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

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
631
: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
640
:kind of thing of Being superwoman actually is a burnout.
641
:Just trying to pace yourself, just trying to make sure
642
:you're doing. We'll talk a bit more about the vision
643
:and we've done a bit of that. But, yeah, what
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
647
:takes me to that vision? What's the one thing that
648
:I can do? And just breaking it down into those
649
:modules is good. Thank you very much for joining me.
650
:It's been awesome chatting and we want to catch up
651
:again in a few months time and see how you're
652
:getting on. Where can people get hold of you if
653
:they're interested in either your course or seeing you for
654
:the, for the work that you do? So they can
655
:Visit my website, integral-dot co.uk that's my website.
656
:Or they can find me on social media as Oro
657
:Integral Health or One Word Magic. And I'll put all
658
:those contact details below there. But yeah, thank you very
659
:much for joining me. It's been amazing chatting and looking
660
:forward to hearing more about your journey. Lovely. Thank you
661
:so much, Roy.
