What does it feel like to lose everything and how did the fire change your life?
What does it feel like to lose everything? Із абсолют шок то є систем. I lost it all. You strip all these unnecessary things, and you are left with the basics. Money doesn't make anything okay. What I had been doing was not working. It hadn't been working for a long time. You cannot hustle
forever. I do have other shortcuts. You cannot give up and you cannot wait.
And welcome. Beat Shalethia, the growth architect. Welcome and congratulations. This is our two hundredth episode. So in this episode, I'm going to get completely personal and I'm going to share with you some of the things that I have learned in my life that I want to give you some insights on like what works, what doesn't work. Also, I'd really want to cut the bullshit and share with you what it's been like now almost a year after the fire, what it's like to lose everything and recover. And the question always is, what does it feel like to lose everything? What is if you like to lose everything is that the beginning is a absolute shock to your system. And I think this is probably true for anybody who has a major catastrophe in their lives.
I want to acknowledge that my fire might not be fire, but if you are like any other people I know, you probably have a significant challenge in your life at some point or another, because your story, probably very much like mine, isn't the princess woke up one day. Things were handed to her and then one day she became the queen and lived happily ever after. It would be nice and incredibly boring, and that's just not the way it goes. So What really happens in life is that as you progress through the decades in your life, and I want to acknowledge that many of our podcast listeners are on the younger side, especially on our YouTube channel, I want to give you a shout out and thank you for being here.
And thank you for listening to the show. And I hope that you find this valuable to bring this out to other people. What people have said about me consistently over the years is that they say I'm a a breath of fresh air, which kind of goes both ways. Like the first thing they say, your breath of fresh air, and then they say your breath of fresh air. They also say that I am a no bullshit, straight shooter, that I say it as it is. And that's really partially because I'm probably German and it's in my nature to not make a big fuss about things that Are pretty obvious. And that's something I had to learn. I had to get a little bit more sensitive around other people's feelings. But I want to share some of these learnings with you.
And I'm gonna be totally honest. So here, those of you who are listening and don't see me, I'm sitting here in my workout outfit. And I'm sitting here in my workout outfit because probably like you, I thought I'm gonna get up and then I'm gonna hit the gym immediately after that first phone call. Well, what do you know? Stuff happens and then this happens and this happens, and I'm still sitting here and I am gonna go to the gym at some point until maybe at some point it is too late or I'm really hungry and then I won't make it. The story of my life. How do you make self-care a priority? Something I struggle with my entire life because I am so dedicated to what I do. But let's go back to life. My career now spans forty-five years, believe it or not.
I started when I was sixteen working in a a lab, a photo lab. And then I moved out when I was seventeen and started my career as a photographer. From there I went into the magazine world, was a photo editor, first uh flashy sideguys magazine called Wiener magazine. I know, you can chuckle. And then a photo edit L Magazine and then I immigrated to the United States and I've been here in the United States since eighteen eighty nine. So a really, really long time. I think that what happens in life Is that we go through these stages, or you can call them version one point oh, two point oh, and I'm definitely in version three point oh, where oftentimes major changes occur. So I think the first one really occurs when you're around sort of thirty plus minus a few, when potentially you have a family, you have children, and you're now really needing to leave that part behind.
