Meredith Lile: From panic attacks to floating her anxiety away. Literally!

I know. So our paths just sort of started overlapping, which is what I always love, like, I always like take notice of that in my life when like my life starts kind of like overlapping with someone else's, I'm like, Okay, we're kind of like doing the same things, we're kind of interested in the same stuff. So I think I met you first in yoga class, I think so. I think actually maybe like the same day I met you, I was like going to yoga and then I walked over to float and like you were were on the

same that's right trajectory that day, Yes, exactly. So we both go to Core Power Yoga Bretwood, love it, love it. And for all you guys who listen to podcast, I had Christina on before, and she has such an amazing story. Gosh, she is the manager and like runs core Power Yoga Britwin. She's just awesome and array of sunshine, a ray of sunshine. She has something. She had five kids? She does? She has five? She has five kids to like you. Yeah, and I think she is bonded like six kids. I

think does she have six? Yes? I know she's maybe two adopted and then some of her husband. Now I don't know, but yeah, she's got a four seven and she she's got a lot of kids. And she looks effortless every day. Effortless. I also started like an orphanage. She even has a beautiful so she'd really does. So if y'all haven't listened to Christina's episode, you need to go listen to Christina's episode. She runs Corpoer Yoga. So good,

so good, such a great story. I mean, she struggled with like um sexual abuse as a young child and then it led her to a long journey in between but then eventually loving her to yoga and her purpose in life. So her stories are really redeeming, which is amazing. And she teaches a great cost a great class because of her. But my friend Ashley Wilson, she's been on my podcast many times she's amazing. Um, she and I were talking. We had lunch yesterday after we had we

now we have like these are our dates. It's like, let's plan a yoga class, let's go float, and then let's go have a salad, let's go eat. That's like the best personal like mental health day. You could give yourself a recharge whatever you call it, you know, personal care day it is. And then you if you do it early enough, you get on with your day and

you feel great. Who we're saying, like how doing that kind of stuff just makes you feel like yourself against So sorry, I ran a lot, but talk to me about your journey because you are all about physical, mental, emotional wellness health, prioritizing that considering you run the float. Tell me about what your business is because that's how we meant so it's pure sweat Float Studio. Candice is the founder in Bellmade. And I was suffering from like

debilitating panic attacks, debilitating panics. Yeah, Like I didn't want to leave the house because every time I hit a certain stoplight, you know, it would trigger it or I'd go into no offense Jason Stelli. But a store of place like that, and it would just trigger it. So what would get triggered? Um, I don't know. I would just like go into that panic mode where I'd stop breathing and I would think I'm gonna have a heart

attack and die. So several times you're having real panics. Yeah. So, Um, And it happened in about two thousand and six when I went through some trauma in my first marriage. Um, I don't really know why they happened. It's very mental. Does really can really start panic att it does? Yeah? So and then I managed them and they went away, and I don't know if it's just with all the chaos opening businesses, blending families and life. Um, they started

triggering again. And I was on zoloft and xan x and all the things, and my kids were finally like you're not present at all, you know. They would be like, you didn't even hear what we said. You don't pay at ten? You know. I was just kind of out of it. Where was your mind? Like? Where does your mind go when you're like out of it? Like where does it rest? I think I just almost numb, you know, Like that's my thing. I don't ever want to be numb. I want to feel and be present, and especially when

you're raising kids. You know, that's the last thing you need to be. You've got five three of your three that you birthed and then five total blended with your husband Corey, who I love. He also comes to yoga influence and he's all about this style, to which I love. For all you men, it's so good, good for you, especially a sound like that person. But I got a string hand in hand yoga and then getting in that sauna because the sauna fights so much infection, like it's

helped cure autoimmune disorders. Absolutely, yeah, I mean there's really something that. Yeah, it's good for your skin. It's it's like such a great way to give yourself a mental break. It helps your nervous system, it really does. But then also you're like helping your body fight off all sorts of terrible things because that heat. Something about that heat that just coming in. So what did it do for you with the panic attack? Well, I read about it

with floating because um it's used for PTSD. Um. Some

military bases even have float pods. So um, really it's just noise in our brain and we need to get settled down and you need to de stimulate and that's why it's so awesome today because we have so much you know, Instagrams in our face and our poor kids today that have to see, you know, all the bodies and the who's doing what in the fear of missing out and the bullying because you're not included, and you know, we just social media on social media, you know, and

I just think we have so much noise in our heads probably in the middle of all that stuff because they're like what late days really twenties exactly guaranting especially girls, how many girls are you raising for? What is it like it than this time? And dating and likes so much more than I can do online. We didn't even know about, no I know, like I don't even have

to think about all the things. Yeah, and I really do try to keep up with it or you know, now they're a little older for me to keep up with, but when they're in high school, I really tried to keep my finger on it. And it's, um it's a full time job, I have to say. And they have ways around things. But just be like I said, just be present and um, just kind of stay in the mix.

Talk to parents, helping I've told good friends like talk to me if you hear anything about my child, you know, like tell me, I'm not the mom that's going to be like she didn't do that or no way. You know, I want to hear and I want to be um told. If something's going on and they get into some stuff, I'll tell you so. But um yeah. So I started floating and it really helped, and so now I'm down to just some zoll off a little bit, but I'm

definitely more present. So I approached Candice and I just said, you just started doing it on your own. I got so, how did you hear about floating? I just started googling. Okay, so you just kind of like your own and you're just kind of desperate for anything, and you're like, because it's not. I feel like it's just now starting to

hit it stride. Like floating has been around, but it's I've always heard about it and always been super curious about it, But I feel like it's really coming into It's like moment now, don't you think like all health and wellness like we're really shifting. I think we're all needing it so badly after these past few years with COVID, this pandemic and the stress and then all the tension that we're all feeling everywhere. It's just so much stress.

It's just too much. When I read I love y'all's Instagram, y'all should just follow Pure Float Instagram. For Brent one, you tell us, what's the handle, It's at p s F S p s F S Brent would so pure sweat and wait, so what does that pure Pure Sweat Float Studio? But it's p s F S brnt Wood

and then there's Cool Springs right now. It's a mouthful, but y'all should follow their Instagram just for like the information that you guys should That's something else I really love about your your social media and I think that's how I can only like deal with social media and

all the negative effects. Is like you find, like you find accounts like yours who are offering all sorts of great tidbits of wisdom, Like you're offering wisdom about different types of sweat that you have, You're offering wisdom about mental health, and I feel that like, and you're sharing why the floating and the infrared saunas are so effective well, and I think that, um, what I love about it

is that it literally is something for everybody. I mean, we get pregnant women in late in their third trimester and they're they're just miserable. They can't sleep. Um. Candice actually did it all through her last trimester. Um. So your body absorbs the magnesium. It helps with any inflammation you have, which you know, being pregnant, you have a ton you can't sleep because you're miserable because you're flip

flopping around everywhere. Um. Yes, so it's just great. It also aligns your spine because it takes all the gravity off of you, which, as you know, you're staying it up. It's like bam bam bam, you know, on your body. It allows your nervous system and nervousus. No, absolutely not. And then it's for athletes. You know, athletes love it for inflammation and other reasons. Musicians love it because it helps with creativity. So we get a lot of musicians,

songwriters in um just really restaurant owners. We get people who live in very chaotic, probably loud, NonStop environments. Because oh that's where I was going with my rambling. Sorry, I some of just ramp Hey. I love that is. We never are disconnected. We're never disconnected. Even when we go to sleep. So many people go to sleep with a TV onto the very last minute or whatever, and then you wake up. The first thing, what is, what do you do before you even try to meditate her?

You grab your phone, You're looking at your emails, you're looking at your text, you're looking at social media, you're looking at your calendar, and all of a sudden, you're off to the races. You haven't even given your brain one chance to chill out and like have a moment of peace and space and be intentional about your day. So like, I'm so guilty of that. You know, I wake up, I grabbed my phone, our beds, so we're just getting all those radio aids into her brain all

night now. Yeah. But and also something you guys talked about on your Instagram, which I love, which I had never thought about. This is why everyone needs to follows Instagram just for the wisdom is habit stacking. And someone whoever runs your social media is really great. It's probably you you yeah, but they were actually my GM. She's great.

She was talking about habits stacking, which is when you want to create a new habit, you want to create a new lifestyle, get intentional about how you're going to start that new habit and then stack your life around

that habit. And so like that's what I've done with yoga and then adding in pure float and because I know I want yoga because that does so much for my body and my brain, and then to give myself the chance to go to re fill my body and recover with the sauna and floating, it's like I have to make that a priority for my life to do that. And once you make that your priority, then you figure

out how to stack everything else around it. Absolutely, I think you just have to think of it as you know, we exercise to stay healthy, we eat, we try to eat right. Um but then you also have to add in some of these other modalities as just part of your wellness plan and your lifestyle um so. And like I said earlier, autoimmune that saunas are great for that. So we get so many people that come in that have hashimotos, which is a thyroid issue UMI from possibly

breast implant leaking or just environmental lime disease, toxics. Works of the studio like has healed herself. I don't know if you can say you've healed yourself. All the way. But like the lime disease, symptoms do not present anymore, right, and you've just purged the toxins, so you know, the tick has bit you, so you have all these toxins in your system. So it's just um penetrate your skin tissue. It's not like a standard sauna. We're just the airs heated.

This literally as a medical grade sauna. They use it on babies and the nik you like when they have when they're born too early. You know, they put the light on them so it helps them, you know, progress quicker, get healthy. UM. Physical therapists use it. So so what does the heat do because talking going specifically to like autoimmune and let's talk about you panic attacks, Like what does that heat due to your nervous system and your body to heal it and help you overcome and honestly

get rid of these symptoms from your life. Yeah, well they're this is a full spectrum, three wavelengths UM. So the first is penetrates. The light comes out of these panels that are in the sauna, and it's carbon and copper. It's been tested for the e MF so there's no you know, electro magnetic magnetic that you need to worry about. UM. So the near penetrates the least amount into your skin, and that's more like superficial wounds, UM, collagen health, you know,

skin health. And then there's also the second wave wavelength, which is mid and that helps with inflammation. So if you know, a lot of us get sick and have health issues because of the inflammation in our bodies. So when you can purge, when you can heal the inflammation in your body, then you know it heals. It heals itself without having to do more traditional type medicine, right, because the heat gets in there, and like if you don't use the heat, then your body is just trying

to like rush to it as best it can. But this heat doesn't like fight or flight mode. You know, this heat just like yeah, super charges it. Right. And then with the autoimmunity, it's the third wavelength that goes the deepest into your skin tissue. UM. I think it's about an inch and a half down under your skin tissue and it literally will purge, you know, make you sweat like crazy as you know you've been in it,

like you are drenched when you get out. It's a totally different swift than a yoga or a orange theory and those you know, other type of exercises. It is, Um, it's coming from within. I know that sounds so no, I'm strange. It's hard to explain. So come, you've got to come and try it. Yeah, it's really amazing. So what started happening to you when you started floating with your panic attacks? Um, I just think it's settled my mind. You know, I be able to turn your mind off. Well,

it actually took me several times. The first time I held my neck out. You couldn't even let yourself relax, No, because I didn't. Did you do the sauna to I did the ona too, because some monies and I was like, what the heck? Right? Yeah, so um yeah I did that too. But no, it took me about probably three times to really settle down. And I knew when I settled down when I started twitching, you know, because I was kind of gotten to a state of almost sleep,

I guess, And so I was twitching. And when I came out, I really had like this sense of stillness and calmness. And you hadn't felt that in a year, and I have, and I have more of a type a personality. Um, so it is very hard in general for me to settle down. And then I also had a therapist that worked through some things with me, like, um, you know when you start getting into that mode, which is like if you think you're going to have a panic, like,

un listen, I'm sitting at a red light, right. She would say, all right, so you're getting in that mindset and you're like, oh no, oh no, because you can kind of feel it coming on, and I'd say, she'd say, listen for four sounds. What does it sound. What does it feel like when it's coming on? Um, I don't really even know how to say. It's like a rush of heat blood. You know, you can kind of feel your blood start rushing. And then I have a hard

time swallowing. Okay, I start like my tongue is getting really fat. It's very bizarre. And then my hands start getting kind of stiff, you know, where I'm like sometimes I can't even close them, Like I'll sit there and try. You know, it isn't your brain shutting down a little bit and gets your brain. It's all and it's all manageable.

So you know, like my my therapist gave me things should say like, here are four sounds while you're sitting there, so you'd hear a car screech, or you'd hear a horn beep, or you'd hear um the construction guys, you know, on the street hammering something, and so you're taking your mind off of putting it into that mode. And then she'd say, so you get through the four and then you say, oh, I need to look for three colors,

so blue, I'm gonna choose blue. And you start going through that and then look for um, smell to smells, so I smell gas, and I smell pavement being laid, you know, whatever it is. And then you've kind of worked your way out of it. Okay, the lights changed, you're moving on. Really, Oh yeah, it's really amazing, because what happens if you have a panic attack and you're driving, you don't have these steps, you pull over? Okay, yeah, okay,

so um yeah. So it's just kind of crazy. So have the has the floating and the sonnet allowed you to like not even feel like you have them coming on? Or is it all a team effort? Is it like everything you do it all together to make um the pie? You know, I don't really have them anymore. So I want to say it. Maybe it was a team effort. Maybe it's a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Um, yeah, or I don't know. But even during the pandemic, I was, you know, our business

shut down for a little bit. We had just jumping in Brentwood unfortunately the day after the tornado, because we were two months behind our build out and we just kind of picked that day like Okay, we get to ompen. Then the tornado hit and so we couldn't really you know, we didn't want to promote it. We were mourning for everybody in the city. And then three weeks later the pandemic hit. Um. Wow, So what do you do as a new, brand new business owner? Yeah, when all this

is happening, how do you handle that? What? What is your natural response? Like, how do you how do you stay motivated and not you know, getting super stress? Right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, because not a lot. It is a lot. I think what I I don't really know what at the time, it is the timing of that. Yeah, I did get in touch with the health department. UM and Candice did the same thing in the Nashville location. Because I'm in

Williamson County. She um got approval through the health department to be deemed essential, so she got to reback you know, open back up, and so we did the same thing. She's like, Meredith, you need to get in touch with the Williamson Health Department. And they were super nice there, like absolutely because people use it for you know, health reasons. So um, yeah, so they named us essential. I got that letter, and I think that put my mind, you know,

at ease. I was like, Okay, they're gonna like let us open. Unlike God bless the poor gems and oh, I know, you know restaurants. I mean, that's tough. So we we're on in close dirty days. Um. But the trick was navigating masks and because how do you wear a mask when you float? Well, you don't, but like if they walked in, you know, we didn't really have any rules around masks yet. So I was like, do you leave it on? Do you leave it off? And if I left it off, people would get upset. If

I put it on, people would get up sex. I'd say, you're too liberal if you know, yeah, you can't please everybody, right, So I would basically do it based on whoever walked in the door. However, they looked as how I looked, you know, like if they had their mask on, I had my mask on. If they had it off, I felt, okay,

have it off because I've never been a big masker. Um. Sorry for all those who are true like it's a true like almost like um moral decision people have, Like I feel like people who are I've kind of always set in the middle of everything, but like people are like really anti are really four and like everyone has such strong release on either side. It's like, you know so, and I do want to be respectful to people that have health issues and it's real, it's legit out there. Um,

but thank the Lord. I you know, I haven't had any issues, but I did have COVID. Oh how how was your experience? Um? It was okay. It was like last November, I just lost my taste and smell. I was super tired about five days. But I guess I was one of the lucky ones. Right. So okay, so you have this, You're deemed meant, you're deemed essential, which I totally agree because mental health is so important. Important When did you get on your mental health journey? Because

so much of your life now. I feel like just from like knowing you, we haven't known it that long, but I can see how you roll. It is very and your husband to like Corey comes to yoga and he is very intentional and obviously floating and doing sauna. And so when did mental health become so important to you? And have always been this aware of mental health? There was there a moment when you're like, I guess was

it your panic attacks? And that kind of led to everything else, And like, how has being aware of mental health and taking care of mental health, especially if you weren't as aware of it before, changed your life? M hmm. That's a good question, Like I have always. I grew up in a household that was very UM active physically

UM portion control UM. You know, yeah, like very guidelines, yes, guidelines to live by, not necessarily the ones I wanted to live by, right, but your parents or your family had, like they had things worked out that they felt like worked as the one way to work probably right. And my dad was just always unfortunately for him, he's passed now, but he was always ahead of his curve, meaning like UM.

He wrote his I think his graduate thesis on UM frozen foods before they were frozen foods and what was his The point of it is UM restaurants. My husband read the article recently was telling me because I totally forgot about it. But UM restaurants could have these portions prepared in portion control, frozen, ready to go, so that one restaurants, you know, got too busy or uh, supplies incoming as they were supposed to. They would have these

things already prepackaged and ready to go. This is before we had like microwavable things. And it was just crazy. He was always ahead of things. He had a pill business, delivery business for pharmaceuticals before we had pharmaceuticals delivering. So it was like but but it was unfortunate because he was ahead of his curve where they didn't always make out because people are like, he's crazy. Oh we had a subway before there were subway sandwich shop. Yeah, so saw,

it's just crazy. He was a visionary guy. He was a visionary. Yeah. But like I said, he was always too a little bit too m you know, too early for his stuff. His timing wasn't right, okay. Um, So that I grew up and then I was a serious tennis player. Um, when I was young and traveled a lot doing that. Um, and then I quit to the detriment of my parents. So sad do they want you to be like all the way? Yes? But who is really? How many people really go all the way? You're right,

it's a very thing. You could have done it maybe so I could have. For all you out there, you can do so I had a lot of structure and a lot of intensity around your life. Yeah, that's right. So I always My dad was a military guy, so I guess I always just was aware of keeping fit. But I'm not really sure about the mental knew that needed to be done. I really think I've learned along with all everybody else through the years, don't you, Like

you know, it's just become such an issue topic. Like I feel like, especially back in the day, people didn't really even know how to talk about this stuff, and it was kind of like if you about you're sort of crazy, like you're saying you are, and you just and we really had to push it under the rug. I mean like, if anybody in your world came forward and admitted to their weaknesses, admitted to their problems, it

made you look weak, you know. Now I think everybody is very open and accepting and gosh, if you can share your story, you might help somebody else. And people are all about helping others and helping ourselves and like even like with like your whole business and things like that. It's like, okay, let's like, let's prioritize our mind. We prioritize working and making money, and we prioritize fitness, and we prioritize so many things, like why would we not

prioritize what runs the whole ship? That's right, and the machine machine is amazing. The more I learned about the brain, not that I study it much, but when I hear things, and it's just amazing to me. So yeah, so that's number one right there. Gut and brains are the two things that we really need to focus on. Um So yeah, I guess it's just opper time. But I hadn't come from a background where, you know, we were non motivated,

non movers. My dad was a bit of an over cheaper and puttle pressure on two, which I guess put some fire under me. Sometimes I liked it, sometimes I didn't. Something that's with pressure in general, I feel like it can force you to be something and do something that you're proud that you are, but you don't necessarily know why you're doing it or it's like so like mentally exhausting to get there that yes, you get these results, but your mind has not necessarily been on the same page.

You know, But I can't tell you which is in this is funny about this? I hate my voice. I hate it. Yes, And I was listening to Kirby your podcast with her, and every sounds like an otters are hilarious. Kirby also everyone listened to that podcast. She's a stylist and she'll do a closet analysis. And I was telling Meredith even though Meredith does not need it, because you are one hot mama. If you ever need someone to like just like like razzle dazzle U, Kurby is the one.

She's so great. Oh, I've seen your post. She does a phenomenal job. Like she's awesome. I'm hiring her for the next event whenever. That is yes, for sure. Um, you do not sound like an otter, does not, but I sound like something. But what was funny is I um went to all Miss and I think I ate my way through my freshman year and I think maybe I was trying to like get back at my dad or something for all that portion control. You know what, I don't think you're wrong in that it's all of

a sudden you're on your own, you have freedom. And I was always the same way, like very involved athletically, you know, I had a very healthy family, and I just wanted to eat junk and and drank. Yeah. I just want to make everything bad. And so I think that's why I love yoga, because I still loved eat pizza. I still love to eat French fries, I still love burger and I don't want to feel bad about it because I don't either. I don't like feeling like there's

a good food and a bad food. And some people really work well with like parameters and you know, having off limits and on limits. Not me. I need to be able to choose from the whole variety of food based on what I feel like eating that day. And I just need to learn how to, like, you know, not gorge myself because I did the same thing I want to college freshman year and I went nuts me too. I was like, well, he's not going to tell me

what I can eat. I came to thirty I think so I came home for thanks Yeah, and God only knows I had not only one dinner, but you know, you'd go out that night and party and come back and have another dinner like fast food drive through afterwards. Every night wherever I came home Thanksgiving, my dad goes, what happened to you? And I didn't see it. But I was going to major in journalism, and so I wanted to be and this is the only way I'm like my dad was. I wanted to be Aaron Andrews

before Aaron Andrews exist. I loved sports. I wanted to be on the radio on TV or something to that sort. So I did the journalism classes and I got put on the radio and you hated your voice, hated my voice, and I turned you away from that career. Was your voice my voice? Could you just change your voice? And then I heard Kirby and I was like, Kirby, you

do not sound bad. So you didn't pursue it because you didn't like to do your voice sound And that's horrible, Like it's not no, no, but I mean like it's horrible to give up something that you really wanted when you don't have a bad one, When well, you know, do you regret that you gave that dream up? Yes? I do. I haven't like dang if I regret it. I wished I would have had more confidence. Well, and you know, that's another great point to talk on because I feel that way as well. I feel like a

lot of women. I mean, I'm sure man, but I like to talk about women because I is one. Um. I feel like a lot of women don't give themselves enough credit. And you can find one thing that discourages them to do something and let it really like discourage them all the way or take a different path, or take a different path, and it's hard to have like that confidence. And honestly, balls men have these balls they walk into like I can do whatever. One. Women we

walk in and we start doubting our we do. We doubt everything. And then if we have one that's the thing with women were so emotional. If we have one person tell us like, oh you did it sounded different than we sounded weird or whatever it was, we give up. We don't say like excuse me. But some men will say screw you, you know, but they won't do it. Now you are a great example for people though, for confidence, meaning meaning in a positive way, because I love how

natural you are on the camera. Um, I love. I told you I had a girl deliver a painting this morning, and I told her, I said, really, I should be podcasting her, if that's a word. I was, like, I mean, she was on the h the Amazing Race twice, she was in a band. I said, you should hear the voice on her like the girl I should be. I should be flipping this around on you. But um, I'm sure all your listeners already know how awesome you are. I appreciate that. Thank you so much for saying that.

And I have just not paying me to say this, right.

It took me a long time to get here because I had so much insecurity when I was young and my teenagers and then my twenties and had I had so much pressure around myself just from my playing sports and feeling like I needed to look a certain way, that like I struggled with eating and then like binging in college, and like I struggled with eating disorders and all sorts of stuff just because of all the pressures of being a female, people not really talking about stuff

as much as they do now. And I've got into just this roller coaster with like insecurities and body image stuff and then finally hit the wall. I'm like, I am so tired of this. How do you find that? I started doing things that interests me that I was really wanted to do that I felt like would validate me, Like I wanted to be a famous singer, so I pursued it. I had enough gumption to stick with a dream even though, like I didn't feel comfortable by myself.

So I got in a trio with two They're strong women, so I felt stronger with them, and that worked for me because I didn't feel like I was necessarily strong enough on my own to carry a full dream of becoming a country singer. But paired with my triomates tailor Engin, I felt very strong and they helped me find my strength within myself and like learn what I loved and being around two other strong women all the time. I think I would succeed more with a team. I love

a team. I do too with um you know the support. I love a team, and I wasn't ready to be on my own yet I didn't feel like I could handle it, and probably how you felt with journalism, I think I would have shut down immediately by myself, but like with Taylor and Gin, I felt very powerful and I grew into a version of myself that I love now, but also had a ton of learning lessons. I learned how to navigate high executive industry people, but with Tail

and Jin as a support. So that's a tough industry. It's very tough, and I think I would have got myself so the strength of having other people with me. So I mean, maybe that's something to think about. Strengthened numbers. Strengthen numbers. If you feel, you know, like you're a little too nervous on your own, maybe pair up with with somebody. Yeah, And then that eventually gave me enough life experiences to trust myself and to feel like I

was worthy worthy. It's all been to find worthiness, it is. The whole journey is to find Yeah. Yeah, I know how it is, and it's hard to find, especially when you're younger. You know, it does take some time probably to get that confidence. But um, the podcast was the first thing I've ever done on my own. I've always been with other people. Yeah, I'm probably that way too. Um. I even thought about bringing Liz with me to this because I don't like your part. Well she's not. She's

my general manager because you didn't want to. Isn't that funny though? But yeah, I was like, maybe I should bring Liz and Core's like no, but your voice would be a problem. Would you would rather have someone else do it? Because you doubt your voice? Isn't that funny our doubt? The way I'll put it out there? You know what I mean? You have such a great easy flow and a great conversation, and you've got you're such a great story. Isn't it funny what we get hooked on?

It is funny even you know as you get older, you're like, surely that stuff will go away, But yeah, I gotta work on a one million years thought you had a weird voice? So funny to you, it's like a huge thing. Yeah it is, and you've carried around with you for years. Right, there's not much I can do about it, right, so should we try to release it? So I'm trying to learn Spanish, so maybe I could just speak. I think you should just know you have a great voice. Thank you, and thank you to think

of it this way. Think of all the things your voice has served you well in you know like your voice has allowed you to raise your children and speak to them like loving and kindness over them, and like you help them grow into the humans they are. Your voice has led you to meeting your husband and navigating your personal inner journey. That like leading you to be curious and communicating those thoughts, opening your studio. I mean, your voice has done a lot of good stuff for you.

You need a voice, right, You need a voice, and it's done what it's supposed to do. That's right. So what God gave me, Well, it's like trying to get your voice LiPo section. Like we look at our bodies and we're like, oh, I need to like fix that. I need to fix this. But it's your body serving it's function for you. We gotta love it. Yeah, so we do. That's a good point. I'm glad you came by yourself. Thank you, thank you. I'm enjoying this conversation.

I loved it. Is your general manager? Is she the one that has overcome lyme disease with No? That's Karen. She's in our cool Spring studio actually a client, and then she wanted to work for me and I kind of was like, I don't know about that. Because you know, if it doesn't work out with somebody you hire, then you also lose them as a client. UM. But I just kind of trust your intuition, trusted And she was

so nice about running around town. She teaches yoga and she would tell everybody about us, and she would say, oh, I have a great connection because we have a lot of functional medicine. UM. I guess you'd call them physicians, a lot of more nurse practitioners, but um, which is pretty norn closed. Um. But they would send people to us from Karen, touching base with them because they believe in the modalities as well. UM. So I was like, modalities are all the things that like does well just

meaning like um, the services we have. It's like the floating high class words. You know what the new word is today. I've decided efficacy. I hear that all over efficacy. What does that like? People say what that the what? How did they say it? Like the saunas? Is it like efficient efficacy? Yeah, like it's the efficiency of it. And I heard it on TV the other day and I thought that like an efficiency, it's ethicac efficacy or the way that it of efficacy, meaning like that it

affects you that way, it affects you, it works for you. Efficacy. Yeah, So anyway, okay, enlightening me and everyone listening. So Karen has been awesome. I ended up hiring her because she was such a promoter of us and believed in the

services and actual results. Well, and that's the thing. When I walked in for the first time, she was there and she told me her story, and I literally was like, because I know several people with limes disease and they have gone all around the world trying to cure this because it actually my best friends says limes disease. I need to tell her yet, but people who have limes disease, it is so frustrating and it really takes you down, and there's not a lot of like relief and piers

out there. And so she said she's went consistently for like months. I don't know if she want like every day or like three times a week or something, but she was twelve sessions a month. So she came three times a week for four weeks, and she's all of her symptoms of limes disease have stopped presenting themselves and she hasn't had them in years. No, and she never got COVID. She did really interest and she's been around

people she doesn't. She doesn't usually like face masks. She swears on the swears on the saunas because it keeps her auto immune, and her immune might since even if you don't float three times a week like going to the sun, and that's the thing to you. You can separate these services. They don't have to go together. They're great going together. But even if you can stop in

for thirty minutes and do your sauna, absolutely that's great. Yeah, some people just do and it's just like instead of taking you know, like some people take like advil because they have pain every single day or some people. You know, you have these things in your routine, these habit stacking things you have in your teine. Just stack this into your routine and then that will help you in the long term dealing with illnesses and feeling great. Right, like we do we do yoga, Yeah, when we go sweat

and then we we feel okay to eat lunch. And some people are like, well, I don't have time, I can't afford this, and you know, and I totally get that, but it's like you can make this work for you, because just think of some of the things we probably

spend money on that aren't serving us at all. And if you are struggling with like health issues or not feeling well, just figure out a way to like change something that's not serving you and put it in this area because this will serve you in so many and you can't even do it for like thirty minutes here and there. And just because y'all are open to a PM, right, yeah, we're open. Um in Brent would tend to eight and

then cool springs nine to nine to eight. I just think it is so important to help yourself, you know. And it does cost money, and it does involve a time little time, and it is hard to do that, especially when you're working and you have kids and there's

so much on your plate. But because there's so much on your plate, if you can take a little bit of time once a week, you know, twice a month as much as you can start with, and really give your body and your mind a chance to turn off and have a break and reset like that will and then have heat come in and heal you and help you, and then salt as well coming into you know, if you actually can prioritize and not think it's like silly to like take time to do this or it's just extra,

but like really think about the benefits that will serve you so much more in the big picture of your life, like rejuvenate your your body, giving you more energy, giving you more mental clarity, like helping you not get sick, just so helping your joints feel better, just helping you do your life better. And then allowing you to like slow down in life too, because you have this moment where you turn off and then you can start trying to apply that to other areas of your life instead

of just getting sucked up into the routine of life. Life. This whole it just does it does. I'm like determined soon to put my phone down for twenty four hours now. I know I haven't done it yet, but I want to. But what if someone has to call you? I know, like when when I have five kids, You're like, somebody might need me, right, did you get a pager? That's a great idea, So this is only for an emergency.

You can page me at this number every I'm putting this fun down and I bet I would be okay when I came back you know what if you g that you know you need to be in contact with, if they all had your page number, then and they're not going to page me unless it's necessary. Actually, that's not a bad idea. The page challenge. I like it to sell pages. Can we get on the black market

finding a pager? These days? Blackberries, pagers, all those things that are way before pages are so probably just the number pops up on the page, right, I think I've never had one. We need to study how page even works. I know I've never had a page. I love that, though I do know I'm gonna tempted. But it does

involve intentional living. And this is the thing and so many of us it's hard to have intentional living, and it is a luxury to have intentional living, it sounds like, But really, if you can get on board with harving out some little space for you, even if you don't even like just like having a bath and pouring epps and salt into it, and like setting a meditation, like you have to find you need to start somewhere in

your life, don't you think? Yeah? And I think our mental health is absolutely I mean I hate to sound some like, oh calm, to everybody, But I mean it's so important. It's mental health. Like, be honest, I worry about my youngest because she graduated in the pandemic. She didn't even really get to graduate. I mean they ended up walking but masked and distance and didn't get to have her senior year. Then she went off to Georgia, was miserable because they didn't have classes. They were in

their dorm. She was like, why are you in college when you're just in your dorm. You'd rather almost be at home exactly what she did. She ended up coming home because I would be so homesick if I was just trapped to my dormo in a place I didn't know. I know, I just worry about their mental state, you know, I'm just like, gosh. So then she came home and finished out at home and now she's at Tennessee. But I'm my gosh, the world for them is so like stressful.

I worry about their mental and isn't like the isolation that not being able to associate with people, and then the division I'm not having, Like you know, how was your senior year and feeling so like just in your own your freshman year of college, you know, just like you miss kind of all those Pinnacle people because you can't be around people, you can't be around the virus spreads. It is such a mental it is such a mental thing,

you know. And you even delivered during I had sunny ind September in two thousand nineteen, so right before the pandemic, six months before, so you can still have people in the hospital. We had everyone in them, Thank the Lord's

not even feel bad for the mamas. I'm like, especially when the first hit and like moms are having to deliver even without the husbands and their masks everything, So that's so mentally hard, Like that wears on you and like everything the husband who doesn't get to be in the you know, it's like all this stuff and yes, we're navigating, but like these things have effects mental health.

And that's why more than ever now because also on Jill's Instagram, I learned in two thousand eighteen, the depression rate has increased like three times. Yes, it is like considered I think one of the second most detrimental diseases now because if you can call it a disease, depression, depression, yeah you can, um yeah, So I just think that it's something easy we can push aside, you know, because obviously you still need to exercise, you need to have a good dot, you need we need to make money,

you need to take care of your kids. But all these things always take precedence over our own mental health, which, like we said in the beginning, is the machine that runs it all. So if our mental health is suffering, then like everything we're doing is suffering. We're not fully present, and we're not giving our best self, and we're stressed out and we're strung out, and we're exhausted and we're panicked and we're scared and all of this is running

our show. But when it take this time for mental health, you can regroup and reset and get intentional and find joy and God and like something bigger and you know, yeah, and I think we could live to a hundred and eleven. I just saw some lady the other day then hundred and eleven, and I was like, and she still was like, she's probably did yoga, was a vegetarian and floated into

saunas every day healthy. I don't need to live in Colorado and didn't have internet, and when you just detached from all, I was like, gosh, if we could be if we could know that we would have mental health up until a really old age, like being present and not getting Alzheimer's and all these things. I mean, who wouldn't do it right? Because we just want to live a long life where we're present and clear and our brain is still functioning properly, you know. Like I always

think about that. I'm like, that's like a goal of mine. Well, and I think actually achieving mental health is really one of the greatest things you can do in your life

because it is personal journey, you know. And I think that is the thing that's hard, is like there's so many things that we can plug into in life, and like, starting even with school at a young age, you have teachers and like curriculums and all these things telling you what to do, how you need to achieve when you've reached these goals, what you have to do to reach

these goals. It's like, you know, and then you have a family environment that tells you, you know, you have family structure and you've got to do this as a part of the family and everything, society, norms, everything are being told how to live, what to do, what the steps are, how to get there. Ya YadA, YadA. Mental health is the only thing that you are completely in charge of by yourself, and you have to take initiative to handle it on your own because you're the only

one who knows what's going on in your brain. You're right, absolutely, that is a good message. So if you really that, it's the full one responsibility you have to yourself from yourself and only you can do it, and you can do it no matter what your circumstances are, because there's especially this is where internet is great and stuff like that. With all of this access we have, you can choose to access things that will encourage your mental health. Yes

for sure. Yeah, use your brain, take care, take care of it, intentional your whole body, and that fuel it. And that's why I feel like you're floating in sauna. It is just one more part of that picture of mental health. And if you can incorporate that into your life, you are serving yourself. So well, yeah you are. And that's why said it really is there really is something for everybody in both of those. Um. I mean, I was just sitting here thinking it through as you're talking.

I was like, people come with us of sleep deprivation because thinks people coming. Let's go through that list. I would love to talk about that. We like, the magnesium will help you sleep. So where's the magnesium in the salt? That is salt so when it kind of feels like you're in the dead sea, right, it does. It's um cool Springs has like a thousand pounds. This Brentwood one has pounds, so we measure it daily UM to make sure the salinity levels are up. It has a super

crazy filtration systems super clean. It's super clean. Not you're not laying in people's backwash and stuff. No, No, it's an ozone light and um UV light and they combine. It's a fifteen minute filtration um it. It It collects even skin cell sizes size things UM and it runs three times through so when the water comes out. The company it's superior. They said that it's actually drinkable if you

didn't have the salt in it. Awesome. I mean, so it's clean and yeah, I just think we're drinking sewage water from like our bright plants that is like so yeah, so it's extremely sanitary, extreen clean. Also there's no um cracks and crevices so that things can't live in it. They've made it so that it's seamless, so there's no there's no mode or anything that can gather. So that's another one of their things. UM, and they make um. Tom Brady has one of their floats, the Bears the

forty Honors. Now they're doing colleges like Clemson Tigers, so they know their space for sure. And I would say they are the premier float brand. But um, we get people kids with concussions. Of course, we you know, like a little doctor's note to say, just because you know, if they're under sixteen. But um, we get because it helps with your brain function so it will help them recover quicker. So we get kids that coming for that.

Like I said, we get pregnant women, we get athletes, we get songwriters because it does help with creativity because um, the magnesium helps with the brain functioning. And then also to take like let's say you or your husband went in there, it can take away the other business that's going around in the world and you can focus on more of what you're trying to dig into. UM. So that's why they like it as well. Just to shut

your brain off and let inspiration flow. Yes, inspiration, that's right for the creative people, which I'm not so super creative, so I'm always like in all of y'all and your creativity. I told your husband, I said, you know, it's a gift from God that you two can sing that way. Yeah, truly, I said, you can fine tune things. That's kind of like an athlete, right, you know who's going to be a Tom Brady. You know that's a gift from God, right,

and then you have to work at it. Once you know you have the talent, then you have to really Not everyone takes I'm sure there's other people out there who are born with Tom Brady talent, but they don't have the discipline, work ethic, or drive to take it all the way because what it takes to become that level you have to be on another level. He's like amazing.

I know, he's like supermanl it, but like like attracts Like of course they would match up because they're they're they're they're operating at their highest vibration in this life. I mean, you know, they're just so in tuned every part of their life. They're they're so intentionally living and talk about two healthy people. That's what I'm Yeah, it was too. I don't think they even drink coffee alcohol to be so, but to be in the mindset to be so permitted every day of your life to intentionally

living to your highest standard. I mean I don't want to live to my highest standard. I want to go through Chick fil A, neat French fries, you know, I know too, Like today's the day, like I started, I'm kind of getting hungry right now. I'm like, I'm gonna go get Chick fil A after I pick up money from school. Giselle would never do that. You would never do that, And I guess I tried to tell you know, like everybody's a balance, right. Life is just a balance,

and you have to find your balance, you do. You have to, you know, take the good with the bad and you know, figure out something in between and find the place the balancing your life to work. In mental health, you have to whether if you can do float, if you if you're in Nashville and you can do something like focus on it and yoga, do that. If you can, then figure out what you can start including in your life,

because do you feel like your life has changed? UNCEI You've started prioritizing your mental health oh gosh, for sure. What's changed in Yeah, well, the panic attacks have certainly gotten better. Um, I feel much like calmer, and I'm a better communicator. Maybe I'm more thoughtful in my delivery. Um, even with like my family, because I feel like I've always been very like quick to jump on something. I

unfortunately am that mom. That's like what you do. You know, when something happened on the playground when they were a little I was like, I'm sure she was, she was involved in it, you know where Now I'm a little more thoughtful than that, where I'm like, you know, so, like, tell me about the situation. You're not jumping to your own conclusions. You're letting them tell you their perspective first, without like yeah, putt black and white projecting what you

think is black. And I think I used to just be black and white and my dad was black and my mom was Now I just have a lot of color, you know. Color would you say has entered your life the most of you had to pick a color? Well, Red's my favorite color, but I feel like blue has entered. And I have a very calming wall in your studio. Yeah, I do. I love that. I think something similar in

a purple color here. I love that wall. That wall, this swirling it's like a gemstone cutter that it has like turquoise and all these different like gold specs and color. It looks like a beautiful gympsum rock cut open and all these swirling blues and whites and gold. It's so peaceful.

I wanted to make it really different from the UM Cool Springs location, which is very as a picture of UM the panhandle on there, because we have a place in uh Seaside area, so we have a big picture on the wall of that and it's a little more beechy with baskets and you know, seagrass rugs and things like that. UM and this one, I wanted to make a little more hip and modern because we're moving closer into Nashville, so I thought we might have a little

more eclectic. Not the Franklin people aren't eclectic, but it's a little more suburban. UM. You know. I thought, well maybe we'll have more musicians that are you know, creative and UM. So I wanted to make it just a different feel. So when you went to either location, because if you remember, you can use either UM that they would have a different experience every time that they went. Do you know what I really love about it too, especially the sauna part. I love the floating. Like Michael

loves the floating. I didn't know if he was gonna like it because like he sometimes gets claustrophobic and stuff, but he loves the floating so much, which room right, Yeah, I love them both. But I like, I really responded to the sauna because I love heat. Heat. I love heat, and I love all the benefits that the sauna does, and I love that. Like I've blocked off forty five minutes to sit in that sauna, which is a large chunk of time, but like I blocked it off into

my calendar. I knew Sunny was taken care of. I knew my responsibilities for work were like being handled. Like I didn't have anything around that time, and I went in and I didn't have my phone in there. I put on some like meditating music, and I just gave myself that time where I didn't have to do anything, and I was like able to stop my brain from working because I'm like, everything is handled, everything is in your calendar. Everything is like on an agenda, and this

is part of your agenda. So relax, relax. Yeah, I love um very popular doctor in town. Here goes in there and he'll do back to back with no nothing

like because we have the calm map in there. We have Netflix for the people watch TV if you watch TV, because just fine, because sometimes it gets hot and you need a distraction, Like I'm gonna turn on a TV show sometimes because you're like, so that's cool too, if you just want to watch a TV show and zone out in the middle of the day while you're getting these benefits. And what I do is I watched watch all the trashy shows my husband doesn't like, you know, like,

what's it? Blinded by blind love, his love, his blood. I love that. I was watching Brazil the other day. I actually watched the subtitles the other day. Did you watch span or subtitles? I did too. I didn't think I was. And then I love those dating shows. I love Bachelor, Bachelor, Paradise, everything, count me in. I know it's awful, but I still can find good in all of them. I can find I can, and this is

my escape that I guess. You know, So you can do that, or you can listen to the calm map, or you can do like he does nothing at all, um and just has that time because he's probably said he's a doctor, so I imagine his brain he's doing life saving things every single day, like you know, yeah, and so he needs to have a place to turn off his nervous system. The quiet is hard. Quiet, quiet

is hard. You know, I would actually go to him as a doctor because now that I know he's that intentional, and that he has such a high stressful, very like life and death job, and you know that he's prioritizing his own self, that makes me think highly of him as a doctor. Absolutely. I think that that's. Yeah, probably one of the reasons people do, you know, because he knows what he needs to do to make sure he

can operate at his best and he does it. That's impressive. Yeah, it is because mental health, Like if you are actually dealing with someone who values mental health, then they are very intentional because like you have to be intentional to deal with your mental health. You have to because it's hard to deal with your mental health. And a lot for most of our life sometimes we don't even know we've got things going on or what's happening. That is so funny you say that because I said that to

my husband the other day. I was like, is therapy good for me? Because all the studd now you have all these of a sudden I'm like aware of stuff. You know, Yeah, exactly makes you might visit your entire life, I know, And I'm like, I don't want to really remember all that, and now you have to. It's like your whole life. We had it in a box, and it was all organized in this box, and then therapy just shakes it up and throws it on the ground, I know. And then and then you're like, now what

do I do about it? And You're like I had all organized and I knew how to live within my box that I had created it on my own personal traumas, and now it's all on the floor and I'm looking at it. I don't know what the f to do with any of That's so true. That's exactly how I've been feeling. And so I'm like, I love her, but

you have But that's why therapy is commitment. You have to stick with it because until health too, you have to and it that's why therapy is not a quick fix, because now all of your ship that you had all boxed up and organized that you learned how to survive in is now all on display. You can see it your therapist since and you have to literally go weekly to pick it all back up and examine it and then put it back in your box in a different way. And then you see why you work the way you

do today. And it's funny asked about the angiogram earlier because I had done it, I guess about two years or so. Yeah, and I'm six. And I went to her and she's like, what's your Anyagraham? Do you know? Because I really believe in that, And I was. I stood there and I was like, I don't know. I need to go look at home. So I sent it to her and she's like, you're so a six. You know.

I'm very head thinker, um where I need to be more in my heart sometimes, but I'm very uh, just motivated by what my head tells me, which is not always a good thing. So she's trying to work on me to think, connect the head in the connect the head in the heart, and like, really go more with your gut, married And she said, you have a good gut, you just don't trust in yourself because you're so you're so in your head the thing with your voice, like

you think your voice would hold you back, right. So so that's a good part, you know, and that it's interesting because then she'll tell me how I need to deal with the four like you emotional wreck over here all right? With your relationship with her? You know, how would you handle her if she comes to you and she's upset about something? You're like, why are you upset about that? I don't understand you? Are you so emotional? This is not that hard. So it's really it's really neat.

And so that's something I've gotten out of it. Because my husband's a seven as Michael is to seven. They can just find the joy and like they're great, super optimistic. I know, I'm like, why why are you always half glass full? But it's great because I need it. It balances us out about for sure, totally. So yeah, so that therapy has been good. But like you said, your ships all over the ground, and I've got to figure out what where to put it back in the box or do I not put it back in the box?

And exactly and especially if you don't do it till you're older, you know, which most of us don't because like you don't really what. Kids start therapy young some more now because the world is getting more aware and enlightened or whatever. But like, so you start now in your middle age or whatever, and you've lived so much of your life figuring it out on your own, and now you have a therapist helping you do this. But it's like it sucks to have to deal with it

on then actually then be honest about it. And then you have to change the way you looked at something. And that's right, you can't block this anymore, just pushed it under the rug, and I have to feel this now, and it's like I have to actually have a clear vision about how this impacted me. That's up. Or you look back at your parents and you're like, so that's why I'm like that, you know, because you did this to me. Examining as hard. And then you have to, like you said, I put it back in the box.

Where I put in the box? How much space has taken the boxer doesn't even go in the box, right, Like I don't know if I want to back in the box. And then you have to recreate your whole personality and it's like tough, good, it's hard. That's what people don't like to do this though. They don't like to start younger, aren't younger and as you just said, middle aged. I'm laughing because my daughter, my youngest daughter,

was like, technically you're not anymore. She's like the Lifes fans about eighty two, you know, she was so funny. I was like, thanks, Lily, I'm telling you that. But you have got the secret to you because you are glowing. You're just like glowing. Yeah, it's probably cause you started

prioritizing mental health. And I try to take care of myself. Yeah, I try to UM definitely, because I think it projects on everybody around me, right, And also I love that you and your husband do it together, like I love staying on yoga together and I but that's also a blessing to me and my girls completely, you know, completely, we did and he he treats them just like his own.

It's amazing to me. And he was adopted at I think around eight, UM disappeared, well know, his mom got married at fifteen, pregnant at seventeen, and then his dad kind of left the picture. And then his dad now who he calls dad, and was adopted by I think at about eight, it was official married his mom married his mom. And I think that it was a blessing for me because he came in and he under still what he understood it for someone to have not been in your life but then to be a really important

role model. So he had a great stepfather. Yeah, absolutely, and he understood how valuable that was, so he could be that honestly to your girls. You knew the the what it felt like, and I think that's so rare. It is rare. People are like, oh, they're not mine, or you know, a little disconnect, but he lived through it and he knew. Yeah, and my kids had a disconnect with their own father, so they really needed that space field. So I truly think he was just like

a gift for us, you know. And he's always supported me in business. As I told you earlier, sold real estate and he was like, maybe you're a little too honest, you said, because you had trouble closing deals. I was like, how would buy anything from you? So why do you

have trouble closing deals? And then you said yeah. I was just like, I'm just too I mean, I don't want to say too honest, because realtors are all honest, But I was just to like warm my heart on my sleeve, Like if there's something that you wouldn't have liked about the house, you told it. Yeah. I had a really hard time separating my my personal likes and dislikes with my clients. So it's like if the house didn't feel right for something you for you, then you

would tell them all that reason. They're like okay, well yeah, I'd say, am another way, or let's look at some more houses, you know where they'd be like okay, but we really like that. When I'm like that's okay, we can still look at some others. And husband's like, okay, you're six months in, you haven't closed the deal, Like what are you doing? And he's like, it's not your house existence there. I think they should be in this school district or that school you know. So yeah, so that,

but he always supported me. He's like, how can I help you with marketing? And you know, and then with this path. He's my biggest investor in Pierce Weft flot student So is he what is what is he in? He's an insurance hands underwriting m company and then also claims company and um cool rings so as he calls it non sexy, but it was like, well past the fills, so right, it doesn't have to be sexy exactly. Yeah, so um yeah, but he's very supportive of this, and

he certainly gets started hearing about it from me. You know, like especially with the employment. If anybody's out there, where is everybody? No one's working? Where is everybody? Don't know. I cannot figure it out. I have like ads running and it's not that I don't get quality people. I don't get people right where they all go. So I know it's crazy. So every day I'm like where you know, everyone wants to healers. Everybody should come work for you guys.

I would love you do like saunas and stuff if you work there for sure free because we want you all to y We want people to speak of it, you know, and everyone who needs a job. This story should work because you don't get the benefits for the mental health and now we have commission and bonuses and

um yeah, I mean we're just it's great. And then you also get connections to all the wellness community, you know, because we have functional medicine, doctors, chiropractors, athletes, you know, partner with like we partnered with core Powers, like you know, just all those connections and how great. So even if you're interested in the wellness journey, this would be a great place to start working because you could get access into seeing what's out there, what you really gravitate towards.

I love that clean juice cross the street, je do to. Corey's obsessed with Osayo bowls, like bowls, they're so every day. I'm like, this shame given you a discount because you're there. Every dash is so good. I love it, I love it is. It's great. So we have a great community in Brentwood, you know. I mean if you think about we have all the health and wellness, but then you can always go next on and get your doughnut if you want to. There's even especially donut, and there's where

the balance comes in. That's right, That's right. Yeah, Well, Meredith, I just adore you. I am so glad to get to know you through our little life's crossing in any ways. And I have loved getting to do the sauna and floating and just like get more in tune with myself through that. So I appreciate you starting these businesses here and thank you for coming on and sharing your journey. I always end with one question, which is leave your light, and it's basically, what do you want people to know?

It's very open ended about the business. Whatever comes to mind, what do you want people to know? It can be anywhere. There's no rules for this question. It's whatever I'm putting. Well, I guess I would say, put you first, because you can't take care of everybody behind you or around you until you take care of your number one. You know, yes, you know. And it's not in a selfish way. It's in a way that you know if you need to reset, walk out of the room, if you need to, whatever

it is, take care first so you can show up. Yeah, and then you'll show up for everybody else. I love that words your mother. Thank you so much, Meredith.
