EPISODE OVERVIEW

Duration: Approximately 38 minutes

Best For: Business owners who have run themselves into the ground trying to serve everyone else first

Key Outcome: A practical framework for building a sustainable morning routine that protects your energy, plus permission to stop overcomplicating your marketing and just start

THE BOTTOM LINE

If you have been telling yourself for years that you will get healthy, spend time with family, and take that holiday once things calm down, this episode is your wake-up call. Angiras Auro learned the hard way that pushing through stress and ignoring your body leads to complete collapse. After 18 months of redundancy stress that left her with weeks-long migraines and barely able to function, she discovered that the business could only restart once she prioritized herself first. Her journey from burnout to building a thriving kinesiology practice and training program proves that self-care is not selfish. It is the foundation everything else depends on. She rebuilt from nothing by getting her energy right first, and clients started appearing without her even advertising.

WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS TO YOU


You will learn why putting yourself last is actually destroying your ability to serve clients, family, and your team effectively


You will discover a practical morning routine combining meditation, breathwork, and journaling that transforms your daily energy and focus


You will get permission to stop overcomplicating your marketing strategy and just start with two or three simple posts per week


You will understand the true cost of ignoring stress signals, including how burnout can wipe out your client base and leave you rebuilding from scratch


KEY INSIGHTS YOU CAN IMPLEMENT TODAY


The Self-Care Foundation: Angiras learned that she could not take care of others until she took care of herself first. When she was annihilated by burnout, she had to restart from base with deep meditation, calm living, and clean eating before she could rebuild her practice.


The 100 Energy Model: We start each day with 100 units of energy. When we spend 30 percent worrying about yesterday and 30 percent anxious about tomorrow, we have almost nothing left for today. Morning routines help you reclaim that energy for the present moment.


The Simplicity Principle for Marketing: Stop trying to create a month-long content calendar with blogs, videos, emails, and social campaigns. Pick two or three posts per week with clear themes and just start. Consistency beats complexity every time.


The Pacing Truth: Being superwoman leads to burnout. Even when you have big visions for retreats, workshops, and expanded offerings, you have to walk before you can run. Sustainable growth means pacing yourself.


The Momentum Starter: Like stepping into an ice bath, the key is to turn off your overthinking mind and just step. Once you start, momentum builds, and you realize you can actually do this.


GOLDEN QUOTES WORTH REMEMBERING


"I had to restart from there, take myself back to base, start doing a lot of deep meditation, being very calm and clean in my food. And it was about self care before I could actually take care of other people." - Angiras Auro


"We start the day with 100 energy. We think about yesterday and give 30 percent away. We think about tomorrow and give 30 percent away. When you stop and just be focused, be present, all those emotional things go away." - Roy Castleman


"For me, that was overwhelming. I needed something really simple. Just keep it simple, keep it like that. And suddenly the words started to flow." - Angiras Auro


"Necessity is the mother of invention. It kickstarts the creativity, it kickstarts the ideas. It gets through that writer's block." - Angiras Auro


"Being superwoman actually is a burnout. Just trying to pace yourself, just trying to make sure you're doing what matters." - Angiras Auro

Transcripts

Speaker:

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, power movers, wherever you

2

:

are in the world Today, I'm with Anguirus and Anguirus

3

:

is a very interesting lady. I'm not even going to

4

:

try and say the word now because I always get

5

:

it wrong. Anger is going to explain what she does.

6

:

And I've been working with Anguirus for some time now

7

:

and really fascinated by her career, her history, her story.

8

:

So welcome, Angiras. Thank you very much. Why don't you

9

:

tell us a little bit about what you do, first

10

:

of all. And then I want to go back. That.

11

:

That impossible to pronounce name is kinesiology. That's. I've

12

:

just got a mental block against it. Yeah, kinesiology, yeah.

13

:

But you do so much more than that, don't you?

14

:

Yes. Kinesiology is like when you take it down to

15

:

its bare bones, it's literally just muscle response testing. It's

16

:

like the muscles, like a sw. It's either on or

17

:

it's off. And if it's not on when it should

18

:

be or it's not off when it should be, that

19

:

indicates that there's an imbalance. And the imbalance can be

20

:

emotional, it can be nutritional, it can be structural or

21

:

it can be energetic. I'm going now deeper into how

22

:

it can be genetic and all that kind of stuff.

23

:

So we can get quite deep into it, but you

24

:

can. Once you've got the muscle testing, you can go

25

:

everywhere with it. And what I love about how you

26

:

approach life in the world is you're also a total

27

:

learner, you're learning all the time. But let's go back

28

:

now. You've got into this field for a couple of

29

:

reasons, but I want to go back right to your

30

:

childhood because I find that fascinating. Tell us a bit

31

:

about that and then we can move on from there.

32

:

Yeah. So I was brought up. I was born and

33

:

brought up in India, a international township called Oroville, which

34

:

is where my surname comes from. And basically it's city

35

:

in the making, with the intention of human unity, in

36

:

the principles of basically transforming human consciousness and the planet.

37

:

So it was growing up into that. It really started

38

:

with nothing. There was. It was really a bunch of

39

:

mad hippies on a barren plateau with no trees, trying

40

:

to build this city in the middle of nowhere with

41

:

absolutely nothing. So they all sounded a bit nuts, but

42

:

actually it's 50 years on now and. Or even more

43

:

than 50 years old now. And they've got like 40

44

:

million trees, they've got a whole infrastructure, they've got Everything

45

:

there. So it's still in progress and it's still happening.

46

:

For me that was. It was very small community living

47

:

for me at the time because we lived in. Everybody

48

:

knew everybody there was. We went from 500 people to

49

:

a thousand people to 2,000 people. So you grow and

50

:

you know everybody and you're growing up into that and

51

:

children are being born. But there was this notion that

52

:

children are free, children are able to experiment and explore

53

:

themselves and their. The future. How was, how did that.

54

:

How was that. That sounds like a magical childhood. How

55

:

did you feel going through it? For me it was

56

:

normal. Right. I guess that's pretty true. All I knew,

57

:

that was all I knew. Obviously we were told we

58

:

were the sun eyed children of the dawn. So there

59

:

was a little bit of this is the future, you

60

:

guys have got to achieve something. But at the same

61

:

time it was everybody just trying to learn how to

62

:

get along with each other, learning how to. Yeah. Live

63

:

together, cooperate, build something and actually really tangibly build something.

64

:

And you have this incredible utopian ideal in front of

65

:

you of if you take the John Lennon song Imagine,

66

:

right, in a way encapsulates the whole ethos of the

67

:

place. Imagine a place where nobody's in charge, right? So

68

:

it's not like being led by a single leader. It's

69

:

not being led by a very charismatic who. It's

70

:

much more based on the ideals and dedicating yourself to

71

:

a much higher ideal. And part of that basis in

72

:

there was also this idea that actually we're transforming consciousness.

73

:

And the place to transform consciousness is within our own

74

:

selves and our own selves. And it's only through the

75

:

work we do on ourselves and our contribution to the

76

:

community and working together. But it's like that kind of

77

:

blending of inside and outside. So you. We're

78

:

seeing so much more of that come into the world

79

:

now, Right. Especially in the last two years, especially since

80

:

COVID Don't let me swear here. But yeah. So you

81

:

were well ahead of that train entry. And what does

82

:

it feel like now watching it all come in? Do

83

:

you feel like you were maybe just a couple of

84

:

years too early or was it perfect? I guess for

85

:

me it was perfect because I was living that. That

86

:

was my whole ethos. So it feels like the world's

87

:

caught up with us, but it's still in work, in

88

:

progress. We're not there yet. It's still. We're not there

89

:

yet. So there's the idea. It's a journey, right? It's

90

:

a journey. It is a journey. I don't know that

91

:

you ever actually reached the end, because evolution being what

92

:

it is, it's always the next thing. So humankind is

93

:

not really the final top. You then get the kind

94

:

of the Superman, the next version of us, which is

95

:

like the psychic being, which is perhaps much more intuitive.

96

:

And yeah. When a completely different thing. So it's amazing.

97

:

Like we. You just hit the nail on the head.

98

:

That was normal for me. Yeah. That was just my

99

:

life. Right. I grew up, my father used to move

100

:

a lot. I went to 13 different junior schools and

101

:

we didn't stay in the same house for more than

102

:

three to six months. And now that you say that's

103

:

probably the first time I've actually even thought this. That

104

:

was normal for me. Yeah. I didn't realize until my

105

:

parents divorced and we stayed in, in Durban for many

106

:

years after that. I didn't realize what the world considered

107

:

normal. It's like, what is normal, really? It's, it's just.

108

:

It's where you are and how you. You do things

109

:

and it's your normal rather than other people's normal. So

110

:

let's move on a little bit. You, you then you're

111

:

growing up in this utopian idea and you decided to.

112

:

You got married, you give us your story. I had

113

:

the. Because the kind of. The main thing there was

114

:

around education for me, in the sense that actually because

115

:

it was such a small community, they were not necessarily

116

:

professional teachers. They were. It was parents doing their best.

117

:

Right. To educate, but within the framework of let's have

118

:

a new type of education, let's do something different. So

119

:

there were no exams, there were no tests. We didn't

120

:

graduate, we didn't go from year to year. We didn't.

121

:

But then there was a certain moment, it's like. But

122

:

actually, how do you compare yourself to the outside world?

123

:

And we were not an insular community. We're not. It's

124

:

not like we were a cult in which the outside

125

:

world is bad and you have no interaction with the

126

:

outside world. We have plenty of interaction with the outside

127

:

world. So it's like, how do you actually then frame

128

:

what you know and how you are with the outside

129

:

world? And so education became that, like the rest of

130

:

the world lives off certificates and degrees and qualifications and

131

:

that sort of stuff. So how. What do you do?

132

:

So I basically, at a certain point, I was probably

133

:

about 16, 17, I was trying to, okay, what am

134

:

I doing with myself? I got into. I'd already be

135

:

at that point, I'd done massa, learned massage I tampered

136

:

with the idea of becoming a nurse. I did Reiki

137

:

level one, which was like, right at the beginning of

138

:

Reiki, when before anybody really knew what it was, I

139

:

was doing polarity therapy. I was doing all of those

140

:

kind of things. But for me, education was it. And

141

:

I decided I wanted to become a teacher, and therefore

142

:

to become a teacher, I had to go and qualify

143

:

properly. So I did my O levels and my A

144

:

levels by myself. I found my own teachers from within

145

:

the community who were able to support me. But a

146

:

lot of the time I would just sit in my

147

:

room by myself, studying and doing and. But what actually

148

:

I found for me then, which will become relevant later,

149

:

is that I didn't realize how stressed that was making

150

:

me. But then the dream was that then I would

151

:

move. I was going to come over here and go

152

:

to university and become a teacher and do the whole

153

:

university thing. So that's where the, like, the whole concepts

154

:

around power of manifestation was all there. Like, you just

155

:

fix it, and if it's meant to be, it's meant

156

:

to be and you make it happen. So I manifested

157

:

all sorts of things because, as I said, I came

158

:

to this country when I was 20, 21 with a

159

:

suitcase and £100, and I had been offered a place

160

:

in a couple of universities, but they all wanted foreign

161

:

fees. And I came from poor hippie parents who were

162

:

not going to be able to pay the international foreign

163

:

fees at the time. And I remember just standing there

164

:

in front of the finance officer in the university and

165

:

kind of going, I have a bank account in Holland.

166

:

And he was like, that's it. You lived in Holland?

167

:

And I was about to tell him like, no. And

168

:

this voice in my head said, be quiet. And so

169

:

I got in on home fees. Look at how you

170

:

manifested that, right? Yeah. And I did my degree

171

:

in sociology and education with the intention of doing a

172

:

final year in teacher train, actual teacher training. But by

173

:

this point I'd realized that my upbringing did not equip

174

:

me for Central London teaching with kids of classes of

175

:

30 kids. But that

176

:

was just not a. Yeah, wasn't happening. In my second

177

:

year, I went back home, got back together with my

178

:

husband and married him, so that he then came over

179

:

here, because I could see that there was still possibilities.

180

:

I still needed to do another year of the teacher

181

:

training. Potentially I'd go and do a master's, I could

182

:

go and do all of those kind of things. But

183

:

actually then I found that then I got a little

184

:

bit sidetracked and I Decided to start working. My first

185

:

job was with a charity. So it was a disability

186

:

charity called Leonard Cheshire Disability. And I worked in their

187

:

head office as their information officer and then their information

188

:

manager. And I got into a bit of knowledge management

189

:

and things like that and around into there. Because of

190

:

the charity I ended up in, they do challenge events.

191

:

And we were in a big exhibition hall in Edexcel

192

:

in London and the lady in the stall next to

193

:

us was doing kinesiology. Okay. And I'd. Because

194

:

of all the stress of kind of teaching myself and

195

:

being quite self sufficient as a young person, I had

196

:

always little niggles and complaints and things like that. I

197

:

always had things going on. So I would see the

198

:

homeopath and I would see reflexologist and I was always

199

:

doing things. But I will often be going to the

200

:

doctors as well. What's wrong with me? And because everybody

201

:

knows everybody, the doctor was known. And my husband met

202

:

my husband outside the health center one day and he

203

:

just went, what's wrong with her? And he turned around

204

:

and said, she's a hypochondriac. So great. So

205

:

from there I. When I saw this kinesiologist and I

206

:

saw her leaflet and it was the whole thing, it

207

:

was bringing everything together. It was the emotion, it was

208

:

the structure, it was the nutrition. It was like, oh,

209

:

that's everything in one place. It makes total sense because

210

:

I had been seeing all of these things and fairly

211

:

instantly. So the first session she's like Candida and put

212

:

me on some supplements and a restricted diet. And quite

213

:

quickly a lot of these symptoms started to disappear and

214

:

she. And then I remember coming back from a session

215

:

with her one day where she'd done something. She said,

216

:

I'm just going to clear all of this trauma in

217

:

your system. And she just held some points. I walked

218

:

home on air. I was like, literally felt like I

219

:

was 2 inches off the ground as I came. I

220

:

just felt so light, so free. So I was like.

221

:

And then I got pregnant with my first daughter and

222

:

I thought, actually I don't want to be in the

223

:

corporate world anymore. I don't want to be. I wasn't

224

:

really in the corporate world because charities, third sector rather

225

:

than corporate. But it's still that same stone mentality and

226

:

that I want to create something which is more meaningful

227

:

for my daughter. So I decided to study kinesiology. So

228

:

that's what I'm off to do. But I had to

229

:

wait. So she was a little bit older, so she

230

:

was a year old before I started to train. And

231

:

I kept the job because I needed to pay for

232

:

the course. And then you, obviously, you have to go

233

:

through all the stages. So I probably stayed in the

234

:

job a lot longer than I should have. Yeah, until

235

:

there was that kind of. That's. That's the thing. You

236

:

go and you have an idea, you have a dream,

237

:

you have a vision of where you're going to, and

238

:

then from there you actually need to take that step,

239

:

don't you? How do I go and work for myself?

240

:

So tell us when you decided that it was time.

241

:

Give us that story. To some extent, it was made

242

:

a little bit for me, but I'd already started practicing,

243

:

so I'd qualified in 2006. And so I then started

244

:

in August of 2006, starting to see clients. And my

245

:

husband had a shift pattern. We had two young children

246

:

and he had a shift pattern which meant that he

247

:

had either a Friday off or a Saturday off. And

248

:

so I would just. I'd work in London three days

249

:

a week and then on a Friday or a Saturday,

250

:

I would see all my kinesiology clients and I would

251

:

sometimes have eight or nine clients in a day. I'd

252

:

be there from eight till seven in the evening or

253

:

something. And it was amazing. I felt really high. I

254

:

felt like I was in a really good place and

255

:

I was just a bit. That there was that tension

256

:

then. Do I leave now? Am I. Have I got

257

:

enough clients to make it work? Do I? But there's

258

:

a security and all of that kind of stuff, so

259

:

I didn't. And then they decided to have a. They

260

:

brought in some corporate chap who decided to restructure the

261

:

whole organization. So he made the entirety of head office,

262

:

plus all senior managers, redundant. But then when you do

263

:

something like that, then there's a whole process that you

264

:

go through and not every. It doesn't actually happen overnight.

265

:

It's not one minute you're there and not in the

266

:

uk. You have to go through processes and procedures and

267

:

consultations and stuff like that. And that took 18 months

268

:

and there were no voluntary redundancies. So I couldn't just

269

:

say, that's it, I'm going, please can I have my

270

:

redundancy money? By that point, I'd been with them for

271

:

about 9, 10 years. Please can I have my redundancy?

272

:

And I'm off. So I had to stick through it.

273

:

And actually the stress and the strain of that was

274

:

really. Actually got me quite ill again. And in the

275

:

end I kind of. I had the choice because I

276

:

started studying knowledge management. That I could have gone for

277

:

head of Knowledge management as a full time post or

278

:

quit and start this in that moment. Somebody threw some

279

:

tarot cards for me. Yeah, cool. Through some tarot cards

280

:

came for me and said but you will have success

281

:

if you go for the Head of Knowledge management. You'll.

282

:

That will be fine but it will be at the

283

:

cost of the family life. Yeah. So I chose. So

284

:

let's just dig in now a little bit because you

285

:

know so many times that we do things, we get

286

:

into things that help us and then we go and

287

:

teach it. I've done the WIM HOF stuff and that

288

:

really helped me. So I became an instructor and I

289

:

taught that. I've done the business coaching stuff and that's

290

:

really how I got to where I am today. You've

291

:

also had some personal challenges in terms of your own

292

:

health. I know you suffered from migraines and so this

293

:

really, you know, this is stuff that you know works

294

:

from a real personal point of view. Yeah. Tell us

295

:

a little bit about that. Just in terms of how

296

:

I use it for myself. It does, it gives me

297

:

perspective on foods that could be. Particularly with my migraines.

298

:

It was the foods that were triggering me what I

299

:

could eat and couldn't eat. It was trying to find

300

:

the right nutritional supplements that would work. But it was

301

:

also getting into the de stressing the things that really

302

:

stressed me out and I don't, I haven't found anybody

303

:

who does quite what I do. So even though I

304

:

have a lot of colleagues, nobody does what I do.

305

:

So I get plenty of people in with migraines and

306

:

I can resolve them quite easily. Persons I

307

:

need somebody who does what I do. So I started

308

:

training people now. Good. Yeah. Yes. And this has been

309

:

an evolution and we, we met at a business networking

310

:

event some time ago and since then we've been working

311

:

with a range of different business. We started with the

312

:

AI and everyone was like yeah. And you dug into

313

:

that and. Yeah. How have you found that? Yeah, kind

314

:

of taking. Looking at what I do as a kind

315

:

of a business and that it needs to have business

316

:

processes in place and it needs to have business strategies

317

:

in place and it needs to have. And I need

318

:

to have structure in terms of how I'm marketing myself

319

:

and all of that kind of stuff. This year has

320

:

been a massive journey in that because I've been winging

321

:

it. I've been doing this for 20 years, but Winging

322

:

it in a way I say I've been doing it

323

:

for 20 years but I had to restart in a

324

:

way, three times. Because when I actually got made redundant,

325

:

which I think in the end was actually 2012, it

326

:

was sort of there. So it was like, even though

327

:

I'd started practicing in 2006, it was 2012 before I

328

:

was actually made redundant. By the end of that process,

329

:

I was annihilated. I actually somehow had lost all my

330

:

clients. I was barely functional. When I say that I

331

:

had migraines sometimes. It went on for weeks, like weeks

332

:

at a time. I was like. And you'd get one

333

:

and you'd have 24 hours where you'd be functional and

334

:

then you'd go down with another one. And when you

335

:

get into that state, even as a healer, even as

336

:

a thing, it's like you start clutching at straws everywhere.

337

:

Everything stresses you out, everything. What is it this that's

338

:

causing it? Is it that you start clutching it, running

339

:

around in circles? So I had to restart from there,

340

:

take myself back to base, start doing a lot of,

341

:

like, deep meditation, being very calm and clean in my

342

:

food. And it was about self care before I could

343

:

actually take care of other people. And then again in

344

:

that kind of manifestation thing, I wasn't advertising for people,

345

:

I wasn't looking for people. They just started coming, you

346

:

know, and then they started coming back, and then they

347

:

started coming back. So that's such a big. Sorry to

348

:

interrupt. That's such a big piece, right? Yeah. That's such

349

:

a life lesson for business owners. And we've spoken about

350

:

this again and again. That's right. What. What are you

351

:

doing for yourself? Blow everybody else. What are you doing

352

:

for yourself? Because if you can't be energetically powerful today,

353

:

then there's no ways you can give your best to

354

:

the other people that you're trying to care for. We

355

:

try to care for our families, we care for our

356

:

clients, we care for the business, we care for everybody

357

:

else before ourselves. And then suddenly it's not working and

358

:

it's just a snowball down the hill and grows and

359

:

grows. And yeah, when you stop, when you actually stop

360

:

and you say right now, what am I going to

361

:

do for myself at the moment? You we've spok and

362

:

you're doing a morning routine that works for you. So

363

:

do you want to poke us through that? Yeah. So

364

:

currently my morning routine is to wake up at seven

365

:

and then I do the one or other of his

366

:

name, Joe Dispenza's. Joe Dispenza's meditation. So I do that

367

:

for about 20 minutes. From there, I transition into wim

368

:

Hof breathing and into that. Then I create a kind

369

:

of a little bit space where it's actually silence. And

370

:

I'm in a much more silent, focused place. So I'm

371

:

allowing myself because Joe Dispenza is lovely, but you're in

372

:

a guided meditation, so you're doing what he's. The Wim

373

:

Hof then allows the clarity and that kind of silent

374

:

space where you can just come into your center and

375

:

just be really focused. So I do that. And then

376

:

I did some work two, three years ago with somebody

377

:

called William White Cloud, which is all about going into

378

:

your intuition and manifesting your day, but it's also

379

:

about making you. You have a bunch of choices that

380

:

you've created for yourself of what you want to manifest

381

:

for your life generally. And so I sit there and

382

:

I spend anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes almost journaling,

383

:

but it's like automatic writing about what's the day. And

384

:

kind of. I include gratitudes into that as well about

385

:

thank you for all the things that have changed and

386

:

shifted into that. And then I do a bit of

387

:

Pilates into that. And when I am courageous, I then

388

:

finish that off with a cold shower. Now, that's amazing.

389

:

And the thing is, if you can do a bit

390

:

of that, if you can just start that, because this

391

:

is where we read. We already. We started. You know

392

:

what you need to do. We all know what we

393

:

need to do. Right. And. But then we don't do

394

:

it. Why is that? We know what's good for us

395

:

and we teach other people to do it and then

396

:

we don't do it. And it's really difficult to get

397

:

into, let's say I have. It takes 27 days to

398

:

form. I don't think. I think it takes much longer

399

:

than that. And I think we spoke about habit stacking

400

:

and just this main piece for me now when I'm

401

:

doing my morning routine is knowing that when I start

402

:

this is going to make my day so much better.

403

:

Yeah. How do you think your energy is for the

404

:

day now when you do your morning routines compared to

405

:

when you don't? Can you really tell the difference? Oh,

406

:

yeah, Massive difference. Yeah, there's a massive difference. And almost

407

:

to the point where I pick and choose which things

408

:

are the most important thing to get through if I

409

:

can't do the full routine. So yesterday, circumstances being what

410

:

they were, I got home from London at nearly midnight

411

:

and then I had to be somewhere early in the

412

:

morning and I going, sleep's really important for me. Asleep.

413

:

I actually, if I Don't have enough sleep, I don't

414

:

function. So I needed to balance the getting enough sleep,

415

:

waking up in time to be ready to go out

416

:

and doing my morning routine. So this morning I just

417

:

did the meditation and the Wim Hof breathing and then

418

:

I think I just wrote out the three main choices.

419

:

I didn't do any deeper writing work. It's like as

420

:

long as I wrote down the three main choices, then

421

:

I. And that's just it. We start the day with

422

:

this whole piece of energy and how much energy we've

423

:

got. Right. We start the day with 100 energy as

424

:

we open our eyes and then we think about yesterday

425

:

and we give 30% away to yesterday and then we

426

:

think about tomorrow. We give 30% away tomorrow. And yeah,

427

:

one of the reasons that the things that I do

428

:

is it allows me to get into now and allows

429

:

me to store my energy for today, which is so

430

:

much more powerful, I think, for me anyway, when I'm

431

:

actually just able to be focused, when I'm able to

432

:

be present, when all those emotional things are going away

433

:

from yesterday and I don't have to worry about tomorrow

434

:

because if I work on today better, if I do

435

:

my best today, then tomorrow is going to look after

436

:

itself. So now you're going through. And if you're. We're

437

:

now this process where you're doing your social media and

438

:

you're. We're doing podcast. Yeah, we're moving forward. How do

439

:

you see the future playing out? You've got. You've actually

440

:

got a course that's coming up at the beginning of

441

:

January and you're filling that up and you do a

442

:

couple of things. You work with clients, but you also

443

:

teach people now. So tell me about the teaching part

444

:

of it, because that's. I think that's really interestingly starting

445

:

teaching. It is the kinesiology. So it's based on the

446

:

Kinesiology at Associations training course. So it's a fairly set

447

:

curriculum, which is. There's a foundation level which is open

448

:

to anybody. So you can be a layperson with zero

449

:

experience whatsoever of anything in the health world. But it's

450

:

also suitable for people who are already qualified and say

451

:

nutritionists or physiotherapists, massage therapists, all of that, who want

452

:

to add more skills. And we take them from the

453

:

journey basically right from the start of like how to

454

:

test a muscle and then actually when you get a

455

:

result in your muscle testing, what does that mean? And

456

:

then how to layer the corrections on it, because in

457

:

a way we always Think of kinesiology. Oh, it's muscle

458

:

testing. But muscle testing is just the question, right? Then

459

:

it's what's the answer? And then within kinesiology we draw

460

:

upon most other therapies to build

461

:

up a balance. So we draw on chiropractic, we draw

462

:

on osteopathy, we draw on acupuncture, we draw on batch

463

:

flower remedies, there's neuro, linguistic programming, there's all sorts of

464

:

things again. And actually that then becomes the beauty. You

465

:

can take it where you want once you're fully qualified

466

:

and you can go deeper, diver into any different aspect.

467

:

So the first part of the foundation is six months,

468

:

it's one weekend a month and then in between each

469

:

weekend you do case studies and answer a few questions

470

:

to help you embed the information. But it's all about

471

:

practice and practical and actually feeling the body and learning

472

:

the energy of the body. And after six months you

473

:

are able, if you're a layperson, you're just able to

474

:

work on friends and family point onwards. But if you're

475

:

already a qualified practitioner you can then incorporate it into

476

:

your existing practice. And then the second stage then is

477

:

there's an in between module called module 7 which is

478

:

for lay people who want to be a sort of

479

:

semi practitioner and they can charge a nominal fee. So

480

:

they, we do an extra module where they're then qualified

481

:

for that and then we have the diploma level which

482

:

is a year's course course. So it's 12 weekends where

483

:

we then take you into much more, the deeper level

484

:

of the practitioner work on top. Once you get to

485

:

diploma level really then you also have to have your

486

:

anatomy and physiology and you do have to have a

487

:

nutritional qualification to go with it to get your final

488

:

diploma. So I teach that right from foundation right up

489

:

to the end of diploma level. Eventually we'll start exploring

490

:

CPD options and. Yeah, that's, yeah, that,

491

:

that's amazing because now when we started working together, what

492

:

are we actually doing? What are we, who are we

493

:

selling to? What's our icp, our ideal customer profile, how

494

:

do we get in front of them? And I seem

495

:

to recall someone being very reluctant to get onto social

496

:

media and very reluctant to get the videos out there

497

:

and do things. And this is something that so many

498

:

people suffer with. It's like I have, yeah, I want

499

:

to go out and business owners are great because I

500

:

love business owners from the point of view that they

501

:

have, they see a problem in the world, they've suffered

502

:

a problem, they found a solution and Then they go

503

:

and present this problem to the world. And in order

504

:

to be able to do that, we actually need to

505

:

get on, get in front of the camera. We actually

506

:

need to learn how it is that people want to

507

:

receive this information. So you started this journey now a

508

:

couple of weeks ago or maybe a month ago, and

509

:

you've been dabbling in and out of it for a

510

:

while. What's been. What would be some advice you would

511

:

give to someone to actually get going and start moving

512

:

on this? I think don't make it get complicated because

513

:

when I first started dabbling in it, I got. I

514

:

actually had a social media person come in and I

515

:

paid her some money or whatever with the idea that

516

:

I thought she was going to write the material for

517

:

me. And instead what she did is she came in

518

:

and she gave me a calendar and said, right, every

519

:

day, write this and this. And I was like, I

520

:

actually haven't got time and space in my life to

521

:

write like that at the time because, yeah, lots of

522

:

things going on. So it didn't happen. And I think

523

:

for a lot of people who are professional marketers and

524

:

very into it, they create like a whole month's plan

525

:

or a whole quarter's plan or this is when I'm

526

:

going to do my next campaign. And this is when

527

:

I. And for me, that was. I. I didn't have

528

:

the space and time to think that far ahead to

529

:

make that kind of content. And actually again, I didn't

530

:

either also have the budget for it specifically. So in

531

:

a way it was like I needed something really simple

532

:

which is like actually think about only posting two or

533

:

three times a week. Have a really structured. This is

534

:

how I use kinesiology every day. This is a myth

535

:

that there is about kinesiology. This is how you know

536

:

the training course can help you. And you just have

537

:

three posts. Just keep it simple, keep it like that.

538

:

But actually suddenly what I found is that because I

539

:

was always so overwhelmed, it didn't happen. But because I

540

:

suddenly had a focus that I have something to promote

541

:

that needed to be out there. I. The words have

542

:

started to flow. Necessity is the mother of invention. It's

543

:

all started flowing. And I have been posting almost every

544

:

day. I've got a little list on my phone of

545

:

things that I want to say and posts that I

546

:

can make and things like that. But I pulled out

547

:

somebody's sheet again recently and it was like, then you

548

:

have your post and you have your calendar of your

549

:

post and then you have your email marketing strategy and

550

:

then you have your video blog. And then you have

551

:

your blog and all of these kind of things. And

552

:

I looked at that and I said, I still can't

553

:

do that. Just start when we. You came to my

554

:

place, we did the WIM HOF workshop, and that point

555

:

where you're standing in front of the ice bath, right.

556

:

And you now have to get in it. And let's

557

:

face it, it's a. It's an overwhelming thing. Right. It's

558

:

a massively overwhelming thing. Your mind is screaming at you,

559

:

don't do it. Don't do it. Yeah. My favorite part

560

:

of that is I'll say, yeah, I'll set it up

561

:

and I'll say, okay, step, step and go. Yeah. And

562

:

when you turn off your mind and you just do

563

:

that, suddenly you get momentum and then you realize, actually,

564

:

I can do this. And this is what you're saying

565

:

here. You start. Just start. Because once you start, you

566

:

know, momentum will come. And when you start. We spoke

567

:

a lot about this. Initially, you're going to be right.

568

:

It's not going to be great. And that's okay because

569

:

initially nobody's looking at you because no one's actually here.

570

:

And as you go through and you change and you

571

:

adjust and you do things in a different way, you

572

:

learn and you start getting some depth in your posts.

573

:

And I've already seen that with yours. Even in this

574

:

very short amount of time, people are responding, people react,

575

:

and you've got some leads in from it and you're

576

:

having conversation with people. So it's amazing. And as you

577

:

go through this next stage, I really can see this

578

:

being a foundation of where you're going. So then we

579

:

started talking a lot about the business structure. Yeah. And

580

:

again, what an overwhelming thing that is. It's so overwhelming

581

:

because we're a symbol. Often we start off and we're

582

:

a single person doing the work of a whole organization.

583

:

No matter what company you're running, this whole organization piece

584

:

is there, right? You have the. You have to be

585

:

the leader, you have to be the marketer, you have

586

:

to be the salesperson, you have to be the operations

587

:

person delivering it. Then you have to be the accounts

588

:

person. Oh, and just put the admin person in there

589

:

and the executive assistant. All these things have to be

590

:

done. And what we end up doing is we do

591

:

the things we like, we do the things we find

592

:

easy and we don't think too much about the things

593

:

we don't like. Yeah. And suddenly at some point, that

594

:

just becomes a glass ceiling. You can't break through. So

595

:

we started doing the BOS stuff, the boss up stuff,

596

:

and just looking through that. How have you found that

597

:

in terms of opening up your mind? Certainly getting through

598

:

that block of what do I say and what do

599

:

I write and how do I structure it and stuff

600

:

like that. Using Chat GPT has been quite beneficial.

601

:

It like really just clicked and then it was like,

602

:

okay, this makes sense. And what I have worked out

603

:

over the kind of time we've been working is that

604

:

whereas ChatGPT is quite good for giving me springboard ideas,

605

:

it doesn't really know my language yet. I haven't trained

606

:

it enough to know my language. Basically I can't get

607

:

it to write for me. And I actually like the

608

:

process of writing and I'm very much somebody who takes

609

:

a piece of paper and a pen and I write

610

:

it out. So. Yes, but it's kickstarts the creativity, it

611

:

kickstarts the ideas. It gets through that, what they call

612

:

writer's block. Right. And that often is the stress. And

613

:

obviously the stress is the bit which then is the

614

:

start. The thing that blocks us anyway is because stress

615

:

shuts down and we go into lizard brain. Right. For

616

:

sure. Yeah. Crocodile mindset. So what's the future? You've got

617

:

this course that's coming up in the beginning of January,

618

:

if I remember correctly. You're starting to get more clients

619

:

in, but you're also taking yourself out of being too

620

:

much of the bottleneck everywhere. And. Yeah. Where do you

621

:

see yourself in the first six months? Next year I've

622

:

got a foundation course starting on 3 January, potential for

623

:

a diploma level course also starting either end of January

624

:

or beginning of March because I might go away in

625

:

February, which is very exciting for me and. Yeah. But

626

:

then building on that, because I think the next stage

627

:

of it is that the other piece of work that

628

:

I've been doing in the background is what'? My creating

629

:

a set of packages for individual clients and getting the

630

:

individual client packages together. I have lots and lots of

ideas, but I have worked out that you have to

632

:

pace yourself. So I'd love to see. I'd love to

633

:

run a retreat, I'd love to do. Run workshops, I'd

634

:

love to do all of those kind of things. But

635

:

I do know that you have to walk before you

636

:

can run. And I'm already doing a fair amount and

637

:

getting strategies into place and things like that. And I

638

:

still have to manage the family life. Yeah, yeah. The

639

:

real life comes into it for sure. And it's that

641

:

Just trying to pace yourself, just trying to make sure

642

643

644

:

do you do? Because the vision is a big hairy

645

:

thing. It's like, oh, big hairy, audacious gold. This is

646

:

amazing. But then what do I do this week that
