I met my now husband who, I'll borrow this from Dr. Phil, I believe that relationships aren't 50-50, they're 100-100. And both of us had done the work to become full people. In fact, when I was set up with him, my girlfriend who set us up said, Jamie, why don't you have a boyfriend? I said, because I'm happy. She was like, well, I want to set you up with my friend, George.
I said, fine, I'll meet your friend, George. And then fast forward, here we are 13 years later with two kids. But all of that happened because I showed up as a different version of me, not from a place of lack, but from a place of abundance.
I would love to say that I'm an expert in balance, but I don't sleep very much. And what I'm going to be honest about is that's a terrible, terrible thing to sacrifice. So what I'm working on. as we go into 2025, is setting better boundaries. I would very much recommend for any solopreneurs out there having a business coach of some ilk.
I am a business coach for other people, but I also have a business coach. And the reason is because when I started as an entrepreneur, I was like, wow, now I don't have to also, I was always side hustling while I was in the corporate job. I was like, now that I don't have this corporate ball and chain, I'm going to get everything off the ground in the first 90 days.
I'm going to write seven books and speak on 90 stages and be on TV. And guess how many things I got done, Mick?
Zero. Zero. Because I was trying to do everything at once. So it was like that old meme, like I have 15 tabs in my brain open, one's playing music and I don't know which one is which. Nothing was actually going across the finish line. I think that prioritizing and setting boundaries is really important.
So for me, also at the end of the year, having kind of like a bit of a come to Jesus, looking at my P&L, which projects did I put the most time into and were those the most profitable? And if not, We got to fix that. You know what I mean? So I would say for me, honestly, I do believe energy begets energy. I just keep going. I'm very ambitious, but I also do a lot of things that I just love.
So truly none of them feel like work, but I should also manage myself as a wellness expert. And I started this whole game as a wellness influencer. I should manage myself, care a little better and make sure I sleep as well.
The science says that you're not going to live as long. So my concern for you and for me, by the way, is that I also feel okay after not sleeping as long. However, it's like literal brain damage. So it is important to try to get eight hours of sleep as an adult, and I'm not accomplishing it. One thing I would suggest maybe getting a tracker, like an aura or an ultra-human ring,
Another product I was introduced to recently, and this is not an ad, it's called Beacon 40. It's like a light that you put in front of your face and you stare into this light and it helps with the part of your brain that essentially is kind of cleansed when you sleep and it kind of helps repair some of that. So now that I think we should just be biohacking it and not sleeping...
But I do believe that you should at least pay attention to your sleep, pay attention to your brain, because it concerns me when I don't sleep. Because I do know the science. Even if I feel somewhat okay, part of self-care and your body replenishing, especially if you're exercising and working out, is sleep.
Acts of service. Okay. When I went into recovery and my sponsor, I would just – I'm stuck in my head and I'm having cravings and I'm having anxiety. She was like, I totally understand. That can be hard. You should reach out your hand and help another alcoholic. I was like, I don't think you heard me, ma'am. I said, me. I'm having a problem. I'm having these problems. She was like, yes.
So you should go help someone else. I was like, no comprendo. What are you talking about? No. It was news to me. It was news to me that the only way to get out from between my two ears was to go help somebody else, to go be of service. We build self-esteem by doing esteemable acts. It's why the first thing they teach you in rehab is to like make your bed every day, right?
Like by having structure, discipline, and doing things that make us feel complete and pride, we build self-esteem. So if you're waking up every morning and you're just feeling like I can't get to a place of gratitude, I'm just having a hard time getting my two feet on the ground and feeling good, go be of service. Go help somebody else.
Because I'm telling you, it's the life hack that people don't realize. And the problem is it's not because people aren't good people. We want to help each other, but we're just so busy. But when you're so busy and overwhelmed is exactly when you need to go be of service.
And you don't have to go work in a soup kitchen. You could just call a friend you haven't talked to in a while and say, how you doing?
That's it.
Totally. We have so much ego and it's hard to just say, you know what? I'm having, I'm struggling. I'm having a hard time. And, um, you know, a lot of people wait until it's too late, right, to raise their hand. But the reality is when you get the thing that's troubling you out of your head, saying something out loud takes so much of the power away from it, like so much.
And anytime I've had, you know, a struggle, whether it was addiction, whether I had an eating disorder that cropped back up, even in my active recovery, I've been sober for many years, but I had an eating disorder that cropped back up, you know, after I had had kids and I had to
stand in that doorway of my living room, looking at my husband on the couch, being like, am I going to go have this conversation right now? And I did it. And the second you do it, the second you tell somebody else, hey, I'm not okay. You think everything's going to get worse, but everything gets better. Everything gets better as soon as you brought somebody else in.
