Transcripts

Rachel:

Welcome to the Rooted Business Podcast.

2

:

I'm Rachel, your intentional

marketing architect.

3

:

Jess: And I'm Jess, your

systems and ops guru.

4

:

Rachel: In this podcast, we'll

talk through our experiences as

5

:

seasoned business owners open up

about our triumphs and challenges.

6

:

We'll share candid conversations and

invaluable insights to help you establish

7

:

a business that stands the test of time.

8

:

Jess: Together, we've navigated

the ups and downs of running a

9

:

successful online business, and

we know firsthand the importance

10

:

of finding harmony in your hustle.

11

:

Jessica: All right.

12

:

Hello and welcome back.

13

:

We are here after.

14

:

I feel like I haven't talked to you

in forever, but I know it's only been.

15

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: It's been a.

16

:

Track 1: I know we took a week off last

week to enjoy I guess the holiday weekend

17

:

and we had to shift some things around.

18

:

Rachel's watching her nephew, which

is why we built our businesses in

19

:

the first place, is to be able to

have the freedom and flexibility to

20

:

shift our schedules when we needed.

21

:

So I'm glad we honored that

and enjoyed our long weekend.

22

:

Did you take, actually take a long

weekend or did you use it to catch up?

23

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422:

A little bit of both.

24

:

I was like, when I felt inspired,

I jumped on and would get

25

:

something done really quick.

26

:

And then when I was done and

bored, I just logged off.

27

:

But for the most part I was like,

I'm gonna respect, 'cause we were

28

:

gonna record this on Monday and I

said, let's be good business owners

29

:

and not, and so I think that's like

me honoring my boundaries there.

30

:

Track 1: Yeah, I like not having

commitments, but I also like having

31

:

the freedom on the weekends to

get ahead if I choose to, or be

32

:

able to get ahead if I, take off.

33

:

I think so many people like emphasize

don't work on the weekends, take this off.

34

:

And like for me personally, I don't mind

working like six or seven days a week.

35

:

If I'm only working shorter days and.

36

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: Yeah, my

brain literally stops working on weekends

37

:

Track 1: That's, yeah.

38

:

Today we're gonna be talking about a

ano a topic we haven't, we've touched on

39

:

briefly, probably in epi I every episode.

40

:

But today we're gonna be doing like a

little deeper dive into like spirituality

41

:

and the tools that we pull in from

the, like spiritual space to help us

42

:

stay grounded and grow in our business.

43

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: Yeah, I

think there's quite a few tools that

44

:

both you and I use and then even like

reflecting on how we met and all of that,

45

:

like it was all through these kind of.

46

:

Non-business, more spiritual side

of things so that we can really

47

:

ground down and make sure we're

not losing our brains while we're

48

:

going through this crazy journey.

49

:

Track 1: Yeah.

50

:

Yeah.

51

:

So if you missed it in episode one,

Rachel and I met in a manifestation group.

52

:

It was a random group.

53

:

We joined in Facebook, just to give you

the quick thing where it was based on

54

:

gala's, morning manifestation principles,

and we'd speak into the universe our

55

:

affirmations, intention and desires.

56

:

Every single morning.

57

:

And I attribute that group to me

not giving up that first year,

58

:

because that first year of stepping

out on your own is so hard.

59

:

But I think immediately we also notice

that we have other things in common.

60

:

Like I see Rachel pulling

her cards every morning.

61

:

I love my card as well.

62

:

I actually Like I pulled a card right

before here, and so it has brilliant idea.

63

:

This is our card for us.

64

:

So it says, brilliant idea.

65

:

Your idea is divinely guided.

66

:

Please take action to bring

your idea to fruition.

67

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: Oh my gosh.

68

:

And when you like for people who maybe

don't pull cards, I feel like I get

69

:

a lot of validation and like guidance

and if that is not validation that I.

70

:

This podcast has been so much fun just

to record just to talk and explore this

71

:

side of, a different marketing channel.

72

:

Like brilliant idea.

73

:

I love that

74

:

Track 1: Yeah, and this one actually like

I'm super woo, like this one actually

75

:

hopped out the deck when I was walking.

76

:

Like I, and.

77

:

This is our card and

I think it's relevant.

78

:

I know you're working on some new ideas.

79

:

I've definitely got some new ideas.

80

:

This is idea that on the right

track, according to do you have

81

:

any other spiritual things that

you lean into on a regular basis?

82

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: I notice

most when I get stuck or when I

83

:

get like brain fog and all of that.

84

:

I always go to journaling and meditation.

85

:

Those are like my two.

86

:

I wish I am like more structured in it.

87

:

I've tried to follow like the artist's

way, but that's so hard to get

88

:

up immediately and start writing.

89

:

But yeah, journaling and meditation

have been like two of the biggest

90

:

like tools for breaking through

when I am like the most stuck,

91

:

the most blocked and all of that.

92

:

Track 1: I do journal sometimes

for me, it's very hard for

93

:

me to sit still high person.

94

:

I talk fast.

95

:

I move fast, so most of the time, It's

not about, it's got about getting like

96

:

the excess energy, like out of my body

so that I can sit still and think.

97

:

So that's where my yoga

practice just comes into play.

98

:

Like a place where I'm not

like meditating, can't do

99

:

it, cannot just sit there.

100

:

It's never gonna happen.

101

:

But getting into a pose and like

contorting myself into these weird

102

:

positions and having to concentrate

on one thing and hold it, I get so

103

:

much just like clarity and space.

104

:

I almost wanna have like a notebook

next to my yoga mat because,

105

:

Slow down because it's trying

to focus on, holding that pose

106

:

is something great for me.

107

:

And I also just love to

go on walks in nature.

108

:

Anything where I'm moving my body and

maybe not listening to a podcast to on.

109

:

Walking so that my body has

something else to concentrate on.

110

:

And that kind of gives me the

space to have those great thoughts.

111

:

It's not uncommon for me to pull

out my phone and start like voice

112

:

recording thoughts that are, coming

to the surface as I'm walking.

113

:

But yeah, anything sitting still.

114

:

I just got my, I dunno if

you'd see it back there.

115

:

Just got my walking pad.

116

:

So I've been walking and working

and I was gonna be really hard

117

:

to do, but it actually like,

118

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: I know

I'm like two weeks into my walking

119

:

pad and I think I'm like up to about

maybe an hour of walking, like a day.

120

:

I'd like to get more in, but

sometimes I just overheat and I'm

121

:

like, I just, I need to sit down.

122

:

But I find it so fascinating that I

am more lean, more towards like the

123

:

still meditations, but my yoga teacher

will always tell me like, what we're

124

:

doing here is move a moving meditation.

125

:

So like going through the processes,

aligning your breaths with each

126

:

mo like movement and everything.

127

:

So you're still meditating.

128

:

It's just

129

:

moving

130

:

Track 1: In addition, I don't even

know if you do this, so I'm certified

131

:

yoga teacher, but I'm also Ayurveda.

132

:

And Ayurveda has a lot

to do Ayurveda therapist.

133

:

So Ayurveda has a lot to do with just

like balancing out like the elements.

134

:

So like earth, your earth element,

your fire element, your wind element.

135

:

So Ada, it's a lot of

wind, a lot of movement.

136

:

So that's what I contain, like you're

made up in all of it, but you'll have

137

:

different like compositions of like earth.

138

:

I'm gonna guess that Rachel's a little

more earthy than I am, and I'm a

139

:

little more winded and grounded just

by the way she speaks and the way

140

:

that I speak, which is a lot fast.

141

:

So it's all about finding, applying

the opposite to find the balance.

142

:

So if you're finding, and I was thinking

about this week, is Like signs that your

143

:

business may need a little more grounding

energy into it, which when I think of

144

:

grounding energy, I think about being like

a lot more like intentional and planful.

145

:

It's if you're having a bunch of ideas

but like struggling to get started,

146

:

then you need to apply some grounded,

but in the same way, like if you have

147

:

too much grounding energy, maybe you're

just stuck in like that day to day and.

148

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: me.

149

:

Track 1: You need the motivation to

move forward and then you might need

150

:

some, ideas or inspiration and what can

you find, what business tools or even

151

:

spiritual tools can you tap into to

invite some like fire and determination

152

:

where I think like goal setting and

like public accountability and stuff,

153

:

is that more like fiery elements of it?

154

:

So what can you do to pull yourself

like forward out of that grounded.

155

:

State.

156

:

So I've been thinking a lot about

how do I classify the different like

157

:

processes and things that we do in

our business from like an energetic

158

:

standpoint so that you can apply the

opposite and find that balance and

159

:

move forward at a steady balance rate.

160

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422:

Oh, I love that.

161

:

I've never even.

162

:

Considered how you can drill down into

each process and assign like the type of

163

:

energetic, like level and all of that.

164

:

I am I'm fascinated.

165

:

We need to I need to know what

you've, I need to see it in your

166

:

notion essentially like how you've

structured this, because Yeah.

167

:

Track 1: So these are the thoughts

that come to me during a yoga class.

168

:

And my, but the problem is sometimes

too, is like after yoga, it's gone.

169

:

If I don't write it down immediately,

but I'm like, I need to remember this

170

:

because this was such an energetic

breakthrough of me, of oh, like I, I need

171

:

more grounding energy in my business.

172

:

And I feel like that's

planning where, you know,

173

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: That's

kind fascinating because my space like

174

:

that is like the shower or when I'm

driving, I have the most incredible

175

:

ideas flow to me in those two places.

176

:

And then I like step out of

the car or the shower and gone.

177

:

I'm like, what is this?

178

:

It's fascinating to me, but I don't know.

179

:

It's I'd love to be able to capture those

and to just do voice notes, but it's

180

:

fascinating how it just it's like a safe

space and your brain flows freely and then

181

:

Track 1: I know, I feel like it's,

for a while I would wake up very

182

:

early and do the like artist way

and write down, and that they say

183

:

that like that quiet time between.

184

:

Four and six, which is really early.

185

:

I know I'm a weirdo.

186

:

But four and six, like the,

the veil is like thinner.

187

:

So you'll able to get those like

inspirational downloads better.

188

:

Time change is coming.

189

:

It might be easier for

you to wake up earlier.

190

:

So maybe wake up and try

to do some journaling and.

191

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: Person at all.

192

:

Track 1: Do your voice notes.

193

:

So another thing that Rachel and

I connected over was human design.

194

:

I think, I don't know if it just

came out in:

195

:

was definitely when I feel like

196

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422:

blew up essentially.

197

:

Yeah.

198

:

Track 1: design.

199

:

When I explain it, when I say this,

it's gonna sound super woo, but

200

:

basically like a guy, got a download.

201

:

I don't know.

202

:

I think from an angel,

don't quote me on that.

203

:

I'm not a human design expert.

204

:

I've only done self-study and

read a couple of books about it.

205

:

But you gotta download about the system.

206

:

And the way, the reason why it attracted

to me, Is because it combined a lot of

207

:

the, like other spiritual systems that I

was already aware of, but into one thing.

208

:

So it has elements of Ayurveda in it.

209

:

It has elements of like Chinese

medicine, has elements of Buddhism

210

:

and all of that elements of astrology.

211

:

It's like all of it combined.

212

:

And when I first started

reading it, I was like, oh my,

213

:

If you wanna look it up, go.

214

:

There's plenty of resources on that.

215

:

We can pre maybe put some in the

show notes, but for this purpose just

216

:

sharing, I am a manifesting generator.

217

:

Think of a 4 4 1 manifesting

generator with a sacral response.

218

:

And Rachel is a.

219

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: Manifest.

220

:

Three, five profile.

221

:

My inner authority is emotional.

222

:

And Jess knows way more

about this stuff than I do.

223

:

I have read through more of the manifester

side of things and I'm like yep.

224

:

Like it, it all hits and it

connects into the right places how

225

:

to implement and Utilize foreign.

226

:

It's so foreign to me, but I've, explored

other pro accounts and stuff and it's

227

:

incredible when you live in your design,

the like way things just fall into place.

228

:

Track 1: Yeah, and I think a lot of it

is, one of the things that I love most

229

:

about human design and both Ayurveda,

is there's so much compassion that

230

:

we are like all unique and we're all

like made up of different elements.

231

:

And the way that those elements

manifest in you and your body like

232

:

will present different challenges

233

:

Operating from a get up and go level.

234

:

And so I found so much compassion

for myself being like, oh no, this is

235

:

how, there's nothing wrong with you,

but like this is your energetic blue

236

:

parent and there are things that you

can do to kind of balance yourself out.

237

:

So noticing when I do need to get

more grounded, that sort of thing.

238

:

But one of the main things that kind of

go against the grain in human design is

239

:

your like strategy for bringing things.

240

:

the world because a lot of that we are

taught with the just do it mentality.

241

:

Like just make it happen.

242

:

Just do it.

243

:

We're in reality, according

to human design, like only

244

:

manifesters can just do it.

245

:

And that is Rachel.

246

:

Thankfully, I think like 10 per, I

have no idea, like 10% of population.

247

:

It's not a lot.

248

:

Rest are generators or projectors

for the most part, respond.

249

:

If you have an idea for.

250

:

And I need to take this on

advice and write it on board.

251

:

It's if you have a good idea,

'cause I have them every day.

252

:

Do not go create the offer,

create the website, create

253

:

the landing all in one day.

254

:

Because with my energy I can do

it, but it'll pull me off course.

255

:

And it is not meant to me.

256

:

The correct response to be is exactly

what happened with this podcast.

257

:

I had an idea that I wanted

to do a podcast forever.

258

:

It was on my annual plan.

259

:

Just sitting there in my

notion project board, but.

260

:

I didn't do anything with it, and

I knew that I wanted a co-host and

261

:

Rachel and I connected like randomly.

262

:

And the idea to ask Rachel Hey,

if you ever wanna co-host, just

263

:

like randomly popped in my head.

264

:

So like I responded to an

idea in the moment that I had.

265

:

Rather than just having the idea

and making it happen, it's like

266

:

my ideas need to marinate on

the shelf for a little bit and.

267

:

I can take that idea once I respond

to it in like a physical form.

268

:

If I get a gut sensation of a yes, which

for me, I get the zoomies, I run around

269

:

that sort of thing, and it's like a sacral

response of a yes to actually do it.

270

:

And Rachel, 'cause she had this

question for Rachel, she sent it to

271

:

me of what does it mean to inform

which, so my strategy is to bring

272

:

strategy.

273

:

Which for me, I think informing looks

like when you have an idea, like sharing

274

:

it, so from a marketing capacity, I

think it is like taking people, like

275

:

behind the build of a project, like

showing them like your thought process

276

:

of getting it so that they're, you're

informing them along the way so that

277

:

you can bring them along with you.

278

:

Because a lot of times I

feel like manifest are gonna

279

:

be like leading the charge.

280

:

So that's what I've

gotten from it at least.

281

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: Yeah, I

think because I've done some research

282

:

on this, and obviously like the strategy

to inform, plus my right angle, cross

283

:

of tension feels really the stars

wanted to make my life very difficult,

284

:

because I've researched on like the

cross of tension and it's literally

285

:

saying breaking the molds, like

sharing those kind of aspects of quo.

286

:

And I could be wrong on that, but that

literally is how I've approached email

287

:

marketing in general, where people have

this mindset of like email marketing

288

:

as very much like spammy, like blast.

289

:

And I've always approached it more

of this is a person on the other end.

290

:

And not a lot of people teach that

kind of like customer journey, like the

291

:

intentional side of it, like the nurturing

side, the human side of marketing.

292

:

And it's one of those things that

I've always journaled about, like

293

:

in the sense of really making sure

that my values come through as.

294

:

I do not ever want to manipulate

someone using marketing, and I

295

:

think that is like the opposite

of what people do with marketing.

296

:

And I don't know, I guess the validation

of, yeah, you're gonna, piss some people

297

:

off, you're not gonna always be well

received, like that's there and it's.

298

:

Reassuring, but it's also very

difficult to run a business

299

:

when only a certain amount of

people connect with that message.

300

:

'cause they're not, and then I always

live by the mantra, like people receive

301

:

what they're ready for and that's

how I know my audience connects with

302

:

me, who are ready for that message.

303

:

Not the ones that are like, yeah,

I actually do wanna spam people or

304

:

I don't care how salesy I come off,

I need the money kind of thing.

305

:

I don't want to attract those people.

306

:

That align?

307

:

Like at least with what you know

about the what is it called?

308

:

Like the incarnation crosses.

309

:

Track 1: Yeah.

310

:

Yeah, for sure.

311

:

So I had to just look mine up

with my incarnation and it

312

:

is the It's the cross of shock

313

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: Oh.

314

:

Track 1: So I'm supposed to shock

people, which I think sometimes I do

315

:

have a tendency to say things that

like elicit, basically I'm supposed

316

:

to like shock people out of like

their way of operating into and call

317

:

them up into a new way of being.

318

:

So I'm glad I'm a podcaster now.

319

:

Talk and shock people.

320

:

, but . But I also have one, and if

anyone's a human design person,

321

:

message me is that I'm a four

one, which means like fixed fate.

322

:

And from what I understand,

like I can't mix anything up.

323

:

Like I'm just on this fixed ride to

324

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: I love that.

325

:

That's a beautiful

affirmation or mantra I mess.

326

:

Track 1: I have fixed fate,

which is like a very rare thing.

327

:

So yeah, I do like to

lean into human design.

328

:

I also like to lean into Ayurveda

as just a way of of operating in a

329

:

way that is balanced with my soul,

330

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: Yeah.

331

:

Track 1: Yeah,

332

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422:

Yeah, the human design.

333

:

If anybody listens to this and is

actually familiar with more of this

334

:

than we are, please fact check us.

335

:

Message us.

336

:

'cause we're so fascinated by this.

337

:

Maybe we'll even bring someone on that

can actually talk to us about this.

338

:

in a knowledgeable, like less

339

:

Track 1: Yes.

340

:

This is from our own experimentation

of what works for me.

341

:

My what works, what I know about myself

is I'm going to have a million ideas,

342

:

and I was talking about this with one

of my clients yesterday, is I have

343

:

learned this so many times of like.

344

:

When I try to force things to make happen,

which again goes against the grid of

345

:

anything, we're trying to create business.

346

:

They tell you, create your offers, go out

there and market your offers, do this.

347

:

But for me it's, I find more success

of like just surrendering that as like

348

:

as long as I'm sharing my passion.

349

:

Sharing like knowledge, even from a

content creation, like I've been leaning

350

:

way more into content creation, being

more consistent with Instagram, but

351

:

I find that I get better responses

when I'm responding to something.

352

:

Either I'm creating content that's like

in response to like client questions

353

:

I've got, or things that are actually

happening rather than trying to be

354

:

like super strategic and map out an

entire Funnel and eco, like all of the

355

:

like content web and stuff like that.

356

:

And I wanna find a way to balance it

because I know that both are relevant.

357

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: Yeah, totally.

358

:

I think that was like, that brought up

a TikTok and I tried to find it for this

359

:

call where it brought up this like a

lot of the people you see that go like

360

:

viral and have like big energy and like

those content creators that just have

361

:

this like type of attraction Space.

362

:

They all are certain design

from like the human design

363

:

perspective, I tried to find it.

364

:

I couldn't get into it, but I know that.

365

:

I think when you're starting out as

a business owner or you're starting

366

:

your new business or as a freelancer,

whatever, and you're just trying to

367

:

create these systems that work for you,

but you're having like so many people

368

:

yell at you like, oh, this is the path.

369

:

This is the place to, or the

plan to do it and here, buy this

370

:

roadmap and blah, blah, blah, blah.

371

:

And it's Really important to

always lean into, and I ask my

372

:

clients this, people who've been

in business for years and years, I

373

:

always say what feels good to you?

374

:

Oh, you don't want a live launch?

375

:

Okay, let's Reverse engineer

this so that you're not using

376

:

all of your energy in this space.

377

:

And I think that's something that if I

could go back to baby business owner,

378

:

Rachel, I would have her be so much more

intentional about asking that question in

379

:

every opportunity, like every investment,

every decision that I made, because I was

380

:

quite literally if you're in the online

space, you hear so many people just like

381

:

shouting, this is how you run a business.

382

:

And you're like that doesn't feel good.

383

:

And it gives you this like doubt and

like insecurity of can I actually

384

:

run a business in a different way?

385

:

And the answer is yes, because

literally it's your energy that's

386

:

going to create the success.

387

:

And if you're constantly

depleted, you're gonna.

388

:

Quit give up all of that.

389

:

So definitely one of those things that

intuition, honoring your energy alignment

390

:

is oh, I wish I could go back and tell

baby Ra baby business, Rachel, this

391

:

Track 1: It's almost like you have

to, it's not, what they're saying is,

392

:

it's not that it's not valuable, but

it's like you need to pick and choose

393

:

and you're gonna develop your own

toolbox like we're talking about here

394

:

of what is working with you and I.

395

:

For me, another big thing that I've

noticed is like if I'm resisting

396

:

something, instead of beating myself

up about you're lazy or you're such

397

:

a procrastinator, you're not doing

this, like really going deeper and

398

:

trying to identify like, Why am I

having so much resistance to this task?

399

:

Like what part about it does not

feel aligned about it so that I

400

:

can make shifts that way so that

it's something that you're excited

401

:

and you want to show up to do.

402

:

And yes, there is room for it's,

everything's balanced in like

403

:

juxtaposition because it's yes, in

order to grow you're gonna have to

404

:

get comfortable being uncomfortable,

but there's a difference between being

405

:

uncomfortable and being unaligned.

406

:

And like figuring out what those

two feel like in your own body is

407

:

probably one of the most valuable

things that you can do as a.

408

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: Yeah, I,

that brings up one of my like favorite

409

:

mantras that I've repeated to myself

as I've gone through business and it's

410

:

like in the discomfort is where you grow

and That doesn't mean you're hurting

411

:

yourself or you're like putting yourself

in like dangerous situations, but it's

412

:

literally like your comfort zone is there

to keep you like safe, so to speak, but

413

:

you're like, Outside of your comfort

zone is where you get challenged and

414

:

where you learn and where you grow.

415

:

And I think it's one of those things that

if you just embrace feeling a little bit

416

:

uncomfortable because that's business

baby, like it's one of those things

417

:

that you Get used to that discomfort

a little bit, and you're more willing

418

:

to step outside and try something new.

419

:

But always coming back to that

place of how did that feel for me?

420

:

Oh, it felt okay, or, oh, I

think I wanna try this next time.

421

:

It's all about trusting

yourself in the process.

422

:

And unfortunately, I think there's so

many people that capitalize on people

423

:

not trusting themselves and being

the guide and the answer towards a

424

:

lot of business owners in the space.

425

:

But if you can create a practice that's

rooted in your intuition and trusting

426

:

that your body knows, then I think you

can create Some very smart decisions

427

:

without those hefty investments that

you know come with the business.

428

:

Chaos

429

:

Track 1: Yes.

430

:

Yeah, for sure.

431

:

Okay, so I feel like we did like a

quick roll call of our spiritual tools.

432

:

We pull cards, we journal, we do yoga, we.

433

:

Try to figure out what our

human design is and live that.

434

:

I think that's like a constant exploration

of coming into yourself just a.

435

:

Finished.

436

:

It's always going to be about finding

growth and balance, and then you're gonna

437

:

grow and then you're gonna get unbalanced.

438

:

And it's like there is no in destination

to this of finding a balanced

439

:

business or even building a rooted

business, which we're talking about.

440

:

Like you're never gonna be like, I

have arrived and I have a completely

441

:

rooted and balanced business.

442

:

It's gonna be constant, balancing

and rebalancing to that.

443

:

Any closing thoughts Rachel?

444

:

rachel_1_09-06-2023_130422: I would

love to know other practices if you're

445

:

listening to this, share some of your

favorite spiritual practices that have

446

:

helped you stay aligned in business.

447

:

But other than that, we're

rooting for you guys and I hope

:
