is a great way to release them.
8. Emotional Release creates a void (ether), which can be refilled with Love & Light.

Ryan is becoming an alchemist. Like, an alchemist alchemist. DON'T JUDGE ME 😓😖🤢


GRATITUDE:

• Ryan is grateful that they had the conversation they did in this episode.
• Abby is grateful that they both showed up as their true selves, respectfully not giving a shit what people would think (mostly).

Abby & Ryan debrief their thoughts and feelings on how the last few episodes have gone - and why they feel that way.

Abby and Ryan are both insecure about being/appearing smart!

• Abby's response is to say very little.
• Ryan's response is to overcompensate.

There's a difference between critiquing the things you do, and critiquing the person doing them.

Limiting beliefs can contain hidden gifts:

• Abby speaks impeccably and accessibly because of how much time she's spent caring about how well spoken she is.
• Ryan's actually pretty smart because of all the overcompensating he did to keep from ever being caught looking stupid.

Relationship Workshop!

• Rupture & Repair
• Owning that your suffering is your suffering
• Acknowledging what you don't know, and being curious
• Speaking your truth even when it's scary
• Being a safe place for the other to speak their truth
• Catching yourself in unhelpful behavioral/linguistic patterns, and PIVOTing
• Choosing to believe the best about the other

GRATITUDE!

• Abby is grateful for the people in her life who kindly nudge her towards people and experiences that are good for her.
• Ryan is grateful for Todd & Cathy Adams, leaders of an online group he recently joined and immediately fell in love with.

On moving to the next chapter in life:

• Chances are, if you're still here, there's still something left to learn before you're ready to turn the page.
• If it's time, you'll know - the Universe will tell you. You just have to know the language and be listening for the message.
• You're co-creating your life in conjunction with Spirit. It's your discernment PLUS their guidance.

On being righteously selfish:

• Are you moving in your True North? Prioritize yourself. You're already operating in Love & Light and motivated to achieve the highest good of everyone.
• Are you still figuring it out? Pay attention to opportunities to get better at considering the experiences of the people in your life.

On meeting people where they are:

• You're self-referential if you interpret people's actions, behaviors, and words through the lens of your own context. This generates a desire to inform them of your context.
• You're self-effacing if you see people's actions, behaviors, and words as windows into their contexts. This generates curiosity about their contexts.
• How to tell which one you are: listen to what comes out of your mouth. Do you make statements about yourself, or ask questions about them?

Raising self-effacing kids:

• Are you teaching them "do this because people will want you to do it" or "don't do that because people won't want you to do it"?
• Try teaching them to care about other people's experiences.

Relationships with people who aren't healing, and not interested in doing so:

• If they're not mistreating you, try to see them through the lens of their own context, and hold space for them to be what they are.
• Are they mistreating you? Set and keep boundaries, out of respect for yourself. If the boundaries aren't honored, it might be time to consider ending the relationship.

GRATITUDE:

• Abby is grateful for herself! And that she's choosing to take care of herself.
• Ryan is grateful for a friend who convinced him not to trash the art he made as a kid.
